11:08:16 <JarZ> sup ash?
11:14:48 <ash> ey
11:14:50 <ash> not much
11:14:53 <ash> at work
11:15:07 <ash> just about go go to adelaide uni though for a meeting
11:15:53 <ash> k gotta go
11:37:37 <JarZ> http://www.flickr.com/photos/benpearce/2297045198/sizes/o/in/photostream
11:37:38 <JarZ> woah.
12:18:44 <ash> back
12:18:57 <JarZ> wb
12:19:02 <ash> ty
12:19:47 <JarZ> why do people have to be so lazy :(
12:19:57 <JarZ> was meant to meet up with anthony and/or taliesin for lunch today, but neither are answering their phones
12:19:59 <JarZ> typical!
12:20:07 <ash> lol
12:20:11 <ash> where were you gonna go?
12:21:22 <JarZ> pulmans or central market
12:21:47 <ash> nice
12:21:50 <ash> what did you get up to last night
12:21:51 <ash> n64?
12:22:35 <JarZ> yeah
12:22:45 <JarZ> and some sonic
12:23:11 <JarZ> n64 looks so horrible on such a massive tv :\
12:23:27 <JarZ> mostly becuase of the low res of the composite cables. n64 games on the wii don't look too bad at all
12:24:17 <Guest32214> 'sif 64!
12:24:23 <JarZ> sifnt
12:24:25 <Guest32214> SIF!
12:24:28 Nick: Guest32214 is now known as damian
12:24:31 <JarZ> SIFN'T
12:24:34 <JarZ> I have said sif/sifnt 2295 times since the 5th of August 2002
12:24:35 <JarZ> rofl
12:24:37 <damian> 64 is cartridge yea?
12:24:42 <damian> hahahha
12:24:45 <JarZ> sif that still exists
12:24:52 <JarZ> um yeah it's carts. why?
12:25:01 <damian> just wondering
12:25:05 <damian> i've only really played one once
12:25:06 <damian> haha
12:25:21 <ash> how do you play n64 games on the wii?
12:25:31 <Carson> virtual console
12:25:32 <JarZ> virtual console
12:25:37 <JarZ> ones that have been paid for/downloaded
12:25:40 <damian> virtual console
12:25:41 <damian> !
12:25:49 <ash> oh
12:25:49 <damian> just chip your machine and download
12:25:55 <ash> i thought you could only get small old games
12:26:02 <JarZ> chipping doesn't make them free..
12:26:09 <JarZ> nah ash. there are a few n64 games on there too
12:26:12 <damian> download from internet, burn to dvd i mean
12:26:17 <Carson> JarZ: its actually getting closer to that
12:26:34 <JarZ> damian; ah.
12:26:46 <JarZ> Carson; with homebrew software you mean? or virtual console getting haxed?
12:26:55 <damian> on nadteu there's a Wii bundle i uploaded a while ago .. 2200 games or something, heh heh!
12:27:01 <Carson> homebrew software
12:27:06 <Carson> wasn't wii, it was gamecube
12:27:10 <Carson> nothing like that exists for wii yet
12:27:34 <damian> apart from homebrew!
