| davef | daftykins: you got diddledani's number? | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | just email | 00:30 |
| davef | on telegram shows she was online 7:40pm my time | 00:31 |
| daftykins | there does indeed appear to be life! | 00:33 |
| davef | want me to ping her? | 00:33 |
| daftykins | probably just busy - was only a request for a basic website for a pal's new biz | 00:33 |
| daftykins | if you wouldn't mind, just a confirmation of receipt of said email would be good! i don't think there's any rush on | 00:34 |
| davef | sent | 00:35 |
| daftykins | ty sir! | 00:36 |
| daftykins | all well on your end? have you got a move date yet? | 00:36 |
| davef | all good. just got the confirmation from the rental company my file is good.. key day is May 30th so I guess I'll be moving in a day or two after that. I'm getting in contact with some moving companies to get quotes. | 00:37 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 00:39 |
| davef | I'm happy to know I'm getting out of here | 00:42 |
| daftykins | i'll bet, noisy neighbours are no fun | 00:43 |
| davef | It's not the neighbours | 00:43 |
| davef | It's the landlord I can't stand | 00:43 |
| daftykins | ah | 00:43 |
| daftykins | i had a funny chat with those AWS guys my pal's biz has asked to consult and do some work, today | 00:45 |
| daftykins | they asked if i could run a VM in-house to transfer this database to AWS... so i asked what it ran and what system requirements it had, or whether AWS published a Xen compatible image | 00:46 |
| daftykins | they had no idea on any of those points xD | 00:47 |
| daftykins | i said umm i don't think we need a whole VM to so an SFTP transfer? | 00:47 |
| daftykins | *do | 00:47 |
| penguin42 | but what do they mean by 'transfer this database to AWS' - has it got to land in one of the databases AWS maintains for you? | 00:59 |
| daftykins | proof of concept is solely a transfer to a bucket of theirs to start with, this is the MUMPS medical database that they will then be looking at trying to squeeze into Athena or some other jazz | 01:00 |
| daftykins | we have nothing AWS right now | 01:00 |
| penguin42 | just make sure they get their AWS storage config right so that the entire planet doesn't read it | 01:02 |
| daftykins | :D | 01:02 |
| penguin42 | rclone seems to be popular these days for pushing data into aws or elsewhere | 01:02 |
| daftykins | ah that might come in useful, thanks! | 01:03 |
| daftykins | truth be told we still don't know what format we're being sent, so i told 'em it's too early to design around unknowns | 01:04 |
| penguin42 | nod | 01:07 |
| daftykins | they also haven't spoken to the users they're designing a platform for, so want to convert them into their idea of workflow rather than asking how they work right now | 01:08 |
| daftykins | i said umm guys maybe you should... speak to them? | 01:08 |
| penguin42 | perfectly normal | 01:08 |
| daftykins | hah | 01:09 |
| penguin42 | what I often see in stuff I have to use, is stuff that's been designed to make the life of the admins of the software happy rather than the end users; e.g. HR software that's optimised for the HR dept not the many more users who have to schedule a holiday etc | 01:14 |
| daftykins | hehe | 01:20 |
| davef | Oh sweet! Both the Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs is back on this year in Montreal! :D | 02:01 |
| daftykins | ooh | 02:02 |
| davef | Going to have to go to this.. https://montreal.hahaha.com/en/shows/british | 02:02 |
| davef | Last time I went to that show, it was Jimmy Carr hosting | 02:03 |
| daftykins | never been to any comedy stuff, i saw Dom Joly was over here the other day, but i didn't fancy a public venue | 02:10 |
| davef | seen a few comedians.. jimmy car, sarah millican, ken dodd, norman wizard, kevin 'bloody' wilson, craig charles to name a few | 02:14 |
| daftykins | ooh | 02:14 |
| daftykins | who was your fave? | 02:14 |
| davef | *I mean normal wisdom lol | 02:15 |
| davef | ken dodd was just fabulous | 02:15 |
| davef | but overall, jimmy carr | 02:15 |
| davef | although i got to meet kevin bloody wilson.. he told me to 'get f**ked' and signed my t-shirt lol.. "to dave, get f**ked, kev" | 02:16 |
| daftykins | hah | 02:16 |
| daftykins | not familiar with his work but know the name | 02:16 |
| davef | his music is rather rude | 02:17 |
| diddledani | ello daftykins .. sorry about the lack of response. Been struggling with insomnia the past couple of months where I've been reducing medications | 09:16 |
| davef | diddledani: you are alive! | 10:41 |
| diddledani | just about ;-p | 10:59 |
| davef | i take it you got my message then? | 11:45 |
| diddledani | yup. I was in bed, but I got it | 11:49 |
| davef | When Lidl launches an AWS competitor.. https://www.stackit.de/en | 12:29 |
| penguin42 | I was confused, I couldn't see the Lidl link in that? | 12:44 |
| penguin42 | oh I see | 12:44 |
| davef | Check the about us page.. "STACKIT is the digital brand of Schwarz IT and thus part of the IT organization of Europe’s largest retail group, which includes Lidl" | 12:45 |
| penguin42 | it's part of the Schwarz group; and they also own Lidl and Kaufland (whoever they are) | 12:45 |
| penguin42 | hmm, I'm also not seeing how to actually use it - I think it's a ring up and speak to a sales guy | 12:47 |
| davef | I think it's a B2B provider | 12:49 |
| zxmpi | if you have to ask you're not big enough :-) | 12:49 |
| penguin42 | but I just wanted a bottle of milk, a block of cheap chocolate and a VM | 12:50 |
| zxmpi | and you'll leave with the milk, a scuba suit and welding gear just like every time you go there | 12:51 |
| penguin42 | but no VM! | 13:35 |
| zxmpi | you didn't see it in middle aisle | 13:36 |
| penguin42 | bah, someone must have got it first | 13:37 |
| zxmpi | you'd think a massive cloud would be obvious to spot | 13:48 |
| penguin42 | it can be difficult to distinguish them in Manchester | 14:30 |
