00:04.48 | phocus | i have my softphones working fine, now i have one phone, outside of my network, it calls a number (like my cellphone) the phone rings, and i answer and they cant hear me, and i cant hear them, but the sound hardware on that end is working fine |
00:05.06 | JT | CoffeeIV: you can set variables in dialplan too as well as in the globals section |
00:06.29 | phocus | anyone please |
00:06.35 | CoffeeIV | if you are accessing a variable from an AGI script, is there a difference in how you access a global dialplan variable versus a channel variable ? |

00:36.38 | samy_b1 | yes |
00:36.43 | carrar | are you sure? |
00:36.48 | samy_b1 | whell |
00:36.58 | carrar | they would have to make a switch |
00:37.03 | carrar | mode none md5 |
00:37.05 | carrar | too md5 |
00:37.06 | samy_b1 | i can see it in the sip debug msgs |
00:38.01 | samy_b1 | so |
00:38.09 | samy_b1 | do i do somting spacia to register or not |
00:39.01 | samy_b1 | i mean is that the right way |

00:39.08 | CoffeeIV | I tracked down the source of my issue with dialplan variables -- apparently an asterisk-perl AGI script can't read variables if you do an $AGI->verbose() before reading the first variable |

00:43.26 | redax | doing a Dial(SIP/ext&some@Local/othercontext) |
00:43.40 | redax | and wait somehow in othercontext is a very bad idea? |

00:44.15 | carrar | redax, thats what i do |
00:44.25 | carrar | in othercontext I do a chanisavil |
00:44.27 | carrar | wait |
00:44.29 | carrar | then ring |
00:44.55 | redax | ah. but I'd like to ring the other exts after ~5-10 seconds |
00:45.03 | samy_b1 | carrar |
00:45.10 | carrar | just put the wait |
00:45.12 | carrar | for what you want |
00:45.19 | redax | no pain at all? |
00:45.21 | samy_b1 | i tred that already but is not geting me registerd |
00:45.26 | carrar | if the other channel answers it will hang theo ther up |
00:45.31 | redax | what about if primary ext picks up? |
00:45.40 | redax | aha. |
00:45.52 | carrar | i do that for like DESK, softclient, cell |
00:45.55 | carrar | all the same way |
00:46.06 | carrar | 1st check to make sure they are registered |
00:46.28 | redax | basicly I want to ring the primary ext with "ringtone" meanwhile the others silently... |
00:46.34 | carrar | no use having more errors then necessary on thescreen :) |
00:46.40 | redax | that's why I need this "cheat" |
00:47.30 | redax | like setting ALERT_INFO int to othercontext and Dial the rest of the extensions... |
00:47.43 | carrar | yeah I don't like that |
00:47.52 | carrar | only because it works like crap on cisco's |
00:48.10 | redax | ehh. I want this feature on linksys spa922's |
00:49.10 | redax | either way would be good to have some kind of feature to notify the secondary exts like incoming call for XY. and if they want they can pickup the call by *8 or whatever |
00:49.36 | carrar | You can set a caller id name |
00:49.40 | carrar | on theother ext |
00:50.19 | redax | sure. but the I don't want to ring them forever by dial(ext1&secondext1&secondext2...) |
00:51.08 | redax | the most annoying stuff is the `X missed calls' in their display |
00:51.32 | carrar | i think thats a product of the phone |
00:51.41 | redax | I'd be happy to ring some spa922 ext, without it notify the missed call |
00:51.48 | carrar | any call you send to the phone is gonna do that |
00:51.57 | redax | carrar: yah. that's it. |
00:52.46 | carrar | 941 & 942's do that also |
00:52.46 | carrar | then you loose two menu options |
00:52.47 | carrar | till you clear those |
00:52.47 | redax | yah. |
00:52.57 | redax | we bought a snom360, and I must say I like this phone. |
00:53.29 | redax | nice features, like the flexible button configs, (even you can have http ACTION_URL)\ |
00:53.36 | carrar | i hate the buttoms on the snom |
00:53.38 | redax | that's how I solved the nightmode lately |
00:53.55 | redax | but they have BLF |
00:54.06 | carrar | Polycoms do BLF the best |
00:54.09 | carrar | in my view |
00:54.26 | carrar | 601 with 3 sidecars |

01:58.24 | Juggie | no harm in having them on or off |
01:58.27 | syzygyBSD | I did, but those comments weren't there when we set it up |
01:58.30 | ManxPower | Juggie: yes they will. |
01:59.05 | syzygyBSD | I trust manx, he has helped me many a time |
01:59.08 | ManxPower | A well known ITSP had callprogress enabled on their PRIs when they first started up. They, as expected, got randomly dropped calls until they removed. |

01:59.32 | Juggie | ManxPower, ok, but i've never noticed a problem. |

01:59.58 | syzygyBSD | Juggie: are they set to yes? |
01:59.59 | ManxPower | if you don't have callprogress or busydetect then they default to off |
02:00.38 | Juggie | ManxPower, i would have to look tomorow @ work |
02:01.04 | Juggie | dont have access to the boxes, but if the default is off then thats probally what it is, i misread, though you were implying the default was on. |
02:01.12 | ManxPower | Juggie: what, you don't have 24 hr ssh access into the PBX at work? <tease> |
02:01.27 | ManxPower | Juggie: if the default was on all hell would break lose |

02:01.50 | ManxPower | callprogress especially really fucks things up. |
02:01.55 | Mavvie | geez... just read the thread about "Docs converted to TeX" |
02:02.04 | Juggie | i'm suprised it would take effect on a pri though. |
02:02.06 | ManxPower | whigh is why the config file says not to use that. |
02:02.08 | Juggie | that seems like a bug to me |
02:02.12 | Mavvie | at least somebody understands the issue and promotes docbook. |
02:02.37 | Juggie | i cant imagine why we would try to detect call progress on a pri channel. |
02:02.39 | ManxPower | Mavvie: nothing like requiring a 150MB piece of software just to read the damn docs. |
02:03.02 | ManxPower | Mavvie: I don't CARE what the main format is, as long as they ship plaintext docs. |
02:03.24 | Mavvie | ManxPower: documentation should be supplied in the distribution tarballs, not compiled on the machines itself. |
02:03.36 | ManxPower | Mavvie: exactly |
02:03.59 | Juggie | txt should come w/ the tarball |
02:04.07 | Juggie | and there should be an asterisk-docs package |
02:05.10 | Juggie | if you want to voice concern, yell @ russell |
02:05.56 | Juggie | infact, i would encourage you to do it just for fun :> |
02:06.46 | JT | i agree, plaintext should be included with tarball |
02:08.21 | ManxPower | Say that on the -dev mailing list. |
02:08.30 | ManxPower | They seem to think that HTML docs are OK. |
02:08.40 | JT | i'm not on the lists |
02:08.41 | JT | hrm |
02:08.51 | ManxPower | Have they even navigated thru a complex web page with a text browser |

02:09.33 | ManxPower | JT: I need to update my mailinglist filters to filter out AsteriskGUI, AsteriskNOW, and various other things I don't care about. |

02:11.47 | ManxPower | Juggie: Does Google support IMAP over SSL? |
02:12.05 | Juggie | ManxPower, not yet, but i hear its comming. |
02:12.20 | ManxPower | I'll reconsider when they do. |
02:12.46 | Juggie | they already have pop/smtp as you know, but i read that imap was in the works. |
02:12.50 | ManxPower | The other issue is importing 8 years of e-mail. |
02:13.01 | ManxPower | Juggie: I've not used POP in 15 years |
02:13.01 | Juggie | ManxPower, i did that last week... |
02:13.01 | syzygyBSD | zaptel version is 1.2.16 with asterisk 1.2.17 |
02:13.10 | Juggie | well, a few weeks ago. |
02:13.14 | syzygyBSD | :( version mismatch would have been nice |
02:13.18 | Juggie | it took like a day. |
02:13.19 | ManxPower | syzygyBSD: one would hope those are close enough |
02:13.21 | Juggie | but it was worth it. |
02:13.27 | Juggie | gmail only polls 200emails @ a time. |
02:13.34 | syzygyBSD | ManxPower: newest zaptel when I downloaded newest asterisk |
02:13.36 | Juggie | and it had to download 2500 :) |
02:14.00 | ManxPower | syzygyBSD: we had problems with .17 and .18. All the crashes went away when we went back to .15 |
02:14.02 | syzygyBSD | btw , modinfo gives version number |
02:14.03 | JT | pissweak ;) |
02:14.04 | ManxPower | (asteirsk versions) |
02:14.36 | syzygyBSD | no crashes, just now working with zaptel well, just a configuration error but I don't care anymore |
02:14.41 | JT | one of my mailboxes has 110000 messages, another has 17000 or so, the rest are less than 5000 so not worth counting |

02:15.06 | ManxPower | I never understood why in these modern times ANYONE would consider POP3 an acceptable solution to anything. |
02:15.13 | ManxPower | JT: did the dates get messed up? |
02:15.15 | syzygyBSD | ManxPower: I still use it |
02:15.23 | JT | ManxPower: ? |
02:15.32 | ManxPower | syzygyBSD: How do you deal with storing folders on your pop3 server? |
02:15.55 | syzygyBSD | lol, oh, I have gmail download from my other servers via pop3 |
02:15.58 | ManxPower | JT: I helped someone migrate his mail from my server to gmail and in gmail the dates on the messages were all the current date. |
02:16.00 | Mavvie | there is a difference between client mail retrieval and client mail storage. |
02:16.16 | ManxPower | mail should not be stored on the client. |
02:16.26 | JT | ManxPower: i don't migrate mail to gmail |
02:16.49 | ManxPower | JT: Then how did you import 1100 messages into gmail? |

