[21:09] Howdy Antares51 [21:09] Greetings programs! [21:10] You there KP? [21:10] I should watch Tron tonight. It will improve my mood. [21:10] Oh well... [21:11] I enjoy Tron. [21:11] I was going to watch Naked Lunch.... [21:11] {ShadowM} I like Existenz. [21:11] Hey Snogpitch [21:12] just got thru watching Star Trek TOS. [21:13] Was that the enhanced version? [21:13] Yes indeed. [21:14] I've yet to catch an episode of that.... [21:14] Now for a cup of hot cocoa. [21:15] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) has joined #c64friends [21:15] Howdy LordRonin [21:15] [21:15] LR! [21:15] Hoi Snogpitch [21:15] Hoi Antares51 [21:16] I went to a library sale this morning, picked up a few LPs and a single book [21:16] So what have I missed so far on C= stuf? [21:16] Snowing here. [21:16] Not much going on tonight... [21:16] All i did was work with EdStar II on some articles for the local group. [21:16] Other than QLink seems to be working again [21:17] {ShadowM} Sure does! [21:17] Antares: Had our snow over a week ago Good 1 1/4", forst time in about 15 years. [21:17] Well once I work out with Destined on the Linux box. I may be able to connect to the new Q. [21:18] We had 3.7 inches last Sunday. Expecting up to 8 inches by noon tomorrow. [21:18] OK for a C= question. Has anyone worked with that 3 volume set of Baacis Programming from CBM? [21:18] Cincinnati is expecting 3 inches of snow tommorrow [21:18] That is about the rain for us around here. [21:18] Thursday I got a free copy of MS Office 2007 pro. [21:18] Had 8" in 48 hours a few weeks ago [21:19] Great bring it over. I need to resight my rifle [21:19] Bravo! [21:19] LordRonin, supposedly CCCC did a series of lesson plans on the CBM Basic Prg'ing but that was before I joined [21:19] There is no truth to the rumour that I am biased for the C=! {T'aint a rumour} [21:20] Trying to learn BASIC8. [21:20] * JavaUser (~Javauser@216.139.104.74) has joined #c64friends [21:20] <_Six_> Meerp [21:20] Snog*: We went through the first book and a half. Really boring I have to say. But I found them again and my disks for them. Going to start #16 off on them. Ah he may not be here tonight. As he is in Salem for Nat. Guard stuf. [21:21] That's not Gortek and the Microchips lesson plan is it? [21:21] Nope. [21:21] Got that one for the Vic [21:21] <_Six_> schema: cincy.ath.cx [21:21] That is the only one I've seen [21:21] One I am talking about was presented by Canadian CBM. English measurements and terms and spelling. But it was used at Space Camp for a while. [21:22] <_Six_> erp [21:22] rrip. [21:22] Howdy _Six_! [21:22] But the lessons tend to go too much into biz style stuff. In regards to the examples. Like I am not interested in doing a pound to lira convertion or setting up for a football schedule. [21:22] You coming to the CCCC meeting tommorrow? [21:22] <_Six_> aye [21:22] Hoi Six [21:23] <_Six_> hola [21:23] So Six wheree did you get that C= sticker on your van that I saw a couple newsletters ago? Look real nice on my shop or if I can find one. [21:23] <_Six_> Heh. Made it myself. [21:23] * JavaUser (~Javauser@216.139.104.74) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:23] <_Six_> Got a vinyl plotter. [21:23] <_Six_> I can make you one if you like [21:24] Cost for some for my group = ? [21:24] <_Six_> They don't really cost anything to make. I usually use scrap I have left over from paying work. [21:24] Though I am a bit low in the $$ at the moment. Cold snap. Couple hundred on gas and again for elecitric. [21:25] <_Six_> I'll hook you up with a handful of them. Email your address info to six@thedarkside.ath.cx [21:25] Talk you out of up to 10 if you have them? Like to gift some of the members. Oh did Snoggy get to see our October issue? That is the one I used the Impression stamp upon. [21:25] Maybe he can sell some to his clubmembers :) [21:25] * Chas (Chas@216.139.104.74) has joined #c64friends [21:25] <_Six_> Bah