[00:04:07] ** LLyric signs **
[00:04:09] LLyric: sighs
[00:04:21] tjcarter: xris: I knew what he meant
[00:04:38] xris: tjcarter: there's also just pressing C
[00:04:42] xris: but yes
[00:04:49] LLyric: I've still got a couple of issues with my mythbox, if anyone can help?
[00:05:22] ** tjcarter guesses he should go talk to people in developer channel for what he's trying to do **
[00:05:42] LLyric: (1) getting HD out of my nvidia card properly, (2) getting DViCO Dual Digital remote working, (3) sometimes records on the same card "just don't start" (myth tries, but it never starts recording).
[00:06:12] LLyric: Anyone got any of those three working properly, and can spare a minute to point me in hte right direction?
[00:06:13] xris: LLyric: why can't you do hd?
[00:07:16] LLyric: When I get TVStandard HD1080i, all the logs look good, and it appears to be drawing right, but every second line(?) is offset by say 50 pixels
[00:07:27] LLyric: Making a "shadow" of everything == blurry
[00:07:46] LLyric: The same thing actually happens in other modes (540i) too
[00:07:53] tjcarter: ah, interlaced
[00:07:55] xris: what kind of interface to the tv?
[00:08:09] xris: LLyric: and why not use 1080p?
[00:08:14] LLyric: TV doesn't support it
[00:08:22] LLyric: Using component video from breakout cable
[00:08:24] xris: what's the res of the tv?
[00:08:30] xris: ah, analog hd. ick.
[00:08:47] LLyric: Hey, I don't have a digital telly, too expensive right now.
[00:09:03] LLyric: I'm sure DVI/HDMI would be much easier :)
[00:09:43] xris: LLyric: better than mine. I don't have any HD.
[00:09:46] LLyric: Anyway, it is what it is.... and the picture from the s-video cable is pretty crappy (compared to my old pvr-350)
[00:09:46] xris: what's the res of the tv?
[00:10:14] xris: most tv's, *especially* analog-only ones, don't go above 720p
[00:10:21] xris: no point in pushing your card to display more than the tv can handle
[00:10:27] LLyric: It definately supports 1080i input
[00:10:35] LLyric: via component
[00:10:36] xris: LLyric: input, yes... but what about output?
[00:10:46] LLyric: I'm not trying to output from tv
[00:10:56] xris: what other use of a tv is there?
[00:10:57] LLyric: My digital settop box -> TV is 1080i
[00:11:03] LLyric: WHich works fine
[00:11:10] LLyric: Okay, picture output :Q
[00:11:48] LLyric: I'm literally pulling the RGB cables from the settop box @ 1080i and plugging them into the nvidia breakout cable, and getting the interlaced/offset issue
[00:11:50] xris: LLyric: yes. what I'm saying is that your tv is probably not actually capable of displaying 1088 lines of resolution.. so shoot for 720p from the mythbox
[00:12:01] LLyric: The tv doesn't support 720p
[00:12:10] LLyric: Only 540p and 1080i
[00:12:10] xris: how can it support 1080 but not 720?
[00:12:14] xris: wtf
[00:12:22] LLyric: SO it's probably got 540 native vertical resolution
[00:12:27] LLyric: And a cheap down converter
[00:13:02] xris: and at that point, I'd recommend getting your mythbox to output the maximum resolution the tv actually displays
[00:13:28] LLyric: Sure, but like I said, I get the same problem with 540p
[00:13:31] xris: ahh
[00:13:43] xris: wait, 540? PAL?
[00:13:46] LLyric: Yes
[00:14:01] xris: and you're forcing the driver to use PAL?
[00:14:25] Aid` (Aid`!n=Aid@sonic.dsnet.us) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:14:35] LLyric: ... Not sure how to do that, the place where I'd normally do "TVStandard PAL-G" is the one that gets changed to "TVStandard HD1080i"
[00:14:48] LLyric: Is HD still pal/ntsc?
[00:15:10] xris: I actually don't know.. if it's 540, that's not hd
[00:16:21] LLyric: That's a matter of definitions. Basically, 1080i looks better on my telly than 540p, so if I can get that, it'd be nice. But even 540p via component would be okay.
[00:16:42] LLyric: But 540 via s-video looks crap. Kindof dark, and a bit blurry.

