[04:58] bigcalm: because it's so much FUN! [06:48] morning [07:51] Morning [07:56] yes. [07:56] it is [07:56] how's Jodeee? [08:02] heh [08:08] meow [08:12] Morning all [08:17] It's a good morning from me === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk [08:31] Good morning all, happy Iced Tea Day! :-D [08:38] Iced Tea day? really? [08:39] I have a feeling that every day is a day of something [08:39] Can we go back to doughnut day? [08:39] bigcalm, you might be right. [08:39] BigRedS_: you have a little something trailing after you [08:39] bigcalm, this is my mission - to bring these lesser-known days of celebration to light. [08:40] BigRedS_, it's on the internet, it must be true. ;) [08:40] JamesTait: as far as missions in life go, not a horrible one [08:41] bigcalm, not entirely pointless, either. Some people take life far too seriously, if just one of these odd celebrations makes just one person smile, it's worth it. [08:42] JamesTait: do continue :) [08:42] bigcalm, why thank you, sir, I do believe I will. ;) [08:45] yeah, more doughnut days would be good \o/ [08:46] * bigcalm waves some nuts at christel [08:46] Now you have to find the dough === BigRedS_ is now known as BigRedS [08:51] i'm not particularly fond of nuts... i was thinking more krispy kreme tbf :P [08:51] JamesTait: you can't cite yourself! [08:51] "See, it's in the ubuntu-uk IRC logs, *must* be true" [08:51] Heh [08:52] :-P [08:52] Anybody experience the unity dash and tool tips appearing underneath existing windows? [08:57] maybe [08:57] not recently [08:58] I've never tried one of these Kripsy Kremes, are they that nice ? [08:59] you can get them at tesco [09:03] diplo: if you get them soon after they've been delivered or fresh from one of the places they make them "in-house" then they are quite tasty [09:03] (but only get one, otherwise you'll get sick) [09:03] i buy a dozen at a time [09:04] :D [09:04] My kids would probably love them then! [09:06] tropicana have a competition on their bottles and it seems to requier facebook :-| [09:07] dont they all? [09:07] that's normal these days [09:07] either that or they want your mobile phone number [09:07] ah, on the redirect page that appears for 0.2s you can click "change version" [09:09] I don't enter anything with a facebook only type thing :) [09:09] yep [09:09] but there must be a non fb version of most of those things [09:09] they just make it hard to find [09:09] Well tbh, I don't really enter any comps :) [09:09] and you never win :P [09:10] amazon albums are always cheap unless you're me [09:12] I really must buy some new music soon myself [09:13] I just stream it now [09:14] Hazar for rebooting the workstation from my phone because the machine becomes unusable [09:14] yeah debating that as well, but I've always liked having the music with me, storage is so cheap now [09:14] * popey hugs spotify [09:15] Reason I guess I've not sold myself on it yet is things like riding and having music playing [09:15] how much is spotify? [09:16] £9.99 per month [09:16] oh. [09:16] i spend far less than that on music [09:16] But that's for an account with no adverts and you can then use the mobile apps [09:16] You can have a free account, but it's somewhat limited and full of adverts [09:17] I originally moved to a paid account so I could use the android app [09:17] It's worth it as a service I think [09:21] i still use my mp3 player for music [09:21] since i never have to charge it [09:21] its magical [09:25] I use my phone for everything, to the point my mum now has my nano [09:25] i use my phone for music [09:25] heh,talking about Spotify and I receive an email from them [09:25] NSA!!!!!!! [09:25] haha [09:25] i just wish xbox music wasn't so bad compared to zune [09:25] Still using the windows phone directhex ? [09:26] yeah [09:26] Did they address any of the issues I remember you blogging about ages ago ? [09:26] I've still never seen/used a new windows phone :) [09:26] neither chrome or firefox work with youtube :( [09:26] chrome too fast, ff 1/10 speed [09:27] diplo, some of them [09:28] Well at least that's something [09:28] diplo, e.g. os updates can be done without a windows pc [09:28] mtp-z is gone, can just use normal MTP from linux, or a microsd [09:29] oh, had to kill pulseaudio, weird [09:29] Blimey, standardisation?! good move from them I think [09:31] http://askubuntu.com/a/169472 weird indeed [09:33] Tried all