[00:37:00] abarbaccia: anybody here skilled at getting irblasters to work?
[00:38:00] abarbaccia: its something to do with the modules because its not creating the other lirc device

[00:39:00] darkfire: that's usually what that means, afiak
[00:39:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, im not sure – i mean, the device isnt listed under /dev and the only other lirc device im running is the receiver

[00:42:00] SarahEmm: Monday is No Questions Day.
[00:42:00] SarahEmm: :o)
[00:42:00] SarahEmm: okay, fine.. what's the Q?
[00:43:00] darkfire: :-o an exception to no questions monday?
[00:43:00] darkfire: unheard of.
[00:43:00] SarahEmm: lol
[00:43:00] darkfire: Super_Cat_Frog, must be your luck day ;)
[00:44:00] Super_Cat_Frog: im confusing myself with recursion here, im trying to ask if i can ask a question (i think thats what i mean)
[00:44:00] Super_Cat_Frog: anyway....
[00:44:00] Super_Cat_Frog: has anything interesting happened in cvs in the last month for dvbt users?
[00:44:00] darkfire: aww, i got myself all worked up over the question, and it's not a fun one :(
[00:44:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, lirc_i2c, lirc_dev, lirc_core --- no lirc_serial
[00:45:00] Super_Cat_Frog: darkfire, sorry
[00:45:00] Super_Cat_Frog: argh! i dont care about michael jackson, for god sake, what happened to _news_?
[00:45:00] darkfire: try rmmod'ing lirc_i2c, and then modprobe lirc_serial (but to be honest, i'm kinda stabbing in the dark here)
[00:46:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, i just tried that – it wont let me remove lirc_i2c
[00:47:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, probably have to remove it from modules.conf, and reboot. some of those are kinda picky.
[00:48:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, i just got it to remove lirc_i2c, but i get that error again when trying to add lirc_serial
[00:49:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, hrmm, modinfo lirc_serial and see if you need to pass it any options (like the /dev of your serial port)
[00:49:00] darkfire: other than that, i have no idea. don't have a blaster, myself
[00:50:00] abarbaccia: nohthing
[00:50:00] abarbaccia: thanks tho – i appreciate you helping
[00:51:00] darkfire: yeah, the only thing i would know to try is just unloading all the lirc modules, and seeing if serial will load before the others
[00:51:00] darkfire: actually, what's dmesg say when you try to load lirc_serial ?

[00:52:00] abarbaccia: lirc_serial: port 03f8 already in use
[00:52:00] abarbaccia: lirc_serial: use 'setserial /dev/ttySX uart none'
[00:52:00] abarbaccia: lirc_serial: or compile the serial port driver as module and
[00:52:00] abarbaccia: lirc_serial: make sure this module is loaded first
[00:52:00] abarbaccia: sorry!!

[00:52:00] darkfire: ah hah, that's it
[00:53:00] abarbaccia: okay
[00:53:00] abarbaccia: so i have to use this setserial command
[00:53:00] darkfire: either use that command (dunno what it does) or remove the serial port driver from your kernel, and that should free up the device
[00:54:00] abarbaccia: whats the serial port driver name? how do i figure that out because i dont have that command avail to me
[00:55:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, when compiling the kernel, remove support for the serial port, doubt it has a specific device name
[00:55:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, i dont want ot recompile the kernel!!
[00:55:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, sorries.
[00:55:00] abarbaccia: on my slow myth box – god it'll take YEARS
[00:56:00] darkfire: it would seem that the kernel has serial port support compilied in (do an lsmod and see if something else mentions serial) and you need to compile it out
[00:56:00] darkfire: or google and find out where to get the setserial command

[01:01:00] abarbaccia: okay there are a whole lot of /dev/tty files – which one do i setserial?
[01:01:00] iggy: apt-get? what's that? some sort of emerge like thing?
[01:02:00] abarbaccia: iggy, its what debian and all debian based distros (ubuntu) use for package managment – its far superior to emerge and yum and yast or whatever you like to use

[01:03:00] darkfire: far superior? hah.
[01:03:00] abarbaccia: hahaha
[01:03:00] darkfire: someone just talked themself out of tech support ;)
[01:03:00] Dylan`: i need to create a mirror image of a hard drive, what is the best way of doing that
[01:03:00] abarbaccia: hey!!! What the hell!!!
[01:03:00] abarbaccia: Dylan`, dd
[01:03:00] JonK: dd
[01:03:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, actually, i have no idea. if 03f8 is a choice, go with that
[01:03:00] Dylan`: dd?
[01:03:00] abarbaccia: that's wat i was looking for
[01:03:00] abarbaccia: man dd
[01:04:00] darkfire: abarbaccia, the idea is to nail the serial your blaster is connected to, could be any /dev, depending on the set up
[01:04:00] abarbaccia: well, i only have one serial port though, not 349
[01:05:00] darkfire: i dont do much work with serial ports, i dont even know that it's a tty
[01:05:00] darkfire: actually, is there a ttys0?
[01:06:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, yea, i just read that that one defaults to the addr im using
[01:06:00] abarbaccia: so im gonna put this setserial command uptop above where my lirc modules are loaded and hopefully that'l do it

[01:11:00] sphing: sounds dumb... but my HD is crashing and i want to copy it over
[01:11:00] Dylan`: heheh....i had the same question
[01:11:00] kormoc: dd if=/dev/hddrivetocopy of=/dev/hddrivetocopyto
[01:11:00] sphing: it will copy it entirely?
[01:11:00] kormoc: byte to byte copy
[01:11:00] sphing: they arent the same size... that a problem?
[01:12:00] kormoc: larger or smaller is the destination
[01:12:00] kormoc: ?
[01:12:00] sphing: smaller... but it has enough space for everything
[01:12:00] Dylan`: hmm...for me it could be either ^_^
[01:12:00] kormoc: if it's smaller, dd won't work

[01:12:00] Dylan`: it was a real bitch for me, my comp has 3 HDs, but ones noisy as fuck
[01:12:00] abarbaccia: darkfire, im getting much closer- now its giving me a cannot connect to socket error – but the driver loaded! its in lsmod as well
[01:13:00] sphing: kormoc: say I get a bigger one
[01:13:00] sphing: i can dd it
[01:13:00] kormoc: yup
[01:13:00] sphing: then, can I copy it to the smaller one
[01:13:00] ** kormoc raises a eyebrow **
[01:13:00] sphing: (not using dd obviously)
[01:13:00] Dylan`: the noisy one HAD to be my fucking primary.
[01:13:00] kormoc: you could just cp -r / /mnt/drive2copyto
[01:14:00] kormoc: and you'd need to reinstall grub/lilo but it should copy all the files over perfectly fine.
[01:14:00] abarbaccia: kormoc, thats assuming he has only one partition
[01:14:00] sphing: yea i could do the grub no problem
[01:14:00] sphing: i have 3
[01:14:00] kormoc: abarbaccia, good point, yes indeed.
[01:14:00] sphing: ill copy to the big one
[01:14:00] kormoc: sphing, 3 partitions you'd wanna keep?
[01:14:00] sphing: 2
[01:15:00] sphing: one is swap
[01:15:00] kormoc: yeah
[01:15:00] Dylan`: oh, one more thing...
[01:15:00] sphing: basically... /boot swap and /
[01:15:00] kormoc: you could copy the boot to /boot on the new drive just fine
[01:15:00] sphing: on a 40gig
[01:15:00] sphing: ok
[01:15:00] kormoc: (you'd also wanna do --perserve=all to the cp)
[01:15:00] Dylan`: i have a shitload of media on my computers (running on a home network). Do you think it would be good to set up a server to store all that shit, would it make things any faster?
[01:16:00] sphing: could i in theory copy everything to a 160 gig
[01:16:00] sphing: then load up the partitions on an 8 gig
[01:16:00] sphing: and work from there?
[01:16:00] kormoc: Dylan`, likly not, but it's still a cool solution to have one massive file server
[01:16:00] SarahEmm: Dylan`: probably not faster, just more organized.
[01:16:00] abarbaccia: sphing, you could in theory – faster? don't know about that – streaming media through a network is always slower than locally accessing it – and if its wireless – video can be too much throughput
[01:17:00] SarahEmm: i like having everything in the house on one big file server here, that's got RAID5 and such

[01:17:00] abarbaccia: SarahEmm, why do you need a raid 5 media server for your house? a little overkill no?
[01:17:00] kormoc: indeed, blow out a drive, no big deal, swap in a new one and rebuild and there's all your files.
[01:17:00] kormoc: abarbaccia, drives do die from time to time.
[01:17:00] kormoc: 0+1 would be overkill imho :P
[01:18:00] Dylan`: not on wireless, but mostly video.

[01:18:00] SarahEmm: abarbaccia: because it's media + code + random other stuff, and we lose drives now and then
[01:18:00] SarahEmm: this way we never lose data
[01:18:00] SarahEmm: and it's not expensive.
[01:18:00] abarbaccia: I mean, whatever floats your boat -
[01:19:00] SarahEmm: 4 drives + software RAID + hotswap chassis for each drive

[01:19:00] SarahEmm: okay...
[01:20:00] abarbaccia: hey guys, if i have more than one lirc instance running – the addition device should show up as /dev/
[01:20:00] abarbaccia: ???
[01:20:00] abarbaccia: /dev/???
[01:20:00] SarahEmm: err, why would you ahve more than one running?
[01:21:00] abarbaccia: reciever + transmitted to settopbox
[01:21:00] SarahEmm: you can't do all that in one instance?
[01:21:00] abarbaccia: is it /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc1 or /dev/lircd0 and /dev/lircd1
[01:21:00] rjune: SarahEmm: software RAID or hardware RAID?
[01:21:00] abarbaccia: nope – it needs 2 modules compiled into the kernel

[01:23:00] SarahEmm: rjune: software RAID. 3ware cards are out of my budget and they're the only ones that do true hardware raid-5 on SATA that i could find
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: so i'm using linux software RAID
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: OS is on two PATA drives in RAID-1, data is on 4 SATA drives in RAID-5
[01:23:00] rjune: the 3ware cards are sweet
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: yeah, but expensive
[01:23:00] rjune: I wanna build a monster raid array
[01:23:00] SarahEmm: this way we just got a cheap 4channel SATA controller non-raid, and do it in software
[01:24:00] rjune: how much space?
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: me?
[01:25:00] rjune: yea
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: 4x160GB drives so 480GB
[01:25:00] rjune: nice
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: was built just over a year ago, so that was the best price point at the time
[01:25:00] SarahEmm: these days i'd probably go 4x250GB for 750GB total
[01:26:00] ** rjune wants 8 400GB **
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: but at that time, the price/GB ratio went way worse after 160
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: lol, nice.
[01:26:00] abarbaccia: at work i have a dual processor linux workstation with 1.2 TB in raid 5  :) and that's just the one for my "demo" project
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: nice

[01:48:00] Ray_: Does anyone here use a Avermedia tv tuner? And if so are there any problems getting it to work?
[01:49:00] Baylink: I rather suspect, Ray, that it depends on whether it's MPEG or not. I believe both work now... what model?

[01:55:00] hadees: Ray_, hehe well your not really the kind of user i was looking for, i was looking for a mythtv expert, i think i know alot and i wrote a forum post to a systm forum that gives better information then the episdoe, http://www.scopetech.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3334
[01:55:00] hadees: i was wondering if i should add anything
[02:06:00] mchou: Ray_: the aver pvr 150 do not work in linux.
[02:06:00] abarbaccia: pvr150s work in linux
[02:06:00] mchou: Ray_: old blackbird/rosalyn?? design
[02:06:00] mchou: abarbaccia: read what I wrote.
[02:07:00] abarbaccia: aver? is that a different chip?
[02:07:00] mchou: aver==avermedia
[02:07:00] abarbaccia: right...is that not a hauppauge card then?
[02:07:00] mchou: abarbaccia: dude, why you need to belabor the obvious?
[02:08:00] abarbaccia: because i didnt understand
[02:08:00] mchou: abarbaccia: then do some homework.
[02:08:00] abarbaccia: sorry if i didnt research every manufacturer of every card that's available
[02:09:00] SarahEmm: err
[02:09:00] SarahEmm: but you just asked if a card made by 'aver' is a 'hauppauge' card
[02:09:00] SarahEmm: no, it's an 'aver' card.
[02:09:00] mchou: abarbaccia: if you didnt know jack about it, why you spouting off bad info?
[02:09:00] SarahEmm: 'cuz it's made by 'aver
[02:09:00] abarbaccia: "bad info" i believe my pvr-150 works FINE in linux -
[02:10:00] mchou: abarbaccia: yeah, except I wasnt talking about hauppauge pvr150.
[02:10:00] abarbaccia: sorry if i didnt understand your way-too-cool slang for capture card vendor names

[02:13:00] abarbaccia: NO – shut the fuck up fag, sorry i made a mistake way to jump down someones throat for trying to help
[02:13:00] Ray_: What kind of remotes do you guys recommend?
[02:14:00] mchou: abarbaccia: coolness has nothing to do with it. Bad info is not "help"
[02:14:00] mchou: abarbaccia: with friends like you ppl wont need enemies.
[02:14:00] abarbaccia: do me a favor, just don't talk anymore – that would be great – i will no longer try to help anybody here with any of their problems
[02:15:00] abarbaccia: you can just pretend to be a channel mod and help everybody with all their problems since that seems like all you do with ur life

[02:30:00] reel: i am so confused by this. why would having my s-video cable plugged in prevent linux from starting? it works fine on another computer
[02:31:00] gnarface: its not preventing it from starting
[02:31:00] reel: sure it is
[02:31:00] gnarface: your nvidia card is autodetecting your tv

[02:31:00] reel: yeah
[02:31:00] reel: or ping
[02:32:00] gnarface: dunno then. you really screwed it up somehow though and the way to fix it is probably to make sure that your tv-out config for your nvidia card is working properly.
[02:32:00] reel: i see the hard drive light flash for a bit where it would start but then nothing happens after that. the tv continues with a blank display and if i plug in the monitor at that point, nothing happens
[02:32:00] reel: i am just so confused because i see the bios display through tv-out but then when grub takes over, it is the end
[02:33:00] gnarface: well keep in mind that nvidia cards autodetect what's connected and try to (sometimes improperly) pick the 'primary' output that way
[02:33:00] gnarface: there are X driver options to override the decision. i recommend reading the nvidia readme file
[02:33:00] gnarface: especially the appendix on configuring tv-out
[02:33:00] reel: yeah i can do the force connected but should it be reading the xorg file at the point of loading grub?
[02:33:00] reel: I thought that it only read that when it moved to level 5 near the end of booting
[02:33:00] gnarface: it does
[02:34:00] gnarface: maybe your problem is with directfb then
[02:34:00] gnarface: are you using directfb?
[02:34:00] reel: what is that
[02:34:00] gnarface: hmm. its something for doing x to a framebuffer
[02:34:00] gnarface: i think.
[02:34:00] gnarface: i know you shouldn't use it with nvidia cards
[02:34:00] reel: i haven't the slightest clue if i am or not. i have been trying to figure out what is going on because my last system i built with a similar graphics card just worked after following the howto
[02:35:00] gnarface: you should not use console framebuffer at all with nvidia cards.
[02:35:00] gnarface: do you see grub at all?
[02:35:00] reel: when i use the vga, i can see everything. when i use s-video, i see bios, loading grub stage 2 then black screen with signal (as opposed to no signal)
[02:36:00] digitalb0y: if you don't know that directfb is your mostlikely not using in no major distro uses it by default
[02:36:00] gnarface: digitalb0y: thanks
[02:36:00] roz: just reinstalled the mythtv box here, and now when I exit watching a recording, the sound repeats itself for like 10 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[02:37:00] reel: yeah i am on fc3 following the howto but i installed everything
[02:37:00] gnarface: reel: sounds to me you've got console framebuffer on
[02:37:00] gnarface: reel: you using xdm or anything like that?
[02:37:00] reel: no xdm found in ps aux
[02:37:00] gnarface: it could be under another name
[02:38:00] gnarface: did you set it up to boot to a graphical log-in prompt?
[02:38:00] reel: yeah it does
[02:38:00] gnarface: ok
[02:38:00] gnarface: did you configure your tv out at all?
[02:38:00] reel: default runlevel in /etc/inittab is 5
[02:38:00] reel: so it goes to the fedora login
[02:38:00] rjune: on my nvidia cards I didn't have to set tv out, it just worked.

[02:39:00] reel: rjune: on my last one, i followed jarod's howto and it all worked according to that with a little bit of minor tweaking
[02:39:00] rjune: ah. have fun
[02:39:00] gnarface: rjune: i fixed it. it was easy.
[02:39:00] rjune: reel: yeah jarod's howto is pretty good
[02:40:00] reel: only thing is that i want to use a wireless pci card in here so i have to use a special kernel from linuxant i think it is that has a 16k stack
[02:40:00] rjune: I just updated my mythbox to fc4. I'm hoping all goes well
[02:40:00] rjune: reel: which wifi card?