[00:20:27] xris: well, component is way better than svideo
[00:20:35] xris: but I'm at a loss, sorry
[00:21:30] jams: xris, what is the idea behind the perl bindings?
[00:21:55] jams: will it replace the telnet control stuff?
[00:22:15] xris: jams: no, it's mainly so programs like nuvexport don't have to tie to specific versions of mythtv
[00:22:30] jams: ah
[00:22:44] xris: bindings might actually USE the telnet interface
[00:23:09] jams: more of an api
[00:23:20] xris: y
[00:24:11] ** LLyric waits for 1080p native plasma's to become affordable... **
[00:26:07] xris: why would you want plasma? nasty burn-in
[00:26:27] LLyric: Everyone tells me that's an old story, and they don't do that anymore
[00:26:38] ** LLyric doesn't understand how the settop box can send 1080i fine, and nvidia doesn't. Foo **
[00:26:51] xris: unless they're talking about the last year or so, they definitely get burn in
[00:27:00] xris: I don't know about brand new ones
[00:27:47] LLyric: My TV is 46VW9UA from about halfway down this page. http://www.pymblehifi.com.au/ToshibaTVs.htm

[06:20:39] RandomDude16: Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: Could not open network socket
[06:20:42] RandomDude16: how do I fix that?
[06:20:55] RandomDude16: ive been unable to use the init script
[06:20:59] RandomDude16: to start up mythbackend
[06:21:11] tjcarter: hmm, that's interesting
[06:21:35] tjcarter: whose init script?
[06:21:54] RandomDude16: the one that came with myth
[06:22:24] tjcarter: ah, okay, I don't know if that's the same one that comes with KnoppMyth or not
[06:23:01] tjcarter: ef128c3de0b97da5cc2ad0567bdcd755 /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
[06:23:22] tjcarter: I've heard something about people having trouble with an init script before, but it works by hand
[06:23:53] tjcarter: If that is so for you, and the above md5 differs from yours, I can get you my init script and you can try it, etc
[06:24:43] ** tjcarter grasping at straws since he happens to be sitting here **
[06:24:46] Dagmar: Wouldn't it be easier to have him pastebin(.ca) the contents of the script?
[06:24:52] Dagmar: then we could just look at it
[06:24:52] RandomDude16: brb
[06:25:06] RandomDude16 (RandomDude16!n=RandomDu@3.200.27.24.cfl.res.rr.com) has quit ("Leaving.")
[06:25:45] tjcarter: Dagmar: if it comes with Myth, anyone with source handy can look at it
[06:26:11] Dagmar: Do you have the source? I know I don't.
[06:26:29] Dagmar: I just know my script has quite a lot of bells/whistles and still works
[06:26:33] tjcarter: not handy, no
[06:26:59] Dagmar: I think I'm going to have another go at refining my ffmpeg and transcode packages before I make a release of them
[06:27:16] tjcarter: aren't you (one of?) the KnoppMyth people? Theoretically having the source would help in that case.
[06:27:20] Dagmar: Nope.
[06:27:22] Dagmar: I do Slackware.
[06:27:27] tjcarter: oh
[06:27:38] Dagmar: I figured a clean-room reimplmentation of everything would have eventual uses.
[06:27:45] tjcarter: yeah
[06:27:56] Dagmar: When I get stuck, then I go after other people's code, and if I see anything I've fixed that they haven't, I submit patches
[06:28:17] Dagmar: So far, transcode was by far the worst of the lot, but at least it's not as bad as it was a year ago
[06:28:35] ** tjcarter is in #mythtv talking about making Myth talk for blind people, and a clean-room understanding of Myth would certainly benefit that process. **
[06:28:45] Dagmar: SOme of the reasons I was bitching about authors needing floggings was that their private copies of each other libraries were leading to dreadful symbol collisions.
[06:29:10] Dagmar: Pfft. the hardest thing there is just getting damnable Festival working.
[06:29:19] Dagmar: dmix is proabbly a doddle next to that
[06:29:46] Dagmar: Frankly, I think it would probably be more sensible to use Festival to pre-render short wav files than to use it in realtime
[06:29:55] tjcarter: yeah, I think I'd be using something other than festival
[06:30:03] Dagmar: Festival is about all there is
[06:30:16] tjcarter: DECtalk exists, as does TTSynth, and Cepstral
[06:30:18] Dagmar: ...and as for making it speak Chinese or something, forget it.
[06:30:27] Dagmar: Those all sound fairly hideous tho
[06:30:47] tjcarter: Cepstral is supposedly very good
[06:31:16] tjcarter: And for the blind, DECtalk and TTSynth are pretty much standard.
[06:31:27] Dagmar: I suppose it's good that TTsynth can do Chinese, but beyond that it doesn't sound much better than hoary old SAM for the COmmodore 64.
[06:31:29] tjcarter: though pre-rendered sounds for menus would be good
[06:31:50] tjcarter: SAM wasn't a Klatt engine.
[06:31:50] Dagmar: ...and SAM was *tiny*
[06:32:12] Dagmar: Yeah, but it could do the 83-odd phonemes used in English with no trouble at all.
[06:32:13] tjcarter: Both DECtalk and TTSynth are Klatt designs.
[06:32:43] tjcarter: speak-n-spell
[06:32:44] tjcarter: =)
[06:33:09] tjcarter: <me> Watch TV <Myth> Wrong, try again.
[06:33:16] Dagmar: Looks like about the only benefit of a klatt engine is better intra-syllable smoothing
[06:33:25] tjcarter: yeah
[06:33:36] Dagmar: A big dictionary can accomplish that tho'
[06:33:48] tjcarter: when he came up with it, Klatt's design was revolutionary
[06:34:10] tjcarter: but I still prefer the basic rule synths to Klatt's design because they are 100% predictable.
[06:34:51] tjcarter: they don't try to hard to make a grouping of letters sound "correct", they just say what they see based on English rules.
[06:35:01] tjcarter: much better when editing, but they sound awful.
[06:35:44] LaptopAncient (LaptopAncient!n=LaptopAn@innominatus.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Ooh, look, a shiny object...")
[06:36:13] tjcarter: anyway, the conclusion I think we reached on #mythtv is that we should have sound files prerecorded by some sexy-sounding British girl for English
[06:36:21] tjcarter: for menus and things
[06:36:39] tjcarter: fall back on an external speech program for anything else
[06:36:41] Dagmar: There's a few companies out there that take that route actually.
[06:37:05] tjcarter: that can be festival if you're cheap or DECtalk or Cepstral or whatever you've got.
[06:37:08] Dagmar: They have a voice actor read page after page of pick phrases, and then they chop them all up into phonemes and feed them to a ruleset.
[06:37:27] Dagmar: The thing I like about Festival is that it's painstakingly exact about stuff.

