[22:31] Say have you heard from Charles on the disk? [22:31] Hi Snogpitch [22:31] IIRC: The Architectural community generally didn't get into CAD until the late 80s to early 90s [22:31] http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Blank-Commodore-64-Cartridge_W0QQitemZ330015240066QQihZ014QQcategoryZ1247QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [22:31] Before hand, they did it by hand.

[22:34] back? [22:34] BryanP: Well it would be a seminar in name. More like ranting against the heretic and rainsing support for world conquest of the C=. [22:34] saw a kodak reel to reel movie projector at the good will today for $5 [22:34] LR> I didn't see my commen appear.. :( [22:35] Joe: I always get frustrated at the terminology. In fact on the BBS we had an area devoted to text adventures. called it "What are the Freaking word?" [22:35] Caricon: was that 8 o 16mm? I'm a audio Reel to Reel user. [22:35] * dracosilv (~dracosilv@CPE-65-25-186-132.wi.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [22:35] BryanP: well you dissappeared for a moment as well. [22:36] 8 i think.

I used it in college for some stop action wrok. [22:36] leo was after tis cart [22:37] 2 player only cart though and bad graphics [22:37] lot of EXMAINE ROOM, EXAMINE MIRROR, EXAMINE CHEST, etc before you could actuially do things. EXAMINE is a popular verb in Wolfman. [22:37] Caricon: well if you are dumping R-R stuff. I'm interested. If you want back into the field. I saw a few sites in a google search. Also restoring a tube Sony at the moment. [22:38] Ah that is where i failed. Did the examine but not the direction. [22:38] Joe, if you like that one. I told Robert that I can cut the Jack the Ripper, Frankenstien, Dracula ones as well. dox though where on an audio cassete. [22:39] LR> Wallace and Grommit! :) [22:39] Nah, I'm still a Judege Dredd fan bryanP [22:39] Ello folks! [22:39] I was once instersted in some audio r-r, but that has past. [22:39] and still can't spell sober. [22:39] Hoi CJ [22:40] LR, don't play adventures that much not sure how long I'll play this one, but thought the premise was nice and different. [22:40] I only have some r-r movies left, but need to find the market/person for them. [22:40] http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MON-64-Machine-Code-Programming-Cartridge-for-C64_W0QQitemZ330015262840QQihZ014QQcategoryZ1247QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [22:40] Caricon: I lost my mixing board.

[22:40] LR> me still like the Selvester Stallone flick.. ;) [22:40] [22:40] a lot of c= stuff on ebay here this weekend [22:41] Joe: Well I got farther in the others. Ther are some sound effects and colour digital pictures in them. [22:41] Caricon: I sold some old 8mm cartoons on ebay. [22:41] What I have isn't cartoons [22:41] BraynP: Cheeking a judge is still 6 months in an isocube. [22:42] Coould you get an image from some of them and use that for the picture on ebay? I don't see gfx myself. [22:42] Heya CJ happy split night [22:42] LR didn't see pictures beyond the title, probably was getting close. [22:43] BryanP: well when you enter the world here in Astoria I'll have to convert you to the true Judge Dredd. Like having you play the C=64 game of Judge Dredd. [22:43] LR: :) [22:44] Joe: Well in the Jack the Ripper one. Once out of the room, and turning into the alley. There is the pic of the girl. Dead with a slit throat. Mild to the historical record of Jack. At that point the crowd always gets me. [22:44] * Beeman123 (~Javauser@225-8.9-67.