03:48.24 | nick125_ | yep, already checked that |
03:48.47 | nick125_ | it shows the root filesystem being mounted before the freeing kernel memory part |
03:53.05 | nick125_ | maquis: im starting to run out of hope of getting it working ever. |
03:53.20 | maquis | nick125_: just keep working |
03:53.26 | maquis | you'll get it somehow |
03:54.26 | nick125_ | the kernel is recompiling..tried removing some stuff from the kernel to try to make it not have 560 kernel modules |
04:06.23 | nick125_ | got it down to 234 modules |
04:09.34 | nick125_ | umm... |
04:09.50 | nick125_ | i wonder if forgetting to install a system logger would cause this problem |
04:10.03 | findlay | doubt it |
04:10.55 | nick125_ | any ideas what would cause it to halt? |
04:11.14 | findlay | could be a lot of things |
04:11.59 | nick125_ | such as? (i would really appriciate it if you could help me figure out what is going on so i can fix it) |
04:12.12 | findlay | need info |
04:12.22 | findlay | what kinds of errors, etc. |
04:12.37 | nick125_ | it locks up at "Freeing unused kernel memory: xxk" |
04:13.34 | nick125_ | i tried doing stuff like appending init=/bin/bash in grub, and bash didnt come up, and, it mounts / fine |
04:14.07 | findlay | did you try a genkernel? |
04:14.16 | nick125_ | nope |
04:14.55 | nick125_ | i heard of alot of errors with genkernel and the xen-sources package..plus, genkernel is just not my type |
04:14.58 | nick125_ | :) |
04:15.18 | findlay | oh, you're talking about booting inside of xen? |
04:15.35 | nick125_ | im making the dom0 (the host system) |
04:16.24 | findlay | I probably couldn't help much then |
04:18.17 | nick125_ | somethings better then nothing :/ |
04:19.23 | findlay | experiment more? |
04:19.32 | findlay | that's about all I can say |
04:21.50 | nick125_ | i think its kernel, but, i have no clue where to look |
04:23.56 | findlay | my advice, which may or may not differ from a sensible person, then is to go systematically through menuconfig, remove every option that you don't need and read the inline help on the ones you aren't sure about |
04:24.11 | nick125_ | would commenting out the swap line in the /etc/fstab cause the problem? :/ |
04:24.38 | findlay | this may take a very long time, but after a few (dozen) recompliles you will have a much firmer grasp of how the kernel is designed at least |
04:24.48 | findlay | it might |
04:25.05 | nick125_ | i commented it out a long time ago trying to see if that was causing the problem.. |
04:25.20 | nick125_ | i think ive recompiled the xen kernel like..6 times..in QEMU |
04:25.22 | findlay | swap is not really that necessary |
04:26.25 | nick125_ | it looks like (i was looking at some dmesg logs) swap comes after the unused kernel memory is freed |
04:33.49 | nick125_ | i wonder if selinux is being a problem.. |

05:30.05 | dilvie | I kicked out the new knobtweakers design |
05:30.08 | levi | xbmodder_lappy: He probably finds that highly annoying. |
05:30.08 | elg | then someone else started grabbing hans when I stopped screening |
05:30.09 | dilvie | http://www.knobtweakers.net/ |
05:30.13 | dilvie | should be all valid xhtml / css |
05:30.14 | elg | so I just set elg as the default |
05:30.21 | dilvie | not fluid |
05:30.26 | elg | I'm mostly elg now. for at leat a month. |
05:30.35 | levi | elg: Someone keeps grabbing levi, but I keep kicking him. |
05:30.53 | elg | yeah I did that with hans for awhile, but felt sorry for the guy |
05:30.56 | mrpull- | ahhh... cool. i'm always interesting in nick origins (even when they are not interesting) |
05:30.58 | dilvie | yeah, urm. We have nickserv here. =) |
05:31.13 | elg | even though I shouldn't. I grabbed it fair and square back when they cleaned out the nick registry. ;-) |
05:31.17 | dilvie | mine is interesting! |
05:31.18 | xbmodder_lappy | I need to find leilas... |
05:31.25 | xbmodder_lappy | again |
05:31.29 | dilvie | mrpull: what's your nick origin? |
05:31.30 | mrpull- | ok dilvie: let us hear it! |
05:31.41 | xbmodder_lappy | mheath is my only way, but its he won't give me the answer. |
05:31.44 | elg | I still own it. sometimes I kick him when I need apower trip |
05:31.55 | elg | less fuss than turning off reply-to on plug |
05:32.07 | mrpull- | it is dumb. last name is pollmann... my friends used to call me mister pull to give me crap. i adopted it instead of fighting it. |
05:32.43 | dilvie | my nick was originally lynx (bbs days).. then I got on the internet, and there were too many people using that nick, so I changed it to dilvish (a character from Dilvish, the Damned, a fantasy novel by Rodger Zelazney). |
05:32.45 | elg | elg is danish for moose, btw. |
05:32.46 | xbmodder_lappy | :-/ |
05:33.16 | elg | nobody knows how xbmodder* got his name |
05:33.18 | findlay | I always thought it was E-L-G, (: |
05:33.19 | dilvie | I was hanging out on #trax in '95, just after it split from efnet #coders |
05:33.23 | mrpull- | elg: what is danish for elk? |
