[10:18] <davmor2> popey: that's how I felt ages ago
[10:38]  * daftykins brings out the Branston
[10:41] <daftykins> i saw something quite sad in the supermarket earlier, the place now making the sandwiches for their lunch section thinks that "ham, cheese and pickle" is to be made with gherkins instead of branston :S
[10:55] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.

[11:00] <davmor2> popey: I'm outraged there is no Links in there
[11:00] <daftykins> :P
[11:01] <davmor2> popey: or links2, or lynx, or wget and read the source it's like the matrix of browsers :D

[13:15] <daftykins> gents o/
[13:23] <zmoylan-pi> mammals o/
[13:24] <brobostigon> carbon based life forms.
[13:25] <zmoylan-pi> there is a bot in the channel, probably silicon based lifeforms too
[13:25] <popey> !botsnack
[13:25] <popey> \o/
[13:25] <popey> how to out a bot in one easy step :)
[13:25]  * zmoylan-pi sticks with 'everything i sat is a lie'
[13:26] <zmoylan-pi> *say
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> that and a nokia in a sock to take out terminators and i'm covered :-)
[13:30] <MartijnVdS> zmoylan-pi: maybe that borg-killing picture

[13:41] <zmoylan-pi> couldn't we just email them an epub of escher? :-)
[13:47] <MartijnVdS> hmmm

[14:00] <popey> wow
[14:01] <daftykins> oh my word
[14:03] <popey> apparently done in their "lego room"
[14:03] <daftykins> how the other half live
[14:05] <shauno> the other half live in lego castles?
[14:06] <daftykins> that they do
[14:07] <daftykins> they're a lot smaller so we never notice
[14:39] <davmor2> WOW just WOW
[19:18] <diddledan> daftykins, did you get 10 installed?
[19:18] <diddledan> allo folks
[19:21] <directhex> daftykins: you had shingles? that sucks, i had that a couple of years ago
[19:22]  * zmoylan-pi had that when i was teenager
[19:22] <directhex> i'm not convinced the meds weren't worse than the illness itself
[19:22] <diddledan> I had the pox when I was teeny
[19:23] <directhex> felt *so* pukey after my morning dose of antiretrovirals. yuck
[19:33] <penguin42> oh I hadn't realised they were using them for shingles
[19:50] <directhex> penguin42: risk of nerve damage
[19:53] <penguin42> directhex: From the drugs or not using the drugs?
[19:53] <directhex> not using
[19:53] <penguin42> nod
[19:54] <penguin42> I'll have to watch out in later life; I got chicken pox in my 30s
[19:55] <directhex> shingles is a VZV (chicken pox) re-activation on a spinal nerve, so it manifests in a patch on your skin for an area affected by a single major spinal nerve
[19:56] <directhex> if it's a nerve related to your face or eyes, you're in trouble
[19:56] <penguin42> (Oddly I was in hospital for an unrelated problem when I was about 9 when the rest of the ward had chicken pox and I didn't)
[19:56] <popey> hmm, is it possible (in windows) to raise the refresh rate above 60Hz? Mine doesn't seem to go any higher.
[19:57] <penguin42> popey: I suspect it depends on what the monitor tells it
[19:57] <popey> DVI if that matters.
[19:57] <popey> the help for the monitor suggests it can go to 75Hz
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> popey: depends on what the screen claims it can do
[19:57] <directhex> popey: at your target res?
[19:57] <popey> but the UI won't let me
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> popey: what does "xrandr" say?
[19:57] <popey> oh, I guess maybe not
[19:57] <popey> MartijnVdS: Windows :S
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> popey: oh :(
[19:57] <diddledan> there's not much reason to do so unless you're running 3d off it
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> My screen does 75Hz up to 1280x1024
[19:58] <MartijnVdS> and 60Hz above that
[19:58] <popey> oh okay, so probably not possible
[19:58] <popey> I just noticed flicker in the corner of the screen
[19:58] <directhex> popey: try feeding a proper .inf for your monitor, not relying on EDID/PnP profile
[19:58] <popey> will do
[19:58] <diddledan> interesting - 3 has bought o2
[19:59] <directhex> confirmed?
[20:00] <directhex> oh, yes. hm
[20:00] <brobostigon> i think there are still loads of hoops to go though, like competition approval etc.
[20:00] <popey> wonder what that will mean for giffgaff
[20:01] <directhex> concerns about price rises... people *do* know o2 was already one of the most expensive networks, right?
[20:01] <directhex> yeah, i wonder for giffgaff
[20:01] <brobostigon> and i believe, its is hutchison whampoa that has boought o2, not three directly.
[20:01] <directhex> technically, yes
[20:01] <DJones> Can't see it changing existing contracts
[20:03] <popey> heh, it can do 1024x768@75Hz!
[20:03] <popey> no higher
[20:03] <brobostigon> one would hope, it expands three's existing 3g/4g/lte, and will allow three customers to roam with o2 in lower signal areas.
[20:06] <diddledan> brobostigon, I would surmise that the first order of business would be to allow the two networks to roam between as you hope, and then eventually merge the infrastructures
[20:07] <brobostigon> yes, i would agree diddledan
[20:16] <ali1234> yeah better signal for three would be great
[20:17] <brobostigon> and more consistant data,
[20:22] <penguin42> curious, my VM router has a log message from 23/00/2015
[20:22] <diddledan> penguin42, magic

[20:26] <diddledan> weird
