18:23 @pmcphedran nope just annoying :) #
18:29 I think something is wrong with my @quilage gps -> twitter as im fairly sure @aefaradien is not in Kazakhstan #
19:28 @thisisdavidbell ok i cant work it out. What cheese do you use to hide a small horse? #
19:29 contemplating using threads to save a few seconds on a really large test run #
19:33 @aughban so does turning a 5min test run that doesnt test anywhere enough in to a 17hour fairly exhaustive test run for 2/3 of the platforms #
19:44 @eric_andersen I saw an IBMer talk about JAZZ and instantly thought about RTC and then wondered how musicians would use it #
23:27 @FreshPlastic I think that is genius, #
23:29 @aughban no more then any other website, you will be suprised how many dont encrypt passwords. theiet, i dont think the SLC did at first, #
23:34 @aughban its the fact that places like theiet didnt secure it that got me really scared #
23:50 Does anyone want to share cc data using google power meter? #
10:54 @smilerish ive got a script :) #
10:55 @ncm its a pain scripting it with the power api, but i think im almost there now #
10:55 @ejjyjo Cheers for the FF #
10:56 @smilerish with the google power API you can backdate your entries #
11:03 I emailed my MP re the digital eco bill and i got a blunt reply asking for my address.I replied asking for a response by email.@tsuki_chama #

17:14 Where does fedora keep its kernel headers? #
17:25 @bjfletcher and you found an answer from that? #
17:25 @bjfletcher also i discovered the problem was VM wasnt finding the correct version file. I think #
18:09 I'm starting to get frustrated by the limitations of 100mb network cards, #
19:17 Ive managed to install a patch in WAS before WAS finished installing.... #
19:17 and a product #
19:22 @jacksri no just hit OK before the other dialogue had finished, it appears to be ok #
19:26 @bjfletcher i found the bug was with the software that was trying to use them, multiple patches later and a reboot and all is well #
10:38 Waiting on a CT scan. #
11:29 Should be out in twenty mins #
13:31 @_binkyy @aefaradien @dstrawberrygirl @Lxs @yellowpark I am fine, just check ups after my time in hospital. #

23:13 If you try and draw too much power from a PSU does it go bang for good or will it start working when you unplug things? #

14:03 @dalelane what i meant to say, any apps you write for the G1 will work on everything else #

18:30 now when X starts i loose my mouse and keyboard #
18:52 Finally have a fairly stable lucid kubuntu, now i just need to install the tools i need on it #
23:04 Waiting to see what the new spec macs are going to be. Rumour has it tuesday is the day they will announce #

16:28 @davenice @chrishodgins though a bag was packed my stuff wasn't, i need to do that. Jo currently has three. #
16:30 about to reboot my ubuntu server for the first time since i updated to lucid. Wish me luck #
18:08 @tsuki_chama yeah, still havent managed to reboot it yet, too nervous #
18:08 @mrsjtonline Cheers, its only a 36hour thing normally #
18:42 time to start working out why lucid didnt come up #
21:20 Lucid was fine after I fixed grub. NO idea what people were complaining about. Now hacking apart a cheap asda outside light. #
21:25 @aefaradien i think seeing two garden lights for £3 in Asda with solar cells that can charge a AAA battery a great medicine #
21:33 Is there a website I can google the numbers from IC #
21:34 is there a website i can find what an IC does from the number even. #
21:38 I think it is a ID803+43B chip #
21:58 @tsuki_chama well i cant find it this time. I think I am going to have to dig out my multimeter and just ignore it. #
21:59 I may have lost my office room but I have managed to steal some of my lounge wall. However I now need to hire the wiring. #
21:59 @icicle_halo_ is it really worth watching? #
22:04 @icicle_halo_ ok may look into getting it on dvd #
22:16 @mrsjtonline true, though the pain relief in the hospital was nice. However all the student doctors herding around me scared me #
22:17 Waiting for the arduino drivers to install on my laptop, have i really not touched them since Sept? #
23:12 @thisisdavidbell Good Luck, I havent seen it working recently #

00:35 @abirkill time to buy a pci-sata card and another hard disk and start testing it. Wish i could afford dedicated raid but its just too much #
00:41 @abirkill you make a good point, do you use the raided drives as your boot image? #
00:53 @abirkill is there a reason you didnt use RAID3? #
00:59 @abirkill raid3 has a dedicated parity drive rather then rotating. Therefore it is better for big files and single user enviros(so i read) #
01:00 @rmappleby next month i will be investing in a cheap 4 port stata controller and then slowly adding hard disks as I can afford them. #
01:22 @abirkill it wouldnt be any worse then a single disk, hmm ill decide what to do when i have the bits #
01:23 @rmappleby ive just moved to lucid because i wanted to test something, a little bit scared of doing an update now just encase it falls over #

21:28 Waiting for my midwife to come on TV #oneborneveryminute #
21:41 Trying to remember what i did in my gap year.It was only 4 years ago and everything i remember I did outside of work.@antonpiatek any ideas? #
21:42 @jtonline @eric_andersen add some logic so it can see who you work with & who your followers are?though that script would start to be nasty #
21:46 I should probably stop being on sametime this late. My contact list is pretty much all offline. #
21:48 @novemberborn I take it something went worng? #
21:55 @chrishodgins Technically I was off work ill today #
22:18 Watching the misses pack the bags for going to hospital. Im sure she will get the kitchen sink in their eventually. #
22:34 @ejjyjo Cheers #
22:34 @ejjyjo How are you? #
22:47 The misses has just declared she is ready now for baby. #
22:52 @ejjyjo yes it would be good to catch up some time. #
22:53 @FreshPlastic yes you are on the train north i imagine. its really annoying #
10:46 @aughban maybe that should wait until im ready :) 3weeks two days to get used to the idea #
