| 09:15.40 | Nafallo | hola |
| 09:27.33 | ChoHag | boudiccas: Well actually... |
| 09:30.01 | bilarh | boudiccas: i'd like to disagree |
| 09:35.23 | ChoHag | I don't know whether to be amused or worried that this is not SOP, but is being considered (!) only after a firewall failure: |
| 09:35.33 | ChoHag | "Apart from emergencies, implement a change freeze on the firewall configs until after peak trading." |
| 09:36.10 | ChoHag | And only because a side-effect of config changes is that it leaves zombies lying around and quickly runs out of PIDs. |
| 09:37.39 | wethrin | hm |
| 09:41.32 | hali | morning punters |
| 09:41.52 | wethrin | PUNT |
| 09:52.04 | ChoHag | Amusing. I've been here a month and new they want be to do a criminal records check. |
| 09:53.54 | hali | we do them when we hire people |
| 09:54.03 | hali | full background check |
| 09:54.33 | ChoHag | Yeah but not after. |
| 09:54.37 | hali | well they call it that, it doesn't cover much really, criminal record, credit check and anything that could make us vulnerable to blackmail |
| 10:05.10 | bilarh | background checks are a pain in the arse sometimes |
| 10:05.17 | bilarh | one of the companies i worked for has gone bust |
| 10:05.21 | bilarh | so there's no hr to verify |
| 10:05.43 | bilarh | which means that for this last one i had to find my old payslips and another kind of record to prove i actually worked for them |
| 10:07.14 | bilarh | incidentally, today is my last day :D |
| 10:07.28 | wethrin | why're you still at work, then? |
| 10:07.33 | wethrin | what's your new job, and when do you start? |
| 10:07.36 | ChoHag | Lucky you. |
| 10:07.41 | ChoHag | I don't think mine's a long way off. |
| 10:07.53 | wethrin | ChoHag: Stop taking shit jobs |
| 10:08.09 | bilarh | wethrin: start in a weeks time |
| 10:08.20 | bilarh | wethrin: unix admin for a hedge fund :) |
| 10:08.28 | wethrin | What sort of hedge? |
| 10:08.30 | wethrin | Laurel? |
| 10:08.34 | wethrin | I think we should be told! |
| 10:08.44 | bilarh | pine |
| 10:08.52 | bilarh | or is that not a hedging plant |
| 10:08.53 | bilarh | hrm |
| 10:09.01 | wethrin | no. pine is a tree |
| 10:09.06 | wethrin | it is also not elm |
| 10:10.31 | morsing | Beer |
| 10:10.45 | bilarh | i'm really worried actually :S |
| 10:10.47 | Leeds | ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare this weekend OPEN! |
| 10:10.48 | bilarh | way out of my comfort zone |
| 10:10.49 | ChoHag | If I work for another week I can pay myself for the rest of the year, so I'll need a new job in January when everybody is shedding bugdets onto contractors. |
| 10:10.52 | ChoHag | Works out well I think. |
| 10:11.00 | morsing | wethrin: There's not definite difference between bushes and trees |
| 10:12.55 | wethrin | morsing: You know when you see them, though |
| 10:13.28 | wethrin | "A shrub or bush is distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and lower height..." |
| 10:13.50 | ChoHag | If my neighbours are anything to go by, bushes are what grow over the (whole) pavement so you've no space to walk. |
| 10:18.20 | hali | bilarh: be good for you to do some real work again |
| 10:18.31 | wethrin | hali: Ha. He'll probably just spend his time on IRC anyway |
| 10:18.32 | hali | financial services is pretty demanding too |
| 10:20.04 | hali | by the book, consistent, not much room for pikey DIY projects, worst type of users (who literally loose money if you accidently restart jboss on the wrong server) |
| 10:20.35 | hali | probably have to deal with Radianz, always a nightmare |
| 10:20.40 | hali | etc :) |
| 10:21.24 | ChoHag | Part of the instructions to add a new server to the web host pool are to update the local copy of the centos repositories. |
| 10:22.17 | ChoHag | It would be crazy to have all nodes in a pool use the same versions of packages. |
| 10:28.52 | morsing | wethrin: Not really - there are un-defined overlaps |
| 10:29.06 | morsing | wethrin: There are single stemmed bushes |
| 10:29.07 | wethrin | the line is blurred |
| 10:29.16 | bilarh | hali: yeah don't know how i'll cope :) |
| 10:29.24 | wethrin | morsing: yeah, but they tend to be fairly low |
| 10:31.14 | hali | spends friday morning watching 4k intros |
| 10:31.24 | wethrin | that's a lot of intros |
| 10:31.47 | hali | http://vimeo.com/13182991 ... thats 64k though... not as cool |
| 10:32.16 | hali | http://vimeo.com/15138486 is well impressive on 4k |
| 10:34.22 | bilarh | that is pretty good actually |
| 10:36.37 | hali | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKE-Es3r2g |
| 10:39.03 | hali | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDrqBYkco-Y&feature=related |
| 10:43.16 | hali | bilarh: remmber fairlight? :) |
| 11:00.08 | ChoHag | What books should I buy? |
| 11:09.15 | bilarh | hali: yes :D |
| 11:10.52 | wethrin | ChoHag: How to insult and insinuate in classical latin |
| 11:11.14 | hali | bilarh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vImo9qXjIk&feature=related reformed and new release from Fairlight |
| 11:12.33 | hali | ChoHag: "MPLS Configuration on Cisco IOS" from Cisco Press is quite exciting, lots of action but they don't really define the characters well enough, not like in Harry Potter |
| 11:17.31 | morsing | Who makes good quality, proper plasma globes? |
| 11:20.32 | ChoHag | Well I have discovered how to find which table in postgres contains which column. |
| 11:21.01 | ChoHag | Only to discover that I didn't need to because the field I'm looking for is on the filesystem we-dont-get-databases database. |
| 11:21.50 | ChoHag | Incidentally schemata in postgres are pretty cool. |
| 11:28.45 | ChoHag | What's it called when you make a bad decision and in order to compensate for not having what making a good decision would have given you, you have to make another bad decision? |
| 11:29.18 | wethrin | muppetry? |
| 11:29.31 | ChoHag | Yeah that's probably it. |
| 11:30.22 | ChoHag | $JOB decided to store product details in tab-delimited files on the hard drive. |
| 11:30.36 | wethrin | Databases are hard? |
| 11:30.40 | wethrin | as are CSVs? |
| 11:30.49 | ChoHag | But that's really expensive to search, so they created index files which 'are perl data-structures which are persisted as such to disk'. |
| 11:31.06 | wethrin | waaaaa |
| 11:31.13 | ChoHag | But those need to be updated whenever a product is changed. |
| 11:32.17 | wethrin | don't change products :) |
| 11:32.56 | ChoHag | They are finally considering using mongodb. |
| 11:33.08 | ChoHag | Note that they *also* have a postgres cluster *and* a mysql cluster. |
| 12:08.30 | bilarh | i'm off to the pub |
| 12:08.33 | bilarh | lu8rs folks |
| 12:08.49 | ChoHag | Early finish. |
