MyrttiI just realised that I probably can attend OggCamp this year.08:12
popeyyay!08:12
Myrttiall things being equal and nothing that can't be postponed by a week waiting for me in Finland...08:13
AlanBellgreat!08:13
MyrttiI'm trying very hard to find good things in life, as you may have noticedc08:13
Myrttiso08:13
Myrttiyay08:13
Myrttiin the meantime, I'll amuse myself with googling expensive cars, jewelry and home appliances.08:16
AlanBellone of these things is not like the others08:17
popeymmmm white goods08:17
popeyhttp://drool.popey.com/08:18
bigcalmMyrtti: \o/08:18
Myrttidoes a 3D printer that prints with chocolate count as a home appliance?08:18
danfishmorning08:21
BigRedSMyrtti: It counts as *the* home appliance08:21
danfishMyrtti: a 3d printer that prints with chocolate will soon count as a basic human right ;)08:21
Myrttion the other hand, I'm also googling robotic lawnmowers and air source heat pumps08:22
MartijnVdSMyrtti: Robotic lawn mowers? Like a Roomba's big brother? :)08:23
MyrttiHusqvarna has had robotic lawn mowers before roombas existed :-)08:24
danfishhmm - nasty wet day and afternoon off08:27
BigRedSrobotic lawn moweres sounds like a hilariously scary idea08:27
BigRedSI want one08:27
BigRedSautonomous whirly blades of death08:27
danfishthink it's time to give the pink laptop an ubuntu spray can pimping08:27
danfishBigRedS: combine that with one of those quadcopters...very scary08:28
Myrttiyeah well I've recently gained an ownership of a detached house on a hillside with lots of bushes and odd shaped plantings that nobody wants or enjoys to mow...08:29
Myrttiso giving the job to our robotic overlords would be nice, if I only had the money to invest on such gear.08:30
Garyonce you start on that route, they will soon take over and we'll all be dammed!08:31
Myrttistrictly speaking I've recently gained an ownership of a half of a detached house08:31
danfishMyrtti: an arduino, a chainsaw, old lawnmower and some glue - job done :)08:32
MyrttiI've not yet decided should I go carve my half with an axe08:32
Myrttior just dynamite the house down and split the pile of rubble into halfs and quarters08:32
Myrttidanfish: that sounds terribly like work08:33
oimonpay a teenager to maintain it08:33
Myrttioimon: there's more truth in your words than you know...08:33
Myrttisadly :-|08:34
Myrttiaw, now I need to balance this discussion out with pictures of expensive jewelry08:35
daubersMorning08:55
popeylo08:57

* popey glances out the window09:01

daubersdanfish: unfortunatley the wife has rules about things that a) Might break the law, b) might kill someone and c) Might end up taking over the universe and using it's subjugated human slaves to inflict terrible crimes upon the rest of the universe and any parallel to this one09:02
daubersOtherwise, I'd be there with my soldering iron ready09:02
Myrttiaw09:02
daubersShe threatened to put it in her wedding vows09:02
danfishdaubers: it's always the little details.........09:03
daubersdanfish: Yup :(09:04
MartijnVdSdaubers: you're really that close to taking over the world with robots? :)09:11
daubersMartijnVdS: When you're wife trains in law, she quickly learns to not leave any stone unturned09:14
daubersMartijnVdS: I think there was also a clause about getting the law changed so I could specifically do something was also frowned upon also09:14
MartijnVdShaha :)09:15

