| foobarry | i installed neverware on a laptop but didn't really get on with it | 09:52 |
| foobarry | i felt too exposed | 09:52 |
| foobarry | and uncomfortable about tying my gmail account so closely to a device | 09:52 |
| === Darkstar is now known as Guest37590 | ||

| daftykins | i think it's about supermoon time in an hour | 12:37 |
| daftykins | i strolled out last night to see how it was coming along - the patch of sky it was in was so bright it looked like a blue sky in just a single patch - http://i.imgur.com/bolYEhH.jpg | 12:38 |

| ali1234 | Wat | 12:54 |
| foobarry | channel4 sucky iplayer ripoff | 12:55 |
| ali1234 | Who here is on a train | 12:55 |
| daftykins | so it's not really the service but that you're trying to use it from Linux as usual :> | 12:55 |
| foobarry | wel;l it took 10 mins to login | 12:55 |
| foobarry | then realised i need flash | 12:55 |
| foobarry | then adblocker disabling | 12:55 |
| foobarry | then it still doesn't work | 12:55 |
| ali1234 | Theres a guy on this train with ubuntu laptop, ubuntu tablet, and ubuntu phone and hes writing an ubuntu app with qt creator and the ubuntu sdk | 12:56 |
| foobarry | not me | 12:56 |
| foobarry | does he have a beard | 12:56 |
| foobarry | and black tshirt | 12:56 |
| ali1234 | No | 12:56 |
| foobarry | does not sound legit | 12:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | is there a secret ubuntu handshake? | 12:57 |
| foobarry | yes | 12:57 |
| ali1234 | Yes but i dont know it | 12:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's because it's secret | 12:57 |
| foobarry | https://ubuntunigeria.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/ubuntu_610.jpg?w=460 | 12:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | if you can manage that on a train then kudos... | 12:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | looks like it would involve touching the floor of the train.. | 12:59 |
| ali1234 | Its relatively clean i am in 1st class | 12:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | oooooh, posh.... | 13:00 |
| foobarry | shoulder surf his github repo? | 13:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | then call the concierge and get a formal introduction... :-P | 13:00 |
| foobarry | check in ubuntu-phone channel? | 13:00 |
| ali1234 | Or i could packet sniff the wifi | 13:00 |
| daftykins | i never understood why anyone bothered to pay for 1st | 13:01 |
| daftykins | or you know, you could be a human being and introduce yourself... | 13:01 |
| foobarry | via irc | 13:01 |
| ali1234 | You get a free cup of tea and you dont stick to the seats | 13:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | are they wearing one of those talk to me badges handed out on the tube? | 13:02 |
| daftykins | heh i just got a letter from the local gov warning me they're considering road resurfacing nearby... in November 2017 | 13:03 |
| foobarry | colleague is kicking the desk in time to music. tad annoying | 13:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | well they have to chuck out the traffic cones and diversion signs 6 months before actually doing the work... :-) | 13:03 |
| daftykins | :D it's a funny little street down here that should really just be pedestrianised same as the high street | 13:04 |
| daftykins | which it leads onto | 13:05 |
| popey | ali1234: where in the world is this train? | 13:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | if they did that then people wouldn't be able to abandon their cars there when they want to go to the predestrianised area... | 13:06 |
| popey | flexiondotorg: are you on a train right now? :) | 13:06 |
| ali1234 | Uts not flexion i know what he looks like | 13:09 |
| popey | ok | 13:09 |
| popey | describe them :) | 13:09 |
| foobarry | is it creepy to ask for a hpoto | 13:09 |
| ali1234 | Lol | 13:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | he's in first class, he can get an official engraving of the passengers for a small fee... | 13:10 |
| ali1234 | Er... Hes got brown hair? | 13:11 |
