JamesTaitzmoylan-pi, what could possibly go wrong?09:15
MartijnVdSzmoylan-pi: it's the bomb?09:15
davmor2JamesTait: yes the clue is, it's in the shop down the road with a price tag on it09:15
davmor2JamesTait: now go find it09:15
zmoylan-pithe clue is to look for the sign 'clearance sale'09:16
JamesTaitdavmor2, hopefully a much smaller price tag than last week, what with the main event being over and done with.09:16

MyrttiI had that when we were in London for 9.04 release party12:15
Myrttidavmor2: it already goes bright red in this sun12:15
Myrttiso you'd have to think of something else12:15
x85i know i can but it requires the refind boot loader12:15

AzelphurHmm, anyone smart with train tickets? Going from Margate, Kent to Hounslow for a hotel right outside Heathrow, then when I return I wanna go straight back to Margate, do I have to get two separate tickets for that or can I do it on a return?12:38
MartijnVdSAzelphur: margate eh? :) I'm staying there for a night next month :)12:40
AzelphurMartijnVdS: really? I live here. Maybe I'll say hello :)12:40
MartijnVdSAzelphur: yeah, going to Dunkirk -> Dover (sleep in Margate), then driving around the south a bit12:42
Azelphurcool12:42
davmor2x85: you can just install it on most apple macs it will just overwrite what is there, unless you create free space.  I think refind is only needed if you want to daul boot12:43
Azelphuryea, where ever you are you'll be within walking distance of me12:43
AzelphurMartijnVdS: what ya doing here, having a holiday?12:44
MartijnVdSAzelphur: yeah12:44
MartijnVdSfilling up my camera's SD card ;)12:44
Azelphurcool :)12:44
AzelphurMartijnVdS: if you're into old British buildings and stuff, you'll want to hit up Sandwich12:45
MartijnVdS*opens google maps*12:45
Azelphurand Broadstairs is kinda cool too, it's where Charles Dickens used to live, so you can see bleak house and some other stuff12:45
Azelphurit's all relatively close by, if you're after sight seeing / camera fodder12:46
MartijnVdSI'll add it to my list of places to visit :)12:46
Azelphurand if you need any assistance / have questions or whatever, feel free to hit me up :)12:47
MartijnVdSok! :)12:51
AzelphurMartijnVdS: amusingly my apartment is kinda camera fodder too, https://www.google.com/search?q=the+royal+seabathing+hospital+margate&safe=off&client=ubuntu&hs=7cp&channel=fs&gl=uk&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=FNMjVdz5Ho25aayugdAJ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1707&bih=90012:52
MartijnVdSAzelphur: my hotel for the night is 5 minutes away, on the eastern esplanade12:54
MartijnVdS(also you live in a hospital?!)12:54
zmoylan-pino warning bells there whatsoever... :-P12:55
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yea most of the hotels are up there, I walk up there all the time12:55
AzelphurMartijnVdS: haha, it's a former hospital, it was abandoned back in the 60s? I think and then converted into apartments about 10 years ago.12:55
davmor2popey: how long before your desktop pc looks like this http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=172512:56
zmoylan-pii would have thought by now that the mac mini size and shape would have been standardised on so that you could create a mini hifh shaped stack of external components to do what you want12:57
MartijnVdSzmoylan-pi: looks like Intel's nuc form factor is more like that12:58
AzelphurMartijnVdS: oh Margate also has a free art gallery, if you're into art12:58
Azelphurme and the gf found it really weird when we went though...it's all weird art :P12:58
MartijnVdSAzelphur: osm12:58
MartijnVdSisn't most art? :P12:58
zmoylan-pibut a lot of manufacturers assume you are going to dedicate a lot of deskspace to some weird oddly shaped device of theirs12:58
Azelphurosm?12:58
MartijnVdSAzelphur: typo12:59
AzelphurMartijnVdS: dunno, usually I figure art is like, paintings12:59
MartijnVdSalso missed backspace and hit enter instead 8-)12:59
Azelphurnot actors pretending to be dead on the floor12:59
Azelphuror photos of dudes wearing t-shirts with nipple holes cut out12:59
