[00:20] hello [00:20] hey [00:21] how's it going? [00:23] pretty decently [00:23] brb though [03:58] Well... The NIC on my server died. :( [03:59] Fortunately I had a spare. [04:00] :( and :) [04:03] Heh. [04:04] so I fixed that zune and now I'm converting video from vhs to digital [04:06] Eek. [04:06] * canthus13 has an Osprey 210 card that he's gonna use to convert Hi8 to digital. [04:06] Dunno about ripping VHS.... [04:07] I'm using my old tv tuner card to do hi8 to digital (vhs will actually be in a week or so) [04:07] 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] dang, very nice [04:08] Low-end professional stuff. [04:08] mine is a crapper that a friend gave me a few years back [04:08] Heh. [04:08] canthus13: if you have the rca -> whatever cords you need, you can just hook a vcr to it for vhs [04:08] that's what I'm going to do [04:08] it'll be quick and dirty [04:08] and inexpensive [04:09] * canthus13 got the breakout cable for his card, so he has the various inputs... including S-video. :) [04:09] nice [04:10] *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] Heh. so would i. [04:11] * canthus13 just found a Radeon 9250 that he has NO idea where it came from... [04:11] nice [04:12] I'm wondering if it'll perform better than a Geforce 5200. [04:12] Ooo. Just found a side-by-side review of the two. :) [04:13] heh [04:13] do either have an s-video out? [04:13] if so, and it works under 10.10, I'll take your cast off ;) [04:14] Yep. [04:14] both do. [04:14] * Cheri703 is canthus13 's bestest best blarghing friend ;) [04:14] :) [04:14] :D [04:14] I'm mostly kidding about you sending it to me :) [04:15] 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] and it works in 10.10? the s-video out? I have a 9200 and it COMPLETELY QUITS in 10.10 [04:15] works perfectly in 10.04 [04:15] I have no idea. [04:15] can't upgrade desktop because of it :/ [04:15] I just found it in a box. [04:16] mind trying it out? [04:16] maaaybe [04:16] not that I'd turn down a free video card really [04:16] Apparently it runs well in maverick. [04:16] ok, cool [04:17] Just doesn't seem to like unity. [04:17] * Cheri703 would be happy to take it off your hands :) [04:17] psh, neither do I [04:17] we'll be good friends ;) [04:17] Ok. At some point I'll get it to you along with the copies of SBS 2003 that I found. [04:17] (And 5 CALs!) [04:17] heh [04:18] this video camera that I'm having to use is crap, it keeps cutting out -_- [04:18] :( [04:18] 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] I'm going to see how much a hi8 -> vhs adapter might cost [04:18] * Cheri703 doesn't have $80 [04:18] Not sure if there IS a hi8-vhs adapter... I think hi8 is incompatible with vhs. [04:19] ah, there isn't :( [04:19] this is freaking annoying [04:23] $50 or so would buy one [04:24] which is about what I'll make on the project -_- [04:24] might ask her to ask her family members if anyone else has a camera [04:41] the battery I took out of the zune was puffy === BiosElement_ is now known as BiosElement [05:56] Dude from Haven is in No Ordinary Family.... [05:56] heh, yeah [06:07] http://charlieswinning.com/ [07:17] I'm kind of tired, kind of not, but should sleep, but don't want to >.< [15:31] So what do you think that means for Haben? === locobot_1_2 is now known as locobot_1 === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD === BiosElement_ is now known as BiosElement [19:11] Freenode is really breaking up.... === BiosElement_ is now known as BiosElement [19:30] hello ohio [19:30] anyone want to chime in on 2tb hard drive recomendations? [19:31] Was about to pull the trigger on the WD greens...but there is just too much talk of failure and DOA [19:31] One that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! [19:37] thafreak: WD has a really nice replacement policy, though... [19:39] yeah, like anyone really ever wants to replace an HD [19:39] 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] djoe: I did it with a DOA a couple of weeks ago. Cross-shipped it, even. [19:41] Newegg's policy sucks. [19:41] clearly one's mileage may vary [19:41] woulda cost me almost 15 bucks to ship the drive back using their UPS 'discount'. WD's was 6 bucks. [19:42] Newegg also doesn't have a crosshipment option. [19:42] I have a 1TB Seagate that started its death throes a week and a half ago or so [19:43] no way that's going anywhere but a shredder [19:43] 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] I suppose I might take it apart for all the shiny stuff inside [19:44] and then trash the platters myself [19:57] anyone hear anything bad about samsung spinpoint f4's? [19:58] 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] 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] but don't want to waste my time if they are teh suck or something [19:59] all $HARDWARE sucks [19:59] true, very true....especially hard drives [19:59] which is a companion law to "all $SOFTWARE sucks" [20:00] 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] my wife hates it when I work on hardware... [20:01] heh [20:01] I had a laptop and a desktop at home both go bad last month [20:01] there was much hardware-replacement grumbling and cursing and grumping around to be had [20:04] i bet [20:08] 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] well...looks like I'm gonna try out the samsungs afterall...wish me luck [21:28] Good luck and happy upgrading [21:28] Is this an extra or do you plan to clone one over? [23:17] Vetinari: where the christ is lukjad? [23:19] Oh wrong room [23:20] anywho [23:20] hey Ohio :) [23:20] hi [23:20] Cheri703: s'new? [23:20] not a ton, I'm killing an hour waiting for a meeting to start.... [23:20] Cheri703: mmm :/ [23:20] have to either walk home or bum a ride...should be interesting [23:20] Cheri703: :( [23:20] yeah, the joys of being car-free on a rainy day when you want to participate in things after bus hours [23:21] :( [23:21] 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] 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] so this is the first time I've been able to come, even though I'd been saying I was going to :/
