| awilkins | Anyone recommend a leather laptop bag to hold a 15.6" beast of a laptop? | 10:12 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: Consider a decent messenger bag or rucksack instead. Looks less "muggy". | 10:20 |
| awilkins | Yeah, was thinking about this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unicorn-Leather-Cognac-laptop-Messenger/dp/B007ZDRH2Y/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1415182304&sr=8-5&keywords=leather+laptop+bag+16%22 | 10:21 |
| awilkins | The bods at work struck up a gift collection for me before I left so I have a wodge of Amazon vouchers | 10:21 |
| awilkins | It's the only leather bag I've seen so far that explicitly states it will hold a large laptop, has padding for it, and has zero negative reviews (and looks good) | 10:22 |
| TwistedLucidity | Looks pretty decent, nice even stitching. Afraid I don't have any recommendations. As that's a suede-like finish (I forget the actual term) you might want to consider some cleaners/oils to keep it water resistant. | 10:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | '' | 10:24 |
| TwistedLucidity | LeatherMaster do a bunch, or pop into the nearest motorcycle clothing store. | 10:24 |

| BigRedS | I don't think I've ever seen a laptop bag in a bike shop | 10:30 |
| BigRedS | Though, thinking about it, I've never looked for one... | 10:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | they would have messenger bags tough maybe | 10:31 |
| awilkins | I think he's talking about the leather care products | 10:32 |
| BigRedS | ah yeah | 10:32 |
| BigRedS | I missed that line | 10:32 |
| awilkins | Can't tell what kind of leather this is though! How do I buy the right product.... | 10:33 |
| TwistedLucidity | awilkins: I was talking about the leather care stuff. | 10:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | It's a napped leather rather than smooth, it will say on the bottle. | 10:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | "Aniline" <- that's the word. | 10:35 |
| awilkins | Acrylic copolymer spray is apparently where it's at | 10:36 |
| TwistedLucidity | Basically you want something that won't make it shiny, although it will get "polished" with use. A good going over with a stiff/wire brush can sort that | 10:37 |
| TwistedLucidity | Just like with shoes.... | 10:37 |

| BigRedS | that's one hell of a url | 14:05 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 14:05 |
| Azelphur | BigRedS: one hell of a url for one hell of a laptop, look at the display :) | 14:06 |
| BigRedS | does that get shipped built or as a kit? | 14:07 |
| Azelphur | built | 14:07 |
| BigRedS | just seems weird to charge £9 for almost no thermal paste | 14:07 |
| BigRedS | but yeah, that's many dots on that screen | 14:07 |
| BigRedS | and £50 more than my thinkpad was... | 14:07 |
| Azelphur | BigRedS: the extra charge is because they have to do it manuall | 14:08 |
| Azelphur | manually* so time I guess | 14:08 |
| BigRedS | ah yeah, i just scrolled down, saw that and wondered if you just got a tube of it | 14:10 |
| Azelphur | haha nope, it's all done for you | 14:12 |
| TwistedLucidity | Azelphur: Please punt a quick review to here/blog/whatever. Would love to know what they are like in the flesh. Considered getting one but didn't want to buy asight unseen. | 14:24 |
| Azelphur | TwistedLucidity: I already have one Clevo laptop, I am impressed enough with it to just throw money at Clevo. | 14:24 |
| Azelphur | If it's anywhere near as good as my Clevo W110ER, I'll be happy | 14:24 |
| TwistedLucidity | Sweet. Hope the backlit keyboatd works out. | 14:25 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 14:25 |
| TwistedLucidity | In the end I plumped for an older ThinkPad, but would seriously consider one of these in the furture | 14:26 |
| TwistedLucidity | I like their attitude of "We can't support Linux ourselves, but here's a coummunity; know yourself out" | 14:26 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 14:26 |
| TwistedLucidity | Unlike what some other OEMs and shops do (e.g. Currys) | 14:27 |
| Azelphur | http://www.chip.pl/images/testy/notebooki/notebooki-z-windows-7/clevo-w110er/56117_4.jpg/image_preview | 14:27 |
| TwistedLucidity | "Knock yourself...." | 14:27 |
| Azelphur | 11" with an i7 and a GT 650M...that is one well built machine. | 14:27 |
| TwistedLucidity | 11" eh? That's the size I want for my "chuck in a backpack" unit. Was thinking of getting a X201 | 14:28 |
| Azelphur | TwistedLucidity: this one fits in my coat pocket | 14:28 |
| TwistedLucidity | If I put the T430 in a coat pocket, I'd be walking in circles! | 14:28 |
| popey | hah | 14:29 |
| Azelphur | haha | 14:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | 3 | 14:29 |
| TwistedLucidity | Heavy sod. But the attraction was build quality. | 14:29 |
| Azelphur | I remember when me and popey both had a M1730's | 14:29 |
| Azelphur | those laptops were the greatest :) | 14:29 |
| popey | i have never had an m1730 | 14:30 |
| Azelphur | what did you have? I'm sure it was the same as or similar to mine | 14:30 |
| popey | I had a Dell XPS Gen 2. | 14:31 |
| Azelphur | ah | 14:31 |
| Azelphur | yea, they are pretty much the same | 14:31 |
| Azelphur | TwistedLucidity: did you see the Clevo that takes desktop LGA2011 CPUs? crazyness xD | 14:32 |
| TwistedLucidity | Azelphur: Nope, didn't spot that. Was having a rummage at the 10" and 11" models. | 14:33 |
| TwistedLucidity | Maybe I can save enough money to buy myself a new desktop post-Christmas.....this is all your fault Azelphur! | 14:34 |
| Azelphur | haha | 14:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | a rasp pi can be used as a desktop :-p | 14:34 |

