[00:37] <mapps> yo
[00:37] <mapps> what to do
[02:45] <mapp> well
[02:45] <mapp> bad neighbours wasnt bad..better than i expected
[02:45] <mapp> :)
[02:52] <mapp> noone else around?
[07:34] <DJones> Morning all
[07:34] <popey> yo
[07:35] <DJones> no-ip appears to be back to normal
[07:45] <SuperMatt> huzzah
[07:46] <SuperMatt> my date/time indicator is missing from gnome-flashback. Anyone know how to get it back without logging out and back in again
[07:46] <SuperMatt> gnome-panel --replace didn't work
[07:58] <SuperMatt> oooh, in searching for how to fix that, I finally found out how to add panels to my second screen
[08:08] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[08:09] <bashrc> morning
[08:25] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:39] <dwatkins> no-ip is great, but all my routers only have an option for dyndns
[08:39] <dwatkins> also, good morning
[08:39] <brobostigon> morning dwatkins
[08:43] <DJones> dwatkins: Same here, router only has dyndns, I just use ddclient to update no-ip
[08:45] <foobarry> anyone on ipv6?
[08:45] <foobarry> is www6.bbc.co.uk a real site?
[08:47] <bigcalm> dwatkins: run openwrt and then have ddclient run from it. Or run ddclient on an always on server in your home
[08:48] <bigcalm> http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/ddns.client
[09:17]  * bashrc uses freeDNS
[09:25] <bigcalm> Once I move from VirginMedia to PlusNet, the need for ddns will diminish slightly :)
[09:25] <popey> ooh, plusnet
[09:25] <bigcalm> Going to pay a fiver for a static IP address
[09:26] <popey> lolnet
[09:26] <popey> http://www.plus.net/support/acslaw.shtml
[09:27] <bigcalm> Ho hum
[09:27] <bigcalm> I want FTTC, unlimited usage and a fair price
[09:27] <bigcalm> PlusNet seems to fit the bill
[09:28] <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] <Myrtti> zen internet ♥
[09:28] <Myrtti> we've got their FTTC with unlimited usage (I think)
[09:39] <awilkins> Anyone use arbtt ?
[09:39] <awilkins> (Automatic Rule Based Time Tracker) ..
[09:47] <awilkins> Oh wow, this may be exactly what I wanted
[09:47] <awilkins> Fulfils stages 1 and 2 of the Fully Automated Record Time system
[09:47] <awilkins> (yes, I am a bad man who thinks up things with naughty acronyms)
[09:57] <foobarry> .win 9
[10:59] <dwatkins> Windows 9... *shudder*
[11:03] <foobarry> my DE blocks alt-9 for irssi
[11:03] <foobarry> have to type /win 9
[11:06] <popey> my terminal used to block alt+t
[11:22] <awilkins> Is there a way to name workspaces out of the box with Unity?
[11:22] <awilkins> Interested from the POV of being able to name a workspace and dedicate it to a particular project
[11:22] <awilkins> (and use that name to feed a helper for my time logging)
[11:23] <jpds> In your mind, yes.
[11:23] <awilkins> So more of a "change the names on the fly" thing than "fix the names"
[11:23] <awilkins> I know you can change workspace names, just don't see a way to do it included with Unity
[11:31] <popey> dont think so
[12:08] <ali1234> what is oneconf and why does it crash so much?
[12:11] <ali1234> why is it even running if it is only used by the software centre?
[12:17] <MartijnVdS> isn't oneconf related to Ubuntu One?
[12:17] <MartijnVdS> which was shut down a few days ago.. or supposed to anyway
[12:52] <ali1234> i dunno. it is only used by the software center so i just uninstalled it
[13:37] <diddledan> morning
[13:50] <foobarry> xfce has a gnome shell type activity dash
[13:50] <foobarry> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_LAuVgVzClA/U7VAD6U_UfI/AAAAAAAATas/HMj_UL3PJ0w/s1600/xfdashboard_1.png
[13:52] <nigelb> why are more things that way o_O
[13:52]  * nigelb hugs awesome 
[13:54] <SuperMatt> nigelb: actually I like things like taht
[13:55] <nigelb> SuperMatt: dash type things?
