|
| 07:02:05 PM | agamotto | all, even
|
| 07:02:20 PM | Gadwil | Perhaps it is just my system not letting me go fullscreen so the pixels arent being streched.
|
| 07:02:33 PM | Guest_2343 | chrisreich - you posted about Roc NY, does that mean you are a local? I am. What is your location?
|
| 07:02:57 PM | agamotto | There was some important game this weekend?
|

|
| 07:03:55 PM | Gadwil | I would have if I had known before Sunday
|
| 07:03:59 PM | GoodGuy | hi dman810
|
| 07:04:14 PM | chrisreich | I always watch Star Trek when Obama is giving a speech. There is less fantasy in Star Trek.
|
| 07:04:22 PM | ajamison5579 | Some of Scott Baculahs best work next to quantum leap
|
| 07:04:31 PM | ajamison5579 | was as Archer
|
| 07:04:32 PM | agamotto | chrisreich- agreed
|
| 07:04:34 PM | GoodGuy | Hint.. Star Trek is fantasy... NFL football is real lol
|
| 07:04:38 PM | SammySez | chrisreich: hah!
|
| 07:05:07 PM | _Jot_ | football there is a complete fantasy, they dont even use their feet to kick the ball like eveyrwhere else on the planet
|
| 07:05:16 PM | chrisreich | yes Robbie its annual
|
| 07:05:30 PM | GoodGuy | Never watched a field goal or punt? :-)
|
| 07:05:34 PM | Gadwil | We are going to play slap the geek with a trout.
|
| 07:05:36 PM | GoodGuy | Kickoff also
|
| 07:05:52 PM | chrisreich | I attended Super Bowl XXV in Tampa Florida.
|
| 07:06:14 PM | GoodGuy | Who were the teams playing?
|
| 07:06:22 PM | ajamison5579 | I used to go to my friends superbowl parties for the food did not care who was playing lol
|
| 07:06:27 PM | agamotto | The crowd?
|
| 07:06:29 PM | Gadwil | this chatroom is dead.... Should I part?
|
| 07:06:30 PM | chrisreich | Buffalo Bills and New York Giants
|
| 07:06:32 PM | SammySez | I am way up in the sticks tonight - barely have enuff cell signal to make this connection.
|
| 07:06:44 PM | _Jot_ | dont fall apart Gadwil
|
| 07:06:44 PM | GoodGuy | That was one of the most famous games
|
| 07:06:49 PM | SammySez | attempting to "listen" tonight instead of "watch"
|
| 07:07:18 PM | chrisreich | yep, and I watched Scotty Norwoods kick go wide right to lose the game for the favored Bills.
|
| 07:07:26 PM | SammySez | hmmm... the MP3 IN YOUR OWN PLAYER link does not work in Totem
|
| 07:07:32 PM | Gadwil | Robbies shirt is so appropriate.
|
| 07:08:10 PM | Gadwil | SammySez, Have you tried VLC or another app?
|
| 07:08:14 PM | agamotto | I managed to forget all about it until a local radio station broke into their music to announce the final score
|
| 07:08:24 PM | SammySez | Gadwil - trying VLC now
|
| 07:08:42 PM | GoodGuy | I remember that play.... The Bills owner is from the Detroit area... closest we ever get a Superbowl lol
|
| 07:08:52 PM | chrisreich | well agamotto, its only football. Its not important like baseball.
|
| 07:09:15 PM | agamotto | I have trouble just watching most sports
|
| 07:09:25 PM | GoodGuy | I prefer to watch the grass grow vs the baseball game played on it
|
| 07:09:35 PM | SammySez | I am being prompted for a REALM PASSWORD when connecting to http://audio.category5.tv/listen.pls with VLC
|
| 07:09:44 PM | chrisreich | to each his own, GoodGuy
|
| 07:09:45 PM | agamotto | ??
|
| 07:09:58 PM | Gadwil | RobbieF, It seems the MP3 feed is not working, check SammySezs error above. ^^
|
| 07:10:15 PM | GWG | Are they running behind?
|
| 07:10:50 PM | GoodGuy | True... helps to under the finer points of a game..... a friend taught me a bit about hockey and I started enjoying games more
|
| 07:11:22 PM | GoodGuy | He was coaching Mite hockey and invited me to come watch
|
| 07:11:23 PM | chrisreich | and I find baseball to be as intricate as chess
|
| 07:11:45 PM | Guest_4433 | hi
|
| 07:11:52 PM | GoodGuy | hi Guest_4433
|
| 07:11:55 PM | GoodGuy | brbias
|
| 07:12:01 PM | Guest_4433 | just wonder how to play this live streaming in totem
|
| 07:12:22 PM | Gadwil | Guest_4433, Using what? MP3 or a video feed?
