06:59:52 PMdarktower59 roll VT
06:59:56 PMsimon-seez Jot thanks alot
07:00:07 PMevermind ahh, ok
07:00:13 PMGarbee Jot, That will work, if someone wants to stick to MS proprietary software for running the VM, which is not a good idea.
07:00:15 PMevermind to tell the truth i never run these inside vbox
07:00:24 PMevermind always worked with vmware there
07:00:28 PMGarbee tordeu, using dd would cause driver issues.
07:00:47 PMSammySez simon-seez: Ive used Paragon to do that, as well as VMware tools
07:01:23 PMtordeu really? I only tried that with a USB stick one. But only to access data on it.
07:01:24 PMGarbee RobbieF, If she starts laughing uncontrollably, can you turn her mic off then too?
07:01:28 PMSammySez Rachel looks like a giant candy cane
07:01:38 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, better not let her near the windows... it might get even more bugs
07:02:01 PMGarbee tordeu, Yea. dd copies bit-by-bit, which means drivers go too, and once booted in a VM, kernel panics will occur due to the drivers not being able to work properly.
07:02:21 PM_Jot_ hi agamotto
07:02:27 PMGarbee Nice background RobbieF.
07:02:37 PMevermind @jot "hear no evil, see no evil"

07:03:46 PM_Jot_ OldGuyJim, it is greenscreen, visible on the BSP
07:04:01 PM_Jot_ http://live.category5.tv/bsp.php
07:04:02 PMRaffer green screen
07:04:02 PMSammySez the URL works great
07:04:41 PMSammySez do you have pointy toed shoes?
07:05:03 PMBreebree hi
07:05:17 PMSammySez that green screen works great!
07:05:37 PMtordeu It does, but he should have put Rachel inside the drawer.

07:11:25 PMDave-Maydew Hi VK7HSE de M0DCM Dave
07:11:34 PMDave-Maydew Hope all is good down under??
07:11:39 PMchrisreich agamotto - Impressive. God bless you and those working with you.
07:12:06 PMagamotto chrisreich- yes, we were hoping for fewer this year, but it didnt work out that way
07:12:10 PM_Jot_ agamotto, you were just on giving a special message to Rachel, thanks for that
07:12:35 PMGarbee RachelXu, When in doubt, smile and chat with us. That is how you make a great co-host.
07:12:46 PM_Jot_ Chatting is always good!
07:12:51 PMRachelXu or poke robbie with a stick
07:12:54 PMRachelXu to make him sing
07:12:55 PMGoodGuy RobbieF, RachelXu, There is Windows software call Movie Collector.. I believe they also have mobile apps
07:13:07 PM_Jot_ there are some tripods you can use as a stick, RachelXu, right in front of you
07:13:14 PMGoodGuy NOT freeware
07:13:26 PMGarbee Mount that sucka through your fstab.
07:13:34 PMagamotto I still havent figured out how so many out-of-area people got their hands on our telephone number. This year, I was getting registration requests from all over the country.
07:14:35 PMDave-Maydew Which media software is better Moovida or XBMC?
07:15:05 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- Something of a toss-up. Do you need to record telly at all?
07:15:17 PMGarbee With that command, you *might* need to specify a filesystem type. Most modern linux systems will autodetect the FS though if not provided.
07:15:19 PMDave-Maydew nah
07:15:36 PMGarbee dave-maydew, Depends on your use case and likes as far as UI.
07:15:48 PMDave-Maydew just want to be able to stream YouTube etc. onto my 32" LCD
07:15:50 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- Either will do then. Matter of UI preferences
07:16:10 PMchrisreich RobbieF does this mean that addressing files in /tmp is actually using a symbolic link to their real location?
07:16:16 PMdman810 I have no Audio at all on my ubuntu 10.10, any one have any ideas as to a quick solution is so I can watch the show tonight?
07:16:24 PMagamotto chrisreich- essentially, yes
07:16:47 PMchrisreich I learned something today. So gnight all.
07:16:52 PMScorpio55 Dave-Maydew Boxee comes with loads of features movies, tv etc
07:16:57 PMRachelXu all this info is way over my head
07:16:58 PMagamotto dman810- modprobe alsa?
07:17:01 PMGarbee You can also pipe that output into grep in order to look for certain phrases or terms within the output. -- pipe output of ls -R -all $sharename .
07:17:11 PMDave-Maydew Cheers Scorpio
07:17:39 PMtordeu dman810 - have you checked the sound preferences. Maybe you just muted the sound of the ALSA plug-in that the player uses.
07:17:50 PMScorpio55 Dave-Maydew movies and tv streaming for FREE
07:18:06 PMdman810 tordeu tried that! nothing seems muted
07:18:06 PMDave-Maydew Well, my 7" Android Tablet has arrived but its wrapped up
07:18:07 PMagamotto I found the Boxee software to be tempermental
07:18:10 PMOldGuyJim RachelXu, Robbie is speaking the language of Unix.
