also, updated theme on my blog after a long time. Maybe will write a post once a quarter :\
@Sathya You are talking about the reject I suppose?
@slhck By pretty much everywhere do you include the US? ;)
@HaydnWVN Yeah
Saw lots of these when I was there.
@slhck Skodas are reasonably priced, esp as a mid range sedan - hence the popularity. They're quite well built too. VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes are the luxury brands. A C-class Merc is ~ 2x Octavia.
@jokerdino yes
@Sathya Alright.
10:02
Logitech Anywhere MX any experience people?
So, with this rejected edit in mind, am I now discouraged to edit posts that aren't properly formatted in the future?
@Sathya Yup it is.. and you really don't need such a pricy car :P
@slhck yeah.. you can send your Skoda to me too, btw :P
@Sathya Wait… what, no — I need it :D
10:04
@Sathya: pfft. Ambassadors > everything
@JourneymanGeek Ambassadors FTW
assuming they still make em ;p
still in production
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustan_Ambassador vehicle in question. Much like the Enfield Bullet, the last great british vehicles are indian ;)
@JourneymanGeek Haha, nice. That's how Indian cars have always looked like in my imagination :P
10:06
o.O
Well, those cars can withstand the bumps in the road.
haha
@jokerdino @JourneymanGeek hehe
lol PADDU!
My uncle owns one of those, those things are ROOMY...
amusingly i was looking at the same article
Premier Padmini was an automobile manufactured in India from 1964 to 2000, although the "Padmini" name was not used until 1967 - the earlier cars were sold as the "Fiat 1100 Delight". The car is popularly called "Fiat". Premier Automobiles Limited, the erstwhile flagship company of India's Walchand Hirachand Group, assembled Fiat's 1100-series cars from the 1950s until 1997. Within the very limited Indian market, and especially in comparison with its main competitor the Hindustan Ambassador, the Padmini was considered quite sporting. History The Fiat 1100D, based on the Fiat 1200 GranLu...
amusingly its replacement was a fiat 124 varient
10:10
wait what is this premier padmini?
...
youngun
The other indian car ;p
heh, I think this is the taxi car :p
I can recognize the car. Just not the name.
> . It was based on the GM Vauxhall Victor FE that was made till 1979 (called VX Series in the last years of production).
wow.
It predates all of us.
The Hindustan Contessa was a model of car manufactured by Hindustan Motors(HM) of India. It was based on the GM Vauxhall Victor FE that was made till 1979 (called VX Series in the last years of production). When introduced in 1983, it was one of the few Indian manufactured luxury cars in the market. One of its few indigenous competitors was the short-lived Standard 2000 which was based on the Rover SD1. The Contessa was a popular choice amongst government officials. Contessa production ended in 2002. History By the late 1970s, HM was ready to introduce a more modern car in the Indian ...
10:14
lol
BTW, the ministers still use Ambassadors, don't they?
I remember that, for some reason, since as a kid someone mentioned 'Carror coloured contessa' to me
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lada_1300 my dad used to own a varient of this ;p
@JourneymanGeek Wow.. a Lada. Nice.
@Sathya - That's no fun! :P I don't think I can mention some of the ones I got here! No idea what I will do with them though!
@slhck bastards...
@slhck Who steals a Skoda emblem?
10:23
@OliverSalzburg Someone who hates / loves Skoda.
@OliverSalzburg Don't ask me. They stole a Toyota one too. Bored land youth, I'd say.
@WilliamHilsum At least it only costs like 10€ to replace.
sort of lucky then I guess
@OliverSalzburg LOL!
10:36
@WilliamHilsum HAHA
@slhck it's quite a major problem in my town. Steam Emblems, resell it for $$$
@Sathya Bah. Those people should better get a real job :P
Then they could buy all the emblems they want from ebay?
10:51
BUY. ALL THE EMBLEMS!
<memepicture.jpg>
@slhck: loved that car. Was a heavy temperamental cranky thing. Would break down at the worst times.
ooh, and before that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_127 series 2 Which i barely remember
Damn you guys have/had some rubbish looking cars ;)
11:08
lolol "use PCI-E for RAM?" yet building a home server... FAIL superuser.com/questions/456221/…
Bob
Bob
@HaydnWVN Apparently, some guy was looking to reduce his RAM capacity and use a flash drive. Because he thouight USB (2.0, too!) was faster...
