[12:57] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[17:03] <dscassel> Hey, BluesKaj
[17:03] <BluesKaj> hi dscassel
[17:04] <dscassel> How's things?
[17:05] <BluesKaj> fine, and you ?
[17:05] <dscassel> Can't complain.
[17:05] <BluesKaj> heh
[17:06] <dscassel> Pretty slow at work this week. Pretty much everybody's off for the holidays.
[17:06] <BluesKaj> already ?
[17:07] <dscassel> We've got a "you must take vacation before the end of the year" vacation policy, which means tonnes of people take the last two weeks of the year off.
[17:08] <BluesKaj> must be nice to have such an extended holiday then ...I used to get a week at the most , well 19 days if Christams was aon a thurs or fri
[17:08] <BluesKaj> err 10 days
[17:09] <BluesKaj> 19 would be nice :)
[17:10] <BluesKaj> but it's all moot now , I'm on a constant vacation , being retired etc
[17:13] <dscassel> Yeah, software development type places have it pretty cushy.  We get the week between Christmas and New Years off because the company basically shuts down.
[17:14] <dscassel> And three weeks vacation isn't bad (although I had 4 at a place I worked at a few years ago after being there 8 years. That was nice).
[17:14] <dscassel> I actually *took* my vacation this year, which is why I'm still here.
[17:15] <BluesKaj> right, well the perks to keep talent
[17:21]  * genii-around makes fresh coffee
[17:23] <BluesKaj> hey genii-around , how goes it ?
[17:25] <BluesKaj> i've had a frustrating couple of days , trying to find fixes for hdmi audio problems , with intel and nvidia onboards
[17:28] <BluesKaj> not for my setup ..coax is perfect for my setup ... my old receiver can only accept coax and toslink digital ...it's these new pcs with hdmi outs that are suddenly a problem with alsa and pulse...not a lot of effective documentation/tutorial fixes on the net
[17:42] <genii-around> BluesKaj: Fairly busy for a Monday... The new sump pump for elevator pit came in, installing that later on. Also we had a drain problem at one of the street-level shops in the building, put the auger down 35 feet and didn't get it cleared. So will have to yank out some wall and see if there's a cleanout further along, etc.
[17:45] <BluesKaj> wow, sounds like a major blockage ..old tree roots perhaps
[17:46] <genii-around> They just finished installing some other sinks in that unit, and put down new tile. I suspect the workers washed some mortar down the new sinks and it set somewhere along the way.
[17:48] <BluesKaj> luvly :(
[17:50] <genii-around> Yeah. Is all copper that feeds later into larger cast-iron buggers too
