| 01:24.59 | lalo | what have you guys been smoking? |
| 01:25.09 | captain_proton | lalo: www.demonbuster.com |

| 01:25.55 | captain_proton | see ya kergoth`bbl |
| 01:26.00 | gonkulator | lalo: I wonder the same thing |
| 01:26.11 | gonkulator | lalo: I recon it can't be more than a few days off |
| 01:26.23 | lalo | gonkey: about smoke or the kernel? |
| 01:27.09 | gonkulator | the kernel :) |
| 01:27.14 | gonkulator | though... |
| 01:27.19 | gonkulator | now that you mention it :) |
| 01:27.28 | gonkulator | the smester only has a few days left in it |
| 01:27.31 | gonkulator | for them |
| 01:28.18 | gonkulator | but I don't think any of them smoke (I certainly don't) |
| 01:28.20 | lalo | <PROTECTED> |
| 01:28.20 | lalo | So, if you came here from a link that said our site is "funny", or anything but Godly, know this - Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, loves you and wants to help you. Since you are reading this, He has brought you here to offer Supernatural help. This site shows you how to get that help, free of charge. |
| 01:29.11 | gonkulator | lalo: isn't that funny |
| 01:29.39 | gonkulator | but I guess they have their place |
| 01:29.43 | captain_proton | they're not peddling |
| 01:29.46 | captain_proton | *free of charge* |
| 01:29.50 | gonkulator | oh yeah |
| 01:29.56 | captain_proton | they're just showing you how to excise demons |
| 01:32.41 | lurgyman | captain_proton: got yer sight singing book? |
| 01:32.43 | lalo | hi scanline |
| 01:32.50 | scanline | hi lalo |
| 01:32.55 | lalo | these guys are actually much more reasonable than the average |
| 01:32.56 | captain_proton | lurgyman: yeah |
| 01:33.03 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 01:33.45 | lalo | I don't know why I spent almost 10 minutes of my life reading trough their ideas :-) but it's not as bad as it sounds |
| 01:33.53 | captain_proton | heh |
| 01:34.10 | lalo | (to answer my own question, I think I was looking for inspiration on something I'm writing, but I found none) |
| 01:34.31 | lalo | so -- what's new? |
| 01:36.12 | captain_proton | :( |
| 01:36.41 | captain_proton | wow |
| 01:36.54 | captain_proton | one of the chocolates my mom gave me was pumpkin |
| 01:36.57 | captain_proton | and its actually damn good |
| 01:37.32 | lalo | if I download 2.6.0-test11 will there be a patch from there to final when final is out? I don't remember having ever used a -test kernel |
| 01:38.20 | lurgyman | though i'd recommend it anyway, just cuz it's supperhappy hyperfluffy |
| 01:38.55 | scanline | oops |
| 01:39.07 | lalo | I'm a bit wary of downloading 32Mb by dialup just to have to download it all over again in a few days :-) |
| 01:39.15 | lurgyman | heh |
| 01:39.43 | lurgyman | scanline: you should just make xscreensaver use the powersaving features ;) |
| 01:40.20 | scanline | lurgyman: it's set to, but it doesn't work |
| 01:40.22 | gonkulator | lalo: the 2.6-test11 is pretty good :) |
| 01:40.34 | lurgyman | scanline: :( |
| 01:41.40 | lalo | funny, worksforme |
| 01:42.15 | captain_proton | heh, some of these evo mails are quite entertaining |
| 01:42.22 | captain_proton | "Red Carpet has a terrible, terrible, ingenious, terrible hack which allows you to..." |
| 01:42.56 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 01:43.02 | lalo | isn't "red carpet" and "terrible" in the same sentence kind of redundant? |
| 01:43.22 | gonkulator | ok, its bedtime |
| 01:43.27 | gonkulator | g'night everyone |
| 01:43.33 | lurgyman | night gonkulator |

| 01:44.28 | lurgyman | bah |
| 01:45.17 | lalo | well, cya then. I'll need what few bandwidth I have to download the kernel (my current kernel is quite borked), and you all seem kind of busy today :-) |

| 01:52.45 | captain_proton | so yeah lurgyman |
| 01:52.51 | darth_mall | my dinner is going to be ready soon, and you should come watch Clavdivs! |
| 01:52.54 | captain_proton | you need to give me a report on the recitation |
| 01:52.56 | captain_proton | specifically |
| 01:53.08 | scanline | dinner... |
| 01:53.25 | captain_proton | whether or not he lets you choose which of the melodies you do |
| 01:53.29 | lurgyman | darth_mall: i wish |
| 01:53.31 | lurgyman | captain_proton: of course he does |
| 01:53.40 | lurgyman | he always does |
| 01:53.42 | lurgyman | he's mike :) |
| 01:53.53 | captain_proton | he didn't our first two... |
| 01:54.25 | lurgyman | ? |
| 01:54.32 | darth_mall | hi scanline |
| 01:54.33 | lurgyman | he must just hate your class or something |
| 01:54.44 | captain_proton | maybe |
| 01:54.56 | captain_proton | i suppose i'll actually take the time to prepare both then |
| 01:57.50 | captain_proton | heh |
| 02:00.28 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 02:02.52 | captain_proton | lurgyman: did you want my book? |

