=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [07:25] Morning [07:27] allo [07:27] I just discovered http://www.datasheetarchive.com/ - I can see this is going to be extremely useful [07:31] *bookmark* [07:47] I never expected a promoted link on Twitter to actually be useful. [07:54] http://www.jmedved.com/usbamps/ want [08:19] Good morning peeps :) [08:21] Good morning all, happy Swap Ideas Day! :-D [08:26] good morning everyone. [08:30] Morning andy , how are you doing , im up in glasgow and can do the night train service for weekly based commuting , what kind of coding are you after ? [08:35] I wonder whether that was the wrong channel [08:36] in response to andylockran yesterday I think [08:37] Ah === MattJ100 is now known as Guest43538 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk === DJones is now known as Guest55040 [09:25] AlanBell: thanks for the card :) [09:26] * bigcalm tickles popey [09:28] * popey tickles bigcalm [09:32] http://www.tikkels.nl/smaken.html ? [09:57] Is this a social channel? [09:58] Fairly social :) [09:59] Most things get talked about/discussed as long as they're not too far away from reasonable discussion [10:00] and reasonable discussion includes talking about beer and curry, :) [10:00] we are a social channel for social people [10:01] Just don't mention the war [10:03] Have to say that IRC has been quiet this morning [10:03] we'll have no trouble here [10:06] twelvty! [10:25] one!!!!11111!!! [10:25] !!1eleventyone!!!1 [10:26] One-one was a horse. One-two was one too. One-one won one race. One-two won one too [10:27] I'd forgotten today was the #ubuntu-uk bingo game [11:00] Ooh, a new Computerphile video! [11:00] I don't know what that is, but I don't think I'm going to watch any video today that isn't the new Arcade Fire track [11:01] mgdm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sskbSvha9M [11:01] I think it's on for the 3rd time this morning [11:41] remember that floating wizard thig from teh dungeons and dragons cartoon? i just aciidentally made his hat out of blue tac without noticing [11:43] or was it another cartoon? some floating black wizard hat? [11:45] he-man [11:45] http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/He-Man-Masters-of-the-Universe-he-man-604198_393_616.jpg [11:46] orko [11:46] thats him \p/ [11:49] i don't believe this is a coincidence either http://www.ffcompendium.com/misc/9-orkoandvivi-o.jpg [11:51] hmm [11:57] anyone want a tizen dev phone? https://developer.tizen.org/support/development-unit-program/available-development-units [11:57] "These are not phones, and cannot connect to a GSM network." [11:58] So.. 3G only? :P [12:00] tizen on phones is a waste of your time. [12:00] Oh dear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-24028902 [12:01] any closer pics of the letterbox? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:01] i mean "letterbox" [12:03] unsurprising self-promotion from Geller [12:03] my nephew lives in Sonning. I should get him to take a better pic. [12:04] http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/local-news/post-box-prank-mystifies-villagers-5874497 [12:04] wikipedia says uri geller is a magician [12:05] so he's admitted he was a fraud in the 80s then? [12:05] " 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] so say the sun [12:06] he calls himself a mystifier [12:06] thats one way to distance yourself from fraud.."it was a cover up for spying" [12:06] uh...not really [12:07] ah he claims he was in psychic ops [12:07] it;s not fraud unless you claim to talk to the dead [12:07] psycho ops [12:07] 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. [12:08] in which case there's a law requiring you to only talk to the dead legitimately [12:08] The Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951 [12:09] he's made many fraudulent claims [12:09] nobody really believes it though [12:09] so who cares? [12:09] yeah, TV loved him in the 80s [12:09] ali1234, this country is filled with morons. "psychics" of all stripes are a multi-million pound industry [12:09] mungbean, his career was destroyed overnight by james randi, thankfully [12:10] not my problem if stupid people want to waste their money [12:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9w7jHYriFo [12:10] actually if the vast majority of the world didn't regularly flush all their money down the toilet civilization would probably collapse [12:10] I see mediums advertised in pubs around