02:17.06 | JT | ManxPower: well gmail is both a client and a server, so i guess syzygyBSD is storing them on a server |
02:17.13 | JT | ManxPower: i didn't, that was someone else |
02:17.21 | ManxPower | Sorry. |
02:17.23 | ManxPower | Juggie then |
02:17.48 | puzzled | ManxPower: doesn't gmail support imap too? in that case it would be a breeze |
02:17.53 | ManxPower | I have a perfectly fine e-mail client. It is called "Thunderbird" and is available for free. |
02:18.10 | JT | i have a fine one too |
02:18.14 | JT | it's called "mutt" |
02:18.16 | JT | also free |
02:18.17 | JT | :) |
02:18.17 | ManxPower | puzzled: according to Juggie it does not support IMAP over SSL |
02:18.24 | ManxPower | as a server |
02:18.32 | puzzled | ah ok |
02:18.58 | Juggie | ManxPower, i manage a number of domains volonteerly, so, i dont want to hassle with updating virus checker, spam assasin, etc... just pointing @ gmail and giving users access to the simple admin interface is easier. |
02:19.03 | ManxPower | I want to access my messages using my preferred e-mail client, Thunderbird, not some silly web based interface |
02:19.13 | Juggie | they get pop/webmail, i can create mail.domain.com (which points to gmail) etc. |
02:19.20 | Juggie | yes, imap would be nice though. |
02:19.45 | ManxPower | My users would stop using e-mail on my domain if I moved to gmail as the server |
02:19.57 | ManxPower | Too many of them use Mutt |
02:20.10 | Juggie | i bet 95% of the people i deal with have never heard of imap |

02:21.58 | JT | if you're an isp, users pulling with POP3 is great because they usually delete emails off servers |
02:22.53 | Juggie | yeah, normally downloading a pop mail w/ a pop client = deleting off the pop server |
02:22.56 | Mavvie | but we're not a normal ISP. |
02:22.58 | Juggie | unless you change the default config. |

04:12.28 | dsmith__ | I am thinking all this could be done for around 4-5K |
04:12.29 | linagee | dsmith__: two of those cards would already be $9k. heh |
04:12.43 | dsmith__ | i amnot sure on the exact cards |
04:12.54 | linagee | dsmith__: what exactly are you trying to do (hopefully the guys that said $11k already asked this) |
04:13.06 | dsmith__ | upgrade our PBX server |
04:13.12 | linagee | dsmith__: too general |

04:13.20 | linagee | dsmith__: number of lines? |
04:13.26 | dsmith__ | ~15-20 |
04:14.31 | jbot | -5 |
04:14.32 | linagee | dsmith__: ... that could be handled with one T1 |
04:14.32 | linagee | dsmith__: do you need 15-20 lines at once, or do you have 15-20 handsets, or what? |

04:14.33 | linagee | dsmith__: 15 lines at one time? how many handsets? |
04:14.33 | dsmith__ | same |
04:14.37 | dsmith__ | slightly less |
04:14.39 | linagee | dsmith__: ... if you only have 15 handsets, i don't see how it could be $11k |
04:14.44 | dsmith__ | i know |
04:14.51 | dsmith__ | I chocked when I saw the price |
04:14.54 | dsmith__ | *choked |
04:14.56 | linagee | dsmith__: unless you are planning for some major expansion |
04:15.13 | linagee | dsmith__: you'd only need one T1 card, and fractional T1 (depending on usage patterns) |

04:18.12 | dsmith__ | thats it |

04:18.18 | [TK]D-Fender | dsmith__, 15 x IP 320 ($95) + 24 port PoE switch ($425) + 1 port T1 card w/ HWEC ($1000) = $2580 in telecom gear. Add server and you're done |
04:18.39 | linagee | [TK]D-Fender: in a nutshell, what is HWEC? |

04:23.40 | linagee | dsmith__: you mean, "how many channels on one T1?" |
04:23.44 | dsmith__ | there are 24 pairs in a telephone cable |
04:23.49 | JT | dsmith__: you will need a better method of determining how many lines you have at present |
04:23.52 | linagee | dsmith__: again, old school. |
04:24.03 | KaiHanari | im looking for a nice outgoing provider that accepts paypal as payment. not sipdiscount. any suggestions? |
04:24.06 | dsmith__ | if its 24, then its 48 is what we have in the closet |
04:24.10 | JT | dsmith__: there can be hundreds of pairs in a phone cable, depends on type of cable |
04:24.11 | linagee | dsmith__: newer tech puts them all on one cat5 connector. "smart jack" :) |
04:24.22 | dsmith__ | thats what we have now |
04:24.57 | linagee | JT: like i said, it depends on how deep your pockets are. ;) |
04:25.08 | linagee | JT: well... i suppose eventuall you might run out of copper. heh |
04:26.16 | JT | linagee: 1 fibre pair can fit in excess of 2 million phone calls on it |
04:26.53 | JT | so what is on the cable is WAY more important than the cable :P |

04:28.59 | KaiHanari | which wiki. there are a lot of wikis. |
04:29.03 | JT | each wavelength is 10Gbit/s |
04:29.09 | linagee | JT: DWDM. never heard of that. heh |
04:29.17 | JT | so a fibre can easily fit 1.6Tbit/s on it |
04:29.29 | JT | Dense Wave Division Multiplexing |
04:29.37 | linagee | JT: and the equipment at each side would be how many millions? :) |
04:29.47 | linagee | (of dollars) |
04:30.00 | JT | just means using different wavelengths really, and a lot of them |
04:30.19 | JT | linagee: it would be not bad a cost, considering the capacity :) |
04:30.45 | JT | most major fibre networks have used DWDM for a while now |
04:30.47 | linagee | JT: when does the latency of 100baseT become an issue to the point where fiber would make sense? heh |
04:30.52 | JT | especially for submarine use |
04:31.12 | JT | i am talking about 9 year old technology by the way |
04:31.12 | linagee | JT: if you had a wire going across a college campus, there's not going to be enough latency to distort voip. heh |
04:31.22 | linagee | JT: and this year technology = ? :) |
04:31.22 | JT | current telco gear can go 40Gbit/s per wavelength |
04:31.30 | JT | and probably more wavelengths per pair |
04:31.54 | linagee | JT: and each side has $700k worth of equipment to do this trick? :) |
04:32.17 | JT | linagee: sorry to break your bubble there, but the speed of light is the speed of light, the speed is very similar over copper and silica |
04:32.21 | linagee | JT: how does a submarine use fiber? what do they unroll it out in the ocean and talk across that line? heh |
04:32.23 | Strom_C | linagee: it's much cheaper to replace equipment on the end of fiber than it is to pull new fiber |
04:32.43 | JT | the advantage of fibre there is that it's immune to interference and ground current potential differences |
04:32.47 | linagee | Strom_C: true. especially if running the fiber costs you a few millions in trench diggers. heh |
04:32.58 | linagee | Strom_C: s/millions/hundreds of millions/ |
04:33.12 | Strom_C | s/millions/cocks/ |
04:33.15 | linagee | lol |
04:33.23 | JT | linagee: submarine means under water, undersea cables that link continents are known as "submarine cables" |
04:33.23 | linagee | Strom_C: how much is a cock? |
04:34.06 | dsmith__ | anyone from MD, VA Wash Dc? |
04:34.10 | linagee | JT: i would think they are called "underseas cables". so a submarine cable has nothing to do with submarines? |

04:42.38 | JT | due to the regeneration requirements |
04:42.52 | linagee | JT: weird |
04:43.03 | JT | generally fibre signals require regeneration every 1000km |
04:43.11 | JT | this is what limits submarine cables a bit |
04:43.23 | JT | they need amplification approximately every 100km |
04:43.25 | linagee | JT: the gooey center is fiber. surrounded by (rather large) metal wires, coated with mylar, coated with polyethylene. |
04:43.31 | dsmith__ | submarines must carry alot of wire around with them... :) |
04:43.38 | linagee | er, wrapped with mylar |
04:43.44 | JT | that's done with pure optical amplifiers |
04:43.57 | JT | ie. the signals are not converted back to electrical to amplify |
04:44.16 | linagee | JT: i wonder how they deploy the wire? LOL |
04:44.19 | JT | but every 1000km, they pull every wavelength down to electrical for reclocking |
04:44.30 | linagee | JT: imagine carrying around a wire that goes more than 1000km |
04:44.37 | linagee | it would be enormously heavy |
04:44.42 | JT | linagee: umm there'd be multiple cables |

