| 02:30.36 | brlcad | pretty incredible |
| 02:31.46 | dtidrow | why is that? |
| 02:32.47 | brlcad | the announcement about lilo |
| 02:33.10 | brlcad | worked with him quite a bit over the years |
| 02:33.19 | dtidrow | ah |
| 02:33.42 | dtidrow | kinda reminds me of when Mike passed away |
| 02:33.56 | brlcad | extensive discussions about the pdpc, cloaks, the network, etc |
| 02:34.28 | brlcad | yeah, kinda if only because of the unexpected nature |
| 02:34.40 | dtidrow | inded |
| 02:35.13 | brlcad | though not in the least bit the same personalities, talent, etc |
| 02:35.47 | brlcad | still a sad occurance |
| 02:36.54 | brlcad | i think Freenode's done more in support of open source than anything else, fostering development and communications |
| 02:37.25 | PrezKennedy | im using my mod points to put the smackdown on some jackasses commenting about it on slashdot |
| 02:38.11 | PrezKennedy | im so apathetic about them... im like... eh ive got mod points... now i have to find something to mod |
| 03:30.24 | Maloeran | Amazing, they got both power outlets and wireless access at the Las Vegas airport |
| 03:31.24 | Maloeran | A fairly strange place too. |
| 03:34.08 | Maloeran | What happened to lilo? googling |
| 03:36.52 | Maloeran | Woah! Okay, I just noticed the messages about lilo |
| 03:42.08 | Twingy | silly people not wearing their helmets |
| 03:44.55 | Maloeran | It really depends where you ride... but I can't imagine Huston, Texas to be very friendly to bicycles |
| 03:47.13 | Twingy | I am really leaning toward an electric bike |
| 03:47.27 | Twingy | will be more than a year before I can afford though |
| 03:48.21 | Maloeran | Oh? Well, you could begin with a standard bicycle |
| 03:48.53 | Maloeran | Even if it's just to replace your runs at first, I think it might be more pleasant |
| 03:49.30 | Maloeran | And you'll be able to join Lee on his saturday morning rides :} |
| 03:55.05 | Twingy | what do you think the probability of me choosing to spend my time riding with Lee on saturday mornings is :) |
| 03:57.00 | Maloeran | Who knows, you might fall in love with bicycle riding once you try and reject all your previous hobbies :) |
| 03:58.23 | Twingy | ...and I might also discover how to put a rocket in space with a table spoon of sugar |
| 03:58.55 | dtidrow | well, with the right mix of potassium perchlorate..... ;-) |
| 03:59.19 | Twingy | btw, I used to ride my bike 7 miles back and forth to work for a couple years |
| 04:00.33 | Maloeran | Oh, good |
| 04:01.42 | Twingy | 15 - 17 before I got a suzuki |
| 04:02.50 | Maloeran | The battery on my laptop seems quite poor. It might be related to the acpi governor apparently not working so the frequency remains at 1.8ghz |
| 04:03.14 | Maloeran | Any suggestion on some kind of battery I could carry in my back pack, for hours of use? :) Even if it must weight 10kg |
| 04:04.26 | Maloeran | At the moment, I can get a whole 75 minutes or so |
| 04:04.30 | Twingy | COTS or custom? |
| 04:05.05 | Twingy | what's the voltage of your battery |
| 04:05.23 | Maloeran | COTS? |
| 04:05.28 | Twingy | commercial off the shelf |
| 04:05.37 | Maloeran | 14400mV |
| 04:05.44 | Maloeran | 2000mAh design capacity |
| 04:05.46 | Twingy | 14.4V |
| 04:05.51 | Twingy | 2Ah |
| 04:05.56 | Twingy | what about the DC input |
| 04:06.01 | Twingy | (charger) |
| 04:06.03 | Maloeran | Already down to 1853mAh maximum after two full discharges |
| 04:06.24 | Twingy | what's the specs on the charger |
| 04:06.34 | Twingy | 18V @ 3A? |
| 04:06.54 | Maloeran | 19V @ 3.4A |
| 04:06.59 | Twingy | k |
| 04:07.58 | Maloeran | A big heavy battery in the back pack to last 10 hours would be great |
