09:43.53ChoHagError message fail: print STDERR "Database user role failed\n";
09:44.24ChoHagThat's exactly as useful as 'computer says no'.
09:53.39ChoHagOne of our bin directories is full of jpg files because a client's cronjob got confused where its temp store was.
09:55.55ChoHagI love being a contractor. Never have I seen so much pure fail.
10:10.07wethrinExcept in every other place you've worked?
10:12.42ChoHagThey seem to get progressively worse.

14:46.10dick_turpinwaves his glasses at cbz
14:46.50dick_turpinwethrin: Your just jealous because you've not had an invite to the wedding
14:48.50wethrinNo-one invites me to anything :(
14:50.47dick_turpinThat's because you intimidate everyone with your professorship
14:51.01wethrinI'm only a doctor!
14:52.08dick_turpinShow off
14:52.25dick_turpin"Only" Pah
14:54.08wethrinheh
14:54.57ChoHagCan you use more than one expansion on a variable?
14:55.06ChoHageg. I currently have mac=${1//:/-}; mac=${mac,,}. Can I just do mac=${1<something>} where the something will do both the regex substitution and case modification?
15:03.37dick_turpinwethrin: What's your Doctorate in?
15:05.26wethrinOrganic electronics
15:22.29dick_turpinI was going to figure out some sarky repost but I don't have the energy for the minute
15:25.23wethrinhehe
15:36.23morsingwethrin!
15:36.27wethrinhi
15:39.07dick_turpinwethrin: So here's an internal laugh for you, about two or three months ago I had a play around here with FreeNAS and OpenFiler the idea being to maybe sell it out as part of a solution
15:39.32wethrinyeah...
15:40.37dick_turpinCYB has a little diddy micro box "Pete I have had a good this lot has cost us £95 and Simon says we can put a Linux thing FreeNAS on it and say knock it out at £140"
15:41.19dick_turpin"Erm excuse me, we have had a FreeNAS box on our network for months! How is this a new idea?"
15:41.33dick_turpin"Oh wait silly me"
15:41.47dick_turpin"Its new becuase you thought of it"
15:42.13dick_turpin"or did you steal the idea?"
15:48.12morsing?
15:48.39wethrinheh
15:49.24dick_turpinI really didn't want to come back today :-(
15:49.54morsingWho's Simon?
15:50.10dick_turpinGuy who works here
15:50.15morsingwethrin: Do you get it?
15:50.41wethrinyes
16:02.39dick_turpinwethrin: Did you see my "Ringing round the University's" phone bill message on the Internet?
16:02.47wethrinno..
16:02.53dick_turpin£113.00
16:03.03dick_turpin:'(
16:04.07wethrinouch
16:04.34dick_turpinI've put my mom back on the game to try and pay it
16:04.46wethrinthink bilarh will pay that much for her?
16:05.21dick_turpinSeeing as he never gets any that's a cheap price for him
16:05.27wethrinyeah
16:07.22dick_turpinSo one  of our guys has just come back from a visit. The customer bought 5 Fuji rackmount servers for £75 a pop they are old but not that old all are pretty good apparently and still boxed
16:07.30wethrinthat's not bad
16:07.39wethrinhey, on a more serious note
16:08.09dick_turpinOh go on I was just about to tell a story but it can wait a minute
16:08.26wethrindo you know of an external disk enclosure that can take 6 SATA hard disks?
16:08.38wethrintell your story now :)
16:08.49dick_turpinYeah a server case!
16:10.38wethrindick_turpin: http://tinyurl.com/38fhr9e - something like that, maybe
16:11.01wethrinbut just the case
16:11.19dick_turpinhttp://tinyurl.com/36oo48o
16:11.52wethrinRight. I'm not paying a grand for that
16:11.54dick_turpinOoh Qnap I sold one of those a couple of months back
16:13.30dick_turpinwethrin: There is this http://tinyurl.com/3xpw2ehbut its only 4 bays
16:14.10dick_turpinOf course you could get that then daisy chain a 2 bay off it.
16:14.32wethrinTrue
16:14.59dick_turpinfeels like he is dealing with one of his cheap and nasty customers
16:15.17wethrinI am cheap
16:15.19wethrinbut I'm not nasty!
16:15.30dick_turpinThe solution is nasty
16:15.40dick_turpinBut it would work
16:16.23dick_turpinYou'd lose a little bit on through-put but hey look at what you'd save in pounds shillings and pence
16:17.05morsingdick_turpin: What's for tea?
16:17.26dick_turpinSausage, mash peas and gravy
16:17.55morsingOh, Sharon is cooking for you?
16:18.19dick_turpinSharon is certainly letting me stick something in the oven
16:18.37wethrinbuns?
16:19.06dick_turpinIf I play my cards right I may get to pop something in the grill as well
16:22.48morsingNice
16:23.04dick_turpinMakes me smile