BigRedSPlease. I'd like to have less work to do :)12:24
oimonmy wife watches a lot fo escape to the country and i'm getting tempted to up sticks12:24
BigRedSoimon: you can come here, too :)12:25

kirrusPlease do, the more the merrier! It's linux sysadmin / tech support, for website hosting. No windows servers here ;)12:30
Garykirrus: meh :'(  that last bit made me cry12:30
kirrusWell, almost no windows servers. For some reason, finding someone who'll do door-control systems on linux is almost impossible12:31
* Gary sadly supports windows servers12:31
Garykirrus: can I support your door access system then?12:31
dauberskirrus: I know a couple of people who made one of those for the comp sci soc at Swansea12:31

vflinuxI sent my cv for the email above12:32

vflinuxMy cv is not a "Greate Deal"12:33
kirrusdaubers: cool! Have they got a site or 'code available? It might not work with our (proprietory) RFID card readers, is the only down side12:33

oimonis there an easy way to find out which chromium tabs i have open, and switch to it? finding it difficult with > 50 tabs13:10
davmor2Myrtti: why what flavour is it?13:10
ujjainclose the tabs you don't use?13:10
gordoimon, try typing in to the address bar the name of the website you want, at least firefox, will switch to the tab you have that website open in13:10
oimongord: yes, firefox is cool like that13:11
gordall the major browsers tend to have the same features these days so i'm assuming chrome does too13:11
Myrttidavmor2: dandelion burdock - it's a flavour totally unknown in here, people go "bwha?" when I tell them about it, and they see it as "coke with a weird taste"13:11
oimonchromium is rather lacking13:11
oimonthe awesome bar in chromium is not called the awesome bar for a reason13:11
gordoh well then i dunno, maybe an extension?13:11
oimonMyrtti: d&b rules13:11
oimongord: i think i just like firefox too much..hope they fix the memory issues soon13:12
gordtime to spend my walk about 3ds coins on pictures -_-13:12
davmor2Myrtti: Hmmmmmm dandelion and burdock hmmmmmmmmmmm13:12
davmor2Myrtti: trust me you wouldn't keep it in the UK :)13:12
gordmy mii now has kitty cat ears, freaking out all the children i wander past i hope13:12
Myrttidavmor2: I know13:14
Myrttiapart when at home, dsample doesn't like carbonated drinks at all :-D13:14
davmor2gord: I got a bargain  in buxton last week Dungeon Seige III for ps3 for 19.99 10 off the game card and it had 10 off it anyway looks like a good game so far :) little slower than I'm used to and hard as hell in places but fun :)13:16
gorddavmor2, yeah they screwed up the co-op in that game so its not selling well, shame, its by obsidian so it must have a good story13:16
davmor2gord: generally a great game, not quite on par with the others but I played them on PC so it was a different kinda game.  Gfx are beautiful, game play engaging etc13:18
hoovercheers all13:28

shaunoI think + stands a better chance because people have half a clue what it's *for*14:54
shaunowave was really quite interesting, but didn't have a stand-out purpose14:54

oimonanyone used openfiler as a NAS? it's pretty useful14:59
danfishNg: free ec2 microinstance for a year?15:00
Ngdanfish: that is currently my leading contender, but I'm shopping around to see if there's a good VPS option :)15:01
JGJonesNg you could just setup a microinstance for a year and pay nothing and use this time to shop around for a good VPS option :) I'm using it as my webserver at the moment.15:02
Nghehe15:02
NgI probably want to do EBS root though, which may ruin my ability to use a free instance15:03
DavieyNg: I'll give you a free one, running an old version of centos?15:05
NgDaviey: that sounds.... horrible ;)15:05
DavieyNg: No reason for that, other than to be mean:)15:05
NgDaviey: I don't mind being mean to centos!15:05
gordi can give you access to a zx spectrum? it might be a better system than what Daviey is proposing15:06
gingyou have an internet enabled spectrum?15:07
popeyNg: bitfolk have capacity now15:07
popeyNg: I just got one15:07
gordwell no, but we can print off screens and then input them to an internet enabled computer15:07

