07:07:51 PMrevdjenk Christa: nice try...we know it was RobbieF
07:08:01 PM_Jot_ it's okay Christa, we know RobbieF just is on Christa time
07:08:07 PMrevdjenk hee hee
07:08:31 PM_Jot_ By the way, if you want to support the show, the campaign for the new studio is ending, so please go to http://cat5.tv/studio
07:08:45 PM_Jot_ and summer is coming, so go buy some nice shirts for the nice weather at http://shop.category5.tv

07:11:28 PMDave-Maydew has anyone tried using Pipelight for Netflix under Ubuntu?
07:11:31 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, summer is coming! Everybody needs shirts! I'd buy some (as soon as I have money)
07:11:35 PMrevdjenk Hillary: you are up in the sky booth?
07:11:48 PMHillary yeeee
07:12:33 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: casting the tab through my chromecast... better color than on youtube
07:13:05 PM_Jot_ I wish I could see those graphics, Christa always makes excellent works
07:13:27 PMrevdjenk roh KOOO... just like RobbieF bee tah
07:13:33 PM_Jot_ Oh, for the roku models, http://cat5.tv/roku
07:14:17 PMEric1212 Is that the correct link?
07:14:18 PMDave-Maydew How many Roku boxes did he say?
07:14:23 PM_Jot_ 4 models
07:14:23 PMEric1212 It goes to baldnerd site
07:14:23 PMrevdjenk three
07:14:29 PMDave-Maydew there's 4 in the UK
07:14:47 PM_Jot_ on the bald nerd site (which is RobbieF's site) there is a link to click for buying them :)
07:15:07 PMDave-Maydew well, Streaming Stick and then the 1, 2 & 3
07:15:10 PMEric1212 Oh I see
07:15:21 PMEric1212 It wasn't showing up due to a Chrome Extension I had installed
07:15:28 PMEric1212 working now, thanks _Jot_
07:15:35 PM_Jot_ great! Glad you got it solved
07:15:43 PM_Jot_ sometimes browsers can be difficult indeed
07:16:46 PMrevdjenk _Jot_: you can tell people that Chromecast will work if you cast the tab... using the chromecast icon in the vid does not work
07:16:51 PM_Jot_ Sorry RobbieF, your 320x240 pictures from the early episode just aren't good enough :)
07:17:00 PM_Jot_ revdjenk, you just did :)
07:17:22 PMrevdjenk hee hee
07:17:40 PMrevdjenk I'm not here every week
07:17:48 PMGuest_7156 still waiting for google to release chromecast in the uk
07:18:23 PM_Jot_ I wonder if there is an effect to make RobbieF look good
07:18:38 PMrevdjenk Guest_7156: it is a useful gadget... I having tried Koush's AllCast, but heard it gives even more capability
07:18:59 PMrevdjenk *haven't
07:19:13 PMDennis_Kelley1 brb
07:20:50 PM_Jot_ I think it's nice to see Christa using a digital drawing tablet, you don't often see people use them
07:23:07 PMGuest_7156 do drawing tablets work with gimp including pressure
07:23:20 PMSWL_Brasil is possible to show the 2 monitors simultaneously?
07:23:31 PM_Jot_ aha, easy to go overboard. I better buy some liferafts or something
07:25:27 PMrevdjenk _Jot_: walks the plank?
07:25:30 PM_Jot_ SWL_Brasil, I can't easily find if wirecast can do that
07:27:59 PMDave-Maydew Red for the color blind users, is brown
07:28:20 PMDave-Maydew but then, that's no help :-S
07:28:38 PM_Jot_ the thing she is holding in her right hand, at the left of the screen seems red on my screen
07:29:01 PMDave-Maydew I'm colour blind _Jot_
07:29:35 PM_Jot_ that's why I figured I'd name it, sometimes that helps too
07:29:44 PMDave-Maydew I leave any photo editing to my friend
07:29:46 PMrevdjenk Dave-Maydew: it is kind of salmon color, not a whole red
07:30:08 PMrevdjenk well, on my screen, anyway
07:30:13 PMDave-Maydew lol
07:30:22 PM_Jot_ yeah, if they edit it then it changes colour :)
07:30:34 PMDave-Maydew I have issues seeing red, shades of green and blue
07:31:10 PM_Jot_ unfortunatly most monitors are very imprecise as well, which is one of the big disadvantages of the modern monitors as opposed to the old tubes
07:31:17 PMDave-Maydew on some films, all I see is monochrome
07:32:08 PMDave-Maydew I'm just a strange person
07:32:11 PMDave-Maydew lol
07:32:34 PM_Jot_ I don't know about monochrome, but sometimes I see something and it's only black and white and no colours anywhere
07:33:08 PMDave-Maydew that's what I see sometimes
07:33:13 PMDave-Maydew just me being PC
07:33:14 PMDave-Maydew lol
07:33:23 PMDave-Maydew Black & White is what I meant
07:33:28 PM_Jot_ ah :)
07:33:51 PM_Jot_ of course they used to record in black and white, even when it was possible to record in colour, because it was cheaper
07:33:55 PMDave-Maydew Reel to Reel.... ah quality audio
07:34:09 PMrevdjenk we lived down the street from a whole family who were colorblind. We would help them make sure they had the correct lights in order for Christmas!
07:34:24 PMSWL_Brasil rather, what to do with a very bright picture?
07:34:37 PMDave-Maydew I like to take photo's in B & W
07:34:59 PM_Jot_ I think there are a lot of people who are colourblind in traffic, many people don't seem to know the difference between red and green :)
07:35:31 PM_Jot_ photos in black and white can be nice, it can add a whole dimension to the subject and make it more intense
07:35:42 PMDave-Maydew I'm going away for 5 days from March 27th, and I'll be taking photo's and video and blogging them
07:35:58 PM_Jot_ Let us know where so we can follow it :)

