[20:58] * jppbm thinks Snogpitch is scared of Strong Canuck Dollars...
[20:59] <Snogpitch> I've got alot of stuff to do with my dad passing away last 
  month...my living room still looks like a warehouse
[20:59] <Caricon> Snog, sorry to hear about... :(
[20:59] <jppbm> get a freebe table...
[20:59] <Snogpitch> This is the first time I've sat at my computer desk in 4 weeks or 
  so, finally got a path cleared to it
[20:59] <iViper> my  whole house looks like a warehouse.  I've got a lot of unpacking to 
  do.
[21:00] <jppbm> yeah...we missed you last week...
[21:00] <BeeMan> Snogpitch, do you had to have a pass port to go there now
[21:00] <iViper> and sorry to hear about your dad snog
[21:00] <Antares51> One A4000 battery removed. One CD-ROM installed. Yippee!
[21:00] <Snogpitch> not sure about the passport issue, I don't have one tho.....
[21:01] <jppbm> No passports yet....only if you fly or float back home
[21:01] <Caricon> Didn't think you need one till the first of the year.
[21:01] <jppbm> car or rail is fine till January
[21:02] <Caricon> Is there a train that goes there?
[21:02] <Snogpitch> Official date for C=4 2008 is set, if you want to announce it at WOC
[21:03] <jppbm> Gut us a huge terminal and everything....No more steam trains though...
[21:03] <jppbm> Yes, Torontos a major hub for rail
[21:04] <Caricon> I mean like Amtrak or something go there?
[21:04] <PhotoJim> I think Amtrak goes to Toronto
[21:04] <jppbm> Air too....If you not the air sick type!
[21:04] <PhotoJim> if not, you can probably connect in Detroit

[21:11] <Darren0_1a> Hello

[21:11] <jppbm> I want the SID chips!
[21:11] <golan> All used. Spare parts galore.
[21:11] <Masher> Hi Joe!
[21:11] <Snogpitch> ok, just making sure you didn't find a new motherlode of parts :)
[21:11] <jppbm> read your mail masher!
[21:12] <golan> Also VIC-20 cartridges, misc. 64 cartridges and disk boxes. A *lot* of 
  disk boxes.
[21:12] <Masher> Guess we're talking about World of Commodore :)
[21:12] <jppbm> You coming to WOC2007?
[21:12] <golan> Joysticks too. I'm bringing pretty much everything in my storage locker 
  and it isn't coming back with me if I can avoid it.
[21:13] <Caricon> $412 for me and Lora to take the train round trip
[21:13] <jppbm> I hear that guy with the 1581 kits will be there!
[21:13] <Schema> I had a box of stuff ready for the freebie table too, but golan took it!
[21:13] <Masher> You coming by train Caricon?

[21:14] <Caricon> 12 hr by train, but expect more.. wife has rode the train a few times.
[21:14] <Snogpitch> hmmm, doesn't sound bad..
[21:14] <golan> That's a bit of a haul.
[21:14] <Snogpitch> I tried to book a train ride to Atlantic City, and it would take me 
  3 days to get there.
[21:14] <Masher> Nice, I like train trips.
[21:14] <Snogpitch> I said forget that!
[21:15] <ShadowM> I thought about taking the train, but it was too long and too many 
  stops.
[21:15] * Moloch (~moloch@arkanixlabs.com) Quit (Quit: There was in their city a bronze 
statue of Moloch extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that 
each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit 
filled with fire.)
[21:15] <jppbm> 12-13Hrs is our drive to Chicago...
[21:16] <Snogpitch> I expected it to be maybe a day at most with connecting stops

[21:17] <Hellion_1> Really, our trip to the Stay Inn Suites looks like it will take 
  about 10 hours.  I will be at WOC 2007.
[21:17] <Snogpitch> Make sure you bring back all the freebie stuff, Hellion_1 :)
[21:18] <Caricon> It's 10 hr drive, but there is a train chain in NY.
[21:18] <Hellion_1> Dragos will probably be taking all of the car space.
[21:18] <Antares51> I'm calling it a day. Niters all.
[21:18] <Hellion_1> Good night.
[21:19] <ShadowM> b'bye

[21:19] <golan> Dragos is going to need a lot of room. You should see all the stuff I 
  have set aside for him.
[21:20] <Hellion_1> I have heard.
[21:20] <Snogpitch> Do you have a PromQueen for a Vic20 in the freebie pile?
[21:21] <Snogpitch> Looking for the program that comes with it...
[21:22] <jppbm> Hellion, Have you sent TPUG a registration....?  www.tpug.ca/woc
[21:22] <Hellion_1> yes.