04:47.19 | JT | linagee: cable ships to be technically correct |
04:47.30 | Daejeo1 | anyone tried to configure Globe7 with Asterisk for outbound as well as in comings calls? |
04:47.32 | linagee | JT: where there ever dry pairs (hopefully dry. :) ) laid along the ocean? |
04:47.38 | linagee | JT: and are they still being used today? heh |
04:47.56 | linagee | JT: we didn't always have fiber |
04:47.58 | JT | linagee: ages ago, and used any more, not in the first world i think |
04:48.14 | JT | linagee: also, fibre cables have copper in them too to run power |
04:48.14 | phocus | how important is port 10000...it it is being used by webmin on another server? |
04:48.20 | linagee | JT: and the call quality would be horrible. heh |
04:48.38 | JT | yeah, they used horrible schemes like analogue time division multiplexing |
04:49.13 | kiscokid | phocus: have you looked at this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/NAT+and+VOIP ? |
04:49.50 | linagee | JT: hilarious! "Samuel Morse proclaimed his faith in it as early as the year 1840, and in 1842 he submerged a wire, insulated with tarred hemp and India rubber, in the water of New York harbour, and telegraphed through it." |
04:49.56 | linagee | tarred hemp. heh |
04:51.26 | JT | heh |
04:51.54 | JT | the wikipedia article's explanation of current technology is very basic |
04:52.36 | linagee | JT: improve it. :) |
04:52.54 | JT | if i can be bothered |
04:53.00 | JT | and you have to find sources to cite |
04:53.02 | JT | annoying |
04:53.34 | rudholm | yeah, I remember reading something really obvious and it said "citation needed" |
04:53.43 | linagee | JT: a bit in the article got me thinking on a tangent subject, why are power lines dangerous? |
04:53.58 | JT | linagee: isn't that obvious? |
04:53.59 | rudholm | I think it was something I knew from direct first-hand experience |
04:54.06 | linagee | JT: sure 7,200 volts or whatnot could kill you, but why not have a safety disconnect system? |
04:54.15 | rudholm | a whatnow? |
04:54.18 | JT | linagee: how would that system work? |
04:54.22 | linagee | JT: like if you smashed a pole with your car and the the wires came down |
04:54.33 | JT | linagee: how would it detect that? |
04:54.34 | rudholm | go on |
04:54.43 | JT | solution: don't smash into power poles |
04:54.46 | linagee | JT: wires alongside those wires that get their circuit broken |
04:54.58 | JT | what if they don't get broken? |
04:55.09 | linagee | JT: true... |
04:55.15 | linagee | JT: perhaps i am thinking too hollywood |
04:55.24 | linagee | JT: the wires could just come down off the pole and not split apart. heh |
04:55.46 | rudholm | that might not help you if there are large potentials with respect to ground |
04:55.51 | JT | if the wires shunt enough current to earth, the vacuum circuit breakers at the substations should trip |
04:55.54 | florz | linagee: Plus switching off could take a while ... |
04:56.17 | linagee | florz: of course! the technician to throw the breaker switch has a 4 hour SLA. ;) hehehhe |
04:56.29 | JT | there are automatic breakers |
04:56.36 | linagee | (i don't really know his SLA, but i'd bet it's something like that) |
04:56.37 | rudholm | yeah, and it'd be impossible to tell the difference between a human body across the lines and any other electrical load. |
04:56.49 | JT | the probablem is thousands of amps need to be shunted to ground first |
04:56.57 | JT | problem |
04:57.00 | linagee | JT: true. i was just about to say |
04:57.01 | florz | But even those might take long enough to stop the current flow for you to be dead ... |
04:57.11 | JT | florz: oh of course |
04:57.21 | JT | they're not really for personnel protection |
04:57.24 | linagee | JT: it's the circuit breaker problem. even moreso. if you put a circuit breaker in there, you can't source that much power if you needed to. it would trip. |
04:57.31 | JT | they're there to stop things catching fire |
04:57.37 | linagee | yep |
04:57.51 | linagee | JT: circuit breaker rated at the "catching fire" current rating of the wires. heh |
04:58.01 | JT | linagee: best solution is going to be not to touch live wires, for quite some time to come |
04:58.15 | linagee | JT: might not be voluntary |
04:58.20 | JT | too bad |
04:58.28 | florz | linagee: That's basically all circuit breakers are there for, except for RCDs |
04:58.29 | linagee | JT: if a car smashed into a pole and the wire came down to your (metal) car? heh |
04:58.34 | JT | indeed |
04:58.38 | JT | a too bad situation |
04:58.41 | linagee | heh |
04:58.41 | JT | solution: don't crash |
04:58.46 | linagee | indeed |
04:58.49 | linagee | JT: but but |
04:58.51 | rudholm | no flowers for you |
04:58.53 | linagee | JT: people crash all the time. :) |
04:59.00 | linagee | JT: solution: get rid of insurance. :) |
04:59.09 | JT | into a power pole, with enough force to bring it down, not that often |
04:59.13 | JT | solution: bury cables |
04:59.15 | linagee | if we had no insurance, everyone would be driving so safely. lol |
04:59.25 | linagee | "oh shoot! don't crash!" heh |
04:59.37 | linagee | as it is, insurance *allows* people to drive like asses |
04:59.38 | dsmith__ | wireless power |
04:59.50 | rudholm | that's what radio is |
05:00.02 | dsmith__ | kinda |
05:00.12 | rudholm | no, precisely |
05:00.13 | dsmith__ | I mean, wireless power for your home |
05:00.15 | florz | And even if circuit breakers would cut off instantly at both sides of the line simultaneously - I could imagine that the line's electric charge could still take long enough to decay for it to be lethal ... |
05:00.25 | linagee | dsmith__: how would that work exactly? hah |
05:00.26 | rudholm | you mean, enough to do useful things like run a TV or light bulb. |
05:00.32 | dsmith__ | ask Tesla, |
05:00.35 | linagee | dsmith__: point to point? better not get in the path of that beam or die. lol |
05:00.37 | dsmith__ | yes.. |

05:00.53 | JT | linagee: tesla did it hundreds of years ago |
05:00.56 | dsmith__ | Nathan Stubblefield |
05:01.15 | dsmith__ | no need for powerlines |
05:01.19 | dsmith__ | or feeders |
05:01.28 | rudholm | but the ground is only one conductor |
05:01.35 | rudholm | where's the potential? |
05:01.39 | dsmith__ | air |
05:01.42 | linagee | JT: if we all had portable power stations in our houses that were just as efficient as our regular sources, there would be no problem. heh. |
05:01.49 | linagee | JT: it's all a math problem. ;) |
05:01.50 | rudholm | hahah, you're going to ionize the air??? |
05:01.52 | florz | rudholm: Potential needs only one conductor =:-) |
05:01.57 | dsmith__ | you can run vary phases in the ground |
05:02.02 | florz | rudholm: And not even that necessarily ;-) |
05:02.13 | rudholm | gee, I must have missed that class when I was getting my EE degree. |
05:02.51 | florz | rudholm: Indeed - or you are just saying "potential" for "potential difference" ;-) |
05:02.53 | dsmith__ | EEs dont have the complete picture of eletricty |
05:03.01 | rudholm | hahahahahaah |
05:03.09 | rudholm | oh and you do, right? :) |
05:06.09 | dsmith__ | no, but maxwell had it right in his equations |
05:06.09 | linagee | JT: oh yeah. you have different problems if you start burring 7,200 volt wires. heh |
05:06.09 | dsmith__ | who was the person that collapsed them? |
05:06.09 | linagee | JT: what if you dig into it. :) |

05:07.42 | JT | actually an awesome thing about fibre is it's made from one of the most adundant and cheap materials on planet Earth |

05:08.06 | linagee | JT: light power. :) |
05:08.29 | dsmith__ | I have pondered power over etherlight |
05:08.30 | linagee | JT: you can cut into someone's eye using light power coming out of a fiber optic |
05:08.56 | JT | linagee: they still haven't got more than a couple of watts of power over fibre |
05:09.02 | dsmith__ | in reality though we have all the power surrounding us that we need |
05:09.11 | linagee | JT: you need some way of being able to add multiple lasers to the same beam. :) |
05:09.25 | dsmith__ | there is enough energy in a coffee cup size area to power whatever you like |
05:09.34 | linagee | dsmith__: true. use your feces to make methane, burn the methane and turn that into power. :) |
05:09.35 | JT | linagee: i think you actually need a way to efficiently convert it back to electricity..... |
05:09.46 | linagee | dsmith__: i'm actually half serious. :) |

05:10.25 | dsmith__ | just not poplar or known at the prsent |
05:10.27 | linagee | dsmith__: i've been to a farm were they take animal feces, let the methane gas be trapped, and pipe it into the house and cook using that. it's actually pretty cool. :) |

05:12.16 | dsmith__ | haah |
05:12.42 | dsmith__ | I mean molecular disassociation |
05:12.58 | linagee | JT: the only problem with that is the maximum PSI you could pipe water at. ;) |

05:14.09 | JT | i think you've been smoking a few too many drugs, dsmith__ |
05:14.18 | linagee | JT: wouldn't that be cool to make a generator that used water power to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen (using a small generator), then burnt the hydrogen and turned that into electricity, and then you'd come up with more energy than it took to move the water? :) |
05:14.19 | dsmith__ | hehehe, I dont do drugs... |
05:14.24 | rudholm | I'm still waiting for the perpetual motion machine here... |
05:14.28 | JT | dsmith__: you should, you'd have an excuse |
05:14.28 | linagee | that would be undescribably cool. :) |
05:14.47 | JT | linagee: obviously it'd fail the conservation of energy principle |
05:14.53 | linagee | JT: huh? no it wouldn't |
05:14.59 | JT | yes, it would |
05:14.59 | linagee | JT: there's energy stored up in water |

