| Guest47021 | anyone here working towards a technical degree? | 10:08 |
| Guest47021 | or has one ? | 10:08 |
| === Guest47021 is now known as ghostwiz | ||
| czajkowski | aloha | 10:16 |
| brobostigon | morning czajkowski | 10:17 |
| oimon | ghostwiz_: what do u mean by techniacl degree? | 10:18 |
| ghostwiz_ | like EE, CS | 10:25 |
| oimon | i have maths+CS | 10:25 |
| ghostwiz_ | something to do with technology or engineering | 10:25 |
| ghostwiz_ | Well to employer decided to employen | 10:25 |
| ghostwiz_ | oops | 10:25 |
| ghostwiz_ | Do employers decided if to employ you based on your grade | 10:26 |
| ghostwiz_ | for example, someone who has a 61% 2.1 vs someone with a 75% 2.1 | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | ghostwiz_: some do, or at least ask for your award. | 10:26 |
| ghostwiz_ | they're both 2.1 | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | Intel IBM Google all ask | 10:26 |
| oimon | experiences may differ wildly, but i've been involved in recruitment process for quite a few years and usually filter the 2:1 and above *from good unis* first | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | no they usually ask what award type | 10:27 |
| oimon | a 2:2 from a good uni may be better than a 2:1 or 1st from a crummy one | 10:27 |
| ghostwiz_ | Right I see | 10:27 |
| oimon | no one cares about %age , just what the degree certificate says | 10:27 |
| oimon | 75% is a 1st | 10:27 |
| aquarius | ghostwiz_, and nobody knows what actual score you got; you get a 2.1 or a first or whatever. I don't even know myself what scores I got. | 10:27 |
| ghostwiz_ | oh right I see | 10:28 |
| ghostwiz_ | 75% isn't a forst at my uni | 10:28 |
| ghostwiz_ | haha | 10:28 |
| oimon | whut? | 10:28 |
| oimon | which uni? | 10:28 |
| ghostwiz_ | UWE | 10:28 |
| oimon | i was top of my year with 75% | 10:28 |
| czajkowski | it's not mine either as we go by QCA/GPA so to get a 1:1 you need A!'s from 2nd year onwards till the final exam | 10:29 |
| oimon | 40% of my 2nd year went to the degree grade, which sucks a bit when you get to the summer of the final year and getting burned out :( | 10:31 |
| ghostwiz_ | y first year doesn't count :( | 10:31 |
| oimon | then i got a job and never took a break..year out would've been nice :) | 10:31 |
| oimon | first year is for work, party and sleep. 2nd year you can only choose 2. | 10:32 |
| JamesTait | Buenos días a todos! | 10:32 |
| ghostwiz_ | I hope I can get a job in the future | 10:33 |
| ghostwiz_ | the economy doesn't look good | 10:34 |
| ghostwiz_ | I am willing to travel anywhere | 10:34 |
| popey | morning slackers | 10:50 |
| hoover | morning | 10:50 |
| popey | :D | 10:50 |
| bigcalm | I look forward to wearing slacks | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | because frankly seeing you in tights would just be disturbing | 10:53 |
| davmor2 | morning all | 11:02 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: prod, prod, prod, prod, prod, hello | 11:03 |
| bigcalm | Hi davmor2 | 11:03 |
| davmor2 | morning bigcalm was that your better half with you at sans le noir? | 11:03 |
| bigcalm | dans | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | No, Hayley had to stay at home | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | The 2 ladies in the party were @therealpopey and @christel | 11:04 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: ah twas christel then | 11:05 |
| bigcalm | Aye | 11:05 |
| DJones | bigcalm: Were there any photo's from inside the restaurant, I wasn't expecting any because of the darkness and assuming that flash photography would be banned | 11:08 |
| bigcalm | No, no sources of light are allowed | 11:09 |
| DJones | I thought that would be the situation | 11:09 |
| davmor2 | DJones: no you might notice that you have fish and chips from the chippy next door else | 11:10 |
| bigcalm | The glowing starter was a hoot | 11:11 |
| DJones | davmor2: I've only ever had one meal in "darkness", that was on my honeymoon, romantic meal for two (there's a surprise) on a beach in mexico at about 9pm, sun had gone down, quite dark, only candles for lighting, I nearly threw up when the onion rings I was eating turned out be calamari | 11:13 |
| oimon | does it glow when it leaves the other end too? | 11:13 |
| DJones | TMI | 11:13 |
| bigcalm | popey: are you changing g+ profiles? | 11:13 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: that was radioactive sushi from the recent nuclear power plant fallout right? | 11:15 |
| * DJones wonders what naturally occuring food colouring glows in the dark | 11:16 | |
| bigcalm | Bioluminescent scallops iirc. AlanBell will remember more | 11:16 |
| bigcalm | DJones: a lot of sea things have natural bioluminescence | 11:17 |
| popey | bigcalm: I will when a migration tool appears | 11:17 |
| davmor2 | DJones: there is also bioluminescent oil from certain fish that you can cook food in and it keeps the glow | 11:17 |
| bigcalm | popey: Sounds sensible. g+ was confusing me by suggesting I add people I already have added | 11:18 |
| DJones | bigcalm: davmor2: The only fish I eat is battered cod, I've never been a fan of seafood | 11:18 |
| bigcalm | :D | 11:18 |
| bigcalm | Well, in the dark you don't know what's on your plate | 11:19 |
| oimon | DJones: +1 | 11:19 |
| davmor2 | DJones: ditto that and fish finger | 11:19 |
| bigcalm | Some people had shark. Wish I'd had it now | 11:19 |
| oimon | "fish" finger | 11:19 |
| oimon | hmm | 11:19 |
| DJones | davmor2: As long as they're cod fish fingers | 11:19 |
| davmor2 | DJones: we are talking food not scut | 11:20 |
| DJones | Heh | 11:20 |
| bigcalm | I'm happy to have fish fingers as I have solders with my boiled eggs. It's just a name :) | 11:22 |
