of http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ 'Ubuntu Podcast'? [20:04] <MartijnVdS> I hope you're not field hockey fans \o/ [20:04] <MartijnVdS> NED 6-1 GBR [20:04] <bigcalm> Have we lost? [20:04] <bigcalm> Good [20:04] <MartijnVdS> bigcalm: 23 minutes to go, but it's 6-1 [20:05] <bigcalm> I am amused by NED though :D [20:05] <MartijnVdS> 7-1 [20:05] <MartijnVdS> Are they even trying? :P [20:08] <MartijnVdS> 8-1 [20:08] <bigcalm> Is this the final? [20:08] <MartijnVdS> semi- [20:08] <bigcalm> I think GBR have enough medals already [20:09] <bigcalm> Any more is greedy [20:09] <MartijnVdS> NED has a chance of winning gold on both men's and women's hockey [20:12] <SuperEngineer> hmm: velly interestink: http://www.linuxtoday.com/upload/ubuntu-12.10-might-ship-with-nautilus-3.4-instead-of-3.6-120808135004.html [20:14] <MartijnVdS> wooo @ tshark [20:14] <MartijnVdS> Change password in web interface [20:14] <MartijnVdS> Web interface asks to re-enter password [20:14] <MartijnVdS> Password wrong [20:14] <MartijnVdS> can't figure out correct password [20:15] <MartijnVdS> go "back" in browser, have it re-submit the "change password" form while tshark is running [20:15] <MartijnVdS> see password in dump file [20:15] <MartijnVdS> \o/ [20:15] <MartijnVdS> saves me a factory reset :) [20:19] <tonytiger> bigcalm: google juice [20:20] <Dave2> sounds tasty [20:20] <bigcalm> It does. But that doesn't say why the title lacks 'UK' [20:21] <bigcalm> Unless I'm missing something [20:22] <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 [20:23] <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. [20:26] <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? [20:28] <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 [20:29] <tonytiger> Launchpod and Burning Circle both seem dead [20:29] <tonytiger> ahayzen: Sure! [20:30] <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. [20:31] <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 [20:32] <ali1234> when was the first episode? [20:33] <Dave2> tonytiger, shame, I like both of the names. [20:34] <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 [20:35] <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 [20:36] <Azelphur> ali1234: 102.4kB >.< [20:36] <tonytiger> ahayzen: Thanks :D [20:37] <tonytiger> ali1234: March 2008 [20:50] <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 [20:51] <Azelphur> baobab pretty much is du, just in a fancy gui [20:55] <diplo> evening all [21:05] <bigcalm> Morning diplo [21:05] <diplo> :) [21:06] <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 [21:07] <bigcalm> Kids? [21:07] <diplo> Yep 2 :) [21:08] <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 [21:35] <bigcalm> Evening popey [21:36] <popey> pip pip [21:36] <popey> not staying long [21:36] <Azelphur> popey: you still use rsnapshot? [21:37] * 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? [21:38] <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 [21:39] <popey> Azelphur, checked the log? [21:39] <Azelphur> yea checked everything, ran it in verbose, etc [21:40] <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 [21:41] <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 [21:42] <Azelphur> what beach? [21:42] <popey> saturday afternoon ping me [21:42] <Azelphur> ok :) [21:42] <popey> paignton [21:42] <Azelphur> fun :) [21:43] <popey> very [21:43] <popey> nn [21:46] * bigcalm heads off to bed to read more Symfony2 documentation [21:46] <bigcalm> Toodles [21:53] <AlanBell> http://ratemyspicerack.com/suprengr/ [21:57] <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? [21:58] <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 [21:59] <mgdm> *and*, df is horribly inaccurate [21:59] <Azelphur> ali1234: ok say that happened, how would I fix it? [22:00] <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 [22:02] <Azelphur> ali1234: nope, unmounted everything and all the folders are empty [22:03] <Azelphur> maybe that issue is happening in /home? [22:03] <ali1234> maybe [22:04] <Azelphur> suppose I'll have to drop to a livecd to find that out [22:11] <Azelphur> ali1234, http://i49.tinypic.com/2ni3db6.png hmm, guess ghosted files is out? [22:12] <ali1234> yeah [22:12] <ali1234> looks like file system corruption then [22:12] <Azelphur> meep [22:13] <Azelphur> run