00:12.55 | elg | just cleaned the dishwasher. ugh |
00:46.31 | levi | elg: How was it dirty? |
00:47.13 | findlay | sontek: openmoko in production as of the 10th |
00:47.19 | elg | gunk in and under the drain (had to undo some bolts to get in and get it all) |
00:47.38 | elg | and I mean a lot of gunk. and it was making dishes dirtier than when they went in |
00:48.06 | levi | Ew. |
00:48.15 | elg | so got all the gunk off, now I'm running an empty load with vinegar |
00:48.18 | levi | I want a new dishwasher. |
00:48.41 | elg | so fire the one you have. ;-) |
00:49.25 | levi | Heh. |
00:49.41 | levi | I want a fancy, quiet, efficient stainless steel one. |
00:49.50 | levi | That's mounted correctly. |
00:50.32 | elg | i'd settle for one that washes |
00:50.45 | levi | Also, granite countertops. |
00:51.03 | elg | but I am hopeful |
00:51.16 | elg | there was more than enough gunk in there to account for the bad washing |
00:51.39 | levi | Yeah... if it's actually heating up and spraying water, it will probably work when you're done cleaning. |
00:52.08 | levi | I've never heard of a dishwasher getting that bad. I wonder what it's been through. |
00:54.57 | elg | probably just stuff gathered over time. maybe stuff that doesn't grind put in the garbage disposal that refluxed back into the dishwasher |

04:19.48 | dmdavis | so, I need to get some software of ours running on RISC machines, so I need to buy one to develop on. any suggestions for an inexpensive one? looking on ebay, but not sure what to look for |
04:20.12 | dmdavis | I've searched google and wikipedia, but all I've come up with so far is that I think I want an HP 9000 |
04:25.07 | elg | which architecture exactly? |
04:25.12 | elg | there are several risc architectures |
04:26.24 | dmdavis | elg: well, I don't know that. AHHHHhhhhh.... |
04:26.47 | dmdavis | I'm not sure. I saw that Linux runs on RISC, and my program runs in Linux |
04:27.17 | dmdavis | I just need to get linux installed on a risc system so that I can make sure my program runs there, and then make a live CD that will boot on most (hopefully all) RISC systems |
04:27.30 | dmdavis | ones that run HP Unix |
04:27.46 | dmdavis | is that possible? do I need more specific information? |
04:30.17 | elg | linux runs on lots of architectures. if your code is portable, it will too (endianness being the most likely hangup, or problems with other Unices if you're not targeting linuxes) |
04:30.31 | elg | but one boot disk to run on many risc architectures, unlikely |
04:30.42 | elg | at least not without serious wizardry |
04:30.54 | dmdavis | OK |
04:31.17 | elg | hppa is the most common architecture for hpux workstations |
04:31.33 | elg | i had one of those once, it was pretty cool. and very heavy. built like a tank |
04:31.38 | elg | and used a lot of electricity :) |
04:31.41 | dmdavis | smiles |
04:31.44 | dmdavis | I bet |
04:31.58 | dmdavis | I've seen a couple hp 9000s on ebay, and they look massive |
04:32.20 | elg | parisc-linux.org |
04:32.33 | elg | i think mine was a 9000, but I don't remember for sure |
04:33.03 | elg | so in short, you need to find out if the machines you are hoping for are all the same architecture |
04:33.50 | dmdavis | OK, thanks |
04:33.59 | dmdavis | very good to know before I make the purchase |
04:34.35 | elg | getting an old hp workstation isn't so much a purchase as a DI treasure hunt |
04:35.06 | elg | or univ. surplus sale, which is where I got mine |
04:35.09 | dmdavis | :) excellent, sounds like fun |
04:35.27 | dmdavis | well, I'll look more tomorrow. it's time for bed now. (It's 12:30 here) |