[06:39:42] UbAh: I am using atscscan and I can not get any channels
[06:40:01] UbAh: does anyone know dvb-c?
[06:40:25] Dagmar: tjcarter: Consider this tho'. Myth isn't going to be emitting tons and tons of different phrases. It's only going to be saying a few things. A Klatt engine might be considered severe overkill with such a small problem set for it to solve
[06:40:35] ** tjcarter can't afford to know dvb-c yet =) **
[06:40:50] tjcarter: Dagmar: program guide.
[06:41:20] Dagmar: tjcarter: Okay, that might be somewhat useful there
[06:41:29] tjcarter: exactly
[06:41:46] tjcarter: and Cepstral might even sound somewhat human reading the info pane
[06:43:01] Dagmar: ...provided they can put in a sexy irish accent.
[06:43:24] tjcarter: I am wondering if I can get Heather to do it =)
[06:43:29] Dagmar: Ouch. Cepstral requires licencing
[06:43:33] tjcarter: aussie girl with a wonderful voice
[06:43:35] UbAh: can anyone point me to a more apropiate channel to ask DVB questions in?
[06:43:48] tjcarter: UbAh: this is right place, but probably not right time.

[07:08:15] Dagmar: Okay well that can't be the drivers you installed then
[07:08:30] Dagmar: If you're booting from CD, what's on your hard drive doesn't mean anything anymore
[07:09:19] tjcarter: ender224455_: did you power off the system after it didn't boot from HD?
[07:09:20] ender224455_: that's what I thought
[07:09:30] ender224455_: I held the power button down
[07:09:33] tjcarter: completely, not even just reset button
[07:09:35] tjcarter: okay
[07:09:36] ender224455_: oh
[07:09:36] ender224455_: no
[07:09:40] ender224455_: I just hit reset
[07:09:42] ender224455_: let me try that
[07:09:47] tjcarter: yeah, power off.

