[00:18] i think a breeze is coming through at last! [00:22] lightning on west coast of ireland according to irish chatroom... [00:22] ooh [00:24] zmoylan-pi: did you have to dig out the shorts? :> [00:24] it's a geeky chatroom were they can measure the rain by the degradation of their radio links for data... [00:25] yaaaay [00:25] what kind of data o0 [00:25] nah, i was covered up today. i did leave front of my fleece almost unzipped. sweaty when i got home but i prefer to sweat than lie in bed at night trying not to touch bed with sunburnt skin [00:26] they provice internet via microwave links [00:27] ah [00:27] been irish if the moon shines too bright i get moonburn... [00:27] :D [00:28] lots of people were walking about shirtless who are now probably whimpering lying in bed now [00:31] mmm i don't go in for the lazy act of sunbathing [00:31] i just hung about indoors in shorts [00:31] just stepped outside, nice breeze and i can see the full moon! [04:31] good morning team [05:39] hi' [05:39] alll hot and sticky again ugh [05:43] eww [05:43] finally cooled down enough for a shower here [05:44] ;] [05:44] got my fan on but just feel sweaty and hot [05:44] ughh [05:44] hear how trains stopped in the uk.melted tracks [05:44] O_o [05:46] yeah, i don't get how they have such low tolerances [05:46] 50 deg C and they're bad? wat [05:48] ya i was surprised [05:54] ah, only a few pages left of a book \o/ [05:56] dunno whether to sleep or try a little work [05:56] still fixing up some old PCs :) almost done now [06:06] hey daftykins [06:07] good morning sir [06:15] workin on some old hardware I see ? [06:16] yeah, since i did my lovely skylake build i'm selling off my core 2 quad to a friend - and also come to possess a few more core 2 duo era machines [06:16] been fixing them up / finding faults and considering selling on via a local trade site [06:20] Running linux on 'em ? [06:22] no [06:23] might list it as an option for sale, but i don't think folk would spring for them so much that way [06:24] i wouldn't fancy the support ;) [06:25] just got a DVD writer on order, as right now one has a rather ugly white PATA drive which no longer reads CDs in it [06:43] morning boys and girls. [06:46] morning [06:56] Morning all [06:56] What a week to start exercising more often! need a shower at work at this rate :P [07:06] diplo: haha oh dear! what form of exercise? sprint to work? ;) [07:14] Everything, I've been cycling, swimming, jogging and walking [07:14] So cycle to and from work ( and other times ) walk 1-2 miles at lunch, jog a little later on, swim as and when Ican [07:16] diplo: ah so you're playing pokemon go ;) [07:17] No!!!!!! [07:17] God no even! [07:18] When I'm on my walks, the amount of people who just stop randomly and flick their screens, pretty sure they're all playing.... [07:18] Good on them I guess for getting out, but the random stop starts is getting quite annoying [07:19] *Tux no ;) [07:20] yeah, it's only a matter of time i reckon before someone stops in their car and nobbles a cyclist [07:25] I was out drinking last night, some guy swooped to a stop as we were wandering down a busy road, picked his phone ( i thought for a phone call ) no, my mate says he heard the distinctive noise of how you catch these things ( I've not played so don't know ! ) [07:26] But I mean he stopped fairly stupidly, for a bloomin game! [07:28] such was the thrill of the chase [07:28] did he have a deer stalker on? [07:28] ;] [07:32] hah [08:11] Morning all [08:12] hello davmor2 [08:17] Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy Moon Day! 😃 🌜 [08:23] morning [08:23] day off \o/ [08:24] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu7AR0-FRro and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B32yjbCSVpU [08:26] JamesTait: I could also quote the titles of the OST for werewolf in London definitely some moon songs there :) [08:28] JamesTait: including this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE [08:30] foobarry: aww and you still came to hang out! [08:32] davmor2, Cat's in the Cradle though - I haven't listened to that in years! [08:33] JamesTait: you're welcome [08:33] JamesTait: every chorus sings man in the moon :D [08:34] Little Boy Blue and ... [08:41] :) [08:50] * daftykins slides everyone a cuppa [08:52] * TwistedLucidity inspects cuppa...discovers it is not ice coffee...slides it back... [08:53] i'll have you know that's Thailand's finest! [08:54] lul, i'm installing Windows 10 on a core 2 duo machine, on