| Azelphur | Anyone here got chromium (daily or from the Ubuntu repos) and mind testing a page for me? | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| directhex | i have firefox on windows. close enough? | 00:49 |
| Azelphur | Nope, haha | 00:49 |
| Azelphur | I have an odd rendering bug that I think is actually a bug in the browser | 00:49 |
| Azelphur | Think it might just be in the dailies though | 00:50 |
| Azelphur | Page layout == broken, Open chromium inspector, Page layout == magically fixed \o/ | 00:50 |
| Azelphur | and somehow I doubt the entire page layout should change, simply by the action of opening the inspector haha | 00:51 |

| * TheOpenSourcerer feels like death warmed (only just) up. | 08:28 | |
| TheOpenSourcerer | I have the worst sore throat *evah*. | 08:29 |
| popey | a bit | 08:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Spent the last two days doing vtiger CRM training/consulting, getting up at stupid o-clock, i.e. < 5am driving loads and not sleeping well. Today will be a quiet day for me. | 08:30 |
| gord | this *entire* week, to go to work, i have had to walk like maybe 500x the amount i normally have to walk to go to work, its been the worst thing ever | 08:32 |
| daubers | Morning | 08:46 |
| awilkins | I like this coach on the train. No-one can be bothered to walk this far up the platform to take their reserved seat. | 08:47 |
| popey | haha gord | 08:50 |
| popey | we walked over the river last night | 08:50 |
| popey | my legs still ache | 08:50 |
| gord | popey, over to the castle? went there during budapest uds, not a bad place, such a tourist trap though | 08:52 |
| awilkins | My favourite thing in Budapest was on old swimming bath | 08:53 |
| popey | it was empty at 1pm when we went there gord | 08:54 |
| awilkins | They looked at me like I was mad though - "You are rich western businessman in hotel, you want to use our crappy pool?" | 08:54 |
| awilkins | Lovely architecture. | 08:54 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | I had a nice time in Budapest. The steep climb up to the old city is quite a stroll. | 08:57 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | The first couple of hours I got there, I was wandering the new town, window shopping, when an attractive lady approached me asking if I would like a guide. I said "no thank you" then she replied with "What's your problem, don't you like sex?" lol | 08:59 |
| directhex | fosdem is coming up zomg zomg zomg | 08:59 |
| Myrtti | oh dear, what is the name of the webbased multiuser texteditor again? not google docs | 09:01 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Do you mean etherpad Myrtti ? | 09:01 |
| Myrtti | thank you | 09:01 |
| directhex | etherlol | 09:02 |
| directhex | nothing says "enterprise" like running three copies of OpenOffice as background daemons | 09:03 |
| gord | there is a "spooky cave" system that i went in, its all so fake that its funny ;) got some fun 3d pictures of some weird red wine fountain though http://3dporch.com/gc4e | 09:03 |
| gord | rest of the 3d photos i got that day are fun too http://3dporch.com/users/gordallott | 09:03 |
| directhex | ARGH SHAKYCAM | 09:04 |
| gord | get yourself a 3ds and download the mpo files :P | 09:05 |
| directhex | Model |Nintendo 3DS | 09:05 |
| directhex | ._. | 09:05 |
| directhex | you can view mpo files on a ps3, btw | 09:07 |
| gord | 3ds is a neat bit of kit for 3d, wrote a script the other day that converts 3d video into the format 3ds needs, can watch 3d things on my 3ds now | 09:08 |

