[10:53] <penguin42> hmm
[10:54] <zmoylan-pi> and our avian comrades as well of course :-p
[10:55]  * penguin42 hands zmoylan-pi a herring
[10:56] <zmoylan-pi> hands over a kipper in mark of mutual respect
[10:59] <popey> pip pip
[11:28] <SuperEngineer> SuperEngineer is on 2 weks leave - coincidence that the sun has started shining?  Nah!
[11:29] <zmoylan-pi> first week of september is often sunny to annoy the kids going back to school :-)
[11:29] <zmoylan-pi> sitting in class after wet summer looking outside at sun beating down to start crushing their spirits at a young age :-)
[11:34] <SuperEngineer> [every 1st week in September I wave at every location that might have a school - laughing on my way to havivng some fun.
[11:35] <popey> our kids go back soon
[11:35] <popey> not soon enough
[11:35] <SuperEngineer> ;)
[11:37] <foobarry> "Take an extra 40% off ANY subscription on Zinio.com!"
[11:37] <zmoylan-pi> run past with ballons and giant inflatable toy :-)
[11:37] <foobarry> zinio have big offer on atm if you don't really care about read your magz when the company goes away
[11:37] <Myrtti> "when the company goes away" :-D
[11:38] <foobarry> it was offline over the weekend and i couldn't even read my offline magz
[11:41] <popey> nice
[11:42] <foobarry> feel like there's no other option for online mag reading
[11:42] <foobarry> (legal)
[11:42] <zmoylan-pi> online mag reading... isn't that the internet? :-)
[11:42] <Myrtti> foobarry: Google News & Magazines
[11:42] <foobarry> i tend to rad niche non tech mags
[11:43] <Myrtti> https://play.google.com/store/newsstand
[11:43] <foobarry> google mags doesn't have any good ones
[11:43]  * SuperEngineer prepares to do list of "things that I *must* pack"... includes netbook
[11:44] <SuperEngineer> well it is a UUPC week :D
[11:45] <zmoylan-pi> phone, phone charger, phone booster battery pack, netbook, netbook charger, 1 pair underwear and a hammer
[11:46] <penguin42> don't forget the gaffer tape
[11:46] <popey> "niche non-tech mags"
[11:46] <popey> uh-huh
[11:46] <zmoylan-pi> nah the hammer is make sure the underwear still bend on day 7 :-D
[11:46] <popey> hah
[11:47] <foobarry> popey: modelling but plastic ones , not ladies
[11:47] <popey> noted
[11:47] <foobarry> oh, that sounds even worse
[11:47] <zmoylan-pi> at least not a trainspotter
[11:51] <SuperEngineer> I like the hammer idea... so much lighter than the mallet I was going to take in case anybody asked me "while you're here - could fix my pooter"!
[11:58] <ali1234> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1363975
[11:58] <ali1234> i just made that :)
[12:00] <ali1234> oops wrong channel, derp
[12:00] <popey> ☻
[12:16] <penguin42> oh that's quite neat actually
[12:16] <switchtehbeat> hi, there. :)
[12:19] <ali1234> popey: what is unity_gtk_shell_menu?
[12:19] <ali1234> is it related to appmenus (global menu) or HUD?
[12:19] <popey> dunno
[12:19] <popey> probably
[12:19] <ali1234> it's definitely one or the other
[12:20] <ali1234> zero hits on google for unity_gtk_shell_menu
[12:20] <zmoylan-pi> google isn't what it used to be
[12:21] <ali1234> i have a feeling that the HUD integration patches are crashing thunar now
[12:21] <ali1234> we already fixed the crashes caused by the global menu inegration hacks
[12:21] <zmoylan-pi> i recently had to switch away from unity as he bugs were getting weirder
[12:22] <ali1234> yeah the thing is you only have to have unity installed, and it patches your gtk to hell :)
[12:22] <ali1234> and then all other desktops break really bad
[13:51] <foobarry> is there a tune that sounds like gentle ben tune but isn't?
[13:51] <foobarry> i was whistling it absent mindedly, but when i checked on youtube it was a bit different
[14:18] <ali1234> it sounds a bit like the music from ocarina of time
[14:20] <ali1234> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uInmFU6JkU
[14:33] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[14:37] <davmor2> bigcalm: where in the world have you been you slacker ;)
[14:39] <bigcalm> davmor2: burred under 1s and 0s
[14:39] <bigcalm> I'm hoping to make it to the LUG this week though
[14:40] <davmor2> I'm not even thinking that far ahead ;)
[15:09] <directhex> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6irAa6sZSsU
[15:12] <bigcalm> I really should do something with my RPi
[15:14] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm: suggestion for something to do with it - send it to me [pretty please] ;)
[15:14] <bigcalm> SuperEngineer: and what will you do with it?
