  261. [19:08] <snekeel> quite the difference
  262. [19:08] <SkoolKid> New job, new wife, new country, new life
  263. [19:08] <SkoolKid> It's important to make these things rhyme
  264. [19:08] <Spector> you'll wake up the first day there and think... where am I? WHO am I????
  265. [19:08] <mheide> The last year and a half has been a rollercoaster ride. I might be the luckiest guy on the planet. :-)
  266. [19:08] <wallyweek> :)
  267. [19:08] <Spector> :D
  268. [19:08] <Alessandro> ACTION claps hands
  269. [19:08] <bloodbaz> :-)
  270. [19:08] <mheide> It'll be my third continent to live in. :-)
  271. [19:08] <wallyweek> whoooopieee!
  272. [19:08] <Alessandro> great!
  273. [19:09] <Myke-P> You have checked she wasn't a C64 owner, back in the 80s?
  274. [19:09] <wallyweek> lol
  275. [19:09] <Spector> imagine she was hiding that from you
  276. [19:09] <The_Bert> europe being the first, and second must have been.. Antarctica?
  277. [19:09] <Alessandro> like a certain person's wife? ;)
  278. [19:09] <mheide> Europe was the second.
  279. [19:09] <The_Bert> ah i see
  280. [19:10] <Guesser> cirkey
  281. [19:10] <Guesser> oops/
  282. [19:10] <wallyweek> quite a surprise.... thought you were from holland... aren't you?
  283. [19:10] <The_Bert> name's dutch for sure
  284. [19:10] <mheide> I was born in South America (my dad worked there for a couple of years). I've always been Dutch, but lived there for a whole year. :-)
  285. [19:11] <wallyweek> dutch name, great fame
  286. [19:11] <wallyweek> (this rhymes too) :)
  287. [19:11] <Alarm> What we all want to know is...
  288. [19:11] <Alessandro> Now that's a surprise!
  289. [19:11] <Alarm> do you still have that moustache?
  290. [19:11] <The_Bert> ah i see, what an interesting life you'v e had Martijn :)
  291. [19:11] <mheide> Nope, the moustache has gone. Wedding promise...
  292. [19:12] <The_Bert> still have, of course
  293. [19:12] <Alarm> Well, that killed the chat!
  294. [19:12] <Spector> I'd just like to say that you were for years in charge of the best website of its kind on the internet. No other Retro Gaming site (and there are many) was as good.
  295. [19:12] <The_Bert> sorry
  296. [19:13] <Alarm> No, my comment, Bert. I was joking. :)
  297. [19:13] <The_Bert> i agree with spector
  298. [19:13] <Alessandro> And we thank you all for that.
  299. [19:13] <Alessandro> we all thank you for that
  300. [19:13] <balford> agreed
  301. [19:13] <wallyweek> +1
  302. [19:13] <SkoolKid> We thank you for all that, too
  303. [19:14] <Spector> always looked upon WOS as being so stable, so reliable and authoritative. It was just so slick and professional without being overproduced.
  304. [19:14] <Spector> You did the Spectrum more justice online than anyone else.
  305. [19:14] <Spector> And who would have thought that it would be down to a Dutchman born in South America??? :D
  306. [19:14] <Alessandro> the flying dutchman, indeed
  307. [19:15] <Alessandro> unless you came to Europe by ship
  308. [19:15] <Alessandro> :-D
  309. [19:15] <mheide> I've always said that WoS belongs to all of us - I just worked here. So, naturally, I handed it over to a competent team.
  310. [19:15] <The_Bert> why the past tense, Spector? i thin WoS is still really great
  311. [19:16] <Spector> I know, I'm referring to martijn's time, not that time is up for WOS
  312. [19:16] <Spector> we need the various infoseek sections updated to their former magnificence, though I know that can't be done with a snap of the fingers
  313. [19:16] <The_Bert> well, Martijn, without your hard work, and vision, WoS wouldn't have been what it is now
  314. [19:17] <Ardentcrest> a place for sad lonely gamers from the 80's
  315. [19:18] <Spector> that's right, it has been.... what?!?
  316. [19:18] <wallyweek> or for children of sad lonely gamers from the 80's ;-)
  317. [19:18] <mheide> I might get back one day, who knows. But for now, my evenings are filled with Skype.
  318. [19:18] <Alarm> Not for much longer. :)
  319. [19:19] <Spector> I think you should come back even if only once a year to make a post, saying how you are etc etc. It wouldn't take long to do that, there's no need to disappear completely.
  320. [19:19] <The_Bert> that would be nice, Martijn, if you could pop in occasionally, and tell us how you're doin :)
  321. [19:19] <mheide> That's true, but then my timezone will be GMT+7. :-)
  322. [19:19] <Ardentcrest> funny name for a baby "Skype"
  323. [19:19] <mheide> Ah, yes, babies could certainly come next.
  324. [19:19] <Alarm> Well, it was either that or "Zzapp!"...

  541. [19:48] <mheide> Of all the stacks of paperwork, this morning was the most awkward one: deregistering from my country. I no longer live here, officially. Yikes!
  542. [19:48] <The_Bert> :O
  543. [19:48] <The_Bert> :o
  544. [19:48] <HackersAnon> Erk.. They're going to kick your door in and deport you?
  545. [19:48] <HackersAnon> [knock knock]
  546. [19:48] <Timmy> oh
  547. [19:48] <Alessandro> So you have double citizenship now or are you fully a subject of His Majesty the King of Thailand?
  548. [19:49] <HackersAnon> [knock knock knock]
  549. [19:49] <The_Bert> the latter it would seem, Alessandro
  550. [19:49] <mheide> I'll remain Dutch for the moment; I get a chance to become Thai after a number of years (no double citizenship allowed).
  551. [19:49] <HackersAnon> So the paperwork was fun, then, Martijn?
  552. [19:49] <The_Bert> oh
  553. [19:50] <mheide> No fun at all.
  554. [19:50] <Alessandro> ACTION nods in understanding
  555. [19:50] <Timmy> wow
  556. [19:50] <mheide> In and out of embassies for months.
  557. [19:50] <The_Bert> yikes
  558. [19:50] <mheide> First for the marriage, then for emigration.
  559. [19:50] <mheide> But well worth it, I hasten to add.
  560. [19:50] <HackersAnon> (Is the right answer)
  561. [19:51] <The_Bert> i believe you
  562. [19:51] *** player has quit IRC (http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
  563. [19:51] <Alessandro> I am sure, Martijn.
  564. [19:51] <HackersAnon> So when do you ship out, as it were?
  565. [19:51] <mheide> Did I ever tell you I am deeply in love? :D
  566. [19:51] <HackersAnon> With me? Yes you did
  567. [19:52] <mheide> Oh.
  568. [19:52] <HackersAnon> But we put it down to the lager
  569. [19:52] <mheide> Oops.
  570. [19:52] <The_Bert> we sort of got the idea, i think ;)
  571. [19:52] <HackersAnon> And moved on

  583. [19:54] <Timmy> so what happened?

  595. [19:55] <crisis> families in asia stay long to gether
  596. [19:56] <mheide> Yes, they are more like strong communities.
  597. [19:56] <Timmy> so are you going to stay in their home or did you bought a new house?
  598. [19:56] <mheide> We have an apartment of our own.
  599. [19:57] <Timmy> a lot smaller than the houses over here?
  600. [19:57] <Fil> Do you still have your guinea pigs?
  601. [19:58] <mheide> It's smaller than what I have now, but then, normally 10 people live in the same amount of space.
  602. [19:58] <crisis> about the max image sie on WOS :

  604. [19:58] <mheide> My guinea pigs will go to my mom this week. I'll miss them. :-(

  613. [20:00] <HackersAnon> ADJB!
  614. [20:00] <crisis> maybe they like to travel and you could make them guinea postpigs
  615. [20:01] <mheide> Sadly, animals must go into quarantine for 6 months before they are allowed in Thailand, and by that time they will most likely be dead (they're relatively old already).
  616. [20:01] <The_Bert> sorry to hear that :(
  617. [20:01] <Timmy> well, you can still skype them every day...
  618. [20:01] <mheide> So I'll probably never see them again.
  619. [20:01] <wallyweek> that's so bad :(

