[7:35] <icedwater> Morning all :)
[7:52] <jamesty1> icedwater: moin
[7:58] <icedwater> Not in bed yet? :P
[7:58] <icedwater> Also, I haven't done a cost analysis, but I think I will be more likely to get the 25 than the 50..
[7:59] <icedwater> Though I'm not sure how last minute the trips I make would be.
[8:06] <jamesty1> sooon ;)
[8:07] <jamesty1> i would say get the 25
[8:07] <jamesty1> i don't think i got much value from my 50
[8:09] <icedwater> Hmm, OK.
[9:01] <dwu> bit early, isn't it :/
[9:09] <icedwater> Was up 6.25 :P
[9:09] <icedwater> Also, I'll be off tomorrow night.
[9:10] <icedwater> Will have an indefinite period before internet connectivity is restored in that case.
[9:11] <dwu> Mm, fair point.
[9:13] <dwu> ... is that fucking drew barrymore?!
[9:13] <dwu> OK, I -swear- that's drew barrymore.
[9:15] <dwu> OK, yep, it's drew barrymore.
[9:16] <dwu> Yaaay ^_^
[10:01] <icedwater> Why is that a good thing, apart from the fact that she's Drew Barrymore?
[10:01] <icedwater> Personally, Gwyneth Paltrow++.
[10:02] <dwu> 'cos she was on Bill Nye ^_^
[10:02] <dwu> And yes, gwyneth paltrow is lovely.

[10:02] <icedwater> Also, check out Dichen Lachman from Dollhouse :P
[10:02] <dwu> Was -she- on Bill Nye? :)
[10:03] <icedwater> Or Eliza Dushku, they both have different plus points :P
[10:03] <icedwater> Frankly, I don't know :P
[10:03] <icedwater> But Echo and Sierra look really cool... plus they're programmable :P
[10:03] <dwu> I'm very much a brit girl girl. Tilda Swinton, nom.
[10:04] <icedwater> She is good, but a bit on the mature side. :P
[10:07] * ruiwen (n=ruiwen@nusnet-183-45.dynip.nus.edu.sg) has joined #linuxnus
[10:08] <dwu> Pft, who cares.
[10:08] <icedwater> Until I'm convinced further, I do :P
[10:11] <dwu> I never understood the objection to older women. And Swinton looks damn good for her age.
[10:11] <dwu> Actually, she looks damn good period.
[10:12] <jarick> ?
[10:12] <jarick> !

[10:54] <icedwater> Are you going to order from Al-Ameen for me?
[10:56] <triplez> lol
[10:57] <icedwater> Meet for lunch?
[10:57] <icedwater> l

