| 00:00:08 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 00:00:13 | Xentac | prpplague: yeah... Shotokan karate |
| 00:00:26 | Xentac | watches "Becoming..." on Much Music.. |
| 00:00:37 | prpplague | Xentac: i'm not familiar with that philosphy |
| 00:00:43 | prpplague | Xentac: educate me |
| 00:01:06 | Xentac | prpplague: what are you familiar with? |
| 00:02:22 | Xentac | Gichin Funakoshi was the creator... he trained under two masters (I can't remember their names)... he developed a set of kata (forms) for beginners and taught karate in schools (upon invitation from the Japanese emperor (I believe...) ) |
| 00:02:37 | prpplague | Xentac: very little of karate, i've read some texts on bushido |
| 00:02:43 | Xentac | one of the more recent forms of karate... |
| 00:02:49 | kergoth_ | greetings |
| 00:02:50 | Xentac | karate means empty (or open) hand |
| 00:03:12 | prpplague | kergoth_: greetings |
| 00:03:29 | prpplague | kergoth_: life at digi fun? |
| 00:03:37 | Xentac | this particular form was developed in Okinawa (sp?) for the peasants to defend themselves from the samurai who were inhabiting... |
| 00:03:50 | kergoth_ | prpplague: hah, yeah right |
| 00:03:51 | prpplague | Xentac: ahh so this is more of an educational trend |
| 00:03:55 | kergoth_ | prpplague: frustrating |
| 00:04:05 | kergoth_ | Xentac: you study karate eh? nifty |
| 00:04:20 | Xentac | kergoth_ yeah... I have my second degree... |
| 00:04:27 | Xentac | prpplague: educational trend? |
| 00:04:45 | prpplague | Xentac: "a set of kata for beginners" |
| 00:04:49 | Xentac | not really... it was enhanced to make it easier for kids to do it... so more was added to it |
| 00:04:59 | Xentac | ok |
| 00:05:03 | Xentac | yeah... |
| 00:05:16 | prpplague | Xentac: aka pascal for c programmers |
| 00:05:21 | Xentac | I wouldn't say the karate is any simpler/easier/less than any of the others |
| 00:05:22 | Xentac | no... |
| 00:05:42 | Xentac | it's just that it starts off smaller |
| 00:05:46 | prpplague | ahh |
| 00:05:49 | Xentac | sort of like learning C before doing assembler |
| 00:05:57 | prpplague | Xentac: ahh |
| 00:06:02 | Xentac | instead it used to just be a pure assembler art ;o) |
| 00:06:18 | prpplague | kergoth_: been there, done that, ohh wait still there |
| 00:06:36 | kergoth_ | I havent trained in any martial arts in quite some time. I would like to return and continue the jeet kune do training eventually. however, i'm too broke to afford training atm. |
| 00:06:38 | kergoth_ | heh |
| 00:07:17 | prpplague | i'd like to find a ti chi class around here, but thats hard to find in texas, lol |
| 00:07:46 | kergoth_ | What I like about jeet kune do, is its lack of kata |
| 00:07:48 | kergoth_ | heh |
| 00:08:56 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 00:08:59 | Xentac | likes the kata... but anyway |
| 00:09:32 | Xentac | thinks that there needs to be a geek version "Becoming"... it like, "Who will be the one to become Alan Cox?" |
| 00:09:36 | kergoth_ | hah |
| 00:09:58 | prpplague | Xentac: my wife suggested we put our son in karate school |
| 00:11:09 | Xentac | has this feeling that any of his children will do at least some training... |
| 00:11:43 | prpplague | hmm, maybe i need to check in on it |
| 00:11:53 | Xentac | but yeah... Becoming Alan Cox... and you'd get all sorts of Alan Cox swag... like a beard... and old hardware... and new hardware... and... ummmm... an email that was digitally signed by AC himself! |
| 00:12:05 | Xentac | prpplague: it'd be an idea |
| 00:12:40 | Xentac | and they'd teach you how to kernel hack... and you could rewrite some driver that he wrote at one point... |
| 00:12:42 | Xentac | it'd be great! |
| 00:12:48 | prpplague | i spend about 20 minutes talking to AC at ols |
| 00:12:53 | prpplague | s/spend/spent |
| 00:24:06 | Xentac | prpplague: that's cool... what did he have to say? |
| 00:26:03 | Xentac | is away: getting beat up |
| 00:35:29 | KeyserSoze | What's a good choice for a Linux PDA? |
| 00:36:22 | KeyserSoze | My tuxscreen is too big to keep in my car, but I think I could rig up a little mount someone for a PDA, and if it runs picoGUI I wouldn't have to start over with my navigation app. |
| 00:36:31 | KeyserSoze | s/someone/somewhere |
| 00:36:51 | KeyserSoze | Seems like the cheapest choice would be a Helio, followed by an Agenda VR3. |
| 00:37:18 | KeyserSoze | Then there is the Sharp Zaurus and the Yopy, and they are > $300. |
| 00:40:19 | KeyserSoze | I'd prefer a color display, or course as large as possible, and with the fastest possible processor, most memory, etc., all for the cheapest price, plus be picGUI compliant :) |
| 00:41:58 | KeyserSoze | I read a bit about the new rendition of strongARM from Intel, called xscale, but can't find any info of ports of linux to PDA's with it, or if any linux PDAs will use it. |
| 00:42:43 | KeyserSoze | it's 0.18 micron vs. the current strongARM's .35 micron, so it'll run faster and cooler than strongarm. |
| 00:43:52 | KeyserSoze | This thing is cool, too: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4054087444.html |
| 00:44:21 | file | who are you talking to? |
| 00:44:35 | KeyserSoze | it's about PDA sized, with a 4" 640x480 color LCD, but has a 1Ghz transmeta crusoe, 256mb ram, 10gb disk, and other cool stuff. |
| 00:44:44 | KeyserSoze | myself, i'm pretty sure. |