[21:24] * Hellion_1 tells Golan, "Just say no..."
[21:24] <Hellion_1> ;)
[21:24] <ShadowM> you don't want that, it's not C=
[21:24] <golan> Facebook is evil, m'kay.
[21:24] <golan> I suppose I could put it in the basement beside the CoCo 3 and Atari ST 
  stuff. 
[21:25] <jppbm> Lief, I can't see face  book stuff....Copy and past it in an email to 
  me...
[21:25] <Snogpitch> I remember seeing a IIGS at Goodwill not to long ago...
[21:25] <Snogpitch> don't remember how much they are asking for it tho
[21:26] <Schema> I've become a facebook addict.  I feel like I'm 14 again.
[21:26] <Hellion_1> One of the guys I went to Highschool with ran a BBS on a Apple IIGS.

[21:44] <LordRonin> Hoi jppbm
[21:45] <Masher> Hellion_1: The hotel has been doing this lately. It's because they 
  don't have TPUG in their computer.

  week-end.

[22:12] <smj> yes.. a little EIRE
[22:13] <smj> hah
[22:13] <smj> I didn't think about that, but you're right.

[22:23] <LordRonin> Golan just lookwed at that list. Hmm, I guess I should raise my 
  prices then.
[22:24] <golan> How are you, LR?
[22:24] <Schema> It would be great if you could have an IDE64 and Super Snapshot plugged 
  in at the same time, and then quickly switch between them
[22:26] <LordRonin> Just the mild green one Robert. I'm still hunting for a good chicken 
  or beef vindaloo recipe. Bangladore Curry beef is next month. 5tbs of curry in the 
  recipe.
[22:26] <Snogpitch> or have them both running at the same time
[22:27] <golan> Schema: I believe you can...
[22:27] <RobertB> Ooo, vindaloo... too hot.  :-)
[22:27] <Schema> Snog, don't think that's possible
[22:27] <LordRonin> golan sober and waiting for the next pot of coffee. Mind still stuck

[22:30] <Hellion_1> Golan:  Sounds good!!!
[22:30] <LordRonin> OK no vindaloo for MosyCon4. Still haven't found a good recipe yet 
  anyway. 
[22:31] <Snogpitch> what is vindaloo?
[22:31] <LordRonin> 10 X = 9
[22:31] <Schema> vindaloo is yummy
[22:31] <golan> Imagine the yummiest thing you've ever eaten. Then double it.
[22:31] <Snogpitch> brownies?
[22:31] <LordRonin> And increase the warmth a few factors
[22:31] <Schema> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindaloo
[22:32] <golan> Indian food is great. Pakistani is even better. Those folks know how to 
  eat.
[22:32] <golan> If I moved to that part of the world I would be 400lbs within a year.
[22:34] <RobertB> Just a korma or a tikki masala for me, please.  :-)
[22:34] <Hellion_1> You are gonna have some vindaloo at WOC right?  :)  It sounds 
  awesome.
[22:34] <jppbm> a big target...
[22:35] <golan> If you guys like Indian, we should go for dinner on Friday night or 
  Sunday or something. I know lots of great places.
[22:35] <Hellion_1> I haven't had a whole lot of Indian food, but I do like hot stuff.
[22:36] <PhotoJim> Indian food isn't necessarily hot, but southern Indian food is.
[22:36] <PhotoJim> vindaloo is very, very hot.
[22:36] <PhotoJim> stupid hot. :)
[22:36] <Hellion_1> As long as it is good...
[22:37] <PhotoJim> if you like really hot food, you'll probably like it
[22:37] <PhotoJim> vindaloo is about the only Indian food I don't like
[22:38] <RobertB> Well, I shouldn't be talking about so much food... too much food 
  yesterday and now today.
[22:38] <Snogpitch> I like garlic, but I don't care for hot/spicy food
[22:38] <bogax> Indian food? you can have it, I saw "Temple of Doom"
[22:38] <PhotoJim> butter chicken... yum yum
[22:38] <PhotoJim> spicy but not at all hot
[22:38] <weirdwolf> hehe I love Indian food.
[22:39] <PhotoJim> rich spicy...
[22:39] <weirdwolf> Get too fat on that stuff as someone suggested
[22:39] <LordRonin> Schema thanks, just bookmarked the chicken recipe. Looks hot. None 
  for Robert at MC4
[22:39] <jppbm> robert that dvd has not arrived yet...?
[22:40] <RobertB> Thanks, LR.
[22:40] <RobertB> Joe, I mailed it some time ago.
[22:40] <golan> I am going off my diet come next Friday and back on come Monday. I am 
  going to eat like a pig over that weekend. :)
[22:40] <golan> I dropped 30lbs, I figure I earned a little excess.
[22:40] <Dragos-linux> any good thai around toronto golan??
[22:40] <RobertB> Priority Mail in the states is supposed to be fast, but when it 
  crosses the border to Canada, who knows?
[22:40] <PhotoJim> I dropped 30 pounds once.  luckily it missed my toes.
[22:41] <Schema> lol
[22:41] <RobertB> Rimshot!
[22:41] <PhotoJim> :)
[22:41] <golan> Dragos: Lots of very good Thai.
[22:41] <weirdwolf> Nice one PJim
[22:42] <golan> Toronto is remarkably diverse when it comes to ethnicity. We've got 
  every kind of yummy on Earth.
[22:42] <Dragos-linux> we gotta get some thai
[22:42] <Dragos-linux> yellow curry is the ****
[22:42] <PhotoJim> there is great Indian on 2 block Queen West in Toronto.  two places 
  next door to one another, and another across the street.
[22:42] <golan> I heard that inside every fat person there is a skinny person. I know 
  that's true in my case because I got really hungry once and ate a skinny guy.
[22:43] <golan> PhotoJim: Trimurti on Queen is excellent as is Babur.
[22:43] <jppbm> ok robert i will keep watching
[22:43] <PhotoJim> golan: are those the ones I'm thinking of?  or are they on a 
  different part of Queen?
[22:44] <RobertB> O.K., Joe.  Last Tuesday I sent a DVD of Jim B. to Ian Matthews of 
  commodore.ca, too.
[22:44] <golan> Those are both on Queen west of University right where you described.
[22:44] <RobertB> I sent that one via first class mail (will it take even longer?!).
[22:45] <golan> Should I bring Jim Butterfield's Programmer's Diary to the WoC?
[22:45] <golan> It's sort of depressing.
[22:45] <PhotoJim> golan: those are probably two of the three then.  I forget the names, 
  alas. :)
[22:45] <RobertB> Worse case scenario, Joe.  I could mail a copy to a U.S. attendee who 
  will be going to WoC?  He/she will bring it along.
[22:46] <Hellion_1> Good evening all.  The Original Star Trek came on featuring the 
  introduction of Kahn.
[22:46] <PhotoJim> US mail gets to/from Toronto quite fast.  I mailed a letter to 
  Seattle from Toronto last year and it only took 2 days to get to Seattle.  it takes 
  that long, or even longer, to get a letter to my home of Regina from Toronto.

