| mungojerry | can anyone help me remember a long word that describes what radio5 do when they give equal importance to opinions of a professor who's studied a subject for years and has all the data, and a road sweeper who's giving his uneducated opinion | 09:26 |

| bigcalm | Oh, I remember what I was going to ask peeps | 09:53 |
| bigcalm | I hear of OS firmware for digital cameras to allow scripting and remote triggering etc. Not sure what googloligy I should be using to find such a thing for my Canon EOS 350D | 09:55 |
| popey | http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki | 09:56 |
| popey | eos replacement firmware were the terms I used | 09:56 |
| bigcalm | Ah | 09:56 |
| bigcalm | Doesn't seem to support the 350D :( | 09:57 |
| bigcalm | Thank you though. I will continue hunting :) | 09:57 |
| bigcalm | Seems there is a development build of CHDK for it | 09:59 |

| bigcalm | At some point in the near future, I will need to write a desktop application. For the last 6+ years I've had my head stuck in PHP. I'm sure it could be done, but is there a better language option? Considering Python | 10:37 |
| popey | vala? | 10:39 |
| popey | go? | 10:39 |
| bigcalm | Are they easy to learn? | 10:39 |
| popey | pass | 10:39 |
| bigcalm | I'll need to interface with a webcam and other USB devices. Think I need to choose something that has a lot of existing libs to help me do stuff :) | 10:41 |

| davmor2 | Morning all | 11:06 |
| popey | daubers, got your problem sorted? | 11:15 |
| daubers | popey: No :( Seems to be a problem with telstra not routing bitfolks IP range | 11:21 |
| popey | i had this issue with someone connecting to bitfolk from canada a few years ago | 11:22 |
| daubers | :( | 11:22 |
| popey | misconfiguration their end | 11:22 |
| daubers | Silly ISPs | 11:22 |
| davmor2 | popey: How is raring | 11:31 |
| popey | ok | 11:32 |
| popey | new unity lands in it later | 11:32 |
| davmor2 | popey: nice | 11:33 |
| davmor2 | popey: if you install vbox on raring let me know if it runs it wasn't for me last Thursday :( the kernel module wouldn't instal | 11:33 |
| davmor2 | l | 11:33 |
| popey | i do have it in vbox | 11:35 |
| popey | http://askubuntu.com/a/214968/612 | 11:36 |
| popey | davmor2, ^^ do that | 11:36 |

| directhex | 45 Whitebridges | 12:02 |
| directhex | Honiton | 12:02 |
| directhex | ^^ him | 12:02 |
| davmor2 | popey: Sorry I meant I am running raring as a host and wants vbox to work on it but the kernel drivers for running vbox never install correctly | 12:17 |
| aquarius | directhex, hm, how did you find that? perhaps I'm blind :) | 12:18 |
| AlanBell | whois turtle-studios.co.uk | 12:19 |
| AlanBell | would be my guess | 12:20 |
| popey | davmor2, yeah, I'm running raring at the host too | 12:20 |
| davmor2 | popey: oh nice I'll give it a bash then :) | 12:21 |
| popey | AlanBell, theopensourcerer what's the plan for tomorrow? | 12:52 |
| AlanBell | lunch \o/ | 12:53 |
| davmor2 | popey: well they are going to get up, get washed and dressed.......... | 12:53 |
| AlanBell | no massively detailed plan, if you turn up at the office at some point we can wander into town and find food | 12:54 |
| AlanBell | dunno if we will get as far as going past the mulburry | 12:54 |

| popey | cheap replacement for your blue charge thing | 12:59 |
| popey | which looks a bit iphone ish | 12:59 |
| aquarius | popey, I still have the blue charge thing :) | 12:59 |
| popey | ERROR: Incorrect styling! | 12:59 |
| aquarius | doesn't match the iphone, of course | 12:59 |
| aquarius | but I don't think I'm so hung up on matching accessories that I'm prepared to bin a perfectly working pretty item just because it's the wrong colour. :) | 13:00 |
| diplo | yay sensible wins! | 13:01 |
| directhex | but... iphone! pretty! colour coordination! | 13:07 |

| BigRedS | In general, mail clients are largely flawed | 13:51 |
| BigRedS | you've just got to find the one with the most agreeable flaws | 13:51 |
| BigRedS | I use Hastymail and mutt, which has reduced my swearing dramatically | 13:51 |
| BigRedS | er, Roundcube, not hastymail | 13:51 |
| SuperMatt | if I had my way, I'd use gmail for my work mail | 13:51 |
| SuperMatt | oh how I wish I could | 13:52 |
| SuperMatt | it's by far the best email client | 13:52 |
| directhex | thunderbird is basically impossible to deploy in an enterprise environment | 13:55 |
| directhex | and evolution is bugged beyond use | 13:55 |
| SuperMatt | agreed | 13:56 |
| SuperMatt | I use evolution though because at least it connects to exchange servers | 13:56 |
| BigRedS | does it? Last time I tried that (about five years ago) the exchange connector bit crashed about three times an hour and demanded I restart evolution | 13:56 |
| BigRedS | I just quetly enabled IMAP on the exchange server | 13:57 |
| diplo | BigRedS: :P | 13:58 |
| SuperMatt | BigRedS: it's working for me now, so that's the most I can tell you | 13:58 |
| AlanBell | is that the connector that screen scrapes the web interface of exchange? | 14:00 |
| BigRedS | yeah, that sounds familiar | 14:02 |

