[00:23] :0 [00:23] That is epic :P [00:23] fun :) [00:23] Been meaning to mess around with the gmap API's for a while, how'd ya do it? [00:24] i didnt, its someone elses code [00:24] popey: Nice :P [00:25] * HazRPG tries to work out where he can build stuff... [00:26] do the islands form themselves over time? [00:26] or are they hand created (sorta speak) [00:26] as you walk towards the end of the world it generates more world [00:27] nice [00:27] Q) How do you use the train? [00:28] * HazRPG thinks he's found a spot he can set up camp [00:30] nn [00:30] ? [00:31] popey: As in you nn, or do you mean "Night Night"? lol === MonsterKiller is now known as monsterkiller === rich__ is now known as Rohaq [05:11] Woo! Haz has set up shop in popey land. :) [05:13] And I can now stay in my hut and do things instead of logging out when it gets dark xD [05:14] ? [05:14] Oh, minecraft lol. [05:14] hehe [05:15] do you play it? [05:15] play? haha i wish I had time to play [05:16] i wouldn't still be up at 5am working if I had time to play :) [05:17] heh, makes sense I guess [05:18] tonight I have ben mostly spending money i can't afford to spend hehe [05:18] what is it you do? [05:18] heh, I've been playing minecraft, when I should be working on a website :P [05:18] I am a privacy lobbyist/advocate/consultant/public speaker [05:18] morning everyone [05:18] ah [05:18] and just paid out the first installment for my masters :/ [05:18] you're up early/late ;) [05:18] MartijnVdS: :) \o hola [05:18] Paladine: nice [05:19] oh... not so nice [05:19] (I was saying nice to the job title) [05:19] keeps me very busy [05:21] I can imagine [05:21] MartijnVdS: argh... how do I find more clay >_< [05:21] HazRPG: No idea.. next to the river? [05:21] oo I forgot I had a beer next to me :) [05:23] MartijnVdS: one would assume so right :/ [05:23] but I can't find any [05:23] Paladine: winner :) [05:24] HazRPG: have you tried the minecraft wiki for hints? [05:24] yeah cept I should maybe be concerned that I am drinking beer at 5:30am lol [05:24] although I opened it like 1:30am [05:25] have several tabs open about various things xD [05:25] so i guess it is ok [05:30] exactly :P [05:30] wow. that game's a bit of a timesink. just looked up to see if it's midnight yet. err.. [05:30] yeah its pitch black at the moment in popey's server [05:31] I'm hiding in my hut so that I don't get killed [05:32] I tried that, but the green dudes got me anyway. so I've just wasted the last "couple of" hours on an all-out war against creepers :/ [05:33] wait, you in popey's server now too? [05:33] nah, just single-player [05:33] aka "playing with youtself" [05:33] *r [05:33] ;p [05:34] heh [05:37] chasing creepers is quite fun tho. they drop gunpowder, which turns out to be quiet useful for accidentally destroying hours of work [05:39] damn... zombies blew off some of my house somehow! [05:39] that's the ones [05:39] now I really need some clay >_< [05:40] the green ones that look like worms with feet. they hide, survive sunlight, and like to sneak up on you and explode. [05:40] so I can build my house out of brick - and not wood [05:40] some of it is brick so far... just need more clay [05:40] shauno: heh, yeah I noticed [05:40] * ball is confused. [05:41] ball: why? :) [05:43] MartijnVdS: I think it has become my natural state of being. [05:43] ball: Land of Opportunity getting to you? :) [05:44] Heh. ...land of Snowpertunity. [05:44] I spent most of this morning digging the cars out. [05:46] ...and the footpath. Need to widen the entrance to the driveway too. [05:46] I'll work on that in the morning, perhaps. [05:46] you moved to US ball? [05:47] * ball nods [05:47] It seemed like a good idea at the time. [05:47] what on earth possessed you to do that? [05:47] where abouts are you? [05:48] where abouts are you ball? [05:49] Illinois. [05:49] ball: run more CPU-intensive tasks [05:49] oh well it could be worse, you could be working for google ;) [05:50] ball: melt yourself out :) [05:50] ^^, [05:50] Paladine: What would be wrong with working for google? Good pay from what I hear, and awesome benefits. [05:51] haha [05:51] if you knew me you would understand why i found that funny :) [05:51] fair enough :P [05:51] Paladine: you applied and they didn't hire you? [05:51] shauno: there's not enough "day time" in this game :/ [05:51] no, I don't apply for jobs, I turned them down [05:52] 2x [05:52] seriously? You turned down a job a google? [05:52] yes, 2 [05:52] Surely if they wanted you, then they clearly thought you were bright enough to be there - they only hire the smartest of the crop. [05:53] but I didn't want to work for them [05:53] why not, if you don't mind me asking? [05:54] I have filed multiple legal complaints against Google, for me to take a job off them would be rank hypocrisy [05:54] ah [05:54] I work in privacy - Goole + Privacy don't mix lol [05:54] Google [05:55] true [05:55] I should probably put torches around my house :/ [05:55] I have friends who work for them though [05:56] and i meet Google peeps frequently [05:56] in fact we did a google tech talk in mountain view just a couple of months ago [05:56] although it was my directors not me [05:56] random [05:57] HazRPG: I went a little overboard, but I solved my creeper problem :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23042/2011-02-03_05.51.03.png [05:57] tech talks are like Google internal mini conferences for staff [05:57] shauno: haha nice :P [05:58] Sorry about that. I fell off the Internet. [05:58] actually just last week i was in brussels speaking at a conference and Google's new policy person in Brussels gave me her card - i was like "Don't tell anyone you gave me this, you will get fired..." lol [05:58] ball: time to dig out the telephone wires [05:59] MartijnVdS: Not much point, I'm having the service disconnected tonight [05:59] so ball what you doing out there in illinois then? [06:00] Hmm, -13C now, -23C forecast low for tonight [06:00] Paladine: I live here. [06:00] they have C over there? [06:00] yeah but what work you doing there? [06:00] MartijnVdS: Not by default, but if you work in science or do anything global... [06:01] ball: .. or are sane ;) [06:01] Paladine: Nothing interesting, sadly. [06:01] MartijnVdS: Exactly ;-) [06:01] http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Bradley&state=IL&site=LOT&lat=41.1472&lon=-87.8557&unit=1 [06:01] ball: last time I was in the US I was surprised at the number of things that have liters on them [06:01] I was supposed to be in Cali on 12-15th of this month, but we cancelled [06:03] Paladine: you didn't want to be frisked by US security? [06:04] no the conference were being cheap about travel/hotel [06:04] they wanted one of our directors but too busy so i was gonna go instead [06:05] still, kinda glad, i have too many trips coming up as it is without flying out to cali and back [06:05] still recovering from Brazil in december [06:06] 5 trips coming up between now and mid march [06:09] shauno: I wish that stupid spider would leave the entrance to my house :/ [06:09] managed to put some torches outside of it though - so its not that bad, just a pain cos they stand next to the trees nearby when it gets light [06:10] spiders are