| TwistedLucidity | "Missing door step? NO PROBLEM!" | 14:36 |
| Azelphur | haha indeed | 14:36 |
| Azelphur | I imagine it sounds like a jet taking off too what with the 4 hard drives, desktop CPU and twin dedicated GPUs | 14:37 |
| Azelphur | one day, when I'm rich *dreams* :p | 14:37 |
| TwistedLucidity | Circa £2.9k in top-spec. >.< | 14:40 |
| Azelphur | TwistedLucidity: I get £3.4k | 14:40 |
| TwistedLucidity | I didn't go for the external sound cards and the like. I also saved £79 on one option.... | 14:41 |
| Azelphur | TwistedLucidity: me neither, I got the i7 six core, 32GB kingson hyperx, nvidia 880Ms, twin 1TB Samsung 840 EVOs, MX-4 thermal compound, and the Intel AC-7260. | 14:42 |

| mapps | gah no ive bene putting off contacting them | 16:19 |
| mapps | as i know it's gonna be a hassle:( | 16:19 |
| daftykins | is the language barrier a pain? | 16:20 |
| daftykins | actually you said they speak it well eh | 16:20 |
| mapps | na | 16:20 |
| mapps | they speak english and spanish fluently | 16:20 |
| mapps | even mixing both mid sentence which is funny | 16:20 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:21 |
| daftykins | my mates ADSL finally got enabled today, only 9 days late | 16:21 |
| mapps | :D | 16:21 |
| daftykins | i told them there was no service on the line so there had to be a fault at the exchange end | 16:21 |
| mapps | like my sky that didnt get connected? this was lol | 16:21 |
| mapps | i paid connection charge..went away to latvia..and come back nothings done | 16:21 |
| daftykins | they passed a message through to that department who pushed it back to the engineers | 16:21 |
| daftykins | they came onsite this morning, it was a faulty line card in the exchange like i said at the very beginning | 16:22 |
| mapps | phone them and they said basically couldnt do phoneline and net at same tie..sometimes cant..so rather than do it seperately they did NOTHING | 16:22 |
| daftykins | absolute idiots | 16:22 |
| mapps | line card? | 16:22 |
| mapps | hm | 16:22 |
| daftykins | yeah the thing your line connects into at the other end :> | 16:22 |
| mapps | and how stupid are sky?:P i paid connection fee agreed terms i dont care if i get phoneline or adsl seperate or at same time | 16:22 |
| daftykins | in the DSLAM basically | 16:22 |
| mapps | but they did NOTHING when they couldnt do both at same time..so i phone they do phone and say theyll phone in a week | 16:23 |
| mapps | irritates me when they say they'll phone..i'm not that stupid | 16:23 |
| mapps | 0 chance they do | 16:23 |
| mapps | damn tired | 16:23 |
| mapps | debating doing spinning | 16:23 |
| daftykins | i don't hugely follow that, one thing at a time 0o granted you have to have a landline before you can apply for a broadband service over here | 16:23 |
| daftykins | brb | 16:23 |
| mapps | but im yawning :I | 16:24 |
| mapps | had to switch my landline to sky..and then get my net upograded they did both orders at once | 16:24 |
| mapps | then claimed it failed..sometimes does for some reason..so they did nothing | 16:24 |
| mapps | clearly i still wanted it | 16:24 |

