| mappps | hey | 04:59 |
|---|---|---|
| mappps | i guess its too late for uk folk and too early by an hour for MartijnVdS | 04:59 |
| mappps | ;] | 04:59 |
| datanaut_ | Some of us UK folk are up. | 05:01 |
| mappps | oh | 05:05 |
| mappps | not slept?:) | 05:05 |
| MartijnVdS | morning | 05:09 |
| mappps | morning MartijnVdS | 05:09 |
| MartijnVdS | mappps: can't I even take a shower without you needing me? :P | 05:10 |
| mappps | lol | 05:11 |
| mappps | i was just thinking youd be around in an hour | 05:11 |
| mappps | :) | 05:11 |
| mappps | gonna watch true detective in a minute sounds ok | 05:12 |
| shauno | too early? really? | 05:19 |
| mappps | heh guess not | 05:25 |
| mappps | what time do you uk folks sleep then | 05:25 |
| shauno | saturday, basically | 05:26 |
| shauno | being a 'night owl' and having 6am shifts combine in the worst way possible | 05:27 |
| mappps | ugh yea that sounds it | 05:27 |
| MartijnVdS | and being a morning person and leaving for work at 6:45 (NL time) is my excuse ;) | 05:27 |
| mappps | i think id struggle to sleep before say 11/12 if i worked days..some people i see at the gym at 4am sometimes (after work) theyre going before work | 05:28 |
| mappps | and go to sleep at like 8/9pm!! | 05:28 |
| shauno | I can't go to sleep at 9pm :/ | 05:28 |
| shauno | my internets are fastest 2-5am, and the evening's just warming up as the yanks socialize | 05:28 |
| mappps | yea id find it really hard like i say | 05:29 |
| mappps | 9pm..the 10 o clock news hasnt even been on yet! | 05:30 |
| shauno | I gotta say I'm loving my new nets. I'm paying for 120mbit, but it's not unusual to see 150-170 overnight | 05:32 |
| MartijnVdS | and upstream speed? | 05:34 |
| shauno | pathetic :( | 05:34 |
| shauno | well, I'm not sure 10meg is so bad compared to what I've had in the past. but yes your 100/100 sounds lovely :p | 05:34 |
| MartijnVdS | shauno: they'll be upgrading to 500/500 soon | 05:35 |
| shauno | :( | 05:35 |
| shauno | I got a letter telling me that if I kept downloading so much, they'd be forced to upgrade me to the next plan. | 05:35 |
| shauno | I was all excited and gave them a call. there is no next plan. they were teasing me :( | 05:36 |
| MartijnVdS | I already have a gigabit link, it's just throttled at 100/100 because there isn't enough capacity at the other end yet | 05:36 |
| MartijnVdS | shauno: awww | 05:36 |
| shauno | I'm not sure "oh please mistress, punish me!" was the response they expected from their letters | 05:36 |
| MartijnVdS | maybe they could get you a second line and do some kind of bundling/bonding? | 05:38 |
| shauno | you'd think isps would understand geeks a little better. a letter telling you you're in the 1% of their users, and the response is ... I know | 05:38 |
| shauno | I'm not sure it'd take a second line. just offer me a plan that doesn't have an asterix next to 'unlimited' in the description | 05:40 |
| jussi | o/ | 06:07 |
| shauno | \o | 06:32 |
| jussi | people are so lazy... | 06:48 |
| jussi | I mean seriously, you live ~500 m from the school, but you feel the need to drive your kids there every morning? | 06:48 |
| MooDoo | morning all | 06:55 |
| MooDoo | jussi: oh that pee's me off as well | 06:55 |
| jussi | MooDoo: there are a number of people in this little village who do it, all under 1 km from the school | 06:59 |
| MooDoo | yeah lazy | 06:59 |
| MooDoo | understandable if it's totally raining etc, but if it's fine, they should walk lol | 06:59 |
| popey | morning | 07:07 |
| popey | maybe they're dropping off on the way to something else? | 07:07 |
| popey | like work | 07:07 |
| MooDoo | popey: not the people in my village, but yes that could be the case as well. | 07:08 |
| jussi | popey: nope, I watch them leave, then 10 mins later back | 07:09 |
| popey | our kids school is 3.3 miles away | 07:12 |
| popey | so no real option but to drive | 07:12 |
| jussi | popey: make them walk! then they can tell their kids "when I was a child, I had to walk 3.3 miles through snow...!" | 07:15 |
| jussi | :P | 07:15 |
| popey | heh | 07:31 |
| popey | playing this at full tilt in the office to test the phone volume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHPkgIPDfcE#t=1m45 | 07:50 |
| MooDoo | if this is a rick roll popey I'll not be happy ;) | 07:51 |
| MooDoo | phew | 07:51 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: what's your obsession with 80s music? ;) | 07:51 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: you were concerned about being rick rolled earlier this week too ;) | 07:51 |
| popey | its very jolly for a friday | 07:51 |
| MooDoo | MartijnVdS: 80's music rocks :) | 07:51 |
| MooDoo | MartijnVdS: I suspect I'm older than you :p | 07:52 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: likely | 07:52 |
| * MartijnVdS was born in 1980 | 07:54 | |
| jussi | MooDoo: I was watching some vanilla ice for old times sake this morning :P | 07:54 |
| MartijnVdS | jussi: vanilla ice ice baby? | 07:54 |
| jussi | MartijnVdS: yes :P | 07:55 |
| MartijnVdS | jussi: under pressure ;) | 07:55 |
| jussi | which then led me to "Mr T - Treat her right" :P :P | 07:55 |
| * MartijnVdS fears jussi's music collection | 07:55 | |
| MartijnVdS | jussi: though I have this: http://open.spotify.com/user/martijnvds/playlist/4sXUFBP520n3SC2o8bg0TF | 07:56 |
| MartijnVdS | jussi: and this: http://open.spotify.com/user/martijnvds/playlist/1g55QqilucQ0qr1x4Sv5fw | 07:56 |
| jussi | MartijnVdS: I dont beleive in music collections | 07:56 |
| jussi | except a few old vinyls that I have | 07:56 |
| popey | nice being first in the office. i can play music as loud as I like | 07:56 |
| popey | even the crap stuff | 07:57 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: I know the feeling ;) | 07:57 |
| popey | dammit, just as I said that someone walked in :D | 07:58 |
| MooDoo | popey: give them an hour off ;) | 08:04 |