the options ? [09:33] good morning everyone, [09:38] cold in here [09:39] might run a few flash videos to warm up my CPU [09:39] stupid PPI spam calls :( [09:39] :( [09:39] evil scumbags [09:39] * diplo still not had one yet, colleague has at least 1-2 a week [09:40] annoys me that nothing is done about it [09:40] Have you complained to the correct people ? [09:41] waht can you do? i'm on the TPS and it's an unknown number [09:41] Get details about what company and complain to the relevant Of-* [09:42] Or, let them do there spiel and do what a guy did that I watched on telly and told them if they contacted him again he'd invoice them for his time [09:42] And when they did it again he invocied with 30 day payment terms [09:42] And when they didn't pay, he took them to the small claims court :) [09:42] And won! [09:43] He recorded all the conversations though [09:43] haha fantastic [09:43] i'd rather they just not call tbh [09:43] they are automated messages [09:44] Block unknown number on your phone ? [09:44] actually one was from 01618505451 [09:45] mornings christel [09:45] http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01618505451/38 [09:45] 47 pages of people, and they are still operating [09:45] Look it up and phone them every 5 mins all day everyday [09:45] :) [09:46] Automate it with asterixs [09:46] been doing it 3 years, shows that ofcom are toothless [09:48] or ofcom arent doing there job properly, or companies are willing to flout the law for the possible gain it could cause for them. [09:49] morning brobostigon :) [09:49] morning christel :) [10:00] davmor2: Haven't seen anything on the ML about it, but do you know if this week's LUG is at the Pie Factory or not? [10:01] bigcalm: check your inbox again muppet boy [10:01] mmmpie. [10:01] davmor2: just as I hit enter, I see the ML update [10:01] bigcalm: :D [10:03] Thunderbird wants a kicking for being so slow to update [10:03] bigcalm: to be honest I only got it just before your comment :) [10:04] Ah [10:05] <^aDaM> morn :) bigcalm and davmor2 [10:05] <^aDaM> Hope all is well x [10:11] does quidco allow you to retrospectively claim cashback on purchases? [10:12] (i suspect not) [10:12] mungbean: you cna try adn file a claim [10:12] i didn't click the referral link though :( [10:12] or have an account :P [10:13] was a v recent purchase, but suspect big fat NO [10:13] ^aDaM: Good thanks [10:14] mungbean: I'm guessing NO!!!!!!! [10:14] yeah lol [10:14] realised i coulda got 7% on a reasonable sized purchase [10:16] mungbean: then no [10:16] sometimes even clicking on the referral link can not always work and you need to file a claim [10:16] but only if you're an account member [10:16] * czajkowski just got 110 quid back from quidco [10:16] not bad [10:16] i'm a chump for not looking into it before now [10:17] I _always_ forget to use QuidCo [10:17] One of my friends in the last 3 years has got about 2.5k or so back from them now [10:18] wow [10:18] diplo: I mostly do also, but that's about 2 years of using it on and off [10:18] must spend a lot [10:18] mungbean: it can depend some deals ae very good [10:18] very handy for flights! [10:18] yeah, he does _everything_ through it [10:18] But.. he also orders stuff for friends and family as well [10:19] I signed up to that but I never did much with it [10:19] Amazon have now been added though for certain deals so worth me using more now [10:20] diplo: ohhh didnt know that [10:20] I do a lot of amazon shopping [10:20] espeically at christmas time! === Hornet- is now known as Hornet [10:42] pie [10:42] mmm [10:45] Want it to be Wednesday evening right now! [10:46] interesting, the bbc have finally made an android bbc weather app. [10:46] nice [10:47] it seems to be, though, an almost perfect copy of the bbc weather webpages. [10:47] well I'm installing it now [10:48] Does it have a widget? [10:48] bigcalm: yes. [10:48] * bigcalm takes a look [10:48] when I saw that it had a widget, I was sold [10:49] why ? [10:49] because good free weather apps are like gold dust [10:50] i wouldnt call it good yet, adequate might be better. [10:51] sure sure, but I'm sure it'll get better [10:51] and if it doesn't have adds: bonus [10:51] fair point, [10:51] I quite like the Met Office one [10:51] me also. [10:53] however both need landscape modes, for tablets, which they dont. [10:56] I just use the website for weather forecasts to be honest, doesn't matter