[10:57] <foobarry> whats the word i'm looking for
[10:58] <foobarry> if i want another way to say that i want editorial control over changes to a website to achieve a harmonious writing style across the site
[10:58] <foobarry> instead of harmonious
[10:58] <foobarry> consistent look and feel ?
[10:58] <foobarry> that should do. thanks guys
[11:13] <davmor2> foobarry: don't mention it.....no no really don't ;)
[11:44] <_Sponge> Blustery day here. Rain on , than off, then on again ...
[11:46] <davmor2> _Sponge: so England then
[11:46] <_Sponge> No ManxLand.
[11:47] <_Sponge> not that it matters.
[11:47] <_Sponge> Did anyone see that FairTaxTown documentary on the Beeb ?
[11:48] <_Sponge> My friend, the Lady from the Isle of Man, was on that.
[11:54] <awilkins> I did
[11:54] <awilkins> http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ygl19
[11:55] <awilkins> TLDW : Yes, it's perfectly possible for small businesses to use the same tax-avoidance schemes as the big boys
[11:56] <awilkins> TBH I think the only thing that will get HMRC and the government to fix the situation is when someone commercializes tax-avoidance for small business
[11:56] <awilkins> Given that 99% of businesses in the UK are small businesses, there's a market there
[11:58] <directhex> wasn't that what the did at the end?
[11:58] <directhex> selling their "fair tax town" formula?
[11:59] <awilkins> I don't think they actually went through with it
[11:59] <awilkins> Currently they are still on the Light Side of the Tax
[12:00] <awilkins> They created a viable tax avoidance scheme but are only using it as a campaigning tool right now AFAICT
[12:00] <awilkins> The ringleader is running for head of the HMRC board
[12:00] <awilkins> https://www.change.org/p/consider-steve-lewis-for-next-chief-executive-of-hmrc-board-peoplestaxman
[12:01] <awilkins> From their front page : "The Fair Tax Town Scheme is designed to put us in a strong negotiating position with HMRC, and not to avoid tax…"
[12:02] <awilkins> Actually using the tax avoidance scheme would presumably be the nuclear option
[13:02] <knightwise> yo peeps
[13:02] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[13:32] <knightwise> hey zmoylan-pi how are you due
[13:33] <zmoylan-pi> better than your autocorrect? :-)
[13:33] <knightwise> Haha :)
[13:33] <knightwise> Fewwy Funnah
[13:35] <zmoylan-pi> proper keyboards for the non abbreviated win \o/
[13:37] <knightwise> The one on my mbp is big enough .. i just type too fast
[13:38] <zmoylan-pi> no such thing as typing too fast... merely a computer too slow to keep up
[13:40] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: stop using that zx81 and use something a little more modern you know like an amiga or atari then ;)
[13:41] <zmoylan-pi> a zx81? do you think i'm made of money... ::hugs zx80::
[13:41] <davmor2> hahahaha
[13:42] <zmoylan-pi> and stay away from those new fangled ram packs... nothing but wobble... :-)
[13:43] <zmoylan-pi> i was tempted when i saw someone had connect a zx spectrum to twitter till i saw the network card used had a more powerful processor than the speccy
[13:45] <davmor2> I liked the guy that turned the raspi into a 48k emulator and installed it in an old spectrum I thought that was genius and all so he could play jetset willy :)
[13:46] <zmoylan-pi> it's not the same using a pc keyboard in an emulator somehow...
[13:49] <zmoylan-pi> maplins sell a fuse keyboard that is very reminiscent of the bbc keyboard.  tempting but too expensive
[13:58] <davmor2> ah the good old bbc micro :) whisks me back to school :)
[14:24] <MooDoo> used to play chucky egg or frak on our bbc at schoo :)
[14:34] <davmor2> we weren't really allowed to play games on them except for adventure games as those meant you read stuff as they were all text based :)
[15:20] <mapps> hm new x files was ok
[15:20] <diddledan> mapps: I liked it
[15:21] <diddledan> mapps: way to cluster filesystem-check our collective minds :-p
[15:22] <diddledan> everything we thought we knew about the cannon of the x-files… nope, you’re wrong
[15:43] <awilkins> Mulder : now a skeptic
[15:44] <awilkins> Scully : Enrolled in a commune in the Nevada desert that wears tinfoil hats and sends messages to aliens by drinking phosphorescent chemicals and peeing pictograms onto the vast desert mesa
[15:44] <awilkins> Smoking Man : wears a nicotine patch
[15:44] <awilkins> Lone Gunmen : all happily married
[15:53] <diddledan> awilkins: lmao
[16:26] <moreati> awilkins: married to other people, or to each other?