| * daftykins facepalms | 13:12 | |
| ali1234 | Looks like a developer | 13:12 |
| foobarry | but no beard? | 13:12 |
| foobarry | pny tail? | 13:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | shoes or sandals? how serious a developer.... :-) | 13:12 |
| foobarry | rms tattoo? | 13:12 |
| ali1234 | No, developer not sysadmin | 13:12 |
| foobarry | suit? | 13:13 |
| popey | wonder if it's a canonical person or not | 13:13 |
| popey | we have a bunch of UK based people | 13:13 |
| Laney | eliminate them all one by one | 13:13 |
| foobarry | change your text notification to the ubuntu bongos and ask someone to text you | 13:13 |
| popey | well, I suspect it's not you Laney :) | 13:14 |
| Laney | #1: it's not me | 13:14 |
| popey | #2: It's not me | 13:14 |
| willcooke | My money is on chrisccoulson | 13:14 |
| popey | (this may take a while) | 13:14 |
| popey | ali1234: is it a monster size laptop? | 13:14 |
| daftykins | only if speaking is disallowed | 13:14 |
| ali1234 | A bit | 13:14 |
| popey | like, not a lightweight thing like a macbook, but a chunky big battery thing | 13:14 |
| ali1234 | Nah | 13:14 |
| popey | oh, is it plugged in? if so, deffo chris, his battery is knackered | 13:15 |
| foobarry | play this out loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qd_CX01sYg | 13:15 |
| ali1234 | No | 13:15 |
| popey | oooh | 13:15 |
| ali1234 | Also i know what he looks like too | 13:15 |
| ali1234 | I think | 13:15 |
| popey | This is the best game ever | 13:16 |
| popey | "Nerd guess who" | 13:16 |
| foobarry | glasses? | 13:16 |
| ali1234 | No | 13:16 |
| chrisccoulson | it's not me either ;) | 13:16 |
| popey | haha | 13:16 |
| willcooke | boo | 13:16 |
| foobarry | below 35? | 13:16 |
| ali1234 | Probably but i am terrible at guessing ages | 13:17 |
| popey | facial hair? | 13:17 |
| ali1234 | No | 13:17 |
| popey | pete woods maybe | 13:17 |
| Laney | get a peek at the app | 13:17 |
| ali1234 | It looks like a physics sim with boxes in 2d | 13:18 |
| popey | ooh, dan wood | 13:18 |
| popey | community guy | 13:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | you should use avatar software to make a model of the person instead of taking a pic... :-) | 13:18 |
| popey | https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FyzqhiMH0oB8a76wMARxeI65vc_RAABiP-xSMb_K0S7Vw78W6d_wgQW1__yZh2iRpkHuvtYO1RQ=w2324-h1307-rw-no | 13:19 |
| popey | him? | 13:19 |
| ali1234 | No | 13:19 |
| popey | dammit | 13:19 |
| popey | make/model of laptop? | 13:20 |
| ali1234 | Hp | 13:21 |
| popey | https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/U0-8Ie1cyBuOVR0A3raTraVf5Y7OnDKqBWByIWz1F0o=s630-fcrop64=1,202b2ec9dfa0d135 maybe? | 13:21 |
| foobarry | does he look like anyone else we might know? | 13:22 |
| ali1234 | That might actually be him | 13:23 |
| * popey asks him | 13:23 | |
| popey | he said it's not | 13:25 |
| Laney | haha | 13:25 |
| daftykins | * guy packs up and dives off the moving train | 13:26 |
| Laney | people that look similar to pete woods ... | 13:26 |
| ali1234 | He actually did get up and walk down the train | 13:26 |
| popey | did he leave his laptop? | 13:26 |
| popey | (user name on login screen) :D | 13:26 |
| ali1234 | Yes but hes back now | 13:26 |
| popey | bah | 13:26 |
| ali1234 | He closed it | 13:27 |
| popey | Obviously it would be far too easy to just ask him :) | 13:27 |
| foobarry | any stickers on the laptop? | 13:27 |
| popey | "Hello, we're playing a game" :) | 13:27 |
| ali1234 | Ew hes signing in to outlook web app | 13:27 |
| foobarry | corporate dude | 13:27 |
| ali1234 | Not canonical then i guess | 13:27 |
| foobarry | maybe he's a stuedent at a uni | 13:27 |
| foobarry | or phd | 13:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | might be required by a workplace/college | 13:27 |
| ali1234 | Could be | 13:27 |
| Laney | try and read the username | 13:27 |
| Laney | I wonder when this crosses a line | 13:28 |
| Laney | probably at trying to read text on his screen | 13:28 |
| diplo | About 10 mins ago :D | 13:28 |
