| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:19 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 08:19 |
| mungojerry | ubuntu one sharing working OK? | 08:29 |
| AlanBell | morning all | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | morning AlanBell | 08:30 |
| mungojerry | http://ubuntuone.com/0Q7iftpzYbSWU6hTQUcZTl shows as Could not locate object | 08:30 |
| mungojerry | what's the u1 irc channel please? | 08:31 |
| davmor2 | mungojerry: I see a picture of candy floss | 08:31 |
| AlanBell | #ubuntuone | 08:31 |
| mungojerry | weird | 08:31 |
| mungojerry | davmor2, ah, works now | 08:32 |
| mungojerry | i unpublished and republished, or miht just have been a monetary outage | 08:32 |
| mungojerry | momentary | 08:32 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | morning all. Now in the office with no car and no one to go drinking with :-( | 08:32 |
| davmor2 | mungojerry: it isn't instant you have to give it a second or two | 08:33 |
| mungojerry | i published it last night | 08:33 |
| mungojerry | and it was working, but i have a feeling that then my phone decided to do the batch upload of photos and overwrote it | 08:33 |
| mungojerry | possibly overwriting the publishing status | 08:33 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | mungojerry: FWIW I removed U1 from my machines. Chewed up resources and just didn't seem to work that well. Dropbox "just works". | 08:34 |
| AlanBell | TheOpenSourcerer: well I was going to work from home today seeing as you were not supposed to be in the office . . . | 08:34 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | :-) | 08:35 |
| * AlanBell ponders drinkability of this afternoon | 08:35 | |
| AlanBell | need moar spice racks http://ratemyspicerack.com | 08:36 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | It will take time to assemble mine - my "rack" is actually a large double door cupboard with everything in boxes (my wife's idea) which I now hate as it takes ages to get to everything. But I do have quite a lot of stuff in my rack. | 08:37 |
| extrasolar | So is there anyway at all I can recover internet history from incognito mode in chrome? | 08:42 |
| extrasolar | I went on a website that was awesome but I cannot remember what it was called | 08:42 |
| AlanBell | extrasolar: if there is then that is a bug | 08:42 |
| extrasolar | :( | 08:43 |
| extrasolar | In that case, what would be the ideal present for a techy girlfriend? | 08:43 |
| MartijnVdS | you probably know her better than we do :) | 08:45 |
| extrasolar | I guess | 08:46 |
| mungojerry | extrasolar, does she like jewellery? | 08:46 |
| extrasolar | She does, but I was thinking of getting her a jokey nerdy present | 08:46 |
| MartijnVdS | Time for a thinkgeek raid :) | 08:47 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | extrasolar: Take her to Venice or Rome for a long weekend. | 08:47 |
| extrasolar | pfffft | 08:47 |
| extrasolar | money | 08:47 |
| mungojerry | t-shirt from woot or threadless? | 08:47 |
| mungojerry | a crocheted ubuntu drinks coaster? | 08:48 |
| mungojerry | http://www.etsy.com/listing/91184032/geek-clock-ill-meet-you-at-pi-for-pie?ref=sr_gallery_17&ga_search_query=geek&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_includes[0]=tags&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=geek&ga_includes[]=tags | 08:49 |
| extrasolar | oh wow | 08:49 |
| mungojerry | this has lots of ideas http://www.etsy.com/search?q=geek&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0&includes[]=tags | 08:49 |
| mungojerry | this is sweet.. | 08:50 |

| mungojerry | last one i promise :D | 08:50 |
| SuperMatt | ambiance is looking a lot better these days guys | 08:52 |
| extrasolar | I'm fairly new to the linux world but already I am seeing a problem with flash | 08:52 |
| MartijnVdS | Flash is bad. | 08:53 |
| SuperMatt | what's the issue you're having? | 08:53 |
| extrasolar | I moved from ubuntu to debian today and the problem is still there. My laptop heats up quick when a youtube video is playing | 08:53 |
| SuperMatt | I've found that installing flashplugin-installer works fine | 08:53 |
| MartijnVdS | I've found a lot of sites don't use flash anymore :) | 08:53 |
| extrasolar | youtube? | 08:53 |
| mungojerry | extrasolar, sign up to html5 on youtube | 08:54 |
| SuperMatt | I don't think you need to | 08:54 |
| SuperMatt | I think it defaults to html 5 if you don't have flash installed | 08:54 |
| MartijnVdS | if you have html5 and no flash it defaults | 08:54 |
| mungojerry | yeah, but chrome has flash builtin? | 08:54 |
| mungojerry | plays videos 2x as fast for me | 08:54 |
| SuperMatt | I'm currently enjoying ff more than chrome | 08:55 |
| MartijnVdS | isn't that a setting? | 08:55 |
| mungojerry | i tried to like firefox again, but it hogs my machine | 08:55 |
| extrasolar | I like how chrome integrates everything | 08:55 |
| extrasolar | just fantastic | 08:55 |
| MartijnVdS | .. and sends it to google ;) | 08:59 |
| AlanBell | I am a bit worried about what google thinks of me | 09:00 |
| extrasolar | yes but what have I got to hide? | 09:00 |
| AlanBell | dunno about anyone else, but I get lots of adverts from mature dating UK | 09:00 |
| MartijnVdS | ads? | 09:00 |
| AlanBell | all these strange older women following me around the internet | 09:01 |
| extrasolar | ad blocker? | 09:01 |
| AlanBell | well they don't bother me that much, some of the pictures are quite amusing | 09:01 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: you're not tempted by them? | 09:02 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Hmmm - I see mainly ads for Alfresco, and business car leasing. | 09:02 |
| AlanBell | on http://www.dayinpix.com/ right now I see text adverts for "get your free horoscopes", "Older Dating UK", "love online" and "Over 40's dating" | 09:02 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | This is great: https://twitter.com/sammcknight1/status/233294409519755265/photo/1 | 09:03 |
| AlanBell | I do see lots of alfresco adverts, that kind of makes sense | 09:03 |
| AlanBell | just curious what I have been up to to trigger the other lot | 09:04 |