| 02:45.01 | darth_mall | do you have the time and inclination to set up php on navi? |
| 02:45.09 | darth_mall | but it doesn't appear to be working |
| 02:45.45 | captain_proton | i can take a look at it - i'll do it right after this emerge finishes |
| 02:45.49 | darth_mall | ok |
| 02:45.52 | darth_mall | no hurry, just wondering |
| 02:46.19 | darth_mall | yay Tim Curry! |
| 02:54.39 | scanline | I emerged it, and I think that finished, but I didn't do anything else with it |
| 02:54.54 | darth_mall | scanline: I thought so |
| 02:54.59 | darth_mall | s'ok |
| 02:55.01 | scanline | hrm |
| 02:55.15 | scanline | my interrupt handler doesn't really get along with this state machine doodad... |
| 02:57.07 | darth_mall | ugh |
| 02:57.10 | darth_mall | why is she in CS |
| 02:58.12 | scanline | hehe |
| 02:58.16 | scanline | there are a lot of people like that |
| 02:58.25 | scanline | in fact, I'd say most CS students |
| 03:02.08 | darth_mall | you should see this code |
| 03:02.29 | darth_mall | she thought that the A-F on the keycode values represented characters |
| 03:02.40 | darth_mall | so she was testing the values from the keypad against characters |
| 03:02.50 | darth_mall | instead of the numbers 0-15 |
| 03:06.50 | scanline | 'Marty, you're not thinking hexadecimally enough' |
| 03:07.12 | captain_proton | ok, so scanline installed php but not mod_php |
| 03:08.06 | scanline | aha! fixed the little bugger |
| 03:08.22 | scanline | captain_proton: so they fixed mod_php for apache2 finally? :) |
| 03:08.34 | captain_proton | scanline: dunno |
| 03:08.38 | scanline | last time I installed php I had to use the cgi and mod_rewrite because mod_php was still broke |
| 03:10.03 | captain_proton | looks like it - the ebuild has some stuff for apache2 |
| 03:10.20 | scanline | neat |
| 03:15.46 | darth_mall | neat, I have python 2.3.2 |
| 03:15.51 | captain_proton | :) |
| 03:25.18 | scanline | =) |
| 03:25.52 | scanline | darth_mall: now you have a real boolean data type, generators enabled by default, more XML-RPC features, and more goodies :) |
| 03:26.47 | darth_mall | scanline: ?? |
| 03:26.53 | darth_mall | it's set up? |
| 03:28.44 | captain_proton | darth_mall: in python 2.3 :) |
| 03:28.52 | darth_mall | ohhhh, right ^^ |
| 03:30.34 | captain_proton | http://navi/~jupiter/test.php |
| 03:34.56 | scanline | ooh, and most importantly... |
| 03:35.03 | scanline | 2.3 will run all those really scary pickles |
| 03:35.51 | darth_mall | yay scary pickels! |
| 03:35.55 | darth_mall | erm... pickles! |
| 03:39.42 | darth_mall | captain_proton / scanline: thanks again for setting that up for me |
| 03:42.19 | scanline | aha |
| 03:44.03 | scanline | hmmm |
| 03:44.08 | scanline | order me one too =) |
| 03:44.42 | captain_proton | only if you come home ;) |
| 03:44.46 | captain_proton | and pay for it yourself |
| 03:44.59 | scanline | hehe, darn |
| 03:45.14 | scanline | yay... this TMR2 interrupt works much better now |
| 03:51.40 | captain_proton | bah! |
| 03:51.45 | captain_proton | the gpl is NOT A CLICK-THROUGH LICENSE |
| 03:52.06 | scanline | hah, I hate it when they do that |
| 03:52.22 | scanline | they obviously don't understand the license they're trying to apply to their software |
| 03:52.40 | captain_proton | uhhuh |
| 03:52.51 | captain_proton | no, i will not agree to extra rights! |
| 03:56.13 | scanline | the GPL makes it quite obvious that it only applies to a program's modification and distribution, not its use |
| 03:56.15 | darth_mall | click-through weapons? |
| 03:56.21 | darth_mall | gah? |

| 04:43.34 | darth_mall | hmmm... what to watch |
| 04:46.32 | captain_proton | sandwich all ordered :) |
| 04:47.39 | darth_mall | yay! |
| 04:47.41 | darth_mall | ordered! |
| 04:47.44 | captain_proton | weird, both of the automata guys are polish |
| 04:49.56 | darth_mall | mmmm... Matrix |
| 04:51.25 | scanline | yay, sandwich |
| 04:59.22 | scanline | mmm... software UART close to working in receive |

