| 00:20.47 | darth_mall | uhoh.... new person |
| 00:21.01 | kergoth | heh |
| 00:21.06 | file | how do they find us?!? |
| 00:26.38 | darth_mall | she's got everything I need, pharmacy keys, she acts just like a nurse with all the other guys |
| 00:29.21 | ToyKeeper | Hmm. |
| 00:29.36 | ToyKeeper | Can I get the zim database jbot uses? :) |
| 00:30.17 | ToyKeeper | That could make a fun grammar for madlib. ( http://toykeeper.net/programs/mad/ ) |
| 00:31.21 | darth_mall | ToyKeeper: I don't think it's that big |
| 00:31.28 | darth_mall | he only knows like 4 things, I think |
| 00:31.37 | darth_mall | ~literal emulate zim |
| 00:31.38 | jbot | "emulate zim" is "<reply> my SPINE! || <reply> worse... or _better_? || <reply> I am a _perfectly_ normal human worm baby || <reply> THE DIB! HE'S MISSING! THEY'VE TAKEN HIM AND DRAINED HIM OF HIS _sweet sweet blood candies_ || <reply> THE CANDY ZOMBIES! || <reply> It's like you said! They try to end the hunger for sweetness.. in their.. RUMBLING.. UNDEAD.. ... |
| 00:31.45 | ToyKeeper | Oh. Okay. |
| 00:32.49 | ToyKeeper | I suppose I could, if motivated, just record a script for zim... then grep for each character and feed the results into babble. |
| 00:33.16 | ToyKeeper | The bit about writing down the script, though.. yuck. |
| 00:33.24 | darth_mall | yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuck |
| 00:33.43 | darth_mall | wise like old ham |
| 00:38.08 | *** part/#tacobeam rrittenhouse (~Tad@dhcp31162192.columbus.rr.com) |
| 00:45.55 | darth_mall | oooooold ham |
| 00:47.57 | darth_mall | scanline: whatcha doin... |
| 00:48.42 | scanline | playing with high voltage |
| 00:48.54 | darth_mall | yay! |
| 00:49.00 | nullpuppy | oh! fun! |
| 00:49.00 | scanline | (if you come in to my room, don't touch anything :P) |
| 00:49.07 | darth_mall | you should do that to Rich! |
| 00:50.43 | scanline | damn these tubes are bright |
| 00:51.19 | scanline | I should get a big plexiglass sheet to mount this on |
| 00:51.33 | scanline | you know anywhere local I could get one? mcguckins only has tiny ones, and they're overpriced |
| 00:51.38 | scanline | I'd bet home depot would... |
| 00:52.07 | nullpuppy | how big do you want? |
| 00:52.09 | darth_mall | hooooooooooome despot! |
| 00:52.46 | scanline | nullpuppy: about 15 by 12 inches or so |
| 00:53.01 | scanline | big enough for a 15" LCD panel and some circuitry along the edges >:) |
| 00:53.10 | nullpuppy | hmm |
| 00:53.12 | nullpuppy | cool :) |
| 00:53.29 | scanline | I just took the backlight off of an off-the-shelf 15" LCD panel |
| 00:53.34 | nullpuppy | around here.. i think we have 18"x12" for like... $10 or so.. something like that... |
| 00:53.42 | scanline | yeah, that's about what I'd expect |
| 00:53.45 | nullpuppy | haha, cool :) |
| 00:54.16 | scanline | so I have the whole thing operating on my desk.. the panel is quite dark, but still visibly working.. and the two CCFL tubes are sitting by the high voltage power supply and being all blinding and stuff |
| 00:54.33 | scanline | I still need to either get a data sheet for this panel or reverse engineer it though :( |
| 00:54.48 | nullpuppy | :/ what are you doing exactly? |
| 00:54.52 | scanline | ideally I'd be able to ditch all the existing control electronics and wire this up to an FPGA |
| 00:54.56 | scanline | high dynamic range display |
| 00:55.25 | nullpuppy | hmm, ok |
| 00:55.26 | scanline | basically taking an off-the-shelf LCD and giving it an active backlight (lots of white LEDs) then using some signal processing to use both LEDs and LCD to reconstruct an HDR image |
| 00:55.29 | darth_mall | I wish I were a segfault |
| 00:55.33 | darth_mall | I'd go around segfault scanline all the time |
| 00:55.44 | nullpuppy | ahh, neat |
| 00:55.48 | ChipX86 | ooh, I can play bzflag now |
| 00:56.04 | scanline | so I have these two extra CCFL tubes I won't be needing >:) |
| 00:56.47 | scanline | I need to reverse engineer the signals going between the power supply / inverter board and the image processing board... then I can power the image processing board without this giant mess of inductors, and I can maybe use the power supply board in another project later |
| 00:58.36 | scanline | if I really need to, I could use the LCD's image processing board as-is.. but then I'd need DACs to hook it up to the FPGA |
| 01:03.14 | ToyKeeper | I found a script for the zim pilot... and made madlib data files for zim/dib/gir. |
| 01:03.20 | ToyKeeper | Must find more scripts. :) |
| 01:04.11 | ToyKeeper | I should really finish writing the integrated, python version of babble. |
| 01:05.02 | ToyKeeper | Then I can integrate it all into an xchat script or something, and easily imitate anyone on IRC. :) |
| 01:05.13 | ToyKeeper | (or, in this case, imitate zim characters) |
| 01:07.21 | ChipX86 | I miss suprnova |
| 01:08.06 | nullpuppy | its working fine here... |
| 01:08.11 | ChipX86 | really? hm |
| 01:08.22 | ChipX86 | "The connection was refused" |
| 01:08.35 | nullpuppy | hmm, i just got to it |
| 01:08.36 | ChipX86 | worked this morning |
| 01:09.13 | ChipX86 | works from home too |
| 01:09.15 | ChipX86 | wonderful. |
| 01:09.22 | ChipX86 | my IP is blocked it seems :P |
| 01:09.46 | nullpuppy | that sucks |
