| ChinnoDog | That sounds fun | 03:29 |
| ChinnoDog | I have no rocks to climb. :-( | 03:29 |
| andrew | ChinnoDog: Come to PRG in Oaks next time we climb (or anytime, just let me know and I'll be there) | 03:46 |

| JonathanD | Morning. | 12:46 |
| SamuraiAlba | Mornin! | 12:48 |
| SamuraiAlba | Should I play some runescape, today? | 14:19 |
| ChinnoDog | andrew: I decided that I wasn't into Alarm Clock Plus and installed Alarm Click Xtreme. It doesn't have a nice display for showing the time at night but I can still use the included clock app for that. | 14:41 |
| JonathanD | I use alarm clock ultra extreme super deluxe. | 14:41 |
| JonathanD | It shoots me in the head when it's time to wake up. | 14:42 |
| andrew | JonathanD: Does this alarm's name start with a 'J'? | 14:45 |
| JonathanD | no. | 14:45 |
| JonathanD | they sleep later than I do. | 14:45 |
| JonathanD | I don't use an alarm clock. I just wake up "naturally" | 14:45 |
| andrew | Is that what they are calling it now? | 14:47 |
| andrew | Anyways... | 14:47 |
| andrew | How was everyone's drive this morning? | 14:47 |
| JonathanD | yes. | 14:48 |
| JonathanD | drive was great | 14:48 |
| andrew | Good to hear, same here | 14:49 |
| andrew | better than my drive home from Oaks last nigth | 14:49 |
| JonathanD | light traffic. | 14:49 |
| JonathanD | no ice. | 14:49 |
| andrew | JonathanD: I'm telling you, geeknic at PRG | 14:49 |
| JonathanD | What is a PRG? | 14:49 |
| andrew | http://www.philarockgym.com/ | 14:50 |
| PennBot | Title: Philadelphia Rock Gyms (at www.philarockgym.com) | 14:50 |
| JonathanD | would they allow such a thing. | 14:50 |
| JonathanD | ? | 14:50 |
| JonathanD | oh, they do parties. | 14:51 |
| JonathanD | well, might be fun :P | 14:51 |
| JonathanD | assuming I don't break my hip | 14:51 |
| andrew | Why would you break your hip? History? | 14:52 |
| JonathanD | I have a bad hip :P | 14:52 |
| andrew | Ah | 14:52 |
| JonathanD | I probably wouldn't. I have arthritis, and I've never actually determined why it came on so early, so I'm always slightly wary. | 14:53 |
| JonathanD | I should see a doctor about it some day. | 14:53 |
| andrew | I saw some guy climbing the other week who had to be in his 70s | 14:54 |
| JonathanD | andrew: I'm not opposed ot it :P | 14:54 |
| JonathanD | I've climbed at geeknics before, you know. | 14:54 |
| andrew | that rock doesn't count | 14:55 |
| JonathanD | are we still doing that AT thing? | 14:55 |
| andrew | Are able people interested? | 14:56 |
| JonathanD | I'll ask long island | 14:56 |
| JonathanD | andrew: do you have a start and stop point chosen? | 14:58 |
| andrew | No idea yet, hadn't thought much until about 4 minutes ago | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | Some interest from LI | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | I do believe the AT touched on our park last year. | 14:59 |
| JonathanD | andrew: did you find last year to offer better hiking options than jenny? | 15:04 |
| andrew | JonathanD: Yes, we did a mile or two of it last year | 15:32 |
| mikedep333 | who was it here that needed my spare 12V 1A adapter for their netgear? | 18:08 |
| mikedep333 | I'm in King of Prussia now | 18:08 |
| JonathanD | It wasn't me, although I need(ed) one too. | 18:09 |
| mikedep333 | oh, it was Andrew | 18:10 |
| mikedep333 | * andrew | 18:10 |
| mikedep333 | well, if he can't pick it up, you can have it | 18:10 |
| mikedep333 | it's a linksys ac adapter, but it should work fine | 18:11 |
| mikedep333 | in a netgear | 18:11 |
| JonathanD | I found 3 yesterday. | 18:11 |
| JonathanD | :) | 18:11 |
| mikedep333 | lol | 18:11 |
| mikedep333 | where at? | 18:11 |
| JonathanD | on the other hand, if he can't pick it up, I could eventually give it to him on your behalf. | 18:11 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, great | 18:11 |
| JonathanD | my place is in bridgeport, not far from KOP. | 18:12 |
| mikedep333 | I haven't been going to any PLUG meetings because I've been so busy with moving and whatnot | 18:12 |
| mikedep333 | so there was a dell laptop in my basement | 18:12 |
| mikedep333 | I thought it was my brother's old 14" latitude C600 series or something | 18:12 |
| mikedep333 | which was largely functional | 18:12 |
| JonathanD | I found a collection of power cables at work. They were supposed to be tossed. | 18:12 |
| mikedep333 | I went to look at it | 18:12 |
| JonathanD | C600s are good ol stuff. | 18:12 |
| JonathanD | I have parts from one I just dismantled if you need anything. | 18:13 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, working CD/DVD drive? | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | Yes. | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | the pop-out one that goes in the front, aye? | 18:13 |
| mikedep333 | it has a CD-RW/DVD combo, but it gets read errors every 50MB or so | 18:13 |
| mikedep333 | I think so | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | I do have one. | 18:13 |
