[04:23] <elijah-mbp> merry christmas!
[16:10] <netritious> Happy Holidays locotn!
[16:11] <wrst> hey hey netritious !!!
[16:11] <wrst> how are things going?
[16:11] <netritious> pretty good wrst!
[16:12] <wrst> awesome, we are sorta snow bound here today
[16:12] <netritious> they promised that to west tn but no dice
[16:12] <netritious> it tried though
[16:13] <netritious> how is/was your Christmas going wrst?
[16:13] <wrst> going well, how about you netritious ?
[16:16] <netritious> pretty good...been a busy holiday season for me and the fam
[16:16] <wrst> well sometimes busy is good but it can be a distraction sometimes with all the busy we came in from fayetteville last night in the snow that was a fun drive
[16:17] <netritious> hehe I bet it was
[16:17] <wrst> yeah not so bad for the driving just the idiots who thought they could drive 60 on ice... and then seeing them in the ditch in a few miles
[16:20] <netritious> that sux... did you stop to see if they were ok?
[16:20] <wrst> cops had them under control :)
[16:20] <netritious> I'm not 100% certain that I would :P
[16:20] <netritious> well that's nice
[16:21] <wrst> netritious: i have been giving arch linux a pretty good try as i'm waiting for natty, and 10.10 has been a bit of a dog for me
[16:21] <netritious> ....98% certain, but not 100% certain
[16:21] <wrst> ha ha netritious :)
[16:22] <netritious> I installed UNR (lucid) on my friends asus eeepc...it's running well
[16:22] <netritious> it had Xandros but it looked like XP lol
[16:22] <wrst> yeah lucid has been great for me still have it going on a server
[16:23] <wrst> i hear xandros is awful
[16:23] <netritious> all the windows that opened up looked exactly like XP
[16:23] <wrst> but 10.10 has been giving me terrible fits running VM's, in arch they run like butter
[16:24] <wrst> netritious: i don't think having something looking like xp is good it makes people expect it to be just like xp
[16:24] <netritious> the default install of UNR+updates/upgrades+apt-get --purge --auto-remove clean is also slightly smaller footprint
[16:25] <netritious> wrst: that's a reasonable point
[16:25] <wrst> that's cool
[16:25] <netritious> there is a whole whopping 1GB of disk storage left on the 4GB SSD
[16:26] <netritious> oh and -evolution* empathy* cheese* and one or two other packages, +ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:26] <wrst> 1GB is not what it used to be is it netritious ? :)
[16:27] <netritious> lol not at all wrst
[16:27] <wrst> i remember my first computer had a 500 somethign MB drive total
[16:27] <netritious> my first computer had 64k
[16:27] <wrst> woot :)
[16:28] <wrst> oh yeah i forgot about the commodore 64 that i had
[16:28] <netritious> 65536 bytes
[16:28] <wrst> :)
[16:28] <netritious> I cheated and broke out the calc...i didn't recall that off the top of my head :P
[16:29] <wrst> ha ha :)
[16:29]  * netritious is getting old!
[16:29] <wrst> well netritious gotta get ready to go to the parents for lunch hopefully i will catch you later

[17:13] <cyberanger> cool, reminds me of billix

[17:16] <netritious> that is the cheapest price I can find on new
[17:19] <cyberanger> roughly the same here
[17:21] <netritious> I found one with a six month warranty from a company I've never heard of.."white label 1tb" for 44.89 + free shipping http://tinyurl.com/ydoyfkk
[17:22] <cyberanger> found one that includes a enclosure
[17:22] <netritious> link?
[17:23] <cyberanger> doesn't beat your price though
[17:23]  * cyberanger tries to remember howto cnp on android

[17:31] <cyberanger> seems I didn't keep that enclosure one though
[17:32] <cyberanger> honestly, that wasn't the beat deal, since minus the enclosure it was 65

[18:36] <wrst> hello cyberanger
[18:49] <cyberanger> hey wrst
[18:49] <cyberanger> hos's things
[18:55] <wrst> pretty good cyberanger about to put dd-wrt on my parents router they are having some issues
[18:56] <wrst> or tomato possibly
[18:59] <wrst> ahh tomato won't work with this router
[18:59] <wrst> but dd-wrt will
[19:00] <cyberanger> what router?
[19:02] <wrst> linksys wrt54g version 5
[19:04] <cyberanger> ouch, one too new
[19:04] <cyberanger> wxworks
[19:04] <wrst> yeah that's what i'm finding and looks like i might brick it if i try dd-wrt
[19:06] <cyberanger> might
[19:07] <wrst> yeah i don't have a spare router or i would risk it :0
[19:07] <wrst> *:)
[19:09] <wrst> cyberanger: i'm going to upgrade the factory firmware and see what that does
[20:18] <cyberanger> wrst: well, just don't brick it
[20:51] <wrst> that fixed my issue cyberanger
[20:51] <cyberanger> cool
[20:52] <wrst> linux firmware will have to wait I suppose
[20:52] <cyberanger> well, I'm not really sure it's linux anyhow
[20:53] <cyberanger> how much of the components it's replacing wxworks with linux tools
[20:58] <wrst> yeah its working now so im happy :)
[21:00] <cyberanger> I'm not
[21:00]  * cyberanger hears voices saying linux or a brick, that's the only choice
[21:01] <wrst> ha ha :)
[21:17]  * cyberanger also hears voices saying to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, luckily I'm not too insane, they kindly suggest I check my chute first ;-)
[21:18] <wrst> :)
[21:18] <wrst> well i'm looking to ditch windows completely at home trying out gnucash
[21:19]  * cyberanger hands wrst a paper ledger, suggests a csv file, knows it is doable
[21:19] <wrst> bah madness!
[21:21] <wrst> importing importing importing
[21:23] <wrst> will have to continue with that later
[21:35] <cyberanger> hehe
