[21:50] Gezz LR... you're smarter than everyone in Canada [21:50] I'm a contractor and getting classified costs out the a$$ [21:50] Worked on propellers. [21:51] {Balzabaar} C64er: I guess they must make you pay for the background checks they do. [21:51] \beanie on head\ [21:51] IF I was so smart, how come I can sit around all day, trying to sell RPGs and the C=, along with playing on the C= most of the day? Oh wait I just answered that one didn't I {VBG} [21:51] {Balzabaar} Either that, or they go out and get wasted on the money you give 'em. ;) [21:52] ...with prop. [21:52] my IQ was around 140 at age 18, now it's only 132 [21:52] In fact today I fought with GoDot for a few hours. Trying to find a loader for the handy scanner, and the one on the disk, doesn't work. [21:52] {Balzabaar} BRB [21:52] Bal: They take that money and sn ort most of it. [21:52] jsut goes to show you that kids are a bunch of smart ***es [21:52] Looks like I'm the village idiot. Oh well... [21:53] I'm basically a dumb***, I'm just good at running networks and building up systems. :-) [21:53] don't feel bad Antares51... it never did me any good [21:54] in fact the guy with the highest IQ in canada trives buses now [21:54] he used to be an enginear [21:54] sp [21:54] It doesn't seem to help me any either. Just glad I've got some Commodore computers. [21:55] Engineers are mostly idiots with a degree. :-) [21:55] true contentment [21:55] Hear ya, got a couple of degrees and couldn't get a decent job with them. Too smart for the jobs, too dumb to not show what I knew. [21:55] Contentment is watching my 64 light up. [21:55] it's not what you know but who you blow [21:55] * LordRonin working on BBSD HD at the moment [21:56] Sad but true. [21:56] Left QRoom: ShadowM [21:56] Anybody can get a PC. Special people have Commodore 8 bits. [21:57] YEAH! [21:57] PC's have no soul. [21:57] Hell even a Ti99 has a soul. [21:57] I was good at the sciences and maths but not so good with words, so I had a hard time selling myself [21:58] that was my first real computer [21:58] I'm lucky in that I can bull**** with the best. ;-) [21:58] * Fuzz-PSW (~Fuzz-PSW@NewNet-269E8AD1.algonquincollege.com) has joined #c64friends [21:58] My first was a COCO2 [21:59] well it you got that down pat then that's pretty much all you need, cause I've lots of friends with less credits than I, and they've all done pretty well for themselves [21:59] Hoi Fuzz [21:59] Fuzz!

[22:03] :) [22:04] {Balzabaar} Hi Robert! :) [22:04] Hello Robert B. [22:04] {Balzabaar} Robert, yes... I work on Saturdays... but I work earlier on Saturdays now, so most weeks I'm able [22:04] {Balzabaar} to get on here for the chat. :) [22:05] Hi, Robert W. [22:05] Oh, does that mean you are free after 6 p.m. on Saturdays? [22:05] Ahhhh! The Vodka is starting to kick in boys! [22:05] * Antares51 passes around freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies. [22:05] Yummy [22:06] No, thanks... had chocolate cake already. :-) [22:06] haven't had a stiff drink in 10+ years [22:06] {Balzabaar} I can't say that for sure EVERY Saturday... but most Saturdays, yes. [22:06] {Balzabaar} Why do you ask? [22:06] Next Saturday is the SC3 party in Claremont. [22:07] I invited Charles G. to the shindig already. [22:07] {Balzabaar} ahhh... so that's what he was talking about. He mentioned something about it, but he wasn't [22:07] {Balzabaar} very specific. [22:08] I can send you all the pertinent details right now. [22:08] bbl [22:08] ciao [22:08] {Balzabaar} OK :) [22:08] Bye viper.

