| arthurL | JScreenFix overnight was a no-go | 09:30 |
| brobostigon | afternoonings everyone. | 13:43 |
| brobostigon | afternoonnings ianto and Luinar | 14:57 |
| brobostigon | :) | 14:57 |
| ianto | Hi you two | 14:57 |
| Luinar | Hey. :-) | 14:57 |
| Luinar | Thought I'd drop by and check out the Welsh chan. | 14:58 |
| ianto | brobostigon: Did you see the comment in the politics chan? | 14:58 |
| ianto | Luinar: Ah cool, you from Wales too? | 14:58 |
| brobostigon | ianto: i am just reading it, | 14:58 |
| Luinar | Yeah... well, not originally. Moved here 5 years ago when I went to uni and just never left! | 14:58 |
| ianto | Ah brilliant, what uni was it? | 14:59 |
| Luinar | Aberystwyth | 14:59 |
| ianto | Heh, we have a lot of people in here at Aberystwyth or have/are studied/studying there | 15:00 |
| Luinar | Oh, cool. :) | 15:00 |
| Luinar | I'm actually back doing a Masters now. | 15:00 |
| ianto | Oh cool, in CompSci? | 15:00 |
| Luinar | Nope, in History of all things. I just like tinkering around with computers in my spare time. | 15:01 |
| ianto | I've just finished a Welsh exam paper for the Aberystwyth scholarships and I'm doing the CompSci one tomorrow | 15:01 |
| ianto | Hopefully I'll get a merit or scholarship then I'll eventually be one of the Ubuntu Aberystwyth alumni ;) | 15:02 |
| Luinar | Ah... pob lwc! | 15:02 |
| Luinar | I got in on a merit scholarship for my undergrad. | 15:02 |
| Luinar | They're well worth taking the exams for! | 15:02 |
| ianto | Yeah, all of my mates who've done it in the past have gotten the merit award so hopefully I will too. I feel rather confident about the Welsh exam that I've done, thinking that I had about 75% | 15:04 |
| ianto | Not sure what the grade target is for merits | 15:04 |
| Luinar | Hmm, I'm not sure how they grade the scholarship exams either. They never told me what score I got, only that I received a merit. | 15:05 |
| Kaia | Hello :D | 15:36 |
| * Kaia pats arthurL | 15:36 | |
| brobostigon | afternoonings Kaia :) | 15:36 |

| Luinar | Oh? What's their name? | 15:37 |
| Kaia | Computer Science | 15:37 |
| Kaia | Luinar: Kris Lovell, do you know him? | 15:37 |
| Luinar | Hmm, doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid... I am terrible with names though! | 15:38 |

| Kaia | do you recognise him? | 15:41 |
| Luinar | I do now, yes! We haven't spoken much through. Is he doing PhD? | 15:41 |
| Luinar | My mum had been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd when I was born. She though I'd grow up to hate it, but I think it's awesome. | 15:42 |
| Luinar | *thought | 15:42 |
| Kaia | I'm not sure, he's my signpost mentor | 15:42 |

