[02:26] @crickets [02:26] http://www.instantcrickets.com === rmg511 is now known as rmg51 [03:23] ChinnoDog: Sorry, I was busy rock climbing [03:29] That sounds fun [03:29] I have no rocks to climb. :-( [03:46] ChinnoDog: Come to PRG in Oaks next time we climb (or anytime, just let me know and I'll be there) [12:21] first day of classes :o [12:38] Mornin! [12:38] What major? [12:40] digital production [12:42] Ahhh... Save your ducats [12:43] get a Wacom Cintiq 21UX [12:43] :) [12:43] ducats? [12:43] You can go to... autodesk and check their student software. I think every package is a free download and 3 year license for .edu email addy students [12:44] http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_center [12:44] Title: Download Center (at students.autodesk.com) [12:45] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/dd759402 [12:45] Title: Student Resources (at msdn.microsoft.com) [12:45] http://lifehacker.com/5727786/software-discounts-you-can-get-with-an-edu-email-address [12:45] Title: Software Discounts You Can Get With An .EDU Email Address (at lifehacker.com) [12:45] I did my... um... research [12:46] Morning. [12:48] Mornin! [14:19] Should I play some runescape, today? [14:41] 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] I use alarm clock ultra extreme super deluxe. [14:42] It shoots me in the head when it's time to wake up. [14:45] JonathanD: Does this alarm's name start with a 'J'? [14:45] no. [14:45] they sleep later than I do. [14:45] I don't use an alarm clock. I just wake up "naturally" [14:47] Is that what they are calling it now? [14:47] Anyways... [14:47] How was everyone's drive this morning? [14:48] yes. [14:48] drive was great [14:49] Good to hear, same here [14:49] better than my drive home from Oaks last nigth [14:49] light traffic. [14:49] no ice. [14:49] JonathanD: I'm telling you, geeknic at PRG [14:49] What is a PRG? [14:50] http://www.philarockgym.com/ [14:50] Title: Philadelphia Rock Gyms (at www.philarockgym.com) [14:50] would they allow such a thing. [14:50] ? [14:51] oh, they do parties. [14:51] well, might be fun :P [14:51] assuming I don't break my hip [14:52] Why would you break your hip? History? [14:52] I have a bad hip :P [14:52] Ah [14:53] 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] I should see a doctor about it some day. [14:54] I saw some guy climbing the other week who had to be in his 70s [14:54] andrew: I'm not opposed ot it :P [14:54] I've climbed at geeknics before, you know. [14:55] that rock doesn't count [14:55] are we still doing that AT thing? [14:56] Are able people interested? [14:56] I'll ask long island [14:58] andrew: do you have a start and stop point chosen? [14:59] No idea yet, hadn't thought much until about 4 minutes ago [14:59] Some interest from LI [14:59] I do believe the AT touched on our park last year. [15:04] andrew: did you find last year to offer better hiking options than jenny? [15:32] JonathanD: Yes, we did a mile or two of it last year [18:08] who was it here that needed my spare 12V 1A adapter for their netgear? [18:08] I'm in King of Prussia now [18:09] It wasn't me, although I need(ed) one too. [18:10] oh, it was Andrew [18:10] * andrew [18:10] well, if he can't pick it up, you can have it [18:11] it's a linksys ac adapter, but it should work fine [18:11] in a netgear [18:11] I found 3 yesterday. [18:11] :) [18:11] lol [18:11] where at? [18:11] on the other hand, if he can't pick it up, I could eventually give it to him on your behalf. [18:11] JonathanD, great [18:12] my place is in bridgeport, not far from KOP. [18:12] I haven't been going to any PLUG meetings because I've been so busy with moving and whatnot [18:12] so there was a dell laptop in my basement [18:12] I thought it was my brother's old 14" latitude C600 series or something [18:12] which was largely functional [18:12] I found a collection of power cables at work. They were supposed to be tossed. [18:12] I went to look at it [18:12] C600s are good ol stuff. [18:13] I have parts from one I just dismantled if you need anything. [18:13] JonathanD, working CD/DVD drive? [18:13] Yes. [18:13] the pop-out one that goes in the front, aye? [18:13] it has a CD-RW/DVD combo, but it gets read errors every 50MB or so [18:13] I think so [18:13] I do have one. [18:13] I think his is one of the later C600 series [18:13] it has a pentium 4-m 1.6 ghz [18:13] The latch