05:35.13 | levi | Not a lot. |
05:35.31 | levi | I can buy AKG mics at a steep discount, though. :) |
05:35.38 | levi | Not to mention mixers and stuff. |
05:39.40 | elg | my wife is "getting me" a mic for father's day |
05:39.51 | elg | ~ $50-$60 price range |
05:40.46 | elg | we'll probably go to guitar center and browse/ask salesmen, but I'm prepping by getting my head around the various variables |
05:42.18 | levi | Heh. Yeah, gifts aren't quite the same when you're buying them for yourself, are they? |
05:42.38 | elg | you're not allowed to get one at discount for me, probably |
05:42.41 | levi | My wife keeps asking me how much to sell suff at the yard sale for tomorrow, as if I have any idea. |
05:42.51 | elg | yeah. my wife is bad at gifts |
05:43.05 | levi | elg: Not unless I buy it a year in advance of when I sell it to you. |
05:43.07 | elg | she'll want to get one but then not want to actually get it |
05:43.18 | elg | i suppose you don't have a time machine. :) |
05:43.28 | levi | Nope, sorry. :) |
05:44.02 | levi | Some stuff I can buy at somewhat of a discount for friends, but there's not anything set up for the AKG stuff. |
05:44.36 | elg | i think i'm going to aim for the flattest frequency response I can get for that price, which might mean a condenser mic. the dynamics are more rugged they say, but do you think a condenser is closer to an egg or a laptop in how careful i would have to be with it? |
05:45.07 | elg | this looks tempting http://www.guitarcenter.com/Nady-SCM-900---CM-90-Studio-Microphone-Package-277523-i1127290.gc |
05:45.11 | levi | That's completely beyond my knowledge. :) |
05:46.07 | levi | elg: And even when it's a good gift, *you* paid for it. :) |
05:46.16 | elg | yup :) |
05:46.33 | levi | The whole thing is kind of silly. |
05:46.36 | elg | oh well, at least I get to influence what I get |
05:46.48 | levi | Yeah. |
05:46.55 | elg | when we were first married she bought me a christmas ornament |
05:47.23 | elg | i didn't balk at it, but she could tell it didn't do much for me |
05:47.50 | elg | but i think she feels like it's cheating to get me what I really want, since I'm so predictable :) |
05:49.37 | elg | so since i'm going to utah this summer after all, i get to go around recording various organs |
05:50.01 | elg | hopefully i can get an audience with the tabernacle and maybe madeline and conf center organs too |
05:50.08 | elg | along with all the byu organs |
05:51.13 | elg | hrm, i'd need a preamp with phantom power to run a condenser mic |
05:51.28 | levi | Are you recording for samples, or recording musical performances? |
05:51.43 | elg | performances |
05:52.02 | elg | of scales and musical pieces |
05:52.16 | elg | a scale for each stop |
05:52.23 | elg | then pieces with various stops pulled |
05:52.54 | levi | What're you doing this for? Just to hear what they sound like? |
05:54.11 | elg | my research |
05:54.27 | elg | my project is to identify organ stops in audio recordings |
05:55.01 | elg | if i can record the (many) stops at the tabernacle, I could use professional recordings of that organ, which would give me a lot more data with a lot less work |
05:55.40 | elg | otoh, each recording will probably have been processed differently, so i'll want some stuff that I recorded all with the same setup |
05:55.56 | levi | So, you'd play a piece, and your software would tell you which organ stops were in use in a given passage? |
05:56.00 | elg | yup |
05:56.11 | levi | I guess it would have to be organ-specific? |
05:56.58 | elg | yes, but i will also try a more general variant - where you can't name the stops specifically but can say it has a stop of this family and one of that family |
05:57.14 | levi | Cool. |
05:57.46 | elg | e.g. an 8' diapason usually sounds like an 8' diapason, although they may go by a variety of names (principal, diapason, or a variant of one of those in other languages) |
05:58.04 | levi | Not the least bit relevant to me, but it sounds like it'll take a lot of interesting work. |
05:59.03 | levi | So, I wonder how well I'll do on this stupid web programming midterm if I don't do any studying. |
05:59.18 | elg | yeah, it's kind of on the fringe. :) but it will feed back into more mainstream research on instrument recognition, which is quite an active field |
05:59.58 | elg | so relevant, highly unlikely to be scooped, and interesting. what more can you ask for? |
06:00.39 | levi | I dunno, but I'm sure I could think of something. ;) |
06:02.15 | levi | I like the low amount of time I have to spend on these online classes, but the lack of classroom time makes me really apathetic about them. |
06:02.15 | elg | yeah, preamps are expensive (relative to a $60 mic, which is fairly low-end), but this has promise http://www.guitarcenter.com/Blue-Snowflake-USB-Microphone-271267-i1391037.gc |
06:02.27 | elg | the preamp and power are all included |
06:03.32 | elg | heh. "Because The Snowflake is designed for the greatest ease of operation and setup, sample rate / word length are not user-definable. Sorry, geeks." |
06:03.34 | levi | I also get a discount at the Guitar Center here. |
06:06.36 | elg | does the same restriction apply? |
06:06.57 | levi | Hey, free AKG mic with a Lexicon MX300. |
06:07.11 | levi | Not that I'm aware of. |
06:07.45 | elg | what's a lexicon mx300? some kind of mixer? |
06:08.51 | levi | No, it's a reverb box or something like that. |
06:10.54 | levi | This one gets pretty good reviews: http://www.guitarcenter.com/AKG-Perception-100-Large-Diaphragm-Condenser-Microphone-103057980-i1126875.gc |
06:11.40 | elg | yeah that one looks nice |
06:11.51 | levi | Wow, you can spend a lot of money on a microphone. |
06:11.56 | elg | yeah, you can |

23:02.42 | levi | Better use it soon if you're going to. |
23:03.05 | elg | yup. researching now. can't decide whether to get the zenith or the sansonic |
23:03.45 | levi | Is there much of a difference? |
23:04.24 | elg | that's what I'm trying to decipher |
23:04.53 | levi | I figure I'll go to WalMart and pick up what they've got for cheap. |
23:06.45 | levi | So, I just helped a friend put up some crown molding. |
23:06.54 | levi | Got to try out my finishing nailer, too. |
23:07.08 | levi | It's a sweet piece of magnesium. :) |
23:10.11 | elg | acc. to their website, walmart has the rca and magnavox ones, for $50 |
23:11.08 | elg | best buy has a rebranded zenith for $60. the zenith is supposed to have better reception. if reception isn't an issue, save your $10 |
23:11.38 | elg | finally found a detailed review on the sansonic and zenith and I think the zenith is sounding better |
23:11.52 | elg | plus i can get it today and not order online :) |
23:20.11 | levi | I get pretty good reception, so I think I'll check Walmart next time I'm there. Last time, they were out of stock. |
23:20.27 | levi | The whole electronics section actually looked pretty empty. It was kind of disturbing. |
23:20.57 | elg | maybe because of father's day coming up and they didn't anticipate? |
