|
| 06:58:56 PM | robgor | tennessee_frank got down to 25c 77f last night and 41c or 105f today :(
|
| 06:59:19 PM | _Jot_ | don't throw pens at lionel, RobbieF and ErikaL
|
| 06:59:25 PM | mastermindzh | yeah, really good today Dennis_Kelley , wonder if it will stay good though
|
| 06:59:34 PM | Tennessee_Frank | robgor, you dawg, wish it were warmer here. It's been low 50's F the last couple days but it's going to get cold again,
|
| 06:59:44 PM | napa_polarbear | good day?
|
| 06:59:51 PM | mastermindzh | run robbie run!
|
| 07:00:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF looks so "French" with the beard and all, LOL
|
| 07:00:09 PM | robgor | but I hate the heat
|
| 07:00:28 PM | mastermindzh | had to turn on the dslr robbie?
|
| 07:00:32 PM | mastermindzh | hey invinciblemutant
|
| 07:00:36 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh most of my friends are senior citizens; they tell me that changing to Linux is too difficult; I think Zorin is the game-changer I've been looking for
|
| 07:00:45 PM | invinciblemutant | hi
|
| 07:00:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Howdy everyone
|
| 07:00:53 PM | invinciblemutant | mastermindzh: heya
|
| 07:00:59 PM | mastermindzh | zorin os is really good for switchers indeed :)
|
| 07:01:02 PM | Dennis_Kelley | How D
|
| 07:01:19 PM | _Jot_ | don't fall down RobbieF
|
| 07:01:46 PM | Tennessee_Frank | =-O
|
| 07:01:56 PM | Tennessee_Frank | And I thought my AAO was small
|
| 07:01:59 PM | invinciblemutant | is the video rolling?
|
| 07:02:15 PM | mastermindzh | dual core as well Tennessee_Frank ;)
|
| 07:02:18 PM | mastermindzh | it is invinciblemutant
|
| 07:02:22 PM | _Jot_ | video is fine on youtube and VLC
|
| 07:02:38 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh I know next to NOTHING about Linux, but my friends know even LESS, and I want to move them away from the clusterfsck from Redmond
|
| 07:02:40 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Actually the N270 Atom is a single core with HyperThreading so it can act like a dual core
|
| 07:02:47 PM | invinciblemutant | ok..got it
|
| 07:03:02 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, don't be afraid to come in the chatroom during the week to ask some questions :)
|
| 07:03:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It scored 16.68 on the CPU Blowfish benchmark test
|
| 07:03:15 PM | invinciblemutant | the safari video mask does not work live youtube i think
|
| 07:03:17 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, the n270 is slow in comparison :)
|
| 07:03:31 PM | Tennessee_Frank | My HP/Compaq nc6400's score 9.28 but they're core duo 1.83GHz
|
| 07:03:39 PM | mastermindzh | Yeah my little netbook has the n270 as well hehe
|
| 07:03:50 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I guess the N450 Atoms are real dual core
|
| 07:03:55 PM | mastermindzh | Great t-shirt RobbieF :)
|
| 07:04:05 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh my bizarre schedule keeps me offline until late at night, and this is the first time I've ever been IN a chatroom!
|
| 07:04:23 PM | mastermindzh | N450 are in the newer asus eee pc's I've got one of those too.
|
| 07:04:33 PM | mastermindzh | They are not bad, but still a little underpowered for my taste
|
| 07:04:46 PM | Tennessee_Frank | They're suppose to be bringing out a quad core Atom if it's not out already
|
| 07:04:55 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, ah, well I live in the netherlands so you'd have to get your help someone else then haha
|
| 07:05:12 PM | mastermindzh | I'm kinda done with atom's tbh Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:05:25 PM | mastermindzh | the new intel'
|
| 07:05:26 PM | mastermindzh | s
|
| 07:05:34 PM | mastermindzh | don't use too much power
|
| 07:05:40 PM | mastermindzh | hey IMTech5
|
| 07:05:41 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I just wanted something small to take along so I could check e-mail and stuff. Not going to do any video editing or anything, LOL
|
| 07:05:52 PM | IMTech5 | Hey mastermindz!
|
| 07:05:56 PM | mastermindzh | What are you running on it Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:06:00 PM | _Jot_ | email live@category5 with the subject line 'I want wirecast' (without the quotes) and the username you are registered with? I'm so there
|
| 07:06:08 PM | mastermindzh | Wirecast is windows, I can't run it :P
|
| 07:06:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Ubuntu/GNOME 13.10
|
| 07:06:22 PM | IMTech5 | Hey Tennessee_Frank!
|
| 07:06:30 PM | invinciblemutant | gnome-shell rocks to me
|
| 07:06:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Folks say that you need to run a "lite" version of Linux on a Netbook but heck, if it'll run Windows then ANY version of Linux is Lite, LOL
|
| 07:06:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Howdy IMTech5
|
| 07:06:49 PM | mastermindzh | hehe so true Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:07:06 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It only uses 206MB of RAM for the desktop
|
| 07:07:08 PM | mastermindzh | though I've grown to like xfce more though
|
| 07:07:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'm a MATE or GNOME 3 kind of guy with GNOME 3 really looking good to me now that I know how to tweak it to my needs.
|
| 07:07:49 PM | mastermindzh | well canon had magic lantern so someone needed to make something for nikon :)
|
| 07:07:53 PM | zorin_soon | I can't see or hear the live feed; what am I doing wrong?
|
| 07:08:19 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, try watching at http://live.cat5.tv
|
| 07:08:21 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I need to find the Accelerated Graphic Drivers for the AAO so I can move from 8MB of video RAM to 244MB.
|
| 07:08:32 PM | mastermindzh | if that doesn't work try getting the vlc link from the category5 mainpage
|
| 07:08:55 PM | invinciblemutant | watch out the traffic to nikonhacker.com :P
|
| 07:09:00 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Makes sense, ya' have to dance with the one that brung ya'. LOL
|
| 07:09:03 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh thanks I have that window open; nothing there
|
| 07:09:06 PM | _Jot_ | If it doesn't work, check your flash and browser and such, different browsers may work better
|
| 07:09:39 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, what browser / os are you using?
|
| 07:10:45 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh thank you! the vlc link is WORKING! using Win7 / Firefox
|
| 07:10:51 PM | mastermindzh | cool :)
|
| 07:10:56 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Little Netbooks are so darn cute, I just can't stand it. Looks like a small laptop my cats would use, LOL
|
| 07:11:19 PM | zorin_soon | _Jot_ thank you also
|
| 07:11:23 PM | mastermindzh | Hehe netbooks are great when you load linux on it :)
|
| 07:11:32 PM | trytr | I'll have to watch the taped version later as it is draining my bandwidth too much at this time
|
| 07:11:38 PM | mastermindzh | manjaro XFCE is on pretty much all my netbooks now
|
| 07:11:49 PM | _Jot_ | fortunatly the downloadable versions are very small
|
| 07:11:52 PM | mastermindzh | aww trytr , too bad.
|
| 07:11:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I've been wanting something really small to take around with me. I think this one will be perfect once I upgrade the RAM and SSD
|
| 07:11:57 PM | invinciblemutant | how is the guest from
|
| 07:12:22 PM | trytr | I have dsl problems and I found that streams drain bandwidth
|
| 07:12:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Spelling, what's that????