| directhex | i mostly get adverts for high heeled shoes. guess i should stop looking for presents for the wife on the work laptop | 09:04 |
| MartijnVdS | you need to use private mode! | 09:04 |
| extrasolar | talkiing of twitter, any recommendations on who to follow, I'm new there | 09:04 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | me me me :-) | 09:04 |
| AlanBell | gah, another advert for "50+ Dating" who do they think I am! | 09:04 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | @opensourcerer | 09:04 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: TheOpenSourcerer :P | 09:05 |
| AlanBell | @alanbell_libsol | 09:05 |
| extrasolar | cool | 09:05 |
| diplo | AlanBell: I get mature dating sites all the time aswell | 09:05 |
| directhex | you should follow @big_ben_clock | 09:05 |
| AlanBell | extrasolar: and anyone who posted their spice rack to http://ratemyspicerack.com/ | 09:05 |
| AlanBell | and @queen_uk | 09:05 |
| directhex | yes, @queen_uk will let you know when it's gin o'clock | 09:06 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Gosh - I now have 1514 followers. | 09:06 |
| directhex | ._. | 09:06 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Good morning peeps :) | 09:06 |
| MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: imagine that IRL | 09:06 |
| directhex | you have more followers than me? i officially hate you! | 09:06 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | But you always did directhex ;-) | 09:06 |
| AlanBell | 1772 people have me in circles on G+ | 09:07 |
| extrasolar | ha | 09:07 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: because you do BBQs right? | 09:07 |
| AlanBell | yeah, mostly | 09:07 |
| extrasolar | what does the ubuntu UK team leader do? | 09:07 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Wow - I am only in 217 peep's circles :-( | 09:07 |
| AlanBell | and Amanda Blain put me in a circle of geeks and shared the circle with over a million followers | 09:08 |
| MartijnVdS | who is Amanda Blain? | 09:08 |
| AlanBell | extrasolar: right now, chatting on IRC and having a coffee, and looking at a perplexing PHP error | 09:08 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Come on!!! Someone must fancy a giant piss up in London this afternoon? | 09:08 |
| extrasolar | it sounds like an important title to hav | 09:09 |
| extrasolar | e | 09:09 |
| bigcalm_laptop | There is business speak going on behind me. It all sounds so fake | 09:09 |
| AlanBell | TheOpenSourcerer: what time are you leaving? | 09:09 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Dunno yet - When I have someone to go with probably. | 09:09 |
| directhex | klout doesn't respect my insights on the congo any more either :( | 09:09 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | I will keep spamming twitter, G+ and facebook for a little while longer | 09:09 |
| * AlanBell is a bit tempted | 09:10 | |
| TheOpenSourcerer | http://gbbf.org.uk/beers | 09:10 |
| AlanBell | MartijnVdS: she is quite googleable, I had never heard of her either until I got vast amounts of people following me one day | 09:10 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: I still have no idea.. | 09:12 |
| bigcalm_laptop | davmor2: those headphones make you look like a 1960's alien | 09:13 |
| davmor2 | I'll have you know I landed in the 70's, ermm I mean was born in the 70's | 09:14 |
| extrasolar | Has anyone got any tips for networking with programmers? | 09:14 |
| extrasolar | I know the simple ones, irc, show github | 09:14 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Happy birthday to the alien davmor2 | 09:14 |
| extrasolar | but I still feel like I don't know any other programmers | 09:14 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm_laptop: Thanks dude | 09:14 |
| bigcalm_laptop | extrasolar: try coax | 09:14 |
| extrasolar | he | 09:15 |
| bigcalm_laptop | I think I've broken davmor2 | 09:15 |
| davmor2 | extrasolar: try hanging out in bars where programmers are, buy them beers till they are drunk and they will be your bestest friend till the end of the night at least | 09:17 |
| extrasolar | hmm the problem is I am in a town with a small population | 09:18 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Oooh - bendy phones coming soon? http://www.androidpit.com/analysis-is-samsung-sticking-a-flexible-display-in-the-galaxy-note-2 | 09:21 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 09:23 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Gosh - http://news.techeye.net/software/debian-dumps-gnome | 09:26 |
| diplo | TheOpenSourcerer: I would love to come out, but going camping in the morning :( | 09:26 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | diplo: So what's the problem? ;-) | 09:27 |
| AlanBell | TheOpenSourcerer: that article is misinformation | 09:28 |
| diplo | heh, getting everything ready, that was the last 2 nights jobs and I have been *dragged* to the pub both nights | 09:28 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | kicking and screaming? | 09:28 |
| diplo | Oh yes! | 09:28 |
| * bigcalm_laptop shakes his fist at cafe wifi | 09:31 | |
| brobostigon | interesting, i just noticed in android google translate update, it can take a picture, pull the text, and translate. | 09:34 |
| bigcalm_laptop | davmor2 is being zapped by a 6(?) year old. He can't cope | 09:45 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm_laptop: Only cause apparently it's wrong to eat other peoples children </troll> | 09:46 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | AlanBell: Are you still a bit tempted? | 09:56 |
| AlanBell | yes, still tempted, noon to 10:30 is a bit of a longer session than I had in mind though ;) | 09:58 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | lol - Wasn't planning to be there *all* day... Would miss the train back anyway at that rate. | 09:59 |
| bigcalm_laptop | There's nothing more dangerous than a 6 year old girl with a sonic screwdriver | 10:06 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Today's Work Place Day has been made extra interesting | 10:06 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | a 6 year old girl with two sonic screwdrivers? | 10:06 |