| ddfgt | hi | 15:01 |
| ddfgt | i have a problem with script.. | 15:01 |
| ddfgt | http://pastebin.ca/2289624 | 15:02 |
| ddfgt | i try to learn how to make a list | 15:02 |
| ikonia | ddfgt: looks like a crappy forkbom | 15:22 |
| ikonia | bomb | 15:22 |
| ikonia | a poor attempt at one | 15:22 |
| ikonia | what do you expect that to do ? | 15:23 |
| dwatkins | echoing executes things from the list? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | just seems like a pointless loop | 15:24 |
| dwatkins | ah, backticks | 15:25 |
| ikonia | that's trying to build up a long string.... | 15:25 |
| ikonia | gee I wonder what that's going to do | 15:25 |
| dwatkins | something wonderful....ly dangerous, no doubt | 15:26 |
| dwatkins | I think I'd trust it as far as I could throw my chair | 15:26 |
| ikonia | well considering ddfgt is claiming he's writing it to learn how to make a list, I smell a rat | 15:27 |
| dwatkins | seems like a cumbersome way to make a list, at very least. | 15:29 |
| popey | it does nothing harmful | 15:30 |
| popey | its just the symbols from the top line of the keyboard | 15:31 |
| dwatkins | ahh | 15:31 |
| selinium | hi all.. in the 12.10 desktop is the desktop sharing VNC? | 15:35 |

| dubac0 | umm i have an asus eeepc 1015pn it wont charge what can i do? | 18:22 |
| dwatkins | dubac0: does the power adapter LED turn on? | 18:22 |
| dubac0 | yes | 18:23 |
| dubac0 | its powered up on mains power | 18:23 |
| dwatkins | ah ok, sounds like the battery is the most likely candidate, although it might be the charging circuit, I Guess. | 18:23 |
| dwatkins | tried reseating the battery just in case? | 18:24 |
| dubac0 | how? | 18:25 |
| dwatkins | power down the laptop, remove the battery (assuming you can do that) and put it back again | 18:25 |
| dubac0 | 0k done that and restarting | 18:26 |
| dubac0 | nope still the same | 18:28 |
| dw4tkins | bah | 18:28 |
| dw4tkins | is it definitely not charging, i.e. could it be a software problem with not registering the charge? | 18:29 |
| dw4tkins | otherwise I guess it's time to get a new battery. | 18:29 |
| dubac0 | nope i left i "charging" for weeks | 18:29 |
| dubac0 | nothing | 18:30 |
| dw4tkins | what OS are you running? | 18:30 |
| dubac0 | xbuntu | 18:31 |
| dubac0 | xubuntu* | 18:31 |
| dw4tkins | I assume if you power up and go into the BIOS (so that if it loses power no data is lost) and remove power, it does indeed power off straight away | 18:31 |
| dubac0 | yeah | 18:32 |
| dubac0 | its dependednt upon the cable | 18:32 |
| dw4tkins | oh? | 18:32 |
| dw4tkins | oh I see what you mean, it needs power | 18:32 |
| dw4tkins | I got a double-capacity battery for my Eee 901, it's not pretty but it lasts 8 hours. | 18:33 |

| ddfgt | hi | 20:10 |
| ddfgt | how i can print 2 things in python in the same line.. | 20:11 |
| MartijnVdS | ddfgt: by using stdout.write() instead of print | 20:11 |
| MartijnVdS | ddfgt: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3263672/python-the-difference-between-sys-stdout-write-and-print | 20:11 |
| ddfgt | this is what i did | 20:12 |
| ddfgt | a = 2.0 print "a=" a | 20:13 |
| ddfgt | i want to get something like that | 20:13 |
| jacobw2 | print "a={a}".format(a=a) | 20:13 |
| ddfgt | a=2.0 | 20:13 |
| ddfgt | what is the format? | 20:14 |
| MartijnVdS | ddfgt: that's called a format, yes :) | 20:14 |
| MartijnVdS | ddfgt: http://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language | 20:14 |
| MartijnVdS | ddfgt: Google is your friend ;) | 20:14 |
| jacobw2 | in python, the string type has the format method which can subsitute labels with variables | 20:15 |
| jacobw2 | and many other things :| | 20:15 |
| ddfgt | i'm to new to python.. | 20:16 |
| jacobw2 | it's good thing to be new to | 20:16 |
| ddfgt | what so good in that? | 20:17 |
| jacobw2 | it fun and useful | 20:17 |

| MartijnVdS | s | 23:05 |
| MonsterKiller | ah okay, thanks. i was reading around and saw that * 0 * * * was every hour and wondered why it didnt work :p | 23:05 |
| MartijnVdS | no, | 23:06 |
| MartijnVdS | * 0 * * * = every minute of the 0th hour of the day | 23:06 |
| MartijnVdS | so 0:00 - 0:59 | 23:06 |
| MonsterKiller | ah kk. ty | 23:06 |

| solarcloud | andbittin, address of the podcast, matey. | 23:52 |
| solarcloud | **You don't but .. | 23:53 |
| andbittin | solarcloud: podcast.ubuntu-uk.org | 23:54 |

| AlanBell | solarcloud: ah yes, that hangout :) was a warmup for the ubuntu on air thing I did | 23:57 |

| solarcloud | You should . it's a good way to find source. | 23:58 |
