| <dsas> night all | |
| <popey> eeeeeeeeeeeeeee ratfans! | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> morning popey | |
| <popey> http://mindwarp.net/?p=37 nice | |
| <popey> no new screencasts today from me :( | |
| <popey> had to rebuild pc last night | |
| <GazzaK> oh no, why? | |
| <GazzaK> did ya break it? | |
| <popey> long story, but it needed it, it was a dapper build that had been upgraded | |
| <GazzaK> ahhh | |
| <popey> there were quite a few things that were not quite right | |
| <popey> and now I rebuit everything that was broken now works | |
| <popey> and better | |
| <GazzaK> any recommendations for 30-40 inch LCD tellys? | |
| <popey> sony bravia | |
| <popey> not philips IMO | |
| <GazzaK> I like the philips ambiview stuff thou | |
| <popey> pffft | |
| <GazzaK> and sony is evil, alledgedly | |
| <popey> mere gimmicks to hide the shitty picture quality | |
| <popey> meh | |
| <popey> sony is a massive company | |
| <popey> bits of it do silly things, some bits to excellent things. | |
| <GazzaK> i'll look at Sony then | |
| <popey> I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who say "sony is evil" still have playstations | |
| <GazzaK> I might not be able to afford one thou, but I want one :p | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> yeah, ditto | |
| <popey> i am going to replace my philips 2" plasma with a sony lcd | |
| <popey> er | |
| <popey> 42" | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <GazzaK> I was never going to get a plasma, heard too many bad stories | |
| <popey> they have their place, that place isn't in my lounge tho :) | |
| <grifferz> sony is evil | |
| <popey> mah | |
| <popey> not you as well | |
| <GazzaK> my lounge is only 3.3m wide, so the distance between the sofa and telly will be that minus the back of the sofa | |
| <grifferz> I don't think I own any sony hardware :) | |
| <popey> microsoft are evil, but so many people who have linux also have xboxen and xboxen 360 | |
| <grifferz> I rate sony as more evil than microsoft to be honest | |
| <popey> blimey | |
| <popey> harsh | |
| <popey> i don't think they're evil, i think they're stupid | |
| <grifferz> after we've put aside all the companies that kill stuff for profit, and the likes of nestle, then there is sony and microsoft vying for first place | |
| <GazzaK> I hate sonys technical side, ie the laptop support is evil | |
| <popey> of course | |
| <GazzaK> but their tellys do look nice | |
| <popey> i have never had a sony telly go wrong | |
| <popey> I still have one I bought ~17 years ago in my kitchen | |
| <popey> it's flawless | |
| <GazzaK> my current philips 32" crt is like 7 years old and works lovely still | |
| <popey> and it doesn't look 17 years old either | |
| <GazzaK> so, how much will a less than 40" lcd telly cost me? | |
| <popey> http://uk.pricerunner.com/ | |
| <popey> find out for yourself | |
| <GazzaK> owww, £975 from Komplett | |
| <GazzaK> I can afford that | |
| <GazzaK> I was thinking of the Dell LCD telly | |
| <GazzaK> and the 32" one of those is only £714 inc VAT and del | |
| <grifferz> I can't imagine spending 700 quid on a telly. I suppose much like many people can't imagine spending 2 grand on a computer they virtually never see | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, it is a lot, but my current telly cost £1500 approx | |
| <GazzaK> but really, It is used most days, and entertains me, so it is money well spent, I feel | |
| <GazzaK> if I had a life, then things might be different | |
| <popey> i like having a nice telly to watch good films on | |
| <popey> i suspect you don't get much out of having a big telly grifferz because (I assume) when you watch a film it's out of the corner of your eye whilst your attention is focused on a terminal on your laptop | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <grifferz> most of the time yes | |
| <grifferz> unless it has subtitles | |
| <popey> your terminal has subtitles? | |
| <popey> blimey | |
| <popey> "Blimey" | |
| <grifferz> hmm boss left the office ~3 hours ago and we have a team meeting at 11 | |
| <grifferz> don't think he's gonna be back for that.. | |
| <popey> you have a shift system? | |
| <grifferz> no, he just had to do some out of hours work | |
| <grifferz> but as far as I can tell he never went home between yesterday evening and 5.45am today | |
| <popey> http://kvm.sf.net/ looks like an interesting project | |
| <popey> basically qemu with the VT stuff enabled | |
| <popey> "Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. " | |
| <popey> like the sound of that | |
| <popey> if it works on my machine at home (which has VT) then it might make running virtual machines for screencasts very nice | |
| <GazzaK> woo, that sony telly has pc input - guess where my 'puter is going to be wired in! | |
| <GazzaK> mythtv here we come | |
| *** anti-net is now known as anti-net_ | |
| <anti-net_> Morning all | |
| <GazzaK> morning anti-net_ | |
| <popey> GazzaK: you might want to see what the native resolution of that telly is when using vga | |
