[00:01] completely OT, but this is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YS0vGq0QsE [06:18] Hi all === Moodoo is now known as Guest22840 === Guest22840 is now known as MooDoo [07:05] howdy all [07:18] Morning [07:19] Hmmh, is playing minecraft for 35 hours + really worth an entry as a guiness world record and even a news report on the bbc technology news page [07:39] maybe if you die in an internet café in korea immediately afterwards? [07:39] Morning, and no DJones :) [07:40] i think my longest game session was about 15 hours in 80s playing tau ceti [07:41] gosh [07:41] i wanted to play the game start to finnish in 1 session [07:41] I've forgotten our new co-workers name [07:41] carl [07:41] phew [07:42] give him a t-shirt or base ball cap with carl on it in a qr code :-P [07:42] qr code lol [08:16] Morning all [09:01] Hi all o/ [09:09] howdy selinuxium [09:19] Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Ada Lovelace Day! 😃 [09:19] morning boys and girls. [09:26] JamesTait: the most loosely tied in song containing the words love and lace that I can think of :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofLasLNVQ7w [09:34] much emoji [09:49] I bought some Taylors decaffinated coffee the other day so I could have coffee in the evening without ruining my sleep. Turns out it's actually quite nice! WHODATHUNKIT [09:50] 'lo MooDoo :) [09:53] davmor2, I'll let you off with that one. [09:57] Any one here played with juju? [10:03] Myrtti: with the decaf stuff as long as you use more of it it is ok [10:52] Good morning peeps :) [10:52] howdy bigcalm [11:03] o/ === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === kittens is now known as Guest56356 === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [15:35] Got to the bottom of my FedEx customs shenanigans [15:35] for them thar displays again? [15:35] yup [15:36] oh they holding up the shipment now? [15:36] they are definitely trying to play me, I got the commodity code they chose for my monitors, https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528498000 ... [15:36] yes they are, and they are trying to charge me 14% because they chose ^ as my commodity code [15:36] CRTs! [15:37] they hate you because you ordred crts :-) [15:37] I didn't order CRTs, they are LED monitors [15:37] seems lcd aren't subject: https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593100 [15:37] they hate you because you *didn't* ordr crts then :-) [15:38] I guess that's because of environmental concerns? [15:38] diddledan: indeed they aren't, neither are leds, which is what these monitors are [15:38] well, LED backlit LCDs [15:38] led screens are lcd [15:38] apart from OLED, they are no more LED than virgin media are providing fiber tubes ;) [15:39] * Azelphur shrugs [15:39] I told them to use this code, https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593900 [15:40] looks good [15:41] I think my one would be more appropriate [15:42] but seems there's not much difference with the two [15:44] yea not a whole lot of difference [15:46] at least if they decide it's an incorrect filing you can get them to change it to the alternative which means your duty goes from 0% to 0% :-p [15:46] diddledan: yea, mainly trying to drop the 14% on CRTs [15:47] haha, lance henrikson is in a new film called "harbinger down" where he uses his catchphrase from jaws slightly altered to "we're gonna need a bigger bucket" [15:48] he wasn't in jaws [15:48] you sure? [15:48] * zmoylan-pi bets a euro [15:48] who was in jaws then? [15:49] scheider? [15:49] aah [15:49] my bad [15:49] still funny [16:02] wow, there's someone touting an hdmi computer-stick with 8GB of rams: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/magicstick-most-powerful-pc-stick-8gb-ram#/ [16:07] 2015 will be the year of the desktop you lose in your pocket :-) [16:07] indeed [16:08] ooh my Dell UK have the new XPS 13 9350 :D [16:08] \o/ [16:08] when you buying? :-p [16:08] when i'm rich [16:09] lol [16:10] http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukbsdt1&sku=452-BBOO&price=140.19 [16:10] single cable USB, external displays and LAN 8D [16:12] \o/ [16:12] I like docking stations [16:12] * diddledan docks his port [16:13] 'tis proper thunderbolt over USB [16:13] ooh? [16:13] http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC [16:13] I thought thunderbolt used a display-port-compatible system [16:14] well it throws display protocols over so depending on the breakout at the other end, it can go into multiple socket types for video ja [16:14] aah [16:14] since DP goes out into DP, HDMI or i think VGA too [16:14] i think i might get one tbh :P it seems really nice [16:15] yeah DP has an analogue set of wires, like dvi [16:15] I have a DP > HDMI adapter [16:15] I believe DP is just HDMI without the licensing [16:15] just a shame you can't get the top end model with a FHD display, they make you go up to 4K [16:15] And a DP > VGA adapter [16:15] pretty much, far higher signal speed than common HDMI though... bit higher than HDMI 2.0 too i think [16:15] Yeah, the DP connector looks JUSt like an HDMI only the plug is shifted to the side and the housing lost a corner [16:15] yeah I think DP is a superset [16:16] Not sure if you need active circuits [16:16] most DPs these days use the mini-DP plug/socket IIRC [16:16] My DP > HDMI adapter has enough room for some circuitboard in [16:16] lil square thingy [16:16] "6. Thunderbolt™ 3 supporting: Power in/charging, PowerShare, Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps bi-directional), USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and USB-A via Dell Adapter (sold separately)" [16:16] And of course, Thunderbolt and USB-C are the same physical thing [16:16] http://i.dell.com/sites/imagecontent/products/PublishingImages/xps-13-9350-laptop/laptop-xps-13-9350-pdp-polaris-09.jpg [16:17] I like the concept of USB-C [16:17] USB-C for all the things [16:17] finally a single connector for evarythang [16:17] I still think Apple are being wanky by only putting one in a Macbook Air though [16:17] tis a shame Microsoft didn't put it on their new surfaces [16:17] I'm sad more laptops don't have it [16:17] * awilkins apologises for mildly unsafe comment in family channel [16:18] maybe next gen ones will [16:18] which is interesting that apple lead the way on that [16:18] They took the whole "one port for everything" tagline too seriously though [16:18] awilkins, as in they only put one port on the device? [16:18] Yup [16:19] yeah, that's a bit sucky [16:19] means you're requried to use a hub [16:19] Especially since it's now the charge port [16:20] trust me Apple don't lead the way, they always just try and push new connectors and mostly end up failing - costing their customers plenty in the process :P [16:20] case in point, firewire A and B [16:21] usb === g4mby is now known as PaulW2U [16:21] they led on that [16:21] and horrible lightning cables [16:22] I hate Firewire [16:22] I dunno why it's named that, but I always get a shock off it [16:22] Maybe that IS why [16:23] They led the way on firewire, which was better than the other options at the time. [16:23] firewire uses plugs that can be coerced into connecting backasswards thereby ruining the devices at both ends [16:23] along with sony [16:23] Firewire lets hackers pwn your machine because it has a DMA controller [16:23] As does Thunderbolt [16:23] bring back scsi.... :-) [16:24] RS-232 9-pin D ftw [16:24] s/9/25/ [16:24] i know a song about rs-232... [16:24] Is it "RS-232 / RS-232 / RS-232 / Interface Lead" ? [16:24] Darn Canada Post. They've had a package for me since yesterday evening (scanned at around 10pm) .. Yet it didn't go out for delivery today. I'm a sad m0nkey_ :( [16:25] > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDlj0jBtYmQ [16:25] you beat me to it :-) [16:26] awilkins: shock off firewire? it doesn't even provide power :) [16:27] It always feels ... buzzy [16:27] Maybe I have a grounding problem [16:27] daftykins, it does! [16:27] i was always shocked by dodgy coax network cable [16:28] D: must've been a later addition? [16:28] zmoylan-pi, I'm always shocked by my birds' nest of cables - it is a mess! [16:34] oh that thing i linked appears to provide video output and gigabit LAN just from a standard USB 3.0 port, Dell UK don't appear to list their thunderbolt adapter yet. [16:37] handy page on thunderbolt 3 over USB C: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-does-it-all [16:53] o/50 === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [17:35] diddledan: you're gonna need a bigger kayak... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUld0tszSG8 [18:01] lol [18:02] bigger paddle more like [18:27] any of you lot active that are ops in #ubuntu? tux38 needs ejecting and sooner rather than later. [18:31] $ eject /dev/tux38 [18:31] * diddledan joins #ubuntu to see the damage [18:31] ditto [18:32] oh my bad it was taken care of [18:32] 4 mins ago [18:32] catching up on some work here ^_^ [18:33] bah [18:33] humbug? [18:33] * zmoylan-pi proffers bag [18:37] sorry, I was off to eating my most excellent Tesco curry [18:41] :D [18:44] I prefer their korma and chicken tikka masala to any I've had in UK... [18:44] ahem [19:03] heh [19:03] i had a really nice lamb curry down in Lewes with my friends [19:04] just watched chappie - he's adorable [19:04] ooh i was gonna check that out, good call [19:04] also that one with the big podgy robot [19:05] big hero 6? [19:05] that is indeed a big podgy robot [19:06] that's the one :D [19:06] diddledan in saving me from looking things up \o/ [19:06] i'm waiting for inside out to come out on blurry. [19:06] I really wanna see inside out, too [19:06] saw it on the plane to boston last month [19:07] and watched it again on the flight back [19:07] lol [19:07] it's that good. holy hell. [19:08] hrmm Fargo s2 just started [19:08] and it's the most emotionally scarring film in disney history. screw simba's dad and bambi's mom and the toy story 3 furnace [19:09] is this the one about a lass's emotions? [19:10] yesh it is the one i'm thinking of [19:11] that's the one [19:36] and now i'm sorta crying from just listening to the soundtrack on youtube. it's a hell of a film! [19:36] ;_; [19:36] i don't think my emotions need that right now! [19:42] apparently the original up script had an extra 30 seconds of crushing despair, so this is my reaction to the "happy" final cut [19:46] squirrel!! [19:48] ooh i saw one in St Albans! [19:48] we don't have them over here [19:49] they released a bunch of red squirrels on wooded hill near me to repopulate the red squirrel population after they were decimated by the greys... saw one squished on road outside my place... [19:52] :S [19:56] i have seen a grey cross the road safely so they can learn i suppose. if they live long enough or see other squirrels do it [20:20] we all know what happens when a grey crosses the road: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3516832537/ [20:20] i was riding past one of the world war 2 tunnels dug by locals under duress of the occupying German forces, today [20:20] some extend for miles under the island [20:20] https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxdwvfnftvl2nih/VID_20151013_140922.mp4?dl=0 [20:21] wee little vid of ones entrance :P [20:33] I'm not sure it's a good idea to video someone's entrance :-p [20:34] [20:34] tee-hee! === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