Lots of misconceptions like this... facepalm
Well flash is FAST
but... olololololol
Then again, gimmie a netbook with 100 gig of shared RAM/Storage and i'll be happy
11:27
lol
In theory you can do that ;p
@Sathya i can read it. But i don't know what i am reading
and i see the troll face
lol
I can't read it at all
well, not much difference between you and me ;p
lol
You MIGHT have learnt some hindi in school
no chance of that happening for me ;p
i learnt the Hindi alphabet
that's it
11:36
Nor me... I got Welsh instead lol
@jokerdino "this man is laughing" -> translation ( cc @jou)
ahh, that is true ;p
thanks
"this man is laughing heh"
you finish all the sentence with a heh.
3
11:39
LOL
makes sense now. aam aadmi means poor man.
woah, i suddenly feel enlightened :p
@jokerdino heh. Nowhere close to @JourneymanGeek's lol
@jokerdino common man, actually.
@Sathya that's some 60 pages of lol right there..
@Sathya i see. i have a very poor foundation of hindi.
@Sathya: I'm shocked no one's made an app to count for that ;p
@JourneymanGeek I'll make one soon.
11:50
No, it's not NSFW
yay for dyslexia. I read that as grandpa's all back
@slhck lol
@slhck One reason why I don't stay on Facebook longer than 5 minutes everyday.
I need to pull that one on the non random hungarian
@jokerdino I haven't been on FB in like forever.
11:53
Well, don't.
Aight :D
lol
I check it once a week for family gossip ;p
I think Facebook is past its prime time.
We're hipsters ;p
11:55
@JourneymanGeek Obviously..
@jokerdino Well past it, but i still play several games on it and hate to miss anything ;)
Why do you think I prefer G+ now, even if I just lurk anyway..
(though i like g+ cause it has a geekier crowd than my FB)
so i'm guilty to using it daily P
p=:P
@JourneymanGeek G+ has a crowd at all?
11:57
@HaydnWVN heh I don't blame you much..
@slhck ...
@slhck: I have two main circles - people off SE and hungarians.
lol
half the people on G+ follow Linus.
@jokerdino scnr
@slhck Actually, not having stupid people helps prevent any brain damage ;p
11:58
@jokerdino I can understand that.
@JourneymanGeek hungarians?
@Sathya: Hungarians. Random Hungarians ;p
@JourneymanGeek lolwutwtf O_o
now if you had said Indians
Oh, they're FOAF
lol, indians would hardly be random
FOAF? I thought they were Hungrians? :P
12:02
@slhck though any benefit of not using Facebook is easily corroded by sitting on Ask Ubuntu
@HaydnWVN: I know one hungarian, 3 people who know him added me.
ok wtf?
@jokerdino lol, wherever you go, they'll find you!
and they're geeky sorts so i'm fine with it
so you have 8 people in your circle?
12:03
lol
@HaydnWVN heh don't come to AU if you can. ;-)
12 SU/SE, 3 random hungarians, one non random hungarians 22 in the people i know but never use G+ circule ;p
@jokerdino Lol i pass through occasionally, always lock my doors.
@HaydnWVN have a shotgun as you pass through. Zombies like brains, I was told.
12:05
@jokerdino Naaah, flamethrower! Cleanse with fire!
o.O
You should be in Ask Ubuntu then.
Lol don't know enough to be useful... Only support 2 Ubuntu servers... Which never have problems... So I don't need to know much :D
yarghhhhhhhhhhh
any one facing persistent notification for your last @reply in Chrome?
think the zombies got to Sath...
Lunchtime and the clementines i have are like Effort= 100, actual fruit= 40
@Sathya it keeps coming back and haunting you too?
@HaydnWVN cya
12:08
lol
@jokerdino yes
Bob
Bob
@Sathya Persistent notification?
@HaydnWVN: how are you peeling them?
@JourneymanGeek carefully
@Sathya just had another notification attack
12:09
@jokerdino I eat at my desk - comfy chair :D
.. and happened again
time to goto meta
@Sathya it is synchronizing.
@HaydnWVN lucky you
Bob
Bob
:S
Anyone mind pinging me? :P
once more..
@Bob omghi2u
12:12
@Bob
@Bob ping
Bob
Bob
huh
nothing wrong with the notifications? :\
lol, after a week with crappy headphones, the nice ones are magical.
i'll let you know when it strikes
Bob
Bob
eh
I have this open in both FF and Chrome right now
logging in on Chrome was painfully slow, for some reason

Q: Chat reply notifications not getting cleared once dismissed, keeps pinging over and over again

SathyaRunning on Chrome stable, the chat notifications seems to be pinging me repeatedly, despite having cleared them all. Example: and then few minutes later, they pop up again

(been experimenting with the pair of REALLY cheap in ears. They sound almost passable with a small amp meant for those sorts of headphones)
headphones and cheap don't belong in the same sentance :P
LOL, where did Ivo come from?
ah, teachers' lounge
i went sennheiser many years ago and i'll never go back to 'standard' headphones
even if it means spending more on headphones than i would on a TFT...