|
| 07:12:38 PM | mastermindzh | I has gotz no ideaz :)
|
| 07:12:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Thank God for Spell Check or ya'll would be laughing your butts off at my spelling.
|
| 07:13:30 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Will you Brick it.
|
| 07:13:40 PM | RobbieF | Apparently yes! ;)
|
| 07:13:41 PM | RobbieF | hehe
|
| 07:13:42 PM | RobbieF | I'll ask
|
| 07:13:44 PM | RobbieF | but he did it!
|
| 07:13:48 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL
|
| 07:13:57 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, the subtitle of my blog is "the blog with more spelling errors on 1 article than the average blog has in total"
|
| 07:14:13 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, mastermindzh, good one pard.
|
| 07:14:38 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Always test stuff on someone elses stuff first, LOL
|
| 07:15:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | So this is like Firmware upgrades and stuff??
|
| 07:15:52 PM | mastermindzh | yep Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:16:12 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Many times the main difference in the price of something is the firmware.
|
| 07:16:15 PM | mastermindzh | basically a DSLR out of the box is running "windows" then when you flash it with either this nikon stuff or magic lantern for canon it's like putting linux on it :)
|
| 07:16:35 PM | mastermindzh | so it will run better than ever, and have more features as well!
|
| 07:16:35 PM | mastermindzh | :D
|
| 07:16:38 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Windows, boo, hiss.
|
| 07:16:41 PM | ErikaL | Yes mastermindzh ! spot on
|
| 07:17:11 PM | RobbieF | that's the idea!
|
| 07:17:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | First thing I did once I saw the Acer was going to work was install Ubuntu/GNOME on it and get that crappy Windows XP off of it. Yes, I can't stand MicroSoft.
|
| 07:17:59 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Must be running Windows, LOL
|
| 07:18:03 PM | SimeonPilgrim | not sure I'd say it's a windows to linux thing.
|
| 07:18:16 PM | mastermindzh | a hot pixel basically is very bright RobbieF ;)
|
| 07:18:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF help he get some Linux on his 'puter.
|
| 07:18:29 PM | mastermindzh | SimeonPilgrim, I'm aware :) it's a pun really :)
|
| 07:18:52 PM | Tennessee_Frank | A Pun about a Nun with a Gun who's on the Run???
|
| 07:18:59 PM | mastermindzh | exactly Tennessee_Frank :)
|
| 07:19:01 PM | _Jot_ | sounds like fun
|
| 07:19:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots. I like Manning and the Broncos.
|
| 07:19:29 PM | RobbieF | a bit more like a router, and then putting DD-WRT... a bit closer of an analogy
|
| 07:19:46 PM | RobbieF | although this, at this point is more of "improving" the existing firmware rather than replacing it with something altogether different.
|
| 07:19:53 PM | zorin_soon | Life-long Patriots fan here...
|
| 07:20:06 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'd love DD-WRT but they don't have it for my router.:'(
|
| 07:20:22 PM | Guest_4392 | hey
|
| 07:20:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'll forgive you zorin_soon
|
| 07:20:33 PM | mastermindzh | hey Guest_4392
|
| 07:20:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Green Bay is my favorite NFL team but I also like the Broncos
|
| 07:21:17 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's the trick, buy the "cheaper" and upgrade it.
|
| 07:21:23 PM | Guest_4392 | thanks, it seems it work. Hi Simeon, unfortunately I am completely blocked from watching :(
|
| 07:21:41 PM | _Jot_ | not being able to watch is never nice
|
| 07:21:42 PM | Guest_4392 | hi Acc3ss
|
| 07:21:46 PM | Guest_4392 | rat here
|
| 07:21:58 PM | Acc3ss | hi coderat :)
|
| 07:22:02 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Looks a lot brighter
|
| 07:22:03 PM | _Jot_ | wow, it's like the background is in focus but RobbieF's bald head is pretty out of focus
|
| 07:22:22 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF I.Q went up by 20 points, LOL
|
| 07:22:23 PM | SimeonPilgrim | haha, Hi rat, will be on youtube later.
|
| 07:22:29 PM | mastermindzh | _Jot_, spot on, it seems RobbieF didn't focus very well :)
|
| 07:22:41 PM | SimeonPilgrim | RobbieF af point seems to be back wall, not uoi.
|
| 07:22:43 PM | SimeonPilgrim | not you.
|
| 07:22:50 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF of course ya' know I'm just hackin' on ya' pard.
|
| 07:22:58 PM | zorin_soon | not asking your forgiveness, Tennessee_Frank; I know you're joking but my uncle took me to see the BOSTON Patriots play before I started 1st grade
|
| 07:23:08 PM | _Jot_ | wirecast is great by the way, that does focus correctly, if you provide it with good material
|
| 07:23:15 PM | Guest_4392 | Simeon: no chance, here it is all blocked by provider
|
| 07:23:43 PM | mastermindzh | I got my 5d filming raw thanks to magic lantern, would be great to see the nikon folks have something similar as well :)
|
| 07:23:59 PM | RobbieF | Ach! Stupid auto focus--what can Nikon Hacker do about that? :) haha. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix it in a sec...
|
| 07:24:12 PM | Acc3ss | i can download it from YT and up it to ftp rat
|
| 07:24:13 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I understand zorin_soon. You have to love a team that's a memory like that.
|
| 07:24:31 PM | mastermindzh | RobbieF, don't blame the autofocus! you shouldn't be autofocusing while shooting video!
|
| 07:24:36 PM | RobbieF | Hahaha :)
|
| 07:24:37 PM | RobbieF | too true
|
| 07:24:39 PM | mastermindzh | :D
|
| 07:24:39 PM | RobbieF | but I've got no camera op
|
| 07:24:44 PM | Guest_4392 | I mean there is always a chance, but I am so tired, will not look for proxy now. But possible
|
| 07:24:44 PM | _Jot_ | it's all RobbieF's fault :)
|
| 07:24:48 PM | RobbieF | It is.
|
| 07:25:02 PM | RobbieF | BUT please note: the background looks AMAAAAAAAZING. :)
|
| 07:25:12 PM | mastermindzh | Almost looks like real brick!
|
| 07:25:15 PM | zorin_soon | I was born less than six months after Albert Einstein died, although I am NOT Einstein's re-incarnated soul
|
| 07:25:31 PM | _Jot_ | I can still remember how you broke down the wall and then rebuild it in the new house, it was so much work but so satisfying to watch
|
| 07:25:42 PM | _Jot_ | it looks just as amazing now as it did then
|
| 07:26:22 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wait until everyone starts going to 4K, then it'll get really expensive
|
| 07:26:23 PM | mastermindzh | a good photographer would invest in better lenses hehe
|
| 07:26:53 PM | RobbieF | okay that's a bit better - gasp!
|
| 07:26:57 PM | RobbieF | let's try again
|
| 07:27:17 PM | zorin_soon | looks as if I drove bill777 away...
|
| 07:27:41 PM | _Jot_ | people join and leave all the time during the week :)
|
| 07:27:53 PM | SimeonPilgrim | haha, that trash compactor shown in adds, is what my day job run on....
|
| 07:28:07 PM | zorin_soon | yeah, I'm just goofing around
|
| 07:28:13 PM | mastermindzh | If this becomes the quality you better shave RobbieF :D
|
| 07:28:14 PM | _Jot_ | it's a little better, still a bit too bright but oh well :)
|
| 07:28:37 PM | zorin_soon | LOST THE SOUND on VLC
|
| 07:28:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Broncos/Pats game is going to be totally awesome. Two really great QB's fighting it out. Can't wait.
