06:41.35TomWRuss: yeah, it'll give the ladies something else to do than watch LifeTime TV
06:42.28TomWor, maybe they will be basing the games on WinCE and you'll cry when it crashes?
07:03.52sorphinheh
07:03.54sorphinproly
07:05.58TomWsorphin: maybe now that they have the feedback joystick they are going to include subliminal imagery to invoke emotion from the players?

14:53.57sjhilli should NOT have to add NOP's in TLB miss handlers
14:54.04sjhillsorphin: can't say
14:54.27sorphinsjhill: heh, not like there's a zillion choices :P
15:18.44CosmicPenguinmallum_: I'm not sure if this has been fixed in CVS, but if no font is specified in mbdesktop, it defaults to 'Sans Serif-8:bold'.  Shouldn't that be #ifdefed with USE_XFT and 'fixed'used for non XFT builds?
15:19.34mallum_CosmicPenguin: yeah your right
15:19.55sorphinmallum_: afternoon mate
15:20.01mallum_sorphin: fuck off
15:20.13mallum_sorphin: oh... I mean hell there young fella
15:20.46CosmicPenguinWhat are they striking against?
15:20.51sorphinchouimat: striking against celine?
15:21.21sorphinchouimat: who btw.. last night on the billboard awards looked.. exceptionally nasty
15:21.45chouimatsorphin:  don't know was sick with 103F of fever so I stayed in bed ...
15:21.54CosmicPenguinsorphin: got a picture?
15:22.06sorphinchouimat: hair was.... light light blond, and the dress didn't leave much :P
15:22.25sorphinCosmicPenguin: nope, and dunno if anyone takes pics at billboard
15:23.00CosmicPenguinsorphin: probably not worth it
15:23.11chouimatsorphin: the strike is against a modification of the Quebec works law ... so technically every working member of the big union don't work today so Quebec is nearly closed till tomorrow at noon
15:24.15chouimatsorphin: we start too look more like France everyday
15:26.01CosmicPenguinchouimat: you start to smell like em too
15:26.15CosmicPenguin:)
15:26.25chouimatCosmicPenguin: no I know what a shower is ... it's the bidet I have a problem with
15:26.35mallum_bidets rock
15:26.45sjhilli've never tried one
15:26.58sjhillmaybe when i'm in EU again
15:27.04CosmicPenguinMy parents had one when i was a kid - a very interesting concept
15:27.15mallum_we have one at my moms
15:27.21sorphinmallum_: there's a thing over here now called the washlet by toto.. basically an electronic toilet thing that does it at the push of a button
15:27.22mallum_dont think its ever been used
15:27.35mallum_the toilets in Japan are nuts
15:28.12chouimatmallum_: I liked the toilet in switzerland ... they have a small robotic arm that clean the seat after every usage
15:28.34mallum_thats nice
15:29.11sorphinmallum_: this one puts the seat down by itself, the seat is heated, it has a warm spray and apparently an osillating one for your gf :P
15:29.14sorphinor wife
15:29.17sorphinas the case may be
15:30.07chouimatwow\
15:32.25CosmicPenguinThat would freak me out
15:33.40chouimatnow we need one that detect when a pet enter the bathroom and flush before it drink in it
15:34.07CosmicPenguinmallum_: why does minitime need Xft?  Is that easily changeable?
15:34.26CosmicPenguinchouimat: all I want to do is train my next cat to use the toilet
15:34.57chouimatCosmicPenguin: I tried with mine .... and give up ... i think learning MFC is easier
15:35.24mallum_CosmicPenguin: Cos minitime automatically calculates font size based on the size of the parent panel. I was too lazy to rewrite the code for the X core font case
15:36.44mallum_CosmicPenguin: the desktop does set font based on XFT;
15:36.47mallum_#ifdef USE_XFT
15:36.47mallum_#define FONT_DESC       "Sans Serif-7:bold"
15:36.47mallum_#define FONT_TITLE_DESC "Sans Serif-8:bold"
15:36.47mallum_#else
15:36.47mallum_#define FONT_DESC       "fixed"
15:36.49mallum_#define FONT_TITLE_DESC "fixed"
15:36.50chouimathttp://www.westmiller.com/fairvote2k/IN_GERRY.HTM <--- what is this?
15:36.51mallum_#endif
15:42.21CosmicPenguinmallum_: mbdesktop.c:850 if (!font_user_set) font_def = "Sans Serif-8:bold";
15:43.56mallum_CosmicPenguin: ok, Im crap
15:44.13mallum_CosmicPenguin: I like to make defines and then never actually use them ...
15:45.21mallum_CosmicPenguin: I have fixed it. will commit in a mo
15:46.04CosmicPenguinmallum_: :)
15:55.33CosmicPenguinI reallly want to keep this image under 8MB, so I can use genext2fs...
15:58.50CosmicPenguinsorphin: what do you use for CFs then?
15:59.14mallum_CosmicPenguin: what are you making the image for ?
15:59.46CosmicPenguinmallum_: C3 based platform with CF media
16:00.32mallum_CosmicPenguin: c3 as in mini-itx
16:00.44CosmicPenguinmallum_: yep
16:01.10CosmicPenguinmallum_: And about the platform, let me just say that these people make telecommunications equipment, and there's a picture of the space shuttle on their home page
16:01.11sorphinwhat little i use cf/sm/sd/mmc, etc.. it's usually fat, on normal things i use xfs
16:02.02mallum_CosmicPenguin: you will have to give me bigger clue