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:44] Ed, yeah, gotta love them splitz [22:44] CJ, any idea what CTRL-K does in Centipede? [22:44] BryanP: just be fast and accurate and not shoot too many civilians. The wild dogs are fair targets. [22:45] is it any server in particular that is splitting? [22:45] Eddiie: Hang on I have the manual next to me [22:45] me too hehe just can't figure out what it means..... [22:46] Appendix D [22:46] "copy a character entered at the curent column... Ah OK [22:46] hey snog, could you take a pic of your 128 diag cart? [22:46] LR> ever see SLedgehammer? :) [22:46] he shot civilians and still was the best.. :) [22:46] I don't have a digital camera other than my webcam [22:46] yeah [22:46] hi snogg [22:47] Im on eskimo and frogface theyre both stable [22:47] Well I haven't had a reason to use it. But from 6 years of running a Centipede BBs. I think it is more for dealing with the programming part. At least that is my impression. Like when setting up the menus. [22:47] BryanP: ah, no [22:47] scanner? [22:47] LR> and you mean the movie isn't gospel? ;) [22:47] snog has no digital camera? [22:47] LR you run Centipede? [22:48] LR> Sledgehammer was a TV series.. [22:48] woo hoo Sledgehammer [22:48] he had that big gun [22:48] about a guy and his.... gun.. [22:48] lol [22:48] BryanP: you mean the Dredd one? Absolutely the direct opposite. Trust me I can document all of that with the actual comics. [22:48] with the loudener [22:48] haha yeah [22:48] funny show [22:48] I want it [22:48] and Night Stand [22:49] Eddiie: Did till December when the HD went out. Maurice has it for data recovery. I'm starting to rebuild with a loaner HD. [22:49] oh yeah [22:49] what was the name of it? [22:49] Ah a T.V. show. Sorry, don' watch a lot of TV nowadays. Was without one for 10 years. [22:49] Eddiie: The Village [22:49] you lived in the village? [22:49] Yeah we are Prisoner fans. [22:50] lol [22:50] LR> this was from the 80s.. (IIRC) [22:50] No, but wish someday to go to Port Merion for the annual festival. [22:50] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) has joined #c64friends [22:50] Entered QRoom: WiggleWorm [22:50] Howdy WiggleWorm [22:50] And they used an A1000 on the police station [22:50] BryanP: Ah that explains it was out of TV from 80 to 91. [22:50] Hoi WiggleWorm [22:51] {WiggleWorm} Hi. am I on the irc now? [22:51] well that gives the show credibility. [22:51] {WiggleWorm} is a lot here? [22:51] Yuppers [22:51] Yep, you are on irc :) [22:51] {WiggleWorm} Good. I just had to type Irc c64friends. I am on my C128 [22:51] Lots of names, but I am being my long winded self as usual. [22:51] Great, I'm on my 128D as well [22:52] So how did you get into Q-Link ona c=? [22:52] good to see C= people on [22:52] with C= [22:52] That reminds me Wildstar. When are you setting up your 128? [22:52] {WiggleWorm} I have a linux server with a RS232 and the thing I for get now that Jim made [22:52] Any other folks hanging out in Qlink tonight? [22:53] havent qlinked in a while hardy ever folk there these days [22:53] Well.... when I get the RR-NET stuff squared away and some more table space. [22:53] {WiggleWorm} How do I see the peoples names in here? I know there is a way I 4get [22:53] Ah, right, Jim was working on a special one for me to also run the BBS as telnet and dirct dial. I understand how you are in there now. [22:53] <-- was on Thursday nite [22:53] LR> and he (Sledgehammer) used a lot of mouuse.. [22:53] I have to rebuild my RS-232 adapter an get into Qlink with the real thing [22:53] .//who [22:53] his hair was *solid* [22:53] {WiggleWorm} O ok I thought is was some // thing [22:53] {WiggleWorm} .//who [22:53] without the . [22:53] remove dot [22:54] {WiggleWorm} Yep that's what I did thank you. [22:54] Ah that hair style goes back a few days {G}. Back then I was wroking in Radio and had to have shorter hair than I have now, and the beard trimmed. [22:54] command //who [22:54] /who [22:54] {WiggleWorm} How meny in here are on C= computers? No a PC eliminating a C64? [22:55] {WiggleWorm} I ment not a PC [22:55] \who [22:55] hehe [22:55] 128D, Turbo 232 and the SCPU with Wave for me. [22:55] nice [22:55] hell... maybe. [22:55] did do it with my c= machines for 2 years now on pc [22:55] Now lets not start the definition of PC war again. This 128D says it is a PC. [22:55] lol [22:55] {WiggleWorm} A Jameco RS232 going in a RS232 of a small Linux server. [22:55] toshiba [22:55] As for me, I'll set up that 128D with RR-NET to the network at some point. [22:55] So does my 64C [22:56] * LordRonin is not fanattical. Just very biased. [22:56] my sx doesnt its a ec [22:56] {WiggleWorm} Okey how do you say it then. A windows computer I guess. [22:56] RRnet works in 128 mode? [22:56] So does my 64c Snogpitch. And my bread box 64s have similiar on the original boxes. [22:56] What is also be nice is that RGBI2SVGA converter by the A7.... guy [22:57] especially when it works (of course if) [22:57] WiggleWorm, well I prefer to use the term "heretic" myself. But I have been called biased. [22:57] I have a RGBi2VGA converter [22:57] using it right now [22:57] on a LCD [22:57] lately ive been using the sx to play rather long rpg;s [22:58] Heard a little about that unit. How does it work for 80c 128 mode? [22:58] {WiggleWorm} I am seeing this on a big 27" Olevia TV. LCD one. [22:58] Entered QRoom: Snogpitch [22:58] You have a RGBI to SVGA converter but not the one A7 is working on. It has an additional function that is being worked on as well.... [22:58] {Snogpitch} Howdy folks [22:58] * LordRonin on a 1084s monitor. [22:58] allowing for more colors.... [22:58] snog [22:58] Hoi Snogpitch [22:58] oh [22:58] {WiggleWorm} Hi Snogpitch [22:58] {Snogpitch} popped on the 64 for a bit [22:58] so Eddiie tell me about your BBS. [22:59] {WiggleWorm} This is a wide screen TV and has lots of inputs even VGA. [22:59] {WiggleWorm} Using S/Video for this commodore. [22:59] All I have for a TV is a 1702 [22:59] LR, thats a good picture [23:00] i am at least viewing this on a 1802 the toshiba has a composite video out [23:00] LR, its not up yet. Still werkin on it, but its a Centi board. I used to run Centipede back in the day when Adam first released it. [23:00] {WiggleWorm} I had to take my 1084 off the desktop so this 27" would fix. [23:00] Works for the Sattilite, Gamecube, PS-2 and the vids. [23:00] {WiggleWorm} I can only do 40 not the 80 screen now. [23:00] Pr0n [23:00] Eddiie: You know that Dynamite isn't running the hub anymore? [23:00] {Snogpitch} you can do 80 column with a monochrome cable [23:01] {WiggleWorm} Still waiting for the converter to come out that you can hook the C64/128 up to VGA. [23:01] LR,dynamite? which hub? [23:01] Waht board did you run in those days Eddiie? [23:01] {WiggleWorm} Yes. I know I can but color is better. But B/W better then nothing. [23:01] Eddiie, there is specifics involved that makes the one by A7... a little different than just a converter. [23:01] LR, it was called The Abyss [23:01] like?? [23:01] {WiggleWorm} I have it on my monitor cord all ready. [23:01] 40 column mode? :) [23:01] that'd be nice [23:01] The ComLink hub for the packets. He ran the Twighlight Zone out of Tempe Arizona. I have to work on getting another set of games from him. not in the distribution pack. [23:02] The idea is that when you send signals to it via the User Port, you would be able to change the colors of the palette. [23:02] LR, nice! [23:02] not looking to network though, kinda redundant now with the internet [23:02] Fidonet would be cool though [23:02] giving you potentially a whole plethora of more colors on screen than just 16 total colors. [23:03] I think I have heard of that one. Well when you are up and running. Let me know. I may be able to list you in the BBS lister. If I am up at that time. But I can send your board info to Al Jackson at 5C's for his list in the newsletter. [23:03] without even interlacing [23:03] LR that'd be great! when is it due out? [23:03] Well according to Rod Gasson. With the use of tools in his QWKRR and some programming work. Fido could run on Centipede. I'm jsut not that good yet. [23:04] me either [23:04] hehe [23:04] and who is Rod? [23:04] Al puts out the disks monthly. Ships them to me every two months. Just got them intoday for jul and Aug. Sent him an 81 of submissions. [23:04] and what is QWRR? [23:04] Rog Gasson with Gaelyne run videocam. He wrote QWKRR for the 128 and QWKII for the 64. Both are off line readers. [23:05] nice [23:05] *writing this down* [23:05] They are now free DLs from videocam.net.au also known as vcsweb.com [23:05] Rod is the guy at VideoCam in Australia that Lord Ronin has an email and accesses the Lynx browser, IIRC. [23:06] Right