foobarrymy phone is out for delivery so when i see lost guy in the street i keep thinking its him08:36
shaunoif 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 them08:37
foobarrythe first 3 links in the bbc "most read" today are from 2013 and 2012 :S08:37

directhexapparently nobody's in the market for a used desktop pc.11:44
penguin42the problem is new ones aren't that pricey; what spec?11:55
foobarryargh my sim isn't micro. scissors to the rescue11:59
daftykinsdirecthex: trying to get rid? :)12:03
daftykinsfoobarry: i hope it's not an iPhone 6 you just got :P12:04

daftykinsnice model btw, those tiles look fiddly12:05
foobarry:D12:05
foobarryta12:05
foobarrytiles were actually moulded as one block12:05
foobarrythe main issue is a decent paint job12:05
daftykinsah i see, so it is to be a model of a rundown building12:06
foobarryyes12:06
foobarrydiorama will have other stuff in it too12:06
foobarrymaybe creeping vines and a tank12:06
directhexdaftykins, yes.12:06

daftykinsfoobarry: :D i look forward to updates12:08
foobarry:P12:09
penguin42directhex: Decent spec - how much were you asking for it?12:09
directhexpenguin42, 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
daftykinslol SLI12:10
daftykins:)12:10
daftykinsdirecthex: do you have anything up online about it? i have a friend in England who may know someone12:11
directhexdaftykins, not yet12:11
penguin42directhex: cex do seem to buy desktops, but I bet they don't pay much12:12
popeyi wonder if directhex has me on ignore12:13
penguin42directhex: I guess that's probably what - ~400 ?12:13
popeyi responded twice12:13
directhexpopey, bah, i need an IRC bouncer :/12:13
daftykinspopey also needs to highlight people ;)12:13
popeyi replied _immediately_ afterwards12:14
popeyanyone who asks a question then walks away from the screen needs to re-evaluate their IRC use :þ12:14
popeyby "immediately" I mean "10 mins" ☻12:14
penguin42popey: Depends on the channel; I know some channels with ~2 hour latency; it might be a challenge to wait that long12:15
daftykinshah, sadly that doesn't apply to channels i'm in :(12:15
directhex"don't irc if you have a toddler"?12:16
popeytrue dat12:16
penguin42my irc clients have this thing called a scrollbar - great invention12:16
daftykinshehe12:18

daftykinsi look forward to the conclusion of this transaction in Q1'1513:13

directhexlian-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 SSHD13:15
popeyhow much were you looking for?13:18
directhex3-400? i dunno. low hassle is worth a big discount. what does ebay say for the parts? hm...13:26
directhexlooks 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 drive13:31
directhexoh, 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 licenses13:31
directhex£300 for the above (please note no GPU) seems fair to me13:32
directhexsince you could strip & ebay it and turn a profit13:32

foobarrythats not legal13:51

ali1234omg wtf16:53
ali1234the video overlay key colour used by mplayer conflicts with the green font on nvidia's forums16:53
ali1234so if you have a video playing in the background when you visit it looks like you've got weird font corruption16:53
zmoylan-pithey're hoping this will make you buy a new video card? :-)16:54
directhexali1234, who still uses colour key overlay for video playback? ._.17:39
zmoylan-pihardware decoding for dvds?17:39
ali1234directhex: actually turns out it was from flash18:00
ali1234not mplayer18:00
ali1234specifically youtube18:01
shaunothat doesn't sound right.  flash is a bastion of good behaviour and modern design18:01
daftykinshttp://www.twitch.tv/oculus Carmack talking dev19:35
penguin42There was an Oculus in CEX today - I was almost tempted19:37
popeyyeah, i saw one in cex a few weeks back19:37
triplecloneshi 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
daftykinsmmm, pretty old that one19:49
daftykinsi think i've heard of there being two main drivers available and sometimes the other is the better19:49
tripleclonesI have tried iwl-legacy as well19:49
popey☹ intel wifi19:49
tripleclonesyeah19:50
popeyused to be the benchmark. has gone down hill over the years19:50
tripleclonesthis is a old device, was running 12.04 fine, I've read some people have similar issues on jessy and mint 1719:51
daftykinsmay as well carry on with 12.04.5 for another 2 years19:51
tripleclonesthats what I was thinking19:51
tripleclonesits a family laptop - the way it gets treated 2 years is wishful thinking ;)19:52
daftykinshahaha19:53
daftykinsoh dear19:53
daftykinstripleclones: oddly i have the same card in an old sony ultraportable that's working just fine under xubuntu 14.04.119:54
tripleclonesum19:54
popeyi have the same in my toshiba i think, not had a problem19:54
daftykinstripleclones: was it an upgrade?19:54
popeydaftykins: you watching this carmack thing?19:55
daftykinspopey: yes sir19:55
tripleclonesdaftykins: yes19:55
daftykinsi'm no developer, but it's interesting :)19:55
daftykinstripleclones: hmm, wouldn't hurt to try a live session if you haven't19:56
tripleclonesdaftykins: if I'm going to reinstall fresh are you thinking it might be worth trying a fresh trusty first?19:56
tripleclonesdaftykins: I haven't - thats a good idea19:56
daftykinsyeah sure, are you using unity though?19:56
tripleclonesdaftykins: yes it works fine for my family19:56
tripleclonesit was easier moving to unity then it would have been teaching them to use windows 8 ;)19:57
daftykinshehe19:57
daftykinsi just think for older hardware that xubuntu is a really nice setup19:57
penguin42mate is nice19:58
tripleclonesproblem is the main desktop family use for games (well minecraft) is unity - I like to keeps things consistent19:58
daftykinsnot sure how the desktop environment influences minecraft's use?20:02
daftykinsmaybe i'm being slow20:02
tripleclonesit doesn't sorry20:03
tripleclonesI just cant be bothered to change both and teach wife and kids20:03
tripleclones(mainly wife)20:03
daftykins:D fair enough20:03
popeyis xfce still being maintained?20:03
daftykinspass!20:04
tripleclonespopey: what channel is the carmack thing on?20:06
daftykinstripleclones: http://www.twitch.tv/oculus20:09
