| 03:35.05 | Gnuman | heya simonrvn |
| 03:35.16 | simonrvn | hey dude |
| 03:36.10 | Gnuman | I'm getting pretty sick of half the websites checking to see if the flash plugin identifies as Adobe Flash. . . |
| 03:36.26 | simonrvn | oh ick |
| 03:36.37 | Gnuman | and teh fact that adobe does not package a flash player for LinuxPPC |
| 03:36.57 | simonrvn | ppeople have been bugging them for years to do it |
| 03:37.30 | Gnuman | there is one for x86Linux. . . |
| 03:37.34 | simonrvn | yeh |
| 03:38.18 | Gnuman | they could even do like nVidia did for a long time and package the binary within a Linux executable |
| 03:39.59 | Gnuman | I'm feeling fairly forced back into the x96 world. . . |
| 03:40.06 | Gnuman | err, x86 |
| 03:40.50 | Gnuman | but to do that, I would have to build a system in a 1U rackmount enclosure. . . |
| 03:41.15 | Gnuman | Not that that would be particularly bad mind you. . . |
| 03:41.32 | simonrvn | that would be ok |
| 03:42.13 | Gnuman | Boild one into a very shallow rackmount case, with a slim DVD+-RW drive in it. . . |
| 03:42.31 | simonrvn | not ppc, but sometimes you want something to just work, instead of wondering if it'll work or not. i dislike this x86-centric stuff |
| 03:42.42 | Gnuman | Dual core, with 4G ram and a terrabyte HDD |
| 03:42.57 | simonrvn | brb. that would be nice :) |
| 03:43.13 | Gnuman | I hate that I'm having my choices taken away from me. . . |
| 03:43.55 | simonrvn | yeh :/ |
| 03:44.38 | Gnuman | On a happier note: I spent the last month becoming the great arseless wonder. . . |
| 03:44.54 | simonrvn | eh? |
| 03:45.02 | Gnuman | and building up some excess cash to buy myself a reward. . . |
| 03:45.10 | simonrvn | oh, ok |
| 03:45.37 | Gnuman | (working my arse off == becoming the great arseless wonder) |
| 03:45.45 | simonrvn | got it =) |
| 03:46.29 | Gnuman | and I plunked that down at my local Independent Bicycle Shop. |
| 03:46.44 | simonrvn | oh cool. getting/got a bike? |
| 03:46.56 | Gnuman | I bought the parts to compile a pair of wheels and an upgrade for my gearing system |
| 03:47.25 | Gnuman | I do not buy bikes, anymore than I buy comp[uters or Operating systems. . . |
| 03:47.36 | simonrvn | Gnuman++ |
| 03:48.16 | Gnuman | The gearing I have now is something I call Sherpa Gearing. |
| 03:48.35 | Gnuman | you know bicycle gearing? |
| 03:48.45 | simonrvn | oh yeh, they're good |
| 03:49.01 | Gnuman | ?? |
| 03:49.31 | simonrvn | i can assemble a bike... don't know much about many manufacturers and such, but i can put one together ;) |
| 03:49.45 | Gnuman | you an avid rider? |
| 03:49.57 | Gnuman | Consider this: |
| 03:50.05 | simonrvn | haven't been doing much riding, but yeh i'm a nut |
| 03:50.11 | simonrvn | riding lately* |
| 03:50.33 | Gnuman | 700C wheels (wearing 700x38C tires) |
| 03:50.41 | simonrvn | ok |
| 03:50.52 | Gnuman | Chainrings are 26. 38, 48 |
| 03:51.01 | simonrvn | ok |
| 03:51.21 | Gnuman | rear cassette is 11-34, 9spd |
| 03:51.28 | simonrvn | ok |
| 03:52.02 | Gnuman | My lowest gear is a 34T cog being pulled by a 26T chainring |
| 03:52.16 | simonrvn | yeh |
| 03:52.33 | Gnuman | My gearing goes from 1.7MP to 9.5MP |
| 03:52.41 | simonrvn | i haven't heard bike talk in a while, it's refreshing :) |
| 03:53.03 | Gnuman | with the ultra low, I should be able to climb hills that would scare a sherpa |
| 03:53.19 | simonrvn | yeh ;) |
| 03:54.05 | simonrvn | ok, now i get the reference |
| 03:54.32 | Gnuman | This gearing is connected to a wheelset that starts with Velocity Fusion Rims laced to Velocity ATB sealed cartridge bearig hubs |
| 03:55.20 | Gnuman | at 36 holes, the front is laced 3x, and the back is laced 4x |
