| 00:48.28 | ChipX86 | wooo! |
| 00:48.31 | ChipX86 | we're going to get cake soon! |
| 00:48.37 | ChipX86 | this will be 4 this week |
| 00:48.58 | purple_cow | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:49.18 | ChipX86 | Jocelyn's birthday is coming up, so we're going to throw a surprise party tomorrow |
| 00:50.31 | *** join/#tacobeam Patlabor221 (~JeffM@Patlabor221.active.supporter.pdpc) |
| 00:53.11 | kergoth | nice |
| 00:53.27 | scanline | ooh |
| 00:54.35 | purple_cow | heh |
| 00:54.42 | scanline | we should glue one of these to the cieling and automatically detect when the people upstairs are playing DDR :P |
| 00:55.20 | purple_cow | i'm pretty good at detecting that on my own |
| 00:55.21 | ToyKeeper | altoid.. accelerometer? |
| 00:55.49 | scanline | ToyKeeper: picture an altoids box with an antenna sticking out, that's actually a 3-axis wireless accelerometer |
| 00:55.59 | ToyKeeper | Curiously sensitive, eh? |
| 00:56.02 | scanline | yep :) |
| 00:56.06 | scanline | also really cheap |
| 00:56.11 | scanline | built almost entirely with free samples |
| 00:56.13 | ToyKeeper | I want one. :) |
| 00:56.33 | ToyKeeper | I'd probably use a penguinmint tin though, since I have some of those laying around. |
| 00:56.54 | scanline | sparkfun sells something like this, but if you're in the mood for a lot of surface mount soldering it's cheaper to build one out of free samples |
| 00:57.26 | scanline | two analog devices iMEMS accelerometers, a nice fast 16-bit 8-channel A/D, some op-amps, a little 8-pin PIC and an off the shelf 916.5MHz transmitter |
| 01:01.09 | ToyKeeper | I'm not very good at precision soldering. Sounds like a fun project though. |
| 01:01.51 | scanline | I should have taken a picture of the little sensor package |
| 01:01.53 | scanline | it's a nightmare inside |
| 01:01.54 | ToyKeeper | I've been wanting to write an accelerometer-based motion tracker for quite a while, though. |
| 01:02.02 | scanline | now it's gooped over with epoxy and sealed in a metal box |
| 01:02.08 | ToyKeeper | I just haven't had a sensor to use. ;P |
| 01:02.21 | scanline | the ADXL311 (IIRC) from Analog Devices is nice, and they do free samples |
| 01:02.37 | scanline | if you don't want to solder them yourself, various places sell fairly cheap breakout boards |
| 01:03.05 | CIA-7 | navi-misc: 03micah * r6026 10rfaccel/TODO: Some ideas, before I forget them |
| 01:03.31 | scanline | whee.. finally bought myself some vice grips |
| 01:04.47 | ToyKeeper | I made quite a mess last time I tried to solder small pieces: http://toykeeper.net/ipaq/gfx/solder.jpg |
| 01:05.05 | scanline | hehe |
| 01:06.11 | laodamas|away | scanline: mind if I come up and visit this 'eve? Will people be around? |
| 01:06.23 | purple_cow | lurgy will prolly be back sometime |
| 01:06.38 | scanline | I'll be here |
| 01:06.40 | laodamas|away | fun fun |
| 01:06.50 | scanline | woo, firefox add in the new york times |
| 01:07.37 | ChipX86 | yep |
| 01:07.43 | ChipX86 | I should have donated |
| 01:09.04 | scanline | http://www.mozillastore.com/products/stuff/firefoxplushtoy |
| 01:09.05 | scanline | =D |
| 01:09.32 | ChipX86 | nice |
| 01:09.39 | scanline | that mug looks awful nice too |
| 01:09.49 | ChipX86 | hehy |
| 01:09.51 | ChipX86 | -y |
| 01:10.02 | scanline | you can *never* have too many mugs |
| 01:10.06 | scanline | especially in this apartment |
| 01:10.38 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:10.55 | scanline | purple_cow: these radio receivers could double as good entropy sources for the kernel when nothing is transmitting :P |
