[00:20] <lostConnection> hello
[00:20] <Cheri703> hey
[00:21] <lostConnection> how's it going?
[00:23] <Cheri703> pretty decently
[00:23] <Cheri703> brb though
[03:58] <canthus13> Well... The NIC on my server died. :(
[03:59] <canthus13> Fortunately I had a spare.
[04:00] <Cheri703> :( and :)
[04:03] <canthus13> Heh.
[04:04] <Cheri703> so I fixed that zune and now I'm converting video from vhs to digital
[04:06] <canthus13> Eek.
[04:06]  * canthus13 has an Osprey 210 card that he's gonna use to convert Hi8 to digital.
[04:06] <canthus13> Dunno about ripping VHS....
[04:07] <Cheri703> I'm using my old tv tuner card to do hi8 to digital (vhs will actually be in a week or so)
[04:07] <canthus13> The Osprey is a really nice card... I got it in a machine I paid 125 bucks for on ebay... The card by itself runs around $200.
[04:08] <Cheri703> dang, very nice
[04:08] <canthus13> Low-end professional stuff.
[04:08] <Cheri703> mine is a crapper that a friend gave me a few years back
[04:08] <canthus13> Heh.
[04:08] <Cheri703> canthus13: if you have the rca -> whatever cords you need, you can just hook a vcr to it for vhs
[04:08] <Cheri703> that's what I'm going to do
[04:08] <Cheri703> it'll be quick and dirty
[04:08] <Cheri703> and inexpensive
[04:09]  * canthus13 got the breakout cable for his card, so he has the various inputs... including S-video. :)
[04:09] <Cheri703> nice
[04:10] <Cheri703> *sigh* I'd love to have a SUPER AWESOME MEGA computer that had all of the goodies and bells and whistles...but...NOT HAPPENING for a LOOOOOONG time
[04:11] <canthus13> Heh. so would i.
[04:11]  * canthus13 just found a Radeon 9250 that he has NO idea where it came from...
[04:11] <Cheri703> nice
[04:12] <canthus13> I'm wondering if it'll perform better than a Geforce 5200.
[04:12] <canthus13> Ooo. Just found a side-by-side review of the two. :)
[04:13] <Cheri703> heh
[04:13] <Cheri703> do either have an s-video out?
[04:13] <Cheri703> if so, and it works under 10.10, I'll take your cast off ;)
[04:14] <canthus13> Yep.
[04:14] <canthus13> both do.
[04:14]  * Cheri703 is canthus13 's bestest best blarghing friend ;)
[04:14] <canthus13> :)
[04:14] <Cheri703> :D
[04:14] <Cheri703> I'm mostly kidding about you sending it to me :)
[04:15] <canthus13> You can have the radeon. I've got an ingrained aversion to ATi. Apparently it's unfounded now, but I've avoided them for years.
[04:15] <Cheri703> and it works in 10.10? the s-video out? I have a 9200 and it COMPLETELY QUITS in 10.10
[04:15] <Cheri703> works perfectly in 10.04
[04:15] <canthus13> I have no idea.
[04:15] <Cheri703> can't upgrade desktop because of it :/
[04:15] <canthus13> I just found it in a box.
[04:16] <Cheri703> mind trying it out?
[04:16] <Cheri703> maaaybe
[04:16] <Cheri703> not that I'd turn down a free video card really
[04:16] <canthus13> Apparently it runs well in maverick.
[04:16] <Cheri703> ok, cool
[04:17] <canthus13> Just doesn't seem to like unity.
[04:17]  * Cheri703 would be happy to take it off your hands :)
[04:17] <Cheri703> psh, neither do I
[04:17] <Cheri703> we'll be good friends ;)
[04:17] <canthus13> Ok.  At some point I'll get it to you along with the copies of SBS 2003 that I found.
[04:17] <canthus13> (And 5 CALs!)
[04:17] <Cheri703> heh
[04:18] <Cheri703> this video camera that I'm having to use is crap, it keeps cutting out -_-
[04:18] <canthus13> :(
[04:18] <Cheri703> I got an hour into this one and it freaked out
[04:18]  * canthus13 picked up a decent sony handycam for 80 bucks.
[04:18] <Cheri703> I'm going to see how much a hi8 -> vhs adapter might cost
[04:18]  * Cheri703 doesn't have $80
[04:18] <canthus13> Not sure if there IS a hi8-vhs adapter... I think hi8 is incompatible with vhs.
