[17:35] <mokmeister> ahoy!
[17:36] <zmoylan> awho?
[17:39] <mokmeister> hehe, hello zmoylan
[17:39] <zmoylan> hi mokmeister, enjoying the cooler weather?
[17:40] <mokmeister> Jeez, I duuno about cooler, found it kinda humid today, was sweating like I was in a sauna today. I suppose a bit of humidity and a bit of manual labour can do that to you! ;)
[17:41] <zmoylan> well dublin has 100% humidity at the mo so it is coming down :-)
[17:43] <mokmeister> Yeah, some mad rain showers, but apart from that it's been mostly nice.
[17:43] <zmoylan> doesn't feel like ireland if it's not raining
[17:43] <mokmeister> lol
[17:43] <Belgarath> it was fine when it wasn't
[17:43] <Belgarath> felt like ireland all the same
[17:43] <Belgarath> :)
[17:44] <mokmeister> Nah, dull grey constant mist feels more like Ireland!
[17:44] <mokmeister> hi Belgarath
[17:45] <Belgarath> I don't know about mist it sort of diffiult to see one
[17:47] <mokmeister> Question for ye: Do ye use skype or hangouts and if so have ye experienced any audio issues since upgrading to 13.04?
[17:47] <Belgarath> skype
[17:47] <Belgarath> no issues
[17:48] <Belgarath> as for hanouts i rearly use them so ti is hard to comment
[17:48] <Belgarath> but i have a real sound card in my pc :)
[17:48] <czajkowski> any takers http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1j166z/hi_im_mark_shuttleworth_founder_of_ubuntu/
[17:48] <mokmeister> Belgarath: What kind of webcam do you have?
[17:48] <mokmeister> czajkowski: Cool, will check it out
[17:49] <Belgarath> mokmeister: ps3 eye
[17:50] <zmoylan> don't use skype, voip or hangouts.  unsociable sod that i am :-)
[17:58] <mokmeister> Belgarath: so you use your PS3 for skyping or you have your PS3 eye working on Ubuntu?
[17:58] <Belgarath> just ps3 eye as a usb camera
[17:58] <mokmeister> ok
[17:58] <mokmeister> cool
[17:58] <Belgarath> got one extra with soem game where i didn't intend too
[17:58] <Belgarath> and it is prettty decent qwuality
[17:59] <zmoylan> always good to have a backup
[17:59] <mokmeister> indeed, good stuff
[17:59] <mokmeister> I have a feeling it's something to do with the webcam, just not sure
[17:59] <mokmeister> Logitech Quickcam 9000
[18:00] <mokmeister> did a bit of reading on it there last night and there do seem to be some issues floating around with hangouts and skype and pulse audio. Didn't find any solutions though.
[18:01] <mokmeister> Was hoping a quick fix would be to swap out the camera
[20:39] <mokmeister> Have been reading that reddit AMA. Very interesting.
[20:39] <mokmeister> Some very good points in it.
[20:40] <mokmeister> Personally would like to see an open device, how practical that is I don't know.
[20:40] <mokmeister> I suppose the fact that the vivaldi isn't open points to the fact that it isn't really all that easy to use open hardware
[20:41] <mokmeister> Fairtrade hw and supply channels would be important also, especially considering the fact that Ubuntu is "Linux for Human Beings"
[20:43] <mokmeister> I found Mark Shuttleworth's comment regarding community based crowd funding producing a better phone than one person interesting.
[20:44] <mokmeister> Also the realism regarding being unable to compete without losing against mainstream phone manufacturers for me shows how clued in he is.
[20:45] <mokmeister> He's someone to admire, for as much as what he is trying to do as for what he has already achieved.
[20:45] <mokmeister> met.ie
[20:46] <mokmeister> doh! Sorry, not meant for here! :D
[20:49] <mokmeister> Jaysus, the old weather forecast doesn't look great.
[20:50] <mokmeister> Dry spells with thundery showers and local spot flooding.
