00:13.19treke|ho1eso. 750 or 760
00:13.22treke|ho1etough question
00:13.55anderseeonly difference is battry size, right?
00:14.05treke|ho1eand flash space iirc
00:14.30treke|ho1etkc is claiming 128MB flash
00:14.59treke|ho1eas much as I dislike shawn gordon, I dont like him enough to pay 50 bucks more :p
00:15.35anderseeshawn gordon?
00:15.36treke|ho1eand flash space is a non issue, so it really boils down to battery
00:15.46treke|ho1e64MB of flash is plenty
00:15.50treke|ho1eandersee: owner of tkc
00:15.54anderseeahh
00:16.06treke|ho1e64MB of storage is about 4 times what he has now
00:16.32anderseeand numerous CF cards
00:16.33treke|ho1ethat too
00:16.39treke|ho1eso it buils down to the battery
00:16.49ljpyes, 128 flash
00:16.52anderseebattery size difference?
00:17.02anderseemuch much difference is there?
00:17.12dotPixeli compared the 750 to the 760 in japan, and end up buying the 750 because th e760 was too big
00:17.24dotPixelthe battery makes the machine bigger
00:17.27treke|ho1eandersee: 950 vs 1800
00:17.45treke|ho1eso its a significant difference in size. Dont know about life though
00:17.56treke|ho1edotPixel: How long does your battery usually last?
00:18.21dotPixeldonno
00:18.27dotPixelenough
00:18.43treke|ho1ehehe. That is good enough for me :p
00:18.55dotPixelcan't watch a fulllength mpg movie with full backlightning on one charge
00:19.18dotPixelbut i use it to read docs and i think it's good enough for that
00:19.27dotPixeli don't either, jus thad to try it
00:20.23treke|ho1emy peak usage would be 2 hours of wireless
00:20.35dotPixeldonno about wireless time
00:21.09dotPixelhaven't got my 802.11 CF card yet
00:21.18treke|ho1ehmmm
00:21.32treke|ho1eI wonder if the discount for tkc kicks in
00:21.37treke|ho1eI might buy more apps if it does :p
00:22.40anderseetkc url?
00:22.53dotPixelWhttp://www.thekompany.com/home/
00:26.05dotPixelWhats the difference between opie and qtopia ?
00:26.19absentiaopen source and not ?
00:26.33anderseeand tkc sells the 750?
00:26.52treke|ho1edotPixel: OPIE is based off of an older qtopia
00:26.55treke|ho1eandersee: they do now
00:27.03treke|ho1eand for about 50 bucks cheaper than dynamism
00:27.09absentiayes
00:27.15absentiabut I just ordered from dynamism
00:27.15dotPixelWhats best then ?
00:27.26treke|ho1edotPixel: Since then there have been improvements to both, but they are still fairly similar
00:27.29treke|ho1eandersee: 650
00:27.30absentiawhy? only $50 more... 2-3 day delivery, not 2-3 weeks... and english conversion .. and 1 year warranty.
00:27.32kergothis tkc waranteeing it? if not, i'd say go with brando.
00:27.42treke|ho1eabsentia: which did you get
00:27.44treke|ho1ekergoth: they are
00:27.46absentiait's 2 clicks
00:27.48absentiakergoth: not that I see
00:27.57absentia760
00:28.10treke|ho1eunless I'm misreading it
00:28.17absentiaI found I can put in a normal battery and not have it be thick.. so I"m happy.
00:29.37treke|ho1eibot, brando?
00:29.37well, brando is sells/exports the Sharp Zaurus and other electronics http://shop.brando.com.hk/ or mailto:brando@brando.com.hk.  C700 $500, C750 $525, C760 $610 USD, (and $45 shipping via fedex) use email for zaurus orders, or plus shipping, or no warranty and japanese sortware.
00:29.47treke|ho1ekergoth: what kind of battery life do you get on the c750?
00:30.02kergothdunno, i'm almost always tethered to a wall
00:30.16treke|ho1ehehe
00:30.52treke|ho1enow that I've seen brando I'm torn on the warranty
00:33.15treke|ho1eexcept I dont see it on his site
00:34.57dotPixelkergoth,  got a c750 ?
00:35.32treke|ho1ehmmm. didnt dynamism have some kind of developer discount? :P

