| 19:15.31 | landley | Hi prpplague. Elsewindow all day, crazy at work. |
| 19:15.42 | prpplague | landley: understood |
| 19:16.31 | landley | This morning I got a firm offer from TI for what might be a 1 year contract. |
| 19:16.56 | landley | Considering polycom blanket terminated all its contractors at the end of this month and they dunno if they can hire me full time yet, I'll probably take it. |
| 19:16.59 | landley | Commute's a bit better, too. |
| 19:17.12 | landley | prpplague: anything you can say about working at TI? |
| 19:18.01 | prpplague | landley: the work is solid, and they are trying real hard to do things the "open source" way |
| 19:18.07 | landley | Woot. |
| 19:18.16 | landley | Sounds like fun. |
| 19:18.24 | prpplague | landley: just need to make sure you have all your paper work together for whoever you are going through for the contract |
| 19:18.36 | landley | Might be time to bite the bullet and upgrade gcc/binutils in aboriginal. |
| 19:18.48 | landley | It's the same place I'm going through for this contract at polycom. |
| 19:19.05 | landley | I didn't bother looking around for a new job yet, but my contracting company knew about the end of this contract, and found me a new one. Can't complain. :) |

| 19:48.13 | landley | prpplague presumably? The work location's here in Austin but there's some travel involved. |
| 19:48.17 | landley | At least it's not to Moscow... |
| 19:48.45 | prpplague | landley: hehe |
| 19:48.56 | prpplague | landley: any idea what division? |

| 20:00.54 | MonMotha | so...apparently people still use IE7 |
| 20:03.54 | prpplague | MonMotha: crazy IT admins and some software developers still insist on IE |
| 20:04.08 | MonMotha | prpplague: it's not so much that it's IE, it's that it's IE *7* |
| 20:04.30 | prpplague | MonMotha: the contract management company i go through has all of their online records IE only |
| 20:04.38 | MonMotha | IE6 I can at least understand still being in use. There were a lot of "web applications" made in the early 2000s that were actually "IE6 applications" |
| 20:04.54 | MonMotha | but IE7 has a generally clear upgrade path in IE8 |
| 20:05.08 | MonMotha | and IE8 is far less broken than IE7 |
| 20:05.26 | MonMotha | not to mention IE7 only shipped on Vista, which was generally ignored by corporates |
| 20:25.00 | prpplague | orbarron: looks like landley is coming to work for TI |
| 20:26.33 | landley | prpplague: "Embedded Linux SW Consultant". From the phone interview, the people who make the touchscreens. |
| 20:26.40 | landley | Off of Bee Caves in Austin. |
| 20:27.45 | prpplague | hmm, sounds like that might be one of the apps teams |
| 20:28.11 | wmat | landley: avoid the HR lady with the nanoprobes |
| 20:28.51 | landley | prpplague: http://shoze.blogspot.com/2011/06/brorwser-wars.html |
| 20:29.30 | prpplague | hehe |
| 20:57.22 | MonMotha | landley: that's funny |
| 20:58.10 | MonMotha | the last site I made, I'm like "All features, including all the visual glitz, works in Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. Most visual glitz works in Safari. IE8-9 is fully supported but missing visual features. IE7 doesn't work." What do people use? Apparently IE7... |
| 22:13.42 | prpplague | hmm, i have three different drivers for my 7 segment display on the beagle board, any feedback on a good place to put this driver? |
| 22:14.21 | prpplague | maybe just a straight forward char device |
| 22:15.04 | ohsix | the LED class can handle those can't they? |
| 22:15.09 | CosmicPenguin | you need a device for it even? Can't you just drive it from userspace with GPIOs? |
| 22:17.07 | prpplague | ohsix: i didn't see any references for using a 7 segment with the LED class |
| 22:17.16 | MonMotha | it might be handy to be able to just echo N > /dev/led7 |
| 22:17.26 | prpplague | MonMotha: yea thats where i was headed |
| 22:17.42 | prpplague | MonMotha: or more like a generic sysfs entry |
| 22:18.16 | prpplague | ohsix: i guess i could register it as a LED and have the brightness value tied to the display value |
| 22:18.30 | prpplague | i.e. echo 9 > brightness |
| 22:18.38 | prpplague | would display 9 on the 7 segment |
| 22:19.27 | ohsix | shrug, o ne for each element; but the only thing to gain is the familiar interface and the ability to set triggers elsewhere; if you don't need those then its probably not worth the trouble |
| 22:20.15 | prpplague | ohsix: yea that really doesn't give you some good use cases |
| 22:21.52 | prpplague | hmm there is a usb 7 segment display |
| 22:21.58 | prpplague | guess i'll just copy that |
| 22:22.16 | ohsix | then again you could extend the LED class and send it upstream |
| 22:22.26 | *** join/#edev JoeLlama (~snork@unaffiliated/joellama) |
| 22:22.42 | ohsix | but i think it's just for the triggers / patterns |
| 22:23.26 | prpplague | ohsix: yea, i'll have to think about this some |
| 22:23.52 | prpplague | was hope'n someone had a quick answer, hehe |
