| 00:46:31 | MonMotha | well, I ordered my tux |
| 00:46:48 | flypiper | kewl |
| 00:46:55 | MonMotha | yep |
| 00:46:58 | flypiper | that will keep you busy;) |
| 00:47:02 | MonMotha | now I just gotta make sure I don't brick it |
| 00:47:06 | MonMotha | costs me $40 if I do |
| 00:47:24 | flypiper | naw.. relax.. |
| 00:47:51 | MonMotha | well, it's like the ipaq |
| 00:48:00 | MonMotha | the initial load is much more dangerous than updating it |
| 00:48:11 | MonMotha | initial load is done by catting a binary across the serial line :) |
| 00:49:07 | MonMotha | grr...still trying to build this C compiler |
| 00:49:27 | flypiper | well get checked out on it.. then you can help me when I get one :) |
| 00:50:25 | MonMotha | they don't have many left |
| 00:50:43 | MonMotha | if you want to get one within the next two weeks, sometime in the next hour would be a good time to order |
| 00:50:50 | MonMotha | Tim Riker's going to be in india I belive for two weeks |
| 00:51:24 | flypiper | yea.. I have heard that before... I thought about ordering one 8 months ago.. and heard the same story |
| 00:51:58 | flypiper | he is allways gonna be gone someplace for 2 weeks...so order now.:( |
| 00:52:17 | MonMotha | heh "_ |
| 00:52:18 | MonMotha | :) |
| 00:52:27 | MonMotha | I noticed that it was postponed two weeks :) |
| 00:52:35 | MonMotha | but I'd been meaning to get one anyway |
| 00:52:43 | MonMotha | since it has PCMCIA slots I can just stick my NIC in and be on my LAN |
| 00:52:54 | flypiper | I even started to order one..and it went to pay-pal .. and I backed out.. hell If I can't use a credit card..forget it |
| 00:53:48 | MonMotha | well, the entry level (non verified) paypal accounts let you use a credit card |
| 00:54:05 | MonMotha | and paypal does have some arbitration procedures if you get burned (which I think unlikely considering how many people appear to have one) |
| 00:57:33 | flypiper | hope you used it.. you'll be getting more junk from everywhere...:) |
| 00:58:04 | MonMotha | hum? |
| 01:02:10 | flypiper | I went about half way through the paypal crap.. and get about 4 e-mails a day from paypal associates.:( |
| 01:02:29 | MonMotha | heh |
| 01:03:02 | flypiper | sorry.. thats what I get.. good luck |
| 02:11:36 | flypiper | MonMotha: check scap.. I put a pic of my red keyboard in gpe in there:) |
| 02:12:12 | | i guess scap is http://handhelds.org/scap/ or a CGI application now |
| 02:12:12 | MonMotha | ibot scap |
| 02:12:20 | MonMotha | ah, they moved it to hh.org |
| 02:12:39 | flypiper | Indiana REd/white |
| 02:13:12 | MonMotha | yep |
| 02:13:45 | flypiper | easier for an old dude like me to read :-) |
| 02:14:06 | flypiper | you know how to get indy4-scummvm to work? |
| 02:14:38 | flypiper | I installed scummvm.. but it needs some kinda data file? |
| 02:15:22 | MonMotha | never used scummvm |
| 02:15:35 | flypiper | k |
| 02:17:25 | flypiper | I compiled a program for alvise.. on the skiffs ... and he said he was going to sleep....the excitement must have been tooo much for him ..LOL |
| 02:23:12 | flypiper | MonMotha: gotta go to bed.. baled hay yesterday by myself.. and Im beat...talk to ya later |
| 21:31:25 | MonMotha | hello |
| 21:35:14 | flypiper | hey |
| 21:36:24 | MonMotha | you good with electronics? |
| 21:36:27 | MonMotha | you are... |
| 21:38:06 | flypiper | some things |
| 21:38:17 | flypiper | depends on what I gotta do..??? |
| 21:38:27 | MonMotha | just a quick question |
| 21:38:33 | MonMotha | mind if I dcc you something? |
| 21:42:04 | MonMotha | you there>? |
| 21:46:41 | flypiper | yep.. |
| 21:50:24 | MonMotha | never mind on the question, got it answered |
| 21:50:36 | MonMotha | you know a good electronics store near here though? |
| 21:50:41 | MonMotha | RS sucks these days |
| 21:51:13 | flypiper | dunno I have King Electronics down by my office.. they have everything usually |
| 21:51:29 | MonMotha | well, RS should have what I need anymore |
| 21:51:48 | MonMotha | just need 8 100ohm resistors and 3 2.2kohm ones |
| 21:52:22 | MonMotha | a 74HC224 would be useful, but I have a suitable substitute I can rip off an old board someone gave me to cannabilize |
| 21:52:36 | flypiper | Im getting ready to ditch some suff out of my old copy machines.. you should stop by the office and I'll give you some of the boards..ect.. |