| oimon | it's strange that people eat sea creatures willingly that bear a similarity to bush-tucker if they lived on land | 11:23 |
| bigcalm | Keep an open mind to all yummy things :) | 11:24 |
| DJones | I'd agree with that, since I got married, I now eat brocolli and enjoy it :) | 11:25 |
| bigcalm | Hahaha | 11:25 |
| oimon | radical | 11:25 |
| popey | mmmmm fish | 11:26 |
| oimon | vegeatables aren't really yummy, though are they? | 11:26 |
| popey | some are | 11:26 |
| popey | sweet potatoes | 11:26 |
| popey | parsnips | 11:26 |
| DJones | oimon: They are with beef gravy on | 11:26 |
| oimon | and beef on the fork | 11:26 |
| bigcalm | Cabbage | 11:27 |
| popey | sprouts! | 11:27 |
| popey | mmmmm sprouts with bacon | 11:27 |
| DJones | Yummy spouts | 11:27 |
| bigcalm | All veg are yummy if prepared correctly. | 11:27 |
| popey | except celery | 11:27 |
| oimon | and served with meat | 11:27 |
| popey | celery is the work of the devil | 11:27 |
| oimon | celery is nice with turkey and dips | 11:27 |
| DJones | Celery with a bit of salt is lovely# | 11:27 |
| popey | i could eat roast parsnips on their own | 11:27 |
| bigcalm | popey: sprouts are yummy if moved directly from the plate to the bin without passing the mouth | 11:27 |
| popey | bleh | 11:27 |
| popey | haha | 11:28 |
| popey | consensus! We've heard of it! | 11:28 |
| bigcalm | :) | 11:28 |
| gord | i could eat a giant bowl of sprouts forever, they are wonderful | 11:28 |
| bigcalm | I loves me some roast parsnips | 11:28 |
| oimon | ewww farty pants | 11:28 |
| DJones | One thing I love now is macaroni cheese, my wife does a home made one which tases amazing, all I'd had before was tinned and always smelt as though somebody had already eaten it | 11:31 |
| chrisjrob | macaroni cheese cannot be bought or re-heated, it can only be made fresh at home | 11:32 |
| chrisjrob | IMHO | 11:32 |
| chrisjrob | and I consider myself a connoisseur ;) | 11:32 |
| AlanBell | bigcalm: sprouts actually become edible if fried up in bacon | 11:33 |
| AlanBell | then throw away the sprouts and eat the bacon | 11:33 |
| bigcalm | AlanBell: ooo, wonder if I can recommend this for the 25th | 11:33 |
| bigcalm | \o/ | 11:33 |
| danfish | AlanBell beat me to it! | 11:33 |
| DJones | Just mix some spouts and snails together | 11:33 |
| bigcalm | Snails are ok, if a little chewy | 11:34 |
| DJones | Snails as a food item are just _wrong_ | 11:34 |
| * chrisjrob agrees with DJones | 11:34 | |
| directhex | nothing is forbidden. everything is permitted | 11:35 |
| * chrisjrob bans things that create slime as foodstuffs | 11:35 | |
| popey | directhex: +1 | 11:37 |
| popey | Eat everything _once_. | 11:37 |
| bigcalm | _everything_? | 11:37 |
| DJones | And don't eat it a 2nd time once its been regurgitated :) | 11:38 |
| directhex | eat everything *twice*. it's too new to form a useful opinion the first time | 11:38 |
| popey | My daughter will try just about anything | 11:38 |
| popey | my Son wont | 11:38 |
| popey | he will probably change tho | 11:38 |
| bigcalm | Hayley doesn't like olives and yet she will try one every few years to see if her taste has changed. It never does yet she keeps checking | 11:41 |
| gordonjcp | bigcalm: heh | 11:42 |
| oimon | i didn't like olives till i used extra virgin olive oil | 11:42 |
| bigcalm | She'll happily let me cook with olive oil though | 11:43 |
| * mattt is hitting the monday morning brick wall | 11:51 | |
| davmor2 | popey: did you ever decide on a player for Sophie (/me hopes he got the name right) | 11:52 |
| popey | yes | 11:52 |
| popey | ipod shuffle | 11:52 |
| davmor2 | popey: fair enough :) | 11:52 |
| oimon | do shuffles have screens nowadays? | 11:54 |
| oimon | or they are designed for joggers | 11:54 |
| bigcalm | I take my joggler out jogging | 11:56 |
| smittix | Morning all | 11:56 |
| bigcalm | Hullo :) | 11:56 |
| smittix | How goes it? | 11:57 |
| bigcalm | Swimmingly | 11:57 |
| smittix | kool and the gang | 11:57 |
| Myrtti | hm | 11:58 |
| Myrtti | who's next on the list... | 11:58 |
| davmor2 | Myrtti: Ah just put me in the naughty column and continue :) | 12:00 |
| andylockran | how's things? | 12:03 |
| brobostigon | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17521020/9-DWP-Social-Security-Benefits-Uprating.pdf might interest a few people, the proposed benefit rate changes, that were just published. | 12:08 |
| awilkins | Just had a thought - would Unity benefit from a "summon window" method ; instead of switching to the workspace with a particular window, summon that window to the workspace you are looking at | 12:14 |
| Darael | That actually sounds like a kind of nifty feature for /any/ desktop with workspaces. | 12:15 |
| Darael | Personally, I think Compiz could use "move with window to specific workspace" bindings. It can do "move to specific workspace", and it can do "move one workspace up/down/left/right/next/prev with window", but it can't combine the two. | 12:17 |
| Darael | I'd like that because I tend to work on a 9x9 grid, with the workspaces mapped to ctl+alt+numpad. | 12:17 |
| oimon | adblock plus: “Allow non-intrusive advertising” option is enabled by default for all users but the ones using privacy filter lists | 12:20 |
| oimon | As of Adblock Plus 2.0b.3277 | 12:20 |
| gordonjcp | Darael: 9x9? | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | o_O | 12:21 |
| Darael | gordonjcp: Um, I feel silly. 3x3 | 12:21 |
| Darael | I feel even sillier that I didn't catch it. | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | Darael: I thought that seemed a bit hardcore | 12:21 |
| Darael | Hey, seen what e16 was capable of? Something ridiculous like 2048 sets of 16x16 each, wasn't it? | 12:22 |
