[00:00] <diddledan> sheep
[00:01] <zmoylan-pi> leek
[00:01] <diddledan> do they?
[00:01]  * diddledan stands back from the leeky sheep
[00:01] <zmoylan-pi> you've obviously never been in a field with leeky sheep
[00:03] <zmoylan-pi> do you not remember the poster 'loose leeks, sink sheeps'
[00:03] <diddledan> nope
[00:05]  * zmoylan-pi gets comfy to try and get my 4 hours of sleep....
[00:05] <diddledan> :-o
[00:05] <diddledan> sheep!
[00:05]  * diddledan tries to get zmoylan-pi baaing of sheep
[00:05] <zmoylan-pi> 4 hours of sheep would be a whole other issue...
[00:06] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: baa
[00:06] <diddledan> terminator sheep sound scary
[00:06] <zmoylan-pi> baa humbug
[00:07] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[00:07] <diddledan> \o woolly sheep baa
[00:07] <diddledan> you WILL dream of electric sheep
[05:41] <mapps> yo
[05:41] <mapps> finale of americans..yay
[06:15] <mapps> such a good showw
[07:17] <diplo> Morning all :)
[08:09] <Switches> Morning. Coffee time!
[08:11] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:35]  * zmoylan-pi pushes bran flakes around a bowl...
[08:37] <TwistedLucidity> How curious...Defraggler on Windows is recognising an SSD as a HDD and trying to defrag it; that's not good.
[08:39] <SuperMatt> it's *not* not good
[08:39] <SuperMatt> all it will be doing is move the data around on the disk
[08:39] <TwistedLucidity> I know
[08:39] <SuperMatt> that's not a problem per-se
[08:39] <TwistedLucidity> It's not good because you don't defrag an SSD
[08:40] <TwistedLucidity> Excessive delete/writes
[08:40] <TwistedLucidity> What it should do is issue a TRIM
[08:40] <TwistedLucidity> Make me wonder if Windows has a driver issue. Again.
[08:43] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:03] <JamesTait> Good morning all!  Happy Thursday, and happy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! 🙌
[09:25] <davmor2> diddledan, JamesTait: thinking outside the box for this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UQK-UcRezE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zedq1VhaS90 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RciM7P9K3FA :D
[09:32] <Laney> COME ONNNNNNNNNN PARCELFORCE
[09:33]  * zmoylan-pi pictures parcel force worker sprinting towards Laney's place and then dropping and punting the parcel the last 50 yards... :-P
[09:34] <JamesTait> Very good, davmor2.
[09:34] <JamesTait> Bonus points for Roobard and Custard.
[09:35] <davmor2> JamesTait: rhubarb was always going to be the issue :)
[09:36] <zmoylan-pi> a perfect tv show that should be shown on kids tv at 0600 on sundays for kids with parents who have hangovers
[09:38] <JamesTait> This should be the alarm call: https://youtu.be/cQsYXG1ONaM?t=1m52s
[09:39] <TwistedLucidity> zmoylan-pi: All you seem to get these days is a "Sorry we missed you" card (even when you're home) and then you have to drive to the depot.
[09:40] <zmoylan-pi> delivered by postal ninja
[09:42] <Laney> I'm scared to have the radio on in case I miss them :(
[09:42] <Laney> what kind of cruel torture is a 5 day delivery window anyway?
[09:46] <diplo> :D
[09:47] <diplo> Amazon Prime, sat in bed last night at 22:40, ordered something, notification at 02:22 out for delivery, delivered to my work place already
[09:47] <diplo> Only just signed up to it, but can see why people like it and stay
[09:47] <diplo> Didn't even want the item that quickly
[09:47]  * Laney releases bees in diplo's pants
[09:48] <diplo> hehehe
[09:48] <diplo> And it's not even for me :P
[09:48] <zmoylan-pi> african, japanese or european bees?
