07:10:23 PMGoodGuy98 Hi Dennis_Kelley
07:10:24 PMSparklyballs maybe jeff's ghost is putting a spanner in the works ?
07:10:26 PMrevdjenk chriskeevinlee: what's the question
07:10:27 PMABQTKY Too bad you couldn't use those Ubiquiti gizmos from Studio D back to your home, RobbieF
07:10:37 PMDonBatman I will have to watch later. Not good enough to watch
07:10:45 PMSparklyballs that guy just hold up a cheese grater ?
07:10:47 PMDooley_da_Vulcan what about any of the other root folders? I have other drives I can use to store it on
07:11:14 PMGoodGuy98 They should all get new versions Dooley_da_Vulcan
07:11:16 PMSoundPro69 Sorry. Unwatchable today. I'll catch it on download tomorrow or Thursday.

07:11:32 PMrevdjenk oh, now its working... oh... buffer ...
07:11:36 PMGoodGuy98 Home has the vast amt of your customizations
07:12:03 PMDooley_da_Vulcan my only problem with waiting to watch, is 5 minutes after I go away is it starts working
07:13:48 PMchriskeevinlee sort of @RobbieF still buffering alot
07:14:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan their server location has no AC and as it cools down outside the server is cooling down a bit????
07:14:14 PMKelseyJ Darn :/
07:14:56 PMABQTKY I hope that data center isn't out this way - triple digit temps!!
07:15:13 PMSparklyballs the sound is gonna come on the tv and scare the bejeebus out of me any second now......
07:17:55 PMDooley_da_Vulcan what does it connect to ?
07:18:17 PMSparklyballs my tv ?
07:18:32 PMKelseyJ I think its bluetooth so anything with a bluetooth connection
07:18:57 PMKelseyJ or do you mean the server?
07:18:59 PMDooley_da_Vulcan double exposure
07:19:08 PMDooley_da_Vulcan communicator
07:19:44 PMSparklyballs who makes it (the communicator) ?
07:20:11 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I bet it is made by Massive Dynamics lol
07:20:45 PMSparklyballs i have some sound, but now the video is frozen....
07:21:20 PMSparklyballs 5 more mins and i'm gonna watch a movie.
07:22:34 PMKelseyJ It was made by The Wand Company Sparklyballs
07:23:13 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I am guessing nobody picked up the Massive Dynamics nod???
07:23:59 PMABQTKY Dooley, I know it's a joke - I just don't know the joke. 8-|
07:24:05 PMDooley_da_Vulcan am I that much more nerdy or geeky....lol
07:24:15 PMABQTKY I guess,
07:24:19 PMSparklyballs if it's a media reference, i never get those.
07:24:44 PMDooley_da_Vulcan on Fringe the person that started Massive Dynamics was a character named William Bell, played by Leonard Nimoy
07:25:01 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF - I bought this for you at a garage sale a few weeks ago and forgot about it until this show
07:25:03 PMRobbieF \o
07:25:04 PMGoodGuy98 https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Effects-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B000001P04
07:25:05 PMSparklyballs one of the uk tech shows did a feature on the wand company stuff a fair while ago...
07:25:08 PMRobbieF Hope it's holding up at least OKAY
07:25:12 PMRobbieF https://cat5.tv/trek
07:25:33 PMABQTKY Ah. I have a few seasons of that. maybe I'll get around to watching some!!
07:25:54 PMGoodGuy98 Let me know if you already have it, so I don't have to get my wife to drop me off at the post office
07:26:44 PMDooley_da_Vulcan it must be real cold there.......they keep freezing
07:27:10 PMGoodGuy98 It is 91 here, so likely not that cold in Barrie ON
07:28:07 PMSparklyballs oh, and i saw them on dragons den... it wasn't a tech show... lol.
07:29:46 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Bad Kelsey bad Kelsey
07:29:54 PMDooley_da_Vulcan how is it dangerous?
07:30:03 PMDooley_da_Vulcan the legit version
07:30:41 PMGoodGuy98 how about using a VPN to download it.. pretend to be from USA
07:31:18 PMGoodGuy98 Opera Developer has a free VPN built-in (on Windows at least)
07:32:11 PMGoodGuy98 I used it to watch Best Recipes Ever from Canada and it worked in the USA when I tested it once
07:32:45 PMGoodGuy98 lol
07:33:10 PMGoodGuy98 Child Porn criminals
07:33:36 PMGoodGuy98 Dark Web
07:34:01 PMABQTKY An intermittent "Dome of Silence" - that's what it must be!!
