| 01:11.00 | RobotGuy | landley: Hi |
| 01:11.51 | landley | Hiya. |
| 01:11.53 | landley | What's up? |
| 01:18.22 | RobotGuy | Just tinkering with Gentoo (Regular and Embedded). |
| 01:21.49 | landley | Cool. |
| 01:22.14 | RobotGuy | It's possible I might actually not need a flash drive. |
| 01:22.22 | RobotGuy | Except for data storage |
| 01:25.06 | landley | You mean you can fit everything you need into the internal flash? |
| 01:32.07 | RobotGuy | landley: I am not sure yet, but it is looking good so far. |
| 01:32.29 | RobotGuy | I am creating a new image now so will know soon. |
| 01:32.50 | landley | Coolness. |
| 01:33.05 | RobotGuy | I am really liking my Nail Board!\ |
| 01:35.21 | solar | wonders how far along landley is with his |
| 01:35.50 | landley | How far along I am with my nail board? |
| 01:35.58 | landley | It's sort of off to one side at the moment. |
| 01:36.15 | landley | It got pushed down on the todo list while I couldn't find it. |
| 01:36.25 | landley | At the moment I'm trying to get the FWL 0.9.0 release ready. |
| 01:36.34 | landley | That's the one that can rebuild itself under itself. Six commands missing. |
| 01:36.49 | landley | I'm biting the bullet and updating to current busybox to see if that fixes any of the five busybox has. |
| 01:37.13 | landley | (There are five of those missing commands that have busybox versions, but they don't work well enough in 1.2.2 to let the build work properly.) |
| 01:37.40 | landley | I'm also integrating the command tracking stuff, so you can get a log of each command line run during each package build. |
| 01:39.23 | landley | Once I've got that back together, I'll try to inflict it upon the nail board again. |
| 01:39.28 | landley | And finish writing up Andrew's docs. :( |
| 01:39.33 | solar | noticed this one today and fixed it. http://lul-disclosure.net/exploits/lul-busybox.c |
| 01:39.34 | landley | Shouldn't be too long... |
| 01:40.25 | solar | not sure how valid it is unless you had a dhcp server send ya %n%n%n as a hostname or so. |
| 01:41.44 | landley | I note that I never touched that applet in the entire time I was banging on busybox. |
| 01:41.56 | RobotGuy | Hmmmm, can't flash my Nail now. |
| 01:42.00 | landley | But you might want to send it to vda.linux@busybox.com |
| 01:42.03 | landley | Or I could do it... |
| 01:42.32 | landley | Ahem, actually looking that up it's googlemail.com |
| 01:42.42 | landley | And busybox was never a .com, it's a .net. Been away too long... |
| 01:43.07 | landley | Forwarded. Thanks. |
| 01:44.27 | RobotGuy | What's the command to create /etc/mtab? |
| 01:46.34 | g1powermac_PB | just bought an ancient oscilloscope :-) |
| 01:47.06 | g1powermac_PB | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120276631246&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123 |
| 01:52.41 | solar | landley: I think you fixed my keys. so I was able to commit the simple fix. |
| 01:53.35 | GPSFan | g1powermac_PB: hope you don't think that that is a real oscilloscope. (a friend of mine's dad used to design all the RCA low cost test equipment. I think he did the WO-33 but am not sure... that was a long time ago) |
| 01:54.52 | g1powermac_PB | GPSFan: really, I only got it for this: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8488 |
| 01:55.19 | g1powermac_PB | I got a real one for actual stuff a long time ago :-) |
| 01:56.28 | GPSFan | g1powermac_PB: it might not be able to do that, IIRC it's AC only. (he designed the Apollo docking radar too, so his low cost test equipment designs tend to be unique...) |
| 01:56.38 | GPSFan | bbl... dinner... |
| 01:56.42 | g1powermac_PB | hmm |
| 01:56.45 | solar | enjoy |
| 01:57.38 | g1powermac_PB | well, then it'll just look pretty as a prop for my video podcast :-) |

| 17:52.10 | sunrunner20 | RobotGuy: putting an archive within an archive, it doesn't make sence |