[13:55] <SuperMatt> yeah
[13:55] <nigelb> I must just be weird :)
[13:56] <SuperMatt> I like to be able to see everything that's running all at once
[13:56] <nigelb> I found most of them have more mouse interaction than keyboard.
[13:56] <nigelb> (that's my one big gripe with unity)
[13:58] <foobarry> been so happy with elementary since the demise of gnome2+docky
[13:58] <foobarry> mixture of bling and functional
[13:58] <foobarry> some people say the same of unity of course
[14:11]  * popey looks forward to Ubuntu MATE Remix arriving
[14:14] <davmor2> popey: see I said you liked stuff from the 80's, next you'll be saying vim or emacs instead of gedit ;)
[14:17] <popey> hehe
[14:23] <diddledan> if you like stuff from the 80s, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oVfIFrpslI
[14:23] <diddledan> I think that's awesome video
[14:24] <diddledan> love the remixed music
[14:25] <davmor2> diddledan: some people have too much time on their hands
[14:25] <diddledan> hehe
[14:36] <brobostigon> is there a way to push log file changes to my droid?
[14:38] <davmor2> I think I might be watching the epic film with the line "It's 106 Miles to Chicago, got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing Sunglasses" tonight talking about 80's stuff :)
[14:40] <diddledan> blues brothers?
[14:40] <davmor2> diddledan: Indeed
[14:40] <diddledan> \o/
[14:42] <davmor2> diddledan: that or the one with the Yello song throughout
[14:50] <Laney> bah
[14:50] <Laney> spotify have broken their apt repo
[14:50] <brobostigon> wooops
[14:50] <Laney> wtf
[14:51] <Laney> it's downloading some facebook html
[14:51] <nigelb> lol
[14:53] <mapps> wokeup at like 9am to my old dell making a horrendous noise again:D
[14:54] <bashrc> fan trouble?
[14:55] <mapps> no idea
[14:56] <mapps> fans all going fine
[14:56] <mapps> not sure what the hell it is
[14:56] <mapps> is http://frogs.zapto.org working? and also https://frogs.zapto.org
[14:56] <mapps> strange IP i've got..starting with 2
[14:56] <mapps> :D
[14:56] <mapps> 2.217.141.108
[15:01] <diddledan> mapps: apparently the internet is full
[15:01] <mapps> yes
[15:01] <mapps> :D
[15:01] <mapps> thanks
[15:01] <diddledan> consider me well and truly fscked off
[15:01] <mapps> like my photography
[15:02] <mapps> my cats on the sofa
[15:02] <mapps> ;]
[15:02] <diddledan> I'm not sure, but has that been photoshopped at all?
[15:02] <mapps> heh
[15:02] <mapps> clearly :P
[15:02] <diddledan> I thought so, I could tell from the pixels
[15:02] <mapps> obv you knew heh , its off @lsdcats on twitter
[15:02] <mapps> lol
[15:04] <diddledan> the https version seems to be timing out
[15:04] <mapps> oh no
[15:05] <mapps> gah
[15:05] <mapps> if anyone has a spare few mins can they have a look at : https://forums.openvpn.net/topic16251.html - basically had this issue for ages..asked on the forum before..in #openvpn and #openvpn-as seached google and got nowhere
[15:06] <mapps> cant see what i'm doing wrong..and if nothing..how noone else has had this issue..or not mentioned it=[
[15:12] <diddledan> no idea
[15:12] <mapps> argh!
[15:12] <mapps> its kinda annoying as you can imagine if you read the post:)
[15:27] <diddledan> it 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-art
[15:27] <ujjain> Is 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 day
[15:28] <diddledan> i.e. if this journo thought something was up why didn't he speak out?!
[15:28] <diddledan> as to the portrait of the queen it's actually quite good
[15:29] <diddledan> ujjain: craigslist?
[15:29] <diddledan> ujjain: you could offer some sexual favours to ensure it gets accepted
[15:30] <diddledan> (is craigslist still the bottomhole of society's escorts?)