07:34:04 PMSparklyballs ok, i'm out. i'll watch OD when it's uploaded... cya folks........
07:34:19 PMDooley_da_Vulcan but the legit use for it would be to have it delete non important conversations and images after a while. I am sure I know some that have messages and pics on phones that are 3 years old or more...lol
07:34:20 PMGoodGuy98 Bye Sparklyballs
07:34:38 PMDooley_da_Vulcan bye Sparklyballs
07:35:08 PMGuest_1530 I have to go this show is so broken picture is frozen voice is very jumpy
07:36:02 PMDooley_da_Vulcan they almost never have any issues but their service providers and their co services
07:36:58 PMDooley_da_Vulcan they are having issues which sucks when a tech show is using your services to broadcast
07:38:21 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Hello alpeck, it will be obvious they are having technical issues
07:38:32 PMRobbieF Hey all!
07:38:40 PMalpeck thanks, didn't know yet if it was me
07:38:52 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Hello @RobbieF and @KelseyJ
07:42:00 PMDooley_da_Vulcan is the chat room sslow scrolling
07:42:08 PMGoodGuy98 Geez - still 91f at 7:41 pm
07:42:28 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Where are you at GoodGuy98
07:42:31 PMGoodGuy98 A/C is working overtime and can't keep up
07:42:38 PMGoodGuy98 Detroit MI area
07:42:40 PMDooley_da_Vulcan only 83f here
07:42:52 PMGoodGuy98 83f sound nice :-)
07:42:53 PMDooley_da_Vulcan wow it is hotter up north than down here
07:43:10 PMGoodGuy98 Where is down here?
07:43:19 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Indianapolis Indiana
07:43:58 PMGoodGuy98 You are lucky... They hold the DCI drum corps world championships there in Aug
07:44:34 PMDooley_da_Vulcan ummmm..... not a big fan of drum line
07:44:42 PMGoodGuy98 I always wanted to see one, but can't travel
07:45:13 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I always figured it would be like watching Drumline the movie
07:45:19 PMDooley_da_Vulcan could be very wrong
07:45:24 PMGoodGuy98 They have all kinds of instruments nowadays.. much to annoy the old time purists
07:45:35 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I am sure....lol
07:46:10 PMGoodGuy98 Corps have all kinds of percussion and various horns, synthizizers
07:46:12 PMDooley_da_Vulcan under your case
07:46:18 PMGoodGuy98 spelled wrong
07:46:34 PMDooley_da_Vulcan they fell off and you sat tray on top of them
07:46:50 PMGoodGuy98 Youtube has plenty of videos.. newer ones in HD
07:46:55 PMDooley_da_Vulcan @ RobbieF under packaging
07:48:12 PMGoodGuy98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsnVhHHg324
07:48:30 PMGoodGuy98 That has bits from various 2015 shows
07:50:15 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I was in an exhibition drill team in HS we spun rifles, actual rifles and not the wooden versions,
07:50:43 PMGoodGuy98 not loaded I hope :-)
07:50:58 PMDooley_da_Vulcan lol, no and they were heavy as heck
07:51:21 PMGoodGuy98 I marched in a color guard, but carried a flag
07:51:50 PMGoodGuy98 I like the rifles, but I had to quit before learning them
07:52:21 PMGoodGuy98 I was a moron and quit HS, so I had to return and go both day and night
07:52:58 PMDooley_da_Vulcan since I did it in ROTC it was real rifle or nothing and dangerous. I whacked myself in the back of the ear once....
07:53:06 PMGoodGuy98 Luckily I was double promoted earlier in school, so I graduated when I should have
07:53:53 PMDonBatman RobbieF put it back in the package and ship it to me!
07:54:15 PMGoodGuy98 a couple all male drum corps had really good rifle lines
07:54:40 PMDooley_da_Vulcan No biggie about the HS quitting, I myself quit after 2 years. I was bored and irritated. ADHD has that effect. I took the GED test 8 years later and passed.
07:55:05 PMDooley_da_Vulcan just buy a bunch of rechargable batteries
07:55:46 PMGoodGuy98 I was in love with a girl and she said return to school or find another GF
07:56:22 PMDooley_da_Vulcan that is where you ask her find another GF, what will I do with 3?