| 00:44:49 | file | yeah |
| 00:44:54 | KeyserSoze | other people are welcome to jump in though :) |
| 00:45:11 | file | nah |
| 00:45:17 | KeyserSoze | PicoBot: what's the best linux PDA? |
| 00:45:17 | PicoBot | keysersoze: i don't know |
| 00:45:22 | KeyserSoze | PicoBot: PDA? |
| 00:45:22 | PicoBot | keysersoze: i don't know |
| 00:45:32 | KeyserSoze | file: what's the best PDA? |
| 00:45:54 | file | KeyserSoze: ... any PDA that runs Linux! |
| 00:46:04 | KeyserSoze | there are several to choose from :) |
| 00:47:05 | KeyserSoze | maybe I'll just get a helio for now, and then get a fancy color PDA with Xscale or a transmeta crusoe a few months later. |
| 00:47:49 | file | bbl |
| 00:52:14 | KeyserSoze | agenda vr3 appears to be superior to the Vtech helio. 4mb flash vs 2mb, and a bigger display. |
| 00:56:52 | scan[ibook] | KeyserSoze: check out the softfield VR3s |
| 00:57:12 | scan[ibook] | they're about $120 I think, and even though the developer community on those is small, it's bigger than the Helio |
| 00:58:18 | KeyserSoze | 105 for the 8mb ram version, 135 for the 16mb ram version. |
| 00:58:36 | KeyserSoze | has an optional ethernet adapter for $95. |
| 00:59:27 | KeyserSoze | thanks, scanline. |
| 01:00:15 | KeyserSoze | have you ever used picogui on a PDA? |
| 01:04:39 | prpplague | Xentac: sorry dude, down system |
| 01:04:39 | KeyserSoze | the vr3, for instance, has handwriting recognition capability, but it uses FLTK. |
| 01:08:06 | prpplague | argh, this nassau deal is driving me nuts |
| 01:08:19 | prpplague | KeyserSoze: what device are you talking about? |
| 01:08:31 | KeyserSoze | when? I ramble a lot... |
| 01:10:22 | KeyserSoze | vr3? |
| 01:14:51 | KeyserSoze | wonders if there was one of those channel-split dealees |
| 01:18:29 | scan[ibook] | KeyserSoze: yeah, I used it on the Helio and the Zaurus |
| 01:18:55 | KeyserSoze | could you use handwriting recognition when using picogui? |
| 01:19:35 | prpplague | KeyserSoze: ahh you were talking about the oqo |
| 01:19:56 | KeyserSoze | oh, I *was* talking about the oqo, when I was talking about the oqo. |
| 01:19:56 | scan[ibook] | Handwriting recognition is relatively new in picogui, so I never tried it on the helio. haven't gotten around to trying it on the zaurus yet |
| 01:19:59 | KeyserSoze | it is pretty neat. |
| 01:20:14 | KeyserSoze | was saying the oqo is pretty neat. |
| 01:27:00 | KeyserSoze | newegg has zauri for $350. |
| 01:30:47 | KeyserSoze | ack! The zaurus doesn't have a serial port, except in the cradle. |
| 01:31:04 | gonkulator | thats what wireless is for |
| 01:31:10 | gonkulator | is back (gone 24:06:48) |
| 01:32:03 | KeyserSoze | how do I use wireless to connect to my serial GPS, or my serial accelerometer, or my serial OBD-II converter, or my serial 2 axis magnetometer, or my serial navigation computer... |
| 01:32:42 | prpplague | night all |
| 01:32:43 | gonkulator | um... with another zaurus with wireless and a serial port on the docking station :) |
| 01:32:45 | gonkulator | night prp |
| 01:32:49 | gonkulator | darn it... |
| 01:32:53 | KeyserSoze | too late :p |
| 01:33:34 | KeyserSoze | wants a PDA with like 5 serial ports |
| 01:33:39 | KeyserSoze | muhahahahaha! |
| 01:36:51 | KeyserSoze | the g.mate yopy is selling for $399 from gmate's homepage. |
| 01:37:35 | KeyserSoze | and it has a serial port. |
| 01:42:56 | gonkulator | what is a g.mate? |
| 01:43:12 | KeyserSoze | the company that makes a beast known as "yopy" |
| 01:43:23 | KeyserSoze | http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5725922098.html |
| 01:44:57 | KeyserSoze | http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9898112976.html has a few good comparison shots of the yopy and a zaurus. |
| 01:45:42 | KeyserSoze | ack, it has no compact flash slot :( |
| 01:46:05 | gonkulator | bummer |
| 01:46:46 | KeyserSoze | doh! it has no backlight! |
| 01:46:55 | KeyserSoze | (or light of any kind) |
| 01:48:17 | gonkulator | sounds like a piece of junk |
| 01:48:30 | KeyserSoze | but then on another link, it says it has a backlit LCD. /me is confused. |
| 01:48:45 | gonkulator | sounds like a piece of junk that is being marketed |
| 01:48:54 | KeyserSoze | goddamn it. the same link that says it has a backlight, says it has a compact flash slot. |
| 01:49:48 | scan[ibook] | I think somebody in #tuxscreen has a yopy.. better to ask about it there than speculate |
| 01:50:20 | scan[ibook] | might try #zaurus too if you're feeling brave |
| 01:51:15 | KeyserSoze | i'll try #tuxscreen. www.yopy.com is short on info. |
| 01:52:11 | KeyserSoze | the article that says it has a backlight and CF slot is dated jan 2001. the one that says it doesn't is dated feb 2002. |
| 01:56:35 | scan[ibook] | k |
| 01:58:22 | KeyserSoze | ahh! they're everywhere! |
| 01:58:33 | KeyserSoze | (scanlines, that is) |
| 01:58:53 | scanline | hehe.. xchat segfaulted, then I accidentally opened more than one new one |
| 02:02:58 | scanline | hmm.. motherboard works, both CPUs work, but MP mod failed.. time to try again |
| 02:14:12 | gonkulator | hopes the mod works |
| 02:14:22 | KeyserSoze | wonders what the mod is. |
| 02:14:23 | gonkulator | scanline: use LOTS of graphite |
| 02:14:34 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: basically, you short two pins with graphite |
