15:51.48sorphinit's too late
15:52.31prpplagueCosmicPenguin: not really, there were some sprinkles this morning
15:52.36prpplagueCosmicPenguin: nothing today so far
15:53.04CosmicPenguinHeh - infrared shows a bit of moisture in your general vicinity - of course, theres little land and lots of water in that area
15:53.25prpplagueCosmicPenguin:yea all that came through yesterday]
15:53.28CosmicPenguinNot often you see three storms in the same shot
15:53.35CosmicPenguinhttp://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/NWATL/IR4/20.jpg
15:53.59jbevrenheh
15:53.59prpplagueCosmicPenguin: which pic did you see barbados in?
15:54.05jbevrenlook at that big storm over Iowa
15:54.07jbevrenthats us
15:54.10jbevrensprinkling lightly
15:54.17CosmicPenguinhttp://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/WATL/IR4/20.jpg
15:54.31CosmicPenguinINow that I look at it, I think that I do see its not over you
15:54.47CosmicPenguinjbevren: it came through here yesterday - some big ass thunderstorms in the east plains - lots of hail
15:55.02prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea thats all north of us, it came through yesterday
15:55.15CosmicPenguinprpplague: was that the disturbance you were worried about earlier?
15:55.23CosmicPenguinOr did that end up being ophilia?
15:55.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: but you see the rain in the bottom right corner
15:55.36prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea that was what was left of it
15:56.43prpplagueyou know some areas of linux are extremely well documented and ppl are eager to help you, and others.........
15:57.01prpplaguewell lets just say, ppl hold onto info as if their life depended on it
15:58.00prpplagueCosmicPenguin: we should be clear of hurricanes for atleast another 2 weeks as the current storms are pulling abunch of energy from the upper atmosphere and water right now
15:58.18CosmicPenguinprpplague: they're still saying that we're in for a few more big ones
15:58.30CosmicPenguinapparently the ocean tempratures are very favorable right now
15:58.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, i suspect that october is gonna be nasty
15:58.56CosmicPenguinCrazy - I'm not that old, but I don't recall many years that we've made it to 'O' already
15:59.15CosmicPenguinLooks like we might see Zecke after all

16:07.59prpplaguesorphin: you think emsoft would have put a fs on the cartridges?
16:10.10sorphinprpplague: i dunno
16:13.35prpplaguewhat a crock - http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9231271/
16:13.35Croftonhttp://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=170701379&tid=13692
16:14.09prpplaguesorphin: on the one hand its an OTP, so if they burn it once and it has bad block it goes into the trash bin
16:14.34prpplaguesorphin: but on the other, if they used a fs it would be more complicated, but less chips would go into the trash bin
16:14.53sorphinyeah
16:15.07sorphinmy traffic controller has 2 ROMs and an eeprom
16:15.11prpplaguesorphin: i
16:15.12sorphinbut you take out the eeprom
16:15.14sorphinand it won't come up
16:15.32sorphinso there has to be some startup code or something it looks for
16:15.42prpplaguesorphin: i'm guessing that emsoft might have implement a similiar systems as the sm cards
16:15.57sorphintry that again in english?
16:16.02sorphinnot engrish
16:16.03sorphin;)
16:16.19prpplaguesorphin: hmm i thought that was pretty clear
16:16.30sorphin"All Your JuiceBox are Belong To Plague"
16:17.00sorphinprpplague: might have implement a similiar systems as the sm cards
16:17.05prpplaguesorphin: my guess that emsoft implemented the same specifications as a standard smartmedia card
16:17.10sorphinah
16:17.15sorphinthat makes sense :)
16:17.29sorphinwell
16:17.33sorphina standard smartmedia card
16:17.39sorphinis identical to normal nand flash
16:17.45sorphinjust different package
16:17.46sorphinthat's it
16:17.54sorphins/flash/eeprom/
16:18.06prpplaguesorphin: physcially yes
16:18.07CosmicPenguinCrofton: yeah, we alreaday announced our new CTO
16:18.21prpplaguesorphin: however smc spec includes some formating
16:18.26CosmicPenguinAlong with the obligatory reorg
16:18.27prpplaguesorphin: of the actual flash
16:18.35CroftonDo you actually talk to any of those people?
16:18.58sorphinah
16:19.14prpplaguesorphin: thats the whole reason you can't normally just use a usb->smc to access flash
16:19.35sorphinprpplague: then how come i can?
16:19.46prpplaguesorphin: you didn't
16:19.53sorphinuh
16:20.03prpplaguesorphin: i double check the file you sent, it doesn't include the smc oob
16:20.17sorphinheh
16:20.23CosmicPenguinCrofton: heh - no way

