15:25.56CosmicPenguinworks for me
15:25.59prpplaguechouimat: hehe, going to do some tours, hehe

15:26.41CosmicPenguinfun
15:26.49chouimatprpplague: cool
15:26.56prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe i've been on both before, but funny thing is that my wife has never been
15:27.17prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe i'll be wasted by the end of the day as both tours include free drinks afterwards
15:27.29CosmicPenguinThats usual though - there are lots of things in Wyoming that I have never done
15:27.34CosmicPenguinChuckwagon dinners and such
15:28.06prpplagueCosmicPenguin: gotta find a babysitter for my son for tomorrow night though :(
15:28.16CosmicPenguinthats the price you pay for drinking free booze
15:28.37prpplagueyea its a beoych here though
15:28.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: there aren't any babysitters per se
15:29.03CosmicPenguinheh - is it fair for me to complain about a 7 second kernel boot?

16:39.27CosmicPenguinheh - I love it when people try to recall messages
16:41.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
16:41.48prpplagueCosmicPenguin: argh i still can't get the hang of this fat fs
16:42.19CosmicPenguinIts still bothering you?
16:43.29prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea i still can't seem to figure out how to go from c/h/s to the actual block address
16:44.02CosmicPenguinhmmm....
16:44.24CosmicPenguinThats new territory for me -  I always did fat on a IDE drive
16:45.33prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ahh so you always just passed a c/h/s address and got back data?
16:46.09CosmicPenguinwell, I'm in userland in Linux remember
16:46.27CosmicPenguinbut yeah, generally, I dealt directly with c/h/s, or at least I knew how to turn that into blocks
16:46.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i thought you did some work with syslinux though
16:46.38CosmicPenguinBut I never actually dealt with writing it on the bare hardware
16:46.46CosmicPenguinAnd certainly not on flash
16:46.55prpplagueCosmicPenguin: so how did you know how to turn that into blocks?
16:47.13CosmicPenguin512 bytes... :)
16:47.16prpplagueCosmicPenguin: just looking at it on sd card at the momment
16:47.36prpplagueCosmicPenguin: right i under stand that, but how did you convert a c/h/s address into a block address?
16:49.19prpplagueCosmicPenguin: for example if you have 512 byte block, 60 sectors/track, 1 head, how do you go to head=0,cylinder=1, sector=1 ?
16:52.09CosmicPenguinOh, I see what you're asking
16:52.43CosmicPenguinok, if I remember correctly, each cyl is heads * sects
16:53.23CosmicPenguinSo if you had a freaky ass drive with CHS =10,10,10, then in your example, that would be sector 11
16:53.31CosmicPenguinsorry
16:53.33CosmicPenguinsector 100
16:53.58CosmicPenguinbad example - lets try again
16:54.03CosmicPenguinCHS = 2, 10, 10
16:54.43CosmicPenguinso then  0,1,1 would equal sector (2* 10) + 1 = 21
16:54.47CosmicPenguinor 20, because its 0 based
16:54.51kergothugh
16:55.36prpplagueCosmicPenguin: you lost me
16:55.44CosmicPenguinprpplague: yeah, I lost myself
16:55.49CosmicPenguinok, lets go real world
16:55.56CosmicPenguinwhats your disk geometry?
16:56.40prpplagueCosmicPenguin: for example if you have 512 byte block, 60 sectors/track , 1 head and 1012 cylinders , how do you go to head=0,cylinder=1, sector=1 ?
16:57.02prpplaguewhat block does that correspond to?
17:00.51CosmicPenguinCHS= 1012,1,60
17:01.37CosmicPenguinSo that would be (1 * (60 * 1)) + 1  = 61
17:01.51CosmicPenguincyl * (S * H) + sect
17:02.41CosmicPenguinAnd then 60 * 512 - your raw address is offset 31232
17:02.46CosmicPenguins/60/61/
17:05.47prpplagueCosmicPenguin: wher S= sectors/track and H=number of heads
17:05.52prpplagueCosmicPenguin: correct?