fsck.ext4? [22:13] <ali1234> sure [22:13] <ali1234> fsck -n [22:14] <Azelphur> ali1234, sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 says the drive is clean [22:20] <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 [22:21] <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? [22:22] <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 [22:23] <Azelphur> shauno, http://pastebin.com/appB97Pw [22:28] <Azelphur> seems like we're out of ideas D: [22:29] <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 [22:31] <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 [22:37] <Azelphur> YAY FOUND IT [22:38] <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 [22:40] <Azelphur> there we go, 9.1GB used 97GB available, woo \o/ [22:48] <n1md4> Everything in 1 fs .... Ouch :P [22:48] <n1md4> It's all about no swap, and lvm! [22:49] <n1md4> (obv no lvm on /boot, that = headache!) [22:58] <Azelphur> n1md4, I don't do that? [22:59] * 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 [23:00] <Azelphur> in an attempt to figure out what was going on [23:00] <n1md4> although a 2nd look .... right ;) only just noticed! [23:01] <Azelphur> trying to squeeze more out of my 3ghz i7 [23:01] <Azelphur> it's been running stable at 4.2 [23:03] <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 [23:04] <n1md4> you oc from the bios? [23:04] <Azelphur> hehe [23:04] <Azelphur> n1md4, yep === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [23:46] <Seeker`> only 4.2? pfft [23:49] <Azelphur> Seeker`, I know man, it won't let me go any further [23:49] <Azelphur> it's being lame D: [23:49] <Seeker`> :( [23:51] <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 [23:52] <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 [23:53] * Seeker` has a 3930k @ 4.7GHz [23:54] <Azelphur> hehe [23:54] <Azelphur> it does 4.2 at only 1.325v though [23:54] <Azelphur> so, can't knock that [23:58] <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 [23:59] <Azelphur> says on the corsair site "tested voltage: 1.5v" in the specs

[07:18] * jacobw pours coffee for diplo [07:19] heh ta [07:21] +i doesnt mean you are identified [07:22] it doesn't? [07:22] it means others cant see what channels you are in when they whois you unless they are on same channels [07:23] i see :) [07:23] http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [07:24] ie. +i as invisible [07:24] i'm currently using irssi out of habit, i'm considering trying weechat [07:26] * TheOpenSourcerer got his dates messed up and now has no one to go and drink beer with this afternoon. Anyone fancy an impromptu session at the Great British Beer Festival (London Olympia)? [07:38] morning all [07:39] \o === gary is now known as Guest20901 [08:19] Morning all [08:19] \o [08:29] ubuntu one sharing working OK? [08:29] morning all [08:30] morning AlanBell [08:30] http://ubuntuone.com/0Q7iftpzYbSWU6hTQUcZTl shows as Could not locate object [08:31] what's the u1 irc channel please? [08:31] mungojerry: I see a picture of candy floss [08:31] #ubuntuone [08:31] weird [08:32] davmor2, ah, works now [08:32] i unpublished and republished, or miht just have been a monetary outage [08:32] momentary [08:32] morning all. Now in the office with no car and no one to go drinking with :-( [08:33] mungojerry: it isn't instant you have to give it a second or two [08:33] i published it last night [08:33] 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] possibly overwriting the publishing status [08:34] 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] TheOpenSourcerer: well I was going to work from home today seeing as you were not supposed to be in the office . . . [08:35] :-) [08:35] * AlanBell ponders drinkability of this afternoon [08:36] need moar spice racks http://ratemyspicerack.com [08:37] 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. [08:42] So is there anyway at all I can recover internet history from incognito mode in chrome? [08:42] I went on a website that was awesome but I cannot remember what it was called [08:42] extrasolar: if there is then that is a bug [08:43] :( [08:43] In that case, what would be the ideal present for a techy girlfriend? [08:45] you probably know her better than we do :) [08:46] I guess [08:46] extrasolar, does she like jewellery? [08:46] She does, but I was thinking of getting her a jokey nerdy present [08:47] Time for a thinkgeek raid :) [08:47] extrasolar: Take her to Venice or Rome for a long weekend. [08:47] pfffft [08:47] money [08:47] t-shirt from woot or threadless? [08:48] a crocheted ubuntu drinks coaster? [08:49] 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] oh wow [08:49] this has lots of ideas http://www.etsy.com/search?q=geek&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0&includes[]=tags [08:50] this is sweet..

