[01:55] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[01:56] <chris4585> hey robertzaccour
[01:56] <robertzaccour> Just got done with a 13.5 hour shift and got a 16.5 one tomorrow afternoon
[01:57] <chris4585> ouch, doesn't sound fun
[01:57] <chris4585> where do you work?
[01:58] <robertzaccour> Pacesetters
[01:58] <robertzaccour> I love my job though
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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?
[02:02] <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?
[02:03] <robertzaccour> business to business?
[02:03] <cyberanger> Bussiness 2 Bussiness, outsourced IT
[02:03] <cyberanger> yeah
[02:03] <robertzaccour> oh ok
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:07] <robertzaccour> i meant as far as computer sells you offer more OS options than the other places most likely
[02:08] <chris4585> robertzaccour, I don't know how but I have about 6 phone cords and probably equally that pc cards
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <cyberanger> ever had a power failuer
[02:11] <cyberanger> or a job that required a dependable means of being reached
[02:11] <robertzaccour> occasionally
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <cyberanger> I'm ARES & RC, I gotta be activated if needed
[02:23] <robertzaccour> I haven't had a landline at home in a long time
[02:24] <robertzaccour> If I did it would have to be a package deal where I spend less having a landline than not having it
[02:26] <cyberanger> yeah, I wish Tennessee had a Do Not Disconnect policy
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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
[02:29] <cyberanger> landlines is connected, it has a local circut
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <robertzaccour> well mostly underground
[02:31] <robertzaccour> a basement style apartment
[02:32] <cyberanger> in an emergency?!?
[02:32] <cyberanger> not one house on fire, but citywide
[02:33] <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)
[02:34] <robertzaccour> oh right
[02:36] <cyberanger> 9/11, katrina, 2003 blackout, minnesota bridge collapse
[02:37] <cyberanger> all events that overwealmed celluar networks, causing ARES to be activated
[02:37] <cyberanger> along with the Red Cross
[02:40] <cyberanger> that's my concern, a prolonged blackout, or any other event causing issues to the celluar network
[02:41] <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
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <cyberanger> same
[03:00] <cyberanger> hence my percautions
[03:02] <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
[03:04] <cyberanger> besides the spyware infected xp install
[03:05] <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...
[03:07] <cyberanger> I don't trust them, even if I have to pay more, just safer for a more trusted company
[03:08] <robertzaccour> yeah true
[03:09] <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
[03:11] <robertzaccour> i'm goin to sleep
[03:11] <robertzaccour> later dude
[03:12] <Juzzy> night
[03:12] <Juzzy> anyone tried 11.04 yet?
[03:15] <cyberanger> see ya robertzaccour
