| diddledan | is it morning yet? | 02:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | nope | 02:21 |
| diddledan | grr | 02:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | perfect time to work on your doomsday device :-) | 02:24 |
| diddledan | does ubuntu-touch count? | 02:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | no, that's just a weapon of mass distraction | 02:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | but if you get os/2 working on a phone... | 02:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | at the very least it would annoy the buggery out of ms as it becomes more popular than winphone :-p | 02:27 |
| diddledan | well wouldn't my one install achieve the "more popular than winphone" milestone? | 02:41 |
| diddledan | I just had a rant on the ubuntu-phone mailing list :-p | 02:41 |
| diddledan | https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg09629.html | 02:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah, it needs a few million and you should never underestimate the os/2 holdouts | 02:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have fond memories of it and if someone got one working i'd be seriously tempted | 02:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | till thenm, waiting for firefoxos to make it to ireland | 02:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | and it would set the nsa back decades trying to write malware for it :-) | 03:01 |

| foobarry | yep | 09:54 |

| awilkins | Ooh, shiny | 09:55 |
| foobarry | brother in law makes games for EA | 09:55 |
| awilkins | Did she get to play Elite Dangerous on Rift? | 09:55 |
| awilkins | Or just EA games? | 09:55 |
| foobarry | i think she was running around in a cartoon | 09:55 |
| foobarry | they have it at their house | 09:55 |
| awilkins | The only thing stopping me getting a DK2 is the inevitable prospect of buyers remorse when the CV1 is released | 09:56 |
| awilkins | I built one of those DIY headtrackers from an Arduino and it adds some very pleasing immersion to the game | 09:57 |

| SuperMatt | are you feeling calm today? | 10:05 |
| popey | yo | 10:05 |
| bigcalm | Having had Monday off, quite calm. Except we went to IKEA yesterday for 4+ hours | 10:06 |
| bigcalm | We are quite mad | 10:06 |
| smittix | Morning all :D | 10:23 |
| directhex | is it? | 10:23 |
| bigcalm | For a little longer | 10:28 |

| popey | ☹ desktop swap-death | 10:45 |
| awilkins | Swap file dead? | 10:46 |
| awilkins | Swapped a desktop and it's dead? | 10:46 |
| popey | no, 8GB RAM, 2.8GB swap consumed | 10:46 |
| popey | now it's completely unresponsive | 10:46 |
| popey | disk light on# | 10:46 |
| * popey REISUBS | 10:47 | |
| awilkins | Is REISUB more reliable on PS/2 or USB? | 10:47 |
| directhex | swap is so useless on modern systems | 10:47 |
| directhex | if you don't plan on using suspend-to-disk (hibernate) it's more harmful than helpful | 10:48 |
| awilkins | I tend to agree, although I do occasionally run processes that benefit from it (even with 8GB of RAM) | 10:48 |
| awilkins | Things like repacking certain Git repos with large files in them | 10:48 |
| foobarry | Myrtti: wife's first output from the spinning wheel was 2 large cushions for the kids to watch TV. they are natural colours, undyed. http://i.imgur.com/fUWDG72.jpg | 10:52 |

| SuperMatt | foobarry: how dare you suggest that humans are somehow related to apes! | 13:04 |
| foobarry | actually i realised that link was a bit racist | 13:05 |
| SuperMatt | I hadn't noticed that | 13:06 |
| SuperMatt | I was just trying to stir a little something :P | 13:06 |
| awilkins | Grrrrarrgh Windows Powershell - an entirely true statement | 13:15 |
| awilkins | (Windows Powers hell) | 13:15 |
| directhex | at least powershell has an "ls" command | 13:15 |
| awilkins | A shell where you have to mess around for over an hour to get it to pass arguments to another program... not worthy of being called a "shell". | 13:15 |
| awilkins | Still not worked out the convolutions it wants | 13:15 |
| awilkins | The "ls" command is an alias for `get-childitem` | 13:16 |
| awilkins | They removed the alias for "grep" being "select-string" | 13:16 |
| SuperMatt | surely it's a shell so you can add it back | 13:17 |
| awilkins | Yes | 13:17 |
| awilkins | But it's making me very cross | 13:17 |
| awilkins | Why is it so hard to pass arguments to another program from it | 13:18 |
| awilkins | So hard, that someone has created a debug tool that echoes the arguments to STDOUT | 13:18 |
| awilkins | So you can debug it | 13:18 |
| SuperMatt | lawl | 13:19 |
| awilkins | Currently I can get the first three args then it smushes the rest all together into one arg, for some unknown reason only it is privy to | 13:19 |
| SuperMatt | awilkins: have you tried turning it off and on again? | 13:31 |
| awilkins | Ok, it's something to do with using variables in argument lists | 13:34 |
| awilkins | If you replace one with a literal that isn't smushed into the list any more | 13:34 |
| awilkins | >-< | 13:35 |
| awilkins | If you insert a literal into the middle of the list of variables... it writes the variables as a single smushed arg ... then it writes the literal at the end | 13:35 |
| awilkins | Apparently it was my tragic conviction that doStuff(1, 2, 3) was a reasonable way to call a function | 14:00 |
| awilkins | Powershell assumes you mean an array if you use commas so doStuff(1,2, 3) == doStuff new Array { 1, 2, 3 } | 14:00 |
| awilkins | And doesn't throw an error if you pass an array to a parameter set as [String], just casts the array to a string and ignores that the other two params are empty | 14:01 |
| awilkins | doStuff 1 2 3 # is of course the correct way and I am chastened | 14:01 |
| diddledan | awilkins, bash does functions that way too | 15:03 |
| awilkins | Guess I don't do functions in shell scripts enough | 15:04 |
| awilkins | I mostly pipe and look an | 15:04 |
| awilkins | loop | 15:04 |
| awilkins | And set variables | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | ugh what a failure | 15:35 |
| Myrtti | why does any small electronics device manufacturer ever bother with power sources with the round plug? | 15:37 |
| awilkins | Because you need something to power your USB hub with that isn't a USB hub? | 15:45 |
| awilkins | (Ok, you could power it with a USB charger) | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | Sorry, I'm just disappointed at the Gramofon, which comes with a EU powersource and a weird ass looking adapter. | 15:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | because someone is still making those power adapters and selling them cheap? | 15:47 |
| Myrtti | *sigh* | 15:47 |
| directhex | because not everything runs off 3.3V | 15:51 |
| ali1234 | so gramofon is a chromecast with line out instead of HDMI... | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | (in case anyone was wondering) | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | and it costs $60 if you pre-order it, or $100 if you want until it is actually finished | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro%C2%AE-AV-Pro-Audio-Extractor-3-5mm/dp/B00ATRH2WS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1409068681&sr=8-4&keywords=hdmi+audio+splitter | 15:59 |
| ali1234 | combine with a chromecast and you get the same thing, for less, and it runs off USB power | 15:59 |
| ali1234 | and you can actually buy it today | 15:59 |
| Myrtti | I bought it mainly as a Fonera | 16:00 |
| Myrtti | we already have a Belkin Bluetooth thing | 16:00 |
| ali1234 | bluetooth audio thing? | 16:01 |
| ali1234 | songstream? | 16:02 |
