| * Seeker` kicks nildram | |
| *** tsmithe is now known as tsmithe-afk | |
| <dsas> tsmithe-afk: name changing on auto away is bad mmkay | |
| <Seeker`> dsas: how are you? | |
| <dsas> Seeker`: Ok, busy with work though :( | |
| <Seeker`> ah | |
| <Seeker`> what do you do | |
| <dsas> Seeker`: I'm a student :) | |
| <dsas> Seeker`: I'm fairly sure you're the vodafone guy :p | |
| <Seeker`> yeah, i have a rubbish memory though | |
| <dsas> heh :) | |
| <Seeker`> i'm pretty sure i remember talking to you about uni | |
| <Seeker`> but cant really remember what was said :S | |
| <dsas> heh, you remember right. | |
| <dsas> uhm, comparing how our unis do things (group work etc), placements, | |
| <dsas> can't remember much more myself tbh | |
| <Seeker`> yeah, that rings a bell somewhere | |
| <X3N> I think you then went on to agree how great i was.. | |
| <Seeker`> hmmm | |
| <Seeker`> ...maybe | |
| <Seeker`> did i ask you how long you had been using linux? | |
| <dsas> Seeker`: Not a clue. | |
| <dsas> X3N: Yes, that does ring a bell. | |
| <X3N> ;) | |
| <Seeker`> in that case, how long have you been using linux? | |
| <dsas> Seeker`: But uhm, on and off for five years, pretty much full time the last two. | |
| <Seeker`> cool | |
| <dsas> I think. something like that anyway. the last 2.5 years have been all Ubuntu | |
| <Seeker`> ah, nice | |
| <dsas> and you? | |
| <X3N> my first PC ran debian :) | |
| <Seeker`> i've been using linux for 2.5 years now, spent about 1.5 years using Fedora, then switched to debian for about 3 months before switching to ubuntu | |
| <X3N> back in the days of the P1 | |
| <Seeker`> which i now run on my desktop, laptop and work pc | |
| <Seeker`> i basically got into linux when i started uni | |
| <Seeker`> I find it much easier to use now, but i'm not sure if thats because I got better, or distros got easier to use | |
| <Seeker`> i suspect its the second reason | |
| <dsas> X3N: Shush old timer :p | |
| <X3N> I'm only 19 :o | |
| <dsas> X3N: ah :), in my head you were around my age. | |
| <Seeker`> dsas: how old are you? | |
| <dsas> did you parents run debian or something? | |
| <dsas> i'm 21 | |
| <X3N> i just had one of those "oh fuck i'm going to be 20 soon" | |
| <Seeker`> X3N: 20 doesnt really feel that differnet | |
| <Seeker`> *different | |
| <Seeker`> at least, it doesn't yet | |
| <dsas> I felt older, but then I left uni and went on placement.... | |
| <X3N> 20 is not a teenager :S | |
| <Seeker`> dsas: I turned 20 in july, about a month after I started placement | |
| <Seeker`> i feel like i've grown up, but i dont feel any older | |
| <dsas> I felt older, total lifestyle change from living at uni, late to bed, late to rise, drinking often, living with three lads. To spending almost every night in with the girlfriend at one of our parents. | |
| <Seeker`> before i met my girlfriend, i used to stay up till 3am every day | |
| <X3N> I feel older than most of the people in my year because i did a placement with the the Year in industry scheme | |
| <Seeker`> but once i met her, she started nagging me if i stayed up late, so i shifted into a more daytime oriented lifestyle | |
| <Seeker`> so not too much of a change when i started work | |
| <Seeker`> and i actually drink more now than i did at uni | |
| <dsas> heh, my girlfriend didn't nag, but I went to bed when she did rather than sat on IRC all night. I woke up at 5.30 each morning to make up for lost time. | |
| <Seeker`> heh | |
| <dsas> X3N: How did you enjoy your placement? | |
| * dsas doesn't sleep much. | |
| <X3N> yeah, it's much better than being stuck here | |
| <dsas> I preferred work to uni too. At least this last year... | |
| <dsas> X3N: Where is here? | |
| <X3N> uni (Brunel)_doing computer sys engineering | |
| <X3N> the work i was doing was using my skills *now* so was more stimulating | |
| <Seeker`> where did you work? | |
| <dsas> London, cool. | |
| <X3N> instead of learning new things which arn't nessasarilly being used | |
| <X3N> i worked for businesswebsoftware.com | |
| <X3N> web 2.0 stuff | |
| <X3N> dsas: yeah that is one of the redeming features :) | |
