| ali1234 | if you're wondering, the site figures out that you follow htc-linux and htc-linux follows me | 00:25 |
| popey | i dont mind twitter so much | 00:25 |
| ali1234 | it will find such a route between any two twitter users by tree search | 00:26 |
| ali1234 | interesting problem because searching the whole tree would exceed the API rate limit | 00:27 |
| ali1234 | so it uses geolocation as a heuristic | 00:27 |

| kvarley | popey: The guy was very helpful, clearly trained well to make it seem like me as the customer is in control. The line was the best I've ever had to a call centre, so crisp. | 11:02 |

| ali1234 | that bug is caused by NFS | 14:37 |
| ali1234 | do you use NFS? | 14:37 |
| dogmatic69 | yep | 14:38 |
| ali1234 | well there you go then | 14:44 |
| ali1234 | stop using NFS, it is rubbish | 14:44 |
| redtape-renegade | ali1234: helpful as always :) | 14:45 |
| ali1234 | well, it's true | 14:49 |
| ali1234 | NFS has long been known to be inadequate for just about any use | 14:49 |
| ali1234 | it is famous for causing programs to randomly freeze, because of the way it is designed | 14:49 |
| mgdm | what's better than it, though? | 14:50 |
| mgdm | someone tried to tell me to use SMB or SSHFS instead | 14:50 |
| mgdm | I laughed | 14:50 |
| ali1234 | yes, both of those are better | 14:50 |
| ali1234 | hell, transfering the files manually on floppy disk is better | 14:51 |
| ali1234 | AFP is also better | 14:52 |
| dogmatic69 | ali1234: what is the alternative? | 14:52 |
| mgdm | heh. the day I put either of those on a webserver that needs a shared filesystem is the day I quit and become a bus driver | 14:52 |
| rebtape|coffee | ali1234, : dogmatic69 , asked for your preference .. I'd like to know, Also. | 14:54 |
| dogmatic69 | ali1234: actually it seems the problem was from connecting to a mac in nautilus ssh://<mac> | 14:55 |
| dogmatic69 | so how ever ubuntu is doing that. | 14:55 |
| dogmatic69 | I generally use SMB for mounting network drives | 14:55 |
| dogmatic69 | and sshfs | 14:56 |
| mgdm | I do that on desktops, sure | 14:56 |
| mgdm | but for more context I was told to use SSHFS on a web server to talk to where it stores its images | 14:56 |
| rebtape|coffee | ali1234, Your alternative, if you may ... | 14:57 |
| ali1234 | the correct alternative depends on what you are trying to do | 15:03 |
| * daubers quite likes NFS | 15:04 | |

| xnox | BigRedS: it's the best radio station ever: they have ads, but not "talking djs", they simply play music. | 16:03 |
| xnox | and their A-/B-playlist is compiled from top 40 songs across EU, such that it's actually good non-indie music most of the time. Good background music for working and working out. | 16:04 |

| davmor2 | bigcalm: how's it broken and on what version | 17:03 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: 12.10, Look for Nitro in the USC. It's listed as Free but you have to click 'Buy...' and login to get it | 17:04 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: press and hold alt hud only appears on tapping alt | 17:04 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: that's because it is a commercial app so follows the bulk of the paid system rather than apps from arb which are free or repo that are free | 17:05 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: it's deliberate | 17:05 |
| bigcalm | Pressing and holding alt causes nothing to happen until I release alt and then it gives me a screen shot of the area that the HUD appeared in | 17:05 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: it's confusing | 17:06 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: that's cause the hud was the active window | 17:06 |
| popey | hang on | 17:06 |
| popey | hold alt, tap printscreen, release alt | 17:06 |
| popey | screenshot appears after releasing alt | 17:06 |
| popey | yes/no? | 17:06 |
| bigcalm | popey: if I do that while looking at USC, I get a screenshot of the launcher | 17:06 |
| bigcalm | popey: if I do that while looking at xchat, I get a screenshot of xchat | 17:07 |

