[10:40] Oh, looks like I can do it :) [10:58] AlanBell: popey: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/2320-real-ale-train/ text updated. Please feel free to edit as required :) [11:13] * bigcalm looks for a hotel in Farnham that isn't the Hotel de Vie [11:16] Put "hotels in farnham" into google maps. Results include "Farnham Tyre and Exhaust Specialists" [11:16] Searching on google maps used to be useful :( [11:17] bigcalm: maybe they have a bed for you though? [11:20] Is it possible to set kernel parameters after boot? [11:20] I want to disable ipv6 on the kernel [11:20] kvarley: sometimes.. and you don't want to disable ipv6 [11:20] really, you don't. [11:20] you might want to disable SLAAC [11:20] (which you can do through /etc/sysctl.* [11:21] http://blackundertone.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/ipv6-static-address-on-ubuntu/ [11:22] Thanks [11:22] AlanBell: ta for the RT.

[12:21] popey: yippie :) [12:22] popey: I'm still hunting for a hotel. Searching on Google maps is pants. Any recommendations for places in Farnham? [12:22] You're welcome to kip here if you don't mind a sofa bed [12:24] popey: that's very kind of you, thanks. Might take up the offer if I struggle with hotels (thinking of driving down Friday evening and back Sunday afternoon). [12:41] bigcalm: If a framework is MIT licensed, do I have to put an explicit message in the footer of my website or is the license in the code enough? [12:42] kvarley: I've never looked into the MIT licence [12:42] Websites tend not to specify the framework they are built upon [12:46] kvarley, license in code is enough [12:46] directhex: Thanks :) [13:15] hi === mh0 is now known as _0hm [14:56] Blue Shift and Opposing Forces are out on linux steam. Happy days :) [15:00] they are? [15:01] they are!

[15:30] dogmatic69: ssh user@servera ./myscript [15:31] Azelphur: thanks [15:31] :) [15:36] it needs to go the other way around if the script you want to run isn't on the machine you want to run it on. ssh user@host bash popey: are you the one that has a camera set up that takes pics every 5 min or so and uploads them to a website? (im working on a project that needs to do just that) [15:40] amayer: i have done that [15:41] my boss wants me to buy 3 cameras to do just that and im wondering if you ran into any problems that i should look out for [15:42] (im probably going to have to go with a windows system tho. my boss says since we paid for all the MS licenses that we should use them) [15:43] cant really help on windows [15:45] ok well thanks anyway [15:53] Is there an easy way to grep irclogs for this channel? [15:53] curl + wget? [15:53] er [15:53] curl + grep [15:54] That's a lot of log files to fetch [15:55] * bigcalm pokes google some more [15:56] anything in particular you're looking for? [15:56] might be faster for someone with local logging to grep [15:56] I remember having a conversation with somebody about managing a 48bit integer in PHP [15:57] I came up with one way, they came up with another using 'bitwise' I _think_ [15:57] BUT VHY!?! [15:57] Why what? [15:58] 48-bit ints [15:58] what's wrong with 64 bits ;) [16:00] MartijnVdS: I'm dealing with a 3rd party's API which expects a 48 bit integer, split into 16bit and 32bit integers [16:00] *shudder* [16:02] Anybody with local logging able to help? :) [16:06] nothing here [16:06] It might have been 21st Jan [16:06] looked for your nick, 48 and bit [16:06] Local logging? [16:06] ah IRC logging [16:06] * MartijnVdS wondered about the forest [16:07] That date it from looking at git commits for when I added the function [16:07] * popey prints out his irc logs to kill the forest [16:07] :D [16:21] In case you have an Arduino lying around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dyuT8N08zM [16:44] This is fun. Just added a debug statement to the 3rd party code to see what the end result was of the data I sent it. I sent a value of 75, it reports it as 28896.

