07:08:11 PMratts_ who makes it
07:08:21 PMT0B33 My 6 years old ipod died on me this week :(
07:08:23 PM_Jot_ hi ratts_
07:08:31 PMagamotto I do have to say that Sync is very good at navigating music folders on USB drives
07:08:49 PMratts_ Hi jot
07:09:08 PM__JimBobMedia__ My Birthday today !!!!
07:09:10 PMT0B33 Thought you were calling all of us Ratts for a second there _Jot_ haha
07:09:17 PMDrumstick I have Ford Sync...it rocks!
07:09:19 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you should probably show a stereo cassette since they don't make them anymore and some people never saw them
07:09:27 PMDrumstick Even if MS did make it....
07:09:35 PM_Jot_ T0b33, I'm not saying I'm not :P
07:09:39 PMagamotto Robbie needs a Crutchfield catalog...
07:09:46 PMGuest_4646 is this a tech help channel, or what exactly is this channel about?
07:10:02 PMT0B33 _Jot_ How very dare you! hehe
07:10:26 PM_Jot_ Guest_4646, it is about the community from the category5 show, which mostly means tech-stuff, yes
07:10:41 PMT0B33 Thats me with my ADHD when watching a presentation. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
07:10:49 PMagamotto Guest_4646, It is a show about tech, focusing on Linux.
07:11:52 PMGuest_4646 cool, could i possibly scower some minds to figure out how to fix a issue im having... i was trying to convert my seagate goflex external harddrive. so i could boot iso images off it... Somehow its set to a primary drive.. which i did convert back to logical.. but its not a useable usb drive..
07:11:58 PMalbertr Cool ;^)
07:12:36 PM_Jot_ Guest_4646, are you talking about Windows NTFS primary and logical?
07:12:43 PMGuest_4646 yeah
07:13:02 PM_Jot_ Guest_4646, in that case, you do want them set to 'primary', logical has to do with arrays of disks etc
07:13:17 PMTheChrista I don't think I said 'hey' yet!
07:13:19 PMTheChrista Hey all!
07:13:24 PMGuest_4646 Hi :D
07:13:32 PM_Jot_ hi TheChrista, you were just in time, so like I said nice to see you :)
07:13:44 PMStevo hi theChrista
07:13:54 PMagamotto 'Professor of Interactive Instructional Podcasts?'
07:14:04 PMcybersmurf hey Christa
07:14:16 PM_Jot_ Guest4646, there is another primary and logical with IDE-devices, where you have one as master (the primary) and the slave (the logical), and that is something else
07:14:32 PMagamotto 'Professor of Interactive Multimedia Programming?'
07:15:34 PMagamotto Guest_4646, look for the jumper block on the back of the drive... should say something like MA SL CS
07:15:44 PM_Jot_ Guest4646, in the old days, you would use one physical drive, but the computer couldn't handle that much space, so you had to use multiple logical drives to use all the space, but these days that is not needed at all, and so you want all drives to be primary
07:17:00 PM_Jot_ so if you 'convert to logical', for a whole drive, that's making a drive on a drive, to hold the complete information on that drive, and then it needs an extra step to reach it. So, you'll want to convert it back to physical
07:19:29 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, your laptop is very frustrating
07:19:45 PMagamotto Robbie, I think you have two laptops in the slides
07:20:51 PMajamison5579 Can yo animate him and not just have him put on the page
07:20:58 PMT0B33 Let me gues he is going to say "Install Zorin oS " haha
07:21:16 PMT0B33 Oh i was wrong DX
07:21:24 PMagamotto Yes, I think he hosts some cable show where they talk and yell loudly while trying to provoke the dead back to life...
07:22:46 PMagamotto Because it was all laying on a foundation of Windows?
07:22:50 PMagamotto lying?
07:23:13 PMU-Al Is there no download? It's all done online?
07:23:56 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you're supposed to use www.example.com, that's what it has been invented for
07:26:45 PMagamotto Interesting idea
07:28:02 PMGuest_5410 why does Robbie go out of focus at times but TheChrista stays in focus
07:28:03 PMcybersmurf nice to have have to install PowerPoint for the occasional slide shower creator ...
07:28:13 PMU-Al can you import a photo to PowToon?
07:28:16 PMcybersmurf ..er NOT have to ...
07:30:16 PMagamotto WTH is floating-point audio?
07:30:30 PMGuest_5410 It will be hard to beat windows media center
07:31:05 PMagamotto Guest_5410, Easily done with either XBMC or Mythbuntu
07:31:33 PMagamotto 2k x 2k in 3D?
07:31:36 PMDrumstick RobbieF: How about just running a LOOOONNGGG wire...
07:32:11 PM_Jot_ theChrista, run... Just run away before he starts talking more about it
07:32:20 PMGuest_5410 Myth was too too hard to setup
07:32:21 PMcybersmurf I saw a news article about groups of programmers renting homes in the Google-Kansas service area just to get the d/l sppeds.