07:18:31 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, strange, it works the same on macintosh
07:18:32 PMGarbee RobbieF, Wiki link for what?
07:18:40 PMagamotto RachelXu- These are the incantations of a technomage... beyond your ken.
07:18:41 PMGarbee ^^ I missed what you were saying.
07:18:44 PMchrisreich youve got to define better.
07:18:58 PMdman810 agamotto - modprobe alsa in a terminal?
07:19:04 PMagamotto dman810- yes
07:19:11 PMdman810 says module alsa not found
07:19:11 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF thanks for the answer
07:19:19 PMdman810 do I need to install that then?
07:19:27 PMagamotto dman810- that is most likely the problem then
07:19:31 PMdman810 k
07:19:39 PMchrisreich agamotto, just because RachelXu is lovely doesnt mean shes dumb! :-)
07:19:46 PMDave-Maydew Watching Cat5tv on 32" LCD RobbieF
07:19:54 PMlunatichead quick way to send a mail for the same info find nas | mail -s “list of songs” yourname@domain.com
07:20:04 PMdman810 thats sweet Dave-Maydew
07:20:08 PMagamotto I said nothing about dumb, just beyond her ken... that can change with time.
07:20:15 PMGarbee I didnt think alsa was a module...
07:20:18 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF cheers
07:20:30 PMOldGuyJim dman810...it is possible either the sound driver or the sound card has gone south. Try rebooting to see if you can hear sound when the OS starts up.
07:20:38 PMchrisreich okay, I made an unwarranted leap - and Im just playing around :-)
07:20:48 PMagamotto Garbee- 10.10 has odd problems with treating it as one.
07:21:06 PMGarbee Yea, alsa is not a module... but, here is a list of alsa modules for different sound devices. So find yours and modprobe that... http://alsa.opensrc.org/ALSA_modules
07:21:13 PMtordeu dman810, try pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start
07:21:24 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF cheers
07:21:27 PMDave-Maydew oops
07:21:38 PMDave-Maydew Id install the ALSA PPA
07:22:17 PMagamotto Bekah- I hear that we are being serenaded this evening...
07:22:27 PMRachelXu ah yes totleys dont want to sleep
07:22:30 PMGarbee Dont use a PPA unless you KNOW you need a newer version of ALSA. Upgrading could cause issues with other software.
07:22:32 PMSammySez but card manufacturers are not bound to that standard
07:22:45 PMSammySez one manufactures Class 10 may be anothers Class 4
07:23:07 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, did you feed them milkshake and the sugar is keeping them awake?
07:23:22 PMagamotto Garbee- 10.10 shouldnt give troubles with PPA.... now, 11.10 I can understand giving warning about.
07:23:22 PMRachelXu yes that must be it
07:24:00 PMGarbee https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/speed_class/ .. More info on speeds.
07:24:14 PMagamotto Who knew camera cards could be so diverse?
07:24:20 PMajamison5579 RachelXu they are all just excited Auntie Rachel is there
07:24:24 PMDennis_Kelley thanks guys -BRB
07:24:37 PMchrisreich thats why I still enjoy film photography
07:24:46 PMRachelXu except being evil i brought them no goodies today
07:24:57 PMagamotto chrisreich- hear hear, ISO 1000 all the way
07:25:04 PMgsiegel arent we all excited that Rachel is here tonight ?
07:25:11 PMGarbee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card#Speed_Class_Rating .. This is a list of the *official* units for speed classes.
07:25:17 PMBekah agamotto serenaded indeed!
07:25:25 PMGarbee Yay dinner just arrived.
07:25:27 PMajamison5579 I just realized Robbief is covering the one and only tree in the background
07:25:28 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF say Windows to her
07:25:29 PMchrisreich 35 mm rangefinders rule agamotto!
07:25:38 PMgsiegel did someone say cloud ?
07:25:49 PMlunatichead the only tree...
07:25:53 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, tree? I thought it was hair
07:26:02 PMGoodGuy Isis
07:26:05 PMDave-Maydew hahahahahahaha
07:26:06 PMchrisreich a question for RobbieF - what conditioner do you prefer after shampooing?
07:26:18 PMajamison5579 Elton John 70s Flash backs

07:27:09 PMtordeu I think a tiny hat would complete that outfit.
07:27:11 PMDave-Maydew sorry... Im going Disco Inferno lol
07:27:27 PMagamotto Until a major backbone dies for a few days, reminding everyone of why local storage SHOULD be preferred.
07:28:00 PMGoodGuy already happened to Amazon S3 storage
07:28:19 PMagamotto "Excuse me, did you just sandbox me? How disgusting..."
07:28:38 PMSammySez if it
07:28:45 PMgsiegel nice cloud reference Robbie
07:28:46 PMagamotto According to Puss-n-Boots, it is also a mean insult
07:28:46 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF mentioning wind again to Rachel
07:28:51 PMGoodGuy RachelXu, Take a look at Sandboxie (Windows)
07:28:54 PMchrisreich I now use the guest account in Mac OS X to do my secure browsing. I only access facebook this way now.
