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