GOG has announced Day of the Tentacle: Remastered for pre-order!

That looks like an evil Patrick from spongebob...

What happened to Acronis clone tool?! Can't seem to find the free one anywhere..? I know clonezilla works - but Acronis is easier for resizing the images (going from a 250GB SSD to a 120GB SSD)

In work, got collared before I'd even sat down at my desk to sort one of the downstairs rooms out for a presentation...slightly warmer today so far

@NattNatt No worries there, just string cat6 through a couple windows, give it a tug to get the droop out

That works with fibre too right?

Company now uses all Cat6 - but I miss Cat 5e, was easier to run and terminate, easier to bend etc too...

You won't miss 5e in a couple years when 10gig switching is dirt cheap

No doubt...but we'll no doubt have re-run ALL the cables at least 3 times before then...

Hahaha I was going to say "or you'll have moved by then"

Apparently the boss is trying to procure the building that's opposite us, and plans to bridge across into that too...If we get it, it'll be awesome...but the company who own it are fairly massive, so we shall see....

I've pulled 5e and 6 in through the rafters in my shop and to me there is no discernable difference between the 2. Even when punching down/terminating the cables.

Can't explain how you see them as the same, the termination components that I've seen are quite different, so much so that one is very easy and one is rather difficult.

The termination is a bit different, not much though. After a little practice I can terminate a cat6 just as fast as cat5e with RJ45 plugs. As far as punchdown and keystone jacks they are the same.

Still slower for me, due to the fiddly plastic core that needs cutting out...

Back to work tomorrow. Had a public holiday today.

now THAT is a happy Monday

@wirestyle22 said:

Playing Stardew Valley. Fun game similar to Harvest Moon.

quite a few of my friends have started playing this, they seem to like it! not enough blood for my liking...

@Minion-Queen said:

Yes I have decided it will be a good one. So it will be! It is sunny here today and going to be 55 degrees! That is a start to a great week!

Either you're going to melt...or you use the silly temperature scale...

@Minion-Queen said:

Happy Monday everyone!

Is there such a thing as a "Happy Monday" (other than the band)..?

@StrongBad said:

What the hell is wrong with people?

That's like a throwback to the olden times when dining chairs in big estates/castles had a bucket in them so you can eat and poop at the same time...

@scottalanmiller said:

Good morning everyone. Quite windy here today.

Is that due to food choice last night..? :')

It's cold here, -3c when I left for work this morning

Played a fair bit of CS:GO yesterday, a few ranked matches (won 2, drew 1, lost 0) and tried a few co-ops with friends - some maps are mental crazy!

I was about to asked was it the data size,.. but I see that it's only a bit over a GB.. wow. that does seem slow.

You need to count your zeros again.

Or notice it says MB at the end, rather than KB 18 hours for 1TB though...damn...

In case anyone hasn't seen/realised - there's a MASSIVE Eidos Anthology sale on Steam at the moment, 34 Games, plus all DLC for £23.99 (not sure what it'll be in USD)

I'm also very hopeful that the ChronoTrigger and Seiken Densetsu series will come to Steam. Since a new remake of Seiken Densetsu for iOS and Android came out a few weeks ago, there is hope that the Final Fantasy side story will get a new life on new platforms.

Hopefully that won't be just a port though. I can't remember the name but they had a turn based 40k game that was supposed to be akin to FF Tactics but it fell horribly short as it was the same game they put on iOS. Made it very basic unfortunately.

I didn't know that Square Enix had any association with the WH40K people.

Didnt they do Dawn of War 2? I know THQ did the first one...2nd one was terrible compared to first - 1st was AoE-style RTS with buildings etc, 2nd was turn based combat...

The original Dawn of War was an amazing copy cat. It didn't do anything revolutionary but it did everything it copied very well. Dawn of War 2... well it didn't fit my tastes. DoW2 was a tactical, squad based RTS similar to Company of Heroes, which was also made by THQ, and I know a lot of people who loved it. I just couldn't get into it.

Yeah, exactly how I felt - DoW + expansions was AoE in the W40K universe and it just worked so well! Was really excited for DoW2, bought it, played it twice and haven't touched it again...such a let down

@NattNatt

They just have you pick a region, and I do US West. But the in-game party system makes it easy to get in on the new game, add me ( creaytor, picture of Harrison Ford as the profile image ) and we'll Dota down!

@NattNatt If you really want rid of it, I suppose I could put it to good use... you know, just so it wont expire. Is it a text code or do we have to exchange it through steam?

exchange through steam, it's an item in my inventory! About to go home now, but send me a Friend Req and i'll send it over (http://steamcommunity.com/id/NattNatt_main/)