| mikedep333 | I think his is one of the later C600 series | 18:13 |
| mikedep333 | it has a pentium 4-m 1.6 ghz | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | The latch that holds it into the case might be a little flakey. | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | yeah, this is older. | 18:13 |
| JonathanD | PIII 700mhz, I think. | 18:14 |
| mikedep333 | guess how I managed to install ubuntu (some old version like 7.04 or whatever) on this computer using the CD/DVD drive? | 18:14 |
| JonathanD | I took ram and other stuff from it to make an inspiron 8000 work. | 18:14 |
| mikedep333 | yeah | 18:14 |
| JonathanD | eject it frequently? | 18:14 |
| mikedep333 | I used the mini cd! | 18:14 |
| mikedep333 | I love it | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | oh! hah | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | right now it is only 20MB | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | back then it was only 10MB or so | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | awesome. | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | I love network installs | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | I had some video issues with the 8000 | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | no old packages you have to immediately upgrade after you install the OS itself | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | but anyway | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | I've not yet completely resolved them. | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | I thought this was my brother's latitude | 18:15 |
| mikedep333 | it was actually an inspiron 2300 | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | ONce I do I'm giving it to my son. | 18:15 |
| JonathanD | good ol dells. | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | a 15" budget model with 128MB of RAM & a pentium 3 (mobile?) 1.13 ghz | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | and xp home | 18:16 |
| JonathanD | oh dear :P | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | I had an old featherlinux cd in it | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | I think it was one of the people from my neighborhood who brought their computer to me to repair it | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | without explaining too well what was the problem | 18:16 |
| JonathanD | I found a fairly old debian disk in the C600 | 18:16 |
| mikedep333 | and I had misdiagnosed it or something. I think featherlinux failed to boot, so I thought the hardware was defective. | 18:17 |
| mikedep333 | but it did boot into xp home, and took like an hour to stop swapping upon startup | 18:17 |
| mikedep333 | because it had 128MB of RAM | 18:17 |
| JonathanD | yeah. Pitiful :P | 18:17 |
| JonathanD | I put 512MB and Ubuntu 10.04 in this one. | 18:17 |
| mikedep333 | at least it has ethernet | 18:17 |
| mikedep333 | and I think it has wi-fi | 18:17 |
| JonathanD | mine doesn't :( | 18:17 |
| JonathanD | The mini-pci is missing. | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | yeah | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | oh | 18:18 |
| JonathanD | the ports exist, but they lead to no where. | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | I have an old mini-pci wi-fi card | 18:18 |
| JonathanD | and no wifi. I put a PCMCIA in | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, wait, you mean there are no antennas going to the mini-pci? | 18:18 |
| JonathanD | mikedep333: no, it didn't have built in wifi in the first place | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, ok | 18:18 |
| JonathanD | the built in ethernet/modem were attached to a mini-pci | 18:18 |
| mikedep333 | gotcha | 18:19 |
| JonathanD | the leads from the ethernet/modem ports are in the mini-pci bay | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | I will set it up as a guest computer at my dad's house | 18:19 |
| JonathanD | but no card | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | I think I have 2 128MB sticks of pc100 | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | although it may have pc133 in it now | 18:19 |
| JonathanD | I have a pile of something here. | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | I have another stick without its specs on it that may be better | 18:19 |
| JonathanD | probably 64s though | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | yeah | 18:19 |
| mikedep333 | I'll look up the #s on the labels, or on the chips | 18:20 |
| JonathanD | yup, these are 64s | 18:20 |
| JonathanD | I had 2 256s that went into the inspiron, best i had on hand. | 18:20 |
| mikedep333 | hopefully this laptop has 2 dimm slots | 18:20 |
| mikedep333 | let me google inspiron 2300 | 18:20 |
| mikedep333 | hmm | 18:21 |
| mikedep333 | I think I remember the model # wrong | 18:21 |
| mikedep333 | ahh, yes | 18:21 |
