[07:19] morning all [07:25] I'm reminded why I dislike most tea brands [07:26] meh [07:26] morning [07:30] lol morning Myrtti twinnings? Surely you can't dislike that [07:32] well I ran out of milk last night and I don't really have time to go shopping until evening [07:32] so I made a pot of lipton forest fruit tea [07:32] which is fine, until it's steeped more than 15 minutes, which happens to me quite often [07:33] at that point it has a metallic aftertaste, like *all* Lipton has, that makes me wonder did it dilute my fillings [07:33] or erode them [07:33] yuck [07:33] morning [07:33] I set kitchen timer to 3 mins to steep my tea [07:34] means I rarely leave it sat for too long [07:34] this is why I'm willing to pay 10 pounds for 80 bags of Yorkshire [07:34] 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. [07:35] oh [07:35] if only I had milk. [07:35] i thought you meant you forgot it [07:36] I'm not sure forgetting it is the right way of describing it [07:36] I neglect to take it out. [07:36] :-D [07:36] ah [07:36] as a happy accident I usually get nice full four cup pot of tea [07:50] who else drinks "warm up"? [08:03] ali1234: wat? [08:15] * dwatkins feels decidedly unbritish due to starting the day with coffee [08:23] dwatkins: yeah, imagine that, I beat you. [08:24] * dwatkins bows graciously in Myrtti's general direction [08:27] 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 [08:28] 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] you repeat this until you stop getting tea and start getting hot water [08:29] heh, never done that [08:29] [08:30] it is more about being too lazy to clean out the teapot really [08:30] oh, Scotts? [08:31] popey, filling in the blank says more about you than me :p [08:31] ☻ [08:33] Morning all [08:33] Good morning all; happy Bald And Free Day! :-D [08:34] JamesTait, do you have a script to do this? [08:34] 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. [08:35] directhex, no, I really am that sad. [08:35] lol [08:39] JamesTait: I'm free......hmmm spent to much of my childhood watching that show lol [08:39] Are you being served? :) [08:42] lol [08:43] * dwatkins redresses the balance with tea [09:24] well I watched the intership last night, not brilliant, but it made me smile :) [09:25] nice to see sergey brin with a cameo :) [09:46] good morning everyone.

[10:50] Dinosaurs are Gods way of testing your faith! [10:50] etc [10:52] * dwatkins hands popey an apostrophe [10:52] 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 [10:59] 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 [11:00] davmor2: ike was right, we have lizards as leaders. [11:08] nice bit of ultravox on absolute 80's [11:08] funny story about how i came across the vertebrae but can't really share on the internet [11:09] supposed to be part of a plesiosaur [11:09] AKA seal [11:10] or thats what it looks like [11:14] also found a large imprint of ammonite http://i.imgur.com/Te3LgpA.jpg [11:14] randomly on the beach [12:05] Man!

[12:09] does it smell off? [12:09] it smells normal. curiousity, what does off yoghurt smell like? :P [12:09] piquant [12:19] woo someone clicked on an advert on my webpage last month and i got £1.09 for it [12:19] ali1234: awesome, I'm using making about 25p ;) [12:20] most months i get 3p [12:23] is that the one on your file index thing? [12:24] there are adverts on my wordpress too [12:24] but i never write anything on it [12:24] ah [12:24] i made 7.84 last month [12:24] never actually seen any payments from amazon [12:25] i need a thing that reposts G+ to wordpress [12:25] made 48.84 since 2008 [12:25] \o/ [12:25] I had a google cheque a few months back [12:28] yeah, i had a few of them [12:28] not much [12:28] ali1234: how about a wordpress plugin that posts to G+ when you publish? [12:28] thats hard given G+ is read only [12:29] oh, I guess my friend who does this sort of thing just pastes a link, then [12:29] yeah [12:29] besides the problem is that G+ is much nicer to use than wordpress [12:32] it's hard to get things play right either way [12:32] I'm looking for a way to get at bare minimum some kind of clips from Google+ to Drupal and it's hard. [12:36] oh dear, I'm looking at the api examples so hard I'm getting a headache from squinting === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:45] NASA apod site is down :( [13:45] due to some american political guff [13:46] nasa is 97% fired right now [13:52] s/fired/on unpaid leave/ [13:53] ah, apod.com still works for now [13:53] script fixed/amended [13:54] is anyone here forced to use exchange/o365? [13:54] or outlook.com [13:54] i use office 365 home premium but not exchange [13:54] just been migrated from a working email system to o365 [13:54] the web client is rather deficient [13:55] cannot see number of items in a folder [13:55] cannot run filters retrospectively [13:55] unlucky [13:56] activesync wants full permission to remotely wipe my personal phone - not likely [13:57] rather slow [13:59] mungbean_: ouch [13:59] mungbean_: the activesync wiping I guess is because they presume you'll be using business provided windows phone phones rather than BYOD [13:59] hence fail [13:59] its a per company decision [14:00] but 0.1% of the company have company phones [14:00] maybe 0.01 [14:00] "company" IT dept is wonky then :-p [14:01] I suggest penning an email using your new o365 account to whoever is in charge and point out that they're wonky :-D [14:02] then prepare a new cv listing your current job as previous experience [14:02] because they're bound to take umbrige [14:04] when you scroll the messages window, it goes white/blank. nice [14:05] no way to scroll through messages to look for correct one [14:05] \o/ [14:07] 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! [14:08] we have exactly the same for byod - if it's enrolled, they have access to remote wipe [14:09] shauno: suckage [14:09] shauno: tell them you'll not be responding to email out-of-hours then :-p [14:10] shauno: this is just activesync though [14:10] and they have students connection [14:10] connecting [14:10] some of which have inadvertently wiped their devices - fasctory reset, no warning [14:11] I just realised I'm not sure the IT support have ordered the right size sim card for my phone, I hope they have [14:12] 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 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [14:39] neuro: i delete/move emails with thudnerbird, but still see them on teh web ui?

