| AlanBell | morning all | 06:20 |
|---|---|---|
| BigRedS | popey: haha, just as I silenced my alarm my laptop beeped at me... :) | 06:27 |
| daubers | lo | 06:28 |
| BigRedS | good morning! | 06:28 |
| * daubers is almost ready for a train ride to londered | 06:29 | |
| daubers | sammiches made | 06:58 |
| popey | AlanBell: change of plan! | 07:24 |
| popey | AlanBell: I wont need picking up | 07:24 |
| BigRedS | aw man. This is going to be dead today :( | 07:36 |
| popey | this irc channel? | 07:37 |
| * popey sends AlanBell a text | 07:38 | |
| BigRedS | popey: yeah | 07:38 |
| BigRedS | since you'll all be off at the museum | 07:38 |
| popey | heh, it will be quiet | 07:38 |
| popey | unless people at the museum somehow ssh in :D | 07:38 |
| BigRedS | that would be amusing. walking round in complete silence, talking to each other over IRC instead | 07:39 |
| popey | heh | 07:39 |
| * popey goes to make breakfast | 07:41 | |
| ali1234 | how do i get android to show my phone number? | 07:55 |
| BigRedS | it's buried in the settings IIRC | 07:58 |
| BigRedS | ali1234: menu, settings, about phone, network | 07:58 |
| BigRedS | on mine | 07:58 |
| BigRedS | er, no, phone identity rather than network | 07:58 |
| ali1234 | settings -> about phone -> status on 2.3 | 07:59 |
| AlanBell | popey: ok, won't pick you up | 07:59 |
| AlanBell | didn't get a text though | 07:59 |
| popey | faster to dial another phone ali1234 :D | 07:59 |
| popey | AlanBell: did you change number when you got a new phone? | 07:59 |
| ali1234 | but i don't have another phone | 07:59 |
| popey | if so I dont have your number | 07:59 |
| popey | ah | 07:59 |
| AlanBell | 07738 789190 | 08:00 |
| ali1234 | well i do but i only have 1 sim card | 08:00 |
| ali1234 | so, if i put my phone number in my google+ profile, and share it with a certain circle, do people in that circle who have android see it on their phone? | 08:02 |
| ali1234 | cos the good thing about android is it gets all my contacts... but the bad thing is nobody shares their phone number on their public profile for obvious reasons | 08:05 |
| ali1234 | so i just get a bunch of contacts with no phone numbers | 08:06 |
| ali1234 | but circles might solve that problem | 08:06 |
| ali1234 | i hope some day we can put circles inside other circles | 08:07 |
| AlanBell | circles in circles feature is landing next week or thereabouts I think | 08:09 |
| ali1234 | awesome | 08:09 |
| ubuntuuk-planet | [Tony] Falling for the Stars - http://tonywhitmore.co.uk/blog/2011/07/24/falling-for-the-stars/ | 08:14 |
| ali1234 | so i don't want to start an argument or anything | 08:31 |
| ali1234 | but isn't the oracle vs google thing exactly what the anti-mono crowd fear will happen with mono, except played out with java? | 08:31 |
| ali1234 | and what's to stop oracle from buying microsoft and then starting suing everyone who uses mono? | 08:31 |
| popey | isnt there a no-sue agreement Microsoft has? | 08:32 |
| popey | I guess in your scenario oracle could revoke that? | 08:32 |
| BigRedS | yeah, that was part of the point ISTR | 08:32 |
| ali1234 | so oracle says "sorry, your agreement is with microsoft, not us" | 08:32 |
| ali1234 | "lawsuit" | 08:32 |
| * popey shrugs | 08:32 | |
| ali1234 | so i heard there was a email client with a plugin that makes it like gmail | 09:00 |
| ali1234 | but i can't remember if it was evolution or thunderbird | 09:01 |
| BigRedS | thunderbird I think | 09:03 |
| ali1234 | time to try it out i guess | 09:05 |
| ali1234 | it can't be worse than evo | 09:05 |
| BigRedS | haha, I don't think there's much that's worse than evo | 09:05 |
| ali1234 | for me the best thing about gmail is not the way it draws the conversation but the way it intelligently threads things | 09:07 |
| ali1234 | evolution doesn't seem to be able to thread email at all | 09:07 |
| ali1234 | tbird actually understands how to set up a gmail account automatically unlike evolution... | 09:15 |
| BigRedS | Yeah, and tbird sort-of works with Gmail's odd idea of folders | 09:18 |
