[20:46] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:46] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64 - and Q-Link!!' [20:47] Howdy folks [20:48] hola SP [20:52] OK, popcorn in the microwave, 3 minutes til done :9 [20:53] Hrm. That's not a bad idea. I haven't had popcorn in ages. [20:55] Welcome to the channel snogpitch! [20:56] Oh man, my poor old hands are all chapped. [20:56] No matter what I do, in the winter they get all sore and chapped. [20:57] * Snogpitch passes around the bowl of popcorn...careful...hot out of the microwave! [20:57] I have the same problem. My girlfriend gave me this gunk called "Glysomed" (name aside, it isn't medicated) and I have been putting it on before bed every night. This stuff really works and I don't feel all greasy. It's pretty good. [20:58] It also doesn't smell perfumey. [20:58] ya, that's one reason I get the unscented skin lotion [20:59] There is a slight smell but it's very clean. [20:59] Golan, Burts bee's works too. [20:59] It has a smell, but not a perfumy, chick smell. [20:59] Right now Im using Cetaphil. [20:59] No odor at all. [20:59] We'll see if it works. [21:00] I've also been putting something called "Blisex" on my lips. Combine that with the teeth brushing and the Listerine and it takes me like 5 minutes before I can sleep. It's ridiculous. [21:00] I cant even think about working on my car right now with my hands the way they are. [21:00] Of course, it takes her like 30 minutes so I'm not complaining. [21:00] Wait, I am. Nevermind. [21:00] Shellac! [21:00] lol [21:00] lol [21:00] X2 [21:02] popcorn bowl is a great way to warm up the hands [21:02] Remember, friends don't let friends buy Vista. [21:02] * Balzabaar (~balza@pool-71-165-160-101.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined #c64friends [21:02] Howdy Balzabaar [21:02] http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/10/mega-hands-on-virgin-americas-airbus-a320-with-red-in-fli ght-e/ [21:02] Here's what I don't get. My GF tells me that water dries out the skin. How the hell is this possible? [21:03] Hello! Whew! hahahaha [21:03] Huh? [21:03] Hey Bal. [21:03] Vista Rules! [21:03] it washes away the natural oils in the skin [21:03] Evening Bal. [21:03] Golan... The water is dry and the sun is wet... Don't you get it? hehehehe [21:03] No, it really does rule......It rules the person trying to use it..... [21:04] Oil and water don't mix. [21:04] No one understands women... Best not to try. ;-) [21:04] Usually. [21:05] * antares51 listens to The Beatles. [21:05] * RobertB (Javauser@66-3-132-43.la-06.cvx.algx.net) has joined #c64friends [21:05] * ChanServ sets mode: +o RobertB [21:05] I found out an interesting thing...Vista can't read the old style .hlp files [21:05] Evening Mr. Bernardo, sir. [21:05] So... Someone fill me in on what I've missed here the past three weeks... My crazy work schedule has kept me from being here! :-( [21:05] Howdy RobertB [21:05] Hey Robert. [21:05] Hi, Antares and Snog and Golan. [21:05] Balzabaar, you can always read the transcripts [21:05] Robert! Heya! [21:05] HI, Andrew. [21:06] * gamemaste (~gamemaste@plns-216-222-254-221-pppoe.dsl.plns.epix.net) has joined #c64friends [21:06] HI, Dan. [21:06] Howdy gamemaste [21:06] gamemaster! [21:06] Snog... I know... I have! hehehehe Was just kiddin'... It'd be hard to sum up three works of chatting. ;-) [21:06] Hi snog, robert, antares and all [21:07] I'm celebrating my b'day with you. [21:07] hey cool, happy birthday [21:07] Hey, here is a virtual cake for you! [21:07] Old enough for pension. [21:07] Robert... I saw your post on commodore.ca ... Didn't know I had been volunteered to be a speaker... I was trying to come up with something witty to say in response, but nothing was coming to me. ;-) [21:07] Thank you Robert. [21:07] * RobertB passes the cake over to Antares so he can blow out the candles. [21:08] * gamemaste starts counting candels but then gets dizzy and stops [21:08] * antares51 blows out the candles graciously. [21:08] Happy Birthday, Antares! :-) [21:08] * gamemaste feels the wind from over here [21:08] Ah, at our last BBS chat, I thought I had convinced you to say something about the BBS scene. :-) [21:09] I have everything I need, my good friends here. [21:09] aw [21:09] Antares, start passing the cake, please. :-) [21:09] * antares51 passes around the cake and drinks. [21:10] * RobertB hungrily chows down on the virtual cake. [21:10] Robert... That's fine, I'd love to... I just figured that there would be a contract to sign, and discussion over a salary, prior to a public announcement. [21:10] There. That was pretty witty. ;-) [21:10] Boing! [21:10] What is your speaker's fee? [21:10] lol [21:11] Gratuity! [21:11] Does it translate to floppy disks? [21:11] lol [21:11] lol [21:11] What does Jeri charge? I'm more... ;-) [21:11] Nada. [21:11] yes those are getting to be a rare comedity these days.... [21:11] hmmm... [21:11] (new ones anyway) [21:11] * Balzabaar runs to his C64... [21:12] * Balzabaar types: PRINT 0 * 2 [21:12] I'm too far away from my C= machines right now. [21:12] okay... I'll take double what she charges. [21:12] It's a deal! [21:12] Tomorrow morning I'll fire up the 128VR. [21:13] ...and listen to The Ventures. [21:13] Oh, did you pick up one from Charles G. or did you modify one yourself? [21:13] Had the mod done by a