| 00:17.08 | joe_bleau | I was browsing my magazine pile, and I see that Software Development magazine is stopped publication. |
| 00:17.46 | prpplague | joe_bleau: thats because all the people who do software dev are in indian now, hehe |
| 00:17.50 | joe_bleau | What a shame. |
| 00:18.34 | joe_bleau | I think it's because it's been trending more toward the management end. |
| 00:19.00 | joe_bleau | It's not as fun as CCI or DDJ, but I'll miss it. (Especially since it was free!) |

| 22:32.52 | joe_bleau | Well, I just finished my (big) sunday afternoon project. |
| 22:33.32 | prpplague | beef, beer and boobs? |
| 22:34.01 | joe_bleau | Nothing that exciting. Fixed the ipod/car interface. One of the wires came off my little relay. Easy fix, |
| 22:34.12 | joe_bleau | but I'll love having tunes in the car again. |
| 22:36.05 | prpplague | joe_bleau: ahh cook |
| 22:36.06 | prpplague | cool |
| 22:36.28 | prpplague | i'm not too big of an audiophile |
| 22:36.37 | prpplague | i like music |
| 22:36.37 | prpplague | just not all the time |
| 22:36.50 | joe_bleau | I used to be interested, but I've kind of moved on. |
| 22:37.00 | joe_bleau | I still have my tube amps, of course. |
| 22:39.01 | prpplague | hehe |
| 22:39.24 | prpplague | i'm thinking of making some sorta of small wireless net device out of some parts i have |
| 22:39.35 | prpplague | like a small laptop |
| 22:39.47 | prpplague | something like the zipit just bigger |
| 22:53.10 | joe_bleau | They ran those maxspeed 5200 thin clients again, but $40 for the 802.11 capable units. |
| 22:53.19 | prpplague | hehe nice |
| 22:54.08 | joe_bleau | Seems like the downside to most of the cheap toys (JB, Zipit, Pixter MM) is that the LCDs suck. |
| 22:54.29 | joe_bleau | Need to find something with a nice TFT. I guess that's never going to be cheap, however. |
| 22:55.14 | prpplague | hehe well, i've never really had that as a problem |
| 22:55.33 | prpplague | any type of lcd is good for me |
| 22:55.44 | prpplague | as long as it doesn't suck a bunch of juice |
| 22:56.10 | joe_bleau | Even a cheap palm has a better LCD than the JB, and a nice palm has a *stunning* display. |
| 22:56.38 | prpplague | really? |
| 22:56.52 | prpplague | hmm |

| 22:57.01 | joe_bleau | Yeah. Never seen one of the Zire 72, Tungsten series, something like that? |
| 22:57.02 | prpplague | i guess i'm still in a different world |
| 22:57.29 | prpplague | 90% of my lcd experience has been with grayscale |
| 22:57.41 | joe_bleau | Yeah, the third world, but I wasn't going to bring that up... ;-) |
| 22:57.48 | prpplague | and about 98% of my experience is with less than 320x240 |
| 22:58.06 | joe_bleau | All of my designs have been character mode LCDs! |
| 22:58.10 | prpplague | joe_bleau: hehe, you consider industrial stuff third world? |
| 22:58.45 | joe_bleau | Not really. I consider your current *location* borderline third world. |
| 22:58.53 | joe_bleau | Just pickin' at you, that's all. |
| 22:59.11 | prpplague | joe_bleau: oh oh, gotcha |
| 22:59.15 | joe_bleau | We used to use segmented VFD, but the power consumption is horrid. |
| 22:59.27 | joe_bleau | Good visibility, but kinda fragile. |
| 22:59.36 | prpplague | yea i like the look of vfd but the power is aweful |
| 22:59.53 | prpplague | we had a rep bring around some new oled stuff |
| 22:59.54 | joe_bleau | Can be expensive, too. |
| 23:00.02 | joe_bleau | Oh yeah! |
| 23:00.07 | prpplague | really nice looking, but the power is still kinda high |
| 23:00.11 | joe_bleau | OLED is *very* exciting. |
| 23:00.25 | prpplague | it was very bright and clear |
| 23:00.33 | joe_bleau | I had a char mode display sample that was pretty spiffy. |
| 23:00.47 | joe_bleau | Too small for us, but the contrast and brightness were very good. |
| 23:02.39 | prpplague | eh gads i had so much work to do this weekend |
| 23:02.46 | prpplague | and i onlt got about 20% of it done |
| 23:02.59 | prpplague | and the 20% i got done is butt ugly |