| bigcalm_laptop | :O | 10:06 |
| daubers | bigcalm_laptop: What about popey on the other side of a crowded room from the buffet? | 10:07 |
| directhex | a six year old girl with a squareness gun? | 10:07 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | lol | 10:07 |
| mungojerry | so, what did nokia do with qt in 4 years? | 10:11 |
| directhex | feed it cake | 10:12 |
| daubers | mungojerry: Nearly go bankrupt? | 10:12 |
| directhex | qt was clearly a terrible fit for nokia the moment they switched to WP7, and anyone who thought Qt still had a home at nokia was deluded | 10:12 |
| brobostigon | sells themselves off to MS. | 10:12 |
| * AlanBell wonders whether to scramble some eggs for lunch | 10:13 | |
| directhex | Qt was also a dubious fit beforehand - maemo 5 was all Gtk | 10:14 |
| directhex | so rewriting the world in Qt for maemo 6, erm, meego harmattan? | 10:14 |
| daubers | AlanBell: Don't think! Do! | 10:15 |
| * jussi prods at AlanBell | 10:27 | |
| * TheOpenSourcerer is going to go to Olympia. It's too nice and sunny to not go into a great big exhibition hall and drink loads of beer all afternoon. Will be on the 11:58 train from Farnham. | 10:28 | |
| * AlanBell looks at jussi's rack http://ratemyspicerack.com/jussi01/ | 10:29 | |
| AlanBell | TheOpenSourcerer: if you leave a ticket in the office I will come up to olympia later | 10:31 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Ticket for what? | 10:31 |
| AlanBell | oh, it is not ticketed? | 10:31 |
| AlanBell | the beer thing | 10:31 |
| mungojerry | beer olympics? | 10:31 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | You can get them in advance or just buy them when you get there. | 10:31 |
| AlanBell | oh, fine in that case hopefully I will catch you later | 10:32 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | OK. What time you off tomorrow? Will you be in the office tomorrow am? | 10:32 |
| AlanBell | yeah, flight is a late evening one | 10:33 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | OK cool. | 10:33 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Today is "hat day" by the way - at the GBBF | 10:33 |
| AlanBell | I can do hats ;) | 10:34 |
| jussi | everyone rate my rack!!! http://ratemyspicerack.com/jussi01/ :D | 10:41 |
| Laney | is it always that tidy? ;-) | 10:45 |
| jussi | Laney: usually, yes | 10:45 |
| dogmatic69 | Who's site is the spice rack thingy? | 10:45 |
| AlanBell | what is yours like Laney? | 10:45 |
| AlanBell | dogmatic69: I wrote it yesterday | 10:45 |
| Laney | AlanBell: in carrier bags unfortunately | 10:45 |
| AlanBell | or to be more accurate, flung up a wordpress yesterday | 10:46 |
| dogmatic69 | AlanBell: cool, are you just doing a standard average on the ratings? | 10:46 |
| dogmatic69 | ah | 10:46 |
| Laney | I'll present it better when I move in a coupla weeks | 10:46 |
| AlanBell | dogmatic69: I think it is a baysian something or other | 10:46 |
| Laney | then you can… Rate. My. Rack. | 10:46 |
| AlanBell | dogmatic69: just averages, the baysian thing was for minimum votes before it rates something I think http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/ | 10:50 |
| AlanBell | so that things don't jump to the top with a single 10 rating (I think) but I have turned that off for now | 10:50 |
| AlanBell | http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/08/09/free-official-ubuntu-book-for-approved-loco-teams-2/ anyone want a book? | 10:51 |
| bigcalm_laptop | AlanBell: yes please | 10:52 |
| AlanBell | think it might end up as a podcast prize | 10:53 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Oh, it's 1 per loco? | 10:53 |
| AlanBell | yeah | 10:53 |
| AlanBell | kitteh http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/09/kittycam_discovers_killer_cats/ | 10:53 |
| jussi | alright, lets get #ratemyspicerack trending on g+ :D | 10:58 |
| mungojerry | it froze my chrome browser :S | 10:58 |
| mungojerry | for about 1 minute | 10:58 |
| mungojerry | froze my machine | 10:58 |
| AlanBell | mungojerry: gosh | 10:59 |
| AlanBell | is it repeatable? | 10:59 |
| * mungojerry tries again | 10:59 | |
| mungojerry | nope | 10:59 |
| mungojerry | after 1 min chrome said that the page was not responding kill/wait | 11:00 |
| AlanBell | probably the tweet loading thing | 11:00 |
| mungojerry | they hadn't loaded at all, so maybe | 11:01 |
| mungojerry | anyone know off the top of their head the approx numbers of people actively developing gnome/kde/xfce? | 11:05 |
| mungojerry | i think that elementary could steal gnome OS thunder (if either of them release a distro) | 11:06 |
| bigcalm_laptop | davmor2 has been beaten by the 6 year old girl | 11:06 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm_laptop: As I say you can't eat other peoples kids it's frowned on </troll> | 11:42 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: your own kids = fine though? | 11:42 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: why would you eat your own who makes the drinks, does the garden and cleans the house then?????? :D Note (/me has no kids) | 11:44 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: good point | 11:44 |
| shauno | has no kids .. anymore | 11:51 |
| mungojerry | kids clean the house? | 11:51 |
| AlanBell | lulz | 11:51 |
| mungojerry | like a whirlwind does | 11:51 |
| davmor2 | mungojerry: you have to bribe them with money | 11:52 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: s/money/food/ | 11:52 |
| christel | moooo | 11:54 |

| christel | i just cant resist you.. even when at many lots of miles high | 11:56 |
| christel | haha | 11:56 |
| MartijnVdS | aww :) | 11:57 |
| christel | turbulence confuses (scares) david! | 11:58 |
| christel | as does being awake it seems.. what a boring child i have | 12:00 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Awww | 12:01 |
| MartijnVdS | being awake makes him scared & confused? | 12:02 |
| christel | i dunno he went to sleep :p | 12:02 |
