| zxm-pi_ | allo allo | 09:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Nafallo | indeed | 09:46 |
| daftykins | mid-week greets! | 12:09 |
| * zxm-pi_ hugs 2nd mug of tea | 12:11 | |
| daftykins | did you take your little Psion to bed last night? :D | 12:12 |
| zxm-pi_ | of course. now trying to reposition lights to save on using backlight in bed | 12:16 |
| daftykins | hehe when the daylight was gone, i noticed quite quickly how hard to use my one was, too | 12:17 |
| zxm-pi_ | and find a safe spot where it won't be knocked, stood on or slip to the floor | 12:17 |
| daftykins | i saw a pretty fancy 5 or revo on ebay for all of £50, didn't even mention if it had an AC adapter though - slippery slope this :) | 12:18 |
| zxm-pi_ | doesn't need much light. just a tiny amount to make the lcd do it's thing | 12:18 |
| zxm-pi_ | psion hoarder. geek version of crazy cat lady :-P | 12:18 |
| daftykins | xD | 12:19 |
| zxm-pi_ | i mean i listen to a few linux podcasts, some of those folk have an unhealthy number of thinkpads | 12:19 |
| zxm-pi_ | i mean, below 10 and you're fine. but after that :-P | 12:20 |
| daftykins | haha | 12:21 |
| daftykins | i've been able to restrict myself to a single active at once! not the only laptop in the house mind you... | 12:21 |
| zxm-pi_ | i can see future technology anonymous meetings... 'have you ever tweeted from your smartfridge?' :-P | 12:22 |
| daftykins | it's what you do whilst you wait for your smart kettle's firmware update to apply | 12:25 |
| * zxm-pi_ slides linux toaster out of sight... | 12:28 | |
| daftykins | the day is definitely going to come when on my task list for visiting a client premises some day, toaster firmware update sneaks on | 12:29 |
| zxm-pi_ | talkie toaster(tm) | 12:30 |
| daftykins | one of the VM's for my friends medical data analysis biz is named that :D | 12:31 |
| zxm-pi_ | so you kill it often? :-P | 12:31 |
| daftykins | haha | 12:32 |
| daftykins | Kryten has to come and repair it | 12:32 |
| zxm-pi_ | you'd think they'd licence a talkie toaster by now. every time you turn it on some quip from red dwarf | 12:34 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:35 |
| zxm-pi_ | suspect it would sell a few | 12:35 |
| daftykins | i wonder if my pal still has his Mr. Flibble | 12:36 |
| zxm-pi_ | the alternative is there is a mr. flibble lose out there... | 12:37 |
| daftykins | D: | 12:40 |
| daftykins | zxm-pi_: curious, what does your OS version show as if you use the menu / hit Psion+V from the home screen? | 12:55 |
| daftykins | 5.20F here on my 3c | 12:55 |
| zxm-pi_ | 6.16f | 12:55 |
| daftykins | :O! | 12:55 |
| daftykins | did they add Guernsey? ;) | 12:55 |
| daftykins | just wrote a doc in the Word program, i forgot it lists the files below the icon for you :D | 12:56 |
| zxm-pi_ | that /might/ be a 5mx version? | 12:56 |
| zxm-pi_ | g.u.e *BEEP* | 12:56 |
| daftykins | haha just like my video | 12:56 |
| zxm-pi_ | not even a channel islands | 12:57 |
| daftykins | nope :( | 12:57 |
| daftykins | thank Tux they don't have Jersey either | 12:57 |
| zxm-pi_ | course, you could add a city for guernsey to get correct sun rise/set times | 12:58 |
| daftykins | ah yes in the World app | 12:59 |
| zxm-pi_ | would do most of the work if not allow you to be proud of your nation | 13:00 |
| daftykins | oh my, just got an email that the local Hermes courier guy has my new PS/2 mouse and case fan to finish up the Dell PIII i've been working on :O | 13:00 |
| * zxm-pi_ ponders digging out my psion data archives to see what notes i have on ps/2 mice :-D | 13:01 | |
| daftykins | wow it took about 20 seconds of thinking after i entered the lat and long, then saved the new place, to draw the results in 'World' | 13:02 |
| zxm-pi_ | i wonder what it would have been like on my original 3a model :-) | 13:03 |
| daftykins | it says that versus London's sunrise of 4:39, ours is 4:55 ish... let's see how that compares | 13:03 |
| daftykins | "put the kettle on" ? :D | 13:03 |
| zxm-pi_ | i seem to remember the psion had 3 ways to calculate sunset. military, civilain, one other? | 13:04 |
| daftykins | brb | 13:05 |
| daftykins | think it's not on daylight savings, hmm | 13:19 |
| daftykins | oops i may have accidentally renamed a Danish city | 13:22 |
| zxm-pi_ | i don't think you'll be using your psion to look up dialling codes in denmark anytime soon :-P | 13:24 |
| daftykins | hang on my custom home marker seems to be blinking above India xD | 13:26 |
| zxm-pi_ | someone mixed up lat long again? :-P | 13:27 |
| daftykins | nah, they were quite apparent on adding a city, since i had to swap east for west for one... but not sure what happened there | 13:28 |
| daftykins | it's having a really long and hard think about things now, as i just had to add a 1 hour offset from GMT to avoid summertime confusion | 13:28 |
| zxm-pi_ | i always thought that psions way of doing summer time worked really well. | 13:30 |
| daftykins | ooooh i know what it's doing now | 13:46 |
| daftykins | i thought it was seizing, but it's offering me to manually place the marker | 13:47 |
| zxm-pi_ | oh yeah i remember that now :-P | 13:47 |
| zxm-pi_ | forgot that | 13:47 |
| daftykins | having the lat and long entered doesn't help its' starting point any | 13:48 |
| daftykins | zxm-pi_: PsiWin is being installed \o/ | 14:37 |
| daftykins | link working \o/ | 14:39 |
| zxm-pi_ | huzzah | 14:47 |
| zxm-pi_ | will wait a few weeks before getting a serial cable. just want to play with the psion first | 14:48 |
| daftykins | :) | 14:49 |
| daftykins | just converted my Word doc over to Word 6.0 format to read in Word 2000 (that's a lot of word) | 14:49 |
| Laney | bird | 14:58 |
