03:53.47kristianpauli'm bit lost, how you add a patch description in git
03:53.59kristianpaulwhen using git send-email or git format-patch ?
03:58.27xiangfukristianpaul, when git commit
03:58.51kristianpaulahh
03:59.15kristianpauli did but is just 1 line short.. as it should be i guess
04:00.26xiangfukristianpaul, you can modify it by 'git command --amend' or when using 'git send-email --annotate'
04:00.35xiangfu'git commit --amend'
04:02.31xiangfukristianpaul, if you don't use '-m' when commit. git will bring you a text edit for patch description.
04:03.24kristianpaulyeah.. but i just wrote a line
04:06.05kristianpauloops
04:06.09kristianpauldouble mail..

11:50.43xiangfu"<Necrosporus> I found out NanoNote get 1.5 times more expensive, why?"
11:53.00Necrosporus149 bucks instead of 99
11:54.10wolfspraulbecause that's a better price for the future and the best price we know how to build a beautiful little machine like that
11:54.26wolfspraulyou bought one at the old price? or were thinking about getting one?

13:43.55Necrosporuswolfspraul, yes, I were, but low hardware specs was somehow adding doubts
13:45.03NecrosporusWere there a 1GiB of RAM and 1 GHz dual core processor, I'd though 150 bucks is fine
13:45.12*** join/#qi-hardware gargon (~gargon@catv-80-99-20-126.catv.broadband.hu)
13:46.17NecrosporusOr better 2 GiB of ram
13:46.59wolfspraulso we helped remove your doubts now, good :-)
13:47.15wolfspraulI don't think you would appreciate the Ben and you will probably find something good elsewhere.
13:47.40wolfspraulthe Ben can't be for everyone...
13:48.39Necrosporuswolfspraul, I'd ready to pay about $50-75 for that capabilities
13:48.46NecrosporusIncluding shipping
13:49.11wolfspraulwon't happen here
13:49.20wolfspraulmaybe the next NanoNote will even be 199, I don't know
13:49.36wolfspraulfirst of all it must be really good, better than the Ben
13:49.49NecrosporusYeah

13:50.05*** join/#qi-hardware DocScrutinizer (~halley@openmoko/engineers/joerg)
13:50.11NecrosporusFor 100 bucks I can buy Ritmix RZX-50 for example
13:51.13NecrosporusIngenic JZ4755 XBurst, 400 МГц, 32-bit
13:51.35Necrosporus64 MiB RAM, 4 GiB built-in storage
13:51.53Necrosporus480×272 screen
13:52.01wolfspraulthe Ben comes with vim preinstalled
13:52.01Necrosporusbetter than 320x240
13:52.10NecrosporusThat's cool
13:52.48NecrosporusBut there's chines laptops for 100 bucks including shipping and it can run Vim as well
13:52.57wolfspraulif that's not enough for you no other argument will win you over and you are better off with those other devices
13:52.57NecrosporusI got one
13:53.24Necrosporuswell, I'd like a ben but for 100 bucks including shipping
13:53.30wolfspraulwon't happen
13:53.53wolfspraulprice will go up, not down
13:54.04wolfspraulwe want to make a *better* Ben in the future
13:54.35NecrosporusWhy? Ben is pretty much outdated and outdated hw is usually cheaper
13:54.40NecrosporusCurrent one I mean
13:54.58wolfspraulfine but Ben is different :-)
13:55.15wolfspraulwith 'outdated' you probably mean comparing some numbers to other devices
13:55.23wolfspraulit was outdated on that perspective since birth
13:55.36wolfspraulbut it's not what the Ben is about
13:55.50wolfspraulI'm not trying to sell you a Ben btw
13:55.55NecrosporusYeah.. it has lover specs than my PDA I bought in 2003
13:55.56wolfspraulplease don't, if you don't totally love it
13:56.02wolfspraulok great
13:56.15Necrosporusbut there is no hw keyboard
13:57.03wolfspraulthe Ben will remain on sale until we have a worthy successor
13:57.09gargonNecrosporus: on amazon.com, you can get a ben for usd 94
13:57.24wolfsprauland at least from me, it will never be discounted :-)
13:57.25wolfspraulguaranteed
13:57.31*** join/#qi-hardware Jay7 (jay@128-73-75-224.broadband.corbina.ru)
13:58.09wolfspraulwe need to advance the milkymist soc stuff a bit more before taking another good shot at a mobile device
13:58.20wolfspraulso for now we have the Ben and I am proud of it :-)
13:58.25wolfspraulbut you don't need be, no worries
13:59.01NecrosporusI think I need a pocket device running GNU/Linux
13:59.23wolfspraulok we will work harder and maybe have a Ben successor that pleases you :-)
13:59.24wolfspraulmaybe
13:59.42NecrosporusThere's Nokia N9
13:59.46NecrosporusI have tried it
14:00.00wolfspraulthose are very powerful devices, amazing stuff
14:00.18wpwrakNecrosporus: you're comparing with devices that are produced in large volume and generally don't have much device-specific open source support. in some cases, they're generic enough that they don't need any specific support. in other cases, they're not, and things will run badly if at all.
14:00.19NecrosporusThere's a video core which doesn't work with free software drivers
14:00.41NecrosporusNokia N9 has linux preinstalled
14:00.41wpwrakNecrosporus: having such things is what drives the ben's value/cost/price up.
14:01.21wpwrakNecrosporus: if we just had Nokia's budget for lighting a bonfire with our money every night ... ;-)
14:03.33NecrosporusNokia N9 however lacks hardware keyboard

15:34.54larscso many letters in the alphabet you both have to use the same one ;)
15:36.05wpwrak<PROTECTED>
15:36.21wpwrakgencat makes this type of catalog: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/kicad-libs-components.pdf
15:37.09wpwrakthe renaming is because i'll extend it to also handle modules (the "ex" was for the "expanded" symbol view, i.e., with pin types)
15:38.29larsclooks nice

20:15.50wpwraklarsc: it seems to be quite popular. though technical documentation seems to be hard to find. maybe the popularity comes from it using the MALI graphics core, which has been reverse-engineered. (unlike the other, more deeply proprietary cores common on smartphones)
20:16.45viricwpwrak: that quadcore from samsung also has a mali
20:17.26wpwrakah, nice ! die powerVR, die ! :)
20:17.40viricpowerVR?

21:30.02rohanybody a idea?
21:30.45wpwrakvias ? burried ?
21:50.01rohwpwrak: nope.. i meant that 'stamp-like' module pcb design
21:50.23rohwhere one has the vertically cut in the middle throughole-vias to solder at
21:58.47wpwrakaah ! now i know what you mean. fat "vias"
21:59.16wpwrakdon't recall the name, though
23:01.41rohi heard 'plated half holes'.. sounds weird
23:08.27rohwpwrak: you heard harald plans to make a calypso board?

23:31.14wpwrak"half-holes" sounds reasonable :)
23:32.18wpwrakhe ought to make a little asic to get rid of the fog of secrecy around that ancient calypso
