12:03 PM

back later. I'm going to sit in a lab for a few hours.

Cole

12:18 PM

@Dan @Adrian always tells me I need to date older women so I guess I probably should.

Dan

@Cole Theres nothing inherently wrong with young people, but drama tends to decrease as one gets older. No rules to these things, though

pauska

@TomO'Connor "gigolo" ?

Gigolo

A gigolo is a male escort or social companion who is supported by a woman in a continuing relationship, often living in her residence or having to be present at her beck and call. The gigolo is expected to provide companionship, to serve as a consistent escort with good manners and social skills, and often, to serve as a dancing partner as required by the woman in exchange for the support (which is contrary to typical norms). Many gifts such as expensive clothing and an automobile to drive may be lavished upon him. The relationship may include sexual services as well, when he also would b...

Cole

@Dan My past few exs have been 22-23.

Jenny D

@Dan I think mostly the main difference is whether they have lived on their own and had a job or not. Someone who's 21 but has lived and held a job for a few years is likely to be a lot more mature than someone who's 25 and has only been to school and college and never had a job or a real place of their own.

Cole

@JennyD Sadly, most women around here between 21-35 have only been to school/college and still live at home.

I started my career at 21 and moved out at 22.

Jenny D

12:28 PM

@Cole When I was 23 I briefly dated a guy who was 22. But then I'd been working for 5 years and had a place of my own; he was still in uni and living at home. There were so many things in my life that he just didn't understand; I felt like he was ten years younger instead of just one...

Dan

@JennyD Oh yeah, it was a huge oversimplification. Life experience if everything, and in terms of age gap, I maintain that being on the same page is the most important. One of my exes was at Uni while I was at work and that just didn't work out at all, because we were just in different places. I was becoming commercially aware and worrying about customers and contracts, her Uni mates were still planning on changing the world

tombull89

@Chopper3 having watched the Battlefield 4 Multiplayer "Best Moments" trailer, and the Commander trailer, I'm quite excited for BF4 now.

Dan

@tombull89 Do I need a new console for BF4, or is it Xbox360?

Oh you lot are PC, aren't you

Jenny D

I started working when I was 17, part time after school. Got my first full-time job when I was 18, after high school + 1 year post-high-but-not-uni studies. Didn't go to uni until I was 25.

Dan

@JennyD Ditto, except I never bothered with the Uni part

tombull89

12:29 PM

@Dan 360, PS3, One, PS4 and PC for BF4

I'm hoping my graphics card will cope.

Cole

@JennyD That's what I'm constantly running into. I've been working FT since 17, started working 2 months after turning 16.

tombull89

Battlefield has always been on PC for me.

Jenny D

@Dan I only took one term, though at half speed while I was working full time, but it was enough to get me my first sysadmin gig

Cole

So I've been working FT for almost 10 years already.

Fuck, I'm getting old.

@Dan you has Xbox360?

Dan

@Cole I do

Cole

12:31 PM

@tombull89 You has Steam?

Dan

Sometimes it even gets turned on

Jenny D

@Cole I call your 10 and raise you a 20.

Cole

@Dan should add me: iLLuminatte

ewwhite

So I have an LSI RAID controller flooding with error messages when we do a DB import.

tombull89

@Cole I haz steam.

Cole

12:31 PM

@tombull89 You should add me: iLLuminatte on Steam as well. Think I'm just going to buy a newer graphics card instead of a console.

Except Destiny looks so bad ass.

Dan

@Cole Done, herm4nd

Cole

@Dan sweet, I shall accept it when I get home.

Do you play Halo by any chance?

Travis

What in the hell would cause an analog line to show busy all the time when it isn't in use!?

tombull89

@Cole I spent the best part of £200 on a graphics card last summer, so I hope it would run BF4 okay.

Cole

But it's coming out for 360, so.

Dan

12:33 PM

@Cole Pretty much just BF3 and Forxa

Cole

@tombull89 which card?

@Dan dang - I play(ed) BF3 on PC.

Dan

:(

Cole

I suck at all FPS' on console - except Halo.

tombull89

@Cole XFX Radeon 7870

Full specs of my machine at tombullock.co.uk/gaming-pc

Dan

How much would one pay for a great gaming PC, now

Cole

12:35 PM

@Dan I built mine (except the case) for about ~$450

maybe $500

tombull89

Good? £500. Great? £600-800, I guess.

Dan

Mm, not too bad I suppose - does that get me everything except monitor?

Journeyman Geek

@Dan: depends on what you build, really ;p

Dan

I'm not sold on the idea, but I'm really not feeling the new XBox

@JourneymanGeek I know, but you get my drift.

Cole

Core i5 3470, 16GB DDR3, nVidia 550 Ti, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 700W PSU, ASRock H77 mobo

Ok so maybe it was more like ~$650

tombull89

12:37 PM

Holy shit. My machine I linked above cost me around £830, excluding CPU and secondary HDD.

