22:04 rue_school hey
22:04 katsmeow-afk hi
22:07 zhanx hate my internets
22:08 Tom_itx use the neighbors
22:08 zhanx my series of unfortunate events made me get a 4g wireless one
22:09 rue_school aparently the average internet connection in the states sucks
22:09 zhanx what neighbors? :) i got a mile about before i have one
22:09 katsmeow-afk correct
22:10 rue_school is eating nothing a good way to combat high colesterol?
22:10 zhanx monday last week my "installer" said a tree fell on his truck
22:10 zhanx rue no
22:10 rue_school oh
22:11 zhanx Wednesday my new installer called me at 9 am gave his name confirmed the appointment and never showed
22:11 rue_school hmm
22:11 rue_school what are they installing?
22:12 Tom_itx nothing
22:12 Tom_itx apparently
22:12 rue_school phone head office and tell them you want % off the months fee
22:12 zhanx friday i saw an article in the paper of a guy busted for heroin sales with the same name ( cable internet)
22:13 zhanx monday this week zero contact. then the county dug up the backbone line by "mistake" hence 4g crappiness
22:13 zhanx 72 dollars for a 5mps cable connection
22:14 zhanx 35 dollars a month for a 1.5 mps
22:14 zhanx ugh
22:14 katsmeow-afk that's $35 PLUS another $30 of fees
22:15 zhanx either way i never got the connection after a week
22:15 Tom_itx 65 for 50
22:15 zhanx i had 50 before now its like dialup
22:16 zhanx i have a 2 bar 4g connection
22:16 Tom_itx i got a 300baud modem you can borrow
22:16 zhanx 258k on speedtest which sucks but not as bad as 300 baud
22:18 Tom_itx https://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
22:18 zhanx at least in this area i am about the only person using at&t wifi
22:18 Tom_itx i get about 51 on that one
22:20 zhanx i got 4.48mps down and 1.08 up
22:20 Tom_itx 7 up
22:20 Tom_itx should be ~10 iirc
22:20 zhanx better than the zero i have for almost 2 weeks
22:20 zhanx had*
22:21 zhanx heck my esp8266's house network is faster
22:21 zhanx my wife thinks i am making skynet
22:22 zhanx i got 18 of them talking via telnet and relaying to my pc
22:23 zhanx ran out of dental floss so i cant pull the rest of the wires for under the sinks etc
22:27 katsmeow-afk fishing line
22:27 zhanx i fly fish
22:28 katsmeow-afk ok
22:29 zhanx also, dental floss is lighter
22:30 katsmeow-afk why do you need super light pulling tape?
22:31 zhanx cheap and using a vacuum
22:31 zhanx my shop vac is small
22:32 zhanx http://pastebin.com/bVmrd49p
22:32 zhanx i got bored making my login system to my home automation
22:33 katsmeow-afk tie a lil wad of toilet paper to the end of the cord, the vac will pull it much easier
22:44 zhanx will try that
22:56 zhanx compile is complete and i broke my code :(
23:04 zhanx takes my computer forever to compile and i forget a ; at the end of a line
23:04 zhanx twice
23:05 katsmeow-afk write a pre-scanner to check things like that before hitting the compiler?
23:06 zhanx i use leafpad to code in, like notepad for windows
23:10 zhanx katsmeow-afk, i would need to write a pre-scanner to check for my typo's also
23:12 katsmeow-afk yeas
23:15 zhanx http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc854.html and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc857.html dry reading
23:28 rue_school big test tommorow, I think I know it all
23:28 rue_school or enought to figure out the rest
23:28 rue_school less the electrical code stuff, of which I'm screwed
23:28 rue_school gnight!~
23:35 zhanx ok code sucks, will attempt it again in the morning when i am not so worn out
23:35 tsmeow-afk witches rue
23:37 zhanx wow thank goodness for cut and paste, i coded all my server routines in my slave node section, i really need to change my punishment for bad code
23:38 zhanx every typo is suppose to be 25 pushups
23:38 zhanx i am cheating this one
23:39 katsmeow-afk who does the pushups?
23:40 zhanx me
23:40 zhanx i am getting out of shape
23:40 katsmeow-afk o
23:40 zhanx well round is a shape also
23:41 zhanx i cant run anymore so need to do what i am able to
23:43 katsmeow-afk running may not de the thing to do on a replacement knee
23:48 zhanx katsmeow-afk, i just realized, i am rewriting linux for a Uc
23:48 zhanx i need to stop reinventing the wheel
23:49 katsmeow-afk heh, yeas, but i am talking to someone rebuilding win3 that looks like win95, to run on windose or nix computers