| 05:47.54 | scanline | or run all binaries contained in them |
| 05:48.10 | captain_proton | heh |
| 05:48.14 | captain_proton | quite useful, that |

| 06:16.03 | captain_proton | umm |
| 06:16.06 | captain_proton | i think so |
| 06:16.20 | lurgyman | so long as it's inside the <?php> bit |

| 06:19.53 | scanline | oh |
| 06:20.00 | darth_mall | guess not |
| 06:20.01 | scanline | that's inside a tag's attribute list, not inside a tag :p |

| 06:20.59 | lurgyman | but |
| 06:21.11 | lurgyman | just having a guess |

| 06:33.06 | scanline | one of the structures guys here looked at my 'scope and said "you know, you got a bunch of wiggles on your screen.. if you adjust the antenna it usually straightens out" |
| 06:33.42 | captain_proton | :) |
| 06:33.47 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 06:35.32 | scanline | ugh.. this software UART is about 500 lines of assembly already |
| 06:35.47 | captain_proton | eww |
| 06:35.53 | scanline | it's almost as big as the micronet state machine |
| 06:36.34 | scanline | hmm, only about 2700 lines |
| 06:39.13 | captain_proton | hmm, maybe its a leak issue |
| 06:39.14 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 06:40.58 | lurgyman | whee, theery... |
| 06:50.27 | kyric | my god! my tourniquet! |
| 06:50.37 | kyric | return to me salvation! |
| 06:58.58 | kyric | ooo! happoy midnight |
| 07:00.02 | darth_mall | ugh, I should go to sleep |
| 07:00.09 | darth_mall | but I'm having such fun w/ php |
| 07:01.39 | darth_mall | hmmm... but I don't think what I"m doing will work |
| 07:01.59 | darth_mall | at least, not without being even more gross than it already is |
| 07:02.14 | kyric | sleep...overrated |
| 07:02.20 | scanline | yay, in theory at least this UART should be done |
| 07:03.33 | kyric | you say that now |
| 07:04.03 | scanline | yeah |
| 07:04.22 | darth_mall | Universal Artificial Reverse Topography? |
| 07:04.33 | scanline | heh |
| 07:04.42 | darth_mall | oi, getting silly now ^^ |
| 07:04.44 | captain_proton | thats like what i'm going to do with this data, if i ever get these schemas working |
| 07:04.46 | captain_proton | :) |
| 07:05.05 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 07:05.29 | captain_proton | ok, my schema consists only of |
| 07:05.34 | captain_proton | <xs:element name="technique"/> |
| 07:05.38 | scanline | s/suck/to suck/ |
| 07:05.46 | captain_proton | and xmllint is giving me this: |
| 07:05.47 | captain_proton | techniques/lone-kimono.xml:7: element technique: Schemas validity error : Element technique not declared |
| 07:08.34 | darth_mall | I must be doing something crazy |
| 07:32.19 | lurgyman | doodeetheerydoo... |
| 07:32.36 | darth_mall | hehe, the webpage is all full of error messages now |
| 07:33.41 | darth_mall | well, I suppose I ought to turn in |
| 07:37.58 | lurgyman | yay, error messages |
| 07:38.19 | scanline | darth_mall: I like the latest color scheme |
| 07:38.46 | darth_mall | what? with the little bars and stuff? |
| 07:38.56 | darth_mall | I think that's the only thing I've changed since I last made you look at it ^^ |
| 07:40.37 | darth_mall | grrr |
| 07:40.41 | darth_mall | why can't it read the directories |
| 07:40.49 | scanline | ah |
| 07:40.53 | scanline | well, either way I like it :) |
| 07:40.57 | scanline | where are these directories? |
| 07:41.04 | scanline | remember that your script is running as the 'apache' user |
| 07:41.05 | darth_mall | in public_html |
| 07:41.10 | scanline | hmm |
| 07:41.15 | darth_mall | I see |
| 07:41.25 | scanline | it also probably won't have it's current directory set to anything useful |
| 07:41.25 | darth_mall | so I don't want to feed it the current directory? |
| 07:41.33 | darth_mall | hmmm... |
| 07:41.59 | scanline | try just using an absolute path for testing |
| 07:42.07 | scanline | it should be able to read anything the web server can read |
| 07:42.12 | darth_mall | yeah, that didn't fix anything |
| 07:42.17 | scanline | hrm, ok |
| 07:46.38 | darth_mall | well bugger |
| 07:47.07 | Cae | hm. shower time..then sleep..back in a while |
| 07:47.36 | lurgyman | bye Cae |
| 07:48.22 | darth_mall | hmm... I think I know what's breaking it |
| 07:50.07 | lurgyman | mm |
| 07:50.15 | lurgyman | so many little black squiggley things... |
| 07:53.13 | kyric | tired. |
| 07:53.21 | captain_proton | lurgyman: sure |
| 07:53.36 | kyric | lurgyman: that is an excellent description of notes |
| 07:54.03 | lurgyman | kyric: unfortunately :) |
| 07:54.16 | lurgyman | captain_proton: i should be almost done in a few minutes |
| 07:54.44 | captain_proton | yay scanline |
| 07:55.05 | kyric | scanline: if you want a ride come to chen 107 |
