| 10:59.57 | ChoHag | I'm only here to collect my repaired phone because nobody can be at home when UPS call. |
| 11:00.07 | wethrin | bah |
| 11:19.49 | ChoHag | Ah clever. A suggestion to check whether clients are still with us by looking at their home page for our logo. |
| 11:19.52 | ChoHag | That'll never go wrong. |
| 11:19.58 | wethrin | gah |
| 11:20.09 | wethrin | Get a better job! |

| 12:17.45 | ChoHag | disk(s) or RAID controller failure causing disk errors reported by kernel. |
| 12:17.45 | ChoHag | fsck tool can fix errors, but then new errors appear and a partition (either /export used for dumps or /) is remounted read-only, rendering the server non-functional. |
| 12:17.49 | ChoHag | After fsck runs it seems operational for a while, and breaks again in the middle of the night |
| 12:26.32 | ChoHag | 12:17 < mking> Why is our database backup performed on a server which is not supported? |
| 12:26.42 | ChoHag | 12:18 < aksmith> probably because our servers aren't trivial to rebuild, and this makes replacing them difficult, so their upgrades get shelved |
| 12:26.50 | wethrin | ehr? |
| 12:26.53 | ChoHag | 12:20 < mking> It'll be even less trivial when the backup needs to be restored. |

| 14:22.09 | dick_turpin | K thanks, its for a crazy Idea I have for doing a talk at my Lug and you know what perfectionist OSS people are like |
| 14:22.32 | dick_turpin | s/perfectionist/perfectionists |
| 14:30.26 | ChoHag | Debt collector called. |
| 14:30.36 | ChoHag | I told him I'd resolved the situation with the company. |
| 14:31.05 | ChoHag | He said he can't continue with the call unless I continue the security theatre, so I said it's resolved, goodbye, and hung up. |
| 14:31.12 | ChoHag | He called back straight away. |
| 14:34.10 | AndyMillar | heh |
| 14:34.24 | AndyMillar | "I'm sorry, i'm not comfortable giving you that information over the phone" |
| 14:34.37 | dick_turpin | I love it when people say "Can I speak to Peter Cannon please?" and you go "Speaking" and then they want to drag you through all that security shit just to threaten you because you haven't paid your credit card on time. |
| 14:34.53 | wethrin | "How do I know it's you?" |
| 14:35.23 | AndyMillar | wethrin: "you can call our office on ??? to verify it's me" |
| 14:35.34 | wethrin | yeah |
| 14:35.47 | dick_turpin | I sometimes deliberately get the answers wrong makes me laugh how they keep trying and trying |
| 14:36.00 | AndyMillar | (well, so you can ask me to verify that I am who I say I am) |
| 14:36.32 | ChoHag | Heh. Never considered false answers. |
| 14:36.48 | AndyMillar | it's amusing, you can legally ask them to only contact you by post (and not call you) |
| 14:36.59 | AndyMillar | the problem is, they won't do that unless you confirm you are who you say you are |
| 14:37.23 | dick_turpin | AndyMillar: Oh man they hate it that they only have my home number |
| 14:37.31 | dick_turpin | The shit they come out with |
| 14:37.44 | dick_turpin | "We are updati......" NO! |
| 14:37.44 | AndyMillar | and if one of the reasons for not having them call you is because you don't want to give away your identity on the phone; then you're high and dry |
| 14:37.49 | AndyMillar | heh |
| 14:39.23 | dick_turpin | Thing is they want your number at work, then ring you at work as that's highly embarrassing yet it could lead to you getting sacked so you end up even less likely to pay them! these bankers are as thick as shit |
| 14:39.47 | AndyMillar | they're not bankers |
| 14:40.02 | dick_turpin | Credit Control then |
| 14:40.29 | AndyMillar | <PROTECTED> |
| 14:41.45 | dick_turpin | I had a good one with Nat West the other night, I have an agreement with them which some tosser cancelled unbeknown to me so I got that sorted yet they still keep charging and hounding |
| 14:42.05 | dick_turpin | I ring up, they apologise refund the money and I wait for the next month |
| 14:42.20 | dick_turpin | So this month I ring again and get a Manager |
| 14:43.05 | dick_turpin | "Ooh its been set up wrong I'll redo it but it will be more money" Er how the fuck does that work its your mistake not mine? |
| 14:43.48 | AndyMillar | heh |
| 14:44.27 | dick_turpin | So I say "No tell you what I'll keep the fucked up one, you charge me I'll ring and you refund and I'll carry on paying the same rate" |
| 14:44.34 | dick_turpin | so I said |
| 14:45.19 | dick_turpin | Idiots |
| 14:46.29 | dick_turpin | On the flip side I also like the sales people "Hello would you like a fitted kitchen?" |
| 14:46.42 | ChoHag | Got one thanks. |
| 14:46.50 | AndyMillar | I'm with ChoHag on this one |
| 14:47.12 | dick_turpin | I always say yes "But I'm just frying an egg gimme a sec while I take it off the heat" |
| 14:48.16 | dick_turpin | 3 mins later "Hi you still there? Oh good sorry about this I spilt the oil I'll be back in a sec" and so on |
| 14:48.54 | dick_turpin | My record is 17 minutes |