| Myrtti | gord: please share? | 09:10 |
| AlanBell | Myrtti: etherpad-lite is very nice | 09:11 |
| AlanBell | directhex: etherpad-lite uses abiword rather than OOo | 09:11 |
| AlanBell | and node.js serverside javascript rather than java | 09:12 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Morning AlanBell | 09:12 |
| Myrtti | AlanBell: we were just having a discussion in #ubuntu-se about how to do multiuser editing of LaTeX - I used to use MediaWiki for sketching and transfer the end result to LaTeX | 09:12 |
| AlanBell | morning TheOpenSourcerer | 09:12 |
| gord | Myrtti, http://paste.ubuntu.com/762582/ - requires 3d video in left/right format (the same one that youtube and most other things use) - 3ds has a limit of 10 minutes per video too so you have to split the video up before encoding | 09:12 |
| Myrtti | bookmarked | 09:13 |
| gord | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf3BMLh_zGk is particularly nice in 3d | 09:14 |
| * directhex has a 3d tv & high-res 3d camera, but no 3ds | 09:21 | |
| Myrtti | gord: OMG the noise in the beginning | 09:23 |
| Myrtti | ARGH | 09:23 |
| gord | Myrtti, http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKf3BMLh_zGk&start1=15&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSoSG3m4FHgQ&start2=0&authorName=gord might help ;) | 09:29 |
| JamesTait | Good morning, all! :D | 09:32 |
| gord | why oh why does my phone think i'm in dublin Ireland... | 09:58 |
| directhex | gord, because it's using an IP address for geolocation, and there's a proxy someplace causing the misidentifcation? | 10:03 |
| directhex | similarly, mobile o2 users often get given german google | 10:03 |
| gord | oh, right - i remember now. its the AP | 10:03 |
| gord | used to happen with dallas too | 10:03 |
| gord | google did a scan or something so whenever i hooked up to the ubuntu wifi network that gets taken out to events it would think i was in dallas, now it thinks i'm in the last place it scanned, so dublin i guess | 10:04 |
| Myrtti | herm. | 10:30 |
| Myrtti | can anyone think of a web service where I could put a pin on Google Maps or similar and tell it to draw a circle according to driving time? | 10:31 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 10:58 |
| bigcalm | Oh dear, PremierInn still don't get it | 11:03 |
| bigcalm | Just received an email promoting their 30mins free wifi! | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | They should be offering unlimited free wifi | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | If service stations can do it... | 11:04 |
| Laney | only £9.99 per hour thereafter? | 11:06 |
| bigcalm | 3 quid for 24 hours usage apparently | 11:07 |
| bigcalm | In this day and age, wifi should not be something you have to pay extra for at a hotel | 11:07 |
| Myrtti | well three quids isn't too bad for occasional user | 11:07 |
| Myrtti | could be far far worse | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | meeting tonight peeps | 11:08 |
| bigcalm | Tether to mobile phone, carry on regardless | 11:08 |
| daubers | AlanBell: Time? | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | 9PM | 11:08 |
| daubers | okies :) | 11:08 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 11:17 |
| mgdm | 'ello brobostigon, how goes? | 11:18 |
| brobostigon | mgdm: not so hot, my eczema is not so good, and feeling ill, and you? | 11:19 |
| * bigcalm prays to the all mighty god Dermovate Cream | 11:19 | |
| mgdm | brobostigon: I'm OK - bit similar though not to the same degree | 11:20 |
| brobostigon | mgdm: ok. | 11:20 |
| Myrtti | I feel cheated | 11:23 |
| Myrtti | "Great British Cooking" book has yorkshire puds as the cover picture, but the book doesn't have a recipe for them. | 11:24 |
| christel | haha | 11:25 |
| davmor2 | morning all | 11:25 |
| mgdm | Myrtti: fail. Though they're not hard - I think I got one off the BBC's site last I looked | 11:26 |
| davmor2 | popey: aka brian how's life | 11:26 |
| Myrtti | mgdm: I know they're not hard, but I'm baffled at this failure. they're referenced to three times in the book, and the closest to a recipe it gets in "Toad in the hole" recipe "yorkshire pudding with sausages" - but it is just... baffling | 11:27 |
| Myrtti | also baffled by the book having been printed in China | 11:27 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Myrtti: YPs. 110g plain flour, 290ml milk, 2 eggs, pinch of salt. | 11:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Will make 12 popovers or one large YP | 11:29 |
| AlanBell | or some pancakes | 11:31 |
| christel | mmmpancakes | 11:31 |
| davmor2 | TheOpenSourcerer, AlanBell, christel: Have you seen the latest epic moneysupermarket advert? | 11:33 |
| AlanBell | the one with popey in it? | 11:33 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: Yeap that exact one | 11:33 |
| christel | haha yes | 11:33 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | davmor2: Nope. tend not to watch tv much and if I happen to be on commercial tv generally ignore ads anyway. | 11:33 |
| davmor2 | TheOpenSourcerer: http://www.thedrum.co.uk/news/2012/01/06/moneysupermarket-launches-new-epic-ad-set-las-vegas tell me it isn't popey | 11:34 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: linky? | 11:34 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: ^ | 11:34 |
| bigcalm | :) | 11:34 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | lol - yep, that was popey a few years ago. | 11:35 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: the best of it is I saw it laughed and went that's popey and my mrs who has only met him once agreed | 11:36 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: yep, that's popey alright | 11:36 |
| JGJones | bigcalm - I often get free wifi at PremierInn | 11:39 |
| christel | i guess canonical just doesn't pay him enough! | 11:40 |
| davmor2 | christel: that or it was recorded before he started his new job when he was contracting :) | 11:41 |
| christel | hehe | 11:41 |
| andylockran | morning all! | 11:44 |
| mattt | morning morning | 11:51 |
| davmor2 | gord: when you see popey you need to start calling him Brian ;) | 12:05 |
