| 6:59:59 PM | Solbu | Kodi-stream is Go for launch. :-)
|
| 7:00:44 PM | Dennis_Kelley | RobbieF your so twelve sometimes!
|
| 7:00:46 PM | Garbee[m] | hiya
|
| 7:01:29 PM | Garbee[m] | West Virginia isn't a state!
|
| 7:01:57 PM | Dennis_Kelley | woop woop
|
| 7:02:08 PM | Dennis_Kelley | oh nevermind
|
| 7:03:18 PM | bp9 | Hmm, so Canadian $ is about the same as Aussie $??
|
| 7:06:02 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Thanks to the Post Office we will deliver your amazon packages for you!
|
| 7:06:19 PM | SashaR | Big thank you!!!!
|
| 7:06:23 PM | Garbee[m] | I hate it when game console controllers get sticky buttons from being pressed too much.
|
| 7:06:46 PM | Garbee[m] | It's like the controllers hate being used for their only purpose to exist.
|
| 7:06:48 PM | SashaR | I know what you mean!!
|
| 7:07:09 PM | bp9 | Stop dripping coffee and soft drink on your controller buttons! LOL LOL LOL
|
| 7:07:22 PM | rrdevcoder | Hello, first timer here.
|
| 7:07:31 PM | Garbee[m] | Coffee never, soft drink nope.
|
| 7:07:45 PM | Garbee[m] | The problem is a lot of games i play have long-press effects.
|
| 7:07:52 PM | BobK54 | @DK: my son complains about all the amazon packages. he works at a small PO near one of the amazon distribution facilities.
|
| 7:08:06 PM | Garbee[m] | So over time, the buttons just decide "Oh, I'll stay pressed for you for the next 10 seconds." which messes up commands.
|
| 7:08:13 PM | rrdevcoder | Watching on web site from NY
|
| 7:08:30 PM | SashaR | My laptop space bar has that same attitude
|
| 7:08:57 PM | rrdevcoder | You haven't switched to commercial
|
| 7:09:17 PM | rrdevcoder | Cooooooool!!!
|
| 7:09:22 PM | bp9 | They put commercials in post production
|
| 7:09:29 PM | rrdevcoder | Who cares.
|
| 7:09:30 PM | b_withage | contest address again pls
|
| 7:09:45 PM | rrdevcoder | I've been watching for 30 hours
|
| 7:10:09 PM | Garbee[m] | Good to have you back Jeff.
|
| 7:10:21 PM | Garbee[m] | I did miss you for the like 2 years you left us.
|
| 7:11:00 PM | SashaR | hahaha... it feels like it's been forever
|
| 7:14:27 PM | Solbu | … sometimes it's perfect…
|
| 7:14:34 PM | rrdevcoder | The full rule is I before E except after C except when it's A as in neighbor or weigh and weird is just weird.
|
| 7:14:51 PM | SashaR | and Dirmeitis
|
| 7:15:01 PM | rrdevcoder | touche
|
| 7:15:08 PM | SashaR | ;)
|
| 7:15:13 PM | bp9 | LUKSDUMP!
|
| 7:15:22 PM | SashaR | oh my
|
| 7:16:09 PM | bp9 | I'm guessing Jeff isn't watching the chat room :-)
|
| 7:16:54 PM | Garbee[m] | Youtube is doing that now.
|
| 7:17:03 PM | SashaR | Nope... or he would be rolling on the floor
|
| 7:17:05 PM | Garbee[m] | Commercials are so loud, videos are quiet.
|
| 7:17:15 PM | bp9 | yup :-)
|
| 7:17:23 PM | Solbu | I was a sound engineer / technician on radio before anyone used compressors in broadcasting.
|
| 7:17:32 PM | Garbee[m] | Thankfully, the US has regulated commercial volume levels for a few years. So the cable side of that has been solved. Sadly, doesn't affect YouTube or other things like it online.
|
| 7:17:36 PM | SashaR | It's on my list of things I would change if I had some wishes granted
|
| 7:18:17 PM | Dennis_Kelley | BobK54 I work at a small PO here in Michigan, and we get a ton of packages!
|
| 7:19:10 PM | BobK54 | DK, he's in Borden Indiana but was closer to lousiville where the amazon facility dumped most of their shipments for while.
|
| 7:19:32 PM | BobK54 | the jeffersonville IN amazon facility that is....
