|
| 07:12:57 PM | _Jot_ | yes Razor62
|
| 07:12:58 PM | invinciblemutant | one can create more key strokes without productivity with lots of backspaces
|
| 07:13:04 PM | invinciblemutant | lol
|
| 07:13:06 PM | _Jot_ | it is live right now
|
| 07:13:42 PM | Razor62 | just showing justintv flashing on and off

|
| 07:14:20 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF, - How much memory is your iPod Touch?
|
| 07:15:18 PM | _Jot_ | ErikaL, if even RobbieF can do it, then you can do it twice as fast and three times as good
|
| 07:15:39 PM | Michaeliowa | that is me
|
| 07:15:50 PM | ErikaL | woooo congrats !
|
| 07:15:54 PM | GoodGuy | Congrats Michaeliowa

|
| 07:15:58 PM | _Jot_ | grats Michaeliowa for winning
|
| 07:16:03 PM | agamotto | Yay!
|
| 07:16:03 PM | Michaeliowa | thanks
|
| 07:16:04 PM | invinciblemutant | congrats
|
| 07:16:19 PM | Yazid1965 | congrats
|
| 07:16:35 PM | ajamison5579 | is the audio out of sync for anyone else
|
| 07:16:48 PM | GoodGuy | Or hook it to a Raspberry Pi
|
| 07:16:52 PM | Michaeliowa | thanks
|
| 07:16:59 PM | GoodGuy | fine here ajamison5579
|
| 07:16:59 PM | pyrosrock | no its fine on ustream
|
| 07:16:59 PM | AliceEU_ | audio is fine for me
|
| 07:17:00 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, problem with using less power is that the electric companies will claim more expenses and make everything more expensive, so you won't actually save the enviroment, or save money
|
| 07:17:02 PM | agamotto | I found that getting rid of cable tv service did drop our electric bill a bit.
|
| 07:17:13 PM | GoodGuy | I agree _Jot_
|
| 07:17:21 PM | GoodGuy | That really annoys me
|
| 07:17:32 PM | GoodGuy | Pay more for less
|
| 07:17:54 PM | mathman47 | Very strange - sound but no video on either ustream or justintv.
|
| 07:18:01 PM | agamotto | Sounds like Digital tv in the States
|
| 07:18:17 PM | _Jot_ | that's odd mathman47, it does work for me and others
|
| 07:19:28 PM | agamotto | mathman47- sounds like your Flash is mangled
|
| 07:19:39 PM | mathman47 | It worked for the first 5 minutes, then blank. I have logged off & back on - only sound.
|
| 07:21:17 PM | T0B33 | I do that all the time
|
| 07:21:32 PM | agamotto | Looks like my usual entries for security questions
|
| 07:22:32 PM | agamotto | That is a good price
|
| 07:22:47 PM | GoodGuy | But no pictures of Danica Patrick on that host lol
|
| 07:23:07 PM | AliceEU_ | heh
|
| 07:23:17 PM | ErikaL | lol
|
| 07:24:33 PM | T0B33 | People in my village did that to me when i was a kid :(
|
| 07:25:21 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, one reason to not use a password on wifi: it can be easily cracked if you use one, and in some countries you are responsible for what happens. If you have no password, you an claim plausible deniability
|
| 07:25:22 PM | pyrosrock | :/ lol no encription on my wifi
|
| 07:25:54 PM | Michaeliowa | RobbieF I jest send you a email my addresses:-D Thanks
|
| 07:26:31 PM | agamotto | I found a neat hack for my gateway that allows me to use a couple of channels that are outside the usual range.
|
| 07:26:33 PM | invinciblemutant | u can claim...
|
| 07:26:47 PM | GoodGuy | He is saying a hacker can do wrong and blame you
|
| 07:27:09 PM | GoodGuy | If no password, it is easy to deny you alone could have done it
|
| 07:27:31 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF every time i put a encription on my WiFi i have conection issues!
