| InHisName | Hi there EvilResistance, I see sadin left already. I have seen references to a real bargin 19" rack from IKEA. I think it was like $20. I don't have link handy or I'd have pasted it here... | 03:22 |
|---|---|---|
| InHisName | Good Morning | 05:37 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 10:02 |
| SamuraiAlba | Good bacon to all! | 10:05 |
| beta0x64 | hello | 10:10 |
| beta0x64 | I might as well tell you guys: I needed a webcam security system, so I used motion. I wanted it to automatically turn on when locking the screen, and I wanted it to send me emails with frame by frame photos | 10:12 |
| beta0x64 | so, that's what I made using a motion config file, a program that loops from startup and detects the screensaver process, and a send email script. I basically copy and pasted most of it and edited a few lines (The Unix Way?) | 10:13 |
| beta0x64 | I would really like to make an installation script for this, but I'm really really really lazy. If anyone's interested, I can show them the stuff. | 10:14 |
| SamuraiAlba | Not sure how to do that | 10:24 |
| beta0x64 | how to do what? | 10:25 |
| SamuraiAlba | install that | 10:25 |
| SamuraiAlba | and get the script running | 10:25 |
| beta0x64 | it's pretty easy | 10:26 |
| beta0x64 | basically just copy and paste the scripts | 10:27 |
| beta0x64 | install motion | 10:27 |
| beta0x64 | line up a couple paths | 10:27 |
| SamuraiAlba | Hmmm. Must look into it | 10:27 |
| beta0x64 | add the trigger script to startup applications | 10:27 |
| SamuraiAlba | anyway, off to uni | 10:27 |
| beta0x64 | k | 10:27 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 11:19 |

| adom | drivers* | 14:09 |
| ChinnoDog | 1875? | 14:21 |
| ChinnoDog | It must be made of wood and has a crank to start it | 14:21 |
| adom | yeah. steam-powered. | 14:50 |
| adom | had to download the drivers with a vaccum tube. | 14:50 |
| adom | the power source is a tesla coil | 14:50 |
| adom | need nerd answers: if you had to pick one website as a staple of end-user (easy to read/understand for non-nerds) information about cyber/internet security information, what would it be? | 17:21 |
| pleia2 | don't bother | 17:23 |
| ChinnoDog | You want someone nontechnical to understand internet security? | 17:59 |
| ChinnoDog | You could tell them what to do to stay safe but good luck making them understand why they have to do it. | 18:00 |
| jedijf | adom: lifehacker - should sprinkle in end user type security stuff with other stuff to keep them interested | 19:13 |
| jedijf | you may have to read it to them | 19:15 |
| ChinnoDog | It'll be the most boring story time ever | 20:07 |
| jedijf | hey, they had a great cake in a minute in a microwave story like a week ago | 20:09 |