@HaydnWVN: Oh, i need a pair i don't mind destroying/can shove into a bag easily
Bob
Bob
12:16
@Sathya Where do the boxes on the right (in your second screenshot) come from?
my regular listening pair is a ATH-M50
@Bob enable desktop notifications
.. again
i've my my current pair of sennheisers for 8+ years, they've taken alot of abuse/flights/jogging daily
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino huhwhat?
12:16
@Sathya this time, it didn't happen
Bob
Bob
oh
o.O
@HaydnWVN: the cushions on mine fall apart within 2-3 years cause of the tropical weather
Bob
Bob
random Chrome feature
but god, these sound good
@Bob look around in chrome right side
12:17
@Bob Chrome, desktop notifications
Bob
Bob
I wonder if that's related...
you can enable them in FF with a plugin as well ;p
@JourneymanGeek ahhh yeah that'll do it... i've got new foam pads on mine, but they were cheap ebay ones about 3-4 years ago and still going strong
@HaydnWVN: and i appreciate these more ;p
@HaydnWVN: these has a cushioned head band
Naughty boy, I bet you're running a beta/dev version! — Ivo Flipse 3 mins ago
@IvoFlipse check first few words :P — Sathya 25 secs ago
12:18
gonna wait till it totally goes, then either replace this with another pair (and mod this) or Fisher Audio FA003 ;p
and these are really nice for the price (ok, i paid 15 quid more than i did for my monitor for these ;p)
..again
XD
blah, if anyone has bugs with beta/dev/canary versions its me ;)
@JourneymanGeek my cushion fell off my head band ages ago... But i've got a thick skull from doing -under-desk'top' support so doesn't bother me lol
@Sathya nope, not enough people pang me this time
has canary on most of my systens
@HaydnWVN: oh, this has a letherette coating thats peeling off...
tempted to duct tape it but it'd look gnarly
Bob
Bob
12:20
could this be an addon related bug?
again :|
ok I'll stop :|
Bob
Bob
I'm not seeing anything wrong with a fairly clean copy of Chrome
naw, the notification thing is part of it
duct tape?! pfffft... bit posh... use black electrical tape! Strong, cheap AND BLACK!
one moment
Bob
Bob
12:21
@JourneymanGeek interesting...
hi @balpha want some notifications?
@HaydnWVN: THATS WHAT SHE SAID
4
Bob
Bob
oh, hi @balpha
@JourneymanGeek lol
let me fire up my vanilla chrome
Ok, ping me baby one more time ;p
Bob
Bob
12:23
@JourneymanGeek While you're at it, ping me please :P
@JourneymanGeek pinged
@bob pang
Bob
Bob
let's see if desktop notifications affect it
@Bob again...
hey @balpha.
@Sathya ping
@Bob: test
12:24
let me ping myself. pfft
hmm, wierd, seems normal for me
@geek ping
Bob
Bob
Nope, nothing
@JourneymanGeek wait for a while.
@JourneymanGeek ping
~2minute heartbeat.
Bob
Bob
12:24
@Bob @Bob
Can you be a bit more specific? Does "repeatedly" mean "over and over again"? I'm asking because precisely at the time in your screenshots there was a build (and there's a known issue with possible double-pings after a build). — balpha 13 secs ago
wierd, still seems normal for me
20.0.1132.57 m
@balpha i can't reproduce it now BTW
@JourneymanGeek v21 released
other than my typing being bad
updating now ;p
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino Mine's updating just now :P
12:25
well, f. I'm on v20.
I HARDLY fire this up, i use canary and qweb in preference to vanilla chrome. FF is still my usual tho ;p
Waiting for Google Chrome to update, it occurred to me that Star Trek's "star dates" *could* be a calendar based on Chrome version numbers.
OMG it has a new icon for when the favicon hasn't loaded yet!
and the notifications came up again
12:27
This changes everything
XD
Yes it does!
ok, i got a ping that doesn't show up anywhere
@Bob ah, Bob. Just got that ping twice.
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino Still not seeing anything unusual..
Are you guys clicking on the number, or just sending a message?
yeah, more pings!
