[01:26] hello minsky [03:22] is it a bank holiday tomorrow? [03:30] I do hope so. [03:30] Oh wait, I don't get bank holidays. [03:34] someone told me it is (here in gib) [03:34] so is it in UK too? [03:35] i trasferred some money and it said 1 working day is why im wondering [03:35] I don't know. I don't have a UK calendar this year. [03:35] Usually I have one up in the study. [03:35] hm [03:36] I should pay my satellite television bill this week. [03:36] a month till i go back to Knightsbridge:D [03:37] Is that in London? [03:37] 24-29th may short visit [03:37] yea [03:37] where are you ? [03:37] Then back to gib:) [03:37] I live in Illinois, USA. [03:37] brb [03:38] nice [03:39] It's alright. Not like home but it has its good days. [03:40] where's home? [03:40] Wiltshire. [03:40] heard of [03:40] manchester? [03:40] I am aware of Manchester. [03:40] no i mean wiltshire is manchester? [03:41] No, Manchester's in the midlands I think. [03:41] where's wiltshire [03:41] Central Southern England, though we consider ourselves "West Country" I think. [03:42] ...which made Cornish frinds point and laugh. [03:42] oh [03:42] friends* [03:42] nowhere near surrey then? [03:42] thats where im from orig [03:43] I think my grandfather used to live in Surrey, on my mother's side. [03:44] nice place [03:44] * ball nods [03:44] I've been there once or twice. [03:44] Not in recent years though. [03:44] i swapped surrey/london for gib [03:44] doubt il ever move back really [03:45] mappps: I can relate to that. Even if I could afford to go back it would be a difficult transition. [03:45] yea [03:45] i haven;t lived with family for ~12 years (since uni) [03:46] no way i'd go back [03:46] and it's a super safe place here [03:46] like london muggings are normal..here it'd make front page news [04:01] * ball nods [04:01] Here they mostly just shoot you. [04:02] here it's just non existant [04:02] last month there was a murder..and everyone was worried [04:02] turned out the girlfriend murdered her kids boyfriend and killed herself [04:08] Well that's unfortunate. [05:12] mornin [05:15] * ball waves [05:18] heya ball ! hows it goin [05:19] Not too bad. I'm anout to turn in. [05:19] There are things I should be doing but I'm too tired to care. [05:19] just got up on this end of the blue sphere. [05:19] Knightwise: That makes sense. [05:19] hahah :) I'm in my productive hour. That quiet hour before the rush starts is when I pound everyone down with my caffinated emails :p [05:19] * ball grins [05:27] need to get my Raspberry pi 2 finalised today. [05:27] Was thinking of using it as a desktop by that is a little overkill. I have plenty of desktops and vms to play with. [05:32] My Raspberry Pi is running at the office. [05:33] I have a raspberry pi 1 running as my main terminal machine. I ssh into it, vpn into it, it runs irssi, telegram, my calibre server etc [05:33] very pleased with it :) [05:35] I like mine but I'm looking forward to the better NIC on the Raspberry Pi 2 [05:36] I'm gonna try to run Mate on mine. Always handy to have a gui , especially when I want to use it to drag new books into my calibre library [05:36] * Knightwise loves to read [05:37] * ball nods [05:37] I should charge up my Kobo [05:37] I have a Kobo too. use it mostly in the summer to read outdoors [05:38] when I read indoors or at night I use my tablet [05:38] I can understand that. [05:38] I've not tried Calibre though. [05:39] its great , The web browser on my Kobo even iterfaces with it :) [05:39] so i can download books off the calibre webserver on my PI straight to my Kobo [05:40] Nice. [05:41] I should go to bed. [05:41] Get some sleep dude :) [05:42] Thanks [05:42] I have to be up in a little under five hours [05:42] I need my 8 hours or i'm a zombie [07:01] morning all [07:25] hey MooDoo [07:25] how are you doing dude [07:37] Knightwise: yeah i'm doing ok thanks, you? [07:38] ok for a monday :) [07:43] there we go, my 2 mystery chips have been added to lspci [07:44] you have mystery chips?

