[04:56] <mapito> hi
[08:38] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[13:31] <penguin42> hmm sudden hail storm
[13:31] <zmoylan-pi> had that yesterday...
[13:33] <DJones> just had one flash of lightening
[13:47] <awilkins> putronic retailer does Vive demos now]
[15:19] <LibreSponge> Does this Link work for anyone (?) :
[15:19] <LibreSponge> https://insights.ubuntu.com/phone-and-tablet/
[15:20] <LibreSponge> works fine on OMGUbuntu: https://redd.it/4c5gkj
[15:21] <popey> looks like a datacentre outage
[15:21] <LibreSponge> popey, Aren't you glad I'm here, listening, then.
[15:21] <penguin42> a datacentre outage on a bankholiday weekend?
[15:21] <popey> well, company irc is dead too
[15:22] <popey> so yeah, more than one thing out
[15:22] <popey> canonical.com too
[15:23] <LibreSponge>  '#ubuntu-community is quiet about this. Be nice to let the crowd-know gradually.
[15:24] <popey> it's being worked on
[15:24] <popey> the /topic #canonical-sysadmin has been updated
[15:24] <popey> which is where we usually report these things
[15:25] <LibreSponge> I just hope there is little failure-to-communicate to the community, wud be my point. gradually -speaking that is.
[15:27] <LibreSponge> I shall do a report-for-you.
[16:13] <LibreSponge> popey, It's on-going but getting there. |  https://archive.org/details/UbuntuOuttage27thMarch2016
[16:19] <LibreSponge> popey, It's back Up now .. before I finished :-) http://insights.ubuntu.com/phone-and-tablet/
[16:20] <popey> indeed, just reported in #canonical-sysadmin
[16:20] <popey> 17:06 <@elmo> popey (and others): things should now be resolved
[16:21] <penguin42> removed bunnies from ac ducting....
[16:22] <LibreSponge> popey, they should use this as a test-case to see how the How-to-tweet-about-it on Monday/Tuesday.
[16:25] <popey> I'm not convinced it needed it. A 1 hour outage.
[16:37] <LibreSponge> popey, I shall hush-up about any problems at Ubuntu.com in future, then.
[16:37] <popey> thats extreme
[16:38] <popey> You know, it's possible to have a conversation without going off the deep end
[16:38] <LibreSponge> I'm not extreme - it just raining here - and i had nothing to-do 's-all.
[16:39] <popey> right, but just because I said I didn't think it was needed didn't need a knee-jerk flounce
[16:39] <LibreSponge> sorry, I'm just flumixed that I got no choco-lite today :)
[16:46] <LibreSponge> A_lot of 12.04.4 distros' are being released at the moment. https://redd.it/4c5esb
[16:46] <popey> 12.04? Really?
[16:46] <popey> surprising
[16:47] <LibreSponge> sorry 14.04.4 my mistake.
[18:02] <knightwise> gonna test out the beta next week on my VM
[18:03] <knightwise> love the fact that you can now place the launcher at the bottom
[18:03] <knightwise> little things make me happy :) easily amused
[18:13] <popey> heh
[18:44] <DJones> evening all
[18:44] <popey> o/
[18:47] <DJones> yay, just realised that Swype on android does have a tab key on the default keyboard
[18:47] <DJones> makes irc over irssi connectbit
[18:48] <DJones> connectbot much easier
[18:50] <penguin42> ctrl-i works generally I think for that
[18:51] <penguin42> although that is 3 taps
[18:51] <DJones> Right, I'll stick with the tab key
[18:52] <penguin42> nod
[18:53] <DJones> now to find something worth watching on tv
[18:54] <zmoylan-pi> so you're not going to type in brobostigon properly... shame... :-)
[18:54] <popey> Antiques roadshow in a bit!
[18:54] <DJones> popey: can't stand that
[18:55]  * penguin42 likes it except when they do the specials
[18:55] <DJones> zmoylan-pi: or snojkan-pie
[18:55] <zmoylan-pi> it's nice when some one discovers that some old tat they had at home for yonks turns out to be worth a fortune
[18:56] <popey> I quite like it. Nice easy watching Sunday telly :)
[18:56] <Myrtti> DJones: did you know how to get to that tab the easiest?
[18:57] <penguin42> good to fall asleep in front of
[18:57] <Myrtti> Swipe from swype to the ?123 key
[18:58] <DJones> Myrtti: last time i used it, it didn't have it, don't know if it's because of a new install on a new tablet that's changed the layout
[18:58] <Myrtti> that sounds weird
[18:59] <DJones> now there is a tab key above the shift key
[18:59] <popey> ooooh
[18:59] <popey> they just said AR has "the highest valuation in 20 years"
[18:59] <penguin42> AR?
[18:59] <popey> If that won't get you watching, i don't know what will!
[18:59] <popey> Antiques Roadshow
[18:59] <penguin42> oh AR
[19:00] <DJones> popey: at my age i don't need reminding of antiques
[19:00] <zmoylan-pi> i've got calluses that are worth a quote at this point... :-)
[19:04] <DJones> heh
[19:09] <DJones> Myrtti: i didn't know about that shortcut, probably won't remember it for the future anyway
[19:11] <Myrtti> of course I use that and the language swap all the time
[19:12] <DJones> very rarely use this on my tablet, but tablet is easier than a laptop while sitting in a hospital bed
[19:59] <penguin42> popey: It's cheating doing a 'highest valuation' thing on something like that
[20:06]  * m0nkey_ has finally put the summer wheels on the car
[20:06] <m0nkey_> I no longer accept this wintery weather.
[20:12]  * zmoylan-pi stepped out for a nice walk to the shops to be blasted by winter weather, rain, hail, wind and freezing temps today... of course it was sunny when i left and again by the time i got back...
[20:13] <penguin42> yeh got 5mins of hail storm sometime earlier
[20:14] <m0nkey_> 11C outside today
[20:14] <m0nkey_> After months of below zero, yes.. I'm wearing shorts
[20:15] <popey> penguin42: i agree!
[20:15] <penguin42> Friday was better here; chance to try the new Gelato shop that opened (bravely) a month ago
[20:17] <zmoylan-pi> queues outside local icecream shop earlier in the week. wearing heavy coats but waiting for ice cream... https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/713659982806446081/photo/1
[20:39] <Azelphur> Well, I just managed to get the best domain name ever, I am now the proud owner of a single character domain, http://ǣ.cc
[20:40]  * m0nkey_ pokes your owncloud
[20:40]  * Azelphur pokes m0nkey_
[20:40] <m0nkey_> :)
[20:40] <Azelphur> hehe
[20:40] <m0nkey_> http://xn--fka.cc/
[20:40] <m0nkey_> thats what chrome tells me
[20:40] <Azelphur> indeed, Chrome seems to unicode it - firefox displays it
[20:41] <m0nkey_> now confuse people by giving them your email address as Azelphur@ǣ.cc :)
[20:41] <Azelphur> haha
[20:41] <m0nkey_> They'll be, where the heck is the ǣ key?
[20:42] <penguin42> hmm I can get æ easily but the line hmm
[20:50] <zmoylan-pi> except for emacs users... those buggers have every key a vulcan keypress away...