that holds it into the case might be a little flakey. [18:13] yeah, this is older. [18:14] PIII 700mhz, I think. [18:14] 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] I took ram and other stuff from it to make an inspiron 8000 work. [18:14] yeah [18:14] eject it frequently? [18:14] I used the mini cd! [18:15] I love it [18:15] oh! hah [18:15] right now it is only 20MB [18:15] back then it was only 10MB or so [18:15] awesome. [18:15] I love network installs [18:15] I had some video issues with the 8000 [18:15] no old packages you have to immediately upgrade after you install the OS itself [18:15] but anyway [18:15] I've not yet completely resolved them. [18:15] I thought this was my brother's latitude [18:15] it was actually an inspiron 2300 [18:15] ONce I do I'm giving it to my son. [18:16] good ol dells. [18:16] a 15" budget model with 128MB of RAM & a pentium 3 (mobile?) 1.13 ghz [18:16] and xp home [18:16] oh dear :P [18:16] I had an old featherlinux cd in it [18:16] I think it was one of the people from my neighborhood who brought their computer to me to repair it [18:16] without explaining too well what was the problem [18:16] I found a fairly old debian disk in the C600 [18:17] and I had misdiagnosed it or something. I think featherlinux failed to boot, so I thought the hardware was defective. [18:17] but it did boot into xp home, and took like an hour to stop swapping upon startup [18:17] because it had 128MB of RAM [18:17] yeah. Pitiful :P [18:17] I put 512MB and Ubuntu 10.04 in this one. [18:17] at least it has ethernet [18:17] and I think it has wi-fi [18:17] mine doesn't :( [18:18] The mini-pci is missing. [18:18] yeah [18:18] oh [18:18] the ports exist, but they lead to no where. [18:18] I have an old mini-pci wi-fi card [18:18] and no wifi. I put a PCMCIA in [18:18] JonathanD, wait, you mean there are no antennas going to the mini-pci? [18:18] mikedep333: no, it didn't have built in wifi in the first place [18:18] JonathanD, ok [18:18] the built in ethernet/modem were attached to a mini-pci [18:19] gotcha [18:19] the leads from the ethernet/modem ports are in the mini-pci bay [18:19] I will set it up as a guest computer at my dad's house [18:19] but no card [18:19] I think I have 2 128MB sticks of pc100 [18:19] although it may have pc133 in it now [18:19] I have a pile of something here. [18:19] I have another stick without its specs on it that may be better [18:19] probably 64s though [18:19] yeah [18:20] I'll look up the #s on the labels, or on the chips [18:20] yup, these are 64s [18:20] I had 2 256s that went into the inspiron, best i had on hand. [18:20] hopefully this laptop has 2 dimm slots [18:20] let me google inspiron 2300 [18:21] hmm [18:21] I think I remember the model # wrong [18:21] ahh, yes [18:21] 2600 [18:21] an atari! [18:21] lol [18:22] dell made atari! [18:22] I had an atari I used to play [18:22] it belonged to my uncle I think [18:22] I was using it at the same time I played my NES [18:22] I think it was a 2600 [18:22] Theres one at impact thrift. [18:22] If you want it :p [18:23] and an NES too, actually. [18:23] yeah, it uses pc 133 [18:23] never been to impact thrift [18:23] I was there looking for power cords. [18:23] :) [18:23] never been to impact thrift? [18:24] JonathanD, standard PC power cords? [18:24] the 3 prongs [18:24] I don't know their technical name [18:24] I have a lot of them [18:24] mikedep333: no. the 12V router kind [18:24] right [18:24] I always call them AC adapters [18:24] I have hundreds of standard PC cords. [18:24] or power warts [18:24] lol [18:24] because the cable portion of one of those is like $.15 [18:25] but the actual ac adapter/wart portion is like $3 [18:25] it's a C13, btw. [18:25] teh PC cord. [18:25] cool [18:25] I met one old PC [18:25] or very, very rarely a C14, on some oddball servers. [18:25] it had like an inverted C13 on one end [18:25] oh yes. [18:25] for the monitor [18:25] the power supply on the desktop passed power onto the monitor [18:25] lol, yeah! [18:25] That used to be quite common. [18:25] reminds me of that one ancient computer [18:26] that had the PSU in the printer [18:26] so if the printer broke or got lost, you couldn't use the computer! [18:26] clearly they should have made everything powered by teh keyboard, instead. [18:27] lol [18:27] what's it called [18:27] amiga! [18:27] oh, wait [18:27] not amiga [18:29] sigh, I