| popey | and ignore anyone who asks you to | 17:08 |
| czajkowski | dont forget about that ! | 17:08 |
| czajkowski | or start a thread on G+ | 17:08 |
| czajkowski | new way of filing bugs | 17:08 |
| directhex | popey, don't forget ranting on IRC about how it's a conspiracy | 17:08 |
| ali1234 | this is why the screenshot tool has the delay option | 17:08 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: hangon what screen is USC on incomparison to xchat? | 17:08 |
| ali1234 | you know, when you press print screen and you get that window that says "what do you want to do" and you click "take a screenshot after a delay" | 17:09 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: ie is one on the unity main screen and the other not | 17:09 |
| ali1234 | then you open whatever window before the delay times out | 17:09 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: usc is on monitor 1 (with the launcher). xchat is on monitor 3 (no launcher). If I move USC to monitor 3, I still get screenshots of the launcher | 17:09 |
| bigcalm | ali1234: I don't have that option | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | bigcalm: of cource you don't. it was removed, like all of the useful options | 17:10 |
| bigcalm | ali1234: then why did you mention it? | 17:10 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: just open screenshot and then select screenshot of active window | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | bigcalm: because i still have it, because i put it back in | 17:10 |
| popey | uh no | 17:11 |
| popey | it is there | 17:11 |
| bigcalm | ali1234: you know you can be frustratingly unhelpful at times | 17:11 |
| popey | run gnome-screenshot | 17:11 |
| davmor2 | ali1234: it was removed by gnome actually | 17:11 |
| popey | the delay option is right there | 17:11 |
| ali1234 | davmor2: never said it wasn't | 17:11 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: okay, that's a work around. Not so good when one is used to alt+printscr | 17:11 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: and that should work which is why you are filing a bug correct :) | 17:12 |
| AlanBell | gnome-screenshot -i | 17:12 |
| popey | you dont need the -i | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | What's the bug reporting tool again? | 17:13 |
| popey | just run gnome-screenshot | 17:13 |
| popey | ubuntu-bug | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Doesn't exist | 17:13 |
| AlanBell | without the -i it takes a screenshot for me | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Oh | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Oops | 17:13 |
| bigcalm | Ubuntu, not Unity :) | 17:13 |
| popey | maybe you have GNOME gnome-screenshot | 17:13 |
| popey | AlanBell: you're starting it via alt+f2? | 17:14 |
| popey | thats why | 17:14 |
| popey | start via unity launcher, just type screenshot or part of that word | 17:14 |
| directhex | wibble. | 17:14 |
| bigcalm | directhex: enjoying your new input devices? | 17:14 |
| ali1234 | running it from gnome-terminal does the same | 17:14 |
| popey | odd, it just broke for me | 17:15 |
| ali1234 | not really all that odd, this is the designed behaviour | 17:15 |
| popey | no, odd in that it didnt do that earlier | 17:15 |
| directhex | bigcalm, hexmas isn't until sunday! | 17:15 |
| ali1234 | that is kind of odd | 17:15 |
| bigcalm | directhex: ah, I was confused by your photographic evidence | 17:16 |

| rebtape|coffee | czajkowski, I can't remember when that ubuntu-on-air meeting was supposed to happen about documentation writing , so I can watch it on youtube later [?]. | 17:48 |
| rebtape|coffee | ..thnk it was with Jono... | 17:48 |

| czajkowski | rebtape|coffee: it;s not scheduled | 18:06 |
| redtape-renegade | czajkowski: Well, perhaps it may be good to have some kind of scheduling so that I/we can let others know on all the media outlets (as this is a community effort meeting) ? | 18:09 |
| redtape-renegade | perhaps I didn't phrase that correctly .. | 18:10 |

| popey | yes | 18:35 |
| popey | apt-get -s upgrade | 18:35 |
| popey | -s means simulate | 18:35 |

