[10:21] AAAAAHHH [10:21] as if the things they say aren't stupid enough [10:21] they forgot to patch the "fire" method on the printer? [10:21] ix33: in case it's not obvious yet, that's the html source of a wikipedia page with really bad find-replace [10:22] you have to scrutinize the crap they put on the monitors [10:22] hazardous: oh nice. i didn't realize that [10:22] oh boy [10:22] i'll just continue to not watch it [10:22] one of the recurring themes was in their code editor, all malicious code is automatically highlighted red [10:22] haha [10:22] and all clean code is automatically green [10:23] so they only have to search for red parts [10:23] they spend like half an hour discussing this across a few episodes [10:23] and how useful the feature is [10:23] i always knew the life of a security researcher was easy [10:23] that proves it [10:25] i like how IP addresses are always definitive identification [10:26] and instead of using like CBS studio IPs or private ranges [10:26] they're always like 33958.148.438 [10:26] ah yes i caught that too [10:26] there was another csi franchise that used IPv6 [10:26] 192.168.1.999! [10:26] with ; : . a-z, including x y and z [10:26] and a few spaces [10:26] and a dash somewhere [10:26] lol nice [10:27] https://i.imgur.com/ddlUHCC.jpg theres another one too [10:27] awesome [10:27] then there's the cliched "access granted" on the international baby blackmarket website [10:28] also all firewalls are simply username/password prompts [10:29] There was a tumblr I used to read that snapshotted and identified the shit tv shows and movies put on-screen [10:29] (wish I could remember the name now) [10:29] IT Crowd had an O'Reilly Camel on the wall for a few episodes. ) [10:30] IT Crowd had legit geek cred [10:30] Their set was furnished by geeks [10:30] clearly. And some of the dialog was also not just blah-blah [10:31] Even Moss' rant about "hooking the driver function" had a strong basis in reality [10:31] which was rad [10:31] in the opening episode, yes! [10:32] ... http://theitcrowd.wikia.com/wiki/The_IT_Crowd_Wiki [10:32] See. the driver hooks the function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory...

[20:13] Would it be appropriate for me to start a gofundme page for music equipment? [20:14] That way my current followers can contribute donations? [20:14] yeah [20:14] sure [20:14] people use it for all kinds of things these days [20:14] Cool [20:14] it kind of surprised me how well it works [20:14] I want to do something where certain donations get certain promotions [20:15] kickstarter has that [20:15] Like, for XX amount, you'll get the album once it's produced [20:15] i haven't paid muuch attention to gofundme [20:15] for XX amount, you'll get the album and a T-Shirt [20:15] how much are you aiming for? [20:16] $2,900.00 will get me the live equipment I need and help recoup some studio costs [20:16] It's really more like $4,500.00, but I'm investing in myself some too [20:16] mnathani_: random ebay thing i noticed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liebert-MPH-Managed-Rack-PDU-1U-Black-MPH-NBR09NXXF30-800100677-/391084235014?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b0e6fd906 [20:16] but I know others have asked how they can help, and I never really have an answer, because I don't want to just say "Oh just give me cash." [20:16] i don't really know your requirements though [20:17] hmm, that's 200+v [20:17] i wonder what voltage arp is running on. [20:17] phlux: from what i understand you can probably get $500 to $1000 without even needing t-shits, albums etc. [20:18] That would be awesome [20:18] but yeah if you want like $5000 probably a good idea to have albums/tshirts. [20:18] phlux: i think facebook etc makes this stuff "easier" [20:18] especially as far as getting 10 friends or somethign to donate money [20:18] and more acquaitances. [20:19] like someone who's seen you play once may donate $20, $50 etc. [20:19] yeah [20:19] it wouldn't have been how i guessed it would work, but seems to be how things happen in general. [20:19] I've got a lot of followers on FaceBook who found me just because they've been to a show [20:19] but yeah, canvasing friends for money i wouldnt' expect to be so fruitful. [20:19] hundreds? thousands? [20:19] Definitely not that many [20:19] I wish [20:19] More like 60-70 [20:20] yeah probably need to work on presentation a bit [20:20] but I have several friends/family that attend a lot of shows when I'm local [20:20] maybe you should do another show as a fundraiser too? [20:20] that's in the planning stages, actually [20:20] It's going to be more of a promotion/fundraiser [20:20] yaeh [20:20] yeah [20:21] business cards, website links, giveaways, that sort of thing [20:21] got any youtube videos? [20:21] actually, I have one old one from a few years ago [20:21] make a new video too then [20:21] but we're working on getting more recent ones from recent shows online [20:21] cool. [20:21] the whole small musician thing is so mucuh easier to get publicity these das. [20:22] yes it is [20:22] and it helps than I can do my own website management :P [20:22] I've got people to provide the content [20:22] but I can handle the technical shit [20:22] That's what she said!! [20:22] yeah i wouldn't even focus on web site stuff at first though [20:22] facebook, twitter first. [20:22] I'm not really, other than to put audio out there [20:23] So people