[00:05] <Matml__> About to give up and use my laptop as a paperweight, but otherwise ok!
[00:09] <diddledan> Matml__: you could try doorstop, too
[00:09] <Matml__> It's good to have options :)

[00:09] <diddledan> who wants a googley arm-clock?
[00:10] <diddledan> https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=samsung_gear_live_black
[00:13] <daftykins> Matml__: hehe, what're you wrestling with?
[00:13] <Matml__> daftykins: Possibly python?
[00:14] <Matml__> Have been having issues for a few days, all revolving around the message "Failed to import the site module".
[00:15] <daftykins> ah, i'm no dev or coder sadly so i'm no use there
[00:15] <Matml__> That's the annoying thing, I'm not doing any dev or coding!
[00:15] <Matml__> it's just an error that's seemed to appeared...
[00:16] <Matml__> I only think it's python from googling
[00:16] <daftykins> oh right 0o
[04:20] <mapps> weds is the besttv night7
[04:20] <mapps> :D
[04:21] <mapps> suits and graceland
[07:27] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:09] <directhex> huh, one of the PC cases I was looking at has no optical drive bays. i assumed it was a door, not a blank front
[08:47] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[08:47] <popey> yo
[08:47] <Mlar> Good morning.
[08:48] <popey> so, everyone buying smart watches now? https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=samsung_gear_live_black
[08:48] <bigcalm> Cooiee
[08:48] <foobarry> i prefer to charge my watch once every 5 years
[08:48] <foobarry> i change my strap more often..
[08:48] <popey> heh
[08:49] <foobarry> i can see myself still wearing a casio f91w when i'm retired
[08:50] <Mlar> I've just switched back to a non-smart phone. It's amzing. It hardly ever needs charging.
[08:50]  * popey still wears an f-91w
[08:51] <popey> ]#
[08:51] <foobarry> Mlar: how's the internet access on it?
[08:51]  * awilkins got an F-91W for his daughter to wear on our trip to Florida. She was pulled aside for a bag search. She was 6 at the time.
[08:51] <popey> also a W86
[08:51] <Mlar> foobarry: equally as good as the internet access on my watch!
[08:52] <Mlar> And possibly a little better than my laptop.
[08:54] <foobarry> awilkins: lol && what the heck
[08:54] <awilkins> foobarry, F-91W is terrorist retrochic
[08:54] <foobarry> for sure, but also v popular
[08:54] <awilkins> They got a reputation as being used for detonators
[08:54] <foobarry> a implies b but b does not imply a
[08:55] <awilkins> Got daughter one because it was dirt cheap, I remember having one as a kid, waterproof for the parks and swimming pools
[08:55] <foobarry> Socrates is a man. All men are mortal. Therefore, all men are Socrates.
[08:55] <awilkins> And of course, a nice little joke for the TSA.
[08:56] <foobarry> can't ask where the guys in this office go for haircut as hair seems to be lacking
[08:56] <awilkins> Heh, I've just had a clipper and cut my own for the last 20 years
[08:57] <awilkins> The wear on the clipper blade decreases each year :-)
[08:59] <DJones> awilkins: I don't know about the wear decreasing each year, but its harder to see my hair as it gets greyer year on year
[09:05] <foobarry> what'st he longest that clippers go to?
[09:05] <foobarry> 1,2,3,4..etc
[09:05] <bigcalm> I think I've seen 6 different heads in my barbers
[09:06] <foobarry> i think longer than 6 tends to clog
[09:06] <popey> yeah, i bought some decent clippers
[09:07] <foobarry> need to change my hairdresser but i'm scared of getting an army cut
[09:12] <DJones> I don't bother with putting a head my clippers, I just go with the "0" cut, hides the grey heair and the bald spots
[09:14] <directhex> i need to get my hair cut more often
[09:15] <directhex> i expect to keep my hair. my grandad on my dad's side died in his 80s with a full head of hair, and on my mum's side my grandad still has his
