[00:32] pesky booking prices :< [00:34] yea its like if i could just TRY and go from the stadium to euston AND IF i make it get a ticket thatd be fine [00:34] but it be like 80+ [00:34] if i book in advance 37 quid [00:38] find a park bench ;) === map is now known as Guest52593 [00:53] last walking dead tonight! [01:02] hm i suck at anything design related [01:02] just always feels like a stuggle:) [01:02] struggle [01:12] gee [01:12] z [01:12] I just put links on the page, functional html [01:13] i love all the scam spam [01:13] natwest credit card account password reset -- dont have a natwest ac..but anyway who would be tricked..hover ove the link [01:13] http://www.petermacfarlane.info/n.html [01:13] lol === MonsterKiller_ is now known as MonsterKiller === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [01:13] yeah, it surprises me they still bother, considering most spam filters will stop that sort of thing [01:14] yep [01:14] gmail's brilliant [01:14] but in all honesty even without gmail..hover over the link..copy it whatever its easy to defeat/avoid [01:14] .petermacfarlane.info ropey looking website..but cant tell if its just a bogus website or thats a real firm with a crap site [01:14] yep, but some people don't know to do that [01:15] I got my dad to pipe all his mail through gmail and forward it to his ISP account, so gmail filters out the spam [01:15] my friend always claims he wants to learn more yada yada yada [01:15] so i instaled xubuntu on his real old machine..and got a new gfx card for it like a p3 maybe or p4 whatever [01:15] and he hasnt touched it in a year [01:16] nice [01:16] kinda irritating [01:16] I looked at my neighbor's PC, it was riddled with malware. I reset Chrome, and it was fine. [01:16] like when im telling him something say 'uhh check your router config' if i say go to 127.0.0.1 and laugh he doesnt get it [01:17] I don't get the joke [01:17] and yea its not madly funny [01:17] but still [01:17] you know that one that online banking always says to install? Trusteer Rapport - i've seen people's machines taken over *because* of using that before ;x [01:17] well dwatkins go to 127.0.0.1 to get to your router config [01:17] i was more mocking him i guess [01:17] daftykins: that's crazy [01:18] oh right, sorry [01:18] as he doesnt realise 127.0.0.1=localhost [01:18] :P [01:18] got confused between 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 [01:18] i could tell him to try it for google if dns was down and he'd believe me [01:18] lol [01:18] I often run a local webserver. [01:18] when he had problems accessing websites he phoned me and has no idea why..said to him ..just try google dns :) [01:18] Then again, I also often see customers who have added lines to /etc/hosts to get around licensing stuff [01:19] =] [01:19] there's also opendns, it does family-safe filtering [01:19] yea [01:19] ive got bind installed on my machine [01:19] not configured it properly [01:19] i have so many things im doing/half doing:) [01:19] I use dnsmasq [01:21] whats that do [01:23] hmm [01:23] userdirs arent working on my apache [01:24] it does dns and dhcp on my router [01:24] and cant access it externally [01:24] http://frogs.zapto.org [01:24] isnt working is it? [01:24] no response [01:25] but https is [01:25] argh [01:25] stupid zentayl done this [01:25] changed the port fowarding? [01:25] nope [01:25] since i installed zentyal then tried to remove it all went wrong [01:26] oh my [01:26] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo9W-5MbK00 [01:26] 19:12 [01:27] the best song ever ..brings back fond memories (only 3ys ago ok) [01:29] dwatkins: adding things to hosts file to avoid licensing? as in they're blocking stuff phoning home? [01:38] hmm bit confused by bind [01:39] either of you familiar with it? [01:39] daftykins: yep [01:42] i configured some zone files in uni time [01:42] but i think i got stuff wrong [01:42] :D [01:43] i think you might have bitten off more than you can chew if you're giving that a whirl at home D: [01:43] heh [01:43] ha [01:54] i was just messing with it daftykins [01:54] setting up alocal caching server [01:54] no need really lol [01:54] argh pesky bt infinity