00:00.32wethrinExcellent
00:00.32wethrinI'm going to be in Telehouse Monday afternoon
00:00.33rhoweGeorge: Does 'nums' mean anything to you?
00:00.52GeorgeI believe that's her name
00:00.57rhowehmm
00:01.12wethrinSo I can probably pass by your work afterwards
00:01.20rhoweThat would make it a relatively sane answer to the question 'So who are you?' then :P
00:01.24Georgerhowe: what's happening?
00:01.26rhowewethrin: OK
00:01.30wethrinEeexcelllent
00:01.35rhoweGeorge: It signed out
00:01.51wethrinYou're a scary person, rhowe :)
00:01.56Georgerhowe: hah
00:01.58rhoweI know =)
00:02.29wethrinrhowe: Have you ever racked a Sun Netra server?
00:02.42rhowewethrin: Never even seen one
00:02.53wethrinBah
00:02.56Leedszzzzz....
00:03.01Georgenite Leeds
00:03.01wethrinLeeds: Have you? :)
00:03.04wethrinnn Leeds
00:03.07Leedswethrin: yes
00:03.07rhowe'night Leeds
00:03.09wethrinExcellent
00:03.18wethrinCould I ask a quick question before you sleep? :)
00:03.21Leedsuh... no
00:03.23wethrinDamn
00:03.25Georgerhowe: so she just left? how rude of her. :P
00:03.30Leedsseen one, not racked one
00:03.36wethrinAhh right
00:03.45wethrinWas wondering if just using the ears would be sufficient
00:03.49rhoweGeorge: Yeah
00:03.51Leedsno idea
00:03.55wethrinFair enough
00:03.57Georgerhowe: what did you say? :P
00:04.08rhoweGeorge: I'll take her to task on it if I ever see her online again
00:04.25Georgeparse error
00:04.25GeorgeWTF
00:04.27wethrinrhowe: We demand a transcript!
00:04.40rhowewethrin: Effort :P
00:04.52rhoweGeorge: I'll bitch at her about it tomorrow
00:04.55Georgedo you want the msn of a sex-obsessed boy who was with her in the groupchat when I spammed with C++?
00:04.59wethrinCopy+paste
00:05.53George<PROTECTED>
00:05.54Georgehrmm.
00:05.58wethrinHeheheheh
00:05.58Leedsnight all...
00:06.02wethrinnn
00:06.05Georgenite Leeds
00:06.08Georgedon't break the bed
00:06.23George<PROTECTED>
00:06.27GeorgeI'd just turned 14 :D
00:06.36wethrinYoung'un
00:06.45Georgeheh
00:06.56Georgewell, I'd turned 14 about 4 months before hand
00:07.06Georgeand as that's less than half a year, that's "just"
00:07.12wethrinmm
00:07.30wethrinWell, it's a short time compared to compiling a Gentoo system
00:07.35Georgehrmm
00:08.25GeorgeI ought to read this book on symbolics
00:08.31Georgelast time I tried I hit the second page and gave up
00:11.37GeorgeHostname: carbon - OS: Linux 2.6.11.5/x86_64 - CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ (2202.833 MHz) - Processes: 97 - Uptime: 5h 22m - Load Average: 0.72 - Memory Usage: 169.61mb/1001.22mb (16.94%) - Disk Usage: 516.47gb/2000.28gb (25.82%)
00:11.41George:D
00:11.54wethrin2000GB?
00:12.00Georgeyeah
00:12.07wethrin2TB?
00:12.11Georgeyeah
00:12.12wethrinThat's excessive
00:12.14Georgenah
00:12.23wethrinSpread across how many disks, and what configuration?
00:12.29George11 disks
00:12.34Georgea 120GB boot disk
00:12.35wethrinThat's excessive :)
00:12.38Georgea 200GB scratch disk
00:12.43George4x200GB RAID5
00:12.47George5x300GB RAID5
00:12.59Georgeand an external 80GB 2.5" disk
00:13.29wethrinFair enough
00:13.29Georgeit's a cute little system
00:13.35wethrinYou have too much money
00:13.42Georgehttp://www.gwright.org.uk/images/pictures/Desktop/pict0801.jpg
00:13.43Georgelol
00:13.45GeorgeI do?
00:14.10GeorgeI thought I had too little
00:14.18wethrinMaybe you do now :)
00:14.30George:P
00:14.53Georgewell, disk space is one of those things you can never have too much of
00:15.04Georgethe next step is to get a dual opteron 252
00:15.26edwardwhy " an external 80GB 2.5" disk"?
