[00:09] <isleofman_dan> I've settled on a medium length SSID and password, and have just finished reconfiguring all my IoT things to connect again. Off to bed now. Thanks to all for input. I won't do anything about a bug report, as it only seems to be me with the problem!
[00:14] <diddledan> still very strange that you're getting problems anyway
[00:15] <diddledan> something is wonky and it feels bad not to find out what the problem is and only work around it in your case
[00:19] <isleofman_dan> Yeah. Maybe someone else will run it the issue. If not, it'll be the Manx fairies to blame!
[00:19] <isleofman_dan> goodnight
[03:01] <mappps> hi
[06:44] <MooDoo> howdy all
[08:03] <popey> Good morning
[08:03] <MooDoo> howdy popey
[08:31] <knightwise> mornign
[08:31] <knightwise> Plz type slowly when talking to popey .. he apparently has bad wifi
[08:36] <TwistedLucidity> O
[08:36] <TwistedLucidity> K
[08:38] <davmor2> popey: morning and welcome back
[08:38] <popey> I do?
[08:39] <davmor2> popey: well it's that or it is your head from the sprint last week ;)
[08:39] <davmor2> and then a weekend with AQ
[08:40] <popey> the bad wifi was in the hotel in heidelberg 😛
[08:51] <TwistedLucidity> What always impressed (terrified?) me in HD were the flood levels marked on the sides of the buildings by the river.
[08:52] <TwistedLucidity> Also really cool to see an actual working river is the various barges toing and front (often with the family car lashed on the back)
[08:52] <TwistedLucidity> s/front/froing
[09:08] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:50] <daftykins> gm \o
[10:50] <daftykins> barely.
[10:51] <zmoylan-pi> good or morning? :-P
[11:03] <daftykins> time'll tell :>
[11:03] <daftykins> penguin42: afty \o
[11:03]  * penguin42 yaawwwnns at the end of a long weekend
[11:04] <daftykins> that good eh?
[11:04]  * zmoylan-pi pushes mugs of tea and aldi knockoff penguin bars towards daftykins n penguin42 
[11:04] <daftykins> yay :D
[11:04]  * penguin42 grabs an unpenguin bar
[11:04] <penguin42> daftykins: Well a 4 day weekend is a good thing; not got much done though
[11:05] <daftykins> :) that's the whole point i'd imagine!
[11:05] <zmoylan-pi> so a good weekend then :-)
[11:05] <daftykins> i received my new Startech special slimline optical to USB 3.0 enclosure today, so i was just then robbing the bluray drive from my old HTPC and popping it in
[11:06] <diddledan> daftykins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg_ghkwt5cs
[11:07] <daftykins> :D i always wanted to know what the guards said in the next bit
[11:11] <zmoylan-pi> i managed to take a pic of the €20 'smart' watch... https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/757155580305895424/photo/1
[11:20] <daftykins> WOW indeed
[11:20] <daftykins> looks like a right Fitbit clone
[11:21] <zmoylan-pi> a near disposable fitbit...
[11:23] <daftykins> actually the strap on a clients actual one died the other day, i took it apart for fun but nope - you can't change the strap at all on the - Charge HR i think it was
[11:23] <daftykins> though phoning in, they sent another one for free
[11:24] <zmoylan-pi> i suspect from reading the reviews and comments in various chat rooms that wearables are been killed by users at high rates
[11:25] <diddledan> wearables need to be durable because people are careless about what they do with their arms
[11:26] <zmoylan-pi> i went through a fair few watches in 80s as i treated it as armour for holding open doors that were closing etc.
[11:26] <diddledan> and you wonder why we only give you nokia phones
[11:27] <zmoylan-pi> lost one throwing a punch. strap just died on impact...
[11:28] <daftykins> my my
[11:28] <zmoylan-pi> only nokia make moylan proof phones...  nokia nokia that is, not ms nokia...
