|
07:02:04 PM | Straeger | Leap Second!
|
07:02:22 PM | SashaD | I know.... Its all so crazy :) :)
|
07:02:29 PM | JoeInNH | That sound terrible.
|
07:02:35 PM | MaineGeek75 | why not...soon enough there will be robots instead of mothers taking care of babies :P
|
07:02:53 PM | JoeInNH | Let's bathe the child in radiation frmo birth. :(
|
07:03:21 PM | MaineGeek75 | :)
|
07:03:31 PM | JoeInNH | Hi Maine.
|
07:03:38 PM | MaineGeek75 | Hi :)
|
07:03:39 PM | Straeger | Been over a year.
|
07:03:40 PM | JoeInNH | You're just nextdoor
|
07:03:46 PM | DJQuad | if the robots run windows at least they're crash often
|
07:03:46 PM | MaineGeek75 | yup :)
|
07:03:50 PM | SashaD | Hi straeger
|
07:03:53 PM | JoeInNH | Nice state
|
07:03:54 PM | MaineGeek75 | rofl
|
07:04:15 PM | MaineGeek75 | Maine isn't too much different than New Hapshire...just more taxes :P
|
07:04:19 PM | Straeger | Had to finish that Computer Security degree.
|
07:04:21 PM | MaineGeek75 | in Maine that is :P
|
07:04:41 PM | JoeInNH | You have more wilderness than we do.
|
07:04:51 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya up north maybe...
|
07:05:09 PM | MaineGeek75 | i'm more central Maine
|
07:05:45 PM | agamotto | I watched about 20 minutes of the first one... very relaxing
|
07:05:46 PM | JoeInNH | I can see Robbie playign the pan flute
|
07:06:15 PM | agamotto | No.... no Zamfir, please
|
07:07:23 PM | agamotto | Prolonged bleating
|
07:08:03 PM | SashaD | Very relaxing and happily the length of a great nap :)
|
07:08:09 PM | JoeInNH | I have an app on my nook hd which I construct white noise to go to sleep. Usuall have a creek, camp fire, and camping playine
|
07:08:22 PM | agamotto | Does the viewer have AT&T DSL?
|
07:08:59 PM | Lyndon | i have dsl and it does the same thing.
|
07:09:03 PM | SashaD | I want a Roku
|
07:09:30 PM | _Jot__ | SashaD, http://cat5.tv/roku
|
07:09:44 PM | JoeInNH | I wonder is there is a cache setting in the roku
|
07:09:50 PM | ABQTKY | Agamotto - I have enough trouble with CenturyLink DSL (actually VDSL2)
|
07:09:51 PM | Straeger | I haven't tried watching on our Roku, but it is a Roku 1. Wireless G only.
|
07:09:52 PM | agamotto | Does the viewer have the Roku set for 1080, 720, or 480?
|
07:09:56 PM | Whiskey_Zero | RobbieF, I have same problem with Roku
|
07:10:24 PM | agamotto | You really need N to do 720 + well
|
07:10:42 PM | JoeInNH | When I watch TV online I sometimes have to increase the cache buffer.
|
07:10:46 PM | SashaD | Thanks Jot
|
07:10:52 PM | Guest_9945 | my roku buffers too but it's wireless and it's a roku stick
|
07:10:56 PM | Lyndon | my Roku2 automaticly selects low quality
|
07:11:08 PM | Whiskey_Zero | only A year old
|
07:11:24 PM | agamotto | 720 works better on 40" and smaller tvs
|
07:11:57 PM | JoeInNH | Whiskey, I don't have a roku is there a settings panel to change the cache size to increase it
|
07:12:02 PM | Whiskey_Zero | Demand is fine, problem with live program only
|
07:12:13 PM | Guest_9945 | yea it's only with live
|
07:12:13 PM | rainbowman101010 | switch roku from wired to wirless
|
07:12:26 PM | agamotto | That makes sense
|
07:13:00 PM | agamotto | Live will never work well on something like a Roku... not enough gfx hp
|
07:13:58 PM | Guest_9945 | live didn't do this until you moved to the new place actually
|
07:14:01 PM | JoeInNH | RObbie is right trying running a lower quality. Do you live in a crowded area?