docile in sunlight [06:11] how'd ya mean? [06:11] they don't attack during the day (unless you attack first). it's just at night that they get the munchies [06:12] oh, that'll make so much more sense xD [06:15] make it light again :/ [06:16] shauno: do you use glass at all in your buildings? Or do you find them being randomly destroyed? [06:19] [Jono Bacon] Community Leadership Summit 2011 Announced! - http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/02/03/community-leadership-summit-2011-announced/ [06:21] I use a lot of glass. it's pretty fragile, so don't use it anywhere you expect the green dudes to explode [06:21] but I've been digging a large mining shaft straight down, so a glass roof makes lighting it much easier (during the day ..) [06:24] (altho since I discovered TNT, the 'shaft' is more of chasm :D) [06:30] haha [06:31] hmm, any idea how far down you can dig, before you hit water? [06:37] I didn't hit water :) there is unbreakable rock a good ways down tho [06:42] argh! [06:42] damn exploding green zombie things! [06:48] morning all [06:48] morning AlanBell [06:51] o/ Paladine [06:51] yo [06:52] AlanBell: Mornin \o [06:53] hows things AlanBell ? [06:54] not bad, customer meeting this morning then back to the cloud expo at the barbican [06:54] then on to a swanky reception at the design museum [06:55] how are things in the privacy world? [06:55] there was a good panel on the cloud at CPDP conf in brussels last week [06:56] keeping me busy as usual :) [07:00] AlanBell, just launched our new site on thursday so have new blog :) https://www.privacyinternational.org/blogs/alex [07:22] morning :) [07:22] \o/ [07:23] That's one way to start the day TheOpenSourcerer :) [07:24] Been up for 1 1/2hrs already - just about to go and: Get cash, smokes, then some rather tortuous train and tram journeys organised and car parked. [07:24] where are you off to? [07:25] Mitcham, the central london. [07:25] And I need a poo. [07:25] heh [07:25] ttfn. [07:31] morning [07:31] \o livingdaylight [07:35] ~Morning [07:35] user not found [07:35] :( [07:36] its ok, daubers, you do exist really. [07:37] Hooray! [07:38] Need to go to the office and examine a new chassis, see if it'll do for a new product, then head to the open source expo [07:38] How was your trip to the BBC? [07:38] Very productive [07:38] Good good, got a potential contract with them? [07:38] Got a very busy month now building them what they want [07:38] :) [07:39] So looking forward to a weekend away before things get beyond manic [07:41] Cool, hopefully we'll see you on Sunday :) [07:42] \o/ [07:51] ...minecraft is a bad game (addictive-wise) T_T, think its bed time now... morning/nite all [07:51] * HazRPG waves [07:51] wow, if you haven't been to bed yet, its definitely bed time! [07:51] * screen-x is on tomorrow [07:54] guys: sorry to ask a technical question so early in the morning: I have this recurring/persistent/annoying issue with Ubuntu on shutdown/reboot. [07:54] everytime I go to reboot or shutdown I get a dialog informing that a Program is still running... I can't identify the program? I get it even if I've just had a clean reboot and not used any applications yet [07:54] It says: A program is still running: Unknown Not responding - Waiting for the program to finish. Interrupting the program may cause you to lose work. [07:55] Here is output to ps auxww : http://pastebin.com/fK7zmt5c [07:55] livingdaylight: gord suggested that is to do with compiz [07:55] I've got htop running but don't know how to identify the culprit [07:56] screen-x, yes, I remember. I re-installed all compiz in synaptic, but problem persists [07:56] what is the fix? [07:56] (2011-02-03 07:54:47) livingdaylight: It says: A program is still running: Unknown Not responding - Waiting for the program to finish. Interrupting the program may cause you to lose work. <-- is that the exact text of the error message? [07:57] yes [07:59] screen-x, http://img193.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1sz.png/ my desktop with said error dialog [08:00] thank you [08:00] bug 455238 [08:00] Launchpad bug 455238 in tangerine (Ubuntu) "Tangerine blocks session log out" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/455238 [08:03] screen-x, thank you [08:03] * livingdaylight goes to uninstall tangerine [08:05] it still does it! [08:06] I couldn't find a bug related to compiz and logout, but there must be one.. [08:06] poke around launchpad.. [08:07] having removed tangerine, would I need to reboot for changes to take full effect? [08:07] (maybe/hopefully) [08:07] livingdaylight: you may need to kill it. [08:07] uninstalling a package doesn't necessarily kill it's processes. [08:07] i'd happily murder it; how? [08:08] "pkill tangerine" should do it [08:08] or pkill -9 tangerine if that doesn't work. [08:08] haha [08:09] * screen-x wonders what he killed [08:09] (she/it) [08:15] screen-x, thank you... All is well again :) [08:15] livingdaylight: great :) what was the issue in the end? [08:16] tangerine... and it's processes just needed killing off after the removal [08:17] Anyone use AdobeAir? every other day it pops up with an update - amazing [08:18] livingdaylight: maybe you should comment on that bug incase it isn't obvious to other people. [08:19] that a further killing off of tangerine processes is required after removal? [08:19] yep [08:19] ok [08:22] morning all [08:22] done [08:23] czajkowski, haro! [08:23] morning czajkowski :) [08:42] Morning all [08:53] hello all [08:59] hello DJones | MooDoo [09:04] is MooDoo a filter? [09:04] Hang on, Have I been piped into MooDoo ? [09:04] * screen-x decides not to ask what DJones stdout is.. [09:05] * MooDoo shudders [09:06] * DJones judders [09:10] morning [09:10] popey, I assume the new MC tower is your handywork? :) [09:11] Hello, my friend and i want to play chess over the internet, is there any software available? [09:12] drt494245: freechess.org? [09:13] drt494245: you could play irc chess :) http://irc-chess.sourceforge.net/ [09:17] ok [09:21] Mornin all [09:21] wintellect: morning [09:35] Gooooooooooooood morning #ubuntu-uk! [09:35] screen-x: I'm more worried about his stderr [09:36] MartijnVdS: haha [09:36] MartijnVdS: Its not showing is it [09:37] MartijnVdS: but its ok because stderr wasn't redirected. [09:37] screen-x: 2>&1 [09:40] * dwatkins is really beginning to dislike Samba and LDAP [09:41] dwatkins: 't is the path to enlightenment [09:41] MartijnVdS: I wish it were, it's just making my blood boil at the moment, and all I'm trying to do is join a domain :'( [09:41] dwatkins: net join foo? [09:42] MartijnVdS: yeah, tried that, no joy [09:42] The error implies there's a duplicate name on the network, but there ain't. [09:57] dwatkins: maybe it thinks some machine with your machine's name is already in the domain [10:00] yeah, I'm changing the name and trying again, MartijnVdS [10:00] \o/ deed-poll to fix samba problem [10:00] * dwatkins grins [10:01] kazade: me and bigcalm [10:01] I just wish Samba was as easy to use as any old winders machine, and yes I know what I'm saying.... ;) [10:01] kazade: I went to the top of yours and put some stuff there to make a glass walkway [10:01] glass... [10:01] oops [10:01] I started