|
| 07:27:40 PM | GoodGuy | That is illegal agamotto .. depending on nation
|
| 07:27:44 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: change the channel
|
| 07:28:24 PM | T0B33 | Some one did that to me. Took my internet connection. Saw some one sat outside on my wall with a laptop .....
|
| 07:28:37 PM | Yazid1965 | try different channels
|
| 07:28:47 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: change your router to use other channels, probably there is interference with the current one
|
| 07:28:49 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF but its only with some computers where they just dont accept the password
|
| 07:29:34 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant i have tryed all the channels that are clean with no other wifi on them
|
| 07:29:36 PM | Michaeliowa | lol
|
| 07:29:41 PM | U-Al | should you hide the ssid
|
| 07:29:54 PM | agamotto | U-Al- it helps
|
| 07:29:55 PM | _Jot_ | usually the 5ghz is still pretty clear, but you need a router that can use it
|
| 07:30:00 PM | invinciblemutant | i use to talk to a professor in the US, he says he does not care abou tthe security because his farm house is far from neighbours
|
| 07:30:34 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: it could be other signal, bear in mind that some mice use the same rf too
|
| 07:31:02 PM | agamotto | Mice, keyboards, microwaves, FRS walkie-talkies...
|
| 07:31:08 PM | Michaeliowa | yes
|
| 07:31:24 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant we dont have anny wireless mice other than mums bluetooth mac mouse
|
| 07:32:11 PM | mathman47 | Rebooted, now I can see! It's a miracle!
|
| 07:32:15 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, I think you discovered what makes ErikaL go laugh, just like clouds with eehmm whatshername
|
| 07:32:20 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: as long as your machine conforms to the standard, it should be ok
|
| 07:32:45 PM | GoodGuy | Rachael Xu
|
| 07:33:14 PM | T0B33 | Hahaha that was reeeealy funny when Rachel laughed at the cloud!
|
| 07:33:19 PM | _Jot_ | mathman47, and you opened your eyes! good job!
|
| 07:34:03 PM | pyrosrock | kids dont need Facebook!
|
| 07:34:06 PM | mathman47 | Jot - that helped too.
|
| 07:34:06 PM | agamotto | Is that 13 according to the calendar, or by mental age?
|
| 07:34:13 PM | T0B33 | I can see this been hacked on facebook and been used to hack accounts
|
| 07:34:23 PM | _Jot_ | I wonder if that is 13 in RobbieF years, or normal human years?
|
| 07:34:37 PM | AliceEU_ | facebook is strange anyway
|
| 07:34:53 PM | pyrosrock | no halo is super boring and crap ErikaL
|
| 07:34:59 PM | AliceEU_ | before facebook you didnt call your friends telling them "ya, i just sit on the toilet laying an egg"
|
| 07:35:08 PM | AliceEU_ | not on facebook ppl do that all the time
|
| 07:35:11 PM | agamotto | hahaahahahah
|
| 07:35:14 PM | AliceEU_ | who needs that info ^.-
|
| 07:35:25 PM | cybersmurf | lol
|
| 07:35:44 PM | _Jot_ | if I laid an egg, I would take pictures and post them and send them to my doctor and ask if it was normal
|
| 07:35:51 PM | agamotto | Sounds like trying to control the Enterprise with a PADD...
|
| 07:36:08 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF it will only work on win tablets
|
| 07:36:20 PM | mathman47 | JOT - RobbieF lays eggs every Tues.
|
| 07:36:34 PM | GoodGuy | 70 Billion can afford a lot of R&D
|
| 07:37:14 PM | agamotto | Which is why Nintendo will be going the way of Sony in the next few years
|
| 07:37:47 PM | SovereignEntity | agamotto what happened to sony
|
| 07:37:57 PM | _Jot_ | ErikaL, it is the same with blueberry, you also have to buy that tablet to use it with their phone
|
| 07:38:03 PM | _Jot_ | blackberry
|
| 07:38:06 PM | _Jot_ | any berry really
|
| 07:38:16 PM | agamotto | SovereignEntity- they are falling apart financially
|
| 07:38:44 PM | pyrosrock | no 802.11ac article RobbieF ?????
