07:14:12 PMGoodGuy98 Roku was buffering so much, I switched to here
07:14:39 PMGoodGuy98 It was before the official show promo played
07:14:58 PMGoodGuy98 Amish RobbieF

07:16:01 PMGoodGuy98 I want the comics from Jericho TV show
07:16:04 PMSparklyballs was that cultivator 400 dollar thing a friendly dig at JeffWeston ?
07:16:31 PMGoodGuy98 My wife isn't into comics replacing the show she loved
07:17:46 PMElroy Robbie could have been the Star Trek baby alien played by Clint Howard - LOL

07:23:47 PMSoundPro69 RobbieF JeffWeston, Does it matter? I didn't know the TV had speakers... Ha ha... That sucks!
07:23:48 PMSongbird :O
07:23:56 PMSparklyballs i've got a onkyo amp and a 7.1 speaker set from acoustic energy.
07:24:23 PMElroy I got a 37" Vizio soundbar but mounted mine IN FRONT OF THE TV Robbie 8-)
07:24:37 PMGoodGuy98 Acostic Energy speakers seem very popular
07:24:49 PMSoundPro69 Yes. You are pronouncing it correctly JeffWeston. \
07:24:52 PMSongbird That would be great to have Elroy!
07:24:53 PMElroy well, below in front
07:24:55 PMGoodGuy98 Brand of receivers Onyko
07:25:14 PMSparklyballs it's the brand
07:25:22 PMSoundPro69 I really love Marantz and Denon.

07:25:26 PMGoodGuy98 Onkyo

07:25:58 PMElroy yes, it was normally 119 or thereabouts
07:26:33 PMSongbird Still waiting for my Hubby to install surround speakers to my TV yet. Geesh. lol
07:26:46 PMElroy it was thru Walmart.com and picked up in the store
07:26:48 PMSparklyballs last thing i bought was today, from an actual live n the flesh store.
07:26:59 PMrevdjenk I have some oinkyo components.... but it broke my piggy bank
07:27:01 PMSparklyballs 32GB card for one of pi's.
07:27:45 PMSparklyballs i don't know if my amp is still in production, i've had it a while.
07:27:54 PMrevdjenk Songbird: you should be able to handle that!
07:28:15 PMSongbird Yea I think I can do it revdjenk. I need to quit being lazy. lol
07:28:30 PMElroy believe it was Vizio 2.0 38" soundbar - didn't come with subwoofer but has place to plug one in separately.
07:28:44 PMGoodGuy98 Discover an Instagram bug... $10,000.00 will buy you a nice stereo setup!
07:29:07 PMSparklyballs http://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/products/tx-sr607-34617.html
07:29:19 PMSparklyballs got it in black though.
07:31:37 PMSparklyballs do they stock rocket booster boots ?