| 07:55.08 | scanline | the UART is all written.. receive works as far as I can tell, but transmit completely aborts after the start bit |
| 07:55.13 | scanline | kyric: chen? |
| 07:55.22 | kyric | chemical engineering |
| 07:55.41 | scanline | there's a chemical engineering department? :P |
| 07:55.55 | kyric | i think so |
| 07:56.04 | captain_proton | scanline: yeah - the whitewater lab is in chen |
| 07:56.26 | scanline | it just seemed like an odd place for kyric to be |
| 07:57.25 | captain_proton | i actually think ecch 107 is an ITS lab... |
| 07:57.29 | kyric | scanline: our lab partner hadn't ever been here, so rich and i brought her...cause chem E is just....so ...exciting |
| 07:57.46 | kyric | we decided to close shop, we're tired, so yea |
| 07:57.52 | scanline | okeydokey |
| 07:58.04 | scanline | be there in a bit |
| 07:59.25 | captain_proton | kyric: remember, you ought to reset your dsl modem when you get back =/ |
| 08:00.28 | darth_mall | grrr.. why am I still up |
| 08:00.37 | captain_proton | darth_mall: because CSS and PHP are fun? |
| 08:00.46 | darth_mall | yes but I have class at 9 |
| 08:00.59 | darth_mall | although... I suppose there isn't much reason to go... |
| 08:01.11 | kyric | captain_proton: i'll reset it when i can use it |
| 08:01.12 | captain_proton | heh |
| 08:01.14 | darth_mall | Ted's not very good at teaching and Wyss is giving a review on wed. ... |
| 08:01.24 | darth_mall | and there isn't any hw due |
| 08:01.24 | kyric | buty ou can come reset it |
| 08:01.24 | captain_proton | kyric: :( |
| 08:01.42 | lurgyman | grr, too many accidentals... |
| 08:01.49 | captain_proton | kyric: me resetting it requires someone to be there, which really isn't all that often nowadays |
| 08:02.14 | kyric | that isn't my fault, blame my professors |
| 08:02.27 | kyric | (and my roomates...i can't speak for them |
| 08:02.37 | captain_proton | kyric: sure you can't reset it? its 2 seconds of your day =/ |
| 08:03.02 | kyric | is someone every going to fix our etherweb? it's been almost two weeks now |
| 08:03.54 | kyric | i am not liking this etherlack |
| 08:04.02 | kyric | it's a bad reason to be productive |
| 08:04.14 | captain_proton | kyric: scanline is the one who manages to actually get the cable crimps right, and he's been slacking |
| 08:07.39 | Cae | humm |
| 08:07.57 | darth_mall | slowly fixing bugs.... |
| 08:08.39 | scanline | captain_proton: if by slacking you mean that I haven't been home at the same time as kyric in weeks :P |
| 08:08.48 | scanline | captain_proton: I'm sure it wouldn't kill you to at least try |
| 08:08.52 | scanline | :) |
| 08:09.05 | kyric | scanline: LEAVE TIME! |
| 08:09.06 | darth_mall | scanline: but what if the cable got mad and jumped up and bit his throat out? |
| 08:09.16 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 08:10.05 | captain_proton | scanline: yeah, but what will happen is i'll make a crappy crimp and it'll break again in a few weeks |
| 08:10.05 | captain_proton | and/or be intermittent |
| 08:10.05 | darth_mall | mmmm... intermittent |
| 08:10.29 | captain_proton | it seems like with the time i spend keeping the ppp link up, you could spend 5 minutes to fix their cable =/ |
| 08:12.21 | lurgyman | aiee, the accidentals are everywhere all of the sudden |
| 08:13.45 | captain_proton | hmmm |
| 08:13.46 | captain_proton | http://upevil.net/grrr/gentoozealot.html |
| 08:18.13 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 08:18.16 | darth_mall | hrm |
| 08:18.47 | lurgyman | hrm |
| 08:18.49 | lurgyman | on second thought |
| 08:20.28 | Cae | sleep well |
| 08:20.41 | darth_mall | grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |
| 08:20.50 | darth_mall | why can't these functions see this variable? |
| 08:23.13 | darth_mall | well, this is going to require a good deal more work |
| 08:23.24 | darth_mall | so I think I shall retire for the evening |
| 08:25.24 | Cae | g'night :) |
| 08:30.11 | scanline | urgh.. tired... |
| 08:30.21 | captain_proton | bah, how can xmllint suck so much? |
| 08:33.48 | Cae | okay, sleepytime for the Cae.. |
| 08:34.05 | Cae|Sleep | (because otherwise I'm going to be completely out of it tomorrow) |
| 08:34.25 | Cae|Sleep | sleep well whenever you guys sleep :) |
| 08:34.29 | Cae|Sleep | if you sleep :P |
| 08:36.30 | captain_proton | 'night Cae|Sleep |
| 08:36.41 | captain_proton | BAH BAH BAH |
| 08:37.00 | captain_proton | how can xml schemae be so important and yet the tools suck so much? |
| 09:24.26 | captain_proton | scanline: i'm going to need you & kyric to schedule a time to get together and fix it - i specifically remember two times she was over here and asked you to do so, and you refused |
| 09:24.56 | captain_proton | scanline: asap, so that fair billing won't be a complete pain |