| <GazzaK> 1366x768 | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <GazzaK> bit of a weird res eh | |
| <popey> pretty standard for that size telly | |
| <popey> imagine it at 63 inches tho.. http://www.amazon.com/63IN-Plasma-Mntr-10000-1366X768/dp/B000FJ2IME | |
| <GazzaK> nah, I'll be less than 3m away, I ain't blind yet | |
| <anti-net_> Wb | |
| <popey> wb you | |
| * anti-net_ never left | |
| <GazzaK> mini netsplit | |
| <popey> 09:17 -!- Netsplit sterling.freenode.net <-> irc.freenode.net quits: anti-net_ | |
| <anti-net_> some reason you all quitted and I was the only one left here :P | |
| <popey> 09:18 -!- Netsplit over, joins: anti-net_ | |
| <popey> I put it to you... | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <GazzaK> anti-net_ broke the interweb | |
| <popey> that's intarweb to you sonny | |
| <GazzaK> intArweb then, :-p | |
| * popey is itching to get home to try out kvm | |
| <AdamBagnall> Morning all | |
| <GazzaK> hey AdamBagnall | |
| <popey> YO! | |
| <AdonaiUK> morning all | |
| <GazzaK> morning AdonaiUK | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Good morning . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Good news: Jono got the registration, Bad News: I cant see the CC event on the events calendar now! I think it may have been moved. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> and fo registraton I mean Approval Application | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> LoudMouthMan: Surely if you can't see it then it could just as easily have been moved back? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> sheepeatingtaz: your quite right . i think thats what I said ? or do i have the brain worms again ? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> LoudMouthMan: no, I think I do, for some reason I read your text as 'moved forward' | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Apologies | |
| <LoudMouthMan> no probs | |
| <popey> *quack* | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey, I could do to bath in your wealth of knowledge at some point | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> </flattery> | |
| <popey> awwww | |
| <popey> thanks | |
| <popey> what the hell brought that on? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Because I want to know ways to make SAP less annoying :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> didn't you work with SAP a lot, in a previous job? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I'm currently working through the pages on your Wiki about it. | |
| <popey> i work with sap currently yes | |
| <popey> sap, annoying? surely not | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> It winds me right up, but that could admittedly be because of the way it has been set up rather than 'features' of SAP in general. | |
| <popey> which wiki are you looking at? | |
| <popey> I didn't realise there was much sap stuff on my wiki | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?HomePage/SAP | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> there isn't :) | |
| <popey> hehe, I shoudl get rid of that | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I'm just working through to see if there's anything relevant | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> to me | |
| * sheepeatingtaz abandons SAP talk to move back to the lovely *ubuntus | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> :) | |
| <popey> hehe | |
| <popey> are you a techy on SAP then? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> No, Just a monkey | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I mean user | |
| <popey> hehe | |
| <popey> you work on a site where you have to use it? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Yes, I *believe* (if the bumph we get in the starter packs is to be belived) we have one of the biggest deployments in the country | |
| <popey> mind if I ask who you work for? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> not at all | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> the company formerly known as MFI | |
| <popey> ahhh | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> now Galiform Plc | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> the whole company name thing is getting complicated :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> 'ahhh' sound onimous? | |
| <popey> no, just wondered who it was | |
| <popey> retail companies tend to have large sap implementations | |
| <popey> often complex too as they talk to EPOS systems and web ordering systems too | |
| <popey> the number of line items sold each day in each store contributes to "very large" databases | |
| <popey> I worked at one of your competitors recently and they also claim to have one of the biggest deployments in the uk :) | |
| <popey> in fact every single customer I have ever been to says that :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Hehe | |
| <popey> they all measure it in different ways though | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Our scale must be the 'crock of poo' scale :) | |
