[00:25] <keir> AlanBell: quite a lot slower, I'm booting off an SSD
[00:26] <keir> AlanBell: I did a bootchart and it seems (if I'm reading it right) to have lots of idle time
[00:42] <diddledan> keir: try looking through `dmesg` output on a freshly booted instance to see if there are any timeouts or other errors during bootup
[08:02] <knightwise> hey everyone
[08:16] <foobarry> morning
[08:26] <knightwise> hey foobarry
[08:26] <knightwise> how are you
[08:32] <MartijnVdS> \o
[08:32] <knightwise> hey MartijnVdS  !
[08:32]  * MartijnVdS h4x0red his TV
[08:32] <MartijnVdS> factory service menu++
[08:37] <knightwise> MartijnVdS: Nice :)
[08:38] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: it thinks it was bought in the UK now, and it offers me "real" FreeSat menus and everything
[08:38] <knightwise> i'm currently working on installing Plex on my media server so I can stream music from anywhere
[08:38] <MartijnVdS> red button service, too
[08:38] <knightwise> =-) H@X0rrrrr
[08:39] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: nah, it's 3 "normal" buttons to get from "off" to "service menu"
[08:39] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: then a press of the "factory" button (which isn't on normal remotes, yay Logitech Harmony)
[08:40] <MartijnVdS> and then you just select the country you want, and do a factory reset
[08:42] <MartijnVdS> And you need a UK postcode so it knows which "local" channels to use when there are options 8-)
[08:42] <knightwise> hahah :) awesome
[08:42] <MartijnVdS> but those aren't hard to come by
[09:13] <foobarry> lol

[10:03] <Laney> 0181 811 8181
[10:23] <foobarry> my tablet started doing the insufficient space error installing new app , ebeneven whwen thgerebis loads of space..annoying
[10:29] <dwatkins> doesn't Android have two kinds of storage?
[10:29] <dwatkins> my phone would run out of internal space, so I moved apps to the SD card.
[10:42] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[10:57] <MartijnVdS> \o
[10:57] <MartijnVdS> dwatkins: I used the one of my last hotel :)
[10:58] <MartijnVdS> dwatkins: modern android fixed that by putting everything on one partition, so moving apps won't really help
[10:59] <brobostigon> morning MartijnVdS
[11:58] <dwatkins> MartijnVdS: ah ok, I'm still on Gingerbread.
[12:05] <foobarry> i have cm10
[12:05] <foobarry> kind of fixed it now bymoving appas around
[12:06] <foobarry> bit annoying that android ,in trying to make things esier  ,makes things worse
[12:06]  * brobostigon is a cm11 man, :)
[12:09] <foobarry> theres elf bowling the movie?
[12:10] <foobarry> i have a touchpad, cm11 rather breaky,i heard
[12:11] <brobostigon> it works very well on my nexus7.
[12:11] <foobarry> i bet
[12:13] <dwatkins> cm7.2
[13:02] <foobarry> ubuntu noticed on bbc click today
[13:02] <foobarry> in the robnot segmemt
[13:21] <popey> Good morning.
[13:23] <foobarry> hello

[13:34] <popey> huzzah
[13:44] <foobarry> i never met someone whjo paid for extra birds in angry birds
[13:47] <popey> did you see the article about where's my water?
[13:47] <popey> http://appadvice.com/appnn/2013/12/following-player-backlash-disney-removes-energy-system-in-wheres-my-water-2
[13:51] <foobarry> that wasd hard to read
[13:52] <popey> first article I found, probably better written ones available
[13:52]  * popey updates his firefoxos phone
[13:53] <foobarry> crawls into bed for power nap
[13:53] <popey> heh
[13:54] <popey> given this is *firefox* OS.. how did the browser become so terrible on it
[14:27] <foobarry> back in the land of living
[14:27] <foobarry> put in a 6 hr parenting shift this morning
[14:28] <foobarry> gave milk to my son which was three days out of date.woops
[14:35] <foobarry> can anyone recommend a good bluetooth keybaord foir my tablet?
[14:35] <foobarry> cheaper is btter
[14:40] <AlanBell> I can see you need a new one ;)
[14:40] <AlanBell> what tablet? for the nexus 7 there is a really nice one that clips to it
[14:42] <foobarry> hhpp touchpad, but future proofy
[14:42]  * MartijnVdS has a "Minix Neo X7"
[14:42] <foobarry> typing over a screen session on connectbot is faily
[14:42] <MartijnVdS> I wonder how customizable it is
[14:42] <foobarry> martijn, isnt that a android device?
[14:42] <foobarry> the x5 sucks
[14:43] <MartijnVdS> foobarry: it is, but it seems like a very hacky version to me
[14:45] <foobarry> think ill buy the hp one. £20 on ebay, good reputation
[14:51] <foobarry> hmm no ctrl or esc key
[14:59] <foobarry> MartijnVdS: remember we were talking about leaky car?
