13:08:40 <Belugas> ho.. I forgot to mention: when I took the bus to work this morning, it was snowing
13:08:54 <Belugas> though you might find it interesting to to know ;)
13:09:07 <planetmaker> Is it unfair, if I tell you that I considered wearing shorts today?
13:10:34 <Belugas> what can i say? apart fucking country?
13:12:26 <Wolf01> is it you which choose to live near the north pole, your country existed before you :D
13:16:30 <Belugas> wasn't me, but my father
13:17:07 <Belugas> and you know what's the joke? When he decided to move out of belgium, he had the choice: canada or guadeloup
13:17:23 <Belugas> imagine... my life by the beach
13:19:30 <__ln__> and you'd be dreaming of snow
13:19:57 <Wolf01> Italy is better, winter->snow, summer->beach :D
13:20:33 <__ln__> and english->/dev/null

14:53:19 <yorick> orudge: the ads on tt-forums actually get me a "slow flash script" warning
14:56:46 <orudge> yorick: there's a page on Google somewhere you can complain about them
14:56:55 * orudge cannot particularly do anything about the specific adverts that appear

19:10:31 <Alberth> Belugas, welcome back
19:15:36 <Belugas> but... i wish we were still underpowered ;)
19:15:45 <Alberth> we guessed as much :)
19:16:31 <Belugas> well... quite obvious hehehe
19:16:52 <Belugas> there is a new sky scrapper being built just the other side of the street
19:16:55 <planetmaker> We already hoped it'd last and you'd be (already) off for a long weekend
19:17:04 <Belugas> we have much power fluctuations
19:17:16 <planetmaker> sounds pretty bad ;-)
19:18:17 <Belugas> at least, we can say Yeah for our backup batteries...
19:21:14 <CIA-1> OpenTTD: glx * r22356 /trunk/src/ai/ (7 files): -Fix (r22342): somehow empty and useless new files were added
19:23:05 *** perk111 has joined #openttd
19:25:54 <Belugas> not all of us can, however ;)
19:26:03 <Belugas> one of us had a faulty battery
19:26:11 <Belugas> he lost 4 hours of dev work
19:27:29 <planetmaker> he... I'd have assumed you have a central UPS?
19:28:17 <Alberth> Belugas: I once lost 3 hours of work due to use of a RAM disk and a power cut :)
19:28:36 <Alberth> planetmaker: with windows desktops? (educated guess)
19:29:00 *** LordAro has joined #openttd
19:29:49 <Belugas> the only linux machine we have is the one dealing with internet access
19:35:29 <planetmaker> Alberth: at my university, the computers are attached to a separate power circuit which has separate connections and special measures to ensure continued power
19:35:45 <planetmaker> (whatever they are in detail, I don't know)
19:36:21 <Alberth> we only have that for 19" rack systems, and the file server :)
19:36:51 <Alberth> which is fine, as my $HOME is at the file server :)
19:42:55 <Belugas> that looks like organisation. tel me about it!
19:49:53 *** douknoukem has joined #openttd
19:50:39 <Belugas> we're using OAP system here
19:53:18 <Alberth> haha, 'High speed Arithmetic Processor' according to Google :)
19:55:48 <Belugas> so far from the truth ;)
20:14:42 <Eddi|zuHause> [21.04.2011 21:17] <Belugas> long weeked... <-- well, in germany, this friday and monday are holidays
20:15:29 <Eddi|zuHause> 1st may would also be a holiday, but it falls on a sunday this year
20:16:36 <SmatZ> we have holidays only on Monday
20:16:41 <SmatZ> but both 1st and 8th May :)
20:17:37 <Eddi|zuHause> glx: i believe that was a holiday in east germany, but it is not anymore.
20:17:39 <Belugas> we're just off tomorrow, sadly
20:17:56 <SmatZ> they could have surrendered 1 day earlier
20:18:15 <SmatZ> it makes problems at school, when two same days of a week are missing
20:18:58 <glx> november is better for that
20:19:25 *** Brianetta has joined #openttd
20:19:31 * Alberth would consider the whole of november as being satisfactory too :)
20:19:47 <Eddi|zuHause> i believe the surrender agreement was actually signed on the 7th, but it had a 24 hour period until it took effect
20:19:56 <SmatZ> we have only 17th November - as "day of fight for freedom and democracy"
20:20:34 <SmatZ> and we have 5th and 6th July as holidays :)
20:21:07 <Eddi|zuHause> we have the 3rd and 31st october. they're on the same weekday as well
20:21:14 <SmatZ> (one from year ~981, second from 1415...)
20:22:11 <Eddi|zuHause> and we have the (mostly meaningless) 3rd october, because they were too scared to pick the 9th november as holiday...
20:22:30 <Eddi|zuHause> because of some unpleasant historical collisions...
20:23:55 <SmatZ> history is a nice tool to find reasons why hate someone :p
20:25:28 <glx> with all the war we had, I think it should be possible to have holidays more often :)
20:26:50 <__ln__> i want more wars to get more holidays
20:28:03 <Eddi|zuHause> 9th november 1918 was originally the day that democracy and surrender was proclaimed. for the (openly) antidemocratic nazis this date was abused to do some unpleasant things later
20:28:52 <Eddi|zuHause> the fall of the wall on 9th november 1989 was a coincidence, but they didn't want to declare that the national holiday
20:29:25 <SmatZ> another good thing should happen on that date
20:29:32 <Eddi|zuHause> although that would be the "natural" date for the "day of reunification"
20:29:37 <SmatZ> so the "good" things are in majority :)
20:30:42 <__ln__> come to think of it, i don't think we have any holiday directly related to a war
20:34:52 <Eddi|zuHause> the majority of holidays are of religious nature
20:35:37 <__ln__> yes, except chrismas which is dedicated to santa claus
20:40:57 <supermop> chismas celebrates chris sawyer, not to be confused with christmas
20:43:22 <__ln__> and easter is for celebrating bunnies
20:58:31 <Eddi|zuHause> and what exactly is not religious about _santa_ claus?