  817. [20:25] <polomint> woohoo
  818. [20:25] <HackersAnon> Robots
  819. [20:25] <HackersAnon> Daleks
  820. [20:25] <polomint> I welcome the new alien overlords of WoS
  821. [20:25] <polomint> heh
  822. [20:25] <The_Bert> men in black
  823. [20:25] <XvarZ> Christ?
  824. [20:25] <Alessandro> ACTION joins the Resistance
  825. [20:25] <Fil> Men in Bright Black, no less.
  826. [20:25] <mheide> The Thai.
  827. [20:25] <HackersAnon> Xvarz - well, it's nearly his birthday I guess
  828. [20:25] <dakidski> I see... Heard rumours it might be Horace
  829. [20:25] <polomint> Anna from V would be a good admin, ;)
  830. [20:25] <Alessandro> Or Eugene.
  831. [20:25] <pak21> ACTION is in the Enlightened (sorry, that's an Ingress joke...)
  832. [20:26] <bloodbaz> Matthew Smith
  833. [20:26] <The_Bert> darn, i had hoped it would be Karellen
  834. [20:26] <pak21> bloodbaz: I like that idea.
  835. [20:26] <pak21> Now we just need to find him *again*.
  836. [20:26] <HackersAnon> Did you look behind the fridge?
  837. [20:26] <pak21> Maybe we should ask Steve Wilcox of Elite :-)
  838. [20:26] <HackersAnon> If you lose something, it's nearly almost always there
  839. [20:26] <The_Bert> nooooo
  840. [20:26] <Alessandro> Uncle Clive
  841. [20:27] <Guesser> get it right polo!
  842. [20:27] <The_Bert> SIR Uncle Clive :P

  847. [20:27] <snekeel> Calm down folks, I have it on good authority that these aliens are Bert, Ernie, Dr. Teeth and the Great Gonzo...nothing at all to worry about.
  848. [20:27] <The_Bert> whew
  849. [20:27] <polomint> WoS probing for new users hehe
  850. [20:27] <pak21> Oh. I hoped it was going to be Big Bird.
  851. [20:27] <Fil> Elite should run WoS.
  852. [20:27] <Alessandro> Or Cookie Monster.
  853. [20:28] <john_metcalf> What time does the auction start?
  854. [20:28] <polomint> dont say big bird, rubberkeys will turn up!!
  855. [20:28] <polomint> :D
  856. [20:28] <mheide> I'm an alien myself now. :D
  857. [20:28] <john_metcalf> I assume we're here because WoS is being auctioned off on IRC?
  858. [20:28] <snekeel> Big Bird declined....wage demend....selfish plick
  859. [20:28] *** Myke-P is now known as Sir
  860. [20:28] <The_Bert> a legal alien, though

  862. [20:28] *** Sir is now known as Myke-P
  863. [20:28] <HackersAnon> Dammit, Alessandro - beat me to it
  864. [20:28] <Myke-P> That didn't work. :)
  865. [20:28] <The_Bert> ACTION hi-5's Alessandro
  866. [20:28] <pak21> I was desperately trying to keep that out of my head.
  867. [20:28] <FogartyLee> Technically, WoS should go to Alan Sugar...
  868. [20:28] <pak21> I hate you all :-)
  869. [20:28] <HackersAnon> Erk = 15 mins left on battery.. Back in a minute
  870. [20:28] <Guesser> rubberkeys was hoping it'd be A big bird
  871. [20:28] <bloodbaz> ADJB could talk us to death as a mod ;-) (but at least we will be laughing to our demise)
  872. [20:29] <dakidski> So have we all been introduced? Good, let's go
  873. [20:29] <polomint> Thats worse than the Bubble Bobble tune, ewww
  874. [20:29] <Alessandro> lol!
  875. [20:29] <Fil> I vote for ewgf to write the concise "What's New" updates for WoS.
  876. [20:29] <Guesser> lol

  879. [20:29] <Timmy> so how is the weather in Thailand? 30+ degrees?
  880. [20:30] <polomint> hot hot hot...
  881. [20:30] <dakidski> is there an irc client for the spectranet interface btw?
  882. [20:30] <polomint> yes, somewhere
  883. [20:30] <dakidski> kewl
  884. [20:30] <pak21> dakidski: yes, but it's a bit sucky.
  885. [20:30] <Guesser> a BIT?
  886. [20:30] <mheide> 33 in daytime, "only" 22 during the night at the moment.
  887. [20:30] <polomint> a little bit
  888. [20:31] <Guesser> it's barely usable :)
  889. [20:31] <^Me> Yes
  890. [20:31] <mheide> Thankfully we have airco.
  891. [20:31] <Timmy> oh i missed that kind of weather :X

