|
| 06:58:07 PM | RobbieF | so literal
|
| 06:58:20 PM | RobbieF | next time I'll be more precise ... 2 minutes and 13 seconds
|
| 06:58:26 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Close enough for Government Work!
|
| 06:58:33 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
| 06:59:02 PM | EricKidd | Lots of time... relax!!! :)
|
| 06:59:06 PM | _Jot_ | well, RobbieF did go through all that explanation about how the audio and video should sync up, and that is why they use a clapper so it is easier to sync it, including the scene-numbers etc
|
| 06:59:32 PM | _Jot_ | 30 seconds
|
| 06:59:51 PM | Tobi1 | Thanks for coming in again Erickidd :)

|
| 07:01:17 PM | Dennis_Kelley | that mic looks like a crumb on EricKidd beard!

|

|

|
| 07:01:58 PM | Tobi1 | Happy Birthday Christa
|
| 07:02:08 PM | Garbee | Security != Good when governments get access to the backend Eric!
|
| 07:02:18 PM | agamotto | Hallo, all
|
| 07:02:19 PM | _Jot_ | hello agamotto
|
| 07:02:44 PM | _Jot_ | I'll go buy the pizzas tomorrow, so show up at my home afterwards if you want some
|
| 07:03:09 PM | Dennis_Kelley | how long of a flight is it to your house _Jot_?
|
| 07:03:16 PM | Dennis_Kelley | from Michigan
|
| 07:03:31 PM | _Jot_ | Dennis_Kelley, you should be able to make it to my house in about 24 hours
|
| 07:03:34 PM | agamotto | That depends on whether or not the flight crew flips out...
|
| 07:03:44 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Just in time for sinner
|
| 07:03:48 PM | Dennis_Kelley | dinner

|
| 07:04:27 PM | Dennis_Kelley | _Jot_ is not that bad!
|
| 07:04:48 PM | Guest_6392 | still more fun
|
| 07:04:55 PM | Dennis_Kelley | true that!
|
| 07:05:02 PM | EricKidd | Give sinner my number ;)
|
| 07:05:16 PM | _Jot_ | Dennis_Kelley, the flighttime is a lot less, but you'd need a train or car and then travelling the entire country takes hours too, and there's lots of waiting time etc
|
| 07:05:19 PM | ajamison5579 | Robbief EricKidd http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/birthday.asp information about the copyright of that said song
|
| 07:06:17 PM | agamotto | I am just happy that walking outside no longer makes me think I am in the Punjab during the summer.

|
| 07:08:15 PM | Guest_6392 | We hit 39C and humid in Michigan last week
|
| 07:08:46 PM | _Jot_ | here it has been about 25c (and humid) but that was too much for me too cause it was 30c inside
|

|
| 07:09:20 PM | agamotto | ajamison5579, yes, but only in certain countries
|
| 07:09:26 PM | Dennis_Kelley | RobbieF - trying to speak another language with a Canadian accent!

|
| 07:10:05 PM | Tobi1 | I will have to send you all a postcard and put welsh words in it :)
|
| 07:10:11 PM | agamotto | If she can sign, Italian would not be hard for he :)
|
| 07:10:24 PM | agamotto | Aberstythwyth?
|
| 07:10:24 PM | tic-toc | I know how to say your number 1
|
| 07:10:47 PM | _Jot_ | signing uses different signs in every country, so it could be hard
|
| 07:11:25 PM | _Jot_ | oh no! my category5 broke Or is on a break or something.
|
| 07:11:46 PM | agamotto | _Jot_, True, but anyone who can sign will pick up the non-verbal cues of Italian very fast
|
| 07:11:56 PM | OldGuyJim | Hello folks.
|
| 07:11:59 PM | Scorpio55 | Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
|
| 07:12:01 PM | _Jot_ | hi OldGuyJim
|
| 07:12:23 PM | Tobi1 | Scorpio55 are you Welsh? :O
|
| 07:12:38 PM | Scorpio55 | English
|
| 07:12:39 PM | _Jot_ | I saw him copy+paste so I doubt it
|
| 07:12:57 PM | OldGuyJim | Late getting home from work.
|
| 07:13:15 PM | Tobi1 | Ah awesome :) :D
|
| 07:13:15 PM | ajamison5579 | I miss the classic Gnome interface :(
|
| 07:13:19 PM | agamotto | Scorpio55, Properly gob-smacked, that is...
|
| 07:13:25 PM | ajamison5579 | RIP GNOME 2.x.x
|
| 07:13:39 PM | Tobi1 | MATE is really awesome :)
|
| 07:14:24 PM | _Jot_ | oh wow! now I can break into Robbie's unraid (not really since 10.0.0.5 is a local IP)
|
| 07:14:32 PM | OldGuyJim | For serious productive work, the classic desktop is superior to Unity!
