07:07:38 PMinvinciblemutant TheChrista: you should bring your along your macbook for comparison
07:07:39 PMIMTech5 LOL!
07:07:40 PM_Jot_ for the gimp: http://gimp.org or your repository
07:08:37 PM_Jot_ for windows: http://nightly.darkrefraction.com/gimp/
07:09:25 PMinvinciblemutant is it on macport?
07:09:31 PMinvinciblemutant perhaps it is on macport
07:10:09 PM_Jot_ there appear downloads on the gimp.org website too, for both windows and mac, so not sure why RobbieF wants us to go to other sites
07:10:27 PMinvinciblemutant yea
07:10:36 PMinvinciblemutant if you are using macport, it is there on macport too
07:10:46 PMinvinciblemutant www.macports.org for mac users
07:11:00 PMinvinciblemutant you can run linux ports on your mac
07:11:28 PMinvinciblemutant on your mac type: sudo port install gimp
07:11:34 PMinvinciblemutant after installing macports
07:15:50 PMmaxwell6307 its frozen
07:16:04 PMDennis_Kelley does anyone know how dave maydew is doing?
07:16:06 PM_Jot_ what is, maxwell?
07:16:29 PMinvinciblemutant the dots are too small to see when zoomout
07:16:34 PMmaxwell6307 video froze for a second, its ok now
07:17:21 PM_Jot_ VLC does that a lot, youtube not so much, weird thing is youtube download later will be fine and not show any delay
07:17:54 PMkiwitux Stream has stopped here
07:18:17 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, I thought you'd go out right now and take pictures of rocks, that would have been an interesting experiment :)
07:22:37 PMJaePea hi all
07:22:51 PM_Jot_ hey JaePea
07:24:10 PMIMTech5 Hi JaePea
07:28:11 PMIMTech5 Come on Youtube...
07:28:23 PMJaePea is show freezing for others
07:28:25 PM_Jot_ yeah, that froze for me too this time :)
07:28:29 PMDennis_Kelley yep
07:28:32 PMIMTech5 Yes...
07:28:33 PMkeckeckec back on now...
07:28:34 PMsprintcowboy froze here too
07:29:00 PMkeckeckec VLC stopped too
07:29:03 PM_Jot_ oh, refreshing says youtube has technical difficulties. Good news, the VLC link works fine
07:30:16 PMIMTech5 Trying VLC now...
07:30:40 PM_Jot_ youtube just came back fortunatly
07:30:46 PMinvinciblemutant perhaps robbief has exceeded the quota
07:30:53 PMDennis_Kelley i restarted youtube and it is working
07:30:59 PM_Jot_ it's still way behind thoug,h on youtube for me
07:31:09 PMmaxwell6307 me too
07:31:19 PMkeckeckec VLC is back on too
07:31:21 PMIMTech5 Missed some of the demo :(
07:31:30 PMDennis_Kelley there needs to be a Tie Fighter in there somewhere
07:31:45 PM_Jot_ fortunatly you can always watch it later on category5.tv and download many episodes, down to season 3 or so at the moment
07:32:05 PMIMTech5 Yep! :)
07:32:48 PM_Jot_ so for those reading this and thinking what are they talking about, well, you missed it. Watch live sometime :)
07:33:59 PM_Jot_ TheChrista, the problem is they get too much information, so they can't use the information they have now, and missed the attacks that happened that they did have information about, plus they have to act on stuff they never would act on otherwise, just in case.
07:36:30 PM_Jot_ I should make an app and send it to RobbieF and TheChrista and see who buys the most :)
07:37:02 PMTheChrista Haha, you can try Jot...I'm one of those ppl who won't buy anything through an app
07:37:21 PM_Jot_ For the password system: http://cat5.tv/password (check it out)

08:04:36 PMJaePea bye guys and gals
08:04:41 PM_Jot_ bye JaePea
08:04:49 PM_Jot_ I am not sure she can invinciblemutant :)
08:05:16 PMinvinciblemutant if she cant, I would think gimp s too hard for general audience
08:05:35 PM_Jot_ I mean she is capable, but its not photoshop :)
08:05:44 PMinvinciblemutant then why showing something that even a pro cant handle
08:06:08 PMABQTKY Next episode in less than 167 hours!!