  897. [20:31] <Timmy> well, not me :)
  898. [20:32] <Guesser> I dunno
  899. [20:32] <dakidski> Btw, kinda side topic, am I the only one worried for our Spectrum-brothers in Ukraine? They had a huge scene not long ago
  900. [20:32] <HackersAnon> Dunno - someone called Martine Heide, or something
  901. [20:32] <^Me> Why don't they take their shoes off?
  902. [20:32] <The_Bert> ACTION is a 61 yo dane
  903. [20:32] <Guesser> I close the client for a couple of hours and look what happened!
  904. [20:32] <^Me> :D
  905. [20:32] <Guesser> been online for months, nice and peaceful
  906. [20:32] <HackersAnon> Guesser - we ate all the biscuits... Sorry!
  907. [20:32] <Guesser> then all these noisy people turn up! :)
  908. [20:32] <HackersAnon> And I wouldn't look in the bin in your bathroom... Not pleasant
  909. [20:32] <Alessandro> Me want cookie!
  910. [20:33] <pak21> dakidski: I don't know specifically about Spec-chums, but from a friend who is Ukranian, it's OK in most of the country - the east is "somewhat volatile" though.
  911. [20:33] <dakidski> ok
  912. [20:33] <dakidski> nice to hear
  913. [20:33] <HackersAnon> I tried flushing it, but it tried to bite me, so I left it alone
  914. [20:33] <^Me> @@
  915. [20:33] <Timmy> Ukrania has problems with falling planes lately
  916. [20:34] <HackersAnon> Someone really needs to look at their diet
  917. [20:34] <Timmy> all about it on the dutch tv
  918. [20:34] <mheide> Would you believe chocolate is an unknown thing in Thailand? I won't be allowed in the house if I don't bring a stack.
  919. [20:34] <HackersAnon> Take a cargo load - you'll be a God among mere mortals!
  920. [20:34] <Timmy> also bring stroopwafels over there
  921. [20:34] <The_Bert> mmmm dutch chocolate - yummy
  922. [20:35] <Timmy> that's really the only thing i bring when im on holidays
  923. [20:35] <mheide> Stroopwafels are packed as well, yes. :-)
  924. [20:35] <Alessandro> Droste... Van Houten... mmmm :)
  925. [20:35] <dakidski> so whats the order of the night? Anyone got the plan for this event?
  926. [20:35] <HackersAnon> Dakidski - that sounds rather formal :)
  927. [20:35] <The_Bert> i think Martijn HAD a plan
  928. [20:35] <dakidski> lol, im just trash talking
  929. [20:35] <Guesser> ACTION bangs gavel
  930. [20:35] <mheide> There should be the revealing of plans for the new WoS.
  931. [20:35] <dakidski> until the boss shows up
  932. [20:36] <polomint> ACTION bangs....
  933. [20:36] <polomint> nope not saying that heh
  934. [20:36] <HackersAnon> mheide - think that's what folk are waiting on...
  935. [20:36] <HackersAnon> When is Sir Clive turning up?
  936. [20:36] <dakidski> when his C5 starts
  937. [20:36] <HackersAnon> Man's been tardy since he started dating younger models
  938. [20:37] <The_Bert> don't count on that, Anon
  939. [20:37] <dakidski> its still charging
  940. [20:37] <polomint> ACTION has SirClive on ignore
  941. [20:37] <polomint> oh wait, thats #speccy heh
  942. [20:37] <HackersAnon> Heh
  943. [20:37] <pak21> By all accounts, the real SirClive doesn't get the Internet.
  944. [20:37] <pak21> Bit of a shame, really.
  945. [20:37] <mheide> I was sort of expecting the team would reveal themselves.
  946. [20:38] <Myke-P> That reminds me, I never got 'round to watching that 'Micro Men' documentary
  947. [20:38] <polomint> sometime this year preferably lol
  948. [20:38] <Guesser> ACTION wheels in a bug cardboard cake
  949. [20:38] <john_metcalf> ACTION bumped into Sir Clive while wearing a "Sinclair" t-shirt!
  950. [20:38] <Alessandro> He's still a bit off for that f***ing Jet Set Willy thing
  951. [20:38] <HackersAnon> Will I start?
  952. [20:38] <HackersAnon> :)
  953. [20:38] <dakidski> plz do
  954. [20:39] <mheide> Here we go.
  955. [20:39] <HackersAnon> heh - I was just kidding!!! :)
  956. [20:39] <Myke-P> ACTION rips off mask in a super-villainous gesture suggesting; "It's me!"
  957. [20:39] <dakidski> whaaaa
  958. [20:39] <polomint> pesky kids
  959. [20:39] <mheide> Get off my lawn!
  960. [20:39] <dakidski> so while we wait, teach me to use my damn divmmc from tr-dos
  961. [20:39] <HackersAnon> I'm on the team, but I've not been involved with the background work enough to speak for the team :)
  962. [20:40] <HackersAnon> There's your starter for 10. Hello, I'm Gerard and I'm a WoSer
  963. [20:40] <dakidski> hi Gerard
  964. [20:40] <The_Bert> hi Gerard :)
  965. [20:40] <wallyweek> Hello Gerard!
  966. [20:40] <mheide> Hi Gerard!
  967. [20:40] <Alessandro> Hi Gerard :-D
  968. [20:40] <HackersAnon> (We've known that for ages. A complete and utter WoSser. Ed)
  969. [20:41] <dakidski> Im dakidski and I'm new to WOS. Only reaquired my speccy last month, after 15-20 years break
  970. [20:41] <XvarZ> And what is going to be your role at Wos?
  971. [20:41] <The_Bert> better late than neve :)
  972. [20:41] <The_Bert> +r
  973. [20:41] <snekeel> I'm guessing if anyone was going to take over Gerard was one to do so, given his experience already with The Tipshop
  974. [20:41] <HackersAnon> Eep.. Unless things change dramatically, I'll be carrying on with helping out with WoS as I've always done
  975. [20:42] <dakidski> what is the tipshop?
  976. [20:42] <HackersAnon> Recording corrections, hunting for authors
  977. [20:42] <HackersAnon> dadkidski - www.the-tipshop.co.uk
  978. [20:42] <dakidski> ty
  979. [20:42] <Fil> Ahh, I've just remembered I found someone who (IIRC, would be willing to give his permission, etc). Some time ago.
  980. [20:42] <The_Bert> @dakidski tipshop is a place to find cheats, pokes, and hints for all the games
  981. [20:42] <john_metcalf> Okay, I won't keep you waiting any longer. I'm taking over World of Spectrum so I can merge it with a C64 site. Expect to see a major shift towards C64 games :-P
  982. [20:42] <Guesser> hurrah!
  983. [20:42] <dakidski> omg, elite site, thanks
  984. [20:42] <HackersAnon> Fil - can you mail me hs details?
  985. [20:42] <Guesser> and wonderfully specific too, well done :)
  986. [20:43] <Fil> I'll have to get back in touch with him, but I will do, yes.
  987. [20:43] <HackersAnon> Nice one
  988. [20:43] <snekeel> I had Nigel Spieght give me permission....then my hard drive crashed and I lost it...bah!
  989. [20:43] <Timmy> yay, we had wos and now ppl wants lemons instead?
  990. [20:43] <HackersAnon> Maybe we'll make lemonade?
  991. [20:44] <The_Bert> wosonade
  992. [20:44] <mheide> The thing is, WoS is a hacked-together site. It works well, but is a nightmare to maintain if you are not me.
  993. [20:44] <FogartyLee> Ok folks, I am taking over the server and will be transferring the forums and data in their entirity....
  994. [20:44] <Fil> Ahh, it was the chap behind the Lumpsoft games.
  995. [20:44] <mheide> The goal of the new team is to setup a new system that can actually be maintained by others.
  996. [20:44] <Guesser> what about the ircd foggy?
  997. [20:45] <FogartyLee> We have a team in place that will have access to the server, and will be processing the backlog once we are certain that it's working 100%
  998. [20:45] <dakidski> mheide: good plan
  999. [20:45] <mheide> And that has been worked on for a while by the terrific team who will take over.
  1000. [20:45] <The_Bert> @Martijn it sounds like they've got their work cut out for them
  1001. [20:45] <john_metcalf> HackersAnon: you should talk to the Centre for Computing History. They often have game authors popping in.
  1002. [20:45] <balford> Any planned changes to the Infoseek API as a result of the migration?
  1003. [20:46] <pak21> balford: initially, no. Longer term, who knows?
  1004. [20:46] <Fil> The initial few updates will be time consuming for sure, but once the backlog is gone, it should be fairly simple to have more regular updates.
  1005. [20:46] <FogartyLee> Any changes to WoS will be next year. I have half a system pre-written but work time took over so for now we are cloning WoS instead of releasing a new one
  1006. [20:46] <pak21> As Lee said, the initial plan is just to move the server over from Martijn's machine to a new home.
  1007. [20:46] <dakidski> ok
  1008. [20:46] <balford> @pak21: cool, just curious :)
  1009. [20:47] <pak21> So nothing changes, except that we've exiled Martijn to Thailand :-)
  1010. [20:47] <dakidski> what if everything fails, will there be dumped a backup of everything on say, pirate bay? just for safety reasons
  1011. [20:47] <dakidski> or to usenet?
  1012. [20:47] <The_Bert> well, for a "hacked-together" site, WoS has been working quite well in my opinion
  1013. [20:48] <pak21> The_Bert: that's because you don't see the countless hours Martijn puts in to make it look so good.
  1014. [20:48] <FogartyLee> each team member will have full FTP access, and the server is backed up daily. It's also on RAID.
  1015. [20:48] <dakidski> ok
  1016. [20:48] <The_Bert> yes i'm sure that's th ease, pak21
  1017. [20:48] <Timmy> what can possibly go wrong then? heh? :P
  1018. [20:48] <The_Bert> famous last words:P
  1019. [20:48] <HackersAnon> I could delete everything. Mwahahah
  1020. [20:48] <dakidski> c64 fans could use our weakness
  1021. [20:49] <dakidski> to attack
  1022. [20:49] <HackersAnon> I'll be quiet, now
  1023. [20:49] <FogartyLee> Initially, setting up the clone can go wrong, but it will be tested before we switch
  1024. [20:49] <pak21> In many ways, the initial change reduces the "bus factor" - but the longer term is to rework things so that maintainance can be shared, which is really can't at the moment.
  1025. [20:49] <Guesser> ah, you figured out how to write to all 8 microdrives simultaneously!
  1026. [20:49] <Guesser> :)
  1027. [20:49] <Alessandro> I was sure Martjin would have been taking all the necessary measures to avoid any harm to the website, after all the time, work and care he always put into it.
  1028. [20:49] <balford> :D
  1029. [20:49] <The_Bert> lol
  1030. [20:49] <pak21> And that's what Lee's working on - but it's a *big* job.
  1031. [20:49] <HackersAnon> Yep - what Pak21 said. Wos in its current setup is really geared for a single admin.
  1032. [20:49] <HackersAnon> The migration is heading for a more "team-based" setup
  1033. [20:50] <HackersAnon> So that not everything needs to be done by one individual
  1034. [20:50] *** AC992 has quit IRC (WoS forever!)
  1035. [20:50] <The_Bert> sounds good
  1036. [20:50] <HackersAnon> That's the plan, anyway :)
  1037. [20:50] <balford> well migrations are never fun, so appreciate all the efforts to do so!
  1038. [20:51] <XvarZ> And when is it going to b fully working? Updates I mean?
  1039. [20:51] <mheide> Yes, it does, I'm really happy about the work done so far.

  1060. [20:52] <Timmy> yeah, sounds like peopla can only enter when others leaves
  1061. [20:52] <pak21> Personally, I haven't used FTP in an enterprise scenario for years. There are far better protocols out there these days.
  1062. [20:52] <aowen> I switched off the security and it let me in
  1063. [20:53] <snekeel> probably one of the worst things you can do to a site, your site, is hand it over to someone else.....ask MobyGames and what it became.
  1064. [20:53] <mheide> Apparently a SIGHUP is not enough. They'd best opt for the Java client then.

