irclog2html for ipaq on 2001.05.17

02:21:10nelsonis back
04:43:26LandWorkhas the iPaq Linux work died down or am I dreaming?
04:43:38a7ryou're dreaming.
04:43:52digdudedefinitely dreaming...
04:44:00jacquesincreasing exponentially
04:45:05a7rdigdude: did you hear that the OSDN HH summit got shitcanned?
04:45:54LandWorkseriously?
04:46:03LandWorkhow is the kernel looking?
04:46:07LandWorkdo they have power management working?
04:46:15LandWorkto the equilivent of WindowsCE?
04:46:19jacquesshit, where did reiserfs.org go???
04:46:45a7rLandWork: Close,.. pretty soon it will be better.
04:46:46digdudea7r: yes I did.
04:46:57LandWorkI has been over 8 months though ?
04:46:57digdudea7r: I vote for the first ever "West Coast Handhelds Hackfest"
04:47:05digdudea7r: in Santa Barbara, of course...
04:47:20LandWorkis any work been going ahead for MIP based linux version for Casio's?
04:47:42LandWorkand what about merging the strongARM kernel with other architectures etc?
04:47:42a7rdigdude: Nod.  I was gonna call it the ``SoCal Handhelds Developer Meet'', but Hackfest is cooler.
04:47:54a7rLandWork: yeah, work is being done.
04:48:06LandWorkwhere can I find the Casio work?
04:48:15digdudea7r: I think "West Coast" if cooler than SoCal, because you might have people from WA, OR, NV, etc...
04:48:26a7rdigdude: Yup.
04:48:31digdudea7r: plus, SoCal reminds me of gangs, high prices, smog, etc...
04:48:44a7rHahaha
04:48:51digdudea7r: do you have dibs on an elk lodge somewhere or something?  ;)
04:49:03digdudea7r: I hear your place is spacious...
04:49:04a7rdigdude: Nah, we'd do it in a nice hotel if we were going to do it.
04:49:11a7rwe could do it at my house.
04:49:40a7rcatering is also a must.
04:49:54digdudea7r: so, I'm rsync'ing the entire handhelds.org::ftp/ tree.  all 3.5G
04:50:03digdudea7r: i'm in a hotel with crazy bandwidth, they must be on a T3.
04:50:07a7rhahah
04:50:14a7rhow many K you pulling a second>
04:50:14a7r?
04:50:43jacquesthey aughta install cvsup
04:50:44digdudea7r: I didn't turn on --progress, so I'm not sure.  let me do some serialized 'du -k's
04:51:39a7rdigdude: So when is a good time for the Hackfest, sometime in July?
04:51:50digdudea7r: i'd have to guess between 320 and 400 kbps.
04:52:12digdudea7r: can any Compaq'ers show up?
04:52:48a7rdigdude: not sure, I'm putting out feelers.
04:52:56a7rit depends on what we're going to do.
04:53:16digdudeshould be finding one of those dvd/divx irc servers, instead of linux/arm/carleton-winder-rpms/SRPMS/...
04:53:26a7rhah
04:54:43digdudea7r: but, once I have this sucker d/l'd, i'll transfer it to my server at home, and then rsync all handhelds.org:: once/week...  :)
04:55:25a7rhehe
05:02:15jacquesgreen: hi
11:15:05nelsona7r: yeah, I notice that the handhelds summit has quietly disappeared.
12:41:26nikosgreen: Are you around?
16:07:11General_Lppl
16:24:50nikosis away: Food
17:29:14nikosis back
17:51:39mikekh77hi
17:52:26what's up, nikos
17:52:26nikosHello
17:53:33mikekh77argh. Ten seconds logged in, and already I need to be somewhere else. bbl.
18:22:30halo7?
18:24:15nikosHello
18:25:08halo7Hi
19:02:18bipolar_awayis away: gone away...
20:31:58BZFlagso jamey's sound patch does resampling in software inside the kernel? Isn't that a Bad Thing(tm)?
20:32:53nikosSounds like it, I think I will let RMK and NP voice their comments. ;)
23:10:20TangentHey mikekh77
23:10:26TangentLong time no see
23:10:28mikekh77waves.
23:10:51mikekh77yeah. Stuff keeping me away from the ipaq world.
23:11:27mikekh77I'm somewhat out of the loop - hoping to catch up on the 31xx stuff, which I understand is a done deal thanks to David Neuer and some other fantastic people?