[08:38] morning [08:38] \o [08:39] I installed *Debian* on my Laptop yesterday.. hadn't actually done that since Ubuntu 4.10 came out :) [08:39] golly [08:40] But somehow I've gotten used to that left sidebar thing ;) [08:40] :) [08:40] (and no other DE seems to provide one easily) [08:48] i moved plank to the left to make the switch easier for mrs foobarry === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:10] aloha [09:12] o/ [09:14] my workplace looks quite pleasant in the sun http://i.imgur.com/EabmdcV.jpg [09:17] looks nice [09:18] are you on a barge? [09:18] heh no onthe river bank [09:19] walking in to work [09:19] however the river boat people congregrate here in sunny weather [09:19] I have seen barges with solar panels, so it would be possible to live on a barge and stay connected [09:20] you can get wifi from the uni with a good antenna [09:20] there's a couple of ubuntu contributors who live on boats [09:20] break out the cantenna... :-) [09:20] they should probably have a mesh thing on house boats [09:21] Good morning all; happy Monday, and happy Tell a Story Day! :-D [09:22] and as soon as you made a mesh network some gobdaw would try and run netflix on it soaking up all the bandwidth === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [09:30] golly https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/592612273782423552 [09:31] popey: it's a pretty big thing I'm flying home to vote :) [09:31] no postal vote? [09:31] zmoylan-pi: nope [09:31] what are you voting on? [09:31] I'lll go BArcelona -> Stockholm -> Shannon and back to UK that week [09:32] popey: marriage equality [09:32] oh yes. [09:32] thought it was abortion [09:32] popey: exactly YES :D [09:32] AND allowing for a president younger than 35 [09:32] zmoylan-pi: ag yes that throw away vote [09:33] voting by proxy not allowed? [09:33] nope [09:34] a lot of folk on twitter seem to have sorted the postal vote thing [09:34] i already voted in teh UK general election [09:34] vote early and often [09:34] helps with smug face when people are trying last ditch attempts [09:38] popey: see pm :) [09:46] evernote is really annoying sometimes [09:46] certain lack of intuivity [09:47] you'd think by now all devices would have a memopad like one in palmos that 'just worked' [09:47] what's google keep thing like? [09:47] they could rule the market [09:47] as evernote seem to struggle [09:48] doesn't quite seem to be achieving the same thing as evernote [09:49] i use evernote as a document storage system, not a temporal post it throaway todo list thing [09:55] foobarry: I use keep, works ok for me but I only use it for shopping lists and things like that === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [10:02] i use a text file in dropbox. separated by dates and hashtags. works for me. [10:05] I use a git repo and org-agenda [10:06] https://twitter.com/harrym/status/592618805542711296 interesting to anyone running wordpress [10:08] years ago I stopped using wordpress mainly because it seemed a chore to maintain. There seemed to be a never-ending stream of security patches [10:08] well, it auto updates now [10:08] but it's zero day today [10:08] JamesTait: Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl [10:09] for blogging I now use a flat file based system. far easier to maintain and with a smaller attack surface [10:09] isn't everyday a zero day for wordpress? :-P [10:18] heh, that vuln is weaksauce [10:18] who enables the online plugin and theme editors anyway? [10:19] if the platform is aimed at a lot of non technical people... many [10:20] * awilkins remembers a WordPress instance with over 100 plugins enabled at his old job [10:22] On Windows [10:23] did they leave the doors and windows unlocked too just to be sure? :-P [10:54] Good morning peeps :) [10:59] bigcalm: how do chap how's life? [11:01] bigcalm: enjoying GTA5? :) [11:03] davmor2: not too shabby ta, yourself? [11:03] popey: yes. Loving it. Having to play in short bursts though. Otherwise I'd get sucked in for hours [11:04] heh [11:04] bigcalm: a tiny bit busy but other than that grand thanks and looking forward to the caravan for the long weekend :) [11:04] Also, I had been close to rage quitting on the Rampage mission [11:04] I dialed down the detail and it now runs at a decent framerate here [11:05] For the most part it looks fine to me. Little bit jerky in the city with lots happening though. Might dial it down as well [11:05] Love Trevor. He is so well written [11:05] That said, he also scares the crap out of me [11:05] davmor2: busy? But the release has happened. Surely you should be relaxing now [11:06] popey: have you tried the online bit yet? [11:06] briefly [11:06] Same [11:06] i have it at 720p which made a big difference [11:06] Are you popeydc, by any chance? [11:06] Interesting [11:07] yes [11:07] at 1080p i was running ~30 fps [11:07] now it's 720p at ~70+ fps [11:07] Oh dear [11:07] still looks great. [11:07] Cool. Will play later tonight [11:07] heh [11:08] I think I'm enjoying this more than IV [11:08] The sense of freedom is very welcome [11:08] yeah, totally [11:08] not getting 5* for crossing a bridge is nice [11:08] stealing a helicopter and flying away is fun [11:09] i do like the scammers who try to claim someone is being attacked and when you give chase they attack you [11:09] I usually gave my gun out ready :) [11:09] Oh! [11:09] I hadn't thought that some of them might be scammers [11:10] I've bought suppressors for all of my guns. Makes life a lot easier [11:10] Did you manage to get the bug van without the alarm being raised? [11:10] hello sir, i'm calling because i've been told you were in a car accident [11:11] (put on mute after saying hello) [11:11] oi ubuntu-uk no gta-V-uk ;) [11:11] i can just hear this little voice on the phone on my desk [11:11] hello...hello...can you hear me?