|
07:14:05 PM | agamotto | Anything live requires a video card/chip that can buffer at least 1Gb or more of said video
|
07:14:26 PM | agamotto | Hmmm, latency issues then?
|
07:14:51 PM | JoeInNH | I see it fine.
|
07:15:11 PM | JoeInNH | I am on a wireless pc though
|
07:15:16 PM | Guest_9945 | no it's not all the time it only buffers occasionally for me
|
07:15:21 PM | agamotto | Hmmmm, hack a Roku... show idea?
|
07:15:22 PM | keckeckec | Watched last weeks show live on Roku 2 over DSL -- just fine
|
07:15:35 PM | Whiskey_Zero | Old studio worked better for me also
|
07:16:08 PM | JoeInNH | Sometimes the internet can be effected by the number of people in your neighborhood online at the same time. It depends on who your provider is
|
07:16:44 PM | Guest_9945 | I do watch live twitch feeds on my roku
|
07:16:48 PM | Guest_9945 | they work fine
|
07:16:55 PM | agamotto | Hmmmm
|
07:16:59 PM | DJQuad | wireless for me sucks. running ethernet thru brick walls isn't an option. ethernet is obviously king. i'm not sure whether to try powerline adapters or moca
|
07:17:42 PM | DJQuad | twitch streams are why i got my rokus. lol
|
07:17:50 PM | Straeger | poweline adapters aren't that great. Any surge protector has the possibility of filtering the signal
|
07:17:53 PM | Guest_9945 | try setting your QOS settings on your router to give your roku more bandwidth that's what I do
|
07:18:20 PM | agamotto | Those pesky things like work, family, etc...
|
07:18:38 PM | agamotto | No computer... wow
|
07:18:55 PM | Straeger | Give him the Raspberry Pi!
|
07:19:27 PM | jwmp5051 | Hooray, I'm back. Network issues. Reboot. Missed half the show. AAAaaarrrrgggghhh
|
07:22:26 PM | SashaD | We were waiting for you jwmp5051
|
07:22:34 PM | SashaD | :) :)
|
07:22:56 PM | DJQuad | @Straeger aren't they more reliable/faster than moca tho?
|
07:23:01 PM | JoeInNH | We held off the main part of the show...just for you. :)
|
07:23:11 PM | Guest_hARRy | look at the 666 surf...wooooaahhh
|
07:23:45 PM | jwmp5051 | Thanks SashaD. Hopefully people weren't too bored while waiting :)
|
07:23:48 PM | Straeger | Dunno. I tried it for awhile, but went with some dual band wireless extenders instead.
|
07:24:28 PM | Straeger | Sounds like we need a HijackThis log
|
07:24:29 PM | JoeInNH | I surf the web with Waterfox & noscript
|
07:24:45 PM | JoeInNH | I only turn on scripts I want to load
|
07:24:59 PM | Straeger | Might also be able to use Spybot to clean it.
|
07:25:08 PM | JoeInNH | Waterfox = 64 bit Firefox
|
07:25:21 PM | Straeger | I personally run AdBlock plus and NoScript to cut that stuff down.
|
07:25:25 PM | agamotto | It is a shame that you can't just sage the system to clean it out....
|
07:25:34 PM | JoeInNH | They make live Linux cds capable of clean windows system
|
07:25:54 PM | dreamweaver909 | brush twice daily
|
07:26:00 PM | BobK54 | libre
|
07:26:04 PM | Guest_hARRy | Libre
|
07:26:07 PM | Straeger | Free/Libre OSS
|
07:26:13 PM | JoeInNH | see a dentist regular;y
|
07:26:28 PM | Straeger | NP
|
07:26:28 PM | DJQuad | powerline is ethernet over the electrical system. moca is ethernet over the cable coax system
|
07:26:39 PM | Straeger | Free as in beer, free as in libre
|
07:26:42 PM | JoeInNH | libre? French for free
|
07:26:44 PM | Straeger | Different things
|
07:26:54 PM | Straeger | Libre=Freedom
|
07:26:56 PM | Guest_hARRy | or spanish
|
07:27:16 PM | spiceJax | Stumped Robbie lol
|
07:27:33 PM | Straeger | Ah, never messed with MOCA. Don't have enough jacks for it. Just the one from my cable modem.
