| 04:49.54 | absentia | I was pretty sick last thu/fri |
| 04:49.58 | absentia | just came home and went to bed |
| 04:50.02 | biffff | what is strange |
| 04:50.25 | absentia | sat morning woke up with stomach feeling better, but slept wrong and pulled a muscle in my lower back -- so I could barely stand up... that lastest until monday... |
| 04:50.37 | absentia | strange.... it's difficult to descripbe the place. |
| 04:50.42 | absentia | ever seen the movie -- inherit the wind? |

| 04:52.09 | biffff | brb |
| 04:54.21 | biffff | what is tikwiki |
| 04:54.45 | biffff | nice |
| 04:54.53 | absentia | wiki means "quick" (or so goes the rumour) ... in hawaiian. mostly it's for quick editing of web pages, etc. |
| 04:54.59 | biffff | i like this tiki |
| 04:55.27 | absentia | tiki does more than just wiki |
| 04:55.40 | absentia | it does forums, articles, blogs, etc... |
| 04:55.52 | absentia | I like it because I can get at my data now via my blackberry, etc. |
| 04:56.09 | biffff | nice |
| 04:56.14 | biffff | how hard was it to install |
| 04:56.31 | absentia | trivial |
| 04:57.29 | absentia | I don't really want a blog... but I figure I'll become familiar with the technology, etc. |
| 04:57.43 | absentia | I have this installed at work for all my documentation, etc... |
| 04:58.04 | absentia | (the jgraphpad java drawing tool is quite powerful/nice) |
| 04:58.31 | absentia | but since I don't want to lose useful info, I use interwiki to link to notes at spy... for things that aren't work related. |
| 04:59.56 | absentia | I still don't know much about the RSS feeds stuff... but the tiki seems pretty capable, even if the docs are lacking. |
| 05:01.14 | biffff | nice |
| 05:01.36 | absentia | it does file galleries and image galleries etc. |
| 05:02.52 | biffff | nice |
| 05:03.04 | biffff | i just logged in, and am waiting for my email conf |
| 05:03.53 | absentia | should be sent out immediately. |
| 05:06.40 | biffff | tmda |
| 05:06.43 | biffff | opps |
| 05:06.43 | absentia | there are a lot of features in the tiki, but I mostly just want a nice wiki... I like the ability to be able to put my notes somewhere.. and tghen just get there from anywhere with a browser, and be able to search. |
| 05:06.49 | absentia | :-) |
| 05:06.58 | absentia | too much damn annoyance :-> |

| 05:14.06 | biffff | It does webmail also??? |
| 05:14.09 | absentia | yes |
| 05:14.13 | absentia | it's quite vicious |
| 05:14.20 | absentia | news reading |
| 05:14.57 | absentia | I haven't ventured into that corner, yet. (webmail, etc) |
| 05:15.31 | biffff | hehehe |
| 05:15.50 | biffff | login, onlineusers, quick edit, google, top pages, shout box. |
| 05:16.24 | absentia | ok |
| 05:16.32 | absentia | if you adjust the modules yourself, then you have to set them all up |
| 05:16.40 | absentia | since I adjusted my modules, I only had a few |
| 05:16.53 | absentia | and then I kept adding more.. but since you haven't set any for yourself, you get the default that I set up.. |
| 05:16.55 | absentia | that's good. |
| 05:17.04 | absentia | it's what I wanted. |
| 05:17.21 | biffff | nice |
| 05:17.40 | biffff | how long did it take you install and setup. |
| 05:19.29 | absentia | well |
| 05:19.35 | absentia | this is redhat 7.3 |
| 05:20.04 | biffff | rpm |
| 05:20.04 | absentia | so I had to compile a few fixins |
| 05:20.04 | absentia | took me 6 hours. |
| 05:20.19 | biffff | damn, that translates into 3 days for me. |
| 05:20.22 | absentia | but if you have modern components, you should get the tar, untar, make an account, create mysql, run post set up... done. |
| 05:20.25 | absentia | 5 minutes. |
| 05:20.47 | absentia | that was 6 hours after I had successfully installed it at work. |
| 05:20.51 | biffff | i am watching a movie called core. |

