| 00:17.42 | ChipX86 | steph: er. Phone sucks. |
| 00:17.43 | darth_mall | lurgyman: do you know if your roommates are planning on staying in the fall? |
| 00:17.55 | lurgyman | yes, they are |
| 00:17.59 | darth_mall | damn, ok |
| 00:18.09 | steph | :/ |

| 00:18.22 | ChipX86 | heh |
| 00:18.31 | lurgyman | hmm? |
| 00:18.43 | ChipX86 | my mom called. I said I had you on the other line, and she said she has never been able to get her phone (same model as mine) to switch back after hanging up |
| 00:19.13 | ChipX86 | it could be because of the rain though. Sometimes the drops refract the radio waves from the phone |
| 00:19.37 | lurgyman | ~fishslap ChipX86 |
| 00:19.39 | | ACTION slaps ChipX86 up side the head with a wet fish. |
| 00:19.45 | lurgyman | not unless it's at 950MHz |
| 00:19.49 | lurgyman | :) |
| 00:20.15 | ChipX86 | my CPU is 1GHz, so it could be that the frequencies were mixing |
| 00:20.20 | ChipX86 | and then being refracted |
| 00:20.24 | lurgyman | heh, right |
| 00:20.39 | scanline | refracted off of weatherballoons filled with sunspots from venus |
| 00:20.40 | lurgyman | cuz mixed frequencies just average out ^^ |
| 00:20.45 | ChipX86 | scanline: exactly |
| 00:20.48 | ChipX86 | lurgyman: yep |
| 00:20.56 | lurgyman | ooooh, scanline made it all clear |

| 00:23.10 | lurgyman | captain_proton: yep, absorbed. not refracted :) |
| 00:23.25 | captain_proton | true |
| 00:23.29 | lurgyman | 947MHz is the frequency they use for water-detecting radar |
| 00:23.47 | lurgyman | at least, vertical profiling radars |
| 00:24.16 | captain_proton | heh |
| 00:24.46 | lurgyman | er |
| 00:24.52 | lurgyman | s/947/917/ |
| 00:25.02 | lurgyman | air refracts at ~45-50MHz |
| 00:25.27 | ChipX86 | I have a number of things to contribute when I can spare some bandwidth |
| 00:26.30 | lurgyman | yay |
| 00:26.38 | ChipX86 | oh yeah, new Dream Theater is up. A Change of Seasons |
| 00:27.44 | lurgyman | oo |
| 00:30.29 | scanline | so if I'm doing this math right, there's a probability of about 3e-87 that this 41-byte passphrase will apppear if the satellite is fed random data at 9600 baud for 1 year |
| 00:30.41 | scanline | I think that's good enough |
| 00:31.08 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 00:31.21 | lurgyman | it's like homework, with encryption stuff on top of it |
| 00:31.40 | scanline | well, this FSM generator is really inefficient with code space, so it limits the length I can make these passphrases |
| 00:31.57 | lurgyman | :) |
| 00:32.01 | scanline | but I managed to make a 41-byte passphrase fit after some optimization, and I guess that's enough |
| 00:32.21 | scanline | kind of sick that it takes up almost all of my 1 kiloword ROM |
| 00:32.39 | lurgyman | heh |
| 00:33.25 | file | oh so close to 42... |
| 00:33.41 | scanline | well, a 42-byte passphrase would probably fit too |
| 00:33.57 | scanline | the code space usage is only a little higher than linear on the number of passphrase bytes |
| 00:34.00 | file | 42! the answer to the question of the universe! |
| 00:34.17 | scanline | so find me some Pink Floyd lyrics that are exactly 42 characters long :P |
| 00:34.28 | file | darn |
| 00:34.38 | scanline | ooh, I should just put a comma in |

| 00:36.57 | scanline | now I just need to write another soft UART, some timing goop, and a test suite... |
| 00:37.08 | lurgyman | woof, UART |
| 00:37.22 | lurgyman | oh wait |
| 00:37.24 | scanline | heh |
| 00:37.25 | lurgyman | we finished it |
| 00:37.26 | lurgyman | never mind |
| 00:37.58 | scanline | I already wrote two UARTs for the other chip, but this one doesn't have to be event driven, and needs to be somewhat robust |
| 00:46.09 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 00:49.10 | lurgyman | "Dear Dan, It seems that you turned in your aural-skills homework to me this morning. Please put your written homework in my box in the office, and stop by my office (N127) to pick up your other homework. -Yonatan Malin" |

| 00:49.47 | captain_proton | smooth |
| 00:51.53 | darth_mall | lurgyman: uhoh, are you in trouble? |
| 00:52.28 | lurgyman | heh, probably not |
| 00:52.49 | lurgyman | yonatan is fairly reasonable, even if he is the most boring person ever to inhabit the earth |
| 00:53.36 | darth_mall | heheh |
| 00:54.01 | ChipX86 | oh yeah! We have pizza |
| 00:54.20 | scanline | urgh, this HTML file is way too big for galeon and my ibook's RAM |
| 00:56.59 | captain_proton | the progressive rendering of the bifurc diagrams is so neat to watch |
| 00:58.09 | captain_proton | not unlikely |
| 00:59.15 | scanline | could probably fix that by storing a separate iteration counter for each column, or even just ditching the heap and going back to uniformly picking an X coordinate at random |
| 00:59.36 | darth_mall | too bad lurgyman isn't made of peanut sauce |
| 00:59.54 | captain_proton | ooh, this one is neat |
| 01:00.11 | captain_proton | scanline: well, the priority queue is good |
| 01:00.50 | scanline | well, it breaks some assumptions the histogram renderer makes |
| 01:01.30 | scanline | I could fix that, but I'm not sure it could be done in a generic enough way to still be able to refactor out the histogram code.. without making it a lot slower at least |

