[20:51] <Snogpitch> Howdy folks
[20:51] <smj> greetings snog
[20:51] <Antares51> Evening Mr. Witmer, sir.
[20:51] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} hiya, Snogpitch.
[20:51] <Stephan> Hey
[20:51] <Stephan> Heheh on and off ona and off
[20:51] <smj> is it eggsnog time yet? I saw it at the grocery store .. a bit early.
[20:51] <golan> Evening, snog to the p to the i to the t to the c to the h.
[20:51] <iViper> yeah I've been on Schema's site before, so I think that's the route I'll take.
[20:51] <golan> It's getting more and more difficult to think of new ways to greet you.
[20:51] <beeman> JI, Snogpitch
[20:52] <iViper> G'day Snogpitch
[20:52] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} SMJ:  Christmas season seems to come earlier every year at stores...
[20:52] <smj> they've got to maximize their profits.
[20:52] <Caricon> They have christmas stuff out arleady here.
[20:53] <Snogpitch> Howdy is good enough for me :)
[20:53] <Antares51> Saw neighborhood Christmas lights already lit.
[20:53] <golan> It's all Halloween stuff here. Day after, it's Christmas Christmas Christmas.
[20:53] <Caricon> No more waiting till the day after Thanksgiving.
[20:54] <Snogpitch> Ya Halloween stuff doesn't come down until November
[20:54] <iViper> some ppl never take their xmas lights down, they just plug them in when it gets close to xmas
[20:54] <golan> I was just glad they got rid of all the back to school crap and replaced it with bite-sized 
  candy bars.
[20:54] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} Golan:  You said you went to visit Joe?  How's he doing?
[20:54] <Snogpitch> My neighbor still has their Christmas lights up from last year
[20:54] <smj> that is pretty convenient.
[20:54] <golan> Every day is Christmas day at No. 9.
[20:55] <Antares51> Bah. Handbag!
[20:55] <Antares51> ...and stuff.
[20:55] <iViper> I saw a Viral Video about a nagging wife going on at her hubby about taking so long to do 
  the xmas light thing
[20:56] <Q-Link> Entered QRoom: Snogpitch
[20:56] <iViper> finally he just went out in the yard and plugged them in
[20:56] * Antares51 prefers hayrack rides and s'mores.
[20:56] <iViper> it's funnier when you see it
[20:57] <Hellion_1> Mmmm, s'mores...
[20:57] <golan> Gack. The drive in this 128D appears borked. That's going to be a right PITA the fix.
[20:57] <iViper> humbugs are one of my fav candies
[20:57] <Q-Link> Entered QRoom: GornGoblin
[20:57] <golan> Remember kids, it only costs 100% more to have a backup.
[20:57] <Snogpitch> Howdy GornGoblin
[20:57] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} Howdy
[20:57] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} been an interesting day for football
[20:57] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} hmmm... fixing 1571D's is always a good time.   ;)
[20:58] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} Hey Balzabaar!
[20:58] <Antares51> I want Christmas to take its time coming this year.
[20:58] <Snogpitch> wow, 3 of us on Q tonight!
[20:58] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} How goes Nuke-Em! ?
[20:58] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} Hey GornGoblin!  :)
[20:58] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} Q-Link Lives!
[20:58] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} Both Nuke 'Em and Empire City continue to be quite popular.  :)
[20:59] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} I was thinking about checking out Empire City
[20:59] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} Got 'absorbed' in last game of Nuke-Em heh
[20:59] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} You should... We always need fresh meat.  ;)
[20:59] <smj> balzabaar what TZ is cottonwood bbs in?
[20:59] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} I may once work slows donw
[20:59] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} down
[21:00] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} SMJ:  Pacific
[21:00] <Snogpitch> work slows down?
[21:00] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} I hope it does
[21:00] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} hehe

[21:01] <smj> hi robert
[21:01] <Snogpitch> Howdy RobertB
[21:01] <Antares51> Evening Mr. Bernardo, sir.
[21:01] <iViper> Evening RobertB
[21:02] <RobertB> Hi, Steve, Snog, Antares, and iViper.
[21:02] <beeman> Hello Big Robert B.
[21:02] <RobertB> Hi, Robert W.
[21:02] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} SMJ:  No, why do you ask?
[21:02] <iViper> RB don't look so big
[21:02] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} Hi RB
[21:02] <Q-Link> {GornGoblin} be back in a few - moving locations
[21:02] <smj> it seems I don't have to wait until after midnight to play nukem again
[21:02] <Q-Link> Left QRoom: GornGoblin
[21:03] <Snogpitch> hmmm, one less on Q now...
