rowanboy - Thu Jan 31 22:18:27 2002 Yup. Still working. Even at 22:23. It's like being at Uni, only I'd be pissed with as kebab by now... rowanboy - Thu Jan 31 22:17:51 2002 Sorry Jon, but the mere mention of E***n causes that response from me! Simon - Thu Jan 31 13:16:14 2002 I now have a deep seated hatred of Epson products, after my brush with their 'rip you off as much as possible for ink' and 'crappy paper transport mechanism' printer product. I wouldn't buy hardware from them again. Simon - Thu Jan 31 13:14:55 2002 John H me ole china, if you want some rare Radstockian photos, I have some top ones and would be glad to pass them onto you for digitisation!!! Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Thu Jan 31 12:11:18 2002 I have a CanoScan too. Not as nice as Ellis's, but still excellent for the price. It's good with OCR too. rowanboy - Thu Jan 31 11:26:19 2002 Good morning!! dsp - Thu Jan 31 09:58:59 2002 Good morning. Jon E - Thu Jan 31 09:40:48 2002 Yes please! dsp - Wed Jan 30 14:42:29 2002 Someone at work also suggested the CanoScan - apparently he managed to get one for 50ish quid (I think it was a slightly different model to yours Jon)... I don't really need very high resolutions - I'm scanning pictures to go on the web - I'd be more than happy with 1280 x 960 from standard sized photos. I was also thinking of doing a CD version of the Radstock picture archive to save on download time - if anyone wants a copy let me know! John - Wed Jan 30 14:35:35 2002 I have no idea. Perhaps it was supposed to be to John Hawkins, though I doubt that. Jon E. - Wed Jan 30 14:15:14 2002 Why was that last message addressed to my dad? dsp - Wed Jan 30 14:14:26 2002 John Hastings: I've just got a canonScan 1220U. It's a U.S.B. scanner with wicked resolutions. It doesn't have it's own power supply, so It needs either a USB Hub or a proper USB 1.1 connection on your P.C. It's about 125 quid. Which ain't bad. I've also just bought an Epson, which I've got to test out and install this weekend (It was about 80 Quid). I'll tell you what that one's like. You'll like the canon though. it is wafer thin (said as if John Cleese). Jon E - Wed Jan 30 14:11:00 2002 I've decided I'm going to buy a scanner and embark on a Radstock web photo archive project device effort wembley thing. John - Wed Jan 30 13:56:55 2002 SLEDGEHAMMER! rowanboy - Tue Jan 29 14:58:25 2002 There was also quite a bit of work with a lump hammer and a crowbar (we're saving the patio slabs..) rowanboy - Tue Jan 29 14:57:59 2002 Hmmmm....Sledgehammer Simon - Tue Jan 29 13:08:06 2002 Error -22432112 : Spontaneous Existance Failure - Please restart LizardOS 3.43 - Tue Jan 29 13:05:47 2002 Did I mention that we're replacing the patio with a conservatory?? rowanboy - Tue Jan 29 12:03:14 2002 Where the f*ck do you find this stuff??? rowanboy - Tue Jan 29 12:02:39 2002 Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you, fresh from the halls of wierdland. The oddest webpage you're likely to see: The M16 MotorwayRob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 29 11:49:54 2002 Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you, fresh from the halls of wierdland. The oddest webpage you're likely to see: Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 29 11:49:31 2002 Hmm. Please fix it! ;-0

John - Thu Jan 24 15:19:52 2002 Maybe I'm missing something here, but M$ Help Workshop just gave me this message : Compression increased file by 7,172 bytes. Simon - Thu Jan 24 15:08:54 2002 Into whatever we do could we please incorporate some randomness? Jon E - Thu Jan 24 15:02:26 2002 flip yall. I flip yall. whatthfuck. Fenster - Thu Jan 24 15:00:02 2002 John, can you cite an example from slashdot that you would like reverse engineering? dsp - Thu Jan 24 15:00:00 2002 If you mean talking to a database (for example Access) then it is free. Jon E - Thu Jan 24 14:57:02 2002 John: Do you mean SQL (as in Transact or SQL 77) or do you indeed mean SQL Server (Microsoft / Sybase)? Jon E - Thu