[02:40:00] reel: the dlink needs ndiswrapper but i got it recognized
[02:41:00] reel: i was hitting some walls with the wpa stuff but i have abandoned that for a bit
[02:41:00] rjune: one day I'll learn about wifi
[02:41:00] rjune: one day I'll be cool enough to have a WAP too
[02:42:00] reel: heh
[02:43:00] reel: i am putting it in single user mode by default and rebooting
[02:43:00] gnarface: reel: i think you should do this instead: 1) disable console frame buffer 2) make the default init level 3
[02:43:00] gnarface: then when it boots try to startx
[02:44:00] gnarface: that will tell you what the problem is right there.
[02:44:00] reel: ok
[02:44:00] reel: any idea what the console frame buffer is called?
[02:44:00] gnarface: no.
[02:45:00] gnarface: this is something that happens at kernel level
[02:45:00] gnarface: your alternate kernel perhaps has it enabled by default.
[02:45:00] gnarface: you can probably disable it with a kernel option
[02:45:00] gnarface: this is something you will have to do through grub
[02:45:00] gnarface: the grub documentation should make it fairly clear.
[02:46:00] reel: ok i will look into that, thanks
[02:46:00] gnarface: no problem.
[02:47:00] gnarface: and read the nvidia driver readme on how to set up tv-out for christ sakes
[02:47:00] gnarface: it will help
[02:47:00] reel: yeah i did. i have the options tested but it shouldn't matter at this point

[03:42:00] hadees: air2pc and pcHDTV are the only HDTV linux cards
[03:43:00] hadees: air2pc being the better
[03:43:00] JohnnyQuest: is it still wokring?
[03:43:00] JohnnyQuest: cuz i jsut clicked it to..
[03:43:00] iggy: that name seems odd
[03:43:00] JohnnyQuest: and it didnt work..
[03:43:00] CellarDoor: hmm
[03:43:00] iggy: HDTV and DVB-t in the same product name?
[03:43:00] monkeyBox: gnarface: the one I've selected says "en ac3 6ch" is that not the one I want?
[03:43:00] JohnnyQuest: could it by my isp blocked it?
[03:43:00] JonK: its fine
[03:43:00] hadees: iggy, its possible isn't it
[03:43:00] JonK: doubt it
[03:43:00] JohnnyQuest: then why cant 2 computers connect to it?
[03:43:00] JonK: more likely you dont hvae dns for some reason
[03:44:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: *shrug* if you're not on the wrong track i dunno what the problem is. are you sure 6 channel playback even works right on your setup?
[03:44:00] JohnnyQuest: it worked fine earlier...
[03:44:00] JohnnyQuest: but other sites are working...
[03:44:00] CellarDoor: well its on the wiki
[03:44:00] JonK: no idea
[03:44:00] JonK: i hit it fine
[03:44:00] JohnnyQuest: ok
[03:44:00] JonK: i'd hit it!
[03:44:00] JohnnyQuest: soo wierd...
[03:44:00] JohnnyQuest: lol
[03:44:00] hadees: iggy, you would know better then me though
[03:44:00] monkeyBox: gnarface: hmm.. well, I don't really have 6ch on this box, but should the player convert it to 2ch, even when the source is 6ch?
[03:45:00] iggy: hadees: well, it doesn't make sense
[03:45:00] iggy: HDTV is a US only(mostly) thing... the rest of the sane world uses dvb-t
[03:45:00] monkeyBox: what do I do if one of my boxes doesn't have a 6ch setup, but the other does, and they share the same Movies?
[03:45:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: is this your first day with a new wooden brain?
[03:45:00] iggy: there's nowhere that they overlap afaik
[03:46:00] hadees: iggy, why DVB is just a medium for reciving SAT right? and HDTV is a high quality TV format
[03:46:00] CellarDoor: What about the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150
[03:46:00] monkeyBox: gnarface:  ?
[03:46:00] gnarface: hahahah
[03:46:00] SarahEmm: err, you mean ATSC iggy?
[03:46:00] iggy: DVB-t means DVB terrestrial
[03:46:00] SarahEmm: ATSC vs. DVB-T?
[03:46:00] hadees: oh hmm
[03:46:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: just make sure the damn thing plays right on a system KNOWN TO HAVE A GOOD 6CHANNEL SETUP
[03:46:00] iggy: SarahEmm: synonmous for out discussion.... you pedantic......
[03:46:00] iggy: *our
[03:46:00] abarbaccia: hey gnarface do i need to create one of these pid files? or should it make one for me when i go to run the 2nd instance
[03:47:00] monkeyBox: gnarface: what if one system has 6ch and the other doesn't, and they both share the same movie db?
[03:47:00] CellarDoor: I'd like to get a tv card for my kubuntu system that just works if you know what I mean ;)
[03:47:00] iggy: the 150 works for most people
[03:47:00] D-side (~brian@pcp0011384629pcs.ebrnsw01.nj.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:47:00] monkeyBox: are you saying I'll have to make 2 different copies of the same movie, one for 6ch and one for 2ch?
[03:47:00] hadees: iggy, so could there be a DVB HDTV card?
[03:47:00] iggy: but there's never a gaurantee on anything in here
[03:47:00] SarahEmm: iggy: lol.. sowwy :)
[03:47:00] CellarDoor: the Hauppauge PVR-150 ?
[03:47:00] iggy: hadees: not that I know of
[03:47:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: the dvd you're copying from has (at least) two different audio tracks, and possibly more video tracks.
[03:47:00] iggy: CellarDoor: yes
[03:48:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: so you do the math.
[03:48:00] CellarDoor: ah rite cool thanks iggy
[03:48:00] hadees: if you want 2 tunners then the pvr-500 is really just two pvr-150s
[03:48:00] CellarDoor: I might go with that one then
[03:48:00] CellarDoor: I only need one
[03:48:00] hadees: pvr-250 is the best supported one
[03:48:00] hadees: first one really used
[03:49:00] hadees: man those were the days
[03:49:00] SarahEmm: heh
[03:49:00] iggy: the 150 seems to be slightly more stable than the 500
[03:49:00] SarahEmm: the -500 doesn't work reliably for everyone yet tho
[03:49:00] SarahEmm: yeah
[03:49:00] SarahEmm: -500 works fine video-wise for me, but not for everyone
[03:49:00] CellarDoor: EverythingLinux in Sydney have the 150 in stock
[03:49:00] hadees: hmm really i would figure that since it was just 2 tuners it would stay pretty much in line with pvr-150 dev
[03:49:00] gnarface: abarbaccia: it should make one for you every time you run an instance of lircd. my copy bitched about the second one until i manually picked a different pidfile name for each instance. note you can do this with one of the lircd command-line options (man lircd)
[03:50:00] gnarface: hey everyone
[03:50:00] SarahEmm: hadees: you'd think :)
[03:50:00] gnarface: i have a serious issue
[03:50:00] gnarface: this pisses me off at least 3 times a day
[03:50:00] SarahEmm: hadees: some people seem to be able to get Tuner #1 going but not #2
[03:50:00] monkeyBox: gnarface: I know this.. but what I was wondering is can apps like mplayer use a 6ch source and still work for a 2ch setup? I've ripped lots of 6ch movies before and they work fine on a 2ch system...
[03:50:00] iggy: yeah, I've had my 150 working since Feb, and everyone else seemed to have horrible trouble until about a month and half ago
[03:50:00] gnarface: how come nobody knows to read the man page first?
[03:50:00] gnarface: like seriously
[03:50:00] CellarDoor: hmm
[03:50:00] JonK: sarahemm: remove the 350 and the 500 works fine
[03:50:00] gnarface: someone needs to make billboards that just say "when in doubt, read the damn man page"
[03:50:00] hadees: iggy, i have had trouble with my m179s for ever
[03:50:00] CellarDoor: iggy, well, as long as it works ;)
[03:51:00] hadees: and everyone else seems to have no problem
[03:51:00] iggy: hadees: that's because you're the only one that has them :P
[03:51:00] hadees: iggy, they were $50 each
[03:51:00] hadees: same tuner as the pvr-250
[03:51:00] iggy: they are just taunting you
[03:51:00] JonK: or how bout just RTFM across an entire billboard
[03:51:00] abarbaccia: gnarface, i did specify one – it said it couldnt open or create a file – i just dont get it
[03:51:00] hadees: the huge ebay deal

[03:51:00] iggy: hadees: it was such a good deal for a reason....
[03:52:00] hadees: iggy, hehe they charge more for them now
[03:52:00] gnarface: monkeyBox: then that's the question you should be asking, but you probably shouldn't be asking it in this channel, since none of us know.
[03:52:00] abarbaccia: gnarface, did you have a /dev/lircd1 before you ran the 2nd instance? because i don't have that device...
[03:52:00] hadees: iggy, the only problem is the removable connector
[03:52:00] Johnny_Quest: monkeybox
[03:52:00] Johnny_Quest: if you have a windows, you can make one copy with dvdshrink
[03:52:00] abarbaccia: gnarface, i have my other two devices (/dev/lirc0 and /dev/ledxmit0) but only one lircd device which i think is the problem
[03:53:00] gnarface: abarbaccia: /dev/lircd gets created on the fly.
[03:53:00] monkeyBox: Johnny_Quest: no, I don't have windows on my DVD machine, but what exactly does that do?
[03:53:00] Johnny_Quest: rips it, compresses it to 4.7 gb
[03:53:00] Johnny_Quest: and you can select wat audio tracks and subtitles you want
[03:53:00] abarbaccia: gnarface, so its all about me getting that 2nd instance of lircd running – i am going to try tomorrow just running the irblaster part to see if that works, then i can fuss with getting both simultaniously
[03:54:00] gnarface: abarbaccia: check permissions of the user starting lircd first... and make sure you're using a *different* pidfile for each instance of lircd.

[03:54:00] Johnny_Quest: i do alot of video editing/stealing on windows tho
[03:54:00] gnarface: abarbaccia: make sure you name your /dev/lircd devices differently too
[03:54:00] Johnny_Quest: its not the best quality
[03:54:00] Johnny_Quest: but its the easiest
[03:55:00] Johnny_Quest: and on my amd 64 takes 15 minutes tops to rip and compress
[03:55:00] abarbaccia: gnarface, im gonna specify each file specifically, then test them individually, if they both work seperate- together is a small problem to conquer
[03:55:00] abarbaccia: thanks for all the help!
[03:55:00] abarbaccia: goodnite all
[03:55:00] Johnny_Quest: and if you have nero, it will burn it too

[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: but thats what they tell me..
[04:04:00] reel: Johnny_Quest: no idea. but it never changes even if i wait a day
[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: o wow
[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: that sux
[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: did you ask for a static ip?
[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: cuz you can run servers with that..
[04:04:00] Johnny_Quest: ususaly you have to pay more for that
[04:04:00] reel: iggy: yeah, that sounds like the fancy way. my hosts.allow is still pretty limited
[04:04:00] timbus: hey guys, sorry if this is a dumb question. I justed installed knoppmyth, the first time it booted it ran thru its code and asked for my username, but then it just sits there with (username)@mythtv:~$. how do i get it to boot?
[04:05:00] reel: Johnny_Quest: nope, i actually asked them to make it more dynamic so i could get a new IP but they said the only way they'd do that is if I paid for a static
[04:05:00] Johnny_Quest: reel, can you access the link through another source?

[04:34:00] cortezdapimp: heyo
[04:34:00] cortezdapimp: i use it, its cool. no s-video input yet though.
[04:34:00] ** SarahEmm has a 500 which is just two -150s on a card **
[04:35:00] SarahEmm: picture quality looks great to me
[04:35:00] cortezdapimp: also it seems like the colors are a bit saturated or something, might be my nvidia tv-out though.
[04:35:00] cortezdapimp: (havent tested it with a dvd or anything
[04:35:00] Mdog: does anybody here have a remote working with fedora core 3?
[04:36:00] cortezdapimp: my question is about mythstreamtv
[04:36:00] cortezdapimp: anyone use it?
[04:36:00] Ray_: From what I have been reading via googling alot of people are complaining that the picture quality is not that great? Does anyone know how it compares to the 250 and 350 models?
[04:36:00] cortezdapimp: i think it depends which ivtv version you are using
[04:36:00] cortezdapimp: it used to be a lot worse than it is now
[04:37:00] sphing|food: anyone know how much cpu usage dd uses?
[04:37:00] cortezdapimp: for the record i use the stable branch version that has 150 support – 0.2.0-rc3 i believe

[04:40:00] Ray_: cortezdapimp: How does the picture quality compare on the tv with using a mythtv box and your regular cable quality?
[04:40:00] SarahEmm: sphing: almost none other than what it sucks up for I/O
[04:40:00] cortezdapimp: my regular cable already kinda sucks cuz they overcompress everything

[04:41:00] sphing: SarahEmm: that look weird?
[04:41:00] SarahEmm: no
[04:41:00] SarahEmm: D means it's waiting on I/O
[04:41:00] cortezdapimp: actually i change my mind – it looks great when i look at stuff over the network
[04:41:00] SarahEmm: dd spends almost all its time in that likely
[04:41:00] sphing: its been like that for about 2 hours
[04:42:00] sphing: why are there brackets around it...
[04:42:00] sphing: SarahEmm: and i got a kswap error with some kernel debugging output

[05:51:00] JohnnyQuest: they have the same items as cc for more often
[05:51:00] mchou: the BB pricematch policy with a gazillion loopholes.
[05:51:00] Ray_: mchou: I actually have never tried to get BB to pricematch... because I always go to other places to pricematch BBs prices :-P
[05:51:00] mchou: (we only pricematch when we feel like it)
[05:52:00] mchou: oh, and you can cash the rebate checks from costco at costco :)
[05:53:00] mchou: that's driving customer loyalty :)

[06:14:00] levander: I'm trying to figure out if my dual PIII-550 with 512 MB RAM is going to be fast enough to run Myth on (after adding hadware encoding/decoding cards).
[06:14:00] Mdog: just in case any bots are watching, I installed the patch given here http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#lirc and I now have a working irw
[06:15:00] Mdog: but myth still doesn't see my keypresses...but irw is 90 percent of the battle from what I'm reading
[06:15:00] _tester_ (~yz@216.238.204.49) Quit (Success)
[06:15:00] levander: That will be fast enough to use it as Myth box and occasionally as a workstation?
[06:15:00] ottago: levander: It is even without hardware encoding boards. I use a PIII 600 without too much trouble.
[06:16:00] levander: ottago: you use it both for regular computer stuff (like X-Windows) as well as myth?
[06:16:00] levander: ottago: and what you mean too much trouble?
[06:17:00] ottago: levander: I don't use it as a work station as well. Its a dedicated Myth box
[06:17:00] rpete: sure levander, presumably you won't be hardware decoding while running a word processor, and dual PIII means you can do anything at all while hardware encoding
[06:17:00] ottago: levander: the trouble is the single processor just isn't fast enough to play and record at the same time. It becomes a little jumpy.
[06:18:00] levander: but my system is even slow now when I'm loading applications, like FF. It takes maybe five seconds to start FF. But that's really the only way my system feels too slow.
[06:18:00] timbus: can you play backed up dvds on a tv with a hauppage 150 or 250? or do you need the TV out that is in the 350?

[06:18:00] levander: no myth
[06:21:00] levander: ottago: oh, i see, would be kind of annoying to make sure you not watching and encoding at same time...

[06:26:00] tuxristo: i too wonder if the snapstream is better than the ati

[07:01:00] Ray_: hmm... I was wondering because I have at least 6 tvs I am thinking about putting a frontend too
[07:02:00] darkfire: well, if and when i get a house, i fully intend to have a house server that will be the master backend, and having a frontend for every need.
[07:03:00] darkfire: ...i also intend to own many sports cars, knowing that is about as helpful as knowing the other, i suppose.
[07:03:00] Ray_: The biggest problem I have come to right now is dealing with network bandwidth.. having 11 computers running on a network in the house sucks up all the bandwidth it seems now..

[07:04:00] darkfire: Ray_, could always go for gigabit
[07:05:00] Ray_: true... but a 16 port switch is like $200 the last time I checked
[07:05:00] darkfire: that is the downside.
[07:06:00] Ray_: also don't have that type of cash to lay down... it's one thing to use all of the space components for front ends... but upgrading the whole network is too costly...

[07:10:00] Ray_: hmm... I wonder if having dual nics in the backend.. and a private network inside of the main network where the backend is the only system that connects to the main network...
[07:10:00] Ray_: would provide all of the bandwidth
[07:10:00] darkfire: that should do the trick nicely, i'd bet.
[07:11:00] darkfire: i mean, the only bandwidth myth will use is one video stream per frontend
[07:11:00] Ray_: with 6 front ends... I would think that it would easily suck up alot of bandwidth... especially with all of them going at the same time
[07:12:00] travolta: all 6 at the same time?
[07:12:00] sarah_yarr_away: are you going to be using all 6 TVs at once?

[07:12:00] Ray_: yeah... 7 people in the house...
[07:12:00] SarahEmm: ahh.
[07:12:00] SarahEmm: then you need a beefy backend and gig-e
[07:12:00] SarahEmm: :)
[07:13:00] Ray_: I am starting to think 2 backends would be better...
[07:13:00] Ray_: but tied together though...
[07:14:00] darkfire: i think there'd be more cost-benifit bonus to biting the bullet and going gig-e

[07:14:00] Cardoe (~Cardoe@Cardoe.developer.gentoo) has joined #mythtv-users
[07:14:00] darkfire: the problem is not enough bandwidth, using more nics/servers is just a band-aid.
[07:14:00] SarahEmm: gig-e isn't that expensive.
[07:16:00] rjune: wait, you're gonna tell me that you can't stream to 7 tvs at once on 100Mbit?
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: hmmm
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: lemme check
[07:16:00] Ray_: I was thinking of dual backends since just one backend with 6 front ends might put to much strain on the harddrives, etc...
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: according to MRTG i use about 2Mbps streaming for each frontend
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: so 6 should be fine on faste
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: i'd still go gig-e to be safe myself.
[07:16:00] SarahEmm: but i'm overcautious that way
[07:17:00] SarahEmm: ray: you'd still be potentially pulling shows from one disk
[07:17:00] SarahEmm: you'd likely want a RAID with a few drives in it at least

[07:18:00] Ray_: mchou: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4094232?site . . . MAIN_RSLT_PG That is what I would have to get at minium
[07:18:00] SarahEmm: mchou: no, but some on-mobo NICs are bypassing PCI and going right into the north bridge now
[07:18:00] SarahEmm: or you could go PCI-X ;)
[07:19:00] mchou: Ray_: nah. I dont see why you need 16 ports. just get 2 of the first link I mentioned earlier.....
[07:20:00] mchou: $180<<$300
[07:20:00] Ray_: true
[07:21:00] darkfire: man, i dont know near enough about networking.
[07:21:00] darkfire: wouldnt 2 switches bottleneck at the connection between the switches?
[07:21:00] SarahEmm: could
[07:21:00] SarahEmm: yes
[07:21:00] Ray_: at gigbyte speeds with heavy congestion... You Bet ya!
[07:21:00] SarahEmm: unless you run 20 fast-e ports uplinked between switches with a dual-gig etherchannel or such :)
[07:22:00] darkfire: SarahEmm, now you're just trying to confuse me :-p
[07:22:00] mchou: gbE is way overkill for Ray_ anyways :)

[07:26:00] rjune: be lazy, use wifi
[07:27:00] Ray_: 802.11g is not enough bandwidth for two laptops streaming video off of it
[07:27:00] SarahEmm: gigabit not byte

[07:35:00] twisted_one: they dont
[07:35:00] Ray_: for the house I'm at it isn't... with two laptops going at once there is a constant drop of signal, etc...
[07:35:00] twisted_one: their computers blow up and kill them
[07:35:00] twisted_one: that would be caused by your router then, just be thankful it didnt blow up and kill you
[07:36:00] twisted_one: =P
[07:36:00] Ray_: signal... aka connection drop
[07:36:00] twisted_one: Ray_: thats not due to a bandwith limitation
[07:36:00] rjune: twisted_one: sure they do.
[07:36:00] twisted_one: rjune: I was being silly =P
[07:37:00] rjune: Ray_: that's shitty signal, which may cause low bandwith. 802.11G is cabable of 54Mb, with some implemenation up to 108Mb. More than enough for two laptops

[07:37:00] rjune: mimo?
[07:37:00] Ray_: it's theoretical is 54Mb... it's actual is more like 30Mb at max and that is at a very good signal...
[07:37:00] twisted_one: Somethine like that
[07:38:00] twisted_one: basically it connects on 4 channels
[07:38:00] drkdreamin: rjune, most in most out.
[07:38:00] rjune: twisted_one: Ahhh, yeah I know what you're takling about
[07:38:00] SarahEmm: rjune: taking advantage of multipath to gain extra bandwidth instead of losing it
[07:38:00] drkdreamin: heh, but seriously, going to bed.
[07:38:00] twisted_one: Linksys just came out with a decent router with it, its got like 4 antennas, think looks redicilous
[07:38:00] rjune: Ray_: what hardware are you using? I've got a proxim WAP that will consistantly connect at hte other end of my house @ high 40s
[07:38:00] Ray_: mimo is just a wacked version of 802.11n... they call it mimo because the 802.11n spec is not done and they would get sued for using the spec designation name
[07:39:00] rjune: and the WAPs at my library do the same all over.

