16:08.56CosmicPenguinTomW: morning
16:09.49TomWI went to a Men's Retreat Weekend, all I can say is that those freakin' pallets at the monastery are hard to get comfortable on!
16:10.57TomWCosmicPenguin: I've done nothing but sleep since I got back Sunday.
16:11.13chouimathey TomW
16:11.20TomWchouimat: hey
16:12.16CosmicPenguinTomW: wow - I just sat around this weekend and watched football
16:12.17TomWNow that I have gotten caught up with: voice mail, email, and the comic strips, it is time to get back to work.  :(
16:13.01TomWCosmicPenguin: better than watching the Marlins kick the Yankees ass?
16:13.30CosmicPenguinI didn't even watch that
16:13.48TomWheh, neither did I, I don't care for baseball.
16:14.12TomWnow, football is a whole 'nother matter...
16:14.17CosmicPenguinFootball is really the only sport i will sit down and watch on a regular basis
16:14.26chouimatok bbl time for foreign language studies
16:14.54CosmicPenguinI usually try to watch postseason baseball and hockey, but only if there is a good story going
16:15.04TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah, nerds like to see rough-n-tumble action, not a bunch of pansies dressed in white suits "play nice".
16:15.14chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin: but
16:15.14chouimat|afkonly if there is a good story going
16:15.41chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin but  only if there is a good story going? sound like the argument to watch a pr0n :)
16:15.43CosmicPenguinAnd lets not discuss basketball - I used to think that MLB was the worst run league in the US, but the NBA has far surpassed it
16:16.00TomWheh
16:16.05CosmicPenguinNot to mention that the Jazz are expected to only win 9 games this year
16:17.29CosmicPenguinBut I'm passionate about University of Utah sports - our football team is decent, and our basketball team always does well in the post season
16:17.33CosmicPenguinSO thats something to look forward to
16:17.39TomWlets' see, todays Plan for the Day: backup database at car dealer, finish proposal to customer for new controller, wait for T1 gateway to die again, ..., oh! and do laundry!
16:18.02chouimat|afkprofessional sport used to be a family activity but with the salaries they pay the players now ... nobody can't affford 7 tickets for a game
16:19.00CosmicPenguinWhat is it about intel, that they can't name their PDFs anything other than an useless 7 digit number?
16:19.13chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin: hehe

16:20.09CosmicPenguinTomW: thats great - but toss us non internal document sytem people a bone
16:20.15CosmicPenguinI've got 12 pdfs here, all starting with 2
16:20.47chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin try mv ;)
16:21.01CosmicPenguinm....v?
16:21.08CosmicPenguinI do not know of this 'mv' that you speak... :)
16:21.13TomWCosmicPenguin: mooooov
16:21.15CosmicPenguinI would rather piss and moan, if thats ok with you
16:21.32CosmicPenguinTomW: its an automatic cow caller?  Wow!  
16:21.33TomWthe 'e' is silent

16:48.54chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin: how hard is pixil to learn?
16:52.34CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: Pixil is a loose association of different programs
16:52.56CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: so understanding the window manager is different then trying to understand the PIM
16:53.04CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: any specifics on what you are interested in?
16:57.43chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin programming it
17:05.43CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: the GUI?
17:05.51CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: the IPC server?  the database?
17:06.04CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: Microwindows apps?
17:06.12CosmicPenguinchouimat|afk: pims?
17:06.33chouimat|afkanything
17:08.31CosmicPenguinOk
17:08.47CosmicPenguinwell, Microwindows is pretty clear if you have X experience
17:09.15CosmicPenguinThe PIMs are a bit more complicated, first you need to understand the FLTK engine, and then go from there
17:09.28CosmicPenguinThe other stuff is pretty basic
17:09.32chouimat|afkok it's all I needed to know
17:11.34CosmicPenguinIf you are really serious about learning about the PIMs -  my highest priority is replacing the current database with a sqllite engine
17:11.47CosmicPenguinThats a trial by fire
17:12.18CosmicPenguinOr, you can look at the sync engine and figure out how we can write a gnome-pilot module for it
17:12.26CosmicPenguinOr a SyncML engine
17:12.47chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin: ok i have some stuff to finish first ... a kitchensync konnector would be easier for me
17:13.57CosmicPenguinThat would be fine
17:14.18chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin and maybe a kdevelop template ...
17:14.50CosmicPenguinThat would be sacreligous to both KDE and FLTK developers wouldn't it?
17:15.13chouimat|afkCosmicPenguin: no there is a wxwindows template in gideon
17:15.49CosmicPenguininteresting
17:16.46kergotharent there patent issues with syncml?
17:17.06CosmicPenguinIf you are interested in learning Microwindows, we need more work on the nxlib so it will compile and run QT aps
17:17.16CosmicPenguinkergoth: I thought those were resolved?
17:17.40kergothcould be, im outta the loop.
17:23.04CosmicPenguinWhatever works for syncing I guess
17:23.24CosmicPenguinBut the database really needs to be replaced before syncing makes sense

21:46.25CosmicPenguinSomebody who is StrongArm / XScale intellgent help me out here
21:46.44CosmicPenguinThe IOP30821 has a DMA unit that can accelerate memory-to-memory copies
21:46.44Russwhat?
21:47.20CosmicPenguinBut it has to be cache aligned, and only copies of a size that is a multiple of the cache width are allowed
21:48.12CosmicPenguinAlso, the memcpy() macro checks to see if the size of the copy is less than 768 bytes, and if it is, it passes it to the standard assembly based memcpy instead
21:48.48CosmicPenguinI'm trying to figure out if 768 is a number that has some meaning with regard to the cache, or if it is some arbitrary number that the intel folks thought up over beers one day
21:49.52Russdoes anything else happen during the dma copy (ie, a contexct switch)?
21:50.19CosmicPenguinNot by design
21:50.33CosmicPenguinIt spins waiting for the dma engine to complete
21:51.12CosmicPenguinwhile(register not set) udelay(1);
21:51.14Russmaybe the engine has a setup time?
21:51.40Russmaybe about 768 bytes are copied in one udelay?
21:51.55CosmicPenguinThats what I was trying to determine - if the number 768 had something to do with the speed of the engine
21:52.05CosmicPenguinIf so, I would assume that the number was reached after testing
21:52.53CosmicPenguinIts not a big deal - but I just know the first thing my client is going to ask is.... why is there a 768 byte threshold