| <dsas> I love London, so different from home. | |
| <Seeker`> X3N: where are you from originally? | |
| <X3N> St.Albans | |
| * Seeker` wishes his geography was better | |
| <X3N> who needs geography when you have maps.google.co.uk | |
| * Seeker` is lazy | |
| <X3N> hmm my last.fm hasn't updated in ages | |
| <dsas> X3N: The charts are broke I believe. | |
| <X3N> oh | |
| <dsas> X3N: Did you skip a year or something? You're a year younger than me and in the same year of uni. | |
| <X3N> hmm no | |
| <X3N> i did normal school years > a levels > gap year > uni (now) | |
| <dsas> final year? | |
| <X3N> I'm in my first year of uni | |
| <dsas> ah, I thought you'd done an industrial placement as a sandwich course. | |
| <X3N> an no | |
| <X3N> *ah | |
| <dsas> http://www.last.fm/group/Ubuntu-uk btw ;) | |
| <X3N> joined ! | |
| <dsas> 7 members to go and we'll get some charts :) | |
| <X3N> ghosh someone posted a comment Sionide ;) | |
| <Sionide> X3N, a comment on what? | |
| <Seeker`> right, bedtime | |

| <GazzaK> morning jono | |
| <jono> heya | |
| <LoudMouthMan> morngin jono | |
| <LoudMouthMan> sigh gazzak .. 07713241956 .. but I warn you im expensive <phwwwt> | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Seeker about a year or so by launchpads comments. | |
| <GazzaK> is that really your number!!! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> but longer by all accounts. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah its my number . it published on websites/businesscards and a few journals. | |
| <GazzaK> i'd call you, but i'd get a headache :p | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah it makes most people not bother | |
| <LoudMouthMan> anyway do excuse me a bit ive got a mailman needs seeing to ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oo eerr missus | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <GazzaK> jono, your talk this afternoon is about becoming a member isn't it? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah and I want to listen in and ask lots of questions. | |
| <GazzaK> if one is technically stoopid (with regards linux) and is as graphically skilled as a 2 year old with crayons, how can one offer help to Ubuntu to become a member :p | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ping jono | |
| <GazzaK> I want to ask that | |
| <GazzaK> is that three pm uk time, or two? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Gazzak because the least qualified are in my opinion the most qualified to help the qulified understand what it difficult. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> because like Gizmo and fred pointed out last night everthing is not as obvious or as straighforward as it may at first appear. | |
| <GazzaK> 1500 utc is what in whatever time we are using at this time of year? | |
| <jono> GazzaK, yep | |
| <jono> LoudMouthMan, pong! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ah Jono, thanks. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Popey had a bloody marvelous idea for the next charity fund raising event. | |
| <jono> cool | |
| <GazzaK> so me being a utter n00b (in linux) could actually help? | |
| <Seeker`> GazzaK: How long have you been using linux? | |
| <jono> GazzaK, yes indeed, come along :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> he feels that we should when Feisty Releases get a "gold" cd and have it burned with the fiesty release on it and get as many developers as possible to sign it. | |
| * GazzaK still begs for NSPCC as our charitee | |
| <GazzaK> Seeker`, about six months | |
| <LoudMouthMan> then frame it up and put it on auction. So Jono the question is whom should I nudge to get this in the task lists. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oh and the UKteam meetins was a bit bloody productive as you'll see when I ftype up the minutes. | |
| <GazzaK> by a gold cd, I take it you don't just mean a rubbish cdr | |
| <jono> LoudMouthMan, maybe I can help with this | |
| <jono> LoudMouthMan, nice! :) | |
| <jono> UK team is kicking ass :) | |