  1072. [20:54] <bloodbaz> Do we know what the new server hosting will be? Is it a VM? Dedicated Server? A machine at home (:-/)
  1073. [20:54] <Guesser> when everyone's stuck behind NAT
  1074. [20:54] <dakidski> well, its great for leeching lotsa files

  1082. [20:55] <bloodbaz> And is funding an issue for the server?
  1083. [20:55] <Guesser> it's just a pain to configure and get working properly
  1084. [20:55] <FogartyLee> Initially we have no option but to use FTP, once the new site is coded FTP will be gone...

  1086. [20:55] <mheide> What??? :D
  1087. [20:55] <Guesser> especially when there are consumer routers out there that mangle the packets beyond recognition
  1088. [20:55] <pak21> bloodbaz: No. Despite rumours that may have been spread by people who should have known better.
  1089. [20:56] <_Subzero> ACTION deals a fatality to all loving speccy owners :p
  1090. [20:56] <_Subzero> ello
  1091. [20:56] <The_Bert> hello sub
  1092. [20:56] <pak21> Hello Cambridge type :-p
  1093. [20:56] <FogartyLee> There are no funding issues. Ignore what you read on facebook lol
  1094. [20:56] <dakidski> mheide, what will you be moving on to then?
  1095. [20:56] <Alessandro> Hi Subzero
  1096. [20:56] <bloodbaz> re: funding. Good to know.
  1097. [20:56] <snekeel> or wikipedia
  1098. [20:56] <HackersAnon> The Facebook cake is a lie
  1099. [20:56] <_Subzero> ACTION readsa facebook and ignores ALL

  1101. [20:56] <_Subzero> ooft readsa??
  1102. [20:57] <dakidski> whats the forecast of the spectrum scene? Growth, decline?
  1103. [20:57] <_Subzero> so how many of us got here via facebook then....me
  1104. [20:57] <dakidski> me
  1105. [20:57] <HackersAnon> Dakidski - if folk continue to develop, then growth :)
  1106. [20:57] <The_Bert> ohh, i have a question: will it be possible to change username? i'm kind of tired of being The_Bert
  1107. [20:58] <bloodbaz> slash nick
  1108. [20:58] <Guesser> ACTION can confidently predict that the long term trend will be decline :p
  1109. [20:58] <The_Bert> i would much rather be BertyFromDK

  1117. [20:58] <The_Bert> i have no plans of dying in the foreseeable future, gusser nernerner
  1118. [20:59] <pak21> You may be spotting a theme in these answers :-)
  1119. [20:59] <Guesser> hehe
  1120. [20:59] <FogartyLee> The forums will be copied 'as is' along with all of the posts. I'm sure one of the new admins will find time to change your name
  1121. [20:59] <dakidski> again, what if all this flops, is WOS gone forever?
  1122. [20:59] <dakidski> shouldnt users be granted a torrentfile with all content, just in case?
  1123. [20:59] <Guesser> lol
  1124. [20:59] <FogartyLee> lol
  1125. [20:59] <XvarZ> Lol
  1126. [20:59] <pak21> Why? You don't own any of it.
  1127. [20:59] <bloodbaz> So we don't expect any loss of posts, no user profile data (created date, private posts etc..)
  1128. [20:59] <balford> I find his lack of faith disturbing :)
  1129. [21:00] <FogartyLee> the forums will be the easiest to set up :)
  1130. [21:00] <The_Bert> as do i, balford
  1131. [21:00] *** polomint is now known as Po
  1132. [21:00] <pak21> bloodbaz: No. We're going to copy the files from Martijn's server to Lee's.
  1133. [21:00] <bloodbaz> @adkidski, the powers that be will have backups AND archives of the server so I don't think anything will be lost accidently.
  1134. [21:00] <Timmy> oh, so you're moving the server to the uk?
  1135. [21:00] <dakidski> ok, i'm just worried for posterity, im a historian by day ;)
  1136. [21:01] <The_Bert> good to hear, bloodbaz :)
  1137. [21:01] <pak21> Timmy: not physically. But logically, yes.
  1138. [21:01] <FogartyLee> incidentally, the forums will be on a seperate server to WoS so if there is a problem with the WoS server, the forums will still be functioning
  1139. [21:01] <HackersAnon> And vice versa
  1140. [21:01] <HackersAnon> :)
  1141. [21:01] <The_Bert> also good to know
  1142. [21:02] <Alessandro> Anyone remember the Great Forum Crash of 2001? That's not going to happen again this way :)
  1143. [21:02] <Timmy> good to know. also know that staying in NL it avoids lots of complex laws :)
  1144. [21:02] <Alessandro> I mean the Great WOS Forum Crash
  1145. [21:02] <The_Bert> that was before my time as a WoS'er
  1146. [21:02] <Timmy> you mean not that one last year?
  1147. [21:02] <HackersAnon> No, greater than that one
  1148. [21:02] <The_Bert> yikes
  1149. [21:02] <Timmy> ^
  1150. [21:02] <balford> before mine too
  1151. [21:03] <Guesser> if you go by wos join date it was before everyone's :)
  1152. [21:03] <Guesser> except martijn :)
  1153. [21:03] <The_Bert> was about to say that
  1154. [21:03] <bloodbaz> It would be good if Guesser and the new crew could post up a sticky thread on the progress. Also, with a FAQ of many of the questions that are raised to dispell myths etc. once and for all. It woudl be good to have a central thread summarising the moderators, and other users that champion other parts of WOS. Thanks for all your hard work BTW.
  1155. [21:04] <Alessandro> No, at least the posts were saved. Notice how many profiles (including mine) start at 28-02-2002
  1156. [21:04] <Guesser> wow, a promotion!
  1157. [21:04] <Guesser> ;p;
  1158. [21:04] <Guesser> no-one asked for MY help bloodbaz ;)
  1159. [21:04] <Alessandro> In 2001 the forum crashed and everything was lost :(
  1160. [21:04] <dakidski> what about apps? Some emus load data and tapes directly from WOS
  1161. [21:04] <snekeel> dispelling lies...sorry myths, on the forums would be a good thing
  1162. [21:04] <The_Bert> but you'll volunterr, right guesser? ;)
  1163. [21:05] <bloodbaz> :-)
  1164. [21:05] <Guesser> no! sha'n't!
  1165. [21:05] <The_Bert> partypooper! lol
  1166. [21:05] <Guesser> I insist you remove my schematics and crap games immediately! ;)
  1167. [21:05] <balford> Infoseek API isn't changing, so all good with emus etc.
  1168. [21:05] <dakidski> ok
  1169. [21:05] <Timmy> more people are complaining they cant enter chat on the forums
  1170. [21:05] <Guesser> actually, I don't, I demand you update the page with them on so people can find them instead :D
  1171. [21:05] <bloodbaz> So is Karingal heading up the shop? See, I have no idea!
  1172. [21:06] <Guesser> Karingal can't even get on the irc server heh
  1173. [21:06] <Alessandro> ACTION peers in the shadow looking for Karingal
  1174. [21:06] <Po> lol
  1175. [21:06] <Fil> Heh.
  1176. [21:06] <Guesser> he's over there ^^^^
  1177. [21:06] <The_Bert> he's the one with the banhammer, so that would be a logical assumption ;)
  1178. [21:06] <Guesser> in the other window :)
  1179. [21:06] <FogartyLee> It seems people may be able to join the chat via WoS... I haven't tried :)
  1180. [21:07] <bloodbaz> WoSF body count has increased from 50 active to 75 active so presumably the iRC is under resourced.
  1181. [21:07] <The_Bert> i did
  1182. [21:07] <The_Bert> but then, i was early *whistles*
  1183. [21:07] <pak21> One thing to remember here is that the forums are essentially entirely separate from the rest of WoS: being a forum mod gives you no power whatsoever over the rest of the server.
  1184. [21:07] <pak21> (Generalising from WoS here, so don't take this as referring to anyone on WoS)
  1185. [21:08] <pak21> Some people make really good server admins. Some people make really good forum mods. The two skill sets don't necessarily overlap.
  1186. [21:08] <bloodbaz> ACTION agrees with pak21
  1187. [21:08] <FogartyLee> :(
  1188. [21:08] <Guesser> and some people are polomint

