[08:20] yeah, i loved it [08:21] :) [08:21] it was interesting. [08:21] i found it sad that they seemed to ignore the guy who built the working model [08:22] all the other university bods patting each other on the back, and the other guy achieved as much as them. i wonder what else there is to that story [08:49] Ahoy [08:49] hoy [08:49] elo sailor ;-) [08:51] Oh my [08:52] mungojerry: he looked a bit eccentric [08:52] mungojerry: (the guy who made a copy) [08:53] yes, certainly autistic spectrum, from first impressions. maybe he collaborate very well [08:54] his work was excellent and would have been useful [08:55] ^would not collaborate [09:02] heya bigcalm :) [09:03] Ewwo christel :) [09:03] how are yoou [09:03] Tired! nothing new ;) [09:03] How are you sweetie?

[09:07] Soo tired [09:08] I think that 'soo' should be a word like 'too' [09:08] Similar to 'to', but more so ;) [09:13] Howdy popey [09:14] pip pip [09:14] Holiday boring you onto IRC? :P [09:14] hah [09:22] * TheOpenSourcerer is off to the Olympic Park again today. Handball Qtr Final then think we'll drag the kids to Hyde Park later on. [09:24] bigcalm: yus! :P [09:24] i am just Very Disorganised [09:28] TheOpenSourcerer: have fun [09:29] AlanBell, have you been doing your duties as the grumpy games maker? [09:29] popey: not yet, I am doing paralympics [09:29] ah [09:30] got my uniform yesterday [09:30] is it sexeh? [09:30] christel says it is a bit camp [09:32] Haha [09:32] ahaha [09:32] it is [09:32] also when he wears the cap he looks like a camp mcdonalds employee [09:32] :o [09:33] i liked the shoes and the trousers mind [09:33] would you like fries with that? [09:33] AND THE CAMP WATCH [09:34] * bigcalm smirks [09:35] new favourite game on android: x-construction [09:35] bigcalm: they take uniform very seriously it appears! he modelled everything from socks to manbags and watches and umbrellas.. i can only assume they also kitted him out with special Olympics underpants! [09:36] Oh deary me [09:36] no, gamesmakers are not allowed to wear underpants [09:36] Heh [09:36] :P [09:36] * christel tickles AlanBell [09:37] that makes sense, we did notice a certain lack of undergarments in your laundry too actually [09:39] i am being subjected to mickey mouse in portuguese [09:39] it makes no sense :( [09:43] You have some odd tv channels [09:48] haha [09:50] or a strange child! [09:50] i had to go outside to Jump In Puddles earlier.. that was a wet start to my day [10:02] i don't think my child will know who mickey mouse is until he's a teenager [10:02] it all started when czajkowski brought him a mickey mouse t-shirt back from disneyland.. ;) [10:04] christel: a poor quality t-shirt? [10:05] haha nah it was alright (but then he is young enough to grow out of stuff before you have a chance to gauge the quality!) [10:06] mine know some of the disney characters but aren't obsessed by them as much as they are by other non-disney ones [10:06] sam is a massive octonauts fan [10:07] My kids love octonauts [10:07] Octonauts! To the launch bay! [10:08] \o/ [10:09] * bigcalm feels out of touch [10:09] It's all about Waybuloo! [10:09] Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [10:09] Tell that to an 11 month old :P [10:10] One of the ones i couldn't stand tbh [10:10] waybuloo must be written by someone on acid [10:10] it is seriously weird [10:12] they say that about all kids telly really [10:13] i dunno, i like postman pat! :D [10:13] we watch wallace and gromit once per day in my house [10:14] I'm not keen on the Postman, was okay back in the day ... but now :\ [10:14] There is some stuff i don't want them watching [10:14] I find it violent... [10:14] n1md4: it has been rather a few years, i might have romanticised ideas of it being wonderful :P [10:14] christel: modern Postman Pat or the shows from when we were children? [10:14] bigcalm: 80s pat! [10:15] \o/ [10:15] Is it a cartoon these days? [10:15] Or cgi or something? [10:16] david likes the gruffalo (a bit too much) and dr who.. bar that he is mainly disinterested in tv but ill watch like 2 minutes of whatever before