The_Fredyes, thats true as far as media players and the such goes, but its lacking in terms of extensibility00:05
HazRPGtime to update to flash 11b2 64-bit... see if its getting any better than the previous beta versions (how did it go from 10 to 11 without having a 10th release??)04:02
HazRPGinteresting, it still gets listed as "11.0.d1" inside of chrome's task manager04:10
HazRPGalso saddens me that it still runs using up 154M of Private Memory :/04:11
HazRPGfullscreen still broke on dual-head systems too04:11
HazRPG*sigh*04:11
HazRPGI think I'm expecting too much with this...04:11
MartijnVdS\o/ closed-source software :P05:28
HazRPGlol05:51
HazRPGindeed05:51
HazRPGam I missing something... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/beta-1/05:54
HazRPGwhat happened to "-alternate-amd64"05:55
HazRPGfor those without a mac...05:55
MartijnVdSHazRPG: try http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/05:55
MartijnVdS(or <countrycode>.releases.ubuntu.com)05:55
HazRPGo.O cos that's not confusing at all05:56
MartijnVdSHazRPG: all releases are on releases.ubuntu.com -- cdimage contains dailies and uncommon stuff05:56
HazRPGha05:56
HazRPGah*05:56
HazRPGMartijnVdS: thanks :)05:57
HazRPGI always hit cdimage.* in the past (in fact the main ubuntu page points you to cdimage.*)05:58
MartijnVdSit does?05:58
MartijnVdSdoes anyone else have problems playing Flash sound + "other" sound on oneiric?05:59
MartijnVdSbecause I have..05:59
shaunoMartijnVdS: #ubuntu+1  :p05:59
MartijnVdSshauno: meh, maybe someone knew :)05:59
shaunotrying to be funny :)  it's a bit hit & miss at 7am :/06:02
MartijnVdSI'm trying a purge & reinstall atm :)06:02
shauno(and ubuntu.com seems to send me to the right place for images.  google, however, rates cdimage.u.c pretty highly)06:03
HazRPGcould have been google where I got it from... I forget... its that time of morning06:04
MartijnVdSHazRPG: MOAR CAFFEINES06:04
HazRPGalso, I think I'm too much of a data-horde... I've just set off a dl of 4 different images of the same thing06:04
HazRPGMartijnVdS: I has Mountain Dew ;D06:04
shaunosilly wow-addicts.  *hoard.06:05
HazRPGshauno: says you... I haven't played in since Dec ^_^06:05
shaunobut I still speak english :)06:06
HazRPG<== I speak holycowitsmorning :)06:06
HazRPGbesides, as the ol' say goes... pebkac :)06:07
shaunohomophones.  how do they work.06:07
HazRPGshauno: ex-squeeze me?!06:08
HazRPGwords with different sounds?06:08
HazRPGor rather spelling != sound06:09
shaunoquite the opposite.06:09
HazRPGor something like that06:09
HazRPGspelling =~ sound sorry06:09
HazRPGanyone else noticed the new ubuntu-variant "Dream Studio"?06:11
HazRPGbah, I should really root my darn phone06:13
HazRPGstupid <20MB free annoyances :/06:13
MartijnVdS?06:14
MartijnVdSah06:14
MartijnVdSuninstall some unused apps :)06:14
HazRPGI wish I had apps that were unused to remove06:14
MartijnVdSI've _never_ had space problems on my phone -- but I remove everything I don't use >1 week06:14
HazRPGmain offenders are however facebook and google+ for the simple fact that they use up ~15MB each and can't be moved to SD06:14
* MartijnVdS has facebook is only 7 here06:16
HazRPGhmm...06:16
MartijnVdSalso, I have ~50MB free out of ~19606:16
shaunoare you guys stuffing them to the brim with music? or … 196?  MB?06:17
MartijnVdSshauno: Music is always on the SD06:17
MartijnVdSshauno: 196MB, yes06:18
MartijnVdS\o/ N106:18
MartijnVdS(190 MB application storage) according to Wikipedia06:19
shaunoglad I don't have android then :/06:19
MartijnVdSWhy?06:19
HazRPG14.52MB here06:19
MartijnVdSnewer phones have several GB application storage06:20
shaunobecause that seems like an incredibly silly limitation06:20
MartijnVdSthe model is 19 months old!06:20
HazRPGI was just about to say...06:20
MartijnVdSI'm waiting for the next Google Official® phone06:21
HazRPG14.52MB for facebook (1.5.4), with 4.80MB being application, and 9.71MB being data...06:21
HazRPGintrigued why its using 9.71 on data...06:21
MartijnVdSToo many friends :P06:21
HazRPGclearly o.O06:21
shaunopenny pinching MBs wasn't normal 14 months ago either :p06:21
MartijnVdSshauno: Sure but they fixed that with the Nexus S already06:22
HazRPGshauno: trust me... this whole "penny pinching MB's" just reminds me of the 80's man o.O06:22
shaunoI keep running out of space in 32GB.  <256MB sounds more like my first mp3 player.  more than 10 years ago06:22
HazRPGMartijnVdS: Downside to the Nexus S is no external-card support though06:22
MartijnVdSshauno: it's just application storage06:23
MartijnVdSshauno: Media is on an SD card06:23
MartijnVdSHazRPG: I don't need >32GB really06:23
HazRPGshauno: that's just internal memory, which was designed initially just for O/S gumph06:23
HazRPGshauno: problem lies with the app creators not allowing their apps to be installed to /sdcard06:25
HazRPGworst contenders are the free apps (or specifically games)06:25
shaunoit sounds more like the bog-standard "it's okay to be horrendously broken, because it's 'open'" to me06:25
HazRPGI feel its their way of saying "if you want to preserve your free space so you can actually update apps, then buy our paid version so you can put it onto SD"06:26
HazRPGshauno: blame the hardware manufacturers... they're the ones modelling it this way06:26
MartijnVdSHazRPG: those apps get lots of one-star reviews though06:26
HazRPGMartijnVdS: ah, second main contender of my apps is Google Maps o.O06:27
MartijnVdSHazRPG: wipe user data?06:27
HazRPGGMaps uses only 1.51MB of user data though :/06:27
MartijnVdSgoogle earth is huge06:27
HazRPGyeah, but that installs to SD ^_^06:27
MartijnVdSonly half of it does06:28
HazRPGouch06:29
HazRPGI keep wondering if flash is really needed on my phone... barely browse the web on this06:33
HazRPGand if I do, its not flash sites06:33
shaunonot sure I'll ever get used to them painting debconf pink06:33
HazRPGoh well, flash getting removed06:34
HazRPGMartijnVdS: does android store tmp stuff that doesn't purge itself?06:35
HazRPGMartijnVdS: i.e. the updates for apps06:35
MartijnVdSthe packages? no06:36
MartijnVdSonly the installed files06:36
HazRPGjust trying to work out what's going on with this thing06:37
HazRPGoh well that's google skymap gone too06:37
MartijnVdSSkymap is nice06:38
HazRPGtis, but I barely get to use it06:38
MartijnVdSbut you're in Cumbria06:38
MartijnVdSyou have clear dark skies06:38
MartijnVdSor you're supposed to, anyway06:38
HazRPGI wish I could get rid of google googles, that just seems pointless, I used it once... and that was when it was in beta... but now it just simply refused to remove itself (you can only remove the updates)06:39
MartijnVdSGoggles? I use it as a barcode scanner06:39
HazRPGMartijnVdS: you must be confused with somewhere else, we have cloud coverings (or rain) at least 75% of the time06:39
HazRPGI use the barcode scanner as a barcode scanner ^_^06:40
MartijnVdS2 apps for 1 purpose \o/06:40
HazRPGlol06:40
* MartijnVdS is off for a 10is mile run06:40
MartijnVdS(16ish km for those keeping count)06:40
HazRPG:P06:41
HazRPGjust for fun?06:41
MartijnVdSYeah, also a bit of training for http://damloop.nl/06:41
HazRPGah cool, good luck :)06:41
MartijnVdS(ron from Amsterdam to Zaandam, 2 weeks from now)06:41
HazRPGwoo 34MB free! \o/06:41
HazRPGand now my phone is spazzing out cos it can now update all the remaining apps and finally sync stuff up o.O06:42
HazRPGI've just heard the notification sound at least 8 times now XD06:42
MartijnVdS\o/06:42
MartijnVdSpixie dust :)06:42
HazRPGheh I use "On The Hunt"06:43
HazRPGand "Ta Da" for calendar stuff :)06:44
MartijnVdSPixie Dust, but caffeinated rattlesnake for Google Talk06:44
MartijnVdSand Captains Log for twitter06:44
HazRPGI don't recall what I use for GTalk06:45
HazRPGemails are different too06:45
MartijnVdSanyway. Running. :)06:45
HazRPGliterally ^_^06:46
HazRPGcatch ya later, have fun :)06:46
HazRPGinteresting, purging the facebook data seems to have shrunk it down to 7.02MB07:21
MartijnVdSback08:35
MartijnVdSHazRPG: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=214448722339818589968.0004ac0531f85492a2c8708:36

