| SuperMatt | morning all | 07:58 |
| SuperMatt | officially in to my last month | 07:59 |
| MooDoo | SuperMatt: excellent :) bet you can't wait to finish ;0 | 08:02 |
| SuperMatt | Indeed not. I think the next two weeks will be me actually working, then after that I will be slacking to the max | 08:14 |
| MooDoo | lol :) | 08:15 |

| diddledan | moo | 08:40 |
| SuperMatt | doo | 08:40 |
| MooDoo | :) | 08:43 |
| SuperMatt | Today, I'll mostly be watching a quake champions tournament, because I have naff-all else to do: https://imgur.com/MrNqwOi | 08:51 |
| diddledan | haha. nice | 08:51 |
| diddledan | esports are getting quite professional these days | 08:51 |
| MooDoo | diddledan: you'd be surprised, they have been for years :) | 08:52 |
| SuperMatt | I find it very funny that the presenters are wearing shirts and blazers in an attempt to legitimise eports | 08:52 |
| SuperMatt | *esports | 08:52 |
| MooDoo | theres a thing to try and get esports into the olympics lol | 08:53 |
| SuperMatt | I've always thought that olympic sports should show survival skills | 08:53 |
| SuperMatt | esports do no such thing | 08:54 |
| diddledan | the 100m sprint is survival of outrunning a lion? | 08:56 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure how gymnastics would fit into that paradigm | 08:57 |
| diddledan | e.g. the pommel horse | 08:57 |
| SuperMatt | The pommel horse would skill of leaping over boulders | 08:57 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:52 |

| diddledan | perfect depiction of IT: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/FsqWjhDv/ | 17:48 |
| daftykins | diddledan: Mischief helped me paint again up on the scaffold today, well... mostly she was a gymnast climbing the ladder on *both* sides - https://imgur.com/a/6HVWO | 17:51 |
| diddledan | kitty says your Dee Eye Whys are bad | 17:51 |
| daftykins | she'd never! | 17:51 |
| daftykins | mostly she'd enquire as to why i'm up faffing about with a brush instead of providing a warm lap on the sofa | 17:52 |
| diddledan | aww, warm lap cat ftw | 17:52 |
| diddledan | lol, where do folk find funny images for their conference talks?! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/bATUzADp/ | 18:01 |
| daftykins | 9gag? ;) | 18:02 |
| diddledan | shush! I'm blind! | 18:02 |
| daftykins | goodness, called out to a clients because they had TV troubles, get there - the TV remote had been switched over to control 'STB' so power wasn't turning it on, cycle it back to 'TV' and it was fine ;) | 19:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | time to travel there and back? | 20:00 |
| daftykins | already did yeah, in fairness they're only 600m up the road ;) | 20:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | not too bad then... not a 12hour drive there, flip a switch and 12 hours back... | 20:01 |
| daftykins | also a funny request from there "can't book the hyatt in San Francisco, site says 'access denied' can you fix please?" | 20:01 |
| daftykins | sec let me just go and get my keys to the internet... | 20:01 |
| daftykins | oh zmoylan-pi i gave them to you last! | 20:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'd have to make a prilgrimage to big ben were the internet is stored to fix it... extra hassle now that the scaffolding is in place... | 20:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think the scaffolding is blocking the signal.... :-P ::intends to use that excuse in near future:: | 20:03 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:04 |
| foobarry | can anyone recommend a male grooming shaver type thing? not the big clippers but the small ones the size of a toothpaste tube? | 20:07 |
| foobarry | for diong neck hair and sideburns etc | 20:07 |
| foobarry | the beard trimmer on my electric shaver does not suffice | 20:08 |
| zmoylan-pi | be honest... you want to shave your teams name into your back hair... :-D | 20:08 |
| foobarry | yep | 20:09 |
| foobarry | i don't have back hair though :P | 20:09 |
| foobarry | my barbers ones are nice but i dont know what make they are | 20:09 |

| daftykins | that's right, out of sight, out of mind ;) | 20:10 |
| daftykins | reviews any clue? not that such can be trusted... | 20:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | some people are naturally hairer than others :-) https://imgur.com/gallery/s1Ih4 | 20:10 |
| foobarry | https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072MQCK3B?ref=emc_b_5_t | 20:14 |
| foobarry | thinking this one | 20:14 |
| foobarry | surely u guys must have one? | 20:14 |
| daftykins | i'm still facial hair challenged at 32 years young | 20:14 |
| ali1234 | the big hair clippers are sooo good for beard trimming tho | 20:15 |
