[00:09] wtf, arrived home to find this in my mailbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jyxhml2mopblpvv/2013-12-02%2000.06.14.jpg [00:09] suddenly, random blue cloth things. [00:11] micro-fibre? [00:11] Azelphur: looks like a micro fibre cloth [00:11] yea [00:11] I never ordered a micro fibre cloth though xD [00:11] looks a tad ridged to be, actually [00:12] only thing even semi-related is that I ordered some t-shirts recently, *shrug* [00:12] but they all already arrived [00:12] druken ebay? any emails that mention micro fibre? [00:13] don't drink, and no emails xD [00:13] seems to have a return address, Apt 10 Galileo 40 Ryland Street, Birmingham, UK, B16 8BS [00:13] I wonder if that's a company or something [00:14] North ocean trading ltd apparently o.O [00:15] hmm the plot thickens [00:15] indeed [00:16] Azelphur: ebay seller by the looks [00:16] link? [00:16] 'happy-elife' [00:16] I wonder if I have managed to securely erase my hard-drive. will try restore tomorrow. [00:17] daftykins: nope, never ordered from this dude xD [00:17] http://www.ebay.es/itm/50s-Unisex-Vintage-Steampunk-Hand-Made-Leather-Wrap-Retro-Goggles-Sunglasses8810-/321171079040 [00:17] get your steampunk glasses nao [00:17] haha [00:17] and clean them with a handy blue cloth! [00:18] I wonder if one of my friends recently ordered one, and had it shipped to the wrong address [00:19] hm, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221224816093 ? [00:19] yea I noticed that [00:19] xD [00:19] that's quite random, to be honest [00:19] very random [00:20] usually when it happens to me, it's because I ordered something off dealextreme, and it took so long to show up I forgot it existed [00:20] which is fun. I like surprises [00:20] :D [00:20] lol [00:20] i hope you get this ref [00:20] yea, I've had dx take like 2 months to deliver [00:20] if you were in, i'd have totally gone... Well hello, Mr. UPS man. [00:21] reminds me, I'm still waiting for a cable to show up from china. it's been almost 3 months now. but I didn't bother shooting for a refund because it's <$3 [00:21] hehe [00:21] but I might send him another email just to annoy him [00:22] :D [00:22] just don't Wing the Wong # [00:25] I do like getting stuff from china, they seem to have everything. but it does make projects go sooo slow [00:25] yeah :( [00:26] i've also had stuff next day from there - wonder why it's so variable [00:27] hah, 3 months isn't bad memory; we ship the parcel to you on Sep-02-2013 by regular post,it will take 26-45 days arrive Ireland usually. [00:29] hm === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:29] Azelphur what have you done! i'm going coin crazy :D [00:29] arsen: haha [00:30] XD [00:31] arsen: how goes the mine? [00:31] i've managed to fabricate a ~3 primecoins a day from some random kit, but i'm looking at investing into a LTC mining lump, couple of GPUs running for a few months [00:32] seems much more profitable. [00:34] and so the addiction begins [00:34] arsen: call me when you have a 3 foot beard and you're out on the street :D [00:35] its interesting, technically you can pay for some GPUs inside of a month, but the interest in LTC could be its downfall for non-billionaire rig buyers [00:46] hey. anyone here who has set up minidlna? [00:48] daftykins - take a peak at LTC hardware comparisons, i think you'd be interested to play around :P [00:49] i dunno i'm paying £50/month on electric for just me in this place already :D [00:55] but think how much you'll save on your heating bill?! [00:56] yeah, gas goes down [00:56] :D [00:56] someone should make an electric kettle that uses a miner as the heating element [00:57] seems like with the top end cards, they pay their way in eleccy quite easily [01:24] :) [01:24] since it first appeared i shrugged it off since i didn't understand it and never looked into it really [01:25] sort of goes down besides "buying Apple shares" as the thing i would've liked to have done had i known, but of course i didn't [01:25] :> [01:41] it's a weird one because it constantly seems crazy. like if you'd bought in a month ago, you would have doubled your money. but at the time, buying at $3-$500 seemed insane [01:41] You're all up terribly late before a work day. [01:42] <-- has annual leave [01:42] Go to bed, all of you. [01:42] I have to be up at 5am. it hardly seems worth it now [01:42] The same bed if necessary. I'll make the cocoa. [01:42] Why 5am, shauno? [01:42] I start at 6, and assuming I actually sleep, 5am would be my target for shower & transport [01:43] What do you do? [01:44] wait for the screen to beep, and then phone someone up and tell them what beeped [01:45] Ah, you're a prison rodeo clown. [01:45] that actually sounds a lot more interesting, so I'll go with that [01:51] and here's shauno at work http://cdn10.