| 08:53.01 | sabinef72 | hi z00dax |
| 09:00.34 | Leeds | mozrat: to summarise popey's LUGradio appearance: he is da man, and is now the president of all LUGs in the UK |
| 09:01.19 | Leeds | for life |
| 09:01.37 | mozrat | Leeds: awesomeness |
| 09:01.56 | Cope | heh |
| 09:02.11 | mozrat | Leeds: I rather suspected as much |
| 09:04.42 | Leeds | that's HKD, USD and GBP... next time I go in, I may add ILS and/or THB |
| 09:07.29 | Leeds | so nobody's interested in free java - that speaks volumes, that does |
| 09:07.55 | SlayerXP | as the old saying goes "if java is the answer, it's a fucking stupid question" |
| 09:09.52 | z00dax | Leeds: i think lots of organisations and distro's opted to throw their weight behind gcj+classpath |
| 09:10.35 | morsing | Java sucks |
| 09:10.38 | morsing | Solaris sucks |
| 09:10.42 | morsing | Leeds sucks |
| 09:10.48 | morsing | London sucks |
| 09:11.30 | z00dax | morsing: looks like you are getting lots of suckage these days.... |
| 09:12.18 | Leeds | z00dax: hopefully, a GPLed java from Sun would mean that sort of thing could get complete and compatible very quickly |
| 09:12.29 | z00dax | or killed |
| 09:13.28 | z00dax | but its interesting, RHAT has been working on getting stuff GPL'ed while Novel has been closing up further sources and making deals with MS |
| 09:18.11 | mozrat | z00dax: why on earth didn't you dissuade me from using Novell when I asked you a year ago |
| 09:18.49 | z00dax | I tried! I tred! |
| 09:18.52 | z00dax | tried even |
| 09:20.59 | mozrat | Obviously not hard enough! |
| 09:21.24 | z00dax | :( |
| 09:21.37 | z00dax | what you could do is, release a source tree for sles |
| 09:21.57 | Leeds | slenstos? |
| 09:23.05 | z00dax | why not :) |
| 09:23.24 | z00dax | although, i dont think centos would pick this up. There are a few groups who are interested. |

| 12:50.23 | morsing | Cool |
| 12:55.01 | serris | Hmm... apparently it is a crime not to register for vote |
| 12:57.52 | murb | serris: only if you do it on purpose |
| 12:58.10 | murb | e.g. if they fullup a non registration and you refuse. |
| 12:58.22 | serris | Well I'm not quite sure what this registration is for |
| 12:58.37 | serris | Wether it's for the council or for Prime Minister... |
| 12:58.39 | murb | however they normlaly fail to even bother with that certainly in student areas. |
| 12:58.49 | serris | They said it's a criminal act if I don't send this paper back stating who I am and etc |
| 12:58.54 | murb | serris: you can vote for the council if you are an eu citizen. |
| 12:59.02 | serris | I don't want to vote though |
| 12:59.08 | murb | and for the pm if you are a commonwealth citizen. |
| 12:59.21 | murb | serris: also being on that list makes it easier to get credit etc. |
| 12:59.35 | murb | as it is somethin glike proof of existance |
| 12:59.42 | serris | Apparently they have sent 2 letters previously, written warning and also had a council member visit my house "several times" to ask for information |
| 12:59.55 | serris | I had no letters besides one which I chucked out cause I didn't wish to vote and that's it |
| 13:00.01 | murb | they have two versions of the list, the spam list and the other list. |
| 13:00.11 | murb | you want to opt out of the version sold to spammers |
| 13:00.31 | murb | (financial companies and political parties some how manage to get the non spammer verion of the list. |
| 13:00.32 | serris | Well I'll send 'em back cause I don't have an extra grand to spend on the fine I get for not doing so but it's pointless as I'm not going to vote |
| 13:00.35 | murb | ) |

| 13:03.39 | serris | Well I've read the sheet that came with it so I'll put her on there but neither of us really want to vote.. so I find it a waste of my time |
| 13:03.53 | murb | serris: just fill in the form, send it back, then it is their problem, not yours. |
| 13:03.59 | serris | I know |
| 13:04.13 | serris | I'll do that since if I get to the stage of being fined, I don't have the money spare to pay for that |

