[15:14]<@Mulreay> Anyone in from PITB?
[15:16]<+Tux2> I'm here
[15:16]<@Mulreay> Hey bud
[15:16]<+Tux2> Howdy Mulreay
[15:17]<@Mulreay> Trying to work on tournament structure.. any tips/tricks?
[15:18]<+Tux2> Well, I really only have a series of questions
[15:18]<@Mulreay> k
[15:21]<+Tux2> Youngest age for competitors
[15:21]<+Tux2> When it's going to be
[15:21]<+Tux2> time and date
[15:21]<+Tux2> If it's during the school year then school hours need to be accounted for, etc.
[15:22]<@Mulreay> Age would be 18 as there is money involved
[15:22] * Nat (natman97@mib-D760DC52.west.biz.rr.com) Quit (Quit: zzzZZZzzzZZzzZZZzz)
[15:22]<+Tux2> Gotcha
[15:22]<+Tux2> Who is your target audience
[15:23]<@Mulreay> CoD, Halo, starcraft and the such who game online
[15:25]<+Tux2> Gotcha, so you wouldn't need to really worry about school hours
[15:25]<@Mulreay> no
[15:25]<@Mulreay> Definately adult gamers
[15:26]<+Tux2> Also, structure depends on the games being played
[15:26]<+Tux2> Have you decided on the exact games yet?
[15:27]<@Mulreay> The main tournament games will be CoD and Halo
[15:27]<@Mulreay> There will be more games but not main events
[15:28]<+Tux2> What gaming modes and prizes will there be?
[15:29]<+Tux2> How long will each match last?
[15:29]<+Tux2> What about break times, when will those be and for how long?
[15:30]<@Mulreay> Team games and individual competitions. Main events (team and individual) will have prizes up to £25,000 for first and progressive down for 2nd 3rd etc. Each game should last no more than 10-15mins
[15:30]<+Tux2> Gotcha
[15:31]<@Mulreay> We would run competitions inbetween each 'game' 'style' so people will break inbetween
[15:31]<+Tux2> One tip I have is to make sure to put the main games near the end of the hour and fill the rest with the side games to keep people watching
[15:31]<@Mulreay> Yeah good point
[15:32]<+Tux2> Also sprinkling in interviews with people at "random" times would also be a good idea
[15:33]<@Mulreay> yeah good point
[15:42]<+camerongray> I'm here now
[15:42]<+camerongray> Trying to figure out a project to develop
[15:44]<@Mulreay> How do you mean?
[15:45]<+camerongray> Like some software to write :P
[15:45]<@Mulreay> For Uni?
[15:45]<+camerongray> I have an idea but not sure if there's any market for it
[15:45]<+camerongray> Nah
[15:45]<+camerongray> Something for myself
[15:45]<@Mulreay> cool
[15:46]<+camerongray> I can think of one that sounds pretty fun but no idea if there is a market for it
[15:46]<+camerongray> And that's kinda hard to tell :P
[15:46]<@Mulreay> What is the idea/
[15:46]<@Mulreay> ?*
[15:46]<+camerongray> Hosted Quassel cores
[15:47]<@Mulreay> For irc?
[15:47]<+camerongray> I use one and it is really useful since I can log onto IRC from almost anywhere and see what has been said before
[15:47]<+camerongray> Yeah
[15:47]<+camerongray> The core is multiuser capable but doesn't have any real interface for managing them
[15:47]<@Mulreay> Sounds like a plan
[15:48]<+camerongray> Yeah, not sure if there is a market though
[15:48]<+camerongray> Tux2: Would that be something you would use or see a market for?
[15:49]<+Tux2> camerongray: probably for IRC geeks
[15:49]<+camerongray> Yeah, would have to be
[15:50]<+camerongray> I can see it being useful but my worry is that IRC geeks would just set one up themselves :P
[15:50]<+Tux2> It's a small, specialized market
[15:50]<+camerongray> Yeah, I don't mind small
[15:51]<+camerongray> It's whether anyone would want to pay for it :P
[15:51]<+Tux2> If it's cheap, probably
[15:51]<+camerongray> I'm thinking 50p a month for a basic plan?
