[00:12] <diddledan> eesh
[00:12] <diddledan> this "xen" fella doing the rounds on various ubuntu mailing lists seems to have a vendetta
[00:14] <diddledan> anywho, I'm off to bed. nn
[00:16] <daftykins> o0
[00:16] <daftykins> \o
[03:22] <mapps> hi all
[03:24] <daftykins> \o
[03:24] <daftykins> a bloody Aussie with the same name as me has bought wine and signed up my personal email to it!
[03:25] <mapps> :)
[03:25] <daftykins> debating how unpleasant to be
[03:27] <mapps> hah
[03:32] <daftykins> gonna phone him :) got a # here on the account
[03:35] <ali1234> i'm still getting junk email from america
[03:36] <ali1234> after the job search they moved on to get rich quick schemes, and then gambling websites :/
[03:36] <daftykins> ooh
[03:36] <ali1234> you can almost feel the desperation
[03:38] <daftykins> just heard the guys message saying my name as his in an aussie accent!
[03:39] <ali1234> imagine if it turned out google had a bug, and actually loads of people had the same email address
[03:40] <daftykins> nah, i went through the process once before with a woman in the midwest US, she had numbers after the "dkins" equivalent and just chose to sign up like an idiot
[03:40] <daftykins> for a time she even began to use me as a human spam filter, as i kindly forwarded them... until i decided to take no more, reset her account password and cancelled her order.
[03:42] <daftykins> there was something really satisfying about receiving an email which said "hello ma'am here is a copy of your email where you asked us to cancel your order" naturally sent to my address.
[03:43] <ali1234> the only time i ever did that is when someone posted a craigslist "personals" ad using my email
[03:43] <daftykins> oof
[03:46] <zmoylan-pi> i picked 2 random words for an email account that vaguely describe me, a few years later i find a german metal band with the same name...
[03:46] <daftykins> :D
[03:47] <daftykins> dick und doof
[03:47]  * daftykins runs
[03:47]  * zmoylan-pi trips daftykins 
[03:47] <daftykins> no... no... NOT THE PI!
[03:52] <daftykins> ah nice, he did it already! i'm no longer reg'd to naked wines aus
[03:55] <daftykins> neat he's emailing me XD
[03:58] <zmoylan-pi> go with english is your second language in your responses... :-P
[06:58] <MooDoo> hello all
[07:05] <daftykins> \o
[07:43] <amunizp> o/

