14:19.20Genesisbonjour
14:20.34CosmicPenguinguten tag
14:20.50CosmicPenguin^ 4 classes, and I can speak two words of german
14:23.20sorphinCosmicPenguin: guten morgen
14:23.34GenesisCosmicPenguin : 6 and i can't tell more :)
14:23.50Genesisbitte schon CosmicPenguin :p)
14:24.09sorphinCosmicPenguin: wie gehen Sie heute?
14:24.10sorphinhehe
14:25.42CosmicPenguindanke gut
14:25.56CosmicPenguinun dir?
14:28.58sorphinund dir :)    und ich habe einen crappy Tag bereits.
14:29.04sorphinanyways
14:29.36CosmicPenguinyeah, yeay
14:29.58CosmicPenguinI can't type in english, why would it be different for any other language?
14:30.05sorphin:)
14:32.07sorphinjbevren: well, now i see if FedEx does the right thing despite the memos on the tracking :P
14:36.08prpplaguesorphin: what are you bablying about?
14:37.00CosmicPenguintouche
14:42.02sorphinprpplague: my electrical backpanel for my traffic gear :P
14:42.37sorphinsorry, next time i'll just /msg :P
14:42.39sorphinsheesh
14:47.40prpplagueahh
14:48.38jbevrensorphin is collecting traffic lights
14:48.38jbevrenheh
14:49.10CosmicPenguinIts all part of his plan to start his own country
14:49.50sorphinheh
14:49.55sorphinnot quite
14:50.31CosmicPenguinHe might not have a military or a government or anything
14:50.37CosmicPenguinbut his traffic will be very organized
14:50.40sorphinnah, today, i'd just be happy if someone would put me outta my misery, i would say today can't get any worse, but i'm sure it would just to spite me
14:53.00CosmicPenguinSo, if I wanted to semi-accurately emulate a temp sensor on a mobo, could I set up an event and randomly add or subtract a few degrees every half second or so
14:53.13CosmicPenguinOr would that result in very stupid results?
14:53.46sorphinCosmicPenguin: sadly, i understood you
14:54.04sorphinand that would work
14:54.15sorphintho
14:54.21CosmicPenguinI figure over time it won't drift that much
14:54.24sorphinall the ones i've seen dont' fluctuate that much
14:54.31CosmicPenguinyeah, I know
14:54.31sorphinthe fans are what jump
14:54.41sorphinnod
14:54.53CosmicPenguinbut this is a fake sensor, so if it doesn't move, then people won't think its working... :)
14:55.33CosmicPenguinI thought about actually connecting it to the sensor on my server, but that would proably be overkill
14:55.51CosmicPenguinPlus I think the opteron is probably running a bit hotter then the athlon I'm trying to emulate here
14:56.20sorphini dunno
14:56.38sorphinmy athlon runs pretty damn hot even w/ a decent fan :P
14:56.44sorphinhotter than the P4
14:56.45sorphinheh
14:57.54CosmicPenguinshh!
14:59.06sorphinheh
14:59.16sorphinCosmicPenguin: have them bring an Alchemy ;)
14:59.25sorphinso i can atleast die w/ something cool
15:00.05CosmicPenguinAt least you still believe the Alchemy is cool
15:00.08CosmicPenguinthe deception is half complete
15:00.34sorphinheh
15:03.08vittorioasking again maybe with more luck, does anyone know commercial embedded linux distributions which support RTAI? so far i have found only two: SysGo ELinOS and Koan K-Linux