|
| 07:14:35 PM | GoodGuy | You haven't met mine Tobi1 :-) (just Kidding)
|
| 07:14:49 PM | ajamison5579 | How doth though conecteth to thy Pogoplug from a Linux system
|
| 07:14:54 PM | agamotto | I am thinking that when I update my main box, I will probably be moving to Linux Mint
|
| 07:15:15 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, you'd have to install the pogoplug software and follow instructions
|
| 07:15:35 PM | bull422 | Hey U-Al
|
| 07:15:40 PM | ajamison5579 | Linux software from a major company? Is this an alternate universe?
|
| 07:15:41 PM | OldGuyJim | I moved to Linuxmint Maya-Cinnamon after serious problems with kdenlive vs Openshot.
|
| 07:15:46 PM | agamotto | ajamison5579, Dust thou mean 'How mayest one connecteth a Pogoplug to thine Linux system?'
|
| 07:15:55 PM | GoodGuy | I used software called Pogo Drive.. I think the newer PogoPlug software calls it something different
|
| 07:16:23 PM | agamotto | OldGuyJim, Maya-Cinnamon?
|
| 07:16:25 PM | ajamison5579 | agamotto thou are correct
|
| 07:16:36 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, you mean you're from an alternate universe and have never heard of Microsoft Linux?
|
| 07:16:48 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:17:18 PM | ajamison5579 | _jot_ that would make me fall down laughing if MS abandon the Windows kernel and just heavily modified a Unix kernel like Apple
|
| 07:17:18 PM | agamotto | Not for something like Puppy Linux
|
| 07:17:29 PM | Tobi1 | I much rather openbox or Xmonad to Gnome and many others since they are really light and ideal for a net book
|
| 07:17:42 PM | agamotto | Bodhi might run in that system as well
|
| 07:17:58 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, you mean Xenix?
|
| 07:18:02 PM | agamotto | DSL distro would be a natural
|
| 07:18:03 PM | Tobi1 | Bodhi is fantastic!
|
| 07:18:12 PM | OldGuyJim | Yeah..that's the way that call their upgrades...Maya is version 13 and Cinnamon desktop rather than mate. I tested both and preferred Cinnamon.
|
| 07:18:25 PM | agamotto | Tobi1, i might move to it instead of Ubuntu 12.04
|
| 07:18:44 PM | agamotto | OldGuyJim, Thanks for clarifying
|
| 07:18:49 PM | ajamison5579 | Cinnamon yum now I want to make that dang cinnamon almond recipie i found curse you for making me hungry
|
| 07:19:12 PM | agamotto | I am still trying to figure out how nVidia's numbering scheme is supposed to work with their video cards
|
| 07:19:16 PM | Tobi1 | I had issues with it because E17 is well.... not that stable but it was really fast and looked nice :)
|
| 07:19:22 PM | Tobi1 | Reminded me of KDE in a way
|
| 07:19:25 PM | OldGuyJim | Sorry about the cause of the curse...I just ate a quick dinner before signing on.
|
| 07:19:33 PM | GoodGuy | I did also.. 32 gb USB 3.0 flash drive for around $25
|
| 07:20:07 PM | ajamison5579 | Agamotto they start by taking a dart and tossing it at the periodic table of elements then take the atomic weight of what the dart hit multiply it by 5 and devide by pi and then round to the nearest whole number
|
| 07:20:10 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:20:33 PM | bull422 | Peppermint 3 OS will be out on the 23rd. It fits my needs on my old laptop. I hope it works great
|
| 07:20:38 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, not for writing
|
| 07:20:39 PM | Garbee | EricKidd, No, RAM is faster.
|
| 07:21:17 PM | Tobi1 | 3 of my computers are running without HDs
|
| 07:21:18 PM | Garbee | DDR3 is still faster than SATA 3 tmk.
|
| 07:21:24 PM | GoodGuy | no seek time on RAM
|
| 07:21:49 PM | GoodGuy | at least no time for head movement
|
| 07:22:04 PM | _Jot_ | SSDs don't have heads to move :)
|
| 07:22:30 PM | GoodGuy | I know... seek time is usually head movement time
|
| 07:22:35 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd's pizza and beer isn't cheap!
|
| 07:22:55 PM | ajamison5579 | Robbief just bring some of your home made wine
|
| 07:23:08 PM | Guest_6392 | Molsen or Labatt?
|
| 07:23:33 PM | Dennis_Kelley | atleast good pizza and beer is not cheap. you can get some cheap beer and pizza here in Michigan
|
| 07:24:19 PM | ajamison5579 | Did you guys hear about the Pizza Vending Machine that was created in Italy that makes Pizza from scratch? Its coming to the USA on a trial run
|
| 07:24:19 PM | Guest_6392 | Dennis_Kelly where in Michigan?