that is how I am here, telentted to vcs and then at the lynix promt just typed "irc". Here I am. [23:06] {Snogpitch} ya, irc on a shell acct is a piece of cake [23:06] If you go for the QWKRR one, get the V5+ one. Comes with print out dox. [23:07] Even has a twit file option. As well as taglines and a tag line thief. [23:07] ok [23:07] * Snogpitch will not ask about the twit option [23:07] thanks [23:08] Once I am reset I will grab another copy and set it up again. But there is one problem when using it. Only one attached file can be sent or recieved per email. And it will be either Basx64 or uuencoded. [23:08] Snog> and the optional "twat" [23:08] But if you use it for the Fido or newsgroups. You are limited to three lines in the signature from your ISP. [23:09] {Snogpitch} 3 lines is the netiquete thing... [23:09] Gaelyne told me that she used it alot during her days with the mag C=64 Alive [23:09] {WiggleWorm} Is Robert Bernardo Here? [23:09] Snogpitch, seen some that are almost 15 lines. And drenn IMHO [23:10] {Snogpitch} Not yet that I've seen, WiggleWorm [23:10] !seen robertb [23:10] <^Garth^> 0,1garth Last time I saw robertb, robertb was Saying Hi, Scott. in #c64friends 3hrs 5mins 44secs ago [23:10] {WiggleWorm} What name does he go by in here Snogpitch? [23:10] RobertB [23:10] or RBernardo [23:10] {WiggleWorm} O ok. I will know when he is here then. [23:11] {WiggleWorm} He is the one that post to come here right? Are we here at the right time? [23:11] Right time 6pm-9pm weat coast usa time. [23:11] {Snogpitch} Yep, right time, right place, right day [23:11] {WiggleWorm} :) [23:11] My clock says it is 8:19. The one on the bottom of the screen in Oz says it is 12:40pm on Sunday. {G} [23:12] and I still can't spell sober [23:12] it is 8:11 W coast time..

Hot in here and a nice pair of cold 40oz bottles would be nice. [23:13] {WiggleWorm} It's 11:12pm here. [23:13] working for commodore no less in the racecar division [23:13] Well it is at the least with Commodore [ducking] [23:14] LR> Hopefully taxes on ... *happy* beverages are less there.. [23:14] applied 2 years ago and had forgotten about it got a call on wednesday saying start monday [23:14] Hmm, well a 40oz of PBR is $1.87 plus 5 cent deposite and no sales tax. [23:15] www.hsv.com.au [23:16] LR> how bout a 1.75L of Jim Beam? [23:17] {Snogpitch} That would be an import for Garth [23:17] BryanP: Hmm, well not a metric fan myself and haven't been to the liquor store for a time. Can't say the price. But the store is just at the end of my block. {G} [23:18] $27 in NJ [23:18] was $18 in MA :( [23:18] i actulally work for a personnel company as i have done since arriving in au as far as i can tell this will be 2 months work [23:18] Seems high hig to me. But been a few yers since i bough a fifth [23:19] ya a couple of decades since I last bought a fifth [23:19] Last hard stuff Ibought was Cherry Herring at $19 a fifth [23:19] * questor (questor@office.endoria.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [23:19] And that was a couple of decades plus ago. [23:19] * questor (questor@office.endoria.net) has joined #c64friends [23:20] Last time I did buy one was back in the 80s for a 4th of July party [23:20] {WiggleWorm} Well every one. I have to get to bed now. It is nice to be on Q-Link. It's just late 4 me. bye [23:20] Have to go there soon and buy a botle of cheap whiskey. My turn to make the jungle juice for the sci-fi con in November. [23:20] mmm 80s [23:20] {Snogpitch} Niters Wiggleworm [23:20] BCNU Wiggle Worm [23:21] C y aWillgly [23:21] Left QRoom: WiggleWorm [23:21] jack daniels black label $32.90 at dan murhys here [23:21] Last time I tried to buy some liquor, they didn't sell flasks at that location [23:21] JD is always expensive.. [23:21] So, I did without [23:21] garth what is green lable going for? [23:22] LR> who is expected to show up at the sci-fi con? [23:22] My budget has just been beer and cheap wine for a few years now. Seems that I spend my bread on a certain computer more than on booze. [23:22] I just needed a small bottle of Bacardi 151 Rum [23:23] * BryanP