| <popey> hehe | |
| <popey> biggest in the world is the Saudi oil company Aramco | |
| <popey> [FACT] | |
| <popey> by any measure :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> thankfully, the job I actually do minimises the amount I do with SAP. It's just that when I do have to use it, the UI tends to wind me up. | |
| <popey> yeah, it's not pleasant is it? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> it really isn't. | |
| <popey> I used to teach courses for SAP and when people came on the first course they would often near-puke at seeing it | |
| <grifferz> it's not scientific fact, but it's true | |
| <popey> </chris_morris> ? | |
| <popey> or was it Dr Fox? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> It's little things like when I quit, it pops up a dialog asking if I'm sure, which I can't a) turn off or b) control with the mouse | |
| <grifferz> was dr fox on brass eye | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> or I can't copy the contents of an order to a spreadsheet | |
| <popey> do you have a little box in the top left of the screen | |
| <popey> use "/nex" to exit without prompting | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> excellent | |
| <popey> to copy/paste do CTRL+Y, select a region, then do CTRL+C and paste wherever | |
| <popey> or do "%pc" to download to a local file | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> what does the control Y do? | |
| <popey> (sometimes doesn't work in some screens) | |
| <popey> changes the cursor to a target so you can select a region to copy | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> will definately be trying the %pc | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> so it copies/pastes an image? | |
| <popey> no | |
| <popey> it selects text | |
| <popey> %pc can download to excel, html, copy to clipboard and others | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey, you can have the flattery I gave earlier, and it can multiply :) | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> this stuff should be in your training for SAP :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Training? | |
| <popey> it's basic navigation 101 | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I've only been here 2 years, I don't qualify for training! | |
| <popey> hahaha | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Everything I know about all our systems, and any system to be fair, has been found by accident and/or trial & error | |
| <popey> i once went to Habitat to buy some chairs, the woman asked if I'd bought anything before.. "I'll need to set you up on the system".. which turned out to be a SAP screen I recognised.. | |
| <popey> ..she said "we've got this new SAP system", "yeah, so I see", "oh, you know SAP", "yeah", "I'll keep your address then for any problems! :)", "er, no, don't do that" | |
| <popey> it was shocking, she had a vga screen @640x480 and almost nothing fitted on the screen, she spent more time scrolling than typing | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I have that problem too, but at least my screen is at 1024x768 | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> anyways, lunchtime | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> thanks for your help | |
| <popey> o/ | |
| <popey> np | |
| <GazzaK> anyone any good at image editing who can take a look at a silly avatar i've been messing with? | |
| <GazzaK> http://www.kearley.net/media/Images/gazzakgay.jpg tell me if there is anything wrong in this image. | |
| <popey> lol@filename | |
| <GazzaK> sorry, yeah it is a silly image | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey, where abouts (if online) is your list of proposed screencasts? | |
| <GazzaK> it's only a little avatar, nothing too scary popey | |
| <popey> http://popey.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VideoDemos | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> cheers, I may have a pop at some for kubuntu. I'll have to check see what Tez is working on first. | |
| <popey> excellent | |
| <popey> I am going to update my guide tonight if I get kvm working | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> how did the whole nvidia thing work out, anyway? | |
| <popey> kvm will hopefully make for a much faster qemu | |
| <grifferz> I don't see why kvm is going to be any better/easier than qemu | |
| <popey> it supports VT | |
| <grifferz> oh ok | |
| <popey> so it will be better for the few of us that have VT chips | |
| <popey> Pentium D does VT doesn't it? | |
| <grifferz> yeah | |
| <grifferz> most versions I think? | |
| <popey> be nice if kvm makes it into the mainline kernel | |
| <popey> give xen some nice competition | |
| <popey> although they are of course very different as qemu under kvm still provides an emulated environment rather than exposing the local hardware like xen does | |
| <DarkFlib> even VMware exposes some of the local hardware | |
| <LoudMouthMan> back | |
| <DarkFlib> for example, you can't do a live migration between AMD and intel or vice versa | |
