16:53.36mzbgday
16:54.49phizzsup mzb
16:54.50phizzltns
16:55.04mzbcan't sleep
16:55.23mzbpretending to spend $ I don't have, instead
16:55.28phizzlol
16:55.43phizzknow where i can acquire a droid x for cheap?
16:55.54mzbnope
16:56.15mzbwouldn't mind one myself
16:56.24phizzdid you code the usb support
16:56.34phizzfor the boot loader
16:56.36mzbalthough I must say my old e51 has just earned itself a new lease of life
16:56.40mzbno
16:56.53mzbonly thing I wrote was ramdiskrescue
16:57.17phizzwhats up with the e51?
16:57.21mzband I'm not sure the usb support was ever completed
16:57.49mzbhehe, e51 => free calls to home with a 2hr time limit per call (now got that automatic on my pbx)
16:58.09phizzasterix?
16:58.19mzbyep
16:58.28phizzeverybody loves that software these days :p
16:58.45phizzi had a dream i won a free ipod touch last night
16:58.50mzbso I hotkey/speed-dial to home and I get a DISA
16:58.58phizzand i put voip software on it and used it with asterix lol
16:59.03mzbthen dialout via cheapest (or free) router
16:59.23mzbyeah ... quality of voip software doesn't seem to be up there yet
16:59.36mzb+ you're using more power for a data connection
16:59.44mzbso I figure this works well
16:59.49phizzyeahh
17:00.03mzbI spend 1-5 hrs a day on conf calls based in Denver
17:00.30mzbcombine that with bluetooth headset :)
17:04.20mzbI think I *may* have just found a Twin Desktop Charger for an e51 (charges a spare battery too)
17:04.46mzb8.88 delivered ... yeah ... we'll see if that sticks throughout the checkout ;)
17:04.51phizzhehe
17:05.32_raven_i am looking for any way to get linux on my ipaq 6500
17:06.03phizzdevelopment has stalled here i believe
17:06.13mzbrats ... US/canada only
17:06.15phizzhave you looked through the handhelds.org site to see if its compatible?
17:06.18_raven_need help please
17:08.21mzbiirc, france had a few models in that range ...
17:08.26mzb!seen france
17:08.36mzb~seen france
17:08.38ibotfrance <n=france@38.99.207.90> was last seen on IRC in channel #handhelds, 446d 22h 32m 49s ago, saying: 'right now I do not have time to mess with them, I have too many other projects'.
17:09.13phizzlol
17:09.21phizznice quote to leave on..
17:09.51_raven_does not look good i think
17:10.04mzbnope
17:10.11mzbunless you got skillz ;)
17:10.49mzb(sometimes replaceable with parts of brainz)
17:12.18_raven_so i have no chance to have linux on my 6500?
17:12.47mzbhow many different ways do you want to ask the same question?
17:13.15phizz_raven_: its possible but not an easy task
17:13.22phizzyou'll have to learn a lot on your own to do it
17:13.29_raven_ok how?
17:13.32phizzbecause its no longer being developed. not here anyway
17:13.50mzbif you've got a bit of initiative I'm sure you'd find a way to get hold of the former developers (google)
17:13.50phizzmaybe search for angstrom distribution on google
17:14.00phizzi think its still being developed
17:14.19mzbI didn't see any ipaq 6500 support there
17:14.48mzbthen, after tracking them down, asking them for the source, and learning how it works ... you'd have to learn how to write code for a new handheld (pretty much)
17:15.37phizz_raven_: are you experienced with linux in general?
17:15.44phizzotherwise you've got a long road ahead of you
17:15.45mzbspend a few months in google-land
17:16.09phizzknowing c/c++/asm would go a long way as well
17:16.09_raven_phizz, yes i am
17:22.52mzbhmm au$50 for 2x desktop stands ... I won't get away with that :|