[11:12] <dwu> mmfood...
[11:20] <icedwater> Hmm... OK, sounds good. Is there a winterwear shop nearby though?
[11:21] <triplez> err... there's one at imm?
[11:21] <triplez> and imo, you should buy winterwear in germany
[11:22] * patrickhaller (n=phaller@cm58.kappa86.maxonline.com.sg) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[11:23] <icedwater> Hmm, OK. Try telling my mother that :P
[11:23] <icedwater> But yeah, I think I will, because it will give me more room to pack other things too.
[11:24] <icedwater> Hmm yeah, the linuxNUS t-shirt. Must bring :)
[11:24] <icedwater> triplez: I was thinking of going to IMM. Is there anything you'd like to eat at IMM instead? :P
[11:24] <triplez> i don't mind going to IMM to eat
[11:25] <triplez> not too sure what to eat there though
[11:25] <icedwater> Cool, let's meet there at 12.15? I don't know either, haha.
[11:25] <triplez> icedwater: first thing you go over to germany... buy winter clothes... and a warm blanket
[11:25] <triplez> that's about all you need
[11:25] <triplez> how low does germany go?
[11:26] <triplez> can we meet at 12? i'm all showed and dressed
[11:27] <icedwater> Hmm.. OK - let me ask you this, did you buy long johns?
[11:28] <triplez> hell no
[11:28] <triplez> how cold does it get first
[11:28] * ruiwen survived w/o long johns too.. except for snowboarding
[11:28] <triplez> i can advise you... coz canada's probably one of the coldest places on earth
[11:28] <icedwater> I don't know, but in Munich it got to -11 last winter.
[11:28] <triplez> snowboarding you'll need track pants
[11:29] <triplez> -11 is nothing
[11:29] <ruiwen> ski pants at least
[11:29] <icedwater> triplez: I know, that's why I asked. :D
[11:29] <triplez> jeans and t-shirt + a jacket
[11:29] <icedwater> Oh, yeah, gloves and a beanie.
[11:29] <icedwater> Should make sure I have those.
[11:29] * wywen (n=wong0423@cm203.delta106.maxonline.com.sg) has joined #linuxNUS
[11:29] <triplez> if you can't stand it... then just wear an extra shorts inside
[11:29] <ruiwen> icedwater: and a scarf
[11:29] <icedwater> I have that :)
[11:29] <ruiwen> ah okie =)
[11:29] <triplez> that's what i do when it gets below -25
[11:30] <triplez> i don't like a beanie... i usually go for the ear mufflers
[11:30] <triplez> but -11 is nothing to worry about
[11:30] <icedwater> Heh, OK.
[11:30] <ruiwen> but it's good to cover the top of your head too
[11:30] <icedwater> I'm more concerned with windchill :P
[11:30] <triplez> ruiwen: wanna go IMM lunch?
[11:30] <triplez> icedwater: trust me... if i can survive -30... you can survive -11
[11:30] <ruiwen> triplez: at work, sorry =(
[11:31] * ruiwen misses negative temperatures
[11:31] <icedwater> I will probably make it at around 12.15 anyhow.
[11:31] <triplez> btw... get those gloves with leather on the outside... it's more expensive but it's worth it
[11:31] <icedwater> ruiwen: Sit in an SMRT bus...
[11:32] <ruiwen> icedwater: not negative enough =P
[11:32] <triplez> for scarf i usually don't use it... coz your winter jacket will already be buttoned/zipped up
[11:33] <icedwater> ruiwen: Sit in an SMRT bus...after going for a shower without drying off.
[11:33] <triplez> the only other thing is your ears... which a beanie doesn't really do very well at protecting... especially at -30 to -45 with windchill
[11:33] <icedwater> OK
[11:34] <triplez> but at -11... i think a cheap beanie is good enough... but i don't like beanies coz it messes up my hair
[11:34] <triplez> :P hence the ear mufflers
[11:34] <triplez> they're pretty cheap... you can get them at 10 bucks a pair
[11:34] <triplez> in canada i mean
[11:34] <triplez> spend more money on your gloves... you'll need it
[11:34] <triplez> hands + ears = the most susceptible to cold
[11:35] <triplez> your legs and body... you can wear extra layers
[11:35] <triplez> a long sleve t-shirt + polo-t and a pull over will work
[11:36] <icedwater> Yeah, hands and ears.
[11:36] <triplez> remember... you'll be going in and out from cold places to warm places
[11:36] <icedwater> I'll just wear two jackets, don't have a pullover yet.
[11:36] <triplez> you want to be able to remove your layers when you get into the rooms
[11:36] <triplez> else you'll fry
[11:36] <triplez> that's why i never wear long johns
[11:37] <triplez> with shorts... you can remove your jeans... if you go to a friend's place
[11:38] <triplez> trust me... indoors = much warmer than outdoors... imagine you're wearing all that underneath and you can't take it out easily when you go indoors...
[11:38] <triplez> you'll fry
[11:40] <triplez> ok gonna leave soon
[11:41] <triplez> dwu: coming?
[11:41] <triplez> for lunch?
[11:42] <dwu> nah. Much as I'd like, today seems like slack off and mario day.
[11:43] <triplez> come on
[11:43] <triplez> for lunch?
[11:43] <triplez> just lunch
[11:43] <triplez> you gotta eat too dwu

[11:43] <dwu> But holland v is so faaaaar... Oh look, and I'm broke.
[11:44] <icedwater> dwu: IMM is a little bit nearer? :P
[11:44] <dwu> IMM has free money too? ;)
[11:44] <icedwater> Plus it won't be dim sum, we can make it a little more affordable.
[11:44] <icedwater> It's the company that matters.
[11:44] <icedwater> triplez: Also, I'll be a bit late.
[11:44] <dwu> Hrm, I do love the company...

[12:13] <icedwater> Only I tried to switch to numeric keys and hit enter instead.
[12:13] <sng> triplez_cell: You didn't *really* just say never in the context of tech did you?
[12:13] <dwu> hrm, didn't they announce future support for that?
[12:13] <sng> Really?
[12:13] <sng> dwu: Not in so many words but it was strongly hinted at.
[12:14] <dwu> meh well. the earliest an iphone is biable for me is three years. that's forever in toys.
[12:14] <sng> Yep.
[12:14] <icedwater> sng: Which would mean, in three times as many words, minimally.
[12:14] <sng> icedwater: Huh?
[12:14] <icedwater> Ack, misplaced comma.
[12:15] <icedwater> sng: @Not in so many words.