| christel | sense, i make it | 12:02 |
| christel | aaah aages to go yet :( | 12:22 |

| MartijnVdS | you're going Far Far Away then | 12:24 |
| christel | nah only been in air half an hour :p | 12:24 |
| davmor2 | christel: hello | 12:24 |
| mungojerry | can you use mobiles on planes now? | 12:29 |
| bootini | yes | 12:29 |
| mungojerry | how do they get signal? i struggle to get signal in tall buildings | 12:29 |
| AlanBell | picocell | 12:32 |
| AlanBell | but generally you can't use mobiles on planes | 12:32 |
| AlanBell | some have wifi though with a satellite uplink | 12:33 |
| mungojerry | ah, so they charge you for use? | 12:33 |
| AlanBell | very much so I think | 12:34 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| mungojerry | we have a local gold postbox :D | 12:36 |
| mungojerry | having a frustrating day, as the WFHers are not responding | 12:37 |
| christel | hellloooo davmor2 :D | 12:40 |
| christel | i suspect it depends on airline, this one provides free wifi | 12:41 |
| MartijnVdS | christel: which airline is that? | 12:41 |
| christel | norwegian :) | 12:42 |
| * AlanBell is going ryanair tomorrow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAg0lUYHHFc | 12:42 | |
| * MartijnVdS will be going DB next week ;) | 12:42 | |
| MartijnVdS | train to Frankfurt \o/ | 12:43 |
| MartijnVdS | and then [don't know yet] to Dublin in october | 12:43 |
| shauno | I'd recommend against a train to dublin ;) | 12:43 |
| MartijnVdS | shauno: Yes, that'll probably a plane :) | 12:44 |
| MartijnVdS | and probably a cheap one | 12:44 |
| Pendulum | hiya | 12:46 |
| * daubers will be driving up the m6 late next week | 12:47 | |
| shauno | it's not fashionable to admit it, but I kinda like ryanair | 12:47 |
| christel | 12:51 | |
| directhex | shauno, you're a terrible person | 12:56 |
| shauno | you say the nicest things :) | 12:56 |
| shauno | I've been in Ireland nearly 6 years now. ryanair are essentially my link to civilization | 12:57 |
| directhex | they themselves are uncivilized though | 12:57 |
| shauno | they're no worse than the busses. they're simply no better either | 12:58 |
| AlanBell | yeah, it is a flying bus | 12:58 |
| daubers | Until it's a flying catbus I'm not interested | 12:59 |
| directhex | okay, fine, no worse than busses | 12:59 |
| directhex | but i don't need to subject myself to an airport to go by bus | 12:59 |
| directhex | airports nowadays are such a horrid experience | 13:00 |
| shauno | you can hardly blame the airlines for that | 13:00 |
| directhex | it's like being rewarded for finishing cleaning the toilet by discovering a large vomit patch in the living room. going through the hell of airport security and ending up... on ryanair | 13:00 |
| Pendulum | christel: ! | 13:02 |
| mungojerry | one of the many reasons i don't fly | 13:08 |
| * MartijnVdS likes his new router | 13:09 | |
| MartijnVdS | TP-Link WDR4300 (now with OpenWRT) | 13:09 |
| directhex | the wifi on my router might be crap. or maybe it's the laptop | 13:11 |
| dwatkins | directhex: do you have an Android phone? This is handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en | 13:13 |
| diplo | +1 | 13:13 |
| diplo | :) | 13:13 |
| directhex | wife does | 13:14 |
| dwatkins | free app with adverts, so you don't even need to give her 69p ;) | 13:14 |
| dwatkins | (It's a bit of a shame, as I'd happily pay for the app to remove the adverts) | 13:14 |
| mungojerry | does android market allow paypal payments yet? | 13:15 |
| diplo | If not yet, very soon | 13:16 |
| mungojerry | still haven't purchased an app in 2 1/2 yrs | 13:16 |
| mungojerry | if tey took paypal i would | 13:16 |
| mungojerry | because it would lower the barrier to entry | 13:17 |
| dwatkins | I hear good things about 'stripe' as a paypal alternative. | 13:17 |
| mungojerry | i don't wanna setup another service with my CC and bank a/c | 13:17 |
| dwatkins | I think I just put mine in to my google checkout config once | 13:18 |
| diplo | yeah i use google wallet | 13:20 |
| christel | aw they are turning the net off to land! | 13:33 |
| Pendulum | christel: :( have a good time doing all those norwegian things ;) | 13:34 |
| christel | i shall! no doubt stalk you soon (got another 7 hours of travel first mind! pfff!) xxx | 13:35 |
| Pendulum | haha | 13:35 |
| MartijnVdS | Cool | 13:53 |
| MartijnVdS | I bought an AP (a "pro" one) and it comes with a manual on how to install DD-WRT | 13:54 |
| mungojerry | is the rasp pi model A out yet? | 13:57 |
| AlanBell | no | 13:57 |
| directhex | what's a starter age for pi usage? | 14:02 |
| directhex | seems schools are using them for ~12 year olds | 14:03 |
| directhex | in clubs | 14:03 |
| mungojerry | what's this program scratch ? | 14:03 |
| mungojerry | is it in the repos? | 14:04 |
| mungojerry | one problem is that VGA monitors are plentiful | 14:04 |
| mungojerry | and rpi doesn't work directly with them | 14:04 |
| directhex | vga monitors are plentiful in houses of pack rats | 14:05 |
| directhex | TVs are more plentiful | 14:05 |
| directhex | they're in the houses of everyone | 14:05 |
| mungojerry | for schools, then vga monitors | 14:05 |
| mungojerry | i agree about houses though | 14:05 |
| mungojerry | you can't provide everything i know, but it's a barrier for lab fulls of rpi in schools | 14:06 |
| directhex | i don't get why VGA monitors are cheaper than DVI | 14:06 |
| mungojerry | i just gave away 20 vga flat panel mons | 14:06 |
| mungojerry | thats cheap | 14:06 |
| directhex | the display is digital, the source is digital, it's cheaper to add a DAC and ADC? | 14:06 |
| daubers | directhex: economies of scale? | 14:10 |
| mungojerry | i've seen a case that makes me want to buy a pi | 14:10 |
| mungojerry | i mock apple users for similar desires | 14:10 |
| directhex | i don't think labs of pi are the way to go. every kid should have their own device, it's the only way to keep them interested/excited | 14:11 |
| mungojerry | then how do u teach in the class though? | 14:11 |
| directhex | mungojerry, well, that's a question | 14:31 |