| 05:21.18 | absentia | typical |
| 05:21.44 | absentia | the tv show kung fu.. the cop "hacker" never had his fingers ever get off the home row |
| 05:22.00 | absentia | he just moves his fingers as if he was typing... and everyone was just watching the screen |
| 05:22.03 | absentia | I was watching his fingers. |
| 05:22.06 | absentia | lame |
| 05:22.24 | biffff | in james bond file golden eye, Boris, never typed a key on the right side of the kbd. |

| 05:29.24 | absentia | it's somewhat hard on my eyes, etc.. but it seems to work better and have more features |

| 05:32.18 | absentia | Webmail has been an area of much discussion. The current TikiWiki implementation isnt worth listing on a features list. Once we have a suitable packager I can get my Tiki-Squirrelmail? packaged onto mods. |

| 07:44.10 | raduga | hm. sounds like the keyboard might be a little better |
| 07:44.22 | raduga | re: screen |
| 07:44.42 | raduga | I've heard that the 6000 has a slightly better screen than the C-series (a bit more readable) |
| 07:44.54 | raduga | does the C3000 have the old C-series screen, or the new 6000 screen? |
| 07:45.26 | raduga | from pictures, the C3000 screen *looks* smaller... probably because the rest of the unit has gotten bigger but the screen hasn't changed size |
| 07:46.26 | lpotter | the 6000 has a 4" screen |
| 07:46.37 | lpotter | it is slightly bigger than c700 |
| 07:46.46 | kendrick | hey ljp |
| 07:46.49 | lpotter | hiya |
| 07:47.06 | kendrick | been a while, hasn't it? |
| 07:47.15 | raduga | lpotter: I understand. but, does the C3000 have a screen that is more C-700 like or more 6000 like? |
| 07:48.58 | lpotter | i would think more like c700 |

| 07:49.45 | kergoth | hey |
| 07:49.46 | kendrick | what's archos? |
| 07:49.50 | raduga | why do the reviews keep describing the zaurus screen as transflective?? |
| 07:50.55 | kergoth | kendrick: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8307749263.html |
| 07:51.00 | raduga | seems to me that its purely transmissive (for the C-series, 6000) |
| 07:51.29 | lpotter | http://www.archos.com/products/overview/pma_400.html |
| 07:51.45 | lpotter | some are transflective, some arent |
| 07:52.04 | raduga | lpotter: enh. the 5x00 are. I understand that. |
| 07:52.18 | raduga | lpotter: but I hear that term bandied about quite a lot |
| 07:52.22 | kendrick | thx |
| 07:52.24 | kendrick | will read in a bit... |

| 07:53.21 | lpotter | smooth video playback |
| 07:53.36 | kergoth | cool |
| 07:53.45 | lpotter | uses a dual screen display thingy |
| 07:54.08 | lpotter | plays videos on the nice screen, and saves bits on the launcher |
| 07:55.08 | lpotter | they used their own codecs.. so they can show wmv |

