| MooDoo | not watched it. | 06:18 |
| ujjain | are 2.0 and 1.0 amps specs of the usb-cable or the usb-to-mains adaptor? | 07:00 |
| ging | is there a trick to scping files onto a machine in places where you need sudo to access and there's no root user? | 07:11 |

| foobarry | wiped my old hp touchpad and got android 4.4.2 on it \o/ | 09:41 |
| JamesTait | And I have fat fingers this morning. :( | 09:41 |
| foobarry | that little tablet still rocks | 09:41 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:44 |
| MooDoo | morning | 09:44 |
| brobostigon | morning MooDoo | 09:45 |
| bashrc | what about cyanogenmod? | 09:58 |
| bashrc | so, is the ubuntu/android hybrid phone thingy really dead? | 09:59 |
| bashrc | the crossover desktop seemed like a good idea | 10:00 |
| bigcalm | No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin' | 10:03 |
| bashrc | oh | 10:08 |
| Myrtti | pining for the fjords | 10:08 |
| ujjain | so anybody knows if there are also cheaper LPI exams? 124pound is steep | 10:44 |
| MooDoo | ujjain: no 124pounds is correct :( I know I looked into it as well | 10:45 |
| ujjain | in Holland I paid 62 pound, there were discount exams | 10:45 |
| ujjain | community exams | 10:45 |
| MooDoo | yeah looked around couldn't find them any cheaper in this country | 10:48 |
| popey | Do people actually care about LPIC? | 10:54 |
| bashrc | I don't. what is it? | 10:56 |
| foobarry | i care about RHCE | 10:58 |
| foobarry | as it shows some level of competence | 10:59 |
| MooDoo | no I've leart from research hardly anyone knows what it is, if you want a cert for career purposes then you should look at the RHEL exams | 10:59 |
| MooDoo | bashrc: Linux professional institute exams | 10:59 |
| bashrc | ah, I didn't know they existed, so yes I really don't care about LPIC | 11:02 |
| shauno | that's exactly why people prefer rhce, even if they're not going for redhat platforms. if no-one recognises lpic, it holds no value | 11:07 |
| foobarry | is lpic practical? | 11:13 |
| foobarry | don't think so | 11:13 |
| shauno | yeah I don't believe so either. it's done by those Vue centers, so it's just x minutes infront of a multiple choice | 11:19 |
| MooDoo | I was going to do it, just for another cert, but I'm putting it on hold in favour of the rhcsa | 11:20 |
| bashrc | formal training I think can be useful, but probably more effort needs to be put into publicising these certifications and what they mean, otherwise they're useless for making judgements about anyone's skills | 11:27 |
| foobarry | i also consider whether a robot can do it or not | 11:31 |
| foobarry | i took the vmware course but skipped the exam as it was useless | 11:31 |

