| 00:04.35 | ScytheBlade1 | 0% have worked for me |
| 00:04.39 | ScytheBlade1 | Over the past, oh, FIVE YEARS |
| 00:04.43 | ScytheBlade1 | But this beauty... mmm |
| 00:05.38 | nick125_lappy | all of mine have worked |

| 03:11.17 | levi | Probably depends on which of each. I dunno. |
| 03:11.59 | elg | looks like homebrew ir would be cheaper, but more work |
| 03:12.02 | elg | and more fun |
| 03:12.10 | elg | if I had a EE friend to help |
| 03:13.12 | levi | I think we have one laying around the office somewhere. |
| 03:13.19 | levi | A homebrew one, that is. |
| 03:13.53 | levi | At one point, we were going to incorporate IR into one of our management gadgets. I'm not sure why, and it never went anywhere. |

| 03:50.32 | nick125_lappy | lol |
| 03:50.37 | QBFreak | I don't mind, I was just curious :) |
| 03:51.01 | nick125_lappy | I never have to ask that question :) |
| 03:51.24 | nick125_lappy | if someone doens't know my real first name, they have just made a new entry on my list of the most retarded people in the world.. |

| 03:52.08 | levi | My first name ought to be rather obvious as well. |
| 03:52.15 | QBFreak | I actually assumed your nick was once auto-assigned somewhere, like a network that changes it when you don't auth properly |
| 03:52.31 | nick125_lappy | QBFreak: lol |
| 03:52.51 | QBFreak | Village IRC will change you to Slacker<random string of digits> |
| 03:53.07 | nick125_lappy | yeah.. |
| 03:53.16 | QBFreak | here you jsut can't PM without the password |
| 03:53.22 | QBFreak | or something |
| 03:55.00 | QBFreak | this is...pathetic |
| 03:55.07 | QBFreak | they just used a multi-meter to arm a bomb |
| 03:55.21 | QBFreak | touched to two leads to it and it beeped |
| 03:56.59 | QBFreak | one bomb sounds like a digital watch and is partially made from a kit I recognize |
| 03:57.18 | QBFreak | I'm not sure this movie had a budget... |
| 03:59.07 | QBFreak | they didn't even show an explosion |

| 04:00.33 | QBFreak | I figured for $1 it might be worth a try |
| 04:00.40 | QBFreak | then I read the review... |
| 04:04.51 | QBFreak | ok, they do a poor job blowing up a scale model |
| 04:15.29 | QBFreak | oo cheap win95 sound effects |
| 04:15.34 | nick125_lappy | lol |
| 04:15.58 | QBFreak | from the robots theme iirc |
| 04:16.50 | nick125_lappy | hahaha |
| 04:18.25 | QBFreak | some of the displays in mission control are painted onto the wall |

| 04:27.00 | QBFreak | hows that work? |
| 04:27.08 | ScytheBlade1 | Yeah, my phone doesn't work with it :( |
| 04:27.17 | ScytheBlade1 | They have a java version for phones you can install |
| 04:27.20 | QBFreak | my phone doesn't work with anything really :) |
| 04:27.27 | goozbach | look it up online, web browser, then click the send to phone link |
| 04:27.41 | goozbach | enter the number, and it sends a text message with the address and phone number |
| 04:28.05 | QBFreak | ah nice |

| 04:29.08 | ScytheBlade1 | Verizon |

| 04:29.20 | maquis | -lart goozbach |
| 04:29.21 | ScytheBlade1 | v276 |
| 04:29.27 | nick125_lappy | hrm |