DJonesBigRedS: Was reading the same info15:35
BigRedSBig column with a massive engine at the bottom15:35
JGJonesheh that's pretty much true. Although I recall reading that NASA doesn't have a clue how to put together a Saturn V anymore - engineering plans etc was lost?15:36
daubersBigRedS: More efficient that way for heavy lofting (which is the phase we're going through)15:36
shaunotoo embarassed to ask the russians for a copy I guess15:36
daubersshauno: They'd go ask SpaceX instead these days15:36
daubersor the ESA15:36
BigRedSJGJones: yeah, there was a lot of thought that we'll never make one of those again at the beginning of the STS programme15:36
shaunoI'm just assuming the russians would have copies of the original ;)15:36
BigRedSwhere 'we' = 'the americans', I suppose15:37
JGJonesshauno, They did ask the Russians.15:37
BigRedSdaubers: yeah, STS never really became teh shuttle it was supposed do anyway15:37
JGJonesBut the Russians was too embarassed to ask the Chinese for their copy of their copy.15:37
JGJonesBigRedS, You can blame the US military for that.15:38
JGJonesStage 2 separation successful15:38
BigRedSJGJones: I do :)15:39
shaunopft.  stop cutting back to the ground.  I've been watching the ground for hours15:39
daubersBigRedS: I'm more excited about the stuff coming from SpaceX these days. Old Musk trying to put people on Mars privatley15:39
BigRedSdaubers: I'm quite intrigued by the usaf having another go at what they wanted from sts15:40
popeyshame the russian Buran one never took off either15:40

BigRedSmm, it *is* an expensive way to go to space, though15:41
BigRedSnot that there's really a cheap way15:41
shaunoI don't think it's really that expensive :/15:41
daubersBigRedS: That first bit is hard, once you're up it's relativley easy15:42
daubersBlasted gravity wells15:42
JGJonespopey heh I was just looking up the Buran - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_(spacecraft)15:42
shaunoone figure I saw bandied around recently, was that nasa's budget this year, was roughly equal to what the US military was spending on air conditioning in afghanistan15:42
popeyhttp://www.buran.ru/htm/molniya.htm15:42
JGJonesBy no means whatsoever is the Buran a carbon copy of the Shuttle...that's impossible...just a pure fluke they look alike :-D15:42
shaunoit /is/ a lot of money, but in that kinda context, nasa's a bargain15:43
BigRedS shauno oh yeah, but it's cheaper to put a rocket on a stick15:43
oimondid they take off yet?15:43
BigRedSwhich is why that's what the soviets did15:43

* ball pokes at a new Xubuntu box with a sharpened stick.15:43
JGJonespopey, the Buran did have a launch - in fact it was the only fully automated launch of a shuttle until 2010 by the NASA so it achieved something.15:44
davmor2Xubuntu box dies from being stabbed with a pointy stick15:44
directhexJGJones, buran was much better in many respects15:46
directhexJGJones, e.g. it had actual safety measures built in, which shuttle doesn't15:47
popeyJGJones: i meant "took off" in the "was successful" meaning15:47
shaunoappears it was bigger too.  of course :)15:47
popeyseems there's one in germany15:47