|
| 07:24:23 PM | ajamison5579 | sounds interesting
|
| 07:24:44 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, RobbieF can't do magic, cause the magichat keeps sliding from his head because of the bald-thing
|
| 07:24:44 PM | Dennis_Kelley | RobbieF - Can you put the address in the chat room?
|
| 07:24:45 PM | agamotto | I would rather have a machine that printed books on demand :0
|
| 07:25:03 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Guest_6392 - Grand Blanc
|
| 07:25:12 PM | agamotto | Daemon... Ferengi captains?
|
| 07:25:34 PM | _Jot_ | that's Damon, not Daemon
|
| 07:25:34 PM | Guest_6392 | Dennis_Kelly I'm in Westland
|
| 07:25:50 PM | agamotto | ahh
|
| 07:25:56 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Guest_6392 - Cool!
|
| 07:26:01 PM | _Jot_ | actually, Daimon, sorry :)
|

|
| 07:26:17 PM | Dennis_Kelley | TY

| 07:26:40 PM | RobbieF | np
|
| 07:26:57 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Funny EricKidd!
|
| 07:27:09 PM | Scorpio55 | HDMI version 1.3
|
| 07:28:15 PM | ajamison5579 | My wife has issues with her Audio from the computer via HDMI it tends to stop playing sound and make a hissing noise
|
| 07:28:26 PM | Scorpio55 | HDMI cable version 1.3 has audio capability
|
| 07:28:41 PM | ajamison5579 | can not tell if its the HDMI cable monitor speakers or the video card output
|
| 07:29:00 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, I'd try to find another device that has HDMI and try the same cable and speakers and see if that works correctly
|
| 07:29:04 PM | agamotto | My HD telly has troubles with HDMI audio at times... has something to do with HDCP
|
| 07:29:38 PM | ajamison5579 | _jot_ can a bad HDMI cable cause sound issues without interupting video?
|
| 07:29:57 PM | agamotto | RobbieF HDMI Output should have it's own entry
|
| 07:30:07 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579 yes, and also it can be that the HDMI devices are not compatible with each other, even though they should be
|
| 07:31:10 PM | _Jot_ | ajamison5579, if the sound is okay with other cables etc, then most likely it isn't the computer, it could of course be a driver issue as well, but then it usually wouldn't work at all
|
| 07:31:27 PM | ajamison5579 | true
|
| 07:32:06 PM | agamotto | Or if the device is pre- v 1.3
|
| 07:32:08 PM | Guest_6392 | Cheap HDMI cables can be finecki
|
| 07:32:30 PM | agamotto | 10ft / 3m
|
| 07:32:55 PM | GoodGuy | HDMI Repeater can help iirc
|
| 07:33:04 PM | _Jot_ | agamotto, that can be too long for bad cable, I have a cheap 1m cable (3ft) and that one has issues already
|
| 07:33:04 PM | OldGuyJim | The signal attenuates badly with a long cable without a booster.
|
| 07:34:00 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 07:34:06 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, he does it on purpose with the names
|
| 07:34:34 PM | GoodGuy | sounds like an NFL football snap count
|
| 07:34:35 PM | Michaeliowa | hi all
|
| 07:34:43 PM | agamotto | kvetch kvetch kvetch
|
| 07:35:02 PM | GoodGuy | lol
|
| 07:35:06 PM | _Jot_ | hi Michaeliowa
|
| 07:35:28 PM | GoodGuy | JoliOS - It makes you Jolly it is so easy lol
|
| 07:35:47 PM | Tobi1 | I love joli os
|
| 07:35:54 PM | Michaeliowa | _Jot_: having a good day?
|
| 07:36:03 PM | _Jot_ | I'm doing okay michaeliowa, how are you?
|
| 07:36:08 PM | GoodGuy | Which girl is the prettiest.... depends on the eye of the person
|
| 07:36:24 PM | agamotto | Blake Shelton is ok
|
| 07:36:27 PM | tic-toc | country music is best played on laptops
|
| 07:36:29 PM | OldGuyJim | Linuxmint 13 will have a problem with laptop wireless that Linuxmint 9 does not. I was testing it today with a bit of sadness.
|
| 07:36:30 PM | bull422 | JoliOS rocks, but lags on my old laptop
|
| 07:36:33 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, Bekah Ferguson is prettiest of course
|
| 07:36:34 PM | GoodGuy | yes
|
| 07:36:53 PM | Garbee | Trust me... Gentoo.