07:29:01 PMlunatichead RachelXu: The glasses look Amazin...
07:29:03 PMSammySez if its Win-dohs! its pretty much a guarantee
07:29:08 PMagamotto chrisreich- good idea
07:29:17 PMDennis_kelley ok got audio but on a second computer
07:29:27 PMajamison5579 Robbief i can see the phone call to you now about sand in her machine
07:29:41 PMchrisreich thanks agamotto - I was using a virtual linux box for a while but realized there was an easier way.
07:29:55 PMajamison5579 My brother would do that just to watch me go nuts trying to fix it
07:30:14 PMagamotto chrisreich- as long as it works.... I do my secure browsing from a live cd
07:30:29 PMchrisreich another good way, agamotto
07:30:55 PMgsiegel How about giving some of that money to those of us to have to remove those softwares
07:30:58 PMOldGuyJim Yah...weve been cleaning those bugs off of teacher computers at work.
07:31:00 PMDennis_kelley so are the glasses actually there or is it green screen?
07:31:15 PMagamotto Glasses are real, setting is vrt
07:31:16 PM_Jot_ Dennis, they are actually there
07:31:22 PMDennis_kelley sweet
07:31:29 PMGoodGuy Ubuntu Privacy Remix has TAILS on it as well
07:31:33 PMDennis_kelley I have audio now so that helps?
07:31:39 PMgsiegel or are they all in the cloud ?
07:31:53 PMajamison5579 RachelXu it is where you plug in your pogo duh lol
07:31:57 PMSammySez tails rulz
07:32:09 PMOldGuyJim Dennis_kelley...what fixed the audio?
07:32:15 PMagamotto Robbie needs to turn down the Star of Bethlehem over his head... :)
07:32:25 PM_Jot_ Rachel, they also have software that does the same, so you dont need a device, you can also install it on your computer
07:32:33 PMlunatichead thats the Reflection!!!
07:32:46 PMgsiegel Anyone been playing with Mint 12 ? Mate work nice on old del with 1gb ram
07:32:48 PMDennis_kelley OldGuyJim - I changed computers, I will fix it after the show!
07:32:59 PMajamison5579 lol
07:33:06 PMGoodGuy RobbieF, - I tried the Pogoplug software and it wasnt working on my PC (Windows)
07:33:23 PMGoodGuy I also own a Pogoplug V2 and that works ok
07:33:26 PMSammySez GoodGuy - thats cuz its Winblows
07:33:27 PMlunatichead MATE is Good... works well with a 512 as well with p4 tried it on an old PC
07:33:34 PMagamotto To think of all the money I saved using those round, shiny things...
07:33:35 PMajamison5579 Robbief can you not make your own in the back yard with a saudering iron and some raw silicon, plastic
07:33:35 PMGoodGuy Probably :-(
07:33:39 PMchrisreich I was so happy to find my first flash drive at $50 for two gigabytes that I bought two of them!
07:33:43 PMRachelXu i cant believe i just looked for the star
07:33:47 PMRachelXu i was like w hat are you on about
07:33:51 PMtordeu 64MB? Great, with too of them I could backup my boot partition
07:33:58 PMtordeu *two
07:34:01 PMGoodGuy I contacted them but never got it going
07:34:03 PMDennis_kelley GoodGuy - Pogoplug software works great for my win box
07:34:25 PMagamotto moi
07:34:26 PMgsiegel its actually a floating cloud
07:34:29 PMGarbee I think that glow is actually subliminal advertising.
07:34:44 PMGoodGuy Wish mine did Dennis_kelley .. I tried shutting the firewal off, adding port forward to my router etc
07:35:03 PMGoodGuy They did contact me, but we never got it working
07:35:32 PMSammySez what?!? Windows has issues? Say it isnt so!
07:36:04 PMsmittysmit for all of you that take take care of company machines, watch out for re directs to get-answers-fast. Had to wipe the drive
07:36:10 PMSammySez GoodGuy - same here - they told me to buy a Maxtor drive because their software (P: drive) didnt work - seriously
07:36:14 PMagamotto smittysmit- ouch
07:36:23 PMGoodGuy I ran out of ideas.. I was thinking of connecting w/o a router just to eliminate that factor
07:36:27 PMDennis_kelley anyone know of a good GRUB tutorial
07:37:09 PMGoodGuy I got the Linux Drive software in the past... I believe I did the old Windows drive in the past
07:37:28 PMagamotto Sounds like something Best Buy would try
07:37:30 PMSammySez pogoplugfs
07:37:30 PMScorpio55 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
07:37:32 PMajamison5579 Do they not have video cameras over the cashiers in Canada?
07:37:33 PMGarbee RachelXu, Trust me, I have people sign those all day... NO ONE READS THE RECEIPT THEY SIGN!
07:37:35 PM_Jot_ Robbief, Can I have some of that money you swiped to go shopping?