@jokerdino yep
12:29
@Bob just sending the message
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino you on 21?
nope..
Chrome for Ubuntu is yet to be updated I think.
@Sathya: not seeing the issue for me
let me check
waiting for update to install..
12:30
so wierd to see the same chat in two windows ;p
Plug another keybaord in... Makes it even weirder.
almost as weird as my spelling of keyboard
@HaydnWVN: 2 keyboards, 3 pointer devices. 2 mismatched screens, 2 computers... ;p
0.8 of a user? :P
i'm that bad i have to keep the keyboards and mice for the 3 others PC's next to my desk on top of each of the cases to remember which is which ;)
Bob
Bob
note to self: keep track of which browser I'm looking at :|
@bob hehehe it's buggy. Admit it
oh wait.
Bob
Bob
12:36
lol
@HaydnWVN: I use mouse without borders ;p
I actually would add another laptop to the array if i had space/power sockets ;p
ok, new build on.
@JourneymanGeek The additional machines and their needs change so much its just easier for me to keep them separate, I've got a KVM to use if i need it but find it easier to just switch input on my monitor (DVI & VGA)
@HaydnWVN: they're all on the same OS, and MWB is dead simple to work with, just need a key, and i can activate and deactivate systems from any one of em
MWB?
Bob
Bob
12:41
hotkeys... I can never find any space for global hotkeys :\
mouse without borders
only 'issue' is windows only
ahhh ok
ok, i am on v21.
I can live with that tho ;p
@bob that deleted message just pang me now.
<---- very tempted
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino Still not happening for me :\
you could be on a different build.
Bob
Bob
21.0.1180.60 m
previously, the same build as Geek
12:43
Version 21.0.1180.57
o.O
Bob
Bob
uhhh
wha
On 21.0.1180.60 m, no more repeated pings
I could give it a shot in canary, i get bugs WEEEKS before anyone else
o0
could be a linux thing?
> The Chrome team is excited to announce the release of Chrome 21 to the Stable Channel. 21.0.1180.57 for Mac and Linux. 21.0.1180.60 for Windows and Chrome Frame.
i thought all mainline chrome builds had a M tho
Bob
Bob
12:44
@JourneymanGeek @Sathya is on Windows XP?
maybe, i am on a win7 box at the moment
(as are all my personal systems ;p)
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek So.. XP related?
I am on Ubuntu.
Bob
Bob
My only XP VM is on my laptop, I'll check later if this hasn't been figured out by then.
people, keep pinging me until I say otherwise.
12:46
naw, @jokerdino has issues as well
@jokerdino: ok
thanks ;p
@jokerdino: np ;p
no bug so far..
@jokerdino let's see, if I get it.
though I should be leaving work now
@Sathya ping you now.
@Sathya soon-ish?
Bob
Bob
12:47
Extensions?
shut it down and go home, turning it off and on fixs things @Sathya ;p
@Bob maybe?
@JourneymanGeek last line :P
@Sathya did you have several chat windows/tabs open when that happened?
plausible, I have none since i didn't even remember i had chrome ;p
12:47
yay reproduced
Bob
Bob
The only one I have is something Norton threw in. So, what extensions do you two have in common? :P
@balpha yes, 5 tabs
yep, same persists in new build.
12:48
omg, i am getting an avalance of pings.
@jokerdino: Oh RLY?
like i got 6 pings 6 times.
fwiw I notice @jokerdino has pinned tabs - same here ( cc @balpha )
Bob
Bob
Ping me? :P
we did just have another build, so I'm still not sure this is the known build-related issue or something else
12:49
@Bob kk
@Bob boo.
@Bob pang you
Bob
Bob
Ok, now what... :P
alright, I'll be leaving now. catchya later.
Bob
Bob
cya
12:50
@Sathya cya
no pings = no notifications. \o/
Bob
Bob
Nothing here yet...
Pinned tabs, multiple chat windows open... so, an extension?
hmm or just the build related issue?
i have like some 20 different extensions / scripts
@jokerdino PING?PONG!
let's try it later.
Bob
Bob
@Bob Self ping?
12:55
good try.
Bob
Bob
@Bob Yay, self ping works
@jokerdino self ping FTW
Bob
Bob
@Bob Now, if I just do it from a different browser, they don't get cleared...
@Bob :D
@jokerdino self ping FTW
wait. what's wrong with this guy
Bob
Bob
@Bob Next step is to step away for a bit and wait
Ok, let's see this.
12:57
if it doesn't, we can conclude it is the build-related issues.