| foobarry | almost made it to £40 in amazon vouchers from doing surveys \o/ | 12:31 |
| ujjain | ah ok, thanks foobarry | 12:34 |
| ujjain | foobarry, wow, nice, amazon surveys? | 12:35 |
| popey | reminds me, I got 20 quid amazon voucher this week | 12:35 |
| popey | pressie time! | 12:35 |
| * popey checks his wishlist | 12:36 | |
| popey | mmmmm http://www.amazon.co.uk/Franks-RedHot-Original-Cayenne-Pepper/dp/B002L639UY | 12:37 |
| popey | candidate | 12:37 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | popey: Looks nice. Have you tried it before? | 12:37 |
| popey | yes | 12:38 |
| popey | its what they use on buffallo wings in the us traditionally | 12:38 |
| popey | not especially spicy, but quite piquant | 12:38 |
| foobarry | ujjain: no, other general surveys. can send u a link if u like | 12:38 |
| ujjain | foobarry, sure | 12:38 |
| popey | foobarry: I'd be up for that too ☻ | 12:38 |
| foobarry | you need spare time to do them but i'e earned ~60 over last few months | 12:38 |
| foobarry | can u PM me your email address please and i'll refer you | 12:39 |
| foobarry | they are often surveys about beer, smartphones, travel and ISPs | 12:42 |
| ujjain | bank accounts are complex, thinking about getting a free paid account, but it says nothign about early cancelation | 12:48 |
| foobarry | ujjain: popey did you want me to send you signup links to the survey stuffs? i need your emails | 13:00 |
| foobarry | i have a cheeky mouse in our house. cannot get rid of it. | 13:00 |
| dwatkins | I've had a lot of mice in my flat over the last 3 years. | 13:08 |
| dwatkins | foobarry: try these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trixie-Mouse-Trap-4-5-17/dp/B000WFI866/ | 13:08 |
| foobarry | i have a similar one | 13:08 |
| foobarry | maybe the mouse is gone now | 13:08 |
| awilkins | Isn't it illegal to catch & release vermin? | 13:09 |
| dwatkins | I find they tend to use them when I'm on holiday, unfortunately. | 13:09 |
| dwatkins | it is? in that case, I've broken the law 3 times. | 13:09 |
| awilkins | As I recall when I had squirrels and researched it you have to destroy them | 13:09 |
| foobarry | is it illegal to club a mouse over the head on the field? | 13:09 |
| awilkins | Don't think so | 13:09 |
| foobarry | squirrels are different | 13:09 |
| dwatkins | I let them go in the park. | 13:09 |
| foobarry | grey squirrels are not english | 13:09 |
| awilkins | I headclubbed them | 13:09 |
| foobarry | my dog despatches them | 13:10 |
| foobarry | sometihng about indiginous species | 13:10 |
| dwatkins | "Under the WCA there is no prohibition on the release of other species of rats or mice which are ordinarily resident in GB." | 13:12 |
| awilkins | I quite liked the idea of the ratzapper 2000 | 13:12 |
| dwatkins | section 6.3.1 of http://www.ufaw.org.uk/rodents.php | 13:12 |
| awilkins | It's like that live trap, only incorporates a pair of high tension metal plates and a battery power source | 13:12 |
| awilkins | Both fatal AND humane. | 13:13 |
| awilkins | But I couldn't source one in this country | 13:13 |
| foobarry | also joined a samsung roundtable for discussion about their products. pretty good idea tbh | 13:54 |
| diddledan | foobarry, do you get freebies? :-p | 14:06 |
| dogmatic69 | I am on a windows box using cygwin to ssh into a linux box, if I paste something longer than 20 chars it crashes the cygwin terminal. Any ideas? | 14:09 |
| dogmatic69 | its only on some ssh connections, not all so its not cygwin I dont think... | 14:09 |
| foobarry | diddledan: like 4k tellies? | 14:11 |
| diddledan | foobarry, yeah, that'ld be a good start | 14:11 |
| foobarry | more like $5 vouchers for contribution, but its a new thing so we'll see. | 14:11 |
| diddledan | :-( | 14:11 |
| foobarry | generally the discussion is around large appliances , tv , washing machine, etc | 14:11 |
| foobarry | so you can contribute by suggesting smart washing machines that give statistics on your washes etc | 14:12 |
| diddledan | "you have washed 6 unpaired socks in the last month" | 14:15 |
| diddledan | my favourite bash feature that I discovered a while ago? the CDPATH variable | 14:18 |
| foobarry | washing machine sock monster has eaten 4 pairs | 14:18 |
| diddledan | it's awesome | 14:18 |
| diddledan | lol | 14:18 |
| foobarry | we also have a carpet monster | 14:19 |
| foobarry | eats small airfix parts | 14:19 |
| diddledan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7529678/ <-- my CDPATH variable - allows me to `cd` into directories without remembering exactly where they're located - e.g. `cd passwords` will actually cd to /Users/dllewellyn/bang/passwords no matter where I am in the hierarchy | 14:21 |
| diddledan | the var works similarly to $PATH | 14:21 |
| awilkins | Neato | 14:21 |
| * awilkins makes a mental chalkboard note | 14:21 | |
| foobarry | it can be dangerous tho | 14:22 |
| diddledan | my paste above says that cd will first search the current directory (.) then check /data followed by /Users/dllewellyn/bang and finally ~ | 14:22 |
| foobarry | encourages sloppiness versus precision | 14:22 |
| diddledan | it may encourage sloppiness but it speeds up getting to my work folders by orders of magnitude | 14:32 |
| diddledan | cd .. | 14:32 |
| diddledan | ls | 14:32 |
| diddledan | cd .. | 14:32 |
| diddledan | ls | 14:32 |
| diddledan | etc. | 14:32 |
| foobarry | you can also do cd $WORK | 14:32 |
| foobarry | cd $DATA | 14:32 |
| foobarry | enjoying my new desert camo trousers for summer http://www.thebunkerwarehouse.co.uk/trousers/82-desert-camo-trousers.html | 14:34 |
| diddledan | but then I'd have to remember ahead of time which folder it's in | 14:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | foobarry: Do you live in a desert? | 14:34 |
| foobarry | a cultural desert | 14:35 |
| diddledan | .. and if I knew ahead of time which folder it was in I can go there directly without a $variable | 14:35 |
| TwistedLucidity | LOL | 14:35 |
| foobarry | i'll get booted out of the sandpit at the kids playground | 14:35 |
| foobarry | good price for nice trousers though | 14:36 |
| foobarry | really comfy | 14:36 |

| bigcalm | I keep trying to copy/paste text from OneNote running on a Windows machine into Chromium running on my desktop, linked via Synergy. And I keep forgetting that trying to do so freezes Chromium | 15:53 |
| bigcalm | Damn you technology | 15:53 |
| shauno | diddledan: you can totally abuse cdpath by making a ~/.bookmarks folder, sticking it in your cdpath, and symlinking common destinations into it ;) | 15:54 |
| awilkins | bigcalm, Which version of Synergy#? | 15:56 |
| bigcalm | 2 | 15:56 |
| awilkins | I thought there was only 1.5? | 15:56 |
| bigcalm | I donated, so use their latest version | 15:56 |
| awilkins | I donated at some point.. | 15:56 |
| bigcalm | Ah, it used to be called Synergy2 | 15:57 |
| bigcalm | Yes, 1.5.0 from http://synergy-project.org/download/ | 15:57 |
| awilkins | Ah, likewise | 15:57 |
| bigcalm | Some programs on my desktop just do not seem to cope with pasting from the buffer | 15:58 |
| diddledan | synergy is pretty decent | 15:58 |
| diddledan | I donated to them, too | 15:58 |
| awilkins | I find sometimes you have to kill rdpclip.exe | 15:58 |
| awilkins | But that's Windows / Office I think | 15:58 |