| 02:15:01 | gonkulator | and that is enough to make it work as advertised :) |
| 02:15:11 | gonkulator | or, better than advertised :) |
| 02:15:19 | KeyserSoze | to overclock? or just to get it to work? |
| 02:15:33 | gonkulator | to make the XP work as an MP |
| 02:15:42 | KeyserSoze | ah, gotcha. |
| 02:15:58 | scanline | w00t!!! |
| 02:15:59 | gonkulator | Speedy2 was in here a while ago giving scanline a hard time about it... |
| 02:16:02 | scanline | got it working! |
| 02:16:06 | scanline | bios detects two MPs! |
| 02:16:07 | gonkulator | w00t!!! |
| 02:16:16 | KeyserSoze | has Scooby Doo pencils for athlons, if you need them. |
| 02:16:28 | scanline | had to scrape the surface of the pins first to make better contact, and use more graphite |
| 02:16:34 | scanline | hehe, scooby doo? |
| 02:16:39 | KeyserSoze | yup. |
| 02:16:41 | scanline | I used a 0.5mm mechanical pencil |
| 02:16:53 | scanline | goes to put the rest of his peripherals in |
| 02:17:04 | KeyserSoze | i read a how-to that recommended a specific composition of graphite, and at the store the only ones that had it were scooby-doo pencils. |
| 02:17:06 | gonkulator | grins and realizes that he won't be getting a CPU upgrade |
| 02:17:28 | KeyserSoze | congrats. what MB is it? |
| 02:17:35 | gonkulator | chuckles at KeyserSoze's pencils |
| 02:17:50 | scanline | Asus A7M266-D |
| 02:18:07 | KeyserSoze | gonkulator: fine, then you don't get to use one. I loaned them out to a few people at work who OC'd, back in the day. |
| 02:18:32 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: it isn't a bad sort of chuckle, but more of an approving sort of chuckle :) |
| 02:18:53 | scanline | KeyserSoze: the procedure for enabling SMP on an XP is even easier than unlocking the multiplier |
| 02:19:34 | KeyserSoze | nice MB. do you have any 64-bit PCI cards? |
| 02:19:42 | scanline | yep |
| 02:19:45 | scanline | gigabit ethernet |
| 02:19:50 | KeyserSoze | drools. |
| 02:19:53 | scanline | :) |
| 02:19:57 | scanline | it's the cheap sort of gigabit though |
| 02:20:03 | scanline | two d-link cards and a crossover |
| 02:20:14 | KeyserSoze | two? i don't get it. |
| 02:20:27 | scanline | one in my server, one in my desktop |
| 02:20:28 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: what is the smallest number of computers that can make a useful network? |
| 02:20:45 | scanline | this motherboard has three power connectors... normal ATX and two auxiliary |
| 02:20:56 | scanline | and my 450W supply can supply all three |
| 02:20:57 | KeyserSoze | doh. i thought you meant two in the same pc. channel-bonded ethernet is cool, and not cheap. :) |
| 02:21:05 | scanline | hehe |
| 02:21:11 | gonkulator | lol |
| 02:21:33 | gonkulator | know how to make a cat woof like a dog? |
| 02:21:42 | KeyserSoze | no. :( |
| 02:21:45 | gonkulator | cover it in gasoline and throw it on the fire |
| 02:21:52 | KeyserSoze | know how to stop a clown from laughing? |
| 02:21:59 | gonkulator | cover it in gasoline and throw it on the fire? |
| 02:22:00 | KeyserSoze | hit it in the face with an axe! |
| 02:22:15 | KeyserSoze | why'd the monkey fall out of the tree? |
| 02:22:24 | gonkulator | cause you hit it with an elephant gun? |
| 02:22:25 | scanline | hrm.. no free PCI slots for the USB2 card it came with |
| 02:22:31 | KeyserSoze | because it was dead! |
| 02:22:33 | scanline | oh well.. I like firewire better |
| 02:22:39 | gonkulator | scanline: put the USB2 card in navi :) |
| 02:23:08 | scanline | I could use the onboard sound to save one slot.. but that would probably suck |
| 02:23:14 | KeyserSoze | why does it have a card for usb2? |
| 02:23:30 | scanline | I dunno.. motherboard came bundled with a usb2 card and a 3com ethernet card |
| 02:23:35 | KeyserSoze | is it a pci card, or does it just go in a slot? |
| 02:23:36 | scanline | I won't be using either of them right away |
| 02:23:39 | scanline | PCI |
| 02:23:54 | gonkulator | scanline: can I not have that USB2 card? |
| 02:24:05 | scanline | I'll sell it to ya :P |
| 02:24:08 | scanline | what do you want USB2 for? |
| 02:24:24 | gonkulator | asks scanline to re-read his statement |
| 02:24:30 | scanline | oh |
| 02:24:43 | scanline | decides to not be not dyslexic and unattentive :P |
| 02:25:17 | gonkulator | also wants not to have that 3com card |
| 02:26:06 | KeyserSoze | wouldn't not mind not having a dual athlon system. |
| 02:27:02 | gonkulator | throws a sense bomb at file |
| 02:28:14 | KeyserSoze | verified on Tom Shardware that the a7m266-d does indeed implement it's usb 2.0 on a pci card, and not on the MB. |
| 02:28:25 | gonkulator | shard ware? |
| 02:28:42 | KeyserSoze | http://www6.tomshardware.com/mainboard/02q1/020211/images/dual7.jpg |
| 02:28:51 | gonkulator | was giving KeyserSoze a hard time... :() |
| 02:28:53 | gonkulator | :) |
| 02:28:55 | KeyserSoze | yeah, you never heard of Tom Shardware? :) |
| 02:29:14 | KeyserSoze | it's a really cool site, you should give it a look-see. |
| 02:29:38 | gonkulator | oh well |
| 02:29:45 | scanline | heh.. my motherboard's box has a tom's hardware sticker of approval on it :) |
| 02:30:12 | gonkulator | so does most of the stuff I have gotten |
| 02:30:18 | KeyserSoze | did asus put that on? or the reseller? |
| 02:30:32 | KeyserSoze | has never seen a t. shardware sticker of approval. |
