JamesTaitdavmor2, according to the page on t'internet, it's the stone bits that it refers to - but Bill Haley & His Comets covers both, right?10:09
davmor2JamesTait: oh sorry old rock from the stones you wanted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YszyvXlCD2g10:11
davmor2That definitely covers both there can't be any rocks older than Keith Richards face right10:14

czajkowskibigcalm: did you tell them to leave it at a neighbour12:58
czajkowskiI was under the impression that's only done wiht the likes of DPD an dmaybe royal mail12:59

czajkowskiJon had stuff being delivered today but only as I'm at home or else he'd have changed it13:08
SuperMattI would personally do that for my neighbours13:11
SuperMattmostly because I hate having to get parcels from the post office or arrange a new delivery13:11
czajkowskiwe do the same around here also, but usually only if pre arranged13:11

Seeker`popey: how much haribo did you consume?14:04
popeyMore than I should.14:08
* Seeker` imagines popey sitting on a mountin of haribo bags14:13
* davmor2 buys a locked cabinet and gives the primary keys to Mrs Pope and the secondary lock keys to Master and Miss Pope to keep the Haribo safe while they are out14:16
popeyThis laptop came with OpenOffice 4.1.2 installed14:17
popeyDon't think I've seen OOo for years14:17
davmor2popey: don't just change the topic like that to tech talk to get out of being ashamed of eating all the haribo and ruining the lives of the poor children who are now haribo less14:20
Seeker`those poor children :(14:20
davmor2popey: out of interest what laptop is it and is it windows based with ooo on it14:24

bigcalmYou're having a fun day14:47
moreatiJust found this bug, whilst poking 15.04. I find it highly amusing :) 1. Play audio through a displayport monitor 2. Using alsamixer mute the 1st S/PDIF channel. Result: audio mutes and the monitor goes blank, unmuting fixes it15:02
bigcalmAmusing15:03
foobarrymy work laptop failed to update15:13
foobarryunknown error15:13
diddledan_lol15:33
diddledan_that's a fun bug15:33
diddledan_could be a great april fool joke15:34
moreatiIt might be specific to this monitor model or to DisplayPort. I couldn't reproduce it with an HDMI TV through a DP->HDMI adaptor, or the laptop's own HDMI15:41
SuperMatthttps://imgur.com/gallery/WESamuu16:10
diddledan_I don't get it16:12
foobarryput your finger on the progress bar16:12
foobarryto see if its moving16:12
diddledan_oh. no, I've never done that.16:13
foobarrybecause we have mouse pointers16:27
popeyi have16:35
diddledan_popey: weirdo :-p16:38
popeyalso done the puttint the mouse on screen too16:38
diddledan_the easiest way to see if it's doing something is to open a process monitor (on windows that'ld be taskman.exe, on a linuxy thing top or htop or simular)16:39

daftykinsi'm not sure what you're implying20:19
sebsebsebI was kind of joking :)20:19
daftykinsyeah, just comes across quite dickish though20:21
sebsebsebever been to a open source event saying that?20:21
daftykinsthat's a really stupid question20:21
daftykinswould that be an obscure hobby, to attend things then denounce them?20:22
popeyyour sense of humour seems broken this evening daftykins20:23
popeysebsebseb, yeah, I'm considering going, not sure yet20:24
sebsebsebpopey: did you go last year 2015?20:24
sebsebsebI think you did20:24

sebsebsebpopey: may as well do FOSDEM again if they are going to fund  you to go :d20:28
sebsebsebboth I mean20:28
popeyDon't think they're funding me this time20:28
popeyWill find my own way20:28

diddledan_yey, ubuntu works with my datacolor spyder out-of-the-box \o/22:04
diddledan_one good xmas prezzie!22:04
diddledan_sneakily ubuntu does a much more thorough calibration than the official software allows on osx22:05
MyrttiI've been meaning to get a Colorhug but I can't justify it for anything22:06
diddledan_the improvement over uncalibrated is immense22:06
diddledan_Myrtti: I was gonna get one of those but I decided to go for the more expensive option :-p22:06