| * sheepeatingtaz goes back to read again ;) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Wow well i feel like a schmutz ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> I got the money from Kieth Curtis via Paypal and I paid it to pudsey ( Chilldren In Need ) , Only Paypal processed the payment twice ! | |

| <popey> :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> jono will do . | |
| * Seeker` has signed up for launchpad now | |
| <popey> \o/ | |
| <Seeker`> the question is, what do i do now | |
| <GazzaK> arghh, I hate this annoying router, it died on me again | |
| <Webspot> i've got a dieing router too. it drops out every hour or so :p | |
| <GazzaK> oh, this dies every few days, thats not so bad | |
| <GazzaK> I sent an email tot he colchester lug mailing list last night, no response yet, I think it is not as busy as the ubuntu-uk one | |
| <Webspot> yeah | |
| <popey> GazzaK: there's only 11 people on that mailing list including you | |
| <GazzaK> woo | |
| <GazzaK> quality | |
| * GazzaK bangs head on desk | |
| <popey> you could try emailing either brainiacghost at gmail.com or ian.snow at btinternet.com | |
| <popey> they are the admins of that mailing list | |
| <GazzaK> hwo did you find out their are only 11 people on the list? | |
| <popey> I am an admin of lug.org.uk | |
| <GazzaK> ahh | |
| <GazzaK> is there much activity on either essex or chelmsford then? | |
| <popey> the essex lug don't host their list on lug.org.uk | |
| * GazzaK gives up and moves | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <popey> you could apply to take over one of them | |
| <popey> if the current lugmaster is AWOL or disinterested, you could mail them and ask if you could take it over | |
| <popey> if they agree you and they mail admin@lug.org.uk and the admin ninjas will sort it | |
| <GazzaK> late last night I think I offered to do that | |
| <popey> you can then update the website, advertise the LUG etc.. re-invigorate it | |
| <Seeker`> popey: are you an admin ninja? | |
| <popey> not quite | |
| <GazzaK> I filled in the stuff on http://lug.org.uk | |
| <popey> filled in what stuff? | |
| * sheepeatingtaz considers having a chat with his LUG master about this | |
| <GazzaK> http://www.lug.org.uk/lugmasters/apply.php but I got confused and filled it in for Colchester, so it should be marked as double applied for, or something | |
| <GazzaK> so who ever gets the submitted info from that form will get my application for starting up a pre-existing LUG | |
| <GazzaK> oops | |
| <GazzaK> serves me right for doing anything late at night whilst tired | |
| <popey> it's okay | |
| <GazzaK> what happens if the existing lugmaster fails to answer emails? | |
| <grifferz> in lug.org.uk's case it depends whether they still have a community or not. if they do, someone will take over. if they don't, who cares? | |
| <GazzaK> and popey your ugly mug isn't here http://www.lug.org.uk/mugs.php | |
| <popey> that page is way out of date | |
| <popey> neither is grifferz on that page and he does most of the work | |
| * popey looks for a good pic of grifferz to put there | |
| <GazzaK> how hard is it to start a community, again | |
| <GazzaK> popey, you have a bcc's email | |
| <popey> looks good | |
| <grifferz> creating a community is extremely difficult; if it wasn't you wouldn't have to create it | |
| <grifferz> it definitely needs at leats one person to really persevere and push things and if that person goes away then often it just peters out to nothing | |
| <GazzaK> well, yeah, but I can create a webpage, use the links lug.org.uk will give me, and advertise through ubuntuforums, irc and friends, and basically pimp it as much as possible, and someday, someone will come | |
| <GazzaK> I want to 1. have something to do 2. give back to the community which helped me get started 3. go to the pub a lot | |
| <GazzaK> those are good goals aren't they | |
| <GazzaK> especially No 3 | |
| <popey> having meetings is also a key thing that LUGs can do | |
| <grifferz> yes. who is telling you that you can't do this? you can just do it, you know :) | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <grifferz> but the problem is | |
| <popey> although not a requirement | |