16:24.33prpplaguesorphin: simple a case study for me to learn with
16:24.51sorphinah
16:26.34prpplaguesorphin: learn alot about jtag debugging, arm asm, flash types, boot techniques, disassembly techniques, all about usb thumbdrives, usb card readers
16:26.42prpplaguesorphin: and the list goes on and on
16:26.48sorphinah
16:26.50prpplaguesorphin: been very worth it

16:36.20prpplaguejbevren: http://www.barcodediscount.com/catalog/intermec/700-series.htm
16:36.51jbevrennod.. I'm on intermec's site atm
16:37.01jbevrenanyone ported linux to em yet? :)
16:37.19prpplaguejbevren: hehe, almost 3 years ago
16:37.36prpplaguejbevren: i tried to sell the port to intermec, but they weren't interested
16:38.05prpplaguejbevren: the port was originally for the series 600 which is the same as the 700 just with a b&w lcd
16:38.42jbevrenah
16:38.50jbevrenthis ebay auction is for 600s then? (they have bw lcds)
16:39.04jbevrenno, theyre 720s guessing by the part#
16:39.28prpplaguethey said 700 on the auction
16:40.00prpplaguei don't think they made the 700's with a b&w
16:41.53prpplaguehmm, i just got the datasheet and it does say monochrome but the 720 i have is color
16:43.13prpplaguejbevren: ahh ok, the 700 and 720 are monochrome and the 730 is color
16:44.16jbevrenso have you released your port? :)
16:44.23jbevrenI'm bad about gadgets
16:44.23prpplaguejbevren: no never did
16:44.26jbevrenspecially if they run linux
16:44.27jbevrenbah. :)
16:44.39prpplaguejbevren: no real reason to
16:45.14prpplaguejbevren: back then they were almost 4k
16:45.25prpplaguejbevren: there were cheap alternatives
16:46.09prpplaguejbevren:  see look at this - http://cgi.ebay.com/Intermec-760-Mobile-Computer-w-Scanner-Battery-WARRAN_W0QQitemZ5804168093QQcategoryZ14929QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
16:47.43jbevrennod
16:47.47jbevrenwonder if the 4pack have radios
16:48.33prpplaguejbevren: hehe i had linux on this one too - http://www.currentdirections.com/hardware/intermec/6110.html
16:48.56prpplaguejbevren: when i told the intermec rep that i was browsing the net with it he called me a lier
16:49.05sorphinprpplague: ok you POS lackey ;)
16:49.05jbevrenhehe
16:49.19jbevrenshould have emailed them a video
16:49.33jbevrenit comes with win95
16:49.37jbevrenI dont see why they didnt believe you
16:49.44prpplaguejbevren: hehe, him and two other reps came to the office
16:50.24prpplaguejbevren: just werent that many apps for it at the time
16:50.38prpplaguejbevren: ie was way too big to put on it with with win95
16:51.14jbevrenah
16:51.16prpplaguejbevren: i tried for atleast two years to sell intermec on some linux ports, they were just not interested
16:51.32jbevrenthey probably had a parasitic windows contract
16:52.53prpplaguejbevren: hehe about a year after aml introduced their m7100(with linux) intermec decided they had to get on the bandwagon - http://www.linuxelectrons.com/article.php/20040112095911947
16:53.50prpplaguei guess i'm just a lousy sales person
16:54.00jbevrenheh
16:54.12jbevrenso if I got a 720, how hard would it be for me to get linux on it ;-)
16:54.15prpplagueeveryone seems to get wealthy off my work except me
16:55.09prpplaguejbevren: shouldn't be that hard, the most difficult would be the bootloader, i suspect that they may have made it more tamper proof
16:55.17jbevrenahh could be
16:56.21jbevrenbah. I should just gat a zaurus
16:56.22jbevrenhehe
16:56.25sorphinyep
16:56.26sorphin:P
16:56.39prpplaguehehe

