| maxolasersquad | I think I just found a new level of geekness. IRC through telnet! | 05:19 |
| maxolasersquad | Hmmm... Having to regularly PONG the server is no fun. :( | 05:23 |
| crashsystems1 | Btw tron legacy was awesome! | 08:25 |

| itnet7 | Hey there PocketBrain ! How are you ? | 17:01 |
| PocketBrain | Yo | 17:01 |
| PocketBrain | wow, a real human bean | 17:02 |
| itnet7 | lol | 17:02 |
| PocketBrain | Ever since the sunset of dialup, it is hard to find a full room with real human beans in it. | 17:02 |
| PocketBrain | :-P | 17:02 |
| itnet7 | All week I have been stuck in a class basically without connectivity | 17:02 |
| itnet7 | :-) | 17:02 |
| PocketBrain | heh. I have the great firewall of Lockheed-Martin to contend with at work; my Dell Streak does a handy job of opening up the world for me. | 17:03 |
| itnet7 | Sweet, do you like the Streak? | 17:03 |
| itnet7 | I have heard some good things about it | 17:04 |
| PocketBrain | They implemented the new firewall right after China dropped theirs for the 2008 olympics. I think they got it 2nd hand from China. Yes, L-M uses a firewall that was too restrictive for a totalitarian communist regime. | 17:04 |
| itnet7 | ROFL PocketBrain ! | 17:04 |
| RoAkSoAx | iit1dude how are you? | 17:04 |
| PocketBrain | It's pretty awesome; I do have a plan phone, but I managed to upgrade to Android 2.2 anyway. | 17:04 |
| RoAkSoAx | itnet7: | 17:04 |
| itnet7 | Hey there RoAkSoAx ! | 17:04 |
| PocketBrain | I might try out DJ Steve's most current ROM when I get a chance. | 17:05 |
| itnet7 | cool! | 17:05 |
| PocketBrain | I think everybody in the world with a Streak has 2.2 EXCEPT the AT&T plan models. | 17:05 |
| PocketBrain | RoAkSoAx wzup | 17:06 |
| RoAkSoAx | hi PocketBrain | 17:06 |
| PocketBrain | I wonder how fast they will get Ginger up and running... | 17:07 |
| itnet7 | I would love to take gingerbread for a test spin | 17:07 |
| itnet7 | I have been having problems with my Evo, Sprint is giving me a replacement on Monday | 17:08 |
| PocketBrain | Aw man, I should record my boot test with Ubuntu on that old Dell laptop... WinXP takes like 5 minutes to boot from the HDD, UBU 10.10 requires 53 seconds to boot, login, start OO.o word, enter 1 word, save, and shutdown. | 17:08 |
| PocketBrain | Aw man. Buddy at work just got his Evo. Has a couple of issues. Their 4G is actually WiMax, ya know? | 17:09 |
| PocketBrain | (of course, 10.10 is booting from an old SSD) | 17:09 |
| itnet7 | Yeah I heard that about the wimax | 17:10 |
| itnet7 | Awesome on the boot time btw | 17:11 |
| PocketBrain | Zalright, it's still faster than 3G. | 17:12 |
| PocketBrain | I should acquire another 5.2krpm hard drive for the laptop and do a real boot comparison between the two. Ever since 10.4, though, Ubuntu has supported SSDs, right? | 17:13 |
| itnet7 | yes | 17:13 |
| itnet7 | I want to check out the viewsonic tablet! | 17:14 |
| PocketBrain | It really shows. | 17:14 |
| PocketBrain | Android tablets are the next big thing; I think it's going to kill Chrome OS. | 17:15 |
| PocketBrain | Google will most likely fork Android to run on such devices, as they are being used as such already, and that will leave very little market for Chrome devices. | 17:16 |
| PocketBrain | #1 benefit of Android 2.2: tethering. WiFi, BlueToot, or USB. I get a little bit moist thinking about it. | 17:21 |
| itnet7 | PocketBrain: lol!! | 17:21 |
| PocketBrain | I like that USB tethering just worked when I tested it on a laptop booted to Fedora 14 at work. | 17:24 |
| PocketBrain | USB thumb drive OS no less. | 17:25 |
| itnet7 | Yeah, I love the fact that the ACL's actually work without killing the connection now!! | 17:28 |
| itnet7 | for Wifi Tether | 17:28 |
| PocketBrain | Now I just have to become a WINE pro. :-) There are a few crucial games that are tethering me to a MS OS. | 17:33 |
