01:10:44 | file | hi all |
02:04:30 | Russ | an instant replay, eh? |
03:03:41 | Russ | dogma is on too |
03:47:20 | ][N-Flux | is away: Sleeplessness... |
05:42:37 | DrewBradford | Does anyone here use Xinerama? |
11:44:21 | Maracatu | somebody know a answering machine for linux? |
14:28:38 | prpplague | morning all |
14:30:24 | prpplague | Russ: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4308570024.html |
14:47:07 | pattieja | prpplague: sounds interesting, what is it? |
14:47:16 | pattieja | prpplague: what is soft/hard IP? |
14:47:37 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: morning |
14:48:36 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: interesting - hows your VDML? :) |
15:16:24 | file | anybody alive? |
15:23:49 | Tangent | file: Yep |
15:24:19 | file | good |
15:25:09 | file | continues to look for set top boxes to blow up |
15:32:26 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i've not done any VDML yet, but Russ and as_ have got me interested |
15:33:24 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: going to the dark side of hardware, then? |
15:33:37 | CosmicPenguin | mourns |
15:33:38 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: lol, why call it the dark side? |
15:34:15 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: just age old hardware vs. software battles.... :) |
15:34:22 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: ahh |
15:34:40 | CosmicPenguin | We can't do our job without the others, but that doesn't mean we can complain loudly about them |
15:34:45 | file | waves to prpplague |
15:35:36 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: well, i'm kinda in the middle, i have to understand enough of both to get things done around here |
15:36:45 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: so, hows the release coming? Has the world been conquered yet? |
15:36:54 | CosmicPenguin | gets out his checkbook, ready to buy a thin client |
15:37:35 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: lol, its not the TC thats the issue, its the server side software thats the problem |
15:38:29 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: managment is pushing the server side software out before some of the utilties are done, and other before they have been tested |
15:41:09 | file | prpplague : isn't that what they always do? |
15:42:50 | prpplague | file: ya, if i don't keep me mouth shut until everthing is ready, unfortunately, i have to give them daily updates on this project |
15:43:13 | file | prpplague : yuck |
15:54:46 | Tangent | Damn it... you send off a CV for Firewall/Router/Unix job, and they ask you "Do you have any windowXP experience"... reply... "only bad ones" |
15:55:07 | file | haha |
15:58:34 | file | hrms |
15:58:43 | file | I'm receiving BOFH excuses on my Cybiko Xtreme |
15:58:50 | Tangent | oscillates |
15:59:14 | Tangent | Why is gtk so ugly |
15:59:42 | prpplague | Tangent: lol, i'll have to remember that come-back |
16:01:04 | file | makes a sculpture out of AOL cds |
16:01:49 | Tangent | I was thinking about using AOL cds instead of roof tiles... Shiny shiny house :) |
16:02:20 | Tangent | My cat is staring at this window.. watching the keystrokes go in... :) |
16:02:27 | Tangent | She likes scrolling text |
16:02:50 | CosmicPenguin | Tangent: my cats are fascinated by the printer - every time I print something, they come running to attack the paper coming out |
16:03:13 | file | goes back to wrestling with sprintf() |
16:03:16 | file | DOWN BOY! DOWN! |
16:03:45 | Tangent | CosmicPenguin: Cool... my cat's scared of the printer, but likes kernel compiles... |
16:06:17 | CosmicPenguin | Tangent: don't we all? |
16:06:54 | prpplague | i have my watch for the "piggy" |
16:07:02 | prpplague | argh, too much coffee |
16:07:06 | prpplague | i have my son watch for the "piggy" |
16:10:05 | file | kernel compiling... agony |
16:11:38 | prpplague | file: lol, not if you have a 2.53 |
16:13:00 | file | wonders if he can store GCC and kernel sources on droid, and compile them on azmarith |
16:14:13 | file | sprintf( linkto, "%s%s%s", "form:", form_name, ":submit" ); |
16:14:17 | file | what is wrong with that? |
16:14:48 | CosmicPenguin | nothing - as long as form_name is null terminated |
16:15:02 | file | it is! |
16:15:12 | file | but then linkto becomes null |
