16:30.25 | DiscordianUK | i know zilch about doze really |
16:30.32 | Armand | hehe |
16:30.41 | Armand | I pwn WinXP. :P |
16:30.46 | Armand | ^_^ |
16:31.06 | DiscordianUK | laughs |
16:31.24 | DiscordianUK | i find windows contra-intuitive |
16:32.25 | Armand | I hate the way each version has to change SOMETHING that you wish they really wouldn't FUCKING CHANGE.. >_< |
16:32.39 | DiscordianUK | haha |
16:32.50 | DiscordianUK | like vista does? |
16:33.03 | Armand | Dunno.. used it for all of 10 seconds. |
16:33.18 | Armand | I mean shit like.. network settings, DOS commands, etc. |
16:33.22 | DiscordianUK | i've a copy on my laptop |
16:33.29 | Armand | eeewww... BURN IT! |
16:33.48 | DiscordianUK | i put linux on it as soon as i got it |
16:33.57 | Armand | Good boy.. |
16:34.11 | Armand | throws DiscordianUK a doggie biscuit. |
16:34.17 | Armand | ^_^ |
16:34.28 | DiscordianUK | there's not much here that runs doze by default |
16:34.57 | Armand | Well, all my main PCs run WinXP.. anything else gets Fedora. |
16:35.22 | DiscordianUK | everything runs fedora |
16:35.42 | DiscordianUK | some run os x and/or opensolaris |
16:35.54 | AndyMillar | i have new work :o |
16:36.09 | DiscordianUK | good for you |
16:36.18 | DiscordianUK | i'm working on that |
16:36.58 | AndyMillar | :p |
16:37.08 | Armand | I got some nice PC bits the other day. :) |
16:37.33 | DiscordianUK | what kind of bits? |
16:37.37 | AndyMillar | DiscordianUK: where are you looking? |
16:37.50 | Armand | A Sun 711 drive cage, SGI Challenge Vault L, Legend QDI Dual P2 440BX EATX motherboard, 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1, 32MB I think.. |
16:37.59 | DiscordianUK | london,kent |
16:38.05 | Armand | A HP i960-based SCSI card, an Adaptec 3944UWD (I think) |
16:38.13 | AndyMillar | what sort of jobs? |
16:38.19 | AndyMillar | (i know a windows sysadmin one going ;)) |
16:38.22 | DiscordianUK | sysadmin |
16:38.24 | AndyMillar | hides |
16:38.33 | DiscordianUK | i don't do windows |
16:38.40 | Armand | Loads of 4GB SCSI drives, SCA and 68p.. and 5 9GB U160 68p. :) |
16:38.54 | AndyMillar | DiscordianUK: every recruiter I speak to dispairs at people who "don't do (windows|linux)" |
16:39.08 | DiscordianUK | i won't lie about my minimal windows skills |
16:39.17 | DiscordianUK | laughs |
16:39.26 | Armand | I've been using Windows of years.. and I'm still learning linux. |
16:39.43 | DiscordianUK | at my level no windows isn't a problem |
16:40.11 | DiscordianUK | No one would employ me to do windows |
16:40.15 | Armand | Well, most of my "work" is end-user support.. so that's Windows for sure. :P |
16:40.20 | AndyMillar | wonders what that "level" is |
16:40.29 | DiscordianUK | I know enough windows to get by |
16:40.49 | DiscordianUK | Senior Unix/Linux Sysadmin |
16:40.50 | AndyMillar | realised that that came accross rather cuntish - that wasn't intended :( |
16:41.31 | Armand | lol |
16:46.27 | DiscordianUK | I'm very old |
16:48.46 | DiscordianUK | I have the BOFH nature |
16:49.04 | Armand | ^_^ |
16:49.07 | DiscordianUK | You wouldn't want me near end-users |
16:50.20 | DiscordianUK | At one job I had endless problems with people in one office printing stuff |
16:50.29 | Armand | ffs.. why do people talk about Limp Bizkit.. and then try to talk about music like they have an oppinion worth listening to ? |
16:50.37 | DiscordianUK | So I sent the windows techs |
16:50.41 | Armand | hehehe |
16:50.59 | DiscordianUK | and they couldn't work out why it printed two copies of everything |
16:50.59 | Armand | What.. like "I'm not wasting my time with that!" ? |
16:51.17 | DiscordianUK | so in the end i went |
16:51.32 | Armand | So, the windows techs couldn't fix it ? |
16:51.45 | DiscordianUK | and set number of copies of the laser printer back to 1 |
16:51.50 | AndyMillar | lol |
16:51.51 | Armand | n00bs!!! ¬_¬ |
16:51.55 | DiscordianUK | it was set at 2 |
16:52.07 | DiscordianUK | i was quite rude |
16:52.12 | Armand | I bet. :D |
