canthus13Teh interwebz. :)00:03
canthus13A bit of reverse engineering to shoehorn Android into them, I'd imagine.00:04
Cheri703androidforums.com is a good place to look00:19

Unit193Cheri703: Did you see http://www.xkcd.com/322/ ||| http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_17/109-OMG-Girlz-Dont-Exist-on-teh-Intarweb-101:54
Cheri703yep :)01:55
Unit193I thought so... Being a factoid and all...01:55
dmcglone1Hello02:06
Unit193dmcglone1: Howdy hoho!02:07
dmcglone1what ya up to?02:07
dmcglone1I'm just killing a little time waiting for the water to heat up to take a shower :-/02:08
Unit193You.... take a shower?02:08
dmcglone1No I lick myself clean02:09
canthus13Wow. flexible.02:09
dmcglone1lol canthus1302:09
dmcglone1Now ya'll know how my back got to messed up ;-)02:10
Unit193I only have to take a shower about once a month...02:10
dmcglone1wow02:11
dmcglone1do you even move out of your seat Unit193?02:11
dmcglone1LOL02:11
Unit193Why would you have to?02:12
Unit193Just kinda wipe02:12
dmcglone1sponge bathe huh?02:13
dmcglone1I love taking a shower, I've got a shower head with 16 different settings02:14
dmcglone1If I had one of those instant water heaters, I'd be in the shower for hours02:14
dmcglone1never run out of hot water02:14
canthus13Your gas bill would suck, though.02:15
dmcglone1true02:15
dmcglone1it's the price we pay for luxury :-/02:16
dmcglone1all right, I'll be back in a bit02:18
scooter2I think people shower much more frequently then is really healthy.02:21
canthus13Eh? if I don't shower daily, my hair is absolutely disgusting.02:22
scooter2I have very dry skin, so I'm pretty sure if I showered daily, I'd also shed my skin.02:22
scooter2Like a snake.02:22
scooter2I think shampoo is what makes peoples hair gross, too. Stripping out the natural oils everyday makes your hair overproduce oil.02:25
scooter2Just my $.02. Some people do need to shower everyday, I'm sure.02:28
canthus13Meh. I *STINK* after missing a day, too. :/02:36
paultagfail02:36

Cheri703did everyone vote? (also what is happening with that?)02:37
paultagstage, actually :)02:37
Cheri703:)02:37
paultagCheri703: I think I can push an image using uboot as well as dump one02:38
paultagCheri703: so if I can mod the image after I mount it I should be able to root it02:38
* canthus13 voted.02:38
Cheri703nice02:39
paultagall I have to do is enable adb :)02:39
TheErkYou think you could root my glucometer?02:39
Cheri703weird side effect of infrared screen....RANDOM things will register as a touch...leaning against stomach, glasses ear piece earlier, anything warm02:39
paultagTheErk: sure, I bet I could :)02:39
paultagCheri703: humm. interesting02:40
paultag1.3 GB! Woot! :)02:40
Cheri703for the record, glasses were not on my head at the time02:41
jgouldI need to figure out how to root my phone...02:41
paultagCheri703: balls, that sucks.02:41
paultagjgould: it's not hard at all these days02:42
paultagI can't wait to document the NookSTR02:42
paultagNookster02:42
paultagYes, that's what I'm calling it02:42
Cheri703it was just weird, it's ok though. handier than capacitive screens, will be able to use it with gloves (as long as you warm up your fingertip)02:42
Cheri703hehe02:42
paultagCheri703: truth02:42
Cheri703reminds me of jeffster on chuck02:42
paultagnever seen :)02:43
Cheri703ah, you're missing out02:43
paultagI can only get addicted once I become a productive member of society02:44
dmcglone1Ok Shower was a success, next item on my agenda cereal :-)02:44
canthus13paultag: I'd like my wife's coffee maker rooted.  New firmware should take care of the crash issues...02:44
paultag1.4GB!02:44
paultagcanthus13: :D02:44
paultagcanthus13: oh you did not actually02:44
paultagffs, lame02:44
dmcglone1I'd like to root my wifes attitude! :-D02:45
paultagcanthus13: yeah, just break it out and use a ROM dumper to see the code and fix 'er up02:45
canthus13Heh.02:45
paultagI'd like to root my girlfriend02:45
paultagAh, I'm just kidding. I don't have a girlfriend. I'm rooting a nook.02:45
dmcglone1paultag: wouldn't it be better to mount her instead? LOL02:45
Cheri703depending on the content you put on it, it may be a substitute02:45
paultagCheri703: true story02:46
TheErk... with that.. i think i'm off to bed02:46
jgouldHeh02:46
Cheri703heh, night TheErk02:46
canthus13Depending on the continent you're on, rooting might not have anything to do with computers...02:46
dmcglone1Night TheErk02:46
paultagcanthus13: that's how I meant it :)02:46
* dmcglone1 smells the cereal calling02:46
dmcglone1canthus13: was it you that was telling me about doing something to your computers to track them in the event they were stolen?02:58
canthus13Prey.02:59
canthus13http://preyproject.com/02:59
dmcglone1I was reading on the news this morning about a guy that did this and his computer was stolen and he was able to see the thief on the webcam03:01
canthus13Yep. Prey has that feature.03:02
canthus13A guy I work with did that with his ex-girlfriend's laptop... got a nice mugshot of the idiot, along with the wireless APs around it and relative signal strengths...03:03
dmcglone1It just cracked me up how the guy watched his thief sleep his couch and a bunch of other stuff, but the cops didn't do anything about it till after the news company called them03:03
dmcglone1I think the story was on "wired"03:04
dmcglone1I posted on story this morning about sony getting hacked yet again03:05
dmcglone1one03:05
dmcglone1dang my typing is pathetic tonight03:05

