[Grover Video]. The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah begins on the evening of September 28th, and this begins the Jewish New Year, the Birthday of the World. Rather than risk one of you trying to pronounce the traditional seasonal wishes, I will express them to you and the entire community in English. May you immediately be inscribed and sealed for a Good Year. Shalom.

(7:38:46 PM) Gadwil: I hope I don't get hit.
(7:38:47 PM) dman810: Keep it!!
(7:38:59 PM) dave_maydew: If you find a piece of satellite Ebay it!!
(7:39:05 PM) Gadwil: Did the feed die?
(7:39:12 PM) dman810: it is skipping
(7:39:15 PM) agamotto: stuttering a bit
(7:39:29 PM) chrisreich: no, that's how Eric stretches out time.
(7:39:31 PM) Gadwil: RobbieF, Do a feed reboot please.
(7:39:32 PM) swissandi: hiccup. yes
(7:39:33 PM) dave_maydew: I thought it was my end
(7:39:37 PM) raptor222: video is skipping
(7:39:44 PM) raptor222: stopped now
(7:39:57 PM) dman810: Must be just Eric
(7:40:04 PM) chrisreich: 70% chance it will land in water. duh.
(7:40:09 PM) dman810: wow thats scary
(7:40:39 PM) agamotto: Compared to the odds of getting an STD, not really....
(7:40:40 PM) Gadwil: EricKidd, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are now classified as "patches"?
(7:40:45 PM) GoodGuy: If a satellite nails you on the head, you really have bad luck
(7:40:48 PM) annoyance: Is that viewership live?
(7:40:55 PM) chrisreich: I can't get an STD.
(7:40:56 PM) dman810: Most of them will burn up thru re-entry
(7:41:18 PM) Mark_: wasnt there a tv show where a toilet seat from space killed a gril and she became some ghost etc?

(7:41:48 PM) ajamison5579: hopefully no one gets impailed by a satalite dish
(7:41:51 PM) Gadwil: Mark_, Perhaps a bad japanease anime show?
(7:41:58 PM) Mark_: Dead likie me, thats it
(7:42:00 PM) swissandi: the cat5 satellite puzzle
(7:42:04 PM) OldGuyJim: I suspect that debre has been falling quite some time...It's just the big pieces that are scary.
(7:42:11 PM) agamotto: I am have some bizarre memory of a sci-fi sitcom in the early 80's where a garbage scow went through space, collecting stuff like this
(7:42:40 PM) GoodGuy: What if parts are radioactive?
(7:42:44 PM) annoyance: salvage one , andy griffith
(7:42:58 PM) Gadwil: Forget the Police, I am calling and bragging to NASA that I have their stuff. I will do it through Tor though so I won't be tracked for a day or two.
(7:43:01 PM) chrisreich: not andy griffith
(7:43:26 PM) invinciblemutant: do you have time explaining about the eo-friendly UPS for the new server
(7:43:28 PM) chrisreich: Ben somebody
(7:43:28 PM) Gadwil: Recommend Gentoo
(7:43:33 PM) agamotto: hmmmmm ./configure make make&&install
(7:43:35 PM) annoyance: sorry who?
(7:43:41 PM) JVSCC: Its all the weeed.....
(7:43:51 PM) JVSCC: eh
(7:43:58 PM) chrisreich: Paula Prentiss's husband
(7:44:09 PM) GoodGuy: They thought they had a football team also lol
(7:44:18 PM) OldGuyJim: Acutally it was Andy Griffith...I liked the show....but as usual anything I like it doesn't last long.
(7:44:28 PM) spectre1055: Hey folks
(7:44:36 PM) agamotto: tarball
(7:44:39 PM) Scorpio55: dave_maydew the ISS is just approaching Canada on Gpredict
(7:44:53 PM) chrisreich: Andy Griffith was not on that show. I have collected all the episodes.

