[11:25] might buy that tommorow when i have money =) [11:25] i love oldschool platformers <3 [11:27] and i even meet the guys who did the trailer music :D [11:27] so gonna buy it for sure [11:28] I totally failed to find any extra batteries on the first two levels [11:28] other than the obvious ones [11:28] i do love that game [11:28] iam still at work, will buy it when i get home :D [11:28] they have a (very quiet) irc channel here #nikki :) [11:30] whats the minimum you can pay? [11:30] 1 EUR? [11:31] yepp 1 EUR for steam keys [11:32] bought that game now, for my last money until tommorow :P [11:32] for 2 EUR [11:38] i was #504 :( [11:38] not that that is a cool number [11:39] :( my work PC was to shit for playing it so need to wait until i get home [11:39] Intel GMA 460 ftl :< [11:39] really? plays fine on my crummy intel box even at 1080p [11:40] but it works better on my GTX 560 at home [11:40] oh, 460 [11:40] erk [11:40] or whatever this box uses [11:40] old HP Compaq 6910p [11:41] laptop but maybe your suppose to work at work and not play platform games [12:03] which game are we talking about? [12:04] mungojerry: Nikki and the Robots [12:11] sound like an 80s band [12:12] the music is retro 8-bit chiptune style [12:13] i'm in an open plan office but i'm imagining the music blip blop blip as i watch the trailer [12:14] headphones is a nice thing [12:23] Black Mesa Source (HalfLife) is a good free game, but it's for winblows only. http://www.blackmesasource.com/download.html [12:23] pinky-, yeah started to play that =) [12:24] yeah I grabbed it couple of weeks ago too [12:28] Source engine games work pretty well under Wine IME [12:29] good good [12:30] I'll have to give it a go [12:31] yesterday on the NewsGroups I found a new steam free version which is 2gb bigger insize, so grabbing now also [12:31] still downloading now [12:34] black mesa is free? [12:34] didnt know that [12:34] popey, yes [12:34] neat, will boot my windows box up and get it :) [12:34] yep... free as long as you have something based on source engine (TF2 counts) [12:34] it's a good game too [12:34] i have the orange box [12:43] popey: it's well worth the time and effort to boot into windows. Very enjoyable [12:44] I just bought the Humble Bundle 6. This is while I have 2 domains that need renewing [12:44] Priorities... [12:44] is it HL1 graphics? [12:44] mungojerry: no, hl2 graphics [12:44] oh sweet [12:44] mungojerry: this is the whole point [12:44] Plus extra story [12:44] I bought HB6 aaaagggeesss ago ... get with the program bigcalm [12:44] New music, new voice actors [12:45] Mez: call me lazy, I just don't have much time to play games [12:45] when's it coming to linux? [12:45] lazy: There's ALWAYS time to play games. [12:45] whenever Steam and Source gets ported =) [12:45] bought HIB6 aswell, got the extra games yesterday only 1 i did not have already lol [12:46] I was surprised that Black Mesa isn't available via Steam. Considering it was in their Green Light programme [12:46] bigcalm, they will accept some more green light stuff next month [12:47] yea whould be nice to have it native on steam [12:47] I had to download it from a very slow mirror over more than 1 day :( [12:48] i took the torrent took me like 7-8h when it was released :D [12:48] The torrent never worked for me [12:49] http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/mezzle/uk <-- actually scared @ seeing that total :( [12:49] will it eventually work on linux? [12:49] wow Mez [12:49] think of what you could of bought instead! [12:50] Leckey: Look at directhex's [12:50] Leckey: could have :P [12:50] hm? [12:50] http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/directhex/uk [12:50] Wish I had the money to spend on games :( [12:50] christ [12:50] Leckey: and most of them are from indie bundles etc. Or when they were on sale. [12:50] steamcalculator lies [12:50] hah [12:50] Steam Caclculator is the *current* price. [12:51] So you tell your wife :P [12:51] it shows full-price titles, and for games only available in a bundle, it shows the bundle price as the game price [12:51] http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/diplo [12:51] http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/bittin1/uk [12:51] Saints Row: The Third I own that ? [12:51] :p [12:51] diplo, maybe there becouse of the free weekend last weekend and your account has not synced yet [12:51] *resynced [12:51] e.g. it