[11:42] <@Calum> hey
[11:42] <@jacky> Calum: Hello
[11:42] <@jacky> what's new? .. much?
[11:42] <@jacky> :)
[11:42] <@Calum> hmm not really I guess
[11:42] <@Calum> you?
[11:43] <@jacky> nah... just noticed I have some emails waiting
[11:43] <@jacky> usually, they are in by this time of day
[11:45] * @Calum turns his music up
[11:45] <@Calum> sister is practising for her Christmas concert, sick of hearing the same song over and over hehe
[11:47] <@jacky> what does she play?
[11:47] <@Calum> guitar, and she sings
[11:47] <@jacky> is she doing both, now?
[11:47] <@Calum> yep
[11:47] <@jacky> hehe
[11:47] <@Calum> I mean she's good and all ... but hearing "Do they know it's Christmas" over and over is a bit much
[11:47] <@jacky> I give her credit... I wouldn't open my mouth and try to sing, where anybody could ever hear me. ... can't sing a bit.
[11:48] <@Calum> she's very shy, she doesn;t really like singing in front of people outside family
[11:48] <@Calum> she is really good though, and it's not just because I'm her brother :)
[11:48] <@jacky> then, if she keeps it up, the shyness will go away
[11:49] <@jacky> besides, she can't be "very shy" , else she'd never get up there in the first place
[11:49] <@jacky> hehehe
[11:49] <@Calum> yeah, she's much better than she used to be in terms of shyness
[11:49] <@jacky> human being can get used to anything
[11:49] <@jacky> good, or bad
[11:49] <@Calum> yeah truwe
[11:49] <@Calum> *truwe
[11:49] <@Calum> *true
[11:49] <@Calum> haha
[11:49] <@jacky> beings
[11:49] <@jacky> hehe
[11:49] <@jacky> human beings can get used to awful spelling too
[11:49] <@jacky> har
[11:50] <@Calum> heh
[11:56] <@jacky> I think you said you went back to using T-Bird
[11:56] <@jacky> and I see that there is a big, new version out
[11:56] <@jacky> doesn't do W98 though. :(
[11:56] <@Calum> oh, has v3 been released?
[11:56] <@jacky> looks like it
[11:56] <@Calum> ah ... I'll consider upgrading at some point then
[11:56] <@Calum> probably when I reinstall XP
[11:57] <@jacky> http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/3.0/releasenotes/
[11:57] <@jacky> if you care to read a bit about it
[11:57] <@Calum> cool, thanks
[11:59] <@Calum> yeah, I'll definitely check it out when I get around to doing a full reformat/reinstall
[11:59] <@jacky> need that soon?
[11:59] <@jacky> or..?
[11:59] <@Calum> way overdue heh
[11:59] <@jacky> oh?
[12:00] <@jacky> why's that?
[12:00] <@Calum> this was meant to be a temp install, been on it 4 months now
[12:00] <@Calum> messed around with it so much
[12:00] <@jacky> I sort of had the impression that XP didn't need to be reinstalled, like older versions did, ever so often, just to keep them working well.
[12:00] <@jacky> oh
[12:00] <@jacky> ok
[12:00] <@Calum> it doesn't NEED to be, but it's a good idea to anyway
[12:00] <@Calum> I would personally reformat/reinstall every year at least
[12:01] <@Calum> some people say longer, or shorter
[12:01] <@Calum> I think 6 months is a figure that is thrown around a lot...there's no need for that short a time though, imo
[12:01] <@jacky> not sure how old this 98 install is
[12:01] <@jacky> heck... not even sure how to tell
[12:01] <@jacky> hehehe
[12:02] <@Calum> heh
[12:02] <@Calum> oh! Slighlty on the same subject, although not really
[12:02] <@Calum> just wanted to tell you I found a laptop that I liked heh
[12:02] <@jacky> oh?
[12:02] <@jacky> I seem to recall
[12:02] <@jacky> you hate 'em all
[12:02] <@jacky> hehehe
[12:02] <@Calum> I did
[12:02] <@Calum> but then my neighbour brought round an absolute tank
[12:03] <@jacky> did you just "find" it? or did you buy it too?
[12:03] <@Calum> had an AMD K6 or K6-2 500MHz
[12:03] <@Calum> neighbour brought it for me to fix, the HDD gave up
[12:04] <@Calum> the actual laptop was a real tank, I loved the keyboard on it
[12:04] <@jacky> does it belong to you now?
[12:04] <@Calum> no unfortunately
[12:04] <@jacky> and.. won't that cpu limit it?
[12:04] <@jacky> meaning... it would be slow with XP and above?
