[00:54] magnum icecream ftw [00:58] :D [00:58] have they shrunk yet? [00:59] I wouldn't know [01:01] hehe [01:01] i just murdered my last M&S chocolate eclair [01:02] \o/ [01:02] lurve those things [01:02] diddledan: what excitement awaits you this week? [01:02] erm.. moar gentoo [01:02] woohoo! [01:02] you're cunningly dragging that one out ;) [01:03] lol [01:03] yeah .. keeps the money rolling for a bit [01:04] even as streamlined as I've got it now it still takes several hours to do all the systems [01:05] before I started on them they were unmaintainable - unable to install anything due to the outdated nature of their software stack being beyond the point-of-no-return [01:06] *nod* are they all old physical boxen, too? [01:06] yeah [01:06] or rather these are just the VMs left - the 8 physical servers have been upgraded to ubuntu [01:07] the vms were shuffled around on top of those physical servers to get them all buntified [01:09] *nod* [01:09] was gonna say, surely you'd just build new then move everything left on the old hosts [05:04] hi [07:28] hello all [07:52] morning boys and girls. [07:52] morning [07:53] morning [07:57] :) [08:12] Morning all [08:25] morning davmor2 :) [08:26] MooDoo: me owld mucka, working from the Caravan today, why, cause I can \o/ [08:35] davmor2: sweet mate, where are you? [09:05] Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy US Independence Day! 😃 [09:06] or as it's called in the uk... happy traitors day... :-P [09:11] quit [09:11] oops :) [09:11] never saw kirk as a quitter... :-P [09:23] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mc-NYPHaQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoLywiaM6PA [09:24] zmoylan-pi: waste of Tea day I think you'll find we call it [09:24] but cheap inferior tea sent to americans... not proper tea... :-) [09:25] zmoylan-pi: shhhh don't tell them that we were charging them top whack [09:26] mostly tax to keep king george in underpants [09:27] zmoylan-pi: nothing new there then === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ === diplo_ is now known as diplo [13:53] apple and spotify are having a fistycuff fight: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/07/01/apple-spotify-app-rejection-half-truths-rumors/ [13:55] more a hissy fit. spotify is playing in apples garden and doesn't like the rules v apple now competes directly with spotify so can strangle them when they want [14:01] at some point government/courts will have to make a decision [14:02] aye. if it gets that far. [14:02] apple taking a cut of every transaction on their platform does seem a little much [14:07] oops: https://twitter.com/bdsams/status/749967172382916608 [14:08] 1 down, a few million to go... :-P [14:09] mind i do have a bad history with watches getting broken [14:11] my nuband has lasted 2 months now so i'm a little proud of that... :) [14:15] I scratched my Moto360 last week getting stuff from the garage, grazed it against a brick wall. Not end of the world but annoying still :-( [14:15] i wear long sleeves so at least it's behind at least one layer of protection [14:16] i did see android watches for sale in a euro store for €20 last week. i'm morbidly curious as to how bad they are... :-) [14:17] cheap ones undoubtedly are bad [14:18] then again i saw my first digital watch when i was in school around 1980 when a rich kid got one and 2-3 years later they were for sale for ir£5 everywhere [14:20] I love mine. It's a great piece of kit. [14:22] if it broke completely would you rush to replace it? [14:22] it's kinda the ultimate test. [14:22] quite possibly [14:23] I'd say about 80% probability [14:23] it's a high number but it isn't 100%... :-) [14:24] there's lots of stuff going in my life at the moment, and it's a lot of money to consider at this point when things are still shifting [14:25] true, but it's the level of sacrifice that we would put towards replacing, repairing something that describes our commitment to it i think [14:25] well. [14:25] we're slow movers, it's over a month since dsample cracked the screen on his Nexus 5 [14:26] wow, Chris Evans stepping down from Top Gear. [14:27] wow [14:28] that doesn't surprise me [14:28] might be the police investigation more than the ratings [14:28] I guess the rumors of trouble were right then [14:28] Police investigation? [14:28] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/04/chris-evans-to-leave-top-gear-after-police-launch-sexual-assault/ [14:28] oh dear [14:30] http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/top-gear-matt-leblanc-vows-to-quit-unless-chris-evans-is-sacked-rory-reid-eddie-jordan-labour-crisis-a7105186.html [14:30] and that too [14:32] gotta love that the media is full with sexual assault stories right now [14:34] I was just looking at Facebook memories few moments ago [14:34] diddledan: it's to take the edge of the politics [14:34] year ago I was waiting for Rolf Harris sentencing to happen [14:35] with regards to sexual assult, I think of this: https://youtu.be/ccw_lcEb0Mc?t=156 [14:37] the line is very blurry between innuendo, harrassment, and assult [14:37] different people have different tolerences for innuendo where one person