| smittix | Does anyone else have ultra slow usb transfer speeds in Ubuntu 11.10? | 12:22 |
| gordonjcp | only when I'm using a USB1 hub | 12:23 |
| oimon | which shops sell miniatures (alcoholic)? | 12:23 |
| gordonjcp | oimon: some "high end" off-licences, whisky shops | 12:24 |
| oimon | would supermarkets sell them individually? | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | they might do | 12:24 |
| gordonjcp | John Lewis do | 12:25 |
| oimon | ok ta | 12:26 |
| oimon | maybe waitrose might then | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | yeah that's not a bad idea | 12:26 |
| BigRedS_1 | asda do, I think | 13:03 |
| BigRedS_1 | which I always found odd | 13:03 |
| Myrtti | tesco had some wines in relatively small bottles | 13:03 |

| Daviey | Anyone here using nvidia binary drivers with oneiric? | 13:38 |
| popey | yes | 13:40 |
| popey | ^ Daviey | 13:40 |
| popey | on my mbp | 13:40 |
| popey | (which I hate) | 13:40 |
| Daviey | popey: good stuff... Is nvidia biary still working with the latest kernel? | 13:40 |
| Daviey | binary* | 13:40 |
| popey | Linux mbp 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 13:40 |
| popey | is that latest? | 13:41 |
| Daviey | yah | 13:41 |
| Daviey | or the same version i have broken nvidia binary. | 13:41 |
| popey | I switched from EFI to BIOS mode, so I get nVidia binary 'goodness' | 13:42 |
| Daviey | frack. | 13:43 |
| Daviey | So it's just me. | 13:43 |
| davmor2 | Daviey: Nvidia hates you hate it back work for me, oh that and I moved to ATI ;) | 13:46 |
| Daviey | hah | 13:47 |
| christel | DJones: it was quite painful for us, having to place laptops and mobiles in the lockers before going inside! | 13:48 |
| mattt | christel: so no photos then? | 13:49 |
| * mattt jokes | 13:49 | |
| christel | quite :P | 13:49 |
| christel | well, they had infrared cameras | 13:49 |
| christel | so they could spy on bigcalm attempting to feel up AlanBell | 13:50 |
| christel | :o | 13:50 |
| christel | (pervs, the lot of them) | 13:50 |
| MooDoo | christel: i've just spat out my food thank you very much :p | 13:50 |
| christel | "they" being the restaurant | 13:50 |
| christel | MooDoo: haha i am sorry! | 13:50 |
| MooDoo | :D | 13:50 |
| bigcalm | christel: damn right. Maybe I should apply to be freenode staff | 13:51 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: nah thay suck.....pardon the pub | 13:51 |
| MooDoo | pun | 13:51 |
| MooDoo | oh christel didn't see you there ;) | 13:51 |
| * MooDoo waits for the kick/ban :D | 13:51 | |
| christel | harr harr | 13:52 |
| bigcalm | I can vouch for christel and say that she is an angel and a delight to spend time with | 13:53 |
| davmor2 | christel: why would blind people want to stare at a screen they can't see when they can just stand next to the table and listen in? | 13:53 |
| christel | haha | 13:53 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: are you drunk? | 13:53 |
| christel | well, the chef and the bar staff and the maitre'd's can see | 13:54 |
| christel | also, our waiter ran away | 13:54 |
| AlanBell | oh my, what is going on now! | 13:54 |
| bigcalm | MooDoo: not right now, not. I did have a skin full after the meal though :D | 13:54 |
| christel | so me, doctormo and bigcalm were sat there shouting for him for like 10 mins | 13:54 |
| christel | attempting to order more drinks | 13:54 |
| Laney | GAU!!!!!!!!!! | 13:54 |
| davmor2 | christel: now I understand why he ran away :P | 13:55 |
| christel | haha | 13:55 |
| bigcalm | I was exceedingly pleased that the pub we went to afterwards served ale in proper mugs | 13:55 |
| christel | haha | 13:55 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: Calling yourself a proper mug is a bit harsh | 13:56 |
| bigcalm | Haha | 13:56 |
| christel | badumtisch | 13:56 |
| christel | davmor2 is my favourite. | 13:56 |
| bigcalm | "in" not "to" :P | 13:56 |
| MooDoo | christel: davmor2 ? are you nuts? | 13:56 |
| christel | MooDoo: quite possibly! | 13:56 |
| MooDoo | :d | 13:56 |
| davmor2 | christel: I think you meant to say instantrimshot.com | 13:56 |
| christel | quite! | 13:56 |
| christel | AlanBell: when can we come say hello to your chicks? | 13:57 |
| MooDoo | cough splutter | 13:57 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: you should know everyone thinks I'm "special" just ask czajkowski | 13:58 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: czajkowski doesn't count as she's also special :D | 13:58 |
| * davmor2 can't wait for czajkowski to check the channel and read that :D | 13:59 | |
| DJones | christel: At least they let you put everything in a locker and wasn't like a coat room, ticket number 45 goes missing | 14:01 |
| christel | true! | 14:02 |
| christel | i had to entrust bigcalm with my locker key mind as i had no pockets | 14:02 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: special, spelt "g o r g e o u s" :) | 14:03 |
| * AlanBell checks the chick calendar | 14:03 | |
| bigcalm | Hehe | 14:03 |
| davmor2 | christel: Could of been worse it might of been an Alan | 14:03 |
| bigcalm | christel: the alternative was amusing | 14:03 |
| AlanBell | thursday or friday look good | 14:05 |
| christel | darn! the boy child does childminder on a thursday and friday, however, i may grab him early on friday as we have a christmas do thing | 14:05 |
| davmor2 | christel: You have shattered all my illusions I thought bras had pockets | 14:05 |
| christel | davmor2: they were both full(!) | 14:06 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: my wife says they do, especially when she goes out, stores lollipops | 14:06 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: I was thinking more of the notes that disappear when women have no pocket visible | 14:06 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: no idea about that one :d | 14:07 |