| MooDoo | morning chap | 08:35 |
| SuperMatt | Happy "oh crap, it's that day again" day | 08:35 |
| MooDoo | :S | 08:37 |
| * dwatkins wondered for a moment why SuperMatt doesn't like Fridays, then saw the date | 08:43 | |
| dwatkins | My plans this evening consist of playing Kerbal Space Program with a friend and drinking wine with my boss. | 08:43 |
| MooDoo | dwatkins: it's friday that is all | 08:44 |
| dwatkins | indeed, when she texted me yesterday, it didn't even occur to me that it was valentine's day when I replied saying "yes, I'll be glad to pop round, I have no plans" | 08:44 |

| bigcalm | JamesTait: Kebab? | 09:26 |
| JamesTait | bigcalm, ooh, you know how to spoil me. :-P | 09:27 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:28 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: You should add a little more sincerity when you are being that sarcastic | 09:30 |
| dwatkins | it's kebab day? | 09:39 |
| MartijnVdS | it is. | 09:41 |
| JamesTait | I'm hoping it Green & Black's Chocolate Day. | 09:41 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, where's my card? | 09:41 |
| * popey notes davmor2 looks like a cylon with his headphones on | 09:42 | |
| davmor2 | popey: I was going for cyberman | 09:42 |
| popey | \o/ | 09:42 |
| popey | thats it | 09:42 |
| popey | used wrong word | 09:42 |

| davmor2 | awilkins: http://ubuntuone.com/0d86T5PnJ3LPhsf3mH5j4l like this? | 09:51 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: Always | 09:51 |

