| blazemore | Is this a social channel? | 09:57 |
| DGJones | Fairly social :) | 09:58 |
| DGJones | Most things get talked about/discussed as long as they're not too far away from reasonable discussion | 09:59 |
| brobostigon | and reasonable discussion includes talking about beer and curry, :) | 10:00 |
| Laney | we are a social channel for social people | 10:00 |
| DGJones | Just don't mention the war | 10:01 |

| popey | "These are not phones, and cannot connect to a GSM network." | 11:57 |
| MartijnVdS | So.. 3G only? :P | 11:58 |

| popey | Oh dear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-24028902 | 12:00 |
| mungbean | any closer pics of the letterbox? | 12:01 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| mungbean | i mean "letterbox" | 12:01 |
| popey | unsurprising self-promotion from Geller | 12:03 |
| popey | my nephew lives in Sonning. I should get him to take a better pic. | 12:03 |
| popey | http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/local-news/post-box-prank-mystifies-villagers-5874497 | 12:04 |
| mungbean | wikipedia says uri geller is a magician | 12:04 |
| mungbean | so he's admitted he was a fraud in the 80s then? | 12:05 |
| mungbean | " URI GELLER has lifted the lid on his secret past as a SPY - and told how his spoon-bending antics were just a cover." | 12:05 |
| mungbean | so say the sun | 12:05 |
| popey | he calls himself a mystifier | 12:06 |
| mungbean | thats one way to distance yourself from fraud.."it was a cover up for spying" | 12:06 |
| ali1234 | uh...not really | 12:06 |
| mungbean | ah he claims he was in psychic ops | 12:07 |
| directhex | it;s not fraud unless you claim to talk to the dead | 12:07 |
| MartijnVdS | psycho ops | 12:07 |
| mungbean | For years Geller was apparently part of the CIA’s psychic opps programme whose brief was to organise mind-reading against the enemy. The programme was closed in 1995, but Geller will confirm that after 9/11 he got a call. “The only thing I can tell you is that I was reactivated.” And that he happened to be with Michael Jackson the day before. | 12:07 |
| directhex | in which case there's a law requiring you to only talk to the dead legitimately | 12:08 |
| directhex | The Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951 | 12:08 |
| mungbean | he's made many fraudulent claims | 12:09 |
| ali1234 | nobody really believes it though | 12:09 |
| ali1234 | so who cares? | 12:09 |
| mungbean | yeah, TV loved him in the 80s | 12:09 |
| directhex | ali1234, this country is filled with morons. "psychics" of all stripes are a multi-million pound industry | 12:09 |
| directhex | mungbean, his career was destroyed overnight by james randi, thankfully | 12:09 |
| ali1234 | not my problem if stupid people want to waste their money | 12:10 |
| directhex | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9w7jHYriFo | 12:10 |
| ali1234 | actually if the vast majority of the world didn't regularly flush all their money down the toilet civilization would probably collapse | 12:10 |
| awilkins | I see mediums advertised in pubs around here all the time | 12:10 |
| awilkins | It's sad, this area is a hotbed of evangelical Christianity and other mental diseases | 12:10 |
| directhex | ali1234, it's explicitly evil. see also south park 6x15, "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" | 12:11 |
| popey | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdTqpscvaw4&feature=related also | 12:11 |
| ali1234 | perhaps, but on the galactic scale of objective evil, it's pretty low | 12:11 |
| awilkins | Did you see the news story about the Karate Black Belt Teen Exorcists today? | 12:11 |
| mungbean | i was telling my wife, if more people were like me, most shops would cease trading overnight | 12:12 |
| awilkins | Video of them doing their Ukranian tour. Guess being poor makes you more vulnerable to memetic diseases | 12:12 |