diving off the back of the sofa or similar [10:16] Morning all [10:16] my kids aren't really into dr who [10:17] * christel gasps [10:17] i am considering disowning them [10:17] I would [10:17] i think he only likes it because he was forced to watch it when he was a newborn (it is probably mainly habit) [10:17] will try again this season [10:17] sam gets too scared [10:17] popey: let the brainwashing begin? [10:17] :P [10:17] though he runs around excitedly whenever he sees david tennant in anything else shouting DOCTOR DOCTOR [10:17] (and he is terrified of my remote control dalek...) [10:17] postman pat is still OK in my book [10:18] (and of slugs i have discovered.. ) [10:19] popey: your kids are super adorable -- they told me all about the Kitten [10:20] and we had a long discussion about how AlanBell didn't have a lot of spices.. which they figured meant that he was not as good at cooking as you are!! [10:20] :D [10:20] popey: I don't like the new one he just isn't dynamic enough, oh and the script writer for the Tennant Eccleston era left [10:20] (which i thought was dreadfully cute) [10:20] and accurate [10:21] but really, they were critical of the size of my spice rack? [10:21] they were! :P [10:22] i bet you're going to go buy ALL the spices now.. aren't you? [10:24] AlanBell: is it you who has the S3 or TheOpenSourcerer ? [10:24] davmor2: TheOpenSourcerer [10:24] christel: well I can't have popey having a bigger rack than me [10:24] wakka wakka wakka [10:24] did they? [10:26] haha, just asked them [10:26] they confirmed this [10:27] apart from nutmeg I have no clue what else is on the spice rack (or what could possibly be missing from it) [10:27] nutmeg is for rice pudding [10:28] FIVE SPICEEEEEEEEEEEE [10:29] * AlanBell feels a domain purchase coming on [10:31] cumin [10:31] some people say variety is the spice of life. they're wrong. it's definitely cumin. [10:32] +1 [10:32] all the variety one needs is "a little cumin? or a lot of cumin?" [10:32] (the answer is a lot, btw) [10:32] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida [10:32] required for that awful stink you need in your rack [10:33] also, for having something with "foetid" in the name [10:34] popey: :D [10:34] * AlanBell now owns ratemyspicerack.com [10:34] lol [10:34] Hahaha [10:34] lol [10:35] lol AlanBell [10:35] my spicerack is my wall cupboards bottom shelf [10:35] I have a whole shelf of spices [10:36] right, off to go on a choo choo train [10:36] ttfn [10:36] bb [10:36] choo choo \o/ [10:36] anyone know a good wordpress ratings plugin or something? [10:39] haha [10:42] Gah, just wet myself [10:43] Maybe I should invest in a sippy-cup [10:43] TMI [10:43] AlanBell: you know you have personal info showing on that domain ? [10:43] Poured my water mug over myself, managed to miss the keyboard thankfully [10:44] i have 2 spice racks. [10:44] 3 if you count the jars in the shelf above the cooker hood [10:45] diplo: yeah, just changing it to the office address === matt_ is now known as Guest62384 === It is now known as Guest94515 [11:20] bigcalm: why do you think sippy cup will stop you wetting yourself [11:21] davmor2: smaller opening [11:21] It'll stop me from wetting myself so much :P [11:23] :o [11:24] m [11:24] If I'm going to act like a baby, I should treat myself like one [11:24] er [11:24] yes no [11:24] Well I'm confused!] [11:24] my current mental imagery involves you in adult nappies [11:24] Nooo [11:24] and it is most disturbing [11:24] Yes, please stop that :P [11:25] i didnt MEAN to.. it just happens :( [11:26] christel: WHY? /me gets the mind bleach [11:38] Just realised that it's Wednesday. Why is the week going so quickly? [11:39] Lunch time I think [11:39] bigcalm: cause you are working so slowly :D [11:40] ¬.