[12:18] <jarick> dwu: Makes it sound like some kind of command.
[12:19] <dwu> still paraoid.
[12:21] <jarick> dwu: It's "paranoid" when you're the village craftsman son, it's "eccentric" when you're a prophet.
[12:21] <icedwater> Heh. It's "boring" when you're on IRC..
[12:32] <dwu> *snigger*
[12:33] <dwu> ... how the hell does one get to imm from JE again?

[15:44] <elfgoh> Oh.... there is a boo programming language....
[15:46] <hyperair> it's a scripting language
[15:54] <elfgoh> What a cute name ^^
[16:00] <jamesty1> yeah :)
[16:24] <elfgoh> Wow I wonder how common are Gentoo commercial deployments: http://gentooexperimental.org/~patrick/weblog/archives/2009-10.html#e2009-10-03T20_28_24.txt
[16:25] <jarick> elfgoh: Must me a nightmare to maintain.
[16:25] <jarick> be*
[16:26] <elfgoh> jarick: Apparently not nightmarish enough for that guy
[16:26] <jarick> elfgoh: Imagine the downtimes on a kernel upgrade.
[16:26] <jarick> If someone fucks it up.
[16:27] <jarick> And imagine the system load when building a new kernel.
[16:27] <elfgoh> !twitter xkcd: you are a Linux user: http://xkcd.com/644/
[16:29] <elfgoh> jarick: I am imagining if the pain when gcc 5 comes
[16:29] <jarick> Why is that?
[16:29] <melynx1> err
[16:29] <melynx1> lol
[16:29] * melynx1 is now known as melynx
[16:29] <jarick> elfgoh: A compiler upgrade?
[16:29] <jarick> Should be amusing, but I don't really see the pain.
[16:29] <jarick> You could build one binary and redistribute
[16:30] <elfgoh> I heard that my good friend jmarki had to recompile everything when gcc 4 was released
[16:30] <elfgoh> IIRC
[16:31] <melynx> lol
[16:31] <melynx> hmm
[16:31] <elfgoh> I am not entirely sure if that was exaggerated though
[16:31] <melynx> i still remember when i upgraded from gcc3.4 to 4.1
[16:31] <melynx> ehh
[16:31] <melynx> elfgoh: its not
[16:31] <melynx> lol
[16:33] <melynx> like from gcc 3.3 to 3.4 there is an issue with libstdc++ which is painful....
[16:33] <jarick> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[16:34] <elfgoh> melynx: so what is your opinion on deploying Gentoo in a commercial environment?
[16:36] <melynx> jarick: you'll need to rebuild your toolchain against the new compiler to ensure its working... ^.^
[16:36] <melynx> elfgoh: i guess if you test all the packages + updates on a sandbox, introduce an overlay, it can pretty efficient
[16:39] <jarick> melynx: Yes, and that would just take some time, about the same as the time it takes us to check the stability of a new update.
[16:39] <jarick> A libc update takes 15 men about a month to confirm and deploy anyway.
[16:39] <melynx> lol
[16:39] <jarick> I don't see an issue with waiting an hour more to build.
[16:41] <melynx> rebuilding system and world?
[16:41] <melynx> and mantaining compatibility with older c++ binaries?
[16:45] <jarick> melynx: At least for embedded apps, we spend several thousand man-hours recertifying an upgrade.
[16:45] <melynx> thats painful too...
[16:45] <melynx> lol
[16:45] <jarick> Simply because after the upgrade, the system will sit there for the next 10 years or so.
[16:46] <jarick> And it would be bad if it turns off.
[16:55] <melynx> zzzz
[16:57] <jarick> zzzz?
[16:58] <melynx> typed in the wrong box... lol
[16:59] <jarick> Dongs!

[17:12] <schiv> oh no gentoo talk! why??!
[17:19] <melynx> cause gentoo is nice?
[17:19] <melynx> i've been using it since 2003....
[17:19] <melynx> or is it 04
[17:19] <melynx> can't remember
[17:21] <ruiwen> haha i'm sorry.. the first thought that came to mind was "Is it done compiling yet?"
[17:22] <schiv> melynx: as long as you like it
[17:23] <schiv> literally speaking^
[17:23] <melynx> yupz