Jan 24 14:55:27 2002 Slashdot as in slashdot.org. Apparently this style of thing is called a "weblog". News to me. I really don't want to have to write the scripts myself (no time, too many other things to work on), but all the ready-written downloadable ones want to use bloody SQL, which we can't run on our servers without paying for. John - Thu Jan 24 14:54:03 2002 Of course having an A.S.P. developer and a V.B./A.S.P. (Tim) would probably be useful. Anything you want created just say, and It can / will be done. Might even do it off a database. WOW. jon E - Thu Jan 24 14:53:46 2002 Rob, the new bodegeworld looks lovely, but unfortunately I can't view it properly - there's apparently an error in the javascript (line 6, top.right is allegedly undefined), so I keep getting a popup every second moaning about it. Maybe my fault for having Visual Interdev installed - which I never actually use, and can't find out how to turn off. John - Thu Jan 24 14:52:05 2002 slashdot, wtf? dsp - Thu Jan 24 14:49:44 2002 Johnny boy, I would do a news script on the front page. We each have a news item (that can be changed in perl, say) and then the scrolling thing just displays each news item. We could have a cool page (external) too. Stuff what we like. After a certain number of days, the script could kill off old ones, keeping it neat. Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Thu Jan 24 14:48:31 2002 My thesis will be on Dynamic Neural Networks, ones that learn everything for all time. A few application type things to do with Radar too. Finished the new bodge world. Ho hum. What to do now? Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Thu Jan 24 14:45:33 2002 Can anyone help at all... I want to make a slashdot style section of the maison, so we can all add news, reviews and so on... Anyone got any good ideas? John - Thu Jan 24 14:37:35 2002 LORENZO Please phone me! John - Thu Jan 24 14:29:59 2002 Nice Simon, Nice! I think I quite need to get the singing arab down, I'm in a foul mood! John - Thu Jan 24 13:31:41 2002 Naaice pics John. Had the singing arab loaded and was laughing again! I found it v.amusing to load up two copies of it and play them both at once, one on the left and one on the right of the screen, the nodding action becomes even more amusing and indeed excessively obs! Simon - Thu Jan 24 11:00:57 2002 ..or in a bin? ;-) rowanboy - Wed Jan 23 15:32:52 2002 Current his PC I imagine, when completed it will probably spend some interim time on a desk, and will eventually end up on a shelf. John - Wed Jan 23 14:10:47 2002 'xcuse my ignorance, but what's your thesis on? rowanboy - Wed Jan 23 10:37:00 2002 Nevermind, Tom. I am writing my fucking thesis at the moment. I am doing it via a paper to a conference in Hawaii. It's not very interesting. I'd much rather be working on the new version of Bodge World (ooops, let the cat of the bag). Ho hum. I've recently redone the Bullet Systems website. A bit boring, but corporate. Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Wed Jan 23 10:32:57 2002 Yep. In my back bedroom, um, I mean OFFICE. rowanboy - Wed Jan 23 09:56:08 2002 Are you not at home then Tom? John - Wed Jan 23 09:51:33 2002 I find myself starting the day walking the dogs at 0700, followed by quick shower, toast and coffee, followed by starting work on new version of CheckPoint FireWall. I have to upgrade my qualifications, so I've gotta "play" with it for a day or two. It is SO NOISY in here with the number of PC's and Sparcs I need to test this out - plus the network switches are loud enough to wake the dead. Groan. No music today :-( rowanboy - Wed Jan 23 09:49:34 2002 I find myself starting the day by installing cygwin. Oh dear. John - Wed Jan 23 09:27:13 2002 Quiet today. rowanboy - Tue Jan 22 20:20:49 2002 That's Micro$oft isn't it? NAH. rowanboy - Tue Jan 22 13:41:12 2002 I'm going to install it today, as it happens. John - Tue Jan 22 13:12:14 2002 Anyone doing anything .Net? dsp - Tue Jan 22 12:26:53 2002 The great thing about