| 14:03.53 | gonkulator | sbahra: my sound card and power supply come in today :) |
| 14:04.49 | sbahra | :) |
| 14:04.54 | sbahra | What sound card? |
| 14:07.24 | gonkulator | I am sick of my sound skipping, and don't like the codec method |
| 14:07.45 | gonkulator | so I purchased an eight dollar PCI 5.1 sound card in the hopes that it won't skip |
| 14:15.34 | carpman | yay, cool and hip |
| 14:19.13 | gonkulator | carpman: my thoughts exactly |
| 14:19.25 | gonkulator | carpman: I got a 600w PSU for only like 24 bucks |
| 14:19.40 | gonkulator | *if* it works, that would be one of the best deals I have ever gotten :) |
| 14:44.12 | gonkulator | ugh |
| 14:44.27 | gonkulator | hey file, they won't give me my tracking number... they only let me track it through their page |
| 14:44.39 | carpman | eww |
| 14:45.01 | carpman | gonkulator: write a script to reload it 30 times a second |
| 14:45.17 | gonkulator | well, they do use the GET method... |
| 14:45.31 | gonkulator | instead of post data, which should make it a tad bit easier |
| 14:45.36 | gonkulator | though, I don't know enough to do it |

| 14:53.23 | gonkulator | carpman: indeed :) |
| 14:53.32 | gonkulator | which makes me wonder why I am hacking perl at work |