MartijnVdS:(08:36
MartijnVdSwanted to do a bit more, but then I got home :)08:36
HazRPGconsidering you did that in less than 2hrs, I must say 'grats :)08:38
MartijnVdSheh08:38
MartijnVdSHazRPG: I did it in less than 1:30:00 :)08:38
MartijnVdS("total moving time: 1:28:48")08:38
HazRPGnice :)08:38
HazRPG(I was basing off timestamps on irc ^_^)08:38
MartijnVdS8-)08:40
HazRPGI'm guessing your first leg was where you stressed yourself the most, @16.91km/h max speed ^_^08:40
MartijnVdSthat might just be the GPS getting up to speed08:40
HazRPGrest of them average out08:40
MartijnVdSor a downhill bit08:40
HazRPGpossibly :)08:40
MartijnVdSTime for some fresh teA08:42
MartijnVdS(Stop! Kettle time!)08:42

HazRPGyup09:46
HazRPGrollout needs to happen asap09:46
HazRPGplus... sooner I get it out... sooner I get paid... the more relaxation time I can has afterwards ^_^09:47
brobostigongood morning everyone.09:59
MartijnVdShi brobostigon09:59
brobostigonhi MartijnVdS o/10:00
Pernigmorning10:00
brobostigonhi Pernig10:00
* MartijnVdS considers some early afternoon sleep10:01
MartijnVdSRunning 15km takes a lot of energy :)10:01
brobostigon:) yes.10:01
shaunothey're doing an ironman thingie here tomorrow.  daft buggers10:02
MartijnVdSshauno: Those people are strange :)10:03
MartijnVdSthough I could have gone to 20km, if I'd taken enough water with me10:03
shauno"1.9-km swim in Galway Bay, 90K cycle, 21.1K run", according to one chap who's doing it tomorrow morning10:04
MartijnVdSouch10:04
MartijnVdSthat's a half marathon then I guess10:04
MartijnVdS(full is 42.something km)10:05
MartijnVdSyeah 42.195km10:05
shaunoI have a hangover planned for tomorrow.  seems much more sensible.10:05
Pernighaha10:05
MartijnVdS(stereotype note: shauno seems to be Irish, or at least in Ireland :)10:07
shaunowifi at the office is proper dodgy today :/10:10
shaunoonly thing worse than a captive portal, is a senile one10:12
Myrttido you British people appreciate the food that you produce or sell in your stores that is really, really quintessentially British? I'm sitting here, nibbling a dry-cured oak-smoked bacon rasher, I've got some nice cheddar with cheddar biccies waiting, and I'm absolutely adoring my elderflower cordial10:21
Myrttior is most of this stuff just run of the mill, business as usual, 'never thought about it being special' kind of stuff10:22
Myrtti(just wondering)10:22
HazRPGbrobostigon: morning dude ^_^10:23
tris2468Myrtti: it's kind of normal10:23
Myrttiam I being too philosophical early in the morning?10:24
tris2468I love elderflower cordial10:24
HazRPGPernig: hey \o10:24
shaunoI'm the wrong person to answer; haven't lived in the UK for 10 years now.  but when I was stuck in the states, I'd spend silly amounts trying to hunt down hp sauce, tea that actually tasted of tea, etc10:24
Pernigdefinitely not the stuff you'd generally buy in Tesco haha10:24
Pernighi Haz10:24
tris2468some of that stuff you have to get in proper shops like farm shops and stuff10:24
brobostigonHazRPG: good morning :)10:24
Myrttioh you can find this in Tesco if you are vigilant ;-)10:25
tris2468Myrtti: where did you get it? Did you take it back after oggcamp?10:25
Myrttibut you see, you wouldn't find *any* of this stuff in a big supermarket in Finland, apart from some rare occasion when there is _Cathedral_ _City_ cheddar in there10:25
Myrttitris2468: I'm flying tomorrow :-<10:25
tris2468Ah OK, I didn't know you were still here10:26
Pernigcathedral city10:26
Myrttistill here tho \o/10:26
Pernigthat's pretty nice10:26
Pernigbelieve it or not farmhouse cheese was extinct after WWII10:26
Pernigthere were only three recipes left10:26
tris2468Pernig: wow I never knew that10:26
MyrttiI absolutely adore the fruit and veg section in almost any decent sized supermarket in UK10:27
HazRPGMyrtti: hmm, that's a tough one... I pretty much live off pizza half the time... that and tuna sandwiches!10:29
Myrttiwhen I'm alone in Finland I wish I had the fruit portion options of UK, and the quacamoles and salsas10:29
MyrttiI don't like tin pineapple, and I don't want to buy a whole pineapple either10:29
Myrttiso... I have no pineapple10:29
HazRPGMyrtti: Welcome to the UK, home of the ready-meals ^_^ (or as the american's call it, TV Dinners)10:30
Pernigi wonder if you could freeze pineapple10:30
HazRPGPernig: sure can :) - you can freeze anything!10:30
shaunoI love getting pineapples whole.  they're good fun to hack apart10:31
Pernigfreezers are my new favourite invention10:31
MyrttiHazRPG: well atleast your ready-meals are fairly decent and there's plenty of choice10:31
Pernigwhen margarine is on offer i buy loads and freeze them all haha10:31
HazRPGPernig: same, except I want a bigger one... just so I can store more food stuffs!10:31
MyrttiHazRPG: I'm blown away with the ready-meal options of chinese and indian etc in the supermarkets - nothing like that in Finland, not in that scale10:32
Pernigi bought a beef risotto from home bargains for 49 pence the other day10:32
HazRPGMyrtti: I think its mainly because we British are breed to be lazy :P10:32
Pernigfreeze dried job10:32
Pernigit was pretty nice!10:32
Pernigi think next time i will buy two though10:33
HazRPGMyrtti: some of my friends who live on farms, or live out in the country side swear by making stuff at home (and I can't blame them, when they can cook that good!)10:33
brobostigonHazRPG: i have to cook mostly from scratch, as alot of the premade stuff, has things i am alllergic to.10:33
HazRPGMyrtti: Although, I know exactly what you mean. When I lived in Saudi it was basically "don't know how to cook, get yourself a happy meal instead" type thing... which sucks :(10:34
MyrttiHazRPG: yeah I love to cook, but there are days and times that it's impossible to cook10:34
HazRPGPernig: heh, nice... might have to try and see if I can get me some of that!10:34
HazRPGMyrtti: Quick trick I learned in Saudi... get a big freezer, learn to cook in big quantities, store in freezer :)10:35
Myrttiyeah, my apartment in Finland doesn't have a freezer tho :-<10:35
HazRPG:(10:35
HazRPGMyrtti: not at all?10:36
Myrttinever bothered the landlord to replace my fridge10:36
shaunofor me, it'd be closer to "get a big freezer - climb in it!".  I'd melt in saudi :/10:36
Pernigshame you are in an apartment, if you had a garden you could just put things outside in winter :P10:36
HazRPGbrobostigon: ouch dude, that must suck :( - although I feel your pain, my favourite food group (cheese) is slowly starting to not sit in my stomach much these days :(10:36
MyrttiPernig: I do have a glazed balcony, which I use to keep my old guineapig stuff :-D10:36
brobostigonHazRPG: yes, it is, but it allows for alot more creativity in my part. :). that aint good to hear, :(10:37
HazRPGbrobostigon: started drinking black coffee as a result too... and not eating cereal (or at least not with milk)10:37
brobostigonHazRPG: yes, makes sense.10:38
MyrttiHazRPG: hmmm are you sure about the cheese? if it's lactose intolerance then cheese shouldn't cause any symptoms10:38
HazRPGshauno: no need, air-con fits that bill ;D10:38
Myrtti(given it's been matured long enough)10:38
sagaciis there an #ubuntu-uk-chat or similar that isn't logged10:39
Myrttisagaci: no.10:40
Myrttiwhy?10:40
HazRPGMyrtti: hmm... I've always had problems stomaching anything with cheese in it... its just getting worse with time... milk never use to affect me, but it is now... sadly :(10:41
sagaciI'm usually in the ubuntu-au team channel and currently we have an -au and -au-chat, -chat being not logged. Just trying to gauge if any other teams do what we do10:41
HazRPGMyrtti: I know my mum became lactose intolerant (when she was like 30 odd)... seems I'm getting the same, however I think on the cheese front, I think its more to do with the fact that its (as you said) matured10:42
shaunosagaci: I'm curious, do you end up with people chatting in both channels?10:43
HazRPGheh sagaci killed the convo ^_^10:44
HazRPG...bah! I'm hungry now o.O10:45
sagacikinda, there was discussion on our mailing list over a year ago but I came to the party late and didn't realise how it was all structured, it's just that I find the -au-chat fairly redundant since we're don't get that much chat in the "main" channel anyhow10:45
shaunothat's what I thought would happen :/10:45
shaunoeither one channel would 'win', or you'd have a divisive split between the holier-than-thou in the logged channel, and the black helicopter types in the other10:46
sagaciand there's been times where I've said something worth logging in the chat channel and it's been lost since it's not a logged channel :/10:46
HazRPGsagaci: yeah, that sort of thing does happen... you essentially split the community up by doing that, you make them feel like they *can't* talk in the normal channel unless its on-topic10:46
shauno(to completely stereotype each end of the scale)10:46
Pernigback soon guys, stuff to do :\10:47
HazRPGPernig: gl;hf;10:47
sagaciit's just that you come into this channel and there can be "on-topic" stuff and there can be cheese stomach problems, which I think it's how it should be since main support is in #ubuntu and official channels10:47
HazRPGshauno: heh, that's a anon/known stereotype your making there (either that or: black hat vs white hat)10:48
shaunonah, the black helicopter / tinfoil hat types are older than the internet :)10:49
HazRPGsagaci: agreed :)10:49
HazRPGshauno: ah, heh10:49
shaunoI think it should be this way.  as long as people know to shelf their cheese if they're getting in the way of on-topic discussion10:49
HazRPGshauno: most do :)10:50
shaunootherwise would be a bit strange having a 'community' that discourages getting to know each other10:50
HazRPGits rare to see off-topic when people is having issues (well minus any trolls)10:50
Myrttisagaci: Finnish loco has HORDE of channels, including a chat channel - but I can't remember which of them are logged and which are not10:50
sagacibecause I find it a bit hard to figure out what's on-topic and what's not and what's worth logging and what's classified as "rubbish"10:51
HazRPGsagaci: that's just it though, its all subjective10:51
HazRPGwhat I find that might be "interesting" or "on-topic" might not be10:52
sagaciyeah, I might bring it up10:52
HazRPGsagaci: worth bring it up, if anything - worst that'll happen is that they'll keep *-chat10:52
HazRPGMyrtti: ah, but we also have other channels... e.g. #ubuntu-uk-minecraft10:53
HazRPGhowever #ubuntu-uk-minecraft makes sense though10:54
MyrttiHazRPG: I know that one, I suggested it :-)10:54
sagaciyeah, i'll wget the logs from the past 6 months and see what's kind of average/mode I get for lines of chat on each day10:54
HazRPGMyrtti: I know you did, I was there ;)10:54
HazRPGsagaci: do they not already have a script that does that already?10:55
sagacimaybe they do10:55
HazRPGbah, apparently ours is gone with the new site10:57
HazRPGpopey, AlanBell: What happened to the "common words" and "common phrases" section of our logs?10:57
HazRPGI could have sworn there use to be one...10:58
HazRPGsagaci: ah wait, here it is: http://ubuntu-uk.org/ircstats/10:58
HazRPGI was just looking for the wrong thing ^_^10:59
MartijnVdSHazRPG spoke a total of 5294 words!10:59
MartijnVdSHazRPG talks to him/herself a lot. He/She wrote over 5 lines in a row 5 times!11:00
shaunoand if you go to the bottom, "HazRPG talks to him/herself a lot", which explains half of them :)11:00
HazRPGMartijnVdS: haha, apparently we're both the most chatty :P11:00
MartijnVdSHazRPG: apparently, you sleep between 18-23 :)11:00
HazRPGMartijnVdS: that's probably more likely when I'm working :P11:02
MartijnVdSHazRPG: so when do you sleep? :)11:02
HazRPGvaries11:02
HazRPGI sleep maybe 3-6hrs a day11:03
shaunoheh, I'd like to see a computer guess when I sleep :)11:03
HazRPGshauno: well this computer is well off... because I'm usually gibbering away to you between 18-23 :P11:03
shauno*18-511:04
MartijnVdS0-2411:05
shaunolol11:05
HazRPGthis one made me lul: shauno is also a sad person, crying 11.6% of the time.11:05
shaunohe's funny sometimes.  I'll wake up to find 5 hours worth of babble, finished with "oh wait, you said you were going to sleep"11:05
HazRPGshauno: rofl, not always XD11:06
shaunono, sometimes you're still going when I wake up11:06
HazRPGI just forget some people sleep more than me o.O11:06
MartijnVdS(or at all)11:06
HazRPGMartijnVdS: You still think I'm a bot don't you :P11:07
MartijnVdSHazRPG: There is a possibility ;)11:07
HazRPGMartijnVdS: Ah, I just thought, some nites I play SC2 at around the 18-23 mark :) - usually my mumble server is full around those hours11:10
sagaciso is ubuntu-uk.org Canonical hosted or by the virtue of someone here?11:11
shaunoI believe it's on a vps donated by the vendor11:13
HazRPGwell we're an official LoCo11:13
HazRPGthat's as much as I know...11:13
HazRPGoh, we have a mumble server too iirc11:14
HazRPG(on same said vps)11:14
shaunoI thought mumble was on one of mr Bell's german boxes11:14
HazRPGshauno: ah, could be actually...11:14
shauno(I pay attention to the oddest details.  leftover from my stalker days :)11:14
HazRPGnever anyone on it though sadly :(11:15