|
| 07:38:56 PM | ErikaL | not sure what a blue berry is
|
| 07:39:13 PM | agamotto | It is a Blackberry w/o a data plan
|
| 07:39:41 PM | maxwell6307 | raspberrie pi
|
| 07:39:48 PM | invinciblemutant | blueberry is a phone produced in malaysia
|
| 07:39:48 PM | T0B33 | hahahahahhahahaahah
|
| 07:39:57 PM | invinciblemutant | google blueberry malaysia
|
| 07:40:18 PM | U-Al | lol
|
| 07:41:22 PM | agamotto | No, the outrage is mostly over the 'connection' to the smart meters isn
|
| 07:41:27 PM | agamotto | 't encrypted
|
| 07:41:47 PM | T0B33 | Speaking of technology having weird names has any one seen the name for fedora 17? Beefy Miracle!? lol
|
| 07:41:50 PM | SovereignEntity | They just wasted a lot of ip addresses
|
| 07:43:02 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF i want a smart meter so i can see how my Solar Panels are working!
|
| 07:43:46 PM | ErikaL | thes awesome i wish our house had solar panels.
|
| 07:43:54 PM | _Jot_ | pyrosrock, you don't, cause with normal meters, your meter will run back and so you pay less, with smart meters, they register how much you spend and how much you create seperatly, so you have to pay additional transport costs for sending and receiving, plus extra taxes
|
| 07:44:36 PM | Yazid1965 | RobbieF you are focused on Erika
|
| 07:44:44 PM | ErikaL | lol
|
| 07:44:47 PM | _Jot_ | ErikaL is nice to look at, no problems there
|
| 07:44:50 PM | pyrosrock | _Jot_ our smart meters run back and u get payed more for what u give back than what u use
|
| 07:45:14 PM | Yazid1965 | Erika give him a nudge
|
| 07:45:28 PM | ErikaL | lol im letting it go
|
| 07:46:01 PM | _Jot_ | ErikaL, you could playback him like you were saying it, and not RobbieF
|
| 07:46:20 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF - ErikaL How do you know if you have a smart meter?
|
| 07:46:44 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, if it is electronic, it is smart, if it is mechanical, you can see the mechanics move, and it is not smart
|
| 07:47:07 PM | ErikaL | im not sure ive never checked it my self but ill ask robbie
|
| 07:47:11 PM | GoodGuy | They installed water meters that can be read remotely
|
| 07:47:17 PM | AliceEU_ | and if it solves mathematical problems Jot?
|
| 07:47:44 PM | GoodGuy | Dont think the electric meters can be read remotely, but maybe I am incorrect
|
| 07:47:50 PM | _Jot_ | AliceEU_, I don't know, it didn't have enough buttons like a calculator, so I could never count on it
|
| 07:48:00 PM | AliceEU_ | :P
|
| 07:48:33 PM | _Jot_ | the smart meters are capable of sending your electrical usage every second to the electrical companies, usually they are limited to once every 15 minutes or once every half hour or even less
|
| 07:48:33 PM | Michaeliowa | good we are back on Erikal
|
| 07:48:44 PM | T0B33 | Haha!
