| zxm-pi | arm really hurt for a 2-3 days after first pfizer. so kinda not looking forward to it being a little worse this time | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | moderna is supposed to feel like the worst flu for about a day after the 2nd | 00:09 |
| zxm-pi | get the box sets out and have a binge of some good tv while you recover :-) | 00:10 |
| penguin42 | maybe 'scanners'? | 00:14 |
| * zxm-pi has started listening fake doctors real friends podcast by 2 leads in scrubs and watching episode same day. | 00:18 | |
| daftykins | happy Sunday to all \o | 12:23 |
| daftykins | zxm-pi: ooh i haven't seen any Scrubs in ages | 12:23 |
| daftykins | in fact i think i was hoarding that during my studenting, so that's a fair few moons now | 12:23 |
| daftykins | definitely regretting not putting a small fee on this iPad i am giving away today, my phone has been going pretty regularly this morning with enquiries | 12:35 |
| zxm-pi | tis good karma | 12:40 |
| daftykins | i think wealthy fella has another 2 old ones but we're talking even more ancient there, 30 pin dock connector ancient | 12:42 |
| daftykins | neither of us like Apple stuff but given the fancy jobs he's held, he's been gifted them from time to time | 12:42 |
| zxm-pi | ipad v2 was a tank and many of them still about from what i see online | 12:43 |
| zxm-pi | just can't connect it to web anymore | 12:43 |
| daftykins | when this person said it was just for the kids to watch Netflix when camping, that sounded like an ideal use! | 12:44 |
| daftykins | i checked their compatibility list for fun, seems they're holding onto letting them all still work - but a 1st gen iPad can only do 480p :D | 12:45 |
| zxm-pi | but how much storage is on the old ones, you'd need to compress the buggery out of media files to fit a camping holidays worth onboard | 12:45 |
| daftykins | i wonder what their plan is for data | 12:45 |
| daftykins | well this is a cellular model i'm giving away, so no need - just get a local pay as you go data SIM and 100GB allowance for £20 last i looked, that'd do a few | 12:46 |
| daftykins | wouldn't fancy the battery life chances in that config though | 12:46 |
| daftykins | wb ball \o | 12:50 |
| ball | Thanks daftykins! | 12:50 |
| daftykins | hrmm so it sounds like that iMac being sold locally is either a core 2 duo or a 1st gen core, pretty ancient 2009 model | 12:51 |
| penguin42 | hmm the x86 ones were 2006 werent they? | 12:53 |
| daftykins | yeah somewhere around there | 12:54 |
| penguin42 | watching our webserver get hammered at the time when the Beeb linked to it a few days before the announce of Rosetta was fun | 12:57 |
| daftykins | oh, did you have a hand in that? | 12:57 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: I was at Transitive, we wrote the emulator | 12:57 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:58 |
| daftykins | very cool | 12:58 |
| ball | When you said "the Beeb linked to it" I pictured a Model B. | 12:58 |
| penguin42 | *BASIC | 12:58 |
| ball | STATION 254 NOT LISTENING | 12:59 |
| penguin42 | econet was one of the few beeb things I didnt do | 13:01 |
| daftykins | i distinctly remember one sat in the back of the classroom in about year 1 of primary school, but i don't think we ever got to use it, real shame | 13:02 |
| daftykins | so that would have been 1990 or 1991 if that fits | 13:03 |
| ball | I unboxed the BBC Model A we received at primary school under "Computers for Schools"/ | 13:03 |
| ball | Helped the headmaster hook it up and typed the first few programs from the manual. | 13:04 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:04 |
| ball | Later, at secondary school, we had BBC Masters and the first few Archimedes. | 13:04 |
| daftykins | ah my secondary was 100% acorn until just before i left | 13:05 |
| ball | The scary physics teacher had an RM-380 | 13:06 |
| ball | Z | 13:06 |
| ball | Oh! ...and we had a few RM Nimbus. | 13:06 |
| ball | ...and an Apple ][ in the library. | 13:06 |
| daftykins | still badgering my Dad to dig out the ][ he has squirreled away | 13:11 |
| ball | Someone threw mine away before I was done with them. :-| | 13:12 |
| ball | Probably for the best, I suppose. | 13:12 |
| daftykins | assuming they had a battery, i'm worried about corrosion at this point | 13:14 |
| ball | I'm pretty sure these didn't have a battery but there are still the caps to think about. | 13:14 |
| daftykins | ah yeah looks like there were add-ins to handle clocks earlier on, only became standard from the ][GS apparently | 13:15 |
| zxm-pi | all schools and libraries in ireland got an apple ii. of course it was so delicate and fragile that no kids were allowed anywhere near them | 13:17 |
| zxm-pi | but my school went out on a limb and bought 6 c64s and a networked floppy drive. gave us all hands on experience. | 13:18 |
| * penguin42 remembers borrowing one of the schools beebs to play with serial with my own | 13:18 | |
| ball | zxm-pi: Nice! I wonder what network the C64s were on. | 13:18 |
| daftykins | wet string? ;D | 13:18 |
| zxm-pi | all of the c64s could access the floppy. just had to scream 'i'm using it don't do anything you sods' first :-) | 13:19 |
