06:59:06 PMeuqrop on topic ... did anyone tried IE9?
06:59:19 PMGadwil I have been using IE9, need to reboot to use the final version now.
06:59:59 PMeuqrop I love ff but i got to say IE looks good for now
07:00:14 PM_Jot_ I generally use firefox so Ill download IE when its part of the regular updates
07:00:23 PMGadwil IE9 has FAR better compatability, and is super fast, but FF4 has my heart now.
07:00:32 PMGadwil RobbieF, IS that a Galaxy Player?!
07:00:36 PMagamotto howdy al
07:00:41 PMGadwil Hey agamotto.
07:00:46 PMeuqrop hey
07:00:58 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, stop playing with your thingy and run the show!
07:01:04 PMagamotto Hmmm, ooks like Robbie is playing with something
07:01:19 PMeuqrop robbief just showing off
07:01:41 PMGadwil I do use IE9 extensivly for Netflix though... I love it for that.
07:01:48 PMGadwil Have a quicklink right on my taskbar for it.
07:01:58 PMajamison5579 firefox works with netflix now gadwil
07:02:14 PMagamotto Makes sense, if you get a lot of use out of it
07:02:16 PM_Jot_ hi Robbie and Christa
07:02:28 PMeuqrop robbie you are a bit green :)
07:02:48 PMGadwil ajamison5579, But when in A) Windows, I am on FF4 Beta and am bug testing, so crashes often, and B) when in Linux, Netflix no worky at all unless in Boxee. :(
07:02:54 PMGatorman Wheres the hat Christa?
07:03:17 PMajamison5579 gadwil good points
07:03:18 PMGregInTexas my thought exactly ... whereza hat?
07:03:38 PM_Jot_ apparently the hat isnt always there, what she said last week at least
07:03:45 PMeuqrop cool beans
07:03:45 PMGregInTexas ah
07:04:11 PM_Jot_ hey Johannes in the background
07:04:13 PMGregInTexas great connection for Hilliary
07:04:14 PMGadwil ajamison, Not to mention, I had to test the QuickLinks for IE9, so it was a good way to A) Test that, and B) get 3. I love how when using a quick link that the IE9 interface may change to fit better, such a nice feature.
07:04:27 PMDosbomber hah.. I saw those freaky little robots... I want the Einstein one. :D
07:04:40 PMagamotto I will consider Netflix streaming when they can be bothered with an Ubuntu/Debian client..... hell of alot more of us than there are Roku users....
07:04:40 PMGadwil Netflix, Bing, and CNN were my 3 quick link options, they worked flawlessly.
07:04:50 PMDosbomber I swear it wasnt me!
07:05:04 PMcalhydro Robbie has kids he cant be bored
07:05:22 PMGoodGuy Try Wine agamotto?
07:05:35 PMagamotto GoodGuy- No, but I might eventually
07:05:52 PMchrisreich RobbieF you are congenitally affable.
07:05:55 PMGadwil Set router to Not reply to pings.
07:06:21 PMagamotto Ipod touch.... ie. Fondleslab Jr.
07:07:04 PMGoodGuy RobbieF-EricKidd: They demo that often on HAK5
07:07:24 PMcalhydro Yea thats all they talk about on Hak5
07:07:37 PMGadwil Robbie, I think Google can be pretty malicious.
07:07:40 PMeuqrop hey
07:07:43 PMGoodGuy Or make a junk email acct you dont care about
07:07:47 PMGregInTexas hi!
07:07:49 PMagamotto RobbieF- Future show topic - setting up a VPN on your devices....
07:07:51 PM_Jot_ hey Robbie and Christa, weve been here for a while
07:07:53 PMas759 Hi
07:08:02 PMYazid1965 Were real
07:08:04 PMajamison5579 hi
07:08:07 PM_Jot_ say RobbieF, whats up with the green?
07:08:13 PMGadwil So who has used Gnome-Shell recently?
07:08:22 PMGadwil YAY DRAWBOT!
07:08:24 PM_Jot_ You see me? stop looking at me! Im not green!