| daftykins | hmm i hadn't even considered support for that | 18:22 |

| Azelphur | hehe | 18:23 |
| Azelphur | did it work with Linux? | 18:23 |
| daftykins | i could fire up a live session on it some time to see what it says | 18:23 |
| daftykins | the boot speed vid is pretty impressive | 18:24 |
| Azelphur | :) | 18:25 |
| ali1234 | is there a way to force X11 to draw the mouse cursor in software? | 18:36 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: ftp://www.x.org/pub/xorg/X11R6.7.0/doc/SiS2.html that top thing looks like what you want? | 18:39 |
| ali1234 | what i want is something that will turn off the regular cursor and draw one with a normal window | 18:40 |
| ali1234 | so that if you take a screenshot the cursor will show up in it (without trickery like screenshot tools do) | 18:40 |
| popey | Azelphur: mSATA SSDs? | 18:40 |
| Azelphur | popey: no, PCIe (M.2) | 18:41 |
| popey | oh, desktop? | 18:41 |
| Azelphur | laptop | 18:41 |
| popey | link to one | 18:42 |
| daftykins | M.2 is ace | 18:42 |
| daftykins | my dropbox link shows one | 18:42 |
| Azelphur | popey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 there's an image in there too | 18:42 |
| daftykins | in the flesh! albeit mounted to a supporting motherboard. | 18:42 |
| popey | wow, thats tiny | 18:43 |
| daftykins | they vary in length | 18:43 |
| popey | what makes you say linux hates them? | 18:43 |
| daftykins | they typically come off PCI-E lanes direct from the CPU, so i'd imagine the kernel has a few surprises early on | 18:43 |
| daftykins | NVMe is the newer standard to operate them with too | 18:44 |
| Azelphur | popey: I've heard people saying you can't boot from them / they need special drivers | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | that stuff is painfully new | 18:49 |
| ali1234 | my brother got a new computer a couple of months ago, ubuntu live cd could not access the ethernet, usb ports, and half the sata ports | 18:49 |
| ali1234 | and neither could windows, even with the drivers from the motherboard cd. we had to download updates from the websites | 18:50 |

