21:09.44 | murb | JD: do you have an IP phone? |
21:10.28 | JD | murb: uni-direction uses standard pone line and I would assume that you kinda need the phone call to be at the same place as the headend |

21:19.17 | Leeds | ah! |
21:19.33 | CapTVK | Hi leeds |
21:19.40 | Leeds | evening Cap |
21:20.17 | Leeds | how's things? |
21:20.20 | CapTVK | Do you guys always have meetings at westmister uni? |
21:20.32 | Leeds | at the moment, yeah |
21:20.51 | Leeds | we've moved around over the years - had 4 regular meeting places in the 4 years I've been going |
21:21.08 | CapTVK | I've been very busy at my end, now that i have some time i'm trying to concentrate on Freeciv-FUADEC 2 again |
21:21.13 | Leeds | sure |
21:22.06 | CapTVK | So when is the enxt meeting planned after june? |
21:22.17 | JD | July? |
21:22.43 | Leeds | no formal fixed date yet |
21:22.44 | JD | I would imagine around middle of July |
21:22.48 | CapTVK | So you guys do a meeting every month? |
21:23.04 | Leeds | every 4-5 weeks or so at the moment - again, nothing formally fixed |
21:23.08 | JD | hopefully :) |
21:23.16 | Leeds | JD: for fun? work? junket? :-) |
21:23.20 | JD | debcamp and adebconf 3 |
21:23.25 | skugg | what do you have in mind for the next meeting? |
21:23.33 | skugg | any talks planned yet? |
21:24.03 | *** mode/#gllug [+o dankolb] by ChanServ |
21:24.08 | Leeds | skugg: hoping to get whats-her-name from Redhat who pulled out to come to the next full meet |
21:24.18 | skugg | Leeds, Lene Jensen? |
21:24.22 | Leeds | yup, that's her |
21:24.28 | CapTVK | I've been trying to come up with a date for FUADEC, it's probably going to be in august (not set in stone). So if it could coincide with GLUGG...:) |
21:24.41 | *** topic/#gllug by dankolb -> GLLUG - Greater London Linux User Group, http://gllug.org.uk [Next Meeting: 21 June - Installfest], Check out IRC FAQ at http://www.gllug.org.uk/irc.html |
21:24.44 | *** mode/#gllug [-o dankolb] by dankolb |
21:24.57 | Leeds | we have a very not set date of 2nd August... but that's not going to happen |
21:25.03 | Leeds | clashes with UKUUG conference |
21:25.11 | Leeds | which is frankly dumb |
21:25.24 | CapTVK | And UKUUG is? |
21:25.29 | Leeds | sorry |
21:25.46 | skugg | Leeds, would a talk on the arch revision control system be suitable? I'm not giving one, but maybe andrew suffield will... |
21:25.49 | JD | United Kingdom Unix Users Group |
21:25.59 | Leeds | the UK Unix Users Group - holds a national Linux developers' (and users' this year) conference every summer somewhere in the UK |
21:26.09 | CapTVK | Ah. |
21:26.14 | Leeds | skugg: sure - I'd like that :-) |
21:26.45 | Leeds | the point is that a significant part of GLLUG is likely to be in Edinborough (sp?) that weekend |
21:28.24 | CapTVK | Understandable that a meeting that month would be shaky then, next month (sept) things are back to normal |
21:28.41 | Leeds | CapTVK: it's worth noting that we, approximately, alternate between installfest/beginner meetings and more formal meetings - June is installfest |
21:29.43 | Leeds | I think I'd probably go for moving the July meeting to later in the month, not having anything in August (UKUUG and summer holidays) and then having the next meeting in Sep. |
21:31.26 | Jenson | Good idea Leeds |
21:31.45 | Leeds | in the old days, we never met during the summer... because GND got too hot :-) |
21:32.08 | Leeds | the vary old days... |
21:32.35 | CapTVK | Well FUADEC is intended to be a bit formal so that would july or sept. July is a bit early (but not impossible), sept would be best. |
21:36.55 | CapTVK | Gotta go, g'night folks |
21:36.58 | *** part/#gllug CapTVK (CapTVK@xs195-241-200-141.dial.tiscali.nl) |
21:41.21 | Jenson | Time for bed |
21:41.23 | Jenson | Night guys |
21:41.25 | Jenson | cya |
21:48.51 | Leeds | you know, it's amazing... how do I remember that you need to paint the kumquats red to get George Washington to cut down the tree? |
21:50.30 | dankolb | Day of the Tentacle |
21:52.16 | Leeds | indeed |

22:10.13 | dankolb | Hiding bodies? |

22:12.55 | dankolb | You didn't say |
22:13.00 | JD | we are talking about DOTT again |
22:13.04 | Leeds | implication :-) |
22:13.11 | dankolb | Yes, it is used for freezing Ed's hamster |
22:13.17 | Leeds | I generally don't forget what to use the freezer for in real life :-) |
22:13.19 | dankolb | Do you have the talkie version? |
22:13.27 | Leeds | yeah |

22:13.30 | dankolb | Good :) |
22:13.35 | Leeds | at least... it's talking to me |
22:13.42 | Leeds | JD: probably not with scummvm, I think |
22:13.53 | JD | Leeds: it should work |
22:15.03 | JD | it should considering SCUMM is Script Creation Utiltiy for Maniac Manion :) |
22:15.57 | JD | cool /me recalls beneath a steel sky too |
22:16.12 | Leeds | Maniac Mansion 2 maniac 10% |

23:47.59 | pdr | tin foil hats? |
23:48.49 | Leeds | to protect him from the orbiting mind control laser sats |
23:51.54 | Xiaoqi | hehe |
23:51.58 | JD | everyone like to attack the leader |
23:52.23 | Leeds | sure - and that's healthy... |
23:53.37 | Leeds | otherwise you get Linux/Unix companies fighting amongst themselves, while Microsoft takes over the world... oh, wait... |
23:55.14 | Xiaoqi | the time is ripe for a rebellion... kill the evil opressors! |
23:56.34 | Leeds | thing is that, yeah, there are grumbles... but Google seems to have got where they are without selling out - without becoming evil... remember what happened to Altavista? |
23:59.00 | JD | got brought by overture |
