GBRedneck

NotNozireV
20:05:25

GBRedneck
20:09:18
been trying to upgrade a windows server with mysql today
GBRedneck
20:09:31
just dont seem to be able to successfully upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5
NotNozireV
20:11:32
errors galore?
NotNozireV
20:11:40
Mysql can be a real PITA
GBRedneck
20:12:40
there doesnt appear to be an easy way to upgrade
GBRedneck
20:13:04
its apparently easy if you want ot go 5.1.1 to 5.1.5
GBRedneck
20:13:11
but 5.1 to 5.5 is a bastard
GBRedneck
20:15:39
whats your opinion on google software
NotNozireV
20:30:11
Its depends
NotNozireV
20:30:22
You mean software like Chrome and Android?
GBRedneck
20:33:47
google photos?
NotNozireV
20:56:34
I never used the online version but I used the one on phone and never really cared for it
NotNozireV
20:56:42
I prefer Gallery
NotNozireV
21:04:38
Sorry making phone calls ATM
GBRedneck
21:05:48
no worries
NotNozireV
21:25:36
*yak* *yak* *yak* *yak*
GBRedneck
21:27:02
lol
NotNozireV
21:29:38
I'm talking to Billy McAmerican from NotIndia
GBRedneck
21:36:26

GBRedneck
21:36:32

NotNozireV
21:36:38
lol
NotNozireV
21:46:58
I'm finally freeeee!
NotNozireV
21:47:00
Yaaaay!
NotNozireV
21:47:17
So anyway, back to Google Photos
NotNozireV
21:47:43
I always prefered Gallery because its easier for me to find photos
GBRedneck
21:50:22
just been reading about the free storage for photos

NotNozireV
21:56:07
I never auto upload my photos to the cloud. I'd rather lose them forever than have it in the hands of google, microsoft, etc
GBRedneck
21:58:00
i keep forgetting you dont trust cloud :P
NotNozireV
22:02:03
lol its not that, its just that I hate everything about tech industry.
GBRedneck
22:02:40
but you work in the tech industry
NotNozireV
22:03:33
yeah but that's different. I like the tech money, not the industry.

NotNozireV
22:04:49
That was a joke. :)
GBRedneck
22:05:15
i know
NotNozireV
22:07:55
I just hate the whole hoodie wearing, skinny jeans wearing, fast talking, pretentious douchebaggery vibe of the industry.
GBRedneck
22:08:17
i dont really notice it, but i work at the arse end of the business
GBRedneck
22:08:20
day to day support
NotNozireV
22:08:22
And the so called tech media is pretty much QVC/Home Shopping Network for Microsoft, Apple, HTC, etc where everything these companies poop out is "awesome!".
GBRedneck
22:09:31
but everything they do is awesome!
GBRedneck
22:09:31
:P
NotNozireV
22:10:15
Oh goody they released another black rectangle that takes photos and makes phone calls. Sooo awesome :P
GBRedneck
22:10:31
actually it was in rose red
GBRedneck
22:10:32
lol
NotNozireV
22:10:38
lol
NotNozireV
22:13:40
I'm not anti technology, I just think the industry can do better and at the path they're going down now, they're doing more harm than good.
NotNozireV
22:14:47
I see the hate in #drama is still strong lol
GBRedneck
22:15:10
just realised i am in there
GBRedneck
22:16:12
didnt even think, just sitting on an old machine tonight
NotNozireV
22:18:09
awww you left :(
NotNozireV
22:19:28
Some ebay buyers can be the worst
GBRedneck
22:19:43
didnt realise i was in there
GBRedneck
22:19:49
who you in as then?>
NotNozireV
22:19:53
Me
GBRedneck
22:19:58
aah ok
NotNozireV
22:21:01
So this idiot buys an item that I listed with free shipping then has the nerve to ask me to send it 2nd day shipping.
NotNozireV
22:22:00
Hey moron! How about asking before buying first?
NotNozireV
22:22:01
Geez
GBRedneck
22:22:07
lol
GBRedneck
22:22:37
i feel like an angel where ebaying is concerned
NotNozireV
22:23:20
I cancelled the order and he got a refund because the last thing I need is this idiot getting the item then claiming I did x, y, z
NotNozireV
22:24:11
After that whole laptop fiasco, I started blocking bidders who ask weird out of the norm questions.
GBRedneck
22:25:00
yeah ebay is a minefield
NotNozireV
22:27:32
Here are a few red flags: If the seller tells you a life story, tries to get you to end early, tries to get you to sell off ebay or asks for a favor outside of the listing, chances are they are going to be problem buyers later on.
GBRedneck
22:27:46
yup
NotNozireV
22:28:27
Even if you tell them no or don't respond, they could buy the item anyway then try to scam you which is why I block them immediately
GBRedneck
22:30:13
i only sell small things on ebay these days
GBRedneck
22:30:18
buy a bit more though
NotNozireV
22:31:52
They've been sending me pretty good offers if I sell which is why I'm even bothering
GBRedneck
22:32:11
i had a few of those 75% off final fees
GBRedneck
22:32:15
emails
NotNozireV
22:32:24
oh nice
NotNozireV
22:32:30
Last time they gave me $100 if I sold a cellphone for over $100
NotNozireV
22:32:54
This time final fees are limited to $5 until the end of Nov
GBRedneck
22:33:14
thats not bad
GBRedneck
22:34:33
we dont seem to get deals like that
NotNozireV
22:35:00
Yeah its weird they're suddenly sending me deals like that
NotNozireV
22:35:03