05:33.37 | dilvie | staying up until the sun came up, talking to a bunch of aussie demosceners |
05:33.39 | elg | probably elg. :) moose and elk are similar |
05:33.48 | dilvie | and they kept shortening it to "dilvie" |
05:33.51 | elg | not sure how similar |
05:33.55 | dilvie | and it eventually stuck. |
05:34.08 | dilvie | see how many references to geek culture I managed to cram into that story? |
05:34.13 | levi | I went by 'Hedgehog' on the Lower Lights BBS in SLC. I'm not sure why. |
05:34.13 | xbmodder_lappy | elg, oh, I used to hangout on EFnet in #xbins (xbox modding channel) |
05:34.24 | mrpull- | like how bison and buffalo are similar? ;-) |
05:34.30 | elg | I used to go by yodler |
05:34.41 | mrpull- | levi: Sonic? He was the man. |
05:35.00 | elg | it's still a cool nick, but my memories of me as yodler are a bit childish |
05:35.00 | levi | mrpull-: No, it didn't have anything to do with Sonic. |
05:35.26 | elg | sjansen would roll in his grave if he knew how I used to behave on irc. ;-) |
05:35.40 | mrpull- | dilvie: the nerd factor was pretty high on that one |
05:35.42 | levi | Heh. |
05:36.03 | mrpull- | elg: sjansen is dead? |
05:36.03 | levi | elg: Hopefully not like xbmodder and/or mheath! |
05:36.16 | elg | no, but those planes are kind of like coffins |
05:36.23 | elg | at least for big people like me |
05:36.30 | nick125_ | woah |
05:36.36 | elg | levi: much more annoying |
05:36.38 | nick125_ | no wonder why that kernel couldnt mount /dev/hda3 |
05:36.39 | elg | but maybe less arrogant |
05:36.46 | nick125_ | it didnt have ATA/ATAPI support |
05:36.48 | elg | you know, mirc, auto-dcc sound files, that sort of thing |
05:36.53 | elg | colors |
05:37.04 | elg | we didn't have bots where I used to hang out though. |
05:37.06 | mrpull- | elg: I cant see it. |
05:37.07 | dilvie | we should do a big #utah bbq this summer. |
05:37.12 | dilvie | that would be neat. |
05:37.23 | dilvie | everybody bring laptops |
05:37.27 | dilvie | show off our latest hacks. |
05:37.32 | elg | we can all irc while we eat! |
05:37.43 | dilvie | elg: of course. |
05:37.54 | elg | mrpull-: is that sarcasm? |
05:38.06 | elg | oh, and I forgot the netsplits |
05:38.12 | Newsome | hrm. Can we have the bbq next week so it's before I leave? |
05:38.33 | elg | undernet had some pretty impressive netsplits, and we figured out how to ride them, pretending to be other people and getting in time-delayed arguments with ourselves |
05:38.37 | findlay | Newsome: where are you going!??@! |
05:38.37 | dilvie | nick: mental note: ATA/ATAPI support = important. |
05:38.38 | mrpull- | elg: not at all. i gather you are a good guy. i've never thought you were being annoying. (Even when baited to) |
05:38.41 | elg | Newsome: where you going? |
05:38.43 | Newsome | moving to Chicago |
05:38.51 | Newsome | anyone want my job at BYU? |
05:38.54 | findlay | who will go to the court for groklaw???!@ |
05:39.06 | Newsome | not me. I've done my duty! :) |
05:39.11 | dilvie | Newsome: what's waiting for you in Chicago? |
05:39.13 | elg | mrpull-: phew. :) to tell the truth, I wasn't relatively annoying. it was par for the channel |
05:39.19 | elg | we all thought we were so cool |
05:39.21 | Newsome | I got a job at UBS |
05:39.31 | dilvie | what's UBS? |
05:39.45 | findlay | the season sponsor for the Utah Symphony? |
05:39.47 | Newsome | http://www.ubs.com/ |
05:40.00 | Newsome | hmm, |
05:40.16 | dilvie | findlay: are they? |
05:40.17 | dilvie | cool. |
05:40.24 | Newsome | Union Bank of Switzerland |
05:40.26 | findlay | yup |
05:40.34 | dilvie | What wil you be doing for UBS? |
05:40.48 | elg | heh. " a global financial firm with the heart and soul of a two-person organization" |
05:40.54 | Newsome | they've got 3000 Linux IBM blades |
05:40.59 | dilvie | will, rather. |
05:41.03 | elg | ibot, UBS is a global financial firm with the heart and soul of a two-person organization |
05:41.04 | ibot | okay, elg |
05:41.14 | findlay | (: |
05:41.25 | dilvie | ibot, what is UBS? |
05:41.27 | ibot | dilvie: what are you talking about? |
05:41.36 | findlay | ibot: yo |
05:41.38 | ibot | Yo wazzaaaap my brotha?! |
05:41.38 | elg | ibot, UBS also is a company with 3000 Linux IBM blades |
05:41.39 | ibot | I think you lost me on that one, elg |
05:41.55 | elg | ibot, UBS is also a company with 3000 Linux IBM blades |
05:41.56 | ibot | okay, elg |
05:42.00 | findlay | hans swap/also/is/ |
05:42.01 | Newsome | I'll be working here - http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100401 |
05:42.18 | nick125_ | must resist hurting stupid barking dog.. |
05:42.19 | findlay | ~UBS |
05:42.20 | ibot | hmm... ubs is a global financial firm with the heart and soul of a two-person organization, or a company with 3000 Linux IBM blades |
05:42.33 | dilvie | neat-o |
05:42.41 | elg | dilvie: I can probably get to it tomorrow, if you're around to test it |
05:42.47 | dilvie | I was planning a trip to Chicago this summer, but it's been cancelled. |
05:42.52 | dilvie | no UBS tour. |