[07:41:00] Lews: Would a Sempron 2400+ be good enough to encode and watch video at the same time? Or would I need a card with an MPEG-2 encoder on it?

[07:52:00] rjune: SarahEmm: you got any old alphas or NeXT stations?
[07:52:00] rjune: twisted_one: I get enough useless mail, I don't need more
[07:52:00] twisted_one: alphas.... dr00l
[07:52:00] twisted_one: rjune: exactly
[07:52:00] rjune: twisted_one: I got an old 366 around here. needs RAM and a hard drive IIRC
[07:52:00] Ray_: SarahEmm: just one question... why>
[07:52:00] Ray_: *?
[07:53:00] twisted_one: Ray_: geek points, duh
[07:53:00] xris: SarahEmm is obviously a geek
[07:53:00] rjune: twisted_one: don't get too excited though, they ain't so fast anymore
[07:53:00] twisted_one: rjune: oh I know
[07:53:00] SarahEmm: ray: why? because i'm a geek, i like retrocomputing gear and electronics, and old machines are a challenge
[07:53:00] twisted_one: but the chip itself was a peice of art
[07:53:00] rjune: SarahEmm: sympatico is an ISP, right?
[07:53:00] SarahEmm: it's a challenge to get them up and running, to keep them running..
[07:53:00] SarahEmm: and i like being able to diagnose problems with a scope and a cheap logic analyzer.
[07:53:00] rjune: twisted_one: yeah, two LUGs attached directly to the chip. that's sweet
[07:54:00] SarahEmm: fix a tape drive with a voltmeter and a scope to find a logic issue.
[07:54:00] twisted_one: rjune: exactly
[07:54:00] SarahEmm: rjune: yeah, it's Bell here.
[07:54:00] twisted_one: rjune: I love how they still tote the alpha designers around hoping they strike gold again
[07:54:00] SarahEmm: the PSUs are all either linear or discrete component switchers.. easy to fix :)
[07:54:00] rjune: twisted_one: from what I understand they did. as I understand it, most of the alpha guys went to AMD and developed the opteron
[07:54:00] ** SarahEmm is weird. **
[07:55:00] rjune: yeah, but we love you anyway
[07:55:00] twisted_one: rjune: hrmm, I think intel actually has alot
[07:55:00] SarahEmm: yay! thankyou rjune
[07:55:00] twisted_one: but if they did the opteron, then yes, they did.
[07:55:00] twisted_one: I wish I could find a geek girl around here =P
[07:55:00] Ray_: 2/3 of them went to AMD... intel got the left overs
[07:55:00] rjune: twisted_one: I said think. its the rumour I heard. and it accounts for why AMD suddenly had this amazing 64-bit proc
[07:55:00] rjune: twisted_one: move to .ca
[07:56:00] twisted_one: rjune: working on it =P
[07:56:00] SarahEmm: are geek grrls more plentiful in .ca?
[07:56:00] rjune: SarahEmm: naaa, he just wants to live with you
[07:56:00] twisted_one: lol
[07:56:00] SarahEmm: lol
[07:56:00] Ray_: they certantly are not on the East coast
[07:56:00] SarahEmm: something tells me twisted_one is more likely looking for a straight geek grrl tho....
[07:56:00] twisted_one: nor in the corn fields
[07:56:00] xris: lol
[07:56:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: Im not picky
[07:56:00] twisted_one: =P
[07:56:00] SarahEmm: lol
[07:56:00] rjune: SarahEmm: not as long as he can watch, and sometimes join in
[07:56:00] twisted_one: lol
[07:57:00] twisted_one: now kids, behave
[07:57:00] twisted_one: I'm a good boy
[07:57:00] rjune: twisted_one: WI? you're not too far from me
[07:57:00] twisted_one: rjune: lol
[07:57:00] rjune: twisted_one: that's what they all say
[07:57:00] twisted_one: not normally
[07:57:00] twisted_one: im in wi on vacation
[07:57:00] xris: so as long as your gf is bi, it's ok...
[07:57:00] twisted_one: rjune: where abouts in wi?
[07:57:00] rjune: twisted_one: where are you from?
[07:57:00] rjune: I'm in IN
[07:57:00] twisted_one: no shit
[07:57:00] twisted_one: where?
[07:57:00] rjune: ayup
[07:57:00] twisted_one: ayup?
[07:57:00] rjune: Northern, by South Bend
[07:57:00] twisted_one: ah
[07:57:00] SarahEmm: xris: she is, but.. that's not the point :P
[07:57:00] twisted_one: Im a student at Purdue
[07:57:00] rjune: lucky you
[07:57:00] twisted_one: Im from joliet, IL
[07:57:00] rjune: I flunked out twice
[07:57:00] twisted_one: rjune: how do you figure?
[07:58:00] twisted_one: lol
[07:58:00] twisted_one: rjune: I guess im on number 1 right now =P
[07:58:00] twisted_one: well it was actually a lack of money grades were decent =\
[07:58:00] xris: SarahEmm: of course. I was just filling in for them. personally, I don't care. I married a geek girl who turned into a pastry chef.
[07:58:00] twisted_one: xris: hrmm I have a good friend doing that exact same thing... how odd =P
[07:58:00] SarahEmm: :)
[07:59:00] ** SarahEmm is staying a geek grrl for now. **
[07:59:00] twisted_one: rjune: you went to purdue?
[07:59:00] xris: twisted_one: marring a geek girl, or turning into a chef?
[07:59:00] twisted_one: turning into a chef
[07:59:00] twisted_one: and marrying a geek girl actually
[07:59:00] ** xris will turn into a vintner someday. **
[08:01:00] twisted_one: vinter? <--- yet again me showing my stupidity
[08:01:00] xris: twisted_one: wine maker.
[08:01:00] xris: but in my case: meadbrewer.com
[08:01:00] rjune: twisted_one: yup I did
[08:02:00] twisted_one: xris: ah, actually thats what I was thinking
[08:02:00] twisted_one: rjune: what was your major?
[08:02:00] rjune: CE the first time, CS the second

[08:03:00] twisted_one: I was actually just there over the weekend, had to go and do some work there.
[08:03:00] rjune: I was in the Quad, talk about dinky rooms
[08:03:00] Ray_: Well I'm off... Have a good night folks
[08:03:00] twisted_one: I was doing some research while there and they needed my help
[08:03:00] Ray_ (~Ray@pcp204739pcs.vineln01.nj.comcast.net) has left #mythtv-users
[08:03:00] twisted_one: rjune: funny, the quad is now becoming the place to live, they are completely redoing the interior and they are fairly large now
[08:03:00] twisted_one: rjune: I was in Tark for 2 years
[08:04:00] rjune: twisted_one: really? we had an 8 x 14 room for two people
[08:04:00] twisted_one: rjune: they are combining two of those rooms and making it for 3 now IIRC
[08:04:00] rjune: some friends of ours had the badass rooms, 20x30 with bath
[08:04:00] twisted_one: yeah, thats what they are doing now
[08:04:00] twisted_one: rjune: how long ago were you there?
[08:04:00] rjune: 2 years
[08:04:00] rjune: well, quad for one year
[08:04:00] rjune: I lived off campus the other year
[08:04:00] twisted_one: long ago =P
[08:05:00] rjune: oh, how long ago... Uhm 96
[08:05:00] twisted_one: oh
[08:05:00] twisted_one: nm then =P
[08:05:00] rjune: 8 years or so
[08:05:00] twisted_one: yeah, Im a youngin

[08:12:00] SarahEmm: hush?

[08:12:00] twisted_one: Girl, unix, hardware...
[08:12:00] twisted_one: almost perfect =\
[08:12:00] twisted_one: right age too
[08:13:00] xris: twisted_one: except for the "isn't into guys" part...
[08:13:00] twisted_one: exactly
[08:13:00] twisted_one: lol
[08:13:00] twisted_one: oh well
[08:13:00] xris: "not single" is probably an issue, too. heh.
[08:13:00] twisted_one: I think im going to die single, its my fate
[08:13:00] SarahEmm: xris: not really.
[08:13:00] twisted_one: xris: that can always be worked around =P
[08:13:00] SarahEmm: <-- poly grrl
[08:13:00] twisted_one: heh
[08:14:00] xris: SarahEmm: you're giving him too much hope.  ;)
[08:14:00] xris: twisted_one: you're too young to worry about such things.
[08:14:00] twisted_one: meh, Id actually prefer an exclusive relationship
[08:14:00] ** SarahEmm nods **
[08:14:00] twisted_one: xris: meh, im 30 emotionally
[08:14:00] twisted_one: xris: sick of youngins and their stupidity
[08:14:00] xris: twisted_one: I was pretty much like that at your age.
[08:15:00] xris: met my wife at 23, we were (are) a perfect match.
[08:15:00] twisted_one: xris: thats good to hear
[08:15:00] twisted_one: =)
[08:15:00] rpete: well, I recommend church
[08:15:00] twisted_one: wtf
[08:15:00] twisted_one: no
[08:15:00] ** xris did yahoo, but wouldn't recommend it anymore. **
[08:15:00] twisted_one: sorry, but church and I usually result in arson charges =P
[08:15:00] xris: church only works if you're into that kind of thing.
[08:15:00] rjune: twisted_one: take a nursing class
[08:16:00] rpete: alright then, AA meeetings
[08:16:00] rjune: when I was @ purdue, I met my g/f in German.
[08:16:00] rpete: sheesh, where would you rather meet your mate
[08:16:00] twisted_one: german, bah, I want to learn so badly
[08:16:00] rjune: Chem had some nice girls too
[08:16:00] xris: both my wife and I are PK's (preacher's kids), but neither of us is into the religion thing (unless you consider my MA in south asian religious anthro)... church definitely wouldn't have worked well.
[08:16:00] twisted_one: rjune: omfg, organic chem is full of them!!!
[08:17:00] Cardoe: I met mine in Air Force ROTC.
[08:17:00] rjune: twisted_one: yeah, haven't you heard the nickname orgasmic chem?
[08:17:00] rjune: Cardoe: @ purdue?
[08:17:00] twisted_one: rjune: yes, of course I have
[08:17:00] Cardoe: University of Florida
[08:17:00] ** rpete sticks to church recommendation, you can always teach them new tricks **
[08:17:00] rjune: phew, I was scared for a moment
[08:17:00] twisted_one: rpete: I seriously cannot stand churchies, well not the average ones anyways
[08:17:00] rpete: fine, unitarian
[08:17:00] rjune: my wife's then husband introduced us.
[08:18:00] twisted_one: rjune: I have a big issue with purdue women being that many of them are stupid and conservative and thats definatly not me.
[08:18:00] xris: rpete: I have a friend who's gone through 3–4 women met through church.. they all keep giving him the "not interested in dating anyone" thing (which is mostly true, except for the one who eloped a couple of weeks later)
[08:18:00] twisted_one: rpete: heh, unitarians are definatly tolerable =)
[08:18:00] rjune: twisted_one: Uhm, purdue is an engineering school.
[08:18:00] rjune: many of hte women there are looking for MRS degrees
[08:18:00] twisted_one: rjune: and Im an engineering student
[08:18:00] twisted_one: meh not that many
[08:18:00] rpete: well, whatever, I met my wife in high school physics class so I'm not really qualified to give any sort of advice
[08:19:00] Cardoe: we have evil Baptists.
[08:19:00] twisted_one: most of them are not engineering majors
[08:19:00] rjune: twisted_one: yeah, meaning you need a liberal arts class
[08:19:00] twisted_one: rjune: ah, yes
[08:19:00] twisted_one: rjune: there still ist the whole stupid factor
[08:19:00] ** xris had accordian-playing baptists in college. **
[08:19:00] rjune: twisted_one: I went there remember, I know how this works
[08:19:00] twisted_one: rjune: lol, yes
[08:19:00] xris: standing on the street corner telling us we'd all go to hell.
[08:19:00] Cardoe: Engineering sucks for dating.
[08:19:00] Cardoe: seriously.
[08:19:00] xris: (no "if" — just that we were)
[08:19:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: yep
[08:19:00] Cardoe: I had more girls in ROTC then in my classes.
[08:20:00] Cardoe: but my gf was the hot one that all the guys wished wasn't the Baptist prude.
[08:20:00] twisted_one: xris: heh, we have people coming out with posters of piles of meat preaching about how bad abortion is
[08:20:00] rjune: twisted_one: serious, take the mid-level classes, that'll weed out all the stupid ones
[08:20:00] twisted_one: rjune: meh, not that sort of stupid, Im a fairly liberal and they are usually extremely conservative and bleh, cant stand it.
[08:20:00] rjune: twisted_one: which is the girls dorm that's really old?
[08:20:00] ** xris would rather have posters of meat preaching about how bad meat is... **
[08:21:00] Cardoe: they have girls only dorms still?
[08:21:00] twisted_one: rjune: Hrmm the three of halls together, cant remember
[08:21:00] rjune: twisted_one: dunno where you met your girls.
[08:21:00] twisted_one: xris: lol
[08:21:00] twisted_one: brb
[08:21:00] rjune: Cardoe: purdue is still segregated. even the mixed dorms have two wings
[08:21:00] rjune: xris: meat is great
[08:21:00] Cardoe: We had 1 girls dorm that was just this past year changed.

[08:23:00] Lews: Sort of a random question, but does anybody here know a good way to hook up 20–30 speakers to the same audio input, coming from a PC?
[08:23:00] twisted_one: bleh, im sitting at LAN party chatting on IRC... lol
[08:24:00] xris: rjune: not for me. would make me horribly sicl
[08:24:00] xris: sick, even
[08:24:00] twisted_one: Lews: amp would most likely be needed
[08:24:00] rjune: xris: ?
[08:24:00] Lews: twisted_one: Really? You can't just duplicate the signal somehow?
[08:24:00] twisted_one: Lews: get a decent receiever and then just splice out of it?
[08:24:00] Lews: twisted_one: (I'm completely new to audio stuff)
[08:24:00] twisted_one: Lews: I dont know, just guessing
[08:24:00] twisted_one: Lews: im about 3% ahead of you =P
[08:25:00] Lews: twisted_one: lol

[08:25:00] twisted_one: Lews: most likely want to just get an amp then
[08:25:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: yes, they are
[08:25:00] Lews: twisted_one: k
[08:25:00] xris: so other than the fact that I think meat smells/tastes/feels nasty, it'd make me really sick (I know, I've accidentally eaten meat before).
[08:25:00] rjune: xris: we had a nice roast today. great stuff
[08:25:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: only to be topped by GMC

[08:26:00] Lews: twisted_one: er, where would I get something like that? Is there a newegg for audio stuff?

[08:32:00] rjune: the kind that'll fuck you silly, then wake you up in the morning and do it some more.
[08:32:00] twisted_one: meh
[08:32:00] twisted_one: rjune: meh, im actually more interested in a serious relationship than just the sex
[08:32:00] rjune: xris: I dunno, got pics of your wife?
[08:32:00] xris: rjune: I have a friend with a friend like that. he quickly tires of her stupidity.
[08:32:00] xris: rjune: that's a canned response....
[08:33:00] twisted_one: rpete: meh, I prefer some others like Jewel Staites (i think thats how its spelled)
[08:33:00] rjune: xris, twisted_one : the smart ones'll do it to you so bad you can't walk.
[08:33:00] rjune: xris: I know. I'm married too.
[08:33:00] rpete: okay, fine, blonde is the hottest
[08:33:00] Cardoe: dumb girls... helping diversify the gene pool.....
[08:33:00] rjune: and my wife is like I just discribed.
[08:33:00] xris: rjune: the smart ones wouldn't date my friend — he's over 60, and unattractive (but with lots of $$)
[08:34:00] xris: rpete: not big on blondes (blonde + blonde is a little much)... though my wife is probably close enough to blonde for me to shut up.
[08:34:00] rjune: xris: uhm.... depends on what they're looking for
[08:34:00] rjune: is he smart too?
[08:34:00] rjune: redheads Mmmmm
[08:34:00] twisted_one: Meh, Im kidna stuck on a girl right now so I sabotage any relationship I get into anyways =\
[08:34:00] twisted_one: rjune: redheads, definatly
[08:35:00] xris: rjune: he's an arrogant, chauvinis, actually.
[08:35:00] xris: chauvinist
[08:35:00] ** rpete was just agreeing with twisted_one, redheads definitely **
[08:35:00] twisted_one: xris: do you know the meaning of the term chauvinist?
[08:35:00] xris: redhead, or latin....
[08:35:00] rpete: they're all good
[08:35:00] kormoc: redheads rock
[08:35:00] kormoc: tho slightly crazy
[08:35:00] twisted_one: lol
[08:36:00] twisted_one: I prefer the pale skinned irish ones
[08:36:00] kormoc: for large values of slightly
[08:36:00] twisted_one: irish accent = hawt
[08:36:00] xris: twisted_one: looking on wikipedia, it sounds about right.
[08:36:00] twisted_one: kormoc: definatly
[08:36:00] xris: poor kormoc with his crazy redhead roommate

[08:38:00] mchou: twisted_one: haha!!
[08:38:00] Cardoe: you know what the problem is with arguing with a woman is.
[08:38:00] Cardoe: Men have the need to make sense.
[08:38:00] kormoc: All I want is a nice sane geek gal, is that too much to ask? :P
[08:38:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: i'm tempted to agree.
[08:38:00] twisted_one: kormoc: dont forget straight geek gal =P
[08:38:00] SarahEmm: lol
[08:38:00] twisted_one: =)

[08:46:00] twisted_one: kormoc: I feel that Im the only one around who is
[08:46:00] kormoc: nah, there's more then just you
[08:46:00] twisted_one: kormoc: how old are you?