| ball | zxm-pi: A friend and I saw that when we hooked two PETs up to a double disk drive. | 13:20 |
| ball | We could use it fine but not at the same time. | 13:20 |
| penguin42 | PET disk drives were a bit odd though | 13:20 |
| penguin42 | GPIB and they had at least 2 processors of their own in | 13:21 |
| * ball nods | 13:21 | |
| ball | I fixed a Beeb with the 6522 from a broken PET drive. | 13:21 |
| penguin42 | not that the user via imploded if you looked at it wrong.... | 13:23 |
| ball | I should get dressed to go over the little shop. | 13:25 |
| zxm-pi | go as you are, people will keep their distance more readily :-P | 13:25 |
| ball | Well I'm dressed but I'm wearing shorts and a tee shirt and generally like to wear long trousers if I'm going out. | 13:26 |
| ball | I could take the bike if they had anywhere to chain it up. | 13:26 |
| daftykins | i was chatting with a lady outside my doctor's surgery the other day about the lack of catering for us cyclists! allegedly they're building a new site beside the existing though which will have some | 13:35 |
| ball | That's good. | 13:35 |
| daftykins | the islands roads are truly crazy these days, when i was in school they were much more calm and households were lucky to have one car, my parents have tales of the roads being empty in the 70s :D | 13:36 |
| zxm-pi | a lot of roads were empty in 70s after the oil crisis | 13:38 |
| ball | We lived without one for years, after my dad's mini died. | 13:38 |
| ball | We walked everywhere, or rode our bikes. | 13:39 |
| daftykins | easy for the likes of me on the island, but a much different prospect for you mainlanders :D | 13:41 |
| zxm-pi | after the oil crisis ended my dad got a honda 50 motorbike as it used bugger all fuel. could still get dad and 5 kids on it. different times | 13:42 |
| ball | daftykins: We were three miles from the nearest town, mind. | 13:44 |
| ball | brb, trousers... | 13:44 |
| daftykins | wooooow https://tig.gg/category/home-family/tv-audio/15320/damaged-75-oled-samsung-75 | 13:45 |
| penguin42 | haha | 13:59 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 13:59 |
| penguin42 | shame there's a couple of vertical lines; otherwise you could gently forget about the hole | 13:59 |
| daftykins | :D | 14:02 |
| daftykins | heh even when you behave like a charity on these trade sites, people still have a knack to muck you around - these ones are saying lunch service is slow so they are going to be late | 14:06 |
| === Nokaji_ is now known as Nokaji | ||
| daftykins | hrmm what else do i need to get done before the week starts... | 16:22 |
| zxm-pi | build that doomsday device you've always wanted? :-P | 16:22 |
| daftykins | i could well be driven to that in time xD | 16:23 |
| daftykins | nah it isn't so bad now, makes sense why large enough companies have tiered support though, gets crazy when you are the only person | 16:26 |
| jlj_ | ^^^ | 16:33 |
| jlj_ | Can I just say, love that I have a hard time keeping up in here. New server revival! ;-) | 16:34 |
| daftykins | hehe | 16:35 |
| daftykins | definitely needed a good shaking, the ol' tree | 16:35 |
| * jlj_ grins | 16:37 | |
| zxm-pi | new channel, all shiny no rust | 16:41 |
| zxm-pi | new server kills off the dead channels funnelling people into active ones | 16:41 |
| penguin42 | yeh I'm surprised, I'd expected it to split stuff more | 16:42 |
| daftykins | i'm curious how many are on the 'new' leenode | 16:44 |
| zxm-pi | https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php | 16:46 |
| penguin42 | huh surprised there's still that much left - what is it, bots? | 16:49 |
| daftykins | probably :D | 16:50 |
| daftykins | what i really meant was i didn't trust the numbers xD | 16:50 |
| jlj_ | ^^^ | 16:50 |
| daftykins | ooh nasty, the Dell R820 reached an inlet temp of 33 deg C last week | 16:51 |
| daftykins | (at my pal's house in Exeter) | 16:51 |
| penguin42 | bit warm | 16:54 |
| daftykins | yeah, he went against my advice and put it in an uninsulated attic area despite my protests from the beginning | 16:54 |
| penguin42 | because it's never warm in essex? | 16:55 |
| daftykins | my wealthy client has a knack for trying to suggest the worst possible rooms for equipment too, it's incredible | 16:56 |
| daftykins | "there's some nice loft space here" | 16:57 |
| * daftykins looks at a precarious ladder suspended beside a large staircase drop | 16:57 | |
| daftykins | <me> not happening. | 16:57 |
| daftykins | glad to have had some input on the new office design though \o/ current PC lives in a horrible custom desk design with a solid wooden piece between the footwell and his PC, so if i want to open it, i have to unplug it and slide it out every time | 16:58 |
| zxm-pi | what... you don't have a switch hanging from it's cat 5 cables suspended over the users chair as the switch of damocles? :-P | 17:03 |
| daftykins | xD | 17:28 |
| daftykins | my optician does | 17:28 |
| daftykins | ugh i think i see another DJ event about to start this evening at the beer garden above me, just handed over that iPad at last | 17:29 |
| penguin42 | that's a point we need to find someone with a ladder to wire something | 17:30 |
| daftykins | phew listing deleted to prevent further calls | 17:31 |
