[07:21] < vmlemon_> Hi

[07:28] < vmlemon_> What a fun morning :(

[07:35] *** MS- has joined #kamaelia

[07:35] < MS-> Greetings from snowy manchester!

[08:30] < aa_> greetings from snowy southampton

[09:12] *** Uraeus has joined #kamaelia

[10:13] *** SamHasler has joined #kamaelia

[10:40] *** vmlemon_ has joined #kamaelia

[10:40] < vmlemon_> Hi

[11:55] < MS-> Still snowing

[11:55] < MS-> :)

[12:16] *** Davbo has joined #kamaelia

[12:18] *** MS- throws a snowball at Davbo

[12:20] *** Davbo retaliates!

[12:29] < Davbo> I need to write a CV, any tips?

[12:46] < MS-> http://tinyurl.com/d7fsw5

[13:00] < Davbo> gee thanks MS-, hadn't thought of that :-)

[13:05] *** vmlemon_ has joined #kamaelia

[13:15] < MS-> Davbo: You hadn't? Cool. I live but to enlighten those that live a life of intellectual darkness and despair. In other news, it's snowing today :)

[13:16] < Davbo> Just started snowing again here, might go out and take some pictures

[13:16] < Davbo> Going to use my need for a CV as an excuse to learn a bit of LaTeX too

[13:18] < MS-> I use open office personally, at least last time I needed a CV in earnest I did

[13:18] < MS-> which is a fair while back

[13:20] < vmlemon_> Hi

[13:21] < Davbo> I usually do but reading some things about LaTeX recently, thought i'd have a look

[13:24] < Davbo> Hi vmlemon_

[13:25] < MS-> Last time I use LaTeX in earnest I hacked a more friendly syntax onto the front

[13:26] < MS-> Meant I could actually read the text I was writing

[13:26] < MS-> You may also want to be aware that wysiwyg leads to better writing

[13:26] < MS-> (based on psychological studies)

[13:27] < vmlemon_> Hmm, is there anything positive about snow?

[13:27] < MS-> cf: http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/06-steven-goteborg/

[13:27] < MS-> vmlemon_: Is there anything negative about snow?

[13:28] < vmlemon_> Plenty

[13:28] < vmlemon_> of thingds

[13:28] < vmlemon_> *things

[13:28] < vmlemon_> Even

[13:28] < MS-> name 1000

[13:28] < MS-> :-D

[13:28] *** MS- goes out into snow biab

[13:28] < vmlemon_> Heh, I can't do 1000 although I could probably name 3 or 4 things

[13:29] < vmlemon_> It's cold, it's slippery and icky, and it's an absolute nightmare to walk in

[14:09] *** vmlemon_ has joined #kamaelia

[14:12] < MS-> but you can make snowmen from it

[14:23] < Davbo> I wish they didn't call them GeekUp's

[14:23] < MS-> Davbo: Likewise

[14:23] < Davbo> I bet they'd be surprised by how many people that puts off the idea of attending

[14:24] < MS-> Indeed

[14:24] < MS-> It'd be clearer if they called it "wankr"

[14:24] < Davbo> someone has asked me to circulate an email invite around DCS

[14:24] < Davbo> nobody will be interested in something called GeekUp

[14:25] < MS-> Did you point out that to the average person http://www.parm.net/web2.0/ == http://geekup.org/

[14:25] < Davbo> + forwarded emails just get ignored by default

[14:25] *** MS- nods

[14:25] < Davbo> Hah excellent

[14:27] < aa_> sphinx generates beautiful latex btw

[14:27] < aa_> and html, so you can have an online/offline cv quite nicely

[14:27] < Davbo> thats the Python documentation thingy?

[14:27] < aa_> yeap

[14:28] < Davbo> thanks aa_

[14:28] < aa_> (might not be a good fit for you)

[14:28] < MS-> I used to do an online CV, but I don't think I would these days, simply because it's asking for it in terms of identity theft

[14:28] < aa_> MS-: and you are famous anyway :P

[14:29] < aa_> but yeah, blank out anything that is useful :)

[14:29] *** Davbo nods

[14:36] < Davbo> MS-, to be brutally honest I think GeekUp wants to be http://www.parm.net/web2.0/ but doesn't quite manage even that.

[14:37] < Davbo> there are some nice people though :)

[14:37] < MS-> aa_: I'm not famous :)

[14:37] < MS-> aa_: blanking out useful stuff results in a nondescript thing, so I see little point of a web CV these days :)

[14:38] < MS-> Davbo: indeed

[14:38] < MS-> Most of the people at geekup / on the list are nice people
