[00:22] <greg-g> snap-l: I'm uploading at 300-400 kBytes/sec, not bad here
[00:29] <greg-g> snap-l: ugh, sorry to hear about jodee's gma :(
[01:13] <snap-l> greg-g: Way to rub it in (re the upload speed)
[01:13] <snap-l> greg-g: Thanks.
[01:53] <greg-g> snap-l: hey, it's faster than what I have at home!
[01:54] <greg-g> it's so fast, I'm trying to think of things to download/upload :)
[02:31] <snap-l> greg-g: Grrrrrrrr. :)
[02:31] <snap-l> Those speed tests last night made me realize that I no lonver even get 2Mbps up
[11:53] <rick_h_> morning
[15:33] <snap-l> Good morning
[15:33] <brousch> yessir

[16:08] <brousch> 720p?
[16:08] <snap-l> I have a 32" TV
[16:08] <snap-l> 1080p is a dream
[16:08] <brousch> Min eis only 40"
[16:09] <snap-l> Let me rephrase: The best my TV can currently do is 720p
[16:09] <snap-l> and that's fine
[16:09] <brousch> barbaric
[16:09] <rick_h_> 720P is find for 32"
[16:10] <rick_h_> only when you get bigger does it become noticeable
[16:10] <snap-l> I'm looking at it as something that can do Netflix in the living room
[16:10] <snap-l> as opposed to the Wii
[16:11] <snap-l> I'm not expecting much, and this looks pretty entry-level
[16:11] <rick_h_> so LT looks ok as long as you didn't want to wire it in so your wireless can take it
[16:11] <brousch> My blue ray player has netflix on it, so I haven't really looked around
[16:11] <rick_h_> time to upgrade to 802.11N :)
[16:12] <snap-l> I have N
[16:13] <brousch> I prefer to wire in everything that can be
[16:15] <juped> hi.
[16:15] <brousch> I just ran 1 cat6 cable and put a switch in my entertainment center
[16:16] <juped> Never used the ROKU, although I did play with the WD-TV.. then returned it.
[16:16] <juped> It was trash.
[16:17] <snap-l> Yeah, the reviews of the Roku seem pretty high
[16:17] <snap-l> and my bro-in-law has one that he seems to like
[16:22] <jrwren> my 27" TV is 1080p
[16:22] <snap-l> jrwren: And when did you buy it?
[16:22] <jrwren> a few months ago?
[16:22] <jrwren> the 1080p is really only nice when plugging in a PC
[16:23] <snap-l> Yeah, and this is more than adequate.
[16:23] <snap-l> It's already been one-clicked. ;)
[16:23] <jrwren> one-click os so dangerous.
[16:24] <jrwren> if only roku would run XBMC :]
[16:31] <juped> that'd be great.
[16:31] <juped> I love XBMC personally.. although I did have to drill a few through a few walls in my living room as I didn't want to bother with the wireless wrapper.
[16:31] <juped> to lay down cat6
[16:41] <jrwren> wireless wrapper?
[16:46] <rick_h_> <3 my rokus
[16:53] <jcastro_> <3 rokus
[16:53] <jcastro_> roku with plex is lovely
[17:18] <jrwren> i don't want to transcode.
[17:18] <jrwren> its crazy how ahead of its time xbmc was 5+yrs ago
[17:26] <jcastro_> the roku isn't powerful enough to handle a bunch of things, so you have to transcode
[17:26] <jcastro_> keeping in mind it's like, a 50 dollar device
[17:32] <snap-l> I'm never taking PTO ever again
[17:32] <snap-l> fucking plumbing went wonky
[17:32] <snap-l> seriously
[17:47] <snap-l> Glad I bought the Roku now, as it appears Amazon's Prime Videos are messed up with the version of Chrome I'm running
[17:47] <snap-l> Fuck you, DRM
[17:49] <nullspace> http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/6090168_700b_v1.jpg
[17:49] <snap-l> nullspace: Works for me.
[18:13] <jrwren> lol @ 999
[18:56] <lmorchard> Woo, I can has xchat
[18:57] <rick_h_> party
[18:57] <rick_h_> now to get irrsi alive and kicking (though I need need to check out weechat sometime)
[18:58] <brousch> pidgin!
[18:59] <rick_h_> fail
[18:59] <lmorchard> I use pidgin on windows, but it makes me grumpy
[19:00] <lmorchard> I had an irssi + screen thing going, but switched to znc + colloquy on os x
[19:02] <jrwren> i have a sparse file which i would like to move from computer A to B. 220MB actual used, 16GB sparse expanded. Anyone have suggestions on how to move it without expanding it?
[19:04] <rick_h_> jrwren: can you split a sparse file?
[19:04] <rick_h_> I'd guess you'd get several of the large files though :/
[19:04] <jrwren> right
[19:04] <jrwren> tar and zip both ignore the sparseness, so I get a huge file.
[19:05] <jrwren> oh, maybe tar -S option
[19:48] <rick_h_> http://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/holidaystats/ nice
[19:55] <snap-l> lmorchard: I use weechat personally. It seems to work nicely
[20:06] <widox> rick_h_: heh, awesome. I finally played it last week, hilarious
[20:09] <jcastro_> I dig weechat
[20:11] <jcastro_> rick_h_: I got that for Jill this xmas
[20:11] <jcastro_> Cards ahgainst humanity
[23:15] <snap-l> jcastro_: It's a great party game
[23:33] <snap-l> "Les invited you to join Rush" <- Hell yeah, but I think Neil might be upset.
[23:55] <snap-l> rick_h_: Not going to be able to make CHC this week. JoDee's Grandma's funeral is that day.
