| Dan9186[MM] | anyone around? | 03:18 |
|---|---|---|
| cyberanger | no, not round, just a square ;-) | 03:18 |
| cyberanger | what's up Dan9186[MM] | 03:18 |
| Dan9186[MM] | i've got someone needing a web based time clock solution, was gonna see if anyone had suggestions for em | 03:19 |
| cyberanger | are they wanting to host it? | 03:20 |
| cyberanger | or just embed one? | 03:20 |
| cyberanger | I was a fan of (well, still am, I just don't need it, gotten so used to things it's all in my head now) http://www.timeanddate.com/ | 03:21 |
| cyberanger | Dan9186[MM]: I'd have to know more to recommend something specific | 03:22 |
| Dan9186[MM] | he's pretty well open to just about anything | 03:23 |
| cyberanger | but that tool had helped many I know (plus myself till memory picked up the task) | 03:23 |
| Dan9186[MM] | if it needs to be hosted here i think it will be, if it works from the cloud then great | 03:23 |
| Dan9186[MM] | hmm, time clock as in clock in for work clock out for work | 03:24 |
| Dan9186[MM] | etc | 03:24 |
| cyberanger | of course, if you want your tax dollars at work http://www.time.gov ain't bad, just dunno how I'd embed it | 03:24 |
| cyberanger | aka punching the clock | 03:24 |
| Dan9186[MM] | yup | 03:24 |
| cyberanger | uh, yeah, that reminds me, I was gonna shoot you a list of stuff for that | 03:25 |
| cyberanger | which isn't on this machine, must be on my desktop | 03:26 |
| Dan9186[MM] | hehe | 03:26 |
| Dan9186[MM] | rofl | 03:26 |
| cyberanger | when are you gonna be on next time, or do you have an email addy I can shoot it too | 03:26 |
| Dan9186[MM] | is ok i think he just found something he wants to try | 03:26 |
| Dan9186[MM] | ...i never log out of here, but feel free to e-mail me at dan9186@gmail.com | 03:27 |
| * cyberanger wonders why when these things happen, he's allways away from the machine that has what's needed | 03:27 | |
| cyberanger | Dan9186[MM]: um, I should have asked for you to obsfucate that or PM it | 03:28 |
| cyberanger | google has it's hands on it, thus so will spambots | 03:28 |
| cyberanger | well, if you want the list, I can get that this week (thanksgivining should have all my machines in the same room) | 03:29 |
| Dan9186[MM] | oh well, spambots can have it, does not matter to me | 03:51 |
| * cyberanger just repaired his wifi card & volia | 11:01 | |
| cyberanger | it works | 11:01 |
| wrst | cool cyberanger | 11:33 |
| cyberanger | wrst: didn't expect you to be up at 5:30 | 11:34 |
| wrst | that's my get up time cyberanger | 11:34 |
| wrst | thankfully it wont be for the next four days after today | 11:35 |
| cyberanger | hehe, well all the more reason to celebrate | 11:35 |
| cyberanger | I had to rewire the antennas, then run rfkill to clear the card again | 11:36 |
| cyberanger | but I knew it was an antenna issue or something of that nature | 11:37 |
| cyberanger | so it's all fixed, woot | 11:38 |
| wrst | cool cyberanger | 11:40 |
| wrst | how did you figure all of that out? | 11:40 |
| cyberanger | for once, a nice clean error message was straight forward | 11:41 |
| cyberanger | not to metion the timing of things | 11:41 |
| cyberanger | my monitor has it's housing failing, on most laptops have the antennas in the housing too | 11:42 |
| wrst | ok didn't know that either cyberanger | 11:42 |
| cyberanger | so combind the two, plus it was wifi, I had only two places to look | 11:42 |
| * wrst takes notes | 11:42 | |
| cyberanger | since software was working the day before the error, but the housing issue got worse in between, rather convinent | 11:43 |
| cyberanger | wrst: one of the most logical issues, with one of the most simple error messages, the only tricky part was taking apart the laptop to fix it all | 12:10 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger that's something i have never done much of, well i did take my brothers netbook apart | 12:38 |
| wrst | but i didnt' realize taht the antennas usually resided in the lid | 12:38 |
| cyberanger | that's common, but I don't think all are that way | 13:32 |
| cyberanger | maybe they are, idk | 13:32 |