[07:30:46] Dagmar: Okay. This is bizarre.
[07:31:15] Dagmar: I went all through the nuvexport code thinking something was being looked on as an offset instead of a measurement (classic reason for things being off by one increment) only to find that it's not

[08:19:48] LoneShadow: so where does MythVideo look for video files on the frontend or backend ?
[08:26:50] xris: front
[08:27:03] LoneShadow: hmm
[08:27:24] LoneShadow: so backend cant stream external video files to the front end
[08:27:39] xris: no
[08:27:58] LoneShadow: ok so nfs mount it is :D
[08:28:05] Dagmar: Yep
[08:28:08] xris: all of the plugins are frontend-only
[08:28:10] xris: at least for now
[08:28:50] Dagmar: Hey xris, in nuvexportrc was there a reason you set the default width to 624 pixels instead of 680?
[08:28:56] Dagmar: er 640
[08:29:13] xris: Dagmar: most of the pirated stuff I found uses 624
[08:29:21] Dagmar: Oh okay
[08:29:28] xris: and that gives room to chop off 2% or so of the broadcast overscan
[08:29:59] Dagmar: I was wondering about that, I couldn't fathom it
[08:30:03] xris: my own encodes are actually down to 512x384 because digital cable broadcasts at weird resolutions like 528x480 and 328x480
[08:30:37] Dagmar: Ah, I'm mainly going for "just" 640x480 to reduce the amount of rescaling during playback.
[08:31:16] xris: rescaling is such a minor thing
[08:31:59] Dagmar: Rescaling by larger numbers is. I don't like how really weird things tend to pop up when one does a very small rescale.
[08:32:25] Dagmar: Too many times I've gotten images with one pixel notably wider than the rest, so I avoid rescaling unless it can be done by a reasonably large amount
[08:33:08] xris: ah
[08:33:13] xris: I've never seen a problem
[08:33:50] xris: but. that's why it's all handled in user settings.
[08:34:00] xris: I don't actually use the defaults anymore.
[08:34:08] Dagmar: I used to do a lot of pixel scribbling, and rescaling those things gets nasty sometimes
[08:34:21] xris: but with cropping, I'd rather resize down than up... 640 – 4% -> 640 is upscaling.
[08:34:45] xris: yes, but moving video is a different thing entirely
[08:34:45] Dagmar: I'm just not cropping at all if I can help it
[08:35:14] Dagmar: I'm trying to see whether or not my card is doing "the right thing" by recording stuff, and then going and getting a PD rip from someone, and selecting a few easy to spot frames to do a color comparison
[08:35:21] xris: all of my recordings have a 1–2% border of extra signal. no point in wasting bits encoding it.
[08:35:40] xris: all analog recordings have it
[08:35:45] xris: and apparently the digital ones do, too
[08:36:41] Dagmar: BTW, you'll probably find this amusing
[08:37:05] Dagmar: To figure out where that 624 was coming from I ran nuvexport using perl's masochistic tracing
[08:37:21] Dagmar: It only took about an hour and a half to figure out that I was an idiot.
[08:37:46] Dagmar: I regret ever having looked up what that switch was again

[09:04:21] LoneShadow: tjcarter: its a video conferencing app over voip

[09:08:41] tjcarter: LoneShadow: I repeat my earlier statement that I did not know SIP protocols could handle that.
[09:10:07] tjcarter: quality can't be that great if broadvoice's handling of audio only calls is an indication

[09:10:48] mchou: that's most likely broadvoice's fault
[09:11:15] mchou: not some sort of "physical" limitation......

[12:31:39] raz_: I have a question that's not quite MythTV related (at least, I think it's not), but I'm guessing that someone here will have some idea. Somewhere I've seen a device about the size of a trade-paperback which has an Ethernet connection, a TV/composite out, has _NO_ moving parts, can render an MPEG (or similar stream) to the TV and can by controlled by/run Linux. Has anyone here heard of such a device?
[12:32:03] LLyric: Yes
[12:32:15] raz_: OK, do you recall any specifics?
[12:33:04] raz_: (Make, model, ...)?
[12:33:13] LLyric: The one I saw had a digital tuner, recorded to a hard-disk, appeared as a usb2 storage device. Was about AU$120 iirc
[12:33:41] LLyric: So, moving parts
[12:34:12] LLyric: I guess if it wasn't being recorded, and was simple being tuned and sent to the tv, it wouldn't use the disk
[12:34:22] LLyric: Then it'd essentially be a small settop box
[12:35:12] raz_: A small settop box is pretty much what I'm thinking of, yes. My desire is a silent (not quiet, silent) box for the living room, atop the TV I guess, which could access material stored on a fileserver elsewhere in the house.
[12:37:29] LLyric: Well, you can get fanless EPIA motherboard/chips (I have one), which can net-boot linux etc, and I guess you can get laptop-style power supplies for them, which would be totally silent
[12:37:57] LLyric: But my case has a (small) conventional power supply which is a bit noisy. PLus 800Mhz is a bit slow
[12:38:20] raz_: That's certainly an approach. For the settop box though, I'm more interested in an off-the-shelf device; are such devices known to work with MythTV?