  1277. [21:14] <mheide> Karingal!
  1278. [21:14] <pak21> Dunny: DNS propogation is fine - so long as you set the TTL to zero, let all the old records expire and *then* change things.
  1279. [21:14] <FogartyLee> I thought we were blocking Kar from getting in?
  1280. [21:14] <mheide> What took you so long?
  1281. [21:14] <Timmy> can i stop updating the Games List or do we have to keep it for this year?
  1282. [21:14] <Dunny> ...unless you're on BT
  1283. [21:14] <pak21> The trouble is people change DNS records and then just expect things to work, without understanding the caching.
  1284. [21:14] <FogartyLee> Timmy - it's handy to keep the list going just in case if you don't mind?
  1285. [21:14] <HackersAnon> Timmy - no idea... Anyone?
  1286. [21:15] <HackersAnon> Ah - there y'go

  1303. [21:16] <Dunny> just things like having more than one in-game screenshot, POKEs inline on the page... that sort of thing

  1309. [21:17] <Dunny> cya po... well, damn
  1310. [21:17] <bloodbaz> A download of a non-ZIPped TZX/TAP would be lovely!
  1311. [21:17] <wallyweek> sorry, it seems I can't remain up more than 10 minutes due to my faulty line... :(
  1312. [21:17] <pak21> Longer term, anything is possible.
  1313. [21:17] <Dunny> bloodbaz: indeed
  1314. [21:17] <FogartyLee> Dunny - there are plans to update WoS, but they are on hold. Once of the plans is to make it mobile responsive, and have additional info on the pages. This won't happen quickly though
  1315. [21:17] <Guesser> presumably long term bringing the faq wiki into wos will be feasable
  1316. [21:18] <HackersAnon> Tipshop lives on the same server as WoS, so perhaps?
  1317. [21:18] <bloodbaz> I agree that server(s) migration and upgrades should be on the most part does separately. Once things are migrated, that is the time to discuss wish lists etc.
  1318. [21:18] <FogartyLee> anything is possible.
  1319. [21:18] <Dunny> also, a link to an updated torrent of games (year by year? all of it?) would be ace
  1320. [21:18] *** zx81!~kvirc@81.202.206.18.dyn.user.ono.com has joined #general
  1321. [21:18] <balford> bit risky having it out on zxshed.co.uk :o
  1322. [21:18] <snekeel> Will player reviews remain on the game pages and be updated accordingly? My brother's been making reviews for Spectrum 2.0 and I wouldn't want his stuff go to waste.
  1323. [21:18] <HackersAnon> The problem with using Tipshop material is that not all of it is in the same HTML format, so that'd be a ton of work
  1324. [21:18] <wallyweek> my final word to Martijn are: thank you for all your hard work, and wish the best luck for everything! :)
  1325. [21:18] <zx81> good night for all

  1327. [21:18] <Dunny> iirc :)
  1328. [21:18] <Guesser> since the wiki was set up for all the people moaning about the faq being out of date :)
  1329. [21:18] <pak21> snekeel: Spectrum 2.0 is in a different kind of limbo, but that one's all my fault.

  1331. [21:19] *** AC594 has quit IRC (WoS forever!)
  1332. [21:19] <FogartyLee> the wiki will probably be moved to the WoS server - there won't be any difference apart from the password changing lol
  1333. [21:19] <pak21> The trouble with the FAQ is that we can't replace the current FAQ until all the info is in the wiki.
  1334. [21:19] <wallyweek> good bye everyone
  1335. [21:19] <Guesser> and all the links to it breaking heh

  1338. [21:19] <Guesser> it's a fairly thankless task indeed
  1339. [21:20] <Dunny> are we posting a transcript on WOS for those that couldn't get in?
  1340. [21:20] <HackersAnon> Dunny - yes
  1341. [21:20] <pak21> Yes, the IRC logs are always archived.

  1367. [21:22] <Dunny> ACTION needs a bath before the mrs gets home
  1368. [21:22] <snekeel> pak21 well i meant will the reviews be added to the game accordingly when update resumes rather than the Spectrum 2.0 site itself updating but thanks for that nonetheless
  1369. [21:22] <pak21> Not in the short term.
  1370. [21:23] <HackersAnon> ACTION didn't want to say anything to Dunny about that
  1371. [21:23] <pak21> Longer term, I need to work out what to do with Spectrum 2.0.
  1372. [21:23] <bloodbaz> hordes - no just the 37 user limit. Just more people leaving means more coming in
  1373. [21:23] <pak21> But that's a separate discussion from what happens to WoS - Spectrum 2.0 is run independently.
  1374. [21:23] <Dunny> I was up till 2:30am last night with father-in-law and his bloody heart trouble, then driving to lancaster and back with no.1 son at 9am
  1375. [21:23] <Dunny> bloody knackered and want a bath, but don't want to pass up some chat in here
  1376. [21:23] <karingal_laptop> everything can be updated, we just need to prioritise what needs doing 1st. The sooner Lee pulls his finger out the sooner I can start testing...

  1381. [21:24] <dakidski> whats spectrum 2.0?
  1382. [21:24] <Dunny> we really need more #spin representation in there.
  1383. [21:24] <Timmy> Anyway, in that case I will still finish the List this year then...
  1384. [21:24] <Fil> Yes, AC503 is finally here.
  1385. [21:24] <karingal_laptop> like Spectrum 1.0 but better

  1394. [21:25] <FogartyLee> like I said, it will be the end of the year before we can switch - Kar will have a lot of testing to do before then teehee
  1395. [21:25] <karingal_laptop> yay
  1396. [21:25] <FogartyLee> plus, it's not just WoS - there are other sites on the server that will need moving and testingh

  1519. [21:40] *** slenkar has quit IRC (I Quit)
  1520. [21:40] <Guesser> hence moving to Thailand
  1521. [21:40] <Zoff> oh ok, thought i read that somewhere
  1522. [21:40] <HackersAnon> Don't call me, Shirley
  1523. [21:40] <jc> ah i see, he's stepping down due to changing life commitments and WoS now needs alternate hosting and sysadmin?
  1524. [21:41] <Myke-P> Tea's ready so I'm off chaps. Great news about the future of WoS and good luck to the new admins (and to Martijn, natch.)
  1525. [21:41] <Zoff> ok bye myke
  1526. [21:41] <HackersAnon> Yes, he's stepping down and WoS will be on a new server in a different country
  1527. [21:41] <Zoff> love the CGC site BTW
  1528. [21:42] <aowen> so besides the new host, and new sysadmin, is it business as usual?
  1529. [21:42] <jc> ok, i might have suggested amazon web services but it sounds like everythings well in hand
  1530. [21:42] *** Myke-P has quit IRC (I Quit)
  1531. [21:42] <FogartyLee> yes it will be business as usual. With the new team, we can work through the backlog once we are satisified that the move was a success
  1532. [21:42] <Zoff> are there any implications for the archive WRT copyright laws etc being different?
  1533. [21:43] <aowen> no
  1534. [21:43] <aowen> copyright laws are the same across Europe
  1535. [21:43] <aowen> the main difference is the libel laws
  1536. [21:43] <Zoff> okeydoke
  1537. [21:43] <aowen> libel on a UK hosted site leaves WoS open to major sueballs
  1538. [21:44] <FogartyLee> hence why the forums will probably be hosted on an american server...
  1539. [21:44] <jc> well not really, youd just be told to remove it first
  1540. [21:44] <aowen> no, it doesn’t work that way

