MooDoodiplo: ah so you're playing pokemon go ;)07:16
diploNo!!!!!!07:17
diploGod no even!07:17
diploWhen I'm on my walks, the amount of people who just stop randomly and flick their screens, pretty sure they're all playing....07:18
diploGood on them I guess for getting out, but the random stop starts is getting quite annoying07:18
daftykins*Tux no ;)07:19
daftykinsyeah, it's only a matter of time i reckon before someone stops in their car and nobbles a cyclist07:20
diploI was out drinking last night, some guy swooped to a stop as we were wandering down a busy road, picked his phone ( i thought for a phone call ) no, my mate says he heard the distinctive noise of how you catch these things ( I've not played so don't know ! )07:25
diploBut I mean he stopped fairly stupidly, for a bloomin game!07:26
daftykinssuch was the thrill of the chase07:28

diploAnyone else being affected by bt issues today ?09:31
TwistedLuciditydiplo: Just had an alert come through from work, BT are having issues nation wide. Affects those leasing BT lines too (i.e. everyone who isn't on Virgin)09:55
daftykinsoof!09:55
* zmoylan-pi licks finger, holds it in the air to judge conditions and predicts bt will blame the heat... :-)09:56
diploFunny thing was ( this affected half our customers ) was that their lines were still up10:00
diploJust the ipsec vpn's were failing to connect10:00
diploWould love to know why10:01
davmor2diplo: just cause, that's why :)10:02
TwistedLuciditydiplo: Yup, seems to be taking out VPNs10:03
zmoylan-pithe movie industry strikes back...10:04

diploYeah, not really sure.. not sure how well BT talk about their major outages10:16
daftykinsannoyed me when my local ISP and our major telco decided they would no longer maintain a status page10:29
daftykinsthey didn't seem to realise how many calls they'd spare themselves10:30
zmoylan-pibut the guy who monitored the web page can answer calls AND do stuff when he's not answering calls...10:31
daftykins:)10:31

daftykinsit's really been around that long?10:36
daftykinswe don't have a starbucks :)10:36
diploI don't go to either either10:38
diploUnless with someone who wants to, can't understand how people spend so much on coffee!!!!10:38
daftykinsfor me, it's that they have a branch 20m from my front door10:38
diplobut you have coffee in your house ?10:38
daftykinswake up of a weekend and have nothing in the house? panino and coffee it is!10:39
daftykinsnot the same thing.10:39
diplohah10:39
zmoylan-pipeople spending as much money on coffee per day as do for mobile phone service for 2-3 months... Oo10:39
daftykinsthese are the downsides of living on the capital's high street10:39
daftykinsoh i can certainly say i was never as insane as to go daily... once or twice a week was my limit :)10:40
daftykinsalso, it's all about the carrot cake10:49
diplohehe, the cake is stupidly dear too11:03
daftykinsdoes make you wonder what the entire thing pulls in, profit wise11:03

diddledan_looks like BT's issues were due to power problems at telecity in docklands12:38
diddledan_http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-3684471212:39
DJonesThats what they say,  I blame everybody trying to do their hair with staighteners and hairdryers so they don't go crinkly in the heat12:39
DJonesThats using all the power12:40
DJonesBT Openreach are pretty useless anyway, been waiting almost 10 days for them to come and fix a fault on our voice line, excuse is there's too many faults and not enough staff.....  Erm.. Isn't that part of the infrastucture planning12:41
MooDoohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-3684471212:42
zmoylan-piall those selfish people wanting to breath running air con...12:55
zmoylan-pithey might have been looking up what a voice line is... :-P12:59
DJonesYou'd think they'd know, its what spam callers use to send junk messages13:00
DJonesSurely they pay BT to not be banned and prosecuted for ignoring TPS preferences13:00
zmoylan-piif they knew what those were they'd have to do something about it13:00
DJonesAs in backhanders13:01
zmoylan-pione way they get paid, the other they have more work and less paying13:01
