HazRPGI've never managed to do the cross-eyed stereoscopic image thing before... but I managed to do it on that video - and its quite freaky00:11
HazRPGits hard to keep the focus of the centre image though00:11

AlanBellI alternate between coffee and coffee08:06
TheOpenSourcererI alternate between coffee and beer :-)08:06
MooDooask a simple question ;)08:07
AlanBellanyone live over on the right hand side of the country?08:08
bigcalmMooDoo: read as 'rats are cheap'08:09

AlanBellDaviey: is in the bottom left, must be a pub near him somewhere08:14
TheOpenSourcererThere are a few on the mailing list in the west country.08:15

bigcalmLinky?08:15

bigcalmThank you :)08:17
TheOpenSourcererThis just seems so wrong... https://github.com/mixu/nwm08:23
bigcalmJavaScript is the new black08:24
AlanBellnigelb is a big node.js fan08:25
nigelbYeah, but I haven't written much in it yet.08:25
AlanBellhow did my headset get this tangled??08:25
nigelbI just like writing code in javascript. I do suck at it though.08:25
oimontrain driver announced that train wouldn't be stopping at next 3 stops.. 25% of passengers get off and seek alternative transport. oimon loiters suspiciously. train waits for 2 minutes and then announces that it will be stopping  there \o/08:25
BigRedSwaiting is, generally, the right thing to do08:26
oimonalthough sometimes waiting 15 mins and then deciding to follow the crowd leads to much lateness08:27
oimonbut i agree. waiting is usually as quick as buses08:27
DavieyAlanBell: I am always in the bottom left.08:28
gordi have the magic ability to be always standing at juuust the right spot to have the train doors stop right infront of me, i think i'm a wizard08:28
DavieyBUT bottem left of what?08:28
oimongord: me too. i usually add to that trick by holding out my finger and the door button arrives in front of it :D08:29
Hippychickgord, do you also walk through brick walls to get to special platforms?08:29
czajkowskigord is special, that is all.08:30
oimonwoke up at 4.30 today :(08:34
AlanBellDaviey: propose a pub name and postcode http://ubuntu-uk.org/happy-hour/08:36

BigRedSideally08:36
DavieyOne i dodn't mind associating with beardy people in?08:37
nigelbheh08:37
MezDaviey: pubs you haven't been banned from? That's a short list I'm sure.08:38
JamesTaitGood morning, world. :-)08:38
Mez(and, morning, btw)08:38
Davieyhey Mez08:40
AlanBellDaviey: are you now not a beardy person?08:40
DavieyAlanBell: fellow beards :)08:40
MezOh... god... it's going to be one of those days.  I've had to use memegenerator in response to emails twice already today.09:02
MartijnVdSheh09:05
MartijnVdSMez: Y U NO READ?09:05
gordare the emails regarding your excessive use of meme's as a communication tool?09:07
ali1234haters gonna hate09:08
diplo-AlanBell / TheOpenSourcerer, I'm a west country person.. still not decided where to have a happy hour09:09
Davieydiplo-: Where abouts?09:10
diplo-Sorry, Near Bath09:16
diplo-Placed called Trowbridge09:16
bigcalmdiplo: was salt mined there or possibly a port for it?09:17
bigcalmA Severn (the river) Trow was a salt barge09:17
diplo-Not afaik, mainly weaving and stuff here in the past09:19
diplo-Bridge by the tree according to google :)09:20

DJonesWierd09:53
bigcalmMy lack of flash prevents me from seeing this awesome weirdness09:55
oimonyou're missing out09:58
bigcalmApparently09:58
oimonwhere's your flash anyway? is this a wilful flash-fast?10:06
bigcalmIndeed. It needlessly bogs down my system10:07
bigcalmI have to keep it on my dev server for testing some client work, but I really don't miss it10:07
bigcalmAny youtube video I can't watch in HTML5 quite often works on my phone. And if it doesn't, I'm not really missing out that much10:09
brobostigongood morning everyone.10:13
Myrttiso... since there doesn't seem to be linux-386 kernel in the newer versions of Ubuntu, is there a comparable one in Debian? Was just looking at the options I have for the Viglen...10:14
Myrttibrobostigon: ohai10:14
brobostigonmorning Myrtti10:15
* AlanBell wonders if there is a nice pub in peterborough10:21