05:42.53 | elg | it would be fairly anticlimactic to finish it and nobody to share it with |
05:43.03 | dilvie | elg: I'm always around. |
05:43.16 | elg | ah, but are you always awake? |
05:43.25 | elg | :) |
05:43.29 | dilvie | just address my nick properly, and I'll get paged |
05:43.32 | mrpull- | g'night all... time to go home |
05:43.35 | dilvie | ie, dilvie: come test! |
05:43.49 | elg | ok. I'll let you know if I get a chance |
05:43.59 | dilvie | Oh hell, tomorrow is saturday. |
05:44.04 | elg | btw, do you know of a good free VST-using prog on osx? |
05:44.29 | dilvie | elg: free as in open-source? |
05:44.34 | elg | free as in beer would be fine |
05:44.53 | elg | and also free as in I don't have to click through 10 pages and give out my pet's blood type |
05:45.28 | elg | and also free as in it won't stop working after two weeks or two hours |
05:47.20 | findlay | or pester you with popups that shamelessly switch the "yeah!" and "No way buster" buttons advertising the "pro" version that want to open up explorer for no good reason |
05:47.26 | dilvie | elg: renoise.com |
05:47.35 | dilvie | that's the software I intend to use it in. =) |
05:48.06 | elg | renoise 1.5.2 demo then? |
05:48.14 | dilvie | yeah. |
05:48.26 | elg | ok, cool |
05:48.42 | dilvie | the only crippled in the demo is the .wav renderer |
05:48.52 | dilvie | s/only/only thing/g |
05:49.02 | dilvie | wow |
05:49.05 | elg | I just need to test the VST thingie |
05:49.09 | dilvie | ibot is actually useless |
05:49.24 | dilvie | s/useless/useful/g |
05:49.32 | elg | heh |
05:49.44 | elg | -insult ibot |
05:49.44 | brac | ibot is a gleeking pile of squishy seagull puke |
05:49.55 | levi | Heh, gleeking. |
05:50.17 | elg | off to bed. cyas |

05:54.03 | maquis | dilvie: knobtweakers.net is your site, right? |
05:54.16 | dilvie | maquis: yes. |
05:54.59 | maquis | dilvie: the "what is knobtweakers" link is broken |
05:55.06 | maquis | just thought i'd pass that along |
05:55.30 | dilvie | maquis: I know. Thanks. =) |
05:55.40 | maquis | dilvie: cool :) |
05:55.55 | dilvie | hehe |
05:55.57 | dilvie | do you like the site? |
05:56.04 | maquis | looks pretty nice |
05:56.47 | dilvie | the "what is knobtweakers" bit is one of the many broken new features. =) |
05:56.59 | dilvie | it's just waiting to be slapped into the template and uploaded. |
05:57.01 | maquis | i've been trying to expand my music interests somewhat recently :) |
05:57.14 | dilvie | I also broke the music player. |
05:57.19 | maquis | :) |
05:57.22 | dilvie | and that's unfortunate, because it's very cool. |
05:57.30 | maquis | always good to at least know *what* you broke :) |
05:57.34 | dilvie | it plays the music that's hyperlinked on the page. =) |
05:57.48 | dilvie | I'm fixing the music player right now. |
05:57.53 | maquis | cool |
05:58.09 | maquis | does it require any plugins? |
05:58.09 | dilvie | working example here: http://www.knobtweakers.net/netlabel/ktwk001/ |
05:58.15 | dilvie | uh, flash, I believe. |
05:58.17 | dilvie | ); |
05:58.29 | maquis | erm... hmmm |
05:58.32 | dilvie | unfortunately, mp3 playback isn't built in to most browsers. |
05:58.34 | dilvie | ehehe |
05:58.36 | maquis | i really need to get that working |
05:59.04 | findlay | dilvie: what would you play otherwise? |
05:59.21 | dilvie | findlay: what do you mean? |
05:59.36 | findlay | for mp3 playback on the browser |
06:00.30 | dilvie | what would I play for mp3 playback on the browser? |
06:00.41 | dilvie | am I retarded? |
06:00.52 | dilvie | that doesn't seem to make sense.. |
06:01.12 | findlay | if mp3 playback is built into most browsers, you would play some mp3, right? |
06:01.33 | dilvie | findlay: oh, yeah, uh, you apparently missed the conversation. |
06:01.39 | dilvie | http://www.knobtweakers.net/ |
06:02.27 | dilvie | maquis: anyway, you don't need flash to appreciate the best of compilation, which provides a good overview of the type of music featured on knobtweakers |
06:02.29 | dilvie | http://www.knobtweakers.net/netlabel/ktwk001/ |
06:12.47 | maquis | dilvie: cool |
06:12.57 | maquis | i'll look through those a bit |
06:13.06 | dilvie | enjoy. |
06:13.10 | maquis | i will |
06:13.10 | maquis | :) |
06:13.53 | maquis | what does "not podsafe" mean? not for podcasting? |
06:14.42 | dilvie | yeah, it means don't put it in a podcast without getting permission from the copyright holder |
06:15.11 | dilvie | most of it is podsafe |
06:15.16 | maquis | ah |
06:15.17 | dilvie | but a couple pieces are not |
06:15.47 | dilvie | dance with someone else vocal edit |
06:15.47 | maquis | i'd never heard that term, but i'm not really into the podcast scene that much :) |
06:15.49 | dilvie | not podsafe |
06:16.03 | dilvie | hide and seek remix is not podsafe |
06:16.13 | dilvie | into the light -- not podsafe |
06:16.55 | dilvie | neither is fingerpaint |
06:17.02 | dilvie | or out of zone |
06:17.08 | dilvie | I think the rest are |
06:17.13 | dilvie | maybe. =) |
06:17.14 | dilvie | don't quote me. |
