00:01.22sorphinfile[wifi]: uh oh
00:01.48file[wifi]2k3 is binary compatible with drivers from XP, so if I replace 2k3's driver cabinet file with that of XP after install...
00:02.03ricmmpeople i need some help
00:02.08sorphinfile[wifi]: you'll get both pieces ;)
00:02.20file[wifi]sorphin: mmm, I wonder if it would then recognize my soundcard
00:02.56sorphinfile[wifi]: what kind?
00:03.05file[wifi]ISA Soundblaster 16 :)
00:03.11ricmmmy processor data sheet says that CompactFlash Card #1 I/O is mapped in kernel-memory at 0F00_0000
00:03.23ricmmso there are the I/O ports right?
00:03.53sorphinfile[wifi]: ah.. dunno it wouldn't see it anyway
00:04.08ricmmcan someone help me hehe
00:04.22file[wifi]sorphin: Microsorft took out the drivers in 2k3
00:04.23sorphinricmm: not my area, sorry
00:04.33sorphinfile[wifi]: so don't run 2k3 :P
00:04.51file[wifi]sorphin: but... it's like... something new...
00:05.36ricmmsorphin: np
00:05.55sorphinfile[wifi]: XP's working fine for me
00:06.07sorphinfile[wifi]: well, aside from when i HW upgraded, i had to argue w/ it
00:06.29file[wifi]I should try XP actually
00:06.50sorphinfile[wifi]: meant for multimedia
00:07.05sorphinfile[wifi]: got version here w/ SP1 integrated :P
00:07.33sorphinfile[wifi]: Pro = corporate
00:07.35sorphinwhich is what i got
00:07.52sorphinhandy having SP1 in it
00:07.56file[wifi]uh huh
00:08.02sorphincuz of the whole product code crap :P
00:08.43file[wifi]I think I fouled up group policies...
00:43.15file[wifi]sorphin: I had an evil thought to get 2k3 working with my audio...
00:43.47file[wifi]if I replace the sound blaster live driver in the driver cabinet, with my SB16 - then force the audio to be installed using the sound blaster live entry...
00:46.52sorphinworth a try i suppose
00:48.56file[wifi]sorphin: oh... I've got 802.11b now :)
00:49.13sorphincool
00:49.52sorphini don't
00:51.31file[wifi]'tis nice
00:51.37file[wifi]I got an original DWL-650 card with Prism2 chipset
00:51.52file[wifi]flashed it to so high of firmware it can't even be considered Dlink anymore, LOL
00:52.05sorphinnod
00:52.19file[wifi]their latest was 0.8.3, but I flashed it up to 1.5.4
00:52.23sorphinonly wireless around here is proxim symphony to connect mom's box upstairs at the back of the house to my network
00:52.26sorphinand in my laptop
00:52.33sorphineverything else is in a rack
00:52.38sorphinso wireless is useless to me
00:52.54file[wifi]I use it for my laptop
00:53.31sorphinwell, this was substantially cheaper when i got it, and does the job
00:53.42sorphinthe things using it only hit my dsl
00:53.47sorphinand since my DSL is 1MBit
00:53.51sorphinas is this 'wireless'
00:53.53sorphinit fits

03:28.10TimRikerandersee: ever messed with keys for dns updates?
03:28.49TimRikerI'm reading up on it, and it looks like I could master rikers.org here and with a shared key update it on your and marc's boxes
03:28.53TimRiker(or is that boxen)
03:29.53TimRikerhttp://www.shakabuku.org/writing/dyndns.html <- has some info but speaks from a single update not a domain transfer
03:52.51anderseeTimRiker: Tried it once
03:53.01anderseeTimRiker: Didn;t get it working
03:53.45TimRikerbummer.
03:54.10TimRikerfound a few references do doing host updates, but no real clear info on doing domain transfers
03:56.06TimRikerdynamic ips suck
03:56.13anderseeTimRiker: yep
03:56.34anderseeTimRiker: My Dad's law office was on dyndns for a long time
03:57.01anderseeTimRiker: I tried to get the dns key stuff working, but gave up in frusteration
03:57.19anderseeTimRiker: Poor or missing docs, and incomprehensible source...
03:57.58anderseeTimRiker: you would think _someone_ would have documented it by now
03:58.34anderseeTimRiker: I've had similar problems trying to get ipsec going between Linux and Win2k/Xp
03:59.21anderseeTimRiker: It least with that there are howtos though
03:59.35anderseeTimRiker: So when I get time, I'm sure that can be done
03:59.40anderseeBut
03:59.42TimRikerhttp://ops.ietf.org/dns/dynupd/secure-ddns-howto.html <- a bit more info
04:00.10anderseewow, someone wrote a howto
04:00.26anderseecool
04:00.36TimRikerheh. not as clear as if could be, but I think I'll try it out.
