| MooDoo | morning all | 07:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Myrtti | I'm reminded why I dislike most tea brands | 07:25 |
| Myrtti | meh | 07:26 |
| Myrtti | morning | 07:26 |
| MooDoo | lol morning Myrtti twinnings? Surely you can't dislike that | 07:30 |
| Myrtti | well I ran out of milk last night and I don't really have time to go shopping until evening | 07:32 |
| Myrtti | so I made a pot of lipton forest fruit tea | 07:32 |
| Myrtti | which is fine, until it's steeped more than 15 minutes, which happens to me quite often | 07:32 |
| Myrtti | at that point it has a metallic aftertaste, like *all* Lipton has, that makes me wonder did it dilute my fillings | 07:33 |
| Myrtti | or erode them | 07:33 |
| MooDoo | yuck | 07:33 |
| SuperMatt | morning | 07:33 |
| popey | I set kitchen timer to 3 mins to steep my tea | 07:33 |
| popey | means I rarely leave it sat for too long | 07:34 |
| Myrtti | this is why I'm willing to pay 10 pounds for 80 bags of Yorkshire | 07:34 |
| Myrtti | popey: what can I say, I like it strong. Yorkshire and other nice teas don't mind if I steep it long. Lipton isn't nice. | 07:34 |
| popey | oh | 07:35 |
| Myrtti | if only I had milk. | 07:35 |
| popey | i thought you meant you forgot it | 07:35 |
| Myrtti | I'm not sure forgetting it is the right way of describing it | 07:36 |
| Myrtti | I neglect to take it out. | 07:36 |
| Myrtti | :-D | 07:36 |
| popey | ah | 07:36 |
| Myrtti | as a happy accident I usually get nice full four cup pot of tea | 07:36 |
| ali1234 | who else drinks "warm up"? | 07:50 |
| popey | ali1234: wat? | 08:03 |
| * dwatkins feels decidedly unbritish due to starting the day with coffee | 08:15 | |
| Myrtti | dwatkins: yeah, imagine that, I beat you. | 08:23 |
| * dwatkins bows graciously in Myrtti's general direction | 08:24 | |
| ali1234 | popey: it's when you make 1 teabag last all day: for the first cup you put 1.5 cups worth of water in the teapot, then you leave the teabag stewing in the remaining water until you make the next cup | 08:27 |
| ali1234 | for each subsequent cup you put another cup worth of boiling water in the pot, which "warms up" and dilutes the stewed tea from last time | 08:28 |
| ali1234 | you repeat this until you stop getting tea and start getting hot water | 08:28 |
| popey | heh, never done that | 08:29 |
| directhex | <insert potentially racist stereotype about group considered tight with money here> | 08:29 |
| ali1234 | it is more about being too lazy to clean out the teapot really | 08:30 |
| popey | oh, Scotts? | 08:30 |
| directhex | popey, filling in the blank says more about you than me :p | 08:31 |
| popey | ☻ | 08:31 |
| diplo | Morning all | 08:33 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Bald And Free Day! :-D | 08:33 |
| directhex | JamesTait, do you have a script to do this? | 08:34 |
| JamesTait | directhex, I don't. If I scripted it, *I* wouldn't know what day it was, and then I'd be all confused when people started asking me about it. | 08:34 |
| JamesTait | directhex, no, I really am that sad. | 08:35 |
| nigelb | lol | 08:35 |
| MooDoo | JamesTait: I'm free......hmmm spent to much of my childhood watching that show lol | 08:39 |
| JamesTait | Are you being served? :) | 08:39 |
| MooDoo | lol | 08:42 |
| * dwatkins redresses the balance with tea | 08:43 | |
| MooDoo | well I watched the intership last night, not brilliant, but it made me smile :) | 09:24 |
| MooDoo | nice to see sergey brin with a cameo :) | 09:25 |