16:02.50mallum_I just had 3 chocolate bars in a row
16:03.05mallum_CosmicPenguin: matchbox will be launching rockets ?
16:04.20CosmicPenguinmallum_: uh, no.

16:05.21CosmicPenguinmallum_: its just for telecommunications.  Somebody has to say "5-4-3-2-1"
16:05.29mallum_CosmicPenguin: so what is it your making ?
16:06.22CosmicPenguinmallum_: from a computer standpoint, all I'm doing is making a linux distro that will run a Tcl/Tk based application
16:06.41sorphinit's....
16:06.45mallum_CosmicPenguin: ok, with mb and wm
16:06.51mallum_s/and/as/

16:07.18chouimatsorphin: ?
16:07.22mallum_CosmicPenguin: cool
16:07.24CosmicPenguinmallum_: nothing too fancy - its the propriatary hardware that makes this stuff cool, but this platform won't even get to play with that
16:07.38CosmicPenguinmallum_: they have to connect to the rest of the telecom network via the ethernet
16:07.47mallum_ok
16:08.00mallum_CosmicPenguin: is it a private job or through centuary ?
16:08.08CosmicPenguinmallum_: century is d-e-a-d - this is all me

16:19.04CosmicPenguinThe rottentomatoes reviews of LoTR are a thing of beauty
16:19.11marklwrkactually the "cosmic penguin" was a head shop here in salt lake, fwiw
16:19.31CosmicPenguinhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheLordoftheRingsTheReturnoftheKing-1127213/
16:19.32marklwrki think jordan just liked the name and the penguin-linux association
16:19.36CosmicPenguinmarklwrk: its gone now
16:19.42CosmicPenguinmallum_: but thats where I got the name
16:19.49marklwrkCosmicPenguin: yeah "operation pipe dreams" must have scared them away
16:20.01marklwrkit would sure as shit scare me away
16:20.12sorphinmarklwrk: um.. 'head shop'... i'm not asking
16:20.18CosmicPenguinmarklwrk: sugarhouse is lousy with head shops anyway
16:20.28marklwrksorphin: they sell "tobacco" products
16:20.31marklwrkbongs etc
16:21.01marklwrkashcroft spent like 3 years trying to crack down on them, successfully
16:21.27marklwrktommy chong had an internet site selling glass pipes and got 9 months in a federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison.
16:21.52marklwrksince he is a terrorist, i guess
16:22.02CosmicPenguinsorphin: in salt lake, head shops are usually the only places where you can buy decent cigars and the more expensive and specialized cigarettes
16:22.44sorphinCosmicPenguin: the term 'head shop' sounds more like a place you'd 'buy' something else ;p
16:22.50CosmicPenguinsorphin: plus, the usual stoner accessories - black lights, goth t-shirts, bumper stickers with crude and amusing sayings on them
16:23.58CosmicPenguinWe always used to hit the liquor store on 4th S and 3rd W, and then stop by Knuckeheads for a cigar on the way back up to the university
16:44.23chouimatwooohooo my whiteboard over jabber works!!!!

16:50.06chouimatmallum_: yes ... currently now it's just a side project for another one ...
16:51.35chouimatmallum_: CosmicPenguin one component of my support for distributed team in kdevelop
17:01.12mallum_chouimat: ok, what jabber lib did you use ?
17:01.24chouimatmallum_: xmpp

17:57.27CosmicPenguinmallum_: in honor of Matchbox, I'm migrating all the Pixil graphics to .PNGS
17:57.28MonMothabah, I've segfaulted xchat before
17:57.50CosmicPenguinunfortunately, Nano-X png handling has a huge bug, and I haven't been able to track it down yet... :)
17:58.16chouimatCosmicPenguin: pixil is currently using what?
17:58.40CosmicPenguingifs
17:59.03mallum_CosmicPenguin: :-))
17:59.05CosmicPenguinchouimat: basically because GIF and XPM are the only built in image formats that MW understands

17:59.55CosmicPenguinPersonally, I would rather use .PNG, but that means another dependency for the various buildroots