[22:09] * LordRonin is making partitions for the BBS [22:09] {Balzabaar} Robert: BTW - Status update on your LTK... [22:10] Aye-aye, sir. :-) [22:10] {Balzabaar} Working with the "LTK Guru", we've determined that the SCSI drive that I got from Charles is not [22:10] {Balzabaar} compatible. [22:10] {Balzabaar} Good news is that I have another drive on its way to me now... [22:10] Arghh. [22:10] Message sent to your e-mail address, Andrew. [22:11] Ah, you've been in contact with "LTK Guru". Give him my regards. [22:12] Main drive on this computer is an Atlas USCSI 320 running at 10K rpm. [22:12] {Balzabaar} Robert: Got the e-mail... Looks like it'll be running late, so I'll definately try to make... [22:12] {Balzabaar} ..."an appearance". :) [22:12] 39.5 gig. [22:12] {Balzabaar} Robert: I have given him your regards... He knows it's your LTK that I'm working on now. [22:13] I'm going to sneak in a SX-64, 1702 monitor, a couple of joysticks, and a box of disk games into SC3. :-) [22:13] Oh, thank you very much, Andrew. [22:13] {Balzabaar} "sneak in"??? ;) [22:13] Well, amongst all the other machines there. :-) [22:14] {Balzabaar} Message says you're encouraged to bring your classic gaming trade bait. :) [22:14] Oh, I'm not trading. :-) [22:15] {Balzabaar} Charles says you're picking him up to take him there... If you like, I could take him back home. [22:16] {Balzabaar} We could share the responsibility. ;) [22:16] O.K., Andrew, I'll figure out the scheduling. [22:17] {Balzabaar} BTW everyone ... Bil Herd posted a message to the cbm-hackers list... [22:17] What is it? [22:17] Interesting. [22:17] {Balzabaar} He says he's going to be a guest on the Linux Link Tech Show next Saturday at 8:30 PM Eastern. [22:17] Where is that located? [22:18] {Balzabaar} http://www.tllts.org [22:18] {Balzabaar} Looks like it's a web radio show. [22:19] {Balzabaar} Oops... got my days mixed up...

[22:20] {Balzabaar} He says "I am sure I will be telling some of the old stories (since no one has figured out a way [22:20] Bye, Antares. [22:20] {Balzabaar} to shut me up yet)" [22:20] Nite [22:20] BCNU Ant* [22:20] {Balzabaar} G'nite, Antares! [22:21] * Antares51 (~Richard_E@NewNet-641EFC4C.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Fun.)

[22:22] {Balzabaar} The Linux Link Tech Show [22:22] LR, have you gone through the email I sent you yet? [22:22] Linux is for sissies! :-) [22:22] DOS 2.0 BABY! lol [22:22] The Interesting Linux Tech Show -- TILTS. ;-) [22:23] {Balzabaar} OK... have it your way. ;) [22:23] The Ubuntu Today Show [22:23] Oh, just received a message from the person who runs our website. [22:24] More photos are posted today. [22:24] {Balzabaar} Robert: I forwarded Bil's e-mail to you. [22:25] Go to http://www.dickestel.com/gamingparty07.htm in order to see photos of the July 12 Commodore Gaming E3 party that was in Santa Monica, CA. [22:26] Hoi Eddie, ah at the moment I am making the partitions from 26-54 on that HD. How did you get the dir in a dir? I'll have to find a way to copy that to the areas. And yeah did do a read, but not a reply as of yet [22:26] {Balzabaar} Wow... I've already seen so many photos from that that I feel like I was there! ;) [22:26] If it's the same e-mail address that I have for Bil, it's not working for me. [22:26] Oh, these are the *best* photos, Andrew. [22:26] New pic of Jeri. She cut half her hair of. [22:27] {Balzabaar} LR: Use @md:dirname to make a new directory... you can do that in a root dir or a sub-dir. [22:27] Nah, the right half and the left half are still there. ;-) [22:28] well, it's a lot shorter [22:28] {Balzabaar} OK Robert... Taking a look now. :) [22:28] Is that the bogus PC gaming company using the Commodcore name? [22:28] {Balzabaar} I saw all of Charles' photos, too, y'know... And those haven't been posted anywhere... [22:29] They are now. Half the photos are from Charles. [22:29] Balzabaar know that one, wondering how to copy out of the sub-sub directory into a full partition. Never did that before. Have to try Fcopy+ I am guessing [22:29] Looks like a good time. [22:29] C64er, yes, Commodore Gaming is the name of the company with the high-priced gaming PCs. [22:30] C64er, that's what the new C= are.. Top PC gaming machines. [22:30] {Balzabaar} LR: Yes, FCOPY will do the trick there. [22:30] And noting to do with our beloved machines. [22:30] * CBMGuy (~CBMGuy@NewNet-D531718A.regina.accesscomm.ca) has joined #c64friends [22:30] Ah, they all have a C= emulator with 50 games. :-) [22:30] Hoi CBMGuy [22:31] Hi, CBMGuy. [22:31] {Balzabaar} C64er: Not NOTHING... The name and the logo are there. ;) [22:31] Hi CBZMGuy [22:31] hey pplz. Been awhile... what did I miss ;) [22:31] Yeah , but the C64 soul is with us. All they have is a name and a logo. [22:31] LR, no reply needed. Got yo9ur other one, thank you. Just didnt want you to open the virgin drive ;) [22:31] LR, what you mean about the dir in a dir? oh, embedded? [22:32] Thanks Balzabaar this is a new one for me. Have to enter a sub sub directory to pull out the files. Eventually setting up the HD as it was in the past. At the same time working on the BBS set up. I'm having fun fun fun in the sun sun sun {G} [22:33] {Balzabaar} LR: Personally, I never used any sub-sub directories... but I know it's possible. ;) [22:33] EdDIE embedded it the term? Yeah I need to copy the @cd//lr/40 to partition 40 and I saw that you had my directories there all nice and pretty. Never done that before myself. [22:33] {Balzabaar} LR: Oh yeah, I can just imagine all the fun you're having. I'm just happy that my BBS has... [22:33] {Balzabaar} ...remained stable since I re-built the LTK. [22:33] Balzabaar read it in the manual a while ago, a long while ago [22:33] {Balzabaar} I've been making regular back-ups, too. [22:34] {Balzabaar} I'm quite sure that if I stopped making the backups, THEN something would go wrong! ;) [22:34] That reminds me of a talk we had a few weeks back on file copies. According to the JiffyDos manual It will copy REL and most USR files [22:35] {Balzabaar} Yes, I copied REL and USR files with FCOPY. [22:37] * beeman (~Javauser@NewNet-5A69352D.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Broken pipe) [22:39] {Balzabaar} wow... everyone's so quiet... ;) [22:40] {Balzabaar} Has anyone here played the Cronosoft game called Stranded? [22:40] Sorry... just watching Star Trek: Remastered. [22:40] OK then how about this one. Any one remember what the "DD" in front of a file name is for? Can't remember if that is for blazing paddles or which format [22:40] {Balzabaar} Robert: Perfectly understandable. ;) [22:41] {Balzabaar} DD in front? Not sure about that one... [22:41] Right, it's Amok Time with Spock in Vulcan heat. ;-) [22:41] wasn't DD doodle? [22:42] LR, I used FCOPY+ and did it all by hand. Used the S key to set the source directory, and T to select the target one. [22:42] Yeah like the one that says "DDMR>SPOCK" at 36 blocks. I'll have to put some on disk and see what autograph tells me [22:42] Stranded? Is that the one with the platform of squares in space? [22:42] LR: Is that Doddle? [22:42] {Balzabaar} Robert: Yeah, the one you had at CommVEx, then I bought when I got back home. [22:43] {Balzabaar} I've managed to get to level 5, but no further... [22:43] Much farther than me, Andrew! [22:43] EdDIE thanks I as wondering about copying a directory into a partition. You surprised me very pleasently with what you did, thanks. Now I have made the partitions from 26 through 54. I'm working on starting the copy work. [22:43] It is a very playable game. [22:43] {Balzabaar} You get a new "password" after level 4, so you can restart at 5 without going back to the [22:43] {Balzabaar} beginning. [22:43] I thought that DD was doodle, and gg was compressed koala with jj being blazing paddles. I'll find out tomorrow when I test some fo these files. [22:44] DD is doodle. [22:45] I didn't know that about the game, Andrew. [22:45] {Balzabaar} I guess you haven't solved level 4 then. ;) [22:46] Thanks Caricon [22:46] {Balzabaar} It's time for me to go... Take care everyone! :) [22:46] {Balzabaar} Good night. [22:47] Bye, Andrew.