here all the time [12:10] It's sad, this area is a hotbed of evangelical Christianity and other mental diseases [12:11] ali1234, it's explicitly evil. see also south park 6x15, "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" [12:11] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdTqpscvaw4&feature=related also [12:11] perhaps, but on the galactic scale of objective evil, it's pretty low [12:11] Did you see the news story about the Karate Black Belt Teen Exorcists today? [12:12] i was telling my wife, if more people were like me, most shops would cease trading overnight [12:12] Video of them doing their Ukranian tour. Guess being poor makes you more vulnerable to memetic diseases [12:15] "It's to advertise the Mikron Theatre production of Don't Shoot the messenger at Sonning Lock. [12:16] popey: ^^ [12:16] there we go [12:17] bbc journo didn't do their homework [12:17] well [12:17] scroll down ☻ [12:17] "Not true we have asked The Mill. [12:17] they asked a dolly bird on reception [12:17] lets just pipe that forum here yes? ☻ [12:17] ʘ‿ಠ [12:21] http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/09/nsa-sabotage-dead-mans-switch [12:21] rsync.net weren't the first to do this [12:22] pepperfish.net was doing it back in 2003 [12:37] * bigcalm tickles a rackspace cloud server [12:37] Wonder if they are having routing problems today [12:38] oh, did you just notice something? [12:38] I got a couple of timeouts on a couple of services I run on there [12:39] SuperMatt: getting huge packet loss within their network [12:42] aha! [12:43] oh, I'm seeing 0 packet loss from one location, but quite a bit from another [12:44] my mtr shows me this rackspace-gw.ip4.tinet.net is where it starts losing packets [12:45] can ssh tunnel dbus? [12:45] like ssh -X, but for dbus? [12:47] sounds like hackery [12:47] i would like to be able to run notify-send on the remote machine and see the notification on the local machine [12:48] https://github.com/guyzmo/notossh [12:48] for irssi? [12:48] no, i don't use that [12:48] just for notifying me when some long job finishes on a server [12:49] probably apply the same method to that though [12:49] yeah [12:57] 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] could be that whatever the issue is, is getting sorted [12:57] Good to know [12:59] it's still hovering around the 23% mark though, which is less than ideal [12:59] Sluggish terminals are a load of fun [12:59] no they're not [13:00] although ssh is a great protocol [13:00] it's useful that it can survive quite a lot of packet loss [13:00] at least it gives you a *chance* to fix something remotely [13:04] my sun servers are shagged :( [13:04] even ILOM is misbehaving [13:04] ILOM? [13:04] like DRAC [13:05] * SuperMatt stares blankly at mungbean [13:05] * SuperMatt blinks [13:05] what servers do u use [13:05] we simply have a few vms scattered around the country [13:05] lights out management/out of band management interface [13:06] for accessing a serial console on the box === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:06] or performing power on/off indepently of server [13:07] I see [13:11] They've discovered a new species of rabbit: http://i.imgur.com/KX7XAxW.jpg [13:11] lovely [13:12] can look at that all day [14:08] why do people have audible email notifications in office environment? [14:10] mungbean: Because they don't have libnotify. [14:11] :( [14:11] constant ding dong swoosh and etc [14:11] 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] ...and then there's the humming [14:11] send him messages timed so it spells 'eejit' in morse, or some such [14:11] mine phone has a cookoo noise for incoming emails in k9, very amusing. [14:11] my* [14:11] mgdm: sadly I think the joke would be lost on him [14:12] he doesn't even realise when he's humming [14:12] brobostigon: surely a woof would make more sense for K9? :P [14:12] this is why I have big headphones [14:13] * mgdm sticks on that new Arcade Fire track *again* [14:13] mgdm: likewise, Sennheiser HD 210s make life bearable [14:13] mgdm: certainly, or a dr who k9 extract. [14:15] my alarm clock is R2D2 [14:15] dwatkins: I forget precisely what these are, but they're a Scottish company, and they're comfy enough... [14:15] mungbean: You could imitate the sounds so thta it completely confuses them. [14:16] I keep meaning to SSH into someone else's Mac here and abuse the 'say' command [14:16] nobody needs aural stimuli for emails [14:17] what if