Elais | knock knock |
MattH | Who's there? |
MattH | The problem is definitely with Trillian, then. |
Elais | boo |
MattH | Do you have a firewall? |
Elais | not sure |
Elais | thought I had one before, but not sure now |
MattH | What version of windows are you using? |
Elais | the guy who fixed my computer did a viruscan |
Elais | windows 98 |
Elais | there are one or two programs that don't quite work |
MattH | Ok - that doesn't have one by default...so unless you have installed one (or he did), you don't - but they can interfere with chat programs. |
MattH | By blocking the program's access to the internet. |
Elais | I use trillian for AIM chats and I haven't had problems with that |
MattH | Those ports are probably open by default, though, because AIM/ICQ are so common. |
MattH | You might want to check with the guy who fixed your PC. |
MattH | Norton now comes with a firewall. |
Elais | which reminds me, I need to reinstall Kazaa Lite |
Elais | get hit with quakes? |
MattH | I felt a couple of them...just part of life in SoCal. |
Elais | no earthquakes here |
Elais | just thunderstorm warnings |
MattH | I haven't used Kazaa for much in ages... |
Elais | I use it every once in a while to download a tv ep |
Elais | and perhaps the occasional porn ;) |
MattH | I find bittorrent a little more reliable ... |
Elais | I've been looking to download some torrents of Dr Who |
MattH | www.tvtorrent.com |
MattH | Whoops - I mean www.tvtorrents.com - forgot the s... |
Elais | thanks |
Elais | I was particularly interested in the last ep |
MattH | It was ok - a little too Hollywood for my taste. |
Elais | you download the eps? |
MattH | From usenet |
Elais | I tried usenet, but couldn't quite figure it out |
MattH | It can be tricky at first. |
MattH | I use Xnews as my usenet reader for Binary files. |
Elais | that may be my problem... |
Elais | i try searching through google |
MattH | And Quickpar for decoding Parity files. |
Elais | there used to be a pretty good UK usenet site for Buffy and Angel |
MattH | Google doesn't carry binary newsgroups. |
MattH | tvtorrents.com does have the entire season. |
Elais | that's good to know |
MattH | Weird - I am listening to a local radio station over the internet and my webhosting company had a commercial on.... |
Elais | why is that weird? |
MattH | I wasn't aware that they advertised at all, other than on the web. |
Elais | it's probably tough to get attention on the net |
MattH | I just wonder if the commercial was only in the stream or if it was being broadcast/ |
Elais | you said you have to have a couple of visits with the dentis? |
MattH | Yep - not sure exactly how many. Probably 3-4 more. |
MattH | I have a post on it here - http://www.launchpadzero.net/Weblog/index.php?p=170 |
Elais | yikes |
MattH | That is what *I* thought... |
Elais | good thing they can do the payment plan |
MattH | Yeah - interest free no less. |
MattH | I will be changing my withholding options in October (our next open enrollment) so the money I spend to pay it won't be taxed. |
Elais | I was considering setting up a payment plan myself |
MattH | That should save me about $300-$400 over the course of the next year. |
Elais | that will help a little |
MattH | Yeah - better to handle the problem now than later, though. |
Elais | my first session is next tuesday |
Elais | and two visits after that |
Elais | still have a lot of work? |
MattH | My dentist didn't waste any time...I was in for an exam, and the next thing I know he is drilling in my t eeth.... |
MattH | It is picking up - my boss was on vacation last week, so we are clearing out the stuff that she had to deal with. |
Elais | that's good |
MattH | How is work on your end...still slow |
Elais | yes |
Elais | we get the odd project once in a while that takes a couple days |
Elais | but it is still slow |
Elais | ah well |
Elais | life goes on |
Elais | I perk is that I get to spend a bit more time online during work hours |
MattH | Yeah...that can be nice. |
Elais | on the other hand, I try to be careful on which sites I go to |
MattH | No Fark, huh? |
Elais | I visit fark |
Elais | I guess that doesn't trigger anything |
Elais | I like hitting the topics that generate the infinity symbol |
MattH | The infinity symbol? |
Elais | yeah, it looks like the number 8 only sideways |
MattH | Funny .... but how do the topics you pick bring it up? |
Elais | what I mean is that I know a topic is generating a lot of discussion if it has that symbol beside it |
MattH | Oh...at Fark... |
MattH | My brain seems to be going.... |
| * MattH 's brain flies past |
MattH | Yep - there it goes.... ;-) |
Elais | lemme shoot it down for you |
Elais | *bang!* |
MattH | No great loss - I never used it for anything. |
Elais | my mind wanders a lot |
Elais | never lost it though |
Elais | okay, gotta run Matt |
MattH | Ok - cya next week. I'll e-mail if my dental appointments conflict with the chat. |
