JGJoneshttp://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20072845-264/google-building-skype-alike-software-into-chrome/00:26
JGJoneslook interesting...plus as Google claim that WebRTC is open-source/royalty-free too, so I guess Empathy'll support this too if licence permits?00:26
ali1234so wait, what is this text relay thing supposed to actually do?00:38
JGJonesali1234, what it does? you mean how it works?00:39
ali1234what it does, and what exactly it achieves00:39
JGJonesOK00:39
ali1234and how it works00:39
JGJonesBeing deaf it mean I can't hear a telephone. Even if I could hear it, I still can't make it out - all voices are just random noises to me00:39
JGJonesSo I can't use a telephone.00:39
ali1234ok00:39
JGJonesWith a text relay, there is a 3rd party operator. In UK - I dial any number with 18001 prefix00:40
JGJonesthis prefix mean it automatically goes to Text Relay (www.textrelay.org) and then dial the usual number I put in after 1800100:40
JGJonesonce it get thru, there's another delay while I wait for an operator to become available (mostly short times...)00:41
JGJonesdepending on the person I'm calling - they might have run out of patience and hung up on me and I'll have to redial or if it's a call centre, wait until the message repeat ;)00:42
ali1234ok i get this part00:42
JGJonesthe operator's job is to act as a relay...I type to the operator using a text phone. in text.00:42
JGJonesThe operator then speak what I type to the person I'm calling.00:42
ali1234yes, and then they type out the reply to you00:42
JGJonesThe person speak to the operator and the operator relay it to me by typing00:42
ali1234this part i understand00:42
ali1234so, why do you need a modem dial out?00:43
JGJonesA video relay does the same thing except that it use BSL (British Sign Language)00:43
ali1234yeah, i saw a link to sign language video relay the other day, was it from you?00:43
JGJonesmodem - ok the current technology is that I have to use a rather old minicom (textphone) plugged into phone line to make calls.00:43
JGJonesyeah that was me - they wanted android app devs so I thought someone here might be interested00:44
ali1234ah yeah that was it00:44
ali1234ok00:44
JGJoneshowever if I'm outside of the house - I can't use text relay00:44
JGJonesit doesn't work on mobiles00:44
ali1234gotcha00:44
webpigeonthat sucks :(00:44
JGJones*must* have a landline with a operator that support the 18001 prefix (most does now)00:44
ali1234it sucks cos there's no reason why it can't work... any mobile phone can do modem calls00:45
JGJonesso I was thinking of setting up a computer with modem...ssh in if I want to make calls etc.00:45
ali1234so what you actually need is a piece of software that emulates textphone and runs on linux console00:45
ali1234or is textphone just a standard dumb terminal?00:46
JGJonesali1234, it could...but you'll need a laptop with the necessary software to use the mobile as a modem and then support the communication protocol that the text relay use.00:46
ali1234nah00:46
ali1234i bet a N900 could do this standalone if the 18000 prefixes worked from mobile operators00:47
JGJonesa textphone is basically a minicom unit that use the Baudot or V18 protocol00:47
JGJonesThe old Nokia Communicators was certainly capable of it.00:47
JGJonesand it use sound to transmit00:47
AzelphurJGJones: probably could rig something up with VOIP and asterisk00:48
Core_UKanyone have an understanding of openpgp?00:48
ali1234you don't need asterisk or voip for this00:48
JGJonesyes...it make a series of loud beeping noise...thankfully newer units now just plug direct into the line.00:48
Azelphuroh ok then :p00:48
ali1234all you need is minicom/picocom and a modem00:48
=== GingeryDog is now known as GingerDog
ali1234like how we used to connect to BBS in the old days00:49
JGJonesTo be honest I DON'T want to do this, but because the Government is cutting Access to Work fund, I need to seek "cheaper" alternatives just in case00:49
webpigeonCore_UK: depends what aspects00:49
JGJonesAccess to Work was actually designed for one off lump sums - ie person in wheel chair - pay for a ramp etc.00:49
