[09:52] <MSponge> Anything news worthy yet ?
[10:01] <foobarry> another factory reset that doesn't reinstall apps.
[10:01] <foobarry> its never worked for me ever :(
[10:04] <MSponge> I wonder how you add a PPA (private) after you do a default install /
[10:04] <MSponge> ^         ?
[10:04] <MSponge> I mean, how do you set it up on launchpad ?
[10:58] <foobarry> MSponge: what do you want to do?
[11:01] <popey> there is a page in launchpad where you can see all your private ppa subscriptions
[11:02] <popey> https://launchpad.net/~popey/+archivesubscriptions (for me)
[11:02] <popey> click "view" on the right and it will show you the relavent lines for sources.list
[11:05] <MSponge> right-oh. I just wanted to install all the prog.s at once after install. N00b question really.
[11:05] <MSponge> Morning popey.
[11:06] <MSponge> Did anyone see that Jono's got a gnew podcast for github going.
[11:06] <foobarry> sudo apt-add-repository
[11:06] <MSponge> Don't like the name of it , but hey I can't complain.
[11:06] <foobarry> there's a command to add a repo to your machine
[11:07] <MSponge> yes i know that easy enough.
[11:07] <MSponge> I just wanted to install 50 apps at once in my own single PPA.
[11:08] <MSponge> i think popey answered it well.
[11:09] <popey> yeah, i dont think there's an easy way to do what you want, sorry
[11:12] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[11:19] <MSponge> Owh, are we going to get some story-time, brobostigon ?
[11:19] <brobostigon> huh?
[11:20] <MSponge> Morning boys and girls is what you say when you read nursery rhyms, No /
[11:20] <MSponge> *sans / ?
[11:20] <brobostigon> ok,
[11:21] <MSponge> The was a young girl from Ballahatchet ...
[11:21] <MSponge> Oh that doesn't end well :)
[11:24]  * MSponge wanders off.
[11:25] <brobostigon> :)
[12:43] <MSponge> Whats everyone think of the Fat/Sugar tax in the UK ?
[13:12] <zmoylan-pi> there'll be wandering bands of fatties mugging people leaving supermarkets for snickers and mars bars...
[13:18] <MSponge> I'd fight over a toblerone aswell.
[13:20]  * zmoylan-pi has a few black toblerone in press that were on special...
[15:16] <MooDoo> howdy all
[15:18] <MooDoo> :)
[15:19] <MooDoo> everyone ok ?
[15:33] <penguin42> Yeh ok
[15:36] <MooDoo> :)
[15:38]  * penguin42 wonders what city name starts with 'mapp'
[16:44] <diddledan> morning
[16:46] <diddledan> I'm just watching eddy snow's keynote for the libreplanet conference (recording) and the thought occurred that governments don't need to backdoor the OS itself necessarily but could embed their snooping stuffs into drivers that we willingly load into kernel space - e.g. nvidia or fglrx. people don't normally consider those as being risky at all
[16:47] <penguin42> people may not, I certainly do
[16:49] <MSponge> Any chance of a link ?
[16:49] <diddledan> MSponge: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/libreplanet-2016-the-last-lighthouse/
[16:49] <MSponge> cheers, matey.
[16:51] <MSponge> The last lighthouse .. Alot of L's there .. Lets hope he's not *lost* the plot, again.
[18:59] <MSponge> popey, ping (if not busy - it's le weekend afterall).
[19:01] <MSponge> popey, Wats the possibility of getting the Fossil Q Display Watches to interface with Ubuntu, ya think ?
[19:01] <MSponge> there Androids clobber.
[19:07] <popey> no idea, never heard of them
[19:07]  * popey googles
[19:07] <zmoylan-pi> never heard of fossil... didn't they make the palm os watch yonks back>
[19:08] <popey> if they have an API, more likely than if they don't
[19:08] <popey> we have support for pebble because they have a decent API
[19:08] <popey> and one of their employees hangs out in our telegram group and provides (unofficial, but huge amounts of) help
[19:13] <MSponge> fair enough .. just Mumzie got clobbered at the airport by a sales person & she asked if it could be used on Ubuntu (?). And they were abit flumixed by the question.
[19:13] <zmoylan-pi> kudos for them not straight out lying...
[19:13] <MSponge> Nice bit this one I found ... https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-song-a4de/
[19:14] <MSponge> goes on abit , but good effort all'round.
[19:16] <diddledan> my mum doesn't know one end of a computer from the other. she stays far far away from anything computerised. so she's unlikely to be asking "does it work with ubuntu" any time soon :-p
[19:17] <MSponge> Mum keeps asking me have I written a linux version of her 5000Euro's blackboards software for her Open University teaching courses.
[19:18] <diddledan> let me guess, you suggested such a thing in jest and now she expects you to build it? :-p
[19:18] <MSponge> I keep telling her, We need to get a decent camera for the kickstarter, and she just says ..
[19:19]  * diddledan expects the lumberjack song next
[19:19] <zmoylan-pi> writing code looks so easy on those nice american csi shows...
[19:19] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi, you can get two people coding simultaneaously on the same keyboard, dun'tchaknow
[19:20] <diddledan> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8qgehH3kEQ
[19:20] <MSponge> Oowh, I'm gonna be on the internet, that'll be Rimmel special edition lipstick then. Then changes her mind Elizabeth Arden lipstick  for the video.
