| DJones | I think I'll give this project a miss, somehow doesn't appeal to me https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1468268424/l-i-v-i-n-hive | 08:35 |
| Myrtti | I'd rather eat mealworms that grasshoppers | 08:56 |
| Myrtti | grasshoppers were a bit too crunchy for my taste | 08:56 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:59 |
| DJones | One of the people at work has a 9 year old daughter, her christmas request is for edible bugs to try, she tried grasshoppers at school and wants to try different bugs now | 09:02 |
| Myrtti | that's cute | 09:07 |

| TwistedLucidity | Down with Chorelywood! | 10:40 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| popey | TwistedLucidity, i used to work in Kings Langley, whenever I said "Kings Langley", wifey would immediately say "Chorleywood!" because the two were always said together in the traffic reports on radio... | 11:46 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rj9p21r6jowb4o7/AACkI5b027SctsMRNppGZLfOa?dl=0 | 11:55 |
| daftykins | £160 27" HannsG 2560x1440 IPS arrived :O | 11:55 |
| TwistedLucidity | daftykins: What version of Linux is that in the screenshot? Looks totally amazing! | 11:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | looks like xubuntu... | 11:57 |
| daftykins | i would imagine the less said about that the better :> | 11:58 |
| daftykins | that's about the only machine in the house that has HDMI and can drive that res; even then it required going into the advanced settings, setting a custom mode and changing the timing standard | 11:59 |
| daftykins | i'd hate to think how bad the same would be with xrandr - often i see folk trying to add a mode over in #ubuntu and all it does it spit out some complaint at the parameters regardless of being correct or not :P | 12:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | the fun of selecting a freq that creates a whine that annoys the kids, cats and dogs... | 12:00 |
| daftykins | :) there's something odd about having VGA on the above display, given it can only do 2048x1536 max... | 12:02 |
| * zmoylan-pi misses the green text on black of ancient ibm monitor i first used in 80s... hercules video card powered it. | 12:08 | |
| zmoylan-pi | franken pc that someone had erased the disk park utility on. so it had to be moved super carefully. | 12:09 |
| daftykins | couldn't obtain it again? 0o | 12:10 |
| diddledan | lol, my first pc had one of those utilities - dad added a call to it via a batch script called bye.bat, so to shutdown I just typed "bye" and waited for the hard drive to shutdown then power off | 12:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | well it would involve finding a bbs that hosted park utilities for companies that no longer existed iirc | 12:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | and the bbs would most likely be in usa so be a long distance call... | 12:11 |
| diddledan | skyper | 12:11 |
| diddledan | skype | 12:11 |
| diddledan | :-p | 12:11 |
| diddledan | I wonder if anyone has tried data calls via skype | 12:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | also the noisiest hard drive i ever used. i could hear the heads moving 2 rooms away | 12:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | i did once try an acoustic coupler to an analog mobile in 80s... | 12:14 |
| diddledan | wow | 12:14 |
| diddledan | fun | 12:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | more a proof of concept than practical as calls were stupidly expensive. a call to a nearby bbs was like calling japan level of cost... | 12:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | but i thought it might be useful if boss was in backend of ireland and needed code or binaries sent instead of a round trip back to dublin | 12:16 |
| diddledan | I wonder if I'm highlighted in intelligence agencies' extremist category yet | 12:23 |
| diddledan | (visiting linux journal might make you such, e.g.) | 12:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | i ordered a copy of guerilla days by tom barry over a decade ago to be sure :-) | 12:24 |
| diddledan | for any NSA or GCHQ guys, I'm not hard to find; I use my real name for example | 12:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've loaned that book to dozens of people... | 12:25 |
| diddledan | although I appear to no-longer be on the first page of teh googs | 12:25 |
| diddledan | looks like my homepage is the top result actually referring to me at number 24 | 12:28 |
| diddledan | when you search for my name that is | 12:28 |