[09:16] <MartijnVdS> I had a bald spot.. but then I cut off all the hair
[09:16] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Chocolate Pudding Day! :-D
[09:17] <bigcalm> Moose to meet you
[09:20] <diplo> directhex, my grandparents were the same
[09:20] <diplo> I need to have mine cut every two weeks otherwise it's just to thick
[09:25] <bigcalm> I'll be having my sherra cut on Saturday. Once every 4 weeks on the dot
[09:26]  * bigcalm googles for "sherra" as a term for hair and doesn't find it at all :(
[09:26] <bigcalm> Must have been unique to my secondary school
[09:37] <DJones> bigcalm: So the same haircut/style since your schooldays, Mines gone from a normal short back & sides to a waist length ponytail and now to a near shaved head
[09:38] <DJones> I'd like the ponytail back, but I get annoyed when its growing, as soon as it gets longer than 1/4 inch I end up getting it cut, plus grey pony tails don't look good on anybody except for Francis Rossi
[09:40] <foobarry> get a strap-on
[09:41] <DJones> Ooh er....
[09:42] <bigcalm> Oh my
[09:42] <foobarry> pony tail with a headband
[09:43] <foobarry> your hair covers the headband
[09:43] <foobarry> job done
[09:43] <foobarry> no idea what you guys were thinking ...
[09:43] <foobarry> ;)
[09:43] <DJones> Heh
[09:44] <bigcalm> Anybody use a call recording app with Android?
[09:50] <foobarry> no.
[09:50] <foobarry> but it is legal if one person knows its being records
[09:51] <bigcalm> Legality isn't an issue
[09:51] <bigcalm> I record all of my SIP calls and skype calls. Never informed the other person.
[09:52] <bigcalm> My use is personal as I have a horrible short term memory
[10:08] <popey> yeah, i record all my sip calls, which is why my phone is full ☻
[10:12] <directhex> i hate the sound of my own voice so i'd never want to record my calls
[10:14] <foobarry> i was videoed giving a talk last week, haven't watched it yet
[10:16] <bigcalm> I've got used to the sound of my own voice
[10:29] <bigcalm> Desktop background of the moment: http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/439667
[11:03] <popey> http://imgur.com/hSlscKS is my desktop background today
[11:03] <bigcalm> Cute!
[11:04] <bigcalm> You have Variety set to change once per day?
[11:04] <popey> hourly
[11:10] <bigcalm> That sounds more sensible :)
[11:10] <bigcalm> Mine appears to be every 10 mins
[11:27] <foobarry> whats a desktop?
[11:27] <foobarry> mine is always covered in windows
[11:35] <awilkins> I quite like the idea of (to steal a name) an Active Desktop
[11:36] <awilkins> Not just one that shows content but one that has areas you can draw to be intrays and outboxes
[11:36] <foobarry> i like the idea of conky screens and customised background for the conky info to live inside
[11:36] <diplo> awilkins, I'm sure a couple of years ago someone was doing something just like that
[11:37] <diplo> watched a few vids of it in action
[13:24] <czajkowski> Aloha
[13:26] <mapp> halo
[13:26] <mapp> suits is so good
[13:37] <awilkins> mapp, Donna can personally assist me ANY TIME SHE LIKES

[13:38] <awilkins> I have a slight redhead problem. And I'm old enough to be Rachel's dad.
[13:39] <mapp> heh
[13:42] <dwatkins> mapp: well she was a model before she started acting
[14:13] <opalepatrick> I want to show a client my screen as a quick demo. They are tech non-savvy windows user. What is the 'easiest' way for them as well?
[14:14] <opalepatrick> An d for me the one with the least grief :-)
[14:18] <popey> opalepatrick: google hangout
[14:18] <opalepatrick> ahaa

[23:36] <celesteh> hello, I used to have an application called something like ubuntu software center that let me search for apps and install them. I can seem to find it on trusty. Does it have a new name or is it gone?