| 17:54.30 | RobotGuy | sunrunner20: No, that would not make sense. One should just convert the archive to the format they want and do it that way. |
| 17:54.32 | sunrunner20 | a tar has no compression |

| 17:57.51 | RobotGuy | T0mW: No laser |
| 17:57.53 | MothaWork | sunrunner20: the reason for that specific case is that RAR's multivolume support is much better than ZIP |
| 17:57.59 | T0mW | I was considering it |
| 17:58.06 | MothaWork | and they're too lazy to take apart the ZIP and re-create it as a RAR |
| 17:58.07 | RobotGuy | ds2: I have the flagship package - Expert. |
| 17:58.17 | sunrunner20 | MothaWork: your not underderstanding... |
| 17:58.21 | chouimat|work | is it legal in the us to shoot a coworker who sings britney spears crap? |
| 17:58.24 | sunrunner20 | they are taking the multivolume rar |
| 17:58.29 | sunrunner20 | and making sevetral zips |
| 17:58.39 | MothaWork | oh...yeah, that's dumb |
| 17:58.59 | MothaWork | so it's basically X ZIPs contianing X RAR parts which are all part of a single multi-part RAR? |
| 17:59.05 | sunrunner20 | yes |
| 17:59.10 | MothaWork | X ZIPs each containing 1 of X RAR parts, that is |
| 17:59.13 | MothaWork | yeah, that's dumb |
| 18:00.24 | ds2 | RobotGuy: cool. I've tried the free one. Neat but I did not like it insisting it needs to be online for functionality |

| 18:31.14 | RobotGuy | MothaWork: Do you use any web frameworks? |
| 18:36.58 | MothaWork | RobotGuy: not really. I don't do any AJAXy stuff |
| 18:37.04 | MothaWork | I'm not really a web developer at all |
| 18:37.14 | MothaWork | the only framework I have here is a VERY simple templating engine |
| 18:37.29 | RobotGuy | MothaWork: I am adding a web interface to W.A.L.T.E.R. |
| 18:37.30 | MothaWork | 89 lines of code, including comments |
| 18:37.51 | MothaWork | maybe 20 lines of actual stuff |
| 18:40.49 | MothaWork | the only reason I'm making this is because of the functionality |
| 18:41.02 | MothaWork | it's a system for managing BOMs and parts inventory |
| 18:41.15 | MothaWork | also helps with procurement by tracking prices across alternatives |