[11:30] <diddledan> rumors yesterday were accurate: http://marissamayr.tumblr.com/post/147941613134/verizon-to-acquire-yahoos-operating-business
[11:30] <zmoylan-pi> 5beeelion dollarsss... ::holds pinkie to mouth::
[11:31] <zmoylan-pi> 1 billion goes to mozilla seemingly
[11:31] <DJones> For Y!A!H!O!O! ? Wow, do people still use that
[11:31] <zmoylan-pi> the oil trading industry uses yahoo messenger almost exclusively
[11:31] <DJones> In other news, owner of isohunt settles a lawsuit for $50M
[11:31] <zmoylan-pi> their email has been doing well recently
[11:32] <DJones> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36883179?ocid=socialflow_twitter
[11:32] <zmoylan-pi> tumblr is growing... even if it is a _lot_ of porn
[11:32] <daftykins> ooh amazon tell me my pi3 has dispatched
[11:32]  * daftykins is soon to be known as daftykins-pi
[11:32] <daftykins> ;)
[11:33] <DJones> Heh, I read somewhere that the biggest piracy/porn search engine now is bing.com
[11:33] <daftykins> Bing! and the law is broken
[11:33] <DJones> Nice to MS's  stand against piracy is working
[11:33] <daftykins> since when did they have one?
[11:33] <zmoylan-pi> pat the postman dispatched or al pacino dispatched? :-)
[11:34] <zmoylan-pi> it's ok when they steal from someone, it's not ok to steal from ms
[11:34] <DJones> Perhaps not in general terms, but thinking of all the anti piracy stuff included in Windows
[11:34] <DJones> Region encoding for dvd's etc
[11:35] <zmoylan-pi> region encoding for dvds as horrible as it is, is not ms's fault
[11:35] <daftykins> DJones: i'm horrified that you think that's Microsoft, that's in drive firmware!
[11:35] <daftykins> it's no wonder you open source folk have such bias when you make things up like this
[11:35] <zmoylan-pi> ms media player... not _THATS_ ms's fault... :-)
[11:36] <zmoylan-pi> *now
[11:36] <diddledan> lol
[11:36] <DJones> Years ago I had a cd reader/writer that was blocked by Windows, rather than the firmware on the device, worked fine with Slackware for anything, just wouldn't work with windows
[11:36] <daftykins> well that's heavily anecdotal
[11:37] <DJones> Maybe that was just that the opensource community had a workround for a hardware block
[11:37] <daftykins> sounds more like misconfigured Windows to me
[11:37] <DJones> That wasn't incororated in Windows
[11:37] <diddledan> I believe decss bypasses the firmware by reading it as data
[11:38] <diddledan> I might be making that up on the spot though :-p\
[11:39] <daftykins> i would expect any drive interaction has to go via firmware
[11:40] <zmoylan-pi> that _might_ be ms doing all the reading by the book whereas linux has had to make it up as they went along
[11:40] <DJones> I'm not anti-windows, it does some things better than linux (regardless of distro) so I use maybe 1 day  week, I just prefer Linux via Ubuntu which meets 90% ofmy needs without monetary cost,  no matter what, people use the best or easiest tool available to them
[11:40] <DJones> I like powerpoint & publisher, they are easy to use and work well for what I need to do with them
[11:40] <daftykins> just cost in time :D
[11:41] <diddledan> DJones: except dicky stallman whose morals are too staunch to sacrifice freedom in favour of ease
[11:41] <diddledan> I admire him for his tanacity
[11:41] <DJones> diddledan: Well, respect to him for making the choice, no arguments there
[11:41] <diddledan> exactly!
[11:42] <DJones> Outside of those two apps, there's nothing I can't do on Ubuntu/Linux
[11:42] <diddledan> blurry on linux is still a pain
[11:42] <diddledan> :-(
[11:42] <DJones> Even then I could find alternatives, but when I'm sharing files with pure windows users its easier just to stick with the,
[11:42] <daftykins> nah, install makemkv... symlink a couple of libs and hey presto Kodi can play movies direct from disc
[11:43] <diddledan> I worry about what makemkv does in it's binary blob though
[11:43] <popey> \o/ contractor arrived, has a thinkpad. opening discussion about thinkpads
[11:43] <diddledan> popey: yey!
[11:43] <popey> I guessed x220t, was x230t, close
[11:43] <daftykins> i'm actually dumping a Sopranos episode from this bluray drive over USB 3.0 with makemkv right now
[11:43] <zmoylan-pi> play conkers with your thinkpads to show their superiority :-D
[11:43] <popey> should have looked at the keyboard better
[11:44] <popey> last time I had a chat with a stranger about his thinkpad was on a plane, and he turned out to be one of the designers of the BBC Micro
[11:44] <DJones> daftykins: Was kodi the follow on form xmbc? I think so, I used to use that and found it worked with everything, don't need it now with a smart tv though
[11:44] <popey> chatted to him for hours.