07:08:30 PMGregInTexas we like drawbot!!!
07:08:31 PMdman810 We lOve Drwabot
07:08:34 PMmathman47 Hi Robbie & Christa, Windows forever.
07:08:38 PM_Jot_ Drawbot for president!
07:08:40 PMGadwil I just got happy.
07:08:47 PMdman810 sorry!
07:08:54 PMcalhydro I find they run a contest to with clusters of virtual machines for people to break into
07:09:00 PMdman810 it was a long day!
07:09:16 PMajamison5579 gadwil I have tried but my ATI card apparently is not Fedora 15 alpha friendly and no proprietary driver out yet
07:09:32 PMGoodGuy last episode was a neat case mod in picture frames for one of the cluster pcs
07:09:34 PMagamotto ajamison5579- ouch
07:09:58 PMmathman47 RobbieF: how do you know Christa?
07:10:02 PMajamison5579 agamotto yeah it worked in F14 just fine using the OpenSource driver
07:10:21 PMajamison5579 the one currently in F15 alpha is not playing nice
07:10:24 PMGadwil ajamison, I tried the Alpha of 11.04, and it crashed after installing proprietary drivers, so I re-installed Win 7 for the HTPC. Not testing in Arch due to a massive amount of work since we must self-compile the software.
07:10:28 PMagamotto ajamison5579- Another case of needless upgrade, eh?
07:10:48 PMGoodGuy Im more interested in how he got Bekah to agree to allow someone as pretty as Christa there lol
07:11:04 PMeuqrop lol
07:11:06 PMajamison5579 Gadwil I had to install using the alternate Ubuntu install disk
07:11:06 PMagamotto After three kids, she should worry?
07:11:09 PMajamison5579 had the same issue
07:11:11 PMGoodGuy My wife would say get a male helper haha
07:11:12 PMchrisreich My description of Rochester, New York (my adopted home town) where the nearest restaurant is always Italian and the nearest bar wants you to think theyre Irish.
07:11:13 PMGregInTexas you can get motorolla canopy on 5ghz
07:11:27 PMGadwil ajamison, I used standard and alternate, alternate first.
07:11:35 PMajamison5579 Ubuntu 11.04 does not use gnome-shell anyway it uses Unity
07:11:40 PMGadwil I will wait for Beta in a few weeks to try again.
07:11:41 PMGregInTexas 5ghz lot clearer for shorter distances
07:11:53 PMGadwil I know, I installed it to try Unity and compare to Gnome-Shell.
07:11:58 PMDavetech Rochester, awesome! Thats my home town
07:11:58 PMagamotto New TV show.... "The Manny!"
07:12:00 PMGadwil I would install Shell packages from repo.
07:12:05 PMGoodGuy Doesnt it have a fallback to Gmome if you dont want Unity?
07:12:34 PMDougEFresh_ Hi everybody
07:12:38 PMGadwil yes, You can get " Ubuntu Classic " from the GDM, but it also crashed on me in there after proprietary driver install... even Safe Mode failed.
07:12:44 PMGoodGuy Last episode this season of "V"
07:12:52 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, they also use 5ghz to combine channels with n, to get 300mbit, so if it says that, it might support it, but you still have to check
07:12:53 PMGadwil No idea what happened there... I call that an Alpha Bug.
07:13:02 PMagamotto I finally gave up on wirless in the house, and ran Cat5 cable through the air ducts to the rooms needed.... life is so much easier now
07:13:07 PMGregInTexas 5 gighz used for wireless backhauls
07:13:12 PMGadwil Jot, very few routers do that yet though.
07:13:29 PMGoodGuy Is that legal under code agamotto?
07:13:44 PMagamotto GoodGuy- Since the house is pre 78, yes
07:13:51 PMGoodGuy I thought it wasnt considered good practice
07:13:55 PM_Jot_ Gadwil, yeah, lots of them advertise with 300mbit, but arent actually able to, they just mean n
07:13:59 PMGadwil I am lucky, My dad installed network wiring in the house when he built it.
