| jacobw | Morning | 09:04 |
| redtape-renegade | kvarley, Hi there, nice chat @ the weekend | I'm wondering if you poss. have a Kodak printer and if you know if the ink is worth it ? | http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/category/deal-of-the-day.asp? | 09:09 |
| directhex | kodak ink is super expensive iirc | 09:09 |
| directhex | also, poor linux support | 09:09 |
| redtape-renegade | i.e. will this use cups with ubuntu ? | 09:10 |
| kvarley | redtape-renegade: I currently have no printers, they've all died. I'm looking to buy 2 printers at the moment. | 09:10 |
| kvarley | I'm looking for 2 colour inkjet printers that have flawless Linux support and that have separate colour cartridges. | 09:10 |
| redtape-renegade | Ohh. we have a nice one at the office if you'd like it, to go ? | 09:10 |
| kvarley | They're not for me :) for other people | 09:11 |
| redtape-renegade | S0ooo you don't want it, right ? | 09:11 |
| kvarley | redtape-renegade: No, ty | 09:11 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, I don't why you keep doing-a-downer on everything I say [have you got a narcissistic side or something ??] about saving money ! | If you look at #3 on their website ::: http://www.kodak.co.uk/ek/GB/en/printer-faq.htm?utm_source=www.kodak.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=well1-IJupdate_022413&utm_campaign=Corp-Homepage :; THEY SAY , that they are the cheapest, ink, in the industry ? Wats your problem, matey ? | 09:17 |
| directhex | i've worked retail, selling printers to people. Nobody who bought a Kodak came back happy. Perhaps things have changed since then. | 09:21 |
| popey | my mum has a kodak printer, doesn't work with her 12.04 ubuntu system ☹ | 09:24 |
| SuperMatt | popey: get the drivers into raring then ;) | 09:28 |
| popey | what drivers ☹ | 09:28 |
| SuperMatt | oh | 09:29 |
| SuperMatt | darn it | 09:29 |
| SuperMatt | I really don't think that home printing is cost effective | 09:30 |
| popey | its fine for black and white on lasers | 09:30 |
| popey | inkjets suck donkeys | 09:30 |
| SuperMatt | they do indeed | 09:30 |
| SuperMatt | there's nothing worse than trying to print to find all the heads are jammed with dried ink | 09:31 |
| popey | i went to asda to print a photo I had on my iphone recently. You can plug your phone in, download pics and print them | 09:32 |
| popey | unfortunately I didn't have my iphone cable with me ☹ | 09:32 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, Give me one e.g. of a Kodak printer you sold ion a retail shop, Plz ? | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | all the boots places have iphone cables no android :( | 09:33 |
| redtape-renegade | **in | 09:33 |
| popey | however the photo booth supports printing directly from facebook! | 09:33 |
| popey | So standing in the store I uploaded the photo over 3g to my facebook account, and set visibility to only me, then logged into my fb account on the photo machine | 09:33 |
| popey | (which was worrying) | 09:33 |
| popey | it showed the picture, printed it, logged out of facebook | 09:33 |
| popey | worked rather well | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | handy | 09:34 |
| redtape-renegade | How much was that photo print-out ? | 09:34 |
| directhex | redtape-renegade, you want me to tell you a model of printer sold in pc world in 2003? | 09:34 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, PC World ? Do you still get discounts ? | 09:35 |
| directhex | redtape-renegade, no. i worked there one summer as a student. | 09:35 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, What was your salary @ PC World ? | 09:36 |
| Laney | O_O | 09:36 |
| popey | redtape-renegade: can't remember | 09:36 |
| popey | pence | 09:37 |
| redtape-renegade | Who am I talking to here ? | popey or, directhex ?? | 09:37 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! :) | 09:38 |
| directhex | redtape-renegade, sallary is for full-time employees. my wage was somewhere around minimum wage. | 09:38 |
| popey | well given I just explained that I got a printout, and then you asked how much was the photo printout, I thought that question was aimed at me, other questions aimed at directhex seemed to have his name in | 09:38 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, That's only £600.. did you get any perks or freebies ? | 09:38 |
| redtape-renegade | popey, soz you took a while to get back to me. ☹ No harm done. | Keep calm, install ubuntu | 09:40 |
| popey | wat | 09:40 |
| redtape-renegade | popey, a coupl of pence for a print-out is a steal. well done ! | 09:40 |
| redtape-renegade | **couple of.. | 09:41 |
| redtape-renegade | directhex, I calculate That's only £600.. did you get any perks or freebies at PC World ? | 09:42 |
| directhex | redtape-renegade, er, some small level of staff discount | 09:43 |
| directhex | plus commission, occasionally | 09:44 |
| redtape-renegade | And what did you buy with the discount at PC World ? | 09:44 |
| * redtape-renegade notes Curry's have devastated in IOMan computer retail park. | 09:45 | |
| directhex | some speakers, iirc? | 09:46 |
| redtape-renegade | And whatr did you think of the Kodak link I gave you at 09:17 . | Do you think it is correct ?# | 09:47 |
| redtape-renegade | http://www.kodak.co.uk/ek/GB/en/printer-faq.htm?utm_source=www.kodak.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=well1-IJupdate_022413&utm_campaign=Corp-Homepage | 09:47 |
| directhex | i think i wouldn't buy a kodak. YMMV. | 09:51 |
| popey | my mum bought a digital camera off amazon recently, some samsung thing.. it refuses to power on, i helped her return it, which was stupidly simple | 09:52 |
| popey | I do like returning things to amazon | 09:52 |
| directhex | i don't | 09:52 |
| directhex | my last return sucked | 09:52 |
| popey | was it amazon or a marketplace seller tho? | 09:52 |
| directhex | amazon | 09:53 |
| popey | erk | 09:53 |
| nperry | The last time I sent something back to amazon, I took it to the nearest collect+ place at 1330 and by 1800 they had sent me an email saying the refund was on its way. | 09:54 |
| directhex | tl;dr: baby food steamer broke within 3 months, manufacturer said return it for a replacement. amazon refunded purchase price instead. except we'd bought it for half price in a sale, so a refund was the worst outcome ever | 09:54 |
| nperry | I checked and it was still sat the shop. | 09:54 |
| nperry | The next day the money appeared in my bank account :/ | 09:55 |
| czajkowski | I've found them pretty good when dealing with stuff at xmas from stuff that never arrived to stuff that arrived that was not for me, either I got a refund straight away or was told keep the other stuff. | 09:56 |
| czajkowski | shall be doing all of next years xmas shopping on there again | 09:56 |
| redtape-renegade | popey, a marketplace seller ? Like Dragonmarts Co. Ltd. | I guess they sub-contract .. on ebay aswell-as Amazon : http://goo.gl/9wkCC | 09:57 |
| nperry | I did pretty much all my shopping on amazon... | 10:02 |
| nperry | I did have a comment from the postman "You seem to order a lot of things from amazon" | 10:03 |
| redtape-renegade | nperry, Have you found it hard doing a Wishlist yet on www.amazon.co.uk ? | 10:06 |
| BigRedS | Amazon wishlists are brilliant | 10:08 |
| BigRedS | Every time I want something and can't justify buying it I stick it on my wishlist | 10:08 |
| BigRedS | and then when people want to buy me a present they actually end up getting me something I want | 10:08 |
| popey | heh, same here | 10:10 |

