18:05 <@Dagmar> Hmm... WIth these two netbooks sitting side by side, I can definitely tell that the one of them I want to keep is the ASUS, even if it did take half a fucking year to get it fixed properly.
18:05 <@CRasH180> What is the other one?
18:06  * hanuman picks at his banjo and scares everyone within listening distance
18:06 <@CRasH180> Dagmar: What is the other netbook to do not like as much as the ASUS?
18:07 <@Dagmar> HP Mini 110
18:07 <@Dagmar> The screen is _notably_ less pretty
18:07 <@CRasH180> I see
18:07 <@Dagmar> My problem at the moment is that the Ralink wireless card in the eee 1000 is apparently crap
18:08 <@CRasH180> yeah
18:08 < hanuman> Has anyone been having issues with comcast and large file downloads?
18:08 <@Dagmar> Like, it keeps roaming from AP to AP because I'm in range of multiple ones, and the driver (even the updated 2.4.0.0 one and updated firmware) reports bullshit for signal and noise levels...
18:08 <@Dagmar> ...leading fucking wpa_supplicant to endlessly attempt to reauth in hopes of getting a better signal.
18:09 <@CRasH180> fun times
18:09 <@Dagmar> hanuman: Nope, but it's not like I've done any large downloads today
18:09 <@Dagmar> CRasH180: The sad thing is that since it's an open network, if I were to murder wpa_supplicant in it's sleep, the problem would go away
18:09 < hanuman> hrm, strange, any time i try to dl apple updates say like in the evening they shit out and will not checksum properly
18:10 <@Dagmar> I am tempted to just order a BCM4312 because tat's what's in the HP and it works flawlessly
18:10 <@CRasH180> Sounds as if you would enjoy that a bit too much
18:10 < hanuman> was wondering if they had some bandwith issues due to the flooding
18:10 <@Dagmar> What flooding?
18:10 < hanuman> in may
18:10 <@Dagmar> Oh, no...
18:11 <@Dagmar> Everything's been working fine here, and I know I pulled about 200Mb of Ubuntu updates at one go last week
18:11 < hanuman> bleh, oh well, guess i'll just have to do my updates at 4am
18:11 < hanuman> when they work fine
18:11 < hanuman> i think it depends on the area of town you're in
18:11 <@Dagmar> More than likely you shoudl call Comcast and ask them to fix it
18:11 < hanuman> i did
18:11 < hanuman> they were like hrm, sounds like network management
18:11 <@Dagmar> Yes, and they've fucked that up before.
18:11 < hanuman> bleh, <bites tougne>
18:11 <@Dagmar> Check the admin interface on your cablemodem.
18:12 <@Dagmar> See what it's saying when you try to pull updates.
18:12 < hanuman> everything seems fine on it
18:12 <@Dagmar> Could be your cablemodem is falling over and dying and Comcast is just too fucking stupid to look.
18:12 < hanuman> checked the logs, and levels and all sorta crap
18:12 <@Dagmar> That and try pinging the first hop outside your local network while you pull the updates.
18:12 <@Dagmar> The log is damn near useless.
18:12 < hanuman> pings all work
18:13 <@Dagmar> Any disconnect will run whatever caused it to fall off the end of the ringbuffer.
18:13 <@Dagmar> You aren't reading what I'm typing.
18:13 <@Dagmar> Ping _while_ you do the updates.
18:13 < hanuman> i did
18:13 < hanuman> :)
18:13 <@Dagmar> Something's overloaded at Apple then
18:13 < hanuman> nope
18:13 < hanuman> when i go to a friends house say in franklin works fine
18:13 < hanuman> and it works fine from 2am to 7a
18:13 < hanuman> ;-)
18:14 <@Dagmar> Lemme put this another way
18:14 <@Dagmar> Comcast broke your shit.
18:14 < hanuman> yup
18:14 <@Dagmar> If you can pull updates from someone elses house, but not your own, Comcast has fucked up your connection point.
18:14 < hanuman> i'm not the only person in my area having issues
18:14 <@Dagmar> It's Comcast's problem to figure out exactly how they fucked it up.
18:14 <@Dagmar> I'd call them every goddamn day until they get it working.
18:15 < hanuman> i talked with another person in the area that also has a fucked up thing
18:15 <@Dagmar> As long as you don't have an open ticket with them, Comcast will steadfastly continue to believe everything is okay.
18:15 < hanuman> i've been talking with someoen on a comcast direct forum on dslreports
18:15 <@Dagmar> So... find a way to _make_ the problem manifest, and that way if/when they send a tech out, you can demonstrate it for them.
18:15 < hanuman> but beginning to think the dude is useless
18:16 <@Dagmar> If you're talking to a Comcast employee on duty on that forum, then yes, they are useless.
18:16 <@Dagmar> They're just a customer satisfaction rep.  They have no power to fix or diagnose anything.
18:16 <@Dagmar> Their job is to make you feel better about it.
18:17 < hanuman> argh guess i'll call comcrap one day
18:25 <@CRasH180> turn that "one day" into "TODAY"
18:25 < hanuman> i'm practicing procrastination meditation
18:25 < hanuman> it's where you put everything off till tomorrow
18:25 < hanuman> lol
18:26 <@CRasH180> Is that the same as when you go to a bar and they have the sign, "Free teer tomorrow"?
18:26 < hanuman> no that's just advertising lol
18:27 <@CRasH180> and with that I am gone. cya

19:11 <@Gerdesas> wonder how long hanuman's service remains broken until he gets off his ass, calls, and continues to call until the issue is resolved.
19:14 <+VampirePenguin> at least a week
19:15 <+VampirePenguin> thats why cancelled them and went with clearwire
19:34 <@Dagmar> How's the latency on thta?
19:39 <+VampirePenguin> well i was having some difficulty at first but i figured out that i needed to set my router to respond to pings from the internet
19:39 <+VampirePenguin> the return signal kept getting lost basically from the tower to my modem
19:39 <+VampirePenguin> other wise <50ms
19:40 <+VampirePenguin> i had 4Mbs down and 500Kbs up with a 250ping

19:40 < hanuman> shit, i got a foreign body lodged in my nose
19:40 <+VampirePenguin> for something you can fold up and take with you works great
19:41 <+VampirePenguin> ya those domestic ones are more trouble
19:41 <@Gerdesas> hanuman: I believe they call that a coke rock.
19:42 <+VampirePenguin> Gerdesas, on a roll tonight
19:42 < hanuman> nope, it's called a banana
19:42 <@Gerdesas> is there a reason you have a banana in your nose?
19:43 < hanuman> not particularly, was curious
19:43 < hanuman> to see..
19:43 <@Gerdesas> as long as you are happy.
19:44 < hanuman> quite so
19:44 < hanuman> now i don't have to hold the banana to eat it
19:45 <+VampirePenguin> did you learn that technique from your local comcast techniciam
19:45 <+VampirePenguin> n
19:47 < hanuman> Time to listen to bollywood music
19:47 <@Dagmar> You can't just drop a tape player into the tub?