working in broadcast engineering is that at least a small part of my job is to watch TV. Nice. John - Tue Jan 22 12:22:38 2002 Pretty much the default - Honey and Lemon. John - Tue Jan 22 10:56:40 2002 What flavour? rowanboy - Tue Jan 22 10:41:04 2002 Mmmm Lockets. John - Tue Jan 22 10:17:27 2002 Hmmmph ;-) rowanboy - Mon Jan 21 18:46:31 2002 Rowanboy and keeping clear of groynes? There's got to be a pun in there somewhere! John - Mon Jan 21 18:34:27 2002 Oddly enough, I also took a picture of the "Keep Clear of teh Groynes" sign last time I was in Bournemouth. Something about it don't you think...?  rowanboy - Mon Jan 21 18:30:58 2002 After all you lot always banging on about ebay, I took a look for myself today and was a bit disappointed - I totally failed to find anything I wanted to buy. Maybe just my immaterialism (or whatever its called) shining through though... John - Mon Jan 21 18:01:15 2002 In a bizzare twist of fate I seem to be getting snowflakes (or at least white blobs) on the picture page. Oh and this on too. I think the snowflakes are trying to take over my pc. Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Mon Jan 21 17:13:11 2002 Simon (plus anyone else interested) I've put the pictures from the weekend on the web now, also the videos (singing arab included) are there. Nice. John - Mon Jan 21 13:56:05 2002 Also, as a slightly odd epilogue, it turns out it is the recharger rather than my phone that's broken after all. Which is nice. John - Mon Jan 21 11:27:31 2002 Yep got back OK - the train was a bit delayed, and I forgot to get off at Winchester which meant spending 20 minutes in Basingrad but no great problem really. Thanks very much for a verrrr nice weekend! John - Mon Jan 21 11:26:35 2002 John: Cheers for coming down, 'twas great. I trust the train journey back was not too Ahh! Simon - Mon Jan 21 08:04:38 2002 Or Here  Simon - Mon Jan 21 08:03:09 2002 Rowanboy: There is a picture of Jons car on the Swindon Barbeque section of the pictures section. Simon - Mon Jan 21 08:00:22 2002 Looks like you couldn't make it then Jon! I'm still at Simon's but am leaving in about half an hour... never mind - maybe next time? John - Sun Jan 20 15:23:47 2002 Sorry to hear that Tommy boy. Nope it's an A4 Avante (Estate). It's not bad at all really. real good MPGs. I was looking at the A3, but decided for the money it was a bit expensive. Saying that the A4 is a bit over the top. Jon E - Sat Jan 19 14:59:55 2002 Jon, you're not the only one at work :-( SO - which model is this AUDI? A3 I'm assuming, but is it the sport version or what? Do you have a picture? I quite like the A3... :-) rowanboy - Sat Jan 19 14:45:19 2002 Nope can't blow the engine. it's a diesel. Over-reving isn't possible. However wheel spin is possible and indeed applied at every possible opportunity when women around. Also sub woofer is a "Standard" extra. Which is nice. Oh and yes John, I have taken the corner in 3rd gear. Hmmmm well It looks like a horrible trick has been played on me, because I'm the only one at work. Jon E - Sat Jan 19 08:17:46 2002 Right then, I'm leaving work nowish... If you're still reading the board Simon, see you in 3 hours! John - Fri Jan 18 17:37:04 2002 You haven't blown the engine up yet then??!! Simon - Fri Jan 18 15:00:25 2002 Well as Tim gets paid more than me (Obviously not saying that Tim shouldn't get paid more). I'd say no not really, however they do give me a nice Big AUDI instead. - Fri Jan 18 14:48:10 2002 John: Yeah that's fine, see you in Poole Jon: D'Oh. Well hopefully you might make it on Sunday Simon - Fri Jan 18 14:15:37 2002 OK Jon, I understand... If we see you, we see you. I just hope you're getting paid a bloody big wage to justify the extent to which your company is taking the piss! John - Fri Jan 18 14:09:22 2002 This is probably going to piss a couple of people off. it looks uncertain for me being able to get my arse down to Wimborne this weekend. Sorry kids, but Daddy has to work. Got god damn project in on Monday (Which