[00:30] <Curbuntu> Back again...
[00:31]  * penguin42 won't be here long - it's 1:30am
[00:32] <Curbuntu> Ah, you're in the "UK" of "Ubuntu-UK"!
[00:33] <penguin42> I am
[00:36] <Curbuntu> Well, perhaps I can check back Monday...
[00:38] <penguin42> Curbuntu: I'd try an Ubuntu server install, and if that gets you to a text login reliably try installing the GUI (ubuntu-desktop)
[00:39] <penguin42> right, bed - good luck
[00:39] <Curbuntu> Thanks!
[09:51] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.

[11:15] <brobostigon> afternoonings bigcalm
[11:21] <bigcalm> Hi brobostigon, all well?
[11:32] <brobostigon> bigcalm: not bad, and you?
[11:54] <bigcalm> Touch warm, shouldn't complain as it's summer :)
[11:55] <brobostigon> true, it is humid.
[12:02] <jacobw> afternoon
[12:04] <christel> bigclam \o/
[12:04] <bigcalm> christel: *tickle*
[12:08] <christel> how are yooou
[12:10] <MartijnVdS> Massa purple
[12:10] <MartijnVdS> Grosjean purple
[12:10] <MartijnVdS> hmm
[12:10] <MartijnVdS> wwe :)
[12:13] <bigcalm> christel: excited that the RAT is just 6 days away!
[12:13] <bigcalm> christel: how are you my dear?
[12:16] <AlanBell> RAT \o/
[12:19] <christel> oh my is it only 6 days!
[12:19] <christel> :D
[12:19] <bigcalm> RAT and a week off
[12:19] <bigcalm> Oh, might be a good time to discuss what's happening on the evening of the 14th.
[12:19] <bigcalm> What train are people getting from Farnham?
[12:22] <bigcalm> The RAT leaves Alton at 19:20
[12:22] <bigcalm> 18:56 from Farnham gets to Alton at 19:10
[12:22] <bigcalm> Might be cutting it fine
[12:23] <bigcalm> 18:26 from Farnham get to Alton at 18:39
[12:23] <bigcalm> Better safe than sorry?
[12:25] <bigcalm> And do we stay on the train for the 2nd trip up and down the line?
[13:03]  * penguin42 wonders what a RAT is
[13:05] <popey> Real Ale Train
[13:05] <popey> AKA Beer Train
[13:05] <bigcalm> Ale \o/
[13:09] <christel> \o/
[13:10] <popey> \o/ trains
[13:11] <penguin42> ah
[13:23] <shauno> heavy machinery and beer.  proof indeed that FSM loves us
[13:25] <AlanBell> bigcalm: yes, it trundles back and forth a couple of times, generally a pint in each direction works well
[13:25] <bigcalm> AlanBell: splendid!
[13:25] <christel> :)
[13:26]  * bigcalm shall take beer tokens
[13:26] <bigcalm> Which train should we get from Farnham?
[13:27] <bigcalm> And are there any thoughts on eating?
[13:28] <AlanBell> they generally do stuff on the train, normally sausages and an English curry
[13:28] <AlanBell> (i.e. one with rasins in it)
[13:29] <bigcalm> Ug
[13:30] <bigcalm> Hayley and I should be in Farnham by middayish (if we make a good and early start from here)
[13:30] <AlanBell> chilli and rice too I think
[13:30] <bigcalm> Mmm, chilli
[13:50] <SuperEngineer> Also just been suffering the "smurf bug" ob BBC feed with nVidia card...
[13:51] <SuperEngineer> ...on the optimistic side - it is a wonderful inter-racial equaliser
[13:51] <penguin42> smurf bug?
[13:52] <SuperEngineer> recent update to BBC feed player makes all appear in a  blue hue
[13:53] <popey> bug 967091
[13:53] <SuperEngineer> penguin42: recent update to BBC feed player makes all appear in a  blue hue - it's a bug dicussed a while back but today was my first experience of it :(
[13:53] <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/967091/comments/171
[13:53] <popey> that comment has a suggested workaround
[13:53] <penguin42> oh wacky - why does that bug have a CVE?
[13:54] <Daviey> Alan Lord as a baby? http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m302sd3IDZ1qzpw4u.jpg
[13:54] <penguin42> oh, I guess because it's a security update that bought it in...
[13:54]  * SuperEngineer "kisses" popey [metaforically only!] - thanks
[13:55] <SuperEngineer> [p.s. metaphor is spelt with a "ph" - you stupid SuperEngineer]
[13:57] <Daviey> I don't think you can kiss someone as a metaphor.
[13:58] <SuperEngineer> Daviey: well I am *not* going to do it for real - that's definite!
[13:59] <Daviey> You may well be committed.
[13:59] <SuperEngineer> ;D
[14:00] <Daviey> (no duff)
[15:27] <ali1234> popey: that workaround is not good
[15:28] <ali1234> there are better ones in other comments
[15:35] <popey> cool thanks ali1234 , that was just the first one i saw
[16:23] <ali1234> now looking at the manual focus controls on my webcam and wondering if i can make my own leap motion with it
[16:24] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: is that the kinectish thing?
[16:24] <ali1234> yes
[16:24] <ali1234> wow the C910 actually has a 2592x1944 CCD
[16:28] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[16:29] <pr0ph3t> is it really that difficult to change cursor theme in Ubuntu 12.04, or is it just me? Where should the theme be installed to work properly as opposed to only on certain windows etc?
[17:00] <dogmatic69> Looks like the 74 year record is not being broken today
[17:23] <brobostigon> ghostbusters 1, ch5, :)
[17:24] <jacobw> 74 year record?
[17:25] <popey> jacobw, wimbledon
[17:32] <penguin42> jacobw: Something to do with balls
[17:37] <SuperEngineer> jacobw: something to do with waving off the National Express back to Scotland