don't have to download my music manually [20:23] just use youtube [20:23] ahh ok [20:23] are you doing digital albuum sales too? [20:23] we plan on it [20:23] i'm curious to see what it's like :) [20:23] can i see your youtube? [20:23] We're researching how to end up on YouTube [20:24] er [20:24] on Spotify [20:24] Hah, sure, it's just an old video my wife recorded in my house of me doing a Pearl Jam concert [20:24] your more recent stuff is on sonducloud? [20:24] My (very close) cousin had died earlier that day, and Pearl Jam was his favorite band [20:24] damnit my typign suucks today. [20:25] to be honest, most of my more recent stuff is recorded locally and not on a computer yet [20:25] but, I can share a cover with you [20:25] ahh ok [20:25] I threw this page up with some songs I just recorded in front of my laptop [20:25] so you don't record direct to computer? [20:25] http://www.phluxbox.com/kmtmusic/?page_id=2 [20:25] just to test the audio player (which I don't like) [20:26] some crude recordings, but they're servicable [20:26] Naw, I have a studio I go to for more professional recordings [20:26] phlux: have you looked at soundcloud? [20:26] they have an embeddable player that's pretty decent [20:26] and for live recordings we use a tapeout on the mixer [20:26] cool. [20:26] m0unds: I haven't, but I will. [20:26] i think the voice should be louder than the guitar. [20:26] sorry [20:26] i'm critical :) [20:27] It is in the actual recordings [20:27] and especially live [20:27] cool. [20:27] I'm very particular about the clarity of my vocals [20:27] yeh you're only using one mic? [20:27] in those recordings on the site, yeah [20:27] I literally just recorded a couple of things on my laptop to throw up [20:27] yeah [20:28] as a test, really [20:28] your mic can't be too bad. [20:28] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3qhh9PIbTc [20:28] YouTube Music: "Kevin Thompson - Black (Pearl Jam Cover)" by Kevin Thompson (4m 50s), 63 views. Uploaded 2013-04-28T02:50:28.000Z. [20:28] There's me doing Pearl Jam's "Black" a few years back [20:28] Just at home [20:29] I tell you what [20:29] This weekend I'll put some better recordings up of my originals [20:29] cool [20:29] and I'll share them with you guys for helping me out/being interested [20:30] I know you all might not think much of it, but it means a lot to me that you've shown interest and offered assistance [20:30] heh [20:30] even just saying "congrats on a good show" goes a long way with me [20:30] i wish i could play guitar well [20:32] i prefer this older one to the newer ones :) [20:32] even with the worse production quality [20:33] it probably helps i know the song :) [20:36] why do you play it so high up the neck btw? [20:37] is the song normally like taht? [20:37] ok i'll shut up now :) [20:39] haha sorry [20:39] yeah, that song is played way up there [20:39] it's got some funky chords [20:40] i think it's the strings [20:40] the highs sound all muffled on youtube [20:41] but it may be just youtube [20:41] i'm trying to find a bloody pick. [20:41] i have to learn guitar more haha [20:41] and buy new strings probably [20:41] I restring religiously [20:42] i use elixir long life strings [20:42] which helps a little [20:42] I do too on my acoustics [20:42] Super Slinkys on the electrics [20:42] they sound good fater like 3 months [20:42] ernie ball, wut wut [20:42] d'j whatever ones sound shit after 2 weeks [20:43] I just use elixers because they don't break [20:43] yeah, i have elixirs on my acoustic because they don't rust and don't break [20:43] my electric has fucked pickups [20:43] I mean, they do, but not as frequently as others [20:43] i use d'addarios on my electric, flatwound strings on my 4-string bass and on one of my electrics [20:43] I've got a Taylor acoustic and a Fender Sonoran acoustic, and the Fender is my favorite [20:43] how often do you change? [20:44] For electrics, I've got a strat, tele, and jaguar [20:44] Tele is my favorite [20:44] i have an ESP viper, washburn idol and jackson dinky [20:44] mercutio: I restring after every show or every two weeks [20:44] whichever comes first for that guitar [20:44] yeah that's quite quick :) [20:44] my acoustic is a washburn something or other, d-100 i think [20:44] m0unds: I feel like we play two different types of music haha [20:44] i play a bit of everything [20:45] hmm mine is takamine [20:45] mercutio: can't risk breaking during a show [20:45] my jackson and esp are both ~15 years old [20:45] I also change my 9V out on my acoustics before every show [20:45] so they date back to my high school days :) [20:45] I used to buy/trade all the time [20:45] hmm that reminds me i have some cable to plug into computer [20:45] but I've calmed down since I moved out on my own [20:45] with usb direct [20:46] i bought a PODxt when i moved out so i could play without annoying apartment neighbors [20:46] i have a washburn bass. [20:46] i can't play bass for shit [20:46] my basses are a fender jazz bass w/dimarzio pickups and a yamaha 5-string something or other with active electronics that i kind of hate [20:46] buut it's fun to make the house wobble around [20:47] but i bought it pretty cheap and it's well made (just the electronics are awful) [20:47] hmm my bass is active too, so is my electric guitar. [20:48] what's wrong with active [20:48] nothing [20:48] just the electronics in my bass suck [20:48] if i refit it w/emgs or