friend. [21:13] Listen to the Ventures on the C128?!! ;-) [21:13] hey... 128VR... That remind me of something I wanted to ask everyone here... [21:13] * al (~Dangerous@user-1121nsn.dsl.mindspring.com) has joined #c64friends [21:13] * ChanServ sets mode: +o al [21:13] good evening (morning/day/night) [21:13] Thanks for reminding me, Antares. ;-) [21:14] Hi, Al. [21:14] Howdy al [21:14] al!!! [21:14] HI al [21:14] al [21:14] No sweat. [21:14] Howdy all [21:14] Is there a program out there that really "shows off" a C128 with the extra 64K of video RAM? [21:14] Evening, Al. [21:14] There are a few demos but I don't remember them off hand [21:14] Oh and a few graphics programs [21:15] I used Maverick or Desterm. [21:15] Good Evening/Morning/Day/Night back at ya, Al. [21:15] A few paint tools use it, but dang can't remember their names [21:15] Maverick and Desterm make use of the extra RAM? [21:15] Yes [21:15] * JavaUser (~Javauser@68-186-19-79.dhcp.mdfd.or.charter.com) has joined #c64friends [21:15] In what way? [21:15] I'm still new to the 128's... :-) [21:15] Basic 8. [21:15] Desterm uses it for buffer I believe [21:15] * JavaUser is now known as village16 [21:16] Evening village. [21:16] Hi, Scott from Oregon. [21:16] I couldn't resist getting the C128 with JiffyDOS *and* 64K Video RAM that Charles was selling, though... ;-) [21:16] Maverick uses it for extra memory to speed up copying with one dirve. You don't have to do as many disk swaps [21:16] howdy Scott [21:16] Hi Robert, has LR stopped by yet? [21:16] Not yet. [21:16] What'd he call it? C128JVR? [21:16] I-Paint for the expanded video ram C128 does well. [21:17] No, not yet, Scoot. [21:17] Ah I-paint..that was one I was trying to remember the name of thanks robert [21:17] I have a spare 4464 chip available. [21:17] He might still be at the shop [21:17] I-Paint... Thanks... I'll have to check that out. [21:17] That is, if you can stand the flicker from I-Paint. [21:17] What version of Maverick uses it? [21:17] 5.0 [21:18] I think the copy of v5.04 that I tried to download is bad. [21:18] Novaterm can use it for buffer space also [21:18] I have good copies of v3 and v4 from "back in the day". :-) [21:18] Thanks, Snog... [21:18] Has anyone tried Maverick for the Amiga? [21:18] I might have a spare original Maverick 5.0 around here. [21:18] Ah I forgot they develpoed a few versions on the Amiga [21:19] Scott, I have one in the disk boxes, but I never tried it. [21:19] Snogpitch... I can't remember if I sent you an e-mail about it... but I was finally able to get onto C= TelBBS's and Q-Link with my C64, thanks to your tip about the USB-to-serial adapter! [21:19] I got one from Jim a while back [21:20] I have not tried it yet [21:20] Village, when you say "Jim"... That wouldn't happen to be Jim Scabery, would it? [21:20] good news Balzabaar :) [21:20] yes it would the the same [21:21] Scott is the one who introduced me to Jim S. [21:21] He is on a resporator now [21:21] Snog... Yes! I was SO happy when it finally started working... And now I can run it through my laptop, which takes up SO much less space than the mid-size Gateway tower and 17" monitor that I was trying to set it up on! [21:22] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) has joined #c64friends [21:22] Entered QRoom: Gamemaste [21:22] Village... Yeah, Robert told me about that... That's too bad! :-( [21:22] Howdy Gamemaste [21:22] {Gamemaste} I am here and I am everywhere...... [21:22] {Gamemaste} heh [21:22] Respirator? A portable one or no? [21:22] he is still alive and kicking though, needs air from time to time [21:22] Oh, no, he is omnipotent! ;-) [21:23] I went to Jim's house for C= reparis back around 1989... I remember back in those days, if you asked around on any of the local BBS's who to take C= equipment to for repair, he was THE guy. [21:23] umm who don't need air? [21:23] he still has his stuff [21:23] That is good to know, Scott, because I'd like to visit him during my Easter break. [21:24] Jim suffers from emphysema, if I remember correctly. [21:24] * punch (~oldfart@lackawna-cadent2-24-55-169-183.lkwnny.adelphia.net) has joined #c64friends [21:24] hi punch [21:24] If we have any artists in the house, we need your help to get a t-shirt design for this year's C=4 Expo! [21:24] Hi, Punch. [21:24] just call in advance, he will be happy to see you [21:24] re [21:24] Howdy punch [21:24] hey ajk [21:24] O.K., Scott. [21:24] Have you guys seen this RS-232 Interface on eBay???: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120084274586&rd=1&rd=1 [21:25] I got one of these same ones from Jim Scabery... He threw it in free with a 1200 baud modem I bought from him. I tried to get this one, but I can't see paying more than $20 for it... [21:25] ya, I've had one of those interfaces... [21:25] picked it up with a collection I bought years ago [21:26] never used it tho [21:26] That reminds me to get back to David Murray... he needed a RS-232 interface and we have one sitting here. [21:26] I don't know if he still has any rs232 modules [21:26] emmm, you do know they're easy to create [21:27] ...atleast foe me [21:27] I sold that modem when I got my 1670 back in 1990 or so... And the interface along with it... I just thought it'd be neat to have the same one again after all these years... made by a company from "back home". ;-) [21:27] yes what is easy