| popey | etc | 10:50 |
| * dwatkins hands popey an apostrophe | 10:52 | |
| dwatkins | that reminds me, I need to find out what the video was my sister-in-law was watching, so I can apply some science to it | 10:52 |
| davmor2 | popey: more worryingly, God made them in his image, so God is a Lizard, must be something to what Ike was babling about after all :D | 10:59 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: ike was right, we have lizards as leaders. | 11:00 |
| davmor2 | nice bit of ultravox on absolute 80's | 11:08 |
| mungbean_ | funny story about how i came across the vertebrae but can't really share on the internet | 11:08 |
| mungbean_ | supposed to be part of a plesiosaur | 11:09 |
| mungbean_ | AKA seal | 11:09 |

| popey | noodles, peas, corn, egg, chicken, bullion, tabasco, soy, worcester, salt & pepper | 12:06 |

| Myrtti | I hate you | 12:07 |
| popey | hah | 12:07 |
| jussi | hrm, I left the drinking youghurt out for about 8 hours... still drinkable ? | 12:09 |
| popey | does it smell off? | 12:09 |
| jussi | it smells normal. curiousity, what does off yoghurt smell like? :P | 12:09 |
| popey | piquant | 12:09 |
| ali1234 | woo someone clicked on an advert on my webpage last month and i got £1.09 for it | 12:19 |
| MooDoo | ali1234: awesome, I'm using making about 25p ;) | 12:19 |
| ali1234 | most months i get 3p | 12:20 |
| popey | is that the one on your file index thing? | 12:23 |
| ali1234 | there are adverts on my wordpress too | 12:24 |
| ali1234 | but i never write anything on it | 12:24 |
| popey | ah | 12:24 |
| popey | i made 7.84 last month | 12:24 |
| popey | never actually seen any payments from amazon | 12:24 |
| ali1234 | i need a thing that reposts G+ to wordpress | 12:25 |
| popey | made 48.84 since 2008 | 12:25 |
| popey | \o/ | 12:25 |
| MooDoo | I had a google cheque a few months back | 12:25 |
| popey | yeah, i had a few of them | 12:28 |
| popey | not much | 12:28 |
| dwatkins | ali1234: how about a wordpress plugin that posts to G+ when you publish? | 12:28 |
| popey | thats hard given G+ is read only | 12:28 |
| dwatkins | oh, I guess my friend who does this sort of thing just pastes a link, then | 12:29 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 12:29 |
| ali1234 | besides the problem is that G+ is much nicer to use than wordpress | 12:29 |
| Myrtti | it's hard to get things play right either way | 12:32 |
| Myrtti | I'm looking for a way to get at bare minimum some kind of clips from Google+ to Drupal and it's hard. | 12:32 |
| Myrtti | oh dear, I'm looking at the api examples so hard I'm getting a headache from squinting | 12:36 |