I wanted to get his permission to have a friend burn KeyDOS for me. [23:01] how'd it go? [23:01] Well, he didn't even have the code, the burners, or the chips anymore. [23:02] I don't know what happened. [23:02] doesnt someone else have them? [23:02] So I e-mailed him the code again, and he will try to dig up the original instruction book that goes with KeyDOS. [23:02] nm you said a friend had them [23:03] nice [23:03] So, will he make KeyDOS public domain? [23:03] Kind of hard to use all of KeyDOS's features without the exact instructions. [23:03] Unknown, Snog. [23:04] I'll find out in the next few weeks (I hope). [23:04] seems to me if he didn't have all that stuff, he wasn't going to use it anymore... [23:04] I want that Basic 7 assist thing that Alee is selling... what is it called? lemme see if I can find [23:04] Basic 8? [23:05] I do not know the circumstances in regards to his not having the KeyDOS code. [23:08] hmm cant seem to find it now... not basic 8 [23:09] Super Chip? [23:09] it is a program that loads and when you hit the help key, it give you help on that BASIC command and the parameters, syntax, etc... [23:09] Hmm. [23:09] has anyone seen moloch lately? [23:10] Not me. [23:10] :( [23:10] He was here last Saturday. [23:11] yeah haven't seen him since :( [23:13] Gotta run kids. See you all next week. Good night Mr. Butterfield, we miss you!

