yes very good, but still i cant use it at uni.

Stupid administrators, i cant even reason with them.

But a way that i have been able to at least get a response is using php (using the webservers port 6667, not mine :)

But at the rate im going its not going to be done anytime soon :(

Can you make ssh connections (port 23)? If not, https (443)? Create an account with SDF and you can login and run a client from within the SSH session, or if you're on the higher levels where you have to pay you can outright forward ports from your local machine to SDF. I used to use this from my high school which had a very restrictive network.

nuts, I forgot they won't let you use IRC until arpa membership, which requires a $36 donation.

I can't seem to connect to QuakeNet at all--via a proper client or the Java one above or anything.
by hcs at 10:24 PM EDT on October 23, 2005
One more client, this should work for anyone with a browser:

hoorah, it doesn't really work.
by Lunar at 9:32 AM EDT on October 24, 2005
I might make an appearance, though it'll mean I have a hefty 6 IRC networks on autoconnect... plus there's no other channels on quakenet I can be bugged with =p.
by hcs at 11:19 AM EDT on October 24, 2005
If you say so, UF. Josh and Vague Rant were using it without any trouble.
by Josh W at 2:49 PM EDT on October 24, 2005
yes, ive had a problem also:

Well at least its connecting.

!!! I can use CGI:IRC on other channels. Hmm, i'll try something.

ok, it has to be quakenet, because i set up one that can connect to other servers, but quakenet.

I'm thinking of adding a "recent USF updates" function to UFBot. It would return something like this:

UFBot *** Getting recent USF updates.
(the bot would open a socket to halleyscometsoftware.com and see what updates were made that day)

by hcs at 8:00 PM EST on October 30, 2005
It looks like it's just having trouble resolving the address, plug the IP address 82.211.16.17 into your installation and it works.

I have no problems with small, just make sure that you don't try to do it with any newlines in between the tags or it will fail.

HCS fixed it. Sorry, didn't notice your message to me until quite a bit after you left. Fortunatly, I noticed it shortly after HCS got back... If that helps.

Hope to see you around again. Mouser X over and out.

yes but... That would have took forever, and CS2 was there at the moment, so I just had him do it for me, which I DID thank for it.
by marioman at 11:28 AM EST on March 18, 2006
Just out of curiosity...what games are the GBS archives for? GBSes are hard to come by, and if there are any that I am interested in I may see if I can get my hands on them.

Thanks.

Actually, I figured it'd be nice to have it easier to find, for those who want to use the CGI:IRC clients linked here. [EDIT]Which, apparently, don't work after the server switch... Hopefully that's fixed soon-ish.[EDIT] Mouser X out.

You are to report all Firedivine sightings to the FBI. He must be stopped at all costs because he sucks.
by Josh W at 7:17 PM EDT on May 21, 2006
For some reason i can't get CGI:IRC running on the new server. It doesnt like it. No, it doesnt. Creates a lot of Internal Server Errors it does.

However i found a site that does work, and it is http://www.chriscole.info/cgiirc/irc.cgi

by hcs at 10:04 PM EDT on May 21, 2006
I haven't taken it up with my new host, but I take it that it doesn't allow network connections from CGI scripts. Which is a good decision on their part, my old host was all kinds of careless.

OMG NEWS!

First off, I would like to say welcome to the one and only Neill Corlett, who's been idling in our channel. Thank you for helping our barely active channel from going under!

Secondly, the stats page has returned. See the stats here.

Last but not least, pretty soon fishbotclone will meet its ultimate demise before I release its source code.
by Lunar at 11:03 AM EDT on August 1, 2006
I suppose I haven't been helping the channel from going under either =P.
by unknownfile at 11:05 AM EDT on August 21, 2006
Coming to you live from Germany, where the keyboard layouts suck!

Anyways, the lag to the irc server is incredible. It takes 30 seconds for my messages to get through.

We should see if we can get a CGIIRC on the server. And, if not, then I guess we'll have to wait until I can find a good one.

Also, after I get back, I have one week to do absolutely nothing before school starts so expect me to be working on Ratchet and Clank throughout that week. Auf vidersen or however you spell it for now.

In-Jokes, to be a separate webpage soon by unknownfile at 10:03 PM EST on November 8, 2006
Like every other community, #usf has a series of in-jokes. Here are the ones that I know of so far.
I will attempt to explain these in as much details as possible.