for some is not so for another.... [21:27] hmmm [21:27] perhaps I should produce like 5 or so boards, sell 'em [21:27] The one that is sitting here is an Omnitronix with box. [21:27] that is a thought [21:27] Good idea, Punch. [21:27] Omnitronix Deluxe here too :) [21:28] Robert: I got the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and "custom made" RS-232 interface from Edmonton... It came in the mail yesterday. I haven't had a chance to set it up yet on the BBS... But I'm planning to do that when things "wind down" here. :-) [21:28] onitronix... I got one of those, really crappy design inside as far as the ribbon cable [21:28] I used to have an Omni. Should have NEVER given it away. [21:28] other than that, it's so-so [21:28] Ah-ha, you'd have to improve on the design of yours. [21:28] I have a design that's a bit more robust anyway [21:28] In comparison with the Omnitronix. [21:28] Golan: I'll send you an e-mail when I get the new modem and interface set up... Hopefully that'll fix the problems you've had connecting in the past! [21:29] Could use one for my RX-320D computer controlled radio. [21:29] Robust is good. [21:29] robert: the only thing my design lacks is the inversion, which is silly anyway, because the actual standard is in rom... omnitronix has it backwords, and inverted is what you use on it for normal stuff [21:30] :-) [21:30] the rom, and even CP/M are quite clear on the line polarity [21:30] inverted was good for connection to Qlink [21:30] Bal: NP. [21:31] O.K. [21:31] there's also a few unnessisary chips inside the box too [21:31] I dug out my Hayes 300 so maybe I'll connect it up for a laugh. [21:31] Golan: Did you get my last e-mail? I just want to be sure I have your correct address, and you're not using one of those "anti-spam" fake e-mail addresses. ;-) [21:32] brb [21:32] why use +5 as your charge pump when the 9vac is there already [21:32] ...bit redundent [21:32] 300? ouch [21:32] Golan: Yeah, I did that with my 1660, calling Charles' new BBS... I had forgotten just HOW slow 300 baud is! ;-) [21:32] But I do rmemeber the day I rented one from my local club [21:32] goaln: i got a pair of accustics [21:32] (unmatched pair) [21:32] and started going on BBs for the first time [21:33] the only thing that held me back....the long distance charges [21:33] If I remember correctly, the Hayes 300 is just called a "Hayes Smartmodem"... No number at the end like models that came later. [21:33] living out in the boonies, no local boards [21:33] one is the old radioshack crap one, and the other is ... hmmm... I should go look at it, but I don'ty think there's any ic's in it [21:33] I'm back. [21:33] Call Mad World BBS! telnet://madworld.bounceme.net [21:33] gamemaste: never held me back.... phreak :-) [21:33] I remember when I got a 1200 baud modem, everyone came over to watch the text scroll too fast to read [21:34] Gamemaste: Know what ya mean... But Punch has the right idea... hahahaha ;-) [21:34] 1-800-easy-itt [21:34] remember that one? [21:34] I remember that from memory [21:34] lol punch [21:34] can't get away with that shi... I mean STUFF... any more these days, though... [21:34] Bal: The last one I got from you was on the 30th of January. [21:34] then 7 digits [21:34] and the area code and number [21:34] well the phone bills held me back....I didn't want some bill collector halling me to jail hehe [21:35] there was another one, forget the name, but allowed me to do intl calls [21:35] That's true. It's just a Hayes Smartmodem. [21:35] Golan: Can't remember the date... Just sent you an e-mail to let you know I had changed to an Emerson modem, and it was working better, but still not perfect... Something like that... [21:35] Speaking of accoustics, I've got a NIB/NOS/whatever you call it Tandy/Radio Shack 300 baud accoustic. I guess I should eBay that. [21:35] gamemaste: nearly impossible if you were arround back then, there wasn't ESS :-) [21:35] Bal: Then yes, I got that one. [21:36] I just haven't done another round of testing. [21:36] Golan, is that the one with the cradle for a phone receiver to be set within it? [21:36] Golan: OK... I just hadn't received a reply, so I wanted to be sure I had the right address. [21:36] gamemaste: my boony parents finally got ESS 15 years ago, and they discontinued party lines 5 years ago when they split the LATA into two areacodes [21:37] RobertB: Yeah, basically. [21:37] Y'know... The way things are going with phone companies... It might not be much longer before all of U.S. and Canada is "local"... [21:37] I remember waaaaay back, where dialing within your area, was 4 numbers, not 7 [21:37] Punch: ESS? [21:37] If all the numbers in your town were on one prefix. [21:37] gllan: the entire county [21:38] Ooo, very retro, Golan. :-) [21:38] gamemaste: electronic switching systems... i.e. computerized with tracking [21:38] There you go. I've always lived in cities so there were many prefixes. [21:38] * Dragos2 (~fred@c-68-57-248-18.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:38] Howdy Dragos2 [21:38] Punch... On navy ships, it's still 4 numbers. ;-) [21:38] Puch: ohhhh of course [21:38] balz: meheh [21:38] Dragos! [21:39] gamemaste: they had old cross bar switches and stuff way bak tho, all mechanical, you dial outside your area, and the operator had to ask you your phonme number.... like I would give them the real one *chuckle* [21:39] Hi dragos [21:39] Punch: I'm in the navy, by the way... So I know what I'm talking about... hehehehe ;-) [21:40] so if the operator didn't know who was calling, HTF could they trace ;-) [21:40] * village16 (~Javauser@68-186-19-79.dhcp.mdfd.or.