<0> K_F: you got a gym locally?
<1> I'm not in good enough shape to train at sats ;)
<2> whyzzyrd: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article1600825.ece
<2> hurricane
<2> http://cache.aftenposten.no/multimedia/archive/00501/_9m_jpg_501391s.jpg
<1> K_F: I walked to the gas station to get some food a few minutes ago, and on the way there was one torn down construction fence, a couple of toppled streetsigns, a smashed tourist information boards and the g***tation was missing one of it's flag poles ,)
<0> K_F: They closed a local road bridge last week, the lampposts blew over.
<2> whyzzyrd: what gets most focus though is an oil tanker that grounded and flooded due to drift
<3> awh.. sounds exciting wlfshmn
<2> http://cache.aftenposten.no/multimedia/archive/00501/HAVARI__098495_jpg_501179g.jpg
<1> K_F: We are currently at 2 dead and 260000 without power from the storm
<4> eww
<2> think you are up to 3 with the 9 year old today
<3> is that supposed to be a boat kf?
<0> mikaa: that *was* a boat.
<3> ewh
<1> K_F: most train trafic except eastbound around gothenbrug is suspended, all trafic with the islands is cancelled, one of the two bridges over the river is clsoed du to wind and the tram network is severly reduced due to powerline trouble
<2> its "lenses" trying to stop the oil from spreading
<2> http://cache.aftenposten.no/multimedia/archive/00501/_OLD028166_jpg_501267s.jpg
<3> mm
<2> wlfshmn: so I read.
<1> K_F: news here said that oilspill actually was helped by the strong weather..
<2> wlfshmn: well, 1) without it it might not have happened
<3> I like storm.. but if people die because of it..
<2> but 2) yes, it does stop it from coming to shore too fast
<1> mikaa: there are category 1 hurricane winds (32m/s+). I think I saw a measurement on top of the bridge they closed of gales of 44m/s winds
<3> awh
<1> mikaa: atleast it stopped raining ,)
<2> after the storm comes the sun
<2> had a great day here part of the day, clear blue sky
<3> did your houses come through the storm well?
<2> mikaa: worst one was new years eve into the year 1992
<2> mikaa: not had anything comparable in norway (west coast at least) since
<3> ah
<1> mikaa: no problems with my building. there have ben others damaged, but mostly things like sports arenas and the like, where the wind can get in under stuff
<2> and poor cars parked outside
<3> yes..
<2> ... although I can't actually _use_ it
<0> we've only had up to 70mph, which is about the 32m/s mark
<3> ;) but at least it's safe
<0> K_F: why can't you use it?
<2> whyzzyrd: suspended license
<0> K_F: how long?
<2> 3-6 mth
<3> I was on this little boat once, with a coulpe as cars on it as well. then it started to storm and some guy cared about his car so much that he sat in it.. so if it would go overboard he would come allong
<1> K_F: time to start slowing down a bit? ;)
<0> mikaa: then that guy was an absoulte idiot.
<2> wlfshmn: or for them to up the limits
<3> I agree
<0> K_F: how many times do you need to get caught before they'll suspend your license like that?
<0> K_F: and aren't the fines over there something fscking awful?
<2> whyzzyrd: was an 80 kph zone, so license gets suspended at 116kph and above
<2> whyzzyrd: and I get a 1600 USD fine or so
<5> linux it's free?
<2> or, ticket..
<0> K_F: and you were going *how* fast then?
<1> coolbyte: linux itself, yes. Not all distributions are though
<2> 125-ish when he measured me
<5> wher can i download a free edition
<6> coolbyte: www.distrowatch.org
<0> K_F: and he was bastard enough not to say, hmm, that looks like 115, here's a big fine?
<5> k
<2> whyzzyrd: yeah, "thats what I measured and thats what I write"
<7> K_F: stop mixing and matching units. either do stuff in foreign form KPH and ****.. or the right form.. MPH and USD :)
<2> safemode: hehe, iirc 125 is about 78 mph
<0> K_F: ach well. can't change it now.
<0> K_F: aye, somewhere near that.
<2> whyzzyrd: I'm taking it with utmost patience, I've always taken the bus to work as I don't bother finding parking and I walk to school
<2> whyzzyrd: but I rushed the watch-order to comfort me, though :p
<0> K_F: watch-order?
<3> you just used your car to drive fast for fun? ;)
<2> whyzzyrd: http://www3.kfwebs.net/clock.png
<7> why the hell is there no repository for iwpriv arguments for madwifi and other wireless card settings.. A central place where people put in what they use to get the highest SNR possible
<0> K_F: hmm, nice. I never spend much money on watches, given I destroy them doing things.
