| MooDoo | howdy | 07:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 07:20 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 07:25 |
| knightwise | mornin peeps | 08:14 |
| MooDoo | morning knightwise | 08:15 |
| brobostigon | morning knightwise and MooDoo | 08:16 |
| MooDoo | how are you all this morning? | 08:16 |
| brobostigon | not bad, and you? | 08:16 |
| knightwise | ²doin ok :) been looking around some second hand sites for an old thinkpad | 08:20 |
| MooDoo | yeah ok, thinking about purchasing a book on python that I can work through with my lad but it says 10+ so as he's 6 not sure if he'll be bothered | 08:20 |
| knightwise | popey: which one were you using again on the podcast ? R61 ? | 08:20 |
| foobarry | came in today and my fan is running at full. although its cold air. and the cpu is < 10% used :-| | 08:20 |
| knightwise | thats odd | 08:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | sensor kyboshed? | 08:23 |
| foobarry | gonna log out | 08:25 |
| foobarry | :( | 08:25 |
| popey | knightwise: eh? | 08:27 |
| ne2k | popey, HP 455 G2 wireless (rtl8723be). I removed the utopic LTS HWE stack and went back to kernel 3.13, and was able to install the rtlwifi dkms package from the precise-oem-sp2 repo and it seems to be working | 08:28 |
| popey | knightwise: oh, I have a thinkpad x220 and x61s | 08:28 |
| popey | the x61s is the cheap one I got off ebay | 08:28 |
| ne2k | right, I must sign off IRC and do some work | 08:29 |
| ne2k | workspaces can be a killer | 08:29 |
| knightwise | k :) How is the resolution on the x220 ? | 08:34 |
| popey | 1366x768 | 08:34 |
| popey | terrible by todays standards | 08:34 |
| popey | well, minimum by todays standards to be fair | 08:35 |
| knightwise | k | 08:35 |
| knightwise | thanx :) The X61 looks cool to play with | 08:35 |
| popey | X61s is mine. dunno what the difference between the X61 and the X61s is | 08:36 |
| foobarry | lighter and different processor | 08:37 |
| foobarry | lower energy one | 08:38 |
| popey | ah | 08:46 |
| popey | are the "s" models all like that? | 08:47 |
| foobarry | S are "entry level ultraportables" | 08:48 |
| foobarry | ah forget that | 08:49 |
| foobarry | thats if S is prefix | 08:49 |
| foobarry | Normally, the distinguishing features between the X-series and X-series s-suffix models are: | 08:49 |
| foobarry | Use of lower voltage CPUs, providing better battery life | 08:49 |
| foobarry | Option for a high-resolution screen | 08:49 |
| foobarry | Lighter weight by cutting down on thickness and using lighter materials | 08:49 |
| foobarry | Much higher price | 08:49 |
| foobarry | processors are a bit slower | 08:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | so an ultrabook by another name... | 08:52 |
| popey | this is far from an ultrabook | 08:52 |
| popey | but it pre-dates the ultrabook brand and is somewhat chunky | 08:53 |
| popey | (being a thinkpad) | 08:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | so an ibm ultrabook :-) | 08:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | without the ibm... | 08:53 |
| directhex | ulu-tara-book! | 08:55 |
| directhex | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Acv0l7AO0 | 08:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | a 1 hour advert... wow... | 08:57 |
| directhex | it's a 1 hour loop, because it's so awesome | 08:58 |
| popey | it's so something | 09:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | well.... compared to japanese gameshows it's perfectly normal... :-) | 09:02 |
| popey | exobuzz: happy birthday | 09:06 |
| Laney | danny dyer's chocolate homunculus | 09:07 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Leave the Office Earlier Day! 😃 | 09:08 |
| * zmoylan-pi disposes of tunnel soil on ciggie break and prepares for escape... | 09:09 | |
| TheGeek | minea aint till Friday :( | 09:10 |