| 02:33:15 | scanline | asus |
| 02:33:35 | scanline | acutally, it's a "asus, rated best motherboard manufacturer of the year by tom's hardware" or something |
| 02:36:28 | gonkulator | talks about 10.2 with Mr. RDF himself |
| 02:37:12 | KeyserSoze | wonders if picoGUI will have noticeably better performance on the VR3 than X |
| 02:37:36 | gonkulator | wonders about KeyserSoze's sanity |
| 02:37:54 | gonkulator | asks scanline: whats faster than PicoGUI? |
| 02:38:00 | KeyserSoze | so does KeyserSoze, but that's not important now. |
| 02:38:29 | KeyserSoze | "The Agenda developers decided that the additional overhead of X is small enough that they did not want to give up the ability to use other non-FLTK X-based applications" |
| 02:38:32 | scanline | KeyserSoze: I've never used picogui on the VR3 so you'd have to ask someone like lalo or sean barnes.. but I'd assume it would be much faster |
| 02:39:32 | KeyserSoze | wants to hear scanline's answer to gonkulator's question. |
| 02:39:47 | gonkulator | scanline: whats faster than PicoGUI???? |
| 02:40:38 | KeyserSoze | guesses, one of those little lizards that runs with it's arms back, and has a big flare of skin it can pop out when frightened. |
| 02:40:48 | gonkulator | from Australia? |
| 02:40:55 | KeyserSoze | south america? |
| 02:41:22 | KeyserSoze | sophie should know, they are her favorite bipedal lizard. |
| 02:41:32 | gonkulator | so go ask her!!! |
| 02:41:44 | KeyserSoze | she thinks austrailia. |
| 02:42:17 | scanline | gonkulator: i dunno... |
| 02:42:49 | KeyserSoze | how about when you grease up a piglet, and try to chase it, and it spurts out of your grasp? |
| 02:42:56 | KeyserSoze | that's got to be pretty fast... |
| 02:43:03 | gonkulator | or light |
| 02:43:06 | gonkulator | light is pretty fast |
| 02:43:30 | KeyserSoze | or a greased piglet in a particle accelerator, at 0.999c |
| 02:43:54 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: yeah, doesn't get any faster than that |
| 02:45:03 | KeyserSoze | you'd have to electrically charge the piglet, of course, or you couldn't accelerate it with the EM fields. |
| 02:45:24 | gonkulator | true, but that is a small price to pay for a super accelerated greased piglet |
| 02:45:26 | scanline | isn't paying attention to IRC much, too busy connecting piles of ribbon cables :) |
| 02:45:56 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: we should send one of these super accelerated greased piglets at scanline's machine and see what happens |
| 02:46:06 | KeyserSoze | wonders if the grease would fly off the piglet from electrical repulsion, and if that would decrease the theoretically top-piglet speed. |
| 02:46:58 | KeyserSoze | is going to go to sleep now, and not get a linux pda until tomorrow. |
| 02:47:02 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: not if the piglet was reverse chared |
| 02:47:07 | gonkulator | s/chared/charged |
| 02:48:14 | gonkulator | um... |
| 02:48:22 | gonkulator | you piglet greaser |
| 02:48:57 | K[greasingPiglet | why doesn't this server let me change nicks as much as I want to? |
| 02:50:07 | Keyser[zzz] | you'd have to charge the grease and the piglet oppositely, and then put a electrical resistor between them. |
| 02:50:16 | gonkulator | yeah |
| 02:50:18 | gonkulator | GO TO BED :) |
| 02:50:21 | Keyser[zzz] | maybe a plastic bag, with airholes for the pig to breath. |
| 02:50:28 | Keyser[zzz] | :) |
| 02:50:52 | gonkulator | goes to pee |
| 02:53:15 | gonkulator | returns |
| 02:56:41 | scanline | builds a SMP kernel |
| 02:58:04 | gonkulator | waits for the phone to ring |
| 02:59:38 | gonkulator | it rings |
| 02:59:43 | gonkulator | is away: talking on the phone |
| 03:21:59 | Xentac | is back (gone 02:55:56) |
| 03:22:47 | scanline | yay, my SMP works |
| 03:23:07 | scanline | but most of the kernel modules on yoshi won't load... guess I'll just get me a fresh kernel |
| 03:25:57 | Xentac | scanline: yoshi is SMP? you bastard... |
| 03:26:20 | Xentac | you know... reading the back buffer... the yopy changed a lot from the original idea... |
| 03:27:11 | Xentac | but the yopy has one thing up on the Zaurus... it comes in two different case colours... |
| 03:27:46 | scanline | haha |
| 03:28:06 | scanline | I did SMP the cheap way.. two Athlon XP's and a pencil |
| 03:28:23 | Xentac | ummm... a pencil...? |
| 03:28:39 | scanline | yep |
| 03:28:46 | Xentac | define... |
| 03:28:47 | Xentac | quickly... |
| 03:28:52 | Xentac | before my head explodes... |
| 03:29:44 | scanline | the only difference between an athlon XP and an MP is one jumper |
| 03:30:18 | Xentac | ummm... |
| 03:30:29 | Xentac | I know what an athlon XP is but what's an MP? |
| 03:31:27 | Xentac | is that like (XP)++ |
| 03:31:28 | Xentac | ? |
| 03:31:29 | Xentac | ;o) |
| 03:32:34 | scanline | MP is the multiprocessor version |
| 03:32:43 | Xentac | oh, I see |
| 03:32:45 | scanline | so.. I just bridged that jumper with pencil graphite |
| 03:33:00 | Xentac | so, sort of like XP being eXPerience... MP is MultiProcessor... |
| 03:33:12 | Xentac | geez... I think the suits have taken acronyms too far |
| 03:33:20 | Xentac | they make them just for the sake of making them |
| 03:33:34 | Xentac | at least in the geek world, when they're made like that, they're funny! |