| 04:08.03 | Twingy | http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=986 |
| 04:08.18 | Twingy | that'll double your juice |
| 04:09.17 | Twingy | ~1.25kg |
| 04:09.28 | Twingy | 1.5kg |
| 04:09.43 | Maloeran | Interesting |
| 04:09.53 | Twingy | good for 1,000 charges |
| 04:10.10 | Maloeran | Is there anything massive for hours of use without worry? |
| 04:10.10 | Twingy | and cheap |
| 04:10.15 | Twingy | um |
| 04:10.18 | Twingy | let me figure something ou |
| 04:10.50 | Maloeran | Something to plug the laptop in as if it were a power outlet, I am guessing |
| 04:14.10 | Twingy | I could easily make you anything |
| 04:14.20 | Twingy | but nothing I can see off the shelf |
| 04:14.45 | Maloeran | Right, I see. That could be an interesting little project |
| 04:15.08 | Twingy | if you want, paypal me 110% the cost of the materials and shipping and its yours |
| 04:15.17 | Maloeran | Turn my back pack into one massive laptop battery that will prevent me of getting through any airport security |
| 04:15.29 | Twingy | nah |
| 04:16.17 | dtidrow | Maloeran: "Is there anything massive for hours of use without worry?" - probably a small generator would be the best bet |
| 04:16.52 | Maloeran | Generating the electricity from what? I don't see anything else than batteries being practical... |
| 04:18.37 | Twingy | you could go fuel cell, but you'll spend a small fortune |
| 04:18.49 | Twingy | cause the hydrogen generator and compressor aint cheap |
| 04:19.15 | Maloeran | Fuel cells are forbidden on airplanes now |
| 04:19.40 | Twingy | I so go with that kit I just pasted |
| 04:19.42 | Twingy | *say |
| 04:19.44 | Twingy | $50 |
| 04:19.50 | Twingy | and you double your life |
| 04:19.50 | Maloeran | Yes, it's surely an improvement |
| 04:20.02 | Twingy | that's what I would get |
| 04:20.18 | Maloeran | *nods* Thanks for the tip |
| 04:20.39 | Twingy | order two if you want more |
| 04:20.56 | Twingy | you can always wire them in parallel if you have the adapters and heat shrink |
| 04:21.05 | Maloeran | Or just swap once in a while |
| 04:21.11 | Twingy | yep |
| 04:21.21 | Twingy | I mean I can build you one that'll keep it powered for 10 hours |
| 04:21.26 | Twingy | but it'll cost you like $250 |
| 04:21.34 | Twingy | and weigh like 10kg |
| 04:21.37 | Twingy | err 5k |
| 04:21.39 | Twingy | 5kg |
| 04:21.48 | Maloeran | If it goes through airports, that's not too bad |
| 04:22.11 | Twingy | but why not just switch a battery every 90 minutes |
| 04:22.17 | Maloeran | Right. |
| 04:22.22 | Twingy | surely it's not that much of an interruption |
| 04:22.28 | *** join/#brlcad IriX64 (n=IriX64@bas3-sudbury98-1168054869.dsl.bell.ca) |
| 04:22.29 | Twingy | I get up and stretch more often than that |
| 04:23.04 | Twingy | there's always a hand crank that charges a battery |
| 04:23.10 | Maloeran | Argh! *sobs* I don't see how the noise of slot machines is not driving anyone crazy, I'm almost tempted to put up the volume of my Brahms |
| 04:23.18 | dtidrow | or solar cells |
| 04:23.29 | Twingy | solar is not practical |
| 04:23.33 | Twingy | I always bring head phones |
| 04:23.39 | brlcad | heh |
| 04:23.45 | brlcad | Maloeran: in the airport now? |
| 04:23.50 | dtidrow | more than a hand crank |
| 04:23.56 | Maloeran | Yes, waiting 5 hours at Las Vegas |
| 04:24.12 | brlcad | yeesh |
| 04:24.19 | brlcad | have fun |
| 04:24.26 | Twingy | go play some slots :} |
| 04:24.30 | brlcad | heh |
| 04:24.37 | IriX64 | *don't lose :) |
| 04:24.43 | Twingy | see if you can write some code to beat it |
| 04:24.57 | Maloeran | I'm statistically losing, you'll never see me put a quarter in those things :) |
| 04:25.00 | brlcad | or find a hammer to beat it |