| davmor2 | christel: I'll stop when czajkowski is 100% then she might stand a chance of catching me :) | 15:38 |
| christel | hehe | 15:51 |
| christel | you won't have long to go! | 15:51 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: perhaps you can chase christel in the meantime? | 15:52 |
| christel | i think he was running away, not chasing :o | 15:53 |
| davmor2 | christel: I'm pretty sure I safe as long as I can run faster :) | 15:53 |
| jutnux | Afternoon guys. | 15:53 |
| christel | ah! but she may secretly be an antelope! | 15:54 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: why would I chase christel tickle maybe but not chase that's just wrong | 15:54 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: chase, rugby tackle to the floor, then tickle? | 15:54 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: No that's just wrong, it'll end in tears and possibly yours for suggesting it | 15:55 |
| MooDoo | i can take the pain....just ask them in #likesalotofpainonfridays | 15:57 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: so why do you keep complaining when you get the short end of the stick on Fridays E:TOOMUCHPAIN! | 15:59 |
| MooDoo | lol | 16:00 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| christel | tickles :( | 16:04 |
| davmor2 | christel: No don't tickle sad face he may become :) and then how do we do :('s then? | 16:05 |
| awilkins | I opened a flapjack that had been in my car for 5 years recently. I didn't eat it. Smelled wrong. | 16:08 |
| awilkins | My wife will throw food out the picosecond it goes "out of date" | 16:08 |
| dogmatic69 | awilkins: that is too late... | 16:09 |
| christel | i do that :s | 16:10 |
| bigcalm | Tut | 16:10 |
| christel | it drives gareth mad | 16:10 |
| awilkins | We have this fantastic diagnostic chemical lab attached to our face, specifically tuned for detecting spoilt food, and no-one uses it | 16:10 |
| MooDoo | he'll cope | 16:10 |
| bigcalm | christel: good enough reason then ;) | 16:10 |
| christel | haha | 16:10 |
| bigcalm | awilkins: I always sniff the milk (mostly out of habit). Even on the day of purchase | 16:11 |
| awilkins | She threw out a bottle of worcestershire sauce once... I had specifically bought the largest bottle I could find, because it gets better with age | 16:11 |
| awilkins | All that maturing time wasted :-( | 16:11 |
| bigcalm | Oh my :( | 16:12 |
| bigcalm | That's just wrong! | 16:12 |
| awilkins | I'd had that sauce since uni | 16:12 |
| bigcalm | WS should have no date on it. Same way that wine doesn't | 16:12 |
| dogmatic69 | bigcalm: my gf looks at me strange when i open a new milk and give it a sniff | 16:13 |
| bigcalm | :) | 16:14 |
| DJones | Somebody from work bought some whisky the other week from waitrose, it'd been reduced to half price because it was near to its use by/sell by date..... Doesn't whisky mature the older it is | 16:14 |
| dogmatic69 | nothing beats sour milk first thing in the morning | 16:14 |
| awilkins | Yes | 16:14 |
| bigcalm | In a cask, yes | 16:14 |
| dogmatic69 | DJones: not when its bottled | 16:14 |
| Darael | DJones: Alcohol only really matures in a cask. Once it's bottled, age makes little difference. | 16:14 |
| davmor2 | dogmatic69: you need help | 16:14 |
| awilkins | The bottle life is basically infinite anyway | 16:14 |
| awilkins | Well, long | 16:14 |
| awilkins | We have whisky we bought on our honeymoon | 16:15 |
| jutnux | My mum throws away mouldy bread | 16:15 |
| jutnux | Even if there is just a little bit | 16:15 |
| bigcalm | So will I | 16:15 |
| dogmatic69 | only thing that will happen to spirits is the good parts (alcohol) evaporates | 16:15 |
| bigcalm | If there's one spot of blue mould on a loaf, the whole thing goes | 16:15 |
| awilkins | I always buy the wine that's on the yellow label on the grounds that it's ready to drink now.. | 16:15 |
| dogmatic69 | jutnux: one tiny green spot and its in the bin | 16:15 |
| DJones | Thats hwat I'd have expected though with whisky, it doesn't exactly go off if its 6 months older than its date | 16:15 |
| awilkins | I pick out a fair margin AROUND the green spot | 16:15 |
| awilkins | The green patch is just the fruiting body, there are plenty of hyphae under the surface | 16:16 |
| bigcalm | There will be mould spoors in the rest of the bag. It has to go | 16:16 |
| bigcalm | Cheese is meant to be mouldy though :) | 16:16 |
| Darael | ITYM spores, bigcalm. Spoors are something altogether different. | 16:16 |
| dogmatic69 | i dont understand people that pay for and eat cheese that has gone off (blue cheese)... | 16:16 |
| bigcalm | Darael: it's possible but I don't care enough ;) | 16:17 |
| awilkins | Spoor is poop (specifically poop you are using to track an animal) | 16:17 |
| awilkins | Blue cheese is an acquired taste. I only acquire it after a few beers, a slap up dinner, and a large brandy. | 16:17 |
| awilkins | On the occasion, was in a casino - casino restaurants are ace - really cheap because they want to reap your cash on the tables. | 16:18 |
| christel | casinos are bad | 16:18 |
| christel | i lose so much money whenever i go | 16:18 |
| awilkins | Excellent salad, rump of lamp, dessert and a huge cheeseboard, £13 a head | 16:18 |
| awilkins | I think I gambled the complimentary £5 chip they gave us with the package | 16:19 |
| jutnux | I never used to like Soya milk, but I drank so much of it in the end I don't really notice. | 16:19 |
| awilkins | lamb, not lamp | 16:19 |