shows GTA1 as £20 [12:51] but GTA1 is free [12:52] directhex, not on Steam but on Rockstars website it is [12:52] or dungeon siege 1 for £23, it's only available in a bundle with DS3 [12:52] Will look when I get home :) [12:52] here is my old account somone hacked http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/bittin when i was like 14-15 :( and dumb enough to accept a trojan [12:52] http://store.steampowered.com/app/39190 [12:52] so thats why i got http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/bittin1 now :p [12:52] a 1 [12:53] bittin^work: why not recover your old account ? [12:53] Mez, becouse i dont remember that email and stuff [12:53] When you were 14-15? bittin^work, how old are you now? [12:53] becouse hacker changed that too :p [12:53] 21 [12:53] Steam member since: 2003-09-13 [12:54] Steam member since: 2005-10-26 and have more games etc at the new account anyways :p [12:54] Steam member since: 2005-08-08 <-- :) [12:54] but if i could get my old account back from the hacker i would not mind [12:55] Steam member since: 2003-09-14 [12:55] but it was hacked in 2004 and i dont remember what email and stuff i used i think guy changed that aswell [12:55] I joined in November 2004. I wonder what was released back then to make me join [12:55] hl2 maybe? [12:55] http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/ianleckey/ [12:55] Probably, I used to play day of defeat, probably upgraded with steam [12:55] not very accurate [12:56] since condition zero deleted scenes, pretty sure is not 99$ [12:56] nor did i even buy it?! [12:56] No, defo don't have saints row as an option, forgot i installed steam on work laptop [12:57] I'm pretty depressed that I have 760.6 hrs on Football Manager [12:57] Hmm... when did Ubuntu change to biosdevname? [12:58] Half-Life 2 Release Date: 16 Nov 2004 - I was right :) [12:58] For 12.10 isn't it daubers, was on the server mailing list a weeks ago/ month ago [12:58] Saying it was going live [12:58] a few* [12:59] diplo: Ah, must have missed that! Just noticed all my ports are labelled differently :) No matter. I have a script somewhere that'll fix it [13:01] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-January/034688.html [13:02] Part of the talk about it, was a more recent one [13:03] diplo: Yeah, google just found me that, it's not an issue as I modify the udev rules anyway so have something that can easily make stuff work again [13:04] diplo: I'm obviously a little out of touch at the moment! [13:04] heh, I'm not that in touch, just remember seeing the email. We dont use ubuntu at work apart from me so it's not something I look out for that much [13:05] What I'd really really love is for someone to impliment geolocation based profiling for my user profiles [13:06] i.e. thunderbird uses my work accounts at work, and home accounts at home [13:06] that would be superfun [13:07] Sounds good, get coding :P [13:07] diplo: It's on my list of projects I'd like to do when I have time :) [13:08] hah, good luck.. rarely seem to have time for anything [13:09] diplo: The list is 6 A$ pages long now.... almost got my MQTT-S stuff working \o/ [13:09] A4 even [13:09] stupidfingers [13:10] :D - Do you spend much time with the missus? [13:10] diplo: Yep! Just having to adjust my sleeping hours to get stuff done [13:10] No kids yet then [13:11] Nope :) [13:11] * popey says nice things to Laney and points him at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nikki/+bug/1056832 [13:11] Ubuntu bug 1056832 in Nikki and the Robots "Create a .deb package for convenience" [Wishlist,New] [13:11] :D [13:13] :) [13:13] Laney, I'll donate a beer token to the charity of your choice if you package that :) [13:14] wow, a game written in haskell [13:14] popey: does it comply with DFSG (and possibly more importantly) FHS? [13:17] there has already been two attempts to get it into debian [13:17] which have stalled [13:18] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2011/10/threads.html#00025 [13:18] The licencing looks ok, but it seems to bundle stuff.. which is less than cool. [13:21] i did not get any steam key even if it said i would if i paied 1€ or more [13:21] ah well === NimChimpsky is now known as RadiumCat [13:24] popey: there already is one [13:25] I swear I linked it the other day [13:25] one what? package? [13:25] it's just not uploaded yet [13:25] ye [13:25] there's some bug they're trying to work out or