on that. [21:25] Howdy Chas [21:25] I've been playing with my new quad open-reel deck. [21:25] <_Six_> I'll bring the plotter to C4 and cut whatever you guys want. [21:25] <_Six_> bbiab, taking the Mrs. to the movies. [21:26] Scrawled that down. Many thanks from me and the group. [21:26] Hello Snog, great to get a X-=mas card from you [21:26] Hoi Chas [21:26] Hello Chas. [21:26] Hello to all [21:26] Ya, Christmas cards seemed to get out late this time around... [21:26] Antares: How many heads on your quad? Is it an SK unit? I have a few Quad factory tapes laying aobut. [21:26] Hey _Six_ [21:27] Three head Teac A-3340S. [21:27] Don't say that Six. Or I'll ask for a D30 in blue and white [21:27] I also have a dbx 124 unit. [21:28] Mine is not quad, running a 4 head Sony. Allows me to hear a playback from the tape as I record. Had a url for a place that sells R-R supplies. [21:28] Don't have to convince you that the best sound comes from a R-R machine [21:28] My unit has Simul-Sync. [21:28] How new? Mine dates to the 70s [21:28] 1978. [21:29] NAB 10.5 reels. [21:29] Good deal, you have a supplier for tapes? [21:29] 10.5 reels? Not following [21:29] I remember trying to look for a R-R deck back in 81, darn impossible to find unless special order even at an Audio dealer [21:29] Sure do. I use Quantegy (formerly Ampex). [21:30] Big metal reels. [21:30] Snogpitch: Got a Sony tube job I am restoring that will go up for sale in a while. But if I fix it and you want it. Have Robert bring it to you. Weight a ton. [21:30] Recorders are still made. Try Tascam. [21:30] I'll pass on the offer at this point... [21:30] I understand now. I'm used to the home 7" reels and the, Frell forgot the size of the big metal ones we ran at 15ips at the radio station. [21:31] Reproduction is phenominal with dbx. [21:31] * RobertB (rbernardo@shell1.iglou.com) has joined #c64friends [21:31] * ChanServ sets mode: +o RobertB [21:31] yo [21:31] Mr. Bernardo, sir. [21:31] Hello Robert [21:31] The radio station I volunteered at, bought an Otari and that kind of was the bug that make me want to get one [21:31] Sitting on about 300 7" reels at the moment. have to clean and demag the heads on my system. OR if that isn't the case, then the CD input is the wrong impedance on my amp. [21:31] Howdy RobertB [21:31] Hoi Robert [21:32] Hi, Mark, Antares, Dave M., and Snog. [21:32] And Chas and Mark. [21:32] We had Sony Mono machines in a rack at the College station and later when I did AM radio. Found one of them for $1.50 at the thrift store. Just had to biuy it. [21:32] Trying to find prerecorded tapes. I have one by Hugo Montenegro. [21:32] probably needs a lower level, LordRonin, I remember when I first got a CD player, it was loud compared to the other a/v items I had hooked up [21:33] I could have bought a shopping bag of R-R tapes at the library sale today... [21:33] Looked at a Donna Summer tape :) [21:33] Interesting. [21:33] i have several that I found for 50 cents each at the thriftstore. Made a bulk deal on them. I heard that ther are still some being made. Like the high grade albums still made. But don't know where to search. I used to order mine through Barclay & Crocker for classical. [21:34] B&C are no longer. [21:34] At first I thought it was a boxed set of 7inch records, until I opened the box [21:34] Sngpitch: Score them and I'll buyt them from you. Getting tired of winding 8 tracks for extra rels of tape. [21:34] Snog, wouldn't it be better to hear a Donna Summer tape than look at it? ;-) [21:34] Robert got my collection of the 10+" tapes a few years ago from my radio station days. [21:34] Today was the last day of sale...next time it happens is next year [21:34] I'd like classical or Henry Mancini. [21:35] Yup, I have them. [21:35] OK check the trash bin then [LOL] [21:35] Oye! [21:35] Say Robert did you post that box yet? Reason I ask is some questions about postal deliveries here. [21:35] It's