[11:44] <popey> Thinkpads are great ice breakers
[11:44] <DJones> s/form/from.
[11:44] <zmoylan-pi> it's the geek equivalence of a pet dog.  a conversation starter...
[11:44] <daftykins> DJones: yeah the new name after some software company asked them to change
[11:44] <DJones> daftykins: Ta
[11:44] <daftykins> been using it for my HTPC on the TV since the original xbox days :)
[11:45] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/s/oykiclnuauo12js/IMG_20160531_233053.jpg?dl=0
[11:45] <daftykins> dug it out the other day and it still runs!
[11:45] <diddledan> :-o
[11:45] <DJones> Nice,I think I reformatted mine
[11:46] <daftykins> 2.0x bluray so 8.5MB/sec is the max i'm getting off my old HTPC's bluray drive :(
[11:46] <popey> I've managed to get to 2016 and not have any blueray devices
[11:46] <daftykins> 30 mins to pull off a 13.6GB episode :)
[11:47] <daftykins> mmm i'd not own one either if it didn't just come with my HTPC, but i ran Kodi from Linux so i never used it either
[11:47] <zmoylan-pi> i watch most of my movies on screens smaller than 10" blu ray is a waste of capacity to me
[11:47] <daftykins> never assumed they'd get it working
[11:47] <daftykins> 10" ? wat
[11:47] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: did you just stop wanting any tech around one day? :)
[11:48] <zmoylan-pi> i don't have a tv, i just use tablets and netbooks and phones for watching movies
[11:48] <daftykins> that's horrible :(
[11:48] <zmoylan-pi> i have bad eysight so big screens far away are of no use to me, a small screen close by is grand
[11:48] <daftykins> you just pull up a chair :D
[11:48] <popey> i found the hudl2 perfect size for watching 1080 at a few inches away
[11:49] <popey> watched loads on that
[11:49] <daftykins> i quite like having decent sound :P
[11:49] <popey> headphones ftw
[11:49] <daftykins> dear Tux no :P
[11:49] <zmoylan-pi> as long as i can read the subtitles on seven samurai any screen size is acceptable... just right now that means a tablet usually
[11:49] <popey> hard to get a full dolby digital setup on a plane
[11:50] <daftykins> we weren't talking about flights i thought
[11:50] <daftykins> if you keep changing the use case it surprisingly changes the constraints too
[11:50] <zmoylan-pi> now if blu ray was more easily accessed for storing data i'd love the 20+gb of storage they allow for archives
[11:51] <penguin42> popey: They could always mount 85" LCDs along the wings and turn the window seats around
[11:51] <zmoylan-pi> i'd have to open a window and wing walk to watch... :-P
[11:52] <daftykins> i was on a flight the other day where nobody was allowed peanuts because a 'hyper allergic' was onboard o0
[11:53] <daftykins> seems those baseball stadiums in the US have special suites for those folk too, to spare them from the slightest whiff of peanut exposure
[11:53] <zmoylan-pi> so you had to use your emergency stash of snickers to feed your peanut habit...
[11:54] <MooDoo> :)
[11:54] <penguin42> daftykins: It must be really difficult in the US - they put peanuts in everything
[11:54] <diddledan> they even put peanuts in butter!!
[11:54] <diddledan> :-p
[11:54] <daftykins> :D
[11:54] <DJones> nuts....Disgusting things, just bits of wood...might as well chew on a chair leg, its the same material :)
[11:55] <DJones> Unless its coconut of course
[11:55] <diddledan> eww
[11:55] <diddledan> hate coconut
[11:55]  * zmoylan-pi loves a bounty bar once in a while
[11:55] <zmoylan-pi> the dark chocolate version
[11:55] <DJones> Something I've never liked nuts apart from salted peanuts when in a pub (as long as they're not in a bowl on the bar)
[11:55]  * penguin42 now has a terrible vision of zmoylan-pi in a grass skirt
[11:55] <daftykins> ugh not dark :P my parents would always ruin chocolate stashes with that preference!
