[08:24] <diddledan> knightwise: I'm planning on developing an app to run a nagios dashboard on it
[08:24] <diddledan> knightwise: and also make said app packaged for every device under the sun via cordova
[08:30] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:32] <MooDoo> morning brobostigon
[08:32] <brobostigon> morning MooDoo
[08:33] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Gummi Worm Day! 😃
[08:34] <bigcalm> Was never a fan of those as a child
[08:34] <bigcalm> It was fizzy cola bottles or astro belts for me
[08:34] <davmor2> JamesTait: you feeling okay? did you fall out of bed? did it hurt?  Oh and hmmmmmmmm gummi worms
[08:35] <davmor2> bigcalm: weirdo
[08:35] <bigcalm> davmor2: mirror
[08:35] <JamesTait> bigcalm, all valid in my book.
[08:35] <awilkins> Flying saucers
[08:35] <JamesTait> awilkins, those too.
[08:35] <JamesTait> Though better in my mouth than in any book.
[08:44] <diddledan> wb Knightmare
[08:44] <diddledan> knightwise:
[08:47] <davmor2> bigcalm: I've never denied being weird I'm proud of it :P  weirdo ;)
[08:48] <davmor2> JamesTait: Fried Eggs, Milk bottles and Catherine Wheels
[08:49] <JamesTait> Sherbet dips.
[08:49] <awilkins> Sherbet fountains
[08:49] <awilkins> When you could actually get the liquorice tube to work
[08:50] <JamesTait> Did we once have Cadbury Top Deck in Britain, or am I imagining that?
[08:50] <bigcalm> The number of times I accidentally snorted that stuff..
[08:50] <awilkins> Mm, maybe thats what I'm thinking of when a Double Decker vaguely disappoints me
[08:50] <bigcalm> JamesTait: doesn't ring a bell. we have Double Decker by Cadbury's
[08:51] <awilkins> Ah. We have had Top Deck
[08:51] <awilkins> But I don't see it any more
[08:52] <awilkins> Top Deck is just a half-and-half milk / white chocolate bar, right?
[08:52] <JamesTait> https://justamumnz.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/top-deck-brownie-5.jpg?w=600
[08:52] <knightwise> just installed the pi-hole addblocking DNS server
[08:52] <knightwise> first impressions : Works good
[08:52] <awilkins> Apparently you can still buy it :https://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Cadbury-Dairy-Milk-Top-Deck/95601011
[08:53] <JamesTait> awilkins, you can, but it's imported from South Africa.
[08:53] <JamesTait> So really expensive.
[08:53] <JamesTait> Which is why I usually cram a couple in my case when I'm over there.
[08:54] <awilkins> Don't they know that globalization is supposed to completely homogenize the world product selection? *tch*
[08:54] <awilkins> That would be insane
[08:54] <JamesTait> (Also s/case/face/ works)
[08:54] <knightwise> hmm.. anyone ever tried posting to google+ from the command line ?
[08:54] <awilkins> Because suddenly our shops would be mostly weird Japanese brands that hang around for about 3 weeks.
[09:12] <knightwise> victorp: Vic ? are you in ?
[10:02] <ali1234> damn it the facebook api docs are completely useless
[10:14] <popey> hot

[10:17] <diddledan> popey: serves you right for being on holiday :-p
[10:17] <zmoylan-pi> hard plastic chair surrounded by sick people not good enough?
[10:17] <diddledan> foobarry: :-(
[10:18] <foobarry> sick children, even worse
[10:18] <diddledan> on sunday night I got-up in the middle of the night to use the loo. I damn near fainted while I was stood there for some reason.
[10:18] <foobarry> hopefully mine is ok.
[10:18] <foobarry> i nearly fainted around 4am
[10:18] <diddledan> now I got the sniffles
[10:18] <foobarry> but found some ginger biccies in my bag
[10:19] <diddledan> biccies!!