00:44.03treke|ho1eabsentia: does dynamism do online ordering?
00:44.28absentiaI Think so
00:44.30absentiabut I like to call in
00:45.48absentiaoh ya, that's the one she pole dances to... :-)
00:46.02absentiahmmm, wrong channel.
00:46.42treke|ho1edefinitly
00:47.03absentiapaul cole... feelin' love... ever heard it ?
00:47.40treke|ho1eok. so I'm 40 minutes late to order, so I guess I'll order monday
00:49.25ljpthis c700 battery life far exceeds the 5000d
00:49.41treke|ho1eljp: From what I've heard, that isnt saying much
00:50.06treke|ho1e"being shot in the head is less painful than being burned alive"
00:51.38ljphehe, I was just going to say that
00:53.16treke|ho1ehopefully SD performance is improved over the 3800

01:36.36treke|ho1eyeah. Just surprising
01:36.50treke|ho1ewouldnt keep me from buying one
01:37.16treke|ho1eno more games from neo though :p
01:37.49kergoth?
01:38.07treke|ho1elack of arrow keys seems detrimental to games
01:38.42anderseetreke|ho1e: you can still play nethack with the 'vi' keys...
01:38.46andersee:-)
01:38.48treke|ho1eha
01:38.52kergothlack of arrow keys?
01:39.04treke|ho1ekergoth: I'm talking about in view mode
01:39.14kergothoh, portrait orientation
01:39.17kergothyeah, its not a gaming device

02:08.28Masticatormakes us all look socially inept and uncivilized
02:08.45Masticatorno "leader" should ever stoop to the level he is at
02:09.07Masticatorreal leaders like Mad Dog don't act like that
02:09.19MasticatorMad Dog earns your respect, he does not command it

