[00:14] <daftykins> finally cutting the labels off these danger mouse t-shirts XD my mum must be getting forgetful, she bought a second one...
[00:21]  * zmoylan-pi reports daftykins for removing those do not remove tags...
[00:38] <daftykins> you can prove nothing!
[00:51] <daftykins> need to keep scouring these shelves for more hardware i can get rid of...
[02:13] <daftykins> ooh my i'm doing that thing thousands couldn't... reducing my spare IT junk!
[02:23] <diddledan> :-o
[02:24] <diddledan> you're throwing stuff out?!
[02:26] <daftykins> even better, throwing it in a box to donate to my old College \o/
[02:26] <diddledan> what's wrong with you man!?!
[02:28] <daftykins> i am in the pursuit of tidy
[02:29] <diddledan> pfft
[02:39] <daftykins> and minimalism
[02:39] <diddledan> you'd better not start eating nouveau cuisine
[03:03] <daftykins> sounds like an edible open sauce graphics driver
[03:05] <diddledan> it's about as filling
[03:13] <daftykins> yay progress \o/
[03:13] <daftykins> the cat is so excited about the new spaces that have become available for snooping
[03:24] <diddledan> :-)
[07:08] <diplo> Morning all
[08:20] <davmor2> got this stuck in my head this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPcyTyilmYY
[08:23] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:54] <TwistedLucidity> davmor2: Now there's a blast from the past
[08:54] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: I know right
[08:55] <TwistedLucidity> Next you'll be posting "Jesus Jones" tunes or something. :-P
[08:55] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:02] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: pfff I was thinking Vivaldi and really go old school
[09:05] <TwistedLucidity> davmor2: Vivaldi? The whippersnapper. This is old school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQY5u5tmfHg
[09:07] <TwistedLucidity> Hah, there's a challenge. Who can find a stream of the oldest composed music?
[09:20] <diplo> Jesus Jones are from my home town, they came back and played at school whilst I was still there
[09:26] <TwistedLucidity> I ended up at an after party with Garbage once, that was a bit surreal.
[10:06] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: Falling in a skip after leaving a night club is not an after party with garbage ;)
[10:07]  * TwistedLucidity slow claps
[10:24] <Gargoyle> Anyone got any tips for getting nvidia drivers in a macbook pro working better?
[10:25] <Gargoyle> Specifically, I have an external thunderbolt display. When I am using that, the internal display is useless.
[12:38] <knightwise> good moring
[13:23] <diddledan> allo allo
[13:39] <zmoylan-pi> i was just pissing by...

[16:49] <daftykins> lol
[16:49] <daftykins> davmor2: shh :P
[17:05] <diddledan> awesome! just stabbed myself in the finger \o/
[17:06] <diddledan> I rock!
[17:06] <Seeker> diddledan: how'd you do that?
[17:06] <diddledan> easily
[17:07] <diddledan> :-p
[17:07] <daftykins> must be that mac of his
[17:07] <daftykins> ;)
[17:08] <diddledan> opening ancient cellophane wrapping some of my DVDs that I never got around to watching and am now ripping to my plex
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <diddledan> you kill far too many
[17:11] <daftykins> disk - and it's dead already! bad sectors!
[17:12] <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"
[17:13] <daftykins> precisely!
[17:13] <diddledan> annoying that some of these DVDs are double-sided rubbish
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <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
[17:20] <daftykins> does it not then have them as separate titles within the matroska o0
[17:20] <daftykins> or are you appending
[17:21] <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!
[17:22] <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
[17:28] <davmor2> daftykins: :(

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

[18:25] <daftykins> much better
[18:27] <zmoylan-pi> the fan still looks a bit dirty...
[18:31] <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...
[18:36] <daftykins> heh
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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
[18:43] <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
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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.
[18:48] <zmoylan-pi> in one case they didn't use varnish and the block rotted within 2 years
[18:52] <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'
[18:53] <daftykins> does greatly irritate that only emergencies make them see sense, but when it gets to emergency status whose problem does it become...
[18:54] <zmoylan-pi> it needs all those extra zeros on the bill for their brain to take notice
[18:56] <daftykins> :D
[18:57] <zmoylan-pi> ...problem... /yeah-yeah/ ...thousand quid /wait-what?/
[18:58] <daftykins> seems the ol' rule of local companies being dishonest sadly continues then, given this one works fine with a spare disk thrown in now too
