DJones | Aww, David Bowie has passed away | 07:51 |
---|---|---|
daftykins | mmm | 07:52 |
daftykins | surprising | 07:52 |
DJones | Yeah, battling cancer for 18 months according to new reports | 07:52 |
DJones | I guess not the sort of thing somebody in the public eye would normally speak about | 07:53 |
knightwise | Good morning everyone | 07:53 |
daftykins | gm o/ | 07:53 |
DJones | Morning knightwise | 07:54 |
daftykins | hrmm solid rain planned for the day... that makes it harder to be motivated to do much :) | 08:00 |
DJones | I think I'd rather have rain and a bit of warmth, rather than just cold temperatures, saying that, I'm indoors all day, so doesn't make much difference, looks like we get the rain tomorrow | 08:02 |
daftykins | it's doing a threatening sort of swirl - http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ | 08:03 |
knightwise | Its getting chilly here :ร | 08:04 |
knightwise | looking forward to some winter, hold off on the snow Since I need to drive | 08:05 |
DJones | First time ages I've had to deice the cars this morning | 08:05 |
daftykins | i need to visit an electrical supplier and then ride on to a clients to get a phone socket working, blech :) | 08:06 |
daftykins | hmm though i normally loathe forever speaking of the wars, there are some interesting snaps in this one - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-34544925 | 08:08 |
knightwise | God .. the media will be bowie-dized for days | 08:11 |
daftykins | a better fate than the star wars hype :P | 08:12 |
knightwise | Haven't had time to go see the move yet | 08:14 |
knightwise | Still suffering from my "JJ-abrams reboot psychosis" | 08:15 |
knightwise | Looking at what he did to the star trek franchise , i look fearfully upon the white screen | 08:15 |
DJones | After the recent deaths from the music world, Lemmy, Bowie, Bradbury, Weiland, Taylor etc, there's be one hell of a supergroup in the heavens now | 08:16 |

davmor2 | JamesTait: I take it that must be my name in morse right? | 10:20 |
diplo | Morning all, we've been having issues with time on our servers so I'm going through setting up ntpd on our customer sites, question though as my google foo is sucking | 11:35 |
diplo | Our documents are timed, I can't see how often ntpd daemon keeps up to date, just a little worried about the sync being out by minutes and then sorting itself and a credit goes through say before an invoice is created. | 11:36 |
bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 11:41 |
daftykins | hey bigcalm \o | 11:41 |
daftykins | another dead disk identified, oy. | 11:47 |
zmoylan-pi | remove it and hammer it in front of all the other disks as a warning... :-) | 11:47 |
davmor2 | daftykins: is it named Bowie they all seem to die on the days stars do | 11:48 |
daftykins | too soon! | 11:49 |
Myrtti | deffo too soon | 11:51 |
zmoylan-pi | he may be gone but the music he left... | 11:53 |
davmor2 | daftykins: nothing person by it, was more meaning that I'm pretty sure you disks seem to die around the same time as a Star (mind you we lost a lot in the last 12 months) | 11:54 |
daftykins | it's ok, it's just a user in #ubuntu ;) | 11:54 |
daftykins | one that it took many, many tries to run a couple of commands :/ | 11:54 |
davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: Indeed and it is wonderful Music too :) | 11:55 |
daftykins | diplo: did you run it by the #ubuntu-server folks? sorry no experience with ntpd | 12:00 |
diplo | I think I've worked it out daftykins | 12:20 |
daftykins | \o/ | 12:20 |
diplo | Uses min/maxpoll, over a few days it works out how often it needs to update, between 63 seconds and 1024 seconds depending on the machine | 12:20 |
diplo | You can hard code it but advice is not to | 12:20 |
daftykins | i had heard installing it will only slowly begin to adjust toward the intended time, in increments | 12:21 |
