| * jacobw is digesting this week's political occurances | 09:45 | |
| brobostigon | the start of the con-dem downfall, yes. | 09:45 |
| jacobw | i was distressed by seeing a link of google news to a telegraph article entitled 'how boris johnson could become to next conservative prime minister' | 09:46 |
| brobostigon | that would be funny, him pm. | 09:47 |
| SuperEngineer | or as Mark Shuttlewoth said: "We know that we are sort of dancing naked through a minefield and there are much bigger institutions driving tanks through," | 09:47 |
| jacobw | i was like, 'what?! i've been out of the UK for a few days, what's happening?!' | 09:47 |
| tsimpson | boris would never become PM, we only take a joke so far ;) | 09:47 |
| jacobw | hehe | 09:48 |
| brobostigon | yeah :) | 09:48 |
| === PreciseOne is now known as IdleOne | ||

| DJones | currymonster: I've not used this, just found it be searching, but sounds a fair bit simpler https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager | 16:21 |
| currymonster | DJones: thanks, i'll try that | 16:21 |
| DJones | I can't seem to find it for 12.04 though | 16:22 |
| yothsoggoth | Perhaps this will be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 | 16:23 |
| SuperEngineer | DJones: I used to use StartUpmanager a lobng time ago - till I found [the hard way] what happens when the original option you chose changed to a different image - system fail -reinstal grub from live Cd needed | 16:25 |
| SuperEngineer | *long | 16:25 |
| DJones | SuperEngineer: From what I can see, it went out of fashion when grub1 went of fashion | 16:26 |
| SuperEngineer | DJones: it certainly is out of fashion... I'm glad. | 16:27 |
| SuperEngineer | but grub is still cool | 16:27 |

| arsen | here's an interesting one - anyone have any experience of setting up a webcam security system? like one or two webcams, hooked up to some simple ubuntu box, rsyncing images to a web server every min or something? | 17:45 |
| DJones | arsen: I set up a live webcam using "motion" a few years back, that worked reasonably well, I didn't do any syncing to a webserver, but I hgad access via a web browser | 17:47 |

| DJones | arsen: There's also this that may help http://popey.com/blog/2010/12/20/my-ubuntu-webcam-setup/ | 17:48 |
| arsen | DJones - yeah i read something about that | 17:49 |
| arsen | oh cool. | 17:49 |
| DJones | Thats the right cut & paste | 17:49 |
| arsen | basically my parents are building a house, i fancied setting up a webcam to do security on site, and also for later on to do a timelapse video :) | 17:49 |
| arsen | the site has internet, which is abnormal, so i figure some small machine (pogoplug or something?) plus a webcam or two, and rsync to my webserver for watching! :) | 17:49 |
| DJones | Sounds an interesting project | 17:51 |
| arsen | yeah, figure it could be fun | 17:51 |
| arsen | there's a site office (a little pikey trailer..) with internet, gona see what i can whip up, get it setup and running and courier it to them to plug and go! | 17:52 |
| DJones | Heh, sombody will probably point the camera in the onsite toilet :) | 17:53 |
| arsen | likely. | 17:53 |
| arsen | gona get two, one facing the house so i can get criminals and a timelapse of the house going up | 17:53 |
| arsen | and one of the entrance :d | 17:54 |
| arsen | be nice if i can goto the house's website and view its progress too. | 17:54 |
| arsen | looks like popey has done exactly what i was aiming for. | 18:10 |
| arsen | could probably add an rsync / cron delete to clean up archived and ensure it's backed up elsewhere. | 18:11 |
| arsen | so now i need some hardware! | 18:13 |
| SuperEngineer | the answer is not always in the bottom of a beer glass - sometimes it is! - drink plenty - you will eventually find that glass with the answer at the bottom ;-) | 18:25 |
| arsen | so a dreamplug and logitech c910 :D | 18:35 |
| arsen | sounds cool. | 18:35 |
| arsen | dreamplug is awesome, can deffo see some uses for that afterwards! | 18:35 |
| SuperEngineer | ...but a Ubuntu glass is likely to have that answer at the bottomm of the 1st glass ;0 | 18:36 |