(7:45:04 PM) u-al: The He and She show. Paula and richard Benjamin
(7:45:14 PM) annoyance: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Salvage_1
(7:45:29 PM) chrisreich: That's him, Richard Benjamin
(7:45:35 PM) Scorpio55: dave_maydew we got AO-27 passing in 21:45
(7:45:39 PM) annoyance: it says it was andy griffith
(7:45:56 PM) invinciblemutant: put in ~/bin
(7:46:03 PM) chrisreich: wikimedia is in error.
(7:46:09 PM) dave_maydew: been listening to ARISsat-1 on 145.950
(7:46:10 PM) annoyance: O(h you're talking about Quark
(7:46:10 PM) invinciblemutant: then type bash
(7:46:22 PM) dave_maydew: the one the Russians threw off the ISS
(7:46:32 PM) invinciblemutant: chmod u+x pogoplugfs
(7:46:42 PM) chrisreich: Quark! that's was the name of the show!
(7:47:18 PM) invinciblemutant: sshfs may be requried
(7:47:18 PM) Scorpio55: dave_maydew I'll try and track it switching on 145.950Mhz
(7:47:37 PM) Gadwil: RobbieF, the --help option would be helpful there.
(7:47:51 PM) dave_maydew: On Gpredict is RadioScaf
(7:48:08 PM) Yazid1965: install fuse
(7:48:12 PM) Scorpio55: dave_maydew RR
(7:49:19 PM) Scorpio55: dave_maydew Just done a TLE update
(7:49:20 PM) iamboriskarloff [~David@60-240-68-72.tpgi.com.au] entered the room.
(7:49:21 PM) GoodGuy: http://www.pogoplugged.com/article/13974/How-to-Install-Pogoplug-Drive-on-Ubuntu-10.04-Lucid-Lynx/
(7:49:29 PM) dman810: Nice long command. it was fun for me to setup!
(7:49:31 PM) dave_maydew: It'll be passing in 8 hours
(7:49:32 PM) OldGuyJim: Folks, just beat a horse a little harder, check out images on Google for Salvage 1...Andy is there...however it matters not as it was a pretty good show.
(7:49:37 PM) GoodGuy: That web page may offer some help
(7:49:52 PM) Gadwil: Preload
(7:50:00 PM) spectre1055: Ditto, you need to install Fuse or the PogoPlug software won't work.
(7:50:02 PM) invinciblemutant: pogoplugfs --mountpoint /home/myhome/pogoplug
(7:50:10 PM) GoodGuy: http://brianhiggins.com/?p=5915
(7:50:18 PM) Gadwil: Gentoo doesn't need an SSD, it is fast by itself.
(7:50:19 PM) GoodGuy: thats more info
(7:50:21 PM) dman810: yes gadwil set it to preload is a great idea!
(7:50:26 PM) invinciblemutant: u need to provide the username and password
(7:50:33 PM) swissandi: it boots faster - and then runs 24/7 anyway
(7:50:38 PM) invinciblemutant: i have the username and pass in my home
(7:50:40 PM) agamotto: It's like the old Mhz wars
(7:50:53 PM) invinciblemutant: so i can skip providing username and pass for pogoplugfs
(7:50:59 PM) Gadwil: dman810, I wouldn't set it to preload, I would just install preload. that way it knows what I run most often and keeps them in RAM.
(7:51:01 PM) annoyance: Boot time matters!
(7:51:03 PM) Mark_: i use portable version, runs nice fast on flash memory
(7:51:13 PM) Scorpio55: increase memory usage in the Libreoffice options
(7:51:14 PM) Gadwil: No point in forcing something to be in RAM when I don't use it.
(7:51:33 PM) agamotto: slow? Has he tried booting M$ Office 2007 recently?
(7:51:41 PM) Scorpio55: tools/options/memory
(7:52:09 PM) dman810: Gadwil - i just have it start with the 'start applications' package
(7:52:31 PM) invinciblemutant: ugly icon on the notifier applet
(7:52:34 PM) agamotto: So, how much of my memory is that wasting?
(7:52:54 PM) Mark_: on win7 thats auto on, first thing i disable ehhe
(7:53:39 PM) Gadwil: I use Office 2010 Pro in win 7.
(7:53:41 PM) smittysmit [4ce25272@gateway/web/freenode/ip.76.226.82.114] entered the room.
(7:53:54 PM) Gadwil: Use " top " RobbieF.
(7:53:55 PM) agamotto: Hmm, I have never needed the autostarter....
(7:54:06 PM) spectre1055: I resisted using LibreOffice in favor of keeping Open Office because Libre Office would not recognize the hundreds of address labels I had made using Open Office. I've since switched to GLabels.
(7:54:11 PM) Scorpio55: in tools/options/memory increase the 20mb allocated for libreoffice to 64mb or 128mb
(7:54:11 PM) ajamison5579: 9 bagillion gb of ram
(7:54:19 PM) dave_maydew: A question to the Viewers... Has anyone got a FlyTouch 3 Android Tab? and has anyone got a HTC HD2 running Android?
(7:54:22 PM) smittysmit: Just tried it and it WORKS...yes!
(7:54:32 PM) invinciblemutant: could robbie explain how eco your new UPS for the server is
(7:54:33 PM) swissandi: same here, i don't like all those autostarters cluttering up
(7:54:33 PM) Mark_: i would use quickstart if i often used wordprocessing etc,, but use pc more for graphics etc
(7:54:35 PM) invinciblemutant: ?
(7:54:39 PM) chrisreich: 1.21 Jiggabytes, minimum
(7:54:42 PM) Gadwil: If it isn't up top in top, then it is negligable.
(7:54:43 PM) invinciblemutant: how eco-friendly
(7:54:59 PM) Gadwil: EricKidd, Ask Robbie when he will switch to Drupal. ;)
(7:55:01 PM) Gadwil: haha
(7:55:04 PM) spectre1055: I liked the tutorial you did on Open SHot, but I favor KDENLive. Could you do a segment on KDENLive in the future? Its great software.
(7:55:19 PM) invinciblemutant: ps -Af
(7:55:21 PM) JVSCC: Running honeycome on cell
(7:55:39 PM) Mark_: istn drupal 3rd outa top 3? WP>Jm1.7>D7
(7:55:53 PM) dave_maydew: Yeah, the HTC HD2 is running WinMo 6.5 at the moment
(7:55:53 PM) ajamison5579: i have 16gb of ram