| 16:00.19 | z00dax | well, might have people staying with me Wed - Thu - Fri night this week |
| 16:00.30 | Leeds | wait, Sabine has never been to London? it's only a train trip away, unlike, say, random places in Argentina |
| 16:00.30 | morsing | Leeds is crying now |
| 16:00.44 | z00dax | morsing: you've never come to visit me! |
| 16:00.50 | morsing | :( |
| 16:01.01 | Leeds | morsing: z00dax came to visit me |
| 16:01.05 | z00dax | I've never been to France. although I've been on the train through to brussles |
| 16:01.07 | morsing | In HK? |
| 16:01.22 | z00dax | I'd like that. to be able to visit HK sometime |
| 16:01.26 | Leeds | no, in London... well, Ilford |
| 16:01.46 | Leeds | at the moment, I have a small sofa spare, but otherwise, y'all are more than welcome, of course |
| 16:02.16 | z00dax | we'll wait for you to settle in a bit |
| 16:03.26 | murb | z00dax: which means you've been in france |
| 16:03.37 | murb | atleast virtually. |
| 16:05.28 | boudiccas | I've just had a 160gig drive go dead on me, the other drives are 120g*2 and one 60g[i think] for /home and /. What drive would you recommned to replace the 160g please, and why? |
| 16:05.40 | morsing | murb: Beer in London on Thursday? |
| 16:05.50 | morsing | ibot wake everybody |
| 16:05.52 | ibot | ACTION throws a barrel-full of ice water on everybody and shouts "GOOD MORNING!!!!" |
| 16:06.24 | boudiccas | if i get hypothermia i'm blaming you ibot! |
| 16:06.32 | Leeds | boudiccas: 320GB - best bang-for-buck right now |
| 16:07.04 | boudiccas | is that a sata drive, and if so, can they be mixed and matched with non-sata drives? |
| 16:10.31 | Leeds | well, I wouldn't buy PATA now, but that's a size, not a model |
| 16:13.49 | murb | morsing: why? |
| 16:15.07 | z00dax | murb: true |
| 16:15.32 | morsing | murb: Beer is good |
| 16:16.31 | murb | morsing: londond isn't. |

| 16:24.49 | sabinef72 | hi all |
| 16:26.04 | morsing | sabinef72! |
| 16:36.45 | sabinef72 | morsing !!!!!!!! |
| 16:36.50 | sabinef72 | I read my book about London |
| 16:36.55 | sabinef72 | well I should stay one month |
| 16:36.57 | Leeds | sabinef72: still no postcard? |
| 16:37.02 | sabinef72 | there are so many things to see |
| 16:37.04 | sabinef72 | Leeds: noooooooooo |
| 16:37.50 | z00dax | sabinef72: stay a month then |
| 16:37.56 | sabinef72 | lol |
| 16:38.47 | sabinef72 | poor mozrat he won't support me one month |
| 16:38.58 | z00dax | sabinef72: you know london is not far from you, you can always come back often, its just a 2 hr train ride away |
| 16:39.05 | z00dax | it sometimes takes me longer to get from home to work |
| 16:39.14 | sabinef72 | yes it's not so far but train is a little bit expensive |
| 16:39.18 | z00dax | you can come and stay with me for a while |
| 16:39.29 | z00dax | i thought the train was cheaper than flying ? |
| 16:39.30 | sabinef72 | z00dax: but are you a good cooker ? |
| 16:39.35 | Leeds | sabinef72: I think maybe it's not going to come :-( not enough postage, illegible address, something like that |
| 16:39.37 | z00dax | i dont cook! at all ! |
| 16:39.41 | Leeds | sabinef72: do you like curry? |
| 16:39.45 | sabinef72 | Leeds: yes |
| 16:40.03 | sabinef72 | z00dax: oh my god ! you have to learn ! |
| 16:40.07 | z00dax | yes, well you will get lots of curry down my way |
| 16:40.26 | Leeds | z00dax: sorry for the stereotyping ;-) |
| 16:40.34 | sabinef72 | Leeds: when I was in China, I sent many postcard, some come after 15 days |
| 16:40.38 | z00dax | Leeds: no worries, but i do like my once meal a day to be indian, |
| 16:40.42 | Leeds | sabinef72: this ain't China |
| 16:40.55 | sabinef72 | Leeds: yes I love curry. Why this question ? |
| 16:40.56 | z00dax | although no curry in the classic british sense of curry - thats only every now and again, maybe once or twice a week |
| 16:41.12 | z00dax | ok, i need to go do some work. brb |
| 16:41.20 | sabinef72 | z00dax: see ya |
| 16:41.22 | Leeds | z00dax: hey - I'd happily have one Indian meal a day too :-) was having more than that in Sri Lanka |