00:15.44Georgeedward: because that got the output to break 2000GB.
00:16.07wethrinYou should be breaking 2048, really
00:16.12Georgehrmmph
00:16.28wethrinI can dig out a 100MB drive for you if you want :)
00:16.35Georgeblah
00:16.40GeorgeI have a 200GB sitting somewhere
00:16.45Georgebut I've run out of IDE controllers
00:16.49Georgeand molex power connectors
00:17.03wethrinThat's easy - you can get splitters
00:17.09Georgehttp://www.gwright.org.uk/images/pictures/Desktop/pict0802.jpg
00:17.13Georgeas you can see in that picture
00:17.19Georgewethrin: not at 1:12am you bloody can't.
00:17.22wethrinHead down to the computer fairs on Saturday - I picked up a 4-extension
00:17.34Georgeheh
00:17.43Georgethe ones in TCR?
00:17.47wethrinyeah
00:17.55Georgeheh
00:18.03Georgewell, I don't need one
00:18.06GeorgeI have enough disk space for now
00:18.09George1.5TB is just about enough
00:18.20edwardwhat date?
00:18.27edwards/date/data/ ?
00:18.34Georgenot saying

00:18.50wethrinNo-one ever reads the logs
00:18.53Georgehah
00:19.01Georgewell, I should think it's pretty obvious
00:19.04Georgerhowe: oooh
00:19.08Georgerhowe: annoy annoy annoy
00:19.20rhoweahahaha
00:19.24rhowe'asl?'
00:19.38edwardyou need that much space to store #gllug logs? :-)
00:20.01Georgerhowe: did you write that or did she?
00:20.05Georgeedward: yeah :P
00:20.15rhowe'old enough/wtf do you think? I'm called Russell FFS/London'
00:20.22rhoweme :P
00:20.25GeorgeROFL
00:20.39wethrinedward: We're a chatty bunch
00:20.46rhowehahahaha she said 'me and olly are lesbien(sic) lovers who have run away from china'
00:20.51rhoweSo I replied in Cantonese :P
00:20.51wethrin:)
00:21.05rhowe(she started an MSN chat with me, her and someone called 'olly_keal'
00:21.05Georgeoddness.
00:21.19Georgerhowe: yeah, olly_keal is the gay one
00:21.26rhoweI basically said 'are you dirty-minded?' in Cantonese
00:21.34Georgehrmm. my right hand monitor isn't working.
00:21.36Georgerhowe: heh
00:21.40Georgerhowe: I only understand mandarin
00:21.41wethrinGeorge: Turn it on
00:21.46Georgewethrin: oh shut up
00:21.56wethrinWell, don't, then, but it'll be your funeral
00:22.16Georgeheh
00:22.22Georgerhowe: she could well think you're me
00:22.34wethrinGeorge: Is your name Russell? :)
00:22.34rhoweGeorge: ahaha
00:22.39rhoweGeorge: We'll see if I get blocked
00:22.41Georgerhowe: when I brought on a KDE hacker into the group chat they seemed convinced he was me spawning on another account
00:22.57Georgewell, I use the word "hacker" in the loosest possible sense
00:23.02Georgehe's done less work than me
00:23.05Georgeand that's saying something
00:23.06George:D
00:23.06rhoweGeorge: My MSN nick is 'Russell'. My MSN id is rghowe@hotmail.com and if you search for 'Russell Howe' on Google, you get results
00:23.08wethrinHum. My phone battery capacity isn't what it used to be
00:23.14rhoweGeorge: Of course, that would require some intelligence...
00:23.17Georgerhowe: hehe
00:23.28wethrinrhowe: I'm apparently a famous baseball player
00:23.37rhowewethrin: Cool :)
00:23.56wethrinYes. Apparently I've been living a lie for the past few years
00:24.03Georgewethrin: erm, so am I
00:24.04rhowehmmm
00:24.08Georgewethrin: from the 19th century
00:24.08rhowe'Unable to send message'
00:24.12rhoweI wonder if I got blocked :P
00:24.13wethrinheh
00:25.08Georgeok
00:25.10Georgeon my desktop now
00:25.59Georgerhowe: any developments?
00:26.24rhoweGeorge: Yeah, silence
00:26.30Georgehaha
00:26.41Georgetranscript!
