[00:19] hey [00:20] is for horses [00:20] as my mum would always say [00:20] lol [00:20] ;] [00:20] just finished my passport application..hoorah [00:21] hope they dont reject the photos [00:21] as long as you're not smiling [00:21] yeqa [00:21] and no hair coivering face/glasses etc [00:21] but [00:22] thing was ..it says two photos minmum of 45mm height by 35mm width - so i cut them but theyre a bit bigger..someone said they will cut them to size its just if theyre smaller they get rejected [00:23] i still either need to find my old expired passport or go through the rigmarole of reporting it lost before i can renew [00:23] and if i can't find it and have to report it lost, when i go to renew, i need to get photos signed etc :( [00:23] yea [00:23] thats why i had to [00:24] by a "respectable" person, mental [00:24] i lost mine somehow between manchester and home [00:24] ;( [00:24] mine is in the house somewhere [00:24] no bloomin' clue where it is [00:25] yea i thought the same dude [00:25] came back from holland..and hadnt been anywhere since..I NEVER take it out if i go to tesco or go out drinking..we arent a police state and im 29 [00:25] but i cant find it:( [00:29] even went to tesco to see if it had fallen out of my pocket ..went there on my way back had no food in [00:29] but no;/was going to go away March 10th-19th too but wont be able to now;( [00:30] unlucky [00:30] and you can't use the express same day / next day services with lost renewals, right? [00:30] yea thats what it said [00:31] dunno if theres any like 1 week thing ..but i figure i just cant go [00:31] you'd think by cancelling the old passport and verifying you from birth certificate, NI records, tax records, credit record, etc they could quickly verify you. [00:32] yep [00:32] agree [00:32] i work..mum and dad british..etc nothing dodgy [00:32] all my details can be checked easily [00:32] they even say with lost passports you may have to go for an interview to prove youu are who you say [00:32] thatd be a PAIN [00:33] so premium service (4 hours) isn't available for replacing lost passports [00:33] but the fast track (1 week) service is [00:33] £103 [00:33] https://www.gov.uk/get-a-passport-urgently [00:33] ooh [00:33] might do that [00:34] i take it you've done the reporting process for a lost passport already? [00:34] do i have to go to the post office or a passport office or can i still do it by post? [00:34] no--i was going to send that at the same time as my applicaiton form..says you can send the LS01 at same time [00:34] i'd do that first, but then again i'm not in a hurry ;) [00:35] probably best to call the advice line in the morning and get them to help [00:35] if you go to the post office they just put all the documents in an envelope and post it for you [00:35] 0300 222 000 8am-8pm [00:35] thats what i thought ali1234 [00:35] thanks [00:35] neuro, does it say whether you have to go to a passport office or anything though [00:35] i think you do [00:36] "To get your passport within 1 week, you must supply all your completed forms and supporting documents to Her Majesty’s Passport Office at the agreed appointment." [00:36] aha [00:36] you can book an appointment at a Passport Customer Service Centre from the adviceline [00:36] the interview is really dumb [00:36] read that page i linked to, it tells you Stuff [00:37] thanks [00:37] hey you had one ali1234 ? [00:37] i didn't know the answers to any of the questions they asked, still got a passport [00:37] what kind of questions do they ask you? [00:37] basically if you show up and you're white you get a passport [00:37] lol hat kinda qs [00:37] ye [00:37] "what's your favourite colour?" [00:37] lo [00:37] pretty much [00:37] "who is the manager of arsenal?" [00:37] "what is the queen's middle name?" [00:38] (answer: Royal, as in Her Royal Highness) [00:38] they ask you about the person who notarized your photos [00:38] what bank accounts you have [00:38] ie "what bank is your current account?" [00:38] oh jeez, that's easy [00:38] what about the person who notarised it [00:38] probably what do they do [00:39] how long have you known them [00:39] who is the person and how do you know them? [00:39] what's your relationship etc [00:40] i don't think they're interested in the answers you give, it's more of a stress test really [00:40] from the list of people of "good standing" you can get as countersignatory, I can only really see one that i could use: director/manager/personell officer of a VAT registered company [00:40] i would just talk to one of my mates who contracts a lot :) [00:41] ooh or "chairman/director of a limited company" [00:41] i used my friends wife [00:41] she's a teacher [00:41] "used" [00:41] * mapps knows noone [00:41] heh [00:42] you know what i mean:) [00:43] although in saying that, the occupations list does say "must work in (or be retired from) a recognised profession or be a 'person of good standing in their community', eg" [00:43] and the important bit is "eg" [00:43] so i guess it's not an exhaustive list [00:44] actually, a mate of mine works in a council-run sports centre [00:44] so he's had all the usual background checks to make sure he doesn't fiddle with kids [00:45] and he's had his application approved to volunteer at the Commonwealths [00:45] so he'd probably do [00:45] what the hell ... [00:46] http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/wind-farms-like-lockerbie-disaster-donald-trump-1-3304511 [00:46] donald