It is... Im not saying its the easiest for a noob to jump into.. but if it cant do it out of the box you can probably script it and if you cant script it and its a worthy idea he might add it in the next release. What do you typically use as a tagger.
2005-10-08 28116, 2005
inhouseuk uses hacked up perl scripts to query MB using discid, store it to disc and use it as input to lame, faac etc
2005-10-08 28136, 2005
inhouseuk
so I tag when I encode
2005-10-08 28109, 2005
teleGUISEr
what about managing/cataloging.. batch editing.. never need it?
2005-10-08 28140, 2005
teleGUISEr
i also use it to clean all the multiple dupe MB id's the tagger adds..
2005-10-08 28140, 2005
inhouseuk
they are stored in my library by artist/album and I use a slim box as a player.
2005-10-08 28116, 2005
teleGUISEr
ahh.. want one badly.. that is my next $$ which SlimBox you have
2005-10-08 28150, 2005
inhouseuk
that's one reason to not use the MB tagger, it adds other tags that I don't need
2005-10-08 28152, 2005
teleGUISEr
oops.. i was thinking Squeeze Box.. slim box is cool too though for a port
2005-10-08 28101, 2005
inhouseuk
the standard sqeezebox, not the latest one with the upgraded display
2005-10-08 28116, 2005
teleGUISEr
oh so you have both or meant squeeze?
2005-10-08 28141, 2005
inhouseuk
I meant squeezebox but slim came into my head as they are made by slimdevices :)
2005-10-08 28101, 2005
teleGUISEr
thats funny.. exactly why I thought so
2005-10-08 28134, 2005
inhouseuk
it's too early in the morning
2005-10-08 28137, 2005
teleGUISEr
Yes.. the new display is cool.. I am a lighting/display freak..
2005-10-08 28128, 2005
teleGUISEr
what is it like about 5am there
2005-10-08 28143, 2005
SenRepus

2005-10-08 28144, 2005
inhouseuk
yeah, just before 5am
2005-10-08 28147, 2005
SenRepus
oh
2005-10-08 28158, 2005
SenRepus
well in NORWAY its 6am
2005-10-08 28117, 2005
teleGUISEr
Sen, forget seattle Move in with Mo
2005-10-08 28146, 2005
teleGUISEr
anything you can dig up bad about your Squeeze?
2005-10-08 28147, 2005
SenRepus
the thought has crossed me mind...
2005-10-08 28107, 2005
SenRepus
i wish i knew what you guys were talking about but google only returns info on accordians
a little slow to react to the remote sometimes but probably just me being impatient
2005-10-08 28112, 2005
teleGUISEr
hmm thats a peave of mine.. I wonder if 2 is better
2005-10-08 28130, 2005
teleGUISEr
or worse
2005-10-08 28148, 2005
inhouseuk
dunno, the remote signal is sent directly to the server, the actual device is quite dumb it only does the mp3 decoding
2005-10-08 28145, 2005
Eirien joined the channel
2005-10-08 28147, 2005
inhouseuk
my server for it is only a poor P2 400Mhz so that is probably the reason for the slowness
2005-10-08 28119, 2005
teleGUISEr
ah.. im sure that has a little to do with it..
2005-10-08 28151, 2005
inhouseuk
but it does have ~300 gig of storage on it :)
2005-10-08 28156, 2005
teleGUISEr
you use the wireless portion?
2005-10-08 28112, 2005
teleGUISEr
Seagate 300? or Maxtor
2005-10-08 28131, 2005
inhouseuk

teleGUISEr
50/50 and you threw the curve ball... WD's
2005-10-08 28134, 2005
inhouseuk
I've had too many maxtors die in the past
2005-10-08 28104, 2005
teleGUISEr
network cable everywhere is the only way to go.. bathroom/shower/bedroom/kitchen/garage/patio everywhere.
2005-10-08 28159, 2005
teleGUISEr
yea had my share of Max's going dead too.. but same for WD's... they all go eventually . Whats the saying it's not if but when
2005-10-08 28109, 2005
inhouseuk
yeah, everything will be networked in the future... :)
2005-10-08 28153, 2005
teleGUISEr
exactly... w/cat 6 the bandwidth is already stupidly excessive (presently anyway)
2005-10-08 28152, 2005
inhouseuk
100 meg full duplex is ample for most situations
2005-10-08 28133, 2005
SenRepus
alright guys, dumb it down so i can participate, please?
2005-10-08 28153, 2005
teleGUISEr
yes.. thats why imho think its funny how these ad's for Mainboards boasting GIG networks say that your broadband connection will be faster.. I just lmao
2005-10-08 28157, 2005
inhouseuk
the only time my network slows down is around 3am when backups between machines are being done
2005-10-08 28133, 2005
teleGUISEr
you run multiple nix?
2005-10-08 28146, 2005
teleGUISEr

teleGUISEr

2005-10-08 28148, 2005
SenRepus

2005-10-08 28103, 2005
SenRepus

2005-10-08 28118, 2005
teleGUISEr
I use multi nics on a couple machines just that I know I do massive transfers on but share the broadband connection with so it doesn't choke it to bad
2005-10-08 28110, 2005
teleGUISEr
well a router is good... prevents the simple hacker from hacking you.. And is a start to learning networking
2005-10-08 28132, 2005
SenRepus
i dont use it though, causes connectivity problems
2005-10-08 28148, 2005
teleGUISEr
thats not good... what os you use?
2005-10-08 28159, 2005