18:06.00kergotheither use bk parent to change it, or just pass that as the cmdline argument to bk push
18:07.27mallum_bk parent openembedded.bkbits.net:packages ?
18:08.59kergothcan you read what i wrote again?
18:09.07kergothi gave you the *exact* ssh style url to use
18:09.20mallum_so just that after bk push ?
18:09.37kergothyes.
18:09.43kergothdont change your parent since you dont yet know if it works.
18:09.50mallum_kergoth: who got out of the wrong side of bed this morning ?
18:09.55kergothparent changes your repos so that bk push without argument goes there, but also affects bk pull as well
18:10.04kergothwell, i didnt feel lke pasting it a third time

18:49.46CosmicPenguinkergoth: exactly - its not a situation that Matchbox has been in before, IIRC
18:50.06CosmicPenguinor rather, AFIAK
18:50.14CosmicPenguinor whatever
18:50.16kergothcould almost leave the buttons fairly small but teach the UI to allow a "fuzziness" around a touch rect
18:50.27kergoth"oh, he was close enough to that.. click.."
18:50.35kergothhehe
18:50.35mallum_CosmicPenguin: You could make a matchbox theme with BIG ASS buttons
18:51.26CosmicPenguinmallum_: thats my goal
18:51.36CosmicPenguinOr rather not my goal, but somebody with artistic talent
18:51.49CosmicPenguinmallum_: your advice
18:52.00kergothhmm. i take a short lunch break, and get caffeine instead of food.
18:52.04kergothsomething is wrong with this picture
18:52.16CosmicPenguinmallum_: this is going to be a situation where there are only a few apps that need to be spawned.  Is it better to use mbdesktop, or monolauncher on the panel
18:52.31CosmicPenguinwith some sort of appropriate background color other then black
18:56.26mallum_CosmicPenguin: background color ?
18:56.33mallum_CosmicPenguin: single instances of the apps ?
18:57.08mallum_brb
19:06.38CosmicPenguinmallum_: es
19:07.22mallum_CosmicPenguin: back
19:08.18sjhillfront
19:08.37CosmicPenguingrrr...
19:08.55sjhillCosmicPenguin: no, the correct answer was 'left'
19:09.19mallum_CosmicPenguin: do the apps you need to launch be single instances of themeselves ?
19:09.23CosmicPenguinmallum_: yes
19:09.49mallum_CosmicPenguin: and there using some old school toolkit ?
19:10.09CosmicPenguinmallum_: tcl/tk, baby
19:10.24CosmicPenguinmallum_: don't worry about the notify stuff - its not an issue
19:11.47mallum_CosmicPenguin: you could run a massive panel ( --size 48 or summin ), with lots of monolaunches for apps. Ditch mbdesktop and just use xsetroot or summin for a pretty background
19:12.14CosmicPenguinmallum_: thats what I was thinking too.
19:12.56chouimat~change 1 cad to usd
19:13.18mallum_CosmicPenguin: or alternatively you could run the desktop with big ass icons and patch it to do single instance like monolaunch ( not that hard to hack in )
19:14.41CosmicPenguingah!

19:33.44mallum_CosmicPenguin: you should see my tv :-)
19:34.29mallum_CosmicPenguin: I have a plugin for the desktop that uses libxine - thumbnails and plays movies, plays oggs, mp3s with visuals etc
19:34.58CosmicPenguinmallum_: hey, I was going to write one of those!
19:35.07mallum_and I have an image browser plug in too
19:35.20CosmicPenguinmallum_: I guess i'll just have to dumb MB then, and do it in pxil
19:35.26mallum_hehe
19:35.35mallum_CosmicPenguin: you can use the mb one
19:35.41mallum_CosmicPenguin: its open source
19:35.49mallum_CosmicPenguin: just havn't released anything yet
19:35.51CosmicPenguinmallum_: yeah, but getting there is half the fun, atleat for me
19:36.00mallum_CosmicPenguin: well it still needs work
19:36.14mallum_bbiab dinner time
19:36.20CosmicPenguinmallum_: since I have no artistic talent, I can only write code.  if other people write the code for me, then the only changes I can make are artistic ones
19:36.27CosmicPenguinWhere's the fun in that?
19:43.33CosmicPenguinsigh - I love the way these matchbox plugins are structured
19:44.58CosmicPenguinNow if I do the same thing with Pixil, I'll be a no good idea stealer

19:57.12pb_not bad.  been debugging some new hardware today.
19:57.24kergothahh fun
19:57.28kergothstuck in an all day meeting myself
19:57.35pb_heh, nice.