|
| 07:48:46 PM | ErikaL | lol :D
|
| 07:49:07 PM | _Jot_ | wow, there's ErikaL again, and that bald guy
|
| 07:49:23 PM | GoodGuy | Our son took mine and hasnt given it back
|
| 07:49:28 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy- Depends where your
|
| 07:49:36 PM | agamotto | you are, that should have been
|
| 07:49:39 PM | GoodGuy | Newegg had them for $18 now and then
|
| 07:49:41 PM | T0B33 | Skynet is taking over your cams :O
|
| 07:50:03 PM | GoodGuy | Warren Michigan
|
| 07:50:07 PM | pyrosrock | 79 thats good my com uses up to 250w
|
| 07:50:30 PM | ErikaL | wow , what type of computer
|
| 07:50:54 PM | GoodGuy | PC can go off on Christmas :-)
|
| 07:51:11 PM | ErikaL | same in my house
|
| 07:51:20 PM | pyrosrock | ErikaL a first gen i7 with a power hungary gpu
|
| 07:51:33 PM | _Jot_ | ErikaL, maybe you can tell everybody that when RobbieF says Hydro, for the rest of the world he means 'power' or 'electricity'
|
| 07:52:16 PM | GoodGuy | I saw a gadget called a B3 iirc
|
| 07:52:34 PM | T0B33 | Wow that looks really interesting Robbie!
|
| 07:52:39 PM | GoodGuy | I think that was the name.. saw in a Linux mag from the UK
|
| 07:52:42 PM | agamotto | I thought the whole smart meter thing was a way to set the ground work for home-charging your cars
|
| 07:53:20 PM | _Jot_ | 17... 19....
|
| 07:53:36 PM | _Jot_ | 20
|
| 07:53:46 PM | GoodGuy | http://www.excito.com/
|
| 07:53:49 PM | _Jot_ | 21
|
| 07:53:55 PM | GoodGuy | That is the B3 server
|
| 07:54:20 PM | Guest_4332 | hi robbie its will
|
| 07:54:57 PM | pyrosrock | let me guess around $15/y
|
| 07:54:58 PM | _Jot_ | wow, Robbie said my name, and it wasn't even to say my name
|
| 07:55:34 PM | GoodGuy | How long to pay off buying the new device?
|
| 07:55:49 PM | _Jot_ | That pc3 costs 400-500 dollars, so quite a lot
|
| 07:55:49 PM | maxwell6307 | what do they cost robbie?
|
| 07:55:55 PM | Michaeliowa | nice
|
| 07:55:57 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF my desktop running hard runs at 250w
|
| 07:56:01 PM | invinciblemutant | RobbieF: i think you have to add up to 20 at least for usb pheripherals
|
| 07:56:16 PM | GoodGuy | pogoplug
|
| 07:56:29 PM | _Jot_ | this model costs $475 excluding shipping, duty and VAT
|
| 07:56:36 PM | Yazid1965 | exactly GoodGuy :)
|
| 07:56:38 PM | invinciblemutant | RobbieF: and also not the machine is idle, what if it runs busily, the power will shoot up
|
| 07:56:47 PM | U-Al | No fans saves watts
|
| 07:57:12 PM | U-Al | would like to check temps
|
| 07:57:23 PM | invinciblemutant | a fan may take 1-2 watts i think
|
| 07:57:56 PM | invinciblemutant | RobbieF: when it becomes hot, power consumption will go out a bit too
|
| 07:58:28 PM | Yazid1965 | it would take 9 yrs to re-coup
|
| 07:58:48 PM | Andrew_ | Robbief the eSata port on it supports port multiplication then ?
|
| 07:58:52 PM | GoodGuy | That changes the equation Yazid1965
|
| 07:58:54 PM | agamotto | Interesting idea
|
| 07:59:22 PM | invinciblemutant | RobbieF: have you checked the power consumption of pogoplug?
|
| 07:59:23 PM | Yazid1965 | only for this use case
|
| 07:59:26 PM | AliceEU_ | guess it would be more of an option if you have problem of buying a new server or so i guess
|
| 07:59:38 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF that thing is reli expensive i got a power meter for $15
|
| 07:59:41 PM | GoodGuy | Harbor Freight used to carry them (Kill-a-wat)
|
| 07:59:45 PM | AliceEU_ | and you can compare the cost of this to the rest and add the power saving on the pro side?
