| Azelphur | morning :) | 06:24 |
| popey | http://askubuntu.com/questions/135818/the-size-of-apt-get-update-lists-is-too-big is interesting | 06:31 |
| popey | for me an apt-get update is ~20MB | 06:31 |
| MartijnVdS | Debian uses diffs to make updates smaller | 06:55 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: do they do it for packages too or just the lists? | 07:00 |
| MartijnVdS | just the lists | 07:02 |
| Azelphur | I see | 07:03 |
| MartijnVdS | Woo | 07:10 |
| MartijnVdS | $isp now gives me a free upgrade to Spotify Premium | 07:10 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: nice | 07:12 |
| MartijnVdS | now to find some music I don't already have :P | 07:12 |
| popey | i wrote a script to save spoify tracks as wav files on my local machine whilst I'm listening to them. Handy when I want to play them when on machines that don't have that app | 07:23 |
| * popey boggles at http://www.cityinkexpress.co.uk (via Dave2) | 07:24 | |
| popey | i had no idea you could do such a thing let alone people sell them for most printers | 07:25 |
| popey | good if you print a lot of pictures I guess | 07:25 |
| Azelphur | ah yea I saw these a while ago, my dad always used to manually refill his cartridges with bottles of ink | 07:26 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: at-home refill kits, you mean? | 07:26 |
| Azelphur | yea | 07:26 |
| popey | no | 07:27 |
| popey | these have pipes that run to the cartidges | 07:27 |
| popey | from an external resovior | 07:27 |
| Azelphur | yea, the thing popey linked will run your printer forever and you just drop in new bottles of ink | 07:27 |
| popey | http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M7-qzb6kFBg | 07:27 |
| Azelphur | probably the way it should be in all printers by default, really :) | 07:27 |
| MartijnVdS | It sounds like something for rich people | 07:28 |
| popey | looks like a little bit of faff to install it, but once done you're sorted | 07:28 |
| MartijnVdS | with the prices of ink being what they are | 07:28 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: opposite, bottles of ink are cheap, cartridges are expensive | 07:28 |
| popey | nah, they're stupid cheap | 07:29 |
| popey | and you transfer the chip from an existing cartidge so they dont commit suicide like normal ones do | 07:29 |
| popey | or something ☺ | 07:29 |
| popey | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QP_RnOYhGw&list=UUdeWZ--ehN5ogld7cJaYhEw&index=3&feature=plcp shows moving the chip | 07:30 |
| MartijnVdS | glad I have a laser printer :P | 07:44 |

| Azelphur | too hot D: | 13:53 |
| DJones | Azelphur: It can never be too hot | 13:59 |
| Azelphur | DJones: it can be for bitcoin miners :( | 13:59 |
| DJones | Heh, you'll have to put some of your gains to work with an air con unit | 14:00 |
| Azelphur | got one, it's running flat out today | 14:00 |
| DJones | :) | 14:00 |
| Azelphur | unfortunately the rig heats the walls up which in turn heats my room up, where there is no AC D: | 14:01 |
| DJones | I just took the dog for a walk, decided to take him out in the woods so we'd be in the shade for most of it | 14:01 |
| ali1234 | t's only 27C today, yesterday it was 29C | 14:01 |
| ali1234 | there's a breeze too | 14:02 |
| DJones | We had a breeze yesterday as well, it was quite comfortable sitting outside with a beer and a BBQ | 14:03 |
| ali1234 | my neighbours are finally cutting their 2 foot tall grass | 14:04 |
| DJones | Our neighbours are like that, we've been in the house 9 years, I've only seen them cut the grass twice in that time and despite having 2 children, they never use the garden, they've never sat out in it, had a bbq, played in it, seems a bit of a waste | 14:05 |
| directhex | bitcoin is still profitable? | 14:06 |
| Azelphur | directhex: hell yes :) | 14:07 |

