[03:28] <dmcglone> Hi everyone
[03:28] <dmcglone> Anyone here use dydns?
[03:28] <Cheri703> I use no-ip
[03:29] <dmcglone> did you buy your domain?
[03:29] <Cheri703> no, I just create a hostname with their free ones
[03:29] <Unit193> Hey dmcglone I use dyn
[03:29] <Cheri703> blah .no-ip.info
[03:30] <dmcglone> I finally decided to sign up for dydns and is says I can get a free domain, but I have to update it monthly to avoid expiration
[03:30] <Unit193> You can just use a auto update
[03:30] <dmcglone> Unit193 are you using the free services
[03:30] <Unit193> Yes I am
[03:30] <dmcglone> is it a pain in the butt?
[03:31] <Unit193> Nope
[03:31] <dmcglone> is it .com .net or .org domains?
[03:31] <Unit193> I have my router update it every time my IP changes
[03:32] <dmcglone> how do you do that?
[03:32] <Unit193> I don't have a example.com one
[03:32] <Unit193> Tomato
[03:32] <dmcglone> so what would my ip look like if I decided to go with the free one?
[03:33] <dmcglone> I mean my domain, not my ip....lol
[03:33] <Unit193> dmcglone.dyndns(or other).com
[03:33] <Unit193> I use homelinux.com
[03:33] <dmcglone> so it's possible to use a .com address right?
[03:34] <Unit193> not dmcglone.com (unless you pay)
[03:34] <Unit193> Does that answer?
[03:35] <dmcglone> yes. do you keep yours private?
[03:35] <Unit193> private?
[03:35] <dmcglone> not tell anyone about it
[03:37] <Unit193> Not much
[03:37] <Unit193> I can PM
[03:37] <Unit193> One of mine was last updated "Apr. 19, 2009 5:42 PM"
[03:37] <dmcglone> I'm just wondering
[03:37] <Unit193> :D
[03:38] <dmcglone> I'm just wondering if it'll be worth the hassle
[03:38] <Unit193> It's not hard... if you use SSH you will love it!
[03:39] <dmcglone> thats what I'm sortof afraid of
[03:41] <Unit193> what part?
[03:42] <Unit193> Your choices kinda stink:https://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/domains.html
[03:44] <dmcglone> they sure do
[03:45] <dmcglone> I'd rather write a php script that would send my phone a message each time my IP changes and just use the IP to access the computers :-)
[03:45] <Unit193> I got it before it went bad (about 4 hosts with better hostnames homeip, selfip, homelinux)
[03:59] <dmcglone> well I chose buddy.dydns.biz and it doesn't seem to work
[04:00] <dmcglone> Try it and see what you get
[04:01] <dmcglone> oops
[04:01] <Unit193> 149.250?
[04:01] <dmcglone> I got it
[04:02] <dmcglone> it's dyndns, I was typing dydns
[04:04] <dmcglone> cool works for me
[04:04] <dmcglone> :-)
[04:04] <Unit193> 13.121?
[04:05] <dmcglone> whats that?
[04:05] <dmcglone> looks like my ip
[04:05] <dmcglone> that was my ip
[04:06] <Unit193> yep!
[04:06] <dmcglone> I'm working on that site
[04:08] <Unit193> Tri-City is on your ip?
[04:08] <Cheri703> tri city?
[04:09] <dmcglone1> had to restart router
[04:09] <Unit193> Cheri703: The question was aimed at dmcglone
[04:09] <Unit193> On his IP http
[04:10] <dmcglone1> Unit193 I missed the question
[04:10] <dmcglone1> I lost internet for a minute
[04:11] <Unit193> "Tri-City is on your ip?"
[04:11] <dmcglone1> Yeah, i am building that website
[04:12] <dmcglone1> Am I still here?
[04:12] <Unit193> Sorry, I had to check it out
[04:12] <dmcglone1> weird
[04:12] <Unit193> yes you are
[04:12] <dmcglone1> Ah my server went down
[04:13] <dmcglone1> dang
[04:13] <dmcglone1> thats why dmcglone left the room
[04:14] <Cheri703> Unit193: tri-city is for my friend :)
[04:16] <Unit193> I remember you guys talking about that....
[04:16] <dmcglone> okie
[04:17] <dmcglone> tried to get up and tripped on the power cord and unplugged the puter
[04:17] <dmcglone> lol
[04:17] <Cheri703> heh
[04:17] <Unit193> That's not good
[04:18] <dmcglone> it never fails to happen to me
[04:18] <Unit193> When doing anything with comp h/w do you ever forget to plug in the power cord? (that seems to be the only one I forget)
[04:19] <dmcglone> I have to plug mine is, my batter can't hold a charge and I can't afford one right now
[04:19] <dmcglone> lol
[04:20] <Unit193> I'd be lucky to be able to get linux on the laptop that I have...
[04:23] <dmcglone> why so?
[04:23] <Unit193> Really bad resources (128RAM, 500MHz)
[04:24] <dmcglone> Use DSL
[04:24] <dmcglone> or Mint
[04:24] <dmcglone> or use a light desktop on gnome
[04:24] <Unit193> Mint isn't small
[04:24] <Unit193> lubuntu?
[04:24] <dmcglone> I'm not sure about that one
[04:24] <dmcglone> something like fluxbox on gnome
[04:25] <Unit193> I'm slowly looking for one (mainly use desktops)
[04:26] <dmcglone> I see. Cheri703 seen the website so far?
[04:27] <Unit193> Really looking into Lucid Puppy (I want to use debian/ubuntu based)
[04:27] <dmcglone> I don't blame you. apt rocks!
[04:28] <Unit193> One website that finds a distro for what you need said I should use fedora or OpenSuse (fedora's sys reqs don't even match)
[04:29] <dmcglone> Geez OpenSuse would probably burn your processor up and literally blow up the mem sticks... LOL
[04:33] <dmcglone> Well I'm gonna head to bed
[04:33] <Unit193> Didn't plan on using either (might glance at fedora)
[04:33] <Unit193> bye~!
[04:33] <dmcglone> fedora is all right, but no apt
[04:33] <dmcglone> I'll catch you later