| ali1234 | i've used it | 20:44 |
| diddledan | multi router trafic graph | 20:44 |
| ali1234 | all i can remember abut it is that it's really strange | 20:44 |
| daftykins | D: | 20:44 |
| daftykins | lol | 20:44 |
| mapps | is it possible to get it to monitor the wireless on my pi | 20:44 |
| daftykins | mapps: what's your latest hair-brained scheme exactly? :> | 20:45 |
| mapps | the sky router doesnt support SNMP or it didnt respond | 20:45 |
| diddledan | should be, yes | 20:45 |
| mapps | :D | 20:45 |
| ali1234 | sure, it is just a graphing tool | 20:45 |
| mapps | yea | 20:45 |
| ali1234 | it can graph any data source you want | 20:45 |
| diddledan | daftykins: you say "hair-brained" as though that's a bad thing? | 20:45 |
| mapps | so time to google search | 20:45 |
| mapps | not sure how to get it to monitor wlan0 | 20:45 |
| ali1234 | it doesn't have any built in monitoring capability | 20:46 |
| mapps | how can i probe wlan? | 20:46 |
| daftykins | out of interest who's given in and is using heating at home already? :D | 20:46 |
| mapps | not me | 20:46 |
| ali1234 | daftykins: i've still got the windows open | 20:46 |
| ali1234 | too many computers | 20:46 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 20:46 |
| daftykins | nicely insulated place too? | 20:46 |
| ali1234 | not really no | 20:46 |
| diddledan | I'm too hot and no heating yet | 20:47 |
| diddledan | two puters at my feet probably don't help | 20:47 |
| daftykins | i'm fine in t-shirt and thin jacket, but my cat's already going in her bed which she never uses :> https://www.dropbox.com/s/99pnnu611cla8qh/IMG_20141105_002324.jpg?dl=0 | 20:47 |

| popey | or switching off the desktop pc monitor | 22:56 |
| directhex | popey: apparently settable from the display options inside BPM | 22:58 |
| popey | i tried that, but it showed two entries for "generic pc monitor" and neither worked, they both kept pc monitor on | 22:58 |

| daftykins | wow an auto-remove on a 14.04 server slowly iterating through older initrd's to remove seems oddly tedious | 23:17 |
| popey | daftykins: yeah, but it's a faff. ☻ | 23:28 |
| popey | I wanted to just be on my desktop, plug in tv, open steam, off you go | 23:28 |
| popey | but there's a little fiddling which isn't too bad | 23:28 |
| popey | I can live with it | 23:29 |
| popey | Meantime, anyone (I expect Azelphur) tried any bluetooth keyboards with their phone? Cheap and small = better | 23:29 |
| daftykins | what's the graphics card there? i find they vary a lot with how clever they are with that | 23:29 |
| popey | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone-Symbian-smartphone/dp/B004401ZME that kinda thing | 23:29 |
| popey | daftykins: nvidia something something | 23:29 |
| Azelphur | popey: actually nope, never done that | 23:30 |
| popey | surprising | 23:30 |
| daftykins | but Azelphur has all the gadgets! | 23:30 |
| daftykins | popey: hmm, as long as the drivers are new enough, that is a surprise | 23:30 |
| popey | its a reall old manky tv that the windows box has only just seen for the first time | 23:34 |
| popey | got a new TV in the lounge, so I got the old one in my den | 23:34 |
| popey | which triggered the desk moving around to put the pc near the telly, which now is my steam box | 23:35 |
| daftykins | ah so might be more of a live-plug than a boot-with-connected situation? | 23:37 |
| popey | no, it was booted with it attached, then i turned it on after boot | 23:37 |
| popey | nvm, all sorted now ☻ | 23:37 |
| daftykins | ah yes, HDMI likes them on during boot or connect | 23:38 |
| daftykins | hrmm how strange, i'm proxy'd over SSH through this friends web server, he hosts a website from home and so has just updated the DNS with his new IP after getting a new router from his ISP | 23:41 |
| daftykins | now however, the wordpress site he hosts doesn't load properly when i try the server's internal IP | 23:41 |
| daftykins | (DNS has updated correctly for him) | 23:41 |
| daftykins | also, his domain just gives a 'connection reset' from firefox if i try to go to that, over said proxy | 23:41 |
| ali1234 | popey: i have a bluetooth keyboard, but i don't see the point | 23:46 |
| ali1234 | i literally used it once when i got it and never again | 23:46 |
| popey | http://www.amazon.co.uk/IPHONE-BLUETOOTH-KEYBOARD-SLIDER-CASE/dp/B0052TI7ZY | 23:48 |