ads..mocking me [01:54] i cant get it..but the house i moved from 3 years ago (1/2 mile away CAN NOW) [01:54] when i was there most i could get was this rubbish 6mbit [05:48] hola [06:51] morning mapps sorry miles away then [06:55] morning [06:56] moning [07:11] anyone know which tz Stuart Langridge resides in? [07:12] jussi: usually, UK, I believe. [07:12] hrm, I wonder where he is then :/ === map is now known as Guest22862 [07:55] wow, making the applications scope the default? really? why did this take so long? [07:56] ali1234: link? [07:56] omgubuntu.co.uk [07:57] i'm reminded of that old quote... to paraphrase: you can always count on ubuntu to do the right thing, after trying everything else. [07:57] I still don't understand what the difference between a lens and a scope is. [07:57] a scope is a group of lenses [07:58] it might be the other way around [07:58] but say you have a "news" scope [07:58] I removed a ton of scopes earlier [07:59] Never use the dash anyway, other than the "run dialog" bit of it (Alt+F2) [07:59] it will search the bbc news lens, the cnn lens, etc [07:59] but I have a web browser open.. if I want news I'll use that! [07:59] you don't need to tell me, i've been saying that since unity was released [07:59] well, since they added scopes to it [08:00] Morning all [08:00] the home scope is the worst though, because it searches everything [08:00] it is entirely possible to have more lenses than there is room for icons on the dash [08:01] which makes the home scope utterly useless since it just blasts you with one of everything [08:56] Good morning all; happy Monday, and happy Bunsen Burner Day! :-D [08:57] eeeep! [08:57] meeep? [09:01] morning boys and girls. [09:03] Bunsen Burner Day.... [09:03] :) [09:04] jussi: I think JamesTait just makes these up as he goes along, who would you trust near a bunsen burner on a Monday! [09:05] davmor2: maybe thats the point of it... :P [09:05] * jussi lights a fire under JamesTait [09:06] blue flame or yellow flame? [09:06] * JamesTait is already on a fast boil this morning. [09:07] bunsen burners were the first amazing thing i learned in secondary school [09:11] the most fun I had in secondary school science class went either to "Dirty harry" or sodium in puddles on a wet day.... :D [09:16] oh, and Monday morning funnies for you all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K8_jgiNqUc [09:17] jussi: your fwiend? [09:17] MartijnVdS: Do you find somefing funny when I say my fwiends name....... Biggus Dickus!? [09:47] Good morning peeps :) [09:50] yo [09:52] Who'd have thought chosing a new car would be so difficult [09:54] blue one! [09:55] Heh, colour isn't high up the list of requirement, as long as its not white [09:55] colour has influence over likelihood of being in a crash [09:55] why do so many people choose tarmac grey? [09:56] This is tempting http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403262816840/sort/default/usedcars/model/octavia/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/postcode/wa76ls/quicksearch/true/page/3/make/skoda/radius/20?logcode=p [09:56] and then don't turn on their lights in the rain and drive fast? [09:57] foobarry: Thats perhaps why so many cars now seem to have automatic lights [09:58] mercedes don't even come with indicators :( [09:58] I thought that was BMW's [09:58] or Range Rovers [09:58] i haven't had to turn on my lights for 13 years [09:58] bmw/audi/ercedes [09:59] foobarry, wrong. all mercedes come with indicators in the base spec. but the £3000 optional enhancement pack removes them. and they've never sold a merc without all the overpriced addons [09:59] the only time i need to turn my lights on is after a service. === shauno_ is now known as shauno [10:02] All I want is an EState car, cruise control, decent caravan towing ability, good normal fuel consumption and normal tax bracket, ended up with about 8 different options [10:02] i have that [10:02] focus estate tdci [10:03] i never used the cruise control, was too scared [10:03] DJones: 407 sw [10:03] My wife doesn't let me use the cruise control, so I use the speed limiter instead [10:03] foobarry: Been warned off the focus by a local mechanic [10:03] any reason? [10:04] foobarry: Repair costs, said some of the Fords (c-max, mondeo, focus) can cost £1,000 to have a clutch replaced [10:04] bigcalm: Thats one I'm thinking about, how do you find it [10:05] DJones: I've had 2 x 406 and 1 x 407. Love them all [10:05] DJones: davmor2 also has a 407 sw [10:06] DJones: it can get expensive if you get lots of electrical optional extras and some go wrong [10:06] bigcalm: When I was getting my last car I tried a 407 SW and there was something that didn't feel right, but I'm thinking about having another go with one [10:07] Nice and quiet, smooth ride, good acceleration, good fuel consumption [10:08] Tyers are expensive though as they are classed as "sports" [10:08] bigcalm: Something like this may be an option http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403272848055/sort/default/usedcars/make/peugeot/price-from/4500/body-type/estate/model/407/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/price-to/9500/page/1/radius/25/postcode/wa76ls?logcode=p [10:09] TYres won't be a problem working at a tyre fitters & getting free tyres [10:09] Morning all [10:09] DJones: damn you :P [10:10] Morning davmor2 [10:10] bigcalm, DJones: I do indeed and I've had a 406 and a 306 sw they are so comfortable on long and short hauls :) [10:11] bigcalm: ha mine weren't [10:11] davmor2: bigcalm Thanks for the recommendations anyway, much prefer that to anonymous reviews on wesbites [10:19] DJones: there are 3 common faults on the 407, the joint on the front wheels due to turning and powering (just wear and tear they just need replacing), the cambelt if you are buying a second hand one just get it replaced it's way way way cheaper, rear wiper arm can seize on earlier models due to steel pin in an aluminium housing [10:19] 407 sw that is [10:19] !info ruby [10:19] ruby (source: ruby-defaults): Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby (default version). In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.9.3 (saucy), package size 4 kB, installed size 31 kB [10:20] How does one find out what version a package will be in 14.04? [10:21] bigcalm: surely this is all you need to know about ruby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qObzgUfCl28 [10:26] bigcalm: dpkg -l | grep , apt-cache policy [10:26] http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ruby [10:26] I googled [10:26] bigcalm: Open software-center and type in the name [10:27] bigcalm: :P [10:27] bigcalm: out of interest why didn't you do that before asking here :P [10:28] davmor2: I wondered if there was a way of getting lubotu3 to inform me [10:32] davmor2: Cheers [10:34] popey, do you know what the likelihood of that google-chrome/lightdm guest session bug being fixed for 14.04 final? [10:35] DJones: by the way as a tip I aways give change the cambelt, you don't know how the previous driver drove but you can guarantee it wasn't the same as in the test environment that sets the 120,000 miles :) It's pretty cheap to get done and can save you a fortune [10:35] directhex: higher if someone provides a patch. [10:36] i couldn't get it to work, but i don't understand apparmour [10:36] oh ☹ [10:36] davmor2: Thats true [10:36] popey, just substituting paths didn't seem to do it, must be more to it [10:37] I need to book my car in for a replacement front nearside ball joint and front tyers [10:38] *grumble* [10:38] i'm in a bloody costa because car is in for service/mot [10:38] directhex: were there more apparmor denies in dmesg? [10:38] even after adding the additional paths [10:38] "bloody costa" sounds like a tarantino scene :/ [10:38] popey, i'd need to check, the box i was working on is in cambridge so it'll have to wait until tomorrow [10:39] I'll test here a bit later when I have some time. [10:40] sorry. not many test NUCs here in costa [10:40] i also need to test daniels' lowdpi patch to fix OMGCRAZYHUGE gnome shell on our projector [10:40] xrandr thinks the projector is 16mmx9mm, so detects it as around 3600DPI, so shell does crazy UI scaling [10:41] "Cats are awesome ᵔᴥᵔ" - that's clearly an otter, not a cat [10:41] DJones: See bigcalm's statement about ball joint for proof of my earlier