[07:39] <zmoylan-pi> maybe if you die in an internet café in korea immediately afterwards?
[07:39] <diplo> Morning, and no DJones :)
[07:40] <zmoylan-pi> i think my longest game session was about 15 hours in 80s playing tau ceti
[07:41] <JohnHunt> gosh
[07:41] <zmoylan-pi> i wanted to play the game start to finnish in 1 session
[07:41] <JohnHunt> I've forgotten our new co-workers name
[07:41] <JohnHunt> carl
[07:41] <JohnHunt> phew
[07:42] <zmoylan-pi> give him a t-shirt or base ball cap with carl on it in a qr code :-P
[07:42] <JohnHunt> qr code lol
[08:16] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:01] <selinuxium> Hi all o/
[09:09] <MooDoo> howdy selinuxium
[09:19] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Ada Lovelace Day! 😃
[09:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:26] <davmor2> 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] <JohnHunt> much emoji
[09:49] <Myrtti> 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] <selinuxium> 'lo MooDoo  :)
[09:53] <JamesTait> davmor2, I'll let you off with that one.
[09:57] <selinuxium> Any one here played with juju?
[10:03] <JohnHunt> Myrtti: with the decaf stuff as long as you use more of it it is ok
[10:52] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:52] <MooDoo> howdy bigcalm
[11:03] <bigcalm> o/
[15:35] <Azelphur> Got to the bottom of my FedEx customs shenanigans
[15:35] <daftykins> for them thar displays again?
[15:35] <Azelphur> yup
[15:36] <daftykins> oh they holding up the shipment now?
[15:36] <Azelphur> 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] <Azelphur> yes they are, and they are trying to charge me 14% because they chose ^ as my commodity code
[15:36] <daftykins> CRTs!
[15:37] <zmoylan-pi> they hate you because you ordred crts :-)
[15:37] <Azelphur> I didn't order CRTs, they are LED monitors
[15:37] <diddledan> seems lcd aren't subject: https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593100
[15:37] <zmoylan-pi> they hate you because you *didn't* ordr crts then :-)
[15:38] <diddledan> I guess that's because of environmental concerns?
[15:38] <Azelphur> diddledan: indeed they aren't, neither are leds, which is what these monitors are
[15:38] <daftykins> well, LED backlit LCDs
[15:38] <diddledan> led screens are lcd
[15:38] <daftykins> apart from OLED, they are no more LED than virgin media are providing fiber tubes ;)
[15:39]  * Azelphur shrugs
[15:39] <Azelphur> I told them to use this code, https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/8528593900
[15:40] <daftykins> looks good
[15:41] <diddledan> I think my one would be more appropriate
[15:42] <diddledan> but seems there's not much difference with the two
[15:44] <Azelphur> yea not a whole lot of difference
[15:46] <diddledan> 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] <Azelphur> diddledan: yea, mainly trying to drop the 14% on CRTs
[15:47] <diddledan> 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] <zmoylan-pi> he wasn't in jaws
[15:48] <diddledan> you sure?
[15:48]  * zmoylan-pi bets a euro
[15:48] <diddledan> who was in jaws then?
[15:49] <zmoylan-pi> scheider?
[15:49] <diddledan> aah
[15:49] <diddledan> my bad
[15:49] <diddledan> still funny
[16:02] <diddledan> 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] <zmoylan-pi> 2015 will be the year of the desktop you lose in your pocket :-)
[16:07] <diddledan> indeed
[16:08] <daftykins> ooh my Dell UK have the new XPS 13 9350 :D
[16:08] <diddledan> \o/
[16:08] <diddledan> when you buying? :-p
[16:08] <daftykins> when i'm rich
[16:09] <diddledan> lol
[16:10] <daftykins> http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukbsdt1&sku=452-BBOO&price=140.19
[16:10] <daftykins> single cable USB, external displays and LAN 8D
[16:12] <diddledan> \o/
[16:12] <diddledan> I like docking stations
[16:12]  * diddledan docks his port
[16:13] <daftykins> 'tis proper thunderbolt over USB
[16:13] <diddledan> ooh?
[16:13] <daftykins> http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC
[16:13] <diddledan> I thought thunderbolt used a display-port-compatible system
[16:14] <daftykins> 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] <diddledan> aah
[16:14] <daftykins> since DP goes out into DP, HDMI or i think VGA too
[16:14] <daftykins> i think i might get one tbh :P it seems really nice
[16:15] <diddledan> yeah DP has an analogue set of wires, like dvi
[16:15] <awilkins> I have a DP > HDMI adapter
[16:15] <diddledan> I believe DP is just HDMI without the licensing
[16:15] <daftykins> just a shame you can't get the top end model with a FHD display, they make you go up to 4K
[16:15] <awilkins> And a DP > VGA adapter
[16:15] <daftykins> pretty much, far higher signal speed than common HDMI though... bit higher than HDMI 2.0 too i think
[16:15] <awilkins> 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] <diddledan> yeah I think DP is a superset
[16:16] <awilkins> Not sure if you need active circuits
[16:16] <diddledan> most DPs these days use the mini-DP plug/socket IIRC
[16:16] <awilkins> My DP > HDMI adapter has enough room for some circuitboard in
[16:16] <diddledan> lil square thingy
[16:16] <daftykins> "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] <awilkins> And of course, Thunderbolt and USB-C are the same physical thing
[16:16] <daftykins> http://i.dell.com/sites/imagecontent/products/PublishingImages/xps-13-9350-laptop/laptop-xps-13-9350-pdp-polaris-09.jpg
[16:17] <diddledan> I like the concept of USB-C
[16:17] <awilkins> USB-C for all the things
[16:17] <diddledan> finally a single connector for evarythang
[16:17] <awilkins> I still think Apple are being wanky by only putting one in a Macbook Air though
[16:17] <diddledan> tis a shame Microsoft didn't put it on their new surfaces
[16:17] <popey> I'm sad more laptops don't have it
[16:17]  * awilkins apologises for mildly unsafe comment in family channel
[16:18] <popey> maybe next gen ones will
[16:18] <popey> which is interesting that apple lead the way on that
[16:18] <awilkins> They took the whole "one port for everything" tagline too seriously though
[16:18] <diddledan> awilkins, as in they only put one port on the device?