| ali1234 | it doesn't work properly with unity launcher though | 09:22 |
| * BigRedS feigns surprise | 09:22 | |

| brobostigon | morning everyone. | 10:21 |
| marxjohnson | ey up | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | morning marxjohnson | 10:25 |
| BigRedS | g'morning brobostigon & marxjohnson | 10:26 |
| brobostigon | morning BigRedS | 10:28 |
| BigRedS | G'morning! How's things? | 10:30 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: not bad, just trying to fix some (libmozjs, dbus, gnome-settings) segfaults. and you? | 10:34 |
| BigRedS | yeah, pretty good really. Getting lots of long-standing things done which is nice. But stuff keeps moving around my workspaces for some reason :( | 10:35 |
| brobostigon | :( | 10:36 |
| BigRedS | I think it's just fat-finger syndrome | 10:38 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 10:38 |
| * suprengr is jealous... sitting here on standby. not a good swap for a geeknik :( | 11:25 | |
| BigRedS | ha, yeah. I'm sat in a noc waiting for stuff to go wrong | 11:26 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: maybe do some maintenence, to keep you mind from seizing up. | 11:27 |
| BigRedS | yeah, that's what I'm doing. Scripting maintenancey things | 11:28 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:28 |
| BigRedS | All those 'I'll write that at some point' scripts that I've been building up for the past, er, ages | 11:28 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 11:28 |
| BigRedS | though I can't help but think that if things aren't breaking we're probably doing maintenance pretty good already :) | 11:28 |
| brobostigon | yes :) | 11:29 |
| * suprengr sends BigRedS virtual "something gone wrong" to stop boredom | 11:29 | |
| BigRedS | haha | 11:29 |
| BigRedS | I did get to the point earlier where I 'broke' something to check the monitoring was working | 11:30 |
| brobostigon | lol | 11:30 |
| suprengr | +1 | 11:30 |
| suprengr | ha! F1 on TV... that'll do *very* nicely | 11:31 |
| BigRedS | pft. I'm waiting for the motoGP :) | 11:31 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:32 |
| BigRedS | watch the motogp 10-11pm ish, then at midnight I get to ride home. On empty roads :) | 11:32 |
| * suprengr hums "2 wheels on my wagon" | 11:32 | |
| BigRedS | haha | 11:32 |
| suprengr | [remembering good ol' motorbike days - but kneecaps can take only so much injuring] | 11:34 |
| BigRedS | ah yeah. There's far too many people who used to ride bikes but kept breaking themselves... | 11:35 |
| brobostigon | is charliebear.mooo.com working, someone just told me it wasnt. | 11:35 |
| issyl0 | Sorry to be missing the geeknic today, but to be honest I think I'd disappear into Platform 9 3/4 anyway. | 11:35 |
| BigRedS | brobostigon: is for me | 11:35 |
| issyl0 | (Such is my Harry Potter obsession.) | 11:35 |
| BigRedS | issyl0: nah, this is where all the cool kids are anyway :) | 11:36 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: good, thank you, that means there is somethig wrong with the person who tried it. | 11:36 |
| issyl0 | :P | 11:36 |
| BigRedS | brobostigon: yeah, it's generally user error :) | 11:36 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: i gave a full irl aswell, http://charliebear* | 11:36 |
| brobostigon | url* | 11:36 |
| suprengr | PEBWAK [problem exist between *wall* and keyboard] | 11:37 |
| BigRedS | haha | 11:37 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: could the issue have been that they were so slow with it loading, they thought it didnt work? | 11:38 |
| BigRedS | brobostigon: it's possible, it took a few (~4) seconds for me | 11:38 |
| BigRedS | seemed to be a few redirects to follow | 11:38 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: that is still within reasonable limits. | 11:39 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: only one redirect, from that url, to my vps's. | 11:39 |
| BigRedS | ah, fair enough. odd media on other servers perhaps? The stauts bar showed a few different domains | 11:40 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: hmm, interesting. | 11:40 |