| popey | alan@bishop:~$ grep JamesTait irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu-uk.log | grep orning | grep appy | pastebinit | 09:10 |
| popey | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11516587/ | 09:10 |
| popey | note the day JamesTait discovered unicode :) | 09:10 |
| * zmoylan-pi used to be proud when i could get network drivers, share.exe connected to novell network run our accounts software and still get £ on keyboard... :-) | 09:11 | |
| zmoylan-pi | WITH a mouse!! | 09:12 |
| dutchie | popey: haha | 09:12 |
| Laney | you can also track his start of work time | 09:12 |
| JamesTait | popey, rather, the day Spads shared his irssi auto-replace config. 😉 | 09:13 |
| popey | hah | 09:13 |
| popey | oddly i dont see your smiley in my terminal | 09:13 |
| MooDoo | me neither, it's a square box for me | 09:13 |
| popey | monospace font fail | 09:14 |
| popey | but I do see the smiley in android | 09:14 |
| JamesTait | I see a rectangle for this one: 🙌 | 09:16 |
| JamesTait | With 01F64C in it. | 09:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | rectangle here but smiley for original unicode char | 09:18 |
| JamesTait | Ooh, one of those greetings was at 09:04 - on a Friday! | 09:21 |

| NET||abuse | wow, ok, that's weird... pulled down an arch iso, dd'ing it onto a usb stick... i do sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/me/Downloads/isos/archlinux-2015.05.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb | 10:07 |
| NET||abuse | i get 56408576 bytes (656 MB) copied, 0.349391 s, 1.9 GB/s | 10:07 |
| NET||abuse | and it finishes immediately. | 10:07 |
| NET||abuse | the activity light on the usb stick is flashing away ongoing now though | 10:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | cache? | 10:07 |
| NET||abuse | is there some amount of time i have to wait? Can i see cache progress somehow? | 10:08 |
| NET||abuse | that's pretty crazy :) | 10:08 |
| intrbiz | writing direct to a device (ie /dev/sdb) would bypass the page cache | 10:10 |
| intrbiz | it's odd for dd to return before the data has written, did you get the device name correct? | 10:11 |
| popey | nah, it does this all the time here | 10:28 |
| TwistedLucidity | So...a "fully convergent" phone is on the way. I may well suffer Android just a bit longer in that case.... | 10:58 |
| bashrc_ | android is ok, it's just not the full gnu/linux | 11:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's linux lite, nsa plus :-) | 11:02 |
| popey | Sardines on toast O'clock. | 11:09 |
| exobuzz | popey, thanks! | 11:15 |
| TwistedLucidity | bashrc_: Not sure is it's the phone, Android 4.1 or the OEM's "added value", but I can't say I have a lot of love for it. | 12:07 |
| Laney | come on delivery | 12:22 |
| Laney | need to go out | 12:22 |
| popey | I too have a delivery due! | 12:33 |
| MooDoo | you know how it works, they'll either not turn up or deliver at 6pm, unless it's DPD in which case they are ace | 12:34 |
| popey | sadly not dpd | 12:34 |
| Laney | here it is | 13:27 |
| Laney | :> | 13:27 |
| directhex | gin delivery! | 13:28 |
| MooDoo | no it's the new hdd for the windows 10 installation he's had to reserve :p | 13:29 |
| mapps | sun cream bath time | 13:31 |
| mapps | so hot | 13:31 |
| mapps | ;] | 13:31 |
| mapps | got burnt yesterday :( | 13:31 |
| ujjain | talking about sun cream | 13:48 |
| ujjain | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nivea-Sun-Invisible-Protect-Spray/dp/B002PD6PLI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433251539&sr=8-2&keywords=nivea+sun | 13:48 |

| ujjain | which one should I get | 13:48 |
| popey | are you transparent? | 13:49 |
| popey | 50 is quite high | 13:49 |
| foobarry | i use 6 | 13:49 |
| foobarry | my wife and kids use 15 | 13:49 |
| ujjain | I want 10 or 15 actually | 13:50 |