statement :D [10:42] how big does a gnome have to be before it's just a statue? [10:43] shauno, depends on whether it has a fishing rod and pointy hat [10:44] http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/24000/Fishing-Statue-of-Liberty--24259.jpg :) [10:45] Cute :) [10:45] sorry, this is how I procrastinate :/ I'll be quiet [10:45] directhex: how dare you challenge my cat! [10:46] otter. [10:46] it's a cute otter! [10:46] directhex: you are clearly wrong it's a teddy bear [10:48] it's clearly shellington sea otter, from the octonauts [10:50] no. its a cat. [10:50] C-A-T [10:50] cat [10:50] jussi: Teddy Bear [10:50] pffft [10:50] T-E-D-D-Y B-E-A-R [10:50] teddy bear [10:50] anyway, anyone seen aquarius recently? [10:51] He's been hiding in Brum I think [10:51] jussi: He moved to brum and has been living in a bar by the sound of it :) [10:51] davmor2: didnt he recently get a job? [10:52] jussi: there have been some interesting tweets from him [10:52] jussi: no idea he was working for himself === map is now known as Guest3880 [11:01] My SGS3 finally got updated to Android 4.3. Everything is ever so slightly different. Most strange [11:01] bigcalm: such strange. very difference. [11:01] Meme much argh [11:02] i lol'd [11:04] bigcalm: in kitkat they got rid of SMS it's all in hangouts you think 4.3 is different :P [11:04] Joy [11:04] davmor2: I got lazy and just called him :) [11:05] so what if you don't use gapps? [11:05] bigcalm: though that is on the nexus 5 [11:05] can you no longer to sms? [11:05] So my t-mobile contract is up in May. What should my next Android handset be? [11:05] popey: you can still SMS [11:05] popey: it's all in the Hangouts app [11:05] popey: there is still the option to use the old app [11:05] together with Google's hangoutchat stuff [11:05] I still do [11:05] ahh [11:05] jussi: I don't have that option on Nexus 5 I think [11:05] popey: I think you can manually re-enable sms via a hidden menu somewhere [11:05] MartijnVdS: oh right? on my samsung you get to choose... [11:06] I keep resisting going to the hangouts appt [11:06] Hangouts is so amazign though [11:06] if only more people used it :| [11:06] MartijnVdS: Ive not seen any advantages yet [11:06] I distrust it. It looks like google want to break both XMMP and SMS to no particular end [11:07] MartijnVdS, popey: https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/3441321?hl=en-GB [11:07] If you have the Hangouts app on Android 4.0 and higher, you can send and receive text messages (SMS and MMS), photos and videos. Remember, your text message rates through your mobile operator still apply. [11:07] You can send and receive text and multimedia messages in the Hangouts app without being signed in. But if you want to send Hangouts messages or make video calls, you'll need to sign in to a Google account. [11:07] blah, why did it do that? [11:08] haha [11:08] :D [11:08] anyway, I *like* the hangouts app for SMS+Hangouts, I don't want to get rid of it :) [11:08] weirdo [11:15] * jussi got a free phone today :) === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:13] My Clark Kent glasses have arrived. [12:19] Jealous [12:20] That said, my glasses are rimless. I'd be confused by the black lines [12:20] They're effectively just UV filters. [12:20] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0063CZWRU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 [12:21] :-| [12:21] you wear them for fun? [12:21] no enlargement/focusing going on? [12:21] yes; no [12:21] I cannot imagine why people would wear glasses for fun.... [12:21] Me either [12:22] well, actually I got them so I can have the fan on my desk switched on without my eyes drying out [12:22] Though I do like wearing mine and seeing people wear glasses. [12:22] But unless they are doing a corrective operation, I feel like they are mocking those who _need_ glasses [12:23] hmm, that had not occurred to me [12:23] then again, I used to need glasses [12:23] If you have a need, then that's cool :) [12:23] I wear a pair of +1D reading glasses in a preventative capacity sometimes [12:23] I think I'm 2.5 diopters short-sighted [12:24] at least I was once [12:24] i have no idea [12:24] I