Journeyman Geek

@tombull89: british prices are high

tombull89

That's everything, though, mouse, keyboard, screen, speakers, SSD.

Cole

@tombull89 I paid $367 for the Core i5, mobo and memory

Journeyman Geek

I think mine should add up to around a grand.

(but really nice keyboard and mouse, great big hulking case)

Cole

$110 for the video card, I think the PSU was about ~$60-$70, SSD I got on sale for cheap, I think ~$120ish, 1TB HDD was on sale to for $60

Journeyman Geek

12:38 PM

and I didn't buy my SSD

Dan

See, I still like the idea of playing on the TV

So I really don't know if a PC is going to add up. Can't see me sitting upstairs by myself

Cole

I have a Logitech Wave for a keyboard at home - sucks for gaming lol, and a Logitech Performance MX Mouse.

tombull89

@Dan HDMI out to the TV?

Dan

@tombull89 Yeah, I was thinking controllers

Journeyman Geek

roccat kone XTD for a mouse, razer blackwidow ultimate from my last computer

Cole

12:39 PM

@Dan can use an Xbox controller no problem usually on PC.

Journeyman Geek

I have a logitech controller somewhere around here

Cole

One of the USB ones.

tombull89

@Cole recently replaced my mouse/keyboard at home because wireless SUCKS for gaming.

Dan

@Cole Yeah, but then I'm going to get done over even moreso than on the XBox

Journeyman Geek

gaming.logitech.com/en-sg/product/f310-gamepad

got one of these, cheap, but I've not used it yet ;p

Cole

12:40 PM

@tombull89 yeah I'd like to get a nice mechanical keyboard

Not sure what mouse I'd go with.

I tend to like bigger mice.

tombull89

I don't know what I'll upgrade next on my machine. 8GB of RAM is enough, and the CPU, while a couple of years old, is overclocked from 2.8GHz to 3.3GHz and runs fine.

Cole

I surprisingly have fairly large hands for being such a small dude.

You know what they say about that!

tombull89

@Cole Very pleased with the Razer BlackWidow Expert I got recently.

Cole

That I'm completely not proportionate!

Dan

Just realised I know fuck all about desktops

Cole

12:42 PM

I suppose is true, big hands and feet but 5'3

Journeyman Geek

@Cole: I've got pretty big hands, I've had decent luck with both the standard logitech shape (I used to use a G300 which I moved over to the shared desktop)

tombull89

@Dan It was the graphics cards that threw me the most.

Journeyman Geek

Oh, that razer one my brother has is ginormous

tombull89

SO. MANY. CARDS.

Journeyman Geek

@tombull89: I'm like that with AMD gear ;p

Cole

12:43 PM

8.5 - 9 in Mens (So 8-8.5 in UK I believe)

Dan

@tombull89 I was looking at Alienware (I know, just curious!) and it comes with a 7.2k SATA drive. My first thought was "Nooooo....oh, wait, yeah I guess that's fine"

Cole

@Dan SSD or GTFO

Journeyman Geek

nvidia, I can guess. I just get something with a GTX in front, and a number bigger than 50 behind

@Cole: some times, big disks are a good thing ;p

tombull89

@Dan @Chopper3 got an Alienware last year, I believe, he had issues with the disk in it.

Dan

@Cole I do concur, but I can't see it making a huge difference in gameplay

Cole

12:44 PM

I'm a huge nvidia guy. Can't get into ATi

Journeyman Geek

@Dan: 7200k is like the minimum ;p

@Cole: same here.

Cole

@Dan The game loads faster.

Dan

Ooooh </sarcasm>

;)

Cole

@JourneymanGeek This is why I have a 1TB 7.2K drive.

Journeyman Geek

also, borderlands 2.

Cole

12:45 PM

@Dan DO NOT MOCK ME.

Journeyman Geek

GOTTA HAVE MY OOZY FLUIDS SPILLING ALL OVER THE PLACE

2

tombull89

I have a 250GB SSD as primary for Windows and a 2TB 7.2k as a secondary for other Steam games.

Journeyman Geek

@Cole: ugh, I need a new one

I had my eyes on the new seagate 4tb, but with my luck with seagates this month...

250gb SSD as a primary, 500gb HDD as secondary

Cole

@JourneymanGeek I put all my VMs from Workstation on the 1TB SSD

Journeyman Geek

oh, 40gb fujitsu notebook drive for linux ;p

pauska

12:46 PM

Is there really any need to upgrade these days if you have a first gen i7 or i5 build? I have one with 8 gigs of ram.. all I needed to do was upgrade the GPU to something modest and new, plus a new SSD.. all done

tombull89

a 1TB SSD? Jesus.

Journeyman Geek

@Cole: 1tb... ssd?

