daftykinscurrently playing the waiting game to see what clients pick after a failed hard disk was discovered :)09:38
daftykinshow are you doing this morning, zmoylan-pi ?09:38
zmoylan-pitrying to decide wether to go to nearby town that's now 'accessible' as light rail is only an hours walk away compared to 2 hours away by bus...09:54
daftykinsooh, upgrades! new station eh?10:01
zmoylan-pithey're extending the network and even joining it up in city centre... we can now travel by tram a tiny fraction of the routes we could in the 50s! what an age we live in! :-P10:03
zmoylan-pimaybe electric buses will make them obsolete in a few years this time....10:04
daftykinstrams O_O10:05
zmoylan-pii think they prefer to be called light rail as it sounds posher or something10:06
daftykinsthere used to be one up and down the seafront here, but well before my time10:07
zmoylan-pion roads around my home in the 70s i had to learn to ride a bike on roads with rails still in the ground even though it had been 20+ years since trams had used them10:08
zmoylan-piif they had waited another 20 years they could have used them again :-)10:08
daftykins:D10:09
daftykinswhen i was at Uni in Portsmouth there was one road with them still in, with cobbles everywhere else - made a nice smooth ride if you got the tires aligned10:09
daftykinshttps://goo.gl/maps/GcTPV548YaJ2 there it is!10:10
daftykinsah would've made a lot more sense to zoom into street view, keep forgetting since down here our gov banned google from sharing that10:12
zmoylan-piwait till some bugger finds a way to index all photos on the web so you can flip along peoples personal pics as a poor mans streetview :-)10:13

zmoylan-pimore like the soviet union when stalin rang a bell when it was safe to stop clapping...17:15
daftykins...er they don't slowly ramp up :P17:15
diddledanI don't understand the hype of augmented reality with a handheld screen17:16
daftykinsi didn't see much of an appeal at all until a mate who is an aircraft engineer mentioned it'd be neat to wave a device over some cables in a plane and see what they are17:17
zmoylan-piapple glasses will be an empty pair of glasses that holds iphone in front of face... tada... vr and ar...17:17

daftykins*cough* gimmick17:25
diddledanwell yeah17:25
DJonesWhat are they trying to pretend is an essential "life product" when in reality its just a piece of bent plastic with a couple of wires attached, that doesnt actually serve any useful purpose17:25
daftykinsright now a guy from Lego is suggesting you pacify your kids by spending hundreds :)17:28
diddledanthe whole point of lego used to be to build your own things. these days they seem to be entirely focused on "build our things dammit!"17:29
diddledanit's all about the predesigned models preventing the imagination and creativity that they claim to support17:30
daftykinshere come the extremely specific use cases17:31

zmoylan-piit was a simpler time... when we all patiently awaited linux on the desktop...19:39
diddledandid linux ever get to the desktop?19:40
mgdmit got to the smartphone, there are more of those than desktops, I'm fairly sure19:41
zmoylan-pithat was the year i decommisioned my mac and got a netbook running linux as my main system19:42
daftykinsbut isn't the Linux user ethos to feel smugly superior for being open? ;)19:48
daftykinsand given as smartphones aren't so open, it must not be a win19:48