[11:56] <penguin42> daftykins: Send the dark chocolate this way
[11:56] <daftykins> mmm salted peanuts, dry roasted and cashews \o/
[11:57] <diddledan> I believe this is needed at this juncture (mildly unsafe for kids) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnNYXgV7L-c
[11:58] <daftykins> diddledan: i suppose that's still on the topic of nuts...
[11:58] <diddledan> well there's chocolate and nuts so I figured it followed
[11:58] <zmoylan-pi> back when chef was part of southpark...
[11:58] <diddledan> s/nuts/salt/
[11:59] <daftykins> back when they were insulting everything except his own beliefs :)
[11:59] <diddledan> I've not seen southpark since the movie
[11:59] <diddledan> I blame canada
[12:00] <zmoylan-pi> haven't seen it since my last tv died in 2008
[12:00] <DJones> Never watched it, something I didn't like
[12:00] <penguin42> can watch it in small doses
[12:00] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: get an hdhomerun and you can watch tv on your 10inch thingies
[12:00] <daftykins> they've become highly topical, there's some very good stuff in there if you can skip past the toiler humour rubbish
[12:01] <zmoylan-pi> there are some good bits, some inspired brilliant bits but a lot of annoying bits
[12:01] <zmoylan-pi> paging david_ll_ fix your connection
[12:01] <daftykins> it's ok, i even emailed the guy now
[12:01] <daftykins> must be away or something :)
[12:02] <daftykins> if only we had active ops that could set a temporary ban until it's resolved...
[12:03] <DJones> Not much in lastlog, just one read error and one client quit
[12:04] <diddledan> some idiot outside has loud gangsta noises (can't call it music) playing
[12:04] <zmoylan-pi> warm weather has idiot drivers driving around with windows open...
[12:04] <DJones> I saw a lot of connection failures over the weekend though
[12:05] <DJones> zmoylan-pi: I saw a picture on a local police twitter account that had a "home made convertible", the owner had just cut the roof off
[12:05] <daftykins> well that guy has been dropping all weekend
[12:05] <zmoylan-pi> i saw a mini pickup over the weekend...
[12:06] <zmoylan-pi> not often you see a car with less cabin space than a smart car...
[12:08] <daftykins> wow crucial seem to have some 80s synth as their hold music
[12:08] <diddledan> \o/
[12:08] <diddledan> synth ftw
[12:08] <zmoylan-pi> less cool is that it's ben there sinc the 80s... :-)
[12:08] <DJones> I think the link was this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnzzbCXWYAEOCMA.jpg
[12:08] <daftykins> XD
[12:09] <diddledan> I like that the police had stopped them
[12:11] <zmoylan-pi> apologies for dm link... compared to this wreck... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3698135/On-way-MOT-Footage-shows-completely-destroyed-car-DRIVEN-roads-Pakistan.html
[12:11] <daftykins> nice tortoise
[12:12] <zmoylan-pi> the terminator car, positively absolutely will not stop...
[12:12] <diddledan> damn
[12:13] <diddledan> "qmail is not an MTA. it's a set of building blocks to make your own. so it's kinda like netBSD"
[12:14] <zmoylan-pi> some assembly required
[12:18] <DJones> Like Lego or Mecano then
[12:18] <zmoylan-pi> more like dna... :-P
[12:18] <zmoylan-pi> with no picture on the box to help...
[12:18] <DJones> zmoylan-pi: That car is wrecked
[12:19] <zmoylan-pi> i wonder if it would pass any countries mot...
[12:20] <DJones> Its got a wheel at each corner (even if it is triangular)
[12:21] <zmoylan-pi> it does make you curious as to what happened to it that crushed it so much but left it running
[12:21] <diddledan> it looks like it was lifted by a chain
[12:27] <DJones> This was on the NW Motorway police twitter feed the other day https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CngiEYsXgAAZYXW.jpg drink driver over twice the legal limit, drove on the motorway with his vehicle like this..
[12:28] <DJones> Looks 100% roadworthy compared to the car in zmoylan-pi's link
[12:29] <daftykins> :S
[12:29] <daftykins> can only imagine they must've crashed and then kept going
[12:30] <DJones> Either that or the tyre blew & kept going
[12:31] <daftykins> the poor road :)
[12:31] <zmoylan-pi> and the debris left behind to be thrown up by following cars
[13:27] <foobarry> restricted mode on youtube is ridiculous
[13:28] <penguin42> what's that?