on a wood one! [10:01] :( [10:02] hmm, I'll put glass either side of the wood, we can always replace it later :) [10:02] nvm :) [10:02] it's hard building outwards [10:02] I've died so many times falling off [10:02] hold shift when you walk, you wont fall off [10:02] oh! [10:02] do you know where I can find some lava? [10:04] What are the grey columns in the forests? [10:05] oh, I think they're just a different type of tree. [10:06] i think at this point we need to rename the channel to #minecraft-uk [10:06] I was just thinking the same, gord ;) [10:07] kazade: there's a hot tap [10:07] there is #ubuntu-uk-minecraft :) [10:08] Morning peeps [10:08] pip pip [10:08] hooray! [10:08] pip: error: No command by the name pip pip [10:08] ;) [10:09] nigelb: CP/M [10:09] nigelb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Interchange_Program [10:09] The program 'pip' can be found in the following packages: * pip * python-pip [10:10] popey, you can't harvest running lava [10:10] I tried :( [10:11] Sounds painful. [10:11] hmm, looking at the map there is some above ground in the snow area [10:11] MartijnVdS: Ah. [10:12] reminds me [10:12] I need to poke my dad to set up his old CP/M machine :) [10:12] MartijnVdS: that won't run minecraft ;-) [10:12] screen-x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertec_Superbrain [10:12] screen-x: but it IS cool [10:12] I agree with the cool bit [10:13] its a dual-core iMac :) [10:13] screen-x: from 1979 [10:16] kazade: oh yeah [10:18] Hello. [10:19] hello s-fox [10:19] You've shortened your nick name [10:19] Hello nigelb [10:19] It is for consistency [10:23] I belive folks will find this entertaining. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2011/02/03/bnp-relocates-to-india-in-bid-to-cut-costs/ [10:26] nigelb: i almost believed it then :) [10:26] MooDoo: hehe [10:29] nigelb: and it wasn't the site that made me curious it was the photo, it looked photoshopped :) [10:29] Thats quite entertaining [10:31] What a horrid thought. I've now been at my job for two years [10:32] Mez: ? [10:32] Mez: I was in my last job for 9 years. [10:32] I'm not too sure what you're asking there. [10:33] sorry might have come in halfway through a conversation :) [10:33] dwatkins: It's more of a point of today is my anniversary here.. [10:33] Mez: congrats :) [10:33] gz, Mez :) [10:33] Mez: oct 1st is my 5 year one :) [10:34] * Mez reflects back over what he's done in the 2 years he's been here. [10:34] * DJones has been in his job for 2 months [10:35] * MooDoo wants a new one :) [11:01] \o/ xdg-open [11:02] * screen-x should have know about that before.. [11:02] MC is very buggy :/ [11:03] half of my bridge has "vanished" so I threw some stone onto where it should be, now I'm watching that stone repeatedly fall, then reappear in front of me, then fall... etc. [11:03] yeah that happens :( [11:03] usually fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting [11:03] exit, reconnect [11:03] yeah, that worked [11:04] you get gaping holes in the map [11:04] I've also noticed that sometimes an entire side of that tower disappears [11:04] yeah, you're on a border between chunks [11:04] how do you start the client? [11:04] and how much ram do you have? :) [11:04] hi all, I'm getting a weird problem [11:04] double-click the jar and um, probs about 2G [11:04] heh [11:05] its a long standing multiplayer bug now [11:05] java -jar -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar foo.jar [11:05] I have a file, I ls it and it's there (complete with execute permissions), I try to execute it and get the error "no such file or directory". Has anyone come across this? I think the filesystem is broken [11:05] its kind of annoying but nothing you can do apart from restart [11:06] kazade: be nice to have a train track between towers :) [11:06] a monorail! :D [11:06] rickogden: ./ ? [11:06] (in the sky) [11:06] screen-x: yes [11:06] rickogden, are you sure the file isn't a script attempting to execute another file that it can't find? [11:06] good idea ;) [11:06] it's a compiled executable [11:06] http://popey.com/minecraft/current_day.png ooo i see it [11:06] rickogden: ldd ? [11:06] kazade: hope ours is a similar level [11:07] popey, yeah, me too! [11:07] screen-x: what do you mean? [11:07] kazade: i counted yours as about 60 blocks high, by counting the windows [11:07] hehe yes that's cool [11:07] that map is old popey [11:07] the bridge is now nearer your tower than mine ;) [11:07] that is one long bridge [11:07] infact, I can't see my tower, but I can see yours [11:07] heh [11:07] (maybe we shouldn't let minecraft talk get in the way of support) =\ [11:07] sorry [11:07] #mc-ubuntu-uk ? [11:07] rickogden: run ldd executable to see if all required libs are there [11:07] :) [11:07] ok will do [11:07] kazade: #ubuntu-uk-minecraft exists [11:09] screen-x: comes up with "not a dynamic executable" [11:09] so it doesn't need any external libs [11:09] nope [11:09] could use strace to see what its trying to open. [11:09] it runs on another very similar machine absolutely fine [11:10] Is there to extract all images from a PDF? [11:10] rickogden, its not adobe air is it? i remember that happening to me with adobe air, never fixed it though [11:10] ^a way [11:10] nope [11:10] it's a small c application [11:10] that runs fine on one machine [11:11] but on the other it doesn't throw an error it claims it doesn't exist when it's executed [11:11] (but it does exist in the filesystem) [11:12] rickogden, can you run "file " [11:12] "launcher: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped" [11:12] screen-x, there are bunch of cli tools called pdf2 in the repo's they can convert, not sure about extract though [11:12] admittedly it's a 64 bit system, but it runs on the other 64 system fine [11:13] dynamically linked ?? [11:13] weird that file should disagree with ldd [11:14] rickogden, lets make sure you have the 32bit deps installed, to run 32bit applications apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 ia32-libs [11:15] gord: looks like I don't, installing now [11:15] ahah! But the other system does! [11:16] gord: I think that's done it, thanks! [11:16] :) [11:17] thanks gord and screen-x :) [11:17] :) [11:18] yay [11:18] back to minecraft ;) [11:19] yay xpdf-utils includes pdfimages, which claimes to be able to extract images from pdfs :) [11:21] I have to say though, what a weird error message [11:21] yeah. Do find and ldd agree about dynamicness now? [11:22] linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7795000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7617000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7796000) [11:23] Good.. so just have to try and rember that when find and ldd disagree it may be a 32/64bit issue. [11:24] yeah will do [11:24] I still say it's an unhelpful error message (and completely misleading) [11:24] I honestly thought it was a corrupt filesystem [11:25] pdfimages works brilliantly :) [11:28] Hi, can someone help me find a command line to play songs in a directory (and subdirs) randomly with mplayer [11:28] I tried mplayer -shuffle $(find .) , but then mplayer intereprets every word as a song, not line [11:29] dr5t4924: find . -print0 possibly?

