[08:45] <MooDoo> i'm in nottingham, but of a trek for me
[08:45] <diplo> How are you christel - not seen or spoke to you in forever, not seen you since Alans BBQ I don't know how many years ago :)

[08:47] <christel> diplo: i am good! oh gosh, yes, that is rather a while now! speaking of alan, has he given up on IRC? :) how are you and the boys?
[08:48] <diplo> I've not seen him in forver to be honest. Glad you're good. Boys are fine, bloody big now though! Yours must be getting on now as well?

[08:49] <christel> brobostigon: ooh you lucky thing, the cotswolds are beautiful
[08:49] <brobostigon> christel: definitly :)
[08:54] <MooDoo> i think this is the busiest i've seen the channel in a long while :)
[09:00] <diplo> And you break the spell MooDoo ! All your fault :P
[09:11] <MooDoo> lol
[09:12] <zmoylan-pi> you just have to reminise over a great old moment, like getting sound working on early linux... :-)
[09:12] <christel> hehe
[09:13] <zmoylan-pi> ....and then... after 3 weeks of solid back breaking effort.... my pc beeped at me :-D
[09:14] <MooDoo> installing slackware from floppies or freebsd from walnut creek :D
[09:15] <zmoylan-pi> 3.5 or 5.25"? :-)
[09:15] <MooDoo> hehe :)
[09:15] <MooDoo> then again i'm using the i3 window manager, that in itself has a number of challenges :)
[09:16]  * zmoylan-pi keeps it simple with tmux and console apps running like a happy hamster on my rasp pi
[09:17] <MooDoo> yeah i got sick of a gui :)
[09:18] <zmoylan-pi> green text on a black console... tis the way it was meant to be as dictated by engineers of yore... :-)
[09:18]  * MooDoo enjoys having a console music player, reminds me of the old mod amiga days :)
[09:27] <diplo> I use Budgie now a days, have enough consoles from customer machines
[15:19] <flexiondotorg> diddledan Ping!
[16:53] <diddledan> flexiondotorg: pong
[16:54] <diddledan> !ding
[16:54] <diddledan> !sing
[16:54] <diddledan> aww
[17:28] <diddledan> the lunduke is livestreaming right now - about to grill a w3c guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHyrA5YOQ8g
[19:06]  * diddledan just put pain-au-chocolate bake-yourself into the oven <3
[19:07] <diddledan> --e
[19:07] <diddledan> pain-au-chocolat
[19:07] <daftykins> that bashrc nick flying by looks familiar
[19:12] <sebsebseb> hi
[19:13] <daftykins> lo
[19:45] <daftykins> i was gifted some super cheap flat-pack nested tables from amazon recently, saw the reviews were all moaning about incorrectly drilled holes and so on, all assembled fine for me though :D
[19:45] <daftykins> got to wonder about the validity to most amazon reviews
[21:04] <zmoylan-pi> maybe they assembled the parts incorrectly :-)
[21:14] <zmoylan-pi> i can just imagine the lobsided frankentables as parts from different sizes are mixed and matched... :-)
[21:15] <daftykins> :>
[21:16] <daftykins> i'm getting a bit tired of homes - http://i.imgur.com/fRipCEJ.jpg
[21:17] <zmoylan-pi> get a prefab made of a shipping container... then all you need is a decent welding class for home repairs :-)
[21:19] <daftykins> \o/
[21:21] <diddledan> I'm not sure most electronics resemble bombs as much, though: https://twitter.com/RasPiTV/status/885972235294584833
[21:22] <diddledan> we'll start getting bombs made into injection-moulded cases soon so they look like ordinary electronics and they then only let us on board with hacked-together rubbish
[21:26] <zmoylan-pi> one of the irish robotwars teams was stopped every time they went to a match as a bunch of irish lads in a van with a bunch of welding, electronics gear, with wires, electronics and a robot was slightly suspicious to customs in uk in the 90s
[21:28] <diddledan> recently an all-girl robot team from afghanistan were refused entry into the US because the authorities are bar stewards
[21:28] <daftykins> and Trump sorted them out with temporary passes
[21:29] <zmoylan-pi> the irish lads got very good at reassembling their ripped apart robot
[21:29] <diddledan> aah, yeah, I just spotted they been overruled: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/13/all-girl-afghan-robotics-team-allowed-to-travel-to-us-after-visa-ruling-overturned
[21:29] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: were customs worse than their robot enemas?
[21:30] <diddledan> "your robot is nowhere near as destructive as customs!"
[21:30] <diddledan> ".. so we'll beat you!"
[21:30] <diddledan> "we survived customs. we'll survive your POS"
[21:31] <zmoylan-pi> customs job is to make everyone feel they are lower than crap
[21:31] <daftykins> point of sale?
[21:31] <diddledan> daftykins: yeah. a checkout drawer makes a good armor
[21:32] <diddledan> wait, did I spell that americanstyle?!
[21:32] <diddledan> omg, I suck!
[21:32] <daftykins> i can't even remember which is which in a lot of cases, now :(
[21:32]  * zmoylan-pi hits diddledan in the colonies...
[21:32] <diddledan> ouch
[21:33] <diddledan> those are my most vulnerable areas
[21:56] <diddledan> sent to the "security mailing list" which they tell you to sign up for if you want more information https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/sSYLjqVy/image.png
[21:57] <diddledan> inception level recursion involved there
[21:57] <diddledan> anywho. I'm sleepy
[21:58] <daftykins> i should go too, but i just cracked open a Guinness West Indies Porter
[21:58] <daftykins> he wasn't carrying any luggage at the time, they'll never take me alive!