<0> K_F: I have an omega seamaster though, but I was given it b0rk, and fixed it.
<2> whyzzyrd: the watch I have on my hand now is actually older than myself, but it is a quartz though
<1> normal people find quartz perfectly acceptable ;)
<0> K_F: my last watch's face got cracked when I was under a building.
<2> whyzzyrd: ouch
<2> whyzzyrd: anyways, I'm insuring it
<8> K_F: hi!
<2> http://www.porsche-design.com/live/P6612_PGC_rosegold_Krokodillederband_en.PorscheDesign?ActiveID=41283
<0> wlfshmn: perfectly. You have to have a very decent mechanical watch to keep good time.
<3> why did you go under a building?
<2> heya yoz
<1> K_F: If you need to insure your watch separately, it's a good sign you spent way too damn much on it ;)
<2> wlfshmn: about 17k or so..
<0> wlfshmn: I've a nice old exactus incabloc watch, it keeps great time, is very slim, but I don't like wearing it too often, for fear of damaging it.
<9> KF is *rich*
<0> smsie: We never noticed.
<0> smsie: happy new year btw
<9> heya whyzzyrd :)
<1> K_F: NOK or USD?
<0> mikaa: was surveying a cable route for work.
<9> we should go party with K_F someday
<2> whyzzyrd: you cought that one.... latter
<2> well, I got a nice discount on it, but that is retail price anyways
<0> wlfshmn: you ought to know by now that K_F uses USD exclusively, NOK being too small for his purposes.
<1> PErsonally, spending more than 2, maybe 3k SEK on a watch feels retarded ;)
<2> got an insider hint about prices of watches jumping due to increase in gold prices
<3> ah
<2> so went up 20% a week after I ordered it
<3> arent there scary things like rats underneath houses whyzzyrd?
<9> who in their right mind would use USD for anything? It's not exactlyt stable right now...
<10> My watch is probably 12 years old
<2> smsie: you'd be welcome, as long as you brought some hot chicks
<0> mikaa: erm, sometimes. We have some buildings with rats in. Some of them even have offices *BOOM BOOM*.
<1> smsie: infact, the USD probably lsot another 5% since K_F mentioned that price ;)
<3> ;)
<9> haha
<1> K_F: if smsie had hot chicks to bring, he wouldn't be going partying with you ;)
<2> wlfshmn: fair point
<0> wlfshmn: if smsie had hot chicks, he'd be staying at home ;-p
<3> maybe smsie is a hot chick.. you never know
<1> whyzzyrd: yeah, that is my guess too ;)
<0> mikaa: maybe not too.
<3> ;)
<1> mikaa: I've seen smsie. He is enither hot, nor a chick
<3> well if there are hanks around, why wouldnt there be hot chickse pretending they are ugly guys?
<1> mikaa: If they are, they are probably FBI agents ;)
<3> mm.. could be yes
<11> Is anyone here with public keys for Fedora Core 6?
<6> PastorRon: that makes little sense. I'd suggest you goto the fedora website.
<0> mikaa: or just madly, and unexplainedly attracted to geeks.
<3> ;)
<11> Lion I am needing the public key for freetype-2.2.1-10.fc6.i386.rpm
<6> PastorRon: as I said; goto the fedora website.
<11> ok
<2> anyways, it is a business investment.. need to market myself to get access to some business arenas :)
<0> well, that put a lid on things then.
<0> K_F: How you can explain that buying an expensive watch gets you marketing yourself is beyond me.
<2> besides, i pay the same in insurance for my car for 2,3 years..
<6> hmm. the only thing which somewhat eludes me are deployment diagrams. But I'll postpone those to somewhere next month :)
<0> K_F: you pay *how much* insurance?
<2> whyzzyrd: actually had a nice discussion about it in Economic Sociology last week
<2> whyzzyrd: 41kNOK / year
<1> *cough*
<2> with a payback if no demage to the car when I turn 25 or whatever it is
<0> K_F: muck fee. I pay less than a fifteenth of that.
<1> .no isn't known for sane pricing though I suppose
<2> whyzzyrd: the quote doubled when they updated it from living in my home town to living in Oslo
<2> and I have a high-risk premium for being relatively young
<2> and for the same reason no aggregated rabate..
<1> K_F: Get a cottag ein the woods on the swedish side of the border, register and insure the car in .se ;)
<0> K_F: I've never paid over /yr, wherever I lived, and however young I was.
<2> whyzzyrd: Norway..... all there is to say..
<1> I think I paid about 100$/month in car insurance myself on a brand new license
<0> K_F: and I've largely had cars with engines => 2l.
<1> car wasn't worth much though, I suppsoe ,)
