08:28.41 | mozrat | Do you know if he lost his leg above or below the knee? |

09:20.53 | z00dax | the wifi performance isnt the best though - need to stay relatively close to the base AP |
09:59.02 | mozrat | z00dax: what is the voice quality like? |

10:06.02 | z00dax | sure, its yours! |
10:06.26 | z00dax | voice is ok, I am using it with a remote voip setup in singapore - so i presume some of the issues are latency related. |

14:23.08 | Leeds | morsing: given that nobody except z00dax had a preference, it's the 19th |

15:02.51 | popey | i am running gobby 0.4.1 |
15:02.52 | mozrat | popey: I have a obby server |
15:02.58 | popey | ahh, what version |
15:03.02 | mozrat | one sec |
15:03.53 | morsing | Leeds: But on what and do I need to move emails around? |
15:04.02 | morsing | And is it global or local learning? |
15:04.08 | popey | can't you orun it against your bad mail? |
15:04.34 | morsing | Well, how? Do I need to move mail to a folder first? |
15:05.18 | mozrat | 0.3.0-3 |
15:05.23 | popey | mozrat: should be okay |
15:05.32 | popey | morsing: http://www.faisal.com/docs/salearn.html |
15:05.53 | popey | #3 hit on google for sa-learn |
15:06.07 | mozrat | popey: server: beerandspeech.org |
15:06.10 | popey | mozrat: is it available now? can I join and brain dump through the day |
15:06.11 | popey | ahh |
15:06.13 | mozrat | password: gllug-sfd |
15:06.27 | mozrat | Yep - running now |
15:06.36 | popey | :( protocol version mismatch |
15:06.53 | popey | I'll see if I can downgrade |
15:07.54 | popey | aha! |
15:07.54 | mozrat | nuts |
15:08.07 | popey | i probably can |
15:08.13 | mozrat | I can connect with 0.3.0 client |
15:08.30 | popey | it's because I have phil kerns sources entry |
15:08.42 | Leeds | morsing: spam in one folder, ham in another: "sa-learn -mbox -spam spam-folder ; sa-learn -mbox -ham ma-folder" |
15:09.06 | Leeds | sorry, they should be -- not - |
15:09.15 | mozrat | popey: I can upgrade if you like |
15:09.26 | popey | heh |
15:09.31 | popey | let me see if i can downgrade first |
15:09.32 | popey | one mo |
15:09.53 | popey | installing 0.3.0 now |
15:10.01 | Leeds | morsing: note that if you're doing it properly, you *do* need to train on both spam and ham |
15:10.33 | mozrat | popey, before you get started I'm going to kill the server and start it again inside screen |
15:10.36 | mozrat | one sec |
15:10.37 | popey | mozrat: what port number? |
15:10.38 | popey | ok |

15:11.53 | mozrat | ok - it's up |

15:12.47 | popey | I'm in |
15:19.11 | morsing | Is there any way I can follow progress? |
15:19.31 | morsing | I'm leaving in 5 min. What happens if I ctrl-C it? |
15:19.52 | popey | run it in a screen? |
15:20.35 | morsing | popey: OH it is actually :) Thanks |
15:20.42 | popey | :) |
15:20.49 | z00dax | strace the process, that will give you a very good idea of whats going on |
15:20.50 | z00dax | :) |
15:21.18 | morsing | z00dax: And make it quicker? |
15:22.43 | z00dax | on a half decent machine sa-learn is io bound, stop other io tasks, should / might help |
15:22.45 | morsing | On mine it's 100% CPU bound... |
15:23.01 | morsing | I/O wait is a constant 0 and CPU a constant 100 |
15:23.11 | z00dax | pentium-2 ? |
15:23.58 | morsing | III |
15:24.07 | morsing | 1.1GHz |
15:24.45 | z00dax | p-3 should churn fairly quick... wont take too long, imho |
15:24.57 | Leeds | morsing: did you actually read the man page? |
15:25.29 | Leeds | there are at least two different ways to get it to show progress |