| 16:41.45 | sabinef72 | yellow curry like in India is ok for me |
| 16:41.55 | sabinef72 | but green curry like in Thaïland is tooooooo much |
| 16:42.20 | Leeds | how about red curry? |
| 16:42.37 | sabinef72 | I don't know red curry |
| 16:42.42 | goibhniu | sabinef72: the train is great .. if you book 2 weeks in advance you should be able to get a return for £50 |
| 16:43.07 | Leeds | thai red curry is much stronger than green curry |
| 16:43.08 | sabinef72 | £50 ... how much is it in euros ? |
| 16:43.28 | Leeds | ibot change 50 gbp to eur |
| 16:43.44 | SlayerXP | it's more expensive to buy a eurostar ticket in the UK than it is an france |
| 16:43.50 | Leeds | SlayerXP: VAT? |
| 16:44.06 | sabinef72 | goibhniu: I bought my tickets one month before my trip and I pay 150 euros for one personn |
| 16:44.17 | SlayerXP | Leeds: the difference is more than VAT would allow |
| 16:44.26 | goibhniu | owie ... by plane? |
| 16:44.30 | *** join/#gllug JohnDoe666 (n=JohnDoe6@82-69-10-95.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk) |
| 16:44.33 | sabinef72 | ibot change 150 eur to gbp |
| 16:44.41 | sabinef72 | goibhniu: no by train |
| 16:45.03 | sabinef72 | plane was less expensive, but far from the center of London |
| 16:45.17 | goibhniu | I went over and back recently for £50 ... but I had to shop around a bit |
| 16:45.22 | Leeds | it depends on demand... if you book on an already-busy train, you'll pay more |
| 16:45.31 | sabinef72 | yes that's true |
| 16:45.53 | sabinef72 | trains was almost all full |
| 16:45.55 | goibhniu | it's worth it to arrive in the centre ... no farting about with stupid stanstead express trains etc |
| 16:46.01 | sabinef72 | especially sunday afternoon |
| 16:46.05 | sabinef72 | so it's more expensive |
| 16:46.25 | goibhniu | and you can check in 20 mins before you go .. v. nice |
| 16:47.01 | sabinef72 | but with plane you have to lose time in the airport |
| 16:47.07 | sabinef72 | with all controls..... |
| 16:47.30 | goibhniu | buckets ... it's a terror ... they rob your lip gloss and your bottle of water |
| 16:47.32 | Leeds | yeah, the train is much quicker |
| 16:47.47 | Leeds | the liquid limitations have been largely lifted now |
| 16:48.08 | goibhniu | except in stanstead I guess ... they just love it there |
| 16:48.21 | sabinef72 | yes now Paris is the same than London |
| 16:48.26 | sabinef72 | no bottle etc.... |
| 16:48.51 | sabinef72 | but duty free is possible |
| 16:48.54 | sabinef72 | that's really stupid |
| 16:49.01 | Leeds | not really |
| 16:49.05 | goibhniu | it's always the same though ... the big airports act like it's all important ... but when you're coming back from somewhere else they don't give a shite |
| 16:49.07 | sabinef72 | because I can put something on the duty free bottle !!!!! |
| 16:49.41 | Leeds | the point about Duty Free is that they know what's in the bottle... they're worried about people bringing dangerous chemicals through in bottles marked as containing harmless stuff |
| 16:50.22 | sabinef72 | but I can put dangerous chemicals in a duty free bottle ! |
| 16:51.06 | Leeds | but you have to get the dangerous chemicals through security, then buy a bottle from duty free and put the chemicals in it |
| 16:51.37 | sabinef72 | bahhhh |
| 16:51.48 | sabinef72 | you know terrorits are more clever than us |
| 16:51.55 | Leeds | are you a sheep? |
| 16:51.55 | sabinef72 | they can find a way |
| 16:52.02 | Leeds | to be fair, most people are more clever than Americans |
| 16:52.03 | goibhniu | we deserve it anyway |
| 16:52.23 | Leeds | or is that not what you mean by "more clever than us"? :-) |
| 16:52.41 | sabinef72 | lol |
| 16:52.59 | sabinef72 | I mean terrorists will find another for bomb |
| 16:53.07 | sabinef72 | I mean terrorists will find another way for bomb |
| 16:53.24 | sabinef72 | and you ? if you want to drink something |
| 16:53.38 | sabinef72 | you just will have to pay for a bottle in the airport |
| 16:53.40 | Leeds | I travel business class - I have my drinks provided :-) |