07:14:12 PMagamotto GoodGuy- It isnt, but I am not tearing up my good plaster to run cables...
07:14:15 PMGoodGuy At least you need special insulation
07:14:36 PMGregInTexas its ok with plenum cable ...
07:14:37 PMDavetech He, He. messy wires.... :)
07:14:37 PMagamotto GoodGuy- the jacket on the cable is fire-rated
07:14:41 PMGadwil Jot, they " can " do it, if they have the proper card, I do think the only one that supports it currently was released about 2 months ago, so far not in that many products.
07:14:46 PMGoodGuy We have a basement, so I just had to drill a hole thru the wooden floorboards
07:15:01 PMGoodGuy Ok agamotto.. no issue then
07:15:18 PMchrisreich brb
07:15:20 PMagamotto We have too many people in the neighborhood now with wireless.... 16 boxes, and I think every one must be shouting at full power.
07:15:28 PMGoodGuy I ran a 50ft Cat6 from the back of the house to the living room
07:15:50 PMcalhydro Robbie: Do you use jumbo packets on your network, and does it really make difference when copying and/or moving large media files?
07:15:53 PMGoodGuy Have switches on each end, so I have enough ports
07:16:05 PMGadwil Sounded simple to me.
07:16:20 PMGregInTexas sounded simple to me too ...
07:16:29 PMGadwil RobbieF, She uses a Mac, she is a visual person. Us Linux guys understand you, I think.
07:16:41 PMGoodGuy I dont YET calhydro.. I wanted to run two network adapters.... one 10/100 to the net and inside a 10/100/1000
07:16:42 PMkevoh1 me hug you back
07:17:19 PMDougEFresh_ Hi Jot I replace my motherboard, the advice you gave me help. However everythings fine until i upgrade. I have no sound. I try
07:17:24 PMGadwil http://www.category5.tv/wirecast-4-giveaway/
07:17:30 PMGoodGuy My mobo has two NIC ports, but one is disabled
07:17:36 PMGadwil ^^ Direct link to the contest.
07:18:01 PMagamotto GoodGuy- Why would you need two?
07:18:03 PMGoodGuy When I learn how to setup two networks, Ill enable it
07:18:13 PMkevoh1 Robbie
07:18:14 PMagamotto Ahhh
07:18:20 PMGoodGuy My wifes PC is old and only uses 10/100
07:18:37 PMGoodGuy That slows down a gigabit network
07:18:52 PMagamotto Immensely, I would imagine
07:19:01 PM_Jot_ DoughEFresh, at least it boots, so you should be able to find drivers etc, I havent really made sound work in a running linux unfortunatly so no idea what to do about it
07:19:06 PMGoodGuy I want a 2nd port running gigabit for my PC and the NAS box
07:19:17 PMDavetech Here we go again..
07:19:31 PMmathman47 PS is well worth it.
07:19:44 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, the big difference between photoshop and gimp is that photoshop is meant for printed media, so it has printing-press-support and such, gimp doesnt, so thats a big difference
07:19:45 PMGadwil I would pay NOT to have flash.
07:19:50 PMGoodGuy If you are using it for business, you arent a student :-)
07:20:10 PMkevoh1 RobbieF: I get "The Flash plug-in was blocked because it is out of date" in Google chrome? :( how to fix this???
07:20:11 PMDosbomber Robbie rubbing it in...
07:20:13 PMagamotto Gadwil- And Steve sure tries, doesnt he?
07:20:30 PMagamotto A Student of Business?
07:20:30 PMGoodGuy I know MS software is for academic use only
07:20:55 PMagamotto kevoh1- Is this the 10 version of Chrome?
07:20:57 PMajamison5579 Everyone is a student of Life
07:20:57 PMGadwil kevoh1, Google Chrome uses their own extension repo. Try searching Google for a fix to that... also go to Settings and About Chrome, and check to see if it is the latest version.
07:21:19 PMGoodGuy Our daughter had to buy MS Office 2003 for college classes
07:21:26 PMkevoh1 Yes its version 10
07:21:28 PMGadwil kevoh1, Also the flash being used by the site, could be newer than the one installed on your Chrome build.
