[00:03] <Myrtti> m0nkey_: photos tomorrow, we're browsing through them first
[00:03] <Myrtti> 9GB's worth...
[00:04] <daftykins> not many then ;)
[00:04] <daftykins> cleaned up some PCs today \o/

[00:04] <daftykins> they all suffer from workshop dust-itis
[00:05] <m0nkey_> Myrtti, about time! :-) Been waiting for them!
[00:11] <intrbiz> daftykins: rather you than me
[00:11] <daftykins> intrbiz: why-so? easy peasy :D
[00:12] <intrbiz> daftykins: dust allergy :(
[00:12] <daftykins> ah
[00:13] <daftykins> how far do you have to go with protecting yourself from that? if you were in a room with a dusty floor would you notice?
[00:14] <intrbiz> daftykins: urm it's only an issue when very dusty, so when cleaning servers out or dusting the house I tend to take a hayfever tablet
[00:14] <intrbiz> daftykins: or more to the point, when distrubing the dust
[00:15] <daftykins> ah ok
[00:15] <daftykins> no clean rooms then :D
[00:16] <intrbiz> I tend not to tidy around often, but that is more laziness
[00:17]  * zmoylan-pi wonders if i still have a manky pcs i cleaned out folder...
[00:22] <intrbiz> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/26/ventblockers_2/
[00:30] <zmoylan-pi> must be on kitchen computer.
[02:59] <diddledan> http://sirius.clarity-lab.org/
[03:04] <zmoylan-pi> shouldn't it be drunkm0nkey now? :-)
[04:17] <diddledan> lol @ danish air traffic control when a leap second is due : "ok, flights, we're going off-air now. tata. good luck"
[04:17] <diddledan> discovered in this talk: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/fosdem/2015/main_track-time/ntimed_ntpd_replacement.mp4
[04:17] <diddledan> about 25 minutes
[04:17] <diddledan> 25 minutes-in
[05:21] <shauno> no wonder you can't sleep
[05:22] <mapp> n
[07:35] <MooDoo> morning all
[07:37] <MartijnVdS> hey moodoo
[07:47] <MooDoo> kids got me up lol
[07:47] <MartijnVdS> isn't that what they're for? alarm clocks? :P
[07:56] <MooDoo> lol
[10:13] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[12:46]  * 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!
[12:47] <penguin42> SuperEngineer: 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 sets
[12:50] <zmoylan-pi>  good old mechanical baird tv :-)
[12:51] <penguin42> spin up the nipkov disk!
[12:52] <SuperEngineer> hmmm- have a look at theitr charter - they are required to provide *full* access - withiut bias
[12:52] <SuperEngineer> *without
[12:53] <zmoylan-pi> 'withiut bias' reads like proper bbc english :-)
[12:53] <SuperEngineer> yes, one fully agrees the previous staement
[12:53] <SuperEngineer> lol
[12:54]  * SuperEngineer takes plum out of cheek
[12:54]  * zmoylan-pi prints that on a sign and using sticky back plastic attaches it to the wall
[12:54] <SuperEngineer> ...don't forget to show us the one you made earlier
[12:57] <SuperEngineer> The question is, however, who/what/when/why did they change their tolerance of get-iplayer
[12:58] <SuperEngineer> ...was it the same a*hole who also said, "make'em suffer - don't even provode a linux download
[12:58] <SuperEngineer> *provide
[13:19] <SuperEngineer> hmmm - trying to [buffering] watch last week's grand [buffering] prix via i- [buffering] player really [buffering] sucks
[13:28] <popey> does get_iplayer no longer work?
[13:28] <zmoylan-pi> well the bbc has a blind spot when it comes to technology, their journalists think that only iphones exist for some reason
[13:32] <Myrtti> SuperEngineer: do you have the github version
[13:32] <Myrtti> the one from the repos stopped working ages ago methinks
[13:38] <popey> yeah, latest seems to work okay here
[13:46] <SuperEngineer> Myrtti, actually no -  I have the repo version
[13:47] <Myrtti> yeah, that's why it doesn't work
[13:47] <Myrtti> BBC nixed an API the repo version used
[13:47] <SuperEngineer> hurumph!