[15:00] <foobarry> my wife said it had been streaming in through the windscreen. i think the rubber had receded right at teh top behind the windscreen seal. time for sugru action
[15:00] <foobarry> but the car will not dry out for long time methinks. its soaked in there
[15:04] <foobarry> http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/internet-uproar-erupts-after-pr-woman-for-media-firm-tweets
[15:04] <foobarry> woops
[15:12] <MartijnVdS> foobarry: leaky windscreen? that'll take a *lot* of sugru to fix
[15:16] <foobarry> just a teeny bit above the top corner
[15:17] <foobarry> i've fixed with a little bit of duct tape atm
[15:18] <foobarry> its a little cavity behind the windscrene and where the roof t-bar ends
[15:19] <DJones> foobarry: Just saw your comment about keyboards for N7 I've just got one of these for my mother-in-law as a christmas present for her N7 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FASJ4B8/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[15:21] <DJones> Seemed quite good, keyboard attaches inside the case with velco so you can use the case purely as a case, or with the keyboard, although as far as I can see it is only compatible with the 2013 N7
[15:21] <foobarry> wow thats a nice price
[15:21] <foobarry> i just clicked buy on a hp one on the eebay
[15:21] <foobarry> thanks, if i had a n7 i would buythat
[15:22] <foobarry> "synthetic leather"
[15:22] <foobarry> i wonder whats not comaptible
[15:23] <DJones> I'm not sure, I'd double check but I've just wrapped it this morning, I'm sure the instructions mentioned it, and I think one of the reviews comments on it somewhere
[15:47] <shauno> wow, talk about awkward translations.  re the christmas naughty/nice traditions, "if you are good, jesus will bring you sweets.  if you're bad, a black man will beat you".  there really seems to be no good english translation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chort
[15:50] <shauno> I've suggested the less descriptive 'a demon'.  because there's no way someone's going to read the original the right way
[16:15] <foobarry> folk christian is misleading too
[16:16] <foobarry> doesn't have any judeao christian basis
[16:17] <foobarry> can't believe i have to walk the dog in this weather
[16:17] <foobarry> maybe she will turn around after 5 minute
[16:40] <foobarry> horlicks and stollen mmm
[16:45] <directhex> Ye Olde SteamOSe second version released! New bugfixes and dual boot. http://directhex.github.io/steamos-installer/
[16:46] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:24] <daftykins> directhex: nice work, i'm surprised they made such restrictions for it
[17:52] <shauno> I was going to ask if you still need seeders, but that came down in 34 seconds
[17:54] <directhex> i'll ask tollef for download stats later
[18:51] <ali1234> my ratio is at 6
[18:51] <ali1234> but i can't even reach the trackers
[18:58] <MooDoo> evening all
[18:58] <MartijnVdS> \o MooDoo
[18:58] <MooDoo> :)
[18:59] <MartijnVdS> Horizon about comet ISON on BBC Four
[19:00] <MooDoo> got strictly on in our house :S
[19:00] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: aww :)
[19:01] <daftykins> MooDoo: rebel!
[19:01] <daftykins> i couldn't handle such drivel
[19:01] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: hence his irc presence, I guess? ;)
[19:01] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: it doesn't protect the ears :(
[19:01] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: headphones exist
[19:02] <daftykins> if anyone's interested in a short read about the original Casio G-Shock watches, i was forwarded this a while ago: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqa92jp8giql8cu/Casio.pdf
[19:21] <directhex> ali1234, i'd welcome any suggestions for tcp open trackers for next time
[19:31] <ali1234> if there are any they are probably blocked to me anyway
[19:32] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: you didn't ask your ISP for the internet *with* porn?
[19:33] <ali1234> i don't pay for the server
[19:33] <ali1234> it's at hetzner
[19:36] <ali1234> it actually looks a lot like hetzner is banned at the tracker end
[19:39] <shauno> which tracker?  mine's on hetzner too
[19:41] <ali1234> tracker.publicbt.com
[19:41] <ali1234> tracker.openbittorrent.com
[19:41] <ali1234> mtr gets all the way to the last hop then nothing
[19:41] <MartijnVdS> maybe I should put my 100/100 fibre to good use? :)
[19:43] <shauno> hm, I can reach them both fine (and mtr to both is clean, with the second-last hop being rrbone.net in both cases); http://cl.ly/image/2z25373G1n07
[19:43] <ali1234> well, it isn't my firewall
[19:44] <ali1234> and it isn't rtorrent
[19:44] <MartijnVdS> maybe it's your history with hetzner? ;)
[19:44] <shauno> just adding a datapoint since mine's on hetzner too (I know some things have blocked hetzner flat-out, so it was worth checking)
[19:44] <MartijnVdS> i.e. the number of complaints they've received
[19:44] <ali1234> yeah efnet totally blocks hetzner
[19:48] <daftykins> i can't even get the Hetzner homepage
[19:49] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: "Thanks, Cameron"
[19:50] <daftykins> huh?
