Happy Monday, and happy Poinsettia Day! 😃 [09:37] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCyXyIa6UPs [09:41] popey: is it bad? [09:42] US version of anything is usually terrible IMO [09:43] dunno yet [09:43] seen mixed reviews [09:45] had a bad cold for 9 days. back at work because thought that i should probably go, but feeling crap [09:46] wondering if there are non antibiotic remedies for curing sinus infections [09:48] Pretty much everything we have, even vitamin supplements where they do add value, are prophylactic rather than remedial [09:50] Once you've caught a cold, you're mostly stuck with the thing [09:51] book lots of meetings with all your least favourite work colleagues [09:58] i thought most cold viruses pass in aroudn 5 days [09:58] i'm up to day 9 atm [10:08] morning peeps [10:26] foobarry: it can last a couple of weeks. I had a cold recently which knocked me out for a full 14 days [10:26] SuperMatt: did you receover by itself? [10:26] rearrange the words to make a setence [10:26] ugh [10:30] yeah, I did [10:30] doctor signed me off [10:31] my doctor's surgery doesn't like seeing people [10:31] what a crappy surgery then [10:31] totally [10:31] 2 week wait or same day. but same day is hard to get and they claim all slots are taken [10:46] aloha === czajkows1i is now known as czajkowski [10:47] hey czajkowski [10:47] anyone else on Version 53.0.2785.143 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.10 (64-bit) [10:48] who when they go to amazon.co.uk get a your connection is not private issue? [10:48] Laney: howdy doody! [10:49] is it https://sslmate.com/blog/post/ct_redaction_in_chrome_53 ? [10:49] Laney: ahhh yes! [10:50] czajkowski: should be on chrome 55 now [10:50] popey: I use chromium as my default browser and chrome for work stuff [10:51] so no issue on Chrome but not working on Chromium [10:51] which is also the up to date version. [10:51] Laney: Thank you, thought I was going insane [10:52] ah [10:52] i use chrome for everything, just have multiple 'users' or profiles in it [10:55] popey: aye may hjave to look at doing that, just like to keep work and non work stuff seperate for fear wrong stuff gone out on the wrong account :) [10:55] yup, me too [10:55] and also chromium is my shopping amazon account [10:55] chrome is my work amazon account [10:55] having them as separate profiles (I have about 16 profiles) [10:55] nods will look at that [10:55] works well. I just close the 'work' one on the weekend. [10:56] just need to remember to change profiles [10:56] well, no, you keep them both open [10:56] ah [10:56] you just close the work one in the evening/weekend just like you do now [10:58] ah I see [10:58] if you click links in other apps, it opens the link in the last browser window you were in, and doing something. Which works well usually. [10:58] Cheers :) [10:58] np [10:59] did think it was odd the error on the likes of an amazon page last night but was too tired to do much digging [11:01] i stopped using chromium a few weeks ago because i couldn't get to amazon anymore [11:02] ging: ah it literally stopped last night as was on it yesterday before I went out and no issues [11:02] because of some stupid spat between google and symantec [11:02] ging: the link Laney posted explains it more [11:03] i missed that, but i suspect it's the same issue or related to it [11:03] ging: https://sslmate.com/blog/post/ct_redaction_in_chrome_53 [11:04] yeah it is the same, i thought it was fixed [11:06] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1641380 [11:06] Launchpad bug 1641380 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "chromium-browser: ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED for Symantec certs" [Critical,Fix released] [11:30] well .. that was fun [11:30] just got screamed at during a clients meeting (again) ... [11:30] :S [11:30] 4 meetings with the same guy, 4 times the same scenario ... [11:31] Slamming doors , walking out of the meeting, coming back etc . [11:31] always takes some time to shake it off afterwards. [11:34] petulant child [11:35] very [11:35] anyone of you played with Solus OS yet ? [11:36] very briefly [11:37] gonna give it a try on the