| Unit193 | wrst: Still around? That is quasseldroid? | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | Unit193: still around and no internet | 00:32 |
| * wrst fumes | 00:32 | |
| Unit193 | Person I know has a "cdma hero running rooted 2.1" do you know *offhand* if quassel will run on it? | 00:34 |
| wrst | it should I think | 00:38 |
| chris4585 | so when I try to take a screenshot I get this interesting mess http://i.imgur.com/r45O9.png | 02:21 |
| chris4585 | also evoking the print screen button also makes a nice snap shot sound | 02:22 |
| chris4585 | I take that back.. it seems to work now | 02:23 |
| Unit193 | What flavor? | 02:23 |
| chris4585 | wrst, this is what I was trying to show you the other day http://i.imgur.com/kD7Yq.jpg | 02:24 |
| chris4585 | Unit193 ? | 02:24 |
| Unit193 | Ah! Oneiric w/ Gnome [4~3 | 02:27 |
| chris4585 | yes 11.10 with gnome3 | 02:27 |
| chris4585 | I'm honestly loving it | 02:27 |
| Unit193 | And the funny errors? ;) | 02:30 |
| chris4585 | there really aren't too much | 02:30 |
| chris4585 | its beyond usable | 02:31 |
| Unit193 | I'm testing the daily versions of Xubuntu for that team. They also have to undo some things Ubuntu did :/ | 02:34 |
| wrst | chris4585: cool | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | wrst: internet status? | 04:01 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: yes, it should, it's been tested on a gsm hero, the only difference is the guts it them | 04:02 |
| Unit193 | What version? | 04:40 |
| wrst | cyberanger: no internet | 11:27 |
| pricew | wrst: wanna try stringing a cable from my house to yours? :) | 12:46 |
| wrst | pricew: that woudl be great! | 12:50 |
| wrst | pricew: you have any idea what can help "motivate" an ISP to fix your service | 12:53 |
| pricew | Twin Lakes, right? | 12:59 |
| pricew | wrst: I've got a friend there. What is your phone number? | 13:08 |
| wrst | 403-2636 | 13:10 |
| wrst | pricew: they were out yesterday and said it was working, but didn't :/ | 13:10 |
| wrst | and I don't doubt he had it working either but didn't when I got home and that's just on my laptop I was going to handle the router set up etc | 13:11 |
| wrst | I explored other options but they really are still the best option they just aren't customer oriented I don't think if that makes sense they are always nice but they just don't seem too capable | 13:12 |
| pricew | He's checking with the DSL department ..... | 13:26 |
| wrst | wow thanks pricew, I really think there is somethign on the setup I wanted to keep a static IP, but I had opendns, and I asked the guy to just use their default stuff on my win 7 laptop and I woudl get the rest going later but I fear something is out of whack with all of that | 13:27 |
| wrst | I think they changed backbones and I don't think my static IP will work now but I may be wrong | 13:27 |
| pricew | That's odd. So, your Win 7 laptop was working when he left? | 13:30 |
| wrst | yes, but he turned it off and disconnected the network cable... kinda wish he had left it on :) | 13:32 |
| wrst | and that's all I was wanting to get internet working on something and I can handle the rest easy enough | 13:32 |
| wrst | I felt sorry for the guy doing the repairs because he told me he didn't know much about computers :D | 13:32 |
| wrst | I'm going to call the repair dept. again to let them know where I left the key etc when they open up | 13:33 |
| pricew | wrst: Yea, many times it is a "phone guy" that has been given the task of doing computer networking and they just don't have the background. | 13:47 |
| wrst | no and I feel sorry for them really, because its not their fault, I have to admit I have had to remind myself to be patient :) | 13:48 |
| wrst | but they are really nice guys they can't help it they just don't know | 13:48 |
| wrst | pricew: they are supposed to have someone on it | 14:06 |
| pricew | wrst: cool. | 14:07 |
| wrst | but they did on monday and tuesday also pricew :\ | 14:07 |
| pricew | My friend there is a computer guy, so maybe he can help them. | 14:10 |
| wrst | I hope so I'm starting to get a little frustrated | 14:10 |
| pricew | wrst: I know how you feel. I went throught the same thing with Charter. | 14:11 |
| wrst | yeah I'm about ready to pull the plug on them if they don't get it today | 14:11 |
| pricew | Do you have other options? | 14:12 |
| cyberanger | to some extent though, I'd think patience is up | 14:26 |
| cyberanger | unless they give you a clear(er) reason for this mishap | 14:26 |