| popey | or not | 12:08 |
| czajkowski | hmmm my precsise install is further acting up | 12:09 |
| czajkowski | tempted to go back to oneiric | 12:09 |
| czajkowski | when i power off and shut down | 12:09 |
| czajkowski | it doesnt seem to be doing so as i wake up to no battery | 12:09 |
| czajkowski | which is a bit bloody annoying | 12:09 |
| davmor2 | popey: No you are brian from that advert you can try and deny it all you want but we know it's you really ;) | 12:16 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: Morning Darling how are we today :D | 12:16 |
| czajkowski | fantastic my dear as always | 12:16 |
| czajkowski | my day brightens up when I see davmor2 | 12:16 |
| * davmor2 throws up in the bin | 12:17 | |
| * AlanBell wonders if popey is feeling epic | 12:18 | |
| bigcalm | "Vote Up requires 15 reputation" This irritates me as to get reputation I have to answer a question but I've yet to find one I can answer | 12:19 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: haha | 12:20 |
| * bigcalm flings unplesantaries at JungleDisk | 12:23 | |
| * daubers wants to sleep | 12:30 | |
| bigcalm | I've downloaded a .deb and installed it via the software centre. How do I then uninstall it? I can only see an option to reinstall | 12:39 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: did it install correctly? | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | No idea :) | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | Managed to uninstall it by finding out the package name | 12:51 |
| bigcalm | Odd that the software centre doesn't list packages installed from .debs | 12:51 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: it does under others | 12:53 |
| popey | bigcalm: filter and show only unanswered? | 12:54 |
| bigcalm | popey: yep, and I still can't find something I know about | 12:55 |
| popey | heh | 12:55 |
| popey | you can get points from other stackexchange sites AIUI | 12:55 |
| bigcalm | Humm, ok | 12:58 |
| Laney | I think you can get points for asking questions too | 13:00 |
| dewar | Hi, any1 here programming with python on kde? | 13:00 |
| directhex | hm. the cpu core on the raspberry pi's SoC is the same as the iphone 1, albeit at a higher clock rate | 13:14 |
| davmor2 | popey: or you can install the arb approved unity lens askubuntu | 13:15 |
| popey | davmor2: how? | 13:18 |
| davmor2 | popey: I don't understand lenses it's just there :D | 13:19 |
| popey | 'there' | 13:19 |
| popey | where is 'there' | 13:19 |
| davmor2 | popey: it's available in USC. under unity-lens-askubuntu iirc | 13:19 |
| davmor2 | popey: wow I earned enough points to do stuff on it now | 13:21 |
| popey | davmor2: nope, not here it isnt | 13:22 |
| davmor2 | popey: try clicking on view technical | 13:28 |
| popey | where? | 13:28 |
| popey | there is no view technical option | 13:28 |
| davmor2 | popey: it is there and it is unity-lens-askubuntu | 13:29 |
| popey | it isnt | 13:29 |
| davmor2 | popey: bottom left on the USC main panel | 13:29 |
| AlanBell | davmor2: precise or oneiric or both? | 13:29 |
| davmor2 | popey: ah hang on it might only be enabled for Oneiric | 13:29 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: checking precise now | 13:30 |
| gord | hope someone is working on making the software centre quicker to show this cycle, would be nice | 13:30 |
| popey | http://popey.com/~alan/Workspace%201_051.png | 13:30 |
| AlanBell | what a sad little face | 13:30 |
| davmor2 | gord: it already does on precise | 13:31 |
| gord | still takes 5 seconds or so here davmor2 | 13:32 |
| davmor2 | gord: mvo has code to get trunk to open in 1 second, not sure how long it takes to load post that bit though | 13:32 |
| davmor2 | popey: Hmmm | 13:32 |
| gord | yeah all i really care about is that there is a window | 13:32 |
| gord | something that says "hey, don't get bored and start doing other things, you'll regret doing that when i pop over you" | 13:32 |
| davmor2 | popey: /home/davmor2/Ubuntu One/screenshots/USC-askubuntu.png | 13:34 |
| davmor2 | popey: I'll try that again http://ubuntuone.com/7XCW8MD7p8KSI0KICM8Xfh | 13:34 |
| davmor2 | popey: looks like it isn't available for precise | 13:36 |
| Laney | ARB packages don't carry over | 13:36 |
| AlanBell | which is not very appealing to developers wanting to use that really | 13:36 |
| davmor2 | Laney: we are still working through some of these teething issues this is the first app approved by arb that has been released using the new method | 13:37 |
| Laney | I know all about the ARB ;-) | 13:37 |
| AlanBell | it is as bad as the partner archive :( | 13:38 |
| Laney | the primary archive is da bomb | 13:38 |
| AlanBell | it is | 13:38 |
| * Gary is excited! | 13:40 | |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: The same is true of the for purchase apps, we have a mass migration sprint towards beta stage to see what works and what doesn't before enabling it for the next release | 13:40 |
| Gary | I pick up a new car on Saturday! | 13:40 |
| daubers | Gary: Cor! You must have been doing lots of bench presses in preparation | 13:41 |
| Gary | daubers: hahaha | 13:41 |
| davmor2 | daubers: no new cars are much lighter than old cars | 13:41 |
| AlanBell | davmor2: so purchase apps will be there from the release date? | 13:42 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: there or there abouts we are still waiting on some to be updated by the devs so we can release them on oneiric like wunderlist for example | 13:43 |
| * daubers puts an offer in on a house | 13:46 | |
| davmor2 | offer rejected we don't want scruffs like you in our neighbourhood ;) | 13:47 |
| daubers | davmor2: Since I've offered him 25k less than what he wanst, it probably will be | 13:48 |
| davmor2 | daubers: depends on the cost of the house and how long it's been on the market :) | 13:48 |
| AlanBell | my brother had a rather cheeky offer accepted on a house recently, he should be moving in soon. | 13:51 |
| czajkowski | daubers: ohh where ? | 14:01 |
| czajkowski | Gary: very sexy car | 14:01 |
| daubers | czajkowski: Thatcham | 14:13 |