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) [21:40] Punch: yes I know lol. But back inthe day I would have and paid my bill........so as I said I was limitd to how much I was on heh [21:40] uh-oh... too many ping's for Scott! [21:40] Balz: I have several workmates that are ex mil, including navy, I know [21:41] * Squatdog (pepito@124-168-105-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Quit: reboot) [21:41] and the dog squated to reboot [21:41] hahahaha [21:42] fun part is all those companies are gone, so even if there was no statute of limitations (there is, it's safe to chat about it) there'd be nobody to sue [21:42] yoyo [21:42] true punch [21:42] so you baught a yo-yo dragos? [21:42] it's all hearsay :-) [21:42] Hey Dragos [21:42] anyhow, brb, smoke B-Q_~~ [21:43] no, i am chattingwiht a bunch of them ;) [21:43] * Squatdog (~pepito@124-168-105-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #c64friends [21:43] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Squatdog [21:43] Hi, Mark. [21:43] and the dog is done squating [21:43] did you get your dump er reboot done? [21:44] wb btw [21:44] Robert, have you been catching George Takei on NBC's Heros? [21:44] I've got another C128 question for y'all... [21:44] No, I have not been watching it, Snog. [21:44] You would have loved this past week's salute to Star Trek [21:45] Too bad, Robert. One of the best shows in years. [21:45] However, I am excitedly waiting to see the remastered Doomsday Machine this weekend. [21:45] On the C128, you have the RGB port for 80 col. video, and the regular monitor port like on the C64 for 40 col. video. [21:45] My favorite ST episode! [21:45] Oh, a salute... that's nice. [21:45] Yes that is my top favorite as well [21:45] Hey, my number 1, too. [21:45] * JavaUser (~Javauser@225-8.9-67.tampabay.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:45] My question is, does audio *always* come out of the serial monitor port, even when video is coming out of the RGB port? [21:45] Or is there no audio in 80 col. mode? [21:45] Hey _Six_ you around? [21:46] * JavaUser is now known as _Beeman [21:46] Yes, Andrew. [21:46] Howdy _Beeman [21:46] Hi, the other Robert. [21:46] <_Beeman> Hello All [21:46] You know what the funny part of that epsisde is? Itw as created to be a "cheap" episode with a minium of sets. The stuio told Gene to cut down the sets on a episode as he was just finsished doing several that took many sets. [21:46] Howdy Beeman [21:46] Hello Beeman [21:47] <_Beeman> Hi AL [21:47] Hey _Six_ you around? [21:47] Anyway it was written to be 'cheap' and it ended up becoming one of the most loved episodes [21:47] George Takei is on heroes? I've missed the last couple episodes, so he must have been on those... [21:47] Well, they blew the budget on the special effects (which were still costly in the 1960's). [21:47] Hello beeman. [21:47] Exactly [21:48] Beeman: Still remember that great honey you sent. Thanks again. was very nice of you. [21:48] License NCC-1701. [21:48] Heck they were still costly in the 80's it only started to really get cheap with desktop effects etc [21:48] S.T. did what it usually did back then... do a few cheap episodes so that money could be saved for the really expensive episodes. [21:48] yep [21:49] <_Beeman> When are you coming down to get more? [21:49] and somtimes the 'cheap' ones were done better than the more expensive, story wise anyway [21:49] Giant cats... [21:49] hmmm I better coat these bare wires [21:49] Robert: That was a "yes" to which part? [21:49] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzit [21:50] Well, the remastered Doomsday Machine this weekend has all new 2007 effects. [21:50] is what happens if you don't lol [21:50] intersting [21:50] Yes, the C128 still outputs SID sound through the serial port even when using RGB 80-columns. [21:50] Beeman: really wish I could. Be great to shake your hand. [21:50] so I guess the ship does not "shake" as it heads towards the planet killer [21:51] Unknown. I have yet to see it. The Enterprise does "swoop" over the Doomsday Machine now. [21:51] I always thought that was intnded, but years later I looked at it again and realied it was actually a mistake in production [21:51] Submarine with screen door: Twenty thousand leaks under the sea. [21:51] Robert: Thanks... I couldn't find that in the C128 manual anywhere... [21:51] why would they need to remaster doomsday machine? [21:51] lol antres! [21:52] becuase no one an write new decent stories [21:52] Because it can be done! ;-) [21:52] * Schema (~zzz@209.151.141.59) has joined #c64friends [21:52] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Schema [21:52] HI, Jeff.

I wasn't aware that a formal convention had been planned! ;-) [21:54] Very true. [21:54] #16: Just got here and have to plit in just a few minutes. But letting all know that I still breath, despite the sho-vha ;-?

[21:55] Balzabaar: Formal isn't in my vocab. [21:56] Red Martian. [21:56] Robert: :::whew::: So I can leave my suit and tie at home, yes? [21:56] lol [21:56] Of course, Andrew.