|
| 7:20:22 PM | Solbu | So, wine? :-)
|
| 7:20:49 PM | bp9 | @Solbu, that would be my guess
|
| 7:23:28 PM | bp9 | I tend to wonder about Windows and Mac... since the Mac is BSD unix under the covers, surely a linux port would be almost trivial?
|
| 7:24:13 PM | SashaR | great guess!!!
|
| 7:24:19 PM | RobbieF | yu would think so
|
| 7:26:10 PM | bp9 | @Solbu, you called it. Well done.
|
| 7:26:15 PM | bp9 | :-)
|
| 7:26:24 PM | Solbu | :-)
|
| 7:26:33 PM | Solbu | Personally I stay away from wine.
|
| 7:26:48 PM | SashaR | why?
|
| 7:27:03 PM | Solbu | It have a bad tendency of associating filetypes with it own wine equivalents.
|
| 7:27:37 PM | SashaR | what do you use instead?
|
| 7:27:41 PM | Solbu | Like, it will often associate audio files with a wine app.
|
| 7:28:19 PM | bp9 | @Sasha, I will always try to find a linux app with equivalent functionaliity.
|
| 7:28:32 PM | bp9 | Failing that, I guess I'd write it.
|
| 7:28:34 PM | Solbu | SashaR: I am a Free Software activist, so I never use proproetary Windows programs.
|
| 7:28:54 PM | SashaR | ahhhh, Solbu! you are awesome!
|
| 7:29:11 PM | bp9 | But I'd really want to want that functionality before opting for the "develop -it" approach.
|
| 7:29:40 PM | Solbu | SashaR: THis means I don't even use proprietary linux drivers. If i can't do something with Free software, I am not doing it.
|
| 7:29:53 PM | GWG | Oh, I just got home, but there is still show left, isn't there?
|
| 7:30:08 PM | Solbu | SashaR: So my laptops usually don't have wifi as a result.
|
| 7:30:12 PM | SashaR | there is!!! the news room hasn't even started yet :)
|
| 7:30:45 PM | GWG | More non-pronounciation theater?
|
| 7:31:07 PM | bp9 | Oh that windows screen looks scarey
|
| 7:31:50 PM | SashaR | yep.... I'm fairly horrible at names. I try though!!
|
| 7:32:19 PM | GWG | SashaR: I challenged you and RobbieF to pronounce the places I went on my last business trip and didn't get a bite.
|
| 7:32:52 PM | SashaR | That would be a great game!!!!! I'm all in :)
|
| 7:35:35 PM | GWG | SashaR: I started in Bunratty, and took Busreireann to Limerick Station, where I changed at Limerick Junction and Mallow before getting to Killarney. From Killarney I took a bus to Cahersiveen and walked a mile to my hotel dragging a 23KG suitcase. After two nights in Cahersiveen, I got a lift to Killorgin where I spent a night at the Bianconi, then got a lift to the airport in Farranfore.
|
| 7:35:41 PM | GWG | SashaR: Try pronouncing that.
|
| 7:36:00 PM | SashaR | after the show... or on the next break I will!!!!
|
| 7:36:16 PM | GWG | SashaR: Prouncing it is easier than doing it.
|
| 7:36:27 PM | SashaR | GWG... you will laugh
|
| 7:36:28 PM | GWG | I will skip the visit I made to Sneem.
|
| 7:36:42 PM | bp9 | So I'd pronounce it: Bunratty, Busreireann... LOL
|
| 7:37:02 PM | SashaR | bahaha bp9
|
| 7:37:25 PM | GWG | Watching ELY002 ascend through 10,3000 feet.
|
| 7:37:38 PM | GWG | I have my ADS-B scanner up.
|
| 7:38:08 PM | GWG | JBU356 is descending through 26500
|
| 7:38:49 PM | bp9 | GWG, I can't see anything around you, only about 30-50 miles away from me. Mine is just a USB stick and I can't believe how well it works.
|
| 7:39:13 PM | GWG | bp9: Mine is a USB stick connected to a large antenna, hooked into a Pi.
|
| 7:39:31 PM | GWG | I'm getting about 50-60 miles
|
| 7:39:53 PM | bp9 | I love Jeffs fake response!
|
| 7:39:56 PM | Solbu | Ahh, so it mutes the audio. ;-)
|
| 7:39:56 PM | GWG | But I'm equidistant from LGA and JFK, so I get some nice traffic. If I moved my antenna to the roof, I could do better
|
| 7:40:28 PM | GWG | Hmm..there's ACA549 taking off for YVR
|
| 7:40:33 PM | BobK54 | GWG: Lawn Guy Land?