has got Vamperilla's sig.. :D **BIG sigh** [23:24] Why oh why do I continue to play Joust? [23:24] Cory Doctorow is the Guest of Honour. Vincent DiFate is for the Artists and Ellen Datlow is slated for editor. But I know that others in the biz show up as attendees rather than guests of honour. Like the guys that wrote the Dream Park series. [23:24] * LordRonin has Mike Stackpoles signature on an original C=64 Wateland game album, right by his photo. [23:25] umm.. Vamperilla.. in her *costume*.. what little there was... [23:26] All this talk on alcohol reminds me that I never made the preservation copies of those C=64 bartenders guides. [23:26] she was cold [23:26] ... [23:26] !!! [23:26] There was a bartenders guide for the 64? [23:26] BryanP: Remember that I run a shop and live behind and dated the strippers, from the stip club. [23:26] True. [23:26] Anyone remember that mini arcade game thing from target last Xmas? [23:27] Yeah at least one that I remember. Have originals. Came in a box with a mess of cooking recipe disks. [23:27] The Williams thing. I didn't get to see one. I know Jeri did it. [23:27] or had a hand with it [23:27] Which besides the fanatical gamers and C= users. Would be another reason to move to jobless Astoria. [23:27] LR> now just get them to wear the Vampirilla costume!! 8-P [23:27] Any news from Jeri? [23:28] Jeri was talking about it last weekend, her part was good but they really cut costs on the monitor and mechanics. [23:28] BryanP, pay them enough, they will wear anything for ya [23:28] cant locate green label jack daniels cant recall ever seeing it [23:28] She's doing just fine as I can tell. I see from the new pics she colored her hair a little in a few places. [23:28] BryanP: Seen better than her costume at the ball that happens in costume at the con on Saturday night. After the girls have bren to some of the troom parties. Shan't tell you about the use of duck tape. [23:28] Snog> ture.. [23:28] Jeri talked a bit about the DTV driving game, played it a bit to prove you could win at it. [23:29] Caricon> interesting colour... [23:29] LR> ! [23:29] She doing some video work and learning the ins and outs of MPEG2 compression and viewing, thinks the C64 could reder MPEG2 at some quality. [23:29] I only saw one pic, and it mostly just looked like some highlight stripes [23:29] Time for the old hippy to run the nightly game. See all of you next week. Meanwhile time to get out the BFH for the printer problem. [23:29] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [23:30] LR > c ya! [23:30] I wish there was an RPG in my area... (sigh) [23:30] * BryanP misses doing Pen & Paper RPG's [23:30] start one! [23:31] nobody to start one with... [23:31] Maybe, I'm trying to start a Linux Group first. [23:31] what would the video output quality be? [23:31] I bet if you go to the local college, some folks would join up [23:31] I could do D & D... but I like RoleMaster more.. [23:32] I started a cribbage fad at Rio Grande College in Ohio [23:32] The two nearest colleges are at least 40 miles from here, in other counties. [23:33] I'm bored. Don't have to be to work till 9pm tomorrow. [23:33] Sat in the student union most of the day showing folks how to play [23:34] it's a simple game that can be stowed in a backpack [23:34] WS - I belive the quality of the game was very good though it was NTSC composite. [23:35] * MikeC (~MikeC@CPE000fb552ac59-CM001371b66e78.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.74 [Firefox 1.5.0.6/2006072814]) [23:37] JoeCommod, what does the Linux Group do? [23:37] * BryanP played cribbage two jobs ago.. :) [23:38] The purpose of the Linux group is to use Linux (like a Commodore Group buf for Linux) [23:38] any particular distro? [23:39] I know the local Linux group will load a copy onto your machine for ya [23:39] No, I think foinding people interested at all will be a challenge here. [23:40] Not sure if they show folks how to build machines, as well. [23:41] last time I saw them at the local computer show, they always had a crowd around their table [23:41] They used to have a big