| 00:27.57 | purple_cow | wow |
| 00:28.04 | purple_cow | that was an unbelievably successful trip |
| 00:41.28 | lurgy | yay 470 |
| 00:45.44 | purple_cow | lurgy: i still think you should storytell a paranoia game :) |
| 00:45.55 | lurgy | heh |
| 00:46.29 | purple_cow | it's a pen-and-paper roleplaying game |
| 00:47.15 | lurgy | :) |
| 00:48.07 | purple_cow | one that i think is ideally suited to your unique brain |
| 00:48.55 | lurgy | hehe |
| 00:49.48 | ChipX86 | uh oh, self-performance reviews |
| 00:50.10 | purple_cow | plus it'd be funny because it would drive jen completely up the wall :) |
| 00:50.33 | lurgy | yeah? :) |
| 00:50.55 | purple_cow | for some reason, she likes her role-playing groups to be these tight-knit parties all working towards the goal |
| 00:51.01 | purple_cow | and that's the complete antithesis of paranoia |

| 00:56.20 | lurgy | hehe |
| 00:57.03 | purple_cow | if framing a party member as a mutant communist traitor will get you a promotion, it is totally to your advantage to do it |
| 00:57.20 | ChipX86 | this sounds fun |
| 00:57.49 | purple_cow | i've been reticent to buy the rulebook until now, since knowledge of most of it is considered grounds for summary execution |
| 00:58.01 | purple_cow | one of the coolest systems i've ever seen :) |
| 00:58.50 | lurgy | summary execution? :) |
| 00:58.53 | ChipX86 | wow |
| 00:58.59 | ChipX86 | scanlime: #vmware (here) |
| 00:59.08 | ChipX86 | this guy is a self-proclaimed vmware guru |
| 00:59.13 | ChipX86 | takes 6 lines to get one thought across |
| 00:59.17 | purple_cow | lurgy: well, as a character, you get 6 clones. because a clone dying isn't the end of the game for someone, it tends to happen often :) |
| 01:00.14 | lurgy | teehee |
| 01:00.16 | purple_cow | of course, noone can stop people from looking up the rules, but if their character shows knowledge beyond their clearance, they're obviously a traitor |
| 01:00.31 | purple_cow | its a fun game :) |
| 01:02.09 | lurgy | hehe |
| 01:02.48 | purple_cow | lurgy: i've gotten confirmation that if you're participating and it doesn't conflict with d&d, darth_mall is in ;) |
| 01:03.16 | lurgy | well, we'll see :) |
| 01:04.46 | purple_cow | Remember that being watched constantly is just The Computer's way of showing its love for us all. It wants to protect us always, even from ourselves. |
| 01:33.33 | scanlime | whew |
| 01:33.40 | scanlime | so that was fun... |
| 01:33.54 | scanlime | the guy at Fry's insisted that the cheapest DVI to HDMI cable they had was $90 |
| 01:34.23 | scanlime | I walk over from the home theater area of the store to the computer cables, and there's one for $50. Still overpriced, but the cheapest I've seen locally.. and not a monster cable! |
| 01:34.32 | scanlime | I think it still might be gold-plated though :( |
| 01:34.47 | purple_cow | hah |
| 01:34.51 | scanlime | also, apparently here you have to be 18 to buy those computer duster cans |
| 01:34.58 | purple_cow | rofl |
| 01:35.02 | scanlime | the clerk actually ID'ed me.. do I really look under 18? |
| 01:35.58 | purple_cow | you're close :P |
| 01:36.03 | scanlime | heh. thanks :P |
| 01:36.26 | scanlime | ah well. at least I found a dolly big enough to bring my TV inside, when they deliver it sometime in the next 3.5 hours... |
| 01:38.56 | file | scanlime: excited?!? |
| 01:39.09 | scanlime | I'm not looking forward to moving it... |
| 01:39.11 | scanlime | but yeah, kinda ;) |
| 01:39.19 | scanlime | Fry's actually had the exact same model on display |
| 01:39.22 | scanlime | with a much better input signal |
| 01:39.32 | scanlime | and the price was almost exactly $1000 more :P |
| 01:39.46 | file | eep |