[09:17] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:27] <ging> what is the best thing for screen casting on ubuntu these days?
[09:27] <ging> the ubuntu wiki seems out of date
[09:27] <ging> it says xvidcap
[09:28] <ging> but it's not there in 14.04
[09:33] <davmor2> ging: kazaam/recordmydesktop are the two I've used they seem to work
[09:34] <davmor2> popey: did you get home in the end?
[09:35] <ging> thanks davmor2
[09:35] <ging> it's popey's fault, anyway it says he last updated the ubuntu wiki about screen casting
[09:35] <ging> in 2009
[09:36] <ging> i know people who weren't even born then
[09:36] <popey> davmor2: ya
[09:37] <popey> ging: simplesxreenrecorder or vokoscreen
[09:37] <davmor2> popey: thank god for small mercies :)
[09:37] <ging> :( but i've just started installing kazam
[09:38] <ging> can any of them do a specific windows and audio?
[09:39] <davmor2> most can
[09:39] <ging> looks like kazam can
[09:46] <popey> dont use kazam
[09:46] <popey> others are better tgese days
[09:47] <Myrtti> what kind of screencasting?
[09:49] <ging> how many kinds are there?
[09:50] <ging> i'm trying to record what i do on my screen into a video
[09:50] <ging> with audio
[09:50] <ging> i thought that was the only type of screencasting
[09:50] <Myrtti> Internet live (a la Twitch), interactive (a la VNC and friends) and recorded (a la screencapture)
[09:51] <ging> live screen casting seems like a really bad idea
[09:52] <ging> i would need to purge my laptop of all bad things first
[09:52] <Myrtti> well, a lot of gamers do it
[09:53] <ging> do i count as a gamer now if i play a bit of pokemon go?
[09:55] <ging> well turns out i need a new microphone to do it anyway, all this picks up is noise
[09:56] <ging> but kazam seem to be ok for recording
[09:56] <ging> what do the others do better?
[11:41] <SebthreeBQM10HD> 5
[11:46] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[14:31] <diddledan> MORNING! I FEEL LIKE YELLING TODAY
[14:35] <Myrtti> oh dear
[14:37] <diddledan> ello Myrtti
[14:37] <Myrtti> ello ello
[14:37] <diddledan> oh dammit, I didn't yell
[14:37] <diddledan> :-p
[14:38] <davmor2> Myrtti: you forgot the "and what's going on 'ere" bit, you'll never pass for an English copper if you don't use the whole phrases ;)
[14:39] <diddledan> davmor2: that and pissing by the door
[18:11] <diddledan> zootropolis is fun
[18:15] <knightwise> hey diddledan
[18:16] <knightwise> zootropolis or zootopia ?
[18:16] <zmoylan-pi> zoolander isn't bad either...
[18:17] <knightwise> Zoolander i s awe-some
[18:21] <diddledan> zootropolis
[18:21] <diddledan> the recent disney film
[18:25] <knightwise> diddledan: indeed. Great inside jokes, and some pretty strong message in the storyline too
[18:25] <knightwise>  without getting too muchy
[18:31] <diddledan> I love the dual message that anyone can achieve anything AND that we shouldn't discriminate
[18:35] <knightwise> AND the snarky referral to "Frozen"
[18:40] <Thudthrone>  /msg NickServ identify <145?JuiceBox145>
[18:40] <diddledan> oops
[18:40] <Thudthrone> fuck
[18:40] <zmoylan-pi> double whoops
[18:41] <knightwise> Thudthrone: Ouch
[18:41] <knightwise> time to reset that pw
[18:41] <Thudthrone> indeed
[18:41] <knightwise> Would anyone like a juicebox while we wait ? :p
[18:41] <zmoylan-pi> dibs on the itunes account... :-P
[18:42] <Thudthrone> haha luckily i don't re-use pw's for this exact reason
[18:42] <knightwise> Nah :) how bout teh Gmail one
[18:48] <diddledan> Thudthrone: don't feel bad about it. I'm sure it's a common occurrence given the number of servers and respective channels
[18:48] <zmoylan-pi> it is a weakness of irc that you see passwords like that regularly
[18:49] <diddledan> in other musing, that's a pretty impressive password, too
[18:49] <diddledan> aye
[18:49] <diddledan> the problem is it's so easy to accidentally have one or more space characters before the /
[18:50] <ali1234> freenode supports identifying via AUTH so you can just put your password into your irc client. you don't need to msg nickserv
[18:50] <Thudthrone> haha yeah it's a pretty ridiculous method of authentication
[18:50] <diddledan> it'ld be nice if the clients or even servers would protect against it
[18:50] <diddledan> ali1234: you need to know that though, when you register with nickserv it doesn't tell you about it :-(
[18:51] <ali1234> well now you know
[18:51] <zmoylan-pi> an ascii art version of clippy popping up and saying 'it looks like you're about to leak your nickname password, would you like to continue?'
[18:51] <diddledan> I knew anyway. I mean for newcomers
[18:51] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: awesome idea
[18:51] <Thudthrone> i new it was only a matter of time before i messed it up.
[18:53] <diddledan> I'm gonna have to unsubscribe from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573408
[18:54] <diddledan> random folk keep commenting on it saying that it still isn't fixed despite it being so
[18:54] <diddledan> (I've tested on a fully-updated install and everything is normal)
[18:56] <ali1234> it's broken in the installer image. people install then immediately try to install chrome and it fails
[18:57] <diddledan> gotta love linkedin - just got an email about someone starting a forum topic whose title I can only read in a Jamaican accent: "Suggest me Wordpress Theme And Important Plugins to Build E-Commerce Website "
[18:57] <diddledan> I would have expected the .1 release yesterday to have rectified that. maybe it hasn't
[18:57] <ali1234> it should
[19:28] <diddledan> does anyone have multiple monitors and ubuntu 16.04? I recently installed fresh onto this version and can't seem to get the "sticky edges" setting to actually change anything - the switch toggles but the edge between my monitors still catches my mouse
[20:11] <DJones> diddledan: I do, I don't have any problems with sticky edges - Mine was upgrade from 15.10
[20:12] <diddledan> DJones: does toggling the switch change anything?
[20:12] <DJones> Give me a few minutes, will need to go and start the machine up in the office
[20:14] <diddledan> lol, take your time :-)
[20:14] <diddledan> I'm not going anywhere. ever
[20:14]  * diddledan warns
[20:19] <DJones> JUst realised when I booted up, its still on 15.10
[20:20] <DJones> I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.  Upgrading :)
[20:21] <DJones> I'll have a look tomorrow after I've upgraded & let you know
[20:28] <diddledan> \o/
[20:28] <diddledan> upgrades FTW
[20:32] <zmoylan-pi> unless it's windows 10... but that's a given...
[22:56] <diddledan> eesh that snowden movie looks terrible

[23:02]  * daftykins ignored her and still enjoyed it
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> sneakers i really liked too
[23:03] <diddledan> remember risc architecture is going to change everything
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> angelina was right about that
[23:03] <diddledan> except it was johnny that said it
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> all those iphones can't be wrong
[23:04] <diddledan> no you're right
[23:04] <diddledan> johnny just agreed "yeah. risc is good"
[23:05] <diddledan> https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/06/stupid-patent-month-storage-cabinets-computer
[23:06] <zmoylan-pi> gee, none of the filemanagers in last 30 years used a filing cabinet as an icon...
[23:06] <zmoylan-pi> oh wait...

[23:13] <diddledan> for i in $(cat textfile); do wget $i; done
[23:14] <diddledan> or `(while read i; do wget $i; done) < textfile`
[23:14] <diddledan> I think that will do it
[23:16] <zmoylan-pi> better off downloading bash scripting ebooks and getting it running under windows... ditto vim and manuals for same :-)
[23:17] <daftykins> nah i saved the text and did "wget -i file.txt"

[23:26] <zmoylan-pi> we should get the band back together... ::reaches for sunglasses::
[23:27] <zmoylan-pi> we're on a mission for linus...
[23:28] <daftykins> i'd prefer Tux
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> tux is in black and white outfit... that would work...
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> we're on a misson for tux...
[23:34] <daftykins> wget -i file.txt --trust-server-names # even
[23:43] <zmoylan-pi> a lot of llamas wandering about the room tonight...