| 18:16.09 | Plouj | where do I buy a zaurus sl5600 in Canada!?!? |
| 18:19.19 | Plouj | http://myzaurus.com/wherebuy.asp - both of the links on that page open blank pages for me in firefox :/ |
| 18:21.47 | raduga | myzaurus is no longer on the plane of reality |
| 18:21.57 | raduga | Sharp no longer supports the Zaurus outside of Japan |
| 18:21.59 | Plouj | :/ |
| 18:22.10 | raduga | your best bet is probably eBay |
| 18:22.22 | Plouj | I couldn't find a 5600 on there |
| 18:22.43 | raduga | there *might* be a few resellers with one or two 5600s left in stock, somewhere in Canada, but good luck finding them |
| 18:23.03 | raduga | Plouj: try again, you should be able to find a 5600 on eBay eventually |
| 18:23.09 | raduga | though, probably, used. |
| 18:24.20 | raduga | eh. one is for canucks! |
| 18:24.32 | raduga | actually, there are two 5600s on ebay.com |
| 18:24.39 | raduga | both are "US only" unfortunately for you |
| 18:24.53 | Plouj | exactly... |
| 18:25.39 | Plouj | oy |
| 18:25.43 | Plouj | vay |
| 18:26.44 | raduga | there are a few 5500s that will ship to .ca though |
| 18:27.06 | Plouj | I sux at ebay |
| 18:27.23 | Plouj | plus the shipping is prolyy expensive |
| 18:27.33 | Plouj | prolly* |
| 18:28.22 | raduga | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38331&item=5744350330&rd=1 |
| 18:28.31 | raduga | $10 us shipping, $20 to canada |
| 18:29.03 | SuN | Getting a Z is not easy :) |
| 18:29.08 | raduga | no |
| 18:29.36 | SuN | At this point, the C-series is probably easier to get than the 6000. |
| 18:29.51 | Plouj | C? |
| 18:30.11 | raduga | plouj: if you've a bit more money, the Cx00 are a much better machine |
| 18:30.13 | SuN | SL-C860, SL-C3000 |
| 18:30.26 | Plouj | never heard of those |
| 18:30.28 | raduga | oh! |
| 18:30.32 | Plouj | I learned about the zaurus today... |
| 18:30.36 | Plouj | and I do have a bit more money :p |
| 18:30.44 | kergoth_ | google is your friend |
| 18:31.04 | raduga | plouj: where did you hear of the zaurus? |
| 18:31.15 | Plouj | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:31.16 | Plouj | haahhaah |
| 18:31.26 | raduga | have you seen a live one? or just pictures? |
| 18:31.31 | Plouj | just pictures |
| 18:31.44 | raduga | C-series are clamshell models, with folding keyboard |
| 18:31.54 | Plouj | like sl6000? |
| 18:31.56 | raduga | they have 640x480 vga-style and shape screen |
| 18:31.57 | raduga | no |
| 18:32.00 | Plouj | I see: http://www.i4u.com/section-viewarticle-71.html |
| 18:32.13 | Plouj | they all got linux, right |
| 18:32.14 | raduga | sl6000 is a standard PDA-shape, with 480x640 screen |
| 18:32.27 | raduga | they all, of course. |
| 18:32.39 | Plouj | oh right |
| 18:32.48 | Plouj | I've seen the c3000 |
| 18:32.52 | raduga | the C3000 has basically the same shape as the C700/750/760/860 |
| 18:32.54 | Plouj | but thats QUITE a bit more money |
| 18:33.05 | raduga | the 5500/5600/6000 are different |
| 18:33.07 | raduga | yes. |
| 18:33.12 | raduga | much more expensive. |
| 18:33.23 | raduga | one thing you will want to keep in mind: |
| 18:33.25 | Plouj | I think dell sells laptops for that price... |
| 18:34.03 | raduga | the only *current* models are 6000/C860/C3000 |
| 18:34.12 | Plouj | ok |
| 18:34.12 | raduga | so if you want anything else, you'll have to buy a used one |
| 18:34.13 | Plouj | that helps |
| 18:34.27 | SuN | 860 is USD 550 from Pricejapan |
| 18:34.42 | raduga | yes. that's true :) |
| 18:35.01 | raduga | if you trust IRC for all your tech support needs, go with pricejapan. |
| 18:35.17 | Plouj | ahahahaha |
| 18:35.47 | SuN | Well, to me that's more than some random Ebayer which might just decide to keep your money without sending anything :) |
| 18:35.56 | raduga | SuN: yes :) |
| 18:36.28 | raduga | anyone ever dealt with pricejapan on warranty issues? |
| 18:36.41 | Plouj | lol |
| 18:36.45 | SuN | Not me. |
| 18:36.46 | Plouj | you can use paypal in pricejapan! |
| 18:37.02 | SuN | And moneybookers.. cost me exactly 50 cents to pay for my 860. |

| 20:48.05 | unholy | My SL-5500 locks up when I insert any CF card. Is it possible to flash the rom from the SD slot? |
| 20:49.00 | unholy | On the sites that contain roms, the instructions always use the CF slot. |
| 20:49.08 | SuN | Hmm is the current OS causing the lockup, or is your slot broken? The reflash procedure doesn't use the current OS but directly addresses the slot, there's a good chance you'll be able to use the CF slot. |
| 20:50.12 | unholy | A third party app locked up the device. I pulled out the card and rebooted and I've had the problem ever since. I cant insert anything into the CF slot. |
| 20:50.20 | unholy | The slot is not damaged. |
| 20:50.40 | SuN | The flashing procedure completely bypasses the current rom though, so I would expect it to work. |
| 20:50.55 | unholy | Oh! I see now - excuseme. |
| 20:50.59 | unholy | Thats great. |
| 20:51.10 | SuN | It's worth a try anyway, you'll find out soon enough if it doesn't work :) |
| 20:51.15 | unholy | :) |
| 20:54.11 | raduga | is the SD card formatted FAT or EXT? |

