|---|---|---|
| MartijnVdS | hey mapp | 05:32 |
| mapp | lovely weather here again | 05:34 |
| mapp | rain rain rain:) | 05:34 |
| MartijnVdS | Oh, it's just very grey here :) | 05:34 |
| mapp | ;] | 05:34 |
| diddledan | steam just got better | 05:35 |
| MartijnVdS | it did? | 05:35 |
| diddledan | steam stream | 05:35 |
| diddledan | you can leave a box with a meaty gfx card in a cupboard for all your games and run them remotely on a system that wouldn't ordinarily run the game | 05:36 |
| mapp | cool | 05:36 |
| MartijnVdS | yeah.. but I don't have a cupboard to put such a machine in.. and my meatiest gfx card is in my i7 | 05:36 |
| diddledan | even better is that if you still have any games that are windows-only you can still run them on linux via steam stream | 05:37 |
| MartijnVdS | yeah that would work i guess | 05:38 |
| diddledan | technically they're running on a windows box but your every-day machine can still be linux | 05:38 |
| MartijnVdS | I need to update my Windows machine | 05:48 |
| MartijnVdS | but I'm afraid it'll cry because changing motherboard leads to them extorting more money for a new license | 05:48 |

| MooDoo | morning | 08:19 |
| DJones | Hah, this is what happens when you undertake at speed http://static.ilyke.net/uploads/2014/04/30/sub/51288-ilyke.net-large-2v8n0h5.jpg | 08:21 |
| MooDoo | ouch and serves them right | 08:22 |

| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:24 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, I love you too, mate! :-P | 08:25 |
| MooDoo | morning davmor2 | 08:25 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: Well obviously or our 6 week trudge around Frankfurt airport would of been for nothing :D | 08:26 |
| JamesTait | 6 weeks? | 08:27 |
| JamesTait | It felt like longer than that.... | 08:27 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: hahaha | 08:27 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: it was one big joke really :) | 08:28 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, and the aborted landing was the punchline? | 08:28 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I thought the taxi breaking down was the punchline | 08:29 |
| JamesTait | Hahah! | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: that or the gate change to the other end of the aiport | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | airport even | 08:29 |
| JamesTait | If nothing else, it was eventful. | 08:30 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: well you had to laugh or you'd cry | 08:30 |
| JamesTait | And there I was, in the lead up to the sprint, thinking "well at least it's pretty close this time. No 14-hour trans-atlantic flight. Should be comparatively relaxed." | 08:33 |
| JamesTait | It's all my fault. | 08:33 |
| MooDoo | JamesTait: naughty naughty very naughty | 08:38 |
| JamesTait | MooDoo, got any salmon? | 08:38 |

| MooDoo | davmor2: he's soooooo older than me | 09:43 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: How many minutes is Soooooo older? | 09:44 |
| popey | TheOpenSourcerer: is older than me ☻ | 09:44 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | OI | 09:44 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: I don't know to be honest I'm April | 09:44 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | I may be somewhat older but I still feel like a big kid ;-) | 09:45 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: I think that makes you older than popey too then :P | 09:45 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: ah crap | 09:45 |
| MooDoo | oops | 09:45 |
| foobarry | i know coldplay get criticised but the music is not that bad. except for the latest album which is completely soulless | 09:46 |
| davmor2 | TheOpenSourcerer: That's cause you are :) You're a bloke and you're a geek there is no way on this earth that you are not going to be a big kid :) | 09:46 |
| foobarry | saw an unusual bird yesterdy, cannot find it on the rspb site | 10:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | How does one abort an install that's started? Tried to install Solaar and now it wants to install GDM and a bunch of other cruft I don't want. | 10:34 |
| andylockran | ctrl+c ? | 10:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | Started in Muon - can't find a cancel option. | 10:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | Seems to be install the whole of Gnome. Rats. | 10:35 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Solaar can see my Logitech reciever, but can't open it. Thanks for the tip on Solarr; I'll dig into this permission grief.... | 11:02 |

| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: I've probably not added myself to the right group or something daft. I'm pleased it can see the receiver though. | 11:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Yup - I need to add myself to "plugdev" and it seems KDE has no way of managing group membership by default. Ho hum. | 11:19 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: shuggin fashin kde | 11:20 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: It's got some nice features, but there are times..... | 11:20 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: I love the kubuntu team they do some great work with upstream KDE they are well respected and produce a really nice desktop, On the down side I hate kde as a desktop it just scrambles my head sometimes. I do however love some of the apps :) | 11:23 |
| Myrtti | day off ♥ | 11:28 |
| andylockran | Myrtti: jealous | 11:28 |
| Myrtti | andylockran: well, I'm more jealous of the sensible way of dealing with bank holidays | 11:29 |
| Myrtti | 1st of May is a day off no matter what day of the week it is, and if it falls on the weekend, then, oh well. | 11:29 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 11:53 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Seeing as how the batteries last a year or so (and the mouse has a "Low battery" warning light) it's not a huge issue. Would have been nice though. | 11:53 |
| TwistedLucidity | Will have to try the cheapie TekNet mouse I bought - see if that gets picked up by anything | 11:53 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: haha | 11:54 |

| daubers | popey: True, also an Oggcamp question while people are on the subject | 13:16 |
| daubers | will there be an openhardware thing again? | 13:16 |
| daubers | If so, I'll need to rouse Reading Hackspace into action | 13:16 |
| popey | daubers: no idea, I'm not organising this year, marxjohnson is | 13:17 |
| daubers | popey: Best to tweet/email/gplus/stalk him? | 13:17 |
| popey | yes | 13:17 |
| daubers | Which is best :) | 13:17 |
| popey | or the @oggcamp account, or both | 13:18 |