| 03:35:48 | Xentac | scanline: if you wanted X on a PDA you should have bought a Yopy instead of a Zaurus... |
| 03:40:51 | scanline | I like the zaurus hardware better |
| 03:40:57 | Xentac | really? |
| 03:41:02 | Xentac | there isn't much of a difference, is there? |
| 03:41:05 | scanline | yeah.. compactflash |
| 03:41:08 | Xentac | :) |
| 03:41:10 | Xentac | right... |
| 03:41:19 | Xentac | but there's the yopy propietary i/o thingy... |
| 03:42:22 | scanline | heh |
| 03:42:29 | scanline | I really don't care what software a PDA ships with |
| 03:42:35 | scanline | I like alternative distros like OZ |
| 03:42:38 | Xentac | fair enough |
| 03:42:41 | Xentac | :) |
| 03:42:43 | Xentac | as do I |
| 03:42:58 | Xentac | especially when you have people like kergoth to bitch and complain to |
| 03:43:04 | scanline | hehe |
| 03:47:46 | Xentac | scanline: is that guy on #zaurus on crack? |
| 03:52:12 | Xentac | anotherScanline: don't talk to xx50... I want to see if he continues blabering... |
| 03:52:23 | anotherScanline | who's xx50? |
| 03:52:34 | Xentac | a psycho |
| 03:52:43 | anotherScanline | ah |
| 04:12:18 | gonkulator | time index verification |
| 04:12:40 | Xentac | hey gonkulator |
| 04:12:45 | gonkulator | hi Xentac |
| 04:12:50 | gonkulator | whats up? |
| 04:12:57 | Xentac | not too much... |
| 04:13:01 | Xentac | back from being beat up... |
| 04:13:05 | scanline | hmm |
| 04:13:06 | gonkulator | always fun |
| 04:13:09 | Xentac | we did a 500 kick drill... but only really did about 350... |
| 04:13:14 | gonkulator | scanline: how is your SMP box doing? |
| 04:13:24 | scanline | gonkulator: configuring a kernel for it |
| 04:13:35 | scanline | I'm running a SMP kernel right now though |
| 04:13:38 | scanline | it's really neat |
| 04:13:39 | gonkulator | sounds like a pain |
| 04:13:41 | gonkulator | oooh |
| 04:13:42 | gonkulator | cool |
| 04:13:46 | scanline | just making a fresh 2.4.19 for it |
| 04:13:46 | gonkulator | did you get a lemon? |
| 04:13:48 | Xentac | what's a pain...? |
| 04:13:50 | scanline | it's not a pain... |
| 04:14:01 | scanline | notes that gonkulator assumes too much |
| 04:14:03 | gonkulator | Symetric Multi pains |
| 04:14:14 | Xentac | thinks he's just going to sit back till someone talks directly to him... |
| 04:14:16 | gonkulator | has made that mistake far too many times |
| 04:14:20 | scanline | and it's working fine, hence that implies I didn't get a lemon |
| 04:14:20 | scanline | Xentac: hi |
| 04:14:22 | gonkulator | Xentac: hi |
| 04:14:24 | gonkulator | heheheh |
| 04:14:29 | scanline | whatever... |
| 04:14:29 | Xentac | bah |
| 04:14:34 | Xentac | addresses me... |
| 04:14:42 | gonkulator | Xentac: I am addressing you |
| 04:14:48 | Xentac | I realize that |
| 04:14:52 | gonkulator | Xentac: I am stamping you and mailing you now too |
| 04:14:56 | Xentac | but that whole speal before was not address to me |
| 04:14:59 | Xentac | bah |
| 04:15:03 | Xentac | you heard about my laptop right? |
| 04:15:10 | gonkulator | and the cracked LCD |
| 04:15:10 | Xentac | the other 570... from Ontario... |
| 04:15:12 | Xentac | yeah |
| 04:15:14 | Xentac | did you see the pictures? |
| 04:15:16 | gonkulator | no |
| 04:15:25 | Xentac | http://xentac.net:8085/~jchu/busted |
| 04:15:36 | Xentac | all the ones with an 's' at the beginning are the 1024 versions of the 1600 pictures |
| 04:16:29 | gonkulator | I still think your street is missing the w |
| 04:16:49 | Xentac | and a d? |
| 04:16:54 | gonkulator | that too |
| 04:16:57 | Xentac | :P |
| 04:17:30 | gonkulator | notes that there are lots of pictures of the crack |
| 04:17:47 | Xentac | yup |
| 04:17:51 | Xentac | I took many for the guy |
| 04:17:55 | Xentac | he had to call them |
| 04:18:14 | gonkulator | Ontario sucks, Ontario sucks |
| 04:18:24 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 04:18:33 | gonkulator | oh my... |
| 04:18:38 | gonkulator | I just saw a picture of it on |
| 04:18:41 | gonkulator | is sad |
| 04:18:54 | Xentac | yeah |
| 04:18:54 | Xentac | pretty bad, eh? |
| 04:18:55 | gonkulator | the carnage |
| 04:19:24 | Xentac | I thought something looked wrong with it when I looked at the lcd with it off (you can't really tell, but there is some colour differences) |
| 04:19:27 | Xentac | so I turned it on for a sec |
| 04:19:29 | Xentac | and that's what happened ;o) |
| 04:19:39 | gonkulator | yeah |
| 04:19:42 | gonkulator | thats pretty bad |
| 04:20:03 | Xentac | yup |
| 04:20:20 | gonkulator | I remember when I cracked the LCD on thermite |
| 04:20:25 | gonkulator | I felt like shit for three days |
| 04:20:47 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 04:20:56 | Xentac | this one didn't really matter to me... I was going to turn around and sell it anyway |
| 04:21:04 | Xentac | instead I'll probably get insurance money for it |
| 04:21:12 | gonkulator | that works too |
| 04:21:36 | gonkulator | notes that he had 10 minutes to call Kathy back |
| 04:21:43 | gonkulator | scrolls up for the time stamp |
| 04:21:49 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 04:22:06 | gonkulator | 22:18:29 by my clock |
| 04:22:07 | Xentac | so... the dating man now, eh? |
| 04:22:17 | Xentac | it's 22:28 now... |
| 04:22:20 | gonkulator | yeah, I guess |
| 04:22:25 | gonkulator | 10 minutes exactly |
| 04:22:26 | gonkulator | k, later |