| MooDoo | dwatkins: OMG I can never ever unsee that :p | 09:54 |
| dwatkins | What did I do? | 09:54 |
| MooDoo | dwatkins: well I assume that was you ;) lol | 09:54 |
| * dwatkins is confused | 09:55 | |
| MooDoo | dwatkins: no I'm an arse, it wasn't you I was supposed to reply to it was awilkins ;) lol | 09:55 |
| MooDoo | sorry *blush* | 09:55 |
| dwatkins | no worries, our names are similar | 09:55 |
| awilkins | It's a bad camera | 09:56 |
| awilkins | Obviously this is the ONLY reason for your revulsion. Terrible grainy pixels. | 09:56 |
| MartijnVdS | I think it was shopped | 09:57 |
| MartijnVdS | because of those pixels | 09:57 |
| kvarley | "RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /?view=$1 [L]" throws apache into error 500, why? | 10:03 |
| MartijnVdS | kvarley: it'll probably tell you in error.log | 10:07 |
| MartijnVdS | kvarley: either mod_rewrite isn't enabled, or the thing that processes the /?view= URL doesn't like it | 10:07 |
| kvarley | MartijnVdS: Just a bad rule I think | 10:12 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: is it your BUFFDAY? | 10:13 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, I was expecting a mushy, luvvy-duvvy card from you, that I could post on Facebook for MooDoo to see. | 10:15 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I only send those to czajkowski so she doesn't stab me so often you note how it doesn't work must be the poem I put inside | 10:16 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, well, yeah - just because 'poo' rhymes with 'blue' doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it. ;) | 10:17 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I'm more classy than that, Roses are Red, Violets are blue, the smell of the bogs, reminds me of you :) | 10:17 |
| JamesTait | How could anyone resist? | 10:18 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: exactly I've no idea why I was never swamped with cards | 10:18 |
| MooDoo | valentime schamlentine | 10:21 |

| davmor2 | czajkowski: What? | 10:25 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: what did you do to those birds to make then hate your car so much | 10:28 |

| bigcalm | davmor2: I'm pleased (sort of) to say that mine wasn't the only car struck. It's quite a messy street now | 10:32 |
| bigcalm | I might find out if I can use a car wash this weekend | 10:32 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: oh so your neighbours hate you too now for annoying the birds ;) | 10:32 |
| bigcalm | :P | 10:32 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: did you watch the video I posted? | 10:32 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: U+1F339 or u"\U0001F339" just for you | 10:33 |
| awilkins | *sigh* Empathy works perfectly for our Cisco Jabber service but Eclipse Communications Framework hates it | 10:33 |

| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: but it looks nice | 11:17 |
| MooDoo | MartijnVdS: works fine as well :D | 11:17 |
| MooDoo | connected to 5ghz seems zippy | 11:17 |
| MartijnVdS | it should be! 802.11ac is great (especially if nobody else in the area is using it, and you can use a full 160MHz wide channel) | 11:22 |
| MartijnVdS | but I guess you're "only" on n? | 11:23 |

| SuperMatt | oh. systemd | 13:08 |
| diddledan | I like upstart because I've used it - haven't tried anything with systemd yet | 13:09 |
| SuperMatt | My biggest objections to systemd are purely cosmetic | 13:12 |
| SuperMatt | systemctl is a long command which is too similar to sysctl | 13:12 |
| davmor2 | MartijnVdS: if it make you feel better in 3 year 22 year olds will be half my age | 13:12 |
| SuperMatt | and the ordering of the syntax is a ballach | 13:12 |
| SuperMatt | systemctl stop service | 13:12 |
| SuperMatt | up arrow. left arrow a few times. delete delete. art | 13:12 |
| jussi | systemd is way too big and complicated for mobile IMHO. (sadly others dont feel this way) | 13:13 |
| SuperMatt | you might be right | 13:13 |
| SuperMatt | but I don't know enough about how it really fits in to the system to know if it will be good enough or not | 13:14 |
| SuperMatt | though I have a feeling that because it's monolithic, incorporating so much more stuff, that it may use more resources, which isn't good for mobile | 13:14 |

