daftykinscrazy thin15:07
daftykinsgood to keep full wired gigabit as well, albeit with the breakout cable15:07

daftykinsso if the person that's getting it signs up for a contract it can be truly mobile15:08
EriC^^cool15:08
daftykinsshe was kinda tempted by a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, but i didn't like that those are already a year old15:08
EriC^^who was?15:09
daftykinsmy client who's getting this machine15:12
EriC^^oh15:12
daftykinsmy bad, i'm quite often vague XD15:12
EriC^^:D15:13
EriC^^did you try the ubuntu phone or see it live?15:13
daftykinsnah15:13
daftykinsif i'm honest i think it's laughable15:13
EriC^^me neither, i'm curious how it's like15:13
EriC^^i've not seen pics or anything15:13
EriC^^i should probably google :P15:14
daftykins"for further info please join #ubuntu-touch" ;D15:14

EriC^^lol, almost seems like it's not about the phone15:17
daftykinsas in the physical handset, or the form factor?15:18
EriC^^nah i guess it's on point15:18
EriC^^i'm going to order a pizza hut15:25
EriC^^i ordered the extra-large once and i got hooked, it's so huge you won't believe15:25
EriC^^i end up microwaving and eating the rest at night15:25
daftykinsXD15:26
daftykinslet me tell you something that'll blow your mind15:26
EriC^^i hope this is a pizza is good for you fact15:26
EriC^^:D15:26
daftykinsgrowing up over here, there was no such thing as delivered pizza15:26
EriC^^oh wow15:26
daftykinsalso we have none of the fast food chains15:26
EriC^^yikes15:27
daftykinsthere was a KFC briefly in the early 80s apparently, so before my time... then we had a Burger King briefly for a couple of years in my teens, but the guy funding it went bankrupt15:27
EriC^^well we got mcdonald's here in ~2000 ( the whole country )15:27
daftykinsthe one larger island near me has a KFC and McDonalds, but i'd only get to try them when in England otherwise15:27
EriC^^even now?15:28
EriC^^what about now?15:28
daftykinsI have a place right in the centre of my capital, literally 10m from the high-street. There's a pizza place around the corner that's meant to do delivery, never tried though :)15:29
daftykinsi like my curry so my local indian takeaway is maybe 30m from my door15:29
EriC^^cool15:29
EriC^^i've never had indian food15:29
daftykins:O do you like things spicy?15:29
EriC^^nope15:30
EriC^^i puke if it's too spicy15:30
EriC^^my friend is from african, and he loves spicy stuff, i ate at his place once a native african meal and i drank water after every bite, couple hours later --> puke fest15:31
daftykinsoh dear!15:31
daftykinswater is actually the worst, as it opens your tastebuds to more of the onslaught :)15:32
daftykinsmilk is the neutraliser15:32
EriC^^oh, lol :D15:32
daftykinsi think it comes down to genes at the end of the day, no silly macho angle of course. i enjoy a nice spicy meal but it has to remain actually enjoyable15:32
EriC^^yeah, that's true, my whole family doesn't eat spicey food15:33
daftykinsah ha15:33
EriC^^i like a little spice in the pizza15:33
EriC^^gives it a little oomph15:33
daftykinsi don't really know what got mine into it, as my dad can't eat any of it either15:33
daftykins:D15:33
daftykinsi like to buy these meat feast ones from the supermarkets over here, then tap a bit of tabasco over the top before throwing in the oven15:34
EriC^^haha :D15:35
daftykinshttps://carpenterbrut.bandcamp.com/album/ep-i15:41
daftykinsaaah latest musical discovery15:41
EriC^^cool15:43
EriC^^sounds good15:44
daftykins:D15:45
EriC^^:D15:48
daftykinsok my mate wants me to try a CentOS live session too haha, (on this Lenovo) as he uses that for his PhD physics software15:50
EriC^^cool :D15:53
daftykinsfor ubuntu hmm, i'm sure vivid would work better but i don't do non-LTS ^_^15:53
BluesKajdaftykins, you're missing all the fun then15:54
daftykinsupgrade hell? ;)15:54
