| GirlyGirl | Hi | 12:03 |
| Flashtek | hi | 12:03 |
| zleap | hi | 12:03 |
| GirlyGirl | Finally got my car into a usable condition by cutting of some bumper plastic. So glad I can use it again | 12:05 |
| MartijnVdS | hope it passes MOT like that | 12:06 |
| Flashtek | as long as there are no sharp edges, you'll be ok | 12:06 |
| Flashtek | if there are use ductape | 12:07 |
| GirlyGirl | Flashtek: None all, I didn't exactly cut it just pushed it forward mostly, the bumper isn't that damaged but has moved inwards | 12:08 |
| Flashtek | probably be fine then | 12:09 |
| Flashtek | did you have a shunt ? | 12:09 |
| GirlyGirl | No | 12:10 |
| GirlyGirl | Still I do hear some rattling noise while driving it, guess that is ok though | 12:11 |
| GirlyGirl | mainly when braking | 12:11 |
| GirlyGirl | If I get to boot to close better myself without spending £ I'd be overjoyed though | 12:13 |
| mungojerry | does htc desire have CM9 release? | 12:16 |
| Flashtek | mungojerry: why not look on the website...? | 12:17 |
| mungojerry | i'm looking but doesn't seem to be there | 12:17 |
| mungojerry | shame | 12:17 |
| Flashtek | if its not there... | 12:17 |
| mungojerry | then it's somewhere else? | 12:17 |
| mungojerry | there's a few desire owners in here so thought i'd try | 12:18 |
| mungojerry | should prob put CM7.2 on it though | 12:18 |
| mungojerry | i'm still rocking 7.03 | 12:19 |
| davmor2 | mungojerry: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/49393-can-we-get-any-cm9-updates/ | 12:20 |
| directhex | mungojerry, there may be ~CM9 nightlies | 12:20 |
| mungojerry | i need to find a way of creating more space on this device, always down at that 15MB of free internal space even with a seemingly unused 128mb partition on the phone | 12:22 |
| davmor2 | directhex: there is no kernel currently for the desire + cm9 so you have to build your own so it isn't ready for general release yet and the image if it gets done likely won't be official | 12:22 |
| mungojerry | hardly sounds worth it | 12:23 |
| mungojerry | i just want speed improvements, i don't notice any bugs with the OS or any features required | 12:23 |
| mungojerry | i'm not sure that's even worth it if i have to reinstall the whole os and apps all over again | 12:25 |
| directhex | is the desire ARMv7? | 12:27 |
| mungojerry | yes directhex | 12:28 |
| directhex | hm, should be okay then for speed. ICS is slow on ARMv6 | 12:28 |
| mungojerry | no compelling features in ICS over 2.3 for phones though afai see | 12:29 |
| mungojerry | i'm using ICS on touchpad and haven't noticed much difference except for some apps and UI tweaks | 12:30 |
| directhex | CM9? | 12:31 |
| mungojerry | yesh | 12:31 |
| directhex | nightly? | 12:31 |
| mungojerry | well one from july | 12:31 |
| directhex | and that's it? if you want bug fixes since then you reformat? | 12:31 |
| mungojerry | no, touchpad is OK, i'm referring to the state of android on my desire | 12:32 |
| mungojerry | just saying that the diff between android on my desire (CM7.03) and touchpad CM9 isn't huge | 12:33 |
| mungojerry | although android 2.3.4 has google video chat which would be nice | 12:36 |
| popey | anyone got an android 4.x device handy? | 13:22 |
| popey | I need to change a device from chinese to english | 13:22 |
| popey | but don't know which menu it is | 13:22 |
| popey | ooh, found it by random tapping | 13:23 |
| DJones | I've got one to hand if you need anything else | 13:25 |
| GirlyGirl | Speaking of Android, is there an android device that is likely to get updates for a really long time like a pc | 13:25 |
| popey | pcs dont get updates for a really long time | 13:28 |
| popey | try getting a BIOS for a 3 year old laptop | 13:28 |
| Flashtek | Dell Latitude D6xx | 13:34 |
| Flashtek | simple | 13:34 |
| Flashtek | :-P | 13:34 |
| * Flashtek heads off for a snooze, in pain | 13:34 | |
| GirlyGirl | popey: Not in that sense but you can run the lastest ubuntu or Windows for 7 years approximately on PC's newer than 2003 | 13:38 |
| GirlyGirl | I've had some laptops get a bios update after 3 years too | 13:39 |
| gord | i don't think you really get android device updates for longer than a few years.. | 14:03 |
| gord | i don't get updates for my n1 anymore | 14:03 |
| directhex | lolyears | 14:06 |
| mungojerry | whats a device update? | 14:07 |
| directhex | no android phone has had official updates for 2 years yet afaik | 14:07 |
| directhex | king is iphone 3gs, >3 years & counting | 14:07 |
| mungojerry | CM will get OTA facility soon | 14:07 |