| <grifferz> most of what you just said was infrastructure | |
| <grifferz> so what you end up with is an empty forum, an empty list, an idle irc channel and a spammed wiki | |
| <grifferz> then you get to spend all your free time attending computer fairs and putting up leaflets | |
| <grifferz> and things like that | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, that is the potential problem | |
| <popey> indeed, there needs to be a critical mass of people and start discussion | |
| <popey> mailing lists quickly become idle | |
| <GazzaK> but I can have many highly successful pub meets, even if it is just me there :-) | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> so long as you announce it and make it accessible, then it shouldn't be a problem | |
| <GazzaK> I'm fed up with this counties apathy | |
| <popey> yeah, someone should do something about that ;) | |
| <GazzaK> how best to announce it is the question thou | |
| <GazzaK> thats what I'm trying to do popey | |
| <popey> i know, I was pulling your plonker | |
| <popey> so to speak | |
| <GazzaK> really, cool | |
| <grifferz> on the mailing lists of nearby LUGs, seems to work reasonably well | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Minutes of the meeting are up if a few here can just peruse and be okay them I will publish to the mailing list. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20061127Meeting | |
| <GazzaK> I'd not do a forums to start with, an empty forum, or one with just one or two members is so naff | |
| <GazzaK> reads fine to me | |
| * popey edits | |
| * GazzaK gets ready to fight for the NSPCC for chariteeee No.1 | |
| <GazzaK> 37 members were present, including bots and sleepers | |
| <GazzaK> it took an hour, finished at 10:32 | |
| <GazzaK> grifferz, what do you mean? | |
| <popey> What is X3Ns real name? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Hey guys, you know the script for pastie, and paste.ubuntu-nl.org, What would it be called? | |
| <popey> added real names to the meeting notes rather than irc nicknames | |
| <grifferz> GazzaK, well, if I were going to start a LUG for some town or county I would look to see if there are existing LUGs for nearby towns and counties and announce the fact there, as the people from my locality that are interested in LUGs are likely already at those places already | |
| <popey> pastebin JJRR123Jamesrose | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Cheers :] | |
| * popey hears sirens | |
| <popey> they're coming to take you away GazzaK | |
| <popey> er grifferz | |
| <popey> meh, both of you | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> No, I mean where could I get the script to put on a website of my own? | |
| <grifferz> and you would probably do well to keep up with those nearby LUGs as well as you could feed off their events to start with | |
| <GazzaK> grifferz, ahh, makes sense now | |
| <popey> JJRR123Jamesrose: there's various pastebin sources about, hotscripts? | |
| <grifferz> these are just things I have seen work before.. I've never actually tried to organise a LUG and I think I'd be pretty bad at it | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <popey> ditto | |
| <popey> er | |
| <popey> I think *I* would be bad at it, not that *you* would be bad at it | |
| <Seeker`> LoudMouthMan: The number of members on the approval application is out of date | |
| <popey> just to clarify :) | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Hmm, I am just struggling for what to search... | |
| <grifferz> GazzaK: whereabouts are you thinking of trying to start one? | |
| <popey> JJRR123Jamesrose: search for pastebin :) | |
| <GazzaK> grifferz, Colchester | |
| <popey> grifferz: colchester, the mail is in the admin mailbox | |
| <grifferz> ah did we.. yes | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Seeker. yeah probably but it was current at time of publishing. | |
| <GazzaK> nearest live ones are at Chelmsford and Anglia (norwich) | |
| <popey> Anglia are very active | |
| <grifferz> I'll try and sort that out today then | |
| <popey> AIUI | |
| <LoudMouthMan> when we get closer to the council meeting date I thin kwe can update it then. | |