[09:49] <foobarry> http://giphy.com/gifs/oprah-bees-dcubXtnbck0RG
[10:01] <TwistedLucidity> As we both telecommute, there's no need for us to fuss over Prime. I really must stop using Amazon so much.
[10:05] <Myrtti> Prime is great for special occasions
[10:05] <Myrtti> we got the Prime 30-day trial 29 days before our wedding last year
[10:06] <zmoylan-1i> they deliver brides on time? :-P
[10:06] <Myrtti> no, Arduino parts, hair combs, power cables, etc.
[10:08] <zmoylan-1i> everything the modern bride needs :-)
[10:08] <Myrtti> well I did :-D
[10:08] <zmoylan-pi> that's all that matters
[10:15] <Myrtti> https://www.instagram.com/p/zgCTZpAul0/ :-D
[10:15] <Myrtti> can just about see the wire jumble inside the lampshade
[10:15] <zmoylan-pi> hopefully carefully preserved somewhere now
[10:16] <Myrtti> in a vase, on the bookcase, high, high above mundane life
[10:16] <Myrtti> charged and ready to use :-D
[10:16] <zmoylan-pi> emergency bridal give aways happen so often... :-P
[10:16] <Myrtti> (ie. present to curious friends and colleagues)
[10:17] <Myrtti> hubby did a show and tell at his work after he returned to work, with a side dish of IKEA princesscakes
[10:19] <zmoylan-pi> when all else fails, bribe them.. :-)
[10:19] <Myrtti> made it a bit easier to give them a taste of our wedding cake :-D "Thanks IKEA"
[11:57] <foobarry> new ghostbusters looks bad
[11:58] <zmoylan-pi> it's a remake of a near perfect classic... was it ever going to be great?
[11:59] <Myrtti> my impression of it based on one of the trailers was that it's perhaps been made with more humorous take on things than the originals
[11:59] <foobarry> female humour though
[11:59] <foobarry> the main difference between the sexes
[11:59] <foobarry> apart from the nether regions
[11:59] <Myrtti> obviously I don't have anything against that, but I don't know if I'd have pushed the boat out quite as far in general
[12:00] <Myrtti> I don't know if I'm making any sense, I've slept two hours last night and I'm staying awake only to sign off amazon parcels I'm waiting
[12:00] <zmoylan-pi> if you're doing a remake or a sequel it has to be incredible compared to the original or else it will forever be remembered as a failure
[12:01] <zmoylan-pi> how many sequels/remakes can you think of that are better/as good?
[12:01] <Myrtti> Empire Strikes Back
[12:01] <Myrtti> Terminator 2
[12:01] <Myrtti> Harry Potters
[12:01] <zmoylan-pi> aliens
[12:01] <Myrtti> Aliens
[12:02] <zmoylan-pi> but they are the exceptions
[12:02] <zmoylan-pi> except terminator 2, not as good as the original in my mind
[12:02] <Myrtti> Home Alone 2
[12:04] <zmoylan-pi> i mean even ghostbusters 2 is considered terrible
[12:21] <DJones> Ewwww, IT expert with an unusual problem ..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-36490546?
[12:22] <zmoylan-pi> i did have a printer brought in after customer complained it smelled... dead mouse guillotined by the dot matrix printer...
[12:23] <brobostigon> lol.
[12:24] <TwistedLucidity> Ghostbusters 3 look like career suicide. Why did it need a reboot?
[12:24] <zmoylan-pi> my boss with a massive head cold was sent to get it.  it had been left in back store room in hot sweltering summer... my other boss jumped out first story window to get away from the smell whilest i went out back window onto extension...
[13:08] <DJones> Strange request from my wife (a community nurse) "Can you put some Elvis Presley & Jim Reeves music on cd to make one of her terminally ill patients happy in the last days"....Of course
[13:11] <Myrtti> slip in a Swedish House Mafia song
[13:11] <Myrtti> or Skrillex
[13:11] <DJones> I'm more likely to slip in some napalm death or virgin prunes
[13:15] <zmoylan-pi> crikey... nurses enabling music piracy...