| 01:52.04 | file | o.o |
| 01:52.23 | pagefault | whats up |
| 01:52.27 | pagefault | it's the chicken going to my head |
| 01:52.40 | scanlime | is this 'special' chicken? |
| 01:52.43 | file | nothin' nothin' |
| 01:52.49 | file | scanlime: Swiss Chalet is always special chicken |
| 01:52.55 | file | pagefault: what did you end up getting? |
| 01:53.01 | scanlime | so.. Swiss Chalet is how canadia gets its LSD? |
| 01:53.08 | pagefault | I went with the classic quarter chicken dinner |
| 01:53.34 | file | pagefault: predictable. |
| 01:53.39 | scanlime | "Hello, I'd like a quarter chicken with cheese, hold the mayo.. and biggie fries!" |
| 01:53.55 | file | scanlime: chicken fries! |
| 01:54.14 | scanlime | I think the fries are just 90% oil anyway |
| 01:54.15 | purple_cow | "Which quarter, sir?" |
| 01:54.21 | scanlime | :) |
| 01:54.30 | scanlime | the outside quarter? |
| 01:56.38 | file | time to get ctrlproxy going again |
| 01:57.10 | file | erm actually nah |
| 02:02.31 | scanlime | so hungry... |
| 02:03.20 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 02:03.27 | purple_cow | maybe i'll wait until my tummy calms down a bit |
| 02:05.44 | scanlime | wow. this DVI cable is actually a resonable thickness! |
| 02:05.51 | scanlime | thinner than a normal VGA cable |
| 02:07.05 | ChipX86 | I'm surprised. The laptop is still powered on |
| 02:07.33 | scanlime | is it on AC power? |
| 02:07.35 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 02:08.03 | ChipX86 | we'll see how it goes over the weekend |

| 02:46.31 | file[laptop] | bah |
| 02:46.40 | file[laptop] | some weird movie on Space, I think I've seen it |
| 02:46.40 | pagefault | how do jabber clients communicated? |
| 02:46.43 | pagefault | err communicate? |
| 02:46.50 | pagefault | through a server or peer to peer? |
| 02:54.59 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/ (11 files): Let's see if this will work |
| 02:55.06 | file | wow |
| 02:55.07 | file | it did |
| 02:55.31 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/gemini_distribute.c: Add distribution module that routes calls evenly across all 7 drones |
| 03:00.52 | scanlime | hrmm |

| 03:01.48 | pagefault | brb |
| 03:02.05 | purple_cow | slimspace, darth_mall: what do you think for a code name? |
| 03:03.53 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/ (gemini.c gemini.h gemini_distribute.c gemini_progress.c): Move distribution function to ser.cfg instead of being absolutely tied to gemini_new_call |
| 03:10.31 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/gemini_progress.c: |
| 03:10.31 | CIA-5 | asterlink: Add capability so if the call is not routed anywhere, and we reply with a status and the user agent |
| 03:10.31 | CIA-5 | asterlink: sends a CANCEL - we send back a 200 OK to keep them happy. I like SIP. Honest. |
| 03:11.05 | file | stupid SIP |
| 03:11.52 | pagefault | sip sip that wine |
| 03:13.44 | file | that fix I just added was interesting |
| 03:13.52 | file | SER was trying to route the CANCEL to itself, so it went into a loop |
| 03:13.59 | pagefault | silly file |
| 03:14.09 | file | I'm *guessing* 200 OK is the right behavior |
| 03:15.01 | file | so pagefault, what'cha doing tomorrow? |
| 03:15.06 | pagefault | not sure |
| 03:15.12 | pagefault | probably work on my company web page some more |
| 03:15.21 | file | ooh is it online? |
| 03:15.25 | pagefault | not yet |
| 03:15.28 | pagefault | i'm still working on it offline |
| 03:15.38 | file | bah |
| 03:15.40 | pagefault | i'm going to have to write a booking system to place service call appointments |
| 03:16.07 | file | well that's not bad |

| 03:25.25 | scanlime | not yet... |
| 03:25.26 | scanlime | :( |
