[03:37] <holstein> len-dt: thats what i was thinking
[03:37] <holstein> might seem slower actually, instead of faster
[03:38] <holstein> i think folks read the term "realtime" and want a piece of it.. like its going to speed their machine up
[03:43] <len-dt> holstein, its all a matter of what the machine is focusing on. Give it less to focus on and it will be faster...
[12:29] <smartboyhw> Hi zequence. how's it going?
[14:08] <zequence> smartboyhw: fine. just recovered from the flu
[14:08] <zequence> you?
[14:09] <smartboyhw> zequence, you got a flu!?!?!? Thats
[14:09] <smartboyhw> bad
[14:09] <smartboyhw> I'm better (for now). Got too busy with tests the past 5 days
[14:09] <zequence> I was never very sick, but stayed home to not make others sick
[14:09] <zequence> Bad thing is I can't exercise so much when I'm sick
[14:09] <smartboyhw> zequence, oh OK
[14:10] <zequence> I usually go running or cycling almost every day
[14:10] <smartboyhw> zequence, so hmm I looked at the whole pile of "You want Alpha 1 or not?" emails, and it seems Alpha 1 won't even exist!!!!
[14:10] <zequence> It would exist for those who want it
[14:10] <zequence> I think Kubuntu might be the only ones interested in that
[14:11] <smartboyhw> zequence, yeah. Even Edubuntu quit (I thought Edubuntu was the only one interested:P)
[14:11]  * smartboyhw goes to look at the UDS pads
[14:12] <smartboyhw> I painfully discover that the pad is missing:P
[14:12] <smartboyhw> Not missing, but the whole UDS-R disappeared
[15:08]  * smartboyhw is very unhappy that Xfce still can't approve a Chinese (Hong Kong) translation team after 3 weeks, with enough people supporting this already
[21:31] <astraljava> zequence: If it's only flu, though, you will not be making others sick any easier than when you're healthy. It's a misconception, albeit a very common one at that.
[21:31] <astraljava> A stomach flu, though, is a whole 'nother bomb. :)
[21:42] <zequence> astraljava: I'm pretty sure you're infectious, especially in the early stages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza#Mechanism
[21:47] <astraljava> zequence: Well, you can be spreading it few days before you feel you're sick, or several days after. But yeah ok, cutting a few days off of, say, ten, might still make a difference. :)
[21:51] <zequence> You're the most infections at the beginning. It's hard to avoid infecting people before feeling symptoms. In my case, there might have been one day when I was doing that. 
[21:52] <zequence> After the body has started to get a hold of the virus, you may still have a runny nose, but you aren't even nearly as infectious
[21:52] <zequence> By Monday, I won't be
[21:53] <zequence> I was staying at home for two reasons really. One because of sickness. Two, I had the chance to take care of other things
[21:55] <zequence> In Sweden we can stay home from work up to one week at a time, without a doctors report
[21:55] <astraljava> Yes, that's actually my main reason to stay home whenever I feel sick the slightest. :)
[21:55] <zequence> I know in Finland, it's a little harder :)
[21:55] <astraljava> Here that's only three days.
[21:55] <astraljava> Yeah.
[21:56] <zequence> When I worked in Finland, I had to show evidence of sickness on the first day
[21:56] <zequence> This was a summer job at VR
[21:56] <zequence> I was cleaning trains, and making beds
[21:56] <astraljava> Ok, it might be tougher for temps.
[21:56] <zequence> 2003, I think it was