05:15.23 | dsmith__ | linagee: has the idea |
05:15.35 | JT | what, take more drugs? |
05:15.36 | linagee | JT: when you burn hydrogen, you're releasing that energy |
05:15.49 | JT | how the fuck do you burn it if it's still water?? |
05:15.54 | rudholm | linagee: what do you get when you burn hydrogen? |

05:16.19 | JT | linagee: yes, please research "the hydrogen economy" |
05:16.23 | JT | this is an age old problem |

05:16.55 | JT | also, hydrogen has a much power energy density than hydrocarbon based fuels |
05:17.03 | rudholm | you can burn hydrogen and oxygen, the problem is that it costs you more energy to split the hydrogen and oxygen apart in the first place. |

05:18.08 | JT | dsmith__: incorrect i'd say |
05:18.10 | linagee | JT: there is energy in atoms. from the sun. |
05:18.31 | JT | dsmith__: gasoline/petrol has a much much higher amount of energy, for example |
05:18.36 | dsmith__ | one sec |
05:18.41 | KaiHanari | actually. dsmith__ isnt totally crazy. the power from enough solar panels to cover your garage isnt enough to power your house, but it is to power a water seperator. store the hydrogen, compressed, and use a fuel cell. |
05:18.46 | linagee | JT: atoms are formed in the sun |
05:19.01 | dsmith__ | Kai: thats one approach |

05:20.04 | JT | PV panels are a gimmick at the moment |

05:24.12 | KaiHanari | dsmith__, i have to agree with JT. compressed hydrogen takes a lot of energy to make. because its under so much pressure. you need a compressor, and a hell of a lot of hydrogen |
05:24.38 | dsmith__ | Im not talking compressed hydrogen and I am not refuting that fact |
05:24.49 | rudholm | dsmith__: the people who "said the same thing about heavier than air flight" were not engineers or physicists. they were journalists and pundits. |
05:24.50 | linagee | KaiHanari: have you seen that "fuel cell plug in hybrid"? :) |
05:24.57 | KaiHanari | linagee, heh, pressure sensitive :) your on one sidewalk "block" and 3 in front/behind you are successively dim-er than the one your on... |

05:26.41 | rudholm | dsmith__: you're confusing the issue here, it doesn't matter *what* the energy density of hydrogen is, what matters is that it costs more energy to obtain the hydrogen than is yeilded by burning it. |

05:28.49 | KaiHanari | you can here. |
05:28.53 | KaiHanari | but only gas ones. |
05:28.56 | linagee | KaiHanari: you have to buy like a prius or something yourself, and modify it to have a larger battery, then add a plug to it |
05:28.57 | dsmith__ | JT: what mesage? |
05:29.04 | rudholm | dsmith__: burning H and O yields water and energy. the amount of energy is *less* than what's needed to dissociate the H and O again. |
05:29.05 | KaiHanari | i think the only one you can get here is the toyota prius |
05:29.11 | linagee | KaiHanari: no |
05:29.13 | JT | dsmith__: that you do not understand the BASIC LAWS OF PHYSICS |
05:29.17 | linagee | KaiHanari: toyota prius is NOT a plug in hybrid |

05:31.27 | dsmith__ | Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman and one of Einstein’s protégés, John Wheeler, calculated that there is more than enough energy in the volume of a coffee cup to evaporate all the worlds’ oceans |
05:31.33 | JT | KaiHanari: the prius works on the principle of storing energy that will be wasted |
05:31.35 | dsmith__ | Offtopic: but still the pint being |

05:32.22 | JT | linagee: debatable if plug ins are more efficient |
05:32.32 | linagee | JT: i was being sarcastic |

05:34.45 | rudholm | well, some are |
05:34.46 | linagee | lots of things don't make sense |
05:34.46 | JT | KaiHanari: do you understand how a prius works? |
05:34.59 | JT | KaiHanari: well, it's easy to understamd if you have a clue how it works :) |
05:35.10 | JT | linagee: however, the prius is not one of those things |
05:35.21 | rudholm | linagee: Elon Musk brought some over to my company's parking lot several months ago. |
05:35.31 | linagee | KaiHanari: the whole point behind the hybrid (and no cord) is that you can run the prius gas motor at optimum RPM while it's charging |
05:35.48 | KaiHanari | to my understanding it runs in electric mode at low speeds or untill low power, then kicks in. runs on gas, for prepulsion as well as charging, then electric at low speed again. |
05:35.48 | linagee | KaiHanari: that, and regenerative braking which gets stored back into the battery |
05:35.55 | JT | the prius stores unneeded power |
05:35.56 | linagee | KaiHanari: yes, it does |
05:36.00 | linagee | JT: indeed |
05:36.29 | JT | all the power comes from gasoline/petrol |
05:36.29 | linagee | JT: it will also charge the battery using the gas engine (based on some wacky algorithm) |
05:36.39 | JT | it just makes it a lot more efficient than a normal car |
05:36.45 | JT | linagee: yep |
05:36.52 | lemnarm | Are Natural Access AG4000 supported in asterisk ? |
05:37.11 | linagee | JT: and if you can add a larger battery pack and keep it in electric mode? and if you could charge that battery pack using a cord? then you have a LOT LOT more efficient than a normal car. :) |
05:37.46 | JT | a cord |
05:37.54 | JT | umm that'd be a fair effort |
05:38.01 | linagee | JT: i suppose a cord is not really required |
05:38.09 | linagee | JT: some way to get grid power to charge your batteries. :) |
05:38.25 | linagee | JT: it would be VERY VERY cool to have an inductive charging pad in your driveway. :) |
05:38.30 | JT | remember, grid power is usually false economy |
05:38.42 | JT | linagee: storing wasted energy is a very practical concept |
05:39.03 | linagee | JT: true, but grid power is cheap. and made in mass much more efficiently than your car burns gas. |
05:39.31 | linagee | JT: and when they improve grid power and make it even cleaner, everyone benefits, instantly. |

05:44.36 | linagee | rudholm: why not ask "how much electricty in dollars is needed to go one mile?" |
05:44.43 | linagee | rudholm: it costs me about a cent of electricity to go a mile. |
05:44.46 | rudholm | becuase I'd like to replicate your math |
05:44.55 | linagee | realistically about $0.008, but i rounded up. :) |
05:44.56 | rudholm | and I can't do that if you don't give me the starting variables |
05:44.56 | JT | probably because he wants to know how much a kWh costs you |
05:45.16 | linagee | rudholm: if a car gets 32 miles per gallon (my civic does), then it makes sense. :) |
05:45.56 | linagee | rudholm: it takes me about 6 hours to fully charge and uses about 1.5 kWh. :-> |

05:48.35 | linagee | rudholm: manufacuturer rated? 60km i think |
05:49.33 | linagee | (the manufacturer is destined for a foreign country. everything is in km) |
05:49.34 | linagee | (USA is too picky) |
05:49.34 | rudholm | how many amps does the charger draw? |
05:49.34 | linagee | rudholm: 6 amps |
05:49.34 | linagee | rudholm: down to 2 amps |
05:49.34 | linagee | 6 amps for like, 90% of the charge |
05:49.34 | rudholm | right, it should ramp down as you approach 100% |
05:49.34 | linagee | yep |
05:49.43 | linagee | rudholm: which is like... |
05:49.51 | linagee | rudholm: 600-700 watts... down to 200 watts or so |
05:49.58 | linagee | (at 115VAC) |
05:50.25 | linagee | rudholm: i wish i had a faster charger. but they cost way more. heh. and i'd have to have a special hook up to the breaker box. and it would only work for home. lol. lots of criteria. |
05:50.45 | linagee | rudholm: i *like* being able to plug into any 115VAC and juice up. hah. you really can't do that with an electric car. it would take forever |
05:50.55 | linagee | rudholm: i did more maths too |
05:50.59 | linagee | rudholm: if i drive 1 mile |
05:51.06 | linagee | rudholm: it takes me 11 minutes to charge that up |
05:51.17 | linagee | (i drove many miles and divided by the number of minutes) |
05:51.26 | rudholm | so a six-hour cycle takes a little over 3 kWh, or about 60c, which is about 3c/mile |
05:51.35 | linagee | rudholm: 60c? |
05:52.03 | rudholm | a bit over 3 multipled by 17 is about 60 |

05:54.34 | linagee | rudholm: in theory you could "blow your load" and just throw a bunch of current at the motor and it would probably take it without getting too hot |
05:54.41 | linagee | rudholm: but that would severly limit your distance |

05:55.27 | rudholm | linagee: if you ran too much current through it, it would overheat. heat is the limiting factor in the rating of most electric motors. |
05:55.39 | linagee | rudholm: it's a hub motor |
05:55.50 | linagee | rudholm: so as it goes forward, it's surrounded by air. :) |
05:56.01 | rudholm | linagee: once you get to hot, you melt the enamel on the windings, causing shorts, which cause the motor to draw more current, causing more heat... |
05:56.15 | rudholm | linagee: yeah, I understand that it's moving |
05:56.17 | linagee | rudholm: i think it should have a thermisistor and limit the speed based on that. :) |