[15:18] It also handles changing network interfaces fairly well. [15:31] AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0 is very useful too, I use it to set up tunnels with @reboot cron jobs [15:35] 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] WHYS MY LIGHT NOT WORKING CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK [15:40] 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] (apart from to use the bathroom) [15:41] my boy gets 3 marbles in his marble jar for every morning he stays in his room until the 2nd alarm (1 snooze) [15:42] fill up the jar, get a prize [15:42] I see you're preparing him for a lifetime of MMORPGs, mungbean_ ;) [15:53] * awilkins bets that he secretly takes a marble out when he's not looking === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away [15:58] who me? [15:59] it's funny because the prize is usually something as trivial as watching wallace and gromit and the were rabbit. [15:59] marbles == XP, of course [15:59] but we give him lots of treats like zoo visits and softplay all the time [15:59] but when you make a target it seems to focus their behaviour better [16:00] less tantrums. i was worried the neighbours on holiday would call teh police after hearing the tantrums [16:07] mungbean_: terrible two's or troublesome threes? :-p [16:07] or fearsome fours? === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [16:08] 3 [16:08] more like a teenager though [16:08] lol [16:08] my nephew is nearing that milestone in a couple months [16:10] I went up to my sister's yesterday to see her newborn - my cute-as neice! - my nephew at one point looked over at his nanna holding his sister and decided to bash his sister on the head - gotta love siblings === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:48] The thinkpads are generally pretty robust; does anyone know if tht goes for the Thinkpad Edge, too? === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [18:39] Good morning peeps :) [18:46] Goood Morning! [18:49] hmm, I need sleep [18:49] Don't worry, it's not really morning [18:49] morning indeed *mutters incoherently* [18:53] Considering I've been asleep for most of the day. It might as well be morning [18:53] diddledan: I think your find that morning is bright and breezy and does mutter incoherently at all [18:54] doesn't even [20:18] Evening [20:25] evening [20:26] this isn't crimewatch, its a prolonged interview with the parents [20:27] certainly ther's an agenda here [20:28] * daubers sighs at another evening wasted reading up on Project Management software [20:30] i see the ostrich pill ow has been updated [20:30] no longer cyberman, now michelin man [20:37] seen this? http://op-co.de/blog/posts/android_ssl_downgrade/ [20:49] mungbean_: that's pretty scary [20:52] how odd [21:26] top comment on reddit appeared to explain [21:26] but I don't know enough about the subject to say whether it actually did or not [21:26] http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1ofr05/why_android_ssl_was_downgraded_from_aes256sha_to/ [21:28] Anybody else here ordered a hudl?

[21:30] Yes [21:31] I've ordered one as a wedding gift - expected delivery by 25th October - my wedding date [21:32] oh, I thought they already existed and were in stock; I thought I saw them on the shelves in TEsco [21:32] I didn't see one the last time I was in a store so ordered online [21:32] I may regret this [21:33] Were they available in different colours in the shop? [21:33] I sent Hayley this and asked which she preferred. I don't think she knows what I'm up to. http://discworld.cuth.eu/dump/colours.png [21:34] * bigcalm wants his Xoom back for himself :D [21:38] I'm not sure what was available; I was dumfounded at a Tesco branded tablet that didn't look like it was probably awful :) [21:47] BigRedS: the fact that it has respectable specs and has the play store without messing about were good reasons to order one [21:50] * bigcalm sleeps [21:52] with only 3 hours uptime? hardware issues? === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [22:33] shauno: you played with sickbeard at all? [22:34] actually, I set that up just friday or so [22:34] :-) [22:34] I'm just setting it up now [22:34] just plugged defiance into it [22:35] network activity appears to be doing something, so I'm assumpting it's downloading [22:38] my local Channel Islands news has the South-West England (Cornwall, etc) regional news tacked on after it [22:38] today's had this nugget: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8qr9pqx3n46h84e/VID_20131014_210055.mp4 [22:40] what the?
