[00:19] you're a furry? [00:20] always had my suspicions [00:21] I'm just surprised - it'd be the most normal thing about him [00:21] :-) [00:22] I've only just figured out that 'zero cool', sickboy and sherlock from elementary are the same person. "mind blown" as the internet goes [00:22] johnny lee miller? [00:22] yeah [00:23] remember back in the day when we didn't know what furry was, and http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Amy_the_Squirrel was just cartoon mascot for the amiga? [00:24] we were so innocent back then [00:24] I'm not sure I can click on 'wikifur'. [00:24] don't worry, there are no pictures [00:25] ah. [00:25] so some girl just squatted on my doorstep [00:25] i open the door as i heard movement [00:26] her bf comes back up, apologises and gives me £10 [00:26] \o/ [00:26] lmao [00:26] so this is why ireland forbids alcohol on good friday? [00:26] do they? [00:26] yup [00:26] but it's turdsday until I wake up in the morning/afternoon [00:27] I have a mediocre "squatting" story [00:27] the day before I moved to the US, I went out on the town with .. well, everyone. on the way home I relieved myself somewhere I probably shouldn't have [00:28] wait, so IT WAS YOU! [00:28] mr "copper" stands right beside me while I finish up, and introduces himself. he gets my number (schawing!) and we go about our ways [00:28] odd way of dating sir [00:28] ;) [00:28] 24 hours later I'm on Delta out of heathrow, and forget all about it [00:29] shauno: there's a similar story about one of the UK's most wanted criminals [00:29] eventually daddy#2 shows up to sell the house we move out of, and finds the mail. I have a notice to appear, a summons, a summary judgement on failure to appear .. [00:29] we don't get much crime these days so peeing in the street is a somewhat of the most impressive of crimes [00:30] and to cap it off, it turns out the doorstep belongs to an ex [00:30] lol [00:30] LOL [00:30] shauno: subconsciously you knew you had to do your business RIGHT there [00:31] possibly the strangest conversation ever was phoning transatlantic to explain to cumbria cty courts why I wasn't going to be appearing any time soon [00:32] OI AM SHEEEEER-NO, OI AIN'T COMIN' [00:32] mostly just a silly story, until I moved back to europe. and the first time I visited the UK, I was genuinely nervous that the border were going to stop me because I had failure to appear against my name [00:34] happened to a friend of mine... for failure to pay TV license though [00:35] shauno: you mean we actually let you back in? [00:35] so me and the cat are playing charades, the clue is 'an activity' [00:35] https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3h0sdkah33ahuo/IMG_20140418_013334.jpg [00:36] multiple times :) [00:36] i've already guessed rowing [00:36] and falling down a well [00:36] prostrate? your cat may be buddhist [00:37] i feel silly, i'm unfamiliar with that word [00:38] 1) lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downwards. [00:38] isn't that in a dude's bum? [00:38] " especially in reverence or submission." [00:38] that's prostate. the missing R is incredibly important [00:39] (see also: important vs impotent) [00:40] lol. [00:41] eg, http://nickyloh.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Tibet0035.jpg they're wearing 'shoes' on their hands because the ascend the entire moutain in this position [00:41] wellity wellity [00:44] strange strange day. I'm so glad I took tomorrow off (it's bring your child to work day. I had to) [00:44] ah yes :D [00:45] i'm off to England in the afternoon [00:45] in fact i have a number of things to get sorted before i go, so i should really go to sleep right now [00:45] I found out today that my pay raise this year is 0%, because I had a disciplinary for being late too often [00:45] :/ [00:45] are we talking 5 minutes here and there? [00:46] despite the fact I kicked ass this year. I've brought in some huge clients. apple. microsoft, ericson, walmart, etc [00:46] 5 minutes way too often, up to an hour on exactly the wrong day, which set it off [00:47] :( [00:47] legit reason? [00:47] I've been told I can appeal it, but I'm torn between that, and acting like a 12yo and flipping the bird [00:48] no legit reason. I'm an insomniac. have been as long as I remember. 6am shifts are difficult [00:48] damn yeah :S [00:49] seems to be us three nightowls meet quite often [00:49] i'm tempted to quote Macbeth i think it is by asking, since i'll be away for the weekend, "when shall we three meet again?" :D [00:49] just a weird one because I've had an abnormally strong year [00:49] does seem like they should be lenient on such minor transgressions given that [00:50] especially being so... school like about it [00:50] have you spoken one on one with whoever's the decider? [00:50] I'm still thinking about that. I only found out today [00:51] ah [00:51] guess it depends on your relationship with them if it's worth a try or not [00:51] the 'problem' is our manager's manager. it's his training I was quite (almost an hour) late for. [00:51] doh [00:51] and ... he's german. 