@pauska: honestly? no

pauska

except the fun of building something new..

Journeyman Geek

actually, with ram maxed out, my old c2d would handle most things I threw at it.

@pauska: thats the big thing ;p

(actually thats why I build electronics kits sometimes, and have an audio system I periodically tweak)

tombull89

The reason I got rid of my old board is that it would only handle 8GB RAM with 2x RAM slots.

Journeyman Geek

12:49 PM

My other desktop is shared, and I've never quite gotten this whole gaming laptop thing ;p

Dan

I'd be almost tempted with a gaming laptop but it's such an insane cost premium

tombull89

@JourneymanGeek Costs an obscene amount of money though

Journeyman Geek

@tombull89: it does

XD

(but god, so pretty)

Dan

12:52 PM

ANd paying for OS licenses I don't need irritates me, too

Journeyman Geek

and I still wouldn't game on it ;p

@Dan: I don't mind the stock OS personally

Dan

@JourneymanGeek It's the paying for it I'm against :D

tombull89

@Dan If you buy a machine through Novatech, you can get it OS-free (and you pay £100-odd less because of it).

Journeyman Geek

XD

ask for a refund?

Dan

Most won't

But yeah, maybe

ewwhite

I'm researching this Oracle issue and came across this nifty blog.

Cole

@JourneymanGeek whoops I meant regular HDD

Travis

@ewwhite So is oracle the debil or is it just oracle DB?

Cole

@Travis Oracle.

Travis

we're looking at an oracle ERP now

Travis

1:28 PM

@Cole $80 mil

Cole

@Travis youch!

How big is the company/what do you guys manufacture?

Travis

@Cole ~100 employees, ~35 are "system" users and we do film and foil products

@Cole All of the ERP's from Microsoft up through Oracle were in the $400k range

Cole

@Travis Yeah Dynamics/Oracle ERP probably are overkill.

Travis

@Cole Our current "ERP" and I use that term loosely costed about $70k since we've had it.

Cole

I'd look at the Sage products - Do not look at QAD

Syspro sucks too.

SAP is way too much as well.

@Travis na.sage.com/erp

Travis

1:30 PM

@Cole Sage won't work for us according to the vendor because of how difficult our inventory stuff is

Cole

@Travis really?

That's weird.

Find a new vendor.

My previous director worked for a company that implemented Sage - they did lots of customization.

Curious to how you do inventory now.

ewwhite

@Travis You need Produce Pro!!!

Cole

The bigger manufacturing companies I've worked for (current job, UVEX and Roto Frank) all use SAP. Smaller ones use Syspro, SAGE & MFG Pro

IIRC Syspro is written in COBOL

At least it was in 2008-2009.

@Travis are you guys a Lean shop? I'd assume so.

I know way too much about manufacturing.

Travis

I guess inventory is a bad term. We're not a lean shop at all. We have so much inventory bloat it's not even funny.

Cole

@Travis ouch, no bueno sir.

Travis

1:36 PM

We don't manufacture per se either.

Cole

@Travis resell?

Travis

A mixture of resell and a slitting operation. We take raw film and cut it down to smaller rolls. Foil we rewind into smaller rolls or stamp pans

The problem is with how we sub items and come up with different things. I don't honestly understand it all and had the CFO explained it to the Sage guy

Cole

So more like repackaging the product for consumer use?

Travis

Kind of

Cole

Interesting.

Travis

1:38 PM

We'll take a 54" roll of film and cut it into 2, 24's and a 6"

Cole

Sometimes I think I should go into the ERP business. Then I realize I already hate my life enough.

Travis

Then we'll sell the 24's as a packaging or pallet wrap film and the 6" as a small "hand film"

Our Canadian counterpart told us to try Navision

but when we looked at Dynamics I asked the vendor and he said it definitely wouldn't handle us and the way we do things

A: esxi and server 2008 on the same physical server

You want to install ESXi 4, and then create a Windows VM on the ESXi host. It makes absolutely no sense to dual boot. Also, ESXi 4 is relatively old now. If you're just using ESXi with no licensed features, I suggest going with the latest version: ESXi 5.1

Someone told me the other day they're getting a Carry Concealed Permit (gun) because the world is becoming a "crazy place". I wasn't in the mood for arguing, but less people die of violence now than at any point in recorded history.

mossy

@Dan I use HTML / SCSS at work. I would like to contribute to applications at some point though.

Nothing makes me rage more than front end design.

@Dan percentage - by total number wouldn't fairly represent your likelihood of being a victim of violence.

mossy

@Dan Yeah. Trying to figure out the best way to learn all of these functions. It's overwhelming

Dan

@ChrisS Aye, that's what I thought.

@mossy If you can figure out the basic syntax and concepts it's normally a case of Googling what you want to do and seeing if PHP has a function for it

Of course, there's literally hundreds of frameworks that make it do more