05:58.01 | linagee | rudholm: but yes, i do agree |
05:58.36 | rudholm | linagee: so, to compare, my moped got 100MPG, at 3$/gallon, that's also 3 cents per mile |
05:58.47 | linagee | rudholm: where do you get 3 cents from |
05:58.54 | linagee | rudholm: the six hours i mentioned was an estimate |
05:58.56 | rudholm | linagee: of course, when I used it, gasoline was about 1$/gallon, so it was 1 cent per mile |
05:59.04 | linagee | rudholm: the 11 minutes to charge for 1 mile was more accurate |
05:59.15 | linagee | and 6 amps. that's accurate too. measured with the kill-o-watt. |
05:59.24 | rudholm | I got the 3 cents per miles from the numbers you gave me |
05:59.51 | linagee | rudholm: even if it was, i'm not paying that |
05:59.58 | linagee | rudholm: i took the measurement from my meter |
06:00.03 | linagee | rudholm: and the miles i've driven |
06:00.05 | rudholm | someone else pays your electric bill? :) |
06:00.06 | linagee | and divided it out |
06:00.09 | linagee | rudholm: yes |
06:00.17 | linagee | rudholm: and i've also charged it elsewhere as well. :) |
06:00.23 | linagee | rudholm: everywhere with a plug |
06:00.55 | linagee | rudholm: actually, the thing that really kills me is the batteries |
06:01.01 | linagee | rudholm: not AT ALL the charging of them |
06:01.02 | linagee | hah |
06:01.15 | rudholm | why do they kil you? |
06:01.21 | linagee | rudholm: the batteries run me $300 to change according to the guy i bought it from. (not sure of their ACTUAL price) |
06:01.34 | linagee | rudholm: they are rated for 8,000 miles (but may get 16,000 miles in reality) |
06:01.49 | rudholm | how many miles do you have on them so far? |
06:01.49 | linagee | rudholm: that works out to about $0.04/mi for batteries |
06:01.59 | rudholm | eek |
06:02.03 | linagee | so if "fuel" is 1 cent per mile and batteries are 4 cents, that 5 cents a mile |
06:02.07 | rudholm | that's like my video projector |
06:02.11 | linagee | rudholm: indeed. fsck fuel. it's all about the batteries |
06:02.21 | linagee | rudholm: huh? there are 4 batteries. they are standard deep cycle. nothing special. |
06:02.32 | linagee | 12V deep cycle battery |
06:02.44 | rudholm | so regular lead-acid |
06:02.47 | linagee | they may be cheaper by the time i actually have to replace them too since they're standard |
06:02.50 | linagee | rudholm: NO |
06:02.53 | linagee | rudholm: lead acid is evil |
06:02.56 | linagee | rudholm: silicon |
06:03.02 | rudholm | silicon and ? |
06:03.08 | linagee | lead kills the environment |
06:03.17 | linagee | rudholm: not exactly sure. i don't have a model number for the batteries |
06:03.25 | rudholm | do you have a brand? |
06:03.27 | linagee | rudholm: i'd have to tear apart the bike |
06:03.38 | rudholm | they're probably lead acid --same chemistry as in a car battery |
06:03.40 | linagee | rudholm: brand = http://www.maxxstarusa.com/ |

06:04.20 | rikstah | /j #uncov |
06:04.23 | JT | a deep cycle battery is just a lead acid battery with thicker lead places |
06:04.23 | linagee | rudholm: remember, it's cheaper than that |
06:04.31 | JT | OH GNO THE ENVIRONMENT :P |
06:04.37 | linagee | JT: there's different kinds of lead acid batteries |
06:04.38 | linagee | er |
06:04.41 | linagee | deep cycle. hahaha |
06:04.42 | JT | s/places/plates/ |
06:04.48 | JT | linagee: you said standard |
06:04.54 | linagee | JT: AGM? |
06:04.58 | linagee | is AGM lead acid |
06:05.07 | rudholm | linagee: they might be gell cells, which are also lead acid |
06:05.08 | linagee | if it's not, then it's probably that |
06:05.14 | linagee | :) |
06:05.35 | linagee | JT: it's a 12V battery |
06:05.44 | linagee | JT: i could put a 12V fuel cell in there for all it cares. :P |
06:05.58 | linagee | or lead or whatever |
06:06.02 | linagee | whatever is cheapest. :-> |
06:06.07 | linagee | burn those trees down. :) |
06:06.14 | JT | linagee: that is not standard by the way |
06:06.21 | JT | AGM is Absorbed Glass Matt |
06:06.31 | JT | which just means there's glass fibres between the lead plates |
06:06.39 | linagee | JT: a standard deep cycle battery would do the trick when changing it. whatever is cheapest, as i said. :P |
06:06.52 | JT | AGM is not cheapest |
06:06.58 | linagee | JT: ignore AGM |
06:07.09 | linagee | JT: when i replace it, the batteries will be CHEAP. >:-) |
06:07.15 | Mavvie | wow. wonder what that one is about. |
06:07.32 | linagee | JT: amp hours are all i will be concerned about |
06:08.24 | linagee | JT: maybe i could get them for $200 |
06:08.32 | linagee | JT: but $50/battery is sort of pushing it i think |
06:10.22 | linagee | rudholm: the manufacturer is a bit confused about the whole miles/kilometers thing i think. ;) |
06:10.23 | rudholm | yeah, convenient, that. |
06:10.40 | linagee | lol |
06:10.54 | linagee | rudholm: but it's way cheaper to drive than my car, which was about $0.35/mi |
06:10.56 | Mavvie | got it. |
06:11.03 | linagee | rudholm: after insurance, fuel, car payments, this and that |
06:11.24 | rudholm | linagee: yeah, definitely. the real savings is because you're moving only a couple hundred lbs rather than a few thousand lbs. |
06:11.42 | linagee | rudholm: oh oh! |
06:11.48 | linagee | rudholm: also normal scooters suck. :p |
06:11.58 | rudholm | how so? |
06:12.06 | linagee | rudholm: they are loud. this thing is so quiet, i could sneak up on you and you wouldn't even know i was there. :) |
06:12.48 | rudholm | yeah, that's cool. |
06:12.50 | rudholm | I like silence |
06:12.51 | linagee | rudholm: but yes, it does have a DOT approved brake light and headlight, so people on the road should know. :P |

06:28.05 | rudholm | linagee: to qualify as a "moped" you have to be <= 2HP, <= 35MPH, <= 50cc, automatic transmission, and have working pedals. |