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/girlybubble/blog/2010/11/dog-in-a-shirt-and-tie-and-glasses-630x472.jpg [01:55] sorry i just saw it in another channel and it seemed apt :< [01:55] shauno: although you strike me as a retriever [01:56] that's almost as bad as the actual pictures ;) http://f.cl.ly/items/3W1N26360N3m1a2e3t1f/IMG_1455.JPG [01:57] that ratio of tongue to monkey seems off [01:58] yeah. it has a very funky face [01:58] :> [01:58] is that bear still in your place? [01:59] yup [02:00] although it's now wearing jeans, which is a tad more respectable [02:00] have you ever been tempted to put it in a window to freak out passers-by? [02:00] at night with a light behind [02:00] hahaha [02:00] it solved the "I don't fit these anymore, why do I keep washing them and then trying to put them on" loop [02:01] I think if carrying it home didn't freak people out, sticking it in a window won't go far [02:01] XD [02:28] hm, more awkward news on the EU vs UK front. I might have to start taking the idea of an irish passport a bit more seriously [02:38] you're irish but living in the UK? [02:39] british but living in the republic [02:40] why do you need an irish passport precisely? [02:40] because I plan on moving to the continent in the new future, so the UK being silly with their position re: the EU makes me nervous [02:42] stops the foreigners flooding in though [02:42] ;) [02:43] well I guess that's it. I haven't lived in the UK since 2001. I kinda value my ability to move around as the winds take me [02:43] I can see why it is a pain for someone who wants/needs to do that, yeh [02:43] :/ [02:44] it becomes oddly one-sided because in our minds, there's no such thing as british immigrants [02:45] foreigners moving to the UK are immigrants. boo, hiss, immigrants. british moving elsewhere becomes ex-pats. not emmigrant/immigrant [02:45] well, tbh, I would have nothing against another country turning whoever away [02:45] but a pain for some [02:47] but I refuse to learn Polish [02:47] unless I decide to move to Poland ofc [02:47] I don't blame you. it's not an easy one. slavic languages are crazy [02:48] I struggle with English [02:48] ;D [02:48] most of yorkshire does. we're used to it ;) [02:48] ohhhhhhhhhhhhh [02:48] ;p [02:49] my little sister lives up that way. she does the chameleon thing with accents, so it's quite a surprise to hear [02:51] I wouldn't wanna sound like a southern pussy anyway [02:51] ;D [02:51] I've wound up with an odd accent where northerners think I sound southern, and southerners think I sound northern. so I can't win either way [02:51] haha [02:52] you don't belong anywhere! [02:52] * hamitron sends shauno to Ireland [02:52] heh, I pretty much don't. which is why I value being able to keep moving :) [02:53] I wish I had the ability to move sometimes [02:53] what do you guys think of english spoken with a swedish accent? [02:53] if she is good looking, very nice [02:53] ;) [02:53] it's usually more understandable than parts of the UK :/ [02:53] what if she is a he and you don't care about his looks either way? [02:54] :p [02:54] then I am neutral [02:54] haha [02:54] good enough. [02:54] I lived with a swedish guy for a while; his spoken english was fine, but he couldn't spell to save his life [02:54] oh dear. [02:55] I just have one standout memory of him asking me how to spell "cloudy" [02:55] at which point we decided I should probably read his paper before he turned it in [02:55] funny thing, i can listen to french and write it down with decent spelling, but i can understand very little of it. [02:56] it was the only part of french class i was any good at. [02:56] probably nothing worth understanding anyway [02:56] ;) [02:56] hehe [02:56] I have this problem with french too. were were basically taught french with an english accent [02:57] I've only ever come across German and Japanese text, that I want/need to understand [02:57] ah [02:57] particularly with french & german, we have this mindset that