[00:23] <jimmy_will> Howdy all o/
[00:23] <daftykins> hi
[00:26] <diddledan> moobs
[00:34] <daftykins> well this is rude, my new disk enclosure has started to be ignored by my xbox one
[00:34] <daftykins> directhex: you used any external storage with yours?
[00:37] <diddledan> daftykins, it's broke - like I said many times, you attract dead disks
[01:11] <zmoylan-pi> and if you plug the external drive into any other system does it work? or does xbox demand some wacky format that only works on xbox?
[01:18]  * diddledan plugs his in
[01:18] <diddledan> oh, wait, disks
[01:18] <diddledan> ignore me
[01:19] <diddledan> this is why chanops need to sleep so that I can get away with norties
[01:21] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: they use funky modifications to a standard GPT to stop PCs reading them outright
[01:21] <zmoylan-pi> you can always use rude words from other languages... sassenach... :-)
[01:21] <daftykins> a helpful UK chap is helping me hexedit the drive based on my disk dumps of the first 1MB :D
[01:22] <diddledan> daftykins, I'll bet that weird loonicks thing can read them
[01:22] <diddledan> eep
[01:22] <daftykins> that's what i'm using ;) but no it can't
[01:22] <diddledan> hexediting is evil at the best of times
[01:22] <zmoylan-pi> oooooh, using norton disk util to read someones docs from a wonky disk.... that takes me back...
[01:22] <diddledan> dang
[01:23] <diddledan> I helped a dude work out what a long-lost game was that he had a photo of himself playing as a kid earlier: https://twitter.com/diddledan/status/664203318378516480
[01:23] <zmoylan-pi> if windows can't read it, then it's some wacky half assed ms layer on top of ntfs deliberately to make xbox look super duper
[01:24] <diddledan> I wonder if they just have the filesystem without a partition table?
[01:25] <diddledan> it might also be ReFS or Storage Spaces which I don't think linux can handle yet
[01:29] <diddledan> somethings tweeting outside
[01:29] <diddledan> or chirping
[01:29] <daftykins> well i plugged a second disk in and installed halo5 to it, brought it up and my linux lappy read from the backup GPT just fine from it
[01:29] <daftykins> so there's a quirk with my first drive
[04:11] <diddledan> so wily doesn't like my ms surface tablet :-p
[04:12] <diddledan> it hangs shortly after booting
[04:12] <diddledan> as in hard hang, not a crash
[04:14] <daftykins> that fellow is cunning, we got it working by mounting the partition with losetup and an offset
[04:14] <daftykins> skipping the partition tables entirely
[04:14] <diddledan> \o/
[04:14] <daftykins> aww no wily surfaces for you sir!
[04:14] <diddledan> I guess I should just put my wily away :-(
[04:16] <daftykins> i think it best
[04:16] <daftykins> you know what the neighbours would say
[07:46] <mapp> hi

[10:40] <davmor2> Ridgewing: I will be
[10:41] <Ridgewing> I shall be too. [I've got a red England Rooney shirt on aswell. He's number 4]
[10:44] <Ridgewing> Apparently if you touch yur red button after 8pm on Friday on the beeb - you get Mr Isaac's saying " Never befoore, in the field of human conflict, was so ... [it goes on a_bit]"
[11:36] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[11:45] <davmor2> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkrPxHaqKIc   muhahahahahaha :D
[11:48] <davmor2> I love the line like singing Ironic when there are no ironies :)
[13:57] <marshmn> hi all; AIUI, within the Ubuntu repositories there are fonts available which are not installed by default. Is there some webpage which shows how all of these fonts look, so that I can decide which to install?
[13:57] <marshmn> I'm looking for more fonts suitable for headings and things in DTP work
[14:01] <popey> I dont think we have such a page
[14:09] <davmor2> marshmn: there should I guess be a preview in software center in theory
[16:31] <mapps> hi all
[16:57] <mapps> quiet ere as ever;]
[17:01] <bigcalm> Sssh
[17:10] <mapps> ;]
[17:26] <davmor2> it's oh so quiet, it's oh so still....
[17:29] <awilkins> You're all alone. And so peaceful until........