MooDooyay for VMWARE :)10:57
MooDoolol10:57
* AlanBell grumbles about people not knowing what "correct postage" means11:13
DJonesAlanBell: Doesn't it mean that the person receiving the letter/package will pay the extra to correct the postage charge11:14
DJones:)11:14
AlanBellyes11:14
oimonreminds me i should send a few of those to virgin media11:14
AlanBellwhich is me, sending someone a free CD11:14
AlanBellso it is going to be sent back with incorrect postage too11:15
oimonhow much does it cost to send a cd?11:15
AlanBell2nd larg11:16
Hippychickour old post office delivered it anyway11:16
AlanBell1st is 12p short11:16
AlanBellso I have had to pay £1.12 to receive a CD case11:16
oimonwow, i thought a regular stamp would cover it11:17
DJonesWe had a letter from our accountants enclosing a bill which had the wrong postage on so we ended up paying the extra11:17
ali1234this is why you should have just asked people to send you a pound sellotaped between two pieces of card11:17
oimonali1234: or a paypal link.11:17
ali1234or bitcoins11:17
oimonbitcoins = virtual currency.  result = virtual cd (i.e. a url)11:18
AlanBellali1234: yeah, I kind of liked the "no money changes hands" aspect of it, but this time it failed11:20
AlanBellI will update the web page11:20
ali1234alternatively just don't accept any that didn't have the right postage11:21
oimontbh if i wanted a CD, the faff of SSAE etc would put me off, but a link to pay £1ish would be easy11:22
ali1234i will send you as many linux cds as you want if you send me bitcoins11:22
ali1234i don't accept paypal though11:22
ali1234and they are not originals11:22
ali1234i will just download and burn them11:22
oimontbh i'm surprised that there are people in the UK who don't have broadband, or a friend with it11:24
AlanBellali1234: you don't know what it is until you pay for it11:25
ali1234wut11:25
ali1234don't know what what is?11:26
AlanBellthe post office just leave a note saying you have an item that you need to pay postage for11:26
AlanBellcould be anything11:26
ali1234yeah11:26
ali1234don't collect any of them11:26
ali1234then the post office has to return it to the sender11:26
oimonwhat if its' something you purchased and want?11:26
oimonlike my latest woot tshirt11:27
ali1234then you make a claim against the seller "object never delivered"11:27
ali1234and buy it from someone else11:27
oimononce my grandad sent me a birthday card with a 1p stamp. his eyesight wasn't great and he thought it was a 1st class. it had ££ in it11:27
oimonbut no return address11:27
AlanBellhttp://ubuntu-uk.org/free-cds/11:31
Hippychicki never saw that before, wheres the furthest you have had to send to?11:34
AlanBellwell the one with insufficient postage was blackpool11:35
AlanBellonly sent out a few as we started it mid-release11:35
Hippychickfair enough11:35
AlanBellI expect we will make a bigger deal of it and accept pre-orders in the run up to Oneiric11:36
Hippychicki guess it stops the wastage as well from people ordering for the sake of ordering just because they are free11:39
AlanBellI don't know how much that was, I would be interested to know how many CDs shipit sent to the UK11:54
Hippychicki know a few years ago i went to order some, and by default it had selected to deliver 511:56
daubersmobTyre place is very busy today12:00