| MartijnVdS | raspberry! | 17:02 |
| funkyHat | I got an email on Thursday saying mine has been shipped! | 17:03 |
| MartijnVdS | I got my "shipped" mail on tuesday | 17:03 |
| MartijnVdS | but no tracking code | 17:03 |
| * brobostigon blows raspberry's at everyone. | 17:03 | |
| MartijnVdS | but I still got it! | 17:03 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: evening :) | 17:03 |
| funkyHat | Only problem is I had them deliver it to my parents' house, but I'm going back to my house in London tonight -_- | 17:03 |
| funkyHat | MartijnVdS: you got it today? | 17:04 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: yesterday actually | 17:04 |
| MartijnVdS | but I hadn't bothered to check my mailbox yet | 17:04 |
| funkyHat | Nice, so mine should arrive in a couple of days | 17:04 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: evening :) | 17:04 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: I'm in .nl, that might skew the delivery time :) | 17:04 |
| funkyHat | Ah right | 17:04 |
| MartijnVdS | but it seems to have been shipped from the UK (Royal Mail, Farnell) | 17:05 |
| funkyHat | WHY ISN'T MINE HERE ALREADY THEN. UNFAIR | 17:05 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: are you far up north maybe? | 17:05 |
| funkyHat | MartijnVdS: no, Northampton | 17:05 |
| MartijnVdS | where it's harsh and unforgiving, and mail trucks only come once a fortnight | 17:05 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: so you're a bit north :P | 17:06 |
| MartijnVdS | well mid | 17:06 |
| funkyHat | I'm told that "north" is anything north of the Watford Gap. So Northampton is not north, but only just | 17:07 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: Google Maps brings me to the same location for Northampton and Watford Gap | 17:08 |
| funkyHat | ⢁D | 17:09 |
| funkyHat | MartijnVdS: did you get a tshirt? | 17:16 |
| jacobw | i've met americans who consider birmingham to be in the north | 17:18 |
| jacobw | it's crazy | 17:18 |
| funkyHat | s/americans/londoners/ | 17:20 |
| MartijnVdS | funkyHat: no | 17:22 |
| directhex | anything north of birmingham is scotland. | 17:33 |
| directhex | except for the bits north of leeds, which are scandinavia | 17:34 |
| MartijnVdS | directhex: and then there's Shetland | 17:34 |
| DJones | hmmh, that makes me scottish then | 17:34 |
| directhex | isn't that an arctic ice floe? | 17:34 |
| MartijnVdS | directhex: Faroe | 17:35 |

| jacobw | hi | 19:08 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 19:10 |
| michael__ | Hello all - could someone please help with VPN? Ive set one up to connect to where I work, used the same settings as those on my works laptop (which uses windows xp) though cant seem to find 'how' to connect to the VPN - its not listed under places > Network. Am I doing something wrong? | 19:38 |
| MartijnVdS | michael__: what kind of vpn is it? | 19:40 |
| MartijnVdS | michael__: openvpn? Cisco? ...? | 19:41 |
| michael__ | Oh Ive no idea | 19:41 |
| MartijnVdS | then how did you set it up? | 19:41 |
| michael__ | just went to where my wifi bars sit on the top of the screen, clicked it, went down to vpn connections and selected 'configure vpn' | 19:42 |
| michael__ | (im using ubuntu 11.04 by the way) | 19:42 |
| MartijnVdS | michael__: if you do "apt-cache search network manager vpn gnome" in a terminal, it'll show you all VPN clients/technologies supported by the GUI (install the relevant package) | 19:42 |
| dwatkins | you probably need to know the hostname of the end-point, michael__ - you may also have to authorise the client machine | 19:42 |
| MartijnVdS | it'll be added to the list of VPN technologies you get when you click "Add" in the networks dialog | 19:43 |
| michael__ | Openvpm is in that list of stuff I just got listed | 19:44 |
| michael__ | openvpn-gnome to be precise | 19:45 |
| michael__ | but nothing else I recognise | 19:45 |
| michael__ | just get this (sorry, should use paste bin I know but its only a small bit...) network-manager-pptp-gnome - network management framework (PPTP plugin, GNOME UI) | 19:46 |
| michael__ | network-manager-openconnect-gnome - network management framework (Openconnect plugin, GNOME UI) | 19:46 |
| michael__ | network-manager-openvpn-gnome - network management framework (OpenVPN plugin, GNOME UI) | 19:46 |
| michael__ | network-manager-vpnc-gnome - network management framework (VPNC plugin, GNOME UI) | 19:46 |
| MartijnVdS | yes | 19:47 |
| MartijnVdS | if you're connecting to a Cisco VPN network, install network-manager-vpnc-gnome | 19:47 |
| MartijnVdS | if it's openvpn, use network-manager-openvpn-gnome | 19:47 |
| MartijnVdS | etc. | 19:47 |
| michael__ | its our work systems and I think they're all just Microsoft stuff | 19:47 |
| michael__ | The reason Im going this is I have a VPN system on my windows XP works laptop - that laptop has decided its going to be a pain in the backside tonight so I thought id just set the same VPN thingy up on my Ubuntu laptop | 19:48 |
| michael__ | Ive already got my work emails on here | 19:48 |

| bigcalm_laptop | gord: haven't opened the ports on my router to do so | 20:14 |
| gord | oh right, fairy nuff | 20:14 |
| bigcalm_laptop | But I could do so at some point I guess :) | 20:14 |
| michael__ | ooo do either you bigcalm or gord know how to replicate my windows xp VPN onto my Ubuntu machine? | 20:14 |
| gord | not me | 20:14 |
