| SuperEngineer | whoop! jkust solved weekend tak no. 1 - how to gwt Epson XP412 working as a scanner :) | 11:28 |
| SuperEngineer | simples... stick an SD card in it - instantly recognized [when commected via USB] - scan to that... | 11:29 |
| SuperEngineer | ...then print directly from the file on the SD solved! | 11:30 |
| SuperEngineer | who needs risky config changes when the brain switches to common sense mode? ;) | 11:30 |
| SuperEngineer | [and to spell that first line correctly seems just too much extra work for the brain!] | 11:31 |
| SuperEngineer | whoop! just solved weekend task no. 1 - how to get Epson XP412 working as a scanner ... again, simples when you apply the full brain - even to keyboarding :D | 11:33 |
| penguin42 | http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1987249.htm what an offer! | 11:46 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Oh that's a nice way of doing it | 11:47 |
| popey | penguin42: I'll take two! | 12:01 |
| SuperEngineer | :) | 12:19 |
| * SuperEngineer thinksof sending Argos 75 no-pounds for their wonderful no-product... it'll save some poor sod being called in at the weekend if they think it's working ;) | 12:29 | |
| * SuperEngineer now contemplates weekend task no. 2 - see if I can get WinXp disk to boot from the USB external caddy | 12:34 | |
| SuperEngineer | [disk is from the old dual boot pc that this pooter replaced] | 12:34 |
| SuperEngineer | ALL advice/warnings pre-attempt gratefully recieved | 12:34 |
| SuperEngineer | [after the F1 live qualifying has finished, of course] ;) | 12:37 |
| * SuperEngineer reboots pooter to have a quick try inbtween Q2 & Q3... fingers crossed | 12:43 | |
| MonsterKiller | Anyone able to help with using parted? I've got a new 4TB HDD and am trying to set it up with parted, but after creating the partition fdisk complains "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary." (its shows start as 1). However, i used "mkpart primary 1049kB 4.00TB" | 14:43 |
| * SuperEngineer ponders the meaning of "lif" | 15:03 | |
| SuperEngineer | & thinks, well the 'trying old XP disk via USB caddy experiment failed | 15:03 |
| SuperEngineer | ...It may well have failed but - having survived so long without any Win [ever since 14.04 ;) ] - who needs it!? | 15:04 |
| SuperEngineer | ...but oh so many wins [no pun] whilst trying - and reasons Windows no longer needed... | 15:05 |
| SuperEngineer | - Games... Dear Ester is a cow to run on Ubuntu... installed Mint on a miniture partition: problem solved | 15:06 |
| SuperEngineer | - SD card reader [internal connected never worked on this new home built pooter, it does now! ;) | 15:07 |
| SuperEngineer | ...I could continue but why bore you | 15:07 |
| SuperEngineer | ...but sooo many wins along that long, dusty, fruitless road | 15:07 |
| shauno | the civilization pre-sale isn't on linux/mac :( | 15:08 |
| SuperEngineer | Translation - I guess I'm pretty darn satisfied with Ubuntu 14.04 - | 15:12 |
| SuperEngineer | unity et al | 15:12 |
| * SuperEngineer thanks all devs, testers, hackers, whackers, et al | 15:13 | |
| SuperEngineer | [but I still hate the Ubuntu.com homepage ;) | 15:16 |
| SuperEngineer | Q/ why the download page show amounts you wish to contribute in £ - why is $ the only option? | 15:18 |
| * SuperEngineer loves that smug feeling obtained when paying for Ubuntu [having had no time to even bug hunt pre-release] | 15:35 | |
| penguin42 | it seems to have been a very busy week for job stuff; I've got 3 entirely separate things on linkedin (none of which I'm interested in) | 15:35 |
| ali1234 | Azelphur: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Streaming_using_twitch.tv <- some desktop streaming with ffmpeg. just change it to send to your phone instead of twitch | 15:38 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: why not ask linkedin to implement a useable & anti work cr*p filter? | 15:38 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Well, it's probably the type of thing you'd expect to receive via linkedin, they were actually job ads for things around here in skills that I vaguely know | 15:40 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Not that I'm looking | 15:40 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: ;) | 15:42 |
| SuperEngineer | #Caturday pic.twitter.com/nUjLzbumRC | 15:43 |
| SuperEngineer | just for a little light relief | 15:43 |
| SuperEngineer | & before you pervs complain - look at the top post - not the other stuff! | 15:46 |

| brobostigon | new dr who, 19:50, :) | 18:27 |
| penguin42 | odd time for a timelord don't you think? | 18:35 |
| shauno | isn't that basically the plot? | 18:35 |
| * penguin42 might watch it, I don't normally watch the Dr, but I do like Peter Capaldi generally | 18:41 | |
| SuperEngineer | What a wonderful TV weekend: Dr. Who tonight, rand Prix tomorrow. Who needs sushine on a bank holiday weekend when that's the line up! | 18:42 |
| SuperEngineer | *Grand Prix | 18:42 |
| penguin42 | it's actually been fairly sunny up here, although I don't think it will last | 18:42 |
| shauno | it's a bank holiday?! bugger | 18:42 |
| penguin42 | shauno: Yes it's the late summer bank holiday; as normal too late for summer | 18:43 |
| SuperEngineer | shauno: -it's not technically a bank holiday until Monday | 18:43 |
| SuperEngineer | ...if only someone would tell the banks ;) | 18:43 |
| shauno | more disappointed because I'm waiting for mail | 18:44 |
| SuperEngineer | in the meantime - practice going "dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, wooo-oooooooooooo" | 18:46 |
| shauno | speak of which, what on earth am I watching? | 18:47 |
| SuperEngineer | ...and, at last, it is time - dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm etc. ☺ | 18:52 |
| Myrtti | well my bank holiday weekend started with chipping a tooth. Fortunately pharmacies have those temporary filling kits. | 18:54 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmm. who needs marijuana when you've got Dr. Who! | 20:10 |
| zmoylan-1i | a dr. who fan with ms? | 20:12 |