17:08.43CosmicPenguinyes
17:09.02CosmicPenguinBut I can't remember right now if the c/h/s addresses are zero based or not
17:09.28CosmicPenguinduh
17:09.31CosmicPenguinof course they are
17:09.35CosmicPenguinhead=0
17:09.42prpplagueCosmicPenguin: that appears to be correct as it got me to fat entry
17:10.01prpplagueCosmicPenguin: sorry boot sector for the partition

18:05.30CosmicPenguinits not
18:05.32CosmicPenguinand they sort of suck, imho
18:05.46prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, well i mainly wanted the minfo command
18:05.54prpplagueCosmicPenguin: to verify what i'm getting
18:07.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe i know that this file starts at cluster 2 just can't seem to get the transition
18:10.09CosmicPenguinYour bootsector will tell you how many clusters per sector
18:10.21prpplagueCosmicPenguin: right 4
18:10.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: 4 * 512 is 2048 bytes
18:11.13prpplagueCosmicPenguin: so the entry should be 6144 bytes from the start of the partition right?
18:11.55CosmicPenguinits strange - I even have a comment in my mkdosfs code because it confused the hell out of me
18:12.26CosmicPenguinYou have to remove two from your calculations, because cluster 2 the first data cluster
18:12.54CosmicPenguin<PROTECTED>
18:12.54CosmicPenguin<PROTECTED>
18:13.02CosmicPenguinWhere start is the first cluster of the file
18:15.15prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm, i'm confused
18:15.32prpplagueCosmicPenguin: here is what i know the file is actually 163144 bytes from the start of the root directory
18:15.58prpplagueCosmicPenguin: sorry 16314
18:16.23prpplagueCosmicPenguin: crap, doing to many cals, 16384
18:17.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: where is cluster 0 in relation to the parition?
18:17.42prpplagueCosmicPenguin: from what i read, cluster 0 and 1 aren't used
18:31.04prpplagueCosmicPenguin: how big is the root directory suppose to be?
18:34.12prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ok i get it, so basically custers 0 and 1 don't really exist in the numbering scheme
18:34.47prpplagueCosmicPenguin: because those cluster spaces are used for other data
18:37.37prpplagueCosmicPenguin: bob might not be my uncle but atleast i know him on first name basis

19:57.05prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe nothing like having a shell script to read a dd image and testing my flow chart, hehe
20:01.24CosmicPenguinprpplague: yeah  - but that depends more on your memory structure then anything

20:06.59prpplagueT0mW: just learning
20:07.07T0mWi.e. does the processor detect which code is which and dynamically switches modes?
20:07.23prpplagueT0mW: no, you have to switch modes
20:07.27T0mWah
20:07.45T0mWit looks like the lpc2106 comes up in thumb mode and my code is 32bit

20:10.00prpplagueT0mW: hehe, learn as you go
20:10.20T0mWprpplague: watch out for the lpc2000 chips, the ETM (Extended Trace Macrocell) will override a whole sh!tload of pins functions if you use the primary JTAG interface.
20:10.33prpplagueT0mW: yikes
20:11.21T0mWprpplague: you have to use the freakin' secondary JTAG port to get abbreviated debug functionality.  No ETM, but you have to execute startup code to manually switch from primary to secondary jtag.
20:11.36T0mWprpplague: PITA
20:11.42prpplagueT0mW: lovely
20:12.25T0mWprpplague: chicken 'n egg problem, you need to put code in it to switch to secondary JTAG, but you have no functional JTAG to dump the startup code into the part.
20:12.43T0mWprpplague: you have to use their goofy loader
20:13.05prpplagueT0mW: jeeze

20:19.01T0mWIMHO, the hotplate is a curiousity and a bad idea
20:19.59prpplagueT0mW: ahh didn't really think about it, just said he was gonna try it based on the stuff from sparkfun
20:20.04prpplagueT0mW: small boards
20:20.43T0mWprpplague: they are getting the hotplate to work with tiny boards (sparkfun) and most likely the convection heat off the bottom of the pan is contributing to the solder reflow.  I seriously doubt that you could conduct the heat from the bottom of the fiberglass to the top to melt the solder paste without destroying the adhesive in the fiberglass
20:21.05prpplagueahh
20:21.12T0mWprpplague: I tried it, I can still smell burnt 'glass in my house
20:21.17T0mW:-(
20:21.27prpplaguehehe
20:22.17prpplaguei have to wonder who is buying all this scox stock, i see about 40k shares moving every day
20:22.18T0mWthe glue that holds the traces to the bottom of the PCB broke down under heat and smoked, that was before the paste melted.  It was a large board 5"X8"
20:22.25T0mWLOL
20:22.46prpplagueT0mW: ahh, guess i should tell him to try the oven instead
20:22.49T0mWprpplague: maybe the CEO and CIO of SCO ?
20:23.00prpplagueT0mW: but who's buying it ?
20:23.18T0mWprpplague: 2 mins at 120C, 1 min at 150C and 1 min at 180C
20:23.34T0mWprpplague: 30 seconds into the 180C it melts
20:23.38prpplaguecool
20:23.47prpplagueT0mW: gotta run get the critters from school

