| 00:46.33 | Leeds | just for the record, I bought a motherboard with onboard graphics, low-end C2Duo chip and 1GB of RAM for about 75 quid, retail over-the-counter on Saturday |
| 00:48.42 | Leeds | would have been almost exactly £100 with a 160GB hard drive thrown in... that's a complete machine, bar case |
| 00:49.51 | Discordian | Even Dell have a c2duo server for 169 squid |
| 00:50.59 | Discordian | and quad core at 389 |
| 00:51.00 | Leeds | such a good time to be alive and playing with PC hardware :-) |
| 00:51.26 | Leeds | only annoying thing is that I ended up with a chip without hardware virtualisation support, by accident |
| 00:51.49 | Discordian | This laptop is dual core but no VT-X |
| 00:52.29 | Leeds | same with my laptop, but it was a conscious - wrong - decision to get this chip |
| 00:52.41 | Leeds | the one I bought on Saturday, I thought had support, but it doesn't |
| 00:52.43 | Discordian | T2060 here |
| 00:53.01 | Discordian | which is a bit naff |
| 00:53.11 | Discordian | and no EMT64 either |
| 00:53.58 | Leeds | T2300 in the laptop... does have AMD64, AFAIK |
| 00:54.50 | Discordian | T2300 is Intel of course |
| 00:55.04 | Leeds | yes, but the 64-bit standard was created by AMD... |
| 00:55.11 | Discordian | So it'd be EMT64 not AMD64 |
| 00:55.29 | Leeds | but it's Intel's implementation of AMD's standard |
| 00:55.39 | Leeds | anyway |
| 00:56.34 | Leeds | I am regularly shocked by my ability to make friends with really beautiful women... must get dressed and go to work |
| 00:59.13 | z00dax | oohh... what ? |
| 00:59.36 | Discordian | It's a bug in xorg actually |
| 00:59.45 | Discordian | xcb-libx |
| 01:01.19 | Discordian | java and anything else that calls xcb fails with an assertion |
| 01:01.40 | z00dax | use centos-5.1 :D |
| 01:01.43 | z00dax | it works fine |
| 01:02.14 | Discordian | err yes so does F7 |
| 01:02.29 | Discordian | but moving forward .. |
| 01:03.21 | z00dax | Leeds: if you have some of those lady friends of yours in surplus..... feel free to pass them along this way |
| 01:04.20 | Discordian | 35K for DB2 express from IBM |
| 01:05.17 | z00dax | Discordian: i am quite sure there is a free edition as well |
| 01:05.21 | z00dax | for upto 4 cores or something |
| 01:05.37 | Discordian | express is free |
| 01:05.57 | Discordian | 35Kb/s is the rate it's downloading |
| 01:06.06 | Leeds | LOL |
| 01:06.29 | z00dax | ah! |
| 01:06.41 | Leeds | z00dax: I actually appear to be on the verge of becoming non-single... |
| 01:06.54 | z00dax | Leeds: yay! |
| 01:07.08 | Leeds | :-D |
| 01:07.12 | Discordian | I'm populating this OS instance with Databases |
| 01:07.12 | z00dax | make sure its with someone who in turn has lots of single girl-friends |
| 01:07.32 | Discordian | Since I'm chasing some DBA jobw |
| 01:07.36 | Discordian | jobs |
| 01:07.52 | z00dax | Discordian: i heard that mysql now has a certification course |
| 01:08.37 | Discordian | I completed the Oracle DBA course |
| 01:08.52 | z00dax | :) |
| 01:08.54 | z00dax | nice one |

| 17:12.00 | rhowe | Multipath on Linux is EASY! |
| 17:12.49 | z00dax | rhowe: sure is |
| 17:14.24 | hali | ifenslave? |