| 03:25.32 | purple_cow | aw |
| 03:25.37 | scanlime | supposed to be here in the next 30 minutes |
| 03:28.22 | purple_cow | listened to hey tomcat yet? :) |
| 03:28.26 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/ (gemini.c gemini.h gemini_progress.c gemini_progress.h): |
| 03:28.26 | CIA-5 | asterlink: Add triggers. These allow you to manipulate the state of a call from ser.cfg |
| 03:28.26 | CIA-5 | asterlink: For example, you can trigger ringing or busy which then shows up in the CDR. |
| 03:28.31 | scanlime | hmm.. where was that? |
| 03:28.38 | purple_cow | david.navi.cx/tmp |
| 03:28.42 | purple_cow | it will blow your mind |
| 03:28.43 | scanlime | hmm.. blam... |
| 03:28.47 | CIA-5 | asterlink: 03jcolp * 10gemini/gemini_trigger.c: Let's add the module as well shall we? |
| 03:28.52 | scanlime | new mono site has a good screenshot section :) |
| 03:29.58 | scanlime | wow |
| 03:31.54 | scanlime | damn.. I sure can download fast from david.navi.cx :) |
| 03:32.16 | scanlime | I think this is going to need a few listens to actually sink in at all :) |
| 03:32.21 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 03:34.54 | scanlime | very trippy |
| 03:40.19 | scanlime | mmm |
| 03:57.34 | purple_cow | hmm. i suppose it's not hard to rename an svn repo |
| 04:03.14 | ChipX86 | I'm sure this will come as a big shock to everbody |
| 04:03.19 | ChipX86 | but the laptop keeps dying |
| 04:03.22 | ChipX86 | *grrr* |
| 04:03.27 | pagefault | windows is crashing all over the place |
| 04:03.40 | ChipX86 | how the hell did they not find anything wrong with this? |
| 04:04.12 | darth_mall | oooh |
| 04:04.18 | darth_mall | so purple_cow we need a codename |
| 04:04.28 | purple_cow | darth_mall: yep |
| 04:04.33 | darth_mall | it needs to rock |
| 04:04.44 | purple_cow | my vote is that we continue to beat-the-dead-horse and call it threevo :) |
| 04:04.55 | scanlime | wasabi |
| 04:05.02 | ChipX86 | oh my god |
| 04:05.08 | ChipX86 | google is now frightening me |
| 04:05.14 | ChipX86 | see slashdot |
| 04:05.17 | nullpuppy|Work | god dammnit |
| 04:05.35 | ChipX86 | wait a seconcd |
| 04:05.40 | ChipX86 | hahahaha |
| 04:05.47 | ChipX86 | slashdot quoted The Onion as an actual source?! |
| 04:05.54 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 04:06.08 | purple_cow | that's about the same caliber as quoting pravda |
| 04:06.11 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 04:06.15 | darth_mall | oh... Deep Rising |
| 04:06.20 | ChipX86 | except The Onion is perhaps more well known as being fake |
| 04:06.25 | purple_cow | yep |
| 04:06.31 | purple_cow | darth_mall: do you have any thoughts? |
| 04:06.35 | purple_cow | other than "the mongooses" ? |
| 04:07.10 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 04:07.17 | darth_mall | I wasn't actually going to say that, cuz I've said it more than enough |
| 04:07.22 | ChipX86 | if google did say that stuff, I'd be worried, but it's funny if it's The Onion |
| 04:07.23 | nullpuppy|Work | ChipX86: haha awesome |
| 04:08.36 | nullpuppy | there we go, finally decides to try to reboot |
| 04:08.44 | ChipX86 | you could call it Naming Conundrum |
| 04:09.00 | nullpuppy | what are you trying to name? |
| 04:09.07 | darth_mall | my first born child |
| 04:09.16 | nullpuppy | name him Thor |
| 04:09.23 | purple_cow | darth_mall: well, you think. i'm going to go buy myself a pinot noir. |
| 04:09.41 | darth_mall | don't fall in |
| 04:10.28 | darth_mall | wow |
| 04:10.34 | darth_mall | this movie is too stupid even for me |
| 04:11.50 | nullpuppy | hrm.. I really need to get rid of the beta xp64 I'm running.. need to either revert to regular old xp, or get a copy of the released xp64 |
