| zxmpi | could mount those into a cardboard box side to fit the window better? | 14:52 |
| penguin42 | quite probably, the initial thing was to extend it | 18:52 |
| zxmpi | as long as it does it's job sunday to wednesday | 19:18 |
| zxmpi | still 23c here indoors in the shade and feels awful even with a nice breeze from a fan | 19:19 |
| daftykins | :< | 19:20 |
| daftykins | Monday is set to be hellish here, big job is then as well D: | 19:20 |
| daftykins | also hi! | 19:20 |
| zxmpi | went for a short walk earlier. not a leaf stirring on a tree or bush | 19:20 |
| zxmpi | i thought uk had a code red weather alert. don't travel unless necessary? | 19:21 |
| daftykins | i just noticed some packets of dairy milk bars are going soft in my kitchen drawers | 19:21 |
| zxmpi | ireland is code yellow. just about 31-32c. code redneck :-P | 19:21 |
| zxmpi | put them into the freezer if there's space. | 19:22 |
| daftykins | i saw something new the other day, sticky toffee pudding hobnobs | 19:25 |
| zxmpi | haven't seen such here, mind when i go shopping i'm masked up without glasses so i might just not see them | 19:25 |
| daftykins | huh how come you lose the specs? | 19:26 |
| daftykins | sounds like a dangerous way to miss discount chocolate oranges :o | 19:26 |
| zxmpi | because they fog up wearing masks | 19:26 |
| daftykins | oh yeah, tedious that | 19:26 |
| zxmpi | i can smell a discount choccie orange. the skill of the hunt. hearing the crinkle of the cardboard packaging as you move through the shops | 19:27 |
| daftykins | man, i took the switch down to the new floor of the dentists today and the very first port on the patch panel was only giving my laptop 100Mb via autonegotiation, despite testing ok when i terminated it | 19:27 |
| daftykins | hehe | 19:28 |
| zxmpi | lots of talk about roads melting, rails bending and power outages. no mention of internet cabinets failing in the heat | 19:28 |
| daftykins | heh | 19:29 |
| daftykins | sparky hasn't powered up the air con units yet, hope he does first thing on Monday | 19:29 |
| daftykins | gotta haul down all the computers tomorrow, to avoid Monday's heat, maybe i should get up early and make a start | 19:30 |
| daftykins | had another window smashed last night, but the police arrested the guy \o/ | 19:30 |
| zxmpi | replacement glass AND an aircon unit damaged i think :-P | 19:30 |
| daftykins | oh i timed my sentence badly, the window was my home one | 19:31 |
| zxmpi | you've mentioned home windows getting broken by drunken louts before so i assumed it was same | 19:31 |
| daftykins | mmm this was #3 | 19:32 |
| daftykins | although my neighbour had his done too, not long ago | 19:32 |
| daftykins | May iirc | 19:32 |
| zxmpi | get a perspex cover. my brother did that after he had a breakin. in his own words, they weren't coming through that window angain :-P | 19:32 |
| daftykins | i have a layer on the inside as a kind of poor man's double glazing, it was smacked so hard it ripped the screws out down one side | 19:33 |
| zxmpi | hope you bring a small fan paper or electric with you on sunday and monday so you don't get stuck in an office with hot unmoving air | 19:34 |
| daftykins | we'll just beg the sparky to get the AC running i'm sure :D | 19:35 |
| zxmpi | if he's not off investigating a 'fault' at customers site with the biggest most powerful aircon for a day or 3 | 19:36 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:38 |
| zxmpi | bringing a cooler instead of his usual toolbox :-P | 19:39 |
| daftykins | i'll keep my eyes peeled | 19:41 |
| daftykins | funny one with that bad cable termination, i bet whichever end i pick to try redoing first, it'll be wrong | 19:41 |
| zxmpi | sods law | 19:41 |
| daftykins | ok time for an early night, g'night \o | 19:56 |
| daftykins | gl surviving the heat! | 19:56 |
| zxmpi | o/ | 19:56 |