diplo | Ah, I've fixed each site to be correct before setting it up | 12:21 |
daftykins | sounds good :) | 12:21 |
diplo | Only hoping it keeps it on time, will inspect each site that I've already done and see how they are fairing before doing more :) | 12:22 |
diddledan | davmor2: the second of those songs was well timed considering the news of David Bowie's passing :-( | 13:57 |
diddledan | http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35278872 | 13:57 |
* diddledan listens to life on mars | 13:58 | |
* zmoylan-pi wonders how high his music goes in the charts in next few weeks | 13:58 | |
davmor2 | there is a new album out isn't there so possibly number 1 | 14:09 |
daftykins | yeah | 14:09 |
davmor2 | I would imagine if they re-release ashes to ashes, space oddity and red shoes they would get 123 in the single charts | 14:10 |
knightwise | Just installed FireSSH in Firefox. | 14:27 |
knightwise | pleasantly surprised | 14:27 |
knightwise | looks like putty ,feels like putty | 14:34 |
knightwise | isnt putty | 14:34 |
daftykins | does it do URL parsing so you can click links? | 14:34 |
daftykins | i guess it *is* in a browser XD | 14:34 |
diddledan | I get putty and lube confused. | 14:34 |
diddledan | all my windows keep falling out | 14:34 |
SuperMatt | badum *CRASH* | 14:35 |
daftykins | amusing story last night that skylake CPUs have a bug which gets tripped by prime95, the intensive prime number program - causing a full freeze | 14:36 |
daftykins | BIOS updates will be on the way :) | 14:36 |
knightwise | daftykins: it should | 14:37 |
knightwise | but it doenst refresh the screen well | 14:37 |
knightwise | Hence: Switched to SecureShell in chrome | 14:37 |
diddledan | yeesh, is it a bug in the cpu itself? | 14:38 |
diddledan | that will be a pain to fix properly | 14:38 |
daftykins | that's what microcode updates are for :) | 14:38 |
daftykins | there wasn't much detail in theregister's article | 14:39 |
SuperMatt | question: why is ssh in a browser window preferable to an actual terminal window? | 14:54 |
davmor2 | You remind me of the babe | 14:55 |
diddledan | what babe? | 14:55 |
bittin- | this bae | 14:56 |
bittin- | :p | 14:56 |
diddledan | ruined it | 14:56 |
diddledan | davmor2: try again | 14:56 |
* SuperMatt throws his hands up in the air in exasperation | 14:56 | |
* diddledan tuts | 14:56 | |
SuperMatt | you remind me of the babe. what babe? the babe with the power. what power? the power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe | 14:57 |
SuperMatt | there, we've got it all | 14:57 |
diddledan | https://youtu.be/K7cFXSDN_5k | 14:57 |
SuperMatt | and I don't know why I started adding caps in the middle | 14:57 |
davmor2 | You remind me of the Babe | 14:58 |
SuperMatt | What babe? | 14:58 |
davmor2 | babae with the power | 14:58 |
davmor2 | -a | 14:58 |
SuperMatt | What Power | 14:58 |
davmor2 | power of voodoo | 14:58 |
SuperMatt | Who do? | 14:58 |
davmor2 | you do | 14:58 |
SuperMatt | Do what? | 14:59 |
davmor2 | remind me of the babe | 14:59 |
diddledan | \o/ | 14:59 |
davmor2 | \o/ thanks SuperMatt | 14:59 |
SuperMatt | you're welcome | 14:59 |
diddledan | gotta love collaborative singing | 14:59 |
* SuperMatt nods | 15:00 | |
* SuperMatt is dying for a little nap | 15:00 | |
diddledan | mmm, snoozing ftw | 15:00 |
SuperMatt | I just wanna be back at the flat with the cat | 15:01 |
diddledan | kittie! | 15:01 |
diddledan | I want a kittie | 15:01 |
MooDoo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsQAXx_ao0 | 15:01 |
SuperMatt | diddledan: we adopted a 14 year old with dietry issues, and he's just such a lovely chap | 15:03 |
diddledan | awww | 15:03 |
* diddledan cuddles | 15:03 | |
SuperMatt | https://goo.gl/photos/XAjrWrRKFsfWp4cYA | 15:03 |
diddledan | soo cute with his lil teddy bear! | 15:03 |
