[08:13] < MS-> greetings

[08:13] < MS-> aa_: Manchester in fact :) (in reply to your tweet)

[08:13] < MS-> Looks like they're breaking the trams completely in August.

[12:37] < MS-> debugging a work colleague's Kamaelia based system

[12:48] < Lawouach> fun or no fun ?

[12:53] < MS-> Quite fun actually. It's actually tracking down a resource leak, but it's an interesting systems

[12:53] < MS-> It's a system that reads video frames from a DVS video capture card (the kind of thing you plug a broadcast camera into), and serves it out to clients

[12:54] < MS-> Also appears to write whole frames to disk as well - so it's presumably for use in wiring up broadcast video cameras over IP

[12:54] < MS-> which is neat

[12:55] < MS-> Also appears to integrate with pyro for remote control AFAICT

[12:56] < MS-> There's somethings that are very kamaelia like, but that's understandable because I think it was a non-kamaelia program beforehand, and he's used K to give it some structure in a nicer way

[12:58] < MS-> Quite pleased with the bugfix from the weekend in the CSA

[12:59] < MS-> The greylister code is now stable. It also has a resource leak of a few meg a day, so I'll probably plug in an interactive interpreter to make it easier to find that bug

[13:00] < MS-> Rummaging around inside the internals of a running mail server should be interesting :)

[13:03] < Lawouach> :)

[13:22] < MS-> ok, back in a bit :)

[13:23] < MS-> cya

[15:44] < vmlemon_1> *Hi

[15:44] < vmlemon_1> Even

[16:56] *** Davbo has joined #kamaelia

[17:02] < vmlemon_1> Hi Davbo

[17:07] < Davbo> Hey vmlemon_1

[17:13] *** MS- has joined #kamaelia

[17:13] < MS-> evening

[17:40] < Davbo> evenin' MS-

[17:50] < Davbo> walked out of my first meeting with dissertation supervisor with a book on learning C..

[17:51] *** Davbo may have made a terrible mistake.

[17:51] < vmlemon_1> Heh

[17:52] < vmlemon_1> Still, there are things that are much worse than C ;)

[17:52] < vmlemon_1> Java and VisualBASIC come to mind

[17:54] < Davbo> on the upside it's related to grid computing so I get about 80cpu's to play with

[17:54] < vmlemon_1> Cool

[17:55] *** vmlemon_1 wonders how Kamaelia would scale on that sort of kit

[17:55] *** Davbo will find out

[17:55] < Davbo> :)

[17:55] < Davbo> need to write a test suite for testing different file access strategies and file systems

[17:56] < vmlemon_1> There's always Bonnie++...

[17:56] < Davbo> in over my head but that's the idea of these things i believe

[17:57] < vmlemon_1> Meh, my connectivity seems craptastic right now

[17:57] < Davbo> not heard of this bonnie vmlemon_1, thanks

[17:57] < vmlemon_1> No problem

[17:59] < Davbo> i got the 3 skypephone last week

[17:59] < vmlemon_1> Any good?

[17:59] < Davbo> hsdpa seems hit and miss

[17:59] *** Lawouach has joined #kamaelia

[17:59] < Davbo> it's cool, had my old phone for about 5 years

[18:00] < Davbo> skype is nice though, mostly used it as an IM client with friends though

[18:01] < Davbo> + it's cheap

[18:01] < Davbo> hey Lawouach

[18:01] < vmlemon_1> Weren't 3 supposedly offering "Free Skype Access" or something like that, a while ago?

[18:01] < Davbo> Yeah, they are

[18:02] < vmlemon_1> I got an SMS earlier claiming that they're now offering free SMSes or Internet access, or some other service a few days ago

[18:02] < Davbo> not sure about that

[18:02] < vmlemon_1> A far cry from when the only Internet access on 3 was none at all, other than their proprietary content portal

[18:03] < Davbo> I can use Skype all day for free but then browse to facebook and it cost me 15p

[18:03] < vmlemon_1> "From 3: From 1 June, you'll get free texts and free internet with every top-up. Use the free link to see your new price plan http://mobile5.three.co.uk/sdf/3pay"

[18:03] < vmlemon_1> (Of course, the link only works if you happen to be connected to the Internet through 3)

[18:03] < Lawouach> hi guys

[18:04] < vmlemon_1> Hi Lawouach

[18:06] < vmlemon_1> Heh, I'm sure I saw another person using Twitter at college, for the first time ever, earlier on today

[18:06] < vmlemon_1> Everyone seems to either use FaceBook, or nothing at all

[18:07] < Davbo> Twitter is quite popular now here

[18:07] < vmlemon_1> Interesting

[18:08] < vmlemon_1> I can't remember the last time I actually looked for anyone there on it, or anyone looked for me there, for what it's worth, though

[18:08] < vmlemon_1> (FB that is)

[18:09] < vmlemon_1> Still haven't seen any GMail users

[18:09] < Davbo> Yeah even in Computer Science there are a lot of people which use Hotmail for some reason

[18:09] < vmlemon_1> Surprisingly, Yahoo! Mail seems to be pretty popular, although of course, Hotmail still gets used a lot

[18:12] < Davbo> although a lot of people don't seem to "get" twitter

[18:12] < Davbo> http://twitter.com/filmunit prime example

[18:12] < vmlemon_1> Yeah, I've noticed that

[18:12] < vmlemon_1> Heh, they've protected their microblog, how quaint

[18:13] < Davbo> indeed

[18:14] < vmlemon_1> I've never really understood the rationale behind using "protection" features, except for folks in very specific circumstances

[18:16] < Davbo> impressive! http://www.flickr.com/photos/quasimondo/3518306770/in/photostream/

[18:17] < vmlemon_1> I would have thought that the "Sheffield University Students' Union Cinema" club would have wanted to attract interest to themselves

[18:17] < vmlemon_1> Cool

[18:18] < Davbo> they do on the union website and on posters around the campus, but as I said, they don't "get" twitter

[18:19] < vmlemon_1> There's always Base64-over-Twitter, although that usually exceeds the character limit

[18:19] *** vmlemon_1 likes the Google LangMang "translation" of the image text, posted by mikeg626

[18:21] < Davbo> hehe

[18:21] < Davbo> nice poem

[18:22] < vmlemon_1> Engrish 2.0 comes to mind