16:57.12jbevrenah yeah
16:59.21CosmicPenguinI wonder how hackable the 770 would be
16:59.28CosmicPenguinof course, I'll so done with that phase of my life
16:59.46CosmicPenguinI 've got plenty of platforms to put linux on - if i buy a PDA, I just want it to work
16:59.54CosmicPenguinyou know... like a PDA?
17:00.13prpplaguehehe
17:00.25prpplagueCosmicPenguin: well i was wondering that about the linux phones that are coming out
17:00.44prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i was wondering how seperate the cell phone portion is from the linux os
17:00.48kergothCosmicPenguin: heh, same.  i havent even gotten my wrt54gs running a non-linksys firmware yet, for gods sake

17:02.44jbevrenhehe
17:03.06kergothwell, i dont want openwrt, adn i'm far far too lazy to get around to getting it working well in oe
17:03.12sorphinmy friend mike ([mbm]) bugged me to even get wrt54g's since my motorolas wouldn't run it well
17:03.19sorphinheh
17:03.30sorphinwhat's wrong w/ openwrt?
17:03.45kergothi dont like some aspects of the distro
17:03.46jbevrenother than lack of web UI? :)
17:03.54kergothi'm picky when it comes to distributionisms
17:03.59sorphinjbevren: if you realy need a web ui
17:04.06sorphinthen you shouldn't even be using linux :P
17:04.13sorphinimho
17:04.38sorphinkergoth: so? last i checked, people do take suggestions
17:04.55CosmicPenguinbut when it comes to things like routers and such, using the command line is a step back, imho
17:05.00kergothyes, i know, but if i'm going to suggest a change, i want to give them a patch
17:05.06kergothand im not going to waste my time on a buildroot
17:05.09sorphinCosmicPenguin: it is huh?
17:05.18sorphinCosmicPenguin: so you'd rather comfigure a network of routers
17:05.18CosmicPenguinI mean there's using linux, and then there's going out of your way to make things difficult
17:05.21sorphinvia a gui then?
17:05.44sorphinkergoth: heh
17:05.45CosmicPenguinok, remember when I say router, I'm not talking industrial here
17:05.47sorphin*shrug*
17:05.51sorphinto each their own then
17:06.13sorphinCosmicPenguin: my non industrial home router(s) have no gui
17:06.19sorphinand i don't want one
17:06.20CosmicPenguinBut yes - I would much rather use a web interface for my DSL router and wireless access point then not
17:06.41sorphinlike i said, to each their own
17:06.46kergothi'd actually rather have a text based interface
17:06.47kergothhowever
17:06.54kergothi'd rather it not be low level
17:07.07kergothi dont like fucknig with 8 quadrillion iptables commands directly, thanks
17:07.13CosmicPenguinwell, if the web interface was really simple and sucky, and the text interface was powerful then I would agree
17:07.31sorphinkergoth: i don't use ip tables
17:07.42kergothyeah, i know
17:07.44sorphinthere's this nice shell out now
17:07.47sorphincalled nsh
17:07.49sorphin:P
17:07.58kergothiptables is messy and ugly, though powerful.
17:08.18sorphinnsh emluates cisco
17:08.19CosmicPenguinBut if I can enter an address to block on my firewall via a web address, and know thats the same as typing in the iptables command, well....
17:08.24sorphinhell, iproute2
17:08.27sorphinemulates cisco
17:08.46sorphinCosmicPenguin: i've yet to see a gui/web interface that can get as ingrained as i can at the cli
17:08.57kergothmost people dont need it that ingrained, though
17:09.05sorphinheh
17:09.05CosmicPenguinsorphin: thats because you're dealing with really powerful hardware
17:09.12sorphinCosmicPenguin: i am?
17:09.13CosmicPenguinConfiguring a damn cisco is a whole different ball of wax
17:09.23sorphini wasn't aware
17:09.28sorphinthat a 68360
17:09.33sorphinwas all that powerful :P
17:09.39CosmicPenguinyou know what I mean
17:09.49CosmicPenguinI'll bet that you have nothing in your house that is as simple as my firewall
17:09.58sorphinheh
17:10.05CosmicPenguinBecause thats your area of expertise, and you know what to do
17:10.23CosmicPenguinBut thats *not* my area of expertise, and as long as I'm keeping the world away from my internal network, thats all I fricking care about
17:10.34sorphinkergoth: yeah, and then they come crying to us when they get attacked and their firewall is doing it's job :P
17:10.56sorphinand expect our "big powerful hardware" to be their firewall for them
17:11.15sorphintell your GD firewall to stop sending unreachable replies
17:11.19sorphinand just DROP the packets
17:11.27sorphininstead
17:11.31sorphinthey unplug a machine
17:11.38sorphinso their firewall sends icmp unreachables
17:11.43sorphinand burns even more bandwidth
17:11.50kergothgoddamnit
17:11.53sorphinthat's when they come crying
17:11.55kergoththis ctnetlink patch