| daftykins | ^ | 13:28 |
| daftykins | it has for a while now - i'd almost rather join a US politics channel | 13:28 |
| Laney | :D | 13:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | when you use liquid nitrogen to freeze his ram so that you can read it? :-P | 13:28 |
| diplo | hahah | 13:28 |
| foobarry | is it mark shuttleworth in disguise? | 13:28 |
| diplo | Just walk over to the guy and introduce yourself, I've had people do it to me before | 13:28 |
| diplo | We're a nice bunch | 13:28 |
| foobarry | hey nice phone | 13:28 |
| Laney | could be rms though | 13:29 |
| foobarry | which ubuntu phone model is it? | 13:29 |
| ali1234 | It might get awkward since i dont actually use ubuntu any more... | 13:29 |
| ali1234 | Dunno its in a case | 13:29 |
| diplo | Wireshark it is then... :P | 13:30 |
| foobarry | will arp tell you his laptop name? | 13:31 |
| ali1234 | I sunno ii only have an android tablet on me anyway | 13:31 |
| foobarry | termux ! | 13:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | termux is quite good | 13:32 |
| foobarry | you will have to ask at some point to satisfy curiosity of 30 geeks in irc | 13:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | i like to think it's a good sign that a random geek on a train doesn't know every member of a small community... | 13:38 |
| popey | Indeed | 13:39 |
| flexiondotorg | popey, No, why? | 13:39 |
| foobarry | how many ubuntu phones have been sold? | 13:39 |
| daftykins | 42 | 13:40 |
| foobarry | which is joey OMG so butthurt about ubuntu phones? | 13:41 |
| * daftykins wonders what foobarry means | 13:41 | |
| foobarry | some twitter comments he's mae about ubuntu phone have been very snarky | 13:42 |
| daftykins | who? | 13:42 |
| foobarry | joey from OMGubtunutntu | 13:42 |
| ali1234 | Its kind of hard to say anything about it without sounding snarky tbh | 13:43 |
| popey | flexiondotorg: nvm :) | 13:44 |
| popey | foobarry: didn't know he was specifically snarky about ubuntu phone. | 13:44 |
| foobarry | i'll find an exmaple | 13:44 |
| popey | he is of course entitled to his opinion :) | 13:45 |
| foobarry | https://twitter.com/omgubuntu/status/793091533805412354 | 13:46 |
| foobarry | of course. it seems personal though | 13:46 |
| ali1234 | Is he not makinng a joke about everyone saying its dead all the time? | 13:47 |
| foobarry | not from his previous comments | 13:47 |
| ali1234 | There like a post every day on redsit saying is it dead? | 13:47 |
| foobarry | there is a tone to any phone comments he makes that sound quite anti. prehaps he didn't get a review copy and bore a grudge. i dunno | 13:49 |
| ali1234 | Maybe it just sucks | 13:50 |
| foobarry | the amount of youtube videos i've seen that get a battery pop up "5 mins remaining" | 13:51 |
| ali1234 | I was not impressed tbh | 13:51 |
| foobarry | and i'm looking at the time left. are they gonna finish before shutdown? | 13:51 |
| ali1234 | Battery life seemed okay to me | 13:52 |
| foobarry | sorry i changed track already. i was just watching a video by a kid on his laptop | 13:52 |
| foobarry | he got the battery popup about 30secs into the vid | 13:52 |
| ali1234 | Lol | 13:52 |
| popey | foobarry: that seems like humour to me :) | 13:53 |
| ali1234 | If the battery ran out before they finiahed they wouldnt be able to up | 13:53 |
| ali1234 | Load it | 13:53 |
| foobarry | popey: in isolation but not in context of other offthe cuff comments he makes | 13:54 |
| popey | Fair enough | 13:54 |
| foobarry | i think he has a column in LXF this month | 13:54 |
| foobarry | shame about linux voice | 13:54 |
| foobarry | i find LXF and others so formulaic. | 13:54 |
| ali1234 | Linux voice makes me think of the scientist from simpsons | 13:55 |
| foobarry | "you insensitive clod!" | 13:55 |
| foobarry | it does sound a bit like an activist political wing too | 13:56 |
| popey | it had a stupid name before voice. can't recall what it was though | 13:57 |
| ali1234 | Linux is just a terrible topic to have to make a mag about | 13:57 |
