| 01:24.40 | emcnabb | probably, I'm packing up the den / office tonight |
| 01:25.00 | BL4 | ah, the joys of packing |
| 01:26.21 | BL4 | maquis, you want to play bzflag tonight? |
| 01:27.01 | nick125 | spitfire.atarack.com |
| 01:28.23 | BL4 | be there in a moment. |
| 02:15.01 | BL4 | that was great nick125 |
| 02:15.08 | BL4 | thanks for the fun little game |
| 02:15.10 | nick125 | hehe.. |
| 02:15.18 | BL4 | I was doing pretty dang good as a rouge |
| 02:16.11 | BL4 | your team kinda got squeezed a bit |
| 02:17.03 | BL4 | nick125, are you a student, or what kinda things have you been up too? |
| 02:17.16 | nick125 | I'm a student, but, I run a VPS provider :) |
| 02:17.24 | nick125 | speaking of which, need any web hosting today? |
| 02:17.28 | BL4 | so you always have some extra space :P |
| 02:17.34 | BL4 | nope, I'm good with hosting right now |
| 02:17.42 | BL4 | I'll keep you in mind if I need anything... |
| 02:18.02 | nick125 | If you know any friends that need hosting with root access, send them to me, okay? :) |
| 02:18.23 | BL4 | :P |
| 02:18.36 | nick125 | thats the lovely thing about VPS.. |
| 02:18.42 | nick125 | root access on almost any distro you want |
| 02:18.43 | nick125 | :) |
| 02:18.50 | BL4 | oh yes, VPS is pretty good stuff |
| 02:19.06 | nick125 | starting at $9.99 a month prepaid, or $13.99 a month for month-to-month :) |
| 02:19.15 | BL4 | how often do your servers reboot? |
| 02:19.33 | nick125 | not too often unless its for upgrades |
| 02:19.39 | BL4 | once a week |
| 02:19.40 | BL4 | once a monthj |
| 02:19.43 | BL4 | once a year |
| 02:19.49 | BL4 | 15 times a day? |
| 02:19.52 | nick125 | it really depends |
| 02:20.11 | nick125 | usually, when tehres a new beneficial release of xen, we will upgrade, etc |
| 02:20.27 | BL4 | hmmm... |
| 02:20.34 | nick125 | right now, we've worked out most of the kinks in the system, so, it's much more reliable now |

| 04:22.28 | BL4 | enjoyed your flaming hot bagpipes |
| 04:22.31 | elg | :) |
| 04:22.47 | elg | stupid power adapter died. I think it lasted all of 3 weeks |
| 04:23.00 | BL4 | I hate poorly made computer parts |
| 04:23.25 | BL4 | some power adapters aren't designed to handle their own heat output |
| 04:23.35 | elg | don't know that it was poorly made, as slightly damaged to begin with, or perhaps damaged in shipping |
| 04:23.39 | elg | no, it was the connector |
| 04:23.48 | BL4 | oic |
| 04:23.53 | BL4 | that should be fixable then |
| 04:24.02 | elg | plastic part cracked, so it didn't stand up to normal cord-pulling |
| 04:24.17 | BL4 | just cut the wires and attach another one :P |
| 04:24.40 | elg | well I had to buy this one cuz the other connector broke |
| 04:24.45 | elg | so now I have two bad connectors |
| 04:24.53 | BL4 | lol |
| 04:24.55 | elg | so I'm going to get it replaced under warranty |
| 04:24.57 | BL4 | bad design |
| 04:25.11 | elg | 18-month old |
| 04:25.28 | elg | that's why the first one broke. the second one was defective |
| 04:25.45 | elg | I'd really like to rig it with one of those magnetic power adapters. if only... |
| 04:26.03 | BL4 | computer parts used to be built to last until the next centry |
| 04:26.38 | BL4 | magnetic power adapters? |
| 04:26.52 | BL4 | so you can fry everything on your hard drive when you hook up to it? |
| 04:26.54 | elg | the ones the new macbooks have. they connect to the laptop magnetically |
| 04:27.01 | elg | haha |
| 04:27.17 | elg | so if someone trips on it, it just comes out |
| 04:27.20 | elg | nothing breaks |
| 04:27.24 | BL4 | just don't bring a floppy nearby |
| 04:27.30 | elg | laptop doesn't come crashing down |
| 04:27.32 | BL4 | oh, gotchya |
| 04:27.34 | BL4 | ha ha ha |
| 04:27.52 | BL4 | I was thinking no physical connection between the laptop and power supply |
| 04:28.00 | BL4 | big magnets to transfer power through the air :P |
| 04:28.07 | elg | right.. they call those microwaves. :) |
| 04:28.18 | elg | you think your lap gets hot now |

