[10:49] and now the little corner is clear for me herb garden [10:49] am tempted t cut the front lawn [10:50] or else go out and put the chickens there but they may fly away [10:50] but my sudden onset of hay fever is leading me to not stop sneezing :/ [10:55] :( [11:04] I'm stuck in an office. [16:10] MooDoo: everyday? [16:11] MooDoo: (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858843728/) [16:14] MartijnVdS: lol [16:15] thanks [16:18] This headline almost had me confused about the current state of science: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22678580 [16:24] oh which film is it... Demolition man? [16:26] penguin42: read "graffiti" as "gravity" [16:26] MartijnVdS: Oh yeh that would be a bit different [16:27] "anti-gravity drones?" "oh wait" [16:29] it would be an interesting way of dealing with graffiti artists [16:44] Good afternoon peeps :) [16:47] \o [16:49] MartijnVdS: having a nice and quiet Monday while us Brits have had the day off? [16:50] bigcalm: yeah, read some email [16:50] and some email [16:50] and some email [16:50] and some email [16:50] The first day back at work after holidays 8-) [16:51] yeh I'm back tomorrow after being off for just over a week - that's going to hurt [16:52] I also got the CC bill for my week in England 8-) [16:53] or should I say, :( [17:01] phew.... & that's a complete borked system reinstalled, recovered from [various] backups & configured to my liking! [17:01] ...so hi again world! ;) [17:02] hi SuperEngineer :) [17:02] hi MartijnVdS - nice to be back! [17:02] * MartijnVdS wants Haswell to come out [17:06] MartijnVdS: That's going to hurt your credit card bill a lot more [17:06] penguin42: nah, I have everything except motherboard, CPU, memory [17:06] penguin42: I think it'll hurt about the same [17:07] heck, you must have been contributing a lot to our economy.... [17:07] penguin42: you seemed to need it 8-) [17:07] penguin42: judging by the state of some roads [17:08] ahem yes [17:08] MartijnVdS: Where did you get to ? [17:08] penguin42: Land's End [17:08] doesn't that look the same as most other ends of other crinkly islands? [17:08] penguin42: https://plus.google.com/photos/100189567362844794281/albums/5877491002319853233 [17:09] penguin42: our (Dutch) coast is mostly sand. And a few man-made stones in places. [17:09] penguin42: Land's End and Lulworth Cove are quite different [17:09] MartijnVdS: Ah you've mostly made your coast nice and straight [17:11] straight is easy to monitor for leaks ;) [17:12] there is a straight canal somewhere near Cambridge that was built by the Dutch [17:14] Who else :) [17:24] Hello. Any budding DJ's out there managed to get a Numark Omni Controller to work with Ubuntu? [17:24] I 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? [17:26] Yes. 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. [17:27] I'm trying to help him out, as I think I may have a potential Ubuntu convert :) [17:27] ok, but what is this beast - some type of keys/buttons/something? [17:28] http://www.numark.com/product/omnicontrol As far as I can tell, the control events are all done via MIDI over USB... [17:28] but I might be wrong [17:29] He'd be happy with just the controls working. Soundcard stuff he can do elsewhere. [17:30] isleofmandan: There are loads of midi packages in the Ubuntu repos - I'm just not sure which are good/relevant [17:30] Neither am I... Just reading through Google hits at the moment. I popped in here just in case someone had solved this problem before! [17:31] Thanks anyway. === popey_ is now known as popey [19:27] evening [19:42] evening [19:43] * mungbean regrets going near the outdoors today [19:43] hayfeverish [20:52] Good evening peeps :) [20:52] evening bigcalm :) [20:52] hiu [20:57] What's happening kids?