| daftykins | of a newspaper column | 13:58 |
| ali1234 | Youre nwver going to get a scoop because everything is done in pub | 13:58 |
| daftykins | *or | 13:58 |
| ali1234 | Iic | 13:58 |
| ali1234 | So the news swction is always going to be a month out of date | 13:58 |
| ali1234 | That leaves ... Tutorials? | 13:58 |
| daftykins | yep badly written little guides that are outdated within say, 2 months :D | 13:59 |
| ali1234 | Depends on the topic but if, say, you can write 12 really good tutorials for a series you could just publish it as a book instead | 14:00 |
| foobarry | the trouble with magazines is that they are often written by pseuds rather than experts | 14:00 |
| ali1234 | Still better than blogs | 14:01 |
| foobarry | here's an article about "screen". but it goes into enough detail for a beginner and nothing else | 14:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | great bathroom reading if the wifi is weak or the battery is knackered :-) | 14:01 |
| ali1234 | They could review commercial softqare... Lol | 14:02 |
| ali1234 | That qould go down well i am sure | 14:02 |
| ali1234 | Although that is probably exactly what linux needs | 14:03 |
| ali1234 | There ia loads of commercial software for linux that nobody knows about | 14:03 |
| foobarry | although i like reading, i didn't have the strength to read a board game instructions and rules the other day so i wen to on youtube for someone to explain to me how to play it | 14:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | ali1234 must have gone into a tunnel :-) | 14:40 |
| foobarry | or bludgeoned for stalking | 14:41 |
| foobarry | or trying to get a photo | 14:41 |
| popey | foobarry: I do the same for things like fixing my washing machine. way easier to watch someone else take it apart than read the manual | 14:42 |
| foobarry | the board game in question was scotland yard | 14:42 |
| foobarry | quite fun. reminds me of the adventure game on BBC2 in the 80s | 14:42 |
| popey | oh that one that's on humble bundle | 14:42 |
| foobarry | yes, i have it irl too | 14:42 |
| foobarry | i also have lord of the rings risk | 14:43 |
| foobarry | which i have never opened. | 14:43 |
| foobarry | my wife actually wanted to play board games for date night on saturday | 14:43 |
| foobarry | she's more geek that me (relatively normal) | 14:44 |
| foobarry | my colleagues don't think i'm normal cos i have hobbies | 14:44 |
| daftykins | :D | 14:56 |
| daftykins | friend of mine from the US was so keen on board games she brought some over to the island XD | 14:57 |
| foobarry | which ones? | 15:00 |
| daftykins | ticket to ride | 15:01 |
| foobarry | i saw that for a quid at the white elephant stall and didn't get it. been sad ever since | 15:02 |
| foobarry | can't buy for full price now , since i know i missed a bargain | 15:03 |
| daftykins | crikey: http://gizmodo.com/earthquake-leaves-cows-stranded-on-a-tiny-piece-of-gras-1788945457 | 15:06 |
| daftykins | nevermind this is the source vid: https://youtu.be/LCXv9lhlIwU | 15:06 |
| popey | aww poor cowses | 15:18 |
| diddledan | !cowsay moo | 15:32 |
| foobarry | apt-get moo | 16:04 |
| daftykins | apt moo :P | 16:07 |
| daftykins | 'apt' just needs clean and purge and i'd forget all about apt-get | 16:07 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: it has | 16:12 |
| diddledan | :-o | 16:14 |
| diddledan | I know it got autoremove a short while ago | 16:15 |
| diddledan | ergh dark already | 16:16 |
| daftykins | well i don't see anything on the man page here on trusty | 16:16 |
| diddledan | winter sucks | 16:16 |
| daftykins | but just think how much better about doing the things indoors you feel, when it's all rainy and windy! | 16:17 |
| diddledan | you assume I go outside | 16:17 |
| diddledan | <-- hermit | 16:18 |
| davmor2 | diddledan, daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23476261/ | 16:18 |
| diddledan | davmor2: sudo make me a sandwich | 16:18 |
| daftykins | E: Invalid operation clean | 16:18 |
