[06:15] <knightwise> good morning everyone
[06:27] <daftykins> happy bank holiday \o
[06:27] <AuroraAvenue> knightwise: Good moro, kind sirs.
[06:31] <knightwise> hey guys
[06:31] <knightwise> how are you doing
[06:31] <daftykins> all good here ta, trying out this game 'Dark Souls' (#1) - and yourself?
[06:34] <knightwise> Just got into work.
[06:35] <knightwise> and running some posts on facebook about this weeks podcast
[06:41] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[06:48] <knightwise> good morning brobostigon
[06:50] <brobostigon> morning knightwise
[06:52] <brmbrmcar> Good morning
[07:02] <knightwise> hmm,  ffmpeg doesnt want to behave
[07:02] <knightwise> Ive been trying to convert some webm files to mp3 but keep getting errors
[07:03] <brobostigon> :(
[07:04] <AuroraAvenue> Leicester will be crowned champions if Tottenham fail to beat Chelsea tonight . http://ow.ly/4njgUq
[07:13] <daftykins> hrmm
[07:13] <daftykins> that's a quirky task!
[07:32] <AuroraAvenue> What's that daftykins ?
[08:26] <knightwise> still can't believe we don't have a client for the Google Drive these days
[08:27] <daftykins> heh
[08:27] <daftykins> you'd sooner get a OneDrive client ;
[08:27] <daftykins> ;D
[08:30]  * brobostigon has a more simple wishlist, irssinotifier for ubuntu touch.
[08:32] <knightwise> daftykins: you are probably right
[08:41] <daftykins> i'm not even hugely impressed by the G Drive client in Windows land, i put it in at a clients with their documents sat inside it hoping for auto backup, most times i visit it's not even running in the system tray... and it breaks the windows indexer service so search doesn't work (well) in there - even on an SSD say
[08:59] <popey> MOrning
[08:59] <popey> brobostigon: I'd like that too!
[08:59] <brobostigon> :)
[09:00] <daftykins> wouldn't it be easier to use one of these more modern clients that lurks on one host and you can connect in from multiple device types?
[09:00] <daftykins> znc or such like
[09:00] <brobostigon> ssh?
[09:01] <daftykins> no
[09:01] <daftykins> that's general purpose ;)
[09:04] <popey> not really, i only want it for notifications
[09:04] <popey> and I already use irssi
[09:05] <popey> Myrtti: do you know the irssinotifier developer? I have a vague recollection you said you did.
[09:05] <daftykins> i can't think of the names but i'm sure there're more modern approaches to the whole thing that'd tie that in, but i too use irssi and can't be bothered to branch out!
[09:08] <Myrtti> popey: icb bloke I know, but I probably could get in touch with the in guy too, easily, why?
[09:09] <Myrtti> oh
[09:11] <Myrtti> https://github.com/murgo/IrssiNotifier
[09:12] <popey> oh!
[09:13] <popey> ta
[09:14] <brobostigon> :)
[09:38] <knightwise> The Synology Sync client on my linux machine is a tad slow
[09:38] <knightwise> but it appears to do the job
[09:38] <knightwise> I'm happy it works though.
[09:39] <daftykins> that the backup only type one, or the home dropbox type one?
[09:50] <knightwise> Home dropbox type one
[09:50] <knightwise> works pretty smoothly these days
[09:52] <daftykins> mmm, i debated trying it for some folks - a home OpenVPN setup letting them browse to mapped drives to docs seems useful also
[09:52] <knightwise> true , but I'm not always able to setup a vpn,
[09:52] <knightwise> mostly i work behind clients firewalls en stuff
[09:52] <daftykins> *nod* i'm sure the circumstances always vary
[09:52] <knightwise> so I run into scenarios where they dont allow me to dail in
[09:53] <knightwise> + its essential for me that I can work offline too
[09:53] <knightwise> When I do presentations I always need to have a realtime copy of the presentation on my laptop and on the home server
[09:53] <knightwise> just in case something happens
[09:54] <daftykins> just had an email from an uncle who wants to try out connecting back into his office as it goes! what timing
[10:09] <knightwise> 4
[10:09] <knightwise> sorry , wrong window
[10:18] <daftykins> i blame zmoylan-pi
[10:18]  * daftykins whistles
[10:18]  * zmoylan-pi puts the cattle prod on charge...
[10:18] <daftykins> oh hi!
[10:19] <zmoylan-pi> hi daftykins lets meetup... >:-)
[10:19] <daftykins> i'm free on the first of neveruary
[10:20]  * zmoylan-pi lobbies for changing the names of months...
[10:20] <zmoylan-pi> it'll be a cold day in neveruary...
[10:20] <daftykins> do you have a day off over on the Emerald Isle today, sir?
[10:21] <zmoylan-pi> tis a bank holiday.  for all us socailists comrade
[10:21] <daftykins> ah har
[10:21] <zmoylan-pi> the government tried to get rid of such a soviet holiday a few years back and the country just took the day off so lesson learned they stopped trying
[10:22] <daftykins> :D
[10:22] <daftykins> here on the rock we have another one next Monday as it's liberation day!
[10:22] <zmoylan-pi> midnight-6am of may 1st was listening to state radio station broadcasting the dawn chorus from all across europe.  was wonderful
[10:23] <zmoylan-pi> the russian section with russian wildlife expert and translator *PLUS* time lag was particularly surreal... :-)
[10:24] <daftykins> o0
[10:25] <zmoylan-pi> the austrian section were they had to relocate as the middle of the forest they had chosen was for some reason the source of a huge party...
[10:25] <daftykins> :D oops
[10:26] <knightwise> Calibre + conversion of Epubs and 'send-to-kindle' is the bomb :)
[10:26] <zmoylan-pi> the norwegians who found the irish engineers excitement really funny at been up at dawn in minus umpteen degrees listening to critturs they couldn't see
[10:27]  * zmoylan-pi makes sign of the ebook at mention of calibre as it is a lifesaver...
[10:30] <knightwise> Agreed !
[10:31] <knightwise> Went for a nice walk yesterday .. explored some of the regions of the mine of Cheratte:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_mine_of_Hasard_de_Cheratte
[10:31] <knightwise> Urban explorers wet dream
[10:33]  * zmoylan-pi limped to shops for a few hours.  spotted a heron by the seaside again, plus cormorants drying out which always looks cool to me