(7:56:40 PM) dman810: night Raptor222
(7:56:45 PM) ajamison5579: and had to page the memory
(7:56:56 PM) ajamison5579: that is when my backup was validating
(7:56:58 PM) invinciblemutant: why not talk about the eco-friendly PSU for you the new server
(7:57:09 PM) Mark_: wish i could call, but mobile doesnt allow overseas calls from Australia :(
(7:57:34 PM) GoodGuy: Try Google Voice Mark
(7:57:37 PM) GoodGuy: ?
(7:57:39 PM) Scorpio55: Mark_ try google talk
(7:57:42 PM) EightMilesFromTJ: soffice.bin is using 25mb after closing open office after checking quick start
(7:57:49 PM) spectre1055: I will drop you an e-mail about my experience with KDENLive. Thanks for having such a great show....
(7:57:51 PM) dave_maydew: Just wondered if anyone had successfully flashed the HTC HD2
(7:57:54 PM) Mark_: onl.y gives me a 10 sec call from australika
(7:58:08 PM) Mark_: g talk only if im in US i believe

(7:58:56 PM) smittysmit: sorry...
(7:59:03 PM) invinciblemutant: salam guru...
(7:59:11 PM) Mark_: Google talk allows me to call someone for only 10 secs, so they can then call me back.. Havent bothere3d to use it for ages, been waiting for Free calls to cme to Aus
(7:59:31 PM) agamotto: ajamison5579- not I. Every system I have had Intel in gave me problems
(7:59:33 PM) invinciblemutant: bee hive
(7:59:56 PM) GoodGuy: I thought it was very cheap to buy minutes
(7:59:58 PM) ajamison5579: I have nothing against intel or AMD just AMD tends to be much less
(7:59:59 PM) invinciblemutant: it is 1am here Robbie

Viewer Testimonial
Congratulations for the new server, your show really is getting better and better in terms of quality with it.
We all see your effort keeping cat5 tv alive, and thank the crew for their endless support. We have seen Hillary and Christa away from show sometimes, but not Robbie. I think Robbie should tell the crowd what makes Robbie so determined and dedicated. You have earned some unprecedented respect in this, I think.
I am sorry I couldn't help much right now financially as a postgraduate, but I am definitely behind you. I think helping you to cheer up the community with interesting materials, that is what I can do right now to show my support. Keep it...
