| Azelphur | Result of my annual conky binge, https://owncloud.azelphur.com/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=553eddabfeaca770f463cfc6b7b4d1c2 :) | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| shauno | I'm not entirely sure how a Conky Intervention should work ;) | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | haha | 00:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | a career in hollywood tv or movie graphics awaits... :-) | 00:50 |
| Azelphur | :D | 00:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | just needs to be more glowy with text scrolling all over the place and the laptop should be rotating and you're done. can they have it by the morning? :-) | 00:52 |
| Azelphur | zmoylan-pi: sure ;) | 00:56 |
| Azelphur | I came up with an inventive solution to the "start conky after compiz is ready" problem too, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9160530/ | 01:02 |
| diddledan | Azelphur, interesting | 01:04 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| diddledan | I wonder whether compiz sends a broadcast when it's ready which you could listen for rather than polling? | 01:05 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: don't think so, I pasted that to my friend who just took over compiz maintenance and he didn't comment | 01:05 |
| Azelphur | so I'm assuming no :) | 01:05 |
| diddledan | heh | 01:06 |
| Azelphur | oh dear, broke stuff | 01:07 |
| diddledan | :-( | 01:07 |
| Azelphur | turned on don't request password for login - login fails altogether now, guess that's because encryption is on | 01:07 |
| Azelphur | yup, any suggestions? | 01:12 |
| Azelphur | aha, you can remove the nopasswdlogin entry from /etc/groups, crisis averted. | 01:18 |
| diddledan | that was fun | 02:46 |
| === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi | ||
| m0nkey_ | split much? | 02:48 |
| diddledan | is this still accurate? http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-sdk/installing-the-sdk/ | 03:38 |
| diddledan | the ppa appears to have very few packages for utopic | 03:38 |
| mapps | ah | 05:24 |
| mapps | its great having a drink problem | 05:24 |
| mapps | cant dissapoint anyone | 05:24 |
| foobarry | popey: heh, i've got a bored after reaching a target of £50 on globaltestmarket and cashing in | 09:09 |
| foobarry | and also, i'm on a samsung panel now that pays me £15 a month for about 15 mins of my time per month, so the surveys kinda get tedious | 09:10 |
| foobarry | also valued opinions i'm a couple of quid short of cashing in , but lost the will a bit. paid for my phone though | 09:12 |
| foobarry | oh no i've started on them again now. | 09:22 |
| popey | haha foobarry | 10:02 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| foobarry | if you referrals for good sites letme know | 10:23 |
| foobarry | how much do yougov pay popey ? e/g. survey length/rewards | 10:23 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:32 |
| popey | foobarry: dont think they pay | 11:47 |
| foobarry | oh? they used to when i did them 10+ yrs ago | 12:41 |
| foobarry | ipsos mori pay | 12:43 |
| foobarry | yougov is all about ukip today | 12:43 |
| popey | any question is too | 13:24 |

| SuperEngineer | Last week I spent 35 mins getting my original "Sam and Max Hit the Road" CD copied to pooter & working under dosBOX... | 15:55 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 15:55 |
| SuperEngineer | ...this week I spent £3.69 buying the Linux version from GoG ;) | 15:56 |
| SuperEngineer | [even though I got the original working under | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | dosBOX | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | hahaha | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | [& 5 mins of that 35 was spent cleaning the original CD - the years hadn't been kind to it] | 15:59 |
| popey | almost certainly the "Linux Version" is actually dosbox | 16:03 |
| SuperEngineer | Sort of - it runs under scummVM | 16:05 |
| SuperEngineer | ...& does it so much better than my attempts under dosBOX | 16:06 |
| popey | ahhh | 16:22 |
| popey | someone had scummvm working on ubuntu phone recently | 16:22 |
| popey | fun | 16:22 |
| SuperEngineer | nice! | 16:26 |
| SuperEngineer | bbs - time to go play Sam and Max :) | 16:39 |
| andylockran | http://uth.zrmt.com/year.php :) | 19:14 |
| daftykins | what's that - your home usage? | 19:15 |
| penguin42 | andylockran: What happened in January last year - electric heaters? | 20:01 |
| foobarry | want to keep a windows partition on a laptop, but want to resize it.. windows only offers to reduce it by 20GB altough i have defragge it and there is 140b free | 20:21 |
| diddledan | anyone ever heard of "ELED" TVs? | 20:21 |
| foobarry | 140gb,, would a shrink work better from ubuntu? | 20:21 |
