[09:42] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L68nlTMVExw
[09:42] <davmor2> diddledan: there's a nice one for you :)
[09:43] <diddledan> lol
[10:29] <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
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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
[10:35] <diddledan> rain all year indeed!
[10:35] <diddledan> who would put-up with that without filing a protest to the church?!
[10:36] <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"
[10:37] <davmor2> diddledan: that's not rain that the tears of the people who long for the Sun
[10:37] <diddledan> lol
[10:38] <zmoylan-pi> you don't miss what you never had :-)
[10:40] <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
[10:41] <diddledan> :-)
[10:44] <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... :-)
[10:46] <diddledan> lol. I like that
[10:56] <zmoylan-pi> nice the telescope has an entry in h2g2... https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A87835477
[11:24] <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/
[11:27] <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...
[11:28] <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?
[11:32] <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
[11:33] <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
[11:34] <diddledan> I don't like really loud
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <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::
[11:37] <zmoylan-pi> then again... at least they had a headphone jack :-)
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <foobarry> to get extra instruments and vocals
[11:52] <foobarry> really weird how certain freuqencies disappear
[11:52] <foobarry> when the wire is dodgy
[11:53] <zmoylan-pi> get in ear headphones... she won't want to share :-)
[11:55] <foobarry> there are
[11:56] <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
[11:59] <zmoylan-pi> sounds like she'd be an ideal user for bt
[12:11] <diddledan> how about a pair of those apple wireless ones? :-p
[12:11]  * diddledan drops the mic and wanders-off to get cake
[12:13] <diddledan> mr kipling, you do make exceedingly good cakes
[12:34] <daftykins> biggest BSOD i think i have seen, in a shopping mall in Houston - TX: http://i.imgur.com/lGr3ys3.jpg
[12:36] <zmoylan-pi> everything is bigger in texas
[12:38] <daftykins> i received the tool to open this old duck today \o/ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w1ys15didhssdi2/AACQyG1buPxdGbs_AQvUmhgZa?dl=0
[12:39] <daftykins> i've just ordered a capacitor set for £4.50 which should hopefully fix that up
[12:42] <zmoylan-pi> and leave it were some kids are baffled as to why they can't access snapchat? :-)
[12:42] <daftykins> ;)
[14:12] <diddledan> http://news.softpedia.com/news/hacker-steals-58-million-user-records-from-data-storage-provider-509190.shtml
[14:13] <diddledan> just got an alert that I'm included in the leaked data. I have no idea who this company is
[14:31] <Seeker> diddledan: I'd guess something to do with car insurance
[14:31] <Seeker> because of the "vehicle data"
[14:31] <diddledan> nope, don't got a car
[14:32] <davmor2> diddledan: house insurance
[14:44] <diddledan> davmor2: don't got a house :-p

[14:44] <davmor2> if it store insurance it could be any type so household, buildings, gadgets, car bike and so on
[14:45] <davmor2> diddledan: not to mention health and life :)
[14:45] <diddledan> don't got a life!
[14:45] <diddledan> where do we find these lives to live?
[14:48] <davmor2> diddledan: hey there are people who have freetime I thought it was all a big myth
[18:52] <ali1234> what is the correct way to monitor rtnetlink?
[19:57] <Laney> INJUSTICE IN GBBO
[23:46] <diddledan> wonder what these globals are about.. a hidden hub being rebooted sounds nefarious :-p
