| 04:59:10 | Snake- | wha the TuxPod sounds crppy |
| 04:59:13 | Snake- | crappy* |
| 04:59:27 | Snake- | i want to stick with TuxBox |
| 04:59:34 | Snake- | in my opinion |
| 05:02:50 | Snake- | BTW |
| 05:02:56 | Snake- | HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |
| 05:09:55 | Coderjoe | TuxPod? WTF?!? |
| 05:12:57 | Coderjoe | [00:11:36] <Coderjoe> TuxPod? WTF?!? |

| 06:15:24 | Snake- | CoderJoe |
| 06:15:27 | Snake- | you there? |
| 06:27:43 | Snake- | hey |
| 06:34:18 | Snake- | ooo |
| 06:34:20 | Snake- | netsplit |
| 06:34:22 | Snake- | kool |
| 06:38:47 | Snake- | hello |
| 15:56:54 | Knghtbrd | one of these days they'll fix this network. |
| 15:57:17 | Knghtbrd | 'course by then I'll have white hair. |
| 15:57:24 | Knghtbrd | Er, wait, I already do, nevermind. |
| 16:13:45 | Coderjoe | haha |
| 17:11:11 | jsheedy | anyone here? |
| 17:11:49 | Knghtbrd | no |
| 17:11:59 | jsheedy | ok |
| 17:12:04 | Knghtbrd | We're out on a covert mission |
| 17:12:45 | jsheedy | here is a chassis you might want to checkout http://www.areasys.com/area_asp/info/dolphin.asp |
| 17:13:07 | Knghtbrd | Skulking about Redmond in search of the best places to set the charges that will settle all of the outstanding grievances with Microsoft and Nintendo alike. |
| 17:13:22 | Knghtbrd | knows the case HE wants, but has no clue where to find one |
| 17:13:23 | Knghtbrd | =p |
| 17:14:25 | Knghtbrd | ack, that is some evil scary bit of JavaScript on that page |
| 17:14:33 | Knghtbrd | sliding menus and all |
| 17:14:50 | jsheedy | yeah |
| 17:15:13 | Knghtbrd | Also, I am a bit worried about the specs I'm reading |
| 17:15:27 | Knghtbrd | that's a barebones system of the wrong type |
| 17:15:32 | jsheedy | all can be swapped |
| 17:15:39 | jsheedy | PS faceplate MB |
| 17:16:37 | jsheedy | we use this system as a POS |
| 17:16:42 | Knghtbrd | personally wants a Lian-Li PC-62, but that's for his workstation of course, not his Tuxbox dev system |
| 17:17:05 | Knghtbrd | Nobody sells the PC-62 - it isn't as case modder friendly as the PC-60 series |
| 17:17:29 | Knghtbrd | (the 60's have the optional plexiglass window panel) |
| 17:17:53 | Knghtbrd | That's rather prized given the difficulties cutting aluminium cases of any quality |
| 17:19:54 | Knghtbrd | The 62 is a bit longer front to back. Which is fine by my reckoning since the typical case has drives sticking out over the mainboard and cables blocking airflow |
| 17:20:50 | Knghtbrd | I'm not much of a modder. Neither am I an overclocker. But I do tend to dabble in the former as if I were one of the latter. |
| 17:21:32 | Knghtbrd | The thought of a standard fan intake now seems foolish to me. I always cut mine out. |
| 17:22:35 | jsheedy | I keep everything pretty muck as is |
| 17:22:38 | Knghtbrd | I bunch my drive cables as best I can, and have been planning to get rounded ribbon cables as soon as the price became low enough or the cables that cost so much became a high enough quality to warrant the extra cost.. |
| 17:22:43 | Knghtbrd | (both have now happened FWIW) |
| 17:22:53 | Knghtbrd | Rounded IDE cables are pretty cheap these days |
| 17:23:25 | Knghtbrd | And the "silver" ones are better still, they're shielded with an extra ground lead that runs to a drive screw or so. |
| 17:23:48 | Knghtbrd | They're a might expensive, but then so are the Lian-Li's |
