| 14:12.13 | ChoHag | The windows installer has 2 buttons - upgrade and custom. |
| 14:12.31 | ChoHag | Guess which one installs afresh (on a system with one blank unpartitioned drive). |
| 14:14.37 | dick_turpin | morsing: What's it like wearing nipple clamps? |
| 14:48.58 | wethrin | dick_turpin: FOSDEM! |
| 15:01.04 | Leeds | dick_turpin: FOSDEM! |
| 15:18.47 | wethrin | Leeds: FOSDEM! |
| 15:21.31 | Leeds | wethrin: FOSDEM! |
| 15:23.14 | wethrin | YES! |
| 15:26.59 | Leeds | INDEED! |
| 15:38.15 | wethrin | HURRAH! |
| 15:39.13 | gregj | LIFE! |
| 15:40.44 | ChoHag | We are incapable of running graphite and have paid for the hosted version. |
| 15:41.08 | ChoHag | Also graphite is shit. |
| 15:44.25 | wethrin | TO LIFE! |
| 15:45.01 | wethrin | Could anyone be tempted by some Gllug pre-New-Year drinks? |
| 15:54.53 | morsing | dick_turpin: No idea |
| 16:13.15 | dick_turpin | Leeds: Still have £438.00 to go http://igg.me/p/267574/x/1696382 you'd have thought that rich bastard morsing would have stumped up some money given I'm the only one that talks to him? |
| 16:14.28 | Leeds | dick_turpin: where do you live, anyway? |
| 16:14.48 | dick_turpin | In England |
| 16:14.51 | dick_turpin | TaDa! |
| 16:15.02 | Leeds | that will cost you 120 quid to get to and from London... |
| 16:15.08 | dick_turpin | Near Wolverhampton |
| 16:16.33 | dick_turpin | TBH I personally think £700 is a tight budget. A couple of people have talked about rooms for £70 for three nights but I really don't fancy herpes and a frozen arse |
| 16:19.27 | Leeds | we're staying in a £110-a-night place, but that's only because my parents are coming to meet us and they want to stay somewhere nicer |
| 16:22.36 | wethrin | The Novotel St Catherine that I've often been staying in is around £50/night |
| 16:23.29 | dick_turpin | The official ones on the FOSDEM site said something like €250 for three nights |
| 16:24.57 | wethrin | yeah, they go for the ones right in the city centre |
| 16:25.04 | wethrin | St Catherine is about 10 minutes walk |
| 16:26.07 | dick_turpin | Ah, well if it comes off I'll have enough money to buy you a slush puppy then. :-) |
| 16:27.15 | Leeds | isn't it the Novotel Tour Noir and Ibis Ste. Catherine? |
| 16:27.35 | wethrin | Leeds: Yes, yes it is |
| 16:27.49 | Leeds | was looking at them - remembered staying in the Novotel a few years back |
| 16:28.52 | dick_turpin | But, but I was hoping to get an upgrade to a suite. |
| 16:29.38 | Leeds | if you're staying Friday/Saturday, the one we're in is about 90 quid a night - I get the impression Brussels generally isn't so busy at the weekend in winter, so Friday/Saturday nights are significantly cheaper than weekdays |
| 16:31.02 | Leeds | and that's a nice place a few minutes away from the Grand Place - nearer than the Tour Noir... |
| 16:31.26 | Leeds | anyway, it's the getting to Brussels which is more expensive |
| 16:35.36 | Leeds | dick_turpin: you know you can get a flight to Brussels from Birmingham for about £140? |
| 16:35.46 | dick_turpin | If I go I plan to arrive mid-day/afternoon Friday and travel back on the Monday |
| 16:36.17 | dick_turpin | Leeds: Well I thought that but someone said it was stopped? |
| 16:36.30 | Leeds | brussels airlines certainly seem to be listing it on their site |
| 16:36.39 | dick_turpin | Hmm? |
| 16:37.24 | Leeds | 137.77 including taxes and fees, leaving Brum at 1540 on Friday, landing 1750, returning at 1120 on Monday, landing 1130 |
| 16:37.35 | Leeds | er, landing 1140, because 10 minutes makes all the difference :) |
| 16:38.02 | Leeds | not sure if Brum is your nearest/most convenient airport |
| 16:40.48 | Leeds | I mainly mention it because my parents have decided to fly with them from Manchester rather than doing Leeds->London-Eurostar |
| 16:40.49 | dick_turpin | It is. I'm looking now. While I've never been on the Eurostar flying would be more convenient |
| 16:41.28 | Leeds | they also fly from Bristol, but it's more expensive and there's less choice of flights... |
| 16:42.07 | dick_turpin | I like the 12:10 from Brum lands 14:25 gives me time to find the hotel and get ready for the piss up |
| 16:42.31 | Leeds | according to wikipedia, it's "the largest airline based in Belgium", because I see that honour as being highly competed for :) |
| 16:45.01 | Leeds | dick_turpin: anyway, hope that helps |
| 16:45.12 | dick_turpin | Is that the same as "In the land of the blind the one eye man is king"? |
| 16:45.31 | dick_turpin | eyed |
| 16:45.32 | Leeds | Belgium isn't exactly a world hub of aviation :) |
| 16:46.39 | dick_turpin | Now am I right in thinking you have to get a bus from the airport? Me and buses have issues. I tend to get on the wrong one and end up on a fecking day trip! |
| 16:48.14 | Leeds | in Brussels? I've never been to the airport, always gone by train... |
| 16:48.43 | Leeds | there are apparently trains into town from the airport |
| 16:49.49 | dick_turpin | Oh well. It's all academic. As I say it depends what happens with the campaign but I have been clever in placing it in effect between two pay days. :-D |
| 17:19.25 | wethrin | I've been to Brussels airport once |
| 17:19.30 | wethrin | You can get train straight into town |
