00:10.44scanlinedamn my bed for being warm and fuzzy
00:10.58scanlinezak: ooooh, congrats!
00:11.04scanlinezak: =D
00:11.37scanlineooh, and a minor in French
00:15.51purple_cowhiya
00:18.19scanlinehmm
00:18.25scanlineapparently kendra wants to drop something off here
00:18.52ChipX86|Goneall back home
00:20.12scanlineerk, the ringing in my ear is a lot louder than usual
00:20.16scanlinemaybe I'm dehydrated...
00:22.46scanlinemethinks it's time to get some coffee and assemble the rest of the therms
00:22.52scanlinethen I can finally call this therm thingy done for now
00:23.05scanlineI'm not really feeling like adding support for multiple sensors per station
00:24.45scanlineaha, returning SG-1 DVDs
00:25.42scanlinehrm
00:25.50scanlinethis outdoor sensor is still giving odd spikes in the morning
00:25.58scanlinethough not nearly as badly as the old sensor
00:28.02purple_cowthat's very strange
00:28.07purple_cowisn't it shadowed?
00:28.14scanlineI think so
00:28.20purple_cowyou could try moving it to the eastern end of that bar
00:28.44scanlineyeah
00:29.24scanlinehmm
00:29.31scanlineso I have five transmitters left
00:29.36scanlineI'm thinking that gives us enough for:
00:29.39scanlinedan's apartment
00:29.39scanlinecory's apartment
00:29.39scanlinemy room
00:29.39scanlinedavid's room
00:29.39scanlineevan's room
00:30.01purple_cow^^
00:30.32scanlineit'd still be nice to have one inside navi and in the kitchen, but that's not so important
00:30.50scanlineand if I get motivated enough to add 1-wire scanning and a lot of new protocol stuff, we could put two sensors on navi's therm
00:33.38scanlineI think I only have one more of the extra-precise sensors I used outside
00:33.53scanlineshould that go in our living room or on navi?
00:34.10purple_cownavi i'd say
00:34.24scanlinek
00:34.32scanlineyeah, the current navi graphs are awfully boring thanks to the TC74
00:36.44scanlineerg.. then I spend the rest of the weekend on CIA
00:36.57scanlineser has noticed CIA's memory leak bringing the machine down a couple times :(
00:40.23scanline<PROTECTED>
00:40.25scanlinebleh
00:42.41scanlinehmm
00:42.59scanlineyaknow, I bet this rrd-graphing-from-sql-data stuff I wrote for the therms might be usable in CIA
00:43.14purple_cowhehe
00:43.17merlin262zak made it into engineering?
00:43.25scanlinemerlin262: yep =D
00:48.07purple_cowhey look, a piece of paper with our hotel room # in LA
00:48.13purple_cowand an IFS ticket stub
00:48.24scanlinethe "today" graphs are rather neat for comparing current temperature with 24 hours ago
00:48.35purple_cowyep :)
00:48.49scanlineyay cold
00:50.18scanlineoh
00:50.27scanlinethis mystery maxim package is an I2C digital pot
00:50.39scanlinecool
00:50.42filewere you not expecting it?
00:50.44purple_cowscanline: there are apparently some 21" HP monitors (trinitrons i think) that have contrast issues
00:50.51scanlinefile: not really. it's something I ordered a while ago and forgot about
00:50.55filescanline: ah
00:51.05scanlinepurple_cow: ooh, 21"
00:51.32purple_cowthey've got the same "model" number as mine, but the enclosures are significantly different
00:52.11scanlinecool
00:52.16scanlinesomething to break my desk :)
00:52.30filereinforce it's structural integrity
00:53.23scanlinehmm
00:53.37purple_cowapparently those monitors have a special maintenance mode in the menus
00:53.39scanlinethe other neat thing about the 1-wire sensors: they don't crap out at 5V like the TC74 does
00:53.42purple_cowand you can readjust the black point with that
00:53.44scanlineso battery life should be better
00:53.49scanlinepurple_cow: neat
00:55.22gonkulatorso did I read that correctly, that someone is getting new monitors
00:56.20gonkulatoror am I just being wishful :)
00:58.48kergothbleh
00:59.10purple_cowgonkulator: we'll see
01:03.04gonkulatorpurple_cow: ok
01:11.02gonkulatorhmm...
01:11.09gonkulatorpurple_cow: development-sources?
01:11.15gonkulatoroh, nm
01:15.44CIA-5navi-misc: 03jupiter * r6202 10evo/calendar-weather/ (calendar-weather.c org-gnome-calendar-weather.eplug.in): somewhat hackish way of causing the migration step to occur at the right time
01:16.18purple_cowhrm
01:16.19scanlinesuch vibrant colors!
01:16.25purple_cowthat doesn't work if evolution is started up in offline mode :(
01:16.45ChipX86:((
01:19.08scanlinehttp://navi.cx/therm/source/navi/
01:19.31scanlinenice little spike downward right before it turned off
01:30.26scanlinepurple_cow: if you don't mind a green altoids box I can program this one for you now
01:30.54purple_cowyou could stealthly program it and mount it in evan's room ;)
01:31.02scanlinehmm, that works too
01:31.28purple_cowback?
01:31.38scanlineevan getting back from his trip
01:31.42purple_cowahh
01:32.46purple_cowthere was some ambiguity in "he"
01:32.53scanlineah, right
01:32.56scanlinesilly languages
01:33.27purple_cowenglish personage wasn't really designed with /me in mind
01:33.43scanlineyeah
01:33.44purple_cowi suppose you could have replaced the first "he" with evan
01:34.00scanlinethat'd be too easy
01:35.14scanlineah :(
01:35.36scanlineoop, therm interface explodes if a source has no packets yet
01:39.33CIA-5navi-misc: 03micah * r6203 10therm/pytherm/web.py: Fix a small handful of bugs that show up when a sensor has no data collected yet
02:19.00ChipX86yay, finally getting the ethernet and telephone lines that were running along the floor from my office room to my living room tacked up cleanly to the ceiling and walls
02:24.22scanlineyay
02:26.43scanlineahh
02:26.49scanlinethis should give a much better indication of navi's real temperature
02:26.52scanlinehttp://navi.cx/therm/source/navi/
02:26.58scanlinethe sensor is right behind the power supply now
02:27.12scanlineand it's a much more accurate sensor
02:37.54gonkulator"Kevin, I really don't want to grab your pants" --Monk
02:38.29kergothbleh
02:46.01gonkulator"Windows: the only OS where you can ping localhost and reliably get packet loss"
03:06.16CIA-5navi-misc: 03micah * r6204 10therm/pytherm/web.py: Tweak color ranges again, to better illustrate temperatures between about 25 and 40 celcius
03:36.51purple_cowyay
03:36.53purple_cowrent all deliverated
03:38.14purple_cowhehe
03:38.22purple_cownavi-proxy is prolly gonna go on the monster UPS
03:41.00purple_cow(minuteman enterprise 3200 + 2 BP4 external battery enclosures)
03:41.21scanlinemmm, ups
03:41.40purple_cowfor a total of 12 12V@12Ah batteries =)
03:41.53scanlineyowza
03:44.56purple_cow9U of rack space
03:44.58purple_cowit's a beast