dogmatic69 /o\13:32
Hippychicki need a new tyre :/13:33
Hippychickdaubers, can i have yours? :P13:34
daubersHippychick: Probably the wrong tyres13:37
Hippychickshame :(13:45
Hippychickmaybe you can just take my car for the new tyre then bring it back to me: :D13:45
daubersHippychick: after my wallet being made £150 lighter from the two I got.... I'd rather not :p13:46
Hippychickfair enough, im £600 down from the ferrets :(13:47
daubers£600 on _ferrets_?????13:56
daubersWhere they made of gold?13:56
daubersSolid gold ferrets?13:56
daubersYou could buy a hive full of bee's, a beekeepers smock, hive tool, smocker and still have change for that!13:57
dauberss/smocker/smoker13:57
Hippychickx-rays and medicine13:57
Hippychick1 broke its leg twice and has major calcium defcieny so is being treated for that13:58
ikonia-remoteHippychick: are the ferrets pets or business13:58
Hippychickand the other being jelous of all the attention decided to try and break his leg so more x-rays and pain meds for both of them13:59
Hippychickthey are just pets, ikonia-remote13:59
oimonferrets are a replaceable commodity surely?14:00
oimonthey all look the same14:00
Hippychick:O no ferret is replaceable!14:00
* dwatkins returns to this window to see a statement he thoroughly agrees with14:02
dwatkinsindeed, Hippychick14:02
oimoncould you pick yours from an ID parade?14:03
Hippychicki could14:04
Hippychickthey each have different looks and personallities14:04
oimondo they all smell so bad or is it just the boys14:05
Hippychickmainly the boys, though this improves after they are neuterd, i dont notice any smell anymore14:06
andrew_Don't suppose anyone is familiar with slapd?14:06
DJonesIs it april fools day already? This sounds to good to be believable http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ITRI-Display-Taiwan-USB-3.0-2TB-Thin-Card,13320.html14:08
ikonia-remoteandrew_: what's up with slapd ?14:09
andrew_I have some kind of permissions problem on my db but can't figure out whats wrong - if i comment out two lines in /etc/default/slapd and let it run as root it is fine, but if i start normally as openldap it wont start14:10
andrew_I can probably leave it running as root as this is just for a home network14:11
HippychickDJones, that looks awesome, i want!!!!14:11
andrew_But I'd like to have it working properly14:11
DJonesHippychick: Me too, a 2 TB usb stick, something like that would be brilliant for schools/colleges etc, give every student one & they come to class, plug into a diskless chassis and boot up, take it from room to room with the weight of a laptop etc14:12
andrew_DJones, Couldn't that be done with far less storage than 2TB?14:16
TheOpenSourcererHmm - No oracle-java-jdk package in the future then? Better make sure everything works on OpenJDK instead: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-retires-licence-for-distributing-its-Java-with-Linux-1332835.html14:17
DJonesandrew_: It could quite easily, but I'm just surprised at the size of teh stick14:17
bigcalmThere isn't a 'send window to session n' is there? I can move windows between virtual desktops but not x sessions14:23
bigcalmDue to my setup I have 3 seperate X sessions running on 3 monitors14:24
ikonia-remotebigcalm: you can't do that14:24
ikonia-remoteif you used xinerama it may have been possible to write something that could send to X displays,14:25
ikonia-remotebut as pretty much no-one uses it these days I guess no-one bothered to write it14:25
bigcalmI did have xinerama across the 3 monitors, but that gives one a very slow desktop14:26
ormiretbigcalm: I think you could do that with xpra14:26
bigcalmormiret: interesting14:27
ikonia-remoteormiret: how can that work ?14:27
ormiretIt sits between teh app and X server that actually does the displaying and gives the option to connect to a different X server14:28
ikonia-remoteormiret: you can't send it to different X servers14:29
ikonia-remoteit's like an X11 version of screen, you can't push applications to different X servers with it14:29
ikonia-remotelast time I tried it it was quite buggy, which is understandable as it's early development14:30
ormiretyou can reattach to different computers so a different X server on the same machine should work14:31
ikonia-remotethat's not sending to a different X server though14:33
ikonia-remotethat's starting an applicaiton, detatching it, then re-attatching it on a different X server14:34