| PocketBrain | wotup gidim | 17:36 |
| gidim | Whoa, people! Yay! | 17:36 |
| PocketBrain | heh, I said the same thing. | 17:37 |
| gidim | It's been so quiet in here when I've been around lately. | 17:37 |
| itnet7 | PocketBrain: I just recently bought the left4dead 2 game from steam, just have to tweak it a bit to get better fps | 17:37 |
| PocketBrain | You running in WINE? | 17:37 |
| itnet7 | yup | 17:37 |
| PocketBrain | (itnet7) | 17:37 |
| itnet7 | using the ppa | 17:37 |
| PocketBrain | rawk. I wonder how StarCraft 2 would fare. | 17:37 |
| PocketBrain | I ran SC1 on an older Ubuntu/PC/WINE and it worked, but the sound was a little laggy. | 17:38 |
| itnet7 | they had a deal at steam where you could buy l4d 2 for 5 bucks | 17:38 |
| PocketBrain | I need to get my brother some steampowered credits so he doesn't have to use my account to play Portal. | 17:38 |
| itnet7 | or you could buy a copy for you and 3 of your friends for 14.99 | 17:38 |
| itnet7 | I haven't purchaseed Starcraft 2 yet, not sure how well they say it runs on wine | 17:39 |
| itnet7 | hey there gidim ! | 17:39 |
| itnet7 | sorry.. | 17:39 |
| itnet7 | This month has been crazy, haven't been able to get in the channel as often as I'd like | 17:39 |
| gidim | I have StarCraft 2. | 17:39 |
| PocketBrain | OOooooooo. I have a physical copy of L4D2 but haven't installed it yet. Hey, when you buy that copy and 3 for your friends, do you have to decide who gets it right away? | 17:39 |
| gidim | I got it running in Wine, but never got to play it. My system is low on the reqs end. | 17:39 |
| itnet7 | PocketBrain: no | 17:39 |
| itnet7 | You get a place in your steam menu where you can send them out whenever | 17:40 |
| PocketBrain | Okay. I have a GeForce GTX 470 card, so I'm good on the hardware side. | 17:40 |
| itnet7 | Wow, the sale is over | 17:41 |
| itnet7 | I was trying to get you the link | 17:41 |
| PocketBrain | aw durn | 17:42 |
| itnet7 | http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/ back up to 59.99 for four copies | 17:42 |
| itnet7 | 19.99 for one | 17:42 |
| gidim | Someday, when I get my EverQuest 1 working on Ubuntu... I will be content. :3 | 17:42 |
| PocketBrain | I gotta grab by bro the Orange Box, anyway, when it is on sale next. | 17:42 |
| itnet7 | I learned about the deal checking deals.woot.com | 17:43 |
| PocketBrain | Long-time wooter myself. Black box. | 17:43 |
| PocketBrain | Also scan slickdeals.net from time to time. | 17:44 |
| itnet7 | gidim: I thought Ever Quest did play on wine | 17:44 |
| itnet7 | not sure how well though | 17:44 |
| itnet7 | Nice PocketBrain ! | 17:44 |
| gidim | It does to a point, but I never seem to have the ideal wine version that plays it perfectly. | 17:44 |
| itnet7 | You should use the one from the ppa and use wine prefixes | 17:44 |
| itnet7 | sometimes replacing the .dll's help too | 17:45 |
| PocketBrain | I wonder if I can get Battlezone and Battlezone 2 to play on WINE? Awesome game, but doesn't run on the NT windows, so I'm hosed from XP on. | 17:45 |
| gidim | I would love to just take a couple years out of my life, access their source and re-code it to run native. They're obviously never going to. :3 | 17:45 |
| itnet7 | :-) | 17:45 |
| PocketBrain | Maybe you could find some haxx0rz in "Anonymous" to get the source for you... give them something to do other than economic terrorism. | 17:46 |
| itnet7 | PocketBrain: you may be able to play it using Dosbox | 17:46 |
| gidim | Indeed. Nothing against those EQemu folks, but I wanna pay my $15/mo and play on the official servers, where I know people. | 17:46 |
| gidim | Well, $45/mo. I have three accounts. | 17:47 |
| itnet7 | Understandable | 17:47 |