you're alt-tabbed into sommat else? [14:20] i've got one of these: http://www.nandahome.com/products/tocky/ === alan_g is now known as alan_g|tea [14:21] and i loaded the audio from this video in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo [14:22] that's horrific === DGJones is now known as DJones === alan_g|tea is now known as alan_g [15:15] wow http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhysdaviesphotography/4443501034/sizes/l/in/set-72157626849039396/ [15:16] great shot of beachy head [15:19] yeah, very nice [15:22] Ugh, Windows Live Mail is an appalling email client [15:24] DJones: I assume that's copied from an advert for Windows ;) [15:25] Nope, thats from 4 hours of having to use the pile of &%*$£^% [15:25] going to wildlife park tomorrow \o/ [15:27] Whom here is a nginx fan? [15:27] I'm a fan of it [15:28] Old nginx server had two fqdn on SSL on the same server and IP just fine [15:28] not used it for much complicated, though [15:28] New nginx server isn't playing ball [15:28] duplicate default server for 0.0.0.0:443 [15:29] Ignore me [15:30] I copied a available-sites config but didn't remove default_server from the 2nd conf [15:30] mgdm: ta for being ready [15:47] AlanBell: you about= [15:47] ? [15:50] might be :) [15:50] whassup jussi? [16:18] wasps suck [16:18] Do wasps actually contribute usefully to any ecosystem? [16:19] I don't think so, one landed on the back of my neck, I wasn't aware of what it was so put my hand up to get rid of it [16:19] stung my neck and my hand :( [16:22] did anyone see that news story the other day about "drunk, unemployed" wasps [16:24] bzzzzzzzzzz [16:24] it was on the front page of the telegraph of course [16:25] funkyHat: actually, yes - they do [surprisingly] [16:26] or as one wasp said to the other... Do humans actually contribute usefully to any ecosystem? [16:27] SuperEngineer: what is it? Wikipedia has a deceptively titled "Role in ecosystem" section which doesn't really explain much at all [16:27] SuperEngineer: we make pandas have babies when they don't want to so they won't become extinct... surely that counts for something? [16:28] 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] funkyHat: they eat debris, waste, bugs & harmful insects [& humans at pubs] [16:29] pandas keep the bamboo under control [16:30] ali1234: and make us all smile [16:30] not me [16:30] boo hiss [16:30] o_o [16:31] * SuperEngineer sends virtual wasp to ali1234 [16:42] ali1234 has a heart of stone === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away === Hornet- is now known as Hornet [18:32] minecraft question, do mods such as the lion king mod work on Ubuntu? [18:34] AlanBell: afaik yes [18:39] lion king mod? [18:42] apparently that is what all the cool kids are playing [18:48] the mods are all patched java classes [18:48] so they all can work potentially [18:49] some of them have weird patching methods, but if oyu know what you're doing you can bypass that [18:50] that mod looks pretty cool [18:50] AlanBell: you know you're a geek right and not allowed in the cool kids group? ;) [18:54] yeah, I don't do games [18:56] Argh @ car stereos [18:59] MartijnVdS: problem? [19:00] 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) [19:01] davmor2: and the new radio expects the red and yellow wires to be reversed (12V continuous vs 12V when ignition is on) [19:01] so I have to find some kind of converter block or something [19:02] MartijnVdS: so pull the pins out of the current plug and then swap them around ;) [19:02] davmor2: yes.. pull them out of the plug. How? :) [19:03] MartijnVdS: have I got to tell you everything sheesh ;) [19:03] the lead for my old radio had a plastic sleeve + connector in the middle [19:04] to rearrange the 12V lines [19:06] MartijnVdS: :( sound like you are outta luck unless you cut the cable and solder it I guess [19:08] davmor2: I'm going to check Halfords tomorrow, see if they have some kind of convertor/extension lead I can (ab)use [19:08] MartijnVdS: you in the UK then dude? [19:09] davmor2: no, but we have Halfords in .nl :) [19:24] MartijnVdS: in Halfords in .nl do they sell beam deflectors for driving in the UK? [19:25] AlanBell: they do [19:29] AlanBell: have you ever played CaH? [19:29] MartijnVdS: cool, I was wondering if they were even a think outside of the UK [19:30] popey: nope [19:59] Any League of Legends ppl? [20:00] nope [20:00] dota2 4 evah! [20:06] do we have any sound editors that aren't audacity?