[21:57] * antares51 shoots a lupus with a pneumo. [21:57] Robert: 5/April is good with me. [21:57] Peter Lupus from Mission: Impossible, the original series?!! [21:58] Balzabaar: Dress is usually faded greens, worn out jungle boots, long hair. Pretty girls are always a great option to bring along {SEG} [21:58] Robert & LR: April 5th should work out great for me... I'll probably head back south on the 7th, since the kids have to be back at school on the 10th. [21:58] Original Battlestar. [21:58] OK gang, have to be real short now. So see you later on and next week. BCNU [21:58] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:58] LR: Can't do the long hair... Military doesn't allow it... but I'll see what I can do about the rest... ;-) [21:58] Wow, not long here. [21:58] Yes I liked the original battle star.....don't like the new series. [21:59] in and out [21:59] gotta go too, before connection goes out again [21:59] * village16 (~Javauser@68-186-19-79.dhcp.mdfd.or.charter.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:59] ack... he always does that to me. :-( [21:59] I only kind of liked the first episodes of the original Battlestar series. [22:00] Yeah... As the budget declined for the original Battlestar Gallactica, so did the quality... [22:00] yes the battle star 1980 episdoes were not that good [22:00] Bye gamemaster. [22:00] Planet of the Apes kind of went that way, too... come to think of it. ;-) [22:00] *looks around* not heading out yet [22:00] telnet://innercirclebbs.com !! [22:01] Ooops! [22:01] There were good episodes of Planet of the Apes? [22:01] yep if you were a ape.... [22:01] haha [22:01] lol [22:01] RobertB, speaking of 80's television, do you have Airwolf Season 2 on DVD yet? [22:01] and liked eating fleas off your friends.... [22:02] Airwolf....ah liked that series [22:02] Not yet. It is on my list right after the M:I original series, season 1. [22:02] * antares51 wants a copy of Felix the Cat. [22:02] * Mech_ (4k@dialup-4.227.11.166.Dial1.Dallas1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [22:02] HI, Mech. [22:02] Hello Mech. [22:02] hi Mech [22:03] I'm waiting for the complete series of Lancelot Link Secret Chimp [22:03] Only Ape series I'm waiting for :) [22:03] wtf? [22:03] Never heard of it! [22:03] Snogpitch: I was referring to the movies. [22:03] * gamemaste hears ape sounds in the background..... [22:04] The first one was pretty good, considering when it was made and all... But it slowly went downhill from there... [22:04] oh, the movies..... [22:04] Oh, but when I do get Season 2 of Airwolf, I will be checking out the episodes for the fleeting glimpse of Vic-20s/C64s in Archangel's control room. [22:04] * gamemaste changes the Topic to Our C64 are so simple to use.....even apes can use them..... [22:04] Hey Mech [22:05] What! No cavemen? [22:05] lol [22:05] http://fuhrerchan.be/ma/src/1157960476967.jpg (totally family safe) [22:05] Robert, yes there are a few glimps of those as they walk past certain "comptuer areas" [22:06] * M3ch (4k@dialup-4.227.11.230.Dial1.Dallas1.Level3.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) [22:06] Punch: Cute... ;-) [22:06] RobertB, I just got Season 2 last week, and yes, there's a C64 in there ;-) [22:06] I always got a kick out of the comptuter keyboard sounds they used....sounded like someone was using a hammer to hit the keys lol [22:07] Plus you get to see some BASIC code on Airwolf's main screen :-) [22:07] Oh, I can't remember, Dan. [22:07] Ooo, time for screen captures! :-D [22:07] yes they keys were really loud when they typed [22:07] lol for sure [22:07] Well, that's to make it sound "computery" [22:07] Or the sounds of Seaview's computer. [22:07] along with all the gratuituous beeping [22:08] Evening Schema [22:08] also ther is a episode where they have text-to-speach as the crew of airwolf can't talk so santni types and on archanges side they "put it on speaker" and it does sound like a c64 speach synthisis [22:08] Aw, the Seaview's computer was just a mass of sequential lights. [22:09] Hmmm, don't know about that. I'd have to hear that episode. [22:09] haha gamemaste, I'll watch for that [22:09] all speech synthesis was pretty bad in the 80s [22:09] I forget the name of it and not sure if it is second season or thrid [22:10] But I'll never buy that fourth season! [22:10] there was a saturday morning cartoon with robots in it, and they used Dr. Sbaitso (sound blaster demo program) for one of them [22:10] yes well the only reason they made it was becuase the studio wanted 80 epsidoes for syndication [22:10] Yeah. [22:11] Anyone watch the Red Green show? [22:11] Not me. [22:11] Yes! [22:11] I saw a live taping about a a year ago too [22:12] One of the charactors has a 64 on a board. Musical instrument? [22:12] yes looks something like that, thought I don't think it is a moded c64 [22:12] but it is his "special effects board" [22:12] Oh, speaking of C= on t.v., the CBS show, NCIS, made mention of Commodore 64 in last Tuesday's episode. [22:12] http://www.pbs.org/redgreen/harold.jpg [22:13] not a 64, but does have that 80s look [22:13] I also have this month's MaximumPC. [22:13] Oh robert I found the episdode I was talking about.....it is called Kingdom come and is in the 3rd season [22:13] Yup, just read that magazine today. [22:14] Oh, third season is not out on DVD yet. [22:14] Anyone here seen Innerspace? [22:14] A long time ago, Golan. [22:14] RobertB: Soon, though - May I think [22:14] Yes golan...good movie [22:14] Wow, Universal is pumping them out fast. [22:15] Well it is easy money for them to dig out a few films and have them dumped to DVD [22:15] Airworlf is on Scifi now as well btw [22:15] www.airwolf.org has all the details [22:15] Hey, Sony hasn't done that for T.J. Hooker yet (still stuck in their first/second season). [22:16] Ah, I've been reading Airwolf.tv [22:16] I didn't