HazRPGAlanBell: Hmm?11:16
AlanBellthe stats11:16
HazRPGah, oh... yeah I found them, I was looking for the wrong keywords11:16
LcawteHmm, anyone know the best places I can drum up some interest for the Ubuntu Gaming Team... mainly marketing with little bits of everything else on the side...11:16
HazRPGI was expecting them to show up at the top under "today's chatter"11:17
HazRPGLcawte: best bet is on a mailing list of some sort I think...11:19
shaunowhen I take over the world, whoever came up with Lotus Notes gets a 3 minute head start.  grrrrrr.11:20
HazRPGLcawte: https://lists.ubuntu.com/11:21
HazRPGLcawte: probably best targeting the LoCo's since those tend to be a bit more generalised, rather than having a topic set11:22
* Lcawte spams #ubuntu-uk11:22
penguin42shauno: That's much too generous11:23

brobostigonah, i see. ok.11:47
shaunothere used to be a script hanging around that'd order pizzas from dominos11:47
gordthere should be a "buy developer a pizza button" on launchpad11:48
HazRPGgord: heh, now that would be pretty smart :P11:49
HazRPGgord: although, could you imagine a pizza randomly turning up at your office/home at random times of the day... several times a day (if you were a popular dev)... that would get insane o.O11:49
HazRPGwould be funnier to see the pizzaman's face more than anything11:50
gordHazRPG, there are always uses for pizza!11:52
HazRPGgord: like pizza trading? (the developers game™)11:54

MartijnVdSIs it one of the big providers? I'd ask in their shop.13:27
hamitronit is orange13:28
StevenRhamitron: multi-location issues?13:28
MartijnVdSAsk in an Orange store :)13:28
hamitronthere is no orange store locally13:28

MartijnVdShamitron: isn't Orange T-Mobile now?13:28
hamitronI dunno tbh13:28
* hamitron shrugs13:28
hamitronI had this number for 14 years and never changed13:29
StevenRreported it, they blamed my phone, I told them that was clearly not the phone. They phoned a week later with "yeah, um, sorry, our transmitter is bust"13:29
MartijnVdShamitron: you could call their help desk from another phone13:29
hamitronI maybe should13:30
hamitron:/13:30
StevenRhamitron: do you have another orange phone nearby (friend's/etc) ?13:30

MartijnVdSdid you add balance in the last few months?13:31
hamitron"SIM Card registration failed"13:31

StevenRdo you have another phone you can try with that sim, an old one maybe?13:32
hamitronMartijnVdS: no13:32
hamitronand no13:32
hamitron:/13:32
MartijnVdShamitron: that would be it then13:32
StevenRhamitron: could be the cell is full, depending where you are?13:32
MartijnVdShamitron: they reset the "used" counter only when you give them money13:32
MartijnVdSat least, they do here13:32
hamitronMartijnVdS: so i lost the number?13:32
MartijnVdShamitron: you might be able to get it back if you call the help desk and ask nicely and/or use a different phone to add balance13:33
MartijnVdSI don't know13:33
hamitronI feel like telling them to f' off anyway13:33
hamitronhaha13:33
hamitronI don't exactly need a phone13:33
hamitronjust would be polite to let me know if they were going to cut it off13:34
hamitron07 number from a landline will cost more than it is worth imo13:36
hamitronso probably just leave it13:36
* MartijnVdS has 2 months left on his Voda contract13:40

hamitron"If you're visually impaired and can't read text messages, please call 0800 079 0006 to talk to us and we'll help "13:40