| <AdamBagnall> Morning All | |
| <GazzaK> anglia are active, but miles away, so Colchester can still pick up a few members from them, as we might be closer | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> http://hotscripts.com/search/13044801.html | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> :[ | |
| <popey> http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pastebin+code | |
| <popey> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> :[ You need root access | |
| <popey> to what? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Install it | |
| <popey> where are you wanting to install a pastebin | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> On my website.... | |
| <popey> which is hosted? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Yes | |
| <LoudMouthMan> popey ,thanks for that . | |
| <popey> where? | |
| <popey> np LoudMouthMan | |
| <popey> LoudMouthMan: I don't know x3ns name | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> hosted where? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Somewhere in america | |
| <popey> ok, so you have some cheap hosting yes? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Isnt it Matt Easy ? | |
| <popey> don't think so | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> Pretty much, yes | |
| <LoudMouthMan> right anyway im going to post that link and the miutes to the list. | |
| <popey> JJRR123Jamesrose: and which pastebin are you wanting to install? | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I just download the pastebin source from pastebin.com | |
| <grifferz> looks like a fairly standard php app to me, wants use of a mysql db. no reason to need root as long as you already have access to mysql from php | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> nvm | |
| <JJRR123Jamesrose> I will just use this | |

| <popey> notes runs slow? | |
| <GazzaK> yeah | |
| <popey> web notes or notes client? | |
| * mrben has notes | |
| <GazzaK> notes client, with the notes server 100 miles away over a over used under spec'd line | |
| <mrben> ouch | |

| <popey> so cant you just let it sync in the background? | |
| <popey> sorry, replicate? | |
| <GazzaK> can take five minutes to open a simple email if it is lunchtime | |
| <GazzaK> I could, but I prefer the excuse | |
| <GazzaK> that's really bad isn't it | |
| <popey> yes | |
| <GazzaK> I could have a locally replicated mailfile, but I choose not to so I have the excuse of a slow connection :p | |
| <gord> my calendar consists of a post-it that I put on the side my computer a few years back that reads 'phone that guy on thursday', never did though... | |

| <PRC320> Hi | |
| <GazzaK> I think he hit it with a sword | |
| <Seeker`> Hi | |
| <PRC320> How is everyone? | |
| <Seeker`> not too bad | |
| <PRC320> ok | |
| <PRC320> I have a problem! famous last words! | |
| *** JJRR123Jamesrose is now known as james | |
| <Seeker`> what problem? | |
| *** james is now known as jamesrose | |
| <GazzaK> I want one of these http://englishrussia.com/?p=381 | |
| <Seeker`> PRC320: What problem? | |
| <PRC320> I have a problem with downloading things. | |
| <Seeker`> what problem do you have with downloading things? | |
| <gord> be specific PRC320 :) | |
| <PRC320> I have nothing at the moment :( | |
| <Seeker`> what do you mean by "I have nothing at the moment"? | |
| <gord> what are you trying to download and what are you trying to use to download it? | |
| <PRC320> sometimes I get downloaded with a GUI interface and all times I get it through the command line........... | |
| <PRC320> GnuCash is a good example | |
| <Seeker`> do you get any error messages? | |
| <PRC320> GUI is 1.8.xxx but I want 2.0.x | |
| <PRC320> syntapic is GUI how do I get 2.0.x on the CL? | |
| <Seeker`> i dont understand what you mean | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> PRC320: Do you mean the version you can download in Synaptic is 1.8.xxx and you wish to install 2.0.x? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> If that the case, I recommend having a read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> It explains about the repositories, and different ways you can install software on Ubuntu | |
