13:29.34sorphinprpplague: and there's the leader of the ARMy
13:30.47prpplaguehehe
13:31.40sorphinprpplague: on avg takes bout a month here, or did way back when i got mine years ago
13:31.57prpplaguesorphin: the line has been installed since april 6th
13:32.09prpplaguesorphin: they just have a giant bureaucracy that takes forever
13:33.06sorphinno line to install here, just had to make a change in the remote dslam
13:33.24prpplaguesorphin: most of the caribean businesses/government have a problem where people excersize what little power they are given, just for the hell of it
13:33.32prpplaguesorphin: thats what i meant
13:35.29prpplaguesorphin: sometimes when the power blinks here, the dslam gets stuck in a loopback test
13:35.30prpplaguesorphin: so the line comes up, i get management packets but i can't do anything with it
13:36.07prpplaguesorphin: i call and say "yes, some needs to go reset the dslam at the corner of lower estates and abcs highway, its stuck in a loop back" and the person on the phones , "ok sir, did you reset your modem? are all the lights on?"
13:36.07prpplaguesorphin: at which point i pick up the asprin bottle

13:36.35prpplagueGPSFan: ping
13:37.54sorphinprpplague: that's why i always ask for tier 2 directly ;)
13:38.43prpplaguesorphin: yea, they don't allow customers to speak directly to anything above tier 1
13:38.54prpplaguesorphin: anything above and they have to call you back :(
13:39.17GPSFanprpplague: howdy..
13:39.27prpplaguesorphin: is that pretty common for a dslam to get locked into a loopback?
13:39.31prpplagueGPSFan: hey question
13:39.39prpplagueGPSFan: you done any irc on the zipit?
13:40.22sorphinprpplague: ah.. sucks for you then ;)... and no, it's not, but then, most dslams dont' have the power issues you seem to have on the island... i've rarely lost my dsl because of the dslam.. usually, on the rare occasions, it's been routing
13:40.24GPSFanprpplague: yes, I got weechat working on it, worked ok, some issues with "locale support" but not too bad.
13:41.53jbevrenyawn
13:42.07prpplagueGPSFan: ahh cool, i was wondering what app you were using
13:42.12sorphinjbevren: hey slacker
13:42.16prpplagueGPSFan: i have a "bizare" project in the works
13:42.26prpplagueGPSFan: wanted an irc client that would work on a small lcd
13:42.36prpplagueGPSFan: easily readable?
13:44.11GPSFanprpplague: yes, long nicks are an issue, but it does work. some of the yahoo folks actually use it. I haven't kept up the port though. weechat is being actively developed, and I only did the one version.
13:45.14GPSFanprpplague: I did it as a demonstration that an opensource equivalent of each "closed" zipit function could be had.
13:46.01GPSFanbbl..
13:46.31prpplagueGPSFan: ahh cool, thanks

16:12.08prpplagueGPSFan: what size font do you use with the irc client?
16:38.54*** join/#edev redblue (i=star@ppp231.109-253-207.mtl.mt.videotron.ca)
16:39.35GPSFanprpplague: I think it was just the standard 8x8, weechat uses ncurses.
16:40.55jbevrenthe c64 soft-80 routines use a 3x7 (4x8 grid) font
16:42.25prpplagueGPSFan: ahh, and it was pretty readable?
16:42.51prpplagueGPSFan: thats just 40 chars across
16:47.54GPSFanprpplague: correct, and thus my comment about long nicks..
16:48.40GPSFanI'm sure that a smaller font would have yielded more chars across.
16:53.19prpplagueGPSFan: yea i'd go with a 5x7 or 4x6
16:56.07GPSFanprpplague: I hadn't a clue how to change the font, and never got around to looking into it any deeper. "It was left as an excercise for the student" ...
16:56.30prpplagueGPSFan: hehe
16:56.36prpplagueGPSFan: which kernel are you running?
16:57.24GPSFan2.4.21
16:57.45GPSFanon the zipit that is..
17:01.02prpplagueGPSFan: yea to support other font sizes on the console you would need to hack up fbcon-cfb4.c
17:01.18prpplagueGPSFan: i had to do that for our 160x160 16level gray lcd
17:01.30prpplagueGPSFan: i could probably make a patch for you
17:04.04GPSFanprpplague: thanks, but I don't need it. Others on the Yahoo forum might be interested. There have only been 3-4 people who have actually recompiled the kernel and no other kernel patches have been added.
17:07.31prpplagueGPSFan: ahh
17:07.35prpplagueGPSFan: oh well
17:07.42prpplagueGPSFan: if someone asks you know where to find me
17:10.07GPSFanprpplague: right-o...
17:22.03jbevrenfinally
17:22.09jbevrenI can load a kernel locally on my laptop :)
17:28.35prpplagueanyone got a membership to alldatasheets.com?
17:36.29jbevrenit requires a membership?
17:36.46jbevrenhttp://alldatasheet.com/ doesnt have it?
17:36.49jbevren(note the lacking S)
17:37.47jbevrengrumble
17:37.53jbevrenmy tg3 chipset isnt recieving packets
17:39.40prpplaguejbevren: yea iirc allldatasheet.com requires a member ship
17:40.22jbevrenit doesnt in my experience
17:40.55jbevrenhttp://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/139381/FCI/UGPZ15.html works for me (and I dont remember signing up)
17:41.01jbevrenwhich sheet are you after?
17:43.06prpplaguejbevren: odd
17:43.25prpplaguejbevren: looking for a lcd datasheet, but it doesn't look like alldatasheet.com has it
17:46.32prpplaguejbevren: doing some lcd tinkering
17:52.37jbevrenah
18:12.59jbevrenok where's sata in 2.6.16
18:13.06jbevrenI cant find it in block, scsi, or ata
18:23.58sorphinfor what chipset? :P
18:25.55sorphinit's generally under scsi
18:26.00sorphinthere's no seperate SATA section
18:26.09sorphinthe driver makes it a scsi device
18:26.22sorphinleast on the intel crap
18:50.46jbevrenmy question is, wehre is it in the menuconfig
18:50.48jbevrenI found it tho
18:50.52jbevrenafter much googling