| brobostigon | Mar 19 15:25:40 raspberrypi motion: [1] config image height (232) is not modulo 16 | 15:33 |
| brobostigon | any ideas what that error output from motion means? | 15:33 |
| brobostigon | mungbean: install ffmpeg. | 15:33 |
| popey | mungbean: surely you can only download what they put out, which is always h.264 isn't it? | 15:34 |
| popey | and then convert as brobostigon says with ffmpeg / libav | 15:34 |
| mungbean | the documentation isn't great for get_ipplayer, but it seems you can ask it to spawn ffmpeg to convert for you , right? | 15:35 |
| popey | it does by default | 15:36 |
| popey | to change the container from .flv to .mp4 iirc | 15:36 |
| popey | not used it for a while | 15:36 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | popey: See G+ for totally uninteresting pictures | 15:36 |
| brobostigon | yep. install ffmpeg, and get-iplayer will do it automatically. | 15:36 |
| popey | TheOpenSourcerer: nice ☺ | 15:37 |

| mungbean | brobostigon: sorry, bit confused, got any examples? | 15:39 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | we decided to not make a big decision yet. This should do us for a while until we can finally make up our minds on what we really should do. | 15:39 |
| popey | wise | 15:39 |
| brobostigon | mungbean: for example. yesterday i pulled an ep of dr who with get-iplayer, i had ffmpeg installed, so get-iplayer did the conversion an ended up with a *mp4. | 15:40 |
| mungbean | brobostigon: got the command in your history please? | 15:40 |
| brobostigon | mungbean: moment. | 15:41 |
| mungbean | cheers | 15:41 |
| mungbean | just had a baby and surviving on zero sleep and cannot do any brain work | 15:41 |
| popey | mungbean: you dont have to explicitly ask it to, if it finds ffmpeg it does it | 15:41 |
| mungbean | my dvd player accepts .avi files in mpeg-4 format | 15:41 |
| brobostigon | yep, "get-iplayer --nopurge --get 281" | 15:42 |
| mungbean | wow, that's it? | 15:43 |
| brobostigon | yes. | 15:43 |

| mungbean | and liblame was installed | 16:03 |
| popey | interesting | 16:03 |
| mungbean | but ffmpeg seems to be working | 16:03 |
