[11:28] <SuperEngineer> whoop! jkust solved weekend tak no. 1 - how to gwt Epson XP412 working as a scanner :)
[11:29] <SuperEngineer> simples... stick an SD card in it - instantly recognized [when commected via USB] - scan to that...
[11:30] <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?  ;)
[11:31] <SuperEngineer> [and to spell that first line correctly seems just too much extra work for the brain!]
[11:33] <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
[11:46] <penguin42> http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1987249.htm      what an offer!
[11:47] <penguin42> SuperEngineer: Oh that's a nice way of doing it
[12:01] <popey> penguin42: I'll take two!
[12:19] <SuperEngineer> :)
[12:29]  * 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 ;)
[12:34]  * 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
[12:37] <SuperEngineer> [after the F1 live qualifying has finished, of course] ;)
[12:43]  * SuperEngineer reboots pooter to have a quick try inbtween Q2 & Q3... fingers crossed
[14:43] <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"
[15:03]  * SuperEngineer ponders the meaning of "lif" 
[15:03] <SuperEngineer> & thinks, well the 'trying old XP disk via USB caddy experiment failed
[15:04] <SuperEngineer> ...It may well have failed but - having survived so long without any Win [ever since 14.04 ;) ] - who needs it!?
[15:05] <SuperEngineer> ...but oh so many wins [no pun] whilst trying - and reasons Windows no longer needed...
[15:06] <SuperEngineer> - Games... Dear Ester is a cow to run on Ubuntu... installed Mint on a miniture partition: problem solved
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <shauno> the civilization pre-sale isn't on linux/mac :(
[15:12] <SuperEngineer> Translation - I guess I'm pretty darn satisfied with Ubuntu 14.04 -
[15:12] <SuperEngineer> unity et al
[15:13]  * SuperEngineer thanks all devs, testers, hackers, whackers, et al
[15:16] <SuperEngineer> [but I still hate the Ubuntu.com homepage ;)
[15:18] <SuperEngineer> Q/ why the download page show amounts you wish to contribute in £ - why is $ the only option?
[15:35]  * 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)
[15:38] <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?
[15:40] <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
[15:42] <SuperEngineer> penguin42: ;)

[15:43] <SuperEngineer> just for a little light relief
[15:46] <SuperEngineer> & before you pervs complain - look at the top post - not the other stuff!
[16:10] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[16:12] <penguin42> Hey BC
[18:27] <brobostigon> new dr who, 19:50, :)
[18:35] <penguin42> odd time for a timelord don't you think?
[18:35] <shauno> isn't that basically the plot?
[18:41]  * penguin42 might watch it, I don't normally watch the Dr, but I do like Peter Capaldi generally
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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 ;)
[18:44] <shauno> more disappointed because I'm waiting for mail
[18:46] <SuperEngineer> in the meantime - practice going "dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, dur-ummm dur-uummmm, wooo-oooooooooooo"
[18:47] <shauno> speak of which, what on earth am I watching?
[18:52] <SuperEngineer> ...and, at last, it is time - dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm,dur-ummm dur-uummmm etc.  ☺
[18:54] <Myrtti> well my bank holiday weekend started with chipping a tooth. Fortunately pharmacies have those temporary filling kits.
[20:10] <SuperEngineer> hmmm.  who needs marijuana when you've got Dr. Who!
[20:12] <zmoylan-1i> a dr. who fan with ms?
