00:36.43Poeloqanybody know a freenode server that allows connections to port 6670, my linux box can only connect to 6670 (dont ask why)
00:59.46wethrinSome might run on port 7000
01:00.03wethrinBut #freenode would likely be a more appropriate place to ask

10:30.18Poeloqhow often does the GLLUG meet? I just moved to London in September and did not have the chance to look into LUGs yet
10:31.46wethrinWhenever we have speakers
10:32.22wethrinApproximately every 6 weeks
10:32.43wethrinBut sometimes there's 2 months without meetings, and sometimes there are 2-3 in a month

11:17.59wethrinmorsing?
11:18.59morsingwethrin: What's the thing called when a there a tune playing before the bell "announces" the time?
11:20.31morsingwethrin_
11:20.33morsing?
11:21.17Leedsthe bells! THE BELLS!
11:21.47morsingLeeds: Huh?
11:23.11wethrinWestminster Chimes (traditionally)
11:23.56trousersMorning
11:24.23wethrinOr, apparently, Westminster Quarters
11:24.46Leedstrousers: no it isn't
11:26.48morsingwethrin: What?!  I don't mean on Westminster
11:27.07wethrinIt's standard on a lot of clock towers
11:30.53trousersmorsing: The Westminster chimes sound like this: http://www.theclockdepot.com/clock_chimes/westminster_acoustic.mp3
11:33.55morsingtrousers: Don't care. Does it have a name when a clock plays that?
11:38.04morsingSo, no I take it...
11:38.32wethrinYes
11:38.39wethrinIt's called the Westminster Chimes / Quarters
11:38.43wethrinThat's the name of the piece
11:39.53morsingwethrin: I think you're getting confused
11:40.06morsingNothing to do with anything Westminster...
11:40.41wethrinOr are you just talking about the general tune-played-before-strikes, rather than the specific tune that most clocks play?
11:40.57morsingIndeed!
11:41.05wethrinAhhh
11:41.18morsing"Most clocks"?! Where did you get that from?
11:41.29wethrinMost mechanical bell-tower clocks
11:41.31morsingNever heard it on other clocks than WEstminster
11:41.43morsingEvery clock normally has it's own tune
11:41.49wethrinDurham Cathedral uses it. Churches in Oxford and Cambridge use it
11:41.59wethrinNot here :)
11:42.02morsingYou people are too konservative
11:42.03morsingc
11:42.33wethrinIt was originally written for the University Church in Cambridge
11:42.59wethrin"It is now possibly the most commonly used chime for striking clocks"
11:43.12wethrinSo, I suppose, a chime would be the answer to your question
11:44.10morsingwethrin: Of course it's the most common one. In other countries you have a different tune for every clock. You don't rip off other people's work!
11:44.20morsingChime. Thanks
11:46.54wethrinIt makes it easier for the repairmen
11:47.10morsingRight. Is it open source?
11:49.54wethrinIt's mechanical
11:54.36murbyou can make things with software.
11:54.42murbif you have the appriate hardware.
12:08.34morsingNice
12:13.42morsinghttp://www.bhi.co.uk/hints/chimes.htm
12:13.56wethrinYeah
12:13.58wethrinSeen that :)
12:26.38morsingCan anyone convert midi to something else?
12:26.49Leedsmorsing: check out timidity
13:42.12morsingNice

14:15.37morsingGEORGE, COME BACK!
14:17.48trousersCalm morsing, he's gone to a better place :)
14:18.45morsing:)
14:21.02morsingSo no-one knows how to use timidity?
14:26.34antiphaseJust feed it a MIDI file
14:26.56antiphaseIt looks more like your ALSA config is fucked
14:27.14antiphaseOr taht you're still in the Dark Ages and using OSS
14:27.19antiphasewhich is bad, m'kay
14:35.32morsingWell done! Installing timidity has completely broken sound on my dad's computer now...
14:35.49morsingNone of the sound/media players work anymore
14:36.12antiphaseOSS is distinctly flawed in that way
14:36.21morsingCrap
14:36.24morsingLinux sucks!
14:37.48trousersFunky, my dad has ordered some IP over power stuff, so I can eventually run my server in the garage depending on how good it is
14:39.17antiphasemorsing: You might try `timidity -Od /dev/dsp file.mid` if you haven't got ALSA
14:40.05antiphasetrousers: Can't you bury a bit of Cat5 ethernet cable between the house and the garage instead?
14:41.49trousersantiphase: The garage is attached to the hous
14:41.50trouserse
14:42.01trousersAnd IP over power is slightly more convenient :P
15:00.44morsingOk, got it all working now
15:00.46morsingBUT
15:01.04morsingI get this message when converting:
15:01.06morsingNo instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 10 - this instrument will not be heard
15:01.17morsingAnd the wav file plays but is silent
15:01.28morsingWhere do I download that instrument?
15:02.21morsingantiphase?
15:02.24morsingLeeds?
15:05.09antiphaseIt probably means it doesn't have bell noises available. No idea how you'd fix it though, never really used timidity
15:15.39morsingHmm...