07:21:47 PMGoodGuy Robbie doesnt look at bittorrent lol
07:21:50 PMGadwil GoodGuy, Office 2003 in 2010/2011? Why not get 2007 or 2010?
07:21:55 PMas759 RobbieF What vector drawing package would you recommend for Ubuntu users?
07:21:59 PMagamotto kevoh1- The corrected Flash bits should be out in the next week or so, latest.
07:22:08 PMGoodGuy It was before 2007
07:22:11 PMDosbomber He had the gimp site cached though
07:22:19 PMGregInTexas I use both photoshop and gimp
07:22:21 PMGoodGuy She graduated awhile back
07:22:23 PMGadwil ah, ok GoodGuy.
07:22:25 PMagamotto Gadwil- To avoid the Ribbon...
07:22:35 PMGadwil I love the Ribbon.
07:22:51 PMGadwil I want Ribbon in Libre and/or Open Offices.
07:23:05 PMGregInTexas you want ribbon, Gadwil?
07:23:10 PMagamotto Gadwil- Unfortunately, it bothers too many users of the previous versions
07:23:20 PMGadwil Yes, I love the Ribbon. Makes it so easy to find what I want to do/use.
07:23:22 PMeuqrop being a ubuntu fan .... robbief gimp as nothing to do with photoshop!!!
07:23:22 PMGregInTexas I dont care for ribbon so much
07:23:24 PMGadwil I found more features just because of it.
07:23:43 PMDosbomber If you go for a job interview and tell them you know how to use Photoshop, you might get the job. If you tell them you know "Gimp", you will get a weird look and be shown the door.
07:24:06 PMchrisreich RobbieF is not married to Christa - "the rules" do not apply.
07:24:13 PMDavetech More like this: $$$ vs FREE
07:24:15 PMmathman47 RobbieF: You get what you pay for!
07:24:17 PM_Jot_ oh, the rules always apply
07:24:28 PMchrisreich but he wont make any time with her that way...
07:24:32 PMDougEFresh_ it work fine until i upgrade. the board i have is a 785gt e63. video card nvidia 9800gtx. the s/dif is mute I trie everything to unmute it. is there away to do it in the terninal
07:24:35 PMGregInTexas gimpshop sux
07:24:36 PMagamotto Dosbomber- Depends on the shop. Around here, Scribus and Inkspace, along with GIMP are somewhat in demand.
07:24:43 PMGoodGuy Sounds like my brother Dosbomber... an employer asked if he was looking for a job and he said No, Im looking for a job... Guy showed him the door
07:24:51 PMGregInTexas inkscape rocks
07:25:02 PMGoodGuy asked work
07:25:20 PMGadwil I use Paint.Net, Inkscape, and GIMP... Now downloading GIMPshop to see how it looks.
07:25:37 PMcalhydro Christa: When you build a site do you build for one particular browser or multiple browsers? How do you reconcile the small differences in how your pages display?
07:25:41 PMGregInTexas gimpshop is old
07:25:45 PMGadwil RobbieF, DO you use it on Windows or Mac?
07:25:52 PMagamotto calhydro- Good questio
07:26:22 PMGregInTexas my answer to cahydro would be to design for html5
07:26:26 PMNightHawk_UK Did anyone see in january on blender.org about the site trying to sell blender to unsuspecting people?
07:26:53 PMGadwil Wow, forget that, going from 2.6 to 2.2.8... Long time out.
07:27:03 PMGadwil When will GIMP 2.8 be released?!
07:27:28 PMGregInTexas no, gimpshop is too old to use
07:28:03 PMkevoh1 Hey yall please recommend a good router and access point for both a residential setup and a small office setup ... Thanksss.
07:28:23 PMagamotto kevoh1- Zoom products should work well for you
07:28:27 PMGregInTexas I tend to use netgear, kevoh1
07:28:55 PMeuqrop linksys ?
07:28:59 PMDavetech Cisco WRT54G
07:29:12 PMkevoh1 do you have a specific model in mind?
