| JamesTait | davmor2, if that's not Theresa May promising strong and stable government while the Imperial March plays in the background, you've failed me. | 08:24 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I failed I just went with the imperial march | 08:25 |
| * JamesTait sacks davmor2 | 08:25 | |

| zmoylan-pi | capturing the mood of he moment with the imperial march... | 08:27 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: I'm in QA Of course I come from the dark side | 08:28 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, OK, you're on probation. 😝 | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | woohoo! | 08:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | QA - Quite Annoying | 09:07 |

| brobostigon | :) | 10:08 |
| foobarry | haven't tried one | 10:08 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 10:08 |
| foobarry | i also notice fidget cubes are cheap | 10:08 |
| brobostigon | yep, we sell those too. | 10:08 |
| foobarry | are they any good? | 10:08 |
| brobostigon | they are fairly simple and uncomplicated, good to keep children amused. | 10:09 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: you can print one http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2007417 | 10:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | IRC is my fidget | 10:14 |
| foobarry | which is "better", cube or spinner? | 10:14 |
| brobostigon | the more popular seems to be the former. | 10:16 |
| brobostigon | i mean the latter, sorry. | 10:17 |
| brobostigon | the spinner | 10:17 |
| foobarry | plastic or metal? | 10:21 |
| brobostigon | the ones we have are a combination of both. | 10:24 |
| foobarry | ok thanks | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | the gyros are metal, but the main body of it is plastic. | 10:24 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nohQReM7BpI this is impressive :) | 10:27 |
| JamesTait | Connagh has a fidget spinner with ceramic bearings. Callum's just ordered one. | 10:33 |
| JamesTait | We had Connagh's parents' evening last week, and one of his teachers said they're quite popular now and she prefers him having that to the magnetic bearings he used to fidget with before because it's less distracting for the other kids. | 10:34 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, that is pretty good. 😉 | 10:35 |
| foobarry | JamesTait: is he ASD? | 10:36 |
| JamesTait | Not that we're aware of. | 10:37 |
| foobarry | or just finds they help for work | 10:37 |
| foobarry | my whole desk is a fidget paradise | 10:37 |
| JamesTait | It was his ASD friend who introduced him to them though. | 10:38 |
| davmor2 | Wow StarWars is 40 years old this year man now I feel old | 10:38 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, you *are* old. | 10:39 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: :P | 10:39 |
| foobarry | i went to see empire strikes back at cinema | 11:19 |
| popey | foobarry: yeah, my son has a fidget spinner, as do most of the kids in his class | 11:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | in my day we had casio game watches... :-) | 11:56 |
| Laney | they sound fun | 11:58 |
| Laney | I had a powerball a few years ago, was also good | 11:59 |
| foobarry | i have one of those | 11:59 |
| brobostigon | one of the benefits of working in a toy shop, :) | 11:59 |
| foobarry | made my hand sore though | 11:59 |
| foobarry | chafing | 11:59 |
| Laney | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69dclMb2arY | 12:03 |
| Laney | :D | 12:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | the casio game watches never caught on for some reason... :-) http://s728.photobucket.com/user/super_hectorus/media/sella.jpg.html | 12:13 |
| foobarry | "Canonical's design team wanted to improve was the design sign off process whilst increasing visibility for developers of which design was the final one among numerous iterations and inconsistent labelling of files and folders. Here is the process they developed." | 12:14 |
| foobarry | verbatim from ubuntu official facebook post. | 12:14 |
| foobarry | minus the proof reading | 12:15 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: this had issues too which was a shame cause it was a pretty awesome watch http://kennywithers.com/featured-online-marketing-articles/the-seiko-wrist-computer-1984/ | 13:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | i remember reading about that... i never saw one in the wild though... | 13:29 |
| davmor2 | had one but they got recalled so when I took mine back to the shop because it was playing up they just took it away and gave me a refund | 13:29 |
| davmor2 | part of the reason I stuck with analogue watches from then on in :D | 13:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | my boss had the timex with the built in badcode scanner that read pim info from crt screens... pity they went away... | 13:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | zmoylan-pi: Android does that via the phone's camera | 13:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | i don't let android devices near my contacts or pim info | 13:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | What's odd is, not all Android phones can generate the QR codes from a contact. Strange. | 13:34 |
| TwistedLucidity | Mine gets sent to my owncloud server. AFAIK it does not hit Google, except inadvertently | 13:35 |
