08:33.16Comm-techthere may be a 'nix/FOSS event happening in Brixton 24th April (Saturday) seeking interested parties to help with it....
08:33.48antiphaseMy stab vest is away at the menders
08:39.39halithe Red Hat event in Chelsea seems ok
08:39.49halino stab vest required
08:52.30gmarkallComm-tech: What sort of help is required?
09:09.42Comm-techSUPERVISING WORKSTATIONS (oops) and promoting open source / 'nix - my outfit are laying on boxen for 4-6 stations and there are others doing targetted workshops
09:11.23Comm-techanyone who does help out will get a discounted opportunity to purchase the boxen - so it need not require total altruism
09:12.05Comm-techand we aim to be offering the boxen at more or less cost price to start with (sundry refurbs - so we're talking £50 mark)
09:14.06DiscordianUKSounds like something worth supporting though alas I'm not in London or even close
09:17.08AndyMillarantiphase: mine's in the cupboard, and it still fits
09:33.30gmarkallIt sounds interesting - can I get back to you by tomorrow about helping out?
09:34.13ChoHagDespite $isp hiccuping this morning, I'm pleased to say that all my spam has safely made it through.

09:58.44Comm-techgetting back anytime this week will work I expect - it is likely to be a little last minute I think
10:00.24Comm-techI just wanted to get around a few channels/fora and spread the word a bit - incidentally if anyone knows fora other than justlinux / linuxquestions / urdban75 which may be relevant do feel free to share
10:08.21gmarkallIf you have some more details I could maybe post them on to the imperial college LUG mailing list
10:12.10Comm-techdetails I am short of - although we're a big part of the event not the instigators (mainly laying on boxen) - email and link coming up for the people behind it though

10:13.18Comm-techhttp://spacemakers.org.uk/2010/03/more-ways-to-get-involved-at-brixton-village/
10:13.43Comm-techalso our site is http://comm-tech.org
10:14.02Comm-techif you contact them mention you heard of it from Paul at comm-tech
10:14.35Comm-techand that blog link or our site should be where it does get publicised when it firms up
10:17.38ChoHagFailure is not an option.  It comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
10:31.33gmarkallOK - I'll keep an eye on those sites. I've sent Peter Gravell an email too.

11:30.57cityLightshi all
11:31.20cityLightsI am trying to write a data logger using python
11:32.24cityLightscan I do this bit better: http://pastebin.com/bpRZQv3H
11:37.09cityLightswhat is the right way to parse strings of 50 chars sampled every 5 min? convert them to string and parse it - or string manipulate it?
11:41.49ChoHagIn perl I'd just do join ('', serial_device.readlines())
11:41.57ChoHagWell, actually it'd be $serial_device->readlines()
11:42.15ChoHagSo if the function returns a list, and python has the join command, I suspect you can do the same.
11:47.52cityLightsright , same answer came from #python at the same time :-)
11:48.11cityLightsso you pull this data then parse it?
11:48.22ChoHagshrugs
11:48.25ChoHagI don't know what the data is.
11:49.24cityLightsdata is 9 lafa numeric values
11:49.35cityLightss/lafa/alfa
11:49.44ChoHagalpha
11:53.11cityLightsright - sorry

16:09.24z00daxAndyMillar: i think that bash bit is just going to pause for 5 sec after every line
16:09.34z00daxnot create a 5 sec gap between in and out
16:10.07wethrinwhat you want is a delay-device
16:10.45AndyMillarhmm
16:12.21AndyMillarz00dax: fixed

16:22.03z00daxor s/ddos/dos/
16:26.27AndyMillarmeh, it's about 10 lines of C to do it properly
16:27.00wethrinbut that's not shell
16:27.02wethrinso not worth doign
16:27.15AndyMillartrue
16:27.55z00daxdepends on what all one is allowed to use :) can do a memcache feed and read thread!
16:28.12z00daxapart from memcache the actual script will be all bash