|
| 07:12:42 PM | Guest_4433 | clicking the WMS in your own player on the website brings up totem with eeror
|
| 07:12:50 PM | Guest_4433 | WMS
|
| 07:13:07 PM | Gadwil | Guest_4433, I will alert Robbie when I get the chance, others are having issues with those feeds as well.
|
| 07:13:17 PM | RobbieF | ?
|
| 07:13:18 PM | Guest_4433 | thanks...
|
| 07:13:23 PM | GWG | Im getting none of the feeds working
|
| 07:13:32 PM | Guest_4433 | MP3 is not working too
|
| 07:13:39 PM | SammySez | wow - it is slow, but I have a JustinTV video connection over this cell link to my laptop - that is pretty cool
|
| 07:13:40 PM | Gadwil | It appears that WMS and MP3 feeds are not working in peoples personal players RobbieF and EricKidd.
|
| 07:14:01 PM | SammySez | WMS does not work for me either
|
| 07:14:08 PM | SammySez | prompting me for credz
|
| 07:14:18 PM | agamotto | Perhaps because eth0: has become something else on the new machine?
|
| 07:14:34 PM | agamotto | Or wlan0: for that matter
|
| 07:14:50 PM | Gadwil | SammySez, I am trying to alert them to the issue now to get some information, if not during the show, there will be answers after, maybe.
|
| 07:15:00 PM | agamotto | eppers
|
| 07:15:02 PM | agamotto | yeppers
|
| 07:15:05 PM | SammySez | VMware Player only supports "bridged" connections for Windows clients, FYI,.
|
| 07:15:25 PM | Gadwil | SammySez, That is odd, I can do NAT in it.
|
| 07:15:31 PM | Gadwil | at least last I used it.
|
| 07:15:32 PM | agamotto | lag lag lag?
|
| 07:15:44 PM | agamotto | ahhh
|
| 07:16:27 PM | SammySez | VMware Player bug check list I saw last week shows NAT as known failures for Windows clients. Linux is no issue of course ;)
|
| 07:16:36 PM | Gadwil | Maybe Robbie had to take the WMS and MP3 feeds down to conserve his bandwidth since they are doing by-the-byte payment now in Canada.
|
| 07:16:38 PM | chrisreich | brb
|
| 07:16:51 PM | Gadwil | or he is testing for when that has to happen.
|
| 07:17:06 PM | SammySez | I cannot use NAT in WMware Player Windows clients, only bridged. I have VBOX for Windows clients as a result ;)
|
| 07:17:07 PM | agamotto | Gadwil- Nah, that was soundly rejected by the government, if memory serves
|
| 07:17:48 PM | Gadwil | Ah, I didnt get that news Agamotto.
|
| 07:18:00 PM | Ledzep | Swapping drives is simple to do also.
|
| 07:18:17 PM | agamotto | Gadwil- Oddly, it wasnt covered heavily. I only found it while searching for CTRC myself
|
| 07:18:57 PM | chrisreich | is back
|
| 07:18:58 PM | SammySez | I tried out the Calypso for a few hours over a couple nights. It helped me to realize I am too old to learn new games that are complex. :)
|
| 07:19:06 PM | Gadwil | I will install and play with it later Sammysez, but I clearly remember being able to do NAT at least a version ago, so that shoulndt have changed.
|
| 07:19:11 PM | Guest_4433 | Hi Robbie, do you have any good note taking application for ubuntu that is similar to OneNotes by M$?
|
| 07:19:27 PM | Ledzep | Robbie, can you boot from a docking station?
|
| 07:19:28 PM | agamotto | Which reminds me, I need to look later and see if our representatives here in the US took some bite out of PATRIOT or not.... and promptly torture a few of them in email if they didnt
|
| 07:20:10 PM | calhydro | Hey Onenote has a great hidden feature Drag and Drop OCR
|
| 07:20:12 PM | agamotto | Ledzep: if the BIOS is set to boot to removable, yes
|
| 07:20:16 PM | SammySez | Gadwil: I dont doubt you. I just did a P2V exercise that required Paragon, VirtualBox and VMware Converter. When all was said and done I settled on VMX
|
| 07:20:42 PM | Ledzep | agamotto ty
|
| 07:20:59 PM | SammySez | but I could not get a network connection in VMware Player. Bug reports that I read mentioned Windows clients can only use bridged. But I am not an expert so perhaps I missed something.