02:15.33absentia:-)
02:15.34absentiagot it
02:15.39absentia(had to go eat dinner first)
02:16.22absentiaa little perl magic
02:16.25absentia<PROTECTED>
02:16.25absentia<PROTECTED>
02:16.25absentia<PROTECTED>
02:18.14treke|ho1eman. perl is ugly
02:18.35absentiagot the job done
02:18.43absentia2 lines.... worked right away... etc.
02:18.53absentiabut, ya, it's fugly.
02:19.32absentiathis is one of my favorites... I did this for unix config files:
02:19.35absentia("@_" =~ m@(?:^|\n)\s*\b$pat\b\s+(?:[^\n]*?)\s*([^\n\s]+?)\s*(?:#[^\n]*?)?\s*
02:19.35absentia(?=\n)@ig);
02:19.42Masticatorjesus
02:20.35absentiaparses  apache config files... and returns the first word on the line and the next... and skips comments... and does it in 1 pass... etc.
02:21.40Masticatorperl is evil
02:21.48MasticatorI try never to use it for web applications
02:21.52treke|ho1eabout the only thing you cant accuse perl of is not getting the job done
02:21.58absentiamerlyn says my code scares'm
02:22.13Masticatorperl uses up serious CPU
02:22.15absentiaactually, perl once told me that my regexp was too complicated for it (perl) and gave up.
02:22.40MasticatorI had a bbs system that ran on perl... when I converted to a php based system I gained like 60 percent of my cpu cycles back
02:22.50absentiaah
02:22.55Masticatorright now my site's CMS system is perl based
02:22.58absentiabut that's lame perl execs
02:23.03Masticatorwaiting to go to something that is PHP and decent
02:23.04absentiaif you wrote a perl web server
02:23.06absentia(like I did
02:23.10absentia) ... then it was very fast.
02:23.14absentiaalways in memory, etc.
02:23.29absentiayou know
02:23.29Masticatornot when you have 500 users executing it at once
02:23.35absentiafor a while.. I did my cgis in java.
02:23.37Masticatorfor small tasks its fine
02:23.46Masticatorcgi is horrendous with large traffic servers
02:23.51absentianice 200byte class... w/ a 50mb runtime library attached
02:24.01absentiamasticator: 1 cgi image
02:24.04absentiathat servers all 500
02:24.06absentiaasync
02:24.16Masticatorperl to mysql connectivity is kludgy too
02:24.20absentiayup
02:24.24absentiaI stay far away fro mthat.
02:24.24Masticatorphp is way way faster
02:24.26absentiaI"m learning python
02:24.34absentiaphp is evil.
02:24.42Masticatorphp is awesome
02:24.48treke|ho1ephp is also a much nastier langauage to develop in
02:25.02absentiayup
02:25.02Masticatordude you can develop a LOT faster in php
02:25.26Masticatordatabase apps are much easier to build with php
02:25.33treke|ho1eyou can also end up with nasty hacks of programs faster withphp
02:25.59Masticatorpython is good but its overhead is almost as nasty as perl's
02:26.25Masticatorphython is totally friggin impractical for embedded development too
02:26.26treke|ho1eMasticator: I suspect a lot of the overhead will go away with a mod_python or mod_perl
02:26.54Masticatorpython is slow as shit on handhelds
02:27.03absentiatreke: listen to what I said... do the whole thing in one image...
02:27.16absentianot al these multi execs of the interpreter... for each call.. etc.
02:28.19treke|ho1eyeah. cgi is the problem not perl :P
02:29.17absentiahuh?
02:29.36treke|ho1eunless i misread what you said
02:29.57absentiacgi is a protocol
02:29.59absentiait's not bad
02:30.01absentiaperl is not bad
02:30.20absentiacalling java 500 times.. ( a sec? ) or c, or sh... or python.... is rough.
02:30.26treke|ho1eyup
02:30.29absentiabut if you don't have that initial start up hit, it's much better.
02:30.50absentiahence, I wrote a server in perl and did what I needed....  it was sufficient.
02:31.23absentiaI'll try to learn twisted .... just to save the low level dev time...
02:31.38treke|ho1edidnt redhat 8 ship php running in CGI mode?
02:31.44absentianot sure
02:31.51absentiaI first used red hat with redhat 9
02:31.56absentiaand only then I've just installed it.
02:32.17treke|ho1eabsentia: they swtiched to apache 2 with redhat 8
02:32.29treke|ho1ebut they shipped it before mod_php and mod_perl were considered safe on apache2
02:36.28kergothtreke|ho1e: heh, i say that with every rh .0 release
02:36.47treke|ho1eoddly enough, so do I
02:36.55treke|ho1eI liked 6.0
02:37.00treke|ho1ebut I didnt know any better at the time
02:37.10treke|ho1eand I think it had gnome
02:37.13treke|ho1eso I was happy
02:38.33treke|ho1ekergoth: took a while before I was willing to upgrade from 6.2 :p
02:38.40kergothyeah, 6.2 was solid.
02:39.19treke|ho1esame is happening with 7.3
02:39.31treke|ho1eI still dont feel good about using 9.0 or even 8.1
02:39.33kergothyep
02:44.35treke|ho1eI never get that feeling with debian, but its much more work when you want something like php upgraded quicker

14:24.14mithronope
14:24.33adriftOkay, just Jason did
14:24.34mithroi'm a student at Adelaide University and owner of a C700 :)
14:24.45adriftcool
14:25.32mithroi wanted to ask some questions about Qt/E and res changing
14:25.40adriftyep
14:26.04mithrothere seem to be facitilies in the code for it, and i produced a patch which kinda works fairly well
14:26.13mithrobut is there an "offical" way to do it?
14:26.39adriftwell we didn't implement the res-change thing on the C700, Sharp or Lineo must have done that bit
14:27.17mithroyeah - i figure as much
14:27.36adriftWhat we are trying to do in newer versions of Qtopia is make it such that an app should resize to different screen sizes
14:28.11adriftThere are some hints with AppLnk pixmap sizes
14:28.33mithro\fn void QLinuxFbScreen::setMode(int nw,int nh,int nd)
14:28.48mithroi'm using that function to do the actual resolution changing
14:29.02mithroand i've kinda figure out how to invalidate all surfaces + fonts
14:29.10mithrobut it has some bugs
14:29.11adriftwhat is your goal?
14:29.19mithroon the fly resolution changing
14:29.27adriftwhy?
14:29.45mithrobecause 320x240 resolution has some advantages
14:30.02mithroie 60fps video's + better for some games
14:30.23adriftdo you mean on the C700 going from 640x480 -> 320x240?
14:30.30mithroyeah and back again

