<popey> he said he slightly over-prescribed so they'd last longer as they turn from "doing electronics with the kids" glasses into "reading" glasses
<popey> ta
<bigcalm> popey: I order my glasses from these people: http://www.spex4less.com/
<awilkins> I just have a pair of +1 reading glasses I bought off the shelf in Sainsbury's
<awilkins> Plastic lenses, no frames
<awilkins> Useful up to about 2 feet away from my eyeballs
<bigcalm> awilkins: you have a very long nose
 * popey hugs laney for bug 959505
<lubotu3> bug 959505 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) "gedit wants to save in "recently used" by default" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/959505
<foobarry> \o/
<foobarry> gets me a lot
<Laney> not my favourite behaviour
<MartijnVdS> didn't upstream claim it was a feature?
<Laney> it didn't happen by accident
<MartijnVdS> i.e. it was a feature
<foobarry> however its not possible
<MartijnVdS> foobarry: Gnome devs are not known for common sense
<foobarry> so a half baked feature
<awilkins> Recently used can contain folders...
<awilkins> ... but yes, it's mostly a bit daft
<bigcalm> Maybe the idea is that you then chose a directory from those recently used?
<Dave2> Solution: use a real text editor
 * Dave2 hides.
<bigcalm> Use a real IDE ;)
<TwistedLucidity> Dave2: MS Word?
<Dave2> Said real IDE being called "vim"
<MartijnVdS> TwistedLucidity: Excel of course.
<MartijnVdS> TwistedLucidity: that's also the One True Database System
<awilkins> The main thing that annoys me about Unix text editors (including vim) is they append a final line ending to files even when there wasn't one
<awilkins> It's a niche thing
<Seeker`> C files are meant to have one
<MartijnVdS> you can configure them to not do that ususally
<awilkins> But there are certain files in certain VCS repositories (bzr, I'm looking at you) that don't cope with it
<popey> Dave2: gvim does the same as gedit â»
<Seeker`> you should only be writing C on unix :P
