[00:11] daftykins: rather you than me [00:11] intrbiz: why-so? easy peasy :D [00:12] daftykins: dust allergy :( [00:12] ah [00:13] 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] 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] daftykins: or more to the point, when distrubing the dust [00:15] ah ok [00:15] no clean rooms then :D [00:16] 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] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/26/ventblockers_2/ [00:30] must be on kitchen computer. === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [02:59] http://sirius.clarity-lab.org/ === m0nkey_ is now known as m0nkey_|away === m0nkey_|away is now known as m0nkey_ [03:04] shouldn't it be drunkm0nkey now? :-) [04:17] lol @ danish air traffic control when a leap second is due : "ok, flights, we're going off-air now. tata. good luck" [04:17] discovered in this talk: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/fosdem/2015/main_track-time/ntimed_ntpd_replacement.mp4 [04:17] about 25 minutes [04:17] 25 minutes-in [05:21] no wonder you can't sleep [05:22] n === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [07:35] morning all [07:37] hey moodoo [07:47] kids got me up lol [07:47] isn't that what they're for? alarm clocks? :P [07:56] lol [10:13] 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] 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] good old mechanical baird tv :-) [12:51] spin up the nipkov disk! [12:52] hmmm- have a look at theitr charter - they are required to provide *full* access - withiut bias [12:52] *without [12:53] 'withiut bias' reads like proper bbc english :-) [12:53] yes, one fully agrees the previous staement [12:53] 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] ...don't forget to show us the one you made earlier [12:57] The question is, however, who/what/when/why did they change their tolerance of get-iplayer [12:58] ...was it the same a*hole who also said, "make'em suffer - don't even provode a linux download [12:58] *provide [13:19] hmmm - trying to [buffering] watch last week's grand [buffering] prix via i- [buffering] player really [buffering] sucks [13:28] does get_iplayer no longer work? [13:28] well the bbc has a blind spot when it comes to technology, their journalists think that only iphones exist for some reason [13:32] SuperEngineer: do you have the github version [13:32] the one from the repos stopped working ages ago methinks [13:38] yeah, latest seems to work okay here [13:46] Myrtti, actually no - I have the repo version [13:47] yeah, that's why it doesn't work [13:47] BBC nixed an API the repo version used [13:47] 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] file a bug [14:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/get-iplayer/+bugs [14:07] oh look, bugs [14:07] SURELY NOT! [14:08] & who hit my caps lock - oh, yeah, me! doh! [14:10] someone needs to update it in vivid, then backport it [14:11] or just remove it if nobody is maintaining it [14:11] * popey looks at Daviey [14:54] 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!] === m0nkey_|away is now known as m0nkey_ === m0nkey_|away is now known as m0nkey_ [17:18] back from my nerdfest modelshow [17:18] full on scale model geekery [17:19] rather akin to oggcamp/linux geekery i've seen. seems to attract the same types [17:38] what types of model? [17:42] <_TROLL_> ubuntu is crap [17:43] ok. [17:43] ah a nice honest troll [17:45] all sorts [17:45] https://plus.google.com/photos/114715399750849495601/albums/6128745942942175857?authkey=CIamjpqT75bwpgE [17:45] at least troll had the decency to annoucne himself as troll [18:55] the rugby seems awefully exciting, but I've no idea what's going on [18:58] that, *that*, was one of the best games of rugby I've watched in ages... no ^N cup [^ points short] - but wow! [19:00] *6N ... & 6... and whoops somethings happened with keyboard.. guess I'g better go changre the batteries! [19:02] not sure I've ever seen them look so sad about beating france though [19:02] now lets try... 6! &6! .... wow, new batteries make a wee bit of difference :D [19:02] shauno - it's a shame, but they should be proud [19:03] I only pay attention so I know what to say at work :/ [19:03] shame on you! [19:04] :) [19:04] rugby for me is tainted with some very dark memories of school [19:04] ...confuse them, tell them at work that you thought Sweden played the best match :D [19:05] as an englishman living in ireland, letting them win but giving them a fright is quite a convenient narative [19:05] hmmmmm [19:06] ever thought of becoming a politician ;) [19:07] I couldn't do that. my poor mother would die of shame [19:07] :) [19:10] [rugby players wearing suits mostly like bouncers] [19:11] [I wonder if he knows we can hear him thinking] [19:11] .................... I can't! [19:25] 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] is there any way to install ubuntu server 14.04 via usb stick? [19:26] I've had a quick go but [19:26] using unetbootin the installer complains that it can't find the cd [19:28] KrimZon: You should just be able to dd it straight to the stick [19:29] 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] aha, thanks, i'll give that a go [19:36] this looks more promising [19:39] KrimZon: Out of interest what machine are you booting it on? [19:48] an atom d510 motherboard i bought in 2010 or 2011 [19:48] installing over ubuntu server 10.04 [19:50] ok [19:51] i can't remember the model name [19:51] and the manual isn't in the easiest-to-dig-out box of manuals [19:52] no no, don't worry about it [19:55] it's old anyway, and last time I installed it I plugged a CD drive in [19:56] '10 isnt old! [19:59] it's old enough that i was worried some devices wouldn't boot from usb [20:03] unless I was thinking of something else [20:04] nah, not in '10 === nigerSLAVEgg is now known as leviathaan
