[09:19] or a facebook copy [09:19] getting messages from strange men via it [09:19] Google search briungs up "Meet people on Badoo, Make new friends, Chat, Flirt" Sounds like a combination of facebook & dating [09:20] a combination of facebook & dating [09:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badoo [09:20] Badoo is the internet's most successful hook-up service, run from London by a secretive Russian serial entrepreneur who has refused to b [09:21] somehow i don't think i'll be checking my message from "Ross" === JamesTai1 is now known as JamesTait [09:21] uses my full name...rather :S [09:21] You never know, you could get a pleasant surprise [09:22] chances of that are approaching negative infinity [09:35] anyone know if 4965agn works in n mode on recent kernels yet? [09:48] mungbean, yes! briefly! [09:48] :'( you mean 30 seconds... [09:48] until you get some kind of weird packet? [09:48] i wonder why this has never been fixed? [09:48] have an n router and n card and can't use it [09:53] the newer intel wifi cards do have working n [09:54] it's like the older intel graphics cards that have bugs that were never fixed [09:54] that makes me sad [10:02] Morning all [10:07] Morning davmor2 [10:10] intel want you to buy new things [10:10] perhaps i won't buy intel if the old things never get fixed [10:10] related: security update to intel-microcode package also disables overclocking unless you have an authorized top of the range motherboard chipset [10:13] yay, Good Beer Guide 2014 just came [10:13] is it good? [10:14] it's a huge list of pubs [10:14] sounds good to me [10:15] is there a bad beer guide? [10:15] Does it review the beer?

Women socialize by complimenting each other, and they don't mean it either. [10:22] heh [10:22] some truth in that [10:44] mungbean: mostly men at our LUG, and everybody insults everybody else [10:44] It's going to be quiet without davmor2 tonight [10:46] bigcalm: Oi that's not on I insult every with equal contempt, not just people at the LUG, you ask my manager, popey and czajkowski they'll all confirm it :D [10:46] s/every/everyone [10:46] * czajkowski stabs davmor2 hush you [10:47] bigcalm: see [10:47] :) [11:04] moodoo: what's this about saluting work colleagues you only do that as you leave them forever :D [11:20] Just listening to an interview with the bloke who paid for a twitter advert to complain about British Airways losing his luggage and not responding to normal tweets, just said he paid about $1000 for it, that seems a bit extreme [11:22] how many viewers got to see it? [11:23] "lots" [11:23] spending 1k to vent your rage is rather extreme [11:23] mungbean: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23943480 [11:23] i like to think maybe it saved a life [11:27] * bigcalm returns with non-crackly sound having just edited the pulseaudio config!

Whatever the content; praise or complaint, they *always* sent me a bottle of Veuve Cliquot :-D [11:41] Used to have bottles of the stuff in my rack [11:41] TheOpenSourcerer: what a good idea :) [11:42] Sounds good [11:42] Anyone been to La Manga recently?