| 04:31.31 | goozbach | that java app isn't needed for this |
| 04:31.36 | ScytheBlade1 | My phone doesn't support the needed version of java.. |
| 04:31.41 | QBFreak | goozbach: I think he is aware of that |
| 04:31.46 | ScytheBlade1 | I know, I thought you were talking about something else initially |
| 04:31.52 | goozbach | ahh |
| 04:31.53 | nick125_lappy | Note: Maps does not currently work with Nextel, T-Mobile USA or BREW-enabled phones (e.g. Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular), or Palm devices. |
| 04:32.08 | ScytheBlade1 | "BREW-enabled phones" <-- me |
| 04:32.11 | nick125_lappy | WTF it does work on t-mobile you bunch of idiots!! |
| 04:32.30 | mheath_ | <elg> mheath_: I don't see the racism. I see a business paying people as little as it can get away with. that's nothing new and completely without regard to race. If they're employing illegals, that's one thing, but the fact that they're going to pay you your rate to do a job that isn't yours doesn't qualify as racism, it's called "we need these dishes washed and we're not going to ask mheath to do it for half his regular wage" |
| 04:32.37 | mheath_ | But theres a lot of hypocrisy |
| 04:32.51 | mheath_ | Like, my boss is entirely OK with showing poeple what a day without hispanics is like |
| 04:32.56 | mheath_ | Originally, we were going to do a very limited menu |
| 04:33.21 | mheath_ | We're not going to refund money because of errors (we will correct them, of course) or because of slowness |
| 04:33.31 | mheath_ | Etc. |
| 04:43.49 | QBFreak | its actually kinda enjoyable most of the time |
| 04:48.32 | QBFreak | oo another low speed car chase |
| 04:48.51 | QBFreak | with the gun firing consisting of sound effects and the guy shaking the prop gun |
| 04:49.33 | QBFreak | tires squealing on dirt... |
| 04:50.43 | maquis | huh? |
| 04:50.48 | QBFreak | bad movie |
| 04:50.50 | QBFreak | really bad movie |
| 04:51.04 | maquis | ah |
| 04:51.42 | QBFreak | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218155/ |
| 04:51.51 | QBFreak | it was only $1... |
| 04:52.12 | nick125_lappy | soundslike a deal! |
| 04:52.24 | QBFreak | yeah, at least I got a slim DVD case out of it |
| 04:52.24 | mheath_ | You know... |
| 04:52.31 | mheath_ | Macey's had a bunch of old moves for like $2 each |
| 04:52.54 | mheath_ | They were all those weird, for-some-random-reason Afircan-American themed movies that the 70's produced |
| 04:53.02 | mheath_ | Like "Blackula" instead of Dracula and such |
| 04:53.21 | nick125_lappy | lol.. |
| 04:53.27 | mheath_ | I've seen Mad TV, which frequently parodies stuff like that - but I never thought they really existed, quite like that, until I saw these movies |
| 04:57.13 | nick125_lappy | QBFreak: you get what you pay for... |
| 04:57.22 | QBFreak | yeah, I got lucky with the last set |
| 04:57.36 | QBFreak | I also got Short Circuit for $5.50 |
| 04:57.42 | QBFreak | IMO that was a deal :) |
| 04:57.54 | QBFreak | heh |
| 04:58.23 | nick125_lappy | its got some killer reviews too.. |
| 04:59.57 | nick125_lappy | "An Action Movie With Very Little Action!" |
| 05:02.32 | QBFreak | yeah |
| 05:09.03 | mheath_ | w00t |
| 05:09.15 | mheath_ | just submitted the last assignment for my online classes :) |
| 05:09.33 | maquis | mheath_: cool |
| 05:09.41 | maquis | cnograts |
| 05:09.56 | mheath_ | maquis, dunno if I told you, but I was talking about those packets I have to do, and how hard they are... |
| 05:10.12 | mheath_ | I switched them out for some other ones that generate the same credit |
| 05:10.14 | mheath_ | WAY easier |
| 05:10.24 | mheath_ | I finished 3/4 of a packet in about an hour |
| 05:10.28 | maquis | mheath_: yeah... that's cool :) |
| 05:10.30 | mheath_ | I have a bit more wokr to do tomorrow |
| 05:10.38 | mheath_ | then I'm clear for graduation |
| 05:10.44 | mheath_ | which is three weeks from Mondatg |
| 05:10.46 | mheath_ | *Monday |
| 05:10.48 | maquis | cool |
| 05:11.54 | mheath_ | maquis, this is weird |
| 05:12.05 | mheath_ | HS graduation is one of those things that always seems so far off...never really any closer |
| 05:12.10 | mheath_ | until now, its 3 weeks away |
| 05:12.22 | mheath_ | I'm going to be in the Marine Corp in 59 days, too |
| 05:13.44 | maquis | mheath_: you think that's weird |
| 05:14.03 | maquis | in a few months, i'll be done with college |
| 05:14.17 | QBFreak | its kinda scary to be done with school |
| 05:14.27 | maquis | QBFreak: it seems like it'll be scary |
| 05:14.29 | mheath_ | I'll tell you....thats the thing that was a major motivation for me going into the military |
| 05:14.43 | QBFreak | suddenly life has no apparent direction |
| 05:14.47 | mheath_ | First, I really don't like school. I'm intelligent, I like learning, but I've never really fit with the system |
| 05:15.05 | mheath_ | I just forsaw college as being more of the same, especially with the smaller local colleges I'd be able to afford and get accepeted into |
| 05:15.16 | mheath_ | Second....when I do graduate from college.... |
| 05:15.18 | mheath_ | What do I do then? |
| 05:15.31 | mheath_ | I've spent thousands of dollars on my education, worked my butt off..... |
| 05:15.45 | maquis | mheath_: having a job to look forward to out of college does help |
| 05:15.47 | mheath_ | Do I really want to just go and hunt for a job, that (although it IS in the career field I choose) I may or may not be happy with? |
| 05:16.13 | mheath_ | I just like the security.... |
| 05:16.24 | mheath_ | I knwo what I'm doing, I know that (if I want) I have a very firm and secure future |
| 05:16.32 | mheath_ | Its something I enjoy |
| 05:16.37 | mheath_ | And I like the opportunities for advancement |
| 05:16.49 | mheath_ | ITs not like most jobs...where you can hope and aim for a raise..... |
| 05:16.59 | mheath_ | its (for the most part), if you stay in and do your job you WILL make rank. |

