=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [06:24] yay not as humid today thankfully;) [06:40] if yesterday was any damper ireland would have lost it's island status... :-P === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [07:10] howdy [07:20] o/ [07:25] morning boys and girls. [08:14] mornin peeps [08:15] morning knightwise [08:16] morning knightwise and MooDoo [08:16] how are you all this morning? [08:16] not bad, and you? [08:20] ²doin ok :) been looking around some second hand sites for an old thinkpad [08:20] 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] popey: which one were you using again on the podcast ? R61 ? [08:20] came in today and my fan is running at full. although its cold air. and the cpu is < 10% used :-| [08:22] thats odd [08:23] sensor kyboshed? [08:25] gonna log out [08:25] :( [08:27] knightwise: eh? [08:28] 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] knightwise: oh, I have a thinkpad x220 and x61s [08:28] the x61s is the cheap one I got off ebay [08:29] right, I must sign off IRC and do some work [08:29] workspaces can be a killer [08:34] k :) How is the resolution on the x220 ? [08:34] 1366x768 [08:34] terrible by todays standards [08:35] well, minimum by todays standards to be fair [08:35] k [08:35] thanx :) The X61 looks cool to play with [08:36] X61s is mine. dunno what the difference between the X61 and the X61s is [08:37] lighter and different processor [08:38] lower energy one [08:46] ah [08:47] are the "s" models all like that? [08:48] S are "entry level ultraportables" [08:49] ah forget that [08:49] thats if S is prefix [08:49] Normally, the distinguishing features between the X-series and X-series s-suffix models are: [08:49] Use of lower voltage CPUs, providing better battery life [08:49] Option for a high-resolution screen [08:49] Lighter weight by cutting down on thickness and using lighter materials [08:49] Much higher price [08:50] processors are a bit slower [08:52] so an ultrabook by another name... [08:52] this is far from an ultrabook [08:53] but it pre-dates the ultrabook brand and is somewhat chunky [08:53] (being a thinkpad) [08:53] so an ibm ultrabook :-) [08:53] without the ibm... [08:55] ulu-tara-book! [08:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Acv0l7AO0 [08:57] a 1 hour advert... wow... [08:58] it's a 1 hour loop, because it's so awesome [09:01] it's so something [09:02] well.... compared to japanese gameshows it's perfectly normal... :-) [09:06] exobuzz: happy birthday [09:07] danny dyer's chocolate homunculus [09:08] Good morning all; happy Leave the Office Earlier Day! 😃 [09:09] * zmoylan-pi disposes of tunnel soil on ciggie break and prepares for escape... [09:10] minea aint till Friday :( [09:10] alan@bishop:~$ grep JamesTait irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu-uk.log | grep orning | grep appy | pastebinit [09:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11516587/ [09:10] note the day JamesTait discovered unicode :) [09:11] * 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... :-) [09:12] WITH a mouse!! [09:12] popey: haha [09:12] you can also track his start of work time [09:13] popey, rather, the day Spads shared his irssi auto-replace config. 😉 [09:13] hah [09:13] oddly i dont see your smiley in my terminal [09:13] me neither, it's a square box for me [09:14] monospace font fail [09:14] but I do see the smiley in android [09:16] I see a rectangle for this one: 🙌 [09:16] With 01F64C in it. [09:18] rectangle here but smiley for original unicode char [09:21] Ooh, one of those greetings was at 09:04 - on a Friday! === feisar is now known as Guest99290 === twager is now known as g3tpi [10:07] 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] i get 56408576 bytes (656 MB) copied, 0.349391 s, 1.9 GB/s [10:07] and it finishes immediately. [10:07] the activity light on the usb stick is flashing away ongoing now though [10:07] cache? [10:08] is there some amount of time i have to wait? Can i see cache progress somehow? [10:08] that's pretty crazy :) [10:10] writing direct to a device (ie /dev/sdb) would bypass the page cache [10:11] it's odd for dd to return before the data has written, did you get the device name correct? [10:28] nah, it does this all the time here [10:58] So...a "fully convergent" phone is on the way. I may well suffer