07:29:20 PMGregInTexas man, do they still sell the WRT54G
07:29:28 PMagamotto kevoh1- I dont, but others might
07:29:29 PMGadgetWisdomGuru got back early tonight
07:29:36 PMDavetech ebay
07:29:38 PMGadgetWisdomGuru Wanted to say hi quickly.
07:29:50 PMkevoh1 hi
07:29:57 PMGoodGuy They sell a WRT54GL
07:30:06 PMagamotto Bear in mind, that said devices must be available to Kenya, where kevoh1 is living
07:30:17 PMGoodGuy Linux model.... others use VxWorks OS
07:30:36 PM_Jot_ DoughEFresh, what I can find on the internet, is a lot of mentions of ubuntu related to that motherboard, so if it was mine, Id boot it up with an ubuntu live cd, and see if sound works, first analogue and then s/pdif
07:30:45 PMGregInTexas so, in Kenya, probably cant run down to Radio Shack and just pick up a Netgear ...
07:31:03 PMkevoh1 you might be surprised by the variety available
07:31:18 PMagamotto DougEFresh_- Make sure that the Master, Front, and Master Front switches are turned on
07:31:22 PMDavetech NEWS!!
07:31:38 PMGoodGuy Isnt Kenya where they take the pirates for trials?
07:31:39 PMDosbomber omg.. halftime already
07:31:42 PMkevoh1 after all we are between China and US , Canada on the shipping path
07:32:01 PMagamotto kevoh1- I was thinking about the ease of shipping to you....
07:32:03 PMkevoh1 no GoodGuy thats Somalia
07:32:17 PMDavetech Intro music overlaps Hillarys voice. Could barely hear her when the intro music plays
07:32:38 PMGoodGuy Pirates are from there... I thought they took them to Kenya because Somalia has no functioning govt
07:32:39 PMDosbomber News music does need to be toned down a little
07:32:50 PMDougEFresh_ Ok Jot, i will try that now.
07:32:53 PMeuqrop yes thats is bad !!!
07:33:10 PMDavetech News looks GREAT though
07:33:15 PMeuqrop the sound could be just a bit lower
07:33:20 PMagamotto Now, that is interesting... PogoSoft for main machines.....
07:34:08 PMDavetech Maybe I can use my broken laptop as a POGOplug device!
07:34:08 PMGoodGuy Grrrr great.. Zune is dead
07:34:09 PMagamotto Shame.... Zunes were nice kit
07:34:27 PMkevoh1 I joined the chat late and missed the earlier discussion anyone with the full chat log from the start please send it to me on kmurithi at gmail dot com. thanks...

07:34:46 PMajamison5579 now time to kill off the xbox
07:34:52 PMDosbomber Hm.. thats not the robot I thought she was referring to in the beginning of the show.
07:35:09 PMrd_blair1 uraid as a pogoplug ???
07:35:21 PMEightMilesFromTJ The bonus of a Pogo Plug is, it runs on 4 watts.
07:35:30 PMagamotto true....
07:35:44 PMSammySez whos the chick?
07:35:49 PMSammySez Brent Spiner
07:35:51 PMDavetech Nope, I dont get it
07:35:52 PMGregInTexas Christa
07:35:57 PMGadwil Robbief, Downloading the Pogoplug Software beta now!
07:36:04 PMDavetech OHHH Data
07:36:05 PM_Jot_ you mean Christa Wells from http://cwellsdesigns.com/ ?
07:36:09 PMagamotto She must be assimilated!!!!!!!!
07:36:18 PMGregInTexas lol
07:36:21 PMDavetech He he
07:36:21 PMGoodGuy I just got a phone call from a guy who wanted to do a survey of TV viewers from 18 - 34.. Told him he was many years late in calling
07:36:34 PMchrisreich Im thinking that the pogoplug software running on one of those plug servers would be optimum.
07:36:45 PMchrisreich Is that software open source?
07:37:06 PM_Jot_ chrisreich, the pogoplug is basically one of those plug-servers, and no, it is not open source, although it runs on linux
07:37:11 PMGadwil crisreich, I dont think so do the the EULA you need to accept to get it.