14:30.45pb_hi mickeyl
14:30.46adriftI think the LCD is fixed in the pixels it has
14:30.52mickeylhi pb_ - how are u?
14:30.56mithroadrift: nope
14:31.10mithrothe C700 works wonderfully on the 640x480
14:31.12adriftthe driver on the c700 just pixel doubles so you still are writing same amout of bytes
14:31.21mithroand 320x240
14:31.21pb_adrift: the LCD is fixed, but you can get 320x240 by just displaying every pixel four times.
14:31.36adriftyeah, so what's the point?
14:31.38mithroadrift: actually from what i've seen you dont
14:31.59mithroas far as everything is concerned you have a 320x240 fb
14:32.00pb_mickeyl: pretty good.  you?
14:32.12adriftI think there are ATI linux drivers, but underneth it is doing that
14:32.27mithrothe w100 actually has inbuilt resolution upsizing
14:32.39mithro(it's in there "features" list)
14:32.44adriftokay
14:33.11pb_mithro: yep, that's right.
14:33.16mithroplus there are some times when having a 320x240 is nice - like some stupid apps which havn't be updated
14:33.31mickeylpb_: just returned from vacation with a slight bit of a fever - catched a cold in the plane i suppose - nothing serious though
14:33.43mickeylpb_: you didn't have a chance to try an image on c7x0 yet or did you?
14:33.48pb_mickeyl: let's hope SARS isn't spreading to germany :-)
14:33.52mithroso i just kinda poking it a bit
14:34.00adriftis really the right solution to cripple that beautiful display and change res?
14:34.11pb_mickeyl: no, not yet, been flat out with other stuff the past couple of weeks.
14:34.14pb_mickeyl: I do have a SIMpad now, though.
14:34.15mithroactually it still looks brillent at 320x240
14:34.29mithroi have no idea why, but it's still killer sharp
14:34.48mickeylpb_: aah nice :) flashed OpenSIMpad yet?
14:34.55adriftimho I was very disappointed with the speed of the shipped c700
14:35.09mithroadrift: yeah the speed was a bit slow
14:35.19adriftbit?
14:35.19pb_mickeyl: nope, haven't even taken it out of the box yet.  It's at my office.  I'll set it up and reflash on Tuesday probably (public holiday here on Monday)
14:35.31mithrobut i was on a 103 SH3 with Pocket PC on it so i started from a slow platform :)
14:36.09mickeylpb_: you might wait until next week - we are preparing a new image with Opie 1.0 and a few core bugfixes
14:36.13mithrogot an average of 40fps in ScummVM and about 35fps for gameboy games
14:36.20pb_mickeyl: righto, cool
14:36.52pb_sounds like I will need to have a flashing-fest to install new OSs on all these machines :-)
14:37.06mithromp3s played fine + video was good in 320x240 mode...
14:37.22adriftmithro: which player?
14:37.26mithrothe PIM apps where disappointing
14:37.32mithroDoctorZ
14:37.52mithroyou have to run it in compatibility mode
14:37.55adriftDoes DoctorZ use ffmpeg?
14:37.55mickeylhehe
14:38.10mithrodunno but it has XScale optimizations :)
14:38.32adriftyeah, that's why I asked, if it is ffmpeg based, source for that should be available
14:38.36mithroi got about 45fps with a 200mb Stargate on Compact Flash
14:38.45adriftcool
14:38.51mithroadrift: it's a commercial app
14:39.01adriftffmpeg is LGPL