06:17.41 | maquis | :) |
06:18.02 | dilvie | I'm pretty deep into the online music culture |

17:42.28 | Uncle_Jesse | is there an Ubuntu repository somewhere with Firefox 1.5 in it? |
17:47.27 | maquis | Uncle_Jesse: you might want to grab http://uug.byu.edu/ubuntu.tgz |
17:48.04 | maquis | there's a script in there that'll update your sources.list, and it'll also give you some optons of some other cool stuff to install (flash, java, etc) |
17:48.22 | maquis | you can thank michael moore for it (he's come in a few times under the name stuporglue) |
17:49.03 | Uncle_Jesse | like the liberal michael moore? |
17:49.07 | maquis | no |
17:49.13 | maquis | like the uug's michael more :) |
17:49.14 | maquis | er |
17:49.15 | maquis | moore |
17:49.18 | Uncle_Jesse | lol - cool |
17:49.22 | maquis | :) |
17:49.28 | Uncle_Jesse | I don't think I've met him before |
17:49.30 | Uncle_Jesse | thx |
17:50.04 | maquis | he's also got some things as options on the script that you probably aren't *as* interested in (like "libraries needed for cs240 chess project") :) |
17:50.20 | maquis | but it's a useful script that i've started pointing out to people |
17:52.21 | findlay | think of him as more like Sir Thomas Moore |
17:53.43 | Uncle_Jesse | I think I'm going to reinstall with kubuntu instead as well - I like kde much better than gnome |
17:54.53 | findlay | isn't the difference just a couple of packages? |
17:56.02 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I guess I could just install kde, but I'm very interested to see how kubuntu sets up kde out of the box - gnome was very pretty on first install. |
17:56.47 | Uncle_Jesse | I'd say of all the distros I've tries so far, Ubuntu gets it - easy install, and it "just works" |
17:57.00 | Uncle_Jesse | and pretty interface out of the box too |
17:57.13 | Uncle_Jesse | looking forward to see if google does something with it |

18:00.20 | maquis | :) |
18:00.26 | maquis | i'm not certain, but i think so |

18:14.37 | digistic | ah, how does IRSSI prevent u from getting disconnected so much? i'll read about IRSSI |
18:15.04 | digistic | just noticed i have firefox 1.5 running.. i need to fig out how to upgrade it to patched ver |
18:15.20 | emcnabb | I ssh into my server that's permanently online, and run IRSSI from there in a screen session |
18:15.31 | emcnabb | so if my ssh session dies, I'm still connected |
18:15.37 | emcnabb | several people on #utah do the same |
18:16.21 | emcnabb | well, time to go run more errands |

18:16.49 | digistic | nice.. i'll read about it... i really like the gnome interface much better than windows. easy to customize with http://art.gnome.org/ |
18:17.36 | findlay | wow, now that I've run a torrent all night, all these wierd hosts are trying to connect to port 6881 |
18:17.42 | digistic | have fun... |
18:18.06 | digistic | thx maquis |
18:18.52 | maquis | digistic: np |
18:18.56 | lars-ut | $68 for 1GB SD card w/usb controller/connector from Costco |
18:18.58 | lars-ut | http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11092176&whse=&topnav=&cat=2255&b=1 |
18:19.31 | digistic | heh, now i just need to figure out what to do with the tgz file |
18:19.32 | findlay | can't you just take one GB out of a hard drive? |
18:19.37 | findlay | and use that? |
18:19.49 | maquis | lars-ut: that's not bad! |
18:21.18 | digistic | wusb would be neater probly |
18:21.48 | lars-ut | Did memory prices drop this week? |
18:24.41 | digistic | i don't have a "server" at my place..... i have my laptop which i take around..... |
18:25.02 | digistic | so not sure if IRSSI would do anything for me |
18:25.33 | maquis | digistic: borrow someone else's server :) |
18:26.00 | lars-ut | "Spot prices for flash memory have fallen 20 per cent so far this year." |
18:26.03 | lars-ut | http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=13817&Page=1&pagePos=3 |
18:26.12 | digistic | use someone else's? privacy? |
18:26.34 | maquis | digistic: get someone else to let you borrow their server and run irssi |
18:26.38 | maquis | that's what i do... |
18:26.55 | maquis | Uncle_Jesse: ooh |
18:26.56 | Uncle_Jesse | I could then turn my cell phone into a nano |
18:27.15 | Uncle_Jesse | and swap out playlists as well :-) |
18:27.29 | Uncle_Jesse | ipod really needs an apple-branded cellphone |
18:27.33 | digistic | define "borrow their server...." physically borrowing it? or utilizing their server's resources remotely? |
18:27.48 | Uncle_Jesse | I'd be the first to buy if it was a true smartphone |
18:27.50 | maquis | digistic: utilizing their server's resources |
18:27.51 | digistic | sorry if that appears silly |
18:27.52 | digistic | k |
18:28.08 | maquis | i just ssh into a server and run irssi there |
18:28.25 | Uncle_Jesse | wow - I can't believe the ease of setup of this Ubuntu install |
18:28.39 | Uncle_Jesse | I would probably proudly let my grandma use this one |
18:28.52 | mheath | Haha, I was just having this same discussion in another channel. |
