[00:12] eesh [00:12] this "xen" fella doing the rounds on various ubuntu mailing lists seems to have a vendetta [00:14] anywho, I'm off to bed. nn [00:16] o0 [00:16] \o [03:22] hi all [03:24] \o [03:24] a bloody Aussie with the same name as me has bought wine and signed up my personal email to it! [03:25] :) [03:25] debating how unpleasant to be [03:27] hah [03:32] gonna phone him :) got a # here on the account [03:35] i'm still getting junk email from america [03:36] after the job search they moved on to get rich quick schemes, and then gambling websites :/ [03:36] ooh [03:36] you can almost feel the desperation [03:38] just heard the guys message saying my name as his in an aussie accent! [03:39] imagine if it turned out google had a bug, and actually loads of people had the same email address [03:40] 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] 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] 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] the only time i ever did that is when someone posted a craigslist "personals" ad using my email [03:43] oof [03:46] 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] :D [03:47] dick und doof [03:47] * daftykins runs [03:47] * zmoylan-pi trips daftykins [03:47] no... no... NOT THE PI! [03:52] ah nice, he did it already! i'm no longer reg'd to naked wines aus [03:55] neat he's emailing me XD [03:58] go with english is your second language in your responses... :-P === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi === mappps is now known as mapps [06:58] hello all [07:05] \o [07:43] o/ [07:43] gm [07:47] Morning all === corenominal is now known as icorenominal === icorenominal is now known as corenominal [08:24] Morning all [08:26] \o [08:36] Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Junk Food Day! 😃 🍔 🍟 [08:36] awww and i'm fresh out :( [08:38] JamesTait: just remember you did this to yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pgPq4FGWfk [08:40] JamesTait: this one might redeem though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK3ZP6frAMc cinema junk food :) [09:17] morning boys and girls. === pbx is now known as Waggott14 [09:27] what is the best thing for screen casting on ubuntu these days? [09:27] the ubuntu wiki seems out of date [09:27] it says xvidcap [09:28] but it's not there in 14.04 [09:33] ging: kazaam/recordmydesktop are the two I've used they seem to work [09:34] popey: did you get home in the end? [09:35] thanks davmor2 [09:35] it's popey's fault, anyway it says he last updated the ubuntu wiki about screen casting [09:35] in 2009 [09:36] i know people who weren't even born then [09:36] davmor2: ya [09:37] ging: simplesxreenrecorder or vokoscreen [09:37] popey: thank god for small mercies :) [09:37] :( but i've just started installing kazam [09:38] can any of them do a specific windows and audio? [09:39] most can [09:39] looks like kazam can [09:46] dont use kazam [09:46] others are better tgese days [09:47] what kind of screencasting? [09:49] how many kinds are there? [09:50] i'm trying to record what i do on my screen into a video [09:50] with audio [09:50] i thought that was the only type of screencasting [09:50] Internet live (a la Twitch), interactive (a la VNC and friends) and recorded (a la screencapture) [09:51] live screen casting seems like a really bad idea [09:52] i would need to purge my laptop of all bad things first [09:52] well, a lot of gamers do it [09:53] do i count as a gamer now if i play a bit of pokemon go? [09:55] well turns out i need a new microphone to do it anyway, all this picks up is noise [09:56] but kazam seem to be ok for recording [09:56] what do the others do better? [11:41] 5 [11:46] hi === pavlushka is now known as Guest80334 [14:31] MORNING! I FEEL LIKE YELLING TODAY [14:35] oh dear [14:37] ello Myrtti [14:37] ello ello [14:37] oh dammit, I didn't yell [14:37] :-p [14:38] 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] davmor2: that and pissing by the door [18:11] zootropolis is fun [18:15] hey diddledan [18:16] zootropolis or zootopia ? [18:16] zoolander isn't bad either... [18:17] Zoolander i s awe-some [18:21] zootropolis [18:21] the recent disney film [18:25] diddledan: indeed. Great inside jokes, and some pretty strong message in the storyline too [18:25] without getting too muchy [18:31] I love the dual message that anyone can achieve anything AND that we shouldn't discriminate [18:35] AND the snarky referral to "Frozen" [18:40] /msg NickServ identify <145?JuiceBox145> [18:40] oops [18:40] fuck [18:40] double whoops [18:41] Thudthrone: Ouch [18:41] time to reset that pw [18:41] indeed [18:41] Would anyone like a juicebox while we wait ? :p [18:41] dibs on the itunes account... :-P [18:42] haha luckily i don't re-use pw's for this exact reason [18:42] Nah :) how bout teh Gmail one [18:48] 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] it is a weakness of irc that you see passwords like that regularly [18:49] in other musing, that's a pretty impressive password, too [18:49] aye [18:49] the problem is it's so easy to accidentally have one or more space characters before the / [18:50] 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] haha yeah it's a pretty ridiculous method of authentication [18:50] it'ld be nice if the clients or even servers would protect against it [18:50] ali1234: you need to know that though, when you register with nickserv it doesn't tell you about it :-( [18:51] well now you know [18:51] 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] I knew anyway. I mean for newcomers [18:51] zmoylan-pi: awesome idea [18:51] i new it was only a matter of time before i messed it up. [18:53] I'm gonna have to unsubscribe from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573408 [18:53] Ubuntu bug 1573408 in gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) "GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages" [High,Fix released] [18:54] random folk keep commenting on it saying that it still isn't fixed despite it being so [18:54] (I've tested on a fully-updated install and everything is normal) [18:56] it's broken in the installer image. people install then immediately try to install chrome and it fails [18:57] 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] I would have expected the .1 release yesterday to have rectified that. maybe it hasn't [18:57] it should [19:28] 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] diddledan: I do, I don't have any problems with sticky edges - Mine was upgrade from 15.10 [20:12] DJones: does toggling the switch change anything? [20:12] Give me a few minutes, will need to go and start the machine up in the office [20:14] lol, take your time :-) [20:14] I'm not going anywhere. ever [20:14] * diddledan warns [20:19] JUst realised when I booted up, its still on 15.10 [20:20] I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Upgrading :) [20:21] I'll have a look tomorrow after I've upgraded & let you know [20:28] \o/ [20:28] upgrades FTW [20:32] unless it's windows 10... but that's a given...