07:37:38 PMGoodGuy http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
07:37:39 PMajamison5579 they have them all over here
07:38:12 PMagamotto Garbee- I must be weird then... I actually hold up the line until I am finished reading them.
07:38:23 PMOldGuyJim RobbieF...I heard the same thing...it pays to check your receipt.
07:38:32 PMRachelXu i guess im cheap i always read my receipts
07:38:32 PMGarbee RobbieF, Yes, It does happen. I have heard of a few cases in the areas around me.
07:38:56 PMchrisreich I paid for a $4.95 purchase once with a five dollar bill and got 38 cents change once.
07:39:13 PMtordeu Math is hard.
07:39:30 PMagamotto Just check it out with Snopes,com first, before having panic attack.
07:39:31 PMGarbee RachelXu, No, you just care to make sure that you are signing the right paper for the right amount.
07:39:40 PM_Jot_ chrisreich, thats accurate, your dollar is worth so little, that inflation made the 38ct worth the same as 5ct in the time it took to grab the change
07:39:46 PMagamotto I suppose the best solution would be to ditch any card, and just pay cash...
07:40:05 PMGoodGuy 75.75.75.75
07:40:16 PMGarbee If this is openDNS...
07:40:17 PMGoodGuy Google DNS
07:40:49 PMchrisreich but it was all currency from the same country. I blamed the local school system. I straightened her out in the end. She didnt even seem embarassed, _Jot_
07:40:53 PMGarbee Poor Canadians... always needing to use .ca vs .com... So much more memorization work.
07:41:04 PMGoodGuy 75.75.75.75 is Comcast
07:41:21 PMtordeu try 127.0.0.1 Thats me!
07:41:30 PMGoodGuy lol tordeu
07:41:34 PMgsiegel tordeau is a loop..lol
07:41:34 PMRachelXu yes Garbee its almost too much to bear
07:41:35 PM_Jot_ chrisreich, I am sure they care, but they handle money all day long so it isnt such a big deal for them
07:41:35 PMGarbee 127.56.73.23 is me.
07:41:39 PMGoodGuy not its ME
07:41:53 PMchrisreich "Theres no place like 127.0.0.1"
07:42:01 PMtordeu What? But I always get that IP.
07:42:12 PMRachelXu all i can say is thankgoodness im no longer in customer service
07:42:13 PMagamotto fe:e3:21:a5:c3;ff
07:42:27 PMRaffer i hacked 127.0.0.1
07:42:38 PMagamotto Very good program... I use it every few months under WINE
07:42:39 PMGarbee Wow, I hope Robbie isnt just now learning about this program...
07:43:07 PMGarbee It runs fine in Wine since Steve writes in Machine Language.

07:44:15 PMGoodGuy Namebench is from Google?

07:46:02 PMagamotto GoodGuy- I imagine not

07:46:28 PMRachelXu your lucky you escaped with your life
07:46:34 PMGoodGuy Now I am a Facebook game widow lol
07:46:35 PMagamotto My mum gets toasty every time one of her coupon printers disappears from her computer.
07:46:39 PMSammySez what IPs are in that list - other DNS servers? I missed that part
07:46:58 PMagamotto SammySez- yes
07:47:02 PMSammySez thx
07:47:09 PMagamotto it tries to find the fastest
07:47:11 PMtordeu My computer does not know Cat5:ping RobbieF
07:47:13 PMtordeu ping: unknown host RobbieF
07:47:14 PMagamotto for your area
07:47:41 PMchrisreich Im now noticing about a half second delay in the video with respect to the audio.
07:47:46 PMGarbee tordeu, you need " ping www.example.com "
07:47:52 PMagamotto Ahh, be adventurous... go edit your router/gateway
07:48:03 PMlunatichead agamotto: I havent used Namebench, BUt thats there in the repos
07:48:11 PMGoodGuy Many times sites turn off ping replies
07:48:55 PMDennis_kelley Rachel looks so bored!
07:49:05 PMlunatichead Looks Like!!!
07:49:06 PMRachelXu no just lost
07:49:08 PMlunatichead ahah
07:49:08 PMRachelXu so terribly lost
07:49:10 PMagamotto Yes, I can vouch for the fact that many ATT/Yahoo DNS servers are regularly hosed
07:49:10 PMSammySez thats pretty cool
07:49:16 PM_Jot_ its because people are talking about this technology stuff, and RachelXu doesnt understand it
07:49:17 PMDennis_kelley Me to!!
07:49:30 PMGarbee The DNS update can make speed barley noticeable for some, and very much noticeable for others... For me, I saw almost no improvement in speed.
07:49:42 PMBekah RachelXu I can see the bewilderment in your face
07:49:42 PMBekah lol
07:49:43 PMagamotto Garbee- nice connection then
07:49:47 PMRachelXu i would love to improve my speed my computer is so slow
07:49:53 PMRachelXu but for me to attempt what he just did
07:49:54 PMsimon-seez can you test it in virtual windows
07:49:55 PMRachelXu i might blow up my computer
07:49:57 PMRachelXu in the process
07:50:05 PMagamotto RachelXu- First, delete Windows....