|
| 07:28:47 PM | mastermindzh | Probably the reflection of the studio lights _Jot_ , the normal camera's arent as sensitive to light so he's got them turned up too high for the dslr :)
|
| 07:28:57 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF really should stop shaving and rubbing shine on his head
|
| 07:29:11 PM | SimeonPilgrim | you can run custom gamma curves, on the nikons
|
| 07:29:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Does anyone else thing RobbieF looks really "French" with the beard and stuff???
|
| 07:29:26 PM | IMTech5 | _Jot_: LOL!!!!!!!!!
|
| 07:29:28 PM | BobK54 | oui
|
| 07:29:29 PM | mastermindzh | not really Tennessee_Frank
|
| 07:29:29 PM | Acc3ss | He needs a MD filter to stop the shine
|
| 07:29:33 PM | _Jot_ | Zorin, try reloading, the VLC stream stometimes does that and even completely stops or freezes at times
|
| 07:29:51 PM | RobbieF | bahaha mastermindzh - maybe we'll go back to the blurry focus :)
|
| 07:29:51 PM | RobbieF | yes, I could tweak the colors and exposure a bit for sure! C'mon, I had 30 seconds! :) haha.
|
| 07:29:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Maybe it's just me but he IS in Canada and they're are a lot of French folks up there, LOL
|
| 07:29:56 PM | zorin_soon | Tennessee_Frank I bought a 1.75 L bottle of Seagram's 7 just to help me celebrate when the Patriots win the Superbowl...
|
| 07:30:04 PM | ErikaL | i think the hacked firmware , gives robbie the soap opera look !
|
| 07:30:24 PM | mastermindzh | Don't worry RobbieF the video looks great :)
|
| 07:30:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I've been drinking 100 proof Hot Damn Snapps. Stuff is uber good when it's really cold from the frezzer.
|
| 07:30:47 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wow, that looks so bad now compared to the other camera.
|
| 07:30:58 PM | _Jot_ | normal camera is always looking better cause he's calibrated on that :)
|
| 07:31:23 PM | zorin_soon | THANKS YOU! restarting VLC did the trick
|
| 07:31:49 PM | zorin_soon | thanks _Jot_!
|
| 07:31:54 PM | invinciblemutant | D5100 is out in terms of colour to me
|
| 07:32:00 PM | invinciblemutant | the contrast is too high
|
| 07:32:05 PM | RobbieF | Entirely my fault!
|
| 07:32:12 PM | RobbieF | but you can see the QUALITY difference
|
| 07:32:17 PM | RobbieF | I can tweak it manually
|
| 07:32:17 PM | _Jot_ | I always have the radio, VLC and youtube stream open at the same time, so I can see if things really stop or if it's just one stream having issues (or my ISP or something)
|
| 07:32:19 PM | invinciblemutant | I think RobbieF is still tuning it
|
| 07:32:33 PM | mastermindzh | You could just get a filter too RobbieF :)
|
| 07:32:38 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.;-)
|
| 07:32:39 PM | _Jot_ | I know RobbieF always tries to make things better
|
| 07:32:48 PM | invinciblemutant | where is simeon from?
|
| 07:32:49 PM | zorin_soon | _Jot_ thanks I will do that next time
|
| 07:32:54 PM | RobbieF | could probabaly use a lens hood too under these lights
|
| 07:32:55 PM | mastermindzh | invinciblemutant, what are you shooting with? I myself have a 5d and 60d :)
|
| 07:33:18 PM | SimeonPilgrim | i'm from New Zealand
|
| 07:33:30 PM | _Jot_ | I do have a 35mbit or now 50mbit internet, so I can easily do that, make sure you have the bandwidth for it (even though it doesn't use that much)
|
| 07:33:31 PM | mastermindzh | RobbieF, a lens hood won't do much good if the camera is behind the lights though.
|
| 07:33:38 PM | invinciblemutant | i am referring to RobbieF's d5100
|
| 07:33:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | "Lord of the Rings" territory, Sweet.
|
| 07:33:51 PM | RobbieF | camera has multiple lights above it, and in front of it
|
| 07:33:58 PM | RobbieF | and 3 behind it
|
| 07:34:09 PM | invinciblemutant | SimeonPilgrim: are you a NZ native
|
| 07:34:29 PM | zorin_soon | _Jot_ thanks I'm in southern California with a fast cable connection so bandwidth isn't a problem...
|
| 07:34:37 PM | invinciblemutant | ic...That could be the problem...lol
|
| 07:34:44 PM | mastermindzh | Don't nikon lenses usually come with a hood? I know canon only gives us hoods with L lenses no diea how nikon does it though
|
| 07:34:49 PM | _Jot_ | Zorin, great, :)
|
| 07:34:57 PM | SimeonPilgrim | yes NZ native
|
| 07:35:03 PM | RobbieF | I have hoods, but I don't have one on the lens I'm using tonight.
|
| 07:35:11 PM | invinciblemutant | the normal camera seems more natural...
|
| 07:35:18 PM | invinciblemutant | thanks SimeonPilgrim for the info
|
| 07:35:21 PM | zorin_soon | who you calling a hood?
|
| 07:35:30 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I have a jacket with a hood
|
| 07:35:51 PM | invinciblemutant | no silverlight , moonlight is out too on linux
|
| 07:36:10 PM | mastermindzh | pipelight sometimes helps
|
| 07:36:43 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL
|
| 07:37:02 PM | invinciblemutant | i think linux users are usually good at command line
|
| 07:37:17 PM | mastermindzh | I always use hoods, I never take them off.
|
| 07:37:33 PM | mastermindzh | The only lens that doesn't have a hood is my only non-l 50mm :)
|
| 07:37:36 PM | _Jot_ | I don
|
| 07:37:38 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I always ware a hat so I rarely need my hood.
|
| 07:37:45 PM | _Jot_ | I don't think I am good with cameras, I always get black pictures
|
| 07:38:00 PM | mastermindzh | _Jot_, take the cap of the lens next time
|
| 07:38:04 PM | invinciblemutant | lol
|
| 07:38:10 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL
|
| 07:38:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's why all my pics were like I took em' in a dark cave.
|
| 07:38:30 PM | _Jot_ | cap? oh, so that's what that black thing is
|
| 07:38:45 PM | invinciblemutant | SimeonPilgrim: interesting
|
| 07:39:10 PM | mastermindzh | yes, it is usually secured in either of two ways: with little clips on the far sides, or on the middle
|
| 07:39:52 PM | mastermindzh | _Jot_, gotta warn you though. don't put the cap on a little pole on the edge of the monkey pit
|
| 07:39:55 PM | mastermindzh | they WILL take it and WONT give it back
|
| 07:40:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | ErikaL, you're still here. LOL You were so quiet.
|
| 07:40:12 PM | SimeonPilgrim | cheers for the interview you all.
|
| 07:40:13 PM | _Jot_ | darn, cheeky monkeys
|
| 07:40:23 PM | zorin_soon | LOL
|
| 07:40:25 PM | Tennessee_Frank | RobbieF you look a little purple now, the other camera looked more natural.
|
| 07:40:30 PM | _Jot_ | you're welcome Simeon, feel free to take up Robbie's offers and feel free to stop by
|
| 07:40:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | You're growing your beard out, of course you're "fuzzy", LOL
|
| 07:40:52 PM | mastermindzh | RobbieF, you really don't need a camera person if the camera is steady.