| 01:02.12 | darth_mall | otherwise I would |
| 01:02.21 | darth_mall | maybe tonight after I get back and after we do RoD |
| 01:02.29 | captain_proton | though i think i'm only going to do an hour or so, we'll see |
| 01:02.31 | scanline | captain_proton: purdy |
| 01:02.34 | lurgyman | ok then |
| 01:02.35 | lurgyman | well |
| 01:03.15 | scanline | captain_proton: that stuff in the middle where it jumps between fixed points at the top and bottom is rather neat :) |
| 01:03.29 | scanline | er, not even fixed points I guess |
| 01:03.34 | scanline | just jumps between chaotic bits |
| 01:03.46 | scanline | that could be a part where it's chaotic, but differently depending on the initial conditions |
| 01:04.39 | darth_mall | scanline: david says the initial conditions don't matter |
| 01:05.03 | scanline | I've seen cases where they do |
| 01:06.09 | darth_mall | scanline: he says you need to show him these cases when you both get back |
| 01:06.12 | darth_mall | because they shouldn't exist |
| 01:06.18 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:06.20 | scanline | ok |
| 01:08.47 | scanline | hrm |
| 01:09.07 | scanline | to properly scale the bifurcation diagrams if they're rendered unevenly, I'd need a separate color table for each column |
| 01:09.38 | scanline | or, just one color table that's the largest I'd need for any column, then a multiplication per pixel to scale it to that table |
| 01:10.00 | scanline | doable, but I'd probably need to just have a completely separate histogram renderer for bifurcation diagrams |

| 01:34.49 | scanline | save significant amounts of bandwidth by letting the server compute the |

| 01:59.30 | scanline | hi zak |
| 01:59.48 | zak | oo yea! |
| 02:00.02 | zak | scanline: i am replacing a power supply |
| 02:00.29 | zak | and because i haven't done this before and there aren't directions, i left the old one attached and have been replacing the pins as i go |
| 02:00.37 | zak | i just removed a P8 |
| 02:00.45 | zak | but the new one doesn't seem to have one |
| 02:00.50 | zak | suggestions? |
| 02:01.02 | scanline | if it's an ATX supply (like I'm sure all you've seen are) so all plugs that should go together fit together |
| 02:01.10 | scanline | what shape is it? |
| 02:01.37 | scanline | s/so / |
| 02:01.48 | scanline | er, s#s/so /#s/so //# |
| 02:02.11 | zak | the old pin is one of the smaller variety |
| 02:02.23 | zak | that doesn't attach to the the motherboard |
| 02:02.30 | scanline | zak: what shape is this connector you're talking about? what's the dimensions on the pin grid? |
| 02:02.48 | zak | there are 4 actual pins |
| 02:03.03 | zak | but there are 4 on the bigger ones as well |
| 02:03.04 | scanline | the really big connector is the only one the motherboard needs, some have the smaller 2x2 4-pin connectors for extra 12v power, but that's optional |
| 02:03.15 | scanline | oh, this is a floppy power cable? |
| 02:03.19 | zak | this one has that, but i already attached this |
| 02:03.24 | zak | yes |
| 02:03.30 | scanline | is this 2x2 pins or 4x1 pins? |
| 02:03.48 | scanline | all the 4x1 pin plugs are for floppies and hard disks |
| 02:03.56 | zak | i have another one labled P7 that is identical but for the labling and possible things i cannot see |
| 02:04.00 | zak | 4x1 |
| 02:04.02 | scanline | so your problem is that you have an extra one on the power supply and nowhere to plug it? |
| 02:04.14 | zak | no, i know that there will be extra |
| 02:04.21 | zak | are the numbers specific to the port? |
| 02:04.27 | scanline | no |
| 02:04.32 | zak | or do just specific types go certain places |
| 02:04.33 | scanline | all that matters is the plug shape |
| 02:04.39 | scanline | if the plug fits, it's fine |
| 02:04.48 | zak | so as long as it looks the same, then i am ok? |
| 02:04.50 | zak | alright cool |
| 02:05.45 | zak | will you be around later if i get stuck again? |
| 02:06.09 | scanline | probably |
| 02:06.18 | zak | ok, cool. many thanks :) |
| 02:06.22 | scanline | right now I'm at work.. will probably come home within an hour or so |
| 02:07.07 | zak | well if you feel like stopping by the itll, i am in the basement lab plaza, BLP, in the mez shack on the back wall |
| 02:07.13 | lurgyman | yay, it's zak! |
