| brobostigon | good evening everyone | 00:14 |
| dwatkins | hiya brobostigon | 00:15 |
| brobostigon | hey dwatkins :) | 00:15 |
| dwatkins | I'm watching traffic to a website increase as a competition has just been posted on it, just a caption thing between friends, but I suspect it will get a fair number of hits. | 00:17 |
| dwatkins | I'm a bit concerned that the machine might become a target as a result, as it has a wordpress blog and a forum plugin, anyone here used the Mingle forum plugin? | 00:17 |
| jacobw | a non-techie friend saw my unity desktop today and said 'thats a cool layout' so i can't complain to much | 00:18 |
| dwatkins | I'm tempted to try Unity, perhaps when sound works on my Mac. | 00:20 |
| jacobw | i'm not sure you'd notice going from mac to unity :p | 00:28 |
| shauno | oh you will. I tried | 00:30 |
| dwatkins | tried and went back, shauno? | 00:31 |
| shauno | yeah | 00:31 |
| shauno | I was completely unprepared for how badly they've managed to break things I take for granted. shall have to try it when I'm high sometime | 00:32 |
| === tubadaz is now known as tubadaz_away | ||
| shauno | so far, it's been bad enough that I'm working on plans to migrate ubuntu-server machines back to debian. I've completely lost faith in ubuntu's ability to cater for it's users, rather than hypothetical future users | 00:35 |
| daftykins | highly motivated? :> | 00:36 |

| ali1234 | i find this ask slashdot story amusing | 02:00 |
| ali1234 | http://ask.slashdot.org/story/11/04/21/2311251/Ask-Slashdot-Are-You-Streaming-Only-For-Home-Entertainment | 02:00 |
| ali1234 | because it assumes that you must either have satellite/cable pay tv, or use internet streaming to buy the same thing | 02:00 |
| ali1234 | silly americans | 02:01 |
| shauno | that's pretty much a given for large parts of the US | 02:01 |
| ali1234 | yes, i know | 02:01 |
| ali1234 | they have no FTA worth even mentioning | 02:01 |
| ali1234 | because giving something away = socialism | 02:01 |
| ali1234 | hence "silly americans" | 02:02 |
| shauno | I'm not sure it's anything to do with giving stuff away. there's plenty of channels on cable you don't pay for | 02:02 |
| shauno | it's not like FTA doesn't contain advertising | 02:02 |
| ali1234 | you pay for the cable | 02:03 |
| ali1234 | the "free" channels are like the "free" toy with the happy meal | 02:03 |
| ali1234 | not free at all | 02:03 |
| shauno | in most cases, the shear scale of the place just makes FTA unprofitable | 02:03 |
| ali1234 | satellite can cover it easily | 02:04 |
| ali1234 | i wonder what you can get unencrypted on american satellite TV | 02:04 |
| shauno | I wouldn't even call that easily. you end up needing a pretty huge dish | 02:04 |
| ali1234 | ok, maybe not easily, but certainly a lot easier than terrestrial transmitter network, and absolutely far easier than cabling every house | 02:05 |
| shauno | that's it .. cabling them doesn't need to be easy, because enough of them are paying for it | 02:07 |
| shauno | it'll make it's cost back | 02:07 |
| ali1234 | yes | 02:07 |
| ali1234 | public service broadcasting for free is never going to be profitable | 02:07 |
| ali1234 | nor should it be | 02:08 |
| ali1234 | but try telling that to the average american | 02:08 |
| shauno | I'm not talking about pbs .. the middle-ground where you can be completely ad-supported | 02:08 |
| ali1234 | that doesn't even work in the UK any more | 02:09 |
| ali1234 | ITV will be dead within 5 years probably | 02:09 |
| shauno | itv's selling deals with the carriers already | 02:09 |
| shauno | we just lost all their channels on ntl because they signed exclusivity to someone else | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | oops | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | but hang on | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | it's on FTA and freesat | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | i mean terrestrial | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | why would you even have NTL? | 02:10 |
| shauno | I'm in ireland | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | oh | 02:10 |
| ali1234 | you can probably get freesat depending on how far west you are | 02:11 |
| ali1234 | and questionable legality | 02:11 |
| shauno | that's the next catch. I'm on the atlantic coast :) | 02:11 |
| ali1234 | ah well. itv sucks anyway | 02:12 |
| shauno | rte isn't aweful, for the news atleast. rte2 doesn't like speaking english. itv3 is just ulster's itv, and I've no idea what they call channel 4 - it *really* doesn't like speaking english | 02:12 |
| daftykins | S4C? | 02:13 |
| shauno | naw, that's wales | 02:13 |
| daftykins | oh yes, sorry | 02:13 |
| daftykins | when i was younger, i would come home from the pub, put the TV on | 02:13 |
| daftykins | and because i'd hear an English word every now and then, be convinced i'd gone nuts | 02:13 |
| daftykins | i'd sit there furrowing my eyebrows at the TV for ages until i realised it was on S4C :( | 02:13 |
| shauno | heh, yeah. I used to get s4c in barrow, because I had a better line of sight to anglesea than the tower we were meant to be on | 02:14 |
| shauno | ah, there we are | 02:15 |
| shauno | TG4 (Irish: TG Ceathair or TG a Ceathair; pronounced [tiː dʒiː kʲahəɾʲ]) is a public service broadcaster for Irish-language speakers. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TG4 | 02:15 |
| ali1234 | speaking of terrestrial tv, has anyone got a working dvb-t2 (HD) usb tuner? | 02:15 |
| daftykins | i've never heard irish | 02:16 |
| ali1234 | according to linux tv wiki there's only two, one is work in progress and the other is not supported | 02:16 |
| shauno | if you've heard scots' gaelic, it's not far off | 02:16 |
| daftykins | lol WIP and unsupported, great | 02:17 |
| daftykins | must sleep, nn o/ | 02:18 |
| shauno | main reason I have cable here, is because the only other option is dsl via the national telco, and they're pure f*n evil | 02:18 |
| shauno | atleast ntl are just incompetent. eircomm are evil by design. | 02:19 |
| shauno | if nothing else, ntl atleast reply to the **AA's with "sure, just get a court order" instead of eircomm's "sure thing buddy" | 02:21 |