| ali1234 | i don't think the answer to that is hardware | 14:33 |
| ali1234 | how do you teach kids to think? | 14:33 |
| ali1234 | is that even the goal of the modern education system? | 14:33 |
| mungojerry | i didn't mean that | 14:33 |
| mungojerry | i just mean, a school is prob more likely to have access to vga monitors to run a lab | 14:34 |
| mungojerry | especially if they are given | 14:34 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 14:34 |
| ali1234 | and this "TVs are more common" thing | 14:34 |
| ali1234 | well yeah they are more common | 14:34 |
| ali1234 | now try using linux shell on a composite signal | 14:34 |
| ali1234 | i hope the kids have good eyesight | 14:34 |
| MartijnVdS | ali1234: kids have better eyesight :) | 14:37 |
| ali1234 | and of course there's the fact that a VGA signal can drive any TV with scart or composite | 14:37 |
| MartijnVdS | ali1234: it's the "trying to read over composite" that makes it worse :) | 14:37 |
| ali1234 | with only a passive adapter that is cheaper than the pi | 14:37 |
| ali1234 | for that matter a passive HDMI cable probably costs more than the pi | 14:38 |
| mungojerry | yes | 14:38 |
| ali1234 | then add on the VGA converter and you are looking at £60 | 14:38 |
| mungojerry | can you connect dvi to a telly? | 14:41 |
| mungojerry | i.e. would it have been better if the pi had dvi | 14:41 |
| MartijnVdS | DVI and HDMI are identical | 14:41 |
| MartijnVdS | all you need is a converter | 14:41 |
| MartijnVdS | passive converter* | 14:41 |
| mungojerry | i use a converter on my graphics card to convert dvi->vga | 14:42 |
| mungojerry | but people are saying that using a hdmi->vga converter would be either bad or £££ | 14:42 |
| ali1234 | i'd rather just have a general purpose high bandwidth dsp add on though, to be honest | 14:43 |
| ali1234 | that could do anything, pretty much | 14:43 |
| directhex | ali1234, wat? | 14:45 |
| directhex | ali1234, you know any TV made in the last decade has HDMI, right? | 14:45 |
| directhex | mungojerry, HDMI carries a DVI signal over a different form factor, they can be converted trivially | 14:45 |
| ali1234 | yes, and i know HDMI cables cost upwards of £30 if you buy them in a highstreet store | 14:45 |
| directhex | mungojerry, you cannot carry VGA over HDMI, you need an active adapter with a DAC, and those cost far more than the pi itself | 14:46 |
| directhex | mungojerry, using a DVI->VGA adapter only works if the output socket is DVI-I, using spare pins on the DVI socket to send VGA data, which is then physically converted to a VGA socket | 14:46 |
| mungojerry | directhex, therefore dvi and hdmi are not identical, which takes me back to the oringal question, would the pi be better off with a dvi port? | 14:46 |
| ali1234 | just putting a dvi port on it wouldn't help | 14:47 |
| mungojerry | ok, so it's more than a port | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | the chip isn't vga capable | 14:47 |
| directhex | mungojerry, DVI-I? fairly sure it wouldn't help since the broadcom chip has no VGA encoder | 14:47 |
| mungojerry | i see from directhex answer | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | so it would be a dvi-d port only | 14:47 |
| mungojerry | understand now | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | which is no different to hdmi | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | it is cheaper due to no licensing fees though | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | but it is also bigger | 14:47 |
| mungojerry | hdmi carries audio, right? | 14:47 |
| directhex | also, audio | 14:48 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 14:48 |
| ali1234 | there's no reason dvi-d cannot do audio | 14:48 |
| mungojerry | did that cotton candy box ever arrive, or the other rasp pi type box? | 14:48 |
| directhex | it's not in the spec, so no hardware on earth would deal with it | 14:48 |
| ali1234 | for example the chromebox does not have hdmi ports | 14:49 |
| nja | What's up with this Ubuntu Book stuff? | 14:49 |
| mungojerry | maybe the ouya looks good for performance | 14:49 |
| nja | http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/08/09/free-official-ubuntu-book-for-approved-loco-teams-2/ | 14:49 |
| directhex | the ouya is an htc one x, with different form factor & hdmi port | 14:50 |
| nja | Can I get one? | 14:50 |

| kirrus | Hrm.. does anyone know how I can reload unity's menus? My clock seems to have gotten stuck at 0146 :/ | 14:52 |
| AlanBell | nja: I will order it and it will probably be given away as a prize on the podcast | 14:53 |
| mungojerry | sounds like best idea AlanBell | 14:53 |
| mungojerry | need to remember to download podcast again, sort of forgot since 2012 | 14:53 |
| * AlanBell was on the most recent podcast | 14:53 | |
| mungojerry | how does the DE on the raspi compare to say, an eee in real use? | 14:59 |
| AlanBell | performance is probably similar, if you want something to go fast then don't use either. | 15:00 |
| AlanBell | in real use the big difference is not having 600px vertical (unless you have some really odd hdmi monitor) | 15:00 |
| ali1234 | plenty of DE will run fine on either | 15:11 |
| ali1234 | just not any of KDE, gnome, unity | 15:11 |
| mungojerry | yes, i run lxde on my eee 701 | 15:12 |
| mungojerry | however keyboard and mouse always feel a bit sluggish | 15:12 |
| ali1234 | i expect the pi to be quite a bit slower than the eee though | 15:12 |
| Azelphur | some random company I've never heard of just bought qt o.O | 15:12 |
| ali1234 | but that is mainly due to the whacky graphics | 15:13 |
| Azelphur | http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/08/09/1340247/digia-to-acquire-qt-from-nokia | 15:13 |
| mungojerry | the aim is to port it to android & ios too | 15:14 |
| mungojerry | they already bought the qt licensing last year | 15:14 |
| ali1234 | it is already ported to android and ios | 15:14 |
| ali1234 | they just couldn't make it part of the official system because of microsoft | 15:14 |
| ali1234 | the work has been done since about a year | 15:15 |
| ali1234 | http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/necessitas/ | 15:17 |