14:39.28mithroa TV with that type of screen would blow my mind :)

14:44.06mithromy patch works very well, except i can't get the applications which are already started to redraw their surfaces with the new fonts
14:45.57adriftAt Handango it says: For MS-MPEG4 video decoding, Dr.Z Video Player integrates ffmpeg's libavcodec library.
14:46.22adriftStandard MPEG4 video and MPEG Layer 3 audio decodings are powered by Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives -Intel(R) IPP
14:46.55adriftBut the libavcodec source for ffmpeg does not have IPP optimizations that I am aware of
14:48.00mithrohrm - well it worked so i didn't ask any questions :)
14:50.26adriftIt looks like the DrZ player is by PalmPalm, I should be able to find out more. I'll also ask on the ffmpeg mailing list next week
14:55.40mithrohrm i having trouble finding there site again
14:56.40adriftmost of the info was at handango.com -> linux, then most popular download
14:57.14adriftthe company is palmpalm.com but that site doesn't mention it
14:57.44mithrohttp://drzvideo.palmpalm.com/
14:58.04adriftcool
14:59.47adriftmaybe there are two decoders for MS-MPEG4 and MPEG4. The MS-MPEG4 is libavcodec based and the IPP optimizaed one is there own
15:01.14adriftI wonder if Qtopiadesktop should have a virtualdub plugin or something to scale mpegs when you sync them to the pda
15:02.21mithroadrift: so you wouldn't happen to know a generic way to get applications to redraw all the surfaces with the new fonts?
15:02.54adriftstyleChanged() ??
15:03.04mithrohrm... that might work
15:03.07adriftmight be a system wide QCop

15:09.39mithrookay
15:09.54Twiunhrmph... now to find some examples on polygon filling algorithms...
15:09.57mithrothese changes arn't actually in Qt/E they are in Opie

15:12.14Twiunkergoth: yo
15:12.14adriftmithro: the applyStyle() function in there reads in the qpe.conf file and will read in the FontSize setting

15:16.22kergothof course it does.
15:16.36mithrogb2 was working on something to make it work in qtopia/opie
15:16.46kergothno, no, no
15:16.54kergothloadkeys is the ability to change the kernel keymap at runtime
15:17.05kergothhe's fixing a bug i left in the qt/e keyboard handler that makes qt obey the kernel keymap
15:17.15kergothregardless of whther you loaded it now at runtime or at compiletime
15:17.55mithroso qt/e will obey the loadkeys keymap?
15:18.08kergothqt/e obeys the kernel keymap.
15:18.09kergothperiod.
15:18.18kergothloadkeys is just a way of changing that map at runtime.
15:18.46mithrookay
15:18.54mithroso gb2 must have been confused
15:19.25mithroso now how do i create a keymap :) i know the SL_ code of the keys and i've looked into corgi_keymap.map
15:19.28kergothdepends on when you talked to him. last time i talked to him about it he had a clear understanding of the bug and how to fix it
15:19.45kergothmithro: man keymaps

16:07.26mithrokergoth: thanks
16:07.38mithroi found an older version of that HOWTO
16:07.43kergothnp. there are some useful links like that that help one understand how the keyboard handling works in general
16:08.45kergoththe bug gb2 is trying to fix is that we need a new table to translate from keysyms to qt keycodes, rather than keycodes (pre-keymap) to qt keycodes
16:09.02kergothwhich is why things like right shift dont work, since that only becomes shift after the map is applied
16:10.21mithroahh okay...
16:10.40mithrohrm that still doesn't have a list of valid "keysyms" used on the right hand side
16:11.42kergothhmm, not sure where that would be
16:12.52mithroyeah - because i dont seem to think "Home/End/Page Up/Down" don't appear in my local keymap - so i'm assuming that they have a diffrent name
16:14.39kergothmithro: check the console-tools source
16:14.57kergothmithro: even for the compiled in maps it calls loadkeys --mktable to generate something the kernel can use
16:15.04kergothso the syms wont be in kernel space

