05:27:03 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
05:44:11 <steve30> hi Halcyon
05:54:23 <steve30> and bye, as I'm not going to bed :)

06:14:33 <Guest|13172> hello there
06:14:34 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
06:14:34 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Guest|13172!
06:16:39 <Guest|13172> Is Dave making the μCurrent anymore?
06:19:49 <Ampera> Guest|13172, please address questions about EEVBlog store products to the EEVBlog forums.
06:20:00 <Ampera> This is a general discussion channel, we have no current information.
06:21:10 <Guest|13172> No one was talking and I was curious. Figured maybe someone bought one recently.
06:21:42 <Ampera> IRC is, even though instant, often a send and check back later communication medium.
06:22:03 <Ampera> Even though there are people connected, that doesn't mean those people are actively monitoring the chat.
06:22:53 <Guest|13172> Ah. I did not realize. Haven't used it since the 90s. Used to be instant all the time. Thank you for letting me know Ampera. Have a nice day.
06:23:08 <Ampera> ciao

15:28:10 <ServalSpots> How's the etc?

18:12:32 <steve30> ooh, a toasted sammich
18:31:01 <Halcyon> :D
18:36:30 * steve30 nibbles on Halcyon
18:38:57 <Halcyon> :-)
18:39:02 <Halcyon> My dot matrix printer arrived
18:39:12 <Halcyon> I'm just getting it out of the box and setting it up
18:41:19 <steve30> yay dot matrix printers :)
18:43:52 <steve30> I'm going to go out on the bike later
18:44:47 <Halcyon> In your latex?
18:45:16 <steve30> no, although i gather some fetishists are crazy enough to do that
18:47:04 <Halcyon> Mmmm fresh ink ribbon
18:49:41 <steve30> is your printer colour or mono?
19:02:37 <Halcyon> Mono
19:02:44 <Halcyon> It just printed its first test page ever
19:02:48 <Halcyon> Worked like a dream
19:02:51 <steve30> :)
19:02:57 <Halcyon> 24-pin too :)
19:06:17 <Halcyon> My only issue is, I don't have a parallel port print server
19:12:55 * steve30 suggests printing directly to the parallel port
19:13:05 <Halcyon> I don't think my machine has a parallel port
19:13:10 <Halcyon> Also, I want it on the network
19:13:21 <Halcyon> I have an "old" JetDirect server, but it's USB only.
19:13:45 <Halcyon> Although I just found these: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Axis-Communications-Axis-5400-Network-Print-Server-0130-001-03/254198268194?hash=item3b2f65c122:g:ycAAAOSwgbBcsUuO
19:14:57 <steve30> that might work
19:15:09 <Halcyon> Axis are known for making pretty good gear
19:17:50 <steve30> I think someone just knocked on the door
19:22:19 <Halcyon> Did you check?
19:22:46 <steve30> well, someone knocked twice, and I think it sounded like our front door
19:24:26 <Halcyon> Did you check twice?
19:24:49 <steve30> I heard the knock twice
19:25:01 <Halcyon> So you didn't check
19:25:40 <steve30> I don't have a window in the front door and/or CCTV do its hard to be sure.
19:27:36 <K> hello
19:28:56 <Halcyon> But Steve... generally if there is a knock at the door, you open it and see who it is?
19:29:41 <steve30> Nah, if I'm not expecting someone, its usually a salesman or a lazy courier who expect me to do their job for them. So I normally don't bother.
19:30:02 <Halcyon> What if he was gorgeous?
19:31:18 <steve30> they seldom ever are
19:31:47 <Halcyon> I'd answer if you knocked
19:31:55 <Halcyon> I would invite you in for tea :)
19:31:57 <steve30> :)
19:32:16 <Halcyon> And now that I have a new KitchenAid mixer, scones as well
19:34:13 * steve30 lurks around Halcyon's place in cycling clothes
19:36:08 <Halcyon> Ooooh :P
19:42:10 <steve30> I'm off out, bbl
23:23:36 * steve30 returns
23:32:15 <K> did anything interesting happen?
23:32:37 <steve30> not particularly, although it is a nice warm sunny day :)
23:33:46 <K> darn
23:33:50 <K> it is 10 degrees here
23:39:28 <Ampera> morning
23:44:55 <K> yes.
23:45:00 <Ampera> yes