my old 150GB WD velociraptor [08:54] it sounds like millions of bugs are fighting at once [08:55] TwistedLucidity: it's okay leave long enough it will go cold you can drink it then [09:20] [09:31] yeah daftykins i#m looking after the daughter at the mo [09:31] but sometimes it gets dull when she's dressing up dollies [09:31] trying to decide whether cheddar gorge caves or wookey hole for holiday [09:31] Anyone else being affected by bt issues today ? [09:55] diplo: Just had an alert come through from work, BT are having issues nation wide. Affects those leasing BT lines too (i.e. everyone who isn't on Virgin) [09:55] oof! [09:56] * zmoylan-pi licks finger, holds it in the air to judge conditions and predicts bt will blame the heat... :-) [10:00] Funny thing was ( this affected half our customers ) was that their lines were still up [10:00] Just the ipsec vpn's were failing to connect [10:01] Would love to know why [10:02] diplo: just cause, that's why :) [10:03] diplo: Yup, seems to be taking out VPNs [10:04] the movie industry strikes back... [10:04] Ah right, at least it wasn't just me [10:04] the good ol' Virtual Private Notwork [10:07] diplo: possibly down to compression at my best guess if it only took out 1/2 [10:16] Yeah, not really sure.. not sure how well BT talk about their major outages [10:29] annoyed me when my local ISP and our major telco decided they would no longer maintain a status page [10:30] they didn't seem to realise how many calls they'd spare themselves [10:31] but the guy who monitored the web page can answer calls AND do stuff when he's not answering calls... [10:31] :) [10:34] i think today marks my 1 month no-going-to-Costa anniversary [10:34] yes it does! \o/ [10:36] i managed 15 years of no costa [10:36] similar for starbucks :D [10:36] it's really been around that long? [10:36] we don't have a starbucks :) [10:38] I don't go to either either [10:38] Unless with someone who wants to, can't understand how people spend so much on coffee!!!! [10:38] for me, it's that they have a branch 20m from my front door [10:38] but you have coffee in your house ? [10:39] wake up of a weekend and have nothing in the house? panino and coffee it is! [10:39] not the same thing. [10:39] hah [10:39] people spending as much money on coffee per day as do for mobile phone service for 2-3 months... Oo [10:39] these are the downsides of living on the capital's high street [10:40] oh i can certainly say i was never as insane as to go daily... once or twice a week was my limit :) [10:49] also, it's all about the carrot cake [11:03] hehe, the cake is stupidly dear too [11:03] does make you wonder what the entire thing pulls in, profit wise [11:07] sometimes you've just got to go out and live a bit, though! [11:07] ...so i'm told ;) [11:07] like outdoors and stuff?! [11:07] yeah! [12:38] looks like BT's issues were due to power problems at telecity in docklands [12:39] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36844712 [12:39] Thats what they say, I blame everybody trying to do their hair with staighteners and hairdryers so they don't go crinkly in the heat [12:40] Thats using all the power [12:41] BT Openreach are pretty useless anyway, been waiting almost 10 days for them to come and fix a fault on our voice line, excuse is there's too many faults and not enough staff..... Erm.. Isn't that part of the infrastucture planning [12:42] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36844712 [12:55] all those selfish people wanting to breath running air con... [12:59] they might have been looking up what a voice line is... :-P [13:00] You'd think they'd know, its what spam callers use to send junk messages [13:00] Surely they pay BT to not be banned and prosecuted for ignoring TPS preferences [13:00] if they knew what those were they'd have to do something about it [13:01] As in backhanders [13:01] one way they get paid, the other they have more work and less paying [13:41] does anyone know about bike brakes? i was wondering about the sizes of the barrel/nut that screws into the lever assembly [13:41] its a junior 20 inch bike, [13:42] one of these http://imgur.com/a/uJi6g [15:19] http://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/07/carbanak-gang-tied-to-russian-security-firm/ [15:50] foobarry: they aren't standard you would be better off buying a new or secondhand one for the part [16:05] Grace Hopper explaining a Nano second.