Walexthe convention of IRC is that it is always "morning" when you join, and "evening" when you leave, regardless of your actual timezone and local time. Probably the quotes around "morning" and "evening" in that sense are needed :-).11:00
lordievaderWalex: Really, that is news to me. For my years of IRC it was always simply "good $timeofday", where $timeofday was localized.11:11
guivercI just use the aussie colloquialism (spel?) and say G'day  (means I don't need to think)11:36
Walexlordievader: it is a relatively reent convention http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html12:20
lordievaderInteresting concepts. Gives "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey" time a whole new meaning12:30
Walexlordievader: it could be based on the Douglas Adams principle "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.", as if lunchtime is an illusion, morning and evening times can well be subjective :-)12:37
* Walex is not totally persuaded by the "everything is relative" argument though :-)12:38
lordievaderYeah, that is a nice fit too12:39
Walexas to that, one of the few advantages of working from home for ubuntu server sysadmins is that lunchtime has become less of an illusion, and "sandwichtime while standing in front a rack" more a of a memory :-)12:40
Walex[VMGuy23]: "I have Windows and Ubuntu dual boot" if you have that it is quite easy to boot the MS-Windows partition into a VM under Ubuntu, the problem is the risk of gettin it wrong and booting twice into Ubuntu.12:43
UssatWat ?12:46
WalexUssat: the "root" filesystem can end shared by the real machine Ubuntu and the virtual machine Ubuntu.13:46
lordievaderThis is why I created a new mbr and linked my windows partition into it with device-mapper, before booting windows as a vm.14:12
[VMGuy23]Walex: doesn't the Windows license invalidate ater 4 hardware changes?19:04
Maik[VMGuy23]: that's offtopic and non Ubuntu related19:20
Maik!topic19:20
ubot5Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic19:20
[VMGuy23]Maik: It continued a conversation initiated by someone else about running a VM on ubuntu. It's ubuntu related19:21
MaikWindows lincense chatter isn't19:21
daftykinstechnically it was relevant19:21
daftykinsit was a follow on and related to running a native bare metal install but via virtualbox under 'buntu19:21