| BigRedS | though I can't get it to do it again now | 11:40 |
| BigRedS | maybe I imagined it | 11:40 |
| * BigRedS looks suspiciously at his coffee | 11:40 | |
| brobostigon | ok. | 11:40 |
| brobostigon | weird. | 11:40 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: i saw no errors within apache's logs. so it must be user error. or maybe ipv4/ipv6 clash on users end. | 11:45 |
| * suprengr notes some of those at geeknik are actually here on IRC... whasup folks.. too many laptops & not enough muffins :D | 11:52 | |
| penguin42 | what we need is a muffin transport over irc | 11:53 |
| suprengr | definitely +1 | 11:53 |
| brobostigon | suprengr: some might simply have screen + irssi on servers, and arent actually connected to them. | 11:54 |
| BigRedS | yeah, I never log out of IRC | 11:54 |
| BigRedS | but I do sleep sometimes, and occasionally I go outside, too :) | 11:54 |
| brobostigon | :) | 11:55 |
| suprengr | ...yeh but *some* [cough] were only a few mins ago "away"... that wall at 9 3/4 is more active than suspected | 11:56 |
| BigRedS | ahh | 11:56 |
| BigRedS | well, it's nice of them to try to include us, too :) | 11:56 |
| suprengr | yeh... gotta nice warm cudley feeling now ;) | 11:57 |
| suprengr | ..but no muffins! | 11:57 |
| * BigRedS had muffins | 11:58 | |
| BigRedS | but I ate them. That was what they were for, in my defnece | 11:58 |
| suprengr | BigRedS, thankyou for not saying "has" muffins | 11:58 |
| BigRedS | oh, but they were the breakfasty sort, too, not cakey ones :( | 11:59 |
| penguin42 | talking of breakfast..... | 12:01 |
| gord | its 1pm :P officially brunch | 12:01 |
| * suprengr sets status on Pidgin to "Watching F1"... why is there no option on Xchat to do same? | 12:03 | |
| BigRedS | suprengr: /away [what you want your status to be] | 12:06 |
| BigRedS | so /away watching the f1 | 12:07 |
| BigRedS | would do that in xchat | 12:07 |
| suprengr | i *know* that... but not so much fun as a separate status ;) | 12:07 |
| czajkows1i | hmm | 12:08 |
| BigRedS | ahh | 12:08 |
| === czajkows1i is now known as czajkowski | ||
| suprengr | like "Watching MotoGP" for BigRedS - complete with a different 'grey out' colour [giggles] | 12:10 |
| * BigRedS _really_ wishes 'ls' was analogous to 'show tables' in mysql | 12:11 | |
| oracology | BigRedS: yeah ls really should be...i agree. | 12:25 |
| czajkowski | hmm | 13:26 |
| brobostigon | hello czajkowski | 13:27 |
| czajkowski | rrslly want to unsuscribe from thr ml | 13:27 |
| * BigRedS wonders if czajkowski is drunk | 13:28 | |
| brobostigon | pimms ? | 13:28 |
| BigRedS | don't mind if I do! | 13:28 |
| BigRedS | cheers! | 13:28 |
| brobostigon | BigRedS: i curious as to if czajkowski was drunk as you sugegsted, if she had been drinking that or not? | 13:29 |
| czajkowski | nooo phone | 13:30 |
| brobostigon | :( | 13:30 |
| suprengr | yup - BigRedS was right ;) | 13:50 |
| * suprengr cowers in corner awaiting wrath | 13:50 | |
| brobostigon | http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/112437 any ideas as to this error i am getting from wine. please. | 14:42 |
| gord | brobostigon, i couldn't get KSP to run in wine either =\ | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | gord: same error ? | 14:43 |
| gord | can't remember, but i gave up and ran it in windows | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | ohwell, thanks. | 14:44 |
| * brobostigon doesnt have windows, so gives up. | 14:44 | |
| dwatkins | What is KSP? | 14:45 |
| brobostigon | dwatkins: it is a game, where you build a space program. | 14:45 |
| dwatkins | Oh that, yeah :) | 14:46 |
| brobostigon | http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/about.php | 14:46 |
| dwatkins | I was saddened to learn there is no linux nor Mac version. | 14:46 |
| gord | i nearly managed a stable orbit yesterday. so close | 14:46 |
| dwatkins | I'll have to wait until I can bootcamp. | 14:46 |
