| knightwise | Why don't I work in a modeling agency or something | 09:32 |
| JamesTait | Probably someone in the Southern hemisphere, zmoylan-pi. ;) | 09:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | a face that looked like it was on fire and someone put it out with a shovel knightwise? :-P | 09:33 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: you flatter me | 09:33 |
| knightwise | maybe I have the body of a swimsuit model ? | 09:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | missed a word... steam shovel | 09:34 |
| JamesTait | I'm home alone, knightwise. Apart from the cats. I could hug them. | 09:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | hugging cats, isn't that an extreme sport? | 09:34 |
| JamesTait | But it could make tomorrow awkward: Answer Your Cat's Questions Day. | 09:34 |
| diddledan | knightwise, I've got the body of a swimsuit model. it is just hidden behind a bearish exteriour | 09:35 |

| czajkowski | I may have broken my curse of travelling to .ie I managed to get there this christmas with no delays! | 09:52 |
| czajkowski | none! | 09:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's a trap luring you into making bolder plans... | 09:52 |
| diddledan | I've seen people typing using the capslock key to get sentence case - i.e. the initial cap of a sentence | 09:53 |
| diddledan | *capslock, a, capslock, rest-of-sentence* | 09:53 |
| JamesTait | diddledan, my eldest son is one such person. :-/ | 09:53 |
| diddledan | I wonder if they do ALF as *capslock, a, capslock, capslock, l, capslock, capslock, f, capslock* | 09:54 |

| czajkowski | shall move them in under the cover of night :) | 10:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | and let the dawn introduce them to a whole new experience :-D | 10:05 |
| czajkowski | they're mostly ok tbh, there are the odd mornings when they're super noisy when they lay but not so much in the winter time | 10:05 |

| czajkowski | and at some point plan a wedding :) | 10:09 |
| Laney | need to get a man in to do $jobs, but I keep putting it off | 10:09 |
| Laney | oh yeah that old thing :P | 10:09 |
| czajkowski | Laney: aye we have a good few jobs to do, but thankfully Jons stepdad is a builder who does house renovations | 10:10 |
| czajkowski | :D | 10:10 |
| Laney | convenient or what! | 10:11 |
| czajkowski | does anyone use evolution and has calendar working nicely set up for exchange mail ? | 10:11 |
| czajkowski | Laney: that was another reason to picking the house, we knew if we got it we could get stuff done | 10:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | irish person with english builders... seems wrong somehow :-) | 10:11 |
| czajkowski | for starters the entire house needs painting inside, an do that in a week once we hire one of his crew fo rht eweek | 10:11 |
| czajkowski | and then do the place up bit by bit | 10:11 |

| czajkowski | yes all the windows need double glazing | 10:13 |

| czajkowski | and houzz | 10:13 |

| awilkins | Kickstarter hits $1.6M in less than 24 hours... | 11:41 |
| awilkins | For a card game. | 11:41 |
| awilkins | The power of a solid following on the web. | 11:41 |
| awilkins | At least they aren't going all "Star Citizen" and offering SUPER POWERED KITTEN CARDS for $2,500 apiece. | 11:42 |
| knightwise | *sigh* | 11:43 |
| knightwise | getting a little tired of this cyber-begging | 11:43 |
| popey | cyber begging? | 11:43 |
| bashrc | kickstarter is ok, but it's not something which could form a sustainable business model | 11:45 |
| bashrc | status: not snowing | 11:46 |
| knightwise | true. But all the patreon campains , this and that campains. I understand its a business model | 11:46 |
| popey | trending towards 24M USD http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens/ | 11:46 |
| popey | knightwise: the other option being? | 11:47 |
| bashrc | I think patreon is a more sustainable thing, because it's like an ongoing subscription | 11:47 |
| bashrc | rather than just a one-off event | 11:47 |
| popey | I mean, If you make video or other content and want to get paid (i.e. it be the sole source of income) what's your option? | 11:47 |
| popey | Adverts? No good unless you have millions of followers like Yogscast or MKBHD | 11:47 |
| popey | patreon is neat in that you can pick and choose what content you want to pay for and how much. | 11:48 |
| knightwise | popey: don't know really .. | 11:48 |
| awilkins | Patreon is OK for ongoing content (like journalism) but how do you get something like Star Citizen or Elite funded like that? | 11:48 |
| popey | you and I have the luxury of having a job which pays, and the content creation is a sideline. | 11:49 |
| awilkins | "Hey guys, we wrote 1,000 lines of C++ today! *thrills*" | 11:49 |
| popey | thats what kickstarter is for | 11:49 |
| awilkins | Exactly | 11:49 |
| popey | see also that librem laptop | 11:49 |
| MooDoo | patreon works well, I sponsor and pay per video for a max amount | 11:49 |
| popey | https://www.crowdsupply.com/purism/librem-laptop | 11:49 |
| popey | 98% | 11:49 |