|
| 07:41:00 PM | _Jot_ | the background was amazingly coloured and focussed
|
| 07:41:04 PM | invinciblemutant | RobbieF: yea indeed the focal point is on the backdrop
|
| 07:41:07 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Yep
|
| 07:41:42 PM | zorin_soon | I want that backdrop to hide some shelves in my garage
|
| 07:41:53 PM | SimeonPilgrim | nod, camera could be much tweaked.
|
| 07:42:06 PM | mastermindzh | it's not a backdrop zorin_soon it's a brick wall!
|
| 07:42:31 PM | _Jot_ | you could even choose a different type of brick or something, be creative :)
|
| 07:42:36 PM | SimeonPilgrim | but the brickwall is in the background, as compared to be a foreground object.
|
| 07:42:54 PM | mastermindzh | I think the edison is just a show off pc.
|
| 07:43:15 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh I'm going to duplicate the brick wall with cardboard to hide those shelves
|
| 07:43:16 PM | mastermindzh | just intel saying: look at us, we can make an sd card sized pc
|
| 07:43:34 PM | _Jot_ | people have been wondering how you power it, since it doesn't seem to have external connections. But it doesn't even show if it has the standard SD-card connections, if it does, it would have plenty then
|
| 07:43:49 PM | invinciblemutant | price
|
| 07:43:50 PM | invinciblemutant | ?
|
| 07:43:52 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Anyway watch "Intelligence" the other night. Guy has a chip in his head.
|
| 07:44:04 PM | mastermindzh | invinciblemutant, it's not for sale to regular consumers :)
|
| 07:44:18 PM | zorin_soon | I read about the new Intel hardware in the December issue of MaximumPC magazine
|
| 07:44:28 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Whaaaat.=-O
|
| 07:44:29 PM | invinciblemutant | then why do we compare again raspberry pi
|
| 07:44:50 PM | mastermindzh | probably because everyone has seen a raspberry pi
|
| 07:44:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Wow, just starting to like GNOME 3 with the Tweak Tools
|
| 07:44:55 PM | invinciblemutant | i mean compare with
|
| 07:44:57 PM | mastermindzh | and because a raspberry pi is just great :)
|
| 07:45:08 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: I second you
|
| 07:45:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Moooobuntu
|
| 07:45:17 PM | _Jot_ | it's also a test-object, if there is enough demand, they'll make products like it, and if people aren't that interested, they won't bother and save money
|
| 07:45:27 PM | mastermindzh | you could install cowsay or x-cowsay on mooobuntu :)
|
| 07:45:28 PM | invinciblemutant | boooo
|
| 07:45:33 PM | invinciblemutant | booo!!!!
|
| 07:45:55 PM | _Jot_ | wow, newsroom in the newsroom
|
| 07:46:10 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Cow a fornia
|
| 07:46:19 PM | zorin_soon | my coffee is getting cold because I'm having so much fun interacting with eveyone
|
| 07:46:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | That's where Mooobuntu will be huge.
|
| 07:46:32 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, yeah the chatroom is a great place to hang out :)
|
| 07:46:40 PM | _Jot_ | Zorin, why not get those USB-coffee-hot-keepers :)
|
| 07:46:40 PM | ErikaL | ahhahaah cow every thing
|
| 07:46:54 PM | mastermindzh | because they don't heat a cup _Jot_ they just heat the bottom
|
| 07:46:58 PM | _Jot_ | cow on skis?
|
| 07:47:10 PM | _Jot_ | use a metal cup?
|
| 07:47:14 PM | zorin_soon | should we refer to that as "The Krista Effect"?
|
| 07:47:24 PM | mastermindzh | it can't even heat a metal cup :)
|
| 07:47:32 PM | zorin_soon | BILLIONS of dollars CASH!
|
| 07:47:39 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Move to the Bahamas and drink umbrella drinks on the beach with my toes in the sand.
|
| 07:47:45 PM | zorin_soon | they should give Krista a cut!
|
| 07:47:49 PM | _Jot_ | billions of dollars? thats like what, 10 euros?
|
| 07:48:04 PM | zorin_soon | how much is that in Looneys?
|
| 07:48:06 PM | mastermindzh | yeah I heard about this slowcooker on las :P
|
| 07:48:12 PM | invinciblemutant | anyone fancy building a mug with a built in thermostat
|
| 07:48:37 PM | zorin_soon | how about a bluetoothLE coffeewarmer?
|
| 07:48:50 PM | Tennessee_Frank | About time
|
| 07:49:05 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Windows sucks to badly, Linux is really the only option
|
| 07:49:26 PM | mastermindzh | hehe
|
| 07:49:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | ErikaL, You KNEW a GUY, lOL
|
| 07:49:37 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Buuut
|
| 07:49:50 PM | zorin_soon | college kids steal EVERYTHING!
|

|
| 07:50:00 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Toaster
|
| 07:50:09 PM | invinciblemutant | and flush down the drain
|
| 07:50:11 PM | mastermindzh | I'd totally hack my neighbours toaster to do weird stuff :)
|
| 07:50:22 PM | _Jot_ | you could even use a robotarm to load the toaster with bread
|
| 07:50:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Toast in bed, sorry but NO
|
| 07:50:31 PM | mastermindzh | think about it though, ssh'ing into your toaster :)
|
| 07:50:41 PM | Tennessee_Frank | crumbs everywhere, uncomfortable.
|
| 07:50:42 PM | _Jot_ | build a little train to ride the toast to the bed
|

|
| 07:51:56 PM | _Jot_ | you'd have to sudo everything though
|
| 07:51:58 PM | tic-toc | ZAP

|
| 07:52:12 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'm trying to find the Accelerated Graphic Drivers for my Acer Aspire ZG5 A110 to bump it up from 8MB to 244MB.
|
| 07:52:14 PM | alpeck | this is a family program
|
| 07:52:31 PM | _Jot_ | so much for freedom of information and liberty and what not in the US :)

|
| 07:53:47 PM | _Jot_ | you don't have cold and hot running beer-lines throughout the house?
|
| 07:53:52 PM | zorin_soon | I need to put that slogan on a t-shirt
|
| 07:54:10 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, it's time you guys converted anyways
|
| 07:54:16 PM | zorin_soon | snowmageddon
|
| 07:54:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, I'll never convert, way too old.
|
| 07:54:25 PM | tic-toc | wow'
|
| 07:54:40 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: sudo apt-get remove pulse
|
| 07:54:56 PM | Guest_4392 | quit bye bye
|
| 07:55:07 PM | mastermindzh | the metric system is a international system. yet you silly americans don't switch
|
| 07:55:11 PM | alpeck | sudo while snow ; do ; shovel snow; done
|
| 07:55:11 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It's summer Down Under though, of course it'll be warm
|
| 07:55:21 PM | SimeonPilgrim | we be have nice mid 20c here in NZ, nice to see all the code people stories....
|
| 07:55:24 PM | _Jot_ | I think the US switched but everybody just ignores it
|
| 07:55:26 PM | tic-toc | Don't worry, more snow is coming
|
| 07:55:45 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant:: are you asking me to commit suicide?
|
| 07:55:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I can't wait for some Global Warming. It was freezing here last week.
