| daftykins | \o | 10:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 10:56 |
| daftykins | hmm i have broken VDPAU on my old retired HTPC and can't work out what's up | 10:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | but if it's retired, does it matter? | 10:57 |
| daftykins | yeah, 'cause i have a few the same up at a clients, so i'm using mine as the guinea pig for a fresh install | 10:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | so... not quiet retired then... | 10:57 |
| daftykins | well it was for me :> i brought it down from the shelf of abandonment! | 10:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | no no, the shelf of abandonment is one step up from floor of despair which is itself one step up from centre of recycling... | 10:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | it still had a ways to go before retirement... | 10:59 |
| daftykins | i feel like it's as simple as the right lib in the wrong place but i've no idea what's meant to be where | 11:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah... debugging stuff that's so old its considered obsolete... it's like archeology... you need a hat and a whip to fight off the dust bunnies | 11:03 |
| daftykins | it's actually current on all software, it's just VDPAU broken | 11:05 |

| diddledan | this year refuses to quit! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37957088 | 13:59 |
| popey | yeah :( | 14:05 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/6xsl6mjebh1a7ar/20161111_140640_resized.jpg?dl=0 client just phoned from down in Spain, the guys installed non waterproof MDF skirting boards - that's what happens when they get wet | 15:10 |
| diddledan | daftykins: dang | 16:27 |
| diddledan | that looks bad | 16:27 |
| daftykins | pretty bad workmanship indeedy | 16:27 |
| daftykins | wooden floors, so you could just mop once and see the whole lot expanding | 16:27 |
| daftykins | like a diddled mac ;D | 16:28 |
| daftykins | o0 | 16:54 |
| popey | ouch | 16:55 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: That's pretty impressive | 16:57 |
| daftykins | i'm impressed with how he managed to discover that they're wrong | 16:59 |
| foobarry | went for an eye test today. "and when was your last test sir". ermmmm, i haven't had one before | 17:43 |
| diddledan | why isn;t the drink bourbon made of bourbon biscuits? | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | foobarry: Did you find the need? | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | diddledan: Or indeed the other way around? | 17:44 |
| diddledan | I really need to do an eye test, too. it's been 4 years since my last confession. | 17:45 |
| foobarry | i'm in my 40s and my mum has glaucoma , and so did my dad | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | ah | 17:45 |
| foobarry | and i've been getting (perhaps smartphone induced) eyeball pains | 17:45 |
| diddledan | I make 34 in March | 17:46 |
| foobarry | i was reading the lines | 17:46 |
| penguin42 | foobarry: So they tried to do the puff-test pressure stuff on you? | 17:46 |
| foobarry | trying to do the bottom one | 17:46 |
| foobarry | yep, photos of eyeball etc | 17:46 |
| foobarry | managed to read the bottom line.. | 17:46 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 17:46 |
| foobarry | then she said the top one was the 20/20 vision one | 17:46 |
| diddledan | I can't do that even with lenses | 17:46 |
| foobarry | turns out my eyeballs are fine | 17:46 |
| * penguin42 hates that pressure test; they normally have to try 3 or 4 times | 17:46 | |
| foobarry | however the muscles get tired sometimes | 17:47 |
| foobarry | i probably need a bigger phone next time or to use it less | 17:47 |
| daftykins | penguin42: ah yeah that's annoying | 17:47 |
| foobarry | i don't need glasses yet but as the years roll on, i will inevitably need reading glasses | 17:47 |
| daftykins | i used to get made to do the peripheral vision dome test which used to run from floppy, ouch | 17:47 |
| diddledan | daftykins: floppy?! | 17:48 |
