[01:44] <popey> omg, how have I only just realised that our very own penguin42 wrote BeebEm. http://www.mkw.me.uk/beebem/
[01:45] <diddledan> :-o
[01:48] <daftykins> *gasp*
[01:51] <diddledan> who knew people in here were actually doing stuff?
[01:51] <diddledan> I figured as I do as little as possible that everyone else would be the same :-p
[01:51] <popey> (in 1994)
[01:54] <daftykins> diddledan: i might have you beat
[01:54]  * diddledan anticipates the spanking
[01:55] <diddledan> oh, you don't mean beat as in flogging
[01:56] <daftykins> nope your luck is out tonight i'm afraid!
[01:56]  * diddledan pouts
[02:27] <zmoylan-1i> you always had penguin42 down as a zx spectrum user... :-P
[03:23] <daftykins> oh so silly but cheapty-cheap: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Y0LX3BS
[03:37] <zmoylan-pi> wow it has a webcam!! :-)
[03:39] <daftykins> i know! *blown away*
[03:39] <zmoylan-pi> bonus points that the new ones are cheaper than the used one
[03:40] <daftykins> better yet, a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD is coming up at 10am
[03:50] <diddledan> when is black friday?
[03:50] <daftykins> 27th odd i think
[03:51] <diddledan> yeah, that's what tech radar says too
[03:51] <daftykins> thanksgiving confirmed as 26th, yip :>
[03:51] <zmoylan-pi> day of hell for retail workers in usa...
[03:52] <daftykins> :)
[03:52] <daftykins> apparently some things start at 6pm the day before, too
[03:52]  * zmoylan-pi wonders what the body count will be this year :-/
[03:53] <daftykins> wow i never thought to shop for dishwasher tablets on amazon :P
[03:53] <daftykins> postage material waste is a concern, though
[03:53] <zmoylan-pi> buy bulk leave your offspring a lifetime supply of dishwasher tabs :-)
[03:55] <daftykins> oh i intend for none!
[03:56] <zmoylan-pi> never leave a tab behind!!
[03:56] <diddledan> lol @ techradar: The numbers on Black Friday in 2014 were so big that websites fell over like Victorian ladies on a hot day, with HP, Best Buy, Currys, Tesco, Argos, Boots and Game's websites all requiring smelling salts.
[03:57] <zmoylan-pi> at least argos were selling a fainting couch and boots HAD smelling salts...
[03:57] <diddledan> I wonder how much amazon will make off AWS servers
[03:58] <zmoylan-pi> well if they install the software to run aws in the background of computers sold on amazon... lots :-)
[04:02] <daftykins> that's a bit paranoid
[04:03] <zmoylan-pi> i have a lenovo :-)
[04:06] <daftykins> pff
[04:06] <zmoylan-pi> yeah, i do wonder who owns who too :-P
[04:07] <daftykins> hmm user with a WMV that doesn't play, what fun and games - http://paste.ubuntu.com/13359070/
[04:07] <daftykins> video is ok, but no audio
[04:09] <zmoylan-pi> i had audio die in mx player, till i found they had to remove mp3 playback BUT added an addon to add it back...
[04:10] <zmoylan-pi> for legal reasons
[04:10] <zmoylan-pi> which is why i don't let android auto update anymore :-)
[04:10] <daftykins> i turned that off the day facebook bought whatsapp
[04:12]  * zmoylan-pi goes to see kitten pics to calm down.... http://thechive.com/2015/11/19/these-cat-parents-are-proud-of-their-little-ones-34-photos/
[04:13] <daftykins> that calls for poking diddledan for emergency kittens
[04:16] <mapps> hmm
[04:16] <mapps> enjoying this blindspot series
[04:16] <mapps> :D
[04:19] <daftykins> but how can you see it? ;)
[04:21] <zmoylan-pi> he has a mirror, what is this, the dark ages? :-)
[04:22] <daftykins> yes!
[04:22] <zmoylan-pi> well... yes... ok... it is night time...
[04:23] <mapps> ;D
[04:24] <zmoylan-pi> does night count as an age... time waiting in a+e excepted of course
[04:24] <daftykins> or a government queue
[04:25] <mapps> lots of tv today yay
[04:26] <zmoylan-pi> a+e isn't a government queue? just with extra pain and gloopiness....