07:32:35 PMagamotto Guest_5410, I will give on that issue
07:33:43 PMagamotto I wonder if it has the same problem in the Spanish version of the calendar
07:33:44 PMGuest_5410 I would be happy with Fiso
07:34:04 PMT0B33 Lol i loled at the happy face bit :L
07:34:19 PMchrisreich That machine looks much like the pre-cellular mobile 'phone base stations I used to install around the world.
07:34:36 PMagamotto RobbieF 'A keyboard? How quaint!'
07:35:27 PMbrighstar colossus 2 thats there is older and running
07:35:37 PMT0B33 Throw linux on one. Gains speed equal to a new one
07:35:42 PMagamotto Sadly, I remember the days of tape drives, along with 300/1200 baud modems...
07:36:03 PMDrumstick agamotto: Still have some of that hardware.... (sigh)
07:36:30 PMGuest_5410 Hayes modems
07:36:30 PMDrumstick Ain't she awesome!
07:36:45 PMagamotto Yet people are still using fax machines...
07:36:48 PMajamison5579 I want a computer that makes things i do everyday slower
07:36:57 PMcybersmurf I hate to admit that I've coded with punch cards.
07:36:58 PMDrumstick Liking my Netflix.
07:37:06 PMagamotto ajamison5579, Windows should fulful that need handily
07:37:18 PMagamotto fulful? sheesh
07:37:43 PMpyrosrock agamotto i was thinking that
07:37:49 PMajamison5579 agamotto Windows is not a computer its an OS
07:38:29 PMagamotto Ah, I missed that distinction... Ok, how about a Sinclair ZX? The keyboard alone should grind you to a halt
07:38:40 PMajamison5579 lol
07:38:41 PMDrumstick 50 min. to go on my 3.6G download of Zorin.... :)
07:39:11 PMagamotto Anyone else watching with justin.tv having stuttering?
07:39:20 PMajamison5579 I aspirations in life are to build a machine that will cause me to take 4 days to download an 100 mb file
07:39:25 PMajamison5579 lol'
07:39:34 PM_Jot_ it's fine for me agamotto
07:39:59 PMagamotto ajamison5579, A C=64 downloading at 1200 baud with Lynx ought to fit that bill
07:40:17 PMagamotto Ok, must be here at my end then
07:40:41 PMTheChrista that must just be robbie, he's a stutter'er
07:41:35 PMagamotto You could just epoxy the ports....
07:42:48 PMajamison5579 Debian is not only a Distribution is one of the founding fathers of most modern Linux Distros
07:42:55 PMajamison5579 the other being Red Hat
07:43:27 PMcybersmurf Justin.tv streaming fine for me.
07:43:42 PMGuest_5410 If I move to sid will I get an updated Iceweasel
07:43:44 PMagamotto Ok, must be at my end
07:44:30 PMagamotto Elitist?
07:44:59 PMajamison5579 its like Alpha, Beta Release
07:45:01 PMagamotto I would think Gentoo would be for the 'elite'
07:45:12 PMT0B33 Wheezy (testing) is amazing!
07:45:20 PMagamotto Ahh
07:45:30 PM_Jot_ I break my system every day! But then, I use Windows
07:45:38 PMalbertr Test in Virtualbox ;^)
07:45:42 PMRobbieF LOL Jot
07:45:48 PMagamotto Debian Sid = Windows ME
07:46:02 PMratts_ LOL
07:46:22 PMDrumstick LOL
07:46:30 PMratts_ ME drove me to Linux 10 years ago
07:46:46 PMT0B33 Windows 7 has been okay for me at the moment. Might consider going back to it to be honest and keep bodhi on my netbook
07:46:52 PMDrumstick ratts_: Did you a favor then huh? :)
07:46:53 PMagamotto ME kept me using my Amiga for another three years
07:47:38 PMDrumstick I use rsync to backup my Home...works great!
07:48:11 PMratts_ Knoppix 3.6 was what I first started with then Debian Etch - never looked back
07:48:17 PMGuest_5410 Robbie Back in time seems like a good program but how can i get it to see my Ready nas
07:48:22 PMagamotto TheChrista What are you drawing?
07:48:48 PMagamotto What is going on with my TAB key tonight?
07:48:57 PMtreedstang Hey Robbie have you heard about the nice hack that will allow you to run Netflix in Ubuntu using a patched version of wine... here's the link to the site .. it works real nice!!! http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html
07:49:21 PM_Jot_ yay, christmas-card! Thank you TheChrista
07:49:22 PMagamotto treedstang, Hmmm
07:49:30 PMajamison5579 agamotto she is using the wacom tablet as a mouse
07:49:37 PMajamison5579 instead of a mouse
07:50:10 PMagamotto I would imagine that anything would be more comfortable than a mouse
07:50:50 PM_Jot_ I would say 'Anger just slides off of RobbieF' but with that fuzz on his head, that's no longer really true
07:52:44 PMTheChrista you got it ajamison, the wacom comes with a mouse to use, but I'm used to using the pen as I use it all the time at home for my design work
07:53:18 PM_Jot_ TheChrista, you can tell because you use it very intuitively
07:53:26 PMagamotto Whereis and whatis are two of my favorite commands
07:53:34 PMT0B33 RobbieF debian based or arch based or slackware based or all distros?