| BigRedS | oh I was looking at that the other day. But didn't get as far as attempting an install | 14:54 |
| suprengr | oooh.. reminds me - I have downloaded Proun. Any advice re needs when installing in Wine? | 15:01 |
| gord | check wine hq first | 15:02 |
| suprengr | gord, k | 15:02 |
| suprengr | thanks | 15:02 |
| popey | it works fine in wine | 15:06 |
| popey | I am running it here at 1920x1080 using wine in natty | 15:06 |
| suprengr | thank gawd for that... wine hq has nowt | 15:07 |
| suprengr | cheers popey | 15:07 |
| daubers | lo | 15:46 |
| daubers | le sigh | 15:56 |
| DJones | Afternoon daubers | 15:56 |
| daubers | Someone needs to make something that makes an arm poke out of a machine and slap people | 15:57 |
| daubers | Quiet this afternoon isn't it | 16:04 |
| gord | to.. warm... to type | 16:06 |
| * daubers throws a bucket of water over gord | 16:06 | |
| moreati | popey: Do you still have a wifi problem for OggCamp? Do you need any wifi routers? | 16:07 |
| AlanBell | afternoon all | 16:52 |
| penguin42 | it is | 16:52 |
| AlanBell | so the geeknic and Science Fiction exhibition was great fun today | 17:35 |
| AlanBell | nice family friendly day out | 17:35 |
| popey | sorry I couldn't make it | 17:35 |
| AlanBell | but I was a bit disapointed at the low turnout | 17:35 |
| AlanBell | totally not pointing fingers at people who couldn't make it, not my point | 17:35 |
| AlanBell | what sort of events should we do that people will turn up to? | 17:35 |
| AlanBell | should we make things *less* family friendly? | 17:36 |
| BigRedS | moar pub! | 17:36 |
| AlanBell | I don't quite understand why nobody who works at Millbank thought it would be a nice event to pop along to | 17:36 |
| AlanBell | London is I assume a fairly reasonable place for people to get to, trains go there | 17:37 |
| AlanBell | MartijnVdS got a train from the Netherlands to come to this event | 17:37 |
| BigRedS | wow | 17:38 |
| BigRedS | though most of Belgium is easier to get to from London than much of the north of England | 17:38 |
| BigRedS | by train | 17:38 |
| AlanBell | so we could do more "drink after work in the west end" type things | 17:38 |
| AlanBell | or stuff out in the countryside | 17:39 |
| AlanBell | or a meetup in a starbucks some afternoon during the week | 17:39 |
| BigRedS | Personally, I'd like stuff at the weekend and in London, 'cause I'm normally in london at the weekend. I just couldn't do *this* one. | 17:39 |
| suprengr | ...yeh - try getting to an 'event' when they sack a colleague and expect you to cover for him :( | 17:39 |
| suprengr | sooo much annoyed at firm! | 17:40 |
| AlanBell | indeed, totally not pointing fingers | 17:40 |
| suprengr | [no finger pointing taken] | 17:40 |
| suprengr | :D | 17:40 |
| AlanBell | just want to know if we are doing something awkward for people | 17:40 |
| AlanBell | there were 9 people today | 17:41 |
| BigRedS | Well, it was close to ideal for me | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | including smartphone loving toddlers | 17:41 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: still 9 is more than 1 | 17:41 |
| czajkowski | and we had a nice day out | 17:41 |
| czajkowski | so all in all it was a good fun | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | we did have a nice day out | 17:41 |
| czajkowski | bar we forgot to take pics ;( | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | and we went home via tower bridge and westminster bridge | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | there are some pics | 17:42 |
| no_name_brand | Hey guys, is it okay for me to ask a question here? | 17:42 |
| suprengr | ...see =- told you czajkowski was tipsie! | 17:42 |
| AlanBell | no_name_brand: sure, ask away | 17:42 |
| * suprengr ...cowers | 17:42 | |
| no_name_brand | AlanBell: I was wondering if there's a Python library available that would let me read/write to virtual memory (RAM) on Ubuntu? Kind of like cytpes kernel32 wrappers for Windows. | 17:43 |
| czajkowski | suprengr: no I wasnt! | 17:43 |
| suprengr | czajkowski, ;0 | 17:44 |