| 21:53:01 | flypiper | I am a scrapper.. just in case I might need some of that stuff building a camera or something |
| 21:53:28 | MonMotha | heh |
| 21:53:40 | MonMotha | is building a jtag interface |
| 21:53:46 | MonMotha | pretty simple really |
| 21:53:54 | MonMotha | in fact, if you have a 3.3v pport, you don't even need anything |
| 21:54:02 | MonMotha | just hook the pport up to it and can do it all in software |
| 21:54:25 | flypiper | hey..kewl |
| 21:54:51 | MonMotha | same software should be able to breathe life back into a bricked ipaq too, but I'll let the CRL guys handle that if I manage to screw itu p |
| 21:56:04 | MonMotha | I have all sorts of random chips laying around |
| 21:56:07 | MonMotha | but no buffers |
| 21:56:12 | MonMotha | I've got like 5 op-amps though :) |
| 21:57:20 | flypiper | well you need to meet me at the office some saturday.. and I'll give you some small stuff you could prolly use:) |
| 21:59:04 | flypiper | I have all kinda IBM stuff from my stripped AS400 Mainframe |
| 21:59:10 | MonMotha | maybe I coudl get a new hdd rdropped intoo :) |
| 21:59:14 | MonMotha | stripped AS4000? |
| 21:59:16 | MonMotha | how stripped? :) |
| 21:59:24 | flypiper | I gutted it |
| 21:59:35 | flypiper | might have the main board around someplace |
| 21:59:35 | MonMotha | really needs to learn how to use the spacebar better |
| 21:59:38 | MonMotha | heh |
| 21:59:49 | MonMotha | build your own minicomputer in it :) |
| 22:00:06 | MonMotha | can see huge sheets jsut line with ARM processors :) |
| 22:00:07 | flypiper | if you need a hd for your notebook.. I gotta order it..:) |
| 22:00:08 | MonMotha | massive smp |
| 22:00:18 | MonMotha | oh, I thoguth you had some laying around? |
| 22:00:44 | flypiper | prolly used.. but I wouldn't put a used one in... they are fairly cheap |
| 22:01:05 | MonMotha | it's a P166MMX |
| 22:01:13 | MonMotha | the used HDD is worth more than this thing is |
| 22:01:21 | flypiper | wanna sell it? |
| 22:01:23 | MonMotha | I'll be getting a new one in like 8-12 mo anyway |
| 22:01:33 | MonMotha | how much could I get for it? |
| 22:01:57 | flypiper | dunno.. I'll give ya 100 |
| 22:02:12 | MonMotha | I'll think about it |
| 22:02:17 | flypiper | k |
| 22:02:17 | MonMotha | it was given to me |
| 22:02:25 | MonMotha | so it's not like I'm losing money any way I do it |
| 22:02:26 | flypiper | ahh |
| 22:02:43 | flypiper | sure |
| 22:02:43 | MonMotha | the hdd worked for like a year, then I put win98 back on and it was dead within 6 hours |
| 22:02:59 | flypiper | it would make a nice deb unit |
| 22:03:11 | MonMotha | I had slack on it |
| 22:03:38 | flypiper | deb woody = sweeeet |
| 22:03:47 | MonMotha | seems unstable on my P133 |
| 22:03:52 | MonMotha | apt-get constantly segfaults |
| 22:04:16 | flypiper | got it on my nobolis 500.. it's pretty nice |
| 22:05:18 | MonMotha | can you get to tb.ipv6.btexact.com? |
| 22:05:28 | flypiper | and a 133.. server box in my pool.. works fine |
| 22:05:29 | MonMotha | or tb.ipv6.bt.com |
| 22:05:39 | MonMotha | you have a server in your pool? |
| 22:05:47 | MonMotha | I wouldn't think the water would do good things for it |
| 22:05:52 | flypiper | yea..a couple.. waterproofed |
| 22:05:55 | MonMotha | not to mention electical shock hazards for the swimmers |
| 22:06:08 | flypiper | LOL |
| 22:07:08 | flypiper | need to get big brother monitoring my ipaq server:( |
| 22:11:15 | MonMotha | got any suggestions on desoldering ICs with nothign but an iron? |
| 22:12:06 | flypiper | surface mount? |
| 22:12:22 | flypiper | buy a sucker.. it's worth every penny |
| 22:12:22 | MonMotha | nope |
| 22:12:53 | MonMotha | sucker? |
| 22:14:19 | flypiper | vacuum iron ...that sucks the soilder out after you get it loose...? |
| 22:14:59 | MonMotha | oh |
| 22:15:04 | MonMotha | can't be cheap |
| 22:15:54 | flypiper | dunno mine at the office is OLD |
| 22:19:11 | flypiper | but worth every cent:-) |
| 22:30:44 | MonMotha | well, I guess we do have the $9.99 version |
| 22:30:45 | MonMotha | http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F006%5F003%5F000&product%5Fid=64%2D2060 |
| 22:33:20 | MonMotha | might be easier to just buy the part though |
| 22:34:20 | flypiper | I gotta go put some fertilizer on my hay field using my tractor.. be back later on |
| 23:43:38 | flypiper | back |