ali1234well the cheaper alternative is just stop using telephone calls and use IM instead00:49
AzelphurJGJones: funny enough, I actually know a couple deaf guys who use android00:49
JGJoneshowever for deaf people - it's ongoing support costs that's a drain.00:50
JGJonesAzelphur, to do what? (got Android myself :))00:50
AzelphurJGJones: mostly text based communication00:50
Azelphurthe deaf guys I know just rely heavily on SMS00:50
Core_UKwebpigeon: If I sign my mail with my openPGP key how do people know it is me?00:51
Core_UKI sent a test mail and it only showed an attachment with random letters/numbers00:51
JGJonesAzelphur, I've actually had a mobile since 1999 - for SMS then.00:51
webpigeonCore_UK: you publish the key on known keyservers00:51
Azelphurhehe :)00:51
Core_UKwebpigeon: i see00:52
JGJonesAzelphur, rather expensive then. Got even more expensive with 3G video calling about 10 years ago...00:52
webpigeonCore_UK: then a pgp aware client can work out if the signed message is signed with your private key using your published public key00:52
JGJonesAzelphur, now - with android/iOS - there's whatsapp, google talk, Tango (video chat), facetime etc etc so it's getting easier.00:52
JGJonesBlackberry are surprisingly very popular among the deaf due to BBM.00:52
Azelphur:)00:52
ali1234GSM data calls from 3G mobiles are rather expensive so an Ip based dialout service is going to be cheapest00:52
AzelphurJGJones: I love gtalk with android, I use it a lot :D00:53
JGJonesAzelphur, now with a tablet, I use Gtalk for video chat too00:53
AzelphurJGJones: you hear gtalk video chat is coming to phones too soon?00:53
Core_UKwebpigeon: do you know if I could send an email to a person so only they could see using openpgp?00:53
ali1234n900 already has it00:53
ali1234Azelphur: ^00:53
ali1234skype video too, for like a year now00:54
Azelphuryea, n900 is kinda abandoned now though00:54
ali1234it was abandoned at birth00:54
ali1234it still works as good today as it did then00:54
Azelphurindeed :(00:54
ali1234as a skype wifi phone you can't beat it00:54
webpigeonCore_UK: if you have their public key, you can encrypt your message using their public key and the person has to have the private key to decrypt it00:54
ali1234the built in skype works better than the PC client does even on windows00:54
Core_UKwebpigeon: ok great, thanks :)00:55
ali1234JGJones: is there like a loopback textphone test service?00:55
webpigeon<sidenote>Wonder if you could replace it with a speach to text & text to speech system on a box somewhere :/</sidenote>00:57
ali1234the hardest thing about setting this up is going to be finding a modem with drivers that still work on a recent linux00:57
webpigeonali1234: most modems are really dumb?00:57
ali1234not any more00:57
webpigeonawww :(00:57
ali1234most modems are now softmodems00:57
ali1234= winmodems00:57
ali1234loads of them don't work00:57
webpigeonwinmodems = lose :(00:58
ali1234and nobody cares because nobody uses modems any more00:58
ali1234although i just remembered i have a couple of standalone serial modems00:58
webpigeonali1234: if that were true we'd not be having this convosation :P00:58
ali1234hey what's this on textrelay.org01:00
ali1234http://www.texbox.co.uk/01:00
JGJonesali1234, I don't think there's a loopback service01:00
ali1234is there some automated phone line that i can ring without annoying anyone?01:01
JGJoneshmm01:01
JGJonesI can plug in my minicom and enable it to autoanswer01:01
ali1234could try that tomorrow01:01
JGJonesyou should get a message from it "caller not at home, leave a message GA" something like that01:01
ali1234or some time01:01
JGJonescommunication protocol for minicoms are in baudcot or V18 as far as I can remember01:02
ali1234internet says v.1801:02
JGJonesmy biggest issue really for me is having someone call me.01:02
ali1234how does that fit in?01:03
JGJonesI never give out my number, I can't answer voice calls.01:03
ali1234ok, so why would anyone call you?01:03
JGJonesif I used text relay exclusively, then my number would be 180020123456789001:04
JGJones18002 is the prefix for a hearing person to call someone deaf via text relay01:04