| 01:11.19 | purple_cow | heh |
| 01:12.18 | purple_cow | speaking of mugs... |
| 01:12.51 | scanline | ooh yes... |
| 01:17.14 | purple_cow | hmm, 6 minutes for 6 rounds |
| 01:17.16 | purple_cow | this is doable |
| 01:20.39 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:20.46 | scanline | these therms are probably going to need a somewhat long antenna |
| 01:21.29 | scanline | the data sheet recommends 30-35cm.. though with the right protocol and conditions we could probably get away with a shorter one on the transmitter |
| 01:24.21 | scanline | :) |
| 01:24.33 | ChipX86 | he will eat you for lunch, spit you out, and then eat you again for dinner |
| 01:24.38 | purple_cow | probably |
| 01:24.58 | ChipX86 | did you get the beta 2 e-mail yet, scanline? |
| 01:25.14 | scanline | doesn't look like it |
| 01:25.20 | ChipX86 | hrm. |
| 01:27.39 | scanline | fuck you mutt, do you really have to read the headers for every single message first? |
| 01:27.56 | ToyKeeper | grepmail. |
| 01:28.05 | scanline | sounds interesting |
| 01:28.29 | scanline | that still doesn't solve mutt's awful slowness :( |
| 01:28.42 | scanline | I should really get an imap server set up on navi to be friendly with my maildirs so that I can use evolution |
| 01:29.38 | purple_cow | yep, he's tough |
| 01:29.39 | ToyKeeper | imap/maildir are pretty neat. Evolution is pretty, but not the right style for me. |
| 01:30.16 | scanline | I like mutt, but I want to at least try evolution |
| 01:30.20 | ToyKeeper | Then again, I use about 20 different programs for email. |
| 01:30.28 | scanline | hopefully I'll like it, and be able to set something up so I can use evo at home but still ssh in and use mutt |
| 01:31.48 | ToyKeeper | courier is a decent imap/pop server, btw. I'm using it (and postfix/procmail/dspam) on my mail server. |
| 01:32.36 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:32.50 | ToyKeeper | I need to add clamav to that mix, but haven't gotten around to it. |
| 01:33.10 | scanline | these 315MHz receivers are a lot more different from the 916MHz ones than I would have thought |
| 01:33.12 | ToyKeeper | Oh, er, and I set up squirrelmail for my users, along with a custom imap-based dspam correction script. |
| 01:33.19 | scanline | yay squirrel |
| 01:35.18 | ToyKeeper | People are finally using dspam properly; I guess the forward-based corrector was too complicated, but they seem to like being abl |
| 01:35.24 | ToyKeeper | e dangit. |
| 01:35.33 | ToyKeeper | cat |
| 01:36.37 | ToyKeeper | ... he's trying to get milk from my eyebrow. |
| 01:37.13 | scanline | does that usually work? |
| 01:37.46 | scanline | pph |
| 01:37.48 | scanline | er, ooh |
| 01:37.59 | scanline | these 315MHz boards are a lot less noiseful at low data rates than the 916MHz boards |
| 01:42.26 | scanline | oooh |
| 01:42.34 | scanline | what's that wireless applet on Bryan Clark's blog entry? I want it |
| 01:43.53 | purple_cow | isn't that NetworkManager? |
| 01:44.48 | scanline | wow |
| 01:45.04 | scanline | if I transmit the right serial data through the 315MHz modules, I get clicks and odd beeps on my speakers |
| 01:45.05 | scanline | yay FCC |
| 01:45.16 | kergoth | fun |
| 01:45.48 | scanline | micah@yoshi ~ $ hexdump /dev/urandom > /dev/usb/tts/0 |
| 01:45.52 | scanline | ^ that sounds like a blender =D |
| 01:46.10 | kergoth | hah |
| 01:46.13 | scanline | wow |
| 01:46.22 | scanline | same volume no matter what the knob on my amp is set to |
| 01:46.35 | scanline | well, gets louder if I touch the antenna |