[17:29] <awilkins> A BILLION SPIDERS CRAWL OUT FROM BEHIND THE RADIATOR AND FEAST UPON YOUR EYEBALLS
[17:32] <bashrc_> is that a Canonical mission statement?
[17:33] <diddledan> davmor2, then someone makes a riat
[17:34] <diddledan> (she never pronounced that right for some reason)
[17:35] <diddledan> maybe she said it as riet, rather than riat. either way it was not riot
[17:37] <davmor2> diddledan: dude you can hardly speak English give the foreigner a break :D
[17:37] <diddledan> lol
[17:37] <diddledan> good point
[17:38] <diddledan> bloomin foreigners being foreign
[17:38] <diddledan> doing their foreign things with other foreigners
[17:38] <diddledan> you'd think they were just like everyone else the way they behave
[17:39] <diddledan> I hold higher standards! only natives are allowed to be eejits
[17:39]  * bashrc_ imagines Shuttleworth announcing spider eyeball convergence story
[17:39] <diddledan> anywho I'm off
[18:20] <awilkins> On the matter of the Icelandic Singing Pixie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A78yTvIY1k
[18:37] <bashrc> "for the next generation of ubuntu convergent devices we've made having spiders crawl out of your phone and feasting upon your eyeballs into a simple and elegant user experience. Just swipe down like this, and then..."
[18:42] <awilkins> I'm reading that in Bjork's voice now
[18:42] <awilkins> It's surprisingly calming
[20:16] <diddledan> eep, spiders!
[20:34]  * zmoylan-pi blows on back of diddledan's neck to give the heebie jeebies...
[20:44] <SuperEngineer> have the spiders gone yet?  if not, I've a few chips that
[20:45] <SuperEngineer> they would taste delicious with ;-)
[20:47] <zmoylan-pi> a drumstick for everyone \o/
[20:58] <SuperEngineer> :D
[21:27]  * zmoylan-pi is watching terrorform episode of red dwarf with taranshula setting up home in listers underwear...
[21:27] <daftykins> :)
[21:56]  * diddledan_ bounces
[22:00] <zmoylan-pi> connection bouncing before the storm... https://twitter.com/ESBNetworks/status/664489730164326400
[22:15] <daftykins> i did ESB in school ;)
[22:17] <diddledan_> I did LSD
[22:18] <daftykins> :O
[22:22] <davmor2> I love LSD it is one of my favourite beatles tracks
[23:09] <ali1234> i can't see hashtags on twitter
[23:09] <daftykins> sounds ideal
[23:09] <ali1234> it's like madlibs
[23:10] <ali1234> i do wonder why though
[23:16] <diddledan_> o_O
[23:17] <diddledan_> #hashfail
[23:18] <ali1234> it's one of my adblock subsriptions
[23:21] <daftykins> ublock origin!
[23:22] <ali1234> no
[23:23] <daftykins> a finely reasoned argument as always
[23:23] <diddledan_> I don't like that adblock has deals with the advertisers to not block everything
[23:23] <ali1234> i do
[23:24] <ali1234> i also like that adblock is now providing an alternative to mozilla on android
[23:24] <webpigeon> I wouldn't even use it if i could browse a page without the content being interupted by javascript popups
[23:24] <webpigeon> it's like 1995, web 2.0 style
[23:27] <ali1234> daftykins: when i supply reasoned arguments i get accused of being pedantic. so i no longer bother
[23:27] <daftykins> aww diddums
[23:27] <ali1234> ah, a sarcastic and dismissive response *as always*
[23:27] <daftykins> :D
[23:28] <daftykins> dismissing a dismissal is a novel one
[23:29] <diddledan_> you're dismissed
[23:49] <diddledan_> lol @ mansized electricity (from popey on the linux unplugged show)
[23:57] <popey> :)
[23:57] <diddledan_> I like the description of wimpy's roadtrip setup too
[23:58] <popey> it was dead fun
[23:59]  * popey casts a spell of invokation
[23:59] <popey> *boom*
[23:59] <popey> and he appears
[23:59] <flexiondotorg> as if by magic
 I like the description of wimpy's roadtrip setup too
[23:59] <diddledan_> \o/
[23:59] <flexiondotorg> flexiondotorg is Wimpy.