| 21:22.17 | xbmodder_lappy | hehe |
| 21:22.37 | goozbach_ | that is abou the samme in an hour |
| 21:22.44 | xbmodder_lappy | mheath_, why don't you take advantage of your technical skills? |
| 21:22.59 | goozbach_ | gahhh I cant taype today |
| 21:23.42 | mheath_ | xbmodder_lappy, your parents are rich, right? No one makes $75 because of skill |
| 21:23.56 | mheath_ | You either have to born into a good or special sitaution, or be very, very lucky |
| 21:24.34 | mheath_ | I have a teacher who has been very successful in his careers |
| 21:24.42 | mheath_ | He was a reporter for the AP at an unheard of young age |
| 21:24.46 | mheath_ | he ran a successful photography business |
| 21:25.08 | mheath_ | and he ran a very successful printing and advertisement business (including advertising for the first sattelite TV company) |
| 21:25.13 | mheath_ | He has been in movies |
| 21:25.50 | mheath_ | The most he's ever made was $100 /hr, and that wasn't a set rate...... |
| 21:26.17 | mheath_ | I repeat: Unless you have lots of experience, college, and tranining (and even then, in a rather special field), You're not going to be legitimately making $75 an hour |
| 21:26.31 | mheath_ | The only other way is to get lucky or be in a special situation. |
| 21:28.10 | mheath_ | QBFreak, that was a special case, though, right? |
| 21:28.16 | mheath_ | I mean, go and work for a few hours for a couple days |
| 21:28.29 | mheath_ | make some good money, but its not like its a long lasting permanent job |
| 21:28.46 | QBFreak | yeah, but I know someone who does stuff like that a lot |
| 21:29.02 | mheath_ | QBFreak, what kind of education? |
| 21:29.13 | mheath_ | $45 isn't unrealistic |
| 21:29.31 | QBFreak | not sure if he graduated from college or not, no idea what he was majoring in |
| 21:29.38 | mheath_ | my point was that I find it hard to believe that xbmodder_lappy, who is a highschool junior (sophomore?) is making $75 just because of his skill. |
| 21:30.02 | QBFreak | the only skills needed was the ability to distinguish between the different ports on the back of a server, follow directions and use simple tools to unrack/rack equipment |
| 21:30.37 | mheath_ | Thats a grossly overpaid job |
| 21:30.40 | mheath_ | Theres LOTS of those |
| 21:30.57 | mheath_ | You just dont see grossly overpaid simple jobs that will pay you $75/hr. Not quite that much =p |
| 21:31.24 | QBFreak | but they are out there |
| 21:31.58 | QBFreak | and right now I make a whole $6/hr... |
| 21:32.09 | mheath_ | QBFreak, time to get a new job |
| 21:32.19 | QBFreak | been looking |
| 21:32.24 | mheath_ | I'm going to be working as a dishwasher @ applebees on Monday.......Making $12/hr =P |
| 21:34.17 | bonez39 | 12 an hour to wash dishes..that's pretty good... |
| 21:34.17 | QBFreak | yeah |
| 21:34.17 | QBFreak | I think our dishwasher was getting minumum wage |
| 21:34.17 | mheath_ | special situation |
| 21:34.17 | mheath_ | thats the mexican walkout + protest day (tomorrow) |
| 21:34.17 | bonez39 | ah, the cook or manager really likes you, mheath_ ? |
| 21:34.17 | mheath_ | all our regular dishwashers are Mexican |
| 21:34.20 | mheath_ | they needed someone to wash dishes |
| 21:34.24 | mheath_ | no one wanted to do it |
| 21:34.28 | mheath_ | so they started offering more pay |
| 21:34.38 | QBFreak | washing dishes isn't so bad when you have a nice commercial dishwasher |
| 21:34.43 | mheath_ | yeah |
| 21:34.53 | mheath_ | its just...spray the dishes, put them on the rack, put them throught he machine. |
| 21:34.54 | QBFreak | clean the food off, rack them, stick them in, pull them out, put them away |
| 21:35.09 | mheath_ | we go through dishes FAST, though |
| 21:35.13 | QBFreak | I bet |
| 21:35.18 | mheath_ | we're a very busy restraunt.... |
| 21:35.28 | bonez39 | I'd think a job in IT anything..helping businesses get their IT shop in order.....would pay more than any of that... |
| 21:35.37 | bonez39 | mheath_, what restaurant is this? |
| 21:35.44 | mheath_ | I've seen $20,000 in gross sales |
| 21:35.48 | mheath_ | (daily) |
| 21:35.58 | QBFreak | bonez39: I was working with a data conversions group at Kodak making $13/hr, some nights I can beat that |
| 21:35.58 | mheath_ | bonez39: Applebees in Riverdale |
| 21:36.04 | mheath_ | busiest Applebees in Utah |
| 21:36.27 | mheath_ | QBFreak, what exactly were you doing at Kodak? |
| 21:36.50 | bonez39 | kodak? in what state? |
| 21:36.52 | QBFreak | I ended up doing the day-to-day stuff for a large data conversion |
| 21:36.56 | QBFreak | NC |
| 21:37.00 | bonez39 | ah...... |
| 21:37.29 | mheath_ | less than two months (probably.....less than 3 months for sure!) until I'm going to be in California! |
| 21:37.29 | QBFreak | tracking and shipping input and output media, wrote the automated processing system |
| 21:37.40 | QBFreak | wrote scripts to manage the tape library |
| 21:37.56 | QBFreak | hardware and software troubleshooting when things went wrong |
| 21:38.05 | bonez39 | and for that...just $13 an hour? |
| 21:38.18 | QBFreak | I was hired to change tapes originally, at the time the pay was great :) |
| 21:38.39 | QBFreak | the job was only supposed to last a few months, I was there for 14 |
| 21:38.52 | mheath_ | Heh, factor in the fact that my new 'job' is quite literally a 24 hour a day job, and I'm going ot be making less than minimum wage... |
| 21:38.59 | QBFreak | I also had no work experience in IT |
| 21:40.57 | mheath_ | $1427.40 base pay |
| 21:41.00 | mheath_ | monthly |

