JamesTaitAKA "Pretend You're Irish Day", eh MooDoo? ☘09:36
zmoylan-pi...or if you're irish avoid dublin like the plague as it'll be tourists and debauchery...09:38
JamesTaitzmoylan-pi, I'd always assumed that was the general case, tbh.09:40
zmoylan-pitrue but paddies day is x1009:40
popeyPotato!09:42

popeyTo be sure.09:44
davmor2JamesTait: got you covered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qc3_joy5A09:45
JamesTaitTop o' the mornin' to you too, davmor209:48
zmoylan-pithere was a poll for songs that make you feel most irish... http://www.rte.ie/radio1/ray/  #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5PT65I2ny809:48
davmor2zmoylan-pi, JamesTait: this is more synonymous with Saint Patricks day nowadays though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTjC6rxHz8g09:50
JamesTaitzmoylan-pi, I'd have to agree ☺09:58
davmor2zmoylan-pi: you mean it was Danny Boy10:00
davmor2wasn't even10:00
zmoylan-pidanny boy is more for americans who want to get in touch with irish roots.10:00
davmor2but that is how you spot the Irish in a pub, They have one too many and all burst into Danny Boy10:00
zmoylan-pithe only version i like is the one i heard once of the drunken version with the verse.  'and just when you think it can't get any worse' 'turns out the drunk bugger knows every verse' :-)10:01
davmor2zmoylan-pi: hahaha11:12
davmor2zmoylan-pi: reminds me of the beer song from the bard11:13
awilkinsAnyone laid hands on the new Lenovo T460s  ?11:15
awilkinsI've kinda decided against the X1 Carbon because I hear it overheats when you ask it to, y'know, do stuff.11:15

popeybigcalm: hows the pebble?11:36
bigcalmpopey: mostly comfortable. I'm going to go to Timpsons at lunch time and see about a different strap11:36
bigcalmpopey: I do like the rubbery strap, but it is rather sweat inducing11:37
bigcalmI've managed to scruff the bezel a little. Thankfully it's not the glass11:37
popeyI think that's inevitable really11:38
popeyI know some people have bought stickers to cover the bezel11:38
popeymine's not too badly scuffed as it happens. Which is surprising given how scuffed my phones are11:38
popeyI don't drop my watch often though :)11:38
bigcalm:D11:39
zmoylan-pii have a tendency to stop doors swinging or lift doors with my watch11:46
awilkinsYou'd think they'd put a brushed steel bezel on or something11:49
foobarryanyone use a privacy screen on their laptop?11:51
foobarryor monitor11:51
awilkinsI've seen them used but I've never considered getting one myself11:53

TwistedLuciditydavmor2: What is it with celebs not making it through 70? We're starting to get told we can't retire until we're over 75...I worried about working myself to death!16:20
davmor2TwistedLucidity: only the good die young you'll live forever ;)16:22
diddledan2016 has been excellent so far at killing off our heroes16:22
TwistedLucidity\o/16:22
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: I'm off out tonight and I intend to be rather evil towards a few pints....16:22
davmor2diddledan: to be honest the last 12 months have been16:22
diddledanthose that aren't dead or dying are being arrested for naughty sexual deviance16:23
davmor2maybe that is the cause it was the sex drugs and rock and roll16:24
TwistedLucidityStrangely, it's the clean-cut ones who are getting arrested. The actual hard-rocking deviant seem to be...err...normal16:24
diploHey guys, not sure how many of you work with lots of customers but wondering what others do... each of customers have different setups from us doing support for PC's/network/software to external companies to themselves. Wanting a way to store that information and was wondering if anyone uses any specific software to do that ?16:31
diploIf not I'll probably try adding to Case management software but it's quite a task :)16:31
TwistedLuciditydiplo: We do and it's a sodding PITA16:44
TwistedLucidityThere's no easy answer to be honest, especially as customers upgrade stuff, don't tell use and then whinge when things break. Which we, of course, can't replicate on what we /think/ is their system.16:44
diploMore to the point for us is I don't do a lot of support but have been doing more recently, the 2 guys that do it no all this stuff off the top of their heads16:46
diploI just wanted a way of storing information per site on who their support contracts are with etc16:46
diploGuess I'll write something myself :)16:46
TwistedLucidityWe have a variety of tools in the products which yank versions relevant to them. That, some text fields and a large amount of swearing from me seems to work.16:48
diddledanI've never used a CRM but I wonder if maybe one of those would help?16:48
diploMaybe, going to install some stuff in a VM and play I guess16:58
diploAnyway home time! \o/16:58
diplothanks guys16:58