[08:46:00] twisted_one: ah

[08:46:00] twisted_one: then again I pretty mcuh cant stand my peers
[08:47:00] kormoc: and not cause I'm not tring
[08:47:00] twisted_one: oh, here is one that kills many potential girls
[08:47:00] twisted_one: they have to respect themselves... aka no drugs (including alcohol)
[08:47:00] kormoc: ahh, I'm fine with a little alcohol here and there and a random cigar or something
[08:47:00] SarahEmm: <-- no drugs or alcohol :P
[08:47:00] kormoc: cause I enjoy them myself.
[08:48:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: seriously, stop, you're making me sad.
[08:48:00] kormoc: every once in awhile, it's nice to kick back with a nice cigar and let it go
[08:48:00] twisted_one: kormoc: meh, if its truly occasional its ok, but not to the point of losing ones sobriety
[08:48:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: heh, sowwy. i'm also poly and autistic which are probably negatives in your book
[08:48:00] kormoc: twisted_one, I get tispy maybe every 2 months or so, nothing major at all.
[08:48:00] Cardoe: Alcohol... getting people laid for over a century.
[08:48:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: autistic... damn, such an intriging attribute
[08:49:00] kormoc: autistic? meh, that's not a negative
[08:49:00] twisted_one: kormoc: that would be acceptable
[08:49:00] twisted_one: definatly not a negative
[08:49:00] kormoc: poly on the other hand, I can't really do, it's just not right for myself.
[08:49:00] SarahEmm: depends who you ask
[08:49:00] SarahEmm: i suppose
[08:49:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: why poly?
[08:49:00] twisted_one: if you dont mind me asking
[08:49:00] SarahEmm: err, why am i poly you mean?
[08:49:00] SarahEmm: (intriguing attribute? huh?)
[08:50:00] twisted_one: yes
[08:51:00] twisted_one: not quite, just wondering what makes one want to be with many
[08:51:00] twisted_one: curious perhaps, but not intriguing (spelling?)
[08:51:00] SarahEmm: err... it's just how i am, really. if i'm in a relationship and end up falling in love with someone else... i don't feel that hiding that or ignoring it is right for me, i suppose.
[08:51:00] kormoc: Well, honestly
[08:51:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: okay... i dunno.
[08:51:00] kormoc: I can understand the pysical want to be polly
[08:51:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: i don't see it like that i suppose
[08:51:00] SarahEmm: physical want?
[08:52:00] kormoc: but like, I just can't be emotionally attached to more then one person
[08:52:00] kormoc: sure, I like the female body a lot, two would be twice the pysical fun
[08:52:00] kormoc: but sex is also emotional to myself
[08:52:00] kormoc: and I only feel right emotionally attached to one person
[08:52:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: I guess if I had feelings for another I would question weather or not my current relationship was the right one then, but not enter into two simultaneously
[08:53:00] SarahEmm: okay... i feel differently *shrug* to each their own :)
[08:53:00] gnarface: yea.
[08:53:00] gnarface: me for example
[08:53:00] gnarface: i'm marrying my nintendo
[08:53:00] ** gnarface high-5 SarahEmm **
[08:53:00] kormoc: gnarface, remember to practice safe sex, don't want to short it out!
[08:53:00] gnarface: hahaha
[08:54:00] gnarface: it would be like in cherry-2000
[08:54:00] Cardoe: Imagine getting found like that.
[08:54:00] twisted_one: lol
[08:54:00] gnarface: i'd have to take up a bounty hunting again
[08:54:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: with your nintendo?
[08:54:00] twisted_one: yes
[08:54:00] twisted_one: Id be with my SNES though
[08:54:00] gnarface: now there was a sexy console
[08:54:00] twisted_one: and it had the best game evar!
[08:55:00] gnarface: secret of mana?
[08:55:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: i'm still curious.. how is it intriguing?
[08:55:00] ** SarahEmm doesn't understand this isuppose **
[08:55:00] twisted_one: autism?
[08:55:00] SarahEmm: nod
[08:56:00] twisted_one: hrmm
[08:56:00] twisted_one: I dont know a whole lot about it
[08:56:00] twisted_one: but well
[08:56:00] twisted_one: from waht I do know the way the autistic mind works is on a different level
[08:57:00] ** Cardoe ponders buying a cuecat to help catalog his DVDs. **
[08:57:00] twisted_one: or perhaps in a slightly differnt manner
[08:57:00] twisted_one: I guess its partially a hollywood influenced understanding
[08:57:00] SarahEmm: i'd say a different manner...
[08:57:00] SarahEmm: heh...
[08:58:00] twisted_one: but still
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: i'm not sure what hollywood influences are really...
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: *shruG*
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: i dunno, being inside it i guess i fail to see the intrigue :)
[08:58:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: never seen a movie?
[08:58:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: of course you would, its the everyday for you.
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: lol
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: yes, i've seen movies
[08:58:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: yep.
[08:58:00] gnarface: now imagine seeing a lot more of them
[08:58:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, I look at it this way, you're smart, carasmatic, witty, etc, even with a little bit (or more) of hardship, and that makes you more intresting cause you overcame some tough problems.
[08:58:00] gnarface: like, *alot*
[08:58:00] gnarface: that's what its like
[08:59:00] twisted_one: kormoc: thats a very good way of putting it
[08:59:00] twisted_one: gnarface: exactly!
[08:59:00] twisted_one: =p
[09:00:00] SarahEmm: ahh.. :)
[09:00:00] twisted_one: Im addicted to movies
[09:00:00] SarahEmm: overcame? heh
[09:00:00] twisted_one: speaking of which, time to download
[09:00:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: learned to manage with =P
[09:00:00] gnarface: anime anime anime
[09:00:00] SarahEmm: yeah..
[09:01:00] twisted_one: gnarface: lol, thats what I was speaking of
[09:01:00] twisted_one: gnarface: have you seen Miyazaki's new film, Howls Moving Castle?
[09:01:00] SarahEmm: most people don't seem to see it like that i suppose.
[09:02:00] SarahEmm: it's different irl too i guess.
[09:02:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: you like anime too?

[09:04:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:04:00] SarahEmm: thankyou :)
[09:04:00] twisted_one: nah, honesty is more important than making me feel better =P
[09:05:00] gnarface: twisted_one: havn't seen it yet. i hear its yet another masterpiece
[09:06:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: heh, okay.
[09:06:00] SarahEmm: i'm... sorry i'm what a lot of geeks seem to like?

[09:07:00] gnarface: SarahEmm: i havn't been reading much of this, but he's probably right.
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: err, what?
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: right about what?
[09:08:00] twisted_one: about you being what geeks desire
[09:08:00] gnarface: yea.
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: oh.
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: mew..
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: heh
[09:08:00] SarahEmm: not :P
[09:08:00] gnarface: please. you can't honestly be that suprised. how many chicks do you know who'd be here in IRC at this time of night?
[09:09:00] gnarface: you've gotta be a rare character.
[09:09:00] gnarface: rarity adds value.
[09:09:00] gnarface: duh. :P
[09:09:00] twisted_one: heh
[09:09:00] twisted_one: tr00
[09:09:00] SarahEmm: heh
[09:09:00] SarahEmm: i'm going onto night shifts
[09:09:00] SarahEmm: hence me being up at this time of night :)
[09:10:00] SarahEmm: and i was coding, so i'm hanging around IRC :)
[09:10:00] twisted_one: I fail to see the logic =P
[09:12:00] SarahEmm: in what?
[09:12:00] Cardoe: so apparently it's hit on SarahEmm day
[09:13:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: I was joking
[09:13:00] twisted_one: I guess I suck at making that obvious
[09:13:00] SarahEmm: oh, okay. heh.
[09:13:00] SarahEmm: Cardoe: lol/
[09:13:00] twisted_one: I wouldnt quite think Im hitting on her
[09:13:00] twisted_one: =P
[09:13:00] ** SarahEmm would agree **
[09:13:00] twisted_one: and heck, not like the outcome would be succesful anyways =P
[09:14:00] twisted_one: I mean, shes not straight and I suck at girls =P
[09:15:00] SarahEmm: heh. mew.
[09:15:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: why not generalize and say you suck at life in general?
[09:16:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: you just love to kick em while they are down, eh?
[09:16:00] Cardoe: it is easier is it not?
[09:16:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: because I actually dont suck at life, thats why =p
[09:16:00] Cardoe: sure ya do
[09:16:00] Cardoe: since females are the source of life.
[09:16:00] twisted_one: I actually think Im pretty far ahead of the pack (at least in my age range)
[09:17:00] Cardoe: nope.
[09:17:00] Cardoe: failure.
[09:17:00] Cardoe: go in your corner and cry
[09:17:00] gnarface: hahaha
[09:17:00] SarahEmm: twisted_one: life-wise?
[09:17:00] ** twisted_one scampers off **

[09:17:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: yes
[09:17:00] SarahEmm: ahh. yay!
[09:17:00] SarahEmm: :o)
[09:18:00] twisted_one: indeed
[09:18:00] twisted_one: I know Im a great guy and any girl would be lucky to have me
[09:18:00] twisted_one: but alas they just dont see it that way =P
[09:18:00] SarahEmm: heh...
[09:18:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: Always the problem.
[09:18:00] gnarface: twisted_one: my gamecube tells me that too.
[09:18:00] Cardoe: like my ex-girlfriend doesn't deserve me.
[09:18:00] Cardoe: yet she doesn't know it.
[09:19:00] twisted_one: hrmm, I kinda want a gamecube
[09:19:00] gnarface: they're cheap
[09:19:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: meh, I miss my ex
[09:19:00] Cardoe: she's too shallow right now and if you're a gym guy..
[09:19:00] gnarface: go get one right now
[09:19:00] twisted_one: gnarface: I should
[09:19:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: join that club.
[09:19:00] twisted_one: gnarface: I just want to play like one game though
[09:19:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: It's called I-miss-my-ex-but-hang-out-in-mythtv-users.
[09:19:00] Cardoe: or more like.
[09:19:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: meh, I could have her back if I wanted to, but I know I will just fuck it up again, so its rough.
[09:19:00] Cardoe: I miss my ex so I just screw with Gentoo.
[09:19:00] Cardoe: Even though I hate computers now.
[09:19:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: exactly
[09:19:00] twisted_one: !
[09:19:00] twisted_one: lol, whys that?
[09:20:00] ** Cardoe shrugs. **
[09:20:00] twisted_one: heh
[09:20:00] Cardoe: I just dislike my degree.
[09:20:00] kormoc: twisted_one, just don't do what I do
[09:20:00] twisted_one: bah, that sucks
[09:20:00] Cardoe: I enjoy my stupid college job
[09:20:00] kormoc: *did/still do
[09:20:00] Cardoe: more then I enjoy my work
[09:20:00] Cardoe: that pays the bills.
[09:20:00] twisted_one: kormoc: whatst aht?
[09:20:00] gnarface: 10 repress
[09:20:00] gnarface: 20 deny
[09:20:00] gnarface: 30 goto 10
[09:20:00] gnarface: ?
[09:20:00] kormoc: Fall for a girl who can't make up her mind and leads you on for 3.5 fucking years
[09:20:00] gnarface: is that how it goes?
[09:20:00] twisted_one: kormoc: funny you say that
[09:20:00] Cardoe: I do contract Gentoo work for several hundred dollars for a few hours of work.
[09:20:00] kormoc: just cause you beleive she's something special, more special then anyone else.
[09:21:00] twisted_one: kormoc: im 20 and going on 6 years
[09:21:00] twisted_one: withher
[09:21:00] twisted_one: her*
[09:21:00] fryfrog: maybe it would make you all feel better to see me and my gf's new toy? :)
[09:21:00] Cardoe: And I'd rather just work at my management job at the freaking grocery store.
[09:21:00] kormoc: twisted_one, I moved 3000 miles for her :P
[09:21:00] fryfrog: http://fryfrog.com/gallery/99Miata
[09:21:00] twisted_one: kormoc: I'd do it in an instant
[09:21:00] twisted_one: its sad
[09:21:00] kormoc: twisted_one, I did it, worst mistake ever.
[09:21:00] Cardoe: kormoc: did you kick her in the head?
[09:21:00] gnarface: fryfrog: that didn't even help me a little bit.
[09:22:00] kormoc: Cardoe, of course not, she's too damn wonderful.
[09:22:00] twisted_one: kormoc: I drove 900 to spend the weekon the concrete floor while she chatted online with another guy
[09:22:00] ** kormoc laughs **
[09:22:00] twisted_one: kormoc: yet her and I went out tonight and had a great time
[09:22:00] Cardoe: yeah... that's where you drop kick them.
[09:22:00] Cardoe: Seriously
[09:22:00] kormoc: I flew 3000 files, took two ferries and a 5 hour drive
[09:22:00] Cardoe: you gotta stop being the do-bitch.
[09:22:00] kormoc: and spent a week with ehr and we said 10 words the entire time
[09:22:00] Cardoe: make them appreciate.
[09:22:00] twisted_one: kormoc: honestly, I owuld in an instant
[09:23:00] twisted_one: kormoc: funny same thing here =P
[09:23:00] kormoc: flew back home, and she's played me the entire time.
[09:23:00] Cardoe: That's the problem with being the good guy.
[09:23:00] kormoc: indeed
[09:23:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: exactly
[09:23:00] kormoc: it's no wonder guys turn into jerks
[09:23:00] twisted_one: I refuse to give up
[09:23:00] kormoc: I claimed that once
[09:23:00] twisted_one: I dont know...
[09:23:00] kormoc: claimed it many a time
[09:23:00] Cardoe: kormoc: you gave up?
[09:23:00] twisted_one: I cant give up, I kinda want to
[09:23:00] kormoc: it just will beat you down.
[09:23:00] twisted_one: kormoc: going on six years, I know all about that
[09:23:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: you're 20...
[09:24:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I'm getting a bunch of her friends together to go visit her, it's a 9 hour trip
[09:24:00] kormoc: Cardoe, she told me she didn't want me to go alone with them after I arranged everything.
[09:24:00] twisted_one: hence my inability to get back with my ex, I know I'll just leave her again for this girl I cant get over who treats me like shit and then seduces me to break my heart again
[09:24:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: exactly
[09:24:00] kormoc: I'd say that's as close to a, 'it's time to give the fuck up' as anything will be
[09:24:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: its sad, I have given soo mcuh of my life to her and yet I still get shat upon
[09:25:00] Cardoe: I still kinda think somewhere that she'll come around.
[09:25:00] Cardoe: Her sister and I still talk regularly.
[09:25:00] Cardoe: her parents still ask about me.
[09:25:00] Cardoe: She's going through some odd moments.
[09:25:00] Cardoe: but...
[09:25:00] Cardoe: I'm not letting it hold me back.
[09:25:00] twisted_one: they always are
[09:25:00] Cardoe: I'm seeing someone else.
[09:25:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: I have done that many a time
[09:25:00] Cardoe: And I'll gladly rm -rf Jamie if I get with this new one.
[09:25:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:26:00] Cardoe: See
[09:26:00] Cardoe: the thing is...
[09:26:00] Cardoe: every girl like this...
[09:26:00] Cardoe: has ALL come around
[09:26:00] Cardoe: but too late.
[09:26:00] twisted_one: Im considering moving to Seattle and literally leaving my entire life behind so I can get past her
[09:26:00] kormoc: twisted_one, funny
[09:26:00] kormoc: twisted_one, I moved *to* seattle for her :P
[09:26:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: won't happen
[09:26:00] twisted_one: kormoc: sad is more like it
[09:26:00] twisted_one: kormoc: lol, ah
[09:26:00] Cardoe: you need to be happy with yourself.
[09:26:00] Cardoe: seriously.
[09:26:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: I am
[09:26:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I'm happy with myself too
[09:27:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: we go through periods of not speaking (3 -6 months at a time) and Im fine
[09:27:00] kormoc: but I need to get the fuck away from her to get over her and to be ready to move on.
[09:27:00] twisted_one: but I just cant ignore her
[09:27:00] twisted_one: so I need to drop all lines of communication
[09:27:00] twisted_one: and she still lives like 3 blocks from me
[09:27:00] Cardoe: tough.
[09:27:00] Cardoe: Stop being all talk and do it.
[09:28:00] Cardoe: That's what I'm doing.
[09:28:00] twisted_one: I remember walking over there in the middle of the night to crawl into bed with her... ah the good ol' days
[09:28:00] kormoc: ahh
[09:28:00] Cardoe: See... don't do that.
[09:28:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:28:00] kormoc: I never even got that far
[09:28:00] twisted_one: kormoc: meh, it was completely innocent, we were... 15
[09:28:00] kormoc: meh
[09:28:00] kormoc: doesn't matter
[09:28:00] twisted_one: true
[09:28:00] kormoc: I got to hug her once
[09:28:00] Cardoe: kormoc: you've never shared the same bed?
[09:28:00] kormoc: nope
[09:28:00] twisted_one: eek
[09:28:00] Cardoe: never kissed her?
[09:28:00] kormoc: on the cheek once
[09:28:00] kormoc: she flipped out
[09:29:00] kormoc: she can't make up her mind
[09:29:00] kormoc: cycles hot and cold
[09:29:00] twisted_one: wow
[09:29:00] kormoc: so damn fast
[09:29:00] Cardoe: kormoc: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html
[09:29:00] Cardoe: You're SUPER high up on the friend ladder.
[09:29:00] gnarface: kormoc: eject! eject! eject!
[09:29:00] Cardoe: gnarface: exactly.
[09:29:00] ** SarahEmm mews **
[09:29:00] kormoc: Cardoe, ?
[09:29:00] Cardoe: read it.
[09:29:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html
[09:29:00] Cardoe: read it.
[09:29:00] kormoc: gnarface, meh, she's worth it if it ever happened
[09:29:00] Cardoe: in fact.. all...
[09:30:00] Cardoe: kormoc: it won't
[09:30:00] Cardoe: it would have already
[09:30:00] Cardoe: seriously.
[09:30:00] kormoc: yeah
[09:30:00] gnarface: kormoc: you're so fucking doomed.
[09:30:00] Cardoe: I'm not trying to be an ass.
[09:30:00] kormoc: I've been accepting that face more and more each day
[09:30:00] Cardoe: I'm just trying to help.
[09:30:00] twisted_one: gnarface: you should have your own radio show
[09:30:00] twisted_one: =P
[09:31:00] Cardoe: I just had the crazy ass Baptist.
[09:31:00] Cardoe: who would blind fold me.
[09:31:00] gnarface: haha. i'll take that as a compliment even if its not.
[09:31:00] Cardoe: and make me lay on my hands.
[09:31:00] Cardoe: and then strip naked.
[09:31:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: thats kinda hot
[09:31:00] twisted_one: =P
[09:31:00] Cardoe: and make out with me.
[09:31:00] Cardoe: yeah but I got nothing
[09:31:00] twisted_one: gnarface: definatly is
[09:31:00] tuxristo: i was just reading the backlog ... i always wondered what whould happen if a girl ever showed up in here, ... now i know -> everyone ends up incredibly depressed
[09:31:00] Cardoe: I had to stay dressed.
[09:31:00] twisted_one: tuxristo: lol, ha
[09:31:00] Cardoe: tuxristo: heh
[09:31:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: she was naked?
[09:31:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: yes
[09:31:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: quite odd
[09:31:00] Cardoe: and she'd grind herself off on my leg
[09:31:00] Cardoe: crazy Baptist
[09:31:00] SarahEmm: tuxristo: gah. i'm sorry :P
[09:31:00] Cardoe: like I said.
[09:31:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: yes
[09:32:00] Cardoe: Southern Baptist.
[09:32:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: one second...
[09:32:00] ** SarahEmm didn't intend to get everyone depressed **
[09:32:00] Cardoe: her dad nearly killed me when he found out she moved in with me.
[09:32:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: lol
[09:32:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: im not depressed, I dont think the others are either
[09:32:00] Cardoe: http://gallery.cardoe.com/photos/diningout/DSC00966.JPG
[09:32:00] twisted_one: its healty to talk about it
[09:33:00] twisted_one: thats her?
[09:33:00] gnarface: hahah.
[09:33:00] Cardoe: yep
[09:33:00] twisted_one: and you?
[09:33:00] Cardoe: yep;
[09:33:00] twisted_one: nice
[09:33:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, i's not you, it's how fucked up all our lives are
[09:33:00] twisted_one: I'd show you mine, but the webserver is kinda not working tonight.
[09:33:00] SarahEmm: hey, mine too :P
[09:34:00] twisted_one: just go to the LAN and the admin is bed so cant get an port open for it =\
[09:34:00] Cardoe: she's a cutie.
[09:34:00] twisted_one: she is
[09:34:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, I dare say you likly have things better figured out then at least I do
[09:34:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: if you say so..
[09:35:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, your not a 23 year old who hasn't even had a girl date him yet...
[09:35:00] Cardoe: kormoc: allow me to smack you
[09:35:00] Cardoe: so you forget about her.
[09:35:00] kormoc: feel free
[09:36:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: keep it above the belt =P
[09:36:00] Cardoe: kormoc: you in college?
[09:36:00] kormoc: nope
[09:36:00] SarahEmm: kormoc: i don't really consider that the benchmark of someone's life...
[09:36:00] Cardoe: exactly
[09:36:00] kormoc: SarahEmm, the point is, I never even got a chance, and it's not for lack of tring.
[09:36:00] Cardoe: thinking that's the benchmark of your achievements is wrong.
[09:36:00] SarahEmm: i don't know that i've ever been on a 'date' either :P
[09:36:00] kormoc: It's not that
[09:36:00] kormoc: it's just like
[09:36:00] Cardoe: kormoc: everyone thinks they're trying.
[09:36:00] Cardoe: but really
[09:36:00] kormoc: it's a missing hole in my life
[09:36:00] Cardoe: they're doing a shitty job of it.
[09:36:00] kormoc: one I want to fill
[09:37:00] Cardoe: kormoc: Jamie is a missing hole in my life.
[09:37:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I asked a girl out, she ran away crying
[09:37:00] kormoc: this girl's the only one who hasn't rejected me outright
[09:37:00] kormoc: hence why I keep tring, I dare say
[09:37:00] Cardoe: kormoc: Well you can't start if off with "hey... does this rag smell like chlorophorm to you?"
[09:37:00] kormoc: nah, the girl who ran away
[09:37:00] kormoc: I was friends with her for bout 5 years
[09:37:00] twisted_one: Oh my
[09:37:00] Cardoe: and that's your problem
[09:37:00] kormoc: but destroyed it cause I asked her out on a date
[09:38:00] twisted_one: reading crazy article now