get a little shortsighted if I read close-to for long periods ; +1 lenses move that focal point to infinity which has the same effect as a long walk outside but I can keep working... [12:26] Plus I think the fact that it acts like a pair of blinders (can't focus on the periphery and the working field simultaneously anymore) means I focus better [12:27] yeah, I do get easily distracted by things in my peripheral vision [12:28] I would move to a window seat if there was one, as then I wouldn't have people walking past all the time [12:30] I cant see things in the distance - I love having 30day contact lenses === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:09] I've just got new glasses, big change in the prescription this time and going from distance to reading range is driving me mad [13:26] hmmm... latest post from Mark Shuttleworth talks all about IAAS. I fired IAAS into search & found 2 main choices... http://readwrite.com/2013/05/08/explained-saas-iaas-paas-infographic & http://www.iaasworld.org/joomla/ ... [13:26] Dear Mark, perhaps not using pure abbreviation all the time would be helpful ;) [13:27] I = Infrastructure [13:27] yup [13:27] I Am A Shuttleworth [13:28] my brain guessed that one - just found it funny trhat the other choice was "less than useful" ;) [13:28] *that [13:29] I Am A Sausage [13:29] I AM ASTRONAUT SUCKERS! [13:30] cool! [13:37] * SuperEngineer used the astronaut bit as the final clincher in convincing someone to use Ubuntu [13:38] You wanna use software from Skynet or you wanna use software from an an astronaut? :D [13:39] They use Linux on the ISS, don't they? [13:41] I think they do - & a pet robot [which is probably running some sort of ditto] [13:42] "we are go for main engine start" ... "Wait! My laptop is installing Windows updates!" [13:42] Unlikely, ISS would be using XP, which won't gte any more updates soon : [13:42] :P [13:43] The horror... [13:43] they recently migrated from windows to linux for many of their laptops [13:43] someone brought a virus on board a while back [13:43] that's not something you'd want [13:43] longest travelled computer virus I'd imagine [13:43] you wouldn't want to claim that accolade tho [13:44] given that they have internet access, it's only a matter of time before that is commonplace if they were to continue using Windows. [13:45] So all those periods spent by thew early astronauts in isolation chambers were needed. Yikes, there are viruses in space [who'd have guseed] [13:47] If a Windows virus survives re-entry.... the horror! [13:48] If a Linux virus survives re-entry... see, told you our viruses are better than your viruses ;) [13:53] they only have internet access for a fraction of the day and it's really slow apparently === julianfoad_ is now known as julianfoad [13:54] the internet access is deliverd by post? [13:54] http://www.tested.com/science/space/449539-how-fast-isss-internet-and-other-space-questions-answered/ [13:55] "The Internet connection uses the Ku-band, which delivers throughput around 10Mbit/sec down and 3Mbit/sec up from the station--roughly equivalent to a home Internet connection." [13:55] "The latency will undoubtedly be worse though, as the signal has to make a couple of round trips to geosynchronous orbit and back." [13:58] hmmm... if only someone invent an autonomous flying machine to catch internet signals - maybe even give it a boring name like, oh, let me think... "drone". ;) [14:19] * SuperEngineer is planning favourite food SEBC [sausage, eggs, beans & chips] tonight - thinking of stepping the overclocking back up - to save me cooking the eggs on the cooker ;) [14:31] * SuperEngineer is now a happy bunny http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/31/world/asia/japan-whale-hunt/ === bashrc_ is now known as bashrc [14:37] * awilkins has a delicious whale steak for dinner [14:37] * awilkins is actually having left over Kung Pao Chicken [14:38] aegh [14:38] got too drunk again [14:38] same routine as normal [14:44] mapps: that reminds me.

I'm not paying attention [15:02] ;)( [15:02] heh [15:03] "A leading SuperEngineer has suggested that Ubuntu deficit hyperactivity disorder (UDHD) is ''not a real disease''."