[12:38:32] LLyric: No way
[12:38:40] raz_: Oh.
[12:39:47] raz_: In that case, the EPIA option: my looking at mini-itx.com and other places suggests that these devices are going to run far more than AU$120, and usually be somewhat larger anyway.
[12:40:04] LLyric: Yes
[12:40:22] sadawson: I have a small problem with my new mythtv-backend install
[12:40:34] sadawson: when I run mythtv-backend I get htis error mssage
[12:40:34] raz_: Hmm.
[12:40:35] sadawson: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[12:40:52] sadawson: where is it that you set the username and password mythtv must use?
[12:40:54] LLyric: sadawson: that's like myth101. You need to enable to user in mysql
[12:41:05] LLyric: ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
[12:41:13] sadawson: awesome
[12:41:27] LLyric: That sets the *client*
[12:41:36] LLyric: You also need to create that "account" in the mysql box
[12:42:46] raz_: This seems to me like one of those "I'm surprised that no-one's solved it yet" problems. Thanks for your comments.

[12:43:31] LLyric: And it's pretty much possible, it's just a bit of a pain
[12:45:14] sadawson: now has access to the DB but now says to me config file /home/mythtv/.mythtv/PVR-150–1.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure
[12:45:28] raz_: Which leads me back to my opening question. I know that this device exists, I've seen it, but did not have the presence of mind to note make and model when I saw it. <sigh>
[12:45:58] LLyric: raz_: I've heard of them, but they're not very flexible.
[12:46:11] raz_: (Oh, I should point out, it was not in a MythTV configuration; it was simply being used as a player for material on a fileserver, which happens also to be my requirement; I don't watch that much TV).
[12:46:23] LLyric: sadawson: that's your xmltv grabber attempting to fetch program information

