| _shaun_ | hi guys i have a massive image that ubuntu insists on printing to one page, how do i print this image to multiple pages? | 09:02 |
| DJones | _shaun_: This looks like it might do what you need https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/photoprint/ | 09:13 |
| DJones | Although not available for more recent releases | 09:13 |
| davmor2 | _shaun_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18698/printing-a-poster-over-several-sheets-of-paper | 09:16 |
| davmor2 | _shaun_: you basically need a tool to do it for you, the default print dialog is basic and designed on the whole for general printing needs | 09:18 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 09:20 |
| _shaun_ | thanks guys id like to find something native to ubuntu but ill look at the tools use describe | 09:33 |
| foobarry | irssi has 2 windows open for a chan. if i /wc it closes both. any ideas? | 09:36 |
| pwaring | Perhaps /wc is aliases to /leave? | 09:39 |
| MooDoo | morning all | 09:45 |
| davmor2 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPdYYsEfAE crying my ribs hurt so much | 10:09 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:11 |
| davmor2 | I love my morning scan of the video scope on the ubuntu phone :) | 10:15 |
| * brobostigon wants to get his hands on the pebble compatibility. | 10:16 | |
| zmoylan-pi | i think i've watched less than 2-3 youtube videos on mobile devices as the speed is so sucky even on wifi. | 10:19 |
| daftykins | seriously? what kind of mobile devices? | 10:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | symbian, iphones, android devices... | 10:26 |
| daftykins | strange! only time i've had issues was the other morning when the island wide tubes issue was going on | 10:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | nearly 11am and still dark enough to need a light on... | 10:47 |
| MooDoo | and you'll still see cars without lights on | 10:48 |
| foobarry | tarmac/sky coloured cars | 10:51 |
| daftykins | hmm, time to update myself on the dreaded MS Office costs o0 | 10:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | kidney for the software and your sanity for the usage... :-) | 10:54 |
| MooDoo | daftykins: it's about £7 a month for home version, i'm guessing you're wanting business? | 10:56 |
| daftykins | not for me, but yeah pricing it up for someone | 10:56 |
| daftykins | i still don't think the subscription model makes sense for most | 10:56 |
| MooDoo | daftykins: just cancelled mine. | 10:57 |
| daftykins | for example £150 home and business 2016; vs. £7/user/month | 10:59 |
| daftykins | plus i bet that's inclusive of tax | 10:59 |
| daftykins | or you can get a code/download off amazon UK for £44.52 including tax | 11:00 |
| MooDoo | daftykins: ? office 2016? | 11:01 |
| daftykins | 365 personal for 1 user for 1 year, that is | 11:01 |
| daftykins | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Office-365-Personal-Subscription/dp/B00GLOMNNQ/ | 11:01 |
| daftykins | so yeah, that'd give both 2013 and 2016 download access | 11:01 |
| MooDoo | yes just seen it | 11:02 |
| MooDoo | mine is the 5 user one, so all my family can use it | 11:02 |
| daftykins | yep | 11:02 |
| daftykins | this is for someone who i ordered this surface pro 4 for, who doesn't have a family yet :> | 11:02 |
| MooDoo | there is only one computer in our house at the moment too lol | 11:03 |
| daftykins | O_O | 11:03 |
| MooDoo | until we get our extension and I get an office back :) | 11:04 |
| daftykins | drat, the sun coming through the window is showing me just how dusty my screens are :( | 11:05 |
| daftykins | time to ban the cat from the room i think | 11:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | the battle begins... :-) | 11:08 |
| * awilkins has an Office365 sub for business reasons, his employer pays for it | 11:34 | |
| MooDoo | awilkins: nice | 11:36 |
| awilkins | Yeah, the downside is people expect you to use it to make Word documents and write Excel macros, bah. | 11:37 |
| daftykins | ugh | 11:38 |
| MooDoo | tell me about it, although we're on an older version at work :) | 11:38 |
| awilkins | Nastiest VBA project I ever worked on was a modelling tool made of Visio, VB6 DLLs, and VBA. | 11:38 |
| awilkins | The main developer had the lovely habit of putting "On Error Resume Next" at the top of every routine | 11:39 |
| awilkins | Which meant that it just silently swallowed all errors and careened onward not giving a whit | 11:40 |
| * awilkins ripped out all that and put in proper stack-tracing error handling | 11:40 | |
| MooDoo | I'm just getting my head around progress abl at the moment :D | 11:40 |
| awilkins | Doesn't help that some of the stock VBA classes need errors to work with them | 11:40 |
| awilkins | Like VBA.Collection | 11:40 |
| awilkins | Which has no .Exists() method | 11:41 |
| awilkins | You just call .Item(thing) and catch the error that it throws when it doesn't have .Item(thing) | 11:41 |

