Good Morning GBR
GBRedneck
14:10:34

NotNozireV
14:14:01
Great, great, great getting so much done right now
NotNozireV
14:14:05
And you?
GBRedneck
14:15:36
painful day today
NotNozireV
14:15:43
Network issues?
GBRedneck
14:17:37
just lots of silly little things
NotNozireV
14:22:07
Yesterday IMDB, Netflix, Steam, Nest, etc, etc went offline
GBRedneck
14:22:27
i saw, but more importantly strava was really slow
NotNozireV
14:22:38
oh no!
GBRedneck
14:23:32
whats the plan for today?
NotNozireV
14:23:45
My wink hub was flashing red and blue for most of yesterday morning
NotNozireV
14:23:48
I have video :D
NotNozireV
14:24:35
Well, the plan for today is work hard, make money and occasionally goof off to pass time
NotNozireV
14:26:12
BTW, my article got retweeted 3 times, that's a new record!
GBRedneck
14:28:05
new article?
NotNozireV
14:29:30
oh my god. you didnt notice?
NotNozireV
14:29:35
I posted one yesterday
NotNozireV
14:30:11
You really should be on top of these things :P
GBRedneck
14:30:52
i have to admit i've not been on irc as much this weekend as normal
GBRedneck
14:31:30
and spent most of yesterday on the xbox
GBRedneck
14:31:36
which didnt go down for a change
NotNozireV
14:35:12
I wasnt here at all because I was at the ocean sand thing. By the way, the city decided to take away the rocks from my favorite beachside spot. Grrr...
NotNozireV
14:35:22
Major bummer bro
NotNozireV
14:36:27
oh cool I have a new follower.
NotNozireV
14:36:37
'sexadultere' lol
NotNozireV
14:36:52
oooh and BokshaTv
GBRedneck
14:37:56
they sound like sensible people
NotNozireV
14:39:49
Atleast they cared enough about the great content I provide to follow me
NotNozireV
14:39:51
...or they're spam bots
NotNozireV
14:46:53
What I imagine OzNed looks like ->
NotNozireV
14:47:12
"Such fuss"
NotNozireV
14:53:37
and I'm thinking "Well, no sh ...I mean crumpets and tea! If a fix wasnt on the way they'd be really screwed wouldnt they?"
NotNozireV
14:54:53
I don't know if I can say shit here
GBRedneck
14:55:03
you can say what you like
GBRedneck
14:55:09
have not watched any of their shows.
NotNozireV
14:58:27
lol ...okay
NotNozireV
15:06:44
It was 108-110f yesterday
GBRedneck
15:08:47
oh no that sounds aful
GBRedneck
15:08:51
awful even
NotNozireV
15:11:51
It was brutal
GBRedneck
15:13:35
that a/c unit must be running overtime
NotNozireV
15:14:37
oh it was
NotNozireV
15:16:33
So much that Bill Nye was on a ball crying over all the greenhouse gasses being released by it
GBRedneck
15:33:36
lol sorry just fixing my helpdesk here with tech support
GBRedneck
15:34:33
hmmm not been able to get access, 57 calls logged today :(
NotNozireV
15:39:26
Yikes
NotNozireV
15:39:35
Is it because of the skype issue?
GBRedneck
15:39:37
most are just backups working
GBRedneck
15:39:45
the software logs a call to say complete
NotNozireV
15:40:19
oh I see what you're saying
GBRedneck
15:41:50
bloody thng has been down since last night when it ran an osx update
GBRedneck
15:42:30
gumsmcdrop was the chap i couldnt remember the name of
NotNozireV
16:13:44
Ah yes him
GBRedneck
16:45:13
did you ever hear from him?
NotNozireV
16:53:19
The smart ones saw the writing on the wall and left :D
NotNozireV
16:57:24
I finally got my Canon Camera Piggy Bank 30 days later after I ordered it on Aliexpress. Its a shame I'm giving it away as a gift lol

NotNozireV
20:18:33
#Monday
GBRedneck
20:21:50
nice even
GBRedneck
20:21:54
still working here as well
NotNozireV
20:23:23
Did the Skype outage cause customers to freak out today?