[12:04] <@Calum> sure, and it only has a very little RAM too...but the specs aren't the point hehe
[12:04] <@Calum> I just loved the fact that it was so touch, and heavy, and the keyboard was amazing
[12:05] <@Calum> erm tough not touch
[12:05] <@jacky> cool
[12:05] <@jacky> brand name?
[12:05] <@jacky> maybe they still make something along those lines....
[12:05] <@Calum> "Tiny", later resurrected/rebranded many times as budget lines
[12:05] <@Calum> I think this was the original Tiny though
[12:05] <@jacky> never heard of it
[12:06] <@jacky> but that doesn't mean much....
[12:06] <@Calum> UK brand
[12:06] <@jacky> ah
[12:08] <@Calum> I don't know who the original manufacturer was, didn;t dig far enough
[12:08] <@Calum> also couldn;t find much info on the web about the specific model
[12:08] <@jacky> ah well...
[12:08] <@jacky> maybe somebody makes one like it
[12:08] <@jacky> search on that... "similar to ______ "
[12:09] <@Calum> heh
[12:09] <@Calum> I still prefer my desktop
[12:09] <@Calum> much heavier and more solid :)
[12:10] <@jacky> I tend to agree
[12:10] <@jacky> depends on what tool you need, to get the job done though
[12:10] <@jacky> just like so many things.
[12:11] <@Calum> true

[13:07] <Mulreay> Hello everyone
[13:07] <@jacky> Mulreay: Hello
[13:08] <Mulreay> Hi jacky
[13:08] <Mulreay> I've decided building a website is like pulling teeth!!
[13:09] <@jacky> heh
[13:09] <@jacky> never did it, so I can't really say
[13:09] <@Calum> hey mulreay
[13:09] <Mulreay> Yeah wish I never started
[13:09] <Mulreay> hi Calum
[13:09] <@Calum> yeah it can be difficult heh
[13:09] <Mulreay> It takes up 90% of my time..
[13:10] <Mulreay> And you soon find that you can't please everyone..
[13:10] <@Calum> initial setup can take a hell of a long time yeah
[13:10] <@Calum> and no, you can never pelase everyone
[13:11] <Mulreay> Came on here for a break hehe
[13:12] <@Calum> heh
[13:12] <Mulreay> Still all i can think is website website website
[13:12] <Mulreay> Need to get a web host next..
[13:13] <Mulreay> That's a tenner a month straight off
[13:13] <@Calum> Mulreay: stand by one sec
[13:13] <Mulreay> k
[13:13] <@Calum> http://servage.net/
[13:13] <@Calum> ?4.50 a month
[13:13] <Mulreay> cool
[13:13] <@Calum> apparently excellent, my friend uses them
[13:14] <@Calum> he had some coupons as well for extra discounts
[13:14] <Mulreay> looking now..
[13:14] <@Calum> when I next see him I'll ask if he still has some coupon codes....even if not I don't think you'll find cheaper
[13:15] <Mulreay> not for what you get... very interesting
[13:16] <Mulreay> just need to work out how I transfer my site over... it won't be until wed anyway..
[13:16] <@Calum> cool
[13:16] <@Calum> well by then I'll hopefully get chance to talk to him and ask
[13:17] <Mulreay> Yeah no big deal as it's still cheap. Don't go out of your way Calum
[13:17] <@Calum> I'll probably be seeing him anyway, if I do then I'll ask
[13:17] <@Calum> if not then you're right, it's still cheap
[13:17] <Mulreay> Thanks for that link though Calum, much appreciated :)
[13:17] <@Calum> you're welcome
[13:18] <@Calum> glad you can put it to use :)
[13:18] <Mulreay> Yeah definately will do..
[13:18] <Mulreay> Ahh it says I can transfer my domain for free so that's one issue solved
[13:19] <@Calum> cool
[13:23] <Mulreay> The more I read the more I like... seriously thanks for that you saved me a lot of messing around. See everything happens for a reason, I come on here to think about something other than my site and I find a great link to help it.
[13:24] <Mulreay> What happened to chanbot by the way?
[13:24] <@Calum> heh you're welcome
[13:25] <@Calum> and Chanbot was on my hardware which has now been turned into a media centre PC
[13:25] <Mulreay> cool
[13:25] <@Calum> ChanbotII is now up and running though thanks to jacky and craig
[13:26] <@jacky> the other day, something came to mind, that I remembered that I needed to do, with ChanbotII, and now it escapes me
[13:26] <@jacky> it was not major...