06:44.40 | linagee | JT: http://www.p3international.com/products/special/P4400/P4400-CE.html |
06:44.49 | linagee | it says +/- 0.2% accuracy. :) |
06:45.46 | linagee | JT: a clamp on meter may be a bit more accurate, but it's not in a neat little package. :) |
06:46.05 | linagee | JT: and i'm sure that's actually all it is inside. lol |
06:46.13 | linagee | a stationary clamp on amp meter. lol |
06:46.36 | JT | maybe, maybe not |
06:47.04 | linagee | JT: essentially |
06:47.25 | linagee | JT: to measure the current in line, it would have to have one heck of a cooling circuit. heh |
06:47.39 | linagee | measuring using a clamp on is much easier |
06:47.47 | linagee | relative voltage generated from the coil. :) |
06:47.50 | JT | you don't have to draw heaps of current to measure it |
06:48.07 | linagee | JT: you have to pass the heaps of current through your measuring device |
06:48.18 | linagee | and if you weren't you'd be a clamp on circuit. :) |
06:48.45 | linagee | (or the same concept as one anyway) |
06:48.53 | JT | you know current is only drawn as a result of resistance right? not just because the current is there |
06:49.07 | linagee | JT: of course. |
06:49.16 | linagee | JT: you can't just say, "there is 15 amps at this wall outlet" |
06:49.23 | linagee | JT: that's one of the sucky things with my bike. :( |
06:49.42 | linagee | JT: i COULD get a 15 amp charger, but i don't know if the plug at where i'm charging it at could handle that. hah |
06:49.49 | linagee | there may be other devices on that line. :( |
06:49.58 | JT | haha, lame US power circuits |
06:50.03 | linagee | bah |
06:50.04 | JT | with your pissweak ratings ;) |
06:50.12 | linagee | JT: we have 220V |
06:50.19 | JT | heh |
06:50.19 | linagee | JT: it's just nowhere to be found. lol |
06:50.27 | linagee | JT: like for washers and dryers and such. hah |
06:50.32 | linagee | JT: not outside stores and such. :) |
06:50.34 | rudholm | yeah, my service is 240 |
06:50.43 | JT | it's 240V here, and the amount you can pull out of a domestic socket is far higher than in the US |
06:50.54 | linagee | JT: still 15A breaker? |
06:51.02 | JT | 16A breaker |
06:51.07 | linagee | ?? |
06:51.11 | *** join/#asterisk lesouvage (n=lesouvag@cc341200-a.assen1.dr.home.nl) |
06:51.12 | linagee | why such an odd number |
06:51.15 | JT | for 10A power points |
06:51.16 | linagee | :P |
06:51.18 | JT | tolerances |
06:51.28 | rudholm | european outlets are rated lower |
06:51.29 | linagee | aha! |
06:51.32 | linagee | so it's 10amps |
06:51.37 | JT | and 15A sockets are usually dedicated |
06:51.41 | JT | with 16A breakers |
06:51.47 | JT | or 20A breakers sometimes |
06:51.50 | linagee | JT: sounds complicated. :) |
06:51.54 | JT | hardly |
06:52.06 | linagee | JT: why not just have a digital system where the device says, "i need 15 amps, can you do it?" (like USB) |
06:54.30 | JT | linagee: simple maths, we can pull a lot more power than you can from a domestic socket |
06:54.30 | JT | linagee: that's way too complicated |
06:54.30 | linagee | JT: it may happen in the future. :) |
06:54.30 | linagee | stay tuned. :) |
06:54.31 | JT | 240 * 10 = 2400VA |
06:54.31 | rudholm | US domestic outlets are actually often 120v and 20A, |
06:54.31 | JT | 20A per socket? |
06:54.31 | rudholm | yeah |
06:54.31 | linagee | which is 2400VA too... heh |
06:54.31 | rudholm | well, per circuit |
06:54.31 | linagee | JT: 15A breaker is all that's guaranteed |
06:54.31 | rudholm | so you wouldn't want to pull 20 from each |
06:54.32 | linagee | JT: there could be more, but you wouldn't know it |
06:54.32 | rudholm | outlet |
06:54.32 | *** join/#asterisk adorah (n=Michael@87.69.57.73.cable.012.net.il) |
06:54.32 | linagee | JT: or maybe the breaker will go off at 25 amps and you could pull 20 amps |
06:54.32 | rudholm | my breakers aren't 15A, they're 20A |
06:54.32 | JT | linagee: well on our normal circuits you can pull up to 3840VA |
06:54.33 | rudholm | but my service is also 240, which is typical for US homes |
06:54.33 | linagee | rudholm: it would depend on how good your wiring is. :) |
06:55.36 | JT | 2400VA was the 10A socket max |
06:55.37 | rudholm | 240V, three-phase |
06:55.37 | linagee | JT: 3840 / 700 = ? |
06:55.37 | JT | in reality, equipment can draw more |
06:55.37 | JT | 240 * 16 |
06:55.37 | linagee | 5.5 |
06:55.38 | linagee | you could charge the bike in about an hour instead of six. :) |
06:55.38 | linagee | that's about 2 minutes per 1 mile. :) |
06:55.38 | linagee | not bad |
06:55.51 | JT | is it a 12v battery for your bike? |
06:55.52 | linagee | of course then you'd have to give the batteries extra cooling too while you're charging them as they'd get hotter |
06:56.02 | linagee | JT: 12V in series. 48V charger. |
06:56.06 | JT | heh |
06:56.08 | linagee | 4 batteries |
06:56.19 | linagee | 6 amp 48 volt charger. :) |
06:56.20 | JT | i have a 125A @ 12VDC power supply |
06:56.24 | JT | 100% duty cycle |
06:56.38 | rudholm | JT: that sounds like a welder :) |
06:56.41 | JT | oh i also have a -48VDC telco power supply, 700W iirc |
06:56.47 | JT | rudholm: it's the size of a shoebox :) |
06:56.52 | JT | rudholm: ex cray supercomputer |
06:56.56 | linagee | JT: with a fan i hope? |
06:56.58 | JT | yes |
06:57.01 | linagee | JT: my 6 amp charger has a fan |
06:57.28 | linagee | hrm. a fan is not really needed per say... it really depends on how efficient your charging circuit is. :) |
06:57.49 | JT | rudholm: my MIG welder puts out 250A @ 60% duty cycle at up to 28VDC i think (the exact voltage isn't that important in welding) |
06:57.59 | JT | that uses a 15A power socket :) |
06:58.05 | JT | as does my air compressor |
06:58.06 | linagee | JT: 28VDC??!?! yikes |
06:58.08 | linagee | JT: FSCK |
06:58.22 | JT | linagee: it has to melt steel, what you you expect :P |
06:58.28 | JT | it can weld thick plate steel |
06:58.31 | rudholm | a lot of them are even lower, like down in the single digits V |
06:58.34 | linagee | JT: i've measured 55VDC from the battery packs before. (of course it's more than 48V from the floating voltage) |
06:58.51 | linagee | JT: imagine if i accidentally shorted my meter leads when i was measuring the voltage?!?!?! FSCK!! |
06:58.57 | linagee | JT: they would have welded??? |
06:58.59 | linagee | lol |
06:59.00 | linagee | yikes |
06:59.16 | JT | linagee: well the welder can pull over 5kW instantaneously from the mains |
06:59.26 | linagee | JT: there's a 60A breaker on the bike itself |
06:59.34 | linagee | JT: i'm not sure if it's before or after the charging socket. heh. |
06:59.46 | JT | it often draws more than 15A @ 240V |
07:00.14 | linagee | JT: batteries could probably source a whole head of current if they were directly shorted. yikes |
07:00.25 | JT | linagee: with regards to your leads, the correct word is "vapourised" |
07:00.26 | linagee | s/head/heap/ |
07:00.40 | linagee | JT: me or the leads? :-/ |
07:00.48 | linagee | JT: i bet it would melt in my hand |
07:00.53 | JT | linagee: yes, telco bus bars can supply instantaneous currents of over 10000A @ -48VDC if shorted |
07:01.06 | linagee | JT: lick it. lol |
07:01.10 | JT | linagee: the metal components of normal multimeter leads would be instantly turned into vapour |
07:01.22 | linagee | JT: wtf? |
07:01.48 | JT | linagee: telco bus bars can vapourise 12" shifter handles in a fraction of a second |
07:02.00 | linagee | shifter handle? |

07:03.46 | linagee | JT: for cigarette lighter appliances |

07:05.03 | linagee | JT: right, but if you had digital signaling to every handset, it would need much less power, right? |
07:05.18 | JT | linagee: yes, it would use less, somewhat |
07:05.22 | JT | but a LOT of stuff uses power |
07:05.28 | linagee | like what? |

07:07.00 | JT | linagee: yes but the power is often used |
07:07.14 | JT | apparently terminating hundreds of thousands of circuits and switching them uses power |

07:31.53 | linagee | JT: there's more than one fiber in there, right? heh |
07:32.02 | JT | linagee: each fibre has their own |
07:32.02 | linagee | JT: so there like, dozens and dozens of these "optical pumps"? heh |
07:32.06 | linagee | yikes |
07:32.11 | JT | linagee: southern cross has 3 fibre pairs in each cable |
07:32.14 | linagee | JT: all on one easy to deploy unit. heh |
07:32.17 | JT | 6 fibres |
07:32.55 | linagee | JT: 6 fibers lit, you mean? :) |
07:33.06 | linagee | JT: they might have 100 fibers in there, but they're all dark fiber. :) |
07:33.07 | JT | total i think |
07:33.12 | JT | probably not |
07:33.16 | JT | not for undersea stuff |
07:33.20 | linagee | waiting for someone to pay megabucks to have them lit |
07:33.22 | JT | you just need a few that work |
07:33.44 | JT | there could be spares, i have no idea |
07:34.09 | JT | but they'd all need amps |
07:34.15 | JT | at every station |
07:34.34 | linagee | JT: unless they just have someone go to each station and change things around. :) |
07:34.43 | JT | uneconomical |
07:34.46 | linagee | JT: it would be costly, but cheaper than buying/deploying a whole new cable |
07:34.52 | JT | doubt it |
07:35.05 | JT | labour is what costs |
07:35.05 | linagee | JT: not really. just untrench a section at a time, then redrop it. you could move along the cable and do this, even. :) |
07:35.30 | linagee | JT: 500 repeaters is not that much. :) |
07:35.37 | JT | yes really, the cost would be very similar to install a new cable |
07:35.39 | linagee | (four hundred whatever) |
07:35.49 | JT | we have other submarine bandwidth anyway |
07:35.58 | linagee | right, but the cable itself costs a lot too |
07:36.02 | JT | 640Gbit/s to Japan |
07:36.07 | JT | upgradeable |
07:36.29 | JT | few hundred Gbit/s to mayalsia/singapore europe |
07:36.44 | JT | and satellites of course |
07:36.44 | linagee | JT: that must be a pretty weird agreement for intercontinental links. heh |
07:36.48 | linagee | JT: who pays who. :) |
07:37.02 | JT | linagee: a company usually owns the cable |
07:37.06 | JT | people who use it pay |
07:37.09 | JT | or have shares in it |
07:37.30 | linagee | hmm |
07:37.53 | JT | i've seen the cable termination building for the AJC (Australia Japan Cable) |
07:38.05 | JT | it's only an inch thick, the feeder that reaches the building |
07:38.14 | JT | couple of racks of dwdm gear |
07:38.34 | JT | of course, the other landing point for AJC was about 20km further down the coast in sydney |
07:38.49 | linagee | hmm |
07:38.54 | linagee | for the other ring? |
07:39.03 | linagee | er, the failover? heh |
07:39.05 | JT | yeah, they land on the other side of the city |
07:39.07 | JT | different beach |
07:39.08 | JT | yeah |
07:39.39 | linagee | JT: is there fiber that runs through australia as well? |
07:39.48 | JT | of course |
07:39.54 | linagee | JT: and it runs along highways? heh |
07:39.56 | JT | there are lots of fibre networks on land |
07:40.00 | JT | not sure exactly where |
07:40.04 | JT | i assume a lot does |
07:40.09 | linagee | JT: that's mainly how they do it here |
07:40.15 | linagee | JT: follows interstate freeways. heh |
07:40.16 | JT | but that stuff is nowhere near as high profile as submarine cables |
07:40.25 | JT | lots of telcos have interstate fibre |
07:40.27 | linagee | JT: makes it easier to deploy, easier to maintain, etc. |
07:40.36 | JT | probably only the big ones own their own fibre though |
07:40.48 | JT | because our state capitals are so far apart |
07:41.02 | JT | i've heard one telco here uses shipping containers for regeneration stations :) |
07:41.12 | linagee | regeneration?? |
07:41.17 | linagee | is that some sort of alien technology? |
07:41.32 | JT | i discussed this earlier, converting the light signals back into electrical and retiming them |
07:41.38 | linagee | hmm |
07:41.50 | JT | and amplification |
07:42.43 | linagee | so if the submarine cable got "tugged at" really hard, the shipping container would be pulled into the ocean? heh |
07:42.55 | JT | no, this is for interstate links |
07:42.59 | linagee | oh |
07:43.11 | JT | the undersea ones land in telco facilities at each side |
07:43.37 | linagee | i bet they have slack at each side or something |
07:43.44 | linagee | just in case the cable gets snagged. lol |
07:43.45 | JT | i'm sure they do |

