00:01.44purple_cowno, i demand nudity
00:02.00probe20.o
00:02.21probe2Somebody set up the webcam ^_^
00:02.26ChipX86I demand clothing!
00:02.52probe2hello, ChipX86
00:02.59hardwireshit
00:03.08hardwirethe radio says I a not supposed to go outside today
00:03.11hardwirebecause of the sleet
00:03.11ChipX86hi probe2
00:03.17hardwirethere have already been way too many accidents
00:03.29ChipX86ooh another pretty one in fyre
00:03.50hardwirearen't they all pretty?
00:04.05ChipX86yeah, but I'm starting to get the hang of finding neat patterns
00:04.40hardwireI have a black anodized aluminium handle on my laptop
00:04.43hardwireI am still scared about that
00:06.37ChipX86ooh
00:06.47ChipX86scanline, purple_cow: people want fyre :) where should I tell them to look?
00:07.52hardwireyou have to love a distro like gentoo
00:07.56hardwireipw2200 drivers
00:08.45ChipX86found it
00:09.48hardwirewhats a good way to setup x.org under gentoo?
00:12.45purple_cowemerge xorg-x11 ?
00:13.19hardwireI thought I had installed it ;)
00:13.27hardwireit ran
00:13.35hardwireX works.. except nothing comes up cause it has no config
00:19.57ChipX86purple_cow: what would it take to add an ability to fyre to let you save the progress of a render and transfer it somewhere and resume it?
00:21.50purple_cowhmm
00:22.04purple_cowwe were discussing something like that a bit ago...
00:23.23purple_cowooh, morph-o-zeene
00:24.09hardwireI want silly string
00:25.12CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_routing/ (11 files): General cleanup
00:26.03ChipX86how is it that anime girls don't really look all that strange with blue or green hair, but in real life, they would look quite odd?
00:27.08hardwirebecause they are cartoons.
00:27.11hardwirewith huge bug eyes
00:27.17hardwirethe hair is just icing on the cake.
00:29.04ChipX86fyre also needs to remember where I saved a file last
00:29.13purple_cowyeah, that's in BUGS
00:30.08ChipX86how hard is it to set up a cluster?
00:31.15purple_cowvery easy :)
00:31.20ChipX86good. I need to do that :P
00:32.59ChipX86I think I'll watch FLCL for the 10th time
00:33.36purple_cowyay
00:40.05ChipX86uh oh, can't compile fyre on athena
00:40.38hardwirecan you run two emerges at the same time?
00:40.46hardwirewithout lockblocking something?
00:42.34purple_cowsure
00:43.14hardwirehmm
00:43.26hardwireanybody doing anything cool for s3 suspend under gentoo?
00:49.32ChipX86look at all these prettys
00:52.58hardwirethis is gonna sound silly.. but how do I check what packages/versions are installed on a gentoo machi
00:52.59hardwirenbe
00:53.01hardwireerr
00:53.02hardwirene
01:00.47ChipX86http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:-L35f-8P9lcJ:s3.invisionfree.com/Topika/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D38+flcl+overflow&hl=en
01:00.50ChipX86interesting read
01:03.15hardwirethinking I should gentoo this little laptop as well
01:03.20hardwiretry to get the most out of this crusoe
01:03.26hardwireI wish I could trade this laptop in  ;)
01:16.09*** join/#tacobeam beth_ (beth@c-67-166-53-209.client.comcast.net)
01:46.02ChipX86someone IM'd me apparently with the sole intention of finding out if I develop gaim
01:46.43file[laptop]how interesting
01:47.31ChipX86not really. I wish people didn't do that
01:50.33hardwireqpkg doesn't exist anymore
01:50.38hardwirewherediditgo????
01:51.23ChipX86wow this guy is an idiot
01:51.42hardwiresorry..
01:51.47hardwire;)
01:51.55ChipX86that's you?
01:51.59hardwirenooo
01:52.47ChipX86I hope this is someone messing with me
01:53.39lurgyhardwire: emerge gentoolkit
01:53.43hardwireyeh
01:53.45hardwireI figured it out
01:53.48lurgyyay
01:53.52hardwirehow do I search for xorg and config at the same time
01:53.57hardwireit gives me xorg results
01:54.00hardwirethen config results ;)
01:54.06lurgyhmm
01:55.14ChipX86this has to be
01:56.12hardwireok
01:56.20hardwireso two days go we found moose antlers at the dog park
01:56.22hardwireand brought em home
01:56.29hardwireboth of them fro the same moose.. just recently shed
01:56.31hardwirecrazy stuff
01:56.39hardwireits hard to find two of them in the same area
01:56.46hardwirelike.. such close proximity
01:56.52file[laptop]hardwire: you ramble alot
01:56.58hardwirefile[laptop]: yes
01:56.59hardwireyes I do
01:57.07hardwiremy girlfriend is rambling elsewhere..