|
| 07:36:56 PM | Garbee | ;)
|
| 07:37:01 PM | tic-toc | Zorin
|
| 07:37:05 PM | EricKidd | You, _Jot_, are a suck-up!
|
| 07:37:07 PM | GoodGuy | Best Linux = one that works with your hardware
|
| 07:37:17 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, why do you think i always win?
|
| 07:37:20 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Good one GoodGuy!
|
| 07:37:32 PM | GoodGuy | 'thank you
|
| 07:37:44 PM | Tobi1 | Thing i dont like about joli is that it claims to be light and yes it is. But underneath the HTML interface its just gnome which takes allot of resources out of an old machine
|
| 07:37:45 PM | OldGuyJim | GoodGuy..I like that...it is soooo true.
|
| 07:37:48 PM | EricKidd | ...and that's why i'm only allowed in the basement
|
| 07:37:49 PM | GoodGuy | Maybe one of the Puppy Linuxes
|
| 07:38:01 PM | bull422 | I agree goodguy
|
| 07:38:02 PM | Garbee | Zorin Ultimate really just has some extra packages and configs by default, not really worth paying for unless you need their support.
|
| 07:38:10 PM | GoodGuy | Very helpful community.. lightweight
|
| 07:38:27 PM | tic-toc | Zorin has great repositories built in it.
|
| 07:38:28 PM | Tobi1 | Zorin OS 6 is fantastic need to review it and throw it on your cat5 forum
|
| 07:38:48 PM | bull422 | Zorin lite is based on Lubuntu
|
| 07:38:51 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd, try entering through the frontdoor instead of sneaking in through the basement-window, maybe you can loiter and make your way to the living room for once
|
| 07:39:05 PM | GoodGuy | I thought I read it ran a little slow in Virtualbox.. might have been just that reviewer
|
| 07:39:05 PM | agamotto | hehehe
|
| 07:39:29 PM | Dennis_Kelley | _Jot_ - they keep the riff raff in the basemnet!
|
| 07:39:48 PM | _Jot_ | EricKidd does play some nice riffs so I guess that's why he is in the basement
|
| 07:40:02 PM | Dennis_Kelley | _Jot_ - True that!
|
| 07:40:22 PM | agamotto | No, everything is in the basement due to cooling costs!
|
| 07:40:24 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Thats how RobbieF rolls!
|
| 07:40:25 PM | Scorpio55 | Look changer now works on the fly in Zorin 6 core
|
| 07:40:37 PM | GoodGuy | It is missing the Bllue Screens of Death! They need to get Zorin working on that :-)
|
| 07:40:46 PM | Michaeliowa | RobbieF on the hdmi cable with audio out -- will need to unplug the other cable..
|
| 07:40:49 PM | Tobi1 | That is something i really love about Zorin.
|
| 07:40:53 PM | Tobi1 | The look changer
|
| 07:41:22 PM | Guruofthematrix | me too
|
| 07:41:33 PM | Guruofthematrix | no unity
|
| 07:41:53 PM | GoodGuy | Ultimate Edition has everything but the kitchen sink
|
| 07:42:00 PM | Tobi1 | Whats wrong with Unity? :O (apart from the fact it takes allot out of your PC lol)
|
| 07:42:13 PM | _Jot_ | Tobi1, it takes a lot out of your PC
|
| 07:42:33 PM | GoodGuy | I havent tried the newest one... old theme was dark and I found it a little depressing
|
| 07:42:45 PM | tic-toc | Unity yuk....
|
| 07:42:55 PM | Tobi1 | Yeah it is a resource hog!
|
| 07:42:58 PM | Guruofthematrix | right
|
| 07:43:02 PM | GoodGuy | 12.04 Unity is getting good ratings
|
| 07:43:12 PM | Guruofthematrix | not by users
|
| 07:43:25 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I still to not like Unity with multi Monitors
|
| 07:43:28 PM | GoodGuy | Some users.. The LAS guys liked it iirc
|
| 07:43:47 PM | Scorpio55 | Unity works fine for me across all my PC.s
|
| 07:43:50 PM | GoodGuy | Saw a few other reviews that rated it good
|
| 07:44:24 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, make him talk faster so you have enough time for the item-thing
|
| 07:44:36 PM | GoodGuy | I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my wifes PC,,, too slow.. she loves an older Ubuntu.. Lucid or Maverick
|
| 07:44:40 PM | Tobi1 | I always go for the ubuntu minimum install CD and build it up to be light as possible. Even if i had a powerful PC.
|
| 07:44:50 PM | Guruofthematrix | fresh
|
| 07:44:53 PM | Guruofthematrix | all yours
|
| 07:45:15 PM | Garbee | Unity in 12.04 is fine.
|
| 07:45:23 PM | GoodGuy | I had to use the alternate install CD.. normal one wont work on her PC
|
| 07:45:24 PM | agamotto | How, polarization?