17:00.28mithro_okay :)
17:00.54mithro_so opie doesn't dynamicly use the kernel's keymap?
17:00.57kergothfeel free to take a look yourself. src/kernel/qkeyboard_qws.cpp, the TODO list shows what needs doing in comments at the top of the file
17:01.00kergoth..
17:01.02kergothyes, it does
17:01.05kergothhow many times do i need to explain this?
17:01.07mithro_??
17:01.27kergothits obtaining the proper unicode value from the kernel keymap, but the translation to a qt keycode value is happening pre-map, not post
17:01.31kergothits not complete.
17:01.41kergoththe todo shows the items left to finish it
17:02.23*** join/#openembedded LordVan (~lordvan@62.218.218.165)
17:02.31kergothfeel free to complete it. the main item is creating a table to translate keysyms to qt keycodes
17:02.41kergothcurrently its kenrel keycodes, not keysyms, to qt keycodes
17:03.04mithro_so loadkeys has no effect to opie - as i first thought?
17:04.04mithro_okay so where can i find a list of qt keycodes :)
17:05.52mithro_just create a table like this one -> static const QWSServer::KeyMap keyM[] = { only with keysyms on the other side?
17:06.03kergothother side?
17:06.34mithro_<PROTECTED>
17:06.38kergothwe need a table to translate from keysyms to qt keycodes. so table[keysym] = qtkeycode;
17:06.51mithro_<PROTECTED>
17:06.56kergothno.
17:06.59kergothwhat is 00?
17:07.15kergothits table[0] = Qt::KeyForKeySymZero
17:07.44mithro_ahh okay
17:07.59mithro_i could do that fairly easily...
17:08.03kergothyep
17:08.07kergothits not hard, just drudge work
17:08.13kergothtaking the time to create the table
17:08.43mithro_well i'm okay to do drudge work :)
17:09.08kergothgreat. having that will fix opie keyboard issues on .. well all our devices, just about.
17:09.39mithro_okay - i'll start on it now :)
17:10.02mithro_now to find out a reference for that table :)

17:16.50mithro_if i can get a list for the table[keysym] side i can create the QT side fairly easy
17:17.36kergothyeah, you still need your list of keysyms
17:17.39kergothhmm
17:18.24mithro_ie i need to know that keycode 0 == Number 0 etc
17:19.15kergothyou have the keyboard handler in front of you, are we only using ksyms that are of type KT_LETTER?
17:19.19kergothor what?
17:19.30kergothas you can see in the LJ article, half the word is type, the other half is value
17:19.39kergothso the question is, how do we index the translation table to qt keycodes
17:19.50kergothby just the value, or by the keysym proper?
17:20.17kergothwe coudl do it the way the kernel does, which has a table of function pointers to handle a given type of key
17:20.23kergothwhich may do something special
17:21.39mithro_yeah i suppose...
17:21.52*** join/#openembedded toe (~matthew@host81-129-73-254.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
17:21.58kergothi guess it depends on whether we _can_ handle certain types of mapped keys in qt
17:22.09kergothlike, is there even a way to map a key to a string the way you can in kernel?
17:22.17kergothif not, there's no point in handling those keysyms
17:23.56mithro_most of the time key==string make no sense
17:24.12kergothF keys are the only real use of that, iirc
17:24.14mithro_althought it is used for special keys like home etc
17:24.19*** join/#openembedded carsten_ (~carsten@pD9526B06.dip.t-dialin.net)
17:24.35kergothwell, we want qt/e to work on all devices, so we cant make the assumption that the device wont have those keyhs
17:24.38kergoths/hs/s/
17:24.58kergothbbl, need to run some errands
17:25.08mithro_yeah but the Home should most proberly be mapped to a Qt::Home key
17:25.49mithro_not to a string
17:26.00kergoth`bblyeah, there isnt always a one to one mapping, so .. dunno. maybe we need a set of function pointers, with the default handler for a given type being the one that indexes into keytable[type][value]