|
07:28:08 PM | DJQuad | ohhh ok
|
07:28:47 PM | JoeInNH | I wonder what's the most alphabet soup you can put in one sentence
|
07:29:04 PM | Straeger | I'm running Ubuntu Server for my VirtualBox host. 8 core AMD, 16GB RAM. Running it headless.
|
07:29:27 PM | jwmp5051 | WOW. Nice spec
|
07:29:44 PM | JoeInNH | I am running arch on my old P4 Laptop with 1.5 gig mem
|
07:29:53 PM | Guest_hARRy | MOCA is more than just ethernet, I have to work with it all day every day
|
07:29:59 PM | JoeInNH | I need to unpack it since the move
|
07:30:04 PM | Straeger | About $350 for MoBo, Proc, and RAM. Drive was another $50, old case and PS.
|
07:31:03 PM | revdjenk | ahhhhh, just signed on... so late!
|
07:31:12 PM | revdjenk | look at all the people!
|
07:31:18 PM | jwmp5051 | Nice. I use Dell XPS M1730, with 4GB and 1.5TB dual HD
|
07:31:19 PM | Straeger | Yep, using PHPVirtualBox to admin it
|
07:31:32 PM | Straeger | SSH for command line access.
|
07:31:49 PM | revdjenk | hey SashaD !
|
07:32:09 PM | revdjenk | hey _Jot__
|
07:32:14 PM | _Jot__ | hi revdjenk
|
07:32:32 PM | Straeger | Found a nifty little A/B USB switch to swap my keyboard and mouse between Windows and Linux, using the multi-inputs on my monitor.
|
07:32:46 PM | Straeger | about $12 on Amazon
|
07:32:50 PM | Dennis_Kelley | i have Linux mint on a P4 processor also
|
07:32:51 PM | dreamweaver909 | I heard her toes tapping
|
07:32:52 PM | DJQuad | virtualboxes rule. we run debian servers instead of ubuntu. i run a game server hosting company :)
|
07:33:16 PM | dreamweaver909 | impatiently waiting for her turn...lol
|
07:33:35 PM | SashaD | Hi revdjenk... And yep, my toes are a tappin lol
|
07:33:38 PM | Straeger | I'm using my VB server to host a MineCraft server, a distributed rendering node, and a Kali Linux test system.
|
07:33:51 PM | _Jot__ | SashaD, have to do something to keep warm in the snow
|
07:34:18 PM | revdjenk | _Jot__: hee hee
|
07:34:23 PM | DJQuad | nice @Straeger
|
07:34:50 PM | revdjenk | one of these days, I'll put together a home network service
|
07:35:27 PM | JoeInNH | was that odoo?
|
07:35:35 PM | revdjenk | my neighbor works at the local Toyota transmission factory here in WV
|
07:36:04 PM | dreamweaver909 | Microsoft stopped free Windows 7 support today.
|
07:36:18 PM | dreamweaver909 | revdjenk..I'm up by Wheeling!
|
07:36:23 PM | revdjenk | beltone ad, so loud... hee hee
|
07:36:55 PM | MaineGeek75 | wait...micro$oft ACTUALLY had FREE support? lol
|
07:37:00 PM | agamotto | Yep, nothing like irritating most of your users
|
07:37:00 PM | revdjenk | dreamweaver909: I'm midway between charleston and huntington. Used to live in the Steubenville area
|
07:37:00 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:37:12 PM | DJQuad | minecraft is kinda silly. it's entirely java-based. java runs slightly faster on windows than linux
|
07:37:20 PM | dreamweaver909 | cool Stubenville is about 50 miles north
|
07:37:41 PM | dreamweaver909 | Heh, and I was born in Milton.