[21:03] <iViper> ahhh
[21:03] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} SMJ:  The BBS goes through a reset routine at midnight...
[21:04] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} That's when all the games get reset, so you shouldn't be able to play again 
  until then when you
[21:04] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} run out of moves.
[21:05] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} Robert:  I won't be able to make it to the FCUG picnic tomorrow...  I hope 
  you'll tell everyone I
[21:05] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} said hi, though.  :)
[21:05] <RobertB> O.K., I will, Andrew.
[21:05] <Snogpitch> mmmmm picnic :9
[21:06] <smj> okay, maybe I skipped a day then.
[21:06] <smj> oh.. wait, if I get totally destroyed I guess my 'game' would reset too :)
[21:07] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} SMJ:  Yes, that's true...  If you get "killed", then you would be able to take 
  over a new country
[21:07] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} and start over.

[21:09] <Snogpitch> I've been watching Star Trek fan videos rather than the TV today
[21:09] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} Hiya, Zapman.  :)
[21:09] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahhh
[21:09] <Zapman> Hello everyone
[21:09] <RobertB> Like what, Snog.
[21:10] <RobertB> Hi, Steve R.
[21:10] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I've watched some TV but have been messing with Amiga Emulator Fixed disk image 
  files
[21:10] <Antares51> A really BAD day for the huskers!
[21:10] <Zapman> Hi Robertb
[21:10] <Snogpitch> Star Trek New Voyages, Odyssey, and the latest from Exeter
[21:10] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} yep
[21:10] <RobertB> Ooo, I haven't checked out the latest from NV or from Od.
[21:10] <Antares51> BTW I'm in Omaha.
[21:11] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Oh cool!  My home town
[21:11] <Snogpitch> Ya, the one with Sulu is online
[21:11] <Antares51> Same here.
[21:11] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I'll be there during Thanksgiving
[21:11] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} where do you live in Omaha?
[21:11] <RobertB> What is your opinion of it, Snog?
[21:11] <Antares51> Maybe you'll look me up.
[21:11] <Snogpitch> Odyssey was a bit longer than I thought it would be
[21:11] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} east / west...?
[21:11] <smj> new exeter?
[21:11] <smj> or .. act 3 ? :)
[21:11] <Antares51> I live near Benson.
[21:11] <Snogpitch> opinion of New Voyages?  I enjoyed it
[21:12] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} my trips to Omaha are soooo hurried
[21:12] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahh cool
[21:12] <RobertB> Act 3, Steve J.
[21:12] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I have to drive to Hastings to see my little sister
[21:12] <smj> finally :)
[21:12] <Moloch> yep, about time
[21:12] <Snogpitch> ya, took forever for Act 3 Exeter to show up
[21:12] <Antares51> My sister's in Rhode Island.
[21:12] <RobertB> Did they tame the acrobatics of the NCC-1701 in NV finally?
[21:12] <Snogpitch> hopefully the final act won't take that long
[21:13] <Snogpitch> acrobatics?
[21:13] <Antares51> Hastings is quite a way from here.
[21:13] <RobertB> Yeah, the TIE fighter moves it had in earlier episodes.
[21:13] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} yep
[21:13] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} its a long drive
[21:13] <Antares51> Sure is.
[21:14] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Hastings reminds me of a Huskerfied Council Bluffs
[21:14] <Q-Link> {Balzabaar} I'm going to have to duck out early today...  Good night all!  :)
[21:14] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} hehe
[21:14] <RobertB> Bye, Andrew.
[21:14] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Nite Bal!  See you on Cottonwood
[21:14] <Snogpitch> Didn't notice any but wasn't looking for it either...
[21:14] <Antares51> Niters Andrew.
[21:14] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} So
[21:15] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Antares - your handle is named after a star?
[21:15] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Or maybe a game?
[21:15] <Antares51> Yep.
[21:15] <Q-Link> Left QRoom: Balzabaar
[21:15] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I think there was an old war game called Revolt on Antares or something
[21:15] <Antares51> After a red giant star.

[21:19] <LordRonin> Hoi beeman
[21:19] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Geos rocks
[21:19] <Antares51> Indeed.
[21:19] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I played Risk in it once.  Quite fun
[21:19] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} GeoWorld?
[21:19] <Antares51> Same here.
[21:19] <LordRonin> HuskerFan sorry not you. Man that isn't wired in Snogpitch's group. I owe him several 
  disks of files.