[08:53] what's the issue you're having? [08:53] 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] I've found that installing flashplugin-installer works fine [08:53] I've found a lot of sites don't use flash anymore :) [08:53] youtube? [08:54] extrasolar, sign up to html5 on youtube [08:54] I don't think you need to [08:54] I think it defaults to html 5 if you don't have flash installed [08:54] if you have html5 and no flash it defaults [08:54] yeah, but chrome has flash builtin? [08:54] plays videos 2x as fast for me [08:55] I'm currently enjoying ff more than chrome [08:55] isn't that a setting? [08:55] i tried to like firefox again, but it hogs my machine [08:55] I like how chrome integrates everything [08:55] just fantastic [08:59] .. and sends it to google ;) [09:00] I am a bit worried about what google thinks of me [09:00] yes but what have I got to hide? [09:00] dunno about anyone else, but I get lots of adverts from mature dating UK [09:00] ads? [09:01] all these strange older women following me around the internet [09:01] ad blocker? [09:01] well they don't bother me that much, some of the pictures are quite amusing [09:02] AlanBell: you're not tempted by them? [09:02] Hmmm - I see mainly ads for Alfresco, and business car leasing. [09:02] 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" [09:03] This is great: https://twitter.com/sammcknight1/status/233294409519755265/photo/1 [09:03] I do see lots of alfresco adverts, that kind of makes sense [09:04] just curious what I have been up to to trigger the other lot [09:04] i mostly get adverts for high heeled shoes. guess i should stop looking for presents for the wife on the work laptop [09:04] you need to use private mode! [09:04] talkiing of twitter, any recommendations on who to follow, I'm new there [09:04] me me me :-) [09:04] gah, another advert for "50+ Dating" who do they think I am! [09:04] @opensourcerer [09:05] AlanBell: TheOpenSourcerer :P [09:05] @alanbell_libsol [09:05] cool [09:05] AlanBell: I get mature dating sites all the time aswell [09:05] you should follow @big_ben_clock [09:05] extrasolar: and anyone who posted their spice rack to http://ratemyspicerack.com/ [09:05] and @queen_uk [09:06] yes, @queen_uk will let you know when it's gin o'clock [09:06] Gosh - I now have 1514 followers. [09:06] ._. [09:06] Good morning peeps :) [09:06] TheOpenSourcerer: imagine that IRL [09:06] you have more followers than me? i officially hate you! [09:06] But you always did directhex ;-) [09:07] 1772 people have me in circles on G+ [09:07] ha [09:07] AlanBell: because you do BBQs right? [09:07] yeah, mostly [09:07] what does the ubuntu UK team leader do? [09:07] Wow - I am only in 217 peep's circles :-( [09:08] and Amanda Blain put me in a circle of geeks and shared the circle with over a million followers [09:08] who is Amanda Blain? [09:08] extrasolar: right now, chatting on IRC and having a coffee, and looking at a perplexing PHP error [09:08] Come on!!! Someone must fancy a giant piss up in London this afternoon? [09:09] it sounds like an important title to hav [09:09] e [09:09] There is business speak going on behind me. It all sounds so fake [09:09] TheOpenSourcerer: what time are you leaving? [09:09] Dunno yet - When I have someone to go with probably. [09:09] klout doesn't respect my insights on the congo any more either :( [09:09] I will keep spamming twitter, G+ and facebook for a little while longer [09:10] * AlanBell is a bit tempted [09:10] http://gbbf.org.uk/beers [09:10] MartijnVdS: she is quite googleable, I had never heard of her either until I got vast amounts of people following me one day [09:12] AlanBell: I still have no idea.. [09:13] davmor2: those headphones make you look like a 1960's alien [09:14] I'll have you know I landed in the 70's, ermm I mean was born in the 70's [09:14] Has anyone got any