| Laney | zzz | 13:59 |

| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: Isn't Thunderbird a dead project these days? | 14:06 |
| * TwistedLucidity is sorry, catching up | 14:06 | |
| dwatkins | it seems pretty alive to me, but perhaps it is | 14:07 |
| TwistedLucidity | I am pretty sure Mozilla said all dev was stopped and that we'd only get security fixes or something. | 14:08 |
| awilkins | Last release was 10 days ago | 14:08 |
| dwatkins | ah ok, that must have been quite recently | 14:08 |
| awilkins | Someone not got the memo | 14:08 |
| dwatkins | perhaps it was just a security fix | 14:08 |
| awilkins | But yes, that was last year that was announced | 14:08 |
| awilkins | But even so | 14:08 |
| awilkins | I don't much like it for accessing GMail | 14:08 |
| awilkins | Which I suspect is what kills it for many people | 14:08 |
| jussi | I use kmail to be honest :D | 14:09 |
| bashrc | Yes I read something about Thunderbird like that a while ago | 14:09 |
| awilkins | It's not grokked the "labels" model, it's still stuck on Folders | 14:09 |
| awilkins | Hence when you search you get multiple copies of everything | 14:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: I know there's new releases for secuirty etc; but I didn't think there was active development. Maybe I'm worng, of course | 14:09 |
| bashrc | but Thunderbird is still great. I use it often | 14:09 |

| davmor2 | As I understand it. Mozilla didn't drop thunderbird they just said they were stopping developing it to concentrate efforts on for firefox os now that is done they have picked up thunderbird again I could be wrong though | 14:12 |
| MartijnVdS | bashrc: animated labels? which icons? (my buttons have text) | 14:12 |
| jussi | when you say "its a miracle" next thing that always pops into my mind is "a man doesnt just vanish like a fart into the wind" (double points if you know which movie...) | 14:12 |
| bashrc | in the early days gmail was simple, like the web search, very minimalist | 14:12 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: Which ODF though? I thought MS's variant wasn't fully compatible with LibreOffice. | 14:12 |
| TwistedLucidity | jussi: I get no points | 14:12 |
| MartijnVdS | TwistedLucidity: probably the ISO variant, if they're sane | 14:13 |
| awilkins | http://standards.data.gov.uk/proposal/sharing-collaborating-government-documents | 14:13 |
| MartijnVdS | TwistedLucidity: also, PDF/A for archival :) | 14:13 |
| awilkins | "Users are not required to buy new software to submit or work with government information" - therefore, LibreOffice | 14:13 |
| TwistedLucidity | MartijnVdS: I thought the problem stemmed from the standard being a bit wooly about some things. So MS implemented in a way that was incompatible with everyone else. | 14:13 |
| jussi | TwistedLucidity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FmJAbdAg - about 20 seconds in... | 14:13 |
| MartijnVdS | TwistedLucidity: they've fixed most bugs I think | 14:14 |
| TwistedLucidity | I didn't think is was a bug - I thought it was a deliberate tactic | 14:14 |
| dwatkins | sounds like IE6 | 14:15 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: As MS Word will export to MS's ODF variant; no new software is required. It would surpise me (in a good way) if the civil service/government switch to LibreOffice. But as they will no doubt have various integrations that are MS-only. That'll take time. | 14:17 |
| TwistedLucidity | Still, going with some ODF variant is a good start | 14:17 |
| awilkins | TwistedLucidity, Yeah - we need an Office of Office Software | 14:17 |
| awilkins | TwistedLucidity, Just a fraction of what we spend yearly on MS Office licenses would make the OpenDocument Foundation ecstatically happy if we spent it on development | 14:18 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: The Office of the Minister of Office; chair of the Office Committe on Office. | 14:18 |
| TwistedLucidity | This is what I was thinking of https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/odf-office (No real detail, sorry). Maybe the situation has been improved now. | 14:21 |
| TwistedLucidity | There we go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_software#Microsoft_Office_2007_SP2_support_controversy | 14:23 |
| awilkins | Yeah, opening ODS sheets in Excel pretty much breaks them horribly | 14:23 |
| awilkins | And the formatting is crap | 14:23 |
| awilkins | Of course, part of that is the stupid focus on formatting and not document structure | 14:23 |
| diddledan | formatting in wordprocessing docs - the first thing they teach you in school is actually not anything to do with proper document construction but "WHEEE BOLD" | 14:25 |
| awilkins | I want to make all my users start writing their docs in Markdown | 14:26 |
| jussi | latex!!! :P | 14:26 |
| awilkins | Only I discovered that Markdown has no tables except HTML | 14:26 |
| bashrc | isn't org-mode a better option? | 14:26 |
| bashrc | i.e. brain-dead simple | 14:26 |
| awilkins | Anything that Pandoc understands | 14:26 |
| awilkins | But has to be a good academic book format | 14:27 |
| awilkins | Has to support references, footnotes, etc | 14:27 |
| bashrc | I think org-mode does support those | 14:27 |
| diddledan | for some reason people* don't understand that headings aren't a formatting feature (especially so when it comes to webpages) [* including colleagues] | 14:27 |
| diddledan | I hate having to trawl through html that someone else created when asked to fix accessibility - practically every error is related to headings | 14:29 |
| dwatkins | ---=== under construction ===--- | 14:30 |
| diddledan | e.g. the page begins with an h3 >.< | 14:30 |
| diddledan | the reason it was an h3 was because "it had the style I wanted" | 14:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | Thing is, trying to get people to not fuss over the looks is hard. Just get the info down, make it clear, tag it correctly (with whatever mark-up/down is being used) and let the appearance take care of itself | 15:04 |
| diddledan | http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/02/10/how-google-used-motorola-to-smack-down-samsung-twice/ | 15:14 |
| diddledan | funny | 15:14 |
| awilkins | TwistedLucidity, Yeah, one of my primary gripes with helping my wife with her academic writings was that she'd contantly stress over the formatting, the page breaks, everthing, right the way through | 15:21 |
| awilkins | Must add so much time to the document construction | 15:21 |
| TwistedLucidity | It's easy to get sucked into though, give one the illusion of control | 15:22 |

