16:20.48prpplagueho ho ho
16:54.42prpplaguepb_: ping
16:57.13pb_prpplague: yo
16:59.53prpplaguepb_: hey, got a ethics question
17:00.17prpplaguepb_: you think rmk would pound me if i respond to a uclinux question on the linux-arm list?
17:01.19pb_no, I think it'd be fine to respond
17:01.44pb_he might shout at the original poster for writing to the wrong list in the first place, but now that they've done that I don't think it would be out of order to reply in the same place.
17:02.19prpplaguepb_: ok thanks
17:14.02prpplaguepb_: guess its a moot point, the mail server at the office is down
17:15.07T0mWprpplague: must be time for the weekly reboot of the Windows server?
17:15.51prpplagueT0mW: yea
17:16.03prpplagueT0mW: oh well, guess i'll respond monday
17:17.03sjhillg'day all
17:17.13prpplaguepb_: lots of ppl asking about running linux/uclinux on those new sets of SoC's with onboard flash and ram
17:17.16prpplaguesjhill: hey
17:17.22prpplaguesjhill: hows goes it?
17:18.09sjhillpretty good
17:18.15sjhilljust doing some nice morning hacking
17:18.18pb_prpplague: aha
17:18.18sjhillmips stuff
17:19.20sjhillprpplague: why stress? you only need to be prepare for them to immediately walk you off the premises. before i gave notice at TimeSys, i spent the whole week before taking stuff home and bringing stuff back from home so that if they walked me out immediately, i would be ready.
17:20.45prpplaguesjhill: mainly because: 1) i like these ppl, there are very nice and 2) its a great job
17:20.58prpplaguesjhill: just bad timing i guess
17:21.41prpplaguepb_: hehe, suddenly i seem to be answering alot of questions on small systems based on my work on the pixter, hehe
17:22.18T0mWanybody know how well / badly windows XP handles threads?  I may need some ammunition to sell a job, and not use windows.
17:25.29prpplagueT0mW: i can't speak from first hand knowledge, however from what i heard in the past is that ppl generally have problems with the scheduler when doing threads
17:25.51T0mWbecause a single thread can hog the machine?
17:26.45prpplaguehttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/302/302.html
17:26.47T0mWI've heard of that happening with Win9x where a thread will bring the system to a near standstill.  
17:27.22prpplagueT0mW: also, the fact that m$ has some backdoors for their own apps in the scheduler
17:27.40T0mWa client is using a Visual Basic app on their system and when it processes a timer event (in VB) the machine will ignore the keyboard.
17:28.01prpplagueT0mW: basically like nice'n their apps
17:28.10T0mWyeah
17:29.37prpplagueT0mW: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-rt8/fig1.gif
17:29.38T0mWI had an app that I developed under Kylix on Linux and it ran fine, it used two threads other than the program thread.  It ran fine on linux but when I ported it to Delphi under windows, the thing would hog on some versions of windows.
17:29.51prpplagueT0mW: that has nice hard data - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-rt8/
17:29.52*** join/#elinux hufnus (~slonsiki@host-66-81-21-32.rev.o1.com)
17:32.25T0mWmust be a VB thing then
17:32.50T0mWI doubt very highly that I can get a linux PC into that place
17:33.39T0mWThey have a bulk purchase agreement w/ MicroSoft that basically says that they will only run MicroSoft O/S or they lose their discount.
17:34.12T0mWprpplague: now, an embedded system would be something else entirely.  heh
17:37.21prpplagueT0mW: hehe
17:37.37prpplagueT0mW: yea i used to run into alot of shops like that when i worked for abcs
17:39.58T0mWprpplague: right now, I am trying to install a small ITX machine in the plant so I can sniff the RS232 conversation between the PLCs and the PC.  If I can reverse-engineer the protocol, then I'll see if I can put something together to demo.
17:40.17T0mWprpplague: I'm not sure if that will come off or not.
17:41.43prpplagueT0mW: hehe, lovely, jameco will ship to barbados
17:41.50prpplagueT0mW: i wonder if digikey will
17:45.12prpplagueTimRiker: hey guy
17:45.20*** join/#elinux CIA-3 (~CIA@to.je.spocco.com)
17:45.21prpplagueTimRiker: whats cookin in north big D today?
17:47.14T0mWprpplague: yeah, probably: first it goes to Texas to get loaded on a returning Mexican truck, I then goes overland to Hondoras, from Hondoras some fisherman take it to Barbados (when the fish are schooling near there).
17:47.56prpplagueT0mW: naw, to miami and on a plane
17:48.19prpplagueT0mW: there are 4 shipping planes a day to/from barbados to miami
17:48.23TimRikerprpplague: ordered be a zipit. ;-)
17:48.34prpplagueTimRiker: oh yea? cool
17:48.35T0mWprpplague: oh, the overland route across Mexico is by donkey.
17:49.12T0mWyou should get your order in 3..4 months.
17:49.13TimRikerinterested in how low they get power when suspended with wifi on or off.
17:52.45prpplagueTimRiker: yea, i was thinking that the zipit could have been made with an omap using the dsp for wireless stuff
17:53.19TimRikerprpplague: nod. the chip they used is lower clock speed, but might be lower power too.
17:56.04prpplagueTimRiker: yea, i ordered one, but i doubt i'll have much time to hack it
17:56.14prpplagueTimRiker: i've been spending most of my time hacking on the pixter
17:56.21prpplagueTimRiker: non-work time that is
17:57.35TimRikertoo bad the Zipit has no expansion slot.
17:57.44prpplagueTimRiker: yea
18:37.21sjhill~ibot seen benh