18:29.00 | digistic | can't convince my grandma to use email, computer, etc |
18:29.10 | digistic | tempt her with picture updates, weblogs, etc... no go |
18:29.11 | Uncle_Jesse | maquis: that's how I'm chatting here - running off my server - stays up all the time |
18:29.12 | mheath | Ubuntu is nice. I think all I did was press enter about 4 times (with one reboot in the middle) |
18:29.19 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah |
18:29.25 | Uncle_Jesse | but you can also be specific if you want |
18:29.31 | Uncle_Jesse | seems faster than fedora too |
18:29.31 | mheath | It's the only linux distribution I feel comfortable giving to people who are only mildly familiar with computers and saying "Here, try this." |
18:29.50 | digistic | i'm running ubuntu now and am impressed.. although i'm a linux neophyte... save for a bit of knowledge and emcnabb's teaching |
18:29.50 | Uncle_Jesse | are they a public company? |
18:29.57 | digistic | not public, no |
18:30.08 | digistic | ubuntu is all about free |
18:30.12 | Uncle_Jesse | darn - I like to invest in technologies that impress me |
18:30.34 | digistic | maybe a spinoff company will actually support ubuntu.. u could invest in that if they were public |
18:30.52 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I have a feeling Google could be that support in the future |
18:31.01 | digistic | google?? |
18:31.02 | Uncle_Jesse | trying to decide if they're overpriced though |
18:31.12 | digistic | http://www.ubuntu.com/support/supportoptions |
18:31.14 | Uncle_Jesse | google "google and ubuntu" |
18:31.20 | Uncle_Jesse | or goobuntu |
18:31.32 | findlay | booguntu? |

18:31.46 | brac | [A-DATA Turbo 4GB Secure Digital (SD) Card - Retail at Newegg.com] |
18:31.50 | digistic | i'd stay away from GOOG for now |
18:32.09 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: $196 |
18:32.13 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I kinda feel the same way - they need to stable out a bit |
18:32.21 | Uncle_Jesse | lars-ut: that's cheaper than a nano too |
18:32.28 | digistic | Uncle_Jesse, : do u like technical analysis? |
18:32.42 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: some times |
18:32.51 | digistic | i've been learning and put some of my thoughts on a wiki: http://digistic.wikispaces.com |
18:34.35 | digistic | GOOG has negative divergence in Chaikin Money Flow, neg divergence in MACD, below 0 in MACD.. at RSI of 31.3 it is technically a bit oversold... not all indicators confirm.. most are negative.. i'd stay away |
18:35.16 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I also go off of gut instinct and my gut says to wait on this one |
18:35.23 | digistic | neg divergence in +DI for ADX |
18:35.28 | digistic | yah |
18:35.38 | Uncle_Jesse | I am very interested in seeing what Vonage sells for in its IPO though |
18:35.45 | digistic | i like stockcharts.com |
18:36.00 | digistic | IPOs scare me kinda |
18:36.25 | digistic | cuz TA is based on price history, volume, etc.. and there's just no data to support yet |
18:36.57 | Uncle_Jesse | I haven't spent much time researching out there. I generally just follow the analyst opinion, as well as hype and popularity of the stocks. I then watch their finances for long-term stability and to decide how soon to sell |
18:36.59 | digistic | vonage needs to implement QOS before peeps can take VOIP seriously in consumer sector |
18:37.08 | Uncle_Jesse | It's worked for me so far |
18:37.12 | digistic | u use vonage? |
18:37.16 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: yeah |
18:37.28 | Uncle_Jesse | I wouldn't recommend it for my grandma though, unless I set it up |
18:37.34 | digistic | how hard do u drive your internet connection? |
18:37.41 | digistic | dropoffs? |
18:37.48 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: pretty hard, but my linksys router supports qos |
18:37.55 | Uncle_Jesse | there were dropoffs before the qos |
18:37.56 | digistic | ahhh, which router? |
18:38.06 | digistic | did u install new firmware or stock? |
18:38.31 | Uncle_Jesse | linksys srx200, stock firmware at the moment |
18:38.37 | Uncle_Jesse | I've used other firmwares before though |
18:38.50 | Uncle_Jesse | you have to download the latest off their website though to get qos |
18:39.24 | digistic | i read IBD and like to filter stocks from IBD 100, IBD 85-85, IBD New America.. i import these stocks into stockcharts.com chart lists and look at the charts in candleglance so can see 32 charts at a time |
18:39.37 | Uncle_Jesse | I'm using the medium quality on the vonage settings, not many problems at all thus far |
18:39.51 | digistic | ok.. but why use vonage if u have a cell phone? |
18:40.02 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - that's a good idea on the stocks |
18:40.13 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: my wife likes to have a real phone to work with |
18:40.30 | Uncle_Jesse | also, for 2 cellphones it's more expensive |