shaunoI prune as soon as I can't reach them all from meta1-0 :/14:18
ali1234hamitron when did you last top up?14:52
ali1234you should get a contract sim anyway, it is far better value14:53
ballThat reminds me, I need to top up my phone.14:59
ballali1234: I get better value from a pay-as-you-go with unlimited text and web.14:59
ali1234how much better?15:00
Pernigi bet you don't get a free phone though :P15:00
ali1234t-mobile is £10/month for 100 minutes and 100 texts and 1 booster, where boost = unlimited internet or unlimited texts, and you also get a free phone (but only a cheapo one)15:01
ballUKP 21.58/month for 300 mins talk and unlimited data.15:02
ballPernig: No, I had to pay a little bit for the phone.15:03
Pernigthat giffgaff looks quite interesting15:03
ali1234that's not really better value :/15:03
ali1234not if you rarely make calls anyway15:04
ballali1234: 300 mins is perfect for me.  If I used it less there are other options but I went from contract to PAYG.15:04
ball...because my contract carrier couldn't offer anything comparable.15:05
ballHow much is petrol today?15:05
ali1234for £20/month t-mobile will give you 600 minutes, 500 texts, a booster, and a htc wildfire s (android)15:06
funkyHatali1234: 2 year contract?15:07
ballali1234: Unlimited data?15:07
hamitronali1234: probably a long time ago, I've put £5 on 7 times over 12 years15:09
ali1234ball: you can choose "unlimited" internet as the booster, or some other things. you can switch each month too. so if going on holiday, you can switch it to cheap roaming15:09
ali1234and yes, 2 year contract. so what? are you going to decide you don't want a mobile phone in 1 years time?15:10
* hamitron is deciding to have no phone as from now15:10
hamitron;)15:10
* Pernig is on a two year contract15:11
Pernigjust over one year in and fortunately my phone is still kind of current15:11
hamitronif my work arrangements change to something where I am moving around a lot, I may consider a contract I suppose15:11
ballUKP20/month isn't bad.  T-mobile don't offer anything like that over here.15:11
Pernigmine is £35 :|15:12
hamitronPernig: your contract is as much as I've topped up in 12 years :-o15:12
hamitronscarey15:12
Pernighamitron: it would be more if i were on pay as you go15:12
Pernignot to mention the cost of the phone itself15:13
ballThat reminds me, I should top up.15:13
ballPernig: That's a one-off cost though.15:13
hamitronI have had 3 phones to buy also15:13
Pernigit's still a cost i'd rather not pay15:13
ballPernig: Provided you don't buy a new phone every year, it's probably not much of an issue.15:13
hamitronso £170 for phones, and maybe another £100 for ngage games15:13
hamitron:)15:13
Pernigi will probably keep this phone once my contract runs out and go for a cheaper tarriff15:14
funkyHatali1234: just asking ⢁). I'm on a 2 year contract with tmob too15:15
Perniglast time i ended up making money when i upgraded due to selling the old phone :P15:15
ali1234i could have sold the free phone i got, but decided to keep it for the spare battery which is the same as N90015:15
funkyHatPernig: not completely conviced that counts as making money ;P15:16
ali1234could have sold it for like £60, which is 1/4 of the total cost of the contract15:16
Perniglol you're right funkyHat15:16
hamitronfunkyHat: agreed, there is a contract to pay off in the future :/15:16
funkyHatali1234: um... sounds like 1/8th to me?15:17
ali1234no, because my contract was only £10/month15:17
funkyHatali1234: oh, thought you were talking about the £20/m one15:17
hamitroncan you buy numbers?15:17
funkyHathamitron: what do you mean?15:18
ali1234i'll sell you a vowel15:18
hamitronlike buy a number, so nobody can take it off you15:18
Perniga phone number?15:18
hamitronyeh, a phone #15:18
hamitron:)15:18
Pernigi guess if you keep your sim topped up or keep the same contract you can15:18
Pernigi've had the same # for 5 years15:19
hamitronI've had mine for 12 years15:19
hamitron:/15:19
funkyHathamitron: how would someone be able to take a number off you?15:19
Perniglol15:19
hamitronfunkyHat: well, I've had the number for 12 years, and just failed to topup or spend or something15:19
hamitronfunkyHat: now they taken it off me15:19
funkyHathamitron: oh... don't know if there's anything you can do about that15:20
hamitronby buying number, I mean to own the number then have control even if the contract is terminated, etc15:20
ali1234they have to allow porting of numbers now15:20
ali1234as long as you don't end the contract15:20
ali1234which you did15:21
ali1234so you are screwed15:21
hamitronali1234: they ended my contract without warning15:21
hamitron;/15:21
ali1234he warning was in the contract15:21
ali1234if you don't top up every few months, orange cut you off15:21
hamitronyeh, so they have control over me with a contract15:21
hamitronwhich is why i wonder about buying just a number15:22
ali1234yes, but the contract gives you rights too, like the right to port the number15:22
ali1234but once the contract ends you lose those rights15:22
ali1234so yeah it works both ways15:22
ballI had fun explaining rotary dial telephones to fork earlier this week.15:22
ballShe's six, but she cottoned onto it fairly quickly.15:22
ali1234you can get a 0870 number for free15:22
Pernignot seen one of those for a while15:22
ali1234or a vanity one for a cost15:22
ballI have a rotary dial app for my phone :-)15:22
ali1234it costs people more to ring you though15:22
ali1234anyway you can buy a number and just have it redirect15:23
hamitronali1234: but there is no way I could keep the number without transfering to another contract I assume?15:23
ali1234there is no way you could use the number without being on a contract15:23
hamitronyeh, I accept that15:23
hamitronbut I just don't want a number tied with the contract15:24
hamitronin case they decide to terminate it again15:24
hamitrontbh, not worth it15:25
hamitronthe fact they disconnected me, shows how much I use it15:26
hamitron:)15:26
hamitronand my friends can't moan about me not taking my mobile phone with me now, as technically I don't have one15:26
hamitron\o/15:26
shaunoI have an old phone like that.  I put a tenner on it each year just to keep the number active15:30
hamitronI was going to, just forgot15:30
hamitron:/15:30
hamitronI receive calls each week on it15:30
hamitronnot now though15:30
hamitron;)15:30
shaunothis one I just keep because I have the number forwarded to my real phone15:31
hamitronhoenstly I don't care for a mobile really15:32
hamitronhonestly15:32
hamitronbut it is just the fact people always could contact me on this number, I find annoying15:32
Pernigi do as i don't have a house phone :P15:32
penguin42likes having google maps and reader on the go15:33
hamitronI just have a landline15:33
hamitronI like my DSL15:33

hamitronI wonder how many do that.... I know loads that do it15:34
hamitronmine is secure ofc15:34
Pernigit's my friend's and i chip in now and again so i'm not a complete scoundrel15:34
hamitronyeh, most I know just take the piss tbh15:34

hamitronI not even got wifi15:36
hamitron:/15:36
hamitronkeep considering setting up wifi in 1 room15:36
hamitronso can just casually use it15:37
hamitronrather than have cables across the floor to the laptop15:37
ali1234my wifi is only for people who aren't me15:37

Perniglucky you!15:40
hamitronmine was 144.9p today15:41
hamitron:/15:41
Pernigi could but it would mean paying for it, something i'm loathe to do15:41
Pernigworks out cheaper to chip in with the neighbours15:41
hamitronPernig: yeh15:41
hamitronmakes sense if you are happy with wifi15:41
Pernigi'm not entirely happy to be honest15:42
hamitronbut when I personally tested wifi, the range was awful around the house15:42
hamitronit was younger tech back then ofc15:42
hamitronbut it was going to cost £80 per AP15:42
Pernigi am using N and it's managing to pick it up from another building15:42
hamitronand I needed 4 or 5 of them15:42
Pernigbut it's got about 7M of USB extensions daisy chained to the computer15:43
hamitronplus £25 for a network card15:43
ballWhen I moved here 13 years ago petrol was just 21p/litre15:43

ali1234my 802.11g covers about 2 houses in each direction15:45

ali1234you people must live in drydocked oil tankers and 18th century mansions or something15:45
ballali1234: I haven't tested that ;-)15:45
penguin42gord: Oh interesting - I've got a drive very like that15:45
Pernigonce you are in the next house the connection isn't too reliable though15:46
ali1234i find the connection is unreliable even if you are under 1m from the AP15:46
ali1234that's why i hate wifi15:46
ali1234i get a better connection on bluetooth15:46
ali1234even from another room15:46
* funkyHat has had virtually no problems with his 802.11g access point for about 5 years15:47
popeyWhere I was on holiday there was no signal on any network at all15:47
Pernigi think i'd rather have even wireless G than bluetooth15:47
popeywell, 3, orange, voda and o215:47

hamitron:/15:49
Pernigobject push would be more like 50KB/s15:49
ali1234raw bluetooth sockets :)15:49
ginghamitron: n is no better than g, it basicly just uses extra chanels at once to get more data15:49
ali1234pretty much anything that uses AF_INET can be trivially converted to use bluetooth15:50
funkyHatging: I'm not keen on those really... for wired stuff I've put in regular ethernet, and they aren't any help for stuff I want to move around anyway15:50
Pernigi find N has much better range than G15:50
StevenRging: that's not what I've found.15:50
funkyHatI guess if you're not allowed to drill ethernet over power is probably the best option for fixed stuff though15:50
StevenRhamitron: what are the walls made of?15:50
hamitronbrick15:50
hamitron:/15:50
gingPernig: probably because the kit you have for N is better than the kit you had for G15:50
StevenRhamitron: redbrick?15:50
ali1234brick is easy15:50
hamitronStevenR: a mixture of red brick, stone and chalk perhaps15:51