| <DarkFlib> since it exposes some of the chip extensions to the vm | |
| <popey> wonder if qemu does the same | |
| <popey> lunchtime i think | |
| <GazzaK> lunch - wooo, where | |
| <popey> http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2232 hahahahah | |
| <popey> donkeys | |
| <anti-net_> Afternoon all | |
| <AdamBagnall> Afternoon | |
| <GazzaK> morning | |
| <anti-net_> hows is everyone? | |
| <anti-net_> by that silences i'll just take it all is good | |
| <grifferz> busy busy | |
| <AdamBagnall> busy | |
| <AdamBagnall> not busy busy though | |
| <AdamBagnall> got a meeting in a few mins *yawn* | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah Were good. Jono signed off on the Application so it will be submitted. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> im just waiting to hear when | |
| <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ApprovalApplication is that the final application? | |
| * popey adds a credit to taz on http://quickones.org/faq | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yes as far as Jono is concerned it passes the initial read | |
| <popey> \o/ | |
| <popey> what does this give us? | |
| <popey> Kudos aside? | |
| * mrben checks out popey's new screencasts | |
| <popey> none today :( | |
| <popey> was busy rebuilding pc last night | |
| <mrben> popey: hadn't seen your customising one before | |
| <popey> oh cool | |
| <LoudMouthMan> well nothing yet since we have to wait for Community Council to approve us | |
| <popey> heh, of course :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> for popey i see there planning a Wargames II | |
| <LoudMouthMan> check out www.sliceofscifi.com for movie news on that if you missed it. | |
| <AdamBagnall> wargames II. That's one film I'm going to have to see | |
| <mrben> yeah | |
| <popey> bet it's shit :) | |
| <popey> what was that game which kikiwitch posted that looks like war games | |
| <AdamBagnall> Probably | |
| <AdamBagnall> Defcon? | |
| <popey> thassim | |
| <AdamBagnall> The Linux binaries aren't out yet though | |
| <mrben> yeah - next game from introversion | |
| <mrben> popey: watching that screencast just reminds me of how nice the gnome desktop is | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> you use kde? | |
| <mrben> no | |
| <mrben> gnome | |
| <mrben> but it's easy to forget | |
| <popey> are they planning a linux version? | |
| <AdamBagnall> They are | |
| * sheepeatingtaz has just read up on Defcon at Wikipedia | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Looks Good :) | |
| <popey> ditto | |
| <AdamBagnall> In the same way they did for Darwinia. Buy the windows version and then download the Linux installer | |
| <popey> right | |
| <popey> same as for doom3 / quake4 / ut2004 :) | |
| <AdamBagnall> yup | |
| * popey ponders which screencast to do tonight | |
| <AdamBagnall> And hopefully soon Serious Sam 2. It's in beta now | |
| * mrben considers whether he should drop from the ubuntu-marketting mailing list, and join the ubuntu-uk mailing list instead | |
| <AdamBagnall> popey: I've just thought of another very simple screencast idea. Showing new users how to use the loki installers. People say games are holding linux back, lets make them reeeaaally easy to install | |
| <popey> loki is discontinued tho isn't it? | |
| * popey notes he's on both those mailing lists :0 | |
| <AdamBagnall> loki went bust, but most (all?) the current linux games still use the old loki installer | |
| <AdamBagnall> games ported by Linux Game Publishing still use a slighlty modified version | |
| <AdamBagnall> and www.liflg.org has lots of loki installers for games | |
| <popey> along a similar vein I was thinking about one that shows how to install windows stuff on linux | |
| <mrben> AdamBagnall: the loki installer looks a bit rough | |
| <mrben> I wish someone would update it | |
| <popey> covering wine, qemu, vmware, dosemu and ummmm something else | |
| <mrben> scummvm! | |
| <mrben> popey: you got any idea of how to get junk mail filtering to work in Evolution? | |
| <mrben> _that_ would be a good tutorial | |
| <popey> yeah, i have it working | |
| <popey> you have to turn the rule on to make it take effect | |
| <AdamBagnall> mrben: that's because the loki installer still uses gtk1. It really needs updating | |
| <mrben> yes | |
| <mrben> popey: I have | |
| <mrben> (at least, I think I have) | |
| <popey> hmm | |
| <popey> maybe things have changed since I used it | |
| <mrben> I will check when I get home | |
| <mrben> I'm just not convinced its actually learning anything | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <mrben> what was really annoying was that I logged on to the isp webmail client, and selected 'imap' thinking that it would do the folders properly, instead of every _all_ the mail in my inbox | |
| <mrben> sadly, it didn't | |
| <mrben> instead, it moved all my mail *in* *Evolution* back into the inbox when I got home | |
| <mrben> 5 days worth of junked mail back in my inbox | |
| <popey> ncie | |
| <popey> er | |
| <popey> nice | |
