| Phineas | MartijnVdS, oh i have done my stocking, not the tree prezzies yet | 10:54 |
| MartijnVdS | Being single = not much in stockings :) | 10:54 |
| MartijnVdS | Though I guess I could count my Kraftwerk LPs and Alela & Alina EP :) | 10:55 |

| MartijnVdS | dutchie: rent :P | 10:55 |
| dutchie | heh, true | 10:56 |
| Phineas | MartijnVdS, i got some underwere, an Odie dressed up as a red indian and allot more | 10:56 |

| Pendulum | urgh. and I just failed and put a possessive where there shouldn't have been one :( | 11:02 |
| Phineas | Pendulum, me too, my parents woke up at about 7:30AM GMT | 11:02 |
| dutchie | i suspect it is silly o'clock for Pendulum | 11:03 |
| Phineas | so my stocking is done | 11:03 |
| Pendulum | it is 6AM here | 11:04 |
| dutchie | see, silly o'clock | 11:04 |
| Pendulum | my parents were awake for about 10 minutes earlier when my brother rang before he went off to his Christmas stuff, but they went right back to sleep | 11:04 |
| Phineas | dutchie, its 11:05 AM here | 11:05 |
| dutchie | yes, and that is a sensible time to be up on christmas day | 11:06 |
| Pendulum | but I've actually been up for a couple hours as I'm sharing a room with my grandmother so if she falls in the middle of the night, someone is there and can get help. And she snores and talks in her sleep | 11:06 |
| Pendulum | so I gave up trying to sleep | 11:07 |
| Phineas | Pendulum, thats why i never sleep with my grandparents, they snore | 11:07 |

| penguin42 | 21.5B in 3 minutes - is that possible? | 23:21 |
| shauno | good question. I don't think you can make a packet smaller than 160 bits. 21.5B * 160 is 3440 billion bits. over 180 seconds, that's just over 19 billion bits per second, or 19000Mbps | 23:28 |
| * penguin42 guesses he doesn't have 19Gbps dsl | 23:29 | |
| shauno | either my math is broken, or it'd be impressive to see a residential router even pass that many packets | 23:30 |
| shauno | not sure what a normal error rate looks like, but my gut feeling is no, that wouldn't be normal :) | 23:32 |
| brobostigon | nos da, sleep well. | 23:46 |
| Craig_Dem | It seems to be a common problem on the Bt Homehub v2. | 23:59 |