JGJonesas for why would anyone call me - cos they love me :)01:04
ali1234but... ok01:04
JGJonesseriously - I'll like to start a business :)01:04
ali1234so someone calls you using the relay01:04
ali1234your modem answers and gets the text01:04
ali1234and sends it to your mobile over jabber01:05
JGJonesand obviously having a number for someone to call is a no-brainer for any businesses01:05
JGJonesjabber...hmm...sound great....01:05
ali1234the whole thing can be done over jabber01:06
ali1234in fact someone probably already did it01:06
JGJonescurrently I'm use a London based number with a 4 digit extension for people to call me - this goes to SignVideo actually (hence london number) and leave a message01:06
ali1234hell, it's probably how that texbox product works01:06
JGJonestexbox - it's usually used by councils etc01:08
JGJonesfor example Bristol - http://goo.gl/8M76X01:09
ali1234http://code.google.com/p/jabber-terminal/01:09
ali1234^ that's pretty much all you need01:09
JGJonesone issue with jabber....01:09
JGJonesI assume that incoming calls would be automatically answered and goes onto jabber?01:10
ali1234no01:10
JGJonesno?01:10
ali1234an incoming call would cause the terminal emulator to emit "RINGRING" message01:10
ali1234which would then go to you over jabber01:10
ali1234you would need to type 'ATA' to make the modem answer01:10
JGJonesAh...that would work...01:10
ali1234the devil is of course in the detail but i think this is very much doable01:11
JGJonesjust need a jabber client that would actually make my phone vibrate the hell out of my pants instead of 2 brief vibrate I get01:11
ali1234yeah that too01:11
ali1234details :)01:11
JGJonesbut yeah...details...01:11
JGJonesI could also make calls using jabber too...01:12
ali1234yeah just "ATDT18001....."01:12
JGJoneswould be perfect as an alternative solution01:12
ali1234this all hinges on whether a normal modem and terminal emulator can act like a textphone. but i see no reason why it can't01:13
JGJonesIt can - well at least on Windows, you could use any modem with Hyperterminal01:13
ali1234well if hyperterminal can do it then linux can do it for sure01:13
JGJonesto use typetalk01:13
JGJonestext relay (typetalk's the old name for it)01:14
JGJonessome other chap earlier on mentioned cutecom01:14
JGJones!cutecom01:14
webpigeon!package cutecom01:14
ali1234!info cutecom01:14
lubotu3cutecom (source: cutecom): Graphical serial terminal, like minicom. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22.0-2 (natty), package size 53 kB, installed size 204 kB01:14
ali1234yeah you don't want a graphical one for this01:15
webpigeondamned bots01:15
ali1234you want a text console only one, so it can be forwarded over jabber/xmpp01:15
JGJones!info minicom01:15
lubotu3minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5-1 (natty), package size 278 kB, installed size 1164 kB01:15
JGJoneslike that one?01:15
ali1234so minicom, picocom, microcom, maybe even cu01:15
webpigeonali1234: or a software interface which can talk telepathy?01:16
ali1234maybe even a direct jabber-tty bridge would be even better01:16
ali1234webpigeon: yeah ^01:16
ali1234that would involve coding though :)01:16
webpigeontrue01:16
webpigeonWonder if there is a tty library for c/c++ :/01:16
ali1234prototype it with jabber-terminal and see what problems you hit, then you'll know what not to do if you implement it directly01:16
ali1234programming tty is trivial01:17
webpigeonnever done it01:17
ali1234you've never used stdout?01:17
webpigeonyeah, but that's just an output stream01:17
ali1234that's all a tty is01:18
ali1234input stream, output stream01:18
webpigeon\o/01:18
webpigeonso to forward it over telepathy is pretty trivial then, and considering telepathy will do the jabber stuff...01:18
ali1234sure01:18
webpigeonwhy hasn't anyone done that :/01:19
ali1234well jabber-terminal pretty much has01:19
webpigeongoodo01:19
JGJonescos there's not many deaf people using linux :)01:19
webpigeoni mean it's basiclly just echoing input and output over jabber01:20
ali1234there's a guy in this channel who has a highlight set on jabber and xmpp... one of the matt* guys i think01:21