SuperMatt | https://goo.gl/photos/pjGvNHhF4iEasDW17 - here he is playing "The floor is lava" which I try to fix some ikea drawers for more stability | 15:04 |
SuperMatt | *while | 15:05 |
diddledan | I read a while back that geeky/engineering types prefer cats over dogs | 15:05 |
SuperMatt | I prefer dogs because they're more intelligent in my eyes, but the cat is low maintenance, and it's what the girl wanted | 15:06 |
diddledan | based on my sample of me, I can state that the belief is 100% accurate | 15:06 |
SuperMatt | very good science, well done | 15:06 |
diddledan | I do like dogs, too, though, just prefer the company of a kittie :-) | 15:07 |
popey | Trying to convince wife we should get a dogy | 15:11 |
popey | but she's not having any of it | 15:11 |
diddledan | popey: convince the kids then the wife has to capitulate under the weight of democracy :-p | 15:12 |
Myrtti | popey: why not? hair and dust? | 15:12 |
popey | poo | 15:12 |
Myrtti | pft. | 15:12 |
diddledan | poopey :-p | 15:12 |
Myrtti | I'd want a Finnish lapphund but I think it'll have to wait a bit longer | 15:13 |
Myrtti | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdcTHQ6OQHk | 15:16 |
SuperMatt | popey: if the missus can change a nappy, she can pick up after a dog! | 15:18 |
SuperMatt | In fact, it's often less messy | 15:18 |
popey | yeah, we're both capable of doing it | 15:18 |
popey | changing a nappy is a matter of necessity | 15:19 |
Myrtti | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dyson-Cinetic-DC54-i-Brand-New-5-year-Dyson-guarantee-/111821945687 โฅ | 15:19 |
Myrtti | or rather, I love this even more than the vacuum itself http://www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/accessories/pet-hair/tangle-free-turbine-tool.aspx | 15:20 |
foobarry | "pet hair" | 15:29 |
foobarry | my wifes hair is what tangles it | 15:30 |
foobarry | dog hair is tiny | 15:30 |
ujjain | do most mortgage providers allow overpayment or not? | 15:31 |
foobarry | hard to generalise, need to check per mortgage i expect | 15:31 |
Myrtti | foobarry: yes, and my yarn. | 15:31 |
foobarry | and dental floss | 15:31 |
Myrtti | yarn and human hair were our reasons to get it | 15:31 |
foobarry | if it doesn't go in the bin completely, it wanders out | 15:31 |
foobarry | my wife has been dying her yarns lately too | 15:32 |
foobarry | she has borrowed a drum carder | 15:32 |
foobarry | so is getting fleeces, washing, drumming , dyeing, spinning | 15:32 |
popey | ujjain, yes AIUI | 15:36 |
ujjain | right, I might have a look on buying a first house. | 15:36 |
diddledan | remember popey INAL | 15:37 |
moreati | Sanity check: Ubuntu 15.10 users, when you change volume with multimedia keyboard keys, does anything appear on the screen? | 15:37 |
diddledan | yes | 15:38 |
SuperMatt | ujjain: basically it all depends on what your provider allows. Some will allow you to over pay, but won't let you miss a payment even if you've over paid 11 out of 12 months, others just won't let you over pay at all | 15:38 |
moreati | right, I did break something then. ty diddledan | 15:38 |
ujjain | right, I'll write this on my checklist, find a provider that'll allow it. | 15:38 |
SuperMatt | and you definitely cannot under pay on a mortgage | 15:38 |
ujjain | eh, hehe, right. | 15:38 |
SuperMatt | ujjain: if it's your first buy, you'll find the number of providers is veeeeeeeeeeery slim | 15:38 |
diddledan | moreati: specifically a progress-bar-like indicator on the top-right of the screen telling you the current volume level | 15:38 |
ujjain | I have a good salary though and I don't need an expensive house. | 15:39 |
SuperMatt | ujjain: that's what I thought, though I am in london meaning I have to jump through more hoops that most | 15:41 |
diddledan | moreati: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t4zzz02q1r5bnpr/Screenshot%20from%202016-01-11%2015-41-23.png?dl=0 | 15:43 |