07:35:51 PMElroy hack em while ur young, before u get prosecuted as an adult. LOL
07:35:57 PMSongbird lol
07:36:33 PMSparklyballs i have a white fedora
07:37:38 PMSongbird LOLLL
07:37:49 PMElroy LOL - goofy looks get views
07:37:53 PMSongbird That would draw me right in!!
07:38:14 PMRobbieF You like?! :)
07:38:17 PMElroy international union of clowns will send u a takedown notice for not paying dues. LOL
07:38:22 PMSongbird lol Now it did freeze on Robbie's face.
07:38:36 PMSongbird lol Elroy
07:38:40 PMSparklyballs i stumbled onto a palsy support group video......
07:38:45 PMElroy Songbird: now that image will burn on ur screen forever
07:38:55 PMSongbird lol YIKES!
07:39:35 PMElroy Sparklyballs: LOL
07:40:20 PMSongbird I am working through Grace and Frankie on Netflix. lol
07:40:51 PMSongbird Oh...that is a Netflix show ...I forgot. :)
07:40:56 PMElroy they say u will make it up in volume
07:42:04 PMRobbieF Check out "Delivery Man"
07:42:43 PMSongbird Delivery Man is a Netflix original?
07:43:54 PMGoodGuy98 Does Netflix have a special URL that gives Cat5 TV a donation?
07:44:02 PMRobbieF no, but it's on there! And they're polling if they (netflix) want to produce Season 2
07:44:34 PMRobbieF goodguy98 unfortunately they are not a current partner
07:44:46 PMRobbieF I will look into if they will partner with us again
07:46:20 PMSongbird That would be cool GoodGuy98
07:46:20 PMGoodGuy98 Tekzilla and a few other tech shows used to offer that
07:46:20 PMGoodGuy98 Have not seen it mentioned in quite awhile
07:46:20 PMElroy so each fisheye lens is like a small prism that spreads each pixel out in all directions, so different people see coherent image?
07:46:20 PMElroy very cool
07:47:26 PMElroy but u need a separate lens for each pixel, so it would be cumbersome to get too high DPI
07:47:59 PMGoodGuy98 I thought they had TVs with higher than 4K at CES
07:48:23 PMSongbird Thanks Jeff!
07:48:28 PMElroy sounds like something from Futurama - tweak the 3D Robbie bobblehead to advance to next screen.
07:48:39 PMSongbird lol
07:49:02 PMSoundPro69 RobbieF, JeffWeston, I installed Ubuntu Mate on my old Asus NetBook and used the Mate Tweak config point to set the appearance to "NetBook" to overcome the screen resolution limitations as suggested by your guest two weeks ago. Nice!
07:49:08 PMElroy look at that fine piece of engineering marvelousness
07:49:20 PMrevdjenk the screen doesn't seem to match the keyboard?
07:50:09 PMSongbird Very sturdy! lol
07:50:48 PMrevdjenk Do you have background music ready for the startup time>
07:52:35 PMElroy thank god its not booting windows. we could be here all night.
07:52:42 PMSongbird lol
07:52:43 PMrevdjenk hee hee Elroy
07:53:13 PMSoundPro69 The BlackBerry would run out of battery before windows boots up...
07:53:21 PMElroy LOL probably so
07:53:36 PMSongbird Mine takes for ever to boot up. arghhh
07:53:44 PMSoundPro69 1m 07.2 secs
07:54:52 PMSoundPro69 11.3 secs
07:55:11 PMrevdjenk Songbird: I see two projects for you this month!
07:55:26 PMSongbird lol That is for sure! :D
07:56:24 PMSongbird Two of the 100 projects I need to do. lol
07:56:30 PMSoundPro69 36.9 secs
07:58:36 PMElroy external chassis - u could carry a Terabyte in your pants!
07:58:41 PMrevdjenk I've added these to three of our laptops. Welcome change!
07:58:59 PMSparklyballs why didn't you just sudo time find / -iname "*.txt" ?
07:59:38 PMSongbird I always have to ground myself in the Winter. I get zapped so bad sometimes. lol
07:59:48 PMElroy that's the easiest laptop hard drive removal I ever saw
08:00:16 PMSongbird When this Windows fails I will get that and put it in my computer. Won't be long now. lol
08:00:22 PMrevdjenk cooler
08:01:13 PMrevdjenk Songbird: Windows, compared to Linux, has already failed! Get to it!
08:01:21 PMElroy LOL good point
08:01:35 PMSongbird You got that right revdjenk.
08:01:42 PMrevdjenk Songbird: you can dual boot, and try it now!
08:02:08 PMSongbird I have a desk top though. That is harder for me. :)
08:02:31 PMElroy desktop usually easier. never seen a laptop this easy
08:02:48 PMrevdjenk Songbird: The concepts are the same, should be easier to open a desktop!
08:03:18 PMSongbird I have never opened up mine yet. I will give it a look later tonight just to see what it looks like.
08:03:42 PMSongbird Drum rollllll
08:03:44 PMrevdjenk Songbird: Actually, most desktops have room to install multiple harddrives. You could add an ssd harddrive and just put Linux on it
08:03:57 PMrevdjenk Songbird: and then boot to it
08:04:40 PMSongbird Woe
08:05:05 PMDooley_da_Vulcan hello all, adding the SSD makes them fly, so old hardware with linux and SSD and your smokin
08:06:20 PMSoundPro69 Wow man!
08:06:25 PMElroy who needs a new laptop, just change the drive
08:06:42 PMSongbird This is so good to know!!
08:07:12 PMElroy that's like upgrading from a minivan to a Tesla
08:07:27 PMTSmithGuyHI Did you have to partition the drive first or did you install like last week Ubuntu?
08:07:31 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF - If it wasnt displaying the names to the screen, it would be a truer test
08:07:43 PMrevdjenk Songbird: and if you can add extra ram, it would even be better!
08:07:47 PMGoodGuy98 Screen I/O might be slowing it down
08:08:05 PMDooley_da_Vulcan my HP desktop went from 3 minutes booting windows to booting ubuntu in 12-15 seconds
08:08:19 PMGoodGuy98 Might be an option to not display names
08:08:20 PMSongbird I have never worked on my computer before but if I refer back to Cat5 episodes I will learn. :D
08:08:42 PMrevdjenk Songbird: ! :)
08:08:47 PMSongbird :D
08:08:59 PMElroy Scottie hands that laptop to Kirk and says "now stop asking for more power"
08:09:07 PMSongbird lol
08:09:18 PMrevdjenk Songbird: and if you check around, there may be someone in your neighborhood who can help...
08:09:33 PMGoodGuy98 How does the Kingston compare to Samsung 850 or 950?
08:09:36 PMSongbird I may get my Son to give me a hand. :)
08:09:46 PMGoodGuy98 forgot which is current
08:09:51 PMDooley_da_Vulcan how about using 3d printer to print your own models
08:10:00 PMrevdjenk samsung or kingston are good
08:10:09 PMrevdjenk RobbieF: JeffWeston great show
08:10:10 PMElroy more funny faces

