intrbizdaftykins: dust allergy :(00:12
daftykinsah00:12
daftykinshow far do you have to go with protecting yourself from that? if you were in a room with a dusty floor would you notice?00:13
intrbizdaftykins: urm it's only an issue when very dusty, so when cleaning servers out or dusting the house I tend to take a hayfever tablet00:14
intrbizdaftykins: or more to the point, when distrubing the dust00:14
daftykinsah ok00:15

brobostigonmorning boys and girls.10:13
* SuperEngineer is annoyed with the beeb - they block get-iplayer but don't provide a linux download - only a Windows & Mac version - really beeb, you think that matches your charter? I don't. hurumph!12:46
penguin42SuperEngineer: Oh the Beeb have been doing that for 100 years+ since their choice of which TV standard to use in the days of early TV sets12:47
zmoylan-pi good old mechanical baird tv :-)12:50
penguin42spin up the nipkov disk!12:51
SuperEngineerhmmm- have a look at theitr charter - they are required to provide *full* access - withiut bias12:52
SuperEngineer*without12:52
zmoylan-pi'withiut bias' reads like proper bbc english :-)12:53
SuperEngineeryes, one fully agrees the previous staement12:53
SuperEngineerlol12:53
* SuperEngineer takes plum out of cheek12:54
* zmoylan-pi prints that on a sign and using sticky back plastic attaches it to the wall12:54
SuperEngineer...don't forget to show us the one you made earlier12:54
SuperEngineerThe question is, however, who/what/when/why did they change their tolerance of get-iplayer12:57
SuperEngineer...was it the same a*hole who also said, "make'em suffer - don't even provode a linux download12:58
SuperEngineer*provide12:58
SuperEngineerhmmm - trying to [buffering] watch last week's grand [buffering] prix via i- [buffering] player really [buffering] sucks13:19
popeydoes get_iplayer no longer work?13:28
zmoylan-piwell the bbc has a blind spot when it comes to technology, their journalists think that only iphones exist for some reason13:28
MyrttiSuperEngineer: do you have the github version13:32
Myrttithe one from the repos stopped working ages ago methinks13:32
popeyyeah, latest seems to work okay here13:38
SuperEngineerMyrtti, actually no -  I have the repo version13:46
Myrttiyeah, that's why it doesn't work13:47
MyrttiBBC nixed an API the repo version used13:47
SuperEngineerhurumph!13:47
* SuperEngineer avoids asking the obvious ["then why is it still in the repos - coz that would be annoying, wouldn't it] :D14:06
popeyfile a bug14:06
popeyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/get-iplayer/+bugs14:07
popeyoh look, bugs14:07
SuperEngineerSURELY NOT!14:07
SuperEngineer& who hit my caps lock - oh, yeah, me!  doh!14:08
popeysomeone needs to update it in vivid, then backport it14:10
popeyor just remove it if nobody is maintaining it14:11
* popey looks at Daviey14:11

shaunothe rugby seems awefully exciting, but I've no idea what's going on18:55
SuperEngineerthat, *that*, was one of the best games of rugby I've watched in ages... no ^N cup [^ points short] - but wow!18:58
SuperEngineer*6N ... & 6... and whoops somethings happened with keyboard.. guess I'g better go changre the batteries!19:00
shaunonot sure I've ever seen them look so sad about beating france though19:02
SuperEngineernow lets try... 6! &6! .... wow, new batteries make a wee bit of difference :D19:02
SuperEngineershauno - it's a shame, but they should be proud19:02
shaunoI only pay attention so I know what to say at work :/19:03
SuperEngineershame on you!19:03
shauno:)19:04
shaunorugby for me is tainted with some very dark memories of school19:04
SuperEngineer...confuse them, tell them at work that you thought Sweden played the best match :D19:04
shaunoas an englishman living in ireland, letting them win but giving them a fright is quite a convenient narative19:05
SuperEngineerhmmmmm19:05
SuperEngineerever thought of becoming a politician ;)19:06
shaunoI couldn't do that.  my poor mother would die of shame19:07
SuperEngineer:)19:07
SuperEngineer[rugby players wearing suits mostly like bouncers]19:10
shauno[I wonder if he knows we can hear him thinking]19:11
SuperEngineer.................... I can't!19:11
SuperEngineerIn retrospect, all it would have taken for England to get those final 6 points was a vet with a  sedative air dart gun in the crowd - shame on all you vets - you let us down!19:25
KrimZonis there any way to install ubuntu server 14.04 via usb stick?19:25
KrimZonI've had a quick go but19:26
KrimZonusing unetbootin the installer complains that it can't find the cd19:26
penguin42KrimZon: You should just be able to dd it straight to the stick19:28
penguin42KrimZon: If your usb stick is /dev/sdX then dd if=ubuntu14.04.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1024k   note don't put the '1' at the end if it's /dev/sdX119:29
KrimZonaha, thanks, i'll give that a go19:30
KrimZonthis looks more promising19:36
penguin42KrimZon: Out of interest what machine are you booting it on?19:39
KrimZonan atom d510 motherboard i bought in 2010 or 201119:48
KrimZoninstalling over ubuntu server 10.0419:48
penguin42ok19:50
KrimZoni can't remember the model name19:51
KrimZonand the manual isn't in the easiest-to-dig-out box of manuals19:51
penguin42no no, don't worry about it19:52
KrimZonit's old anyway, and last time I installed it I plugged a CD drive in19:55
penguin42 '10 isnt old!19:56
KrimZonit's old enough that i was worried some devices wouldn't boot from usb19:59
KrimZonunless I was thinking of something else20:03
penguin42nah, not in '1020:04