[22:49] <RobertB> Yup, saw that episode again a few hours ago (yeah, it's remastered 
  with the 2007 special effects).
[22:49] <RobertB> Ah-ha, Glenn.  I could mail you the DVD and then you can give it to 
  those at WoC.
[22:49] <ShadowM> If you like, sure.
[22:50] <weirdwolf> Hey ShadowM
[22:50] <RobertB> Just give me your mailing address in a private message.
[22:50] <ShadowM> I could have one of those attache cases handcuffed to my wrist.

[22:51] <RobertB> With a smoke bomb and gold sovereigns.  ;-)
[22:53] <RobertB> Even if the DVD comes in time for you, Joe, Glenn will have an extra

[22:55] <LordRonin> golan Ihave 8 notchers left, in original boxes in the shop for sale. 
  Can't remember what the price is at the moment. Been some time. Strange  ones that 
  have slots on one side to hold extra disks. Easiest on the hands to use out of the 4 
  that I use.
[22:55] <ShadowM> oh, hi weirdwolf, didn't see you there
[22:56] <ShadowM> have you tried the new opencbm Linux release?
[22:56] <RobertB> I paid the U.S. Postal Service the big $9 for Priority Mail to Joe.  
  Looks as if that $9 didn't buy me speed of delivery.
[23:00] <Stephan> Depends on the carrier
[23:01] <weirdwolf> ShadowM: no, I kinda busy with a move and several other issues atm
[23:01] <weirdwolf> Have not had time to play with it.