| 04:13.34 | numist | yay spray paint |
| 04:17.26 | file[laptop] | nullpuppy: they have a trial one |
| 04:32.53 | purple_cow | darth_mall: any ideas? |
| 04:42.20 | darth_mall | 'fraid not |
| 04:45.27 | purple_cow | darth_mall: so i'm thinking of doing paranoia on the saturdays that you guys aren't doing d&d |
| 04:45.50 | darth_mall | purple_cow: sure |
| 04:46.13 | darth_mall | did you get a book? |
| 04:46.21 | purple_cow | time warp ordered one for me |
| 04:46.34 | darth_mall | time warp comics? |
| 04:46.38 | purple_cow | apparently mongoose picked up the rights to it and put out a new edition last year which is supposed to be fantastic |
| 04:46.40 | purple_cow | darth_mall: yeah |
| 04:46.42 | darth_mall | cool |
| 04:47.35 | purple_cow | it will be funny and full of gruesome death |
| 04:47.40 | darth_mall | yay |
| 04:48.01 | darth_mall | so you've definitely not had any problems with x-g and gtk 2.8.3, huh? |
| 04:48.09 | purple_cow | nope |
| 04:48.11 | darth_mall | hmm |
| 04:48.14 | purple_cow | works peachily |
| 04:49.35 | darth_mall | I've had what appears to be two different problems on my laptop and desktop after upgrading =\ |
| 04:51.56 | scanlime | wooo |
| 04:52.10 | purple_cow | scanlime: arrived? |
| 04:52.18 | scanlime | I didn't realize the cheap delivery included them bringing it inside and assembling the stand |
| 04:52.23 | scanlime | I was worried about getting it out of the box myself |
| 04:52.33 | scanlime | but yeah, it's in my living room now displaying lovely NTSC snow :) |
| 04:52.35 | purple_cow | cool |
| 04:52.35 | scanlime | time to take yoshi down and bring it in there |
| 04:52.42 | scanlime | :) |
| 04:52.42 | scanlime | ok |
| 04:53.28 | scanlime | one of the delivery guys was staring at my bookcase kinda oddly :) |
| 04:55.31 | purple_cow | scanlime: why? |
| 04:57.47 | scanlime | dunno |
| 05:01.55 | file[laptop] | woot my pinky toe is not hurting that much... and isn't swollen, I think |

| 06:00.16 | scanlime | :) |
| 06:00.52 | ChipX86 | bah |
| 06:00.57 | ChipX86 | now gstreamer isn't seeing a bunch of my Dido songs |
| 06:01.40 | ChipX86 | or the Hookahman song I was playing yesterday? wtf |
| 06:01.51 | ChipX86 | probably some stupid algorithm of theirs |
| 06:02.06 | ChipX86 | a number of these are in my other playlists.... interesting |
| 06:04.20 | ChipX86 | hahaha |
| 06:04.22 | ChipX86 | great. |
| 06:04.31 | ChipX86 | I had a " " in my search box, and so it only showed multi-word songs |
| 06:04.45 | rioter | haha |
| 06:04.52 | ChipX86 | that mystery is solved :) |
| 06:04.56 | nullpuppy | haha |
| 06:05.14 | nullpuppy | good ol pebkac ;) |
| 06:05.18 | ChipX86 | yep |
| 06:05.54 | ChipX86 | I should write a patch that checks for that. If you just type in a space, it goes, "No, you fool!" |
| 06:06.07 | nullpuppy | lol |
| 06:06.34 | rioter | haha |
| 06:06.45 | rioter | but what if you want to search for spaces one day |
| 06:06.58 | ChipX86 | "No, you fool! [Yes] [No] [Cancel]" |
| 06:07.09 | nullpuppy | s/Cancel/Maybe/ |
| 06:07.13 | ChipX86 | see? solves all problems |
| 06:07.49 | nullpuppy | actually... no.. better yet... change Yes/No/Cancel to LOL/OMG/WTF |
| 06:08.02 | scanlime | wow |
| 06:08.05 | purple_cow | that's not better :P |
| 06:08.09 | scanlime | this manual contains the word "Digitalization" |
| 06:08.25 | nullpuppy | hehe, that all depends on what you mean by better :) |
| 06:08.35 | nullpuppy | scanlime: nice |
| 06:08.40 | scanlime | "SYMPTOMS: Digitalization of image, image freeze up SOLUTIONS: Re-orient the ATSC antenna" |
| 06:08.52 | nullpuppy | haha |
| 06:09.01 | ChipX86 | I hate it when my images are digitalized |
