| 09:05.19 | wethrin | mornin' |
| 09:05.36 | Armand | wethrin! |
| 09:05.44 | wethrin | hi |
| 09:21.56 | ChoHag | is sitting around waiting for a job offer to come in. |
| 09:25.02 | ChoHag | Or not, as the case may be, which is the frustrating thing. |
| 09:29.39 | wethrin | that's annoying |
| 09:30.05 | ChoHag | Yes. Yes it is. |
| 09:43.05 | wethrin | So. My WAP appears to be unhealthy |
| 09:43.39 | Leeds | hmm, I seem to have KDE |
| 09:44.13 | wethrin | It's not letting connections into it at the moment. And, just in case it's the frequency that has interference - it doesn't allow me to actually change the channel |
| 09:44.16 | Leeds | also, 64-bitness, software 3D and no sound |
| 09:44.17 | Armand | Leeds: See a doctor... |
| 09:44.28 | wethrin | Sounds like linux! |
| 09:44.33 | Armand | Oh dear.. |
| 09:44.39 | Armand | gets the shotgun |
| 09:44.49 | Armand | drags Leeds off to the barn |
| 09:45.33 | Leeds | I had 32-bitness, accelerated 3D, GNOME and sound this morning... |
| 09:48.42 | Armand | Did someone "upgrade" you.. ? |
| 09:48.56 | Leeds | yeah... me |
| 09:49.00 | Armand | oops ? |
| 09:49.05 | wethrin | Are you running Slackware? :) |
| 09:57.17 | Leeds | of course! |
| 09:57.42 | Leeds | 13.0rc2 |
| 10:03.28 | *** join/#gllug stu_ (n=stu@129.31.247.9) |
| 10:06.54 | Armand | stu_! |
| 10:14.03 | Leeds | ah-ha, I found my sound... |
| 10:14.24 | Armand | You left it at home, didn't you... ¬_¬ |
| 10:15.24 | Leeds | it's actually due to *increased* hardware support... |
| 10:15.40 | Armand | ?_! |
| 10:16.10 | Leeds | this m/b has both on-board sound and HDMI audio... the older build didn't support the HDMI audio, the newer one does, and it's selecting it as the default output device |
| 10:16.53 | Armand | Ahhh |
| 10:17.07 | Armand | So, it was a winfail ? |
| 10:17.48 | Leeds | something like that, yes... of course, I can't *use* the HDMI audio, so I still need to find a way to disable it, but at least it's not an outright FAIL |
| 10:18.21 | Armand | BIOS options ? |
| 10:21.56 | Leeds | maybe, but I'm just going to blacklist the kernel module for now |
| 10:22.24 | Armand | That's probably better for now.. |
| 10:26.17 | z00dax | Leeds: HDMI audio ? I thought hdmi was dual video+audio |
| 10:26.29 | z00dax | and hdmi audio isnt quite as good as optical |
| 10:27.16 | Leeds | z00dax: I've got my monitor on the HDMI port using a HDMI->DVI adapter - I don't want to use it for audio, just video |
| 10:27.23 | Armand | Nah.. gimme an optical line + AC3/Dolby amp anyday. :D |
| 10:28.24 | z00dax | Leeds: ah, ok :) |
| 10:28.38 | Leeds | I've just got a 3.5mm analog audio line plugged into a cheap(ish) set of powered computer speakers |
| 10:29.07 | z00dax | I need a new monitor as well, need to replace the Mitsubishi 19" CRT. Its a fantastic monitor, but its just taking up too much space and I have an ultimatum from the wife |
| 10:29.34 | z00dax | cant quite afford the dell 24" for home, wonder how good the samsung lcd's are |
| 10:29.56 | Leeds | I bought a couple of (again cheapish) 19"-but-not-widescreen viewsonic screens a couple of years back - got one here and one at the office |
| 10:30.38 | z00dax | viewsonic is super expensive! ( was thinking of getting a 24" - that should keep me going for a while ) |
| 10:30.53 | hali | iiyama is good value |
| 10:31.03 | Leeds | anyway, time to reboot - or at least restart X - so I can unload this bloody HDMI module... |
| 10:31.18 | z00dax | hali: ack, will look |

| 12:35.17 | ChoHag | Da. Saw it on the boards already. |
| 12:35.22 | ChoHag | Actually had more information there. |
| 12:36.46 | dick_turpin | wethrin: Oi I had my eye on that, well the 'Managing' bit not sure about the rest my you I could always bluff then come here for help :-) |
| 12:40.13 | wethrin | heh, I don't want it. So you're safe from me :) |
| 12:41.51 | wethrin | I'm surprised it's not been savaged to bits |
| 12:41.53 | wethrin | yet |
| 12:42.57 | dick_turpin | Are they asking too much as usual |
| 12:43.47 | wethrin | no - he doesn't mention salary or location |
| 12:43.59 | hali | omg, flamewar to start asap |
| 12:44.10 | hali | can't we ditch those rules? |
| 12:44.21 | hali | just "reply off list if you are interested and want further details" |
| 12:45.04 | bilarh | yes |
| 12:45.16 | bilarh | fails to see what everyone gets worked up about |
| 12:45.20 | dick_turpin | Oh is that it? Burn the poster! Flog them with a cat-o-nine tails |