[21:20] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} darn  hehe
[21:20] <LordRonin> Ah that would be GeoWars, and I am sending that along in the games.
[21:20] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Yes - GeoWars
[21:20] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Glad to see Geos is still used
[21:20] <LordRonin> Never got far in the Cluster Wars one.
[21:20] <Q-Link> Entered QRoom: MikeAZ1
[21:20] <Antares51> I'm trying to use GEOS with 64HDD.
[21:21] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} LR - didn't you do your User Group magazine completely in Geos?
[21:21] <LordRonin> Did beat GeoWars. The sho-vah played it one night during the regular game session, on his 
  SX64
[21:21] <LordRonin> Hoi MikeAZ1

[21:21] <Antares51> WB Mike.
[21:21] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} indeed
[21:21] <LordRonin> HuskerFan still do 12 pages in GeoPublish. Eventually be back in the Post PRint booklet 
  format. OR so I hope <S>
[21:22] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I have one copy of it
[21:22] <LordRonin> This month should be going out on Monday
[21:22] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} but stopped receiving them once your system went down
[21:22] <Snogpitch> Monday is only 2 days away?!
[21:22] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I wonder if Im still on the mailing list
[21:23] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I wish I was near a user group
[21:23] <LordRonin> Oh??? When I lost the HD, I lost the mailing list. Did you get yours as a member or the 
  freebie that I give away to those that request a copy or logged onto the BBS?
[21:23] <LordRonin> We have more long distance members than we have local
[21:23] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I got one freebie
[21:23] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahh
[21:23] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} well send me info on joining your group if you would
[21:24] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Id love to be a member of a Commodore user group
[21:24] <Snogpitch> HuskerFan, are you in Michigan?
[21:24] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I have yet to make it to a show
[21:24] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Nope Im in Tennessee
[21:24] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Knoxville
[21:25] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} there was an Amiga club here when I first moved here but it has fizzled
[21:25] <Snogpitch> OK, then the Cincinnati group is probably your closest
[21:25] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} yep
[21:25] <LordRonin> Would try to do a PM with you. But not sure if it reached you in Q-Link
[21:25] <Snogpitch> not exactly commuting distance tho
[21:25] <Antares51> Not far away from where my dad is from.
[21:25] <RobertB> Or the Louisville Users Club of Kentucky.
[21:25] <Snogpitch> ya, PMs don't work from irc to/from Qlink
[21:25] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} didn't get a PM
[21:25] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} but I can give an email addy
[21:26] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} its a general one
[21:26] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} is that ok to do?  Dont want to go against any protocols
[21:26] <LordRonin> Here is mine as it is the official one for the u.g. contact lordronin@vcsweb.com
[21:27] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} thanks!
[21:27] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} got it.  Ill write a bit later
[21:27] <Snogpitch> Did anyone besides ShadowM take photos of ECCC?
[21:28] <Snogpitch> It's been two weeks and his are the only ones I have seen posted
[21:28] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Oregon State is beating Cal 20 to 14
[21:29] <Antares51> Kentucky beat LSU in triple overtime.
[21:29] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Yep!
[21:29] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Crazy, crazy football day
[21:29] <Antares51> Indeed.
[21:29] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Anyone here ever mess with Amiga Emulators?
[21:29] <LordRonin> And all I did today was work on stuff for CommodoreFree. Well and pet the shop kitty. {G}
[21:29] <Antares51> Me.
[21:30] <Antares51> UAE.
[21:30] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Im trying to figure out the 'hardfile' intricities
[21:30] <RobertB> I've seen Amiga emulators demoed on PCs.
[21:30] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Yep Im a UAE fan now too
[21:30] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} WinFellow is okay but UAE wins in my book
[21:31] <Antares51> Getting tired out. Niters all.
[21:31] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Last copy of CommodoreFree was interesting
[21:31] <RobertB> Bye, Antares.
[21:31] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Nite Antares!
[21:31] * Antares51 (~Richard_E@NewNet-641EFC4C.om.om.cox.net) has left #c64friends
[21:31] <LordRonin> RobertB there is supposed to an Amiga emulator for Linux. But we never got it to fire up 
  in the experiments.
[21:31] <smj> bal, sometimes when I connect to cottonwood I seem to get a bit rate mismatch
[21:31] <smj> then modem init strings will print on the screen 
[21:31] <RobertB> I have yet to read the last C= Free.
