| 09:08.11 | bilarh | arrive at work, two hours late |

| 09:08.21 | mindbendr | sounds bad |
| 09:08.28 | mindbendr | not a good way to start to a new week |
| 09:08.55 | bilarh | no, that's what i thought too |
| 09:08.58 | wethrin | Flat battery is easy to take care of - just push-start the car, and once you're running it'll charge up |
| 09:09.06 | bilarh | ah yeah |
| 09:09.07 | bilarh | we tried that |
| 09:09.09 | wethrin | Unless you have one of those silly automatics |
| 09:09.10 | Blapto | wethrin: depends why it went flat to start with |
| 09:09.11 | bilarh | at 4:30 |
| 09:09.26 | bilarh | it almost worked, but not quite before we gave up |
| 09:09.40 | wethrin | Blapto: True, if your alternator's fucked, you're, well, screwed |
| 09:09.45 | bilarh | but my battery is proper fscked now, i think |
| 09:09.53 | bilarh | it wouldn't even start with a second helper battery attached |
| 09:10.01 | bilarh | i had to remove the old battery and stick the new one in before it would start |
| 09:10.14 | bilarh | does a dead battery act almost as a short? |
| 09:10.16 | bilarh | cut |
| 09:10.31 | wethrin | shouldn't do |
| 09:18.27 | bilarh | anyone know roughly how much i'm looking at for a new battery? |
| 09:18.49 | wethrin | £40 |
| 09:19.22 | wethrin | (roughly) |
| 09:19.22 | bilarh | i thought they had gone up loads with the commodities bubble? |
| 09:19.32 | wethrin | Cheaper if you find a car scrapyard and sweet-talk them into getting one from a to-be-scrapped car |
| 09:19.41 | bilarh | that's what i was planning actually |
| 09:19.43 | wethrin | Possibly. I don't tend to keep track of prices :) |
| 09:21.20 | bilarh | waaah |
| 09:21.25 | bilarh | halfords want 90 quid |
| 09:21.34 | bilarh | or 100 for the calcium one |

| 16:16.09 | mindbendr | antiphase: opsview devs are saying that it's got issues with centos5.x because of perl |
| 16:16.19 | mindbendr | or rhel |
| 16:16.31 | mindbendr | it's going to be fixed by 5.3 as they say |
| 16:17.04 | mindbendr | said there's a massive speed issue and needs a non borked perl installation to use it |
| 16:19.17 | mindbendr | have you had any issues on rhel based distro? |
| 16:19.24 | antiphase | That's because the dumb fucks at Red Hat decided they were going to patch Perl and completely hosed it |
| 16:19.31 | mindbendr | lol |
| 16:19.56 | antiphase | There's supposedly a hotfix for it but only for supported customers at present |
| 16:20.05 | antiphase | Otherwise compile it yourself |
| 16:20.13 | mindbendr | uh i would love to. |
| 16:20.39 | mindbendr | but i work as a contractor and i'll leave in a month so the other linux admin is not capable of doing that kinda things |
| 16:20.45 | mindbendr | so they stick to yum updates |
| 16:33.52 | z00dax | mindbendr: are you using rhel or centos-5 ? |
| 16:34.55 | z00dax | mindbendr: do this : wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo; yum --enablerepo=c5-testing update perl |
| 16:35.05 | z00dax | then run the same speed test of yours |
| 16:39.03 | mindbendr | centos |
| 16:39.34 | mindbendr | is that the hotfix increasing the speed like 2 times instead of the actual speed |
| 16:40.08 | mindbendr | i'm just reading a few blogs about it and ppl say that the fix has got only %50 effect compared to the self compiled one |
| 16:41.31 | z00dax | the best thing about open source, is that you can try things out yourself and dont need to trust what the lunatics are bloging about |
| 16:41.42 | mindbendr | lol |
| 16:41.43 | z00dax | imho, 80% of all bloggers are unqualified to make the statements they make. |
| 16:41.48 | mindbendr | that's true but it's time consuming |
| 16:42.00 | mindbendr | it's better to use slackware it seems. |
| 16:42.14 | z00dax | of the other 20% - 5% are right, 45% wrong, and the balance 50% dont give you the complete picture |
| 16:42.36 | mindbendr | lol i was just laughing to the ppl shitting on rhel devs |
| 16:42.44 | mindbendr | the blogs are fun. |