16:52.13 | AndyMillar | i think i'd send an email around aftr that saying "are you fucking retarded" |
16:52.14 | AndyMillar | :p |
16:52.18 | Armand | hehhee |
16:53.24 | DiscordianUK | The other stupid thing there was mac os |
16:53.29 | Armand | O_O |
16:53.38 | DiscordianUK | One department had a mac |
16:53.41 | Armand | DIE MAC, DIE! |
16:53.46 | DiscordianUK | running OS 8 |
16:53.55 | Armand | hands DiscordianUK a box of grenades. |
16:54.04 | DiscordianUK | The windows team couldn't get it working on the net |
16:54.13 | Armand | surprised ? |
16:54.20 | DiscordianUK | In the end I got asked to look at it |
16:54.33 | DiscordianUK | I'd never seen macOs |
16:54.35 | Armand | Did you take a hammer ? |
16:54.42 | DiscordianUK | it took me 10 minutes |
16:54.45 | Armand | lol |
16:54.52 | DiscordianUK | and they were happy |
16:55.11 | Armand | epp.. |
16:55.13 | Armand | AFK! |
16:55.22 | AndyMillar | DiscordianUK: that's because most windows "techs" are incompetent and only know how to click random buttons |
16:55.40 | DiscordianUK | i let them drive OS 8 |
16:55.56 | DiscordianUK | I simply told em what to put in |
16:56.09 | AndyMillar | (well, that's what I do... i've just been pressing random buttons for 6 years and know how to make my selections less random :p) |
16:57.07 | DiscordianUK | I've run Linux everyweher I've worked this century on my desktop |
16:58.50 | AndyMillar | i've stopped caring |
16:59.23 | DiscordianUK | cygwin makes doze almost usuable |
17:02.29 | Armand | >_< |
17:03.12 | DiscordianUK | though colinux is good too |
17:07.05 | DiscordianUK | i didn't like sfu much |
17:15.33 | kraptv | Dang. I'm on Dawes Road needing to get a modem cable for my landline. |
17:15.58 | kraptv | How do I do such a thing. |
17:16.01 | DiscordianUK | dawes road? |
17:16.11 | kraptv | I dunno! I am lost! help! |
17:16.22 | DiscordianUK | at this time on a sunday? |
17:16.24 | kraptv | maybe I am trapped in a mobile phone. |
17:16.46 | DiscordianUK | i suspect that may not be possible |
17:17.04 | kraptv | anything is possible with EverythingLife from Vodafone. (tm) |
17:17.19 | Armand | lol |
17:17.37 | Armand | I'll stick with my crappy non-internet'd 3G. |
17:18.03 | DiscordianUK | here everywhere closes at 18:00 on a sunday |
17:18.16 | kraptv | ack! |
17:22.42 | z00dax | woo |
17:22.52 | Armand | z00dax! |
17:23.01 | z00dax | wuzup |
17:23.06 | Armand | Nothing. :) |
17:23.19 | DiscordianUK | wyrd |
17:23.38 | Armand | FFS.. aside from this slow-ass camera! |
17:23.41 | Armand | >_< |
17:24.17 | z00dax | ooohh camera |
17:24.33 | z00dax | I've been pondering a camcorder... just cant make up my mind to MiniDV or HDD |
17:24.43 | Armand | Nikon Coolpix L10.. Sloooooooooooooow |
17:25.20 | Armand | I'd go with the HDD version.. no tapes. |
17:25.34 | z00dax | but hdd version is also in mpeg4 format, which isnt nearly as good as DV |
17:25.59 | Armand | Dunno.. just practicality. Don't like tapes. |
17:26.41 | z00dax | record on minidv, usb /firewire it over to computer :D |
17:26.58 | z00dax | I just dont know why minidv is deprecated these days, i am sure there is something wrong with it |
17:27.17 | z00dax | i just find it cheaper, better quality, higher resolution and works just as well as hdd. |
17:28.12 | Armand | Well, whichever suits your needs I suppose.. |
17:29.25 | z00dax | I think it might be a good idea to go chew on some salesguy's brains on TCR one of these days |
17:29.44 | Armand | good luck finding one with brains... :P |
17:30.08 | z00dax | :( |
17:30.20 | z00dax | what might be a decent place to go for this sort of a thing then ? |
17:30.40 | Armand | dunno.. haven't even used a camcorder in about 3 years. |
18:08.09 | ChoHag | In a bush shelter which was broken I saw a small ADSL modem - about 2" square (well - slightly rectangular). |
18:08.27 | ChoHag | Can such a simple device be bought or do us mere plebs have to make do with a 'multifunction' 'router'? |