SenRepus

2005-10-08 28132, 2005
teleGUISEr

2005-10-08 28136, 2005
SenRepus

2005-10-08 28127, 2005

2005-10-08 28104, 2005
teleGUISEr
well the 604 has had some issues.. off the top of my head though/
2005-10-08 28112, 2005
teleGUISEr
624 fixed a lot
2005-10-08 28122, 2005
teleGUISEr
though have you updated the firmware?
2005-10-08 28158, 2005
SenRepus
i think i did, i havent used it in quite some time except for about a day when i set it up so my mom and i could both use the DSL at the same time
2005-10-08 28105, 2005
SenRepus
it wasnt worth leaving as it was though
2005-10-08 28159, 2005
SenRepus
it'd have been wise to take those sisco classes in high school...
2005-10-08 28101, 2005
teleGUISEr
inhouse w/o getting crazy ;) what do you like about freebsd over the other distros
2005-10-08 28141, 2005
teleGUISEr
Cisco ;)
2005-10-08 28103, 2005
SenRepus
i typed it cisco at first and "fixed" it
2005-10-08 28129, 2005
SenRepus
i havent as much as seen the word for 3 years or so, so gimme a break
2005-10-08 28140, 2005
inhouseuk
teleGUISEr: I prefer freebsd for stability and the fact the whole system is maintained under one source tree
2005-10-08 28113, 2005
inhouseuk
with Linux there are too many different distributions :(
2005-10-08 28131, 2005
teleGUISEr
was it wireless issues? what type of connectivity issues...
2005-10-08 28126, 2005
SenRepus
i have no experience with wireless whatsoever...
2005-10-08 28106, 2005
SenRepus
getting DCed from mirc for no reason every 4 hours, general slowdown of connection as a whole, searches not working in certain types of programs....
2005-10-08 28122, 2005

true true.. Red Hat, Mandrake, .. oops Madriva

wireless is great when it works properly, but get a problem with it and it drives you mad!
2005-10-08 28120, 2005
teleGUISEr
cant be said better
2005-10-08 28138, 2005
SenRepus
in my situation wireless would be a bit useless...
2005-10-08 28150, 2005
SenRepus
my pc isnt very portable
2005-10-08 28114, 2005
teleGUISEr
hmm every 4 hours is odd.. I know a lot of p2p'ers had problems.. I wonder if you had rebooting issues.. which were definitely firmware problems
2005-10-08 28122, 2005
SenRepus
it would be helpful for my mom and her laptop, but she's not paying the goddamn bill for chrissake
2005-10-08 28137, 2005
SenRepus
it only DCed mIRC though
2005-10-08 28122, 2005
teleGUISEr
hmm.. many chat channels? lots of traffic or MB amounts?
2005-10-08 28103, 2005
SenRepus
huh?
2005-10-08 28119, 2005
SenRepus
i only chat in this room...
2005-10-08 28150, 2005
teleGUISEr
so it was booting you from this level (frequency/amount) of chatting...
2005-10-08 28157, 2005
SenRepus
little/no traffic, usually happened while i wasnt paying attenion to the computer (work, sleeping)
2005-10-08 28127, 2005
inhouseuk
idle timeout maybe
2005-10-08 28139, 2005
SenRepus
never happens without it though
2005-10-08 28105, 2005
inhouseuk
network card going to sleep under windows?
2005-10-08 28149, 2005
teleGUISEr
yes... could of had settings defaulted that way
2005-10-08 28151, 2005
SenRepus
well, like i said, it only happened when i had the router inbetween me and the world...
2005-10-08 28100, 2005
SenRepus
and AFAIKnew it never disconnected anything else
2005-10-08 28147, 2005
teleGUISEr
and my bad.. forgot 604 was not wireless .. derr :(
2005-10-08 28125, 2005
SenRepus
you're forgiven, i wouldnt expect anyone to know
2005-10-08 28153, 2005
teleGUISEr
i used to know them all actually... but then it became to crazy... way way too many
2005-10-08 28106, 2005

is it nearby?
2005-10-08 28138, 2005

2005-10-08 28111, 2005

no pretty gui's loaded on any of the *nixers? or just easier to work it all through the XP box
2005-10-08 28151, 2005
inhouseuk
the *nix boxes are mainly servers, email, usenet, web, samba, dns etc