| mungbean_ | ah, apod.com still works for now | 13:53 |
| mungbean_ | script fixed/amended | 13:53 |
| mungbean_ | is anyone here forced to use exchange/o365? | 13:54 |
| mungbean_ | or outlook.com | 13:54 |
| neuro | i use office 365 home premium but not exchange | 13:54 |
| mungbean_ | just been migrated from a working email system to o365 | 13:54 |
| mungbean_ | the web client is rather deficient | 13:54 |
| mungbean_ | cannot see number of items in a folder | 13:55 |
| mungbean_ | cannot run filters retrospectively | 13:55 |
| neuro | unlucky | 13:55 |
| mungbean_ | activesync wants full permission to remotely wipe my personal phone - not likely | 13:56 |
| mungbean_ | rather slow | 13:57 |
| diddledan | mungbean_: ouch | 13:59 |
| diddledan | mungbean_: the activesync wiping I guess is because they presume you'll be using business provided windows phone phones rather than BYOD | 13:59 |
| mungbean_ | hence fail | 13:59 |
| mungbean_ | its a per company decision | 13:59 |
| mungbean_ | but 0.1% of the company have company phones | 14:00 |
| mungbean_ | maybe 0.01 | 14:00 |
| diddledan | "company" IT dept is wonky then :-p | 14:00 |
| diddledan | I suggest penning an email using your new o365 account to whoever is in charge and point out that they're wonky :-D | 14:01 |
| diddledan | then prepare a new cv listing your current job as previous experience | 14:02 |
| diddledan | because they're bound to take umbrige | 14:02 |
| mungbean_ | when you scroll the messages window, it goes white/blank. nice | 14:04 |
| mungbean_ | no way to scroll through messages to look for correct one | 14:05 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 14:05 |
| diddledan | adobe muse produces evil markup - don't let designers believe that if they build a version of a site in muse that it will be easy to migrate that into a cms! | 14:07 |
| shauno | we have exactly the same for byod - if it's enrolled, they have access to remote wipe | 14:08 |
| diddledan | shauno: suckage | 14:09 |
| diddledan | shauno: tell them you'll not be responding to email out-of-hours then :-p | 14:09 |
| mungbean_ | shauno: this is just activesync though | 14:10 |
| mungbean_ | and they have students connection | 14:10 |
| mungbean_ | connecting | 14:10 |
| mungbean_ | some of which have inadvertently wiped their devices - fasctory reset, no warning | 14:10 |
| Myrtti | I just realised I'm not sure the IT support have ordered the right size sim card for my phone, I hope they have | 14:11 |
| shauno | ours don't care what's going on there. even if all you're getting is the cert that lets you use the campus wifi instead of the guest wifi, you're enrolled | 14:12 |

| popey | ooh. power just blipped here | 14:57 |
| popey | first time I've seen that in years | 14:57 |
| popey | yay for batteries in laptops | 14:59 |
| popey | ssh just carried on when the power came back | 14:59 |
| popey | and again | 15:01 |
| * popey hopes his btrfs volume is okay ⍨ | 15:01 | |
| diddledan | I like that ssh can sometimes carry on when there's a momentary blip | 15:02 |
| diddledan | and irc does it too | 15:02 |
| popey | /dev/sdc on /srv type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime) | 15:02 |
| popey | \o/ | 15:02 |
| dwatkins | I tend to use autossh just in case the blip lasts a while. | 15:18 |
| dwatkins | It also handles changing network interfaces fairly well. | 15:18 |
| funkyHat | AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0 is very useful too, I use it to set up tunnels with @reboot cron jobs | 15:31 |
| mungbean_ | my son (3) got rather stressed when he couldn't turn his light on a couple of weeks ago when the kettle tripped the power early in the morning and didn't notice | 15:35 |
| mungbean_ | WHYS MY LIGHT NOT WORKING CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK | 15:35 |
| dwatkins | my nephew used to have a light-based alarm clock - he'd wake up really early, and was told he wasn't allowed to get out of bed until the light came on | 15:40 |
| dwatkins | (apart from to use the bathroom) | 15:40 |
| mungbean_ | my boy gets 3 marbles in his marble jar for every morning he stays in his room until the 2nd alarm (1 snooze) | 15:41 |
| mungbean_ | fill up the jar, get a prize | 15:42 |
| dwatkins | I see you're preparing him for a lifetime of MMORPGs, mungbean_ ;) | 15:42 |

| === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away | ||
| mungbean_ | who me? | 15:58 |
| mungbean_ | it's funny because the prize is usually something as trivial as watching wallace and gromit and the were rabbit. | 15:59 |
| dwatkins | marbles == XP, of course | 15:59 |
| mungbean_ | but we give him lots of treats like zoo visits and softplay all the time | 15:59 |
| mungbean_ | but when you make a target it seems to focus their behaviour better | 15:59 |
| mungbean_ | less tantrums. i was worried the neighbours on holiday would call teh police after hearing the tantrums | 16:00 |