| davmor2 | Myrtti: candygram for mongo, candygram for mongo....works here :) | 14:28 |
| diddledan_ | mongo like candy | 14:29 |
| davmor2 | mongo only pawn in game of life | 14:30 |
| awilkins | Mongo is web scale | 14:39 |
| awilkins | But not as fast as /dev/null, him told | 14:40 |
| daftykins | those statements are made all the more apt by the existence of a friends dog, named Mongo | 14:41 |
| SuperMatt | I don't know what webscale is supposed to mean :'( | 14:52 |
| daftykins | i think it involves spiders | 14:53 |
| diddledan_ | SuperMatt: it means that it can do something. on a machine. | 14:53 |
| diddledan_ | I've got a web scale raspberry pi | 14:53 |
| pwaring | It will stay up if you get slashdotted | 14:53 |
| diddledan_ | it's a model B (first gen) | 14:53 |
| pwaring | Or whatever the hip version of slashdot is nowadays | 14:54 |
| diddledan_ | pwaring: surely that would be "slashdot proof" | 14:54 |
| diddledan_ | web scale as a term says nothing about slashdot | 14:55 |
| diddledan_ | it's like leveraging. just a marketing term that managers think they understand but actually means nothing | 14:55 |
| diddledan_ | and synergies | 14:56 |
| diddledan_ | "product X leverages it's synergies to guarantee web scale" | 14:56 |
| awilkins | Damn, yours too? | 14:56 |
| * awilkins gets on to marketing to write some new copy | 14:57 | |
| diddledan_ | marketing is effectively buzzword bingo | 14:57 |
| awilkins | I thought we had a USP! | 14:57 |
| diddledan_ | omg, I want a USP! | 14:57 |
| diddledan_ | our KPIs are good this month I hear | 14:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | careful now, my bollockometer just went to 10 | 14:59 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: ours goes up to 11 | 15:00 |
| diddledan_ | it's 1 faster | 15:00 |
| pwaring | diddledan_: I hope you put in 110% to meet your KPIs | 15:00 |
| diddledan_ | ofc | 15:01 |
| diddledan_ | I always put in 110% | 15:01 |
| diddledan_ | I feel anything less than 110% isn't worth trying | 15:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | except on feb 29 when you put in an extra 10% | 15:01 |
| pwaring | This reminds of the laughs we used to have reading out loud and 'translating' memos from University manglement | 15:01 |
| diddledan_ | manglement :-p | 15:02 |
| pwaring | Well they certainly don't manage | 15:02 |

| diddledan_ | aha, there we go | 17:11 |
| davmor2 | diddledan_: I see you misplet KIPS earlier but don't worry we knew what you meant ;) | 17:43 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| diddledan_ | KIPS? | 18:07 |
| diddledan_ | KPIs as in plural of KPI. | 18:07 |

| ali1234 | hmm... what happened to optical disc support in linux? | 21:09 |
| ali1234 | i haven't used it in years... now i try and it's all over the place | 21:09 |
| ali1234 | disc doesn't auto mount when you put it in | 21:09 |
| ali1234 | then i mounted it manually only to find the mount point completely empty | 21:10 |
| ali1234 | then when i tried to unmount it it said it wasn't mounted | 21:10 |
| ali1234 | then it refused to mount it again because it's already mounted | 21:10 |
| ali1234 | so i tried to dd the disc to an iso and mount that | 21:10 |
| ali1234 | but now it think every disc i put in is the exact same size | 21:10 |
| diddledan_ | works fine afaict | 21:25 |
| diddledan_ | ubuntu mounts optical discs under /media | 21:26 |
| diddledan_ | /media/<username>/<volume name> I believe | 21:27 |