|
| 07:45:35 PM | GoodGuy | install doesnt work
|
| 07:45:51 PM | GoodGuy | Bulbs must be a little costly
|
| 07:46:03 PM | agamotto | How well does it work in fog?
|
| 07:46:16 PM | Garbee | agamotto, Probably roughly the same.
|
| 07:46:22 PM | Tobi1 | Yeah its fine Garbee but still a resource hog but it is allot faster than the unity in 11.10. They plan on improving unity further in Ubuntu 12.10
|
| 07:46:46 PM | Tobi1 | Think they are dropping Unity 2D
|
| 07:46:53 PM | Tobi1 | and Dropping Compiz
|
| 07:47:03 PM | Garbee | Tobi1, They are dropping 2d, they can't drop Compiz.
|
| 07:47:08 PM | Garbee | Unity is a compiz plugin.
|
| 07:47:21 PM | Garbee | They would need to re-engineer the system to remove Compiz (which would be a good thing.)
|
| 07:47:25 PM | GoodGuy | Military applications.. Help the drones clean up what is less
|
| 07:47:27 PM | tic-toc | I boycott all unity distro's . refuse to use !!!
|
| 07:47:45 PM | GoodGuy | left
|
| 07:47:51 PM | _Jot_ | new story for the newsroom: RobbieF and EricKidd now have updated abiltiies: They can at least attempt to think! We'll update you when they actually learned to think, in a few years.
|
| 07:47:57 PM | Tobi1 | Yeah true Garbee. Cant wait for Ubuntu 12.10 i saw a review of the alpha but no change yet
|
| 07:48:04 PM | Tobi1 | apart from the kernal
|
| 07:49:28 PM | GoodGuy | I saw a retro gamers mag
|
| 07:50:17 PM | Dennis_Kelley | that is so cheesy!

| 07:50:41 PM | agamotto | Wow, more waste of time apps for 'smart' devices...
|
| 07:50:44 PM | Dennis_Kelley | it figures that it is Pink!
|
| 07:51:01 PM | GoodGuy | I had a real trimline phone hooked up to an ObiHai 110
|
| 07:51:16 PM | GoodGuy | not a rotary dial, pulse dialing
|
| 07:51:47 PM | tic-toc | Timmy's
|
| 07:52:27 PM | agamotto | "No, this is not a Chinese take-away. This a private, slim-line Princess telephone registered to a home of good character!"
|
| 07:52:31 PM | tic-toc | 1 ringy dingy
|
| 07:53:09 PM | agamotto | "Oh look,. there goes half of NewJersey!" snicker
|
| 07:53:35 PM | GoodGuy | Is the build quality like an old one?
|
| 07:54:07 PM | agamotto | A true retro-set would have a holder for the mobile on the inside of the handle
|
| 07:54:18 PM | Garbee | Tobi1, There are tons of changes in the Alpha. Unity doesn't get updated until a while after releases though.
|
| 07:54:31 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Bluebox, or Blackbox?
|
| 07:54:45 PM | GoodGuy | a grey box iirc
|
| 07:54:51 PM | Dennis_Kelley | good one robbieF - walking around on the street with your IPhone in your pocket and that phone to your ear!
|
| 07:54:53 PM | GoodGuy | not very large
|
| 07:55:21 PM | GoodGuy | Not sure why I bought it... just seemed cool and it was super cheap
|
| 07:55:43 PM | Dennis_Kelley | two nerds with their gadgets!
|
| 07:55:43 PM | agamotto | I want a working sonic screwdriver.... heck, I would settle for a sonic lipstick!
|
| 07:56:26 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I would love to walk around with that!
|
| 07:56:28 PM | agamotto | It is a step up from the shoe phone
|
| 07:56:31 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, you're forgetting that EricKidd is old, so that pose is normal for him from the old days
|
| 07:56:35 PM | Michaeliowa | lol
|
| 07:57:07 PM | Dennis_Kelley | too Funny!
|
| 07:57:12 PM | GoodGuy | We have Panasonic Link2Cell cordless phones... It works with iPhones and some other smart phones... not my el cheapo
|
| 07:57:37 PM | GoodGuy | Lets you use the cordless phones to use the cell etc
|
| 07:57:55 PM | agamotto | interesting idea
|
| 07:57:58 PM | GoodGuy | Hooked to our Ooma
|
| 07:59:01 PM | GoodGuy | Ooma Premiere service also has apps for iPhone and Android.... Since I dont have either, dont use it
|
| 07:59:49 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF, - EricKidd ... I believe Ooma is now available in Canada... they ported our number in the USA and thats is VOIP
|
| 07:59:52 PM | agamotto | We change ours somewhat frequently, just to get rid of telemarketers and 'charities.'
