| penguin42 | well, dads machine mostly ok - although wth his flash is crashing reliably, every time is a separate question | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | boo flash | 00:28 |
| penguin42 | indeed, but he does watch things like news.bbc - but I've never seen it crash like this before; it's not even giving a grey block; it's just not appearing at all, not even taking space up - and there is an entry appearing each time in .mozilla/Crash Reports | 00:31 |
| daftykins | tried a clean FF profile? | 00:34 |
| penguin42 | no, but it was a fresh install | 00:36 |

| SuperEngineer | penguin42: no - but not for crashing into buildings in Lagos while carrying 162 passengers | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Well, actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_on_commercial_airliners_grouped_by_location#Nigeria you're right, they normally don't hit the buildings | 17:50 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42 you are missing a soul - why not hunt for it on Wikisoul | 17:52 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: I tried, they didn't have one that would fit | 17:53 |
| SuperEngineer | i guessed that | 17:54 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Lots of people die every day, it's a bad thing of course it is, but I'm not going to be too surprised by a 3rd world airliner crashing; there are over 2000 people killed on the roads in the UK each year - you can't feel bad about every death | 17:57 |

| penguin42 | Beeeee Beep! | 22:57 |
| bigcalm | DFS >_ | 22:57 |
| penguin42 | *. | 22:57 |
| bigcalm | That's about as much as I remember without looking things up | 22:58 |
| dwatkins | I thought my Tomtom needed new imagery, so I put this on it from a BBC Micro... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/7206087872_0265a13252.jpg | 23:05 |
| penguin42 | what's the res on the tomtom? | 23:06 |
| dwatkins | I think mine is 320x240, penguin42 | 23:06 |
| penguin42 | close to Mode1 :-) | 23:07 |
| bigcalm | Heh, cute | 23:07 |
| dwatkins | yeah, I imagine you could run an emulator in theory, but you'd need some kind of keyboard | 23:08 |
| penguin42 | does it do bluetooth ? | 23:08 |
| dwatkins | yeah, I think so | 23:08 |
| penguin42 | well there you go :-) | 23:09 |
| dwatkins | indeed, although mine doesn't have an SD Card slot, so I'd use one which the storage can be replaced in. | 23:09 |
| * penguin42 wonders why Tomtom's are still going given all the mobiles these days | 23:09 | |
| dwatkins | I prefer having a discrete device to do navigation that's separate from my phone. | 23:10 |
| bigcalm | Doesn't rely upon a 'net connection | 23:10 |
| dwatkins | Also, I don't want to have to download maps as I go (although I could install the Tomtom app on my phone, all 2 GB of it) | 23:10 |
| bigcalm | Can hook into traffic situations | 23:10 |
| dwatkins | The app is quite expensive, I think. | 23:10 |
| dwatkins | also, it's not compatible with my phone. | 23:11 |
| gord | you can make google maps cache areas now | 23:14 |
| gord | so you just cache the areas you are gonna be in often | 23:14 |
| * hamitron doesn't know which areas to cache, that he will get lost in | 23:21 | |
| dwatkins | yeah, I live in Scotland but don't know the area, so I'd prefer to have the entire country already on a device. | 23:21 |
| hamitron | same | 23:22 |
| hamitron | about having it all there I mean | 23:22 |
| * bigcalm likes getting lost :) | 23:22 | |
| hamitron | get lost then ;) | 23:22 |
| ali1234 | ovi maps has always been able to do that | 23:23 |
| ali1234 | if you have a big enough SD card you can put ALL the maps on it | 23:23 |
| dwatkins | The other difference between my Tomtom and my phone is that the windscreen mount for the Tomtom works several orders of magnitude better than the one for my phone ;) | 23:23 |
| dwatkins | iirc the Tomtom app is £70. | 23:23 |
| hamitron | I tried ovi maps on a phone..... | 23:23 |
| hamitron | I had to travel at 50mph to get the directions given in time | 23:24 |
| hamitron | :/ | 23:24 |
| dwatkins | in time? were you in a DeLorean, hamitron? ;) | 23:24 |
| hamitron | hehe | 23:25 |
| hamitron | best I've used on a phone is route66 on my ngage | 23:26 |
| dwatkins | ah, the iPhone Tomtom app is only £40... | 23:26 |
| hamitron | but never tried the stuff that needs net connection | 23:27 |
| hamitron | does that £40 lock the app to that phone? | 23:27 |
| dwatkins | no, the app is tied to your iTunes account, so you can install it on another iPhone no problem. | 23:28 |
| hamitron | is that the same for android apps? | 23:28 |
| dwatkins | I believe so, yes. | 23:28 |
| gbyers_ | hamitron, yes | 23:28 |
| hamitron | that is something I guess | 23:28 |
| hamitron | :) | 23:28 |
| dwatkins | hmm, doesn't look like there's a UK Tomtom app yet for Android. | 23:29 |
| hamitron | :-o | 23:29 |

| hamitron | a feature helps you out with that | 23:33 |
| gbyers_ | hamitron, join us on irc.twit.tv | 23:37 |

| dwatkins | I used to listen to TWiT and Security Now. | 23:51 |
| dogmatic69 | how can I rename *.foo.bar to *.bar | 23:51 |
| dwatkins | dogmatic69: with a regexp and the 'rename' command. | 23:51 |