20:03.32CosmicPenguinTomW, kergoth:  Nope, just a lazy no good idea stealer
20:04.40TomWpretty hard on yourself aren't you?  give yourself credit for knowing a good thing when you see it or you'll decay into a mediocre programmer!
20:04.53TomWEGO
20:06.24CosmicPenguinwhatever - it just fuels the critics who claim that different graphical engines are useless
20:06.53CosmicPenguinsue me for thinking that an original idea now and again isn't a bad idea
20:07.12kergothif the original idea has an advantage, and isnt just done for the sake of being different, then yeah
20:07.19kergothif its the latter, its just foolishness
20:12.38sjhillTomW: hey Tommy are you around?
20:13.23TomWsjhill: yeah
20:15.14sjhillTomW`food: i haven't even google'd yet, but i need a jtag and/or ejtag breakout connector
20:15.34sjhillessentially i want to be able to create custom jtag connections without having to wire a new cable for every different board
20:15.43sjhillam i making sense?
20:16.04TomW`foodyeah, but
20:16.34TomW`foodseems like there is no "standard" way of pinning out the JTAG, is there?
20:16.49sjhillright, that's the problem i'm running into
20:17.08TomW`foodlike, traces go every which way that is convenient
20:17.17sjhilli have two different boards that have the jtag pins different
20:17.24TomW`foodnod
20:17.57Russ~quote scox
20:18.11sjhill~quote rhat
20:18.13sjhill~quote ibm
20:18.31TomW`foodsjhill: a breakout is an interesting idea, what you going to do, use pluggable wire jumpers, or maybe banks of header jumpers?
20:18.41sjhill*nod*
20:18.52sjhilli was hoping someone already had a product
20:18.57sjhillcrap, i should patent this
20:19.00sjhillblah
20:19.13CosmicPenguinhmm....  aparently MW can't handle any pngs that aren't 24 bit
20:19.47TomW`foodyou know the problem is that some are SIP, others DIP, with various pin spacings: 2.54mm vs 2mm
20:19.54CosmicPenguinthat falls solidly into the no bueno category
20:19.55sjhillyup :)
20:20.00sjhillone of my boards has dip
20:20.04sjhillthe other has both dip and sip
20:20.35TomW`foodI think you're screwed
20:20.43sjhilloh goodie
20:21.18TomW`foodIMO, you'll have to end up soldering some kind of a connector so why not take the time to pin it out properly?  
20:21.42sjhilli don't have a problem with that, it's just i'm going to end up making 2 or 3 different cables
20:22.22TomW`foodonly thing that you might use is something like an IPC ribbon cable with a DIP receptacle on one end and then strip the wire of the other end of the ribbon to tack solder the 30ga wire onto the jTAG connector.
20:23.16TomW`foodsjhill: what about using 16 / 14 pin DIP (0.300 center) ribbon jumpers.
20:24.39TomW`foodyou know the type, they are board-to-board type thingys that plug into IC sockets.  You can purchase the pre-assembled jumper from a number of sources, cut it in half, strip the wire and solder it to the JTAG connector that mates with the target JTAG header?
20:25.08sjhilli could do that
20:26.00TomW`food30ga wire won't take a lot of abuse, it will break easily.  But, once you get it electrically wired and working, then you can stabilize the wire connection (solder point) by lathering it with Coil Dope (RF Dope).
20:26.21TomW`foodI like coil dope!
20:26.34sjhillhey, everyone has their favorite drug
20:26.37TomW`foodthat and crazy glue!
20:28.09sjhillwhat is coil dope? i'm searching and haven't found anything definitive
20:28.20TomW`foodsjhill: I did one jtag hookup (for the tux) using molex pins + header shroud, what a pain that was when you don't have the proper crimper
20:28.39sjhill*nod*
20:28.52TomW`foodsjhill: what was your callsign again?  It is used to build rf equipment.
20:30.06TomW`foodsjhill: you could probably pick up Model Airplane Dope and do the same thing.  Coil Dope is electrically + magentically neutral.
20:30.18sjhillah
20:30.24TomW`foodsjhill: goto your neighborhood hobby shop.
20:30.30sjhilloh oh oh
20:30.33sjhillyes
20:30.40sjhilli know what it is no
20:30.41sjhillw
20:30.47TomW`foodthey also sell a thinner for it as well.
20:30.48sjhillwhen you said airplane, it clicked
20:30.59TomW`food:)
20:31.51TomW`foodI have, on occasion, built connectors using cardboard, connector pins, and epoxy glue..
20:31.57CosmicPenguinDoes anyone know if the Redhat version of grub is hacked?
20:32.24CosmicPenguinI can't seem to find the ability to load a splashimage anywhere in the standard grub-0.93
20:32.52Russit is hacked
20:33.02CosmicPenguinIt must be
20:33.10TomW`foodwhat is it that mandrake uses, lilo?  they do a spash screen very nicely with lilo.
20:33.28CosmicPenguinWell, damn.  I kinda sorta wanted to do a grub splash screen