23:11:42TangentBad stuff... naughty stuff .... bad stuff... naugyhty stuff... ~:(
23:11:58Tangentmikekh77 : Yep... I believe it's largely OK
23:12:10TangentI saw that there was some small problem with the jffs2 images...
23:12:33Tangentthe 31xx series has a different type of flash, so required differently structured jffs2 images
23:12:46mikekh77right.
23:13:38mikekh77When I last heard from David, he said that there was also a problem with the ipaq not being able to download all of the 16 meg images, though that might well have been the same deal.
23:14:15TangentThere's a workaround for it now anyhow
23:14:41mikekh77is that documented somewhere?
23:15:02mikekh77I'm only on digest mode these days - too many mailing lists.
23:15:29mikekh77I'm doing some stuff with Mac OS X... and a bit with Ruby. Too much mail traffic.
23:15:41Tangentmikekh77 : not documented... you just tell mkfs.jffs2 to use 0x20000 for eraseblock size instead of0x40000
23:16:08mikekh77OK... *notes that down*
23:16:13jacquesTangent: is display working on 31xx yet?
23:16:21Tangentjacques : Not sure....
23:16:58Tangentjacques : I spend all day working on intimate today :)
23:17:11mikekh77I got the impression that the display was working now.
23:17:27jacquesTangent: I get tomorrow off!!!
23:17:34jacquesTangent: because I was oncal this week
23:17:36mikekh77I'll have to drop David (and Ignacio, was it?) a line.
23:17:53jacquesmikekh77: that would be cool if it is working
23:17:54mikekh77don't want to be too much of a hassle since I'm not really able to help directly :(
23:18:01mikekh77yeah.
23:18:22mikekh77though, my 31xx is only just recovering from my having left it for a very long time, with the switch in the 'on' position.
23:18:33jacquesmikekh77: heh :-\
23:18:35mikekh77battery seems to be conditioned properly now though.
23:19:29mikekh77this is completely and utterly off topic, but I must say that Spirit Of The Century by The Blind Boys Of Alabama is totally bloomin' fantastic.
23:19:43mikekh77kept me in a fine mood all evening.
23:20:00Tangenthas been listening to C64 classics all day
23:24:37mikekh77I'm going to have to try all this stuff... *writes note to david neuer*
23:27:07mikekh77it'll be good to wipe CE off it, anyhow.
23:27:17mikekh77I'm horribly addicted to Solitaire.
23:28:43mikekh77I'm buying the first bits of an 802.11 network tomorrow. Trying to get my dad to get into using a PC. However, if he has to go sit at it in the spare room, he'll never use it.
23:29:58mikekh77so I'll get a card for the ipaq too, at some point. Have there been any actual success stories with that CF card from Symbol?
23:30:31Tangentwhat chipset is it?
23:31:31jacquesmikekh77: it's not available yet
23:31:44mikekh77jacques: ah.
23:32:04mikekh77It's the same chipset as a preexisting PCMCIA card, if I'm not mistaken.
23:32:24mikekh77Presumably there are power consumption issues, though?
23:32:41jacquesmikekh77: only that it uses same amount of power as pcmcia
23:32:52jacquesmikekh77: because the limiting factor is the transmitter
23:33:02mikekh77jacques: right.
23:33:13jacquesmikekh77: however - it's supposed to have some cool powersaving modes in the CE driver
23:33:29jacquesmikekh77: if you could control the transmission power, that would be very cool
23:33:30mikekh77is that going to be something that can be supported without the extra battery that the PCMCIA sleeve adds?
23:33:55jacquesmikekh77: excellent question - tho it works under CE in that configuration
23:34:26mikekh77OK, I'll probably wait and see.
23:35:17mikekh77don't think I'll be quite up to speed with the ipaq for a bit yet, anyway. Big problem is going to be resisting the temptation to buy all sorts of gadgetry when I'm in LA in july :)
23:37:44mikekh77is handing over the maintenance of his XML parser to someone else... anyone know much about multiple project admins on freshmeat.net ?
23:43:32mikekh77isn't even sure it's possible. Hrm.
23:50:34mikekh77bummer. Freshmeat only seems to support a single project owner.
23:54:42mikekh77OK, time I was away.
23:54:46mikekh77wavea
23:54:54mikekh77waves, too.
23:55:04TangentYou going?
23:55:08TangentGuess so.