at their library warehouse, probably they will have them still next year if they weren't purchased [21:35] BRB one of those nights, need more beer. [21:36] It's in my car, LR, ready to be posted. [21:36] I just had a steaming hot cocoa. Yum! [21:36] Mmmm. [21:37] I could've had a hot tea. [21:37] Robert: Cool, I am flatting your MSD booklet at the moment. Got bent when it was in my pocket after the motel that day. Then lost for X amount of time. But found!!! [21:37] Ah, I just have raspberry iced tea here. [21:37] I have lemon tea. [21:37] * LordRonin got PBR for the night. Avoding the explosion [21:37] Flattening? Under several tons of weight? ;-) [21:38] ^ [21:38] No just a few books and magazines. Not the megladon Tawny kitty kat. ;-? [21:38] Ah, Megaladon. :-) [21:39] What? from me you should be expecting good spelling? insert yiddish accent> [21:40] Oy! [21:40] Oye! [21:40] Right then straight away. Here is the big question to embaress all this week. What have you done on your C= system this wek? [21:40] ...and stuff. [21:40] I'm chatting through it right now. [21:41] I started practicing with BASIC8. [21:41] Ah properly that is "Oy wier ist meir Gevault". Which is about all the yiddish I remember from me father. [21:41] {ShadowM} Hooked it up to a Linux box as a dumb terminal using a BI-80 and Kermit. [21:41] Mine is from Thailand. [21:41] Robert: Past the general use of the C= for Inet thinggies. [21:41] Antares: Did you know there is a Geos thinggy that will show Basic 8 and I paint? [21:41] Looked at Mini-Office 2. [21:42] I do indeed. [21:42] Hmm, that sounds familiar. What is the name of the application? [21:42] ShadowM: OK you have made the other thing realise its position in the scheme of things. [21:43] I can't remember now. I got the web site marked. [21:43] Now for me it was try to reprogramme the 5C's basic engine for a disk mag reader. Failing quite well I must add. Writing in EdStar some submissions and articles and making game related things in GeoPaint. [21:43] {ShadowM} Yes LR, Linux box knows who's boss :) [21:44] Robert: I put it on a club disk last year. Have to dig it out from that as the copy on the hd is with the man that we shall term Voldemort. [21:44] My box gets moved next week. [21:44] Wish I could say that I had time to work on the BBS. But I was called on a prior comitment. Giving Game lectures and lessons. [21:44] Voldemort! From Transylvania! [21:44] Robert: Have to see if I can add it to the disk I am making for you. [21:44] * RobertB with bad Romanian accent. [21:45] I told Mr. Potter to get a shave! [21:45] Robert has not used Harry Potter books for his literature course I see. ;-? [21:45] Nope, I don't teach literature. [21:45] .or else. [21:45] FWIW: They had to pay the chick that plays Hermione more bread before she will do the next two films. [21:46] Chick? [21:46] Robert What not as a part of the English course for english appreciation? Seriously I had that in Jr. Hi in my day. [21:46] I think about the future all the time. [21:46] Chick = pre feminst terminology in relationship to a good looking member of the human race that is female. [21:47] No Harry Potter books in my class (unless they are read by the students independently). [21:47] You mean young actress. [21:47] Antares51: So did Robert Heinlein. Are you becoming a Sci-Fi Witer? He said with great hopes. [21:47] Quote from "Back to the Future III". [21:48] Ah Robert remember that I predate the current vouge of political corretness. [21:48] Vogue? A Madonna song or a magazine. [21:48] Maybe that is why I got invited to the Hippies 4 life part of that eons.com group Now to convert them to the sacred C=. [21:49] Keep America beautiful: Give a hippy a bath! [21:49] Keep America educated-turn off the TV! [21:50] Bravo! [21:50] Only Madonna I know of is a line and song in the album "Hair". Magazines well are more C= and Martial arts orientated. Since there arne't any