00:45.01CosmicPenguinyep
00:45.11CosmicPenguinThere's a pretty cool martini bar there called the Devil's Martini
00:46.43prpplaguehehe this is what i wrote about flying dog
00:46.46prpplague"definetly a buy again brew. nice aroma with a copper red color, mild flavor with ciric overtones, and a mild finish. this is a little light on the hops, but this is a brew i'd by a six pack of just to drink at leisure."
00:47.34CosmicPenguinThe ratebeer was mean to in heat wheat, but I rather enjoy it
00:47.48CosmicPenguinNot my favorite colorado beer by far, but its not bad
00:49.17CosmicPenguinThis is my current favorite local beer: http://ratebeer.com/beer/left-hand-milk-stout/12028/

01:19.40vittoriothe slides at free-electron.com are great!
01:21.46vittorioon slide says: "Nand Flash Translation Layer In the USA, can only be used on DiskOnChip hardware" due to patents
01:22.33vittorioso there could be patent problems selling a ARM system with NAND flash?
01:24.46prpplaguevittorio: no nand flash is fine, its only if you use the proprietary NFTL
01:24.59prpplaguevittorio: you would be able to get a clearer answer on the mtd mailing list
01:25.03prpplaguevittorio: or on #mtd
01:25.14prpplaguevittorio: #mtd is a low volume channel
01:25.46vittoriook, google will help me too with NFLT patent mtd keywords probably, thanks
01:26.34Croftonhmm, kergoth who is the employer?
01:33.04MonMothagrr
01:33.09MonMothaanyone know if rat shack still sells cooling fans
01:33.51prpplagueMonMotha: yea i think they still do
01:33.57prpplagueMonMotha: but the selection is limited
01:34.14MonMothawell, I think my Athlon would like to have a working fan, even if it is from a limited selection
01:34.50prpplagueMonMotha: got most of my usb stuff working
01:34.58prpplagueMonMotha: using libusb instead of usbnet
01:41.57vittorioah ok, so theres no problem when using JFFS2 with NAND (which we do)

01:59.47MonMothaprpplague: good to hear.  I was always under the impression that the usbnet driver may have been a bit flakey/picky
02:00.02MonMothaWhen I used it with my ipaq, it would only work if I did not include a hub
02:01.13prpplagueMonMotha: yea, i had ton of problems with it
02:01.49prpplagueMonMotha: you can't do heavy traffic with the sa-1110 udc
02:01.57prpplagueMonMotha: or else the host control freaks out
02:05.01MonMothaprpplague: I'd be tempted to revise that to "you can't do anything with the sa-1110 udc" based on what I've heard, but due to my lack of direct experience with it, I'll withold that comment
02:05.45MonMothaand yes, rat shack had a single suitable fan.  Unfortunately it was attached to a crap-ass heatsink (which I'm not using) and ran me $20 for the assembyl
02:06.13prpplaguejeeze
02:06.27prpplagueMonMotha: yea, i had to do all kinds of software tricks to get this udc to work
02:07.55MonMothathat and the other proc's fan is not sounding too good
02:08.05MonMothaI'll likely replace them both when I get a chance to buy fans at a reasonable price
02:08.19MonMothaI swear, if I could get a fan with an unconditional lifetime warranty, I'd do it even at $50 for the damn fan
02:08.24MonMothaI'd probably get my money's worth, too
02:08.49prpplaguehehe
02:09.13MonMothaand yeah, I've been told that using the SA-1110 udc amounts to "perform register write, read register, compare to written value, loop if not equal"
02:09.25prpplaguehehe yea
02:09.45MonMothaiirc, the hh.org bootloader has a procedure that's named something like "bang_udc_register"
02:09.47prpplaguei basically had to add in some cksum's to my data
02:10.07prpplagueMonMotha: hehe massive attack i think it was called

02:18.00MonMothathere is no ABC affiliate in town, and the nearest one refuses to let the cableco pull their signal
02:18.21MonMothaI guess I could go put a giant log periodic up on the ham radio club's tower and point it at Indy

02:30.05MonMothaCrofton: from a dorm room?
02:30.33MonMothaI've been tempted to do some stuff, but I'll have to get the ham club's dish mounted first
02:30.41MonMothaI'm ops for the club, so I can do pretty much whatever I want
02:45.43Croftonheh
02:45.48CroftonWhat club?