00:26.50Georgegod we must be REALLY bored
00:26.51George:)
00:27.12wethrinGah. Dear $openBSD portsmeister, please to be keeping ClamAV up-to-date. Love, Dan
00:27.40Georgeawww, wethrin fancies the OpenBSD ClamAV maintainer
00:27.54wethrin...
00:28.31Georgerhowe: so she blocked you?
00:28.38rhoweNope
00:28.50Georgeshe's probably masturbating then
00:28.58GeorgeI think that's what she does instead of breathing
00:29.07rhoweShe said she wants to know who told me about her, then we can chat
00:29.12rhoweSo I said 'I don't know him'
00:29.22Georgehaha, subtlety
00:29.28rhoweSo she asked me what your MSN ID was. I said 'I don't know him from MSN, so I don't know'
00:29.31rhowehehe
00:29.33rhoweShe's getting nowhere :P
00:30.10wethrinwouldn't George be something like 'studlykdemonkey@hotmail.com' ?
00:30.33rhoweAnd she keeps signing out, which doesn't help the conversation flow
00:31.33wethrinMmm. So quiet in here now
00:32.53Georgewethrin: I don't have @hotmail.com
00:33.01Georgerhowe: haha
00:33.15Georgerhowe: I'm demanding a full transcript :)
00:33.25Georgewethrin: it's actually msn@gwright.org.uk
00:33.29wethrinHow boring :)
00:33.33Georgeyeah :P
00:34.37Georgewethrin: stop eating them
00:34.59wethrinThis one I haven't
00:35.43Georgerhowe: so, is she pissed off yet?
00:38.46rhoweGeorge: She disconnected again
00:38.59rhoweGeorge: And hasn't signed back on yet
00:39.05Georgehaha
00:39.09Georgeshe might have blocked you
00:39.10rhoweGeorge: I can keep a woman intersted, don't you worry :P
00:39.22Georgenot if the woman thinks you're me
00:39.23George:P
00:39.27rhoweAlthough keeping and underage girl interested is something I don't care so much for :P
00:39.39GeorgeI think she might be around 18
00:39.48rhoweI'll find out
00:39.56Georgehaha
00:39.59Georgenutter :)
00:40.08wethrinrhowe: Underage is < 16, so you're probably going to be alright
00:40.15Georgerofl
00:40.29Georgewethrin has an intimate knowledge of the teenage sex laws.
00:40.53wethrinUm. That 16 is the legal age is common knowledge, not intimate knowledge
00:41.11wethrinAha. Found my Allen key
00:41.17wethrinIt was hiding on a book
00:41.53Georgehardly hiding :)
00:41.53wethrinAnyway. I sleep now. Night all

10:43.45wethrinhi jason
10:49.43eye69Three days ago somebody broke into my car and took the stereo.
10:50.16eye69Last night they were probably thinking "we need a car to go with that stereo", so they took the car too.
10:50.25mozratshit
10:50.28gregjbooo
10:50.29gregjbad
10:50.50wethrinShit :(
10:51.52eye69wethrin: Yeah, that's a good word for it.
10:52.12wethrinMm
10:53.33highburymy girl-friend (at the time) got her car broken into 3 times outside my flat, but they refused to steal the car :-(
10:54.30highburywe were told our bit of London had higher rates than anywhere else in the UK
10:54.37eye69highbury: Where I live I park at a great big well lit parking lot. At my gf's on the other hand I have no choice but to park in a badly lit, quite small street.
10:55.40highburysometimes steering locks provide a modicum of dis-incentive
10:59.56mozrathttp://www.iamfuckingterrified.com is quite amusing
11:08.14highburyf***ing spam!
11:12.03Leedseye69: sympathy :-(
11:13.15eye69Leeds: Thank you. :/
11:13.32LeedsI've never had a car nicked but I've had a couple of break-ins
11:13.47eye69nagual had a good idea of what to tell my gf...
11:13.48eye6911:03:15 <@nagual> 'honey, my car just got stolen, dont you think its time we did <insertperveersefantasyhere> now, to comfort me?'
11:13.59Leedsheh
11:15.30LeedsI drove a car for months with effectively no lock on the passenger door - someone had tried to get in, failed, but loosened the lock enough that it later fell out... no-one tried to nick it, but I did find friends had invited themselves for a lift by just getting in before I got there
11:16.18gregj:]
11:16.36wethrinheh
11:16.43eye69Mine had a broken driver door lock. You just had to turn the covering slot to open it.
11:17.11eye69That's a bit ironic considering they ruined the passenger door lock with a screw driver to nick the stereo.
11:17.12Leedsoops
11:23.22gregjdon't they just usually break side window for that ?
