foobarry | my phone is out for delivery so when i see lost guy in the street i keep thinking its him | 08:36 |
shauno | if you see him, it's probably not the delivery guy. they're trained by ninjas to sneak up and slip a 'sorry we missed you' note without you ever spotting them | 08:37 |
foobarry | the first 3 links in the bbc "most read" today are from 2013 and 2012 :S | 08:37 |

brobostigon | hi dutchie | 09:06 |
penguin421 | better, I think | 10:34 |
penguin421 | hmm, not yet | 10:34 |
penguin42 | right | 10:35 |

directhex | apparently nobody's in the market for a used desktop pc. | 11:44 |
penguin42 | the problem is new ones aren't that pricey; what spec? | 11:55 |
foobarry | argh my sim isn't micro. scissors to the rescue | 11:59 |
daftykins | directhex: trying to get rid? :) | 12:03 |
daftykins | foobarry: i hope it's not an iPhone 6 you just got :P | 12:04 |
foobarry | nope... moto | 12:04 |
daftykins | ah-har | 12:05 |
foobarry | i can get 6 moto for 1 ihpone | 12:05 |
daftykins | :D | 12:05 |
daftykins | nice model btw, those tiles look fiddly | 12:05 |
foobarry | :D | 12:05 |
foobarry | ta | 12:05 |
foobarry | tiles were actually moulded as one block | 12:05 |
foobarry | the main issue is a decent paint job | 12:05 |
daftykins | ah i see, so it is to be a model of a rundown building | 12:06 |
foobarry | yes | 12:06 |
foobarry | diorama will have other stuff in it too | 12:06 |
foobarry | maybe creeping vines and a tank | 12:06 |
directhex | daftykins, yes. | 12:06 |
directhex | penguin42, i7 920, 12G DDR3, 240GB SSD, 1TB SSHD | 12:07 |
daftykins | foobarry: :D i look forward to updates | 12:08 |
foobarry | :P | 12:09 |
penguin42 | directhex: Decent spec - how much were you asking for it? | 12:09 |
directhex | penguin42, depends on whether i can find someone who'll take it with no GPU (i'd like to put it in my wife's PC, since she already has the same one, for SLI) | 12:10 |
daftykins | lol SLI | 12:10 |
daftykins | :) | 12:10 |
daftykins | directhex: do you have anything up online about it? i have a friend in England who may know someone | 12:11 |
directhex | daftykins, not yet | 12:11 |
penguin42 | directhex: cex do seem to buy desktops, but I bet they don't pay much | 12:12 |
popey | i wonder if directhex has me on ignore | 12:13 |
penguin42 | directhex: I guess that's probably what - ~400 ? | 12:13 |
popey | i responded twice | 12:13 |
directhex | popey, bah, i need an IRC bouncer :/ | 12:13 |
daftykins | popey also needs to highlight people ;) | 12:13 |
popey | i replied _immediately_ afterwards | 12:14 |
popey | anyone who asks a question then walks away from the screen needs to re-evaluate their IRC use :þ | 12:14 |
popey | by "immediately" I mean "10 mins" ☻ | 12:14 |
penguin42 | popey: Depends on the channel; I know some channels with ~2 hour latency; it might be a challenge to wait that long | 12:15 |
daftykins | hah, sadly that doesn't apply to channels i'm in :( | 12:15 |
directhex | "don't irc if you have a toddler"? | 12:16 |
popey | true dat | 12:16 |
penguin42 | my irc clients have this thing called a scrollbar - great invention | 12:16 |
daftykins | hehe | 12:18 |
daftykins | penguin42: cheeky chappy ;) | 12:18 |

directhex | popey, please repeat your original response to my "pc for sale" query | 13:10 |
popey | lolz | 13:10 |
popey | 18:01:00 < popey> 13:28:34 < popey> possibly | 13:10 |
popey | 18:01:00 < popey> 13:28:41 < popey> wot is it? | 13:10 |
* popey wanders off ㋛ | 13:11 | |
daftykins | XD | 13:13 |
daftykins | i look forward to the conclusion of this transaction in Q1'15 | 13:13 |
shauno | an optimist, I see | 13:14 |
daftykins | :) | 13:14 |
directhex | lian-li PC-B25B; zalman power supply (at least 650W, i'd have to look it up); Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard; Intel Core i7 920, 6x2GB DDR3; LG BD-ROM/DVDRW drive; Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD; Seagate 1TB SSHD | 13:15 |
popey | how much were you looking for? | 13:18 |
directhex | 3-400? i dunno. low hassle is worth a big discount. what does ebay say for the parts? hm... | 13:26 |
directhex | looks like an easy £150 for the cpu+mobo+some ram, few extra quid for the second 6gb, £30 for the case, £75 for the ssd, £50 for the sshd, £40 for the power supply, £25 for the optical drive | 13:31 |
directhex | oh, and there's a windows vista home basic oem license on the back. and i'll toss in windows 7 pro upgrade and windows 8 pro upgrade licenses | 13:31 |
directhex | £300 for the above (please note no GPU) seems fair to me | 13:32 |
directhex | since you could strip & ebay it and turn a profit | 13:32 |