17:15.57kergothdoubt they'll drop them off without a signature though, so i'll h ave to drop by fedex on the way home
17:16.10CosmicPenguinI figure with the baskets, the signs and the concrete, we're looking at about $250 a hole
17:16.12sorphinkergoth: least it's fedex and you can :)

18:37.55prpplaguesorphin: hey crack baby
18:39.11sorphinprpplague: yes POS lackey?
18:39.39prpplaguesorphin: i need to run some thoughts by someone about this nand flash/OTP
18:40.28prpplaguesorphin: got a couple minutes to see if my logic is sound?
18:56.22sorphinprpplague: ok
18:57.54sorphinprpplague: hit me with it hillbilly
19:01.19prpplaguesorphin: ok
19:01.48prpplaguesorphin: lets start with the fact that nand flash has bad blocks and needs to have a method of keeping track of bad blocks
19:02.06sorphink
19:02.11prpplaguesorphin: now the OTP for the juicebox has a nand flash interface
19:02.46prpplaguesorphin: although its a OTP it still has bad blocks
19:03.05sorphinya
19:03.23prpplaguesorphin: quote from article - "As many as 643 bad pages can exist within each 16-Mbyte zone\x{2014}a characteristic reminiscent of the bad-block specification of NAND flash memory that media-management hardware or software can handle."
19:03.50sorphinok
19:04.01prpplaguesorphin: now, that means that on the jb the firmware needs to do some type of badblock mangment
19:04.19sorphinright
19:05.18prpplaguesorphin: so as a developer, would you suppose they would write all these ecc and bad block management from scratch? or use something off the shelf such as a file system that supports it?
19:05.43prpplaguesorphin: i'm thinking that they used a fat file system
19:07.36kergothgrr
19:07.39kergothdeadlocks suck.
19:07.54chouimatarrrggggg rm the wrong set of isos ....
19:08.01prpplaguesorphin: even if thats not the case and they've done a custom bad block mangement, the OTP is suppose to be 100% drop in replace ment for standard nand flash, which means i should be able to go the other way as well
19:08.07prpplaguechouimat: doh
19:08.29chouimatprpplague: will simply fetch suse 10.0 rc1 for ppc  ...
19:11.56sorphinman, today's dilbert is a bit sexist towards men
19:12.24sorphinprpplague: uhh
19:12.38sorphinan OTP as a drop in replacement for NAND?
19:12.49sorphini dunno about that part
19:14.22prpplaguesorphin: this one is
19:15.18sorphinhow is that possible? OTP is just that, OTP, and nand is rewriteable
19:17.10sorphinprpplague: you ain't been smoking that AML brand crack have you?
19:17.39prpplaguei quote - "Yes, Matrix 3DM uses the standard NAND flash interface, making it drop-in compatible with millions of existing devices that support flash and/or the MultiMediaCard formats.  
19:17.39prpplague"
19:17.48T`2prpplague, whats up.. i think they would use a filesystem and scan for bad blocks after creating the FAT table
19:17.49prpplaguesorphin: thats how i was able to use a smartmedia card
19:19.15prpplagueT`2: thats what i'm thinking too
19:21.45T`2prpplague, i know for a fact many OEMs use FAT for their flash images for bootloaders, etc.
19:22.46prpplagueT`2: yea i can't imaging emsoft going to all the trouble to make something fresh when they could use a fat fs
19:23.41T`2do you have an image of the flash?
19:24.26prpplagueT`2: just made an adapter today to do the dump
19:24.47prpplagueT`2: probably won't have time till the weekend to do the dump
19:25.17T`2ah ok... if you can get the raw dump and if its fat it should be obvious to get the FAT table offset and the blocks thereof
19:25.36prpplagueT`2: yea thats what i figured
19:25.54prpplagueT`2: i'm mainly brainstorming right now about the line of thinking
19:27.11T`2how do you deal with parts and such in the island? do you guys have digikey shipping ;) ?