|
07:37:46 PM | Straeger | Beltone is a hearing aid company, right? They need their ad to be loud so their potential customers can hear it!
|
07:37:54 PM | dreamweaver909 | yeah really
|
07:37:59 PM | revdjenk | just 10 miles west of me!
|
07:38:09 PM | dreamweaver909 | small world
|
07:38:13 PM | revdjenk | Straeger: what did you say?
|
07:38:21 PM | dreamweaver909 | eh? huh?
|
07:38:26 PM | JoeInNH | Who was looking for project management?
|
07:38:52 PM | JoeInNH | There is also projectLibre http://www.projectlibre.org/
|
07:39:20 PM | revdjenk | it sends signal to phones ok... hope to hear the smoke alarm first... but if out of the house... that would be good to know
|
07:39:41 PM | agamotto | At those levels, EVERYONE should want to run from a smoke alarm
|
07:39:43 PM | revdjenk | Everyone knows when RobbieF is cooking!
|
07:39:59 PM | Straeger | That's how we know dinner's ready at my house.
|
07:40:07 PM | JoeInNH | I wonder if you can subscribe to it
|
07:40:19 PM | JoeInNH | Then we all will know when robbie cooks
|
07:40:42 PM | Straeger | I wish other companies would do that with their patents. Stupid patent trolls.
|
07:41:19 PM | revdjenk | Straeger: it may be that they aren't going this direction? or need a LOT of help?
|
07:41:31 PM | JoeInNH | There are a lot of patent groups like this. Basically, a mutual not sue each.
|
07:41:33 PM | DJQuad | i had to move the smoke detector away from my bbq smoker. lol
|
07:41:40 PM | spiceJax | Ty oh Dah
|
07:42:07 PM | revdjenk | collaborative who would know anything about such a subject, how this could work... I don't know of anyone sharing their work for free... ahem
|
07:42:37 PM | revdjenk | but then, who would we be able to sue!
|
07:42:48 PM | dreamweaver909 | But where are the flying cars????
|
07:43:07 PM | Lyndon | or at least hover cars...
|
07:43:17 PM | _Jot__ | all cars are flying cars, they just need to be travelling fast enough up the ramp, and they don't fly very far
|
07:43:35 PM | dreamweaver909 | I mean like in Back to the Future 2 lol
|
07:43:43 PM | revdjenk | _Jot__: and the landing isn't so graceful
|
07:43:52 PM | Straeger | What's sad, is a patent troll's business model is to acquire patents specifically to sue people. It's pathetic.
|
07:44:27 PM | BobK54 | SashaD....former cohost of Cat5tv.....
|
07:44:37 PM | revdjenk | you may have your child in someone else's care.... and if you are a type A you NEED to know
|
07:44:44 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: ^
|
07:44:55 PM | dreamweaver909 | muwhahahaha
|
07:45:01 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:45:31 PM | Straeger | I could use one of those bluetooth baby items. I have a lot of trouble figuring out why our 4 month old is crying. It's usually hungry/dirty/tired (in that order), but sometimes it's hard to tell.
|
07:45:39 PM | revdjenk | We've noticed that you haven't acknowledged the app alarms about the care of your child
|
07:45:49 PM | dreamweaver909 | hopefully no diapers with probes...lol
|
07:45:54 PM | spiceJax | big brother strikes again
|
07:46:00 PM | JoeInNH | Why not take the technology from mugs that change based on water temp & put it on Diapers!!!!
|
07:46:06 PM | Straeger | diapers already have that wet/dry stripe.
|
07:46:11 PM | revdjenk | Straeger: not telling you? what kind of parent are you! teach 'em sign language!
|
07:46:14 PM | agamotto | No kidding
|
07:46:23 PM | dreamweaver909 | not the probes I'm talking about
|
07:46:24 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:46:25 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol
|
07:46:38 PM | spiceJax | electric nanny for the wealthy
|
07:46:56 PM | Lyndon | baby signs are the best!!