| cyberanger | pricew: realistic options, not really (I asked the same question) | 14:27 |
| wrst | pricew: I do have a cable option but its not better than the current option | 14:27 |
| wrst | but if they can't fix it, that may be the only one :) | 14:27 |
| cyberanger | wrst: hughesnet and celluar too | 14:28 |
| cyberanger | but that to me is a last resort in your area | 14:28 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger that's worse than what I have already :) | 14:29 |
| cyberanger | well, I am not a fan of hughesnet with other choices | 14:30 |
| cyberanger | but saying it's worse than what you have, while what you have is a droid | 14:30 |
| cyberanger | kinda says something | 14:31 |
| cyberanger | (to clarify, it says celluar works for you, dsl isn't) | 14:31 |
| cyberanger | I can only think of one time where I didn't have a great backup, visiting family in Hot Springs, AR | 14:33 |
| cyberanger | last year a cable in Benton, AR was damaged (wound up being a fiber optic line covering both providers and then some) | 14:34 |
| cyberanger | I didn't have the boost phone from the trip two months earlier, hadn't had the virgin mobile data card working yet (it was stubborn to setup) | 14:35 |
| cyberanger | got the dial up modem on that trip (was planning to anyhow, just as a backup and travel tool) | 14:38 |
| cyberanger | and that was a huge repair (at least one town in tourist season, and parts of one city, at least) | 14:38 |
| cyberanger | done in under 18 hours | 14:39 |
| cyberanger | yours is 3 days, 4 days? if they haven't told you why, I'd (politely) ask | 14:39 |
| cyberanger | all I can say wrst is I'm glad the droid works | 14:40 |
| wrst | ha ha cyberanger | 14:42 |
| wrst | wroking on day 5 | 14:42 |
| cyberanger | (to me, this looks like a time to root it, grab cm7, install sshtunnel, use sshtunnel and then start tethering) | 14:45 |
| cyberanger | except, perhaps waiting for stable internet or at least time to focus wouldn't hurt | 14:46 |
| cyberanger | wrst: is yours just the original droid? | 14:47 |
| cyberanger | (my G2 is a pain to root, compared to most, but to me still easy, just time to get it right) | 14:47 |
| cyberanger | bbia(very short)b, gotta punch in | 14:48 |
| wrst | ok pricew looks like they had me setup at their office on dhcp and a static IP at my house, which is what I suspected | 14:57 |
| pricew | wrst: So, you think they got it up? | 14:58 |
| wrst | no the guy is going to the house i think they will have to change the modem or something out | 15:01 |
| wrst | i wanted to keep a static IP but just told them to forget it :0 | 15:01 |
| wrst | meant :) | 15:01 |
| pricew | You would think they could change everything from the office. | 15:04 |
| wrst | yesterday the guy had to go get a modem sepcifically for a static ip he said... not for sure how all that works pricew | 15:04 |
| pricew | hmmm | 15:09 |
| wrst | all that seemed strange to me pricew | 15:09 |
| pricew | What would they do if you had your own modem? | 15:10 |
| wrst | beats me pricew | 15:10 |
| wrst | they really push for you to buy even a router, I guess to help them with support | 15:10 |
| pricew | In fact, I probably have an extra dsl modem at home somewhere. | 15:11 |
| pricew | If you don't want to rent theirs, that is. | 15:11 |
| wrst | well pricew I have 3 now after they proclaimed my modem was bad yesterday | 15:11 |
| wrst | :) | 15:11 |
| pricew | Maybe you should start your own DSL service. :) | 15:11 |
| wrst | I may need to have a modem yard sale | 15:11 |
| cyberanger | wrst: that is serously not right | 15:21 |
| wrst | what's not right cyberanger? | 15:22 |
| cyberanger | needing a different modem for static | 15:23 |
| cyberanger | needing to give up a static, and needing a guy to head down there to do that | 15:24 |
| cyberanger | for dsl, really not right | 15:24 |
| wrst | oh I know cyberanger | 15:24 |
| cyberanger | dsl is just a tunnel | 15:24 |
| cyberanger | pppoe | 15:24 |
| wrst | but they will eventually hunt and peck and get it working or I will call the cable company tomorrow | 15:25 |
| wrst | cyberanger: they have been nice and have really tried I think they just don't know much | 15:26 |
| wrst | pricew: does twin lakes have a IT person that helps out with the DSL stuff? | 15:26 |
| cyberanger | wrst: is the dsl modem set up as a dumb modem, or a "smart modem" | 15:26 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I don't know... I'm thinking the whole system is pretty dumb right now ;) what's the difference? | 15:27 |