ormiretOther than a bit of shell scripting to mess with $DISPLAY between the detach and the reattach isn't that teh same thing?14:35
ikonia-remotefor me no, but as you say depends on your needs and expectations14:36
directhexbored, ikonia-remote? you seem super ircish since you went to brazil14:37
czajkowskiheh14:45
* MooDoo would be bored if he wasn't so damn busy14:46
DJones"ircish" I read that as "irish" :)14:47
MooDooDJones: no that's czajkowski[ish] :)14:50
czajkowski:D14:50
MooDooczajkowski: have you seen davmor2 today?   i don't seem to recall him poking you recently...14:53
czajkowskihe;'s leaving me on my hols14:53
MooDooczajkowski: huh?   he's come to see you for a visit?14:54
czajkowskino on irc14:54
MooDooah14:54
ikonia-remotedirecthex: super board14:57
ikonia-remoteplus as I'm away I thought I'd try to involve myself in the UK channel a little more rather than popping in/out14:57
Hippychickwhen my boss decided to lock all the router access down he never thought about internet enabled phones...15:05
Hippychicksorry, not router, internet15:06
czajkowskiHippychick: used to use anyterm in a place where it was all locked down15:12
czajkowskiso I could stil irc15:12
DJonesWho was it that was waiting for the £69 HP Pre? http://www.reghardware.com/2011/08/30/hp_puts_69_pound_pre_3_on_uk_website/15:12
oimondirecthex:15:13
DJonesI thought it was either AlanBell or TheOpenSourcerer15:13
AzelphurDJones: oO, is there any effort to get android on it?15:13
oimoni want another touchpad15:13
DJonesAzelphur: No idea about that15:14
directhexARGH15:14
* DJones shouldn't have mentioned it, if that the reaction15:15
Azelphurlol15:15
Azelphurpressing find a local retailer, nothing is happening15:15
ikonia-remoteahhh who cares15:15
Azelphurclearly it doesn't want to sell me one D:15:15
directhexcould you port android to it? sure. should you? Why on earth would you WANT to?15:16
ikonia-remotewhy is everyone obssed with porting android to these things15:16
Azelphurbecause I like android? because it's open source and has a huge selection of apps and is the #1 mobile operating system?15:16
directhexAzelphur, open source ish.15:16
ikonia-remoteandroid is turning into another Linux where things don't work as there are 200 varients all slightly different15:16
oimoni don't really regard android as linux15:17
oimonit just runs on linux15:17
directhexoimon, good. it isn't, really15:17
Azelphursure it is15:17
Azelphuryou can hack away at android just like any other distro15:17
ikonia-remoteI didn't say it was Linux, I said it's turning into another Linux due to how it's being forked/varients15:17
oimondo we see android apps running on our linux desktops?15:17
directhexAzelphur, awesome. there are some tweaks i want to make to the honeycomb ui...15:17
Azelphuroimon: yep15:18
oimonAzelphur: how?15:19
* Azelphur points at the android sdk15:19
directhexandroid isn't gnu/linux. it has a forked linux kernel, and a nonstandard userland. it's possible to run some android apps on a real linux kernel (or other non-android kernel) via software like Alien Dalvik15:19
* dwatkins wonders if mounting a filesystem from a 200 GB file on a USB-attached disk was a bad idea, when it fails to complete within 30 seconds15:19
directhexbut it doesn't achieve much.15:19
ikonia-remoteexactly15:20
oimonwhat happened to this? http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/05/canonical-developers-aim-to-make-android-apps-run-on-ubuntu.ars15:20
ikonia-remoteoimon: I hope it died15:20
directhexas for android on pre3... yeah. could be done. if someone writes the requisite drivers for the touchscreen15:20
ikonia-remotejust from the url alone15:20
directhexand finds a way to fake the hardware buttons via the gesture area15:20
czajkowskiikonia-remote: aye you;'ve never been as vocal in here till you went away15:20
directhexsomeone's got cyanogenmod to boot on a touchpad. the colours are wrong, and there's no user input, but it boots15:21
directhexsame technique would work for a pre3.15:21
ikonia-remoteczajkowski: thought I'd try to get more invovled in my local comunity15:21
Azelphur:)15:21
AzelphurIn other news, why does Ubuntu software center want me to pay in USD/Euro and charge me UK VAT?15:21
czajkowskiikonia-remote: ok :)15:21
czajkowskiAzelphur: log a bug15:21
czajkowskibit odd tbh15:21
Azelphurwoulda thought there's some explanation to it :p15:22
dwatkinshaha wow, it took several minutes to tell me off for forgetting the -o loop :)15:22