|
07:47:09 PM | MaineGeek75 | they made a winning poker robot...what about taking care of baby robot? lol j/k
|
07:47:11 PM | JoeInNH | if (true == child.stinks ) then change diapers
|
07:47:12 PM | Lyndon | worked with both of our kids
|
07:47:15 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:47:26 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol
|
07:47:47 PM | revdjenk | I used to play POKEr with my old CoCo's Color Basic
|
07:47:55 PM | JoeInNH | This is a technology show. Not put everything in the form os pseudo code
|
07:48:07 PM | Dennis_Kelley | i did not have so much technology as a baby and i am fine i am fine
|
07:48:17 PM | JoeInNH | The CoCo Ruled
|
07:48:28 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: yes
|
07:48:36 PM | MaineGeek75 | i had a coco II
|
07:48:39 PM | agamotto | I purposely take technology breaks just to keep from being lost in a screen.
|
07:48:42 PM | Straeger | Sound like tic-tac-toe. No winners until one person makes a mistake
|
07:48:46 PM | JoeInNH | I had I, II, and III
|
07:48:53 PM | PCtweaker | Sasha: take it from someone with six kids, they all show signs of being sick differently. Two of my kids don't even start to ack sick until temp is over 101 degrees.
|
07:48:54 PM | DJQuad | poker is primarily a math game. of course computers are better at it
|
07:48:57 PM | MaineGeek75 | nice
|
07:49:20 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: used them from '84 to about '87 (had six at one time!)
|
07:49:25 PM | JoeInNH | I wonder if they'll put a gps on the bluetooth pacifier/diaper?
|
07:49:28 PM | dreamweaver909 | the earth is getting tired
|
07:49:31 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:49:40 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol
|
07:49:43 PM | MaineGeek75 | i know i am
|
07:49:59 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: just I and II for me.
|
07:50:02 PM | Straeger | Not just internet companies, but the Satellite Communications field is affected too. Doppler shift over 1 second off can cause...issues.
|
07:50:29 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: then switched to Geos and windows 1.03 yikes!
|
07:50:31 PM | JoeInNH | The coco III had lots of cool stuff. Ever get to a rainbow fest
|
07:50:54 PM | JoeInNH | Switched to windows 1.03...Man that must of been depressing
|
07:50:54 PM | revdjenk | no never made it to one... even though I lived in the SF Bay area then
|
07:50:59 PM | MaineGeek75 | i ran geos on my old 286 sx 15 lol...MEMORIES :P
|
07:51:23 PM | spiceJax | Loved my CoCO! still have them
|
07:51:32 PM | MaineGeek75 | do you remember the old DeskMate software from Tandy?
|
07:51:36 PM | dreamweaver909 | yeah and they said rolling over to the year 2000 would mess things up...
|
07:51:40 PM | revdjenk | MaineGeek75: it is amazing how much win8 reminded me of that! basic colors, split screen programs, flat design
|
07:51:50 PM | DJQuad | my birthday is feb 29th. i'm 6. lol
|
07:51:50 PM | JoeInNH | I was playing with speech synthesis and recognition on my coco 3, then moved to a pc with no sound at all
|
07:52:05 PM | PCtweaker | Sasha: Plus with that many kids, doing the hand to the forehead isn't consistent. My wife will say he's hot, I'll say he's fine. A device like this could bring peace to my house :-)
|
07:52:09 PM | _Jot__ | DJQuad, are you even allowed to stay up this late?
|
07:52:19 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol...went from my CoCo II to a tandy 1000HX
|
07:52:24 PM | JoeInNH | I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks it
|
07:52:25 PM | jwmp5051 | Why would it be a problem? Computers regularly update the RTC from an NTP server.
|
07:52:29 PM | DJQuad | lol jot
|
07:52:30 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: hee hee, I know, the 8088 chips were so limited
|
07:52:46 PM | revdjenk | friction!
|
07:53:05 PM | spiceJax | Amiga 1000 for me
|
07:53:10 PM | revdjenk | friction, moving further from the sun in its orbit
|
07:53:13 PM | agamotto | The moon is pulling on it, causing the rotation to slow. The moon will eventually drop onto/into the Earth.
