[08:33] <brobostigon> good morning everyone,
[09:16] <MooDoo> hello br
[09:16] <MooDoo> hello brobostigon
[09:18] <brobostigon> hello MooDoo

[10:26] <Laney> blurg
[10:26] <Laney> bank holiday gardening
[10:26] <Laney> bleddy invasive ivy
[10:48] <czajkowski> lol
[10:48] <czajkowski> at least it's nice weather for it
[10:49] <Laney> yes!
[10:49] <Laney> and now the little corner is clear for me herb garden
[10:49] <czajkowski> am tempted t cut the front lawn
[10:50] <czajkowski> or else go out and put the chickens there but they may fly away
[10:50] <czajkowski> but my sudden onset of hay fever is leading me to not stop sneezing :/
[10:55] <Laney> :(
[11:04] <MooDoo> I'm stuck in an office.
[16:10] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: everyday?
[16:11] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858843728/)
[16:14] <MooDoo> MartijnVdS: lol
[16:15] <MooDoo> thanks
[16:18] <MartijnVdS> This headline almost had me confused about the current state of science: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22678580
[16:24] <penguin42> oh which film is it... Demolition man?
[16:26] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: read "graffiti" as "gravity"
[16:26] <penguin42> MartijnVdS: Oh yeh that would be a bit different
[16:27] <MartijnVdS> "anti-gravity drones?" "oh wait"
[16:29] <penguin42> it would be an interesting way of dealing with graffiti artists
[16:44] <bigcalm> Good afternoon peeps :)
[16:47] <MartijnVdS> \o
[16:49] <bigcalm> MartijnVdS: having a nice and quiet Monday while us Brits have had the day off?
[16:50] <MartijnVdS> bigcalm: yeah, read some email
[16:50] <MartijnVdS> and some email
[16:50] <MartijnVdS> and some email
[16:50] <MartijnVdS> and some email
[16:50] <MartijnVdS> The first day back at work after holidays 8-)
[16:51] <penguin42> yeh I'm back tomorrow after being off for just over a week - that's going to hurt
[16:52] <MartijnVdS> I also got the CC bill for my week in England 8-)
[16:53] <MartijnVdS> or should I say, :(
[17:01] <SuperEngineer> phew.... & that's a complete borked system reinstalled, recovered from [various] backups & configured to my liking!
[17:01] <SuperEngineer> ...so hi again world!   ;)
[17:02] <MartijnVdS> hi SuperEngineer :)
[17:02] <SuperEngineer> hi MartijnVdS  - nice to be back!
[17:02]  * MartijnVdS wants Haswell to come out
[17:06] <penguin42> MartijnVdS: That's going to hurt your credit card bill a lot more
[17:06] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: nah, I have everything except motherboard, CPU, memory
[17:06] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: I think it'll hurt about the same
[17:07] <penguin42> heck, you must have been contributing a lot to our economy....
[17:07] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: you seemed to need it 8-)
[17:07] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: judging by the state of some roads
[17:08] <penguin42> ahem yes
[17:08] <penguin42> MartijnVdS: Where did you get to ?
[17:08] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: Land's End
[17:08] <penguin42> doesn't that look the same as most other ends of other crinkly islands?
[17:08] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: https://plus.google.com/photos/100189567362844794281/albums/5877491002319853233
[17:09] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: our (Dutch) coast is mostly sand. And a few man-made stones in places.
[17:09] <MartijnVdS> penguin42: Land's End and Lulworth Cove are quite different
[17:09] <penguin42> MartijnVdS: Ah you've mostly made your coast nice and straight
[17:11] <MartijnVdS> straight is easy to monitor for leaks ;)
[17:12] <penguin42> there is a straight canal somewhere near Cambridge that was built by the Dutch
[17:14] <MartijnVdS> Who else :)
[17:24] <isleofmandan> Hello. Any budding DJ's out there managed to get a Numark Omni Controller to work with Ubuntu?
[17:24] <penguin42> 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] <isleofmandan> 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] <isleofmandan> I'm trying to help him out, as I think I may have a potential Ubuntu convert :)
[17:27] <penguin42> ok, but what is this beast - some type of keys/buttons/something?
[17:28] <isleofmandan> http://www.numark.com/product/omnicontrol   As far as I can tell, the control events are all done via MIDI over USB...
[17:28] <isleofmandan> but I might be wrong
[17:29] <isleofmandan> He'd be happy with just the controls working. Soundcard stuff he can do elsewhere.
[17:30] <penguin42> isleofmandan: There are loads of midi packages in the Ubuntu repos - I'm just not sure which are good/relevant
[17:30] <isleofmandan> 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] <isleofmandan> Thanks anyway.
[19:27] <popey> evening
[19:42] <mungbean> evening

[21:05] <popey> he said "I'm not surprised!"

[21:14] <popey> until saturday
[21:22] <bigcalm> Aha
[21:23] <bigcalm> I found a tailor to make me a suit at a reasonable price. That's everything I need to arrange I think. Rest is up to Hayley now :)
