[09:12]<+camerongray> Dah - Mental note - Don't search "How to remove stitch" and click the top result when you are talking about a sewing stitch, not a medical one - Now I'm not hungry anymore :P

[09:20]<+camerongray> Starting to think that saving like £20 by trying to alter a £400 kilt myself instead of paying a proffessional may be a bad idea :P

[09:59]<+camerongray> Woop - Kiltmaker have said they will do it for free :D - they are easily the best sort of busines for customer service!
[10:44]<Steimey> What exactly have you 'kilt' - did you run it over?
[11:35]<+camerongray> lol
[11:40]<+camerongray> Talking about the Scottish national dress if you hadn't realised :P

[13:35]<+camerongray> Hey Calum
[13:35]<+camerongray> Got your name right and everything :D
[13:35]<@Calum> haha, good work
[13:35]<+camerongray> No more exams finally! :P
[13:36]<@Calum> ah nice!
[13:37]<+camerongray> Oh yeah, you use HP machines at work don't you?
[13:37]<@Calum> we do
[13:37]<+camerongray> Feel free to throw them on the floor - We discovered this at uni :P
[13:37]<@Calum> heh why's that?
[13:38]<+camerongray> Cable got caught on my friend's chair pulling the machine and monitor to the floor - Works fine!
[13:38]<+camerongray> I was amazed
[13:38]<@Calum> lol, nice
[13:38]<@Calum> they do mostly feel nice and sturdy, they're solid cases
[13:38]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:38]<@Calum> laptops are pretty solid too, not a fan of the newest ones we're buying though
[13:38]<+camerongray> I never thought a desktop could survive that
[13:39]<@Calum> that is pretty impressive
[13:39]<+camerongray> It was a pretty old one though - DC7900
[13:39]<+camerongray> Not one of the nice new Elite ones we are getting with i5 3470s or the others with i5 2400s
[13:39]<@Calum> DC7900s are pretty awesome machines, most of ours are older
[13:40]<@Calum> 90% of our desktops have a 1.6GHz C2D, the rest are CAD workstations or i3 based
[13:40]<+camerongray> Got very lucky though - Monitor landed face down - Otherwise the PC would have gone through it
[13:40]<@Calum> lol
[13:41]<+camerongray> That's the flaw with chaining the monitor and base unit together - When you pull the DVI/VGA cable you end up with both on the floor
[13:41]<@Calum> yeah
[13:44]<@Calum> decided to cash in on this Bitcoin nonsense by selling off my 7970s as well, should be able to get more than I paid for them
[13:44]<+camerongray> haha
[13:44]<+camerongray> Oh, have you sold them all yet?
[13:44]<@Calum> not yet, had a lot of half arsed offers but nothing I've accepted yet
[13:44]<+camerongray> Oh, how much? Thinking about a new card
[13:45]<@Calum> I have two, both are watercooled with blocks & backplates, looking for around £260 each
[13:45]<@Calum> I have the stock coolers too though
[13:45]<+camerongray> Ahh, hmm
[13:45]<@Calum> I need to free up the cash otherwise if I was selling I'd be looking for less
[13:46]<@Calum> GTX 680s are generally at good prices though, 2 sold the other day at £150 each
[13:46]<+camerongray> Ahh nice
[13:46]<@Calum> good value for money IMO, that's probably what I would be looking at
[13:46]<+camerongray> I've been looking at the 270x
[13:46]<@Calum> some guy was trying to trade me two 680s for my cards, I laughed at him
[13:47]<@Calum> problem with AMD cards is they're all going up in price because of demand from miners
[13:47]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:47]<@Calum> 270X = 7870 if I remember rightly
[13:47]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:47]<+camerongray> My friend has been mining stuff
[13:48]<+camerongray> Just because he has the card though, wouldn't actually buy hardware just for it
[13:48]<@Calum> it's still possible to make money from litecoins, and if you mine one of the less popular coins there's always the chance it'll go up in value
[13:48]<+camerongray> Yeah - That's what he does
[13:48]<@Calum> but I just don't fancy getting involved, it's a lot of work for a few £ at the end of the day
[13:49]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:49]<+camerongray> I'd only do it for fun :P
[13:49]<@Calum> worth it if you have the time and hardware though
[13:49]<@Calum> heh yeah
[13:49]<@Calum> I have a 5850 sitting in this rig right now I could use but just don't have the inclination to configure it all
[13:49]<+camerongray> If I get a new card I'll probably experiment with ti
[13:49]<+camerongray> it*
[13:49]<+camerongray> During one late night revision session we started mining DogeCoins :P
[13:50]<+camerongray> Even they don't seem to like CPUs anymore - My laptop got none
[13:52]<+camerongray> This a good deal? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-068-HS
[13:53]<@Calum> I don't know what prices are like to be honest, not sure if that's decent or not
[13:53]<@Calum> it seems good for what it is, but I would personally get a 680 for the same price, much faster :P
[13:53]<+camerongray> Ahh
[13:53]<@Calum> but yeah for mining and gaming it seems good
[13:53]<+camerongray> I don't even really need a new card :P
[13:54]<@Calum> you have a 560Ti now right?