08:11:05 PMrevdjenk free cat5 extras just for the live audience
08:11:15 PMSongbird lol Yes! :D
08:11:16 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Would think you could print your own break out and glue models
08:11:23 PMTSmithGuyHI Did you have to partition the drive first or did you install like last week Ubuntu?
08:11:26 PMElroy put the shoulder grip on Jeff to prove u are Spock
08:11:27 PMrevdjenk oh noes
08:11:42 PMSoundPro69 The video froze
08:11:52 PMElroy great stuff
08:11:54 PMrevdjenk no the show time is over
08:11:54 PMSongbird Freeze frame!
08:11:57 PMJeffWeston no freeze. show feed stopped
08:12:10 PMSongbird Well darn. lol
08:12:20 PMDooley_da_Vulcan if you have nothing on the drive you need to keep you can let ubuntu prepare the drive for you
08:12:20 PMRobbieF Wow thanks folks!
08:12:22 PMSoundPro69 Not the best still picture of you both ha ha
08:12:27 PMrevdjenk well, great show, but trash night is upon me... time to gather and take to the curb
08:12:37 PMJeffWeston haha
08:12:43 PMRobbieF :)
08:12:55 PMTSmithGuyHI when it is a blank drive, Did you have to partition the drive first or did you install like last week Ubuntu?
08:12:59 PMElroy revdjenk: somebodys gotta do the dirty jobs ;-)
08:13:00 PMDooley_da_Vulcan will have to do the youtube thing this week
08:13:08 PMGuest_7025 Great show. Glad to see all is well with RobbieF and family and friends. Have a great week. Goodnight

08:13:15 PMrevdjenk Elroy: yep division of labor
08:13:17 PMRobbieF thanks Guest_7025
08:13:22 PMRobbieF thanks songerbird - great to see you again
08:13:24 PMDooley_da_Vulcan and of course Thumbs Up the video
08:13:30 PMSongbird Thanks and ditto! :D
08:13:30 PMrevdjenk Elroy: she fixes food, I do dishes, etc.
08:13:55 PMElroy thought u were gonna say she fixes food, u eat it. LOL
08:14:05 PMElroy that's the best job
08:14:14 PMrevdjenk Elroy: well, that, too!
08:14:27 PMElroy have a good night all
08:14:33 PMrevdjenk gnite
08:14:40 PMJeffWeston ok all, im going home now...gonna see my wife. yall are great, but i like her alot!
08:14:46 PMTSmithGuyHI Did you have to partition the drive first or did you install like last week Ubuntu?
08:16:17 PMRobbieF TSmithGuy you mean our feature?
08:16:35 PMTSmithGuyHI yes the new blank SSD
08:16:53 PMTSmithGuyHI Did you have to partition the drive first or did you install like last week Ubuntu?
08:16:54 PMRobbieF The Ubuntu Mate installer did all the partitioning for us.
08:16:58 PMRobbieF nope, no pre-partitioning.
08:17:06 PMRobbieF exactly like 2 weeks ago
08:17:08 PMTSmithGuyHI awesome thanks for the answer
08:17:10 PMRobbieF but it was way faster
08:17:18 PMRobbieF my pleasure
08:17:23 PMDooley_da_Vulcan sometimes it asks you what partition is to be root
08:17:27 PMRobbieF https://cat5.tv/ssd for the drive we reviewed
08:18:13 PMDooley_da_Vulcan they have some real inexpensive 120 gig drives that are great for OS drives
08:18:35 PMDooley_da_Vulcan SSD 120GB for $40
08:20:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan and for that price you can do a clone of it to another drive that is identical for a backup. in case you mess up an installation and then just install and clone over the messed up one and pull one back out
08:23:08 PMSoundPro69 Bye bye everyone. Have a good rest of the week!
08:56:53 PMDreamer__ RobbieF I am sure you know but I discovered a flaw in the live website option earlier
08:57:06 PMRobbieF oh yeah?
08:58:10 PMDreamer__ I happen to try to watch after the hour. Your site is obviously using the time to loose the live option after that time and yet I knew the show was still on
08:58:38 PMRobbieF oh you mean > 8pm?
08:58:54 PMDreamer__ well yeah 1am here
08:59:09 PMRobbieF hmm, good point. I'll set it to be a later time just in case we go over.
08:59:19 PMRobbieF we've been doing that a lot lately.
08:59:24 PMRobbieF not as strict as we used to be
08:59:33 PMRobbieF sorry if you missed any of it -- hope you'll catch it on YouTube
08:59:43 PMDreamer__ hard to solve automaticaly
08:59:47 PMDreamer__ sure, thanks
09:00:38 PMRobbieF yes, but I could tell it instead to check if the port is in use and determine it to be online or offline...
09:00:40 PMRobbieF will look into it
09:00:42 PMRobbieF thanks
09:02:29 PMDreamer__ ah ha. I would not worry about it unless you had an automated solution. Sounds like you have.