[13:26] <@jacky> but, if anyone notices something, please do let me know
[13:26] <@jacky> :)
[13:26] <@Calum> heh, sure
[13:26] <Mulreay> I will need to get dangerbot up on a server at some point... no idea how to do that like but should be fun... can't have people abusing the site chatroom
[13:27] <@jacky> Mulreay: you can try to find a free shell.... that would linux though
[13:27] <@jacky> you can buy space from Tux
[13:27] <@jacky> I think he does it cheap
[13:27] <@jacky> that would be linux
[13:27] <@jacky> not sure about craig, if he would rent you a shell account or not
[13:27] <@jacky> you could ask
[13:27] <@jacky> that would be Windows
[13:28] <@jacky> there's some ideas for you, for place to host your bot
[13:28] <@jacky> :)
[13:28] <Mulreay> Windows is best.. I'm a linux virgin :p
[13:28] <@jacky> not sure if craig is even set up for it
[13:28] <@jacky> you could ask
[13:28] <@jacky> or... ask Glitch
[13:28] <Mulreay> yeah worth keeping in mind
[13:28] <@jacky> Calum: isn't Glitch's host a Windows host?
[13:28] <@jacky> wherever he rents his space...?
[13:28] <@Calum> jacky: unsure
[13:28] <Mulreay> Mmm not sure about Glitch..
[13:29] <@jacky> Mulreay: ok.. not sure then, if Glitch would know of a Windows host site
[13:29] <@Calum> not sure if he can even run stuff like bots on it though
[13:29] <@jacky> then again, I doubt it would....
[13:29] <@jacky> great minds...
[13:29] <Mulreay> heh
[13:30] <Mulreay> Ok all I need now is someone to tile my kitchen floor...
[13:30] <@Calum> hehe half my family are builders/odd job guys
[13:30] <@Calum> I'll send 'em your way
[13:31] <Mulreay> yeah do..
[13:31] <Mulreay> I actually am serious I need a tiler so if you know one willing to travel from Derby to Mcr then give me a contact number.
[13:32] <@Calum> I'll see what my family are up to, I know they were pretty busy but I'll ask around
[13:32] <Mulreay> Yeah no rush
[13:32] <@jacky> I know one.
[13:32] <@jacky> will you pay his travel time?
[13:32] <@jacky> <g>
[13:33] <Mulreay> jacky you may be a little further a field :)
[13:33] <@jacky> hehehe

[13:36] * jacky (the_kink@mib-665CFE6A.slsbmd.east.verizon.net) has left #glitchpc
[13:40] <@Calum> hmm I just tried to go to the website of Next, you know the store? And next.com leads to apple.com, for some reason hehe
[13:40] <@Calum> next.co.uk is the right link in case you need to know
[13:41] <Mulreay> heh I know next yeah.. weird it went to apple??
[13:41] <@Calum> yeah I didn;t know if it was .com or .co.uk
[13:41] <@Calum> but next.com goes to Apple
[13:41] <@Calum> next.co.uk does go to next
[13:42] <@Calum> oh my ... http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/men/search/45/1?extra=sch&n=men
[13:42] <@Calum> ?60???
[13:42] <Mulreay> let me have a look...
[13:43] <@Calum> it's just stainless steel too, not even silver or anything...wow, I guess some people just go mad for the brand name heh
[13:43] <Mulreay> That's rediculous... tell me your not buying that..
[13:43] <Mulreay> ridiculous*
[13:44] <@Calum> I'm getting two in case I lose one ;)
[13:44] <@Calum> no of course not
[13:44] <Mulreay> Heh I would of taken you down a peg or two in respect if you had.. heh
[13:44] <@Calum> heh I'm not that much of a sucker
[13:45] <@Calum> I just wanted a new chain and I thought I'd check out Next for a change, they sometimes have some decent stuff
[13:45] <Mulreay> I did not think so
[13:45] <Mulreay> What kind of chain?
[13:45] <@Calum> either just a standard chain, nothing on it, or some kind of pendant or charm or whatever you want to call it
[13:45] <@Calum> nothing fancy
[13:46] <Mulreay> Gold silver?
[13:46] <@Calum> was thinking more steel hehe
[13:46] <@Calum> gold/silver's a bit expensive for me
[13:46] <Mulreay> heh
[13:47] <Mulreay> I have a silver curb chain you can have..
[13:47] <Mulreay> Atleast I did have... mmm not sure where it is
[13:48] <@Calum> heh
[13:48] <@Calum> I just had to google curb chain haha
[13:48] <Mulreay> heh
[13:49] <@Calum> I think what I'm wearing now is a curb chain, a very small/thin one
[13:49] <@Calum> black stainless steel, like I said nothing fancy, think it was about a fiver
[13:49] <Mulreay> found it heh
[13:49] <@Calum> heh
[13:50] <@Calum> I'll probably take a look in Derby on Saturday, got to go jewellery shopping anyway...yawn
[13:52] <Mulreay> Unlucky you..
[13:52] <@Calum> yeah I know...got my sister to come with me haha, no chance of me picking out something on my own
[13:52] <@Calum> not shopping for myself just so you know
[13:53] <Mulreay> heh