[09:38:00] Cardoe: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html
[09:38:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I sorta did, but can you condence down to what you mean?
[09:38:00] kormoc: I don't have money, or looks
[09:38:00] kormoc: so like, I'm doom according to the site
[09:38:00] Cardoe: kormoc: confidence

[09:39:00] Cardoe: KarlosII: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html
[09:39:00] kormoc: it just seems to say about how I have no chance...
[09:39:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: I need to read that still
[09:39:00] Cardoe: no.
[09:39:00] Cardoe: It describes tact.
[09:39:00] twisted_one: bah, see this is what i hate about society, yet its hilaroius
[09:39:00] twisted_one: http://tuckermax.com/tuckertriesbuttsex.html
[09:39:00] kormoc: no problem with tact
[09:39:00] Cardoe: haha tucker max.
[09:40:00] kormoc: I ask at the best time to do so
[09:40:00] Cardoe: that stupid bastard.
[09:40:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:40:00] kormoc: it's not that
[09:40:00] Cardoe: kormoc: or so you think.
[09:40:00] kormoc: it's just they arn't intrested in me like that.
[09:40:00] Cardoe: kormoc: exactly.
[09:40:00] Cardoe: the point is asking the ones that are.
[09:40:00] Cardoe: ;)
[09:40:00] gnarface: kormoc: just be mean to them. chicks love that.
[09:40:00] kormoc: ahh, who are they, the ones that are, that is
[09:40:00] kormoc: other then my crazy redhead roommate?
[09:40:00] Cardoe: Oh.. disinterest is an awesome one.
[09:40:00] Cardoe: disinterest drives the attention whores crazy.
[09:40:00] kormoc: gnarface, I'm sorry, I'm too nice to do that.
[09:40:00] kormoc: I don't like attention whores
[09:41:00] Cardoe: just saying
[09:41:00] kormoc: I want a nice simple life with a nice simple girl
[09:41:00] Cardoe: ok.
[09:41:00] gnarface: kormoc: move to north dakota
[09:41:00] Cardoe: well guess what.
[09:41:00] SarahEmm: lol
[09:41:00] kormoc: Cardoe, what?
[09:41:00] Cardoe: kormoc: your pool of females hasn't reached the girls that want the same.
[09:41:00] kormoc: ahh, but it has
[09:41:00] kormoc: Karen sits there and bitches about how a.
[09:41:00] kormoc: none of her friends will date her
[09:42:00] kormoc: b. everyone wants so much from her
[09:42:00] twisted_one: brb
[09:42:00] Cardoe: that's the roommate?
[09:42:00] kormoc: and I'm like, I just want a date and that's it
[09:42:00] kormoc: no, that'ss the girl I moved out here for
[09:42:00] gnarface: fuuuuck
[09:42:00] gnarface: kormoc:
[09:42:00] gnarface: god damn you
[09:42:00] Cardoe: kormoc: seriously.
[09:42:00] Cardoe: drop her
[09:42:00] gnarface: www.okcupid.com
[09:42:00] Cardoe: like it's hot.
[09:42:00] Cardoe: seriously
[09:42:00] Cardoe: never talk to her again.
[09:42:00] kormoc: my room mate is a semi crazy redhead who I can't just seem to click with, she's too wild.
[09:42:00] gnarface: stop whining, drop the crazy bitch, and use a dating service.
[09:42:00] Cardoe: She'll realize she's an idiot.
[09:43:00] kormoc: gnarface, already have a profile, no matches.
[09:43:00] kormoc: well, none in my area.
[09:43:00] gnarface: *blink*
[09:43:00] gnarface: what area is that again?
[09:43:00] kormoc: Seattle
[09:43:00] fryfrog: are you restricting your search from MS chicks?
[09:43:00] kormoc: nope
[09:43:00] fryfrog: er, restricting MS chicks from your search :)
[09:43:00] Cardoe: gnarface: Go there. Re-condition him.
[09:44:00] SarahEmm: MS?
[09:44:00] Cardoe: SarahEmm: Microsoft.
[09:44:00] kormoc: Microsoft I'd assume
[09:44:00] kormoc: joking bout how few linux chicks there are
[09:44:00] SarahEmm: ok
[09:44:00] SarahEmm: <-- linuxchick :P
[09:44:00] kormoc: SarahEmm <-- rare :P
[09:44:00] SarahEmm: lol
[09:44:00] SarahEmm: true.
[09:44:00] Cardoe: yeah but you aim for the same target as us.
[09:44:00] Cardoe: so you don't count
[09:44:00] fryfrog: and also that seatle is teh home of teh MS
[09:44:00] Cardoe: ;)
[09:45:00] SarahEmm: Cardoe: :P
[09:45:00] gnarface: kormoc: just go to the damn gym and fricking work out hard for a couple hours a day while you're thinking about how much you suck. in 2 months tops, you can pick up any chick at any bar in the city.
[09:45:00] kormoc: Cardoe, so you think I should just not talk to her and she'll come around and seek me out eh?
[09:45:00] Cardoe: kormoc: maybe
[09:45:00] Cardoe: and if she doesn't
[09:45:00] Cardoe: you'll be better off for it.
[09:46:00] Cardoe: but don't give up after a month like I did with Jamie.
[09:46:00] Cardoe: Stephanie took almost 3 years.
[09:46:00] kormoc: gnarface, I don't look that bad to be honest, I just don't look that good, and mussel mass won't change that.
[09:46:00] fryfrog: man, when i was unemployed i went and worked out and it made a big diff in my normal life
[09:46:00] kormoc: Cardoe, every time I break off contact, she gets in contact with me and sucks me back in tho.
[09:46:00] fryfrog: i really need to start going again :/
[09:46:00] gnarface: kormoc: it will if you're below about 5% bodyfat, at least to the chicks it will.
[09:46:00] twisted_one: back
[09:46:00] Cardoe: kormoc: Jamie does the same thing.
[09:47:00] kormoc: gnarface, ugly mug, not much can be done.
[09:47:00] gnarface: kormoc: chicks like ugly shit
[09:47:00] twisted_one: what did I miss?
[09:47:00] kormoc: gnarface, gee, thanks.
[09:47:00] gnarface: kormoc: get tattoos to look meaner.
[09:47:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:47:00] twisted_one: and then start drinking and beating themn
[09:47:00] gnarface: yea
[09:47:00] twisted_one: it become cool to be trash
[09:47:00] twisted_one: how I loathe society
[09:47:00] Cardoe: seriously
[09:47:00] twisted_one: at least american society
[09:48:00] twisted_one: AND THE WORST PART
[09:48:00] Cardoe: And then they'll find another "nice" guy to complain too.
[09:48:00] Cardoe: The thing is...
[09:48:00] Cardoe: these girls GROW up eventually
[09:48:00] twisted_one: OF ALL THE PLACE THE BLAME LIES ITS SOMEHOW THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111oneone
[09:48:00] Cardoe: and then seek out the nice guys.
[09:48:00] Cardoe: No
[09:48:00] Cardoe: It's Walt Disney
[09:48:00] Cardoe: he fucked up all girls
[09:48:00] twisted_one: I was referring ot the "cool to be trash" mentality
[09:48:00] Cardoe: but seriously.
[09:48:00] Cardoe: disinterest is the best tool of the nice guy.
[09:48:00] twisted_one: I hate disney
[09:49:00] Cardoe: because it allows you to be the nice guy.
[09:49:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: sure then I get sucked back into her game and trash whatever relationship im in =P
[09:49:00] Cardoe: Forget her.
[09:49:00] Cardoe: I'm talking about new girls that you want to get.
[09:49:00] Cardoe: And oddly enough it works wonders getting "her" back eventually.
[09:50:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: I know
[09:50:00] Cardoe: If only I had pictures of the two girls that I'm "disinteresting" right now.
[09:50:00] twisted_one: and then I get her back, and she fucks me over again
[09:50:00] Cardoe: well one of them is no longer being "disinterested"
[09:50:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: well then drop her.
[09:51:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: I wish it was that simple
[09:51:00] Cardoe: It really is though
[09:51:00] Cardoe: you can think about her
[09:51:00] ** gnarface never looks back. **
[09:51:00] Cardoe: gnarface: there ya go.
[09:51:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: you though Jamie looked good?
[09:52:00] Cardoe: the current redhead I'm seeing makes Jamie look ugly.
[09:52:00] twisted_one: heh
[09:52:00] twisted_one: its not so much about looks for me
[09:52:00] twisted_one: dont get me wrong
[09:52:00] Cardoe: That was a disinterest tactic.
[09:52:00] Cardoe: It's not looks for me either.
[09:52:00] Cardoe: I geninely was not interested in this girl.
[09:52:00] Cardoe: Because she was too much of an attention whore.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: And just had a bunch of annoying qualities.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: I was trying to date her roommate.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: and hung out with her roommate.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: and really just wished she would go away as much as possible.
[09:53:00] twisted_one: lol
[09:53:00] Cardoe: I made that pretty clear.
[09:53:00] twisted_one: I know the type
[09:53:00] Cardoe: Seriously.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: But she was determined to prove me otherwise I guess.
[09:53:00] Cardoe: I relented
[09:53:00] Cardoe: and she's not as bad as I originally thought.
[09:54:00] Cardoe: She's trying so hard.
[09:54:00] Cardoe: It's cute.
[09:54:00] twisted_one: very nice
[09:54:00] Cardoe: And surprisingly, she's realized how much of a bitch and stupid girl she's been all these years.
[09:54:00] Cardoe: she's been apologizing to past guys.
[09:55:00] Cardoe: I feel like a freaking miracle worker.
[09:55:00] twisted_one: wow
[09:55:00] gnarface: perhaps you are
[09:55:00] Cardoe: I honestly have no plans on the relationship going farther.
[09:55:00] gnarface: just make sure you can trust her if she's smarter than you
[09:55:00] Cardoe: It's good for me right now.
[09:55:00] Cardoe: gnarface: she's not smarter then me.
[09:55:00] Cardoe: if she is and has been hiding it this long
[09:55:00] Cardoe: She's pretty damn smart.
[09:56:00] Cardoe: either way.
[09:56:00] Cardoe: dinner gets cooked and I just show up to eat.
[09:56:00] Cardoe: and leave without helping out with anything.
[09:56:00] gnarface: that reminds me
[09:56:00] gnarface: anyone know any investment capitalists?
[09:56:00] Cardoe: Since I work like 65 hrs a week over the summer.
[09:56:00] Cardoe: So I show up on my break.
[09:56:00] gnarface: i want to start a company manufacturing robots for kitchen work.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: gnarface: i'd buy one...
[09:57:00] Cardoe: if I had the money
[09:57:00] Cardoe: And...
[09:57:00] Cardoe: She comes to my apartment.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: well she did this once so far.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: came over while I was at work.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: got my roommate to let her in.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: and did my laundry for me.
[09:57:00] Cardoe: without asking.
[09:57:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: holy hell
[09:58:00] gnarface: that's fantastic dedication really.
[09:58:00] Cardoe: Every girlfriend I've had always picks up slack.
[09:58:00] Cardoe: well
[09:58:00] twisted_one: must be a florida thing
[09:58:00] Cardoe: every girlfriend I've had while in Florida
[09:58:00] gnarface: yea, that's where my robot plan comes it
[09:58:00] Cardoe: not in NY
[09:59:00] twisted_one: gnarface: Im all for it
[09:59:00] gnarface: robots: for those of us without girlfriends.
[09:59:00] twisted_one: gnarface: how much of an investment? =)
[09:59:00] gnarface: man, robotics research won't be cheap
[09:59:00] SarahEmm: lol gnarface
[09:59:00] twisted_one: gnarface: I'll give you my dads contact info
[09:59:00] twisted_one: he loves to blow his money on stupid shit
[09:59:00] gnarface: ahhaha.
[09:59:00] gnarface: hey
[09:59:00] twisted_one: stupid shit that isnt my education
[09:59:00] twisted_one: =P
[10:00:00] twisted_one: He just dropped 300k on a gambling boat dealy in florida
[10:00:00] Cardoe: want to get him to pay off my tuition?
[10:00:00] gnarface: a robot dish washer loader/cook/laundry folder would *not* be a stupid contribution to modern society.
[10:00:00] Cardoe: god forbid my parents contributed a fucking dime.
[10:00:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: He'll most likely do it before he pays for mine =\
[10:00:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: I'm in the same boat.
[10:00:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: exactly!
[10:00:00] Cardoe: my parents are doing so good that the gov't and everyone tells me to fuck myself.
[10:00:00] Cardoe: god forbid they give me a dime
[10:01:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: and my mother isnt exactly financially savvy, but she blows her money on stupid shit as well, just has alot less to blow
[10:01:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: she spent 10g on PETS last year (2 birds, 2 dogs and 3 ferrets)
[10:01:00] Cardoe: I was told my the school that I'm wasting their time with my financial aid forms.
[10:01:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: exactly
[10:01:00] Cardoe: I said "THEY DON'T GIVE ME A CENT!"
[10:01:00] twisted_one: I hate it, I cant get aid because of my parents income
[10:01:00] Cardoe: and it doesn't matter
[10:02:00] twisted_one: My dad was giving me 5g's a year, which was nice
[10:02:00] twisted_one: but then I found out it was actually my money he was giving me
[10:02:00] twisted_one: =\
[10:02:00] Cardoe: heh.
[10:02:00] Cardoe: my biological dad died when I was a kid
[10:02:00] Cardoe: so I got a Social Security check
[10:02:00] Cardoe: which my mom took and tossed in the bank.
[10:02:00] Cardoe: they gave me that money.
[10:02:00] Cardoe: well not really gave it..
[10:02:00] Cardoe: more like I had to submit bills to them.
[10:03:00] Cardoe: and everything had to be itemized and argued over.

