15:23.00 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: probably not worth it |
15:23.11 | chouimat | sorphin: 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 |
15:24.15 | chouimat | sorphin: we start too look more like France everyday |
15:26.01 | CosmicPenguin | chouimat: you start to smell like em too |

15:26.45 | sjhill | i've never tried one |
15:26.58 | sjhill | maybe when i'm in EU again |
15:27.04 | CosmicPenguin | My parents had one when i was a kid - a very interesting concept |
15:27.15 | mallum_ | we have one at my moms |
15:27.21 | sorphin | mallum_: 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 |
15:27.22 | mallum_ | dont think its ever been used |
15:27.35 | mallum_ | the toilets in Japan are nuts |
15:28.12 | chouimat | mallum_: I liked the toilet in switzerland ... they have a small robotic arm that clean the seat after every usage |
15:28.34 | mallum_ | thats nice |
15:29.11 | sorphin | mallum_: 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 |

15:34.57 | chouimat | CosmicPenguin: I tried with mine .... and give up ... i think learning MFC is easier |
15:35.24 | mallum_ | 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 |

16:07.22 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: cool |
16:07.24 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: nothing too fancy - its the propriatary hardware that makes this stuff cool, but this platform won't even get to play with that |
16:07.38 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: they have to connect to the rest of the telecom network via the ethernet |
16:07.47 | mallum_ | ok |

16:20.01 | marklwrk | it would sure as shit scare me away |
16:20.12 | sorphin | marklwrk: um.. 'head shop'... i'm not asking |
16:20.18 | CosmicPenguin | marklwrk: sugarhouse is lousy with head shops anyway |
16:20.28 | marklwrk | sorphin: they sell "tobacco" products |
16:20.31 | marklwrk | bongs etc |
16:21.01 | marklwrk | ashcroft spent like 3 years trying to crack down on them, successfully |
16:21.27 | marklwrk | tommy chong had an internet site selling glass pipes and got 9 months in a federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison. |
16:21.52 | marklwrk | since he is a terrorist, i guess |
16:22.02 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: in salt lake, head shops are usually the only places where you can buy decent cigars and the more expensive and specialized cigarettes |
16:22.44 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: the term 'head shop' sounds more like a place you'd 'buy' something else ;p |
16:22.50 | CosmicPenguin | sorphin: plus, the usual stoner accessories - black lights, goth t-shirts, bumper stickers with crude and amusing sayings on them |
16:23.58 | CosmicPenguin | We 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 |

18:09.37 | kergoth | yes. |
18:09.43 | kergoth | dont change your parent since you dont yet know if it works. |
18:09.50 | mallum_ | kergoth: who got out of the wrong side of bed this morning ? |
18:09.55 | kergoth | parent changes your repos so that bk push without argument goes there, but also affects bk pull as well |
18:10.04 | kergoth | well, i didnt feel lke pasting it a third time |
18:10.16 | mallum_ | hehe, sorry |
18:10.23 | mallum_ | Im a bit rusty on bk |
18:10.31 | mallum_ | but I have nice stuff to commit |
18:10.47 | mallum_ | its asking me for a password, so I'll mail you my v1 key ? |
18:10.53 | kergoth | yep |
18:10.57 | kergoth | bk push and pull both obey parent |
18:11.04 | kergoth | and both can accept an alternate one on the cmdline |
18:11.43 | mallum_ | kergoth: here something to cheer you up : http://handhelds.org/~mallum/compopics/ |
18:12.05 | kergoth | mallum_: heh, dont mind me, i've been in an all day meeting |
18:12.15 | kergoth | bleh |
18:12.52 | mallum_ | kergoth: okey sent you the key |
18:13.34 | kergoth | cool |
18:20.35 | mallum_ | kergoth: did you get the key ? |
18:21.02 | kergoth | yeah, in windows atm, dont have my keys here to add you, will do so in a few when i boot back into linux |
18:22.39 | mallum_ | kergoth: np, just ping me when ready |
18:23.12 | kergoth | WILL DO |

18:48.13 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: one interesting thing about this exercise is that its for a finger driven touchscreen |
18:48.30 | kergoth | finger driven? i hope you have bigass buttons |
18:49.46 | CosmicPenguin | kergoth: exactly - its not a situation that Matchbox has been in before, IIRC |
18:50.06 | CosmicPenguin | or rather, AFIAK |
18:50.14 | CosmicPenguin | or whatever |
18:50.16 | kergoth | could almost leave the buttons fairly small but teach the UI to allow a "fuzziness" around a touch rect |
18:50.27 | kergoth | "oh, he was close enough to that.. click.." |
18:50.35 | kergoth | hehe |
18:50.35 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: You could make a matchbox theme with BIG ASS buttons |
18:51.26 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: thats my goal |
18:51.36 | CosmicPenguin | Or rather not my goal, but somebody with artistic talent |
18:51.49 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: your advice |
18:52.00 | kergoth | hmm. i take a short lunch break, and get caffeine instead of food. |
18:52.04 | kergoth | something is wrong with this picture |
18:52.16 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: 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 |
18:52.31 | CosmicPenguin | with some sort of appropriate background color other then black |
18:56.26 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: background color ? |
18:56.33 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: single instances of the apps ? |
18:57.08 | mallum_ | brb |
19:06.38 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: es |
19:07.22 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: back |
19:08.18 | sjhill | front |
19:08.37 | CosmicPenguin | grrr... |
19:08.55 | sjhill | CosmicPenguin: no, the correct answer was 'left' |
19:09.19 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: do the apps you need to launch be single instances of themeselves ? |
19:09.23 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: yes |
19:09.49 | mallum_ | CosmicPenguin: and there using some old school toolkit ? |
19:10.09 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: tcl/tk, baby |
19:10.24 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: don't worry about the notify stuff - its not an issue |
19:11.47 | mallum_ | 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 |
19:12.14 | CosmicPenguin | mallum_: thats what I was thinking too. |
19:12.56 | chouimat | ~change 1 cad to usd |
19:13.18 | mallum_ | 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 ) |
19:14.41 | CosmicPenguin | gah! |