|
| 08:00:08 PM | AliceEU_ | for plain substitution it may not be worth it prolly
|
| 08:00:19 PM | GoodGuy | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882715001

|
| 08:04:28 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF, - Did you catch the post where I said Newegg has Kill-A-Watt for $22?
|
| 08:04:44 PM | GoodGuy | Free shipping as well
|
| 08:05:55 PM | GoodGuy | http://www.p3international.com/products/p4460.html
|
| 08:06:11 PM | GoodGuy | That is the fancier Kill-A-Watt EZ
|
| 08:06:33 PM | GoodGuy | It calculates power savings
|
| 08:06:49 PM | invinciblemutant | i am look for one in the UK
|
| 08:06:53 PM | pyrosrock | GoodGuy i have to say that thing that RobbieF showed on air was massive and expensive
|
| 08:07:11 PM | GoodGuy | Still nice pyrosrock
|
| 08:07:16 PM | invinciblemutant | the cheapest i can find here is
|
| 08:07:18 PM | invinciblemutant | electricity monitor
|
| 08:07:22 PM | invinciblemutant | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecosaver-Energy-Meter-individual-appliances/dp/B00147F48Q/ref=pd_sim_diy_7
|
| 08:07:25 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant i know they will be avaliable i got one here in aus for $15
|
| 08:07:51 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: That is cheap in AUS
|
| 08:07:54 PM | GoodGuy | http://www.p3international.com/index.html
|
| 08:08:05 PM | GoodGuy | That is Kill-a-watt site
|
| 08:08:48 PM | GoodGuy | The EZ model calcs power savings in currency from what I can tell skim reading
|
| 08:09:09 PM | GoodGuy | They have a downloadable pdf manual
|
| 08:09:46 PM | T0B33 | Good night everyone :D Thanks ErikaL and RobbieF for a great show :D
|
| 08:10:24 PM | GoodGuy | Wonder if calcs only work in the US
|
| 08:10:46 PM | _Jot_ | those kill-a-wat use plugs that only the US/canada use, so yes
|
| 08:10:57 PM | pyrosrock | GoodGuy yeah u just insert how much u pay per KW/h if it is annything like what i have
|
| 08:11:26 PM | invinciblemutant | _Jot_: we are using the 13A 3 pin in the UK
|
| 08:11:53 PM | invinciblemutant | for 13A 3-pin plug, here you go:
|
| 08:11:59 PM | GoodGuy | I bought the UK power supply with my Raspberry Pi.. hope that was the right one
|
| 08:12:00 PM | _Jot_ | at least we in europe use plugs that don't fall out of the wall by themselfs
|
| 08:12:02 PM | invinciblemutant | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecosaver-Energy-Meter-individual-appliances/dp/B00147F48Q/ref=pd_sim_diy_7
|
| 08:12:14 PM | GoodGuy | They only listed two models.... UK or Euro
|
| 08:12:59 PM | invinciblemutant | a tenner is average everywhere in the UK
|
| 08:13:12 PM | _Jot_ | that one isn't very good because it only works when plugged in
|
| 08:13:15 PM | GoodGuy | Guess if I had a brain I would have opened the box and seen what it looks like
|
| 08:13:18 PM | pyrosrock | _Jot_ the plugs in aus dont come out without a good pull
|
| 08:13:23 PM | _Jot_ | I have one that also has batteries to remember the powerusage
|
| 08:14:05 PM | pyrosrock | _Jot_ yeah mine has batteries
|
| 08:16:01 PM | _Jot_ | if you do go buy those energy-meters, make sure to check with consumer-organisations too, many of the meters don't measure well
|
| 08:16:21 PM | pyrosrock | ^^^ yeah good point
|
| 08:16:55 PM | _Jot_ | I mean, I used one to measure RobbieF, and it says 'highly energetic' and we all know all he does is just sit there
|
| 08:17:42 PM | GoodGuy | Did anyone buy that AIOS HD Media Cente?
