| LinuxMobile | Ball, you mentioned me, thought you would like to chat? | 02:48 |
| LinuxMobile | Confused about bacon? Lol | 02:48 |
| ball | I was confused by the "drunk and cycle" | 02:48 |
| ball | no idea what that's all about. | 02:48 |

| LinuxMobile | Drunk and awake :-) | 02:48 |
| ball | Well ride carefully then, I don't want you falling in a ditch. | 02:50 |
| LinuxMobile | I thought IRC was for chat? | 02:50 |
| ball | IRC is for community. | 02:51 |
| ball | ...and the occasional fight, depending on the channel in question. | 02:51 |
| LinuxMobile | Oh. I dont want to fight? | 02:52 |

| AlanBell | LinuxMobile: hi | 08:45 |
| AlanBell | morning all | 08:45 |
| popey | Morning | 09:10 |
| AlanBell | what exciting saturdayish things are you all up to today then? | 09:18 |
| AlanBell | and who wants to do the December Happy Hour? | 09:18 |
| AlanBell | where "do" consists of picking a date and a pub and turning up | 09:19 |
| gordonjcp | AlanBell: well I'm getting confused by apache's apparent inability to follow LANG settings | 09:21 |
| gordonjcp | having some really good coffee | 09:21 |
| gordonjcp | and planning on cycling over to the shops in a few minutes | 09:21 |
| kirrus | AlanBell: Looking at the support queue and trying to put off getting to work a few more minutes | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | anyone here good at apache and locales? | 09:24 |
| popey | Open day at the kids school | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | http://www.gjcp.net/smash/ <- I wrote this but it occasionally falls on its backside because it tries to format the currency with the locale set to "C" | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | I suspect a race condition somewhere in apache or mod_python | 09:25 |

| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 10:25 |
| sagaci | morning, brobostigon | 10:28 |
| brobostigon | morning sagaci | 10:29 |
| kirrus | morning :) | 10:29 |
| AlphaChallenor | Moring | 10:30 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 10:32 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: sort out your chicken issue | 10:32 |
| jacobw | morning | 10:41 |
| Laney | today is the day of my first foray into home brewing | 10:58 |
| brobostigon | yummy Laney, good luck, :) | 10:59 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: yes | 11:07 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: coolio as I know someone who was going to help | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: last I saw, he was alive and in a box | 11:10 |
| czajkowski | cool | 11:11 |
| florent_ | Hello | 11:12 |
| danfish | AlanBell: December Happy Hour me want do | 12:36 |
| danfish | Laney: what 'degree' of brewing? Kit/full mash/malt extract? | 12:36 |
| shauno | it has to be beer? I prefer to brew mead. easy & nommy | 13:51 |
| danfish | shauno: personally, I prefer to brew cider. Best batch I made I left brewing in a shed for 6 months. Froze solid twice, but just made it better :) | 14:09 |
| shauno | I can't touch cider. makes my stomach turn. but I do believe it's more associative memory, than the drink itself | 14:10 |
| danfish | did have a batch that went sour, but made apple brandy from it with a B&Q paint stripper steamer | 14:10 |
| danfish | my vision returned after a week or so of drinking that brandy ;) | 14:11 |
| shauno | wine doesn't seem to sit well with me either, so a dry mead is the closest I can get without rocking the boat | 14:11 |
| danfish | shauno: never tried mead. Maybe one for xmas | 14:15 |
| danfish | shauno: got a recipe/link? | 14:16 |
| jacobw | http://thekittencovers.tumblr.com/ | 14:17 |
| shauno | danfish, http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/joes-ancient-orange-mead-49106/ is about the most bullet-proof starter I've found. after that, I just experiment | 14:18 |
| danfish | shauno: tx | 14:21 |
| shauno | the only way I've ever found to go really wrong, is to use frozen fruit from supermarkets :( | 14:22 |
| shauno | I ended up breeding some very interesting purple fluff that way | 14:22 |
| danfish | heh - frozen oranges? | 14:23 |
| shauno | I was trying blackberries. from a farmer's market, it works really well | 14:23 |
| shauno | but if you freeze them and add them frozen, it destroys all the cell walls so they juice nicely | 14:24 |
| shauno | trying to cheat and let tesco freeze them for me .. well it still worked. just the large clumps of floating fluff didn't help the presentation | 14:24 |
| danfish | quite. | 14:24 |
| danfish | we have a number of damson trees in the garden - trying damson wine for the first time | 14:25 |
| shauno | I think it was daubers that was beekeeping this summer? if you really wanted to overachieve, that'd be fun ;) | 14:26 |
| danfish | I think he went on the River Cottage course. Fish family hols booked for that part of the world :) | 14:28 |
| daubers | danfish: Who's on a river cottage course? | 14:46 |
| * daubers did their beekeeping course | 14:46 | |
| Pendulum | daubers: someone asked about you and beekeeping | 14:47 |
| daubers | ooooh | 14:48 |
| danfish | daubers: that's what I thought. | 14:48 |
| daubers | The beekeeping thing was aces | 14:48 |
| * MartijnVdS feels dirty | 14:48 | |
| daubers | http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattdaubney/5796344889/in/photostream | 14:48 |
| MartijnVdS | the first Stackoverflow question I've ever anwered is a Mysql question | 14:48 |
| daubers | ^ beekeeping \o/ | 14:49 |
| MartijnVdS | daubers: is that like cat-herding? | 14:49 |
| * danfish is hoping to relocate to west dorzet/east devon next year | 14:51 | |
| danfish | MartijnVdS: it could be worse ..... COBOL | 14:57 |
| mattt | herro | 17:02 |
| bigcalm | Afternoon peeps | 17:03 |
| mattt | howzit bigcalm? | 17:05 |
| bigcalm | Little tired, little cold, little bored | 17:05 |
| bigcalm | Laptop on the sofa | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | bigcalm: Turn the heating up, put the tv on, fall asleep - fixes it all | 17:06 |
| bigcalm | Heating is on, enjoying the quiet without the telly though | 17:07 |
| bigcalm | I do like how peaceful our area is | 17:07 |
| bigcalm | Sod it. Going to install xubuntu-desktop on the laptop | 17:10 |
| brobostigon | only thing missing is a beer. | 17:11 |
| bigcalm | Might I recommend Innis & Gunn? | 17:13 |
| brobostigon | i am have not heard of. | 17:13 |
| brobostigon | i have not heard off. | 17:13 |
| brobostigon | of* | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Try the Rum Cask one, it's yumy | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | yummy | 17:13 |
| brobostigon | ah, ok. | 17:14 |
| * mattt is watching heineken cup | 17:16 | |
| popey | Evening all. | 18:14 |
| MartijnVdS | \o popey | 18:14 |
| Lcawte | Evening | 18:16 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 18:19 |
| DJones | popey: What was that alternative to gwibber you mentioned the other day | 18:25 |
| popey | polly | 18:26 |
| DJones | Thanks | 18:26 |
| popey | https://launchpad.net/polly | 18:26 |
| popey | its _brilliant_ | 18:26 |
| popey | i have had it running for days on my desktop, its quick, lean and does the job | 18:26 |
| DJones | gwibber seems to have died on me, will give it a try | 18:26 |
| MartijnVdS | does it speak g+? | 18:27 |
| mattt | can't log into msn w/ bitlbee any more :( | 18:31 |
| MartijnVdS | they changed their protocol again? | 18:32 |
| mattt | appears to be | 18:33 |
| brobostigon | empathy seems to work. | 18:33 |
| brobostigon | conencting to msn. | 18:33 |
| AlanBell | popey: there is a bleeding edge version using the streaming API too | 18:34 |
| AlanBell | generally polly is what I would have made circleoffriends into if I hadn't run out of time and ability :) | 18:35 |
| bigcalm | Do we trust Steam any more? | 18:35 |
| AlanBell | circleoffriends will turn into a dedicated twitter wall client if I get back to it | 18:36 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| DJones | polly certainly is fast | 18:47 |
| Azelphur | Does anyone know of a tool to "merge" two filesystems. For example I have 2 hard drives full of movies, I don't want to have to look through each one individually. | 18:48 |
| AlanBell | rsync probably Azelphur | 18:50 |
| Azelphur | rsync works great if you can actually fit all the data onto one drive | 18:50 |
| Azelphur | I just want to browse it as if it was one drive, rather than it actually be one drive | 18:50 |
| gordonjcp | some hoopy aufs magic? | 18:51 |
| gordonjcp | some kind of media server? | 18:51 |
| gordonjcp | grr, bloody useless firefox | 18:52 |
| gordonjcp | what's the best way to replace ubuntu firefox with a not-fiddled-with version? | 18:52 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: You could start by removing xul-ext-ubufox and see if that's enough for you | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | penguin42: really whatever has been done that stops it saving settings | 18:53 |
| Azelphur | *shrug* media server works | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | Azelphur: minidlna then? | 18:53 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: Hmm I think it saves them for me | 18:53 |
| Azelphur | oO, dlna would be fun then I could watch things on my phone | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | penguin42: can you check if it saves middlemouse.contentLoadURL ? | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | because on mine it keeps forgetting that | 18:55 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: What is that? | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | the thing that lets you middle-click to go to the last selected url | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | ie. select a url from some text, middle-click in a browser window to load in the current tab | 18:56 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: Hmm never knew about tht | 18:56 |
| penguin42 | a | 18:56 |
| gordonjcp | it's what I use about 75% of the time I load a URL that's www.google.co.uk | 18:56 |
| gordonjcp | that's *not | 18:56 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: Hmm curious, no it doesn't | 18:58 |
| AlanBell | smoke alarm has gone off, dinner must be ready | 18:58 |
| MartijnVdS | Roast chicken? | 19:00 |
| gordonjcp | penguin42: disabling the Ubuntu extensions *does* fix it | 19:01 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: I suggest filing a bug against it then | 19:02 |
| gordonjcp | there are many bugs filed against it | 19:03 |
| gordonjcp | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/794716 | 19:03 |
| lubotu3` | Ubuntu bug 794716 in firefox (Ubuntu) "middlemouse.contentLoadURL resets to false" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 19:03 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: You say there are many, it would be best to get them all duped into one | 19:04 |
| gordonjcp | well that one I just posted a link to describes the *real* problem | 19:05 |
| gordonjcp | the ubuntu-mods.js file deliberately resets it back to false on every load | 19:05 |
| gordonjcp | which I guess is in keeping with Ubuntu's closed and dictatorial Apple-like nature | 19:06 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: Chris Coulson's comment (#6) seems to suggest it's a bug in the way ff copes with extensions that change default behaviours - and I think he normally knows whats going on | 19:06 |
| gordonjcp | penguin42: no, because by commenting out that line and re-enabling the extension I can leave it set any way I want | 19:09 |
| penguin42 | gordonjcp: I don't know enough about the innards of ff to know | 19:09 |
| ali1234 | yes, because that is only supposed to change the default value of the setting | 19:10 |
| shauno | I didn't realise linux doesn't do union mounts (natively). funky | 19:10 |
| ali1234 | here is the upstrem mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467766 | 19:13 |
| lubotu3` | Mozilla bug 467766 in Preferences: Backend "user settings for pref keys with defaults in extension get reset on upgrade" [Normal,Assigned: ] | 19:13 |
| AlanBell | why would we turn off a useful feature? | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | the bug is that it keeps turning off, I get that, but why are we defaulting to off? | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | danfish: happy hour! | 19:23 |
| AlanBell | so where were you thinking? | 19:24 |
| popey | AlanBell: yeah, thats the version of polly I am using | 19:26 |
| * AlanBell will upgrade to that shortly | 19:26 | |