| 17:25:05 | Knghtbrd | but that's fine, I'll pay the money for a quality case, and the silver rounded cables are both higher quality than traditional 80 wire ribbons and improve airflow |
| 17:25:50 | jsheedy | I suppose |
| 17:25:50 | Knghtbrd | In my paranoia, I have never lost a component to overheating. =) |
| 17:25:58 | jsheedy | I don't use ide that much |
| 17:26:18 | jsheedy | use SCSI |
| 17:26:23 | Knghtbrd | Not since my old 486 power supply in .. it would have been September 1995. |
| 17:30:13 | Knghtbrd | Once bitten, twice shy |
| 17:30:19 | jsheedy | Does this project have a progress chart? |
| 17:30:25 | Knghtbrd | I wish |
| 17:30:35 | Knghtbrd | Half the time I don't know what the hell they're doing |
| 17:31:19 | jsheedy | The pictures I have seen are not promising |
| 17:31:56 | Knghtbrd | The rat's nest of hardware? |
| 17:32:06 | jsheedy | Yep |
| 17:32:20 | jsheedy | and the UI screenshots |
| 17:32:23 | Knghtbrd | That's to be expected for the first prototype |
| 17:32:32 | Knghtbrd | Ahh, those I have not yet taken the time to look at |
| 17:32:45 | Knghtbrd | I could design a decent UI, but I've no time to code it |
| 17:33:07 | jsheedy | work or school? |
| 17:33:12 | Knghtbrd | I'm more interested in the hardware end of things and the necessary things I must do to support the software end of it. |
| 17:33:22 | Knghtbrd | Yes. |
| 17:33:31 | Knghtbrd | Mostly Project Twilight actually |
| 17:33:49 | Knghtbrd | but I consider that a job even though it's not one which pays me a dime. |
| 17:34:23 | jsheedy | I have limited programming knowledge, just gone back to school to study after seven years |
| 17:34:43 | jsheedy | hard to get back into the groove |
| 17:34:59 | Knghtbrd | I'm probably going to go back to school just because I have little income (and little bills) at the moment |
| 17:35:37 | jsheedy | Wish I would have goon the tech way instead of the business way first time around. |
| 17:36:11 | jsheedy | Now I married with a child trying to go back |
| 17:36:32 | Knghtbrd | Hard to tell the difference in most schools |
| 17:36:45 | Knghtbrd | most "CS" departments come from the business schools anymore |
| 17:37:01 | Knghtbrd | not much real learning to be had unless your a Microsoft Office flunkie |
| 17:37:14 | Knghtbrd | VBScript is the future!!!!!!! |
| 17:37:17 | Knghtbrd | yeah, right. |
| 17:37:58 | jsheedy | I first classes were pascal and calc. Now on to c/c++/java stuff and more calc |
| 17:38:01 | Knghtbrd | Of course, I'm not very good at even pretending to be a Microsoft flunkie, I don't use enough explanation points. |
| 17:40:42 | jsheedy | well I guess I will talk to you later, I just wanted to hear if any progress was being made. |
| 17:41:18 | jsheedy | bye |
| 19:23:37 | Coderjoe | egad! that page is absolutely EVIL! |

| 19:53:44 | Coderjoe | for instance: http://www.directron.com/v2000.html |
| 20:03:39 | Coderjoe | grumbles... |
| 20:04:00 | Coderjoe | I wish that there were some microATX nForce boards out already... |
| 20:04:09 | Coderjoe | (all that I am finding are full ATX) |
| 20:36:08 | Coderjoe | is back from being away: why am I still set as away? |
| 23:06:07 | | wish i knew, cronotrg |
| 23:06:07 | cronotrg | ibot Wolfenstien 3-D? |
| 23:53:18 | Coderjoe | whee |
| 23:56:15 | cronotrg | hey |
| 23:56:20 | cronotrg | ugh |
| 23:56:36 | cronotrg | ive been starting at CRTs too much, I need a new LCD monitor |
| 23:57:39 | | cronotrg: bugger all, i dunno |
| 23:57:39 | cronotrg | ibot Wolfenstien? |