| 03:55.25 | simonrvn | my bike when it was intact, was 11-34 cassette and 48-(i think 26) chainring, but in seven gears |
| 03:55.37 | Gnuman | I have a suspension fork in the front. . . |
| 03:55.42 | simonrvn | oh sweet |
| 03:56.36 | Gnuman | the Velocity Fusion rim is an "Aero" design that isw 19mm wide, and 25mm deep |
| 03:56.48 | simonrvn | i built my bike for both cargo and speed, leaning more towards cargo |
| 03:57.27 | simonrvn | we have some pretty steep hills here, so i kept the range as best i could manage |
| 03:57.33 | Gnuman | Light touring? |
| 03:57.48 | simonrvn | i do some yeh |
| 03:58.04 | Gnuman | no, is that what type of bike you built? |
| 03:58.29 | simonrvn | one day sorta dealie. oh, it's based off a norco mtb frame |
| 03:58.45 | simonrvn | the old one was, i think the new one is too |
| 03:58.58 | Gnuman | OK |
| 03:59.32 | Gnuman | Mine is based on a Giant Cypress Hybrid bike |
| 03:59.33 | simonrvn | 26" wheels |
| 03:59.51 | Gnuman | Yeah, yours would. |
| 04:00.05 | Gnuman | Mine wears 700C |
| 04:00.07 | simonrvn | considered going for 700, but it wasn't going to work wth the frame, etc. |
| 04:00.15 | simonrvn | with |
| 04:00.44 | Gnuman | Yeah. it takes a different frame. That is why I got the Cypress frame. . . |
| 04:00.58 | simonrvn | i take what i can get, and clean it up/mod it if need be |
| 04:01.15 | Gnuman | Yup, same here. . . |
| 04:01.45 | Gnuman | Actually, this is the first bike I've had where the drive ystem all match. . . |
| 04:01.53 | Gnuman | system |
| 04:02.07 | Gnuman | Deore LX on both front and rear |
| 04:02.08 | simonrvn | there's this bike coop of sorts that i go to, they always get donations, and the stuff i do buy there is at cost plus a bit more, so putting one together won't run it a fortune |
| 04:02.15 | simonrvn | oh nice |
| 04:02.30 | simonrvn | my drivetrain is all a mishmash ;) |
| 04:02.36 | Gnuman | Like my wheels did |
| 04:02.55 | Gnuman | parts alone cost upwards of 300 |
| 04:03.58 | simonrvn | i have no idea how much, i don't particularly care as long as they last :) |
| 04:04.19 | simonrvn | i haven't been there since fall, i should drop by there sometime soon |
| 04:04.21 | Gnuman | I already had the LX front der (it came with the frame), and the store owner sold me the rear one used (I wanted it so it would handle the gearing I wanted) and a pair of rapidfire shifterpods |
| 04:04.32 | simonrvn | nice |
| 04:04.49 | Gnuman | the R der and shifterpode are used, and 9 speed. . . |
| 04:05.15 | Gnuman | The pods are not Deore LX though. . . |
| 04:05.31 | Gnuman | XTR |
| 04:06.30 | Gnuman | They shift real smooth too. . . |
| 04:06.46 | simonrvn | ok. my rear cassette is funky. i found some old school 6 speed stuff, plopped it on on 7 speed, and grabbed the 11 tooth from one of those newer ones (all used parts). had another buddy help me find the parts =) |
| 04:07.12 | simonrvn | yeh i can imagine. i'm into the more old school stuff, old fashioned levers |
| 04:08.27 | simonrvn | the rapid fire shifters i find overly complicated. i can certainly see the benefit, but not for me |
| 04:08.41 | Gnuman | I had origalu plunked down money at Nashbar for a cheap 9 speed cassette, but it did not fit the new hub, so the shop owner let me upgrade to a Sram version as a direct trade. . . |
| 04:09.00 | Gnuman | OK, my sleeping meds are kicking in. . . |
| 04:09.02 | simonrvn | oh cool :) |
| 04:09.12 | simonrvn | alrighty then... g'night Gnuman |
| 04:09.20 | simonrvn | sleep well |
| 04:09.22 | Gnuman | gnight! |
| 04:09.30 | Gnuman | I'l talk to you later!! |
| 04:09.36 | simonrvn | sure will :) |