even know they actually released T.J Hooker [22:16] Yup. [22:16] My stepson is an army helicopter pilot. [22:16] Just had his second child: another girl. [22:17] Just another 14 minutes here, I think. I can't tie up this line for long. [22:17] * al (~Dangerous@user-1121nsn.dsl.mindspring.com) Quit (Quit: Hey AlanR; got my money?) [22:17] Oh speaking of Airwolf...it is intersting there was only one aircraft modified to be "airwolf" and one reason the 4th season was so bad, the studio that was given charge of making the episodes didn't have access to it so they had to use recycled footage [22:17] * Schema (~zzz@209.151.141.59) Quit [22:18] Yup, really rotten to see stock footage all throughout that season. [22:18] gamemaste: Didn't know that [22:18] Except for the animated sequence in one episode. [22:18] and after the 3rd season it was striped back to "normal"and sold to a german company who then had it in use as a meidical helcoper crashed in the early 90's killing all abord [22:19] During a storm while on a rescue mission. [22:19] Which is why you don't hear/see of the "original" copter anywhere [22:19] yes [22:19] blue thunder! [22:19] lol [22:19] Unless you go to Tennessee and see the replica at a museum there. [22:19] anyone remember that cornball show? [22:19] some interesting facts on blue thunder....after its modifications to become blue thunder it was so heavy it could hardly fly [22:20] yep lol [22:20] Yeah, whatever happened to Blue Thunder (which is out on DVD, too). [22:20] The movie and the show. [22:20] well in the movie it landed on a train track and was flattened heh [22:20] I have the movie here. I love Blue Thunder. [22:20] Well, I don't know about too heavy to fly but it was nose-heavy. [22:21] Nah, Dan... a replica. ;-) [22:21] well not too heavy but hard to manuver, so they used a lot of film tricks to make it look like it was agile [22:21] I should get the movie on DVD; I still have it in Beta. [22:21] lol true can't do a series if you ahve been flattened [22:21] beta??? [22:22] I never got into beta, but I still have friends that claim it's superior. [22:22] My sister and brother-in-law live in the L.A. area where they filmed the chases through the skyscrapers. A lot of noise for many days. [22:22] dang i bet you have a "beta changer" as well lol [22:22] Course I have friends that say C= is superior. [22:22] which it is... [22:22] No, Dan. No Beta changer. Too many things to go wrong [22:23] * CJ had a casette changer! [22:23] I didn' think so...I was kidding lol [22:23] but it was a interesting device anyway [22:23] * antares51 has a 100 CD changer. [22:23] bascially a robot hand to swap your tapes around [22:23] I have that too ant:) [22:23] Yup, cassette changers were around. I remember a cassette deck that even flipped the cassette to the other side. [22:24] a sony one. [22:24] The wife hates it. [22:24] Sony has that 100 DVD changer. [22:24] Robert, thats weak. Most of them flip to the other side :) [22:24] Ex-roomate has one. [22:25] I never got into laser disc's either. but inda wish I did. [22:25] No, CJ. This one actually mechanically flips the cassette to the other side. (Check out that swing motion!) [22:25] * antares51 has one: brother has two. [22:25] * IceB-[B] (~icbrkr@adsl-67-66-233-4.dsl.fyvlar.swbell.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:25] ohhh lol [22:25] I have laserdiscs. [22:25] nice Robert, my mistake. [22:25] they are cool [22:26] CJ: eBay has LaserDisk players a-plenty. ;-) [22:26] Ya I know [22:26] Oh, and Beta players, too... ;-) [22:26] Im just not going to do it. [22:26] Cool until the laserdiscs start developing laser rot. [22:26] I've thought about buying both, just for the hell of it... but haven't so far... ;-) [22:26] and I bet none of those beta players sell..... [22:27] Star Trek: Genesis has an AC-3 sound track on the right channel. [22:27] Heck they are now saying that DVD's will rot in 20 years now [22:27] 20 years from now, movies will get beamed straight into your brain... hahahaha [22:27] lol [22:27] ? [22:27] man that sucks [22:28] I hope my dvd's dont rot. [22:28] Smell-O-Vision replaces television! [22:28] They MUST be more reliable than magenetic media. [22:28] There is a new study out that says they will only last 20 years [22:28] due to oxidiastion [22:28] thats okay [22:28] but that only applies to pressed CD/DVD [22:28] There is a study that says that every single person that eats carrots will die! [22:28] DVD-4 CD-r are fine [22:29] DVD-RAM is more resilient. uses MO technology. [22:29] yes but slower of course [22:29] and to keep it that resilient dont' remove it from the cartridge [22:29] cuts the reliablity in half [22:29] Mine aren't in cartridges. [22:30] Well, everybody. I must leave early. I'm at the sister's house here in the L.A. area and must not tie up the phone line that long. [22:30] Bye Robert. [22:30] ok bye robert [22:30] Good night. [22:30] I shall depart too. [22:30] nn [22:30] ok later Antares [22:30] * RobertB (Javauser@66-3-132-43.la-06.cvx.algx.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:30] Niters! [22:30] and again happy birthday [22:30] Happy b-day? Sorry late [22:31] * antares51 (~rick@ip68-96-142-137.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: I'm happy!) [22:31] Yes it is Antares birthday [22:31] Damn. I'm getting to involved with my mame Romzzzz [22:32] we need that crystal storage. [22:32] * yock (~myockey@cpe-71-79-17-102.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [22:32] the Yock! [22:32] lol right on CJ just like in Portal [22:32] Hey CJ, what's up? [22:32] hi yock [22:32] BRB... smoke break! :-) [22:32] I dont see why crystal storage is not doable. [22:32] evenin' gamemaste [22:33] Oh I am sure it will come, give it oh 20 years or so [22:33] I mean, if we can generate a crystal from electrons, then why not? [22:33] crystal storage would be yet another form of worm media [22:33] then have a reader just reverse the process. [22:33] We're talking alot of data surfaces. [22:34] * _Beeman (~Javauser@225-8.9-67.