something [13:25] it's how I'm playing it :-) [13:25] link me up! [13:26] http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-games/packages/trunk/nikki/ [13:26] I uploaded haskell-sfml-audio to Quantal yesterday or Monday in preparation for that actually [13:26] ah its coded in haskell cool [13:26] \o/ [13:27] Anyone know a whois service that doesn't use the searches to steal the domain you just searched for? [13:27] how can anyone know that? :) [13:27] Personal experience? [13:27] whois in your shell ? [13:28] I don't know, who is in my shell? [13:28] Ghost in the shell? [13:28] whois in MR gnu-tools [13:28] * awilkins is working on a machine called "Motoko" ; irony [13:28] or if its bsd-tools [13:28] :D [13:28] my machine is called martins-laptop [13:28] haven't named it something cool yet [13:28] Bah, GoDaddy have the domain I want until 15th decemeber [13:28] Gets [13:29] Gits [13:29] GitS == Ghost in the Shell. Spooky amount of confluence here [13:29] and my boxes at home is called WINEDOWS4 and cindy [13:29] I think I searched whois for it... about 15th Dec 2011... strange coincidence [13:30] That's the day they registered it. Dogs. [13:30] "Domains By Proxy, LLC" otherwise known as "The front company that GoDaddy uses to domain-jack you." [13:31] and iam turning of Windows 8 and Debian and going home, cya [13:45] do domain squatters generally renew their domains after squatting on them for 2 years with no bids? [13:46] a domain i wanted expired and i wasn't able to buy it on expiry day cos a quatter nicked it [13:46] I'm about to find out if they abandon them after a year in December [13:46] I have a calendar appointment set to register it on that day [13:46] now they want "229 [13:46] awilkins, i think you need to sign up with a company to nail it for you [13:47] unless you run your own script [13:47] the whole thing is a swindle [13:47] It was weird enough that my search for it was the first thing that caused it to be created [13:47] Silly me, using GoDaddy as a whois [13:48] "OOh, a domain someone wants! *squat*" [13:49] my one was swuashed by sedo :S [13:50] "SEDO.COM has been accused by some U.S. companies of trademark infringement, and cyber-squatting .." [13:52] Just used their search to look for a domain that insults them. We [13:52] shall see if they register it and put one of their parking websites on it soon. [13:52] gone are the days when an average Joe could register hotmail.com when MS forgot to renew it [13:53] HDD1 [13:53] oops [13:53] silly barcode reader [13:57] AlanBell: ? [13:58] was messing with a barcode reader, they act as a keyboard and I zapped a barcode for HDD1 [13:59] Can barcodes do utf8? [14:00] some types [14:00] some can't even do lower case [14:00] * davmor2 loves the fact that barcodes all include the number 666 :D [14:01] davmor2: Now there is something I didn't know ? [14:02] penguin42: the double bar that is longer at the start the middle and the end are all 6's [14:02] code39 just starts and ends with * [14:04] davmor2: Ah, so not actually a run of 3 6's in a row [14:05] that is the EAN barcodes, like this bag of wasabi peas which is 5060036012151 [14:05] the reader misses out those double bars [14:07] AlanBell: Humdinger wasabi peas from Asda? [14:08] AlanBell: they are positional markers that are looked for by the scanner, the barcode marker just happened to choose the same bar structure as a six [14:08] penguin42: yup! [14:09] AlanBell: google's search for stuff like that is quite neat [14:09] What colour are those wasabi peas? Green, or yellow? [14:09] green [14:09] Shame, they do that by dying them with blue and yellow dye [14:09] I like Whitworths Wasabi Bean Mix [14:09] No colours [14:10] Used to mess with barcode readers a bit [14:10] THe one we had, had a booklet of barcodes you used to configure it [14:11] Didn't do the 2D barcodes though [14:11] yeah, same as this one [14:11] Although you can do those with just a webcam now [14:11] I just got a cheap and nasty handheld optical scanner [14:11] Barcoded mailmerge letters [14:11] Quicker for the office admin staff to process [14:13] the scanners still seem to be way faster than anything camera/software based [14:14] barcode scanners are fun - though integrating them with web based systems - not so much fun :) [14:14] (espescially when they're all configured to do [14:15] (when you want a tab) [14:15] Mez: that bit is reconfigurable with the manual [14:15]
