xoverukhi12:10
xoverukis anyone using BT Internet?12:10
BigRedSNot this minute but I have it at home12:20
xoverukBigRedS: Do you have any idea how to remove the BTFON network?13:21
xoverukBigRedS: It appears that it was activated without my authorization and ever since I have been unable to get it removed by calling their support centre. There are of course no options on the router to disable it.13:22
MyrttiI can see why you might want to remove it... but... https://www.btfon.com/13:23
xoverukMyrtti: What am I looking at?13:23
Myrttixoveruk: I actually have bought several standalone Fons just to get the world wide wifi for free13:24
MyrttiI've got two new ones coming in Wednesday13:24
Myrttihttps://www.bt.com/wifi/secure/status.do?s_cid=con_FURL_btfon/status13:25
xoverukThat status thing does not work for me because I never opted in.13:25
xoverukI have informed them to disable it on my router and now they claim it takes 20 days to deactive.13:26
popeyI ♥ fon13:26
penguin42Myrtti: You say standalone fon's - can you do that in the UK for non-BT users?13:26
Myrttiyup13:27
Myrttitechnically atleast13:27
penguin42how much does it cost?13:28
Myrttihttps://shop.fon.com/en/products/all13:29
Myrttior https://www.gramofon.com/13:30
penguin42it asks me the country, it doesn't allow uk, england or Geramny, but if I tell it I'm in France it gives me a nice English page telling me it's 39E13:31
penguin42^Geramny^Germany13:31
zmoylan-pimaybe it's under blighty? :-)13:32
penguin42hehe13:32
penguin42and then if I ask it to find a Fon spot it centers it on Madrid; go figure13:32
* zmoylan-pi has fun in ireland finding ireland in drop down lists. ireland, republic of ireland, eire, hibernia and one northern ireland site irish free state :-p13:33
penguin42https://corp.fon.com/en/maps  is fun - you can see all the individual users I think and see basically population density13:34
penguin42curious distribution; mainly europe, japan, with a few other scattered bits13:36
Myrttihttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon/gramofon-modern-cloud-jukebox I participated early13:36
zmoylan-pifrequency based?13:36
shaunozmoylan-pi: it's not much more fun trying to pick out uk/gb/britain/england/etc13:36
zmoylan-piand i'm also a fan of alphabetical lists with 1-2 locations not in alphabetical order at the top.  makes my ocd so happy that does :-)13:39
shaunohttp://www.ibtimes.co.uk/massive-sinkhole-appears-county-durham-england-1462367  is it just me, or is the photo they're using for that .. China?13:40
zmoylan-pijust how deep is it?!?!13:41
popeydo people actually call it County Durham13:46
popeyhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2732531/Terrifying-sinkhole-100ft-wide-appears-overnight-Pennines-s-deep-t-bottom.html is the actual picture13:47
shaunowhy wouldn't they?  that's it's name13:48
popeynot ime13:49
popeyin .ie they tend to say "County N" in England we mostly say "N County"13:49
shaunoright, but this one is actually named county durham13:50
zmoylan-piwell in ireland a few of the counties also have towns cities named the same thing so it prefixes which we mean.  hiberno english thing13:50
popeyjust sounded wierd13:51
popeyMyrtti: does that gramophon have an API?13:52
popey(I mean, for devices, so you're not tied to whatever app they make)13:53
shaunowiki does mention it's the only county in england named the wrong way around.  so I can see why it'd sound weird.  if it was dahn saff it'd be durhamshire instead :)13:54
Myrttipopey: no idea.13:55
zmoylan-pii saw an article over weekend talking about how we would say big red barn and not red big barn as the seond one sounds 'wrong'13:55
popeyheh, yeah, it does.13:55
zmoylan-piwe chose the wrong way because it sounds 'better'13:56
zmoylan-piand when people discuss how awkward the english language can be i always link to this list :-) http://www.livhambrett.com/2013/10/30/the-bandage-was-wound-around-the-wound/13:57
shaunoI gotta say, sticking "galway, county galway" on addresses always feels wrong too.  it feels like I might as well just answer "yes" to county13:57
zmoylan-pigalway is a big county13:58
foobarryarggh.13:58
foobarrywhy has the chromecast button disappeared from the plex app13:58

penguin42shauno: For what?14:40
shaunotrying to add a usb mouse port to my amiga14:41
foobarryi threw away a amiga mouse not long ago14:42
shaunooh I have mice for it.  but they all have balls.  nostalgia does not stretch as far as de-gunking mouse balls14:42
* penguin42 would have thought it would be a USB converter thing to plugin to do that14:44
shaunothere's an inline one that looks like a dongle, but it's very, very picky about which mice it works with14:45
* penguin42 wonders why14:48

shaunoit's supposed to just be any mouse that is ps/2 capable (but usb-plugged).  in reality it seems to work best with beige-era msft intellimouse14:51
shaunoback from the days when you'd pretty much expect a usb mouse to come with a little green ps/2 adaptor14:53
zmoylan-piwhich never worked14:56
shaunohm.  make that a soldering iron and a small saw.  I'm starting to get nervous :/14:57

zmoylan-pinah, we had one day last year where we got a months rain in one day, broke all the records in ireland which as you can imagine was pretty nasty :-)17:07
foobarryyeah, not in volume but in incessant dreary rain from morning till niht17:09
foobarryno let off all day17:09
penguin42I don't think it's rained here yet, which means I should have gone out17:10
DJonesI had to laugh at the BBC website a couple of days ago, one one page they had torrential rain predictions for the public holiday, on a 2nd page they had goverment/health & safety calls to pre-cook BBQ food to avoid food poisoning17:19