|
| 07:56:03 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: lol...jsut a joke
|
| 07:56:06 PM | _Jot_ | pulse is the audio-system for linux
|
| 07:56:36 PM | mastermindzh | or was it called alsa _Jot_ ?? hehe
|
| 07:56:44 PM | mastermindzh | I prefer pulse though (don't shoot me)
|
| 07:56:45 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Hey, look at the little guy go.
|
| 07:56:45 PM | mastermindzh | xD
|
| 07:56:51 PM | invinciblemutant | _Jot_: you got the point...asking her to shut up
|
| 07:57:17 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant, I thought it was a legitimate request, and I was willing to consider it, but OK... :D
|
| 07:57:45 PM | mastermindzh | teach the children with the excellent gcompris learning software!
|
| 07:57:54 PM | _Jot_ | being alive you can much easier get money to http://cat5.tv/studio or http://cat5.tv/c
|
| 07:58:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Glad to be back. Holidays were busy
|
| 07:58:25 PM | invinciblemutant | most of the routers are using linux right
|
| 07:58:26 PM | mastermindzh | I get it RobbieF :)
|
| 07:58:27 PM | robgor | great show guys
|
| 07:58:39 PM | zorin_soon | I tried Kimo for Kids, pretty good OS...
|
| 07:58:48 PM | invinciblemutant | thanks RobbieF for the show
|
| 07:58:52 PM | mastermindzh | no ErikaL it stands for "zero hour" which is a game expansion for the "command and conquer generals" game :)
|
| 07:59:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Skeet shooting with prizes.
|
| 07:59:08 PM | mastermindzh | since I already had the name mastermindzh on the original game I couldn't get the name on the expansion as well :)
|
| 07:59:31 PM | mastermindzh | thepianoguys actually do more cello music , which is kinda weird :D
|
| 07:59:46 PM | zorin_soon | CELLO ROCKS!
|
| 07:59:55 PM | mastermindzh | when they do it, yes. :)
|
| 08:00:33 PM | zorin_soon | Qimo for Kids, NOT Kimo...
|
| 08:00:33 PM | invinciblemutant | ops....video is stuck here
|
| 08:00:33 PM | IMTech5 | Great show @RobbieF and ErickL! Thanks!
|
| 08:00:45 PM | mastermindzh | I might put the sticker on a cup as well, seeing as we get 2 now anyways :)
|
| 08:00:56 PM | invinciblemutant | sounds scary ...chemo?
|
| 08:00:56 PM | mastermindzh | Thanks for the show ErikaL and RobbieF
|
| 08:00:57 PM | zorin_soon | thanks for the shoutout, RobbieF
|
| 08:00:58 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Cool show, glad I could make it.

|
| 08:01:18 PM | _Jot_ | you too IMTech5
|
| 08:01:25 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, next time you stop by during the weak be a little bit more patient! (or mention our names) hehe

| 08:01:47 PM | _Jot_ | sounds like somebody is stuffing their mouth
|
| 08:01:58 PM | ErikaL | yeah taffy !
|
| 08:02:03 PM | BobK54 | night all

|
| 08:02:25 PM | mastermindzh | Bye ErikaL
|
| 08:02:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | See you guys later.

|
| 08:02:52 PM | ErikaL | enjoy the warm or cold temperature :P
|
| 08:02:56 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I still need to find out were I can get some info on Accelerated Graphic software for my acer
|
| 08:03:00 PM | mastermindzh | to you too zorin_soon , good luck with the switch :)
|
| 08:03:12 PM | zorin_soon | bit of a heatwave here in soCal
|
| 08:03:24 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, what wifi chip do you have?
|
| 08:03:30 PM | zorin_soon | mastermindzh thank you
|
| 08:03:52 PM | invinciblemutant | is the amazon drone a UFO kinda thing?
|
| 08:03:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Not for WiFi, it's for the Graphic Chip set, IIRC it's Intel 945 but I'd not swear to it.
|
| 08:03:55 PM | zorin_soon | Tennessee_Frank all the best to you and yours GO PATRIOTS!
|
| 08:03:55 PM | RobbieF | Thanks everyone!!
|
| 08:03:58 PM | invinciblemutant | it flies?
|
| 08:04:10 PM | Tennessee_Frank | LOL, Go home with a loss, LOL
|
| 08:04:25 PM | mastermindzh | try using a "lspci -v" Tennessee_Frank
|
| 08:04:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Either way it'll be a good game zorin_soon
|
| 08:04:27 PM | zorin_soon | HAHAHAHAHA!
|
| 08:04:41 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Hang on, let me post the link I read.
|
| 08:05:11 PM | zorin_soon | you younger guys type too fast I can't keep up
|
| 08:05:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | http://www.virtualsecrets.com/acer-aspire-one-netbook.html
|
| 08:05:40 PM | _Jot_ | heh, I'm not young, but then I don't type that fast :)
|
| 08:05:57 PM | Tennessee_Frank | "I was not impressed with the 8MB integrated graphics card memory size. That proved to be a short-lived problem...after I installed the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile (Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family) - driver version 6.14.10.4926 - the available graphics memory went from 8MB to 224MB! That is what I like to see."
|
| 08:06:26 PM | Tennessee_Frank | he's running Windows XP, I need something similar for Ubuntu with the same chip set.
|
| 08:06:28 PM | robgor | new versions of clonezilla and system rescue cd on distrowatch.com
|
| 08:06:50 PM | mastermindzh | link won't load for me Tennessee_Frank
|
| 08:07:00 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I took typing in High School, one of the few things I learned that I actually use.
|
| 08:07:38 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Link is working ok on my end. Might be a Netherlands thing.
|
| 08:07:40 PM | zorin_soon | too many motorcycle crashes have taken a toll on my hands
|
| 08:07:41 PM | mastermindzh | I learned typing quickly from a little penguin :)
|
| 08:08:04 PM | invinciblemutant | how do you increase the display memory?
|
| 08:08:18 PM | invinciblemutant | the physical memory is fixed
|
| 08:08:25 PM | zorin_soon | took typing in high school in senior year (1973) and FAILED!
|
| 08:08:34 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I need this: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile (Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family) - driver version 6.14.10.4926 but for Ubuntu 13.10.
|
| 08:08:39 PM | invinciblemutant | unless you are allocating more ram to your display
|
| 08:08:53 PM | invinciblemutant | with the screen size, there is no point allocating more ram to it
|
| 08:09:01 PM | invinciblemutant | unless you are using an external screen
|
| 08:09:04 PM | _Jot_ | Zorin, you're supposed to stay on the bike, and not fall off or crash, didn't they tell you?
|
| 08:09:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | available graphics memory went from 8MB to 224MB. That's what I'm looking to do on my Acer.
|
| 08:09:11 PM | mastermindzh | zorin_soon, I wasn't even born then :P
|
| 08:09:13 PM | zorin_soon | the virtualsecrets.com page worked for me too....
|
| 08:09:23 PM | mastermindzh | it's working for me now too :)
|
| 08:09:27 PM | invinciblemutant | mastermindzh: the link works here too in malayais
|
| 08:09:50 PM | Tennessee_Frank | More Graphics memory will make video playback smoother.
|
| 08:10:05 PM | zorin_soon | I don't have a problem with my age, but the young girls I meet in clubs DO!
|
| 08:10:24 PM | zorin_soon | being ugly probably doesn't help much
|
| 08:10:26 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: you tested that? it is really smoother?
