[00:29]  * ChinnoDog makes turkey induced yawn
[00:36] <ChinnoDog> To everyone that suggested Stratego as a game to gift last year, it is indeed fun.
[00:36] <ChinnoDog> I won twice.
[00:38] <ChinnoDog> The second time I tore through the enemy ranks with my colonel while he chased me around with his own colonel until most of his pieces were gone.
[00:48] <jedijf> used to play for hours
[00:49] <jedijf> 80's
[00:49] <jedijf> maybe started late 70's
[00:53] <MutantTurkey> stratego is for loseers
[00:53] <MutantTurkey> its all about risk
[02:24] <InHisName> I played back late 60's, nice game stratego.
[03:30] <waltman> Uno. It's all about games that can pit brother against brother and tear families asunder.
[03:30] <waltman> I guess Risk fits that too. As does croquet.
[04:30] <ChinnoDog> I like croquet. Not a game for the winter.
[04:43] <MutantTurkey> watching miracle sight

[14:55] <jedijf> walmart ac/dc commercials get me rockin'
[14:56] <jedijf> i wonder if i can request hell's bells
[14:57] <waltman> speaking of which, wxpn is inexplicitly playing "Black In Black"
[14:58] <waltman> I think it's a cover...
[14:58] <waltman> Daniella Cotton. OK, it's still XPN... :)
[14:59] <EvilResistance> greetings
[15:23] <jedijf> waltman: so we both listen to XPN.....
[15:25] <jedijf> i was thinking about doing a 'blues show' black friday in the office
[15:37]  * rmg51 listens to mp3's all day
[15:38] <rmg51> or internet radio
[15:38] <rmg51> xpn is the backup

[17:01] <jedijf> just welcomed tc
[17:03]  * waltman saw Tommy a lot back in the day
[18:02] <JonathanD> hi!
[18:02] <JonathanD> I just found a nice bluetooth keyboard for my phone
[19:27] <InHisName> Hi, anyone awake yet?      Does ubuntu come default with "packet socket" in it ?
[22:15] <InHisName> Ugghhh, I finnally got to bottom of mystery of my device's telnet behavior.
[22:22] <waltman> People still use telnet?
[22:37] <InHisName>  I finally made a script that will play and work with that telnet service.
[22:38] <InHisName> Seems this device needs EXTRA slow typing for it to understand what was typed at it.  Makes scripting it tedious and messy.  But I got it running now.
[22:39] <waltman> Er, couldn't you send the messages through a subroutine that inserts a delay after each character?
[22:39] <InHisName> I have an analog telephone adapter that is easiest to find out if phone line is registered with VoIP via the telnet access summary.
[22:39]  * ssweeny reads the internet using telnet to port 80 and a vivid imagination
[22:40] <InHisName> I finally slowed it down ehough to discover that that was the problem.
[22:41] <waltman> InHisName: Do you know about expect? It's a great tool for doing stuff like that. And I'd be surprised if it didn't have some facility for throttling output.
[22:41] <InHisName> I 'tested' 3 other telnet sites, devices etc. and they all were fine with full speed script typing.
[22:42] <InHisName> Its not expect.  its the typing of the response on my side.   i.e. the password needed at least 1.1 seconds tween each char typed.   1 wasnt good enough.!!
[22:43] <InHisName> Output didn't need throttling,  it was the input that needed SEVERE throttling.
[22:44] <waltman> Well, from your point of view, what you type is output, and what it sends back is input! That's what I meant.
[22:44] <InHisName> I had been doing delays of up to 20 seconds between strings.  I just never tried between chars.
[22:44] <waltman> weird
[22:45] <InHisName> Cheap hardware design.  No one on the net noticed either.  I may be one of a just a few to even try using telnet.
[22:46] <InHisName> I wanted to scrape info off it for use in nagios monitor.
[22:46] <InHisName> Now I can do that.
[22:46] <InHisName> waltman: do you know much about snmp protocol  and apps to use it ?
[23:24] <waltman> InHisName: not a thing
[23:25] <InHisName> pshaw !