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEpsKnWZrJ8 [16:16] nice [16:16] I want one [16:16] is there an official store for purchasing of nanoseconds? [16:16] You could always make your own [16:16] She gives the length [16:16] 11.8 inches [16:17] never mind the length, feel the width [16:17] something about an actress and a bishop [16:18] how long is a picosecond then? [16:19] 0.3mm [16:22] google's conversion thingy can't grok the correlation [16:23] "1 picosecond in milimeters" it fails [16:39] Thunder and lightning [16:44] Very, very frightening me! [16:46] diddledan_, need your regex skill again [16:47] from [127.0.0.1] (helo=localhost) [16:47] need to get the word, localhost [16:48] i thought helo=([^\)]*) might get it, but it doesn't [16:51] str.strip().split('=')[1][:-1] [16:51] needs to be regex [16:52] the received header could also be from: computername ([x.x.x.x]) [16:52] I have a list of regex to test [16:52] which is why regex [16:54] nvm.. got it [17:32] i hate regex [20:35] I made a thing: https://uappexplorer.com/app/unofficial-hexchat.diddledan [20:36] I'm using it right now [20:36] it works [20:36] \o/ [20:53] what's that site o0 [20:54] nm read the page :P [20:54] daftykins: hamsterdance.com ? [20:55] < diddledan_> I made a thing: https://uappexplorer.com/app/unofficial-hexchat.diddledan [20:55] it would appear mr diddle of the dan made a snappy package for hexchat [20:56] I did :-) [20:56] and I'm in it now [20:56] *gasp* [21:19] i've got a box of 3 double chocolate magnum ice creams [21:19] i think the shrinkening has occurred, because they're a ridiculous size :| [21:26] pokémon go has doubled nintendo's valuation making them more valuable than Sony [21:52] hi [21:59] does the ubuntu community still use bazaar mostly? [21:59] e.g. the various maintainers [21:59] depends how you define community [22:00] a lot of the new fangled stuff is being done in git [22:00] like snappy and juju [22:00] how bazaar, how bazaar ~ [22:00] all the old stuff is still in bazaar because nobody got time to convert it [22:00] * diddledan_ boshes daftykins [22:00] launchpad supports git now though [22:00] * SebthreeBQM10HD thinks Ubuntu convergence is starting to look more interesting now [22:01] * SebthreeBQM10HD by certan videos that seen recently [22:02] grr. I wish the encfs package would give alternative options rather than just telling you it is insecure when you install it [22:02] diddledan_: DANGER DIDDLE ROBINSON! [22:03] i'm having a word blank. what's the word that means "morally neutral"? as in "science is , it depends how you use the results" [22:03] * diddledan_ diddles robinson [22:03] ambivalent? [22:04] hmm... not really, but close [22:04] ambiguous :-p [22:04] no :) [22:04] indifferent [22:04] doesn't really capture the moral aspect. i'm sure there's an exact word for this though [22:05] promiscuous [22:05] lol [22:06] corrups [22:06] corrupt* [22:07] :-p [22:07] agnostic [22:12] uninvested [22:13] impartial [22:13] ^^^^^ that one [22:14] impartial is good [22:14] i mean a good word for it [22:14] unbiased would be another [22:14] that's the same as impartial. it's still no exactly right though [22:14] clinical [22:15] indifferent [22:15] * diddledan_ has a thesaurus open [22:15] a Brighton high school excluded some students for wearing shorts on the hottest day of the year [22:15] good work schools :> [22:16] daftykins, they were girls who had been told to wear skirts short enough you can see their difference [22:16] http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/14629093.Boys_excluded_from_lessons_after_wearing_shorts_on_hottest_day_of_the_year/?ref=mrb&lp=5 [22:16] annoying that girls often get told they cannot wear trousers [22:16] silly banner at the bottom to complain of adblocking usage, quick firefox inspection and 'node' deletion and bye bye! [22:17] amoral [22:17] that's it [22:17] aha [22:17] that's the word i wanted [22:17] "lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something." [22:32] hmm, my hexchat is dead [22:32] :-( [22:32] it's trying to call fchown syscall which is banned [22:33] * daftykins follows the support link [22:33] :D [22:33] lol [22:35] i'm quite glad i finished dealing with all these PCs, i hope i don't end up having to give them away though :P [22:51] \o/ [22:51] money hopefully [22:52] they've been a pain for you so hopefully you can get a bit of a reward [22:54] i was just daft enough to persist with ones that were wonky in the past really [22:54] i've got 3 asus motherboards that are all funky in some shape or form, to the side of me