| 06:09.27 | scanlime | it shows a little picture of a person on a TV, covered by what I can only assume are space invaders |
| 06:09.35 | scanlime | they could be atari bees |
| 06:09.42 | nullpuppy | lol |
| 06:09.52 | ChipX86 | haha |
| 06:10.00 | ChipX86 | space invaders are the numbe rone cause of distortion |
| 06:10.13 | purple_cow | i blame them for the picture problems on the first TV i bought |
| 06:10.19 | scanlime | yep |
| 06:10.24 | scanlime | who doesn't? |
| 06:10.32 | ChipX86 | Mint bum jelly love child! |
| 06:10.46 | scanlime | aha, the table of supported resolutions |
| 06:12.26 | ChipX86 | woops, perhaps I should stop maxing out chipx86.com's connection |
| 06:12.51 | purple_cow | blah! |
| 06:13.02 | purple_cow | something in this new kernel is causing freevo to make unionfs panic |
| 06:13.11 | purple_cow | but if i just do things on the cmdline, it's fine |
| 06:13.11 | scanlime | unionfs is good at panicing |

| 07:05.38 | scanlime | hmm.. no luck with these modelines |
| 07:06.10 | scanlime | lots of recommendations for HDTV DVI stuffs to use this 'powerstrip' program.. which seems to be a much more powerful xvidtune-like program for windows |
| 07:06.17 | scanlime | but it seems to use the same modeline formats as X :) |
| 07:06.18 | ChipX86 | powerstrip is good |
| 07:06.27 | ChipX86 | I use it for my standard tv |
| 07:08.40 | scanlime | got the brightness turned way way down.. a winxp install seems like a perfect recipe for burnin :P |
| 07:09.18 | scanlime | hmm.. wonder if subpixel antialiasing is any good on here :) |
| 07:12.11 | scanlime | I still have no idea why this machine had a half-finished windows install on it |
| 07:15.43 | scanlime | ooh |
| 07:15.53 | scanlime | Super Monkey Ball supports 480p in 16:9 |
| 07:16.14 | scanlime | Super Smash does 480p but not 16:9 :( |
| 07:22.55 | ChipX86 | awww :( |
| 07:22.59 | ChipX86 | you should patch it |
| 07:23.23 | ChipX86 | make something like game genie, but for CDs! and rewrite the drawing code |
| 07:24.16 | scanlime | :) |
| 07:24.23 | scanlime | ew.. component video cables for the gamecube are $35 |
| 07:24.30 | scanlime | what's the deal with making video cables so darn pricey? |
| 07:24.38 | ChipX86 | they are if you go through nintendo |
| 07:24.41 | ChipX86 | I think you can get third party ones |
| 07:24.46 | ChipX86 | I thought Frys had some |
| 07:24.50 | scanlime | I haven't seen third-party cables on froogle |
| 07:24.54 | scanlime | but I'll check fry's tomorrow |
| 07:24.55 | ChipX86 | oh, hmm |
| 07:24.56 | scanlime | need gamecube.... |
| 07:25.00 | ChipX86 | what yes |
| 07:25.01 | ChipX86 | er |
| 07:25.02 | ChipX86 | yes |
| 07:34.17 | scanlime | hmmm |
| 07:34.28 | scanlime | even over composite video the gamecube looks pretty good on here |
| 07:34.32 | scanlime | can't wait for progressive scan |
| 07:34.49 | ChipX86 | how much was the TV? |
| 07:34.50 | *** join/#tacobeam file[lap1op] (n=jcolp@mctnnbsa30w-156034035106.nb.aliant.net) |
| 07:36.18 | scanlime | $1800.. so $2000 after tax and the $60 delivery fee |
| 07:36.30 | ChipX86 | good TV so far? |
| 07:36.32 | scanlime | I think today was the last day of the sale though |
| 07:36.43 | scanlime | quite good. I haven't got the DVI working yet though |
| 07:36.43 | ChipX86 | it'll be a while before I buy one anyway, so prices will probably go down |
| 07:36.51 | scanlime | nod |
| 07:37.00 | scanlime | the contrast on this is amazing |
| 07:37.31 | scanlime | it's also really good at processing analog signals- even over composite video, the picture is so stable |
| 07:38.02 | scanlime | ahhh |
| 07:38.12 | scanlime | my brother's going to love playing video games with me on this thing when he visits :) |
