Cheri703yuppers01:15
skrappjawI plugged my no-ip account url into my browser on my phone... it brings up the webUI for my router. I can still connect via SSH to my pc that is on the wireless, but i'm not so sure i like my router open to the interwebs. Can I fix that?01:17
canthus13skrappjaw: log into your router and turn off remote access.01:18
skrappjawok.01:18

skrappjawim thinkin about rooting my phone...01:44
Cheri703yeah?01:44
skrappjawmy Dx2 is taunting me. I have gingerbreak and a few tutorials on how to unroot if needed.01:44
Cheri703heh01:45
skrappjawWhat did you root with?01:45
dmcglone1skrappjaw: bad thing is, the tutorials may not work01:45
skrappjawand what phone are you using?01:45
Cheri703I followed whatever directions were on xda-dev forum01:46
skrappjawok. Thats one of the places i was surfing info on.01:46
Cheri703mine is a sprint hero01:46
skrappjawI also have the latest 2.2.2 Froyo file and the tools for a complete flash to factory.01:46
Unit193canthus13: Don't you even think it...01:47
dmcglone1skrappjaw: what would be the benefit of rooting it?01:47
skrappjawfreeting or removing the bloatware. Programs i will never use that verizon installed.01:48
Cheri703wireless tether for root users!!01:48
Cheri703also superuser01:48
skrappjawThat too.01:48
Cheri703and adfree01:48
Cheri703and a bunch of other stuff01:48
skrappjawBetter memory allocation using the SD card.01:49
skrappjawterminal access. ;)01:49
canthus13Unit193: Eh?01:49
dmcglone1I see.01:49
dmcglone1I got a crappy phone that isn't worth my time to root :-/01:50
Unit193canthus13: Dang you! You ruined my mind and you don't even remember why ;)01:50
dmcglone1Unit193: we all ruined your mind in some way or another.. ;-)01:51
skrappjawI wonder if you can SSH back into the phone from pc...01:51
skrappjawdunno what i would do with it but... it sounds cool.01:51
dmcglone1ssh into your phone and take pics of whoever stole it ;-)01:52
skrappjawrawk!01:53
skrappjawthat would be awesome. Turn on all the GPS tracking and just go findem.01:54
dmcglone1nah, print there pics and plaster em all over the city on telephone poles01:54
dmcglone1of c ourse use the gps to make sure you put a bunch in an area the thief is in01:55
dmcglone1scare the holy shit out of him, before you get your phone back01:56
dmcglone1lol01:56
skrappjawDo phones have a MAC address? Could just have an app that pings when on WIFI. trackem via IP on the wifi.01:56
dmcglone1don't mention it's the phone, just make him think he's wanted, otherwise he'd dump the phone01:57
dmcglone1my phone has a mac01:57
skrappjawNo. Im just saying, use those bits to trackem in the process.01:57
dmcglone1would work I believe01:58
skrappjawKinda stupid to steal a phone that is so on the grid that you never know who is checkin you out.01:59
skrappjawi keep my GPS off. Maybe i need an app that will turn it on via text in case I miss place it01:59
dmcglone1one thing about verizon, they  don't use sim cards01:59
dmcglone1so anyone trying to dump the sim couldn't02:00
skrappjawdx2 doesnt have a sim?02:01
dmcglone1if it's not pre-paid02:01
dmcglone1verizon only uses sim's in pre-paid plans02:01
* Cheri703 will probably be woken up EARLY tomorrow >.<02:41
Unit193Why? Parents like morning?02:43
Cheri703parents usually get up between 5 and 6am...and I have to sleep on the couch since my acid reflux has been acting up lately...woo front door 6 feet from my head :/02:49
Cheri703oh, in case the front door reference doesn't make sense: when they visit, they bring their camper and sleep in it in the driveway02:52
Unit193You *could* always keep them up with you ;)02:53
Cheri703nah02:56
skellat:-(03:08
Unit193Eh?03:10
skellatJust realized one of the cities here in Ashtabula County is on track to go broke mid-August03:11
skellatThey'll be down to just $20k in their general fund at the very start of August as is.03:11
skellatConsidering that one week's payroll is $90k...they'll be unable to pay their bills shortly03:13
skellatThese are the tripwires that the city has to be careful to not cross: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/118.0303:15
skellatUnit193: I doubt any community in the Mansfield area is looking at having no money on-hand in the next couple months03:24
Unit193I wouldn't think so. Galion had some real issues, but that was because of embezzlement03:25
skellatThe situation in Ashtabula City is caused basically by a dysfunctional body of elected officials and an awfully high number of residents being on welfare and not paying taxes thereby03:28
skellatA pallet of OLPC units and appropriate education would make quite a difference in computer use, or the lack thereof, in the city03:30
Unit193Man am I glad I got a dyndns account when I did! Now you're stuck with crappy names...03:43
Unit193skellat: Is this the city you live in?03:44
skellatJust outside its border.  I live in Ashtabula Township, the unincorporated portion03:45
skellatI have to cross into it a lot03:45
skellatAnd they provide waste management & sewer service under contract for the trailer park I live in03:46
skellatUnit193: How do you most easily set up dyndns with a Netgear router?03:49
Unit193I don't :P03:50
Unit193You can use ddclient for linux if you have a box there03:50
Unit193If the router supports dd-wrt or tomato you should be in good shape. What router?03:50
skellatHold on.  Let me go look.03:51
skellatWGR61403:53
skellatI gotta wander off to bed.03:59
Unit193Dang, I missed him... I got a little glass in my hand...04:00
Unit193Looks like it has one built in, if not, ddclient04:01
thafreakMorning Ohio13:42
_bbbmorning15:28
_bbbjust picked up a WRT160LN15:29
_bbb99 cents15:29
_bbbhad a $75 amazon gift card =)15:30
thafreakAnyone see these new amd "APU's"?16:20
thafreakgpu and cpu combined in a single chip...16:20
canthus13Yep.  The i3 is one.16:21
thafreakdo you know which gpu is in the i3?16:21
thafreakand is the i5 and i7 the same?16:22
canthus13some odd offshoot of the 4500 iirc.16:22
canthus13not sure.. I think some i5s are.16:22
thafreakinteresting concept...not sure what I'd use them for...maybe to make lowend desktops cheaper...16:26
thafreakof course, I'm more of a fan of thin clients anyway.16:26
canthus13thafreak: That's pretty much it.16:31
_bbbnetbooks16:45
_bbband tablets16:45
canthus13_bbb: I'd have gotten the e2000 instead. they run about 70 bucks...16:46
canthus13if it's a 160N 3.0, it's worth it.. otherwise, it's memory starved.16:47
_bbbno usb port..16:47
_bbbi considered E2100L16:48
_bbbbut this was cheaper16:48
_bbband had external antennae16:48
_bbbWRT160LN and E2100L had similar specs16:49
_bbbnewer has more ram16:50
_bbbE3000 would have worked but didnt want to spend that much16:50
canthus13Yeah... it's pretty expensive.16:51
_bbbi get my T60 today19:16
_bbbwoot19:16
Unit193Cheri703: Is the Ubuntu News meeting called off?22:12
canthus13_bbb: Oh. the e2000 can have antennae added easily. just punch out the openings and connect the antenna leads.22:33
_bbbthat sounds an awful lot like work22:37
_bbbjust installed the natty22:37
canthus13_bbb: 10 minutes work. I'm gonna put +9db antennae on mine at some point.22:39
canthus13the real problem with the cd player-style routers is that they get really freaking hot.22:40
_bbbits that rock and roll music22:42
_bbbkids these days i tell you22:42
canthus13heh.22:44