07:56:22 PMGoodGuy98 Ironic part was she broke it off when I went to a local community college
07:56:32 PMDooley_da_Vulcan lol
07:56:54 PMDooley_da_Vulcan why, what did she find wrong with a Comm College
07:57:32 PMGoodGuy98 We dated for four years and that would be another two before marrying I assumed
07:58:20 PMGoodGuy98 It worked out ok... I didnt ruin my future thanks to her
07:59:09 PMGoodGuy98 Met my wife a few months later
07:59:11 PMDooley_da_Vulcan gearbest 99+ amazon 146+ hmmm
08:02:06 PMDooley_da_Vulcan well that is good to hear that you found the one
08:03:00 PMGoodGuy98 So far no one in my family has ever been divorced, so we are lucky.. small family though
08:03:24 PMorangeman thank for you remarks Robbie bid get all as audio is breaking up but will see video tomorrow
08:03:31 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I have had a couple of sisters divorce I think
08:03:48 PMDonBatman Only an hour this week?
08:04:08 PMGoodGuy98 It really hurts from what I have been told
08:04:10 PMDooley_da_Vulcan good night @ KelseyJ and @ RobbieF
08:04:21 PMorangeman they try best to kept show runing
08:04:33 PMDooley_da_Vulcan yes they do
08:05:11 PMDooley_da_Vulcan and the show was here, limited but here. and I made it at least. last 2 weeks I was working
08:05:20 PMGoodGuy98 Have to watch this weeks show tomorrow
08:05:36 PMDonBatman They are awesome good hearted people
08:06:11 PMABQTKY RobbieF, you should have called Scottie on the Communicator - betcha he could have fixed the streaming anomalies!!
08:06:49 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I have tried to find some nerds or geeks here in Indianapolis, always nice to have conerds or cogeeks to interact with
08:07:02 PMDooley_da_Vulcan but no real luck
08:07:31 PMorangeman scottie was beam up few years go it might be difficult to get contect
08:07:48 PMABQTKY Oh, yeah.
08:08:08 PMGoodGuy98 Is RobbieF watching here?
08:08:09 PMDonBatman Dooley_da_Vulcan look for groups like ants that get together to build nerd type projects
08:09:33 PMDooley_da_Vulcan back when I was always dialed into a 16 line local BBS I had folks all over town but now that so many are online finding people close to you has actually become harder
08:10:02 PMDonBatman GoodGuy98 Post production is the hard part of the show. He is most likely running around like crazy to get the show finished up
08:10:12 PMGoodGuy98 His name is greyed out, so he must be afk
08:10:22 PMGoodGuy98 Thank you DonBatman
08:11:20 PMRobbieF what's up GoodGuy98?
08:11:24 PMGoodGuy98 I saw a Star Trek Sound Effects CD at a garage sale a couple weeks ago and forgot about it
08:11:30 PMGoodGuy98 https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Effects-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B000001P04
08:11:49 PMGoodGuy98 Do you already have that CD RobbieF ?
08:12:11 PMDonBatman GoodGuy98 they are likely wanting to get the video out as soon as they can this time because of the streaming issues
08:12:16 PMorangeman good night robbief
08:12:23 PMRobbieF yes GoodGuy98
08:12:26 PMGoodGuy98 If not, I'll have to find a box to mail it
08:12:27 PMRobbieF night orangeman nice to see you
08:12:41 PMGoodGuy98 Ok.. no problem
08:12:41 PMRobbieF GoodGuy98 I don't have the physical CD just the download
08:12:48 PMGoodGuy98 Ok
08:12:57 PMRobbieF how'd you like the communicator?
08:13:21 PMDonBatman RobbieF I missed most of the show. :(
08:13:23 PMGoodGuy98 I was debating the idea of making an ISO from the CD, but it seems illegal
08:13:25 PMRobbieF aww
08:14:09 PMGoodGuy98 It was pretty neat.. a cell phone is pretty much a Star Trek communicator
08:14:28 PMRobbieF yeah but this is the REAL DEAL :)
08:14:39 PMDonBatman Make you kind of miss the flip phones
08:15:01 PMGoodGuy98 I know... but when Star Trek was on TV, it was only a dream at that time
08:15:39 PMDooley_da_Vulcan there is a facebook group that I am in called vintage computer club
08:16:31 PMDonBatman Funnny story. The guy who come up with the cellphone idea was rejected by AT&T because they told him no one would want to walk around with their phone
08:17:10 PMGoodGuy98 I read that's about what some big shot at IBM once said about the Personal computer
08:17:29 PMGoodGuy98 Only a few people would ever buy something like that
08:17:48 PMDonBatman Dooley_da_Vulcan keep looking cause there are lots of groups. They usually meet up once or twice per month
08:18:43 PMGoodGuy98 We go to an older restaurant around here... They have an old phone booth near te bathrooms
08:18:49 PMDooley_da_Vulcan there is a group here that is linux based, CINLUG but it is far enough away that it could be a pain in the but.
