good morning

hiya NB

munki 2.2 has reduced the number of http requests :)

I use GeekTool alot, Im thinking of using it to check on my DS server, anyone got some tips on good scripts for monitoring the server?

zup

morning.

morning

morning folks

Creops: I haven't used it but I've heard very good things about Watchman Monitoring

ok, i’ll check it

I use MenuMeters for checking stuff at a glance (CPU usage, network throughput, free RAM etc)

i like menumeters

So, a MBA without "any" ports.. just a USB-C port and audio.. how likely would you say?

kladda: unlikely

me thinks

hey nbalonso !

hello hello franton :)

how's things in the sandy place?

Morning guys!

This is massively off topic, but does anyone know anything about employment law?

enough to know that it varies from country to country and that you really need a specialist lawyer

Lawyers are expensive, I'm not in any trouble or anything...

in that case google is your friend

it's a seriously complex section of law, beaten only by IP I think

_nix what country?

UK, I've googled it. New company wants me to start in one month, my contract here is three months. I juts need to negotiate it down

go with the classic one: "Do you really want me here for three mouths when you know i'm just waiting to quit and got no amitions left?"

"It's better for you to get someone new that actually want's to be here. he or she will do a much better job"

mhmm

I need to hand all my stuff over

_nix: I guess ur not in a union?

Nope

From what I've read, it would be deemed "unreasonable" for them to make me work 3 months. It helps that I've had colleagues leave within a month, but their contracts were obviously differenct

_nix: perm or contract atm?

Creops: i'm not even sure there is an IT workers union in the UK..

macmule: then start one! but some of the unions might have it as a part of them

i think franton could be more of a union leader than me!

hardly ;)

although i've dealt with a couple unions

btw: joining a union won't solve your current issues. they will only deal with issues occurring from date of joining

at least in the UK ...

Calibrate Apple Thunderbolt displays... ehurm, any ideas?

makab3r: there is a calibrate wizard in system prefs

macmule perm mate

it'll create a display color profile

makab3r: i've used various ColorMunki's before (not a typo) http://www.colormunki.com/welcome/design?url=

nbalonso yeah, that one. But ehurm, I think they want something else, like an external calibration tool

makab3r: then as macmule suggests there are usb thing(ys) that run the color calibration for you

_nix: ahh.. i'd just approach the bosses & have a chat with them.. (not sure if feasible). Oh & FWIW, i'll be in the same boat

@macmule were the creatives satisfied with the colormunkis?

@nbalonso yeah, true. I'll look at it.

makab3r: at the old place, yep.. this was a design studio.. also used them back in the OS9 days for a paper i was supporting

@macmule What type of display did you calibrate? I figured it's harder to calibrate something that has a glossy finish than something that's matte. But that's me guessing.

makab3r: they were all Matte tbh.. not sure about the current displays..
