daftykins | that's a quirky task! | 07:13 |
AuroraAvenue | What's that daftykins ? | 07:32 |
knightwise | still can't believe we don't have a client for the Google Drive these days | 08:26 |
daftykins | heh | 08:27 |
daftykins | you'd sooner get a OneDrive client ; | 08:27 |
daftykins | ;D | 08:27 |
* brobostigon has a more simple wishlist, irssinotifier for ubuntu touch. | 08:30 | |
knightwise | daftykins: you are probably right | 08:32 |

daftykins | i'm not even hugely impressed by the G Drive client in Windows land, i put it in at a clients with their documents sat inside it hoping for auto backup, most times i visit it's not even running in the system tray... and it breaks the windows indexer service so search doesn't work (well) in there - even on an SSD say | 08:41 |
popey | MOrning | 08:59 |
popey | brobostigon: I'd like that too! | 08:59 |
brobostigon | :) | 08:59 |
daftykins | wouldn't it be easier to use one of these more modern clients that lurks on one host and you can connect in from multiple device types? | 09:00 |
daftykins | znc or such like | 09:00 |
brobostigon | ssh? | 09:00 |
daftykins | no | 09:01 |
daftykins | that's general purpose ;) | 09:01 |
popey | not really, i only want it for notifications | 09:04 |
popey | and I already use irssi | 09:04 |
popey | Myrtti: do you know the irssinotifier developer? I have a vague recollection you said you did. | 09:05 |
daftykins | i can't think of the names but i'm sure there're more modern approaches to the whole thing that'd tie that in, but i too use irssi and can't be bothered to branch out! | 09:05 |
Myrtti | popey: icb bloke I know, but I probably could get in touch with the in guy too, easily, why? | 09:08 |
Myrtti | oh | 09:09 |
Myrtti | https://github.com/murgo/IrssiNotifier | 09:11 |
popey | oh! | 09:12 |
popey | ta | 09:13 |
brobostigon | :) | 09:14 |
knightwise | The Synology Sync client on my linux machine is a tad slow | 09:38 |
knightwise | but it appears to do the job | 09:38 |
knightwise | I'm happy it works though. | 09:38 |
daftykins | that the backup only type one, or the home dropbox type one? | 09:39 |
knightwise | Home dropbox type one | 09:50 |
knightwise | works pretty smoothly these days | 09:50 |
daftykins | mmm, i debated trying it for some folks - a home OpenVPN setup letting them browse to mapped drives to docs seems useful also | 09:52 |
knightwise | true , but I'm not always able to setup a vpn, | 09:52 |
knightwise | mostly i work behind clients firewalls en stuff | 09:52 |
daftykins | *nod* i'm sure the circumstances always vary | 09:52 |
knightwise | so I run into scenarios where they dont allow me to dail in | 09:52 |
knightwise | + its essential for me that I can work offline too | 09:53 |
knightwise | When I do presentations I always need to have a realtime copy of the presentation on my laptop and on the home server | 09:53 |
knightwise | just in case something happens | 09:53 |
daftykins | just had an email from an uncle who wants to try out connecting back into his office as it goes! what timing | 09:54 |
knightwise | 4 | 10:09 |
knightwise | sorry , wrong window | 10:09 |

knightwise | Calibre + conversion of Epubs and 'send-to-kindle' is the bomb :) | 10:26 |
zmoylan-pi | the norwegians who found the irish engineers excitement really funny at been up at dawn in minus umpteen degrees listening to critturs they couldn't see | 10:26 |
* zmoylan-pi makes sign of the ebook at mention of calibre as it is a lifesaver... | 10:27 | |

knightwise | Urban explorers wet dream | 10:31 |
