| 01:05.47 | purple_cow | BMP you say |
| 01:05.50 | scanline | aw.. the ibook inverter board went up to $15 |
| 01:06.07 | scanline | purple_cow: works nicely so far.. only bug I've noticed is a little flakiness in measuring width of text in the playlist |
| 01:06.21 | scanline | and it's all compatible with xmms skins and plugins |
| 01:06.25 | scanline | for the most part |
| 01:06.41 | scanline | plugins that use gtk 1.x need porting, but the rest seems to be the same |
| 01:06.44 | lurgy | yay most part |
| 01:07.16 | purple_cow | hyuk, skins |
| 01:07.46 | scanline | uhhuh |
| 01:08.01 | scanline | but that'd be asking too much I guess |

| 01:15.30 | purple_cow | no |

| 01:25.33 | lurgy | yay pretty |
| 01:25.58 | darth_mall | what's really cool, is the fingerings are almost identical to the saxophone ^^ |
| 01:26.14 | lurgy | is it in the same key? |
| 01:26.19 | purple_cow | yay for slightly cheaper electricity bills |

| 01:52.23 | lurgy | hehe, wow |
| 01:52.31 | lurgy | did they just point you to the website? |
| 01:53.09 | purple_cow | anyone have an unbroken xchat-gnome tree? :) |
| 01:53.23 | purple_cow | (meaning not svn-upped within the last week.5 or so) |

| 01:54.02 | scanline | it's in /navi/tmp |

| 01:55.13 | scanline | aha |
| 01:55.25 | scanline | so the peak current through these could be as high as 14 amps, but average should be less than 1 amp |
| 01:55.29 | scanline | nice |
| 01:56.13 | purple_cow | urk |