| jutnux | Stupid lactose intolerance, glad I can drink normal cows milk now though. | 16:19 |
| Myrtti | popey: ♥ | 16:21 |
| popey | hmm? | 16:24 |
| * awilkins wonders if lactose intolerance is linked to geekiness ; had never considered it before watching Big Bang Theory | 16:25 | |
| jutnux | awilkins: Mine seemed to go away. | 16:26 |
| awilkins | jutnux, People with secondary lactose intolerance can retrain their intestines to make lactase again | 16:29 |
| awilkins | (some) | 16:30 |
| jutnux | Oh. Sweet! It has left me with some other things though. | 16:30 |
| s-fox | Hello. | 16:32 |
| MooDoo | hello s-fox how the devil are you? | 16:33 |
| s-fox | Breathing. You? | 16:33 |
| MooDoo | s-fox: barely that | 16:33 |
| MooDoo | lo | 16:33 |
| MooDoo | s-fox: so what's up with ya? | 16:34 |
| s-fox | MooDoo, It is december. lol | 16:35 |
| MooDoo | s-fox: not your cup of tea? | 16:35 |
| s-fox | Everyone has to pretend to be happy. Its depressing. ;) | 16:35 |
| MooDoo | s-fox: so don't pretend ;) | 16:35 |
| MooDoo | s-fox: :p | 16:36 |
| gordonjcp | bugrit | 16:37 |
| s-fox | +1 gord | 16:38 |
| s-fox | +1 gordonjcp | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | so I'm going down to London on Wednesday, but apparently $work has already organised a hotel | 16:38 |
| gordonjcp | *and* the boss's son is coming with me, ostensibly to help with the driving | 16:38 |
| jutnux | So much revision needing to be done :-( | 16:38 |
| czajkowski | gordonjcp: is this good or bad | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | czajkowski: well he drives like an idiot | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | and he's the most boring mindless arse it's ever been my profound misfortune to be stuck with | 16:40 |
| czajkowski | lovely | 16:41 |
| mgdm | gordonjcp: you drive, you control stereo, you put on Future Sound of London? | 16:41 |
| jutnux | gordonjcp: Pull out the HDSPA and talk to us ;) | 16:41 |
| jutnux | the phone with HDSPA* | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | jutnux: well yeah | 16:41 |
| jutnux | what is up with me :0* | 16:41 |
| jutnux | :-( | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | mgdm: also part of the plan | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | actually I'm going to download a couple of eps of Book of the Week from Radio 4 | 16:42 |
| jutnux | Can't stand boring people | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | oooh actually | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | I *can* get out to Farnham | 16:42 |
| gordonjcp | 'cos I can get John to drive me | 16:42 |
| jutnux | Anyone doing anything unusual for christmas this year? | 16:44 |
| s-fox | Finding a bar and staying in it? :) | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | finding a new girlfriend and staying in... no, that's against channel guidelines | 16:46 |
| jutnux | Haha. | 16:47 |
| jutnux | All bars near me are closed (not that I could buy anything from them, alcohol wise). | 16:47 |
| christel | haha | 16:52 |
| christel | gordonjcp: yes! make him drive you to farnham | 16:53 |
| christel | i'll make AlanBell do an extra happy hour, just for you! | 16:53 |
| bigcalm | o.O | 16:53 |
| christel | (it'll be extra happy, see?) | 16:53 |
| christel | o.O's bigcalm | 16:53 |
| Dave2 | ö | 16:54 |
| bigcalm | Eep | 16:54 |
| christel | Dave2: yesyes. | 16:54 |
| AlanBell | Wednesday, hmm, working in Basingstoke, but should be back for pub o clock | 16:58 |
| christel | \o/ | 17:02 |
| awilkins | Bars? At Christmas? | 17:05 |
| * awilkins shudders | 17:05 | |
| awilkins | Although the last time I went on a pub crawl you could still smoke in a pub | 17:06 |
| jutnux | You can if you go in the smoking area ;) | 17:06 |
| * awilkins avoids | 17:06 | |
| christel | ooh AlanBell, we should do a pubcrawl, i havent done a proper pubcrawl for aaages | 17:06 |
| jutnux | I fail to see the point in smoking. Could anyone here (if they smoke) tell me why they do? Just wondering :-) | 17:07 |
| jutnux | I live in an area where teenage pregnancy, unemployment, drugs and smoking is high for 13 year olds - so I see it a lot. | 17:08 |
| jutnux | Why is my grammar so bad tonight, I apologise! | 17:08 |
| Darael | I don't smoke, but the majority of those I was at VIth form with for the last two years do. Most of them seem to do it as a social activity. | 17:10 |
| jutnux | Meh | 17:10 |
| jutnux | I don't care what other people do as long as it doesn't affect anyone else. | 17:10 |
| * AlanBell checks calendar for Thursday | 17:11 | |
| AlanBell | pubcrawl looks feasible, I wonder if popey can come out to play | 17:11 |
| Darael | Which is to say, just about nothing so long as they have anybody who cares at all about them, since even doing nothing would affect /them/. | 17:11 |
| Darael | No, jutnux? | 17:11 |
| awilkins | I tried it once when I was about 21 | 17:11 |
| awilkins | One puff, that is | 17:11 |
| awilkins | I didn't see anything special about it | 17:12 |
| popey | uhm | 17:12 |
| jutnux | Darael, you know what I meant - I hope. | 17:12 |
| awilkins | Although recently I've been wondering if getting a nicotine inhaler or electronic cigarette would assist concentration | 17:12 |
| AlanBell | popey: wondering about Farnham on Wednesday night is the plan so far | 17:12 |
| Darael | jutnux: I appreciate the sentiment, but I also know that one can find harm to someone if one follows /any/ action far enough. | 17:13 |
| AlanBell | wandering even | 17:13 |
| awilkins | My father was unable to give up permanently, even after they drained a pint of fluid out of his chest cavity | 17:13 |
| Darael | s/know/suspect/ | 17:13 |
