| SuperMatt | morning | 07:32 |
| TwistedLucidity | o/ | 07:35 |
| MooDoo | morning all | 07:38 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 07:45 |
| SuperMatt | what's new? | 07:48 |
| MooDoo | not a lot, been playing about with game recording on my laptop. | 07:57 |
| SuperMatt | I've never understood people that spend mroe time watching other people play games than playing themselves | 07:57 |
| SuperMatt | although it's not different to watching football matches | 07:58 |
| === xnox_ is now known as xnox | ||
| TwistedLucidity | SuperMatt: I totally get it. I don't have time to play games, but I have 5-10mins to watch someone's edited video of them playing. | 08:01 |
| SuperMatt | makes sense, I guess | 08:02 |
| TwistedLucidity | Escpecially when said watching is in the background of whatever it is I'm doing. | 08:02 |
| MooDoo | I just like to play the odd game now and again, if someone else can get enjoyment from watching how bad I am, then fair does lol | 08:04 |
| SuperMatt | Only game I've considered worthwhile playing recently is Doom | 08:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | even in the 80s people would gather around the arcade machine of someone doing very well in some game or other | 08:07 |
| MooDoo | SuperMatt: I'm a bit limited with the games I play at the moment, laptop isn't that good :) | 08:07 |
| SuperMatt | But that's if someone was doing well. A lot of the stuff being uploaded is not that | 08:07 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:08 |
| MooDoo | morning davmor2 | 08:08 |
| SuperMatt | Of course, if you have limited time, OpenTTD is where it's at. | 08:14 |
| MooDoo | wow blast from the past there SuperMatt | 08:23 |
| SuperMatt | hardly, a new version was released only this month | 08:25 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: from the abondedwares get dune and run it in dosbox, it's like an early command and conquer | 08:27 |
| SuperMatt | c&c was awesome | 08:27 |
| SuperMatt | They don't make 'em like that any more | 08:27 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: nice :) | 08:37 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Mon^WTuesday, and happy World Heritage Day! 😃 | 08:59 |
| MooDoo | morning JamesTait | 09:01 |
| JamesTait | 👋 MooDoo | 09:01 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib-Qiyklq-Q got to be this :D | 09:15 |
| acheronUK | uh oh... election | 10:40 |
| SuperMatt | Maybe JamesTait can tell us what day June 8th would be | 10:41 |
| JamesTait | Election day, of course. 😉 | 10:41 |
| JamesTait | Jerky Day. Upsy Daisy Day. World Oceans Day. | 10:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | d-day +2 day | 10:42 |
| JamesTait | Best Friends Day. | 10:42 |
| SuperMatt | Upsy Daisy Day will be the correct one | 10:43 |
| JamesTait | Name Your Poison Day. | 10:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | and not 'oh no, not again day' | 10:43 |
| JamesTait | Plus what zmoylan-pi said. | 10:43 |
| JamesTait | Jam Doughnut Day. | 10:45 |
| JamesTait | (It actually says Jelly-filled Donut, but we know what they mean) | 10:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | that would discriminate against diabetics unless you provide bagels as a safer option... | 10:46 |
| TwistedLucidity | Diabetic jam is a thing, but is falls through the hole in the bagel. | 10:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | probably for the best if it's anything like diabetic chocolate... | 10:48 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait, acheronUK, zmoylan-pi: don't worry guys I'll have you covered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBMLG57sro | 10:48 |
| TwistedLucidity | zmoylan-pi: Thorton's does good stuff apparently. G/F's mother buys loads of it when she's over to take home. | 10:49 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: although this might be more appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY | 10:54 |
| JamesTait | Heh. ☺ | 10:55 |
| acheronUK | davmor2: must had read my mind! immediately thought of that R.E.M. track | 11:07 |
| arsen | h i see | 11:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | pfft. floppy disk problems... :-) http://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/tumblr_oohx87Hr2R1vnq1cro1_400.gif | 11:30 |
| SuperMatt | lawls | 11:30 |
| diddledan | haha | 11:35 |
| diddledan | that's awesome | 11:35 |
| diddledan | what system is it though? | 11:35 |
| diddledan | it's very bulky | 11:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | i suspect it's a /laptop/ on a shuttle | 11:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | probably a ruggedised one at that for extra brickiness factor | 11:36 |

| Azelphur | Random question: Don't suppose anyone knows any suitcases that meet wizz airs requirments, I can find bags, but not suitcases. | 12:22 |

| lopta | Ah poop. I can't even test Ubuntu on my 32-bit test rig. | 20:50 |
| daftykins | oh? | 20:51 |
| daftykins | honestly there's no point pursuing 32-bit kit | 20:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | murmur murmur murmur... | 20:53 |
| daftykins | ? :) | 20:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | I SAID RHUBARB RHUBARB RHUBARB :-P | 20:54 |
| lopta | I don't for production use but this was more of a convenience thing. | 20:54 |
| lopta | ...and out of interest. | 20:54 |
| lopta | Eventually I got an error message about not having PAE and CX8 on the CPU. | 20:54 |
| lopta | ...so that'd do it. | 20:55 |
| daftykins | yeah i mentioned hitting the PAE wall t'other day, not sure if you were about by then though | 20:55 |
| daftykins | honestly i dump way better kit, so single core 32-bit just nooooo :> | 20:55 |
| lopta | These are expendable, so I keep them around. | 20:57 |
| * zmoylan-pi pats my trusty 286 and tells it to ignore the nasty man... :-) | 20:57 | |
| lopta | If I have need of an OS/2 1.x test rig I might keep an AT around. ;-) | 20:57 |
| lopta | Thankfully I don't. | 20:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | i kept the 286 around for 5.25" and also programming dongles and uploading firmware/logos to receipt printers... and configuring touchscreens | 20:58 |
| lopta | 5.25" 1200K? ;-) | 20:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | 1.2mb... oodles of space... | 20:59 |
| lopta | Not quite 1.2M | 20:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | well you can overformat them... | 20:59 |
| daftykins | cor :P | 21:12 |
| daftykins | squeeze out a couple more KB? ;) | 21:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | just 2-3 of those babies to store a music mp3... :-) | 21:12 |
| daftykins | haha and here's me getting some vinyl rip FLAC that has ~80MB single tracks | 21:13 |
| daftykins | alrighty, bed time \o | 21:13 |
| lopta | ...and there I thought my 128M Smartmedia card was small! ;-) | 21:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | that 286 was shipped with a 40mb hard drive which dos 3.3 partitioned as 32mb + 8mb | 21:13 |
| lopta | Goodnight daftykins | 21:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | thank goodness for dr-dos that allowed it to be 40mb... | 21:14 |
| lopta | :-) | 21:14 |
| lopta | More of a CP/M-86 man, myself. | 21:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | we settled on dr-dos as we wanted the builtin networking... i wanted the russian dos they used on satellites... | 21:15 |
| lopta | DR-DOS did inherit some nice features from DOSPLUS and (via that) CP/M-86 | 21:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | and the wireframe network space shooty game... | 21:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | very handy for testing network speed :-) | 21:19 |
| lopta | I don't remember that. | 21:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | netwars... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp1RrCy4w4 | 21:24 |
| lopta | Oh well. Time to fetch the children | 21:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 21:28 |