| 03:18.25 | purple_cow | yay, sink is mostly empty |
| 03:18.25 | purple_cow | time for a culinary experiment |
| 03:20.24 | lurgy | yay |
| 03:20.25 | scanline | yay, row drivers are all hooked up |
| 03:20.55 | lurgy | no |
| 03:20.56 | lurgy | i lied |
| 03:21.02 | lurgy | it's time to annoy everybody here with my trombone |
| 03:21.03 | lurgy | damn auditions |
| 03:22.07 | rioter | everyone does |
| 03:22.13 | lurgy | as they should |
| 03:22.15 | lurgy | ah well |
| 03:23.35 | lurgy | ooh, i like the way this room sounds |
| 03:23.38 | lurgy | a good practice room |
| 03:23.40 | lurgy | just right |
| 03:24.19 | scanline | suppose I should pick out some column drive transistors |
| 03:24.55 | scanline | or maybe I should commit this |
| 03:25.02 | zak | lurgy: just so long as you play the olympic theme, then we won't notice ^_^ |
| 03:26.05 | zak | lol! |
| 03:26.11 | zak | ok, you don't have too |
| 03:26.13 | CIA-6 | navi-misc: 03micah * r5110 10hdr/pcb/ (5 files): Rerouted the LED matrix to leave more room after determining that the traces didn't need to be as thick as I though they did. Placed and routed all row drive transistors and power resistors. |
| 03:26.15 | lurgy | hehe |
| 03:31.45 | zak | Cae: 30 min |
| 03:33.13 | lurgy | i hear eating some really greasy fried chicken makes it easier to play when you're drunk |
| 03:33.21 | lurgy | maybe Cae can figure out a way to do that on KoL |
| 03:33.25 | hardwire | yy |
| 03:33.27 | hardwire | rther |
| 03:33.29 | hardwire | yay |
| 03:33.29 | lurgy | hardwire needs to be on KoL too |
| 03:33.31 | hardwire | bluetooth keyboard |
| 03:33.33 | lurgy | hehe |
| 03:33.35 | lurgy | mmm |
| 03:33.36 | hardwire | working flawlessly in stock debian 2.6.8 |
| 03:33.36 | lurgy | bluetooth |
| 03:33.38 | hardwire | KoL? |
| 03:33.45 | lurgy | kingdomofloathing.com |
| 03:33.50 | hardwire | Krime of Luv? |
| 03:34.05 | lurgy | heh, sure.. |
| 03:34.06 | lurgy | no |
| 03:34.08 | hardwire | all this for nothing really |
| 03:34.08 | lurgy | :) |
| 03:34.13 | hardwire | they keyboard is to chiklety |
| 03:34.18 | hardwire | my nails are too long |
| 03:36.00 | lurgy | too clickety? |
| 03:36.02 | lurgy | impossible! |
| 03:38.03 | lurgy | uh oh sounds like purple_cow gets to listen to some boring etudes now |
| 03:38.06 | lurgy | i hear banging |
| 03:40.49 | scanline | he's making dinner |
| 03:41.19 | merlin262 | howdy everyone! |
| 03:41.36 | Cae | ChipX86: please for the love of god put some sort of download completed thing |
| 03:42.28 | merlin262 | i have a confession to make: |
| 03:42.35 | merlin262 | I played around on AOL |
| 03:42.36 | hardwire | yer a chick |
| 03:42.51 | merlin262 | *hangs head in shame* |
| 03:43.10 | Cae | you're not even a chick |
| 03:43.14 | Cae | you're a bimbo |
| 03:43.24 | hardwire | who? |
| 03:43.50 | Cae | merlin262. AOL. why? for the love of broadband, why?? |
| 03:43.52 | merlin262 | I have another, far worse, confession |
| 03:43.55 | ChipX86 | Cae: for what? |
| 03:44.04 | Cae | downloads in gaim |
| 03:44.07 | ChipX86 | oh |
| 03:44.08 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 03:44.24 | ChipX86 | I was on AOL |
| 03:44.42 | ChipX86 | back before it had internet access |
| 03:44.42 | lurgy | yay back |
| 03:44.48 | lurgy | and.. E major is a terrible key |
| 03:44.48 | Cae | I was on AOL back when it didn't take 58mb of ram |
| 03:44.51 | lurgy | fyi |
| 03:45.00 | merlin262 | Here goes: |
| 03:45.07 | ChipX86 | I remember when it moved from being a DOS program to a Windows program |
| 03:45.15 | merlin262 | I thought, dayum, if only linux users had something like this |
| 03:45.29 | merlin262 | and now, I'm doomed to geek hell |
| 03:45.32 | ChipX86 | I agree with merlin262 |
| 03:45.44 | ChipX86 | however. |
| 03:45.48 | ChipX86 | AOL bad |
| 03:45.51 | Cae | it's a damned memory hog |
| 03:46.06 | ChipX86 | something more universal, some kind of ISP-neutral happy program would be good, *if* done right |
| 03:46.10 | ChipX86 | big if |
| 03:46.27 | merlin262 | ChipX86: I was thinking the same thing |
| 03:46.31 | ChipX86 | and now, for my next trick, I'm going to watch TV |
| 03:46.38 | ChipX86 | I wonder if the laundry rooms are open.. |
| 03:46.52 | kergoth | bleh |
| 03:47.08 | scanline | woo.. these MOSFETs can handle quite a bit of peak current at low duty cycles, so I can use a much smaller one than I was expecting |
| 03:47.15 | ChipX86 | remind me to buy a TV for this room |
| 03:48.31 | merlin262 | ChipX86: it could be done |
| 03:48.36 | merlin262 | for linux even |
| 03:48.46 | merlin262 | I HAVE A DREAM! |
| 03:48.59 | kergoth | ~smack2 merlin262 |
| 03:49.01 | jbot | ACTION beats the living hamstercrap out of merlin262. |
| 03:49.05 | ChipX86 | yeah, I attempted that dream. Twice. |
| 03:49.08 | purple_cow | ChipX86: buy a tv for that room |
| 03:49.23 | merlin262 | ChipX86: details?!?! |
| 03:49.31 | merlin262 | you attempted an AOL clone? |
| 03:49.47 | ChipX86 | not neecessarily, but something better than what we have |
| 03:50.09 | ChipX86 | when Netscape 3 came out, I said screw it and wrote a clietn and server that I had hoped at such an early age (ah, innocence) would replace the web |
| 03:50.16 | ChipX86 | I had wacky ideas |
| 03:50.20 | ChipX86 | like pages having icons |
| 03:50.25 | ChipX86 | multiple tabs in the browser |
| 03:50.28 | ChipX86 | customizable tags |
| 03:50.33 | ChipX86 | dynamic objects |
| 03:50.40 | ChipX86 | apps integrating into it |
| 03:50.47 | file[laptop] | dreams are useless |
| 03:50.49 | ChipX86 | so you could, frmo a webpage, create a sort of application |
| 03:51.00 | ChipX86 | and do things in a AOL-like way, if desired |
| 03:51.05 | merlin262 | sounds like you where thinking ahead of your time. :) |
| 03:51.16 | ChipX86 | but the idea was one central program for all internet needs, with something better than HTML |
| 03:51.43 | ChipX86 | I actually wrote this, btw, and it worked, to a degree. Not all of the scriptability was there, but the custom tags and all were. It would auto-download and verify tags from the site if provided |
| 03:52.04 | ChipX86 | it was all Java-based |
| 03:52.56 | hardwire | whats a good bluetooth card for the zaurus? |
| 03:53.07 | merlin262 | ChipX86: sounds cool |
| 03:53.19 | merlin262 | ChipX86: I had something more simple in mind |
| 03:53.29 | ChipX86 | nod |
| 03:53.29 | merlin262 | like taking textux.com and making a web portal |
| 03:53.35 | scanline | heh |
| 03:53.37 | ChipX86 | I made things complex at the time. Still do, I guess.. |
| 03:53.41 | scanline | yay, another web portal |
| 03:53.44 | scanline | I love web portals :P |
| 03:54.03 | merlin262 | I don't have any money to do it tho. :( |
| 03:54.05 | merlin262 | *sighs* |
| 03:54.08 | merlin262 | all is lost! |
| 03:54.11 | ChipX86 | money never stoped me |
| 03:54.22 | kergoth | web portals never cease to annoy the hell out of me |
| 03:56.27 | ChipX86 | bbs |
| 03:59.30 | lurgy | :) |
| 03:59.38 | lurgy | if it were only less slow |
| 03:59.42 | lurgy | i'd be even happier |
| 03:59.45 | rioter | phpnuke is really good! |
| 03:59.53 | merlin262 | kergoth: why? |
| 03:59.57 | lurgy | less slow, and better laid-out, at any rate |
| 04:00.01 | lurgy | but it is useful |
| 04:00.05 | lurgy | which is pretty surprising |
| 04:00.10 | lurgy | as purple_cow said :) |
| 04:00.22 | kergoth | because what i want is never there. |
| 04:00.23 | purple_cow | paddy, paddy, who's been wearing miranda's clothes? |
| 04:00.32 | kergoth | and an additional layer of indirection just makes me more inefficient |
| 04:00.36 | merlin262 | ChipX86: actually, I was thinking of something more along the lines of sherlock |
| 04:00.38 | kergoth | and inefficiency pisses me off |
| 04:00.47 | Cae | how the hell do I get openoffice to just fucking divide two numbers and give me a decimal? |
| 04:01.19 | Cae | gnumeric's not installed |
| 04:01.26 | Cae | and I want to do it for two rows |
| 04:01.50 | purple_cow | have you tried =A1/B1 |
| 04:01.53 | purple_cow | or something similar? |
| 04:02.18 | Cae | yes |
| 04:02.25 | lurgy | yay it's a gtk+ metronome |
| 04:03.13 | purple_cow | yay, potatoes are done |
| 04:03.22 | Cae | fucking lack of divide-by-zero support |
| 04:03.25 | merlin262 | yes, sherlock for linux |
| 04:03.29 | merlin262 | I'm loving this idea |
| 04:03.37 | merlin262 | done in python of course. :D |
| 04:04.50 | merlin262 | what's the matter kergoth? |
| 04:04.58 | merlin262 | I'm too schizo to have one software project... |
| 04:04.58 | merlin262 | hehe |
| 04:05.20 | kergoth | dunno, not depressed persay, but unmotivated, dissatisfied, and mopey |
| 04:07.32 | *** join/#tacobeam SecretMethod70 (SecretMeth@c-24-12-144-155.client.comcast.net) |