|
| 07:21:11 PM | Gadwil | Guest_4433, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_notetaking_software
|
| 07:21:13 PM | agamotto | ooooops
|
| 07:21:24 PM | Gadwil | There is a chart with almost everything you need to know to find a good one for you.
|
| 07:21:56 PM | agamotto | about 21 minutes ago
|
| 07:22:45 PM | SammySez | my justinTV video connection is really good now
|
| 07:23:32 PM | agamotto | If javascript is turned off, he/she may not be getting the CAPTCHA part....
|
| 07:24:00 PM | Gadwil | SammySez, Could something have been mis-compiled for your install?
|
| 07:24:58 PM | agamotto | m i c k e y m o u s e
|
| 07:25:13 PM | GregInTexas | am I working?
|
| 07:25:29 PM | _Jot_ | do you want to?
|
| 07:25:32 PM | GregInTexas | wasnt working a minute ago
|
| 07:25:37 PM | Gadwil | RobbieF, IF someone does forget their password, the username should be released after 30 days of inactivity.
|
| 07:25:44 PM | Gadwil | ^^ on Freenode
|
| 07:26:14 PM | GregInTexas | funny!
|
| 07:26:18 PM | agamotto | People at school playing a LANed WoW?
|
| 07:26:28 PM | _Jot_ | everybody watching category5
|
| 07:26:48 PM | Guest_4433 | thanks for the chart
|
| 07:26:57 PM | Guest_4433 | I have tried Basket note
|
| 07:27:04 PM | Guest_4433 | still not as impressive as onenote
|
| 07:27:40 PM | Gadwil | What doesnt Canada have a day for?
|
| 07:27:42 PM | agamotto | What speciifc features are you looking for in your note-taking softs?
|
| 07:28:05 PM | agamotto | Condoms on all the ports?
|
| 07:28:11 PM | chrisreich | Wow, Internet Safety Day in Canada. I almost missed it. Why dont I get these memos?
|
| 07:28:12 PM | SammySez | Gadwil: It was a P2V migration. I have not tried a virgin install from a Windows CD to an empty virtual disk or anything like that.
|
| 07:28:28 PM | Guest_4433 | in onenote, you can drag things (multimedia) over from almost any application over
|
| 07:28:37 PM | Gadwil | SammySez, It may be the migration causing that kind of bug.
|
| 07:28:39 PM | chrisreich | what is P2V?
|
| 07:28:43 PM | agamotto | Ahhh, the integration then...
|
| 07:28:54 PM | Guest_4433 | i think this what is missing in ubuntu
|
| 07:29:25 PM | agamotto | Open DNS is quite nice for those with kids
|
| 07:29:37 PM | Gadwil | Guest_4433, Since there really isnt one structured framework for multimedia systems, it is difficult to do something very well in that field.
|
| 07:29:38 PM | SammySez | Gadwil: the bug report I read at vmware mentioned it is a recurring bug in WMware Player. I am not sure about VMware Workstation since I dont have a copy of that.
|
| 07:29:52 PM | Gadwil | It could be done, it would just require a bit more specialization to make it work.
|
| 07:29:53 PM | lord_of_sporks | OPen Dns will also speed up your conection a bit
|
| 07:30:06 PM | mathman47 | ROBBIE F: Im on, thanks. I just unchecked the auth box. Thanks again. Win 7 wins again.
|
| 07:30:15 PM | Gadwil | I have never had that bug doing clean installs and migrations from older Player versions.
|
| 07:30:32 PM | agamotto | mathman47- congrats
|
| 07:30:52 PM | EricKidd | Welcome to the show Mathman47!
|
| 07:31:22 PM | agamotto | Make each childs account a limited guest... thats a good start
|
| 07:31:36 PM | _Jot_ | protect your children - kill them all so they cant be hurt in the future
|
| 07:31:39 PM | GoodGuy | Physical To Virtual I believe chrisreich
|
| 07:31:53 PM | chrisreich | thanks GoodGuy

|

|
| 07:34:44 PM | calhydro | Robbie: Have you seen this product: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx It looks pretty good for some dedicated tasks, Open Source.