GBRedneck
20:24:53
who in the real world uses skype"?
GBRedneck
20:25:04
its been shite ever since MS got rid of msn messenger
NotNozireV
20:25:22
Forgot about msn messenger
NotNozireV
20:26:07
Of course I live in America so I just assume everyone in the world uses skype for all communications :D
NotNozireV
20:26:24
How is Viber doing in your part of the world?
NotNozireV
20:26:31
"Whats Viber?" lol
GBRedneck
20:26:44
heard of it dont use it
GBRedneck
20:27:17
you dont use skype do you?
NotNozireV
20:28:08
No, never found the use for video chat anyway and audio is delayed
NotNozireV
20:28:27
I use to rely on to for IM many years ago though
NotNozireV
20:28:54
*a use
GBRedneck
20:29:05
i was always a fan of MSN
GBRedneck
20:29:11
used to use trillian
GBRedneck
20:29:19
been through all that sort of thin
NotNozireV
20:29:25
Trillian was the best
GBRedneck
20:29:33
i even bought trillian
NotNozireV
20:29:45
Its amazing how quickly IM died
NotNozireV
20:29:46
Weird
GBRedneck
20:30:04
yup, and how IRC has come back into fashion
GBRedneck
20:30:19
i used to play Star Wars Galaxies, and that was the last time i used IRC
NotNozireV
20:30:25
Yeah that too
GBRedneck
20:30:37
then #twit and then #drama
GBRedneck
20:30:42
and you know the rest from there
NotNozireV
20:30:57
IRC went the way of USENET for a few years
GBRedneck
20:30:58
i do have a skype account, but only so i can get a US telephone number
NotNozireV
20:31:29
I managed to get a few cool numbers from google voice
GBRedneck
20:31:37
$60 a year for a 702 number
GBRedneck
20:31:44
and unlimited calls to the US
NotNozireV
20:32:02
How is the delay?
GBRedneck
20:32:17
sounds awesome to me tbh
GBRedneck
20:32:23
better than UK landlines
NotNozireV
20:32:26
Whenever I used Skype the calls were delayed by 3-5 seconds
GBRedneck
20:32:27
and the funny thing
GBRedneck
20:32:32
i actually use ringcentral
NotNozireV
20:32:49
I think I have a free ringcentral account lol
GBRedneck
20:32:59
they dont do free accounts in the UK
NotNozireV
20:33:27
Yeah they scrapped it for the 30 day trial but I believe the grandfathered in the free accounts
NotNozireV
20:33:37
I don't remember my password though so meh
GBRedneck
20:36:50
oh well its not that great a product
GBRedneck
20:37:01
i will be cancelling at the end of the year.
NotNozireV
20:40:41
In what sense? What should I watch out for if I ever consider their product?
GBRedneck
20:40:57
expensive well it is here in the UK
NotNozireV
20:41:38
ooh okay
GBRedneck
20:46:12
and i mean really expensive like $40 a month
NotNozireV
20:46:25
That's overkill
GBRedneck
20:47:12
and thats the price for 12 months paid in one lump sum
NotNozireV
20:47:16
I don't see how they can justify those costs for what they do.
GBRedneck
20:47:30
its nearer $60 a month if you just pay monthly
NotNozireV
20:47:50
They just provide voice mail right?
GBRedneck
20:48:09
for $40 a month i get 1000 minutes of calls to moviles or landlines
GBRedneck
20:48:19
*mobiles
NotNozireV
20:49:28
That's insane
NotNozireV
20:49:28
How many numbers do you get?