| popey | our kids used 25 or so when they were babies, now we use 10-15 | 13:50 |
| foobarry | spray is good for kids vs thick yoghurty cream | 13:50 |
| popey | ya | 13:50 |
| ujjain | Yeah, I'm half-Dutch/Turkish, so I don't burn that easily. | 13:50 |
| ujjain | I'm going with my friends (alone) to Mallorca this Friday for 4 days. | 13:51 |
| foobarry | i'm fully english | 13:51 |
| foobarry | but not pasty northerner type | 13:51 |
| ujjain | so was thinking, maybe would be a good idea to buy sun screen, but I'm not good at making decisions | 13:51 |
| ujjain | what is your accent? | 13:51 |
| ujjain | btw, it's not sun cream time, weather in London is crap | 13:52 |
| foobarry | north london but not a really strong accent | 13:52 |
| ujjain | ah ok | 13:52 |
| foobarry | although i use a lot of regional slang | 13:52 |
| ujjain | do you use init? | 13:52 |
| foobarry | i am aware that fully english means french/germanic/anglo/other | 13:53 |
| foobarry | only when being ironic. my accent isn't very chavvy | 13:53 |
| ujjain | or systemd? | 13:53 |
| foobarry | lol | 13:53 |
| ujjain | ah yeah, neutral accent is better | 13:53 |
| foobarry | ugh 3pm meeting in another building | 13:53 |
| foobarry | need chocolate or jelly snakes to survive | 13:53 |
| ujjain | well, have fun :) hopefully meeting will be worth your while | 13:54 |
| foobarry | it won't , i'm covering my boss with no info about the meeting | 13:54 |
| ujjain | ah, I'm happy I don't have many meetings. | 13:57 |
| Myrtti | I use 50 | 14:17 |
| Myrtti | but I'm Finnish and have gotten sunburnt enough many times in my life | 14:17 |
| Myrtti | and I also take vitamin supplements. | 14:19 |
| ujjain | ah ok | 15:20 |
| foobarry | in the space of 5 minutes, antisocial colleague sprayed deep heat in the office then now eating curry outside lunch hours | 15:49 |
| ujjain | I eat stuff outside of lunch hours. | 16:21 |
| ujjain | although not smelly stuff. | 16:21 |
| ujjain | I can't judge about deep heat, but it seems could be all smelly there | 16:21 |
| ujjain | I bought a tanning sun tan, I'll probably look African when I'm back from Mallorca. | 16:22 |
| Laney | mmm deep heat | 16:43 |
| Laney | I'd be thanking him | 16:43 |
| popey | haha | 16:58 |

| awilkins | Wow : Thunderbolt 3 == USB-C | 17:25 |
| awilkins | Finally, One Port To Rule Them All | 17:25 |
| awilkins | 40Gbit/s Thunderbolt. 10Gbit/s USB 3.1, Displayport, and PCI-express | 17:25 |
| awilkins | Oh, and 100W | 17:25 |
| Myrtti | oh my lord that is news | 17:29 |
| popey | https://twitter.com/WeWantPlates is now my fave twitter account | 17:31 |
| awilkins | Now all we need is a USB-C +----<mag|safe>----+ dongle for your charger and it's perfect | 17:31 |
| Myrtti | dsample "I bet Apple finds a way to make their incompatible" | 17:31 |
| * awilkins imagines the Seance with Steve at Apple HQ | 17:39 | |
| awilkins | "So, how about we reverse the pinout?" ... "Sorry, it's a reversible connector" | 17:40 |
| awilkins | "We could embed DRM chips in the cable!" ... "Yeah, but people are wise to that now and they hate it" | 17:40 |
| awilkins | "I know! We'll make sure that we have a special signalling protocol that prevents the port transmitting more than 500mA unless you know the secret code!" | 17:42 |
| awilkins | *much clinking of champagne glasses ensues* | 17:42 |
| shauno | they don't need to make it incompatible. no-one else will pay for the controllers (or ship drivers) anyway. | 17:45 |
| directhex | i have usb 3.1, sadly with type a connectors | 17:47 |
| shauno | I'm still waiting for either linux or freebsd to pick up ip-over-tb for a fun nas box. long wait. | 17:53 |
| directhex | pfft | 17:56 |
| directhex | use IB! | 17:56 |
| shauno | with my laptop? | 17:58 |
| directhex | yes! :D | 17:59 |
| foobarry | any recommendations for web hosting providers? | 18:41 |