|
| 08:18:46 PM | GoodGuy | Probably going to have to wait a bit
|
| 08:18:47 PM | _Jot_ | I think it is based on the older realtek chipset, so I wouldn't, I haven't checked though
|
| 08:19:08 PM | _Jot_ | looked like a clone of the playon! hd
|
| 08:19:35 PM | GoodGuy | What is Playon HD?
|
| 08:19:42 PM | GoodGuy | I have Playon software
|
| 08:19:52 PM | _Jot_ | it's a device from AC Ryan, a Dutch company, I think
|
| 08:20:15 PM | _Jot_ | they aren't the only ones who make media-players like that, but it was the exact same shape etc
|
| 08:20:21 PM | GoodGuy | Hmm never heard of it
|
| 08:20:31 PM | RobbieF | I got an AIOS for myself. The price to performance ratio is EXCELLENT.
|
| 08:21:02 PM | GoodGuy | I liked what I saw on your show
|
| 08:21:05 PM | RobbieF | it has quirks that perhaps a $500 unit wouldn't have, but they're entirely bearable, and it is under $100 if you shop around. And the drive tray is nice.
|
| 08:21:21 PM | GoodGuy | The drive tray sold me
|
| 08:21:24 PM | RobbieF | What you saw on the show was live... so gave you a pretty good taste
|
| 08:21:32 PM | RobbieF | yes; I love being able to transfer files to it through SMB
|
| 08:22:13 PM | GoodGuy | WD sells a WD Live TV Hub with a builtin HD, but it is $200
|
| 08:22:32 PM | GoodGuy | and if the drive dies, too bad I am guessing
|
| 08:23:00 PM | GoodGuy | I have an older WD Live TV w/o Netflix
|
| 08:23:17 PM | GoodGuy | Has the network port
|
| 08:23:30 PM | pyrosrock | i dont have a TV so a media center is a little redundant :P
|
| 08:23:40 PM | GoodGuy | true pyrosrock
|
| 08:24:08 PM | GoodGuy | I watch mostly tech shows off Miro etc
|
| 08:24:33 PM | GoodGuy | Put them on a flash drive
|
| 08:24:52 PM | GoodGuy | Plus keep some stuff on a NAS old PC
|
| 08:25:32 PM | pyrosrock | i have a tendancy to get sick of tech shows because it just makes me sad that all this tech is avaliable else where and i wont ever get a chance to get it or if i do its a 6 month wait
|
| 08:25:54 PM | GoodGuy | I save the Miro shows, so I copy them to the flash drive as well as archive
|
| 08:25:54 PM | SovereignEntity | GoodGuy do you find a lot of Tech shows on Miro
|
| 08:26:25 PM | GoodGuy | Yes.. Revision 3 has several... Jupiter Brodcasting
|
| 08:26:47 PM | GoodGuy | Pretty much any Youtube feed can be used in Miro
|
| 08:27:19 PM | GoodGuy | PITA naming some of the output files, but I live with it
|
| 08:27:35 PM | RobbieF | Glad to be among the elite on your viewership list! :)
|
| 08:28:10 PM | GoodGuy | If I wasn't archiving them, no need to give them decent names
|
| 08:28:31 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, there is only one show I watch regularly anyway, so you're first, and last :)
|
| 08:28:40 PM | SovereignEntity | Cat5 is by far the best show I have found
|
| 08:28:41 PM | RobbieF | cheers _Jot_
|
| 08:28:57 PM | RobbieF | Aww, that means a lot; thanks SovereignEntity.