|
| 7:40:37 PM | bp9 | GWG, I'm not sure a huge antenna makes that much difference because you're tuned to 1090MHz
|
| 7:40:48 PM | GWG | bp9: It isn't huge
|
| 7:40:56 PM | bp9 | Sasha get your thingy ready
|
| 7:41:18 PM | bp9 | GWG, my bad, I meant "large" :-)
|
| 7:42:04 PM | rrdevcoder | out loud
|
| 7:42:28 PM | GWG | SashaR: I started in Bunratty, and took Busreireann to Limerick Station, where I changed at Limerick Junction and Mallow before getting to Killarney. From Killarney I took a bus to Cahersiveen and walked a mile to my hotel dragging a 23KG suitcase. After two nights in Cahersiveen, I got a lift to Killorgin where I spent a night at the Bianconi, then got a lift to the airport in Farranfore.
|
| 7:43:00 PM | bigkitty | hi
|
| 7:43:34 PM | Solbu | SashaR: Well played! :-)
|
| 7:43:34 PM | GWG | Not even close
|
| 7:43:53 PM | bp9 | Sasha, Nice job!
|
| 7:43:55 PM | BobK54 | Bazinga!
|
| 7:44:35 PM | RobbieF | she just said edinborough
|
| 7:45:00 PM | bp9 | @Robbie I'm glad you clarified that :-)
|
| 7:45:01 PM | GWG | RobbieF: I'll be happy to send you to Ireland. But...I assume you want to come back.
|
| 7:45:52 PM | GWG | I think I was happier when the farthest they sent me was 20 minutes from my house.
|
| 7:46:15 PM | bp9 | Oh wow, I have about a 15 second lag in the video
|
| 7:46:40 PM | Solbu | BIOS password…
|
| 7:47:44 PM | bp9 | The zaps will continue until morale improves :-)
|
| 7:50:10 PM | Solbu | Hehehe.
|
| 7:50:57 PM | GWG | RobbieF: Speaking of technical speak, what you want to do is connect your Atomic Vector Plotter into a small brownian motion producer.
|
| 7:51:53 PM | Gopher2 | There is evidence that your gut bacteria is linked to parkinsons disease.
|
| 7:53:08 PM | bp9 | Jeff, Robbie made the perfect point earlier: we must understand the brain far more than we do now before any of what you suggest can happen.
|
| 7:54:02 PM | RobbieF | true, but when has "lack of understanding" stopped researchers from pushing hte limits as it is
|
| 7:54:37 PM | bp9 | Agreed. No argument there.
|
| 7:54:54 PM | Solbu | jeff: Researchers never publish or test anything without fully understanding the subject. ;-)
|
| 7:54:56 PM | bp9 | Just because we can do it doesn't mean we should.
|
| 7:55:24 PM | RobbieF | hahaha true Solbu, but thats just the ones they write about
|
| 7:56:04 PM | TheFu | Looks like I missed the show. ;(
|
| 7:56:49 PM | Gopher2 | I thought uber said it was a bug bounty payment
|
| 7:57:11 PM | rrdevcoder | Regarding drones there is an ipad app called B4UFly giving details on laws regarding flying them in the US.
|
| 7:58:37 PM | RobbieF | yes i am...said that at the beginning haha
|
| 7:59:06 PM | RobbieF | oh thats a cool app. we will have to look at it
|
| 7:59:50 PM | bp9 | Jeff, I missed that. Laughing so hard at your pronunciation efforts LOL
|
| 8:03:01 PM | bp9 | Yay, good job Sasha!
|
| 8:03:20 PM | SashaR | thank you!!!
|
| 8:03:46 PM | GWG | bp9: I made the people in Cahersiveen tell me how to pronounce it.
|
| 8:04:35 PM | bp9 | GWG: LOL! Same was true of the people in the town of Albany, Western Australia.
|
| 8:04:55 PM | bp9 | The first A is stressed in their pronunciation.
|
| 8:05:25 PM | GWG | bp9: How do you pronounce Chili, NY?
|
| 8:05:52 PM | bp9 | Chili, NY.
|
| 8:05:58 PM | TheFu | ;)
|
| 8:06:06 PM | GWG | bp9: Phonetically?
|
| 8:06:20 PM | bp9 | I would pronounce it the same as the dish.