* ball laments the fact that Britain was the only country (that I know of) to successfully develop satellite launch capability and then just throw it away.15:51
daubersball: Cheaper to let the rest of europe pay for it15:51
ballPerhaps, but still... we seem to have a habit of that.15:52
daubersball: However, we develop most of the satellite tech that's being launched these days15:52
BigRedSball: we've a distinguished history (well, for the past century or so) of developing something just to prove we can, and then buying the US version so someone else has to maintain it for us15:55
directhexand cocking up when we try to DIY it, e.g. Nimrod?15:58
daubersdirecthex: Nimrod is an interesting case, as it was being built by BAE (so still a private purchase) and lots of those from that period ended up being a cockup15:58
directhexdaubers, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllll15:59
directhex"built by BAE" isn't strictly true. built by de havilland!15:59
daubersUnder licence from BAE wasn't it?15:59
* BigRedS sees directhex's nimdrod and raises him a V-bomber16:00
daubershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Nimrod_MRA416:01
directhexdaubers, BAe didn't exist when our state-of-the-art russian subhunters were being originally built16:01
daubersOriginal Nimrods where ol16:01
ballI'm going to try tweaking a CMOS setting.16:01
daubersok16:02
directhexdaubers, remember, our multi-billion-pound nimrods were retrofitted 1940s dehavilland comets16:02
Myrttiyall funny16:02
BigRedSCome now, you've worded that specifically to make it sound bad16:02
directhexthe project's cost was almost entirely because comets were never manufactured. they were coach-built. so every retrofitted nimrod had to be done coach too. down to the last screw, since thos never matched16:03
daubersdirecthex: Most military aircraft of that ilk are based on a given airframe and modified for the purpose. Building one from scratch would be even more expensive16:04
directhexdaubers, correct.16:05
directhexdaubers, but of all the airframes to pick...16:05
daubersdirecthex: Was the best airframe available at the time for the purpose needed16:05
directhexdaubers, there's a reason india bought its much newer much better 737-based spy planes recently for a hundredth of the cost16:05
daubersdirecthex: Hindsight is an amazing thing really....16:05
directhexdaubers, we're talking about the nimrods they were still building for delivery this decade. a de havilland comet is not an appropriate airframe for hunting russian subs in the 2010s16:06
daubersI'd be surprised if we actually keep any thing of that sight. With Skynet now quite powerful, it'd be cheaper/more efficient to fly a fleet of drones16:06
dauberss/sight/size16:06
directhexhell, 737s are so cheap these days, the spares come free in packets of breakfast cereal - as opposed to needing to be forged individually16:07
BigRedSyeah, I suspect that most of that sort of size aircraft will only get anotehr generation or so16:07
daubersBigRedS: Exception will be passenger transport. I expect them to get bigger (i.e. A380)16:08
daubersdirecthex: We operate some 737 based spy planes16:08
* BigRedS always forgets there's that whole civil part of aviation16:08
daubersor 707, I forget which16:08
directhexdc4!16:09
BigRedSdaubers: we have EC3s which are 707s16:09
daubersIt'll all go to drones in the next 15 years or so16:12
dauberscheaper to make/operate and less risky to lose16:12
BigRedSyeah, but the air force do love their planes16:13
daubersWe'll probably keep fast jets for a bit longer for situations where drones aren't good enough16:14
BigRedSoh yeah, I think we'll have fast jets for quite a long time16:14
BigRedSmuch longer than we *need* to. But I can see raf objecting to losing their, say, EC3s16:15
daubersThat'll be the RAFs "thing" for a bit. Until LEO is a problem, then RAF'll move up there with drones at a lower level16:15
BigRedSin the same way as the Navy just managed to end up with a peculiar surface fleet16:15

stemountevenin'18:30
bigcalmMorning18:30
Amy1004I have a VPS, I'm trying to create users accounts via the command line and assign the accounts to a directory and lock them into it, for example, adduser: "alex" and lock him into "/var/www/a/alex" so "alex" can't access other directories such as "/var/www/a/amy"18:31
ali1234it's kind of hard to do that...18:31
bigcalmYou can do it with FTP18:32
* bigcalm shudders at the mention of FTP18:32
ali1234yes, but ftp sucks18:32
bigcalm+118:32
stemountFTP FTW18:32
* stemount runs18:32
AlanBellAmy1004: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian18:34
AlanBellor this which was the one I intended to find http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ap-chroot-ssh-env.en.html18:35
AlanBellor google ssh and chroot, there are quite a few guides of variable quality and age18:37
Amy1004bigcalm, with FTP/sFTP I know I can lock a user to a directory, but what's happened is "alex" uploaded a php script which opened access to other directories "amy" etc... because "alex" was only restricted while logged in via FTP but the directory itself isn't locked.18:38
Amy1004Thanks AlanBell I'll look into that now.18:38
ali1234good luck fixing *that* one18:38
ali1234user www *needs* read access to web directories18:39
stemountAmy1004: openbase_dir?18:39
AlanBellah, you need to run multiple web servers for that I guess18:39
Amy1004AlanBell, multiple web servers?18:40
Amy1004AlanBell, I only have 1 VPS18:40
stemountAmy1004: openbase_dir is exactly what you want :-p18:40
bigcalmI was going to suggest chroot, but I wasn't sure how much control over the users you can exert18:40
AlanBellone web server process per user chrooted to the users area and running as the user, but stemount is probably right :)18:40