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:34] Yeah.... [22:34] Probably holographic will come first [22:34] That would be cool. [22:34] that I know is in the works [22:34] Im sure they will make it date sensitive as to break over time so we'll have to conform to new standards. [22:34] exactly [22:35] which sux [22:35] and have to move our data over AGAIN [22:35] Damn, I dont want to think about it. [22:35] no kidding [22:35] Such a ripoff world we live in. [22:36] yes and the media companies want to make it worse [22:36] DRM [22:36] Cheer up, we could all be forced to use 1541 drives still [22:36] I actually like using them! [22:36] last i heard there are several of the big lables trying to get apple to lower the 5 computer and ulimited loads on a Ipot [22:36] :) [22:36] Well not like, but you know... [22:36] it was a novel idea to have a CPU on the device, even if it was out of necessity [22:37] Yock, I agree [22:37] DRM is getting so strong it is getting to the point of not working well.....sound fmilar? Rapidlok [22:37] all over again [22:37] It's a "smart" device. [22:37] Talk about plug and play :) [22:37] DRM is a flawed idea [22:37] yep [22:37] as long as you can tell that a device or content is indeed locked, there will be ways to circumvent those locks [22:37] one reason people went over to the PC..no copy protection at the time [22:38] exactly [22:38] * yock remembers all those EagleSoft cracks [22:38] just hurts the end user [22:38] it will still get cracked and sold [22:38] or at least given [22:38] Well we're already forced to endure hours upon hours to deal with our data [22:38] spam [22:38] viruses [22:38] adware [22:38] yep [22:38] I really like going to my C= machines. [22:38] I ceased using Windows for those very reasons [22:39] No BS [22:39] Im too stupid to use linux or anything else. [22:39] If you say so [22:39] Well [22:39] * Moloch throws a box out [22:40] I dont know. I have a few linux distros [22:40] lol, hey Moloch! [22:40] ;) [22:40] If you can remember device numbering and interpreted vs executable binary memory space, you can figure out Linux [22:40] Ohh I like where this is going :) [22:40] * Balzabaar returns... [22:41] stephan, the road has been taken many many times. [22:41] Suffice to say, I'll migrate when I have to ... [22:41] And, I never put anything on a Pc that Im not willing to lose. [22:42] I actually learned Linux as a result of running a simple voice chat server for a gaming clan I helped run [22:42] I know. No one is too stupid to learn Linux [22:42] Sure, maybe a better way to put it is that I dont feel as though I have enough time. [22:42] I can accept that, [22:42] Meh, it's different. You need to want to do it. [22:42] Course I do sit around and wait for C= stuff to work :) [22:43] lol [22:43] I don't evangelize anymore [22:43] * golan (~golan@CPE001310a1a973-CM000039a99662.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Quit: Get MacIrssi - http://www.g1m0.se/macirssi/ ) [22:43] Well I've been messing around with Linux since Caldera was considered cool [22:43] If people come to me for help, I do everything I can, but I gave up convincing people to use Linux, simply because it directed their frustrations at me when it didn't work. [22:44] yeah, I never used Caldera [22:44] yock: You are soooo correct :) [22:44] that was in 99 [22:44] I got into it in September of 2002 [22:44] yock, that happens with every os. Thats why I dont help friends and family. lol when it breaks they blame me. [22:44] That was when we founded the Unreal/Counterstrike Clan at DSLR [22:45] Yeah, good stuff. [22:45] CJ, I only help when approached [22:45] it helps defer the blame =) [22:45] hehe [22:45] yes [22:45] I actually need to use Windows a bit this week. [22:45] *SHOCK* [22:45] My best friend's Fiancee needs this silly PO database written in Access [22:46] ah [22:46] She has a Word template that contains fields of data she wants to track [22:46] Great Plains [22:46] ! [22:46] No, no one is spending money here [22:46] Get open office and do it that way [22:46] much less the friend who's helping for free [22:46] gamemaste, I'd love to, twop problems [22:46] yock, Im pretty good with those types of things. [22:46] two* [22:46] If you need help. I can. [22:46] CJ, it's what I do for work, except I do data analysis rather than purchase orders [22:46] VFP developer for 12 years [22:47] database is my life [22:47] oh [22:47] * CJ steps off. [22:47] ah [22:47] Same [22:47] gamemaste, first problem is, she has MS Office at work [22:47] then you know SQL like the back of your hand [22:47] :) [22:47] I'm pretty adept, yes [22:47] I'm going to have to get going... good night, everyone... [22:47] Night Balz [22:47] * punch (~oldfart@lackawna-cadent2-24-55-169-183.lkwnny.adelphia.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) [22:47] Later Balzabaar [22:47] ah, well you still could create such on open office but if she "needs" access then yes I supose so [22:47] second problem is that OpenOffice Base is a buggy piece of crap [22:48] it is much better in 2.1 [22:48] is it? [22:48] yep [22:48] * Balzabaar (~balza@pool-71-165-160-101.