| canthus13 | herro. | 04:47 |
| skellat | Yo | 04:55 |
| Unit193 | It's alive! | 04:56 |
| skellat | If y'all were wonderin' what the recording scenario looks like for podcast type thingies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1ygxs1IGbA | 04:56 |
| skellat | Unit193: How goes your Sunday? | 04:56 |
| Unit193 | skellat: Very well! I had a thing with family | 04:57 |
| skellat | Excellent. I've been fixing tech things today. | 04:57 |
| skellat | And got to get through an entire church service without having to rush off to work | 04:59 |
| Cheri703 | o/ | 05:03 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: Howdy! | 05:07 |
| Cheri703 | how are you? | 05:07 |
| Unit193 | ^^^ Same as before ;) How be you? | 05:10 |
| Cheri703 | I'm alright overall | 05:10 |
| skellat | Google+ makes less sense so far than FriendFeed ever did | 05:13 |
| Cheri703 | so far I'm a fan | 05:13 |
| skellat | Too many librarian types are already involved in it. | 05:14 |
| Cheri703 | eh, I like the features | 05:14 |
| skellat | The litmus test is to see if the librarian types are still using it after a week | 05:17 |
| skellat | Librarians at large in the US go through social networks like a person with severe allergies ravages facial tissue boxes | 05:17 |
| skellat | I call it the social (network) butterfly effect | 05:18 |
| skellat | Always searching for the next best thing, never settling on anything for the here & now | 05:19 |
| Cheri703 | skellat: did my invite to you work properly? | 05:19 |
| skellat | Cheri703: Yep | 05:20 |
| Cheri703 | cool :) | 05:20 |
| skellat | My cat just tried to climb my dresser and failed in an epic fashion | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | hehe | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | I am waiting for tonight's episode of true blood to be finished...acquiring... | 05:22 |
| Cheri703 | >.> | 05:22 |
| Cheri703 | <.< | 05:22 |
| Cheri703 | and I have kept my living room "company ready" for more than 48 hours STRAIGHT! it's craziness... (normally it gets cluttery again pretty quickly) | 05:27 |
| canthus13 | Heh. mine didn't even survive the entire day yesterday... | 05:28 |
| Unit193 | Company ready? Naaa... We'll just go to them :P | 05:29 |
| * Cheri703 is consciously trying to keep it clean, parents coming wednesday, still more to do | 05:29 | |
| * skellat ponders the e-mail he got from the Forum Council | 05:30 | |
| Cheri703 | true blood is such an insane show... | 05:30 |
| skellat | And now to wander off to bed... | 05:34 |
| Unit193 | I guess we don't get to see it? | 05:46 |
| === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 | ||
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Which webcam do you have? | 19:53 |
| Cheri703 | it is an internal "bisoncam nb pro" | 19:53 |
| Cheri703 | so annoyed by this | 19:58 |
| canthus13 | Huh.. I'm not even really sure what mine is. | 19:58 |
| canthus13 | it works, though.. it just doesn't seem to be showing up in lsusb or lspci. | 19:58 |
| Cheri703 | I told them that if any of these issues recurred I wanted a refund...not sure if this counts since it's not *quite* the same thing, but...same result: non-functioning webcam | 19:58 |
| canthus13 | beh. Looks like the Loco will keep pimpin' System76. :) | 20:00 |
| * canthus13 is annoyed now. Can't figure out what cam he has... | 20:00 | |
| canthus13 | It works, it just doesn't show up. :/ | 20:01 |
| Cheri703 | rawr | 20:03 |
| Cheri703 | try gnome-device-manager | 20:03 |
| _bbb | lsusb | 20:10 |
| canthus13 | Heh. wow. nothing. | 20:11 |
| canthus13 | Well, it's there.. but it's still useless. | 20:11 |
| canthus13 | model: Integrated_Webcam_1.3M | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | how obnoxious. | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | subsystem: video4linux | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | Whatever.. it works. | 20:12 |
| canthus13 | never had any issues. | 20:12 |
| * canthus13 ponders disassembling his laptop to find out. | 20:14 | |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 20:15 |
| _bbb | dell? | 20:15 |
| Cheri703 | heh, don't know if it's worth that much effort | 20:15 |
