daftykinsgood morning folks07:11
ducassemorning daftykins - how are you?07:20
daftykinsall good here thanks, how's you this morn?07:22
ducassegood, thanks. clinging to a big cup of tea :)07:22
daftykinsooh nice :> mines already empty and in the dishwasher!07:24
ducassei constantly refill mine, dare not run out :)07:25
daftykins:D07:28
daftykinschecking out some skate shoes online right now, they're my preferred weaponry for cycling07:30
* ducasse does not have a bike, unfortunately07:32
daftykinsD:07:35
daftykins*gasp*07:35
daftykins:) ah i love them myself, could never be without07:35
ducassecan't afford one i'd actually want, myself.07:36
daftykinsoh? you lean toward the premium end? :)07:36
ducassewell, at least decent medium. i hate crappy bikes, worse than not having one at all imo.07:39
daftykins*nod* definitely last longer at the premium end07:41
ducasseand *so* much nicer to ride.07:41
daftykinsyip07:42
daftykinsmy old man has apparently said no to us redoing his 70s bike frame for his 60th birthday, so he wants a mountain bike sorted instead07:43
daftykinshe's quite fond of my old bike frame, a Marin Nail Trail from 1999 - but every single component on that bike is knackered, so it's not economical to fix up sadly :(07:43
daftykinsplus it had an ugly mix of rear rim brake and front disc07:43
ducassei was thinking of buying something cheap but decent, but no money now...07:45
daftykinsi got a 'cheap' secondary bike a bit ago, it was still worth £500+ - it has hydraulic brakes but only Avid Juicy 3s, the difference is night and day versus the Juicy 7 ultimates on my high end bike07:46
OerHeksmeurning guys07:48
daftykinshi sir o/07:49
OerHeksI just gave away this old bike https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6885560/2016-fietsje-3.JPG07:51
OerHeksubuntu fan comes to pick him up07:51
OerHeksi got him for free too, but the tires are expensive, tubeless07:52
OerHeksno i like to ride this baby https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6885560/2016mountainbike.JPG07:53
daftykinsooh tubeless, alien territory to me :)07:53
daftykins:D so clean!07:54
OerHeksdownside about mountainbikes is the rain, you'll get a wet behind07:54
daftykinsmmm, can get yourself a little flap though07:55
daftykinswow heavy rain here07:55
OerHeksi have one, not attached right now07:56
daftykinsmight get new tires in the post today :O08:02
daftykinswell, best get the ball rolling on more work i suppose08:20
ducassejesus - i just looked at some bike prices, that was utterly depressing :(08:20
daftykinswhat sort of discipline machines are you looking at?08:21
OerHeksI think i am not going to tell you what i paid for my bike, and no, it is not stolen :-D08:22
ducassei'm not sure, that's part of the problem, but everything that looks ok'ish is horribly priced.08:22
daftykinswell we're all adults - my Specialized Epic Expert was £1,90008:22
ducasseyes, that's about a digit too much for me to even consider.08:23
daftykinswell, it's 8 years old and still hasn't needed the gears touched :>08:23
daftykinstook that one to Wales for some downhill08:23
ducasseat least i saved some money by putting a spare ssd in this laptop instead of getting a new one :)08:25
daftykins:D08:27
ducasseput a minimal ubuntu install on it, and it's a lot nicer now.08:29
OerHekswhat size ssd? 32 gb?08:32
ducasse120gb, but it's a really not-very-good kingston.08:32
OerHeksoh, my previous ssd ( still have it as spare)  is 60 gb, big enough for a full install08:34
ducasseyes, disk space was not the concern here, i want the minimum amount of processes going and taking up memory.08:35
OerHeksand i still have 2x2gb ddr2 sodimms, looking for an empty laptop that is worth running08:35
ducassei want to upgrade mine to 8gb, would like to run a few containers.08:36
daftykins:)08:37
daftykinsthe new Deus Ex game was using 9GB of the 32GB in my new desktop recently08:37
daftykinswoot the new tires are here \o/08:38
ducasseyay :)08:38
daftykinsi can pop the downhill ones off and give these a spin08:38
ducassei'm waiting for the access point, will probably get here wednesday.08:38
OerHeksducasse, next time you are in NL, bring an empty truck please ...08:44
OerHeks:-D08:44
OerHekspeople trowing desktops, lcd screens, tv's, dvd's away like empty soda cans08:45
OerHeks...what crisis?08:45
ducassehere too, it's crazy.08:45
OerHeksnow i am looking for a blueray player with 5.1 boxes ... i will have it before xmas i hope08:46
OerHeksor a galaxy note 708:48
ducassebright side, i guess :)08:48
BluesKaj_howdy folks11:42
daftykins\o11:58
daftykinshrmm just tried out android pay for the first time in a local supermarket, but it appears the NFC part of this phone does not work...11:58
daftykinsok solved it, the NFC antenna isn't meeting the board properly, squeezing my phone case makes it work ;)12:02
BluesKaj_Hey daftykins..NFC?12:17
daftykinsBluesKaj_: near field communication, it's the stuff that android pay and contactless cards work with, also the chip in passports12:23
daftykinsyesss solved it :D12:24
daftykinsi put some of my super thin double sided adhesive underneath the connector on the rear casing, works now - https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/FffOOXKKNNbCEdx212:25
BluesKaj_oh right ...still use a debit card to pay, guess Im a luddite :-)12:25
daftykinsyeah mines a debit :> although we've had chip and PIN enforced for years over here of course12:25
daftykinsyou can see the 4 contacts of the NFC area (with the 4 silver circles) at the upper edge12:25
BluesKaj_we have a tap option here with the debit card, just place card chip on the reader and itś instant , no fooling with KBs etc on the reader12:30
OerHekshi BluesKaj_12:30
daftykinsyeah that's the same tech, 'contactless payment' as it's known, however i doubt its' security, so won't be using that12:30
BluesKaj_Hi OerHeks12:30
OerHeksi disabled that contactless payments on my card, i don't want to be swiped12:30
OerHeksand don't want an iron creditcard-case12:31
daftykinshow'd you do that? wipe it?12:31
OerHeksmaybe some smart guy invents a machine that scans your pocket12:33
OerHeksI can turn it off online12:34
daftykinsoh neat, i'll have to hassle my bank to employ that12:34
daftykinssadly we're the 'offshore' portion of the same banks in the UK, so often can't discuss the accounts over there12:35
OerHeksthese are funny http://www.boredpanda.com/comedy-wildlife-photography-awards-shortlist-2016/12:41