It works in bash after shopt -s globstar [11:45] screen-x: thnx, and how do i turn off globstar btw?

[12:11] * s-fox might be able to make it, though I am not English or Irish :) [12:11] London is nowhere near Rugby. [12:12] terran: not at all [12:13] * MooDoo might just wear his harlequins jersey :) [12:13] czajkowski: but what about when we win? [12:13] Can't trust these Ubuntu folk :p [12:14] a hoy hoy! [12:14] terran: i abuse czajkowski on a daily basis regarding ireland getting trounced, although i do seem to recall promising to buy her a drink if we loose.... [12:14] when [12:14] when you lose [12:15] terran: ahem ;) [12:15] is this two beers i'm going to have to buy ;) [12:15] MooDoo: I'm trying to bring some Irish friends along [12:15] I might do the same [12:15] I suggest you behave now or it'll get expensive for you [12:15] czajkowski: awesome :) [12:15] Sorcha and davisc are coming along [12:16] I haven't seen Sorcha since FOSDEM two years ago [12:17] shes started her phd [12:19] oooh [12:19] fancy [12:20] £17.00 for train tickets =) [12:20] hmm i better sort out train [12:21] terran: aye electronics [12:21] she needs to have a live demo read for LA in August [12:21] czajkowski: where is she doing it? [12:21] LIT [12:21] Mind you, that is one way... /me checks return [12:24] £37.00 for the round trip. Blah [12:25] s-fox: 52 for me [12:25] :( [12:26] round trip to London? [12:26] To that I add approx £40.00 in taxi... [12:26] yes [12:27] A whole £15 for me including unlimited underground zones 1-6 travel [12:27] terran: i'm in nottingham [12:27] train then tube.... [12:27] freaking love Nottingham [12:28] Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of my favourite bars of all time [12:28] yay ubuntu-uk field trip to nottingham :) [12:28] terran: next time your up, give us a bell :) trip and salutation and a few beers :) [12:29] last time I was there I went to Trip followed by Reflex [12:29] the 80s club [12:29] :D [12:29] terran, Oh Nottingham isn't so far from here. Maybe 35 miles [12:30] http://www.youtube.com/nottinghamscience :) [12:30] * diplo likes Nottingham bars and ladies as well [12:30] s-fox: where are you? [12:30] Ye olde was the first place i visited [12:30] i'm sensing a ubuntu night in nottingham is coming up :) [12:31] Can we start the night in Bugman's Bar? [12:31] diplo: because it's down the road from the train station? :) [12:32] lol [12:32] i work about 10 mins from the train station and about 5 from the trip :D [12:33] heh and my hotel [12:33] I got a delicious burger and a really good pint of Guinness in Bugmans Bar [12:33] Well I'm up for it next time I visit Headoffice [12:33] plus how often do you get to drink in a place with an Orc head mounted on the wall [12:34] lol haven't been to games workshop in ages :D [12:34] * MartijnVdS works about 30 minutes from East Midlands airport (= 30min from Amsterdam airport ;) [12:35] * MooDoo lives 10 miles from notts and just down the road from the castle :) [12:35] nottingham has a great beer festival in oct....you'll all have to come to that :D [12:36] http://www.nottinghamcamra.org/ [12:36] :D [12:36] MooDoo, I am currently living halfway between leicester and coventry [12:36] s-fox: ah not that far then [12:40] sometimes, just sometimes. i middle click the "new tab" button in firefox. never feel clever doing that === denny- is now known as denny [12:52] wow. trees are a lot more flammable than I expected. [12:52] heh [12:52] * popey invites shauno to #ubuntu-uk-minecraft [12:54] are mines more craftable than you expected? === monsterkiller is now known as MonsterKiller [13:02] popey, is minecraft good then? [13:03] oh hai Daviey :) [13:03] yes [13:03] just don't confuse it for a game [13:03] it's like crack is it? [13:03] a tiny bit [13:03] Minecrack [13:03] hmm [13:03] \o Daviey btw [13:03] popey, Have you lost your job over it yet? [13:03] it's more like farmville than simcity, tbh [13:03] MartijnVdS, o/ [13:04] heh, no [13:04] * Daviey ponders if it's worth €14.95... [13:05] whatever it is, it's fun, IMO [13:05] popey: does it work on intel gfx? [13:05] no idea [13:05] it's java isn't it... write once, run anywhere! :) [13:05] write once, debug everywhere [13:05] Daviey: sure it'll run.. but will it be 3D-accelerated :) [13:06] MartijnVdS, oh - 3D is overated. [13:06] tempted to buy a second copy for the kids [13:06] well, two more copies [13:07] write once, don't run on dual-monitor setup due to lwjgl bugs [13:08] WOW... have you seen how much money he's made from it? [13:08] i would imagine some millions [13:08] given how many people have bought it [13:09] profit = income - costs [13:09] 15 million pounds based on some back of cig packet calcs [13:09] and #10K per day [13:09] it was cheaper [13:09] and ##0K per day [13:09] its not always been 15EUR [13:09] keyboard fail. [13:09] ah [13:10] still.. he's making a good daily bread. [13:10] plus, the profits from the game also need to fund development of the next game [13:10] or not [13:11] quit whilst ahead :) [13:11] although he has said they're working on another game [13:11] * Daviey wishes he earned 10K per day. [13:11] i have already bought two copies [13:11] i gave one to a nephew [13:11] popey, fancy buying one for me? :) [13:12] minecraft is an unusually successful game, but it's not all veyrons for notch [13:12] the industry isn't that simple [13:13] popey, check out http://www.minecraft.net/buy_gift_codes.jsp :) [13:14] o/ Daviey [13:16] hello AlanBell ! [13:18] we got the CDs sorted in the end, I went to Millbank and grovelled [13:18] and the show is pretty dead so we haven't used many [13:18] heh [13:19] heard it's pretty bad there [13:19] one of the bits of swag we have is the official ubuntu book [13:19] we were thinking of using this and maybe some other stuff as a prize in an Ubuntu-UK quiz night [13:19] there is a channel with a quiz bot in isn't there? [13:20] obviously the winner probably doesn't need the book, so it should go to the most ignorant player :) [13:20] There's probably lots of them, AlanBell. I know of one retro-gaming