| 04:22:29 | gonkulator | is away: phone |
| 04:22:30 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 04:22:30 | Xentac | ta ta |
| 04:22:46 | gonkulator | ring ring ring |
| 04:22:50 | gonkulator | two rings |
| 04:22:54 | gonkulator | three rings |
| 04:23:00 | gonkulator | four rings |
| 04:23:09 | gonkulator | five rings and to the machine |
| 04:23:11 | Xentac | hehehe, if they ever are on the internet at the same time... I always type, "Ring ring <name>" |
| 04:23:33 | gonkulator | oh, she was definately not on the phone |
| 04:23:47 | Xentac | she uses dial-up...? |
| 04:24:25 | gonkulator | she does use dialup |
| 04:24:33 | gonkulator | but she isn't online right now |
| 04:25:25 | Xentac | *gasp* your gf uses dialup? |
| 04:25:31 | Xentac | that's.. that's... horrible |
| 04:25:39 | Xentac | you can't talk on the phone and on the internet at the same time! |
| 04:25:43 | Xentac | how do you live? |
| 04:25:50 | gonkulator | ok |
| 04:25:54 | gonkulator | is on the phone |
| 04:26:01 | Xentac | guess he'll stop being fecious (sp) now. |
| 04:26:30 | Xentac | ooooooo |
| 04:26:31 | Xentac | oooooooooo |
| 04:26:34 | Xentac | tell her I said hi! |
| 04:26:37 | Xentac | jumps up and down! |
| 04:26:49 | Xentac | with exclaimation points even! |
| 04:27:11 | Xentac | and after doing 350 kicks, that's pretty good |
| 04:27:24 | Xentac | very... ummm... enthusiastic |
| 04:27:46 | Xentac | should keep a folder of spam... and then one day go through and read the subjects... |
| 04:28:03 | Xentac | like this one, "STOP PAYING FOR PORN!"... when was the last time I paid for porn? |
| 04:28:04 | Xentac | geez... |
| 04:28:46 | Xentac | anyway... I suppose you're not actually reading the screen |
| 04:28:52 | Xentac | I'm dejected now and I'm going to bed |
| 04:28:56 | Xentac | my weary body need rest |
| 04:30:47 | Xentac | is away: comatose |
| 04:54:43 | gonkulator | hey laodamas |
| 04:55:34 | gonkulator | oh well |
| 04:55:37 | gonkulator | goes to bed |
| 05:19:09 | laodamas | poke -r scanline |
| 05:19:25 | scanline | recieved message 'poke' |
| 05:21:09 | laodamas | sudo cp scanline ~/etc |
| 05:21:28 | scanline | hmm.. this camera's not too bad in low light |
| 05:21:48 | laodamas | How low? |
| 05:22:01 | scanline | room is completely dark except for my LCD and yoshi's case |
| 05:22:10 | scanline | and I can see pretty much everything |
| 05:22:15 | scanline | I can send you a snapshot... |
| 05:22:26 | laodamas | k |
| 05:22:39 | scanline | problem is that the CCD noise is really amplified in low light... |
| 05:22:44 | laodamas | It needs an nightvision mod :) |
| 05:22:49 | scanline | when even the flourescent light is on, the signal is much better |
| 05:22:49 | scanline | hehe |
| 05:22:56 | scanline | I just need some IR LEDs |
| 05:23:34 | scanline | can you accept the DCC? |
| 05:23:58 | scanline | Yoshi is dual athlon now |
| 05:24:15 | laodamas | neat. How many fans? |
| 05:24:23 | scanline | 11 I think |
| 05:24:55 | scanline | this firewire camera is pretty spiffy.. If I turn down the exposure some the video comes in much faster |
| 05:27:47 | laodamas | nope DDC is broken in this beta |
| 05:28:01 | scanline | whoa this is funky... |
| 05:28:19 | scanline | little bug in the YUV conversion at some resolutions makes for a pretty cool special effect |
| 05:28:20 | laodamas | fink in building xchat right now |
| 05:28:25 | laodamas | along with X... |
| 05:29:06 | laodamas | and 80 other packages... |
| 05:29:13 | scanline | hehe |
| 05:29:49 | laodamas | is rebuilding everything with gcc 3 |
| 05:30:06 | laodamas | anyway 11 fans? |
| 05:30:14 | scanline | something like that |
| 05:30:22 | scanline | I didn't add but one extra fan when going to dual athlon |
| 05:30:26 | scanline | I already had lots of case fans |
| 05:31:01 | laodamas | how many watts does it dissapate? |
| 05:31:11 | scanline | maybe 400 |
| 05:31:33 | scanline | having trouble getting my gigabit ethernet card working though... |
| 05:31:41 | laodamas | Your UPS should be able to tell you (%current load / max load) |
| 05:32:00 | laodamas | Standard PCI grimlens? |
| 05:32:14 | scanline | well, two reasons why it isn't... I only have very simple software for it now, and secondly yoshi isn't on the UPS right now (cord not long enough) |
| 05:32:32 | scanline | well, could be something to do with the 64-bit PCI |
| 05:32:48 | laodamas | with a cheap NIC? |
| 05:33:10 | laodamas | cheap/bad chipset |
| 05:33:17 | scanline | not really |
| 05:33:26 | laodamas | hmmm |
| 05:34:26 | scanline | laodamas: join #bzflag |
| 05:37:56 | scanline | laodamas: I'm not sure whether captain_proton and lurgyman have been spouting Firesign, Tom Lehrer, or just something completely random :) |
| 05:38:26 | laodamas | scanline: sounds like fourtinecookie |
| 05:42:17 | laodamas | scanline: the dark side of ee |
| 05:42:30 | scanline | heh, yep |
| 05:50:50 | laodamas | hates casual differential linear time involution systems |
| 09:14:51 | file | scanline? |

| 12:45:49 | Xentac | whos speeches? |
| 12:45:56 | gonkulator{2} | just people in my speech class |
| 12:46:15 | Xentac | I see... |
| 12:46:27 | gonkulator{2} | doesn't like it |
| 12:46:48 | Xentac | how come? |
| 12:47:22 | gonkulator{2} | because they get nervous and it is boring to watch nervous people get up and talk |