I was put on about 1 month ago, and have since with 1 other person re-written, because the version which was going to go in was shod.) Therefore It's either I stay at the weekend or I don't bother turning up to work again. Obviously If I do get it all done then I can get down to Wimborne for Sunday. Wahooo. But holding no promises at this time. jon E - Fri Jan 18 14:01:29 2002 Simon - currently considering a train that gets to Poole at 20:23 - is this OK? The one before that would mean leaving work senselessly early... John - Fri Jan 18 13:41:29 2002 I just wandered onto kevinwarwick.com and it's very odd indeed. Simon - Fri Jan 18 13:09:46 2002 John: Any idea of the time of the train you are getting? I'll pick you up from Poole. Simon - Fri Jan 18 09:45:25 2002 ...and where exactly is club glamrock? John - Fri Jan 18 09:23:18 2002 I would like to let all you people know that Club Glamrock has a fantastic reputation for ripping people off so beware!!! Tommy twotone <tomthumb@juno.com> usa, - Thu Jan 17 22:27:39 2002 - Thu Jan 17 20:09:30 2002 Hmph spend hours looking for you Mr Hawkins on the bloody internet and friends reunited see you down the pub on a saturday night and then thats it, so long have a nice life hey !!! typical of the disposable society we live in today ! I dunno if there's ever going to be any progress........ Dibble - Thu Jan 17 18:26:51 2002 UNCLE ROCKINGCHAIR BABY! I can't to get you between my teeth!! Mikes Aunt - Thu Jan 17 18:17:38 2002 Hmmmm I think they're beginning to suspect my aunt is totally fictitious... Mike - Thu Jan 17 17:13:40 2002 'Ole rockingchair seems to have scared them off.... Simon - Thu Jan 17 17:06:57 2002 PShhhhnnegg! Hello there Mike's Aunt.....Hick.... Simon's Uncle Rockingchair - Thu Jan 17 15:09:47 2002 SOunds like you've got your hands full Si! rowanboy - Thu Jan 17 15:09:35 2002 OOOOOH! I love a man in uniform.... Mikes Aunt - Thu Jan 17 15:08:30 2002 I'm afraid not!, though there is a policeman who lives in my road. Perhaps he could sort her out Simon - Thu Jan 17 15:08:04 2002 You little bugger! Telling your nice friends that I am a looney... Now, where did I put that machetee? Mikes Aunt - Thu Jan 17 15:08:00 2002 All Reuse Should End, is more apropriate as it sells something in english. jon E - Thu Jan 17 15:07:14 2002 Um. I meant All Reuse Should End. Damn. rowanboy - Thu Jan 17 15:06:49 2002 Another one: All Reuse Should Stop rowanboy - Thu Jan 17 15:06:15 2002 Also, are you near to a police station? She's still on probation you see, and she needs to check in every other day. Mike - Thu Jan 17 14:58:49 2002 Mike's aunt is a good laugh Simon, and the monster truck is pretty cool - maybe she'll let you drive it if you ask nicely! John - Thu Jan 17 14:53:45 2002 Mike: Hmm....the badger is OK but you won't be able to park a mini within a mile of my flat. It's a kind of negative parking situation. Simon - Thu Jan 17 14:53:28 2002 Simon - you still haven't answered about my aunt and her monster truck? Is it OK? Is now not a good time to mention her pet badger? Mike - Thu Jan 17 14:46:11 2002 Thank you. I love you both too. Though in my case it's purely sexual. Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:44:12 2002 Because we both love you (in a very manly way of course)...? John - Thu Jan 17 14:41:58 2002 Why? Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:40:27 2002 What do you mean "why"? John - Thu Jan 17 14:39:38 2002 Yes, but why? Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:37:54 2002 Jon, because me and Simon will be in Dorset, monkey boy! John - Thu Jan 17 14:37:20 2002 Jon - she's on the way to being a bit of a gonner, actually. Simon - she's got one of those monster trucks, is there going to be somewhere suitable we can park it? Mike - Thu Jan 17 14:35:41 2002 John, so why would I want to go to Dorset? It would be a pleasure to see you round at my house. Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:34:44 2002 That depends, is she a go-er? (I'm sorry but I'm becoming a bit unmanagable.) Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:33:45 2002 Can I bring my aunt also? Only she's been a bit depressed recently and she shouldn't spend too much time by herself. Mike - Thu Jan 17 14:32:39 2002 Jon, if you don't come to Dorset at some point this weekend I'm going to personally crawl into your house at night through the ventilation ducts and then eat your liver. Capisch? John - Thu Jan 17 14:31:47 2002 SIMON: Why aren't you drinking yet? Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:31:32 2002 Jon: OH COME ON! Simon - Thu Jan 17 14:30:34 2002 Mike: You are quite welcome to come along as well. I can only offer floor/sofa space in my lounge for sleeping, but yeah, come along if you want Simon - Thu Jan 17 14:29:37 2002 "I like John Hawkins because......" His hair easily catches on fire. Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:27:05 2002 Tim is hiding away in his northern retard ghetto. (OH COME ON!) John - Thu Jan 17 14:24:45 2002 It was in fact a distinctly lizardy pretend woman. John - Thu Jan 17 14:22:04 2002 OH COME ON. (Said only to beat Simon to it). Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:16:47 2002 Single Host Occurance Data Deliverance Yak. (Only said to beat Tom to it). Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:16:05 2002 Wahoo. Is that a taste of DSP happening in the board? or is it Lizardness? Jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:14:38 2002 Indigo Dry Onion New Technical Kahki Near Orlando Water jon E - Thu Jan 17 14:13:55 2002 Something that only fires once and then is useless? That'll be a man then.

Jon E - Thu Jan 17 13:01:50 2002 I'm writing a paper and I need a name for a single use communication channel - i.e. one that only ever has a single value communicated along it - does anyone have any ideas? John - Thu Jan 17 12:59:00 2002 Can I come along as well this weekend? Mike - Thu Jan 17 12:51:57 2002 Oddly my brother Adrian didn't come up on that Moby Games search thing, so it's obviously a bit poo, given that he's been behind a load of games now, including writing the guts of Microsoft Train Simulator (which wasn't written by Microsoft at all, it turns out). John - Thu Jan 17 12:18:04 2002 BTW - it is not snowing anymore. rowanboy - Thu Jan 17 11:12:56 2002 graf: where did you install debian? To a partition on your w2k box or what? Explain ;-) rowanboy - Thu Jan 17 11:12:37 2002 Wow - the first one it turns up is actually THE chris - although it's probably not that common a name... graf <grafhama@yahoo.co.uk> - Thu Jan 17 09:40:26 2002 I invite the world to search for Chris Challacombe.http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Chris+Challacombe&meta= Jon E - Thu Jan 17 08:40:44 2002 Grr - spent ages faffing with getting linux installed on my javastation when all I had to do was install debian. That's the last time i choose the "Simple" installation option too... No, I do not want F*cking Emacs, I really don't Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Thu Jan 17 02:35:30 2002 Nice. Simon - Wed Jan 16 13:43:50 2002 John: Could you send a text message to my mobile please as I don't seem to have your mobile number in my phonebook at the moment Simon - Wed Jan 16 12:17:52 2002 Jon I just answered you from that address - I have basically three mailboxes because of all of my different vocations and I don't always check all of them every day... A bit awkward I know, but if you send it to any of the three I'll get it eventually...! John - Wed Jan 16 11:54:07 2002 John: Yeah, Friday night is fine. Popz is organising some sort of meal on Sunday (Mexican probably), so that could be built in, however I think he was planning it later on in the day...anyway we can sort something out, even if we do another meal at lunch as well it doesn't matter...nice! Simon - Wed Jan 16 11:04:31 2002 John: As I've mailed you and I haven't had a response from the address that I had, I'll take it that this is the wrong address. Please