[16:31] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[16:34] <popey> hi bigcalm
[16:35] <popey> no lag on steamlink even on wifi here
[16:36] <bigcalm> popey: I haven't used mine for some time now, might have improved
[16:37] <popey> i just booted it up, did an OTA update and played GTA5
[16:37] <popey> didn't notice
[16:37] <bigcalm> popey: the issue I, and directhex, found was that now and then there would be a freeze in game play. Followed by restored game play, but the last action of the controller repeated many times.
[16:38] <bigcalm> Resulting in walking off ledges in Lego games mostly
[16:38] <popey> maybe I haven't played long enough to trigger that
[16:38] <popey> or don't have those games
[16:38] <bigcalm> This is over wifi n and LAN over power
[16:38] <bigcalm> It wasn't any one game, happens for all streaming things
[16:39] <bigcalm> As I say, I haven't used it for some time. Might have been fixed
[16:39] <bigcalm> directhex: Steam link still causing lag pockets for you?
[17:05] <_Sponge> knightwise: Still there ?
[17:50] <mapps> hmm
[17:50] <mapps> what to watch
[17:50] <brobostigon> the simpsons, :)
[17:51] <mapps> heh
[18:23]  * davmor2 just leaves this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0N4twV28Mw
[18:28] <diddledan> I’ve started on the hot-crossed buns already - it’s not even february!
[18:33] <davmor2> diddledan: dude that is so wrong
[18:33] <diddledan> :-p
[18:33] <diddledan> yet it feels so right
[18:33] <davmor2> you simply shouldn't stop eating hot-cross buns :)
[18:33] <zmoylan-pi> -5 points for use of the word dude... unless you work(ed) for dell... :-P
[18:34] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: -5 for the use of that word that I use all the time :P
[18:53] <mapps> heh
[18:55] <mapps> lol shock numerous people claiming they had the 33mil winning ticket
[18:56] <diddledan> do they really think that camelot won’t check?
[18:56] <mapps> who knows, some people ust want attention from papers/tv
[18:57] <mapps> how could camelot check though if you bought the ticket in a shop and then chucked it away
[18:57] <diddledan> they won’t pay if you don’t have the ticket IIRC
[18:58] <mapps> ya i thought so..so saying you binned it or washed it
[18:58] <zmoylan-pi> just attach the genital electrodes and put them through lie detector test... not saying it's accurate but will thin the herd... :-D
[18:58] <mapps> means it goes unclaimed right?
[18:59] <mapps> how did this 21 yr old die..says she got wdged between 2 sofas on a drinking session?!
[18:59] <diddledan> o_O
[18:59] <mapps> some young girl travelling in australia
[18:59] <mapps> said she was on beta blockers and a history of palpitations..still seems odd
[22:02] <mapps> caught the end of murder games bbc3 docu drama about a 14yr old groomed by an 18yr old
[22:02] <mapps> pretty sad story;/
[22:02] <diddledan> mapps: lucifer is fun
[22:03] <mapps> i was looking at that earlier as it happens
[22:03] <diddledan> just watching the first ep
[22:03] <mapps> started 'power' ..heard of it? it sounded whack
[22:03] <mapps> but 7.8 , 8.2/10 on tv.com/imdb
[22:03] <diddledan> don’t think I know that one
[22:03] <mapps> so figured id give it a try...directed by 50 cent
[22:05] <mapps> ima download the bbc3 doc, it's strange to think something as innocent as playing games could endup in murder
[22:08] <zmoylan-pi> did you not notice all the gun fighting over cards in westerns?
[22:09] <mapps> heh
[22:09] <mapps> but i mean this is young kids being groomed over game forums and team speak stuff
[22:10] <mapps> must be so many vile people lurking on forums/server trying to groom kids, impossible to get a #
[22:11] <diddledan> mapps: I want to know why I haven’t been groomed by any vile people. I’m most disappointed
[22:18] <mapps> you want to be? to troll them i assume?
[22:19] <mapps> or report them
[22:23] <diddledan> mapps: it’s just that I must be offensive or something
[22:23] <mapps> heh
[22:23] <diddledan> ooh, just spooted the credit on lucifer - it’s exec produced by jerry bruckheimer
[22:24] <mapps> i thought i saw lucifer mentioned months back..maybe it was a pre air
[22:24] <diddledan> I mentioned it a while back when I saw the pre-air trailer
[22:25] <mapps> aha47
[22:34] <diddledan> apparently it’s perfectly acceptible for the fbi to run child-porn sites: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/judge-rules-fbi-running-child-porn-site-for-13-days-was-not-outrageous-conduct-playpen
[22:36] <zmoylan-pi> and the nsa's giant hoovering up of all data probably is largest child porn collection
[22:37] <mapps> hmm
[22:38] <mapps> a honeypot diddledan?
[22:40] <zmoylan-pi> who knew basic was evil... :-) https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2016/jan/25/johnny-cashs-basic-threat/
[22:41] <mapps> cya work time