| daftykins | davmor2: are you on xenial? | 16:19 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: no | 16:19 |
| daftykins | what, then? because i'm on trusty and get the above | 16:19 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: it's in 16.10 and 17.04 | 16:19 |
| diddledan | zesty zits? | 16:19 |
| daftykins | davmor2: right so it's totally moot to claim it's there when it's version specific :P | 16:19 |
| * diddledan pops some zips | 16:19 | |
| diddledan | zits* | 16:20 |
| daftykins | messy | 16:20 |
| diddledan | :-p | 16:20 |
| diddledan | I never suffered with zits | 16:20 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: and total moot saying it isn't when you are on an older version :P | 16:20 |
| diddledan | now now, childers | 16:20 |
| diddledan | :-p | 16:20 |
| daftykins | LTS > non-LTS | 16:20 |
| daftykins | davmor2: you don't provide support much, do you? | 16:21 |
| daftykins | :) | 16:21 |
| diddledan | daftykins: how often do folk turn-up with 12.10? | 16:21 |
| diddledan | :-p | 16:21 |
| davmor2 | Yes I provide lots of support that's why your system runs at all :D | 16:22 |
| diddledan | or 6.06:-p | 16:22 |
| daftykins | 12.10 is EOL | 16:22 |
| diddledan | exactly | 16:22 |
| daftykins | davmor2: jokes on you! i don't use it | 16:22 |
| daftykins | honestly though, you have to be specific about versions if you're gonna claim something does work | 16:23 |
| daftykins | diddledan: bit different to start bringing up stuff that's EOL o0 | 16:23 |
| diddledan | it was in response to the providing support bit | 16:24 |
| daftykins | mind you i know this guy who refuses to move off 10.04... i think he keeps patching stuff by hand to avoid doing what needs to be done | 16:24 |
| diddledan | I was curio how many folk are on ancient stuff and still complaining that it isn't in their version yet | 16:24 |
| daftykins | heh, then they add "oh and btw i keep getting these errors trying to update..." | 16:26 |
| diddledan | "apt-get is broken" <-- read: "I'm running RHEL" | 16:28 |
| daftykins | you say that but i did actually regularly get CentOS users coming in to try and get support | 16:29 |
| daftykins | they'd pastebin something and show their bash prompt with the [] and i'd know XD | 16:29 |
| daftykins | then they'd ask how as if i were somehow psychic | 16:29 |
| diddledan | I'm psychic | 16:30 |
| diddledan | no, wait, I'm psychotic | 16:30 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: you're telepathetic | 16:31 |
| diddledan | ^^ +1 | 16:31 |
| daftykins | bit harsh :O | 16:31 |
| diddledan | powershell is 10 years old?! | 16:32 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: he called himself a psycho I just said he was bad at telepathy I think diddledan is being harsh on himself ;) | 16:33 |
| daftykins | it's looking really grey out there and i'm expecting someone to show up and take all this old hardware i've cobbled together... no sign yet! hope he hasn't forgotten... | 16:34 |
| diddledan | well to be fair, I am actually diagnosed as a nutjob :-p | 16:34 |
| daftykins | your mother had you tested? | 16:34 |
| diddledan | I had myself tested | 16:35 |
| diddledan | started-out as plain depression but evolved to a diagnosis of "depressive psychosis" :-D | 16:36 |
| daftykins | what if you were bias reading the results!? | 16:36 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: wearing a squirrel outfit because all you clothes need washing doesn't make a nut job ;) | 16:36 |
| diddledan | loll | 16:36 |
| diddledan | no, that would make me a student :-p | 16:36 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: no they couldn't afford the squirrel outfit | 16:37 |
| diddledan | although, now I need to buy me a squirrel outfit | 16:37 |
| davmor2 | hahahaha | 16:37 |
| diddledan | thanks for the tip :-D | 16:37 |
| * davmor2 expects to see diddledan next Halloween in a squirrel outfit or a bookcase outfit displaying various Nuts (Complete Nut Case) you're welcome if you need anymore outfit ideas just drop by ;) | 16:51 | |
