Got a text from the father-in-law as to when the "nerdfest" was (he's our gracious host this year). They're are actually excited to have everyone back and have wondered why it's been 7 years since our last one there.

Anyway, I'm not seeing a list of who's coming anywhere. So raise your hand if you're gonna make it.

I've downloaded this and created a toon on Elin??? (whatever server is above). Seems to be pretty fun. Name is replevin. Is there a guild to join?

That google talk one looks interesting. May try that.

Been looking at http://www.phplivesupport.com/ and https://www.livezilla.net/home/en/ but haven't had an opportunity to mess with them. I like the phplivesupport one's ability to track visitors and having the source code to customize. But I've got to make it simple for a couple others to use. Google may fit that bill.

Thank you.

Anyone have any experience with website chat, or live chat type scripts/programs? I'd like to be able to have visitors to my website basically be able to IM me. I've seen different places that host them and then you just put some code on your site for the chat, but I'd think something exists that's a standalone that can be put on your own server.

I'm still researching it, but looking for any input.

Pretty cool indeed.

We used to put some gunpowder into spent .22 shells and hold them over lit candles till they blew, kinda like a cannon without a projectile (although the shell would shoot out of the pliers grip if you used too much). Model rocket fuel in this way looked cooler, more like a firework.

Wicks + gunpowder + Duct tape = homemade firecrackers also.

Safest not to mess with the stuff tho.

Sorry Vash, you got hit when I was banning someone else. Your ID is STEAM_0:0:7340048 in case I didn't get the unban right.

JRC113 must now wax your car if he ever wants to be unbanned.

Wow!! Even more impressive was what might be considered a reasonable price. I like the batpod bike too although it's got a hint of redneck dunebuggy in it.

If it goes back to the garage, there will be AC. The garage owner is an HVAC man, so naturally his garage is temperature controlled.

I have a few video's but I need a site to host them.. 52.1 megs..

 

I have a video of Samurai Nightling dancing.. And two others that I can show, the others are BAD!!

 

I recall there were more people than just Samurai dancing.......

Everyone else's checks cleared...

That video sure reminds me of how fun that was...all those old faces.

FF10 was great! Glad to meet all the new and old ones.

GG lousiest, Dragonfire's now off the hook.

MrX did you find someone to split the room?

Undercover and I are splitting a room Thurs-Sunday. If he's fine adding you Batman, I don't mind.

What he said. Smeg told me he had a little too much to drink that night hence his behavior in game and this post. Maybe limit it to a 24 hour ban?

I'm fine with it being a short term ban. Kinda what I expected as I've played in server with him previously without issue. If someone has his ID to undo it, go ahead. Or he can post up here with his ID and I'll get it.

This was my ban. He was on same team as me whining about map rotation, registration, and pretty much anything else over voice chat. Demoner, on the opposite team, warned him 2-3 times about it in the dead all talk (so Demoner only had heard about half which was enough).

I'm thinking his post is around when the ban occurred. If you're having a bad night, bad mood, bad burrito..... just say that here. But no one was having fun listening to the moaning while they were trying to play.

Bah, if he hasn't confessed in some respect, I could walk him with m0m's help.

Reminds me of this....

I'll be family-less at FF10 b/c the wife and kids will be out of town at bible school for the week.

If anyone would like to share the costs of a room, I'll have space or will help with the costs (haven't reserved a room yet).

Anyone else having downloads hang at 99% for around 15-20 seconds? Seems to happen quite a bit (about 90% of downloads I've done).

Also, Handbrake doesn't work. Nor does RealVNC client (submitted to MS on that).

Using Playon to stream Hulu etc. to my Xbox and that works really well. Can't figure out the streaming of other videos with Windows Media Player given that it uses "homegroups" (it doesn't see the Xbox).

Otherwise I'm running and actively using on both a laptop and desktop (played several hours of CS and didn't notice a difference from XP) and have really liked the interface. Thought I'd be disappointed, but have been pleasantly surprised.

Looking to be able to stream things like Hulu to a recently acquired Xbox 360. Came across Playon (http://www.themediamall.com/playon) which does Hulu very well (haven't tried its other stuff). There's a 14 day trial and then it's $30.

Wondering if there are any competitors in this market? Other solutions? Is Boxee an alternative? I don't mind the $30, but would rather know the options available before paying.

Just installed on my laptop that's 2-3 years old. (AMD Turion 64 - TL50 with 2 gb ram). Seems to run as fast as XP so far. Have to use vista 64 drivers for video and chipset.

Gotta say the interface keeps reminding me of linux desktops. So far it meets the "neat" factor...

Still awaiting a product key. I was able to download it directly from microsoft though from some link I found. http://www.gearlive.com/news/article/q408-...download-links/

That it snowed for that first "winter classic" (and my Pens were in it) was even more reason that was a great game. Unfortunately didn't get to see but a few minutes of this years.

I still have trouble watching unless it's a Penguin's game, or playoffs, or back when Roy ("Wa" for the uninitiated) was the goalie for Montreal.

It's a great sport to watch live also.

I've got a Blade CX2, a Trex Heli, and a few planes.

The trex heli (old pic, it's all carbon fiber with a metal head now with a white hood). Wish I knew how to really fly it.

Some plane pics (again old):

Only thing I have time to fly any more is the CX2 indoors. It's a lot of fun. Great hobby; hard on the pocketbook.

i dont always park in the same spot.

might as well, doesn't sound like you're fooling the guy.

Perusing through and BAM!! very funny

So what's a good mouse?

I did the same a while back with a WRTG v.6 and have had excellent results. Much better than the former wireless card I was using.

However, I can't connect more than 1 device at a time to it for internet. Seems to be a 1 port contraption with 4 physical ports (although I may not have it set up right).

Installed Orb last night and got to watch sportscenter, some news, etc. at work today. Got me wondering if there are any other similar programs.

Tried searching the forums but can't search 3-letter words, only 4.