11:23.42eye69They can apparently use a varied approach.
11:25.51Leedsspice of life and all that
11:29.50mozratIs there no Win32 equivilent of rm -rf foldername/*
11:30.06eye69deltree ?
11:30.12mozratwhich leaves foldername where it is but deletes all subfiles and folders
11:30.22mozrateye69, I was going to say that , but not on XP apparently
11:30.23eye69Ahhh. Not that I know of.
11:30.51eye69Write a jscript for it or something.
11:31.03mozratthats what someone is asking me to do
11:31.08mozratwrite VB code to do it
11:31.12eye69Ok.
11:31.25mozratbut I'm surprised there is no builtin command
11:31.35eye69Are you really?
11:31.40mozratyes
11:31.54mozratI wonder if the W32 port of rm would do it
11:31.55mozrat:)
11:34.37mozratyep - rm from UnxUtils works as expected
11:34.38mozratnice
11:34.43eye69Neat.
11:44.22Leedswell, looks like Time/Tiny are about to go under... I got my first real PC from Time almost exactly 10 years ago...
11:44.42wethrinI thought Tiny almost went under a few years back anyway
11:45.27jason_ukfsnwethrin: yes but they got bought. Now the new company has died as well.
11:45.37wethrinAhh
11:45.41wethrinCan't compete with Hell?
11:45.54jason_ukfsnThey've laid off almost all staff, shut all shops, all non-execs have resigned the board.
11:46.03wethrinThat sucks
11:46.20Leedsand had administrators appointed AFAIK...
11:46.32jason_ukfsnhadn't heard that yet Leeds
11:46.34wethrinMm
11:47.02jason_ukfsnMy local tesco seems to have switched brands for their cheap PCs last year.
11:47.23Leedshmm... maybe it was "will be appointed"
11:47.32jason_ukfsnThey treat them like shit though - I actually photographed a member of staff stading on a box containing a TFT in order to put up a display!

11:56.10Leedsgregj: not so hot in London...
11:56.27jason_ukfsnthat's a long delay for the next one Leeds !

12:25.28zacharyshe should just go by Lita, and be done with it.
12:26.05jason_ukfsnLeeds: I'd have thought you would have had to abandon most filters now
12:26.26jason_ukfsneither that or start training them again

12:33.49zacharyWhat's up with your finance page on UKFSN?
12:34.49jason_ukfsnI've restructured things a bit and UKFSN is now a separate company. While I have all the up to date info for the current period I am still trying to get the DSL bills sorted out for the previous company.
12:35.13jason_ukfsnI am thinking of restarting the finance page for the new company and just having a link to the old data.

13:52.41jason_ukfsnCertainly the company knew it was going down and continues to trade.
13:53.22jason_ukfsnDoes anyone here have the misfortune to run WinXP?
13:56.24JAVafternoon
13:59.03zacharymurble, fess up! We know you are secret MS closet freak!
14:00.34zacharyjason_ukfsn what do you need with WinXP?
14:01.15murblejason_ukfsn: trading whilst insolvent?
14:05.33morsingzachary!
14:05.49morsingjason_ukfsn: Did you get my email?
14:06.49zacharyHey morsing! How are things?
14:07.44JAV34ºC here :P
14:08.01murble35 here.
14:08.25JAVouch
14:11.12morsingzachary: Good sort of
14:11.22morsing19 here
14:11.39zacharymurble we're supose to get about the same temp, but a heat index of around 46.
14:11.52morsingMmm... heat index
14:14.19zacharyCould have a bbq just by throwing the meat on the sidewalk.
14:16.53gregjit's 26 here, but nearly no wind, so you could probably do the same thing
14:29.44morsing<PROTECTED>
14:38.06murblezachary: is that like windchill factor? is it lack of wind factor?
14:39.07Leedssomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Porterhouse is north of the river, right?
14:39.57Leedsmaking Google Maps rather wrong on the question "how do I get there?"
14:42.47morsingLeeds: Yes it is
14:51.24pdrLeeds: it's on maiden lane, near bedford st, covent garden
14:51.33pdranyway, had enough of work for today, laterz
14:51.42Leedspdr: coming this evening?
14:51.52Leedsmaybe not...
14:52.10morsingLeeds: Am I not invited?
14:52.21Leedsmorsing: are you not on gllug-social?
14:52.25wethrinmorsing: You're on the Gllug Social list, are you not?