webpigeonMattJ01:21
ali1234he seems to know a lot about jabber anyway, can probably give some useful advice01:21
webpigeonJabber \o/ (rebbaj as well if he's not removed it)01:21
webpigeonnext time i decide to type telepathy into google and expect meaningful results - :/01:22
webpigeonalthough that is my 3rd year project :P01:22
ali1234wow i just found out there is something called "ToIP"01:24
ali1234http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_over_IP01:24
webpigeontext over IRC :P01:25
JGJonesali1234, ToIP - it's actually real-time text01:27
ali1234yeah01:27
Muionixconnect irc.anonops.li01:28
JGJonesnot like IRC - type a sentence, click send etc. Instead each character is sent instanstly.01:28
ali1234i found a page where there's a bio of a guy who apparently works on tty-toip bridges for cisco01:28
ali1234tty is real time too01:28
ali1234jabber is not01:28
ali1234that could be a problem01:28
webpigeonsend and recv on end of line markers?01:29
webpigeonassuming it has them...01:29
ali1234jabber does, yeah01:29
ali1234splits messages into packets01:29
JGJonesali1234, the difference between tty and ToIP is that...when I am typing in textphone, the other end cannot interrupt etc.01:29
ali1234but if the person does not hit enter after typing a line01:29
ali1234then you won't see it01:29
JGJonesreal time - both person can type and both see characters etc instantly01:30
ali1234i would guess that is just a limitation of the textphone interface01:30
webpigeonJGJones: when you get messages on your text phone, do they appear char by char or as lines01:30
JGJoneswebpigeon, yes char by char01:31
webpigeonah I see01:31
JGJonesbut you can't type anything until they've finished01:31
webpigeonso there must be some kind of finished signal then?01:31
JGJonesToIP allow for two way real time conversation01:31
JGJonesno01:31
JGJonesI think it's more that the protocol is so slow, it's not easy to interrupt01:32
JGJones(and that on a minicom I have a single line of text display)01:32
webpigeonah, okies01:32
JGJonesa bit like calling call centres?01:33
webpigeonali1234: that might be a problem then (if you can't tell when a message has finsihed, you can't foward it on to jabber)01:33
JGJonespress 1 for annoying twat and music, press 2 for more crap, press 3 fo......press 32351 for others01:33
JGJoneson a minicom I have to WAIT until they've relayed the entire thing.01:34
webpigeon:/01:34
JGJonesToIP would mean I could just say 2 GA and be done with it.01:34
JGJonesGA = it's a shortcut on text conversations, just mean "Go Ahead, your turn"01:34
webpigeonso there is a kind of unoffical end of message?01:35
JGJoneswhen you've done your waffle - GA at end for next person's turn01:35
webpigeonlike \r\n in irc messages01:36
webpigeonokay, apples and oranges01:36
JGJonesit's pretty much the official textphone-speak to use GA at end of your speak as it let the other person that they can finally start typing.01:36
JGJonesand when the call is finished - SKSK (Stop Keying)01:37
webpigeonSo it could use it as a signal to send the message to jabber?01:37
JGJoneswell if I was typing in jabber I would just say "hello how are you, it's joe here ga"01:37
JGJonesthey reply....ga01:38
JGJonesyeah I won the lottery, gonna buy the moon ga01:38
JGJonesthey reply...ga01:38
webpigeonexactly01:38
JGJonesand so on01:38
JGJonessometime a bad habit...when I started using IM, I kept using ga all the time.01:38
webpigeonI was just thinking from a technical point of view, as to how to tell that it was time to send the message (because you can't send letter by letter)01:39
JGJonesyeah...ga/sksk was used because even though a minicom might do it letter by letter you still couldn't get a letter in while the other party is talking01:39
JGJones1 way01:39
webpigeonI see01:40
ali1234ok i need to get back to my excel spreadsheet01:41
ali1234but some time i'll look into this01:41
webpigeonYeah, I should probably sleep, but it seems like it's something very do-able01:42
JGJonessleep? what's that?01:45
JGJones!info sleep01:45
lubotu3Package sleep does not exist in natty01:45
JGJonesthought so.01:45