[04:19] <Cheri703> ah, there isn't :(
[04:19] <Cheri703> this is freaking annoying
[04:23] <Cheri703> $50 or so would buy one
[04:24] <Cheri703> which is about what I'll make on the project -_-
[04:24] <Cheri703> might ask her to ask her family members if anyone else has a camera
[04:41] <Cheri703> the battery I took out of the zune was puffy
[05:56] <Unit193> Dude from Haven is in No Ordinary Family....
[05:56] <Cheri703> heh, yeah
[06:07] <canthus13> http://charlieswinning.com/
[07:17] <Cheri703> I'm kind of tired, kind of not, but should sleep, but don't want to >.<
[15:31] <thafreak> So what do you think that means for Haben?
[19:11] <Unit193> Freenode is really breaking up....
[19:30] <thafreak> hello ohio
[19:30] <thafreak> anyone want to chime in on 2tb hard drive recomendations?
[19:31] <thafreak> Was about to pull the trigger on the WD greens...but there is just too much talk of failure and DOA
[19:31] <Unit193> One that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
[19:37] <canthus13> thafreak: WD has a really nice replacement policy, though...
[19:39] <djoe> yeah, like anyone really ever wants to replace an HD
[19:39] <djoe> I guess if you have absolutely no data on it that you care about, ever, sending it off doesn't raise any concerns
[19:41] <canthus13> djoe: I did it with a DOA a couple of weeks ago.  Cross-shipped it, even.
[19:41] <canthus13> Newegg's policy sucks.
[19:41] <djoe> clearly one's mileage may vary
[19:41] <canthus13> woulda cost me almost 15 bucks to ship the drive back using their UPS 'discount'.  WD's was 6 bucks.
[19:42] <canthus13> Newegg also doesn't have a crosshipment option.
[19:42] <djoe> I have a 1TB Seagate that started its death throes a week and a half ago or so
[19:43] <djoe> no way that's going anywhere but a shredder
[19:43] <djoe> because a) if the drive is flaky, how certain can one be that it is being wiped sufficiently and b) it's not my data on there
[19:44] <djoe> I suppose I might take it apart for all the shiny stuff inside
[19:44] <djoe> and then trash the platters myself
[19:57] <thafreak> anyone hear anything bad about samsung spinpoint f4's?
[19:58] <thafreak> The reviews all seem to say they're faster than the WD greens, and the % of DOA complaints on newegg seems much lower...
[19:58] <thafreak> plus microcenter up in cleveland has them for the same price as newegg...so I could drive and get them IRL today...I <3 not waiting
[19:59] <thafreak> but don't want to waste my time if they are teh suck or something
[19:59] <djoe> all $HARDWARE sucks
[19:59] <thafreak> true, very true....especially hard drives
[19:59] <djoe> which is a companion law to "all $SOFTWARE sucks"
[20:00] <thafreak> it's just such a hassle to replace them...I want to try to lessen the chances of me screaming profanitiy in my basement
[20:00] <thafreak> my wife hates it when I work on hardware...
[20:01] <djoe> heh
[20:01] <djoe> I had a laptop and a desktop at home both go bad last month
[20:01] <djoe> there was much hardware-replacement grumbling and cursing and grumping around to be had
[20:04] <thafreak> i bet
[20:08] <thafreak> only stuff I can dig up on google for the samsung f4 are reports of buggy firmware, which there is already a patch/update for
[21:20] <thafreak> well...looks like I'm gonna try out the samsungs afterall...wish me luck
[21:28] <Unit193> Good luck and happy upgrading
[21:28] <Unit193> Is this an extra or do you plan to clone one over?
[23:17] <paultag> Vetinari: where the christ is lukjad?
[23:19] <paultag> Oh wrong room
[23:20] <paultag> anywho
[23:20] <paultag> hey Ohio :)
[23:20] <Cheri703> hi
[23:20] <paultag> Cheri703: s'new?
[23:20] <Cheri703> not a ton, I'm killing an hour waiting for a meeting to start....
[23:20] <paultag> Cheri703: mmm :/
[23:20] <Cheri703> have to either walk home or bum a ride...should be interesting
[23:20] <paultag> Cheri703: :(
[23:20] <Cheri703> yeah, the joys of being car-free on a rainy day when you want to participate in things after bus hours
[23:21] <paultag> :(
[23:21] <Cheri703> I think I should be able to get a ride home. this is my first time here, but I've talked to a few of the people in the past
[23:22] <Cheri703> I wanted to go january and february, but january it was the night we found out my dog had a mass in his stomach, and february it was the day I had to drive up to my parents' house to have him put to sleep -_-
[23:22] <Cheri703> so this is the first time I've been able to come, even though I'd been saying I was going to :/