| <PRC320> I see. | |

| <GazzaK> classic | |
| <GazzaK> damn, how to get home to watch all of Mark's Q&A, and not get told off for bunking off work | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> GazzaK: I'll just be reading the logs :( | |
| <GazzaK> I might hang about at work a bit to stalk Mark | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I have to get out of work (can't finish until 5), go to tesco on the way home for wrapping paper, drive home (15 mins) Cook my tea, eat my tea, Wrap Lisa's birthday present, drive back to town (15 mins) in time for dancing at 6. I hate Tuesdays. | |
| <GazzaK> hehe, my work computer was making an annoying buzz, so I hit it | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <chaddy> did you try switching it off and back on again, first? | |
| <GazzaK> nahhh | |
| <GazzaK> just hit it | |
| <GazzaK> it's the fans you see... | |
| <GazzaK> :p | |
| <chaddy> bit of graphite might help | |
| <chaddy> or just tightening some screws | |
| <GazzaK> i'll pour sugary coffee in it | |
| <chaddy> och aye, that's a perfect solution ;-) | |
| <GazzaK> popey, got a email from some bloke on that list, he says it is the first email he's had on it | |
| <chaddy> so long as you don't get blamed for it | |
| <GazzaK> i'm the IT guy here, I can blame someone else | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <GazzaK> how do I steal colchester.lug.org.uk? | |
| <DaveMorris> trick them into handing it over to you | |
| <GazzaK> I think that the original people starting it have vanished | |
| <Seeker`> GazzaK: Get the owners to give you a piece of clothing? | |
| <Seeker`> or is that something from harry potter? | |
| <GazzaK> how do I get them to hand it over if they do not answer? | |
| <DaveMorris> lug.org.uk might be able to help | |
| <DaveMorris> as they are responsible for it | |
| <popey> mail admin@lug.org.uk | |
| <popey> we give it a reasonable time and if we can't get hold of them it may be handed over | |
| <popey> it's up to the admins though | |
| <popey> they clearly don't want to piss someone off who just happens to have email trouble at the moment | |
| <DaveMorris> in the mean time just start off colchester2.lug.org.uk | |
| <popey> nooooooooooooooooooo | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <GazzaK> i'll give it a week popey then i'll email admin@lug.org.uk with what I have done and what I have heard | |
| <popey> they already know :) | |
| <popey> but yes, give it a week or so | |
| <Seeker`> hometime soon!!!! | |

| <LoudMouthMan> mornington crescent | |
| <X3N> ... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oh sorry .. wrong game. | |
| <X3N> are you connected into my screen ? | |
| <X3N> I was just typing that | |
| * X3N checks for screen -x | |
| <LoudMouthMan> X3N . nah but it was well past the Bunt so I thought it was either that or a double back past wibble. | |
| <GazzaK> what are the damn rules for MC | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Well theres a god book that explains them | |
| <GazzaK> no it doesn't | |
| <LoudMouthMan> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Mornington-Crescent/dp/0752818643 | |
| <LoudMouthMan> good rather | |
| <LoudMouthMan> though Id really recommend the 1982 Schlotfiffe variation . | |
| <X3N> everyone knows the rules, you don't need a book :) | |
| <JonRob> i reading with interest while i try to figure out what the heck you're talking about! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> X3N . Oh I dont know. I would think Gazzak would appreciate knowing the subtleties of a Bunt past a wibble. | |
| <X3N> yeah that was most devious of you | |
| <LoudMouthMan> I mean for example if I played Holborn then X3n what moves wouldbe valid ? | |
| <GazzaK> @pity the room | |
| * Ubugtu pushes the wall down onto the room whilst whistling innocently | |
| <X3N> erm well, i don't see anything wrong with warren street | |
| <X3N> or green park even | |