DJonesI'm more & more tempted by a Kindle, although can't decide whether the extra £40 for 3G is worth it, its not as if its a tablet that I'd use for web access10:19
DJonesLaney: Have you got a link for the offer so I can have a look10:19
gordwhy would you ever need 3g on a kindle?10:20
popeybuying books abroad10:20
popeyusing internet when not at home10:20

popeylots of reasons10:20
LaneyDJones: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-ebook-readers-kindles#kindle10:20
DJonesI'd agree with the downloading books when not at home/near a wifi station10:20
Laneytry tomorrow morning I guess10:20
gordall of which can be combated by waiting five minutes until you find wifi10:20
MartijnVdSpopey: I just load my e-book reader with 200 books -- I'll run out of battery before I run out of books to read :)10:20
gordor if you have your phone and your phone does tethering10:20

gordnot heard of any colour e-ink devices yet, maybe i'm out of the loop, every "ereader" (that i have seen for the pedantic peoples) labelled as colour has been an lcd display10:25

directhexdaubers, i meant anyone here10:47
MartijnVdSalso, lots of fibre engineers are being "hoarded" by a Dutch company (I've seen crews from 6 or 7 countries digging fibre in my town)10:47
directhexdaubers, and i'd love to know what BT's plan is if i ever need to call them out again to fix my line. apparently they've already written off one of the two copper pairs in my wall as defective.10:48

dogmatic69what does this mean? http://bin.cakephp.org/view/89914491910:49
directhexMartijnVdS, yes. the wiring is their property, after all. i just wonder *how* they'd fix it10:49

oimonis it safe to defrost bacon in the microwave?11:20
* oimon feeling rather unwell today11:20
JGJonesnot really11:20
JGJonesas bacon cook quickly, you'll be actually part-cooking it rather than defrosting11:21
oimoni gave it a good nuke when i cooked it though11:21
oimonstill feel nauseous though :(11:21
JGJonesI've cooked bacon in the microwave in the past just fine.11:21
dogmatic69JGJones: most bacon is smoked afaik, and thus already cooked11:21
TheOpenSourcererI've defrosted bacon in the microwave before.11:22
Laneyme too, very many times11:22
Laneystudents...11:22
JGJonesjust not for defrosting - however I don't have a microwave anymore11:22
oimoni do have a rather sensitive tummy11:22
TheOpenSourcererAs with most meats - just make sure you cook it properly.11:22
* TheOpenSourcerer happens to have a cast-iron stomach.11:22
JGJonesstudents...fun....along with mislabelled tins (a common prank is to swap labels around)11:22
oimoncommon cause of fire alarm on campus was due to first year students microwaving tins of beans without opening11:23

popeymight get some steak on the way home to night i think11:31
daubersYou bunch of weirdies :p11:31
TheOpenSourcererOne should note that red meats are generally OK rare. White meats and Pork need to be well cooked11:31
popeywhere "well cooked" != "burnt to a crisp"11:35
popeyooooo!11:35
popeyjust remembered I have some nice big prawns in the freezer11:35