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) Quit [22:48] much faster and I haven't had crashes [22:48] I haven't used it since they released .1 [22:48] lots of improvments since then [22:48] I'll have to revisit [22:48] yes it is worth a look [22:48] OOo has really bogged down since they released 2.0 [22:49] I've been using Gnumeric and Abiword [22:49] well they did come out with 2.1 in dec [22:49] that's very new then [22:49] yock: I agree. I have moved to Abiword for all my WP needs [22:49] * yock checks to see what's installed [22:49] yes and base is much better in 2.1 vs 2.0 [22:50] Gnumeric is a fantastic spreadsheet application, but it doesn't do macros. [22:50] OOo does macros, but their language sucks [22:50] hmm abiword? hmm might have to look that up [22:50] As much as I hate to admit it, VBA really adds value to MS Office [22:50] And Abi word is also available for windows :) [22:50] indeed it is [22:51] hmmm [22:51] I have been using OO Write and finding it quite featured and usefull [22:51] Looks like I have 2.0.4 on Ubuntu Edgy [22:51] * yock checks for backports from Feisty [22:51] Hello. [22:51] Yo [22:51] had to run to Frys. [22:52] hi smj [22:52] my first visit ;-) [22:52] Frys is like the disney land of consumerism [22:52] lol no kidding [22:52] the exit queue long is .. sickness. [22:52] wish they had them around here [22:52] Trendy and expensive? [22:52] No, cheap and enclusive. [22:52] Fry's is a hodge podge of electronics [22:52] they sell everything there. [22:52] yep [22:53] Thank gawd we don't have one here! [22:53] 1541's? [22:53] and none around here :P [22:53] I went to the one on Sepulveda Blvd in LA last year [22:53] yes, but they had the 28 pin socket with extra long solder tails which I neede dfor my SID2SID [22:53] true if theyhad one here I would go broke lol [22:53] I think this fry's opened about 5 or so years ago.. its the first time (and maybe the last) that I visit it. [22:53] I thoughti t was a music store. [22:53] why the last? [22:53] lol nope [22:53] lol [22:53] I'll have to check it out. [22:54] I get stressed out in large places with hoards of people. [22:54] ah [22:54] Yeah, I hate that too [22:54] it's getting bad [22:54] and they have a sales person assigned to each isle [22:54] I'm more apt to worry if there's no one around. Makes me think they all know something I don't [22:54] lol yok know that feeling [22:55] but anyway, now I can finish the SID2SID :) [22:55] I go shopping sometimes and it feels like Im in pakistan or something......not that there is anything wrong with that... [22:55] Overcrowded etc. [22:55] and inventory in grab piles? [22:55] Frys is a bit more organized, but there are sections where its like a street market [22:55] they wheel in carts full of crap. [22:56] CJ, Fry's is like MicroCenter, but instead of just computer stuff it's also consumer electronics and a Radio Shack type thing. [22:56] not quite as 'fun' as the old KMART blue light special though. [22:56] See I miss the old Radio shacks [22:56] yes seen that at wall marts for example [22:56] YES! [22:56] I was just talking to my wife about that. [22:56] Radio shack used to be great. [22:56] but you wont catch me there ever again. [22:56] ever. [22:56] yeah, old RS with the parts bins [22:56] sometime in the mid 80s they got this 'retailer' mentality [22:57] din plugs [22:57] Yes weve got questions and they never have the answers lol [22:57] I went there the other day for din plugs [22:57] No idea. [22:57] No clue what I was talking about. [22:57] exactly, i went for a 28 pin socket with long wire wrap tails and they told me to go to Big Box Mart :) [22:57] their sales force now only cares about iPods and cell phones [22:57] well guys I have to split [22:57] See ya Gamemaste [22:57] r [22:57] they wouldn't know what a capacitor was if you shoved it up their nose [22:57] RS used to sell synthesizer kits.

[23:48] * Roadnoise (Roadnoise@da001d0649.nyc-ny.osd.concentric.net) has joined #c64friends [23:48] dunno about experts [23:48] Hi roadnoise [23:49] Just finishing up SID2SID and getting ready to install [23:49] Hello smj. [23:49] I have to solder a 'chip select' wire to the cartridge connector [23:50] Good project, eh? Hope all works out there. [23:50] Audio on the second sid goes to its own phono plug, but what I wanted to know is where can I get to the normal SID audio? [23:51] * Squatdog (~pepito@124-168-105-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [23:52] Best I ever did with any kind of "stereo" sid was with that cart I got from Dr.Evil labs years ago. [23:53] If it's on the SX, just plug in the monitor DIN and grab the audio from that [23:54] http://sdf.lonestar.org/curiosity/sx64/ [23:55] theres the fancy work. [23:55] oh you're right snog [23:55] * Squatdog (~pepito@124-168-105-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #c64friends [23:55] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Squatdog [23:55] hmmm.. have you heard of anyone blowing their sid that way while the unit is on and you plug/unplug it from an amp? [23:55] I'll just have to be careful. [23:55] yes it is common occurance [23:56] I'll be extra careful. [23:56] Considering I soldered both SIDs to the daughter board. [23:56] SYKE! [23:56] or is that psyche [23:56] or .. [23:56] anyway [23:56] I'll be extra careful [23:57] Is there also a ground on the userport that the 'normal' 64 does not have? [23:57] you can get a discharge going either direction on the cable [23:57] yikes. [23:58] ya, the user port is slightly different...a floating ground is all I remember about it [23:58] okay, everything off when I do any interconnecting. [23:58] I'm sure there is a writeup about that... [23:58] ahh OK. I believe I may need to cut that to use that port (for external sync .. its a +/-5v pulse) [23:58] Yes I just foun dit. [23:58] alot of SX's were getting user port issues until it was figured out [23:58] BTW, did you create an account on SDF? [23:59] ya, I did to see what it had being free [23:59] I just validated it [23:59] I noticed you put the sticker I gave you on the box you sent me :) [23:59] http://www.zimmers.net/commie/docs/sx64.txt [00:00] this has details on the port. [00:00] what sticker? [00:01] You're roger? [00:01] Nope... [00:02] I'm sorry, you have to forgive me. I'm notorious for not remember people's names or what they do :( [00:02] but you did get me hooked up with CCCC used gear, correct?
