muzini | view from the highest point in the UK | 00:23 |
daftykins | :O | 00:27 |
daftykins | so there's some greenery left | 00:27 |
muzini | plenty of it | 00:28 |
muzini | from the top of Ben Nevis | 00:28 |
daftykins | :D | 00:29 |
shauno | can't be - not enough rain?! | 00:29 |
daftykins | how long's the hike? | 00:29 |
diddledan | daftykins: about 1.3km :-p | 00:30 |
muzini | About 4 hours up and 3 hours down | 00:30 |
diddledan | (straight up) | 00:30 |
daftykins | :o | 00:32 |
muzini | I've taken a radio up there | 00:32 |
muzini | and I heard Iceland and French radio stations from the Pyrenees | 00:32 |
daftykins | haha neat | 00:34 |
muzini | yep | 00:43 |
muzini | I'm planning a trip to Norway soon. | 00:43 |
daftykins | something bigger to climb? ;) | 00:43 |
shauno | try ireland! nothing more than bumps to climb, but the radio reception is amazing | 00:46 |
daftykins | :) | 00:47 |
shauno | I found out recently that rte still operate atlantic 252's transmitter. I had no idea it still existed | 00:50 |
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
muzini | It was not bad reception for 1,000 miles away but whilst you're up at 4409FT the French Transmitter is one of the Highest in the world | 00:56 |
muzini | at 10kft | 00:56 |
muzini | and it pretty much covers ths south of France for coverage. | 00:57 |
muzini | I was only hoping to hear the Faroe Islands but heard Icelandic instead. | 00:57 |
shauno | curious, what band? | 00:58 |
muzini | I've already tried Ireland before :D | 00:59 |
daftykins | i was going to ask which band too | 00:59 |
muzini | All the BBC nationals and classic | 01:10 |
muzini | from blackhill, forth 1, cluyde 1, tay fm, kingdom f | 01:10 |
muzini | beat 106, central fm | 01:10 |
muzini | MFR, northsound west fm and borders | 01:11 |
daftykins | so purely FM? | 01:11 |
muzini | I only did FM DXing | 01:14 |
diddledan | DXing? | 01:15 |
muzini | stations search | 01:17 |
muzini | http://imgur.com/a/MkGcP | 01:17 |
muzini | here is a gallery of images from my trip to Ireland | 01:18 |
shauno | I can't decide if I should queue another episode, or go to bed :/ | 01:36 |
daftykins | i'm going with bed | 01:38 |
shauno | this is the sensible choice, since I should be up at 8. | 01:39 |
shauno | but .. does "too lazy to go to bed" make any sense? | 01:39 |
daftykins | yeah i'm always suffering from that one | 01:39 |
daftykins | i felt tired at midnight but here i am ;/ | 01:39 |
muzini | whereabout are you? | 01:41 |
shauno | I don't particularly feel tired, but I know if I keep putting it off it'll get light again | 01:41 |
daftykins | muzini: Channel Islands | 01:42 |
shauno | I'm on the atlantic coast of ireland | 01:42 |
shauno | (I'm not sure why I always specify that, but basically, the bit that isn't dublin) | 01:43 |
daftykins | :D | 01:43 |
muzini | very nice | 01:43 |
muzini | I visited Alderney few years ago | 01:43 |
muzini | its a small island | 01:43 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/xFNtpMf.jpg | 01:43 |
daftykins | that's the only one i've not been to properly | 01:44 |
muzini | only about 2000 people. | 01:44 |
muzini | Really nice beaches. | 01:44 |
daftykins | :) | 01:45 |
daftykins | i have some local stuff if you'd like | 01:45 |
daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/axo44ps02ut2586/ZxhE4_TsjS | 01:45 |