* Live Svajklubb: Perhaps the largest of all, this was started by anewuser in August 2006. Live Svajklubb is actually a concert, which was recorded in May of the same year. Live Svajklubb was performed by the chiptune group TSR (Transexual Swiss Rebels) and Tunnan of Tunnan och Moroten (Link NSFW). The repetitive style and Tunnan's bad singing immediately became infamous throughout the channel. Ironically, Ivan of TSR describes the concert as "40 minutes of pure crap."

Mouser X happened to hear it as he mistook it for another group's music. He has been scarred for life and is currently in rehabilitation.
* Supakitchen: Not as big an in-joke, but is an older one. This came about as the result of Speakonia mispronouncing Supakitsune's name as Supakitchen. It was an odd coincidence, and pretty soon everyone started referring to him as such. Kitchen himself does not use the screenname Supakitsune anymore.

[01:05] <hcs> he signed my program, "ROCK THE USF'S"
[01:06] <hcs> he reminded me a little of Elijah Wood
[01:08] <hcs> I also helped chibitech run with his luggage across a train station.

Waluigi-Soap now has activity, onoes.
This should introduce the regulars of #usf, as well as the lurkers *cough* anewuser *cough*
This log has been edited for quality purposes.

(23:21:32) Mouser_X: [...] Howdy Soap2.
(23:21:39) Soap2: Hi
(23:21:44) Mouser_X: I attempted to say that earlier, but I was disconnected.
(23:21:51) Soap2: Well that's alright
(23:21:52) Mouser_X: From whence do you hail?
(23:22:17) Soap2: Where I am from in the real world?
(23:22:22) Mouser_X: As in, how did you hear about this channel (or, are you someone who's changed their name, and I don't recognize it?).
(23:22:25) Soap2: oh
(23:22:55) Soap2: I like video game music, and I found the site while looking for gamecube and n64 music
(23:23:01) Mouser_X: Ah.
(23:23:04) Mouser_X: Makes sense.
(23:23:22) Soap2: I looked through some threads and because some links were dead, I came on and lurked so I can stay on top of getting stuff
(23:23:27) Soap2: THat's basically it
(23:23:31) Soap2 is now known as Waluigi-Soap
(23:23:34) Mouser_X: I was more curious than usual, because I'm in another channel with a "Soap" in it...
(23:23:59) Waluigi-Soap: Soap is my standard name, if it's taken, I'm Waluigi-Soap
(23:24:25) Mouser_X: Yes, sticking around in #usf is often where you stay up to date the most.
(23:24:33) Waluigi-Soap: yeah
(23:24:55) Waluigi-Soap: I appreciate the work you guys do here
(23:25:01) Mouser_X: Though, HCS is at home now, so he's on dial-up until he gets back to college for another semester.
(23:25:10) Soap2 [n=zapzip@ip.deleted.look.for.it.yourself.asshole] entered the room.
(23:25:26) Soap2: hiccup
(23:25:28) Mouser_X: As such, you won't see him here as often.
(23:25:35) Mouser_X: Though, HCS is at home now, so he's on dial-up until he gets back to college for another semester.
(23:25:43) Mouser_X: (In case you missed that)
(23:25:55) Soap2: I'm not too familiar with everybody here
(23:25:57) Mouser_X: (Flip those last two posts, also.)
(23:26:19) Mouser_X: anewuser has been here for a long time, but rarely, if ever posts on the forums.
(23:26:36) Mouser_X: BHSPitMonkey hails from #wiili, where I mentioned GC audio.
(23:26:51) Mouser_X: cptspiff is a developer for the Xbox media Center.
(23:26:57) Mouser_X: He ported in_cube to it.
(23:27:10) Mouser_X: DrO is a Winamp plugin developer.
(23:27:28) Mouser_X: He made in_zip, which is an excellent companion for xSF sets.
(23:27:46) Soap2 is now known as Waluigi-Soap
(23:27:50) Mouser_X: (It read the files straight from the archive, so that you don't have to extract it.)
(23:28:03) Waluigi-Soap: That's convenient
(23:28:17) Mouser_X: ratix I must admit I'm not entirely familiar with.
(23:28:30) Mouser_X: RattleMan has been here just about as long as anewuser.
(23:28:35) Mouser_X: Perhaps longer.
(23:28:43) RattleMan: Possibly
(23:28:55) Mouser_X: TeknoJuce is involved in the in_cube XBMC port.
(23:29:14) Mouser_X: [UF promotion deleted]
(23:29:25) Mouser_X: [UF promotion deleted]
(23:29:27) Mouser_X: (;P)

Welcome to the club, and I hope you become a regular here :)

This comes from #rockbox. And thus, the one-eyed smiley was born. Chances are I won't use it often, due to laziness, and poor memory.

