[00:56] https://twitter.com/xwindowsystem heh [01:03] doesn't post very often - i guess wifi reception is patchy under bridges [01:10] ojwb: probably posts after every successful build [19:22] morning [19:22] morning [19:30] morning === _thumper_ is now known as thumper [22:00] morning [22:00] Morning [22:00] morning [22:00] I like the new Unity button icon [22:02] morning [22:24] morning [23:08] Also, opening the dash hasn't used all my CPU for n seconds yet which is neat. [23:15] hmm [23:16] * mwhudson is lusting after a new phone [23:16] 2degrees seems to have a pretty good deal on a nexus 4... [23:18] although it seems that they might be somewhat backlogged... [23:22] The N4 is great. The only complaint I have about mine is the glass back is so slippery if you put it on a couch or something it *will* fall off, even if the surface looks flat. [23:22] Not really a complaint though so you can take from that that it's a great phone. [23:23] hads: where did you get yours from? [23:24] Australian Google Play [23:24] Proxy through Au somehow and you can save quite a few $ [23:24] I picked mine up in the US [23:25] Happy with it? [23:25] very [23:25] same slidiness issue [23:25] It's amazing what it can slide off isn't it? [23:25] indeed [23:25] LG = Low Grip [23:26] Amuses me that it can fall off something a minute or more after you put it there. Ultra slowly sliding down a tiny incline. [23:27] * olly wonders if there's an app which uses the tilt sensor and sounds an alarm [23:28] olly: accelerometer + the compass for tilt, I guess [23:28] why do you need the compass? [23:29] gravity acts down whichever way north is [23:29] olly: isn't it the compass in the phones that show the magnetic field/elevation? [23:29] err not elevation, but rather tilt [23:29] no wait, thats the gyro, brain isn't working today [23:29] my phone has no compass, but can show which way is down [23:30] it is possible to get down from the magnetic field, but it's fiddly and needs some sort of calibration [23:30] Compass/Gyro/Acell [23:30] i believe it requries 3 coils [23:31] hads: I actually did the math, technically you could buy it via the Australian store, fly over to pick it up, claim the Aussie GST back, fly back, and it's within $50-$100 of the 2Degrees price [23:31] but you get a holiday out of it too [23:33] haha [23:34] how much is it in aussie? [23:34] except, the math may be wrong now, because it looks like 2Degrees have knocked $100 off the price [23:34] it's only $699 on 2degress now and you'd be doing well to get the flights for that i think? [23:35] mwhudson: hold on, let me hunt my work IRC logs [23:36] not sure about 8 gb vs 16 gb i guess [23:36] 16GB = A$399, when my Aussie colleague checked March 27, $349 for the 8GB [23:37] but yeah, this was when 2D were marketing the price as $800, and A$399 =~ NZ$500 [23:37] oh ok [23:38] * G checks to see if Harvey Norman have dropped the price to match [23:39] nope [23:39] typical I guess, and a pity too [23:40] (I have Harvey Norman vouchers to spend)