muzini | its not very well known but its a 3wonderful island | 01:45 |
daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x4n77vp7rb9123a/MGPDBthSjg | 01:45 |
daftykins | and last one https://www.dropbox.com/sh/em6gqyhhbc4e01p/gT4UekIhov | 01:46 |
daftykins | just a phone i'm afraid so no fancy quality | 01:46 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/IvFEgXC.jpg | 01:46 |
muzini | this is what the town looks like | 01:46 |
muzini | really lovely. | 01:46 |
daftykins | :) | 01:46 |
muzini | theres an old fort there as well | 01:47 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/QrevKpL.jpg | 01:47 |
daftykins | i've been on a connecting flight via there, but didn't see more than the secluded airport | 01:47 |
daftykins | yeah my dad's quite into the island's fortifications from war time and so on | 01:47 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/YHH4MIo.jpg | 01:47 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/Q8rPB1Z.jpg | 01:47 |
muzini | and yet another | 01:48 |
daftykins | beautiful | 01:48 |
muzini | http://i.imgur.com/YKiWsN0.jpg | 01:48 |
muzini | this one is from the top of one of the forts | 01:48 |
muzini | they have lots of forts | 01:48 |
daftykins | well, all our islands do | 01:49 |
daftykins | the Germans put up tonnes of defenses during the occupation | 01:49 |
peret | alo lads | 01:50 |
daftykins | it's pretty quiet now mr.peret | 01:51 |
daftykins | only those of us that refuse to go to sleep remain | 01:51 |
daftykins | :> | 01:51 |
peret | well yes | 01:51 |
peret | everyone is asleep | 01:51 |
peret | even the bloody city | 01:51 |
muzini | I think these predate the german occupation by quite some time | 01:52 |
shauno | I love "haven't been there properly". I got the mental picture of just waking up there drunk one morning | 01:52 |
daftykins | muzini: yeah they typically added onto them though | 01:52 |
shauno | (I know what you mean though. I spent 3 days in Atlanta airport. I still can't decide if I've "been" to Georgia or not) | 01:53 |
daftykins | lmao | 01:53 |
daftykins | on our roadtrip we actually didn't stop in GA | 01:53 |
daftykins | our guidebook said the best thing to see was the coca cola factory | 01:53 |
daftykins | muzini: foetal alcohol syndrome is pretty serious on Alderney | 01:54 |
muzini | was it worth it? | 01:54 |
shauno | that's pretty optimistic. I'd probably claim the best thing to see was the "welcome to tennesee" sign | 01:54 |
daftykins | we didn't go :( | 01:54 |
peret | daftykins: the guide was correct | 01:56 |
daftykins | :D | 01:56 |
shauno | I didn't particularly enjoy atlanta airport, because every morning security seemed to get a little more curious about me. I got touched in ways you'd normally pay 50eur for | 01:56 |
daftykins | oh dear | 01:56 |
peret | atlanta airport is the 2nd biggest attraction | 01:56 |
peret | this is according to futurama | 01:56 |
daftykins | lmao | 01:57 |
shauno | well here it is. I'm going to bed because if I don't, I'll download GoT in the very near future and have a very rough morning at work tomorrow | 02:00 |
daftykins | :) | 02:00 |
daftykins | i'm heading off at last too | 02:00 |
daftykins | g'night all | 02:00 |
daftykins | have a good week o/ | 02:00 |
shauno | now or never really :) | 02:00 |