| * diddledan flops | 17:48 | |
| foobarry | she looked inside my eyeball with a torch which was a bit intimate | 17:48 |
| foobarry | her face about 1inc from mine | 17:48 |
| Myrtti | my eyesight is actually getting better as I'm getting older | 17:48 |
| penguin42 | foobarry: Oh yeh you get to know your opticians forehead well | 17:48 |
| daftykins | diddledan: don't copy that! | 17:48 |
| daftykins | that's when you hope both of you have good breath | 17:49 |
| foobarry | Myrtti: long->short crossover? | 17:49 |
| diddledan | I've got a floater in one of my eyes. I notice it when I look down and then back-up occasionally | 17:50 |
| foobarry | the funny thing is my wife came into the optician with me. | 17:50 |
| foobarry | because she didn't really trust me to actually go ahead | 17:50 |
| diddledan | foobarry: bless her. she must like you :-) | 17:50 |
| foobarry | because i'd waited 41 years before having one | 17:51 |
| foobarry | its not quite dentist levels of scary but i was apprenshive of hearing something permanent | 17:51 |
| * penguin42 is really going to have to do a dentist sometime | 17:52 | |
| * diddledan keeps quiet about doing dentists | 17:52 | |
| foobarry | i did that last month | 17:52 |
| foobarry | 2016 is my year of getting things done | 17:52 |
| foobarry | even bought new mattresses for the bed and bought a piano | 17:52 |
| diddledan | I need a whole new bed | 17:53 |
| penguin42 | foobarry: Lets just put it this way; I've put off dentists as long as you've put off eye tests | 17:53 |
| foobarry | oof | 17:53 |
| foobarry | i would have no face left | 17:53 |
| * penguin42 isn't sure he has much | 17:53 | |
| daftykins | i had a reminder card from mine actually, hmm | 17:55 |
| diddledan | my sister is in the strictly come dancing audience tonight | 19:01 |
| daftykins | ooh-err | 19:01 |
| daftykins | can't stand such types o' TV :P | 19:01 |

| zmoylan-pi | i was once a phone a friend on irelands version of who wants to be a millionaire... but the person chose a different person when he used his phone a friend | 19:16 |
| daftykins | ! | 19:16 |
| daftykins | did they then lose? ) | 19:16 |
| daftykins | * :) | 19:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | yes, and i knew the answer to the question that was asked... | 19:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | where is the rosetta stone? 1) new york, 2) london, 3) paris, 4) cairo | 19:17 |
| diddledan | cairo | 19:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | after the british took it off napolean? your museum will never give it up for that alone | 19:19 |
| diddledan | it belongs to the world | 19:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | absolutely but it will always sit in a british museum | 19:20 |
| Myrtti | I cried when I first saw it in London | 19:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | and now with 3d scanning and 3d printing soon any museum will be able to knock up a replica | 19:21 |
| daftykins | at a stone? | 19:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | it represents science and knowledge recreating our ability to understand a dead language. a real achievement | 19:24 |
| diddledan | a famous person once said "Human knowledge belongs to the world." | 19:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | then we invented copyrights... | 19:24 |
| diddledan | he also said "This isn't a game! In the real world, when you kill people they die—for real!" | 19:24 |
| Gargoyle | Any kernel compilers online? | 21:27 |
| penguin42 | people? programs? shell scripts? | 21:27 |
| Gargoyle | people! :-) | 21:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | shell scripts are programs too!! :-) | 21:27 |
| Gargoyle | Getting an error from editconfigs, and google is a black hole | 21:28 |
| penguin42 | and the error is? | 21:28 |
| Gargoyle | gisting..... | 21:29 |
| Gargoyle | https://gist.github.com/gargoyle/00adfb96a6ca61cde547e4c5310f2651 | 21:29 |
| penguin42 | oh, easy | 21:30 |
| penguin42 | install libncurses-devel | 21:30 |
