[01:26] there we go [01:26] * diddledan getting used to irssi [01:26] D: [01:27] where've you been sir? [01:27] I rebooted into somewhere that didn't have irc :-p [01:27] D: [01:27] so now I'm working on getting ssh-able irssi [01:28] now now, such places don't exist! [01:28] hehe [01:44] ssh host -t 'screen -dr' [01:44] sorted [01:49] wheee [01:49] ahem, I mean.. oh dammit, too much excitement for 2am in the morning o'clock [01:49] on a school night too :( [01:49] indeed [01:49] what's future diddledan going to say?! [01:50] probably find he'll be snoring [01:51] ja but future future diddledan will be hammering an alarm clock into the wall whispering obscenities [01:54] lol [02:17] so if anyone's around: what package do I file this bug against?: in saucy solliloquy (13.10) apache2 can't seem to tell the difference between a file and a folder when serving a site off an HFS+ filesystem. (http://paste.ubuntu.com/6451364/ you'll note it's looking for .htaccess files as children of images.) so the problem could be with the hfs+ kernel module or it could be with apache (at this juncture). a similar story is found here: http://sv [02:17] did any of that get cut off? (it finished with the word "behaviour") [02:18] yeah "...http://sv" [02:18] http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2010-05/0308.shtml which suggests that the problem may lie in shared code between svn and apache (namely the APR library). [02:18] or it really is the kernel module. I'm flummoxed and surprised very few references exist about similar behaviour [02:18] 02:17 < diddledan> did any of that get cut off? (it finished with the word "behaviour") [02:19] eww [02:19] that was evil, sorry me [02:20] I guess nobody uses HFS+ shared filesystems [02:21] which surprises me because it's the only one that can be shared between osx and linux without losing UNIXy things like symlinks [02:23] no [02:23] you lose the journal if you write to it from linux [02:23] ali1234: I'm prepared to sacrifice the journaling [02:23] and that kind of indicates the code quality isn't great [02:23] heh [02:24] so what would work better for shared filesystem between osx and linux which allows me to retain UNIX permissions and symlink capability? [02:24] nothing [02:24] bingo [02:24] hence why I'm doing it this way [02:24] just stop using osx [02:25] >.< [02:25] yeah. that [02:25] it's not like it has any software you can't run on windows [02:25] I need OSX about for iOS packaging [02:25] well there's that i suppose [02:26] stop using iOS also? [02:26] XD [02:26] alright Stallman, get off ali1234's computer and give it back to him [02:26] lol [02:26] i was just about to recommend a nice android phone [02:27] wow, andoird is pushing it beyond stallman's comfort zone [02:27] think of all those binary blobs [02:28] you can't have a phone without binary blobs. it is impossible [02:28] that won't stop stallman moaning about it [02:28] even if you made one totally from scratch, it would infringe thousands of patents [02:28] my Nexus 4 is really proving that android goes like Windows XP, which is what directhex said [02:29] it's only playing the sounds to notifications for one particular program intermittently now i swear [02:29] if by that you mean "it's really fast when you remove all the OEM shovelware" then i agree [02:29] once the 4.4 update comes out i may have to factory reset it [02:30] me? nah the Nexus 4 comes without any crap [02:30] exactly [02:30] I can't believe the galaxynexus has been abandoned in terms of software [02:30] it's only a year and a bit old [02:30] ali1234: more that performance degrades over time [02:30] (over 2 years) [02:31] it was discontinued over a year ago [07:06] morning all [07:41] \o [07:41] my laptop didn't run out of battery today \o/ [07:42] well last night [07:44] yay [07:54] time to boil some water [08:17] 02:30:07> I can't believe the galaxynexus has been abandoned in terms of software <- believe it. only apple supports users long enough to fulfil a 24 month contract === iahmad is now known as iahmad|afk [08:21] Morning [08:22] directhex: what does ms do with wp? [08:22] popey, wp7 owners were shafted by wp8 [08:22] I just slapped CM on my Galaxy Nexus (as Ubuntu Touch seemed to be a bit useless for me) and it's marvelous [08:23] This is really funny. Microsoft is suing a Patent Troll, who it licensed some patents to, who then sued it for patent infringement: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/11/microsoft-sues-patent-troll-saying-it-broke-contract-to-license-mobile-tech/ [08:23] i love CM :) [08:23] Only winners? Lawyers... [08:24] why haven't I heard of BountySource before? shocking [08:24] not all WP7 devices got 7.5, not all 7.5 devices got 7.8 [08:24] basically a disasterpiece [08:24] CM is a band-aid, and a mediocre one [08:25] e.g. wife's HTC Sensation with CM, the camera failed to record video, and screen flicker meant daily reboots [08:28] and are updates to windows phone delivered by ms like apple deliver ios updates? [08:28] or is it in collaboration with handset maker(s) [08:29] * popey considers an egg-based breakfast [08:30] I'm not sure should I venture to make tea [08:30] not 100% certain the milk is ok [08:42] if it doesnt have clumps, its fine :P :P [08:42] popey, handset makers, sadly === iahmad|afk is now known as iahmad [08:43] be interesting to see how jolla does [08:46] Oh yes! http://www.joe-ks.com/archives_jul2012/UltimateManwich.htm [08:47] http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/11226/sticky-belly-pork looks like lunch [08:48] And there's me on a 500cal day. [08:48] that does look good [08:48] 500cal? wow [08:49] MooDoo: For me it's actually rather easy. [08:49] just don't eat? [08:49] I don't really feel that hungry [08:49] MartijnVdS: Until tonight yes. [08:49] TheOpenSourcerer: I'm always hungry and need about 2K a day :S [08:49] I might have an apple at lunch or something perhaps. [08:50] TheOpenSourcerer: That much aluminium and silicon in your diet can't be good [08:50] It's supposed to be extremely good for you [08:50] ooh, i need to get that pork in now if it's going to be ready for lunch [08:52] i'm ravenous [08:52] directhex: are you from Traal?

