[21:11] <BOfH> Anything interesting to report?
[21:11] <Bob_Plonker> ? means?
[21:11] <Jam> It's a question mark. It means that the sentance is a question
[21:11] <Bob_Plonker> Funsox sends his apologises, he's Internet has phased out again
[21:11] <NaPsTeR> good news is that my connection seems stable for a tinybit longer

[21:15] * Now talking in #bobsbasement
[21:15] * Topic is 'Bob's Basement | http://www.bobsbasement.co.uk | Don't feed the bot�'

[21:15] <Bob_Plonker> why was I kicked?
[21:15] <BOfH> Read the channel!
[21:16] <BOfH> For abusing poor, defencless little Jam
[21:16] * BOfH pats Jam
[21:17] <BOfH> Has anyone tried the talking IRC channel?
[21:17] <Bob_Plonker> Grow up
[21:17] <Bob_Plonker> Nope
[21:17] <BOfH> It's more fun not to
[21:17] <Bob_Plonker> bb-dev?
[21:18] <BOfH> No, #hvr
[21:18] <BOfH> It's the only channel with enough traffic to make it worth while
[21:19] <Bob_Plonker> you serious, there is talking in hvr!
[21:19] <Bob_Plonker> Anyway
[21:19] <Bob_Plonker> Napster you still up for getting a radio licence?
[21:19] <NaPsTeR> of course
[21:19] <BOfH> There's loads of stuff happening in #hvr
[21:20] <Bob_Plonker> What about scheduling our exam for three months?
[21:20] <Bob_Plonker> Plan a revision weekend leading up to it
[21:21] <Bob_Plonker> Also thinking of mini BB meets, around project members houses just to work on projects, rather than meeting at putney all the time, what do you think?
[21:21] <Bob_Plonker> hello
[21:22] <BOfH> Bob, you appear to be struggling with the concept of an agenda!
[21:22] * root_ has joined #bobsbasement
[21:22] <Bob_Plonker> hello root
[21:22] <root_> hello user
[21:22] <Bob_Plonker> After you BOfH
[21:22] * root_ is now known as NaPsTeR_
[21:22] <Bob_Plonker> hello you
[21:22] <BOfH> OK, since we seen to have started with exams
[21:22] <Bob_Plonker> OK
[21:22] <NaPsTeR_> anyhoo i think we need more that one revision
[21:22] <BOfH> How are we all getting on with the books?
[21:23] <NaPsTeR_> havent got one but im getting there
[21:23] <Bob_Plonker> Haven't started, how many pages is it?
[21:23] <NaPsTeR_> i actually need one now
[21:23] <Bob_Plonker> OK
[21:23] * NaPsTeR has quit IRC (Ping timeout�)
[21:23] <Bob_Plonker> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[21:24] * NaPsTeR_ is now known as NaPsTeR
[21:24] <Bob_Plonker> Mike how many pages is the book
[21:24] <BOfH> Not many
[21:25] <BOfH> The foundation is fairly trivial
[21:25] <Bob_Plonker> Napster: We shall have to each have a look at the book, see if we can get hold of a previous exam paper and estimate how many sessions we will need
[21:25] <BOfH> Try reading the Intermediate book
[21:25] <Bob_Plonker> Either way I think planning the exam three months into the future isn't unrealistic
[21:25] <NaPsTeR> same
[21:26] * Bob_Plonker is chased across the channel by tumbleweed
[21:26] <NaPsTeR> i plan my doctor appointments 3 months ahead
[21:26] <BOfH> Well, it all depends
[21:26] <Bob_Plonker> How do you know your going to have a cold three months in the future
[21:26] <BOfH> I've got a licence, so I'm not going through it again
[21:26] <BOfH> It all depends how you guys are getting on with the books
[21:26] <Bob_Plonker> Right, when did you get yours?
[21:26] <BOfH> There are test exams online
[21:27] <Bob_Plonker> Cool, how much?

[21:31] <Bob_Plonker> What does everyone think of mini BB meets?
[21:32] <Blue_Chimp> me kitty mike and shish could probably sort something out amongst the 4 of us
[21:32] <Bob_Plonker> Rather than everyone meeting to talk about projects, individual project groups meet to actually work on their projects?
[21:32] <NaPsTeR> brb installing office
[21:32] <Bob_Plonker> Blue: What I mean is we all do them at the same time!

[21:38] * Bob_Plonker holds his swollen thumbs up to prove his mighty texting Marathon
[21:38] <Blue_Chimp> it's basically a lazy method of warsitting + for satellite tracking
[21:38] <Bob_Plonker> OK, where is the page on the Wiki?

[21:41] <NaPsTeR> okies back with remote access
[21:41] <Blue_Chimp> BOfH, its the ginger hair it effects your brain in strange and unparalled ways
[21:42] <BOfH> OK