| mungojerry | good idea though. whats the point of cross platform toolkkit that doesn't work on some of the most popular platforms | 15:41 |
| mungojerry | understand that ios has limitations due to closed nature of apple | 15:41 |
| mungojerry | hmm not sure we should be counting the medals won in 1908: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908_Summer_Olympics_medal_table | 15:58 |
| BigRedS | why not? | 15:59 |
| ging | because it was rigged | 16:00 |
| mungojerry | it's not in the same league | 16:00 |
| mungojerry | as this performance, taking into account the number of atheletes and countries | 16:00 |
| mungojerry | it's a bit like when real madrid say they won the european champions league title certain years that hardly count either | 16:01 |
| BigRedS | It depends why you're counting it and what you determining the count to mean, I suppose | 16:01 |
| mungojerry | i wonder how many golds USA would have in 2012 if you took out the swimming | 16:01 |
| zleap | i remember someone i worked with who was from liverpool saying that man u's 1999 win didn't count as the weren't champions and yet when livepool won as non champions it counted | 16:02 |
| BigRedS | I keep meaning to compile an if-we-still-had-Empire table | 16:02 |
| zleap | we have the commonweath games for that | 16:02 |
| zleap | and back then i think we called it the empire games | 16:03 |
| mungojerry | swimming gives a disproportionate amount of medals | 16:03 |
| zleap | which is odd givjng that swimming is one of the most accesible sports, not like you need any special equipment | 16:03 |
| mungojerry | big feed like flippers helps | 16:04 |
| mungojerry | feet | 16:04 |
| zleap | maybe | 16:05 |
| ging | 1 in 3 americans can't even swim | 16:05 |
| mungojerry | ethiopia has only 1 swimming pool per 6 m people | 16:05 |
| mungojerry | i could possibly do a length but i'd need a rest and bend my cramp toes back into position | 16:05 |
| zleap | what about lakes etc if you live near a lake you can swim in most places, (ok you need to be care of predators i guess) | 16:06 |
| mungojerry | swimming does give too many medals, and it shows that you often get multi medal winners winnign 5 golds | 16:06 |
| ging | there are not that many lakes in ethiopia | 16:06 |
| zleap | ok | 16:06 |
| zleap | maybe generally then | 16:06 |
| mungojerry | phelps is not the greatest olympian, the wimming races are all too similar | 16:06 |
| zleap | in terms of actual equipment needed | 16:07 |
| zleap | compared to say rugby, soccer, football, sailing, etc | 16:07 |
| mungojerry | football just needs a pigs bladder and some jumpers for goalposts | 16:08 |
| zleap | ok | 16:08 |
| ging | you could use a pile of dust for goal posts | 16:08 |
| mungojerry | true | 16:08 |
| zleap | yeah | 16:08 |
| mungojerry | or a dog | 16:08 |
| ging | maybe a dead dog | 16:09 |
| zleap | i was thinking football being american football (hence i also said soccer) but for the latter you don't need goalposts | 16:09 |
| zleap | i am off for food chat later | 16:10 |
| ging | kabaddi | 16:10 |
| ging | you don't need anything for that | 16:10 |
| ging | it's like rugby without a ball | 16:10 |
| zleap | you need a ball for football | 16:11 |
| BigRedS | zleap: nah, commonwealth games is for competition between the commonwealth. I mean the UK turning up at the 'lympics with US, Aus, NZ etc. on our side | 16:17 |
| BigRedS | but different selections of countries for different years | 16:17 |

| tonytiger | Hi all | 17:10 |
| tonytiger | I just had to kill an endlessly respawning python process on the ubuntu-uk server that was eating all the RAM and swap | 17:11 |
| tonytiger | It seemed to be to do with the planet | 17:11 |
| tonytiger | Not sure who might care about it. | 17:11 |
| tonytiger | Hmm, now lighttpd is not responding... | 17:19 |
| tonytiger | Rebooting. | 17:21 |
| * tonytiger wonders vaguely when the server will reappear | 17:23 | |
| tonytiger | Not yet, it seems. | 17:26 |
| tonytiger | AlanBell: ping | 17:26 |
| drussell | tonytiger: oops :o) | 17:27 |
| tonytiger | drussell: yeah | 17:28 |
| tonytiger | I don't have console access to that server | 17:28 |
| tonytiger | Not sure who does | 17:29 |
| tonytiger | Actually, Daviey probably does | 17:29 |
| Guest44969 | hunter86 uk | 17:30 |
| tonytiger | Well, either way it isn't coming back on its own... | 17:32 |
| bigcalm | Good afternoon peeps :) | 17:34 |
| bigcalm | What have I missed today? | 17:34 |
| tonytiger | I rebooted the ubuntu uk server and it's not coming back. | 17:35 |
| bigcalm | tonytiger: good think it's not sysadmin day then ;) | 17:35 |
| bigcalm | s/think/thing | 17:36 |
| tonytiger | I need someone with console access to the bitfolk account to have a look at it | 17:36 |
| bigcalm | Where's a popey when you need one? | 17:37 |
| bigcalm | tonytiger: you could tickle grifferz and ask nicely :) | 17:38 |
| tonytiger | Yeah, worth a shot | 17:38 |
| tonytiger | I've left him a prv, but he's not around | 17:40 |
| AlanBell | hi tonytiger | 18:25 |
| tonytiger | AlanBell: the box is back | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | But there are some problems with it | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | Well, | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | nothing urgent | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | but some config issues | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | Shall I email them? | 18:26 |
| AlanBell | um, wonder if I have access, I might do | 18:26 |
| tonytiger | Heh | 18:27 |
| tonytiger | It needed someone with console access | 18:27 |
| tonytiger | grifferz helped me out | 18:27 |

| Azelphur | popey: are you still using rsnapshot? | 18:56 |
| andypiper | clearly Ubuntu UK need to do a lot of work to infiltrate Young Rwired State. Most kids at my centre this week using Win and Mac | 18:57 |
| andypiper | only 1/15 using UbOOOntu | 18:57 |
| MartijnVdS | andypiper: poor kids | 18:57 |
| andypiper | I blame the loco leadership…. :-P | 18:57 |
