[11:14] <popey> gord: I might take a couple of gamecube controllers and usb adapters, hdmi and displayport adapter so we can play some mame stuff in the rooms ☺
[11:24] <gord> niiice :D
[11:44] <popey> wonder if I can get 4 controllers and then do 4 player gauntlet or super sprint
[11:45] <gord> x220 only has three usb ports - can bring a spare gamecube controller though
[11:45] <popey> i have a usb hub
[11:46] <popey> good tip!
[11:46] <popey> wish the wavebird worked with the usb adapter but it doesnt
[11:46] <popey> never quite figured out why
[12:10] <SuperEngineer> o?
[12:10] <SuperEngineer> ;)
[12:22] <SuperEngineer> Been 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?
[12:24] <popey> SuperEngineer: offer 50 quid and see what he says?
[12:24] <SuperEngineer> I did just that - he grimaced.- My instinct says £80 - but - heck - it *is* *my* wallet! :)
[12:25] <SuperEngineer> [[but I'm glad we agrred on my initial offer popey
[12:26] <popey> my usual way to deal with this is look at how much they go for on ebay, take away postal cost..
[12:26] <popey> i.e. look at completed auctions only
[12:27] <SuperEngineer> hmmm - good idea, thanks
[12:31] <SuperEngineer> ebay stuff seems to be £80 or there abouts... so that's my *fair* offer methinks - thanks popey
[12:36] <Laney> SHORTS DAY!
[13:07] <SuperEngineer> Currently listening to http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/fricomedy/fricomedy_20120309-1900a.mp3 - worth it even if just to learn about the nuclear ducks ;)
[13:08] <penguin42> Laney: The clothing or the class of drinks?
[13:14] <MartijnVdS> yes :)
[13:16] <SuperEngineer> ...can't wait for Bikini day !

[13:45] <directhex> Laney: no shorts. i am PAINTING today!
[13:45] <MartijnVdS> Most great painters drank a lot
[13:52] <SuperEngineer> directhex: whoops - link worky goody - if you remove the "]", I didn't put a space after the address & the bracket!  double doh!
[13:53] <SuperEngineer> directhex:  for what it's worth... http://paste.ubuntu.com/878802/
[14:02] <OmNomDePlume> MartijnVdS, what do you think of Royston Drenthe?
[14:05] <MartijnVdS> OmNomDePlume: who what?
[14:06] <OmNomDePlume> MartijnVdS, aren't you Dutch?
[14:07] <MartijnVdS> yes.. and I know where Drenthe is.. but "Royston"?
[14:07] <SuperEngineer> wha-hooo-aaah - wha-hooo-aaah...  stereotype alert
[14:08] <MartijnVdS> Ah he's some kind of football player. I have NO idea :)
[14:08] <OmNomDePlume> I thought all Dutch people knew all Dutch footballers.
[14:08]  * OmNomDePlume 's mind is blown
[14:11] <MartijnVdS> ಠ_ಠ
[14:11] <OmNomDePlume> Jajajajaja.
[14:13] <MartijnVdS> Time for fresh tea
[14:16] <bigcalm> Hello, he..
[14:16] <bigcalm> llo
[15:34] <SuperEngineer> gosh it's quiet - guess they're all out trying out their new bikinis
[15:49] <OmNomDePlume> Mankinis, surely? This place is a sausagefest.
[15:51] <directhex> ... so?
[15:51] <MartijnVdS> As if men can't wear bikinis!
[15:51] <directhex> or tankinis
[15:51] <directhex> or one-piece swimsuits
[15:53] <cotterall> my sausage was shot off in the war
[15:53] <christel> that must have hurt
[15:53] <MartijnVdS> cotterall: Which one?
[15:54] <christel> which war or which chipolata? :p
[15:54] <MartijnVdS> yes.
[15:55] <cotterall> christel: :)
[15:55] <christel> AlanBell: IT IS A SUNNY DAY WHY ARE WE NOT IN A PUB GARDEN?
[15:56] <christel> (i figure he is more likely to respond if i caps)
[15:56] <MartijnVdS> christel: maybe he is
[15:56] <MooDoo> i'm no
[15:56] <MooDoo> not
[15:56] <christel> MartijnVdS: he probably is, trying to avoid me :(
[15:56] <MooDoo> christel: avoid you?  never ;)
[15:57] <christel> :P
[15:57] <MooDoo> christel: love you really xx
[15:57] <christel> aww i love you too!
[15:57] <MooDoo> :D
[15:59] <christel> \o/
[16:01] <SuperEngineer> AlanBell: because some of us have had to "promise" to catch up on outstanding admin - including e.g. expiredv security clearance [whoops]
[16:02] <SuperEngineer> Just realised the similarity between my boss, his boss- and a monkey: when shouted at, they take it out on everybody else [& whine as well!]
[16:02] <SuperEngineer> [Darwin was right]
[16:04] <SuperEngineer> re my last: [for AlanB... read christel  as addressee
[16:06]  * SuperEngineer dreams of sunny pub garden whilst looking at boring security clearance renewal
[16:16] <andylockran> hey all
[16:16] <andylockran> This ubuntu for android - when is a beta around / available ?
[16:17] <andylockran> I'm looking to get a tablet in a few weeks, any recommendations ?
[16:18] <MartijnVdS> Make sure it runs ICS
[16:18] <MartijnVdS> (or has an update coming)
[16:22] <andylockran> MartijnVdS: I have ICS on teh Samsung S2 - will that be compatible also
[16:22] <andylockran> Where do you find this info?
[16:22] <MartijnVdS> andylockran: On the googles :)
[16:22] <andylockran> :(
[16:22] <andylockran> my google skills must be faltering
[16:22] <MartijnVdS> Xoom will get ICS, for example
[16:23] <AlanBell> christel: hi
[16:24] <AlanBell> so, with rhythmbox, how do I sync an existing iPod without trashing all the stuff on it?
[16:24] <MartijnVdS> You don't sync it, you drag new stuff to it?
[16:25] <MartijnVdS> You can copy everything on the ipod to your library, then turn syncing on.. ?
[16:26] <andylockran> MartijnVdS: Can you provide a link please?
[16:27] <MartijnVdS> andylockran: well there's http://blogs.computerworld.com/19341/android_40_upgrade_list
[16:28] <MartijnVdS> which seems to be up to date to Thursday at least :)
[16:31] <andylockran> MartijnVdS: meant about the andrubuntu thingy..
[16:32] <andylockran> http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[16:32] <MartijnVdS> andylockran: ah, sorry, didn't know you meant that :)
[18:04] <christel> SuperEngineer: awww
[18:04] <christel> AlanBell: :D
[18:06] <SuperEngineer> ..& for those who forgot:  Happy [60th] Birthday… and, sadly, R.I.P,  Douglas Adams  - long live HHGTTG
[18:11] <christel> :)
[18:41] <andylockran> thanks for all the ghoti