[10:03:00] Cardoe: But the day they found out I was helping support Jamie too.
[10:03:00] Cardoe: that money apparent entirely dried up.
[10:03:00] Cardoe: But I know it's BS... but I don't see a dime of it anymore.
[10:03:00] twisted_one: Note that the following topics of disinterest have been field tested and shown conclusively not to work: Unix,

[10:06:00] kormoc: yeah...
[10:06:00] Cardoe: women are evil
[10:06:00] Cardoe: Jamie moved in with me.
[10:06:00] Cardoe: I supported her 100%
[10:06:00] Cardoe: she worked enough to pay her rent.
[10:06:00] Cardoe: just rent
[10:06:00] Cardoe: nothing else... not even utilities.
[10:06:00] Cardoe: I paid her roommates for utilities.
[10:06:00] ** kormoc notes how current roommate is the same **
[10:06:00] Cardoe: sometimes she didn't even cover rent.
[10:07:00] Cardoe: I took out loans
[10:07:00] Cardoe: and worked
[10:07:00] twisted_one: bah
[10:07:00] Cardoe: we signed a lease together for an apartment
[10:07:00] Cardoe: 6 days before we were to move in together
[10:07:00] Cardoe: she had left the state for the first time in her life.
[10:07:00] Cardoe: was a camp counsler in Penn.
[10:07:00] Cardoe: we broke up.
[10:07:00] Cardoe: I had to cancel the lease.. find another place.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: lose the whole deposit.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: oh... and I drove up there.
[10:08:00] twisted_one: lovely
[10:08:00] Cardoe: picked her up.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: she got 1 day off.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: drove to NYC
[10:08:00] Cardoe: took her to see Rent on Broadway.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: Took her to a couple of other places.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: then drove back.
[10:08:00] Cardoe: Tried to prep everything for her coming back.
[10:09:00] Cardoe: Even got a slightly bigger and more expensive place then I needed
[10:09:00] Cardoe: cause I figured she'd end up moving back in with me.
[10:09:00] Cardoe: Ended up having to drop out of fall semester
[10:09:00] Cardoe: to work extra
[10:09:00] Cardoe: to keep up with bills
[10:09:00] SarahEmm: i didn't mean to start this, honestly.. sorry people :P
[10:09:00] Cardoe: from when I supported her.
[10:10:00] Cardoe: And then depression got me Spring semester.
[10:10:00] Cardoe: Because I got injured with AFROTC and lost my commission.
[10:10:00] twisted_one: lol, hes using neitzsche, awesome!
[10:10:00] Cardoe: and I failed spring semester.
[10:10:00] Cardoe: and here I am over the summer.
[10:10:00] Cardoe: When I had a wedding planned for this past december.
[10:11:00] Cardoe: I was suppose to be commissioned as a 2nd Lt.
[10:11:00] Cardoe: I was assigned to Goodfellow AFB in Texas.
[10:11:00] twisted_one: aww, Cardoe all goes back to my distrust of those who call themselves christians
[10:11:00] twisted_one: =P
[10:11:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: agreed,
[10:11:00] Cardoe: So right now I'm trying to finish my computer engineering degree
[10:11:00] Cardoe: which I've decided I hate.
[10:11:00] Cardoe: And strongly don't wanna do anything related to computers for my professional career.
[10:11:00] twisted_one: SarahEmm: its ok, like we said, its healthy and you really are of no fault, a mere catalyst perhaps, but most definatly not at fault
[10:12:00] Cardoe: So I turn down good paying Gentoo jobs.
[10:12:00] twisted_one: =\
[10:12:00] Cardoe: and continue to bust my ass at the stupid grocery store
[10:12:00] twisted_one: drobbins just started working at ms =\
[10:12:00] Cardoe: where I've had a college job for a few years.
[10:12:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: heh, i do the same at Target =\
[10:12:00] Cardoe: and am now probably the lowest paid manager.
[10:12:00] fryfrog: dood, you turn down computer jobs to work at a grocery store?
[10:12:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: yeah
[10:13:00] Cardoe: well contract jobs.
[10:13:00] twisted_one: Cardoe: and I just got promoted to manager, meaning I will be the lowest paid =\
[10:13:00] fryfrog: if you don't wanna work with computers, comp eng is gonna be a suck ass degree :)
[10:13:00] Cardoe: twisted_one: believe me. I win.
[10:13:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: It'll turn around.
[10:13:00] gnarface: Cardoe: heh. send them my way man. <-- keyboard for hire
[10:13:00] fryfrog: you mean YOU will turn around?
[10:13:00] Cardoe: I like doing my own thing with computers.
[10:13:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: eventually.
[10:13:00] fryfrog: ah, i see
[10:13:00] Cardoe: just need to get away from it a bit.
[10:14:00] Cardoe: oh
[10:14:00] Cardoe: and my parents are convinced I'm going to become a homeless bum.
[10:14:00] Cardoe: because I'm already a failure with my life.

[10:19:00] Cardoe: SarahEmm: just have to keep going and try to find happiness with what you've got.

[13:30:00] VxJasonxV: (TV... that is)
[13:32:00] VxJasonxV: So the 350 adds on FM Radio support?
[13:33:00] lespiggot: ok, afaik, hauppauge have sort of been used for years and hence the drivers are all well documented and supported
[13:33:00] VxJasonxV: $200, ouch
[13:33:00] mejo (jonas@mejo.developer.debian) has joined #mythtv-users
[13:34:00] GreyFoxx: The general favourite is the 250 followed by the 150, the 350 and finally the 500
[13:34:00] VxJasonxV: now I rememeber why I put it on hiatus for now :-\
[13:34:00] GreyFoxx: All of them incorporate hardware compression right on the card and myth supports the ivtv drivers for handling them
[13:34:00] ** VxJasonxV checks the 150 **
[13:34:00] lespiggot: on my old mythbox, I used a $20 hauppauge TV-Go card and it worked ok, just picked up a 350 on ebay for 79 bucks so going to use that when it arrives
[13:36:00] VxJasonxV: bleh. I think I still need to put it on hold... because I do want to get a new hard drive too.
[13:37:00] VxJasonxV: Though I really want the ability to play my PS2 on my computer :-\
[13:37:00] GreyFoxx: Well, the pvr cards are not really what you wanit in that case
[13:37:00] VxJasonxV: They are if I want to throw in MythTV functions too
[13:37:00] GreyFoxx: Cause they / myth all include a slight timedelay as the video is compressed and spooled to the drive. IT's a couple seconds behind what is coming in so it wuold make games unplayable
[13:38:00] VxJasonxV: really?
[13:38:00] GreyFoxx: Yes
[13:38:00] VxJasonxV: I thought there was a myth app that wouldn't buffer
[13:38:00] GreyFoxx: Not built into myth
[13:38:00] VxJasonxV: The last cheap USB thing I had had a max output of 320x240, and didn't sync at all, it wasn't a "PVR" per se, however
[13:38:00] VxJasonxV: hrm
[13:38:00] GreyFoxx: there are other tv apps that don't do the pvr type fuctions, but they use bttv style cards which don't include compression
[13:39:00] lespiggot: VxJasonV: why not go for a PS2 emulator?
[13:39:00] GreyFoxx: And you can use a bttv card with myth , it just takes more cpu to do it
[13:39:00] VxJasonxV: lespiggot, because I guarentee you the games I want to play on it won't run at full speed
[13:39:00] VxJasonxV: so what app/cards do I need for non-buffered use?
[13:39:00] VxJasonxV: if they even run
[13:39:00] VxJasonxV: that is
[13:40:00] GreyFoxx: hrm, xawtv and any supported bttv card (which are pretty cheap)

[13:40:00] ChanServ sets mode +v GeckoFiend
[13:40:00] GreyFoxx: the bttv cards basically return a raw yuv frame from the incoming feed, and the app shunts it right to the video card, so you incur almost no delay
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: And then when you use myth with that card then the compression would happen in software, but you could still use it
[13:41:00] VxJasonxV: Any recommendations for a specific card?
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: Nope
[13:41:00] VxJasonxV: I did see that bttv term being thrown around
[13:41:00] GreyFoxx: I don't use bttv cards anymore
[13:42:00] GreyFoxx: I have a couple laying around but they are a few years old
[13:42:00] VxJasonxV: I hadn't doven (<--?) into everything yet, so I was entirely unsure of it's meaning compared to other types

[17:18:00] GreyFoxx: laga: Sweet, that's exactly what I'm looking for (that remote). I'm gonna look into ordering a couple. I'll hack up a driver if I need to
[17:18:00] hadeees: what remote?
[17:18:00] hadeees: GreyFoxx, don't you have a niveus?
[17:19:00] GreyFoxx: It's a remote with what appears to be a USB reciever that has a full flip open mini keyboard insite
[17:19:00] rayv3n: I followed the instruction on http://wilsonet.com/mythtv, when I get to running irw. irw starts up and stays running. I can see that lircd is happy but irw does not display events from the remote
[17:19:00] GreyFoxx: hadeees: Yup I do

[17:23:00] hadeees: I think the future of MythTV remote is with MythWifi, if you guys know of the Pronto remotes that cost a huge amount of money, with a $100 crappy PDA with a wifi card you could have a remote that looks just like a Pronto that talks to mythtv over wifi
[17:23:00] hadeees: netremote.org does this for windows
[17:23:00] hadeees: well windows ce
[17:23:00] hadeees: it could do it for MythTV but the software costs $20
[17:24:00] hadeees: i don't think it is much but i wonder if MythTV users would pay for it
[17:24:00] rayv3n: hadeees, lircd -n
[17:24:00] rayv3n: lircd 0.7.1: lircd(hauppauge) ready
[17:24:00] rayv3n: lircd 0.7.1: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
[17:24:00] laga: i certainly wouldn't pay for that.
[17:24:00] hadeees: laga, have you looked at it? its a pronto replacement
[17:24:00] hadeees: i think it is pretty neat
[17:24:00] laga: especially because the magicitx.com guys already have mythwifi
[17:24:00] rayv3n: hadeees, what else should I try?
[17:25:00] laga: hadeees: i don't feel like paying for software

[17:26:00] laga: hadeees: it's a piece of software.
[17:26:00] hadeees: so whats the link to this remote

[17:51:00] jonK: (by tune, i mean will modprobe ivtv will correctly configure)
[17:51:00] hadeees: jonK, wait so the 500 works if the pvr 350 isn't there
[17:51:00] jonK: yes
[17:51:00] jonK: beirdo, but i want the fine tvout of the 350!
[17:51:00] hadeees: jonK, that is really strange
[17:52:00] hadeees: jonK, you should post to the ivtv mailing list
[17:52:00] jonK: ok
[17:52:00] Beirdo: then you have a problem :)
[17:52:00] jonK: i have many, this is but one
[17:52:00] Beirdo: you could put the 500s in a different machine
[17:52:00] hadeees: Beirdo, okay mr. $$$ bags but most of use can't have a seprate machine for every tunner
[17:53:00] jonK: thought about putting the 350 in a different machine, but it seems pretty wasteful
[17:53:00] hadeees: seems like an over lap or something
[17:53:00] hadeees: jonK, well if you have a frontend and a backend then the 350 would have to be in the frontend to get tv-out
[17:53:00] jonK: god only knows what's going to happen whyn i try to add the hd3000
[17:54:00] rayv3n: has anyone tried the HDTV card ATI puts out?
[17:54:00] Beirdo: hadeees: if he can afford to be buying 2 500s and a 350, I think he might have enough dough for another backend machine while he waits for the ivtv guys to fix the problem

[17:56:00] rayv3n: hadeees, got some new info, after compiling and inserting the debug version of lirc_dev and i2c, /dev/lirc is replaced by /dev/lirc0 and irw does not work
[17:57:00] rayv3n: lircd dies as well
[17:57:00] Maybelline: Anyone know if there's any workaround for the KM400 system freeze problem?
[17:58:00] hadeees: rayv3n, is lircd pointing at /dev/lirc0?
[17:58:00] jonK: run lircd with lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
[17:58:00] hadeees: Maybelline, bee stings
[17:59:00] rayv3n: hadeees it was pointing to /dev/lirc... changing that now
[17:59:00] Maybelline: ??
[17:59:00] Maybelline: I'm a noob to MythTV and IRC, so I don't know which deficiency makes me not know what "bee stings" means! :)
[18:00:00] hadeees: Maybelline, it means you need to give more information before anyone can help you with your problems, i know about as much about KM400 as you do about what i said
[18:00:00] rayv3n: hadeees, ok same problem lircd loads up find with the encantation you gave me. irw loads up find but no events are displayed same as before
[18:00:00] hadeees: rayv3n, have you run irrecrod?
[18:00:00] hadeees: record
[18:01:00] Maybelline: Ahh. I've read in the gossamer threads about KM400 chipsets causing system locks when using the PVR500 (perhaps others)
[18:01:00] rayv3n: hadeees, no I haven't
[18:01:00] Maybelline: if I cat /dev/video0, I get a complete system lock.
[18:01:00] hadeees: hadeees, i think your problem is there isn't any keys
[18:01:00] hadeees: hadeees, you need to record your keys first
[18:01:00] hadeees: irw will print out what key you are pressing

[18:03:00] rjune: whatcha need?
[18:03:00] LedHed: wondering if its better than FC3. I had lots of issues with FC3
[18:04:00] rjune: depends on what your issues were
[18:04:00] rayv3n: hadeees, when you say keys what are you refering to?
[18:04:00] rjune: so far its ok. mostly just updated software. which means less problems
[18:04:00] rayv3n: .lircrc ?
[18:04:00] rjune: I don't see anything hugely different
[18:04:00] hadeees: rayv3n, run irrecord and record your keys
[18:04:00] hadeees: rayv3n, yeah
[18:04:00] hadeees: rayv3n, the buttons on your remote
[18:05:00] hadeees: rayv3n, even if you have one pre made from someone else
[18:05:00] rjune: LedHed: most of the repos haven't finished building for it yet, so don't expect all the software for a week or two
[18:05:00] jonK: hadees no, i think you only need the lircrc file to send keys to a given program. i think IRW sends text based on the lircd.conf file

[18:06:00] hadeees: replace what ever irrecord makes
[18:06:00] hadeees: rayv3n, i know make a new one
[18:06:00] rayv3n: ok
[18:06:00] hadeees: rayv3n, first if you can record a new one then your stuff is working
[18:06:00] hadeees: rayv3n, i have had strange problems some times where the codes don't match for the premade one
[18:06:00] hadeees: who knows hy
[18:06:00] hadeees: why
[18:07:00] rayv3n: hadeees, I'm working on it now
[18:08:00] hadeees: rayv3n, but it is working, it is responding to your remote?

[18:13:00] jonK: question: what is the proper setting for input connections and the pvr 500?
[18:13:00] hadeees: jonK, what do you mean?
[18:13:00] CyberKnet: jonK: I dont know right now, but I will before next weekend is out
[18:13:00] jonK: in mythtv-setup i've setup cards for /dev/video1, 3, and 4
[18:14:00] jonK: what input should be used, as bewtten tuner 0 and tuner 1
[18:14:00] hadeees: i know the pvr-500 has two tuners but does it have two hardware mpeg2 chips also?
[18:14:00] jonK: yes
[18:14:00] jonK: i think....
[18:15:00] jonK: myth-setup gives a tuner 0 and tuner 1 option for the pvr500 /dev/videoX cards
[18:15:00] jonK: but does not for the pvr350 --only the tuner0 option
[18:15:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: afaik yes. It is two pvr-150's squished together.
[18:16:00] CyberKnet: jonK: ivtv should print what video devices are what tuners when it starts up, does it not?
[18:16:00] jonK: these are the right /dev/devices, im wondering about the other setting, tuner0 and tuner1
[18:17:00] jonK: as the input connection assinged to the card in mythtv-setup
[18:17:00] CyberKnet: should only be two variations to try
[18:17:00] jonK: for four tuner's that's 8!!
[18:17:00] jonK: but since im using only three
[18:17:00] CyberKnet: you already know which card has which video devices, no?
[18:17:00] jonK: yes
[18:17:00] jonK: 1,2,3,4
[18:18:00] jonK: but 2 wont modprobe correctly
[18:18:00] jonK: so just using 1,3 and 4
[18:18:00] jaykettu (jaykettu@blackmetal.fi) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:18:00] CyberKnet: so pvr-500 card1 has video devices 2 and 3?
[18:18:00] jonK: no 1 and 2
[18:18:00] CyberKnet: okay.
[18:18:00] jonK: and card two has 3 and 4
[18:19:00] CyberKnet: so on /dev/video1 try tuner0, if that doesn't work, try tuner1
[18:19:00] CyberKnet: then add a new capture card as /dev/video3 and try tuner0 with it, see if it works, if not use tuner1
[18:19:00] CyberKnet: each card has a tuner0 and a tuner1
[18:20:00] CyberKnet: and since you already know the video devices for each card, it's just two combinations to try.
[18:20:00] rayv3n: hadeees, I ran irrecord it ask me to hold down a key, it made progress dots then ask me to name a button then hit it. I did this until the last button then it ask me to press a button many times I did but it didn't return after that.

[18:42:00] jonK_: i've only had it working for one night, haven't reallyused it much, but it seems fine enough
[18:42:00] jonK_: so 33? bottom line
[18:42:00] rayv3n: can anyone shed some ligtht on why lircd runs, accepts client connections, irw starts and runs but no events are display. Oh and irrecord seems to respond when using the remote?
[18:42:00] Ray_: after the mail in rebate... yeah
[18:42:00] jonK_: lircd.conf does not have the right values
[18:42:00] rayv3n: I'm on my last couple of hairs
[18:42:00] jonK_: would be my guess

[18:44:00] jonK_: but for difficulty of configuration, i dont think you'll have any more/less trouble with the firefly
[18:44:00] jonK_: rayv3n try running lircd not as a daemon
[18:44:00] jonK_: kill it if running and try lircd -n
[18:45:00] LedHed: when upgrading to the latest Fedora release, is it better to do a clean unstall or is it ok to just upgrade?
[18:45:00] xris: CyberKnet: looks cheap.
[18:45:00] jonK_: then in another xterm run irw and see if it's being registered
[18:45:00] CyberKnet: xris: two pci risers on ribbons
[18:45:00] CyberKnet: xris: as well as an agp riser
[18:45:00] CyberKnet: the silver version looked better, imo
[18:45:00] xris: you do know that risers can cause all KINDS Of issues.
[18:45:00] CyberKnet: nope
[18:45:00] CyberKnet: didn't know that.
[18:46:00] CyberKnet: because of timings?
[18:46:00] xris: huge portion of our support issues are because manufacturers don't understand that, either.
[18:46:00] rayv3n: jonK, thats the way I'm running it right now
[18:46:00] LedHed: I've never had any issues with risers. but I've only used them in 2 systems
[18:46:00] xris: riser X will work with raid card Y, but nothing else... that kind of thing.
[18:46:00] CyberKnet: xris: hmmm
[18:47:00] xris: we're also dealing in high-end raid card stuff, too.
[18:47:00] jonK_: are you getting irw to register with lircd?
[18:47:00] CyberKnet: xris: I dont think I'd use this case for a backend anyways... but for a frontend (with no need for risers) it looks nice.
[18:47:00] xris: yeah, it's nice and slim
[18:47:00] xris: I still like the lc-11, though
[18:47:00] LedHed: CyberKnet, which case?
[18:48:00] rayv3n: jonK, yes irw loads and lircd say accepting client connection but not events get displayed. I also double checked my .lircrc
[18:48:00] Beirdo: I like the LC10

[18:48:00] Beirdo: I don't remember why I liked it better than LC11, but there was something
[18:48:00] jonK_: do you have an lircd.conf?
[18:48:00] LedHed: WOW, thats a pretty case
[18:48:00] rayv3n: jonK_, yes I have it
[18:48:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: indeed.
[18:49:00] LedHed: how much?
[18:49:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: doesn't look like a pc case... which is my problem with most.
[18:49:00] jonK_: i can look at it this evening if you'd like, where are you getting values for lircd.conf?
[18:49:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: haven't found anyone selling it yet =)

[18:51:00] rayv3n: jonK_, not stupid that was the problem on Saturday, its plugged in now ;)
[18:52:00] jonK_: do you have permissions to write to lircd?
[18:52:00] LedHed: How could they come up with such a nice design and forget the VFD & IR window?

[18:57:00] jonK_: are you running lircd against the correct device?
[18:57:00] LedHed: the units conversion syntax is 5280 ft in inches
[18:57:00] LedHed: currency is probably similar

[19:10:00] CyberKnet: rjune: I also concur

[19:10:00] LedHed: reality tv is an oxymoron
[19:10:00] GreyFoxx: rjune: for 99% of reality tv I agree. If I wanted to see real shit I would go outside and watch people
[19:10:00] CyberKnet: rjune: sports tv and reality tv should both disappear =)
[19:11:00] Beirdo: reality TV is useless.. build a porch on your house
[19:11:00] Beirdo: and then you can heckle too
[19:11:00] LedHed: I do watch Survivor. But its not reality
[19:11:00] GreyFoxx: There are a couple shows I get a kick out of, but mostly the back stabbing aspect
[19:11:00] GreyFoxx: but the majority of it I have no use for
[19:11:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: so what's it like being the puck on an ice hockey rink?