04:08.59*** mode/#elinux [+o TimRiker] by ChanServ
05:08.00sorphinnot via the crap in BIND tho
05:13.08TimRikerthe issue is that I want rikers.org to point to the dyn ip
05:14.36anderseeTimRiker: What I ended up doing for my dad's law office was write a custom /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks for dhcpc
05:15.34anderseeI had the script check if the current IP address was different than then last IP stored, and if it had changed, I'd update the dyndns record
05:20.26TimRikeryeah... I might end up there.
05:20.50TimRikerI've got ddclient in my dhclient-exit-hooks already.
05:21.37TimRikerjust not looking forward to doing a ssh to winder, editing n zone files, and a sudo all from that script.
05:22.31anderseeTimRiker: yeah, don't do that.
05:22.33andersee:-)
05:23.25sorphinhehe
05:24.13sorphinheh
05:24.34TimRikerso, got a suggestion?
05:25.02TimRikerzone can't be a cname, so I need to touch the A for each,
05:26.20anderseeTimRiker: Well...
05:27.03anderseelemme think
05:28.08sorphinyeah
05:28.14sorphini don't' even use cnames anymore
05:29.08anderseeTimRiker: any updates need to be driven from your end, as only your end knows the correct ip
05:29.51TimRikerI was hoping to talk bind into accepting signed axfrs from a dynamic ip, but it looks like "masters" will not take a wildcard, and must be included.
05:30.49anderseeTimRiker: if we had, say, a vpn, then we could have a script run whenever you reconnect....
05:31.26TimRikerssh wider "sed ... ; sudo bind restart" etc only when my IP changes. that's the best I can come up with. should be very infrequent.
05:32.09TimRikerhmm. could vpn the two nets and do vpn from a dyn ip. sounds like a lot more hassle though.
05:32.10anderseeTimRiker: best to implement the thinking on the server side.  Just leave the connecting to your box...
05:32.28TimRikerandersee: huh?
05:32.35anderseeFor example...
05:33.05anderseeThe wireless bridge in my wife's office downstars connects up to winder using vtun
05:33.38anderseeEvery time it connects, I run a script to re setup the bridge
05:33.58anderseei.e. the very act of connecting triggers a script on the server side
05:34.06TimRikerhave to do this for marcs box too.
05:34.41TimRikerthough I could update him from you, but then what if you are down? ;-)
05:35.04anderseeTimRiker: I dunno
05:35.57anderseeTimRiker: but the dual cpu rack mount from california digital that is sitting on my floor will be co-located real soon now, and certainly could provide fail-over
05:36.00TimRikercould run a cronjob on winder that checks timriker.dyndns.org and updates locally, but that's a waste for how rarely it updates, and it would lag anyway.
05:37.12TimRikerjust wish I could talk bind into being a slave from 0.0.0.0/0 ;-)
05:37.32anderseeTimRiker: How about an obscurely named cgi script on winder.  It accepts no args.  Just checks if timriker.dyndns.org changed, and updates dns
05:37.59anderseeTimRiker: then, you hit that from /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
05:38.24TimRikerssh with a known local key that has command="fixmystinkingdns" would be easier.
05:38.27anderseeAnd if anyone else happens to hit the cgi, who cares.
05:38.35anderseeTimRiker: true
05:39.02anderseeI suppose that is yet another form of vpn triggered update
05:39.05andersee:-)
05:39.08TimRiker;-)
05:40.07TimRikerhave to script touching the serial numbers too. ugh.
05:40.24anderseeTimRiker: eww
05:40.30anderseeTimRiker: that could be dangerous
05:40.32andersee:-(
05:41.03TimRikermight just make winder and mecworks masters with no-update and then update the files locally and scp them all. though I suppose that's wasted bandwidth.
05:41.12anderseeImagine if it set it to 9999999999
05:41.29TimRikerI guess I still need to write the script, it might as well run on winder and marc's.
05:42.06TimRikerandersee: heh. that's why I'm testing on kaii.org where I would not care much. ;-)
05:42.54anderseeTimRiker: I've got plenty of bandwidth...  And scp'ing is not gonna be worse than a zone transfer...
05:43.20TimRikertrue that.
05:43.38anderseeWhich is the alternative (if we could figure out the bind key handling stuff)
05:45.18TimRikerI figure I start with `date +"%Y%m%d"` * 100 and increment till larger than the # in the file.
05:46.19TimRikermaybe die at `date +"%Y%m%d"` + 1 * 100 or something just to be sure.
05:46.42anderseeStore a local counter.  Increment it on each update.
05:46.49anderseeThen zero it with cron
05:46.53anderseeonce per day
05:47.20anderseeIf you do more than 100 updates per day, you have other problems
05:47.22TimRikerthen I'll forget to update the counter when I do a manual update.
05:47.22andersee:-)
05:47.50anderseeUse your script when posting updates
05:50.23TimRikeryeah...

