directhexbrobostigon, well, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn8Sd013sM8 might be indicative. On the left is the old Second Life scripting system, LSL. on the right is the same script compiled using mono, which is now standard in second life.11:57
brobostigondirecthex: interesting,11:58
brobostigonbbl, meds to pickup from chemist, hope i stay dry.11:59
directhexusing something like Mono for this type of game engine is reasonably logical. The Sims 3 is a good example of it11:59

mgdmdogmatic69: which bit of that script did you use? The .deb or the second bit?16:20
dogmatic69mgdm: the deb iirc16:20
dogmatic69was a while back16:20
mgdmwell, just remove the .deb - sudo apt-get remove elasticsearch16:21
mgdm(I think it's remove, at least)16:21
dogmatic69normally I use apt-get remove, ye.16:21
dogmatic69maybe I did not use the deb then...16:21
mgdmin that case you probably want to just remove /usr/local/share/elasticsearch16:21
mgdm(which, by the way, is a really strange place to put it)16:21
dogmatic69ok, its fine to just rm -r it?16:22
dogmatic69it being that folder.16:22
mgdmmake sure it's stopped first, but yeah (subject to the usual disclaimer; if you break it you get to keep all the bits ;-)16:22

dogmatic69its only my dev box for doing work / making a living on...16:23
mgdmwell, tar it up and keep it somewhere if you're concerned16:23

AzelphurAnyone got any good suggestions for cheap curtains? I got 8 Windows all with no curtains, so stuff it's looking rather expensive :(19:24
mgdmYou've got Windows 8 with no curtains...?19:24
* mgdm flees19:24
popeyAzelphur: for cheap curtains see "blinds"19:25
directhexblinds aren't really cheap either19:26
Azelphurpopey: haha, yea been looking for that too, it's a bit difficult because of the size required though, need ~2m drop, 1m wide19:26
directhexthe cheapest curtains are the pre-sized ones that come shrink-wrapper. if find some that fit your windows. anything else means custom curtains means ££££££££££££££££££££££££££19:26
popey+119:26
MyrttiAzelphur: "ikea"19:26
popeydepends on the blinds19:26
directhexyes, ikea is worth considering. dirt cheap compared to non-ikea19:27
Myrttiikea and mum's sewing machine19:27
directhexit may still be cheaper to buy premade curtains & have them adjusted at a dry cleaners than to have custom curtains done19:27
directhexe.g. for the boy's bedroom we had pre-made tab top curtains converted to track top19:27
Azelphurdidn't think of ikea, will check them19:28
Myrttihttp://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/4700741202/in/set-7215760407515503119:28

shaunomum's sewing machine ftw.  curtains aren't difficult.  curtain tape is <50p/metre, and the rest magically falls into place19:30

popeyawwww19:30
Myrttimost ikea curtains have so much excess that if you have a sewing machine available the excess can be used as curtain tie-backs19:31
Myrttiespecially with the ridiculously low ceiling height of UK apartments19:31

popeydirecthex: how can I find out why (for example) on debian sid, libc6:i386 trails behind libc6:amd64? there should be build logs or something?20:05
diplo_evening all20:06
=== diplo_ is now known as diplo
directhexpopey, there are build logs for debian, at buildd.debian.org20:07
directhexhttps://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=eglibc20:07
directhexso, there won't be a build log for architectures where the package was compiled by the maintainer and uploaded. debian requires binary uploads, not source-only uploads (sigh)20:08
directhexthere's a delay from a package being in "installed" state and being in your local mirror, too20:08
AzelphurCan anyone with a VPN and an android phone do me a favour and tell me if when wifi tethering is enabled, does the phone route all data through your VPN?20:09