[04:27] <daftykins> mapps: got a free new phone today! http://www.techblo.gg/stuff/n5.jpeg £26 delivered for a new screen
[04:29] <zmoylan-pi> i got a cheap android 5" phone today to replace a 7" tablet for €70 http://www.tescomobile.ie/phones/displayPhone.aspx?p=287
[04:30] <daftykins> ah har, China's learning your accent ;)
[04:30] <zmoylan-pi> bonus points, it allowed me to delete the facebook apps and other dross unlike every other android phone so far
[04:31] <daftykins> \o/
[04:31] <daftykins> the Nexii are good for not coming with that tosh :>
[04:32] <daftykins> i'm going to be staring at my letterbox awaiting this screen, much excitement :)
[04:33] <zmoylan-pi> i'd say that daftykins needs to get out more but reckon that would be the time the delivery would happen...
[04:34] <daftykins> i made a little scrap of paper with sellotape on my front door and a mobile # to call :D
[08:38] <MooDoo> morning all

[09:12] <davmor2> I got a bit of Nancy Sinatra stuck in my head this morning Kinky Boots the film has a lot to answer for :)
[09:19] <MooDoo> davmor2: David Bowie for me at the moment.
[09:19] <SuperMatt> when did systemd land in Ubuntu? Was it utopic or vivid?
[09:22] <davmor2> MooDoo: oh I have some of his in my morning headsong list already
[09:22] <davmor2> MooDoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwk75Fek3qs

[09:29] <MooDoo> :)
[09:29] <MooDoo> I'm listening to five years
[09:40] <zmoylan-pi> mention of bowie reminded me to check into chris hadfields album i heard mention of earlier in the week. digital download only... boo...
[09:41] <Myrtti> would FLAC make you feel better about it?
[09:42] <zmoylan-pi> a cd i could chuck in a box after i rip it is my usual method...
[09:43] <Myrtti> https://www.7digital.com/artist/chris-hadfield/release/space-sessions-songs-from-a-tin-can/
[09:59] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day! 😃
[10:29] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkq7WZTzkLQ
[10:30] <davmor2> JamesTait: I think that covers it nicely :)
[10:35] <JamesTait> davmor2, I'll give you that, well played. I was looking at https://youtu.be/q4zbtC3-hIw
[10:36] <davmor2> bit hard to sing along with :)
[10:40] <davmor2> JamesTait: oh there is the reprise version too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8MWjFO9NCc
[10:42] <JamesTait> davmor2, you're just trying to slyly sneak Christmas in early, aren't you? 😉
[10:43] <zmoylan-pi> i saw a christmas tree in tescos yesterday.  it's too late... save yourselves... \o/
[10:43] <davmor2> JamesTait: You pick the days not me ;)
[10:44] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: there were christmas supplies in before halloween
[10:44] <zmoylan-pi> nah but this was a lit up crimbo tree just inside the door
[13:10] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[13:25] <foobarry> has there been a ps4 price drop recently
[13:25] <foobarry> starting to want one
[13:26] <zmoylan-pi> the price drop comes 2 days AFTER you buy one, is this your first expensive electronic purchase? :-)
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> my personal best is ordering a psion 5mx and it arriving on the day psion announced they were going to stop making pdas...
[13:45] <foobarry> Sony has finally confirmed a £50.00 price drop on the PlayStation 4, making the console's recommended retail price £299.99 in the UK for the 500GB model and €349.99 across the rest of Europe.
[13:47] <mapps> hi;]
[15:05] <diplo> foobarry: I've seen them on hotukdeals for around £250 on certain deals
[15:05] <diplo> So defo worth shopping about or the dreaded black friday sales
[16:47] <davmor2> That the xmas lights competition won then https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUNAO0GVEAALF1D.jpg
[16:47] <diddledan> nice
[16:50] <zmoylan-pi> i still prefer... http://www.lovethispic.com/image/52699/dont-put-lights-on-a-palm-tree :-P
[16:51]  * diddledan sniggers
[16:59] <davmor2> diddledan: I preferred them as marathons :P
[17:10] <davmor2> Right About Now! the funk soul brother....
[17:11] <zmoylan-pi> which for some reason was used in ireland in an advert for wap to make it look cool and hip and useful...
[17:11] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi, wap. that be new fangled shenanigans!
[17:12] <zmoylan-pi> it's like html for sms!!
[17:12] <davmor2> diddledan: stands for way advanced protocol rigth?
