[05:13] <Cheri703> I am trying to get my brain wrapped back around android rooting and doing things with adb shell...got a new phone for my mom and I'm getting it rooted and set up
[05:13] <Cheri703> it has been a long time since I've messed with it much
[05:13] <Cheri703> my phone is old and my nook was easy to root
[05:13] <paultag> canthus13: :D
[05:13] <paultag> damnit
[05:13] <paultag> Cheri703: :D
[05:13] <canthus13> :D
[05:13] <paultag> canthus13: :)
[05:13] <canthus13> :P
[05:13] <paultag> oh hey gilbert, around?
[05:14] <paultag> Cheri703: you can do awesome stuff from the shell via adb
[05:14] <paultag> Cheri703: launching intents, looking like a l337 h4x0r, etc
[05:14] <Cheri703> yeah, my mom's phone is going to be set up as simply as I can, buuut *rubs hands together* soon I hope to have a galaxy s 2 (the sprint version) of my own to play with. this is an lg optimus s
[05:15] <Cheri703> got my mom on www.ting.com and I'm headed there as soon as I can afford a phone
[05:17] <canthus13> Cheri703: My Motorola Photon was amazingly easy to root.
[05:17] <canthus13> one click, pretty much.
[05:17] <Cheri703> I have been debating between the s2 and the photon
[05:17] <Cheri703> I got a one click thing for the optimus, we'll see how it does
[05:17] <canthus13> Cheri703: aside from the touch screen, I *LOVE* it.
[05:18] <Cheri703> well...the touch screen is a slightly important part >.>
[05:18] <paultag> gilbert: just applied to NM, advocation pending :)
[05:18] <canthus13> Cheri703: I just don't like typing on touch screens. I want a keyboard. :/
[05:18] <canthus13> Cheri703: it's a nice touch screen, though.
[05:18] <Cheri703> ah
[05:19] <Cheri703> it is bulky compared to the s2
[05:19] <canthus13> Cheri703: It's not as bulky as I thought it would be.
[05:19] <canthus13> the S2 is crap.
[05:19] <canthus13> my wife has it. no SD card slot.
[05:19] <Cheri703> I like the idea of the sim card slot, but it is ~$100 more than the s2 with ting
[05:19] <Cheri703> hmm...I thought it had one? at least the sprint one does
[05:19] <canthus13> The S2 also has weird issues hanging.
[05:19]  * Cheri703 checks
[05:19] <canthus13> ...I don't think so.
[05:20] <canthus13> Just the internal 16GB.
[05:20] <Cheri703> at least from ting "Memory    16GB ROM, 1GB RAM, up to 32GB with MicroSD "
[05:20]  * Cheri703 goes to check sprint site
[05:21] <Cheri703> it may be under the back cover, lots of phones are like that
[05:21] <canthus13> Never mind. SHe's got the Nexus S.
[05:21] <Cheri703> ah, ok, and that one is crappy?
[05:22] <Cheri703> I need to get into a store and play with *actual* phones, not demos, yay mansfield, they're not easy to find :/
[05:23] <canthus13> The Nexus S gets really, really slow when there are a lot of pictures on it.
[05:23] <Cheri703> :/
[05:24] <Cheri703> I got a 16gb class 4 microsd on amazon for <$15...
[05:24] <Cheri703> WAY more than my mom will ever need, but it means she'll never have to worry about running out of space
[05:25] <Cheri703> my old cdma hero is getting glitchier and glitchier these days :/ it is well over 2 years old
[05:25] <Cheri703> which, for cell phones....ancient
[05:27] <Cheri703> canthus13: have you checked out dice.com for jobs? I was poking at it the other day, no idea how it compares to other sites
[05:28] <canthus13> Not in years.  I really should.
[05:28] <Cheri703> worth a look
[05:28] <canthus13> Last time I looked at it, it was very poorly organized.
[05:28] <Cheri703> has a pretty reasonable search function now
[05:28] <Cheri703> you can choose multiple areas to search
[05:28] <Cheri703> or by metro area
[05:29] <canthus13> I just found it a bit weird to use an IT focused site with such crappy web design.
[05:29] <Cheri703> heh, yeah
[05:29] <Cheri703> "we don't hire it folks, we just help them find other jobs"
[05:31] <Cheri703> paultag: you mess with arduinos and such, right?
[05:31] <Cheri703> (or anyone?)
[05:32] <paultag> Cheri703: yeah sure
[05:32] <paultag> totally
[05:32] <Cheri703> I want to find something like this: http://www.adafruit.com/products/170 without the arduino (friend sent me one, but a. I have no idea where to start, and b. I have no bits and pieces to play with)
[05:33] <Cheri703> do you know of any sources for something like that?
[05:33] <Cheri703> adafruit does not have them
[05:33] <Cheri703> from what I could find
[05:33] <Cheri703> I really want to play with it, but it has been sitting in a drawer for months :/
[05:33] <paultag> damn
[05:33] <paultag> Cheri703: I get most of my stuff from sparkfun and radioshack
[05:33] <paultag> also old computers from the dump
[05:34] <Cheri703> ok, do they have any kits and such?
[05:34] <paultag> yep, I think so
[05:34] <paultag> sparkfun that is
[05:35] <Cheri703> yeah, I don't want to hassle with teardowns at this point, low effort entry point is the goal. I have SO MUCH CRAP that I am behind on, and so little free time, I think this would be a good "after work" hobby to mess with. I have to do quiet things because husband is asleep when I get home
[05:35] <Cheri703> ok, will check it out
[05:37] <Cheri703> thanks paultag :)
[05:37] <paultag> yep :)
[05:40] <Cheri703> looks like their primary "here's a ton of stuff to use WITH arduino" kits come with them :/
