<0> Tron: a robotic vacuum cleaner
<1> Ah.
<0> http://irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=122
<0> I have one. I love it.
<2> Ka-bar: Roomba is great for keeping up pet hair; its counter-rotating brushes actually pull the hair out of rugs and off your hard floor. Everyone.s pet is different, but most tend to react with curiousity at first, then soon after get used to it. Say goodbye to pet-hair tumbleweeds.
<2> mwhahahahaha
<3> roombas can drive pets nuts
<0> tavi-san: exactly. I have a dog and 2 cats.
<4> OldMonk kabab discussion here?
<5> yup
<0> The cats don't give a ****. The dog is terrified of it.
<2> lol
<2> cats usually dont give a **** about anything
<0> true...
<2> they are the queens and need to be treated like that
<6> Ka-bar: my cats always avoided the vaccum cleaner, the dog tried to attack it
<2> Lion-O: look what schitzo said on neko
<7> tavi-san: NARC!
<1> The only thing cats care about is if you're still providing them with a service to their satisfaction. ;)
<0> the kitten stalked the roomba and tried to pounce on it a few times, now she just ignores it.
<1> i.e. Is this ****er still feeding me, and giving me shelter?
<0> The dog runs off and hides in her crate.
<3> ka-bar, when the roomba doesn't react to the cat, it tends to get bored
<8> tavi-san: do I have to? ;)
<2> Lion-O: yeah, he talks bad about neko, he should be punished :D
<5> what's a neko?
<1> OldMonk: The "other" IRC network.
<5> the one underwearnet tried to take down?
<9> Ka-bar: Looks liek the D50 with lens is still more expensive. I'll stick with the ist for now.
<1> OldMonk: You know - the Secret Cabal? :P
<5> yeah, that one :)
<8> OldMonk: yeah, the one and the same.
<1> Lion-O: Now everyone who doesn't know it is itching to find out about it ;)
<10> Falchion: this totally needs net play
<8> OldMonk: the one network which will soon be the only one available on an isolated and slow Japanese mountaintop :P
<9> Nanuq: hehehe
<8> Tron: hehehe
<2> Lion-O: hehehe
<5> Lion-O: with cherry blossoms, and will you enforce talking in haikus?
<1> Lion-O: Do Unreal linkups work properly over modem connections? :P
<8> OldMonk: that will be Tron's doing 8)
<4> Falchion more expensive than?
<8> Tron: sure! we'll just need to write a program to add your box to the DNS once you're hooked up, and disconnect when you're not ;)
<8> Tron: its going to redefine the nature of dynamic DNS forever!
<9> f3ew: Than the Ist I am looking at.
<4> lst?
<11> is it worth setting my 'firewall' to reject connections to thinks like sunrpc or would refusing them be just as good ?
<1> Lion-O: Well /when/ it gets to the point where I'm saying "FFS! I need /BANDWIDTH/ damnit!111!" we'll probably move to an area with at least some semblence of internet connection ;)
<11> thinks == things
<8> cinex: depends on what you mean with "reject" and "refuse". Best is to simply lock down everything and only open up what you need.
<9> f3ew: Scroll up.
<10> Tron: Maybe just some bored schoolboy and a stack of DVD-RAMs
<8> Tron: hmm :) Your son will need bandwith! ;)
<1> Lion-O: I may have to look into satellite broadband whilst I'm there. There might be coverage.
<4> the first I saw was you saying that the D50 was more expensive
<10> Tron: that sounded nasty. I meant to solve your bandwidth issues.
<9> Ka-bar: Since I c an get the ist with a 15-55 lens for less than a nikon D50 body only, I'll go with the Ist I guess. It's got decent reviews and I'm not trying to get my pics in a magazine. And it'll be shedloads better than my current camera
<11> Lion-O, I have installed gurddog, it gives me the option of "protocol is blocked", "protocol is accepted" and "protocol is rejected"
<9> f3ew: We're talking about cameras.
<1> Nanuq: Heheheh ;)
<8> cinex: then rtfm comes to mind. I'd recommend using iptables though.
<9> f3ew: I'm going with an Ist as opposed to the d50
<1> Nanuq: Actually, Japan is planning to lauch a satellite specifically to provide broadband from space within the next few years.
<1> Nanuq: http://www.spacedaily.com/news/internet-05zzx.html
<10> Tron: Too bad you're not in space.
<0> Tron: that's gonna ****.
