06:58:27 PMJoeInNH Hey DJ

06:58:43 PMRobbieF Hi JoeInNH
06:58:46 PMMovieBuff @RobbieF cool
06:58:54 PMRobbieF DJQuad we gotta buy her one :)
06:59:03 PMRobbieF she was waiting for the new ones to come out.
06:59:06 PMRobbieF So... any time :)
06:59:27 PMDJQuad new ones??
06:59:49 PMRobbieF yep
06:59:52 PMRobbieF faster, better strong faster.
06:59:54 PMRobbieF :)
07:00:31 PMDJQuad what's new? (nm i'll google it. i know you're getting ready for the show. lol)
07:00:43 PMDennis_Kelley Anyone in Michigan going to the Penquicon in Southfield this weekend
07:00:59 PMJoeInNH Robbie you should show Sasha the coolness of avant window navigator
07:01:05 PMRobbieF :)
07:01:31 PMRobbieF How's Roku?
07:01:32 PMJoeInNH POS terminals...are a lot of those running WinXP?
07:01:39 PMRobbieF yep
07:02:31 PMJoeInNH I tripple tasking. I am playing Angband and chatting on my cool linux machine, and I got the live stream going on my Win7 machine
07:02:54 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF - FYI - I am not on Roku tonight. it is warm enough in my lab/basement to watch on my main system!
07:03:04 PMDennis_Kelley Hi
07:03:05 PMRobbieF Hi.
07:03:10 PMRobbieF Why Hello.
07:03:30 PMDreamweaver909 say no more...lol
07:03:55 PMDreamweaver909 happy birthday, Sasha
07:03:59 PMDennis_Kelley Happy Birthday SashaD
07:04:08 PMJoeInNH Happy Birthday Sasha!
07:04:23 PMDJQuad happy 23rd birthday sasha!
07:04:29 PMspiceJax The green button wont play the show but the link on the right did. using Mint and FF.
07:04:42 PMJoeInNH You can send yourself a private message in here
07:06:22 PMspiceJax BTW, if I buy from a ad on the player page does Cat5 get a cut like the affilate links?
07:07:33 PMJoeInNH Fuzzy logic...
07:07:35 PMDJQuad https://donate.category5.tv/
07:07:55 PMDJQuad (That's what Jot would do)
07:09:33 PMDJQuad if you can't donate be sure to buy thru cat5's amazon's link. costs you nothing more and cat5 gets a cut
07:09:37 PMSashaD Thank you DJQuad :)
07:12:52 PMspiceJax I've been using the aff links but I have some things that are popping up in the ads that I was googleing so I want y'all to get a cut there too
07:13:56 PMDreamweaver909 I remember dial up BBS'
07:14:34 PMDJQuad remember when it took 10 minutes to download a picture? lol
07:14:58 PMspiceJax eeee gronnnkkk eeehhh gronk ....
07:15:16 PMDJQuad lol. that sound
07:15:28 PMDreamweaver909 That's right b& w tv with 3-4 channels
07:15:51 PMDreamweaver909 got out first color tv in 1965
07:16:28 PMDJQuad wow. when tvs had dials instead of remotes
07:16:40 PMDreamweaver909 Yeah if you'd get in an online game like Mutants you'd get killed after you log off...
07:17:54 PMDJQuad google is also punishing sites that don't support https
07:19:25 PMspiceJax Frankly I dont like when It 'defaults' to a Mobile page when I use chrome on the phone
07:20:13 PMDJQuad i'm sure robbie will cover it, but if you use a responsive wordpress theme, or bootstrap, you're fine
07:20:29 PMDreamweaver909 I don't use mobile devices
07:20:30 PMspiceJax The Band Elwood, the band!
07:20:52 PMDreamweaver909 get a hair cut, hippie....lol
07:21:20 PMDJQuad i don't either dreamweaver, but i'm a web developer :)
07:21:37 PMspiceJax how about pinch and zoom
07:21:52 PMStarflight Hello
07:22:26 PMDJQuad zooming and responsive doesn't work well together. layout stuff
07:23:39 PMDreamweaver909 Was there Soulcleansed-mania in Canada?
07:23:42 PMDreamweaver909 :)
07:24:25 PMspiceJax 'request Desktop site' and hope it works
07:25:59 PMAndy1702 Hi guys! What i want to know is how to force my phone (Blackberry) to show full websites instead of the crappy mobile versions?>
07:26:05 PMDJQuad ironically most of google's sites aren't responsive and look like crap on mobile
07:26:19 PMJoeInNH That is ironic
07:27:23 PMAndy1702 Yes it does redirect and I wish it didn't, because I now have to get on my desktop PC to use all the website functions
07:27:57 PMJoeInNH How is Google going to determine these sites
07:28:10 PMDreamweaver909 Yay NEWS~~~~~~~~~
07:28:41 PMspiceJax I use android no clue on BB but on chrome the menu button has Request Desktop checkbox
07:29:22 PMAndy1702 Mobile sites drive me nuts
07:29:28 PMDreamweaver909 Microsoft just put out 34 patches today
07:30:13 PMDreamweaver909 it's deep
07:30:26 PMAndy1702 I was watching this show on my TV via the website, went to my phone to also access the chat through the site and found I couldn't do it because it was the crappy mibile version
07:30:33 PMDJQuad Joe - in css there are what's called media queries, which determine various layouts based on mobile widths. google indexes those just like website content
07:30:40 PMJoeInNH Is the next one going to be called Brewster?