'late' doesn't translate into german [00:51] hehe [00:52] I don't think they have an equivalent word [00:52] Oh, they do. [00:52] jpds: insults aren't quite the same [00:52] 'dead' is probably the equivalent. if you think about it, 'late' and 'late and synomnym in english [00:53] "absolute Wahnsinn". [00:54] it's just a weird situation. especially since they already took 1/5th of my bonus for the same reason. and without tooting my own horn too much, I am the alpha nerd on the team [00:55] :D [00:55] shauno: hope it works out [00:56] right i really have to go, have a good easter all \o [00:56] nn [00:57] have a fun trip :) [00:58] ty ^_^ [01:00] daftykins: safe travells === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [05:26] Wwe ae tottenham [05:26] :D [05:26] in Islington atm [08:16] morning and top of the day to you [08:17] morning [08:18] I'm trying to find out where can I find a pci express wifi card that's half height and supported by Linux... [08:21] ah, I think I've found one [08:59] Hi all [09:02] I am trying to connect to my wireless network from recovery, but I can't get Dhcp to work. dhclient wlan0 - v just ends with no dhcpoffers received, no working leases in persistent database - sleeping [09:08] Iwconfig shows I am connected to the network but there's no Internet connection [09:13] Has anyone got any idea what the problem could be? I need the Internet to fix the installation [09:16] TheProphet[S]: does "iwconfig list" show the SSID of your access point? [09:18] iwconfig wlan0 does yes [09:19] dawkins: I can see the correct ssid and encryption key [09:19] I guess you could set the IP address manually, but it should be provided by the local DHCP server (assuming it's running etc.) [09:21] iirc, the key needs to be the hex equivalent of the passphrase, but I could be wrong about that [09:21] Trying to ping Google Dns 8.8.8.8 it says host unreachable [09:21] have you manually configured your IP address, TheProphet[S]? [09:21] No I haven't [09:22] if you know the network range, you could set the IP address by hand, but I suspect it's not connected successfully to your wifi because of the type of security [09:23] you might also have to stop networkmanager [09:23] Sorry I'm back [09:27] Hey dwatkins sorry I'm back now [09:28] I should be able to ping an ip if I'm connected to the network right? [09:28] that depends on many things, TheProphet[S] - try pinging a local address first, such as your router [09:29] Hi good morning everyone [09:31] morning boys and girls. [09:33] Morning [09:34] dwatkins even my router is unreachable sorry [09:35] I thought I did things properly but it can't be [09:35] I'm gonna try it again [09:38] From recovery mode dropped to root shell and logged in as my user [09:39] Remounted root fs to rw [09:42] Ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 essid... key... Done [09:44] It's not just "key" right? I'm forgetting something [09:45] it depends on the format of key you're using [09:46] this might help, TheProphet[S] - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14119446/iwconfig-connect-network-via-wifi-on-terminal [09:47] Thanks dwatkins I was reading that and it seems I need to use wpa-supplicant [10:08] how to redirect all pages (website) to maintenance page [10:15] dwatkins I managed to get it to work with wpa_supplicant thanks for your help === ormiret_ is now known as ormiret [12:23] goo.gl/J6pGU5 :) [12:27] brobostigon: I think I saw that one on Fidonet once in the 90s :P [12:27] ah, :) [12:57] howdy all [12:58] hi MooDoo [13:06] how are you brobostigon ?

[13:35] !oxideqt-codecs [13:36] !info oxideqt-codecs [13:36] Package oxideqt-codecs does not exist in saucy [13:37] brobostigon, i think it has come down with the new QML web browser that is installed by default? [13:37] which ubuntu version are you using? [13:37] brobostigon, trusty [13:37] !info oxideqt-codecs trusty [13:37] oxideqt-codecs (source: oxide-qt): Web browser engine library for Qt (codecs). In component main, is extra. Version 1.0.0~bzr501-0ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 493 kB, installed size 2323 kB [13:38] nominally answers the question. [13:39] brobostigon, bit strange on a clean image u can't install ubuntu-restricted-extras without breaking the new web browser that is used for the webapps? [13:40] brobostigon, unless one of the packages in the restricted-extras will replace it? i see it wants to install things like oxideqt-codecs-extra [13:40] that would be a fair presumption. [13:41] brobostigon, this is what it wants to do http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7275721/ [13:42] it just looks much worse in USC when that dialog appears stating it is going to remove things lol [13:43] brobostigon, i'll take a punt and see what happens thanks for ur help [13:43] those nominally look like the right packages. === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [15:27] Hi guys, trying to use preseed to build an ubuntu vm, but can't get past "Select your location" automatically..
