| 21:12:43 | prpplague | well hello there erikm |
| 21:12:48 | erikm | hello prpplague |
| 21:13:02 | prpplague | erikm: what are you upto this fine sunday? |
| 21:13:21 | erikm | reading my lkml backlog :) |
| 21:13:37 | prpplague | lol |
| 21:13:52 | prpplague | i need to read my arm-kernel list |
| 21:14:26 | prpplague | instead i'm playing with making my tuxscreen board into a portable |
| 21:14:56 | prpplague | erikm: heard anything new about production of the ballon boards? |
| 21:15:14 | erikm | I'm thinking about making a masquerading router from my tux :) |
| 21:16:25 | prpplague | erikm: why not buy a snapgear unit? |
| 21:16:47 | erikm | snapgear? |
| 21:17:11 | prpplague | http://www.snapgear.com/ |
| 21:17:30 | prpplague | they are owned by lineo and produce linux based routers for internet and vpn |
| 21:17:40 | prpplague | actually they run uclinux |
| 21:19:31 | erikm | not enough hacking value |
| 21:19:40 | prpplague | lol |
| 21:19:43 | erikm | doing it yourself with a tux is much more fun |
| 21:19:52 | prpplague | erikm: i agree |
| 21:21:14 | prpplague | erikm: well i'm in a holding pattern untill i get some max3232 chips |
| 21:22:14 | prpplague | erikm: any suggestions on a url where i could find some example circuits for lcd bias voltages? |
| 21:22:34 | erikm | no, not really |
| 21:22:50 | erikm | btw, just ask maxim for samples of the max3232. they are usually quite fast |
| 21:23:07 | prpplague | erikm: ya, thats what i was planning to do tomorrow |
| 21:23:26 | prpplague | erikm: you think jdb would give me some help? |
| 21:24:01 | erikm | prpplague: you could try, though he is in the US again, IIRC |
| 21:25:46 | prpplague | erikm: conference/work/pleasure? |
| 21:26:34 | erikm | prpplague: all of them :) |
| 21:27:17 | prpplague | lol |
| 21:57:41 | prpplague | erikm: on the samples from maxim, do you normaly request them online or do you call them? |
| 21:58:03 | erikm | prpplague: we have no choice than to request them online |
| 21:58:09 | prpplague | ahh |
| 21:58:28 | prpplague | erikm: how long does it usually take before you get them? |
| 21:59:07 | erikm | prpplague: one or two weeks or so, IIRC. |
| 21:59:26 | erikm | prpplague: if you live near them, you can also collect them from their office |
| 21:59:36 | erikm | prpplague: (that's what somebody on the LART list told) |
| 21:59:43 | prpplague | erikm: hmm, i think there is a maxim office in dallas |
| 22:11:23 | prpplague | erikm: sample order on the way |
| 22:13:40 | prpplague | erikm: btw, i found a nice max ic for positive lcd bias voltage |
| 22:27:23 | prpplague | head homes for food and beer |
| 22:27:25 | prpplague | bbl |