| 04:28.31 | BL4 | microwaving laptop? |

| 04:29.07 | BL4 | I would imagine any portable microwave would leak quite a few rays |

| 06:48.06 | QBFreak | some of them were using ramps |
| 06:49.30 | QBFreak | as for regular bowling, I do crappy on the first and third games, and any other after |
| 06:51.13 | levi_ | I can occasionally bowl well, but I'm so inconsistent it's hardly worth it. |
| 06:51.38 | maquis | i've never played much |
| 06:51.54 | maquis | iirc, my first time playing, i got a strike on the first try... |
| 06:51.59 | maquis | never been able to do it since |
| 06:52.03 | QBFreak | I hardly ever play |
| 06:52.18 | maquis | i have enough trouble not doing gutter-balls |

| 07:04.24 | maquis | and then choose connect |

| 07:04.57 | nick125 | mheath: noc.atarack.com and spitfire.atarack.com still go to the old page, the new one is at atarack.com and its still slightly broken :P |

| 07:07.23 | bonez39 | wow..it pretty much takes over the video hardware, right? |
| 07:07.37 | QBFreak | nick125: www.atarack.com points to the old |
| 07:08.41 | bonez39 | I can't switch back out to here...if I run bzflag..my system video I guess is too slow to allow me |
| 07:08.46 | QBFreak | you also might want to point out that the yearly price is per month |
| 07:09.09 | maquis | nick125: no fair... i die, and then you shoot |
| 07:10.37 | maquis | bonez39: if you want something 1 on 1, i seem to not have any lag on phantom2.cs.byu.edu |
| 07:10.41 | maquis | (same port number) |
| 07:12.42 | bonez39 | port 5154? |
| 07:12.47 | maquis | yup |
| 07:12.59 | bonez39 | ok, I will write it down.... |
| 07:13.12 | bonez39 | once I launch bzflag, I can't get back here...cuts out task switching.. |
| 07:13.18 | maquis | ah |
| 07:13.19 | maquis | ok |
| 07:13.25 | maquis | if you hit f1, it puts it in a window... |
| 07:13.26 | maquis | :) |
| 07:13.38 | maquis | but i understand :) |
| 07:13.43 | bonez39 | ok |
| 07:18.22 | bonez39 | hmmmm |
| 07:18.28 | bonez39 | I entered the phantom server.... |
| 07:18.28 | maquis | bonez39: what's the question? |
| 07:18.31 | bonez39 | and hit STart..... |
| 07:18.38 | maquis | did you choose phantom2.cs.byu.edu? or a different one? |
| 07:18.39 | bonez39 | but it said Start Failed.. |
| 07:18.50 | bonez39 | I think it's my machine..it's old...slow...and just not up to the task... |
| 07:18.56 | maquis | hmmm |
| 07:18.58 | bonez39 | slow vdo..and processor... |
| 07:19.02 | maquis | hmmm |
| 07:19.07 | maquis | that sucks |
| 07:19.11 | maquis | it's a fun game |
| 07:19.33 | bonez39 | well, I'll be getting a new and faster machine soon...hopefully then I can play it |
| 07:19.38 | maquis | cool |
| 07:19.42 | maquis | that'll be fun |
| 07:20.05 | maquis | i enjoy it because it's a computer game that i can actually usually hold my own against the guys on |
| 07:20.08 | maquis | :) |
| 07:20.28 | bonez39 | but then, it might be because I am running rdiff-backup in the background... |
| 07:20.45 | bonez39 | that likely is hitting the processor too hard...to let it process the graphics....for the game |
| 07:22.39 | bonez39 | maquis, I had forgotten that that was running... |
| 07:22.44 | maquis | :) |
| 07:22.55 | bonez39 | I should set my rdiff-bcakup routine to run at 4:00 am....to back up my data |
| 07:23.01 | maquis | welll... soetime we do need to play :) |
| 07:23.16 | bonez39 | ok...I'll try it again..when my system is not bogged down with that... |
| 07:23.21 | maquis | :) |
| 07:23.40 | bonez39 | I'd like to find a few games that my son could play with me....over the net....chess.....He has a box with xppro on it.... |
| 07:23.48 | maquis | how old is he? |
| 07:23.54 | bonez39 | but soon hope to get him a better box for gaming..with dual boot xppro and linux |
| 07:23.56 | bonez39 | he's 10.... |
| 07:24.06 | maquis | oh... he'd *love* bzflag, i bet |
| 07:24.19 | QBFreak | at least XP pro is way better than XP home :) |
| 07:24.19 | bonez39 | I figure if i can get him playing online games iwth me...I can keep better watch on him....from work here, when he's at home.... |
| 07:24.45 | bonez39 | oh, xp home is a crime...the idiot who even decides to release HOME shoudl be locked up for crimes against humanity.... |