hamitronI know some bits you can't drill through15:51

gordi just want less things beeping at me, i don't know why we turned in to a civilisation that does what the electronic device beeping at us tells us to, but i for one, will not stand for it16:09
hamitrongord: exactly16:09
hamitron:)16:09
* penguin42 fails to remember the quote from McCoy about that16:09
hamitronI'm quit IRC too, if I didn't like it here so much <3 ;)16:09
hamitronI'd*16:09
hamitrongiven up loads of messaging protocols16:10
hamitronnever gonna use facebook16:10
* funkyHat beeps at gord 16:10
hamitronalso closing as many accounts as I can16:10
ballFacebook is awful.  I have to force myself to check it once a week.16:10
ballIt's the only form of communication I have with most of my nieces and nephews ;-)16:11
hamitronI've found not using it, I have lost touch with a lot of lazy people16:13
hamitronI've always made the time to write xmas cards, etc. but they can't even update me with their address16:14
hamitronfunny thing, they never thought the need as I "never change phone number"16:14
hamitron:D16:14
hamitronnow the fools have no number16:14
hamitronthey seem to change phone numbers without letting people know too16:15
hamitronunless I'm just missing announcements on facebook or something16:16
jacobwfacebook == the internet :P16:19
hamitronjacobw: I shall withdraw from "the internet"16:20
hamitron:D16:20
hamitronactually, it bugs me how some adverts says to go to a facebook page16:20
hamitronto look at products16:20
hamitronthere was even some news program I saw on the bbc that said to16:20
hamitronI'd expect the bbc to be capable of hosting their own pages? :/16:21
gordthey can, but if its on facebook everything you click gets posted to someone elses facebook16:21
hamitronbut how will it work with google+?16:21
gordgetting you to go to a facebook page is not about getting you to go there, its about getting all your friends to go there16:22
hamitronsurely the bbc can't favour 1 type16:22
hamitron:)16:22
Perniglol16:22
Pernigdoesn't stop them trying16:22
Pernigthey all bang on about twitter16:22
hamitronit will get to the stage where each 30 min program on tv spends 5 mins relaying all the online account info to visit16:23
hamitron:/16:23
hamitronnot that is bothers me, since they turned my tv off16:23
hamitronit*16:23
Pernigpersonally i'd rather read about things on the internet than watch tv haha16:23
gordi tried to play a video game the other month, it tried to get me to log in via facebook to play it :( nope.16:23
hamitrongord: same16:23
hamitronI just bought the King Arthur Collection also16:24
hamitronit has facebook inside the game on the title page16:24
gorda collection of king arthurs?16:24
hamitron:D16:24
hamitronhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/King-Arthur-Collections-PC-DVD/dp/B004X5JIAQ16:25
popeyone star16:25
hamitronpopey: bit harsh imo16:25
hamitronalso only 1 review16:26
popeyya16:26
hamitronI'd give it 3 or 4 stars16:26
hamitronit has crashed on me once16:26
hamitronand I haven't played it that much16:26
hamitronit also uses steam16:26
hamitron:/16:26
Pernigsteam i don't mind16:26
Pernigit makes it easier16:26
hamitronbut the storyline is nice16:26
hamitronand the music gives the game a good feel16:27
hamitronPernig: just worries me having online type DRM16:27
Pernigah16:27
hamitronand Steam are willing to cut users off, like I was16:28
hamitron:/16:28
Pernighow so?16:28
hamitronso i got burnt once by steam, and know what can happen16:28
hamitronthey dropped support for my OS in the steam client16:28
hamitronso i was locked out of my games collection16:28
Pernigwhat OS were you using? I am still on XP for games16:28
hamitronI was using Windows 98 at the time16:29
hamitronmost people claim it is my own fault for using it, but the fact is, I had to buy a newer version of windows, because of steam16:29
hamitron:/16:29
* funkyHat is surprised how difficult it is to find a cheap-ish low profile 1gbps PCI-E ethernet card16:30
hamitronPernig: there wasn't so many games on steam when it happened, but I worry what will happen when MS drop XP support in the SDK steam uses.... causing XP support to be dropped16:31
hamitronPernig: some games don't work well on versions newer than XP, and I like to play my old games :)16:31
hamitronPernig: it is just that control over me, I don't like16:32
Pernigi see what you mean16:32
Pernigi could do with upgrading at some point16:32
Pernigbut i don't really want to pay16:32
Pernigbecause i don't use it16:33
Pernigonly for games, and tbh the only games i have played recently have been on linux16:33
hamitronwell, according to the stats16:34
hamitrononly 2% of steam users used win98 at the time16:34
Pernigi reckon a lot more than 2% of current steam users use XP16:35
hamitronbut it shows they are willing to cut off a minority of users, even when them users have paid out for stuff16:35
hamitronPernig: yep16:35
hamitronbut think in 5 years time16:35
hamitronmaybe less16:35
Pernigand we are in a situation where a lot more games have been released retrospectively on steam16:35
hamitronyeh16:35
hamitronI am hoping they don't do the same to XP, as win9816:36
Perniggames that i struggle to get working on XP16:36
Pernigi hope so too16:36
hamitronI voiced my concerns at the time16:36
hamitronand most people laughed it off16:36
hamitrontbh, you are one of the few who has actually seen my point16:37
hamitron:)16:37
Pernigi like my old games as well :P16:37
hamitronif the majority of users are happy with the continious upgrade cycle, there is a good chance they could do the same16:38
hamitron:/16:38
hamitronI've gone 98->2000->716:39
hamitronso teh XP won't affect me tbh16:39
Perniganother thing that would bug me is i use a wii classic controller, and that can't be made to work on 64 bit windows afaik16:39
hamitrontbh, I have more time for MS than Steam16:39
Pernigi have no time for MS16:40
hamitronMS drop support, but let you continue to use the software you buy16:40
Pernigbut that is mainly due to technical reasons16:40
ali1234MS are kidding themselves if they think majority of people are going to stop using XP any time in the next 5 years16:40
hamitronSteam stop you using what you buy on their say so16:40
hamitronPernig: technical stuff wise, I agree, I hate MS for that16:40
hamitronbut my windows 95 disk still installs16:41
hamitron:)16:41
ali1234i still use XP SP016:41
Pernigie my softraid won't work on win716:41
Pernigbut windows is the only reason i need fake raid16:41
Perniglinux picks up fakeraid even if you plug your drives into a different motherboard16:41
Pernigand of course software raid is built in16:42
hamitron:/16:42
hamitrontechnically MS are just useless tbh16:42
hamitronhaha16:42
hamitronso many problems16:42
hamitron:/16:42
hamitronbut the day they start telling me they are cutting off my copy of windows and stopping it booting, is the day I refuse to work with their stuff16:43
hamitronwith steam, I buy everything on CD or DVD16:44
hamitronso hopefully one day if it is needed, it can be cracked16:44
ali1234how they going to stop windows xp from booting?16:44
hamitronali1234: I don't think they are16:44
ali1234even if they wanted to they couldn't16:45
hamitronali1234: I was saying if they start acting like steam, I'd refuse to use it16:45
ali1234SP0 does not require an internet connection even16:45
ali1234they could probably do it with 7, but if you use that you're a fool16:45
hamitronty :/16:45
hamitronI got win7 for £4516:46
ali1234lol16:46
ali1234you say you wouldn't use it if they tried16:46
hamitronretail boxed16:46
Pernigi wouldn't even pay that much :P16:46
ali1234i won't even use it if there is the possibility, even if they say they won't16:46
ali1234which is why i am still on SP016:46
hamitronali1234: I wouldn't use any of their stuff ever again if they do ;)16:46
hamitronbut EA and Steam are far more restrictive than MS with disabling of products16:47
hamitronalthough, I must say i don't like any of them really16:47
ali1234yes16:47
hamitron;)16:47
ali1234that's why i'll never bu anything from either16:47
ali1234i'll play their free games but that is it16:47
Pernigi love the humble indie bundles16:48
Pernigbought all of those so far16:48
hamitronI'm trying to strike a ballance atm16:48
* funkyHat has all 4 humble bundles ⢁)16:48
hamitronlike any game that is download only on steam in the UK, I am getting imported16:48
ali1234i'll also never buy a PS3 or a wii or a xbox 36016:48
ali1234i don't like PC games anyway16:49
* Pernig has a wii but it's more an ornament than anything16:49
hamitronali1234: I wish I didn't like games :)16:49
ali1234the last good game that came out on console was wind waker lol16:49
Pernighttp://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/227496_10150260788361729_773591728_8696199_884270_n.jpg16:49
hamitrondistributors just screw you many times over :/16:49
ali1234and PC has had probably 2 good games in the past 10 years16:50
ali1234and both of them involve mining16:50
hamitronmining?16:50
Pernigminecraft!16:50
hamitroneve?16:50
Pernig<316:50
Pernigand eve i had to stop playing when i start to plan my life around it16:50
hamitronindeed16:50
hamitronhaha16:50
ali1234and dorf fortress, yeah16:50
ali1234eve isn't so much a game as a complicated time wasting system16:51
hamitronI like my racing sims :)16:51
hamitronI'll give any type of game a go, but racing is what hits the spot for me16:51
suprengrhamiltron speed dating? ;)16:56
hamitronhaha16:56
gordi am bad at racing games...16:56
gordthey require me to use the break, screw that. the barrier on the corner is my break16:57
hamitronhehe16:57
hamitronI just don't like to be using a keyboard all the time16:57
hamitroncan lay back in chair, relax in an intense online race16:58
Pernighamitron: do you use a wheel for racing?16:58
hamitronyeh16:58
* suprengr suggests using 4 wheels - better than any unicycle16:58
hamitronhehe16:59
hamitronif it wasn't for the cost and distance to places to race16:59
hamitronI'd try it irl16:59
hamitronso a sim is as close as I realistically can get to it17:00
hamitronand it is exciting and competitive online to a degree17:00
Pernigi used to love live for speed17:00
hamitronwell, can be17:00
hamitronyeh, that is good17:00
Pernigyou can really chuck those formula bmws about17:00
hamitronI only have the demo17:00
hamitron:/17:00
Pernigit's worth the money17:01
* jacobw also likes racing games17:01
hamitronyeh, I just like physical media17:01
hamitronso i can say i got something for my money17:01
hamitron;)17:01
jacobwha17:01
jacobwyou've got some future landfill for your money :P17:01
hamitronI'm a serious collector here17:01
hamitron;/17:01
hamitronover 300 PC games all in "as new" condition17:02
hamitronjust love looking through them17:02
hamitronand deciding what to play17:02
Pernigi am too careless with my stuff17:02
Pernigbetter now but as a child i used to wreck games17:03
Pernigi'm kicking myself now17:03
hamitroncertain "series" I would have always bought17:03
Pernigi had the original grand prix 2 box complete with 200 odd page manual (all in english)17:03
hamitronlike C&C17:03
hamitronbut now the DRM has stopped me17:03
hamitron:/17:03
hamitronPernig: I have that17:03
hamitron:)17:03
gorddon't worry, the new C&C games are terrible anyway17:03
Pernigi also loved C&C until they killed it17:03
PernigEA that is17:03
hamitron1,2,3,3 2k addon, 417:03
hamitrongp series that is17:04
hamitron:)17:04
hamitrongord: but it still breaks my collection17:04
hamitron:/17:04
hamitronI don't even play all the games I buy17:04
gordno, having 4 IN your collection, validifying it as part of the series, would break your collection17:04
Pernighaha17:04
hamitron:/17:05
* hamitron takes #4 out17:05
gordseriously, they removed resource gathering and base building. how is that a C&C game?17:05
hamitronoh, C&C17:05
hamitronthought you meant GP417:05
hamitron:)17:05
gordas i mentioned before, racing games are not my forte ;)17:05
hamitronthe last C&C game I got as #317:05
hamitronI not got red alert 3 because of DRM17:06
hamitronand C&C 4 there is no need to get, because I don't have them all, so won't bother17:06
hamitronso really, DRM is just making me consider not buying any PC games now17:08
hamitronand maybe work on coding some game17:08
hamitronthat new Rugby game coming out this month on steam is download only17:10
hamitron:/17:10
hamitronF1 2011 is download only in the UK17:10
jacobwsports games suck17:10
hamitronso will import F1 201117:10
hamitronjacobw: I agree mostly, but sometimes nice for a change17:11
hamitron:)17:11
hamitronI refuse to buy just racing games17:11
hamitronlike to have a nice choice17:11
hamitronpersonally, I consider FPS over rated17:12
jacobwwhat do think of operation flashpoint?17:12
Pernigoriginal one17:12
Pernigflawed but amazing all the same17:12
jacobwhmm, i'm enjoying FPS games less and less since Call Of Duty became popular :|17:13
Pernigi actually liked 217:13
jacobwdragon rising17:13
Pernigbetter than arma2 thanks to the ego engine i think17:13
* hamitron liked original UT17:13
hamitron;)17:13
jacobwCounter Strike: Source was the peak of FPS games in my opinion17:13
Pernigego has impressive physics, not a lot comes close17:13
hamitronbut somehow, shooting with mouse is just not right :/17:13
hamitronI like cs:s too17:14
hamitron:)17:14
jacobwI hate perks and all that nonsense17:14
gingshooting with a mouse not right?17:14
gingwould you prefer a wii controller?17:15
gord... i don't know how i came to be watching black lace - agadoo on youtube... but well. here i am17:15
hamitronging: I just don't compare it to shooting irl17:15
jacobwfirst step is acceptance :P17:15
Pernigmy step dad has one of those gun grip controllers17:15
Pernigcost him an arm and a leg17:16
ginghamitron: yeah but getting shot and respawning is a lot better than in real life17:16
hamitronI just go shooting in the garden tbh17:16
hamitronnot battle style ofc17:16
hamitron;/17:16
Pernigjust the neighbours' cats17:16