07:36:43 PMDave-Maydew and I'll be tweeting too
07:36:55 PMDave-Maydew just look for dave_maydew
07:37:05 PMrevdjenk hee heehee
07:37:15 PM_Jot_ won't that be distracting for those trying to use their radios, you running around going 'tweet tweet' in their ear all the time?

07:39:13 PMFBTV-Gunnar-Swed What happened with the sound?

07:40:25 PMHillary still?
07:40:26 PM_Jot_ Hillary, it was a loose micorphone, probably yours since Christa and RobbieF are clear

07:47:44 PMDave-Maydew a lot of rustling
07:47:52 PM_Jot_ barely can understand Christa
07:47:53 PMDave-Maydew sounds like lose connector

08:01:54 PMDave-Maydew They should all go Linux
08:01:58 PMrevdjenk I helped someone this week leave XP for Linux!
08:02:16 PMSWL_Brasil the black shirt is nice
08:02:22 PMDave-Maydew 11% already say they're going Linux
08:02:31 PMDave-Maydew that'll put Linux on the map
08:02:40 PM_Jot_ don't forget to tell them about category5, which has a lot of information about leaving XP, and how to use linux, especially in the older episodes
08:03:01 PMrevdjenk they have "me" _Jot_
08:03:12 PMSWL_Brasil XPiritual
08:03:22 PM_Jot_ You can find all the shirts in the shop at http://shop.category5.tv and they have pictures too so that's really nice if you want to see them
08:03:25 PMrevdjenk aren't the bank atm's embedded, which is handled differently?
08:03:26 PMDave-Maydew Once our local Linux User Group is up and running, Cat5.tv will be promoted to the hilt
08:03:28 PM_Jot_ revdjenk, so you watch all the shows :)
08:03:58 PM_Jot_ atms use all kinds of operating systems, from OS/2 to XP to linux to others
08:04:07 PM_Jot_ usually embedded, but not always
08:04:22 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: and the machines at your supermarket, where you swipe your credit card!
08:05:08 PMrevdjenk I like the grey v-neck RobbieF is wearing
08:05:18 PMDennis_Kelley1 No one puts Hillary in a corner!