07:50:09 PMGoodGuy Have to learn in time RachelXu .. no one was born knowing any of it
07:50:09 PMRachelXu hehe
07:50:16 PMDennis_kelley you need to hire Robbie to fix your computer!
07:50:21 PMlunatichead hehehe DELETE WINDOWS...
07:50:23 PMBekah I just had a visual of your computer exploding
07:50:23 PMRachelXu yes but the linux penguins are sinister
07:50:24 PMGoodGuy Or Dual Boot agamotto
07:50:28 PMRachelXu they are out to get me
07:50:32 PMagamotto RachelXu- Blow it up? No, worst that can happen is that you lose your net connection.
07:50:32 PM_Jot_ I bet RobbieF will fix RachelXus computer for free
07:50:57 PMagamotto RachelXu- They just want you to eat more fish...
07:51:02 PMlunatichead thats cool
07:51:06 PMevermind talking bout dns, paypal is taking for ever to log me in tonight:/
07:51:07 PMBekah RachelXu did you know that the Linux penguins are real and that they come to life whenever you leave the room?
07:51:19 PMchrisreich now THAT woke RachelXu up!
07:51:33 PMSammySez girl scout cookies
07:51:34 PMGoodGuy You should see my granddaughter.... she brings over plastic critters to attack me lol.. A huge scorpion got me ten times
07:51:36 PM_Jot_ Bekah, has RobbieF been talking to you under the influence of Guiness?
07:51:37 PMlunatichead Ys it di...:)
07:51:38 PMchrisreich a christmas jalepeno!
07:51:50 PMtordeu I never had a pickle on my tree.
07:51:50 PMevermind yah, common thingy this year
07:51:53 PMagamotto Coolies, first a pickle, next a Christmas cracker!
07:51:56 PMRaffer realy never heard of that and im from germany
07:51:59 PMevermind im not gonna have pickles hanging my my tree though
07:52:08 PMTrekkie00 me neither
07:52:10 PMSammySez i thought it was something else - produced by a Keebler elf
07:52:12 PMBekah _Jot_ haha
07:52:27 PMchrisreich when she was little, my daughter once proclaimed "Pickle is my favorite vegetable".
07:52:28 PMdarktower59 is the pickle like a Pogo Plug?
07:52:29 PMtordeu yeah, no pickles in northern germany
07:52:34 PMtordeu who does that?
07:52:36 PMagamotto Raffer- Very old custom.... goes back to the 1100s
07:52:46 PMGarbee RobbieF, When are you going to grow your hair back out? I miss the Mullet.
07:52:47 PMRaffer ok
07:53:00 PMajamison5579 Do you guys up north in Canada still have Loons as currency or what ever they are called when i went up there they had coins with ducks on them called Loons or some such
07:53:03 PMScorpio55 RobbieF who designed the cat5 xmas card
07:53:13 PMRachelXu yes they are loons on the loonie
07:53:14 PMagamotto Raffer- Started out as a Bavarian/Tyrolian custom
07:53:16 PMlunatichead RobbieF: Try Namebench that a native Linux DNS benchmark tool.. Havent used it though
07:53:17 PMu-al Rachel looks like a candy cane
07:53:19 PMGarbee There is a Cat5 xmas card?
07:53:24 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, why did it go dark again so soon?
07:53:28 PMRachelXu im supposed to be festive
07:53:31 PMGoodGuy I got an invalid token logging in via Lastpass
07:53:32 PMSammySez I meant a hoagie
07:53:34 PMRachelXu but yes candycaneesque
07:53:48 PMGarbee lunatichead, Robbie has tried it, but GRCs solution blows it out of the water as far as features.
07:53:52 PMBekah ajamison557 yes, our dollar coin has a loon on it
07:53:57 PMGoodGuy A jar of Christmas Pickles might!
07:54:01 PMlunatichead I AM READY FOR THE POGO>>> Do they get shipped to INDIA?
07:54:11 PM_Jot_ lunatichead, yes, they do
07:54:15 PMGoodGuy RachelXu, is that your Norwegian voice?
07:54:27 PMSammySez RobbieF: RachelXu: where do babies come from?
07:54:30 PMRachelXu thats my im a weirdo voice
07:54:30 PMOldGuyJim Good night all.
07:54:34 PMlunatichead oooh ok was not aware of that... thanks for the info
07:54:40 PMajamison5579 I am surprised I remember that last time I was in Canada was way back in 1993 ish to see Billy Joel in concert at the Skydome
07:54:57 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, would be nice if the homepage actually loaded and wasnt overloaded
07:54:58 PMSammySez gimme a sec to login
07:55:13 PMGarbee im in.
07:55:20 PMagamotto ajamison5579- It has been nearly 10 years for me.
