[10:14] <daftykins> morning gang
[12:05] <zxmpi> o/
[12:08] <penguin42> hey
[12:08] <daftykins> best hit the road again shortly and go on some visits, i've only swapped 2 out of 4 HDDs in a NAS at once place so far, more to do!
[12:08] <daftykins> penguin42: \o
[13:03]  * m0nkey_ grumbles .. bloody millennials and their damn tebibytes
[13:04] <m0nkey_> In my day, we used base 2 for storage
[13:05]  * zxmpi pats my 2mb psion and tells it to ignore the silly techie :-P
[13:07] <m0nkey_> When I ask for a 2TB LUN, I expect 2TB or 2199023000000 bytes .. don't give me 1.81TB (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
[13:08] <m0nkey_> Back in the day, your 2MB Psion had 2MB, not 1.81MB lol
[13:27] <zxmpi> can you imagine the row if it had been 1k short of 2mb :-)
[13:34] <zxmpi> the rounding off of bytes really annoys me at hard disk levels. 2tb drive is short 19gb. that's a lot of space
[14:13] <diddledani> m0nkey_: you can't count - ITYM 2199023255552
[14:15] <m0nkey_> That's 19GB of goat pictures I COULD HAVE SAVED lol

[14:23] <zxmpi> i've always thought there was place in the market for a goat alarm clock :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlYlNF30bVg
[17:43] <daftykins> that was cool, dropped in on that client and their new PC had arrived, so i set that up this afty
[17:44] <daftykins> hell of a headwind cycling up there :o 
[17:44] <zxmpi> ...on a friday... are you mad?! :-P
[17:44] <daftykins> ah it was great, practically nobody there... total peace and quiet
[17:44] <daftykins> *and* i could walk 100m around the corner to a Costa branch and get myself a coffee + treat to sit there and enjoy
[17:54] <daftykins> i wonder if that YouTuber will stream having a first look at my pal's graphics card tonight, he tends to stream late Fridays
[17:54] <daftykins> all he has to do is desolder a MOSFET and then see if the shorts disappear first of all
[20:48] <daftykins> lol, how's this for a funny one...
[20:49] <daftykins> some of you may know of the hassle i suffer at weekends down here due to my house being on a lane which has turned into a drunkard ratrun over the past 8.5 years i've been here... an old friend's brother just asked me what it's like to live here as the house next door is on the market
[20:50] <daftykins> i've suggested he drop in after his viewing :D
[20:50] <zxmpi> could pour out something stinky on warm clear weekends it's likely to be a party zone. something that will disperse by morning
[20:51] <daftykins> hehe
[20:51] <zxmpi> i recommend boiling parsnips. me and the cat used to sit in the garden till the whiff left the house. might work for a confined space
[20:52] <daftykins> amusing seeing the price they're asking mind, a good £50k above what i paid for mine
[20:52] <zxmpi> prices have gone up a lot
[20:54] <daftykins> mmhmm
[20:54] <daftykins> i'd love to be able to escape
[20:55] <zxmpi> buy all the helium balloons in the village and attach them to the house...
