00:05.28tensaijsmith-away: you might be interested in this. the 700mhz auction in SW wyoming is underway. it started at $95k and it's up to $700k so far.
00:06.07Supaplex700mhz?
00:07.26tensaiSupaplex: it's right there between 699mhz and 701mhz
00:07.50Keighvin$1/hz isn't bad.
00:07.59KeighvinEr, $0.10/hz isn't bad.
00:08.01Keighvinmy bad.
00:08.22tensaiSupaplex: it's the spectrum freed up by analog TV
00:09.34tensaithis is the spectrum that google is bidding for, and that the fcc mandated that companies leave open to competitors
00:09.59tensaialthough apparently this auction I reference is a regional auction and there are also national auctions going on. the latter is the one google is participating in.

02:08.17elgpsi
02:08.26rsimpkinsThanks.

02:13.36elgyes
02:15.31rsimpkinsCool, was kinda hoping we could have that going by the next PLUG meeting - but I understand if you don't get to it.
02:15.55elgare there any young eager upstarts that want to take over the box?
02:16.07rsimpkinsI can do it if you're sick of it.
02:16.20rsimpkinsUntil we can find someone with the skills to pay the , erm, GPL licensing fees.
02:16.44rsimpkinsI thought it was your box or something.
02:16.49rsimpkinsIs that not the case?

02:27.07rsimpkinsPLUG is a lot of work, but I guess I really drink the whole community kool-aid thing.
02:27.27rsimpkinsLinux has done a lot for me - if I can give back a little helping the local LUG out - great.
02:27.48rsimpkinsI'd probably be a.... gasp... windows admin... if it weren't for Linux.

02:33.34elgthe server mostly takes care of itself
02:33.57Aliosa27I have 6 of the unreleased ubnt 700mhz atheros cards...they are awesome so far, a bit power hungry however
02:34.01rsimpkinsMy entire ability to earn a living is dependant on Linux. That's a pretty important rice bowl - and I'd like to protect it thank you. :)
02:34.59rsimpkinsWe need to have a 'systems show and tell' for a PLUG meeting one time. There are people with really great personal systems.
02:35.16rsimpkinsI've got this box (ded server in San Diego), and several at home.
02:36.12Supaplexrsimpkins: I think quite a few of us are in that same boat (linux :: paycheck)
02:36.49Aliosa27<--embeded linux=paycheck
02:36.55rsimpkinsWhat's interesting is there really isn't a greedy corporation looking out for me. It takes a community.
02:37.42rsimpkinsIf I were an MS admin, I would work within the limits of that environment, and unless I were a very large user would be at the mercy of the corporate powers.
02:38.48rsimpkinsAnd, strangley enough, if that corporation happens to be a monopoly, I'll likley be employed for an entire career.
02:38.56Newsomeanyone looking to change the source of their Linux paycheck?
02:40.34rsimpkinsIf/When Linus decides he has had enough it will be a key moment for us. There won't be a 'ballmer' to take over as evil henchman. The community dukes it out, and chooses its own leader.

02:46.06Newsomethere are quite a few Linux-related groups, but I haven't gotten involved...the meetings all seem to be either downtown in the evening, or at one of the schools on the weekend
03:12.04nick125Least feel happy that you have linux-related groups in your area that meet on a regular basis.
03:14.34nick125The last time I've been to a LUG meeting must be...almost two years.
03:17.53nick125The last time I actually "talked" to another Linux user in person would be....probably least 8 months ago.

