[01:52] <diddledan> further to the gitlab purchase of gitter.im - they're gonna opensauce it: http://venturebeat.com/2017/03/15/gitlab-acquires-software-chat-startup-gitter-will-open-source-the-code/
[06:23] <MooDoo> morning all, in fact very early morning
[08:13] <SebthreeBQM10HD> popey, poing
[08:25] <diplo> Morning all
[08:26] <daftykins> \o
[08:44] <foobarry> popey: yes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTRd18GR5k0 choose HD quality
[08:44] <foobarry> of my missis nabbing a parking space back
[08:47] <diplo> foobarry: Wifey can reverse well :)
[08:48] <foobarry> ometimes she phones me from the car to reverse into small gaps when she's tired
[08:48] <diplo> Well that was better than a lot of people I know
[08:48] <foobarry> i can reverse park brilliantly but cannot reverse straight
[08:48] <foobarry> down a narrow road. i always over correct
[08:49] <diplo> hah, I actually learnt to drive reversing, so it is second nature to me
[08:49] <diplo> Started a job at 15, never driven a car before and I was told to reverse the vans out of the building
[09:01] <TwistedLucidity> Reversing is easy. Just use the trick I learnt using the rear gun in "Elite" and turn the steering wheel upside down.
[09:04] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:04] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: why do that just reverse
[09:05] <TwistedLucidity> davmor2: It was meant to be read like a Viz "Top-tip"; not taken literally.
[09:06] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: oh okay I didn't see the start of the conversation which obviously doesn't help :D
[09:06] <TwistedLucidity> LOL
[10:12] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Freedom of Information Day! 😃
[10:15] <zmoylan-pi> we can't talk about that here
[10:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:20] <BigRedS1> Gooood Morning!
[10:20] <brobostigon> :)
[10:21] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StlMdNcvCJo
[10:26] <davmor2> JamesTait: I think that is valid right it seems to be where we get most of our information nowadays :D
[10:28] <JamesTait> davmor2, something like that. ☺
[10:32] <TwistedLucidity> I only believe news that carries the "Trump Approved" sticker.
[10:34] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: so you see no news, cause all the legitimate News agencies are banned from his meetings
[10:35] <TwistedLucidity> davmor2: They're all fake news, which is why they were banned. You know it's real news if Trump allows it. /s
[10:36] <TwistedLucidity> Must admit, I nearly sprayed my morning coffee across this morning when lauging after I heard his rant about the travel ban being banned. Again.
[10:36] <TwistedLucidity> "..across the room this morning.."
[10:37] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: I know it's like he is surprised that breaking the law isn't allowed
[10:37] <zmoylan-pi> the list of places that have banned the bbc is a list you want to be on north korea, vietnam.... the white house...
[10:37] <TwistedLucidity>  HE IS THE LAW!
[10:37] <TwistedLucidity> Wait, is that it? Did he read to much "Judge Dredd" as a wee bairn?
[10:38] <zmoylan-pi> he was 40+ when dredd came out
[10:38] <TwistedLucidity> zmoylan-pi: That's physical age, what about mental?
[10:39] <zmoylan-pi> -4
[10:39] <zmoylan-pi> but dredd was probably too liberal for him...
[10:40] <TwistedLucidity> Dredd is a fascist, but I don't think he has any personal agenda.
[10:40] <zmoylan-pi> dredd is a fascist but he tries to do the /right/ thing
[10:41] <TwistedLucidity> He applies the law. If the law is right, he does the right thing.
[10:41] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: he is not judge dredd
[10:41] <TwistedLucidity> Has he let perps off with law breaking? (Been a while since I read Dredd)
[10:41] <TwistedLucidity> davmor2: More Walter?
[10:42] <zmoylan-pi> he's given pardons i seem to remember
[10:42] <zmoylan-pi> i haven't read it since 1989 or so
[10:42] <TwistedLucidity> Got some old 2000ad annuals downstairs (the benefits of having a g/f who is also a geek)
[10:43] <TwistedLucidity> No, I take that back. She's a nerd.
[10:43] <TwistedLucidity> I'm the geek.
[10:43] <zmoylan-pi> she's never bitten the head off a chicken? :-)
[10:43] <TwistedLucidity> Not a second time, no
[10:46] <popey> foobarry: nice
[10:46] <zmoylan-pi> i was given 12gb of 2000ad comics yonks back... still haven't found a reader i like to read them on
[10:47] <zmoylan-pi> it really calls for a 20" screen to get the full centre spread appreciation but it's not comfy on a desktop or laptop screen
[10:48] <TwistedLucidity> I'd love to get an eReader, but I want a colour screen.
[10:48] <TwistedLucidity> Deadtree is simply better at some things.
[10:49] <zmoylan-pi> it is
[10:50] <zmoylan-pi> an ipad or android tablet of those dimensions would be silly expensive
[10:50] <popey> how about one of those dell all in one things with a battery :)
[10:50] <popey> 18" tablet
[10:50] <zmoylan-pi> e-ink doesn't do colour and even when it gets there it probably won't be vibrant enough for reproducing comics
[10:50] <popey> e-ink does do colour
[10:50]  * popey points to his pebble watch
[10:51] <zmoylan-pi> aren't they dead now since been bought? :-(
[10:51] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: http://www.eink.com/press_releases/e_ink_announces_advanced_color_epaper_05-24-2016.html
[10:52] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: looks vivid enough to me :P
[10:52] <zmoylan-pi> looks a little washed out to me but it is getting better all the time
[10:52] <popey> well, pebble are, but the fact the tech exists was more the point
[10:53] <popey> yeah, it's a bit washed out
[10:53] <zmoylan-pi> probably for the best... i'd end up getting one and try to read 2000ad on it :-)
[11:09] <foobarry> how do i enter fontawesome special characters with alt+ number?
[11:09] <foobarry> into libreoffice for example
[11:10] <foobarry> i have number U+ F0C0
[11:12] <foobarry> ah got it
[11:12] <foobarry> ctrl-shift-u<number> return
[11:24] <zmoylan-pi> that sounds like it needs 3 hands...
[11:31] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: no you only need to type ctrl+shift+u then you type in the number after letting go :)
[11:31] <davmor2> 😁
[11:32] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticons_(Unicode_block)
[11:32] <davmor2> enjoy
[11:33] <zmoylan-pi> i'll stick with irc emoticons and be happy i tellz you... ::waves cane at whippersnappers::
[11:34] <m0nkey_> 💩
[11:34] <zmoylan-pi> which is just a little box with numbers on my pi... ::pats pi for shielding me from nasty unicode::
[12:57] <TwistedLucidity> I have the poop icon in my fonts? \o/ Life complete.
[12:58] <zmoylan-pi> so... you're the fan the poop hits? :-)
[13:06] <TwistedLucidity> Emoji are not Emoticons are not Kaomoji