07:55:26 PMSammySez trying
07:55:28 PMSammySez my DNS is slow
07:55:33 PMBekah ajamison5579 we have several animal coins - a caribou, a loon, a bear, and a beaver
07:55:40 PMSammySez ok
07:55:41 PMtordeu I want 2nd place
07:55:45 PMSammySez now you can boot everyone else
07:55:51 PMajamison5579 its ironic seeing as I live just across the lake from Ontario
07:55:52 PMGoodGuy I cant see where to go
07:55:59 PMGoodGuy on the site :-)
07:56:21 PMDennis_kelley _Jot_ is slowing down!
07:56:22 PMSammySez what are we spuppoed to be cliing?
07:56:25 PMSammySez clicking?
07:56:40 PMchrisreich RobbieF is that your band playing in the background?
07:56:53 PMmaxwell6307 wtg jot
07:56:56 PMagamotto ajamison5579- One of the funniest things in my area is how some people will not cross the river to get somewhere...
07:56:59 PMajamison5579 As if jot needed another Pogoplug
07:57:00 PMajamison5579 lol
07:57:01 PMDennis_kelley _Jot_ Won again?
07:57:16 PM_Jot_ Yay! Jot wins! Again!
07:57:20 PMSammySez huh - that was interesting
07:57:26 PMSammySez what were we supposed to click?
07:57:34 PMDennis_kelley _Jot_ - Good job winning! Again!!
07:57:49 PMDennis_kelley Dual Mice!
07:57:51 PM_Jot_ SammySez, on the website there was a banner to a link with a click-button that you had to click
07:57:57 PMGarbee I think he started before Robbie said go.
07:58:09 PMSammySez _Jot_ can hook them together to make an Open Nebula cloud ;)
07:58:13 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, its because of Planet Calypso that I am so good at clicking, before they had the automate-actions
07:58:14 PMDennis_kelley What _Jot_ does not cheat!!!
07:58:15 PMSammySez oh ok
07:58:19 PMSammySez I missed that part
07:58:20 PMlunatichead ooooooooopssss I completely missed the banner ahahhah
07:58:40 PMlunatichead sure will do that
07:58:48 PMlunatichead ahahah
07:58:50 PMlunatichead ahah
07:58:54 PMSammySez oh I see
07:59:02 PMSammySez so you have to get in fast to be part of the heat
07:59:11 PMagamotto This coming from someone who names a child Zech?
07:59:20 PMSammySez then you have to have a fast internet connection to kepp up with click
07:59:24 PMSammySez cool idea though
07:59:40 PM_Jot_ SammySez, I have a 25mbit connection, glassfiber, and gigabit networking, so yeah, eveyrthing is fast here :)
07:59:42 PMDennis_kelley Hello RobbieF
07:59:42 PMmaxwell6307 thanks guys
07:59:46 PMajamison5579 she had to much champaign prior to that photo shoot

07:59:59 PMu-al =uncle al

08:00:29 PMchrisreich All my best to everyone. Even sprintcowboy.
08:00:29 PMGarbee RobbieF, I like the sweater-vest.
08:00:31 PMDennis_kelley Bekah - Thanks for giving us Robbief for the hour!
08:00:34 PMajamison5579 that was a great show and I am not even really a trekie
08:00:48 PMTrekkie00 should be one ;)
08:00:57 PMSammySez laterz
08:01:06 PMGoodGuy I tried using a video editor to cut the pieces out.. mostly worked
08:01:12 PMRobbieF hahah, rachel stepping out of the frame :)
08:01:22 PMRachelXu yes my hands got cut off
08:01:30 PMGarbee RobbieF, Audio is still live.
08:01:36 PMlunatichead that was a good show...
08:01:36 PMevermind mic is on, robby
08:01:40 PMevermind erm robbie
08:01:41 PMSammySez we can still hear you
08:01:43 PMevermind indeed
08:01:44 PMlunatichead the Audio is still live
08:01:56 PMSammySez hah!
08:02:05 PMSammySez no to get him to describe his secret recipe
08:02:44 PMRachelXu alrighty sorry everyone for being a blob today i was so afraid of starting a coughing attack
08:02:48 PMRachelXu and deafening you all
08:03:07 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, dont worry, you were doing fine, and you gave the cough to Robie, so you managed very well
08:03:25 PMRachelXu at least i got a christmas pickle out of it
08:03:31 PMagamotto blob? I have seen on-air news announcers less animated
08:04:03 PM_Jot_ I always wondered what the difference is between pickles and gurkins
08:04:13 PMlunatichead RachelXu: I enjoyed the show... u were fine...
08:04:22 PMRachelXu thanks
08:04:29 PMRachelXu dont want to be the first 1 star rating episode hehe
08:04:43 PMSammySez heh heh
08:04:44 PMDennis_kelley RobbieF - when are you available to chat? or is chatting online ok?
08:04:57 PMlunatichead Got to set My Christmas tree...
08:04:59 PMagamotto Nah, you have a long way to go to reach that.
08:05:07 PMSammySez so I just wrote a script against the Click Race thing and have it loop hundreds of times in multiple tabs
08:05:10 PMGarbee RachelXu, Episode 11 is the only one with a 1 star rating.