01:57.12hardwirefeeding me rambleness
01:57.23hardwirebut you guys know more about my life than anything I know of yours
01:57.33file[laptop]ah ic
01:57.33hardwireI like people to know.. me.. I guess
01:58.12hardwirepuppy just burped on me
01:58.21hardwirewe are gonna get another one soon
01:58.26hardwireto tame out our two year old a little
01:58.51ChipX86http://www.chipx86.com/crazyzap12.html
01:59.16file[laptop]that's disturbing
02:02.27scanlinehah
02:02.56hardwireI wanna turn these antlers into gigantic armrests
02:03.05hardwirehow corny.
02:05.20lurgyhehe
02:05.21lurgy(17:56:11) crazyzap12: ok could u make the tabs a little bigger on the winndows
02:05.22lurgy(17:56:18) ChipX86: no
02:05.32lurgyyay for chip
02:08.06hardwirechippid dippity
02:08.10hardwireI dunno
02:08.12hardwiredamn
02:08.22hardwirefile[laptop]: so we are going to do voip over wifi over starband.
02:08.23hardwireheheheh
02:08.28hardwirejitterus bufferus
02:09.29lurgyheh
02:09.48hardwirestarband is trying to do something actually
02:09.50hardwirecool
02:09.51hardwiredamn enter
02:09.56hardwiredamn pinky
02:10.06hardwirethey wanna give us ptp starband connections
02:10.16hardwirewith the endpoints being both at customer premises
02:10.34hardwireno termination in the lower 48
02:10.35hardwirekinda nice
02:11.53hardwireanybody got any good RF ideas for dog tracking?
02:12.07hardwireI was aout to strap a GPS and a really simple PSK modem on the dog.
02:12.14hardwireand then somehow recieve that on my Z
02:12.16CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_routing/ (10 files): Added unified call progression to both inbound and outbound routing
02:13.35hardwirewith success
02:13.48file[laptop]well I can do it multiple ways... just figuring out the best right now
02:14.39file[laptop]rather nifty really... if our server goes down, phone calls still go through... and when the server comes back up - it's still billed as if nothing happened
02:15.04hardwiresay that again?
02:15.22file[laptop]if any gateway goes down, the phone calls currently travelling through it continue to go on
02:15.37hardwirehow?
02:15.50file[laptop]our gateways only route messages now
02:15.55file[laptop]the RTP streams are direct to the provider
02:18.13hardwireoh ok
02:18.38hardwireso with call progression at the server side.. their provider server realerts you?
02:18.44hardwireto the time duration?
02:18.51file[laptop]nope, we keep call progression in a database
02:19.07hardwireso how do you know when the rtp terminated?
02:19.13hardwireeven if the gateway goes down.
02:19.22file[laptop]when the server comes back up, the SIP message still goes through it
02:19.28hardwirewell
02:19.34hardwireif I a on a call when the server fries
02:19.40hardwireand it takes 2 days to bring it back to life
02:19.41file[laptop]if you hang up before the server comes back up - then it won't be charged
02:19.47hardwiredo I get charged for 2 days?
02:19.51hardwireok
02:20.00hardwireso minimal loss
02:20.07file[laptop]yes
02:20.18hardwiresounds easier to attach a Unique ID to the call.. and then query the call status on the server later
02:20.34hardwirethat way you can still bill after an outage.
02:20.43CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_routing/ (4 files):
02:20.43CIA-7voiceconduits: Outbound routing does not need a balance check, the check is done when the
02:20.43CIA-7voiceconduits: user authenticates. If no balance exists - then authentication fails!
02:20.54file[laptop]you can't query call status
02:20.57*** join/#tacobeam probe[away] (~blackrabi@c-24-9-223-229.client.comcast.net)
02:21.05file[laptop]and each call does have a unique ID, the call id
02:21.12hardwirefile[laptop]: but it would be neat if you could ;)
02:21.15file[laptop]ha
02:21.23file[laptop]internally we can
02:21.27file[laptop]once I finish this code
02:21.33hardwirethe provider doesn't do CDR?