|
07:53:14 PM | Straeger | http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae695.cfm
|
07:53:16 PM | MaineGeek75 | limited...it was like playing with a brick as a keyboard and the screen was an empty tv (with out its tube) lol
|
07:53:17 PM | DJQuad | here we go. science
|
07:53:33 PM | BobK54 | :)
|
07:53:47 PM | Lyndon | i think the moon is floating away
|
07:53:53 PM | revdjenk | RobbieF: it is a lot warmer than 100 years ago!
|
07:53:55 PM | Straeger | you need an exclamation point: Science!
|
07:54:01 PM | revdjenk | Lyndon: that, too
|
07:54:10 PM | Lyndon | =)
|
07:54:17 PM | dreamweaver909 | lol
|
07:54:32 PM | revdjenk | RobbieF: you should understand the "hockey stick" graph of temp increases
|
07:54:32 PM | JoeInNH | 100 years ago we were on the tail end of coming out of a mini ice age
|
07:54:43 PM | JoeInNH | Actually the moon is floating away
|
07:54:51 PM | spiceJax | Wait a second
|
07:54:56 PM | BobK54 | robbie has lost all control
|

07:55:21 PM | revdjenk | SashaD: back to sleep, or into your chat!
|
07:55:58 PM | Straeger | Isn't there a leveling program to wipe SSDs by erasing them and then leveling the wear of the transistors?
|
07:56:17 PM | DJQuad | we're all doomed robbie. the universe is expanding and therefore stars and planets are getting further apart. grab your winter coat
|
07:56:23 PM | revdjenk | Straeger: trim?
|
07:56:42 PM | _Jot__ | Straeger, modern SSDs do that automatically, and every SSD is different so you need manufacturer supplied software for that SSD specifically if it isn't in the firmware already
|
07:56:43 PM | Lyndon | just copy a large Linux distro onto it
|
07:57:30 PM | PCtweaker | Think of the Earth as a ballerina and the Moon are her hands. As the Moon moves away, the Earth's spin will slow down. That's my crazy hair-brained theory, and I'm sticking to it :-)
|
07:57:47 PM | revdjenk | PCtweaker: yes! science!
|
07:58:07 PM | revdjenk | PCtweaker: and the score... 4.95
|
07:58:34 PM | Lyndon | sounds true to me PCtweaker
|
07:58:35 PM | PCtweaker | revdjenk: Yes, Mythbusters style!
|
07:58:55 PM | agamotto | I have been using parted magic for a long time... fixes many systems
|
07:59:22 PM | SashaD | Wowsers... That was a lot of reading to catch up on!
|
07:59:36 PM | JoeInNH | Wouldn't a giant electro magnit do the same thing?
|
07:59:37 PM | _Jot__ | scrolling down really helps eh?
|
07:59:55 PM | revdjenk | JoeInNH: yes, but with less control
|
08:00:08 PM | SashaD | Thank Jot, yep.
|
08:00:20 PM | PCtweaker | RobbieF: oh, I'm sorry. Are we talking technology again? Ok, I'll come back down to Earth now :-)
|
08:00:23 PM | JoeInNH | Control was not specified as a requirement
|
08:00:46 PM | revdjenk | oh noes, over already!?!?
|
08:00:58 PM | BobK54 | wow, quick hour!
|
08:00:59 PM | JoeInNH | Wow that went fast.