12:27:35 <Carson> but with the virtual console stuff, people could export it, hax it a bit, and then release it, and you run it as unsigned code on your wii
12:27:39 <Carson> in theory it would work
12:27:58 <JarZ> yeah i know about the gamecube homebrew
12:28:38 <Carson> http://wiihomebrew.blogspot.com/2008/02/wii-zelda-twilight-princess-hack.html
12:29:25 <Carson> so its not just gamecube hacks any more
12:30:11 <JarZ> i've also heard about that ;P
12:30:18 <JarZ> but the twilight pricess hack is in it's early days
12:30:29 <Carson> proves it can be done
12:30:36 <JarZ> yeah
12:30:41 <JarZ> there's a bit of software out already
12:30:43 <Carson> and thus it'll get better
12:30:51 <Carson> apparently an mp3 player
12:30:58 <Carson> read the slashdot article when it came out
12:31:07 <Carson> unfortunately, the linked sites were all slashdotted
12:31:29 <JarZ> yah
12:33:10 <JarZ> Carson; smash brothers on wii is getting 9.5-10/10 reviews pretty regularly it seems ;D
12:33:21 <Carson> interesting
12:33:23 <JarZ> it won't be out here for ages though. you should download it ;P
12:33:46 <Carson> i've already logged into easynews
12:34:13 <JarZ> also nintendo tv channel sounds awesome, but japan only :(
12:34:14 <Carson> only jap versions out
12:34:17 <JarZ> Some more neat functionality is employed, with the Wii able to send out alerts to mobile phones or email addresses, and the Wii Remote able to operate as a TV remote for channel surfing and volume control. Nintendo achieves this by having the Wii Sensor Bar send out a signal which is magically bounced off a wall and transmitted back to the TV.
12:34:22 <JarZ> that's fucking cool.
12:35:01 <damian> how cool is the sensor bar workings in general
12:35:17 <JarZ> yeah
12:35:18 <damian> i've been trying to get it to work with my computer, but i can't quite figure it out
12:35:20 <JarZ> http://wii.ign.com/articles/856/856580p1.html
12:35:35 <JarZ> damian; uhh if you mean the wiimote, it's very, very easy. i've done it before :)
12:36:05 <damian> i can get the bluetooth working so it senses the up/down/left/right motions and stuff
12:36:20 <damian> but i'm talking about using hte actual sensor bar to calculate where you're pointing
12:36:29 <JarZ> ah
12:36:37 <JarZ> oh
12:36:42 <JarZ> all you need is two IR leds
12:36:54 <damian> say whop
12:37:04 <JarZ> buy a cheap wireless sensor bar online somewhere, or somehow drag your sensor bar to on top of your monitor ;P
12:37:17 <damian> yeah, well i'm using it in the loungeroom
12:37:23 <JarZ> Carson; smash brothers is out march 9th in north america :\
12:37:29 <damian> but i can't get it to actually detect it properly
12:37:33 <damian> using GlovePIE
12:37:38 <JarZ> damian; the sensor bar is two IR leds. that's it.
12:37:41 <Carson> sweet
12:37:42 <damian> ah
12:37:44 <Carson> will download then
12:37:46 <Carson> remind me
12:37:51 <Carson> although, 9th = sunday
12:37:52 <damian> i thouhgt there were more
12:38:33 <JarZ> Apparently some enterprising hax0rs tore apart their Wii sensor bar, only to find a couple of standard IR emitters. It turns out the "sensor" bar doesn't actually sense at all, it just sends out a pair of IR beams which can then be triangulated by the Wiimote
12:39:01 <JarZ> damian; you can buy cheap wireless sensor bars online from a bunch of places. they're what most people use when hooking it up to a pc
12:39:06 <Carson> fucking genius on nintendo's part
12:39:13 <JarZ> exactly
12:40:31 <JarZ> Innovative users have used other sources of IR light as Sensor Bar substitutes such as a pair of flashlights and a pair of candles
12:40:32 <JarZ> LOL
12:40:34 <JarZ> that's awesome
12:40:50 <Carson> reading that review now
12:40:53 <Carson> seems pretty awesome
12:41:02 <Carson> yeah, heard about the candles
12:42:37 <JarZ> i want my wii chipped already :(
12:44:22 <Carson> haha, one of our customers got hacked
12:44:36 <Carson> didn't lock down a unix user account
12:44:46 <Carson> attacked got in, and then attempted to hack some german guy
12:44:48 <Carson> who told us about it
12:46:01 <JarZ> lol
15:15:26 <JarZ> another lung infection! fun
15:17:39 <ash> y 4 plz
15:19:07 <JarZ> nfi
15:19:18 <JarZ> well it's not quite a lung infection yet, but if i don't take antibiotics it will be
15:19:20 <JarZ> also
15:19:22 <JarZ> these pills
15:19:24 <JarZ> say
15:19:45 <JarZ> DO NOT TAKE if you're on pills with ergot alkaloids in them...