could you send me your e-mail address again. Jon E - Wed Jan 16 11:01:28 2002 Jon - could you make Sunday lunch maybe? We could meet up somewhere in Bournemouth perhaps (Simon - is that OK?) Simon, yes, I'll probably come down Friday night if that is OK - but I'm working in the daytime so it might be lateish... I'll probably mosy back Sunday afternoon... John - Wed Jan 16 10:13:51 2002 Jon, my email address hasn't changed since the last time you mailed me. Do you mean INS's books? Hmmmm I think we need to have a chat about this - I'm a bit confused! Maybe the message board is not the best place though! John - Wed Jan 16 10:07:39 2002 Jon: Hello there and Happy New Year. Well, basically you could just come down on Saturday (or just afternoon) or just Sunday or whatever. I imagine John will come down on Friday night or Sat morning (John - Coming down on Friday?), so any time during the weekend is fine Simon - Wed Jan 16 09:50:38 2002 It is always nice to be invited to such momentus events, however due to an excess of work right now I'm going to have to think about it. Sorry about being Anal on this, but really I've got like shit loads to do including our company's books (JOHN will you please give me an active mail address you arse). Perhaps A cut down version of weekend can be arranged within a certain window of opportunity. Could you tell us when everything is likely to kick off and when stuff is going to happen. JOn E - Wed Jan 16 09:01:51 2002 John: Could you send a text message to me please as I don't seem to have your mobile number in my phonebook at the moment. Simon - Wed Jan 16 08:43:50 2002 Hell yeah! Jon? You there? Do you want to / are you able to come down to Wimborne for the weekend/day this weekend? You're more than welcome... Simon - Wed Jan 16 08:39:23 2002 Right then. rowanboy - Tue Jan 15 18:24:32 2002 Any chance of building Mr. Ellis in....? John - Tue Jan 15 17:36:06 2002 Nice! Glad to hear about the Unicum, however obviously other forms of beverage are encouraged/mandatory. John - Tue Jan 15 17:34:43 2002 Nice....I am looking forward to it in the way that is unique to randomly formed plans on the messageboard.... Simon - Tue Jan 15 17:02:40 2002 John: Great! Good plan - this weekend is fine - Popz should be down here as well at some point also this weekend so that's good for randomness....I can pick you up from station etc and Unicum involvement can be minimal to non-existant!! Simon - Tue Jan 15 16:58:38 2002 Simon, with randomness, are you free for me to pay fair Dorset a visit this very weekend? No need for Unicum this time if you don't want it. John - Tue Jan 15 16:47:59 2002 Wht do you mean, I'm the one who needs to get a proper job? You're the one who gets to play with flippin lego all day! Now go and write your thesis you naughty little brother. Big sister is watching you. Alex Griffiths <blah> - Tue Jan 15 16:09:33 2002 Blah = Thesis Thesis = Blah Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 15 15:04:24 2002 John:Cheers John! You're quite great yourself! I still have your Champagne.....think we need to meet up soon and drink it as well as other beverages. 'My french accordian.....' Simon - Tue Jan 15 14:06:00 2002 Blah John - Tue Jan 15 13:49:32 2002 Today I managed to get five chunky kit kats for 99p. I was well pleased. Mike - Tue Jan 15 13:41:56 2002 Simon, just in case you'd forgotten: I bloody love you man. John - Tue Jan 15 13:27:22 2002 The sum total of my knowledge of nail polish remover is : 1. You use it for removing nail polish usually 2. It has a very strong smell 3. You can use it to remove sticky residue left by labels etc but CAREFUL! it may dissolve some plastics. Simon - Tue Jan 15 12:10:34 2002 just revising for an IT exam (yeah, bollocks i am) which i have got to take in about 50 minutes... i know, i know....A Level IT is piss easy...u lot with ur degrees and stuff.... can u help me with my site sometime soon... cheers, chris... Chris Rowan - Tue Jan 15 12:04:27 2002 I had a marv day yesterday. Meeting