09:03.52Leedsboudiccas: so I read... it would be useful it if applied to my rent, since it might have meant it appeared before my mortgage went out and therefore stopped me going overdrawn this morning :-(
09:06.01boudiccas:(

09:07.33bilarh_leeds: there seems to be a new transfer type called "ONLINE TRANSFER" as opposed to BACS or something
09:08.02bilarh_mine show up as OTR whereas my wife's transfer still shows up as BAC and that one doesn't show up until 5 banking days have passed
09:10.31boudiccasbilarh_; thats the new system that you're seeing which is gradually being rolled out in teh banking sector
09:11.33bilarh_boudiccas: ah cool... it is kind of stuid that they sit on your money for a few days ordinarily
09:11.41bilarh_when it isn't even real money for gawds sake
09:12.03bilarh_if they had to send a money transport car from one bank to another, i'd be understanding
09:12.10bilarh_but this is just a bunch of bits down a wire
09:12.27bilarh_actually, back in the olden days, did they move gold around or something?
09:13.10boudiccasah, but! they're getting interest on it which is rightfully yours
09:13.27bilarh_yeah, the wankers
09:13.46boudiccashelp, someone please put another shilling in the internet meter, everything is so slowed down this morning
09:14.34boudiccasno idea, but possibly before they had paper money they would've done so
09:15.47jpdsboudiccas: let's shut down Google, then the Internet would go faster
09:16.12bilarh_we need more illegal porn cartoons, that would make the internet go faster

10:56.17wethrinboh
11:14.09Dj_InstincTHave a dead hard drive with click of death - anybody here done a DIY on 'professional hard drive recovery'?
11:15.06Dj_InstincTthink will just send it away...
11:16.14Dj_InstincTanywhere in london I can take hard drive to recovery?
11:18.01AndyMillarDj_InstincT: freezer sometimes works
11:20.55wethrinThere's a number of places - check the Gllug archives, as it has been covered before
11:21.40Dj_InstincTAndyMillar: funny you should say that - i mentioned to somebody I heard that works when I was talking about something else but failed to3D put 2 & 2 together :)
11:21.56Dj_InstincTwethrin : of to search archives cheers ;)
11:40.39Dj_InstincTreceieves a few funny looks as I ask if we have a freezer compartment as I need to fix a hard drive 0_o
11:43.28wethrinheh
11:43.39wethrinIf you do, get the data off quickly, and bin the drive
11:43.48wethrinAlso, put the drive into a sealed plastic bag
11:44.18wethrinBut at least you have backups
11:45.20bilarh_it will be great when you take it out, stick it in your machine and teh cold harddrive causes water to condensate on it and short it and you get magic smoke pouring out of your computer case :)

11:53.45Dj_InstincTheh - it;s in a external usb case - said usb case met floor apparently with quite a bump - I don't have much faith - it makes noise when turning upside down :o
11:54.33Dj_InstincTwethrin: it's not mine ;) off course _all_ my data is backed up
11:54.37Dj_InstincTwhistles
11:54.58wethrin:)
11:55.02wethrinoh
11:55.11wethrinThat may not be fixable with a freezer thing, then
11:55.20AndyMillarindeed :(
11:55.25wethrinIf something's physically broken, it's time to find a lab with a cleanroom and open it up
11:55.30Dj_InstincTyeah I figure it probably physical
11:55.35AndyMillarwethrin: i said that to someone yesterday :(
11:55.46Dj_InstincTyeah looking at about 250 UKP
11:55.50wethrinOw
11:55.51AndyMillarUSB HDD hit the floor and *dead8