16:15:20 | file | groans |
16:15:24 | CosmicPenguin | But whats wrong with sprintf(linkto, "form:%s:submit", form_name)? |
16:15:36 | file | my compiler don't like that |
16:15:40 | CosmicPenguin | ?? |
16:16:30 | file | gives it a whirl anyway |
16:17:21 | file | didn't work |
16:19:02 | file | maybe I can give it's item structure some information... |
16:19:07 | file | just maybe |
16:20:53 | file | then I'd need to expand my text widget, some more |
16:20:54 | file | groans |
16:21:21 | CosmicPenguin | file: what did it complain about? |
16:21:26 | CosmicPenguin | the compiler, I mean |
16:22:00 | file | it didn't |
16:22:04 | file | but the value was null |
16:25:18 | file | sighs |
16:25:27 | file | I think I'll redo my memory allocation while I think about this |
16:28:27 | file | prpplague : can you give me the tracking number for the TCSX-1 whenever you send it out? |
16:28:34 | prpplague | file: yes |
16:28:41 | file | prpplague : thnx |
16:29:20 | file | *sigh* I should redo my event loop too |
17:08:23 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: did you say you were going to LinuxWorld SF or was that andersee? |
17:20:35 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: I think we might carpool |
17:20:36 | CosmicPenguin | :) |
17:22:04 | ][N-Flux | is away: back to werk... |
18:06:39 | Tangent | it's a shame that a carpool isn't a luxury item... |
18:07:36 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: hmm, i can't decide if i want to go |
18:07:56 | file | mmm? |
18:08:01 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: seems there might be a bunch of history making events going on at linuxworld |
18:15:33 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: other than the M$ issue? |
18:16:02 | CosmicPenguin | is going to make one more attempt to convince his boss to let him go |
18:24:03 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: i'm not sure what all is going to happen, but several of the vendors we get hardware from have, shall we say "highly encourage us to attend" |
18:24:23 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: it might be just hipe or my imagination |
18:25:58 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: well, book the flights now - I have a feeling it will be a good time |
18:26:40 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: ya last year was good, its just i wanted to stick with technical conferences this year |
18:26:54 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: got any idea where you'll be staying? |
18:27:09 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: hmmm.... I guess I would need to figure that out, huh? |
18:30:43 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: naw, we can sleep on the streets like the homeless do in SF |
18:30:48 | file | that was a nice shower |
18:36:54 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: travelocity returns lots of hotel hits |
18:37:54 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: ya the one i stayed at last year was pretty cheap and was withing walking distance of the convention centory |
18:37:59 | prpplague | center |
18:39:23 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: check this one out: http://dps1.travelocity.com/hotsdetail.ctl?ht_ch_cd=JV&prop_cd=21679&hrn_id=NC%20POWWE&show_vr_info=1&city_cd=SFO&list_page=2&available=Y&disp_start=22&hot_location=111%20MASON%20STREET,%20San%20Francisco,%20CA%20%2094102&geo_cd=-122.4094,37.7845&xrate_code=&type_for_ckb=HRN&ht_ch_cd=JV&city_cd=SFO&prop_cd=21679&rate_for_ckb=99.95&cur_cd=USD&disp_start=22&pgdName=hotslist&SEQ=102615364211873607082002&LANG=EN&la |
18:39:23 | CosmicPenguin | st_pgd_page=hotslist.pgd |
18:39:33 | CosmicPenguin | Ugh - that was alot uglier than I thought it would be |
18:39:41 | CosmicPenguin | apologizes greatly to the crowd |
18:40:49 | sjhill | CosmicPenguin: i forgive you :) |
18:49:21 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: http://www.bestwestern.com/prop_05501 |
18:49:32 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: thats where i stayed last year |
18:49:47 | CosmicPenguin | is getting pretty excited |
18:50:41 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: apparently,bestwestern.com is not talking right now |
18:50:48 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: doh |
