00:00.09ChipX86purple_cow: ooh! ooh! Can pagefault do it?!
00:00.17pagefaultblockbuster does the netflix thing now too?
00:00.17nullpuppyChipX86: why's that?
00:00.30nullpuppypagefault: yeah
00:00.31ChipX86nullpuppy: I've had all kinds of bad experiences with them in the past
00:00.39nullpuppyah, ok
00:00.44pagefaultblockbuster tried to charge me for not returning a dvd
00:00.47ChipX86it could just be the Chico one
00:00.48pagefaultwhen I clearly did
00:00.52ChipX86pagefault: same here.
00:01.05pagefaultI just told them to f themselves
00:01.13pagefaultthen a few months later I get a letter from them saying they have forgiven me
00:01.16ChipX86the management at this one place sucked. The guy decided he didn't like me and because of that reason alone, woudln't let me do this "buy 2 selected movies, get one free" thing.
00:01.16pagefaultand offer a free rental :)
00:01.21nullpuppyi haven't had a problem, but i dont rent often
00:01.27ChipX86the other person there waited until he was gone and sold them to me anyway
00:01.39pagefaultI just rent from the local place these days
00:02.08pagefaultthe line is always too long at blockbuster anyway, they usually have one guy working and the line has 10 people in it
00:02.55nullpuppyyeah, well.. when i rent locally.. i usually go to hollywood
00:03.00ChipX86same
00:03.06ChipX86well, used to anyway, before moving here
00:03.22pagefaultnot much is worth renting though these days
00:03.37nullpuppyyeah
00:03.55file[laptop]pagefault: how goeth it?
00:03.55ChipX86the nice thing about netflix is that they have a ton of anime
00:04.01pagefaultfile[laptop], good, you?
00:04.07ChipX86they have nearly everything I can think of except porn
00:04.08file[laptop]pagefault: not too bad
00:04.15pagefaultfile[laptop], thats good
00:04.20pagefaultChipX86, to copy eh?
00:04.21pagefaulthehe
00:04.30ChipX86heh
00:04.33ChipX86I don't really do that
00:04.45ChipX86I did today, because I've had these DVDs for two months and haven't watched them yet, and want new stuff
00:04.48pagefaultI will do it if it's something I won't bother buying
00:05.01ChipX86I figure I bought them with the monthly fees and no new rentals :)
00:05.15pagefaulthaha
00:05.22pagefaultthats how they make their money
00:05.26ChipX86yeah
00:05.34pagefaultthey want you to keep them longer
00:05.36pagefaultbecause you can only have 3
00:05.43ChipX86I was really good at it for a whil
00:05.57pagefaultfile[laptop], I suppose your cell # has changed
00:06.46file[laptop]pagefault: 506-878-COLP
00:07.09pagefaulthah nice
00:07.17file[laptop]:)
00:07.26pagefaultNOT-FILE wasn't avalible?
00:07.53file[laptop]anything FILE wasn't available :(
00:07.57file[laptop]first thing I checked
00:08.01pagefaultthat sucks
00:08.13file[laptop]yeah
00:08.42pagefaultI think I miss about suprnova was the cell phone apps
00:09.04file[laptop]achoo
00:11.59ChipX86maybe I'll just go through the top 100 and see what I want..
00:12.23kergothhmm.
00:12.29kergothgod i hate documenting.
00:12.34ChipX86yeah..
00:13.06kergoththis week i need to not fuck up.  actually have to get to work on time for once and stuff.  and i need to finish these docs tonight
00:13.09kergothheh
00:13.11kergothbleh
00:13.27ChipX86netflix decided I like WW2 stuff
00:14.56pagefaultthe future is friendly
00:17.09pagefaultdo they carry much import or music dvds?
00:17.29ChipX86dunno
00:18.14laodamasI find it strange that Blockbuster is attempting a hostle $.9bn takeover of Hollywood video when Blockbuster, inc lost ~$1bn last year
00:18.34pagefaultthat sounds like corporate thinking to me
00:19.05pagefaultby purchasing a profitable company they think they too will become profitable
00:19.27laodamasIf we're going down, we're taking are largest competitor with us!
00:19.41laodamas^^netflix wins
00:19.43file[laptop]pagefault: now, make me money
00:19.52ChipX86he'll become more profitable when zsnes lets me use my remote control to quit it :)
00:20.21pagefaultif your remote inputs a key it can already
00:20.31ChipX86it doesn't, and other people are having that problem too :(
00:20.41ChipX86I mean, it can input a key, but zsnes isn't intercepting it or something weird
00:20.46pagefaultyou entered a key into the GAME KEYS window?
00:21.03ChipX86oh, no. I used girder to translate the key code to alt-f4 when zsnes has focus
00:21.09pagefaultoh
00:21.22pagefaultwell there is an assignable button/key in game keys that can be assigned to exit
00:21.26pagefaultfor that purpose :)
00:21.31ChipX86ok, I'll mess with that :)
00:21.48pagefaultif it doesn't work out let me know
00:21.52ChipX86ok
00:21.53pagefaultwith the key I mean
00:21.57ChipX86yeah
00:21.59pagefaulthehe