daftykins | new free desk \o/ | 13:47 |
directhex | so much room for activities! | 13:48 |
foobarry | hmmm wish i was in new look with the missis just now. she ordered an item, turns out the wrong one when she went to collect it, they wouldn't refund her, only give a store credit :@ | 13:51 |
foobarry | thats not legal | 13:51 |
foobarry | said the product she ordered wasnt in stock anymore either | 13:52 |
daftykins | directhex: and none to do! \o/ | 13:53 |

ali1234 | omg wtf | 16:53 |
ali1234 | the video overlay key colour used by mplayer conflicts with the green font on nvidia's forums | 16:53 |
ali1234 | so if you have a video playing in the background when you visit it looks like you've got weird font corruption | 16:53 |
zmoylan-pi | they're hoping this will make you buy a new video card? :-) | 16:54 |
directhex | ali1234, who still uses colour key overlay for video playback? ._. | 17:39 |
zmoylan-pi | hardware decoding for dvds? | 17:39 |
ali1234 | directhex: actually turns out it was from flash | 18:00 |
ali1234 | not mplayer | 18:00 |
ali1234 | specifically youtube | 18:01 |
shauno | that doesn't sound right. flash is a bastion of good behaviour and modern design | 18:01 |
daftykins | http://www.twitch.tv/oculus Carmack talking dev | 19:35 |
penguin42 | There was an Oculus in CEX today - I was almost tempted | 19:37 |
popey | yeah, i saw one in cex a few weeks back | 19:37 |
tripleclones | hi all, I'm having some weird issues with a iwl3945 card on a thinkpad t60 running 14.04 - seems to only connect when it wants :( | 19:48 |
daftykins | mmm, pretty old that one | 19:49 |
daftykins | i think i've heard of there being two main drivers available and sometimes the other is the better | 19:49 |
tripleclones | I have tried iwl-legacy as well | 19:49 |
popey | ☹ intel wifi | 19:49 |
tripleclones | yeah | 19:50 |
popey | used to be the benchmark. has gone down hill over the years | 19:50 |
tripleclones | this is a old device, was running 12.04 fine, I've read some people have similar issues on jessy and mint 17 | 19:51 |
daftykins | may as well carry on with 12.04.5 for another 2 years | 19:51 |
tripleclones | thats what I was thinking | 19:51 |
tripleclones | its a family laptop - the way it gets treated 2 years is wishful thinking ;) | 19:52 |
daftykins | hahaha | 19:53 |
daftykins | oh dear | 19:53 |
daftykins | tripleclones: oddly i have the same card in an old sony ultraportable that's working just fine under xubuntu 14.04.1 | 19:54 |
tripleclones | um | 19:54 |
popey | i have the same in my toshiba i think, not had a problem | 19:54 |
daftykins | tripleclones: was it an upgrade? | 19:54 |
popey | daftykins: you watching this carmack thing? | 19:55 |
daftykins | popey: yes sir | 19:55 |
tripleclones | daftykins: yes | 19:55 |
daftykins | i'm no developer, but it's interesting :) | 19:55 |
daftykins | tripleclones: hmm, wouldn't hurt to try a live session if you haven't | 19:56 |
tripleclones | daftykins: if I'm going to reinstall fresh are you thinking it might be worth trying a fresh trusty first? | 19:56 |
tripleclones | daftykins: I haven't - thats a good idea | 19:56 |
daftykins | yeah sure, are you using unity though? | 19:56 |
tripleclones | daftykins: yes it works fine for my family | 19:56 |
tripleclones | it was easier moving to unity then it would have been teaching them to use windows 8 ;) | 19:57 |
daftykins | hehe | 19:57 |
daftykins | i just think for older hardware that xubuntu is a really nice setup | 19:57 |
penguin42 | mate is nice | 19:58 |
tripleclones | problem is the main desktop family use for games (well minecraft) is unity - I like to keeps things consistent | 19:58 |
daftykins | not sure how the desktop environment influences minecraft's use? | 20:02 |
daftykins | maybe i'm being slow | 20:02 |
tripleclones | it doesn't sorry | 20:03 |
tripleclones | I just cant be bothered to change both and teach wife and kids | 20:03 |
tripleclones | (mainly wife) | 20:03 |
daftykins | :D fair enough | 20:03 |
popey | is xfce still being maintained? | 20:03 |
daftykins | pass! | 20:04 |
tripleclones | popey: what channel is the carmack thing on? | 20:06 |
daftykins | tripleclones: http://www.twitch.tv/oculus | 20:09 |
daftykins | aaand it's done | 20:11 |
tripleclones | ah I thought it was a documentary or such like | 20:12 |