worthwile build projects in Po. Electronics anymore. Then again we can talk about Game magazines. Wrote for a couple of them. [21:50] I have MS Word 2007 running in the background. [21:50] At the Whole Earth Festival at U.C. Davis every spring, all the hippies come out to celebrate with food, dance, and the arts. [21:50] Antares51: Nope like the line "Girls keep America beautiful, Wear mini skirts." [21:51] !!! [21:51] Just not my wife. [21:51] Ah, that reminds me to look for the current issue of RetroGamer magazine on the newsstands. [21:51] Anares: Right background. The proper place for anything not C= [21:52] Antares: I should perhaps be asking why? [21:52] Agreed. I prefer Superscript. [21:52] Just in case the muse strikes (hard?). [21:53] Geos/Wheels for me. Haven't tried Superscript. But several forms of Word Writer and Pocket Writer. [21:53] I prefer ZED and the Write Stuff. [21:54] No time for the "muse" for me. Have things for the game group to write. Local group to write and I owe Nigel at Commodorefree several submissions. [21:54] * Antares51 likes his editors small, fast and flexible. [21:54] And yes, I've used vi. [21:54] I noticed CCCC got two mentions in the last CommodoreFree [21:55] Yeah that was cool [21:55] I had the entire Pocket series once, Pocket Writer, Pocket Planner, Pocker Filer....liked using them [21:55] ...and microemacs. [21:55] Well I like the spell checker in Geos. Which reminds me to remind Robert about that zip file of the GeoDictionary. As it contains the only copy of my personal Dictionary. Help with future spell checkings. [21:55] Oh, I have the printed copy in my car, but I haven't looked at it yet. [21:55] I got 'em somewhere. [21:55] I've looked at about 1/2 of it...still need to find time to read the rest [21:55] Zed is OK, but I wish it had a word wrap. We use it for fast ascii to standard PET convertions. [21:55] Oh, I have to dig that out, too? [21:56] Antares: I use pico and pine. [21:56] Soon I'll have a web site up with a picture of myself and my C128. [21:56] Snogpitch: Haven't seen that one yet. Got a few replies to make to Nigel. He nail mailed me the first two issues in print out. [21:57] BRB. Must set the DVD recorder for the Remastered version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (Star Trek). [21:57] Just saw it tonight. [21:57] Antares: Hey if you can find a cheap place with a lot of help. I need to put up a website for the local users group. Oh yeas at the moment we are trying to bypass the $1k fee for the non profit status. [21:58] I'll look around. [21:58] * Chas (Chas@216.139.104.74) Quit [21:58] LordRonin, what do you need exactly? [21:58] Appreciated, there was on guy that offered 10+meg from this list. I sent it to mark reed. But he frelled the group and I don't know what happened. He ws the one that did the html stuff for us. [21:59] have a good night all :) [21:59] * PhotoJim is now known as PJimAFK [21:59] Niters Pj. [22:00] HEY Robert did you get it yesterday?? [22:00] Dragonflu: Hoi didn't see you priorly. Well for the website. I need a something that will let us announce the existance of the local 29 year old group. Allow me to place monthly some shorts from the newsletter. But I need someone that understands all the drivel. Not looking for DL or stuff of that nature. [22:00] Hoi Beeman Didn't see you here before. [22:01] Ben here befor 7:00 [22:01] LordRonin, I'd be happy to host a site for ya...although I wont do anything as far as design, etc :P [22:02] anyone have a line on 1525 ribbons? [22:02] last time I bought 1525 ribbons was from Radio Shack [22:03] Dragonflu: Well, I would want it set for C= users. I know that Colin had a site with Wave buttons. Not looking for anything fancy with gfx. Just a link to my email for those interested. How all of this is done is way past my understanding. I'm still at Basci v2 level. [22:03] yeah, gl on that now [22:03] Beeman: Frell didn't see you when