| 15:17.51 | captain_proton | * Nidhoggr clicks his heels together 3 times and says "there's nothing like 1.10" |
| 15:17.51 | captain_proton | <Nidhoggr> hrm... wonder if it'll work with birkenstocks instead of ruby slippers. |
| 15:21.37 | lurgyman | morning captain_proton and carpman |
| 17:11.34 | gonkulator | hey, I discovered a linksys card in gluon, can I borrow your dremel? |
| 17:12.21 | gonkulator | yeah, scanline is actually pretty good with kids |
| 17:12.25 | gonkulator | he puts up with me rather well :) |
| 17:13.51 | carpman | hmm... this hiptop thing looks cool, even if it does use jawa. |
| 17:14.29 | gonkulator | ya know, Java really isn't so bad once you get to know it :) |
| 17:14.47 | carpman | HERESY!!! BLASPHEMY!!!! |
| 17:15.41 | gonkulator | ~lart Java |
| 17:21.49 | gonkulator | carpman: does my lack of Java Hate disturb you? |
| 17:22.49 | carpman | gonkulator: no, I just have to instill it in you. |
| 17:23.18 | gonkulator | carpman: with the amount of Java stuff I have done, either its there or its not :) |
| 17:24.28 | carpman | showshovels? |
| 17:24.36 | carpman | for shoveling out bad sci-fi? |
| 17:24.36 | captain_proton | rich is a wonderful, caring, amazingly parsimonious bastard |
| 17:26.16 | gonkulator | carpman: the white stuff fell like mad yesterday |
| 17:26.51 | carpman | not here. It's like 75 or something |
| 17:35.03 | hardwire | scanline: what are you using for temp monitoring (hardware) |
| 17:35.52 | captain_proton | hardwire: we're using the microchip TC74 |
| 17:36.28 | captain_proton | it seems to be one of the only chainable i2c therms out there |
| 17:37.09 | hardwire | ok |
| 17:37.19 | hardwire | you just ran a pair all over the house? |
| 17:39.38 | captain_proton | it actually requires 4 wires |
| 17:39.54 | captain_proton | ground, power, clock, data |
| 17:40.13 | captain_proton | a couple of the therms are hooked up over cat5, the other is just telephone wire |
| 17:40.36 | captain_proton | but because they're chainable, you could theoretically get 8 therms on one cable |
| 17:42.30 | gonkulator | w00t |
| 17:45.43 | hardwire | captain_proton: ok.. |
| 17:45.45 | hardwire | what are you using for i2c->RS-232 ? |
| 17:45.55 | captain_proton | we're not using rs-232 |
| 17:46.01 | hardwire | ok then |
| 17:46.11 | hardwire | whats polling the results then? |
| 17:46.26 | captain_proton | using the rcpod |
| 17:46.37 | hardwire | which I still have no idea of anything about |
| 17:46.52 | captain_proton | its basically firmware/software to poke/peek data inside the PIC |
| 17:47.03 | captain_proton | so the i2c stuff is done in software from the host |
| 17:47.36 | hardwire | ok |
| 17:47.40 | hardwire | hows it get into the computer |
| 17:47.48 | gonkulator | USB :) |
| 17:47.53 | hardwire | ok |
| 17:48.09 | captain_proton | http://freshmeat.net/projects/rcpod/?topic_id=97 |
| 17:48.34 | hardwire | you guys should sell rcpods.. |
| 17:48.40 | hardwire | make a little gonkulator slave chain for soldering |
| 17:49.54 | captain_proton | heh |
| 17:51.32 | gonkulator | later all |
| 17:52.51 | darth_mall | well, that was a nice nap |
| 18:01.53 | *** join/#tacobeam sbahra (~sbahra@dial36-85.sbm.net.sa) |
| 18:18.24 | darth_mall | well, I've solved a lot of problems |
| 18:24.48 | sbahra | Hey all |
| 18:26.36 | darth_mall | hey sbahra |
| 18:26.39 | darth_mall | yay! I fixed it! |
| 18:26.41 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 18:26.50 | darth_mall | captain_proton: you were right, it was never setting that global variable |
| 18:47.31 | scanline | hehe, they're so cute |
| 18:47.40 | darth_mall | who's cute? |
| 18:47.53 | scanline | the elementary school kids at the outreach |
| 18:48.00 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 18:48.02 | scanline | one of them built a satellite that detects life on pluto |
| 18:48.44 | darth_mall | s00t! |
| 18:48.46 | darth_mall | erm... w00t! |
| 18:49.03 | scanline | hmm, there's a little christmas tree in the lobby here |
| 18:49.15 | darth_mall | ooh x-mas |
| 18:50.53 | darth_mall | scanline: what should I listen to now |
| 18:50.58 | scanline | boing |
| 18:51.24 | darth_mall | yay it works! |
| 18:51.28 | darth_mall | and it's all php like |
| 18:51.33 | scanline | such a useful textbook |
| 18:55.23 | captain_proton | heh |
| 18:55.28 | captain_proton | yay for finite automata |
| 18:57.43 | scanline | true |
| 18:58.33 | scanline | the old critical decoder used a really broken algorithm to scan the incoming serial data for critical mode packets |
| 18:58.51 | scanline | the original password was "superflyrocks".. I think superfly was a codename for that critical decoder |
| 18:59.08 | scanline | but the algorithm was broken enough they had to change it to "superflyrock" since the second 's' would break it |
| 18:59.42 | scanline | I think for this one I'm going to have a little python proggie that generates code to implement a state machine for a given string |