|
| 08:29:04 PM | GoodGuy | I like Tekzilla and Linux Action Show pretty well also
|
| 08:29:40 PM | SovereignEntity | Tekzilla you mean the i show
|
| 08:30:10 PM | GoodGuy | HAK5 is fairly good, but gets techy... been hurting for a bit, so I havent watched episodes lately
|
| 08:30:11 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, by the way, you forgot to say o the show 'and the winner of the fit-PC3 is... Jot' :)
|
| 08:30:50 PM | GoodGuy | Cat5 is interactive which the other shows arent
|
| 08:31:20 PM | GoodGuy | They talk to you, while Cat5 talks WITH you
|
| 08:31:22 PM | RobbieF | We certainly try.
|
| 08:31:40 PM | RobbieF | haha, Jot
|
| 08:32:38 PM | GoodGuy | Streamtransport is a Windows program that allows me to capture some video and watch it on the living room TV
|
| 08:33:33 PM | GoodGuy | a Roku is nice if you mainly prefer steaming video
|
| 08:33:42 PM | GoodGuy | streaming
|
| 08:34:32 PM | GoodGuy | WD Live seems better with local content... Roku better for streaming stuff imho
|
| 08:35:23 PM | GoodGuy | I bought a Roku 2 XS when they first came out... it had issues adding channels so I returned it
|
| 08:36:00 PM | GoodGuy | Waited several months and got one at Costco.. that one works fine
|
| 08:36:34 PM | GoodGuy | Maybe so many folks bought new models, it overloaded their servers
|
| 08:39:27 PM | RobbieF | GoodGuy we'll be looking at some of the "cable alternatives" soon as part of our series to save money
|
| 08:39:55 PM | RobbieF | any favorites ways of watching actual tv shows?
|
| 08:40:12 PM | GoodGuy | OTA antenna works great
|
| 08:40:22 PM | GoodGuy | Just not many channels
|
| 08:40:41 PM | GoodGuy | Boxee Box has a TV Tuner dongle
|
| 08:40:49 PM | pyrosrock | RobbieF i use our tv stations on-demand services as i dont have a TV
|
| 08:41:00 PM | pyrosrock | and there free
|
| 08:41:01 PM | RobbieF | each individual one pyrosrock?
|
| 08:41:05 PM | RobbieF | like, going to their site?
|
| 08:41:18 PM | pyrosrock | yeah basicaly
|
| 08:41:24 PM | invinciblemutant | i am thinking of buying a big monitor to replace my CRT tv
|
| 08:41:24 PM | GoodGuy | But I can't see much advantage over just switching to our outdoor antenna
|
| 08:41:34 PM | invinciblemutant | do you all think it is a good idea
|
| 08:41:37 PM | invinciblemutant | to save energy
|
| 08:41:39 PM | RobbieF | invinciblemutant just get an LED TV
|
| 08:41:42 PM | RobbieF | WAY cheaper
|
| 08:41:43 PM | GoodGuy | Have you ever seen the show call Cord Cutters RobbieF ?
|
| 08:41:44 PM | invinciblemutant | LED monitor
|
| 08:41:46 PM | RobbieF | and WAY better for tv
|
| 08:41:57 PM | RobbieF | no I haven't goodguy
|
| 08:42:18 PM | pyrosrock | yeah the LED backlit TV's are heaps cheaper on power
|
| 08:42:29 PM | invinciblemutant | use the monitor for TV and media server
|
| 08:42:39 PM | GoodGuy | They dont have new shows anywhere near as often as you, but it may be helpful for your planned episode
|
| 08:42:43 PM | invinciblemutant | 32' is very expensive now
|
| 08:42:53 PM | invinciblemutant | will go for probably 27'???
|
| 08:43:14 PM | pyrosrock | what are u calling expensive invinciblemutant?
