Blue Planet on Corals!

[kmagyar]

The Discovery channel is airing new episodes of Blue Planet tonight. I am sure they will repeat both of them later. I am recording both of them in VCD format in case anyone wants a copy. The one on corals in absolutly amazing. This is hands down the best documentary on coral that I have ever seen! Dont miss it.

Again if anyone wants, Ill have copies of it in VCD format (will work on almost all DVD players).

[kcolagio]

If you don't mind, I'll take a copy....

You didn't include the time/channel info...if you have it.

Thanks.

[kmagyar]

It was on when I posted. Sorry. I have it on vdc now.

[afss]

I wouldn't mind getting a copy of that, but not sure when i'll next be over your way.. probably not to long though.. gota get me some more fish:>

Is anyone doing an old-fashioned analog taping of this show? :D

[kmagyar]

Gary, Whats tape?!

[ReeferMac]

Keith, if you want to (and we'll have to figure out the logistics... maybe it's time I put IIS back on), you can send it to me and I can host it (cheaper than mailing out CD's).

Got the 12:00 showing saved on my tivo hard disks :)

anyone wanna come and watch it on the 70" screen?

[Chucker]

Just ordered the original 4 and the 4 new episodes on DVD from amazon about 40 minutes ago. The 2nd set gets released for sale tomorrow.

[ReeferMac]

Damn Dave... I'd say you might have a few people coming over!

Chucker - I wanna be first on those DVD's!


They're chatting about it over on "that other board" now too ;-)

[dmorel]

Don't get too excited, it's just an old laptop projector and a pull down screen, but it makes for a good show

Get chucker to bring the DVD's and we could have a party...
Motivate me to finish the new room too.

[clueless]

Keith,
I would like a copy if possible. Let me know

I can make copies of course (for educational purposes only , not for profit). But I think IIS would be a great Idae Kev. Let me know how that works out. The Coral reef episode is 600 MB. Of course I could compress it too.

[dmorel]

Keith,
I can give you a login to my ftp you can post it there if you want...

-dm

[kmagyar]

OK, email it. Ill upload it tommorrow morning or something.

[dmorel]

But I think IIS would be a great Idae Kev.

And after futzing around with IIS at Tood's on saturday post meet, I don't agree that it's a great idea!

Apache...sigh...

[kcolagio]

I can let you put on it on my Solaris (note: a REAL OS) box (yes, I have a Sun at home)...

And of course I am running Apache. :D

Let me know....

[ReeferMac]

Well Damn, I should bring that Ultra5 home from work then ;-)

I didn't know you were a Sol. admin. We've got an E4500 at work that's my toy ;-)

- Mac

[kcolagio]

E4500?

Bastard. :jester:

[Gary Majchrzak]

Hmmm........I guess I could offer to lend out my "Life on the Reef" video to you guys, but you probably couldn't play. It's in ancient VHS format!!! :p

[ReeferMac]

E4500?

Bastard.

Production environment... we don't **** around :-)
When the presses are worth $800+/hour, you don't want to wait 5 minutes for a file to copy :-)
I should have you stop by some day... you'd like some of our toy's (and christ, we're on your way home).
The Catalyst 4006 is the one I'd really like to get my hands into (don't you just hate me now ;-). Don't know enough Cisco CLI (we're not on IOS).

[kcolagio]

Got you beat there Kevin.

I have setup and installed both a 4000 series and a 6000 series switch. :D

Oh, I've worked with 3500s (we had 4 of them at one site)...that was the largest. two of them had A3500 Disk Arrays on them, and another had an L3500 (I think it was...100 tape capacity). The group had something for the 3500 line.... ;)

Oh the war stories of that site....the guy who set it up was "learn by hoping" type that tweaked everything to the point of half of it not working if there was a problem with anything else. Hell, the entire site (200+ systems) were on HUBS (!) when I got there.

Let me know if you are hiring where you work...I'm always open to getting out of doing PC support...which is where I am stuck now.

Later.

This puppy is big, took me 20 minutes to DL from work (600kbps!), and then another 20 minutes for the file system to move it from the temp directory to my download folder (I love windows...)



Download from here... (http://www.morelweb.com/~kmagyar/bp02.mpg) Most of you will want to right click and select "save target as" to download.

Thanks for ripping and posting this baby Keith!
I watched the first few minutes of it this afternoon, beautiful footage...

did you get sumone to make you a VHS yet.. if not ill catch it saturday night for you and offcourse myself... off the dish... lemme know

[Gary Majchrzak]

shotgun, I would GREATLY appreciate that! :D

[Chucker]

Still not shipped..... wonder how long it'll take amazon to send 'em out....

[kcolagio]

I started the download the other day and assume it finished....haven't had time to check it.

If I have it (and I will get it one way or another), I'm going to edit out any commercials and make myself a VCD.

Let me know if you have an interest in one like that.....

Later.

[dmorel]

Kevin,
let me know if you had trouble with the download and I can give you an FTP login, that might be easier. I just assumed most people would rather right click and download then have to set up an ftp client to login...

-dm

[kcolagio]

It was more of a "I started it then left the house and never got back to it" thing....I'm pretty sure it came down fine....just haven't confirmed it.

Thanks though. If you want a mirror, I can set it up on my system at home (which now is running 8 different domain spaces, woohoo!).

Later.

[QUOTE(which now is running 8 different domain spaces, woohoo!)[/QUOTE]

So you're the one sucking all the bandwidth out of my neighborhood ;-)

8?!?! Jesus, how do you do that? With RoadRunner?
Are these TLD's?