| 12:47:28 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 12:47:33 | Xentac | well... can you blame them? |
| 12:47:54 | gonkulator{2} | yes |
| 12:47:58 | gonkulator{2} | nothing hard about it |
| 12:47:59 | Xentac | why? |

| 12:52:11 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 12:52:15 | carpman{sasami} | gonkulator{2}: by the way, how did scanlines new board work? |
| 12:52:43 | gonkulator{2} | carpman{sasami}: it detected the MPs, and last time I talked with him, he was compiling an SMP kernel for it |
| 12:53:01 | gonkulator{2} | carpman{sasami}: yeah, college is fun |
| 12:53:07 | gonkulator{2} | talked about playing craps |
| 12:53:23 | carpman{sasami} | w00t for SMP! |

| 16:39:07 | DevGirl | HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! |
| 16:39:11 | DevGirl | happy :D |
| 16:39:17 | hikke | Hi! |
| 16:40:13 | gonkulator{work} | DevGirl: I get to take a road trip with my girlfriend this weekend |
| 16:40:16 | gonkulator{work} | I am very anxious |
| 16:40:49 | gonkulator{work} | the best part is that it is a "buissness trip" |
| 16:40:58 | gonkulator{work} | so it is also a tax write off :) |
| 16:41:43 | gonkulator{work} | is also happy |
| 16:41:45 | gonkulator{work} | just like DevGirl |
| 16:42:26 | DevGirl | hehehheheheh |
| 16:42:58 | DevGirl | is sleeping in a couple-size bed :D |
| 16:43:03 | DevGirl | finally :D |
| 16:43:08 | DevGirl | no back aches |
| 16:43:42 | gonkulator{work} | thats wonderful |
| 16:43:57 | gonkulator{work} | is still trying to figure out sleeping accomidations for his trip |
| 16:45:38 | gonkulator{work} | seeing as my girlfriend and I are of a different gender and all... |
| 16:45:46 | DevGirl | :D |
| 16:46:40 | DevGirl | used to use money shortage as a excuse to sleep with boyfriend during trips ^^ |
| 16:47:15 | gonkulator{work} | well, I have a money shortage right now, but when I get back, I am going to be the opposite of money shortage |
| 16:47:32 | DevGirl | yay! |
| 16:47:33 | DevGirl | :D |
| 16:48:07 | gonkulator{work} | gets to spend a good amount of time with her, AND make lots of money. What could be better? |
| 17:03:18 | DevGirl | yeah... |
| 17:03:28 | DevGirl | nothing can be better |
| 17:03:50 | gonkulator{work} | gets to have lunch with her today too |
| 17:06:27 | scanline | is back (gone 01:21:18) |
| 17:06:44 | gonkulator{work} | hi scanline |

| 17:52:37 | carpman{sasami} | ut:d is so much cooler than UNT. Everyone here has a higher geek quotent. |

| 17:54:36 | PicoBot | sasami is carpman's ibook |
| 17:54:40 | file | ahhhhhhhhh ic |
| 17:54:42 | file | Gentoo!!! |
| 17:54:58 | carpman{sasami} | Indeed!!! |
| 17:55:30 | scanline | hi carpman{sasami} |
| 17:55:39 | carpman{sasami} | hi scanline |
| 17:55:50 | carpman{sasami} | I have my zaurus's mac registered |
| 17:56:01 | scanline | good |
| 17:56:13 | file | scanline: how's yoshi? |
| 17:56:17 | carpman{sasami} | scanline: they didn't complain about it in the slightest, I just walked in, asked to do it, and they said "sure" |
| 17:56:24 | carpman{sasami} | ooo, now there playing Jimmy Hendrix... |
| 17:56:27 | scanline | file: still haven't fixed the gigabit ethernet, but everything else is functioning fine |
| 17:56:34 | file | scanline: good |
| 17:56:58 | scanline | carpman{sasami}: hmm.. you have to manually register it? Here they just have a web form thing, and if you use your own DNS servers you can bypass the registration entirely |
| 17:57:07 | file | no ADSL today! :( |
| 17:57:32 | carpman{sasami} | scanline: yeah, they have that here too, but they have to enable it to let you register more than one mac. |
| 17:58:18 | scanline | ah |
| 17:58:45 | scanline | carpman{sasami}: I don't suppose you have any experience with 64-bit PCI and linux? :) |
| 17:59:05 | carpman{sasami} | scanline: nope, no 64bit PCI boards, yet >:) |
| 17:59:19 | carpman{sasami} | scanline: but if you want to make a contribution... |
| 17:59:38 | scanline | is a login on yoshi good enough? :) |
| 18:00:10 | carpman{sasami} | scanline: hehe. I'll let you take care of it. |
| 18:00:43 | scanline | reads his boot messages |
| 18:00:48 | scanline | sure are lots of them on a SMP machine |
| 18:01:01 | carpman{sasami} | Ah, friday I'll be able to walk arround campus and listen to di.fm on my zaurus. |
| 18:01:27 | scanline | wants to finish making picogui work in openzaurus |
| 18:01:41 | scanline | need to fix some pgserver and pgl bugs, and finish a boot menu |
| 18:01:50 | carpman{sasami} | oh, that reminds me. |
| 18:01:58 | carpman{sasami} | where was pgl-launcher segging? |
| 18:02:22 | scanline | not sure, but I think it's in reading the app.conf's |
| 18:02:34 | carpman{sasami} | ah, ok. |
| 18:02:51 | carpman{sasami} | you MIGHT be using old app.confs, but even so it shouldnt seg. |
| 18:03:09 | carpman{sasami} | I changed the format to allow for apps packaged for more than one arch. |
| 18:03:19 | scanline | well, if you want to see what I'm doing just take a look at the openzaurus CVS |
| 18:03:38 | carpman{sasami} | ok, will do when I get home. |
| 18:03:42 | scanline | k |
| 18:08:53 | carpman{sasami} | Well, about time for class. bbl |
| 18:40:31 | scanline | is away: class |
| 18:48:55 | fraggle | yay |
| 18:49:17 | scan[ibook] | eh? |
| 18:52:52 | Xentac[work] | hey all |

| 18:53:30 | scan[ibook] | hi |
| 18:53:33 | Xentac[work] | hey |