02:21.37hardwireand give it back to you?
02:21.42file[laptop]at the end of the month yes
02:21.49hardwireso you get all those uid' back
02:21.53file[laptop]no
02:21.56file[laptop]you don't.
02:22.00hardwireanthen.. you sohuld fix that ;)
02:22.11file[laptop]it's not something that can be fixed
02:22.16hardwiresure it is
02:22.17file[laptop]it's their gateways and hardware
02:22.23hardwireyou call all your providers and make them listen to you ;)
02:22.31file[laptop]tried that once, didn't work
02:22.34hardwiredamn
02:22.37hardwirestup0id monkeys
02:22.43file[laptop]called Peerone this afternoon, that didn't work either
02:22.44hardwiredamnit
02:22.51file[laptop]trying to get quality bandwidth on short notice sucks
02:23.02hardwireindeed
02:24.36scanlinehmm
02:25.56hardwirelooks like we found a 100 meter cat tracker
02:25.59hardwirewith a hand held finder
02:26.03hardwirethat should work
02:27.13hardwirefinding the dog on occasion
02:27.17file[laptop]uh huh
02:28.02CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_auth/ (call_progress.c call_progress.d call_progress.h authorize.c):
02:28.02CIA-7voiceconduits: We need call progression here too, when a call is approved - start the
02:28.02CIA-7voiceconduits: virtual channel!
02:28.21lurgyscanline: hmm!
02:28.31scanline4.67 inches it seems
02:28.32scanlineshouldn't be bad
02:28.44scanlineand it really doesn't need to be that exact for this to work
02:28.55scanlinelurgy: want a temperature sensor in your apartment?
02:29.03CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_auth/ (authorize.d call_progress.c): We don't need the routing headers for call progression
02:29.03scanlineI should have the parts to build 8 of these total
02:29.21lurgyscanline: sure :)
02:29.30hardwireI should start a bar
02:29.36hardwirecall it "GLPWI"
02:29.42scanlinecool
02:29.45hardwireGood looking people with issues.
02:29.48file[laptop]erm
02:29.52hardwirecall it "GLPSWI"
02:29.56hardwireGood looking single people with issues.
02:30.12hardwirescanline: now what are you building?
02:30.23scanlinehardwire: they're just wireless temperature sensors
02:30.31hardwireah
02:30.35hardwirecan I track a dog with it?
02:30.37hardwire;)
02:30.48scanlineyou can track a dog's temperature with it
02:30.52hardwireactually.. how much is it going to run to get one made for me :)
02:30.56hardwireand my dog
02:30.58hardwireactually
02:31.00hardwiremy friends dog
02:31.11scanlinethey're about $7 in parts
02:31.11hardwirewe want to control a heat lampby the temperature outside in his dog house
02:31.18hardwirebut.. by the temp of the dog works better ;)
02:31.21hardwiresweet
02:31.34scanlinehmm
02:31.40scanlinesignal strength is pretty good with no antenna at all
02:31.45hardwireerr
02:31.48lurgy:)
02:31.49hardwirewhat kind of signal is it
02:31.57scanline315 MHz ASK
02:31.58hardwiretransmitting from an a2d?
02:32.01hardwireso digital
02:32.04hardwirehmm
02:32.05lurgyscanline: these are battery-powered, right?
02:32.08scanlinelurgy: yeah
02:32.14hardwirecan you make one that just happens to read NEMA GPS output?
02:32.17lurgyscanline: so we could find a better place to put one outside? :)
02:32.18scanlinelurgy: 9V battery. they also have a voltage sensor
02:32.18hardwirefrom rs-232 devices ;)
02:32.21lurgycool
02:32.25scanlinelurgy: definitely I'm looking forward to that
02:32.34lurgyyay
02:32.39lurgywe should stick one up in a tree or something
02:32.41scanlinelurgy: white box and everything, maybe mount it on the railing outside or to a tree
02:32.45scanlineyep
02:32.48lurgy:)
02:33.02lurgyhigher is better
02:33.02CIA-7voiceconduits: 03jcolp * 10vc_auth/ (6 files): Bye bye silly compiler warnings
02:33.05scanlineyep
02:33.12scanlinethey fit easily in an altoids box
02:33.19scanlinenot much bigger than the 9V battery holder
02:33.24lurgysweet
02:33.24hardwirescanline: hmm..
02:33.31hardwiredo you have schematics for what you have?