| 21:07.48 | merc | damn. |
| 21:08.18 | SuN | The newer series can update from sd, but I don't think the 5500 can. |
| 21:08.27 | merc | oh, rockon. |
| 21:08.44 | merc | im still too scared to do anything anyway, that and i dont think 6000 is ready yet. |
| 21:11.09 | raduga | unholy: it is possible to flash from a SD card, at least on the C7x0 |
| 21:11.29 | raduga | I believe also on other models- that information on ZUG may be old or inaccurate |
| 21:11.38 | unholy | SuN: thanks for the info. |
| 21:12.04 | unholy | raduga: thanks for that. It's a 5500-SL. |
| 21:12.28 | unholy | raduga: do you know where I could find that out? I'm trying to sell it. |
| 21:12.51 | George | WHAT? |
| 21:12.55 | merc | thing on /. about 3000 review.. |
| 21:12.56 | George | trying to sell a Zaurus?!?! |
| 21:13.04 | merc | couple zaurus haters on the comments :) |
| 21:13.39 | unholy | George: I love my Zaurus, but the battery life of that particular model isn't enough for me. |
| 21:13.57 | unholy | But I love everything else - especially the design. |
| 21:16.05 | George | heh |
| 21:16.28 | raduga | george: are you looking to buy one? |
| 21:16.58 | George | raduga: no. |
| 21:17.07 | George | raduga: I've just bought 2 20" lcds and a geforce 6600, I have no money. |
| 21:17.17 | unholy | :) |
| 21:17.24 | SuN | Does anyone know what font Sharp uses on the Zaurus boxes? it looks a lot like Times New Roman, but it's slightly different. |
| 21:18.02 | kergoth | probably helvetica or something |
| 21:20.29 | SuN | Hm it looks a lot like a font I have called "Nimbus" |
| 21:20.35 | SuN | That might just be it. |

| 23:04.39 | whitey | WOW I am soo mad, I think I may have screwed myself. I bought a Ambicom WL1100CCFC wireless card and it seems that it is CF type I slot while my sl-5500 zaurus that is on the way is a type II which i just ound out |
| 23:05.03 | SuN | Eh |
| 23:05.07 | SuN | Should fit, regardless :) |
| 23:05.15 | whitey | can someone clarify for me if i have infact screwed myself or can i use this card in my zaurus as well, I could have sworn I saw a review saying that it was compatible and recomended |
| 23:05.21 | SuN | A type II slot can take both type I and type II cards. |
| 23:05.23 | whitey | NICE that is what i wanted to hear |
| 23:05.33 | whitey | I am a happy man now thanks a TON |
| 23:05.53 | SuN | Type I is thinner, so if you have a Type I slot, you can't use type II cards, but type I cards fit in a type II slot just fine. |
| 23:06.40 | whitey | awesome thanks for stopping my panic attack, I though I was $60 in the hole and a week or so out on ordering another one :) |
| 23:06.56 | SuN | :) |
| 23:08.02 | whitey | so BTW how are they Ambicom cards compared to say a socket or SMC card? |
| 23:08.22 | whitey | same same pick your poison or what? I think they all use the prism 2.5 chipset eh? |
| 23:08.50 | SuN | Most of them, I guess... you might see differences in power consumption, but it remains a guess most of the time. |
| 23:08.51 | whitey | are they possible power hungry beasts compared to say a socket low pwr card? |
| 23:09.06 | whitey | cool, thanks for the good info |
| 23:09.15 | SuN | Depends a bit on your Z. |
| 23:09.33 | SuN | A non-low power card can drain your SL5500 within 30 minutes. |
| 23:10.01 | SuN | My SL-C860 lasts for about 4 hours compared to 7 when using my non-low power card. |
| 23:10.24 | SuN | I haven't played with turning it back to ,say, 1MBps though. |