| daftykins | foobarry: this advert on twitch is always going on about the philips one-blade or something | 20:15 |
| daftykins | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-OneBlade-Trimmer-Exclusive-Bathroom/dp/B01FFSI7XI/ | 20:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | ask someone with a beard? http://bestbeardever.com/need-a-great-sideburn-trimmer-there-are-two-ways-to-go/ | 20:16 |
| foobarry | thats interesting daftykins , never seen one like that | 20:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | whatever this guy uses... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/07/15/article-2693149-1FA9D7C000000578-572_634x562.jpg | 20:18 |
| foobarry | my neck is v sensitive and comes out in weals | 20:18 |
| foobarry | so i use remington foil shaver | 20:18 |
| diddledan | not publicly accessible, but I'm indexing the ubuntu irc logs: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zRfcfN4k/ | 20:19 |
| foobarry | ewww see the guys bleeding throat on the reviews? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | D: | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | the manly way to do it.... :-P | 20:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | i do remember seeing pics of desert rats shaving in petrol in wwii as water was so scarce... | 20:20 |
| daftykins | wowzer | 20:21 |
| diddledan | brbrb gonna reboob to plug a sata dic in | 20:21 |
| daftykins | you're getting worse :P | 20:27 |
| diddledan | that's unpossible! | 20:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | diddledan just knows how to craunch a marmoset | 20:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_As_She_Is_Spoke | 20:33 |
| foobarry | amazon still accept vine reviews? grrr | 20:42 |
| foobarry | not only that but they always appear so high up | 20:42 |
| foobarry | first 30 reviews i've checked so far | 20:43 |
| foobarry | oh wow , it's nearly every one out of the 100 or so | 20:44 |
| daftykins | every one that what? | 20:45 |
| foobarry | "vine review of free product" | 20:48 |
| foobarry | i skip those because they didn't pay for the product | 20:49 |
| foobarry | it really devalues amazon and the brands they sell to have reviewers who got free stuff | 20:49 |
| daftykins | ah i see | 20:49 |
| daftykins | mmm didn't they stop that eventually? i thought i heard something about it | 20:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | there was talk of downgrading such reviews... as to if it happened or not... | 20:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | voyager firing up thrusters dormant longer than a lot of folk in this channel have been alive... https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/12/after-37-years-voyager-has-fired-up-its-trajectory-thrusters/ | 20:57 |
| daftykins | :O | 20:57 |
| daftykins | wowzer | 20:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | be very thankful it's not running windows... think of all those service patches... | 20:59 |
| daftykins | or a Linux distro, sending all those recompiled utils to fix core functions (: | 21:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | be thankful they're not compiling gentoo on a 70s processor... :-) | 21:12 |
| foobarry | when i'm watching computerphile, i always wonder where all the fanfold line printer paper comes from | 21:15 |
| foobarry | they always write on it. is it left over stock from the 90s? | 21:16 |
| daftykins | haha the ol' tractor fed stuff eh? i think my Dad brought home one of those with the Apple II's back in the day | 21:17 |
| daftykins | i remember he insisted on printing out the text-based adventure game BASIC to error check it | 21:17 |
| foobarry | when i was at uni i used to get a line printout from the unix machines and then write the new code by hand using pen and type it up the next day in the lab | 21:18 |
| foobarry | manual debugging | 21:18 |
| foobarry | mid 90s..no PC at the house | 21:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | there will always be a need for fan fold printer paper... i worked for companies in 80s that printed off their entire database week after week in case their computers were subject to emp | 21:19 |
| foobarry | and did the EMP every happen? | 21:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'll put money down they still are | 21:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | of course not, but there disaster recovery was designed in case it did | 21:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | just train up cockroaches to replace the fried humans and keep going | 21:20 |