| 21:47.55 | mheath_ | bonez39 somehow seems to have missed the numerous discusions I've started about my new 'job' :P |

| 21:49.37 | mheath_ | ~10 hr* |
| 21:50.06 | mheath_ | bonez39, I'm going to be a United States Marine. |

| 22:01.04 | mheath_ | MCRD Parris Island is for all female recruits, and male recruits from east of the Mississippi. |
| 22:01.34 | bonez39 | ah.......ok.... |
| 22:01.41 | mheath_ | MCRD San Diego -> Camp Penddleton -> Twenty Nine Palms |
| 22:01.50 | bonez39 | I know that in during Viet Nam...that's where all the Marines were inducted |
| 22:02.36 | mheath_ | No. |
| 22:02.58 | mheath_ | MCRD San Diego has been training marines since the 1920's. |
| 22:03.04 | bonez39 | welll, that what I HEARD...sorry, correct me if my information is all wrong.... |

| 22:16.09 | mheath | bonez39, will you look at something for me? |
| 22:16.36 | mheath | I'm working on redesigning the website for a youth military related group that I participate with (kind of like a JROTC) |
| 22:16.38 | bonez39 | sure....a web site? |
| 22:16.45 | bonez39 | ok....let me know the link |
| 22:17.09 | mheath | What do you think of http://www.geocities.com/joltrush2004/index.html (my redesign) vs http://www.utahseacadets.org/ ? |
| 22:17.36 | mheath | Mines still in progress (I ended up using a template, now, because I'm very busy - I plan to make some HEAVY modifications to the design eventually), but I'm looking for feedback |
| 22:19.13 | *** join/#utah RyanE_away (n=ryan@rberick.dsl.xmission.com) |
| 22:21.01 | bonez39 | mheath, "Plan of the Months" is the plan about various Months? |
| 22:21.13 | bonez39 | or should that tab label be....Plan of the Month? |
| 22:21.46 | mheath | bonez39, I wondered about that too. Look at the old website (the www.utahseacadets.org) and see the equiv content (on the left side) |
| 22:22.05 | mheath | I was trying to pluralize "Plan of the Month" |
| 22:22.22 | mheath | IE, its a site that contains multiple ones |
| 22:22.39 | bonez39 | oh, that would be Plans of the Month...it's like Books of Mormon or Attorneys General or Heads of State..... |
| 22:23.01 | bonez39 | it's the subject you pluralize, NOT the prepositional object |
| 22:24.22 | mheath | bonez39, fixe |
| 22:24.25 | mheath | *fixed |
| 22:24.54 | bonez39 | ok...... |
| 22:25.10 | bonez39 | you aren't the only one who has trouble with that.... |
| 22:25.39 | bonez39 | another that burns my ears......Centered....AROUND.....I mean..come on..is it centered on some thing, or does it circle around it..you can't have it both ways...... |
| 22:27.15 | mheath | bonez39, what do you think? |
| 22:27.38 | bonez39 | well, youa reo n your way...it's a good site |
| 22:42.26 | bonez39 | a quiet day here... |