  1554. [21:48] <jc> notice it says "when youre informed about it". that basically means, if youre told "post xyz is defamatory against myself, remove it or else", you remove it. see also godfrey vs demon internet
  1555. [21:48] <aowen> you missed Martijn
  1556. [21:48] <aowen> he left already
  1557. [21:49] <Morcar> damn :(
  1558. [21:49] <Zoff> :'(
  1559. [21:49] <Morcar> thats it i am leaving lol
  1560. [21:49] <jc> but anyway... forums.. spawn an AWS EC2 instance in the US or something, host it there, problem solved ;)
  1561. [21:49] <vanpeebles> will the new setup be the same? will it cover other sinclair stuff?
  1562. [21:50] <aowen> it’s just a change of management and a server relocate to the UK
  1563. [21:50] <HackersAnon> I don't believe there are plans to change it to World of Sinclair
  1564. [21:50] <Morcar> Well, I hope it all goes well and the whole website and forum gets a new lease of life. Its a great place to be.
  1565. [21:50] <Guesser> world of commode
  1566. [21:50] <Morcar> lol
  1567. [21:50] <HackersAnon> (Which is what it'd pretty much need to be to cover anything else except the Speccy)
  1568. [21:50] <snekeel> or the Wonderful World of Sir Clive Sinclair?
  1569. [21:50] <aowen> assuming the forum does move to the UK I might once again ask for some of the really nasty libel to be removed
  1570. [21:51] <Morcar> World of Spectrum 4Ever :P
  1571. [21:51] <vanpeebles> i keep an eye out for any wannabe QL users :D
  1572. [21:51] <vanpeebles> i still have all my speccies though :)
  1573. [21:51] <vanpeebles> im going to get my toastrack fixed up for christmas
  1574. [21:52] <jc> world of sinclair would be a lot of calculators, dodgy amplifiers, and a lot of other stuff that only just worked ;)
  1575. [21:52] <vanpeebles> that sounds ace though :D
  1576. [21:52] <aowen> Don’t think there’s a legal precedent for the migration of libel from one jurisdiction to another though. If you posted libel on the grounds that it wasn’t actionable in the Netherlands, are you still on the hook for it if the site moves to the UK?
  1577. [21:52] <Guesser> like the original speccy you mean
  1578. [21:52] <Morcar> yeah but they looked awesome enough said :P
  1579. [21:52] <jc> sinclairs amplifier circuits were shockingly bad, lol
  1580. [21:52] <Guesser> aowen: I thought you were only logging on to say bye to martijn

  1586. [21:53] <Guesser> well I don't think any of us are lawyers
  1587. [21:54] <aowen> I think the new management should take legal advice
  1588. [21:54] <Guesser> or would give you legal advice for free anyway :)

  1614. [21:55] <SkoolKid> Glad to hear it :)
  1615. [21:55] <Guesser> you should pop on irc some time so I can pick your brains :)
  1616. [21:55] <aowen> The_Starglider: you never bring any models to IRC. Boo. hiss!
  1617. [21:56] <Guesser> and give you feature requests hehe
  1618. [21:56] <vanpeebles> random question does anyone have a recording of the audio that came with the biz?
  1619. [21:56] <Marko> and central station will pretty muxh clobber my connection in a moment
  1620. [21:56] <The_Starglider> Can you blame me? Me bring on here girls... with breasts and everything!
  1621. [21:56] <SkoolKid> If I remember, I'll pop in tomorrow
  1622. [21:56] <HackersAnon> Phworrr!

  1642. [21:58] <Guesser> hehe
  1643. [21:58] <^Me> There are always the regulars
  1644. [21:58] <aowen> pak21: did Mick send you the Derby development ROM he ripped?
  1645. [21:58] <Guesser> when am I ever not?
  1646. [21:58] <HackersAnon> MMmm KFC
  1647. [21:58] <Guesser> either ^Pete or I are always about to send people towards #zx heh
  1648. [21:58] <aowen> I perfer Nandos, because they’re licensed
  1649. [21:58] <^Me> You get a lovely deliverance type reception
  1650. [21:58] <pak21> aowen: not yet. He couldn't work out my e-mail address, so asked Gerard for it and I haven't responded yet to say it's OK.
  1651. [21:59] <pak21> (it should be noted my e-mail address is *on the bottom of the ROMs page*. It's not like it's hard to find)
  1652. [21:59] <Guesser> surely your website is trivial to find
  1653. [21:59] <Guesser> exactly
  1654. [21:59] <Guesser> er
  1655. [21:59] <HackersAnon> Heheheh
  1656. [21:59] <Guesser> email even
  1657. [21:59] <Guesser> gah
  1658. [21:59] <aowen> well this is the age of Facebook
  1659. [21:59] <aowen> who does email any more?
  1660. [21:59] <Guesser> tsk
  1661. [21:59] <Fil> I do.
  1662. [21:59] <^Me> Facebook is dead
  1663. [21:59] <The_Starglider> I still do email
  1664. [21:59] <^Me> For middleaged folk
  1665. [21:59] <Guesser> I can't stand people who won't just send an email
  1666. [21:59] <Fil> I do not do Facebook. Stopped using it in 2007.
  1667. [22:00] <aowen> actually I’m really annoyed that email sent to my FB address now gets forwarded to my email address
  1668. [22:00] <Guesser> I keep getting people complaining that I have private messages turned off on WoS
  1669. [22:00] <aowen> I liked having all my mail in one place
  1670. [22:00] <karingal_laptop> i still do slate...
  1671. [22:00] <Guesser> just fucking email me, how hard is it?
  1672. [22:00] <HackersAnon> The majority of my FB usage is author hunting
  1673. [22:00] <aowen> Guesser: I didn’t realize you could set email forwarding until you mentioned it. I have it enabled now so people can get in touch with me
  1674. [22:01] <^Me> Just be a git like me, then nobody wants to contact you. Problem solved
  1675. [22:01] <karingal_laptop> works for me
  1676. [22:01] <Guesser> ACTION has no desire to check 50 sites a day to see if he's been messaged when email comes in every 10 minutes to his PC and his phone
  1677. [22:01] <Guesser> lol
  1678. [22:01] <aowen> I’ve cut down how often I check messages to twice a day
  1679. [22:02] <Guesser> and I have backups so when the website goes belly up I still have the messages
  1680. [22:02] <aowen> for urgent stuff my phone still works as a phone
  1681. [22:02] <HackersAnon> I really need to get my finger out and set up everything as something non-ISP-central like GMail, or similar.. It's hard to threaten to leave Virgin when everything is registered to my ntlworld account :)
  1682. [22:03] <Guesser> lol
  1683. [22:03] <Guesser> indeed
  1684. [22:03] <Guesser> using ISP email is the worst mistake everybody makes :)
  1685. [22:03] <aowen> I abandoned Google years ago, but I’ve gone back now with my uni account because Chrome synching is just too useful
  1686. [22:04] <Guesser> my dad used to dial up once a month to orange to check his freeserve mail
  1687. [22:04] <aowen> Guesser: yeah. Had to open a new account with an old ISP to regain control of my domain. That was a drag.
  1688. [22:04] <Guesser> before it finally got to being all spam and no ham
  1689. [22:04] <aowen> but I’ve been usign mail.ru for 15 years now and see no reason to change
  1690. [22:04] <aowen> and my Russian is slowly improving
  1691. [22:04] <HackersAnon> Da?
  1692. [22:04] <aowen> Da.
  1693. [22:04] <Guesser> nyet
  1694. [22:04] <vanpeebles> any ql peeps on?
  1695. [22:05] <aowen> spike1’s still on ColdFront

  1732. [22:09] <aowen> yeah but Craig Charles is on
  1733. [22:09] <HackersAnon> So watch Red Dwarf
  1734. [22:09] <HackersAnon> :)
  1735. [22:10] <aowen> weren’t they supposed to be making another full series for Dave after the last one?
  1736. [22:10] <HackersAnon> Apparently, yes
  1737. [22:10] <HackersAnon> Now THAT I'll watch
  1738. [22:10] <HackersAnon> I didn't even know CC was on I'm A Celeb
  1739. [22:10] <The_Starglider> Red Dwarf 10 was brilliant. Very funny
  1740. [22:10] <aowen> I saw a thing about it in the Metro
  1741. [22:10] <HackersAnon> At least he's someone I've heard of on it
  1742. [22:10] <Guesser> you clearly don't use twitter :)
  1743. [22:10] <aowen> then quickly remembered why I stopped reading the Metro
  1744. [22:11] <Guesser> cause robert llwelyn has been mentioning it all week
  1745. [22:11] <aowen> besides finding out who’s stalking who, is there any real purpose to twitter?
  1746. [22:11] <Guesser> and I'm fairly sure following him is mandatory
  1747. [22:11] <HackersAnon> None. Noe at all
  1748. [22:11] <aowen> that’s what I thought
  1749. [22:11] <Guesser> along with graham linehan
  1750. [22:12] <karingal_laptop> I like Twitter, much better than Faecesbook
  1751. [22:12] <Fil> There are shooting it next year, aowen.
  1752. [22:12] <HackersAnon> Except for the odious Kardashian clan to pollute the human gene pool further
  1753. [22:12] <aowen> good to know
  1754. [22:12] <aowen> well I have wine to drink

