kvarleyThat has to be a dodgy url, just look at it11:08
davmor2So which prats ordered the UK wide Waterslide for the West and the UK snow for the east for their kids birthdays :)11:12
shaunookay, I thought I was going crazy, I'm not.  that .nl has randomly appearing/disappearing my little pony / rainbows / hello kitty.  wow.11:13
bigcalmdavmor2: Snow here11:16
davmor2bigcalm: you don't have kids unless you ordered it for yourself11:17
bigcalmdavmor2: I ordered it for Hayley, but she still managed to get into work11:17
davmor2bigcalm: hahaha11:18
DJonesPolice have just closed a major bridge here due to falling snow & ice11:20
bigcalmThat happens to the M4 Wales bridge quite offten11:22

DJonesJust seeing peoples comments, falling ice has been smashing car windscreens11:31
bigcalmHeavy water11:38
popeyhappy birthday andylockran11:44
davmor2bigcalm: don't joke like that it's bad enough that their window is smashed without being radioactive too :)12:43
davmor2Man Love film really don't want you to cancel your account12:58
shaunoand netflix really, really want you to come back13:00
popeyi just finished my first month of free netflix13:04
shaunoif they offered it again I might actually try it.  but when I tried last year, the offer here was almost entirely bollywood13:05
redtape|coffeeOT | Sellafield Power Staion has shut down due to the bad weather and high winds.13:18
bigcalmI doubt I'd consider netflix or similar until we had a 'net connected TV. I think we get enough of what we don't use via cable as it is :)13:36
shaunoI think mine'll play if I let it update.  but I really don't want the faff of having to shove my tv through a vpn just to get any content13:37
popeygot the paypal notification for first months payment and thought "yeah, I'll probably use that more"13:39
popeyand will now go and buy a smart telly ☺13:39

popeyditto13:44
redtape|coffee3d is for kids in cinema, not htpc's.13:44
kvarleypopey: Make sure the telly supports DNLA so when your "smart" TV is not longer smart you can still stream stuff to it :)13:54
shaunoor just grab an appletv and save yourself a couple of quid  *ducks*13:56
kvarleyshauno: He has a raspberry pi :)14:02
kvarleyThe solution is never to buy an Apple product14:03

jacobwOh dear, a poll!14:23
ali1234wat14:25
ali1234poll needs "all of the above" option14:25
BigRedSsurely that's the first one, then?14:27
ali1234no14:27
BigRedSit's asking for the point at which it got out of hand14:27
ali1234literally everyone is in the wrong14:27
AlanBellno, I would go for "all of the above" too14:27
BigRedSyeah, that's not the question, though14:27
ali1234the question is dumb14:28
AlanBelloh I see what you mean14:28
BigRedSif  only 3, 4 and 5 were overreactions then '3' is the point at which it got out of hand14:28
AlanBellit kept on getting more and more out of hand at every step14:28
ali1234it got out of hand a long time ago14:28
dwatkinsMountain out of a molehill14:29
dwatkinsGranted the guys probably shouldn't have made the jokes in question, but I've heard worse in the kitchen at work here.14:30
dwatkinsShe's clearly acting as the complete antithesis of a developer relations person.14:30
Myrttihttps://amandablumwords.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/3/14:30
ali1234well there's nothing unusual about that14:31
ali1234the issue got out of hand at the point where anyone who refused to pick a side was shunned by both sides14:32
ali1234this happened several years ago14:32

ali1234you don't need that first line on ubuntu as $HOME/bin is already on the path19:35
ali1234after you create it and restart computer anyway19:35
ali1234mungbean: there is no such thing as high rated USB cable19:36

popeyso they are19:46
ali1234i'm reading the instructions how to build SDL for android and it says "now run ant debug to build it"19:47
ali1234so the answer is the android sdk doesn't include ant19:52
ali1234so i'm supposed to install it myself from distro19:52
