11:23.37 | ChoHag | Why do companies feel the need to capitalise my email address? |
11:23.54 | ChoHag | Surely if they really wanted to standardise on a particular case it should be lower. |
11:26.53 | wethrin | UPPER CASE IS MORE PROFESSIONAL |
11:31.11 | ChoHag | I see. |
11:31.13 | ChoHag | Sorry. |
11:31.15 | ChoHag | I SEE> |
11:31.40 | wethrin | I would just like to say this: |
11:31.45 | wethrin | BMC Remedy is a STEAMING PILE OF SHIT |
11:32.03 | ChoHag | "IT Service Management Suite" |
11:32.06 | ChoHag | Yup. It is. |
11:32.25 | ChoHag | They might as well just say that on their home page and be done with it. |
11:32.32 | ChoHag | Oh wait. They do. |
11:32.58 | hali | BMC* is utter wank |
11:33.21 | ChoHag | Bah. Meeting. |
11:33.57 | wethrin | It is. |
11:34.30 | wethrin | so, we can't do a case-insensitive search for incidents or users because "It would have cost too much money to develop" |
11:34.38 | wethrin | HELLO. upper($field) - it's not hard |
11:35.11 | wethrin | Also, £15k/year/licence. We have a fair number of these |
11:35.26 | wethrin | For the cost of 2 licences, you could hire someone to write a better system |
11:50.23 | hali | we use otrs |

13:33.29 | kjs | anyone know of a data destruction company in London? |
13:47.42 | dick_turpin | kjs: Hi |
13:57.53 | kjs | hi |
13:58.27 | hali | kjs: iron mountain |
14:02.40 | ChoHag | Are Oracle based in London? |
14:05.08 | kjs | ChoHag: reading |
14:05.24 | ChoHag | Oh. Too bad for y ou. |
14:05.40 | ChoHag | A bit pricey anyway. |
14:06.05 | wethrin | kjs: Go to B&Q. Buy a sledghammer |
14:06.10 | wethrin | have fun! |
14:06.13 | kjs | ChoHag: why would I want Oracle? |
14:06.33 | kjs | wethrin: Yeah, I would, they want a certificate of data destruction |
14:06.50 | kjs | I don't think a youtube video link would sufice |
14:06.55 | wethrin | MS Word has certificates as some of their templates |
14:08.12 | kjs | argh this mouth ulcer is killing me |
14:10.12 | ChoHag | You wanted data destruction didn't you? |
14:10.21 | ChoHag | I think this is reboot number 7 of the installing Windows charade. |
14:10.32 | wethrin | Is this including service packs, etc.? |
14:10.54 | ChoHag | Yes. Getting it installed, updated, virused and put on the domain. |
14:11.14 | wethrin | yeah, seems about reasonable |
14:11.31 | ChoHag | ITYM normal. |
14:12.04 | wethrin | aye |
14:12.18 | wethrin | on the plus side, audio tends to work properly with Windows |
14:12.33 | wethrin | and you can watch Youtube without your browsers have a shitty fit over your CPU |
14:12.37 | ChoHag | True, but for the lack of an emulated sound card. |
14:12.48 | ChoHag | Have you tried ditching alsa for oss? |
14:13.40 | wethrin | I used OSS 15 years ago |
14:13.47 | wethrin | well, not quite |
14:13.56 | wethrin | More than 10, though |
14:14.05 | wethrin | And it worked |
14:14.10 | wethrin | even back in kernel 1.mumble |
14:14.11 | ChoHag | Aye. It works now too. |
14:14.18 | wethrin | sometimes |
14:14.20 | wethrin | on a good day |
14:14.24 | wethrin | if everything goes right with the world |
14:16.48 | ChoHag | Hmm. Apparentyl "I neither have nor want sound support" is not an option in Windows 7. |
14:17.34 | wethrin | just mute the card |
14:17.48 | kjs | W7 keeps BSOD'ing on my home machine |
14:17.51 | ChoHag | I have an icon on the bar telling me I don't have a sound card. |
14:17.58 | wethrin | kjs: You have dodgy hardware. HTH. |
14:18.02 | ChoHag | Sorry. "Audio Output Device". |
14:18.26 | kjs | wethrin: na, think it's sound card driver for my M Audio FW410 |
14:18.57 | wethrin | dodgy hardware :) |
14:19.05 | wethrin | if the drivers haven't been written competently... |
14:19.15 | wethrin | and at a guess they're not WHQL certified |
14:22.18 | kjs | nope |
14:22.27 | kjs | think they are Beta as well |
14:22.32 | kjs | that or no sound though... |