channel where a bot asks questions all day long. [13:20] I think there is a #ubuntu- one [13:21] AlanBell, there is [13:21] good to hear it's ok [13:21] to start something in a screen you do like: screen ? [13:21] sad to hear it's quiet [13:21] i feared it might be after last time. [13:21] yeah [13:22] more cloud stuff than before [13:22] AlanBell, Did you look for the hype 2.0 complaint stickers? [13:23] who has them? [13:23] Most companies i thought..... [13:23] MonsterKiller: I just do "screen" in a terminal, press space when prompted, then whatever the command I need to run is [13:24] In cloud news, i assume you heard that Dell are now shipping UEC? [13:25] yes, we saw the press release [13:28] popey: czajkowski: will we see you later? [13:30] AlanBell: I'm hopint to head to the font thingy [13:30] once I figure out where it is [13:30] :) [13:30] London Bridge tube [13:31] waterloo then Jubilee line [13:33] did you find your phone [13:35] no [13:36] :( [13:43] they are sending me a new sim and I will find an old handset to use [13:43] until June when I get an upgrade [13:43] but TheOpenSourcerer tells me company policy means I can't get an iPhone 5 [13:44] your conscience means you can't get an iphone 5 ;) [13:44] * MartijnVdS watched the Honeycomb event yesterday [13:44] I want that tablet now [13:45] market.android.com is scary [13:45] dutchie: it's cool [13:46] it is cool [13:46] * MartijnVdS tried it earlier [13:46] but the lack of requirement to activate and the speed at which downloads start is just terrifying [13:46] well, until you think about it [13:46] AlanBell: you "lost" your streak? [13:47] cunning [13:47] I'd probably "lose" mine if I had one [13:47] dutchie: this is the way it has always worked [13:47] Interesting thing I heard that the return rate for Samsung Galaxy S was ~16% vs Apple iPad 2% in the USA. [13:47] dutchie: (that's why there was a small delay between clicking "install" and install starting) [13:48] popey: maybe because apple doesn't accept returns? :P [13:48] hahah [13:48] (they do) [13:48] Steve knows his stuff is perfect, why allow returns? [13:49] yeah i think there is consumer laws about that ;) [13:50] gord: in the UK, yes [13:50] gord: in the US, not so much [13:52] although i don't think comparing return rates of such different products is a valid comparison [13:52] when would it be a valid comparison [13:52] i think people who get an ipad very explicitly wanted "an ipad" thus not likely to return, whereas people who got a galaxy S wanted "a phone" and thus might not live up to their needs [13:52] popey: we have returned a total of three streaks I think [13:52] erk [13:53] out of two [13:53] i think return rates are far too variable for any comparison to be valid, unless it was explicitly "this hardware is broken" return rates [13:53] i haven't returned any apple products, and I have 6 [13:53] although I did lose one on the eurostar [13:54] I remember that [13:54] I've never lost an andorid based product on a eurostar. [13:54] Daviey: you also never got off on the wrong stop either did you [13:55] I have found the apple charger for the laptops to have a few design issues :/ [13:55] i can't remember the last product i returned, maybe my kindle, but thats because it broke the week i got it... got it replaced more than returned [13:55] czajkowski, I have often got off at the wrong stop :) [13:55] Sound on my macbookpro7,1 under natty is less than good at the moment. [13:56] * Daviey blames Steve. [14:00] http://2011.beercamp.com/ [14:00] afternoon all \o# [14:00] \o hazman [14:00] popey, y'know how the alt-tab thing is slow... in the ccsm settings for "static application switcher" under behaviour it has a "popup window delay" set to 0.2, setting it back to 0 makes it snappy for me (although seing others with less powerful computers having slow alt tab still) [14:01] well, I'm kinda hosed at the moment, my unity experience has stopped due to no nvidia driver [14:01] oh good... i just updated X, removing nvidia-current [14:01] this has a bad feeling. [14:01] yes, that [14:01] hurray! [14:01] there is no nvidia-current for the latest x [14:01] i literally JUST did it. [14:02] dont do that [14:02] MartijnVdS: in case you were curious, it turned-out I should have specified the name of the domain in capitals when using the kinit command. [14:02] always watch what is removed :( [14:02] if only we had the osx time machine [14:02] popey, tooo late... i even had to use dpkg force, as apt wouldn't let me do it :) [14:02] have we not copied that yet? [14:02] dwatkins: of course! you have to shout at windows boxes to make them do what you want them to do ;) [14:02] MartijnVdS: heh [14:02] gord, When is X gonna be good with nvidia? [14:03] if only apt had undo [14:03] does time machine cover system components? [14:03] Daviey, i have no idea, it works okay for me updated on monday. ask #ubuntu-x [14:03] 11:42:04 < yofel> there is NO nvidia driver yet that works with the new xserver, not even nvidias current beta driver [14:04] gord, pah :) [14:04] * Daviey had better not reboot. [14:04] * Laney has been using safe-upgrade for ages, and will be until the huge transition he is working on is finished :'( [14:04] oh great, i suggest you guys get used to that open source driver then... [14:04] . o O ( when is FF? ) [14:05] Laney, open a vnc session, and i'll open a browser for you and navigate to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule .. [14:06] it was in a thought bubble and therefore rhetorical, but thanks for your politeness [14:06] Laney, np :) [14:07] These low fat super noodles are a bit pants. Ho hum [14:08] bigcalm, Panter than you expected? [14:08] * selinuxium chuckles... [14:08] Daviey: I quite like super noodles. But I don't always have the low fat ones. Now I remember why [14:08] Hi Daviey [14:08] czajkowski: when you getting here kiddo? [14:09] * bigcalm pulls a pair of boxershorts from between his teeth [14:09] bigcalm: Is it possible to use the words "low fat" ini any other context than "a bit pants" [14:09] davmor2: czajkowski i