Today I find action points I must've assigned to myself that I don't remember seeing ever in my life) [05:10] desperate times, these Tuesday mornings [05:17] ouch [06:32] hi [07:01] morning all [07:06] gute morgen [07:06] have to go to the office today [07:07] I mucho prefero working at home-o [07:08] diddledan: yeah don't we all :) [07:08] :-) [07:08] I'd actually prefer to work in an office [07:09] too bad the office is in a really inconvenient place from all my life's angles [07:09] yeah it's difficult at home, especially when I don't have an office just a kitchen table lol [07:22] * neuro hugs his office [07:36] Ugh, shedload of twitter spam [07:39] If anybody see's Gord around, looks like his twitter account has been hijacked === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk === alan_g|EOD is now known as alan_g [08:17] morning everyone [08:17] morning all [08:20] yo [08:21] Yoyoyo :) [08:21] popey: i'll be interviewing the Belgian Whoovians this weekend at a cosplay event [08:21] looking forward to petting their K9 :) [08:24] heh [08:26] I was taking a look at the Asus Nexus7(version 2) in the shop last week [08:27] perhaps looking at getting one, but i was wondering , if I want to run Ubuntu on it .. is that gonna be ubuntu TOUCH or full ubuntu ? [08:27] Or is "full ubuntu" no longer supported ? [08:28] knightwise: Not tried ubuntu on mine, but I can fully recommend the N7(2) [08:28] You can't dual boot as I understand it (at the moment anyway) [08:29] knightwise: yes, touch [08:29] although the nexus 7 isn't top of the pile for support [08:29] we mainly target the phones right now [08:30] * popey updates his n7 [08:30] 179MB update \o/ [08:31] After having one since they 2013 model came out, just bought my wife a one at the weekend, she loves it already [08:32] Only trouble is, it gives her an excuse not to get out of bed when she's off work, she lies there watching tv/sky etc on it for hours, poor dog is left sitting there with his legs crossed [08:42] heh [08:44] Set a Google calendar item for "take dog for walk" and there's no excuse not to notice it... [08:44] Good thinking [08:47] popey: is it worth trying the N7 out yet to run Ubuntu ? [08:47] Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Touch? [08:50] Ubuntu touch. [08:54] knightwise: sure, if you want to test and file bugs ☻ [08:56] and how about the 'full ubuntu' version ? Does it support the basics ? like keyboard, wifi, sound , [08:58] by "full ubuntu" do you mean "ubuntu desktop"? [08:58] good morning everyone.

[10:09] or what ever the minimum was? [10:09] everyone got that much [10:10] yeah I heard that if you went with the min everyone got it, but the higher you went, the more likely it was you'd get declined [10:10] nope [10:10] you got nothing if you asked for more than 10k [10:10] otherwise 750 [10:10] ok fair enough :) [10:12] Is there a way to direct Google Maps to use different transport for different route nodes? [10:30] Hi folks [10:33] This Thursday is the end of the world economy, the start of the zombie apocalypse and the release of Ubuntu 13.10 http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/2555-saucy-salamander-release-party/ [10:35] so stock up on tinned food, bottled water and shotgun cartridges, then go to London and celebrate the release while all the city types drown their sorrows as the USA defaults on their debt [10:35] Release parties normally leave me in a state that's not ideal for dealing with the beginning of the zombie apocalypse [10:35] could the latter be rearranged? [10:36] well I think it might take a few days for it to spread from patient zero in Washington over to London [10:36] Oh good [10:39] ooo party === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk [10:42] just to get this straight [10:42] your zombie survival plan involves heading to the heart of zombie banker land, with millions of people?