| foobarry | bitcoins are "cheap" nowadays | 16:03 |
| foobarry | $300 instead of $900 | 16:04 |
| ali12341 | good luck actually buying those ones | 16:07 |
| foobarry | is mgt gox shut then? | 16:10 |
| ali12341 | you can't withdraw bitcoins and it takes several weeks to withdraw fiat, so yes effectively | 16:10 |
| ali12341 | that's why the price there is the way it is | 16:10 |
| ali12341 | seems like gox lost all their customer's bitcoins to a noob mistake | 16:11 |
| diddledan | binary horse staple? | 16:12 |
| ali12341 | no, *that* noob mistake hit months ago | 16:12 |
| diddledan | or similar | 16:12 |
| ali12341 | someone paid a few million dust transactions into that wallet and then everyone tried to import it into their gox account | 16:12 |
| ali12341 | result: gox massively ddos'ed the network | 16:12 |
| ali12341 | gox is just one disaster after another | 16:13 |
| neuro | you know what the MtG bit of MtGox stands for, don't you? | 16:18 |
| ali12341 | of course i do | 16:19 |
| neuro | Magic the Gathering | 16:19 |
| ali12341 | someone reminds me nearly every day | 16:19 |
| neuro | a currency exchange formed from a site supporting a card game | 16:19 |
| neuro | yikes | 16:19 |
| ali12341 | the thing is though, the guy who originally set up a MtG exchange no longer owns it | 16:19 |
| ali12341 | he wisely sold it to someone else | 16:20 |
| ali12341 | it was originally founded by one of the developers of edonkey | 16:21 |
| ali12341 | he's now making a new exchange | 16:22 |
| ali12341 | meanwhile the people who bought gox have run it into the ground | 16:22 |
| neuro | regardless, makes me feel glad i have steered clear of bitcoin | 16:24 |
| popey | edonkey | 16:24 |
| popey | that brings back memories | 16:25 |
| popey | edonkey and overnet... | 16:25 |

