00:55.12macnewboldhomewhiting: there will be people from almost all the LUGs there. SLLUG, PLUG, OALUG, and groups like UPHPU will all be represented I'm sure.
00:56.45homewhitingmacnewbold: any idea if any of them are kde-friendly? or kde-centric even?

01:29.16blendmaster1024www.utosc.com just disappeared
01:29.36blendmaster1024the domain disconnected from it's ip or something
01:29.46homewhitingblendmaster1024: http://2009.utosc.com/sponsor/list/ is still working here
01:30.00blendmaster1024register.utosc.com isn't here
01:30.17blendmaster1024what are the ips for your domain servers?
01:30.19homewhitingand www.utosc.com redirects to http://2009.utosc.com/pages/home/ and is working fine here
01:30.25blendmaster1024:P
01:30.29homewhitingmy domain servers?
01:30.36blendmaster1024your dns servers
01:30.54homewhitingI use infowest for dns if that's what you mean, but I'm not affiliated with utosc in any way (I just live in southern utah, so use infowest)
01:31.25blendmaster1024i know that you're not connected...
01:31.28blendmaster1024argh
01:31.48blendmaster1024do you know what the root server is?
01:32.14blendmaster1024it's ip?
01:32.17penoworks fine for me
01:32.24homewhitingnot off the top of my head, no...
01:32.35homewhitingblendmaster1024: having dns issues there probably? =p
01:32.47blendmaster1024hmm and that seems to be an anomaly - other sites dns just fine
01:33.05blendmaster1024fixed it
01:33.06homewhitingdns caching?

17:00.38ibotACTION dumps a bucket of cold oatmeal on levi
17:01.29leviIf I filed a bug against a product you supported with instructions on how to reproduce it, wouldn't you... try to reproduce it?
17:01.53goozbachyeah
17:02.04goozbachbut I don't live in tech support bizzaro world
17:03.37{-}levi: Have we reached the point in my support script where I try to reproduce your problem, or are we still on the steps where I insult your intelligence?
17:04.22leviThis isn't 1st level tech support for a consumer product, this is engineering support for a chip.
17:04.34leviA buggy chip.
17:06.17goozbach{-}: you're forgetting the first step
17:06.19{-}levi: Why didn't you say so. I don't need to reproduce your problem because you're wrong. Our chips don't have bugs.
17:07.01goozbachhave the person repeat what they say 7 or 8 times because your copy of rosetta stone didn't prepare you for a fast-talking southern accent
17:07.39leviThis is, by the way, a chip developed FOR US to our specifications.
17:15.25goozbachthere's your problem, the specification was wrong
17:15.28goozbach:)
17:15.45jsmithThat's the nice thing about specifications.... there are *so* many ways to interpret them
17:17.12tensaijsmith: and there's so many to choose from. pick your favorite!

