| awilkins | Anyone know why I can't import python packages I've definitely just installed (via the package manager?) | 12:00 |
| penguin42 | a 2 vs 3 thing? | 12:01 |
| awilkins | Hmm, maybe, tried both 2 and 3 though | 12:02 |
| awilkins | Ok... i) the apt package isn't the package I was looking for so it's root namespace is different | 12:06 |
| awilkins | ii) Once you find that out it works in 2 but not 3 | 12:06 |
| awilkins | I do think the friction between the Python / Ruby and Debian package management is annoying | 12:07 |
| penguin42 | yeh it always happens when you have two different package management systems | 12:07 |
| directhex_ | It's Complicated | 12:12 |
| directhex_ | as is everything i seem to ever comment on | 12:12 |
| penguin42 | well you wouldn't want to comment on anything so simple that it was below you | 12:14 |
| directhex_ | true :p | 12:24 |
| directhex_ | but your summary was reasonable | 12:25 |
| mappps | yay | 16:47 |
| mappps | leaving now;D holiday time | 16:47 |
| foobarry | anyone tried the fitness tracker bands? | 20:14 |
| foobarry | to monitor sleep and walkies | 20:14 |
| daftykins | chap i know got given a fitbit a bit ago | 20:14 |
| daftykins | seems to use a web based stat tracker on the PC | 20:15 |
| daftykins | so must run a local server | 20:15 |
| foobarry | the xiaomi one is v cheap and you use an android/apple app | 20:15 |
| diddledan | I've got an ms band (as of wednesday) | 20:15 |
| diddledan | doubles as a watch | 20:15 |
| foobarry | multiple sclerosis? | 20:16 |
| diddledan | apparently my heart-rate goes down to about 55 when I'm asleep | 20:16 |
| diddledan | err. no. microsoft | 20:16 |
| foobarry | oh | 20:16 |
| foobarry | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xiaomi-Lightweight-Smart-Bluetooth4-0-Bracelet-Black/dp/B00RMO0T5I | 20:16 |
| foobarry | these are v cheap | 20:16 |
| foobarry | i dont think it measures heart rate though | 20:16 |
| foobarry | just sleep and walking | 20:16 |
| foobarry | and notification vibrate | 20:17 |
| popey | foobarry: i have a fitbit | 20:18 |
| popey | blimety that xiaomi thing is cheap | 20:20 |
| foobarry | only does 2 things | 20:20 |
| foobarry | my bro in law has one | 20:21 |
| popey | the fitbit only does two things | 20:21 |
| popey | (the one I have) | 20:21 |
| popey | but mine is an older version, the first band | 20:21 |
| foobarry | popey: fitbit is a gimmick or useful? | 20:22 |
| foobarry | maybe i just like the idea of collecting data | 20:22 |
| popey | its good for setting targets | 20:23 |
| popey | and can wake you gently | 20:23 |
| popey | and monitor your sleep pattern | 20:23 |
| popey | so has valid uses | 20:23 |
| foobarry | i haz no targets | 20:23 |
| popey | if any of those are important to you. | 20:23 |
| popey | 10k steps a day is a good target | 20:23 |
| foobarry | but is fun for comparing steps vs wife | 20:23 |
| popey | a good starter anyway | 20:23 |
| popey | yeah | 20:23 |
| foobarry | do u stil use it? | 20:25 |
| popey | no | 20:31 |
| popey | not often | 20:31 |
| popey | yet another thing to keep charged | 20:31 |
| daftykins | i reckon that's their main issue, all this fitness lark | 20:32 |
| popey | i did use a phone based one on the iphone a while back | 20:33 |
| popey | "Moves" | 20:33 |
| popey | which was really rather well done. | 20:33 |
| popey | counted steps as you'd expect but also provided little maps of where you did the steps | 20:34 |
| popey | so was dead handy for doing things like looking back over a week and seeing where you ate when you come to do your expenses | 20:34 |
| daftykins | another average day on the main roads of Guernsey - https://www.dropbox.com/s/5y8ngn723zc8ba3/IMG_20150419_181747.jpg?dl=0 | 20:34 |
| foobarry | the xiaomi one lasts 30 days or so allegedly | 20:36 |
| foobarry | don't quote me on that tho | 20:36 |