finds it fun another will consider it bordering on harrassment [14:38] of course then you get the bumholes who go full assault who we all must despise universally [14:39] it’s unfortunately very difficult to prove harrassment :-( [14:47] in other news, kitties are cute: https://twitter.com/emrgencykittens/status/749977434880110592 === MooDoo is now known as Guest12881 [15:43] diddledan: ah har, the cheese defense [15:43] :-) [15:45] apparently the chap i did an iPad digitiser swap for is saying it's misbehaving a lot, perhaps the parts are too cheap after all! bit of a pain though [15:46] or apple checks for replaced non standard hardware and acts the goat to /encourage/ expensive trips to their repair locations /paranoia <_< [15:47] wasn't there an update a while back that bricked a few phones that had fingerprint sensor repaired? [15:50] well that was sensationalised by the 'press' as always, anyone dumb enough to do a screen swap and not transfer the original home button (sensor) was going to get burnt [15:51] it stands to reason for security purposes that such a sensor would be tied to the mainboard via serial number or so [15:51] i think i just got too cheap parts really, the digitiser i got was £20... there's one for £27 claiming to be 'original' on ebay there [15:52] most are now saying £12 XD http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=ipad+air+black+digitiser&_sacat=0 [17:20] [17:23] I was thinking exactly the same thing [17:23] another annoying habit :P [17:24] what, thinking? [17:24] nah the blank intros [17:24] aah [17:24] yeah [17:38] yay for Q2 end, invoice o'clock is here [17:46] daftykins: You spend to long on irc to be working, so can't see how you can ivoice anybody :) [17:47] skillful multi-tasking, sir [17:47] I don't think any of us can throw that around :) [17:47] XD [17:48] popey: daftykins: :) [17:48] and to think of all those from #ubuntu in need of help that starve now i'm no longer around ;) [19:05] if you have amazon prime, can you buy an add-on item by itself and get free postage? [19:14] no, you need to still buy the 20quid worth of stuf [20:01] i thought prime allowed shipping with any amount of £ [20:01] :( [20:04] so thats why 25 pack of cdr addon is less than half price of the 50 pack [20:46] "As long as the minimum order threshold of £20 of qualifying items is met, Amazon Prime members enjoy their regular delivery benefits on Add-on Items. " [20:52] add-on items are so-called and under special rules because of the cost of picking, not the cost of postage [20:56] yeah. I got a box of tea today as an addon [20:57] tea... not from a proper tea shop... is that allowed in britain?! :-) [21:02] special non-caffeine organic herbal blend [21:02] tisane, I suppose === james is now known as Guest86203 [21:44] as handy as it is, i think there's a certain responsibility to not be getting all the kinds of items that the packing will build up from [21:44] bit horrified seeing a client buy batteries off amazon the other day, given they have a corner ship 2 door down [21:44] *doors [21:57] but corner shop would charge more [21:58] nah [21:58] maybe in tax land [22:09] just been shown this (not safe for kids who havne’t learned swearing yet) https://www.foaas.com [22:17] heh my dad still uses a mildly educated phone, but he has some pictures my mum wants to post on facebook (groan) - she asked if he could MMS them to me, then me email them to her... [22:17] i pointed out the quality of them isn't even worth it XD [22:18] why can’t he just mms them direct to your mum? [22:18] even so you’re right the quality will be shocking [22:28] diddledan: well when he sends them to me i get a text from my telco with a site link and passwords to retrieve them, maybe her device is misconfigured [22:28] don't honestly know [22:29] MMS is a tech that we can al move on without though :D [22:31] daftykins: I've taken into the habit of doing a wish list in Amazon, taking all non-consumables on it and do a search on eBay, and buy from there instead [22:32] wouldn't that be even more likelihood of individual shipments packaged? [22:32] even made a spreadsheet on what maximum bids are still sustainable in comparison to eBay [22:32] daftykins: I buy only used, not new [22:33] so it's already preloved and at least the manufacturing process doesn't add to the carbon footprint [22:33] i was more thinking the shipping packaging etc [22:34] maybe, a lot of the sellers use recycled boxes tho [22:35] even my dumbphone can send pics via email [22:36] though i usually send them via bt to a tablet or laptop [22:37] i think i have a ftp client on it somewhere too... [22:39] ;) [22:39] think my dad is quite happy to be away from the computers once he leaves the office nowadays [22:51] doesn't MMS cost like ten million quid per message?> [22:51] might as well [22:59] i think i received about 3 mms in all the time i've had a mobile phone, 1 when my brother sent a pic of his 2nd son, 1 when a norwegian mate had his first kid and 1 of a traffic jam last year. [23:05] XD [23:05] bet the last was great [23:21] it was from a mate who is always late explaining that for once her lateness was someone elses fault :-)