08:05:14 PMGoodGuy I wanted another laughing session... it was fun to see
08:05:23 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, Im sure you are a star, isnt that enough?
08:05:23 PMSammySez but my connection is UMTS so it doesnt matter
08:05:40 PMagamotto One of our local on-air talents is notable almost solely for how her makeup moves independently of her face... now that is 1 star worthy
08:05:51 PMmaxwell6307 cya all take care
08:06:01 PMagamotto _Jot_- gherkins are baby pickles
08:06:14 PM_Jot_ kick the baby?
08:06:25 PMRachelXu gherkins are these sweet wierd gag worthy pickles
08:06:38 PMGoodGuy I can tell I am getting old.. I can name most of the HSN hosts and who will demo the electronic products
08:07:08 PMagamotto GoodGuy- Old, no. In desperate need of alternative programming, yes.
08:07:19 PMDennis_kelley GoodGuy - Wow! thats talent!
08:07:40 PMGoodGuy If you watch many of the shows, they have regular followers
08:07:59 PMGoodGuy Especially QVC - In the Kitchen with David
08:08:22 PMagamotto Why does that fact actually scare me?
08:08:30 PMGoodGuy No it means you no longer have a life Dennis_kelley lol
08:08:30 PMlunatichead See Ya Guys... Had a Good time..
08:08:36 PMRachelXu tata
08:09:00 PMDennis_kelley GoodGuy - thats good to know! useless trivia from HSN
08:09:03 PMGoodGuy many elderly folks are fairly homebound
08:09:10 PMagamotto ? You getting a new car from India?
08:09:14 PM_Jot_ I was thinking, this makes 3 pogoplugs, because I also have the software-license for free since I participated in the beta back when
08:09:18 PMlunatichead TATA guys..
08:09:25 PMlunatichead TATA RachelXu
08:09:30 PM_Jot_ tata
08:09:39 PMRachelXu Robbie says the sound lag was like a bad dubbed chinese film
08:09:58 PM_Jot_ I thought it was a little gung-ho
08:10:07 PMGoodGuy Do you have the Pink Pogoplug _Jot_ ?
08:10:15 PM_Jot_ yep
08:10:18 PMDennis_kelley I do!
08:10:45 PM_Jot_ I think it is the 2nd version that I have now
08:10:45 PMGoodGuy same here.. the black ones are sold for $49 at a local Best Buy
08:10:49 PMRachelXu i dont have any pogoplug
08:10:50 PMDennis_kelley They sent me a pink one when My black one died
08:10:52 PMRachelXu i should have tried clicking
08:10:54 PMRachelXu :)
08:11:15 PMSammySez are the black ones the newer ones? the "pro" model?
08:11:22 PMGoodGuy They are really nice if you share files with family or friends RachelXu
08:11:22 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, go ahead: http://category5.tv/contest/clickrace.php
08:11:23 PMRachelXu when my printer died they replaced it with a french version
08:11:29 PMRachelXu now i have to guess what all the buttons are for
08:11:48 PMGoodGuy The Pro model is black also, but way more expensive
08:11:49 PMRachelXu a bit belated jot
08:11:54 PMSammySez a french version? did it come with a sack of white flags by chance?
08:11:55 PMDennis_kelley RachelXu - french is a good lang to knwo!
08:11:59 PMDennis_kelley Know!
08:12:03 PMRachelXu im working on mandarin
08:12:05 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, of course! I couldnt have you win accidentily against me
08:12:10 PMRachelXu 3 languages is too much for my poor brain
08:12:15 PMRachelXu my brain will go on strike
08:12:17 PMGoodGuy They just added a new Pogoplug Mobile
08:12:32 PMRachelXu you would lose jot im a click master :)
08:12:56 PMagamotto Well, I am off to do some reading with the cat. I feel like curling up on the couch with some cocoa.
08:13:03 PMSammySez thx GoodGuy, so a black one may be the same as the pink one if the black one is not labeled "pro"? I have a pink one that I rarely use because of the poor interface. My just install DSL on it or something
08:13:06 PMGoodGuy RachelXu, - Do you have a BIO on the web site? It sounded like you have travelled a lot
08:13:11 PMRachelXu enjoy agamotto
08:13:17 PMagamotto New ST book to spend some time with....
08:13:29 PMRachelXu i have a bio goodguy but it doesnt mention travels that i recall
08:13:30 PMGoodGuy I think the $49 Black one is
08:13:53 PMSammySez GoodGuy: ok - thanks - good to know
08:13:54 PMGoodGuy I thought I heard you saying you have been various places
08:13:57 PMRachelXu best adventure was when i went to pet an elephant and it picked me up with its trunk and stood on its back legs and held me over its head
08:14:04 PMRachelXu or the time i rode an ostrich
08:14:09 PMRachelXu had a saddle and everything
08:14:10 PMGoodGuy Whoa :-)
08:14:11 PMSammySez I may just wipe this one and stick something more useful on it
08:14:25 PMGoodGuy Where did all that happen?
