[10:43] <daftykins> gooood morn!
[10:49] <zxmpi> happy morninginging
[10:50] <daftykins> ah har a youtuber who lives up near Birmingham fancies taking on the challenge of my pal's previously firey graphics card
[10:50] <daftykins> could be a bit of fun to watch a repair livestreamed of an item i've dealt with - at least as a go-between
[10:51] <zxmpi> bonus points if he does it in a wooden pc case :-P
[10:52] <daftykins> hehe
[10:52] <daftykins> "ooh authentic self wood burning"
[10:52] <zxmpi> only next were mad enough to use magnesiu cases :-)
[10:53] <daftykins> comes with a free pair of sunglasses 
[10:53] <zxmpi> and asbestos gloves
[11:00] <daftykins> back to the folks with the upgraded broadband to terminate some network cables and pop in more of the Ubiquiti WiFi access points today
[11:01] <daftykins> left the client with the fun of laying cable, since he's a builder who built the place :D
[11:01] <daftykins> no-one better to know all the possible routes!
[11:02] <zxmpi> remember, no cycling uphill
[11:03] <daftykins> haha yeah, in fact i was just checking out the lazy options to get there
[11:03] <daftykins> pharmacy was full at the end of the day yesterday, so i have to go and pick up that prescription in the next hour really
[11:04] <zxmpi> no looking at unboxing psion videos till then :-P
[11:13] <daftykins> i still haven't done a thing about shipping mine off to RMC, besides possibly earmarking a box to use
[11:14] <zxmpi> i haven't connected mine to pc other than to transfer files. batteries put in end of april still going with 20 hours of use :-)
[11:14] <daftykins> hehe
[11:15] <zxmpi> numbers that make even my nokia go wow
[11:15] <daftykins> i was thinking of leaving a test doc with a message on it, the brand new backup battery should keep that ticking until whenever he unboxed it, but he could take months to getting around to a video
[11:15] <zxmpi> the cr2032 battery should hold the ram for 6 months iirc. but never tested it
[11:15] <daftykins> if it was even deemed worthy (surely it is...)
[11:16] <daftykins> ooh it wasn't such a common battery :D
[11:18] <zxmpi> plus of course it also has a capacitor that will hold the ram for a few minutes which i only found out about when i changed the primary and backup batteries at the same time and found all my data was safe
[11:21] <daftykins> funky
[11:22] <daftykins> hrmm mine seems a lot worse now, the casing is marking my hands grey - and the hinge on one side has now totally let go of the entire screen assembly
[11:22] <daftykins> opening and closing is a gamble
[11:23] <daftykins> i kinda spun the backup battery in the holder to read the CR1620 label, then i had to use the AC adapter as the batteries must be flat (they weren't even charged iirc) it warned me both sets needed replacing
[11:23] <daftykins> and all data was gone
[11:25] <daftykins> ah well, no time to check her out now
[22:39] <daftykins> who wants a kitten update?! https://youtu.be/Tm00f6fOBig
[22:40] <zxmpi> +++breaking mews+++

[23:52] <diddledani> at least is wasn't a duckpic
[23:52] <daftykins> yeah you can get in trouble for those
[23:53] <zxmpi> =^..^=
[23:53] <daftykins> good fun using both hands to set off the purr monsters in tandem
[23:54] <diddledani> wow. that's shocking behaviour. I wasn't even aware dual-purr was even allowed!
[23:54] <daftykins> you have to get a license, yeah
[23:55] <daftykins> the test is purrty strict
