[09:04] <bigcalm> How's this damp Friday going?
[09:04] <zxm-pi> it's a friday so everything else doesn't matter :-P
[09:08] <bigcalm> There is that
[10:58] <daftykins> mmm fry up at a cafe \o/
[11:01] <zxm-pi> black pudding AND white pudding? :-P
[11:01] <daftykins> neither!
[11:01] <bigcalm> Mmmmm
[11:02] <bigcalm> I <3 black pudding
[11:02] <zxm-pi> then technically it's not a proper fryup :-P
[11:02] <bigcalm> Not sure if I've ever had white pudding
[11:02] <bigcalm> Though I am aware of it
[11:02] <zxm-pi> white pudding is a milder taste. i won't have a lot of black pudding as a little goes a long way but can eat a tonne of white pudding.
[11:03] <zxm-pi> absolutely perfect for middle of a sandwich
[11:04] <zxm-pi> melting the butter into the bread on a cold day as your arteries harden just lookig at it :-)
[11:05] <zxm-pi> cold windy and wet at the mo. perfect day for an irish brekkie roll https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_roll
[11:08] <zxm-pi> only thing comparable to white pudding sandwich is a scottish tinned sausage sandwich

[13:19] <diddledani> the craig is 90
[13:19] <diddledani> or is it spelt craic?
[13:19] <diddledani> I suck
[13:19] <zxm-pi> craic
[13:20] <zxm-pi> pronounced crack
[13:20] <diddledani> thanks :-)
[13:20] <zxm-pi> but irish doesn't have a k
[13:20] <diddledani> I enjoyed those two videos :-D
[13:21] <zxm-pi> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzb-6smlTg5UPirLdsdQ_cQ they do have a few others :-P
[13:55] <bigcalm> ¬,¬
[13:55] <diddledani> ooh, deja vu
[17:22] <bigcalm> Weekend!

[21:16] <zxm-pi> no. 5 is alive!
[21:16] <zxm-pi> and running freedos :-P
[21:19] <daftykins> just finished Adrian Black's IBM 5170 series earlier today, that was some hard work
[21:20] <daftykins> manually fixing the BIOS issues too, neat
[21:28] <zxm-pi> that's showing some real love to a device from a company that really tried to lock down their bios from others
[21:29] <zxm-pi> i was just about allowed into a room that housed an ibm 5170 but i was far too lowly a tech to be allowed near it :-)
[21:29] <zxm-pi> a beating with a stick and sent back to my mitac xt pc :-P
[21:32] <daftykins> one of the comments i think had the best line, "the IBM BIOS is not even 100% IBM compatible"
[21:33] <zxm-pi> an engineer from ibm described themselves as THE experts at making incompatible computers work together and then mumbled (caught by his mic) 'usually our own' :-P
[21:34] <zxm-pi> kids these days don't know how easy they have it with ascii.... :-P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC
[21:38] <daftykins> :D
[21:39] <zxm-pi> when your mistake makes it into zork you know you did something bad :-P