08:14:33 PMRachelXu That was in Beijing
08:14:36 PMSammySez hopefully outside
08:15:12 PMRachelXu yeah no pet ostriches in my living room hehe
08:15:18 PMGoodGuy How did you end up in Beijing if you dont mind my asking?
08:15:27 PMGoodGuy lol
08:15:29 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, are you challenging me to PVP? I do have a SGA edition guide marber, its one shot and youre dead
08:15:48 PMGoodGuy We just have a cat.... no large birds
08:15:49 PMdarktower59 RobbieF - Ubuntu has namebench for DNS benchmarks
08:16:08 PMRachelXu i was travelling all around china
08:16:15 PMGoodGuy What does PVP mean? I saw that a few days ago
08:16:20 PMRobbieF as I said; namebench is not as good. It (unlike the one I showed) is agnostic toward whether the servers are actually RELIABLE>
08:16:20 PM_Jot_ Player Versus Player
08:16:25 PMRachelXu been to macau, hong kong hainan shanghai beijing and kunming
08:16:35 PMGoodGuy Sounds interesting RachelXu
08:16:40 PMdarktower59 ok - missed that
08:16:50 PMRobbieF :P
08:16:53 PM_Jot_ PVP in games is were participants compete against each other, instead of against computer-generated monsters etc
08:16:57 PMRachelXu i dont know what a sga edition guide marber is jot
08:17:09 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, http://www.entropedia.info/Info.aspx?chart=Weapon&name=SGA_Edition_Guide_Marber
08:17:28 PM_Jot_ make Robbie explain what it means :)
08:17:35 PMRachelXu an online gun?
08:17:40 PMGoodGuy I saw your name mentioned on the site in the past, but missed that episode.. I expected you to be Chinese
08:18:05 PM_Jot_ RachelXu, its a gun that I use on planet calypso sometimes, but not so much because it has a slow reload
08:18:07 PMGarbee RobbieF, You can stop baking under those massive light-emitters now.
08:18:10 PMGoodGuy First time I saw you was the time you laughed at cloud lol
08:18:23 PMRachelXu ah yes the dreaded cloud
08:18:27 PMRachelXu he tried to trip me up today
08:18:46 PMRachelXu christa says all co hosts go through it at some point :) hehe
08:18:46 PMGarbee RachelXu, What is wrong with Robbie? He doesnt look happy.
08:18:56 PMRachelXu ahh its cause hes trying to fix the sound
08:19:00 PMRachelXu it got lagging so hes lining it up
08:19:03 PMGoodGuy I thought it was cute.... seems very friendly and full of life
08:19:10 PMGarbee Ah, that explains it.
08:19:37 PMGarbee The audio was all in-sync when live, so it was only on the recording where it got behind then.
08:19:52 PMRachelXu it was towards the end it started getting messed up
08:19:57 PMRachelXu but he seems to have fixed it :)
08:19:59 PMRobbieF yeah its pretty bad :(
08:20:13 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, RachelXu, sorry for clicking so much that the server is still overloading from handling it
08:20:33 PMRachelXu if i was on my home computer trying the click race
08:20:43 PMDennis_kelley mountl+
08:20:44 PMRachelXu i would have gotten one click that computer is so slow
08:20:45 PMGoodGuy My Windows Networking stack is kind of screwed up.... I can access the internet etc
08:21:06 PMGoodGuy Perhaps that is why the Pogoplug software has problems
08:21:19 PMlinda nick socket_red
08:21:52 PMGoodGuy I installed Netsetman ages ago.. wonder if that messed something up at the time
08:22:09 PMRachelXu i wouldnt have a clue and unfortuneatly RObbie is too busy to ask at la moment
08:22:19 PMRachelXu linda, theres a lady on here
08:22:21 PMRachelXu surprise surprise
08:22:27 PMGoodGuy It allows the user to store various network settings and switch them as needed
08:23:01 PMRachelXu robbies playing the santa again
08:23:01 PMRachelXu egad
08:23:09 PMsocket_red all the lindas belong to us
08:23:17 PMsocket_red im a guy
08:23:36 PMGoodGuy Still working
08:23:46 PMRachelXu reloading windows is such a chore
08:23:56 PMRachelXu thats what my computer needs
08:23:58 PMGoodGuy Plus I have multiple Linux installs as well
08:24:04 PMDennis_kelley GoodGuy - any Idea what grub-probe: error: Cannot open /boot/grub/device.map
08:24:21 PMGuest_4771 qqqqq
08:24:27 PMGoodGuy Did you run sudo update-grub?
08:24:45 PMRobbieF Plug the thingamajig in the thingamadoodle
08:24:57 PMDennis_kelley grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
08:25:02 PMajamison5579 the biggest issue with Windows is that it is easier most times to just wipe it and re-install it then try to fix it
08:25:08 PMajamison5579 thanks Registry
08:25:12 PMajamison5579 lol
