penguin42MartijnVdS: Oh yeh that would be a bit different16:26
MartijnVdS"anti-gravity drones?" "oh wait"16:27
penguin42it would be an interesting way of dealing with graffiti artists16:29

* MartijnVdS wants Haswell to come out17:02
penguin42MartijnVdS: That's going to hurt your credit card bill a lot more17:06
MartijnVdSpenguin42: nah, I have everything except motherboard, CPU, memory17:06
MartijnVdSpenguin42: I think it'll hurt about the same17:06
penguin42heck, you must have been contributing a lot to our economy....17:07
MartijnVdSpenguin42: you seemed to need it 8-)17:07
MartijnVdSpenguin42: judging by the state of some roads17:07
penguin42ahem yes17:08
penguin42MartijnVdS: Where did you get to ?17:08
MartijnVdSpenguin42: Land's End17:08
penguin42doesn't that look the same as most other ends of other crinkly islands?17:08
MartijnVdSpenguin42: https://plus.google.com/photos/100189567362844794281/albums/587749100231985323317:08
MartijnVdSpenguin42: our (Dutch) coast is mostly sand. And a few man-made stones in places.17:09
MartijnVdSpenguin42: Land's End and Lulworth Cove are quite different17:09
penguin42MartijnVdS: Ah you've mostly made your coast nice and straight17:09
MartijnVdSstraight is easy to monitor for leaks ;)17:11
penguin42there is a straight canal somewhere near Cambridge that was built by the Dutch17:12
MartijnVdSWho else :)17:14
isleofmandanHello. Any budding DJ's out there managed to get a Numark Omni Controller to work with Ubuntu?17:24
penguin42I wouldn't know what one of those is or how to use it; and I'm not a DJ - but is it some form of controller?17:24
isleofmandanYes. Asking for a friend, who I've persuaded to try Ubuntu this afternoon. He loves it so far, except his DJ stuff won't work.17:26
isleofmandanI'm trying to help him out, as I think I may have a potential Ubuntu convert :)17:27
penguin42ok, but what is this beast - some type of keys/buttons/something?17:27
isleofmandanhttp://www.numark.com/product/omnicontrol   As far as I can tell, the control events are all done via MIDI over USB...17:28
isleofmandanbut I might be wrong17:28
isleofmandanHe'd be happy with just the controls working. Soundcard stuff he can do elsewhere.17:29
penguin42isleofmandan: There are loads of midi packages in the Ubuntu repos - I'm just not sure which are good/relevant17:30
isleofmandanNeither am I... Just reading through Google hits at the moment. I popped in here just in case someone had solved this problem before!17:30
isleofmandanThanks anyway.17:31
