[00:29] <wrst> hey pace_t_zulu, i've been out taking pictures of the moon
[00:40] <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
[00:42] <wrst> cyberanger: http://204.116.127.107/moon.png
[00:43] <wrst> cyberanger: also trying to figure out how to really take pictures as far as iso settings etc etc
[01:22] <cyberanger> wrst: man your connection is slow to upload
[01:22] <cyberanger> assuming that ip is your connection
[01:23] <cyberanger> & one reason I'm still a fan of 35mm is it's a extremely good quality for a very simple usage
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <cyberanger> clouds here (or smog, the verdict is out)
[01:44] <wrst> cyberanger:  thats with a canon eos rebel 1000D
[01:45] <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
[01:49] <wrst> oh cyberanger probably took me 20 minutes to get that picture, i should have read up on how to get night shots
[01:50] <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)
[01:51] <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
[01:53] <wrst> 1.5down 256 up for me
[01:54] <wrst> yeah i may start trying on some of them havin g agood camera is a lot of fun
[02:04] <cyberanger> really, hrm
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <wrst> well i also had network activity going on here taking up bandwidth the wife was farming or some such junk on facebook
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <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
[02:13] <wrst> oh gosh yes don't get me started she's using firefox on her mac should probably do that
[02:14] <cyberanger> or you could definately do that with your router
[02:15] <cyberanger> or her hosts file
[02:17] <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)
[02:40] <wrst> ha ha
[02:41] <wrst> i've tried some content filtering with my router with little success
[02:50] <cyberanger> what have you tried & who was your target
[02:52] <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 ;-))
[02:53] <wrst> oh just tried a general blocking sites and that didn't work with dd-wrt so thats been about it
[03:01] <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?
[13:23] <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
[17:03] <jfenn2199> morning all