|
08:04:48 PM | spiceJax | oh well...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
|
08:04:59 PM | revdjenk | hey RobbieF I have a great survey question for chat next week.... I have a guess that many Linux users started on other OS' earlier on.... you can see the discussion in chat about CoCo, geos and early win versions.... we were more apt to try something else?
|
08:05:37 PM | PCtweaker | DJQuad: Bring the sponsors and more Robbie will follow. Right Robbie?
|
08:06:08 PM | revdjenk | bye, and I mean it this time...
|
08:06:09 PM | agamotto | So, how are things up in Barrie, besides chilly?
|
08:06:18 PM | KelseyJ | thats it
|
08:06:20 PM | KelseyJ | chilly
|
08:06:40 PM | spiceJax | I wanted a laptop so I had to get win95
|
08:07:11 PM | agamotto | I will just be happy when the 20-degree weather swings are over...
|
08:07:13 PM | Lyndon | why not 98? hehehe
|
08:07:46 PM | PCtweaker | Guess I better go as well, because six kids don't feed themselves (when Mom is at work)
|
08:07:50 PM | spiceJax | now all Linux Mint Laptops
|
08:08:14 PM | agamotto | They can,,, but you usually don't want to clean up after them if they do.
|
08:08:18 PM | spiceJax | No 98 in 95 lol
|
08:08:40 PM | Lyndon | i just installed mint 12 on my old computer that had xp
|
08:08:55 PM | spiceJax | cinnamon?
|
08:09:42 PM | Lyndon | oh right sorry. ( feeling stupid)
|
08:09:52 PM | spiceJax | One's 17.1 and one 17
|
08:09:59 PM | Lyndon | cinnamon, yes
|
08:10:05 PM | Lyndon | love it
|
08:10:05 PM | spiceJax | No prob
|
08:10:14 PM | orangeman | the tv wont go to 720p Robbie in samsum
|
08:10:27 PM | Lyndon | my 6 yr old can use mint, lov'n it
|
08:11:06 PM | spiceJax | a song for robbie (Ronnie lol) http://youtu.be/OP5zbe2-xYg
|
08:11:19 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya i was tired of fixing my teenage daughter's computer everyweek, so i put mint on it, stopped all the issues she was having AND she was able to do all the normal stuff she wanted...
|
08:12:08 PM | Lyndon | thats what makes mint and ubuntu so great. user friendly
|
08:12:35 PM | MaineGeek75 | yup
|
08:12:48 PM | spiceJax | A good copy paste for Linux COPYQ try it
|
08:13:23 PM | spiceJax | Not thrilled with Unity
|
08:13:26 PM | MaineGeek75 | she was and still is a Windows kid...but when she was using that, she was happy to be able to do the same stuff in mint. I also tried Zorin on her laptop too
|
08:14:32 PM | MaineGeek75 | i use Zorin to introduce everyone i talk with to Linux.
|
08:15:29 PM | spiceJax | A good way to transition to Mint is to replace any programs on the Windows side to OpenSource like Libre office Gimp etc
|
08:15:40 PM | agamotto | I am just happy to be using my computer more than spending time maintaining it
|
08:15:42 PM | Lyndon | is Zorin based on Ubuntu?
|
08:16:01 PM | MaineGeek75 | yes
|
08:16:37 PM | Lyndon | hmmm... might give it a try.
|
08:17:07 PM | spiceJax | debian > ubuntu > mint
|
08:17:09 PM | MaineGeek75 | http://zorin-os.com/
|
08:17:55 PM | MaineGeek75 | has a "look changer" in it that makes it look like windows, gnome, mac ... couple different version of windows xp and 7 i think
|
08:18:02 PM | Lyndon | thanks MaineGeek75. going there now.. in another tab =)
|
08:18:20 PM | MaineGeek75 | glad to help out :)
|
08:19:04 PM | spiceJax | this will 'blow your mind' Linux Family tree http://futurist.se/gldt/wp-content/uploads/12.10/gldt1210.svg
|
08:19:13 PM | Lyndon | does this chatroom shut down at a certain time or do you guys stay on here all night??
|
08:19:35 PM | MaineGeek75 | i think you can stay here as long as you want BUT i'm not 100% sure on that
|
08:19:38 PM | spiceJax | it's open but people fade out
|
08:19:43 PM | MaineGeek75 | it is up every time I look so...
|
08:20:25 PM | spiceJax | sometimes robbie pops in
|
08:21:11 PM | spiceJax | he has 3hr of work to post the show
|
08:21:15 PM | Lyndon | good grief!! i had to zoom out like a mile!