| awilkins | That turned out to be the pancreatitis from his chronic boozing though :-S | 17:13 |
| jutnux | Darael: Yes, I agree. | 17:13 |
| popey | AlanBell: this wednesday | 17:14 |
| jutnux | In 3 years I'll have to come to one ;) | 17:14 |
| popey | ? | 17:15 |
| AlanBell | popey: yeah, day after tomorrow | 17:15 |
| * jutnux has tea, be back soon....... | 17:17 | |
| popey | maybe | 17:17 |
| popey | need to check with moonbase alpha | 17:17 |
| bigcalm | Oh, I see a new meeting date has been arranged. Will we remember? ;) | 17:18 |
| DJones | A thursday at 12:00, thats an unusual time | 17:23 |
| AlanBell | it is | 17:23 |
| AlanBell | the idea is to get different people along, there are some who can't sit on IRC in the evening | 17:24 |
| DJones | Is that using the idea that people are more likely to be around and not doing something productive | 17:24 |
| DJones | most of us will be in work/college, so not being productive :) | 17:25 |
| bigcalm | DJones: shhh, stop describing my daily irc activity | 17:25 |
| DJones | bigcalm: I was just talking about me | 17:26 |
| DJones | But using the "us" to not draw attention to myself | 17:26 |
| AlanBell | DJones: well I don't know if it is more people, but it might be different people, so if we keep shuffling it about a bit there will be more people involved in total | 17:26 |
| bigcalm | Good thinking | 17:27 |
| DJones | AlanBell: Its a good iea, I think its more likely to bring in more people, evenings do seem to have gotten quiet on IRC lately | 17:27 |
| DJones | s/iea/idea | 17:27 |
| Darael | Thursday at noon UTC... why, that puts it at 17:30 IST, conveniently in the evening for me to drop in! | 17:28 |

| * christel tickles laura | 18:01 | |
| christel | hullu my pretty | 18:01 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: I didn't say you were special I argued that you'd beat him for that I said I was special :P | 18:02 |
| czajkowski | christel: darling how are you | 18:02 |
| gord | i'm special :( | 18:02 |
| davmor2 | no gord the term was "Special" | 18:02 |
| christel | czajkowski: not at all bad! :) | 18:03 |
| davmor2 | christel: but by the sounds of picking on bigcalm not all good either infact part evil Muhahahahahahaha! | 18:04 |

| jutnux | http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LjxaK-dVugs | 18:12 |
| jutnux | http://youhavedownloaded.com | 18:16 |
| popey | heh, seen that in numerous IRC channels now | 18:17 |
| Azelphur | popey: the funny part is it says it has no records on me :D | 18:17 |
| Azelphur | popey: or any records for my static IP on the previous ISP I used xD | 18:18 |
| Darael | I think they have a list of torrents, and they grab the list of IPs in the swarm for those torrents from maybe four or five trackers. The result is that they miss a lot. | 18:21 |
| jutnux | If you use the bay where the pirates lounge then you wont be on there. They gave up on trackers a longggggggg tiem ago. | 18:39 |
| jutnux | I think they use DHT now | 18:39 |
| Darael | DHT rather requires that one is using a tracker for at least one torrent, in order to discover another peer and thus get ahold of the hash table. No? | 18:40 |
| jutnux | I have no idea. | 18:42 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: by the way Hello | 18:42 |
| * czajkowski kicks davmor2 on her way out | 18:42 | |
| czajkowski | toodles my dear : ) | 18:42 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: you can't good you only just got here | 18:44 |
| jutnux | czajkowski: How do you actually pronounce your nick? | 18:45 |
| czajkowski | Chi Kov Ski | 18:45 |
| jutnux | Ah thanks | 18:46 |
| jutnux | Whenever I see it I keep running through my head how to pronounce it. | 18:46 |
| czajkowski | it's just like the russian Tchaikovsky | 18:46 |
| davmor2 | jutnux: I'll tell you really czajkowski is pronounced OI! | 18:46 |
| jutnux | The composer? | 18:47 |
| davmor2 | jutnux: that's the one | 18:47 |
| czajkowski | jutnux: aye | 18:47 |
| czajkowski | http://www.bfi.org.uk/whatson/bfi_southbank/events/previews_in_conversation/look_around_you_robert_popper_peter_serafinowicz looking forward to this | 18:57 |
| Paul2 | hello | 19:08 |
| Paul2 | I know ubuntu have experience of running irc meetings. any comments/advice/whatever. wiki.ubuntu doesnt have much on the acutally running of them instead of the minutes | 19:09 |
| davmor2 | Paul2: how do you mean? | 19:12 |
| Paul2 | how do you stop a dozen people all chatting at once? I supose liberal use of mute etc | 19:13 |
| gordonjcp | Paul2: same way you do in a physical meeting | 19:17 |
| AlanBell | hi Paul2, we have a guide that might help | 19:18 |
| Paul2 | I saw there was that bot. I guess that helps | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Meeting/Guidelines | 19:18 |
| Paul2 | Still doesn't stop distractions, tangents, bikeshedding etc | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | yeah, that is the chair's job | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | like in real life | 19:19 |
| Paul2 | fair enough :) | 19:19 |
| AlanBell | the chair is responsible for timekeeping and keeping people focussed | 19:19 |
| Paul2 | well it seemed to work well enough in real life. Now just got to apply it to IRC. | 19:19 |
| AlanBell | you need to have an agenda, and a chair | 19:20 |
| Paul2 | Just concerned that people who actually turn up in real life have made a commitment in time and effort to be there and get something done. Whereas anyone can join IRC and put their 5000 word 2pence into the convo | 19:20 |
| Paul2 | we'll see how it goes :) | 19:20 |
| AlanBell | you can mute people if they are disruptive, or let them rant away, the nice thing is that someone trying to dominate a conversation can't actually stop anyone else from saying stuff | 19:21 |