18:40.35 | digistic | ahh, that's why i'm not married... don't have to buy vonage |
18:40.47 | Uncle_Jesse | than a cheap, low-hour family plan and vonage |
18:40.49 | digistic | makes sense though |
18:41.07 | Uncle_Jesse | I'm a big fan of it now though - get voicemail in my e-mail now |
18:41.21 | digistic | my company was looking at consumer voip for mobile workers |
18:41.22 | Uncle_Jesse | I'd love to see them offer a free desktop client though |
18:42.01 | digistic | did some analysis and recommended callvantage / vonage... but they just need to make QOS work out of the box |
18:42.46 | digistic | vonage seems much more mainstream than skype |
18:43.03 | Uncle_Jesse | I still think with the IPO they may be able to do that. I think the popularity and being the top in their game may make their stock go up on trading day. |
18:43.42 | Uncle_Jesse | The question comes, what is google going to be doing in regards to voip? |
18:43.46 | digistic | so you're going to watch it closely if u see momentum? and if so, hop on? |
18:44.00 | Uncle_Jesse | They do have google talk, and it could be an excellent advertising source and consumer data source. |
18:44.17 | *** join/#utah synic (n=synic@pdpc/supporter/student/synic) |
18:44.23 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I'm going to see what their stock is listed to start at and base my decision on that |
18:44.33 | lars-ut | I still have problems if I don't throttle down bittorent traffic - I wonder if I put my Motorola ATA on a DMZ if that will stop |
18:44.36 | digistic | the point of google talk is interoperability for chat clients..... |
18:44.49 | Uncle_Jesse | lars-ut: do you have qos on your router? |
18:44.57 | lars-ut | I still have problems if I don't throttle down bittorent traffic - I wonder if I put my Motorola ATA on a DMZ if that will stop |
18:45.03 | digistic | base decision on initial stock price?? |
18:45.05 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I am willing to bet they integrate it into some sort of voip solution though |
18:45.06 | lars-ut | oops |
18:45.16 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jess: yes - with pfsense |
18:45.37 | digistic | google talk? yeah, of course they will eventually... msn is doing this with live messenger |
18:45.50 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: what they're listing to start their IPO stock price at |
18:45.58 | digistic | live messenger, google voip talk... these will just be skype competitors |
18:46.11 | digistic | but i don't think it's a direct competitor to vonage |
18:46.53 | digistic | why do u care what the stock price is listed at? i only care about where stock price is trending |
18:46.53 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I don't think skype is a competitor, but I do think google could be. If they pull off this private internet like they want to, they will eventually essentially be a consumer phone service |
18:46.55 | lars-ut | Uncle_Jesse: I've only tried QoS by host address & traffic types so far though |
18:47.17 | lars-ut | port numbers/protocols |
18:47.20 | scottj | any recommendations on a good torrent client for windows? |
18:47.25 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: based on the stock price, I can guess whether I feel it is low or too high for it to trend up |
18:47.26 | lars-ut | utorrent.com |
18:47.34 | digistic | private internet? oh, all the dark fiber and sun servers? |
18:47.42 | lars-ut | scottj: Azureus is a pig |
18:47.52 | digistic | i dumped azureus for utorrent |
18:47.56 | lars-ut | me too |
18:48.19 | digistic | utorrent avail on *nix? |
18:48.23 | *** join/#utah nick125_ (n=nick@unaffiliated/nick125) |
18:48.27 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: they just partnered with a wireless provider out in CA, and plan on offering their own, free internet to customers willing to participate |
18:48.49 | nick125_ | yay xorg-x11 7.0 didnt screw up my system |
18:48.58 | digistic | i read about that... why do u think, UJ? |
18:49.05 | lars-ut | didigistic: not sure - I use bittornado from command line on *nix |
18:49.34 | digistic | ooh, command line torrent.. nice |
18:49.42 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I think if that works out, and they expand their service worldwide, it gives them grounds to own their own network for consumer phone calls |
18:49.50 | scottj | what do you think a reasonable P/E or maketcap for vonage is? |
18:50.09 | Uncle_Jesse | they are all about advertising, and the more consumer data and trends they can collect, the more targeted and valuable advertising they can provide |
18:50.28 | digistic | honestly, i don't care about P/E or market cap in making buy/sell decisions.. but others think differently |
18:50.38 | Uncle_Jesse | scottj: it all depends on the hype around the stock when it goes public |
18:51.22 | lars-ut | digistic: 'nice btdownloadcurses.py --url "http://s4.hopto.org:89/SSS_win_2006.01.iso.torrent" --max_upload_rate 1010' works well in a screen session... |