| popey | yes | 20:21 |
| popey | i had exactly this issue | 20:21 |
| foobarry | its an ntfs disk | 20:21 |
| popey | a few days ago | 20:22 |
| foobarry | \o/ | 20:22 |
| popey | used gparted and is shrank by a lot more | 20:22 |
| popey | however! | 20:22 |
| foobarry | so gaprted? | 20:22 |
| diddledan | googling ELED says that the E stands for entangled stating that it's a quantum computing thing - so what does that have to do with illuminating my TV? | 20:22 |
| daftykins | diddledan: sounds like a typo | 20:22 |
| foobarry | ... | 20:22 |
| popey | I'd make sure you delete as much as you can and empty recycle bin first | 20:22 |
| foobarry | yep | 20:22 |
| foobarry | and disk cleanup | 20:22 |
| foobarry | etc etc | 20:22 |
| popey | ya | 20:22 |
| popey | but yes, gparted was fine | 20:22 |
| foobarry | thanks | 20:22 |
| popey | np | 20:22 |
| diddledan | ebuyer have one | 20:22 |
| foobarry | windows does indeed suck | 20:23 |
| diddledan | they spammed me with details of it | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | diddledan: URL? | 20:23 |
| foobarry | but i might need it for something | 20:23 |
| diddledan | penguin42, http://www.ebuyer.com/611946-digihome-50-full-hd-smart-eled-freeview-hd-tv-lcf501080snbsm | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | hmm, it's digihome so it's not going to be anything super special | 20:23 |
| diddledan | no, I agree. I was just curious what they think an ELED is | 20:23 |
| popey | " | 20:24 |
| popey | I looked that up too and was a little surprised. I think they probably mean Edge lit LED perhaps." | 20:24 |
| diddledan | I've never heard of it before | 20:24 |
| popey | http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/digihome-50-full-hd-smart-eled-freeview-hd-tv-374-98-ebuyer-1939339 | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | diddledan: It says edge if you scroll down | 20:24 |
| penguin42 | (imho edge is worse but I'm not 100% sure) | 20:24 |
| diddledan | yeah, edge-lit means the middle is dimmer | 20:24 |
| diddledan | and it's the middle that you want the brightest 'cos that's where the action is | 20:25 |
| diddledan | with a decent led grid you're probably only adding an extra 1 or 2mm to the thickness of the TV anyway, so Edge-lit seems pointless to me | 20:26 |
| daftykins | Sony always claimed to have edge-lit nailed, but i prefer a rear-grid with local dimming where possible | 20:26 |
| penguin42 | diddledan: But it's cheaper I think | 20:26 |
| diddledan | yes, it's cheaper 'cos you're using less diodes, I guess | 20:27 |
| popey | i like that my new sony auto-dims/brightens | 20:27 |
| shauno | and thinnerer | 20:27 |
| diddledan | shauno, you like them thin, eh? | 20:27 |
| penguin42 | diddledan: and as importantly I guess you don't need a PCB over the whole of the back to hold the LEDs | 20:27 |
| shauno | diddledan: behave. | 20:28 |
| diddledan | good point | 20:28 |
| diddledan | shauno, as if | 20:28 |
| diddledan | a wifi kettle?! | 20:28 |
| shauno | where?! | 20:28 |
| diddledan | this one's in maplin | 20:28 |
| shauno | oh. nm | 20:29 |
| diddledan | http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/ikettle-n00dt | 20:29 |
| diddledan | I wonder if it complies with the RFC | 20:29 |
| penguin42 | simple, you just replace the heating element by a 2.4GHz magnetron, and connect it to the wifi card - simples | 20:29 |
| diddledan | i.e. HTCPCP | 20:29 |
| popey | why on earth is that a thing? | 20:29 |
| popey | kettles aren't known for taking _that_ long to boil | 20:30 |
| diddledan | it's taking the internet of things a bit far methinks | 20:30 |
| * penguin42 checks popey's list of kickstarter orders before answering that | 20:30 | |
| popey | although saying that I frequently "race" the kettle. | 20:30 |
| popey | haha | 20:30 |
| shauno | I have a wifi switch thingie on my coffee machine. it's awesome | 20:30 |
| popey | surely you have to have the presence of mind to put water in it earlier | 20:30 |
| popey | ← would fail at that | 20:30 |
| daftykins | ^ | 20:31 |
| daftykins | yep, or remember the water status | 20:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:31 |
| penguin42 | we really just need kitchen robots | 20:31 |
| shauno | my machine takes 30-40 minutes to warm up properly, so being able to turn it on from bed/work is ftw | 20:31 |
| * penguin42 wonders if a Baxter robot would work well in a domestic kitchen | 20:32 | |
| foobarry | gparted says it is moving the partition to the right :S | 20:36 |
| foobarry | don't recall asking to do that | 20:36 |
| shauno | watching x-files, because I never saw it the first time around. someone left a cassette on his dashboard. I feel old now. | 20:40 |
| penguin42 | it was good at the time | 20:41 |
| penguin42 | didn't watch the last few series I think | 20:41 |