|
| 08:00:11 PM | ajamison5579 | Podcast Impossible
|
| 08:00:13 PM | ajamison5579 | lol
|
| 08:00:18 PM | GoodGuy | Ooma has Blacklists to stop telemarketers etc
|
| 08:00:36 PM | Tobi1 | EricKidd have you learned L33T yet? haha
|
| 08:00:37 PM | GoodGuy | Both a Community Blacklist and a Personal One
|
| 08:00:38 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Wow... now that would be nice
|
| 08:00:42 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, I saw you build a wall in minutes so you can build a studio easily, don't despair!
|
| 08:00:58 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Info on their website?
|
| 08:01:14 PM | GoodGuy | I saw a post about Ooma in Canada.. in their blog iirc
|
| 08:01:22 PM | GoodGuy | Yes agamotto
|
| 08:01:36 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, That just might be enough to get my parents to switch
|
| 08:01:50 PM | Tobi1 | See ya :) Good show as always :) Time flies!
|
| 08:02:02 PM | GoodGuy | Not sure if the porting would work in Canada... they have good customer service
|
| 08:02:16 PM | bull422 | Good show good night
|
| 08:03:16 PM | GoodGuy | Parents didnt have the internet, so it wasnt much help
|
| 08:03:30 PM | agamotto | Well, phthththt
|
| 08:03:31 PM | _Jot_ | ah, then me typing they do need internet but even with that it is often cheaper didn't help
|
| 08:03:43 PM | ajamison5579 | wait what is internet
|
| 08:04:00 PM | GoodGuy | I thought the ObiHair was interesting.. if both ends buy one, Obi to Obi calls are free
|
| 08:04:00 PM | Michaeliowa | bye all have good night!!
|
| 08:04:04 PM | _Jot_ | it's what those holes are called in a net, you know, inter the net
|
| 08:04:09 PM | GoodGuy | yes Internet
|
| 08:05:43 PM | GoodGuy | Obihair devices used Google Voice as a free provider, but also allowed other services
|
| 08:05:53 PM | GoodGuy | ObiHai
|
| 08:06:12 PM | GoodGuy | no fees at all which I thought was nice
|
| 08:06:27 PM | _Jot_ | cheap or free is always good
|
| 08:06:33 PM | GoodGuy | Porting was kind of a pain iirc
|
| 08:06:43 PM | tic-toc | http://www.obitalk.com/obinet/
|
| 08:06:44 PM | agamotto | No taxes and such?
|
| 08:07:06 PM | GoodGuy | It took port existing number to a mobile phone and that to the OBi iirc
|
| 08:07:20 PM | GoodGuy | No taxes I believe
|
| 08:07:34 PM | agamotto | interesting
|
| 08:07:49 PM | GoodGuy | I had it working using Google Voice... no billing info
|
| 08:07:56 PM | GoodGuy | cheap also
|
| 08:08:10 PM | GoodGuy | I think I paid $43 at the time
|
| 08:08:22 PM | agamotto | I will have to look into those
|
| 08:08:29 PM | GoodGuy | Now they have a newer one called Obi202
|
| 08:08:45 PM | GoodGuy | Two lines that can use 4 providers
|
| 08:08:54 PM | agamotto | I would love to stop all of the political calls and survey calls we get
|
| 08:09:05 PM | GoodGuy | have to pay for a cheap 911 provider
|
| 08:09:32 PM | GoodGuy | Take a look at the Ooma.. they have a feature called Blacklist
|
| 08:10:02 PM | GoodGuy | They let you activate a Community Blacklist.. I assume it is crowd sourced
|
| 08:10:03 PM | agamotto | Yes, that could be a way to convince my parents to cut the cord
|
| 08:10:12 PM | GoodGuy | and a Personal Blacklist as well
|
| 08:10:23 PM | _Jot_ | agamotto, you are still on the umbilical cord? that's a long time
|
| 08:10:36 PM | GoodGuy | you can go thru a call log and just click to add to the Blacklisdt
|
| 08:10:45 PM | agamotto | heheheehe
|
| 08:11:02 PM | GoodGuy | Even neater is you can control what to do with blacklisted numbers
|
| 08:11:23 PM | GoodGuy | Go to Voicemail, Pretend phone is disconnected
|
| 08:11:32 PM | GoodGuy | another action I cant recall
|
| 08:11:44 PM | agamotto | Hmmm, could I forward the calls to say... a local person I didn't like?
|
| 08:13:28 PM | _Jot_ | I'm not local agamotto, so it wouldn't work
|
| 08:13:53 PM | agamotto | i was thinking of a certain local politician that I can't stand...