08:06:28 PMDennis_Kelley Great show TheChrista
08:07:21 PM_Jot_ I think I'd grow bored and fall asleep way before 167 hours are up waiting for a new show :)
08:08:09 PMinvinciblemutant _Jot_: time flies

08:09:34 PMinvinciblemutant thanks _Jot_
08:09:35 PMinvinciblemutant bye
08:11:11 PMRobbieF :)
08:13:55 PM_Jot_ hey RobbieF, nice show
08:14:03 PMRobbieF Thanks _Jot_ - hope you had fun
08:14:58 PM_Jot_ yes, I did! I put in some marks, at the appropriate time, only the radio didn't have audio so that I'm not entirely sure about if it was to the second
08:15:04 PMRobbieF :) Thanks.
08:15:13 PMRobbieF what? Radio was dead air?!
08:15:38 PM_Jot_ radio was fine, but the microphones were on during the leader-thing so I didn't hear that start
08:15:46 PMRobbieF ah
08:15:46 PMinvinciblemutant how to get midori working with youtube
08:15:52 PMrobgor robbief wont be dealing with large CAD files I dont think and yes it will be over gigabit network. Dont really want to go with an off the shelf like drobo as I had a ReadyNAS device and that was very slow. Plus for the price they are asking I could build a nice i5 system
08:16:18 PMRobbieF I'd say any decent redundant solution will do nicely then robgor, to be honest.
08:16:36 PMRobbieF And make sure you have a backup of the array itself (or at least, the stuff that you can't lose)
08:16:51 PMRobbieF Think: Redundancy will help if a drive crashes. Backups (off-site) will help if we have a fire.
08:16:56 PMrobgor yeah with my freenas I get about 40mbytes transfer
08:17:41 PM_Jot_ yeah, most NAS-systems, even if they come with gigabit, often even can't get a 10mbit connection full with data, because their processors often are too slow
08:18:05 PMrobgor yeah, that why I thought of going a NAS or FileServer, have the data in one place and will be easier to backup instead of backing up two machines
08:18:19 PMRobbieF absolutely
08:18:37 PMRobbieF we even have our /home/Documents and /home/Music and /home/Pictures and /home/Videos mounted to server shares!
08:19:31 PMRobbieF on the server I have ./Documents/Robbie and ./Documents/Bekah ... each of our computers mount our own folder respectively, and I backup ./Documents on the server every 1 minute (it scans for any changes and immediately syncs them with our offsite backup - a Pogoplug)
08:19:38 PMrobgor Jot though the ReadyNAS is fairly only, only had 256mb RAM not sure what the Processor was and the speed
08:21:10 PM_Jot_ its why I went with unraid, because even though it still can be slower, you still get the speed of one harddisk while reading
08:21:32 PMrobgor the one benefit these of the shelf NAS has is power usage very low
08:22:47 PM_Jot_ yeah, differences used to be very big with that, but if you build a new system, you can get an apu or something and use almost nothing as well
08:23:10 PM_Jot_ and if you use a lot of drives, with systems like unraid, it powers down the drives not used after a while, so that doesn't matter a lot either
08:23:31 PMrobgor Jot I got a FreeNAS that is setup using ZFS the one downside of ZFS is that you need 1gig RAM for each TB of storage, though that isnt a problem with mine, I have 16gb RAM in it
08:23:47 PM_Jot_ seriously, the powercompany contacted me because my powerusage suddenly was so low, it was not realistic according to them so they wanted to know why that happened :)
08:24:46 PM_Jot_ that's a lot of ram :) my system has 10 drives in it or so, with a total of 14TB or so, but only 2GB of memory
08:24:59 PMrobgor Jot have you been using someone else's power : lol
08:25:31 PM_Jot_ no, fortunatly not :) I think it helped they fixed the heating, so that probably uses a lot less power, and I disconnected some computers now i don't use them a lot anymore
08:27:33 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF do you find your pogoplug is slow. mine is always processing data on my one drive i have plugged into it.