|
| 08:10:38 PM | mastermindzh | hehe zorin_soon , maybe you are lucky
|
| 08:10:48 PM | Tennessee_Frank | No way to test it since I've not found the drivers to install to test it.
|
| 08:10:49 PM | mastermindzh | you don't have to do home automation for a cat -_-
|
| 08:10:59 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: have you tested that?
|
| 08:11:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | The guy on the web site seemed to think it was better.
|
| 08:11:23 PM | zorin_soon | nope, not lucky, never won the lottery, and don't have any cats here
|
| 08:11:30 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: did you test it out yourself?
|
| 08:11:40 PM | invinciblemutant | i have a unit of the netbook here too
|
| 08:11:45 PM | mastermindzh | Tennessee_Frank, he might've just "increased" his graphics memory by using some system memory
|
| 08:11:45 PM | invinciblemutant | that sounds interesting
|
| 08:11:46 PM | zorin_soon | hey, maybe I AM lucky at that, NO CATS!
|
| 08:11:58 PM | mastermindzh | you are zorin_soon
|
| 08:11:59 PM | mastermindzh | you are
|
| 08:12:00 PM | mastermindzh | ..
|
| 08:12:01 PM | mastermindzh | :P
|
| 08:12:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | invinciblemutant, no way to test it, I'm stuck with 8MB of graphic memory until I can find drivers to upgrade it.
|
| 08:12:33 PM | mastermindzh | you could try it on windows first Tennessee_Frank
|
| 08:12:42 PM | mastermindzh | doesn't seem there is a linux driver btw
|
| 08:12:46 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: i thought you have that installed on windows
|
| 08:12:54 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Yes, it'll use system RAM but I'm going to bump it up to 1.5GB so moving up to 244MB will be nothing and will probably help videos run smoother.
|
| 08:13:12 PM | invinciblemutant | as upgrading display shadow memory is a BIOS setting
|
| 08:13:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Nope, first thing I did was put Ubuntu/GNOME onto the little Acer. I totally HATE Windows, I'd not run it on a bet.
|
| 08:13:44 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: the max the netbook can take is 1.5g if i am not mistaken
|
| 08:13:45 PM | mastermindzh | hehe Tennessee_Frank for how many months have you been using linux now?
|
| 08:13:53 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: and i have already done that before
|
| 08:14:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Yep, because they saw fit to hard solder 512MB to the mother board, LOL
|
| 08:14:31 PM | mastermindzh | have you tried just sticking in a 2gb stick?
|
| 08:14:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I've been using Linux for probably 8 or 9 months, Mac OS-X before that for 11 years.
|
| 08:14:38 PM | mastermindzh | it might pick it up anyways
|
| 08:14:40 PM | RobbieF | just saw Erika and Lionel out and going to grab a drink before I get started on post show stuff... I'm here, but sorry I am behind in the chat.
|
| 08:15:10 PM | invinciblemutant | mastermindzh: i think the chipset does not >2gb
|
| 08:15:15 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Don't have a 2GB stick to try and from what I've read if you do put a 2GB stick in the single slot it shows too much memory and it won't run.
|
| 08:15:36 PM | invinciblemutant | and it has 512 onboard, and there is no ram with 1.5gb on the market..lol
|
| 08:15:45 PM | mastermindzh | ah, was asking because my eee pc says it's max is 2gb as well
|
| 08:15:52 PM | mastermindzh | but it can use 4gb happily :)
|
| 08:15:56 PM | invinciblemutant | it wastes 512mb mastermindzh of ram quota given by the chipset
|
| 08:16:08 PM | Tennessee_Frank | The chip set will do 2GB but because 512 is hard soldered and they don't make a 1.5GB DDR2 you're stuck at 1.5GB total.
|
| 08:16:32 PM | invinciblemutant | really? mastermindzh
|
| 08:16:46 PM | mastermindzh | yep, but in my case others have done it as well with the same model
|
| 08:17:06 PM | invinciblemutant | have you check the system that it takes up to 4gb or trimmed down to 2gb on the system
|
| 08:17:12 PM | zorin_soon | I have an HP netbook 210-1032CL one DIMM slot 2GB max but I will try a 4GB DIMM soon to see what happens
|
| 08:17:12 PM | RobbieF | hey gang
|
| 08:17:15 PM | RobbieF | how was the show?
|
| 08:17:27 PM | mastermindzh | yep invinciblemutant , I loaded it up till 3gb ;)
|
| 08:17:30 PM | invinciblemutant | hey RobbieF
|
| 08:17:31 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Show was pretty good RobbieF.
|
| 08:17:33 PM | mastermindzh | great RobbieF
|
| 08:17:47 PM | zorin_soon | good show, very informative
|
| 08:17:53 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: always good
|
| 08:17:55 PM | RobbieF | glad to hear it
|
| 08:18:24 PM | _Jot_ | the show was very shiny
|
| 08:18:26 PM | zorin_soon | hacking hardware is ALWAYS interesting
|
| 08:18:46 PM | invinciblemutant | I find raspberry pi too slow
|
| 08:19:02 PM | mastermindzh | depends on what you use it for invinciblemutant ;)
|
| 08:19:02 PM | invinciblemutant | off topic, sorry
|
| 08:19:04 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Speaking of "Hacking Hardware", back to my Acer Aspire and getting the graphics memory up from it's current 8MB to 244MB.
|
| 08:19:22 PM | invinciblemutant | to be that is firmware upgrade
|
| 08:19:34 PM | Tennessee_Frank | There has to be some app or something I can install to boost graphics memory
|
| 08:19:42 PM | invinciblemutant | mastermindzh: you have a unit of pi too?
|
| 08:19:51 PM | mastermindzh | I have multiple, yes :)
|
| 08:20:03 PM | robgor | hey robbief u still around
|
| 08:20:13 PM | mastermindzh | I even use one with the motorola phone dock as a laptop sometimes :)
|
| 08:20:15 PM | Tennessee_Frank | "after I installed the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile (Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family) - driver version 6.14.10.4926 - the available graphics memory went from 8MB to 224MB!"
|
| 08:20:23 PM | zorin_soon | Tennessee_Frank I would suggest installing a 2 or 4 GB DIMM to see what happens; buy an approved DIMM from Ebay or borrow one from a local PC shop to test it
|
| 08:20:35 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Looks like a Driver upgrade but the one he did was for Windows XP, I need one for Ubuntu 13.10.
|
| 08:20:35 PM | zorin_soon | you never know, it just might work
|
| 08:21:07 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I've read what happens, the Netbook doesn't work with 2.5GB of RAM,LOL
|
| 08:21:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Mother Board won't support it so you're stuck with 1.5GB.
|
| 08:21:31 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: you tested that?
|
| 08:21:43 PM | RobbieF | yes robgor I am here, trying my best to keep an eye on here
|
| 08:21:53 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I don't need to, others have installed a 2GB DDR2 RAM and it didn't work.
|
| 08:22:01 PM | Tennessee_Frank | brb
|
| 08:22:04 PM | zorin_soon | doesn't work under Windows, doesn't work under Linux, or won't even POST?
|
| 08:22:06 PM | RobbieF | _Jot_ - appreciate the firefly reference, 1,000 viewer points.
|
| 08:22:10 PM | RobbieF | ;)

|
| 08:22:29 PM | robgor | ah ok how do you private chat again?