| MartijnVdS | andypiper: how can you code on Windows?! | 18:57 |
| andypiper | "code" == html, css, javascript in many cases :-( | 18:57 |
| andypiper | (yes yes yes I know) | 18:58 |
| ali1234 | what is your point? | 18:58 |
| ali1234 | windows has two different scripting languages built into the shell | 18:58 |
| ali1234 | one of them is javascript | 18:58 |
| ali1234 | writing html5 applications is no more or less valid than using any other high level scripting language | 18:59 |
| ali1234 | it certainly makes more sense than using .net | 19:00 |

| tonytiger | bigcalm: google juice | 20:19 |
| Dave2 | sounds tasty | 20:20 |
| bigcalm | It does. But that doesn't say why the title lacks 'UK' | 20:20 |
| bigcalm | Unless I'm missing something | 20:21 |
| tonytiger | Generally we brand it "Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo" | 20:22 |
| bigcalm | A podcast aggregater? | 20:22 |
| tonytiger | We refer to the show as Ubuntu UK Podcast on the show because it's easier to say | 20:22 |
| bigcalm | I see | 20:22 |
| tonytiger | and we've kept the ID3 tags the same too | 20:22 |
| Dave2 | UPFTUKLC is slightly less snappy than UUPC | 20:23 |
| Dave2 | er, UPCFTUKLC | 20:23 |
| tonytiger | lol | 20:23 |
| Dave2 | I guess it'd actually be UPCFTULC | 20:23 |
| Dave2 | That's my final answer. | 20:23 |
| tonytiger | We're the top hit on google for Ubuntu Podcast now, which we weren't for years. | 20:26 |
| tonytiger | Even in a signed-out-of-google browser | 20:26 |
| bigcalm | Are there any other Ubuntu podcasts out there? | 20:26 |
| ahayzen | tonytiger, is it the 100th episode next week? | 20:26 |
| tonytiger | ahayzen: yup! | 20:28 |
| ahayzen | tonytiger, u still looking for suggestions? u said something on G+? | 20:28 |
| tonytiger | bigcalm: judging by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Podcasts only Full Circle | 20:28 |
| tonytiger | Launchpod and Burning Circle both seem dead | 20:29 |
| tonytiger | ahayzen: Sure! | 20:29 |
| ahayzen | tonytiger, I was thinking you could talk about what ubuntu was like at the 1st episode and wht it is like now and how it has changed over the past few years. | 20:30 |
| ali1234 | bit negative? | 20:31 |
| ahayzen | I look back to 9.04 (my first Ubuntu version) and it is totally different now ... like unity, Gtk3, GNOME3 etc ... Ubuntu has come a long was just in 3yrs... and it keeps getting better :D | 20:31 |
| tonytiger | ali1234: heh | 20:31 |
| tonytiger | ahayzen: good idea | 20:31 |
| ali1234 | when was the first episode? | 20:32 |
| Dave2 | tonytiger, shame, I like both of the names. | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | o.O, I have 111.4GB used in my / partition (separate home) how on earth did this madness happen o.O | 20:34 |
| Azelphur | redundant accidental smilies :( | 20:34 |
| ali1234 | probably a var explosion | 20:34 |
| ali1234 | like you made a 100GB mysql database | 20:34 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: appears not, I'm running a baobab scan atm and it says /var is 1.5GB | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | or you attempted to send a large amount of email | 20:35 |
| ahayzen | tonytiger, anyways congratulations on getting to 100 episodes, a lot of time must have gone into recording/preparing etc :D | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | or something is flooding the logs | 20:35 |
| Azelphur | nope, 1.5GB /var | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | well it's /tmp then | 20:35 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: 102.4kB >.< | 20:36 |
| tonytiger | ahayzen: Thanks :D | 20:36 |
| tonytiger | ali1234: March 2008 | 20:37 |
| soreau | Azelphur: du -hs /* | 20:50 |
| Azelphur | soreau: yea, I'm using baobab to find out what's going on now, it just takes a while to run :) | 20:50 |
| soreau | and keep following the high consumption paths until you find the data | 20:50 |
| soreau | Azelphur: du ftw | 20:50 |
| Azelphur | baobab pretty much is du, just in a fancy gui | 20:51 |
| diplo | evening all | 20:55 |
| bigcalm | Morning diplo | 21:05 |
| diplo | :) | 21:05 |
| diplo | Just finished packing car for camping trip | 21:06 |
| diplo | Hope I've not forgotten anything | 21:06 |
| diplo | just food/clothes for the morning | 21:06 |
| bigcalm | Kids? | 21:07 |
| diplo | Yep 2 :) | 21:07 |
| diplo | That's the scary bit :D | 21:08 |
| bigcalm | Don't forget them | 21:08 |
| diplo | No chance of that, they are close to exploding point they are so excited | 21:08 |
| diplo | Didn't think I'd get them to sleep | 21:08 |
| bigcalm | Evening popey | 21:35 |
| popey | pip pip | 21:36 |
| popey | not staying long | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | popey: you still use rsnapshot? | 21:36 |
| * bigcalm thinks that Claire is getting ready for bed and popey is making the most of the personal time ;P | 21:37 | |
| bigcalm | And I still don't know how to spell her name, do I? | 21:37 |
| popey | hah | 21:38 |
| popey | Azelphur, yes | 21:38 |
| popey | bigcalm, not quite, got an urgent mail from work | 21:38 |
| Azelphur | popey: it stopped working for me, it moves the files but never runs rsync :( | 21:38 |
| bigcalm | Eugh | 21:38 |
| popey | Azelphur, checked the log? | 21:39 |
| Azelphur | yea checked everything, ran it in verbose, etc | 21:39 |
| Azelphur | it just shows it doing the rm and mv operations, and then not rsyncing anything. | 21:40 |
| popey | interesting | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 21:40 |
| popey | wfm on 12.04 | 21:40 |
| popey | checked it yesterday | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | any chance I could nab a copy of your config? | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | maybe if I start from your config, then I have a "known working" base as it were | 21:40 |
| popey | not easy to do right now | 21:41 |
| popey | am just off to bed, and on 3g | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | ok, maybe tomorrow :) | 21:41 |
| popey | unlikely, i'll be on a beach | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | what beach? | 21:42 |