[19:13:00] Beirdo: hehe
[19:13:00] LedHed: I'm just saying that I may have been more inclined to play if there were more ice in Cali.
[19:13:00] Beirdo: yeah
[19:13:00] Beirdo: it would be hard to find a rink to play on
[19:13:00] Beirdo: up here, in the winter, it's dead easy
[19:14:00] Beirdo: every pissant town has at least one indoor rink, and often outdoor ones too

[19:14:00] CyberKnet: because a good ice rink is just a matter of pouring out a ton of water, right?
[19:14:00] CyberKnet: bah
[19:14:00] Beirdo: kormoc: because it depends on the weather too much
[19:14:00] Beirdo: and it's a lot of shovelling to keep it clear
[19:15:00] FITH: well.... and getting a Zamboni to shave it
[19:15:00] Beirdo: but a good rink needs to be level, smooth, etc... it's hard to keep an outdoor rink right
[19:15:00] kormoc: fair nuff.
[19:15:00] Beirdo: you don't often use zambonis outdoors
[19:15:00] CyberKnet: it's hard enough to create a good rink indoors.
[19:15:00] CyberKnet: and really freaking slow.
[19:15:00] Beirdo: heh, true
[19:16:00] Beirdo: you'd be surprised
[19:16:00] CyberKnet: I don't think I would.
[19:16:00] Beirdo: they can lay down like 8 inches of good ice in a matter of a couple days
[19:16:00] Beirdo: something along those lines
[19:16:00] CyberKnet: that's really slow. My freezer makes ice in under an hour =P"

[19:18:00] Beirdo: you come up here, strap on the skates and the gear, and see how much fun you can have
[19:19:00] hasse: I need help with a DVB card. I put it into my machine and did "echo dvb_bt8xx >> /etc/modules", and after that it started to load frontend drivers. After that I could create a video source and search for channels and so on. But I did that on my desk, where there is no antenna. Now I've lugged the computer to the antenna, and now I get "Device or resource busy" for the DVB card. What gives?

[19:24:00] CyberKnet: dragging a skate is how I would stop.
[19:24:00] Beirdo: on rollerblades, I took the heelstop off, cambered them like hockey skates, then used tight quick turning to slow down most of the time

[19:32:00] BMOC: i understand with ivtv you have to do something funny in the order you have the modules loaded, before having mythtvbackend start, to avoid channel problems, or something
[19:32:00] BMOC: i thought i fixed that, but apparently i didn't...
[19:32:00] Beirdo: never heard that before
[19:33:00] reel: start ivtv before backend but i'd think that is expected
[19:33:00] BMOC: wait, maybe it's that you have to start mythtvbackend first...
[19:33:00] BMOC: i'd read it on a post, and i noticed the problem
[19:33:00] Beirdo: if you have your modules setup right, starting the backend should modprobe the ivtv drivers for you

[19:41:00] jonK: on my system
[19:41:00] BMOC: sphing: and how did you fix it?
[19:41:00] sphing: BMOC: i'm using a m10k
[19:41:00] sphing: i had to enable hardware

[19:49:00] BMOC: This describes how to build and use MythTv with the Unichome Projects viaXvMC interface library which provides a Hardware MPEG decoding implementation for the Via Unichrome (CLE266) chipset. Note that this relies on a few new Unichrome features which are under active development at the moment, so this could easily be out of date
[19:49:00] BMOC: hmm

[20:18:00] Beirdo: duh
[20:18:00] BMOC: i have been, dude

[20:23:00] Beirdo: I said DMA, not MythTV

[20:25:00] reel: the early ones played poorly with many other devices. i remember having a sb live value in a via kt133 motherboard. it would have some issue on the bus causing it to pop every so often
[20:26:00] BMOC: dma for the hard drive is turned on, and seems to be working

[20:45:00] sphing: you're sure
[20:45:00] BMOC: well, aside from the channel thing sometimes.
[20:46:00] sphing: i'm out of ideas
[20:46:00] JohnnyQuest: how do i set up my ip in the setup if i only have one mythbox?
[20:46:00] JohnnyQuest: do i just set up both ips the same?
[20:46:00] sphing: you mean your backend/frontend are the same machine?
[20:47:00] BMOC: yes

[20:50:00] JohnnyQuest: thank you j-rod for your howto with fc3
[20:51:00] j-rod: soon to be fc4... :)
[20:51:00] JohnnyQuest: chown: changing ownership of `/video': Operation not permitted
[20:51:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: gonna be FC4 before saturday? =)
[20:51:00] JohnnyQuest: i think my partitions may be messed up...
[20:53:00] sphing: JohnnyQuest: are you root?
[20:54:00] JohnnyQuest: (hangs head down)
[20:55:00] JohnnyQuest: i still think my partitions are messed up...
[20:56:00] JohnnyQuest: that did work(signing in as root)
[20:56:00] j-rod: CyberKnet, not likely before Saturday, but sometime soon...
[20:56:00] j-rod: really, its pretty much just s/FC3/FC4/g
[20:56:00] CyberKnet: yeah
[20:56:00] j-rod: but do need to test, and I may switch from apt to smart
[20:56:00] j-rod: (which would make everything work for i386 and x86_64
[20:56:00] j-rod: )
[20:57:00] CyberKnet: rather stupid question here WRT FC2 and atrpms. mind if I ask?
[20:57:00] rjune: ask away
[20:58:00] JohnnyQuest: when im in konqueror, if i click on my directorys, i get an error, 'mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda2 is already mounted on/ mount failed
[20:58:00] CyberKnet: I thought I could get the kernel source for my current kernel via "apt source kernel". upon discovering I couldn't, I promptly started wondering why, and noticed that there wasn't anything in the atrpms repository any more for kernel
[20:58:00] CyberKnet: for FC2
[20:58:00] CyberKnet: do you have any insight into that?
[20:58:00] sphing: what kernel do you have?
[20:59:00] CyberKnet: right now I am running 2.6.10–1.771_FC2
[21:00:00] j-rod: The kernel comes from Red Hat
[21:00:00] j-rod: not ATrpms
[21:00:00] CyberKnet: was it always such?
[21:01:00] BMOC: oooh, fc4 is available
[21:01:00] j-rod: in the FC1 days, ATrpms offered kernels with a lot more functionality
[21:01:00] j-rod: 99% of it is in the stock FC 2.6 kernels now
[21:01:00] Beirdo: the FC1 days ain't over
[21:01:00] Beirdo: :)
[21:01:00] j-rod: okay, when FC1 was the latest FC release then. :)
[21:02:00] Beirdo: hehe
[21:02:00] CyberKnet: does atrpms ivtv rpm support the -500?
[21:02:00] j-rod: I *think* apt-get kernel-source still worked on FC2

[21:02:00] j-rod: for FC3 and later, apt-get source kernel
[21:02:00] JohnnyQuest: what does this mean?
[21:02:00] j-rod: or rather, apt-get source kernel=<kernel version>
[21:02:00] JohnnyQuest: Unable to open lockfile!
[21:02:00] JohnnyQuest: video/recordings/ /nfslockfile.lock: No such file or directory
[21:03:00] j-rod: seems whatever user you're running as still doesn't have r/w on /video/recordings/
[21:03:00] JohnnyQuest: well, that would be root...
[21:03:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: I think it doesn't. I'll check again.
[21:03:00] JohnnyQuest: now
[21:03:00] JohnnyQuest: i had it on mythtv
[21:04:00] JohnnyQuest: neither are working..
[21:04:00] Beirdo: JohnnyQuest: you using NFS?
[21:04:00] JohnnyQuest: no
[21:04:00] Beirdo: OK
[21:04:00] amax is now known as amax_
[21:04:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: I think I will have to apt-get install kernel-sourcecode
[21:04:00] j-rod: oh yeah
[21:04:00] Beirdo: if you were, you have to be careful with mapping root between the machines properly, that's all
[21:04:00] j-rod: that too
[21:04:00] JohnnyQuest: what is nfs?
[21:05:00] Cardoe: god I hate my web host.
[21:05:00] JohnnyQuest: just to be sure im not using it
[21:05:00] sphing: network filesystem
[21:05:00] JohnnyQuest: then no
[21:05:00] JohnnyQuest: this is all one mythbox, frontend and backend
[21:05:00] BMOC (freak@cable-68-185-233-28.sli.la.charter.com) has joined #mythtv-users

[21:05:00] j-rod: brute force method: chmod -R 777 /video/
[21:05:00] BMOC: hmm, ivtv said something about "encoder firmware may be buggy, try a newer"
[21:05:00] BMOC: you can upgrade the firmware on 150mce?
[21:05:00] j-rod: ignore that firmware message
[21:05:00] JohnnyQuest: what does BMOC stand for?
[21:05:00] BMOC: big man on campus
[21:05:00] BMOC: haha
[21:06:00] hadeees: i always see that firmware thing
[21:06:00] JohnnyQuest: that was a show at my school
[21:06:00] Cardoe: hadeees: I plan on it
[21:06:00] JohnnyQuest: that was on tv..
[21:06:00] BMOC: so there is not a newer firmware?
[21:06:00] JohnnyQuest: still get the error
[21:06:00] j-rod: there might be
[21:06:00] JohnnyQuest: i think i messed up my partitions...
[21:06:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: Is atrpms ivtv far behind in terms of releases that support the pvr-500, or will I want to be compiling ivtv from source?
[21:06:00] JohnnyQuest: when installing...
[21:06:00] j-rod: JohnnyQuest, does /video/recordings exist?
[21:07:00] j-rod: atrpms builds new ivtv versions fairly regularly
[21:07:00] JohnnyQuest: /video does, not sure about/recordings
[21:07:00] j-rod: just need at-testing enabled to get the latest ones
[21:07:00] hadeees: okay so on a frontend do I need a live tv buffer?
[21:07:00] j-rod: mkdir /video/recordings
[21:07:00] hadeees: i have a seprate backend
[21:07:00] j-rod: chown mythtv /video/recordings
[21:08:00] sphing: hadeees: all files are stored on the backend
[21:08:00] reel: has anyone in here used ndiswrapper to get wireless cards working?
[21:08:00] j-rod: fook, I can't even get to atrpms right now...
[21:09:00] reel: j-rod: there has been some odd IP blocking going on recently. we have been using a .fr mirror
[21:09:00] j-rod: at least, not from work
[21:09:00] CyberKnet: I was just browsing the website
[21:09:00] j-rod: yeah, I can get there from home
[21:09:00] hadeees: hmm so how should i partion my 40 Gig hard drive to be used on a frontend
[21:09:00] CyberKnet: so I'll want the 0.3.x series with the 500?
[21:09:00] j-rod: was doing a dist-upgrade yesterday, I think that got me blocked
[21:09:00] j-rod: CyberKnet, yeah
[21:09:00] JohnnyQuest: still get the error

[21:10:00] BMOC: after my reboot
[21:10:00] j-rod: some issues w/the 350 running along side the others for some people
[21:10:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, someone said before that their second tuner in the pvr500 didn't work when their pvr350 was in

[21:11:00] CyberKnet: I have a couple of m179's that I'd like to run alongside the 500 for a few days, but if I cant then it's no big deal.
[21:11:00] JohnnyQuest: how can i check if my partions are correct?
[21:11:00] hadeees: so anyway i got 40 gigs for my mythtv frontend and i can't think of how to partion it? seems like i only need a root
[21:11:00] j-rod: was actually in on jonK's box myself, can't figure out why the hell it isn't working. I had a 500 and a 350 in the same box and they worked fine.
[21:11:00] j-rod: hadeees, yeah, really doesn't matter a whole lot
[21:11:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, you were the one who asked me about buying those m179's no?
[21:11:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: wow. dodged a bullet there. I almost bought one of those cards from him.
[21:11:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: sure was.
[21:12:00] j-rod: m179s along side 500 might be an issue, mchou had some problems with that combo
[21:12:00] hadeees: j-rod, did jonk try diffrent pci slots?
[21:12:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, still planing on that? :P
[21:12:00] j-rod: that was my latest suggestion (different pci slots)
[21:12:00] j-rod: CyberKnet, I think the cards are just fine.
[21:12:00] sphing: that worked for me amazingly rnough
[21:12:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: well there's no way I'll need four tuners =)
[21:12:00] j-rod: if he pulls the 350, the 500 is fine
[21:12:00] sphing: for like 2 weeks my 250 would not work...
[21:12:00] BMOC: sphing: you see what i put?
[21:13:00] JohnnyQuest: is there a way to check if my partions are correct?
[21:13:00] BMOC: livetv is working now
[21:13:00] BMOC: after i rebooted with sticking ivtv stuff in mythtvbackend script
[21:13:00] sphing: BMOC: yea.. i'm just not sure thats a "fix" if it will happen again later
[21:13:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, when ya thinking you'd be ready to sell?
[21:13:00] hadeees: j-rod, i bet whats going on with jonks is two things going for the same resource, did he turn on ivtv debug to 255
[21:13:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: only Beirdo needs four analog tuners... and Lord only knows why.
[21:13:00] kormoc: hehe
[21:13:00] sphing: BMOC: hmm you weren't loading ivtv before myth?
[21:13:00] Beirdo: hehhe
[21:13:00] Beirdo: eat me
[21:13:00] BMOC: i was
[21:13:00] BMOC: i have no idea, it's very sporadic
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: I'm gonna try to get the 500 working this weekend. I'm not in a hurry to sell, but again I'm also not in a hurry to hold on to them once it is working.
[21:14:00] BMOC: Beirdo: do you know anything about the upgrade firmware message?
[21:14:00] hadeees: i have 3 and i would like more, its just so when you are recording like 3 shows at once you can watch one
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: if that makes sense...
[21:14:00] Beirdo: I have no idea what you are talking about
[21:14:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, so likly in a week or so?
[21:14:00] j-rod: hadeees, it seems to be something with saa7127 trying to load on the 500's first tuner, despite being told not to
[21:14:00] sphing: CyberKnet: so you'd have 3 tuners o nthe same machine?
[21:14:00] j-rod: probably should crank up the debug level...
[21:14:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, and how much were they sgain? :P
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: in all probability. But if you're not ready by then then I'm not worried. I'm not about to sell them out from under you.
[21:14:00] BMOC: it says "firmware may be buggy, upgrade to blah"
[21:15:00] BMOC: when ivtv is loaded
[21:15:00] kormoc: yay
[21:15:00] reel: hadeees: can't you just watch one on the tv or do you not have a tv?
[21:15:00] CyberKnet: sphing: four tuners. three cards.
[21:15:00] sphing: ugh... thats sick
[21:15:00] SarahEmm: BMOC: mine does too, but then works fine
[21:15:00] sphing: how many frontends?
[21:15:00] hadeees: reel, i have a TV but you can't do pausing and what not
[21:15:00] j-rod: hm, suggests upgrading now... that's new...
[21:15:00] CyberKnet: sphing: You know, I just got through saying that I'm not keeping two cards...
[21:15:00] j-rod: (maybe)
[21:16:00] BMOC: i didn't know if there's an upgrade available
[21:16:00] reel: ah, that stuff isn't as important for me. i'd rather be rid of commercials and watch late. the only thing i am worried about is two shows being on at once
[21:16:00] sphing: CyberKnet: ahh
[21:17:00] reel: i'll end up just watching one and suffering through commercials
[21:17:00] hadeees: reel, you save time if you wait for the commericals to be cut out, it only takes 20mins to watch a 30 min show
[21:18:00] CyberKnet: sphing: but Beirdo on the other hand has four tuners and has no intentions of letting any go.
[21:18:00] reel: yep. i love it. it is just so rare that there are 2 non-repeat shows on that i want to watch
[21:18:00] Beirdo: I have 3
[21:18:00] sphing: Beirdo: how fast is your backend?
[21:18:00] Beirdo: put down the sheep :)
[21:18:00] Beirdo: it's also the frontend
[21:19:00] Beirdo: and it's Sempron 2800
[21:19:00] Beirdo: not like you need that much power for hardware encoders
[21:19:00] ** SarahEmm on a 1.7 celeron which is maxed out for live tv **
[21:20:00] reel: i'd worry about other limitations when recording on all 3 at once

[21:49:00] hadeees: i have like 5 now
[21:50:00] JohnnyQuest: i have 4
[21:50:00] sphing: 6 here ;)
[21:50:00] j-rod: about 20 here
[21:50:00] JohnnyQuest: im 18
[21:50:00] j-rod: well, at home
[21:50:00] j-rod: 150 at work
[21:50:00] hadeees: j-rod, 20?
[21:50:00] sphing: i lie... i have fucked up ram
[21:50:00] j-rod: yup
[21:50:00] hadeees: why do you need that much
[21:50:00] sphing: jrod 150 at work...
[21:50:00] sphing: your a sysadmin..
[21:50:00] j-rod: I don't
[21:50:00] hadeees: so what do they do
[21:50:00] LedHed: I have 10
[21:50:00] sphing: those don't count
[21:50:00] j-rod: Only 12 are up and running in the house right now
[21:50:00] j-rod: two router/firewall machines
[21:50:00] sphing: seti?
[21:50:00] j-rod: file server
[21:50:00] j-rod: build server
[21:51:00] j-rod: myth mbe
[21:51:00] hadeees: i got like one file server, a web server, a router, a mythtv frontend, mythtv backend, and a laptop
[21:51:00] j-rod: three remote frontends
[21:51:00] j-rod: my linux workstation
[21:51:00] j-rod: my mac workstation
[21:51:00] hadeees: i guess that is 6
[21:51:00] j-rod: my windows box
[21:51:00] j-rod: my laptop, my wife's laptop
[21:51:00] j-rod: and a few test machines
[21:51:00] JohnnyQuest: jrod, any ideas for my problem?
[21:51:00] hadeees: j-rod, get one really fast machine and use vmware server
[21:52:00] j-rod: nope
[21:52:00] hadeees: thats what i do for testing
[21:52:00] j-rod: I have vmware too
[21:52:00] FITH: 1 sun, 3 RS/6000's, 8 x86's, 1 AMD64.... jeez... I need a life :-/
[21:52:00] j-rod: but vmware can't directly access hardware
[21:52:00] ** sphing rubs his balls... i am man **
[21:52:00] hadeees: j-rod, i think it can if you set it up right and second how offten do you need that
[21:52:00] j-rod: often
[21:52:00] j-rod: and no it can't
[21:53:00] j-rod: (most hardware, anyhow — it can for crap like USB)
[21:53:00] hadeees: i think server does it
[21:53:00] hadeees: vmware server isn't like normal vmware
[21:53:00] hadeees: vmware server is the base os
[21:53:00] hadeees: in a way
[21:54:00] j-rod: ah, sorry, was thinking vmware workstation
[21:54:00] LedHed: 4 frontends, 1 backend, 1 Win Domain Controller, 1 Firewall (smoothwall), 3 Workstations. (I also have 4 others that only run when the renderfarm is in use)
[21:55:00] hadeees: LedHed, why in the world do you have a win domain controller
[21:55:00] LedHed: I use windows
[21:55:00] hadeees: yeah but there are other options then that even with windows
[21:56:00] hadeees: like linux
[21:56:00] hadeees: can't samba do that
[21:56:00] LedHed: Samba doesnt do Group Policy
[21:56:00] j-rod: its a pita to set up under linux
[21:56:00] hadeees: eh i run all linux all the time
[21:56:00] LedHed: also the renderfarm wouldnt run under linux till just rescently
[21:56:00] j-rod: Linux and Mac OS X here
[21:57:00] LedHed: I have some appz that are Win Only
[21:57:00] LedHed: 3dsMax & Autocad
[21:57:00] hadeees: j-rod, i hope to be liux and Mac OSx
[21:57:00] hadeees: LedHed, what version of autocad?
[21:57:00] LedHed: In the process of re-training myself for Maya

[21:59:00] CyberKnet: those dongles were a PITA
[21:59:00] JohnnyQuest: i use autocad all the time
[21:59:00] hadeees: j-rod, have fun
[21:59:00] hadeees: thats why i am a dev
[21:59:00] j-rod: (including 5x 128-node clusters)
[22:00:00] JohnnyQuest: u want a copy of it hadees?