|
| 08:22:40 PM | RobbieF | type: /msg robbief hello
|
| 08:22:55 PM | RobbieF | or double click my name anywhere you see it
|
| 08:23:55 PM | mastermindzh | well guys I'm off :)
|
| 08:24:08 PM | zorin_soon | adios
|
| 08:24:09 PM | RobbieF | night mastermind-zero-hour
|
| 08:24:11 PM | RobbieF | ;)
|
| 08:24:12 PM | mastermindzh | Going to test out the switch I got this afternoon :)
|
| 08:24:22 PM | RobbieF | Lights on, lights off. Works!
|
| 08:24:28 PM | Tennessee_Frank | http://www.theregister.co.uk/Print/2009/02/19/aa1_memory_upgrade/
|
| 08:24:34 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Max is 1.5GB.
|
| 08:24:34 PM | zorin_soon | don't switch! keep using Linux!
|
| 08:24:47 PM | invinciblemutant | bye mastermindzh
|
| 08:24:57 PM | mastermindzh | it's a special kind of switch RobbieF, it has 3 holes to connect to the pi :)
|
| 08:25:05 PM | mastermindzh | so cya
|
| 08:25:05 PM | mastermindzh | :D
|
| 08:25:17 PM | RobbieF | use the b and c hole. I hear it's best to stay away from a holes.
|
| 08:25:18 PM | Tennessee_Frank | From what I've read under Windows or Linux if you install a 2GB stick of RAM in the slot the AAO won't even POST because it now has too much RAM
|
| 08:25:20 PM | zorin_soon | adios again
|
| 08:25:29 PM | Tennessee_Frank | C ya' Mastermindzh
|
| 08:25:34 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: i probably tested that before
|
| 08:26:44 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I have a 1GB stick on order, it's 1Rx16 so it'll work. I had a 2Rx16 but being 2R it'd be slower then the proper 1R RAM that it's suppose to have.
|
| 08:27:27 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Since you have to pull the entire dang Netbook totally apart to get to the RAM slot I wanted to do it right the first time and not have to go back in if the RAM I have didn't work.
|
| 08:28:01 PM | invinciblemutant | test the machine before putting all thing together
|
| 08:28:19 PM | invinciblemutant | make sure you don't get short-circuit having dangling parts running on power
|
| 08:28:24 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I really just want to allocate more graphic memory to to the graphics processor and need to find Drivers that'll do it under Ubuntu
|
| 08:28:54 PM | invinciblemutant | i remember RobbieF told me that that the netbook is just not good for HD videos
|
| 08:28:55 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I don't think it'll run being all torn apart, I'll have to reassemble everything first before I can test it.
|
| 08:29:15 PM | invinciblemutant | Tennessee_Frank: I never do that...
|
| 08:29:47 PM | invinciblemutant | and it is not designed to be upgrade, you have to take out the keyboard, the bottom, main board...almost everything apart just to upgrade the memory
|
| 08:30:04 PM | invinciblemutant | so you will find my point testing them dangling...
|
| 08:30:22 PM | invinciblemutant | but beware of short-circuit that my permanently kill the network
|
| 08:30:23 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Yep, it's a total PITA, you basically have to pull the Mother Board out of the Netbook to install the RAM. Stupid design.
|
| 08:31:16 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I'm going to upgrade the SSD too so I'll not have an Op System to even start the Netbook up with until I get it all back together and install Ubuntu/GNOME back onto it. It's going to be Do or Die basically.
|
| 08:32:08 PM | invinciblemutant | there is not carom on the aao you have to install it on a pc before moving the ssd to the ago
|
| 08:32:10 PM | invinciblemutant | aao
|
| 08:32:25 PM | Tennessee_Frank | USB install,
|
| 08:32:33 PM | zorin_soon | few netbooks handle even 720p video well; you might want to sell / trade it for something better suited todisplaying HD video
|
| 08:32:33 PM | invinciblemutant | i suffered before not having an ext dvdrom
|
| 08:33:21 PM | Tennessee_Frank | It works ok with YouTube and other videos, I just figured if it be an easy Driver upgrade then why not move from 8MB to 244MB.
|
| 08:33:29 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: i wanted to use it as a media server, i took RobbieF advice not to, i didn't even try
|
| 08:33:40 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I don't have a problem with it now, it's just More is Better for Video IMHO.
|
| 08:34:10 PM | invinciblemutant | not sure the video chip is a HD ready chip
|
| 08:34:35 PM | invinciblemutant | otherwise, it will depend on software to decode
|
| 08:34:45 PM | invinciblemutant | atom isn't design for decoding software
|
| 08:34:49 PM | invinciblemutant | designed
|
| 08:34:56 PM | zorin_soon | my HP Mini struggles with 720p youtube videos, but I found a chip online I can install to improve the video playback
|
| 08:35:21 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: really? external hd video card?
|
| 08:35:38 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: or to be soldered on?
|
| 08:36:09 PM | Tennessee_Frank | I guess I'll not worry too much about it. I've watched YouTube vids with the slow SSD and 1GB of RAM, should work even better once I install a faster SSD and another 512Mb of RAM. I just really wanted to update the Drivers if I could.
|
| 08:36:12 PM | zorin_soon | no, an internal card which plugs in to provide HD video playback, looking for the bookmark now
|
| 08:36:42 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Not like I'll watch a lot of videos on an 8.9" screen anyway, LOL
|
| 08:36:59 PM | zorin_soon | IIRC, about $50 US on Ebay for the card
|
| 08:36:59 PM | invinciblemutant | to minipci?
|
| 08:37:09 PM | zorin_soon | yes, miniPCI
|
| 08:37:11 PM | Tennessee_Frank | Oh well, need to change out the gauze on my tooth, or at least where the tooth use to be. I'll see ya'll later. Take care.
|
| 08:38:02 PM | zorin_soon | adios Tennessee_Frank
|
| 08:39:05 PM | zorin_soon | Tennessee_Frank you might want to read this http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/04/08/netbook-face-off-acer-aspire-one-versus-hp-mini-1000/
|
| 08:39:08 PM | invinciblemutant | i don't find it
|
| 08:39:14 PM | zorin_soon | nothing you don't already know...
|
| 08:39:37 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: tennessee_frank has left
|
| 08:40:10 PM | zorin_soon | I know; I said goodbye, but posted that in case he returns soon for some reason
|
| 08:40:29 PM | zorin_soon | I'm a Red Sox fan, an eternal optimist... :D
|
| 08:41:12 PM | robgor | seya guys
|
| 08:42:05 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant check out this link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/
|
| 08:42:32 PM | zorin_soon | i can add that Broadcom HD card to my HP 210...
|
| 08:43:31 PM | zorin_soon | more info: Broadcom BCM70012 Crystal HD accelerator
|
| 08:43:31 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: tested on linux?
|
| 08:43:47 PM | invinciblemutant | $12 on ebay
|
| 08:44:35 PM | zorin_soon | no idea; my girlftiend is still learning how to use Windows XP, and no, I am NOT joking about that, she has a learning disability
|
| 08:45:12 PM | RobbieF | zorin_soon - http://www.category5.tv/episodes/329.php/11:11
|
| 08:45:31 PM | zorin_soon | thanks for the link RobbieF...
|
| 08:46:23 PM | invinciblemutant | about the hp mini, my friend use to make fun of it, it is not hp, it is in fact dy brand
|
| 08:46:51 PM | zorin_soon | trust me RobbieF, she'll be using Zorin 6.4 SOON!
