| StevenR | MooDoo: I have a liteon one that was about 20 quid. | 09:42 |
| MooDoo | StevenR: where did you get that one from? | 09:42 |
| StevenR | (usb, dvd re-writer actually) | 09:42 |
| StevenR | ebuyer iirc | 09:42 |

| MooDoo | ok thanks :D | 09:44 |
| StevenR | :) | 09:44 |
| mfraz74 | not very happy with ebuyer/city-link at the moment | 09:45 |
| GirlyGirl | hi | 09:45 |
| MooDoo | GirlyGirl: hi | 09:46 |
| MooDoo | mfraz74: how come? | 09:46 |
| mfraz74 | hi GirlyGirl | 09:46 |
| mfraz74 | MooDoo: ordered a hard drive yesterday for delivery today, checked earlier and something has rescheduled it for monday instead | 09:46 |
| MooDoo | mfraz74: have you contacted them? | 09:46 |
| mfraz74 | tried to contact city-link, but was on hold for ages. ebuyer aren't open today | 09:47 |
| MooDoo | mfraz74: how far is the city-link depot from you, couldn't you go pick it up? | 09:47 |
| mfraz74 | about an hour away and no car today | 09:48 |
| MooDoo | booooo | 09:48 |
| MartijnVdS | Taxi! :) | 09:48 |
| directhex | it may not be at the depot | 09:48 |
| mfraz74 | it is at the depot | 09:48 |
| directhex | what time did it arrive at the depot? | 09:49 |
| mfraz74 | arrived thereat 6.20 got rescheduled 2 hours later | 09:49 |
| mfraz74 | it says "Thank you for your rescheduling request." | 09:50 |
| directhex | yeah, goods are loaded onto delivery vans at around 5:30-6:00 | 09:50 |
| directhex | so the lorry didn't arrive until it was too late | 09:50 |
| directhex | yes, you've paid for saturday delivery and not got it. i've had this kind of thing from citylink | 09:50 |
| mfraz74 | the website makes look like i've rescheduled the delivery | 09:51 |
| directhex | mfraz74, the depot staff helpfully rescheduled delivery on your behalf. | 09:55 |
| * GirlyGirl is deciding whether to spend money repairing her car bodywork or buying herself a nice new laptop | 09:55 | |
| mfraz74 | new laptop of course! | 09:56 |
| MartijnVdS | I'd go for the car | 09:57 |
| GirlyGirl | I think I'll take the laptop, since the car moves like it should (except for a bit of constant steering) | 09:58 |
| MooDoo | GirlyGirl: what's going to be the cheaper option? and is your life at stake in the car ;) | 09:59 |
| GirlyGirl | or maybe balancing for the car and a laptop | 09:59 |
| directhex | laptops are SOO last millennium. tablets are where it's at! | 10:01 |
| GirlyGirl | MooDoo: both cost around the same.. no the car is safe, just dented, I smashed it pretty bad | 10:01 |
| GirlyGirl | directhex: nah not so interested in a tablet | 10:02 |
| mfraz74 | GirlyGirl: you're not also known as Rowan Atkinson are you? | 10:02 |
| GirlyGirl | mfraz74: Why would that be lol | 10:02 |
| mfraz74 | GirlyGirl: have you seen what he's done to his car? | 10:02 |
| brobostigon | mfraz74: yes, he rightedoff his mclaren f1. | 10:03 |
| GirlyGirl | nah mine's not so bad! and no f1 for me | 10:04 |
| * penguin42 yawns | 11:31 | |
| * GirlyGirl thinks penguins are lazy | 11:39 | |
| directhex | and stuffed with herring. | 11:41 |
| penguin42 | GirlyGirl: I'm not going to argue with that | 11:41 |
| penguin42 | given it's nearly 1pm, I've been up less than an hour and am still in dressing gown :-) | 11:43 |
| GirlyGirl | penguin42: You must be used to it, the south pole is always dark at this time of the year | 11:45 |
| penguin42 | GirlyGirl: Nod | 11:45 |
| penguin42 | GirlyGirl: Although Manchester isn't quite that bad | 11:45 |
| * popey is also still in dressing gown :D | 11:50 | |
| directhex | i'm going to have a shower, i think | 11:50 |

| Azelphur | for all the electronicy type people out there, would it be possible to make a magnetic USB charging cable? | 13:08 |
| Azelphur | you know like the cables you get on laptops which are held in magnetically so if someone trips over the cable it just falls out | 13:08 |
| aquarius | not really. usb requires more of a contact than that | 13:08 |
| Azelphur | thought it might do, but I wondered if the requirements would be lower for just power with no data | 13:09 |
| directhex | usb doesn't work that way. | 13:11 |
| aquarius | then it's not usb :) | 13:11 |
| aquarius | the whole point is that usb is universal; you can plug any usb device into it. If this magic socket requires shorter plugs or something then it ain't usb ;) | 13:12 |
| Azelphur | spose :p | 13:12 |