[13:28] <foobarry> i want to disable smutty thumbnail suggestions from coming up after i've watcha  video
[13:28] <foobarry> its a safe mode
[13:28] <foobarry> but its a blunt mallety
[13:28] <foobarry> it turns off comments and the most benign videos, such as lara croft locks the butler in the freezer
[13:29] <foobarry> they need a better filter than that
[13:29] <foobarry> and there's a big difference betwewen seeing comments and unrelated pornographic still shots
[13:30] <daftykins> those thumbs are becoming all too common, youtube is a real mess for sure
[13:33] <penguin42> yeh
[13:44] <diddledan> dang: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/nyregion/l-train-will-shut-down-from-manhattan-to-brooklyn-in-2019-for-18-months.html
[13:44] <diddledan> that's a long closure
[13:45] <zmoylan-pi> they found a leaf on the line? :-P
[13:46] <DJones> wonder how it'll affect uk workers....Oh, not at all
[13:46] <zmoylan-pi> well depends how bad brexit is by then and which british companies end up in manhattan... :-P
[13:46] <daftykins> closer to 'home', i hear southwest trains have gotten quite rough?
[13:46] <popey> southern, maybe?
[13:46] <popey> swt are okay
[13:47] <popey> also, free wifi
[13:47] <daftykins> oh right, didn't think there was a distinction
[13:47] <daftykins> i always train about when on the 'mainland' :)
[13:47] <popey> southern go kinda south out of victoria, and southwest go kinda south-west out of waterloo
[13:47] <popey> (mostly)
[13:47] <daftykins> ah yeah
[13:48] <popey> I went on both at the weekend as part of my "tour of nuclear power stations" trip
[13:48] <zmoylan-pi> saw carriages over the weekend with compartments... didn't know we had any in ireland...
[13:48] <daftykins> o0 what prompted that? :)
[13:48] <diddledan> I'm on the waterloo/salisbury line
[13:48] <popey> I was on a train in Germany on Thursday. Chatting to a friend. Some german bloke walked past. Stopped, and said "popey?"
[13:48] <davmor2> northwest is euston
[13:48] <popey> Turns out he's a listener, user of Ubuntu and ubuntu phone owner
[13:49] <diddledan> although I think basingstoke also serves the solent region so winchester, southampton etc.
[13:49] <daftykins> XD
[13:49] <penguin42> popey: haha
[13:49] <popey> daftykins: friend of mine organised a trip
[13:49] <davmor2> popey: you're infamous
[13:49] <DJones> What is the conference that has happened in Liverpool around august over the last few years
[13:49] <popey> oggcamp?
[13:49] <daftykins> soon they'll be asking for autographs
[13:49] <DJones> popey: Thanks, thats it
[13:49] <popey> hah
[13:49] <popey> he pinged me on telegram afterwards and said "should have taken a selfie"
[13:50] <davmor2> popey: it's the Lionel Blair cut
[13:50] <diddledan> popey: wait till people call you mycroft :-p
[13:50] <popey> hahah
[13:50] <penguin42> davmor2: I thought it was Elvis?
[13:50] <davmor2> penguin42: it's okay it's only an advert
[13:50] <zmoylan-pi> soon they'll be wanting popey to put his autograph on parts of their body so they can get it tattooed later... ::me knows the people:: :-P
[13:50] <DJones> If oggcamp happens in 2017, people from down south should be aware that there'll be a new bridge over the mersey open at runcorn that will be a toll bridge
[13:51] <DJones> If it happens in Liverpool again
[13:51] <davmor2> Theres a toll theres a toll in the dungeon
[13:51] <DJones> Old Runcorn-Widnes bridge will also be tolled/closed around then
[13:52] <DJones> Which is the direct route to Liverpool from the M6
[13:52] <foobarry> das popey.
[13:52] <DJones> via M56
[13:52] <foobarry> in some corny allo allo accent i hope
[13:52] <penguin42> DJones: Convenient for those running a toll bridge
[13:52] <DJones> http://www.merseygateway.co.uk/
[13:52] <zmoylan-pi> the trolls can meet under it
[13:53] <DJones> Causing road chaos at the moment for locals
[13:53] <popey> the trip at the weekend was to Arthur Dents house, The Red Lion (where he and Ford prefect had 6 beers), http://www.the-observatory.org/ , Dungeness, a secret underground bunker, alien trail in Rendlesham, tour of sizewell B...