| AlanBell | whereas they can in real life | 19:21 |
| Paul2 | in real life you sigh loudly and offer to get a round in, ignoring that person. :D | 19:23 |
| Paul2 | but cheers :) | 19:23 |
| jutnux | Can anyone join the Ubuntu meetings? | 19:24 |
| Azelphur | yep | 19:24 |
| AlanBell | jutnux: most global teams meet in the #ubuntu-meeting channel, we have the #ubuntu-uk-meeting channel for our meetings | 19:27 |
| jutnux | Oh right, cool. | 19:28 |
| AlanBell | and yeah, everyone is welcome to both | 19:28 |
| jutnux | Will have to sit in on one everyday. | 19:28 |
| AlanBell | !fridge | 19:29 |
| lubotu3 | The Fridge is the Ubuntu's Community News website, and can be found at http://fridge.ubuntu.com | 19:29 |
| AlanBell | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/ meeting calendars here | 19:29 |
| MartijnVdS | People who hang out on there are fridge magnets? | 19:29 |
| daubers | Evening | 19:30 |
| jutnux | daubers \o | 19:30 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 19:30 |
| AlanBell | MartijnVdS: that seems only logical | 19:31 |
| * daubers waits for the toad in the hole to cook \o/ | 19:31 | |
| * MartijnVdS learned some Cisco stuff today | 19:31 | |
| MartijnVdS | "Turn off port security" | 19:31 |
| daubers | MartijnVdS: Cisco stuff is a little odd | 19:31 |
| MartijnVdS | daubers: I see the point of "port security" (maximum number of MACs per switch port) | 19:32 |
| MartijnVdS | but not when I'm trying to install access points :) | 19:32 |
| MartijnVdS | "Why does only the first client get an IP?) | 19:32 |
| jacobw | Ergh | 19:32 |
| MartijnVdS | jacobw: my thoughts exactly :) | 19:34 |
| mgdm | MartijnVdS: heh heh, seen that | 19:35 |
| MartijnVdS | mgdm: it's very confusing.. and the guy who manages the ciscos wasn't on-site | 19:36 |
| MartijnVdS | mgdm: also, the server room has no 3g/gsm coverage 8-( | 19:36 |
| mgdm | bah | 19:36 |
| * mgdm did a CCNA a few years ago | 19:36 | |
| mgdm | every now and again, it becomes useful | 19:36 |
| Dave2 | do they teach you how to use IOS? | 19:37 |
| MartijnVdS | mgdm: I can imagine | 19:37 |
| mgdm | Yes | 19:37 |
| mgdm | I'm slightly surprised Cisco didn't react a bit more when Apple decided on that name | 19:37 |
| MartijnVdS | mgdm: IBM didn't respond to PS2 either | 19:40 |
| * daubers had a CCNA until recentl | 19:41 | |
| daubers | y | 19:41 |
| daubers | mgdm, thry did, apple licence it I think | 19:42 |
| Dave2 | Especially after the whole iPhone thing. | 19:42 |
| jutnux | Anyone here have a system76 machine? | 19:45 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Dave2, my old friend. | 19:46 |
| MartijnVdS | ooh new Infinitte Monkey Cage | 19:46 |
| jutnux | Hello MarquessDeBonBon \o | 19:46 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Anybody watching the Man Shitty - Chelski game? | 19:47 |
| jacobw | TIMC is great :) | 19:53 |
| jutnux | What is the score so far MarquessDeBonBon? | 19:54 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | 0 - 0 | 19:55 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Though to be fair the match hasn't started yet. | 19:55 |
| jutnux | Oh, HAHAHHA. | 19:56 |
| jacobw | jutnux: they're well priced even cosidering the cost to ship them to the UK | 19:59 |
| jutnux | I thought they seemed a little expensive. | 20:00 |
| jutnux | Might have to look again. | 20:00 |
| jacobw | jutnux: you can get a machine equivilent to a £1500 thinkpad for £800 | 20:01 |
| jacobw | jutnux: that's including shipping | 20:01 |
| * jutnux has a look | 20:01 | |
| jutnux | So you can | 20:03 |
| jutnux | Woah | 20:03 |
| jutnux | 16gb machine | 20:03 |
| jutnux | i7 quad core | 20:03 |
| jutnux | £723 | 20:03 |
| MartijnVdS | cheap | 20:03 |
| jutnux | Indeed | 20:05 |
| jutnux | Definitely getting my next machine off of there | 20:07 |
| jutnux | if I don't build it myself | 20:07 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | i7 quad-core = huge waste of money unless you're transcoding. | 20:10 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | A quad-core i5 is as fast in all but a few niche tasks. | 20:11 |
| jutnux | Umhm. | 20:11 |
| jutnux | I don't think I'd need 16gb of ram either | 20:11 |
| jutnux | 8gb would be fine | 20:11 |
| jacobw | someone on #ubuntu-uk saying you can have too much computing power? | 20:11 |
| jacobw | this is odd | 20:11 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | jacobw: he's obviously trying to run Unity. | 20:11 |
| jacobw | haha | 20:11 |
| davmor2 | bar them kick them off the channel now | 20:12 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | For that he needs 8x Westmere-EX 10-core CPUs with 384gb of RAM and 4x GTX 580s all submerged in LN2.. | 20:12 |
| jutnux | Hahaha. | 20:12 |
| jutnux | Take it you both dislike Unity ;) | 20:13 |
| * DJones o ps up & kicks jacobw :) | 20:13 | |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Careful | 20:13 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | jutnux = Mark Shuttleworth | 20:13 |
| DJones | For suggesting that unity won't run on a 386SX | 20:13 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Won't it? :o | 20:13 |
| Darael | It probably will, but that's not to say it'll run usably fast. | 20:13 |
| jutnux | Hahaha. | 20:14 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | 16gb of RAM is overkill. I built a 12gb system a year ago, and I rarely use even 6gb. | 20:14 |
| ali1234 | none of ubuntu will run on even a i586 machine | 20:14 |
| jacobw | 8gb of ram sounds ridiculous enough to me | 20:14 |
| DJones | Only with a user upgrade to control the system upgrade | 20:14 |