want a photo of you two together with no bruises please :) [14:09] bigcalm, I thought the only difference was that you get less noodles in the diet pack.. [14:09] bigcalm, :( [14:09] selinuxium, o/ [14:10] fewer [14:10] less watts! [14:10] selinuxium: same quantity, odd product though [14:10] tasteless [14:11] watery [14:11] much like all diet food :) [14:11] also, the nouveau driver is rubbish, it flickers every few seconds [14:11] popey: those two words could describe so much incredibly accurately... not only food, either... [14:11] One could say that the skimmed milk that I have in my tea is "low fat". But I likes that [14:11] MartijnVdS: :) [14:11] ooo [14:11] chai o'clock [14:11] I'm hooked on Minecraft now >_< [14:12] HazRPG: Told you so [14:12] >_< [14:12] I know... >_< [14:12] Hehe [14:12] * Darael makes mental note not to start playing. It's clearly not a good idea. [14:12] I deleted it as it was getting in the way of work [14:12] now that I've got a hut... its all the more addictive, at first I though "this is crap, I'll never build anything fast enough to protect myself [14:12] " [14:13] HazRPG: If you were really stuck, one could just dig a hole for the 1st night [14:13] bigcalm: is that why you have a place that says "claim this house"? [14:13] HazRPG: I didn't write that sign. I wrote the one next to it [14:13] You're welcome to it if you want it [14:14] bigcalm: didn't realise that until after the first 5 or so deaths [14:14] i wrote the claim sign [14:14] bigcalm: yeah I saw that one too [14:14] didnt know whose it was [14:14] popey, I did run my own nouveau driver for a while... but every kernel upgrade was a PITA [14:14] i did consider dkms'ing it... then thought... well.. i just hate freedom. [14:14] why do we update x without waiting for a driver from nvidia? [14:14] or is it us updating that prompts them to update? [14:15] probably chicken + egg? [14:15] yeah [14:15] wish they'd just open source the damn thing [14:15] ikr :/ [14:16] Gah [14:16] Why do some email clients imbed images into emails rather than attach them? [14:18] think it'd be possible to make like a tunnel that goes between two houses underground? [14:18] everyone in offices does that [14:18] printscreen, new mail, paste [14:18] HazRPG: yes [14:18] popey: this came from an applemail client. I blame Steve Jobs for everything [14:19] ok, cmd+shift+3, cmd n for new mail, drag image from desktop :) [14:21] Aha [14:33] cmd+shift+4, space, click for just a window, iirc [14:35] yeah [14:35] most obscure shortcut ever [14:35] also, interesting to note that GNOME Shell ships with a built in screencast app [14:35] It's one thing I'm very surprised at which Macs are very difficult for, screenshots. [14:38] whee, new laptop [14:38] sadly, it comes with Ubuntu 9.10 preinstalled [14:39] could be sadder [14:39] Dell? [14:39] popey: yeah, our company work laptop standard issue [14:39] AlanBell: in the sense that it could come with Windows, true [14:39] otherwise, no [14:40] I'll have to nuke the installation anyway, and that's sad [14:41] ubuntu 32-bit 9.10 desktop --> xubuntu 64-bit 10.10 alternate with luks [14:45] not easy avoiding water underground [14:45] * HazRPG building himself a tunnel xD [14:47] HazRPG: How do you _build_ a tunnel? [14:48] line the walls with coblestone? [14:48] Does anybody have experience of bacula and/or recent versions of amanda? I've been using bacula but it's very complicated (still not sure I'm running it right!) and for the small number of servers I have to backup, a 6GB+ catalogue file is a bit excessive. Any comments, suggestions or ideas? [14:48] HazRPG: Good answer [14:49] DJones: :P [14:49] otherwise I would have just said I was digging a tunnel :P [14:53] ah crap, didn't count how many spaces to the left I needed to go before I hit water [14:53] Does that mean your tunnel is flooded [14:54] not just yet [14:54] I saw gravel and thought to myself "hmmm... that's usually near water... I'll fill that back up with coblestone... and go left again" [14:54] * popey invites HazRPG to #ubuntu-uk-minecraft :) [14:56] popey: ^^, didn't know it was there [14:56] Twinkletoes: rsnapshot [14:57] Just had a uknof email saying the final 5 /8s have been allocated, so the IANA pool is now empty.. [14:57] screen-x: Thankyou - looks interesting, reading now [14:57] Go panic buy water, or get your anti-nat cannons ready. [14:58] yey for ipv6 [14:58] lol [14:58] did you see the ipv6 song? [14:58] nope...? [14:58] yes ... [14:58] screen-x: I have a spare ipv4 going. The bidding starts at £50 [14:58] ;) [14:58] i personally dont like IP v6... i think they should have just added some oct on ... [14:58] dam it ... [14:59] who wanted to remember a hexdec thing. [14:59] 192.168.200.100 is far more easyer to remember lol [15:00] danfish: nah, that belongs to your ISP ;-) It would be good if you could get a single provider independent address, but that would make for _very_ large routing tables. [15:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qYS31SOq6A [15:02] screen-x: nah - it's mine honest and very unique - "127.0.0.1" :P [15:02] www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pube5Aynsls [15:02] *shudder* [15:03] how the heck did they get that youtube URL and why is popey pasting it here? [15:03] haha [15:03] its got RMS in it [15:04] why is it I read the bit after the "=" in popey's link as "pube analysis"? [15:05] ...I need to keep taking the tablets [15:05] * popey points danfish at AlanBell and around 2 mins ago [15:05] popey: d'oh! [15:07] * AlanBell clicks cautiously [15:07] oh my [15:07] I think I would rather watch what I thought it was going to be [15:08] AlanBell: do I want to know what you thought it would be? [15:09] AlanBell: ipv6 song, very good :) [15:09] Pendulum: no, you don't want to know that [15:10] anyone know why the sensors applet does not show my cpu? i3 on a Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2 mobo [15:10] running x86 10.10 [15:11] shhh shhhh, it's oh so quiet [15:12] :( [15:13] AlanBell: you at the expo again? [15:13] yes [15:13] then on to the