| awilkins | Ooh, is that a really nice shiny metal unibody construction? | 11:50 |
| knightwise | it IS a cool cardgame | 11:50 |
| awilkins | Maybe kickstarters should have an upper limit | 11:51 |
| awilkins | Like "The thing we are going to do will cost $10,000 to develop. Upper limit will be $40,000, because how much can you really polish a shiny diamond?" | 11:52 |

| ChunkzZ | anyone here have virgin media as their ISP? | 22:41 |
| Hemlock | Im on sky but I know a little about virgin | 22:43 |
| ChunkzZ | I need a new wireless router. I'm using a dlink 615 with my superhub (from virgin) but it keeps disconnecting etc on different devices so need a new wireless router. can you recommend any? | 22:44 |
| ChunkzZ | I was looking at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291151529053 | 22:45 |
| ChunkzZ | will that work with virgin? or do i need something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Netgear-WNDR3800-N600-Premium-WiFi-Wireless-N-Gigabit-Cable-Broadband-Router-/311213508015?pt=UK_Computing_Wireless_Routers&hash=item4875c545af | 22:47 |
| popey | is your superhub in modem only mode? | 22:47 |
| popey | (if not, you should consider it) | 22:47 |
| ChunkzZ | yeah it's in modem mode | 22:48 |
| popey | I use a netgear wndr3700 | 22:48 |
| popey | been rock solid. | 22:48 |
| popey | I put dd-wrt on mine | 22:48 |
| ChunkzZ | you with virgin? | 22:48 |
| popey | yes | 22:49 |
| Hemlock | Lucky you guys can swap out your routers | 22:49 |
| Hemlock | Sky only let you use their shitty boxes | 22:49 |
| popey | yeah, so i hear | 22:50 |
| ChunkzZ | so I can use this? Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Premium WiFi Wireless-N Gigabit Cable Broadband Router | 22:50 |
| popey | my vm actually went down an hour ago | 22:50 |
| popey | only for a few mins | 22:50 |
| popey | which is quite rare here | 22:50 |
| ChunkzZ | the d/c's is driving my family mad | 22:50 |
| popey | what exactly happens? | 22:50 |
| ChunkzZ | on ipads and android it just disconnects | 22:50 |
| popey | what, the wifi? | 22:51 |
| ChunkzZ | yeah | 22:51 |
| popey | how many neighbours also have wifi? | 22:51 |
| ChunkzZ | a lot lol | 22:51 |
| popey | there's a nice android app called wifi analyzer | 22:51 |
| popey | which lets you see what your neighbours have | 22:51 |
| popey | and see what channel they're on | 22:51 |
| popey | I moved my ones to another channel away from theirs | 22:51 |
| shauno | I like to 'encourage' devices to use 5ghz where they can too | 22:52 |
| shauno | (there seems to be a whole lot less contention there) | 22:52 |
| ChunkzZ | my dlink 615 only supports 2.4 | 22:52 |
| popey | the 3800 is the newer version of my 3700 | 22:53 |
| popey | should be fine | 22:53 |
| popey | dual band too, so does 2.4 and 5 | 22:53 |
| shauno | well, it depends how many of your devices do 5 too, else it's a pretty useless suggestion. but where usable, it's worth trying. (and where not usable, easily ignored :) | 22:53 |
| popey | i fiddled the firmware on mine to use channels above what the neighbours use :) | 22:55 |
| popey | thanks to MartijnVdS | 22:55 |
| shauno | I guess he ain't kidding | 23:00 |
| ali1234 | anyone ever used these lithium ion AA batteries in a project? | 23:03 |
| ali1234 | you should be able to run a raspberry pi a+ for about 8 hours on two "AA" batteries with them | 23:06 |
| ChunkzZ | popey, just checked wifi analyzer and I was running on the same channel as my next door neighbours. changed it to 3 which no one else is running and it seems fine. could that of been causing it? | 23:10 |
| popey | it doesnt help | 23:10 |
| ChunkzZ | saying that, I shall go ahead and buy the router one up from yours :) still, that'll do nicely with 2.4 and 5 :) | 23:10 |
| popey | problem is the channels overlap | 23:10 |
| popey | as you see in the display in wifi analyzer | 23:10 |
| popey | yeah, its a nice router | 23:10 |
| ChunkzZ | I'll defo order it tomorrow. thanks! also, my dad is saying it's not disconnecting now. | 23:13 |
| ChunkzZ | his ipad would just randomly disconnect lol | 23:13 |
| ChunkzZ | damn neighbours | 23:13 |
| popey | heh | 23:21 |
| popey | Glad we could help! | 23:21 |
| ChunkzZ | :) you did, I'm grateful. now it's bed time................................................ | 23:23 |
