03:58:52 <steve30> I'm glad the local paper are learning photography :)

06:01:16 <MrMobodies> I looked at that and it reminded me of this old video of an angry squirrel that kept on chasing a home owner where they were forced to capture it in a box.
06:01:53 <MrMobodies> that look on her face reminded me of the squirrel shaking it's head in anger
06:02:04 <MrMobodies> like she didn't expect to be caught

06:08:29 <MrMobodies> Steve30 what do you think of this?

06:09:02 <MrMobodies> When I press say red, the wallwashers and cans change red.
06:09:02 <steve30000> looks goodf
06:09:24 <MrMobodies> Using a little html page
06:09:44 <MrMobodies> and Eventghost via a Keener IR transmitter (to Marmitek IR to RF)
06:10:00 <MrMobodies> Then a DMX command to freestyler
06:10:40 <MrMobodies> 6 DMX cans and 10 wallwashers
06:19:06 <MrMobodies> Streamble very slow

06:32:35 <MrMobodies> i HATE their voices
06:32:58 <MrMobodies> all I am interested is the lighting as that is something I'd do the same for for my disco's.
06:33:39 <MrMobodies> and it's perfect time to test it whilst the barman is executing the karaoke
06:34:07 <MrMobodies> during my disco's I don't have time to test it
06:34:47 <MrMobodies> next steps is to exclude the moving heads from the macro recordings in Freestyler so it leaves it alone when I run macro's
06:40:24 <MrMobodies> Today I finished a long standing issue. I have four Keene IR transmitters and I might put the lights in different places
06:40:33 <MrMobodies> then have to mass edit the config file
06:40:40 <MrMobodies> So I thought of this idea
06:40:41 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/zqLP6SHJ/Keene-IR-Plugins-By-Fixture-Type.jpg
06:41:10 <MrMobodies> Eventghost won't allow me to rename the plugins but found I can do it in the saved config file and it'd work fine
06:42:05 <MrMobodies> so that means I could just change IP address to get it to go out of another transmitter without mass editing things
06:43:56 <MrMobodies> Terribe, Tesco's, big bear supermarket value shopping shopping chain had this saying, "Every Little Helps"... except for their good.
06:44:07 <MrMobodies> oops "except for their food"

06:45:28 <MrMobodies> BBC Watchdog did a comparison of their "Finest" cakes and deserts and found them to be the same as their cheap stuff but packaged in posh packaging.
06:46:21 <MrMobodies> and they can no longer gaurantee organic labels and removed things I want so that's why I call it terrible tesco's.
06:48:21 <MrMobodies> My sister visited on Sunday, the cockerel and hens were resting by the front door and it got up and started to rage for her and she had a right shout at it then it ran away.
06:49:13 <MrMobodies> something I have not been able to do myself to get it to behave
06:49:49 <MrMobodies> but she does have a very loud voice thought

11:11:13 <EEVBot> [url] Businesses scramble to get noticed by AI search - BBC News | www.bbc.co.uk
11:11:26 <MrMobodies> Using AI to RAM content on web users faces.
11:12:25 <MrMobodies> where I get what appears to be a non biased snippet on Google search I'd imagine that'd change when they use it to advertise
11:13:34 <MrMobodies> rather than using the AI to search it
11:13:43 <MrMobodies> "Users are increasingly switching from search engines to AI tools"
11:13:59 <MrMobodies> Increasingly? I still use search and so do many people I know
11:14:26 <MrMobodies> Reminds me of the nonsense in 2023 that "Businesses are moving to the cloud"
11:15:24 <MrMobodies> I want to find my own articles as listed and collected on the search engine without manipulation of it going through AI controlled by someone else.
11:18:03 <MrMobodies> what do you think of that?
13:39:38 <MrMobodies> Steve30 have you ever got a parking ticket from Euro Car Parks?
13:40:16 <MrMobodies> with a valid ticket for breaking no rules?
13:44:03 <MrMobodies> I heard they had been fined £473,000 by the Competitions and Markets Authority a few months ago for failing to hand over information about it's payment systems due to mass complaints.
13:44:17 <MrMobodies> and now they seem to be going after people parking legally
13:44:26 <MrMobodies> like they are taking revenge

13:56:31 <MrMobodies> I don't remember this crap beying possible 20 years ago
13:59:10 <MrMobodies> In car parks back then had machines that'd print out tickets on the entrance. When leaving you'd put that ticket in a machines at the exit through the car window that had barriers in front that would not let you out until you put the money in it.
13:59:55 <MrMobodies> No need for camera's, parking enforcements, DVLA checks, debt collectors and legal action and courts.
14:02:03 <MrMobodies> I just hope this government put a stop to that nonsense and return to the simple ticketing system that involved barriers that won't let you out until you paid by how long you physically stayed on the way out.