| aquarius | what you could do is make a very short usb-to-azelphursb connector, and then put an azelphursb socket on your laptop | 13:12 |
| directhex | look inside a usb plug. power happens on the 2 long lines - ground on the left, +5v on the right | 13:13 |
| aquarius | also, liisten to directhex, since he has the skillz | 13:14 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | sounds like it would be easier to bypass the usb charging and just go straight to the battery | 13:18 |

| jacobw | i'll definately be following the research next time i mow a lawn | 13:27 |
| MartijnVdS | yes.. move in a circle from the inside out.. | 13:37 |

| GirlyGirl | How much is a london olympic ticket going to be | 19:35 |
| AlanBell | all gone | 19:35 |
| GirlyGirl | AlanBell: Really, what was the pricing | 19:36 |
| GirlyGirl | aproximate | 19:36 |
| AlanBell | huge range, from £20 to £x000 | 19:36 |
| AlanBell | where are you coming from? | 19:37 |
| GirlyGirl | I'm not interested in the Olympic ticket, was just curious | 19:37 |
| AlanBell | because the UK allocation was done in a lottery, other country allocations might have some left | 19:38 |
| popey | iirc GirlyGirl is in Scotland | 19:40 |
| popey | So probably more expensive to get to (that) London from there than from say Paris | 19:40 |
| czajkowski | look at the logo here http://www.aftemplates.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Free-Expense-Report-Template.png | 19:41 |
| popey | haha | 19:41 |
| popey | excellent | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | http://www.aftemplates.com/free-expense-report-template.html | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | cmes from there | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | not sure who to report it to | 19:44 |
| popey | why report it? | 19:44 |
| czajkowski | ubuntu logo | 19:44 |
| popey | yes | 19:45 |
| popey | why report it? | 19:45 |
| AlanBell | looks like a perfectly good use of it | 19:45 |
| czajkowski | fair enough | 19:45 |
| popey | I'd rather they used the up to date one :D | 19:45 |
| popey | maybe we should ask them to do that | 19:45 |
| czajkowski | :) | 19:45 |
| * czajkowski is tryng to find a template for expenses online | 19:46 | |
| popey | I just use a spreadsheet | 19:46 |
| AlanBell | with your nice new spreadsheet application | 19:46 |
| MartijnVdS | Microsoft Excel? :) | 19:46 |
| popey | heh | 19:46 |
| popey | I nearly typed "I just use an excel spreadsheet" :D | 19:47 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: Office for Windows or for Mac? | 19:47 |
| popey | windows | 19:47 |
| MartijnVdS | so you need another copy for each of your macs ;) | 19:48 |
| popey | ooo pizza here | 19:48 |
| popey | good timing dominos man! | 19:48 |
| * mgdm shakes his fist at popey | 19:54 | |
| mgdm | Now I want Dominos | 19:54 |
| * GirlyGirl asks opey for her share | 19:55 | |
| * StevenR has chicken, peppers and pasta :D | 19:58 | |
| daubers | Evening | 20:28 |
| GirlyGirl | hi | 20:29 |
| iceflatline | hullo | 20:29 |
| StevenR | lo | 20:29 |
| * daubers has mended the clothes drawers, thus completing his manly duties for the day | 20:32 | |
| daubers | *sigh* Why do people assume _everyone_ uses MS Outlook | 20:36 |
| daubers | "Please use the “vote” facility above to let us know by answering yes or no." arrived in my gmail | 20:37 |
| mgdm | The real comedy ones are when they attempt to recall messages they shouldn't have sent | 20:38 |
| daubers | Also, Apple inverting the scroll motion in Lion is blasted annoying | 20:40 |
| mgdm | Heh | 20:40 |
| daubers | Also! Might finally get to meet the people at Reading Hackspace tomorrow \o/ | 20:41 |
| mgdm | Cool | 20:44 |
| * StevenR has painted part of a ceiling | 20:51 | |
| daubers | StevenR: \o/ | 20:51 |
| StevenR | daubers: without a) getting paint in my hair b) destroying the ceiling c) falling off the ladder and d) smashing anything | 20:52 |
| daubers | StevenR: \o/ \o/ | 20:52 |
| StevenR | a few more coats and it should blend in nicely | 20:53 |
| MartijnVdS | StevenR: but now the furniture is all covered in paint? | 20:53 |
| daubers | StevenR: I watched my dd and his friend plaster a roof once by using stilts, that was immensely impressive unti they tripped up :) | 20:53 |
| StevenR | MartijnVdS: nope (bathroom, so easy to wipe down the few splatters) | 20:53 |