[13:01] maybe he got bitten by a møøse [13:02] mgdm: https://metacpan.org/module/Moose ? [13:02] If you get bitten by a moose, you start to understand Perl? [13:02] Blimey, there's one to avoid [13:03] mgdm: at least it's not PHP [13:03] I speak Chinese too, however I always "think" in English - I woke up one morning and couldn't remember any English for the life of me [13:03] came back to me after a few minutes, but that was scary [13:03] MartijnVdS: I've already got that particular variant of brain damage [13:03] thinking in a foreign language is super hard [13:03] Monotoko: that would be weird [13:03] directhex: I manage :P [13:03] Once I'm in an English-speaking country for >2 days, I think in it. [13:03] that happens to me about once a month [13:04] it takes me about three hours to remember how to speak [13:04] no joke [13:04] i thought it was just normal? [13:04] nope [13:04] ali1234: First time it'd happened, and last - I was trying to think how to request help, could think of the word in Chinese [13:04] ali1234: Aphasia? [13:04] but not English [13:05] was going through my options with taking myself to a police station down the street and trying to request a translator [13:05] but luckily it all came back [13:05] i don't speak any other languages... [13:06] ali1234: that is a bit weird [13:06] ali1234: talk to yourself more often [13:07] i haven't spoken to anyone since 8am :( [13:07] i'm at work, and nobody else seems to have come in today [13:07] mungbean: aww [13:07] basically i can only answer yes/no questions when in this state [13:07] ali1234: I'd talk to a doctor about that.. if it happens often (it can be a symptom of a stroke) [13:08] i've always been this way since i was a kid [13:08] can you smell toast? then either someone is making toast or you are having a stroke [13:08] but does sound like brain damage yeah [13:08] mungbean: I've never heard that one [13:09] olfactory hallucinations [13:09] it only happens after i wake up too, it doesn't just spontaneously happen when i'm walking down the street or something [13:09] although the internet wants to tell me it aint true anymore [13:10] sounds like you're still dreaming [13:10] friend of mine has that thing where he wakes up but is frozen stiff [13:10] he can see and is aware he's awake but can't move or speak [13:11] sleep paralysis? [13:11] ya [13:11] sounds related [13:11] [13:11] i dreamt i was mark owen from take that and i hadn't practised the song i had to sing [13:11] (awkward silence) [13:11] shauno: exactly [13:12] I get that sleep paralysis thing too, it's horrible [13:12] did you see the sleep programme last night? [13:12] people who sleep walk / snore / insomniacs / poor sleepers? [13:12] i also get a recurring dream situation where i walk into large toiets and the floor is really slippery/flooded and unhygeinic [13:12] was entertaining laughing at other people's misfortune, oh yes! [13:12] and i fall over or am worried about slipping over [13:13] apparently quite common [13:14] * Dave2 stabs popey a bit [13:20] "Alan is currently making delivery number 102, you are delivery number 122." [13:20] "Alan is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away from you." [13:20] \o/ DPD driver tracking [13:20] popey, wow, that's a new feature [13:20] he's driven all around farnborough, nearly passed my house lots, but never dropped my parcel off [13:21] popey, in theory they've got an optimized route to save petrol. see also http://www.businessinsider.com/ups-efficiency-secret-our-trucks-never-turn-left-2011-3 [13:21] http://ubuntuone.com/2KK403DHqvERxvRMcwXe8N [13:21] how would I go about adding another DNS server? just add the IP to allow-transfer on the master? [13:25] omg, the dude is now literally round the corner! [13:26] Run round the corner and hijack the van [13:27] heh [13:28] We have live vehicle tracking on our maintenance vans so we can let customers know how near the driver is to them [13:29] From memory, it also flags up when they're speeding (or at least what speed they're doing) etc, although nobody looks at the logs for that [13:29] we had one of those at my old company... it flagged up if they were going 71 on a moterway -.