| cyberanger | difference is you can tell ubuntu to handle it, if it's dumb | 15:27 |
| cyberanger | or your router, for that matter | 15:28 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger I normally use dd-wrt router, but for just getting it to work I have a Win 7 laptop sitting on the desk just wanting to get internet to it then I can handle the rest :) | 15:28 |
| cyberanger | wrst: tell dd-wrt to grab an address over ppoe, you should be running then | 15:29 |
| cyberanger | unless they've really screwed up | 15:29 |
| cyberanger | (not giving you a static you already had, did they explain that?) | 15:29 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I have it working now I beleive with dhcp which is fine just to have something working | 15:31 |
| cyberanger | is it dhcp or dhcp over pppoe | 15:33 |
| wrst | just dhcp | 15:33 |
| cyberanger | hrm, that's odd | 15:33 |
| wrst | or I beleive cyberanger that is correct I'm not really for certain | 15:33 |
| cyberanger | the modem is set for a smart mode, if it's just dhcp | 15:33 |
| * cyberanger wonders about your isp | 15:34 | |
| wrst | cyberanger: I do too, they are great at phone service and repair, just not with the internet, it gets very frustrating, but they people are so nice its hard to get flat out mad | 15:41 |
| cyberanger | wrst: well, ask if they're hiring, I prefer that stuff, and I'm nice (well, ok, I have my moments ;-)) | 15:43 |
| wrst | ha ha they could use you cyberanger | 15:44 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I know most of the repair guys so I just left a key so they could let themselves in if the lets you know what I think about them | 15:44 |
| wrst | just frustrated they couldn't get it fixed | 15:44 |
| pricew | wrst: A friend of mine helps them with their IT stuff, but I think that he just helps with their "internal" needs. So, is it fixed? | 15:46 |
| cyberanger | well, some ways it does | 15:46 |
| cyberanger | unfortunately, still doesn't explain this mess | 15:47 |
| wrst | pricew: supposed to be, had to move to dhcp i just don't think they knew how to set the other up | 15:47 |
| pricew | wrst: cool. Maybe you can tackle the static IP stuff on another day. :) | 15:48 |
| wrst | pricew: I really think they would do well to hire someone, on their internet side think it would end up saving them money and having much happier customers | 15:48 |
| pricew | Probably so. | 15:49 |
| wrst | pricew: if it doesn't change often I won't really care, I take care of some stuff on comcast and it hasn't changed in two years | 15:49 |
| wrst | but I just feared with the setup they have everytime the modem restarted I would have a new IP address | 15:49 |
| pricew | ever used dyndns.com? | 15:51 |
| wrst | pricew: I think I may use that for our opendns setup at church | 15:52 |
| * wrst wonders if he is thinking of the right thing so checks it out | 15:53 | |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: pong | 15:53 |
| wrst | nope pricew thinking of something else but I might do that | 15:54 |
| wrst | probably a lot easier than gettting a static IP :) | 15:54 |
| pricew | yup. :) | 15:54 |
| wrst | hmm and I see FREE pricew thats my favorite word | 15:56 |
| pricew | yup, mine too! | 15:56 |
| wrst | and that's my wifes mission number one | 15:57 |
| cyberanger | wrst: my favorite is sucess, but free is up there | 15:58 |
| wrst | cyberanger: i'm just cheap | 15:58 |
| * wrst wonders if pace_t_zulu has quit drooling over the latest Mac news | 15:58 | |
| cyberanger | and if they were sucessful, in keeping your ip, it'd still be free | 15:59 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: see pm | 15:59 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: what news? | 16:01 |
| wrst | the OSX nes from this week about 10.7 :) | 16:01 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: no issues with that whatsoever | 16:01 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: yea... i'm bout to renew my ios developer program membership | 16:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: thinking about enrolling in mac developer program | 16:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | i'd have access to 10.7 developer preview 4 | 16:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | i currently have access to ios 5 :D | 16:02 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: what about android | 16:06 |
| * cyberanger loves open sause, it tastes great | 16:06 | |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: i reckon i have access to android as well | 16:10 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: do you really think google is open source? | 16:10 |
