| snail | sunshine in kelburn, but big black clouds to the south | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| chilts | it's a pretty random day, cold, snow, sun, snow, sun etc :) | 00:13 |
| snail | i'm seeing network issues accessing the rest of the internet. i'm thinking that people are clearing the snow of their rooves | 01:02 |
| snail | and it's snowing again | 01:06 |
| ibeardslee | there are signs of much network boo-boo about atm | 01:07 |
| ajmitch | ibeardslee: so it's not just dunedin? :) | 01:12 |
| * ajmitch lost connectivity at home from about 12:30, modem is stuck on trying to reauthenticate | 01:13 | |
| ajmitch | local shop didn't have eftpos working | 01:13 |
| chrismsnz | anybody have a hosting company they recommend for hosting a small asp.net site? | 01:17 |
| ibeardslee | I recommend Rimuhosting .. I would assume the can do asp.net stuff | 01:44 |
| chrismsnz | I've been here before - i was looking at their vps offering | 01:45 |
| chrismsnz | a little while ago | 01:46 |
| chrismsnz | can't see anything to do with asp but i'll send them an email | 01:46 |
| ojwb | my ADSL was out for a while | 01:46 |
| ojwb | (hutt valley) | 01:47 |
| ajmitch | seems that it was a telecom fault | 01:51 |
| chrismsnz | snowing in the auckland cbd lol | 02:27 |

| hads | Anyone need a USB DVB-T tuner that half works? https://nicegear.co.nz/dvb-cards/technotrend-t1900-usb/ | 02:49 |
| ibeardslee | nope | 02:51 |
| ibeardslee | would be interested if I knew it worked with linux, and knew that my netbook cpu & ram could handle it | 02:52 |
| ibeardslee | I've tried a couple of them .. not sure if it is .. | 02:56 |
| ibeardslee | 1/ don't deal with linux very well | 02:56 |
| ibeardslee | 2/ don't deal with my CPU, RAM video very well | 02:56 |
| ibeardslee | 3/ Shite reception | 02:57 |
| ajmitch | hads: how does it half work? | 03:17 |
| ojwb | sounds like SD but not HD | 03:18 |
| ojwb | which might be OK for a second tuner, but would irritate if it's the only one your have | 03:19 |
| ajmitch | depends on how much you care about tv | 03:22 |
| ojwb | well, if you care enough to buy a tuner... | 03:26 |
| hads | ibeardslee: Everything we sell is tested with Linux | 03:53 |
| hads | ajmitch: Yeah, what ojwb said. It won't record HD so you can't record TV1, 2 & 3. Good for someone who wants to test, rip EPG etc. | 03:54 |
| hads | Not good for real use. | 03:54 |
| ojwb | 3+1 appears to be all SD though, at least currently | 03:59 |
| hads | Yeah, even though the individual programs are marked SD/HD, they broadcast the entire channel in either HD or SD and upscale/downscale to suit. | 04:13 |
| ajmitch | so it wouldn't be useful for the usual channels? | 04:17 |
| ojwb | ajmitch: you couldn't get TV1 or TV2 at all with it | 04:26 |
| ajmitch | not so tempting a buy then :) | 04:28 |
| ojwb | i'd guess all the mainstream channels will be HD eventually (perhaps once analog gets switched off, if that spectrum hasn't just been flogged to mobile phone companies) | 04:28 |
| * ajmitch wonders if tv will be broadcast over the fibre network to homes in coming years | 04:30 | |
| ojwb | probably | 04:34 |
| ajmitch | some ISPs already do some bundles with iSky | 04:35 |
| hads | ajmitch: Not super useful no, but cheap :) | 04:35 |
| Hoggs | All the major TV studios all transmit their live feeds to each other over fibre | 04:38 |
| Hoggs | the super clean HD feeds | 04:38 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 19:44 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:12 |
| chilts | morning | 21:12 |
| chrismsnz | morning | 21:26 |
| chilts | I have my coat on in work again | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | :) | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | it's actually fairly warm here | 21:29 |
| chilts | how's bizdojo, warm enough? | 21:29 |
| chilts | right | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | chilts: yes | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | chilts: had they had the heatpumps put in when you came around? | 21:29 |