07:46.13 | linagee | (a lot of mouthes to feed) |
07:46.55 | JT | yes, the ships are pretty big |

07:47.10 | linagee | JT: ever seen this? :) http://www.wdmblog.com/ |
07:47.51 | linagee | columbia to florida? what are they going to send drugs by optical fiber now or something? hah |
07:49.44 | linagee | "Huawei’s … network solutions enable Hibernia’s system to grow to 80 wavelengths at 10 Gigabits" |
07:49.51 | linagee | huh? do they just stack new wavelengths on or something? |
07:50.06 | linagee | they make it seem so easy. heh |
07:51.03 | JT | that's exactly what they do |
07:51.08 | JT | they're just different frequencies |
07:51.40 | linagee | JT: and each new frequency is handled by a new module or something? heh |
07:53.12 | JT | it's just a couple of Y splitters and a bragg grating |
07:53.21 | linagee | JT: i don't get that |
07:53.26 | linagee | JT: can they just keep stackng? heh |
07:53.35 | linagee | JT: or will they hit some stacking roof? heh |
07:53.41 | linagee | i mean ceiling |
07:55.10 | JT | it mainly depends on the type of fibre in use, the selectivity of the bragg gratings, and making sure there's no crosstalk |
07:55.30 | linagee | hmm |
07:56.55 | linagee | JT: is DWDM used just for submarine cables, or land based too? |
07:57.20 | JT | land too |
07:57.25 | JT | depends on the company |
07:57.30 | linagee | makes sense... |
07:57.40 | linagee | so they just add in more and more modules and get more and more speed. hahaha |
07:58.04 | JT | yes, as long as they do it at the endpoints, and any regeneration stations |
07:58.38 | linagee | JT: of course |
07:58.46 | linagee | JT: thats what technicians are for. heh |
07:58.53 | linagee | JT: "ok everyone. add it.... NOW!" heh. :) |
07:59.39 | linagee | JT: "alright. now you can play quake and counterstrike faster than ever with even lower lag" LOL |
08:00.01 | linagee | or, "insert new hip game here" |
08:01.33 | JT | the lag would hardly change |
08:01.49 | JT | that depends more on how well the endpoint gear was built :) |
08:02.20 | linagee | lol. nice. "a recent Environment Canada study found no statistical difference between the greenhouse gas emissions of regular unleaded fuel and 10 per cent ethanol-blended fuel" |
08:02.48 | linagee | JT: they make you buy 10% ethanol in your fuel here |
08:02.55 | JT | ok |
08:03.04 | linagee | because someone thought it was a good idea |
08:03.33 | JT | fuel is shit in north america, you could do with some ethanol |
08:04.09 | linagee | JT: personally, i say we should be using 100% ethanol. starve out those foreign oil providers. heh |
08:04.17 | JT | hweh |
08:04.49 | linagee | JT: then maybe we'd be like, "oh wait, why are we in iraq if we don't need oil anymore" |
08:04.55 | linagee | lol |
08:05.04 | JT | as if you'll be able to get that volume |
08:05.15 | linagee | oh i mean. that's not why we're in iraq. lol. no, of course not. hahahah |
08:05.21 | JT | ethanol is a little bit of a false economy here, probably there too |
08:05.24 | linagee | </sarcasm> |

If the user gets to 75% several times a month they know to call and sell some more call paths |

17:22.09 | teknoprep | why avoid the term trunk? |
17:22.36 | teknoprep | isn't a trunk a connection to an extension or did external to the PBX itself? |

18:36.46 | Mercestes | Both Telcos are Net Masters, I am CPE on both. On Digium I get HDLC Aborts out my arse and on Sangoma I get "Span X is up." |
18:37.54 | Mercestes | I have a hell of a time getting timing up when I restart them, I get no audio on the Sangoma for awhile and eventually through restarting it and doin ga few monitors get it going without changing the config files, just, can't get good PRI timing on it. |

18:38.37 | Mercestes | not long ago my RAID hosed. I'm thinking, A: This all in one wonder card can't handle 3 PRI links (I'm Net Master to a Brooktrout fax card with 4 trunks) and B: having multiple clock masters on the same card is screwing me. |

18:43.07 | Mercestes | as I recall, Sangoma did not give me better results on the loopback test |
18:43.27 | Mercestes | and if I unplug the PRI and plug it back in on the Sangoma it hoses the timing. |

19:44.19 | [TK]D-Fender | jkiff: I have yet to see a quality way that Grandstream beats Polycom for anything (discounting price). As for for the reboot time, its 2 minutes and as they don't crash you typically only need to do it when you actually need to change something. |

20:33.22 | Langenscheidts | BTW, does someone know why must canreinvite=no? Is it because RTP packets contain private addresses? |
20:35.28 | casimir | Langenscheidts, as far as I know that's why, and RTP packets from outside a nat device will have the external IP, unless it's sip-aware, the firewall will be stumped |
20:36.23 | casimir | Langenscheidts, if your nat device tracks sip connections or acts as a sip proxy, it's not an issue, but it's easier to let * handle nat |
20:36.41 | Langenscheidts | OK, makes sense. So either use canreinvite=no to have Asterisk do this, use an SIP-capable NAT router, or move * in front of the router |

21:08.04 | joey[] | well, I'm trying to do one 'simple' thing. I have some monitoring application which has notification feature. I wish to use that notification feature to call python application which will use asterisk to make a phone call. |
21:08.12 | joey[] | how hard that should be? (making python app that will use asterisk to make a phone call) |
21:08.23 | joey[] | maybe using py-Asterisk? |

21:09.52 | Strom_M | because you can just use STDIN and STDOUT |
21:10.08 | TaSo | ah |
21:10.17 | TaSo | can you use pipes to Asterisk? |
21:10.33 | Strom_M | it's easier to use the AMI port |
21:10.37 | TaSo | okay great |

23:13.19 | JT | sky_net: in both directions? |
23:13.50 | sky_net | it seems like ilbc sounded ok on this end at least (with about a 2% packet loss from my cable connection... pbx is on the 4meg u/d) |
23:13.52 | ardor | JT: i was wondering, is there a way to do voicemail without using the voicemail.conf file. |
23:13.52 | aptura | ulaw is okay |

23:24.00 | sky_net | bkw_ right... |
23:24.09 | bkw_ | it could be anything really |
23:24.17 | bkw_ | chances are timestamp issues |
23:24.22 | bkw_ | or the clock drifts |
23:24.25 | sky_net | i got rid of any codec conversion... |
23:24.36 | bkw_ | what version? |
23:24.37 | bkw_ | 1.4? |
23:24.38 | sky_net | so if ntp is running i should be ok? |

