| 6:58:04 PM | SashaR | Lets have a great hour !!!
|
| 6:58:33 PM | RobbieF | HI!
|
| 6:58:51 PM | MarshMan | Welcome back Sasha-Lee! Missed you last week but hope you had a great time!!
|
| 6:59:10 PM | Solbu | Connected! :-)
|
| 6:59:32 PM | bp9 | Hi Robbie!
|
| 6:59:36 PM | bp9 | Stream is back YAY
|
| 6:59:37 PM | SashaR | I had a great week... but I am happy to be back!
|
| 6:59:42 PM | bp9 | And Barbie is upright LOL
|
| 6:59:53 PM | MarshMan | Uh-oh! The ugly hated brick background. Snicker snicker.
|
| 7:01:26 PM | TheFu | Does ST have brick walls?
|
| 7:02:50 PM | ABQTKY | Solbu, so...how's your shoulder range of motion?? (Glad you're here...and POSSIBLY typing with both hands.)
|
| 7:03:31 PM | Solbu | ABQTKY: Been typing with both hands for about 3 weeks now. :-)
|
| 7:03:33 PM | bp9 | Now that the weather is warming up, we need Cat5 shirts! LOL
|
| 7:04:07 PM | Solbu | ABQTKY: Had a checkup at the hospital yesterday. The arm is healed, så now I can start using it.
|
| 7:04:58 PM | lichenx1 | sup people, always looking forward to the show
|
| 7:05:10 PM | MarshMan | suuuuppp!!
|
| 7:05:17 PM | ABQTKY | Solbu, good to hear. You'll be 'cooking with gas' very soon!! (sorry for the colloquialism)
|
| 7:08:43 PM | TheFu | People are taught how to drive a car, not how to be a car mechanic.
|
| 7:08:44 PM | Solbu | So, if one is studying that thingn in a cell, is that stem cell research? :-)
|
| 7:09:27 PM | bp9 | DOS... bah!
|
| 7:09:29 PM | lichenx1 | one of my first computers: http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=38398 also had a beige dell like everyone... P III
|
| 7:09:32 PM | TheFu | I took "typing" in high school. ;)
|
| 7:09:47 PM | bp9 | Tandy TRS-80 model 1 and 3, running TRSDOS and NEWDOS
|
| 7:10:07 PM | BobK54 | I took "Regents" typing in high school. State testing at the end of the course. wow...
|
| 7:10:41 PM | TheFu | Girls bring a different view to computing that is lacking.
|
| 7:11:02 PM | bp9 | Robbie, you helped Sasha increase her confidence with her gaming PC build!
|
| 7:11:40 PM | TheFu | https://girlswhocode.com/
|
| 7:12:06 PM | SashaR | Very true ... he did!
|
| 7:14:37 PM | TheFu | There are all sorts of mainly girl/women coding groups around. It seems that women helping each other learn a skill is better for many girls.
|
| 7:17:45 PM | SashaR | That's true, girls really think a little differently.. so being taught by a woman, as a woman is best for me :)
|
| 7:18:14 PM | bp9 | There is very little lag on the stream tonight. nice.
|
| 7:18:38 PM | TheFu | I'm about 30sec behind here.
|
| 7:18:58 PM | lichenx1 | girls design better, it's built in, cheating lol
|
| 7:18:59 PM | Solbu | bp9: Speak for yourself. :-) I've been restarting the stream about 20 times just today.
|
| 7:19:09 PM | GWG | Wait a minute
|
| 7:19:12 PM | GWG | It's Wednesday
|
| 7:19:14 PM | GWG | Totally forgot
|
| 7:19:14 PM | bp9 | Solbu: Sorry :-)
|
| 7:19:44 PM | bp9 | I was watching Sasha type on the keyboard and a few seconds later, her msg appeared on the chat.
|
| 7:20:35 PM | GWG | I was distracted by the snow
|
| 7:20:37 PM | Solbu | 25 restarts…
|
| 7:20:37 PM | TheFu | Appears a segway CPU doesn't need much. Huh?
|
| 7:20:51 PM | Solbu | 26
|
| 7:20:54 PM | GWG | What did I miss? What's with the Barbie?
|
| 7:21:16 PM | TheFu | GWG: That's what you missed.
|
| 7:21:26 PM | MarshMan | GWG: How much snow?
|
| 7:22:29 PM | GWG | I'm not sure. My Weather Station doesn't measure snow, only rain
|
| 7:22:46 PM | GWG | At least half a foot, if not more.
