[10:31] the cool kids have no idea what a reference book is anymore [10:32] really? I thought geekery would never be out of vogue [10:32] or was it never *in* vogue in the first place? [10:32] if it's not online it doesn't exist [10:32] I really must read rule34 [10:33] go to any physical book shop and look at their reference section... [10:33] haha, *physical* book shop! [10:33] the last one of those went years ago :-p [10:34] diddledan: to be honest you'd just say 42 and be done people would be on the floor at that point ;) [10:34] still a fair few around dublin but the second hand book shops i preferred are almost gone [10:34] oh, well dublin is a bit backasswards [10:35] rain all year indeed! [10:35] who would put-up with that without filing a protest to the church?! [10:36] dublin is only city to have 3 folk who won noble prizes for literature born there... [10:36] "we, the undersigned, politely request that the church consider the reinstatement of sunlight during the summer months" [10:37] diddledan: that's not rain that the tears of the people who long for the Sun [10:37] lol [10:38] you don't miss what you never had :-) [10:40] 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] :-) [10:44] 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] lol. I like that [10:56] nice the telescope has an entry in h2g2... https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A87835477 [11:24] ::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] thats nothing compared to fixing xorg.conf back in the day [11:27] or the time i just spent taping my headphone jack to my pc to make it work [11:27] back in the days you could make a vga monitor explode... [11:28] http://imgur.com/a/FJe4d [11:28] needed that to hear vocals [11:28] shape of the case stopped the jack been plugged in properly? [11:32] headphone cables always break internally for me [11:32] means I can wiggle it and the sound will come and go as I do so [11:33] 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] zmoylan-pi: most people use them too loud [11:34] I don't like really loud [11:35] i prefer high quality sound over loud [11:35] I prefer sound at a nice normal human level [11:35] so i use isolating/noise cancelling headphones [11:35] 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] 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] then again... at least they had a headphone jack :-) [11:51] my wife broke the earphone cable through wear and tear [11:51] so it neeed pressure at a certain point on the jack connector [11:52] to get extra instruments and vocals [11:52] really weird how certain freuqencies disappear [11:52] when the wire is dodgy [11:53] get in ear headphones... she won't want to share :-) [11:55] there are [11:56] they are her ones i replaced them like a loving husband [11:56] but was sure they could be used if taped down [11:59] sounds like she'd be an ideal user for bt [12:11] how about a pair of those apple wireless ones? :-p [12:11] * diddledan drops the mic and wanders-off to get cake [12:13] mr kipling, you do make exceedingly good cakes [12:34] biggest BSOD i think i have seen, in a shopping mall in Houston - TX: http://i.imgur.com/lGr3ys3.jpg [12:36] everything is bigger in texas [12:38] i received the tool to open this old duck today \o/ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w1ys15didhssdi2/AACQyG1buPxdGbs_AQvUmhgZa?dl=0 [12:39] i've just ordered a capacitor set for £4.50 which should hopefully fix that up [12:42] and leave it were some kids are baffled as to why they can't access snapchat? :-) [12:42] ;) [14:12] http://news.softpedia.com/news/hacker-steals-58-million-user-records-from-data-storage-provider-509190.shtml [14:13] just got an alert that I'm included in the leaked data. I have no idea who this company is [14:31] diddledan: I'd guess something to do with car insurance [14:31] because of the "vehicle data" [14:31] nope, don't got a car [14:32] diddledan: house insurance [14:44] davmor2: don't got a house :-p [14:44] [14:44] if it store insurance it could be any type so household, buildings, gadgets, car bike and so on [14:45] diddledan: not to mention health and life :) [14:45] don't got a life!
