[08:57] I'm not sure how gymnastics would fit into that paradigm [08:57] e.g. the pommel horse [08:57] The pommel horse would skill of leaping over boulders [09:52] morning boys and girls. [09:57] morning brobostigon :) [10:04] morning MooDoo === Guest18048 is now known as ahayzen [17:48] perfect depiction of IT: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/FsqWjhDv/ [17:51] 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] kitty says your Dee Eye Whys are bad [17:51] she'd never! [17:52] 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] aww, warm lap cat ftw [18:01] lol, where do folk find funny images for their conference talks?! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/bATUzADp/ [18:02] 9gag? ;) [18:02] shush! I'm blind!

[20:01] also a funny request from there "can't book the hyatt in San Francisco, site says 'access denied' can you fix please?" [20:01] sec let me just go and get my keys to the internet... [20:02] oh zmoylan-pi i gave them to you last! [20:02] 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... [20:03] i think the scaffolding is blocking the signal.... :-P ::intends to use that excuse in near future:: [20:04] :D [20:07] 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] for diong neck hair and sideburns etc [20:08] the beard trimmer on my electric shaver does not suffice [20:08] be honest... you want to shave your teams name into your back hair... :-D [20:09] yep [20:09] i don't have back hair though :P [20:09] my barbers ones are nice but i dont know what make they are [20:10] lots on amazon. don't know whats a good one [20:10] that's right, out of sight, out of mind ;) [20:10] reviews any clue? not that such can be trusted...

[20:14] i'm still facial hair challenged at 32 years young [20:15] the big hair clippers are sooo good for beard trimming tho [20:15] foobarry: this advert on twitch is always going on about the philips one-blade or something [20:15] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-OneBlade-Trimmer-Exclusive-Bathroom/dp/B01FFSI7XI/ [20:16] ask someone with a beard? http://bestbeardever.com/need-a-great-sideburn-trimmer-there-are-two-ways-to-go/ [20:17] thats interesting daftykins , never seen one like that [20:18] whatever this guy uses... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/07/15/article-2693149-1FA9D7C000000578-572_634x562.jpg [20:18] my neck is v sensitive and comes out in weals [20:18] so i use remington foil shaver [20:19] not publicly accessible, but I'm indexing the ubuntu irc logs: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zRfcfN4k/ [20:19] ewww see the guys bleeding throat on the reviews?

[20:32] diddledan just knows how to craunch a marmoset [20:33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_As_She_Is_Spoke [20:42] amazon still accept vine reviews? grrr [20:42] not only that but they always appear so high up [20:43] first 30 reviews i've checked so far [20:44] oh wow , it's nearly every one out of the 100 or so [20:45] every one that what? [20:48] "vine review of free product" [20:49] i skip those because they didn't pay for the product [20:49] it really devalues amazon and the brands they sell to have reviewers who got free stuff [20:49] ah i see [20:50] mmm didn't they stop that eventually? i thought i heard something about it [20:50] there was talk of downgrading such reviews... as to if it happened or not... [20:57] 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] :O [20:58] wowzer [20:59] be very thankful it's not running windows... think of all those service patches... [21:11] or a Linux distro, sending all those recompiled utils to fix core functions (: [21:12] be thankful they're not compiling gentoo on a 70s processor... :-) [21:15] when i'm watching computerphile, i always wonder where all the fanfold line printer paper comes from [21:16] they always write on it. is it left over stock from the 90s? [21:17] 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] i remember he insisted on printing out the text-based adventure game BASIC to error check it [21:18] 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] manual debugging [21:19] mid 90s..no PC at the house [21:19] 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] and did the EMP every happen? [21:19] i'll put money down they still are [21:19] of course not, but there disaster recovery was designed in case it did [21:20] just train up cockroaches to replace the fried humans and keep going [21:20] https://youtu.be/qjZuI0FT9Z8?t=425 they write on it every episode [21:20] i did see their disaster recovery in operation when building next door collapesed while it was been demolished and crashed into their accounts department [21:21] the server we had just installed took rock to the case. and water on motherboard. carpet destroyed, windows knocked in, desks broken. [21:22] foobarry: wowzer [21:22] as we rebuilt server. swarms of electricians, carpet folk, carpenters, window frame guys and glaziers came through and fixed it for monday [21:23] EMP? that reminds me of a 90s cult-ish sci-fi called Dark Angel [21:23] supposedly set in a murrica post EMPping [21:23] diddledan: the premise behind that sounds a lot like Stranger Things o0 [21:24] there's a few books now posing such senarios [21:24] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Angel_(TV_series) [21:27] eventually some mad bugger will do it so even civilian electronics will need some form of hardening [21:33] just think... no more cat videos... [21:33] stand back, I'm making it hard! [21:33] ..ened* [21:35] * daftykins groans [21:36] don't you'll only excite diddledan [21:36] that's true [21:36] when in doubt confuse them, make distressed camel noises... [21:38] that's a sacred animal in Guernsey [21:42] getting one for christmas? a bugger to fit in the oven... :-) [21:42] you'll be going on camel sandwiches for months...

[22:24] i've not heard of those! [22:25] i couldn't think of the generics i see in aldi/lidl... oaties i think... so i made up hibnibs... [23:00] -1 [23:03] o0 [23:04] 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] phew ;) [23:06] wouldn't want the channel going off on a tangent... [23:06] oops [23:06] hahaha [23:06] yes [23:06] but that would merely be a sine of the times... [23:07] oh dear oh dear oh dear [23:07] easy, we're nearly at our 2017 quota of puns [23:07] and we'd have no iota of how to correct things... [23:09] * zmoylan-pi celebrates €4 win on lotto.... \o/ [23:09] quick, 4 more tickets === edk is now known as demiurge [23:36] sure a few million would be nice... i could buy that netbook i have my eye on... :-) [23:36] eww [23:38] and 2 macbooks to make a solid clamshell case for it... :-D [23:40] as long as you cover the logo! [23:41] i've got a serious craptop in right now, an Acer E1 that needs a new screen thrown in [23:41] those are on the inside and ripped out so you can insert some cables... :-)