^aDaMWhat other programmes are there other then pitivi20:04
popey^aDaM: xptv is the internal format, you then need to "render" it out to video20:04
popeyclick render, choose a format, job done20:04
^aDaMpopey: ah right thanks mate :)20:06
^aDaMAfter I have rendered it where dose it save to?20:25

dauberslo20:33
popeyYes20:33
^aDaMlo daubers20:34
daubersI've never realised how weird security protocals like oAuth actually are20:40
daubersAlanBell: Ever written an oauth service in django?20:59
AlanBellnope21:02
AlanBellI have written a python app or two that uses oauth through libraries21:02
AlanBelllplib for example21:02
daubersThat acts as the client?21:02
AlanBelland tweepy21:03
AlanBellyes21:03
AlanBellno idea how to do the other end21:03
daubersHmmm.... I want to make my home automation stuff work through my phone, but to make it .... safe.... I need to oauth it really21:03
AlanBellin fact I have no idea how it works, I just followed the instructions and it did21:03
daubersHmmm....21:04
daubersLooks like an evening or two with a notebook trying to understand it21:06
czajkowskievening folks21:27
dauberso/21:27
czajkowskihow are we all doing eh21:27
daubersczajkowski: confused but good :)21:30
daubersczajkowski: How's the back?21:30
czajkowskisore21:31
czajkowskiwhy confused21:31
czajkowskigo compare21:31
dauberstrying to understand oAuth, there's too many players in this game to make it easily understandible21:31
AlanBello/21:40
daubersAlanBell: With the global Jam, why don't we do something different and organise a set of short courses on various linuxy technologies/security stuff21:43
AlanBellthat would be interesting21:45
AlanBellthe big question is online vs something in the real world21:45
AlanBellfor which a venue of some form would be handy21:45
daubersreal world would be better, but an online side as a plus would be better still21:46
daubersI'd be very appreciative if someone did a bit on oAuth :)21:46
AlanBellI bet!21:46
* daubers whistles innocently21:47
czajkowskiwe do both21:50
czajkowskisat face to face21:50
czajkowskisunday via irc21:50
AlanBellwhere?21:50
czajkowskiireland21:51
czajkowskiwe do it at the hackerspace21:51
czajkowskiin dublin21:51
AlanBellwondering whether we should try to find somewhere in London for everyone to take a train to, or say sod it and do one in Farnham21:51
czajkowskiask the hacker spaces for help21:52
AlanBellI was going to take the London hack space a bunch of CDs the other day, will try to do that monday21:53
daubersI suspect the London hackspace would be open to it (and probably do a talk on something if asked)21:53
daubersIf they would do a talk on building electronically controlled secure door locks that would be amazing \o/22:00
daubersIn one day I could conquer dozens of holes in my understanding22:00
AlanBellthey have two things on Sat 4th Sept http://london.hackspace.org.uk/events/ ~22:02
AlanBelland they kind of need money22:03
daubersThere's nothing in the building on the sunday (which is the 4th)22:03
AlanBellhttp://wiki.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Laboratory_24 nice space though22:04
daubersWhat kind of money?22:04
AlanBelldunno, but the rent on the place is paid by members, I can't see them wanting a bunch of non-members turning up, doing stuff and going away without some contribution to costs22:06
AlanBellwhich we totally can do22:06
daubersIndeed22:06
czajkowskiAlanBell: we ask the hackerspace for a once off22:07
czajkowskiso it goes to the members22:07
czajkowskimembers ok it22:07
czajkowskiand in turn they can come in and learn stuff22:07
czajkowskiequaly they can give a talk22:08
daubers(and teach stuff)22:08
daubersand potentially recruit new members22:08
czajkowskithe idea is meant to be ubuntu related so really we tend to keep it that way22:08
daubersczajkowski: But shurley open collaboration is Ubuntu related .......22:10
czajkowskiwell it depends what you want from the day imo22:10
czajkowskiwe set out tasks of what we wnat to get done22:10
czajkowskibe it learn how to report bugs as 3 did the last time22:11
czajkowski2 wanted to clean up the wiki22:11