[15:15] <SuperEngineer> 1/ enjoy the fact that you paid for the postage
[15:15] <SuperEngineer> 2/ learn
[15:15] <SuperEngineer> 3/ say thankyou
[15:16] <SuperEngineer> 4/ refund the postage ;)
[15:16] <SuperEngineer> [& buy you a beer or two]
[15:16] <bigcalm> Ha
[15:16] <bigcalm> Learn what?
[15:16] <SuperEngineer> dunno - ain't got one
[15:17] <SuperEngineer> suggest
[15:17] <bigcalm> It's just a linux capable machine. One can do everything that you can do on the RPi on a desktop machine
[15:18] <SuperEngineer> what - you mean it doesn't windoze?!
[15:18] <SuperEngineer> ;)
[15:20] <bigcalm> Apparently one can... http://www.raspberrypi.org/tag/windows/
[15:20] <SuperEngineer> wow - now I *am* surprised!
[15:23] <mapps> hm
[15:23] <mapps> gbraltar ore expensive than i thought
[15:23] <mapps> gonna be paying £733 each for a 2bed apt;/
[15:23] <SuperEngineer> however - if I ever did have one - I'm sure all I would do with it was stuff a couple of old time games on it - carry it around with me - and watch people's jaws drop ;)
[15:24] <SuperEngineer> mapps: why not try Malta instead - used to be a lot better value
[15:24] <mapps> well
[15:24] <mapps> il be working in gib
[15:24] <mapps> so cant really :)
[15:24] <mapps> for 6-12 months
[15:25] <mapps> company paying £500 rent allowance per month though
[15:25] <mapps> and 8% payrise
[15:25] <SuperEngineer> hmmmm - slight fail in my suggestion there then ;)
[15:25] <mapps> they will provide free accomodation BUT its 15min taxi from gib border and 30min walk
[15:25] <mapps> id prefer the 500quid towards rent
[15:26] <SuperEngineer> do you mind commuting?  there's always the "rent in Spain - work in Gibralta" option
[15:26] <SuperEngineer> if you don't mind border queues
[15:26] <mapps> thats what work provide -- see above
[15:26] <mapps> for free..but i dont want it
[15:27] <mapps> its too far imo 15min taxi every day from apartment to border..and border to apartment
[15:27] <mapps> 30min walk or taxi from border to apartment
[15:27] <SuperEngineer> oh well
[15:27] <mapps> kinda tempting to go permanent
[15:27] <mapps> they'll pay 500 quid for rent allowance and 8% rise forever
[15:28] <mapps> so almost living rent free
[15:28] <SuperEngineer> [& there's me thinking I had a quiet week coz I didn't do more than 400 miles on any day last week
[15:28] <bigcalm> Is the move to Gibraltar a big one?
[15:29] <foobarry> bigcalm: tried native riscos?
[15:29] <mapps> not really..il be leaving most here
[15:29] <foobarry> onthe pi
[15:29] <mapps> just taking suitcase and hang luggage
[15:29] <mapps> should be back in 6months
[15:29] <mapps> or 12monthd
[15:29] <foobarry> they have M&S out there
[15:30] <foobarry> so everything you need
[15:30] <mapps> :D
[15:30] <bigcalm> foobarry: I haven't, but I want to now. I had several Archimedes in my teens
[15:30] <SuperEngineer> [those underpants are gonna be lethal weapons by the end of that time with only a suitcase worth of luggage]
[15:31] <SuperEngineer> use the M&S
[15:31] <mapps> lol
[15:32] <bigcalm> foobarry: seeing the icons in the web page is giving me wonderful nostalgia
[15:32] <shauno_> SuperEngineer: that's what I've done .. RetroPi & a wireless gamepad.  makes for a very tidy way to hide my sins behind the TV
[15:33] <shauno_> I still find it astounding you can fit your entire childhood on an SD card
[15:33] <SuperEngineer> shauno_: so send me yours - save bigcalm the postage ;)
[15:34] <SuperEngineer> ...and if anybody is about to suggest the "buy your own" option..............
