[09:51] snow receding so no time for you to be travelling as no transport would be cancelled :-) [09:52] I may have broken my curse of travelling to .ie I managed to get there this christmas with no delays! [09:52] none! [09:52] it's a trap luring you into making bolder plans... [09:53] I've seen people typing using the capslock key to get sentence case - i.e. the initial cap of a sentence [09:53] *capslock, a, capslock, rest-of-sentence* [09:53] diddledan, my eldest son is one such person. :-/ [09:54] I wonder if they do ALF as *capslock, a, capslock, capslock, l, capslock, capslock, f, capslock* [09:55] that would mess with my head [09:55] zmoylan-pi: no more travel plans for the future for a while, bought a house so planning the big move [09:56] * czajkowski firmly cements her roots in Surrey [10:00] * zmoylan-pi would love to see neighbours faces when they see chickens been brought in... :-P [10:02] my uncle who kept pigeons AND chickens got a few looks when he moved [10:05] yeah...

[10:08] Laney: thanks :) [10:08] are you renting now? [10:08] been a busy few months [10:08] yup [10:09] fun fun [10:09] but we've just bought in Godalming [10:09] we just bought too [10:09] so hoping to move in March [10:09] fingers crossed [10:09] and at some point plan a wedding :) [10:09] need to get a man in to do $jobs, but I keep putting it off [10:09] oh yeah that old thing :P [10:10] Laney: aye we have a good few jobs to do, but thankfully Jons stepdad is a builder who does house renovations [10:10] :D [10:11] convenient or what! [10:11] does anyone use evolution and has calendar working nicely set up for exchange mail ? [10:11] Laney: that was another reason to picking the house, we knew if we got it we could get stuff done [10:11] irish person with english builders... seems wrong somehow :-) [10:11] 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] and then do the place up bit by bit [10:12] nod [10:12] I need to figure out the green deal shenanigans to get the last single glazed windows replaced [10:12] which includes the one in this office [10:12] * Laney shivers [10:13] yes all the windows need double glazing [10:13] :( [10:13] cannot wait to set up my office there [10:13] look into this green deal home improvement fund [10:13] living on pinterest to get some ideas [10:13] and houzz [10:13] Laney: link? [10:13] you can get 1.5K ish grant for energy efficiency stuff [10:13] https://www.gov.uk/green-deal-energy-saving-measures/get-money-back-from-the-green-deal-home-improvement-fund [10:15] and you can use the EPC which you already have when buying the house instead of paying for a new assessment === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [10:29] silly question , what if i would like to build a simple text menu in the command line to launch command line apps [10:29] like press 1 to launch irssi , 2 to launch wordgrinder etc. [10:29] are there any simple ways to do that ? [10:30] Laney: nice [10:30] thanks [10:31] need to get off my bum and find out who to call [10:35] knightwise, can do it with python etc building on ncurses [10:35] I started playing with something myself for work a while ago [10:36] knightwise: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/code-project-build-ncurses-ui-python [10:36] * knightwise is taking a lok [10:36] heh was just about to link to that :) [10:37] looks like something I can start with === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === cking_ is now known as cking [11:29] snow's really coming down here [11:29] ooh [11:29] #uksnow [11:30] http://uksnowmap.com/ [11:30] none here [11:32] hello all [11:32] Belgium has sunny skies [11:32] hey MooDoo [11:33] easing off already [11:33] boo [11:33] look like but constant here [11:33] light not like [11:35] oooo quite heavy now [11:37] looks like MooDoo has a 5 minute snow lag on me ;-) [11:38] * awilkins draws up the blind to do a snowcheck [11:39] Snow status zero [11:39] status: snowing [11:40] lunchtime could be amusing [11:41] Kickstarter hits $1.6M in less than 24 hours... [11:41] For a card game. [11:41] The power of a solid following on the web. [11:42] At least they aren't going all "Star Citizen" and offering SUPER POWERED KITTEN CARDS for $2,500 apiece. [11:43] *sigh* [11:43] getting a little tired of this cyber-begging [11:43] cyber begging? [11:45] kickstarter is ok, but it's not something which could form a sustainable business model [11:46] status: not snowing [11:46] true. But all the patreon campains , this and that campains. I understand its a business model [11:46] trending towards 24M USD http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens/ [11:47] knightwise: the other option being? [11:47] I think patreon is a more sustainable thing, because it's like an ongoing subscription [11:47] rather than just a one-off event [11:47] 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] Adverts? No good unless you have millions of followers like Yogscast or MKBHD [11:48] patreon is neat in that you can pick and choose what content you want to