[00:12] <davef> a cool 30C outside
[00:45] <zxmpi> reached 25c here. icky
[00:50] <daftykins> mmm hellish, worse tomorrow
[00:51] <daftykins> must get to bed, another joke of a cyber essentials plus audit is going on shortly
[00:51] <daftykins> g'night!
[00:51] <zxmpi> big fan on. a nice cool breeze blowing across my bed
[00:51] <zxmpi> o/
[00:52]  * davef chills out in his central AC
[04:08] <zxmpi> my rule of thumb is >20c choc ice weather >25c cornetto weather >30c magnum weather. the gun or the ice cream. users choice :-P
[14:06] <daftykins> lol
[14:08] <penguin42> ?
[14:08] <zxmpi> cornettos acquired 
[14:09] <penguin42> oooh
[14:13] <daftykins> ice cream suicide would be a novel one for emergency services though i'm sure ;)
[14:13] <daftykins> i'm imagining a white line on a floor, with a little white line cone to the side
[14:13] <zxmpi> 99mm with cadbury flake :-P
[14:14] <daftykins> hehe
[23:05] <daftykins> holy hell look at this - ONE of LGR's storage rooms in his house: https://youtu.be/pZlIKjYHxxs?t=146
[23:07] <penguin42> nice
[23:09] <penguin42> got rid of most of his CRTs quite some time ago
[23:12] <daftykins> makes you wonder how much space they took up xD
[23:13] <daftykins> my final surviving one is still at my folks place somewhere
[23:14] <penguin42> I didn't have that many; but the Trinitron that came with one of my Sun's was just huge
[23:14] <daftykins> must have been good? :)
[23:15] <penguin42> http://www.treblig.org/daveG/me2002.jpg  you can see 3 of them
[23:15] <daftykins> :D
[23:15] <daftykins> did you ever have their famous optical mouse that required the patterned mousepad?
[23:16] <daftykins> they seem to speak of it on The Register comments a lot
[23:16] <daftykins> or am i thinking of youtube comments, hmm...
[23:16] <penguin42> oh yeh, I've still got one of those mice
[23:16] <daftykins> :D
[23:19]  * penguin42 hasn't had those machines on in decades - I really should get around to it
[23:19] <zxmpi> the fun of monitors so deep that they pushed your keyboard to the edge of the desk :-)
[23:20]  * penguin42 is still working on getting rod of his dads kit; here are his home built valve linears http://www.treblig.org/pics/dadskit/linears/
[23:20] <penguin42> zxmpi: Exactly
[23:21] <daftykins> ooh
[23:21] <penguin42> and still the 60ft tower (which is now down on it's side, but still taking up quite a bit of space) - I *almost* sold it, but the buyer made the mistake of asking his neighbour
[23:23] <daftykins> some kinda super HAM antenna? :)
[23:23] <penguin42> right
[23:23] <daftykins> impressive!
[23:23] <daftykins> must have picked up some far away things
[23:23] <penguin42> I've already sold the electric winches and aerial that went on the top, it's the strumech tower
[23:23] <penguin42> daftykins: Oh yeh, he worked the world on it
[23:24] <daftykins> :O
[23:24] <penguin42> http://www.treblig.org/pics/tower/mast-full-frompath.JPG
[23:24] <penguin42> (That's with it lowered down)
[23:24] <daftykins> did the Thunderbirds theme play when it was extended? ;)
[23:25] <penguin42> no, it was more of a slow whirring sound...
[23:25] <daftykins> xD
[23:32] <zxmpi> should keep linear 2 and add blinky lights :-)
[23:42] <penguin42> I'm not turning that thing on given the multi kv PSU