hate seeing everything conform to the x86 PC standard [18:29] that's why I love ARM computing [18:30] I should get some work done. [18:31] I just opened the inspiron 2600 [18:31] I think the 2nd DIMm is under the keyboard [18:31] :( [18:31] ttyl [19:43] bts3685|1ps: hey [20:20] can anyone use all these 1GB DDR2 laptop modules that seem to be around here? [20:21] I found 4 so far today. [20:46] o/ [20:50] JonathanD: "found"? Are they growing on trees? [20:50] yes. [20:50] sweet [20:50] I need a RAM tree as well. [20:50] ChinnoDog: they're in the bins here. [20:51] The bins I'm supposed to be emptying of stuff we don't need. [20:51] Like 12VDC power supplies and PC power cords. [20:51] and 1GB DDR2s [20:51] I could use a couple if they are available. My dad is still running Vista on 1GB. It is sad. [20:52] this is laptop ram, if you missed that. [20:52] if thats ok I have em. [20:52] Yes, he is running Vista with 1gb on a laptop. Even worse. [20:52] how many slots? [20:53] Two. I donated 512mb to him. The laptop came with 512. [20:54] Alright [20:54] I'll hold on to 2 for ya [20:54] yay [20:54] I just found a 5th one [20:54] and a 512 [20:54] Ubuntu Hour RAM swap? [20:54] I have some old PC100. haha [20:55] what a deal :p [20:55] ooh, a microdrive [20:55] wonder if it works :/ [20:56] anyone got a CF adater? :) [20:56] couple [20:57] cf to ide [20:57] I used to have a CF to PCMCIA [20:57] iirc I used this microdrive in my jornada [20:57] back in the day. [20:57] not much use to it these days, with multiGB SD cards out there. [20:57] that too [21:03] I a ton of old ram [21:04] Oh no! [21:04] accidentally? [21:28] jedijf: WOOHOOO. my phone randomly started working with usb : [21:28] (: [21:29] wait jk :/ [21:29] wait... [21:29] yes! :D [21:30] wiat [21:31] sigh nevermind [21:32] ? [21:35] MutantTurkey: wait [21:36] i am starting to susect that phone is not the problem [21:36] suspect [21:38] jedijf: are you sure? [21:38] i feel like it is. [21:38] because the usb port is now only working sometimes [21:40] MutantTurkey: now that you are on your more regular schedule, we have to try at franconis sometime [21:41] when my schedule gets more regular [21:41] jedijf: yeah my new schedule is indeed fabulous [21:44] so whenever your free shoot me a message [21:44] yeah, just would like to test on known to work system [21:45] to rule out phone being bad [21:46] bad to the phone [21:46] da da da da *da* [21:47] right [21:47] would AT&T replace my phone for free since i just got it recently? [21:48] can't see why not, did you get it locally [21:48] i think right at the AT&T store by willow grove mall [21:48] near the olive garden [21:48] next to olive garden [21:48] k [21:48] you got it [21:48] yeah, they were sold out when i got there, had to go to inside mall store and wait [21:48] 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 [21:49] that just sucks [21:49] they shouldn't [21:49] don't you think they would? [21:50] when i was younger....that would infuriate me....depends on how you carry/present yourself [21:50] I look like a hipster i guess, I carry myself by foot. that about sums it up. [21:51] nothing ventured...nothing gained...just go in knowing that you can resolve the situation...much of it is confidence and acting like an adult [21:52] indeed [21:52] 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? [21:53] you may have to be the 'authorized' person,or added to the list of 'authorized' people [21:53] yeah i was thinking about that. [21:53] last 4 social of account holder is usually required ...maybe dob [21:54] I'll just bring one of my parents along [21:55] or that [21:55] :) [21:58] Newegg Mobile in Android market? That is a dangerous app for me to have on my phone. [22:00] I'm very good at not buying things. [22:00] haha [22:04] I end up debating buying most products for so long, by the time I make my decision the product is discontinued. [22:30] That is a comittment problem. haha. [22:31] * ChinnoDog hopes his 32gb microsd from newegg arrives soon [22:31] I just tried to place my order for an Apple II. [22:31] The phone number from the catalog didn't even work anymore! [22:40] JonathanD: Remember, I have an Apple II sitting by my desk at work, it will soon be tossed. [22:56] poor apple II [22:57] I used to use Logo Writer on that. [22:57] I have a PC version somewhere. Unfortunately it is on a 5.25" floppy.