  1761. [22:13] <Guesser> ADJB: what phone
  1762. [22:13] <ADJB> Nexus 5
  1763. [22:13] <Guesser> my Nexus 5 updated on release day
  1764. [22:13] <aowen> ttyl
  1765. [22:13] <Guesser> ah you'll be fine then
  1766. [22:13] <Guesser> works well
  1767. [22:13] <HackersAnon> Mind you, I've only just migrated to an S2 so I'm a tad behind :)
  1768. [22:13] <Guesser> if you have a lot of apps, plug it in

  1770. [22:14] <Guesser> cause when it reboots it will compile them all for dalvik
  1771. [22:14] <HackersAnon> I just want a phone with a lock screen that'll show me proper notifications and let me pause/play with a numerical lock on it
  1772. [22:14] <vanpeebles> does anyone use that tape player on the ipad/iphone?
  1773. [22:14] <ADJB> I always plug it in at home and leave it on the wifi
  1774. [22:14] <Guesser> which takes a while if you have a lot
  1775. [22:14] <Guesser> hmm, I don't leave mine plugged in all the time
  1776. [22:15] <Guesser> learnt my lesson about lithium batteries with laptops and you can replace them without doing surgery...
  1777. [22:16] <HackersAnon> Anyone any experience of putting a custom ROM on an S2?
  1778. [22:16] <ADJB> I have on the S3
  1779. [22:16] <ADJB> Just done a few hundred of them
  1780. [22:17] <Guesser> no but the PLUS three on the other hand...
  1781. [22:17] <HackersAnon> Which ROM did you go for? My needs are simple - see above (PIN lockscreen that allows notifications on lockscreen as well as music player)
  1782. [22:17] <Guesser> (If I had any flash boards left to sell that'd have been a really smooth move!)
  1783. [22:17] <Guesser> :)
  1784. [22:18] <ADJB> It was a custom one for a large online retailer named after a large south american river
  1785. [22:18] <vanpeebles> what would be the best add on for a toast rack?
  1786. [22:18] <Guesser> lol
  1787. [22:19] <vanpeebles> i have a divide plus but ive just tried it with a plus 3
  1788. [22:19] <Guesser> presumably you're prohibited from naming them
  1789. [22:19] <Guesser> :)
  1790. [22:19] <Guesser> SPECTRANET!
  1791. [22:19] <ADJB> I treat my clients privacy seriously :)

  1874. [22:30] <Guesser> lol
  1875. [22:30] <{Graz}> 75p and Rolos to a PO-BOX in Milton Keynes.
  1876. [22:30] <HackersAnon> I'll take money from anyone. So long as they don't expect anything in return
  1877. [22:30] <vanpeebles> will it be a commitee style thing?
  1878. [22:30] <Guesser> hmm, no paper trail, smart
  1879. [22:30] <Guesser> can we have the WoS AGM in lincolnshire ? :)
  1880. [22:30] <^Me> Like jedis ?
  1881. [22:30] <HackersAnon> Unless it's an attractive girl wanting me to give her damn good seein([THWACK]. Mrs Sweeney)
  1882. [22:30] <FogartyLee> any future changes will be commitee style - but they are a long way off due to other committments
  1883. [22:31] <Guesser> quick dunny, second it!
  1884. [22:31] <Guesser> :)
  1885. [22:31] <{Graz}> When will we get to 'see' changes?
  1886. [22:31] <AC158> That's fair enough.. thank you
  1887. [22:31] *** wallyweek has left #general (wallyweek)
  1888. [22:31] <FogartyLee> initially you won't - the site is being cloned onto one of my servers. All you will see is some minor downtime as we switch over - that will be around the end of the year
  1889. [22:31] <Fil> pete@#zx.net 4 PayPal WONGA
  1890. [22:32] <{Graz}> Okay, that's fair enough. Very different to the Facebook rumours then. ;)
  1891. [22:32] <FogartyLee> very different yes :)
  1892. [22:32] <^Me> Cheers Fil :)
  1893. [22:32] <Guesser> is martijn transferring/transferred the domain to you foggy?
  1894. [22:32] <AC158> I guess teh archive is the most important thing, but will you be attending to the actual website itself? Navigation links would be nice :)
  1895. [22:33] <vanpeebles> commitees have lots of downfalls but they ensure things survive i think
  1896. [22:33] <FogartyLee> he will be transferring the domain once we are ready to switch. There are a few though as the subsites need moving too
  1897. [22:33] <HackersAnon> In so much as the Facebook rumours were either that WoS was closing. WoS was going to be pay to get access. WoS was going to have ads and donation buttons. And so on :)
  1898. [22:33] <Guesser> indeed
  1899. [22:33] <{Graz}> Has Martijn gone beddy-byes now?
  1900. [22:33] <Dunny> back
  1901. [22:34] <FogartyLee> there were plans to have a new WoS (and it's half written), but these are on hold until I can commit to decent time spent developing
  1902. [22:34] <^Me> Dunnnnnny!
  1903. [22:34] <Dunny> hey, pete :-d
  1904. [22:34] <Dunny> bah
  1905. [22:34] <Fil> I heard that Google bid $50,000,000 for WoS, but Martijn said that they would have to remove "C64" from their search engine. They declined.
  1906. [22:34] <Dunny> buggered shift key
  1907. [22:34] <karingal_laptop> Good, so we can kill all these rumours stone dead then
  1908. [22:34] <FogartyLee> that's true Fil.
  1909. [22:34] <HackersAnon> AC158 - I daresay if people were to contact us with feasible suggestions (preferably with offers of helping make them happen), then anything is possible. Hweover, like Lee said at the moment the priority is to have WoS working in its new environment
  1910. [22:34] <Dunny> :-D
  1911. [22:35] <Dunny> ACTION is back from the bath, and is catching up with the logs
  1912. [22:35] <AC158> HackersAnon, I may just look to do that :) what's the best way.. just posting on the forums?
  1913. [22:35] <karingal_laptop> Gerard, it's all about getting the priorities right
  1914. [22:35] <Fil> AH, your chart will come in use, Dunny. ;)
  1915. [22:35] <Guesser> ACTION has many suggestions
  1916. [22:35] <Guesser> and isn't averse to helping :)
  1917. [22:35] <{Graz}> Well that's still a good idea to have a new Wos in production now, even if it is just to future-proof it and ensure we're not caught short if we suddenly need to move over the reigns at any time.
  1918. [22:36] *** FeKuLa!~FeKuLa@85.251.87.219.dyn.user.ono.com has joined #general
  1919. [22:36] <HackersAnon> There's also the not minor detail of umpteen months worth of updates to process through :)
  1920. [22:36] <Fil> For those Sugar lovers among you: http://viz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/005_viz156_sugar.jpg
  1921. [22:37] <FogartyLee> The new site would have made updates a lot easier, had user logins to the site, etc. (even a language switcher to Spanish), but it proved to be slightly more work than I anticipated, so the priority is getting onto the new server and making sure thats stable
  1922. [22:37] <AC158> Will the new site be a bespoke thing, or are you going to use an existing CMS system?
  1923. [22:37] <AC158> *Existing CMS -system :p
  1924. [22:37] <Guesser> will the shed get restored or are you just too busy
  1925. [22:38] <FogartyLee> bespoke. It's my company policy not to use open source CMS solutions
  1926. [22:38] <FogartyLee> there are no plans for the shed at the moment.
  1927. [22:38] <Guesser> should at least take that image down :)
  1928. [22:38] <FogartyLee> the WIKI will be moved to the WoS server and shed closed for the time being
  1929. [22:38] <HackersAnon> The one with me in the shed with the lederhosen on? Yeah, probably should
  1930. [22:38] <karingal_laptop> dead shed
  1931. [22:38] <Guesser> lol
  1932. [22:38] <Guesser> so it was YOU who hacked it!
  1933. [22:38] <Guesser> get him!
  1934. [22:39] <AC158> Why not open source? Just curious.
  1935. [22:39] <karingal_laptop> thats going on the front page
  1936. [22:39] <FogartyLee> it wasn't hacked
  1937. [22:39] <Guesser> oh
  1938. [22:39] <Guesser> a cunning excuse? :)
  1939. [22:39] <FogartyLee> open source is a prime target for hacking
  1940. [22:39] <Dunny> lol@fil
  1941. [22:39] <vanpeebles> will it be done with a spectranet?
  1942. [22:39] <Stefan> :-)
  1943. [22:40] <AC158> I see and would require more maintenance i.e. updates to keep it secure
  1944. [22:40] <FogartyLee> yep
  1945. [22:40] <vanpeebles> and a custom version of make-a-chip
  1946. [22:40] <vanpeebles> with the chip bit crossed out and web wrote in
  1947. [22:40] <Guesser> people complain about "security through obscurity"
  1948. [22:40] <AC158> Although a bespoke site would be reliant on yourself if that happened?
  1949. [22:40] <Dunny> wow, all of a sudden there's tonnes of folks and I can't think of anything to say...
  1950. [22:40] <Guesser> but if you look in your sever logs you never see people trying to hack obscure software :)
  1951. [22:41] <FogartyLee> Any developer would be able to maintain the site if Kar killed me off...
  1952. [22:41] <AC158> hehe
  1953. [22:41] <Guesser> always the same handful off urls
  1954. [22:41] <{Graz}> Just say what you've always wished, Dunny.
  1955. [22:41] <Guesser> he wants to be a real boy?
  1956. [22:42] <AC158> One more.. you sticking with vbulletin for the forums?
  1957. [22:42] <Stefan> bespoke or close source cms?
  1958. [22:42] <FogartyLee> The problem with the new site is that I suddenly landed a large council project that's being written now, and rolled out to all councils over the next 12 months, so that has taken my time up
  1959. [22:42] <FogartyLee> the forums are being cloned and will be switched over
  1960. [22:42] <Guesser> vbulletin's pretty good
  1961. [22:42] <Stefan> vbulletin is shite
  1962. [22:42] <Stefan> since the 4 upgrades
  1963. [22:42] <Guesser> better than some of the other options
  1964. [22:43] <Stefan> nearly killed off another site i visited
  1965. [22:43] <Guesser> aye, but wos uses an ancient version for that reason lol
  1966. [22:43] <Dunny> hmm
  1967. [22:43] <Dunny> I've always wished for...
  1968. [22:43] <{Graz}> Will this affect old posts ie: 1990s-early 2000 posts that are just archived as numbers?
  1969. [22:43] <Dunny> I dunno, really
  1970. [22:43] <Stefan> xenoforo (or so) which was set up by the old vbulletin devs, is good
  1971. [22:43] <FogartyLee> the database will be cloned too
  1972. [22:43] <Stefan> what - wos had a database?
  1973. [22:43] <Stefan> last time it looked like a flat file thing
  1974. [22:44] <{Graz}> Go on Dunny. I'm here. You can tell me. Whisper it in my lug-ole.
  1975. [22:44] <Guesser> heh, it's like people can't cope with the concept of cloning a server foggy :)
  1976. [22:44] <FogartyLee> no - the forums are hand typed by pixies every time you request a page :)
  1977. [22:44] <karingal_laptop> thats cos ewgf sat on it...
  1978. [22:44] <Guesser> then again these are wossers...
  1979. [22:44] <Stefan> :-)
  1980. [22:44] <Guesser> don't start an argument about clones ;)
  1981. [22:44] <AC158> Actually another one... can you link to a proper 'announcement' on the front page of WOS? :D
  1982. [22:44] <Stefan> that would destroy the spirit
  1983. [22:44] <AC158> Like a press release sort of thing, would shut up the facebook doom mongers, etc
  1984. [22:44] <FogartyLee> I can't do anything at the moment - I have access to the live server but I'm not touching anything just in case!
  1985. [22:44] <Stefan> wos with an update would be so non-wos
  1986. [22:44] <Fil> WoS looks best if you view it through Mosaic.
  1987. [22:45] <AC158> Understood
  1988. [22:45] <AC158> Shame though
  1989. [22:46] <{Graz}> Ewgf should be banned for cruelty to pixies in that case.
  1990. [22:46] <Guesser> rofl
  1991. [22:46] <FogartyLee> The only difference anyone should see is more stability and speed increase (that's a sentence of doom!!)
  1992. [22:48] <AC158> You should get the mods to pin a forum post or something instead then.