how good an app is, its only as good as the weather itself :) [10:57] <^aDaM> I dont beleav the waether. [10:57] <^aDaM> beleave* [10:57] Probably 75% of weather apps are a 'damp squib' [10:57] Just like british weather [10:57] DJones: you're in England man the weather is always bad [10:57] <^aDaM> hahahah I live in the countrysides its worse here then the city. [10:58] <^aDaM> Wind is bad :/ [11:00] davmor2: I'd probably say the weather is mostly average in cheshire rather than bad, we're protected from most bad weather, welsh hills to the south, penines to the east, so we rarely get the bad weather, generally, its better than average, but not quite as warm as the south coast [11:00] ^aDaM: I counter your claim with the fact that dyson got his idea for the funnel vacuum from our carpark. It blows a a gale force wind on it when the leaves on the trees are only just moving :) [11:00] Also forgot, protected from the Atlantic by Ireland [11:01] * popey discovered android has a widget for doing shazam-like song detection [11:01] DJones: I'm in wolverhampton today is grey and likely to rain [11:02] popey: shazam has a widget for doing shazam song detection :P [11:02] how is the new google keybaord ? [11:02] davmor2: Looking out the window, its a bit hazy, but no signifcant cloud [11:02] this is faster than shazam [11:02] mungbean: I like it, I've dropped Swype in favour of it [11:02] popey: oh nice [11:02] DJones: thats enough for me [11:02] hope it works on old android [11:03] mungbean: Don't think it does, pretty sure it requires 2.3 or above (may even need ICS) [11:03] argh [11:03] Double check it though, I could be wrong [11:03] This item is not compatible with your device. [11:04] stick with touchpal [11:04] although i don't like it [11:15] In byobu does the little question mark in a box next to the uptime mean reboot required (on a 12.04 box) [11:16] w [11:16] poooosibly [12:37] if a domain expires in july and i suspect it may not be renewed, what's the best and cheapest steps? [12:42] To pre-empt getting it ? [12:45] there are companies who will 'snipe' the domain when it comes back on the market [12:45] which is ~4months after the expiry [12:45] which would be best if you reckon anyone else might want it [12:47] Depending who you're with I believe 123 do it, never tried it though [12:50] DJones, it's a white "go around" kind of arrow on a blue background? Reboot. [12:51] awilkins: Thanks, its so tiny I can't really tell, but sounds about right, blue background did say reboot/restart & I get a restart needed message when I log in anyway, so was assuming that was what it meant [12:59] OMG one of my devs just said he didn't see how automated testing would be a benefit to a web project [13:00] * awilkins clears a percussive cranial therapy zone on his desk [13:00] i want to get the domain when it comes available [13:01] do companies tend to buy up every domain that lapses? [13:01] Given they tend to buy up every domain that you do a WHOIS for, I think so, yes [13:02] * awilkins was bitten by those scum at GoDaddy [13:02] Searched a domain at them, went to think about it.... next day, it's bought by "Domains by proxy LLC" who are owned by GoDaddy [13:02] whois on the command line? [13:03] mungbean, Dunno, but I've been suspicious of it ever since [13:03] Definitely don't use their web UI to look for domains [13:03] awilkins: I always go for something I sorta want and get the option for the one I want to buy from the choices :) [13:03] Unless you're pretty clear you want to buy it there and then [13:03] I honestly don't know how what awilkins says works, but I do think they're doing something :) [13:04] I had something specific in mind - a two-word domain name [13:04] Two dictionary word domains are like gold (if the one-worders are platinum now) [13:04] Wonder who has domains.com [13:05] Looks like a set of right dodgy gits [13:05] If you want one that's registered, I think the procedure is to pay a sniper to get it for you [13:05] meh [13:05] i don't want it badly enough [13:06] sucks though [13:06] I have the .uk and .net variants of my preferred domain now [13:06] tbh i never had a domain name, i should stop collecting stuff i don't need [13:06] Ok, not the .net [13:07] Just the .me.uk, .co.uk and .eu ones [13:09] eu is a ripoff [13:10] I think I got it on special offer [13:10] It was a cheap ripoff [13:10] 1yr cheap, >1 yr ripoff [13:10] 123-reg