| kirrus | Myrtti: frustrating!.. though you uploaded the error message shot to flickr ok I see ;) | 14:32 |
| Myrtti | kirrus: didn't use shotwell to upload it :-/ | 14:32 |
| Myrtti | took 14 attempts to upload 156 pictures, the biggest batch was 18 | 14:33 |
| alexwillmer | Afternoon all, I'm trying to get my head around ulimit and limits.conf. If I set a limit such as -v (virtual memory size) is that limit enforced per child process, across all child processes or something else? | 14:34 |
| kirrus | Myrtti: give up and use a different uploader? | 14:35 |
| alexwillmer | My ultimate aim is to restrict Apache to a total amount of RAM given a ServerLimit of 20 | 14:36 |
| Myrtti | kirrus: but that would be admitting you've been defeated... | 14:36 |
| AlanBell | alexwillmer: at least some of them are per-user limits | 14:36 |
| monsterwizard | Arch linux or gentoo? | 14:37 |
| gord | had to open banshee just to buy some music, crashed twice and nearly hung during my purchase :( | 14:38 |
| alexwillmer | AlanBell: but which ones, man ulimit doesn't say and google returns many man pages + forums | 14:38 |
| === neutrino is now known as LjL | ||

| bigcalm | Window's "Remote Desktop Connection" allows me to connect to a Windows 2008 server. Linux "Remote Desktop Viewer" isn't able to do so. What might I be doing wrong? :) | 17:19 |
| Myrtti | christel: that's because you're a woman. Men are so untrustworthy | 17:19 |