|
| 08:46:55 PM | invinciblemutant | as you flip the screen on, i will see dy instead of hp
|
| 08:47:37 PM | RobbieF | great
|
| 08:47:51 PM | RobbieF | :)
|
| 08:48:00 PM | RobbieF | and now I get the nick :)
|
| 08:48:16 PM | zorin_soon | ??? what screen? It natively starts a Linux pre-boot environment to play music or video or do social networking
|
| 08:48:58 PM | zorin_soon | although I disabled that in the CMOS settings so I could boot it with Ubuntu 10.04.4 on a USB stick
|
| 08:49:52 PM | zorin_soon | which allowed me to test the HDD and other hardware without actually loading windoze
|
| 08:50:36 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: http://images03.olx.in/ui/17/92/63/1387249770_578378963_2-Pictures-of--Hp-mini-110-4tu.jpg
|
| 08:51:06 PM | zorin_soon | the original HDD has Win7 Starter Edition, but I swapped it to install an XP HDD because that is what she is accustomed to
|
| 08:51:40 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant: thanks for that link; will check it now...
|
| 08:52:20 PM | invinciblemutant | where can we get this dy brand ?
|
| 08:52:43 PM | zorin_soon | Ok, NOW I get the joke; mine does NOT have ANY branding on the lid
|
| 08:53:13 PM | zorin_soon | which is why I didn't catch on earlier
|
| 08:54:04 PM | invinciblemutant | it is hard to get the joke, the owner of the hp mini didn't get that joke too
|
| 08:54:16 PM | invinciblemutant | we had a good laugh
|
| 08:54:34 PM | zorin_soon | as for me,I'm STILL laughing...
|
| 08:55:21 PM | zorin_soon | RobbieF, any chance you can convince the Qimo for Kids folks to update it?
|
| 08:56:14 PM | zorin_soon | RobbieF might be AKF eating supper
|
| 08:56:14 PM | invinciblemutant | i wish that i can have a mini fitted to a 22/24' inch screen as internet station at home
|
| 08:56:24 PM | invinciblemutant | for my kids
|
| 08:56:47 PM | invinciblemutant | the HD card may be useful
|
| 08:56:51 PM | zorin_soon | I'll stick with my old XPS Gen2, which is overkill for my needs
|
| 08:57:18 PM | invinciblemutant | i have only linux for my family members
|
| 08:57:30 PM | zorin_soon | for $12, I'm willing to take my chances on that card
|
| 08:57:35 PM | invinciblemutant | my wife used to complain, now she complains no more
|
| 08:58:10 PM | zorin_soon | I still fix computers for friends and family, so I have to keep a Windows box or I won't know how to fix it
|
| 08:58:31 PM | invinciblemutant | as most windows users will install a lot of plugins so that they have access to dramas and movies for free..
|
| 08:58:51 PM | invinciblemutant | on ubuntu, we don't have that...that saves her from installing malware
|
| 08:59:04 PM | RobbieF | sorry not eating yet no... doing the post show files.
|
| 08:59:09 PM | zorin_soon | Windows is a JOKE / JUNK OS; I don't know how a serious computer user can tolerate it
|
| 09:00:03 PM | zorin_soon | just speculating RobbieF, I was HOPING you were eating supper, to keep your energy levels high
|
| 09:00:13 PM | invinciblemutant | she is now using my acer travelmate with ubuntu
|
| 09:00:40 PM | zorin_soon | I'm not OLD, but I don't have the energy I had when I was your age
|
| 09:00:56 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: I am not to that extreme, i learn computer from there...
|
| 09:01:19 PM | invinciblemutant | it had given me a lot of hard time in which I also learned
|
| 09:01:40 PM | zorin_soon | I keep ubuntu 10.04 LTS on USB to disinfect "broken" Windows rigs
|
| 09:01:54 PM | invinciblemutant | virus problem is infamous on win
|
| 09:02:07 PM | invinciblemutant | clamav?
|
| 09:02:54 PM | invinciblemutant | i used to work as a technician...virus cleaning was my daily job....
|
| 09:02:59 PM | zorin_soon | yes, NOT a Windoze fanboy, I began using Linux in 1999 and even though I STILL don't know much about Linux, I don't HAVE to use Windows
|
| 09:03:00 PM | invinciblemutant | terrible ...
|
| 09:03:35 PM | zorin_soon | ClamAV isn't highly rated these days, but better than nothing
|
| 09:04:08 PM | invinciblemutant | i started my first linux with redhat 5/6
|
| 09:04:12 PM | invinciblemutant | i really remember now
|
| 09:04:20 PM | invinciblemutant | i can't really remember now
|
| 09:05:12 PM | zorin_soon | same here; RH 5 in 1999, then tried Storm Linux in 2000, then began experimenting with Mandrake and MANY others
|
| 09:05:26 PM | invinciblemutant | yea...mandrake...
|
| 09:05:34 PM | invinciblemutant | was popular that time
|
| 09:06:07 PM | zorin_soon | Mandrake, Connectiva, Mandriva, PCLOS, I'm a KDE fan over Gnome
|
| 09:06:12 PM | invinciblemutant | setup a home file server plus NAT internet sharing...
|
| 09:06:29 PM | invinciblemutant | wifi was expensive, couldn't afford
|
| 09:06:46 PM | zorin_soon | no server here yet, but I'm moving at the end of the month and then I can run WILD!
|
| 09:07:42 PM | zorin_soon | I have NO "disposable" income, which forces me to find NO-COST solutions to my problems
|
| 09:09:10 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant: where are you located? I'm in southern California, halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
|
| 09:17:03 PM | zorin_soon | OK, it seems that invinciblemutant has left the building...
|
| 09:20:09 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: i was disconnected
|
| 09:20:21 PM | invinciblemutant | zorin_soon: i am in malaysia now
|
| 09:20:39 PM | invinciblemutant | there is one thing that i havent solved on my acer travel mate
|
| 09:20:41 PM | zorin_soon | yes, I realize that, I didn't think you simply quit without signing out
|
| 09:20:56 PM | RobbieF | Files are prepped and transcoders are initiating. That's my cue!
|
| 09:20:58 PM | zorin_soon | what is the problem?
|
| 09:20:59 PM | RobbieF | Have a great night everyone.
|
| 09:21:02 PM | RobbieF | Thank you for joining us.
|
| 09:21:11 PM | zorin_soon | thank you RobbieF!
|
| 09:21:12 PM | invinciblemutant | the usb keyboard does not wake it up from sleep
|
| 09:21:36 PM | invinciblemutant | thanks RobbieF for the great show
|
| 09:21:49 PM | zorin_soon | invinciblemutant: have you checked the CMOS settings?
|
| 09:22:05 PM | invinciblemutant | i think there is nothing i can set in bios
|
| 09:22:12 PM | invinciblemutant | just feel upset with it
|
| 09:22:39 PM | invinciblemutant | i wish to flash the bios if there is one that wakes by usb
|
| 09:22:42 PM | zorin_soon | to be blunt, I've never been happy with sleep mode, because it is unreliable,,, hibernate seems more reliable
|
| 09:23:18 PM | invinciblemutant | it is my internet station at home
|
| 09:23:28 PM | invinciblemutant | my wife uses it, to save power...it is wise
|
| 09:24:04 PM | zorin_soon | sometimes NOTHING will activate "sleeping" hardware; you might want to try hibernating the system instead
|