| AlanBell | danfish: surbiton area? | 20:33 |
| danfish | AlanBell: happy to arrange | 20:58 |
| AlanBell | great | 20:58 |
| AlanBell | early december on a day you can make it, at a wheelchair accessible pub | 20:59 |
| danfish | I will research next week :) | 21:00 |
| danfish | Surbiton is a weirdly well connected place | 21:00 |
| AlanBell | yup | 21:01 |
| AlanBell | and I don't mind the tour returning to London at it isn't central London | 21:02 |
| AlanBell | danfish: can you pick a date? | 21:04 |
| AlanBell | I can announce surbiton and the date now, and firm up the pub later | 21:04 |
| danfish | AlanBell: sure - give me 24hrs - 'she that must be obeyed' is out tonight, but I'll buzz you tomorrow | 21:05 |
| AlanBell | great | 21:06 |

| DJones | bigcalm: This is one I use (Assuming your help relates to your twitter question) http://www.pensense.co.uk/shop/sheaffer-green-ink-2.html | 21:17 |
| bigcalm | DJones: ta | 21:19 |
| DJones | Its a while since I bought any though, the bottle has changed so the ink could have changed | 21:20 |
| DJones | The one I;ve got is an Emerald green | 21:21 |
| bigcalm | I have a Sheaffer purple, will be a year + before it's drained | 21:21 |
| bigcalm | Who made your pen? | 21:22 |
| DJones | I've got a mixture, Parker, Shaeffer & Cross | 21:23 |
| bigcalm | Oh, ok :) | 21:23 |
| bigcalm | I have a Cross pen | 21:23 |
| bigcalm | Looking for a new one to go with a green ink | 21:23 |
| DJones | I've had my cross one for about 25 years | 21:23 |
| mattt | czajkowski: epic munster game today! | 21:24 |
| DJones | bigcalm: Probably similar to this one http://goo.gl/Xlfla | 21:29 |
| bigcalm | Very nice | 21:30 |
| bigcalm | Bit out of my price range though :) | 21:31 |
| DJones | Heh, I bought mine in Singapore sort as a 21st birthday present to myself out of money I'd been left after my grandfather died | 21:33 |
| bigcalm | I think I spent about 80 quid on my cross | 21:33 |
| DJones | I paid $155 back then, not sure what that would work out now | 21:35 |
| mattt | 800 on a pen? :/ | 21:35 |
| mattt | oh, 80 ... phew. | 21:35 |
| popey | oooo youtube have given me a 'more than 15 min upload' account now | 21:53 |
| * popey ponders what to upload | 21:53 | |
| AlanBell | 1 hour of looped extreme ironing | 21:54 |
| popey | hah | 21:54 |
| zleap | flash | 22:52 |
| DJones | Anybody with an old 1st generation iPod Nano? http://mashable.com/2011/11/12/ipd-nano-recall/ Maybe a chance of getting it replaced with a new one | 23:17 |
| LSymonds | DJones: Saw that earlier, shame I don't have one :p | 23:23 |
| DJones | Might be nice if somebody has an old broken one though, shiny new replacement :) | 23:29 |
| LSymonds | Would need to be working though, I guess. | 23:33 |
| penguin42 | bah, that's a pity, it's the newer one with out the display I've got | 23:34 |