| 18:53:38 | Xentac[work] | networking question for you... |
| 18:53:52 | Xentac[work] | my server can send packets (TX) at more than 300k/s... |
| 18:54:04 | Xentac[work] | but receiving (RX) I get something in the area of 9k/s |
| 18:54:14 | scan[ibook] | hmm |
| 18:54:19 | Xentac[work] | all the error count on the RX's of that interface go up quickly |
| 18:54:21 | Xentac[work] | what's wrong |
| 18:54:34 | Xentac[work] | hums the Jeopardy music. |
| 18:54:50 | scan[ibook] | bad cable? |
| 18:54:54 | Xentac[work] | think so? |
| 18:54:58 | scan[ibook] | yeah |
| 18:55:01 | Xentac[work] | alright... |
| 18:55:02 | Xentac[work] | which one? |
| 18:55:04 | Xentac[work] | ;o) |
| 18:55:11 | scan[ibook] | pick one :P |
| 18:59:37 | Xentac[work] | I can't go replacing cable though... |
| 19:00:23 | Xentac[work] | I don't have enough ;o) |
| 19:01:00 | scan[ibook] | got a cable tester? |
| 19:01:09 | Xentac[work] | hmmm... |
| 19:01:11 | Xentac[work] | maybe... |
| 19:01:17 | Xentac[work] | I suppose I could logically think it through... |
| 19:01:22 | scan[ibook] | it sounds like one of the two RX wires might be broken |
| 19:01:36 | Xentac[work] | like... for example... if it happens on my brother's computer as well then it's probably the one going to the server... |
| 19:01:41 | Xentac[work] | nods. |
| 19:01:41 | scan[ibook] | data still gets through a bit, but the signal is very noisy |
| 19:03:06 | Xentac[work] | cause, if I could get that fixed... |
| 19:03:09 | Xentac[work] | hopefully... |
| 19:03:18 | Xentac[work] | er... lemme finish taht last sentence |
| 19:03:38 | Xentac[work] | if I could get that fixed... then it wouldn't take me (an estimated) 25 hours to transfer a cd's worth of divx to it ;o) |
| 19:03:56 | scan[ibook] | haha |
| 19:05:40 | scan[ibook] | reboots yoshi with a fresh kernel |
| 19:16:50 | file | hey all |

| 19:18:17 | file | what's up Xentac? |
| 19:18:19 | Xentac[work] | needs a lot of network cable... wanna help? |
| 19:18:21 | scan[ibook] | hi file |
| 19:18:31 | Xentac[work] | I think my network cables are really poor quality |
| 19:18:42 | file | Xentac[work]: I don't have lots, and the cables I have I need |
| 19:19:02 | Xentac[work] | ponders actually running the cable properly... into outlets and stuff... |
| 19:19:17 | Xentac[work] | maybe that could be a project for this weekend... I'll have to talk to my dad about that one... |

| 21:38:54 | DevGirl | hi, carpman :D |
| 22:00:38 | KeyserSoze | I was asking for opinions yesterday for a good choice for a linux PDA. |
| 22:00:54 | KeyserSoze | anyone have any recommendations? |
| 22:01:12 | KeyserSoze | I'm leaning towards the VR3 right now, but would prefer a model with a color LCD |
| 22:01:36 | KeyserSoze | The lousy thing about the Sharp Zaurus (for me) is that it has no serial port |
| 22:05:16 | KeyserSoze | keeps thinking that because there are 19 names in the channel, that there are 19 people who will read (and answer) his question. |
| 22:05:40 | kergoth | KeyserSoze: it has serial. |
| 22:05:47 | kergoth | KeyserSoze: with the right cable (its $50) |
| 22:06:00 | KeyserSoze | cool! |
| 22:06:24 | KeyserSoze | that's about $400 total, then. |
| 22:36:11 | file | Xentac??? |
| 22:37:05 | KeyserSoze | Xentac's not here right now, can I take a message? |
| 22:37:21 | file | mmm I wanted his Jabber address |
| 22:37:40 | KeyserSoze | sorry, can't help you there. |
| 22:39:06 | file | what's up Keyser? |
| 22:39:13 | KeyserSoze | not too much. |
| 22:39:21 | file | KeyserSoze : I got broadband!!!! |
| 22:39:32 | KeyserSoze | cool. they have that way up north? |
| 22:39:41 | KeyserSoze | cable or DSL? |
| 22:39:45 | file | it's DSL |
| 22:39:50 | KeyserSoze | what speed? |
| 22:39:56 | file | 1.4mbps down, .6mbps up |
| 22:40:05 | file | one of the best providers in Canada |
| 22:40:24 | KeyserSoze | cool. i've got 1.5 down but only .25 up. |
| 22:40:38 | scanline | is away: food? of course not... |
| 22:41:25 | file | it's an ATM based HFC network |
| 22:41:39 | KeyserSoze | doesn't know what HFC is. |
| 22:42:04 | file | high-split fiber/coax |
| 22:42:53 | file | er |
| 22:42:57 | file | hybrid fiber coax |

| 23:22:05 | Xentac | why? |
| 23:22:25 | Xentac | you planning on being on Jabber now? |
| 23:26:21 | Xentac | so anyway... I'm idle again... |
| 23:26:34 | Xentac | needs to eat soon... |
| 23:54:10 | Xentac | file: yeah, you run! |
| 23:54:39 | Xentac | hey scanline |
| 23:55:00 | scanline | hi Xentac |
| 23:55:34 | Xentac | how's the SMP going? |
| 23:55:50 | Xentac | you'd better hope that that pencil lead doesn't wear off, eh? |
| 23:55:58 | Xentac | oh wait... |
| 23:56:02 | scanline | good... still can't get my 64-bit PCI working though |
| 23:56:09 | scanline | so I just put my gigabit card in a 32-bit slot for now |
| 23:56:13 | Xentac | hehehe |
| 23:56:22 | scanline | the pencil lead is pretty protected.. it's under the heat sink |
| 23:57:03 | Xentac | oh, ok |
| 23:57:12 | Xentac | yeah... but with wear and tear... come on... humour me here |
| 23:57:18 | scanline | heh |
| 23:57:19 | Xentac | what would happen if it wore off? |
| 23:57:20 | Xentac | ;o) |
| 23:57:24 | scanline | only affects it at bootup |
| 23:57:29 | Xentac | ah |
| 23:57:31 | Xentac | I see |
| 23:57:35 | scanline | so.. one day it would boot in single-CPU mode |
