| 15:31.19 | feutetejsd | yeah, there we go....man, I always forget the syntax |

| 17:27.34 | cboyack | hahaha |
| 17:27.39 | cboyack | just dropped it off at macdocs.. |
| 17:28.17 | wps | that bites |
| 17:28.19 | feutetejsd | cboyack, as much grief as I gave you about your new machine, I do feel bad for you....sorry to hear about it man |
| 17:28.21 | wps | I hope that it's not serious |
| 17:28.33 | wps | no idea what it was? |
| 17:28.40 | wps | just crashed and now won't turn on? |
| 17:28.45 | cboyack | kernel panics galore |
| 17:28.50 | cboyack | i tried everything, the system was unreponsive |

| 17:29.02 | cboyack | wouldn't reset PRAM, wouldn't boot into safe mode, wouldn't boot from cd... |
| 17:29.15 | cboyack | i was finally able to reinstall the OS (i've had some kernel panics before, and that fixed it), but it still had the prob |
| 17:29.34 | cboyack | removed my kingston memory (i've heard that memory can be a big kernel panic factor), still nothin' |
| 17:29.48 | cboyack | so here's to hoping that the wizards at macdocs can resurrect it from the grave |
| 17:30.11 | cboyack | last night i was just trying to revive it long enough to pull some stuff off that i had been working on, and need to work on today and tomorrow. no such luck |
| 17:30.17 | cboyack | it wouldn't boot into target mode either |
| 17:30.19 | cboyack | very odd... |
| 17:30.27 | feutetejsd | man, that's ugly |
| 17:31.54 | cboyack | indeed |
| 17:32.02 | cboyack | what's worse is having the mark on my track record |
| 17:32.18 | cboyack | being such a proponent of macs, saying they "just work", never having any problems i couldn't fix myself |
| 17:32.24 | wps | ~lart cboyack's pride |
| 17:32.30 | cboyack | haha |
| 17:35.28 | wps | I wish that there was a way to tell Google that your site has been updated and that he should come and reindex it. :) |
| 17:35.55 | wps | but then I'd be rich or dead if I could make that happen |
| 17:36.14 | wps | anyone else itching for MacWorld???? |
| 17:36.22 | wps | what will it be??? |
| 17:36.29 | wps | Mac MIni DVR? |
| 17:36.32 | cboyack | itching? that's the understatement of the century |
| 17:36.33 | wps | Front Row 2.0? |
| 17:36.46 | wps | bluetooth remote for all macs? |
| 17:37.00 | cboyack | i'm banking on an intel product, most likely 13" ibook, and an update mac mini, more targeted towards home entertainment delivery |
| 17:37.16 | wps | Airport Ultra with AirTV? |
| 17:37.35 | feutetejsd | when is it? |
| 17:37.37 | cboyack | my dad's hoping for a DVR-type system that supports HD |
| 17:37.39 | cboyack | 5 days |
| 17:37.43 | cboyack | 120 hours... |
| 17:37.47 | cboyack | :) |
| 17:37.53 | feutetejsd | hehe |
| 17:47.01 | cboyack | it's a good thing i have 4 other macs to use while my g5 is dead... :::devilish grin::: |
| 17:47.52 | feutetejsd | I'd lart your other 4 macs, but I would hate to bring any more pain and suffering on your computers right now.... :) |
| 17:48.10 | cboyack | lol |
| 18:33.53 | cboyack | good macworld predictions - http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=67 |
| 18:43.03 | feutetejsd | so, someone tell me about the rumored AirTV..... |
| 18:44.00 | feutetejsd | also, I've heard about iDVR, but wouldn't that require a video card with TV TUner? |
| 18:45.54 | wps | yes |
| 18:46.40 | feutetejsd | yeah, figured as much....one of the things I was reading suggested that iLife or something would include iDVR, but no mention of Macs shipping with video cards with tv tuners.... |
| 18:46.41 | wps | the thought is that with the direction Apple has been going (videos on iTunes… FrontRow… etc), that they are basically building a media center |
| 18:46.59 | feutetejsd | I could go for a Mini as a media center |
| 18:47.04 | feutetejsd | sounds pretty slick to me |
| 18:47.48 | wps | but, instead of going the computer-in-the-living room approach as Microsoft did, then continue the AirTunes approach and stream everything wirelessly (in HD) to your stereo and television |
| 18:48.28 | cboyack | that'd be a nice graduation present to myself come april :) |
| 18:48.32 | wps | s/then/they |
| 18:49.03 | wps | if Apple released an HD DVR, I would purchase it immediately |
| 18:49.40 | feutetejsd | hmmmm....hmmmmm.....I would also be very tempted, but would have to pick up an AirPort too.... might have some difficulty convincing the wife |
| 18:49.59 | wps | not me… my wife wants a DVR more than I do |
| 18:50.05 | wps | she begs me every week to go buy one |
| 18:50.07 | feutetejsd | wow.... |
| 18:50.14 | cboyack | ah, the single life... |
| 18:50.43 | feutetejsd | ~lart single life |
| 18:50.44 | wps | but I am not spending my money on one until I can get an HD DVR/HD DVD unit |
| 18:51.11 | wps | panasonic is supposed to release one within a month or two |
| 18:52.10 | wps | same thing with a video camera |
| 18:52.26 | wps | my wife is begging me to purchase one, but again, I won't spend the money on one unless it's HD |
| 18:52.33 | wps | so, I am waiting for the prices to come down |
| 18:52.44 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 18:52.46 | cboyack | my dad just bought a slick HD mini cam for like 1500ish or something like that |
| 18:52.47 | cboyack | he loves it |
| 18:53.02 | wps | yeah, I am waiting for 1k |
| 18:53.52 | feutetejsd | so AirTV is the rumored ability to stream HDTV from Airport to your TV? |
| 18:54.05 | wps | yup |
| 18:54.16 | feutetejsd | cool |

