| 01:50.40 | MonMotha | prpplague: what's the desoldering gear for? |
| 01:51.17 | prpplague | MonMotha: the units i got have the header via's soldered closed |
| 01:51.45 | prpplague | MonMotha: i needed to remove the solder to insert idc header |
| 01:51.57 | MonMotha | heh, I have just pins :) |
| 01:52.08 | prpplague | MonMotha: i bet your soldering directly and not installing the header |
| 01:52.15 | MonMotha | I'm so cheap I ripped the pins off an old IDC header off a mobo |
| 01:52.24 | MonMotha | no, I have pins, from an old header (so no plastic piece) |
| 01:52.36 | sorphin | got my headers off an old MB |
| 01:52.38 | MonMotha | which means I can put them in one at a time, heating the pre-existing solder to insert the pin |
| 01:53.30 | prpplague | MonMotha: ahh so your doing them one at a time? |
| 01:53.30 | prpplague | i used to be cheap like that, but i figure, my time is better spend learning than salaving parts |
| 01:53.51 | prpplague | MonMotha / sorphin : not to say your time isn't valuable |
| 01:53.54 | MonMotha | prpplague: this literally took me 60 seconds to rip them off |
| 01:54.10 | MonMotha | less time than going to MAI (about a 20min drive, one way) to pick them up |
| 01:54.19 | MonMotha | and cheaper too |
| 01:54.23 | prpplague | lol |
| 01:54.34 | sorphin | yeah |
| 01:54.37 | sorphin | further for me |
| 01:54.40 | MonMotha | heck, I already had my 30W iron plugged in and heated up (I normally use a smaller, grounded tipped 15W) |
| 01:54.48 | prpplague | MonMotha: i took mine out of the cabinet drawer, lol |
| 01:55.00 | MonMotha | I don't have that kind of inventory :) |

| 20:07.13 | sjhill | yum |
| 20:10.38 | Aelhaz | op2? |
| 20:11.23 | kergoth | opieplayer2, a media player for qtopia/opie |
| 20:11.25 | kergoth | ibot: op2 |
| 20:11.25 | | extra, extra, read all about it, op2 is a media player which is currently in beta stage, which will be able to play streaming mp3, ogg, and MPEG4 (DivX/XviD) movies, and other formats. The backend uses the xine libs. search for it in the oz3 feed for install help. ... http://www.adamhooper.com:4242/zaurus/op2_howto.php, or a more recent version of op2 can be found in the official unstable feed of openzaurus |
| 20:11.35 | Aelhaz | sjhill: Timesys called me right after i lost my job at lineo, and gave me a really bad vibe. I wish i hadn't freaked out at them, now, 9 months later, with no freakin job |
| 20:12.08 | Aelhaz | sjhill: it worried me that they contacted me out of the blue and wanted me to produce pay stubs and signed performance evaluations from my former employer |
| 20:12.56 | Aelhaz | and made threatening statements about their intention of double-checking everything i told them |
| 20:13.27 | Aelhaz | the tone of the letter was something along the lines of "Come work for us . . . YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT! no, really." |
| 20:14.36 | sorphin | sjhill: congrats, what's the fiancee think of moving ? |
| 20:17.16 | Aelhaz | I didn't want to move. I had this illusion that I'd be out of work for a couple months and pick up somewhere else in town. |
| 20:17.35 | Aelhaz | 9 months later, I've been interviewed twice. once by a tech support outsourcing firm, who didn't hire me, at $9/hr. |
| 20:17.44 | sorphin | Aelhaz: s/illusion/delusion/ |
| 20:18.23 | Aelhaz | sorphin: eh, same difference |
| 20:20.17 | CosmicPenguin | Aelhaz: sadly, its Utah |
| 20:20.28 | sorphin | CosmicPenguin: utah sucks ;) |
| 20:20.59 | CosmicPenguin | Aelhaz: I don't know a single engineer that has gotten a new job in the valley - even guys with 20 years of experience |