08:27:48 PMRobbieF No, because I disabled that.
08:27:53 PMRobbieF (multimedia features)
08:28:09 PMRobbieF if you have the multimedia stuff on it will scan and create thumbnails, streamable format videos, etc.
08:28:10 PMDennis_Kelley i will look into that
08:28:13 PMRobbieF I just use it for backup
08:28:20 PMDennis_Kelley oh ok
08:28:30 PMDennis_Kelley brb - got to change computers
08:29:59 PMrobgor Jot my NAS I have 6 drives in it for a total of 8.6TB of available storage, used 2.3TB atm
08:30:48 PM_Jot_ I'm using about 11TB at the moment, I could take 2 drives out, which is about 1.5TB of storage, but oh well :)
08:32:35 PMrobgor Jot transfering a 7.5gig file from my NAS to my Desktop getting around 50MB/sec
08:33:08 PM_Jot_ on my computer I get a bit slower speeds, due to it being an ancient processor :)
08:33:29 PM_Jot_ I tend to get about 30MB/sec, I had the HTPC motherboard in there with an APU, then I would get about 20MB/sec or so at most
08:33:41 PM_Jot_ it's also the first APU they made, so no suprise there either
08:35:01 PMrobgor Jot transfer from my desktop back to my NAS getting 25MB/sec so a fair slowdown
08:36:00 PM_Jot_ oh yeah, reading I get about 80-100MB/sec and verification also about that speed, or up to 150MB/sec
08:36:29 PM_Jot_ for smaller files obviously the speed is a lot less :)
08:37:16 PM_Jot_ also I tend to use teracopy, because I'm on windows and I figure I just want to make sure, when I move stuff, so that takes a bit. That doesn't affect the speed though, but it does affect time
08:40:39 PM_Jot_ now I'm used to the speed, but before I bought a few media-players, which act as NAS because they have harddrives in it, and they were so slow, I just had to try something else cause putting files on there was horrible
08:42:13 PM_Jot_ even playing files from the unraid was too slow to be usable, for those players, which was a disappointment, but confirmed for me I made the right choice :)
08:52:35 PMRobbieF Gotta run guys. Files are going GREAT (I love you, Vimeo) :)
08:52:45 PM_Jot_ too bad for the contents?
08:52:48 PMRobbieF gonna watch Person of Interest with Bekah while the show files upload.
08:52:50 PMRobbieF :)
08:52:53 PMRobbieF then come back and do the notes
08:53:01 PM_Jot_ have a nice time RobbieF, greetings to Ms. Amazing Writer
08:53:04 PMRobbieF Thanks
08:53:07 PMrobgor yeah I use to stream content from my FreeNAS to my Boxee Box and it performs great, this is over wifi streaming Bluray content
08:54:04 PMrobgor but unfortunatly my Boxee Box has died :( Have to look at getting a replacement for it, though wont be getting another Boxee
08:55:01 PM_Jot_ annoying when things die, that's why I got that APU board and made my own htpc, with a case that looks like it belongs in the livingroom with an LCD-display and everything
08:57:46 PMrobgor yeah the Boxee Box the first one it died and couldnt switch it on, got another one under warranty. Unfortunatly the replacement died out of warranty so not sure if its a common problem with them. I took it apart hoping it was fixable but wasnt, found a burn mark on the board :(
08:58:17 PM_Jot_ yeah, could be a design-flaw in them
08:58:27 PM_Jot_ I haven't googled it, but I guess it doesn't really matter
08:58:49 PMrobgor Jot goto go, luch time seya next time
08:58:50 PM_Jot_ there's unfortunatly a lot of stuff that dies due to bad components
08:58:55 PM_Jot_ have a nice lunch robgor
08:59:01 PMrobgor thanks
