| robertzaccour | hey yall | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| chris4585 | hey robertzaccour | 01:56 |
| robertzaccour | Just got done with a 13.5 hour shift and got a 16.5 one tomorrow afternoon | 01:56 |
| chris4585 | ouch, doesn't sound fun | 01:57 |
| chris4585 | where do you work? | 01:57 |
| robertzaccour | Pacesetters | 01:58 |
| robertzaccour | I love my job though | 01:58 |
| robertzaccour | the 16.5 shift tomorrow is actually for 2 days | 01:59 |
| robertzaccour | 3:30-midnight and then midnight-8 | 01:59 |
| chris4585 | I have no idea what that is lol | 01:59 |
| robertzaccour | I assist people that are intellectually disabled | 01:59 |
| chris4585 | ah | 01:59 |
| robertzaccour | the hardest part about the overnight shifts is being sleepy | 02:00 |
| cyberanger | robertzaccour: not too hard on the overnights here | 02:00 |
| robertzaccour | cyberanger, in irc you mean? | 02:00 |
| cyberanger | go long enough, I will be tired | 02:00 |
| cyberanger | no, my work | 02:00 |
| robertzaccour | cyberanger, where is that? | 02:01 |
| cyberanger | 3 computer shops in the Chattanooga | 02:01 |
| cyberanger | well, consistantly 3 shops, there's a few others | 02:01 |
| robertzaccour | do you sell stuff? | 02:01 |
| cyberanger | I do repair, networking, Unix and Linux | 02:02 |
| cyberanger | but some of the stores also sell stuff | 02:02 |
| robertzaccour | ah i see cool stuff | 02:02 |
| cyberanger | one is B2B focused | 02:02 |
| robertzaccour | whats B2B? | 02:02 |
| robertzaccour | business to business? | 02:03 |
| cyberanger | Bussiness 2 Bussiness, outsourced IT | 02:03 |
| cyberanger | yeah | 02:03 |
| robertzaccour | oh ok | 02:03 |
| cyberanger | Linux is unique, and on top of that, so is Dial up and Asterisk | 02:04 |
| robertzaccour | i guess you have more os options than radio shack down the street then | 02:04 |
| robertzaccour | most computers don't come with a phone jack port these days haha | 02:05 |
| cyberanger | so I'm in touch with shops that aren't used to some stuff | 02:05 |
| cyberanger | but between hughesnet and dial-up, ton of rual areas that have little else | 02:05 |
| robertzaccour | i meant as far as computer sells you offer more OS options than the other places most likely | 02:07 |
| chris4585 | robertzaccour, I don't know how but I have about 6 phone cords and probably equally that pc cards | 02:08 |
| robertzaccour | chris4585, maybe you had dial up years ago and lost cords and bought more and found the lost ones later? | 02:09 |
| chris4585 | pretty much, actually most of them are from DSL I think, we haven't had a landline phone for 4 years or so | 02:09 |
| robertzaccour | I don't have a house phone, but if I did it would be a magic jack | 02:10 |
| cyberanger | not really, I'm the reason most shops offer everything | 02:10 |
| cyberanger | just a matter of hassle | 02:10 |
| robertzaccour | don't understand why people still pay for regular landlines, unless they save money that way as a package deal | 02:10 |
| cyberanger | price and such | 02:10 |
| cyberanger | ever had a power failuer | 02:11 |
| cyberanger | or a job that required a dependable means of being reached | 02:11 |
| robertzaccour | occasionally | 02:11 |
| cyberanger | that's one reason | 02:12 |
| chris4585 | cyberanger, a few days ago they were stringing a new cord down our road, I was quite pleased | 02:12 |
| cyberanger | celluar networks get overwealmed over a simple bridge collapse, | 02:12 |
| cyberanger | and landlines don't need power | 02:12 |
| cyberanger | there gets to a point where your SOL, but that's one reason | 02:13 |
| robertzaccour | i know. in tornado season some days cell phones aren't a great means of communication | 02:13 |
| robertzaccour | also having a 911 line is a good thing | 02:13 |
| robertzaccour | better to have it and not need it than not have it and wish ya did | 02:14 |
