[09:45] allo allo [09:46] indeed [12:09] mid-week greets! [12:11] * zxm-pi_ hugs 2nd mug of tea [12:12] did you take your little Psion to bed last night? :D [12:16] of course. now trying to reposition lights to save on using backlight in bed [12:17] hehe when the daylight was gone, i noticed quite quickly how hard to use my one was, too [12:17] and find a safe spot where it won't be knocked, stood on or slip to the floor [12:18] 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] doesn't need much light. just a tiny amount to make the lcd do it's thing [12:18] psion hoarder. geek version of crazy cat lady :-P [12:19] xD [12:19] i mean i listen to a few linux podcasts, some of those folk have an unhealthy number of thinkpads [12:20] i mean, below 10 and you're fine. but after that :-P [12:21] haha [12:21] i've been able to restrict myself to a single active at once! not the only laptop in the house mind you... [12:22] i can see future technology anonymous meetings... 'have you ever tweeted from your smartfridge?' :-P [12:25] it's what you do whilst you wait for your smart kettle's firmware update to apply [12:28] * zxm-pi_ slides linux toaster out of sight... [12:29] the day is definitely going to come when on my task list for visiting a client premises some day, toaster firmware update sneaks on [12:30] talkie toaster(tm) [12:31] one of the VM's for my friends medical data analysis biz is named that :D [12:31] so you kill it often? :-P [12:32] haha [12:32] Kryten has to come and repair it [12:34] you'd think they'd licence a talkie toaster by now. every time you turn it on some quip from red dwarf [12:35] :D [12:35] suspect it would sell a few [12:36] i wonder if my pal still has his Mr. Flibble [12:37] the alternative is there is a mr. flibble lose out there... [12:40] D: [12:55] zxm-pi_: curious, what does your OS version show as if you use the menu / hit Psion+V from the home screen? [12:55] 5.20F here on my 3c [12:55] 6.16f [12:55] :O! [12:55] did they add Guernsey? ;) [12:56] just wrote a doc in the Word program, i forgot it lists the files below the icon for you :D [12:56] that /might/ be a 5mx version? [12:56] g.u.e *BEEP* [12:56] haha just like my video [12:57] not even a channel islands [12:57] nope :( [12:57] thank Tux they don't have Jersey either [12:58] course, you could add a city for guernsey to get correct sun rise/set times [12:59] ah yes in the World app [13:00] would do most of the work if not allow you to be proud of your nation [13:00] 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 [13:01] * zxm-pi_ ponders digging out my psion data archives to see what notes i have on ps/2 mice :-D [13:02] 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' [13:03] i wonder what it would have been like on my original 3a model :-) [13:03] it says that versus London's sunrise of 4:39, ours is 4:55 ish... let's see how that compares [13:03] "put the kettle on" ? :D [13:04] i seem to remember the psion had 3 ways to calculate sunset. military, civilain, one other? [13:05] brb [13:19] think it's not on daylight savings, hmm [13:22] oops i may have accidentally renamed a Danish city [13:24] i don't think you'll be using your psion to look up dialling codes in denmark anytime soon :-P [13:26] hang on my custom home marker seems to be blinking above India xD [13:27] someone mixed up lat long again? :-P [13:28] 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] 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 [13:30] i always thought that psions way of doing summer time worked really well. [13:46] ooooh i know what it's doing now [13:47] i thought it was seizing, but it's offering me to manually place the marker [13:47] oh yeah i remember that now :-P [13:47] forgot that [13:48] having the lat and long entered doesn't help its' starting point any [14:37] zxm-pi_: PsiWin is being installed \o/ [14:39] link working \o/ [14:47] huzzah [14:48] will wait a few weeks before getting a serial cable. just want to play with the psion first [14:49] :) [14:49] just converted my Word doc over to Word 6.0 format to read in Word 2000 (that's a lot of word) [14:58] bird [15:01] :D [15:01] "don't you know... about the bird?"