- [13:30] I ended up changing it to +15 [13:30] we had one of those too. i made it draw a little 3D van on google earth. nobody else at the company ever looked at it [13:34] This could just have been a windup that I was told, supposedly the wife of one of the fitters came in wanting to know where he'd been on a day because she thought he was having an affair with somebody, they wouldn't tell her, but knowing how many of the fitters are making CSA payments it did sound feasable [13:35] my uncle works for an outfit that go mad over vehicle tracking logs. they'll get flagged for breaking too hard, too often, etc [13:36] not just bad/inappropriate driving, but anything that's counter to a healthy mpg [13:36] i hate people on the road like that [13:36] they give us reckless prius drivers a bad name! [13:37] apparently some of the diesel options over here get better milage than the prius [13:38] well... that's complicated [13:38] the workloads which diesels do well on and the workloads PE hybrids do well on are basically opposites [13:38] i.e. diesels get amazing motorway MPG, prius sucks at motorways [13:39] whereas prius does amazingly in stop-start traffic compared to a diesel [13:41] my seat ibiza tdi was great on motorway. my focus estate 2.0l tdci, not so good [13:42] when the prius can't make use of the electric, it's just a heavy 1.5l or 1.8l (depending on age) petrol car [13:43] how much are prius? [13:44] and what's the round town mpg? [13:46] new? from 22k [13:47] quoted urban mpg is 72.4 [13:47] for the 3rd gen (i have 2nd gen) [13:48] 56.5 for the 2nd gen for urban [13:49] * davmor2 can't see popey at screwfix direct live somehow [13:51] seat ecomotive is far cheaper and comparable mpg [13:52] mungbean, in a comparably sized car? prius is a large 5 door [13:54] the leon is similar size [13:54] but many ££ cheaper too [13:56] "74mpg is the official combined figure, but I think I did better than that. I drove from London to Staffordshire and back, and it cost me about 7p" [14:00] mungbean: what? it's 110 miles to London from Birmingham if you only used a litre of fuel that's still 130-140 and that is one way so you must of used at least £3 as an estimate of a minimum distance travelled :P [14:00] its a quote from a review [14:01] what is true is that prius cost £7k more and comparable efficiency [14:01] maybe the 7k is the "apple tax" [14:06] to be honest all these hybrid cars are doing it wrong, you make it electric from the ground up keep the fuel tank fill it with diesel and have it power an idleing/ondemand generator, because of the small size and low speed of the generator you will use next to no fuel and have effectively and all electric car [14:08] that's how most warships work these days :-) [14:08] except the engines are a bit bigger... [14:09] The problem with that is TAX! [14:14] aaaah having a subwoofer under your desk is so much more satisfying than those piddly speakers, even at low volume [14:20] czajkowski: hmm..... are looking for room-mates and/or sponsoring people for mongodb world? =) [14:20] that hotel is nice!

[14:57] http://i.imgur.com/2OxaFzu.png [14:58] LUCKY GOLDSTAR again? [15:00] allegedly [15:01] i'm pretty sure goldstar was considered a terrible brand in the 80s/90s [15:02] along with alba etc. [15:02] which is why it's just "lg" now :p [15:02] saisho [15:03] matsui [15:03] amstrad ☻ [15:03] I always wondered why Alba were called that, since it's also Gaelic for Scotland [15:03] turns out it's the owner's name contracted a bit [15:04] ariston! [15:04] amstrad were awful. and viglen. whoever repeats that alan sugre is some techno tycoon is just repeating what some other numpty told them [15:04] matsui and saisho were dixons own brand [15:04] figures [15:05] goodmans, bush... [15:05] grundig [15:05] pye [15:06] Alba plc, buying Bush in 1988, and then Goodmans in 1994.

[15:22] Gargoyle: you fill from the pump so you pay the standard rate, that's the point, feul companies are happy fuel is still being bought, eco warriors are happy there are less greenhouse gases, car manufacturers are happy as there are only minor alterations needed to a regular car etc etc [15:22] lol, rewatching the top gear nascar sucks clip [15:23] BigRedS: I have to click, move the mouse, then click to stop GLMatrix [15:23] davmor2: But if there is even a hint that there's a legal loophole, you'll be able to buy the fuel a lot cheaper! [15:24] Gargoyle: you are putting fuel in a car the standard way it powers your car fullstop [15:25] interesting. netgear NAS boxes use butterfs internally [15:25] i hear popey's a fan of that [15:26] interesting indeed [15:26] http://www.anandtech.com/show/6835/readynas-100-300-and-500-series-reboots-netgears-smb-nas-lineup agrees [15:29] i was going by