[00:00] <diddledan_> interesting: http://www.geek.com/news/scientists-confirm-origin-of-stonehenge-bluestones-1641412/
[00:06]  * zmoylan-pi awaits the announcement of the formation of the return stonehenge now group... :-)
[00:09] <zmoylan-pi> speaking of stones... ::puts on fifth element::
[00:11] <daftykins> multi pass.
[00:12] <zmoylan-pi> leeloo dallas... multi... pass...
[05:57] <mapps> hello
[06:25] <diddledan> mornin
[07:43] <diddledan> yey WerdPress
[07:43]  * diddledan just finished updating one of my plugins: https://travis-ci.org/diddledan/wp-a-z-listing
[07:44] <diddledan> err, https://wordpress.org/plugins/a-z-listing/ (the travis link is interesting, still, but doesn't tell you what it does)
[07:48] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[07:49] <diddledan> morning
[07:50] <brobostigon> morning diddledan
[08:10] <MooDoo> morning all
[08:11] <diddledan> m00
[08:12] <MooDoo> :)
[08:31] <DJones> Hmmh, after a week using Win 10 in work,  its actually quite user friendly and unobtrusive in day to day use
[08:34]  * zmoylan-pi schedules DJones for deprogramming... :-P
[09:11] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:29] <MooDoo> morning davmor2
[09:31] <davmor2> MooDoo: me awld mucka, 'ow bin ya?
[09:42] <MooDoo> davmor2: crackin lad, waiting for 12, half day today ;)
[09:43] <davmor2> MooDoo: \o/ woohoo
[09:51] <MooDoo> davmor2: yeah going to see laddo in his nativity this afternoon
[09:55] <davmor2> MooDoo: so you lied when you said half day, what you meant was, Half a day of freedom then half a day of torture ;) Not yours obvious it's the other out of tune kids that ruin it :D
[10:06] <MooDoo> lol
[10:13] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day! 😃
[10:14] <bittin_US> JamesTait: i feel like a timetravler :p
[10:14] <bittin_US> went from Sweden -> US
[10:14] <bittin_US> timezone differences and stuff
[10:17] <awilkins> Where I come from, Pretend To Be  A Time Traveller Day is regarded as an archaic but amusing event!
[10:20] <JamesTait> awilkins, where you come from, or *when* you come from?
[10:20] <JamesTait> bittin_US, my sympathies, I've been there many times.
[10:21] <awilkins> The Temporal Prime Directive (rather ironically named from an old documentary reel) prevents me from revealing that there is, in fact, a Temporal Prime Directive.
[10:21] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adk1ujjmguo easy
[10:23] <awilkins> Happily the predestination paradox schroedingloop that this willant noncause will prevent any major ripples from emerging. And after all, this is an IRC channel - who actually reads these things!
[10:24] <SuperEngineer> errrmmm.... everybody in Durham, Durham. Durham, Durham reads this?
[10:26] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:26] <awilkins> I'm talking about participants in significant causality nexuses. Durham is <redacted> in a few years anyway.
[10:28] <SuperEngineer> awilkins, only in your [unstable] paradox does it get redacted.
[10:30] <davmor2> JamesTait: we can have this too as they time travelled enough times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE
[10:32]  * SuperEngineer wonders about phrase: "time travelled enough times"
[10:33] <SuperEngineer> wot. no dimensions?  ;-)
[10:38] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p3A_tt8ERU
[10:59] <JamesTait> davmor2, I like it. 😃
[12:00] <diddledan> hopefully php7 has been released early enough in the xenial cycle that it'll be included in the LTS
[12:51] <jpds> diddledan: Or just stop using PHP
[13:13] <daftykins> afternoon all o/
[14:45] <daftykins> just called up a guy who's done home cinema installs etc for someone i know, helped me out with a few things... as i'd seen a clients' sky box often needs rebooting once a week minimum
[14:45] <daftykins> anything to be done? nope they're just that rubbish now apparently.
[14:48] <zmoylan-pi> get a timer plug to switch it off once a week at 3am in the morning :-)
[14:50] <directhex> clearly the problem is IT MUST BE OVERCLOCKED
[14:50] <zmoylan-pi> put a heat sink on it.  with massive fins
[14:50] <directhex> water.
[14:50] <directhex> 3x120mm rad
[14:51] <zmoylan-pi> frozen vodka... someone doing that got a zilog z80 up to silly speeds iirc
[14:51] <Myrtti> baby oil
[14:51] <Myrtti> squeezed from freshly harvested babies
[15:25] <SuperEngineer> Myrtti, why use squeezed ones?  Roast them & collect oil from from baking tray [plus you get a free meal]
[15:29] <Myrtti> SuperEngineer: that's the second phase
[15:29] <Myrtti> extra virgin virgin oil is always cold pressed
[15:30] <Myrtti> the dregs are collected from the baking tray
[15:32] <zmoylan-pi> the dregs with yummy crunchy bits in it...
[15:34]  * SuperEngineer has suddenly gone off roast baby
[15:35] <SuperEngineer> [should've used some garlic & black pepper, I guess]
[15:38] <Myrtti> baste it with butter
[15:41] <SuperEngineer> but that would spoil the baby oil collecting in the roasting dish!