| cyberanger | but it seems to be real common on the machines I've seen personally | 13:33 |
| wrst | that's good to know cyberanger | 13:40 |
| wrst | i know on that netbook it had wires going to the antenna but didn't know where they were at but i suspect in the lid also and that makes sense that's the highest point | 13:41 |
| cyberanger | & the point you raise up like a linksys wrt54gl | 14:41 |
| cyberanger | less metal, only thin plastic (my case it's too thin) | 14:42 |
| wrst | i have been researching some laptops cyberanger i think in the next few months i may have to have one when my screen falls off | 14:50 |
| cyberanger | yours too | 15:04 |
| cyberanger | that's my issue | 15:06 |
| cyberanger | plastic broke, sorta like a stripped screw | 15:06 |
| cyberanger | dumb kensington lock | 15:06 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger its cracking around the hinge and starting to hang open | 15:10 |
| wrst | i would love to buy from zareason or system76 but the big box guys have a lot better deals on better hardware | 15:11 |
| cyberanger | I'd like empror penguin's toughbooks | 15:34 |
| wrst | i will check them out cyberanger | 15:37 |
| wrst | ahh yes i have looked at them, they dont' look like the most modern looking stuff in the world | 15:43 |
| cyberanger | true, but they just don't break | 15:47 |
| cyberanger | it might be overkill, it certainly kills my wallet, but I do want it sturdy | 15:48 |
| cyberanger | it doesn't have to be a toughbook, but toughbooks just don't break | 15:49 |
| wrst | yeah i was speaking of all their stuff isn't the most modern in the world | 15:53 |
| wrst | when i get there i may go with an HP or ASUS seems to be a decent balance of price/quality | 15:54 |
| wrst | i would love to buy a macbook pro but my goodness they are crazy expensive | 15:54 |
| cyberanger | I'm replacing a 2 & 1/2 year old HP | 15:55 |
| cyberanger | quality varies in brands too, not just between them | 15:56 |
| wrst | oh yes agreed | 15:57 |
| wrst | i have about a 3 year old gateway | 15:57 |
| wrst | it was a 499 tiger direct special 3 years is about what i suspected | 15:57 |
| wrst | i really want one that has opensource drivers that work for it, but video i'm not so sure about i really like nvidia as far as video goes | 15:58 |
| Xpistos | Morning er body | 16:21 |
| Xpistos | wrst | 16:21 |
| wrst | hey Xpistos | 16:22 |
| wrst | what's going on? | 16:22 |
| Xpistos | not much | 16:27 |
| Xpistos | slow day at work | 16:27 |
| cyberanger | hey Xpistos | 16:45 |
| Xpistos | hey dude | 16:45 |
| cyberanger | wrst: video is a mess, open, closed, broken or old | 16:46 |
| cyberanger | intel, chip, open, old | 16:46 |
| wrst | cyberanger: i really have no issues with nvidia using their driver | 16:51 |
| wrst | ati on the other hand .... | 16:52 |
| cyberanger | it depends on the card too, we are talking drivers after all | 16:53 |
| cyberanger | plus it was a broad comment, meant more as a statement for an area of improvement | 16:54 |
| wrst | agreed on that but i've foudn that with modern nvidia stuff i've had no issues really | 16:56 |
| cyberanger | I found one, the pricetag | 16:58 |
| wrst | that is true but it works | 16:58 |
| cyberanger | my wallet disagrees on it working here ;-) | 17:33 |
| * cyberanger is considering giving ntpd & gpsd another try, after reading more info on it today, might have found the missing issue from my last try | 17:38 | |
| cyberanger | Dan9186[MM]: are you still needing that list, I can get it tommorow | 18:18 |
| wrst | cyberanger: when i was pricing cards for my desktop not a huge difference but in laptops seems to be a huge difference | 18:20 |
| wrst | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/23/darily_ubuntu_updates/ | 19:07 |
| cyberanger | well, it's laptops i use the most, but even desktops can be overboard when integrated would do | 20:02 |
| wrst | well if you never use graphics i suppose so cyberanger :P | 20:04 |
| wrst | mhall119: i am enjoying your facebook post :) | 22:14 |
| mhall119 | thanks | 22:19 |
| wrst | you are welcome | 22:25 |
