paultagmhall119: oh?12:35
czajkowskihmm not sure having that burger before job interview was wise13:04
czajkowskineed to find some after diner mints now13:04
Pendulumczajkowski: I did that once. But I think I'd remembered to bring mints or mint gum or something with me13:05
czajkowskichicken burger coverred in pesto13:06
paultagouchie13:06
Pendulumyum13:06
Pendulumbut yeah, ouch on breath13:06
czajkowskiam well early it's only after 2 interview at 3:30 was paranoid in case of riots and trafic13:07
paultagOh, haha, right London riots13:07
paultagczajkowski: you're not out fighting the power?13:07
paultagriots are always a good way to keep goverments in check13:07
czajkowskino only thugs and knackers out there13:07
czajkowskinot these kind. just looting fornthe sake of looting13:08
paultaglondon calling :)13:08
paultagczajkowski: damn. They should be going around breaking CCTV cameras13:08
czajkowskiabsolutely no tolerance for that kind of thuggery13:08
czajkowskigrr    /ignore paultag13:08
paultagczajkowski: what?13:08
paultagczajkowski: you like being watched all the time?13:09
paultagthe brittish goverment is a bit crazy, just like the US goverment13:09
paultagsometimes a little riot keeps things from getting too out of hand13:09
czajkowskipaultag: do you know why there are riots going on over here13:09
paultagczajkowski: nope, not paying attention to any of it. I'm sure it's because someone got shot or some bullshit reason13:09
paultagbut it never matters :)13:09
paultagpeople will riot if they want to riot regardless13:10
czajkowskipaultag: you are talking shite.13:10
paultagmkay13:10
czajkowskiinnocent peoplehave been killed and others injured over this.13:10
paultagand that's a shame. I'm not advocating what they're doing directly13:11
paultagjust saying that goverments should be scared of their people13:11
paultagnot the other way around13:11
PiciFrom what I've gathered they're no longer rioting due to any particular reason.13:12
paultagPici: that's how it always goes :)13:12
PiciAnd is not like they're directing their anger at the government, they're destroying their fellow citizens homes and businesses.13:12
paultagPici: again, not advocating what they're doing directly13:13
paultagwhat they're doing kinda sucks13:13
paultagbut the idea that people have the balls to stand up to their goverment rules13:13
paultagso that's how I like to see it, even if it's not true13:13
czajkowskipaultag: its not true at all, thry are not even standimg up to thr government justnran sacking places for nonreason othern than theybwant  new tv or phone13:15
paultagI don't think you're reading what I'm saying :)13:16
paultagI like the idea of rioting13:16
* duanedesign waves at paultag 15:00
paultagduanedesign: heyya man15:00
AlanBellthe rioting is utterly without merit, just vandalism15:04
paultagduanedesign: how've you been?15:05
* nigelb waves!15:08
nigelbHow's everyone15:08
duanedesignpaultag: doing pretty good. Counting the days till I get my new laptop.15:08
duanedesignhello nigelb15:08
nigelbduanedesign: mac? ;)15:08
duanedesignha!15:09
duanedesign:)15:09
nigelbWell, its worth buying for the hardware, tbh.15:09
duanedesignAFter reading all the latest about the apple lawsuits trying to squash Android it would be hard for me to buy from apple15:10
duanedesignnigelb: i agreee. I used macs exclusively for years, until I started using Linux15:10
nigelbThe next best is probably Thinkpad15:10
duanedesignnigelb: yeah, that is what i ordered15:10
nigelbduanedesign: hehe :D15:11
duanedesignalmost got a System76 it was close15:11
paultagduanedesign: nice :)15:11
head_victimThe system76's look nice, wish they posted over here to AU15:11
head_victimI got a little look from an overseas visitor15:12
duanedesignthe system76 has the hard drive caddy option which would be awesome.15:14
nigelbpaultag: Someone on the local python mailing list wants to write an operating system in python.15:17
nigelbI'm still laughing15:17
paultagnigelb: I came ->||<- this close to actually doing that15:18
nigelbpaultag: guess what the first reply is?15:18
paultagnigelb: I figured out a way to do it, and had the chance to do it for school credit15:18
paultagnigelb: what?15:18
nigelb"Why are you not doing it in ruby?"15:18
paultaghaha15:18
paultagnigelb: but yeah, it's actually doable15:19
paultagnigelb: the kernel anyway15:19
nigelbI know people who've done filesystems in python15:19
paultagand I think if you get the kernel right, you should be able to layer pyPy over it15:19
nigelbNot the entire OS though.15:19
paultagnigelb: well there's a line15:19
paultagnigelb: because python can't be run on the CPU you need to port the runtime to a kernelspace tool15:20
paultagnigelb: but you can do stuff like the implementation of malloc etc in Python15:20
paultagso it's really a layered design with kernel-level priv'd python15:20
paultagended up writing the kernel in asm + c insted15:21
paultagI'm lame I know15:21
nigelbdude, you got a computer/machine to boot with a kernel you wrote. That is *NOT* lame.15:22
paultagyeah, but it's so traditional ;)15:22
nigelbpaultag: Honestly, I prefer traditional and stable over new and breaking in unknown ways.15:23
nigelbI still love postgres/mysql over nosql.15:24
paultagnigelb: then you use BSD :)15:24
paultagnigelb: no reason to write a new kernel if you don't want new and brekey15:24
* pleia2 makes toast with jam for breakfast, because of randall's blog posts16:26
pleia2such yummy jam pictures16:26
mhall119paultag: have you looked at Singularity?16:26
paultagmhall119: yeah17:00
paultagmhall119: it's cute17:00
paultagbut nothing else17:00
paultagand MS, so short-sighted :)17:00
mhall119the fact that the kernel is mostly written in a bytecode language was interesting17:06
mhall119I couldn't ever get it to run though17:06
mhall119they had disabled a part of the kernel needed to boot it up in virtualbox, and I couldn't re-compile the Sing# files in Mono to re-enable it17:08