MooDooDJones: bejeweled11:57
oimongord: especially when there's installshield, adobe, java, roxio, and windows update all popping up within 20 secs of each other "hey updates here"11:57
daubersI was talking about that with a chap I know who does some gaming stuff. He reckons that part of the problem is that there is no standard IDE for building those kind of things in Linux.11:57
daubersWas an interesting PoV11:57
MooDoodaubers: http://www.tuxgames.com/11:57
DJonesMooDoo: Nah, city/farm/jungle/insert random comment-ville games11:57
directhexDJones, well, yes, facebook games. i mean real games.11:58
DJonesdirecthex: To her, they are real games, almost real life at times :)11:58
directhexdaubers, i don't think that's it at all. especially given some consoles have traditionally used linux-based development environments11:59
directhexdaubers, it comes down to simple economics11:59
daubersdirecthex: I don't think it's the whole of the problem, maybe a small part11:59
DJonesTried to get her interested in Minecraft, but she decided that it was too complex and she wouldn't have the patience/ability for it11:59
directhexdaubers, paying a dev to make a linux version costs money. even if they do it free of charge, you need the support structure in place to support it. and linux support costs more than windows support due to infinite variability - why spend that on a tiny market?12:00
directhexwifey is currently playing mass effect 2.12:00
daubersdirecthex: Also, those consoles would provide (I suspect) some mangled version of eclipse as their IDE with standard components and bits. Where as doing that for a linux distribution will be a lot more spread out tool wise12:00
oimonwhy do we always try to get our wives interested in stuff we like? my wife never tries to get me knitting12:00
directhexdaubers, less the IDE, more the libs. even the games that *do* exist for linux don't usually run anymore after a year or two, due to lib changes12:01
daubersdirecthex: Just thought it was an interesting point :)12:01
directhexoimon, we were playing videogames together in our teens. no coercion.12:01
gorda year or two is a bit misleading12:01
gordmaybe 5-8 years12:01
directhexgord, they already target old versions of libs, to have a chance of working on the greatest number of distros12:02
directhexnobody wants a "your libc is too old" message12:02
gordgames tend to rely on very little libraries, basically sdl -> X and audiolibraryfoo -> alsa12:02
s-foxAmazing video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJIXXyQYyHA12:03
JGJonesso copying OSX's packaging method would work for games? everything self-contained12:03
gordthat is pretty much how games are shipped12:03
directhexJGJones, except for the one thing they don't copy, that'll break, guaranteed.12:03
gordits not copying, its just "having it all in the same directory"12:03
gordits been done for years12:03
directhexi've seen games break by shipping their own libpng, fr'example, rather than using the distro one12:03
daubersAlanBell: One of your twitter links doesn't make sense12:04
AlanBelldaubers: which one?12:04
gordin the end, closed software has a shelf-life, hard to get old windows games working on windows too12:04
daubersAlanBell: http://t.co/hddljPz <- That one, just takes me to a sign in page12:04
directhexyeah, some windows games are hard to get working. some are pretty much impossible12:04
* daubers has gone back to board games12:05
directhexi love the irony that older games are often easier to coax than newer ones12:05
directhexe.g. maddeningly, Broken Sword 1-3 are fine on a dualcore cpu, 4 is not12:05
AlanBelldaubers: ok, will fix, should link to this http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/show/Search_View.aspx?ID=JUN09390312:06

AlanBellyeah, I have registered interest and emailed the chap running it12:07

dwatkins(this was about 8 years ago, I don't know how the project is going)12:10
dwatkinsI live in Scotland.12:10

dwatkinsyeah, danfish? I have only experienced it from the perspective of donating blood and a brief visit to a GP, which both seemed similar to England12:12

danfishI used to do the same with a memory stick, and then use freeOTFE on windows as needed. Worked well.12:35

oimoni read that the fbi came in the night and took 3 racks of servers away from the hosting provider, "Mr. Ostroumow said. However, the agents took entire server racks, perhaps because they mistakenly thought that “one enclosure is = to one server,” he said in an e-mail."13:48