[21:31] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I didnt realize that SIDs will sound slightly different on different commodore 
  machines
[21:32] <smj> huskerfan, yes they can vary quite a bit
[21:32] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} thats interesting
[21:32] <LordRonin> Scanned it for a revie for the newsletter. Ther is a good letter from a guy named Lee 
  about the lack of help and other items for the just starting beginner. So Nigle and I are working out a 
  series of articles from the aspect of the How does it plug in level.
[21:33] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} cool
[21:33] <smj> sometimes replacing the filter capcitors can help
[21:34] <Snogpitch> Our club had a handout that came in the C64 box on how to plug everything in.
[21:34] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} help make commodores sound moe alike?
[21:34] <smj> the SID is basically an analog synthesizer with digital circuitry
[21:34] <smj> so, not ever sid is going to be the same, nor would a single sid chip sound the same in 
  multiple systems.
[21:34] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} seems like you could use the SID chip to create truly random numbers?
[21:35] <smj> from the noise? that is still pseudo random
[21:35] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahh
[21:35] <Hellion_1> Good night all.
[21:35] * Zapman (ZAPMAN@NewNet-517ED55B.nyc.ny.metconnect.net) Quit (Quit: )
[21:35] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Nite Hellion-1
[21:35] * Hellion_1 (~Hellion_1@NewNet-78D3D78A.unk.tds.net) Quit (Quit: )
[21:36] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} so the SID chip would still return the same random numbers each time it was 
  turned on?
[21:36] <smj> huskerfan, I think the capacitors in each system (part of the synthesizer filter) are really 
  what would give you the most noticible differences from machine to machine using the same SID chip
[21:36] <LordRonin> Snogpitch, yeah we too have a few of those cards. What I am working on is for the newbie 
  that has gained the C= 2nd-5th hand. PRobably with no manual. Doesn't even know that the computer is in the 
  keyboard. That level of beginner.
[21:36] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} makes sense...
[21:37] * rrCurtisP (~Curtis@NewNet-EE5D5360.neo.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends
[21:37] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Good to start from the beginning with some
[21:37] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} re rrCurtisP
[21:37] <rrCurtisP> hey
[21:38] <Snogpitch> Howdy rrCurtisP
[21:38] <LordRonin> Hoi rrCurtisP
[21:38] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Hmmm - in Qlink it would almost seem like a good idea to point the lobby to this 
  irc channel
[21:39] <LordRonin> Well HuskerFan, I see that sort of guy a lot in my shop. Not a clue as to the what and 
  how of the C=. I had the same problem to a lessor degree when I joined the users group. I remember one girl 
  that could only load the cart games. Didn't know how to operate her disk drive.
[21:39] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} there are usually very helpful people in here
[21:39] <smj> Have you heard of the SID station huskerfan?
[21:40] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Not sure; doesnt sound familiar
[21:40] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I remember a 6 year old girl show me how to play Lemmings once at an Amiga shop. 
   My love affair
[21:40] <smj> it basically is a box with some analog controls (potientiometers) and some software that allow 
  you to control the SID via MIDI in a more usable manner.
[21:40] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} with Amigas can be traced back to that day
[21:41] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} thats pretty cool smj
[21:41] <smj> In the 80s there were a quite a few 'synth' programs made for the C64, but I think the 
  sidstation basically brings out all of the feature that were locked in the sid.
[21:41] <smj> its a bit expensive, but then again making something cool usually is.
[21:41] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} indeed
[21:42] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} are these machines rare?
[21:42] * Dopple (~Dopple@NewNet-DC69D595.rochester.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends
[21:42] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Dopple
[21:42] <smj> They're recent... however, I believe one of the developers died in a car wreck recently
[21:42] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Dopple!
[21:42] <Snogpitch> Howdy Dopple
[21:42] <smj> I'm not sure if that would end the project or not
[21:42] <smj> probably not.
[21:42] <RobertB> Hi, Dopple.
[21:42] <LordRonin> Hoi Dopple
[21:43] <smj> ahh it is discontinued
[21:43] <smj> yeah people are gouging on Ebay for them :(
[21:43] <LordRonin> Never found a SID music thing for the 64 yet.
[21:43] <smj> $1000 :(*
[21:43] <RobertB> Boing!
[21:43] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Seems like everyting I want on eBay ends up being something I'll be gouged for
[21:43] <smj> I have a few LR.
[21:44] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I have some strange keyboard for the C64
[21:44] <Dopple> heya everyone
[21:44] <Dopple> wow, busy tonite
[21:44] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} fits over the top of the keyboard
[21:44] <smj> right, that is for the suzuki synth I believe.