| foobarry | https://youtu.be/qjZuI0FT9Z8?t=425 they write on it every episode | 21:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | i did see their disaster recovery in operation when building next door collapesed while it was been demolished and crashed into their accounts department | 21:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | the server we had just installed took rock to the case. and water on motherboard. carpet destroyed, windows knocked in, desks broken. | 21:21 |
| daftykins | foobarry: wowzer | 21:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | as we rebuilt server. swarms of electricians, carpet folk, carpenters, window frame guys and glaziers came through and fixed it for monday | 21:22 |
| diddledan | EMP? that reminds me of a 90s cult-ish sci-fi called Dark Angel | 21:23 |
| diddledan | supposedly set in a murrica post EMPping | 21:23 |
| daftykins | diddledan: the premise behind that sounds a lot like Stranger Things o0 | 21:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | there's a few books now posing such senarios | 21:24 |
| diddledan | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Angel_(TV_series) | 21:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | eventually some mad bugger will do it so even civilian electronics will need some form of hardening | 21:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | just think... no more cat videos... | 21:33 |
| diddledan | stand back, I'm making it hard! | 21:33 |
| diddledan | ..ened* | 21:33 |
| * daftykins groans | 21:35 | |
| zmoylan-pi | don't you'll only excite diddledan | 21:36 |
| daftykins | that's true | 21:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | when in doubt confuse them, make distressed camel noises... | 21:36 |
| daftykins | that's a sacred animal in Guernsey | 21:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | getting one for christmas? a bugger to fit in the oven... :-) | 21:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | you'll be going on camel sandwiches for months... | 21:42 |
| daftykins | :) | 21:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | 2-3 days just to get through a drumstick... | 21:46 |
| * diddledan makes camel noises: WAAAAGGGGHHHHHH | 21:48 | |
| * zmoylan-pi nods to daftykins | 21:49 | |
| zmoylan-pi | quick, i'll get the onions and stuffing.... :-P | 21:49 |
| daftykins | and some kind of gag to stop the spitting | 21:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | what do you think the onions are for? | 21:51 |
| daftykins | ah haaaa | 21:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | not my first camel stuffing... :-P | 21:51 |
| * daftykins prods m0nkey_ | 21:51 | |
| daftykins | oi you're not fulfilling your obligations as not-shauno enough :) | 21:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | maybe we've fallen behind in our hobnob payments to m0nkey_ | 22:18 |
| daftykins | :) | 22:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | i was sure they'd not notice the switch to generic hibnibs... | 22:22 |
| daftykins | i've not heard of those! | 22:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i couldn't think of the generics i see in aldi/lidl... oaties i think... so i made up hibnibs... | 22:25 |
| christel | -1 | 23:00 |
| daftykins | o0 | 23:03 |
| daftykins | christel: did you deduct zmoylan-pi a point for his made up biscuit name? :) | 23:04 |
| * zmoylan-pi restores balance to the channel... +1 | 23:04 | |
| daftykins | phew ;) | 23:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't want the channel going off on a tangent... | 23:06 |
| christel | oops | 23:06 |
| christel | hahaha | 23:06 |
| christel | yes | 23:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | but that would merely be a sine of the times... | 23:06 |
| daftykins | oh dear oh dear oh dear | 23:07 |
| daftykins | easy, we're nearly at our 2017 quota of puns | 23:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | and we'd have no iota of how to correct things... | 23:07 |
| * zmoylan-pi celebrates €4 win on lotto.... \o/ | 23:09 | |
| daftykins | quick, 4 more tickets | 23:09 |
| === edk is now known as demiurge | ||
| zmoylan-pi | sure a few million would be nice... i could buy that netbook i have my eye on... :-) | 23:36 |
| daftykins | eww | 23:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | and 2 macbooks to make a solid clamshell case for it... :-D | 23:38 |
| daftykins | as long as you cover the logo! | 23:40 |
| daftykins | i've got a serious craptop in right now, an Acer E1 that needs a new screen thrown in | 23:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | those are on the inside and ripped out so you can insert some cables... :-) | 23:41 |