| 20:21.24 | Aelhaz | CosmicPenguin: This afternoon I'm gonna go down to the DishNetwork repair/installation dock in south provo and beg for a job. I hear those guys get $12/hr |
| 20:21.59 | Aelhaz | beats the living shit out of $9/hr so that people can yell at me all day because *they don't understand, and being restricted from telling them what they need to know. |
| 20:22.53 | Aelhaz | my former co-qa-engineer just took a job at a cabinet shop. making cabinets. |
| 20:24.53 | Aelhaz | CosmicPenguin: My brother tells me i could get a job in chicago, but frankly I think he's fulla shit. |
| 20:25.07 | Aelhaz | I check the listings in chicago. I don't see much. |
| 20:29.47 | Aelhaz | that was the other interview i had - he had his company interview me, they hired someone else |
| 20:31.35 | Aelhaz | The first couple rejection letters i got were depressing. I haven't recieved a formal rejection in about 6 weeks. |
| 20:32.23 | TimRiker | Aelhaz: were you looking for me? I'm home now. |
| 20:33.12 | Aelhaz | TimRiker: Oh, yeah, kinda. |
| 20:33.19 | TimRiker | Dan's making cabinets now? |
| 20:33.38 | Aelhaz | TimRiker: Weird thing happened today - Flipdog emailed me a job listing where it said Lineo was looking for a QA engineer, but when i hit the link it said the listing had been deleted |
| 20:34.00 | Aelhaz | I talked to duck already, but he says he doesn't know anything about that, and anyone who would is in austin |
| 20:34.20 | Aelhaz | TimRiker: Yeah, I forget which shop. He just started today |
| 20:35.29 | TimRiker | I don't know anything about that either. at least duck is still on contract with them. I'm done now. |
| 20:35.45 | Aelhaz | Really, they axed you? |
| 20:35.50 | TimRiker | yep. |
| 20:35.53 | Aelhaz | Duck was saying he's not sure he's going to be around much longer |
| 20:36.01 | Aelhaz | said they sent his last project to bejing |
| 20:36.24 | TimRiker | offered me contract but we could not agree on terms. they wanted me to work for less and on short term contracts. |
| 20:36.45 | Aelhaz | and they keep reminding him that they can get five programmers in china for what he costs |
| 20:37.04 | TimRiker | yeah, I get the feeling they want to become a US front for India/China engineering. |
| 20:37.16 | Aelhaz | million monkeys on a million terminals . . . |
| 20:37.52 | TimRiker | someday customers will understand that PS work on Linux is a dead end if it's not integrated with the mainstream kernel. |
| 20:37.55 | Aelhaz | re-reading what flipdog said, there was something about cellular and RF technology |
| 20:38.08 | Aelhaz | so i guess i wouldn't have qualified anyway |
| 20:38.24 | Aelhaz | probably a misprint or something |
| 20:38.25 | TimRiker | you've used cell phones haven't you? ;-) |
| 20:38.37 | Aelhaz | Yeah, and CB radio |
| 20:38.44 | Aelhaz | and 802.11b too |
| 20:38.53 | TimRiker | sounds to me like you might be overqualified. ;-) |
| 20:39.02 | Aelhaz | heh |
| 20:39.10 | sorphin | ibot: cluebat TimRiker |
| 20:39.11 | | ACTION pulls out a ClueBat (tm) and thwaps TimRiker. |
| 20:39.11 | sorphin | :P |
| 20:39.21 | scanline | Ridgerun had a pretty cool product |
| 20:39.26 | Aelhaz | I suspect i didn't get the job doing pre-sales cisco support because I know too much and used to make too much money |
| 20:39.31 | TimRiker | ~fishslap sorphin for getting cocky |
| 20:39.32 | | ACTION slaps sorphin up side the head with a wet fish for getting cocky |
| 20:39.38 | sorphin | TimRiker: getting ? |
| 20:39.39 | Russ|werk | Aelhaz: try the public school district for an IT job |
| 20:39.45 | TimRiker | sorphin: lol |
| 20:39.50 | scanline | architecture to run things on both a CPU and DSP easily, an 'emulator' using UML... |