  2133. [23:48] <FogartyLee> yeah I lost an evening on my super seekrit spectrum project too :(
  2134. [23:49] <karingal_laptop> I lost a whole evening on my super seekrit DS project...
  2135. [23:52] <Guesser> was yours "rebuilding WoS"?

  2142. [00:05] <pak21> Night all - I'm off to bed as well.
  2143. [00:05] <FogartyLee> does anyone know how to put a donate button on a website & block access to the site if there's no donation?
  2144. [00:05] <FogartyLee> :P
  2145. [00:05] <FogartyLee> night Phil
  2146. [00:05] <Guesser> lol
  2147. [00:05] <|chris|> lo and goodnight phil
  2148. [00:05] <Guesser> you should have a free preview page
  2149. [00:06] <Guesser> maybe three downloads
  2150. [00:06] <Guesser> but the games end before they get to the good bit
  2151. [00:06] <FogartyLee> I would prefer to block peoples access to the internet until they donate
  2152. [00:07] <FogartyLee> ooh - a donate screen on each download!
  2153. [00:08] <FogartyLee> or we could simple carry adverts for dodgy dating sites and viagra...
  2154. [00:10] <Guesser> who's dodgy dating site?
  2155. [00:10] <Guesser> was it cornishday trying to start one of those?
  2156. [00:10] <Guesser> gah

  2172. [00:23] <DaRkHoRaCe> ahahahahah can't belive it
  2173. [00:24] <FogartyLee> I might have made that bit up :)
  2174. [00:24] <FogartyLee> Martijn has stood down as he is leaving the country to live with his new wife, so a new team is taking over
  2175. [00:24] <DaRkHoRaCe> I think we need a new way to chat.....
  2176. [00:24] <DaRkHoRaCe> I'm disconnecting every 2 seconds
  2177. [00:25] <FogartyLee> you're not showing as disconnecting
  2178. [00:25] <|chris|> Disconnecting every 2 seconds is a shit way to chat.
  2179. [00:25] <|chris|> Don't do that.
  2180. [00:26] <Guesser> disconnecting every two seconds?
  2181. [00:26] <FogartyLee> is there a 'don't disconnect every two seconds' command?
  2182. [00:26] <Guesser> not here you aren't
  2183. [00:26] <DaRkHoRaCe> I hope that you are not taking over the new wos kiddos :D
  2184. [00:26] <FogartyLee> funny you should ask that...
  2185. [00:26] <Guesser> lol
  2186. [00:27] <jc> tbh why not just create #worldofspectrum on freenode or so
  2187. [00:27] <|chris|> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7RIgs3eygo
  2188. [00:27] <Guesser> of just use #zx on coldfront!
  2189. [00:27] <Guesser> or #spin
  2190. [00:28] <|chris|> #spin is only for the cabal
  2191. [00:28] <Guesser> it's not like there's a shortage of channels to discuss speccy stuff in :p
  2192. [00:28] <Guesser> lol
  2193. [00:28] <DaRkHoRaCe> no.. really. The forum will be down?
  2194. [00:28] <FogartyLee> nothing will change for a long time. We are building a clone initially
  2195. [00:28] <Guesser> but really, coldfron.net is the place to be if you want to chat about speccies on IRC
  2196. [00:29] <Guesser> the lurkers are all there waiting for you!
  2197. [00:29] <DaRkHoRaCe> Fogarty: you helped me some months ago with webdesign stuff?
  2198. [00:29] <DaRkHoRaCe> Aren't yew?
  2199. [00:29] <FogartyLee> did I?
  2200. [00:29] <FogartyLee> did I get paid?

  2210. [00:33] <Guesser> macroserver?
  2211. [00:33] <Guesser> do you mean microserver cause that'd be the opposite :)
  2212. [00:34] <DaRkHoRaCe> no no, I invented the term
  2213. [00:34] <DaRkHoRaCe> just right now....
  2214. [00:34] <Guesser> I guessed you must have done :)
  2215. [00:34] <Guesser> so what's the definition? ;)
  2216. [00:35] <|chris|> serves only excel macros
  2217. [00:35] <Guesser> lol
  2218. [00:36] <|chris|> probably a niche market for spectranet, tbf
  2219. [00:36] <DaRkHoRaCe> Imagine a place where we can connect with Spectranets, chat, download stuff from ftp server , read all WoS
  2220. [00:36] <DaRkHoRaCe> and multiplayer rooms
  2221. [00:36] <DaRkHoRaCe> huuhhuhu