foobarry | all houses are expensive in london | 15:43 |
foobarry | one of my mortgages wouldn't let me overpay within first 3 years | 15:43 |
SuperMatt | tell me about it | 15:45 |
SuperMatt | my two bed flat is twice the price of my borther's two up two down | 15:45 |
SuperMatt | *brother | 15:45 |
SuperMatt | but he now has a child to worry about, and I'm sitting pretty with my kitty | 15:46 |
ujjain | I'm in London too | 15:52 |
ujjain | I don't really necessarily want to overpay right now, but if interest rises to e.g. 6% | 15:53 |
ujjain | I'd like the option to overpay | 15:53 |
ujjain | 2% or 6% on 500k, first affordable, second one deadly | 15:55 |
popey | holy cow, this year I'll have lived in this house 15 years! | 15:59 |
diddledan | bovine deity! | 16:00 |
ujjain | congrats! :) | 16:02 |
foobarry | is that also the length of your marriage? | 16:02 |
foobarry | so far | 16:02 |
* zmoylan-pi wonders if popey's residence is ipv4 or ipv6 :-) | 16:09 | |
popey | no, 16 years | 16:10 |
popey | married in 2000 so I could easily remember how many years I've been wed | 16:10 |
bigcalm | popey: is it the way I have configured my phone, or does the PlusOne X have a pants battery life? | 16:11 |
popey | '97 met, '98 rented together, '99 engaged, '00 house, '01-02 nuffink, '03 first child :) | 16:11 |
popey | bigcalm, define pants? | 16:11 |
popey | i dunno mine is often plugged in | 16:11 |
popey | and i never leave the house | 16:11 |
bigcalm | popey: 100% charge this morning. 25% charge now | 16:11 |
popey | i often turn on android power saving | 16:12 |
bigcalm | I did drive to work today, so was without wifi for about an hour | 16:12 |
popey | i have bluetooth on all the time mostly, for pebble | 16:12 |
bigcalm | Do you have the gestures enabled? | 16:12 |
popey | yes | 16:12 |
popey | circle and v? | 16:12 |
bigcalm | I have bt on for my wrist band thing | 16:12 |
bigcalm | popey: yes o and v | 16:12 |
bigcalm | Maybe it's because I've only just got the phone and thus playing with it more | 16:12 |
popey | battery thing says 88% approx 21 hrs left | 16:13 |
popey | i turned off some animations and stuff | 16:13 |
ujjain | you can't rent out your own home if you have a mortgage, right? | 16:13 |
popey | http://imgur.com/nZIZtL5 | 16:13 |
popey | depends on the mortgage | 16:14 |
ujjain | for me '14, didn't know eachother '15 met, '15 she got kicked out of the country, | 16:14 |
popey | erk | 16:14 |
bigcalm | http://imgur.com/IwfzkAe | 16:16 |
bigcalm | Seems it wasn't 100% this morning but last night. Even so | 16:17 |
popey | lots of screen on time | 16:17 |
popey | so yeah, you're probably playing with it more than me | 16:17 |
bigcalm | Aye | 16:18 |
popey | like the device tho? | 16:18 |
bigcalm | It'll improve over time | 16:18 |
bigcalm | Very much so | 16:18 |
ujjain | I used to have a Nexus 5, battery was horrid, I played too much with it I guess | 16:18 |
popey | i hate that i keep pressing the power button when i pick it up | 16:18 |
ujjain | @popey; too many notifications | 16:18 |
ujjain | they don't bother you? | 16:19 |
popey | well done | 16:19 |
bigcalm | popey: slightly regretting buying the Karbon shell with my order. Didn't realise that it came with a clear jelly shell that is nicer to use. | 16:19 |
popey | I wondered who would be the first to mention the notifications | 16:19 |
popey | why would they bother me, it's on my desk, with the display off | 16:19 |
bigcalm | popey: I haven't done that. But I do keep pressing volume down when I want to press power | 16:19 |
popey | phones should have power buttons on the top, not the side | 16:19 |
popey | [FACT] | 16:19 |
popey | iphone 4 was the pinnacle of phone design imo :) | 16:19 |
zmoylan-pi | nokia e61i to my mind | 16:20 |
popey | was that symbian? | 16:20 |
zmoylan-pi | yup | 16:20 |
zmoylan-pi | was all downhill after the e61i | 16:21 |
Myrtti | I loved my N95 | 16:23 |
