[00:04] arm really hurt for a 2-3 days after first pfizer. so kinda not looking forward to it being a little worse this time [00:09] moderna is supposed to feel like the worst flu for about a day after the 2nd [00:10] get the box sets out and have a binge of some good tv while you recover :-) [00:14] maybe 'scanners'? [00:18] * zxm-pi has started listening fake doctors real friends podcast by 2 leads in scrubs and watching episode same day. [12:23] happy Sunday to all \o [12:23] zxm-pi: ooh i haven't seen any Scrubs in ages [12:23] in fact i think i was hoarding that during my studenting, so that's a fair few moons now [12:35] 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 [12:40] tis good karma [12:42] i think wealthy fella has another 2 old ones but we're talking even more ancient there, 30 pin dock connector ancient [12:42] neither of us like Apple stuff but given the fancy jobs he's held, he's been gifted them from time to time [12:43] ipad v2 was a tank and many of them still about from what i see online [12:43] just can't connect it to web anymore [12:44] when this person said it was just for the kids to watch Netflix when camping, that sounded like an ideal use! [12:45] 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] 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] i wonder what their plan is for data [12:46] 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] wouldn't fancy the battery life chances in that config though [12:50] wb ball \o [12:50] Thanks daftykins! [12:51] 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 [12:53] hmm the x86 ones were 2006 werent they? [12:54] yeah somewhere around there [12:57] 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] oh, did you have a hand in that? [12:57] daftykins: I was at Transitive, we wrote the emulator [12:58] :D [12:58] very cool [12:58] When you said "the Beeb linked to it" I pictured a Model B. [12:58] *BASIC [12:59] STATION 254 NOT LISTENING [13:01] econet was one of the few beeb things I didnt do [13:02] 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 [13:03] so that would have been 1990 or 1991 if that fits [13:03] I unboxed the BBC Model A we received at primary school under "Computers for Schools"/ [13:04] Helped the headmaster hook it up and typed the first few programs from the manual. [13:04] :D [13:04] Later, at secondary school, we had BBC Masters and the first few Archimedes. [13:05] ah my secondary was 100% acorn until just before i left [13:06] The scary physics teacher had an RM-380 [13:06] Z [13:06] Oh! ...and we had a few RM Nimbus. [13:06] ...and an Apple ][ in the library. [13:11] still badgering my Dad to dig out the ][ he has squirreled away [13:12] Someone threw mine away before I was done with them. :-| [13:12] Probably for the best, I suppose. [13:14] assuming they had a battery, i'm worried about corrosion at this point [13:14] I'm pretty sure these didn't have a battery but there are still the caps to think about. [13:15] ah yeah looks like there were add-ins to handle clocks earlier on, only became standard from the ][GS apparently [13:17] 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 [13:18] 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] zxm-pi: Nice! I wonder what network the C64s were on. [13:18] wet string? ;D [13:19] all of the c64s could access the floppy. just had to scream 'i'm using it don't do anything you sods' first :-) [13:20] zxm-pi: A friend and I saw that when we hooked two PETs up to a double disk drive. [13:20] We could use it fine but not at the same time. [13:20] PET disk drives were a bit odd though [13:21] GPIB and they had at least 2 processors of their own in [13:21] * ball nods [13:21] I fixed a Beeb with the 6522 from a broken PET drive. [13:23] not that the user via imploded if you looked at it wrong.... [13:25] I should get dressed to go over the little shop. [13:25] go as you are, people will keep their distance more readily :-P [13:26] 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] I could take the bike if they had anywhere to chain it up. [13:35] 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] That's good. [13:36] 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 [13:38] a lot of roads were empty in 70s after the oil crisis [13:38] We lived without one for years, after my dad's mini died. [13:39] We walked everywhere, or rode our bikes. [13:41] easy for the likes of me on the island, but a much different prospect for you mainlanders :D [13:42] 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 [13:44] daftykins: We were three miles from the nearest town, mind. [13:44] brb, trousers... [13:45] wooooow https://tig.gg/category/home-family/tv-audio/15320/damaged-75-oled-samsung-75 [13:59] haha [13:59] hmm [13:59] shame there's a couple of vertical lines; otherwise you could gently forget about the hole [14:02] :D [14:06] 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 === Nokaji_ is now known as Nokaji [16:22] hrmm what else do i need to get done before the week starts... [16:22] build that doomsday device you've always wanted? :-P [16:23] i could well be driven to that in time xD [16:26] 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 [16:33] ^^^ [16:34] Can I just say, love that I have a hard time keeping up in here. New server revival! ;-) [16:35] hehe [16:35] definitely needed a good shaking, the ol' tree [16:37] * jlj_ grins [16:41] new channel, all shiny no rust [16:41] new server kills off the dead channels funnelling people into active ones [16:42] yeh I'm surprised, I'd expected it to split stuff more [16:44] i'm curious how many are on the 'new' leenode [16:46] https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php [16:49] huh surprised there's still that much left - what is it, bots? [16:50] probably :D [16:50] what i really meant was i didn't trust the numbers xD [16:50] ^^^ [16:51] ooh nasty, the Dell R820 reached an inlet temp of 33 deg C last week [16:51] (at my pal's house in Exeter) [16:54] bit warm [16:54] yeah, he went against my advice and put it in an uninsulated attic area despite my protests from the beginning [16:55] because it's never warm in essex? [16:56] my wealthy client has a knack for trying to suggest the worst possible rooms for equipment too, it's incredible [16:57] "there's some nice loft space here" [16:57] * daftykins looks at a precarious ladder suspended beside a large staircase drop [16:57] not happening. [16:58] 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 [17:03] 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 [17:28] xD [17:28] my optician does [17:29] 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 [17:30] that's a point we need to find someone with a ladder to wire something [17:31] phew listing deleted to prevent further calls