| 07:24.52 | QBFreak | hehe |
| 07:25.14 | bonez39 | I mean, the networking stinks...it's just pathetic... |
| 07:26.17 | QBFreak | if I seem to be getting anywhere with my business I'll most likely buy a second box so I can dedicate one to each |
| 07:26.24 | bonez39 | QBFreak, do you use grub for your bootloader? |
| 07:26.51 | QBFreak | its annoying to boot linux and then find out you have to boot windows and make a minor change to a VB program |
| 07:26.51 | bonez39 | well, I am at the point...one box for linux other for xppro |
| 07:26.52 | QBFreak | I think its using Lilo |
| 07:27.00 | QBFreak | I honestly can't recall |
| 07:27.20 | bonez39 | ah, lilo....grub.....I have used both....doesn't matter as long as it let's you decide... |
| 07:27.43 | QBFreak | yeah, I can boot FC with a couple of different kernels, or boot windows |
| 07:27.57 | QBFreak | I think it has a 5 sec timout right now, but thats all configurable |
| 07:28.06 | bonez39 | of course |
| 07:28.53 | QBFreak | one system I had showed an image of the Star Trek ship it was named after when prompting you to boot :) |
| 07:29.30 | xbmodder_lappy | Hmm, I wonder if the bootloader for windows will ever work with linux, or vice-versa... |
| 07:30.03 | nick125 | doesn't the boot loader for windows work with linux in some sick fetishy way? |
| 07:30.15 | QBFreak | xbmodder_lappy: I think I read somewhere that it doesn't |
| 07:30.20 | QBFreak | but I'm not sure |
| 07:30.23 | bonez39 | the bootloader for windows? |
| 07:30.32 | xbmodder_lappy | it doesn't currently |
| 07:30.56 | xbmodder_lappy | the windows boot loader can't chain load, but lilo and grub can chain-load the windows boot loader.. |
| 07:31.08 | QBFreak | bonez39: I believe with XP and maybe 2K it will let you select from multiple windows installs |
| 07:31.09 | bonez39 | no reason for MS to create a bootloader that works with linux..that would be conceding linux's existence and giving it credence.....eh? |
| 07:31.18 | QBFreak | heh |
| 07:35.50 | bonez39 | any of you run backups with rdiff-backup? |
| 07:36.19 | bonez39 | mine's been running here a half hour or so....it's about 100 mb or so..that it is tranferring/backing up... |
| 07:36.26 | bonez39 | just seems like it's taking a long time |
| 07:42.47 | bonez39 | TV on the puter, eh? |
| 07:44.17 | QBFreak | yeah |
| 07:44.32 | QBFreak | but its a cheap card, I don't think they did much if any filtering on the power |
| 07:45.11 | QBFreak | the incoming cable line runs behind the computer desk for both the PC and the TV, the TV is clear but the PC is not |
| 07:45.25 | bonez39 | my wife is worried about my 10 yo son...looking at nekkid ladies..and such on the 'net...know of any 'good' filters....that I could install....that would assure a worrysome mother..that things are 'safe'? |
| 07:46.04 | bonez39 | oh, so the cable serves up your broadband signal, and also the cable programming content for your tv? |
| 07:47.19 | QBFreak | yeah, splitter at the box sends one line to the cable modem, and one to the TV |
| 07:47.28 | QBFreak | where it gets split more than it should... |
| 07:47.55 | bonez39 | ah... |
| 07:48.11 | QBFreak | split for the living room and my room, and then split in my room for PC and TV |
| 07:48.15 | bonez39 | so the tv content viewd on your television is clear, but viewed on your tv tuner on your pc is not |
| 07:48.22 | QBFreak | correct |
| 07:48.28 | QBFreak | both TVs are clear, the tuner card is not |
| 07:48.55 | bonez39 | ok... |
| 07:48.56 | QBFreak | I believe it is noise, most likely from my power supply |
| 07:49.04 | bonez39 | any ideas aobut a net viewing filter.... |
| 07:49.15 | bonez39 | to keep my son from watching the pretty pictures...hehe |
| 07:49.47 | QBFreak | no idea |
| 07:50.05 | QBFreak | my parents used a filtered dialup service for a long time, but they seem to be gone |
| 07:50.07 | bonez39 | ok.. |
| 07:50.28 | bonez39 | wait.I have comcast..they should have a filter, I can invoke....on all the content we get at home... |
| 08:27.00 | QBFreak | Over The Hedge will be out friday! |

