[17:02] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tselmgb1hkvbc2z/AACBXIbBsNTEKVUqpsAIWGVWa?dl=0
[17:02] <daftykins> :D
[17:03] <penguin42> daftykins: Remind me, are you on Guernsey or Venezuela ?
[17:08] <daftykins> hehehe
[17:09] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <penguin42> how much did you charge for that advice?
[17:14] <daftykins> zero
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <daftykins> used to be you'd have to convince them that nobody could drive down because of the wet bit in the middle
[17:18] <daftykins> i've had pretty good experiences though the time a client had an employee that seemed to enjoy feeding her laptop some wine
[17:19] <daftykins> except that i had to show one engineer how to disassemble the machine and show the second how to fight the EFI
[17:23] <penguin42> did you show the 1st engineer how to put it back together?
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <penguin42> you used to have a lot of warehouse business didn't you - or did that all dry up after vat changes?
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <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
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <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!
[17:32] <penguin42> use something like standard sewar or oil piping
[19:01] <mapps> hello
[19:05] <daftykins> lo
[19:06] <mapps> sup:D
[19:07] <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?
[19:09] <directhex> moo
[19:11] <daftykins> ah a wild hexy
[19:19] <mapps> nothing

[19:46] <daftykins> :<
[20:08] <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?
[20:14] <daftykins> search or build, mmm
[20:18] <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.