| GirlyGirl | gord: IPhone 3gs will get the upcoming iOS6 | 14:13 |
| gord | thats nice? but i don't think that the iphone is an android device | 14:15 |
| directhex | android update cycle == joke | 14:16 |
| GirlyGirl | gord: I know, but an Android device that gets updates longer would be nice ... manufacturers stop supporting phones that can sometimes be very capable of running the latest version | 14:16 |
| directhex | nexus s is most well-supported device i think. released dec2010, has 4.1.1 | 14:18 |
| mungojerry | although unofficial, i think the CM releases keep android devices alive longer than iphones | 14:19 |
| directhex | Azelphur, how's the galaxy s3 situation? | 14:30 |
| directhex | mungojerry, statistical noise. most android devices run 2.3 | 14:30 |
| directhex | 60% are 2.3.3 -> 2.3.7 | 14:31 |
| directhex | ICS is 16%, same as 2.2 | 14:32 |

| mungojerry | let me just say that owncloud is flipping awesome | 15:20 |
| mungojerry | everything a man could need | 15:20 |
| popey | mungojerry, tell me more | 15:24 |
| mungojerry | super simple setup, clients for all devices, (or webdav for those who like that kind of thing), stable and mature | 15:25 |
| mungojerry | i also like that there's a clientsync folder, but another folder level above that, so if you want to store files on the server that you don't want to sync to all devices (because of disk sapce), then you can do that, essentially making it a backup server as well as sync server | 15:26 |
| mungojerry | popey, also does versioning history | 15:26 |
| GirlyGirl | mungojerry: Its nice but I have a personal server | 15:27 |
| mungojerry | owncloud is a personal cloud solution | 15:27 |
| mungojerry | for your own server | 15:27 |
| mungojerry | just need port 443 open | 15:27 |
| AlanBell | cloud in this instance meaning file storage? | 15:27 |
| mungojerry | yes, with whistle | 15:27 |
| mungojerry | because if you want you can add plugins easily to the web interface to stream music, edit latex, stream video.. | 15:29 |

| Pendulum | popey: it's only the worst pub until christel has had some cheap cocktails. Possibly the lack of remembering anything after the cocktails is why she doesn't like it ;) | 21:49 |
| popey | ahh | 21:49 |

| bigcalm | I'll happily be led to any pub when I'm in Farnham ;) | 21:51 |

| AlanBell | well it is kind of intended to push you a bit out of the comfort zone | 21:53 |
| AlanBell | but yes, not doing dans le noir again, that is kind of a "do it once" experience | 21:54 |
| cliftonts | When it comes to Christmas dinner I'm very happy with my comfort zone | 21:54 |

| cliftonts | Did you see that second error. I don't have a random to import any more! | 22:06 |
| popey | you typed import python | 22:06 |
| popey | you meant to type import random | 22:06 |
| cliftonts | oh for god's sake | 22:07 |
| cliftonts | can you tell it's too late? | 22:07 |
| AlanBell | it is getting late! | 22:07 |
| popey | yes :) | 22:07 |
| cliftonts | finally. I've been trying to get that thing going for days. | 22:07 |
| cliftonts | Coding in python is a bit of a culture shock compared to quick basic. The interpreter keeps pushing you back on the right track and you don't realise just how much it did until it's gone. | 22:08 |
| popey | heh | 22:08 |
| christel | popey: yah i like the mulburry :) | 22:08 |
| popey | quick basic.. I haven't touched that since.... | 22:09 |
| popey | 1993 | 22:09 |
| popey | i think | 22:09 |
| christel | the cobbett is also nice | 22:09 |
| christel | (i am backlogging) | 22:09 |
| popey | i found a nice love2d / lua tutorial the other day | 22:09 |
| popey | i might use that instead of python for a game sophie wants to write | 22:09 |
| cliftonts | popey: Yeah but deciding to learn a modern language and then coming head to head with visual basic put me off programming in anything else for over 10 years! | 22:09 |
| popey | the good thing about python is that there are zillions of tutorials | 22:10 |
| popey | many really good ones | 22:10 |
| popey | http://cupm.net/public/love2dtutorial/ | 22:10 |
| popey | thats a nice love2d one | 22:11 |
| cliftonts | I've converted one of my programs and it works fine. I now need to make it pretty. Experiment with the things qbasic couldn't do | 22:11 |
| popey | https://github.com/kikito/love-tile-tutorial/wiki also good | 22:12 |
| ali1234 | making 2d game? | 22:12 |
| ali1234 | best thing about python is list comprehensions and slicing | 22:13 |
| ali1234 | if you only did basic, C etc, you need to learn that, because it's an amazing time saver | 22:14 |
| cliftonts | I haven't played with that yet | 22:14 |
| === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan | ||
| ali1234 | it's also incredibly simple like everything in python | 22:14 |
| popey | ali1234, yeah, my daughter wants to do a simple 2d mario style game | 22:15 |
| cliftonts | One of the problems I'm finding is that there are certain things you have to do the hard way in basic where in python one command will do it. I'm figuring out how to do them the hard way again without realising there is a better way. | 22:15 |
| ali1234 | in basic you have to do everything the hard way | 22:16 |
| cliftonts | yup | 22:17 |
| cliftonts | brb | 22:17 |
| === gareth_ is now known as cliftonts | ||
| cliftonts | I swear I'll never get past having to look up commands in the tutorials! | 22:24 |