czajkowskiand 2 wanted to update bugs22:11
czajkowskiwe also want  new members so some of the hacker space people popped in22:11
czajkowskiif they are interested great22:11
czajkowskiif not fine22:11
czajkowskibut we appreciate their space as its free22:11
czajkowskidiluating the day into a set of talks isnt what a ugj is about22:11
czajkowskiwe also used to hold a set of talks on logging into lp22:12
czajkowskisigning the coc22:13
czajkowskihow to find bite size bugs22:13
czajkowskieach team is different22:13
czajkowskimake the uk one suit ye is all i can say, ireland is a lot smaller so we do things differently which has worked out well in the past for us22:14
* daubers throws an email out to the world22:16
daubersShame it's not in the next month or so. We've just bought a new building at work and it's going to remain largley empty for about 12 weeks while plans are made on how to kit it out. Would have been a useful space to use22:17
AlanBellI will see if I can pop in with those CDs next week, should be in London Monday and Wednesday, but fairly busy both days22:18
czajkowskidaubers: nothing to stop the team having a dry run22:19
AlanBellwould like to see them and give them something before asking for a free venue22:19
daubersczajkowski: Theale might be a bit out the way for a lot of people22:19
AlanBellLondon is out of the way for a lot of people22:19
AlanBelljust equally out of the way for everyone22:19
AlanBelltheale looks way more convenient than London for me22:20
czajkowskinothing stopping having lots of ugjs either22:21
daubersI'll ask the boss on Monday if we can borrow the new bit for a weekend while it's empty22:21
AlanBellcool22:21
czajkowskias sure enough someone is gonna whinge on the list waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's in london22:21
czajkowskiat which point i shall snap and say go organise o9ne in your local area22:21
daubersUGJ is about the time we want the builders to be ripping walls down, so might not be doable then :)22:22
* AlanBell does not want czajkowski to snap22:22
daubersczajkowski: Don't snap! Bribe!22:22
czajkowskiherd22:22
czajkowskiwhip22:22
czajkowskiprod22:22
czajkowskicattle prod22:23
czajkowskiwhere is Davmor2 when i need him22:23
daubersAlanBell: London has a lot more public transport links than Theale :) Though we should really throw together a car sharing type website for these events22:23
daubersin a "insert your route and see who you pass close too" kinda way22:23
AlanBelldaubers: theale is driveable, London isn't22:23
AlanBellso it is easy22:23
AlanBelland there is a theale rail station for people who like trains22:24
AlanBellnot sure how important public transport is vs parking space for this LoCo22:25
daubersAlanBell: Closest station to my office is Aldermaston (about a 25 minute walk along narrow roads away)22:25
daubersHowever, it's 5 mins in the car :)22:27
daubersOut of interest, is anyone in here going to Oggcamp from the Reading/Tilehurst area? I have space in my car if people don't mind turning up early/leaving late22:27
daubersAlanBell: We could always do something using the google+ "hangout" thing22:30
daubersmass video+voice meeting22:31
AlanBellyup, could do22:32
AlanBellI don't really care about sticking to the official global dates22:33
AlanBellplenty of other teams don't22:33
daubersI'll ask work about the space, there's no firm plans on when stuff is happening at the moment as my boss keeps going abroad on short notice, so planning stuff takes a long time!22:34
daubersMight end up full of components by the end of the week after next the way things are going :(22:35
TheOpenSourcererhello22:35
dauberso/22:36
* daubers heads off to bed22:37
daubersto dream of an oAuth based control system for his lighting and door access22:37
TheOpenSourcerersado22:38
daubersTheOpenSourcerer: Unfortunatly true, however maybe I'll understand how it works by the morning22:39
daubersNight!22:39
hcfdHi guys. I feel silly. I'm trying to get tftpd running (via xinet.d) under Ubuntu 10.04, and the service is running but port 69 is not listening. Any hints?22:43
