[00:00] * daftykins disconnects the starter [00:20] ;] [01:02] huh I didn't know Brum had a maglec for 11 years [01:02] whats maglec/ [01:03] magnetic levitation train [01:05] ah [02:43] gah [02:43] daftykins? [04:23] hmm what can i watch to sleep to..fedup watching same tv again and again [04:23] maybe radio would work === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:14] morning boys and girls. [09:14] Morning [09:47] yo [10:10] Good morning peeps :) [18:33] popey: I kinda went overboard with this thing, https://dpaste.de/2jv0 this is running on the router now :) [18:34] should work on any router that can run Python and has /proc/net/dev (which I think is pretty much any router that you can ssh into) [19:04] https://www.dropbox.com/s/ff8u8tf1vry58md/IMG_20150913_200045.jpg?dl=0 [19:04] that's quite some traffic on my xbox one, 570GB since October of last [19:19] Azelphur: http://i.imgur.com/S4i3JDl.png [19:22] popey: What provider are you on? [19:22] popey: :) [19:22] penguin42: vm [19:23] popey: Do you think you're hitting the throttling stuff that kicks in if you go over the limit in one hour where they slow you down for the next period? [19:23] I don't know what's causing it. [19:23] I don't think I do anything especially at that time. [19:24] * penguin42 notes his ping time to google has doubled since about 6pm on Virgin, not sure if they're having problems or it's to do with the 5GB of updates I pulled [19:27] If I post a phone which is switched on and unlocked to myself, do you think the gps will be able to track it much? [19:27] worth a try :D [19:27] depends where it is and if it's bothered to use the GPS [19:28] for an android phone the location history is worth a check [19:28] hmm [19:28] i think yes [19:28] maybe pack a battery in the box too, to make sure it stays alive [19:29] for fun [19:29] http://i.imgur.com/bXtkGXm.png ping time to google definitely a bit longer than normal [19:29] you on vm too? [19:29] popey: Yep [19:29] popey: On their bottom end 50/3 [19:31] https://webmonkeyuk.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/putting-a-gps-tracker-in-the-mail/ [19:32] popey: It would be fun to gather an accelerometer trace as well as GPS [19:33] hah, yes [19:33] popey: Both to see how it's been thrown and also you might be able to do integration to handle loss of GPS [19:33] i always found VM to feel held together with tape [19:34] daftykins: I find their routing is generally excellent [19:34] so many wide outages though :D [19:35] daftykins: Most of the outages I've had have been ~1hr type of screw ups, only one long one in ~2 years [19:35] daftykins: And I'm using it ~10 hours a day now [19:35] i guess they've improved their game! [19:35] used to see a lot of middle of the night outages in Portsmouth [19:36] not seen any lately, but it seems to be very area dependent [19:37] yeah, i was thinking perhaps being in a student area could increase it, but you're probably near a Uni too? [19:37] hmm interesting, they've been having ping peaks to google for the last 4 days in the afternoon/evenings [19:38] daftykins: Well it depends, I'm on the north side of Manchester, and most of the university stuff is in the centre/south [19:38] ah right [19:39] Ok, next question for the team! [19:39] Wifey currently has iphone 4s, previously had an iphone 4, that was her first smartphone. [19:39] Looking to replace it (no, not ubuntu phone). [19:39] and she's not cult-tied? [19:39] She likes small size phones (i.e. no stupid phablets) [19:39] no [19:39] any urgency? [19:39] she doesn't care, so long as it has fb, whatsapp, camera, space for photos etc [19:40] not really [19:40] Don't want to spend a lot though [19:40] Second hand iPhone 5s is the competition. [19:40] So something simliar sized, similar spec, faster than 4s. [19:40] sd card bonus [19:52] I have an ubuntu phone looking to sell [19:53] i case anyone knows someone looking for one [19:53] popey: what sorta price bracket is that? [19:56] czajkowski: awwww [19:57] Azelphur: dunno, couple of hundred quid I guess [19:58] popey: hmm so you're looking for something ~5"? [19:58] popey: just don't get enough use out of it [19:58] yeah, between the size of a 4s and 5s [19:59] as always have work aka main phone on as need the apps for work and travek [19:59] she likes small phones [19:59] next 8 weeks I'm travelling every other week :/ [19:59] popey: the new Nexus 5 is coming out in <1m, something to consider perhaps but might be a little pricey [19:59] and probably too huge [19:59] I am hoping ot move to 3 at the end of October, Vodaphone are a pita [19:59] and gtting a S6 [20:01] hm, old nexus 5 is pretty cheap [20:01] i see the 6s is up for preorder..i haven't bothered with iphone for a while so didn't even know :) [20:01] popey: I thought Nexus 5 is too big? :P [20:02] it is [20:02] ah [20:02] new moto g? [20:02] good price [20:02] popey: i nearly mentioned the Nexus 5s, as it seems a second one is on the way soonish [20:02] oooh, and has sd card [20:03] also sure to get M release on android [20:03] i'd go Nexus to be on the monthly security patch bandwagon [20:03] unless they'll do the same [20:03] ugh, 1GB RAM [20:07] popey: Sony Xperia Z3 compact meets all of your requirements. [20:07] oh! good call, forgot sony! [20:07] laura has one, and she loves it [20:07] excellent. [20:07] yw [20:08] yea I believe it does everything you want, a tiny bit bigger than the 5s but not by much (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm vs 127.3 x 64.9 x 8.6 mm) has card slot, is around £200, is fairly current (2014, September) [20:08] also, camera is a focus of it, which I like [20:08] she takes a lot of photos / videos [20:08] has android 5 upgrade too, along with some nice extra features like IP68, 720p display, Shatter proof glass and a 20MP camera [20:08] yea :) [20:09] * Azelphur is good at phone finding [20:11] popey: which phone 1gb ram? [20:11] popey: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-XPERIA-Z3-Compact-D5803-Black-Vodafone-MINT-with-dock-/151815304595?hash=item2358e5b593 here's your best price, bang on target budget wise :) [20:12] Sony are a very poor android choice [20:12] daftykins: you can fix that with https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=z3c [20:12] fix what? [20:12] Sony are always amazing hardware shit software [20:13] foobarry: moto g [20:13] the high er storage version also has more ram [20:13] 16gb version has 2gb i believe [20:13] ah [20:14] Azelphur: locked to voda :( [20:14] little stand is handy [20:14] that certainly is top of the list at the moment [20:15] good work Azelphur :) [20:15] popey: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-XPERIA-Z3-Compact-D5803-Latest-Model-16GB-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-Bundle-/361370436141?hash=item54235b422d best price unlocked, but probably best to just buy the one I linked, it's gonna cost less than £30 to unlock and it's in better condition and a stand too. [20:15] yw [20:15] oh LG G3s are pretty good too [20:16] yeah [20:17] popey: to be clear, your requirements are <135mm, <66mm, Android, >=2GB RAM and Card slot? [20:17] oh, and £200 [20:17] roughly, yeah [20:20] Then your only choices are the Z3 Compact, Z1 Compact, Huawei Ascend P6 or the ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini [20:20] there are no other phones that meet all the above criteria :) [20:20] not the motog? [20:20] Moto G does not meet the criteria (>=2GB RAM) it only has 1GB RAM [20:21] Azelphur: higher storage version has 2gb ram i beliebe [20:21] The Moto G now goes up to £209/$219 for the 2GB RAM/16GB storage version, or £179/$179/$250AU for the plain 1GB RAM/8GB storage [20:21] foobarry: you mean the Moto G 3rd Gen? It fails the size requirements [20:21] heheh [20:22] 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm [20:22] I'm so glad I asked in here :) [20:22] * Azelphur is helpful [20:22] and also a database of phones, apparently [20:22] statto [20:22] * foobarry goes back to watching phoneshop [20:23] whats 7mm between friends? [20:24] foobarry: he wants iPhone 5s sizes, which is actually almost 2cm bigger [20:24] for the Moto G 3rd gen, I mean [20:25] 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm vs 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm [20:42] what's that tool called which is a bag of beans you microwave then rest on a phone screen to make the glue melt? [20:42] (I assume it's beans) [20:43] ifixit.com sells a screen heater job === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [20:44] yeah, tried to find it then my gpu crashed [20:45] bah, they call it "iopener" [20:45] useless [20:46] :D [20:46] want something local is it? [20:46] blimey, perhaps not, they sell it on amazon [20:46] http://www.amazon.co.uk/iFixit-iOpener-Apple-glued-devices/dp/B00KJ1XHLE [20:48] \o/ [20:50] *watching 1st dates, that show's so funny:D [20:50] id never heard of this, what apple devices is it for? [20:51] sound like the fan bearings have gone? :D https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cbrf6b0ru00qo4/VID_20150913_214839.mp4?dl=0 [20:51] warning: check volume [20:52] is recruitment consultant really that good of a job, well paid etc? always seem to be flashy show off types [20:52] althouh means nothing of course [20:53] fan motor i mean really [20:53] they are in sales, so yeah :) [20:53] selling people [20:53] so it is paid well? [20:53] a friend of mine is one, we often take the mickey that he sits at work all day playing snap [20:54] matching jobs with candidates [20:54] It can be, if you're good [20:54] when i say well i mean 60k+ [20:54] well, often they are on a low basic [20:54] with commission for placement [20:54] either a monthly income for contractors they place, or a lump sum after a permie has been in place for N months [20:54] ah [20:55] but if it wasnt going well, not many jobs or candidates or whatever then the basic wage could suck? [20:55] I've had them call me up after 6 months (once they got their payment for placing me) and ask if I was happy (and did I want to move) so they could get another lump out of me [20:55] there's always candidates, and always roles [20:55] it's whether the role will accept an agent and whether you can find and convince one to go for the role [20:55] ah [20:55] and whether they are any good once they get to interview [20:56] many agents will fire tons of CVs over for a role, in the hope one sticks [20:56] i'd do that :) but i guess that could irritate employers [20:56] yes [20:56] which is why you often see adverts which say "No recruiters" on the spec [20:56] because they have had bad experience of exactly that [20:57] ahh yea [20:57] I'd be annoyed if i was getting loads of CVs which clearly arent up to it:) [20:57] thinking of a change of career? :) [20:58] nah [20:58] too much freedom, i waste copious amounts of time at work [20:58] a normal office job would be a chore, i imagine most non work sites being blocked [20:59] plus when i have standby i.e. nothing to do i just watch films or tv on my tablet :) if there's nothing to do, not my problem! [21:00] aww under the dome is finished :( [21:00] hmm [21:00] i went off that a bit tbh [21:01] big match soon, fed vs djoko, delayed due to rain;/ === stryx`__ is now known as stryx` [23:03] ah midnight and it feels late, this must be what normality feels like