| 20:40.04 | sorphin | TimRiker: i'm the resident arse, didn't you know? ;) |
| 20:40.05 | Aelhaz | Russ: I've occasionally trolled those listings, haven't found much |
| 20:40.22 | CosmicPenguin | Aelhaz: any netadmin jobs on jobs.utah.gov? |
| 20:40.32 | TimRiker | perhaps ibot needs a sus like his sud? |
| 20:40.35 | TimRiker | ~sud |
| 20:40.35 | | shut up doug |
| 20:40.39 | Aelhaz | Russ: My dad's best friend is the network administrator for the city of orem and i didn't even get a rejection letter when i applied for their assistant admin position, I have no idea how that happened |
| 20:41.06 | TimRiker | call em back and find out. |
| 20:41.17 | Aelhaz | Oh, that was six months ago |
| 20:41.28 | sorphin | TimRiker: got your matrix yet? :-P |
| 20:42.27 | Aelhaz | I feel like my work experience has actually disqualified me for every job in the state |
| 20:43.13 | sorphin | Aelhaz: prolly has ;) |
| 20:43.41 | Aelhaz | It turns out that in order to do tech support nowadays you have to be a complete dumbass |
| 20:43.54 | file[laptop] | did I hear my qualities? |
| 20:44.14 | Aelhaz | they got tired of smartalek geeks letting the cat out of the bag, and they prefer if tech support hands out the marketing-approved answers instead of the real answers |
| 20:44.24 | sorphin | Aelhaz: hence why i won't do tech support :P what i do is already painful enough to my stress level :P |
| 20:44.25 | Aelhaz | so knowing your shit disqualifies you |
| 20:44.28 | Russ|werk | Aelhaz: you might try az, intel has a list of 8 positions available (slight sarcasm) |
| 20:44.38 | TimRiker | sorphin: yes, actually. Have not put it in yet though. |
| 20:44.46 | sorphin | TimRiker: slacker ;) |
| 20:44.57 | Aelhaz | Plus they always ask for my salary history |
| 20:45.13 | Aelhaz | and it probably breaks their little hearts when the notice that i used to make more than the supervisor on the support floor makes |
| 20:45.17 | sorphin | TimRiker: btw.. cp was curious if you worked on that ibm reference PDA at all when you were at lineo |
| 20:45.50 | Aelhaz | with so many programmers out of work, nearly every listing i see for QA requires programming experience |
| 20:45.50 | TimRiker | "ibm reference PDA" ? does not ring a bell. |
| 20:46.06 | Aelhaz | ibm made a ppc pda reference design |
| 20:46.08 | TimRiker | I know some IBM folks are testing the Zaurus which I am familiar with. |
| 20:46.14 | sorphin | TimRiker: <CosmicPenguin> http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS9222005703.html |
| 20:47.05 | TimRiker | 96M flash? |
| 20:47.06 | Aelhaz | It's like Jim Croche said. I got those steadily depressing, low down, mind messing, prolly gonna end up working at the carwash blues. |
| 20:47.21 | sorphin | TimRiker: and an fpga |
| 20:48.53 | TimRiker | software stack includes MontaVista Linux Consumer Electronics Edition, |
| 20:49.44 | sorphin | whatever that is :P |
| 20:54.09 | Aelhaz | o/~ I tried to get myself an executive position, but no matter how smooth i talked, they wouldn't listen to the fact that i was genius, the man said 'we got all that we can use', now I got them steadily depressin, low down, mind messin, workin a the carwash blues o/~ |
| 20:54.34 | Aelhaz | I got it all, except the job at the carwash. damn machines. |
| 20:58.28 | Aelhaz | Well, I'm gonna go take a shower and see if i can talk charlie ergen's local cronies into giving me an installer job. I just hope i don't accidentally spill the beans that i know way more about their technology than they'd prefer i did. |
| 20:59.39 | CosmicPenguin | I wonder if Totally Awesome Computers is hiring? |
| 21:02.16 | TimRiker | that's it, Aelhaz in a TV commercial. ;-) |