| amayer | popey: thank you | 18:49 |
| GentileBen | czajkowski: are you Polish or a cat owner? | 19:35 |
| davmor2 | GentileBen: czajkowski hates cats, which obviously means she isn't right in the head :) | 19:38 |
| czajkowski | I'mn not Polish | 19:39 |
| davmor2 | popey: you can confirm that czajkowski isn't right in the head for not liking cats right :) Although AlanBell is likely to argue that czajkowski isn't all bad as she and Jon have hens now | 19:42 |
| czajkowski | ahem | 19:43 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: on a plus side somethings just don't change :) | 19:43 |
| czajkowski | I do not have hens | 19:43 |
| czajkowski | jon has hens | 19:43 |
| davmor2 | But then Jon has a czajkowski too which means czajkowski has hens too :P | 19:44 |
| shauno | I must admit I always wondered about the name. I mean .. czaj is tea? | 19:44 |
| * AlanBell isn't arguing anything (especially not with czajkowski) | 19:45 | |
| AlanBell | it is pronounced Tchaikovsky | 19:46 |
| davmor2 | AlanBell: you would be arguing for czajkowski not against :) But yeah I see your point, I'm the only one crazy enough :) | 19:46 |
| AlanBell | scrambled or fried or omlet? | 19:47 |
| czajkowski | people, tis not the day | 19:47 |
| shauno | ah, I should have seen that! it'll make googling an etymology easier :) I'm just curious if I'm seeing "false friends". čaj is tea in slovak, so that's all I picked out of it | 19:47 |

| Adriannom_ | what's the best cheapo wifi card to get for ubuntu? | 20:40 |
| Adriannom_ | has anyone bought a cheapish wifi card that works out of the box in the last year? if so, can you please tell me the model number? | 20:51 |
| mungbean | i saw a thread on reddit yesterday about it | 20:52 |
| mungbean | can't find it now though :( | 20:53 |
| Adriannom_ | thanks for the lead though :)_ | 20:54 |
| mungbean | ones containing atheros chips are good | 20:56 |
| mungbean | http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1au0vb/was_looking_for_a_good_usb_wifi_device_for_my/ | 20:57 |
| mungbean | Adriannom_: ^^ | 20:57 |
| Adriannom_ | nice one | 20:57 |
| Adriannom_ | guy from #ubuntu says manufacturers actually change the chipsets of cards without changing the model number, which means it's hard to tell even if the same card from different batches will work | 20:58 |
| directhex | that can happen with networking kit, yes | 20:58 |
| Adriannom_ | seems like model number should change or something? | 20:58 |
| Adriannom_ | to avoid facepalm+++++ | 20:59 |
| mungbean | i had experience of a netgear wg511v2 , one has made in japan, another made in china, both same omodel number | 21:00 |
| mungbean | different chipset | 21:00 |

| bigcalm | Metal Slug 3 looks like silly fun and reminds me of arcade games of the early 90s | 21:11 |
| bigcalm | The Room could be promising | 21:11 |
| directhex | bigcalm, it *is* an arcade game from the early 90s. | 21:11 |
| directhex | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Slug_3 | 21:12 |
| directhex | hm, 2000? really? | 21:12 |
| bigcalm | Oh, hehe :) | 21:12 |
| bigcalm | The style is early 90s to my eye | 21:12 |
| Adriannom_ | mungbean, thanks for the help, gotta go cause the puppy is chewing the ethernet cable :| | 21:13 |
| directhex | well, the neo geo hardware shipped in 1990 | 21:13 |
| Adriannom_ | later | 21:13 |
| bigcalm | Not sure Anomaly Korea, PvZ and Bladeslinger are my thing though | 21:14 |
| directhex | it's basically a megadrive on meth, as far as the specs go. 12mhz 68k, plus 4mhz z80 as a co-processor | 21:14 |
| directhex | (same cpus). but the graphical capabilities of the neo geo were insane. it could do filthy things to sprites that the megadrive (and snes) were nowhere near capable of | 21:15 |
| bigcalm | There was an arcade machine in the bakers (odd) on the way to school. Spent too many pennies trying to play Street Fighter 2 | 21:15 |
| directhex | that'd be a capcom CPS board, iirc | 21:16 |
| directhex | anyway, the megadrive can do 63 colours at once. the neo geo can do 65k | 21:16 |
| bigcalm | Madness | 21:16 |
| directhex | sorry, 4k from a 65k pallette | 21:16 |
| ali1234 | well original metal slug was 90s | 21:16 |
| directhex | versus 63 from a 512 palette | 21:17 |
| * bigcalm eyes his paypal account | 21:17 | |
| ali1234 | bigcalm: weren't you playing the room the other day? | 21:17 |
| directhex | i wanted a neo geo SO BAD when i was smaller | 21:17 |
| bigcalm | ali1234: The Cave | 21:17 |
| ali1234 | it's like a remake of myst right? | 21:17 |
| ali1234 | oh right. but similar thing though, right? | 21:18 |
| bigcalm | Erm | 21:18 |
| ali1234 | by remake i mean "similar type of game" | 21:18 |
| directhex | the cave and the room are basically nothing alike | 21:18 |
| bigcalm | Both are puzzles but not the same style of game play at all | 21:18 |
| directhex | the cave is more akin to The Lost Vikings, an early blizzard game | 21:18 |
| ali1234 | oh, ok. the room is the one that's like myst though right? | 21:19 |
| bigcalm | I've only seen a very short video so far, hard to tell | 21:19 |
| ali1234 | lost vikings was like gobliiins? | 21:20 |
| ali1234 | the bladeslinger trailer is a bit heavy on the cutscenes... | 21:21 |
| bigcalm | Just a little | 21:21 |
| bigcalm | I kept wondering when I'd get to see game play | 21:22 |
| ali1234 | yes. | 21:22 |
| bigcalm | For a while I thought all you did was dodge items thrown at you | 21:22 |
| ali1234 | lol | 21:22 |
| ali1234 | and bad guys jumping off things | 21:22 |