| 19:00.56 | sbahra | scanline: What is the title of the book? |
| 19:01.29 | scanline | "Introduction to Algorithms", by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein |
| 19:01.52 | scanline | 1180 pages =) |
| 19:02.13 | captain_proton | .....what algorithm did it use? |
| 19:02.37 | darth_mall | hmmm... it seems my function for creating the navigation links is picking up the swap files |
| 19:02.42 | captain_proton | it seems like the only possible thing is an automaton |
| 19:03.07 | darth_mall | there, all better |
| 19:03.11 | scanline | captain_proton: the code was really messy so it was hard to tell, but I think it just compared the newly received byte against the current position in the string, incrementing that position if it matches.. so functionally it's an automaton, but it doesn't account for parts of the search string that form prefixes of itself |
| 19:03.31 | captain_proton | eek |
| 19:03.36 | scanline | captain_proton: well, you can always just keep a buffer of the last n bytes and compare the end of it against the search string each time you get a byte, but that's silly |
| 19:03.52 | scanline | and I don't really have the memory for that |
| 19:05.51 | carpman | wow |
| 19:05.58 | sbahra | scanline: Cool |
| 19:06.06 | carpman | I have an ssh connect to ruri through this hiptop simulator |
| 19:06.22 | captain_proton | heh |
| 19:06.26 | captain_proton | todd has a hiptop |
| 19:06.40 | sbahra | A hiptop? |
| 19:06.50 | captain_proton | though i think its one of the black&white ones because T-mobile is being bad |
| 19:07.30 | carpman | haha! screen works on it too |
| 19:07.33 | carpman | exit |
| 19:07.36 | carpman | eep |
| 19:07.39 | captain_proton | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A0AZC/qid=1070996846//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i0_xgl180/103-1288310-3727806?v=glance&s=wireless&n=507846 |
| 19:09.13 | carpman | wow! $19! |
| 19:09.30 | captain_proton | yeah, but the plan is kinda pricey |
| 19:09.37 | captain_proton | and T-mobile's service sucks a good deal |
| 19:09.45 | sbahra | scanline: Who is the publisher? |
| 19:10.06 | carpman | it's less than I pay sprint, and t-mobile isin't bad here in Dallas |
| 19:10.07 | captain_proton | sbahra: mcgraw hill |
| 19:11.24 | captain_proton | xyzzy says, "james's "Duh" safety tip of the day: if you dereference a pointer in the kernel, make sure it's nonnull" |
| 19:12.00 | carpman | captain_proton: truly, words of wisdom :) |
| 19:12.00 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 19:12.31 | captain_proton | scanline: you have a picogui question :) |
| 19:12.51 | scanline | grbpht |
| 19:13.34 | scanline | gah, I hate the oscilloscopes here |
| 19:13.49 | scanline | they have so much trouble locking onto signals |
| 19:15.04 | carpman | scanline: bah! Thats like asking for a 3rd arm! :) |
| 19:15.24 | scanline | well, I guess I could use the logic analyzer |
| 19:15.34 | scanline | but this is the sort of thing where I'd rather be able to see my signals in real-time |
| 19:15.54 | carpman | scanline: so... get more than one scope |
| 19:16.32 | scanline | there's also a little LCD digital scope, but it's kind of annoying |
| 19:17.01 | gonkulator | hmm.... |
| 19:17.59 | scanline | the scope isn't for the outreach |
| 19:18.04 | gonkulator | I know |
| 19:18.06 | scanline | the outreach is over, I'm working on serial port code |
| 19:18.10 | gonkulator | but the idea is funny just the same :) |
| 19:18.23 | scanline | heh, I've brought my scope to my mom's classroom before :) |
| 19:18.36 | gonkulator | these student labs really suck |
| 19:18.41 | scanline | she was teaching them about sound |
| 19:19.15 | gonkulator | and his HUGE scope :) |
| 19:19.19 | scanline | hehe, yup |
| 19:19.35 | scanline | the cart they usually have the scopes on here looks like it was designed for one of those |
| 19:19.48 | gonkulator | darth_mall/scanline: I think I might need some starcraft tonight |
| 19:20.29 | darth_mall | I think I might be distracted, but we'll see |
| 19:20.33 | gonkulator | alright |
| 19:22.57 | gonkulator | you know, finals suck |
| 19:23.12 | gonkulator | and I'm not even going to say what sinals do |
| 19:23.48 | carpman | sinals... the horrible combonation of sinuses and finals |
| 19:24.11 | gonkulator | one by itself is fine |
| 19:24.25 | gonkulator | but when two or more gather, thats when problems start to arise |
| 19:25.17 | gonkulator | and this is a really funny font :) |
| 19:32.00 | darth_mall | hmmm... I know what will fix this! |
| 19:32.07 | darth_mall | more coffee! |
| 19:33.23 | gonkulator | hmm... |
| 19:39.31 | gonkulator | well, time to go take my test |
| 19:39.44 | gonkulator | hopefully I will do well enough to get a good grade in the class :) |
| 19:39.46 | gonkulator | later everyone |

