| MartijnVdS | morning | 05:06 |
| diddledan | http://www.fanpup.me/uploads/2/3/5/9/23592480/bsg_personality_test.png <-- I'm either caprica-six or cally henderson | 05:11 |
| diddledan | it's based on the MTBI test which you can do: https://www.mbticomplete.com/en/index.aspx | 05:13 |
| diddledan | ok they want money | 05:13 |
| diddledan | grr | 05:13 |
| diddledan | cinemas project jpg images? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Package | 05:19 |
| diddledan | fair enough it's a newer standard than normal jpg in jpg2000, but it's a series of independant images rather than an mpeg-like stream | 05:19 |
| diddledan | I guess that's done so that individual frame corruption doesn't impact the video until the next keyframe | 05:20 |
| diddledan | in essence each frame is a keyframe | 05:20 |
| diddledan | we've probably all seen a corruption in an mpeg stream cause artifacts for several seconds of movie | 05:21 |
| diddledan | that's one of the issues of keyframe based compression though | 05:21 |
| diddledan | "let's throw out everything except changes between each frame - add-in some motion-dectecting for good measure" | 05:22 |
| mapp | looks like | 05:57 |
| mapp | im in gib perm now hm | 05:58 |
| mapp | i just hope summer is as good as they say | 05:58 |
| diddledan | is that good or bad, mapp ? | 06:13 |
| diddledan | or just "a thing"? :-p | 06:13 |
| mapp | well | 06:14 |
| mapp | who knows how it will be | 06:14 |
| mapp | but il be staying in gib for the forseeable future | 06:15 |

| mapp | better weather - cheaper cigs and spirits (so i can drink and smoke myself to death) but some downsides | 06:15 |
| mapp | cant go to any spurs games anymore really | 06:16 |
| mapp | too much effort | 06:16 |
| diddledan | the facebook is down!!!!!!!! | 06:40 |
| diddledan | armageddon is happening right now! | 06:40 |
| mapp | lol | 06:41 |
| mapp | oh no | 06:41 |
| knightwi1e | Good lord | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | and tinder too ? | 06:48 |
| diddledan | I wonder if facebook are going to write an article about what caused this outage - it's world-wide | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | and instagram ? | 06:48 |
| diddledan | knightwi1e, certainly instagram is too | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | so we are going to have a bunch of desperate, vain, a-social people who are going to have to go outside and play ? ? ? ? | 06:48 |
| diddledan | I don't know about tinder | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | what EVER will we do ! | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | yep | 06:48 |
| knightwi1e | Its worse | 06:49 |
| diddledan | knightwi1e, they might move to g+ for a while | 06:49 |
| knightwi1e | Slashdot.org is slow too | 06:49 |
| diddledan | maybe it's northkorea? | 06:49 |
| mapp | and twitter? its witter ok? | 06:50 |
| mapp | what would the teenies do | 06:50 |
| mapp | :D | 06:50 |
| diddledan | it was the twits that told me | 06:50 |
| diddledan | someone twatted about it, and then everyone else did | 06:51 |
| diddledan | #facebookdown is trending | 06:51 |
| knightwi1e | lol | 06:53 |
| diddledan | well done thunderbird - "downloading 1821 of 465 in Dixter" | 06:54 |
| * knightwi1e wonders if comparing a Thule Bumpercase to a Thong-for-your-laptop is inappropriate (in a review) | 06:54 | |
| diddledan | knightwi1e, nah | 06:54 |
| diddledan | knightwi1e, everyone knows what a mankini is | 06:54 |
| mapp | i feel so out of touch with this generationn | 06:55 |
| mapp | and im only 30 | 06:55 |
| diddledan | I'm binary this year (32) | 06:55 |
| mapp | i cant be bothered with twitter or facebook or instagram | 06:55 |
| knightwi1e | add 10 years + a social life centered around dealing with UK and US geeks while living in Belgium .. | 06:55 |
| knightwi1e | talk about cultural drift | 06:55 |
| mapp | i have a twitter..but i tweet friends from betfair forum and thats it | 06:55 |
| mapp | and i still dont get it how do people keep up with all the tweets and that | 06:56 |
| zmoylan-1i | you don't keep up, you just keep an eye as it streams past | 06:58 |
| === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi | ||
| mapp | hang on | 06:59 |
| mapp | but then | 06:59 |
| mapp | i might miss stuff from someone i follow|? | 06:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have a list of friends that i keep separate and that is a slow list that i keep a closer eye on | 06:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | try something like tweetdeck where you can split groups up into multiple lists. tech, personal, scifi, gaming etc. and you can quickly scrollback as far as you want | 07:00 |
| mapp | but what if i didnt look for a week | 07:01 |
| mapp | i miss them all? | 07:01 |
| diddledan | yup | 07:01 |
| mapp | yea | 07:01 |
| mapp | so how do people on twitter reply to tweets so quicly and have 10000s of tweets? | 07:02 |
| mapp | they have to be sitting there waiting? | 07:02 |
| mapp | just seems rubbish to me | 07:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | unless they mention you in which case you can set up email notifications | 07:02 |
| mapp | yea | 07:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | people use twitter in different ways. i use it to follow friends closely, gaming a little, tech a little, and a few other subjects a little. | 07:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | separating the wheat from the chaff | 07:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | others use it as stream of consciousness as to what's happening right now | 07:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | main problem is that twitter seems intent on changing something that works into something that is more profitable to them and less useful to users | 07:05 |
| mapp | just seems too much for me | 07:07 |
| mapp | so much flowing around | 07:07 |
| mapp | id miss it all unlss they directly tweet me? | 07:07 |
| mapp | how do people see things then if people dont mention them in te tweet..simply by checking? | 07:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | then follow fewer people | 07:08 |
| mapp | yea | 07:11 |
| mapp | but some people follow 10000s of people and tweet 10000s of times? | 07:11 |
| mapp | seems too time intensiv | 07:11 |
| mapp | you use it much? | 07:11 |