22:36.02CosmicPenguinOh, I've soooo been there
22:44.43T`2hmm nice.. just signed up for comcast internet
22:44.48T`219.99/month
22:45.04T`2if anyone is looking for a good deal.. this is it :-)
22:45.30CosmicPenguinExcept of course, the "comcast" and "internet" parts
22:45.36T`2lol
22:45.41T`2its been quite reliable cp
22:45.59T`2used it for a month now (shared it with neighbour)
22:46.06T`2too bad they are moving back to korea
22:46.14CosmicPenguinreliable isn't the problem - its shared, full of crap on your side of the firewall, and just generally unhappy
22:46.19CosmicPenguinplus you can't run services legally
22:46.42T`2really? so you can't run a webserver ?
22:46.48T`2they are giving 7 static ips
22:46.57CosmicPenguinOh, they are?
22:46.58CosmicPenguinThats new
22:47.11T`2i was hoping to host some stuff
22:47.20jbevrengiving ip != allowing hosting
22:47.24jbevrenhowever
22:47.30jbevrenhost stuff on 8080 :)
22:47.32T`2jbevren, well, mostly thats the intension unless they are being shady
22:47.35jbevrenand dont plan on connecting to port 25 outbound
22:47.37jbevrenthey dont allow that either
22:48.08CosmicPenguinWhen I had it, it was dhcp, and they portscanned
22:48.08CosmicPenguin<CosmicPenguin> of course, they only portscanned the usual ports
22:48.08CosmicPenguin<CosmicPenguin> so you could hide ssh somewhere else
22:48.36T`2what happens if they find out u got a ssh server running?
22:48.44jbevrendont know
22:48.44T`2auto disconnect?
22:48.45jbevrenI'm not a client
22:48.46CosmicPenguinyou get a letter warning you to take it down
22:48.49T`2lol
22:49.05T`2thats retarded.. lets see if they still stick to that policy
22:49.15CosmicPenguinI think if you don't comply or get caught multiple times they boot you
22:49.24CosmicPenguinthe other problem is that you're behind the firewall with all the other script kiddies
22:49.53CosmicPenguinso its pretty nasty - I think I got portscanned more on that network then I do now with a DSL and static IP
22:50.28T`2umm i c.. i'll be a bit more careful.. i wasn't aware of that problem
22:50.39T`2do they use switches within the apt wiring ?
22:50.48T`2or else you could probably see everyone's traffic
22:51.04CosmicPenguinThey use switches  of course - the ethernet isn't shared
22:51.12CosmicPenguinIt is within your neighbor hood though
22:51.34CosmicPenguinNot sure how many users per switch though - 256 is stick in my head, but I might be wrong
22:51.45T`2T0mW, have fun
22:51.46CosmicPenguinhehe
22:52.01T`2well.. hell ain't that bad now a days i hear..
22:52.16CosmicPenguincertainly well populated
22:52.24T`2lol yea
22:52.24jbevrenits not users per switch thats improved
22:52.31jbevrennewer digital cable equip has more bandwidth
22:52.34jbevren<PROTECTED>
22:52.41jbevrenso your 'hood upstream is fatter piped
22:52.44jbevrenafaik
22:52.45T`2yea, its 4mbps now.. upload kinda sux.. 768k
22:52.54jbevrenI have 1.544/512
22:52.57jbevrenso dont whine :)
22:53.02CosmicPenguinanother reason why they try to restrict services
22:53.07jbevrenmind you, I'm on dsl
22:53.14jbevrenCosmicPenguin: IIS installations? :)
22:54.03CosmicPenguinheh
22:54.16T`2cp, you mean the neighbour hood networks are seperated by a switch or individual apt/households ?
22:55.24T`2at the univ, we had individual wiring for everyone.. so no one can really sniff on you
22:55.55*** part/#elinux lnwlf (n=lnwlf@208.255.225.67)
22:56.30CosmicPenguinT`2: it might have changd, but when I had it, the modems were switched at the curb, so you saw arps and traffic for everybody on your block, or whatever
22:56.35CosmicPenguinup to N users, whatever N may be
22:56.58T`2damn.. now thats really retarded
22:57.28CosmicPenguinWell, its the price you pay - the good news is that you have pipes into everybody's house for pretty much free
22:57.38CosmicPenguinall it takes is the hardware at the curb and the whole neighboor hood is set
