| wrst | hey pace_t_zulu, i've been out taking pictures of the moon | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| cyberanger | wrst: why were you doing that? | 00:40 |
| wrst | cyberanger: trying the ol' camera out and seeing if i could, not as easy of a task as you would think | 00:40 |
| wrst | cyberanger: http://204.116.127.107/moon.png | 00:42 |
| wrst | cyberanger: also trying to figure out how to really take pictures as far as iso settings etc etc | 00:43 |
| cyberanger | wrst: man your connection is slow to upload | 01:22 |
| cyberanger | assuming that ip is your connection | 01:22 |
| cyberanger | & one reason I'm still a fan of 35mm is it's a extremely good quality for a very simple usage | 01:23 |
| cyberanger | unfortunately, I don't take enough photos to justify cost, so I'll use digicams too | 01:24 |
| cyberanger | good shot, even better moon | 01:24 |
| cyberanger | clouds here (or smog, the verdict is out) | 01:25 |
| wrst | cyberanger: thats with a canon eos rebel 1000D | 01:44 |
| wrst | yes its very slow 256 upload, but i'm just really figuring out DSLR stuff a lot more to do than with a point and click | 01:45 |
| wrst | oh cyberanger probably took me 20 minutes to get that picture, i should have read up on how to get night shots | 01:49 |
| cyberanger | 256k, your sure it isn't 128k, I had 128k & that photo seemed worse than my setup (but nobody seems to go lower than 128k for dsl) | 01:50 |
| cyberanger | 768k down, 128k up | 01:51 |
| cyberanger | as for night shots, yes, those are fun, sky shots at dawn & dusk are a real trick though | 01:51 |
| wrst | 1.5down 256 up for me | 01:53 |
| wrst | yeah i may start trying on some of them havin g agood camera is a lot of fun | 01:54 |
| cyberanger | really, hrm | 02:04 |
| cyberanger | idk, the speed just felt like 128k, & wget had the numbers about there too (the numbers flucuated enough where it had to be higher, but didn't get too close to 256k) | 02:05 |
| cyberanger | latency I guess explains it | 02:05 |
| wrst | well i also had network activity going on here taking up bandwidth the wife was farming or some such junk on facebook | 02:06 |
| cyberanger | & you might be further out from the central office, thus the latency, perhaps over older lines (increasing dropped & retransmitted packets) | 02:10 |
| cyberanger | who knows, there is a ton of possibilities, it works, that's what counts | 02:10 |
| wrst | well its slow | 02:11 |
| wrst | wish i had a better connection | 02:11 |
| cyberanger | btw, I'd install an adblocker or content filter, facebook & farmville can be privacy invasive & addictive, a bad combo | 02:11 |
| wrst | oh gosh yes don't get me started she's using firefox on her mac should probably do that | 02:13 |
| cyberanger | or you could definately do that with your router | 02:14 |
| cyberanger | or her hosts file | 02:15 |
| cyberanger | I've setup my own content blocker here for facebook using apache, squid & bind (removed it too, since it was to prove a point to someone here that just cause a content filter allows you to access a site doesn't mean I (the admin) don't know it was accessed) | 02:17 |
| wrst | ha ha | 02:40 |
| wrst | i've tried some content filtering with my router with little success | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | what have you tried & who was your target | 02:50 |
| cyberanger | (I know your target wasn't me, cause I would have had two tabs open, one blocked, one not in a screenshot, timestamped & captioned "EPIC FAIL" waiting in your inbox ;-)) | 02:52 |
| wrst | oh just tried a general blocking sites and that didn't work with dd-wrt so thats been about it | 02:53 |
| cyberanger | heh, opendns is better than that (& all that takes is another dns service, modifing the hosts file, or using a proxy, the proxy one being the best in that administrator permissions arn't needed for a normal setup) | 03:01 |
| cyberanger | what site? | 03:01 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger i use opendns now i was just trying to stop some site like myspace or facebook just to see if i could through the router | 13:23 |
| jfenn2199 | morning all | 17:03 |