| chilts | that lady never did send me back info about a day a week thing | 21:29 |
| chilts | dunno | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | oh | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | i'll poke her then | 21:29 |
| chilts | I'll ping her sometime | 21:29 |
| chilts | nah, no worries | 21:29 |
| mwhudson | okidoke | 21:30 |
| chilts | I'll send her an email .. prolly won't want something for a month or so anyway and then it might change again :) | 21:30 |
| mwhudson | heh yes, don' | 21:30 |
| mwhudson | heh yes, don't want to over-plan i guess | 21:30 |
| chilts | yeah, was certainly curious at the time though :) | 21:30 |
| chilts | in other news, has anyone used Go(Lang) much? | 21:31 |
| chilts | I've been hacking some stuff together over the past wee while and am really enjoying it :) | 21:31 |
| mwhudson | there are a couple of people at canonical who are pretty keen on it | 21:31 |
| chrismsnz | I had a little romp with it | 21:31 |
| chilts | yeah, been chatting to Gustavo - to add some more AWS services to his goamz library | 21:31 |
| mwhudson | it does seem pretty interesting from afar | 21:31 |
| chilts | I gave him a small patch yesterday | 21:31 |
| mwhudson | chilts: ah, yes, i mostly meant him :-) | 21:31 |
| chilts | heh | 21:32 |
| chrismsnz | I'm mostly a pythonista (although PHP by trade), but I like go :) | 21:32 |
| chilts | it's certainly interesting - between that and NodeJS I'm having a right ball playing with concurrency/event driven stuff | 21:32 |
| chilts | anyone interested in a Go User Group in Wgtn? | 21:32 |
| * chilts is thinking of starting one | 21:32 | |
| mwhudson | interested in principle, i guess :) | 21:33 |
| chilts | ok, 1 maybe then ... I'll be asking other people too and will probably post to the various other user groups when I know I have something :) | 21:34 |
| chilts | am just thinking about general numbers, not specifics, so I won't hold you to it | 21:34 |
| ojwb | morning | 22:15 |
| Atamira | morning | 22:16 |
| chilts | hey guys, any other language specific user groups in Wellington I should tap-up for interest in a Go User Group - I have Wgtn.pm and NZPUG for now | 23:01 |
| chilts | I think there is a PHP one somewhere | 23:01 |
| chilts | maybe WellyLUG too | 23:02 |
| timClicks | can some .deb util do this? https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki/ConvertingPython | 23:03 |
| ajmitch | python-stdeb | 23:07 |
| ajmitch | timClicks: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb has some good info about using it | 23:08 |
| timClicks | ajmitch: jolly good, ta | 23:08 |
| ojwb | chilts: there's the functional programming group too | 23:15 |
| chilts | ah yeah, I was trying to remember that but forgot it's name - for some reason I was thinking they called themselves the 'strange languages' group or something :) | 23:16 |
| chilts | thanks | 23:16 |
| ojwb | it used to be something like "erlounge" | 23:16 |
| ojwb | but an erlang group was too narrow I guess | 23:16 |
| chilts | right, yeah | 23:18 |
| * ojwb is interested in go, but then I'm interested in most things | 23:18 | |
| chilts | yeah, same | 23:19 |
| chilts | though I think this one will stick (along with NodeJS) :) | 23:19 |
| ojwb | I think the approach to concurrency is very interesting | 23:19 |
| chilts | ojwb: for Go or Node? | 23:22 |
| ojwb | Go | 23:22 |
| chilts | I certainly like how the chans work, with all the message passing | 23:23 |
| ojwb | yes, it seems to neatly address some of the problematic issues with threads | 23:28 |
| chilts | yeah | 23:30 |
| chilts | I've read a few other libraries too (like the memcache one) and it's so small that you can learn a little something each time :) | 23:31 |
| chilts | I find it very enjoyable | 23:31 |
| chilts | and it kinda suits my way of thinking - but then so does node and they're very different, but both really cool | 23:31 |
| chilts | I refactored my queue thing in Node last week ... with more features to come: https://github.com/appsattic/sensi | 23:32 |
| chilts | (just a learning thing) | 23:32 |