07:30:40 PMspiceJax I got another translation for POS lol
07:32:52 PMspiceJax what did Robbie say about the ads next to the video? I missed his answer
07:33:55 PMspiceJax embedded MS needs to change to Linux yes Sasha
07:35:06 PMDJQuad part of why windows 10 is free is to get businesses off xp. i wish more of them would know linux is such a better option
07:35:24 PMfking some atms use xp
07:35:39 PMDreamweaver909 lol
07:36:13 PMspiceJax havent use a ATM in years
07:36:15 PMJoeInNH Linux isn't just better. Is is Far supperior! I am typing this on an ancient P4 with 1.5G memory and Arch Linux
07:36:55 PMJoeInNH I can't run a modern WinBloze OS on this system, and I am crazy and update my software files near daily
07:36:58 PMAndy1702 I agree, Linux is better, but it really falls down on ease of use for those who aren't tech savvy
07:37:08 PMspiceJax Joe why'd you pick ARCH?
07:37:29 PMspiceJax winbloze LOL
07:37:51 PMDJQuad some banks, public utility systems, legacy servers, etc use xp too. the last stat i read was about 40% of all windows systems still run on xp
07:38:19 PMJoeInNH Spice: 2 reasons: more control without having to compile everything, and it forced me to get to know what was going on in the linux system because I had to set it up
07:38:48 PMJoeInNH I think NYC subway computers still use OS-2 Warp
07:39:12 PMAndy1702 @Robbie How can Iget the full cat5 website on my phone? I don't want the mobile version.
07:39:31 PMspiceJax ah ha I'll wait to self abuse I mean learn CLI lol
07:40:01 PMDJQuad OS/2. good times :)
07:40:02 PMJoeInNH Andy: maybe use one of the phone browsers that load the site on there computers first?
07:40:14 PMJoeInNH Never used OS/2
07:40:20 PMfking schools should use chromebooks
07:40:33 PMJoeInNH Apple is about creating addicts
07:40:45 PMspiceJax Warp another MS victim
07:40:53 PMAndy1702 I don't want to use up space with loads of different browsers though
07:41:09 PMDJQuad OS/2 was the first OS (that i know of) that allowed multitasking
07:41:11 PMJoeInNH Maybe they could convert the Apple computers to use Linux
07:41:15 PMAndy1702 I just want the proper websites all the time. Mobile versions don't have enough features
07:41:24 PMspiceJax AmigaDOS
07:41:56 PMspiceJax and UNIX lol
07:42:22 PMJoeInNH spice: there is a graphical package manager, but I prefer to use the keyboard
07:42:26 PMStarflight Wow I am having trouble connecting to the show
07:43:24 PMStarflight disconneted 10 times in 5 minutes - I think your video show is messing up my computer connection
07:43:26 PMAndy1702 It's slow loading Starflight
07:44:16 PMfking roku doing a lot of buffering
07:44:35 PMJoeInNH Max "Cool Hacker" Headroom. What was the software?
07:44:42 PMStarflight I have to F5 the page again !
07:44:50 PMRobbieF Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Roku. No trouble on our end tonight.
07:44:52 PMAndy1702 What is this Roku thing? Never heard of it here in the UK.
07:44:56 PMspiceJax Norrrtoonn! to the moon!
07:45:07 PMJoeInNH I use avg
07:45:19 PMJoeInNH and clamav on my arch system
07:45:23 PMDreamweaver909 slight?
07:45:34 PMDJQuad clam = best av. lol
07:45:38 PMSashaD today maybe more than slight
07:45:51 PMDreamweaver909 lol
07:46:10 PMAndy1702 They do!!!
07:46:18 PMspiceJax Star if youre on the main page try the 'Were live Link' on the right side of the page
07:47:20 PMspiceJax try this http://live.cat5.tv
07:47:26 PMDJQuad gj sasha! lol. exactly
07:48:05 PMAndy1702 My phone fills the screen with all ordinary websites. I just zoom in if I need to
07:48:28 PMfking i'm guessing it is time warner on my end
07:48:31 PMspiceJax looks like squarespace
07:49:58 PMDJQuad that's the sucky part spice. web designs have very, very limited layout options to look good on mobile devices
07:50:48 PMDreamer__ exactly Andy1702 , I am with you on this one. Some sites still detect your mobile and attempt to push the mobile version on you. Fortunately today I figured out how to prevent this with firefox on android.
07:51:02 PMspiceJax that I like
07:51:20 PMAndy1702 spiceJax, http://live.cat5.tv works to bring up the chat room, but doesn't let me got to all of the normal desktop site
07:51:57 PMAndy1702 Damn right I don't like it! And from today my home page is NOT Google any more!!!!! :-)
07:53:10 PMAndy1702 Now people know Google are not showing all websites, maybe people will stop using Google as their search engine?
07:53:47 PMDJQuad Robbie - do you think a modern wordpress theme like Avada with responsiveness is "good enough"? most designers obviously don't care about responsive code
07:55:01 PMDJQuad her blog uses wordpress right?
07:55:19 PMDJQuad nm. lol
07:56:11 PMspiceJax I'm a 45%er lol
07:56:26 PMRobbieF :)
07:57:14 PMDJQuad this is why every site i do uses wordpress. granted, they are mostly brochure type sites
07:57:16 PMspiceJax oops that's 35%
07:59:39 PMJoeInNH I just had to move my contacts to claws mail on this system from gmail
08:00:15 PMspiceJax another hour slips by