[19:21] <MSponge> I think she using Max Factor (or at least she won't shut up about it) so she says.
[19:22] <MSponge> I think she gives it too much promise about becoming famous for 15 minutes or something.
[19:24]  * MSponge think she should stick to her bridge club, and make me some Pie and custard (possibly Elmlea as a chilled alternative).
[19:24] <MSponge> **thinks
[21:01] <MSponge> Off to bed. Have a look at this website if ya bored 25,000 yoyos for an Apartment (in english also) , www.funda.nl
[21:32] <maco> Myrtti: am i remembering right that you're in london?
[21:40] <daftykins> now there's a nick i haven't seen in a while, 'lo maco
[21:41] <maco> daftykins: hello :) i popped in because i'm planning a visit across the pond in august
[21:41] <daftykins> ah har, neat. you're west coast iirc?
[21:42] <maco> no, east. washington, dc area
[21:42] <daftykins> ah, remembered washington but the wrong one
[21:42] <maco> got married a bit over a year ago, and we're finally going to have our honeymoon
[21:42] <daftykins> and you chose wintery England? bold :)
[21:43] <maco> (turns out popey and some other folks here were in dc the weekend of my wedding, but i didn't find out until pendulum mentioned it at the reception!)
[21:43] <penguin42> daftykins: In August it might hit 10c!
[21:43] <maco> i've visited in august twice before, i know it's warmer'n that! was about 30 even
[21:43] <daftykins> oops :>
[21:44] <maco> (actually earlier today i was having to explain celcius to the husband. he was doing laundry and it said wash at 30c and he didn't know if that was cold, warm, or hot)
[21:44] <daftykins> ah yes, foreignheit causes us to come a cropper plenty too
[21:45] <Myrtti> maco: north of Cambridge actually
[21:46] <Myrtti> (but London is an hour train ride away, we did that yesterday just for some Finnish food
[21:46] <popey> o/ maco
[21:46] <maco> Myrtti: so... if i was to go to Kentwell, would you want to join in?
[21:47] <maco> Myrtti: Long Melford looks not too far from Cambridge
[21:47] <Myrtti> August might be a bit tight, but possibly
[21:47] <maco> popey: hiya
[22:04] <maco> Is there anywhere y'all'd say we should go, given we're into medieval/tudor history, archery, and (in my case) textiles? Kentwell, the Mary Rose, and the V&A are on the list, but locals will know better'n me what neat things there are to see & do
[22:06] <maco> (and, of course, folks I know from UDSes, it'd be nice to see you again)
[22:06] <popey> Winchester.
[22:07] <popey> http://www3.hants.gov.uk/greathall
[22:07] <popey> apparently Winchester (our olde capital city) is the best place to live in the UK :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35855783
[22:08] <daftykins> ooh the cathedral looks fancy
[22:09] <zmoylan-pi> well when you spend a chunk of a century building them... :-)
[22:10] <popey> maco: seen http://www.nerdydaytrips.com/ ?
[22:10] <maco> popey: no!
[22:10] <maco> popey: thank you!
[22:11] <penguin42> popey: Nice!
[22:11] <popey> maco: also http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/1066-battle-of-hastings-abbey-and-battlefield/
[22:12] <daftykins> ooh there's one on the island here :P
[22:13] <popey> it's crowd sourced data
[22:13] <popey> so people can add new stuff
[22:13] <zmoylan-pi> last time i looked at it a lot of junk had been added to it... but still a very good source..
[22:14] <daftykins> ah i never went anywhere during my Uni time really, should have done far more with the time
[22:14] <zmoylan-pi> well you were supposed to be busy in uni... getting drunk and so on... :-)
[22:15] <daftykins> nah, didn't much go in for that, as i went later ;)
[22:17] <maco> when a friend visited Ireland, she visited both the Donegal Tweed Centre and the corrolary for Harris Tweed. Given the history of English woollens and Scottish mills as well, anything similarly interesting?
[22:18] <maco> also the search on that nerdy day trips site seems to not filter anything at all >_>
[23:20] <popey> hehe, just found photos of my old arcade cabinet on the london hackspace wiki https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Equipment/The_Beast
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> one of my dm's has a gauntlet cabinet that he can't bear to part with even if it takes up a tonne of room
[23:29] <popey> is it a 4 player one?
[23:29] <popey> I can imagine it does, even the two player versions
[23:29] <popey> I use a picade now instead of using my jamma games themselves.
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> 4 player version...
[23:29] <popey> blimey
[23:30] <zmoylan-pi> but you know... a real gauntlet game :-)
[23:30] <popey> https://twitter.com/popey/status/710575624105103362
[23:34] <zmoylan-pi> what we want is a fold up control panel for gauntlet and plug it into any large screen to save space... :-)
[23:46] <diddledan> we want this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0e8ZMVqVCc
[23:46] <diddledan> (yes I know it was a beta version of Wipeout for the PSX)
[23:50] <zmoylan-pi> around 2000 i installed a zx spectrum emulator on my brothers pc.  he had to delete it a few months later as his kids abandoned their xbox and playstation to play bombjack and jetpac... :-)
[23:51] <zmoylan-pi> it was the only way he could get his pc back to do invoices...
[23:51] <daftykins> diddledan: it... it was?
[23:52] <daftykins> sure looks the part, but the weird ball thing, heh