| 16:47.42 | mindbendr | checks the other blogs.. |
| 16:47.53 | z00dax | he is also a half decent coder, but he does like to make much noise and blow himself up much more than he deserves |
| 16:47.57 | mindbendr | The grand unified theory of the universe is a search for elegance. Mastering the art of winning a combinatorial game is a search for elegance |
| 16:48.02 | mindbendr | it goes like that and like that ... |

| 16:49.51 | z00dax | right, those patches are what i rolled out in the hotfix. however, they dont really cover all the issues |

| 17:47.53 | kraptv | I had been under the impression that Guy was toast. |
| 17:48.06 | kraptv | Madonna had turned him to ripe shite baking in the sun. |
| 17:48.18 | kraptv | guess not, with the rumors of the split up and what not |
| 17:50.54 | kraptv | escapes out of the office only to encounter more work at home! |

| 21:37.23 | ChoHag | Greylisting seems to have become ineffective all of a sudden. |
| 21:37.33 | ChoHag | Or the rate of spam has just increased. |
| 21:52.52 | z00dax | hali: sfd2008 is on the 20th Sept |
| 21:53.02 | z00dax | just thinking if we should have drinks then instead of the 3rd ? |
| 21:53.24 | z00dax | ChoHag: do you know, really really know what greylisting is doing to one of my mail servers ? |
| 21:53.43 | hali | whats sfd2008? |
| 21:53.50 | hali | some wonky socialist event again? :) |
| 21:53.52 | hali | like fosdem |
| 21:54.57 | hali | free software day, what does it involve? |
| 21:55.03 | hali | except the obvious drinking |
| 21:57.56 | wethrin | sfd doesn't tend to involve the obvious drinking |
| 21:59.31 | DiscordianUK | breakfast and handing out leaflets# |
| 22:00.31 | hali | oh dear |
| 22:15.13 | z00dax | personally, Id stick to the drinking. |
| 22:15.43 | z00dax | also, since its a Saturday, it means can drink more :D |
| 22:15.55 | DiscordianUK | haha |
| 22:17.32 | DiscordianUK | i can't say i'd want to leaflet people |
| 22:17.49 | DiscordianUK | it seems pointless |
| 22:18.02 | z00dax | I dont think free / open source software is obscure enough an entity to merit such stuff |
| 22:18.34 | z00dax | its in your face all the time anyway, and plenty of mass media coverage is there to be had |
| 22:18.40 | DiscordianUK | i use linux ad other |
| 22:18.46 | DiscordianUK | and |
| 22:19.13 | DiscordianUK | other foss stuff because it works for me |
| 22:19.24 | wethrin | Aye |
| 22:19.28 | z00dax | http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6056499915319877760 |
| 22:19.29 | z00dax | wtf |
| 22:19.40 | DiscordianUK | and i find windows counter-intuitive |
| 22:19.51 | wethrin | what WM do you use? |
| 22:20.00 | DiscordianUK | gnome |
| 22:20.01 | wethrin | assumes not GNOME or KDE, then |
| 22:20.02 | wethrin | Oh |
| 22:20.41 | DiscordianUK | i do lots of stuff in a terminal |
| 22:21.40 | DiscordianUK | i use CDE on solaris |
| 22:22.13 | wethrin | never got on with CDE |
| 22:22.52 | wethrin | but then, I appear to have been affected by the Jobs Reality Distortion Field - I like Afterstep/Windowmaker |
| 22:23.02 | DiscordianUK | i use window managers for graphical stuff |
| 22:23.12 | wethrin | like running multiple xterms? :) |
| 22:23.25 | DiscordianUK | err no |
| 22:23.35 | DiscordianUK | I like tabbed xterms |
| 22:24.42 | DiscordianUK | i have seperate workspaces for irc, firefox, xterms etc |
| 22:25.53 | DiscordianUK | all maximised full screen cos my vision isn't very good |
| 22:26.57 | DiscordianUK | and xmms or kaffeine depending whether i'm listening to music or watching telly |

| 22:40.01 | DiscordianUK | i've probably still got a copy of windows v1.0 somewhere |
| 22:40.05 | z00dax | no, just on a bad trip |
| 22:40.26 | DiscordianUK | it was exceedingly naff |
| 22:40.51 | DiscordianUK | though the api was a tad easier than gem's api |