zmoylan-pi | the n95, another classic. met a hotel porter who used the n95 to torrent movies in his pocket while he was at work | 16:24 |
Myrtti | I used it for IRC, and for taking the best photos I've ever taken, and listening to audiobooks | 16:25 |
SuperMatt | no way he won't be found out | 16:25 |
ujjain | 11 days into the year and still no tube strike, itโs a miraccccccleee ๐ | 16:25 |
* ujjain opens newspaper | 16:25 | |
ujjain | Tuesday 26 January - Tube Strike | 16:26 |
* SuperMatt nods sagely | 16:26 | |
SuperMatt | I don't know whether to try to work from home, or take annual leave | 16:26 |
zmoylan-pi | it willen have been a tube strike if it happens... :-) | 16:26 |
ujjain | work from home, that's what Mitchell and Webb'd do. | 16:27 |
SuperMatt | yeah, but what about the wa... | 16:28 |
bigcalm | popey: am I mad or is there no gallery app on the phone? (ignoring Google photos) | 16:32 |
bigcalm | <popey> yes | 16:32 |
popey | thats the default photos app now, innit? | 16:32 |
bigcalm | Is it? Didn't realise that | 16:32 |
popey | i thought so | 16:33 |
bigcalm | After taking a photo, one can scroll though past photos. Thought that was using a gallery app | 16:33 |
popey | that used to be the case | 16:33 |
popey | but Google merged them into one app i thought | 16:33 |
popey | if you search play store for gallery then you'll find google photos | 16:34 |
popey | thats the app i use | 16:34 |
popey | i thought it was pre-installed? | 16:34 |
bigcalm | It is pre-installed | 16:35 |
bigcalm | On my SGS5 with CM12.1 (and now 13.0), there was a separate app for Gallery that wasn't Google photos | 16:35 |
bigcalm | Hence my surprise | 16:36 |
bigcalm | I'll live :) | 16:36 |
ujjain | Yeah, I prefered Gallery too | 16:38 |
bigcalm | The camera is nice https://twitter.com/bigcalm/status/686588390352007170 | 16:41 |
diddledan | bigcalm: you've got a nice pair | 16:43 |
Myrtti | it's merged yeah | 16:43 |
bigcalm | diddledan: they were a lovely juicy pair | 16:43 |
Myrtti | bigcalm: which SW did you end up seeing? | 16:43 |
bigcalm | Myrtti: imax 3d. It was okay | 16:44 |
moreati | bigcalm: the 3D part or the SW part? | 16:44 |
diddledan | I really need to go watch that | 16:44 |
bigcalm | Myrtti: the drugs I'm on make my emotions quite muted. That said, I enjoyed the film, so that's saying something | 16:44 |
Myrtti | the 3D was a lacklustre for me | 16:44 |
Myrtti | bigcalm: I'm not on any drugs and it was a relatively muted affair for me, too. I cried far less than what I expected | 16:45 |
bigcalm | I think that 3d shouldn't be the point of the film. An addition to it that you don't really notice but adds depth. Avatar did it well. I haven't seen it used correctly since then sadly | 16:45 |
bigcalm | moreati: 2D would have been just as good | 16:45 |
Myrtti | we watched Finding Nemo in 3D at home with the new telly and it was amazing | 16:46 |
moreati | Myrtti: ditto, but saw Dredd | 16:47 |
zmoylan-pi | the dredd movie was amazing, i would have loved to have seen that in cinema in 3d | 16:48 |
bigcalm | Watched Empire Strikes Back (DVD) last night and saw that it was better than anything else, ever | 16:53 |
diddledan | bigcalm: he said let there be starwars. and there was starwars. and he looked upon it and saw that it was good. | 16:54 |
diddledan | day 8 of the creation story | 16:54 |
zmoylan-pi | hmmm, my movie last night was ronin... and it was explody... :-) | 16:55 |
bigcalm | Will likely watch Return of the Jedi at some point this week, though I know it will never live up to Empire | 16:55 |
diddledan | wow, I've not seen that in forever | 16:55 |
zmoylan-pi | great car chases, great shoot outs, great dialog... | 16:55 |
zmoylan-pi | what colour is the boat house in hereford?! | 16:56 |
zmoylan-pi | tonights movie... i went down... | 16:56 |
awilkins | Dredd in 3D was pretty cool | 17:05 |