08:00.04vontrappSargun: does convert support it?
08:00.06RyanEwrong window... dang tvtime bites me again...
08:00.32SargunI don't think so
08:00.40Sargunwell, there are raw image formats
08:01.04vontrappflat byte info with no dimension/etc headers
08:01.39RyanEI think it would depend on what raw format it was.  I'm sure some cameras do specify dimensions along with raw image data.
08:02.29vontrappi want just the image data with _no_ metadata whatsoever
08:02.44vontrappand an easy way to strip/restore teh metadata
08:02.45RyanEwhat's the source of the image data?
08:02.49vontrappanything
08:04.02RyanEI assume you read here already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format
08:07.59Sargunvontrapp, why?
08:08.08vontrappfor fun
08:08.46RyanEdoesn't sound like fun: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05042701davecoffininterview.asp
08:10.00vontrappcamera raw formats is not what i'm looking for
08:10.12vontrappi want no metadata, not encrypted metadata
08:12.11vontrappiow, i want to _have_ to put in such information as width to restore the image to a meaningful format
08:12.34vontrappand colordepth
08:13.12RyanEwell, you'd have to know what format you're talking about to strip it down to the raw data, and to restore the data.
08:13.24RyanEi.e. it'd be different for different input formats.
08:13.36vontrapptrue
08:14.05RyanEyou could certainly start with a certain variety of the png spec, and easily strip out the metadata.
08:14.22vontrappbasically i want a list of pixels, and yes, the way a pixel would be represented might have to differ from format to format
08:15.31RyanEcat /dev/rand > pixels.raw
08:15.39RyanEs/rand/random/g
08:15.56RyanEso there you go, there's some pixels without headers...  :)
08:16.07vontrappRyanE: yeah, and then be able to put headers on it
08:16.20Sargunwhy do you want to do this though
08:16.26RyanEit's up to you to find some meaning in it... :)  With the right set of headers, it could be the Mona Lisa...
08:17.02RyanEso are you wanting to do this to hide the original intent or original image?
08:17.10vontrappnot likely, you can't completely arbitrarily change the look of a picture through headers
08:17.27vontrappto look at random data as an image, of course
08:17.54RyanEdepends on how large an image.  If you had a large enough color map, and a small enough set of random data, you could...
08:18.39vontrappwell, you would decide how large an image, then get enough randoms to fill the image
08:19.14RyanEyeah, not really practical.  So, what's the reason for wanting to strip the metadata from the image?
08:19.31vontrappit's pretty much the reverse i'm interested in
08:20.33RyanEright, but why would it be 'raw' (your definition of raw here) in the first place?  Someone had to make it that way.  Are you tapping into NSA radio again?  :)
08:21.00vontrappyeah, and making radio pictures of wavy radio stuff
08:22.57RyanEpixels without some sort of metadata (at least what format image it was originally) would be difficult to make into something useful, IMHO.
08:24.00RyanEunless it was basically a simple GIF/PNG RRGGBBRRGGBB type set of pixels (256-color)
08:24.17RyanEthen the only metadata missing would be height/width.
08:35.33Sargunyou basically want to convert a 2d matrix into a 1d string?
08:35.51Sargunand vice-versa

18:36.46rsimpkinsEdwards just dropped out.
18:36.46nick125_treowhy is it whenever I start to like the views of a candiate, they drop out :/
18:36.46KeighvinUnfortunately the pendulum is in her favor - or in favor of any democrat, for that matter.
18:36.52Keighvinnick125_treo: Quick, start liking Hillary!
18:36.53rsimpkinsYeah, Romney went too negative.
18:36.59elgi never really saw edwards as a contender
18:37.07tensaielg: you and most pundits
18:37.15rsimpkinsThe democrats are capturing the independants.
18:37.19elgbut then, i never looked closely
18:37.42elgjust judging by what I saw on Totally Biased™ TV
18:37.45rsimpkinsIt'll be interesting to see how things shape up next Tue.
18:37.53elgand the results of the first few primaries/caucuses
18:38.01rsimpkinsLook at the full delegate count - Hillary has the party. She has the power.
18:38.06elgi'm rooting for obama, at least to win the democratic ticket
18:38.16tensaiI would prefer obama to hillary
18:38.17rsimpkinsThose superdelegates are going to push her over the top.
18:38.34nick125_treoelg: he's the only one left that I somewhat like
18:38.38rsimpkinselg: There is little chance if you look at the numbers, but we'll see how things go in the next month.
18:39.18rsimpkinsSo, what will Bill be? Cause, he'll have to be addressed as 'President Clinton'
18:39.23rsimpkinsSo - there will be two of 'em.
18:39.38rsimpkinsI just think it is highly odd that a husband and wife both get elected president.
18:39.41elgyou're in sudoers, it isn't working?
18:39.58elgpresident billy
18:40.02elgpresident hilly
18:40.36maquisas far as republican candidates, huckabee is the only one i'm not fond of... mccain and romney both seem like they could do a reasonable job...  
18:40.46elgthing is, I don't know anyone that likes hillary
18:40.54rsimpkinsI'm not sure either McCain or Romney can go up against hillary.
18:40.56elgi know lots of people that like obama
18:40.58maquiselg: ultra feminists?
18:41.18rsimpkinsit would be rad if Obama switched to independant.
18:41.19elgmaquis: i know of such, but half the nation isn't ultra fem
18:41.25rsimpkinsThen hillary and obama would both loose. :)
18:41.31maquiselg: :)
18:41.49maquiselg: i know some people who think hillary is great... but up here, people are weird
18:41.58findlayheh
18:42.01elgwithout obama, hillary would have the "minority" cornered
18:42.29rsimpkinsShe has way too much power with the party to not walk away with the nomination.
18:42.30elgbut he basically divides that in half - the people who would vote for her simply because she's a minority (woman)
18:42.34rsimpkinsI'd be shocked to see her not get it.
18:42.40maquisso, if the race were huckabee vs obama, do you think that utah would turn blue?
18:42.49maquis(i know, it's not likely anymore... just curious)
18:43.07findlayI rather think that Utah is either brown or grey