[13:53] <popey> busy weekend
[13:54] <zmoylan-pi> the movie or the tv show?
[13:54] <daftykins> my my
[13:54] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: radio :-p
[13:55] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: the tv show
[13:57] <popey> zmoylan-pi: tv show
[13:57] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=16770&l=fr
[13:58] <zmoylan-pi> the tv show is all on youtube these days
[13:58] <popey> yeah
[13:59] <diddledan> davmor2: you're french?
[13:59] <diddledan> I think you'll be able to read better if you used http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=16770&l=en
[13:59] <davmor2> diddledan: no it was just the first image that showed the house from google images
[13:59] <daftykins> sacré bleu
[14:00] <diddledan> blue sugar?
[14:00] <daftykins> nope
[14:00] <diddledan> or lude sacrifice?
[14:01] <daftykins> it's sacred blue, of course
[14:01] <diddledan> nono, I think it's a naughty sacrifice (like blue-movie is a naughty movie)
[14:02] <daftykins> the waiter says it a lot whilst the two NAMBLAs are chasing the South Park boys
[14:02] <diddledan> Nambla?
[14:02] <daftykins> y'know, the North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes
[14:02] <daftykins> and the other one isn't really appropriate to repeat in here
[14:04] <popey> http://pics.imcdb.org/0is369/bscap0118jl.199.jpg that one
[14:04] <popey> https://twitter.com/popey/status/757160393169076225
[14:04] <popey> doesn't look a lot different now
[14:05] <diddledan> defenders based on daredevil and jessica jones has a good teaser trailer from comicon this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBZtM8q2Z1g
[14:06]  * daftykins makes it nice and big for zmoylan-pi - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CoH5XHaWcAAvVJ2.jpg:large
[14:06] <diddledan> daftykins: he only has 10 inches, you need to shrink it for him, surely?
[14:06] <zmoylan-pi> no plaque for the h2g2 fans?
[14:07] <popey> i couldn't see one
[14:07] <popey> didn't go too close as it's private land
[14:09] <diddledan> ergh. chrome keeps crashing on me
[14:09] <foobarry> where is the red lion?
[14:10] <daftykins> there's one just north of town here on Guernsey ;)
[14:16] <popey> foobarry: http://www.shepherdneame.co.uk/pubs/haywards-heath/red-lion
[14:16] <popey> really nice pub. had some food and not quite six beers
[14:20] <zmoylan-pi> and no peanuts to replace the salt after transport?
[14:22] <popey> i was tempted to buy some peanuts
[14:22] <popey> but went for cheesy chips instead :)
[14:26] <penguin42> the dentrasi would not be impressed
[14:28] <zmoylan-pi> probably did have to use babelfish to order from the foreign staff in pub mind... :-P
[14:29] <penguin42> the recent arrivals from Ursa-major-minor really don't understand the Southern accent that well
[14:30] <zmoylan-pi> pfft, even the babelfish is thrown by some irish accents :-P
[14:30] <popey> heh
[14:39] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: yeah but irish is like galifrayan - nobody understands it
[14:39] <daftykins> gali what?
[14:41] <diddledan> might be with an e
[14:41] <diddledan> galifrey
[14:41] <diddledan> either way
[14:41] <diddledan> daftykins: if you don't know what galifrey is then please get your coat and check your geek card in at the door :-p
[14:42] <zmoylan-pi> http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Gallifreyan
[14:42]  * daftykins gets his coat
[14:42] <diddledan> hehe
[14:42]  * penguin42 offers diddledan a jelly baby
[14:42] <daftykins> i don't watch Dr. Who
[14:42] <diddledan> :-o
[14:42]  * penguin42 hasn't for a few decades, but still
[14:42] <diddledan> heretic!
[14:42] <zmoylan-pi> and slips a sonic screwdriver into his pocket that will raise questions going through security...
[14:42] <penguin42> diddledan: It's never been any good after Tom Baker
[14:42] <diddledan> lol
[15:29] <daftykins> JamesTait: what day is it!?
[15:29] <daftykins> i just called ebay to tell 'em their system doesn't accept local mobile numbers ;)
[15:30] <daftykins> this ought to be good
[15:31] <JamesTait> daftykins, I haven't even looked yet!