| AlanBell | no_name_brand: read and write what sort of stuff? | 17:46 |
| AlanBell | most python stuff is cross platform | 17:46 |
| no_name_brand | AlanBell: I'd like to read/modify data at certain virtual memory addresses. | 17:46 |
| no_name_brand | That's true, but ctypes' kernel32 wrapper is specifically for providing interaction between Windows dlls and Python. | 17:47 |
| AlanBell | that sounds like something a bit dangerous to do! | 17:51 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: When you say 'virtual memory' what do you actually mean? | 17:51 |
| AlanBell | do you want to go poking about into the address space of other processes? | 17:51 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: The address space of your current process or others? | 17:51 |
| no_name_brand | AlanBell, penguin42 : yes, the address space of processes. | 17:52 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: The ptrace system call lets you do that, or you could script gdb! | 17:53 |
| AlanBell | I see crashes ahead. . . but while there's moonlight and music . . . | 17:53 |
| no_name_brand | penguin42: I'm not sure how scripting gdb could help me? Could you point me to something on that? | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: gdb can attach to an arbitrary process and access it's memory - it uses ptrace to do it | 17:55 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: But please go back and explain what you're actually trying to do | 17:56 |
| daubers | AlanBell: We could always arrange some kind of location rotating meetup | 17:58 |
| no_name_brand | penguin42: ahh! So by the way, when I'm googling/discussing this stuff, I shouldn't use terms like "virtual memory" but more like "accessing address space"? What I'm trying to do is this: I have a program which uses my RAM to store certain pieces of data as it's working - I'd like to see what it's storing on RAM, search for specific values of data (and their corresponding addresses), and then choose to modify them if I'd lik | 17:58 |
| no_name_brand | I used to do this a lot for cheating in games on Windows, but right now I'm doing it for work - someone has written a closed source program that I can't easily tie into :p | 17:59 |
| no_name_brand | So I'm sort of familiar with what I'd do on Windows, but not on linux. | 17:59 |
| AlanBell | yeah, virtual memory is more what we would call swap space | 18:00 |
| AlanBell | DMA perhaps | 18:00 |
| czajkowski | no_name_brand: you might find more help tbh in a #python channel if it's python related tbh | 18:00 |
| penguin42 | no_name_brand: So if it's the address space of one process then just use gdb to do that - it's scriptable in python | 18:00 |
| czajkowski | nt trying to put you off being here | 18:00 |
| AlanBell | direct memory access, memory mapped files, address space, peek and poke would all be terms to try | 18:00 |
| czajkowski | but there would be a lot more python ddevelopers there to help you | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | daubers: aye some of the lug folks meet up on a Thursday evening for drinks | 18:01 |
| no_name_brand | penguin42: Great! I'll look into that then! | 18:01 |
| no_name_brand | czajkowski: Well, yeah, penguin42 pretty much answered my question though, so no worries. | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | daubers: we all know to poke each other on the thursday morning to pick the pub later that event | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | no_name_brand: no worries | 18:01 |
| moreati | no_name_brand: you can find a lot of info about a process in /prc/<pid>, including aa complete in memory image. No ide if you can write to it though | 18:02 |
| AlanBell | so a weekday evening pub night might work | 18:02 |
| daubers | I could probably do one of those a month, location depending :) | 18:03 |
| czajkowski | aye sure we can give it a go | 18:03 |
| czajkowski | cant hurt to try | 18:03 |
| AlanBell | yup | 18:03 |
| AlanBell | so lets try that for a few months | 18:04 |