18:51.24 | digistic | wireless provider? like 802.11? wonder if wimax will take off.... or by wireless u mean 3g cell networks? |
18:51.26 | Uncle_Jesse | if there's a lot of hype and tv advertising, a higher price may be possible to go up. That is probably not the best way of deciding whether to buy stocks or not though - it's just what's worked for me |
18:51.37 | scottj | digistic: just a gut-feeling investor? |
18:52.00 | digistic | not gut feeling at all! i study TA and look at fundamentals via IBD |
18:52.06 | digistic | made 50% last month |
18:52.09 | Uncle_Jesse | scottj: that's more of my style |
18:52.31 | Uncle_Jesse | I rely a lot on the experts though |
18:52.43 | Uncle_Jesse | let them do the stat studying |
18:52.54 | digistic | i have an investing mentor too.... |
18:52.56 | lars-ut | ~emulate gir |
18:52.57 | ibot | dooom doooom doom |
18:53.15 | digistic | Uncle_Jesse: I agree... I like to read the experts views too... |
18:53.40 | digistic | well, the experts i take creedence in |
18:53.45 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - it's hard to say any one method - I just kind of take the lump sum of it all, and then rely on my gut feeling |
18:53.54 | digistic | yup |
18:54.01 | Uncle_Jesse | Suze Orman always says if your gut says no, then don't do it, and I agree |
18:54.50 | digistic | so u like ETF's? stock portfolio? |
18:56.04 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: what's an ETF? |
18:56.24 | digistic | exchange traded fund.... like a mutual fund without the fees, i think |
18:57.06 | Uncle_Jesse | ah - haven't dealt much with those. I do most of my trading within my IRA. |
18:57.16 | Uncle_Jesse | I like International funds |
18:57.24 | Uncle_Jesse | at the moment at least |
18:57.30 | digistic | which ones? |
18:57.43 | digistic | good time to be bullish on telecom stocks |
18:57.46 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I'm doing one from Fidelity at the moment that's done well for me |
18:58.08 | digistic | oh, just general international and not focused on a certain country or region? |
18:58.20 | Uncle_Jesse | RHAT did well for me a couple years ago - 5x the price I bought it for now |
18:58.25 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: yes |
18:58.56 | digistic | 5xer? very nice... |
18:59.18 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - that's a little known one that has done very well |
18:59.19 | digistic | i'm in CHRW and BMD at the moment |
18:59.42 | Uncle_Jesse | ~quote CHRW |
18:59.55 | digistic | oh, heh.. nice |
18:59.57 | Uncle_Jesse | ~quote BMD |
19:00.09 | Uncle_Jesse | what companies are those? |
19:00.18 | Uncle_Jesse | (or funds) |
19:00.31 | digistic | CH Robinson Worldwide (Trucking Firm) |
19:01.02 | Uncle_Jesse | interesting - wouldn't that go down though with gas prices doing what they are? |
19:01.04 | digistic | Birch Mountain Resources (metals or other natural resources i think) |
19:01.15 | digistic | transports had been doing well |
19:02.06 | Uncle_Jesse | interesting - haven't thought of those to do well lately |
19:02.14 | digistic | i've seen experts i care about recommend CHRW recently.... it struck above resistance, and i swooped in |
19:02.15 | Uncle_Jesse | wonder why they're doing well now |
19:02.42 | Uncle_Jesse | gas prices just scare me away from anything that uses gas-related |
19:02.50 | digistic | not sure.... not sure i care... only care that they are doing well ;) |
19:02.55 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - definitely |
19:03.09 | Uncle_Jesse | gut and trends are what to go by for sure |
19:03.33 | digistic | yeah.. and if trend starts to weaken or change... then i slowly sell off |
19:03.34 | Uncle_Jesse | my flaw is I let logic overpower my spending at times |
19:03.49 | Uncle_Jesse | I could have made a ton with Google had I just followed my gut |
19:03.57 | digistic | was heavy in AAPL and sold all @ 84 a while ago |
19:04.06 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: I wish I had back then, too |
19:04.14 | maquis | ~verbify sjansen |
19:04.20 | digistic | i've actually just started investing for real like 6 months ago |
19:04.24 | Uncle_Jesse | I'm going to have to wait until Christmas season again I'm worried |
19:04.46 | digistic | worried about AAPL? |
19:04.57 | Uncle_Jesse | I've been doing it on and off for the last 7, but I'm by far no expert |
19:05.14 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: not too worried, but I have a feeling they're not going to go back up to 84 until EOY |
19:06.18 | digistic | AAPL just going through a correction.. i'll look to get back in it eventually.... trying to pick out the bottom.... |
19:06.56 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I'm hoping |
19:07.11 | digistic | they have cool products in the pipeline... new version of OS X, Mac Mini DVR, wireless Ipod, Ipod with touch screen interface |
19:07.17 | Uncle_Jesse | I'm holding off on selling though until they get to at least 80, depending on the trend |