| neuro | i've forgotten what app i used to download music back in 2000/2001 | 16:26 |
| ali12341 | ftp probably | 16:26 |
| neuro | nope | 16:26 |
| neuro | was p2p | 16:26 |
| ali12341 | well 2000 would have been napster | 16:26 |
| neuro | i ran it over dialup | 16:26 |
| neuro | that was painful | 16:26 |
| neuro | nope, it wasn't napster | 16:26 |
| ali12341 | before that it was ftp sites and clicking on adverts to get the login | 16:26 |
| ali12341 | and before that there was no music on the internet except midi | 16:27 |
| neuro | before 2000? | 16:27 |
| neuro | hahahahahaha | 16:27 |
| neuro | you're funny | 16:27 |
| ali12341 | no, before about 1997 | 16:27 |
| neuro | you're forgetting about ay, sid, mod ... | 16:28 |
| ali12341 | yeah, mod files | 16:28 |
| neuro | aaaaah audiogalaxy, that was it | 16:28 |
| awilkins | I used to buy things from that dodgy Russian thing that sold audio files priced by the MB | 16:29 |
| neuro | jings, that's even worse than just copying/infringing :) | 16:30 |
| awilkins | Despite the dodginess, they had the right business model | 16:30 |
| awilkins | * Whatever format the customer wants, the customer gets | 16:30 |
| foobarry | mp3free or something | 16:30 |
| awilkins | * Charge a sensible price | 16:30 |
| awilkins | I was downloading things in OGG6 | 16:30 |
| foobarry | awilkins: i don't think the musicians got many pennys from it | 16:30 |
| neuro | if any | 16:31 |
| awilkins | foobarry, They allegedly offered to pay the royalties owed but the MPAA refused in case it looked like it was a legitimate business model | 16:31 |
| neuro | awilkins: allofmp3? | 16:32 |
| awilkins | That was the one | 16:32 |
| neuro | wow | 16:33 |
| neuro | the RIAA filed a lawsuit against them in 2006 | 16:33 |
| neuro | claiming infringement awards equal to $150,000 for each song downloaded between June and October 2006 | 16:33 |
| neuro | 11 million of them | 16:33 |
| neuro | the lawsuit was seeking $1.65tn damages, more than Russia's GDP | 16:34 |
| foobarry | back from a day at the RAF museum with my boy | 16:34 |

| foobarry | north circ was very wet | 16:35 |
| neuro | anything nice on static? | 16:35 |
| awilkins | I wonder if they just gave up to cut their losses... all $1.65T of them.. | 16:35 |
| foobarry | huh | 16:35 |
| foobarry | everything! | 16:35 |

| foobarry | hard to get nice pics | 16:37 |
| neuro | that thing is a beast | 16:37 |
| foobarry | i'm more a WWII and WWI guy | 16:37 |
| foobarry | but i appreciate the vuilcan and lightning | 16:37 |
| neuro | i was a jet kid | 16:38 |
| neuro | plus my late uncle worked in the RAF servicing lightnings | 16:38 |

| neuro | i have a long weekend ahead of me | 16:49 |
| mappps | i watched the first ep..double ep this morning just watching e3 now..decent imo | 16:50 |

| neuro | awww | 16:54 |
| foobarry | he's angrily shouting his lungs | 16:54 |
| foobarry | blamed me for not telling him about the slope | 16:55 |
| awilkins | mappps, The old UK House of Cards is also very good | 16:55 |
| awilkins | mappps, The new one is great, and has those polished modern production values | 16:55 |
| diddledan | foobarry: to be fair the slope is pretty invisible :-p | 16:55 |
| awilkins | But Iain Richardson is The Man | 16:55 |

| MartijnVdS | \o | 20:57 |
| MooDoo | going to break my laptop and upgrade to trusty :D | 20:59 |
| MartijnVdS | good luck! | 21:00 |
| MooDoo | It's upgrading now, If i'm back after a reboot it's ok lol | 21:00 |