I logged in with the listing. Eyes must be getting worse. [22:03] LordRonin, as I said, I wont do websites, etc, but I don't mind hosting it for ya [22:03] Had to "special order" the ribbon, but it was available [22:03] * DragonFlu destests building sites [22:03] lol [22:03] -s [22:04] Put a a search on the inter net you will come up with lots of then [22:05] Dragonflu: Offer appreciated. I have a contact that may be of help. Let me talk to him and see if he can assist. Runs a networking bix for the north of Oregon. Perhaps he can help me on that part. Keep me in mind. Eventually we will get the tax exempt non profit status. [22:05] ]ink ribbons [22:05] np, just msg me if you wanna do it... [22:05] dragos: I might have them in the storage shed. They are in the box. But they are also a sub brand that might fit. [22:06] * Schema (~zzz@209.151.141.59) has joined #c64friends [22:06] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Schema [22:06] Anyone have any spare drive cables? [22:06] that you would be willing to sell that is... [22:06] hehe [22:06] cccc probably has some [22:06] Check NCR on the web. I have a catalogue form them from last year and they offer a large amount of ribbons. [22:07] Drogonflu: Like how long man? I've got about 50 of them in different sizes. [22:07] check the CCCC website for the ribbon cross-reference list... [22:07] Hoi Schema [22:07] LordRonin, just need a couple for the c64 to the 1541 drive [22:07] Think that IIRC there are some at 12' [22:07] I would assume 3ft is long enough [22:08] I bought a bunch from a school in Oregon. Probably have on the rack in the shop what you need. [22:08] somehow somewhere I seem to have lost mine over the years, so having the c64 with no drive kinda sucks [22:08] hehe [22:08] Email me with your needs at lordronin@vcsweb.com [22:08] ok will do [22:08] * MikeC (~MikeC@host-208-65-244-122.dyn.295.ca) has joined #c64friends [22:08] appreciate it [22:08] Got them coming out of my ears.

Along with a couple copies of the disk [22:15] O. K. [22:16] i need the okimate module for amiga [22:16] Do ou need one of them? [22:16] And you spent for quite a bit of postage! [22:16] I don't think the 10 modules will work with the 20s [22:16] I haven't been able to keep up on the email recently.

[22:20] sounds like things are better for you Ant. Sorry about mom... [22:20] You need a SCSI CD drive. [22:20] MikeC: The last TPUG meeting was great. Maybe the best meeting I've been to yet. [22:20] It looks as though my Uncle will die of brain cancer by April. He gave me my 64. [22:20] Antare: Sorry to hear about you mother. Mine pased away 10 years ago. What is you 128 outfit? [22:20] We had a dinner beforehand and the meeting itself was very well attended. [22:20] * JoeCommod (~joec@64-174-30-242.goldrush.com) has joined #c64friends [22:20] Aw, sorry about that, Antares. :-/ [22:21] Hi, Larry. [22:21] goaln: How often does the TPUG newsletter come out? We are on the exchange list now. [22:21] Hoi JoeC* [22:21] Hey everybody, what's new? [22:21] Ant* sorry to hear about you uncle. [22:21] Golan: Good to hear...might actually be inspired to show up one day. ;) [22:21] As it happens, I'm trying to compose an email summary about the last TPUG meeting. I figure it will useful to newcomers to have links to the hardware and software that gets mentioned at the meeting. Of course, I had to get them to subscribe to the Toronto CBM list first. :) [22:21] negative on interchangability...10 will not work on 20 [22:21] We gotta reel 'em in! [22:21] Went to Vegas on CommVEx business. Won a big 25 cents! ;-) [22:22] LordRonin: Lately, about once a year :-/ Not enough articles [22:22] Snogpitch: OK thanks for that intel. Sorry BeeMan don't have what you need after all. :-( [22:22] Did you go to CES too? I noticed your trip was on that week [22:22] My outfit is a 64k VDC flat 128 with two 1571's, two 1581's, a 1750 reu, a 1351 mouse, a minmodem