02:18.20Landonanyone know where I'd start looking for figuring out how to use a 7seg display or keypad...
02:18.33LandonI really want to play with them , but the labs involving them in microcontroollers arent until later in the semester
02:18.33Landon>.<
02:18.49Landonand of course, the instructor hasn't given out any information yet about them
02:19.04Landon(fwiw, google just gives lots of part vendors :P)
02:22.34Ori_BLandon: you ground a pin, and it lights a segment.
02:22.38Ori_Bthat's more or less it
02:22.45Landonright but its completely unmarked
02:23.16Landonwell, with regards to pins
02:24.46Ori_Bhm? bottom-left is 0, top-right is.. 10, IIRC
02:24.52Ori_Bthe pinouts are all online though
02:25.13Landonoh
02:25.15Ori_Bhttp://www.thelearningpit.com/lp/doc/7seg/7seg.html
02:25.40LandonI guess I should have mentioned a little more about it
02:26.00Landonits an 8 or so digit display
02:26.02Ori_Beither way, google for the part's datasheet :)
02:26.09Ori_Bah. got a part number?
02:26.13Landonwith 2 chips already on it
02:26.37LandonLM071L is on theboard
02:26.50Landonand two chips: HD44100FS and HD44780A00
02:31.00Landonah
02:31.04Landonlooks like I'm getting closer now
02:31.11Landondidnt realize the chips were different before
02:34.50LandonI wish I knew about microcontrollers when I was a kid :(

13:02.25Aksanybody here who can tell me how do i participate in gsoc 2009
13:02.30Aks???????????
13:02.40MatthewWilkesNope
13:03.06MatthewWilkesBut a good start would be to find an open source project you're interested in and start contributing
13:03.16ajuonline!faq
13:03.17socinfo"faq" is http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html
13:03.18MatthewWilkesthat way, when GSOC 2009 signups happen you'll have a head start
13:03.21ajuonlineAks: ^
13:03.49smtmsAks, have you ever contributed to an open source project?
13:03.57ajuonlinehi smtms , MatthewWilkes :)
13:04.02AksI m completely new to this concept
13:04.06MatthewWilkesajuonline!
13:04.16Aksthats why i want to have a clear idea of this
13:05.00AksWhat all do we need to know ???
13:05.08Aksi know this is a stupid question
13:05.12Aksbut still
13:05.24ajuonlineMatthewWilkes: how are you doing ?
13:05.24smtmsAks, if you don't know what open source is and how you can get involved, then learn that first
13:05.41Aksi ofcourse know wht is opensource
13:05.48Aksn
13:05.50Aksrms
13:05.53ajuonlinea good start would be to google on "what is open source" or "foss" or reading producingoss.org/com ?
13:06.07Akshow arey i know that
13:06.10Aksoops
13:06.13Aksi know that
13:06.32Aksi dont know how do i participate n where?
13:06.45ajuonlineAks: search for "how to contribute to foss"
13:07.02ajuonlineusually, reading up the projects website. reading up on the forums/mailing lists
13:07.21ajuonlinefirst step would be to find a oss project that interests you
13:07.33Aksi m good at c++
13:07.46ajuonline!orgbylang
13:07.47socinfo"orgbylang" is http://eflow.org/wiki/index.php?Mentors_by_language
13:08.14MatthewWilkesajuonline: I'm ok, thanks, how're you?
13:08.41ajuonlinemight give you an indication of what projects use C++, but i'd say, you should be willing to learn and contribute :P no matter what
13:08.54ajuonlineMatthewWilkes: me is great! thanks :)
13:09.23ajuonlinedid anyone read about an article that says Ubuntu is faster than Window 7 ?
13:10.50Aksreally ?
13:10.59Aksthats a shame for w7 then
13:11.01Akslolzzz
13:11.26MatthewWilkesajuonline: Did you see the video about kde4 and windows 7?
13:11.43ajuonlineMatthewWilkes: not the video. but read about it yeah :P
13:16.50ajuonlineAks: if I were you, I would first search for an open source which interests me.
13:17.08Aksi m looking in the boost
13:17.15Aksi m a bit good in c++
13:18.10ajuonlineso you can pick up other oop languages?
13:18.47*** join/#gsoc TobiasFar (n=tfar@78.52.114.87)
13:18.48ajuonlinei'd prefer an interesting project, then the language :D
13:18.51sid0ajuonline: if a pro-Linux article gets denounced at slashdot, you know it's crap :)
13:19.18ajuonlinelol
13:20.41Aks@ aju.. Even boost is a project
13:20.53Akshave u participated in any?
13:21.21ajuonlineAks: yes, www.sahana.lk
13:21.39ajuonlineAks: that is an interesting project as well ;)
13:23.38Akswell i m in my first year of engi so i cant dare doing much
13:23.58Aksfunny it is but i really want to participate in this
13:24.11ajuonlineAks: if this motivates you, last year we had a 13 year old mentor.
13:24.17*** join/#gsoc Pietr (n=Pietr@ip-83-134-76-121.dsl.scarlet.be)
13:24.36Aksn how old are u ?
13:25.03ajuonlineAks: more than 18 years of age. because if you are not, you cant participate in GSoC as a student.
13:25.29Aksthen how can a 13 year old be a mentor ???

22:53.11Landon:P
22:53.28LandonI have a temp monitor on my laptop, today its been 70C +
22:53.37ajuonlineput water on it
22:53.39LandonI smashed down on my keyboard for a few seconds and it dropped straight to 65C
22:53.52LandonI'm guessing the contacts to the heatsink below the keyboard are bad
22:53.58Landonso I ned to replace them with something
22:54.12Landon(it's some sort of pad ontop of the cpu then the heatsink, not straight paste -> heatsink)
22:54.17ajuonlineLandon: try ice cubes.

22:55.48Landonbut I cant think of anything else to fill up the mm or so of space
22:56.38[m_harrison]Super glue
22:56.52LandonI dont think that transfers heat very well
22:57.00Landonmight just be me though
22:57.34[m_harrison]It is
22:58.15mdc_mobilethermally conductive
22:58.22mdc_mobilehmm, aluminum foil?
22:58.49Landonwell, if I fold that up theres the chance of air pockets and such
22:58.58Landonhm

23:01.23LandonI'm sure someone around here has extra paste as well
