13:36 zhanx just my text tho
13:36 Tom_itx not the server lag?
13:36 Tom_itx or your isp
13:36 zhanx nope its the software
13:37 Tom_itx new ubuntu?
13:37 zhanx mint and nope just started doing it
13:37 Tom_itx hmm
13:37 zhanx let me close out the window
13:37 zhanx better?
13:37 zhanx yes
19:57 rue_house they put in my smart meters today, anyone have a zigbe modem?
19:58 rue_house I think my power multiplier factor is wrong }:)
20:02 Tom_itx did they fault in their favor?
20:04 zhanx i got a zigbee need 2.5
20:04 zhanx err have a 2.5
20:07 rue_house as I understand there is a built in scaling factor on the measured power
20:10 rue_house look at that, off ebay, I can get a zigbee adapter for under $20
20:12 Tom_itx won't the queen get mad at you if you tamper with her income?
20:59 rue_house the queen dosn't care, she's not government.
20:59 rue_house and hydro is private anyhow
21:24 Tom_itx are you on public water or well?
21:25 rue_house public
21:25 rue_house we call our electricity service 'hydro' cause all our power comes from waterfalls
21:25 Tom_itx i figured as much
21:26 Tom_itx hydro electric plants
21:37 rue_house the way it really works is that we buy cheap power to the usa and sell them our 'on demand' power at a higher rate
21:37 rue_house cause unlike your coal and nuclear, we can turn our power generation on and off any time we like
21:41 Tom_itx done anything with the usb boards?
21:44 rue_house I'm gonna ask your help for a simple walkthru of a modified led flasher
21:44 Tom_itx ok
21:46 Tom_itx are you gonna use flip or dfu programmmer?
21:48 rue_house iirc linux has dfu
21:48 Tom_itx you may need to mod the cfg file
21:49 Tom_itx to add the U2
21:49 Tom_itx unless they've updated it by now
