[10:20] Pretty good :) [10:20] :) [10:30] Looking for an SD card for my RPi - will one from Tesco do or should I look deeper into possibilities? [10:32] bigcalm: i think, it has to be sdhc, and i would go for as higher class card as possible, to get as higher speeds as possible. [10:33] brobostigon: has this been proved? I hear tales of some higher classes not providing the same through put as some lower class ones [10:34] bigcalm: no idea, i am theorising, [10:34] :) [10:34] :) [10:43] `recobutton [10:43] sorry i pressed my green button while irc was focused [10:47] how could you?

[20:20] solarcloud_3scrn: YES [20:20] how could i forget? [20:21] KrimZon_2: some hdparm magic. be careful not to low level format your disk though [20:22] ali1234, He hasn't tweeted in a-while :: https://twitter.com/REAL_BonziBUDDY [20:23] i like to compare new-fangled desktop environments to him when i'm feeling uncharitable [20:25] someone should make a bonzibuddy lens [20:25] is that even possible? can we draw whatever into the dash through a plugin? [20:26] or just send a list of results? (boring) [20:26] i think i once asked about putting a shell into the dash [20:26] and the answer was no :( [20:27] ali1234, I think it was just trying to get the right kinda hue .. http://www.meethue.com/en-US/getstarted [20:28] One reader was quoted as criticizing the program because it "kept popping up and obscuring things you needed to see." - sounds like windows 8, ba-zing! [20:29] Web-Link ?? [20:29] it's on the wikipedia page you linked [20:30] it sounds like windows 8 because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTYet-qf1jo [20:30] oh, that .. I got it from eopinions http://www.epinions.com/cmsw-EmailChat-All-Bonzi_Buddy?sb=1 [20:33] ali1234, just at 16:25 of your ytu.be video .. 'Index of UX guidlines' .. UX .. I think if anyone from Ubuntu mentioned that , everyone would have a field-day !!?! [20:33] unity isn't anywhere near as bad as metro [20:34] ali1234, What does UX meaning to you ?? [20:34] user experience [20:35] right, .. so you've a book with UX in the title on your shelf , right ?? [20:35] hmm... i have "3D User Interfaces In Java" [20:35] that talks a lot about user experience (ie expectations and communication) [20:36] ali1234, It's a Yes or No Question. [20:36] though the phrase wasn't really in common use back then [20:36] back then it was just called "GUI design" [20:36] then No [20:36] Are you Morrocan, or something ? [20:37] no? [20:37] * solarcloud_3scrn bangs his head on his french desk. [20:38] ali1234, If you have no book titled *UX* then how can you know anything about Desktop Environments ? [20:40] solarcloud_3scrn: I have no book about gravity - but, trust me, I do know everything about it ;) [20:42] EngineerÕS, ali1234 ~fails to address the gravitas of the situation he presents, he wants food and it's like we're feeding him. [20:59] ali1234: basically just results: image, title, subtitle [21:00] gnome-shell on the other hand you can put in pretty much anything using the st toolkit [23:19] How do I file bugs about an Ubuntu game again ? Can't maximise window in this one .. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Lubuntu%20docs/ubuntu%20Meerkat%20Beneathe%20a%20Steele%20Sky.png [23:21] it's low-res, i doubt you'd want to maximise it :D [23:22] good ol' scumm [23:30] yeah, you'd have to log the bug against scummvm [23:30] It might be alt+enter, but I assume you've tried that, solarcloud_3scrn
