[00:25] and then they never returned... [07:32] morning [07:35] o/ [07:38] morning all [07:45] morning boys and girls. [07:48] what's new? [07:57] not a lot, been playing about with game recording on my laptop. [07:57] I've never understood people that spend mroe time watching other people play games than playing themselves [07:58] although it's not different to watching football matches === xnox_ is now known as xnox [08:01] SuperMatt: I totally get it. I don't have time to play games, but I have 5-10mins to watch someone's edited video of them playing. [08:02] makes sense, I guess [08:02] Escpecially when said watching is in the background of whatever it is I'm doing. [08:04] I just like to play the odd game now and again, if someone else can get enjoyment from watching how bad I am, then fair does lol [08:06] Only game I've considered worthwhile playing recently is Doom [08:07] even in the 80s people would gather around the arcade machine of someone doing very well in some game or other [08:07] SuperMatt: I'm a bit limited with the games I play at the moment, laptop isn't that good :) [08:07] But that's if someone was doing well. A lot of the stuff being uploaded is not that [08:08] Morning all [08:08] morning davmor2 [08:14] Of course, if you have limited time, OpenTTD is where it's at. [08:23] wow blast from the past there SuperMatt [08:25] hardly, a new version was released only this month [08:27] MooDoo: from the abondedwares get dune and run it in dosbox, it's like an early command and conquer [08:27] c&c was awesome [08:27] They don't make 'em like that any more [08:37] davmor2: nice :) [08:59] Good morning all! Happy Mon^WTuesday, and happy World Heritage Day! 😃 [09:01] morning JamesTait [09:01] 👋 MooDoo [09:15] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib-Qiyklq-Q got to be this :D [10:40] uh oh... election [10:41] Maybe JamesTait can tell us what day June 8th would be [10:41] Election day, of course. 😉 [10:42] Jerky Day. Upsy Daisy Day. World Oceans Day. [10:42] d-day +2 day [10:42] Best Friends Day. [10:43] Upsy Daisy Day will be the correct one [10:43] Name Your Poison Day. [10:43] and not 'oh no, not again day' [10:43] Plus what zmoylan-pi said. [10:45] Jam Doughnut Day. [10:45] (It actually says Jelly-filled Donut, but we know what they mean) [10:46] that would discriminate against diabetics unless you provide bagels as a safer option... [10:48] Diabetic jam is a thing, but is falls through the hole in the bagel. [10:48] probably for the best if it's anything like diabetic chocolate... [10:48] JamesTait, acheronUK, zmoylan-pi: don't worry guys I'll have you covered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBMLG57sro [10:49] zmoylan-pi: Thorton's does good stuff apparently. G/F's mother buys loads of it when she's over to take home. [10:54] JamesTait: although this might be more appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY [10:55] Heh. ☺ [11:07] davmor2: must had read my mind! immediately thought of that R.E.M. track [11:09] h i see [11:30] pfft. floppy disk problems... :-) http://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tumblr_oohx87Hr2R1vnq1cro1_400.gif [11:30] lawls [11:35] haha [11:35] that's awesome [11:35] what system is it though? [11:35] it's very bulky [11:36] i suspect it's a /laptop/ on a shuttle [11:36] probably a ruggedised one at that for extra brickiness factor [11:42] https://twitter.com/stef/status/854292740821176321 [12:22] Random question: Don't suppose anyone knows any suitcases that meet wizz airs requirments, I can find bags, but not suitcases. === Darkstar is now known as Guest9587 [16:26] show@ubuntupodcast.org [16:29] oops [16:29] wrong link [16:29] https://blog.adafruit.com/2017/04/18/is-mp3-now-patent-free-makerbusiness-technicolor/ [17:11] the zuck of myfacespacebook+ is on stage: https://www.facebook.com/FacebookforDevelopers/videos/vb.19292868552/10154613896183553/?type=3&theater [20:50] Ah poop. I can't even test Ubuntu on my 32-bit test rig. [20:51] oh? [20:51] honestly there's no point pursuing 32-bit kit [20:53] murmur murmur murmur... [20:53] ? :) [20:54] I SAID RHUBARB RHUBARB RHUBARB :-P [20:54] I don't for production use but this was more of a convenience thing. [20:54] ...and out of interest. [20:54] Eventually I got an error message about not having PAE and CX8 on the CPU. [20:55] ...so that'd do it. [20:55] yeah i mentioned hitting the PAE wall t'other day, not sure if you were about by then though [20:55] honestly i dump way better kit, so single core 32-bit just nooooo :> [20:57] These are expendable, so I keep them around. [20:57] * zmoylan-pi pats my trusty 286 and tells it to ignore the nasty man... :-) [20:57] If I have need of an OS/2 1.x test rig I might keep an AT around. ;-) [20:58] Thankfully I don't. [20:58] i kept the 286 around for 5.25" and also programming dongles and uploading firmware/logos to receipt printers... and configuring touchscreens [20:59] 5.25" 1200K? ;-) [20:59] 1.2mb... oodles of space... [20:59] Not quite 1.2M [20:59] well you can overformat them... [21:12] cor :P [21:12] squeeze out a couple more KB? ;) [21:12] just 2-3 of those babies to store a music mp3... :-) [21:13] haha and here's me getting some vinyl rip FLAC that has ~80MB single tracks [21:13] alrighty, bed time \o [21:13] ...and there I thought my 128M Smartmedia card was small! ;-) [21:13] that 286 was shipped with a 40mb hard drive which dos 3.3 partitioned as 32mb + 8mb [21:13] Goodnight daftykins [21:14] thank goodness for dr-dos that allowed it to be 40mb... [21:14] :-) [21:15] More of a CP/M-86 man, myself. [21:15] we settled on dr-dos as we wanted the builtin networking... i wanted the russian dos they used on satellites... [21:17] DR-DOS did inherit some nice features from DOSPLUS and (via that) CP/M-86 [21:18] and the wireframe network space shooty game... [21:19] very handy for testing network speed :-) [21:23] I don't remember that. [21:24] netwars... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp1RrCy4w4 [21:28] Oh well. Time to fetch the children [21:28] o/
