17:38.32 | elg__ | the better to whack you with. haven't you played super mario world? |
17:38.47 | elg__ | lenscrafters was one of the places that didn't do 1-hour |
17:38.50 | elg__ | at least the one I called |
17:39.11 | levi | I thought their catchphrase was 'Quality glasses in about an hour' |
17:39.15 | neybar | elg__: My ears... the bleeding. |
17:39.48 | elg | i found a place called site for sore eyes that did it |
17:39.53 | elg | and took my insurance |
17:39.58 | elg | so i now can see again. yay! |
17:40.08 | levi | Yay! |
17:40.16 | elg | this time I got titanium memory frames so hopefully they won't get terribly distorted and/or broken |
17:40.41 | elg | the last pair did last what, 5 years? but they were so bent up it was terrible, even before they broke |
17:40.54 | elg | that's the problem with kids. always jumping on yo' face |
17:41.22 | levi | I 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. |
17:41.34 | elg | jsmith: the answer is neither |
17:41.38 | elg | or maybe anaheim |
17:41.43 | elg | er, sorry, maybe poblano |
17:41.47 | levi | But I've had these for probably ~8 years now. |
17:41.54 | tensai | elg: I've lost two pairs to two kids, at about 2 years of age. the new one is about due to destroy this pair. |
17:41.59 | elg | but that's not a fair question. they're totally different purposes. |
17:42.06 | elg | anaheim are sad imitations of new mexico though |
17:42.28 | neybar | has 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. |
17:42.38 | elg | this one has anti-glare |
17:42.55 | levi | neybar: My anti-glare coating is what's flaking off of one lens. |
17:42.57 | elg | i don't know about anti-scratch. i didn't pay much attention, I just wanted to get them fast. |
17:43.15 | elg | the optometrist recommended anti glare and I've never had it so I figured why not |
17:43.28 | elg | has anyone got that polychromic (Transitionsâ¢) thing? |
17:43.36 | neybar | I have transitions. |
17:43.40 | elg | does it work? |
17:43.49 | elg | is it true that they don't shade in the car? |
17:43.55 | neybar | yes |
17:44.02 | elg | so they're useless for driving? |
17:44.03 | neybar | it only works if UV light hits them. |
17:44.04 | tensai | I compared some with anti-glare and I liked the effect, but couldn't justify the price |
17:44.14 | elg | and I gather useless for flying, which is why I considered it |
17:44.33 | tensai | I like the snap-on shades |
17:44.53 | levi | My frames are so small that dark lenses wouldn't do much for keeping bright light out of my eyes. |
17:44.56 | elg | i'll probably just get a pair of perscription shades. i'm eligible for another pair from insurance in january |
17:45.01 | elg | aviation style |
17:45.10 | levi | I got some separate big chunky sunglasses. |
17:45.16 | elg | aviation style make great shades, and really silly-looking specs. |
17:45.27 | elg | at least by current style |
17:45.37 | levi | They're hipster-cool, though. |
17:45.42 | neybar | levi: I have the same problem. My lenses are so small that even when they go dark it isn't much protection from bright sunlight |
17:46.48 | levi | My 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. :) |
17:47.14 | elg | this spammer is to the point. |
17:47.18 | elg | "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:" |
17:48.51 | levi | I keep telling myself I'll get new glasses, but I never get around to it. |
17:49.04 | elg | levi: you need to let your toddler jump on your face a few times |
17:49.30 | levi | It's happened before, but it hasn't broken my frames yet. |
17:49.36 | elg | I think I should get a cheap spare online |
17:49.43 | levi | My kids are sure good at breaking their own sunglasses, though. |
17:50.16 | elg | apparently glasses are insanely marked up |
17:50.29 | elg | and cost like $15 a pair wholesale |
17:51.01 | levi | That is what I suspected. |
17:51.07 | elg | so 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... |
17:51.23 | elg | http://www.43folders.com/2007/11/29/adventures-40-eyeglasses |
17:51.40 | elg | but there is the processing/shipping time. not much more than a regular optometrist really, but more than the 1-hour places. |
17:51.42 | elg | obviously |
17:52.04 | levi | I have a hard time finding frames that don't look silly on me due to the narrowness of my face. |
17:52.49 | Jayce^ | has the opposite problem.. wider face, high cheekbones |
17:53.01 | Jayce^ | thankfully I only need sunglasses (so far) |
17:53.07 | levi | Sounds like Apple is going to lower the iPod Touch price to $199 for 8Gb. |
17:53.38 | levi | And a 16Gb for $299, and 64Gb for $399. |
17:53.40 | tensai | elg: if you order some online please let me know how it goes |

