davmor2 | diddledan: there's a nice one for you :) | 09:42 |
diddledan | lol | 09:43 |
diddledan | well this ubuntu-devel mailing list thread finally got a smile out of me by quoting HHGTTG | 10:29 |
diddledan | ref: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2016-October/017046.html | 10:29 |
diddledan | I guess the hip and cool kids refer to the guide as H2G2 these days? | 10:31 |
zmoylan-pi | the cool kids have no idea what a reference book is anymore | 10:31 |
diddledan | really? I thought geekery would never be out of vogue | 10:32 |
diddledan | or was it never *in* vogue in the first place? | 10:32 |
zmoylan-pi | if it's not online it doesn't exist | 10:32 |
diddledan | I really must read rule34 | 10:32 |
zmoylan-pi | go to any physical book shop and look at their reference section... | 10:33 |
diddledan | haha, *physical* book shop! | 10:33 |
diddledan | the last one of those went years ago :-p | 10:33 |
davmor2 | diddledan: to be honest you'd just say 42 and be done people would be on the floor at that point ;) | 10:34 |
zmoylan-pi | still a fair few around dublin but the second hand book shops i preferred are almost gone | 10:34 |
diddledan | oh, well dublin is a bit backasswards | 10:34 |
diddledan | rain all year indeed! | 10:35 |
diddledan | who would put-up with that without filing a protest to the church?! | 10:35 |
zmoylan-pi | dublin is only city to have 3 folk who won noble prizes for literature born there... | 10:36 |
diddledan | "we, the undersigned, politely request that the church consider the reinstatement of sunlight during the summer months" | 10:36 |
davmor2 | diddledan: that's not rain that the tears of the people who long for the Sun | 10:37 |
diddledan | lol | 10:37 |
zmoylan-pi | you don't miss what you never had :-) | 10:38 |
davmor2 | diddledan, zmoylan-pi: I still love Rhod Gilberts introduction of Wales of I was 11 before I realised you could take a Kagool off the bible said it rained for 40 days and 40 nights that's still the best summer I ever remember | 10:40 |
diddledan | :-) | 10:41 |
zmoylan-pi | i like that newgrange a solar temple was built in ireland as was the largest telescope in the world for quite a while at birr castle... http://birrcastle.com/telescope-astronomy/ talk about optimists... :-) | 10:44 |
diddledan | lol. I like that | 10:46 |
zmoylan-pi | nice the telescope has an entry in h2g2... https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A87835477 | 10:56 |
zmoylan-pi | ::futurama voice:: welcome to the future... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/10/12/man-spends-11-hours-trying-to-make-cup-of-tea-with-wi-fi-kettle/ | 11:24 |
foobarry | thats nothing compared to fixing xorg.conf back in the day | 11:27 |
foobarry | or the time i just spent taping my headphone jack to my pc to make it work | 11:27 |
zmoylan-pi | back in the days you could make a vga monitor explode... | 11:27 |
foobarry | http://imgur.com/a/FJe4d | 11:28 |
foobarry | needed that to hear vocals | 11:28 |
zmoylan-pi | shape of the case stopped the jack been plugged in properly? | 11:28 |
diddledan | headphone cables always break internally for me | 11:32 |
diddledan | means I can wiggle it and the sound will come and go as I do so | 11:32 |
zmoylan-pi | i can count the number of headphones that have broken on me on one hand... and usually not my fault... i wonder what the people who break so many pairs do to break them | 11:33 |
davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: most people use them too loud | 11:33 |
diddledan | I don't like really loud | 11:34 |
zmoylan-pi | i prefer high quality sound over loud | 11:35 |
diddledan | I prefer sound at a nice normal human level | 11:35 |
zmoylan-pi | so i use isolating/noise cancelling headphones | 11:35 |
davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: as for cables people pull on them if it is phone headphones by putting the phone in a pocket that stretches the cable on pcs/laptops they roll between machines and tug on the cable and the coil the cables too | 11:35 |
zmoylan-pi | has to be said, some phones have terrible head phone sockets in bad places so that if you put phone in a pocket it will put pressure on the socket ::glares at nokia e71:: | 11:36 |
zmoylan-pi | then again... at least they had a headphone jack :-) | 11:37 |
foobarry | my wife broke the earphone cable through wear and tear | 11:51 |
foobarry | so it neeed pressure at a certain point on the jack connector | 11:51 |
foobarry | to get extra instruments and vocals | 11:52 |
foobarry | really weird how certain freuqencies disappear | 11:52 |
foobarry | when the wire is dodgy | 11:52 |
zmoylan-pi | get in ear headphones... she won't want to share :-) | 11:53 |
foobarry | there are | 11:55 |
foobarry | they are her ones i replaced them like a loving husband | 11:56 |
foobarry | but was sure they could be used if taped down | 11:56 |
zmoylan-pi | sounds like she'd be an ideal user for bt | 11:59 |
diddledan | how about a pair of those apple wireless ones? :-p | 12:11 |
* diddledan drops the mic and wanders-off to get cake | 12:11 | |
diddledan | mr kipling, you do make exceedingly good cakes | 12:13 |
daftykins | biggest BSOD i think i have seen, in a shopping mall in Houston - TX: http://i.imgur.com/lGr3ys3.jpg | 12:34 |
zmoylan-pi | everything is bigger in texas | 12:36 |

daftykins | i've just ordered a capacitor set for £4.50 which should hopefully fix that up | 12:39 |
zmoylan-pi | and leave it were some kids are baffled as to why they can't access snapchat? :-) | 12:42 |
daftykins | ;) | 12:42 |