|
| 08:43:48 PM | invinciblemutant | i mean LED LCD monitor, samsung 32" LED monitor
|
| 08:43:48 PM | GoodGuy | http://gigaom.com/video/topic/cord-cutters/
|
| 08:43:56 PM | invinciblemutant | £2000 here now
|
| 08:44:02 PM | GoodGuy | The sit is Gigaom
|
| 08:44:29 PM | GoodGuy | My actual feed is in Windows Miro and I am on Linux at the moment
|
| 08:44:54 PM | pyrosrock | wow!!! invinciblemutant my grandma just got a 44' for $1100ish
|
| 08:45:08 PM | invinciblemutant | TV or monitor
|

|
| 08:46:20 PM | GoodGuy | http://feeds.feedburner.com/CordCuttersPodcast
|
| 08:46:31 PM | GoodGuy | That is my RSS feed in Miro
|
| 08:46:49 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant and it was a LG LED smart tv with 3d and all the stupid bells and whistles
|
| 08:47:56 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: LG is korean, koreans are good at packaging though the technology is not cool
|
| 08:48:02 PM | invinciblemutant | except Samsung
|
| 08:49:06 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant we could have got another brand but we knew the LG would work with the tivo so thats what we got and i cant fault it
|
| 08:50:02 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: LG is your grandma technology, she will like the bell and whistles
|
| 08:50:18 PM | RobbieF | thanks GoodGuy will have a look
|
| 08:50:26 PM | invinciblemutant | pyrosrock: for quantity sake
|
| 08:51:31 PM | GoodGuy | http://gigaom.com/video/watch-out-aereo-skitter-tv-brings-live-tv-to-roku/
|
| 08:51:41 PM | GoodGuy | I just found that on GigaOM
|
| 08:51:56 PM | GoodGuy | http://gigaom.com/video/
|
| 08:52:01 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant no i have to say she dont even know the bells and whistles are even there
|
| 08:52:14 PM | pyrosrock | invinciblemutant a bit past that
|
| 08:52:37 PM | GoodGuy | Welcome RobbieF
|
| 08:53:04 PM | _Jot_ | I'd like to file a complaint, I didn't get any bells or whistles with category5
|
| 08:53:10 PM | _Jot_ | I won everything else though
|
| 08:53:59 PM | _Jot_ | okay Jot, no problem, I just vertical filed your complaint in the Jot complaint box
|
| 08:54:02 PM | pyrosrock | _Jot_ u saying that a interactive chat room isint a bell or a whistle?
|
| 08:54:21 PM | pyrosrock | :P
|
| 08:54:31 PM | _Jot_ | there certainly are no bells or whistles in my chatroom :)
|
| 08:55:18 PM | invinciblemutant | ring the bell and blow the whistle everyone !!!!
|
| 08:55:33 PM | _Jot_ | see! everybody else got a bell and whistle
|
| 08:56:30 PM | pyrosrock | http://goo.gl/HkfhY
|
| 08:57:08 PM | GoodGuy | Actually I could do that using mIRC invinciblemutant
|
| 08:57:38 PM | GoodGuy | The other person needed to have the sound file d/l'ed on their PC
|
| 08:57:54 PM | GoodGuy | Then you could remotely play it
|
| 08:58:11 PM | GoodGuy | Used to do that years ago
|
| 08:58:28 PM | GoodGuy | but the novelty quickly wore off
|
| 08:58:44 PM | _Jot_ | play 'beep.wav'
|
| 08:58:56 PM | GoodGuy | many users had scripts to auto d/l played files
|
| 08:59:29 PM | GoodGuy | I had a script called txplay that had extra bells and whistles
|
| 09:00:18 PM | GoodGuy | Fancy color changing of messages and tons of other eye and ear candy
|
| 09:01:00 PM | _Jot_ | later came the malware and virusses through mirc too :)
|
| 09:01:09 PM | GoodGuy | Yes lol
|
| 09:01:54 PM | GoodGuy | Has to be a litle rain to make us appreciate the sunshine
|
| 09:03:42 PM | _Jot_ | here we had the coldest summer day since 1975 :) it was just as cold as first christmas day here (meterological summer)
|
| 09:03:58 PM | invinciblemutant | ok guys