font thing [15:15] ah [15:16] hows the expo today? [15:18] http://i.imgur.com/qePef.jpg [15:20] :) [15:23] it isn't very busy [15:24] if nobody turns up soon I may be forced to install minecraft [15:24] AlanBell, do it! [15:25] hi, i have a question: I recently installed lxde (lubuntu) and I'm very very happy with the desktop environment but it has a problem, it has no gui for setting up dual monitors [ BIG desktop ], so what I did was log out, re-load gnome, create the monitor layout with it's monitor gui and then logged out again and logged in with lxde and it works. the only problem is, when I restart my computer and login with my lxde again, the big layout is lost so I have [15:25] i have a radeon 9550 card [15:26] haha [15:27] * popey points pauliunx at MartijnVdS who knows about ATI cards :) [15:27] pauliunx: you probably need to make an xorg.conf [15:27] AlanBell: you'll be welcome in #ubuntu-uk-minecraft [15:27] popey: yea i found out about that file, no idea how to write it though.. [15:29] pauliunx, are you using the official driver (from the hardware drivers section) or the default open source one? [15:31] kazade: the default one, when i go to hardware drivers, it says no proprietary drivers were found [15:31] ah ok, then I don't think an Xorg.conf is gonna help you.. [15:32] i see amd released catalyst drivers for ubuntu 10.4 [15:32] downloading them now [15:32] pauliunx, wait.. [15:32] maybe i can set things up over there [15:33] it it's not listed in hardware drivers, it means either a.) your card is no longer supported by AMD or b.) you are missing a package [15:33] oh...probably a) then [15:33] pauliunx, just to be sure, make sure "fglrx-modaliases" is installed [15:33] that contains the info of which driver supports which card [15:34] if it's missing, hardware drivers will be empty even if your card isn't supported [15:34] *is [15:34] it's already installed [15:35] fglrx-modaliases is already the newest version. [15:35] ok, that means that installing the driver from AMD won't work (and may break stuff) [15:35] can't I just copy/paste the files that are generating the current layout somewhere to make them permanent? [15:35] apparently lxde has a monitor tool called LXRandr [15:35] sudo apt-get install lxrandr ? [15:35] yes, but it only offers turning the monitors on/off and rezolutions [15:36] nothing past that, doesn't give the choice of extending a monitor [15:36] I see... it's odd that it's not saving the information [15:36] what you did is supposed to make it permanent, at least for you [15:37] hm...i guess lxde and gnome use different files when loading [15:37] they shouldn't do, it's the same underlying technology (xrandr) [15:37] um, perhaps ask the lxde guys? [15:37] http://wiki.lxde.org/en/IRC_Chat [15:38] on their forum it says they have no developers who use two monitors :)) [15:38] oh... brilliant [15:38] alrighty, I'll just leave it at this for now [15:39] and xorg.conf will probably work [15:39] although, it's not *supposed* to be the way to do it :) [15:39] don't know how to do it [15:39] some info here: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 [15:40] it's not ideal.. [15:40] hmm, pauliunx can you run the gnome monitor config from inside lxde? [15:40] it doesn't show up [15:41] run: gnome-display-properties [15:41] either in ALT+F2 (if lxde has it) or from a terminal [15:42] pauliunx, I understand the problem [15:43] lxde is supposed to set your saved mode at login, but apparently it doesn't. So you can add a line to a file called /etc/xdg/lxsession/autostart ... [15:43] sladen is here now [15:43] although, the xrandr line will be dependent on your setup :( [15:44] pauliunx, some info here: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=375 [15:47] kazade: sorry, got disconnected [15:47] yes, i can run gnome-display but it doesn't actually do anything [15:47] if I click apply nothing changes [15:48] any idea why? [15:48] erm... [15:48] no, that should have worked [15:49] if you run it in a terminal, is there any output (e.g an error) [15:49] ? [15:49] two warnings [15:49] (gnome-display-properties:1754): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting [15:49] (gnome-display-properties:1754): Gtk-WARNING **: No object called: [15:50] hmm, I dunno :( [15:50] that really should've worked... [15:50] could you please give me the xorg.conf link again? [15:50] gonna try it that way [15:51] Things never look quite how I expect them to: http://prt.org/new/html/k.marmite-servers.net.html [15:51] pauliunx, this is useful: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2#Using__.24_xrandr [15:51] pauliunx, here's the original link I sent you: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/2009/06/01 [15:52] actually, that doesn't tell you what I thought it did [15:53] here we go: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html [15:53] that tells you the two methods (xrandr and xorg.conf) [15:53] for "Driver" you want "ati" [15:53] I think... or maybe "radeon" I can't remember [15:53] but definitely not "intel" :p [15:54] o/ [15:54] AlanBell: give sladen a hug from me [15:56] thanks kazade [15:56] i'll try that now [16:10] * daubers popped into the expo, wasn't very impressed said hello and vanished again [16:15] daubers: that good eh?

Should I create a bash script that replaces the skype in /usr/bin/? [19:27] pr0ph3t: create a small shell script, then have the launcher launch the shell script [19:27] pr0ph3t: shell script can be two lines: [19:27] #! /bin/bash [19:27] LD_PRELOAD=etc etc [19:27] and then make it exec [19:27] call it "skype.sh", put it somewhere in your homedir, make it executable (you can do this in the "Properties" screen in the file manager) [19:27] exactly [19:28] ok thanks MartijnVdS [19:31] MartijnVdS, is it chmod 777 skype.sh? === cbx333 is now known as cbx33 [19:56] pr0ph3t: 777 is way too much [19:56] 755 is more than enough.. but I'd recommend just saying: chmod u+x file [19:56] ("for user add execute") [19:56] thank you [20:02] re all === monsterkiller is now known as MonsterKiller [20:06] Hey.