| 18:44.56 | T0mW | MothaWork: can you answer a question about a low-esr cap circuit I have? |
| 18:46.33 | MothaWork | I can try |
| 18:47.19 | T0mW | MothaWork: I have 2 caps in parallel, rated for max current of 2.74A. the total max draw would be 5A load. Given a low-R trace feed, will the internal ESR of the caps tend to evenly split the current load? |
| 18:47.33 | T0mW | ... between the two of them. |
| 18:47.52 | T0mW | or, should I spend the money and get a single rated cap? |
| 18:48.45 | MothaWork | they are identical caps and will be from the same lot when placed on the boards? |
| 18:48.49 | T0mW | I know that I would have to consider the tolerance of the ESR value, but... |
| 18:49.17 | MothaWork | and they will be in close proximity to each other, I presume? |
| 18:49.21 | T0mW | yes, they could be the same lot number, but will be sole sourced from a single vendor |
| 18:49.36 | T0mW | yes, polygons on the PCB feeding them |
| 18:50.41 | T0mW | I'm not sure about this, I don't usually work at this power level for a supply. |
| 18:50.48 | MothaWork | I'd say you're probably fine |
| 18:51.16 | MothaWork | if you're really concerned, spring for the single rated cap or use a coupled inductor to equalize |
| 18:51.27 | T0mW | I would think so, the typical draw on the supply should be 2A, 5A would be the design max. |
| 18:51.57 | MothaWork | but I don't think you'll have issues unless the caps are actually different (caps from the same lot will be very close) or are subjected to different operating conditions such as temperature |
| 18:52.31 | T0mW | yeah, I see what you mean, 150KHz switch rate, then the Xl to act as a series impedance. |
| 18:53.04 | T0mW | L == cheap-o power resistor |
| 18:53.26 | T0mW | thanks |
| 18:55.05 | MothaWork | np |
| 18:55.16 | ali_as | Coupled inductor? |
| 18:55.25 | MothaWork | two coils magnetically coupled |
| 18:55.51 | MothaWork | if it's a 1:1 ratio, they'll tend to drive each other towards equal current flow if possible |
| 18:56.03 | ali_as | Umm. |
| 18:56.20 | ali_as | I don't see that working for DC. |
| 18:56.26 | MothaWork | it's a SMPS |
| 18:56.29 | T0mW | magnetic fields would be balancing the current flow |
| 18:56.34 | MothaWork | DC is nonexistent |
| 18:56.40 | MothaWork | also, the current draw off of it is sure to be dynamic |
| 18:56.41 | T0mW | the single magnetic field would be balancing the current flow |
| 18:56.48 | MothaWork | also, it will :) |
| 18:57.04 | T0mW | impedance is magic |
| 18:57.12 | ali_as | I think you are nuts :) |
| 18:57.18 | T0mW | heh |
| 18:57.18 | MothaWork | eventually the voltage across both coils will drop to zero, but if the current through one changes, it'll bump the voltage on the other side |
| 18:57.26 | MothaWork | you set the phasing up so that it provides negative feedback |
| 18:57.42 | ali_as | My advice would be minimum inductance between the caps as I'd be worried about them ringing. |
| 18:57.54 | MothaWork | yes, putting in a coupled coil is not without side effects |
| 18:58.43 | ali_as | The voltage induced is the differential of the other signal. This is the smoothing section, of a switcher, yes? |
| 18:58.46 | MothaWork | you can do this with (low value) power resistors as T0mW mentioned, too, but then you're burning off some power as heat |
| 18:58.50 | T0mW | ali_as: well, there would be that too. you would need a fixed switch-rate on the supply and make sure that the C & L values are not resonant |
| 18:59.06 | T0mW | heh |
| 18:59.13 | MothaWork | however, you're a lot less likely to have "issues" |
| 18:59.32 | T0mW | hmmm, maybe make them sieres resonant? |
| 18:59.33 | T0mW | heh |
| 18:59.50 | MothaWork | they'd already have to be series resonant, though, right? |
| 18:59.51 | ali_as | Problems RG? |
| 18:59.53 | MothaWork | you'd just be changing Q |
| 19:00.01 | T0mW | RobotGuy-SNAFU: do yo have to work at that or does the snafu just come naturally? |
| 19:00.27 | MothaWork | (which could cause problems, again, but there tends to be more fudge on Q) |
| 19:00.35 | MothaWork | mmm....fudge |
| 19:01.00 | T0mW | no, phish-food, ben & jerry's |
| 19:02.18 | T0mW | ali_as: not the filter side, I am concerned about a 20K ufd input section. |
| 19:03.12 | ali_as | Then your average current should be tiny. |
| 19:03.48 | ali_as | High voltage input, yes? |
| 19:03.59 | T0mW | doh, didn't think about that. |
| 19:04.36 | T0mW | yeah, the 20K is a reserve to give the system time to shutdown during a powerfail at the input |
| 19:05.26 | T0mW | I'm over-engineering this thing, just build it and see what probs occur |
| 19:05.32 | ali_as | Sounds like a non issue then :) |
| 19:05.50 | MothaWork | oh, yeah |
| 19:06.01 | MothaWork | nobody really seems to concern themselves with current sharing on the input side when paralleling caps |

| 22:08.24 | g1powermac | any idea on how I can do a wireless setup? |

| 22:12.05 | g1powermac | well, the device is a usb pre-amp |

| 22:38.49 | CosmicPenguin | Whatever you can use to send the raw data across |
| 22:39.04 | g1powermac | yea |
| 22:39.20 | g1powermac | or maybe not even bluetooth, 802.11g would work too |
| 22:39.35 | g1powermac | though I'd need some kind of driver on the computer side |
| 22:41.11 | g1powermac | yea, wifi would work better as its quite a bit faster than bt |