| Darael | ali1234: A fair point, that, actually. | 20:14 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | 8gb means you never have to swap to disk. | 20:14 |
| ali1234 | currently using 14 of 16GB here | 20:14 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | ali1234, doing what? | 20:15 |
| jutnux | What are you running o.0 | 20:15 |
| DJones | Must say, my 4gb machine has never used swap even transcodeing video | 20:15 |
| ali1234 | firefox | 20:15 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Hahaha | 20:15 |
| Darael | The more RAM one has, the more swap is necessary if one wishes to hibernate at any point. | 20:15 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | I was about to say the most memory-hungry app I run is Firefox. | 20:15 |
| jutnux | HAHHAHAHAH | 20:15 |
| DJones | ali1234: thats what you get trying to cache google.com :) | 20:15 |
| jutnux | Got to love Chromium | 20:15 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Firefox routinely uses 2gb on my Windows machine. | 20:15 |
| * jacobw doesn't love chromium | 20:15 | |
| davmor2 | no thunderbird makes firefox look like a rank amateur | 20:16 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Even the likes of Skyrim (I play on High, 2560x1440) only use 1gb. | 20:16 |
| ali1234 | transcoding doesn't use ram, neither does games | 20:16 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | ... | 20:16 |
| ali1234 | whtat uses up ram is badly coded programs that try to reimplement swap memory and disc caching | 20:16 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | I'll tell you what uses RAM: databases. | 20:17 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | And games... | 20:17 |
| davmor2 | transcoding and and games use CPU time not so much memory | 20:17 |
| jacobw | and ewes :p | 20:17 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Transcoding not so much since it's all done on the graphics card or GPU now. | 20:17 |
| ali1234 | lolno | 20:17 |
| davmor2 | jussi: you there? | 20:18 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | Do you know what QuickSync is? Probably not. | 20:18 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | There's also Badaboom. | 20:18 |
| * jacobw ponders another episode of 'house' vs studying python | 20:19 | |
| ali1234 | none of that stuff works on linux | 20:20 |
| DJones | jacobw: Having seen an occasional episode of House, I'd say studying python wins | 20:20 |
| ali1234 | if you install a patched mplayer you can get h264 playback in hardware on nvidia | 20:21 |
| davmor2 | MarquessDeBonBon: I'm assuming those are Windows apps | 20:21 |
| ali1234 | that's about it | 20:21 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | davmor2: yes. | 20:23 |
| popey | ali1234: didnt think you needed patched mplayer | 20:24 |
| popey | I dont use patched mplayer here for it, just install libvdpau | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | the one in the repos only does mpeg2 last time i checked | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | ie dvd | 20:25 |
| popey | i have done it recently on my revo | 20:25 |
| popey | 11.10 | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | well that's progress at least | 20:26 |
| davmor2 | night all | 20:27 |
| zleap | hi | 20:28 |
| gord | mplayer has done h264 vdpau support for a long long time | 20:28 |
| zleap | I have just tried to install the foomatic-db package and clicking apply it wants to Remove Ubuntu-desktop | 20:29 |
| jutnux | Procrastination :-( | 20:29 |
| zleap | ? | 20:29 |
| MartijnVdS | gord: va-api > vdpau imho | 20:29 |
| MartijnVdS | gord: as it also works on other chips than nvidia | 20:29 |
| gord | MartijnVdS, i don't care, i only get nvidia ;) | 20:30 |
| MartijnVdS | I'm never buying nvidia every again :) | 20:30 |
| gord | everything else is terrible, bad drivers, bad chips. ew. | 20:30 |
| ali1234 | nvidia drivers are pretty bad | 20:30 |
| MartijnVdS | Intel's are the least worst | 20:31 |
| gord | i work with these drivers every day, i fight with them. nvidia works 99% of the time how you expect, the rest are terrible | 20:31 |
| gord | intel among the worst offenders, just because they are open source doesn't mean they are good | 20:31 |
| gord | intel flat out lie | 20:31 |
| MartijnVdS | gord: except when you're a user and not a 3d/gl dev | 20:31 |
| ali1234 | why is unity-2d so much faster on nvidia then? | 20:31 |
| MartijnVdS | gord: nvidia and ati break on EVERY upgrade | 20:31 |
| gord | well that will depend on your chipset and system, but unity-2d uses 2d acceleration so i would expect it to be rather nippy | 20:32 |
| ali1234 | every time i click on the spread in unity i get a 5 second delay | 20:32 |
| ali1234 | and dragging windows is really laggy too | 20:32 |

| bigcalm | mgdm: I did a horrible thing. IRC bot in PHP | 22:09 |
| mgdm | bigcalm: you're not the first :) | 22:10 |
| mgdm | not that that makes it less evil | 22:11 |
| bigcalm | :D | 22:11 |

| mgdm | hehe | 22:16 |
| bigcalm | The original intention was for it to gate tweets for various minecraft people to #ubuntu-uk-minecraft. The bot I was using (written by dg in perl) didn't handle IRC and Twitter hickups very well, so decided to write my own | 22:16 |
| gord | think i figured out a new drinking game, watch a bbc nature documentary, drink whenever you see an ubuntu release. this may explain why its not precice penguin, we would all die from alcohol poisoning | 22:16 |
| bigcalm | In the process of writing it, I found the best way was to make it modular. Thus it now also does factoids | 22:17 |
| bigcalm | !info popey | 22:17 |
| tig | Info about popey: (born January 8, 1935) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". | 22:17 |