BluesKajclean installs15:55
BluesKajwhere's your sense of adventure? Unless of course you're at work15:56
daftykinsmmm i definitely don't believe in upgrades15:56
daftykinswell it's just gonna be trying out a live session on this new machine for fun, it's not mine so won't be installing15:56
daftykinsmy stuff is ancient in comparison, core 2 quad desktop with DDR2 from 2007 and a sandybridge laptop from don't-even-know15:57
BluesKajI have a 2yr old laptop, but this pc is an amd 2008 vintage HP desktop, dual core cpu,  with RAM upgrades to 6G and pci audio and gpu ?15:59
daftykins:)15:59
BluesKajerr ignore the ?16:00
daftykinsi quite like letting my clients spend the money, i get to play with the lovely new kit then give it back at the end of the day16:00
BluesKajit all works great on kubuntu16:00
BluesKajstill have 10yrold WD HDD as a windows drive16:01
daftykins:)16:02
daftykinsone thing i have done is go SSD across all my kit16:02
daftykinsi think that makes the difference between tolerating such old hardware and not16:02
BluesKajwell it's our media server setup and it works for us16:03
BluesKajBBL16:04
daftykinshave you guys noticed that if you have a lot of nearby wireless networks, NM on a unity desktop actually puts the best-signal strength one right at the bottom of the list, under 'more networks'?16:14
daftykinstotally stupid imo16:14
EriC^^can't say i've noticed that, it's stupid though16:15
daftykinswow at ubuntu on this screen o016:15
EriC^^nice16:16
EriC^^i lately have been reading about resolution and stuff, now i want a 1920 screen16:16
EriC^^mine is 1366, i always wondered why other desktop's have such a huge space in the launcher16:16
EriC^^i wanna buy another lcd screen so i've been reading a bit16:17
EriC^^(tv)16:17
daftykins:D16:17
daftykinsmy old laptop is 1366 too16:17
daftykinsmy desktop has a pair of 24" LCDs of 1920x1200 each16:17
daftykinsmuch spoilt++16:17
EriC^^:D16:18
daftykinshttp://i.imgur.com/JJcq37s.jpg16:19
daftykinsthis is with scaling set to 1.25x to make it look a little more sane16:20
BluesKajusing our plsama TV as a monitor since I'm chating on the media server pc and #m away in my easy chair with wireless KB and mouse ... comfy  situation for an old guy :-)16:21
BluesKaj3M away16:21
EriC^^looks good16:22
BluesKajlazy old guy who's procrastinating cutting the lawn , but gotta do it before the rain arrives toight16:24
daftykinshttp://i.imgur.com/0X3yocv.jpg - 1.00x scaling16:26
BluesKajoops, Konverstion just froze then crashed , plasma desktop still not ready for prime time methinks16:29
BluesKajplasma 5.3.1 that is16:29
daftykins=]16:31
daftykinsunstable version?16:31
daftykinswell CentOS booting on this thing has a 3.10 kernel and doesn't work with the wifi out of the box16:33
BluesKajyeah I'm testing  Kubuntu 15.10 Wily, altho it behaves most of the time there ia the odd freeze/crash now and then16:35
BluesKajia=is16:36
daftykinsah right16:37
daftykinsnever really gone near KDE16:37
daftykinsi fear i'll start prepending 'k' to all my words if i did ;)16:37
BluesKajlove KDE, unity/gnome never did much for me16:37
BluesKaj<--old windows guy...it was more familiar to me in 2004 when i seriously got into linux distros , trying this and that16:39
daftykinsthat makes sense16:43
daftykinsxfce is quite comfy to me, but you have to fight it a lot16:43
daftykinsseems whenever i try to disable screen blanking, locking, screensavers etc there's always something else making it happen still16:44
daftykinsreally drives me mad about Linux usage as a whole on a mobile device :P16:44
MonkeyDustpity, i can't run irssi from a remote server -- unixssh.com18:16
MonkeyDustbeen doing it for some weeks, now it's blocked18:17
ObrienDaveOMG i just had to completely disable IPV6 to properly update my system :S18:19
BluesKajipv6 where, on your router?18:54