| 19:29.51 | wps | music execs piss me off so much |
| 19:30.13 | wps | I can't believe that they cannot see that if they piss off the general public enough (their customers) that we are going to stop purchasing music |
| 19:30.39 | wps | I would have purchased very little music over the past three years without iTunes |
| 19:31.06 | cboyack | same for me |
| 19:31.11 | cboyack | i don't buy cds |
| 19:31.12 | wps | and if CDs become unrippable, then I will not purchase them |
| 19:31.23 | cboyack | i love being able to go in itunes, buy a single song, and listen to it 40 times to my heart's content |
| 19:31.32 | feutetejsd | amen |
| 19:31.41 | wps | one of the biggest things for me in the 30 second preview |
| 19:31.57 | wps | I have purchased a ton of music because I heard it that I otherwise wouldn't have ever |
| 19:32.04 | wps | especially artists or albums that I had never heard of |
| 19:32.25 | cboyack | ditto |
| 19:32.48 | cboyack | i love the related artists (that's how i discover new bands) and the top songs of each artist - so i can find the best songs quickly |
| 21:08.56 | feutetejsd | so, here's a question...I want to give some folks in my office guest access to a directory under my user's home directory using Windows File Sharing....how would I go about this? It's easy to do if they authenticate as me, but I don't want them to have to do so....any ideas? |
| 21:09.30 | cboyack | on OS X client, i think no dice.. i believe you'd need OS X server to jimmy rig somethin like that.. |
| 21:09.53 | feutetejsd | hmmm....I'll buy that. thanks |
| 21:10.03 | cboyack | you're gonna buy it just for that? |
| 21:10.15 | feutetejsd | hehe....no, I'll buy your explanation |
| 21:10.19 | feutetejsd | not OS X Server |
| 21:10.20 | cboyack | oh, lol |
| 21:11.03 | cboyack | cuz i believe the only type of sharing you can do on client is what you see in the pref panel, unless you dig into the system w/ the terminal somehow and set it up yourself.. but that'd prob be way too much effort for something like that |
| 21:12.00 | feutetejsd | i'm actually working on that now....I think I'm going to be able to do it :) |
| 21:12.05 | cboyack | shweet |
| 21:13.31 | feutetejsd | heh...got it |
| 21:13.40 | cboyack | whatdja have to edit? |
| 21:13.44 | cboyack | (which file) |
| 21:14.09 | feutetejsd | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:15.27 | feutetejsd | something like this: |
| 21:15.40 | feutetejsd | [Music] |
| 21:15.40 | feutetejsd | path = /Users/xxxx/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ |
| 21:15.40 | feutetejsd | public = yes |
| 21:15.40 | feutetejsd | browseable = yes |
| 21:15.41 | feutetejsd | writable = no |
| 21:15.43 | feutetejsd | force user = xxxx |
| 21:15.46 | feutetejsd | hide dot files = yes |
| 21:22.09 | feutetejsd | hmmm...some trouble getting to it from WinXP without username and pass, but Win2k works fine.... |
| 21:22.59 | cboyack | status update: bad logic board in my quad... |
| 21:23.00 | cboyack | they're ordering a new one |
| 21:23.20 | feutetejsd | huzzah! |
| 21:24.41 | cboyack | apple-related shipping always amazes me |
| 21:24.44 | cboyack | they ordered it today, they'll have it tomorrow |
| 21:24.53 | feutetejsd | wow |
| 21:25.29 | cboyack | last year my ipod died. i filled out an online doodah, the next day at my doorstep i had a box, with a fedex label on it waiting for me that they had shipped. put the ipod in, sent it off, 2 days later had a new ipod |
| 21:26.09 | feutetejsd | wow indeed |
| 23:03.17 | wps | same with my powerbook |
| 23:03.24 | wps | screen problem |
| 23:03.29 | wps | had it back in two days |