[15:52]<+Tux2> That sounds good
[15:52]<+camerongray> Hmm, I might do that then
[15:53]<+camerongray> i like the idea of open data since I had fun last time but don't know where to start :P
[15:53]<+camerongray> They finally got photos of the hackathon up :D - Even if he did call our team "Spacehopper" when it was actually "Skyhopper"
[15:54]<+Tux2> lol
[15:54]<+camerongray> http://www.flickr.com/photos/93409516@N05/8503783583/in/set-72157632821539634
[15:54]<+camerongray> I either seem to not be in the photos or look like an idiot :P
[15:55]<+camerongray> It's also fun to play the "Spot the ThinkPad" game :P
[16:01]<+Tux2> Heh. I got a new advertising spot for my minecraft hosting: http://canarymod.net
[16:01]<+camerongray> Nice"
[16:01]<+Tux2> I made a custom ad for it as well: http://tux2mc.com/animatedad.gif
[16:01]<@Mulreay> cool
[16:02]<+Tux2> I have a different landing page for it: http://tux2mc.com/canarymod/

[18:59]<+Craig> How goes it Mulreay, camerongray, and Tux2
[18:59]<+camerongray> hey Craig
[18:59]<+Tux2> Howdy Craig
[18:59]<+Craig> How goes it?
[18:59]<+Tux2> Going good
[18:59]<+camerongray> Good thanks, you?
[18:59]<+Craig> Doing awesome, its a $500 day :P
[19:00]<+camerongray> Still swithering whether this quassel core thing is worth it or not :P
[19:00]<+Craig> :P
[19:00]<+Craig> Swithering?
[19:00]<+camerongray> Damn me not noticing scots words :P
[19:01]<+Craig> And what is a Quassel Core?
[19:01]<+camerongray> basically like "can't decide"
[19:01]<+camerongray> Quassel IRC client, the core (Bit that connects to IRC) and client are separate so I have the core on a remote server and connect to that with the client
[19:01]<+camerongray> Means I am always online and can see what has been said while I'm offline
[19:02]<+Craig> Ahh
[19:02]<+camerongray> Like a bouncer but a lot easier to use and more powerful
[19:02]<+Craig> Ah
[19:03]<+camerongray> I keep doing that with scots words :P - I only really realise now with the number of foreign people at uni
[19:05]<+camerongray> you just experienced the magic of quassel, switched from ,y desktop to my tablet but you can't tell :-)
[19:05]<+Craig> .... me
[19:05]<+Craig> meh... :P
[19:06]<+camerongray> lol
[19:06]<+camerongray> I'm thinking about expanding the software so I could host cores as a service
[19:07]<+camerongray> at the moment I'm using a low end vps just hosting my own
[19:08]<+camerongray> what do you think? looking at charging around 50p/month for a basic plan
[19:09]<+camerongray> would limit by number of lines of scroll
[19:09]<+camerongray> damn
[19:10]<+camerongray> would limit by number of lines of scroll back and possibly Max number of channels or networks you can connect to
[19:12]<+camerongray> Craig?
[19:12]<+Craig> Yo?
[19:12]<+camerongray> what do you think of that idea?
[19:14]<+Craig> Not sure why thats important?
[19:14]<+camerongray> the other idea would be to make a mibbit like client for quassel
[19:14]<+camerongray> its very useful for people who use IRC a lot
[19:16]<+Craig> Well, :P I am probably not the guy to ask then :p
[19:16]<+Craig> You should ask ChrisLAS on JupiterBroadcasting in the GeekShed Network
[19:17]<+camerongray> lol
[19:18]<+camerongray> And now I'm sending this from my laptop but it's still open on my Tablet
[19:18]<+Tux2> lol
[19:18]<+Craig> ... lame...
[19:20]<+camerongray> Not really lame :P
[19:21]<+camerongray> Very useful infact - I'm not driving everyone insane when I start up and shut down different devices
[19:21]<+Craig> :P
[19:27]<+camerongray> I'll look into the web client, that sounds easier and more useful
[19:27]<+camerongray> I could go to any machine with a browser and log in to IRC like you would with Mibbit
[19:28]<+camerongray> But I would get backlog, already have all my channels connected and be authenticated with them all

[21:34]<@BC_Programming> Shaw cut us off for the last week or so
[21:34]<+Tux2> Yikes!
[21:35]<@BC_Programming> apparently we owed 10 dollars... on NEXT month's bill...
[21:35]<+Tux2> ...
[21:35]<@BC_Programming> Finally got through to somebody that was like "hmm, that does seem curious"
[21:35]<@BC_Programming> had to go through first level tech support with the internet though... WOW... "ok, now plug the power back into the modem, and then unplug it's power from the wall" -_-
[21:36]<+Tux2> lol...