mapps | and they use czech kroner | 07:20 |
mapps | what?? .fi euros? youre joking?:D | 07:20 |
MartijnVdS | .cz is EU, but not Euro (like UK, Denmark, and a few others) | 07:20 |

mapps | they like russian | 07:22 |
mapps | hm | 07:22 |
mapps | im not | 07:22 |
jussi | mapps: 345€ for 5* hotel (Hilton) + 293€ for flights = 638 | 07:22 |
mapps | jussi | 07:22 |

mapps | gotta see the footie so il stay out in manchester all night then fly | 07:23 |
shauno | I tried that for a concert. turns out the train station gets kinda cold in november :/ | 07:23 |
shauno | that's now my primary memory of manchester. an awkward night spent dressed in leather in the train station. ahem. | 07:24 |
jussi | mapps: seems your deal is best for 4th of may. only gives me damn expensive prices here (10:20 seems earliest flight that I see) | 07:24 |
mapps | hm | 07:25 |
mapps | lets see] | 07:25 |
jussi | but you should also look at hilton for 5* - seems minorly cheaper | 07:25 |
mapps | sheesh | 07:25 |
mapps | im not a snob jussi | 07:26 |
mapps | 4* is fine;p | 07:26 |
jussi | mapps: then you will get a much better deal than Haven | 07:26 |
mapps | ah | 07:26 |
jussi | Service in helsinki is expensive | 07:26 |
jussi | mapps: what kind of holiday are you after? a city break? | 07:27 |
mapps | yes | 07:27 |
mapps | like when i went cz | 07:27 |
mapps | and holland | 07:27 |
jussi | sec | 07:27 |
mapps | wanna be central | 07:27 |
mapps | jussi http://goo.gl/rfamNP ?? | 07:27 |
jussi | thats a fair way from the centre... | 07:28 |
mapps | says 2mies from airport | 07:28 |
mapps | ah | 07:28 |
MartijnVdS | jussi: cabs! | 07:28 |
jussi | airport is ~20km from the centre | 07:28 |
jussi | MartijnVdS: you ever been in a helsinki cab? | 07:28 |
MartijnVdS | jussi: I've never been to Helsikni | 07:29 |
jussi | MartijnVdS: yeah, it shows :P | 07:29 |
mapps | jussi http://goo.gl/sVqkCf | 07:29 |
MartijnVdS | jussi: are they like Amsterdam cabs? | 07:29 |
jussi | MartijnVdS: no idea. but they are friggin expensive | 07:29 |
shauno | I tend to avoid cabs most places. they all seem to turn into clandestine tour operators | 07:30 |
MartijnVdS | jussi: Amsterdam cabs are expensive and the drivers are maniacs | 07:30 |
jussi | MartijnVdS: just think that the airport is kinda like going to stansted | 07:30 |
MartijnVdS | every so often, there's a big fight among them | 07:30 |
jussi | mapps: do you like something a little "different" ? :D | 07:30 |
mapps | hm depends ow diffeent | 07:31 |
mapps | how | 07:31 |
jussi | "In a 1900s Art Nouveau castle, just under half a mile from central Helsinki, this hotel features free in-room Wi-Fi. Aleksanterin Teatteri Tram Stop is 260 yards away." | 07:31 |
mapps | i like a bed not tent..ive done festivals;p | 07:31 |
mapps | ah cool | 07:31 |
mapps | is it on expedia? | 07:31 |
jussi | dunno, on booking.com | 07:31 |
jussi | Glo Hotel Ar | 07:31 |
jussi | t | 07:32 |
mapps | that sounds cool | 07:32 |
mapps | i just use expedia as hey do flight ad everything for me | 07:32 |
mapps | asier;p | 07:32 |
mapps | lol | 07:32 |
MartijnVdS | booking is great (to use); I've heard from several hotel owners that they're a bit sucky :) | 07:32 |
mapps | heh | 07:32 |
* jussi goes back to work | 07:33 | |
mapps | :D | 07:34 |
shauno | I gotta admit I've started using booking.com for comparisons, and then actually booking through the hotel | 07:34 |
mapps | why | 07:34 |
directhex | i use hipmunk for flights | 07:34 |
directhex | i like its "agony" scoring | 07:34 |
mapps | going to cz in 3 weeks again | 07:34 |
mapps | cheap beer cheap cigs | 07:35 |
mapps | :D | 07:35 |
shauno | there seems to be a split between how hotels treat 'their' guests vs booking's guests | 07:35 |
mapps | ah | 07:35 |
shauno | not huge differences, just things like who gets the room with the view, etc. or in some cases, whether it counts towards their loyalty programs, and blah blah blah | 07:36 |

bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 09:55 |
bigcalm | SSH tunnels - am I doing this right? | 09:55 |
Dave2 | who knows | 09:55 |
bigcalm | There is a MS SQL server I need to connect to from a local windows machine. The MS SQL server is not publicly accessible. It is accessible via a Linux server I have a login on | 09:56 |
dwatkins | are you using -L or -R, bigcalm? | 09:57 |
bigcalm | ssh -L 1433:firewalled.off.server.com:1433 publicly.accessible.server.com -N | 09:57 |
bigcalm | I can do telnet localhost 1433 and it connects to something | 09:57 |
dwatkins | looks right based on my own alias for redirecting from a public server, can the machine you're sshing to resolve the name of the firewalled-off server, bigcalm? | 09:58 |
bigcalm | But I can't connect MS SQL Server Management Studio to my machine | 09:58 |
diddledan | "something" :-D | 09:58 |
bigcalm | dwatkins: I'm using a 10.x.x.x IP address | 09:59 |
dwatkins | can the ssh server connect itself to the SQL port if you login to it and telnet from it? | 09:59 |
bigcalm | $ telnet 10.176.199.42 1433 | 10:00 |
bigcalm | Trying 10.176.199.42... | 10:00 |
bigcalm | Connected to 10.176.199.42. | 10:00 |
bigcalm | Escape character is '^]'. | 10:00 |
dwatkins | also, ssh -vv (or -vvv) might be useful) | 10:00 |
bigcalm | That was useful | 10:01 |
bigcalm | I can telnet localhost 1433 and it connects | 10:01 |
bigcalm | From another linux machine here, I try telnet 192.168.1.4 1433 and it says connection refused | 10:02 |
bigcalm | 192.168.1.4 is the machine I'm running the redirect on | 10:02 |
bigcalm | So it's allowing connections from localhost but not from elsewhere on my LAN | 10:03 |
bigcalm | Anybody with thoughts? | 10:05 |
bigcalm | Can I set up a tunnel from the local windows machine? | 10:06 |
dwatkins | do you mean that the machine you're setting up the redirection from isn't allowing external machines to use the redirected port? that's an option in the ssh config | 10:07 |
dwatkins | http://www.snailbook.com/faq/gatewayports.auto.html | 10:07 |
bigcalm | dwatkins: correct | 10:07 |
bigcalm | Woooooooo | 10:08 |
bigcalm | -g fixes it! | 10:08 |
dwatkins | :D | 10:09 |
bigcalm | Thanks dwatkins :) | 10:09 |
dwatkins | you're welcome, happy to be of help :) | 10:09 |
* bigcalm tries not to wreck the client's live database | 10:09 | |

popey | or any supermarket | 10:34 |
denni____ | like 99p shop is one? | 10:35 |
popey | yes, every high street has one | 10:35 |

ali1234 | yes | 13:09 |

BigRedS | oh, why? | 13:09 |
BigRedS | I mean, different on desktop I can understand | 13:09 |
bigcalm | Because nobody likes consistency | 13:10 |
BigRedS | but two mobile browsers? | 13:10 |
ali1234 | android chrome is for tablets | 13:10 |
ali1234 | android browser is for phones | 13:10 |
ali1234 | here is a page which utterly fails in chrome for android http://jsbin.com/xosabita/1 | 13:11 |
ali1234 | http://jsbin.com/xosabita/1/edit for source code | 13:11 |
ali1234 | compare with firefox to see how it is supposed to look | 13:12 |
diddledan | no, android chrome is replacement for android browser | 13:12 |
ali1234 | it kind of works in chrome for desktop, but not quite | 13:12 |
diddledan | the two aren't meant to coexist | 13:12 |
ali1234 | diddledan: android chrome is unusable on a small screen | 13:12 |
diddledan | I've never had a problem | 13:12 |
ali1234 | you probably never used a small screen | 13:13 |
ali1234 | i'm talking about 800x480 and so on | 13:13 |
directhex | android 4.4 no longer offers an up-to-date widget for embedding web browsers | 13:15 |