15:57.32TomWok
15:58.37prpplagueTomW: the connectors should be here tuesday, and i'll ship two out to you same day
15:59.20file[wifi]same day right away
15:59.54prpplaguefile[wifi]: this is biz, not charity
16:00.01prpplaguefile[wifi]: :)
16:00.25TomWyeah, I was looking at those card engines on the SODIMM and was thinking about doing something like that with the Sharp LH79520 processor.
16:00.25TomWI like the fact that you can get the processor directly from Digikey, then I don't have to go beg samples.
16:00.25TomWI was also looking at the SMSC 91C111 10/100 ethernet chip, nice chip.
16:00.45prpplagueTomW: yea, very nice
16:01.04prpplagueTomW: i've collected a list of 17 sodimm cards that will work with this board so far
16:01.59TomWprpplague: thing that I am concerned about is those 80 pin high-density connectors that the card engines use.  Are we going to have to put them on the board as well?
16:02.53prpplagueTomW: are you talking about the expansion connector on the logicpd boards?
16:03.05TomWyeh
16:04.10TomWI don't know how well they will fit in with using other cards.
16:04.13prpplagueTomW: no, not gonna do those
16:04.22TomWnod
16:04.25prpplagueTomW: just the sodimm socket
16:04.36prpplagueTomW: did you look over the rough diagram i sent?
16:04.58TomWprpplague: ok, that poses enough of it's own problems.  good, keep the issues to a minimum.
16:05.36TomWprpplague: yeah, got the diagram.  I won't know how feasable it would be to do until I start laying it out.
16:06.21prpplagueTomW: ok, nothing is fixed as far as location, just needs the items
16:06.50TomWok, just get the connectors and then I can start laying it out then.
16:07.02prpplagueTomW: will do
16:07.17Russfile[wifi]: are you aware of what time it is?
16:07.25prpplagueTomW: http://wwwapps.ups.com/tracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=1Z5674320396607627
16:09.47TomWprpplague: heh, guess that I'd better do that upgrade for the Eagle CAD before the stuff gets here then.
16:16.34chouimathi TomW
16:18.01TomWchouimat: good afternoon
16:29.44file[wifi]Russ: it's 1:28PM
16:29.56file[wifi]oh wait, silly language barrier
16:29.59file[wifi]dinner = lunch
16:36.30Russweirdo
16:37.49Russis it your "principle meal of the day"?
16:38.56CosmicPixilin principle, its correct to use principal
16:39.06Russit is, my bad
17:17.25file[wifi]haha, I just crashed an entire user session - and all other user sessions on gecko weren't affected
18:17.31prpplagueCosmicPixil: ping
18:20.33file[wifi]pong
18:24.17CosmicPixilpong
18:25.05prpplagueCosmicPixil: Fl::args
18:25.22prpplagueCosmicPixil: you use that?
18:25.23CosmicPixilyes?
18:26.13prpplagueCosmicPixil:
18:26.41prpplagueCosmicPixil: oops, lol, anyway, i guess i'm blind today because i don't see it in the fltk docs
18:30.31CosmicPixilactually, I sort of lied = I very rarely use it, I prefer to parse my own args, ya know?
18:31.06prpplagueCosmicPixil: yea
18:35.26prpplagueCosmicPixil: something odd though, when i use my own parser, i get a command line message from the app like a usage statement

18:46.00prpplagueanyone want to give me their $.02 on using global variables in small userland apps?
18:48.04prpplagueman irc is quite today
18:51.16CosmicPixilexplain your previous statement
18:53.15prpplagueCosmicPixil: got a variable that needs to be accessed in 2 or 3 functions, rather than pass the variable to the function put it as a global decleration
18:54.06prpplagueCosmicPixil: it feels lazy and not very modular
18:58.49prpplagueCosmicPixil: 1.  item_desc->value(getdata());
18:58.54prpplagueCosmicPixil: or
18:59.09prpplagueCosmicPixil: 2. getdata(item_desc);
18:59.38prpplagueCosmicPixil: which one is a clearer/proper
19:01.19file[wifi]prpplague: better than underthinking... or is it?
19:03.48prpplaguefile[wifi]: well it slows things down since i don't have a single person who knows how to code respectibly within 100 miles
19:04.02file[wifi]prpplague: you need some minions

20:34.27kergothhmm, itd be sweet if start-stop-daemon could, via a --respawn option, tell init to setup this daemon as a respawn item, ala inittab
20:50.17prpplaguekergoth: thats the way we have digi tty's
20:51.19kergoth?
20:51.21kergothelaborate
20:51.46prpplaguekergoth: we list all ttys in the inittab and i have a little service script that your can call to change the entry from off to respawn and off again
20:52.04prpplaguekergoth: i assume thats what you are talking about
20:52.10prpplaguekergoth: something similiar to that