Android just a bit longer in that case.... [11:00] android is ok, it's just not the full gnu/linux [11:02] it's linux lite, nsa plus :-) [11:09] Sardines on toast O'clock. [11:15] popey, thanks! [12:07] 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. [12:22] come on delivery [12:22] need to go out [12:33] I too have a delivery due! [12:34] 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] sadly not dpd [13:27] here it is [13:27] :> [13:28] gin delivery! [13:29] no it's the new hdd for the windows 10 installation he's had to reserve :p [13:31] sun cream bath time [13:31] so hot [13:31] ;] [13:31] got burnt yesterday :( [13:48] talking about sun cream [13:48] 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] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nivea-Immediate-Protection-Moisturising-Spray/dp/B001B0OJXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433175118&sr=8-1&keywords=sunscreen [13:48] which one should I get [13:49] are you transparent? [13:49] 50 is quite high [13:49] i use 6 [13:49] my wife and kids use 15 [13:50] I want 10 or 15 actually [13:50] our kids used 25 or so when they were babies, now we use 10-15 [13:50] spray is good for kids vs thick yoghurty cream [13:50] ya [13:50] Yeah, I'm half-Dutch/Turkish, so I don't burn that easily. [13:51] I'm going with my friends (alone) to Mallorca this Friday for 4 days. [13:51] i'm fully english [13:51] but not pasty northerner type [13:51] so was thinking, maybe would be a good idea to buy sun screen, but I'm not good at making decisions [13:51] what is your accent? [13:52] btw, it's not sun cream time, weather in London is crap [13:52] north london but not a really strong accent [13:52] ah ok [13:52] although i use a lot of regional slang [13:52] do you use init? [13:53] i am aware that fully english means french/germanic/anglo/other [13:53] only when being ironic. my accent isn't very chavvy [13:53] or systemd? [13:53] lol [13:53] ah yeah, neutral accent is better [13:53] ugh 3pm meeting in another building [13:53] need chocolate or jelly snakes to survive [13:54] well, have fun :) hopefully meeting will be worth your while [13:54] it won't , i'm covering my boss with no info about the meeting [13:57] ah, I'm happy I don't have many meetings. [14:17] I use 50 [14:17] but I'm Finnish and have gotten sunburnt enough many times in my life [14:19] and I also take vitamin supplements. [15:20] ah ok [15:49] in the space of 5 minutes, antisocial colleague sprayed deep heat in the office then now eating curry outside lunch hours [16:21] I eat stuff outside of lunch hours. [16:21] although not smelly stuff. [16:21] I can't judge about deep heat, but it seems could be all smelly there [16:22] I bought a tanning sun tan, I'll probably look African when I'm back from Mallorca. [16:43] mmm deep heat [16:43] I'd be thanking him [16:58] haha [16:58] blatter quit === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:07] I think he pretty much had to once uefa started looking seriously at boycotting 2018 === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [17:25] Wow : Thunderbolt 3 == USB-C [17:25] Finally, One Port To Rule Them All [17:25] 40Gbit/s Thunderbolt. 10Gbit/s USB 3.1, Displayport, and PCI-express [17:25] Oh, and 100W [17:29] oh my lord that is news [17:31] https://twitter.com/WeWantPlates is now my fave twitter account [17:31] Now all we need is a USB-C +--------+ dongle for your charger and it's perfect [17:31] dsample "I bet Apple finds a way to make their incompatible" [17:39] * awilkins imagines the Seance with Steve at Apple HQ [17:40] "So, how about we reverse the pinout?" ... "Sorry, it's a reversible connector" [17:40] "We could embed DRM chips in the cable!" ... "Yeah, but people are wise to that now and they hate it" [17:42] "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] *much clinking of champagne glasses ensues* [17:45] they don't need to make it incompatible. no-one else will pay for the controllers (or ship drivers) anyway. [17:47] i have usb 3.1, sadly with type a connectors [17:53] I'm still waiting for either linux or freebsd to pick up ip-over-tb for a fun nas box. long wait. [17:56] pfft [17:56] use IB! [17:58] with my laptop? [17:59] yes! :D [18:41] any recommendations for web hosting providers? === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