19:28.33sorphinoops
19:28.33prpplagueT`2: so i figure the next time i order online i'm gonna have problems
19:28.48T`2no, you can always call them and tell them you have a different shipping address
19:29.01T`2i did that when i was an intern in cali last year.. school is in PA
19:29.03sorphinbut the credit card addr
19:29.04sorphinwon't work
19:29.13T`2no.. they have 2 addreses for CCs
19:29.17T`21 physical, 1 mailing
19:29.21sorphinuh
19:29.27sorphinnot all do
19:29.30T`2they can do a mailing address change for liek 60 days or something.. its temporary
19:29.34sorphinand debit cards don't
19:29.45T`2debit i'm not sure.. citi and amex have it
19:29.50sorphinanyways
19:30.34prpplaguewell the main problem is we don't have a zip code here
19:30.44prpplaguewhich usually means that the online form will fail
19:30.49sorphinuh
19:30.54sorphinhow can you not have a zip
19:31.00sorphinwell
19:31.01sorphinpostal code
19:31.08sorphinhtf do you get mail?
19:31.17prpplaguesorphin: its an island why do we need a zip?
19:31.22sorphineverywhere has a postal code, even england has a few

19:31.50sorphinheh
19:31.57sorphinthey must not ship/get shipped anything :P
19:32.11prpplaguesorphin: the other thing is there is no city listing
19:32.31prpplaguesorphin: how do you explain that to someone ? hehe
19:32.50sorphinjust say 'ship it to the Isle of Plague'
19:32.50sorphin:P
19:32.58prpplaguehehe
19:33.12prpplaguesorphin: they use small parishes here
19:33.17sorphinheh
19:33.38sorphinprpplague: couldn't you have it sent to AML and they'd forward it to you i'm sure ;)
19:33.59CosmicPenguinprpplague: what up?
19:35.04T`2sorphin, they dont even have street names there.. their typical address looks like.. Mr.A B (only initials), Barbodos, Earth
19:37.00T`2sorphin, i heard geeksquad is a very successful idea of bestbuy... apparently making lots of $$ for them
19:37.24sorphinthey didn't come up with it tho
19:37.33sorphinthey bought some thing in california that was geeksquad
19:37.42T`2aah really!
19:37.50T`2was driving a beetle part of it?
19:38.17sorphinhell if i know
19:38.22T`2heh j/k
19:38.28sorphini think it's an overpriced joke
19:40.10CosmicPenguinappeals to the stupid masses
19:40.41CosmicPenguinMy wife's laptop broke, and they juked it, so we had to go in to get a new one
19:41.01CosmicPenguinThey were out of stock on most of them (blaming the hurricane), and the guy told us that we might as well get Intel, because they're the same really
19:41.07kergothhuh, i didnt realize that current 2.6 includes a mechanism to collect network flow accounting information using the conntrack netlink interface
19:41.07CosmicPenguinThe funny thing is that my wife was more pissed then I was
19:41.15kergothmakes sense for conntrack to have that info though
19:41.20kergothCosmicPenguin: hah