hamitronwtf is that?17:17
hamitron:D17:17
gordits a gun controller for the playstation move thing, its fun, but i keep it out of sight of anyone that comes to my house :)17:18
hamitronwhen I was a kid, always wanted a kit of lasor guns17:19
hamitronbut most people are too lazy to actually move off a sofa17:19
hamitron:/17:19
Pernignovint falcon is the thing that my step dad has17:19
Pernigit's a strange looking thing17:19
Pernigi just have a cheap wii gun grip17:20
hamitronI got a "gun" for the NES and Duck Hunt ;)17:20

ali1234oh i see, the mythbackend ip address changed for no reason18:56
Pernighi diplo18:57
ali1234why speedtouch routers have to have a useless dhcp server?18:57
gordi used a speedtouch <thing> once, i never ever went near one again18:59
ali1234i need to pull out the old netgear i used to use before demon broke my connection18:59
Pernigdemon are still going?!19:00
hamitronali1234: demon fixed my connection this week btw19:00
ali1234Pernig: not really no19:00
hamitron4 months of problems, and it all works now19:00
hamitron:)19:00
ali1234they have no UK employees except in sales afaik19:01
Pernigi think that's most ISPs in the UK haha19:01
hamitrontheir internet is still pretty good tbh19:01
hamitronI get a lot lower pings than most my friends19:02
* Pernig 's ping is scuppered by being 25m+ away from the router :(19:03
hamitronI get about 28ms on pingtest19:03
hamitron:)19:03
Pernig38 to google's dns server19:03
Pernigi can live with that19:03
hamitronyeh, that is fine19:04
gordpingtest isn't reeeeeally a good test is it?19:04
gordmore really a measure of who is closest to their server19:04
Pernigi guess19:04
Pernigbut it helps if you have a low ping for the services you use most19:04
hamitronwell, I get lower pings than my friends ;/19:04
gordare your friends further away? ;)19:04
hamitronto everything in general i mean19:04
Pernigi remember when i was on blueyonder, playing counter strike etc was a dream on their own servers19:05
hamitronlike my ping to american servers is 30ms faster19:05
hamitronmy main complaint about demon is the monkey's on the front line of the support desk, and the slightly over priced packages19:06
Pernig24 month contract19:06
Pernig:\19:06
Pernigand i'm guessing i would still have to pay line rental to BT19:06
hamitronI've been with them for 14 years19:06
hamitron:)19:06
Pernigi was with them in the 90s19:07
Pernigaround 95-9819:07
hamitronyou can either have a phone line with BT, or with Cable & Wireless19:07
hamitronC&W is a better internet package for less money19:07
Pernigi can't have cable where i am19:07
hamitronnot cable19:08
hamitronjust C&W telephone line19:08
Pernigand does this run through the physical BT telephone line?19:08
hamitronif C&W are in your exchange, they can use the BT line I believe19:08
hamitronbut I am with BT19:08
hamitron:/19:08
Pernigi doubt they are19:09
Pernigwe have no kind of LLU here19:09
Pernigit's BT or nothing19:09
hamitronwe have talk talk19:09
hamitron:/19:09
Pernigobviously you can have other providers apart from BT, but it's just BT wholesale19:09
hamitronaye19:09
hamitronI refuse to use talktalk19:10
hamitronso kinda the same for me19:10
hamitronI believe sky are maybe moving into my area19:10
hamitronbut their prices are only really good if get sky tv too imo19:10
* Pernig agrees19:11
hamitronplus we have a business line19:11
hamitronand I'm not sure how it works19:11
hamitronunless something really good appears, sticking with BT for now19:11

hamitron_I broke it19:16
hamitron_;)19:16
* hamitron_ notes to not play with a vpn and its settings while talking about how pleased he is with his ISP19:17
=== hamitron_ is now known as hamitron
hamitronanyone know a good service for downloading stuff and burning files to dvd, for them to mail it to you?19:19
hamitroncheap ofc19:20
penguin42amazon do that don't they on their cloud?19:20
hamitrondunno19:20
slvrif it's linuix discs you're worried about then they're plenty19:20
hamitronabout half is probably linux stuff19:21
ball> half19:22
slvr(linux distros usually have mail-order discs if that's what you're looking for, though I suppose I'm not exactly answering the question)19:27
hamitronit would be better than nothing for sure19:27
hamitronbut a VPS with a dvd writer would be nice19:28
popeyhow much are you wanting to pay?19:28
hamitronas little as possible19:28
popeyand how many DVDs worth?19:28
hamitron;)19:28
hamitrondepends on cost tbh19:28
hamitronI can't even find anywhere that offers this19:29
hamitronmy google skills suck19:29
hamitron:/19:29
hamitronno more than 40Gb19:30
popeyI'd do it for you, I have a chunky net connection and multiple burners, but I expect you will want to pay less than cost price of the DVD19:30
Pernigit seems an odd request19:30
hamitronpopey: I was looking for some automated sorta thing19:31
hamitronmaybe I'm just looking for something that doesn't exist19:31
TheOpenSourcererpopey: is a machine hamitron19:31
Pernigit would be interesting if there were such a software19:31
hamitronhaha19:31
Pernigpersonally i'd bang it on an external hard drive, with them being so cheap19:32
ballI need to buy another of those.19:32
popeyevening TheOpenSourcerer19:32
hamitronI'm thinking, for downloads, so the ISP download limit is not restricting19:32
hamitronand it would also mean no slow internet from downloading19:33
popeyhamitron: in low volume its likely to be quite expensive19:33
popeymost of the cd duplication services work on high volumes19:33
popeygoogling for cd duplication service will probably turn up some options19:34
hamitronso it is19:34