Anyway, I hope you found that at least somewhat funny. I did. Mouser X over and out.
ufbot rebirth? by unknownfile at 2:32 PM EST on January 12, 2007
I'm planning on ressurecting the ultra-useless UFBot in a more useful form. Features I'm planning are:

- 100% C++ code
- xSF set updates from USF and GSF Central
- Google searching
- HCS Forum integration
- More hosting time, courtesy of Sea

So, what do you say?

(00:36:51) Mouser_X: How true.

I'm currently just writing it to have it connect to the server and stay connected until the connection dies.

It's been renamed due to the fact that UFBot is too bland.

<hcs> it should be applicable to any situation
<hcs> *why* couldn't you come up with an excuse
hcs has changed the topic to: Ultra 64 Sound Format -/ http://www.hcs64.com/usf - http://www.hcs64.com/in_cube.html - Excuse of The Day: Planck's Constant.
<hcs> is one possible excuse
<hcs> you can't argue with Planck's Constant, and it very well may have prevented you from coming up with a reasonable excsuse
<hcs> Similarly, I would have accepted Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, or possible the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
<hcs> The Permittivity of Free Space might be pushing it.

(07:57:08) Vague_Rant: The new Wii channel is fucking boring.
Pot party + bus shelter = good conversation fodder by unknownfile at 11:07 PM EST on February 23, 2007
(22:50:15) UNKNOWNFILE: I was coming home from school by way of bus, which I barely ever do.
(22:50:22) UNKNOWNFILE: Dad's in Montreal, seeing his brothers.
(22:50:40) Aurakitsune|Wii [i=axairc@x] entered the room.
(22:50:44) UNKNOWNFILE: Anyways, there were some kids huddled inside of the bus shelter, passing a joint around.
(22:50:56) Aurakitsune|Wii is now known as Bunnies_can_danc
(22:50:58) UNKNOWNFILE: There's a highschool nearby, so this comes as no surprise.
(22:51:03) Bunnies_can_danc: ...lawl
(22:51:06) Bunnies_can_danc: o_e;
(22:51:12) UNKNOWNFILE: However, I have to question this.
(22:51:19) Bunnies_can_danc is now known as Aurakitsune
(22:51:25) UNKNOWNFILE: Why were they smoking pot inside of a bus shelter?
(22:51:39) Waluigi-Soap: Because they need their asses kicked
(22:51:48) UNKNOWNFILE: I mean, there were like 5 of them, playing puff the magic dragon, inside of a fucking bus shelter.
(22:52:05) UNKNOWNFILE: But a bus shelter of all places
(22:52:25) UNKNOWNFILE: Why couldn't they just do it at the local rave?
(22:52:46) UNKNOWNFILE: I'm not against the use of pot, but this is just too funny not to talk about.
(22:53:37) UNKNOWNFILE: Your thoughts (if any)?
(22:54:05) Waluigi-Soap: Like I said, they need their asses kicked
(22:54:14) UNKNOWNFILE: but why
(22:54:46) Waluigi-Soap: They're messing up my atmosphere
(22:54:53) UNKNOWNFILE: heh
(22:55:06) UNKNOWNFILE: Still, why the bus shelter
(22:55:20) Waluigi-Soap: Maybe it was raining
(22:55:27) Waluigi-Soap: or they were waiting for the bus
(22:55:36) UNKNOWNFILE: Explain why I got off at that stop then
(22:55:51) Waluigi-Soap: Wasn't the right bus
(22:55:52) UNKNOWNFILE: and why there was another bus pulling away from the stop when my bus arrived
(22:56:19) UNKNOWNFILE: There are several routes that take the street that is nearest me, going east-west.
(22:57:07) UNKNOWNFILE: The ones going east go to Oriole GO, U of T Scarborough and some place where old people live.
(22:57:22) UNKNOWNFILE: ALL of the buses going west go to a subway station.
(22:57:43) UNKNOWNFILE: And, when I got off, the bus was going westbound.
(22:58:09) UNKNOWNFILE: So I have no idea why these kids were smoking splif inside of a bus shelter.
(22:58:10) Waluigi-Soap: I ran out of ideas
(22:59:02) UNKNOWNFILE: What's going to happen in that bus shelter next, a 100-man gang bang?
(22:59:17) Waluigi-Soap: I don't think a bus shelter is large enough for that
(23:00:08) UNKNOWNFILE: with expansion, it has potential.
(23:00:27) Waluigi-Soap: I don't think a bus shelter would be expanded
(23:00:34) UNKNOWNFILE: It could be.
(23:00:47) UNKNOWNFILE: Let me find a stock picture of a bus shelter in this city
(23:02:15) UNKNOWNFILE: http://transit.toronto.on.ca/archives/data/images/050705_ttc_shelter_250.jpg <-- there.
(23:02:34) UNKNOWNFILE: The one nearest my house doesn't have a seat.
(23:02:41) Waluigi-Soap: that's very.. glassy
(23:02:48) UNKNOWNFILE: Sure, 100 men in there would be impossible
(23:03:19) Waluigi-Soap: http://www.adrants.com/images/ikea_custom_bench.jpg best picture I could find of ours
(23:03:29) UNKNOWNFILE: but the people smoking pot in there may make the capacity at around 10.
(23:03:41) Waluigi-Soap: minus the nice stuff of course
(23:03:53) UNKNOWNFILE: This is somewhere in the States, I take it.
(23:03:59) Waluigi-Soap: Yeah
(23:04:39) UNKNOWNFILE: I find the whole pot-smoking incident quite funny.
(23:04:50) UNKNOWNFILE: If I have a camera next time, I should take a picture.
(23:04:56) UNKNOWNFILE: But that'll just get me beaten up.
(23:05:20) Waluigi-Soap: Nah
(23:05:29) Waluigi-Soap: They're too involved in their pot smoking to do that
(23:05:33) UNKNOWNFILE: yeah
(23:05:51) Waluigi-Soap: they're doing it in a bus shelter to begin with they probably won't care anyway