[21:44] <smj> I have the software if you need it
[21:44] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I might; I;ll check
[21:44] <smj> it doesn't take advantage of all the routing possiblities
[21:44] <Dopple> watching shows we taped 
[21:44] <smj> for instance, I don't believe it can do RM.
[21:45] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahh
[21:45] <LordRonin> smj thanks, I need to know more about them. See so much tht was done in the SID 
  collections I have gained. But not a clue as to how they were made. Doubt they were done with all the poke 
  and peek stuff from the users manual {G}
[21:45] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} anyone have an ethernet card for their commie?
[21:45] <smj> in 1984 (I believe?) there was an article in RUN which was inspiring to me
[21:45] <smj> I made my own (crap) music program too
[21:45] <rrCurtisP> .MUS files are made with a specific program
[21:46] <smj> its lost on cassette somewhere and wasn't anything special
[21:46] <RobertB> I have the Palm ethernet cradle for the C=.
[21:46] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I think theres a way to get WinAmp to play SID files
[21:46] * Darren0_1a (~Darren@NewNet-511CD5B0.hsd1.md.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: OUCH!!!)
[21:46] <smj> the recent stuff is much better, which allows you to control things like the filter and other 
  parameters through the keyboard ports.
[21:46] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ic
[21:47] <smj> Basically you can wire up four potentiometers to the two keyboard ports which allow you to do 
  some realtime sid sound manipulation
[21:47] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I always play Christmas SIDs on our annual trip to Michigan
[21:47] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} on WinVice running a C64 emulator
[21:47] <Snogpitch> I listen to Christmas music yearround
[21:48] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} my wife doesnt care for them hehe
[21:48] <smj> I wanted to bring down my Dual SID SX64 to mossy con, but I didn't go :)
[21:48] <RobertB> There's next year, Steve, if LR is willing.
[21:48] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Snog - any reason why?
[21:48] <smj> I still need to finish my silly four pot box for it
[21:48] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Do you just enjoy Christmas music in general?
[21:48] <LordRonin> Yeah we missed you, and the con ran two days. I would have been asking all sorts of 
  questions to you about the SID work. {G} Well perhaps next year?
[21:49] <smj> and hopefully you won't be in the hospital rbt :)
[21:49] <Snogpitch> As a matter of fact, a customer came into work the other day trying to figure out how to 
  put music on their cellphone...
[21:49] * RobertB crosses fingers  :-)
[21:49] <LordRonin> Willing and aw bit better ready I hope. Reminds me to check out the library for that room 
  we talked about RObert.
[21:49] <smj> Sure LR .. I gotta meet the dungeon master.
[21:49] <Snogpitch> I put a collection of Christmas songs on it for her :)
[21:49] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Christmas time is cool
[21:49] <RobertB> Oooo, a library room!
[21:50] <smj> huskerfan, here is a peek at my SX64 with two SID chips
[21:50] <smj> http://sdf.lonestar.org/curiosity/sx64/
[21:50] <Snogpitch> She thought that was cool, alright!
[21:50] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I play the same disk year after year - I think its a Qlink holiday disk
[21:50] <LordRonin> Shhh don't say that too loud smj. Got a game sometime around 8 tonight. They may come 
  early and drag me away from the computer.
[21:50] <smj> hah
[21:50] <Snogpitch> HuskerFan, have you heard the Twisted Christmas collection for the C64?
[21:51] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} no I havent
[21:51] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} sounds interesting!
[21:51] <smj> the Prophet64 is a cartridge which basically contains software and a sequencer to control up to 
  two SIDs.
[21:51] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Ive heard of the Prophet64
[21:51] <Snogpitch> That will drive the wife nuts, if the others did 
[21:51] <smj> so you get 6 wave forms, two noise generators
[21:51] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} wasnt it displayed at a show?  I saw a pic
[21:51] <smj> I believe I was the first person to get it working in an SX64, but it really didn't take too 
  much work
[21:52] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I love to drive the wife nuts hehe
[21:52] <smj> The whole thing was less than $150 to do ..
[21:52] <LordRonin> smj just don't bring any C= or Amiga stuff. The temptation to relieve it from you would 
  be too great for my addiction to C= {LOL}
[21:52] <smj> which is why I'm sort of bummed about the SidStation bringing in $1k %-)
[21:53] <smj> rbt gave me a great deal on this sx64
[21:53] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I need to get an ethrnet card of some kind
[21:53] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I want to try to read news on the Internet on my C128
[21:53] <smj> There is one :)
[21:54] <RobertB> BRB.
[21:54] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Are they available?
