Log from #neuros IRC channel

right now i'm just trying to make a local mirror of my neuros so that i can replace most of it with my new q6 oggs without deleting anything i can't replace

[02:28]

i'll probably have to go do it in windows though and xfer to linux because i can't really even browse the filesystem from linux, it's inordinately slow

[02:28]

now i've had the volume unmounted for 3 minutes and the unit is still working on letting me unplug it

[02:40]

heheh - linux buffers a lot, doesn't it :)

[02:41]

<noiz>

hey Yono

[02:41]

<Yono>

hey noiz

[02:41]

<Yono>

could u do me a favor?

[02:42]

<noiz>

what kind of favor, im not going to kill anyone or something like that...

[02:42]

<Yono>

my computer has been running laggy today, so I'm running all kinds of diagnostics on it

[02:42]

<Yono>

would you mind doing a google search on color oled for me?

[02:43]

<Yono>

I want to know if such a thing exists

[02:43]

<DeepB>

yes, it exists

[02:45]

<DeepB>

i.e, the new Sony Cli� has those

[02:45]

<Yono>

clie?

[02:46]

<Yono>

those are being cut from production soon

[02:46]

<Yono>

stupid sony

[02:46]

<noiz>

Yono: maybe you should try a "linux" diagnostic on your computer ;)

[02:47]

<Yono>

hmm, is there anything like that from commandline?

[02:47]

<Yono>

I like cygwin :)

[02:47]

<ivel>

format C: /f

[02:47]

<Yono>

touching the gold without a commitment

[02:47]

<Yono>

hi ivel

[02:47]

<Yono>

I got konqueror running!

[02:48]

<ivel>

yo....off to bed....not feeling well

[02:48]

<ivel>

laters all

[02:48]

<ivel>

i'm sick...and the g/f is sick too! :(

[02:48]

<ivel>

night all

[02:48]

<Yono>

later

[02:49]

<noiz>

later

[03:01]

argh - this isn't going to work (my speakers, I mean)

[03:19]

man it seems like my neuros slaughters its battery.

[03:29]

mine, too :(

[03:30]

woohoo - fixed my speakers

[03:32]

seems like I have to recharge it all the time

[03:32]

I get about a day or 2 out of my batt

[03:33]

but I only use it <2 hrs a day

[03:33]

N1, also

[03:34]

I think there's room enuf in the HD backpack to fit a _slightly_ larger, higher capacity battery

[03:34]

I think I heard someone say they put a higher maH batt in their N

[03:35]

that would be cool

[03:36]

it probably doesn't help that my mp3s are a high bitrate and I have customized eq.

[03:37]

high bitrate does hurt, I think, yeah

[03:37]

yeah I use the --standard option w/ lame

[03:37]

that puts out like 192-256kbps VBR

[03:38]

mine avg about 160 - 170 vbr

[03:39]

if I dont stop dropping my neuros I'm gonna be in real trouble

[03:41]

heheh

[03:46]

I wish I could find a neuros backup w/ a bad HDD and put one of those fancy CF card readers in it

[03:46]

backup == backpack

[03:54]

I find it simple to recharge the thing every night

[03:54]

I never see less than 2 bars (in the standard batt display)

[03:55]

yeah, thats what I should do

[03:55]

anyone know how many charge cycles the batt. can go through?

[03:58]

nope. $5 for a batt replacement is cheap enough for me to not worry about it.

[03:58]

or $15, or whatever it was

[04:00]

its that cheap?

[04:05]

You can look for it on the neurosaudio website

[04:06]

they sell it?

[04:06]

or in the forums?

[04:08]

about 1000 cycles for li-Ion bat

[04:08]

but some can be as low as 500. :(

[04:08]

li-ion has lowest charge/discharge cycles of any bat type

hmm

So, 1.5-3 years

prolly

I wish the neuros had a docking station like you can buy for the ipod

[04:14]

that would be so nice

[04:16]

Somebody in here made a N-holder for their car.. ask them to build you a dock. :)

[04:16]

lol

[05:51]

Starkey: Any news on FLAC? (Noticed "Complete FLAC support going in to NDBM CVS)

[08:10]

[08:11]

Xchat-Aqua opens 2 connections, wierd.

[08:12]

<[Chameleon]>

calling home?

[08:12]

erm, no. I'm at home.

[08:13]

<[Chameleon]>

I mean, the Aqua is probably calling home.

[08:13]

hmm. perhaps.

[08:13]

might be something to do with the autoconnect.

[08:15]

<[Chameleon]>

one of my coworkers apparently ordered 8 Mbit DSL

[08:18]

<[Chameleon]>

I need to find out from him how it is.

[08:18]

I don't know if you can _get_ 8Mbit DSL in australia.

[08:20]

[08:22]

<[Chameleon]>

2 years ago Comcast was shit. today they are pretty decent.

[08:22]

yeah, they may have changed, and whirlpool seems to indicate they have a bit.

[08:23]

<[Chameleon]>

somebody in #linuxtalk was saying they were going to get that 8Mbit connection.

[08:23]

<[Chameleon]>

[08:40]

<DeepB>

qq, what's the meaning of "Far out"?

[08:40]

<DeepB>

i'm getting a "the young ones" dvd, they say it all the time

[08:40]

<[Chameleon]>

I ordered pizza on my way home from work and drove 110 MPH on a stretch of hiway and arrived at the pizza place just as the gal took it out of the oven.

[08:41]

Nuts.

[08:41]

<[Chameleon]>

DeepB: amazing, unbelievable, "WOW"

[08:41]

<DeepB>

k, makes sense

[08:41]

<DeepB>

thank you

[08:41]

Young ones is cool.

[08:41]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: the electronic speed governor on my car kicks in at 122 MPH.

[08:41]

I've got both series. makes me laugh.

[08:42]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: it's rather unpleasant.

[08:42]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: but better than a blown motor.

[08:42]

<DeepB>

yeah: yeah, i remember it being aired here when i was young

[08:42]

that's nuts. nuts nuts nuts.

[08:42]

<DeepB>

it quite stroke me then

[08:42]

My current car probably can't to 100Mph!

[08:43]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: one of my coworkers, a contractor, has a V-12 Mercedes coupe that he says he's done over 180 MPH in.

[08:43]

DeepB: It's certainly very British.

[08:44]

Fast cars are kind of cool, but I don't get a huge kick out of them.

[08:45]

<DeepB>

here is was broascasted by a regional network, dubbed in Galician, it was quite mad, and totally hillarious

[08:45]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: one of the fastest street legal cars is the Bugati Veyron.

[08:45]

DeepB, sounds like fun!

[08:46]

not the Jaguar XJ220-C anymore?

[08:46]

<[Chameleon]>

pwarren: it's got a W-16 cylinder engine and goes over 250 MPH.

[08:46]

<[Chameleon]>

auto.howstuffworks.com

[08:47]

just saw some crazy footage of Nigeria, whole parliment in a chair throwing brawl!

[08:48]

s/of/from/

[08:59]

<[Chameleon]>

By 1992, Jaguar had entered the game and a 542 hp V6 turbo powered its XJ220 to an official 212 mph, becoming well-known as the fastest street-legal production car at the time. Then, only a year later, McLaren burst onto the scene and took the title without much effort, jetting away to speeds in excess of 220 mph.

[09:17]

I'm out folks, got to do some drinking, it's Friday night!

[09:22]

<[Chameleon]>

LOL, Friday morning here.