[15:42] <SuperEngineer> ...& would clog up the cooling system
[15:44] <Myrtti> true
[15:54]  * SuperMatt steps in to the channel, reads the last 5 lines and start mashing the 9 button on his mobile
[15:57] <Myrtti> I just find the product name funny.
[15:57] <Myrtti> it has to be made of babies, just like canola oil and olive oil is
[16:09] <SuperEngineer> & they must be babies up to a certain age only
[16:10] <SuperEngineer> otherwise the oil becomes "a bit pongy" if not changed regularily
[16:11] <SuperEngineer> [& now he's definitely hitting the "9" key!]
[16:13] <Myrtti> it's starting to hit my nausea trigger point, too...
[16:15]  * SuperEngineer changes subject to reasting kittens
[16:15] <SuperEngineer> although well known not to be so good at producing oil ;)
[16:16] <Myrtti> actually
[16:17] <Myrtti> there was a rumour in the early days of margarine in Finland where did all the barn cats and strays disappear...
[16:17] <SuperEngineer> whoops!
[16:17] <Myrtti> and it was actually true, too
[16:17] <SuperEngineer> yuk!
[16:20] <SuperEngineer> Were "e" numbers used to disguise the dact?
[16:20] <SuperEngineer> *fact
[16:23] <Myrtti> ungh
[16:23] <Myrtti> I think it was a bit early days for any e numbers
[16:32] <popey> So, might as well put my FirefoxOS phone in the bin, looks like mozilla are killing it off.
[16:33] <daftykins> crikey, can't get anything else on there?
[16:33] <popey> no, i mean the current build works
[16:33] <popey> but dunno what future it has
[16:36] <daftykins> yeah but other OSs once it's definitely dead
[17:53] <davmor2> popey: ouch so ditching ffos and thunderbird so they are just going to do a browser that uses chrome plugins why not use chrome then
[17:53] <popey> well, FFOS will be reborn as an IoT platform it seems.
[19:17] <popey> http://techcrunch.com/2015/12/08/mozilla-will-stop-developing-and-selling-firefox-os-smartphones/
[19:19] <zmoylan-pi> qi was so looking forward to trying one of those...
[19:19] <zmoylan-pi> *i was
[19:19] <daftykins> i don't think we needed another mobile OS
[19:19] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: you could buy popey 's
[19:19] <zmoylan-pi> i think we do. a proper linux os
[19:20] <popey> people said that when blackberry and symbian were leaders
[19:20] <zmoylan-pi> no android java vm, no ios locked down tighter than ducks arse, no windows phone os silliness
[19:20] <daftykins> i doubt it would've amounted to anything
[19:21] <zmoylan-pi> needed more now than ever
[19:22] <daftykins> maybe with all these cutbacks Mozilla can stop screwing up Firefox so much \o/
[19:23] <zmoylan-pi> no no, now they can focus all their resources ON screwing up firefox...
[19:23] <daftykins> :)
[19:24] <popey> They're moving over to IoT
[19:25] <daftykins> i'm not sure what that means in actuality :D
[19:27] <zmoylan-pi> new ways to make old tech insecure :-)
[19:28] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: harsh dude
[19:29]  * zmoylan-pi waits for the local script kiddies to have davmor2's lights turning on and off at random at 2am :-)
[19:30] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: my devices would be powered by ubuntu so that won't happen :P
[19:30] <daftykins> haha
[19:31] <daftykins> plenty of folks spilling into #ubuntu are 'powered by ubuntu' but on lovely EOL releases ;)
[19:32] <popey> i found a laptop here that had a proper crusty old version on it
[19:32] <daftykins> :D
[19:33] <daftykins> that's fair when it's actively used, but how these folk get by with things like 13.10 still running
[19:33] <daftykins> err, not actively used.
[19:33] <davmor2> popey: 4.10?
[19:33] <daftykins> they even say "yeah i haven't been prompted for updates for ages!"
[19:54] <popey> I had one with 9.04 on it
[19:58]  * daftykins wonders if that was jaunty
[19:58] <daftykins> !9.04
[19:58] <lubotu3`> Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.
[19:58] <daftykins> yessss \o/
[20:02] <MartijnVdS> that's a while ago already
[20:14] <daftykins> time is way too scary
[20:14] <diddledan> it's all that timey wimey stuff
[20:14] <daftykins> ikr
[20:14] <diddledan> the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff
[22:50] <diddledan> news headline about donald trump: https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/674358927996403712
[22:50] <diddledan> or rather that's a quote from theoretical donald
[23:02] <diddledan> rowan atkinson at his best: https://youtu.be/umRRCkspaQU
[23:06] <daftykins> o0
[23:09] <daftykins> nah he's far better elsewhere :P
[23:10] <zmoylan-pi> as the gorilla gerald in not the nine o'clock news...
[23:12] <daftykins> time for bed i think
[23:13] <daftykins> nn all \o
[23:14] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[23:16] <diddledan> :-o