[21:36]<@BC_Programming> and then trying to get me to unplug the wifi router as I'm staring at the obviously still not connected Cable Modem... clearly some sort of script they have to follow before they actually look into the problem being on their end
[21:37]<+Tux2> lol, yeah
[21:38]<@BC_Programming> I think the result is they are giving us a month free for not having any service for a week or something
[21:38]<+Tux2> That's awesome
[21:39]<+Tux2> How would you like to make around $100 USD BC_Programming?
[21:39]<@BC_Programming> sounds like fun :)
[21:39]<@BC_Programming> what is it, it better not make me sticky
[21:40]<+Tux2> lol, it's a programming job
[21:40]<+Tux2> You can embed IE into a program, right?
[21:40]<@BC_Programming> yes
[21:41]<+Tux2> Can you automate clicking on links, etc. to make a script that could run in the background transparent to the user?
[21:41]<@BC_Programming> I'm not sure... probably
[21:41]<@BC_Programming> but would that really need IE? couldn't you also send requests directly
[21:42]<@BC_Programming> (or rather would that really need an embedded browser)
[21:42]<+Tux2> Sharepoint shares, mounting them works
[21:42]<+Tux2> but only for about an hour and a half
[21:42]<+Tux2> then you have to go to the website and re-authenticate
[21:44]<+Tux2> The website also only works in IE
[21:44]<@BC_Programming> ahh I see
[21:45]<+Tux2> Yup
[21:45]<+Tux2> If it was just a tray app that I could put into the startup folder in windows that would work
[21:48]<+Tux2> If you need a sharepoint username/password just let me know and I can get that for you if you are interested in the project
[21:49]<@BC_Programming> cool, never used sharepoint, so not sure what it would require
[21:49]<+Tux2> Me neither
[21:50]<@BC_Programming> does it just require clicking a link? Presumably if there is a uname and password it could be populates by cookies and the program can "click" the link to reauth I suppose
[21:50]<@BC_Programming> populated*
[21:50]<+Tux2> The users already have the username/password stored in IR
[21:50]<+Tux2> IE*
[21:51]<@BC_Programming> ahh ok
[21:51]<+Tux2> If you want I can start a 3 way call with my friend who requested this if you need more details
[21:51]<+Tux2> On skype of course
[21:53]<@BC_Programming> I can't really do anything atm... lots of distractions here

[21:53]<@BC_Programming> not to mention trying to save files from my secondary drive :/
[21:53]<+Tux2> Ah, no problem
[21:54]<+Tux2> So, I'm assuming you're at least interested?
[21:54]<@BC_Programming> yep
[21:55]<@BC_Programming> I do have a new project started and am seeing what I can automate
[21:55]<+Tux2> Awesome
[21:55]<@BC_Programming> maybe have a URL in an INI file or something and link text to look for in there as well, that sort of thing is what I'm thinking
[21:55]<+Tux2> Yeah
[21:56]<+Tux2> When would be a good time to have a 3 way call with him so you can work out the details, get a username/password, etc.?
[21:58]<@BC_Programming> either tommorrow or Monday or Tuesday probably
[21:59]<+Tux2> Okay, no problem
[21:59]<+Tux2> Just let me know. I'll be here in IRC as much as possible
[21:59]<@BC_Programming> kk
[22:09]<+Tux2> On another note, I've been getting a few customers already for my minecraft hosting. :D
[22:09]<@BC_Programming> ahh very nice
[22:12]<@BC_Programming> my secondary is starting to die... I almost wasn't able to get my MLP wallpaper PSD files off... took three reboots and three tries to successfully copy them over without an I/O error... seems it's on it's last legs, shame
[22:13]<@BC_Programming> OTOH it's been on it's last legs for quite a long time. What is really odd is that I cannot even run chkdsk on it, it hangs halfway through!

[22:20]<+Tux2> lol
[22:22]<@BC_Programming> well it kinda sucks TBH... don't know what files are save and which ones aren't... I disabled write-caching though because otherwise the MFT keeps getting corrupted which probably isn't very helpful
[22:25]<+Tux2> yeah
[22:25]<@BC_Programming> should probably download the manufacturer software, maybe that will have better luck getting it stable again at least for a while
[22:26]<+Tux2> It might
[22:28]<@BC_Programming> well I updated the vanilla whitelist to 13w11a now, fell behind a bit there
[23:20]<+Tux2> lol