07:54:04 PMDrumstick Liking Nvidia!

07:54:44 PMagamotto T0B33, Ubuntu currently
07:55:13 PMGuest_5410 I think the beta program was hacked ns now it's open to all
07:56:03 PMagamotto RobbieF Alternatively, you could do a show about how to install some games under WINE
07:56:04 PMpyrosrock Guest_5410 yes anyone can install it but only beta linked acounts can log in
07:56:13 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, is it just as exciting as Category5? I don't really believet hat
07:56:44 PMagamotto Cats 2-4 are currently napping...

08:02:26 PMagamotto I suppose I could just hang out here for a while
08:02:52 PMagamotto Neither of the fur kids is trying to get my attention currently
08:02:54 PMcybersmurf we could have a stare-ing contest.
08:03:46 PMTheChrista thanks for joining us folks
08:03:55 PMTheChrista it's always fantastic to be here
08:03:58 PM_Jot_ thanks for being there TheChrista
08:04:02 PMcybersmurf thx Christa, RobbieF
08:04:04 PMagamotto It is nice to be able to drop in for a live show
08:04:24 PMT0B33 good show as always thanks for coming in TheChrista and thanks for the tips RobbieF :)
08:04:57 PMcybersmurf ditto what agamotto said - I have conflicts on most Tuesdays now.
08:07:58 PMcybersmurf quit
08:08:19 PMagamotto Meh. I will depart as well
08:22:20 PM_Jot_ TheChrista, since you had a nice time, maybe you can come back next week too?
08:30:09 PMTheChrista ok jot, I guess you talked me into it
08:30:45 PM_Jot_ Great TheChrista! (okay, I checked the calender beforehand, I just wanted to be the good guy for once that brought TheChrista back)
08:31:27 PMTheChrista haha, you just have that charm Jot, I can't say no since you asked me so nicely
08:32:03 PM_Jot_ thank you TheChrista, but I'm not as charming as say, TheChrista
08:33:25 PMTheChrista haha, well, regardless....I will be back next week
08:33:31 PM_Jot_ yay!
08:34:20 PMTheChrista and it will be awesome
08:34:24 PMTheChrista and fantastic
08:34:30 PMTheChrista and you folks won't know what hit you
08:34:32 PM_Jot_ and amazing
08:34:38 PMTheChrista you got it
08:34:45 PMTheChrista quiet chat room tonight though
08:34:53 PMTheChrista usually there's quite a bit of banter going on after the show
08:35:18 PM_Jot_ it's lately more often quiet, don't exactly know why
08:35:35 PM_Jot_ maybe I talk too much or something
08:36:28 PMTheChrista must be the pre winter preparation
08:36:52 PM_Jot_ at least they don't have to prepare for the end of the world, according to the pope
08:37:51 PM_Jot_ too bad for RobbieF, after he dug that big hole for a bomb-proof shelter and so on
08:39:56 PMTheChrista what! he has a bomb proof shelter
08:40:17 PM_Jot_ yeah, you have to be careful where you walk, the entrance is under that piece of tarp there
08:43:00 PM_Jot_ he was going to put in a door and such, but it didn't arrive yet, and now he's not bothering anymore, so it's just a big hole, basically
08:44:26 PM_Jot_ Of course the really funny thing is that I'm making this up entirely, but you'll still watch where you're walking a little more careful as you go home :)
08:45:31 PMTheChrista i'm very suspicious now jot
08:45:46 PMTheChrista of course, if robbie does have a bomb shelter, then I don't have to dig my own
08:45:49 PMTheChrista so....bonus
08:46:05 PM_Jot_ yeah, on the other hand, you'd have to share a bomb shelter with robbie
08:47:07 PMTheChrista ah, true....you have a good point there jot
08:47:17 PMTheChrista I'll get Brad to dig us a bomb shelter of our own then
08:47:45 PM_Jot_ it's not that robbie is that bad of course, but then he has hair, then he doesn't, so that means it has to go somewhere, and that means hair everywhere
08:48:14 PMTheChrista you bring up a very valid point jot. It's a good thing you're around
08:48:28 PM_Jot_ I'm just trying to help :)
09:00:39 PMTheChrista welp, see ya folks
09:00:41 PMTheChrista have a great week
09:00:49 PM_Jot_ have a nice week! Say hi to Brad