| kirior | btw im n00b :) | 09:55 |
| danfish | kirior: np :) | 09:57 |

| danfish | yep | 10:04 |
| kirior | ok added that, now how do i make it log in as root? as soon as it will startup? | 10:04 |

| Azelphur | that microsd card company doesn't seem to be replying to my email lol | 20:25 |
| Azelphur | so basically I'm stuffed, amazon won't do anything, they have my money and my card \o/ | 20:25 |
| Azelphur | oh well :( | 20:26 |
| popey | Azelphur: small claims court? | 20:48 |
| Azelphur | dunno if it's worth it for £30 | 20:48 |
| gord | leave a nasty review | 21:09 |
| gord | that'll show em | 21:09 |
| Azelphur | gord can't because I already left feedback xD | 21:11 |
| Azelphur | they screwed me over on warranty | 21:12 |
| marsilainen | redirect all your junk mail to them | 21:13 |
| Azelphur | sounds fun | 21:16 |
| popey | evening all | 21:31 |
| popey | btw | 21:31 |
| gord | making rollercoasters is much more fun now with powered rails :) feels quite realistic | 21:34 |
| gord | no loops though :( | 21:34 |
| hamitron | popey: need more gold and redstone | 21:43 |
| hamitron | ;) | 21:43 |
| hamitron | if you got any | 21:43 |
| popey | :) | 21:45 |
| gord | note to self, make sure xchat channel column is wide enough to tell the difference between #ubuntu-uk and #ubuntu-uk-minecraft | 21:51 |
| Azelphur | gord: but that's no fun | 21:55 |
| Azelphur | https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648158 win :D | 21:57 |
| lubotu3 | Mozilla bug 648158 in Server Operations: Desktop Issues "Mozilla office is on fire" [Normal,Resolved: invalid] | 21:57 |
| * daubers throws together a quick django db | 22:00 | |
| hamitron | ty | 22:03 |
| hamitron | rail to castle now works fully | 22:23 |
| hamitron | :D | 22:23 |
| shauno | ugh. silly standby thing on the cable box. pops up and tells me I haven't interacted with it lately, so it's gonna go sleep now. | 22:51 |
| shauno | a 2 minute race to find the remote :/ | 22:51 |
| gord | really? | 23:03 |
| gord | thats awful | 23:03 |
| jacobw | interact with me plz :o kthnxbye | 23:03 |
| shauno | heh. that's exactly what it does | 23:03 |
| shauno | if you don't touch the remote at all for 3 hours, it gives you a 2 minute warning that it's going to sleep | 23:03 |
| DJones | shauno: What happens if you're watching some long depressing 4 hour film, does it still want to switch off | 23:04 |
| shauno | DJones: if you don't touch the remote at all, yes | 23:04 |
| bigcalm | shauno: VM? | 23:05 |
| gord | surely there must be a setting for that | 23:05 |
| DJones | Sounds rather stupid | 23:05 |
| shauno | there is. 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours | 23:06 |
| shauno | bigcalm: not sure what you mean vm ? | 23:06 |
| bigcalm | VirginMedia | 23:06 |
| shauno | oh, no. upc/ntl | 23:07 |
| shauno | (.ie .. I'm aware ntl there are virgin now. they're not here :) | 23:08 |
| shauno | or was that telewest. hard to keep track from a distance | 23:08 |
| Azelphur | yay, my internets up for 5 minutes :D | 23:08 |
| * Azelphur downloads everything like crazy | 23:08 | |
| hamitron | :) | 23:11 |
| shauno | I'm all for things being clever about their power consumption. but that's not clever. that's guessing. | 23:11 |