| 04:12.14 | gonkulator | doh |
| 04:13.05 | kergoth | ~emulate ash |
| 04:13.06 | jbot | Gimme some sugar, baby! |
| 04:13.13 | gonkulator | oh yeah |
| 04:13.45 | scanline | gonkulator: I got the LCD ;) |
| 04:13.53 | gonkulator | scanline: cool, I'll keep my laptops |
| 04:14.30 | scanline | it's weird seeing such high power transistors in such tiny packages |
| 04:14.40 | scanline | hooray for modern semiconductor processes |
| 04:15.32 | laodamas | scanline: now if they only were in hobbyist friendly packages... |
| 04:16.00 | laodamas | or affordable dev kits |
| 04:16.05 | scanline | SO-8 is plenty hobbyist friendly |
| 04:16.28 | scanline | these things are *huge* compared to a lot of packages, and when only three pins matter they're easy to solder |
| 04:16.31 | laodamas | oh, thats not bad at all |
| 04:16.46 | scanline | we had some really tiny MOSFETs at work, but they were still solderable |
| 04:17.23 | kergoth | gah! |
| 04:17.26 | laodamas | or a toaster oven |
| 04:17.29 | kergoth | i wish the beep media player would hate me less |
| 04:17.32 | scanline | laodamas: this is turning out to be quite a strange board |
| 04:18.01 | laodamas | scanline: how so? (which board is this?) |
| 04:18.13 | scanline | laodamas: active backlight for a high dynamic range LCD :) |
| 04:18.27 | laodamas | ah |
| 04:18.28 | scanline | laodamas: 288 LEDs and 35 transistors per board, three boards total |
| 04:19.00 | laodamas | blinkenlights reloaded? |
| 04:19.17 | scanline | sort of, but much better |
| 04:19.31 | scanline | they're all white LEDs that form a high dynamic range but low resolution image on the back of the LCD |
| 04:19.41 | scanline | then the LCD modulates that further to give you a color high-res HDR image |
