[00:29] hey pace_t_zulu, i've been out taking pictures of the moon [00:40] wrst: why were you doing that? [00:40] cyberanger: trying the ol' camera out and seeing if i could, not as easy of a task as you would think [00:42] cyberanger: http://204.116.127.107/moon.png [00:43] cyberanger: also trying to figure out how to really take pictures as far as iso settings etc etc [01:22] wrst: man your connection is slow to upload [01:22] assuming that ip is your connection [01:23] & one reason I'm still a fan of 35mm is it's a extremely good quality for a very simple usage [01:24] unfortunately, I don't take enough photos to justify cost, so I'll use digicams too [01:24] good shot, even better moon [01:25] clouds here (or smog, the verdict is out) [01:44] cyberanger: thats with a canon eos rebel 1000D [01:45] 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 [01:49] oh cyberanger probably took me 20 minutes to get that picture, i should have read up on how to get night shots [01:50] 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) [01:51] 768k down, 128k up [01:51] as for night shots, yes, those are fun, sky shots at dawn & dusk are a real trick though [01:53] 1.5down 256 up for me [01:54] yeah i may start trying on some of them havin g agood camera is a lot of fun [02:04] really, hrm [02:05] 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] latency I guess explains it [02:06] well i also had network activity going on here taking up bandwidth the wife was farming or some such junk on facebook [02:10] & you might be further out from the central office, thus the latency, perhaps over older lines (increasing dropped & retransmitted packets) [02:10] who knows, there is a ton of possibilities, it works, that's what counts [02:11] well its slow [02:11] wish i had a better connection [02:11] btw, I'd install an adblocker or content filter, facebook & farmville can be privacy invasive & addictive, a bad combo [02:13] oh gosh yes don't get me started she's using firefox on her mac should probably do that [02:14] or you could definately do that with your router [02:15] or her hosts file [02:17] 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) [02:40] ha ha [02:41] i've tried some content filtering with my router with little success [02:50] what have you tried & who was your target [02:52] (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 ;-)) [02:53] oh just tried a general blocking sites and that didn't work with dd-wrt so thats been about it [03:01] 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] what site? [13:23] 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 [17:03] morning all === excid is now known as excid3|home === excid3|home is now known as excid3|coding