[19:43:23] orpheus: and i already have it woring on my roomate's windows box, but it's sad that i can't get it to work here
[19:43:25] orpheus: .19
[19:43:38] xris: orpheus: why not just install mythfrontend?
[19:44:05] orpheus: well, this machine is ubuntu, which means .18 unless i go through some hoops
[19:44:14] Juski: use a knoppmyth cd...
[19:44:27] Juski: or install the dsmyth stuff
[19:44:31] Juski: on the windows box
[19:44:37] xris: orpheus: there are .19 packages for ubuntu
[19:44:43] xris: just not official ones
[19:44:48] orpheus: cool, when did that happen... oh
[19:44:54] orpheus: good
[19:45:39] orpheus: i'd prefer to use the mythweb interface here, but if only one thing works... unofficial mythfrontend packages it is
[19:45:56] Juski: thehamsta.net :-)
[19:46:03] xris: mythweb is not a viewer
[19:46:21] xris: orpheus: or get yourself a hardware encoder card so that it records as .mpg
[19:46:24] Diabolic: So, mythfrontend is just a simple box with a display card? Nothing more needed?
[19:46:59] xris: mythfrontend is a program.
[19:47:07] orpheus: a display, a keyboard, and a good network connection to the server
[19:47:17] orpheus: with mythfrontend installed
[19:47:30] Diabolic: Yup.
[19:47:30] Juski: good == minimum 10mbit or 'g' wireless
[19:47:49] orpheus: xris: i have no reason to replace my cards, i have more than enough cpu time laying around to encode with
[19:48:08] xris: orpheus: just suggesting it as an option (better quality, too)
[19:48:18] Diabolic: Well, I'll have mythbackend and mythfrontend on the same machine anyway.
[19:48:32] Juski: miles better quality, I feel it necessary to add ;-)
[19:49:01] xris: I still like my digital cable with firewire.
[19:50:14] xris: orpheus: like I said, mplayer can play nupplevideo files. Just can't seek/ff/rw
[19:50:17] orpheus: what cards do you people have?
[19:50:20] Juski: you know what the biggest gripe people I met this weekend have with mythtv is? that it uses mysql ! Oh and apparently it's uber-hard to install – its reputation precedes it somewhat. where the hell all that has come from I don't know
[19:50:31] xris: orpheus: pvr-150 or 500 would be the one to get.
[19:50:37] laga: hi Juski!
[19:50:44] orpheus: maybe it comes from 2 years ago, it's darned easy now
[19:50:56] xris: Juski: it used to be a huge pain. that was years ago, though
[19:51:04] orpheus: is the pvr-500 a dual?
[19:51:08] xris: orpheus: yes
[19:51:12] Juski: heya laga!
[19:51:15] xris: it's basically two 150's
[19:51:26] orpheus: do i wanna know how much they cost tho?
[19:51:31] xris: costs slightly more than 2 150's
[19:51:40] xris: 150 costs around $60 for the mce (no remote) version
[19:52:05] orpheus: ow, bt878's are like $10 at any computer show
[19:52:13] Juski: well xris I had a lot of defending to do. at breakfast today I overheard some stuff that made me want to .. well I wasn't best pleased at what I heard
[19:52:15] orpheus: but quality is good to have...
[19:52:40] xris: Juski: sort of like how I felt when I suggested that ffmpeg might have some problems with their documentation.
[19:52:55] xris: orpheus: miles of improvement in quality.
[19:53:04] xris: or you could do what I did and go straight to firewire.
[19:53:12] orpheus: ?
[19:53:12] laga: Juski: how was it?
[19:53:48] xris: orpheus: HD cable box in the US has a firewire port. mythtv plugs straight in and you get the pure digital stream
[19:53:55] Juski: oh, and I can't begin to describe how I felt when people had assumed I'm like a major developer, and they were like "why do YOU... I WANT.. why do YOU.. I WANT". it was funny when folks thought we were there to sell boxen though
[19:54:05] Juski: laga: very interesting, in good and in bad ways

[19:54:36] laga: heh
[19:54:41] orpheus: xris: what cable box is this, and where do i get one?
[19:54:45] Juski: we _never_ stopped all weekend
[19:54:48] xris: orpheus: you have digital cable?
[19:55:08] Juski: ludovic was amazed a) at the turnout & b) the amount of attention we got :-)
[19:55:25] psofa: hmm
[19:55:27] orpheus: xris: i've been looking at switching
[19:55:27] psofa: :(
[19:55:34] psofa: damn nvidia drivers
[19:55:43] laga: Juski: nice :)
[19:55:50] orpheus: xris: comcast has done me wrong enought times
[19:55:52] xris: orpheus: if you already have digital, it's easy.. you just rent an HD box for a month to try it out.
[19:55:53] psofa: if i change video resolution it looses the overscan
[19:55:54] Juski: probably the biggest point from a UK point of view is that almost everybody we spoke to just wants to go out & buy a ready made box
[19:56:04] laga: lugradio.org seems to be down :/
[19:56:06] Juski: psofa: duh!
[19:56:20] xris: I guess you could upgrade to digital + hd for a month, too, but it's obviously slightly more expensive.
[19:56:38] Juski: laga: I'm not even gonna talk about the impromptu interview I was asked to do.. you'll have to listen to the show to find out what happenned
[19:57:00] laga: Juski: is that show online yet?
[19:57:03] Juski: and yes, sadly there will be video footage of me ham-fistedly doing a demo
[19:57:12] Juski: (on the main stage)
[19:57:25] laga: :)
[19:57:51] Juski: laga: lol. you have to be kidding! they recorded every BOF session, every speaker in audio & video from both days, so a lot of work needs to be done
[19:58:16] laga: Juski: *shrug* that's what caffeine is for ;)
[19:58:32] laga: i was just wondering because that might explain why lugradio.org is offline
[19:58:41] xris: orpheus: the problem with the firewire thing is that legally they're only required to provide you with access to the OTA stations... many places give you access to everything (I even get HBO, though I do pay for it), and that's when it's worth the upgrade.
[19:58:43] Juski: 3.30 am I went to bed today. at breakfast at 8am
[19:59:05] Juski: the 80 mile drive home was erm.. tricky ;-)

[23:27:19] Cyberai: im not in US