| <GazzaK> cein | |
| <mrben> popey: yeah - plusnet not my favourite people these days | |
| <anti-net_> anyone here know about writing GTK apps in C/C++? | |
| <popey> ooo 110 views of "installing updates on ubuntu" in the last 24 hours | |
| <anti-net_> never mind, fixed my problem :) | |
| <popey> oo 188 views total | |
| <popey> long way to go to catch "Introduction to Perl: The friendly programming language" with 2193 views! | |
| <anti-net_> you submitted them to digg yet? | |
| <popey> the guide to making screencasts was by someone else | |
| <popey> I saw a few extra hits to popey.com :) | |
| <popey> but, no, I haven't | |
| <anti-net_> You should, I think people would like it | |
| <popey> but if someone wanted to submit them with "high quality tutorials" or similar subject line that'd be nice :) | |
| <popey> ahhaaha | |
| <popey> someone just tried to test me in the hall | |
| <popey> "no, shh, don't say anything, here he is" | |
| <popey> "alan, what's your fave star trek character" | |
| <popey> "I don't really like star trek" | |
| <GazzaK> hehe | |
| <popey> "ahhh, you're not a proper geek - proper geeks would ask whether we mean ST, TNG, voyager or Enterprise " | |
| <GazzaK> lol | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, you failed the geek test | |
| <popey> gladly | |
| <anti-net_> grrr, ok anyone know anything about C and GTK? | |
| <popey> i wish i did | |
| <anti-net_> hmm, I pay try and explain my problem on the list, see if anyone can help me there | |
| <mrben> popey: heh; I don't like star trek either | |
| <anti-net_> popey, is html ok on the mailing list or does it all have to be plain text? | |
| <AdamBagnall> ,k | |
| <popey> i think plain text is preferred | |
| <AdamBagnall> anti-net_: plain text is better | |
| <GazzaK> html results in flaming :p | |
| <AdamBagnall> I filter out html emails because it blocks lots of junk | |
| * GazzaK sends html email in size 20 font, in pink | |
| <anti-net_> lol GazzaK | |
| <anti-net_> hmm I hate it when I find errors in my e-mails......after i've sent it | |

| <littletank> hi, is there anyone here who has a practical interest in astronomy? | |
| <littletank> As there has been no response I take it the answer is no. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Evning all . | |
| <AdamBagnall> Evening | |
| <AdamBagnall> littletank, meeee | |
| <LoudMouthMan> wow What did I say to Daniel? | |
| <littletank> What I want to do is to combine telescope, camera and computer. | |
| <AdamBagnall> I think kstars has support for telescope tracking, although I dont know how good it is, my telescope isn't that advanced | |
| <littletank> Tracking is out for me but video and frame stacking is a possibility | |
| <AdamBagnall> I think astrostack runs under wine | |
| <littletank> I have been looking at Kino and astrostack which runs under linux | |
| <littletank> There is also the need to convert the frames to jpeg for example | |
| <AdamBagnall> Ah, I didn't realise astrostack was a java app | |
| <AdamBagnall> Kino is pretty good, although I've found it a bit unstable | |
| <AdamBagnall> Is your camera USB? | |
| <littletank> Yes | |
| <littletank> Astrostack is not free but seems to be good from the demo version | |
| <AdamBagnall> Is it just a webcam or a proper astro CCD? | |
| <littletank> Nothing fancy just an ordinary camcorder but it may have possibilities | |
| <AdamBagnall> I guess it has firewire then, in which case it should be fine | |
| <littletank> Yes it has firewire | |
| <littletank> When the weather improves I'll have a go | |
| <AdamBagnall> Have you tried transferring video using kino? If you want kino to be able to control your cameras |< << > || >> >| controls then there are some extra steps you need to do | |
| <littletank> For the time being it will be a case of transfering the video using Kino, which seems to work | |
| <littletank> Then the frsmes in the file produced can be converted which also works | |
| <littletank> Sorry, frames | |
| <AdamBagnall> I want to get a t-ring adapter at some point to attach my dslr to my telescope | |
| <AdamBagnall> How are you attaching your camcorder? | |
| <littletank> I have a fairly wide angle lens to which I attach a bracket to hold the camera | |
| <littletank> Thus all shots are afocal | |
| <AdamBagnall> What telescope have you got? | |
| <littletank> A relatively cheap 200mm dobsonian | |
| <littletank> I have had a go at sunspots using a baader film filter | |
| <littletank> using a simple digicamera | |
| <littletank> The moon is also easy | |
| <AdamBagnall> I've managed to get a pic of the moon just holding my old digicam to the eyepiece, I havent got any way to mount it stably enough for most things though | |
| <AdamBagnall> sunspots always blur when I just hold the camera | |
| <littletank> Results can be edited using Gimp | |
| <littletank> I don't think sunspots are really sharp | |
| <littletank> I believe that the idea of the video camera etc would go a long way to miimise the effect of camera shake | |
| <littletank> finger slip again - minimise | |