[19:35] <bigcalm> Peep peep
[19:36] <Azelphur> Anyone noticing issues with namecheap today?
[19:36] <Azelphur> my domain (azelphur.com) only seems to resolve intermittently
[19:48] <stevepdp> it's not just you Azelphur.
[19:48] <stevepdp> they were the victims of a DDoS attack.
[19:48] <Azelphur> oh, where's the news about that?
[19:48] <Azelphur> I looked around on twitter and stuff and saw nothing
[19:48] <stevepdp> http://twitter.com/namecheap
[19:49] <stevepdp> "Our DNS was hit by a large DDoS attack causing some delays in response time. This has been mitigated and DNS will return to normal soon."
[19:49] <Azelphur> ah

[21:15] <dwatkins> I gather pastebin was DDoS'ed recently.
[21:15] <dwatkins> [again]
[21:18] <OmNomDePlume> What would anybody have against Pastebin?
[21:18] <lazarus_> why pastebin lol
[21:19] <OmNomDePlume> Maybe pastebin.ca has beef with pastebin.com?
[21:31] <dwatkins> yeah, 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 it
[21:37] <AlanBell> isn't that one of the fave communication methods of anonymous?
[21:38] <AlanBell> stick at statement on pastebin and tweet the URL
[21:39] <dwatkins> effectively DDoSing them?
[21:44] <AlanBell> dunno really, I was just suggesting a reason someone might have something against a pastebin operator
[21:47] <dwatkins> ah yes, I see what you mean AlanBell
[21:58] <StevenR> hrrmph. 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] <dwatkins> I hear ncmpcpp is good, StevenR.
[22:00] <dwatkins> AlanBell: the blog which I was directed to back when pastebin got DDoSed last July has been deleted.
[22:00] <StevenR> dwatkins: thanks, but that only solves the control part... I want a way to listen to it too
[22:00] <dwatkins> StevenR: oh, I thought that also played what you selected
[22:01] <StevenR> dwatkins: oh.. it can recieve the mpd stream too?
[22:02] <dwatkins> StevenR: I don't know, sorry
[22:30] <AlanBell> StevenR: there is tangarine which is a mono based server thing that goes with banshee
[22:31] <AlanBell> there is another one which I got working with rhythmbox
[22:32] <gordonjcp> StevenR: I used to use banshee and minidlna
[22:32] <gordonjcp> but rhythmbox doesn't support dlna
[22:32] <gordonjcp> that's okay though, since it doesn't support mp3 or ogg playback either
[22:33] <gordonjcp> so now I just use djmount and audacious