07:37:35 PMagamotto GoodGuy- Next time answer the phone this way - "Nee how, gwIlow shen zhe bai lo?"
07:37:39 PMchrisreich okay thanks gadwill.
07:37:48 PM_Jot_ Christa, dont forget if you work for thousands, youre worth thousands, and hes worth.. nothing?
07:37:49 PMGregInTexas she probably getting paid thousands too ...
07:37:55 PMchrisreich _jot_ so will the pogoplug hardware still be sold?
07:37:59 PMGoodGuy lol
07:38:01 PMdman810 Gadwil what was the website for pogoplug betea again?
07:38:11 PMDosbomber lol Jot
07:38:17 PMGadwil http://cat5.tv/pogobeta
07:38:22 PM_Jot_ chrisreich, yes, and there will also be added paid bonus services or something, the basic serving and media-streaming will be free, from what I understand
07:38:22 PMGadwil ^^ For Pogoplug beta
07:38:34 PMagamotto Hexadecimal means you are the wrong species.....
07:38:45 PMdman810 Gadwil thanks
07:38:47 PMGadwil Be prepared to get 2 emails to get fully registered and activated.
07:38:54 PMchrisreich okay thanks _jot_
07:38:57 PMSammySez man this Justin TV popup seems quirky. if you click on it, it goes off to some site, then I have a bunch of commercials. heh.
07:39:22 PMSammySez Chrome Sketchpad is kinda cool
07:39:25 PMDosbomber Ustream is a little better (wow, did I just say that?)
07:39:35 PMGregInTexas I quit using justin and started using ustream ... worked better for me
07:39:52 PMSammySez is there a link to the Ustream feed from category5.tv, or do I need to search for it at the ustream site?
07:39:57 PMGadwil RobbieF, What is a " Web Safe " color? Cant the Web display all colors?
07:40:16 PMagamotto Good Q
07:40:22 PMchrisreich good question Gadwil
07:40:22 PMajamison5579 gadwil it refers to mostly old gen 1 browsers
07:40:26 PMGregInTexas used to, the web had only certain colors that you could gaurantee to be displayed
07:40:38 PMajamison5579 now with browsers in the 4th or 5th generations not so much an issue
07:40:38 PMagamotto So, it is a fuzzy square...
07:40:54 PMGregInTexas it is still considered "good" practice to use web colors
07:40:56 PMGadwil Interesting.
07:41:06 PMajamison5579 it had to do with the limitation of avalible colors when the Internet became popular
07:41:16 PMGregInTexas supposedly, if you use web safe colors, the color will look the same from monitor to monitor
07:41:25 PMagamotto GregInTexas- in theory
07:41:42 PMGregInTexas but LCD, and LED monitors were invented and all practice goes out the window
07:41:47 PMajamison5579 that to since colors are rendered differently based on the Tech
07:42:24 PMkevoh1 RobbieF: Which file do I need to edit to change the activation link sent by joomla to a new user for them to join my site. I installed a community in a sub-domain and the link sent to the new member is broken... ( repeats the sub-domain folder twice resulting in a 404 error, however if i delete on instance of the folder name the link works ok)...:-/, what to do?
07:42:52 PMagamotto ouch
07:43:08 PMGregInTexas I use a 2 pixel width myself
07:43:44 PMGregInTexas build the gradient as 20 or 30 pixels wide, then narrow to 2 pixels
07:44:09 PMalket hi
07:44:22 PMagamotto hallo
07:44:23 PMalket doesnt show start 1 AM in Europe ?
07:44:35 PMSammySez I like the green argyle sweater. hee hee. thats great. Is "Ferguson" an Irish name?
07:44:39 PMGadwil I guess I should send info on the Pogoplug exe and dll to Microsoft for Security Essentials so when it comes out others wont be bothered with the same issues.