17:38.32elg__the better to whack you with. haven't you played super mario world?
17:38.47elg__lenscrafters was one of the places that didn't do 1-hour
17:38.50elg__at least the one I called
17:39.11leviI thought their catchphrase was 'Quality glasses in about an hour'
17:39.15neybarelg__: My ears... the bleeding.
17:39.48elgi found a place called site for sore eyes that did it
17:39.53elgand took my insurance
17:39.58elgso i now can see again. yay!
17:40.08leviYay!
17:40.16elgthis time I got titanium memory frames so hopefully they won't get terribly distorted and/or broken
17:40.41elgthe last pair did last what, 5 years? but they were so bent up it was terrible, even before they broke
17:40.54elgthat's the problem with kids. always jumping on yo' face
17:41.22leviI haven't had that problem.  A chip broke off of the finish on my frames, but it's not very obvious.  My problem is with lenses getting scratched, and the coatings flaking off.
17:41.34elgjsmith: the answer is neither
17:41.38elgor maybe anaheim
17:41.43elger, sorry, maybe poblano
17:41.47leviBut I've had these for probably ~8 years now.
17:41.54tensaielg: I've lost two pairs to two kids, at about 2 years of age. the new one is about due to destroy this pair.
17:41.59elgbut that's not a fair question. they're totally different purposes.
17:42.06elganaheim are sad imitations of new mexico though
17:42.28neybarhas anyone tried the anti-glare coating on their eye glasses?  I had it put on my current pair.  The anti-glare is nice, but the coating is soft.  I've had them just over a year and they are so scratched I can barely see through them.  
17:42.38elgthis one has anti-glare
17:42.55levineybar: My anti-glare coating is what's flaking off of one lens.
17:42.57elgi don't know about anti-scratch. i didn't pay much attention, I just wanted to get them fast.
17:43.15elgthe optometrist recommended anti glare and I've never had it so I figured why not
17:43.28elghas anyone got that polychromic (Transitions™) thing?
17:43.36neybarI have transitions.
17:43.40elgdoes it work?
17:43.49elgis it true that they don't shade in the car?
17:43.55neybaryes
17:44.02elgso they're useless for driving?
17:44.03neybarit only works if UV light hits them.
17:44.04tensaiI compared some with anti-glare and I liked the effect, but couldn't justify the price
17:44.14elgand I gather useless for flying, which is why I considered it
17:44.33tensaiI like the snap-on shades
17:44.53leviMy frames are so small that dark lenses wouldn't do much for keeping bright light out of my eyes.
17:44.56elgi'll probably just get a pair of perscription shades. i'm eligible for another pair from insurance in january
17:45.01elgaviation style
17:45.10leviI got some separate big chunky sunglasses.
17:45.16elgaviation style make great shades, and really silly-looking specs.
17:45.27elgat least by current style
17:45.37leviThey're hipster-cool, though.
17:45.42neybarlevi: I have the same problem.  My lenses are so small that even when they go dark it isn't much protection from bright sunlight
17:46.48leviMy sunglass frames are a bit too wide, so I have to use a strap on the back to keep them on.  But they block out the sun well. :)
17:47.14elgthis spammer is to the point.
17:47.18elg"Your e-mail address has won the British Telecom Promotion.Therefore you have been approve to claim the sum of 1,000,000.00 GBP. Send Names: Address: Country: Phone No:  Occupation:"
17:48.51leviI keep telling myself I'll get new glasses, but I never get around to it.
17:49.04elglevi: you need to let your toddler jump on your face a few times
17:49.30leviIt's happened before, but it hasn't broken my frames yet.
17:49.36elgI think I should get a cheap spare online
17:49.43leviMy kids are sure good at breaking their own sunglasses, though.
17:50.16elgapparently glasses are insanely marked up
17:50.29elgand cost like $15 a pair wholesale
17:51.01leviThat is what I suspected.
17:51.07elgso if you know the size you need and aren't so sensitive to style that you just have to try on and buy the designer brands...
17:51.23elghttp://www.43folders.com/2007/11/29/adventures-40-eyeglasses
17:51.40elgbut there is the processing/shipping time. not much more than a regular optometrist really, but more than the 1-hour places.
17:51.42elgobviously
17:52.04leviI have a hard time finding frames that don't look silly on me due to the narrowness of my face.
17:52.49Jayce^has the opposite problem.. wider face, high cheekbones
17:53.01Jayce^thankfully I only need sunglasses (so far)
17:53.07leviSounds like Apple is going to lower the iPod Touch price to $199 for 8Gb.
17:53.38leviAnd a 16Gb for $299, and 64Gb for $399.
17:53.40tensaielg: if you order some online please let me know how it goes
17:54.08leviOr maybe the $299 is 32Gb, not sure.

18:11.12levielg: How do you end up playing in a different key than your recorded accompaniment?  Yow.
18:11.32elgdon't trumpets come in two flavors? b flat and C or something
18:11.35elgthat's probably what happened
18:12.18elgthe question is did she practice on the right trumpet and end up with the wrong key for performance (maybe it was her friend's and shinier or something) - and just grin and bear it (or not notice)
18:12.32elgor did she practice with the wrong key trumpet the whole time, and is totally tone deaf?
18:14.07leviShe had clearly done some practicing, considering the choreography and whatnot.
18:15.05leviThis reminds me of a video I saw of a Van Halen concert where the recorded background tape was played at the wrong sample rate and so the band couldn't play in key with it.
18:15.53elgouch
18:16.06elg(technically a tape is analog, so no sample rate, just tape rate)
18:16.36leviDAT is digital tape. :)