15:20:07 <JarZ> that's not a good thing. the most well known ergot alkaloid is... uh..
15:20:07 <JarZ> LSD
15:20:08 <JarZ> :\
15:22:36 <Carson> fuck it
15:22:40 <Carson> risk the lung infection
15:25:42 <JarZ> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism
15:25:43 <JarZ> oh my
15:25:45 <JarZ> i don't really want that
15:26:38 <Carson> jesus.
15:26:57 <Carson> how long is the antibiotic course for?
15:27:02 <JarZ> 5 days
15:27:12 <Carson> do it after friday :D
15:27:17 <Carson> well, saturday
15:27:18 <stefan> hah, it's not azithromycin by any chance is it?
15:27:49 <JarZ> roxithromycin
15:28:00 <stefan> ah, close
15:28:02 <JarZ> yeah
15:28:09 <JarZ> why do you ask? :P
15:28:27 <stefan> because I'm on azithromycin, and the hospital cut my funding for it
15:28:32 <JarZ> ahh lame
15:29:02 <stefan> the macrolide antibiotics are quite interesting, they do more than just fight infection
15:29:16 <stefan> good interesting though, other than the cost
15:29:28 <JarZ> yah these = over $3 each :\
15:29:34 <damian> do they pop when you put them in your mouth?
15:29:59 <JarZ> what sort of interesting, stef?
15:30:15 <JarZ> i've read a little.. since i got worried when i read the ergot alkaloids bit ;P
15:30:17 <stefan> anti inflammatory for one
15:30:30 <JarZ> ... i'm glad i actually research what i take before i take it
15:30:32 <JarZ> lol
15:30:36 <JarZ> including illicit substances
15:32:15 <stefan> having access to the medical journals through uni is handy as well :)
15:32:21 <stefan> though not so much on illicit
15:32:25 <JarZ> haha
15:36:31 <damian> wee
15:59:50 <ash> lol yeah good thing you read the pack
16:00:09 <Carson> so what you going to do andy?
16:00:19 <Carson> probably not a good idea to take acid as planned if you're on the antibiotics
16:01:46 <ash> if you start turning gangrenous its gonna put a real downer on our trip..
16:08:44 <Carson> its true
16:08:53 <JarZ> i haven't taken the antibiotics
16:08:54 <Carson> i'm also hopefully getting a carton or 2 of nos
16:09:03 <JarZ> nostex doesn't sell nos anymore...
16:09:13 <JarZ> wait, carton or box?
16:09:17 <Carson> oh? must be a new owner thing
16:09:19 <Carson> carton.
16:09:36 <Carson> apparently one of the guys here knows the national reseller for isi
16:09:42 <JarZ> lol awesome
16:09:52 <JarZ> when will you get that by, and more importantly, how much?:P
16:10:32 <Carson> hopefully tomorrow, if not friday
16:10:48 <JarZ> cos iw as going to get a few boxes.. but if you get a carton then screw that ;P
16:10:56 <Carson> fair nuff, hm i dont memba off the top of my head, i need to confirm both price and availability from him tonight
16:11:15 <JarZ> kk
16:11:47 <Carson> where were you going to get them from?
16:12:02 <Carson> i'd be down for a few boxes anyway, just to make sure we have some i think it'd be better to get them
16:12:05 <Carson> this guy isn't that reliable
16:22:20 <JarZ> anthony's foodland apparently has them
16:23:25 <Carson> i see
16:23:35 <Carson> thats the one on the parade? opposite woolies?
16:24:32 <damian> wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
16:24:42 <ash> you're gonna sniff them and put them in your bongs aren't you!
16:25:12 <damian> hah
16:25:25 <damian> we sell that box on Zazz at BigW for about that price
16:28:17 <JarZ> Carson; woolies hasn't been there for years... but yes
16:28:28 <Carson> ok :)