16:06.11 | LeedsHK | mozrat: do you not read the list? |
16:06.20 | CliveHills | I've a WRT54GS v1.0 running openwrt |
16:06.25 | z00dax | LeedsHK: is that G450 a pci interface ? |
16:06.31 | mozrat | LeedsHK: I think my stupid employer drops some GLLUG email |
16:07.02 | mozrat | and I haven't been reading gmail that much |
16:09.31 | LeedsHK | okay, two points: firstly, I'm not bringing the lot with me to gllug - particularly, I'd prefer not to schlep the xbox, since it weighs a ton |
16:10.06 | mozrat | heh |
16:10.11 | LeedsHK | secondly, uh, nobody seems to have paid any attention to the "some of this stuff may actually be worth something - if so, please make me an offer" bit |
16:10.12 | mozrat | LeedsHK: hire a van for the day |
16:11.32 | z00dax | LeedsHK: £20 for the G450 ( as long as its a PCI card ) |
16:11.53 | z00dax | I have my charity side of things sorted, so this would be to you |
16:12.24 | z00dax | would £20 be reasonable ? |
16:12.52 | LeedsHK | z00dax: just out of interest, why would you think it's PCI? |
16:13.03 | LeedsHK | since it says AGP on the list... |

16:14.23 | z00dax | with some luck, it might even be a 400 series! |
16:14.44 | rhowe | z00dax: I *might* have an AGP G450 becoming surplus to requirements in a month or two |
16:14.50 | rhowe | z00dax: G450 dualhead 32M DDR |

16:15.47 | z00dax | rhowe: cool, I might get that off you as well then. a PCI, however, would be excellent |
16:16.14 | LeedsHK | particularly, I'm thinking things like the WAP or the xbox are worth a little bit... |
16:16.30 | z00dax | LeedsHK: got a model number on that WAP? |

16:19.50 | LeedsHK | no, you can't run Linux on it |
16:21.39 | wethrin | LeedsHK: Or is £50+beer too low? |
16:21.56 | LeedsHK | wethrin: for what? |
16:22.56 | wethrin | xbox, blank tapes, phone extension (I presume it's just cable+socket?), ipod car charger, WAP |
16:24.16 | LeedsHK | mozrat: ping? |
16:26.16 | Leeds | wethrin: the phone extension has a plug on one end and a socket on both, I think |
16:26.42 | wethrin | Right. |

16:27.27 | Leeds | yeah, that's what it is... |
16:27.51 | Leeds | would still prefer if you could pickup the xbox - and I suppose the rest, if you could come here |
16:29.54 | wethrin | How close are you to the nearest tube station? |
16:30.24 | Leeds | about 25 minutes on foot - not close at all |
16:30.47 | wethrin | Oh.....ADSL->ethernet modem could be useful - is it just a one-ethernet thing, or a built-in switch? |
16:30.52 | wethrin | Leeds: bus? |

20:15.14 | mozrat | LeedsHK: how much do you want for that? |
20:16.59 | LeedsHK | a donation, at your discretion, to the Uganda project would do fine :-) also - books probably aren't deliverable, unless someone can get me a parking space for Saturday and, possibly, a way to get home after a beer or 3 |
20:17.20 | cbz | Indeed. |
20:17.51 | mozrat | LeedsHK: No problem with the donation - I can provide parking on the day in Paddington for free |