18:20.17leviHubble is back in action: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2009/09/09/its-baaaaaaaack/
18:20.26mrpulli wonder if there is some behind the scenes agreement with the cell phone carriers to not put cameras in the touches (to protect iphone sales)
18:20.35mrpullits a stretch, but an explanation
18:20.58leviMore likely would be Apple wanting to keep extra differentiation between the Touch and iPhone.
18:21.46mrpulldid they put mics on the new touches?
18:21.58leviDidn't hear anything about that.
18:22.15leviI would guess not, though.
18:22.32mrpulllooks like the nanos have them given the voice recording app screenshot
18:22.42mrpulldoh
18:22.52mrpulland the big screenshot showing mic and speaker
18:23.21leviLooks like the 32 and 64Gb Touches come with earphones that have a mic in them.
18:24.54leviI'm guessing that means no internal Mic.  Probably the only hardware change was populating with a higher-capacity flash chip.
18:25.10leviWhich makes sense considering the price drop.  
18:25.14mrpullthere is a faster cpu
18:25.32mrpulla guess, but it'd make sense for the better 3D
18:25.42mrpullsimilar to the 3GS bump in 3D
18:26.31*** join/#utah toofer (n=toofer@kjordan.securesites.net)
18:26.47leviProbably the new CPU is the same footprint.
18:27.21mrpulli may get a touch for my 5 yr olds
18:27.33mrpullso they'll stop wrestling for my iphone
18:27.34leviThough the Touch probably uses the same board as the iPhone, so I guess adding a camera and mic wouldn't mean a new layout.
18:44.20Jayce^apples download servers are hammered
18:46.23leviI like the iTunes Home Share thing.
18:50.01Jayce^yeah, I just want to see if it works for more than just your itunes purchased items..
18:50.07Jayce^otherwise it's only partially useful
19:02.52stderrlevi: my iPhone came with earphones w/ a mic.

21:26.06Sargunis thinking of building a "datacenter in the closet" for someone, we need better power redundancy
21:26.11goozbachJayce^: /me has green too
21:26.13eightyeightdoes your isp provide an nntp account?
21:26.17Sarguneightyeight, yeah
21:26.39eightyeightcomcast closed theirs with giganews, and i'm not sure of my options at this point
21:26.58SargunWe can get UPSes that give us about 15 minutes, which should give enough time for the generator to come online, and for feed to switch over
21:27.08SargunI just need something to start the generator
21:27.25jsmithSargun: My generator kicks on auto-magically when the power goes out
21:27.33jsmithSargun: (and it self-tests every week)
21:27.37SargunWhat brand?
21:27.54SargunDoes it turn off when the power goes on?
21:28.08fungusis jsmith running a home datacenter, or is he a hermit nutjob?

21:29.14Sargunnice, but $
21:29.27Jayce^jsmith: mine is a manual and unleaded, been working on putting in a transfer switch so I don't have to do it the hard way..
21:29.34Jayce^but haven't needed it in ages
21:30.07SargunJayce^, Are you doing a transfer switch per circuit?
21:30.21SargunJayce^, and do you have a UPS?
21:30.37Jayce^yes UPS, no per circuit
21:31.50SargunHm
21:32.09Sargunneeds to figure out how to automatically start a generator.
21:33.40jsmithSargun: With a transfer switch :-p
21:34.06Sargunjsmith, I was thinking of buying a honda, it's really clean running, pretty quiet, and only $3k
21:34.41SargunIt doesn't seem to have a way to interface with a transfer switch though
21:35.01jsmithSargun: You probably shouldn't look at this photo then :-p

21:35.31Sargunnifty.
21:36.10Jayce^now, are you building a farady cage into that noise suppression box too? :-p
21:36.19Jayce^you know, just in case :)
21:37.33jsmithWell, the generator itself is inside a steel box, so technically....
21:37.38jsmith... it's a faraday cage
21:37.48jsmith... and the transfer switch is in the basement.... in a metal box...
21:39.47goozbachok that catan board is *AWESOME*