¬ [11:40] bigcalm: on a plus side steak tonight [11:41] Surf & Turf! [11:41] gord: so are you coming on Thursday? [11:52] STEAK \o/ [11:55] * christel makes plans to go to davmor2s for dinner tonight [12:00] what's side steak? [12:01] christel: it's the lug meeting so it's at the Moon Under Water but you're more than welcome :D [12:11] has anyone experienced an issue where you can't reply to certain people's text messages? [12:11] e.g. my wife cannot respond to a text from my mum, but i can on my phone [12:15] the mother in law filter [12:16] a premium feature [12:16] lol [12:16] if i get a sms from my mother in law i would be quite surprised... [12:17] she died in Jan [12:17] anyone done the basketball google game today? [12:18] mungojerry: 14 [12:19] 27 so far.. [12:19] 21 2nd play [12:25] davmor2: ooh lug steak ;) [12:38] * bigcalm returns to dream about tonight's steak [12:40] how do you like it? [12:41] Medium rare [12:41] nod [12:41] How do you like it? [12:41] cremated to hell and back [12:42] davmor2: noooo :( [12:42] meat should never be overcooker :( [12:42] overcooked* [12:42] bigcalm: depends on my mood, rare or medium rare [12:43] generally i find i season just before putting it on a properly hot pan and then just allow the sides to brown and then i put them in the oven for a couple of minutes until the meat swells [12:44] and then it is lovely and lush (particularly with a big dollop of homemade barnaise sauce) [12:44] * christel nods [12:45] christel: this is why I like chicken and turkey over meat, I can't eat fat so I have to cut every piece off, if it's pink or bloody I can't eat it, and yet when Mrs M does it it's lovely but is well done :) [12:45] aww [12:48] next week i intend to nom yummy birds [12:48] :o [12:48] i intend to hunt them and stalk them and shoot them and eat them :D [12:48] (lagopus and capercailie at that) [12:50] i er, that killed the conversation (and you're now all terrified of me because i run around with shotguns?) :x [12:51] christel: you can run with it as long as it's not loaded :P [12:51] haha [12:51] it is going to be very tasty :D [12:52] IF this passport arrives in the next 3 hours as promised... [12:53] christel: Muhahahahahahahaha you live down south right, you watch the olympics get the blame for it being late :D [12:53] grmbl :P [12:54] i have decided they're just all racist against norwegians :( [12:54] :( [12:55] yes :( [12:55] airport employees are you know [12:55] i always get singled out for Additional Security when i fly to the states [12:56] christel: maybe they want to get to know you better ;) [12:56] christel: change your surname to bloggs and you'll have no issues what so ever honest gov'nor [12:58] HALLELUJA [12:58] THE PASSPORT HAS ARRIVE [12:58] D [12:59] Wooooooooo!

[13:06] christel: David [13:06] Hah [13:06] Pendulum: Good Plan! [13:07] it would be a shame if he got left behind after all the passport fuss [13:07] i will need to bring him so that he can Carry All The Things [13:07] :D [13:07] christel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGL23HiyJc [13:07] * bigcalm distracts christel with dubstep [13:07] woop [13:08] i shall send ubuntu-uk a postcard [13:08] * christel nods [13:08] christel: I think you should make a video all about Norway for us :P [13:08] we have trolls :D [13:08] (in norway) [13:09] :D [13:13] under bridges? [13:13] christel: don't think that you can get away with just claiming that norway has them when it is quite obvious that the interweb is full o them [13:14] davmor2: I'd let christel claim anything she wants. Otherwise she might give you the mad face and that's scary. [13:15] * bigcalm nods [13:15] Pendulum: Nah she's too excited about holiday and passports to care right now afterwards I'd agree :) [13:16] davmor2: don't underestimate her. She'll get her revenge eventually ;) [13:17] Pendulum: Yeah but I have flame proof clothing from picking on czajkowski so I'm really not scared at all [13:17] haha [13:17] http://ratemyspicerack.com is kind of up and running [13:18] please send me pictures of your spiceracks :) [13:18] AlanBell: you are wrong, cinnamon sugar on Doughnuts [13:19] well that goes on *your* post! [13:19] AlanBell: broken image on 1st load of that site :) [13:19] bigcalm: on the thumbnail of the rack? [13:19] AlanBell: yes [13:19] that is twitpic's fault [13:19] No, I'd say it is the fault of the plugin for not linking to the correct