MartijnVdSPernig: did some "Modern Warfare" download pack come out?19:41
Pernigum19:41
Pernigquite possibly! haha19:42
hamitronI think if I just buy linux dvd, the rest can be downloaded without much worry19:52

Laneyhow is arch the logical rolling release to choose for former ubuntu users?20:08
Laneydebian :-)20:08
hamitrondebian does work20:08
hamitron:)20:08
hamitronI thought centos did too, with i386 in the iso names20:09
PernigLaney: it's not as involved as slackware20:09
hamitron7 cd iso downloads later, and find it won't20:09
* jacobw is also a fan of Debian20:10
hamitronI enjoyed my years on slackware, just not sure I can be bothered now20:10

hamitronand slackware is kinda modern for my tastes20:11
jacobwAhem, modern?20:11
hamitron2.6.37 kernel....20:12
hamitronin fact, most the stuff is current at release20:12

Azelphuranyone here got a galaxy s2?20:13
Azelphurcan you usb mount the internal storage? or do you have to get an SD card to put music and stuff on it20:13
PernigAzelphur: i think you would be better using external storage20:15
Azelphur*shrug* it has like 12GB of internal20:15
Pernigi'm not sure then20:15
Pernigbut20:15
Perniglet me ask someone who has one20:15
Pernigi was under the impression internal memory was for installing apps etc20:16
Azelphuryea that's what I'm thinking20:17
jacobwThe Nexus S has 16GB of internal20:17

AzelphurI see20:20
nperryHowever on the android the internal is classed as the 'sdcard' under astro20:20

hamitron:D20:32
jacobwah i see20:32

jacobwthere there20:55
webpigeonAzelphur, r u k? :P *hides*20:56
hamitronxr112: iirc, you need to install the AMD/ATI SDK if using some Radeon card20:56
hamitronthen just install the miner20:56
xr112im using Nvidia card20:56
hamitronthen imo, it is silly bitcoin mining20:56
hamitron:D20:57
Azelphur^20:57
Azelphurnvidia + bitcoin = you are now spending more on electricity than you are earning20:57
xr112yh I guess but I only found out about it today, jst wanted to see what it was all about20:57
hamitronwell, it would be cheaper to buy some bitcoins20:57
hamitron:/20:57
xr112Yh, they seem to be going up in value20:58
hamitronnot recently20:58
webpigeonone day, it will become too expenstive to calcuate the hashes, on this date botnet owers are the only people who will be doing it20:58
jacobwthey're decreasing in value20:58
jacobwits a deflationary currency20:59
hamitronbut I know my Geforce GTS450 makes about 0.02 coins per day20:59
hamitronjacobw: technically they should increase over time20:59
jacobw50 days/bitcoin20:59
webpigeonhamitron, i'm assuming that's on average20:59
hamitronbut the current price is overly inflated :/20:59
hamitronwebpigeon: the botnet arguement is not something I have considered21:00
hamitron:)21:00
hamitroninteresting idea tbh21:00
xr112but surely the harder they become to calcuate, the more valuable there become?21:00
webpigeonxr112, not really, when it costs more to get them then they are worth there is no incentive21:01
hamitronxr112: maybe, if they are worth less than they cost to make, a lot of people stop mining and the difficulty can decrease also21:01
xr112yh I guess so21:02
hamitronthere are ofc different ways to look at it21:02
webpigeonhamitron, are you sure? I thought the difficaulty only increased21:02
hamitron:)21:02
hamitronwebpigeon: no, it can go down too21:02
hamitronin fact, last time it did21:02
hamitronI'm guessing, because a lot of nvidia users stopped mining21:03
webpigeonthat makes 4 possible attack vectors then :P21:03

jacobwquantum computing will blow bitcoin mining out of the water :P21:04
hamitronso it now takes about 10 hours to move the namecoins, rather than 121:04
hamitron:/21:04
webpigeonjacobw, where i heard that they didn't decrease in difficaulty but fabsh is known to be wrong on occation :P21:04