Hippychickjust looking at smartphones, the htc sensation has about as much processing power as our media server...15:27
ikonia-remotedirecthex: I still think those tablets would make mega network VT1000 or terminal emmulators15:27
ikonia-remotedirecthex: forget everything else just using them as a terminal emmulator would be a great tools15:27
directhexikonia-remote, if they had rs232 ports, sure ;)15:28

oimonseems to work nicely?15:30
ikonia-remotedirecthex: network acces would be great, a physical port would be even more amazing15:31
AzelphurIf you want apps with a little compromise it seems like Android, and if you want real Linux, Maemo is more mature, has more things ported to it, and uses X11 so you can have more things.15:31
directhexhttp://twitpic.com/6ct48e/full15:31
oimonisn't maemo pronounced meego nowadays?15:32
MartijnVdSdirecthex: is that banshee?!15:32
directhexoimon, except the n9 is running maemo 6, which has meego compatibility ;)15:32
directhexMartijnVdS, yes.15:32
MartijnVdSdirecthex: because it looks different than mine15:32
Azelphuroimon: good point :P15:32

directhexhere's the problem with android: it sucks. it really does. it's going to take over the world as the #1 smartphone OS not by being good, but by being everywhere. its devices are user-hostile, the OS is user-hostile. are there some good apps? yes, there are apps i really miss from android on webos. but it's a big app store on top of a crap os15:34
oimonHP accidentally made the TP more desirable than the ipad atm15:34
directhexoimon, seems like the tp had a pricing problem more than anything, eh?15:35
ikonia-remotewell, no, it just made it very cheep by killing it15:35
oimontons of guys have become insanley jealous of me suddenly15:35
oimonbecause i have something they can't get15:35
directhexyour tablet brings all the boys to the yard15:35
directhexand you're like "it's better than yours"15:36
oimondeffo15:36
oimonsome people didn't think they existed15:36
directhexi nearly bought one full price the week before they axed the price15:36
directhexno kidding15:36
ikonia-remoteluck is on your side15:37
oimonthe force is with you15:37
oimonalthough you might have got a refund15:37
ikonia-remotehas anyone jumped into the 6 core intil CPU's yet ?15:38
directhexnot i15:39
gingi can barely afford 2 cores15:39
directhexi'm on quadcore i7, wife is on quadcore i5 sandy bridge15:39
* MartijnVdS is waiting for Ivy Bridge15:39
ging6 cores? there was a time when they thought the world would only need 6 computers15:39
ikonia-remoteI'm torying with an upgrade for my machine in the loft.15:40
ikonia-remotetoying even15:40
directhextories? eek!15:40

directhexwifey has a big red pc now. it's got a 6970 in it15:41

ikonia-remotedid yo ubuy it red15:43
oimoni like the rennie tablets on top of the pizza advert15:43
oimonkind of go hand-in-hand15:43
directhexoimon, not a coincidence :|15:43
directhexikonia-remote, yeah, they make that one in red, alu & black15:43
DJonesdirecthex: Without wanting to add to the stereotype, .... but my wife has a red laptop because she liked the colour15:44
ikonia-remotenice15:44
ikonia-remotequite tidy, would fit well under my desk15:44
oimonwhen i eat a subway i swig gaviscon as a pre-emptive strike15:44
directhexikonia, and it came with the cd bezel in red. that was a big problem with other coloured cases15:44
ikonia-remotethat's a bit annoying15:44
Hippychickif it helps i have a dell studio with one of those funky patterns on the lid15:46
oimonmy wife said she didn't mind what colour our laptop was. so i bought a gunmetal/battleship grey one that i knew was good and i knew how to fix. now she tells me that wasn't exactly true.15:46
Hippychicki only wanted the laptop for the funky pattern....15:47
oimoni wonder if i can buy a big sticker for the case instead15:48
Hippychickoimon, depends on the sticker15:49
Hippychickmaybe you could spray paint it15:49
oimonnot this one i suppose http://www.notefashion.com/product.aspx?pid=2010052309044683715:50
Hippychickor airbrush might be  a better term....15:50
ikonia-remoteoimon: there are some companies that do really good viynal covers for laptops, made to spec15:50
ikonia-remoteeg: apple ones with the apple logo cut out, dell ones with the dell logo cut out, ones that cover the whole case, keyboard surround, monitor surroud, or ones that just cover the lid15:51
Hippychickmaybe not, though i like the abstract person one15:51

