mazalAh this is what I needed:10:51
mazal"Simple Scan10:51
mazalA really easy way to scan both documents and photos. You can crop out the bad parts of a photo and rotate it if it is the wrong way round. You can print your scans, export them to pdf, or save them in a range of image formats."10:51
mazalSo it seems it can go to both pdf and image formats10:51

Dreenthat sounds frikken kewl14:59
Dreen"Does any of this resonate with you? Do you have plenty of experience with (INSERT YOUR OOP LANGUAGE HERE) and have had enough of complecting state and behaviour?"14:59
Dreenthats me14:59
DreenI need to join that user group15:00
Dreenafter I move to CPT that is15:00
ThatGraemeGuy"although we all work remotely, we're close-knit"15:01
ThatGraemeGuycontact them, you needn't be in CT15:01
Dreenyes I think i should, just for the record, i was referring to the use group that meets in observatry 15:02
ThatGraemeGuyah right15:02
Dreenmy fiance and I are planning to move to CPT next year you see :)15:02
tumbleweedI imagine a close resemblance between cognician employees and the cape town clojure user group15:02
Dreenyes indeed15:03
Dreenthanks for the heads up tumbleweed, and for the chat ThatGraemeGuy and Kilos15:03
ThatGraemeGuynp15:03

Dreenchores15:04
DreenI will be! 15:04
not_foundso anybody wanting to get an ubuntu phone?16:07
Vince-0$600 ?16:09
Vince-0not bad16:09
Vince-0but Mozilla is going to beat Ubuntu into the ground16:10
Vince-0PC boot is nice16:16
not_foundwe will see about the mozilla phone... every poll I have seen from users to devs have ubuntu at the top and mozilla and tizen somewhere at the bottom...16:17
Vince-0on Mir? lol nooo16:19
Vince-0I guess iOS has best dev frameworks?16:19
not_foundmost consistent perhaps... oh and what does mir have to do with the price of eggs?16:21
Vince-0isn't mir gonna be on 1310+ and mobile?16:21
Vince-0or at least on Ubuntu for Android16:22
not_foundyes, mir and xmir will be used from 13.10 with x fallback for proprietary graphics drivers16:24
Vince-0I want mobile for PC dock - had high hopes for the Moto stuff with the Lapdocks but meh16:25
Vince-0perhaps new Moto will want this - 4gb RAM, 128GB hdd is plenty for a PC16:25
not_foundthe specs seem good...16:27
not_foundI don't know the new battery tech they are talking about howeber16:27
not_found*however16:27
Kiloshi Vince-0 not_found  16:28
not_foundalo uncle Kilos16:28
Vince-0hi16:28
kbmonkeyhello16:28
Kiloshi kbmonkey 16:29
kbmonkeyI need to read up more on why ubuntu thinks its a good idea to build a separate video stack with Mir16:31
Kiloshttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/06/27/mir-plans-in-13-10/16:32
kbmonkeyalways can count on you Kilos :)16:32
Kilosim reading it too16:32
* kbmonkey screens another lynx16:32
Kilosas long as it works on my pc when 14.04 comes out im happy16:33
* not_found can't pledge $600 for an Ubuntu Phone cause he doesn't have his passwords and his wife isn't answering the phone at home :'(16:35
kbmonkeyI've read a similar thing in mark's announcement for Mir. It does not explain the reasons for not piping those resources to the widely used X server instead. then everyone would benefit16:37
kbmonkeyIt seems like the "not invented here" syndrome16:37
Kilosisnt it to make fones tablets and all work the same16:38
kbmonkeysure. but as it is compatible with legacy X programs then it seems like they are just recreating all that work, they might as well put that effort forth into X itself, so that other distros could also benefit by running on fones and tablets. Or do I miss something important?16:40
Kilos?16:40
kbmonkeyand what is more, since they are working with the hardware vendors to improve display drivers, which is a major issue for most of the closed drivers, it makes even more sense 16:41
inetproGuten Morgen16:46
Kilosguten abend mein herr16:46
inetprooops, I mean good evening16:47
inetproKilos: for R189 I can get a Tap Reseater Tool at Builders Warehouse16:48
Kilosah good16:48
Kilosyou might need it for more taps in the future16:48
not_foundkbmonkey: yes, canonical has the time and money to just make stuff for no good reason...16:48
Kilosif they are all that old that is16:49
inetproand for R80 I can get a Basin Wrench16:49
Kilosand what does a new tap cost16:49
not_foundoh and yes, Mark Shuttleworth is an idiot and needs his ego stroked ... not like he has been to space or anything... oh wait...16:49
inetproeish!16:49
inetproKilos: new taps are crazy expensive16:49
Kilosif you get the wrench and taps arent heavy then replace the tap16:49
inetprostart at about R15016:50
Kilosis it?16:50
Kiloswow16:50
inetprofor one tap16:50
inetproso I be shopping around first16:50
Kilosi remember moaning about R20 for a tap16:50
kbmonkeywelcome to the future Kilos :p16:50
Kiloshahaha16:51
inetproand can't exactly only replace one tap in my basin, will look odd16:51
Kilosya maybe just fix that one then16:52
inetproI'll try16:52
kbmonkeynot_found, these changes are voted on and discussed in a board. let's not start calling names here.16:52
inetprobut first I have to wait for payday16:52
Kilosyou can try silicon and car tube so long16:52
Kilosshould last long16:53
not_foundsorry kbmonkey... didn't think naming Mark would cause offense...16:53
Kilosai! kbmonkey not_found play nice16:54
Kilosthis is a peaceful channel16:54
inetprohmm... 16:54
kbmonkeyoh I don't take offense, ever.16:55
not_foundKilos: :) this be friendly banter (especially for a foss channel) ;)16:55
* not_found slaps kbmonkey around a bit with a large trout16:55
Kilosok16:55
inetproeish!16:55
kbmonkeyI just think it is rude calling him an idiot.16:55
kbmonkeylol!16:56
Kilosinetpro, eish! //16:56
Kilos??16:56
inetproI think Canonical's efforts may very well help the cause of FLOSS16:56
inetprobut perhaps I trust them to much16:57
Vince-0meh, FLOSS is for hippies. 16:57
Kilosoh thought you didnt like the silicon car tube plan16:57
kbmonkeywhat is floss? isn't it foss?16:57
Vince-0I kid, but Canonical is for business hippies16:57
Kilosfree linux16:57
Vince-0free/libre16:57
inetproFLOSS = Free Libre Open Source Software16:57
kbmonkeyNice, thanks inetpro :)16:58
Kilosty goosie16:58
kbmonkeyI have brain-holes16:58
* kbmonkey summons forth the fleas of a thousand camels to infest not_found's armpits16:58
inetprothe fact is that they are still based on Debian and I don't think it will change any time soon16:58
Vince-0and Linux! Don't forget about Linux16:59
Vince-0although Debian has a BSD kernel recently16:59
* Vince-0 shuts trap and studies LPI.17:01
inetprothe strength of Debian lies in its policies 17:01
not_foundkbmonkey: perhaps you missunderstood my point... I was trying to point out the Mark isn't an idiot and I don't think he suffers from the "Not created here" syndrome :)17:02
kbmonkeyall hail the Tux17:03
kbmonkeycool not_found :) just friendly banter17:03
* Vince-0 chimes in17:04
kbmonkeyMaaz, coffee on17:04
* Maaz puts the kettle on17:04
Vince-0and Shut has to make some freakin $$ for a change - 580b doesn't go far these days17:04
not_foundand pledged... bring on the Buntu Phone!!!!17:04
inetprooh and then there is the Debian Social Contract http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html17:05
KilosMaaz, coffee please17:05
MaazKilos: Yessir17:05
* Vince-0 chimes out17:05
kbmonkeyping17:05
kbmonkeywell folks Im going back to work. keep those fishes flying, eh? ;)17:06