21:21.31jbevrenuse linux 1 to boot it up w/o password, and change root's bash_profile
21:21.34jbevrenthere's no root pass iirc
21:39.09jbevrengrr
21:39.17jbevrenFC-AL toys are expensive :(
21:50.46sorphinjbevren: yep, and pointless
21:51.08sorphinjbevren: i still have to find a way to power these things when i get home
21:51.35jbevrensorphin: really?
21:51.41jbevrencause I have a 4bay box thats rather fast
21:51.51jbevrenI just have probs in linux (win2k is on the drives in the box)
21:52.09jbevrensorphin: stop on the way home at walmart and get 4 marine batteries lol
21:52.20sorphinheh
21:54.39sorphinjbevren: standard ATX hookup on the MB?
21:55.22jbevrenmb?
21:55.36jbevrenthe 1u kontrons?
21:56.08jbevrenthey get power from the cpci slot
21:58.51sorphinok
21:58.54sorphinthe 48v psu
21:59.02sorphinit's an ATX psu, no?
21:59.10jbevreneh? its a compactpci psu
21:59.29sorphinwell, i guess i won't be using these things for a whiel then
21:59.29jbevrenCPCI has a 'power' slot
21:59.48sorphincuz i'm not stacking marine batteries in my basement
21:59.56jbevrenthere are 48v power sources for $20 on lamebay
22:00.17sorphinor i could just change the psu to a 120v cpci psu
22:00.18sorphinheh
22:00.29jbevrenand rewire the backplane :)
22:00.31jbevrenbut yeah
22:00.35jbevrener
22:00.36sorphinuh
22:00.36jbevrennot backplane
22:00.40jbevrenthe rear bulkhead is set up for 48v
22:00.48jbevrenbut that'd be a simple project to redo
22:00.51sorphinyeah
22:00.54sorphinit's called a dremel
22:00.59sorphin;)
22:01.03jbevrennod. and rip out the 48v input electronics
22:01.07sorphinyep
22:01.15jbevrenI figured I wanted to ups mine, so I went ahead and got a battery equipped 48v source
22:01.22sorphinwell
22:01.26sorphini alreayd have a nice big UPS
22:01.33jbevrennod
22:01.33sorphinthat's backing up the network
22:01.40sorphinso..
22:01.56sorphinanyways
22:01.58jbevrenI dont agree with the 120v -> XXv -> 120v -> XXv ups concept :)
22:02.02jbevrenhuge waste of power :)
22:02.06sorphinhuh?
22:02.09jbevrenok
22:02.12jbevrenyour ups is 120v
22:02.15sorphinyeah
22:02.18jbevrenAC kicks out, so it switches to battery
22:02.21jbevrenupconverts to 120v
22:02.24sorphinright
22:02.30jbevrenyour PC psu.. guess what.. converst back to dc :)
22:02.35sorphinand?
22:02.36jbevrenmost psu's are 20% waste power
22:02.45jbevrenmost upconverters on ups'en are 30-50% waste
22:03.02sorphinjbevren: well, i can't run everything have on 48v :P
22:03.06jbevrensystems designed to run on DC are better, around 15% normally :P
22:03.11sorphinmost of it wont' take a 48v psu
22:03.15jbevrensorphin: heh
22:03.22sorphinplus
22:03.29sorphinas much as i have
22:03.31jbevrenoo
22:03.32jbevrenbeer thirty
22:03.35sorphini'd need 10 batteries
22:03.36sorphin:P
22:03.40jbevren:)
22:03.49sorphinto cover the amperage draw there would be at 48v
22:04.11jbevrenit's surprising how little systems really use, unless you have p4's etc
22:04.11jbevren:)
22:04.13sorphin120v@ draws less from the line than at 48v@
22:04.23jbevrenits the same wattage my friend
22:04.24sorphinjbevren: or an athlon tbird ;)
22:04.29jbevren<PROTECTED>
22:04.31sorphinwattage smattage

22:28.09sorphinjbevren: were some of your ports covered w/ little red covers?
22:28.11jbevrenthe local hardware store sells rails that will work for rack mounting
22:28.14jbevrenI just need to build the frame

22:29.09jbevrenmine was
22:29.24jbevrenthe parallel btw, is not a parallel port for the system
22:29.27sorphini really need a workbench down here

22:30.54jbevrenyeah
22:31.01jbevrenbut it does route
22:31.06sorphincuz routers are natively layer 3 ;)
22:31.08jbevrengive ti an ip and feed it static routes or RIP packets
22:31.13sorphinright
22:31.16sorphina layer 3 switch
22:31.24sorphinanyways
22:31.28sorphini need a damn workbench
