[01:15] <skrappjaw> Cheri703: you lurking?
[01:15] <Cheri703> yuppers
[01:17] <skrappjaw> I 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?
[01:18] <canthus13> skrappjaw: log into your router and turn off remote access.
[01:18] <skrappjaw> ok.
[01:19] <skrappjaw> will that still allow being connected via wireless?
[01:21] <Unit193> Yep
[01:23] <skrappjaw> coolies. Did it. thanks Broskis
[01:24] <Cheri703> ok, sorry, was distracted
[01:24] <Cheri703> :/
[01:24] <Cheri703> my parents are here
[01:24] <Unit193> Cheri703: Good luck! ;)
[01:24] <Cheri703> heh, thanks
[01:25] <Cheri703> so far so good
[01:25] <Cheri703> got to ride my dad's recumbent trike for a bit :) planning to do so tomorrow as well
[01:26] <skrappjaw> sweet. Are you gonna get one of your own?
[01:41] <Cheri703> I'd like to
[01:41] <Cheri703> but I can't afford one at this point :(
[01:42] <skrappjaw> Awe. Save yo pennies. :)
[01:42] <Cheri703> yeah :/
[01:43] <Cheri703> my parents each have one of these: http://www.icetrikes.co/explore-our-trikes/adventure (they were 35th anniversary gifts to each other)
[01:43] <Cheri703> they're FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN
[01:44] <skrappjaw> koolies
[01:44] <skrappjaw> im thinkin about rooting my phone...
[01:44] <Cheri703> yeah?
[01:44] <skrappjaw> my Dx2 is taunting me. I have gingerbreak and a few tutorials on how to unroot if needed.
[01:45] <Cheri703> heh
[01:45] <skrappjaw> What did you root with?
[01:45] <dmcglone1> skrappjaw: bad thing is, the tutorials may not work
[01:45] <skrappjaw> and what phone are you using?
[01:46] <Cheri703> I followed whatever directions were on xda-dev forum
[01:46] <skrappjaw> ok. Thats one of the places i was surfing info on.
[01:46] <Cheri703> mine is a sprint hero
[01:46] <skrappjaw> I also have the latest 2.2.2 Froyo file and the tools for a complete flash to factory.
[01:47] <Unit193> canthus13: Don't you even think it...
[01:47] <dmcglone1> skrappjaw: what would be the benefit of rooting it?
[01:48] <skrappjaw> freeting or removing the bloatware. Programs i will never use that verizon installed.
[01:48] <Cheri703> wireless tether for root users!!
[01:48] <Cheri703> also superuser
[01:48] <skrappjaw> That too.
[01:48] <Cheri703> and adfree
[01:48] <Cheri703> and a bunch of other stuff
[01:49] <skrappjaw> Better memory allocation using the SD card.
[01:49] <skrappjaw> terminal access. ;)
[01:49] <canthus13> Unit193: Eh?
[01:49] <dmcglone1> I see.
[01:50] <dmcglone1> I got a crappy phone that isn't worth my time to root :-/
[01:50] <Unit193> canthus13: Dang you! You ruined my mind and you don't even remember why ;)
[01:51] <dmcglone1> Unit193: we all ruined your mind in some way or another.. ;-)
[01:51] <skrappjaw> I wonder if you can SSH back into the phone from pc...
[01:51] <skrappjaw> dunno what i would do with it but... it sounds cool.
[01:52] <dmcglone1> ssh into your phone and take pics of whoever stole it ;-)
[01:53] <skrappjaw> rawk!
[01:54] <skrappjaw> that would be awesome. Turn on all the GPS tracking and just go findem.
[01:54] <dmcglone1> nah, print there pics and plaster em all over the city on telephone poles
[01:55] <dmcglone1> of c ourse use the gps to make sure you put a bunch in an area the thief is in
[01:56] <dmcglone1> scare the holy shit out of him, before you get your phone back
[01:56] <dmcglone1> lol
[01:56] <skrappjaw> Do phones have a MAC address? Could just have an app that pings when on WIFI. trackem via IP on the wifi.
[01:57] <dmcglone1> don't mention it's the phone, just make him think he's wanted, otherwise he'd dump the phone
[01:57] <dmcglone1> my phone has a mac
[01:57] <skrappjaw> No. Im just saying, use those bits to trackem in the process.
[01:58] <dmcglone1> would work I believe
[01:59] <skrappjaw> Kinda stupid to steal a phone that is so on the grid that you never know who is checkin you out.
[01:59] <skrappjaw> i keep my GPS off. Maybe i need an app that will turn it on via text in case I miss place it
[01:59] <dmcglone1> one thing about verizon, they  don't use sim cards
[02:00] <dmcglone1> so anyone trying to dump the sim couldn't
[02:01] <skrappjaw> dx2 doesnt have a sim?
[02:01] <dmcglone1> if it's not pre-paid
[02:01] <dmcglone1> verizon only uses sim's in pre-paid plans
[02:41]  * Cheri703 will probably be woken up EARLY tomorrow >.<
[02:43] <Unit193> Why? Parents like morning?