[13:54]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:54]<@Calum> was going to offer you this 5850 but it's about the same kind of speed I think
[13:54]<+camerongray> Yeah
[13:54]<+camerongray> It just feels old :P
[13:54]<@Calum> I only paid £25 for it so :P
[13:54]<@Calum> hah I know what you mean
[13:54]<+camerongray> And if I do ever run games it will work pretty hard since it's a 1gb card driving two 1440p monitors
[13:55]<@Calum> ah yeah there is that
[13:56]<+camerongray> Hmm... 7950 for £199 at Aria
[13:56]<@Calum> that's been considered a "buy buy buy" price for 7950s recently if that helps heh
[13:56]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[13:56]<+camerongray> How much would a 560ti roughly sell for?
[13:57]<+camerongray> ASUS DirectCU II version
[13:57]<@Calum> let me check, 2 seconds
[13:57]<+camerongray> Remember though - 15% more performance, 35c and 20% cooler, 2.5x longer lifespan
[13:58]<@Calum> haha
[13:58]<jamer> I thought about bitcoin mining
[13:58]<@Calum> looks like £50-60 is the going rate, same card sold the other day for £55
[13:58] * wonderwoman (Mibbit@mib-6373825A.cable.virginm.net) has joined #glitchpc
[13:58]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[13:58]<@Calum> I could do you a 7970 with the stock cooler for £220 if you fancy it
[13:58]<@Calum> I'll sell the block & backplate separately to someone else
[13:59]<@Calum> they're still in warranty, 22 months left I think
[13:59]<+camerongray> But doesn't the 7950 unlock to a 7970? :P
[14:00]<+camerongray> This is the one in quesion: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/XFX+DD+Radeon+HD+7950+3GB+GDDR5+Graphics+Card+%5BFX-795A-TDJC%5D+%2B+3+FREE+GAMES%21+?productId=52185
[14:00]<@Calum> I think you can flash a 7970 BIOS to get better memory timings and speed, not sure if you can unlock the shaders...I think that was just the 6950-70
[14:00]<@Calum> and apparently some 290s unlock to 290x's
[14:00]<+camerongray> Ahh
[14:00]<@Calum> yeah seems like a good price for a 7950 to be honest
[14:01]<@Calum> looks like the 7950 doesn't unlock but the 7970 BIOS helps them OC massively
[14:01]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[14:01]<+camerongray> And you can safely OC on the stock cooler?
[14:02]<@Calum> probably not all of them, will take a 7970 BIOS though so check before you flash, it's not something I know about as I haven't ever played with these
[14:02]<@Calum> I think so, again not really sure as I would WC anyway heh
[14:02]<+camerongray> lol
[14:02]<@Calum> some OCing should be fine, maybe not extreme clocks but a decent amount sure
[14:02]<+camerongray> Yeah
[14:02]<+camerongray> I'll think about that one then
[14:02]<wonderwoman> Heyyyyy
[14:03]<+camerongray> Hey Cassie
[14:03]<@Calum> lots of the AMD cards keep going in & out of stock and the prices fluctuate like crazy so bear it in mind, some of the deals go OOS really fast
[14:03]<jamer> I was looking at a nvidia 640
[14:03]<wonderwoman> How you doing cameron!