Cheri703http://consumerist.com/2011/06/nintendos-us-servers-hacked-says-no-user-info-was-compromised.html03:25

Cheri703yeah, just saying though03:30
Cheri703it's becoming sport I think03:30
Cheri703at least sony is03:30
skrappjawwhats up homies?03:40

skrappjaw???04:14
Cheri703did you create a gpg key first?04:15
skrappjaw-_-;;04:15
skrappjawhow?>04:15
Cheri703did you see those directions? the link in the email?04:16
Cheri703I can get the link again, if you'd like04:16
skrappjawplease04:17
skrappjawi have an e-mail04:17
skrappjawno link in there tho04:17
Cheri703k, hang on04:17
skrappjawI must have dumped it on accedent04:18
skrappjawor it didnt get filtered properly04:18
Cheri703http://www.madboa.com/geek/gpg-quickstart/04:18
Cheri703though when you get to the "send to key server" the directions on there are wrong and I can help04:18
Cheri703so do step 1, step 2 isn't necessary for this project, and step 3 is somewhat wrong :) but easily fixed04:19
skrappjawwhat type of key do i want?04:20
skrappjawDSA? RSA?04:20
Cheri703uhm, just do defaults04:21
skrappjawRSA & RSA is default. go with that.04:21
skrappjawok04:21
skrappjawim not sure what it is doing...04:23
skrappjawgpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session04:24
skrappjawWe need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform04:24
skrappjawsome other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the04:24
skrappjawdisks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number04:24
skrappjawgenerator a better chance to gain enough entropy.04:24
skrappjawnvm...04:24
skrappjawit finished.04:24
Cheri703ok04:26
Cheri703so now, for step 3, do this: gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys 'Your Name'04:26
skrappjawit's sending04:31
skrappjawkeyserver failed04:32
skrappjawtimeed out04:33

Cheri703congrats :)05:00
Cheri703do you actually have root or just booted an alternate image?05:01
Cheri703paultag: ^05:01
paultagCheri703: I have another image, but it has root enabled over adb, I can't test until I get wifi working which is broken05:02
paultagCheri703: just a moment05:02
paultagYES AND BEFORE THE EOD05:03
Cheri703?05:03
paultagI got it rooted before 12:00 :)05:04

paultagskellat: yar05:21
paultagI changed the bootup to say "You turn me on" with my peace, love and C++ logo05:22
skellatpaultag: Are they posted to tumblr yet?05:22
paultagskellat: not yet05:22

paultagskellat: I'm going to take hires after I'm happy with it05:22
skellatpaultag: Good enough05:23
Cheri703I plan to root mine as soon as it is a. easy, and b. reliable :)05:23
paultagCheri703: it's neither right now :)05:24
Cheri703exactly05:25
skellatThis does beg the question of whether or not there are any good Ubuntu-based tablets out there right now05:26
canthus13no.05:27
Cheri703I dunno about good, but there are some out there05:27
skellatWhich vendors are making such?05:27
skrappjawi want a fancy boot creen05:33
skrappjawscreen*05:33
* skrappjaw is late05:35
* skellat nods05:35
skrappjawhow does one change the boot creen in ubuntu?05:36
canthus13Good luck with that. :/05:36
Cheri703not that you want this one, but I have it on mine, and the directions are probably the same (as well as having other options)http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Women+plymouth+themes+?content=14107605:37
skellatWhich version?  Messing with plymouth is likely necessary.05:37
canthus13Ah. someone finally worked out a kludge to change the boot screen.05:37
Cheri703I like it :)05:38
Cheri703back to reading...05:39
skrappjaw10.1005:42
Cheri703skrappjaw: check that link I posted05:44