| Azelphur | ali1234: btw, reported myself to HMRC, got the legal situation sorted, declaring a company and going self employed. | 23:15 |
| mungbean | normal newsnight garbage | 23:15 |
| mungbean | boring twaddle | 23:15 |
| mungbean | explainig it for the grown ups | 23:15 |
| ali1234 | Azelphur: legal situation sorted? | 23:15 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: as far as bitcoin trading and tax goes. | 23:16 |
| ali1234 | i didn't know there was a legal situation | 23:16 |
| Azelphur | it's income tax :) | 23:16 |
| ali1234 | so that means... what? | 23:16 |
| Azelphur | that means I pay 20% on my profit minus expenses. | 23:16 |
| ali1234 | and how did you reach this conclusion? | 23:16 |
| mungbean | only after £8k income | 23:16 |
| Azelphur | spoke to a tax specialist at hmrc who looked it all up and called me back. | 23:16 |
| ali1234 | cool | 23:16 |
| mungbean | unless you are earning already | 23:17 |
| Azelphur | :D | 23:17 |
| ali1234 | yeah ad that 8k becomes 10k in a year or so | 23:17 |
| Azelphur | yea | 23:17 |
| mungbean | yep | 23:17 |
| Azelphur | I'll tag it, but I'll probably just write cool things off as expenses | 23:17 |
| mungbean | like gfx cards | 23:17 |

| ali1234 | are you going to set up an exchange? | 23:18 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: just keep doing what I'm doing on a larger scale and with no worries | 23:19 |
| ali1234 | i would like to see an exchange that works over ssh or similar | 23:20 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: I'm also kinda interested in buying a place now since I have my own money, and I'm getting evicted anyway | 23:20 |
| ali1234 | you upload public key, and then no need for passwords | 23:20 |
| Azelphur | hehe, I am certainly going to start doing interesting things. | 23:20 |
| ali1234 | or it could work by email | 23:20 |