by Mouser X at 11:49 PM EDT on August 20, 2007
Well, I've been looking for a Wii compatible IRC client, but so far the only one I've seen forces me onto the Efnet server. Do note that since I'm on the Wii, I have no "enter" key. Therefore to be Wii compatible, i need a "send" button, or something like that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there someone who can get on #usf and ask in there (they might have some ideas)? Anyway, if anyone is wondering (and reads this) my computer's power supply has won the "MASSIVE FAILURE" award. As such, if it powers up at all, it doesn't stay powered up long enough to get into WinXP. This is why I'm using the Wii browser, until I can get a new power supply.

So, any suggestions for a Wii compatible means of getting on #usf? Such information would be appreciated. Mouser X over and out.

Steal your brother's computer.
by Mouser X at 7:58 PM EDT on August 21, 2007
Heh. While he does have 3 computers in his room (that I can think of), I'm pretty sure he'd notice if I "barrowed" any of them. So I don't think that's a viable solution.

In regards to real solutions though, I called Shuttle (they're the ones who made my case, motherboard, and power supply) today, in an attempt to buy a new power supply. I called to late though, so I talked to tech support instead. The guy I talked to told me that if I use a paper clip to bridge 2 wires on the power supply (after unplugging it from the motherboard, of course), then I could test the power supply to see if that is where the problem is. Currently, I'm not actually 100% sure that the power supply is at fault. Indications are that the power supply has gone bad, but it's possible that it's something on the motherboard which is actually at fault, and that whatever that may be is causing the power supply to fail/overheat.

So, now I need to find a paper clip... I think that I'm hoping it's the power supply, since a new one would be cheaper than buying a new system. On the other hand, if it's the motherboard, then now would be a good time to upgrade to a system that can run PCSX2 at full speed (for some games, of course)...

