[07:49] <daftykins> mornin'
[07:50] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[07:50] <daftykins> cor, well if this goes to plan i'm going to venture north for a change... i've booked to see The Cranberries in Glasgow
[07:51] <zmoylan-pi> have you packed you english - scottish phrasebook? :-P
[07:52] <daftykins> hahaha
[07:52] <daftykins> i'm still recovering from discovering that whilst our postcodes begin 'GY' theirs appear to be 'G' or 'GI'
[07:54] <zmoylan-pi> https://www.wildernessscotland.com/blog/essential-pocket-phrasebook-scottish-vocabulary/
[07:55] <daftykins> heh i know a few o' those
[08:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:15] <SuperEngineer> o/
[08:40] <foobarry> are there any good wikis out there that support markdown?
[08:41] <foobarry> (as the main wiki language format or has native support)
[08:45] <foobarry> wikis don't seem to be getting much love nowadays. lots of stale projects out there
[08:48] <SuperMatt> Wikis are *really* easy to write
[08:48] <SuperMatt> you could have one written in python/flask in an afternoon, with full markdown support
[08:55] <foobarry> enterprise ones with privileges and security are harder
[09:03] <zmoylan-pi> 2-3 here mention markdown... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software
[09:09] <zmoylan-pi> but it does seem that as wikis have stagnated markdown came along later and is not been implemented in them much
[11:54] <SuperMatt> quiet here today
[11:54] <zmoylan-pi> IS THIS BETTER? :-P
[11:54] <SuperMatt> MUCH
[11:54] <zmoylan-pi> OK
[11:54] <popey> GREAT!
[11:55] <daftykins> someone in another chan said it's so quiet they thought it was Sunday
[11:56] <brobostigon> it is a sunny day, maybe everyone has bunked off work and is in the pub already? lol.
[11:56] <daftykins> :>
[11:56] <zmoylan-pi> it's a monday... people are getting through a weekends worth of idiot emails...
[11:56] <daftykins> noon day cannon went off over on the castle here today, might even have been the first day of the season for it!
[11:57] <popey> BOOOOOOOOOOM!
[11:57] <daftykins> :D punctuated by fog horn today, too
[11:58] <zmoylan-pi> hmmmm, does your lifeboat service their use maroons?
[11:58] <zmoylan-pi> they do here and even 2 miles away i can hear them go off...
[12:07] <SuperEngineer> I think most lifeboat stations still use maroons... beats shit out of mobile phones with flat batteries!
[12:08] <zmoylan-pi> i have seen pagers still in use around dublin so they could use those... months of battery from a single aa...
[12:08] <daftykins> my bad, i wasn't sure what that meant and had swanned off to another channel
[12:10] <SuperEngineer> ...& you only get a flash in the sky from a bang bang.... unless you own a samsung of course ;-)
[12:10] <zmoylan-pi> hmmm, thought they would be in use more... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroon_(rocket)
[12:12] <SuperEngineer> daftykins: re "noon day cannon went off": I didn't realise you lived in Gibralta!
[12:12] <daftykins> :> nah just Guernsey
[12:12] <SuperEngineer> ;-)
[12:12] <daftykins> the Queen gets honoured across a good row of cannons too, when the events occur
[12:15] <zmoylan-pi> a lot of cannons dotted around... i pass 2 on walk yesterday... would have been 3 but yacht club seems to have moved their small starting gun
[12:15]  * SuperEngineer is glad is a "good row of cannons" rather than a "naughty set of cannons"
[12:17] <daftykins> :>
[12:22] <SuperEngineer> ooo... just turned firm's tablet on for 1st time in 3 weeks.  It's now doing an Andriod system update....
[12:23] <daftykins> ooh-err
[12:23] <SuperEngineer> ....should have checked battery level first, I suppose...
[12:23] <SuperEngineer> ...could even walk over to the socket and plug it in to charger...
[12:24] <SuperEngineer> but decided on the "fun" option instead! [a.k.a couldn't give a s**t]
[12:26] <daftykins> not one sooty and not one sweep!
[12:26] <SuperEngineer> BOSS: "what d'yu mean the tablet failed during an upgrade and now you can't it on?!"
[12:26] <SuperEngineer> ME: "cba"
[12:27] <zmoylan-pi> the entire office can now gather around and start betting on the outcome of the update... put me down for a fiver on bricks the device :-P
[12:27] <daftykins> ooh bold call
[12:27] <SuperEngineer> I accept your £5 with gratitude
[12:28] <SuperEngineer> [would it help to know I'm signed off work sick?
[12:28] <zmoylan-pi> phew, by the time you collect that will be less than €5 :-P
[12:28] <SuperEngineer> like I said... cba
[12:28] <daftykins> such disdain for office equipment ;_;
[12:29]  * zmoylan-pi takes daftykins red stapler...
[12:29] <SuperEngineer> yup. my bad, me bad
[12:29] <daftykins> uh that'th my red thtapler, thank you...
[12:30] <SuperEngineer> daftykins: quick, grab the selotape and secure it!
[12:30]  * daftykins stretches a couple of metres around zmoylan-pi and the nearest lamp post
[12:31] <SuperEngineer> DAMN! firm's tablet update got to the "optimising aps" stage [or as I call it, "aptimising ops"]
[12:38] <SuperEngineer> zmoylan-pi: you now owe me that fiver. I'll use it for my "couldn't even brick it when trying to brick it" consolation prize ;-)
[12:38] <zmoylan-pi> send an address in pm...
[12:39] <SuperEngineer> grrrrrrr
[12:39] <zmoylan-pi> is that grrrrr road or drive? :-P

[15:51] <diddledan> daftykins: noon cannon boom combined with horn .. isn't that the "michael bay" sound?
[15:52] <diddledan> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4itJv_DXhI <-- the michael bay sound
[20:08] <m0nkey_> Right, so PornHub is hiring in my city. Product Manager, PHP dev and front-end/js dev. I should totally apply for it.