| PocketBrain | Nice, BZ2 does indeed run on WINE, with gold rating. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8851&iTestingId=48153 | 17:48 |
| PocketBrain | dang, you're hardcore. I don't have any subscription gaming accounts; I tend to pay the up-front costs and game with "free" play. | 17:49 |
| PocketBrain | http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/ | 17:49 |
| PocketBrain | Afraid of losing myself to the horde, so to speak. | 17:49 |
| PocketBrain | howdy enjalot | 17:52 |
| gidim | Phew, didn't miss much. I was worried. Chris Rock is on Comedy Central. :3 | 18:13 |
| PocketBrain | oooo | 18:13 |
| PocketBrain | watching Portal 2 trailers on steam | 18:14 |
| itnet7 | I don't play anything with a monthly fee | 18:18 |
| gidim | I used to be the same way. When EverQuest came out, I was on Diablo 2 saying, "Haha, suckers! Go ahead, pay a monthly fee, I got non-stop Diablo for free!" | 18:21 |
| gidim | Then, I got a credit card in college, free first month, I tried it... and my social life as I knew it was over, as was my bank account. | 18:22 |
| PocketBrain | Yeah, I can see a pay-for-play service being worth it, but I couldn't afford it after I got fired for showing up late for work after a weekend of no sleep. ;-) | 18:22 |
| itnet7 | :-) I do purchase practically all of the native games that have been release by indies | 18:24 |
| itnet7 | http://www.humblebundle.com/ | 18:25 |
| itnet7 | I am about to get these soon I believe | 18:25 |
| PocketBrain | ooooo | 18:25 |
| PocketBrain | Nifty. All compatible with Linux. | 18:28 |
| itnet7 | yup | 18:29 |
| itnet7 | I played the deme of some of them, really fun. I like the whole concept of them having you name the price too | 18:31 |
| PocketBrain | I might get my brother/kids this. They have both PC and MAC. | 18:31 |
| itnet7 | Not because I'm cheap, but it shows they aren't about the money | 18:31 |
| itnet7 | at least not all about the money | 18:31 |
| gidim | I think I really need to start playing MineCraft. | 18:35 |
| PocketBrain | heh do you? | 18:36 |
| gidim | I think I do, yes. The youtube videos look so fun. | 18:36 |
| PocketBrain | It may take over. | 18:36 |
| PocketBrain | Can you play Cortex Command in windowed mode? Fullscreen on the video makes me a tad queazy. | 18:38 |
| PocketBrain | Nice, and the bundle is giftable. | 18:40 |
| PocketBrain | Hmmm.... it has a piegraph of revenue by platform. Do I have to choose platform for the license? | 18:41 |
| PocketBrain | Howdy Michelle | 18:43 |
| MichelleQ | hi PocketBrain | 18:46 |
| gidim | Alright, I'll be back later, but now I have to get ready to go to work... at Barnes & Noble! :D :D :D | 18:46 |
| itnet7 | PocketBrain: Not sure, haven't bought them yet | 18:46 |
| PocketBrain | so what're you up to on this fine, rainy saturday? | 18:46 |
| gidim | I love my new job. :3 | 18:47 |
| PocketBrain | Later, Gidim. | 18:47 |
| itnet7 | gidim: sweet talk with you soon | 18:47 |
| MichelleQ | I'm working on the house, trying to convince my knee to not scream at me. | 18:48 |
| MichelleQ | itnet7: y'all still headed over today? | 18:48 |
| itnet7 | MichelleQ: we wanted to, but Hannya isn't getting off of work for until around 5 | 18:49 |
| itnet7 | Are you still having it? | 18:49 |
| itnet7 | MichelleQ: is it raining badly in Lakeland? It's pouring here | 18:50 |
| PocketBrain | It was gushing down here in WPB earlier, but it's just drizzle at best now. | 18:51 |
| MichelleQ | itnet7: we're going til about 9. Up to you guys if you want to come. | 18:52 |
| MichelleQ | it's cleared up and is nice and sunny here - cooled off nicely. | 18:52 |
| itnet7 | Let me see what she says when she gets here... I will let you know as soon as I can. | 18:53 |
| MichelleQ | no worries. If you can, come. It's a drop-in-and-out sort of thing, so don't stress | 18:58 |
| itnet7 | bbl | 19:22 |
