| daftykins | you can't delete the credentials for a wifi network in windows 8.1 | 00:24 |
| daftykins | at least not graphically. i had to run "netsh wlan delete profile name=SSID" | 00:24 |
| popey | directhex: do you have The Stanley parable? | 00:30 |
| MooDoo | morning all | 07:26 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 07:38 |
| * MartijnVdS listens to http://open.spotify.com/album/6Ke8YiLYx2pzt8TaDeNp1B | 07:41 | |
| * MooDoo is at work tackling next years rota. | 07:43 | |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rota,_C%C3%A1diz ? | 07:43 |
| MooDoo | yeah maybe i should send people there :) | 07:45 |

| TheOpenSourcerer | Morning all. | 08:21 |
| dwatkins | allo allo | 08:21 |
| MooDoo | morning | 08:21 |
| dwatkins | cool, the BBC Micro USB adapters may be available again in the new year | 08:26 |
| dwatkins | Something useful for my little computer museum | 08:26 |
| SuperMatt | bbc micro usb adaptor? | 08:50 |
| SuperMatt | sounds too good to be true | 08:50 |
| dwatkins | SuperMatt: details here: http://www.retroclinic.com/acorn/datacentre/datacentre.htm | 08:51 |
| dwatkins | I'm still waiting for them to do another batch of them, they had run out of stock when I asked a year ago | 08:51 |
| SuperMatt | I'm surprised the bbc micro can support such stuff | 08:52 |
| dwatkins | I think it uses a ROM to present each .ssd and dsd file as a disc to the OS | 08:55 |
| SuperMatt | I see | 08:55 |
| * SuperMatt doesn't see | 08:55 | |
| dwatkins | maybe the ROM just sends and receives data via the user port, and the board itself implements the FAT32 filesystem | 08:55 |
| SuperMatt | I can't remember if I've ever used a bbc micro | 08:55 |
| MooDoo | Last time I was on one was when I played Frak :) | 08:56 |
| dwatkins | I replaced the function keys on my IBM Model M keyboard to vaguely resemble a BBC Micro / Archimedes. | 08:56 |

| diplo | Anyone point me in the direction of what may cause this error in messages "q 30000 above highwater mark 30000, /path/to/file" | 09:23 |
| diplo | Also keyboard has changed to US style even thouh it says it's UK :/ | 09:23 |

| bashrc | I immigrated to planet Earth | 11:27 |
| knightwise | A colonial ? Who ? | 11:27 |
| MooDoo | knightwise: dr who? | 11:27 |
| knightwise | bashrc: are you sure that was a wise move ? | 11:27 |
| knightwise | MooDoo: Very clever earthling | 11:28 |
| knightwise | I managed to fix my synapic pointer issue on my thinkpad last night | 11:28 |

| popey | I'd be tempted to buy the bits to make a steam machine for the lounge at some point | 13:30 |
| MooDoo | anyone plauyed with steamos yet just seing that comment of popey 's | 13:30 |
| popey | not much to play with really if you're already used to steam on linux | 13:31 |
| directhex | popey, now we know the basics of the os, the next interesting bit will be the controllers shipping in bulk | 13:32 |
| directhex | popey, also all the steamos boxes and games announced in early jan at CES | 13:33 |
| popey | yeah, looking forward to trying those new ones | 13:33 |
| popey | i like the look of that one that goes on the back of the telly | 13:33 |
| popey | well, i like the *idea* of it | 13:33 |
| popey | golly, I have 96 linux games in steam | 13:33 |
| directhex | that all? :p | 13:36 |
| popey | ☻ | 13:36 |

| ali1234 | is it worth getting a motherboard with legacy PCI still? | 13:44 |
| ali1234 | it's basically a choice between 4x PCIe and 2x PCIe + 2x PCI | 13:46 |
| ormiret | ali1234: I'd say you only need PCI if you already have PCI cards you want to use - you're unlikely to need it for anything new. | 13:50 |
| ali1234 | http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/279637 | 13:56 |
| popey | speakers? | 14:01 |
| popey | or a cable to take audio from sound card to screen | 14:01 |
| directhex | ali1234, which PCI device do you want to use? | 14:04 |
| directhex | ali1234, i can't even remember the last time PCI made sense | 14:04 |
| Monotoko | PCI just reminds me we have a PCI DSS assessment in a month... ugh | 14:07 |

| AlanBell | MartijnVdS: very clever | 20:05 |

| AlanBell | but they don't know why they say it the wrong way round | 20:06 |

| shauno | I think the more interesting question is why don't we write the month first? | 20:26 |
| AlanBell | yyy-mm-dd is defensible | 20:26 |
| AlanBell | yyyy-mm-dd is more defensible than that | 20:26 |
