| diddledan | you'd better not start eating nouveau cuisine | 02:39 |

| davmor2 | got this stuck in my head this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPcyTyilmYY | 08:20 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Now there's a blast from the past | 08:54 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: I know right | 08:54 |
| TwistedLucidity | Next you'll be posting "Jesus Jones" tunes or something. :-P | 08:55 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:55 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: pfff I was thinking Vivaldi and really go old school | 09:02 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Vivaldi? The whippersnapper. This is old school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQY5u5tmfHg | 09:05 |
| TwistedLucidity | Hah, there's a challenge. Who can find a stream of the oldest composed music? | 09:07 |
| diplo | Jesus Jones are from my home town, they came back and played at school whilst I was still there | 09:20 |
| TwistedLucidity | I ended up at an after party with Garbage once, that was a bit surreal. | 09:26 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: Falling in a skip after leaving a night club is not an after party with garbage ;) | 10:06 |
| * TwistedLucidity slow claps | 10:07 | |
| Gargoyle | Anyone got any tips for getting nvidia drivers in a macbook pro working better? | 10:24 |
| Gargoyle | Specifically, I have an external thunderbolt display. When I am using that, the internal display is useless. | 10:25 |

| daftykins | lol | 16:49 |
| daftykins | davmor2: shh :P | 16:49 |
| diddledan | awesome! just stabbed myself in the finger \o/ | 17:05 |
| diddledan | I rock! | 17:06 |
| Seeker | diddledan: how'd you do that? | 17:06 |
| diddledan | easily | 17:06 |
| diddledan | :-p | 17:07 |
| daftykins | must be that mac of his | 17:07 |
| daftykins | ;) | 17:07 |
| diddledan | opening ancient cellophane wrapping some of my DVDs that I never got around to watching and am now ripping to my plex | 17:08 |
| diddledan | I'm about half-way through my collection | 17:10 |
| daftykins | mercy me, i just got brought two laptops - one was taken to a local computer shop and labelled as dead, so they took data off and put it on an external drive - i just fired it up first time and sure the disk has 48 bad sectors, but the machine works | 17:10 |
| diddledan | daftykins: don't you dare kill that disc, too | 17:10 |
| diddledan | you kill far too many | 17:11 |
| daftykins | disk - and it's dead already! bad sectors! | 17:11 |
| diddledan | mark them as bad in the filesystem and ignore it :-p | 17:12 |
| daftykins | that's pants on head crazy | 17:12 |
| diddledan | and pencils up nose uttering "wibble" | 17:12 |
| daftykins | precisely! | 17:13 |
| diddledan | annoying that some of these DVDs are double-sided rubbish | 17:13 |
| daftykins | flippable or? | 17:14 |
| diddledan | yup | 17:14 |
| diddledan | just ripping a two-sided goodfellas disc which has half the movie on each side | 17:14 |
| daftykins | oof | 17:15 |
| diddledan | lukily mkvtoolnix can merge the two sides together | 17:15 |
| diddledan | I rip each side with makemkv and use mkvtoolnix to merge the two sides' mkv files into one | 17:15 |
| daftykins | does it not then have them as separate titles within the matroska o0 | 17:20 |
| daftykins | or are you appending | 17:20 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: you can cat them together for crying out loud ;) | 17:21 |
| daftykins | davmor2: if that was another stab at humour you've really lost me this time! | 17:21 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: cat film1.mkv film2.mkv > film3.mkv | 17:22 |
| davmor2 | it's what cat does :D | 17:22 |
| daftykins | pretty sure you can't | 17:22 |

| zmoylan-pi | we just need a zombie alan turing and we have the starting point of a great movie... | 17:50 |
| diddledan | the imitation game.. and zombies? | 17:51 |
| diddledan | like "pride and prejudice and zombies"? | 17:52 |
| daftykins | hrmm seems http://uk.crucial.com/ died just as i went to price a cheap SSD | 17:54 |
| diddledan | haha | 17:56 |
| diddledan | the magic touch extends to complete websites, now? | 17:56 |
| daftykins | diddledan: shh :P | 18:00 |

| daftykins | much better | 18:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | the fan still looks a bit dirty... | 18:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | i always worry about removing dirt from a system when my boss who was lengendariy careless took an ancient cpm computer to garage to use their car vaccuum to clean a 20year old motherboard and for some strange reason it didn't work when it got back... | 18:31 |
| daftykins | heh | 18:36 |
| daftykins | it's not dirty in the 'after' shot. | 18:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | seems he had done it 'loads of times before' and none of them had ever died before | 18:37 |
| daftykins | a client down a steel company told me they'd tried to clean out a noisy fan in a PC with an 'airline' whatever that is | 18:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | high pressure air hose | 18:38 |
| daftykins | not much good for dead bearings | 18:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | which in a steel company would be used to power equipment | 18:39 |
| daftykins | funny, the Medion thing i was brought has a security screw on the underside panel | 18:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | but often condenses moisture on sensitive electronics | 18:39 |
| daftykins | mmm i mentioned not being keen | 18:43 |
| daftykins | especially after seeing the target PC, the main company owners... being sat on the dusty workshop floor with the side panel off | 18:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | you wonder when you see the state of some pcs that come in... the ones that are all rusted as it's on a floor mopped every night and the water somehow hasn't fried it yet.. | 18:46 |
| daftykins | oh they never clean there! XD | 18:46 |
| daftykins | 3 years i've been trying to get them to build shelves for the PCs, or even buy litter trays to put them in | 18:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | the one from a location with about an inch of mud on the floor... | 18:46 |
| daftykins | nothing ever gets done | 18:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | for those we got a plank of wood. and sawed it into blocks the length of the pc and screwed those blocks together to make a 3" platform. varnish that and the the pc is off the ground. | 18:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | in one case they didn't use varnish and the block rotted within 2 years | 18:48 |
| daftykins | heh | 18:52 |
| daftykins | impressive | 18:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | 'do we really need to replace the block?' 'not unless you want your pc to dissolve' | 18:52 |
| daftykins | does greatly irritate that only emergencies make them see sense, but when it gets to emergency status whose problem does it become... | 18:53 |
| === marshmn_ is now known as marshmn | ||
| zmoylan-pi | it needs all those extra zeros on the bill for their brain to take notice | 18:54 |

| zmoylan-pi | ...problem... /yeah-yeah/ ...thousand quid /wait-what?/ | 18:57 |
