<0> anyone familiar with this vxworks error: MGCP_TRANS_DeleteNodeFromTransContext():Delete Transaction Failed ipaddr
<1> google might be
<2> wtf.. my inbox i empty..
<3> no pr0n
<2> dogbert2: no -work-
<4> wlf
<1> wlfshmn: I can fill it up if you want
<2> Sunblade: I'm sure something will come along. ;)
<2> Sunblade: atleast 2.5h of my day is covered in meetings
<1> meetings bah
<2> first hour is a status meeting for a group which albeit I'm part of it, I do no work in it yet
<1> you know accounting software ****s ***, at least this crap does, to install this pos I need to uncheck "do no safe encrypted pages on disk" in ie, does that make sense ?
<2> other 1.5h is status for a group I -do- do work in. 20m or so will affect me, the rest probably not, but I need to sit off the time anyway
<1> I always try to avoid meetings or keep it as short as possible, it can be tiresome
<2> Sunblade: me too. imagine my joy when the manager of the group I don't do work in scheduled a daily 15 minute status meting..
<1> some people make a hobby of meeting
<5> wlfshmn: No work, huh? You can have some of mine: 79 pending tasks
<2> Demonen: I only had about 15, and all are pending verification of fixes
<2> Demonen: I'm attacking my rather short todo-list at the moment..
<2> Demonen: the first one beeing an analysis of a component that will probably result in me having to implement a custom DES-like algorithm for encrypting p***words..
<5> wlfshmn: have fun :P
<5> Our enduser All-in-one troubleshooter is sick today.
<2> Demonen: it means I'll be elbow deap in a win32 c++ component that hasn't been touched in a decade
<2> Demonen: hehe, so if I call HP and bitch enough to get to 3rd-line, I can bother -you- ;)
<5> Oh joy, I get to answer "When I press a button the action I want does not happen?"-type mail.
<5> No, you can't :P
<5> I'm not in the phone department.
<2> meh!
<5> Kept smashing phones, so I'm in email.
<2> Demonen: btw, I spent several hours trying to register a carepack the other day.. your product lables, and the websites and variou tools' use of p/n and s/n is awfully inconsistent ;)
<5> Yeah, it all sort of ****s. You should just call.
<5> The whole website is being replaced.
<2> Demonen: I would have, excep tit was the weekend ,)
<2> Demonen: what got me most was the fact that me entering an invalid product code resulted in a form telling me the s/n was wrong ;)
<2> anyway, it worked in the end
<5> Yeah, it's all very WTFish (thedailywtf-like) in the backend.
<5> All outsourced code is being re-written in-house now, I think.
<2> now I don't expect to have to bitch again until $diety forbid we actually have to use said agreement
<2> Demonen: hehe, nice ;)
<2> I still need ot call someone and check if one is actually allowed to touch a machine without voiding anything seriously
<5> What kind of computer is it?
<2> buisness pc, microatx
<5> Heh.
<2> dc5700 I think it was called
<5> Touching it, and a screwdriver, within 5 minutes of eachoter voids the warranty for that computer and the next three you buy :P
<2> Demonen: figured as much ,)
<5> (not quite that strict, but close)
<2> hey, it's that strange asian kid again..
<6> Evenin'
<4> Tron!
<6> Oh that's right, all clam up once I appear... oh hello Nanuq ;)
<4> Tron: busy for once ;)
<6> Nanuq: heheh
<4> Tron: updating crap on nirvana
<4> Tron: finally transitioning everything over to /opt
<6> Nanuq: I see. Welp, just had another boring day in japan.
<4> Tron: cool. I bet even the boring days are more exciting.
<6> Nanuq: Er.... no.
<6> Nanuq: We're in a state of limbo at the moment, staying for a few weeks at my wife's folk's place in hitachi, waiting for our stuff to get to the mountain cottage.
<4> Tron: So that's how the countryside is going for you?
<6> Nanuq: And I'm terminally bored.
<6> Nanuq: haven't moved to the countryside yet.
<2> Tron: Do what we all do when bored. Code!
<4> Tron: Hrm.. you've always been in cities?
<6> Nanuq: I really don't like staying with X or Y's parents for more than 4 days, then I fell like reaching for the axe. ;)
<2> Tron: You are in japan, there should be a geographical affinity for coding cool stuff
<4> wlfshmn: No, that's .fi.
<2> meh, .fi hasn't coded anything fun in ages
<2> Tron: That isn't a reason not to do it. It's a reason to renew your l33t skills
<2> Tron: You can always justify it as broadening your repetoir in preparation for jobhunting, if anyone asks ;)
<6> wlfshmn: Ironically enough, even if I wanted to code right now I couldn't, because there's all these boring family things to do, and since my 5 year old son isn't off to scholl every day he's pining constantly for attention.
<4> Tron: city?
<2> Tron: ah, yeah, I could see that as a distraction
<2> Tron: I suppose a cage is out of the question? ;)
<6> Nanuq: Sorry, I have been living in a village-type environment for about 20-25 years before going to London.
<6> wlfshmn: *grin*
<4> Tron: Oh okay.
<6> Nanuq: In fact, in Scotland, the place(s) where i used to live are quite similar to where we're moving to.
<4> Tron: When it comes to cities, Ottawa isn't exactly considered big. It's growing, but it's not big.