| 17:14.42 | rhowe | multipath I/O (fibrechannel) |
| 17:15.05 | wethrin | rhowe: Easier than a Scouser after a Friday night? |
| 17:15.05 | hali | ah, yes, using powerpath? |
| 17:15.44 | rhowe | just apt-get install multipath-tools |
| 17:16.22 | hali | hm, is that supported by fabric and SAN vendors? |
| 17:16.39 | rhowe | It's supported by me :P |
| 17:17.02 | hali | hm, i wouldn't get away with that |
| 17:17.06 | hali | we need someone to blame |
| 17:17.21 | hali | and im not rich enough to blame (a.k.a sue) |
| 17:18.19 | wethrin | I'd blame rhowe :) |
| 17:19.31 | hali | yes, "this guy on irc said it works fine for our mission critical setup" |
| 17:19.47 | rhowe | Well I just spent 10 minutes pulling LC connectors out |
| 17:19.48 | z00dax | wethrin: are you going to make some noise about drinks on the 20th ? |
| 17:19.52 | z00dax | or was it the 21st ? |
| 17:19.54 | wethrin | 21st |
| 17:19.55 | rhowe | I think that's sufficient testing, no? :) |
| 17:19.59 | wethrin | Oh, bum. I suppose I should |
| 17:20.28 | rhowe | The Market Porter |
| 17:20.29 | hali | bar kick in shoreditch? |
| 17:20.31 | rhowe | Or the Royal Oak |
| 17:20.44 | wethrin | Isn't the MP likely to be packed on a Friday evening? |
| 17:20.44 | z00dax | wethrin: the old mill |
| 17:20.48 | rhowe | The Bird Cage, next to Stoke Newington |
| 17:21.50 | z00dax | http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&um=1&q=the+old+mill,&near=Bexley&fb=1&view=text&latlng=51441507,150091,8018512137084238801# |
| 17:22.01 | wethrin | That sounds like it's outside Zone 1 |
| 17:22.10 | z00dax | just a nudge out of zone7 |
| 17:22.15 | wethrin | Hmm. |
| 17:22.18 | z00dax | but hey, its around the corner from me :D |
| 17:22.21 | wethrin | And not in a good direction for me :) |
| 17:24.20 | z00dax | how about the pineapple then ? |
| 17:24.27 | z00dax | in kentish town |
| 17:24.43 | hali | whats wrong with zone 1? |
| 17:24.59 | z00dax | too crowded, too noisy |
| 17:25.22 | hali | but much easier for people to get too |
| 17:25.53 | wethrin | The inner bit of Zone 2 might be okay. Just about :) |
| 17:26.06 | wethrin | I'll email the -social list at some point soon. |
| 17:26.47 | hali | kentish town should be ok if it's close to the tube, northern line is easy access |
| 17:27.05 | wethrin | But the Northern Line is hateful |
| 17:27.15 | wethrin | Although handy enough from Kings Cross |
| 17:27.23 | wethrin | I won't be carrying much, so it'll be okay |
| 17:27.39 | z00dax | pineapple is about 5 min walk from the tube |
| 17:28.00 | z00dax | but, i am sure we can find someplace quiet around zone1 as well |
| 17:28.02 | hali | and you can go to that nice swingers club in kentish town after |
| 17:28.16 | z00dax | whats that place next to the southwark bridge ? |
| 17:28.16 | wethrin | Well, if I mail the list, I hope I'll get some suggestions |
| 17:28.27 | wethrin | Barrowboy & Banker? |
| 17:29.07 | hali | Jamies by liverpool street ;) |
| 17:30.02 | z00dax | wethrin: not sure, its on the bankside, just left of the bridge heading north. you need to walk past it enroute to the tate modern |
| 17:30.08 | wethrin | Anchor? |
| 17:30.14 | z00dax | i've been in there a few times.... they do food as well |
| 17:30.16 | z00dax | maybe. |
| 17:30.19 | wethrin | Bankside is better in the summer |
| 17:30.24 | wethrin | (IMHO) |
| 17:30.26 | z00dax | Anchor definitely sounds better |
| 17:30.40 | z00dax | wethrin: sure, but this place has enough space inside to not need to be outside |
| 17:30.41 | hali | Dragon bra on city road? |
| 17:30.43 | hali | bar* |
| 17:31.00 | wethrin | Ooh, okay |

| 21:01.31 | boudiccas | z00dax; can you do the 14th december??? |
| 21:01.44 | z00dax | do what on the 14th ? |
| 21:01.53 | boudiccas | Kent lug social meeting |
| 21:02.03 | z00dax | where is it ? |
| 21:02.09 | boudiccas | its the last one this year. in Maidstone |
| 21:02.29 | z00dax | i dont have anything planned for the night, would it be ok if I made it by 7pm or something thereabouts ? |
| 21:02.53 | boudiccas | we don't arrive till about 1930ish, but you're welcome at any time |

| 21:03.32 | boudiccas | I'll include you in the mailing list which gives directions for how to get to where we are |
| 21:03.44 | z00dax | sounds good |
| 21:04.14 | z00dax | if i leave from work by 6 - i should be home by 7 and ME should be around 45 min from here |