| 15:01.01 | linuxalien | morning |
| 15:06.42 | BL4 | whats up linuxalien? |
| 15:16.04 | linuxalien | just working |
| 15:16.09 | linuxalien | work is busy for a sunday |
| 15:16.34 | mheath | Where do you work? |
| 15:17.03 | mheath | Work is going to be nighmarishly busy for me today. |
| 15:18.08 | BL4 | I'm just hoping to stay awake today |
| 15:18.51 | BL4 | stayed up all night...I need to make it until at laast 5 PM today, or I'll never return to a normal sleeping schedule |
| 15:18.59 | linuxalien | Flying J |
| 15:19.23 | linuxalien | I work for corporate as tech support/customer service |
| 15:23.17 | mheath | Today is, statistically, the busiest day of the year where I work |
| 15:23.33 | mheath | You'd have to be there on some "normal" days to see how busy it is to understand how much that scares me. |
| 15:23.33 | linuxalien | That's gotta be fun |
| 15:23.59 | linuxalien | Sounds rough |
| 15:25.55 | mheath | Its a morning shift though |
| 15:26.01 | mheath | So I'll only be there for about 4 hours |
| 15:26.09 | mheath | Last night, I was stuck there for close to 8 |
| 15:28.53 | linuxalien | What kind of work? |
| 15:29.05 | mheath | I work at an Applebee's restraunt right now. |
| 15:29.14 | mheath | Thankfully, thats only for four more weeks (from today!) |
| 15:29.43 | linuxalien | Oh, yeah, restaurants are busy. Especially ones that have tasty food. |
| 15:32.32 | mheath | I don't know what I'm all excited about. Working at Applebee's is less stressful that it will be down in California |
| 15:35.02 | mheath | At any rate, now that I'm [almost] done with highschool, I hope to get some work done on my software distro before I leave. |
| 15:36.00 | linuxalien | Making a linux distro? |
| 15:37.25 | mheath | linuxalien: yep. |
| 15:40.03 | mheath | I've put some work into one in the past; I just got so bogged down with school and such that I never came close to finsihing anything |
| 15:46.30 | linuxalien | Sounds cool. What kind of distro? |
| 15:48.29 | mheath | linuxalien, its a simple system, meant for beginning users; it uses an alternative filesystem hierarchy (similar to GoboLinux's), uses RPMs for the package management, and stresses WINE integration for maximum Window's compatability. |
| 15:49.16 | linuxalien | Nice! That would be a good start for people new to linux |
| 15:59.20 | linuxalien | I could set something like that up for me mum |
| 16:25.29 | *** part/#utah BL4 (n=Bl4QKUBA@3-1-9.ore.fiber.net) |