00:22.30pagefaultfile: I am setting up a WAP gateway so my brother on telus can download ringtones

00:22.59pagefaultalso bypassing the telus charge per page
00:23.04pagefaultbecause it doesn't use their proxy server

02:00.37KeyserSozethere's some dork who keeps using my nick
02:00.50KeyserSozewhat kind of dumbass wants "KeyserSoze" as a nick?
02:01.07KeyserSozemaybe he doesn't know why he keeps getting disconnected?
02:04.55darth_mallkergoth: don't suppose you have any recommendations for a wifi card for my Z, do you?
02:05.50kergothafaik, the symbol or spectrum cards are still the best bet.  low power consumption, prism 2.5, small formfactor
02:06.09darth_mallcool, danke
02:06.14kergothbeen a while since i payed much attention to cf cards and things, since i dont actually _use_ my z

02:11.32ChipX86multisync kinda sucks with evo2 and the zaurus

02:37.39ChipX86MediaPortal rocks
02:37.43ChipX86but it's for windows
02:37.49kergothChipX86: still working there right now, but that wont last.  performance at work has been down, and its come down to the point where i have to locate other work, inside ti or outside.  so.. keeping an eye out
02:37.51KeyserSozebleh :)
02:38.05ChipX86KeyserSoze: have you used it?
02:38.09KeyserSozewindows?
02:38.13ChipX86MediaPortal
02:38.14KeyserSozeyeah, i hate it :D
02:38.20KeyserSozeno, never used media portal
02:38.28ChipX86yeah, but if you're stuck with windows, this is a really good solution :)
02:38.34ChipX86I'd use linux if it were an option right now
02:38.35KeyserSozei'm sure there are windows apps that are fine and all
02:38.54KeyserSozebut, it'd be cool to use linux and set it up with that linux boot loader thingee
02:39.13KeyserSozeso you could boot a kernel right out of flash, and have the splash screen up in like 1-2 seconds
02:39.19ChipX86yeah
02:39.51darth_mallhmm... this looks like my first completely successful OZ install
02:43.26darth_mallhrrrrrrrm... multisync says it doesn't support Opie 3.x
02:43.36ChipX86it works, kind of
02:43.45ChipX86but barely
02:44.14KeyserSozekergoth: are you planning to stay in Tx if you leave TI?
02:44.21kergothhavent decided
02:44.30ChipX86you could come to Silicon Valley!
02:44.49zakno-one responded, so i am leaving.
02:45.09zakkergoth: before you leave TI, can you steal a calculator for me?
02:45.14zakor other cool toys?
02:45.36KeyserSozeheh.  you should go work with cdm, at apple
02:45.51zakhmmm. but...no
02:46.42zakKeyserSoze: i was actually responding to a comment via aim in the wrong window, so we are even
02:46.51KeyserSozehehe
02:46.52kergothKeyserSoze: wouldnt be a bad way to go, actually, but lacking a degree, that might be difficult
02:46.58Laser_DolphinHiya zak
02:47.02Laser_Dolphinzak: are you back?
02:47.07zakhiya Laser_Dolphin :)
02:47.22zaki am not back, i am leaving actually, need you anything at the office despot?
02:47.30KeyserSozeyeah, degrees are helpful in a job hunt
02:47.32Laser_Dolphinzak: an office plz
02:47.53darth_mallChipX86: did you say that Multisync works? or were you talking about something else?
02:48.38ChipX86darth_mall: it works, but you have to create the Settings and Application directories (I think those two) in the root dir (or symlink them) and then install some ftp server or something. I can't remember. I found a howto on a wiki
02:48.42ChipX86I'd give you the url, but it was on the laptop :/
02:48.55darth_mallthat's ok
02:48.56kergothheh, could do that, but i'm having trouble staying productive here, i doubt i'd be able to keep the current job
02:49.12darth_mallI'll find it, but right now it doesn't matter since I can't get my Z on the network til purple_cow gets back
02:49.28zakbye!
02:49.34ChipX86yay for designing this plugin from the start to be able to work with other netflix-type providers
02:50.00Laser_DolphinHas anyone seen slimspace|away recently?

02:51.44KeyserSozekergoth: around how many college credits do you have?
02:51.55KeyserSozeit's a PITA going to school while working full time
02:52.44kergothnot many, i only went to college for about a year, burned myself out, and never went back
02:52.55KeyserSozeSophie's been going part time for ever, it seems
02:55.33KeyserSozewhen I worked at L3, there were two guys from Sikorsky there
02:56.06KeyserSozethey both got MS degrees where sikorsky paid for credits, gave them time off from work to attend class, AND gave them a 10k$ bonus when they graduated
02:56.13KeyserSozethat'd be a sweet deal
02:56.28kergothnice
02:57.19KeyserSozeone guy went from making $35k a year, to over $70k a year, in his first year.