| Azelphur | thinking about taking small claims action against him, got the papers for that today | 23:24 |
| shauno | isn't there some kind of board that'll fight that one for you? like the prtb here | 23:28 |
| Azelphur | dunno | 23:29 |
| Azelphur | everyone seems to be of the consensus that he won't even turn up at court | 23:29 |
| ali1234 | well that's an automatic win | 23:30 |
| Azelphur | indeed, I hope for that outcome ;) | 23:30 |
| shauno | that tends to be because that's the normal way for people to 'beat' companies at small claims. but don't underestimate what spite can do | 23:30 |
| ali1234 | yeah a big company isn't going to show because it would cost them more to send a lawyer | 23:31 |
| ali1234 | one guy however, is a different situation | 23:31 |
| Azelphur | this is a small company, owns say 10 properties | 23:31 |
| Azelphur | has a few employees | 23:31 |
| Azelphur | promised a bunch of repairs when I moved in, did none of them, been here 4 months now, had to start threatening court action and they've finally started to do some of the minor stuff but won't give me any compensation (6 month tenancy) | 23:32 |
| ali1234 | i doubt he has real employees | 23:33 |
| Azelphur | they seem fairly real, have uniforns, etc | 23:33 |
| ali1234 | probably contractors | 23:33 |
| ali1234 | if they're repairing stuff anyway | 23:33 |
| ali1234 | maintenance on 10 properties isn't a full time job | 23:33 |
| Azelphur | he sends a guy round to collect the rent for example (wants rent in cash) | 23:33 |
| ali1234 | lol | 23:34 |
| ali1234 | so he can pay cash to his "employees" and not book any of it | 23:34 |
| Azelphur | xD | 23:34 |
| ali1234 | that guy is probably his cousin | 23:34 |
| ali1234 | been there, done that | 23:34 |
| Azelphur | could well be | 23:34 |
| ali1234 | (as the tennant) | 23:34 |
| shauno | even more reason I wouldn't discount him being able to carve out an afternoon to safe himself a default judgement, to be honest | 23:34 |
| ali1234 | yes, quite | 23:35 |
| Azelphur | They've left me in pretty dire shit anyway, 4 months with no oven, washing machine, trash everywhere, flooding, etc. | 23:35 |
| shauno | IANAL and all that rot, but I'd look into seeing if there's anything setup to offer you a hand with that one | 23:35 |
| ali1234 | that's pretty bad | 23:35 |
| ali1234 | i had no gas for 6 months one time but it wasn't the landlord's fault, it was the gas company | 23:35 |
| Azelphur | nice | 23:36 |
| Azelphur | he left me for 4 days without heating, ignoring the "24 hour emergency line" | 23:36 |
| ali1234 | it was a pre pay meter with like £100 of debt from previous tennant | 23:36 |
| ali1234 | and gas company kept telling me "just pay it and we will refund it" | 23:36 |
| ali1234 | which i knew was BS | 23:36 |
| Azelphur | lol | 23:36 |
| ali1234 | so i went without gas, rather than pay someone else's debt | 23:36 |
| ali1234 | so the only hot water we had was the shower | 23:36 |
| Azelphur | the place has sash windows too, but the gap between the two panels is about half inch | 23:37 |
| ali1234 | and the only way to cook stuff was to barbecue it | 23:37 |
| ali1234 | or microwave it | 23:37 |
| Azelphur | you can stick your fingers through the gap and wave to yourself through the window :D | 23:37 |
| ali1234 | or toaster | 23:37 |
| Azelphur | https://www.dropbox.com/s/jo537hl9dvqcsg7/2013-03-11%2013.30.13.mp4?m the pathway to the flat lol | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | he tells people to dump there :D | 23:38 |
| ali1234 | haha that looks like any street in manchester lol | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | oops :p | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: haha | 23:39 |
| ali1234 | actually that's tidy for manchester | 23:39 |
| shauno | I got old and boring. I don't move in on promises anymore | 23:39 |
| shauno | it's not manchester, the matresses haven't been burnt yet :/ | 23:39 |
| Azelphur | shauno: yea, me neither. | 23:39 |
| ali1234 | yeah and someone would have taken that chair for their living room | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | https://www.dropbox.com/s/p6l9y5hs1d042dx/2013-03-17%2015.48.42.jpg it's even nicer out there now :P | 23:40 |
| ali1234 | did i mention that when we had no gas, we found the barbecue in the alley behind our house? | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | haha | 23:41 |
| shauno | it sounds narky, but I don't do cash anymore either. mostly because I'm bone idle. direct debit keeps the lights on | 23:41 |
| ali1234 | i've never done cash | 23:41 |
| ali1234 | one time landlord asked me for posted dated cheques but i refused | 23:42 |
| shauno | I have done, but it was sharing a house with 5 exchange students | 23:42 |
| ali1234 | you know, technically, it's impossible to burn mattresses in manchester, because it rains constantly and nothing will burn. | 23:43 |
| shauno | (which sounds like the start of a horror story, but was probably the most fun I've had in my life) | 23:44 |
| Azelphur | I'd request bank if it wasn't the only way to get communication with the guy lol | 23:44 |
| ali1234 | house sharing is both awesome fun and incredibly stressful | 23:45 |
| shauno | there was nowhere near as much friction as I expected. it mostly came down to people turning bittorrent off in the evening when people wanted to skype home | 23:46 |
| shauno | and a great way to dig myself out of a hole when I finally started working. when you can make the month's rent with 3 day's pay | 23:48 |
| shauno | but again, old and boring. not sure I could do it again now. especially with 6am shifts | 23:50 |