| 07:38.25 | ChipX86 | I'll have to see it sometime :) |
| 07:38.43 | scanlime | :) |
| 07:39.19 | scanlime | this thing has so many inputs I might not need the uvswitch :( |
| 07:39.57 | purple_cow | the uvswitch is better than those |
| 07:39.59 | purple_cow | since it does detection |
| 07:40.26 | scanlime | nod |
| 07:40.34 | scanlime | but the uvswitch doesn't do component video :( |
| 07:41.13 | scanlime | too bad this game isn't 16:9.. |
| 07:42.33 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 07:44.56 | purple_cow | so you have lanes for every type of video you want, right |
| 07:45.04 | purple_cow | then you make both inputs *and* outputs stackable |
| 07:45.32 | purple_cow | each input board would have sound + some kind of video |
| 07:45.44 | scanlime | ooooh |
| 07:45.48 | purple_cow | then the output would be one board for sound plus additional boards for each kind of video you wanted to be able to output |
| 07:45.53 | scanlime | no 16:9 on mario kart, but f-zero has it! |
| 07:45.55 | purple_cow | and you can mix & match depending on your hardware |
| 07:46.01 | scanlime | cool :) |
| 07:46.15 | scanlime | so which part would do the up/downconversion? |
| 07:46.51 | purple_cow | you'd never convert |
| 07:47.07 | purple_cow | so you'd always have a matching output type for each input |
| 07:47.12 | scanlime | ah, ok |
| 07:47.14 | scanlime | mmm... |
| 07:47.16 | scanlime | this is great |
| 07:47.18 | purple_cow | in my case, i'd have both svideo & composite cables going to the TV |
| 07:47.20 | scanlime | but now I neeed progressive scan |
| 07:47.37 | scanlime | oh my god |
| 07:47.44 | scanlime | f-zero at 42" is nearly nausea inducing :) |
| 07:47.47 | purple_cow | then you could tell the host which type of video a particular source was on, in case the TV didn't auto-detect |
| 07:47.49 | ChipX86 | haha |
| 07:49.05 | purple_cow | hmmm...that would be a super cool switch system :) |
| 07:49.12 | scanlime | yup |
| 07:49.48 | purple_cow | scanlime would have his ueberswitch that handled component as well as everything else, i'd have my mid-size one, and people like us in the old apartment would just have component :) |
| 07:50.18 | scanlime | component, s-video, and DVI :) |
| 07:50.39 | scanlime | though I doubt I'll have more than one DVI source, unless I get a standalone progressive scan DVD player |
| 08:05.37 | purple_cow | yay, mplayer cvs is working again |
| 08:06.31 | scanlime | heh. comcast DNS dead again... |
| 08:07.13 | scanlime | the mx1000 doesn't work well on carpet :( |
| 08:08.39 | ChipX86 | ok, bed time.. and then visiting Chico. See everyone Monday |
| 08:47.58 | scanlime | sigh. I can get an I2C connection to this TV over the DVI port |
| 08:48.03 | scanlime | and I can see the list of supported modes |
| 08:48.05 | scanlime | but still no picture |
| 08:48.27 | scanlime | I might need a Geforce 6800 with its fancy HDTV support to run this |
| 08:48.42 | scanlime | ah well. bedtime.. I get to look into that and a TV stand tomorrow :P |

| 17:39.41 | scanlime | with one green eye and one purple cat eye |
| 17:45.12 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 17:49.54 | scanlime | but.. this card has component video out it seems |
| 17:50.08 | scanlime | so even if it's supposedly HDTV-compatible DVI output actually isn't, I have that |
| 17:51.15 | numist | your missing a comma between compatible and DVI, I think |
| 17:52.40 | scanlime | uh |
| 17:52.50 | scanlime | if anything, it should be s/it's/its/ |
| 17:52.51 | scanlime | :P |
| 17:52.58 | scanlime | the DVI output is what's supposedly HDTV-compatible |
| 17:53.03 | scanlime | on this card |