[21:54] <smj> I believe the sidstation only has 1 SID .. so, I'd say sidstation != sx64 w/ sid2sid 
[21:54] <smj> yeah let me get a link
[21:54] <smj> rr-net I think
[21:55] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} retro replay?
[21:55] <smj> wait .. I'm wrong
[21:55] <smj> wait.. thats right.. the RR with the RRnet
[21:56] <smj> but there might be other options
[21:56] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} k
[21:56] <smj> this might be an option
[21:56] <smj> http://www.dunkels.com/adam/tfe/
[21:56] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I'll have to research the situation
[21:56] <smj> a cartridge for the C64.
[21:57] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} got it
[21:57] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} thanks!
[21:57] <Snogpitch> http://cbmfiles.com/genie/geniefiles/DigitalSounds/TWISTED-XMAS-88
[21:57] <smj> that info is dated though.. hmm
[21:57] <smj> at least it has schematics
[21:57] <Snogpitch> http://cbmfiles.com/genie/geniefiles/DigitalSounds/TWISTED-XMAS-2
[21:58] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} hmm when I go there I get a bunch of characters
[21:59] <Snogpitch> You need to download that to a C= disk
[21:59] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} ahh ok
[22:00] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Can I use a d64 editor to write it?
[22:00] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I can create a d64 image, then write that to a disk?
[22:01] <Snogpitch> never tried it, so I don't know
[22:01] <Snogpitch> should be able to write it to a d64 I would think
[22:01] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} I'll toy with it and see what happens
[22:01] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} got to run for now; I may pop in later
[22:01] <Q-Link> {HuskerFan} Have a great night all!

[22:02] <LordRonin> Snogpitch, forgot to mention that Charles will be getting a disk of doodle and koala art 
  that I grabbed with the supersnapshot. Give him some ideas and play things.
[22:03] <smj> it must have taken the Exeter guys at least 2 years if not 3 to finish this episode :)
[22:04] <Snogpitch> ya, seems like it's taking that long, smj
[22:04] <smj> wow, they got act 3 up, but not the tag/end credits?
[22:04] <Snogpitch> ya, I just noticed act 3 up this past weekend
[22:05] <Snogpitch> didn't watch it until today
[22:05] <RobertB> I'm back.
[22:06] <LordRonin> wb Robert
[22:06] <RobertB> Right, Steve.
[22:07] <LordRonin> Robert, have you seen the newsletter from Lenard yet?
[22:07] <smj> I believe I'm supposed to be listed as 'associate producer' which is why I went for the credit 
  s;-)
[22:07] <RobertB> Whicn newsletter, LR.
[22:07] <RobertB> ?
[22:07] <LordRonin> The ones from his Kansas City group. Mine arrived today.
[22:08] <smj> they sent me 3 tshirts and two packs of playing cards for my donation
[22:08] <RobertB> No, LR.
[22:08] <RobertB> Hey, I didn't get any t-shirts (or at least, I don't remember that).  But I did get the 
  cards.
[22:09] <smj> :)
[22:09] <LordRonin> Ah, well he uses that envelope addressor prg that is set for the window envelopes. At 
  least that is what he sent to me. Did a fast read, he needs to talk to you about some sort of demo thing he 
  missed out on at the convention. IIRC it is somethig that you were doing. Says he will contact you about it 
  in the newsletter.
[22:09] <smj> this 'latest' episode is really a huge step above from their first episode.
[22:09] <RobertB> Yes, it is, Steve.
[22:11] <smj> I like it much better than the new voyages.
[22:11] <RobertB> Me, too.
[22:11] <smj> :)
[22:12] <smj> I think they have a better direction .. the new voyages is .. just .. difficult to watch.
[22:12] <smj> I prefer new characters.
[22:13] <Snogpitch> Did you see the latest New Voyages with Sulu?
[22:13] <RobertB> Same feeling here, Steve.
[22:14] <smj> I asked him about it when I met him, but he seemed unsure it would be released.  What is sort 
  of funny is that the series that has the celebrities isn't as interesting as the one that doesn't bank on 
  that :)
[22:14] <smj> Maybe new voyages has a grant or deep pockets 
[22:14] <RobertB> Deep pockets, Steve.
[22:14] <Snogpitch> They have a group of students doing the special effects...

[22:17] <smj> thanks snogger
[22:17] <LordRonin> Hoi FireflyST
[22:17] <Snogpitch> World Enough and Time wasn't too bad of an episode...
[22:18] <Snogpitch> especially if you like seeing Sulu in the command chair
[22:18] <Snogpitch> and Yeoman Rand at his side
[22:18] <smj> :)
[22:19] <smj> in the mig.