| Myrtti | bigcalm: I put him on my bookcase to keep company with my pololbear and puffin while I was away | 17:21 |

| bigcalm | andylockran: windows web server | 17:23 |
| andylockran | yeah | 17:23 |
| * davmor2 falls out with Myrtti for saying hurtful things :D Is it just an api update flickr side that hasn't been added to shotwell and have you reported it if it isn't? | 17:27 | |
| s-fox | Goodbye. | 17:27 |
| Myrtti | davmor2: the error message isn't helpful enough for me to know which side is the problem | 17:28 |
| Myrtti | and right now I want to smash something - my photo harddrive unmounted before my imported photos had been written on it and I made shotwell delete the pictures from the memory card in the import process | 17:29 |

| Myrtti | davmor2: usually imagining smashing things helps too. | 17:33 |

| AlanBell | best of a weak set of suggestions :) | 18:43 |
| Azelphur | lol | 18:43 |
| awilkins | I cannot emote. But it's because my phone doesn't support it, not because I have flattening of affect. #PsychiatricSymptom | 18:43 |
| awilkins | I may apply for a job with a company I hate just to see if they would meet my heinous demands for working for them. | 18:46 |
| Pendulum | awilkins: what if they meet them? | 18:48 |
| awilkins | Might even take them up on it... | 18:48 |
| awilkins | If you have to choose between stupid crap and *well paid* stupid crap.... | 18:48 |
| awilkins | As you discern above, my work isn't leaving me esp. cheery right now. | 18:49 |
| Pendulum | right | 18:50 |
| awilkins | 300+ GBP/day and a shorter commute buys a lot of cheery (might be able to push them higher, I'm basically a per | 19:04 |