GBRedneck
20:49:56
1 land line and 1 fax line
GBRedneck
20:50:01
oh and a DDI
GBRedneck
21:00:40
used to run it
NotNozireV
21:01:47
Interesting
GBRedneck
21:03:33
very strange
GBRedneck
21:03:38
though not much need for it in the UK
NotNozireV
21:03:47
lol true
GBRedneck
21:03:53
a single tub of it would last a decade in the UK
NotNozireV
21:07:08
I'm sure Chad would be a fan of something like this, after all he did drink city runoff water not too long ago :D
GBRedneck
21:09:42
i do fancy this though
NotNozireV
21:10:42
The drinkable sunscreen?
NotNozireV
21:11:11
Oh that is genius!
GBRedneck
21:11:23
now that does look cool i have to say
NotNozireV
21:11:25
A bit expensive a night though
GBRedneck
21:11:49
really?
GBRedneck
21:12:31
in the UK we pay £80 a night for an average hotel, so what $140
GBRedneck
21:13:08
and for something that cool i'd be prepared to pay a premium, plus its in yosemite, and after seeing the normal prices we've paid staying in National parks i dont think thats too bad
NotNozireV
21:13:54
That's a good point
NotNozireV
21:14:09
Plus you can fit 4 people in there
GBRedneck
21:14:13
indeed
GBRedneck
21:14:29
what do you think of those new amazon budget tablets
GBRedneck
21:14:36
looks quite cool i have to say.
NotNozireV
21:15:27
What is the screen like?
NotNozireV
21:15:30
I havent seen them
NotNozireV
21:15:35
Is it like the Kindle?
GBRedneck
21:16:03
7" IPS display
GBRedneck
21:16:11
buy 5 get one free
GBRedneck
21:16:13
literrally
NotNozireV
21:16:22
lol the packaging is nice
NotNozireV
21:16:56
The camera seems like a waste of time/money
NotNozireV
21:17:09
I doubt anyone would be using these to do video chat
GBRedneck
21:17:29
you never know these days
NotNozireV
21:18:33
I got a tablet 2 years ago and its still collecting dust. I suppose If I traveled more I'm sure I would be interested in them.
GBRedneck
21:18:43
i use my ipad a ton
GBRedneck
21:18:54
love the thing, i also bought tesco hudl
GBRedneck
21:19:00
a few months ago, it was cheap
NotNozireV
21:19:15
iPAD is a work of art. I had one for about 2 weeks
NotNozireV
21:19:32
It was very sturdy and well made
NotNozireV
21:20:03
So, what do you use the ipad for?
NotNozireV
21:20:11
I'm use to just using my phone when I'm away
NotNozireV
21:20:14
used*
GBRedneck
21:20:16
email, and some gaming
NotNozireV
21:20:41
Sending email?
GBRedneck
21:20:50
yeah, far easier than the iphone
NotNozireV
21:21:40
I see what you're getting at, the buttons are easier to see and access
GBRedneck
21:21:56
i use it for the home automation, and i have a bundle of presentations for home automation
GBRedneck
21:22:26
selling and the like
GBRedneck
21:22:34
i am fully sold up on the whole apple thing
GBRedneck
21:24:52
my only real whinge is that my sonos doesnt integrate so well with itunes

21:27:36

NotNozireV
21:28:03
Problem with controls?
db
21:28:04
<< Leaves the chat room
GBRedneck
21:28:25
i would just like to able to stream from my itunes on my mac to the sonos
GBRedneck
21:28:28
but i cant!
NotNozireV
21:29:02
How are you connecting to your mac from the snos?
GBRedneck
21:29:10
i dont
GBRedneck
21:29:28
i use my music library on the NAS, but its a pain in the arse having to make up playlists
NotNozireV
21:30:06
oh I thought you were using bluetooth or something like that
GBRedneck
21:30:06
to be honest its the sonos that causes all the issues, they wont even issue ethernet commands to control the thing
NotNozireV
21:31:12
That sucks
GBRedneck
21:32:38
did you see kickstarter inc is now kickstarter PBC?
GBRedneck
21:32:52
a public benefit corporation
GBRedneck
21:33:01
whatever the hell that is
NotNozireV
21:33:20
Hmmm. I wonder if they are trying to get tax free status
NotNozireV
21:33:29
almost sounds like a charity lol
NotNozireV
21:35:46
What a weird title
GBRedneck
21:36:50
BTW would you like a free livedrive account?