location :( [13:20] what plugin? [13:21] oh hang on, that isn't right [13:21] Oh, you asked for a plugin before, was assuming that that's what was at fault :) [13:21] the plugin was for rating things, not for the twitpic thing [13:21] I see [13:24] davmor2: haha [13:27] how do you exec as a user without a shell? [13:29] jacobw2: Alt+F2 type in the command [13:33] davmor2: server [13:34] davmor2: i.e. i want to run mysql as the mysql system user [13:35] ah one for the popeys of the world I'm afraid [13:35] But he's on a train [13:36] i can't work out how upstart determines the mysql user [13:36] or any user it runs daemons as for that matter [13:37] jacobw2: usually that's controlled within the server's config - I know Apache does it this way [13:37] jacobw2: see if you can find a user/group option within my.cnf [13:40] bigcalm: mysqld refuses to run as root [13:40] jacobw2: I'm assuming that this isn't a vanilla Ubuntu server [13:41] bigcalm: it is, however, mysql-cluster isn't packaged in precise [13:41] Ah, I see [13:41] * jacobw2 has found a user=mysql line in a reference my.cnf [13:42] Does that user exist? [13:43] i think it's created by the mysql-server package [13:46] bigcalm: you're correct, daemons handle their own forking etc :) [13:46] Line 21 of /etc/init/mysql.conf has this in it: -o mysql -g root [13:47] I think that -o is the user to run the service as [13:47] I could be completely wrong. This is just me prodding things :) [13:48] jacobw2: you can do sudo su -s /bin/bash mysql [13:48] to get a shell as that user [13:48] AlanBell: yeah [13:59] hi [14:04] Pendulum: VOTE ON MY SPICERACK [14:04] so that ic an beat AlanBell [14:04] hi sebsebseb :) [14:08] christel: starting a campaign? [14:08] yes! [14:08] it is the "Christel has a better rack than AlanBell" campaign! [14:08] more spiceracks needed [14:09] hi christel :) [14:09] I would take a photo of ours, but it's rather extensive and I don't know everything that's in it (and can't reach most of the things to check) [14:10] Pendulum: please do! [14:10] it might take more than one photo [14:10] thats fine [14:10] can we post videos if we have complex spice arrangements? [14:10] hahaha [14:11] yes! infact lets do a cooking webcast [14:11] tonight can be cooking with directhex [14:11] i am a member of a tech forum, which a cooking subforum. because we were at a mod meetup once, and after a few beers, it seemed like a brilliant idea [14:12] directhex: sure, videos would be fine too (on some kind of embeddable thing) [14:12] directhex, christel: http://www.cookingforgeeks.com/ ? [14:12] "cooking with dogmatic69" ~= calling the nearest takeaway place :D [14:12] MartijnVdS: oooh [14:13] cooking is always a brilliant idea :D [14:14] http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-hotpot-cookery-discussion/ === gary is now known as Guest33649 [14:23] christel: Are you going to OGGCamp?

[14:27] (yes.. it is rather odd as far as meals go) [14:28] scandinavia is a bit weird foodwise [14:28] directhex: it's nice food wise :) [14:28] for yougurt very much so :) [14:28] i suspect y'all ferment fish as a workaround to the high price of fermented grain! [14:28] altough I supopuse most of Europe is like that really, except for the UK [14:28] hahaha [14:28] or grapes [14:28] or potatoes [14:28] or, well, things that are not fish, and are usually drunk [14:29] oooh i see a gap in the market [14:29] * sebsebseb will donate to the PDPC today probably [14:29] we need to find a fish that can live in alcohol [14:29] and then we can sell lutefisk vodka with live fishies in [14:29] or something [14:29] it'd be like awesomer than tequila with dead stuff [14:32] tiny ones ideally [15:07] * christel goes investigate kitchen for yummy things [15:10] ok [15:16] christel: Try Food I find it in the kitchen normally and it is yummy :D Especially the food in hobnob packets [15:17] :D [15:25] christel: I suggest ice cream or chocolate [15:28] Blimey, the user list has hardly changed since I was last here [15:29] * bigcalm returns with a pot noodle [15:30] mrnicelupe: when were you last here?