| 16:53.48 | sabinef72 | which is more expensive than in a supermarket |
| 16:53.57 | goibhniu | it's all just a show .. .to make people think somebody can do something about it ... like duck and cover |
| 16:53.58 | sabinef72 | I'm not travelling in business class !!!!!!! |
| 16:54.09 | Leeds | well you should!!!! it's very nice :-) |
| 16:54.20 | SlayerXP | first class eurostar is nice |
| 16:54.28 | sabinef72 | arg |
| 16:54.32 | SlayerXP | i paid a fiver for an upgrade last time |
| 16:54.36 | sabinef72 | for the moment, I'll try 2nd class |
| 16:54.52 | Leeds | oh, I tend to go first class on the train because the price difference is so small for the quality difference |
| 16:55.13 | z00dax | the last time I was on the eurostar, the wifi only worked in the economy class :) |
| 16:55.14 | goibhniu | as far as I could see, the difference was that you get an orange headrest instead of a grey one |
| 16:55.17 | Leeds | hell... paid a tenner for a weekend first upgrade on GNER, which included £8 worth of wifi, before anything else |
| 16:55.21 | SlayerXP | sabinef72: wear a short skirt, a tight top, and tell the nearest eurodroid you get claustrophoobic |
| 16:55.35 | sabinef72 | can I also kiss him ? |
| 16:55.44 | z00dax | sabinef72: only as a last resort |
| 16:56.17 | Leeds | z00dax: go back to work |
| 16:56.22 | SlayerXP | hometime |
| 16:57.15 | sabinef72 | Leeds: will you come to the next meeting on november 25th ? |
| 16:57.35 | Leeds | are you going to buy me a (business class) plane ticket for the weekend? |
| 16:58.04 | sabinef72 | 10 euros is enough or not ? |
| 16:58.18 | Leeds | nope... cheapest economy flights are $1000 |
| 16:58.21 | merlin_ | that would buy a coffee on an aeroflot |
| 16:58.23 | Leeds | ibot change 1000 hkd to eur |
| 16:58.33 | Leeds | ah, good old aeroflop |
| 16:58.42 | Leeds | wow, almost exactly 10:1 |
| 16:59.07 | Leeds | merlin_: flew to Moscow and back with them in 1993 |
| 16:59.07 | sabinef72 | 100 277 euros ???????????????, |
| 16:59.45 | Leeds | that's one-way, of course... and that's assuming they actually take off that day... it's a new 'low-cost' London->HK airline which started a week or two back - their cheapest seats are $1000 |
| 17:01.01 | merlin_ | that's next to fuck all |
| 17:01.05 | Leeds | yes |
| 17:01.36 | Leeds | they managed incredible negative publicity when their first flight failed to take off, because the Russian authorities had denied them fly-over rights :-) |
| 17:02.09 | cpufreak | the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.</oscar wilde> |
| 17:02.21 | cpufreak | or to paraphrase as many others have done, no such thing as bad publicity |
| 17:02.39 | Leeds | yeah... it was pretty bad publicity on their first day |
| 17:02.48 | cpufreak | not bad |
| 17:02.50 | cpufreak | raised their profile |
| 17:03.08 | cpufreak | and most people live by the adage that lightning doesn't strike twice |
| 17:03.12 | Leeds | their profile was already really high - it just got bad stuff attached to it... but they're going all-out on advertising now |
| 17:03.36 | goibhniu | anyone know their name? |
| 17:03.46 | Leeds | when you're competing on a route with BA, Virgin, Cathay, Quantas and Air New Zealand, you've got a lot of work to do |
| 17:03.47 | merlin_ | do they do a first class or business class service |
| 17:03.52 | Leeds | goibhniu: of course I know their name |
| 17:04.00 | Leeds | merlin_: yes - goes for about $6500 and up, AFAIK |
| 17:04.25 | goibhniu | I also heard about "a company" |
| 17:04.31 | Leeds | they're called Oasis |
| 17:04.50 | z00dax | ba have a flight from LHR to HK and back for just under £300 including tax's |
| 17:05.04 | z00dax | was advertised at their offices on Saturday |
| 17:05.20 | z00dax | which was quite amazing. since the cheapest flight they do to Singapore is £380 |
| 17:05.28 | Leeds | that's fucking good for a return including tax |
| 17:05.44 | z00dax | yeah, i thought the same. Offer is open till Tuesday aparently |
| 17:09.11 | murb | z00dax: or until sold out. |
