| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: So glad to see you back!!! | 02:40 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | :) | 02:41 |
| OvenWerks | no I havn't doen anything for a week. | 02:41 |
| OvenWerks | I could have I guess, but no access to do much | 02:41 |
| Eickmeyer | What happened? Last I saw you your client had timed-out. | 02:43 |
| OvenWerks | Our telco basically decied not to serve us any more. | 02:45 |
| OvenWerks | We were doing adsl through a second company beside the the teco who paid for use of their line | 02:46 |
| OvenWerks | the telco has changed all te phones in this area to fiber but left our inet on the copper... I guess the deal is, even though they promise adsl will not be effected, that after a while they "loose" the port and want $10 extra per month to get it back. | 02:47 |
| OvenWerks | or $30 more per month to switch to fibre | 02:47 |
| OvenWerks | ... So we are now on cable and I expect our land line will go digital as well... | 02:48 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh, I see. | 03:09 |
| Eickmeyer | That's crazy, and not unlike a telco. | 03:11 |
| OvenWerks | well they were getting paid for two services... maybe none any more | 03:11 |
| OvenWerks | by the time we move away the gear they put in for the fibre may be too old to use too... | 03:12 |
| OvenWerks | course the telco may be gone first if they mess with too many people | 03:13 |
| Eickmeyer | Areound here all they do is pay off the government more and the government looks the other way. | 03:17 |
| OvenWerks | It looks like I can go digital (VoIP) for about the same cost for a year what I am paying per month right now. | 03:18 |
| OvenWerks | The one advantage the telco had (worked even with power otu) is now gone as the fibre end requires power. | 03:20 |
| OvenWerks | So I guess the cell phone is now emergency line anyway | 03:21 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Yep, that's what we do. | 03:23 |
| OvenWerks | Now that my server is dhcp instead of pppoe might be a goos time to switch the server to the "new" box which is 64bit... instead of the P4 | 03:27 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Oooo, yeah, probably. | 03:28 |
| OvenWerks | new one is a two core Atom based board... not good for much else besides server anyway. | 03:29 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Still 64 bit is better. | 03:43 |
| OvenWerks | The atom has 100m ethernet ports, I think the P4 has 10m NICs | 03:44 |
| OvenWerks | And our net work service is now more than 10m | 03:44 |
| OvenWerks | I'll check, downloading an ISO now :) | 03:46 |
| OvenWerks | hmm, maybe the old box has 100 M too | 03:52 |
| OvenWerks | This is about 10 times faster | 03:57 |
| OvenWerks | just so you know, my wife is away fro a few weeks and my son has surgery as well. My mind may well be else where. | 03:58 |
| OvenWerks | off and on. | 03:58 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | That's just fine. Feature freeze is a week from Sunday, so that's the deadline for the wacom stuff, otherwise we'll have to revert the commit(s) and go with what we've got. :/ | 05:49 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | OvenWerks: And, sorry for the silence, I was watching a movie with my family. | 05:49 |
| OvenWerks | NP | 05:49 |