Anyway, that's where I'm at right now. I guess I should hunt down a paper clip, or something like that... Mouser X over and out.
by marioman at 7:13 AM EDT on August 22, 2007
Just watch out when testing that power supply. That paper clip method sounds a little unsafe. I am actually surprised that the tech support guy recommended that.
by snakemeat at 11:48 AM EDT on August 22, 2007
I have to agree, that sounds like a warranty voiding suggestion; a dangerous one at that.
by Mouser X at 8:12 PM EDT on August 22, 2007
Well, I bought the computer over 2 years ago, and therefore it's not under warranty anyway. So, no worry there. Also, I'm not creating a short (which is possibly what the power supply is already suffering from). I'm bridging a connection, so that the power supply thinks that it's connected to the mother board. With older power supplies, this was unecessary, since they'd power up regardless if the were connected to the mb or not. With the "new" power supplies, they're built such that they're partially integrated into the mb. As such, if it's not connected to the mb, it won't power on, because it won't have the mb telling it what to do (the "new" power supplies can regulate voltage, initiate shut down, or complete power off if a problem is detected. However, most of that is controlled by, and depends on, the type of mb it's plugged into).

In other words, bridging the connection will only power on the power supply. And, since it won't be plugged into the mb (I'm sure I clarified that in my previous post), there's no worry of problems to that unit.

On top of that, my dad has been a computer specialist for about 30 years, and he voiced no concern over it, and in fact thought it was a useful suggestion (under the circumstances that is. He wouldn't normally agree with your average tech-support person).

In all, I see no reason to be concerned. My biggest concern is getting the wrong 2 wires connected. However, the tech guy said to bridge the green wire (he said there's only 1 in the whole power supply), with any of the black ones. Also, since it's already unuseable, it's not like I could make it worse.

The end result is, everything I know about power supplies (including personal experience) indicates that it won't power up when not plugged into a mb, As such, some method must be used to force power up, w/out a mb. This is the only method I've ever heard of that would do that.

Do you have any suggestions? Wii text buffer = full, Mouser X over and out.
by marioman at 9:50 PM EDT on August 22, 2007
OK, as long as you're being safe about it, and your dad agrees that it will be a good idea, I guess it will be all right. Good luck.
by snakemeat at 11:29 PM EDT on August 22, 2007
Sounds like you have researched this pretty well. It sounds similar to how my setup works with two power supplies. There is a special adapter that connects the black and green wires together so both stay on using a single mobo slot. Best of luck.
by Mouser X at 12:36 AM EDT on August 23, 2007
In #usf, Supakitsune asked if anyone had a NGC BBA, and PSO 1&2. I'd like to clarify, for him, that he's asking for the original release of PSO, and not PSO 1&2 Plus (I have the Plus v.).

In saying this, I'd like it to be noted that I got the BBA so that I could play Mario Kart online using Warpipe. And, I didn't get PSO for the reasons he's asking for it. I didn't learn of that use until 2 months after I got PSO.

Something to look into, though, is modchips. There are certain ones (I don't know which ones) that can use an added USB connection, instead of the BBA. I've heard that it's considerably faster as well.

Or, you can use the newest method (this is how the Wii games are being ripped). With the right PC DVD drive, and modded firmware for that drive, you can achieve the same results with a computer. Since Wii and NGC disks use the same format (a modified DVD header), both can be ripped with that setup. And no, I have no idea where to get modchips, nor do I know where to find the modified DVD firmware.

Blast, it's getting really annoying not being able to use my PC... On that note, I did bridge the green (PS-ON, according to the pin-out diagram I looked at) wire w/the black (ground, as I had expected) wire, and nothing happened. Thus, I am, again, lead to believe that the power supply is dead (this has been my belief for the last 2 weeks or so. This test simply strengthens that belief).

Also, I ran the test first, since I had no need to research. Everything I've said (excluding the pin-out diagram, which I looked at after I ran the test) is stuff I learned about years ago, when working on other computers. I still have some "old (as in, nearly 10 yrs. old)" power supplies because they can be used as external power supplies, since they don't require a mb to be attached. Excluding my mb, that's how my PC is being powered now. My hardware kept failing on the internal supply. I guess now I know why. Mouser X over and out.

I would just like to point out that I do check the logs occasionally. Thanks HCS and anewuser for the links. I'll definitely look into them more when I have more time. And since I'm mentioning it anyway, here's a link from #usf. I got some good laughs from most of it - http://www.jessethegreat.com/potd.html.

[EDIT] Wow! So, this thread hasn't been touched in awhile... Sorry about that... Well, since it's now "Rise[d] from [it's] grave" I'll also post a link to the logs (since Google doesn't seem to be able to find them). http://hcs64.no-ip.org/logbot/usf/

I'll edit/remove the link if you want me to, HCS. Mouser X over and out.