[14:03]<wonderwoman> ?*
[14:03]<@Calum> brb
[14:05]<+camerongray> Good thanks, exams are over!
[14:08]<wonderwoman> Bleh!! exams are dreadful
[14:08]<wonderwoman> I would hate to go to uni...
[14:08]<wonderwoman> Studying hurts me...
[14:08]<+camerongray> Yep!
[14:08]<+camerongray> It can be hell at times
[14:08]<wonderwoman> I do an online course.
[14:09]<wonderwoman> And i find it boring... cause am repeating the same cack as i did in my btec
[14:09]<+camerongray> Ahh yeah
[14:09]<+camerongray> Ours is just fairly mindnumbing
[14:09]<wonderwoman> its meant to be lvl 3. and it's like blahhhh
[14:09]<wonderwoman> Computer science right?
[14:09]<+camerongray> Calum: Friend has just mined 50p worth of DogeCoins :P
[14:09]<+camerongray> Yaeh
[14:09]<+camerongray> Yeah*
[14:10]<wonderwoman> You must be sooo clever
[14:10]<+camerongray> Thanks - Not really though :P
[14:10]<wonderwoman> Tis ok :) but you must be for doing such a crazy course
[14:11]<+camerongray> I accidentally found myself on GCSE bitesize while studying!
[14:11]<+camerongray> Complete mind blank moment
[14:11]<@Calum> haha, 50p...leave them a few months, they might be worth £1!
[14:11]<+camerongray> Yeap
[14:25]<wonderwoman> Oh man
[14:25]<wonderwoman> i loved bitezie
[14:25]<wonderwoman> bitesize*
[14:26]<+camerongray> yeah!
[14:30]<wonderwoman> there was cool games on there
[14:30]<wonderwoman> thats the only reason i liked it
[14:33]<+camerongray> hehe
[14:33]<+camerongray> I used to like it because I could "revise" on my computer
[14:33]<+camerongray> Mum walks in "I'm revising" :P
[14:33]<+camerongray> Having the tab open counts
[14:34]<wonderwoman> Lol. I used to do that at school.... teachers are stupid
[14:34]<+camerongray> yep
[14:35]<wonderwoman> I liked stealing the ball out of mouses.
[14:35]<wonderwoman> and bury them outisde
[14:35]<wonderwoman> Cause i was an awful child.
[14:37]<wonderwoman> I miss work...
[14:40]<+camerongray> haha - One of "those" people :P
[14:40]<+camerongray> At our school we had optical mice but "those people" stole the little feet from the keyboards
[14:41]<+camerongray> At uni though we have computers that flip out of desks - So easy to shut it forgetting to put the mouse away and end up chopping the cable off
[14:42]<wonderwoman> Yes... "those" people was me! i liked stealing them and burying them cause i was cool.
[14:43]<wonderwoman> optical only came when we moved to our new building... i was in year 9 by then
[14:43]<wonderwoman> we had so many computers though!
[14:43]<+camerongray> Ahh yeah
[14:43]<wonderwoman> so they had to get optical!!
[14:43]<wonderwoman> we had laptops in almost every class.
[14:44]<wonderwoman> and computers in almost ever class
[14:44]<+camerongray> That's the fun revising in computer science - We can see the library from our building and it's full of people wandering around looking for PCs - We have hundreds of top end PCs with very few in use :P
[14:44]<wonderwoman> and macs in art
[14:44] * [O]U1timat3Tr0113r is now known as U1timat3Tr0113r
[14:44]<wonderwoman> every*
[14:45]<wonderwoman> That's cool...
[14:45]<wonderwoman> the peasants must feel sad! lol
[14:45]<+camerongray> haha yeah
[14:45]<+camerongray> We don't judge them... well... just a little
[14:46]<wonderwoman> There is other 1000 students at my secondary school
[14:46]<+camerongray> Even if they can get into our building by following someone in - They can't log into the PCs
[14:46]<wonderwoman> and there must of been around 1500 computers
[14:46]<+camerongray> haha
[14:46]<+camerongray> We had over 1000
[14:46]<+camerongray> Oh yeah, this morning: http://www.scotsman.com/news/education/boroughmuir-high-school-reopens-after-bomb-scare-1-3237566
[14:46]<wonderwoman> we had the tiniest tech team as well
[14:47]<wonderwoman> Ahhh man!!!