18:10.18 | elg | awesome |
18:11.12 | levi | elg: How do you end up playing in a different key than your recorded accompaniment? Yow. |
18:11.32 | elg | don't trumpets come in two flavors? b flat and C or something |
18:11.35 | elg | that's probably what happened |
18:12.18 | elg | the 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) |
18:12.32 | elg | or did she practice with the wrong key trumpet the whole time, and is totally tone deaf? |
18:14.07 | levi | She had clearly done some practicing, considering the choreography and whatnot. |
18:15.05 | levi | This 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. |
18:15.53 | elg | ouch |
18:16.06 | elg | (technically a tape is analog, so no sample rate, just tape rate) |
18:16.36 | levi | DAT is digital tape. :) |

18:19.34 | elg | in that case. :) |

18:20.26 | mrpull | i 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) |
18:20.35 | mrpull | its a stretch, but an explanation |
18:20.58 | levi | More likely would be Apple wanting to keep extra differentiation between the Touch and iPhone. |
18:21.46 | mrpull | did they put mics on the new touches? |
18:21.58 | levi | Didn't hear anything about that. |
18:22.15 | levi | I would guess not, though. |
18:22.32 | mrpull | looks like the nanos have them given the voice recording app screenshot |
18:22.42 | mrpull | doh |
18:22.52 | mrpull | and the big screenshot showing mic and speaker |
18:23.21 | levi | Looks like the 32 and 64Gb Touches come with earphones that have a mic in them. |
18:24.54 | levi | I'm guessing that means no internal Mic. Probably the only hardware change was populating with a higher-capacity flash chip. |
18:25.10 | levi | Which makes sense considering the price drop. |
18:25.14 | mrpull | there is a faster cpu |
18:25.32 | mrpull | a guess, but it'd make sense for the better 3D |
18:25.42 | mrpull | similar to the 3GS bump in 3D |
18:26.31 | *** join/#utah toofer (n=toofer@kjordan.securesites.net) |
18:26.47 | levi | Probably the new CPU is the same footprint. |
18:27.21 | mrpull | i may get a touch for my 5 yr olds |
18:27.33 | mrpull | so they'll stop wrestling for my iphone |
18:27.34 | levi | Though the Touch probably uses the same board as the iPhone, so I guess adding a camera and mic wouldn't mean a new layout. |
18:44.20 | Jayce^ | apples download servers are hammered |

18:50.07 | Jayce^ | otherwise it's only partially useful |
19:02.52 | stderr | levi: my iPhone came with earphones w/ a mic. |

21:26.13 | eightyeight | does your isp provide an nntp account? |
21:26.17 | Sargun | eightyeight, yeah |
21:26.39 | eightyeight | comcast closed theirs with giganews, and i'm not sure of my options at this point |
21:26.58 | Sargun | We 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 |
21:27.08 | Sargun | I just need something to start the generator |
21:27.25 | jsmith | Sargun: My generator kicks on auto-magically when the power goes out |
21:27.33 | jsmith | Sargun: (and it self-tests every week) |
21:27.37 | Sargun | What brand? |
21:27.54 | Sargun | Does it turn off when the power goes on? |
21:28.08 | fungus | is jsmith running a home datacenter, or is he a hermit nutjob? |
21:28.40 | jsmith | Sargun: Mine is a Generac... and yes, it kicks off once the power is back on |
21:28.52 | jsmith | fungus: Just a nerd who works from home and hates power outages |
21:28.57 | fungus | nice! |

21:29.34 | Jayce^ | but haven't needed it in ages |
21:30.07 | Sargun | Jayce^, Are you doing a transfer switch per circuit? |
21:30.21 | Sargun | Jayce^, and do you have a UPS? |
21:30.37 | Jayce^ | yes UPS, no per circuit |
21:31.50 | Sargun | Hm |
21:32.09 | Sargun | needs to figure out how to automatically start a generator. |
21:33.40 | jsmith | Sargun: With a transfer switch :-p |
21:34.06 | Sargun | jsmith, I was thinking of buying a honda, it's really clean running, pretty quiet, and only $3k |
21:34.41 | Sargun | It doesn't seem to have a way to interface with a transfer switch though |

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