czajkowski | me | 13:23 |

aaronr | i notice ia32-libs isn't around anymore, is there a new metapackage for installing that the 32-bit compat stuff? | 13:24 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: no. You can just install the required 32-bit libraries separately. It's called "multiarch" | 13:24 |
aaronr | specifically I need libsm6:i386 but that doesn't seem to exist. libsm6 has both 64-bit and 32-bit versions though according to launchpad | 13:25 |
aaronr | prelaunch bug maybe? or am i going about this in the wrong way? | 13:26 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: works fine here, did you 'apt-get update'? | 13:27 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: can you do: | 13:27 |
MartijnVdS | dpkg --print-architecture | 13:27 |
MartijnVdS | and: | 13:27 |
MartijnVdS | dpkg --print-foreign-architectures | 13:27 |
BigRedS | you have to add the arch first don't you? | 13:28 |
aaronr | yeah ran aptitude update about 20 mins ago, so should be pretty recent | 13:28 |
MartijnVdS | BigRedS: Maybe on upgrade? I didn't need to by default | 13:28 |
aaronr | running those dpkg comands | 13:28 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: also, what's the message you get when you run 'apt-cache policy libsm6:i386' ? | 13:29 |
BigRedS | MartijnVdS: ah, perhaps. I'm sure I had to do it before, but only on older distros | 13:30 |
aaronr | hm, no foreign architectures. guessing that's the problem. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/424a4782e93df3aac534 | 13:30 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: in that case, dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt-get update | 13:30 |
MartijnVdS | (also don't use aptitude please) | 13:30 |
aaronr | ... and now it knows about libsm6:i386 :) thanks! | 13:32 |
MartijnVdS | np! | 13:32 |
aaronr | aptitude is now bad-form? | 13:33 |
MartijnVdS | yeah, its dependency resolution/conflict resolution is worse than apt's own now | 13:33 |
aaronr | oh wow. that's the entire reason i used it over apt-get :/ | 13:33 |
aaronr | which release did that get worse with? (something since 12.04 i'm guessing?) | 13:34 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: It didn't really get worse, just apt-get got better ;) | 13:35 |
aaronr | ahh okay | 13:35 |
aaronr | also i read a couple days ago that there's an apt command in addition to apt-get/apt-cache... which is the preferred one to be using in 14.04 land? | 13:36 |
MartijnVdS | ooh | 13:37 |
MartijnVdS | that's new to me | 13:37 |
MartijnVdS | it looks like that merges apt-get+apt-cache | 13:37 |
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|afk | ||
aaronr | it seems to, but from what i read at first it's kinda aptitude-like in that it does things its own way? will find the omgubuntu link, one sec | 13:38 |
aaronr | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/how-to-enable-apt-terminal-progress-bar | 13:38 |
MartijnVdS | aaronr: except it's written by the apt maintainers :) | 13:39 |
BigRedS | aptitude used to be hilarious. "aptitude install postfix" "okay, but I'll need to remove Apache2 and vim, and install xemacs to do that" | 13:40 |
diddledan | o_O | 13:40 |
aaronr | haha, yeah. for a while though it solved apt-get's craziness | 13:40 |
diddledan | apt-get vs apt SMACKDOWN | 13:40 |
aaronr | IT'S ON | 13:41 |
aaronr | so i'm guessing that eventually apt-get and apt-cache will be replaced by the apt command? | 13:41 |
aaronr | if it's by the same people? | 13:41 |
MartijnVdS | I suppose | 13:42 |
diddledan | I wonder why the new name | 13:42 |
MartijnVdS | diddledan: because apt-get/apt-cache is confusing | 13:42 |
MartijnVdS | diddledan: yum, etc. all have it in one command | 13:42 |
aaronr | yeah i did like that with aptitude i didn't have to remember to append the correct suffix | 13:42 |
BigRedS | I've always thought there should be an 'apt' commadn that just knows which subcommands are for apt-get and which for apt-cache and calls them respectively. This seems like rather a more complex solution to the same problem :) | 13:51 |

shauno | it wasn't an intentional leap :| | 20:03 |
daftykins | naw, just surprised i didn't get it | 20:03 |
shauno | I'm getting that a lot at the moment. did you know, if you use wpa-psx instead of wpa-psk, wifi doesn't "get it" either? | 20:04 |
shauno | I can't type, I can't read, I can't follow instructions .. I think it's bedtime soon | 20:05 |
dwatkins | daftykins: yeah, my ISP seems to concentrate mostly on businesses, which is fine for me as I'm not using it much during the day | 20:05 |

mapps | how is this allowed..channel5 pick pockets and proud 34yr old criminal talking about pick pocketing..living in a council house paid for by us | 21:21 |
mapps | surely the council could stop their benefits and the police could prosecute | 21:22 |
shauno | I'm not sure things are that easy | 21:28 |
mapps | well its on channel5 now and theyre shown pick pocketing..bragging about it | 21:28 |
mapps | surely the council could act on it | 21:28 |
mapps | just feels like a mockery that we're paying their benefits and they commit crimes against us all? | 21:29 |
shauno | sure. but I have to wonder if making them homeless isn't a little disproportionate (and whether it'd discourage them, or just make them have to 'work harder') | 21:31 |
mapps | well | 21:31 |
mapps | surely we could prosecute based on the tv shhow get them off the streets | 21:31 |
mapps | there's romanians shown to be bragging making money pickpocketing on the tube.stealing bags etc | 21:32 |
shauno | sounds like a plan. luckily we don't pay for prisons ;) | 21:33 |
mapps | well whats the solution | 21:33 |
mapps | let them do whatever they want? | 21:33 |
shauno | that's what I mean. not that easy | 21:33 |
mapps | without sounding like well cant think of the word..you can tell what these lot are like a mile away | 21:35 |
mapps | the way they dress/act/look etc | 21:35 |