[15:50] <bashrc> the rofl harris thing is just sad
[15:52] <foobarry> newspapers are sad too
[15:52] <foobarry> s/sad/evil
[15:53] <bashrc> yet another celebrity child abuser.  I'm beginning to see a pattern emerging
[15:55] <diddledan> pretty much anyone who was anyone from the 80s is indicted it seems
[15:56] <diddledan> except the hoff
[15:56] <Myrtti> the best place to hide is in plain sight
[15:56] <diddledan> because he's the hoff
[16:37] <mapps> bashrc yep
[16:37] <mapps> thing is, these celebs are untouchable at first. it seems treated liker royalty
[16:38] <mapps> young girls throw themselves at them and these vile animals abuse that
[16:38] <bashrc> I think the take home message is that celebrity is a sort of power, and people with power often abuse it in a variety of ways
[16:39] <mapps> diddledan craigslis and gumtree are fraudster central arent they? prob people selling blocked phones and ythe like
[16:39] <mapps> people asking for western union payments etc lol
[16:39] <mapps> whatever it is, disgusting pathetic men
[16:40] <mapps> sad 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 time
[16:47] <bashrc> I 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 managers
[16:48] <bashrc> it's possible that if there hadn't been quite such a deferent attitude then some of those folks would not have had multi-decade careers
[16:51] <popey> http://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-remix-alpha1/
[16:51] <popey> :D
[16:52] <mapps> yea bashrc celebs can do no wrong kinda thing
[16:53] <mapps> going to Riga in 7 weeks :)
[16:54] <diddledan> https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/your-android-device-telling-world-where-youve-been
[16:55] <mapps> 2 euros a pint i can afford that!
[16:56] <diddledan> I'd prefer the reverse: two pints a euro
[16:56] <diddledan> :-p
[16:56] <mapps> heh
[16:56] <mapps> still its like 1.59
[16:56] <mapps> makes it ok when they expect a tip!!
[16:57] <mapps> £44 flight there
[16:57] <mapps> so cheap
[16:57] <mapps> but 115 return some reason
[17:04] <Azelphur> I wonder if google play uses a shipping method that does saturday shipping
[17:07] <mapps> travelling with just hand luggage is so easy..can fit my nexus7/netbook and enough clothes for a week dunno why people take a suitcase for 7 days
[17:07] <mapps> isnt it parcel force
[17:07] <mapps> what you ordering Azelphur
[17:07] <Azelphur> the G Watch :)
[17:08] <diddledan> Azelphur: <3
[17:08] <diddledan> Azelphur: I want one, too
[17:08] <Azelphur> hehe
[17:09] <diddledan> Azelphur: they ship tomorrow, right?
[17:09] <Azelphur> diddledan: indeed
[17:09] <diddledan> aah, they've changed it now to "in 1-2 days"
[17:10] <Azelphur> nah, it's a wrangling of wording, they say "ships in 1-2 days"
[17:10] <diddledan> yesterday it was saying the 4th
[17:10] <Azelphur> mines for shipment on the 4th
[17:10] <Azelphur> mine still says Status: To be dispatched from warehouse on 04/07/2014
[17:10] <mapps> how much are they
[17:11] <diddledan> mapps: 159: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=lg_g_watch_black
[17:11] <mapps> ah not too much
[17:11] <mapps> no good for me tho
[17:12] <mapps> iphone 5s;p
[17:14] <diddledan> stuff magazine is going to drop scantily-clad women from their cover
[17:58] <diddledan> sophie e b does dolly parton's jolene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=E6MdiDvLeSw
[17:59] <daftykins> i need to stand next to her so i look tanned
[17:59] <diddledan> heh
[18:00] <popey> i quite liked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw
[18:01] <diddledan> popey: I'm assuming that's before miley went nuts?
[18:01] <popey> ya
[18:02] <diddledan> she's much better when she's not being outrageous
[18:05] <davmor2> popey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6H4r1kWqSM
[18:06] <davmor2> popey: amazing how similarly their voices pitch
[18:19] <davmor2> bigcalm: you need an excuse to be a lazy developer? Just Don't work all day that should make you a lazy dev ;)
[20:35] <diddledan> how 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 server
[20:35] <diddledan> I 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 backasswards
[20:36] <ali1234> it means your config is messed up
[20:37] <diddledan> it was working fine until just now tho
[20:37] <diddledan> I've not changed anything
[20:37] <ali1234> there is a hotkey to lock to one display
[20:37] <ali1234> but i thought it was disabled by default
[20:37] <ali1234> but like i said... synergy is really buggy
[22:45] <diddledan> yikes, I've not blogged in ages
[22:45] <diddledan> my last entry is from december