| 04:25.22 | Maloeran | The only such game I'll ever play is Poker Texas Hold'em with my AI to.. pretty much decide everything |
| 04:25.26 | Twingy | anything is better than this mostly dead 9.6V |
| 04:25.34 | IriX64 | if you don't play you win :) |
| 04:25.52 | Twingy | if you don't play you don't get free meal comps |
| 04:26.11 | IriX64 | free? |
| 04:26.12 | brlcad | I'm statistically dying, but you don't see me not breathing from time to time ;) |
| 04:27.02 | dtidrow | http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.detail/iid/12728/cid/3399 |
| 04:27.12 | dtidrow | only 50lb ;-) |
| 04:27.42 | Maloeran | <brlcad> I'm statistically dying, but you don't see me not breathing from time to time ;) |
| 04:27.49 | Maloeran | Oops |
| 04:28.07 | Maloeran | Trying to copy/paste urls with that a mousepad, not a pleasant task |
| 04:28.19 | brlcad | dtidrow: that's not a bad price either |
| 04:28.52 | brlcad | Maloeran: well, i think you got the paste part down at least ;) |
| 04:29.12 | dtidrow | brlcad: indeed |
| 04:29.14 | Maloeran | It's curious, it seems to "unlick" after 1 second which gives little time to select anything properly |
| 04:30.01 | dtidrow | brlcad: and only slightly heavier than that alienware 'laptop' I carted around siggraph this year ;-) |
| 04:30.02 | brlcad | i hate it when things unlick |
| 04:30.57 | Maloeran | When are you arriving, Sean, and Erik and Lee if you know? |
| 04:31.24 | dtidrow | you guys all going to a conference? |

| 04:32.00 | Maloeran | Some of us are, yes |
| 04:32.23 | dtidrow | what's the conference? |
| 04:32.52 | Maloeran | Some ray-tracing thing in Salt Lake City for 3 days |
| 04:33.20 | dtidrow | ah, that one - I remember you guys talking about it last month |
| 04:33.27 | dtidrow | have fun :-) |
| 04:33.57 | Twingy | ray-tracing, hah, that'll never catch on |
| 04:34.05 | brlcad | Maloeran: I arrive mid-day |
| 04:34.20 | brlcad | dtidrow: http://www.sci.utah.edu/RT06/index.html |
| 04:34.47 | dtidrow | yeah, I looked at it last time you posted the link :-) |
| 04:34.47 | Maloeran | Nice, better choice than my 2 a.m. local, or 4 am for my biological clock |
| 04:35.23 | brlcad | i'm supposed to wake up in 4 hours for my flight, flying west is always .. a trip |
| 04:36.36 | Maloeran | Neat |
| 04:36.43 | ``Erik | heh |
| 04:37.07 | ``Erik | the rooms have mini-fridges |
| 04:37.26 | Maloeran | When do you arrive, Erik? |
| 04:37.35 | ``Erik | like 5pm mst |
| 04:37.37 | IriX64 | nice page... you people must be excited about it. |
| 04:37.59 | ``Erik | sharing transportation with lee |
| 04:38.05 | Maloeran | Not excited at all, no :), I would rather have stayed home to code |
| 04:38.23 | ``Erik | I might try to get him to stop by a package shop on the way |
| 04:38.40 | IriX64 | Malorean: duty calls thing I assume or "told" to go? |
| 04:38.46 | dtidrow | gotta go check on the baby and get some sleep - 'nite all... |
| 04:38.59 | IriX64 | err spelt it wrong. |
| 04:39.08 | Maloeran | Technically, I could refuse as a consultant I imagine, that didn't seem very polite though |
| 04:39.20 | IriX64 | hah true. |
| 04:40.02 | Twingy | hrm |
| 04:40.10 | Twingy | I want this $110 sliding table for my drill press :| |
| 04:40.19 | Maloeran | Okay, having a walk elsewhere before the slot machine noise destroys what remains of my sanity, see you later or tomorrow |
| 04:40.31 | IriX64 | ciao |
| 04:40.36 | Twingy | you should record some of that :) |
| 04:40.40 | Twingy | you can use it for your alarm clock |

| 20:12.48 | PrezKennedy | does this mean im dead? |
| 20:14.45 | Maloeran | It depends, some of us are also artifical intelligences stuck on pursuing our task of providing social interactions for our lost masters forever |