| StevenR | daubers: eep. | 20:53 |
| daubers | stupid osx | 21:25 |
| Bomster | lol | 21:28 |
| HazRPG | hey guys, having a weird trouble installing 11.04 on a core 2 duo... "boot error" from the BIOS | 22:18 |
| HazRPG | using a USB flash drive | 22:18 |
| HazRPG | (no CD drive) | 22:18 |
| HazRPG | I know the USB flash drive works, because my laptop boots into it... I'm just baffled as to what's up | 22:18 |
| HazRPG | is there a BIOS thing I should be changing that could be locking it out? | 22:19 |
| HazRPG | according to this, it should be okay (however that does mention 8.04 though, not 11.04): http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg35ec/sb/CS-029515.htm | 22:22 |
| AlanBell | HazRPG: are you camping for oggcamp? | 22:26 |
| HazRPG | AlanBell: Hopefully yeah :) | 22:26 |
| HazRPG | AlanBell: If its still okay with you? | 22:27 |
| AlanBell | yup | 22:27 |
| AlanBell | can you send a mail to alanbell@ubuntu.com | 22:27 |
| HazRPG | what shall I put in said mail? | 22:28 |
| AlanBell | actually, never mind, you are on the list already | 22:28 |
| HazRPG | oh the oggcamp list? | 22:29 |
| HazRPG | yeah I have a ticket already :) | 22:29 |
| HazRPG | hmm? | 22:29 |
| AlanBell | the "people in my garden" list | 22:29 |
| HazRPG | oh ^_^ | 22:29 |
| HazRPG | AlanBell: you got many staying at yours? | 22:30 |
| HazRPG | I know me and brobostigon are :) | 22:30 |
| HazRPG | (if I haven't already, again much thanks for offering to put me up in your garden :)) | 22:31 |
| AlanBell | gosh, looks like 7 :-/ | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | think I am full | 22:32 |
| dutchie | AlanBell: you did take me off the list? | 22:32 |
| HazRPG | Wow! Got enough space for all that? | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | dutchie: yes | 22:32 |
| dutchie | cool :) | 22:32 |
| dutchie | well :( really | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | HazRPG: maybe | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | 6 for saturday/sunday | 22:33 |
| StevenR | AlanBell: all sorted on the networking front? (I heard mention about worries about wireless for the conf?) | 22:33 |
| AlanBell | StevenR: that is popey's thing really | 22:33 |
| AlanBell | apart from the AV Lan | 22:33 |
| StevenR | I see | 22:34 |
| HazRPG | Ooo, there's LAN? | 22:34 |
| AlanBell | one way or another there will be some wireless | 22:34 |
| HazRPG | Should I be bring my laptop with me? | 22:34 |
| AlanBell | HazRPG: just a gigabit switch possibly not connected to anything | 22:34 |
| StevenR | AlanBell: hehe. Wireless design is fun :) | 22:34 |
| HazRPG | heh, even if we just bridge a few android phones together, and use them as AP's ... there will be wireless! | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | yup | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | reasonable mobile broadband there, we tested in the rooms | 22:35 |
| HazRPG | \o/ | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | and kick ass wireless N broadband in my garden | 22:35 |
| HazRPG | my laptop is so going to be made fun of so much this weekend :( | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | 34MB down \o/ | 22:36 |
| StevenR | AlanBell: FTTC or VM ? | 22:36 |
| AlanBell | FTTC | 22:36 |
| HazRPG | wow score! \o/ | 22:36 |
| * StevenR has that too | 22:36 | |
| AlanBell | and if it is totally dry, power to the tents :) | 22:36 |
| HazRPG | better down then me! | 22:36 |
| HazRPG | (I has 8Mb down) | 22:37 |
| AlanBell | otherwise charging stuff indoors | 22:37 |
| HazRPG | cool :) | 22:37 |
| penguin42 | AlanBell: How many people are you getting in your garden? | 22:37 |
| AlanBell | going to need to dismantle a 14foot diameter trampoline on the friday and reassemble Sunday morning | 22:37 |
| AlanBell | penguin42: 7! | 22:37 |
| * penguin42 imagines something like out of a refugee camp | 22:38 | |
| AlanBell | little bit concerned about space | 22:38 |
| HazRPG | Don't worry, I'm only little... so I won't be taking up much space :) | 22:38 |
| penguin42 | AlanBell: If you give them strong enough coffee they won't need to sleep | 22:38 |
| HazRPG | if needs be, I'll be outside with an umbrella tied around my sleeping bag :P | 22:39 |
| HazRPG | could bring my 4 man tent, which can easily house about 6 skinny people | 22:39 |