not_foundKilos:18:28
not_found:)18:28
Kilosnight neelsie18:28
* inetpro likes the Ubuntu Edge crowd funding idea18:29
inetprowill be very interesting to see that figure grow18:29
not_foundinetpro:I am refreshing constantly...18:30
not_foundso far it is going like a boeing...18:30
not_foundit is a good looking phone <318:31
superflyI'm getting old. I'm ready for bed and is not yet 9pm18:34
not_foundsuperfly: :) it is winter18:40
superflynot_found: 10pm is usually am early night for me. 18:41
superfly*an18:41
not_foundjust means you are tired... get some rest and you will be able to stay up longer again... the body needs what it needs...18:44
inetprosuperfly: it gets worse18:46
inetprowait until you have three kids18:46
superflyinetpro: that won't be happening for a while18:46
inetpronot_found: I'm very surprised, those numbers are rising at an incredible rate18:47
* inetpro wish I had $60018:47
inetproI installed Sleep as Android the other day and it is an amazing app to track your sleep patterns18:49
not_foundI got me a fitbit flex... nice little gadget for steps and sleep monitoring18:50
superflyNight folks. I'm turning in for the night18:50
not_foundinetpro: I don't really have $600....18:50
not_foundbut sometimes you got to do what you got to do :p18:50
not_foundnight superfly18:50
inetpronot_found: you pledged?18:51
inetprogood night superfly18:51
not_foundinetpro: I have ;)18:51
inetprowell done!18:51
not_foundSo anybody interested in a slightly used Galaxy S3?18:51
not_found\o/18:51
inetpronot_found: it will be a long wait still18:51
not_foundtrue... and sadly I don't see them pulling off 32 million18:52
not_foundthat is a lot of $$$18:52
not_foundand at $830 it becomes perhaps just too much ...18:52
inetpronot_found: I seriosuly hope they do18:52
not_foundas do I ... it looks awesome and those specs... *drool*18:53
not_foundthere are a few good news articles about the choice of screen size and resolution...18:53
not_foundnothing about the device is trying to out do some other device, no HD screen because at that size it doesn't add value... screen size chosen because it is optimum for one handed use etc...18:54
inetpronot_found: how long do we have to go until the end of the first day?18:58
inetproI bet you it will be more than $1m at the end of the day18:59
not_foundsome hours... the campaign started about 5 or 6 hours ago as far as I can tell... not sure how long the campaign was live before the announement18:59
not_foundthe first 5 or so mill should be quick... it is the rest I am not so sure off... once the $600 pleadges are all gone or expired the incentive drops slightly18:59
not_foundthey can make a nice $3 mill from the $600 pledges alone19:01
inetproand there goes the $1m mark, within less than 5 hours19:44