[15:35] <SuperEngineer> servermsg: [continuation of that has been deleted for reasons of decency]
[15:37] <mapps> http://www.golden-goose-method.com/?id=bd487d&sub=prpoauk_1164
[15:37] <mapps> love that video lol
[15:38] <bigcalm> SuperEngineer: you've got a decent job with RackSpace. I'm sure you could afford one
[15:39] <mapps> i went to see FC Jumula v Ventriplils last thursday and lol top league..under 100 people there...and free
[15:40] <mapps> when i went to buy a ticket the girl on reception laughed 'nono is free' ;
[15:40] <mapps> :D
[15:40] <shauno_> I thought that was the other Super*
[15:41] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm: the reason I could afford such things is because I try to get peeps to give me theirs F.O.C. ;)
[15:41] <mapps> yet the match is streamed on bookmakers sites around the world...£120000 matched on over 3.5 goals at half time
[15:41] <mapps> so strange
[15:41] <bigcalm> SuperEngineer: the B+ has just come out, get one of those :)
[15:41] <SuperEngineer> ....but yeah, apart from the emplotyer, you're right
[15:41] <bigcalm> Doh, sorry
[15:42]  * bigcalm scratches head
[15:42] <bigcalm> I thought you were the same person, hence much confusion
[15:42] <SuperEngineer> just posted this #ubuntu-steam - might be worth posting here as well...
[15:42] <SuperEngineer> ...anybody want a -75% coupon for Dear Esther? I already own it so no good to me - but it runs out tomorrow so you need to use it today!
[15:42] <bigcalm> I have it from a Humble Bundle
[15:43] <Myrtti> bigcalm: Super M a t t vs. SuperEngineer
[15:43] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm: that's whwere I got it as well
[15:45] <SuperEngineer> Myrtti: why would I go into a me vs xxxx battle - I'm so magnanimous & kind it would would hurt me to put the opponant down [but h boy - you'd hear them hit the ground when I did] ;)
[15:46] <Myrtti> ;-)
[15:54] <bigcalm> Is it possible to reverse a YouTube playlist?
[15:57]  * penguin42 hands bigcalm the mindbleach
[15:57] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm - using a combo of SMPlayer & [playlister of your choice] - i suspect it os
[15:57] <SuperEngineer> *is
[15:58] <bigcalm> Using a chome plugin in chromium, seems to have done the trick
[15:58] <SuperEngineer> cool
[15:59]  * SuperEngineer hugs SMPlayer YouTube Browser
[16:04] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm: a thought - have you got Dear Esther working in 14.04?  It wouldn't install for me cos the libraries are deprecated... all research came up with "iffy" options - late found to be confirmed.
[16:04] <bigcalm> SuperEngineer: haven't tried it since the bundle release
[16:04] <SuperEngineer> [i now have a miniture Mint partition just for Dear Ester lol[
[16:07]  * SuperEngineer knows of someone else on this channel who has been seen on Steam playing it]
[16:09] <SuperEngineer> ... no names mentioned but "he" also has a windows pooter which I suspect is where "he" was playing it...
[16:11] <SuperEngineer> ...or was *he* playing on Mint himself, I wonder
[16:12] <SuperEngineer> [damn - *he*'s not taking the bait]
[16:12] <SuperEngineer> ;)
[16:40] <SuperEngineer> Wondering - what's the *best* [not related to Apple in any way] music download site these days?
[16:41]  * SuperEngineer misses U1 music store - who was it they used, can't remember :(
[16:55] <shauno_> SuperEngineer: 7digital I think ?
[16:56] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: 7 digital
[17:01] <SuperEngineer> cool -thanks
[17:08] <SuperEngineer> thanks shauno_ & davmor2 - that's the one! 20p a track more than avewrage but UK site and legal, non-DRM, non-WMA, non-Ipod. that'll do me fine
[19:36] <foobarry> amazon also , but they don't pay tax :S
[23:20] <doubaco> hey hey, nyone awke?
[23:20]  * penguin42 yaaawwwnns
[23:20] <doubaco> luxury. i cant even yawn as my lubuntu netbooks no sound
[23:21] <doubaco> i tried volume contol nothing. i tried bbc r4.asx stream nothing, i tried iplayer, nothing.
[23:24] <penguin42> hmm
[23:25] <penguin42> doubaco: Personally I like to use a program called paman to debug sound
[23:27] <doubaco> penguin42: what's paman and how can a noob like me use it?
[23:28] <penguin42> doubaco: Start by installing the paman package - it's a manager for the 'Pulse audio' system that does a lot (but not all) of the audio work
[23:29] <penguin42> doubaco: It's got a GUI and I can talk you through some stuff; if you don't find it with that then you might need to try alsamixer, but start with paman
[23:29] <doubaco> it found it
[23:30] <penguin42> doubaco: So start paman and go to the devices tab, and look at the list of 'sinks' - does it list something like Built-in audio/analog stereo?