|
| 07:34:51 PM | agamotto | I hear there were nearly 10 million phone calls to Ottawa over it as well
|
| 07:34:54 PM | labfan | evening all
|
| 07:34:57 PM | Gadwil | lord_of_sporks, He has posted in the Forum a list of apps, one is a VNC app.
|
| 07:35:00 PM | GoodGuy | I thought Wikileaks hinted alot of ppl were doing tricks using funds in the Cayman Islands
|
| 07:35:15 PM | GoodGuy | something along those lines iirc
|
| 07:35:19 PM | lord_of_sporks | thanks Gadwill
|
| 07:35:21 PM | kyoshininja | evening: labfan
|
| 07:35:28 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- Yes, but they havent released the data yet

|
| 07:36:21 PM | Gadwil | Lord_of_sporks, Suggestion Box. < http://www.category5.tv/suggestion-box/184-ipod-touch-4g.php >
|
| 07:36:48 PM | GoodGuy | Sometimes I download the show to a USB flash drive and play it on a WD Live TV box next day
|
| 07:37:16 PM | mathman47 | Can someone suggest a new keyboard? I have a Logitech G15 and am fed up with the keys not always working. Yes , I took off all the caps and washed them but it didnt help. Been looking at the XARMOR-U9BL and the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate.
|
| 07:37:20 PM | GoodGuy | Miro subscription to the feed
|
| 07:37:21 PM | Ledzep | I love the WD Live box
|
| 07:37:25 PM | Gadwil | RobbieF, Where did you find the music for the Wirecast commercial?
|
| 07:37:40 PM | agamotto | I think Robbie mentioned recently about how he applied to have to show added to a bunch of devices recently
|
| 07:38:02 PM | agamotto | mathman47- M$ Natural 4000
|
| 07:38:22 PM | GoodGuy | I like it also.. Dont have the Live Plus or Hub.... just the Live V2 version
|
| 07:38:25 PM | agamotto | OW ow ow ow ow
|
| 07:38:40 PM | agamotto | Brownout along with a major spike!
|

|
| 07:39:16 PM | _Jot_ | mathman, logitech G19? they have a new G15 too, but they call it a G510 now
|
| 07:39:33 PM | agamotto | The utility will be responsible for your damages
|
| 07:39:53 PM | agamotto | lord_of_sporks- I used to watch it weekly, yes.
|
| 07:39:55 PM | GWG | lord_of_sporks: I remember that show
|
| 07:40:24 PM | agamotto | RobbieF- The utility will be responsible for your damages
|
| 07:40:28 PM | labfan | John C Dvorak was great on that show
|
| 07:40:46 PM | agamotto | MOSFET has been blown
|
| 07:40:55 PM | GoodGuy | I had a power spike over a internal modem... It started a small fire inside the PC.... smelled so bad I had to air the room for almost a week
|
| 07:41:06 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- ewwww
|
| 07:41:18 PM | GoodGuy | I agree!
|
| 07:41:42 PM | GWG | I love disagreeing with Dvorak. Ive been disagreeing with his point of view for years.
|
| 07:42:02 PM | agamotto | In most areas, you can have a whole-house surge arrestor put on your mains box for US$200 or less.
|
| 07:42:09 PM | mathman47 | JOT: The trouble with both of those is that they have the same switches under the keys. The 2 I mentioned are mechanical.
|
| 07:42:26 PM | GoodGuy | Who does that agamotto?
|
| 07:42:36 PM | lord_of_sporks | yeap Computer Chronicles is what got me into computers in the first place now cat5 does miss it though lol I new it was on from accross the room when i heard that catchy jingle that was there intro tune lol
|
| 07:42:37 PM | agamotto | mathman47- Das keyboard.... if you dont mind the expense
|
| 07:43:05 PM | SammySez | Hey! http://Category5.TV says "Congratulations! You have earned 1 points" and I didnt even have to save my bottle cap.
|
| 07:43:06 PM | calhydro | I had low voltage issue once, stuff wont boot or turn-on. Some UPS filter function to keep the power clean.
|
| 07:43:12 PM | labfan | Tech TV was good also
|
| 07:43:14 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- Exolon(sp?) paid for the one in our house
|
| 07:43:16 PM | GoodGuy | $200 doesnt sound bad at all
|
| 07:43:27 PM | Gadwil | Wow, my breakers have gone out quite a few times and no damage to anything.