|
| 08:13:59 PM | GoodGuy | I dont think so lol
|
| 08:14:05 PM | _Jot_ | oh, I didn't know RobbieF was into politics now
|
| 08:14:39 PM | GoodGuy | Last time I looked Ooma was $149 USA at Costco.. $179 Best Buys
|
| 08:15:10 PM | GoodGuy | To get the advanced features, you need Premiere service which is $9.95 a month
|
| 08:15:37 PM | GoodGuy | WE paid by the year... It gave you porting a number free
|
| 08:15:47 PM | GoodGuy | Thats was a $40 value
|
| 08:16:04 PM | agamotto | Well... I must away to make something for dinner. I think I will do a simple salad tonight
|
| 08:16:15 PM | _Jot_ | sounds nice agamotto
|
| 08:16:21 PM | GoodGuy | Plus they only charged $99 instead of $119 so saved $20 more
|
| 08:16:22 PM | agamotto | Yep
|
| 08:16:34 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, I will check into it
|
| 08:16:51 PM | GoodGuy | Also got lucky and received a $50 rebate for buying in May
|
| 08:17:14 PM | GoodGuy | We paid $179 for our Ooma, so it was $30 more than now
|
| 08:17:28 PM | GoodGuy | Still $20 ahead considering the rebate
|
| 08:17:52 PM | _Jot_ | plus you had the advantage of using it and not paying other costs
|
| 08:17:54 PM | GoodGuy | I am very happy with their customer service so far
|
| 08:18:17 PM | GoodGuy | Yes I figured we will pay it off in about 1 1/2 months
|
| 08:18:35 PM | GoodGuy | Wife said she was paying almost $90 a month
|
| 08:18:47 PM | GoodGuy | Didnt really make many calls
|
| 08:19:07 PM | GoodGuy | I used to call a Canadian friend fairly often
|
| 08:19:11 PM | _Jot_ | phoneservice can be expensive
|
| 08:19:34 PM | GoodGuy | The bill is $3.95 a month for taxes
|
| 08:19:55 PM | GoodGuy | Thats it if we didnt want the Premiere Service... $10 more with
|
| 08:20:25 PM | GoodGuy | Premiere also lest you have two lines IF you buy an Ooma Telp handset
|
| 08:20:52 PM | GoodGuy | That is their own cordless type handset with extra bells and whistles
|
| 08:20:55 PM | Garbee | Anyone have any preferred jquery form validators?
|
| 08:21:05 PM | _Jot_ | my internet came with voip phoneservice too, but it has the regular phone-connection so no special devices etc
|
| 08:21:27 PM | GoodGuy | They are making a new model, so it wont be out until fall I believe
|
| 08:21:39 PM | Tobi1 | hey guys i am off now good night :)
|
| 08:21:45 PM | GoodGuy | I really want the two line feature
|
| 08:22:29 PM | GoodGuy | also has their own Voicemail system
|
| 08:22:34 PM | _Jot_ | I was going to say you could hook a fax to the 2nd line, but nobody uses those anymore I think :)
|
| 08:22:56 PM | GoodGuy | I saw some info on using a fax with Ooma
|
| 08:23:20 PM | _Jot_ | most voip-services don't support faxes and such becuase of the compression they use
|
| 08:23:27 PM | GoodGuy | I didn't care at the time, so I didnt get into details
|
| 08:23:41 PM | GoodGuy | I am pretty sure Ooma does
|
| 08:24:26 PM | GoodGuy | http://www.ooma.com/app/support/fax
|
| 08:24:55 PM | _Jot_ | sounds good :)
|
| 08:25:39 PM | GoodGuy | They had some forum posts on how to use your regular phone wiring with the Ooma after no dialtone
|
| 08:25:59 PM | GoodGuy | I saved some docs from Vonage on the same subject
|
| 08:26:25 PM | _Jot_ | always good to have information about things
|
| 08:26:34 PM | GoodGuy | Basically it was disconnect outside wires into the home and label it, so others would know
|
| 08:27:02 PM | GoodGuy | Then plug into the rj-11 outlet and thats was it irc
|
| 08:27:05 PM | GoodGuy | iirc
|
| 08:27:38 PM | GoodGuy | Caller ID by Number only was free
|
| 08:27:58 PM | GoodGuy | Caller ID by Name also was included in the Premiere Service
|
| 08:28:03 PM | _Jot_ | number ID is important these days :)
|
| 08:28:09 PM | GoodGuy | I know
|
| 08:28:24 PM | _Jot_ | how else are you going to know you have to pick it up and hang up immediatly when RobbieF calls
|
| 08:28:47 PM | GoodGuy | They know many folks will want the extras in the Premiere Service and figure they already saved a good amt
|
| 08:28:51 PM | GoodGuy | lol
|
| 08:29:39 PM | _Jot_ | I stil want to put a modem in a computer again sometime, just so it can be used as a number-ID and answering-machine etc
|