02:33.44scanlinehardwire: haven't bothered to draw any up it's so simple
02:33.49hardwirehehe
02:33.54scanlinethough I should probably do so
02:33.56hardwirewell what are you using.. got an inventory online?
02:34.27scanlinePIC12F675 micro, TC74 temperature sensor, some low-power 5V regulator from Zetex, an ASK transmitter board from Laipac
02:34.50scanlinethree resistors, and one capacitor
02:35.02lurgyyay capacitor
02:36.30scanlinewith a 1/4 wave antenna the range seems to be quite nice
02:36.50scanlineI can measure signal strength- with the receiver in my room and transmitter by the window in our living room, it was still 100%
02:37.45scanlineoh
02:37.55scanlinewhoops, forgot to solder the TC74's ground
02:38.00scanlineno wonder this was giving me -1 degrees :P
02:38.27lurgyhehe
02:38.43lurgyany idea what temperature ranges this thingy can read?
02:39.35scanlinelooks like -40 to 125 C
02:39.48lurgyyay for preposterously wide ranges
02:39.50scanlineaccuracy is a bit cheesy, but these are the exact same sensors that http://navi.cx/therm was using
02:39.56scanlineso it's not that bad
02:39.56lurgy:)
02:40.25hardwirewow
02:40.28hardwire434mhz ask
02:40.30hardwirethats neat ;)
02:40.35hardwirewhat are you using for recieving?  
02:40.43hardwirewith this thing I could recieve it with a cable box ;)
02:41.26file[laptop]you and your silly cable box
02:41.40hardwirewow
02:41.54hardwireif I could just power the reciever off of my pda
02:42.53scanlinehardwire: a matching receiver board from laipac- right now it's plugged into my desktop's serial port and I have a python program decoding packets, but soon I'll have another PIC decoding packets and sending data back to an NSLU2 over USB
02:43.22hardwirepower.. can the reciever go off of serial power?
02:43.52scanlineprobably
02:43.57scanlinebut I'll have USB power :P
02:44.13hardwirehmm
02:44.16hardwirewell.. hmm
02:44.31hardwireI am thinking I should get these boards in
02:44.34hardwire8mw..
02:44.35hardwirehm
02:44.37hardwireerr
02:44.37file[laptop]scanline makes all sorts of fun gadgets
02:44.38hardwirehmm
02:44.48hardwireI need a ham operators licence.
02:46.02ChipX86argh it's him again
02:48.34lurgyyay holes
02:49.28lurgyhmm, it looks like they moved the control-center package into gnome-control-center
02:49.30scanlinewe should also add other sensors to this later, like humidity, pressure, wind...
02:49.33lurgyexcept that it doesn't work either
02:49.35scanlinethe protocol should be extensible
02:49.40lurgysure
02:49.44lurgythough pressure is pretty silly
02:49.49scanlineyeah
02:49.57lurgyit will be almost identical for all of them
02:50.00scanlineheck, it'd be nice later to make a more accurate temperature sensor ;)
02:50.09scanlinemaybe with a precision thermistor and a 16-bit A/D
02:50.32lurgyyay for accurate
02:53.03ChipX86Nat just invited me to dinner
02:53.13lurgyooh
02:53.26file[laptop]ChipX86: free food!
02:53.35lurgydoes Nat live around there?
02:53.42ChipX86no, but he's in town visiting his sister
02:53.47lurgycool :)
02:53.50ChipX86she's actually pretty cool. Had sushi with her and her friends
02:54.25ChipX86one problem. They're in San Francisco. I have no way of getting there
02:57.22lurgyaw
02:57.29lurgythere are no busses up that way?
02:57.31lurgyor trains?
02:58.34lurgyyay, most of the applets and notification icons and stuff look really good now in gnome 2.9
02:58.47lurgyagainst a translucent panel
02:59.01lurgyexcept gaim's
02:59.03lurgybad gaim!
02:59.47file[laptop]ChipX86: DDR will solve your problems!
03:00.01laodamasThe Star Wars Christmas Album is now in /navi/media/incoming. Listen at your own peril.
03:00.07gonkulatorhowdy laodamas
03:00.18ChipX86he seems cool over the phone
03:00.19laodamashello gonkulator
03:00.20ChipX86I can't get there htough :/
03:01.14laodamasIncludes the famous What Can You Get A Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb) song
03:01.35gonkulatorargh
03:01.37lurgyhehe
03:01.48gonkulatorthere has to be a copy of the Summa Theologica for less than 150 dollars
03:02.17lurgyyikes
03:03.48ChipX86bah
