MooDoo, that's impressive timing [08:35] Morning all [08:38] morning davmor2 :) [08:48] So I have dark horse stuck in my head this morning [08:48] popey: is that modern enough for you, I don't think she was even alive in the 80's [08:51] morning davmor2 [08:52] morning diddledan [09:01] Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Mad Hatter Day! 😃 [09:01] morning JamesTait [09:01] 👋 MooDoo [09:02] * zmoylan-pi wonders were my mercury maze is now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utPI8r0l6aQ [09:02] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlVPNDpNHic [09:05] morning boys and girls.

[09:14] JamesTait: pfff whippersnapper, I think it was added to a radio version probably bbc and repeated in the 70's and 80's [09:14] some dumb rule that was started for a good reason hanging on and driving people nuts years later... [09:14] whoops, wrong channel :-) [09:14] zmoylan-pi, that mercury maze looks fun! [09:15] You wouldn't get away with that these days! 😉 [09:16] it was fun, it really thought you patience and good hand eye cordination. especially when you used it on long car journies over bumpy roads in 70s ireland [09:17] zmoylan-pi: or 2015 in the uk [09:18] nah 70s ireland was worse. an irish company developed suspension to work for armoured cars back then that is now in use in a lot of mine resistant vehicles... :-) [09:44] ok, so the speed upgrade that virgin promised this year isn't getting to me until "between april 2016 and september 2016" [09:45] which isn't this year unless you're an accountant... :-) [09:47] and I don't get it because new customers seem to be able to already get uit [09:47] ref: http://store.virginmedia.com/broadband/vivid.html [09:47] got my email saying jan 2016, but i'm not too bothered 50 to 70 [09:47] ah well, new customers are more important than old customers... sad but true [09:48] 50 is ok for me at the moment...my self hosted websites work fine, so i'm happy enough lol [10:04] Debating the move after xmas to Virgin, maybe it'll stop all the bloomin mail I get from them :D [10:05] they just bought an irish isp so a lot of people found themselves to be virgin customers wether they wanted to or not. will have to see if they make things worse her [10:12] Ooh expanding then [10:12] or just vultures waiting for other companies to fail and swooping in... [10:13] MooDoo: 100 → 150 [10:17] * awilkins is pretty happy with Virgin TBH [10:17] The only thing I'd like is for them to unbundle their services [10:18] I barely use the landline anymore [10:18] barely == never [10:18] no one rings you to do a survey? :-) [10:18] Only people who call me on the landline are robots, salesmen, and the ex-wife [10:18] And the ex-wife has my mobile number [10:19] FOr some reason they don't call mobiles with evil calls as much [10:19] Probably costs them more [10:19] awilkins: Only person who does mine is my mother [10:20] I check it maybe once a month, have occasionally answer machine messages but 95% of the time I forget to put the phone back on the charger [10:20] Gah, old people and their remembering phone numbers [10:21] * zmoylan-pi puts numbers in wallpaper pic of phones [10:21] Only thing I'd miss from Sky would be Sky Atlantic I think, but as I don't watch TV as much now I'm really not that bothered === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [10:34] sky's dvr just isn't versatile enough for me - I like the ability to stream via plex to anywhere in the world [10:35] so you can watch your tv while on holiday? [10:35] so instead I get my tv via "other" sources [10:35] :-) [10:37] it would be really nice if plex could somehow get netflix into their ecosystem so I can watch via netflix if they have it or via a less kosher file if they don't [10:37] in other news, sonarr is awesome [10:38] formally known as nzbdrone [10:46] we just ordered a new Samsung telly [10:46] and get-iplayer is great [10:53] Myrtti: have you got spotify to successfully cast to the chromecast? I can cast youtube no problem. But spotify will see the device, try to connect and just keep playing on the mobile [10:54] bigcalm: we don't currently have any Chromecasts plugged in, waiting for the new ones to be delivered [10:55] I don't even remember where I've put the old ones when I cleared the TV stand last night to make way for the new telly [10:55] Ah [10:55] It might be that it doesn't work with the old ones [10:55] I know they are only 30 quid a pop, but I don't know if it's worth it if I already have the old ones [10:56] The only one I would like to get now though is the audio one [10:56] we got two of those and one of the new ones [10:57] was considering more, but then we remembered we've got a Nexus player, too [11:05] more devices watching you than people watching them :-) [11:07] yo peeps [11:09] * zmoylan-pi rates knightwise on peeple app as 'hipster' 6/10 :-) [11:13] zmoylan-pi: something like that [11:20] pwää. well boo.