18:44.34rsimpkinsI see little changing though with Hillary - except for sure a raise in taxes.
18:44.45elgpartisan politics are natural
18:44.55rsimpkinsAnd - more 'temporary' deals so they can keep getting campain contributions.
18:45.10elgin the same way microsoft monopolies are
18:45.11rsimpkinsAnd a deepening of the DMCA and DRM legislation.
18:46.49elgi used to think republican wasn't half bad and dem was evil. now I just think neither is half good
18:47.17rsimpkinsI tend to lean toward republican on fiscal issues.
18:47.53KeighvinI'm with Dostoyevsky: round up everybody who wants the job and disqualify the lot of'em from every holding office.
18:47.58rsimpkinsThe dems want to create more government programs to scratch the backs of their contributors... cause that's who tends to benefits. On the republican side their consituancy tends to benefit by lower taxes. :)

20:53.35Keighvin...or the connection is coming loose.
20:53.48nick125Nah, the stupid laptop doesn't have the pins for the little thumb screws.
20:53.58nick125uh, not pins, but you know what I'm talking about.
20:55.23KeighvinBy pins I mean those on the cable interface(s), not the stabilizing screws.
20:55.55nick125I know
20:56.04nick125I couldn't think what those little screws were

22:19.47rsimpkinsCan anyone in here recommend a SOLID dedicted hosting company?
22:20.06Sargundedicated, not dedicted
22:20.16SargunAnd what sorta bandwidth, CPU, SLA, cost?
22:20.38rsimpkinsSargun: I want a reliable corporation.
22:20.48Sargunyes.
22:20.51SargunAnd what sorta bandwidth, CPU, SLA, cost? <<
22:20.54rsimpkinsSolid == Enterprise quality.
22:21.00rsimpkinsIt doesn't matter.
22:21.14Sarguncost doesn't matter
22:21.18rsimpkinsNo.
22:21.22SargunDo one at rackspace
22:22.28Sarguntheplanet has some decent ones too
22:22.35Sargunrsimpkins, Why don't you collocate?
22:23.13*** join/#utah mrpull-lt (n=Jake@64-172-16-214.ded.pacbell.net)
22:23.21Sarguncollocate at internap
22:23.23Sargunor Equinix
22:23.29Sargunor Level3
22:23.41rsimpkinsI'm not a fan of co-lo in this case.
22:23.46Sargunwhy not?
22:23.49nick125Sargun: I thought you hated Equinix?
22:23.52rsimpkinsI can't be managing hardware.
22:23.54Sargunnick125, I do.
22:24.16Sargunnick125, Who said I was speaking in rsimpkins' best interest. :-P
22:24.40nick125Hm. I need another treo cradle for my desk
22:24.59rsimpkinsi'm already quite familiar with Equinix, rackspace, etc.
22:25.09rsimpkinsJust trying to get some other suggestions/ideas.
22:25.32SargunRackspace is decent.
22:30.15Kemotaharsimpkins: you can always get some with us :)
22:30.37rsimpkinsKemotaha: Give me an IP address of one, and I'll tell you if you stack up.
22:31.06Kemotaha64.136.20.60
22:31.24rsimpkinswow.
22:31.26KemotahaWhat are you hosting?
22:31.32rsimpkinsOkay, where do I get info?
22:31.38KemotahaMysite.com
22:31.42Jayce^rsimpkins, I think you know a few folks here :)
22:31.48Jayce^what *type* of hosting are you looking for?
22:31.49Kemotahajsut a few of us
22:31.51rsimpkinsrtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.372/11.424/11.460/0.129 ms, pipe 2
22:32.11rsimpkinsJayce^: Dedicated server, I'll manage it. As near enterprise class as we can afford.
22:32.16Sargunrsimpkins, You are based in utah right
22:32.28rsimpkinsYes, but this can be anywhere.
22:32.53KemotahaWe don't have dedicated hardware but we do have Virtual dedicated
22:32.55Jayce^rsimpkins, we just do shared or VPS based hosting
22:33.10rsimpkinsKemotaha: It has to be dedicated, and will probably be running several VMs in it.
22:33.17Kemotahaahh
22:33.17rsimpkinsJayce^: Bummer.
22:33.54Jayce^rsimpkins, meh, market segments..  too much extra overhead outside what we do
22:34.14Sargunrsimpkins, uh, do those one guys
22:34.15rsimpkinsStupid suits ruining it for everyone. ;-)
22:34.19Sargunthose crapy guys
22:34.22Sargunin utah
22:34.24Sargunwho do fiber
22:34.39Kemotaharsimpkins: what are you goin gto host out of it?
22:34.47rsimpkinsmysite.com has great connectivity. If I need shared, I'll keep them in mind.
22:34.54rsimpkinsKemotaha: Lots o' stuff.
22:35.07Kemotahaglobalservers.com is our VPS stuff
22:36.04Kemotahayou might be able to get by with that, without using VM's, just multiple VE's