area at DaytonFest [23:42] ya [23:42] I'll probably start out with live distros and work up. The main goal is to develop a Linux Community in the area... [23:42] but I guess that is gone, or at least last time I was there it was [23:42] Is there a Dayton Computerfest this month? [23:42] I know they meet over at Wright State now [23:42] As I am transitioning to Linux at work and want to make sure there is some others in the community to take over years from now when I retire. [23:43] Wright State? wow...must be getting too small for Hara.. [23:43] No DaytonFest was still at Hara.. the Linux stuff at WS [23:43] * BryanP (~bryan.pop@c-68-39-30-26.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has left #c64friends [23:43] POlus it is a really good OS and is as much fun as a Commodore (more people doing stuff than buying). [23:44] DaytonFest can be held in just one of the rooms now at Hara arena [23:44] Our user group doesn't even go there anymore.. There is nothing there anymore.. just a bunch of used PC stuff or high priced new. [23:45] ya, high priced is right [23:45] I can get most of that stuff cheaper at work [23:45] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) Quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [23:45] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) has joined #c64friends [23:45] Entered QRoom: Snogpitch [23:45] And when tables were now $100 each. No more special for user groups or flee market [23:45] {Snogpitch} wow, Qlink pings out? [23:46] It was many years ago when CCCC had a table at Computerfest [23:47] DaytonFest is just mostly gone anyway. [23:47] almost got my commvex pictures ready to upload (no writeup yet)... [23:47] that's ok.. I want to see pictures [23:48] snap snap grin grin wink wink... [23:49] {Snogpitch} I guess I'll let Q rest for a while... [23:49] Left QRoom: Snogpitch [23:49] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) has left #c64friends [23:49] that should reduce smam im now blocking entire domains [23:50] smam? [23:50] too bad if folk use gmail just blolcked that [23:50] spam [23:50] blokcing gmail is not a real tactic [23:51] Someone go to Taco Bell for me, #2 with steak and a pepsi. I'll pay you went you get here [23:51] ok, see you in 2 hrs [23:51] ok [23:51] gmail is the main source of it as is hotmail [23:51] $4.00 + $75 delivery fee [23:51] I just had ribs, the best ribs I've ever made :) [23:51] I never did a dry rub until tonight. [23:51] :9 [23:52] lol [23:52] garth, you need a real spam solution [23:52] ouch! [23:52] Take I-69 north to Decatur turn off.. Go east 20 miles to 127. Go up a mile to Taco Bell, then go back south to 224 then east for 9-10 miles. [23:52] My house is the one on the north side. Has a 2 car garage next to it. [23:52] any more word on the collection? [23:52] will still block online email things though [23:52] nope, not yet [23:52] i dont use them [23:52] I'm still waiting return info from the guy.. [23:53] I love gmail. [23:53] i forward all my mail to gmail [23:53] was offered an account i rfused [23:53] refused [23:53] if you were using gmaill , you wouldnt be ahving spam issues [23:53] Garth, you just hate everything [23:53] i get very few through their filters [23:53] and NONE from other gmail users [23:54] That why I was suprised he's going to block the entire gmail list [23:54] see, the proble is, the spam from gmail is a forged retrun address [23:54] I view all my mail online.. just one click and it's all gone. [23:54] so you are blocking a place that is sending you no spam [23:54] i enail from my pc direct [23:54] exactely [23:54] I just look at all the spam to see what I get. [23:55] . ru is also blocked [23:56] ya .ru seems to be a blight [23:56] well, i wont debate the merits of true spam prevention, but I would say i am in a position to understand it better than most (moloch excluded) [23:56] Im happy with Gmails filters [23:56] for now. [23:57] i once had a hotmail account all it got was spam maimly from hotmail themselves telling me how great they were [23:57] Anyhoo, I gotta get going, you all have a good evening.
