Happy Tuesday, and happy Philanthropy Day! 😃 [09:34] morning boys and girls. [09:34] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhhOmFwp7tc [09:38] davmor2, nice song that one. [09:40] JamesTait: well initially I was thinking of Bob cause it's getting close to that time of year. But then remember the lyric giving it all away, for some reason I thought it was Rod Stewart but then it was the year I was born so I have a small excuse for not remembering it perfectly ;) [10:03] popey or anyone else do you know what the irc channel for this years Online Summit ? [10:16] bittin: goto summit.ubuntu.com should be listed there [10:17] bittin: #ubuntu-uos- and #ubuntu-uos-plenary [10:32] popey: thank you :) [10:34] np [10:37] did we ever discover the identity of train ubuntu guy [10:41] canonical's guerilla marketing [10:41] either that or mr robot [11:17] He's a gchq operative [11:17] I hope no one took photographs in that case [11:18] They get rather touchy about that sort of thing [11:56] awoke in the night thinking i could hear a mouse in the room [11:56] :S [11:57] awoke in the early morning to find my wife with a torch doing the same thing [11:58] singing or scritching? [12:01] chewing [12:04] deploy traps and wait [12:04] mice are wise to these things [12:06] i find it's about the position and orientation of the trap. they can pick bait off traps but if you place it so they have to be on trap when doing it they get caught [12:06] of course now i'm in a place with a few cats wandering around so no mice [12:59] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/14/nhs-it-blunder-sees-system-clogged-after-email-sent-to-12-millio/ [13:02] all the news covered that yesterday and still seems to be down today [13:36] " [13:36] The video you are trying to watch is using the HTTP Live Streaming protocol which is only supported in iOS devices" [13:36] http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2016-11-09/armed-police-help-persecuted-christian-family-flee-their-bradford-home/ [13:36] does anyone else get that message? [13:36] i'm on desktop firefox === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [13:38] ah, i don't have flash. thanks for the helpful error ITV [13:38] i've been seeing a few can't play this in firefox messages in last week or so [13:38] foobarry: yeap same thing in chromium [13:42] foobarry: ugh, that story is awful [13:42] yeah [13:43] response:"disappointed they had decided to leave bradford...trying to deal with it". police said credible threat to life. he'd already been severely beaten [13:46] http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nes-classic-edition-console-hacked-running-ubuntu-linux/ [13:46] helps to read the article from the bottom up. [13:46] "The Ubuntu operating system is based on Linux as well." [13:47] despite canonicals attempts to change it? :-P [13:49] not the OS in the nes, but the OS some hacker put on it [13:50] wouldn't you be better off with a pi-cade as at least those are probably in stock? [13:51] can it be claimed ubuntu is based on linux when it runs on the Windows kernel now? [13:51] :-p [13:51] which runs on bsd... [13:52] http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1611/meeting/22713/intro-and-keynote-by-gustavo-niemeyer/ [13:52] it's UoS time [13:53] there's a few posts doing the rounds about retropie if you can't get a nes [13:53] seen two today already [13:53] or wait a few weeks surely [13:53] it's a bit flawed [13:53] £50 is a sweet price [13:53] very short cables [13:53] oh, :( i haven't read reviews [13:54] and only wired. I have a bluetooth 8bitdo SNES30 on my retropie under the telly [13:54] why would you have such short cables [13:54] if you had it on your desk [13:56] but....hdmi is tlly [13:56] telly [13:57] or recreate your youth by sitting cross legged, far too close to the telly [13:57] trying to get tapes to load [13:58] what was wrose were the tapes with multiple games on [14:01] Cassette 50 [14:02] super happy with my retropie under the telly with the 8bitdo connector [14:02] *controller [14:02] works a treat [14:06] what's an 8bitdo connector? [14:18] hi [14:31] foobarry: controller [14:35] need to think of ideas for chrimbo pressies [14:40] foobarry: scarfs unifit and look nice you can't go wrong ;) [14:41] davmor2: punctuation might help readability :-) [14:43] diddledan: meh punctuation is overrated [14:43] * diddledan wonders what "meh punctuation" is :-p [14:44] foobarry: scarfs, unifit and look nice, you can't go wrong :P [14:44] try: scarfs: they're unifit and look nice. you can't go wrong. [14:44] :-p [14:45] assertion error on try scarfs not found [14:45] * diddledan proudly wears the "pedantic of the day" badge. [14:46] maybe that should be "git of the day"?

Ridiculously priced tiny netbook thing before netbooks were a thing [15:53] that moment when you spend ages getting soemthing working and then you get the message Ignoring gpu device (device: 1, name: Tesla C2070, pci bus id: 0000:0d:00.0) with Cuda compute capability 2.0. The minimum required Cuda capability is 3.0 [15:53] and all your work was for nowt [15:54] http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-VAIO-C1VE-9-12-GB-Transmeta-Crusoe-TM5600-600-MHz-128-MB-/262706459031 [15:54] that thing, but not that model, the one before it [15:54] yeah, depends on the model - they had machines which were ultraportables before netbooks came along [15:55] mmm that's definitely one of the gimmicky toy ones [15:55] i remember that transmeta vaio [15:55] my CEO brought one back from china and expected various other gizmos to work on it [15:56] found it http://imgur.com/a/I569P - photo of my sony laptop and bonus cat in a box [15:56] the CPU was awful slow and the drivers page was in japanese [15:56] i remove those windows stickers on the first day [15:56] when i first started looking after that guys stuff he had this utterly shocking JVC thing: http://zdnet3.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/11/28/dd83442a-76ae-11e4-b569-d4ae52e95e57/thumbnail/770x433/4231a9933de154f37a9b75c34c268e5d/jvc-mininote-i1.gif [15:57] rubby nipple!

[16:02] yeah [16:02] not the cat? [16:02] sadly not [16:02] he got run over [16:02] nor the lovely curtains [16:03] rented house, not my choice :) [16:03] they are spare room curtains if ever i saw any [16:03] hehe [16:03] note the 3 button serial mouse on top of the crappy speaker on the right [16:04] and the palm pda [16:05] * daftykins had those speakers [16:05] hehe [16:05] diddle dan computers [16:05] had to lunge at them when something loud came on [16:05] :D [16:05] those cd racks in the legs of the unit were optimistic [16:05] that monitor looks like my old sony one - I wonder if it was a rebranded?
