SuperMatthuzzah07:45
SuperMattmy date/time indicator is missing from gnome-flashback. Anyone know how to get it back without logging out and back in again07:46
SuperMattgnome-panel --replace didn't work07:46

brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:25
dwatkinsno-ip is great, but all my routers only have an option for dyndns08:39
dwatkinsalso, good morning08:39
brobostigonmorning dwatkins08:39
DJonesdwatkins: Same here, router only has dyndns, I just use ddclient to update no-ip08:43
foobarryanyone on ipv6?08:45
foobarryis www6.bbc.co.uk a real site?08:45
bigcalmdwatkins: run openwrt and then have ddclient run from it. Or run ddclient on an always on server in your home08:47
bigcalmhttp://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ddns.client08:48
* bashrc uses freeDNS09:17
bigcalmOnce I move from VirginMedia to PlusNet, the need for ddns will diminish slightly :)09:25
popeyooh, plusnet09:25

bigcalmI want FTTC, unlimited usage and a fair price09:27
bigcalmPlusNet seems to fit the bill09:27
foobarry"Plusnet takes the security of our customers' data very seriously indeed, and we are very concerned that information we were legally obliged to share in confidence with a third party has been made public on the Internet."09:28
Myrttizen internet ♥09:28
Myrttiwe've got their FTTC with unlimited usage (I think)09:28

popeymy terminal used to block alt+t11:06
awilkinsIs there a way to name workspaces out of the box with Unity?11:22
awilkinsInterested from the POV of being able to name a workspace and dedicate it to a particular project11:22
awilkins(and use that name to feed a helper for my time logging)11:22
jpdsIn your mind, yes.11:23
awilkinsSo more of a "change the names on the fly" thing than "fix the names"11:23
awilkinsI know you can change workspace names, just don't see a way to do it included with Unity11:23
popeydont think so11:31

mappsargh!15:12
mappsits kinda annoying as you can imagine if you read the post:)15:12
diddledanit seems journos are now trying to make a story out of rolf harris just because he's convicted of crimes: there's absolutely nothing of report in this article other than the complete lack of report: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/shortcuts/2014/jul/02/i-saw-rolf-harris-dark-side-portrait-queen-art15:27
ujjainIs there a site where you could place an ad if you would want somebody to place curtains in your place? I already bought the curtains, etc.15:27
diddledan"you knew then, but did nothing" to quote independence day15:27
diddledani.e. if this journo thought something was up why didn't he speak out?!15:28
diddledanas to the portrait of the queen it's actually quite good15:28
diddledanujjain: craigslist?15:29
diddledanujjain: you could offer some sexual favours to ensure it gets accepted15:29

bashrcyet another celebrity child abuser.  I'm beginning to see a pattern emerging15:53
diddledanpretty much anyone who was anyone from the 80s is indicted it seems15:55
diddledanexcept the hoff15:56
Myrttithe best place to hide is in plain sight15:56
diddledanbecause he's the hoff15:56
mappsbashrc yep16:37
mappsthing is, these celebs are untouchable at first. it seems treated liker royalty16:37
mappsyoung girls throw themselves at them and these vile animals abuse that16:38
bashrcI think the take home message is that celebrity is a sort of power, and people with power often abuse it in a variety of ways16:38
mappsdiddledan craigslis and gumtree are fraudster central arent they? prob people selling blocked phones and ythe like16:39
mappspeople asking for western union payments etc lol16:39
mappswhatever it is, disgusting pathetic men16:39
mappssad specimens, not an ounce of decency , they don't even admit it when they're banged to rights and instead waste the court and everyone elses time16:40
bashrcI think the solution is really a change of attitude towards celebrity.  It seems that many of those cases were reported at the time but disbelieved by managers16:47
bashrcit's possible that if there hadn't been quite such a deferent attitude then some of those folks would not have had multi-decade careers16:48

diddledanhow weird is this: I've got synergy set up with one guest connected to the server. My keyboard and mouse are stuck on the guest and can't be transferred to the server20:35
diddledanI could understand it if things were the other way about with the server retaining the keyboard/mouse and not transferring to the guest but this seems backasswards20:35
ali1234it means your config is messed up20:36