| popey | I signed up and got accepted but not used it yet | 13:49 |
| SuperMatt | yes they are | 13:49 |
| MooDoo | they are still about I've only just got mine myself, it took ages. | 13:49 |
| SuperMatt | but I'm not doing them any more | 13:49 |
| SuperMatt | turns out working as a racker takes up a lot of time | 13:49 |
| SuperMatt | that and my dancing and my running | 13:49 |
| SuperMatt | so something had to be let go | 13:49 |
| MooDoo | popey: we were having a play with this at some point - http://www.ubuntu-helpouts.org/ | 13:49 |
| daftykins | SuperMatt: dancing, sir? | 13:50 |
| SuperMatt | dancing! | 13:50 |
| SuperMatt | I shall be performing for the Queen herself in a matter of weeks | 13:50 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: wearing a pink tutu at the weekend does not make you a dancer | 13:51 |

| daftykins | lol | 14:02 |
| diddledan_ | MooDoo, I just requested an invite code from google so when that arrives I might have to be reminded of the ubuntu-helpouts.org addy | 14:03 |
| MooDoo | diddledan_: no probs :D | 14:26 |
| daftykins | anyone ever reported a firefox bug before? | 15:03 |
| daftykins | well, this one's more a design fail | 15:03 |
| Armag3dd0n1 | nope | 15:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yes | 15:04 |
| TwistedLucidity | Reminds me, they want some tests run. | 15:04 |
| daftykins | TwistedLucidity: oh? | 15:06 |
| TwistedLucidity | daftykins: Yeah. The folks I'm talking too seem pretty on the ball. Like they actually give a damn. | 15:07 |
| daftykins | :O ooh do you have a channel with some worth prodding? | 15:07 |
| TwistedLucidity | Bugzilla | 15:09 |
| daftykins | just the site itself? | 15:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yeah | 15:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | My issue was an actual crash. If it's a design "thing" then, depending on the "thing", it may need to go through a different channel. | 15:10 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 15:10 |
| TwistedLucidity | As the "thing" might be a matter of opinion. Bound to an IRC/subreddit/mail-list/design-cabal somewhere | 15:10 |
| ali1234 | i have reported a few | 15:12 |
| daftykins | hilariously i've upped an image to an image site and yet its' address doesn't work | 15:14 |
| TwistedLucidity | For that kinda muck I use imgur. Seems to be OK. | 15:15 |
| daftykins | yeah that's where i was | 15:16 |
| daftykins | the exact image ID isn't working on any other computer XD | 15:16 |
| TwistedLucidity | On the right there should be various links. Maybe it take a moment to get cached/stored? | 15:17 |
| daftykins | not quite my first foray into such things, it's definitely gone wonky | 15:17 |
| daftykins | http://i.imgur.com/ogx8gQ0.png | 15:18 |
| TwistedLucidity | You just need a bigger stick | 15:19 |
| daftykins | that's better | 15:19 |
| daftykins | second time | 15:19 |
| TwistedLucidity | Mac user? BURN THE UNBELIEVER! | 15:19 |
| TwistedLucidity | :-P | 15:19 |
| daftykins | setting up a friends as it goes. | 15:20 |
| TwistedLucidity | I'm only teasing | 15:20 |
| ali1234 | what's the problem? | 15:20 |
| daftykins | i know, but i definitely don't want to be associated with buying apple gear | 15:20 |
| daftykins | ali1234: it's very minor really, but you can't dismiss the tour before selecting an answer to the default browser question - which if you're picking yes, you can't do :) | 15:21 |
| daftykins | the only route is to manually drag out the window to get it to not overlap | 15:21 |
| ali1234 | just maximize the window? | 15:21 |
| TwistedLucidity | Minor, but annoying. Yes. | 15:22 |
| daftykins | right, but the top right window control doesn't work in that instance so you have to drag it out | 15:22 |
| daftykins | i just don't think new users should be met with this on initial run | 15:22 |
| daftykins | it'll make them pick no :) | 15:22 |
| bashrc | I wouldn't buy apple gear. I just don't like the closedness | 15:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | I like the build quality and the design of some things. I lack the deep pockets. | 15:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | Also, I like being able to fix my kit. | 15:23 |
| ali1234 | i would buy the apple hardware but i wouldn't be able to run OS X because it's just so ugly and difficult to use | 15:26 |
| daftykins | indeed, very poor window management | 15:28 |
| ali1234 | those icons tho | 15:29 |
| ali1234 | i've only just noticed that the panel is a trapezoid because it's supposed to be 3d. lol | 15:31 |
| ali1234 | i always thought it was just a weird shape | 15:31 |
| ali1234 | that explains the ugly reflections too | 15:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 15:32 |
| daftykins | that sounds more personal though | 15:32 |
| TwistedLucidity | There's a few things like that for GNU/Linux too. Never go on with them. Too hard to see what was running. | 15:32 |
| ali1234 | it's almost like... a shelf | 15:32 |
| ali1234 | TwistedLucidity: yes, unity being the most commonly used | 15:33 |
| TwistedLucidity | ali1234: Was thinking for of Cairo Dock or whatever it was called. Can't get along with Unity either. :-( | 15:34 |
| ali1234 | unity at least looks nice | 15:34 |
| foobarry | TwistedLucidity: elementary frw | 15:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | Thta's a matter of opinion | 15:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | whoops | 15:34 |
| ali1234 | the thing about opinions is that mine are all correct | 15:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | rofl | 15:35 |
| daftykins | that's just incredibly grating to read :P | 15:36 |