23:24.04nodaIt's not in my 2.4.21 .config...
23:24.30nightfireit seems to make reference to major 60 block devices in the code i've looked at
23:24.31nightfirewhich is mmc
23:24.37nightfireso maybe that's my problem... i had turned it off
23:24.52nodanightfire: There's an option in /etc/fstab for mounting your SD card synced. I think it's "sync"... try turning it off maybe?
23:24.57nightfirewell
23:25.03nodaOr on if it's not on? :)
23:25.09nightfirei think this is unrelated
23:25.14nightfirei tried with both though, at the fs level
23:25.19nodaHeh, cool :)
23:25.39nightfirei think the sync fs option just means that system calls won't return until they've been flushed to disk
23:25.40noda'cuz if sync is off, there's no such thing as "heavy I/O", it's either full-speed or nothing, I thought.
23:25.47nodaYep

23:40.13nightfirei wonder why opie takes so damned long to rescan for "documents".
23:40.28nodaIt must be reading the entire contents or something, I find it annoying too
23:40.42nodaMaybe to find the MIME types....
23:40.50nightfirei wonder if it can be disabled
23:40.50pb_maybe you have too many documents.
23:40.57nightfirepb_: i have nothing :)
23:41.00nodalol
23:41.04pb_heh
23:41.15nightfirealthough i guess i do have 30gb nfs mounted
23:41.15pb_nightfire: long scanning does seem unreasonable then.
23:41.18nightfirebut it's not hitting that.
23:41.43nightfireah well i'm switching to kde anyway, once i get this stupid mmc set up :)
23:41.43pb_I suppose not having any documents might be causing opie to try even harder to find some, but maybe that's a little far-fetched.
23:41.51nodalol, I love the idea of having 30 gigabytes readily available in my pocket :)
23:42.08nodalol
23:42.12pb_noda: just carry around a hard disk :-)
23:42.17nodaHehehe
23:42.31nightfiresweet mother of god  SD is slow now.
23:42.42nodanightfire: Is sync off?
23:42.48nightfireat the FS level yeah
23:42.54nodaAh well, was worth a shot :)
23:42.55nightfirebut now it's on in the kernel
23:42.59nodaOh, ick
23:43.02nightfireoh, well hey it's not crashing..
23:43.05nightfireyet
23:43.07nodayet
23:43.26nightfirebut i swear i could crash, reboot, and rewrite whatever i was working on once a day faster than waiting for this thing in sync mode
23:45.05nightfirethe other day i remotely installed debian onto my PDA at home, from work, onto a loopback filesystem pointing to a file over NFS, itself running over UDP/IP/ethernet, encapsulated over USB.
23:45.07nightfirehehe
23:45.20nodaWheeee :)
23:45.24nodaI love doing that kinda thing :)
23:45.45nightfirepraise sco for writing the code that let me do all that.
23:45.51nodarofl
23:46.16nodaI suppose you've read Bruce Peren's paper dissecting the code they've revealed? :)
23:46.30nightfireit was written by dennis richie wasn't it?
23:46.30mewynnoda: you read the esr paper?
23:46.43nodamewyn: Lemme check
23:46.44mewynnightfire: or ken thompson
23:46.47nightfireah
23:46.52nightfirethis whole thing reminds me of my personal lawsuit
23:46.58mewyn?
23:46.59nightfireit reaks of horseshit
23:47.05nightfirewell i got sued for quitting a company
23:47.13nightfireand while it never made it to court, it still cost me $30k in legal fees :(
23:47.16nightfireso "they won".
23:47.49nodamewyn: Bruce Perens: http://www.perens.com/SCO/SCOSlideShow.html
23:48.00nodaReally quite funny :)
23:49.03mewynseen it
23:49.13mewyni keep up very well on this
23:49.31nodaDitto - if SCO wins... aargh.
23:49.39nodaI'd say it's impossible, but they're in the States. Anything's possible.
23:49.46mewynheh\