[16:18] <awilkins> Yup
[16:19] <diddledan> yeah, that's a bit sucky
[16:19] <diddledan> means you're requried to use a hub
[16:19] <awilkins> Especially since it's now the charge port
[16:20] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> case in point, firewire A and B
[16:21] <popey> usb
[16:21] <popey> they led on that
[16:21] <zmoylan-pi> and horrible lightning cables
[16:22] <awilkins> I hate Firewire
[16:22] <awilkins> I dunno why it's named that, but I always get a shock off it
[16:22] <awilkins> Maybe that IS why
[16:23] <popey> They led the way on firewire, which was better than the other options at the time.
[16:23] <diddledan> firewire uses plugs that can be coerced into connecting backasswards thereby ruining the devices at both ends
[16:23] <popey> along with sony
[16:23] <awilkins> Firewire lets hackers pwn your machine because it has a DMA controller
[16:23] <awilkins> As does Thunderbolt
[16:23] <zmoylan-pi> bring back scsi.... :-)
[16:24] <popey> RS-232 9-pin D ftw
[16:24] <popey> s/9/25/
[16:24] <zmoylan-pi> i know a song about rs-232...
[16:24] <awilkins> Is it "RS-232 / RS-232 / RS-232 / Interface Lead"  ?
[16:24] <m0nkey_> 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] <awilkins> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDlj0jBtYmQ
[16:25] <zmoylan-pi> you beat me to it :-)
[16:26] <daftykins> awilkins: shock off firewire? it doesn't even provide power :)
[16:27] <awilkins> It always feels ... buzzy
[16:27] <awilkins> Maybe I have a grounding problem
[16:27] <diddledan> daftykins, it does!
[16:27] <zmoylan-pi> i was always shocked by dodgy coax network cable
[16:28] <daftykins> D: must've been a later addition?
[16:28] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi, I'm always shocked by my birds' nest of cables - it is a mess!
[16:34] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> handy page on thunderbolt 3 over USB C: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-does-it-all
[16:53] <popey> o/50
[17:35] <zmoylan-pi> diddledan: you're gonna need a bigger kayak... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUld0tszSG8
[18:01] <m6lpi> lol
[18:02] <m6lpi> bigger paddle more like
[18:27] <daftykins> any of you lot active that are ops in #ubuntu? tux38 needs ejecting and sooner rather than later.
[18:31] <diddledan> $ eject /dev/tux38
[18:31]  * diddledan joins #ubuntu to see the damage
[18:31] <zmoylan-pi> ditto
[18:32] <daftykins> oh my bad it was taken care of
[18:32] <daftykins> 4 mins ago
[18:32] <daftykins> catching up on some work here ^_^
[18:33] <diddledan> bah
[18:33] <zmoylan-pi> humbug?
[18:33]  * zmoylan-pi proffers bag
[18:37] <Myrtti> sorry, I was off to eating my most excellent Tesco curry
[18:41] <daftykins> :D
[18:44] <Myrtti> I prefer their korma and chicken tikka masala to any I've had in UK...
[18:44] <Myrtti> ahem
[19:03] <daftykins> heh
[19:03] <daftykins> i had a really nice lamb curry down in Lewes with my friends
[19:04] <diddledan> just watched chappie - he's adorable
[19:04] <daftykins> ooh i was gonna check that out, good call
[19:04] <daftykins> also that one with the big podgy robot
[19:05] <diddledan> big hero 6?
[19:05] <directhex> that is indeed a big podgy robot
[19:06] <daftykins> that's the one :D
[19:06] <daftykins> diddledan in saving me from looking things up \o/
[19:06] <directhex> i'm waiting for inside out to come out on blurry.
[19:06] <diddledan> I really wanna see inside out, too
[19:06] <directhex> saw it on the plane to boston last month
[19:07] <directhex> and watched it again on the flight back
[19:07] <diddledan> lol
[19:07] <directhex> it's that good. holy hell.
[19:08] <daftykins> hrmm Fargo s2 just started
[19:08] <directhex> 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] <daftykins> is this the one about a lass's emotions?
[19:10] <daftykins> yesh it is the one i'm thinking of
[19:11] <directhex> that's the one
[19:36] <directhex> and now i'm sorta crying from just listening to the soundtrack on youtube. it's a hell of a film!
[19:36] <daftykins> ;_;
[19:36] <daftykins> i don't think my emotions need that right now!
[19:42] <directhex> 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] <zmoylan-pi> squirrel!!
[19:48] <daftykins> ooh i saw one in St Albans!
[19:48] <daftykins> we don't have them over here
[19:49] <zmoylan-pi> 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] <daftykins> :S
[19:56] <zmoylan-pi> 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] <diddledan> we all know what happens when a grey crosses the road: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3516832537/
[20:20] <daftykins> i was riding past one of the world war 2 tunnels dug by locals under duress of the occupying German forces, today
[20:20] <daftykins> some extend for miles under the island

[20:33] <diddledan> I'm not sure it's a good idea to video someone's entrance :-p

[20:34] <daftykins> tee-hee!