[14:06]  * SuperEngineer avoids asking the obvious ["then why is it still in the repos - coz that would be annoying, wouldn't it]  :D
[14:06] <popey> file a bug
[14:07] <popey> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/get-iplayer/+bugs
[14:07] <popey> oh look, bugs
[14:07] <SuperEngineer> SURELY NOT!
[14:08] <SuperEngineer> & who hit my caps lock - oh, yeah, me!  doh!
[14:10] <popey> someone needs to update it in vivid, then backport it
[14:11] <popey> or just remove it if nobody is maintaining it
[14:11]  * popey looks at Daviey
[14:54] <SuperEngineer> The best thing about IRC is the fact you don't actually use your mouth - especially useful when you've just burnt your upper lip [hashtag damn, that hurts!]
[17:18] <foobarry> back from my nerdfest modelshow
[17:18] <foobarry> full on scale model geekery
[17:19] <foobarry> rather akin to oggcamp/linux geekery i've seen. seems to attract the same types
[17:38] <penguin42> what types of model?
[17:42] <_TROLL_> ubuntu is crap
[17:43] <Myrtti> ok.
[17:43] <penguin42> ah a nice honest troll
[17:45] <foobarry> all sorts
[17:45] <foobarry> https://plus.google.com/photos/114715399750849495601/albums/6128745942942175857?authkey=CIamjpqT75bwpgE
[17:45] <foobarry> at least troll had the decency to annoucne himself as troll
[18:55] <shauno> the rugby seems awefully exciting, but I've no idea what's going on
[18:58] <SuperEngineer> that, *that*, was one of the best games of rugby I've watched in ages... no ^N cup [^ points short] - but wow!
[19:00] <SuperEngineer> *6N ... & 6... and whoops somethings happened with keyboard.. guess I'g better go changre the batteries!
[19:02] <shauno> not sure I've ever seen them look so sad about beating france though
[19:02] <SuperEngineer> now lets try... 6! &6! .... wow, new batteries make a wee bit of difference :D
[19:02] <SuperEngineer> shauno - it's a shame, but they should be proud
[19:03] <shauno> I only pay attention so I know what to say at work :/
[19:03] <SuperEngineer> shame on you!
[19:04] <shauno> :)
[19:04] <shauno> rugby for me is tainted with some very dark memories of school
[19:04] <SuperEngineer> ...confuse them, tell them at work that you thought Sweden played the best match :D
[19:05] <shauno> as an englishman living in ireland, letting them win but giving them a fright is quite a convenient narative
[19:05] <SuperEngineer> hmmmmm
[19:06] <SuperEngineer> ever thought of becoming a politician ;)
[19:07] <shauno> I couldn't do that.  my poor mother would die of shame
[19:07] <SuperEngineer> :)
[19:10] <SuperEngineer> [rugby players wearing suits mostly like bouncers]
[19:11] <shauno> [I wonder if he knows we can hear him thinking]
[19:11] <SuperEngineer> .................... I can't!
[19:25] <SuperEngineer> In 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] <KrimZon> is there any way to install ubuntu server 14.04 via usb stick?
[19:26] <KrimZon> I've had a quick go but
[19:26] <KrimZon> using unetbootin the installer complains that it can't find the cd
[19:28] <penguin42> KrimZon: You should just be able to dd it straight to the stick
[19:29] <penguin42> KrimZon: 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/sdX1
[19:30] <KrimZon> aha, thanks, i'll give that a go
[19:36] <KrimZon> this looks more promising
[19:39] <penguin42> KrimZon: Out of interest what machine are you booting it on?
[19:48] <KrimZon> an atom d510 motherboard i bought in 2010 or 2011
[19:48] <KrimZon> installing over ubuntu server 10.04
[19:50] <penguin42> ok
[19:51] <KrimZon> i can't remember the model name
[19:51] <KrimZon> and the manual isn't in the easiest-to-dig-out box of manuals
[19:52] <penguin42> no no, don't worry about it
[19:55] <KrimZon> it's old anyway, and last time I installed it I plugged a CD drive in
[19:56] <penguin42>  '10 isnt old!
[19:59] <KrimZon> it's old enough that i was worried some devices wouldn't boot from usb
[20:03] <KrimZon> unless I was thinking of something else
[20:04] <penguin42> nah, not in '10