|
| 7:23:16 PM | TheFu | 1ft snow = 1inch rain ... on average. Is that correct?
|
| 7:23:37 PM | MarshMan | Approx
|
| 7:23:51 PM | GWG | I'm not sure. But my weather station has a rain gauge.
|
| 7:23:58 PM | MarshMan | NYC is getting slammed from what I hear
|
| 7:24:49 PM | GWG | MarshMan: It is.
|
| 7:25:16 PM | BobK54 | speaking about robots....BattleBots is coming back again!
|
| 7:25:51 PM | MarshMan | Ulster Cty is on the very edge of the storm and we so far have nothing.
|
| 7:26:06 PM | lichenx1 | I used to watch that all the time
|
| 7:26:34 PM | skywriter64 | HIfrom Very Snowy Brooklyn,NY
|
| 7:26:53 PM | MarshMan | YO! Bklyn
|
| 7:27:10 PM | GWG | skywriter64: Queens here.
|
| 7:27:14 PM | BobK54 | yo Brooklyn, I was born in Canarsie many years ago. :)
|
| 7:27:25 PM | GWG | I try to stay out of Brooklyn.
|
| 7:27:31 PM | TheFu | Standard tablet or proprietary, included, tablet?
|
| 7:28:06 PM | skywriter64 | Borm in Oregon ,but in NYC for over 60 years
|
| 7:28:44 PM | TheFu | Can it fetch a beer?
|
| 7:28:56 PM | GWG | TheFu: That's not a built-in feature
|
| 7:29:27 PM | TheFu | Story: TheFu wants a beer. Create a mission that gets it from the fridge and brings it up 2 flights to the office.
|
| 7:29:47 PM | TheFu | Which reminds me ... Bier-o-clock here!
|
| 7:30:06 PM | SashaR | mmmm beer
|
| 7:30:36 PM | TheFu | Really more of a Bock drinker, but ...
|
| 7:30:44 PM | MarshMan | mmmmmm donuts
|
| 7:35:05 PM | TheFu | Is the flashing headline automatic or is that coded too?
|
| 7:35:24 PM | lichenx1 | buy doll, hack to make your own segway lol
|
| 7:36:16 PM | TheFu | lichenx1: Segway has been pushing quarter height versions for $300 on Amazon. It won't get my bier either.;(
|
| 7:36:42 PM | lichenx1 | lol
|
| 7:37:15 PM | lichenx1 | I started working with mongodb, I might be in love
|
| 7:37:33 PM | skywriter64 | Hi,guys back to tech ,What is the best way(software) to digitize vinyl (records) ?
|
| 7:37:52 PM | TheFu | How is it on snow?
|
| 7:38:47 PM | GWG | skywriter64: They make record players with USB outputs
|
| 7:38:55 PM | GWG | I do love vinyl
|
| 7:40:14 PM | bp9 | Hey JWeston, if you turn it off, then lay it on the table, will it come upright when you power it back up?
|
| 7:40:44 PM | MarshMan | skywriter64: Audacity is supposed to be good
|
| 7:40:47 PM | skywriter64 | GWG, Is software still needed?
|
| 7:40:53 PM | GWG | skywriter64: Yes. Recording software.
|
| 7:41:04 PM | GWG | I use Audacity, which is open source, but there are other products
|
| 7:41:36 PM | bp9 | peeeeeeeeeeeeee!
|
| 7:41:37 PM | Garbee | hiyo
|
| 7:41:40 PM | lichenx1 | yo
|
| 7:41:41 PM | GWG | I'm confined to my house due snow
|
| 7:41:45 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: Back when I was converting my audio collection, I just used audacity and easytag on Linux.
|
| 7:42:06 PM | lichenx1 | I miss the turtles
|
| 7:44:40 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: There are also HW devices that can record audio and video ... which can be much easier - they free up the computer since these are real-time recordings. I use an AgpTek video recording device these days.
|
| 7:45:19 PM | GWG | TheFu: This sort of thing? https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-YPBPR-Recorder-Capture-Device/dp/B00MXK8SGS
|
| 7:46:20 PM | TheFu | Yep. But there is a newer model that has some capabilities I wish I had. If you pair it with an HDMI splitter ... well ... you can record "lots" of things.
|
| 7:46:31 PM | GWG | Such as?
|
| 7:46:45 PM | TheFu | I plead the 5th.
|
| 7:47:03 PM | GWG | TheFu: Legal things you do with it?