Core_UKI dont understand how moving the mouse stops it though19:39
AlanBellprobably cursor moving rather than mouse19:40
AlanBelldoes running something like glxgears stop it too?19:40
Core_UKill test19:40
AlanBelljust to get movement on the screen19:40
Core_UKno19:41
gordits really just because there is a change19:41
Core_UKits not screen movement19:41
gordso the computer is doing something different19:41
gordwhich means you get different interference19:41
ali1234yes. if you provide no input the the computer it will just run through the same input polling loops over and over in a deterministic way, which gives a fixed frequency interference19:42
Core_UKon windows I could use my mic-in port for headphones19:42
ali1234if you move the mouse then that's pseudo random input - the interference will move around all frequencies and become less noticable19:42
gordall my different video games end up making different interference sounds on mine :)19:42
Core_UKok :)19:43
gordbut yeah, little usb thing will do wonders19:43
ali1234btw the way you fix that problem is to turn the master mixer down and turn the wave mixer up, or vice versa19:43
Core_UKhow do I get to that from within 11.04 ali1234 ?19:44
ali1234good question19:44
Core_UKthe sound utility doesnt seem that have that option19:44
BigRedSalsamixer might do it?19:44
BigRedSor alsamixergui19:45
AlanBellpavucontrol19:45
ali1234alsamixer will do it, yes19:45
ali1234pavucontrol won't do it19:46
Core_UKalsamixergui only offers master and capture19:49
Core_UKcan anyone recommend a usb sound card that works well with linux?19:58
Core_UKor will any work?20:04
gordCore_UK, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-GC16031-Quality-Recording-Playback/dp/B000BVV2IC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308769480&sr=8-1 has worked wonders for me20:04
gord"just works"20:05
dwatkinsI have a Griffic iMic, the older style one, it works fine.20:25
Core_UKCan anyone recommend a good sci-fi series with a few seasons worth of content not stargate or startrek (finished them all :P)20:33
gordfarscape20:33
gordhalf its episodes are just awful but the other half are really good20:33
Core_UKby first half you mean the first 2 seasons?20:34
Core_UKoh it has the main guy out of SG:A in it :)20:35
dwatkinsCore_UK: Fringe20:35
Core_UKsomeone has recommended Fringe before20:36
Core_UKthe fact it is not in space puts me off though :|20:36
dwatkinsIt's excellent, I can completely understand why they would do that ;)20:36
dwatkinsIt's fine, you don't need fake sounds in space to make good sci-fi :)20:37
dwatkinsBSG is set in space but I found it as boring as Eastenders at times.20:37
dwatkins[the new series, that is]20:37
Core_UKyeah i found that20:38
Core_UKBSG made number 1 the top 50 i am reading ><20:41
Core_UKbeating SG and ST o.O20:41
AlanBellhttp://gong.ust.hk/nanogong/nanogong42.html does this work for anyone?20:43
AlanBelljava applet to run, does the top one record sound and play it back OK?20:43
dwatkinsooh, food time20:44
Core_UKAlanBell: yeah seems to work20:51
AlanBellthanks, seems to be some temporary pulse oddness here, mine works now too20:52