15:12.08Croftonhmm future combat system?
15:12.17kergothactually, i'm going through a contracting company, not working for them directly.. so i'm like 3 companies removed from the actual government

15:13.02Croftonwe do stuff related to the joint tactical radio system
15:13.05Croftoner JTRS
15:13.22Croftonit may come up, along with a bunch of people giggling
15:13.27prpplaguekergoth: i thought most of those jobs required a degree?
15:14.00CroftonI suspect the three degrees of seperation from the prime reducdes that requirement
15:14.16prpplagueCrofton: ?
15:14.31kergothright, the subcontractor wouldnt have direct hired me without a degree
15:14.32Croftonhe is going through a contracting co
15:14.45Croftonso if he scews up, it is easy to "dispose" of him

15:18.29Croftonthey have noted batteries are a problem :)
15:18.43kergothprpplague: multiple people there expected the lack of a degree to be an issue, including russ.  i was surprised that it didnt seem to be
15:18.56beebledont you have any personal problems to work on military projects?
15:19.25prpplaguekergoth: hmm, shame, since i have army experience, i figured it would be a good match
15:19.33kergothnot particularly.  getting security clearance will open up a number of positions in the future
15:19.37CroftonI like the switch to linux
15:19.39prpplaguekergoth: hehe, i even trained at benning
15:19.51beeblepersonal as in ethical values i mean
15:20.00kergothah.
15:20.10Croftoneventually you get over the ethics issues, because you need the money ...
15:20.29kergothi don't really have any ethical issues with it.
15:20.37Croftonand you have to divorce the idiots in charge from the people doing the work
15:20.52prpplaguewhat ethical values would prevent you from doing work for the military?

15:21.41Croftonbut in the end, I suspect mmore benfit comes from may defense programs than harm
15:21.53Croftonmany defense programs
15:22.00prpplaguei see
15:22.03beeblethe thing that i know that my stuff will maybe used to kill other ppl
15:22.11beebleits hard to decide i know
15:22.40Croftonon the other hand, if the guys sent in harms way have better stuff, it may save people
15:22.53kergothindeed, it could certainly help keep /our/ people safe

15:23.00kergothi have no issues with it

15:23.55beeblemy 8 months in the army was more then enough for me

15:58.56MonMotha?
15:59.10prpplagueMonMotha: hey, wanted to run something by you
15:59.11MonMothaand I'm not sure is my answer to your above question
15:59.39prpplagueMonMotha: here is what i'm looking to do
16:00.00prpplagueMonMotha: basically add a character device node thats connected to the usb
16:00.08prpplagueMonMotha: similiar to the usb-char driver
16:00.17prpplagueMonMotha: on the the slave
16:00.53prpplagueMonMotha: have a daemon listening to the char node and basically taking requests to send/recieve data
16:00.57MonMothahum, I'm not very familiar with the "linux on the slave device" situation
16:01.04prpplagueahh
16:01.08prpplagueMonMotha: oh well then
16:01.13MonMothamy work has mostly been with linux as the host
16:01.17prpplagueahh
16:01.22MonMothasomething far more embedded than Linux on the device :)
16:01.30prpplaguemaybe someone else who's listening might comment
16:01.39prpplagueMonMotha: hehe yea
16:01.42MonMothalet's just say the software that runs on the device I wrote a driver for is written entirely in assembly :)
16:02.18prpplagueMonMotha: really into pain i gather?
16:14.15MonMothaprpplague: well, it's small enough to not really matter
16:14.17prpplagueok i've now reflashed my device 300 times since 6am
16:14.32MonMothaI think the entire firmware binary is < 1.5kB, and like 400 bytes of it is strings
16:15.28prpplagueMonMotha: nice
16:15.33prpplagueMonMotha: which ez-usb device are you using?

16:19.04MonMothaoh, I had a USB I2C/IO
16:19.13prpplagueahh
16:19.13MonMothapretty minimal, but a lot cheaper than Cypress's
16:19.18prpplagueMonMotha: url?
16:19.26MonMothagoogle usb i2cio
16:20.21prpplagueahh yea i think i have that one listed on the wiki
16:20.35MonMothaI'd not recommend it for new designs
16:20.39MonMothathe chips on that thing are hard to come by
16:20.49MonMothaCypress EOL'd them with no warning, no last buy, no nothing
16:21.00MonMothaone day it was good for new designs, the next EOL and nobody carried it
16:21.00prpplagueyea i have that one listed
16:21.18prpplagueMonMotha: this is what i have - http://www.the-console-corner.com/shop/product.php?productid=6546
16:21.51prpplaguebasically identical to several of the dev boards
16:21.58MonMothaah
16:22.19MonMothakinda like how if you wanted to develop for that one Cirrus ARM chip, the Webpal was basically a production run of their dev board :)
16:22.29prpplagueyea
16:22.57prpplagueall the i/o is either on the cardedge slot or has solder pads on the pcb
16:23.17prpplaguethey did a great joke on the pcb for hackers
