[10:14] <mungojerry-table> morning, does anyone know how i can copy  for mario64 ds onto the ds? my son deleted the save games and can't play the levels he wants to
[10:15] <mungojerry-table> should say copy/restore save games
[10:22] <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
[10:24] <czajkowski> AlanBell: ohhhhh :D
[10:24] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[10:24] <czajkowski> shall have to go to tesco later to stock on the essentials :) taytos are now on the list
[10:25] <mungojerry-table> any Nintendo ds owners here?
[10:31] <popey> ya
[10:31]  * popey loves his DS
[10:33] <mungojerry-table> popey any chance you know answer to above question, about copying gamesaves
[10:33] <popey> on a genuine cart?
[10:34] <mungojerry-table> yes, my son deleted all my wife game saves
[10:34] <popey> oops
[10:35] <popey> dont see how you can restore them
[10:35] <mungojerry-table> started asking aboutakey to get into castle, then that moment of dread
[10:36] <mungojerry-table> it'sa ds XL,seems to havea sd cardslot
[10:36] <popey> mine's just a ds
[10:37] <mungojerry-table> maybe i need action replay
[11:47] <Laney> blurgle blurgle
[11:47] <Laney> yeah those old os maps are the same series wot i have
[11:47] <bigcalm> Oogie boogie
[11:48] <bigcalm> Going from a mouse to a thumb trackball is very weird
[11:51] <bigcalm> Maybe I should have gone for a finger operated type
[11:58] <jacobw2> morning
[12:26] <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.
[12:39] <bootinfdsds> Hi Peeps Anyone wanna hangout this morning  ? https://diasp.eu/posts/738249
[13:03] <J4J> afternoon :)
[13:03] <J4J> http://www.facebook.com/Justice4Jobseekers
[13:24] <daubers> Afternoon
[13:27] <MooDoo> hello daubers
[13:29]  * daubers gets the java book back out again
[13:30]  * MartijnVdS seeks cover
[15:01] <oimon> wonders if MartijnVdS is around
[15:05]  * MartijnVdS is
[15:06] <oimon> :) hello
[15:06] <MartijnVdS> \o
[15:07] <oimon> have quick question
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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 :)
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <oimon> did anyone notice that the price of CDs is creeping up to £15 again
[15:12] <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)
[15:15] <oimon> no spotify unity icon boo
[15:18] <MartijnVdS> it works sometimes, for me
[17:36] <penguin42> yeh, noticed prices of CDs going up
[18:04]  * MartijnVdS just finished The Walking Dead
[18:04] <MartijnVdS> *still shaking*
[18:05] <shauno> heh, I've been catching up with that too.  24 episodes in 2 days was not clever
[18:07] <MartijnVdS> shauno: I played the game ;)
[18:07] <MartijnVdS> shauno: it has YOU making the tough decisions.. it's horrible!
[18:07] <MartijnVdS> :)
[18:08] <shauno> ah
[18:09] <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! :)
[18:10] <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?
[18:11] <shauno> it can be.  if nothing breaks, there's little to do
[18:14] <MartijnVdS> If only nothing broke where I work...
[18:17]  * 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
[18:22] <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
[18:23] <penguin42> seemed quite repetitive
[18:25] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: TV or game?
[18:26] <penguin42> TV
[18:26] <MartijnVdS> I can imagine that becoming repetitive.. at least in the game you get to do things :)
[18:28] <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
[18:29] <MartijnVdS> well what did you expect with a zombie franchise ;)
[18:31] <bokjhv> I'm on a hangout anyone wants to join in ... https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/c033c757d4bc0b6a6e5e5f334e26ad755859d87e?authuser=0&hl=en-US#
[19:54]  * penguin42 hates to think why Amazon has just offered me a Borat Mankini Union jack style - having searched for xeyes in Unity
[19:57] <SuperEngineer> penguin42: darn! I to them to suggest a Donald Duck mankini be offered to you ;)
[19:57] <SuperEngineer> *told them to
[20:00] <penguin42> SuperEngineer: Indeed, that one makes just no sense....
[20:00] <SuperEngineer> ;)
[20:03] <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
[20:05] <SuperEngineer> apparently not... furthermore - I'm not beautiful... you'd think it would turn itself off as self defense!
[20:07]  * SuperEngineer has already installed latest webcam security device... a folded piece of black cardboard to cover the lens]
[20:10] <popey> Evening all
[20:11] <SuperEngineer> eveninks popey
[20:14] <MartijnVdS> \o
[21:24] <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
[22:01] <Azelphur> Is it only BT that does the up to 76mbit service, or are there any unbundling type things going on?
[22:45] <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.
[22:46] <dwatkins> this appears relevant: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/02/bt_fibre_eu/
[22:48] <Azelphur> yea, virgin isn't available in my area
[22:50] <Azelphur> fun, so yea it's BT or the highway :P
[23:45] <AlanBell> Azelphur: plus.net do the 76mbit
[23:45] <Azelphur> oh that's cool, are they any nicer than BT for it?
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <Azelphur> AlanBell: last month I used 255
[23:49] <Azelphur> I'd go over 250 if I wasn't careful, 250 is annoying.
[23:50] <Azelphur> AlanBell: any others reselling?
[23:50] <AlanBell> This month you've used
[23:50] <AlanBell> 66.91GB
[23:50]  * penguin42 thinks Sky do
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <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...
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <Azelphur> AlanBell: interesting, I would probably survive ok in that
[23:57] <Azelphur> hmm, Sky fibre is only 40mbit
[23:58] <hamitron> what is the upload?
[23:59] <Azelphur> doesn't say \o/
[23:59] <AlanBell> I get 15.6 mbit upload without plugging in to the wires