tips for networking with programmers? [09:14] I know the simple ones, irc, show github [09:14] Happy birthday to the alien davmor2 [09:14] but I still feel like I don't know any other programmers [09:14] bigcalm_laptop: Thanks dude [09:14] extrasolar: try coax [09:15] he [09:15] I think I've broken davmor2 [09:17] 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 [09:18] hmm the problem is I am in a town with a small population [09:21] Oooh - bendy phones coming soon? http://www.androidpit.com/analysis-is-samsung-sticking-a-flexible-display-in-the-galaxy-note-2 [09:23] good morning everyone. [09:26] Gosh - http://news.techeye.net/software/debian-dumps-gnome [09:26] TheOpenSourcerer: I would love to come out, but going camping in the morning :( [09:27] diplo: So what's the problem? ;-) [09:28] TheOpenSourcerer: that article is misinformation [09:28] heh, getting everything ready, that was the last 2 nights jobs and I have been *dragged* to the pub both nights [09:28] kicking and screaming? [09:28] Oh yes! [09:31] * bigcalm_laptop shakes his fist at cafe wifi [09:34] interesting, i just noticed in android google translate update, it can take a picture, pull the text, and translate. [09:45] davmor2 is being zapped by a 6(?) year old. He can't cope [09:46] bigcalm_laptop: Only cause apparently it's wrong to eat other peoples children [09:56] AlanBell: Are you still a bit tempted? [09:58] yes, still tempted, noon to 10:30 is a bit of a longer session than I had in mind though ;) [09:59] lol - Wasn't planning to be there *all* day... Would miss the train back anyway at that rate. [10:06] There's nothing more dangerous than a 6 year old girl with a sonic screwdriver [10:06] Today's Work Place Day has been made extra interesting [10:06] a 6 year old girl with two sonic screwdrivers? [10:06] :O [10:07] bigcalm_laptop: What about popey on the other side of a crowded room from the buffet? [10:07] a six year old girl with a squareness gun? [10:07] lol [10:11] so, what did nokia do with qt in 4 years? [10:12] feed it cake [10:12] mungojerry: Nearly go bankrupt? [10:12] 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] sells themselves off to MS. [10:13] * AlanBell wonders whether to scramble some eggs for lunch [10:14] Qt was also a dubious fit beforehand - maemo 5 was all Gtk [10:14] so rewriting the world in Qt for maemo 6, erm, meego harmattan? [10:15] AlanBell: Don't think! Do! [10:27] * jussi prods at AlanBell [10:28] * 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. [10:29] * AlanBell looks at jussi's rack http://ratemyspicerack.com/jussi01/ [10:31] TheOpenSourcerer: if you leave a ticket in the office I will come up to olympia later [10:31] Ticket for what? [10:31] oh, it is not ticketed? [10:31] the beer thing [10:31] beer olympics? [10:31] You can get them in advance or just buy them when you get there. [10:32] oh, fine in that case hopefully I will catch you later [10:32] OK. What time you off tomorrow? Will you be in the office tomorrow am? [10:33] yeah, flight is a late evening one [10:33] OK cool. [10:33] Today is "hat day" by the way - at the GBBF [10:34] I can do hats ;) [10:41] everyone rate my rack!!! http://ratemyspicerack.com/jussi01/ :D [10:45] is it always that tidy? ;-) [10:45] Laney: usually, yes [10:45] Who's site is the spice rack thingy? [10:45] what is yours like Laney? [10:45] dogmatic69: I wrote it yesterday [10:45] AlanBell: in carrier bags unfortunately [10:46] or to be more accurate, flung up a wordpress yesterday [10:46] AlanBell: cool, are you just doing a standard average on the ratings? [10:46] ah [10:46] I'll present it better when I move in a coupla weeks [10:46] dogmatic69: I think it is a baysian something or other [10:46] then you can… Rate. My. Rack. [10:50] 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] so that things don't jump to the top with a single 10 rating (I think) but I have turned that off for now [10:51] http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/08/09/free-official-ubuntu-book-for-approved-loco-teams-2/ anyone want a book? [10:52] AlanBell: yes please [10:53] think it might end up as a podcast prize [10:53] Oh, it's 1 per loco? [10:53] yeah [10:53] kitteh http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/09/kittycam_discovers_killer_cats/ [10:58] alright, lets get #ratemyspicerack trending on g+ :D [10:58] it froze my chrome browser :S [10:58] for about 1 minute [10:58] froze my machine [10:59] mungojerry: gosh [10:59] is it repeatable? [10:59] * mungojerry tries again [10:59] nope [11:00] after 1 min chrome said that the page was not responding kill/wait [11:00] probably the tweet loading thing [11:01] they hadn't loaded at all, so maybe [11:05] anyone know off the top of their head the approx numbers of people actively developing gnome/kde/xfce? [11:06] i think that elementary could steal gnome OS thunder (if either of them release a distro) [11:06] davmor2 has been beaten by the 6 year old girl [11:42] bigcalm_laptop: As I say you can't eat other peoples kids it's frowned on [11:42] davmor2: your own kids = fine though? [11:44] 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] davmor2: good point [11:51] has no kids .. anymore [11:51] kids clean the house? [11:51] lulz [11:51] like a whirlwind does [11:52] mungojerry: you have to bribe them with money [11:52] davmor2: s/money/food/ [11:54] moooo [11:54] christel: \o/ [11:55] * bigcalm_laptop tickles christel [11:55] hello christel, where are you? [11:55] i am in the skyyyy [11:55] :O [11:55] :D [11:56] and now a member of the IRC mile high club [11:56] Haha [11:56] i just cant resist you.. even when at many lots of miles high [11:56] haha [11:57] aww :) [11:58] turbulence confuses (scares) david! [12:00] as does being awake it seems.. what a boring child i have [12:01] Awww [12:02] being awake makes him scared & confused? [12:02] i dunno he went to sleep :p [12:02] sense, i make it [12:22] aaah aages to go yet :( [12:22] christel: how long? [12:23] hour and a half i reckon [12:24] you're going Far Far Away then [12:24] nah only been in air half an hour :p [12:24] christel: hello [12:29] can you use mobiles on planes now? [12:29] yes [12:29] how do they get signal? i struggle to get signal in tall buildings [12:32] picocell [12:32] but generally you can't use mobiles on planes [12:33] some have wifi though with a satellite uplink [12:33] ah, so they charge you for use? [12:34] very much so I think === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:36] we have a local gold postbox :D [12:37] having a frustrating day, as the WFHers are not responding [12:40] hellloooo davmor2 :D [12:41] i suspect it depends on airline, this one provides free wifi [12:41] christel: which airline is that? [12:42] norwegian :) [12:42] * AlanBell is going ryanair tomorrow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAg0lUYHHFc [12:42] * MartijnVdS will be going DB next week ;) [12:43] train to Frankfurt \o/ [12:43] and then [don't know yet] to Dublin in october [12:43] I'd recommend against a train to dublin ;) [12:44] shauno: Yes, that'll probably a plane :) [12:44] and probably a cheap one [12:46] hiya [12:47] * daubers will be driving up the m6 late next week [12:47] it's not fashionable to admit it, but I kinda like ryanair [12:51] [12:56] shauno, you're a terrible person [12:56] you say the nicest things :) [12:57] I've been in Ireland nearly 6 years now. ryanair are essentially my link to civilization [12:57] they themselves are uncivilized though [12:58] they're no worse than the busses. they're simply no better either [12:58] yeah, it is a flying bus [12:59] Until it's a flying catbus I'm not interested [12:59] okay, fine, no worse than busses [12:59] but i don't need to subject myself to an airport to go by bus [13:00] airports nowadays are such a horrid experience [13:00] you can hardly blame the airlines for that [13:00] 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 [13:02] christel: ! [13:08] one of the many reasons i don't fly [13:09] * MartijnVdS likes his new router [13:09] TP-Link WDR4300 (now with OpenWRT) [13:11] the wifi on my router might be crap. or maybe it's the laptop [13:13] 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] +1 [13:13] :) [13:14] wife does [13:14] free app with adverts, so you don't even need to give her 69p ;) [13:14] (It's a bit of a shame, as I'd happily pay for the app to remove the adverts) [13:15] does android market allow paypal payments yet? [13:16] If not yet, very soon [13:16] still haven't purchased an app in 2 1/2 yrs [13:16] if tey took paypal i would [13:17] because it would lower the barrier to entry [13:17] I