|
| 7:47:19 PM | GWG | Until the robots rise up and enslave us
|
| 7:47:32 PM | MarshMan | Everybody leran how to repair robots
|
| 7:47:39 PM | MarshMan | Learn
|
| 7:47:57 PM | GWG | I for one welcome our new robot overlords
|
| 7:47:58 PM | TheFu | It records my Linux presentations between my laptop and projector ... for later muxing with the "talking head" camera.
|
| 7:48:17 PM | TheFu | MarshMan: Or design them.
|
| 7:48:42 PM | MarshMan | TheFu: I'm more of a fixer
|
| 7:49:36 PM | MarshMan | Plattsburgh?? That's barely NY
|
| 7:49:56 PM | skywriter64 | The Fu What is the sound quality of this unit?
|
| 7:51:15 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: It isn't audiofile, but with a clean HDMI input, I haven't had issues with the stereo surround sound (like from 1996). It doesn't do 5.1 or other multi-channel stuff. I blew out 2 Haupauge 1512 systems and gave up.
|
| 7:52:46 PM | bp9 | Yes but the high users still have to pay more for power!
|
| 7:52:46 PM | TheFu | Plattsburgh - has the cheapest power in the USA. Subsidized power. They've had to get non-hydro power and that is passed onto ALL POWER users.
|
| 7:53:02 PM | BobK54 | cant seper
|
| 7:53:02 PM | BobK54 | ato
|
| 7:53:18 PM | BobK54 | cant separate who gets what electrons.
|
| 7:53:32 PM | BobK54 | sorry...cat on keyboard..... :)
|
| 7:53:58 PM | bp9 | But each customer has their own meter, so the power company knows how much to charge based on usage
|
| 7:54:27 PM | TheFu | I pay $0.10 for power. At that town, the businesses pay less than residential customers ... something like $0.015 for the same units.
|
| 7:55:10 PM | TheFu | Crypto currencies have been around over 10 yrs, folks.
|
| 7:55:21 PM | skywriter64 | The Fu, Thanks for the info. Just an idea ,Can I record audio only on a DVD recorder?
|
| 7:55:31 PM | GWG | A business minting money...seems wrong somehow
|
| 7:55:34 PM | bp9 | Jeff, wait until turtle coin gets as large as bitcoin with a huge blockchain
|
| 7:55:42 PM | bp9 | it will be just as slow as bitcoin
|
| 7:56:06 PM | TheFu | and only 5 onsite workers.
|
| 7:56:45 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: I plead the 5th.
|
| 7:57:28 PM | skywriter64 | ?
|
| 7:57:56 PM | ABQTKY | Skywriter64 - audio files are just files - so record 'em...lots of 'em on a DVD...or how about a BD-R??!!
|
| 7:58:40 PM | GWG | There's no traffic in Barrie?
|
| 7:58:43 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: Or I don't understand the question.
|
| 7:59:24 PM | bp9 | Skywriter64: Ripping audio off a DVD is likely not legal.
|
| 7:59:46 PM | skywriter64 | ABQTKY,Veerry Interesting!
|
| 7:59:48 PM | MarshMan | Autonomous ANYTHING in NYC will force me to retire
|
| 7:59:49 PM | ABQTKY | Skywriter64 - if you send audio to the DVD recorder - it's audio. If you send video clips, it would be a bunch of videos on the disc.
|
| 8:00:18 PM | bp9 | But if you want to take audio recordings that you already have in the form of files, you can record them to a writable DVD just like you would a recordable CD
|
| 8:00:52 PM | MarshMan | NYC would add an infinite number of possibilities
|
| 8:01:06 PM | ABQTKY | bp9 - DVD+R or DVD-R - those are recordable DVD discs.
|
| 8:01:30 PM | ABQTKY | bp9 - just like a CD-R - but lots more capacity.
|
| 8:01:41 PM | bp9 | yes but I'm trying to understand Skywriter64's question.
|
| 8:02:07 PM | TheFu | I can't imaging wasting a DVD with an audio formatted DVD. Just wouldn't do that myself. I want digital audio files and can be placed, as data, on any sort of storage medium.
|
| 8:03:01 PM | ABQTKY | bp9 - Skywriter64 wanted to record audio only to a DVD recordable disc. Why not??!! 8-)
|
| 8:03:07 PM | TheFu | About the flying taxi ... there will always be human controlled vehicles on the roads. There are roads with horse and buggy still in rural areas and some cities.
|
| 8:03:24 PM | bp9 | Nothing wrong with that at all.
|
| 8:04:20 PM | MarshMan | I cannot see autonomous vehicles working in congested areas
|
| 8:04:39 PM | TheFu | mpeg2 audio is pretty badly compressed. If going that way, perhaps FLAC would be a better format?