<1> Nanuq: I said - FROM space, not IN space, damnit. ;)
<10> Tron: Isn't that redundant? Where else would the satellite be?
<1> Ka-bar: "Japanese government officials say they will develop a new communications satellite to provide broadband services that are as fast as fiber optic cable."
<10> Tron: Well there is talk of high altitude balloons being used..
<5> ``oops, the gas just wnet out of my internet!''
<10> Well it sounded promising.
<11> *sigh
<10> You could get a whack more balloons up there cheaper and easier than a bird in orbit.
<1> Ka-bar: It might **** in terms of latency, for sure. But that only affects me if I'm trying to do online gaming, and I don;t do online gaming (apart from the odd bout of bzflag)
<10> Tron: or VNC, etc.
<0> Tron: Yeah, 100mbit bandwidth. Big deal. A geosynchronous satellite is .11 light seconds away so you're going to have over 200ms latency round-trip for each packet. *THAT* ****s.
<1> Nanuq: Baloons are great, until the next Typhoon ;)
<6> Tron: doesn't all of japan have some slow wireless stuff?
<9> Ka-bar: Doesn't matter when you're leeching pr0n
<8> Tron: in the end you can always use smokesignals. I'm pretty sure some interface exists in Japan 8)
<8> or drums perhaps.
<1> Ka-bar: It'll be much better than smelly modem internet access though ;)
<1> Lion-O: SneakerNet!
<10> Ka-bar: Well, balloons would solve the latency issue.
<8> Tron: w00t. I prefer the adidas branch 8)
<10> Tron: See my idea.. boy, DVD-RAMs..
<1> Lion-O: Indeed!
<1> Nanuq: That still sounds dodgy ;)
<10> Tron: Or if you could get some sort of animal instead.
<10> Tron: A dog!
<1> Nanuq: Now you're just getting perverse!
<0> FerretNet
<10> St Bernard or something. Booze _and_ data.
<10> Who needs more?
<1> Lion-O: I might find some co-lo place in the nearest city (Koriyama) and place a box there.
<8> Tron: that would rock 8)
<1> Lion-O: Indeed it would - for it would definitely allow there to be a "koriyama.jp.neko-net.org" or somesuch ;)
<5> Tron: you in .jp, or going there?
<6> OldMonk: He is beeing deported from the UK
<1> OldMonk: Tomorrow we shall be going to the Japanese emb***y here in London to apply for my Spouse Visa.
<8> Tron: hmmmm :-)
<1> wlfshmn: *chuckle*
<10> Tron: I'm still thinkin' of hittin' up Hokkaido RSN
<5> wlfshmn: ach, so!
<5> Tron: what fun, for how long?
<6> Tron: It's bad if the emb***y personal fall off their chair laughing, I've heard
<1> OldMonk: Permanently.
<5> Tron: wow!
<1> wlfshmn: Cut that out. ;)
<6> Tron: Am I making you nervous? ;)
<1> wlfshmn: No, not at all in fact. :)
<4> Falchion I was asking which company makes the ist
<6> Tron: Bah, then I must try harder!
<4> ah, a Pentax
<1> OldMonk: Meanwhile, we'll be getting a local estate agent to give our house a market appraisal.
<8> hmm, stuff seems to be working here.
<5> Tron: how come you're shifting?
<1> Hopefully I can manage to A) get the visa, and B) sell the house within the next 8 to 10 weeks. Then, it's "**** YOU, BRITAIN!".
<1> OldMonk: I absolutely DESPISE London, and the rest of the country's going to **** too.
<5> got a job in .jp then?
<11> heh
<1> OldMonk: Nope.
<5> Tron: p*** through delhi then
<6> Tron: Send your wife to work, and you stay home with the halfpint?
<5> i can promise you good kababs at least :)
<12> .systemcheck(OldMonk):killall[]
<1> OldMonk: My .jp parents-in-law have a mountain cottage which they rarely use, they're keen on seeing us move in there.
<12> do not kick me
<5> Admnistrator: kiss my hairy brown arse
<13> haha
<12> or i will have you x-lined
<5> Admnistrator: kiss my hairy brown arse
<13> Admnistrator is spelled wrong
<12> which bans you from all irc networks
<13> LOL
<14> hahaha
<8> slow bounce. He can't even do that.
<5> bahy!
<5> i want a turn ;)
<1> OldMonk: If yer not fast, yer last. ;)
<15> am I missing a game of bofhball?
<5> yes!
<16> let him speak.....i am curious