| 20:15.37 | pagefault | can't believe they still have that fuel surcharge thing |
| 20:17.13 | pagefault | oh well |

| 20:19.39 | pagefault | what to do |
| 20:21.36 | darth_mall | weird |
| 20:21.49 | darth_mall | all of these files are seen as directories by php |
| 20:21.53 | darth_mall | and none of them are seen as files |
| 20:23.43 | darth_mall | rather, it doesn't view them as files or directories |

| 20:57.47 | darth_mall | I should probably do some studying |
| 20:57.49 | darth_mall | =\ |
| 20:59.50 | carpman | dance with us darth_mall! Dance with us into oblivion! |
| 21:00.04 | darth_mall | ? |

| 21:00.46 | carpman | darth_mall: the one where zim tries to make gir work right |
| 21:01.32 | darth_mall | it's actually been awhile since I last saw that show |
| 21:02.00 | darth_mall | hmm... so I can study... or I can work on some kind of guestbook for this page |
| 21:03.04 | captain_proton | guestbooks are silly |
| 21:03.16 | darth_mall | yeah, but I just wanna fill space |
| 21:05.07 | captain_proton | heh |
| 21:25.38 | file | gonkulator: your stuff arrived eh? |
| 21:25.42 | gonkulator | yep |
| 21:25.48 | file | none of mine has |
| 21:26.14 | gonkulator | file: I did get another computer though |
| 21:26.26 | file | ooooooooooh |
| 21:26.39 | gonkulator | its slow, but probably on par with the stuff you have |
| 21:27.14 | gonkulator | morning Cae |
| 21:27.18 | gonkulator | how did ja sleep? |
| 21:27.30 | Cae | eh. |
| 21:27.35 | Cae | I needed it. sore throat. |
| 21:28.49 | gonkulator | if this box is faster than 120 mHz, I will use it as my music box if the new card skips |
| 21:29.28 | gonkulator | aw crap, its a 486 |
| 21:29.59 | file | hahahahahaha |
| 21:30.40 | gonkulator | 1993 vintage it seems |
| 21:30.48 | file | now that's old... |
| 21:30.54 | gonkulator | yeah |
| 21:30.54 | file | well not too old |
| 21:31.16 | file | old enough to be a nuisance |
| 21:31.16 | captain_proton | gonkulator: your music skipping isn't a feature of the sound card |
| 21:31.16 | captain_proton | its a feature of the PCI bus |
| 21:31.18 | gonkulator | captain_proton: right |
| 21:32.00 | gonkulator | but for eight bucks, I figure its worth a shot, ya know :) |
| 21:32.16 | captain_proton | ...no |
| 21:32.45 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 21:32.56 | captain_proton | you know the cause, and you know that just replacing the card won't have any impact on that cause - so it seems rediculous to pin your hopes on it |
| 21:33.15 | gonkulator | captain_proton: right now I am using the AC97 bolted on codec thing |
| 21:33.49 | gonkulator | which is less than good |
| 21:33.51 | captain_proton | ...so? ac97 cards are usually pretty decent |
| 21:34.21 | gonkulator | captain_proton: ok, so I'm stupid, what cha gonna do, sue me, laugh at me, make me feel dumb? |
| 21:34.43 | gonkulator | I know your just pointing it out |
| 21:34.59 | gonkulator | but still |
| 21:35.09 | gonkulator | argh... |
| 21:35.16 | gonkulator | I have no use for a 120 meg hard drive |
| 21:35.21 | kergoth | arg |
| 21:35.25 | gonkulator | nor a 2x CD-ROM |
| 21:36.08 | captain_proton | now the -real- solution, assuming you don't want to give up your many monitors, would be to set up slower computers for the random apps (like your gaim monitor [pfft]) and use synergy |
| 21:39.03 | darth_mall | mmm... synergy |
| 21:39.03 | darth_mall | but that only works if you shift your paradigm and think outside the box |
| 21:39.03 | darth_mall | =P |
| 21:39.04 | darth_mall | and always ask yourself: "is what I am doing good for the company?" |
| 21:39.04 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 21:39.04 | captain_proton | :) |
| 21:39.04 | captain_proton | synergy2.sf.net |
| 21:39.41 | gonkulator | well, win lose or draw, its time for me to put this new power supply into nova |
| 21:39.47 | gonkulator | so I'll be back in a bit |
| 21:45.48 | darth_mall | hehe, this is getting sexy |
| 21:51.37 | captain_proton | darth_mall: you realize you have "\n" appearing in your html? |
| 21:51.43 | Cae | ahh.. |
| 21:52.17 | darth_mall | whoops |
| 21:52.19 | darth_mall | captain_proton: where? |
| 21:52.26 | captain_proton | darth_mall: look at the source |
| 21:52.30 | Cae | tea made from dried spearmint and peppermint, steeped until it's the color of dark honey and you can practically taste it by scent. |
| 21:52.33 | darth_mall | I see |
| 21:53.40 | captain_proton | what a great band |
| 21:53.58 | darth_mall | captain_proton: all better |
| 21:54.18 | darth_mall | didn't realize escape characters had to be in " not ' |
| 22:02.01 | captain_proton | hmm, i should leave |
| 22:02.31 | gonkulator | later captain_proton |
| 22:03.30 | darth_mall | wicked cool! |
| 22:03.42 | gonkulator | darth_mall: wazzat? |
| 22:03.47 | darth_mall | my webpage |
| 22:03.53 | darth_mall | gotta little scripty for doing news items now |
| 22:04.12 | darth_mall | just by putting text files in a certain directory |
| 22:04.23 | darth_mall | news items get loaded and given a header of the time the file was last modified |
| 22:05.30 | file | gonkulator: alas, you were out of bandwidth long ago :p |
| 22:05.51 | captain_proton | long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday |
| 22:06.01 | captain_proton | searching for the truth to life, and therefore just the way... |
| 22:06.02 | gonkulator | file: yeah, I prolly shoulda stopped adding cards after the second card |
| 22:06.30 | file | gonkulator: indeed |
| 22:06.36 | file | well nothing for me today, darn |
| 22:06.37 | gonkulator | I might lose some cards if I get some bigger monitors |
| 22:06.43 | darth_mall | mmm... Nirvana |
| 22:06.47 | file | oh well - new fileserver will arrive tomorrow. |
| 22:08.57 | file | Total amount of snow we got from this past storm: 23.62 inches |