trump has compared wind farm development in Scotland to the Lockerbie disaster [00:46] he's a lunatic [00:47] yea [00:47] moron [00:47] ;/ [00:49] jeez, they actually have a page on the golf club website (the one near aberdeen) detailing trump's scottish ancestry [00:50] aaaanyway ... [01:15] just had to go through a whole bunch of domain names resetting contact info :P [01:16] bloomin' annoying as the reason i got a reseller account to handle mates wanting domain names was to avoid all the admin hassle :) [01:19] heh [01:20] how many domains u got [01:20] counting ones that other people have bought from me, 32 [01:21] 12 personally [01:21] including omnombuntu.com which was a mistake really [01:21] hmm, i need to reset the default page [01:22] that's better [01:51] ;] [02:26] oke [02:26] taking my dell 1501 completely apart [02:26] to find out if it is the fan causing this horrific noise:) [02:29] D: [02:29] neuro: lol, no good deed. [02:29] if not..well then [02:29] we are stuck [02:29] :( [02:29] :) === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [02:31] throw it out and get a new! [02:31] no!" [02:31] never [02:32] hehe i jest [02:32] i hatr throwing stuff away:D [02:32] *hate [02:32] mapps: rather than disassemble twice [02:32] why not ebay a replacement cooler and strip it down with it present [02:32] ive got a new laptop samsung i5 ..this is my old dell from my uni days ..so ya its old [02:32] that way you can replace it if it is \o/ [02:32] just runs centos atm [02:32] what else could it be if not fan [02:32] i dunno i just turned up tbh i don't know the convo [02:33] i guess that's all it could be! [02:33] basically my dell 1501 makes a horrific noise ..but it works fine..boots and everything works [02:36] i only do laptop teardowns when i have enough wake-time to put them back together again :D [02:36] if i sleep between, i forget things [02:43] i get that heh..i printed out the instructons for taking it apart [02:43] :) [02:47] hmm well didnt think this through [02:47] i cant turn it on and power it up so i cant see the fan going [02:47] doesnt look bunged up with dirt though so nothing visibly wrong [02:54] is it a bearing based fan? [02:55] silly q but not sure what that means or how to know [02:57] so you've got a motor spinning it, but to stop it just being plastic on plastic spinning wearing itself out, they used to be metal ball bearings [02:57] or a cunning sleeve based system [02:57] sometimes it just says on the little fan what it is [02:57] but yeah this is why i like just replacing 'em 'cause yup it tends to be quite hard to run whilst on the bench [02:57] though i've always been happy to sketchily reassemble it enough to make it work [02:58] even if it means holding the battery up to it to run it XD [02:58] mains is easier to attach though of course [03:00] yea [03:00] i just didnt think duh..i need to be able to press it on and there's nothing i can press on the kaptops motherboard to go on [03:00] heh [03:00] it looks just like plastic [03:02] how do you mean press on to go on? 'cause the power button board's off? [03:02] ya [03:03] the hinge bit is off which is where the power button is [03:04] *nod* [03:05] you could put back the bare minimum :> [03:05] usually that board just presses on a button on the other side [03:05] yea thats what i thought thought id be able to press it myself? [03:05] maybe just put the hinge cover back on? [03:10] i'd imagine the only other thing in that system that's mechanical is the HDD? [03:11] maybe reassemble all and take the HDD out, then fire it up :D [03:11] but yeah doubt it's that really [03:14] hm [03:14] so for now to test fan [03:14] put hinge back? [03:14] hinge cover [03:18] i really don't know the specific laptop to tell what's viable or not :D [03:23] :) [03:23] so what you doing up this time|? NBA all stars on [03:26] it's my birthday ^_^ [03:26] ah happy birthday [03:26] :D [03:26] off worek tomorrow?

[12:31] rhel isn't so bad really, I use it on a daily basis [12:31] let me guess, you got tired of it ;) [12:31] MooDoo: except when you need a modern piece of software. RHEL releases less often than Debian, doesn't it? [12:32] MartijnVdS: depends on what you want, there are repos you can use for most stuff. [12:32] if Rackspace supported ubuntu in dedicated, we could break up the teams in to rhel and ubuntu specialists [12:32] I would happily volunteer for the ubuntu team === marcushaslam_ is now known as marcushaslam [12:32] MooDoo: sure, but all I've heard is "We're not installing that, it's not in the official repos" [12:32] gee, thanks sysadmin.. [12:33] we support epel and ius [12:33] nothing else [12:33] (and the official ones, of course) [12:33] MartijnVdS: well what in particular? if it's not in the repos what would you need it for? unless you're doing something specidic [12:33] MartijnVdS: playing devils advocate here :d [12:34] MooDoo: it was some Oracle server, maintained by external sysadmins [12:34] MartijnVdS: stupid computers :) [12:34] MooDoo: part of the problem was that we didn't really have a good way of communicating with them [12:34] and that every keystroke cost money [12:34] MartijnVdS: time to move to windoze ;) [12:35] /o\ [12:35] MooDoo: Nah, time to ditch Oracle ;) [12:35] https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1900104_10153860996120721_1871978483_n.jpg [12:35] SuperMatt: heh [12:35] SuperMatt: have you got a picture of your pod yet so we can all see where you're workin?