| hexhaxtron | daftykins, diddledan I just want to know if I can get problems or get caught if I use a Smart TV with an antenna without paying for the license? | 13:00 |
| Laney | O_O | 13:01 |
| daftykins | you are at risk, so it's your gamble | 13:05 |
| daftykins | i don't have a license and therefore i don't use any broadcast TV method. simple as. | 13:05 |
| foobarry | The Guardian | 13:07 |
| foobarry | FHM and Zoo magazines to suspend publication | 13:07 |
| foobarry | replaced by reddit | 13:07 |
| SuperMatt | pretty much | 13:08 |
| SuperMatt | I'm not surprised, they just couldn't' keep up | 13:08 |
| foobarry | FHM’s circulation fell to less than 67,000 for the first six months of this year.That compares to the more than 700,000 copies FHM was selling in 2000, | 13:11 |
| SuperMatt | well, we all still had dial back then | 13:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | so mens mags on the way out, even playboy won't be printing nudes next year, what are sales figures like for womens mags i wonder | 13:20 |
| foobarry | gossip mags? | 13:20 |
| foobarry | all mags are failling across the board | 13:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | well there's fashion/gossip/crafting plus other categories that if you saw on a waiting room table would label womens mags | 13:22 |
| foobarry | all except slimming world | 13:22 |
| foobarry | which has grown | 13:22 |
| foobarry | http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/article/1333599/magazines-abcs-top-100-glance | 13:22 |
| foobarry | linux format in the top 50 digital editions. not this year though | 13:23 |
| daftykins | i saw a Linux Format in a local Waitrose the other day, DVD said it had ubuntu 15.04 ¬_¬ | 13:25 |
| foobarry | wow | 13:26 |
| foobarry | the only mag i ever buy is airfix model world...free calednar this month :) | 13:26 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 13:26 |
| foobarry | linux magz are up against it when g+ supplies my needs | 13:26 |
| daftykins | all the free stuff gets lost to buyers over here i think | 13:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | does it come in parts that you have to assemble? :-) | 13:27 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: 13 pieces | 13:27 |
| * zmoylan-pi misses the days when computer shopper was about 1000 pages of adverts... and started on page 200 or so... | 13:27 | |
| foobarry | heh | 13:33 |
| daftykins | i remember those ;_; | 13:34 |
| diddledan | yey bugs! https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=557087 | 13:34 |
| Laney | yeah I remember buying those magazines that were just shop listings | 13:35 |
| Laney | and coming up with my dream PC | 13:35 |
| Laney | then working out that if I just did my paper round for 2 years | 13:35 |
| daftykins | then not affording it and having the sads? :D | 13:35 |
| Laney | and spent no money at all | 13:35 |
| Laney | ............ | 13:35 |
| Laney | yeah that happened | 13:35 |
| daftykins | i used the entire wage of a supermarket shelf stacking job to buy a single graphics card once | 13:36 |
| daftykins | geforce 2 GTS! | 13:36 |
| diddledan | what was the games mail-order catalogue that got put into magazines back in the 90s? | 13:37 |

| Seeker` | Are there any irc logs around from 2007 on the web? | 18:17 |
| diddledan | Seeker`: irclogs.ubuntu.com | 18:17 |
| Seeker` | Don't think loco logs there go back that far | 18:17 |
| DJones | Seeker`: 200 | 18:20 |
| DJones | 4 | 18:20 |
| Seeker` | diddledan: they go back to 18th nov 2010 | 18:20 |
| Seeker` | for ubuntu-uk | 18:20 |
| DJones | Maybe thats when it became offical and had a logbot | 18:21 |
| daftykins | after anything in particular? | 18:21 |
| Seeker` | trying to work out when mootbot first appeared | 18:22 |
| Seeker` | Trying to remember if I actually wrote it, or whether I stole the code from elsewhere :P | 18:23 |
| DJones | Seeker`: Have you been sued for copyright yet? If not, its yours :) | 18:24 |
| daftykins | or it's really bad? ;) | 18:24 |
| Seeker` | DJones: haha, no. But I don't maintain meeting bot code any longer either :P | 18:24 |
| Seeker` | Just a discussion I'm having with someone elsewhere. I *think* I wrote mootbot in response to an ubuntu-uk meeting that went on forever | 18:25 |
| Seeker` | I'm not sure who was around back then though :P | 18:25 |
| Seeker` | other than popey | 18:25 |
| popey | :) | 18:30 |
| popey | pretty sure we have older logs than that | 18:31 |
| Seeker` | yay! it's popey! | 18:31 |
| popey | maybe not | 18:31 |
| Seeker` | apparently I did write it in response to an overly long meeting https://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/Meetings-Minutes-and-Mootbot | 18:31 |
| popey | I've seen it used by other projects too | 18:32 |
| popey | including fedora and suse | 18:32 |
| Seeker` | I think the original mootbot is long dead, but there have been ports of rewrites of rewrites etc. | 18:32 |
| popey | heh | 18:32 |
| Seeker` | It was started as a clone/replacement of meetbot by HolgerLevsen, which was itself a derivative of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScribesTeam/MootBot used by the Ubuntu Scribes team | 18:33 |
| Seeker` | That's the debian one | 18:33 |
| DJones | Did mootbot become alanbell's meetingology | 18:36 |
| popey | maybe | 18:37 |
| daftykins | i take it the other alans didn't drop of the face of the earth - and just eschew IRC these days? | 18:38 |
| daftykins | *off | 18:38 |
| popey | yeah, busy busy | 18:38 |
| DJones | Probably can't get irc in the pepper tunnel | 18:38 |
| DJones | Alan Bell is certainly active on twitter with his fire creating peppers | 18:39 |
| daftykins | ah good good :D | 18:39 |
| daftykins | sad if that Pi project never got any further though | 18:40 |
| Seeker` | DJones: I think he reimplemented Mootbot as meetingology | 18:48 |
| DJones | quite possibly | 18:48 |
| DJones | It was done quite quickly, not sure which source he used | 18:49 |
| foobarry | what happened about the pi's ? wasn't that a kickstarter type thing? | 19:31 |
