dogmatic69server is 11.10 and local is 12.0411:16
mattti really want one of these dock-able phones11:16
dogmatic69server did not have major updates, local was 150mb and I saw the issue I submitted about key bindings from VM's has been looked at11:16
DJonesdogmatic69: I've not had any issues with that, my laptop had updates yesterday, server hasn't had updates for a few days, although I don't use function keys for anything11:18

penguin42it means waking up before midday11:26
dogmatic69DJones: I just tried minicom which uses some key bindings in terminal and that works ok11:26
dogmatic69DJones: I wonder if it has anything to do with X?11:46
dogmatic69I set up the Xauth stuff a while back to see what that is all about, yesterday I rebooted the server for the first time in a while and it could be that11:47

MartijnVdS[no 'your mom' joke here]17:47
AlanBellali1234: mhalll119 is indeed a paid sock puppet18:07
AlanBellor member of jono's team18:08

penguin42you can tell G+ is full of Geeks, currently trending up - International Telecommunications Union18:27
dwatkinspenguin42: yeah, which is why it puzzled me that Justin Bieber was trending on there recently.18:33
AlanBellprobably due to lots of people saying "who on earth is Justin Bieber?"18:34
penguin42haha I don't know18:34
dwatkinsAlanBell: if only ;)18:38
SuperEngineerJustin Bieber, Jono Bacon - both silly stage names, both with initials JB - has anybody *ever* seen seen them in the same place or are my nightmares coming true18:44
AlanBellhmm, I have never seen Justin Bieber at UDS (not that I would recognise him) you could be onto something here18:45
* SuperEngineer screams18:45
MartijnVdSAlanBell: you have daughters of almost Bieber-fangirl age18:46
AlanBellyeah, apparently it is highly uncool to like him18:46
MartijnVdSso that's why he's trending on twitter every day ;)18:47
brobostigonuds, hmmm, sponsership for a nobody, ex sys admin, :(18:47
AlanBellif you are an Ubuntu Member and you have not been to a UDS before then sponsorship is fairly likely18:48
AlanBellyou get a point for each18:48
brobostigonlike those irish boys/twins, whateevr there name are, equally pointless.18:48
brobostigonAlanBell: exactly, i knew this, it was a joke.18:49
AlanBelljedward. I am not sure if it is cool to like them.18:49
AlanBellbrobostigon: mine wasn't :)18:49
brobostigonAlanBell: very uncool to like them.18:49