| 12:45.38 | wethrin | bilarh: Glluggers like whinging |
| 12:45.55 | wethrin | zomg! They want a sysadmin for less than ninety grand a month!!!1!!1!11 |
| 12:45.56 | dick_turpin | So do certain Swede's :-P |
| 12:46.19 | bilarh | wethrin: woudln't get out of bed for less, to be honest |
| 12:46.36 | wethrin | bilarh: no, but you're a lazy bastard |
| 12:47.20 | bilarh | yes :) |
| 12:47.22 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Ah you find it hard to get out of bed without a hoist :-P |
| 12:47.28 | bilarh | hehe |
| 12:57.06 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Ere you unpacked that PC yet? And is it any good? |
| 12:57.21 | bilarh | no still in a box :) |
| 12:57.26 | bilarh | i was thinking of opening it up yesterday |
| 12:58.18 | dick_turpin | bilarh: God you're rich, you're the only bloke I know can buy something and still not unpacked it, what 4 months? later |
| 12:58.32 | bilarh | yeah i just don't have the space at the moment |
| 12:58.34 | bilarh | or the inclination |
| 12:58.46 | bilarh | i might unpack it today, take a couple of snaps and stick it up on the bay |
| 12:58.48 | dick_turpin | Or the ability apparently |
| 12:59.09 | cpufreak | walrus |
| 12:59.35 | bilarh | i think i need new glasses |
| 12:59.40 | bilarh | i get massive head-aches in the afternoon now |
| 12:59.46 | bilarh | and i can feel my eyes straining |
| 13:00.19 | dick_turpin | Thats too much time in the loo looking at car mags |
| 13:00.29 | hali | stop staring at that blonde across the office |
| 13:01.01 | dick_turpin | You can have our new bleach blond if you like |
| 13:02.15 | bilarh | dick_turpin: no thanks |
| 13:02.42 | dick_turpin | Sheesh she's that good I cant even give her away :-( |
| 13:03.50 | dick_turpin | wethrin: OMG I have the fault call of the century for you |
| 13:04.34 | dick_turpin | "I'm trying to send to one of our customers but it keeps bouncing back" |
| 13:04.43 | dick_turpin | Whats the error message |
| 13:05.13 | dick_turpin | "It says they are away, but I need to get in touch with them" |
| 13:05.21 | bilarh | lol |
| 13:05.28 | dick_turpin | You having a laugh? It means they are on holiday |
| 13:05.40 | dick_turpin | "Oh? Does it?" |
| 13:06.05 | dick_turpin | "I'll phone and leave a message then" |
| 13:06.24 | dick_turpin | starts to cry profusely |

| 13:34.42 | ChoHag | For the second leg of the journey - "Train company: n/a" |
| 13:36.23 | ChoHag | Also why are there no trains between Waterloo and Kings X? |
| 13:37.04 | ChoHag | In fact, apparently no direct trains between most of the major London terminals. |
| 13:37.24 | bilarh | are you looking at a web site that doesn't use the tube? |
| 13:37.27 | bilarh | nationalrail, e.g. |
| 13:37.44 | ChoHag | No I'm looking at the tube map. |
| 13:38.08 | bilarh | ok |
| 13:38.30 | bilarh | in that case, it's because nobody built the tubes that way, then\ |
| 13:40.08 | wethrin | Waterloo to Kings X - Bakerloo, change to Victoria |
| 13:40.18 | wethrin | It'll just be a cross-platform change |
| 13:40.48 | ChoHag | The best thing in that case is apparently to change at Vauxhall instead. |
| 13:40.56 | wethrin | err, what? |
| 13:40.58 | wethrin | oh |
| 13:41.05 | wethrin | What? |
| 13:41.24 | ChoHag | Rather than going all the way to waterloo, get of at Vauxhall and get the blue line to kings X. |
| 13:41.26 | bilarh | what site are you looking at? |
| 13:41.36 | wethrin | 5ahh |
| 13:41.37 | wethrin | yes |
| 13:41.59 | ChoHag | Seems to me there might be a call for a shuttle-like service between the main London terminals. |
| 13:42.27 | wethrin | The circle line goes near most of them |
| 13:42.41 | ChoHag | Somewhat like the circle line, but with the speed of the waterloo & city. |
| 13:42.54 | ChoHag | ie. Not stopping every 30 yards. |
| 13:43.04 | antiphase | London was built on all the bits of ground where you want to put train tracks |
| 13:43.25 | antiphase | because most of it was there before trains were invented |
| 13:43.26 | ChoHag | This is a problem, yes. |
| 13:43.49 | antiphase | Although that hasn't stopped a load of stuff being demolished for Craprail |
| 13:50.11 | ChoHag | Wtf? All tube lines are one line, possibly with a few branches, except the new overground line which is a whole bunch of unconnected lines instead. |
| 13:50.16 | ChoHag | Whose great idea was that? |
| 13:54.09 | bilarh | gordon browns? |
| 13:54.28 | ChoHag | Well we all know he's a muppet. |
