@DustinB3403 Am from the correct side of the pond, can confirm.

Sorry though from what you said you were asking if it was a switch, not just a lot of POE's linked together

so we're in agreement @DustinB3403 needs to be clearer? noted.

50 min gym session over lunch, then shower and wolfing down food...and I'm back at my desk...more xerox printer issues.

Did I ever mention I hate Xerox..?

We all do. I had them order Canon's and have finally convinced them of their value. Thank god.

Yeah, I started in November...been trying to persuade them to get ANYTHING else...but no luck so far...got 3 different xerox's now...

@scottalanmiller Morning boss, just had breakfast...had to scrape snow off my car this morning, and snowed most of my drive in...but a bit of blue sky has appeared now!

Mostly CS:GO and R6 Siege this weekend - but was away for most of it (long weekend in the UK)! Got a LAN at work this Friday so should be fun!

catching up on 4 days away from ML

Easy basically, free stuff from xByte (http://mangolassi.it/topic/9039/xbyte-swag), America had to work yesterday, stuff kept breaking and SAM tried new stuff

Deploying my 2nd Citrix Server to the farm for testing

The goats and cows will probably like the ability to work remotely.

the pigs were getting BOAR-ed with the old system...the chickens were getting broody about the old system...

@MattSpeller I mean hey...if you want to rearrange it for another type of present....be my guest...

just cleared out one of our storerooms...apparently it's going to be redone and will be our new office...

Don't feel bad, my office is the shipping dock.

hah at least you get fresh air...the room is about 2-2.5 metres wide, and about 6-7 metres long...3 of us will be in it with 3 main desks, 2 build desks and full shelves along one of the walls...cost to say the least! Hopefully they'll have a ventilation system :')

Yeah it'll be a rectal vent, it's gonna smell great in there...

yeah :') but apparently we're gonna get a new biometric system on the door...and we'll probably rig up a sound system inside as we're separated off from everyone else...

@wirestyle22 don't get me wrong, it'll be nice to have our own area and storage etc...but the smell and space....hah :')

One of the support vessels is being called Boaty McBoatface as a tribute and it's being registered in the Falkland Islands

Better they call it David Attenborough than some of the other "real person" choices. One was some kid w/ cancer... I mean, WTF is some sob story kid doing getting nominated to have a marine research vessel named after them???

yeah, especially since the girl died this week...like, do you really want a constant reminder of that, plus the fact hardly anyone knows the kid, and they did nothing for science...

I'm very anti-sob story. everybody has problems, that doesn't make you special.

It fills my heart with joy to know that Boaty McBoatface will be there alongside the big ship

yeah same...like, you're basically riding the coat-tails of someone else's misery/reminding yourself of a shit time in your life over and over..? That's verging on a mental illness...

Yeah, a nice tribute at least...

@mlnews those are terrifying....

Somebody build me one of these:

OMG! i'm so willing to try that when I get some spare cash. Going to bookmark that page!
Great idea too using the External caddys to make the case out of.

The only change I would make is to find a wifi controller or get a USB-wifi adapter for use with it.

or use a Pi 3 with WiFi as standard...

Hello.

Today is going to be a long one.......I can feel it in my bones!

Don't say that! Now I don't want to do windows updates today...

It'll be fine
waits in the darkness to see how it goes

@scottalanmiller ahahaha I know just playing devils advocate

//being awkward

True life lesson here...

just beat someone 2-1 at pool, good lunchtime...

@dafyre Love that show :')

@thwr not seen that one yet, but tbh I've never touched Linux so would have been a guess...and I'd probably have guessed where tbh...

Weird that there are two questions the same..
Worrying that there are still people getting them both wrong (I assume - yes, I know in theory they 25% could have answered that one first and got the other right, and that 30% had answered the other first and got the first one right...but that means 55% didnt know it to start with....)