[15:32] <JamesTait> Thread the Needle Day, according to several sources.  Hot Fudge Sundae Day as well.
[15:34] <diddledan> isn’t sundae day redundant usage of day?
[15:35] <daftykins> it might be a bit confusing to write sunda(e/y)
[15:35] <daftykins> that would have made more sense yesterday, too ;)
[15:38] <JamesTait> A Sunday sundae?
[15:38] <JamesTait> Or is it a sundae Sunday?
[15:45] <daftykins> i bet that diddledan would have a Sunday Sundae on a Friday!
[16:24] <daftykins> yay i'm getting my new mechanical keyboard sooner than expected \o/ go amazon!
[17:45]  * zmoylan-pi rips open a pack of after eight mints in defiance of all social norms...
[17:48] <daftykins> with zeez after eight at before 7pm you are really spoiling uzz
[17:48] <daftykins> </Ferrero Rochez parody>
[17:48] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: Yes but will the pack survive until 8 ?
[17:48] <daftykins> not if we work hard
[17:53] <diddledan> https://twitter.com/JakesTakes/status/757614580927500288
[17:53] <diddledan> you’re welcome
[17:54] <zmoylan-pi> the only animal to be born with horns...
[18:01] <DJones> zmoylan-pi: Have you seen Donald Trump's baby photo's?
[18:02] <DJones> Although, that might defeat the definition of "animal"
[18:03] <zmoylan-pi> that assumes he was born and not as suspected by many... summoned...
[18:04] <daftykins> grown or ejected
[18:05] <DJones> ejected makes him sound like waste ectoplasm from ghostbusters
[18:05] <DJones> But if the cap fits....
[18:09] <zmoylan-pi> once you cut 2 holes in it for his horns...
[19:06] <foobarry> robot wars new series was fun \o/
[19:14] <popey> yeah
[19:14] <popey> Sam hadn't heard of it, we sat and watched it together, he loved it
[19:14] <popey> meant later bed time, which may be partly why he loved it
[19:15] <zmoylan-pi> and then young dreams of making a killer robot...
[19:16] <penguin42> yeh just be careful where you leave your pi and chainsaw
[19:17] <diddledan_> just tried iplayering it and got told "This content cannot be played in our HTML5 Player"
[19:17] <penguin42> they have an HTML5 player?
[19:46] <zmoylan-pi> it looked just like what i thought it would look like coming out of the box... :-) http://motherboard.vice.com/read/watch-this-guy-turn-on-a-20000-watt-light-bulb?trk_source=popular
[19:49] <diddledan_> how many amps does it take to run 20KW?
[19:50] <zmoylan-pi> watch the vid, he has a rig for taking 100amps and outputting 90+ to the bulb
[19:51] <zmoylan-pi> he's sweating just from the light...
[19:55] <diddledan_> why does he have that huge cable in his house?!
[19:55] <zmoylan-pi> for overclocking his rasp pi for 2 nanoseconds... :-P
[19:56] <diddledan_> I wonder how many homes he's accidentally burnt-down?
[19:56] <zmoylan-pi> i wonder if his eyesight came back
[19:57] <zmoylan-pi> of course if a neighbour started playing loud music he could put that in the garden and fly a drone with mirror attached to reflect light into theirs...
[20:04] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnwc5uthcyvtq9b/Hitman-bug.flv?dl=0 - here's me finding bugs in games
[20:11] <diddledan_> o_O
[20:11] <diddledan_> teleport
[20:12] <diddledan_> and the curious case of the confused drinks glass
[20:13] <daftykins> ;]
[20:13] <daftykins> i put poison in it so completed an entire playthrough before i realised he had vanished
[20:13] <daftykins> by chance i had an autosave there so i could see what was happening
[20:21] <diddledan_> so you tried to kill a guy but he decided to just cease existence rather than be killed by you?
[20:22] <diddledan_> that's not really very sporting of him is it?
[20:24] <diddledan_> watching robot wars - the second bout was carnage
[20:49] <diddledan_> wow carbide (robot) is a thing of pure evil
[20:49] <daftykins> diddledan_: it is quite rude, though it was a sedative so he's having a very good nap in the afterlife
[23:07] <m0nkey_> Hmm.. Jimmy Carr is in Montreal this weekend