20:21.33 | LeedsHK | littleboy is my (offline) mac mini server in HK, and midiboy is my (offline) fileserver in HK |
20:22.41 | LeedsHK | oh, no... I haven't used www.vmlinuz.org for many years - I tend to use (www.)wanderingjew.co.uk for public stuff, but there's a wiki on bigboy.vmlinuz.org and there isn't one on wanderingjew - which is, of course, just a virtual server on bigboy, which is, of course, just a virtual server :-) |
20:24.34 | LeedsHK | cbz: anyway, if you want any of my junk, just mail me |
20:25.00 | cbz | You are a Mizarhim ? (brain working slowly) |
20:25.22 | LeedsHK | uh, what? |
20:25.52 | cbz | wanderingjew/Arabic Jew reference earlier |
20:27.05 | LeedsHK | nah... I'm 3/4 Ashkenazi, 1/4 Sephardi |
20:27.08 | LeedsHK | are you Jewish? |
20:27.25 | cbz | Only very slightly. |
20:27.51 | LeedsHK | what, only on Purim? |
20:28.08 | cbz | Heh no, 1/8. |
20:28.54 | LeedsHK | well, fyi - I think you meant to say Mizrachi, which means Eastern, and means the same as Sephardi, which means Spanish, and is pluralised as Mizrachim |
20:29.52 | cbz | I thought it generally had a more 'of immediate middle eastern origin' connotation. |
20:30.50 | LeedsHK | it refers to the same people, in general, but there is a feeling that since their families left Spain in 1492, it might be time to stop calling them Spanish :-) |
20:31.04 | cbz | Heh |
20:31.44 | LeedsHK | the point is that most of the Jews who left Spain went to Arab lands, so they became the 'Arab Jews' - and of course until 1492, Spain was at least partly an Arab (well, Moorish) country anyway |
20:32.21 | LeedsHK | so those who went north - which wasn't huge numbers - still feel a lot more Arabic than their northern european cousins |
20:32.23 | cbz | Well, i guess some of them would claim to have been in the Mahgreb/Middle-East before that. |
20:32.30 | cbz | Still, i guess everyone is touchy about their origins |
20:33.00 | LeedsHK | anyway - pick stuff off my list, come collect it, reduce my pile of crap which I don't want to throw away |
20:33.16 | cbz | We all have piles of crap i suspect ;) |
20:33.28 | cbz | If i asked for anything it would just add to my own pile of crap |
20:34.06 | LeedsHK | the point is that some of it might be stuff people could use, and being largely obselete crap, might find hard to get through conventional routes |
20:34.15 | cbz | At least books I have no use for can be given to the charity shop, computer crap otoh |
20:34.31 | cbz | I take it by the presence of the cuecat on the list that you now use some other form of barcode reader? |
20:35.16 | LeedsHK | I never used any barcode reader - I picked them up because they were free and I was in the US on business :-) |
20:37.47 | cbz | oh okay :) i was thinking the other day that one might be useful to categorise books |