xps13 , see how it rolls [11:37] seems like mostly hype [11:37] and predictions for the future [11:37] foobarry: basically its ubuntu with a differnt skin ? [11:37] and too much instability regarding strategy i.e. package manager, rewrite everything in C, etc [11:38] no, the budgie remix is, but solus is a different distro by itself [11:39] hmmm... so you would go with budgie ? [11:41] depend what u wnat? [11:43] it felt a bit like linux mint to me. cinnamon-esque [11:44] solus itself changes constantly and i don't see a clear strategy coming from them [12:03] Morning all [12:03] Anyone use email to fax services online ? [12:04] I use budgie on mydesktop knightwise - Prefer it so far and has been more stable [12:31] installed budgie , looks kinda pretty , its indeed a little cinamon [12:35] knightwise: staple gun him to meeting table when he walks in so he can't storm off ;) [14:33] https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/346998236776640513 [14:43] oh dear i just did one of those static IP sets on a friends Windows 10 box, as they released a patch that broke DHCP with BT routers [14:43] what a blunder :D [14:44] talktalk are asking me dto factory reset my router in order to do a firmware update "we can't see your router" [14:45] heh TR-069 failure [14:46] can you just ask them what is the current version instead? and compare it against what the web UI reports... [14:46] i'm definitely old. i wanted the new version [14:46] its a newly supplied router though [14:46] factory reset will reset my wifi SSID config though :( [14:47] oh no, you'll have to change 3 whole parameters max per band! :) [14:47] might have a backup feature :) [14:48] well it means i can't ask the missis to do it [14:48] or she will have no wifi [14:50] ah you tried to call up from work [15:00] are CPAN modules user specific? [16:03] ugh, the great white north isn't so great today. !@#$ing snow [16:05] :( [16:05] We've had 10cm overnight, and more is on the way. [16:06] Means I will be digging the car out twice today [16:08] However, I have found I can now consider myself a pro at snow driving [16:08] Today, I became a real Canadian! :D [16:08] did you avert disaster? [16:08] lol, not quite [16:09] Coming home by car, I have a parking space in the back street. The back street is never cleared of snow. [16:09] But turning into the backstreet, car gets stuck in the snow [16:10] I sit there for a moment, turn off the traction control, put it into reverse and started [16:10] 'rocking' the car [16:10] boom, I'm out. Put the car into low range, get enough momentum and voila! Not stuck and rolled happily to my parking space [16:10] TIL about TCS [16:11] Forgot the car had it [16:11] that sounds pretty standard to me and i don't even drive, nor hold a license ;) [16:11] lol [16:11] ah i've spotted that one in a racing game of all things :> always turn all the 'assists' off [16:11] It's the first time I got stuck in the snow with the car [16:11] So I passed the Canadian test [16:12] \o/ [16:12] *but* did you apologise to the car and the snow in the process? [16:12] that's the real test ;) [16:12] Of course [16:12] hurrah! [16:12] It'll be rude not to say sorry [16:13] Since we're in Quebekistan, you have to say désolé. [16:13] ugh :P [17:07] * diddledan minces [17:07] minces pies [17:07] * diddledan minces all over town [17:07] morning all [17:10] * daftykins watches diddledan approach with his peculiar gait [17:10] hi \o [17:10] o/ [17:11] my mate is passing jobs onto me again, i asked what has suddenly happened in December for this to begin, he said it always happens but only now has he got the head scratchers [17:11] so i can only imagine what poor people are suffering from his handiwork :) [19:25] IT problems? [19:26] daftykins: just charge double that the norm for xmas season right? [19:30] yeah wonky laptops and desktops etc [19:32] just solved his mother in laws, but it needed a desperate upgrade anyway [19:32] OS installed to a WD Green? ugh. [19:38] on good spinning metal like ibm intended... well spinning metal... well metal... :-P [19:39] SSD on the way along with RAM for the second slot (of 2) to enable dual-channel and go up to 8GB anywho \o/
