Great stuff. Had never heard of him. Gutteral soulful voice.

I presume the off licenses being open means beer can be considered an essential supply?

Trying out that cool new online poker craze. Seems that playing like people used to 12 years ago gets you called down super-light every time.

Turning pro.

I definitely put him up here last June or so when I was going through a phase of listening to fat people with powerful voices doing covers.

Kind of is. There is quite a few people who'd cause damage in order to get their fix.

You lose money at quite the rate playing that.

How are heroin addicts getting by does anyone know.

Last year or so up by the tenth lock in Clondalkin its been like Hamsterdam up there, supplies must be running fairly thin by now.

Why don't you fire up a 10c / 20c cash game in the ipb club on stars and we could try starting a zoom session to go with it

You cant go higher than 2 km so rationing it I'd say.

This is maybe a kinda anachronistic post, but anyway: I have, of necessity, started looking at - eh Netflix...and discovered "Better call Saul" .., which I am devouring, for reasons that may become obvious later in the game. Just wondering is there other stuff on Netflix that people would recommend? Of the same ilk, or just better?

The show is Tiger King btw, Joe Exotic is the main character.

**Opr** · 28-03-20, 20:50

Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen is somewhat a return to form for him. It's no Snatch but certainly a huge cut above most of the stuff he has done since.

Adopting a strict policy of no Netflix or downloading films. I watch what's on TV, enjoy the ritual of going through the TV guide and then if something decent is on it feels like old school excitement. Also I dont allow it on before 6pm pre that is for wholesome shit. / 8 hour Champ session.

Regular (Summer) swimmer in the Guillamene.

Had an absolute cracker of a photo I took of the place the summer before last on the phone.

Went looking for it there and fear I deleted it and left this one in it's place. Possible I'll find it facebook later, this one will have to do Strewel & Murdrum for now.

Anyone here good with Linux? I'm not even sure if what I am trying to do is possible. I have part of a system running on a remote Linux server. That program reads in some setup files from a location on the physical drive. The documentation says this location has to be configured as a physical drive location. I want to somehow be able to change these files remotely without logging into the machine itself. So when I do an update on the files in the other location (A completely separate machine running on another network) those setup files on the remote machines' physical drive read the changes and are updated automatically. The program running on the Linux machine picks up the change in these files automatically so that isn't a problem. I've no idea what I am doing in Linux so I am kinda lost even googling for help.

Used zoom tonight with a bunch of mates to have a few beers and catch up. Would never catch the same number of people in person on any day. Zoom is basically the same as webex/teams/Skype/lifesize - a video conferenece.
