zmoylan-pistill a less embarrassing name than uranus10:33
SuperEngineer...unless you're a plutocrat of course ;)10:37
zmoylan-pii won't hold my breath that i would ever rise so far10:39
rtyuihi11:47
rtyuianyone using vi as texteditor ?11:47
davmor2rtyui: I use vim11:48
diploYep11:48
diddledanemacs is better *duck*11:49
awilkinsYeah, but vim is better *chicken*11:49
rtyuiwell, well sounds good11:50
bashrcemacs here11:50
rtyuimy question is how to make a zoom on vi ?11:50
diddledanerr.11:51
awilkinsChange the font to a larger point size11:51
awilkinsIf it's vi-on-a-terminal you'll have to change the terminal font11:51
rtyuii m expecting such as a combinaison of key to make it possible11:51
rtyuiwithout changint the terminal font11:51
awilkinsIt isn't possible without changing the terminal font. vi is not a GUI text editor - it doesn't have any font rendering ability of it's own11:52
davmor2rtyui: vim/vi font size is the terminal apps font and size11:52
rtyuiwell still not got my answer11:53
rtyuii m expecting such as a combinaison of key to make it possible11:53
rtyuiand also to connect on ubuntu server i m using putty11:54
zmoylan-piit isn't possible rtyui11:54
intrbizrtyui: vi operates purely in a text domain, it has no concept of what a font is or its size11:54
davmor2rtyui: you got your answer.  You can't you need to change the terminal font size,  vi/vim are a terminal app so it uses the font and font size of the terminal, so you need to change the font size in the terminal11:54
awilkinsIf your terminal is putty, it's pretty easy to tell it to render in a larger font11:56
intrbizrtyui: it in the terminal emulator which is rendering the text using a font, In putty you can change the font size under: window -> appearance11:56
rtyuiOK now i got it11:57
rtyuibut it not pratical to do so, each time we need to change the font size temporarely11:58
rtyuion my firefox i m using ctrl + keys to make the size modifie temporarely then ctrl - to  back to previous mode11:59
rtyuii would like to do so with vi*12:00
diploWell you can't, Firefox is a GUI app, vi is a terminal app. You could use a IDE if you prefer like Geany/Gedit etc12:03
rtyuiwell, it's all complicate12:06

czajkowskidavmor2: if you lived close you could be joining my co working house day :)21:27
davmor2czajkowski: no I wouldn't you would run out of power points too quickly21:28
diddledanmy work area, read: the place I spend most of my waking hours when at home, has a decided lack of those power points - it only has about 20ish21:29
diddledanmaybe 30ish?21:30
diddledanwhatever, it's not enough21:30
diddledanI really need to tidy the cables21:31
diddledanbirds' nest is an understatement21:31
czajkowskidavmor2: no it's usually my access point that has the issues :/21:31
czajkowskibut there were 3 of us last week and lots of gadgets21:31
shaunouff, why does scp have to be awkward22:54
shaunossh wants -p port, scp wants -P port.  ssh wants uesr@v6:ad:dr:ess, scp wants user@[v6:ad:dr:ess] .. it's hard to believe they're related sometimes22:55
zmoylan-pi2 relatives with completely opposing ways of doing things... yet you say you're in ireland... :-)23:00
shaunoheh23:01
shaunoif you mean what I think you do, the uk & ireland don't have opposing ways of doing things23:01
shaunothey do things exactly the same way, and still fight over who's right23:01
zmoylan-pino no i meant 2 irish people from same family :-D23:02
shaunoah.  I don't know many irish people :)23:02
shaunoI've only been here 8 years, so most people I know are polish & romanian23:02
diddledandoes ireland actually have any irish left?23:02
zmoylan-pilots23:03
zmoylan-piwe're exporting irish people again23:03
diddledanhmm, I figured they had all left for the new world23:03
shaunoI'm pretty convinced galway doesn't.  they're all either hiding in mayo poking the bog with sticks.  or working in australia/canada23:03
zmoylan-pithe celtic tiger brought lots of foreigners here but they seem to be leaving now23:03
shaunoit's a big part of why I love this city.  no-one cares that you're an immigrant, you've probably been here longer than them :)23:04
zmoylan-piprobably the weather23:04
zmoylan-piwell since we liberated it from the indians we've been much more tolerant /fr ted reference23:04
shaunohttp://connachttribune.ie/one-in-four-city-people-born-outside-ireland/23:06
zmoylan-pigalway is a gathering spot for american tourists who want to live in ireland a few years.23:14
shaunoseem's like a sensible enough choice :)23:15
shaunogiven that limmerick is scary, dublin is .. well, dublin.  and the PRC may as well be a different country.23:16
diddledanpeople's republic of china?23:17
diddledanis that not already a different country?23:17
zmoylan-pithey prc wishes it were.  but would settle for been the capital of the island23:17
zmoylan-pipeoples republic of cork.  cork is a strange town23:17
zmoylan-piwe have the phrase more irish than the irish themselves for immigrants who live here a few years.  cork is more irish than the irish.  see statutes of kilkenny23:18