| hamitron | clever would be 3 hours or after the current program... whichever comes later | 23:12 |
| shauno | if they wanna be clever, they should 'spot' the "film4 has gone to sleep" screen, and knock the box (and the telly) off if it's left on for x minutes | 23:12 |
| hamitron | parents tv goes off if left and no program is set in the scedule | 23:14 |
| hamitron | which is good, but it is annoying having to click OK on everything you want to watch | 23:14 |
| shauno | I just don't want the TV to talk back. I've got a laptop for that. | 23:17 |
| shauno | if it has to ask, it's probably got it wrong | 23:17 |
| shauno | I get the impression that I'm just being punished for being too lazy to mute the adverts | 23:18 |
| hamitron | haha | 23:20 |
| * DJones considers giving up, I've just been asked the question, What do you call people from Tokyo? Tokians?.......Erm.. Do you mean Japanese....Oh yeah :) | 23:36 | |
| bigcalm | What do you call people from London? | 23:40 |
| jacobw | i once heard a girl taking a level geography ask whether japan was an island.. | 23:40 |
| bigcalm | 'lost', if they are up here | 23:40 |
| jacobw | bigcalm: many things not for this channel :o | 23:41 |
| bigcalm | Nope, it's more than 1 island | 23:41 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 23:41 |
| jacobw | pedant | 23:41 |
| bigcalm | :P | 23:41 |
| ali1234 | 4 isn;t it? | 23:43 |
| ali1234 | ok, 6852 | 23:43 |
| ali1234 | i was close | 23:43 |

| Azelphur | Hmm, I really want to do drupal 7 multi site :p | 23:55 |
| Azelphur | but I can't really understand it | 23:55 |
| Azelphur | does anyone know how it actually works beyond "multi site"? I don't really understand xD | 23:55 |
| * popey tickles bigcalm | 23:56 | |
| ali1234 | nobody can understand drupal except the authors | 23:57 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: haha, I do pretty good with drupal :D | 23:57 |
| ali1234 | and they would rather sell their books than write good documentation | 23:57 |
| Azelphur | :o | 23:57 |
| ali1234 | hey does drupal 7 support images yet? | 23:57 |
| ali1234 | or do i still need to use a manky plugin? | 23:57 |
| Azelphur | seems reasonably good image wise here http://fasttrack-khadgar.com/ :p | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | (Joined a wow guild, took the opportunity to play with d7 xD) | 23:58 |
| popey | i see no images | 23:58 |
| popey | inline | 23:58 |
| ali1234 | me neither | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | http://fasttrack-khadgar.com/forums/topic/post-your-picture-thread | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | nope, no inline images | 23:58 |
| * Azelphur runs | 23:58 | |
| ali1234 | that's some kind of forum thing... | 23:59 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: that's the drupal forum. | 23:59 |
| ali1234 | it has a forum now? | 23:59 |
| ali1234 | or is it a plugin? | 23:59 |
| Azelphur | It always has done. | 23:59 |
| Azelphur | the forum itself is core | 23:59 |
| ali1234 | the version on my website does not have a forum | 23:59 |
| Azelphur | but I've got some plugins loaded to spruce it up a bit. | 23:59 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: it's not loaded by default but it does ship with it | 23:59 |