| Narcissus | shw'mae buttes | 16:37 |
| ianto | Smae | 16:37 |
| Narcissus | ianto: IP address of ubuntu-cym.org is changing | 16:38 |
| ianto | Narcissus: Ah cool ok thanks for letting us know | 16:38 |
| ianto | Narcissus: Any idea what to yet? | 16:38 |
| Narcissus | 178.79.152.244 | 16:38 |
| Narcissus | it'll switch over on the 18th Feb | 16:39 |
| ianto | Going to that IP in my browser loads up the homepage anyway.. | 16:40 |
| Narcissus | because that's the first entry in httpd.conf | 16:40 |
| Narcissus | I've already migrated your site to the new server | 16:40 |
| Narcissus | you just need to change the A record of ubuntu-cym.org to 178.79.152.244 before the 17th | 16:41 |
| Narcissus | and then receive a PM from me with your new password for the new server | 16:41 |
| ianto | Gonna have to go through the whole Ubuntu-eu process again... 8-) | 16:41 |
| dariusH | Ola | 19:11 |
| dariusH | anyone about? | 19:11 |
| ianto | Na | 19:11 |
| dariusH | Bad answer | 19:12 |
| ianto | dariusH: Fancy doing me a favour? ;) | 19:12 |
| dariusH | depends what it is :P | 19:13 |
| ianto | dariusH: Write in pseudocode an algorithm that finds all the prime numbers from 1 - 1000 ;) | 19:14 |
| dariusH | why? | 19:14 |
| ianto | dariusH: Aber exam tomorrow, I dunno the maths behind it | 19:15 |
| dariusH | well a prime is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself | 19:15 |
| dariusH | so you'd create a for loop to go through each number | 19:15 |
| dariusH | then in that loop try dividing that number by different numbers if it passes that it's a prime | 19:15 |
| dariusH | to pastebin | 19:17 |
| Mr__T | Mae Llewellyn y llyfrgellydd o Lanelli wedi llyfu llawer o lyfaint | 19:18 |
| Mr__T | llewellyn the librarian from llanelli licked a lot of toads | 19:18 |
| dariusH | how do you do a for loop in pseudocode :S | 19:20 |
| ianto | i dunno, whenever I try to pseudocode it comes out looking like a C program without the preprocessor #include | 19:21 |
| dariusH | http://pastebin.com/LNESrgcq | 19:26 |
| dariusH | something along those lines | 19:26 |
| dariusH | bizarre pseudocode yes, but oh well | 19:26 |
| dariusH | that's the general just of it | 19:27 |
| dariusH | gist* | 19:27 |
| dariusH | could even switch //is prime to add the number to a stack for extra points | 19:28 |
| dariusH | but that's overkill for this exam really | 19:29 |
| ianto | http://pastebin.com/CxQdy9SE = what I have | 19:29 |
| ianto | Oops, line 13 should be if currentCount divided by currentPrimes has no remainder | 19:30 |
| dariusH | i don't remember this question being in my exam | 19:31 |
| dariusH | what papers this off? | 19:31 |
| dariusH | oh it was | 19:32 |
| dariusH | lol | 19:32 |
| dariusH | ianto: what VPS are you using? and how much is it? | 19:33 |
| ianto | dariusH: fsckvps.com at $8.50/mo | 19:33 |
| ianto | (15% discount) | 19:33 |
| dariusH | how the discount? | 19:34 |
| ianto | Because I asked for it | 19:34 |
| dariusH | all i want it a git server for backup at the moment | 19:36 |
| dariusH | i literally have no available money to spend :( | 19:36 |
| ianto | Well can't you use some git hosting company? | 19:36 |
| ianto | Some offer private ones | 19:36 |
| dariusH | because i'd rather have a VPS | 19:36 |
| ianto | Check out here http://www.fsckvps.com/hosting/ | 19:37 |
| ianto | I can get you 15% discount if you want it | 19:37 |
| ianto | Be warned they take their tiem with cancellation | 19:37 |
| ianto | So if you need to cancel do it about 5 days before your billing ends | 19:38 |
| ianto | *billing period | 19:38 |
| dariusH | suppose that is only £5 a month | 19:39 |
| ianto | They may take like 24 hours to setup as well though depending on if anyone's working or not | 19:44 |
| dariusH | says on the homepage 2 hours | 19:44 |
| dariusH | might do that | 19:44 |
| dariusH | atleast for a month to test | 19:44 |
| dariusH | i'd prefer a UK based one (say in sovereign house) but they're hugely expensive compared to america | 19:46 |
| arthurL | dariusH: Here's some C for the prime thing: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Y2m4K5qg | 19:47 |
| arthurL | In case you haven't cracked it yet | 19:47 |
| arthurL | Good grief, just realised how horrid the comments are... | 19:48 |
| arthurL | I did write this about 3 years ago... | 19:48 |
| dariusH | reckon IS would let me host a server? :P | 19:51 |
| arthurL | I don't see why not | 19:52 |
| dariusH | although that negates hte point of having it | 19:52 |
| arthurL | so long as it isn't a torrent slave or somesuch | 19:52 |
| dariusH | i wanted to back up outside the aber network | 19:52 |
| dariusH | well mainly off central (far too unpredictable) | 19:52 |
| arthurL | Even when central is out of commission the webernets still work fine | 19:55 |
| dariusH | other problems being only 1 ethernet port and no wifi in pjm, i'd have to passthrough, and i'd have to relocate in summer, and i'm not paying the electricity bill for that :P | 19:56 |
| arthurL | Spare wireless router? | 19:56 |
| dariusH | nope, not one that works and doesn't make a horrible high pitched noise anyway | 19:57 |
| arthurL | heh | 19:57 |
| dariusH | plus even that's at home at hte moment, my parents can't hear the noise and claim it's not there :( | 19:57 |
| arthurL | Wait, that C code was for Chris | 20:00 |
| arthurL | HURRRR | 20:00 |
| arthurL | Anywho, I'd run the server at home like I'm doing | 20:00 |
| arthurL | Also, I've learnt today that this stuck pixel isn't a stuck pixel. It's two dead sub-pixels :c | 20:02 |
| arthurL | o/ ianto | 20:02 |
| ianto | \o arthurL | 20:02 |
| arthurL | And because only one pixel is affected, they will refuse to replace it :( | 20:03 |
| arthurL | Oh, cruel fate! | 20:03 |
| dariusH | damage another | 20:10 |
| dariusH | and don't go to dell india :P | 20:10 |
| dariusH | neath's internet connection is horrible | 20:13 |
| dariusH | and virgin doesn't provide static IP's i don't think | 20:13 |
| arthurL | Mine never changes for some reason | 20:41 |
| ianto | Mine does with BT | 20:42 |
| arthurL | Ewwww BeeeTeeee! | 20:42 |
| brobostigon | nos da, sleep well everyone, | 22:34 |