08:18:52 PMDonBatman GoodGuy98 I think I remember reading that. Even Bill Gates was turned down by many people
08:19:16 PMDooley_da_Vulcan any of you watching or watched Halt and Catch Fire"
08:19:21 PMGoodGuy98 Now they use it to store cleaning equipment.. amazing how small it is
08:19:33 PMABQTKY GoodGuy98, One of these days, I'll try to read through the Memorex-Telex suit against IBM from decades ago. There's rumored to be lots of interesting stuff relevant to early PCs.
08:19:58 PMDooley_da_Vulcan great show
08:20:01 PMGoodGuy98 There is a story that some big shots called on the author of CP/M
08:20:21 PMGoodGuy98 he supposedly flew around in a small plane and left them waiting
08:20:33 PMABQTKY That was Gary Kildall.
08:20:58 PMGoodGuy98 Eventually they got fed up, looked at Bill Gates and he ended up the wealthiest man alive
08:21:05 PMGoodGuy98 Yes ABQTKY
08:21:22 PMGoodGuy98 I have read that story wasn't totally factual
08:21:35 PMGoodGuy98 Not sure which is accurate
08:21:46 PMGoodGuy98 brbias... meds
08:23:03 PMABQTKY Gates didn't have anything to sell to IBM - he sort of put 'em on hold, bought something from others in Seattle, and called the IBM guys back. THEN he became the richest guy in the world.
08:27:22 PMGoodGuy98 I didnt know that part
08:27:57 PMABQTKY Ancient (computer) history!!
08:27:59 PMGoodGuy98 I thought he wrote somthing while at Princeton
08:28:24 PMABQTKY Gates was a Harvard dropout, not Princeton.
08:28:43 PMGoodGuy98 Most of the richest guys dropped out college
08:29:08 PMGoodGuy98 Hmm I thought it was Princeton
08:30:38 PMGoodGuy98 Wikipedia says Harvard
08:30:54 PMABQTKY 8-)
08:30:55 PMGoodGuy98 Guess he wasnt poor then
08:31:11 PMABQTKY His father's a bigshot lawyer.
08:31:43 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Pirates of Silicone Valley Anthony Michael Hall and Naoh Wyle great movie
08:31:46 PMGoodGuy98 I wouldn't mind being fairly well off
08:32:04 PMABQTKY Me neither!!
08:32:25 PMGoodGuy98 But not like him... I would fear someone trying to kidnap family
08:32:40 PMDooley_da_Vulcan in the movie he sold IBM DOS before he even had DOS
08:32:52 PMABQTKY Right!!
08:32:56 PMGoodGuy98 Guess they can afford quality bodyguards
08:33:50 PMABQTKY Somehow the IBM guys slipped up and let him sell DOS himself...with a slightly different name.
08:34:04 PMGoodGuy98 The guy that sold Minecraft said he is much unhappier after becoming rich
08:34:34 PMABQTKY The IBM guys don't slip up like that very often.
08:34:42 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I would really like to have the troubles that come with it rather than the ones that come with not having money
08:34:47 PMGoodGuy98 That's for sure
08:35:14 PMGoodGuy98 If you have enough, but not way too much would be best
08:35:23 PMABQTKY Money can't buy happiness...but neither can poverty.
08:35:49 PMGoodGuy98 My mom used to say health is worth more than money
08:36:08 PMGoodGuy98 at the time, I though with money you could buy health
08:36:20 PMGoodGuy98 Doesnt work that way
08:37:07 PMGoodGuy98 Our son was frustated I have medical issues and said just go to the doctor
08:37:26 PMGoodGuy98 years later he had some of the same issues plus others
08:37:50 PMGoodGuy98 He went to tons of doctors and very liitle results
08:38:12 PMGoodGuy98 all of the radiation likely caused him to ger leukemia
08:38:41 PMGoodGuy98 a DNA study said he had a gene that made it more likely
08:38:47 PMGoodGuy98 get
08:41:39 PMGoodGuy98 better run..night ABQTKY and Dooley_da_Vulcan
08:41:52 PMABQTKY TTYL
08:43:59 PMDooley_da_Vulcan but with enough money you can have everything taken care of so you can spend time with family and friends which is what makes most happy, so if you have money and cannot manipulate yours and your familys issues around so you can just spend time together. that is buying hapiness
09:09:12 PMRobbieF Night all. Thanks for being here.
