[16:37] <SuperEngineer> did I just hear a pin drop?
[16:38] <SuperEngineer> [strange how the imagination plays tricks in the silence]
[16:47] <daftykins> :>
[21:50] <daftykins> silly old plasmas giving me trouble today, no picture at all from two devices over cables that are in a wall at my clients
[23:30] <zmoylan-pi> break out the multimeter and test the cables?
[23:30] <daftykins> well one worked with another TV
[23:35] <zmoylan-pi> i once had a network cable buried under a car park fail and then spent a merry 6 hours testing the 15 others that were unlabeled to try and find one that worked.  delays included needing to set/unset alarms.  get keys off busy keyholders/return keys immediately before i left one premises and climb some of the most claustrophobic stairs
[23:36] <daftykins> o0
[23:37] <zmoylan-pi> put in by builders who thought co-ax cable laid on gravel with hot tarmacadam poured over it would last with cars, buses and trucks driving over it
[23:38] <daftykins> >_<
[23:39] <zmoylan-pi> in their defence it did last a few years. unused... and only failed 1 day after they started using it
[23:39] <daftykins> :D
[23:39] <daftykins> i do get annoyed at the way things are done at this clients place
[23:40] <daftykins> his amp is about 6 feet to the left hand side of the TV, so if you imagine a __-------_____| kind of corner but upside down (raised bit being the TV)
[23:40] <zmoylan-pi> using cables someone else has laid often annoys
[23:40] <daftykins> nobody thought to put the cables in a pipe so it's a real pig to add
[23:41] <daftykins> ended up stealing one from one of the source devices which are under the TV
[23:41] <zmoylan-pi> making it someone elses problem... proper... :-)
[23:41] <daftykins> so they're one down until one gets put through in the new year!
[23:41] <daftykins> ah nah we'll do it, just not for the Christmas period
[23:42] <daftykins> the lad's playstation was what we sacrificed, he can just put a device into the front of the amp instead
[23:45] <daftykins> (it's not even there right now)
[23:45] <daftykins> i've a feeling he'll be keen to see it on the OLED though :)
[23:45] <daftykins> even though it's a relic at this point
[23:46]  * zmoylan-pi was gaming today.  proper d&d and as it was our christmas session i made some game themed christmas crackers which i'm now realising i never took any pics off....
[23:46] <daftykins> d'awww!
[23:47] <zmoylan-pi> you sit down and try and think up 6 terrible d&d related christmas cracker jokes... :-)
[23:57] <daftykins> i've never tried!