[22:19] <smj> wig
[22:19] <RobertB> Have you been keeping up with what's happening on ST XI.
[22:19] <RobertB> ?
[22:19] <Snogpitch> not at all, RobertB
[22:19] <RobertB> I check every day.
[22:20] <Q-Link> Left QRoom: MikeAZ1
[22:20] <Snogpitch> The last bit of news I looked at was the Menagerie coming to theaters in November
[22:21] <smj> I got my tickets :)
[22:21] <Snogpitch> I'd love to go, but Cincinnati isn't one of the towns it's going to be shown
[22:21] <smj> I'd love to roll up in a black wheel chair with a flashing YES/NO light for htat.
[22:21] * beeman (~Javauser@NewNet-5A69352D.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Broken pipe)
[22:22] <smj> but besides actually coming up with a convincing costume and make up I don't think I could hold 
  the character for the duration of the film.
[22:22] * Stephan (~not@NewNet-7FE4224B.nc.res.rr.com) Quit (Client exited)
[22:22] <smj> I wonder if they'd give me the wheel chair seating?
[22:23] <smj> and if I could possibly syncronize with each 'YES' and 'NO' on screen ..
[22:23] <smj> and hold the pose without drooling on myself.
[22:23] <Snogpitch> If you were in a wheel chair, I'm sure they'd let you in that area
[22:23] <RobertB> That's going too far, Steve!  ;-)
[22:23] <LordRonin> and the Red Dwarf fan feels out of place.
[22:24] <smj> well, I'm sure there will be plenty of star fleet officers and klingons there.
[22:24] <LordRonin> Even though Patrick Steward is a Red Dwarf fan, s is Stephen Hawkings
[22:24] <RobertB> Yes, I expect the Int'l. Fed. of Trekkers to be at my movie house.
[22:24] <RobertB> Fresno branch.
[22:24] <Snogpitch> Ya, at Undiscovered Country, the local Star Trek group showed up in uniforms/costumes
[22:24] <LordRonin> smj if that is in the seattle area. My Klingon friends and group will probably be there.
[22:25] <smj> the theatre is at the bottom of a hill, so I imagined losing control of the black wheel chair 
  and speedily gliding past the cinema blinking / buzzing 'NO NO NO NO' all the way down.
[22:25] <LordRonin> They are in Portland and Seattle.
[22:25] <Snogpitch> ;p
[22:25] <smj> I'd probably hit a manure truck
[22:25] <smj> oh wrong movie
[22:25] <LordRonin> soft landing t hough
[22:26] <RobertB> But your wheelchair has to be motorized and streamlined like the original, Steve.
[22:26] <smj> of course.. I'd do it right if I could

[22:29] <LordRonin> Hoi Bryan
[22:29] <smj> ST:NV is way too difficult to watch.
[22:30] <Snogpitch> I downloaded it then watched it full screen
[22:30] <smj> you can't impress me with your cool computer generated graphcis :)
[22:30] <Bryan> LordRonin> hey!  hopefully u got my ACUG dues..
[22:31] <LordRonin> Got the msg from paypal. You are secure in the knowledge that you will be receiving the 
  drivel sheet of the group for at lest another yesr {SEG}
[22:31] <Bryan> Yay!
[22:32] <LordRonin> Sick, sick art thou. {G}
[22:32] <Bryan> I know.. I try to do my best.. ;)
[22:32] <LordRonin> Just wait Bryan, there was some good info on the COPS list that might fix the optra 
  problem. Then the supreme torment begins. Booklets of 20 pages of drivel.
[22:32] <smj> I don't like it when old characters patronize the audience :)
[22:33] <Bryan> how about daisy wheel characters?
[22:33] <smj> don't strike my platten that way.
[22:33] <LordRonin> Have I got a deal for you. A nice CBM Daisy Wheel printer. All yours just for the asking. 
  Though it does weigh as much as a small planetoid.
[22:34] <RobertB> How about Chinese or Japanese characters?  ;-)
[22:34] <Caricon> I had one of those before, many years ago.
[22:34] <RobertB> Katakana?
[22:34] <Caricon> Hmoob
[22:34] <smj> poor exeter
[22:35] <LordRonin> They have come for me. Must run the game now. See you next week.

[22:37] <weirdwolf> Doh!
[22:37] <weirdwolf> Was hoping to catch him
[22:37] <RobertB> Hi, Jeremy.
