| DJones | In LibreOffice Calc, is there a way to print multiple sheets with some sheets in landscape layout and others in portrait layout, all I can get it do is print everything in either portrait or landscape as though the print layout is per spreadsheet file, not per sheet | 10:22 |

| Laney | yeah those old os maps are the same series wot i have | 11:47 |
| bigcalm | Oogie boogie | 11:47 |
| bigcalm | Going from a mouse to a thumb trackball is very weird | 11:48 |
| bigcalm | Maybe I should have gone for a finger operated type | 11:51 |
| jacobw2 | morning | 11:58 |
| dwatkins | bigcalm: I have a finger trackball at work, it has a slightly annoying scroll button, but otherwise I really like it | 12:26 |
| dwatkins | I keep the mouse on the other side of the keyboard for scrolling, but I'll probably just get a magic trackpad when I switch to using a Mac as my main machine. | 12:26 |
| bootinfdsds | Hi Peeps Anyone wanna hangout this morning ? https://diasp.eu/posts/738249 | 12:39 |

| MartijnVdS | \o | 15:06 |

| brobostigon | wouldnt it be, "wonders if * is around". ? | 15:07 |
| brobostigon | sorry, i didnt read it properly, :( | 15:07 |
| oimon | did i remember correctly that you have a few yann tiersen albums? | 15:07 |
| MartijnVdS | oimon: just the one | 15:07 |
| oimon | aww maybe i woke you from slumber wrongly | 15:08 |
| oimon | sorry if si | 15:08 |
| oimon | so | 15:08 |
| MartijnVdS | np :) | 15:08 |
| oimon | trying to choose another for someone to buy me for chrimstas | 15:08 |
| MartijnVdS | oimon: Amazon tends to have previews of the tracks :) | 15:08 |
| oimon | spotify and grooveshark have most between them | 15:09 |
| oimon | but he has 17 albums :S | 15:09 |
| oimon | some are a bit diferent | 15:09 |
| oimon | les retrouvailles seems very tabarly esque so looks a winner | 15:09 |
| oimon | did anyone notice that the price of CDs is creeping up to £15 again | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | depends on the CD | 15:12 |
| oimon | mostly stuff i want :( | 15:12 |
| MartijnVdS | old ones are £5ish | 15:12 |
| MartijnVdS | (old not used) | 15:12 |
| oimon | no spotify unity icon boo | 15:15 |
| MartijnVdS | it works sometimes, for me | 15:18 |
| penguin42 | yeh, noticed prices of CDs going up | 17:36 |
| * MartijnVdS just finished The Walking Dead | 18:04 | |
| MartijnVdS | *still shaking* | 18:04 |
| shauno | heh, I've been catching up with that too. 24 episodes in 2 days was not clever | 18:05 |
| MartijnVdS | shauno: I played the game ;) | 18:07 |
| MartijnVdS | shauno: it has YOU making the tough decisions.. it's horrible! | 18:07 |
| MartijnVdS | :) | 18:07 |
| shauno | ah | 18:08 |
| shauno | I've just been trying to whittle away some very quiet shifts. games are less acceptable in the office, for reasons unknown | 18:09 |
| MartijnVdS | Weird! :) | 18:09 |
| shauno | indeed. I'd have thought anything that stops me falling asleep from sheer boredom would be in the company's better interest. oh well | 18:10 |
| MartijnVdS | is it that bad? | 18:10 |
| shauno | it can be. if nothing breaks, there's little to do | 18:11 |
| MartijnVdS | If only nothing broke where I work... | 18:14 |
| * directhex is scared of zombies | 18:17 | |
| * directhex has killed about a dozen people so far in zombiu | 18:17 | |
| directhex | sadly ethan, the guy who had a carbine and ammo, got eaten & vanished into the sunset | 18:17 |
| MartijnVdS | directhex: Walking Dead is.. not as much about zombies as I thought before | 18:22 |
| * penguin42 gave up on the series after about 3 or 4 episodes | 18:22 | |
| penguin42 | seemed quite repetitive | 18:23 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: TV or game? | 18:25 |
| penguin42 | TV | 18:26 |
| MartijnVdS | I can imagine that becoming repetitive.. at least in the game you get to do things :) | 18:26 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: The TV show seemed to basically be in three states; apparent peace, tenseness as impending zombies were expected, and killing zombies, with increasingly tenuous ways to get to stage 3 | 18:28 |
| MartijnVdS | well what did you expect with a zombie franchise ;) | 18:29 |
| bokjhv | I'm on a hangout anyone wants to join in ... https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/c033c757d4bc0b6a6e5e5f334e26ad755859d87e?authuser=0&hl=en-US# | 18:31 |