ikonia-remotedirecthex: I remember you ordering that15:54
dogmatic69ah :)15:54
directhexdogmatic69, what's the point in putting 16G of RAM into it at this point? better to save the money15:55
dogmatic69ram is about the cheapest part of a new pc15:55
ikonia-remotedirecthex: yeah, cache your whole file system ! waste ram you don't need15:56
suprengrwas thinking od adding memory myself today - saved the waste and bought a *low* end graphics card instead - weee!15:56
directhexdogmatic69, yeah, but we already blew the budget. it's a £140 case, for starters.15:58
dogmatic69ah15:58
dogmatic69what was the budget?15:59
directhexsomething around the £1000 mark. bitcoin mining added a few hundred to that though15:59

dogmatic69monitors are a big spend16:07
dogmatic69especially when you want 2 or 3 of them16:07
suprengrdirecthex, 2nd hand monitors from an electronics shop are usually less than £5016:08
gordnice monitors are a big spend ;)16:08
suprengranyone know if I can get 'sensors' to detect the temp. of an nVidia Geforce :(   anyone succeeded?16:11
bigcalmsuprengr: yep, works for my pci-e gt 8600, doesn't work for my pci 8400 gs16:12
bigcalmSo appears to be card dependant16:12
bigcalmOr I have to update sensors16:12
suprengrbigcalm, that's what i feared... ta16:13
directhexsuprengr: replacing a £250 24" PVA display with a £50 second hand CRT, to pair with a £1200 pc? outstanding idea16:13

bigcalmOops17:07
bigcalmchambo: if that was a typo of Apache, then try lighttpd. If it wasn't then I don't know17:07
hamitronmpd has plenty of frontends17:08

AlanBellthanks Myrtti17:23
AlanBellMyrtti passed the test17:24
MartijnVdSthe OCD test? :)17:24
MartijnVdSsorry.. CDO17:24
dutchiehaha17:24
MyrttiI wish I'll pass my second test this week too17:25
MyrttiI take this as good omens17:25
=== ikonia_ is now known as ikonia-remote
MartijnVdSMyrtti: what test is that?17:25
MyrttiMartijnVdS: *cough* Google job interview17:26
bigcalmCoooo17:26
bigcalmMyrtti: break a leg :)17:26
MartijnVdSMyrtti: ah, g'luck17:26
* bigcalm just realises that could sound a bit odd if one doesn't already know the expression17:27
MartijnVdSbigcalm: only a little ;)17:27
Myrttibigcalm: thankies ♥17:29
MyrttiMartijnVdS: thanks, I'll need it17:29
bigcalmMyrtti: take a lucky penguin with you ;)17:29
* suprengr was away playing with 'sensors' & is more than a little impressed with AlanBell 's promptness :)17:30
MartijnVdSwow: http://slacy.com/blog/2011/01/wifi-credentials-in-a-qr-code/17:30
ikonia-remoteMartijnVdS: that's an excellent tool, but a massive security risk for secured networks17:32
gordi just put a little post-it note on the router that contains the uuid/key17:32
AlanBellthat is cool17:35
MartijnVdSikonia-remote: afaics it only works for WEP/WPA with a pre-shared key17:36
MartijnVdSikonia-remote: not Enterprise-WPA17:36
MartijnVdSI might print one for in my home (for visitors)17:36
ikonia-remoteMartijnVdS: still a security risk that you give someone your password by being able to see an image17:38
ikonia-remoteit's basically the same as having a post-it as gord does, it's saving the hassle of having to type it, although it's probably only good for phone or tablet devices17:39
ikonia-remotepretty touch to get a picture like that on your laptop without messing around/hassle17:41
ikonia-remotegreat idea to give people data like this though17:41
chamboAn NFC sticker would be even better17:41
AlanBellikonia-remote: if someone is standing in my house and looking at my wifi access point then I would let them on my wifi anyway17:48
ikonia-remoteAlanBell: yeah, I can't see that as an issue for home use, it's a great trick,17:49
ikonia-remoteunless you use a laptop in which case it's a headache and easier to type17:49
* bigcalm notes this for the next time he's round AlanBell's place to steal bbq food17:50
* AlanBell notes that last time people came round for a BBQ a big sheet with the wifi key written on it was passed around17:50