[22:00:00] CyberKnet: JohnnyQuest: I'm sure you didn't just offer ti pirate software in here, did you?
[22:00:00] LedHed: I wish there was a good CAD package for Linux
[22:00:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[22:00:00] JohnnyQuest: no
[22:00:00] JohnnyQuest: not at all
[22:00:00] LedHed: Autocad use to run on Unix
[22:00:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: yeah :|
[22:00:00] hadeees: LedHed, really? i didn't know that
[22:01:00] LedHed: r12
[22:01:00] CyberKnet: JohnnyQuest: Make sure you keep not offering to. It's hard enough to ensure nobody thinks Myth is doing something illegal without having to fight piracy as well.
[22:01:00] LedHed: Autodesk climbed in bed with Microsoft about 1996 and dumped the Unix suport
[22:01:00] ** j-rod loves clusters! **
[22:01:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: I wish I knew how to use CAD period. =)
[22:02:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: go you =)
[22:02:00] LedHed: Its easy, If you can use Linux you can do CAD!
[22:02:00] ** CyberKnet imagines clustered OC48's plugged into his box **
[22:02:00] j-rod: heh
[22:02:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, bah you worry to much plus there is little diffrence in the end result between what MythTV does and what TV piracey is.
[22:02:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: maybe. I had a crappy windows CAD program. maybe TurboCad 8 I think.
[22:02:00] j-rod: myrinet and inifiniband between the cluster nodes, but not sure what the incoming pipe is...
[22:03:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: My myth box is *just* a vcr. that's it.
[22:03:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: myrinet is a wonder =)
[22:03:00] LedHed: If you apply your self for a day or so, you can learn 75% of Autocad.
[22:03:00] j-rod: infiniband is even better
[22:03:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, yeah but what i am saying is like say i Record the O.C. and someone downloads a copy of the O.C. we both end up with the same show with out commericals
[22:03:00] CyberKnet: j-rod: and used in so many places for so many things. it's as versatile as hypertransport.
[22:04:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: yes, but you did it legally.
[22:04:00] j-rod: http://linuxnetworx.com/evolocity/
[22:04:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: they took programming from a source tehy had no right to.
[22:04:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: You'll have to write a tutorial on it some time for me =)
[22:05:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, i am not saying you are incorrect but i think that there is a case that there is really no diffrence between recording a show and downloading one
[22:05:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: I tried to render a boring old cog in TurboCad... it looked like ass =)

[22:06:00] JohnnyQuest: im having trouble, my mythfrontend cant connect to the mythbackend server (they are the same machine)
[22:06:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, so then the question is could you replace a show you recorded with a show you downloaded
[22:06:00] ** j-rod can't wait to start his new job... **
[22:06:00] rtsai: hadeees: the difference is that most broadcasts say that "this broadcast may not be distributed ... blah blah". In both cases you have a copy of the show, but in the myth case, you haven't done any distribution
[22:06:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: the answer to that is categorically no.
[22:06:00] ** j-rod has to mention it to someone at least once every hour **
[22:06:00] LedHed: I have a very off topic question. I'm having a house built and I have all the Networking, CATV, Telephone run to my Office Closet. WHere I plan to run my Servers, Backend, Firewall, Renderfarm. Its a 9'x2.5' closet. Should I put in a bathroom exhaust fan, or go with a portable AC?
[22:07:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: it's not even a grey area.
[22:07:00] rtsai: j-rod: that you like your new job, or that downloading is illegal? :)
[22:07:00] j-rod: 13 days and closing
[22:07:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: I'd go with the AC.
[22:07:00] j-rod: heh. new job. ;)

[22:08:00] j-rod: so has the fact that Daniel Robbins (Gentoo founder) took a job at Microsoft already been discussed to death here?
[22:08:00] rtsai: meh
[22:08:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, it is all sort of moot anyway because once MythTV can always record at a level equal to that or above that of the shows that can be downloaded then everyone will just use mythtv
[22:08:00] rtsai: one less gentoo ricer
[22:08:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: it comes down to "does the person who gaev this to me have the right to givei t to me?" of the answer is "no" then the answer to "can I have this?" is also "no".
[22:08:00] GreyFoxx: j-rod: I haven't seen it mentioned here yet :)
[22:08:00] j-rod: he's the HEAD ricer!
[22:08:00] rtsai: d00d!
[22:08:00] CyberKnet: wow. that's some BAD typing =)
[22:09:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, but what if you already had it
[22:09:00] LedHed: I cant fond an In-Wall AC small enough, but there is a portable at Costco for $530. Anyone know if the Portable AC units are Noisy?
[22:09:00] rtsai: He must have mAd USE_FLAGS!!!!!!
[22:09:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: "Does the person who gave this to me have the right to give it to me?"
[22:09:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, those are kind of things that can get laws struct down in cort
[22:09:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: No, ergo No.
[22:09:00] j-rod: He describes his new job as "helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects".
[22:09:00] JohnnyQuest: they are noisy
[22:09:00] rtsai: hadeees: that's like a murderer saying "he was going to die someday anyway, so if I killed him, the end result is the same".
[22:10:00] JohnnyQuest: but they work well
[22:10:00] JohnnyQuest: but they have to blow the hot air out the window
[22:10:00] j-rod: opensolaris.org open for business...
[22:10:00] hadeees: rtsai, no it would be more like i already killed him so i kill him the result is the same
[22:11:00] JohnnyQuest: anyone know the fix for this? i have a high pitched sound from live tv on my pvr-150
[22:11:00] hadeees: listen i have a degree in Criminal Justice and I know the law states that it is illegal but what i am saying is the law might not hold up under all possible circumstances
[22:11:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: That is true. The law is only there at the whim of the people.
[22:12:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, well alot of the law is based on intent
[22:12:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: if the people decide the law is bunk, then the law will not be law for long.
[22:12:00] JohnnyQuest: whim of the coorporations..
[22:12:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, thats why untill recently it wasn't a crime if you didn't make money off it
[22:12:00] CyberKnet: hadeees: yes, but that would be going into matters far too deep for this channel =)
[22:13:00] CyberKnet: JohnnyQuest: The corporations cannot vote.
[22:13:00] rtsai: I don't believe strongly enough in my supposed right to distribute my MythTV recordings to waste time in court when I could be watching my MythTV recordings.
[22:13:00] CyberKnet: JohnnyQuest: It is the whim of the people.
[22:13:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, well i think it does have to do with MythTV some what because sharing shows with friends should be okay
[22:13:00] JohnnyQuest: no but they can fund who you vote for...
[22:13:00] CyberKnet: JohnnyQuest: who *you* vote for.
[22:13:00] rtsai: If you believe so, then go for it.
[22:13:00] JohnnyQuest: and fund commercials and propaganda
[22:13:00] CyberKnet: if you dont vote for them, they can't be elected.
[22:13:00] CyberKnet: it is at the whim of the people.
[22:13:00] hadeees: CyberKnet, except they give money to both sides

[22:16:00] JohnnyQuest: i think it doesnt matter, you dont get much of a say in it

[22:23:00] JohnnyQuest: how do i see which drivers i installed?
[22:23:00] LedHed: I chalk it up to being a shitty switch
[22:23:00] SarahEmm: JohnnyQuest: what distro?
[22:23:00] CyberKnet: LedHed: essentially the same thing, yes =)
[22:24:00] SarahEmm: JohnnyQuest: or did you buidl from source?

[22:25:00] LedHed: or something like that
[22:25:00] j-rod: Avocent AV200R KVM switches are NICE
[22:25:00] j-rod: but a wee bit more than $140
[22:25:00] LedHed: mine is a Avocent 4 port USB KVM with Audio
[22:25:00] LedHed: all is good except Audio
[22:26:00] j-rod: AV200R is a 16-port IP-enabled KVM
[22:26:00] LedHed: now you are talkin real $$$$
[22:26:00] j-rod: can cascade them together, get console access remotely, etc
[22:26:00] ** Beirdo adds to the heat load for the AC in the apartment **
[22:26:00] j-rod: client even works under Linux
[22:26:00] j-rod: yeah, a few grand per switch and all the dongles
[22:27:00] LedHed: overkill for my 10 computers
[22:27:00] j-rod: much nicer than having to go down 29 floors and back up 4 to get a console here. :)

[22:50:00] Kronuz: GeckoFiend: :( ...I was trying to trace the differences, but somewhere in the middle I missed the point where the default argument (fade stuff in/out) gets overruled (I guess the frontend is using the same library as the mythuitest (the new one)
[22:50:00] SarahEmm: that'll start runlevel1 and use /bin/sh as your init
[22:50:00] SarahEmm: should let you fix stuff

[22:50:00] Kronuz: that fade in/out looks really cool :)

[23:06:00] Kronuz: GeckoFiend: is there an architecture document about mythtv?

[23:08:00] rjune: kormoc: slightly
[23:08:00] rjune: actually its not that bad.
[23:08:00] rjune: I've already been putzing through it
[23:08:00] Kronuz: well, source code is not bad, but I was wondering if there was an overview of the whole architecture
[23:09:00] Kronuz: like what modules there are and what files are part of what modules
[23:09:00] Kronuz: and how modules interact
[23:11:00] Kronuz: for instance, is LiveTV handled in a module or plugin-like fashion? or is it just integrated in the main code
[23:11:00] XAD|off: Kronuz, there is an overview but not that detailed... (I have been looking for one too)... http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs427/MythTV+Architecture+Overview
[23:12:00] Kronuz: XAD: thanks, I'll have a look :)
[23:12:00] abarbaccia: okay – why is it that when i go to use lirc, it dies right when i go to use it – i've had this error before and just forgot why it does this

[23:19:00] XAD|off: Well, it would be nice with a an overview of the mythbackend and frontend "internal" architecture, incl. info such as how the cache file is used, buffers, ...
[23:20:00] Kronuz: yep :)
[23:20:00] XAD|off: how the plugins are connected to the rest and how they use the "display"...
[23:22:00] Kronuz: exactly, I belive not only it would make it easier for new developers to understand mythtv internals, but it would alow better understanding of the system as a whole for current developers and easier detection of bugs/improvement points
[23:22:00] XAD|off: I have a problem with buffers on my frontend and would need this type of info to debug (what is the protocol for the frontend to request data from the backend, how much data, how is forward and rewind communicated, ...)
[23:23:00] XAD|off: is the data transfered using a standard streaming protocol and if not, why??
[23:24:00] XAD|off: so many questions, so little time... ;-)
[23:24:00] SarahEmm: Kronuz: except that it's probably constantly changing ;)
[23:24:00] XAD|off: + how is the scheduling handled... in context with the other modules...
[23:24:00] XAD|off: Sarah, the core is not changing that often, is it??
[23:24:00] XAD|off is now known as XAD|on
[23:25:00] Kronuz: I've been digging the code myself... I've spend many hours reading code to understand things that could have otherwise been understood in minutes having a document explaining stuff
[23:26:00] XAD|on: Kronuz, why don't you write it down... even if it's in note form... maybee we can start to structure it??
[23:26:00] Kronuz: that would be good
[23:26:00] XAD|on: starting with the core stuff...
[23:27:00] Kronuz: XAD, you and I can start making a document for MythTV architecture and on the way we can begin to fully understand everything
[23:27:00] Kronuz: :)
[23:27:00] XAD|on: Kronuz, did you read the link??
[23:27:00] Kronuz: yep
[23:27:00] XAD|on: it's sort of a starting point.. or what do you think??
[23:27:00] Kronuz: it's more of an overview of the networking architecture of MythTV
[23:28:00] Kronuz: but yes, I guess we can start from there
[23:28:00] Kronuz: tho' I would suggest developers to consider splitting the frontend and the backend in two directories :P
[23:28:00] Kronuz: (or three if they use common stuff)
[23:29:00] Chutt: um, they are
[23:29:00] rtsai: they *are* split in two directories (actually, many directories)
[23:29:00] ** rtsai defers to Chutt **
[23:29:00] Chutt: libmyth for the common stuff, libmythtv for the common tv related stuff, mythfrontend for, uh. the frontend
[23:29:00] Kronuz: yeah, that's the problem I saw... too many directories (and I got lost) :P
[23:29:00] Chutt: and mythbackend for the backend
[23:29:00] Chutt: how?
[23:29:00] Chutt: they're all rather simply named
[23:30:00] XAD|on: yepp but "we" (n00bs) need to know the relationship between them...
[23:30:00] Chutt: erm, just look at how they're linked
[23:30:00] Kronuz: yeah, it's not a big problem, but I mean, it could be easier so we can figure out how things are structured
[23:30:00] Kronuz: like having just mythfrontend and mythbackend directories
[23:31:00] Chutt: programs/mythfrontend
[23:31:00] Chutt: programs/mythbackend
[23:31:00] XAD|on: also you have a lot of stuff in the libs... and a map of what "programs" are using what libs would also help..
[23:31:00] Chutt: how much simpler could it fucking be?
[23:31:00] XAD|on: Chutt... sorry but the doc we talk about is not for you... ;-)
[23:32:00] Chutt: apparently it's for people that aren't going to be contributing anything
[23:32:00] rjune: Chutt: well, you could come over to my place and explain it all over a case of beer
[23:32:00] Chutt: because if they can't figure out that the 'programs' subdirectory is for programs, well...
[23:32:00] XAD|on: Chutt you miss the point...
[23:32:00] Chutt: no, i don't
[23:33:00] rjune: Chutt: can i tell frontend to start up in the media library?
[23:33:00] Kronuz: but I mean having mythfrontend and mythbackend and inside those everything to build the backend and the frontend independtly
[23:33:00] Chutt: i don't see how the directory layout is confusing
[23:33:00] Chutt: kronuz, that would defeat the point of sharing code
[23:33:00] Chutt: rjune, nope
[23:33:00] Kronuz: not really, if you need to share common stuff, you then need a third "common" directory
[23:33:00] Chutt: kronuz, there is one
[23:33:00] Chutt: it's called 'libs'
[23:34:00] XAD|on: Kronuz, lets take the discussion of line... this discussion is useless as apparently everything is chrystal clear...
[23:34:00] rjune: Chutt: crap. that would be a good thing
[23:34:00] Chutt: rjune, why? :p
[23:34:00] Kronuz: exactly, but are things inside libs part of both the backend and the front end?
[23:34:00] Chutt: kronuz, yes, else they wouldn't be in libs
[23:35:00] GeckoFiend: Kronuz frontend code in the frontend backend code in the backend and common code in the libs
[23:35:00] Chutt: there wouldn't be a point in making something common if it weren't going to be shared, now, would there?
[23:35:00] Kronuz: I see... It's nota big deal, and I'm only suggesting what I felt is missing... but if we get a good document started then probably changing the directories won't be needed
[23:35:00] Chutt: right, but 'what you felt is missing' is entirely a problem on your end
[23:35:00] XAD|on: Well Chutt's point is if you don't know it then you aren't suppose to... ;-)
[23:36:00] Chutt: you said it should have a directory for the frontend
[23:36:00] Chutt: <gasp> there is one
[23:36:00] Chutt: you said there should be a common directory for shared code
[23:36:00] Chutt: there is one of those, too
[23:36:00] rjune: Chutt: because I could have a frontend that could only do media library stuff. aka, it doesn't need anything else
[23:36:00] Kronuz: right, 'cause as you've said so, Chutt, probably we already have a good directory structure, its just that it's unknown and a bit hard to get to new developers :)
[23:36:00] Chutt: rjune, ah, well, you could just not restart it :p
[23:36:00] XAD|on: so progfind is not in backend nor frontend... nice...
[23:36:00] rjune: ?
[23:36:00] Chutt: xad|on, no, it's not
[23:37:00] Chutt: that's a separate test program
[23:37:00] simon_c (~simon@geordie.demon.co.uk) has left #mythtv-users
[23:37:00] Chutt: which you'd see if you ran it
[23:37:00] XAD|on: mythtv is also somewhere else??
[23:37:00] Chutt: also a separate test program
[23:37:00] Chutt: which is why it's a separate directory
[23:37:00] XAD|on: OK, so these all could be in a "test" map??
[23:38:00] Chutt: no, they couldn't
[23:38:00] Chutt: then people like you wouldn't be able to find them
[23:38:00] XAD|on: as they aren't normally needed??
[23:38:00] Chutt: rjune, if you don't restart the frontend, it doesn't matter where it starts at :p
[23:38:00] XAD|on: but why would I need it if I only run frontend and backend??
[23:38:00] Chutt: xad|on, why do you need the backend if all you run is the frontend?
[23:39:00] rjune: Chutt: I'm missing something. I want to start the frontend in the media library menu, you're saying it doesnt' matter, just don't restart the frontend?
[23:39:00] Chutt: rjune, oh, you want it to start in the menu?
[23:39:00] Chutt: just edit the xml files
[23:40:00] Chutt: you just can't have it start somewhere other than a menu
[23:40:00] rjune: Chutt: Ahhh, gotcha,
[23:41:00] rjune: the xml files describe the menu then, so I can recreate them at will, great
[23:41:00] Chutt: yup
[23:41:00] rjune: and I assume I can tell the frontend which xml file to use for it's main menu, ya?
[23:42:00] Chutt: the filename's fixed
[23:42:00] Chutt: mainmenu.xml
[23:42:00] Chutt: but, doesn't matter what's in that
[23:42:00] rjune: in what dir?
[23:42:00] Chutt: locate mainmenu.xml