[19:45] when i clothes shop (very rare) i fold the clothes back up again so i often get asked if i work there :( heh [19:45] shops there is one in newton abbot i think [19:46] hobbycraft is an awesome shop because it sells stuff to ladies (wool, knitting, craft stuff), and there's a mens models section [19:46] so you can peruse at your leisure [19:46] today i spent £2.15 on some tamiya tape and felt guilty. then my wife came downstairs with £30 worth of wool and other gubbins [19:47] a lot of the model kits were in the wrong sections so i did some tidying [19:49] =] [19:50] then you quickly added items so you were spending £30 too? [19:51] no i dont like spending ££ on myself [19:52] :o [19:53] mungbean: I've taken the habit of cleaning Morrison's onion boxes from manky onions and dry skins :-D [19:53] and no I don't work at Morrisons [19:53] i almolst made some recommendations to other people too [19:54] i always want to tell people to run away in local computer places if i hear them getting bad advice [19:58] where a safe archive of older versions of android apk?

Nice idea about the ink well. I still don't like QR codes though [21:04] bigcalm: yeah, I bought the blue ones for dsample as valentines present and they went through the wash cycle after first use, and the picture faded a bit under the resin [21:06] bigcalm: seen http://boingboing.net/2013/03/28/the-namikipilot-vanishing-poi.html btw?

[21:08] kinda interested in the £16/mo unlimited everything plan [21:09] My plan at the time was 500MB a month. So normal usage for me never got close [21:09] https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HGeMGqVKD6A# [21:09] she totally isn't reading the cards, but off a tablet [21:09] Azelphur: I switched from t-mobile because (at the time) they recompressed jpegs and injected javascript to accelerate page loads [21:10] moreati: fun [21:11] Azelphur: they may still do so, I haven't checked in > 12 months [21:11] I notice they say excluding tethering too, wonder if they do any detection [21:11] I know three does, which has been driving me mad. [21:13] Azelphur: I've never had a problem with tethering [21:13] RAT ticket booked bigcalm [21:13] fun [21:14] TheOpenSourcerer: \o/ [21:15] yay TheOpenSourcerer ☺ [21:16] Lookingforward to the Beerex next!

[21:56] directhex: I've been doing a lot of that [22:00] Wee, back in Xen [22:00] :o [22:00] i'm amazed that my new TV even makes xbox games look better [22:20] well if you're gonna replace an old 21" 4:3 tube with a 106" oled, it's *gonna* look better [22:25] directhex: heh, nah 40" 1366x768 CCFL backed 2005/6 Sony vs. 55" LED backed samsung 6800 series [22:25] \o/ [22:43] hmph, not good when wifi bounces during video recording - anyone know how to rescue swf? [22:43] Azelphur: T-mobile's stuff is very vague - I'm on the £20/6 months unlimited plan [22:44] penguin42: fun [22:54] Azelphur: when you were desk hunting, did you find anything ~1500x800 on the surface for cheaper than £100? [22:54] hmm [22:55] i've not tried any local places yet [22:55] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trexus-Classic-Panelled-Rectangular-W1600xD800xH725mm/dp/B004LWPZDK/ref=sr_1_4?s=officeproduct&ie=UTF8&qid=1364856866&sr=1-4 [22:55] but that seems to be around the best sort of thing from amazon [22:55] did you want a corner or just a square? [22:55] just your standard rectangle job for a middle really [22:59] daftykins: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S09806763/ this with the extension probably [23:00] crikey furniture @ pricey [23:00] :D [23:00] Azelphur: ty sir! [23:00] yw [23:01] GALANT gets expensive fast [23:01] ? [23:01] http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S89821547/ that's the extension I think [23:01] it's a modular system. so sure, a plank and the cheapest legs, as linked by Azelphur, are <£100 [23:02] but once you add on things like extensions, corner pieces, computer shelves, cable trays... [23:02] that gets you 1800x800 for £150 [23:02] or 1200x800 for £90 [23:02] oic [23:02] checking down my local recycling might be easiest ;D [23:02] http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/departments/workspaces/18960/ [23:02] then local office places perhaps, apparently they're disappearing though [23:03] we DIY'd a GALANT design for our main room [23:05] interesting [23:05] my current desk came from a business' bankruptcy sale :D [23:06] £25 for 1600x800 [23:06] \o/ [23:06] the surface is even amazing for optical meece! [23:07] alright i gotta sleep [23:07] nn all \o [23:08] B&Q do a sheet of white contiplas 2440x1220 for £29
