| daftykins | i enjoy a good supermarket trip | 17:02 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tselmgb1hkvbc2z/AACBXIbBsNTEKVUqpsAIWGVWa?dl=0 | 17:02 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:02 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Remind me, are you on Guernsey or Venezuela ? | 17:03 |
| daftykins | hehehe | 17:08 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I don't think our supermarkets have got fresh stuff yet after the new year either | 17:09 |
| daftykins | ooh the floods have anything to do with that up there? | 17:09 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: or at least not much, certainly I've not seen any sign of a parsnip yet | 17:09 |
| daftykins | just had one of the easiest jobs ever with a Dell laptop that doesn't power on | 17:13 |
| daftykins | "how old is it?" - bought in august - "ok, it's in warranty as per the website, call them up tomorrow" :D | 17:13 |
| penguin42 | how much did you charge for that advice? | 17:14 |
| daftykins | zero | 17:14 |
| penguin42 | I can see people paying a lot for someone prepared to deal with Dell's warranty team | 17:15 |
| daftykins | though i tried to pull the disk at the same time to get them their data, but it ended up being an SSD in a SATA adapter so couldn't fit the enclosure i'd taken along :) | 17:15 |
| daftykins | haha | 17:15 |
| daftykins | some local firm handles their contract, so we get actual local visits with faults now | 17:15 |
| daftykins | quite amazing | 17:15 |
| daftykins | used to be you'd have to convince them that nobody could drive down because of the wet bit in the middle | 17:16 |
| daftykins | i've had pretty good experiences though the time a client had an employee that seemed to enjoy feeding her laptop some wine | 17:18 |
| daftykins | except that i had to show one engineer how to disassemble the machine and show the second how to fight the EFI | 17:19 |
| penguin42 | did you show the 1st engineer how to put it back together? | 17:23 |
| daftykins | he got lucky and didn't have the wine-affected part on him so he got to hand it over to the second engineer the next day :) | 17:24 |
| daftykins | the laptop had a daughterboard that was the victim, whilst he'd only brought the main motherboard with him | 17:24 |
| daftykins | i was quite impressed at Dell managing to supply them next-day | 17:25 |
| daftykins | though given the weather and the boats i don't think today's client will have as much luck | 17:25 |
| penguin42 | you used to have a lot of warehouse business didn't you - or did that all dry up after vat changes? | 17:26 |
| daftykins | yeah, 7dayshop.com that i bought some rechargable batteries from yesterday and HMV used to operate local warehouses where we could even pick things up from direct - unfortunately when the UK government decided to close the LVCR (low value consignment relief) loophole, which allowed <£20 items to enter the UK VAT free, they all had to move | 17:27 |
| daftykins | i got screwed by that the other day as i sold an xbox game on ebay to someone in Scotland, i had to pay the VAT on it before it entered =| | 17:28 |
| penguin42 | ouch, but yeh I guess it probably means less boats as well, because those warehouses must have needed a lot of transport | 17:28 |
| daftykins | it originally came about to help local flower and tomato growers from what i understand, as it helped them compete with European sellers for a time | 17:28 |
| daftykins | yep the local post office actually had to stop doing saturday delivery as they couldn't afford to anymore | 17:29 |
| penguin42 | you need to dig a tunnel, it can't be *that* hard | 17:29 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:29 |
| daftykins | doesn't help that our latest boat has had massive problems, our island has a knack for buying up other peoples cast-offs and finding out they're rubbish for a reason | 17:30 |
| penguin42 | actually, I wonder how hard it is to build say a really narrow tunnel; more of a wide pipe | 17:30 |
| daftykins | the local bus service operates buses that were purchased from the slightly larger island Jersey - they sold them because they were deemed too big for the island | 17:30 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:31 |
| penguin42 | something large enough for a large PCI card/book/melon or any other similar item that could be delivered | 17:31 |
| penguin42 | I assume it's a LOT simpler to do a narrow thing | 17:31 |
| daftykins | we shall call it the elephant trunk! | 17:31 |
| penguin42 | use something like standard sewar or oil piping | 17:32 |
| mapps | hello | 19:01 |
| daftykins | lo | 19:05 |
| mapps | sup:D | 19:06 |
| daftykins | mmm not much going on here, itching for the week to start so i can get deliveries and get back to work | 19:07 |
| daftykins | what's new in mapps land? | 19:07 |
| directhex | moo | 19:09 |

| mapps | work time;/ | 19:44 |
| daftykins | :< | 19:46 |
| Lcawte | I don't suppose anyone hear happens to know of a repository for newer versions of libraw in 14.04? | 20:08 |
| Lcawte | Or am I going to have to build it from source? | 20:08 |
| daftykins | search or build, mmm | 20:14 |
| MartijnVdS | Lcawte: pmjdebruijn may be able to help you with raw stuff if it's photo raw stuff | 20:18 |
| MartijnVdS | Lcawte: he's on this network. | 20:18 |