| 08:29:46 PM | GoodGuy | With the free number porting and the discount for prepaying a year, we figured try it and reconsider when the next year is due
|
| 08:29:59 PM | GoodGuy | Most likely we will keep it
|
| 08:30:11 PM | _Jot_ | sounds like you get good and cheap service, so sounds great
|
| 08:30:44 PM | GoodGuy | The initial equipment costs aren't as cheap as the MagicJack Plus
|
| 08:31:12 PM | _Jot_ | it can always be a big deal to calculate the costs of things
|
| 08:31:26 PM | _Jot_ | of course I'm going to win one so it would be cheaper fr me :)
|
| 08:32:02 PM | GoodGuy | I wasn't feeling well when it arrived, so I put it in a corner and forgot about it
|
| 08:32:25 PM | _Jot_ | they gave those magicjacks away for free too, not sure if they still have those or not
|
| 08:32:25 PM | GoodGuy | lol free is great price
|
| 08:33:19 PM | GoodGuy | after I got my darling wife to agree to give the Ooma a try, it got me interested in phone stuff
|
| 08:33:38 PM | GoodGuy | so I dug out the Obihai and hooked that up
|
| 08:33:53 PM | Garbee | RobbieF, Chrome Dev tools have won me over finally. So much faster and easier to use than Firefox's to me.
|
| 08:34:09 PM | GoodGuy | setting up 911 requires a servce and a bit more complex setup
|
| 08:34:16 PM | Garbee | Firefox still has some neat stuff I will use, but for main dev (and possibly browsing now) Chrome(ium for Linux) is where I'm at.
|
| 08:34:34 PM | _Jot_ | 911 can be important, you never know when you need it
|
| 08:35:04 PM | _Jot_ | I don't know how it is set up there, but here you just need a working cellphone to be able to call, doesn't have to have a subscription or anything
|
| 08:35:27 PM | GoodGuy | WE have several health issues, so 911 is extra important to her
|
| 08:35:54 PM | _Jot_ | it's always important I think cause you never know when you need them
|
| 08:35:58 PM | GoodGuy | The OBihai has their own service you activate with
|
| 08:36:23 PM | _Jot_ | For example, RobbieF and EricKidd decide to do category5 on location from your home, all of a sudden. Then you're happy you can call 911
|
| 08:36:31 PM | GoodGuy | It can use two SIP providers.. One is Google Voice (free)
|
| 08:36:36 PM | GoodGuy | haha
|
| 08:37:22 PM | GoodGuy | They couldn't fit in our place.... too much garage sale goodies or junk depending on which person you ask lol
|
| 08:37:49 PM | _Jot_ | my phoneline costs me about 2 euros, so it wasn't worth it to not get it, and I also have a prepaid cellphone, so I can call when internet doesn't work
|
| 08:38:08 PM | GoodGuy | I thought I read a 911 service provider was $1.50 a month
|
| 08:38:22 PM | GoodGuy | WE have cellphones also
|
| 08:38:49 PM | GoodGuy | But the towers get overwhelmed like during that east coast blackout
|
| 08:39:09 PM | _Jot_ | yeah, service isn't always perfect here either :)
|
| 08:39:25 PM | GoodGuy | It was only a one time event, but still the thought scared her
|
| 08:40:00 PM | GoodGuy | The internet and cell service was both down
|
| 08:40:13 PM | GoodGuy | landline still worked the entire time
|
| 08:40:26 PM | _Jot_ | fortunatly even with such things 911 should always work cause the towers bump somebody in an emergency
|
| 08:40:46 PM | GoodGuy | I cant recall if we got a signal
|
| 08:41:04 PM | GoodGuy | It wasnt a problem because of that working landline
|
| 08:41:09 PM | GoodGuy | brbias
|
| 08:41:33 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, checking out your pimples?
|
| 08:45:17 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
| 08:45:44 PM | _Jot_ | that was a really high resolution picture :)
|
| 08:48:01 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
| 08:48:05 PM | RobbieF | gotta be
|
| 08:48:16 PM | _Jot_ | cause you got a fat head?
|
| 08:48:43 PM | RobbieF | thank you for including the question mark.
|
| 08:48:44 PM | _Jot_ | I don't think that by the way, you just implied it :)
|
| 08:48:45 PM | RobbieF | Means a lot
|
| 08:48:46 PM | RobbieF | ;)
|
| 08:58:12 PM | _Jot_ | don't worry RobbieF, you always look good, at least 80.000 screens didn't break while showing you, so that must count for something
|
| 08:59:12 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