http://www.netgear.com/business/products/storage/ReadyNAS-3220/RN322124E.aspx#two [15:39] nice [16:00] http://www.synology.com/products/product.php?product_name=RS3413xs%2B&lang=uk#p_submenu - thoughts? [16:02] I really like my Synology, no idea about the high-end boxen apart from the fact a friend uses a couple of them for his virtual machines. [16:03] i like the SSD cache thing [16:18] https://www.dropbox.com/s/dkf878qxl5mpyxa/PANO_20130904_161423.jpg [16:18] it's a very misty day down in the harbour [16:18] Condor Vitesse there loading up with tourists to ship off :> [16:20] http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/09/2-45-cube-pc-runs-android-and-linux-on-cortex-a9-arm-chip/ [16:21] another dirt cheap freescale box? [16:21] yup [16:21] My TV stick hasn't arrived yet :( [16:21] it's a lie btw. no video output on any kernel that isn't freescale's heavily patched one. SOC vendors suck [16:21] i think they're on 3.2 now, not 2.6.31 [16:22] * davmor2 throws a stick threw bigcalms tv [16:22] through even [16:22] bad davmor2! [16:23] MartijnVdS: what bigcalm wanted a tv stick I was simply providing one :P [16:23] davmor2: you should just have put glue on it [16:24] I don't want a sticky stick [16:24] no on the tv [16:24] bigcalm: so you stick to the tv [16:27] * bigcalm grumbles at nginx and tracd [16:29] haha trac [16:30] How does one hup a process so that it restarts? [16:30] kill -hup ? [16:30] kill -HUP $pid, yes [16:30] Thanks [16:30] assuming the process is set up to expect that [16:30] not all are [16:31] nginx? [16:31] I would assume that it is [16:32] most likely [16:33] "SIGHUP Reload the configuration, launch new worker process(es) using this new configuration, while gracefully shutting down the old worker processes" [16:33] Ah, I will try SIGHUP in the future [16:34] you send SIGHUP using kill -HUP [16:34] Which is what I did then [16:34] Found out that I can also nginx -s stop [16:34] and then restart it [16:35] yeah, just saying you'd got it right ;) [16:36] An SSL cert has expired for one of our domains (which we are ditching). Until I get the new system 100% working, I need to reallow HTTP access to this trac server. But my web browsers are constantly redirecting HTTP to HTTPS [16:36] This is despite making changes to both nginx and trac [16:36] mgdm: ah, goodo :) [16:36] bigcalm: restart your browser :) [16:36] I'm wondering if it's my web browser [16:36] bigcalm: Using Chrome, or variant? Clear its cache [16:36] actually Firefox probably does that too, but I use it less [16:36] bigcalm: also, if you used HSTS, you'll fail [16:36] mgdm: Chromium and Firefox [16:37] MartijnVdS: HSTS? [16:37] bigcalm: HTTP Strict Transport Security [16:37] MartijnVdS: Is that where it's set up in the SSL cert? [16:37] bigcalm: basically, an extra header in the HTTPS responses indicating to the browser that it can assume https:// for that host/domain for an indicated amount of time [16:37] bigcalm: usually several years :) [16:37] bigcalm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security [16:37] * bigcalm looks at clearing a cache [16:37] no it's response headers [16:38] Boss decided to implement "You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain." [16:38] Good except when a client needs to get to the service [16:39] bigcalm: clients are always a problem [16:39] bigcalm: better to just go without [16:39] MartijnVdS: in an ideal world :) [16:40] okay.. gym o'clock [16:40] *check to see if podcasts have finished downloading* === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:15] *snicker* https://mikepohjola.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/dear-mr-nokia/ [17:34] Myrtti: wonderful :) [17:35] hi folks, has anyone been able to get hotspot feature working ? i need to get my mobile device to be able to use my laptop wifi as it's AP, and then i can do charles proxy, or some other http(s) inspecting proxy tool [17:36] * bigcalm slithers off to the LUG [17:36] the work wifi does let wireless connections hit wired nodes :( so everyone here on a macpoop air/pro uses ICS to get the mobiles to work [17:43] !ics [17:43] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [17:44] NET||abuse: bluetooth sharing may be another option [17:46] daftykins: yeh, i read that page trying to get it working but no joy, also the instructions havn't been updated in a year n' half, so probably not correct for 13.04 [17:46] NET||abuse: you should probably explain in more detail how it didn't work [17:47] ok, just a year ao.
