awilkinsAnyone else getting the "Firefox has prevented... Adobe Flash" thing?13:26
awilkinsEven on pages with no Flash on them?13:29
davmor2awilkins: it might be that an advert has flash somewhere on the page13:33
davmor2awilkins: you'll be surprised at how many now default to a static advert if a browser doesn't support flash13:34
awilkinsdavmor2, This page is a Ruby on Rails site ("tracks") running on my own personal Raspberry Pi13:36
davmor2awilkins: then it just hates you :P13:37
awilkinsgmail isn't doing it13:37
awilkinsThere can't be a flash thing on this, surely...13:37
awilkinsOk, tell a lie13:37
awilkinsThere's some kind of Flash chart thing in it somewhere13:38
awilkinsNo Flash update though13:39
awilkinsDon't want to just randomly push the button in Firefox to upgrade it13:39
awilkinsOn the presumption this will ruin the distro installation13:39

Seeker`http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv launch in ~6 mins14:04
MartijnVdSwhat's going up today?14:05
zmoylan-piprice of butter in nigeria :-P14:05
MartijnVdS...14:05
MartijnVdSzmoylan-pi: smooth14:05
Seeker`http://www.nasa.gov/missions/schedule/#.VMo-I2isV8E14:05
MartijnVdSa soil moisture monitoring thing.. interdasting14:06
zmoylan-pisoil moisture device... in space... won't that make it harder to take a reading? :-)14:06
Seeker`oh, holding at T-4 mins14:06
Seeker`for 10 mins14:07
Seeker`that seems silly14:07
MartijnVdSthey always do holds14:08
MartijnVdSand yes it seems silly :)14:08
zmoylan-pisomeone explained this, they have a checklist they go through and t-4 is the place on the checklist.14:08
MartijnVdSah, synchronisation point basically14:09
Seeker`It means that they can go from where they are to launching in 4 minutes14:09
Seeker`so they hit "we can go in 4 mins" then double check their launch target14:09
Seeker`and start the last 4 minute countdown 4 minutes before their launch window14:09
MartijnVdSSeeker`: I never have to do that in KSP14:09
zmoylan-pimore, there's 4 minutes of tasks we need to complete before we can launch but have stopped right now while checking something that might cause a problem14:09
Seeker`zmoylan-pi: I think this is standard14:10
MartijnVdSzmoylan-pi: nope, they check in the hold14:10
Seeker`they did just adjust the launch window back by 2 minutes14:10
Seeker`aww14:15
Seeker`scrubbed for today14:15

Laneyboo, no Feel at Home in .be15:05
MartijnVdSFeel at Home?15:06
MartijnVdSalso, I can imagine nobody would Feel that in .be :)15:06
Laneywhere you get to use your Three tariff abroad, including data15:09
zmoylan-pibuy a local prepay sim15:10
Laneyhaha15:11
Laneythanks for the advice15:11
directhexzmoylan-pi: it'd be nice not to need to15:12
directhexzmoylan-pi: e.g. i'm going to the US this weekend, i get data roaming15:12
zmoylan-piit would, but the silly prices for data roaming make it the easier less painful choice15:13
Laneythat's the point of feel at home ...15:13
directhexzmoylan-pi: £0 is cheap.15:13
directhexzmoylan-pi: me and Laney pay £0 for data roaming to a list of a couple of dozen countries. the moan is that .be is not on the list15:14
zmoylan-piwell not quite 0 as you are already paying for the service :-)15:14
directhexzmoylan-pi: data roaming *is* expensive normally though. when i left orange, i told them it was £2.4 million a year cheaper on three due to the roaming costs15:14
directhex(this number is a lie, as my contract only covers 3 months' roaming per year, so it's only £600,000 cheaper)15:15
* zmoylan-pi usually manages to make €5 last 2-3 months on prepay... :-)15:16
directhexi have a £15 a month contract. which covers 100 minutes, 5000 sms, and unlimited data, per month. when roaming it's capped to 25GB15:16
shaunoI accidentally racked up a e1200 bill roaming, a few years back :/15:17
directhexthe list of supported countries is at http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home#dest15:17
zmoylan-pithe joy of prepay is that you can't run up a huge bill, just find the phone stops working when you run out of credit :-)15:17
directhexOrange was £8 per meg in the USA, so 25GB at £8 per meg was £200,00015:18
MartijnVdSdirecthex: whoa15:19
MartijnVdSUS is €9,10/megabyte for me15:19
MartijnVdSAustralia is €0,24/MB15:20
* zmoylan-pi remembers a story from mists of time when someone in a company sent a copy of afterdark screensaver via satellite link at work to office on different continent and it cost a few grand...15:20
directhexLaney: the solution is clear. we get fosdem moved to macau.15:22
zmoylan-pinah, mainland china, just to see how long the chinese firewall lasts :-P15:22
Laneythe company would totes pay for my travel there, too15:22
Laneys/fosdem/fosdam/15:23
MartijnVdSLaney: fosdam would be in Amsterdam :P15:24
directhexzmoylan-pi: mainland isn't included. just macau & hongkong15:26