the only time you actually try to impersonate the accent is when you're making fun of them [02:57] haha [02:57] i'm half french and can't even pronounce my very french name right. [02:58] and i've had dimwitted francophones ask me if i'm aware my name is french. [02:58] shauno, are you good at languages, if you travel? [02:58] (my surname is François.) [02:58] you can study for as long as you like, but if you can't shake this aversion to the accent, it'll be useless [02:58] not really. I find a surprising number of them vaguely readable; enough to find my way around (although I still laugh at ausfahrt) [02:59] but I can't speak them at all :/ [02:59] :/ [03:00] don't you have to learn Irish, to get one of their passports? [03:00] ;) [03:00] hah [03:00] I learnt mna & fir, by force. that's all I've ever needed [03:01] errrr [03:01] wtf are they? ;) [03:01] if you even find yourself staring at toilets that don't have pictures on the door - it's not m for male and f for female lol .. fir is gents & mna is ladies [03:02] ah damn :/ [03:02] ty for the tip [03:02] haha [03:02] I'll never forget that one :/ [03:02] what if the doors have "F" and "M"? [03:02] ;) [03:02] hold it [03:03] haha [03:03] seriously, there should be rules against not putting pictures on bathroom doors [03:03] or use a proper language [03:03] :) [03:04] there's places not far from here where gaelic is still the dominant language [03:04] not ideal, but I suppose they've been there a long time [03:04] ;) [03:05] I'm working on slovak at the moment. I'm at the stage where I can pick dinner out of a menu, but their grammar makes me want to stab pencils into my eyes [03:06] and is that a menu with numbers next to the dishes? ;) [03:06] I love asking for a "number 2" pizza [03:07] I just order pizza online because I can't prounce the street I live on :/ [03:07] hehe [03:07] you can order online? :/ [03:08] oh yes. online fastfood is the greatest invention since the internet [03:08] never done iteven by phone, taxi is too expensive for delivery [03:08] :/ [03:08] not paying £15-20 on top of the price of the food [03:09] each slice would be painful to eat, knowing what it cost [03:09] http://www.just-eat.ie/area/galway-city-centre is just fantastic [03:09] damn it [03:09] I want pizza now [03:11] that is actually a cool site [03:11] man, I should move to a town [03:11] or city [03:11] sure beats frozen pizza [03:12] I think most places are 3eur for delivery, but it beats buying a car [03:13] yeh [03:13] I tend to just make a proper night of it on the town [03:13] drink, pizza, drink, bus home in morning [03:13] :) [03:14] unless things go well ofc [03:14] ;) [03:14] hah, I can stumble from here [03:14] I did that with manchester once, ending the night at the trainstation waiting for dawn to take us home. not fun [03:15] not fun? [03:15] ;/ [03:15] drink enough and it really doesn't matter [03:15] that was a pretty cold end to the evening [03:15] and the wee BTP chap kept waking us up [03:15] BTP? [03:16] transport police [03:16] errrr [03:16] it's a real thing lol [03:16] Police Station closes at 5pm in my local town [03:16] :) [03:17] probably a good thing [03:17] if they do all these on the spot fines now [03:18] meh [03:18] I really need food [03:18] :/ [03:18] I did that for a while .. lived in a town of 900 people, the smallest police force I've ever seen [03:18] wasting away here [03:18] technically it's a city, but with 900 people, I find it difficult to put 'city' in the same sentence [03:19] haha, yeh [03:21] they actually pulled me over on a bicycle once too :/ [03:21] what for? [03:21] no idea, they drove off when I took my mask off [03:21] :) [03:23] that was in michigan, it got rather cold in the winter. so it was normal for me to be very wrapped up cycling to/from work [03:25] hmmm [03:25] sounds like it [03:25] I've only ever got pulled for speeding [03:25] nothing sinister, like hiding my identity ;) [03:26] pfft, nothing hidden about it. I was the only person in town that cycled in the winter. and I'm pretty sure all 4 cops knew that [03:27] hehe, so it was personal [03:27] :) [03:28] or state/sherif passing through. I couldn't see with their lights on [03:31] right [03:31] I'm gonna get some sleep [03:31] 3:30am [03:31] :) [03:31] I may not have much work on [03:31] but still need to wake in good time [03:31] ;) [03:32] hm, I still need something to keep me awake for