[09:15] hah [09:15] Myrtti: heathen! :) [09:16] MartijnVdS: I know, I'm shocked by this feeling myself [09:16] We have some friends over for dinner tomorrow night. I will be making a goats cheese and seared lettuce tower on toast as a starter, followed by chicken en papillote, hassleback potatoes and bundles of green beans. [09:16] hasslebacks ♥ [09:16] oooh good call [09:17] my kids love hasslebacks, will do them at the weekend [09:20] Good morning peeps :) [09:21] i appear to be the only person in this house who eats the crusts [09:21] I'd happily buy a loaf of bread which was just crusts, no middle slices [09:21] I'd like to hold the bean bundles together not with bacon but with something vegetarian, was thinking about either wrapping in a strip of cavalo nero, or perhaps, making a "disk" of something with a hole through the middle to hold the beans together? Like a large tomato, or something similar... I don't think the tomato will hold up in the oven somehow... [09:22] something soaked/wilted and fashioned into a string? [09:22] Spinach? [09:23] spring onion? [09:23] http://apassionateplate.com/green-bean-bundles-with-bacon-balsamic-glaze/ [09:23] spinach would taste nicer [09:23] s/popey/popeye/ [09:23] That might work actually, I could imagine rolling a bunch of wilted spinach into a long thin string-like thing [09:25] spaghetti 8-) [09:25] Hmmm, that's not bad popey. Thanks. [09:25] TheOpenSourcerer: nori? [09:26] MartijnVdS: That kind of thing did cross my mind actually ;-) [09:26] Oooh - bigcalm That's a good bloody idea. [09:26] I've sheets of the stuff. [09:26] :) [09:26] Does it soften in water? [09:26] Yes [09:27] I think that might work really well. [09:27] Will do a quick test this evening... :-) [09:30] "Green beans, boiled, blanched & drained, bundled (wrap with either wilted spring onion or strips of nori), then finished in the oven for 10 mins with a garlic, herb & olive oil dressing" [09:30] Nom [09:32] does sound nom [09:33] You guys are making me hungry! [09:33] Morning all btw :) [09:41] i got a popping cando freddo this morning [09:42] and i have this tune stuck in my head [09:42] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nghTrcPBp3s [09:42] * DJones thinks he won't click on the link so he doesn't get a tune stuck in his head [09:44] dooo ittt [09:45] Good morning all; happy Use Less Stuff Day! :-D [09:45] | less [09:46] No, no.

"Ah!", I thought to myself, "I know what I could connect that to!" [10:05] And so I ended up spending the evening playing with the Raspberry Pi and a bunch of LEDs connected to the GPIO connector. [10:06] I hope this is going somewhere JamesTait. [10:06] Otherwise I'll have to destroy you. [10:06] JamesTait: funky :) [10:07] And it reminded me of the indiegogo campaign, and that I really ought to chip in. [10:10] RPi is a slippery slope. [10:10] I ended up wanting one of those Haswell NUC boxes. [10:11] They're like the size of a cigarette box but fully featured x86 PCs. [10:11] Allow me to direct you: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-raspberry-pi-build-cluster-for-ubuntu [10:12] JamesTait: ^--^ [10:14] popey: bigcalm This is the kind of effect I'm after but with green beans. Think Nori will work really well. Thanks.