07:44:51 PM_Jot_ it starts at midnight alket, make sure to check the website for the time when it starts
07:44:58 PM_Jot_ I also get it wrong a lot :)
07:45:00 PMajamison5579 gadwil excellent idea
07:45:08 PMchrisreich not certain, but I think "Ferguson" would be Scottish.
07:45:29 PMagamotto alket: not sure about Canada, but here in the US, we just sprang forward and hour
07:45:55 PMGregInTexas they mustve "sprung" too, cuz I was on time ...
07:46:08 PM_Jot_ yeah, those crazy canadians
07:46:15 PMagamotto That must be the answer
07:46:25 PMDavetech installing the pogo beta
07:47:01 PMSammySez I gave up on my PogoPlug. The cat seems to like to chew on it, so its worth something at least.
07:47:07 PMagamotto So, Robbie is on at 1900 EDT, or 0000 GST, yes?
07:47:12 PMalket I couldnt watch the show since January so i forggot that it starts on 00:00 and ends at 1:00
07:47:27 PM_Jot_ alket, yeah, it changes sometimes becuase of wintertime and summeritme etc too
07:47:36 PMGoodGuy Kitty chew toys are expensive SammySez? :-)
07:48:03 PMagamotto GoodGuy- Only when they are diabetic toes....
07:48:09 PMSammySez And the MagicJack is a horrible, horrible device FYI. Inbound quality is great, but outbound is horrid no matter what I do with it.
07:48:16 PMDougEFresh_ Jot, i had no luck with the cd boot. it still mute.
07:48:22 PMSammySez heh.
07:48:22 PMGregInTexas sounds latin to me ...
07:48:44 PMDosbomber Does Gimp have macro functions like Photoshop?
07:48:48 PMagamotto I could, but it will take me some time to translate.... I havent had much use for my Latin since college....
07:48:50 PMGoodGuy Thanks SammySez.... I bought one at a garage sale, but never tried using it
07:49:03 PMGregInTexas thats a good question Dosbomber!
07:49:09 PMGoodGuy I wondered if it was worth pursuing
07:49:20 PMagamotto SammySez- Does your router do QoS?
07:49:25 PMSammySez I think if I had more time with a command line thru SSH for the Pogo or something, I might have more of a use for it. But the web interface is difficult to use with large numbers of files, and the P: driver for Windows just never really impressed me.
07:49:41 PMGoodGuy I thought Id have to pay the $19 a yr just to try it
07:49:45 PMDosbomber Would save a lot of time and aggravation with the client if you clicked a single button and all the mockup stuff would toggle in or out
07:50:10 PMSammySez The Linux stuff to connect to Pogo was fun the first time I did, but is not something I want to do everytime I want to use Pogo from Linux
07:50:14 PMchrisreich Hey SammySez does magicJack have its phone number in the package with the device, or do you get your number on-line, or can you assign a number? How does one get ones phone number w/ MagicJack?
07:50:16 PMalket this zooming makes me dizzy
07:50:21 PMagamotto Dosbomber- You mean like showing/removing layers outlines?
07:50:25 PMGoodGuy They have a version of Linux that runs on it with work SammySez... OpenPogo iirc
07:50:35 PMSammySez GoodGuy - yeah the MagicJack is something I wish I would have spent, oh...., 3 minutes researching on the web before buying it. :)
07:50:41 PMagamotto chrisreich- number is assigned
07:50:51 PMDosbomber agamotto: Yeah, but all the appropriate layers in or out with a macro
07:51:03 PMagamotto Dosbomber- ahhh
07:51:07 PMGoodGuy Everyone complains about the password not being retained and no cut-paste SammySez
07:51:32 PMGoodGuy I researched it a couple yrs ago... over 90% liked it
07:51:38 PMagamotto I am considering one of those Ooma devices myself
07:51:45 PMSammySez with MagicJack, when you buy it, you plug it in and it walks you through a Wizard. You can pick your own number for like an extra $3 if I recall and even has a spell-by-number feature, but I just gave it an area code and let it piok the number for me
07:51:47 PMGoodGuy The ones that didnt, hated it! No middle ground
07:52:16 PMGoodGuy I am also agamotto.. Costco has Ooma for $179 USA
07:52:32 PMagamotto GoodGuy- My major strike against MagicJack is the spyware, along with the fact that removing the software is a nightmare.
