[04:36] <mapp> hi all
[05:44] <MartijnVdS> http://www.commitstrip.com/en/2015/02/17/have-you-tried-turning-it-off-and-on-again/
[07:08] <MooDoo> morning all
[09:37] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Pluto Discovery Day! :-D
[09:38] <shauno> poor pluto :(
[09:41] <MooDoo> morning
[09:48] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:48] <MooDoo> morning
[09:48] <zmoylan-pi> pluto had it coming... :-)
[09:50] <brobostigon> morning
[09:50] <brobostigon> lol.
[10:29] <davmor2> JamesTait: <best_Mickey_Mouse_impression> "Hey Pluto, here boy!"</best_Mickey_Mouse_impression>
[10:33] <zmoylan-pi> still a less embarrassing name than uranus
[10:37] <SuperEngineer> ...unless you're a plutocrat of course ;)
[10:39] <zmoylan-pi> i won't hold my breath that i would ever rise so far
[11:47] <rtyui> hi
[11:47] <rtyui> anyone using vi as texteditor ?
[11:48] <davmor2> rtyui: I use vim
[11:48] <diplo> Yep
[11:49] <diddledan> emacs is better *duck*
[11:49] <awilkins> Yeah, but vim is better *chicken*
[11:50] <rtyui> well, well sounds good
[11:50] <bashrc> emacs here
[11:50] <rtyui> my question is how to make a zoom on vi ?
[11:51] <diddledan> err.
[11:51] <awilkins> Change the font to a larger point size
[11:51] <awilkins> If it's vi-on-a-terminal you'll have to change the terminal font
[11:51] <rtyui> i m expecting such as a combinaison of key to make it possible
[11:51] <rtyui> without changint the terminal font
[11:52] <awilkins> It 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 own
[11:52] <davmor2> rtyui: vim/vi font size is the terminal apps font and size
[11:53] <rtyui> well still not got my answer
[11:53] <rtyui> i m expecting such as a combinaison of key to make it possible
[11:54] <rtyui> and also to connect on ubuntu server i m using putty
[11:54] <zmoylan-pi> it isn't possible rtyui
[11:54] <intrbiz> rtyui: vi operates purely in a text domain, it has no concept of what a font is or its size
[11:54] <davmor2> rtyui: 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 terminal
[11:56] <awilkins> If your terminal is putty, it's pretty easy to tell it to render in a larger font
[11:56] <intrbiz> rtyui: it in the terminal emulator which is rendering the text using a font, In putty you can change the font size under: window -> appearance
[11:57] <rtyui> OK now i got it
[11:58] <rtyui> but it not pratical to do so, each time we need to change the font size temporarely
[11:59] <rtyui> on my firefox i m using ctrl + keys to make the size modifie temporarely then ctrl - to  back to previous mode
[12:00] <rtyui> i would like to do so with vi*
[12:03] <diplo> Well you can't, Firefox is a GUI app, vi is a terminal app. You could use a IDE if you prefer like Geany/Gedit etc
[12:06] <rtyui> well, it's all complicate
[12:36] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[12:40] <intrbiz> morning
[12:41] <davmor2> bigcalm: morning muppet
[12:43] <bigcalm> Ug
[12:44] <popey> \o/ ug
[12:44] <zmoylan-pi> ug, the standard request of caffine deprived mammals for coffee
[12:45] <bigcalm> We now have at least 11 confirmed RAT attendees this year :)
[12:45] <bigcalm> popey: Can I suggest that you frame your RAT ticket and hang it on your office wall :)
[12:46] <popey> it hasn't arrived yet, so that will be hard
[12:46] <bigcalm> popey: quite true. I pondered adding that as a clarification point, but wanted some extra banter
[12:47]  * bigcalm is lonely
[12:47] <popey> awww
[12:47] <bigcalm> Cross referencing data between 2 databases on 2 different client servers. I want to lie down
[12:47] <bigcalm> davmor2: adpole?
[12:48] <davmor2> bigcalm: look at the letter Ad choose
[12:48] <bigcalm> t?
[12:48] <bigcalm> Oh
[12:48] <bigcalm> Ug
[12:49] <intrbiz> bigcalm: in the office or at home today?
[12:59] <bigcalm> At home today
[13:00] <bigcalm> In the office tomorrow as I'll be going to the rebellion in the evening
[15:30] <bigcalm> Tweet from BQ - "We are having a sale tomorrow at 9am (CET) at our site bq.com/gb/ubuntu.html"
[15:31] <bigcalm> Attempt #3 at 8am tomorrow then
[15:31] <intrbiz> bigcalm: really desperate for a UP then?