[10:20] <foobarry> am mustering the fortitude to convert from WFH-> train to office
[10:20] <foobarry> for my annual appraisal this afternoon :S
[10:20] <zmoylan-pi> a reluctant train spotter...
[10:27] <diddledan> I really ought to clear-out my email archive
[10:28] <diddledan> I've now got over 140000 emails in it
[10:28] <foobarry> https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/XJXQd0o9bwiRfVEdAWIMm-i_ss8RP8hlqJb0D53REtg8wPQrL7kYV8WPWmjxQMUUSbBGAHTd3_4vHIwer12TJRA-yG901MwAV4gsNPtFYEYZsbsN-aKTPH8W8yX6gs1DRnwrs0M
[10:28] <diddledan> it's causing thunderbird to run slowly

[10:28] <diddledan> hmm
[10:28] <diddledan> foobarry: might be in japan
[10:29] <diddledan> I think she might be photobombing
[12:17] <bujji> Hello all
[12:28] <foobarry> oh, a cheque from the taxman
[12:29] <foobarry> how nice
[12:30] <TwistedLucidity> Dear Foobarry, Here is a cheque for (£1,000). Regards, HMRC [i.e. negative]
[12:30] <foobarry> shuoldn't have told wifey but i was dancing in the front room
[12:33]  * TwistedLucidity refrains from commenting on nature of relationship :-P
[12:35] <TwistedLucidity> My old penions company fessed up to underpaying recently. That was a nice surprise.
[12:39] <bujji> TwistedLucidity:twisted twist
[12:46] <foobarry> we have a shared account. can't hide a secret more than 5 minutes before i fess up
[13:00] <foobarry> evernote you suck hard
[13:06]  * bashrc_ uses org-mode
[13:06]  * foobarry has to collaborate with others
[13:57] <Azelphur> Is it just me or is there not any decent prime day deals at all
[14:00]  * lopta shrugs
[14:01] <diddledan> Azelphur: I've not looked
[14:02] <diddledan> Azelphur: it's supposed to be "moar than black friday" <-- that doesn't mean the deals are good, just that there's many of them
[14:02] <Azelphur> I'm just sitting here wanting a ~40" TV, a printer, scanner, 5TB hard drive, I'd buy any of these things if they came up
[14:02] <Azelphur> yea I guess so :/
[14:02] <diddledan> 5TB?!
[14:02] <diddledan> that's hunormous
[14:03] <lopta> I think it's Wombat Wednesday.
[14:03] <Azelphur> diddledan: I already have 3 of them
[14:04] <Azelphur> would like a 4th to go RAID6
[14:05] <lopta> Azelphur: Why not RAID 1+0?
[14:05] <lopta> With disks that big rebuild times could be an issue.
[14:07] <Azelphur> lopta: because I want to be able to expand
[14:07] <Azelphur> and rebuild times aren't so bad
[14:08] <lopta> Hmm... ok.
[15:09] <foobarry> anyone received spoof whatsapp message via email?
[15:09] <zmoylan-pi> yup
[15:09] <foobarry> whats all that about
[15:09] <foobarry> not sure what its trying to spoof
[15:09] <zmoylan-pi> easy to recognise as bogus as i don't have whatsapp
[15:11] <foobarry> and lots of international characters in the mail
[15:12] <foobarry> whætsapp
[15:21] <TwistedLucidity> You can register children's names using Unicode in the UK. That could be fun.
[15:21] <TwistedLucidity> Maybe not for little upside-down-smiley-face-umbrella-puppy
[15:24] <foobarry> teatime （╯°□°）╯ ┻━┻
[15:24]  * lopta grins
[15:25] <lopta> I'll stick to ASCII for mine.
[15:25] <foobarry> drop tables;
[15:29] <zmoylan-pi> linear a and b are part of unicode urinating dog
[15:37] <awilkins_> Ahh, Evelyn DROP TABLE children; , that classic amongst British names
[15:38] <awilkins_> Would it surprise you to know that one of the major computer parts retailers in the country used to have a SQL exploit in their web front end, the web app ran using the root DB user?
