00:57.02sticksterjsmith: Do you have a SIP I can call you at?
00:57.26sticksterI am trying to debug something for a podcast and the guy I'm doing it with has too many interrupts right now
00:58.53sticksterBah, never mind
01:09.20jsmithstickster: Gimme a minute, and yes.
01:09.32jsmithstickster: (Sorry, trying to debug other SIP problems here... gimme a second)
01:30.00jsmithstickster: You still there?

17:41.40sticksterjsmith: Maybe this afternoon/evening?
17:49.27jsmithSure... I can probably do it in a couple of hours... I'm just getting ready to teach another module
17:49.36jsmithstickster: I'll ping you when I'm available.
18:04.47plarsenstickster: Ok, I'm probably very slow here. But I'm to bring about 10 copies of the LIVE Fedora 7, i386??
18:06.45plarsenI downloaded the 64 bit, and I agree that might complicate stuff. And I downloaded the i686 version of Live KDE. Somehow I'm missing the "normal" Live.
18:07.10plarsenBut confusion comes from that I needed DVD-Rs?? they fit on CD ISO images as you pointed out; so to make sure my mind isn't playing tricks
18:07.26plarsenI'll bring about 10 Fedora 7 Live CDs - NOT DVDs??
18:07.35plarsenDo I need to burn som "not live" DVDs ??
18:08.06plarsenOhh - that reminds me. Are there Fedora label templates I can use to put on the CDs??
18:57.39sticksterplarsen: Artwork - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/CDArt

19:35.32plarsenOkie dokie ... so two sets :)
19:35.48plarsenNow I feel like I got my brain back, or what's left of it anyway
19:58.32plarsenOhh, btw. my company has it's annual picnic on saturday :)  It means I gotta dash as soon as it's over :(
20:05.39sticksterplarsen: Actually, you really only need to make one set of 7-10 copies of the "standard" Live i686
20:06.21sticksterI advocate doing that only because there is an utter dearth of coverage of KDE in the official docs right now, and we want to maximize the chances that people can find the info they need without a problem off the bat
20:06.50jsmithstickster: See my private message?
20:10.17plarsenif he's on the road, I doubt it :)
20:10.55plarsenstickster: when you get back. I'll make only DVD live copies then. No problem
20:11.06plarsenI just have to find a CD label print program now :)

21:53.24quigleymd_workall three comp shops i went to were very receptive to hanging the flyer
21:54.02quigleymd_workwell, one of them didnt want 'tape on his glass' but he took the flier and said he'd post it
21:55.27sticksterquigleymd_work: Sweetness!
21:55.37quigleymd_workmost def
21:55.56sticksterquigleymd_work: Thanks so much for doing that... I haven't been able to get out anywhere yet
21:56.03quigleymd_workits the LEAST i could do!
21:56.23sticksterHow did you do the printing?  Inkjet/Laserjet 8.5x11 or something else?
21:56.27sticksterAnything *fancy*?
21:56.40quigleymd_worknot fancy at all, inkjet 8.5x11
21:56.59sticksterall righty then
21:57.09quigleymd_workthe best i've got;)
21:57.11quigleymd_workheh
21:57.22sticksterNo, that's superfantastic man!
21:57.31quigleymd_work:D
21:57.43quigleymd_workare you aware of anything else needed?
21:57.46sticksterAaron had promised some fliers but he has never responded to my emails :-(
21:57.54quigleymd_workper the mauling list, people seem to have CDs nailed down
21:58.05sticksterWell, I think we need more helpful people of course
21:58.26quigleymd_worki only get so helpful :p
21:58.26quigleymd_workj/k
21:58.29sticksterSo far I know that Peter and I will be there, and maybe Marie although she's not too comfortable helping with the installations at this point
21:58.33sticksterSo you'll be there?
21:58.39quigleymd_workoh yea, sorry
21:58.41sticksterBOFFO!
21:58.45quigleymd_workim definitely planning on being there
21:59.30sticksterI think Eddie might be there too, with Ubuntu CDs
21:59.34quigleymd_work:)
21:59.45quigleymd_worki just assumed my attendance was implied :p
22:00.06sticksterhaha
22:00.35sticksterplarsen is bringing network hardware and some Fedora CDs
22:00.53sticksterI'm bringing a "server" with a big HDD full of CentOS and Fedora
22:00.57quigleymd_worki planned on cables, powerstrips and a keyboard/monitor
22:01.02sticksterOh yeah, sweet
22:01.02plarsenstickster: I actually have an old catalyst 2900 :)
22:01.15plarsenI was thinking about taking that with me ... buuuut it might scare someone :)
22:02.25sticksterI'll probably ditch the projector, but I can bring a couple power strips and network cables
22:03.08sticksterThe only monitor I have is a 17" CRT :-P
22:03.13quigleymd_workwell, it can always be used as a monitor!
22:03.25sticksterthe projector, yeah
22:03.34stickstergood point!
22:03.41sticksterMaybe I'll bring that instead of the CRT :-D
22:03.49quigleymd_work:D
22:03.53sticksterOh, I bet I could bring a KVM switch and some cables, that would rock
22:04.04quigleymd_worklet me know if you cant
22:04.12quigleymd_worki can maybe round one up
22:04.16sticksterThen we could have several things going at once without killing the library's poewr circuit
22:07.17plarsenI have an old 4port KVM ... want me to bring it?
22:07.22plarsenAnd cables of course.
22:07.48sticksterthe more the merrier
22:08.29plarsenI can't bring a monitor though :(  I have to go directly to "picnic" afterwards, and the monitor will fry if it stays in my car outside.
22:08.40sticksterright
22:11.19quigleymd_workstickster: do you use any avocent products? We have some devices that extend KVM over ethernet
22:11.42sticksterNo, other than a couple old manual KVM boxes
22:11.58quigleymd_workok, i was just wondering cus i sometimes notice odd PS/2 behavior
22:12.11sticksteror is KVMIP?
22:12.15sticksters/is/is it/
22:12.28quigleymd_workno IP
22:12.34quigleymd_workjust at the E layer