19:42.59prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, scroll back and look at what i was telling sorphin about the nand flash
19:43.40prpplagueT`2: you are particially correct alot of the streets don't have names, but the houses do

21:02.24sorphinthere was no 'shitloads of salt'
21:02.29CosmicPenguinThey don't just call it salt lake city for kicks
21:02.45sorphinwhatever
21:02.58kergothit depends on the area.  some places use sand, some salt, some just shit themselves when it snows ;)
21:03.07sorphinhave fun
21:03.28CosmicPenguinI really prefer sand - not only because of the car, but it makes the roads less scary

21:08.29sorphinintel invited me to take a seurvey for whatever the hell i did, and is giving a way a centrino laptop
21:08.41kergothfor networking between my uml instances, yeah.  then use tun/tap or whatever to connect one to the desktop's lan
21:08.51file[laptop]ah yes good good

21:09.08sorphinno, not unless i win this one

21:12.26kergothsorphin: you have any idea how to set up an ipv6 only box on the lan to talk to ipv4 boxes on the net?  i mean, is there a standard mechanism of encoding the ipv4 address in an ipv6 address to get back to the net?
21:12.47kergothheh
21:12.55sorphinuhh
21:13.53sorphinpersonally, i don't, no, i just use that magic prefix now to get me out
21:13.58sorphinand use my ipv4 addr
21:14.03sorphinand a 2002:: prefix
21:14.24kergothah right. magic prefix?
21:15.08sorphinyeah
21:15.14sorphin2002:: is reserved
21:15.26sorphinand there's a special ipv4 addr you set as your default route
21:16.47sorphinfew pages about it, and an rfc
21:16.48sorphinheh
21:16.59kergothheh
21:16.59sorphini can find em when i get home (bookmarked)
21:17.06kergoththatd be cool

21:33.51sorphinkergoth: you really want chapter 9
21:34.39kergothyeah, i found it
21:36.34CosmicPenguinhmmm.... I must not understand tap
21:36.44CosmicPenguinand by tap I mean tun
21:38.00CosmicPenguinI just figured I could make a tun device, attach it to uml_switch, and bob is your uncle
21:38.13CosmicPenguinbut bob is not my uncle, because the switch ain't switchin'
21:39.23kergothi've never tried to connect the uml_switch to the lan via tun before, just used uml_switch between uml instances, and tun directly to one of them, with that instance doing nat
21:39.34kergothuml_switch is supposed to support that though..

21:51.10CosmicPenguinyeap, tuntap works, but I had to change the route to be specific to my host
21:52.11kergothah
21:56.02sorphinheh
21:56.53CosmicPenguinindeed strange

22:49.17CosmicPenguinthat was a wasted afternoon
22:52.29kergothheh
22:55.38CosmicPenguinI was trying to get a nfs mount working, and I kept getting error messages
22:55.50CosmicPenguinuntil I figured out that I had not build the NFSd on my host, or the NFS filesystem on the UML
22:55.56CosmicPenguinbah