[15:32] <bigcalm> intrbiz: desperate is the wrong term. Eager maybe
[15:32] <bigcalm> I want the shiny toy
[15:33] <intrbiz> ah ok
[15:33] <bigcalm> And hope that it doesn't end up like the palm pre ;)
[15:33] <intrbiz> hehe
[15:34] <intrbiz> it's interesting, that there are now 3 platforms along a similar approach to WebOs
[18:18] <stevepdp> evening all
[18:18] <popey> hello
[18:19] <brobostigon> quiz night tmrw, :)
[18:45] <bigcalm> Busy afternoons
[18:48] <popey> yes!
[19:43] <davmor2> bigcalm: not that you'd notice
[19:54] <bigcalm> davmor2: humm?
[19:54] <bigcalm> davmor2: I'm still at home working. Hoping to leave soon for the LUG
[19:55] <SuperEngineer> bigcalm, that's the strangest spelling of PUB I've ever seen ;)
[19:56] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: it means Pub with like minded geeks in it
[19:58] <SuperEngineer> :)
[19:58] <SuperEngineer> ...not to mention a couple of like-minded pints!
[19:58] <bigcalm> I'm no good to myself, as I get the laptop out and carry on working at the LUG
[20:15] <brobostigon> if you happen to be in north oxfordshire tmrw night, :)
[20:51] <diddledan> evenink
[20:52] <davmor2> diddledan: what you printing on that lithograph that you need such even ink ;)
[20:52] <diddledan> :-p
[21:13]  * czajkowski hugs davmor2 
[21:14] <davmor2> czajkowski: put me down I don't know where you've been ;) How's you
[21:18] <diddledan> davmor2, where've you been?
[21:19] <diddledan> davmor2, obviously once you've told me I'm going to hug you! :-p

[21:19] <davmor2> diddledan: behind my desk
[21:19]  * diddledan hugs davmor2 
[21:19] <davmor2> diddledan: czajkowski goes out through the door and all sorts though
[21:20] <diddledan> oh golly gosh
[21:20] <diddledan> that's skeery stuff
[21:20] <diddledan> czajkowski, are you one of those.. mythic.. you know.. normal people?
[21:21] <diddledan> I say pitchforks are required
[21:25] <davmor2> diddledan: I've met czajkowski my money is on you wearing the pitchfork ;)
[21:25] <diddledan> teehee
[21:26] <diddledan> does my bum look big in this?
[21:27] <czajkowski> :o
[21:27] <czajkowski> davmor2: oi now be nice
[21:27] <czajkowski> davmor2: if you lived close you could be joining my co working house day :)
[21:28] <davmor2> czajkowski: no I wouldn't you would run out of power points too quickly
[21:29] <diddledan> my 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 20ish
[21:30] <diddledan> maybe 30ish?
[21:30] <diddledan> whatever, it's not enough
[21:31] <diddledan> I really need to tidy the cables
[21:31] <diddledan> birds' nest is an understatement
[21:31] <czajkowski> davmor2: no it's usually my access point that has the issues :/
[21:31] <czajkowski> but there were 3 of us last week and lots of gadgets
[22:54] <shauno> uff, why does scp have to be awkward
[22:55] <shauno> ssh 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 sometimes
[23:00] <zmoylan-pi> 2 relatives with completely opposing ways of doing things... yet you say you're in ireland... :-)
[23:01] <shauno> heh
[23:01] <shauno> if you mean what I think you do, the uk & ireland don't have opposing ways of doing things
[23:01] <shauno> they do things exactly the same way, and still fight over who's right
[23:02] <zmoylan-pi> no no i meant 2 irish people from same family :-D
[23:02] <shauno> ah.  I don't know many irish people :)
[23:02] <shauno> I've only been here 8 years, so most people I know are polish & romanian
[23:02] <diddledan> does ireland actually have any irish left?
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> lots
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> we're exporting irish people again
[23:03] <diddledan> hmm, I figured they had all left for the new world
[23:03] <shauno> I'm pretty convinced galway doesn't.  they're all either hiding in mayo poking the bog with sticks.  or working in australia/canada
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> the celtic tiger brought lots of foreigners here but they seem to be leaving now
[23:04] <shauno> it'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-pi> probably the weather
[23:04] <zmoylan-pi> well since we liberated it from the indians we've been much more tolerant /fr ted reference
[23:06] <shauno> http://connachttribune.ie/one-in-four-city-people-born-outside-ireland/
[23:14] <zmoylan-pi> galway is a gathering spot for american tourists who want to live in ireland a few years.
[23:15] <shauno> seem's like a sensible enough choice :)
[23:16] <shauno> given that limmerick is scary, dublin is .. well, dublin.  and the PRC may as well be a different country.
[23:17] <diddledan> people's republic of china?
[23:17] <diddledan> is that not already a different country?
[23:17] <zmoylan-pi> they prc wishes it were.  but would settle for been the capital of the island
[23:17] <zmoylan-pi> peoples republic of cork.  cork is a strange town
[23:18] <zmoylan-pi> we 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 kilkenny