brobostigonok, is ubuntu, amazing is debian unstable.21:20
brobostigoneek,. sporry.21:20
brobostigon:(21:20
webpigeonhamitron, i'm on fedora, hence the 1521:20
brobostigonwoops.21:20
webpigeonheyoo brobostigon21:21
brobostigonhelo webpigeon21:21
hamitrontbh, I liked fedora when i tried it21:21
hamitronfelt snappy21:21
webpigeonI like the OS, i perfer the ubuntu people21:21
ali12341also, why do people use empathy and then use some terminal app for irc?21:21
Pernigi had to do too many workarounds with fedora21:21
webpigeonali12341, because empathy is pretty bad for irc?21:22
Pernigali12341: empathy isn't very feature rich, especially for irc21:22
jacobwscreen?21:22
ali12341considering that IRC and IM are exactly the same thing, that means empathy is pretty bad at it's main feature21:22
brobostigonali12341: atm, irssi + bitlbee, is mostly perfect.21:22
Pernigi actually got on with empathy very well21:22
Pernigkeeping it simple worked well for me21:23
ali12341brobostigon: exactly. if you like using the terminal so much, why don't you use bitlbee for everything?21:23
ali12341otoh, if you like empathy except for the irc client, why don't you just use pidgin?21:23
ali12341empathy basically pleases no one21:23
ali12341well, perhaps people who do not use irc21:23
brobostigonali12341: it cant do everything, issue 1. really,, unless you use a plugin for pidgin's backend.21:24
Pernigif it had more features i think it would be about bang on21:24
hamitronI like pidgin21:24
hamitron:)21:24
ali12341if empathy had more features you means?21:24
webpigeonali12341, I like empathy, i just don't think that you can use the same kind of design for group chat that you do with 1:1 chat21:24
ali12341you can21:24
ali12341this is obvious21:24
Pernigali12341: yes21:24
ali12341webpigeon: what it actually means is that group chat exposes the flaws in empathy's UI design21:25
webpigeonokay, I'll rephrase, *I* don't think *I* can use the same kind of design for the two21:25
ali12341they are still flaws even when you are in 1:1 chat though21:25
ali12341they are just slightly less annoying21:25
Pernigi kind of wish i could have irc in kopete21:25
webpigeonali12341, I'm okay with the 1:1 chat design, for me it works with empathy and the things which telepathy enables are worth it21:25
ali12341for example, putting everything everyone types in a huge speech bubble grahic totally sucks when you are on #ubuntu and it is scrolling at 100 lines per minute21:25
ali12341but that sucks just as much in 1:121:25
brobostigonali12341: no, but pidgins backends adds more prtotcols to bitlbee, but makes it massivly more heavier.21:26
webpigeonI've never had an issue with that...21:26
* hamitron looks at ali12341's lines per min21:26
hamitron;)21:26
ali12341the main thing i don't like with emapthy is the way it renders text21:26
brobostigoni do like thoguh, how empathy integreates with gnome-shell.21:27
ali12341like so many poor html renderers, pretty much any two lines will have a different height21:27
webpigeondoesn't it use the gnome font rendering stack? :/21:27
webpigeonbrobostigon++21:27
brobostigonthat is when, empathy decides to behave, :)21:28
hamitrontbh, empathy just confused me21:28
hamitronso went to xchat21:28
hamitron;/21:28
ali12341well i like how pidgin integrates with unity21:28
webpigeonI use xchat for irc, hamitron21:28
brobostigonhamitron: empathy for IM, and xchat for irc, you cant compare, they are totally differentthingd.21:29
ali12341xchat is ugly21:29
brobostigonand how can xchat do IM, without bitlbee, or similer?21:29
hamitrontbh, comp programs really turn me on ;/21:29
ali12341less ugly than empathy, but still ugly21:29
Pernigi didn't think about xchat when i switched desktop env21:29
webpigeonali12341, programs are like people - it's not all about the looks21:29
hamitronno comp*21:29
Pernigmight give that a go21:29
hamitroneek21:29
Pernigusing konversation, it seems alright21:30
hamitronI use pidgin for IM21:30
hamitronno questions asked21:30
hamitron:)21:30
ali12341pretty much all an IM client has to do is receive messages and present them on the screen21:30
ali12341and provide a way to reply21:30
webpigeonali12341, video confrencing integration is nice to21:31
hamitronvideo? :|21:31
webpigeon1:1 that is21:31
ali12341there is no great distinction between IM, IRC, and twitter21:31
Perniga lot of my friends used to Windows miss the features of MSN21:31
ali12341they all work exactly the same21:31
Pernignot that i condone MSN21:31
PernigWLM whatever they call it now21:31
webpigeonhamitron, indeed, empathy supports webcam features21:31
Pernigwhat an ugly piece of software21:31
ali12341and video conferencing never works anyway21:31
hamitronI got a 360kbit connection here, not tried21:31
hamitron;)21:31
ali12341i have a phone for making phone calls. it support voip21:32
ali12341like i said yesterday, i do not like talking to computer21:32
webpigeonIf i phoned everyone i talked to i would have massive international call charges :P21:32
Pernigi have one friend in particular who goes mad when he can't send me files over the MSN protocol21:32
ali12341unless you used voip21:32
Pernignot that i would ever get them, coming in at 5KB/s :P21:32
webpigeonPernig, i've heard of this really cool thing, it's called email :P21:33
gordkinda sucks that its 2011 and there is still not a good, well accepted way of transfering files from one person to another that works everywhere21:33
Pernigwebpigeon: exactly!21:33
jacobwUpload to a web server :|21:33
hamitronor dropbox21:33
hamitronor google docs21:33
webpigeonor bittorrent :P21:33
hamitrontorrents are hard21:34
hamitron:/21:34
ali12341NO21:34
Pernigi think torrents are in their infancy still21:34
ali12341only MSN file transfer is broken21:34
Pernigthere is so much that could be done with torrents that hasn't been done yet21:34
ali12341because microsoft deliberately broke it for third party clients21:34
ali12341file transfer over other protocols works21:34
Pernigali12341: they do that a lot21:34
webpigeonali12341, if you follow the TOS correctly, there shouldn't be any 3rd party clients21:34
hamitronMS can get away with it, all the users who choose to use MSN are on MS Windows21:35
hamitron:/21:35
ali12341i don't know anyone who still uses MSN anyway, so i don't care21:35
Pernigthis is one _good_ thing about Facebook21:35
* hamitron spanks Pernig 21:35
Perniga lot more users are using FB chat rather than MSN now21:35
hamitronthere is nothing good from that _thing_21:35
webpigeonnow if we're looking for messaging systems which are a mess, facebook wins21:35
ali12341yes, the one and only good thing about facebook is it keeps all those people off the rest of the internet21:35
Pernigand while it might be a horrible in browser thing for them21:35
jacobwi don't know anyone who uses MSN :|21:35
hamitronali12341: haha, like that21:36
Pernigit's simple XMPP which works nicely for us! :P21:36
Pernigjacobw: it was kind of the defacto standard as i was growing up21:36
jacobwyou still have to have a facebook account to use it21:36
ali12341i'm getting really tired of hearing about "what google needs to do to attract facebook users"21:36
webpigeonPernig, kind of, the only problem is sometimes it's an IM and sometimes it's... not :/21:36
webpigeonali12341, what it needs to do is put them in a bit hole and leave them there21:37
jacobwPernig: same for me, but i never got in to using it, and people i know who used to use it don't use it anymore21:37
hamitrongoogle needs to slow down and get things right on launch for a cahnge :/21:37
hamitronchange*21:37
jacobwPernig: they all use facebook now, which i've also never gotten in to using21:37
ali12341they should make google- and just let people spam it up with games and pokes and stuff21:37
ali12341and keep it as far away from + as possible21:37
hamitronhaha21:37
jacobwhehe21:37
Perniglol google-21:37
Pernigi love it!21:37
jacobwi'm undecided on whether to accept an invite to google+21:38
hamitroncan't we have google+ for the crap, and google- for proper people?21:38
webpigeonIf i see one more, "repost this or [thing]" in my news feed things are going to explode :/21:38
Pernigjacobw: it's worth a punt21:38
jacobwi have no use for it :| other than as some sort of linkedin emulator21:38
jacobwnot that i have a linkedin profile21:38
Pernigdon't you have to pay for linkedin?21:38
hamitronI signed up to google+ and just don't get it tbh21:38
webpigeonPernig, only 90% of the features...21:39
Perniganyone in Lincolnshire here?21:39
ali12341g+ is more like twitter without the character limit than it is like facebook21:40
Pernigtwitter, something i never did try21:40
hamitronPernig: I'm near Hull21:40
ali12341pidgin has a plugin which makes twitter exactly the same as irc21:40
hamitronhaha21:41
Pernighamitron: are you in any LUGs?21:41
hamitronimagine how big the twit page will be if this was it :)21:41
hamitronPernig: no21:41
webpigeonali12341, there is an irc/jabber server which does that to...21:41
Pernigwe are looking to reinvigorate ours at the moment, but it's in Lincoln, maybe a bit far for you21:42
Pernigthere is a Hull LUG though21:42
hamitronHull is a little too far tbh21:42
hamitronI'm North of Hull21:42
Pernigah21:42
PernigHull isn't nice anyway, haha21:43
hamitronI like Hull tbh21:43
hamitron:D21:43
Pernignot been for a while21:43
hamitronit has gone down lately tbh21:43
Pernigi like the Deep :P21:43
hamitronI found it.... too much for kiddies21:44
hamitron:/21:44
hamitronand they had the Union Jack upside down21:44
hamitron:(21:44
Pernigis that the time?21:44
Pernigunproductive evening :(21:45
hamitron:/21:45
hamitrona weekend21:45
webpigeonhamitron, are they in distress?21:45
hamitronwe can be forgiven21:45
Pernigaye21:45
Pernigi have a busy week next week21:45
Pernignew job21:45
hamitron:/21:45
hamitronwebpigeon: shouldn't be, the fee they get for people entering21:45
Pernigi think it's a bit like the bridge21:46
Pernigit cost so much money, and now they have to pay for it21:46
Pernig:P21:46
hamitronmain problem with the bridge, it goes nowhere21:46
hamitron;)21:46
Pernigat least the A18 beneath it avoids the monstrosities that are Immingham and Grimsby21:47
hamitronyou start in Hull of all places, then end up at a Marshland, with the main attraction been Grimsby :/21:47
hamitronyeh21:47
hamitronhaha21:47
hamitronbut I'd just go via Selby21:48
hamitron;/21:48
jacobwi had to go to immingham this week :(21:48
Pernignice roads that way21:48
* jacobw lives in Leeds21:49
Pernigyou come out of Goole and it's like BAM21:49
* hamitron comforts jacobw 21:49
Pernigthere's this completely empty road21:49
hamitronI think the country ends at Hull on the maps, and the East Riding does not exist on paper21:50
hamitronnobody comes21:50
hamitron:D21:50
Pernigkind of similar where i am21:51
hamitronyeh, apart from you are from the South21:51
hamitron:)21:51
jacobwi was in scotter in lincolnshire also this week21:52
jacobwconfirms my suspicion that there's nothing in lincolnshire21:52
funkyHatI didn't even know Hull was on the map ;)21:52
hamitronhaha funkyHat21:52
jacobwhull/hell21:52
hamitronofc it is, it the hole you try to never come to21:53
hamitronif you get there, it all ends21:53
PernigScotter is only just Lincolnshire haha21:53
hamitron:/21:53
Pernigit's a big old county21:53
=== ali12341 is now known as ali1234
Pernigwe are struggling to organise the LUG because it's so big and so sparsely populated21:53
hamitronit is hard in rural areas21:54
hamitron:/21:54
hamitronI keep thinking my area could do with one21:54
hamitronbut based on IRC more, with less regular meetings21:54
* Laney was in the east riding last week21:55
hamitronLaney: enjoy? ;/21:55
Laneyyeah i quite like it21:55
jacobwthe countryside is nice21:55
Pernigme too21:55
hamitronyeh, it is nice tbh21:55
Pernigi love riding through it21:55
hamitronbut not great for stuff like LUG21:56
Laneybiked from near beverley to brid21:56
Laneyvia driffield :(21:56
hamitronI do that 5 or 6 times per week :/21:56
hamitronLaney: why the unhappy face21:57
hamitron:/21:57
Laneydidn't seem like the nicest of towns21:58
hamitronit isn't21:58
hamitronhaha21:58
Laneythey should pedestrianise that main street21:58
Laneywell, make it motor traffic free21:58
hamitronit would be tough to direct traffic then though21:59
hamitron:/21:59
hamitronit has gone downhill since the cattlemarket was closed21:59
hamitronI try avoid it22:00
Laneyhttp://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100153190453898.2589628.199700154&l=1d1f3f563c&type=122:01
Pernigi'm not sure i'd cope with drop bars22:02
Pernigthe flat drag bars i have annoy me enough22:02
funkyHatdrop bars are awesome22:02
hamitronLaney: oh, you used the new cycle route22:02
hamitron:/22:02
funkyHatEspecially with newer brake levers. About a million different places you can hold them22:02
PernigLaney: how small does your tent pack down?22:02
Pernigisn't that the one that the scouts use?22:02
Pernigthe type should i say22:03
Laneyit's a pretty old ridge tent22:03
Laneypoles went inside the rollmat and the canvas went small into a pannier22:03
Pernigso you manage ok with it on the pushbike?22:03
hamitronI love Hole of Horcum22:03
hamitrontry go once a month22:03
Laneydeffo22:04
Pernigi might take a look at one for the motorbike, i considered them but was under the impression they were massive when folded down22:04
Laneythe A road at the hole is mental22:04
hamitronyeh22:04
hamitron:)22:04
hamitronbut the walks into and around the hole are worth it22:04
hamitronthat round-a-bout at pickering I find the worst :/22:05
Laneywe went up at thornton22:05

Azelphurfun23:10
Azelphurguess ill try magic reisub :p23:10
Pernignot to jump to conclusions, but if it does prove to be that, it might be that there's a loose SATA connector or something23:10
Pernigthey're not the most robust of connectors23:10
Azelphurhehe23:10
ballPernig: They're horrid cheap little things.23:11