| MartijnVdS | where's that? | 21:21 |
| MooDoo | well done diddledan | 21:21 |
| mappps | heh SuperEngineer wanted to go before 11/12 tonight really | 21:23 |
| mappps | cool | 21:23 |
| foobarry | MartijnVdS: raf museum, hendon | 21:23 |
| foobarry | its in the hall that shuts at 12pm | 21:23 |
| MartijnVdS | Cool! | 21:24 |
| foobarry | a great day out | 21:24 |
| foobarry | except low light | 21:25 |
| mappps | valentines day out? | 21:26 |
| mappps | :D | 21:26 |
| mappps | heh | 21:26 |
| foobarry | took my boy out, so in effect, gave the wife some free time | 21:26 |
| foobarry | which is a great gift to a housewife | 21:27 |
| foobarry | she went to knitting club at the cafe | 21:27 |
| diddledan | shauno: you use os x - have you ever tried getting it to time machine onto a freenas box? | 21:27 |
| mappps | heh | 21:27 |
| foobarry | hugin does a good job of stitching IMO | 21:28 |
| MooDoo | what's freenas like? thinking about building a box | 21:28 |
| MartijnVdS | it's like FreeBSD | 21:28 |
| MartijnVdS | I'd just install Ubuntu instead ;) | 21:29 |
| MooDoo | thought it moved to debian? | 21:29 |
| foobarry | tried openfiler? | 21:29 |
| mappps | openfiler? | 21:29 |
| MooDoo | not tried any nas apart from the netgear i use | 21:29 |
| foobarry | openfilter does iscsi etc if you're into that sort of stuff | 21:29 |
| foobarry | *filer | 21:29 |
| MartijnVdS | so does an ubutnu install | 21:30 |
| MartijnVdS | so does a SYnology NAS, or a QNAP | 21:30 |
| MooDoo | I like the sound of a synology box | 21:30 |
| MartijnVdS | (it's just a package/set of packages) | 21:30 |
| foobarry | synology are nice | 21:32 |
| MartijnVdS | you need to watch updates though | 21:32 |
| MartijnVdS | there'sa a remote exploit going around that turns them in to bitcoin miners | 21:32 |
| MartijnVdS | unless you have the latest firmware | 21:32 |
| MooDoo | freenas or the synology? | 21:33 |
| diddledan | speaky of freenas - just got an email from them | 21:35 |
| MooDoo | what you broke? ;) | 21:35 |
| diddledan | they're promoting a new all-in-one unit called the "freenas mini" | 21:35 |
| foobarry | adblock crashes and first ad contains skimpy lady in lingerie | 21:53 |
| foobarry | thanks internet, not necessary | 21:53 |
| daftykins | how is that ever not necessary 0o | 22:00 |
| diddledan | surely it's a "lady in skimpy lingerie" rather than "skimpy lady in lingerie"? the former refers to the underwear revealing alot, the latter refers to the woman being miserly with her money | 22:02 |
| daftykins | does it 0o | 22:03 |
| sdfsdfsgfsdfs | hi, does someone know how to call in English the electric motor which does not spin, but moves back and forth instead? | 22:32 |
| MooDoo | Electric Linear actuator? | 22:34 |
| diddledan | linear motor | 22:35 |
| MooDoo | knew it was something like that lol | 22:36 |
| diddledan | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor | 22:36 |
| mappps | hm | 22:36 |
| sdfsdfsgfsdfs | thanks people!! | 22:45 |
| diddledan | ooh, just had a brownout | 22:54 |
| MooDoo | diddledan: they suck, power cut for us the other day :( | 22:54 |
| diddledan | bout 150ms? | 22:54 |
| diddledan | just enough to cause the light to flicker and my audio system to pop but all the puters stayed on | 22:55 |
| diddledan | anod another | 22:55 |
| diddledan | and* | 22:55 |
| diddledan | but to be fair to my puters I do have a lot of my stuff wired into a UPS | 22:56 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure whether it's an active or passive though | 22:57 |
