TheOpenSourcererNo. :-(08:41
christeloh :(08:42
TheOpenSourcererThey are in the greenhouse - I have a few fruit but not much.08:42
TheOpenSourcererThe seedlings did something very odd early on. They just "stopped" growing for about 2-3 months.08:42
TheOpenSourcererDidn't die. Just stopped. Only at the 2-leaf stage. So the plants are now well behind and have little chance of catching up before the end of the season.08:43
christelhow bizarre08:43
bigcalmHow do you find out which branch a git repo is using from the CLI?08:47
directhexbigcalm, "git branch", the one with a star next to it?08:48
bigcalmdirecthex: ta08:49
bigcalmUg, I can't tell if it's the project's information I'm getting or the sub-repo08:50
* bigcalm kippers technical things08:50
czajkowskibigcalm: sort out a plan B yet08:55
bigcalmczajkowski: not yet. I want to discuss with my boss and see what he's willing to provide08:55
czajkowskibigcalm: you work from home you provide :)08:56
bigcalmczajkowski: maybe with your company :)08:56
czajkowskibigcalm: every company :)08:57
czajkowskidell install a logged on laptops08:57
brobostigongood morning everyone.09:06
mungojerrydoes gnote offer web sync like tomboy yet?09:18
mungojerryhmmm looks like it will come soon "  * Added core synchronization support"09:20
directhexweb sync is much harder than file sync09:23
mungojerryssh and web dav sync is done already09:31
mungojerryso looks like they are progressing09:31
mungojerryhaven't seen any discussion on a devs list about it though, would be nice to see milestones etc09:32
popeygnote has promised web sync since it was started09:33
popeyand has as yet not delivered09:33
mungojerrypopey, as yet no, but the sync stuff they have added has all been done in last 6 months09:33
mungojerryso are getting there, albeit a little slowly09:33
mungojerryi realised tomboy is the last mono app on my system09:34
popeyyou mean.. 6 months ago09:34
ali1234"patches welcome"09:34
mungojerryseparate releases over the last 6 months, the latest being july09:34
mungojerryjuly 0.9.1 added webdav sync09:34
popeyah ok09:35
mungojerryi have no major agenda against mono but a c++ app for such a useful yet small app fwould be welcome09:36
mungojerryotherwise it adds quite a lot of MB just for a note app09:36
mungojerrysimilarly i don't install digikam because it requires half of kde09:36
popeyyeah, i tried out gnote recently09:37
popeystill have it installed, but the lack of sync is annoying09:37
mungojerrywhich version?09:37
popeywhatever is in 12.0409:37
popeyi note 0.9 is in quantal09:38
popeyupdated a couple of weeks ago with those updates09:38
popeycould try installing that package to test the sync stuff09:38
mungojerrywebdav sync allows DIYers to use owncloud for sync09:38

popeythat installed okay on 12.0409:39
popeyand runs okay, and sees all my tomboy notes09:39
mungojerryu1 sync is pretty critical for me atm, as i use tomdroid onthe phone09:40
daubersI was almost tempted to run a web service using mono's asp.net implimentation. Then I realised I was being sentimental for when I used to work in Windows and forced myself to do it in the language I'm supposed to be specialising in09:40
* popey tries gnote for a week09:41
mungojerrypopey, how will you sync?09:42
popeyfiles to u109:42
mungojerryi thought you told me you did that once and it went BAD09:42
popeyhmm, status bar icon doesn't work09:42
popeydepends how you do it09:42
popeyi no longer sync to osx/windows09:42
popeyand only ever have gnote/tomboy open on one machine09:43
popeywhereas back then I had it open on all 3 platforms a lot of the time09:43
popeyso would get conflicts and notes would vanish as dropbox/u1 messed up09:43
mungojerryi see09:44

TheOpenSourcererno - wont the built-in gpu be enough?11:31
popeyfor what?11:32
TheOpenSourcererUnity & Minecraft11:32
popeymight have to dial down the detail on minecraft a bit11:32
popeydunno, i3 has a not-very-stellar GPU11:33
TheOpenSourcererHmm, ok. What about the AMD chips with the built-in Radeon then... Any good?11:33
popeyI wouldn't touch AMD Radeon with a very long very shitty stick11:34
TheOpenSourcererlol11:34
TheOpenSourcererhmm - http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-fusion-intel-core-i3_7.html11:34
popeyi5 3570K has nicer GPU11:35
TheOpenSourcererThat's way out of my price bracket for now.11:35
popeyi5 2320 has the same as the i3 you looked at11:35
popeyyeah, bit spendy11:35

ali1234wow, all those CPUs actually support it12:04
drussellTheOpenSourcerer: yeah I'd say that's not bad for the price12:22
TheOpenSourcererThink I'm going to grab a 2125 instead of the 2120 (better IGP)12:23
drussellTheOpenSourcerer: either way it'll be a HUGE step up from the AMD 3400+ ;o)12:23
drussellTheOpenSourcerer: I've got a low power/silent box which has the AMD A450 APU in it, and while for my purposes it's very good, I'd struggle to recommend it due to it requiring the closed source amd/ati drivers, radeon driver doesn't drive it enough yet12:25

drussellTheOpenSourcerer: me too (wrt RMSR) maybe later this week12:52

Dave2no, Thusday night/Friday morning14:48
bigcalmI see14:48
Dave2From what I can remember of sleeping in hotels, I'm horrible at it, regardless of anything else.14:48
Dave2At least, I failed at LRL 09, 08, and 07. I think they're the most recent times I've been in a hotel.14:49
Dave2Maybe not the most representative14:49
gordthe trick is to stay awake drinking all night until you are so tired you fall asleep instantly14:50
Dave2That doesn't work for me :(14:51

popeyvmware has similar "guest extensions" to virtualbox right?15:31
ali1234yes15:31
ali1234i have not used it in years though15:31
directhexv,ware tools15:32
popeyare they in the repo?15:32
popeyor do you have to install them post-install?15:32
popeywith virtualbox they get automagically installed AIUI "virtualbox-guest-x11" is pulled in by ubiquity15:32
popeybut I don't know what happens in parallels and vmware15:32
ali1234not here it wasn't15:34
ali1234have to download the CD image through virtualbox UI every single time15:34
ali1234i would guess that if vmware tools is in the repo, it's probably going to be behind the vmware current release, and you need the tools to match the host version... so if vmware wasn't from repos, download it manually anyway15:35