|
| 8:06:22 PM | GWG | Nope.
|
| 8:06:23 PM | Garbee[m] | Chilley No Yark
|
| 8:06:25 PM | GWG | Chy-lie
|
| 8:06:28 PM | TheFu | I'd try "chil - eeeee"
|
| 8:06:32 PM | bp9 | Yep, Sasha got Albany correct
|
| 8:06:37 PM | GWG | You call it Chili, they beat you up
|
| 8:06:59 PM | bp9 | 'causa Sasha rocks. :-)
|
| 8:07:02 PM | Garbee[m] | I found a PS2 emulator and it plays my fav game ever mostly fine on my desktop.
|
| 8:07:02 PM | TheFu | Rough place?
|
| 8:07:06 PM | Garbee[m] | I've been very happy the past 6 hours.
|
| 8:07:29 PM | TheFu | Garbee[m]: SOCOM?
|
| 8:07:49 PM | Garbee[m] | The game is: Star Ocean - Till the End of Time
|
| 8:07:55 PM | Garbee[m] | Massive RPG game.
|
| 8:08:00 PM | Solbu | RobbieF, SashaR: 13C? Here in Trondheim (Norway) it's -5C
|
| 8:08:06 PM | Garbee[m] | Two full discs of content.
|
| 8:08:41 PM | Gopher2 | 13C would be nice
|
| 8:09:14 PM | SashaR | It was a one day thing... it's cold today!!!
|
| 8:09:38 PM | Solbu | jeff: Close enough. :-)
|
| 8:09:40 PM | Garbee[m] | TheFu: I don't think it will handle shooters well on my system. It laggs a bit at times with this game. And with Sly Cooper and the Thevious Racounus it is jittery to all hell.
|
| 8:09:53 PM | TheFu | here in Punta Natales, Chile ... it is 10C
|
| 8:11:01 PM | bp9 | A great show guys and gals.
|
| 8:11:11 PM | Gopher2 | Aren't you in summer in chile?
|
| 8:11:45 PM | TheFu | Gopher2: Just starting summer. Sunset was at 9:42p - about 30min ago.
|
| 8:12:10 PM | Gopher2 | oh night temperature
|
| 8:14:26 PM | TheFu | I'm pretty far south. ... S 51 deg 13 min.
|
| 8:14:41 PM | TheFu | Walked on a glacier yesterday.
|
| 8:15:03 PM | TheFu | for a few hrs.
|
| 8:15:42 PM | Gopher2 | cold up their then on glacier even in summer
|
| 8:15:48 PM | TheFu | Garbee[m]: my ps2 is still working great.
|
| 8:16:13 PM | Garbee[m] | Mine broke a long time ago.
|
| 8:16:25 PM | Garbee[m] | But one game isn't worth getting another really.
|
| 8:16:38 PM | Garbee[m] | Nor is it to get a PS4 and buy the digital copy on there.
|
| 8:16:44 PM | TheFu | Gopher2: Layers ... on the glacier, it wasn't very cold. Just windy. On the zodiac to get to the glacier, it was 2-4 layers including extra pants.
|
| 8:17:10 PM | TheFu | Garbee[m]: nobody selling their old PS2?
|
| 8:18:45 PM | Garbee[m] | TheFu: People are but, $80+ish then the game which is hard to find new from a trustworthy place is not worth it still.
|
| 8:20:31 PM | TheFu | Garbee[m]: I can understand. I haven't powered mine on in years. Picked up a few of those "Best of" PS2 games from a used game place for $0.50 each. 1 of the games never worked. The others did, but I'm 10+ yrs behind and would prefer real life action.
|
| 8:20:42 PM | TheFu | If it is safe enough.
|
| 8:21:13 PM | Garbee[m] | I'm really just replaying this one a bit for funzies. Testing it on my laptop tomorrow and praying it will be decent enough (but I doubt it.)
|
| 8:21:25 PM | Garbee[m] | If it will run, then I'll be playing this on my flight to California next week.
|
| 8:21:34 PM | TheFu | I was addicted to Spy HUnter.
|
| 8:21:37 PM | Garbee[m] | Otherwise, i'll be playing old Game Boy Advance games to pass the time.
|
| 8:22:29 PM | TheFu | I like to play ATC games when sitting on long flights.
|
| 8:23:05 PM | TheFu | Have a few flights Sat... 4 hrs to Santiago, then a 10+ hr overnight back to the USA.