[23:19] * WizardNJ (~WizardNJ@NewNet-170F6B56.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: ) [23:20] according to http://www.commodore128.org keydos is in the public domain [23:20] Who wrote that? [23:21] there is a download for the utilities disk and the code it appears... [23:21] http://landover.no-ip.com/files/diskfile/keydos.zip [23:21] Yeah, but who said it was public domain? [23:22] that's what it says on the website [23:22] KeyDOS is released into the public domain and documentation in seq file format is included. [23:22] I've been following the discussion on chips for some time at commodore128.org and that was never discussed. [23:23] I will e-mail Lance about that and see what he says. [23:23] yeah where on the website does it say that? [23:24] http://www.commodore128.org/down17.html [23:24] scroll down to keydos [23:24] Randy Winchester has never told me that it was p.d.. [23:25] Of course, Lance has been putting up stuff which is not exactly p.d.. [23:25] Lance Lyon I guess is owner of the page... [23:25] * Fuzz-PSW (~Fuzz-PSW@NewNet-269E8AD1.algonquincollege.com) Quit (Ping timeout) [23:25] Right. [23:25] so he would be the one to ask where he got the info [23:26] Hey, that's what I said above. :-) [23:27] Oh, wait... I see the difference. [23:27] The KeyDOS at commodore128.org is the older KeyDOS. [23:27] It's not the newer KeyDOS v2 (now at v2.3). [23:28] from the description on the webpage, it's hard to tell what version it is [23:29] I've been communicating with Randy about v2.3. [23:32] I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out then [23:32] Right. [23:33] Anybody get all 3 files from Gamebase V5 yet? [23:33] 3 files of what? [23:33] Gamebase64 [23:34] A database? [23:34] http://www.gamebase64.com/ [23:36] I've got two of the three files downloaded, but at 3gb plus, it's gonna take a while [23:37] Hmm, with this slow connection, it would be impossible for me to get. ;-) [23:38] ya, I've got a computer downloading it, near a wireless spot that's open [23:39] My dad has generous neighbors [23:39] Speaking of wireless, the school district will take back their laptop from me. The district giveth, the district taketh away. ;-) [23:39] no option to buy it from them? [23:40] Nope. Anyway, it was just an ordinary Dell laptop. [23:40] :P [23:40] Bottom-of-the-line. [23:40] good thing you bought yourself one then... [23:40] The screen was really fuzzy and the drive small. [23:40] Hard drive, that is.

[23:44] I know I can stay on longer than 3, I do it here every weekend [23:45] I can stay online, but have a download limit, then I'm cut for 24hrs if I go over. [23:45] Nah, I have to eventually keep my line open for other things. :-) [23:45] is that NetZero? [23:45] DirecTV Hughes Net. [23:46] I can only download like 470 megs.. that's it.. [23:46] I know NetZero used to have that kind of setup... [23:46] And I think that is either a 12 or 24 hour period. [23:47] It really sucks. Can't really view vidoes or do much of any of the cool things online. [23:47] System goes down a lot [23:47] Any rain storm, the system goes down. [23:47] What's your monthly download limit? [23:48] 475 megs per day I think is it. [23:48] or 470 or something like thaT. [23:48] That's not to much, actually... [23:49] There is a couple of other wireless services around, but we can't get a good signal from them. [23:49] * weirdwolf (weirdwolf@NewNet-6070B9C0.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [23:49] No, it's not much at all. Just view you-tube or even news sites, can hit that limit quick. [23:50] Do you get a notice as it approaches the limit? [23:50] nope. [23:50] You will still be connected to the net, but it's as slow as can be. [23:50] Randy Winchester sent me the address of a site for transmitting huge files. It's http://www.yousendit.com [23:51] And the service is locked slow for 24hrs. [23:53] And like 5 miles away they have DSL [23:54] * iViper (~peter_gre@NewNet-CA4770FE.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #c64friends [23:55] Hi, iViper. [23:55] g'day RB [23:55] getting quiet now is it? [23:55] Yup. [23:56] next weekend I will probably be late or not on at all [23:56] Inventory time at work :/ [23:56] yuk [23:56] Next weekend I will be at the SC3 party, and so, it will be hard for me to connect to here. [23:56] ya, it's the problem on being the only one knowing how to do it right.. :/ [23:56] I hate inventory almost as much as I hate broccoli [23:57] Hey, I like broccoli... and brussel sprouts. :-) [23:57] even the boss isn't sure how to do it [23:57] 1 box, 2 boxes... that's about it. [23:57] 1 item @ a time [23:58] almost, until you get to the computerized entry [23:58] then all the reports that need to be generated afterwards [23:58] Paperwork?! [23:58] We have scan guns for that. Walk up, scan the slot, count it, change if needed. [23:58] I like broccoli... and brussels sprouts too, and everything elso too... [23:59] it's just that the broccoli comment reminds me of a late night infomercial [23:59] Boing! [00:00] Broccolis on informercials? [00:00] well folks, time for me to mosey along [00:00] obviously never shopped at CTC [00:00] Bye, Snog. [00:00] Night Snogpitch. [00:00] catch y'all in a couple weeks... [00:00] nite snog [00:00] niters folks [00:00] * Disconnected End of #c64friends buffer Sun Sep 09 00:01:24 2007