marsilainenhi, how should I go about ripping my (movie) DVDs? I want to keep them in full quality format, and watch them with menus still active etc, just without putting the physical discs into the machine21:43
MartijnVdSonly 22.22kg :P21:43
brobostigonMartijnVdS: true,21:44
MartijnVdSwait.. I'm converting the wrong kind of Pound :P21:44
diplo-marsilainen, can just take a copy of the iso21:44
brobostigonMartijnVdS: quite, i wasnt concentrating.21:44
diplo-Depends if you want to save space as well21:45
jacobwTIMC is *awesome*21:45
diplo-programs like dvd9to521:45
MartijnVdSmarsilainen: you can try dvdbackup21:45
jacobwdvd::rip21:45
marsilainendiplo: I'm not interested in saving space - I'm happy to just take a full iso21:45
diplo-If you are not worried about size just copy the iso21:45
marsilainenwhat is the easy way to copy from physical disk to iso?21:45
MartijnVdSmarsilainen: dd?21:45
marsilainenok21:45
MartijnVdS(does that work on encrypted DVDs? I don't know)21:46
marsilainenand then how do I view the menus on that?21:46
popeymarsilainen: dvd::rip21:46
dwatkinsmarsilainen: Handbrake21:46
* dwatkins grins at popey 21:46
popeyhttp://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/21:46
diplo-Handbrake won't  leave menus dwatkins ?21:46
popey^^ marsilainen21:46
marsilainenok, thanks21:46
diplo-marsilainen, from MartijnVdS comment, just this will copy dd if=/dev/dvd of=mydvd.iso21:47
jacobwdvd::rip is good because you can rip the data [fairly] quickly and transcode it later21:47
MartijnVdSdiplo-: except if it's encrypted21:47
marsilainenso, hang on, the dd option is no good for encrypted dvds?21:47
MartijnVdSmarsilainen: I think so, yes. You can always try of course21:47
marsilainendvd::rip will keep the full quality of the dvd with menus?21:47
brobostigonthe iso will therefore also be encrypted.21:47
diplo-Fine if libdvdcss is installed afaik21:48
jacobwit'll do exactly what its supposed to, create an exact copy of the disc21:48
MartijnVdSdiplo-: dd doesn't know about libdvdcss21:48
brobostigonjacobw: exactly.21:48
marsilaineneven if it's encrypted then I can still watch it with vlc or whatever right? I mean, wont that do the unencrypting using libdvdcss or whatever?21:48
diplo-No but the programs mounting/playing the iso's do21:48
brobostigoni suppose you couldplay the *.iso with vlc, with libdvdcss installd ?21:49
jacobwwhy wouldn't that be playable using a libdvdcss aware media player?21:49
diplo-yeah, + alot of media players will auto mount iso's21:49
marsilainenok, so if I rip with dd to a .iso, and then use vlc I should be good?21:49
marsilainenI shall give it a go...21:49
jacobwyes21:49
brobostigonmarsilainen: with libdvdcss installed, yes,21:49
jacobwunless there's something i don't know about css21:50
marsilainenok, thanks guys, I'll give it a go and report back :)21:50
* jacobw downloads the popeycast21:53
ubuntuuk-planet[Laura Czajkowski] Ubuntu-ie and Canonical Meet up in Dublin - http://www.lczajkowski.com/2011/06/22/ubuntu-ie-and-canonical-meet-up-in-dublin/22:05
ubuntuuk-planet[Ubuntu UK Podcast] S04E09  Brave New World - http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2011/06/22/s04e09-brave-new-world/22:05
marsilainenok, using dd to rip a dvd to a .iso, and then vlc to watch it worked for 1 disc22:05
marsilainenfor another couple though it failed to copy with dd22:05
marsilainencopy protection maybe?22:06
MartijnVdSmaybe22:06
marsilainenI got: dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error22:06
MartijnVdSmarsilainen: try vlc on the disk first (to unlock it)22:06
MartijnVdSmarsilainen: _then_ dd22:06
marsilainenhmm, ok22:06
marsilainenso what, run vlc on the disc, then close vlc and dd?22:06
marsilainenor leave vlc running the whole time?22:07
MartijnVdSI don't know, try several permutations and see which one works :)22:08
marsilainenI tried that and it got further - it got up to 1.2GB this time instead of failing soon after starting22:11
marsilainenbut it still failed in the end :/22:11
TheOpenSourcererFun and a bit weird - Only in Sweden: http://t.co/Dns7Q8222:13
diplo-dirty disc marsilainen ?22:13
marsilainendiplo-: I don't think so, I keep my discs well, and I've tried with 2 discs from the same box set now with same result22:14
marsilainenthe distributor is Sony Entertainment which makes me wonder if copy protection issue...22:14
marsilainenI can watch these discs fine if I use vlc direct on the disc to watch22:15
daubershttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13874049 <- That is ace!22:19
daubersSpongiforma squarepantsii ftw \o/22:19
diplo-I've had a few issues with a few discs copying them marsilainen ended up using dvdshrink with wine worked in the end22:20
diplo-But i rip most of mine to mkv's to keep chapters but loose the menus22:20
marsilainendiplo-: ok, sure, thanks, will bare that in mind22:21
marsilainenI'd still like to keep the extra features etc22:21
marsilainenI literally want a copy of all my discs in a more convenient way to watch them22:21
marsilainendd seems like it will work for some at least22:21
diplo-yeah I debated that, but I thought the amount I ever watch extras is that I get the dvd out if i ever wanted that, saves loads of space then22:22
marsilainenyeah, everyone is different I guess :)22:22
marsilainenfor me, I don't have so many discs and disk space is cheap so I'd rather have everything on tap22:23
marsilainenYMMV22:23
diplo-:)22:23
diplo-#600-700 dvd's22:23
diplo-So yeah space is an issue for me :)22:23
marsilainenyep, fair enough :)22:29
marsilainenI guess I've only bought ~50 DVDs so far, so it's not a big deal for me :)22:30
marsilainenI only buy things I really like22:30
brobostigongood night everyone, sleep well.22:31
directhexpopey: i think that was the plan. i no longer develop the plugin, canonical people do22:35