|
| 07:43:28 PM | _Jot_ | SammySez, it does that once a day
|
| 07:43:29 PM | agamotto | calhydro- yes, brownouts
|
| 07:43:44 PM | Gadwil | EricKidd, I have a Cable Modem...
|
| 07:43:55 PM | GoodGuy | Do you call the electric company to install that or an electrician?
|
| 07:44:20 PM | agamotto | Gadwil- Then they did their job well, and your house is most likely wired properly
|
| 07:44:21 PM | Gadwil | All-In-Ones dont really include Fax anymore, Just copy, scan, print.
|
| 07:44:45 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- Check with your utility... it varies
|
| 07:44:45 PM | SammySez | I think I am a long way from the Category5.TV Points required for that free Cancun weekend get-away
|
| 07:44:51 PM | _Jot_ | gadwil, some do though
|
| 07:44:51 PM | GWG | Every time the cable company shows up, they unhook my cable line surge protector
|
| 07:44:58 PM | lord_of_sporks | yeap phone line has power in it allready lol i rember the old days when they ran traces on you by maintaing extra power in the line so you could not hang up and they could take there time to trace you
|
| 07:45:01 PM | Gadwil | My cable modem had so much feedback the Coax cable connector was burning my finger as I touched it.
|
| 07:45:26 PM | Gadwil | _jot_, yes, But far less than used to be made that are truley " all-in-one ".
|
| 07:45:34 PM | labfan | that sounds scary Gadwil
|
| 07:45:37 PM | agamotto | GWG- Yes, our provider tried to do that all the time, back when we had cable
|
| 07:45:40 PM | calhydro | I may case it wasnt just my house it was the whole block
|
| 07:45:44 PM | mathman47 | AGAMOTTO: Thanks, I have the DAS Keyboard site up in the other monitor. Ill look into it some more.
|
| 07:46:09 PM | Gadwil | I have one of those plugged into my Plasma TV.
|
| 07:46:15 PM | GregInTexas | I plugged my christmas tree lights into one of those exact ones ... lol
|
| 07:46:15 PM | agamotto | mathman47- If you like the feel of the old IBM keyboards, these are the ones you want

| 07:46:51 PM | GoodGuy | I have several of those agamotto.... love that feel
|
| 07:47:06 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, I do
|
| 07:47:11 PM | agamotto | I have everything important hooked up to UPSs in our house. We have too many problems with dips/brownouts in our area
|
| 07:47:16 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, I have 2 mainframes at home
|
| 07:47:27 PM | agamotto | 70? that sucks
|
| 07:47:30 PM | agamotto | Try 230
|
| 07:48:03 PM | GoodGuy | I knew a guy who had a mainframe in his house also.... several hard drives etc
|
| 07:48:17 PM | agamotto | Now you are talking
|
| 07:48:25 PM | Guest_2343 | Cray in the basement. Someone, just for fun, just implemented a Cray 1 in a high end FPGA. What took a team of engineers 30 years ago can now be done by one person in their spare time.
|
| 07:48:39 PM | GoodGuy | He worked for a mainframe company
|
| 07:48:42 PM | _Jot_ | I have one generic administation one, and one that cost millions, used in a factory for fabric-cutting etc
|
| 07:48:59 PM | calhydro | Hmm Does Pluging one surge protector into another provide extra protection?
|
| 07:48:59 PM | agamotto | I once had a SG Onyx to play with for awhile... Soalris was nice on that box
|
| 07:49:11 PM | agamotto | calhydro- No, sadly
|
| 07:49:23 PM | GWG | Anyone ever tried to claim on one of those?
|
| 07:49:39 PM | GoodGuy | He had a Magnuson iirc... Amdahl clone if memory serves me right
|
| 07:49:41 PM | agamotto | GWG- yes, twice with APC.... honored on both occasions
|
| 07:51:16 PM | agamotto | All I had to do was show them what house insurance didnt cover... they paid off on the rest
|
| 07:51:49 PM | GoodGuy | We had a big UPS unit at work as well as our own generator bldg.... stupid UPS never seemed to work the couple times it was called on
|
| 07:52:03 PM | agamotto | These are what inspired the house surge-arrestor add-on and the UPSs on everything important
|
| 07:52:17 PM | GoodGuy | Probably wasnt maintained as it should have been
|
| 07:52:22 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- ouch
|
| 07:53:05 PM | GoodGuy | We were told to never shutdown our mainframes for some reason
|
| 07:53:11 PM | agamotto | That one is very similar to what is on my main system, and my home entertainment setup.