[14:20] they've got monsters breaking through the walls [14:20] it's a game tentatively called "project xray" [14:22] they're announcing the availability of a developer kit starting early next year at $3000 [14:22] that's quite a tidy sum [14:23] I like that they originally said that hololens will ship "within the lifetime of windows 10" [14:24] given Windows 10 is effectively a rolling (final) release, that gives them quite a while [14:24] valve is going to rule vr [14:25] diddledan: this lass should've gone to specsavers [14:25] lol [14:26] applause for a bent screen? [14:26] yeah i figure something off screen must've happened :> [14:27] wat [14:28] see, I wouldn't use it for fitness. I'd use it for random geekiness like "how high am I right now?" rather than "what's the height doing to me" [14:28] client was trying to get me to work out how to view more detailed heartrate info on his fitbit things web dashboard [14:29] i struggle to be motivated to deal with such things === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins [14:32] $249, or £250 ;) [14:36] who is this guy they keep showing resizing a window on his laptop o0 [14:37] lol [14:37] he's the windows guy :-p [14:37] he's showing you that you can resize windows on windows [14:37] whilst you're at a windows live event [14:37] so meta [14:37] I think panos has taken a bit too much of some substance [14:38] yes! he has a novel approach [14:38] oh it stays connected huh? that's nice.

[14:46] are those not the shortest arms you've ever seen? [14:46] have they had a corporate mandate to take speed before presenting? [14:47] must be why Joe Belfiore tweeted that he's at home watching, he must say no [14:47] :> [14:48] i spy displayport, HDMI, USB x 3 and something else [14:49] power maybe [14:49] could be another USB C [14:49] so you can charge your phone while docked [14:50] this is pretty impressive [14:50] yeah I like that [14:52] all they're missing is a tablet-dock :-p [14:52] would make more sense if that display dock let the phone sit in it, but i suppose that anchors the handset then [15:01] * diddledan wipes the leaking from the corner of his mouth [15:02] that looks nice [15:10] if I knew music I would be really excited by that app [15:10] latest leak: musician's compositions stolen from cloud [15:10] :D [15:10] I'm kinda excited that it exists even though I wouldn't be able to use it [15:11] what's the price?!

[21:42] apparently got to use another desktop manager? xfce [21:43] remote session? X-redirction or something like vnc? [21:44] Good morning peeps :) [21:44] brobostigon: well just using windows remote for example to connect to home pc [21:45] I have it working with xfce, set in .xsession, but some things are annoying. eg: chrome is open on my actual pc, so I cant open chrome. [21:45] well, I can but it opens on my main desktop, and not the remote connection :/ [21:45] well, there are many possibilies, we need to narrow it down abit, [21:46] 14.10 iirc === dogmatic69_ is now known as dogmatic69 [21:46] also, i have only used ssh redirection, no X-redirection or otherwise. [21:47] ssh redirection is? [21:48] example, redirection traffic over and ssh connection, so my machine at home thinks its connected to my server directly rather than via the internet inbetween, ie like a vpn etc. [21:48] sure thing. but I want GUI and not just terminal [21:49] I have seen there is ways to do it over ssh also, but need to get it working properly first :) [21:49] as i said, there are different ways, we need more information as to the method. [21:49] ok, I installed xrdp locally [21:49] and then using windows remote desktop to connect [21:49] rdp, ok. [21:50] got my router forwarding some random port to local:rdp port [21:50] I dont mind changing if there is something better than xrdp [21:51] It is just from tutorials on the web I followed [21:51] From what I have read, Unity just cant do remote desktop [22:12] i hope not 14.10, that's been EOL a while ;) [22:15] daftykins: I upgraded from 14.04 -> 14.10 and it almost killed everything. not been brave enough to do a upgrade again... [22:15] :S [22:15] isn't 14.10 EOL? [22:16] I really need a new ssd and install from clean.. been running this since 10, loads of updates... [22:16] since about July? [22:16] yes, as of july [22:16] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2015-July/000197.html [22:16] might checkout gnome3 [22:17] maybe rdp works with that... [22:17] i use rdp fine [22:19] using xfreerdp. rdesktop doesn't support ssl [22:37] Hi! [22:37] I have an offtopic question relating ISP's in the UK (Talk Talk or Plus Net) and I'd like to know what channel I'd have to go too [22:43] just ask === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [23:32] I think theres a channel on Dalnet or QuakeNet, something in relation to ThinkBoardband.
