[02:40] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: So glad to see you back!!!
[02:41] <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
[02:43] <Eickmeyer> What happened? Last I saw you your client had timed-out.
[02:45] <OvenWerks> Our telco basically decied not to serve us any more.
[02:46] <OvenWerks> We were doing adsl through a second company beside the the teco who paid for use of their line
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <OvenWerks> ... So we are now on cable and I expect our land line will go digital as well...
[03:09] <Eickmeyer> Oh, I see.
[03:11] <Eickmeyer> That's crazy, and not unlike a telco.
[03:11] <OvenWerks> well they were getting paid for two services... maybe none any more
[03:12] <OvenWerks> by the time we move away the gear they put in for the fibre may be too old to use too...
[03:13] <OvenWerks> course the telco may be gone first if they mess with too many people 
[03:17] <Eickmeyer> Areound here all they do is pay off the government more and the government looks the other way.
[03:18] <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.
[03:20] <OvenWerks> The one advantage the telco had (worked even with power otu) is now gone as the fibre end requires power.
[03:21] <OvenWerks> So I guess the cell phone is now emergency line anyway
[03:23] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yep, that's what we do.
[03:27] <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
[03:28] <Eickmeyer[m]> Oooo, yeah, probably.
[03:29] <OvenWerks> new one is a two core Atom based board... not good for much else besides server anyway.
[03:43] <Eickmeyer[m]> Still 64 bit is better.
[03:44] <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
[03:46] <OvenWerks> I'll check, downloading an ISO now :)
[03:52] <OvenWerks> hmm, maybe the old box has 100 M too
[03:57] <OvenWerks> This is about 10 times faster
[03:58] <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.
[05:49] <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