| 17:53.26 | scanlime | I'm sure component will work, but this TV is awfully picky about the DVI signals it chooses to like |
| 17:57.01 | numist | right.. even if its supposedly HDTY-compatible, DVI output actually isnt ;) |
| 18:04.09 | scanlime | how's that? |
| 18:04.27 | numist | or maybe Im on crack this morning and cant read |
| 18:04.29 | scanlime | plenty of HDTV equipment uses DVI natively |
| 18:04.46 | scanlime | and HDMI, which is the new all-digital home theater connector they're pushing, is just a new plug for DVI video plus digital audio |
| 18:04.51 | numist | ooh I see what you were trying to say previously |
| 18:04.53 | numist | I shut up now |
| 18:05.49 | scanlime | but anyway.. looks like the GeForce 6200 is the cheapest card out there that has all of nvidia's HDTV funness |
| 18:05.58 | purple_cow | scanlime: i would hope your card supports component out ;) |
| 18:06.13 | scanlime | purple_cow: well, with actual RCA plugs rather than a HD-15 ;) |
| 18:07.00 | purple_cow | :) |
| 18:07.06 | purple_cow | err |
| 18:07.29 | scanlime | anyway.. now I have plenty of power to run a disgustinly lavish 3D user interface |
| 18:07.33 | purple_cow | most component i've seen uses BNC... |
| 18:07.35 | scanlime | with vertex shader grass in the background |
| 18:07.45 | purple_cow | scanlime: hehehe |
| 18:07.48 | scanlime | purple_cow: workstation monitor component uses BNC, consumer electronics component uses RCA |
| 18:08.06 | purple_cow | ah |
| 18:08.27 | scanlime | red, green, and blue RCA plugs :P |
| 18:08.34 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 18:08.38 | purple_cow | so...RGsB? |

| 18:17.00 | numist | I gathered |
| 18:17.09 | purple_cow | both onboard and other brands |
| 18:17.23 | purple_cow | since the sound situation in windows is a lot better |
| 18:17.40 | numist | I was under the assumption that creative had a stranglehold on the sound card market |

| 21:07.57 | scanlime | something with chicken, I think |
| 21:08.03 | file | good idea |
| 21:08.10 | scanlime | uh.. now this disk is clicking |
| 21:08.22 | scanlime | but not in a way I recognize |
| 21:10.20 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 21:10.21 | scanlime | eww |
| 21:10.35 | scanlime | I think you were right :( |
| 21:11.42 | purple_cow | :( |
| 21:11.47 | purple_cow | don't you live right by a fry's though? |
| 21:11.51 | scanlime | +5V is at 4.43 now... |
| 21:11.57 | scanlime | yes, I live right by a few fry's :) |
| 21:12.24 | scanlime | but I'm going to see if I can get this winxp install to work, while I let the meter keep monitoring minimum voltage peaks |
| 21:12.32 | scanlime | ooh, 4.35 |
| 21:13.33 | scanlime | I'm about as excited at replacing this power supply as I am about buying a $200 TV stand :( |
| 21:15.34 | purple_cow | :( |
| 21:24.22 | Sophie197 | comon baby don't fear the reaper |
| 21:24.27 | Sophie197 | we'll be able to fly |
| 21:28.08 | scanlime | hmm, the windows install is mostly done |
| 21:28.16 | scanlime | and the voltage hasn't gone below 4.35 |
| 21:28.23 | scanlime | kinda disgusting, but it seems usable |
| 21:58.01 | scanlime | UGG |
| 21:58.12 | scanlime | same power dialog box... also hundreds of times |
| 21:58.23 | scanlime | guess that's just a bug in their driver, rather than the hard disk's fault |
| 22:05.40 | purple_cow | cool! |
| 22:06.28 | scanlime | =) |
| 22:06.55 | purple_cow | i think we'll probably either go with that or pybzengine, since ogre's the only one that's really got the features we want so far |
| 22:06.58 | purple_cow | like pbuffer support :P |

| 22:42.18 | scanlime | hmm |
| 22:42.29 | scanlime | still no DVI, but component video looks really good even running over audio RCA cables :) |