[10:53] yeah [10:53] I've not had problems with 3 with chrome, is this some new development [10:53] the last few weeks I think [10:53] used to work for me no problem [10:53] the login box is a little iframe and after mashing on the login button you get a greyed iframe with the unhappy chrome guy inside [10:54] "connection was reset", which is nice [10:54] haven't tried in firefox yet (not that i've launched firefox in months), or chromium, so might be a mac thing?

[13:08] it's mostly about the location sharing [13:08] that made the biggest difference for me [13:08] 4heh, apparently my browser is unsupported, mungbean. [13:09] What about location sharing? [13:11] hahaha [13:11] that game is fun [13:11] Google Now is on by default and it polls where you are with GPS/Wifi/mobile - and it's on high accuracy too. If you go to the battery graph and Google Play Services are the biggest drain, click on it and go to "Adjust power use" and change the location settings [13:31] Myrtti: hows the job going? [13:31] trying to find something like mahara but not mahara at the moment [13:32] also trying to think about Scrum tools [13:32] like trello? [13:33] and how to get students to do open source contributions instead of coding the never ending bookstore / magazine subscription / video rental examples [13:33] popey: more like Jira or Redmine, but yes, Trello is on the list [13:33] i found an open source implementation of trello-like kanban [13:33] Redmine seems to get the coders twitch their faces a bit so I think that option is dead-ish [13:34] popey: oh, do share [13:36] https://github.com/malclocke/fulcrum [13:36] We used Redmine - It's OK for our needs (apart from Ruby)...

[13:51] hadn't noticed that [13:51] yeah well we need atleast google apps for domains support, and preferably github/travis integration, planning poker etc. [13:51] I keep debating tinkering with Ruby, but I just really can't get to want to [13:54] Seem to me that Ruby just adds a whole new meaning to "dependency hell". [13:56] that's the sense I got from directhex and someone else in here, I did setup a redmine install and it was fairly painless but ... [13:57] Use Go!

[15:45] Heh [15:49] i saw matrix 2 on my first date with wifey [15:53] was matrix 2 any good? I htink I only ever saw 1 [15:54] Matrix 1 was one of the first DVDs I owned, before it was out in the Cinema here [15:55] bashrc: no need to spoil the 1st film with 2 and 3. Though the Animatrix is good :) [15:55] had a Creative DVD player in my Dan P200 PC at the time [15:56] I agree, Matrix was the first title I ever stuck in my DVD ROM drive / Home DVD player [15:56] I think I had a Panasonic DVD ROM [15:56] jeeebus, Dan computers! [15:56] that's a blast from the past. [15:56] ☻ [15:56] Finding out that Tron was on DVD caused me to buy a DVD player [15:57] a mashup of 2 and 3 might be ok [15:57] but i felt it was too overly complex and twisty turny and the fight scenes with the bad guy who plays elrond in LOTR were stupid and too long [15:57] no, the matrix sequels were not good. a bit like the star wars prequels. [15:58] i thought the big battle at the end of 3 was the best part. it's what the dragonball z movie should have been like. [15:59] the fight scene will 100 elronds was made just for the computer game i felt [15:59] lol [15:59] i mean the 1 on 1 epic battle at the end [15:59] 100 elronds ☻ [16:00] my first pc was an Escom P75 :< [16:00] i can see how you could find that boring though - dbz is famous for long drawn out fights [16:00] my first pc was an Epson PC 8086 [16:00] http://www.theendisnigel.com/john/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/smiths.jpg [16:01] i hated that scene was so bored [16:01] ooh [16:03] mungbean: have you seen the final fantasy 7 movie? [16:03] you would probably hate that [16:04] ali1234: i only got a few hours into ff game which i realised was not even a game but a series of cut scenes [16:05] well, you have to think of those games as movies with a bit of interaction to break up the story [16:05] rather than a game that gets interrupted with cut scenes [16:06] yeah, not my thing, although i tried to like it [16:08] my fave games are elite(and oolite), exile, sensible soccer, ssx, GTA3 and vrally. sure i'm forgetting something important there.
