JamesTaitdavmor2, nice song that one.09:38
davmor2JamesTait: well initially I was thinking of Bob cause it's getting close to that time of year. But then remember the lyric giving it all away, for some reason I thought it was Rod Stewart but then it was the year I was born so I have a small excuse for not remembering it perfectly ;)09:40

* SebthreeBQM10HD smacks popey around with the rest of the community team ;d15:36
SebthreeBQM10HDdiddledan  I thought you were just  well some guy who hanged out here for example, but I guess that's not quite the case then ;d15:37

popeyI think I only ever owned one Sony laptop. Ridiculously priced tiny netbook thing before netbooks were a thing15:53
foobarrythat moment when you spend ages getting soemthing working and then you get the message Ignoring gpu device (device: 1, name: Tesla C2070, pci bus id: 0000:0d:00.0) with Cuda compute capability 2.0. The minimum required Cuda capability is 3.015:53

popeythat thing, but not that model, the one before it15:54