|
| 8:23:34 PM | bp9 | I got retropi working a while ago and I found out that I suck at playing those games now just like I did then. LOL LOL LOL
|
| 8:24:27 PM | TheFu | bp9: I can wipe anyone on Space Invaders on an Atari 2600, but that doesn't help with newer games or consoles.
|
| 8:25:22 PM | bp9 | TheFu: Yeah, I never really got into the new first person shooters. Looking at some of the twitch streams I'm often wondering what the point of some of those games are?
|
| 8:26:01 PM | Solbu | Speaking of games, I played a few rounds of minesweeper just before the show went live.
|
| 8:26:25 PM | Solbu | I played the advanced level and won 2 times. :-)
|
| 8:26:32 PM | bp9 | Solbu: Nice!
|
| 8:26:35 PM | TheFu | bp9: I enjoyed SOCOM .. 2, 3, and Ace Combat games. Tried MGS, but found it less than gripping. Pherhaps if I had a teen to help.
|
| 8:27:18 PM | bp9 | The old DOOM game was about as far as I got with that genre of games.
|
| 8:27:37 PM | TheFu | I didn't have a system that could do DOOM.
|
| 8:27:48 PM | bp9 | I do enjoy minetest but not much fun when you're the only person in the world. :-)
|
| 8:28:02 PM | bp9 | TheFu: Got linux? then you can do doom.
|
| 8:28:02 PM | TheFu | My gaming these days is mostly Android tablets - Endless ATC.
|
| 8:28:22 PM | bp9 | I think it's called chocolate-doom (of all things) on linux.
|
| 8:28:59 PM | bp9 | ATC: Air Traffic Control?
|
| 8:29:04 PM | TheFu | bp9: I'm almost 100% linux. Just use Windows to record TV (free schedule data for USA locations) and edit out all the commercials (video redo plus).
|
| 8:29:18 PM | TheFu | Yep. ATC.
|
| 8:29:38 PM | TheFu | I enjoy pushing tin.
|
| 8:30:22 PM | bp9 | Ah, so you're the feller on the other end who won't give me Flight Following? :-)
|
| 8:32:02 PM | TheFu | bp9: Probably not. These are stand-alone android games.
|
| 8:33:22 PM | bp9 | I've been playing with a linux flight sim called FlightGear. It's a lot of fun especially if you have the proper control yokes, etc.
|
| 8:33:45 PM | bp9 | Some of the players can act as ATC if they network in to the game.
|
| 8:34:12 PM | bp9 | ...although I've never tried that, I like to do the actual flying.
|
| 8:35:59 PM | TheFu | I played with Flight Gear one afternoon. Picked an island somewhere and a mustang - something simple for me to fly. Those guys seem pretty serious. Basically, they treat the big airports just like the big airports work. from what I can tell.
|
| 8:36:53 PM | bp9 | True enough but you don't have to play by their rules; you can pretty much do what you want.
|
| 8:37:53 PM | bp9 | I'd pick a small airport and just go play around there.
|
| 8:38:15 PM | TheFu | Sorry - I'm completely wiped. Can't keep my eyes open. More hiking tomorrow. Did 18.5 miles today according to the fitbit. Did to the base of Torres del Paine today.
|
| 8:38:20 PM | bp9 | I've also got an old book of flight sim adventures, and I've been having fun re-creating those flights.
|
| 8:38:40 PM | bp9 | No worries, enjoy the hike.
|
| 8:38:46 PM | TheFu | So ... I can land a V-tail bonanza on the taxiway (like someone famous) and not get into trouble?
|
| 8:39:00 PM | bp9 | sure!
|
| 8:39:33 PM | TheFu | 'uh ... I think I just landed on the taxiway. Missed a 7-heavy.'
|
| 8:39:43 PM | TheFu | I'm a smuck.
|
| 8:39:53 PM | bp9 | LOL!
|
| 8:40:47 PM | TheFu | https://www.theguardian.com/film/video/2017/mar/25/harrison-ford-to-air-traffic-control-im-the-schmuck-who-landed-on-the-taxiway-audio
|
| 8:53:52 PM | Solbu | Speaking of flying: Bruce Dickinson, the Iron Maiden singer, was on a norwegian talkshow (Skavland) last friday, where he was asked why they always fly their own jet when they have concerts. He said it was because one of the members have a fear of flying, but that he trust Bruce to do the job.