[23:30] <RobertB> Hi, Steve.  What did you get?
[23:30] <smj> bunny supplies :)
[23:31] <RobertB> Ah, what type of bunny?
[23:31] <smj> the one on those records.
[23:31] <RobertB> Uh, I can't remember.
[23:32] <smj> you got my records, right?
[23:32] <smj> there is a close up of a rabbit on the cover.
[23:32] <RobertB> Yes, but what type of bunny is that?
[23:33] <smj> Oh sorry, its a dwarf holland lop.  A mix of a netherland dwarf and an 
  english lop.
[23:33] <RobertB> There you go.
[23:33] <smj> on this dual SID sx64 I found something a bit odd on the audio its putting 
  out
[23:34] <RobertB> My sister has a bunny, too.  Found it a local park but it was 
  domesticated already
[23:34] <RobertB> Odd?  How so?
[23:34] <Dopple> I should stereo sidify my SX. 
[23:34] <smj> basically the audio coming out has negative peaks.
[23:34] <Dopple> someone reverse the polarity?
[23:34] <RobertB> Boing!  Negative peaks?  Would that mean no sound at those peaks?
[23:35] <Dopple> negative peak is a flat.... hehehe
[23:35] <smj> eeek.. let me make an image :)
[23:35] <smj> right, its not that.
[23:36] <smj> give me about 5 minutes.
[23:36] <smj> ahh I got it.
[23:37] <smj> I'll upload the audio example so you can hear it as well as see what it 
  looks like
[23:38] <smj> tiff OK? or jpg?
[23:38] <RobertB> Either.
[23:38] <smj> OK, uploading
[23:41] <Dopple> heh, william shatner hocking WoW.
[23:41] <Dopple> what a downgrade from selling vic 20's
[23:42] <smj> hah
[23:42] <smj> rbt, we tried to get a gig on Second Life (as if I ever played it)
[23:42] <smj> we were rejected. ;-)
[23:42] <RobertB> He also advertised PETs.
[23:44] <smj> http://sdf1.org/curiosity/sx64/sx64-output.jpg
[23:44] <RobertB> Dec. 9-10 I will be in the Los Angeles area, meeting up with C= users 
  and on Sunday, attending the Jules Verne Film Festival with special honoree, William 
  Shatner.
[23:44] <smj> http://sdf1.org/curiosity/sx64/monosynth.mp3
[23:44] <smj> that is what the output looks like, and then what it sounds like
[23:44] <RobertB> Unknown whether I can make it to the chat on that weekend.
[23:44] <Snogpitch> What is the Jules Verne Film Fest?
[23:45] <Snogpitch> all Verne, all the time?
[23:45] <Dopple> i see... the bias of the output is towards the negative side... 
[23:45] <smj> oh sorry, its 'monodemo.mp3' not 'monosynth.mp3'
[23:45] <smj> exactly, that is what I mean.. the bias.
[23:45] <RobertB> Well, it deals with sci-fi and fantasy.
[23:45] <smj> that is the output of both SIDs btw.
[23:45] <smj> one sid per channel
[23:46] <smj> I'm using a stereo 3.5mm jack which I installed on the back of the SX64 
  chassis.
[23:46] <smj> I'd have to open it up, but I believe I used the same ground with the 
  leads going to the L/R tips
[23:47] <smj> it sounds OK, I'm just wondering if I have it wired up wrong.
[23:47] <smj> or if its just what I'm going to see from the SID2SID
[23:47] <RobertB> Just go to http://www.julesvernefestival.com , Snog.
[23:47] <Dopple> as I look at it, it seems like something is clipping the max + voltage
[23:48] <Dopple> not being identical is pretty common, too
[23:48] <smj> the changes in the sound are all done using the knobby pot box.
[23:48] <smj> yeah, one is definitely quieter.
[23:48] <smj> the filters are really not matched at all.
[23:49] <smj> I tried replacing the capacitors, which actually improved the sound quite 
  a bit.
[23:49] <Dopple> the sid chip stacked on top in both my 128 and 64c both have a less 
  muted sound... more treble.
[23:49] <smj> but again, these are 6581s :)
[23:49] <Dopple> yea, all of mine are 6581's
[23:50] <Dopple> my 64c has a 1984 board in it
[23:50] <Dopple> But I did my own homebrew dual sid setup
[23:50] <smj> I think the setup is usable as it stands, just wondering if there is 
  something simple I've over looked.
[23:50] <Dopple> well, my dad helped me with the first one 15 years ago
[23:50] <smj> yeah the stacking trick.

[23:56] <Wildstar> I don't see Professor Dredd?
[23:56] <Wildstar> Hello Snog
[23:56] <Dopple> well, the output sounds fine... definately more "bright" on the right channel, just like all 
  of mine (and yea, i replaced the capacitors)
[23:56] <Wildstar> what's been happenin'?
[23:57] <smj> yeah, its also quite a bit louder too.
[23:57] <Dopple> yea, i think the original parts on the 64/128/sx/etc are just "old" and maybe replacing them 
  with "new" parts would brighten up the other channel... 
[23:58] <Dopple> ya know, the caps, transistor, resistors, etc
[23:58] <smj> right, that is basically the plan.
[23:58] <Dopple> make sure you use big 1 watt resistors!!!  gotta make it look like a hack job... ;)
[23:59] <smj> hah.
[23:59] <Dopple> I mean, if huge muffler tips make cars faster.... why not.
