diployeah that was my old issue09:20
diploThe month before I left I basically wasn't in any projects so I basically fixed everyones niggles for a month09:21
diploThe guys have said since that most of the support issues disappeared after that09:21
diploWondering whether I should have stayed :D09:21
dwatkinsI don't have access to the source, so I'm constantly fighting fires and dealing with other people having not dealt with things in a timely manner.09:33
diplo:/09:35
diploWhat do you do as a job dwatkins, still quite suprised by people who idle in here who are not in the IT industry09:35
dwatkinsI'm in tech support, diplo.09:35

diployeah i saw a few people on G+ doing the 600 cal diet11:49
diploThey seem to think it works11:49
AlanBellthat is what I am doing11:50
diploWell let me know how that goes, I need to start excersing more but dieting is defo another place i need to work at11:51
AlanBell600 or so yesterday, probably going to try not to eat masses on other days too11:51

PendulumTheOpenSourcerer: I'm considering trying paleo as I have friends who've had amazing luck with it not just for weight, but for overall health. I decided it was a possible thing to try after I found a recipe for a paleo-diet-friendly chocolate cake. Otherwise I've had my best luck with Weight Watchers, especially if I ignore their suggestion for carb levels and go lower carb, higher protein. But even falling off WW pretty spectacularly post-surg11:58
dwatkinsI just started a low-carb diet, seems to be working fine so far: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neris-Indias-Idiot-Proof-Diet-From/dp/014102743612:08
dwatkinsCarbs raise insulin levels, which causes the body to store fat more.12:08
dwatkinsIt's less about how much you eat than what you eat.12:09

SuperEngineerhmmm... concerned: downloaded the iso from the "Get Ubuntu Now" link on homepage. lsb_release shows what I thought it might from the iso name... it's still 12.04[.0]19:44
SuperEngineerI thougfht 12.04.1 was now current?19:44
SuperEngineer[can someone give popey a nudge towards that & do canonical a favour pretty please]19:46
popeynope19:47
popeytomorrow is 12.04.1 day19:47
zleapohh19:47
zleapcool19:47
SuperEngineerhah so19:47
SuperEngineerthanks popey - thought it was already official from the hype19:48
popeyheh19:48
zleappopey, i may download then so i install the latest version19:49
popeyits only 12.04 with updates19:50
popeyso if you already have 12.04 and update it, you're already running 12.04.119:50
AlanBellit is not a terribly exciting release, it just means if you happen to be installing 12.04 from tomorrow onwards you don't have as big an update as soon as it is installed19:51
popey12.10 though... thats very exciting! :D19:51
SuperEngineerAlanBell: it just means when I update sister's pooter she doesn't huff & puff watching massive updates... that makes it life preserving ;)19:52
AlanBellnot really19:53
AlanBellit is just a one-shot benefit19:53
AlanBell12.10 is exciting, but it isn't the least bit exciting in virtualbox at the moment :(19:53

bigcalm_laptopOnly good thing about London is the H+ connection I'm getting20:48
popeyno, i mean, imagine you have a machine which is _not_ 3d capable20:48
popeyit's likely to be older than i320:48
AlanBellyes, probably20:48
popeyergo less performant than you're seeing20:49
AlanBellan older thing might have a decent CPU though, a server for example20:49
popeyyou don't find many people running desktops interactively on servers20:50
ahayzenpopey, Thanks :)20:50
AlanBellsure, but there isn't much else that isn't at all 3d capable20:51

AlanBellerr, isn't that going to use openGL es accellerated in hardware?20:52

ahayzenpopey, fullscreen is scary on a 1920x1080 display ;)20:52

popeyi have 1366x76820:53

ahayzenso 1366x768 is fullscreen?20:53
popeyno20:54
AlanBellahayzen: if you maximise the dash, but not normally20:54
AlanBellprobably 600 vertical is the fullscreen dash by default, it then won't display the shortcut overlay on long hold of the super key either20:54

bigcalm_laptopmgdm: 7/9 people on our course are now using phpStorm. I'm using the demo, seems quite nice. Any experience yourself?21:55
dwatkinsbigcalm_laptop: imagine a large application with some changes made to it, the 'QE' team test the functionality immediately surrounding those changes, but don't notice something else that's affected because it's further away21:55
bigcalm_laptopdwatkins: it's nice that you have time and budget for writing tests :D21:56
dwatkinsI'm not certain unit tests would be the solution, but I feel there's something lacking there.21:56
mgdmbigcalm_laptop: no, 'cos it's quite pricey, and I'm fairly happy with Vim21:56