and a Star NX-10 printer and interface. [22:22] LR: The newsletter offically comes out four times a year. In reality, once a year. [22:22] Shcema: Waht do you need me to submit my drivel to increase the publication!!!! [22:23] No, CES was the week after... during a work week. Too bad... I was all signed up for CES this year. [22:23] MikeC: The more, the merrier. Of course, we may need to move next door to the bigger room at the rate things are going. [22:23] Frell ?I do about 100 blocks a day in writing for the local group. [22:23] Oh, forgot the 1080 monitor. [22:23] golan: Did get the December issue. [22:24] Hello JoeCommodore. [22:24] LR: Think of the December issue as the 2006 issue. [22:24] Golan: So, is attendance actually increasing or was this just a one-off spike? [22:24] The internal connector on the Okimate 10 vs 20 are in different locations... [22:24] MikeC: Can't say after one meeting. :) [22:24] We've filled the room quite reliably lately... [22:24] Leif said attendance has been growing and I suspect that we'll see more people coming out after the WoC. [22:25] golan: Looks like I need to send submissions to TPUG. FWIW can you detect if my membership was ever seen by anyone back in 95 through Q-Link? [22:25] hi antares [22:25] Yeah, a bunch of new people joined, plus the Globe/Star articles really helped [22:25] Schema: Good to hear...so things are growing. [22:26] LR: You lost me. [22:26] RobertB: In a rare serious vein from me. What are your opinoins of trying to increase the MossyCon adventure.? By that i mean lookinginto hotels and convention rooms for the future as the Only NorthWest con. [22:26] I plan on using a 64 to control my TenTec RX-320D receiver. [22:27] Hmm, do you mean to keep it in the Astoria/Seaside area, LR? [22:27] How will you do that, Antares? [22:27] Just right a BASIC program and use an RS-232 interface. [22:28] err write. [22:28] What exactly is a TenTec receiver? [22:28] The interface is 1200 bps stand nine pin serial port. [22:28] RobertB: No I was thinking besides the geographic locations you mentioned. Lookinginto the possibility of adverting it as a bigger meeting time. Increasing the level of the MossyCon to a higher degree. [22:28] er standard. [22:29] I don't understand, LR. [22:29] Antares51: The term "!standard" is subjective to the reader. [22:29] * destined (~earth1dom@c-71-59-202-44.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [22:29] Receiver is used for HF between 100 KHz and 30 MHz. [22:29] Hi, Jeremy. [22:29] Robert - just checked the forum, no news to report from the vegas trip? [22:29] hrm [22:29] Hmmm, HF. [22:30] I haven't written up a summary of my trip to Vegas yet, Larry. [22:30] PC type "D" connector with nine pins. [22:30] RoberB: In short, I am thinking of the possibility of making MossyCon a larger issue. Where we actually have a meeting room at some facility for a day or so of C= things. Equaling or exceeding other C= expos/cons. [22:30] Hoi Destined [22:30] Hello Jeremy. [22:31] However, I contacted 4 t.v. stations, 1 radio station, 1 newspaper, and the University of Nevada (Dept. of Computer Sciences and Dept. of Engineering and Computers). [22:32] Antaers51: Term PC is also subjective to the specific user. If we want to be a bit more politically correct. Not that I am, but I lose meanings with vague terminology that is non C= specific in nature. [22:32] Also met up with Al Jackson and his C= group there. Gave them a summary of what was going on. [22:32] Then nine pin "d" connector. [22:33] LR, so you want to stay in Astoria but in a bigger facility, right? [22:33] Antares51: Semii understand. Been a long time since I did electronics. I date back to the tube era. [22:33] * Antares51 gets frustrated. [22:34] Robert: Make sure it's smoke free. [22:34] * RobertB gives Antares a traquilizer pill. [22:34] :-) [22:34] I already took one. [22:34] * RobertB gives Antares another tranquilizer. [22:35]