23:49.50nightfirei can just imagine those moron sharp "engineers" discussing it right now... "So we've got a race condition somewhere in our SD driver... but we wrote a little workaround that just makes all file access synchronous."
23:49.51mewynnah
23:49.55mewynIBM has more money
23:50.00mewynand they are wrong
23:50.02nodanightfire: rofl
23:50.04mewynthat's a loosing combination
23:50.23nodamewyn: I suppose. Though I don't think the right/wrong will really factor in, it'll just save them some money.
23:50.50mewynnightfire: isn't the SD made by lineo?
23:51.06nightfireis it? :)
23:51.13nodaI think so. Lineo's dead now though.
23:51.19nightfiregood.. bastards.
23:51.21nightfire:)
23:51.22pb_mewyn: no doubt there were plenty of morons at lineo also.
23:51.32mewynwasn't lineo related to caldera somehow?
23:51.35mewynor canopy
23:51.36nodaThere's an open-source driver on handhelds.org. It's not quite ready to be used though.
23:51.56nightfirebackported to 2.4.18?
23:52.02pb_seems to be working OK with the latest round of patches.  someone just needs to write a driver for the sharp asic.
23:52.08nodamewyn: They were bought by Metrowerks.
23:52.29nodanightfire: Dunno, but why stick with 2.4.18 if openembedded's kernel will support your pda? :)
23:52.31anderseemewyn: both lineo and caldera Intl were branched out of Caldera Inc.
23:52.36nightfirechris is working on the SD/sharp code isn't he?
23:52.44mewynandersee: ah.  right
23:52.52nightfirenoda: well, i'm runnign OE's kernel
23:52.54anderseemewyn: Caldera Inc. was dissolved when it won the antitrust lawsuit vs MS
23:52.58nightfireit's 2.4.18 for the c7x0
23:53.04nodaAnd Caldera Intl is now the SCO group?
23:53.15anderseeyep
23:53.16nodanightfire: Well then, there you go. Ask kergoth, he's in charge of that I think :)
23:53.39mewynnoda: correct
23:53.39nightfirenoda: the less i bug him the faster he'll finish.. hopefully :P
23:53.52nightfirethis channel must feel like unix support to him sometimes.
23:53.53nodanightfire: lol, who told you *that*? :P
23:53.59nightfirehehe
23:54.02nodanightfire: Nah, that's #openzaurus :)
23:54.12nightfirewell people still ask questions here..
23:54.17nodaEVERYBODY knows the MORE you bug someone the faster he'll finish! :)
23:54.25mewynlol
23:54.26nightfirehehe
23:54.31nightfiremy boss knows that.
23:55.45nightfirewhere's thie sd/mmc project @ handhelds.org?
23:56.00nodaNo clue. I just pick up rumours on here and ICQ
23:56.04nightfireah
23:56.21mewyni still wanna know what TI is doing
23:56.24mewyn:)
23:56.32nodakergoth's their buildmonkey :)
23:56.37mewyni know
23:56.45mewynbut he won't say anything!
23:56.52pb_nightfire: the sd code at handhelds.org is just part of the kernel
23:56.56TheMasterMind1noda: sup
23:57.06nightfireah
23:57.14nodaTheMasterMind1: heya, long time :)
23:57.28TheMasterMind1whats new?
23:57.37nightfirehas anyone tried 2.4.21 on corgi/husky/shepherd?
23:57.45nodaSchool starts next week, and I've got a 4-day weekend. Every weekend.
23:57.53TheMasterMind1nice
23:57.57NeoTronmewyn: it's called NDA
23:58.02nodaHell yeah. I've never had 4-day weekends.
23:58.26nodaIn all my life...
23:58.36TheMasterMind1heh
23:58.42TheMasterMind1i'm using classes in my php sites now
23:58.45nodaI took a 1-week vacation too. Though I haven't had two weeks off anything in years.
23:58.47TheMasterMind1you made me go over to the dark side
23:58.48mewynNeoTron: i know :)
23:58.58mewyni'm just impatient
23:59.04nodaTheMasterMind1: Great! Wanna go over to the REAL dark side? Make the new download page on oz.org :)
23:59.21mewyni wouldn't bug someone if i knew it would crack them