| * pace_t_zulu thinks google isn't really that open | 16:11 | |
| cyberanger | depending on the item (this case android) yes | 16:15 |
| cyberanger | and android is, sure there are blobs I'm sure (there is in ubuntu for that matter) | 16:15 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: no... my point is they develop in a closed environment ... they occasionally snapshot the closed evironment to appease the open source folks | 16:23 |
| cyberanger | yeah, but does anyone do anything more (aside from openmoko) | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | Maemo is dead (which I hate, but it is) | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | one of Meego's backers ditched it for WM7 | 16:24 |
| cyberanger | for a system that was fully closed for years, it's more progress in less time | 16:26 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: ping | 16:56 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: ping | 17:00 |
| wrst | pace_t_zulu: pong | 17:02 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: pm | 17:02 |
| wrst | waiting :) | 17:03 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: ping | 17:05 |
| cyberanger | sorry, ran to fetch lunch | 17:54 |
| pace_t_zulu | going to grab lunch... afk | 18:05 |
| Unit193 | DynDNS used to have better addresses to pick from | 18:31 |
| cyberanger | there are other providers | 18:33 |
| Unit193 | I got to keep my .homelinux one :D | 18:34 |
| wrst | hello infocop411 if that is your real name | 18:40 |
| === infocop411 is now known as cyberanger | ||
| cyberanger | hey wrst | 18:45 |
| cyberanger | charter is toying with me | 18:45 |
| wrst | ha ha atleast you are connected cyberanger!! | 18:46 |
| cyberanger | wrst: I've got too many connections | 18:48 |
| cyberanger | keeping me from the internets is as easy as keeping silvester stalone from boxing | 18:49 |
| wrst | cyberanger: don't think i want to be that well connected :) | 18:51 |
| cyberanger | lol | 18:56 |
| wrst | its good to get away from being connected | 18:56 |
| cyberanger | One way or another though, it has to be ground zero or some disaster of equal magnitude to keep me offline | 18:56 |
| cyberanger | oh, I disconnect myself, but I ensure I've got options | 18:57 |
| cyberanger | (a curse from some logistic & anaylis backgrounds I guess) | 18:57 |
| cyberanger | I like the power of pulling the plug, somebody else doing it just doesn't fly | 18:58 |
| wrst | cyberanger: I understand that, but hopefully my plug will be hotter now, supposed to havea 10/1 connection now | 19:19 |
| cyberanger | nice | 19:24 |
| cyberanger | when girls hog the phone line, it's for calling boyfriends | 19:25 |
| cyberanger | when a geek hogs the line, you hear modem noise | 19:25 |
| cyberanger | I grew up hogging the line, then glued to the cable modem | 19:25 |
| pricew | wrst: Welcome to broadband. :) | 19:53 |
| wrst | ha ha pricew it should beat the 3.0/256 that I had | 19:54 |
| wrst | and I thought that was flying from where I had been | 19:54 |
| pricew | I got 30 on speedtest.net the other day from my cable modem. | 19:55 |
| wrst | pricew: that's just showing off ;) | 19:55 |
| pricew | That's as long as it stays up. I sometimes get 0/0 for days at a time. :) | 19:56 |
| wrst | ha ha | 19:58 |
| wrst | that's what I have had working on 5 days, but I think its up now | 19:58 |
| wrst | what usually causes your down time pricew? | 19:58 |
| pricew | Faulty equipment the last three times. 2 times was a signal booster and the other was some kind of grounding block. | 20:00 |
| wrst | nice hey atlest they know what went wrong ;) | 20:03 |
| cyberanger | wrst: it's always helpful to know what failed, unfortunately the ISP's don't make that easy | 20:05 |
| cyberanger | pricew: signal booster, wifi? | 20:05 |
| pricew | cyberanger: it was to boost the cable signal. Something like this: http://wall-brackets.manufacturer.supplierlist.com/productsimages/tvsignalbooster_143672.jpg | 20:16 |
| cyberanger | ah, intresting, never heard anyone use them for actual cable though (not that it couldn't be done, just never heard it done) | 20:21 |
| pricew | Yea, I think I've just got a weak signal. | 20:22 |
| wrst_ | woot | 23:05 |
| wrst_ | I have internets! | 23:05 |
| chris4585 | yay | 23:05 |
| wrst_ | yay indeed gotta restart it a time or two | 23:06 |
| cyberanger | pricew: happens (I've thought about doing that myself to compensate with signal loss) | 23:07 |