19:07.34 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I'm kinda hoping those drive the stock price |
19:07.41 | Uncle_Jesse | I think they're on fire right now business-wise |
19:07.43 | digistic | read an article on digg showing how a nano substance could be used to harden the screen on ipods to prevent scratches |
19:07.52 | digistic | holding off on selling? |
19:07.56 | Uncle_Jesse | that would be cool |
19:07.59 | digistic | hoping it gets higher...? |
19:08.01 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: yeah, for now |
19:08.09 | digistic | i assume you already have a profit? |
19:08.21 | digistic | you're prob a more long-term investor |
19:08.29 | Uncle_Jesse | digistic: not really - I just bought them end of last year around $70 or so |
19:08.46 | digistic | i'm gonna look at the chart now |
19:09.01 | Uncle_Jesse | I bought off of their fire, also due to Christmas season being a good time for retailers |
19:09.08 | maquis | gah |
19:09.23 | Uncle_Jesse | well, last christmas season at least |
19:09.32 | digistic | the chart still doesn't look good |
19:09.44 | digistic | it very well may go down a fair amount more |
19:10.17 | digistic | could see it hitting 60... prob no lower than 55 |
19:10.32 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah |
19:10.38 | digistic | 6 month support is there |
19:11.06 | Uncle_Jesse | well, I've gtg - gotta logout and get some work done |
19:11.16 | digistic | but no doubt it will recover |
19:11.23 | digistic | ok UJ, nice meetin ya |
19:11.23 | Uncle_Jesse | yeah - I agree |
19:11.26 | Uncle_Jesse | you too digistic |
19:12.25 | scottj | digistic: what investing software do you use? |
19:12.44 | digistic | just web stuff, really |
19:12.54 | digistic | stockcharts.com for Technical Analysis |
19:13.18 | digistic | and i like to look regularly at charts in IBD 100, IBD 85-85 and IBD New America |
19:13.35 | digistic | candleglances.. so i can see lots of charts at same time.. more efficient |
19:14.20 | digistic | i like that.. because i'm looking at a universe of stocks with good fundamentals.... and then i just focus on good charts |
19:14.32 | digistic | but i also monitor trends in the general market and hot sectors |

19:22.17 | scottj | another thing I want is to be able to graph anything, such as %change of NI |
19:24.17 | digistic | which indicators or categories thereof are u interested in? |
19:25.11 | digistic | yeah... that's the ticket... formulate your system and then backtest it... of course, it won't necessarily work in the future but it can make u feel better |
19:26.05 | scottj | I've got a whole lost of them at work, I don't remember them all right now, but you know, tax, productivity, trade, exchange, inflation, spending, ... |
19:26.12 | scottj | s/lost/list |
19:27.13 | scottj | TA just looks at graphs to guestimate if they'll go up or down right using patterns? |
19:27.27 | scottj | s/right// |
19:27.47 | scottj | coool, didn't know ibot did that |
19:28.12 | scottj | oh, because I never put the last / |

20:03.42 | digistic | i have firefox 1.5 running in ubuntu breezy... but "help -> check for updates" is greyed out |
20:04.26 | scottj | digistic: is there anywhere you can get current prices for free? |
20:04.42 | digistic | real time prices? |
20:04.53 | scottj | yeah |
20:05.02 | digistic | integrating with? |
20:05.37 | scottj | ? probably to put in a db |
20:05.37 | digistic | i've read about this, haven't played with it too much: http://www.quotetracker.com/index_nn.asp |
20:05.38 | brac | [Medved QuoteTracker] |
20:07.35 | scottj | what about just data? |
20:07.54 | digistic | i don't understand how you want to see the data |
20:08.12 | digistic | u want stock prices logged each second? minute? hour? |
20:10.12 | scottj | like, I want an easy way to get the current price, or request the price at a given time, and also get data about volume etc. |
20:10.17 | scottj | like from a db |
20:11.53 | digistic | what's the point of real-time data if you're looking at it historically? |
20:12.15 | digistic | maybe i misunderstood the earlier question |

20:17.17 | scottj | well the real time data would be helpful if I was actually making trades |
20:26.57 | digistic | i pay $10 a month for real-time info at stockcharts... think u can get free stuff with that medved quotetracker.. and think u can log data from it |
20:26.59 | digistic | but u'll have to check |
20:27.18 | digistic | ok, trying to upgrade firefox from 1.5 to 1.51... |
20:27.33 | digistic | downloaded the firefox file and extracted it... |
20:27.54 | digistic | assume i should just copy the contents to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox ? |
20:28.48 | digistic | ran "sudo cp *.* /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox" |
20:28.56 | digistic | then i ran firefox again... but old ver |
20:30.04 | digistic | without sudo, i see "can't create reg file... permission denied" |