| czajkowski | ideally a place that has reasonable priced food close to decent transportation and oddly enough free wifi works well | 18:04 |
| AlanBell | in London, or maybe rotating round the M25? or further out? | 18:05 |
| daubers | AlanBell: I'd do one in London and one outside somewhere | 18:05 |
| daubers | Then rotate thatway and maybe rotate the somewhere | 18:06 |
| czajkowski | well August is going to be busy | 18:06 |
| AlanBell | do we care about trains or is parking a bigger deal? | 18:06 |
| czajkowski | maybe late august | 18:06 |
| czajkowski | the idea being to keep the events regular so people can make one and skip the next or vice versa | 18:06 |
| daubers | Maybe do something like Basingstoke/London/Reading/London/Oxford/London or somesuch | 18:07 |
| AlanBell | that sounds good | 18:07 |
| AlanBell | Woking would work too | 18:07 |
| daubers | Get less "Things never happen near me" complaints that way :) | 18:07 |
| AlanBell | as a train hub | 18:07 |
| daubers | yup | 18:08 |
| BigRedS | don't train places normally also have parking? | 18:08 |
| AlanBell | what other train hubs are there? | 18:08 |
| * BigRedS rides a motorbike, I've never been that interested in either... | 18:08 | |
| czajkowski | guilford | 18:08 |
| AlanBell | BigRedS: town centre pubs sometimes don't have car parks | 18:09 |
| AlanBell | or anywhere I would want to park my car | 18:09 |
| daubers | Bristol? | 18:09 |
| BigRedS | yeah, I figured the stations were likely to | 18:09 |
| daubers | Swindon | 18:09 |
| AlanBell | BigRedS: ah, see what you mean | 18:09 |
| Azelphur | Anyone happen to know if there's a python library for easy access to all the microblogging services? eg twitter, identi.ca, so on so fourth. | 18:09 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: is there a libgwibber or scriptable bit of it perhaps? | 18:10 |
| AlanBell | !info libgwibber | 18:10 |
| lubotu3 | Package libgwibber does not exist in natty | 18:10 |
| AlanBell | https://launchpad.net/gwibber/libgwibber | 18:11 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: not sure what language gwibber is written in tbh :P | 18:11 |
| BigRedS | python | 18:11 |
| Azelphur | oh fun | 18:11 |
| BigRedS | everything's written in python these days; it's the new C | 18:11 |
| BigRedS | except the cool things. Those are written in Perl | 18:11 |
| AlanBell | it is the new BASIC actually | 18:11 |
| BigRedS | haha, yeah | 18:12 |
| * Azelphur looks around to try and figure out how it works | 18:12 | |
| AlanBell | but you don't have to be embarrassed about it | 18:12 |
| BigRedS | it's Linux' VB but actually a good programming language | 18:12 |
| Azelphur | Indeed, Python is awesome now :) | 18:13 |
| Azelphur | there isn't a lot you can't do with it | 18:13 |
| suprengr | I have had some [small] experience in Perl scripting... is Pyhton actually close enough to be recognisable? | 18:21 |
| Azelphur | lol if there is a library for python, it's not documented anywhere | 18:21 |
| suprengr | *Python | 18:21 |
| BigRedS | suprengr: lots of perly people find Python abhorrent for a while and then learn to love it | 18:24 |
| BigRedS | I remain unconvinced, but I *like* line-noise and braces :) | 18:24 |
| suprengr | that's what I call an honest answer - thanks | 18:25 |
| * Azelphur hugs python | 18:26 | |
| * suprengr hugs Azelphur ... & [I bet] worries Azelphur | 18:26 | |
| * BigRedS tries to hug CPAN but it's just too big | 18:27 | |
| Azelphur | xD | 18:27 |
| suprengr | ;D | 18:27 |
| Azelphur | that said I do wish I could figure out what on earth is going on with gwibber. :( | 18:27 |
| suprengr | ...& no I'm not! | 18:27 |
| Azelphur | I want to write shiny things :( | 18:27 |
| BigRedS | I've spent most of today knee-deep in a module. It's not very good for a getting-to-the-end-and-seeing-what-you-achieved sort of buzz :( | 18:29 |
| suprengr | Azelphur, you mean http://tinyurl.com/3sdxldb ? | 18:33 |
| Azelphur | suprengr: I mean with regards to libgwibber :P | 18:34 |
| suprengr | oh | 18:34 |
| MartijnVdS | o/ everone :-) | 18:37 |