| canthus13 | Mine? Yes. | 20:15 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: I know... It works, so why mess with it. :) | 20:15 |
| _bbb | whats the asset tag | 20:17 |
| _bbb | or whatever its called | 20:17 |
| _bbb | dmidecode -s system-serial-number | 20:18 |
| _bbb | sudo make me a sandwich | 20:20 |
| canthus13 | 87SL1K1 | 20:22 |
| _bbb | hmm can you get to support.dell.com ? I can't. =) | 20:25 |
| Cheri703 | canthus13: do you agree with my hypothesis that if the problem persists across multiple OS installations AND a liveboot that it's likely a hardware/firmware thing vs a software/user-caused thing? | 20:32 |
| Cheri703 | also: IF I could convince zareason to just refund me all money spent on this process so far (though I doubt they'd refund shipping, even though they should) I wonder if I could convince system76 to give me a discount... | 20:37 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Yep. it's hardware. | 20:53 |
| * Cheri703 is tired of having to deal with them | 21:15 | |
| canthus13 | I don't blame you. | 21:15 |
| Cheri703 | don't really want to deal with more crappiness from the lady | 21:15 |
| Cheri703 | and considering the initial shipping costs, and the $25 or so I spent to ship it in for repairs last time, if I have to ship it back AGAIN, I will be demanding refunds of those costs as well... | 21:16 |
| Cheri703 | an equivalent system76, with 6cell battery is like $444, this was $399 at purchase time, so if all of the shipping was refunded, I'd be close | 21:16 |
| Cheri703 | I'm trying to decide if I'd be open to replacement with the newer model of teo...not sure | 21:17 |
| canthus13 | ...You could present it to her face-to-face in september... :) | 21:19 |
| canthus13 | (Or would we need a referee? | 21:19 |
| Cheri703 | well, I'm not waiting that long to deal with it, though if they piss about it, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with her in a very public place...MORE than happy to share with others about how she talked to/about me | 21:30 |
| Cheri703 | I am giving them one last chance to do right, and then I am done. I will loudly proclaim the issues I have had with my machine. I've been reasonably quiet about it up to this point (other than a few specific locations) | 21:31 |
| Cheri703 | I don't care if it is the cheapest machine they sell, you know what? I am a paying customer, I paid for a working machine that would last me more than a few months, and the replacement should last more than a few months as well. it's insane | 21:31 |
| Cheri703 | bah, going to go be productive for a bit | 21:32 |
| Cheri703 | back in a while | 21:32 |
| canthus13 | Ok. have fun. :) | 21:46 |
| Cheri703 | made a bit more progress | 22:08 |
| Cheri703 | decided that the rest of cleaning the bathroom will wait til the day my parents are arriving, as we are going to be bathing 3 dogs between now and then, so it'd be futile to get it all sparkling clean first | 22:09 |
| Cheri703 | still have the kitchen and garage to finish though. garage is closer to done/tolerable than the kitchen though, and husband keeps saying he'll help but then keeps playing his stupid games | 22:09 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Pile everything around him. | 22:16 |
| canthus13 | ..or on him. :) | 22:16 |
| Cheri703 | I would if the primary items available for piling weren't either dishes or dog hair tumbleweeds from the garage | 22:17 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 22:18 |
| canthus13 | Wall him in, cask of amontillado style... | 22:18 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...I've pondered it...I could do something I've done in the past, when he's being particularly ridiculous...make the router deny his mac address internet access... | 22:19 |
| Cheri703 | that gets his attention pretty quick, but he throws tantrums | 22:19 |
| deejoe | if only you could just degrade the QoS to a slightly frustrating level | 22:23 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, my router doesn't let me change QoS, and I can't install other firmware, I totally would go that route...passive/aggressive, yes, but sometimes the only thing that works to get him to come up for air :/ | 22:25 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 22:26 |
