<0> WhimsicalAgony: telnet is basically a network socket with very little intelligence.
<1> private?
<2> si si si
<3> thiago: there is for bbses...
<4> I miss bbses a bit... it was easy to meet with the folks one chatted with.
<3> ansi graphics and such...
<0> WhimsicalAgony: well, that's not telnet's job
<0> WhimsicalAgony: that's the terminal's job
<2> brb joint/cig time
<1> i never used a bbs
<1> i didnt even have the internet untill like 95'
<3> I have a friend working on "iqterm", a terminal/telnet program... but I am not sure if he was making it compatible with windows AND linux, or just windows.
<3> bbses were before the internet.
<4> Well, tyvm for the info guys. Have a good evening :)
<3> I never had the net until 97.
<3> I had bbses in... 89.
<5> I had a pair of 2400 baud modems...
<6> I had nothign
<2> lmmfao
<5> rbbs ****ed, but I had a copy of it...
<1> i think in 89 i had a 386 :)
<6> yea i had a minitel
<1> maybe i still had my 286 ... computers were expencive
<1> parts too
<2> in 89 i had a 286
<6> its still expensive, mate
<6> im looking into parts to build a box
<1> not really
<2> now i have a year-behind comp today
<1> i buy parts from pricewatch
<0> WhimsicalAgony: Linux uses terminals for everything. They are quite good.
<6> im looking to 450euro for my box.. plus 200 for a 19" wide lcd
<3> so, thiago: I will rephrase. Is there a decent terminal program for linux that will display ansi graphics?
<6> it seems cheaper to buy a prebuilt computer
<3> unfortunately, or fortunately, some of the bbses I frequent are run by people who are still huge in the ansi artpack scene
<6> and they come with a commercial OS on them too
<6> whats an ansi graphic?
<3> LOL
<0> WhimsicalAgony: all of them :-)
<3> are you serious?
<5> WhimsicalAgony: heh, I haven't seen ansi art since... that makes me feel old. :P
<6> ascii?
<5> tradewars!
<6> hm
<3> I have an ansi of my face on my myspace page.
<5> ansi
<0> WhimsicalAgony: dude, terminal escape sequences were invented in Unix :-)
<3> Dudette, if you will ;)
<6> i think xterm is a good term
<6> not sure what u need if its not good enuff for you
<3> i've not tried any linux term programs.
<0> WhimsicalAgony: ok, then. Dudette :-)
<3> I won't have a chance for another several days. :)
<6> ok then i guess your a newb
<3> I'm anxious for the computer to get here so I can wipe vista clean off of it and install linux for the first time
<3> Thank you for your insights this evening, thiago.
<3> You will, unfortunately, be hearing from me again.
<5> lol
<6> i wouldnt wipe out vista if i were you
<6> especially for a first linux install
<3> I look forward to bothering you for further ***istance.
<3> I'll have a recovery cd.
<3> Trial by fire.
<6> pff
<3> I work well under pressure.
<6> your recovery cd will wipe out your linux install
<1> bye thiago
<6> best thing is resize the win partition
<3> Besides, then I can't say "it's too harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.... I want to use winnnnnnnnnnndozzzzzzzzzzzzzzze"
<6> and dual boot
<2> whim did you make it?
<3> Did I make what?
<2> the ansi of ur face
<6> WhimsicalAgony, you have another pc in the house yea?
<3> yes... this will be laptop #3, and I have 4 desktops.
<3> I have quite a large home network ;)
<2> WOW
<6> right
<3> I have a laptop that I am using now.
<5> you have too many. buy me something new. :P
<3> my boyfriend has his laptop.
<6> v1s1t, what heppened to you? u just saw a naked woman?
<3> we have the computer that runs my BBS (bbs software is a systems hog)
<2> i only ever owned 1 pc at a time
<6> WhimsicalAgony, so you're like a geekette who also happens to be a linux newb?
<5> I own several... this one (pentium 3) is the fastest.
<3> we have a computer in the spare room that has all the importantish stuff.
<3> and we have one we don't really use.
<6> if you have a spare laptop, you could send it to me :D
<3> I also installed an extra hdd into the bbs computer to store all my mp3s.
<6> ill pay for shipping XD
<3> So I guess you could call me a geekette.
<2> i'm still looking for old pc's like 486 or p1
<3> Although I never consider myself especially intelligent with computers.
<3> I am very good with satellite tv technology.
<6> yes, but a geekette who doesnt run linux?? or another unix like OS
<3> I've not had a teacher patient enough to teach me to use it
<6> teach urself
<6> thats what every geek does
<3> and the last several years have been rather stressful for teaching myself anything.
<6> i understand
<3> So it;s easier when I have someone else there to shake me like a baby and tell me how to do something.
<6> you'll love linux
<6> you know any programming language?
<5> WhimsicalAgony: what kind of satellite tv stuff do you do?
<2> read the docs
<3> I wrote a few back in the days of my tandy coco
<6> good things with nunux.. write scripts, set up your cron jobs
<3> and does anyone here remember the mud LORD (Legend Of The Red Dragon)?
<6> set up servers for http ftp etc..
<5> nah... I'm not a mudder.
<6> me neither
<2> i play thanatos mud
<3> I was a high-up tech support junkie for dishnetwork until directv decided to pay me more money ;)
<7> help
<7> ajarin linux
<3> I worked for their inhouse techs (dish) and install supports.
<2> ajarin linux? sounds ***y
<7> cara setting DNS server
<7> diubuntu
<2> ubroketoo?
<2> si
<3> then dtv bought me.... worked for their inhouse tech support and outsourced installers support line.
<3> so when it comes to installing or fixing.... i like it )
<8> WhimsicalAgony, why not make use of the free tech support by running it for a day,
<2> yea download a live cd
<3> then I had a ton of irl drama, moved out of Pennsylvania and down to Virginia, and am trying to get myself back to sane (sorta) again.
<5> WhimsicalAgony: ok... can you tell me why the **** directv puts me on hold for a half hour every time I activate a system? whatever happened to the installer number skipping the hold queue? :P
<2> test the waters before you convert
<6> why are there so few cpu fans for the am2 socket
<6> geez thats annoying
<6> these zalman ones look great but it doesnt say anywhere it works for am2
<3> I don't work there anymore, darling. And the long wait is probably because they integrated alot of their CIS and mainbank agents.. that happened before i quit.
<2> evel-dna:zip ties
<3> It was part of why I got sick of being a manager.
<5> heh
<6> v1s1t, zip ties being whaT?
<6> v1s1t, it works for any socket/fan?
<5> and I'm long since sick of being an installer... have only done about 5 dtv systems in the last year or so.
<3> They wanted CIS agents to be having certain numbers upheld, but made them take mainbank calls that ****ed their numbers up for obvious reasons.
<3> You wanna know why that is?
<3> Because DTV blows.
<5> I don't have a TV, dtv or otherwise. :)
<3> If it weren't for Sunday Ticket, they'd have been belly up years ago.
<3> DishNetwork is HANDS DOWN a hundred times better.
<2> evil-dna: those things that you can tighten but not loosen and when you pull them tight it goes zzzip
<3> Charlie just doesn't wanna blow all his money on the sports packs.
<3> He'd rather spend it on porn.
