01:05:47 <flyback> MrMobodies> I am getting HARASSED by these tiny fruit flies
01:05:47 <flyback> <MrMobodies> they either get into my tea and die
01:05:47 <flyback> <MrMobodies> or they whizz around my face
01:05:52 <flyback> they sell indoor bug zappers
01:05:59 <flyback> ones that screw into a light socket etc
01:07:45 <flyback> also those tennis racket zappers work well :p
01:07:55 <flyback> small bugs tend to explode

11:41:02 <Halcyon> Gah, stupid storm.
11:41:10 <Halcyon> Haven't had power for a few hours. I want a shower.
11:46:15 <rust_collector> still better than a bunch of cats

11:52:40 <Agripa3> Windy here but nothing so far. Boston airport had to curtail operations yesterday because of wind.
12:14:55 <flyback> need to make a case for it thoguh and a knob
12:15:03 <flyback> so I am not touching the mains energized wheel
12:15:08 <MrMobodies> Just got back, the disco finished at 12.40am, 40 minutes past what it should have ended by. That's because the barman wanted to sing and do some Karaoke and the crowd loved it.
12:16:06 <MrMobodies> he intervened in the playlist so messed that up a bit but they continued to dance with his choices.

12:18:12 <MrMobodies> I was suppose to go by a Hallween playlist for Halloween songs but the audience didn't seem to want that what was displayed on the screen so demanded their requests instead. So despite the Halloween, it didn't feel like it apart from the odd Blockbuster song.
12:22:00 <MrMobodies> Shame I can't easily upload videos now Imgur is restricted
12:22:07 <MrMobodies> got to find an alternative
12:26:59 <MrMobodies> it all went well

12:29:36 <MrMobodies> I found something unusual
12:32:21 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/k5jT0FYG/Left.jpg
12:32:24 <EEVBot> [url] Left — Postimages | i.postimg.cc
12:32:30 <MrMobodies> Picture too dark so found an older one
12:32:52 <MrMobodies> I labelled those speakers up (Left and right) as in the picture facing camera and guests
12:33:53 <MrMobodies> Now since they brought that block desk stand in I thought the left speaker had a fault, I could hear muffling, no horn 3 months ago.
12:34:11 <MrMobodies> next time I swapped them round, they worked
12:34:41 <MrMobodies> anyway it did it again on that picture with the left labelled speaker to the left
12:34:58 <MrMobodies> swapped them around today and the even the cables I marked up, same problem
12:35:47 <MrMobodies> on that picture, the light column kept on going off during the disco. Swapped power supplies and column and it'd still randomly go off even without the ball ontop
12:35:59 <MrMobodies> Could some kind of electrical interference cause that?
12:36:09 <MrMobodies> it didn't do it today though
12:47:21 <MrMobodies> I forgot to scale it for my own screen request display on the left

12:47:38 <MrMobodies> just added it but more grass in and a logo to the top.
13:02:04 <MrMobodies> Just noticed a big fat fly hovering past me, in November. Never seen that before. They are suppose to be dead at this time of year.

14:12:47 <MrMobodies> Triaging, bl**dy stupid idea... for something serios.
14:12:59 <MrMobodies> I mean with the questionnaires.
14:13:51 <MrMobodies> they are spending all their time working around these stupid forms, that are not their own when they could be using their common sense and be sent to medical training to identify illnessess.
14:15:32 <MrMobodies> They should forgot about the whole "triaging" thing and let the doctors decide for themselves
14:17:32 <MrMobodies> "“It is right that patients should be able to contact their GP practice online – in addition to by phone and by walking in"... That is not what I am hearing. I hear patients are fobbed off at reception, told to go to library to use a stupid app to complete forms and questionnaires where they turn it into a language test
14:18:54 <MrMobodies> also "self care" on the gp's website 3 years after after covid is finished I find so insulting.
15:47:24 <Halcyon> *sigh*
15:47:32 <Halcyon> Almost time to start hiding from trick-or-treaters

16:41:29 <MrMobodies> Mixx v2 works great
16:41:40 <MrMobodies> however the newer version 2.5
16:41:54 <MrMobodies> as soon as they put that dark mode rubbish
16:42:06 <MrMobodies> menu's and everything seems unclear
16:42:19 <MrMobodies> even with the classic skin which makes it light
16:42:24 <MrMobodies> and then issues with the house
16:42:27 <MrMobodies> *touch
16:42:36 <MrMobodies> put v2 back on no issues with touch
16:42:51 <MrMobodies> and seems more responsive
16:43:04 <MrMobodies> I was told y Wayne to give Mixmeister a go
16:43:16 <MrMobodies> when it wanted to install copy protection stuff I thought I'd do a backup
16:44:09 <MrMobodies> Nothing about it needing Pace or Ilock BEFORE the install but after
16:44:14 <MrMobodies> so installed it
16:44:23 <MrMobodies> and this is just taking the piss

16:46:02 <MrMobodies> absolute scumbags
16:46:11 <MrMobodies> they want it all their way
16:46:30 <MrMobodies> that was the first time I started that trial
16:47:37 <MrMobodies> I was considering of buying it but not if it is going to install Sony DRM style rootkit stuff and get the activation wrong.