23:31.19 | bkw_ | and you need to do 10+ at the same time to make it worth while |
23:31.22 | sky_net | trunking is what i need |
23:31.30 | bkw_ | no you don't |
23:31.37 | bkw_ | unless you're doing tons of calls you don't save jack |
23:31.58 | aptura | intel is in the plans to design multi hundred cord cpus. |
23:32.05 | aptura | pretty insane. |
23:32.06 | bkw_ | aptura, but that doesn't matter |
23:32.14 | bkw_ | it works for highly threaded applications |
23:32.16 | sky_net | i need to do tons of calls asterisk box is going to be a quad proc/16gigs o ram |
23:32.29 | bkw_ | sky_net, i'm telling you.. YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT NUMBER |
23:32.43 | bkw_ | no matter how much ram you throw at it |
23:32.47 | bkw_ | you crack me up |
23:32.48 | sky_net | so what do i use? |
23:33.06 | sky_net | multiple servers? |
23:36.44 | Waverly360 | sky_net: You could use multiple servers. |
23:36.45 | *** part/#asterisk UCFmethod (n=UCFmetho@office.eyestreet.com) |
23:37.15 | Waverly360 | sky_net: It may make working with queues, conference rooms and such, a pain to use. |
23:38.45 | bkw_ | or one FreeSWITCH box |
23:38.53 | bkw_ | use Asterisk for VM and apps |
23:39.06 | bkw_ | FreeSWITCH for heavy lifting.. and OpenSER for registrations |
23:39.09 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Freeswitch isn't ready for that yet is it? |
23:39.16 | bkw_ | Waverly360, yes I use it right now |
23:39.26 | JT | it's silly to put 1000 calls on one box with no backup or load balancing anyway |
23:39.30 | JT | if it dies for some reason |
23:39.32 | JT | bye $$$ |
23:39.36 | bkw_ | JT well the idea is not to crash |
23:39.40 | bkw_ | FreeSWITCH has crash protection |
23:39.47 | mishehu | yo bandanaman |
23:39.51 | Waverly360 | bkw_: I may have to start moving in that direction. |
23:39.54 | JT | yeah, even telcos aren't that insane, they have backups :) |
23:39.54 | bkw_ | one badly misbehaved thread doesn't bring the switch down |
23:40.03 | Waverly360 | mishehu: Hah! Hey, what's up man? |
23:40.06 | JunK-Y | JT: needs are present for some companies. so thats not stupid. |
23:40.24 | bkw_ | JT, if you want reliability like that they make linux hardware that is fully redundant |
23:40.25 | mishehu | Waverly360: been too busy with IT clients, it's cut down on my dev time, but still attempting to dev for the FS |
23:40.29 | bkw_ | that you can run fs on |
23:40.33 | JT | bkw_: even if freeswitch is super stable, you need to run it on a lockstep machine if you're only relying on the single machine, and it's an important application |
23:40.34 | Waverly360 | bkw_: But with asterisk still being your connection to PSTN and applications, asterisk can still die preventing you from making calls. |
23:40.42 | mishehu | Waverly360: you coming in for cluecon? |
23:40.49 | Waverly360 | mishehu: Indeed I am. |
23:40.50 | bkw_ | Waverly360, I don't use asterisk for PSTN |
23:40.51 | bkw_ | I use FS |
23:40.53 | JT | JunK-Y: handling 1000 calls is one thing, doing so with no backup is another |
23:40.54 | bkw_ | and sangoma cards |
23:41.18 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Oh, last time I checked there wasn't any PSTN support for Freeswitch..I guess it's been awhile. |
23:41.21 | mishehu | I still need to get me one of those sanny gomez cards |
23:41.32 | bkw_ | Waverly360, its been there for ages |
23:41.34 | bkw_ | :P |
23:41.34 | Waverly360 | mishehu: That's what we use. |
23:41.40 | JunK-Y | even dealing 100 sim calls w/out backups is stupid. |
23:41.40 | mishehu | Waverly360: it's been a while indeed. you've been hiding I see. loooooong time. |
23:42.01 | JT | JunK-Y: modern hardware can easily handle 1000calls if setup right, but that wasn't my point :) |
23:42.02 | *** join/#asterisk jkif1 (n=jkiffmey@unaffiliated/vorondil) |
23:42.04 | JT | JunK-Y: right |
23:42.05 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Well..come to think of it, it's been a LONG time since I've actually looked at freeswitch. |
23:42.20 | bkw_ | its getting close to its first beta release |
23:42.25 | bkw_ | we are in a bug fix phase right now |
23:42.51 | Waverly360 | mishehu: Yeah, I've been busting ass at work, trying to make sure customers are happy. |
23:43.05 | bkw_ | people seem to think fs is here to replace asterisk and that isn't the case |
23:43.07 | mishehu | Waverly360: I'm hoping that at this year's cluecon I can re-design mod_cdr a bit, remove some of the serialization. |
23:43.11 | bkw_ | the two work together quite well |
23:43.37 | JT | bkw_: so... T.38? :) |
23:43.43 | mishehu | Waverly360: Rule #1: Customers will never be happy. Rule #2: If customers are happy, they lied. See rule #1 ;-) |
23:43.43 | bkw_ | JT coming soon.. |
23:43.51 | bkw_ | we have an interface to spandsp over a socket right now |
23:43.51 | JT | that's what they all say :D |
23:43.51 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Well, maybe if you have a chance, we can chat sometime about that. I'd always hoped I could move our stuff from asterisk to freeswitch, even if it's one piece at a time. |
23:43.52 | bkw_ | works great |
23:44.04 | bkw_ | JT coppice hangs out in our channel and gave us a copy of his UDPTL code |
23:44.07 | mishehu | asterisk makes a decent pbx, fs makes a great switch. |
23:44.08 | JT | will there be a native solution? |
23:44.09 | bkw_ | so its getting there |
23:44.13 | JT | ok |
23:44.14 | bkw_ | JT yes |
23:44.15 | Waverly360 | mishehu: Well, that's true, but customer's should be 'not screaming' because their phone system crashed. |
23:44.21 | mishehu | Waverly360 |
23:44.26 | bkw_ | heck it took one day to get a jitter buffer that works |
23:44.26 | JT | well it sounds like steve's code :P |
23:44.27 | mishehu | Waverly360: true that... |
23:44.31 | bkw_ | we wrote it from scratch |
23:44.34 | bkw_ | well anthm did |
23:44.42 | bkw_ | kicks arse |
23:44.50 | mishehu | bkw_: I didn't look at the code, did we use those bucket thingies in apr-util for that? |
23:45.00 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Were you at Cluecon last year? I think I may have met you. |
23:45.04 | bkw_ | mishehu, don't think so |
23:45.07 | bkw_ | Waverly360, yes |
23:45.09 | JT | so for now, cw is the only thing that does t.38 endpoint, right? |
23:45.11 | mishehu | Waverly360: you met bkw_. everybody did! |
23:45.22 | bkw_ | Waverly360, I'm the one that does most of the planning for cluecon |
23:45.23 | Waverly360 | bkw_: I have a hard time rememebering names and faces..seriously..it's been a LONG year. |
23:45.25 | bkw_ | so I was surely there |
23:45.36 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Hah..sorry. I have a broken brain. |
23:45.43 | bkw_ | I'm the guy that does this schedule and such also :P |
23:45.52 | bkw_ | hehe |
23:46.22 | Waverly360 | bkw_: I haven't gotten my reservation and such setup yet..I'm gonna try and do that this week. pdt won't be making it this year I don't think. |
23:46.37 | bkw_ | Waverly360, ah ok go smack him for me |
23:46.49 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Well, I would, but he doesn't work here anymore. He quit. |
23:46.55 | bkw_ | ah yes |
23:47.10 | Waverly360 | bkw_: It's just me. :P |
23:47.11 | bkw_ | I'm the one that sat in the bar with Kevin Lenzo and fixed Festival to compile on mac OS X |
23:47.23 | bkw_ | I also learned how to build voices with festival |
23:47.29 | bkw_ | I did the talking clock with my voice :P |
23:48.17 | Waverly360 | bkw_: I apologize for the poor memory. pdt was the one who hung out with you guys mostly. I couldn't keep up with him at the time. I was just a perl developer who dabbled in asterisk. |

23:48.45 | bkw_ | Waverly360, well when you get ready to signup for cluecon call the number.. i'm the guy that answers the phone :P |
23:49.32 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Will do. I wouldn't mind seriously looking into moving a lot of our product to FreeSwitch. |
23:49.56 | bkw_ | Waverly360, you trying to get me shot or something :P |
23:50.26 | Waverly360 | bkw_: Nah. Asterisk is great. It's done a helluva job, and still is. |
23:50.56 | Waverly360 | bkw_: I just know we need more stability, and not many can argue that asterisk has it's issues. |
23:51.41 | JT | as far as i'm concerned |
23:52.06 | JT | something that ALL open source telephony projects need to work on perfecting in the near term are: T.38 and H.323 support |
23:52.21 | JT | these are major limitations |
23:52.22 | bkw_ | JT yes I can agree on that |
23:52.30 | bkw_ | we don't do h323 yet |
23:52.35 | bkw_ | only via woomera |
23:52.43 | JT | SS7 would be nice, but really is niche and needs certifying anyway |
23:52.43 | bkw_ | the new woomera can speak sip, iax and h323 |
23:52.44 | JT | hmm |
23:53.28 | JT | also better integration with messaging like SMS would be good |
23:53.37 | bkw_ | well I have that on my list |
23:53.42 | Waverly360 | So h323 is an alternative to voip? What are the advantages over SIP? |
23:53.51 | JT | there is very little open source sms stuff that can act as a gateway/app server |
23:53.53 | bkw_ | h323 is yet another voip protocol |
23:54.03 | Waverly360 | crap..I meant sip |
23:54.05 | Waverly360 | not voip :P |
23:54.07 | bkw_ | sms needs ss7 really |
23:54.07 | JT | Waverly360: H.323 is the ITU voip standard |
23:54.18 | JT | it's been around longer than SIP |
23:54.33 | Waverly360 | Oh, I see. |
23:54.44 | JT | telcos use it mainly |
23:54.51 | Waverly360 | and the t.38 stuff would make faxing over voip easier? |
23:54.56 | bkw_ | yes |
23:54.57 | JT | it makes it work |
23:54.58 | Waverly360 | or..more reliable maybe? |
23:55.01 | bkw_ | yes |
23:55.02 | JT | not just easier |
23:55.15 | JT | you're not meant to fax over voip codecs, ever :P |

23:56.29 | bkw_ | 300-2400 bps over a 711 should work |
23:56.35 | bkw_ | but why are you using cc over dialup anyway? |
23:56.43 | bkw_ | got internet use that.. no need for dialup.. you got DSL |