[19:50] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: oh Americans like to go "Thanks, Obama" about everything he has (not) done
[19:50] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: didn't Cameron push some kind of "block ALL the things" filtering?
[19:50] <daftykins> oh i'm not interested in politics.
[19:50] <daftykins> especially neither government having much bearing on my own
[19:50] <daftykins> well i'm not in England sir
[19:51] <daftykins> so their jurisdiction doth not apply
[19:51] <MartijnVdS> ah yes you're on the islands
[19:51] <daftykins> :)
[19:51]  * MartijnVdS might pay those a visit this summer
[19:51] <MartijnVdS> *will
[19:52] <daftykins> :D
[19:52] <daftykins> let me know if you do!
[19:55] <SuperMatt> oooh, my s3 has updated and now the email app doesn't make me want to kill myself \o/
[19:55] <daftykins> 4.3?
[19:56] <SuperMatt> yup
[19:58] <daftykins> neat, i'd been waiting to see the arrival of that on my clients two SGS3s
[19:59] <daftykins> just bought BioShock Infinite on the Steam sale, wow it runs well despite my 6 year old PC (with a slightly newer graphics card)
[19:59] <daftykins> i can run 1920x1200 + ultra detail :O
[19:59] <MartijnVdS> Yes.. I have a ticket for the Jersey Opera House on July 26 \o/
[19:59] <daftykins> ooh what's on there?
[19:59] <SuperMatt> keep your eyes on the roof
[19:59] <daftykins> roof? :)
[19:59] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: http://www.jerseyoperahouse.co.uk/show/an-evening-with-nerina-pallot/
[19:59] <daftykins> ah your fave femme again
[19:59] <SuperMatt> daftykins: it's a very poor taste joke
[20:00] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: the roof of the Apollo in London collapsed
[20:00] <daftykins> oh right
[20:00] <daftykins> i had not heard of that
[20:01] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: is it possible to take the car across from France to the channel islands?
[20:01] <daftykins> yes sir, condorferries.co.uk sail from St. Malo
[20:01] <MartijnVdS> I need to wait a few months to book then 8-)
[20:01] <MartijnVdS> "Sailings available up to 24 March"
[20:01] <MartijnVdS> oh 2015
[20:02] <daftykins> :D
[20:02] <daftykins> hate sites that don't sort out the www. issue
[20:02] <daftykins> i told them about it once but obviously they do not care
[20:02] <MartijnVdS> chrome sort-of fixed it
[20:02] <MartijnVdS> only one extra click
[20:03] <daftykins> :>
[20:03] <MartijnVdS> OK.. I'm going to have to plan a trip through France soon then ;)
[20:08] <daftykins> exciting!
[20:09] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: yeah :)
[20:10] <daftykins> alas i am on Guernsey so it might be a fair bit more expensive for you to island hop
[20:14] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: I don't know if Jersey has a week's worth of sights to see though
[20:16] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[20:16] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: hmm i don't know it that well, when we spent a weekend over there we went to see the Zoo and the underground hospital, which were neat
[20:18] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: I'm going to figure out my travel schedule/routes soon :)
[20:27] <MartijnVdS> heh, Google Maps pegman has a christmas het
[20:27] <MartijnVdS> hat
[21:01]  * AlanBell wonders if Myrtti has seen the knitting google doodle
[22:01] <Myrtti> AlanBell: yes
[22:54] <shauno> daftykins: I always find it entertaining that nasa.gov still requires the www. prefix.  of all people.
[22:59] <shauno> I remember reading a whole blog article there about why it's still the case, but I can never find it again.  'www' makes a very poor search term
[23:01] <directhex> some old school sysadmins are obsessive about it
[23:01] <directhex> oxford uni was like that
[23:02] <directhex> i had complaints when my subdomain didn't force www
[23:02] <penguin42> shauno: I would point out that nasa is concerned with a lot more than the *world* in www
[23:03] <shauno> I just think it's an interesting example because we tend to see that behaviour and consider it broken
[23:06] <shauno> ah, found it!  simple answer . they can't afford it?  http://blogs.nasa.gov/nasadotgov/2011/05/31/post_1306860816073/
[23:24] <penguin42> I guess the DNS change is easy but then someone would have to spend sometime testing any larger change - I'm not sure if I believe there is a need to add more servers
[23:33]  * AlanBell upgrades a computer to trusty
[23:45] <penguin42> all good on this one
[23:54] <salimfadhley> nickserv identify nougat
[23:56] <penguin42> salimfadhley: Tell me you didn't just change it to caramel
[23:58] <daftykins> penguin42: XD