<4> Tron: I've never been to Toronto, but when you start seeing highways with a ****load of lanes.. that's a big city.
<2> Nanuq: I always considered ottawa a large city.. must be because I've never really visited it
<2> in fact, I've spent less than 20 minutes total on canadian soil ;)
<4> wlfshmn: it's a million only if you're really generous, and include Gatineau across the river
<4> wlfshmn: otherwise it's about 750K
<6> wlfshmn: Sometimes, I can see what the benefits of having stayed single would have been. Not nice thoughts considering my current circumstances, but thoughts that do pop into my head once in a while. ;)
<2> Tron: well, life is certainly -simpler- ;)
<4> Tron: I was hoping to see how your transition went. I could do with a bit of ruralisation, methinks.
<6> wlfshmn: **** yes.
<6> Nanuq: The house we're going to move to is basically just around the corner from the main town, so we're not going to be cut off from civilisation.
<2> Nanuq: I fear that if you move out of the city, you will be the crazy old man in the cottage that keep mailing bombs to people around the country
<6> Nanuq: I mean, 10 minutes walk around the mountain and you're in the town.
<4> Tron: I'm eyeing little squirty places with a population < 600
<4> wlfshmn: Why would you think that?
<4> wlfshmn: You're the one establishing a Canadian army base, one eBay purchase at a time.
<4> Tron: More curious.
<2> Nanuq: yeah.. they really do need to put C7s up on ebay. damn ebay policy ;)
<4> Tron: Like, why would someone think I'd do such a thing?
<6> Nanuq: NFI. I didn't say it, *points immediately to wlfshmn B)
<4> I'm not half as nuts as I'd like to be.
<2> Nanuq: You appear to be reclusive now. Moving to a small town doesn't sound like it would ***ist
<4> wlfshmn: Would seem more appropriate.
<6> wlfshmn: My weight is on a downward trend since moving here, btw ;)
<4> Tron: Fish and rice? ;)
<2> Tron: hehe ;)
<4> Tron: So much for Atkins. :)
<4> Tron: Yes yes I know, deja vu. You're not following that these days.
<2> "IT-systems role in successfull implementation of ITIL and SOX-compiant change control."
<2> dear god what drivvel
<4> I bet it's because Tron has yet to locate the liquor store.
<6> Nanuq: Actually, no, it's just that the eating method (chopsticks and little plates of various foddstuffs and you pick at each one at a time) means you actually give yourself a chance of feeling full up, rather than the western way of eating which is piling evrything onto one plate and gorging on it.
<4> Tron: Do we think it's as simple as that?
<6> Nanuq: I think so.
<4> Tron: It makes sense.
<6> Nanuq: I'm probably eating aout 30% less now than i did when i was in ondon.
<4> Tron: 30 minute lunch breaks at $work, and in school it was 15 minutes and they all shuffled you outside.
<4> Tron: So one learns to eat what one has, as quickly as one can.
<4> Tron: Makes sense.
<6> Nanuq: Aye, plus, also what i said above. Especially in the UK, we pile big wads of food onto one plate and eat so quickly that you don't give yourself a chance to feel full up.
<4> Tron: McD's drivethrus.. you've got a gigacalorie in your lap, and you want to get rid of that distraction ASAP.
<6> Nanuq: precisely.
<6> Plus here, the unhealthy snacks are all packaging and a tiny morsel inside. :)
<4> Tron: So itty bitty plates where you dish it out one at a time, more or less.. or some foods you ***emble yourself..
<6> So you buy what ooks to you like a BIG packet of Pocky, and inside are about 3 sticks of the stuff. ;)
<4> Tron: Heh, it's like a logic test. If you can open it, you can have it.
<4> Tron: I'm thinking about getting back on that whole weight loss wagon. At least I've not been gaining. :P
<4> Tron: What I need to do is get off my *** once in a while.
<2> I've been gaining.. I'm fatter than ever at the moment I'm afriad
<4> Tron: Anyway, if you think .uk is bad for piling, .us seems pretty bad, and what I've seen here, .ca isn't far off.
<6> Nanuq: Nah, you're given a little bowl, say, of rice, then in the center there's a plate containing beef teriyaki, and beside it another plate containing large lettuce leaves. You would in that case take a lettuce leaf, then take a slice of beef teriyaki, then wrap the beef up in the leaf and eat it. Then you'ld pick out a mouthfull of rice from the bowl. Then you'ld take a sip of miso soup. Repeat. Rinse. After a while you begin to feel your appetite sa
<4> Tron: cut off.. "feel your appetite sa"
<7> "sa..."?
<6> sated.
<4> sa va, merci.
<7> ah
<6> So as I said, you actually give your stomach a chance to say "enough! No more!".
<4> Tron: that, or the sheer tedium of it all.. ;)
<6> In Britain you'ld pile your plate up with your own supply of beef teriyaki, with a lare splodge of rice beside it, and a big wodge of lettuce, and you'ld gobble it all up before you knew what hit your tastebuds.
<6> Nanuq: it works anyways ;)
<4> Tron: Plus feel obliged to consume it all.
<6> Nanuq: Yep.
<4> Tron: Because there are starving kids in the world, don't ya know.
<6> Indeed.
<4> With irresponsible parents.
<8> hrmm
<8> I wonder how much a PC tech earns an hour
<6> Tsunami: Depends on the country and the currency and the particular type of "PC tech".