07:52:35 PMcable101 hey sammysez when i got rid of comcaST phone i got ooma and it works awesome
07:52:47 PMGoodGuy Just we have health issues, so my wife is scared of net phones
07:52:58 PMSammySez GoodGuy - probably true. I hear others had same issues as me, but after trying everything recommended, it is still bad. I use the soft phone part, but I can get that cheaper in Skype and free in Google. I havent completely given up on it though.
07:53:04 PMalket yea, hide that apple with window :p
07:53:08 PMagamotto GoodGuy- pre-paid mobiles for 911 access?
07:53:12 PMDavetech WOW. Pogo beta software works like a charm!!!
07:53:19 PMchrisreich MagicJack is spyware? Really?
07:53:23 PMSammySez cable101 - yeah someone just turned me on to the ooma link. I need to check that out. It works good huh?
07:53:40 PMGoodGuy We have cheap cell phones.. they didnt work during that midwest blackout
07:53:47 PMagamotto chrisreich- yes, it looks at you browsing habits, to generate the adverts
07:53:52 PMGoodGuy My wife never forgot that
07:54:00 PMSammySez agamotto - yes, I heard that too
07:54:12 PMSammySez and it feeds ads the whole time the "phone"
07:54:13 PMGoodGuy Not like we have week long blackouts often
07:54:15 PMSammySez applet is running
07:54:36 PMagamotto I have made around $150 this year, ripping Magicjack software out of peoples computers
07:54:38 PMSammySez to me it is $40 right down the loo
07:54:58 PMcable101 yeah your able to set router setting for Qos and you have control of your number
07:55:04 PMSammySez agamotto - yes, MagicJack does NOT provide an uninstaller
07:55:16 PMSammySez even if you dont use the software, it spies on you - yes
07:55:16 PMGoodGuy I paid $4 for mine used, but itll be $19 to use it
07:55:21 PMagamotto Most virii dont... chuckle
07:55:42 PMalket Is it just me or the audio is a bit choppy
07:55:47 PMGoodGuy I have Total Uninstaller, so it can uninstall it when need be
07:55:54 PMeuqrop just installed pogoplug soft and it works fine
07:56:05 PMeuqrop installed on my phone
07:56:17 PMGregInTexas may be just you alket ... my audio is perfect
07:56:26 PMeuqrop and iam ....
07:56:29 PMagamotto mine seems to be fine
07:56:32 PMeuqrop whitout words
07:56:58 PMalket Thanks, I think my headphones are starting to get older
07:57:00 PMchrisreich does MagicJack require Windows?
07:57:14 PMagamotto chrisreich- yes, as far as I know
07:57:23 PMSammySez MagicJack is Windoze and Mac
07:57:37 PMcalhydro If its Free its Me
07:57:50 PMSammySez I would run away from it tho
07:57:53 PMSammySez screaming
07:57:54 PMGregInTexas if you are a photographer, gimp wont really be a good fit for you
07:57:58 PMSammySez with malice
07:58:04 PMagamotto Hmmm, I wonder how you would rip the softs out of a Mac....
07:58:24 PMGregInTexas kewl
07:58:35 PMDrawBot_8122 I have grabbed a list of all active users in the chat room.
07:58:36 PMDrawBot_8122 Good luck with the contest!
07:58:38 PMajamison5579 yey
07:58:38 PM_Jot_ is it time for Drawbot?
07:58:43 PMchrisreich so if I install MagicJack on a spare computer on which I dont browse the web, I guess I get random ads. Just thinking...

07:58:48 PMGregInTexas oooo drawbot
07:58:53 PM_Jot_ its the business-pogoplug

07:58:56 PMGadwil The PogoPlug software seems to have an interface close to Dropbox... I like it.
07:59:09 PMagamotto chrisreich- yes, if you put it on a low-power/use machine, then things will be fine
07:59:44 PMdman810 thanks Robbie!
