| <asgilder> You know if it's possible to disable the timed boot up in GRUB? | |
| <stdin> yes i know, and yes it is | |
| <stdin> you need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst as root | |
| <stdin> just tryin to remember how now :p | |
| <stdin> I think you just comment the "timeout 5" out, then make sure to comment out "hidemenus" aswell | |
| <asgilder> Thanks | |
| <stdin> no problem | |
| <tsmithe> howdy | |

| <apokryphos> hm, thinking of replacing the flakes with fireballs | |
| <GazzaK> heheeee | |
| <GazzaK> shame you can't animate the flakes, so they are flaming fireballs | |
| <GazzaK> it's supposed to be a freezing hell | |
| <GazzaK> hehee | |
| <GazzaK> http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/7716/screenshotxn9.png | |
| <dsas> things that rule: guessing the name of a method and getting it right first try. | |
| <apokryphos> http://youmortals.com/stuff/fireball.png | |
| <apokryphos> doesn't really look like fireballs unfortunately | |
| <apokryphos> tried to adapt http://zero.navi.cx/gallery/d/7486-2/fireball.png | |
| <apokryphos> http://youmortals.com/stuff/fireball.jpg even | |
| <GazzaK> sadly it looks nothing like a fireball | |
| <GazzaK> no trail | |
| <apokryphos> yeah | |
| <apokryphos> went into a mac shop the other day | |
| <apokryphos> the guy was showing me the insane amount of composite effects this program had.. hm, can't remember the name | |
| <apokryphos> makes you cry a little. Shows how cheap our burn effect is compared to the real thing | |
| <GazzaK> yeah | |
| <GazzaK> what mac shop?# | |
| <GazzaK> the nearest to me, is like bluewater, and thats the apple store | |
| <apokryphos> on the Strand, London | |
| <apokryphos> it is an apple store | |
| <apokryphos> though there's a great one on Regent street too IIRC | |
| <GazzaK> bluewaters is good, but not that good | |
| <apokryphos> they've got like a 42" (or similar) monitor in there | |
| <apokryphos> the quality is crazy; so crisp | |
| <GazzaK> yeah | |
| <apokryphos> the system has FOUR! freakin' Nvidia 7800 cards | |
| <apokryphos> specs on some top macs are insane | |
| <GazzaK> when I move I'm getting a mac mini and a 32" tft screen | |
| <GazzaK> thats good enough for me | |
| <apokryphos> heh | |
| <apokryphos> that's amazing | |
| <GazzaK> a 1.83Ghz mac mini with a dell 32" LCD tv | |
| <GazzaK> can run the tv at 1366x768 | |
| <apokryphos> http://www.youmortals.com/stuff/realtimecompositing.avi | |
| <GazzaK> which will be fun for playing dvd's and stuff | |
| <apokryphos> that isn't the composite manager thing I was shown, but it's basically the same stuff | |
| <apokryphos> you'll see there what I mean by a real burn effect =) | |
| <apokryphos> yeah, it'd be great | |
| <GazzaK> linky no worky | |
| <apokryphos> sorry, try again | |
| <GazzaK> wow, thats ace | |
| <GazzaK> me want it | |
| <GazzaK> now | |
| <apokryphos> yeah. If that doesn't make you cry :P | |
| <GazzaK> thats amazing - will it run on my mac mini? | |
| <apokryphos> I don't really know about it | |
| <apokryphos> but this program the guy showed me literally had a few hundred crisp effects like this | |
| <apokryphos> it's used in videos, creating given effects, etc | |
| <apokryphos> Macs are heavily used in editing of course | |
| <GazzaK> it's amazing | |
| <GazzaK> where can I go today - to buy cheap presents for parents and brother? | |
| <GazzaK> got a lack of money at the mo, till I move house | |
| <apokryphos> I haven't got any presents for my brothers or parents. Only my sisters | |
| <apokryphos> got my girlfriend to choose some clothes out. Must think of stuff for the others though. | |
| <GazzaK> poor brothers | |
| <GazzaK> it might have to be cheap rubbish from Tescos :'( | |
| <selinuxium> apokryphos: BHS are doing presents at half price. Wow, real time compositing. Me want me want.. | |
| <apokryphos> sounds good; might check it out | |

| <sheepeatingtaz> tsmithe: are you about yet? | |
| <tsmithe> i'm about | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> you never answered my pong ;) | |
| <tsmithe> ah | |
| <tsmithe> i left | |
| <tsmithe> wanted to congratulate you on your engagement | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> can you tell me a bit more about these popups? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> ah, OK, cheers | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I thought you wanted to bitch about my website :) | |
| <tsmithe> and, yeah, on, err... epiphany it was, the meebome widget gave me 20 popups | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> @lart meebome | |
| * Ubugtu thwacks meebome with a BIG POINTY HOBBSEE OF DOOM | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I've never known it do that before | |
| <tsmithe> i frequently have it happen with epiphany on other sites as well | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> what were the popups? the widget itself? | |
| <tsmithe> no | |
| <tsmithe> adverts for it | |
| <tsmithe> i seem to recall | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I will file it as a bug with them. | |
| <tsmithe> i'm using firefox atm | |
| <tsmithe> hang on | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I don't have epiphany, so I can't reproduce it | |
| <popey> url? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> www.sheepeatingtaz.co.uk/blog | |
| <tsmithe> weird... | |
| <tsmithe> it didn't happen just then | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> or www.boothferrydancentre.com | |
| <GazzaK> OMG teh popups, they burn | |
| <tsmithe> although there are apparently "2 hidden advertisements" | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> hmm | |
| * tsmithe is off | |
| <tsmithe> byez | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> tara | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> thanks for letting me know about the issue | |
| <diocles> No popups in Epiphany here, with adblock enabled. | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I don't get any popups in FF, Konq or IE. And I don't have any external pop-up blockers installed. | |
| * diocles turns it off... hrm... | |
| <diocles> You're right. A false positive? Some bit of Javascript will be disabled. | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I'm planning on scrapping the meebome widget soon anyway. I don't log onto meebo enough to make it worthwhile. | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I'm going to look at the Wengo one instead, as I use that more. | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> thanks for looking though | |
| <diocles> Ah well. Congratulations on your engagement. :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> diocles: thanks :) | |
| <littletank> Hello, thought I might listen for a while | |
| <jamesbrose> oh-kay | |
| <littletank> I want to run Kino but I am told that the IEEE Subsystem is not responding any ideas on what to do? | |
| <littletank> basically my firewire system isn't working | |
| <littletank> I think I'll go and have my tea and try again later | |
| <jamesbrose> BLEH! | |
| <littletank> Hello = I would like to be able to grab video from my digital camcorder using kino and am looking for advice | |
| <jamesbrose> go on.. | |
| <littletank> The problem is that I am informed by kino that the IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding | |
| <littletank> I am using 6.10 | |
| <littletank> reference is made to /dev/raw1394 which I do not appear to have | |
| <littletank> I would appreciate some help on what I should look for or do | |
| <littletank> Before you ask I am using a firewire connection | |
| <littletank> Ah well, I tried but I assume there is no one out there who can help. | |
| <littletank> Back to Google. | |
| <littletank> good night | |
| <jamesbrose> Extremely quite | |
| <jamesbrose> Anybody got anything interesting to talk about? | |