| popey | saturday afternoon ping me | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | ok :) | 21:42 |
| popey | paignton | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | fun :) | 21:42 |
| popey | very | 21:43 |
| popey | nn | 21:43 |
| * bigcalm heads off to bed to read more Symfony2 documentation | 21:46 | |
| bigcalm | Toodles | 21:46 |
| AlanBell | http://ratemyspicerack.com/suprengr/ | 21:53 |
| Azelphur | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/screenshots/2012/August/2012-08-09-225721_1235x485_scrot.png anyone have any idea how this is happening? | 21:57 |
| ali1234 | you copied files to a disk that wasn't mounted, as root | 21:58 |
| Azelphur | eh? | 21:58 |
| ali1234 | then mounted the disk, shadowing the files | 21:58 |
| Azelphur | I havn't messed with mount | 21:58 |
| ali1234 | that is not necessary | 21:58 |
| mgdm | also, often filesystems reserve X percent of space for the root user | 21:58 |
| mgdm | *and*, df is horribly inaccurate | 21:59 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: ok say that happened, how would I fix it? | 21:59 |
| ali1234 | manually unmount the partitions mounted in media and then look inside the mountpoints | 22:00 |
| ali1234 | manually as in with umount | 22:00 |
| Azelphur | oh, I understand what your saying now | 22:00 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: nope, unmounted everything and all the folders are empty | 22:02 |
| Azelphur | maybe that issue is happening in /home? | 22:03 |
| ali1234 | maybe | 22:03 |
| Azelphur | suppose I'll have to drop to a livecd to find that out | 22:04 |
| Azelphur | ali1234, http://i49.tinypic.com/2ni3db6.png hmm, guess ghosted files is out? | 22:11 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 22:12 |
| ali1234 | looks like file system corruption then | 22:12 |
| Azelphur | meep | 22:12 |
| Azelphur | run fsck.ext4? | 22:13 |
| ali1234 | sure | 22:13 |
| ali1234 | fsck -n | 22:13 |
| Azelphur | ali1234, sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 says the drive is clean | 22:14 |
| shauno | have you tried "df /" and "df -i /" ? if you have a lot of small files, you can run out of blocks & inodes long before you actually run out of 'space' | 22:20 |
| * Laney has tandem lust: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAWES-SUPER-GALAXY-TOURING-TANDEM-REYNOLDS-531-FRAME-/110930741474?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item19d3fcc8e2 | 22:20 | |
| Azelphur | shauno, trying that now | 22:20 |
| shauno | it's fairly rare under regular usage, but you don't always strike me as 'regular' ;) | 22:21 |
| Azelphur | yea, I'm weird | 22:21 |
| Azelphur | Inodes 7317520, Iused 616965, IFree 6700555 | 22:21 |
| Azelphur | is that bad? | 22:21 |
| shauno | nope, that's plenty | 22:22 |
| Azelphur | plenty as in normal or plenty as in we've isolated the problem? XD | 22:22 |
| shauno | normal, sadly | 22:22 |
| Azelphur | gah | 22:22 |
| Azelphur | shauno, http://pastebin.com/appB97Pw | 22:23 |
| Azelphur | seems like we're out of ideas D: | 22:28 |
| shauno | that 0 blocks free is why things are reporting 100%. (your inode count is fine though; or better than fine, that's a lot of large files, not a lot of small files) | 22:29 |
| shauno | and it does look like you have 5% or so reserved for root. you can knock that off with tune2fs, but it's still not a whole lot of margin to play with | 22:29 |
| Azelphur | shauno, yea, but I actually have less than 10GB of data on this drive | 22:31 |
| Azelphur | and it's a 120GB drive | 22:31 |
| christel | meeeep | 22:31 |
| Azelphur | yea | 22:31 |
| Azelphur | YAY FOUND IT | 22:37 |
| Azelphur | rsnapshot created a backup of a bunch of stuff in /var/ and the files are owned by root so baobab couldn't even see them | 22:38 |
| Azelphur | there we go, 9.1GB used 97GB available, woo \o/ | 22:40 |
| n1md4 | Everything in 1 fs .... Ouch :P | 22:48 |
| n1md4 | It's all about no swap, and lvm! | 22:48 |
| n1md4 | (obv no lvm on /boot, that = headache!) | 22:49 |
| Azelphur | n1md4, I don't do that? | 22:58 |
| * Azelphur is also taking the opportunity to overclock more | 22:59 | |
| n1md4 | just that pastebin, only sda1 | 22:59 |
| Azelphur | n1md4, was in a livecd so I could unmount things | 22:59 |
| Azelphur | in an attempt to figure out what was going on | 23:00 |
| n1md4 | although a 2nd look .... right ;) only just noticed! | 23:00 |
| Azelphur | trying to squeeze more out of my 3ghz i7 | 23:01 |
| Azelphur | it's been running stable at 4.2 | 23:01 |
| n1md4 | I've an i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz ... I feel puny :P | 23:03 |
| n1md4 | laptop though, and already runs warm! | 23:03 |
| n1md4 | 72C apparently | 23:03 |
| n1md4 | you oc from the bios? | 23:04 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 23:04 |
| Azelphur | n1md4, yep | 23:04 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| Seeker` | only 4.2? pfft | 23:46 |
| Azelphur | Seeker`, I know man, it won't let me go any further | 23:49 |
| Azelphur | it's being lame D: | 23:49 |
| Seeker` | :( | 23:49 |
| Azelphur | Seeker`, pushed the voltage all the way up to 1.45, as high as I'm willing to go lol | 23:51 |
| Seeker` | ouch | 23:51 |
| Seeker` | what sort of i7? | 23:51 |
| Azelphur | 950 | 23:51 |
| Seeker` | ah, ok | 23:51 |
| Azelphur | oh wait here we go, it booted at 4.4 :O | 23:51 |
| * Azelphur begins stress testing | 23:51 | |
| Azelphur | I have a feeling my CPU temp is gonna be a bit too high at this voltage | 23:52 |
| Azelphur | lol, and there's the crash | 23:52 |
| Azelphur | so yea, 4.2 is as far as this will go | 23:52 |
| * Seeker` has a 3930k @ 4.7GHz | 23:53 | |
| Azelphur | hehe | 23:54 |
| Azelphur | it does 4.2 at only 1.325v though | 23:54 |
| Azelphur | so, can't knock that | 23:54 |
| Azelphur | Seeker`, hmm, I think my ram is rated for 1.5v and my bios only has it set at 1.43 | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | "QPI/DRM Core Voltage: 1.43750" the bios says, and my ram is corsair vengeance ddr3 1600 | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | says on the corsair site "tested voltage: 1.5v" in the specs | 23:59 |