| penguin42 | you're missing the curses.h header | 21:30 |
| Gargoyle | libcurses-acaml-dev ? | 21:31 |
| penguin42 | sorry, it's libncurses-dev on ubuntu (possibly libncurses5-dev) | 21:31 |
| penguin42 | no, not acaml | 21:32 |
| Gargoyle | I don't get that as an option (touble tapping tab) | 21:32 |
| Gargoyle | *double | 21:32 |
| penguin42 | what distro and version are you on? | 21:33 |
| Gargoyle | 16.10 | 21:33 |
| penguin42 | you don't have libncurses5-dev ? | 21:34 |
| penguin42 | (wth apt-cache search curses.h is just listing ncurses-hexedit) | 21:34 |
| Gargoyle | normal ubuntu | 21:36 |
| Gargoyle | and apparently, 0% battery! | 21:36 |
| penguin42 | pedal faster! | 21:36 |
| Gargoyle | damn this retina display... missed the "n" | 21:37 |
| daftykins | ugh macs | 21:38 |
| Gargoyle | hmmm | 21:38 |
| Gargoyle | Seems to be working now... thanks! :-) | 21:39 |
| Gargoyle | Maybe I'll find some stuff to make this mac better! ;-) | 21:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | can you install os/2 on a mac? :-) | 21:39 |
| daftykins | that one looked mighty google-able by the way Gargoyle | 21:39 |
| Gargoyle | ha ha | 21:40 |
| daftykins | no i'm serious | 21:41 |
| penguin42 | Gargoyle: So if you ever find something saying it's missing a header just find which package has the header | 21:41 |
| Gargoyle | penguin42: will do | 21:42 |
| * diddledan googles daftykins | 21:53 | |
| diddledan | Quite hard. | 21:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's irc, you're supposed to bing him... | 21:54 |
| diddledan | https://youtu.be/bbpztC6GHqw | 21:56 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure I've ever googled with bing | 21:56 |
| diddledan | If you're never seen him, scott hanselman from microsoft does fun presentations/talks about .net | 21:57 |
| diddledan | You've** | 21:57 |
| * diddledan googles zmoylan-pi with bing | 21:59 | |
| * zmoylan-pi sets gopher with rabies on diddledan | 22:00 | |
| diddledan | :-( | 22:00 |
| diddledan | Sadface | 22:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | thank goodness it's been eliminated in uk and ireland... | 22:01 |
| diddledan | Gophers? | 22:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | rabies | 22:02 |
| diddledan | Aha | 22:02 |
| * diddledan gophers zmoylan-pi with nutscrape 1.0 | 22:02 | |
| zmoylan-pi | took a few years over 100 years ago iirc | 22:02 |
| diddledan | Netscape few | 22:03 |
| diddledan | Ftw | 22:03 |
| diddledan | Netscape is gonna beat microsoft | 22:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | i kept using netscape 4.something or other long after they stopped development | 22:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | well when they released their code as open source it did help spur the development of firefox... which broke ms's lock on the browser market | 22:05 |
| diddledan | Firefox still uses the ns prefix on all it's function names | 22:05 |
| diddledan | Not to be confused with Apple's ns prefix | 22:06 |
| daftykins | g'night \o | 22:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | see, i told you bing would work :-) | 22:10 |
| diddledan | I got an email from mozilla yesterday saying they're working on big things for firefox called "quantum" | 22:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | it jumps into the body of other browsers? oh boy... | 22:11 |
| diddledan | Haha | 22:11 |
| brobostigon | could someone higlight me please. | 22:33 |
| diddledan | brobostigon: no | 22:34 |
| brobostigon | thank diddledan :) | 22:34 |
| brobostigon | thanks* | 22:34 |
| diddledan | I said no | 22:35 |
| diddledan | Oh, dammit | 22:35 |
| diddledan | :-p | 22:35 |
| diddledan | You tricked me! | 22:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | don't tell him your name diddledan | 22:36 |
| brobostigon | :) | 22:37 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: you mean dan? | 22:40 |
| diddledan | Oh ffs | 22:40 |
| brmbrmcar | play nicely now | 22:40 |
| diddledan | brmbrmcar: they keep tricking me! :-( | 22:41 |
