[10:41] morning [10:44] * penguin42 yaaawwwnnns at popey [10:54] good evening all :) [11:22] hi, are three known issues with Skype on Ubuntu since yesterday? I'm on an old, unsupported, version of Ubuntu (13.04) which may not help - but just wondered if there is any known issue? [11:24] this looks relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/505581/skype-cant-connect [11:26] you may want to consider updating ☻ [11:32] popey: yes, I'd like to update the OS - but there are some reasons I have to be on this version right now [11:32] I've upgraded Skype and all is working again now [11:32] I hate Skype. [11:37] I need to try again to convince the office to use HipChat instead [11:56] I'm sorry to bug everyone, but is there a way to get unbanned from #ubuntu? [11:56] OERIAS: join #ubuntu-ops [11:56] I was using a PC infect with some script and it was causing a mess and know I can't event suport. [11:58] that's not what happened, but "ok" join #ubuntu-ops and talk to the operator team [14:05] hello [14:06] i am having trouble with my 9800pro card in ubuntu 14.04 [17:01] today's trip by bike took me to the island's main reservoir [17:02] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kvheyaiouw9igff/AACEP0YEbAfrkNIvE05eQeMja [17:36] anyone ever encountered business-card like printers? my friends run an art gallery and could do with something to print the little cards beneath pictures [17:38] some of the label printers can do something that wide I think, not sure about actual business cards though [17:39] I've also printed bottle labels before from a roll of self adhesive labels on a sprocket roll [17:39] hmm, i'm used to the little Dymo label printer jobs but of course they're on those yeah and not card [17:43] I'd be tempted to find a straight path printer that could print A4 card and then take a scalpel or guillotine to it [17:45] i think they may well have been doing something similar so far [17:45] but probably want to simplify [17:46] I wonder if you can get card that's perforated to make it easy [17:46] or maybe the photo printers? [17:47] http://global.dymo.com/enGB/Categories/Business_Card_Readers.html [17:47] i've just complained to Dymo for having an automated non-stoppable video on that page :P [17:47] yeh annoying [17:47] also, that's a reader not a printer [17:47] yeah, just browsing :> [17:47] i was curious how they could sell a device to read paper [17:48] because they're selling it to execs who have too many business cards and nothing else to spend their expenses on [17:50] 'tis what my boss' secretary is for :D [17:50] "add that guy to my contacts will you?" [17:53] presumably most discussions go 'wth do you want that for? Oh ok, if you scan my set as well' [17:54] :D [18:53] just reported an issue with the edX website :) [19:18] daftykins what about just using some service always see ads fr some compan doing cards [19:18] cant remember name tho of course now [19:19] well they're an art gallery so creating them would be an ad-hoc activity [19:20] /etc pronounced 'etsy' huh? i always thought of it as etcetera :> [19:20] aha [19:21] hahahahah yea ive heard it as etsy [19:21] id say eeee teee sea [19:21] lol [19:21] that too :D [19:21] etsy sounds odd (to me) [19:23] like when i heard dub dub dub for www [19:23] lol [19:24] *shudder* [19:24] yea its odd [19:24] i avoid saying them :> [19:24] il still say eeeeee teaaaaaa seaaaa [19:24] lol [19:24] not been relevant for correctly configured domains for ages [19:24] it annoys me when i find a site that doesn't work without [19:24] http://condorferries.co.uk/ ;) [19:26] daftykins: if they are on a budget, perhaps they could print on over-sized labels that are then wrapped around a piece of card? [19:27] I'm sure that there are machines that do what they want - but they might be somewhat expensive [19:27] yeah i didn't have much luck finding, i'd have just said get a dymo label printer then stick the labels on card [19:27] thanks :) [19:28] ya its pretty lame daftykins [19:28] * penguin42 would print on card and guillotine it [19:28] I suppose it all depends what they are willing to pay and what level of quality they want [19:28] might even make sense to outsource it to a local printer [19:29] like uh its lame seeing somepage.php?abc=a&&axya=aaa [19:29] so web 1.0 [19:29] :D [19:29] http://better/to/see/nice/urls [19:29] :) [19:30] did web 1.0 have PHP? :p [19:30] maybe web 1.1 :p [19:30] teehee [19:30] so what is it now? [19:32] daftykins: http://www.simoney.co.uk/a4-perforated-sheets-acetate-name-badges.html [19:32] mm-hmm, that could work with an inkjet [19:33] penguin42: ty sir :) [19:34] daftykins: There seem to be other places selling heavier/lighter weight - that one looks to be about twice the weight of normal laser printer [19:37] daftykins: ah, much easier? http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=cpc/425036.xml [19:38] good ol' CPC :> [19:38] so if their inkjet would deal with the layout, that could work [19:38] daftykins: Nod, I love how their discount catalogues have things like really specialised components on the same page as singing snowmen and office supplies [19:40] lol [19:41] I mean http://cpc.farnell.com/images/en_CC/RHPR_July14.pdf [19:42] penguin42: :D must be to reduce depression in employees browsing them ;) [19:42] even the front page; where else would you find a combi drill, a Galaxy Tab, plug extension, car camera and bottle of screen wash on one page? [19:43] actually that's a good catalog because they're trying to get rid of all the football junk [19:44] lol [19:44] 80p for a 2m HDMI! [19:44] USB microscope, DECT phone, HD+ cam corder, England Stetson hat, and HDMI adapter [19:44] daftykins: Yeh if you want leads CPC is the place [19:44] daftykins: Free delivery as well [19:44] daftykins: But the prices are ex-vat [19:45] yeah i have an account, i have to phone order to get tax off :> [19:46] :D [20:11] ugh party with terrible singing going on behind my place :P [20:13] go and offer better singing? [20:14] i can't show them up ;) [20:16] https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7x8bauvqhcis3e/coursemounting.JPG [20:16] this seems like a bit of a repeat no? mounting root (/) yet again [20:16] no [20:17] daftykins: initramfs mounts the / somewhere underneath the current / and then 'pivots' it so that the place it mounted becomes the real root [20:17] oh i see [20:17] daftykins: see man 2 pivot_root [20:17] ty sir [20:18] what does 'man 2' do over 'man' ? [20:18] that reads the entry in section 2 (system calls) [20:19] daftykins: Actually man 8 pivot_root includes an example [20:19] hmm [20:19] hopefully updating ios will fix my vpn issues [20:20] Apple.. fix things!? [20:24] this married show is quite funny [22:58] heylo [23:00] hey [23:33] dissapointing [23:34] ios update didnt fix vpn prob === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