| 17:31.31 | linuxalien | Yeah |
| 17:31.35 | linuxalien | But I work in corporate |
| 17:31.41 | QBFreak | yeah |
| 17:31.43 | QBFreak | cool |
| 17:31.45 | linuxalien | But we do have a deli open on weekdays that's so yummy |
| 17:31.49 | linuxalien | Brookside Deli |
| 17:31.51 | linuxalien | Mmmmmmm |
| 17:38.19 | linuxalien | Art supplies? Home Depot? |
| 17:38.58 | QBFreak | I know I can most likely get plexiglass at lowes, but I don't like working with it |
| 17:39.21 | QBFreak | something made out of the same stuff as a radio shack project box would be awesome |
| 17:41.36 | QBFreak | bah, Hobby Lobby is closed on sundays |
| 17:44.55 | linuxalien | Plexiglass sounds nice hehe |
| 17:45.21 | QBFreak | I made a switch panel out of it once, its a pain to cut |
| 17:46.43 | QBFreak | I need roughly an L shape, plus a hole cut out for the rear of the power supply |
| 17:47.38 | QBFreak | if they were all outside cuts I could just score it and snap it, but they're not |

| 19:40.11 | nick125 | mmm.. |
| 19:40.23 | nick125 | I just got invited to go speak at my local lug meeting about xen.. |
| 19:42.51 | QBFreak | I wish my bank wanted more than just a username and password to get web access to my account... |
| 19:43.37 | QBFreak | and now they're pushing some new thing that says "Imagine never having to memorize another password again" |
| 19:44.05 | QBFreak | I don't want quick access to my accounts, I want something with a little more security |
| 19:58.46 | maquis | QBFreak: i agree |
| 19:58.55 | maquis | but the average person disagrees with us |
| 19:59.09 | QBFreak | apparently so |
| 20:00.07 | QBFreak | I used their older login until they took it down and made me use the new one, it required an ID number, pin (not ATM pin) and a password |
| 20:00.24 | nick125 | I was setting up an account for my mom at this one online store..she kept arguing with me because she wanted to use a 5 character password, so, I decided to get the md5 hash of the password she wanted to use, and run it though mdcrack. 60 seconds later, she finally got the hint.. |
| 20:00.34 | QBFreak | wow |
| 20:01.07 | QBFreak | I need to come up with a new password scheme, mine is longer than that but still shorter than I'd like for things like banking |
| 20:01.31 | nick125 | 256 bit password should be the minimal for banking purposes :D |
| 20:01.45 | QBFreak | 32 characters? |
| 20:02.06 | nick125 | yes.. |
| 20:02.07 | QBFreak | more of a pass phrase :) |
| 20:02.15 | QBFreak | but yeah, longer is better |
| 20:02.20 | maquis | QBFreak: my bank won't look at anything past the 8th character in my password |
| 20:02.28 | QBFreak | that sucks |
| 20:02.34 | nick125 | maquis: LOL...why are you still banking with them? |
| 20:02.34 | maquis | yeah |
| 20:02.50 | QBFreak | thats like AppleSoft BASIC where it only looks at the first two characters of a variable name |
| 20:03.03 | nick125 | lol |
| 20:03.16 | nick125 | thats a feature, not a bug. |
| 20:03.20 | QBFreak | hehe |
| 20:03.20 | nick125 | it saves memory |
| 20:03.23 | QBFreak | yeah |
| 20:03.40 | maquis | nick125: because, switching banks is a pain, and currently, my parents are on the account so that they can do stuff with my account (adding money, etc)... my parents bank at the same place, which, at the moment, is really nice |
| 20:03.57 | QBFreak | I think my next project will be working out a networking protocol for the apple //c |
| 20:03.59 | nick125 | which bank is this? :P |
| 20:04.10 | maquis | nick125: it's one of the major banks... |
| 20:04.14 | xbmodder_lappy | do they give you free baseball/football tickets? |
| 20:04.26 | xbmodder_lappy | heh |
| 20:04.55 | xbmodder_lappy | fremont bank (local) gave us box seats, that was cool. |

| 20:57.20 | xbmodder_lappy | what sort of bread are you making? |
| 20:58.13 | maquis | xbmodder_lappy: the recipe calls it arab rolls |
| 20:58.22 | maquis | it's one of the few recipes i could find that didn't require milk |
| 20:59.48 | xbmodder_lappy | are you lactose intolerant, or just lacking milk? |
| 21:00.18 | maquis | the milk in the fridge was all bad |
| 21:00.29 | maquis | (this time, it was bad enough that i didn't need to open it to determine that fact...) |