[14:47]<wonderwoman> thats crazy
[14:47]<+camerongray> haha
[14:47]<wonderwoman> I remember when we had a bomb scare!
[14:47]<wonderwoman> it was bloody horrible
[14:47]<wonderwoman> kids running around the school pooing themselves
[14:47]<+camerongray> Ahh wow
[14:47]<wonderwoman> We have a guy who was in the army... so that was good
[14:47]<wonderwoman> he was a bomb disposal guy
[14:48]<+camerongray> Ahh
[14:48]<wonderwoman> so he was running around the school searching for this mysterious bomb
[14:48]<wonderwoman> We had a serious stabbing outside our school in 06
[14:48]<wonderwoman> and in 07/08 we had a serious bomb scare... apparently cause of the stabbing
[14:49]<wonderwoman> some guy wanted to blow the school up.
[14:49]<+camerongray> Ouch! We had nothing like that thanfullyu
[14:49]<wonderwoman> http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CD8QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-news%2Fmurder-at-school-gate-kiyans-last-625778&ei=aBiyUqGPK4Lb7Ab7hYGQBQ&usg=AFQjCNFWZHqvyI5ZdpvfjyIPKqCFJJXUEQ&sig2=izFSdBXFOBwdbnnfT8kTwA&bvm=bv.58187178,d.ZGU
[14:49]<wonderwoman> such a shame... poor kid
[14:49]<wonderwoman> didn't deserve it at all
[14:50]<+camerongray> Jeez!
[14:50]<wonderwoman> Ahh man.
[14:51]<wonderwoman> it was horrible for months
[14:51]<wonderwoman> i didn't know him very well
[14:51]<wonderwoman> but he was apparently such a humble kid
[14:51]<wonderwoman> with such good talent to be a top footballer
[14:52]<wonderwoman> Anyway on a lighter note
[14:53]<wonderwoman> my whole old area is being completley revamped
[14:53]<wonderwoman> it looks soo cook
[14:53]<wonderwoman> cool*
[14:53]<wonderwoman> it's funny my dads electrics are gone!!!
[14:53]<wonderwoman> cause of the building work apparentlt
[14:53]<wonderwoman> apparently*
[14:55]<+camerongray> Ahh nice!
[14:55]<+camerongray> My old school is getting rebuilt soon
[14:55]<+camerongray> Finally!
[14:55]<+camerongray> And we move out of our uni building in 2015 while they refurbish it
[14:56]<+camerongray> But by "refurbish" they mean remove everything apart from the structure (even the outside walls) and rebuild it all on the old frame
[14:56]<wonderwoman> Really?
[14:56]<wonderwoman> Thats awful.
[14:56]<wonderwoman> We were moved completley
[14:57]<wonderwoman> And sang to david cameron!!
[14:57]<wonderwoman> lol

[15:02]<+camerongray> Ahh ncie
[15:03]<wonderwoman> I should go to bed...
[15:03]<wonderwoman> Calum may kill me... :O
[15:03]<+camerongray> haha
[15:03]<wonderwoman> Sleep tight :)
[15:03]<+camerongray> This is the building currently, really needs refurbished: http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/29/91/2299127_278a957f.jpg
[15:03]<+camerongray> cya
[15:04]<wonderwoman> OOh wow
[15:04]<wonderwoman> it looks like flats
[15:04]<+camerongray> Pretty much packed with asbesdos
[15:04]<wonderwoman> Yukkkk
[15:04]<wonderwoman> We had rats?
[15:04]<wonderwoman> does that make it any betteR?
[15:04]<+camerongray> The original plan in the '70s was to have two towers connected but they gave up after building the one so it's not even properly finished
[15:04]<+camerongray> As in the entrance is a side door
[15:05]<wonderwoman> Oh my...
[15:05]<wonderwoman> that is horrific
[15:05]<+camerongray> Voted the ugliest building in the city
[15:06]<wonderwoman> I would say the same if i lived there.
[15:06]<wonderwoman> sweet dreams!!! :)
[15:06]<+camerongray> cya