[02:49] <Cheri703> parents 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 :/
[02:52] <Cheri703> oh, in case the front door reference doesn't make sense: when they visit, they bring their camper and sleep in it in the driveway
[02:53] <Unit193> You *could* always keep them up with you ;)
[02:56] <Cheri703> nah
[03:08] <skellat> :-(
[03:10] <Unit193> Eh?
[03:11] <skellat> Just realized one of the cities here in Ashtabula County is on track to go broke mid-August
[03:11] <skellat> They'll be down to just $20k in their general fund at the very start of August as is.
[03:13] <skellat> Considering that one week's payroll is $90k...they'll be unable to pay their bills shortly
[03:15] <skellat> These are the tripwires that the city has to be careful to not cross: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/118.03
[03:24] <skellat> Unit193: I doubt any community in the Mansfield area is looking at having no money on-hand in the next couple months
[03:25] <Unit193> I wouldn't think so. Galion had some real issues, but that was because of embezzlement
[03:28] <skellat> The 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 thereby
[03:30] <skellat> A pallet of OLPC units and appropriate education would make quite a difference in computer use, or the lack thereof, in the city
[03:43] <Unit193> Man am I glad I got a dyndns account when I did! Now you're stuck with crappy names...
[03:44] <Unit193> skellat: Is this the city you live in?
[03:45] <skellat> Just outside its border.  I live in Ashtabula Township, the unincorporated portion
[03:45] <skellat> I have to cross into it a lot
[03:46] <skellat> And they provide waste management & sewer service under contract for the trailer park I live in
[03:49] <skellat> Unit193: How do you most easily set up dyndns with a Netgear router?
[03:50] <Unit193> I don't :P
[03:50] <Unit193> You can use ddclient for linux if you have a box there
[03:50] <Unit193> If the router supports dd-wrt or tomato you should be in good shape. What router?
[03:51] <skellat> Hold on.  Let me go look.
[03:53] <skellat> WGR614
[03:59] <skellat> I gotta wander off to bed.
[04:00] <Unit193> Dang, I missed him... I got a little glass in my hand...
[04:01] <Unit193> Looks like it has one built in, if not, ddclient
[13:42] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[15:28] <_bbb> morning
[15:29] <_bbb> just picked up a WRT160LN
[15:29] <_bbb> 99 cents
[15:30] <_bbb> had a $75 amazon gift card =)
[16:20] <thafreak> Anyone see these new amd "APU's"?
[16:20] <thafreak> gpu and cpu combined in a single chip...
[16:21] <canthus13> Yep.  The i3 is one.
[16:21] <thafreak> do you know which gpu is in the i3?
[16:22] <thafreak> and is the i5 and i7 the same?
[16:22] <canthus13> some odd offshoot of the 4500 iirc.
[16:22] <canthus13> not sure.. I think some i5s are.
[16:26] <thafreak> interesting concept...not sure what I'd use them for...maybe to make lowend desktops cheaper...
[16:26] <thafreak> of course, I'm more of a fan of thin clients anyway.
[16:31] <canthus13> thafreak: That's pretty much it.
[16:45] <_bbb> netbooks
[16:45] <_bbb> and tablets
[16:46] <canthus13> _bbb: I'd have gotten the e2000 instead. they run about 70 bucks...
[16:47] <canthus13> if it's a 160N 3.0, it's worth it.. otherwise, it's memory starved.
[16:47] <_bbb> no usb port..
[16:48] <_bbb> i considered E2100L
[16:48] <_bbb> but this was cheaper
[16:48] <_bbb> and had external antennae
[16:49] <_bbb> WRT160LN and E2100L had similar specs
[16:50] <_bbb> newer has more ram
[16:50] <_bbb> E3000 would have worked but didnt want to spend that much
[16:51] <canthus13> Yeah... it's pretty expensive.
[19:16] <_bbb> i get my T60 today
[19:16] <_bbb> woot
[22:12] <Unit193> Cheri703: Is the Ubuntu News meeting called off?
[22:33] <canthus13> _bbb: Oh. the e2000 can have antennae added easily. just punch out the openings and connect the antenna leads.
[22:37] <_bbb> that sounds an awful lot like work
[22:37] <_bbb> just installed the natty
[22:39] <canthus13> _bbb: 10 minutes work. I'm gonna put +9db antennae on mine at some point.
[22:40] <canthus13> the real problem with the cd player-style routers is that they get really freaking hot.
[22:42] <_bbb> its that rock and roll music
[22:42] <_bbb> kids these days i tell you
[22:44] <canthus13> heh.
[23:25] <Unit193> jwb1275! Long time no see (If I can remember you :P )
[23:25] <Unit193> How is Akron?
[23:33] <jwb1275> Hi Unit193   It has been awhile.  Akron is great!
[23:37] <Unit193> jwb1275: I have some family there, do you still have Ubuntu hours?