| * AlanBell spies TheOpenSourcerer in the paper | 19:14 | |
| TheOpenSourcerer | ORLY? | 19:14 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Doing what may I ask? | 19:14 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | And in which paper? | 19:15 |
| * AlanBell scans | 19:16 | |
| AlanBell | http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/nicehat.jpg | 19:19 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | :-D | 19:24 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Which paper is that from AlanBell | 19:25 |
| AlanBell | the Herald | 19:25 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Cool. | 19:25 |
| AlanBell | oh no, it was fundraising for a scam /o\ | 19:27 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | What? You mean Team Hannah? | 19:27 |
| AlanBell | they are well intentioned, but the thing they want the money for is decidedly not :( | 19:28 |
| gordonjcp | hmm | 19:28 |
| gordonjcp | is 12.04 going to be less memory-hungry when it's released? | 19:28 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Oh really? It's not something I have taken a lot of interest in myself. I know she is now in the US undergoing "treatment". Whatever that is. | 19:28 |
| jutnux | What is Team Hannah? | 19:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | http://teamhannah.com/ | 19:30 |
| AlanBell | http://rhysmorgan.co/2011/11/threats-from-the-burzynski-clinic/ http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2010/05/harnessing_peoples_good_to_pay_for_woo.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislaw_Burzynski | 19:31 |
| gordonjcp | oh, so it's fundraising to send her to the fake doctor with the piss injection thing? | 19:31 |
| AlanBell | dunno what the content is, but it is a clinical trial that has been running for 25 years. You can charge what you like for a clinical trial, and it doesn't have to be proven to work or not, and as long as it never finishes and publishes any results it can keep on going | 19:33 |
| jutnux | If this guy truly has the cure for cancer he'd sell it to the US making him billions. | 19:40 |
| jutnux | .. | 19:40 |
| jutnux | or release it for free and make money off of the media, if he wasn't a douche | 19:40 |
| Seeker` | Anyoen got any idea how to make XShmGetImage work with NVidia + VPDAU without disabling the overlay? | 19:42 |
| Neoti_Laptop | Hi ... does anyone know what chipset/motherboard the virgin media tivo uses as i was just sat looking at the tivo and my xbmc box and thinking it would be cool if the two could be merged together IE putting XBMC on virgin tivo etc ? | 19:45 |
| Neoti_Laptop | or does anyone have a tivo box there willing to donate to "research"..... | 19:47 |
| directhex | it'll be a mips in tivo won't it? | 19:48 |
| directhex | broadcom BCM7413 | 19:51 |
| directhex | rebadged TiVo Premiere XL, basically | 19:52 |
| Neoti_Laptop | i wander if it would be possible to hack ubuntu and xbmc on to it...lol | 19:52 |
| directhex | short answer: no | 19:53 |
| directhex | long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 19:53 |
| ali1234 | xbmc needs 3d support | 19:54 |
| ali1234 | i doubt that broadcom chip has it | 19:55 |
| directhex | the broadcom chip has plenty of 3d support. but nobody does "locked down" like broadcom | 19:55 |
| directhex | you'll never make it boot your own kernel | 19:55 |
| ali1234 | unneccesary | 19:55 |
| directhex | broadcom don't publish datasheets. but there are indications that it has opengl es support. | 20:00 |
| directhex | "Broadcom now supports the OpenGL ES API as its official 3D graphics API. At the present time, the 3D core exists in the BCM7038 and BCM7400 devices. In the future, the 3D core may be included in a variety of Broadcom set-top devices." - the 7400 and 7413 have the same 3d core. | 20:03 |
| jacobw | evening | 20:06 |
| jutnux | Switched to Git from Mercurial | 20:06 |
| jutnux | And I love it | 20:07 |
| Neoti_Laptop | excellent... now how can i hack linux and xbmc on to the tivo ... humm ... gonna work on that ... | 20:07 |
| Neoti_Laptop | would be intresting ... | 20:08 |
| jacobw | jutnux: what's better about it? | 20:13 |
| jutnux | It just seems to flow much easier | 20:13 |
| directhex | hg is the only "major" one i've never used | 20:22 |
| directhex | i used darcs when the banshee magnatune plugin was kept in darcs | 20:22 |
| directhex | jutnux: that's quite an indictment, because git is carefully assembled to be unintuitive and backwards | 20:23 |
| jutnux | Well I like it haha and the GitHub web-interface is also nice. | 20:24 |
| directhex | github has some nice features beyond basic git | 20:35 |
| directhex | forking workflow is delightful | 20:35 |
| Azelphur | directhex: the only thing that worries me about github is that it's not open source / your putting all your eggs in one basket :P | 20:42 |
| directhex | indeed | 20:42 |
| BigRedS | Only if you only put your code on github | 20:44 |
| directhex | you can push to a non-github repo of course | 20:45 |
| BigRedS | well, yeah, which is what you'd do if you didn't want all your eggs in one basket | 20:45 |
| bigcalm | What's the recommended svn client for windows? Preferably with a CLI | 20:54 |

| BigRedS | In case anyone's interested, it's about kernel vulns in 8.04 | 20:58 |
| SuperEngineer | BigRedS: [sorry - I meant to add that bit but you beat me] ; | 20:59 |
| BigRedS | haha | 20:59 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 21:00 |
| BigRedS | It just took so long to load for me, I thought I'd help anyone not interested avoid the wait :) | 21:00 |
| AlanBell | right, meeting in a sec | 21:00 |
| bigcalm | :O | 21:01 |
| bigcalm | How did I forget and why am I here? | 21:01 |
| SuperEngineer | what! surely not [almost] ontime ;D | 21:01 |

| MartijnVdS | hmm kippers | 22:12 |
| directhex | bigcalm: yes! | 22:19 |
| bigcalm | directhex: why? | 22:19 |
| directhex | bigcalm: to fit all the awesomesauce! | 22:19 |
| bigcalm | I should have downloaded this during work hours and enjoyed 3.7mb/s. Instead I'm doing it during peak consumer hours and getting 1.8mb/s :( | 22:20 |
| directhex | 3.7M is your *work* speed? poor bigcalm | 22:21 |
| bigcalm | directhex: considering that I work from home | 22:22 |
| bigcalm | :) | 22:22 |
| directhex | i still declare it to be "teh slows" | 22:22 |
| bigcalm | Will be happy once VM double our speeds in the next 18 months | 22:22 |
| awilkins | I find 30MB quite pleasing, more than adequate. | 22:23 |
| awilkins | I do wonder what to do with 60Mbit/s | 22:23 |
| jutnux | I have 5mb | 22:23 |
| directhex | "The BT Group has today released its latest financial results to 31st March 2011 (Q1), which reveal that the operator plans to double the speed of its superfast FTTC broadband service to 80Mbps in 2012 and should reach 100Mbps in the future. " | 22:23 |