23:47.10jsmithRing
23:47.16sticksterBugger
23:47.20jsmithCan you hear me?
23:47.21sticksterHang on, audio problem here, my fault
23:47.30jsmithI'm behind NAT, so I may have audio problems as well
23:47.53jsmithLet me know when you're ready for me to try again.
23:48.04sticksterSorry, try again
23:48.15jsmithOK, I will just as soon as my phone is free again.
23:48.28jsmith(All the students are using my phone to test their Asterisk systems
23:48.31sticksterSorry, had to hang up because of the audio reset
23:48.32sticksterheh
23:48.54sticksterYou are a bada$$!!!
23:51.06jsmithCalling again
23:51.07jsmithRing
23:52.08sticksterHang on
23:52.08sticksterI'm still there
23:52.16jsmithI'll give you a second
23:52.26jsmithI can hear you from time to time, but you sound like Max Headroom
23:52.30quigleymdyou sip people and your one (or zero) way audio...
23:53.06sticksterWe're under the PCMU
23:53.08jsmithCan you hear me OK?
23:53.14sticksteryes, I hear you fine
23:53.25sticksterIt's a little compressed sounding
23:53.25sticksterWe're using that PCMU codec
23:53.40sticksterWhen I connected with Karsten the other night we were using Speex, and it sounded great from his end (so he said)
23:53.42jsmithCan you try using GSM?
23:53.46sticksterAnd I *AM* a robot
23:53.50jsmithI could compile speex support in here... hold on.
23:53.52sticksterYou have something against robots?
23:53.58sticksteryes
23:55.15stickstersorry to be a pain
23:55.42jsmithquigleymd: This isn't one-way audio... this is ma-ma-max headroom audio
23:55.52jsmithstickster: No, it's OK... you forget how much I love this stuff
23:57.08sticksterYikes
23:57.36sticksterWe had speex going the other night between me and my friend in sunny Santa Cruz... he said it was ~15-17 kB/sec bandwidth, but sounded great
23:58.03sticksterI discovered that "echo cancellation" was on in my Ekiga client, and turned it off
23:58.04jsmithRight... pcmu (ulaw) is around 80kB/s
23:58.08sticksterI didn't know if that would help
23:58.10sticksterwhoa
23:58.29jsmith8000Hz times 8 bits per sample = 64kbps, plus overhead
23:59.12sticksterSo this would have been ~128 kbps for 16 KBps, yes?
23:59.29sticksterI have no idea what the rate or bit-depth was
23:59.47jsmithAlmost all phone-based audio is 8000Hz, 8 bit samples
23:59.52sticksterah
23:59.52jsmithBut then the codec compresses that
23:59.59stickstersee, now I can skip that chapter then