dmcglonepaultag: what are you going to do with it now that you've rooted it?13:53
paultagdmcglone: make it into a code review platform13:53
dmcglonewhat do you mean? just something to review all your code?13:54
paultagdmcglone: yeah13:54
dmcglonecool13:54
dmcgloneare there other things that could be done with them?13:55
paultagdmcglone: sure. it's a full android platform13:56
paultagdmcglone: I was just running the facebook app and then the web browser13:56
dmcgloneI'm not very good at hacking up gadgets, I'm usually afraid to try because after spending all that money, I'm afraid to break em13:56
paultagdmcglone: these are unbrickable13:56
dmcglonenice13:57
dmcgloneI've been wanting to try and get into my cell and see if I can get it running on my own network, but I'm too afraid13:58
paultagdmcglone: bah13:59
dmcgloneit's the only phone I got and if I screw it up and turn it into a paperweight, I'm screwed13:59

thafreakMorning Ohio14:29
dmcgloneMorning thafreak14:30
thafreakbrb14:33
thafreakOk... back14:36
thafreakwhat's happening these days?14:36
dmcglonesame ol, same ol14:37
dmcglonereading the news right now, not much to mention14:37
thafreakwhere do you read your news? rss feeds, or a particular site?14:38
dmcgloneUsually CNN14:39
thafreakyou see the password analysis for the sony accounts that were leaked?14:40
thafreak99% didn't contain a single non alphanumeric character...14:40
dmcgloneYeah, I posted that one yesterday morning14:40
thafreakadmitidly...most of mine don't either...atleast the ones I tend to memorize14:41
dmcgloneMine have a bunch14:41
thafreakthere are some passwords that I just can't use a password manager for, and therefore have to memorize...so they tend not to be as secure14:41
dmcgloneI use a lot of numbers but they all mean something so they are easy for me to remember14:42
thafreaki try to make my newer ones 10+ characters though...more if the site lets me14:42
thafreakpisses me off when a site doesn't let you use like more than 8 characters...14:43
dmcgloneyeah14:43
thafreakalso when they don't let you use symbols...14:43
dmcgloneI agree14:43
thafreakSo what's been the talk in here recently? I have been absent nights/weekends...14:44
dmcglonelast night, paultag rooted his nook, that was a little bit of the topic recently, and the usual goofin off14:45
thafreakwhich nook...the old one or one of the new nook2's?14:46
dmcgloneNot sure. he's dubbed it the "nookie"14:47
thafreaknice14:48
thafreakhttp://stopabusingsiprefixes.org/stopabusing.html14:57
paultagthe new one :)15:08
paultagthafreak: under 12 hours to root15:08
thafreakso it's the new one then?15:08
paultagIt's the second one rooted in the world >:D15:08
paultagthafreak: yeah, STR15:08
paultagfirst was a guy I was doing it with15:09
paultagbut we both started with 0 nooks rooted in the wild15:09
thafreaknice15:09
thafreakhow involved was it?15:10
paultagthafreak: involved15:14
paultagthafreak: I had to headless fastboot it, dump the internal eMMC, extract it, extract the Ramdisk, then tweek the boot controller and prop15:15
paultagthafreak: then rebuild the Ramdisk, put it back in and re-flash the internal eMMC15:16
thafreakhttp://webian.org/blog/15:17
thafreakinteresting paultag15:17
thafreakso what does rooting the nook net you? is it more locked down than a standard android 2.1?15:17
thafreakHey....anyone know if mozilla chromeless is much different than what like webkit gives you?15:18
paultagthafreak: yeah it's locked tight15:20
paultagthafreak: but I have new apps installed and stuff15:20
thafreakso it's like locked down to prevent installing apps and such?15:21
dmcglone"If you’re anything like me then you’ll find that most of the stuff you  do on your PC these days happens in a web browser and the desktop  environment you used to depend on is now just getting in your way."15:21
dmcgloneThis is what bothers me these days, and I predict everything will soon be on a cloud and computers will store nothing.15:21
paultagdmcglone: yar15:21
paultagthafreak: yeah15:21
thafreakdmcglone: that's the hope of most of these new startups :)15:21
thafreakit's cool if it's *MY* cloud :)15:22
dmcglonethafreak: but then we start going into areas of privacy etc.15:22
paultagprivacy is for sissys15:22
paultagor so they say15:22
dmcgloneI'm not gonna store my check book files on the cloud15:23
dmcgloneMore and more everyday we are losing control15:23
dmcgloneWe have been fighting wars to end a lot of things, including totalitarianism but, at the same time we are turning into one of those countries. LOL15:32
paultagthafreak: btw, two photos -- http://blog.pault.ag/post/6247533803/i-did-it-for-the-nookie15:46
thafreakyeah, but if it's *YOUR* cloud...then there's no loss of privacy15:49
