[05:44] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.

[07:10] <brobostigon> \o
[08:39] <zmoylan-pi>  lot of people play the pipes and play them well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmaicurzPb0
[13:41] <pleaseman> Is this channel still in use? I used to come here when I first started using Ubuntu, but it seems quieter now, while #ubuntu is much busier?
[13:41] <pleaseman> I'm a returnee, a very out of date one at that :(
[13:43] <MattJ> #ubuntu was always much busier :)
[13:44] <pleaseman> Okay fair enough. Just wanted to know this is still in operation
[13:44] <MattJ> But yes, this is still the primary method to receive morning greetings from brobostigon, I know of no better channel
[13:44] <pleaseman> Maybe this was the autojoin channel in those days MattJ
[13:45] <brobostigon> MattJ: :)
[13:45] <pleaseman> or maybe I'm just completely misremembering... more likely :)
[13:46] <pleaseman> I do remember brobostigon and you MattJ  others I'd better not annoy with long list while i remember how to use IRC
[13:46] <brobostigon> :)
[13:46] <pleaseman> I used to use irssi, but i suspect I'm too rusty for that now. You have to actually remember commands :)
[13:50] <pleaseman> Nice to see Thunderbird still works well on Linux. It's ab it messy on Windows these days :(
[13:57] <brobostigon>  /help helps a lot, :)
[14:02] <pleaseman> I'm getting there. To be honest, I used to mainly use Linux on my Desktop, but it went the way of the dodo and it took me awhile to come across a second hand laptop with an ssd installed, for under £50... yeah I'm that tight :(
[14:04] <pleaseman> The ssd is only 30GB, but it's fine for me. I use an SD card for data and then push it onto an External HD every few weeks. It's prehistoric, as backup systems go, but it's worked for me
[14:11] <brobostigon> :)
[14:14] <brobostigon> some of us even still use their eeepc's. :)
[14:15] <lornajane> I had an aspire one and I adored that thing
[14:18] <brobostigon> they did pretty well with the designs of those things.
[14:25] <lornajane> in fact I had an aspire one with an after-market battery upgrade. It was very unbalanced and yet still perfect. I now carry a small android tablet and bluetooth keyboard but I'm thinking of the aspire when I use it :)
[14:25] <brobostigon> ;)
[14:29] <pleaseman> I used to have an msi wind. You could get an alternative long life battery for it that literally lasted all day. It stuck out a bit, but still easily fit into a duffel bag
[14:32] <pleaseman> back later
