[03:18] <Dan9186[MM]> anyone around?
[03:18] <cyberanger> no, not round, just a square ;-)
[03:18] <cyberanger> what's up Dan9186[MM]
[03:19] <Dan9186[MM]> i've got someone needing a web based time clock solution, was gonna see if anyone had suggestions for em
[03:20] <cyberanger> are they wanting to host it?
[03:20] <cyberanger> or just embed one?
[03:21] <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/
[03:22] <cyberanger> Dan9186[MM]: I'd have to know more to recommend something specific
[03:23] <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
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <cyberanger> uh, yeah, that reminds me, I was gonna shoot you a list of stuff for that
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <cyberanger> well, if you want the list, I can get that this week (thanksgivining should have all my machines in the same room)
[03:51] <Dan9186[MM]> oh well, spambots can have it, does not matter to me
[11:01]  * cyberanger just repaired his wifi card & volia
[11:01] <cyberanger> it works
[11:33] <wrst> cool cyberanger
[11:34] <cyberanger> wrst: didn't expect you to be up at 5:30
[11:34] <wrst> that's my get up time cyberanger
[11:35] <wrst> thankfully it wont be for the next four days after today
[11:35] <cyberanger> hehe, well all the more reason to celebrate
[11:36] <cyberanger> I had to rewire the antennas, then run rfkill to clear the card again
[11:37] <cyberanger> but I knew it was an antenna issue or something of that nature
[11:38] <cyberanger> so it's all fixed, woot
[11:40] <wrst> cool cyberanger
[11:40] <wrst> how did you figure all of that out?
[11:41] <cyberanger> for once, a nice clean error message was straight forward
[11:41] <cyberanger> not to metion the timing of things
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <cyberanger> since software was working the day before the error, but the housing issue got worse in between, rather convinent
[12:10] <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
[12:38] <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
[13:32] <cyberanger> that's common, but I don't think all are that way
[13:32] <cyberanger> maybe they are, idk
[13:33] <cyberanger> but it seems to be real common on the machines I've seen personally
[13:40] <wrst> that's good to know cyberanger
[13:41] <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
[14:41] <cyberanger> & the point you raise up like a linksys wrt54gl
[14:42] <cyberanger> less metal, only thin plastic (my case it's too thin)
[14:50] <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
[15:04] <cyberanger> yours too
[15:06] <cyberanger> that's my issue
[15:06] <cyberanger> plastic broke, sorta like a stripped screw
[15:06] <cyberanger> dumb kensington lock
[15:10] <wrst> yeah cyberanger its cracking around the hinge and starting to hang open
[15:11] <wrst> i would love to buy from zareason or system76 but the big box guys have a lot better deals on better hardware
[15:34] <cyberanger> I'd like empror penguin's toughbooks
[15:37] <wrst> i will check them out cyberanger
[15:43] <wrst> ahh yes i have looked at them, they dont' look like  the most modern looking stuff in the world
[15:47] <cyberanger> true, but they just don't break
[15:48] <cyberanger> it might be overkill, it certainly kills my wallet, but I do want it sturdy
[15:49] <cyberanger> it doesn't have to be a toughbook, but toughbooks just don't break
[15:53] <wrst> yeah i was speaking of all their stuff isn't the most modern in the world
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <cyberanger> I'm replacing a 2 & 1/2 year old HP
[15:56] <cyberanger> quality varies in brands too, not just between them
[15:57] <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
[15:58] <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
[16:21] <Xpistos> Morning er body
[16:21] <Xpistos> wrst
[16:22] <wrst> hey Xpistos
[16:22] <wrst> what's going on?
[16:27] <Xpistos> not much
[16:27] <Xpistos> slow day at work
[16:45] <cyberanger> hey Xpistos
[16:45] <Xpistos> hey dude
[16:46] <cyberanger> wrst: video is a mess, open, closed, broken or old
[16:46] <cyberanger> intel, chip, open, old
[16:51] <wrst> cyberanger:  i really have no issues with nvidia using their driver
[16:52] <wrst> ati on the other hand ....
[16:53] <cyberanger> it depends on the card too, we are talking drivers after all
[16:54] <cyberanger> plus it was a broad comment, meant more as a statement for an area of improvement
[16:56] <wrst> agreed on that but i've foudn that with modern nvidia stuff i've had no issues really
[16:58] <cyberanger> I found one, the pricetag
[16:58] <wrst> that is true but it works
[17:33] <cyberanger> my wallet disagrees on it working here ;-)
[17:38]  * 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
[18:18] <cyberanger> Dan9186[MM]: are you still needing that list, I can get it tommorow
[18:20] <wrst> cyberanger: when i was pricing cards for my desktop not a huge difference but in laptops seems to be a huge difference
[19:07] <wrst> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/23/darily_ubuntu_updates/
[20:02] <cyberanger> well, it's laptops i use the most, but even desktops can be overboard when integrated would do
[20:04] <wrst> well if you never use graphics i suppose so cyberanger :P
[22:14] <wrst> mhall119: i am enjoying your facebook post :)
[22:19] <mhall119> thanks
[22:25] <wrst> you are welcome