| <X3N> then of course you could go onto kilburn but that would be quite risky | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Ah okay wellet say Green park, Gazzak can you see ? If he played Warren Street then Id natrually pass Baker street but since hes playnig Green park im only left with Marlybone which gives X3n the upper hand in the next move. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> quite | |
| <GazzaK> go away | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Gazzak tell you what next meet in real llife X3n and I will do a demo game for you ! .. nice play by the way X3n. | |

| <dsas> Smiffeh: yep | |
| <dsas> Smiffeh: docbook | |
| <Smiffeh> thats the one | |
| * Smiffeh slaps self in face. | |
| <Smiffeh> and do you just do it in a text editor? | |
| <Smiffeh> i know obviously you can, but what do you use | |
| <popey> lol@ sheepeatingtaz | |
| <X3N> hey jono | |
| <X3N> recovered from your rsi ? ;) | |
| <Seeker``> rsi sucks :( | |
| <dsas> Smiffeh: I use vim | |
| <dsas> Smiffeh: There's an xml editor called conglomerate, I don't know that anyone uses it though. | |
| <frederific> Evening All | |

| <Seeker``> bored! | |
| <Seeker``> AdamBagnall: You go to hants LUG meetings? | |
| <popey> \o/ HantsLUG | |
| <Seeker``> do you have that reaction whenever someone says hants LUG | |
| <Seeker``> ug, I really cant type tonight | |
| <dsas> I'm surprised that response isn't on hantslug.popey.com tbh | |
| <popey> :) | |
| * Seeker` kicks his computer | |
| <Adam_Bagnall> kicks computer or network connection? | |
| <Seeker`> bit of both | |
| <Seeker`> i dont think anyone elses connection has been dropping | |
| <Seeker`> or there would have been squeeking about it from elsewhere in the house | |
| *** Adam_Bagnall is now known as AdamBagnall | |
| <AdamBagnall> You're not the only one with network trouble :-( | |
| <Seeker``> i'm now on my laptop | |
| <Seeker``> which is much more stable | |
| <Seeker``> i hope | |
| <AdamBagnall> Seeker`, how long have you used Ubuntu? Keeley said you used Fedora. | |
| <Seeker```> so much for being the more stable computer | |
| <Seeker```> lets try again again | |
| <Seeker```> AdamBagnall: Do you go to hants lug meetings? | |
| *** Seeker``` is now known as Seeker` | |
| <AdamBagnall> No car so it's a hassle for me to go. So no. Also as I'm only here for a year I wondered if it was worth it | |
| <dsas> AdamBagnall: You'll get to meet the one and only A. Pope. | |
| <Seeker`> where are you from normally? | |
| <AdamBagnall> Kent when at uni or E. Sussex when at home | |
| <Seeker`> i would get to meet a pope?! | |
| <Seeker`> AdamBagnall: cool | |
| <AdamBagnall> I've met the one and only A. Pope | |
| <AdamBagnall> I went to LinuxWorld | |
| <dsas> seeker`: Yeah, he's popping over to Hants after his Turkey trip. | |
| *** tsmithe-afk is now known as tsmithe | |
| <dsas> AdamBagnall: ok, cool. | |
| <AdamBagnall> Well if anyone fancies giving me a lift to a hants lug meet it'd be great :-) | |
| <apokryphos> hm, missed most of the talks. Nevermind 8) | |
| <apokryphos> any thoughts on the Mark talk before I dive into the transcript? | |
| <Seeker`> heh | |
| <Seeker`> i would go, but i haven't seen my girlfriend in a couple of weeks, so i would quite like to see her | |
| <Seeker`> maybe after christmas | |
| <AdamBagnall> Less than a month until Christmas now :-) | |
| <AdamBagnall> xsnow crashes compiz on my laptop though :-( | |
| <Seeker`> silly connection | |
| <apokryphos> wow, that's nto very surprising. His whole talk didn't deal at all with the opensuse controversy | |
| <apokryphos> though I wasn't in the channel to see if people were actually asking that | |
| <AdamBagnall> Seeker`, change ISP, or are you locked into a 12 month contract? | |
| <Seeker`> AdamBagnall: its not usually this bad | |
| <Seeker`> it could also be the router | |
| <AdamBagnall> Take it apart. My router kept overheating so I took it apart. It's nekkid now but it never crashes. | |
| <Seeker`> its not my router to take apart | |
| *** tsmithe is now known as tsmithe-afk | |
| <dsas> Thats roughly the 28th time in the last ten minutes the fire alarm has gone off | |
| <dsas> I would hate to be eating whatever my housemate is cooking. |