|
| 07:53:28 PM | GregInTexas | surge protector plugged into ups ...
|
| 07:53:29 PM | GoodGuy | They feared it wouldnt start back up propely
|
| 07:53:41 PM | lord_of_sporks | Wait I thought with Ups your power itself never touches anything plugged in to it I thought basicly power only charges batteries and batterires feed things plugged in so basicly your always running off the batteries so only the batteries could get hurt in case of surge
|
| 07:53:54 PM | Gadwil | EricKidd, Could you ask Robbie, If you get a Surge protector rated for 4k joules, and then plug a UPS into that, would that give you full benefits of each device?
|
| 07:53:56 PM | SammySez | Verily I say unto thee, that agamotto spake thusly: "they paid off the on the rest". Did that include your deductibles as well?
|
| 07:54:07 PM | agamotto | That is only on the units that feature line conditioning.
|
| 07:54:10 PM | Gadwil | nvm, That just answered my question.
|
| 07:54:19 PM | GoodGuy | Thats the way its supposed to work
|
| 07:54:28 PM | GWG | The fire department recommends you dont daisy chain such devices
|
| 07:54:29 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, EricKidd, dont forget with an UPS you also have to replace the batteries once a while which is an added cost, sometimes every 3 months is recommended
|
| 07:54:41 PM | calhydro | My Freenas UPS comm. function for my APC has never worked correctly, it loads, connects and disconnect constantly
|
| 07:55:01 PM | Gadwil | RobbieF, Pump up your Shorty Award before the show. EricKidd, make sure he does it!
|
| 07:55:05 PM | agamotto | SammySez- Yes. $3800 on the first occasion, and $ 9000 something on the second
|
| 07:55:09 PM | GregInTexas | I never understood why the fire department says that ...
|
| 07:55:12 PM | RobbieF | thanks gadwil, I will.
|
| 07:55:37 PM | GoodGuy | I am looking for a gigabit network card with a WOL connector... needs to work in FreeNAS
|
| 07:55:39 PM | agamotto | And have someone do a Holmes inspection on your home wiring
|
| 07:55:56 PM | SammySez | wow - that is great. I would probably forget about the warranty / protection that comes with my $20 power strip :)
|
| 07:56:03 PM | mathman47 | AGOMOTTO: Das doesnt have a back light. Deal breaker.
|
| 07:56:05 PM | GoodGuy | I have an Intel card in there now... works but no WOL connector
|
| 07:56:05 PM | agamotto | I occasionally unplug mine from the wall, just to test
|
| 07:56:28 PM | GoodGuy | It would work in a newer PC I believe
|
| 07:56:50 PM | GoodGuy | My mobo is so old, it needs the wired connector
|
| 07:56:56 PM | Gadwil | DO NOT GROUND while working on High voltage equipments such as CRTs and UPSs!
|
| 07:57:19 PM | Gadwil | At least that is what is taught in A+ class, I am not sure if it is a good idea or not.
|
| 07:57:22 PM | mathman47 | My Cyber Power UPS works perfectly. Gives me about 45 min to shut down in a power failure.
|
| 07:57:23 PM | kyoshininja | Thanks for the tip Gadwil
|
| 07:57:31 PM | agamotto | I replace my batteries in the units every three to four years, it seems
|
| 07:57:50 PM | SammySez | I wouldnt be braggin about being awarded for a "shorty". heh.
|
| 07:57:58 PM | GoodGuy | lol SammySez
|
| 07:58:13 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, EricKidd, I tried that, but it didnt work, it brought up a twitter page for some reason
|
| 07:58:21 PM | SammySez | thats like being awarded for small feet or something.
|
| 07:58:22 PM | agamotto | It could be worse... it could be a Darwin award....
|
| 07:58:30 PM | SammySez | OHHH!! THAT Shorty Award.
|
| 07:58:59 PM | GoodGuy | We tossed out over 100 trophies a couple years ago.... spent a fortune collecting them.... years later they were dust collectors
|
| 07:59:05 PM | agamotto | We cant just nominate you for a Webby?
|
| 07:59:22 PM | SammySez | Get your darlin a shorty on Valentines Day
|
| 07:59:24 PM | mathman47 | Robbie F: Thanks it was great to have a voice - and the help - again.

|