| cyberanger | I killed my landline, but I added redundancy when I did, becuase of all this | 02:14 |
| cyberanger | I'm ARES & RC, I gotta be activated if needed | 02:15 |
| robertzaccour | I haven't had a landline at home in a long time | 02:23 |
| robertzaccour | If I did it would have to be a package deal where I spend less having a landline than not having it | 02:24 |
| cyberanger | yeah, I wish Tennessee had a Do Not Disconnect policy | 02:26 |
| robertzaccour | for what? | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | a number of things change with that | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | number one is it keeps landline 911 access open, | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | something that'd be helpful in a disaster | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | cell phones have to as well, but cell phones have only so many circuts, easy to overwealm | 02:28 |
| cyberanger | compared to a landline | 02:28 |
| robertzaccour | yeah true | 02:28 |
| cyberanger | landlines is connected, it has a local circut | 02:29 |
| cyberanger | still possible to overwealm a PSAP, but not as likely as overwealming all the long distance circuts | 02:30 |
| robertzaccour | these days its not likely to drop a call unless you live in the woods, mountains, or under ground | 02:30 |
| robertzaccour | I live underground, so I make most calls in my bedroom haha | 02:30 |
| robertzaccour | well mostly underground | 02:31 |
| robertzaccour | a basement style apartment | 02:31 |
| cyberanger | in an emergency?!? | 02:32 |
| cyberanger | not one house on fire, but citywide | 02:32 |
| cyberanger | and keep in mind, one of those three apply to alot of tennessee | 02:33 |
| cyberanger | (and I had never said dropped call, I said unavailable circut) | 02:33 |
| robertzaccour | oh right | 02:34 |
| cyberanger | 9/11, katrina, 2003 blackout, minnesota bridge collapse | 02:36 |
| cyberanger | all events that overwealmed celluar networks, causing ARES to be activated | 02:37 |
| cyberanger | along with the Red Cross | 02:37 |
| cyberanger | that's my concern, a prolonged blackout, or any other event causing issues to the celluar network | 02:40 |
| cyberanger | on top of the fact that the celluar system isn't built like the landline network | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | celluar is allways at capacaty | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | any spike in calls will fill the circuts | 02:41 |
| robertzaccour | i suppose if there's a big crisis then landline is the way to go | 02:58 |
| robertzaccour | I'm not home a lot though haha | 02:58 |
| cyberanger | same | 02:59 |
| cyberanger | hence my percautions | 03:00 |
| robertzaccour | I do live in a basement style apartment though, so I might get magic jack just for freedom to talk anywhere in the house | 03:02 |
| robertzaccour | $20/year is probably worth it | 03:02 |
| cyberanger | besides the spyware infected xp install | 03:04 |
| robertzaccour | cyberanger, it doesn't work with Linux? | 03:05 |
| robertzaccour | I thought they were gonna support Linux this year | 03:05 |
| cyberanger | nope, and it's the spyware source | 03:05 |
| cyberanger | oh, well maybe... | 03:05 |
| cyberanger | I don't trust them, even if I have to pay more, just safer for a more trusted company | 03:07 |
| robertzaccour | yeah true | 03:08 |
| robertzaccour | or like i said, If I decide to get cable and the phone saves me money instead of costs based on a package plan | 03:09 |
| robertzaccour | i'm goin to sleep | 03:11 |
| robertzaccour | later dude | 03:11 |
| Juzzy | night | 03:12 |
| Juzzy | anyone tried 11.04 yet? | 03:12 |

| cyberanger | Juzzy: sorta, my build, openbox, and serve | 03:16 |
| cyberanger | server | 03:16 |
| cyberanger | Juzzy: not the gnome or unity builds yet | 03:17 |
