SuperEngineer;)12:10
SuperEngineerBeen asked if I want to buy PC [spec as per http://paste.ubuntu.com/878802/] but seller doesn't know what price to charge [I *am* a friend which it's awkward I suppose].12:22
SuperEngineer What would be a *fair* price to offer him?  Ideas?12:22
popeySuperEngineer: offer 50 quid and see what he says?12:24
SuperEngineerI did just that - he grimaced.- My instinct says £80 - but - heck - it *is* *my* wallet! :)12:24
SuperEngineer[[but I'm glad we agrred on my initial offer popey12:25
popeymy usual way to deal with this is look at how much they go for on ebay, take away postal cost..12:26
popeyi.e. look at completed auctions only12:26
SuperEngineerhmmm - good idea, thanks12:27
SuperEngineerebay stuff seems to be £80 or there abouts... so that's my *fair* offer methinks - thanks popey12:31

dwatkinsI gather pastebin was DDoS'ed recently.21:15
dwatkins[again]21:15
OmNomDePlumeWhat would anybody have against Pastebin?21:18
lazarus_why pastebin lol21:18
OmNomDePlumeMaybe pastebin.ca has beef with pastebin.com?21:19
dwatkinsyeah, I thought the same - in fact, I even said as much on twitter, and had a very brief reply from someone directing me to a shady website about it21:31
AlanBellisn't that one of the fave communication methods of anonymous?21:37
AlanBellstick at statement on pastebin and tweet the URL21:38
dwatkinseffectively DDoSing them?21:39
AlanBelldunno really, I was just suggesting a reason someone might have something against a pastebin operator21:44
dwatkinsah yes, I see what you mean AlanBell21:47
StevenRhrrmph. I want a better way of listening to music, so I can store it all on my big box, and listen to it via whatever, and control it via whatever... I've installed mpd, but I can't find a suitable client.21:58
dwatkinsI hear ncmpcpp is good, StevenR.21:58
dwatkinsAlanBell: the blog which I was directed to back when pastebin got DDoSed last July has been deleted.22:00
StevenRdwatkins: thanks, but that only solves the control part... I want a way to listen to it too22:00
dwatkinsStevenR: oh, I thought that also played what you selected22:00
StevenRdwatkins: oh.. it can recieve the mpd stream too?22:01
dwatkinsStevenR: I don't know, sorry22:02

AlanBellStevenR: there is tangarine which is a mono based server thing that goes with banshee22:30
AlanBellthere is another one which I got working with rhythmbox22:31
gordonjcpStevenR: I used to use banshee and minidlna22:32
gordonjcpbut rhythmbox doesn't support dlna22:32
gordonjcpthat's okay though, since it doesn't support mp3 or ogg playback either22:32
gordonjcpso now I just use djmount and audacious22:33