| * suprengr reckons Azelphur is now checking out Gwibber 3.1 ;) | 18:38 | |
| * Azelphur is talking to the folks in #gwibber and found out it has a dbus interface which does what I want | 18:38 | |
| Azelphur | :P | 18:38 |
| suprengr | o/ MartijnVdS | 18:38 |
| AlanBell | o/ MartijnVdS great to see you today | 18:39 |
| MartijnVdS | alanbell: did the kids ever end up trying the spread? :-) | 18:42 |
| AlanBell | they did, and they like it | 18:42 |
| AlanBell | little boy will try it tomorrow | 18:43 |
| daubers | o/ | 18:43 |
| daubers | MartijnVdS: Was excellent to put a face to a name | 18:43 |
| daubers | AlanBell, MartijnVd, czajkowski http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattdaubney/5971292906/in/photostream :) | 18:52 |
| czajkowski | daubers: :) | 18:54 |
| daubers | Not taken the ones off my phone yet | 18:57 |
| suprengr | So there I am - logged into Launchpad... can I find a way to create Wiki page - nah! | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | suprengr: are you on wiki.ubuntu.com by any chance | 19:00 |
| suprengr | czajkowski, in launchpad homepage for self (https://launchpad.net/~suprengr). looked in wiki.ubuntu.com tna | 19:03 |
| AlanBell | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/suprengr | 19:03 |
| AlanBell | see the "create new empty page" link | 19:03 |
| czajkowski | suprengr: yes but you dont create a wiki page on lp...... | 19:04 |
| suprengr | AlanBell, cheers | 19:04 |
| czajkowski | suprengr: yes but you dont create a wiki page on lp...... | 19:04 |
| suprengr | [I was confused simply because there used to be in launchpad... now gone] | 19:05 |
| suprengr | *a link in... | 19:05 |
| czajkowski | why are you speaking in [ ] brackets | 19:05 |
| AlanBell | {braces are more fun} | 19:05 |
| suprengr | [because sometimes that's how how I like to] :D | 19:06 |
| suprengr | {} | 19:06 |
| czajkowski | suprengr: were you on irc about a year ago with a different nick with john in it | 19:06 |
| suprengr | czajkowski, most definitely not guiltyt... no | 19:07 |
| czajkowski | ok | 19:07 |
| suprengr | unless, of course, this 'john' has a £1.000.000 waiting to be collected! | 19:09 |
| suprengr | just went to "create new empty page" on Ubuntu Wiki & got: "You are not allowed to edit this page. " Now that's what I call an insult! | 19:16 |
| AlanBell | are you logged into the wiki? | 19:17 |
| suprengr | AlanBell, i *was* but it seems to be acting as if I'm not... time to close browser & start again methinks... | 19:19 |
| suprengr | yea gads that was a fight! got there at last - it put put up a fight but suprengr won in the end - on wiki page ready to edit ... hardly seems worth the effort after that! | 19:32 |

| justinBUJITSUBRO | did any one see waht i was talking a bout w. my problem somone said is was a ntwork prblem | 19:48 |

| errordeveloper | justinBUJITSUBRO: oh god, sure we did | 19:48 |
| justinBUJITSUBRO | lol | 19:48 |

| exobuzz | going to install ubuntu on my mothers pc. had enough of removing all the malware. | 21:44 |
| exobuzz | also giving her unity as a punishment (j/k) | 21:45 |
| BigRedS | haha | 21:49 |
| WorMzy | That poor woman | 21:50 |
| WorMzy | :P | 21:50 |
| exobuzz | ;-) | 22:13 |
| suprengr | time for bed said Zebedee... cheers & goodnight to all | 22:13 |
| exobuzz | the only get out clause she has depends on her printer model. if it isnt well supported, i might reconsider | 22:13 |
| === michael is now known as Guest40878 | ||
| AlanBell | printers tend to be quite well supported | 22:14 |
| AlanBell | bits of some multi-functional devices are the weak point | 22:15 |
| exobuzz | yeh | 22:16 |
| exobuzz | although she has a canon pixma and they can be annoying from past experience | 22:16 |
| exobuzz | seems there is a driver. well im not going to try and clean her vista install again anyway, so if it doesnt work, ill install windows later on if needed | 22:18 |
| Guest40878 | jo | 22:54 |
| Guest40878 | hi | 22:54 |
| Guest40878 | any having trouble with a magic trackpad | 22:55 |