[12:31] desk mount for 40 inch monitor though? [12:31] i just need a mount that isn't a wall mount. ceiling mount is prob offlimits too [12:36] what did you guys choose re: the giffgaff outage? [12:38] WOW the casio dropped to £5.73 today. was about to buy at £7.61 yesterday [12:39] mungbean_: F-91W? [12:39] yes [12:39] \o/ [12:39] my strap broke [12:39] oh bugger. no free delivery === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away [12:42] Postage & Packing:£6.01 [12:44] I've got http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007UNAV6I/ [12:44] which is all good apart from not having 24h time [12:44] but obviously it's a woman's watch [12:45] so i can buy 2 watches for cheaper than 1 watch === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:06] My watch is held together with duct tape [13:06] and now you've got me trying to find a new one [13:06] it is Ada Lovelace day today [13:07] just bought a strap instead for 4£ inc P&P [13:10] AlanBell, shh. you are not the official channel "X day" announcer. [13:10] haha [13:10] It was officially announced earlier [13:12] this is true === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk [13:19] JamesTait: what day is it today ;) [13:49] MooDoo, why, it's Ada Lovelace Day, of course! [13:50] I still don't think she loved lace, But from what I hear is an awesome role model [13:55] her name wasn't actually ada lovelace [13:56] Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace [14:02] Would it be crazy to try and run a vbox vm via an nfs share? [14:02] bigcalm: no don't think so, i've done it with vmware in the past, vm on the server vdk on a nas [14:03] MooDoo: ta. Saves me trying to find a spare power socket for an external hdd [14:03] Oh, hang on. I have an interface that works from 2 usb ports. That might do for now [14:11] * bigcalm ponders what fs to put on this external drive [14:13] Well poop [14:13] Erasing Device -- 6 hours and 2 minutes remaining [14:14] bigcalm: just dd the file table ;) [14:14] I've opted to not overwrite the data. Table alterations are much quicker [14:18] davmor2: how much space would one give an vm for throwaway testing? [14:20] bigcalm: depends on the testing! I tend to use the vbox defaults if I'm not doing anything serious with the vm or 60GB if I'm doing work stuff with it [14:21] I shudder to think that 8gb isn't enough for small scale testing. Will go with the defaults then, ta [14:21] I have a 500gb drive that is currently empty, but no need to waste space [14:23] Totally OT but rather a nice & smiley story: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/15/jon-bon-jovi-walks-fan-down-aisle-wedding [14:23] bigcalm: again it just depended on what you were doing, being the dev that you are if you were planing on building Software for example that might need more space than if you were just testing if you could get your setup the way tou like it :) [14:24] davmor2: testing deployments of websites. So finding out which additional packages one will need when setting-up from a fresh 12.04.3 image [14:25] davmor2: the sites themselves aren't big, just hope the OS and packages aren't either :) [14:26] no 8Gb should be find for that, if you were building debs on it you might need more space depending on the size of the app folder you start with [14:26] When is 13.10 officially out? [14:26] 8gb is fine for most things [14:26] not building LO though [14:27] anyone use x2go? its a bit like nxserver [14:27] bashrc: Thursday [14:27] cool [14:27] I havn't tried the beta. Is Mir usable? [14:28] (expects breakage) [14:28] bashrc: mir isn't default except on the phone/tablet [14:28] ah [14:29] directhex: or firefox, or chromium, or linux + modules, or .............. [14:29] quite a lot of things really [14:30] bashrc: xmir is installable but it was deemed not ready enough for multimontitor and bypass to use by default [14:31] is it possible to apt-get install the touch UI + Mir on x86 yet? [14:32] Is it mir which will handle features like multitouch? [14:32] ali1234: you can have shell on by just install unity8 but it isn't a desktop it's just windowed effectively [14:33] "shell"? [14:33] does that mean i get the same as i would get on a phone, except in a window, without emulation? [14:34] ali1234: yeap [14:34] cool [14:35] so would that be Mir on Xorg on XMir on Mir then? [14:35] ali1234: but as I say not as a desktop just a window on your desktop. you can then fullscreen it and use it as a tablet style desktop :) [14:35] sure, that's close enough for me [14:36] ali1234: only issue is because it is effectively touch you can have fun trying to use the edge gestures [14:36] i have a tablet PC and i'm sure it would be much easier to test on that [14:36] yeah the edge gestures are a pain [14:36] they are hard to use on a phone with a bezel too [15:10] * popey returns [15:10] oh noes, the RM shares are higher than I sold them for [15:10] should probably just stop watching it now :P [15:12] RM?

[15:41] Animal rights campaigners claim death of unborn panda cub is a 'relief' - how idiotic [15:46] ™ /49 [15:46] bah [16:24] popey: Humbug [16:28] if you type "pease" into firefox, "please" isn't in the autocorrect [16:28] it's a valid word, though [16:30] it is? [16:31] peace is a valid word. pease is debatable [16:32] it's in the OED, what's to debate? [16:32] Pease is valid, I don't think pease is [16:32] oh, is it? /me stands corrected [16:32] really? [16:32] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_pudding [16:32] yeah, but that's the phrase, is "pease" on its own still a word? [16:32] mine has 'pease' as plural noun archiac, 'peas' [16:33] BigRedS: yes, of course it is [16:33] shauno, archaic means no longer valid :-p [16:33] of course it is? [16:33] no, it means 'deprecated', I suppose [16:33] well, firstly my firefox is stuck with the US dictionary and i don't know how to fix it [16:33] i've fixed it several times but it always goes back [16:33] BigRedS: it's a word, it's spelled correctly, the fact the rest of the phrase isn't there is irrelevant to a spell checker [16:34] ali1234, you need to tell ubuntu you want british [16:34] my pidgin also underlines it red [16:35] in firefox "pease" suggests "please" but "Pease" does not [16:35] anywho, I'm going home [16:35] in pidgin they both suggest please [16:36] mgdm: i don't believe it is really a word btw [16:36] not in modern english [16:36] * mgdm shrugs [16:37] how can you make pease pudding without pease? [16:50] pease pudding hot [16:52] pease pudding cold [16:52] Have they demolished this place? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_Pottage [16:52] It should be in the UK spelling checker for that alone. [17:06] Pease pudding in the pot [17:08] nine days old; [17:08] Good, now I can stop thinking about that === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD === GentileBen is now known as SirCrispinTheJew [17:52] and we're back in the room [18:15] I seem to have SD cards absolutely everywhere .. until I have a task for the pi. then they appear to disappear :/ [18:16] shauno: check your cameras :) [18:16] they're still on CF :/ [18:16] hmm [18:16] I know I have one in my car [18:16] can I borrow it for the evening? ;) [18:17] shauno: If you come get it 8-) [18:17] will be an interesting windy ferry trip.

[19:00] I did ours today and it had a tickbox for opt out [19:01] yes, and once you tick the box it should be persistent [19:26] damn you humble bundle [19:33] just cursed the same thing in two different places [19:33] I don't care about the other stuff, but TTR!