[17:13] <zmoylan-pi> and just like minitel in ireland it had a huge launch and no one used it as it cost silly money
[17:13] <diddledan> hmm. lastpass is broken
[17:14] <diddledan> they appear to be entirely gone from the web
[17:15] <davmor2> diddledan: probably got hacked but don't worry your passwords are safe with them
[17:16] <zmoylan-pi> they're adding 1 character to every password for fun...
[17:19] <diddledan> maybe they're being DDoSed?
[17:19] <diddledan> their website is timing out
[17:19] <diddledan> chrome helpfully says "The server for https://lastpass.com/ took too long to respond. It may be overloaded."
[17:20] <zmoylan-pi> the nsa is backing up their data :-)
[17:20] <davmor2> diddledan: http://www.securityweek.com/security-flaws-lastpass-exposed-user-passwords
[17:21] <diddledan> yeah, they fixed those
[17:22] <davmor2> diddledan: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/lastpass.com
[17:22] <awilkins> Why do people trust a third party service to keep their passwords safe anyway?!?
[17:23]  * awilkins uses Dropbox + Password Safe + compatible programs
[17:23] <davmor2> I just use Hunter2 nobody guesses that
[17:24] <awilkins> It's astounding how all IRC clients still implement that password protection feature - all I saw was *******
[17:25] <davmor2> awilkins: I does blow the mind right, I bet you copy pasted that right cause I saw Hunter2 my end :)
[17:26] <zmoylan-pi> postits on your monitor is the way to go but you have to cover any webcams if you wear glasses :-)
[18:22] <popey> !ping
[18:22] <lubotu3`> pong!
[18:30] <zmoylan-pi> !wakka
[18:30] <daftykins> Pacman?
[18:30] <zmoylan-pi> or fozzie bear...
[18:31] <daftykins> hurrah i finally got a jacket i ordered 1 month ago delivered to my local Blacks shop :)
[18:32] <zmoylan-pi> now you just need to 1) get to shop 2) get staff member 3) one who can find item 4) can work a till 5) acknowledge you ordered it...
[18:32] <zmoylan-pi> good luck :-)
[18:33] <daftykins> oh it's about 30m from my door, so all done :)
[18:33] <daftykins> benefits of living 5m from the high street
[18:33]  * zmoylan-pi puts on kettle and awaits tale of horror... L0(
[18:34] <zmoylan-pi> :-)
[18:34] <zmoylan-pi> hand went asleep...
[18:35] <daftykins> ;]
[18:37] <popey> !ping
[18:37] <lubotu3`> pong!
[18:37] <popey> yay
[18:39] <daftykins> popey: that's a fine days work :D
[18:40] <popey> My work here is done!
[18:41] <daftykins> \o/
[18:44] <davmor2> !popey
[18:44] <lubotu3`> popey is the UK alternative to elvis.
[18:45] <daftykins> :D
[18:47] <diddledan_> Nice
[18:47] <diddledan_> !isitoutyet
[18:47] <lubotu3`> It's out! Party in #ubuntu-release-party - download at http://ubuntu.com/download/
[18:47] <diddledan_> Lies
[18:49] <daftykins> why?
[18:52] <diddledan_> Xenial isn't due yet
[18:54] <daftykins> got quite a while :)
[18:54] <daftykins> a new LTS is much excite, however
[18:58] <diddledan_> But the name isn't fun like wily tho
[19:00] <daftykins> a mate in another channel was testing wily on an old PC, he had some kind of card that was getting misidentified by the kernel at bootup, yet worked fine in trusty
[19:01] <daftykins> at one point it disappeared so i mentioned the ol' PSU power connector detach from the motherboard to fully discharge it, worked a charm and the card came back - yet it took changing slot for the card to be identified
[19:01] <daftykins> seemed like something from the days before programmable interrupt controllers
[19:04] <diddledan_> Wow!
[19:04] <diddledan_> Old hardware few
[19:04] <diddledan_> Ftw
[19:07] <directhex> have been working many days to get mono updated for ubuntu x
[19:08] <daftykins> that bringing all the open sauce MS .NET goodness to Linux land?
[19:08] <daftykins> i say goodness but i know nothing of it :)
[19:11] <directhex> daftykins: well, mono 4.2 has more microsoft source code in it than 4.0, and 3.12- it was just standalone libs, not their core class library stuff
[19:13] <daftykins> interesting
[19:14] <directhex> well technically they both have just as much microsoft source, it's just in 4.0 only a limited number of microsoft's files are compiled in