the next 2 hours [03:32] 'night [03:32] movie! [03:32] nn [03:40] morning shauno [03:41] I've got just the thing. write me a mobile app and a backend that I can monetise for personal profit while not paying you a thing [03:49] #1160372 - marked as fix released on 2013-05-24 for raring, and someone just posted that they think they're currently being haxx0red by someone "using this bug" [03:49] I fail to see how it's a security issue in the first place, let alone how they can be affected by it now [03:54] if anything, not being able to login to ftp is properly security-positive [03:54] indeed [03:55] there's a lot of irrelevant suse stuff in that comment archive [03:56] my fault - I linked their bug tracking the issue which seems to have gone off on a tangent talking about all sorts of randomness [03:56] not quite as funny as this though, https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/24/116 [03:57] *slow* [03:57] there's only one kernel developer? (first line) [03:57] ok [03:57] that's _got_ to be a troll? [03:58] why isn't #wordpress' doc-bot in here so I can .fry [03:58] .fry [03:58] see doesn't work [04:00] it should post a link to an image similar to: http://go.bwlh.at/1cgw0X0 [04:00] if it just links "not sure if" instead of returning some sarcasm from stephen fry, I'd just be disappointed anyway [04:00] sarcasm from stephen would be awesome [04:01] the top link on google for stephen fry sarcasm is http://go.bwlh.at/1cgw7Sm [04:06] project zomboid is oddly addictive. I love that it'll let you have a stick of butter for dinner - but it will make you sad [04:07] o_O [04:07] banana? [04:07] they go off too quickly [04:08] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvxqnQmahTA [04:11] that's a bad edit [04:13] I wonder if there's any stats for how many people watch youtube adverts past the first 5 seconds [04:13] they've started making some adverts unskippable [04:23] ryanair need a loyalty scheme. like my coach give me every 10th trip free [04:30] seems for new years' I'll be taking different airlines in each direction. what could possibly go wrong [05:02] shauno: "frequent flyer bonus - 2 extra inches allowance on the cabin baggage dimensions" [05:05] xnox: it's Ryanair. If anything, you'll get 2 inches *less* [05:25] I've never had a problem with them. bar one time they landed me in brno instead of bratislava [05:27] which was more a communication issue than a weather issue. no-one was quite sure what was going on. a decent number weren't even sure what country we were in [05:37] it was funnier when they still labelled that flight vienna/bratislava though. I thought getting landed in eindhoven instead of amsterdam was bad - at least it was the right country [05:46] Eindhoven is still 1.5 hours away from Amsterdam (by train) [05:47] that's not unusual .. paris/bauvais feels about the same [05:47] eindhoven's just a funny one because it feels like it's about as far away as it could possibly be, without being in a different country [05:48] but vienna/bratislava is still the only one I know of where you didn't even land in the same country as advertised [05:49] http://thecodelesscode.com/case/121 [05:49] shauno: nah that would be Maastricht or Groningen [06:12] well there's a great start to the day .. "please do not turn lights on due to electrical fire" [06:42] ug [06:56] morning ug [06:57] don't worry, I'll shut up eventually. downside of an allnighter is that my brain will shut off at daybreak [07:09] morning all === iahmad is now known as iahmad|afk [08:04] \o MooDoo [08:05] MartijnVdS: howdy :D [08:20] MartijnVdS: good weekend? [08:21] MooDoo: yeah, did a nice long run :) [08:22] ewwww running? I've got two speeds, slow and stop :D [08:24] MooDoo: I'm training for a 20km run in early March [08:24] MartijnVdS: fantastic :D [08:26] MooDoo: (it's the 4th time I'm doing it) [08:26] MartijnVdS: awesome [08:28] I've also re-installed my Pi [08:28] but I forgot what I wanted to do with it [08:28] learn to code ;) [08:29] MooDoo: .. yes [08:29] :) [08:29] because that's only been my job for 15 years 8-) [08:30] a fun chance to add Scratch to your CV ;) [08:30] I might use it to teach myself a bit of Chef [08:30] we use that a lot at work [08:31] :) [08:31] it's apparently suitable for Docker too; I have no idea what it does, but it's reaching new heights of buzzword compatibility [08:31] Docker seems to be LCX++ [08:31] LXC [08:33] shauno: we use vagrant(+chef) for development here [08:33] Morning all. [08:34] g'morning popey [08:34] morning popey hope you're well [08:36] Very! [08:51] good morning everyone. [08:51] morning brobostigon :) [08:52] morning MooDoo :) [08:55] how are you brobostigon ? [08:56] MooDoo: upside down, emotional, recent things have caught up with me. and you? [08:57] brobostigon: i'm not too bad thanks, bug hugs to you [08:57] bug hugs? [08:57] oh lol big hugs :D [08:57] thank you :) [08:57] morning people [08:57] morning SuperMatt :) [08:58] morning SuperMatt [08:58] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16UlxmYgruo <- ubuntu in action in this video ;) [08:59] you don't have to watch it all [09:06] SuperMatt: nice tshirt : [09:06] thanks :) [09:06] I'm wearing a google helpouts hoodie right now [09:06] it's quite snuggly [09:06] woop, the brobostigon'ators christmas present, a pebble. :) [09:07] SuperMatt: sweet :D I'm wearing my meerkat tshirt :D [09:08] SuperMatt: although I do fancy a polo shirt. [09:08] I've given up on the world of polo shirts [09:09] SuperMatt: how come? [09:09] i have an ubuntu tshirt somewhere from about 4 odd years ago. [09:10] mostly because I now work somewhere I can where whatever the hell I like ;) [09:11] lol [09:14] is it a brown tshirt? [09:15] * brobostigon has a hissy hit, he wants his pebble now, but has to wait, :( [09:20] bashrc: is what a brown shirt? [09:22] Good morning all; happy Cyber Monday! :-D [09:22] JamesTait: morning [09:22] MooDoo, o/ [09:27] brown came before pinkish, or whatever the ubuntu colour is now [09:29] Is there a way of finding out if a programme is coming to BBC, my parents asked me to get them a documentary on bcc but not currently available on the site [09:29] bashrc: ah no my shirt is grey :) [09:29] Get_iplayer won't work either because I guess it's delisted. [09:32] Coming back to the bbc* [10:03] diplo: not even with --pid ? [10:04] Nope, well not that I was succesful :/ === iahmad|afk is now known as iahmad [10:13] Good morning peeps :) [10:14] diplo: you can give get_iplayer a search term. I use the web interface for setting up such things [10:38] ... [10:39] morning all [10:39] morning AlanBell how are you? [10:39] fine, very happy with the new lights in the office [10:39] huge LED panels, very white light [10:40] good good :D [10:40] LED panels? Like monitors? [10:40] or more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym4O0z13HiM [10:42] MartijnVdS: yeah, like those, but square [11:08] Achievement unlocked: Dunking digestives without losing them in my tea. [11:08] It's the little things. [11:08] lol [11:09] popey: http://www.reddit.com/r/britishsuccess [11:09] popey: (see top banner) [11:09] :D [11:10] Rachael Riley is single again. - woohoo chance for me afterall :D [11:10] yes I'll settle for 0.0000000000000000001% :) [11:12] There's a new subreddit I subscribed to at the weekend you lot might also appreciate: http://www.reddit.com/r/ukgaming [11:12] Yeah, saw that news about Rachel [11:12] regarding the top thread, the Blockbuster just around the corner from where I live closed down last week. [11:12] Why is it celebrities have such short marriages? [11:12] Or is it just that they're publicised more than "normals" [11:12] popey: I blame strictly.... [11:12] popey: a bit of both [11:13] popey: also, it's hard to lead a stable life in the limelight -- lots of pressure (peer and other) [11:13] I always think of the fact that Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reaves' characters in Speed didn't stay together because their relationship was based on the events of the first film. [11:14] dwatkins: maybe it would of been differnet if keanu was on the boat ;) [11:14] dwatkins: then again he was either with rachel weiss or in a phone box going back in time....;) [11:14] MooDoo: that would be Canoo Reeves, not Keanu [11:14] MooDoo: iirc they split up between the films, but I suppose they might have gotten back together (Keanu wasn't in the 2nd film, I believe) [11:15] Speed 2 - because you only cared about Sandra Bullock being in the film anyway [11:17] hmm, probably not dfsg free https://github.com/landondyer/kasm/blob/master/LICENSE [11:17] bwahaha :) [11:19] * bigcalm giggles [11:19] MooDoo: what happ-ened? [11:19] with rachel riley? [11:19] it is funny, but comedy license provisions are not a great idea, like the JSON license [11:20]