backorder a domain for 49.99 [13:10] ch-ching [13:10] I was just so pleased that the domain registrar I was using were obviously not total assholes that I was happy to give them a "tip" [13:11] heard a few people recommend Ghandi, going to move one of my domains there and have a play [13:12] not keen on their motto [13:12] Ghandi is who I used [13:12] GANDI [13:12] I like their motto [13:12] Trademarked as well [13:12] Heheheheh [13:13] Will move one in the next week or so before move of office, so I can play with some setups on work line :) [13:14] hi, just listened to the latest podcast, great work as always [13:20] ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header [13:20] get_iplayer can't get 219 [13:20] anyone else with this prob? [13:23] Don't use it, well haven't for a long time, if you don't get any help I can install [13:24] there's a few people in here hopefully who use it [13:26] mungbean: saw someone else report that on the get_iplayer mailing list [13:26] all progs? [13:26] they only reported one [13:26] just upgrading all files [13:26] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2013-June/004245.html [13:26] Ah, I had that the other day and assumed it was my net connection beiung rubbish [13:28] cheers guys, i will try what's proposed on https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/swfurl [13:28] get-iplayer is broke without the workaround then [13:29] shoudn't have dist-upgaded [13:30] get_iplayer --prefs-add --rtmp-tv-opts="--swfVfy=http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/releases/iplayer/revisions/617463_618125_4/617463_618125_4_emp.swf" [13:30] works , cheers chaps [13:44] why didn't anyone tell me there's a 4od-dl [13:45] ooh, neat [13:45] does it remove the ads, too? that's naughty... [13:45] about to find out [13:46] written for mac [13:46] may work on linux [13:46] I'd test it from here, but I'd probably get told off... [13:47] AtomicParsley is a great name === Catastrophix is now known as RadiumCat [13:53] Unfortunately at the moment the script can't handle programs where the AIS data has a streamUri containing a url with a f4m extension [14:00] download consistently fails at 19% [14:00] 10% now [14:00] typical 4od [14:00] even fails on teh CLI [14:01] Isn't channel4 hosted on google now adays along with Channel 5 ? [14:01] * diplo not looked in a long time [14:02] C5 and C5 have a lot of stuff on YouTube, but that's not their primary location [14:02] can't download 4od stuff off youtube [14:02] wrong country etc [14:02] youtube [14:05] seems to be trailers and not prgorammes [14:08] 4od worked on 10th go.

[14:40] maybe it's just too old for this hardware [14:49] not to worry, just got around it [15:12] write speed to usb stick : 2MB/s [15:13] it is not quicker to copy stuff to usb to take home :P === naderp is now known as oberluz [15:13] haha [15:13] get a better one ;) [15:20] i usually use what's in my pocket at any given time [15:20] upgrade your pocket :> [15:22] ck oberluz === naderp is now known as oberluz [15:40] wow. apt-get install hal seems to fix 4od [15:41] Laney: popey https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7541845248/h6B7E04F8/ [15:41] free fable 3 on xbox 360 due to some pricing glitch [15:43] you have to be an Xbox Live Gold member to take advantage [15:44] no biggy [15:44] and you need an xbox [15:44] mungbean please don't say silly things, i'm sharing in case anyone has one [15:44] heh [15:45] czajkowski: :3 [15:45] mungbean: it also fixes google play, it's a problem with drm in flash [15:45] ah yes, couldn't remember where i'd seen it before [15:45] allows google movies [15:45] the 4od thing has had me for a year though [15:46] mrs wanted to know why series 2 of something worked, and series 1 did not === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [17:37] I thought after Britains (not) got talent, Here comes honey boo boo etc, I didn't think tv could get any worse, but http://www.channel4.com/programmes/confessions-of-an-alien-abductee/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1 looks like a case of broadcasting from the asylum === marlinc_ is now known as marlinc === DGJones is now known as DJones [18:03] DJones: those people need to be seen too [18:03] DJones: if only as a warning === davmor2_ is now known as davmor2 === jpds is now known as Guest72281 === slvr_ is now known as slvr === clayts is now known as cptcl [19:57] /j #bluez-users === clayts is now known as cptcl [19:57] bouncey bouncey [19:58] sorry :) haha [19:58] ^_^ [20:55] hmm, can someone do me a favour and install "predict" and then run it [20:55] set your lat/long (if you don't know it, use this to find out http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html) [20:55] then press P to predict a satellite and press X for "ISS". It doesn't show predictions [20:56] it does for other satellites like hubble [20:57] I wonder if it needs to be provided new keppler elements? iirc the IIS has a more volatile orbit than most [20:57] hmm [20:58] it's a stab in the dark, but that'd be my first guess if it seems to be working otherise [20:58] aha, there's a mini-script in the man page for updating [20:58] that did it! [20:58] thanks === issyl0 is now known as Guest69200 [21:02] most satellites don't change often, because predictable is their day job, and fuel is finite. the IIS is an oddball because it actually gets refueled, and has to worry more about babying a squishy payload than predictability [21:02] gah [21:02] did anyone watch the fall just now? [21:06] hrmph,, being upset by chrome flash, youtube videos are all chipmunk speed [21:09] and so are video streams === Guest69200 is now known as issyl0 [21:09] playback of mp4 file on my local webserver directly in browser is chipmunking it, but vlc on the same url is fine [21:10] why is this messed up now? [21:10] kill and restart pulseaudio [21:10] ubuntu 12.10 chrome 27.0.1453.110 [21:10] e.g. pulseaudio -k [21:10] popey: but this is going on all week across reboots [21:10] tgry it? [21:11] -g [21:11] well, ok it worked [21:11] weird [21:11] but it'll happen again on reboot, [21:11] i can fix now,, thanks for that, but what a pain [21:13] any idea if this will be solved? [21:19] if someone files it as a bug, sure [21:20] (ppst, popey means you! :D ) [21:25] omw how many tabs have i got open O_O [21:28] nice one Google, released a new 'Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook' program to support Outlook 2013, which has broken the program for older Office versions forcing you to resync ¬_¬ [21:30] I really really really (really) do not miss having to use Windows [21:31] that's not really a factor of Windows [21:31] But using Outlook is [21:31] there are plenty of things that break in Ubuntu :D [21:32] this is a client of mine anywho [21:35] * bigcalm chuckles at Untappd [21:35] "Woah! You’ve had at least five beers that the Untappd founders have had. That’s tough since we like a wide variety of beers. Obviously you’re just trying to be cool like us!" [21:36] ? [21:37] http://t.co/5SptsWAx8m [21:37] that sounds like an amusing app [21:37] * Laney gets [21:38] It's like Foursquare for ale [21:38] ugh Newcy [21:38] :D [21:38] can I add beers I've had in the past? [21:38] Not tried, maybe [21:39] can't stop me I guess :P [21:39] :P [21:39] anyone a Google Reader user that's found a decent new version with an Android app and browser use that keep sync'd? [21:43] been using feedly, seems good enough [21:44] Laney: you're drinking your beers quickly ;) [21:45] * Laney chugs [21:45] Laney: i don't like the android app :( [21:45] why's that [21:45] well for example i want to see read ones listed too [21:46] just looking how to do that now but i'm not sure it can be done 0o [21:46] I don't understand what that means :( [21:46] 'see read ones'? [21:46] i want read articles visible [21:46] yeah my bad [21:46] oh [21:47] * Laney tries achiang's one [21:47] readraven.com [21:48] daftykins: menu thing next to search and then show all articles (or something like that) [21:49] (on my tablet - menu thing might be the actual meu button if you have one...) [21:50] * dwatkins rejoices at finally being able to install mumble after two upgrades and a complete rebuild of sources.list [21:50] ormiret: does that give you a different colour/style to the 'read' articles? [21:51] yes; grey titles for red, black for new [21:51] or read rather than red [21:51] ooh yeah, it's really subtle [21:52] ormiret: thanks for that :) playing with the chrome 'app' now too [21:54] <^2fC> daftykins: had fun on Doom 3 I have to say it feels so much better for FPS and Ping then Windows. [21:54] only thing still annoying me about feedly is turning all pictures into a link to pinterest (really annoying in things like flikr feeds where the picture should be a link to the flikr page).
