| Atamira | morena | 20:29 |

| ajmitch | from the look of things, dunedin missed most of the fun weather again | 20:55 |
| thumper | morning | 21:05 |
| hads | ibeardslee: None really, DVB cards just dump an MPEG stream to disk. | 21:05 |
| hads | or to whatever. | 21:05 |
| mwhudson | morning | 21:21 |
| kcj | Morning. | 22:17 |
| snail | morning | 22:22 |
| ojwb | morning | 23:37 |
| chilts | anyone seen the sun yet? or even venus? | 23:46 |
| chilts | fmarier: you probably have? | 23:46 |
| chilts | thumper: how about down south? | 23:46 |
| chilts | Wellington is grotty | 23:46 |
| thumper | yep | 23:46 |
| thumper | clear skies here | 23:46 |
| thumper | seen the small dot that is venus | 23:46 |
| thumper | the only thing I can say is "seen it" | 23:47 |
| thumper | not overly exciting | 23:47 |
| fmarier | chilts: cloudly here too :( | 23:47 |
| * ajmitch should go out & stare at the sun for a bit | 23:47 | |
| ojwb | is it normal for ISP to charge you a substantial amount for moving house? | 23:48 |
| ojwb | it seems it's cheaper to get a new ISP at the new house, which doesn't make much commercial sense | 23:48 |
| ojwb | or do they usually waive it if prodded | 23:48 |
| chilts | thumper: lucky you :) | 23:50 |
| chilts | I'll have to wait for my next life | 23:50 |
| chilts | ojwb: when TelstraClear wanted to charge me for moving, I said I'll quit and then reconnect for free | 23:50 |
| chilts | they said they'll waive the fee | 23:50 |
| chilts | I had it out with them for about 15 mins on the phone | 23:50 |
| chilts | just threaten to leave and they'll waive it | 23:50 |
| chilts | they charge you since they think they can get away with it - don't let them :) | 23:51 |
| ojwb | ok, i suspected as much | 23:52 |
| ojwb | also seems they charge you for *moving to them from a different ISP* | 23:52 |
| ojwb | which similarly seems a bad commercial idea | 23:52 |
| ajmitch | wasn't part of that set by the commerce commission? | 23:52 |
| mwhudson | i hope if vodafone do buy telstraclear, they fire the entire customer support wing | 23:53 |
| chilts | I hope vodafone don't buy TelstraClear, since Vodafone are shit themselves | 23:53 |
| mwhudson | well | 23:53 |
| mwhudson | they're an isp/telco | 23:54 |
| mwhudson | of course they're rubbish | 23:54 |
| mwhudson | but i had much better interactions with voda support than telstraclear | 23:54 |
| ojwb | when we had TC cable about 4 years ago, they seemed incompetent but good at fixing it | 23:55 |
| ojwb | like a wiring charge would appear on the bill despite us declining to take it, and they'd fix it quickly | 23:55 |
| ojwb | seems somehow appropriate that the transit of venus is hidden behind thick clouds | 23:58 |
| ajmitch | perhaps for your part of the country | 23:58 |