something it'd be fine [20:48] but there's no point [20:48] doesn't actually switch off the electronics when it's unplugged so it regularly kills batteries if i fail to pull them [20:48] http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/washburn/xb125 [20:48] this is what i have [20:49] nice [20:49] except it's not black [20:49] and it was bought second hand [20:49] http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/yamaha/rbx775 that's the yamaha i have [20:50] i bought it used for less than $200 to try out bass playing when i was like 18, haha [20:50] heh [20:50] i think i got it in 2003 [20:50] how much wsa the bass amp? [20:50] damnit where is my pick [20:51] i bought an ashdown 4x10 and head to gig with [20:51] it shows i haven't tried playing in a long time [20:51] haven't played a show in probably 10yrs, played w/friends' bands years and years ago [20:51] i was really keen to learn stuff before there was an earthqauke where i lived [20:51] ah [20:51] and i was really motivated [20:51] then like all motivation dropped afer earthquuake [20:51] and my electric guitar got a little damaged [20:52] and i completely got out of rhythm etc. [20:52] it helped that i had a neighbour tghat played guitar that always came around [20:52] i seem to only want to try and get better when people play around me. [20:54] finally found a pick :) [20:55] haha, right on [21:09] yip need new strings [21:09] is ebay the cheapest place to buuy strings? [21:14] umm, maybe [21:15] i probably should get some locally if i want to get quick [21:15] otherwise i'll lose enthusiasm :) [21:15] but i was wondering if i should get a few packs or something as well [21:16] yeah, the only strings i don't buy locally are the oddball ones (flats) that my local places don't offer without special order [21:16] i used to buy from juststrings.com a lot [21:16] last time i bought strings locally i asked for a discount and got it :) [21:16] surprisingly the markup isn't that insane [21:17] for some reason tehy always have more than one music shop near each other [21:17] so you can just go the other one if the first one doesn't have stock here [21:18] ernie oddball are popular though? [21:19] ernieball? yeah [21:19] i meant oddball as in weird [21:19] flatwound strings vs round wound strings [21:19] the winding material isn't round wire, it's flat wire [21:19] so instead of squeaking when you move your fingers on the strings, it's mostly silent [21:20] on a bass it can make a fretted bass sound almost like a fretless or upright bass (but not quite, since some of the tonality comes from contacting wood vs metal frets) [21:20] yeh that's common here? [21:20] isn't it called slinky or something [21:20] or is that something different [21:21] different [21:21] ahh ok [21:21] slinkys are round wound ernie ball strings [21:21] ahh ok [21:21] nickel usually, but they do steel too (which sound a little brighter and harsher) [21:22] yeh i think that is what i have for my electric [21:22] more mass for your pickups though, so they can also sound louder too [21:22] i should figure out if i can fix my pickups [21:22] it cuts out all the time [21:22] it fell over [21:22] i think something landed on it [21:23] it's like the only seriously damaged thing i had though [21:23] and it's so much easier to play than acoustic [21:24] because the strings are close to the neck [21:24] i dunno why people say you should start with acoustic [21:24] it seems harder? [21:24] That's what she said!! [21:33] might check to see if you have a weak solder joint on the vol/tone pots [21:33] or if you have a pickup selector, there [21:33] well it's physically pushed in too [21:34] and it was immediately after earthquake [21:34] but yeah the soldering may be loose [21:34] but it needs to be positioned properly somehow too [21:34] i imagine where the scre goes in as pushed athrouugh a bit [21:35] i think i'm going to try taking it somewhere that does repairs [21:35] but maybe i shoudl check myself first [21:35] should have adjustment screws [21:36] wait, bass or guitar? [21:37] guitar [21:37] yeah buut i think it's pushed through [21:37] oh [21:37] hm [21:37] i can't even remember the make of it [21:38] i should have another look [21:38] one was worse than the other [21:42] it doesn't look that bad actually [21:42] schecter [21:43] mostly the paint is chipped a bit [21:47] actually it seemes like the selector for pickuups is the biggest issue [21:47] that may b eeasy to fix [21:55] when you have a pots that makes noise when you move it around [21:55] that normally means it's old and needs replacing, right? [21:55] http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/leap-second.html#%7EProductInformation wee [21:55] but if it suddenly did that after water damage does that mean it may be able to be cleaned? [21:55] yeah, you could try potentiometer cleaner [21:56] it'll get rid of scratchiness if it's not caused by corrosion [21:56] well it got bad suddenly [21:56] but i think fish tank landed over it [21:56] surprisingly no strings broke [21:56] oh [21:57] i can probably replace the pots [21:57] and the switch [21:57] buut i duunno if the pickups are ok [21:58] hmm pickups cost heaps [21:59] looks to be around $150 US for pickups plus shipping [21:59] so hopefulyl it's just the pots :) [22:01] *** mnathani_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [22:08] i don't think it's as bad as i thoguht it was