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

20:03.32 | CosmicPenguin | TomW, kergoth: Nope, just a lazy no good idea stealer |
20:04.40 | TomW | pretty 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! |
20:04.53 | TomW | EGO |
20:06.24 | CosmicPenguin | whatever - it just fuels the critics who claim that different graphical engines are useless |
20:06.53 | CosmicPenguin | sue me for thinking that an original idea now and again isn't a bad idea |
20:07.12 | kergoth | if the original idea has an advantage, and isnt just done for the sake of being different, then yeah |
20:07.19 | kergoth | if its the latter, its just foolishness |
20:12.38 | sjhill | TomW: hey Tommy are you around? |
20:13.23 | TomW | sjhill: yeah |
20:15.14 | sjhill | TomW`food: i haven't even google'd yet, but i need a jtag and/or ejtag breakout connector |
20:15.34 | sjhill | essentially i want to be able to create custom jtag connections without having to wire a new cable for every different board |
20:15.43 | sjhill | am i making sense? |
20:16.04 | TomW`food | yeah, but |
20:16.34 | TomW`food | seems like there is no "standard" way of pinning out the JTAG, is there? |
20:16.49 | sjhill | right, that's the problem i'm running into |
20:17.08 | TomW`food | like, traces go every which way that is convenient |
20:17.17 | sjhill | i have two different boards that have the jtag pins different |
20:17.24 | TomW`food | nod |
20:17.57 | Russ | ~quote scox |
20:18.11 | sjhill | ~quote rhat |
20:18.13 | sjhill | ~quote ibm |
20:18.31 | TomW`food | sjhill: a breakout is an interesting idea, what you going to do, use pluggable wire jumpers, or maybe banks of header jumpers? |
20:18.41 | sjhill | *nod* |
20:18.52 | sjhill | i was hoping someone already had a product |
20:18.57 | sjhill | crap, i should patent this |
20:19.00 | sjhill | blah |
20:19.13 | CosmicPenguin | hmm.... aparently MW can't handle any pngs that aren't 24 bit |
20:19.47 | TomW`food | you know the problem is that some are SIP, others DIP, with various pin spacings: 2.54mm vs 2mm |
20:19.54 | CosmicPenguin | that falls solidly into the no bueno category |
20:19.55 | sjhill | yup :) |
20:20.00 | sjhill | one of my boards has dip |
20:20.04 | sjhill | the other has both dip and sip |
20:20.35 | TomW`food | I think you're screwed |
20:20.43 | sjhill | oh goodie |
20:21.18 | TomW`food | IMO, you'll have to end up soldering some kind of a connector so why not take the time to pin it out properly? |
20:21.42 | sjhill | i don't have a problem with that, it's just i'm going to end up making 2 or 3 different cables |
20:22.22 | TomW`food | only 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. |
20:23.16 | TomW`food | sjhill: what about using 16 / 14 pin DIP (0.300 center) ribbon jumpers. |
20:24.39 | TomW`food | you 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? |
20:25.08 | sjhill | i could do that |
20:26.00 | TomW`food | 30ga 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). |
20:26.21 | TomW`food | I like coil dope! |
20:26.34 | sjhill | hey, everyone has their favorite drug |
20:26.37 | TomW`food | that and crazy glue! |
20:28.09 | sjhill | what is coil dope? i'm searching and haven't found anything definitive |
20:28.20 | TomW`food | sjhill: 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 |
20:28.39 | sjhill | *nod* |
20:28.52 | TomW`food | sjhill: what was your callsign again? It is used to build rf equipment. |
20:30.06 | TomW`food | sjhill: you could probably pick up Model Airplane Dope and do the same thing. Coil Dope is electrically + magentically neutral. |
20:30.18 | sjhill | ah |
20:30.24 | TomW`food | sjhill: goto your neighborhood hobby shop. |
20:30.30 | sjhill | oh oh oh |
20:30.33 | sjhill | yes |
20:30.40 | sjhill | i know what it is no |
20:30.41 | sjhill | w |
20:30.47 | TomW`food | they also sell a thinner for it as well. |
20:30.48 | sjhill | when you said airplane, it clicked |
20:30.59 | TomW`food | :) |
20:31.51 | TomW`food | I have, on occasion, built connectors using cardboard, connector pins, and epoxy glue.. |
20:31.57 | CosmicPenguin | Does anyone know if the Redhat version of grub is hacked? |
20:32.24 | CosmicPenguin | I can't seem to find the ability to load a splashimage anywhere in the standard grub-0.93 |
20:32.52 | Russ | it is hacked |
20:33.02 | CosmicPenguin | It must be |
20:33.10 | TomW`food | what is it that mandrake uses, lilo? they do a spash screen very nicely with lilo. |
20:33.28 | CosmicPenguin | Well, damn. I kinda sorta wanted to do a grub splash screen |
20:33.35 | TomW`food | :( |