[18:04] <ali1234> brlabs: you forgot 6 surface to air missile installation
[18:05] <ali1234> AlanBell: camera can also supply data in multiple formats. so it can do about 10fps in the max resolution by doing MJPG
[18:06] <ali1234> or it can do like 1/2 fps if you do YUV, but it's higher quality
[18:10] <ali1234> about the only thing it is missing is optical zoom
[18:17] <ali1234> another one with auto white balance turned on http://ubuntuone.com/7MhYrxLTXiqz67D7gJwB2L

[18:33] <ali1234> http://ubuntuone.com/0E8cQ2uhaCVY3V2cDsOnwE - here's a set of 11 images through the range of focus settings on the camera
[18:33] <ali1234> accordingly you should be able to produce a 3d model of the toy car accurate to 0.01mm using this data :)
[18:36] <penguin42> ali1234: I'd like to play with http://www.miicraft.com/  to print it with

[20:03] <ali1234> hur hur hur
[20:05] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: but isn't it true?
[20:05] <ali1234> i don't think mercury exists in liquid for in the environment, so no
[20:06] <MartijnVdS> :'(
[20:07] <ali1234> it reminds me of that joke: what do you get if you throw a piano down a mine shaft?
[20:08] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: something about a flat minor
[20:20] <Darael> ali1234: Ah, but what do you get if you throw a piano in the army?
[20:21] <hamitron> pat on the back for been so strong?
[20:22] <Darael> Probably, actually, yes.  Unless you cause a flat major, in which case you probably get court-martialled.
[20:22] <hamitron> hehe, yeh :D

[21:14] <ali1234> hur hur hur
[21:15] <gnuisnotlinux> :D
[21:18] <directhex> as long as it doesn't crash unexpectedly
[21:21] <gnuisnotlinux> fellas, getting kind of nervious
[21:21] <gnuisnotlinux> what tips for interviews have you got?
[21:21] <brobostigon> well, you wouldnt want a car, with a bug, as to opposite interpret in controls/
[21:21] <brobostigon> input*
[21:33] <dwatkins> I would, however, download a car if I could.

[22:04] <popey> gord, is there any easy way to read the current filter settings via Unity.RadioOptionFilter or something?
[22:05] <gnuisnotlinux> I'll put you through to 2nd tier for that one
[22:05] <popey> hah
[22:06]  * popey finds get_option
[22:06]  * popey fiddles
[22:07] <gord> popey, honestly couldn't tell you :) don't think i've ever even looked at the lens side of filters and not looked at the unity side in over a year
[22:07] <popey> ok, no worries :D
[22:08] <gord> i don't think i've ever actually used filters in the dash
[22:08] <gord> i mean apart from testing/debugging/making them
[22:09] <popey> yeah, I'm making one for the shopping lens
[22:09] <popey> https://launchpad.net/unity-lens-shopping
[22:09] <popey> fun
[22:09] <popey> bigcalm did the backend stuff, I'm playing with lenses
[22:10] <gord> cool, so its even easier for me to buy stuff on amazon? thats just what my bank balance needs :(
[22:10] <popey> haha
[22:10] <gord> i bought something on amazon today purely because it said i had one minute left to order it to get it delivered by monday
[22:11] <popey> sophie came to my desk and asked if i could order some pens for her
[22:11] <gord> iruno if it'll be any good, but its already been shipped
[22:11] <popey> i went to amazon and found them, £10.18, got her to raid her piggy bank and gimmie the money and then ordered them, and a vi book :D
[22:12] <popey> i places the order at about 6pm on friday, the book arrived 10am saturday!

[22:16] <gord> no, you don't understand, i really need that bit of cable or whatever it was
[22:16] <gord> super bad

[22:24] <dwatkins> gord: that's mean and extremely funny
[22:24] <gord> annoying thing is that i would *love* a gameboy colour!
[22:24] <dwatkins> gord: indeed, as would I - any child of mine should appreciate this by the time they are old enough to use such a device
[22:25] <dwatkins> mind you, I have plans to teach my kids 6502 assembly as soon as they can read.