[11:24] diplo: no [11:24] OK, tip I learned after :) [11:24] no [11:24] diplo: The only console I have is a Wii U [11:24] When you get to the Lester scenes, buy stocks in whatever company he asks you to do something about :) [11:25] Makes sense [11:25] Makes life a lot easier, I'm debating playing it again to do that, quite enjoyed it [11:25] Would like it on the PC, but I don't think my old beast could run it [11:25] Except for Live Invader. As we made the price plummet [11:26] Might also try for gold / 100% on everything this time [11:27] I like that I can play with an Xbox 360 controller for everything and then switch over to keyboard and mouse when I need to play with guns [11:27] Terrible at aiming with a job pad [11:30] So am I, although got better [11:30] Bought the kids Halo this weekend, I was actually quite good at it :P_ [11:30] You bought it for yourself [11:35] I can't watch films set in NY or LA now without thinking of GTA :) [11:36] popey: Yikes! I have two Lenovo 9-cells here.... [11:36] bigcalm haha, nah kids have been hounding me for ages [11:36] Their friends play it [11:36] i had to fill the form in manually because the auto-detector thing requires windows [11:36] If the Lenovo site ever loads, I might be able to find out [11:36] it actually asks you why you're doing it manually! [11:37] "Because you hate freedom, Lenovo" [11:37] yes, is it a free form field? [11:37] popey: Site is so very, very s-l-o-w..... [11:37] yes [11:39] Is this a new recall? Because Lenovo have had to do this many, many times [11:39] any details on the actual fault? [11:39] i have no idea, i got the link from foobarry last week iirc [11:39] ali1234: All the previous ones have been about over-heating, fire, explosion, stealing your last Rolo [11:39] TwistedLucidity: says they are expanding the existing recall [11:40] I wouldn't know, I can't get on the site! [11:40] well now you do :) [11:40] april 21st 2015 [11:41] yay mine's not listed [11:41] nor mine, but it is really old [11:41] Damned thing just times out.... [11:41] problem may be at your end, it works fine here [11:41] it's not even slow [11:42] popey: my laptop is about 2 and 1/2 years old so you know what that means right :D [11:42] ali1234: Site has always been nearly unusable for me [11:43] Probably VirginMedia [11:44] TwistedLucidity: it's slow here but it works I'm on virgin [11:44] Works well on Windows, I am going to change my User agent..... [11:48] Seems I am no eligible. Guess that's a good thing [11:53] TwistedLucidity: works fine here, also on VM [11:54] davmor2: mine is over 3 now. [11:54] not seen a new one I want === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [11:54] * zmoylan-pi still has an original olpc here... [11:55] still the best screen on a mobile device i have ever used [11:55] popey: It's find on the Windows box, just not Kubuntu. Very strange [11:56] popey: this will be 6 years, oh how the time flies :) [11:59] https://www.flickr.com/photos/c64tv [12:03] jetpac \o/ [12:03] Fantastic [12:14] wow === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [12:31] i like the skool daze and paradroid ones [12:32] the voxel thing reminds me of cube world [12:33] I don't get why voxels are being so popular [12:33] seems everyone and his dog wants to create a voxel game [12:34] Because Minecraft did so well [12:35] Have you seen Notch's house? [12:35] also minecraft seems to be getting everyone to do "low res fctw" [12:35] ftw** [12:35] people don't want minecraft since ms bought it? [12:35] I wonder what the long-term plan is for minecraft now ms own it [12:35] Notch's House : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZhM56v9UVQ [12:36] That's why there are so many voxel games [12:36] The tail end of people going "Wowzer, that Minecraft thing is doing awfully well, isn't it?" and jumping on the bandwagon [12:37] I doubt that people stopped liking Minecraft since MS bought it [12:37] aren't ms adding downloadable content to minecraft? [12:37] i've seen a few complaints already over that [12:37] that house is way OTT [12:38] I don't think msft have done anything at all with it yet. the "complaints" are scaremongering [12:38] if you were handed a few billion wouldn't you go for volcano lair or evil villan ship instead? :-) [12:38] not to say I trust msft much further than I could throw them, but waiting for them to actually do something before I whine about it :) [12:39] I would find the house a bit much [12:39] I don't think I'd like to live there [12:39] I like cosy [12:39] Community [12:40] and community (no, wait, I'm a hermit, community doesn't really count) [12:40] If I had unlimited money and Elon-Musk-like resources I'd have a town pad within walking distance of all the fun stuff, and a country pad with a nice kitchen garden [12:40] And a hyperloop subway that went between them in < 10 minutes [12:41] or a jetpack... [12:41] Naah, practical Jetpack technology is basically impossible ATM [12:42] ok an autogyro [12:42] hipster helicopter :-) [12:42] Little Nellie from the Bond film [12:42] Retrohipster [12:42] with it's addons of course [12:43] america are trying to pin a charge of unlicensed aircraft on a guy with an autogiro who landed on some green space outside their capitol building [12:43] he was a postman and he was delivering letters... [12:43] that's the guy [12:45] seems like one of the easier charges to make stick. they have some exemptions for ultralights but they all have geographic restrictions (built-up areas, airports, etc) [12:46] not sure they ever managed to prosecute lawn chair larry === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:21] IIRC an autogryo can fly faster than a helicopter [13:21] well yes and no. not much development has gone into them since wwii [13:21] and they've pushed helicopters to the limit [13:22] Physics is a buggre like that [13:23] 293mph for an unassisted (no attached jets for thrust) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_X3 [13:31] pity the canadian swingwing didn't take off (pardon the pun) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-84 [13:31] *tiltwing === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [13:33] The Osprey is a thing, innit?