[22:38] <weirdwolf> Hello Robert
[22:38] <Bryan> Gods on the Amiga *rocked* .. :D
[22:38] <Snogpitch> missed him by this much
[22:38] <weirdwolf> yeah, I know I was cutting it close but I could help it. Can't drive and city bus was 
  late.
[22:39] <Snogpitch> maybe next weekend you'll catch him
[22:39] <weirdwolf> Any thing interesting I miss?
[22:39] <weirdwolf> Yeah..
[22:39] <Snogpitch> Mostly Star Trek talk tonight
[22:39] <Bryan> i was promoted to a *god* ;)
[22:39] <weirdwolf> I had any idea for e-mail to catch him on but I just missed him
[22:40] <weirdwolf> Bryan: Your vice lord and chancellor of the vaporware collection
[22:40] <Bryan> mu ha ha ha ha 
[22:40] <weirdwolf> So any other things going on?
[22:40] <Bryan> !
[22:40] <weirdwolf> Than Bryan playing God's of the Amiga in the background?
[22:41] <Bryan> i just got here, so I cant tell u
[22:41] <Bryan> kind of.. 
[22:41] <Bryan> Gods was just playing on slayradio
[22:41] <Snogpitch> well, haven't heard the official introduction to D64_Fserv yet?
[22:41] <Q-Link> Entered QRoom: King Sammy
[22:42] <weirdwolf> Snogpitch: there has been two file serve bots in the channel over the past couple days.
[22:42] <Snogpitch> Howdy King Sammy
[22:42] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Yo.
[22:42] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} How y'all?
[22:42] <Snogpitch> what was the other one, weirdwolf?
[22:42] <weirdwolf> Either I have all the stuff on them or have access to it in back channels
[22:42] <weirdwolf> CBM Files It was called.
[22:43] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} 31 people showing in the room.
[22:43] <Snogpitch> ya, 2 on qlink tho :/
[22:43] <Bryan> Sammy Lightfoot?
[22:44] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} No, Sammy King.
[22:44] <Bryan> never heard of that game
[22:45] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} I've only heard of Sammy Lightfoot (the game) just last week.
[22:45] <weirdwolf> :-) Not enough people in q-link?
[22:45] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Snog, do you mean 2 are on via qlink?
[22:45] <Bryan> http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=2212
[22:45] <Snogpitch> Yes, that's right King Sammy
[22:46] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Hey, I like to fire up this Commodore equipment.
[22:46] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Thanks for the link, Bryan.
[22:46] <Bryan> C= forever! :D :)
[22:47] <weirdwolf> Isn't that a website/
[22:47] <weirdwolf> C= Forever/
[22:47] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Or at least as long as the old bricks last.
[22:47] <RobertB> Hey, Bryan, I'm reconsidering my decision not to exhibit anything at VCF X.
[22:47] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Haven't seen any C= equipment at thrift stores lately.
[22:48] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Exhibit, exhibit.
[22:49] <Bryan> RobertB> Show off the C= stuff!! (of course there is supposed to be the Parallel C64 there)
[22:49] <weirdwolf> Sammy: check E-bay.
[22:49] <RobertB> I was thinking of bringing in the PET 4032 and 4040 disk drive.
[22:49] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} I browse weekly - haven't gone for anything in a while.
[22:49] <Bryan> Space Invaders! :)
[22:50] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Did make a bad purchase on Vesalia, though.
[22:50] <RobertB> What was it, King?
[22:50] <Q-Link> {Snogpitch} Time for the 64C to mosey along...
[22:50] <Q-Link> Left QRoom: Snogpitch
[22:51] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} I purchased a Retro Replay, RR Net, and cartridge - but they only sent the RR 
  Net.
[22:51] <RobertB> So what did you do?
[22:51] <Bryan> email them?
[22:52] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} I pointed out their false advertising.  They said nothing they could do - and 
  promptly changed
[22:52] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} their web page.  Liars.
[22:52] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} Do NOT buy from Vesalia.

[22:55] <dragos> red, hows the hardware search going?
[22:55] <redrumloa> Hit a snag
[22:56] <Q-Link> {King Sammy} They said they'd refund me - but won't get reimbursed for expensive shipping 
  and insurance.
[22:56] <Bryan> is anyone reverse engineering the SuperCPU?
[22:56] <redrumloa> Right after I posted that to c.s.c, I went into the hospital for a week
[22:56] <dragos> ****!!
[22:56] <RobertB> Not currently, Bryan.
[22:56] <redrumloa> Kind of iced it :-/
[22:56] <redrumloa> I will probably resume the search later this year
