[09:19] <diddledani> what are they gonna serve for food at his wake?
[09:39] <zxmpi> anything but that?
[09:55] <diddledani> of course, one might muse that he's now in hell, so all he needs to do now is come back... for love
[09:56] <diddledani> I'm joking .. it's sad that he's died but I always joke about everything
[09:56] <diddledani> morbid humour?
[10:05] <zxmpi> totally normal response for some. but others have bugger all sarcastic detectors and take it wrong way
[10:08] <diddledani> I'm trying to be more empathetic and not assume people take things the same way as me :-)
[10:09] <diddledani> I'm very droll ;-p
[13:20] <davef> Ah, shit. Meat Loaf?
[16:27] <daftykins> aww he missed my Psion still huh? drat
[16:27] <daftykins> i'm starting to think i need to drop an email to suggest he rescue the fudge before it goes bad xD
[16:28] <zxmpi> or he's enjoying the fudge as he researches how to deal with the psion
[16:29] <daftykins> heh yeah, if my note got ignored... an impatient hand diving in to open it up could have ripped it to smithereens given there's nothing left of the hinges
[16:30] <daftykins> just watching now, he does say there's a large backlog... maybe it'll be in the next batch!
[17:42] <zxmpi> it's a psion. it deserves it's own episode. :-)
[17:42] <daftykins> too true
[17:43] <zxmpi> apples newton came about when apple found half their staff were using psion iirc :-)
[17:43] <daftykins> hehehe
[18:04] <daftykins> what's the " 'allo cave dwellers" interruption about o0 https://youtu.be/pg4gaLdjmBI?t=1791
[18:06] <daftykins> ah he messed up his editing
[18:06] <zxmpi> some competition later? find the hidden message
[18:07] <daftykins> someone in the comments nailed it, it should have appeared at 30:21
[18:07] <zxmpi> ah ha
[18:42] <davef> Wow, the Framework laptop just got a little more interesting. They've release the source code for the EC .. https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController
[18:43] <zxmpi> someone is going to buy them for stupid money and kill the project in 5, 4, 3, 2...
[18:47] <davef> I should buy one soon then
[18:47] <davef> I've been waiting for my surface to fail before justifying getting it, but it's still going strong.
[21:17] <penguin42> it looks like they've tweaked an EC set from Chrome
