davmor2MooDoo: is it bad when you resort to using claws-mail cause it's more reliable than evo or thunderbird :D09:55
MooDoodavmor2: ouch sir09:56
davmor2MooDoo: the sad thing is I like it it just works09:57
MooDoodavmor2: then what you worried about, if it works it works :)09:57
davmor2MooDoo: the fact i had to resort to using it in the first place :)  It was claws or kmail claws won09:58
awilkinsTBH I mostly use GMail's web interface09:58
awilkinsAnd Outlook. Because Outlook is the only no-faffing client that works on our work email infrastructure09:58
davmor2awilkins: I don't use gmail.  I have a home server for email and then work too09:59
davmor2and roundcube in trusty seems to be playing up for me so I need to dig into that at some point10:00
awilkinsdavmor2, For work we have Exchange behind some kind of XMLRPC / HTTP firewall gateway10:00
awilkinsThe webclient sucks (on purpose) on non-IE browsers10:00
awilkinsThe only other clients are Outlook and ActiveSync10:01
awilkinsFor ActiveSync the admin requires the ability to nuke my phone from orbit, so that's not happening10:01
awilkinsIMAP doesn't work outside the office network10:01
NET||abusehi folks, anyone tried new skype on 14.04 yet?10:13
NET||abusewas wondering should i install it or stick to the canonical packaged one?10:13
MooDooNET||abuse: just try it :D10:14
NET||abusemy main requirement is i run 2 skype accounts, personal and work10:15
NET||abusewill the --dbpath option still work?10:15
awilkinsNET||abuse, I'm running 4.3, `skype --help` lists the --dbpath option10:17
awilkinsOverall my experience is that 4.3 has better audio quality (but not sure if that's mostly linked to improvements in their phone / VoIP gateway network)10:18
NET||abuseyeh, well, as long as i can have the 2 acccounts and it still works, i'm good10:18
awilkinsHave some really  terrible qualuty  doing Skype -> Cisco WebEx calls10:18
awilkinsAm told that I sound like I'm underwater, can only infer that the compression of Skype -> Phone gateway -> Cisco VoIP  interacts badly10:19
awilkinsIf only it was just SIP... don't think we'll get SIP gateway though, Cisco charge per minute of phone which is how they make their cash...10:20
diddledanis it lunch time yet?10:56
foobarryhow do pci slots show up in lspci?11:08
foobarrysame card, same model of server, different lspci id 00:08.. and 00:20...11:09
foobarryi assume this means the card is in different slot on the other server?11:09

davmor2popey: You never said you had access to guns12:47
popeypew pew pew12:48
davmor2popey: wow you hiding out in a church now :D12:48
dogmatic69_anyone know if its possible to make the first line stick (eg csv headers) in less / more12:52
dogmatic69_or any other tool...12:52
dwatkinsyou could split the screen with tmux or screen, I suppose, dogmatic69_12:52
dogmatic69_dwatkins:  not when I am on lame windows :/12:53
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
dwatkinsdogmatic69_: well, if you will use Windows ;)12:55
dogmatic69_under duress.12:55
dwatkinsI treat it like a toy, it has a sandbox and everything.12:56
davmor2dogmatic69_: just use head instead of less13:55
dogmatic69_davmor2:  nope, need the first line + 100000 lines after it13:56
dogmatic69_like 'freeze panes' in excel13:56
davmor2dogmatic69_: drop the csv into something that does that like libreoffice, ms office etc.  I don't think you'll get away with it other wise :)13:58
awilkinsdogmatic69_,  : http://filip.rembialkowski.net/vim-as-a-pager-for-psql/ ?13:58
dogmatic69_davmor2:  seems it can be done with emacs13:58
awilkinsOr vim13:58
dogmatic69_ah, yet that is what I was looking at earlier13:58
dogmatic69_thought it mught be something quick...13:59
davmor2dogmatic69_: so a proper editor then :)13:59
* dogmatic69_ does not have enough fingers to use vim14:01
davmor2dogmatic69_: no idea what you mean it's only one finger you need most of the time :P14:02
awilkinsThink you need two fingers to use vim14:05
awilkinsBut Emacs requires you to have the Twisted Monkey Hand of Chaotic Doom14:06
awilkinsOr at least, that's what you end up with after the tendonitis strikes :P14:06
davmor2awilkins: use stickykeys then you are fine with one :)  For basic editing one finger it enough in vim :)14:07
awilkinsGreat, my window manager has decided to trap my mouse on the right screen14:08
davmor2it's just remembering to hit the esc key before :wq that is the trouble :)14:08
awilkinsAnd to not respond to any clicks14:08
awilkinsI suspect Steam14:08
awilkinsGreat, keyboard only window navigation 4tl14:09
MooDoosorry davmor2 was away from keyboard14:22

bigcalmAnybody good with sed?16:51
bigcalmI've done this sed -i 's/\t/","/g'16:51
bigcalm<filename>16:51
Laneysimon16:51
bigcalmThat'll replace the tabs in a file with ",". But How do I wrap each line with double quotes?16:52
bigcalmBasically converting a tab separated values file into a csv16:52
awilkinsThe whole line, or just the field?16:53
bigcalmWhole line16:54
awilkinsAh16:54
awilkinserm/// another two regexes16:54
bigcalmBecause I'm already doing the inner bits16:54
awilkins  s/^/"/   and s/$/"/16:54
bigcalmI thought it was but guess I got it wrong, ta :)16:54
bigcalmYep, that worked16:55
bigcalmTa16:55
Laneys/.*/"&"/16:56
bigcalmHumm, okay16:57
awilkinsAh yes, regexes are greedy16:57