| 21:33.39 | z00dax | might be able to make it i think |
| 22:12.44 | Discordian | gah I have an interview in Woking tomorrow |
| 22:13.19 | antiphase | It's only 30 minutes from Waterloo, it's not like it's the Western Isles or something :) |
| 22:13.59 | Discordian | aye |
| 22:14.23 | Discordian | i'll be shuffling via waterloo |
| 22:27.27 | z00dax | i need to check train timings as well, am training it to work and back tomorrow |
| 22:27.33 | z00dax | not looking forward to that |
| 22:29.25 | Discordian | Where do you have to get to? |
| 22:30.21 | z00dax | Kentish Town |
| 22:30.58 | Discordian | Any train that serves London Bridge then |
| 22:31.04 | z00dax | yea |
| 22:31.10 | Discordian | and the northern |
| 22:31.14 | z00dax | but the walk to the station isnt fun - nor the walk back at 11pm |
| 22:31.40 | Discordian | or CX and bus it |
| 22:31.57 | z00dax | there is 1 bus that goes down that way |
| 22:32.01 | z00dax | every hour |
| 22:32.12 | z00dax | and it has an error rate fo +/- 20 min |
| 22:32.18 | z00dax | i dont fancy standing around for 40 min :D |
| 22:32.34 | Discordian | There's 3 buses from camden town |
| 22:32.43 | Discordian | All quite regular |
| 22:32.51 | z00dax | well... from princessroad to crayford station |
| 22:33.04 | z00dax | once i am in the city its fine |
| 22:33.10 | Discordian | oh the 492 |
| 22:33.14 | z00dax | indeed |
| 22:33.31 | Discordian | It can be erratic |
| 22:33.47 | Discordian | runs past my house |
| 22:36.26 | Ch0Hag | Protection from a priest doesn't expire does it? |
| 22:36.43 | Ch0Hag | Damn IRSSI and its being on window 4 instead of 5. |
| 22:36.51 | Ch0Hag | # |
| 22:40.28 | z00dax | so, tfl seems to think its going to take me 2 hrs and 45 min one way |
| 22:40.29 | z00dax | wtf |
| 22:40.47 | Discordian | That's amd |
| 22:40.50 | Discordian | mad |
| 22:40.53 | z00dax | Discordian: btw, you know how much a travel card costs these days from crayford into town ? |
| 22:41.06 | Discordian | < 8 quid |
| 22:41.12 | Discordian | off peak |
| 22:42.16 | z00dax | hahahahaha |
| 22:42.17 | z00dax | so... |
| 22:42.37 | z00dax | if i say i want to get from my place to Greenwich North tube station, tfl says... |
| 22:43.07 | Discordian | You must be outside zone 6 |
| 22:43.09 | z00dax | walk to london road, get the 492, to crayford station, get the train to London Bridge |
| 22:43.20 | z00dax | and then get the tube back to greenwich |
| 22:43.31 | z00dax | which is a mad 1 hr and 28 min journey |
| 22:43.43 | z00dax | but if i just get the bus from bexley to north greenwich, thats 42 min |
| 22:43.47 | Discordian | That's about right |
| 22:43.52 | z00dax | i think tfl has been smoking too much crack |
| 22:44.10 | Discordian | I'd suggest caution |
| 22:44.55 | Discordian | The bus from bexley to greenwich would use the lower road |
| 22:45.14 | Discordian | That can take 2 hours woolwich to greenwich |
| 22:45.16 | z00dax | there is one that goes up shooters hill |
| 22:46.35 | Discordian | and eventually it has to cross the lower road and go to the peninsula to get to the DLR |
| 22:47.17 | z00dax | i can cycle along the river side and get there in less than an hour |
| 22:47.25 | z00dax | have done that 3 times this year |
| 22:47.37 | z00dax | although, in the max summer temp, so it was mildly enjoyable |
| 22:47.45 | z00dax | will not attempt that in the freezing cold of these days |
| 22:47.57 | z00dax | wonder if i can just cycle down to crayford and leave my bike there |
| 22:48.06 | z00dax | not sure if there will be much left of it when i get back |
| 22:48.11 | Discordian | there's a bike shed |
| 22:48.25 | Discordian | i'd make sure you locked it |
| 22:49.04 | z00dax | wonder if i can get a cheap bike from ebay |
| 22:49.41 | Discordian | good plan if you're gonna do that |
| 22:50.00 | z00dax | i am going to try avoid driving into town for Dec / Jan |
| 22:50.18 | Discordian | I'm amused the local pub actually looks okay now |
| 22:52.18 | Discordian | i don't drive even if I did I'd never do that for work |
| 23:01.32 | z00dax | thats what I would like to be able to do as well |
| 23:01.34 | z00dax | not drive to work |
| 23:02.34 | Discordian | that must be almost 180 round the m25 |
| 23:03.21 | z00dax | if not more |

| 23:03.57 | Discordian | The m25 can be a car park |
