daftykinspretty.00:25
daftykinsyes, i could go for some of that... food!00:26
diddledanI'm not entirely sure how that image could have come about00:26
daftykinsphotography?00:26
diddledanno, I mean how the ice formed like that00:27
daftykins:D00:27
daftykinsbit puzzling eh00:27
diddledanit's obviously some interaction with the wires in the fence, but I'm boggled as to how00:27
diddledanor why00:27
diddledanor who00:27
diddledanor life00:28
diddledandammit, daftykins, now you've got me on an existential quest00:28
daftykinswould you like the original link at least? XD00:28
daftykinsbut yeah you would think fair enough a perpendicular wind would rush through but what's stopping it right there 0o00:29
shaunoseems fairly straight forward? it's windy?00:30
daftykinsoh actually00:31
diddledanwell that trumps my theory of elvis00:31
shaunoI mean the ice is forming on the top of the posts exactly the same way00:31
daftykins*facepalm*00:31
daftykinsof course it's forming on the wire then freezing, then the fence still flings around which is why it's not in contact00:31
daftykinssilly me.00:32
daftykinswell, i feel that's enough to accept it :>00:32
diddledanI wonder if there's a second-rate porn star who calls himself "elvis the pelvis"?00:32
shaunoor the metal heats up in the sun better than the ice does  (ice reflects sunlight pretty well)00:32
shaunolol dan, what have I told you about thinking?00:32
daftykins^00:33
daftykinswhere will you chaps be Christmas Eve / Day ?00:33
shaunowork00:33
diddledanmy sister's on xmas day00:33
shaunohappy overtimemass everybody :D00:33
diddledanwith the kiddlywinks00:34
diddledan(not mine)00:34
daftykinsdiddledan: i should hope not, that's incest00:34
diddledanlol00:34
zmoylan-piat home as per usual.  just another day00:34
shaunosomeone should rent out kiddlywinks for xmas.  it just doesn't seem right without them, but I'm not sure I want them the rest of the year00:34
daftykinsah in that case zmoylan-pi you can take diddledan's place then it'll still be us 3 conferring late at night00:35
daftykinsbring booze :)00:35
diddledandon't forget the random thinking00:35
daftykinsshauno: some human rights types might get a bit uptight about 'kids are for life not just for Chrimbo' or some such00:35
shaunono no, that's puppies00:35
daftykinsah puppies have finer rights? excellent00:36
shaunodifferent rights00:36
diddledanchildren can be kept in cages for the rest of the year00:36
diddledanstop them escaping00:36
shaunoI honestly ... well I mean we used to put our dogs in kennels when we went away00:36
diddledanthat way they'll be available when it's xmas time again00:37
daftykinsshauno: my parents do that but they're always complaining about the rates00:37
shaunoI guess you'd have to rename it 'camp' like the yanks do, but that doesn't seem like a bad theory00:37
daftykinsi've got to arrange a cat sitter now actually as i'm going to be in England middle of Jan00:37
diddledanfatcamp00:37
shaunoanyway.  yeah.  my xmas is 12 hour shifts, monday to friday00:38
diddledanbecause there's nothing like a drill sargent yelling at a child to do pushups to encourage binge eating and other forms of elf-harm00:38
shaunoI actually like xmas for this.  you can hoard all the overtime and no-one complains00:39
diddledanheh00:39
diddledanpays for shiny in the new year sales00:39
daftykinsshauno: :D00:39
shaunoI'm going away for new years .. easy come easy go00:39
daftykinsshauno: ooh where-to?00:40
shaunoparis00:40
shauno(it made sense at the time.  before I discovered they don't do fireworks.  d'oh)00:40
daftykinswhaaaaat00:40
diddledanor for the move to the arse-end of bulgiviaden or wtf ya missus is from00:40
diddledanlol00:41
diddledanwhat do they do when they want to make the eifel tower explode?00:41
daftykinssend for David Copperfield of course00:41
shaunothey wait 'till bastille day00:41
shaunoapparently on new years they just flubber the lightswitch00:41
diddledanlike the way we did with the london eye a few years ago00:41
daftykinshey i'm realy chuffed with this new Linksys 16 port gigabit switch, twice the ports of my netgear... far smaller mains adapter and no heat from it!00:42

shaunojust nosey :)00:46
shaunomine mostly bug me for the noise00:46
daftykinsah always been silent here :D i guess you're talking the more 24 port rackmount puppies?00:48
shaunoyeah, the managed ones.  that seems to be the huge difference00:48
shaunostick half an ounce of intelligence in them and suddenly they want those little angry midget fans00:48
daftykins:D00:48
diddledanshauno, it's all because of skynet00:49
diddledanthat half an ounce of intelligence is actually self-aware00:49
shaunowell as long as they don't start making bad puns ..00:50
diddledanI'm a punny guy00:50
shaunodo you listen to The Bugle?00:50

diddledanI'm just waiting for the credits to finish in case there's a marvel studios sneak peak like they have on iron man and avengers moviews03:57
daftykinsah yes! they always make lingering in the cinema a thing03:59

intrbizGerman shop is: http://www.pollin.de/shop/suchergebnis.html?S_TEXT=odroid&log=internal15:40
intrbizThey have the C1 listed aswell as the U3 and XU315:40
NET||abuseintrbiz: yeh, that's where i'm concerned. will be a real sting for that, got hit with that in Ireland before with a sata dock, great device, real tax pain.15:40