with the sponsors, worked a bit in the afternoon and then listened to some top music at the Fez. John, you were sadly missed but I hope you managed to get that dasterly paper in. Alex, why not get a proper job rather than drawing animals and 'crawling in mud up behind animals'?? :) Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 15 10:34:19 2002 I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please dont let me be misunderstood... dsp - Tue Jan 15 09:20:16 2002 Anyone know anything about nail polish remover? Jenny - Tue Jan 15 09:18:59 2002 I'm just a man, with a man's courage, dum, dum, dum... Freddy - Tue Jan 15 09:14:55 2002 Cool - I remebered how to crack open rpms so we might not need to build mozilla. Freeamp won't be much use tho, cos apparently the linux support for the sound chip isn't up to much. Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Mon Jan 14 17:08:52 2002 Hello people. I've had a lovely day today. I've been drawing tigers and cutting out piccies of wolves. Now I'm off to go to yoga since I've had such a stressful day. Not sure how someone would know I worked in TV though....spooky! Alex Griffiths <pah!> - Mon Jan 14 16:45:39 2002 Well spotted Jon - hilarious! John - Mon Jan 14 13:13:49 2002 Graf. I will email you that filesystem soon - I have not forgotten m8! rowanboy - Mon Jan 14 13:11:46 2002 What a sham(e). rowanboy - Mon Jan 14 13:11:14 2002 2 thing of interest on the news.bbc.co.uk website right now: 1: Kym might quit Hear'say. 2: This Link http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/education/newsid_1755000/1755817.stm. It seems that the heading is quite quite true. Jon E - Mon Jan 14 12:56:34 2002 Errrr... I got drunk at the weekend...? John - Mon Jan 14 12:23:57 2002 Nice one sir! I've got mine running as dumb X terminals, but that's not really what I wanted. I'm working on the next stage later tonight!! rowanboy - Fri Jan 11 16:46:48 2002 Yayy - i've got it to boot from windows 2000! Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Fri Jan 11 15:01:14 2002 I still haven't got mine to boot if a pre-built image. Can you get it to boot without using Rarp? Some people have been saying you just need DHCP - although that might be people with a later version of openboot on board. Are you using an embedded filesystem or nfs? Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Fri Jan 11 10:42:20 2002 GRAF! I have X windows working on my JavaStation. Nice BA! rowanboy - Thu Jan 10 17:26:12 2002 No there isn't you deluded imbecile. John - Thu Jan 10 16:58:39 2002 Its the mad eyes. rowanboy - Thu Jan 10 16:58:09 2002 I'd never previously noticed, but there's an uncanny resemblance between Mr Blobby and Margaret Thatcher. Mike - Thu Jan 10 16:47:05 2002  Simon - Thu Jan 10 16:43:17 2002 My knee hurts. Mike - Thu Jan 10 15:51:44 2002 Oh glorious cheese. Jon, Tim and Rob, you've all been bad boys. John - Thu Jan 10 15:02:16 2002 ...and now I'm bored again. John - Thu Jan 10 14:34:30 2002 Happy Margaret Thatcher day everyone! 
John - Thu Jan 10 14:33:18 2002 Hey Everybody, today is: Margaret Thatcher Day ...well, in the Falklands Islands, anyway, if you don't believe me, look here. Nice! John - Thu Jan 10 14:26:41 2002 It's raining men, hallelujah, it's raining men, etc. Mulligan and O' Hare - Thu Jan 10 14:17:13 2002 If it helps alleviate the dullness at all, here's my mate Duncan's recipe for bolognese. It made me laugh anyway. John - Thu Jan 10 13:12:12 2002 Aye. You tis batty boy ain't cha? Ali G - Thu Jan 10 13:10:40 2002 (currently laughing) there's a hint of Ellisness about that wouldn't you say?? John - Thu Jan 10 13:09:38 2002 However, I'm still so bored right now that I feel like my brain is melting. DULL! John - Thu Jan 10 13:07:56 2002 News Break:........ Shiteness started in Cheltenham at 6:24 this morning, and has since travelled down to West Swindon, where it seems to have stayed. It is thought that it will travel back northly up to Cheltenham Tonight. Fears that the Shiteness storm cannot be dispelled might be unfounded as scientists are hoping that consumation of alcohol might disperse the clouds. A leading scientist in this field, Dr. Dre, is calling for volunteers. "Yo Bitch. Please could someone try to have a beer, So we can remove our fear That the storm is hear for a year. In the house. Dr. Dre's dead. " - Thu Jan 10 13:07:25 2002 Mike yep that sounds great...! John - Thu Jan 10 13:06:01 2002 Chris: yes please do. John - Thu Jan 10 13:04:25 2002 Sorry to hear it John, I know how you feel - today is pretty sucky really! How about we go to that place you like on Goodge Street tonight? Mike - Thu Jan 10 12:56:25 2002 God, it's barely even lunchtime and already today seems to be quite staggeringly shit. John - Thu Jan 10 12:44:22 2002 is it ok if i advertise maison-de-stuff on my sites...? chris rowan - Thu Jan 10 02:41:36 2002 That is absolutely absurd Rob, don't be so proposterous. Everyone know Ghengis had a nut allergy. John - Wed Jan 9 16:07:46 2002 That's not impressive, last wednesday, I sat on a train opposite Ghengis Khan and Mussolini. They were having a heated debate about whether Snickers was really Marathon. Ghengis' position on relabelling was very strong. Rob Lang <r.i.w.lang@rdg.ac.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Wed Jan 9 13:30:13 2002 ...and he was in standard class. Obviously Sarah Michelle Gellar gets all the money from it. John - Wed Jan 9 11:03:38 2002 By the way, on Monday night I was on a train with the bloke who plays Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Didn't talk to him though, he looked a bit unhappy. John - Wed Jan 9 11:02:53 2002 No there was humour there before! John - Wed Jan 9 09:19:50 2002 I provided the humour. Stop chatting up my sister, you perverse lot. Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 8 18:03:57 2002 Thanks Alex - yes I'm rather proud of it - although I can't take all the credit, a lot of it was done by wee Robbie... John - Tue Jan 8 16:07:57 2002 Ah well - as long it's not only my sister that causes that reaction... Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Tue Jan 8 15:49:59 2002 Do you work in TV Alex? The name rings a bell... Mike - Tue Jan 8 15:05:07 2002 Nice job on the New Year site by the way - made me laugh! Alex Griffiths - Tue Jan 8 14:34:40 2002 Oh I don't know, I just thought it was the default reaction to anyone's sister. John - Tue Jan 8 14:29:52 2002 eh? Alex Griffiths - Tue Jan 8 14:17:21 2002 <Leg rubbing> Look, it's Rob's sister. </Leg rubbing> John - Tue Jan 8 13:43:22 2002 I'd just like to take all the credit for my little brother's musical taste. I even took him to his first gig you know. Mind you, System of a Down are pants. Alex Griffiths <I've forgotten the one that Rob gave me - sorry> office, somewhere in Bristol - Tue Jan 8 12:54:39 2002 Oh, and today I will mostly be listening to System of a Down, Incubus and Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> MADLAB, Reading - Tue Jan 8 10:08:03 2002 <smug> I program in Java, it runs on eveything. </smug> Rob Lang <icar@icar.co.uk> Reading, UK - Tue Jan 8 09:48:08 2002 We've had problems with building release versions of stuff on 2000 at work. I think the standard dlls are different or something. We now have a standard build machine that we build all the releases on - and that is running nt4. Not that this is much help to you, i realise, but just to let you know it's not just you who's had this problem. Graf <graf@altavista.net> - Mon Jan 7 17:02:59 2002 Hmmmm if only there was some way I could squeeze NT4 onto my machine at home - it would make this kind of diagnostics a lot easier - it's already got 2000 and 98 though, I get the impression it's going to be a huge effort to get NT 4...? Current listening to: bugger all. Currently requiring: chocolate, possibly a double decker. John - Mon Jan 7 16:41:46 2002 I think there may be different symbol files for each OS?? (That may be bollocks.)
Currently listening to: Andromeda, Chicane. |