18:51:01 | CosmicPenguin | now its back |
18:52:27 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: cool |
18:53:23 | CosmicPenguin | room with breakfast = 109... room w/o breakfast = 89...... that had better be a good breakfast... :) |
18:53:31 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: lol |
18:53:38 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: everything is expensive there |
18:54:08 | file | wants his networking gear and new CD-Rom drive |
18:56:04 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: where did you find that price? |
18:58:08 | file | mmm |
18:58:34 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: do the get rates / reservation link, enter your info and go |
18:58:56 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: thats odd, i'm getting rates of $159 |
18:59:04 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: what info are you putting in? |
18:59:05 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: its a bit ugly because either they have broken HTML or IE specific crap |
18:59:33 | prpplague | ohh |
18:59:36 | prpplague | thats probably it |
18:59:39 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: aug 12 - 15, 2 people (my fiance might come) |
19:00:26 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: hold on - didn't read the fine print - thats the AARP rate |
19:01:13 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: hold on again - its the standard rate I guess |
19:01:23 | CosmicPenguin | obviously can't read the damn screen |
19:02:49 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin:lol, i think we can get that rate as a biz deal |
19:03:54 | prpplague | prpplague_lunch |
20:43:14 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: still at lunch? |
20:43:42 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: naw |
20:44:04 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: just having a heart attack from the heavy tex-mex i had at lunch |
20:44:46 | CosmicPenguin | mmmmm...... tex-mex |
20:47:26 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: besides, we don't need to worry about hotels, we just need to know where the nudie bars are..... |
20:48:04 | CosmicPenguin | prpplague: lol - and the bars... :) |
20:51:49 | CosmicPenguin | is trying to figure out how to get paid to go to Defcon and then to LinuxWorld |
20:52:59 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: white papaer - "A Study of Real Time Interactive GUIs" (aka DefCon) |
20:55:21 | prpplague | CosmicPenguin: white paper - "The haggis is in the Fire Now: M$ Motives at LinuxWorld" |
20:59:37 | CosmicPenguin | lol |
22:15:53 | file | hi all |
22:20:23 | bhima | 50 left? ack! :) |
22:21:51 | bhima | wonders if there's anybody awake who knows about ATA busses... |
22:23:00 | prpplague | bhima: you'd probably have to talk to TomW about that |
22:23:38 | bhima | ok. I just had a random idea. not really tuxscreen related. but somebody who can write direct digital IO ATA support could probably tell me how much crack I'm on. |
22:24:05 | bhima | I'm wondering if it would be possible to use a high speed ATA interface on a computer to do generic digital IO. |
22:24:22 | bhima | with an interface and a 512 byte two block buffer or similar. |
22:24:31 | bhima | possibly more blocks in case the computer is unhappy. |
22:29:10 | bhima | any idea how fast you can read foo in from the digital IO lines on the tuxscreen? |
22:34:17 | CosmicPenguin | you mean the gpio lines? |
22:34:31 | bhima | yeah. |
22:42:44 | prpplague | bhima: well, TomW has a 8 bit ide interface created for the tuxscreen |
22:43:07 | bhima | any idea how fast it is? |
22:43:37 | prpplague | bhima: i'd check his web page, i think he posted some data rates |
22:44:12 | bhima | ahh, ok, thanks, will check. |
22:44:13 | bhima | . |
22:45:38 | prpplague | bhima: you got the url? |
22:46:03 | bhima | was gonna search for it. if youv['e got the URL that would help, yeah. |
22:49:06 | bhima | 1.68MB/sec. |
22:55:19 | prpplague | bhima: you find it? |
22:55:42 | bhima | yup. thanks. readign through stuff now. didn't realize it needed custom programmable logic chips. |
22:55:43 | prpplague | bhima: sorry, i'm a little swamped today |
22:56:05 | bhima | ('course, I'm sure I have access to programmers. just didn't realize there was that much to it0 |