[15:38] <awilkins_> OH THe HUMANITY
[15:39] <bashrc_> nice
[15:40] <zmoylan-pi> but security is expensive...
[15:40] <bigcalm> Vogonity
[15:40] <lopta> bigcalm++
[15:40] <bigcalm> :D
[15:41] <lopta> I'm trying to think who sells computer parts in the U.K.
[15:41] <bigcalm> It's the only thing I ever hear, can't help it
[15:41] <bigcalm> PC Hell
[15:42] <TwistedLucidity> lopta: Overclockers, Morgan, Scan...
[15:43] <bigcalm> Ebuyer
[15:43] <bigcalm> dabs
[15:43] <TwistedLucidity> That too. Amazon, ebay
[15:43] <lopta> I do remember Morgan.
[15:43] <lopta> Scan rings a vague bell.
[15:44] <TwistedLucidity> http://www.scan.co.uk/
[15:44] <TwistedLucidity> Depends on what you are after and what volume
[15:44] <lopta> It makes me happy to know that Morgan are still around.
[15:44] <zmoylan-pi> morgan are still going?  i miss the fuzzy b&w adverts promising cheap tat...

[15:54] <lopta> Does Ubuntu ship with IrDA support?
[16:39] <lopta> What are some lightweight Linux distributions (other than lubuntu and Xubuntu)?
[16:39] <foobarry> ubuntu ones?
[16:39] <zmoylan-pi> tiny core linux
[16:40] <foobarry> elementary linux is light but slick
[16:43] <lopta> Thanks.
[16:47]  * lopta starts to think about lunch.
[16:52] <popey> ubuntu mate :)
[17:00] <foobarry> ubuntu mate comeswith one question
[17:00] <foobarry> do you remember the original live aid concert? if yes then continue
[17:01] <bashrc_> what happens if no?
[17:01] <foobarry> unity
[17:01] <foobarry> or wait in eternal loop until you are 37
[17:02] <bashrc_> mate is only for over 37 year olds?
[17:34] <lopta> What software would we use to manage a fleet of Ubuntu or Xubuntu computers?
[17:46] <mapps> hm no idea couldnt you write your own scripts perhaps
[17:59] <lopta> Oh. I thought Canonical had something.
[18:01] <DJones> lopta: Isn't that what lanndscape is designed for
[18:01] <DJones> landscape
[18:02] <DJones> !landscape | lopta
[18:02] <lopta> Thanks.
[18:04] <DJones> Not sure on the pricing for commercial businesses though
[19:48] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[19:59] <lopta> Good afternoon.
[20:03] <brobostigon> guten abend.
[20:22] <ryan___> Hi
[20:22] <ryan___> I'm having problems with installing apps, etc
[20:22] <ryan___> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:26] <davmor2> ryan___: sounds like apt/dpkg is being used by something else
[20:26] <ryan___> davmor2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11884575/
[20:27] <ryan___> take a look
[20:28] <davmor2> ryan___: yes still sounds like the same issue.
[20:38] <ryan___> davmor2: What should I do the #Ubuntu IRC team ain't helping
[20:39] <davmor2> ryan___: run ps aux read down the list and see if something is holding apt dpkg open kill it and then try again maybe, or failing that reboot and try again
[20:40] <ryan___> davmor2: I do not understand? davmor2
[20:42] <davmor2> ryan___: something has opened apt or dpkg and not closed it so everything is locked to that process, kill the process it released the lock.  You can either find the process number and kill it or reboot the pc to kill it
[20:43] <ryan___> OK davmor2 I'll try and do that
[21:05] <diddledan> evenin
[21:06] <davmor2> diddledan: How do
[21:07] <diddledan> http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/15/windows-10-is-reportedly-done/#.0hunk1:PjJN