| * bigcalm tickles a rackspace cloud server | 12:37 | |
| bigcalm | Wonder if they are having routing problems today | 12:37 |
| SuperMatt | oh, did you just notice something? | 12:38 |
| SuperMatt | I got a couple of timeouts on a couple of services I run on there | 12:38 |
| bigcalm | SuperMatt: getting huge packet loss within their network | 12:39 |
| SuperMatt | aha! | 12:42 |
| SuperMatt | oh, I'm seeing 0 packet loss from one location, but quite a bit from another | 12:43 |
| SuperMatt | my mtr shows me this rackspace-gw.ip4.tinet.net is where it starts losing packets | 12:44 |
| ali1234 | can ssh tunnel dbus? | 12:45 |
| ali1234 | like ssh -X, but for dbus? | 12:45 |
| mungbean | sounds like hackery | 12:47 |
| ali1234 | i would like to be able to run notify-send on the remote machine and see the notification on the local machine | 12:47 |
| mungbean | https://github.com/guyzmo/notossh | 12:48 |
| mungbean | for irssi? | 12:48 |
| ali1234 | no, i don't use that | 12:48 |
| ali1234 | just for notifying me when some long job finishes on a server | 12:48 |
| mungbean | probably apply the same method to that though | 12:49 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 12:49 |
| SuperMatt | bigcalm: it looks like there's still packet loss in rackspace, but it's not so high that my nagios is complaining any more | 12:57 |
| SuperMatt | could be that whatever the issue is, is getting sorted | 12:57 |
| bigcalm | Good to know | 12:57 |
| SuperMatt | it's still hovering around the 23% mark though, which is less than ideal | 12:59 |
| bigcalm | Sluggish terminals are a load of fun | 12:59 |
| SuperMatt | no they're not | 12:59 |
| SuperMatt | although ssh is a great protocol | 13:00 |
| SuperMatt | it's useful that it can survive quite a lot of packet loss | 13:00 |
| SuperMatt | at least it gives you a *chance* to fix something remotely | 13:00 |
| mungbean | my sun servers are shagged :( | 13:04 |
| mungbean | even ILOM is misbehaving | 13:04 |
| SuperMatt | ILOM? | 13:04 |
| mungbean | like DRAC | 13:04 |
| * SuperMatt stares blankly at mungbean | 13:05 | |

| mungbean | why do people have audible email notifications in office environment? | 14:08 |
| jpds | mungbean: Because they don't have libnotify. | 14:10 |
| mungbean | :( | 14:11 |
| mungbean | constant ding dong swoosh and etc | 14:11 |
| dwatkins | I have a colleauge who has his IM "bing" on all the time, so every time I message him, I get a bing | 14:11 |
| dwatkins | ...and then there's the humming | 14:11 |
| mgdm | send him messages timed so it spells 'eejit' in morse, or some such | 14:11 |
| brobostigon | mine phone has a cookoo noise for incoming emails in k9, very amusing. | 14:11 |
| brobostigon | my* | 14:11 |
| dwatkins | mgdm: sadly I think the joke would be lost on him | 14:11 |
| dwatkins | he doesn't even realise when he's humming | 14:12 |
| mgdm | brobostigon: surely a woof would make more sense for K9? :P | 14:12 |
| mgdm | this is why I have big headphones | 14:12 |

| ali1234 | did anyone see that news story the other day about "drunk, unemployed" wasps | 16:22 |
| SuperEngineer | bzzzzzzzzzz | 16:24 |
| ali1234 | it was on the front page of the telegraph of course | 16:24 |
| SuperEngineer | funkyHat: actually, yes - they do [surprisingly] | 16:25 |
| SuperEngineer | or as one wasp said to the other... Do humans actually contribute usefully to any ecosystem? | 16:26 |
| funkyHat | SuperEngineer: what is it? Wikipedia has a deceptively titled "Role in ecosystem" section which doesn't really explain much at all | 16:27 |
| funkyHat | SuperEngineer: we make pandas have babies when they don't want to so they won't become extinct... surely that counts for something? | 16:27 |
| funkyHat | Oh! If we didn't have fig wasps then we wouldn't have figs. I've never tried a fig, but fig wasps sound ok. | 16:28 |
| SuperEngineer | funkyHat: they eat debris, waste, bugs & harmful insects [& humans at pubs] | 16:28 |

| AlanBell | minecraft question, do mods such as the lion king mod work on Ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| diddledan | AlanBell: afaik yes | 18:34 |
| ali1234 | lion king mod? | 18:39 |
| AlanBell | apparently that is what all the cool kids are playing | 18:42 |
| ali1234 | the mods are all patched java classes | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | so they all can work potentially | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | some of them have weird patching methods, but if oyu know what you're doing you can bypass that | 18:49 |
| ali1234 | that mod looks pretty cool | 18:50 |

| MartijnVdS | Argh @ car stereos | 18:56 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: problem? | 18:59 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: Had to use extreme force to get the old one out (the "keys" didn't do their job -- could only get the radio out 1cm) | 19:00 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: and the new radio expects the red and yellow wires to be reversed (12V continuous vs 12V when ignition is on) | 19:01 |
| MartijnVdS | so I have to find some kind of converter block or something | 19:01 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: so pull the pins out of the current plug and then swap them around ;) | 19:02 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: yes.. pull them out of the plug. How? :) | 19:02 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: have I got to tell you everything sheesh ;) | 19:03 |
| MartijnVdS | the lead for my old radio had a plastic sleeve + connector in the middle | 19:03 |
| MartijnVdS | to rearrange the 12V lines | 19:04 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: :( sound like you are outta luck unless you cut the cable and solder it I guess | 19:06 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: I'm going to check Halfords tomorrow, see if they have some kind of convertor/extension lead I can (ab)use | 19:08 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: you in the UK then dude? | 19:08 |
| MartijnVdS | davmor2: no, but we have Halfords in .nl :) | 19:09 |