| mikedep333 | 2600 | 18:21 |
| JonathanD | an atari! | 18:21 |
| mikedep333 | lol | 18:21 |
| mikedep333 | dell made atari! | 18:22 |
| mikedep333 | I had an atari I used to play | 18:22 |
| mikedep333 | it belonged to my uncle I think | 18:22 |
| mikedep333 | I was using it at the same time I played my NES | 18:22 |
| mikedep333 | I think it was a 2600 | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | Theres one at impact thrift. | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | If you want it :p | 18:22 |
| JonathanD | and an NES too, actually. | 18:23 |
| mikedep333 | yeah, it uses pc 133 | 18:23 |
| mikedep333 | never been to impact thrift | 18:23 |
| JonathanD | I was there looking for power cords. | 18:23 |
| JonathanD | :) | 18:23 |
| mikedep333 | never been to impact thrift? | 18:23 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, standard PC power cords? | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | the 3 prongs | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | I don't know their technical name | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | I have a lot of them | 18:24 |
| JonathanD | mikedep333: no. the 12V router kind | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | right | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | I always call them AC adapters | 18:24 |
| JonathanD | I have hundreds of standard PC cords. | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | or power warts | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | lol | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | because the cable portion of one of those is like $.15 | 18:24 |
| mikedep333 | but the actual ac adapter/wart portion is like $3 | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | it's a C13, btw. | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | teh PC cord. | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | cool | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | I met one old PC | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | or very, very rarely a C14, on some oddball servers. | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | it had like an inverted C13 on one end | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | oh yes. | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | for the monitor | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | the power supply on the desktop passed power onto the monitor | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | lol, yeah! | 18:25 |
| JonathanD | That used to be quite common. | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | reminds me of that one ancient computer | 18:25 |
| mikedep333 | that had the PSU in the printer | 18:26 |
| mikedep333 | so if the printer broke or got lost, you couldn't use the computer! | 18:26 |
| JonathanD | clearly they should have made everything powered by teh keyboard, instead. | 18:26 |
| mikedep333 | lol | 18:27 |
| mikedep333 | what's it called | 18:27 |
| mikedep333 | amiga! | 18:27 |
| mikedep333 | oh, wait | 18:27 |
| mikedep333 | not amiga | 18:27 |
| mikedep333 | sigh, I hate seeing everything conform to the x86 PC standard | 18:29 |
| mikedep333 | that's why I love ARM computing | 18:29 |
| JonathanD | I should get some work done. | 18:30 |
| mikedep333 | I just opened the inspiron 2600 | 18:31 |
| mikedep333 | I think the 2nd DIMm is under the keyboard | 18:31 |
| mikedep333 | :( | 18:31 |
| mikedep333 | ttyl | 18:31 |
| erstazi | bts3685|1ps: hey | 19:43 |
| JonathanD | can anyone use all these 1GB DDR2 laptop modules that seem to be around here? | 20:20 |
| JonathanD | I found 4 so far today. | 20:21 |
| MutantTurkey | o/ | 20:46 |
| ChinnoDog | JonathanD: "found"? Are they growing on trees? | 20:50 |
| JonathanD | yes. | 20:50 |
| ChinnoDog | sweet | 20:50 |
| ChinnoDog | I need a RAM tree as well. | 20:50 |
| JonathanD | ChinnoDog: they're in the bins here. | 20:50 |
| JonathanD | The bins I'm supposed to be emptying of stuff we don't need. | 20:51 |
| JonathanD | Like 12VDC power supplies and PC power cords. | 20:51 |
| JonathanD | and 1GB DDR2s | 20:51 |
| ChinnoDog | I could use a couple if they are available. My dad is still running Vista on 1GB. It is sad. | 20:51 |
| JonathanD | this is laptop ram, if you missed that. | 20:52 |
| JonathanD | if thats ok I have em. | 20:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Yes, he is running Vista with 1gb on a laptop. Even worse. | 20:52 |
| JonathanD | how many slots? | 20:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Two. I donated 512mb to him. The laptop came with 512. | 20:53 |
| JonathanD | Alright | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | I'll hold on to 2 for ya | 20:54 |
| ChinnoDog | yay | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | I just found a 5th one | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | and a 512 | 20:54 |