| bigcalm | No need to twist the company name like that :) | 22:24 |
| popey | jutnux: i think you mean Microsoft | 22:24 |
| bigcalm | Unless that was really the company name | 22:24 |
| jutnux | Yes, that was probably extremely immature of me. | 22:24 |
| * jutnux apologises | 22:24 | |
| popey | ☺ | 22:24 |
| bigcalm | :) | 22:24 |
| * popey stabs his mac | 22:24 | |
| * AlanBell only has 8MBps download at the moment :( | 22:24 | |
| directhex | here's the thing | 22:24 |
| * popey shakes fist at directhex | 22:25 | |
| directhex | "micro$haft" or similar is immature | 22:25 |
| directhex | what you want is for "microsoft" to be the dirty word | 22:25 |
| directhex | as in "ew, someone left a microsoft in the loo" | 22:25 |
| bigcalm | popey: who's fault is it you have a mac? ;) | 22:25 |
| bigcalm | directhex: hah | 22:25 |
| jutnux | popey: How long did OSX last on the Macbook? | 22:25 |
| directhex | or, less facetiously, criticize them when they deserve criticism, praise them when they deserve praise. it's okay, a mix is allowed | 22:26 |
| popey | jutnux: some time | 22:26 |
| jutnux | My sister did get some free stuff off of them. | 22:26 |
| awilkins | Visual Studio? | 22:26 |
| * jutnux laughed | 22:26 | |
| jutnux | I don't actually know | 22:27 |
| jutnux | but she met the creator of Brain Pop | 22:27 |
| bigcalm | Brian? popey? | 22:27 |
| awilkins | Not so implausible, I've been to MS events where they handed disks out like frisbees | 22:27 |
| bigcalm | Oh, Brain | 22:27 |
| directhex | i got a free mouse out of MS | 22:28 |
| jutnux | How many disks did Canonical take to CES? | 22:28 |
| bigcalm | New SSD might be here tomorrow. Excited! | 22:28 |
| directhex | i use it for conference presentations | 22:28 |

| awilkins | gordonjcp, Evolution isn't any great shakes either | 22:33 |
| jutnux | popey: It's amazing. There's also another one about this 83 year old man and his wife who play Call of Duty and follow Reddit. True story. | 22:35 |
| jutnux | Anyways, now off. Have a good evening (or what's left of it). | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | awilkins: yeah | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | awilkins: thunderbird is *incredibly* annoying though | 22:47 |
| awilkins | Outlook is awesome fun though | 22:47 |
| gordonjcp | "HEY, I USE TABS NOW BECAUSE TABS ARE MORE AWESOMER! LOOK, LET ME OPEN EVERYTHING YOU'VE SELECTED IN A TAB!" | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | no, bugger off | 22:48 |
| jacobw | ha, open thread in tabs | 22:48 |
| jacobw | that's fun | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | yah | 22:48 |
| gordonjcp | and watch it *explode* | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | I really hope 12.04 ends up a bit lighter on memory | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | if not, I'll just have to ditch Ubuntu again, just as I was getting into it | 22:49 |
| jacobw | unity-2d | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | if I need 2GB just to run the desktop with nothing open I may as well learn how to use Windows | 22:49 |
| * jacobw doesn't find ubuntu to particulary RAM intensive | 22:50 | |
| gordonjcp | jacobw: this *is* unity-2d | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | jacobw: it's obviously only intended for fairly high-spec machines | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | this PC hasn't really got nearly a high enough spec | 22:50 |

| gordonjcp | I tried the unity checkbox but I couldn't get any of it to work | 23:34 |
| gordonjcp | it was asking me to click on the "panel" then select the file menu | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | I don't really understand what it's asking me for | 23:35 |
