daftykinsanother person nearly killed in the cycle lane here ¬_¬00:15
penguin42well if people will insist on riding on a pair of wheels with nothing around them other than a coat and a hat00:16
daftykins;)00:18
daftykinsnot so amusingly is that guy worked with the one that got killed on the same corner 2 years ago00:18
ali1234i think it would be worse if it was the other way around00:21
daftykins?00:22
ali1234it's like "wow, i'm so lucky not to end up like my friend" vs "i knew this was going to happen but i couldn't do anything about it"00:23

ali1234#android ... how do these people even figure out how to use irc?16:34
penguin42they probably got an app to tell them16:38
popeyAfternoon16:39
penguin42hey popey16:40
ali1234ubuntu can't install onto an 8GB partition any more.17:13
popeyyeah, it's grown a bit17:15
ali1234what i don't understand is how you managed to get 800% compression17:16
ali1234that's an absurd ratio17:17
ali1234the xubuntu iso is only 200MB smaller, after install it's like 3GB17:18
ali1234also, wily installer says i need 7.8GB, but an 8GB virtualbox partition will crash during install with an apport that takes you to the bug report that gets generated when the installer runs out of space, was reported several years ago, and still doesn't have a bug pattern or a sensible error message in the installer17:19
TammytonHey, I'm new to linux. How do I do this? "Update your packagelist using your package manager"17:22
TammytonI'm using ubuntu17:22
=== Matrixiumn is now known as Xack
penguin42ali1234: Some stuff is ludicrously compressable, but also watch out for the 1st set of updates that you get after install17:32
ali1234unity is still painfully slow in virtualbox too18:19
directhexeverything is. virtualbox's GL implementation is a toy18:24
penguin42does it have one or is it using llvm in the guest18:30
daftykinsdo books not get VAT?18:42
daftykinspaperbacks18:42
penguin42literary works are apparently 0 rated18:46
penguin42https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-70110-zero-rating-of-books-and-other-forms-of-printed-matter/vat-notice-70110-zero-rating-of-books-and-other-forms-of-printed-matter18:46
penguin42hmm not sure why that part of the URL is repeated, but apparently it is18:46
daftykinsty sir :>18:46
daftykins'tis an alien thing to me18:46
daftykinsfunny one in a shop just before, a guy asked if there was a casino he could waste his time in for the evening18:47
daftykinsi said nope sorry it's Sunday, everything'll close up before midnight for sure and there'll be nothing :)18:47
penguin42daftykins: Someone in the US sent me some promotional material the other week for work; beer mats, bookmarks etc - they guessed at a figure of $50; I got a fedex bill for 37GBp18:47
daftykinsugh how come they charged you o018:48
penguin42daftykins: Well, I guess it's vatable and it's the recipient I guess who gets it (although apparently it should have gone on the internal fedex account)18:48
diddledanevenin19:02
ali1234penguin42: i installed guest utils and it's still slow19:15
ali1234also multimonitor doesn't work for some reason, it used to19:15
popeyI hear VMWare fusion is way better for GL19:37
Azelphurhttp://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cello-7-quad-core-tablet-white-from-misco-plus-delivery-10-27-2290084 that is ridiculously cheap, amazing the world we live in now days21:07
popeythe 10" one is a tenner!?21:12
popeymust be a misprice21:15
zmoylan-pifresh child labour with the new school year? :-/21:17
Azelphurpopey: god alone knows, tempting to just wall mount one in every room for home automation21:50
Azelphurwould only cost like 40 quid21:50
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
zmoylan-pihow much automation is required for it to be worth a wall panel in every room, lights, heat, security, front door intercom...22:07
dogmatic69_zmoylan-pi: what you mean?22:08
popeythey will not fulfill those orders, surely22:09
zmoylan-pia wall panel using a cheap mounted android tablet sounds neat, but i'm just curious as to what different folk think would require to be automated before they'd go that far dogmatic69_22:13

diddledanterminator genisys is good23:51
diddledanI really do love the terminator theme music23:51
diddledannice early 90s industrial synth23:53
zmoylan-piso better or worse the t3 t4?23:55
diddledanbetter than t323:55
zmoylan-pinot difficult23:56
diddledant4 was a bit skewed though 'cos it doesn't have any timehopping23:56
zmoylan-piwasn't great either23:56
diddledantrue23:56
diddledanI think it stands ok on it's own but as part of a series it falls short (t4, I mean)23:56
diddledanthey kinda completely ignored t4 in genisys23:57
diddledanreally I think t1, 2 and 5 work as a trilogy - the rest are just silly23:58
zmoylan-pinow they just need to reboot the series to remove t3 and t4... :-)23:59
zmoylan-pisome sort of time travel story...23:59