| ChinnoDog | Ubuntu Hour RAM swap? | 20:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I have some old PC100. haha | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | what a deal :p | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | ooh, a microdrive | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | wonder if it works :/ | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | anyone got a CF adater? :) | 20:56 |
| jedijf | couple | 20:56 |
| jedijf | cf to ide | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | I used to have a CF to PCMCIA | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | iirc I used this microdrive in my jornada | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | back in the day. | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | not much use to it these days, with multiGB SD cards out there. | 20:57 |
| jedijf | that too | 20:57 |
| MutantTurkey | I a ton of old ram | 21:03 |
| JonathanD | Oh no! | 21:04 |
| JonathanD | accidentally? | 21:04 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: WOOHOOO. my phone randomly started working with usb : | 21:28 |
| MutantTurkey | (: | 21:28 |
| MutantTurkey | wait jk :/ | 21:29 |
| MutantTurkey | wait... | 21:29 |
| MutantTurkey | yes! :D | 21:29 |
| JonathanD | wiat | 21:30 |
| MutantTurkey | sigh nevermind | 21:31 |
| andrew | ? | 21:32 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: wait | 21:35 |
| jedijf | i am starting to susect that phone is not the problem | 21:36 |
| jedijf | suspect | 21:36 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: are you sure? | 21:38 |
| MutantTurkey | i feel like it is. | 21:38 |
| MutantTurkey | because the usb port is now only working sometimes | 21:38 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: now that you are on your more regular schedule, we have to try at franconis sometime | 21:40 |
| jedijf | when my schedule gets more regular | 21:41 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: yeah my new schedule is indeed fabulous | 21:41 |
| MutantTurkey | so whenever your free shoot me a message | 21:44 |
| jedijf | yeah, just would like to test on known to work system | 21:44 |
| jedijf | to rule out phone being bad | 21:45 |
| JonathanD | bad to the phone | 21:46 |
| jedijf | da da da da *da* | 21:46 |
| MutantTurkey | right | 21:47 |
| MutantTurkey | would AT&T replace my phone for free since i just got it recently? | 21:47 |
| jedijf | can't see why not, did you get it locally | 21:48 |
| MutantTurkey | i think right at the AT&T store by willow grove mall | 21:48 |
| MutantTurkey | near the olive garden | 21:48 |
| jedijf | next to olive garden | 21:48 |
| jedijf | k | 21:48 |
| MutantTurkey | you got it | 21:48 |
| jedijf | yeah, they were sold out when i got there, had to go to inside mall store and wait | 21:48 |
| MutantTurkey | I'd go down myself, somehow i think they'd just jerk me around and give me crappy answer cause i am not an adult | 21:48 |
| jedijf | that just sucks | 21:49 |
| jedijf | they shouldn't | 21:49 |
| MutantTurkey | don't you think they would? | 21:49 |
| jedijf | when i was younger....that would infuriate me....depends on how you carry/present yourself | 21:50 |
| MutantTurkey | I look like a hipster i guess, I carry myself by foot. that about sums it up. | 21:50 |
| jedijf | nothing ventured...nothing gained...just go in knowing that you can resolve the situation...much of it is confidence and acting like an adult | 21:51 |
| MutantTurkey | indeed | 21:52 |
| MutantTurkey | Also about the account is a giant family plan, so I'm not sure, also do i need ID or something to prove i own the phone? | 21:52 |
| jedijf | you may have to be the 'authorized' person,or added to the list of 'authorized' people | 21:53 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah i was thinking about that. | 21:53 |
| jedijf | last 4 social of account holder is usually required ...maybe dob | 21:53 |
| MutantTurkey | I'll just bring one of my parents along | 21:54 |
| jedijf | or that | 21:55 |
| jedijf | :) | 21:55 |
| ChinnoDog | Newegg Mobile in Android market? That is a dangerous app for me to have on my phone. | 21:58 |
| JonathanD | I'm very good at not buying things. | 22:00 |
| andrew | haha | 22:00 |
| JonathanD | I end up debating buying most products for so long, by the time I make my decision the product is discontinued. | 22:04 |
| ChinnoDog | That is a comittment problem. haha. | 22:30 |
| * ChinnoDog hopes his 32gb microsd from newegg arrives soon | 22:31 | |
| JonathanD | I just tried to place my order for an Apple II. | 22:31 |
| JonathanD | The phone number from the catalog didn't even work anymore! | 22:31 |
| andrew | JonathanD: Remember, I have an Apple II sitting by my desk at work, it will soon be tossed. | 22:40 |
| ChinnoDog | poor apple II | 22:56 |
| ChinnoDog | I used to use Logo Writer on that. | 22:57 |
| ChinnoDog | I have a PC version somewhere. Unfortunately it is on a 5.25" floppy. | 22:57 |