|
08:21:18 PM | agamotto | It is open 24/7, people flow in and out as time allows
|
08:21:35 PM | Lyndon | so debian was the seedhuh?
|
08:21:46 PM | MaineGeek75 | rofl...watching last week's show...SashaD: "I'd like to learn PHP and that other one....." :P

|
08:25:38 PM | spiceJax | mainly all come from three Redhat Debian and Slackware mostly Deb and RedHat
|
08:26:25 PM | agamotto | Yes, Sasha's new show ought to save folks some money
|
08:26:45 PM | spiceJax | then we have many desktops to choose from on top
|
08:27:06 PM | RobbieF | Lyndon the new show is still in production. Should be within the next week or two. We keep having to bump it back, but it'll be soon.
|
08:27:13 PM | RobbieF | It's a big production (all CGI)
|
08:28:36 PM | Lyndon | even Shasa?
|
08:28:53 PM | _Jot__ | lensflare galore
|
08:28:56 PM | MaineGeek75 | Hey Robbie, how did you learn all this stuff? Did you just sit down and tinker or did you go to shcool for it all?
|
08:29:38 PM | Lyndon | just like Startrek hehe
|
08:30:07 PM | Lyndon | cool. Thanks Robbie
|
08:30:38 PM | spiceJax | He got fed up with Windows LOL
|
08:31:11 PM | Lyndon | lol
|
08:31:18 PM | RobbieF | LOADS of lens flares
|
08:31:53 PM | Lyndon | yess!
|
08:31:54 PM | RobbieF | MaineGeek75 that's a loaded question. Each thing is different, but essentially, years of being in the field. Started my first computer company when I was 17.
|
08:32:09 PM | agamotto | Well, I think I will wander off. Grace is nibbling on my toes, so I think she wants some attention
|
08:32:17 PM | RobbieF | Night agamotto
|
08:32:37 PM | agamotto | Chat with you all later
|
08:33:46 PM | MaineGeek75 | very nice...didn't mean to have it be a loaded one though :P. What was the first thing that introduced you to the field? School or did you just tinker :P
|
08:35:47 PM | MaineGeek75 | for me, my teacher asked me to tinker with some computer's he had in his class room and told me that if i could fix 4 out of the 8 that were not running i could have one. it turned out i was able to fix 5 of them. he basically said pick the one you want...so i did...
|
08:35:54 PM | spiceJax | Computers, BiPolar Love/Hate it's better with Linux now more Love
|
08:36:32 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol
|
08:36:37 PM | Lyndon | me too spiceJax
|
08:37:28 PM | RobbieF | Nice, MaineGeek75. Sounds like me in school.
|
08:38:03 PM | spiceJax | Anyone else a "TABaholic"?
|
08:38:04 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya was fun way back then.... :P they were a bunch of old PCjr's ...
|
08:38:05 PM | RobbieF | In Grade 9 I was moved out of the basic programming class and became the teacher's aid for OAC Computer Science.
|
08:38:22 PM | RobbieF | Started with computers (which weren't "really" computers back then) when I was 4.
|
08:38:35 PM | Lyndon | I learned from my friends durring UT parties!
|

|
08:38:48 PM | RobbieF | Nice.
|
08:38:52 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya, i tried programming in highschool. i ended up dropping the course because i actaully knew MORE than the teacher...they didn't like it when i took their 20 lines of code and did the same thing in 5 lines.
|
08:39:04 PM | RobbieF | I had a GOTY server on a 100 Mb/sec collocation ;)
|
08:39:08 PM | MaineGeek75 | really makes the teacher angry lol
|
08:39:26 PM | RobbieF | Yeah I hated school for that. Poor teachers who had to put up with me :)
|
08:39:38 PM | MaineGeek75 | lol
|
08:39:40 PM | Lyndon | GOTY yes
|
08:39:41 PM | RobbieF | I'm sure I seemed like a snob... "this is SO beneath me"
|
08:39:42 PM | RobbieF | lol
|
08:39:58 PM | SashaD | I love being part of the show... Thank you for all your kind words, ad also your honest feedback :)