14:52.42morsingwetrin: Haven't got Internet at the moment
14:52.49morsingLeeds: Same
14:52.56wethrinmorsing: But you're online now
14:53.06morsingNot from my own line though
14:53.13morsingCan't read my emails then
14:53.19Leedswahay!
14:53.23morsingWhat?
14:53.23wethrinAhh
14:53.27morsingLeeds?
14:53.33morsingMmm... Bulldog
14:53.33wethrinmorsing: You going to be around on Friday?
14:53.48morsingwethrin: I'm not on my way out
14:54.25Leedsspoke to their sales people instead of customer service, because no-one else will answer the phone - she sent me a cancellation form (just a simple word doc) and put me through to finance... which rang for a couple of minutes, then timed-out
14:54.31wethrinmorsing: Excellent. Pub, then!
14:54.37Leedsmorsing: 1800-2000 or so at the Porterhouse
14:54.46morsingwethrin: In Aylesbury?
14:54.52morsingOk
14:55.10rhoweLeeds: I'll be travelling from the City, but shouldn't be too late I guess
14:55.13wethrinmorsing: No, London
14:55.41morsingMmm... London
14:55.42Leedsrhowe: thing is that I've had lots of late nights this week, and I've got lots of stuff to do in the next 28 hours or so before I leave... one of them may well *not* be sleeping...
14:55.54murbleLeeds: can you fax them?
14:55.54rhoweLeeds: Same here. I'm pretty shattered
14:56.01rhoweLeeds: Won't be out long. I also have a lack of cash :P
14:56.35Leedsmurble: cancelling isn't a problem - the problem is that I changed my cc number in January and they've not taken any payments from me since then - I would have thought they'd be happy to discuss at least that with me...
14:56.39mozratrhowe, Payday in 48 hours and counting :)
14:56.56wethrinmozrat: Excellent. That means you'll have money to spend on booze!
14:56.59rhowemozrat: Indeed. Birthday in 8 hours and counting :/
14:57.17wethrinrhowe: You were born at 3 minutes to midnight?
14:57.17Leedsmy birthday next week...
14:57.25rhowewethrin: No idea :)
14:57.59mozratwethrin: not so much tonight though
14:58.04mozratrhowe: congrats :)
14:58.20wethrinmozrat: I'm back in London on Friday. So I'll send a message to the Social list
14:58.40mozratwethrin:  how long for?
14:59.03wethrinAn entire week
15:01.45rhowemozrat: The disparity between birthday and payday is annoying :P
15:03.34mozratrhowe: I can imagine
15:04.03morsingIs it?
15:04.38zacharymurble humidity factor.
15:12.28morsingzachary: Is that how drunk murble is?
15:20.31zacharymosring, I think it would be how annoyed you could make him by disagreement.
15:29.06Leedsfucking arsing bulldog!
15:29.41iTronYou're upset. I can tell.
15:34.15LeedsiTron: I owe them money! I want to pay them money!  they won't answer the phone, except on their sales line!
15:35.03Leedsso I spoke to a salesman and gave him an ultimatum: I have tried harder than should be necessary to pay them.  If they want the money, they should call me in the next 24 hours, or email after that - I will no longer chase them to pay them
15:40.19Georgehrmm
15:44.45Leedsis it fair to put the following in the "why are you cancelling" part of the form?
15:44.48Leeds"I have no complaints whatsoever about the technical quality of your service, but trying to contact you over the past few days to discuss paying my outstanding bill and then cancelling my service has been such a frustrating experience that I no have no qualms in recommending that my friends/family/colleagues/customers avoid touching you with a very long barge pole."
15:46.00Leedss/no/now/ where appropriate
15:51.57iTronI see no problem with that. :)
16:07.23Leedsright, that's my ADSL cancelled
16:07.37morsingCONGRATULATIONS!
16:08.22GeorgeLeeds: you mean bulldog actually replied? :P
16:09.21LeedsGeorge: nope
16:09.57LeedsI gave up trying to contact their financial or customer service side and just 'got assertive' with sales people instead, on the basis that they actually answer the phone
16:10.48Leedsone of them sent me their cancellation form, another promised to forward a message to the finance people explaining that if they wanted their money, they'd have to call me because I'd had enough of calling them
16:14.27Leedsand now... to the pub
16:14.49GeorgeLeeds: best thing to do is to stop paying them
16:15.34Leedsthat's the whole point!  I've not paid them since last year!
16:16.00wethrinLeeds: Who should I tell that I plan to take hades out of Mailbox next week sometime?