| * penguin42 hates to think why Amazon has just offered me a Borat Mankini Union jack style - having searched for xeyes in Unity | 19:54 | |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: darn! I to them to suggest a Donald Duck mankini be offered to you ;) | 19:57 |
| SuperEngineer | *told them to | 19:57 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Indeed, that one makes just no sense.... | 20:00 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 20:00 |
| SuperEngineer | anybody know of an easy to contorl a web cam? | 20:03 |
| SuperEngineer | ... [as in turn it off at start up rather than have it glaring its green light at me at startup] | 20:03 |
| * penguin42 is surprised it does that | 20:03 | |
| * penguin42 thought they were reasonably careful to make them only do that when video was being captured | 20:03 | |
| SuperEngineer | apparently not... furthermore - I'm not beautiful... you'd think it would turn itself off as self defense! | 20:05 |
| * SuperEngineer has already installed latest webcam security device... a folded piece of black cardboard to cover the lens] | 20:07 | |
| popey | Evening all | 20:10 |
| SuperEngineer | eveninks popey | 20:11 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 20:14 |
| penguin42 | is having a reasonably odd day with recommendations; on Amazon's Betterizer it says if I say 'like' for Downtown Abbey, it'll recommend BBC's Coast 2 | 21:24 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| Azelphur | Is it only BT that does the up to 76mbit service, or are there any unbundling type things going on? | 22:01 |
| dwatkins | Azelphur: you mean specifically fibre to the cabinet and via the telephone line? There's Virgin 100 Mbit cable, as I imagine you know. | 22:45 |
| dwatkins | this appears relevant: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/02/bt_fibre_eu/ | 22:46 |
| Azelphur | yea, virgin isn't available in my area | 22:48 |
| Azelphur | fun, so yea it's BT or the highway :P | 22:50 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: plus.net do the 76mbit | 23:45 |
| Azelphur | oh that's cool, are they any nicer than BT for it? | 23:45 |
| AlanBell | yeah, well it is BT that do the installation, but plusnet shout at them for you so you don't have to do it yourself | 23:46 |
| Azelphur | ouch, 250GB monthly caps | 23:46 |
| dwatkins | I wonder if Be will join the party. | 23:47 |
| penguin42 | I think there are quite a few people reselling BTs fibre | 23:47 |
| AlanBell | I don't get anywhere near 250GB | 23:47 |
| penguin42 | not that it helps here since BT still haven't done our box | 23:48 |
| penguin42 | AlanBell: Are you on fibre though? If not, would you use more if you were on a faster conneciton? | 23:48 |
| dwatkins | You can register interest in Be fibre here: https://www.bethere.co.uk/web/beportal/fibre | 23:48 |
| AlanBell | penguin42: yes, on FTTC, it goes faster than my wifi | 23:48 |
| AlanBell | however I do have an office as well with the same connection | 23:48 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: last month I used 255 | 23:49 |
| Azelphur | I'd go over 250 if I wasn't careful, 250 is annoying. | 23:49 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: any others reselling? | 23:50 |
| AlanBell | This month you've used | 23:50 |
| AlanBell | 66.91GB | 23:50 |
| * penguin42 thinks Sky do | 23:50 | |
| Azelphur | oh that's cool, I could perhaps stay on my current sky contract | 23:51 |
| Azelphur | and sky are no FUP by principle | 23:51 |
| dwatkins | I can't see my usage, as it's unlimited, which is good in a way but it would be useful to know. | 23:51 |
| Azelphur | yea, they do, that's awesome | 23:51 |
| AlanBell | sky won't do a static IP address though | 23:52 |
| * hamitron likes demon internet | 23:52 | |
| Azelphur | yea, that's fine I have dydns | 23:52 |
| Azelphur | the main thing I like is the no FUP | 23:52 |
| AlanBell | or I lost the will to live when trying to explain to sky what a static IP address was | 23:52 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: haha | 23:53 |
| Azelphur | http://www.sky.com/shop/broadband-talk/fibre-optic/ hmm there's not a lot of info there | 23:53 |
| dwatkins | AlanBell: Be? | 23:53 |
| dwatkins | I mean have you considered using BeThere... | 23:53 |
| AlanBell | no, they didn't do it at the time, and switching is a pain | 23:54 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: midnight to 8am is all you can eat and doesn't count to the 250GB usage | 23:54 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: interesting, I would probably survive ok in that | 23:55 |
| Azelphur | hmm, Sky fibre is only 40mbit | 23:57 |
| hamitron | what is the upload? | 23:58 |
| Azelphur | doesn't say \o/ | 23:59 |
| AlanBell | I get 15.6 mbit upload without plugging in to the wires | 23:59 |