08:08:16 PMHillary but of course!
08:08:17 PMDave-Maydew I'm adding to the pages almost daily
08:09:12 PMinvinciblemutant what is the bps
08:09:14 PMinvinciblemutant bsp
08:09:15 PMDave-Maydew and will be blogging my Ham Radio 5 day trip from March 27th, where 2 of us will be running Linux powered laptops connected to our radios
08:09:28 PMDennis_Kelley1 I am out See ya alll!
08:09:33 PM_Jot_ bsp is back stage pass, normally that's a camera in the corner, which is the same as the view you got just before the show started
08:10:14 PM_Jot_ the BSP computer broke, and RobbieF got a replacement, but he hasn't had the time to set it up yet, which is why that stream isn't working yet, even if the camera still is working just fine :)
08:10:18 PMrevdjenk bye Dennis_Kelley
08:10:57 PM_Jot_ so buy some shirts and other things, so RobbieF can build a new studio and take the time to set up everything properly for once :)
08:11:53 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: are you using passwordbox? if so, how is it working?
08:15:14 PMChrista Alright folks! I gotta jet out. Thanks for putting up with me and my lateness!
08:15:32 PM_Jot_ next week same Christa-time, same Christa-Channel?
08:15:40 PM_Jot_ and thanks for being there Christa!
08:15:51 PMJosh___ Cheers chris :)
08:15:57 PMJosh___ Was a good show tonight!
08:16:14 PM_Jot_ yeah, it was interesting, except the 5 minutes or so we only got static
08:16:29 PMJosh___ Yeah that was its only fault
08:16:40 PMrevdjenk Christa: nice tutorial...thanks!
08:16:58 PM_Jot_ most annoying for them too I bet was that at first it was just fine and then later it broke
08:17:11 PMABQTKY DAVE M. I'm trying to send a friend over to your blog. I'll have to pester, but I'll get him to check you guys out. He's KC5AKQ in Albuquerque, NM...USA (we always have to specify that USA part)
08:18:26 PMDave-Maydew No problem
08:18:30 PM_Jot_ oh, they are going to sell chromecast here too, except its going to be a bit more expensive, $50 instead of $35
08:18:38 PMDave-Maydew More Linux and Hams!!
08:18:45 PMDave-Maydew My call is M0DCM
08:18:47 PMDave-Maydew :-)
08:19:31 PMABQTKY DAVE M. he uses Kubuntu. I don't think he knows why that distro, but he likes it!
08:19:54 PMrevdjenk _Jot_: saw that price hike, too. some places are heading for the $30 range here.
08:20:13 PMDave-Maydew I chose Ubuntu as I liked the Unity desktop, but I know there's a few that like the KDE GUI
08:20:14 PM_Jot_ apparently you can even buy it for $25, because it will be replaced with a different model soon
08:20:23 PMDave-Maydew and others that like Mint
08:21:48 PMrevdjenk I've used Mint since 2008 and version 4
08:21:57 PMDave-Maydew ABQTKY I'll be running a FT-817ND over the 5 days, with both a 10m long vertical and a dipole
08:22:53 PMDave-Maydew revdjenk, this is why I like Linux for, the choice of flavours... distro's is immense
08:23:03 PMABQTKY DAVE M. you like the UNITY desktop in Ubuntu? Well, over on your side of the pond people used to like Benny Hill, too. I don't know what that proves, but it's just 'unusual'.
08:23:23 PMrevdjenk reading a very insteresting take on flight MH370 from a pilot who thinks there may have been a fire ... as he outlines the story, it all makes sense... see Dan McDermott's post on G+
08:23:34 PMrevdjenk Dave-Maydew: yes!
08:23:43 PMDave-Maydew ABQTKY I'm more Monty Python
08:24:05 PMrevdjenk ABQTKY: it was Yakity Sax we liked...
08:24:24 PMABQTKY Dave I just pasted some of that techie stuff into an email I'm sending over to him. Ah, Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail! My favorite was the Black Knight!
08:24:41 PM_Jot_ it's but a scratch!