| msm__ | JamesTait: Totally my favourite day! | 09:34 |
| JamesTait | msm__, I saw it and I thought of you! :-P | 09:34 |
| msm__ | lol | 09:35 |
| msm__ | of course you did :) | 09:35 |

| diddledan | apparently the ONS says the UK economy grew 2.6% this year | 09:37 |
| JamesTait | msm__, there are those balls with biscuit in the middle and chocolate on the outside. I think they'd do. | 09:37 |
| diddledan | pretty impressive statsw | 09:37 |
| diddledan | JamesTait, malteasers? | 09:38 |
| msm__ | JamesTait: They will do very nicely :) | 09:38 |
| JamesTait | diddledan, no! Maltesers don't have biscuit in the middle! :-P | 09:38 |
| diddledan | really? | 09:38 |

| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:45 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: You disappoint me with your lack of happy holocaust day, but then I saw chocolate cake and forgot all about it ;) | 09:46 |
| JamesTait | I know, davmor2, I know. I was just trying to start the day on a happy note. ;) | 09:48 |

| SuperMatt | Evolution in the path of reast resistance, especially if you have outlook web access | 10:16 |
| SuperMatt | however, I've just gone with outlook web access | 10:16 |
| diplo | SuperMatt, that's what I have suggested already :) | 10:17 |
| diplo | From what I can remember if you enable imap on exchange it disables their MAPI option | 10:17 |

| diddledan | foobarry, I'm not sure you're supposed to buy your own presents? | 11:24 |
| foobarry | i can choose for others | 11:24 |
| foobarry | or ask for munneh to buy a bigger one | 11:24 |
| diddledan | always go for a big one | 11:25 |

| diddledan | nexus6? | 11:25 |
| awilkins | The 6 is costlier than the 9! | 11:26 |
| diddledan | o_O | 11:26 |
| awilkins | Well, it is a phone | 11:26 |
| diddledan | that seems a bit back asswards | 11:26 |
| awilkins | The 9 is not | 11:26 |
| diddledan | it has a cellular modem tho | 11:27 |
| awilkins | The 9 only has LTE if you pay £460 | 11:27 |
| awilkins | So yeah, the 6 is still more expensive | 11:27 |
| awilkins | 6 is £500 or £550 for the 64GB one | 11:28 |
| awilkins | Making the 9 a viable phone, I suppose, if you have a BT headset | 11:28 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: the lego deathstar? | 11:28 |
| awilkins | The main problem being that you'd have to carry your hipster manbag everywhere | 11:29 |
| awilkins | The 6 is already stretching the credibility of one's pocket | 11:29 |
| awilkins | Not had my hands on one though | 11:30 |

| ujjain | Babylon 5 is an American space opera television series - figarooooooo, figaroooooo | 13:35 |
| diddledan | I saw a few eps in it's first run but didn't work out the schedule until I'd missed loads - I have since watched it properly and fully in box-set binge mode via downloaded video | 13:36 |
| diddledan | it is pretty epic | 13:36 |
| ujjain | yeah, people talk good about it, but I dont know if I'd enjoy something so old | 13:37 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: man it's old enough to drink and America wow | 13:38 |
| diddledan | davmor2, aye | 13:38 |
| diddledan | davmor2, and do n0rtybusiness too | 13:38 |
| ujjain | I read yesterday on the internet that you can have a credit card before 18 in the US. | 13:38 |
| daftykins | i think i saw a little bit of Babylon5 on TV, but yeah broadcast ruins most things | 13:40 |
| daftykins | especially when a sci-fi is on during the day | 13:40 |
| diddledan | the proliferation of cheap rerun channels in the uk has meant that they're airing multiple seasons in different slots so you think "ooh, I've been watching X, and it's just about to come on" only to realise you've either already seen it or it's two seasons ahead of where you were last | 13:42 |