[13:15] <DJones> Wewll yeah, but all in a good cause
[13:16] <zmoylan-pi> i'm sure the various music mafia lawyers will see it that way
[13:25] <TwistedLucidity> I am shocked an horrified that the NHS is so lax it enables this illegality!
[13:25]  * TwistedLucidity calls the Daily Mail
[13:27] <DJones> I think its available on prescription
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> they could get around this terrible ip infringement by insisting on only sony cd players as they are crap with cd-rs
[14:00] <diddledan> m00rning
[14:00]  * diddledan checks the clock to be sure it’s not tomorrow yet
[14:02] <diddledan> off on horror day in the morning
[14:03] <diddledan> I’m wondering whether I should take a chromecast in case there’s nowt on the telly (that’s what holidays are for: watching tellybox)
[14:04] <awilkins> I used to preload my tablet with a long stretch of transcoded box-set
[14:08] <foobarry> plus a usb hard drive with otg cable
[14:10] <Laney> bloody tease
[14:11] <Laney> delivery driver knocks, I get all excited
[14:11] <Laney> parcel for next door :@
[14:11] <Laney> #parcelforceupdates
[14:11] <diddledan> awww
[14:11] <diddledan> that’s mean
[14:11] <foobarry> looking for new job. wondering whether homeworking would work for me
[14:11] <foobarry> most homeworkers seem so excited by the sign of a UPS truck, i'm a bit concerned
[14:12] <foobarry> mind you, if i got a rmeote work job, the first thing i'd job is install a massive log cabin house at the bottom of my garden
[14:13] <Laney> if I were in an office I'd be getting excited about every email from reception instead
[14:13] <Laney> "CAKES IN THE KITCHEN? SCREW YOU I WANT A PARCEL"
[14:14] <Laney> that or punching the post room boy when he brings a TPS report instead of a new phone
[14:14] <Laney> *or* spending my evenings driving to sorting offices on depressing industrial estates
[14:16] <foobarry> stalking any person in red shorts and a satchel
[14:17] <popey> I put post-it notes on my door to the delivery man
[14:19] <diddledan> popey: do they say “I have a very secial set of skill that I’ve honed over a long career, I don’t care who you are, or why you didn’t wait for me to answer the door, I will find you and I will kill you.
[14:19] <popey> no, usually "sign this"
[14:20] <diddledan> aww, you’re no fun :-p
[18:22] <diddledan> are we netsplitting or was that d/c just me?
[18:23] <zmoylan-pi> a few others but not a netsplit i don't think
[18:26] <zmoylan-pi> my web has been a bit wonky today as well.  not just irc though.
[19:16] <marshmn> I'm back to using Unity instead of Gnome Shell
[19:16] <marshmn> I still really like Gnome Shell, but I was really struggling to get it to work with an external monitor connected to my laptop as a second display :(
[19:17] <marshmn> it doesn't seem to handle the fact that they are significantly different resolutions very well :(
[19:17] <marshmn> Unity seems to be much better at that
[19:17] <marshmn> perhaps also at handling high DPI displays in general?
[19:18] <marshmn> the way that Gnome Shell handles its virtual desktops is so great though... I'm really going to miss that...
[19:19] <marshmn> love that Gnome Shell creates virtual desktops dynamically as I need them
[19:19] <marshmn> Unity could learn from that
[19:24] <popey> marshmn: do you play go?
[19:29] <marshmn> yes
[19:29] <marshmn> I'm officially 4 Kyu
[19:31] <popey> thought I recognised the name. haven't seen you for years :)
[19:32] <marshmn> I've been around
[19:32] <marshmn> here and there
[19:32] <marshmn> now and then
[19:32] <popey> heh
[19:33] <marshmn> I was hoping that you were going to say that you'd taken up Go :(
[19:33] <popey> never tried
[19:33] <marshmn> https://online-go.com/
[20:50] <zmoylan-pi> this is what will happen after a brexit... seagull tikka masala... http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-36490552