pay for and how much. [11:48] popey: don't know really .. [11:48] Patreon is OK for ongoing content (like journalism) but how do you get something like Star Citizen or Elite funded like that? [11:49] you and I have the luxury of having a job which pays, and the content creation is a sideline. [11:49] "Hey guys, we wrote 1,000 lines of C++ today! *thrills*" [11:49] thats what kickstarter is for [11:49] Exactly [11:49] see also that librem laptop [11:49] patreon works well, I sponsor and pay per video for a max amount [11:49] https://www.crowdsupply.com/purism/librem-laptop [11:49] 98% [11:49] popey: i agree with you on that [11:49] they're going to hit their target [11:49] which is awesome for them. [11:50] Ooh, is that a really nice shiny metal unibody construction? [11:50] it IS a cool cardgame [11:51] Maybe kickstarters should have an upper limit [11:52] 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] * awilkins is now snow-positive [11:53] OOh, 4k display on that Purism laptop [11:56] £1,500 for a laptop that high end... but I bet the VAT in customs applies [11:57] £1800 is pretty good [11:57] That's with 16GB of RAM and the stupid-HD screen [11:58] a 4K on a laotop ? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:08] 3840x2160 [12:08] Ok, it's an 8k [12:08] If the k means "thousand thousand pixels" [12:27] ok, they've added a uk keyboard option, so I think I'll try to get a librem laptop === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [12:27] my troubles with starting my existing laptop (from cold) are ongoing === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [16:08] Good morning peeps :) [16:17] Hi intrbiz [16:18] bigcalm: hello === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [18:09] * bigcalm heads off towards the LUG [18:45] Why can't rsync have a "this is clearly going much more slowly than it would take to transfer the rest of the file in boring old normal mode" [18:45] fallback mode [18:46] Watching it thrash CPU on the source box and transfer data at 8kB/s [18:46] On a 100Mb/s network segment === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === MooDoo is now known as Guest53371 === Laney is now known as Guest54456 [21:16] Hi [21:16] I need some help setting up my proftpd server, I cant seem to access it from out side my network === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [21:33] I need some help setting up my proftpd server, I cant seem to access it from out side my network [22:41] anyone here have virgin media as their ISP? [22:43] Im on sky but I know a little about virgin [22:44] 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? [22:45] I was looking at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291151529053 [22:47] 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] is your superhub in modem only mode? [22:47] (if not, you should consider it) [22:48] yeah it's in modem mode [22:48] I use a netgear wndr3700 [22:48] been rock solid. [22:48] I put dd-wrt on mine [22:48] you with virgin? [22:49] yes [22:49] Lucky you guys can swap out your routers [22:49] Sky only let you use their shitty boxes [22:50] yeah, so i hear [22:50] so I can use this? Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Premium WiFi Wireless-N Gigabit Cable Broadband Router [22:50] my vm actually went down an hour ago [22:50] only for a few mins [22:50] which is quite rare here [22:50] the d/c's is driving my family mad [22:50] what exactly happens? [22:50] on ipads and android it just disconnects [22:51] what, the wifi? [22:51] yeah [22:51] how many neighbours also have wifi? [22:51] a lot lol [22:51] there's a nice android app called wifi analyzer [22:51] which lets you see what your neighbours have [22:51] and see what channel they're on [22:51] I moved my ones to another channel away from theirs [22:52] I like to 'encourage' devices to use 5ghz where they can too [22:52] (there seems to be a whole lot less contention there) [22:52] my dlink 615 only supports 2.4 [22:53] the 3800 is the newer version of my 3700 [22:53] should be fine [22:53] dual band too, so does 2.4 and 5 [22:53] 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 :) [22:55] i fiddled the firmware on mine to use channels above what the neighbours use :) [22:55] thanks to MartijnVdS [23:00] I guess he ain't kidding [23:03] anyone ever used these lithium ion AA batteries in a project? [23:06] you should be able to run a raspberry pi a+ for about 8 hours on two "AA" batteries with them [23:10] 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] it doesnt help [23:10] 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] problem is the channels overlap [23:10] as you see in the display in wifi analyzer [23:10] yeah, its a nice router [23:13] I'll defo order it tomorrow. thanks! also, my dad is saying it's not disconnecting now. [23:13] his ipad would just randomly disconnect lol [23:13] damn neighbours [23:21] heh [23:21] Glad we could help! [23:23] :) you did, I'm grateful. now it's bed time................................................