GBRedneck
21:36:53
unlimited backup?
NotNozireV
21:37:40
Nah, I'm good but thanks though
GBRedneck
21:37:58
i pay for it every couple of years and give it out as a freebie to customers
NotNozireV
21:38:09
oh nice
NotNozireV
21:38:35
I might take you up on the offer later :D but I never use those online backup services
GBRedneck
21:39:38
its not a free one. this costs me like $600 a year
NotNozireV
21:40:09
oh good lord
NotNozireV
21:40:21
I would feel terrible taking it then
GBRedneck
21:40:33
seriously i wouldnt offer if i didnt want to mate
GBRedneck
21:41:08
heck i'll set ya one up
GBRedneck
21:41:11
it doesnt cost me
GBRedneck
21:41:15
and the accounts are unlimited
NotNozireV
21:42:32
I really appreciate it, I'll think about it. I just cannot think of what I would do with one right off the top of my head.
GBRedneck
21:42:45
you should have an email
GBRedneck
21:42:56
i back up all my photos to it
GBRedneck
21:43:04
currently using just over 1.3Tb
GBRedneck
21:44:31
its my wy of adding some value to my customers
NotNozireV
21:44:59
Its a fantastic business strategy.
NotNozireV
21:45:10
Always go above and beyond is what I say
GBRedneck
21:46:06
did i tell you about my bargain the other day?
GBRedneck
21:46:17
well not so much a bargain, as a freebie
NotNozireV
21:46:23
The handheld meter thing?
NotNozireV
21:46:47
What did you get?
GBRedneck
21:46:48
we ordered in 15 HP stream 13 laptops which each came with a licence of office for a year, and a £20 xbox voucher
GBRedneck
21:46:57
split them between myself and the tech at the school
NotNozireV
21:47:04
That is awesome!
GBRedneck
21:47:12
so i've got the next 3 games i buy for freebies
NotNozireV
21:48:17
Congrats!
GBRedneck
21:49:00
by the way i have no access to the backup account.
GBRedneck
21:49:28
its amazing how much people back up when its free
NotNozireV
21:50:03
lol I would imagine it would be like getting 5 years of free storage
NotNozireV
21:51:04
I stopped looking at my analytics stats. Its just way too much spam to filter out.
NotNozireV
21:51:19
You have an xbox one?
GBRedneck
21:51:52
i do indeed
NotNozireV
21:51:57
Do you have to keep the kinect connected to play?
GBRedneck
21:52:03
one in the guest room and one in the lounge
GBRedneck
21:52:07
i dont have kinect
NotNozireV
21:52:14
Fantastic
NotNozireV
21:52:52
I'm thinking about getting an xbox. This would make my 3rd console purchase ...ever
GBRedneck
21:54:03
i love the one. i never really got on with the ps4
GBRedneck
21:54:13
blu ray playback is great
GBRedneck
21:54:23
the plex client is nice, as is the Gamepass app
GBRedneck
21:55:34
and the backwards compatibility sounds awesome when it releases in November i think
NotNozireV
21:55:48
What releases?
NotNozireV
21:56:08
The Xbox 5?
GBRedneck
21:56:10
the update to the xbox one interface,
GBRedneck
21:56:24
its gone through a couple of changes and just keeps getting better
GBRedneck
21:56:44
i like the idea of being able to play the library of xbox 360 games on the Xbox one
NotNozireV
21:58:54
That is a nice feature
NotNozireV
21:59:07
I would imagine
NotNozireV
21:59:43
Would the graphics be better?
GBRedneck
22:00:06
i dont think so
GBRedneck
22:00:21
but it does mean you can access a bundle of cheaper old games
GBRedneck
22:00:38
and take advantage of the free games each month for both the 360 and one
NotNozireV
22:05:51
I've gotta go take care of something but if I don't see you later. We'll catch up tomorrow.
GBRedneck
22:05:58