[22:54] I forget there ae houses you can't get broadband in [22:55] hard to imagine isn't it [22:55] Though I have spent the large majority of my life in London [22:55] London gets everything first [22:55] even the plague [22:56] ;) [22:57] :) [22:57] I'd not want to live in London [22:57] too busy, fast and dangerous [22:58] off to brussels tomorrow. i'd better play videogames for 3 hours [23:00] get the fix? ;) [23:00] I'm right off comp games after last night [23:01] got to the 18th race of the season on F1 2010, and I am told my team will not be renewing my contract [23:01] :/ [23:02] spent about 2.5 hours per race, and got points in a rubbish car, then they tell me that [23:02] sounds very random [23:02] all that investment to be told that [23:03] I was upset, my team mate has no points [23:03] :) [23:03] i was playing an old game on Spectrum emulator today, and was surprise how addictive the game was .. was just like old times [23:03] Sabre Wulf btw [23:03] and a Lotus in F1, getting 3rd and 6th in 2 races is good.... [23:03] never played it [23:04] I always liked Millionaire [23:04] fantastic game, but the keys make it hard Q=left, W=right, E=up, R=down, T=sword [23:04] :) [23:05] given your nickname hamitron, i would expect you to be driving a McLaren [23:05] I have used this nickname for nearly 15 years [23:05] well before hami in F1 then [23:05] long before [23:05] haha [23:06] hehehe [23:06] I actually mainly play racing games [23:06] last F1 game i played was F1 2008 for my old playstation 1 ... was fantastic [23:06] and find it annoying everyone automatically assumes I got it from that [23:06] oh not 2008 [23:06] I have Formula 1 '97 [23:06] :) [23:06] '98 [23:07] man i am getting old [23:07] time is passing me bye [23:07] in '98.... [23:07] can you see what the weather is like before starting a race? [23:07] :/ [23:07] i can't remember [23:07] I can't find it in F1 '97, and it always ruined it for me [23:08] starting a wet race on slicks :/ [23:08] i always think 98 was a good year for the sport [23:08] draw distance on the PS1 was not nearly as good as the PC either [23:09] was that the year Damon Hill raced for Jordan? [23:09] i loved F1 when it was Schumi v Hakki [23:09] yeah Hill and Schumi as well [23:09] yeh [23:09] mine has Hill in the Arrows [23:09] F1 was great back in those days [23:09] better than now [23:09] but still not overly great [23:10] hamitron, you are making me want to get my play station out of the loft [23:10] :/ [23:10] haha [23:10] my PS1 is boxed atm, just got my NES setup [23:10] the graphics were superb back in the day [23:10] have you tried a PS1 emulator? [23:10] yes [23:11] any good? [23:11] but I have better games for the PC [23:11] it works [23:11] but I see console gaming as just a quick and easy, turn on and play when you want kinda thing [23:11] is it the same speed? [23:11] having to setup an emulator destroys that [23:12] erm [23:12] I think so [23:12] i agree .. prefer using a console for games [23:12] i only have a Wii at the moment and a PS1 [23:12] i keep thinking of buying F1 for Wii, but the graphics don't look so hot [23:12] if I want the trouble of setting up a game on a PC, I play a fully featured PC game :) [23:13] you ever played Metal Gear Solid [23:13] Jibadeeha: why use a console for games when there are so many good emulators out there and perfectly good methods to hook up controllers? [23:13] no [23:13] Azelphur: it is effort [23:13] Azelphur, i only have a netbook :( [23:13] it's like A) Buy a Wii, B) Buy a PC that can play Wii, Gamecube, PS2, and anything else you want :P [23:13] sell the consoles get a decent PC then :P [23:14] I bought a PSP to play games while having a dump ;/ [23:14] the emulators are even open source, it's like christmas. [23:14] my PC doesn't do it [23:14] short of bring a bowl here [23:14] Azelphur, i am not a big game player though to invest much money into it .. i get bored of playing games after about 2 hours ... only F1 games keep me addicted, don't ask why .. perhaps cos i like the sport [23:14] bringing* [23:14] I bought an android phone, I have PSX, SNES, NES, Genesis/Megadrive, GBA, GBC, with about 5k games packed onto the SD card and room to spare :D [23:15] Azelphur, i do have a ZX spectrum emulator and 3000 games for it from a CD i bought ... love the old games [23:15] Azelphur: and you reckon that is as easy and relaxing as using a PS2 on a large LCD tv in the living room? [23:16] i don't want to buy a clunky tower/desktop PC - would rather have a console under the TV [23:16] hamitron: no, I was comparing my android phone to the PSP [23:16] PSP has better controls [23:16] hamitron: as for the PS2, I have a far superior setup on my TV in the living room too :) [23:16] hamitron: android has any controls you want, you can get attachable controllers. [23:16] when i had a desktop PC and bought games for it ... there was always the fear of whether the game would perform well on the PC , e..g CPU speed, video card, enough memory, etc ... you don't get that with a console [23:16] Azelphur: and the cost? [23:17] ;/ [23:17] got my PSP for £81 [23:17] hamitron: in my front room I have MythTV. It has a media center with 1.5TB of media/games. Full DVR capability and a couple of playstation controllers hooked up to it :P [23:17] hamitron: not bad, I just picked up my mum a psx4droid capable phone for £100 [23:17] but it was new [23:17] i assume your psp wasn't :P [23:18] no, but mine reads UMD [23:18] ;) [23:18] yours doesn't read microsd :) [23:18] PSP games don't come on that :/ [23:18] hehe [23:19] but I still reckon the feel is better [23:19] a phone can play games, but not really designed for it [23:19] *shrug* [23:20] I've played through NFS Shift and most of Gran turismo on my G2 [23:20] lovin it :P [23:20] sure it is fun... [23:20] ;/ [23:20] I'll play RACE 07 with my logitech FF wheel [23:20] ;) [23:21] and I'll play flight gear with my flight yoke [23:21] can't dot hat on your phone ;p [23:21] can't do that on your psp either? [23:22] true, can't make phone calls either, as it is for gaming [23:22] hehe :) [23:22] I am still a huge fan of the PSP though, feels more modern than even the DS === redd is now known as Guest12497 [23:23] just a shame it is sony [23:23] hamitron: I just had an interesting idea [23:23] I wonder if you could use an android phone to do virtual reality [23:23] I liek real reality ;/ [23:23] like* [23:24] I'mma try it [23:24] i wish flight gear would work on my asus netbook [23:24] lol it sorta works [23:24] I fired up google skymap closed one eye and put the phone in front of my eye [23:24] as much as i hate M$ ... flight simulator was fantastic [23:25] it's really out of focus but it works :o [23:25] I'mma try it with layar that'd be sick :o [23:25] stellarium is good Azelphur [23:25] :D [23:25] better than sky map? [23:25] I never could fly planes [23:25] :/ [23:26] loved the idea of Rowan's Battle of Brit [23:26] well i like google skymap on my android cos it knows what am i looking at by pointing it [23:26] yea :) [23:26] that's why I thought it'd be a good test for virtual reality [23:26] true [23:26] i love the number of stars in stellarium though [23:28] lol, the answer to could an android phone be used for virtual reality is: possibly it's very blurry xD [23:29] my android phone is too slow for virtual reality [23:29] hehe [23:29] I have an overclocked G2 :) [23:29] mine is a hero [23:29] but not in the true sense of the word [23:31] do you guys have surround sound? [23:32] no [23:32] 2.1 [23:32] same here hamitron [23:32] i keep thinking of buying a surround system but don't like the idea of so many speakers in my living room and messing about with wires under the carpet [23:32] amp and speakers cost more than most surround sound systems :/ [23:33] hamitron, do you find when you play DVDs in 5.1 on your 2.1 system that you have to turn the volume up a bit higher [23:33] I go for sound quality and power, over directions [23:33] erm [23:34] no :/ [23:34] oh i find that when playing through my TV speakers ... volume is a lot lower [23:34] so do you have your TV connected to your amp [23:34] I have no tv [23:34] ;) [23:34] ah lol [23:35] I sometimes use my parents tv [23:35] it is just fine with tv speakers [23:35] i am not impressed with my parents surround sound tv [23:36] I think it depends what you want from it [23:36] I never listen to music from the tv [23:36] I use a hifi for that [23:37] they got rid of their hifi and now play DVDs through the TV ... not for me ... i have kept my hifi and like all my music to be played through the amp and my technic speakers [23:37] and as for dvd, most my dvd won't have 5.1 [23:37] a lot of DVDs these days are in 5.1 [23:38] "these days"?