20:59.21 | cpufreak | Diana who? |
20:59.24 | cpufreak | Ross? |
20:59.26 | cpufreak | Spencer? |
20:59.41 | mozrat | Diana Scott |
21:00.12 | mozrat | You may not recognise the name straight away but she had a spot of fame on the GLLUG mailing list last year |
21:00.36 | cbz | A claire squires-esque sort of fame? |
21:00.42 | mozrat | I think so |
21:00.46 | mozrat | (who is she?) |
21:04.35 | rhowe | hm, on those 'anti-terror raids', one person was taken from "a Chinese restaurant in the Borough area of south London" |
21:04.38 | rhowe | I wonder which one |
21:05.03 | rhowe | mozrat: Henry's fan :) |
21:05.45 | mozrat | rhowe: that's her |
21:11.21 | rhowe | Jeeeeezuss.... What is it with the people who live here and Gnarls Barkley?! |
21:11.30 | rhowe | The pub must plat it at least once every hour |
21:11.39 | rhowe | It's like the guy upstairs who plays Sultans of Swing nonstop for hours on end |
21:11.56 | wethrin | Nothing wrong with the Sultans of Swing |
21:12.13 | rhowe | wethrin: There is when it's played for 5 hours nonstop |
21:12.35 | LeedsHK | rhowe: I did see the name of the Chinese place at one point |
21:12.44 | rhowe | LeedsHK: Loon Fung? |
21:13.03 | LeedsHK | dunno |
21:13.52 | mozrat | Looks like our October meeting *might* be the first night of the Expo |
21:13.58 | mozrat | Novell might do a Xen talk |
21:14.26 | rhowe | "Twelve of the suspects were arrested at The Bridge to China Town, a halal eatery in Borough" |
21:14.33 | cbz | Heh |
21:14.40 | cbz | Yes, a halal chinese restaurant |
21:14.56 | rhowe | grr |
21:15.03 | rhowe | google maps just crashed Firefox |
21:15.29 | rhowe | hm.. every time |
21:16.54 | wethrin | rhowe: Point, I suppose |
21:19.22 | rhowe | streetmap :) |
21:19.28 | rhowe | simplicity = win :) |
21:19.45 | rhowe | OK, so the restaurant was at least 10 minutes walk away from here |
21:25.28 | LeedsHK | don't suppose there are any particularly German-speaking people around? |
21:25.56 | antiphase | Scheiße |
21:27.06 | LeedsHK | antiphase: what does that mean? :-) |
21:27.28 | antiphase | Shit |
21:28.12 | LeedsHK | is that a no then? :-) |
21:29.05 | antiphase | I did GCSE German 12 years ago |
21:29.20 | LeedsHK | yeah, probably not what he's after :-) |
21:29.22 | wethrin | you want something translated? |
21:29.25 | LeedsHK | yeah |
21:29.47 | wethrin | Which way? |
21:29.53 | LeedsHK | http://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=221603 - info on a beta BIOS for an ASUS board |
21:29.55 | LeedsHK | German->English |
21:30.46 | wethrin | LeedsHK: Nip on over to #lbw - there's some native German speakers over there |
21:30.58 | wethrin | Some may wake up on prodding |
21:31.38 | LeedsHK | wethrin: want to do me a favour and introduce me? |
21:31.51 | LeedsHK | while I part from #lwb :-) |
21:32.06 | wethrin | :) |
21:34.07 | LeedsHK | mozrat: BTW, you never answered my question above |
21:35.28 | mozrat | a question? |
21:36.13 | mozrat | Oh the book? Yes please - unsure how I can get it from you though |
21:37.15 | LeedsHK | well, that was sort of the question - can you collect it? |
21:37.55 | mozrat | to be honest. I doubt it. I'm manically busy at work at the moment. |
21:38.03 | mozrat | how much would postage be? |
21:38.11 | mozrat | not more than a few shillings right? |
21:38.54 | LeedsHK | sorry - no posting |
21:39.09 | mozrat | k, I leave it unfortunatelt |
21:39.12 | mozrat | y |
21:39.32 | mozrat | I won't have time to trek up to you in the next few weeks |
21:39.44 | LeedsHK | sorry - if I start posting I'll end up having to package stuff, buy stamps, get money back, etc. etc. and it's quite a long list... |
21:39.47 | mozrat | thanks though |
21:39.55 | mozrat | yeah, I understand |
21:41.46 | LeedsHK | probably end up storing the books, or giving them to a charity shop or something - I can't bring myself to throw a book in the bin |
21:41.59 | mozrat | :) |

21:45.15 | Leeds | okay, this connection is nice and fast, but has regular dropouts |
21:45.25 | wethrin | Hmmm |
22:05.40 | rhowe | on bbc4 atm - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328258/ |
22:09.36 | Leeds | no bbc4 here :-( |
22:12.53 | iTron | rhowe: I just put the TV on now. ;) |
22:14.02 | rhowe | iTron: Not sure I can stick it through for the full 1h55m, but we'll see |
22:16.58 | iTron | rhowe: Good luck ;) |
22:17.13 | rhowe | "Our snack food industry is all messed up" - you got that right! |
22:18.00 | rhowe | pdr: Any chance you can ask Martina if she's heard of Poprad? That's where my friends are planning to go |
22:21.04 | mozrat | nn all |

23:03.35 | Leeds | although slightly odd to see "Screenplay by Joss Whedon" at the start :-) |
23:22.18 | z00dax | I havent yet found a decent'ish pci vga for my Alpha Workstation/axp |
23:25.46 | z00dax | or maybe i have |
23:45.41 | pdr | rhowe: I've been there. Nice place. |
23:46.19 | pdr | Near to the High Tatras, so I guess they're flying to Poprad and heaing up hill from there? |
23:51.11 | pdr | Me and Martina watched "The Path to 9/11" tonight, and at the end she asks where the plane that crashed in the field was supposed to target. So I said that I don't think they know or will ever know. So she says "Did they ask Saddam when they caught him?" *sigh* |
23:52.04 | pdr | of course when I said that he wasn't even religious she was like "but I saw him on TV when they caught him for terrorism!" |
23:52.55 | Leeds | ugh |
23:54.24 | rhowe | pdr: How far from the nearest slopes is it? |
23:54.51 | rhowe | pdr: I think they're planning to be based in Poprad and head up each day |