|
| 8:05:20 PM | skywriter64 | bp9,I just want to record vinyl to another format and then to a HDD,
|
| 8:05:22 PM | TheFu | MarshMan: Saw one 1 block from my home last week. I was driving the opposite direction.
|
| 8:05:40 PM | TheFu | skywriter64: Why not go directly to a HDD?
|
| 8:05:54 PM | MarshMan | TheFu: Thankfully right?
|
| 8:06:40 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu - lots of space on a disc - so do you could have LOTS of stuff in FLAC or some such at high bitrate...super uncompressed audio - and without buying some sort of SACD or SuperAudioDVD machine.
|
| 8:06:54 PM | TheFu | MarshMan: It was a nice day here. Sunny, 50+ degF. I've heard they have huge issues with sensors in not-so-great weather.
|
| 8:07:57 PM | TheFu | ABQTKY: But how to control those open sessions with a VHS--
|
| 8:08:11 PM | MarshMan | TheFu: I dream of 50F days. Soon I hope
|
| 8:08:37 PM | TheFu | Me too. Freezing here now.
|
| 8:09:09 PM | TheFu | 58 degF tomorrow. ;)
|
| 8:09:41 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu - huh? When the tape ends and ejects itself you can stop recording on the DVD - then put another tape in the old machine and start the disc gizmo again.
|
| 8:10:07 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu - oh wait - don't forget to rewind that tape!! 8-)
|
| 8:10:24 PM | bp9 | GREAT SHOW guys and gals
|
| 8:10:26 PM | TheFu | ABQTKY: Deosn't that close the session on the DVD? Effectively ending the ability to record anymore to that same disc?
|
| 8:10:32 PM | bp9 | The hour went very quickly
|
| 8:10:47 PM | MarshMan | Jeff has been in and out a couple hundred times
|
| 8:10:56 PM | TheFu | Someone should ban him.
|
| 8:11:01 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu - I don't know - it all just works in Linux!
|
| 8:11:57 PM | TheFu | ABQTKY: But he doesn't need to was a DVD disc if he's already on a real computer? Go directly as recorded to FLAC or AAC or better ogg. ;)
|
| 8:12:04 PM | MarshMan | He's baaaaack
|
| 8:12:15 PM | MarshMan | do do do do do
|
| 8:12:49 PM | TheFu | deh da, da, da?
|
| 8:13:25 PM | bp9 | how cool is that!?!
|
| 8:14:59 PM | MarshMan | Good night gang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
| 8:15:05 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu - umm, why not stage stuff on the hard disk...like all the so-and-so albums in a FOLDER, then all the this-and-that albums in another FOLDER and then just tell XF-Burn or some other (Linux) app to burn all THOSE folders to the disc??
|
| 8:15:10 PM | RobbieF | night all! hope you had fun!
|
| 8:15:21 PM | bp9 | Well done everyone.
|
| 8:15:25 PM | bp9 | Enjoyed it!
|
| 8:15:30 PM | Jweston | night everyone
|
| 8:15:33 PM | BobK54 | night all! good show!
|
| 8:15:54 PM | TheFu | I don't use discs anymore. Haven't since the late 90s.
|
| 8:16:20 PM | GWG | TheFu: Need some? I found a stack of floppies
|
| 8:16:29 PM | skywriter64 | RobbieF, How many Borg Queens are there?
|
| 8:16:40 PM | TheFu | I do organize audio in Genre/Artist/Album/nn-Track-name.ext ...
|
| 8:17:19 PM | TheFu | EasyTag will write the ID3 tags based on directory or move files into directories based on ID3 tags.
|
| 8:17:45 PM | ABQTKY | GWG how about some brand new LS-120 disks?? A massive 120 megabytes on a...floppy!!
|
| 8:18:00 PM | skywriter64 | Thanks for all your help!
|
| 8:18:07 PM | TheFu | GWG: I don't use audio discs. I still use data disks from time to time, but not for music.
|
| 8:18:46 PM | TheFu | Can probably find my 160Kb single-sided diskette from high school ... somewhere.
|
| 8:19:36 PM | TheFu | I kept a 5.25in floppy disk drive to be able to read those disk ... but is isn't installed in any system here.
|
| 8:20:49 PM | GWG | TheFu: I still have a USB 3.5 drive somewhere
|
| 8:21:13 PM | TheFu | I have 2 computers, running today, now, with 3.5in diskette drives.
|
| 8:22:52 PM | TheFu | GWG: Sent a PM.
|