hear good things about 'stripe' as a paypal alternative. [13:17] i don't wanna setup another service with my CC and bank a/c [13:18] I think I just put mine in to my google checkout config once [13:20] yeah i use google wallet [13:33] aw they are turning the net off to land! [13:34] christel: :( have a good time doing all those norwegian things ;) [13:35] i shall! no doubt stalk you soon (got another 7 hours of travel first mind! pfff!) xxx [13:35] haha [13:53] Cool [13:54] I bought an AP (a "pro" one) and it comes with a manual on how to install DD-WRT [13:57] is the rasp pi model A out yet? [13:57] no [14:02] what's a starter age for pi usage? [14:03] seems schools are using them for ~12 year olds [14:03] in clubs [14:03] what's this program scratch ? [14:04] is it in the repos? [14:04] one problem is that VGA monitors are plentiful [14:04] and rpi doesn't work directly with them [14:05] vga monitors are plentiful in houses of pack rats [14:05] TVs are more plentiful [14:05] they're in the houses of everyone [14:05] for schools, then vga monitors [14:05] i agree about houses though [14:06] you can't provide everything i know, but it's a barrier for lab fulls of rpi in schools [14:06] i don't get why VGA monitors are cheaper than DVI [14:06] i just gave away 20 vga flat panel mons [14:06] thats cheap [14:06] the display is digital, the source is digital, it's cheaper to add a DAC and ADC? [14:10] directhex: economies of scale? [14:10] i've seen a case that makes me want to buy a pi [14:10] i mock apple users for similar desires [14:11] 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] then how do u teach in the class though? [14:31] mungojerry, well, that's a question [14:33] i don't think the answer to that is hardware [14:33] how do you teach kids to think? [14:33] is that even the goal of the modern education system? [14:33] i didn't mean that [14:34] i just mean, a school is prob more likely to have access to vga monitors to run a lab [14:34] especially if they are given [14:34] yeah [14:34] and this "TVs are more common" thing [14:34] well yeah they are more common [14:34] now try using linux shell on a composite signal [14:34] i hope the kids have good eyesight [14:37] ali1234: kids have better eyesight :) [14:37] and of course there's the fact that a VGA signal can drive any TV with scart or composite [14:37] ali1234: it's the "trying to read over composite" that makes it worse :) [14:37] with only a passive adapter that is cheaper than the pi [14:38] for that matter a passive HDMI cable probably costs more than the pi [14:38] yes [14:38] then add on the VGA converter and you are looking at £60 [14:41] can you connect dvi to a telly? [14:41] i.e. would it have been better if the pi had dvi [14:41] DVI and HDMI are identical [14:41] all you need is a converter [14:41] passive converter* [14:42] i use a converter on my graphics card to convert dvi->vga [14:42] but people are saying that using a hdmi->vga converter would be either bad or £££ [14:43] i'd rather just have a general purpose high bandwidth dsp add on though, to be honest [14:43] that could do anything, pretty much [14:45] ali1234, wat? [14:45] ali1234, you know any TV made in the last decade has HDMI, right? [14:45] mungojerry, HDMI carries a DVI signal over a different form factor, they can be converted trivially [14:45] yes, and i know HDMI cables cost upwards of £30 if you buy them in a highstreet store [14:46] 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] 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] 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? [14:47] just putting a dvi port on it wouldn't help [14:47] ok, so it's more than a port [14:47] the chip isn't vga capable [14:47] mungojerry, DVI-I? fairly sure it wouldn't help since the broadcom chip has no VGA encoder [14:47] i see from directhex answer [14:47] so it would be a dvi-d port only [14:47] understand now [14:47] which is no different to hdmi [14:47] it is cheaper due to no licensing fees though [14:47] but it is also bigger [14:47] hdmi carries audio, right? [14:48] also, audio [14:48] yeah [14:48] there's no reason dvi-d cannot do audio [14:48] did that cotton candy box ever arrive, or the other rasp pi type box? [14:48] it's not in the spec, so no hardware on earth would deal with it [14:49]
