[06:24] <mapps> hi all;D
[06:28] <zmoylan-pi> it's monday, happiness is banned...
[06:32] <mapps> oh
[06:32] <mapps> im about to watch homeland
[06:32] <mapps> that makes me happy
[09:02] <_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?
[09:13] <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
[09:16] <davmor2> _shaun_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18698/printing-a-poster-over-several-sheets-of-paper
[09:18] <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
[09:20] <czajkowski> aloha
[09:33] <_shaun_> thanks guys id like to find something native to ubuntu but ill look at the tools use describe
[09:36] <foobarry> irssi has 2 windows open for a chan. if i /wc it closes both. any ideas?
[09:39] <pwaring> Perhaps /wc is aliases to /leave?
[09:45] <MooDoo> morning all
[10:09] <davmor2> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPdYYsEfAE crying my ribs hurt so much
[10:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:15] <davmor2> I love my morning scan of the video scope on the ubuntu phone :)
[10:16]  * brobostigon wants to get his hands on the pebble compatibility.
[10:19] <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.
[10:25] <daftykins> seriously? what kind of mobile devices?
[10:26] <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
[10:47] <zmoylan-pi> nearly 11am and still dark enough to need a light on...
[10:48] <MooDoo> and you'll still see cars without lights on
[10:51] <foobarry> tarmac/sky coloured cars
[10:53] <daftykins> hmm, time to update myself on the dreaded MS Office costs o0
[10:54] <zmoylan-pi> kidney for the software and your sanity for the usage... :-)
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <MooDoo> daftykins: just cancelled mine.
[10:59] <daftykins> for example £150 home and business 2016; vs. £7/user/month
[10:59] <daftykins> plus i bet that's inclusive of tax
[11:00] <daftykins> or you can get a code/download off amazon UK for £44.52 including tax
[11:01] <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
[11:02] <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 :>
[11:03] <MooDoo> there is only one computer in our house at the moment too lol
[11:03] <daftykins> O_O
[11:04] <MooDoo> until we get our extension and I get an office back :)
[11:05] <daftykins> drat, the sun coming through the window is showing me just how dusty my screens are :(
[11:07] <daftykins> time to ban the cat from the room i think
[11:08] <zmoylan-pi> the battle begins... :-)
[11:34]  * awilkins has an Office365 sub for business reasons, his employer pays for it
[11:36] <MooDoo> awilkins: nice
[11:37] <awilkins> Yeah, the downside is people expect you to use it to make Word documents and write Excel macros, bah.
[11:38] <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.
[11:39] <awilkins> The main developer had the lovely habit of putting "On Error Resume Next" at the top of every routine
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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)
[11:58] <davmor2> JamesTait: a song to help you write letters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrIqSlt9PXg
[14:06] <Myrtti> is it just me, or does candyhero.com not work?
[14:07] <ManniQuin> you
[14:08] <ManniQuin> omg!! they do jazzies
[14:08] <Myrtti> https://candyhero.com/fazer-marianne-chocolate-filled-mints ;____;
[14:08] <Myrtti> nuuuuuuuuu Out of stoooockkkk https://candyhero.com/fazer-wiener-nougat-210g
[14:09] <ManniQuin> yeah choco jazzles are always out of stock!
[14:10] <ManniQuin> is it a uk based site? where is all the sweets coming from?
[14:10] <ManniQuin> are*
[14:11] <ManniQuin> ahh they have shops in Leeds, Bradford and york..hmm never heard of them before
[14:28] <davmor2> Myrtti: candygram for mongo, candygram for mongo....works here :)
[14:29] <diddledan_> mongo like candy
[14:30] <davmor2> mongo only pawn in game of life
[14:39] <awilkins> Mongo is web scale
[14:40] <awilkins> But not as fast as /dev/null, him told
[14:41] <daftykins> those statements are made all the more apt by the existence of a friends dog, named Mongo
[14:52] <SuperMatt> I don't know what webscale is supposed to mean :'(
[14:53] <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)
[14:54] <pwaring> Or whatever the hip version of slashdot is nowadays
[14:54] <diddledan_> pwaring: surely that would be "slashdot proof"
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <diddledan_> and synergies
[14:56] <diddledan_> "product X leverages it's synergies to guarantee web scale"
[14:56] <awilkins> Damn, yours too?
[14:57]  * 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!
[14:58] <diddledan_> our KPIs are good this month I hear
[14:59] <zmoylan-pi> careful now, my bollockometer just went to 10
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <diddledan_> manglement :-p
[15:02] <pwaring> Well they certainly don't manage
[15:03] <daftykins> :D
[17:04] <diddledan_> hmm, I appear to be unable to get to wordpress.tv
[17:09] <daftykins> ok here, sir
[17:11] <diddledan_> aha, there we go
[17:43] <davmor2> diddledan_: I see you misplet KIPS earlier but don't worry we knew what you meant ;)
[18:07] <diddledan_> KIPS?
[18:07] <diddledan_> KPIs as in plural of KPI.
[18:54] <davmor2> diddledan_: you can't fool me, you misspelt Kips as in naps you are up to 110% kips I can thoroughly believe ;)
[19:22] <knightwise> Evening guys
[19:22] <daftykins> o/
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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
[21:25] <diddledan_> works fine afaict
[21:26] <diddledan_> ubuntu mounts optical discs under /media
[21:27] <diddledan_> /media/<username>/<volume name> I believe