| 01:47.34 | scanline | ooh, I can play tones |
| 01:47.36 | scanline | >:) |
| 01:49.22 | scanline | hmm |
| 01:49.27 | purple_cow | at least this isn't as bad as your network driver that could play ringtones |
| 01:49.30 | scanline | :) |
| 01:49.52 | scanline | I think this might actually be interference travelling through the ground line back into the sound card via my machine's USB port |
| 01:49.59 | scanline | hard to tell though |
| 01:50.09 | scanline | definitely acts like RF interference |
| 01:52.05 | ChipX86 | users need to not IM me with the intention of being able to tell their friends they talked to a gaim developer. |
| 01:52.22 | ChipX86 | it's like some stupid fake status thing |
| 01:52.37 | kergoth | hehe |

| 01:54.12 | ChipX86 | haha |
| 01:54.23 | scanline | first it was cool, now I'm getting annoyed by hearing all the data I'm sending :P |

| 01:59.19 | purple_cow | scanline: so we're getting ready to watch far too much b5 |

| 01:59.45 | scanline | I should set up a way to hook this transmitter up to my laptop, for some range testing |
| 01:59.58 | ToyKeeper | You should sell admission 3-packs. |
| 02:00.37 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 02:00.48 | *** topic/#tacobeam by purple_cow -> This channel contains real Gaim, OpenEmbedded, XChat-GNOME and ZSNES developers! Admission $11 (students $15) |
| 02:00.50 | scanline | it's so weird having absolutely no volume control over this at all :P |
| 02:02.39 | purple_cow | scanline: we're starting now, if you're interested |
| 02:03.00 | scanline | ok. I might as well work on my laptop's 802.11 some more |
| 02:16.45 | kergoth | yay home |
| 02:31.18 | purple_cow | guh @ "yay humanity" episodes |
| 02:32.24 | scanline | bleh. If I can prove that this is a problem with the card rather than PCMCIA support in general, I'm returning this card and ordering an orinoco |
| 02:32.39 | scanline | if it's a problem with PCMCIA support and this new kernel doesn't fix it, I'm tempted to go to FC or gentoo |
| 02:32.57 | scanline | ubuntu makes it way too hard to mess with the kernel |
| 02:33.03 | scanline | too many crappy initrd tricks |
| 02:36.59 | scanline | boing |
| 03:14.49 | ChipX86 | yay home |
| 03:15.05 | ChipX86 | and very much boo for the present for Jamie not coming... getting unhappy here |
| 03:17.36 | file[laptop] | bad ChipX86, no unhappiness for you! |
| 03:22.07 | purple_cow | bad cortado! |
| 03:38.39 | purple_cow | oh scanline! |
| 03:54.41 | ChipX86 | *sigh* |
| 03:54.50 | ChipX86 | girls work on a totally different level than us.. |
| 03:55.11 | file[laptop] | very true |
| 03:55.58 | ChipX86 | Jamie got a little uncomfortable with the idea of us becoming more than friends this fast, and wants to take a step back. Still wants to be in a relationship, but down the line just a bit, but still spend as much time together as we can and hope to build that up again |
| 03:56.39 | ChipX86 | so, she wants to be friends for now, with the goal to be more once we have a basis for the relationship, which makes sense, but bah |
| 04:02.36 | CIA-7 | galago: 03chipx86 * r1454 10libgalago/ (9 files in 2 dirs): Moved object-specific DBUS-related defines into the respective objects' header files. |
| 04:03.20 | kergoth | ChipX86: sounds like she's just scared. |
| 04:03.26 | ChipX86 | yeah, I think so too |
| 04:03.32 | ChipX86 | but, she doesn't want to cancel any of our plans |
| 04:03.45 | ChipX86 | christmas is going as scheduled, my birthday celebration, and she also planned something else for us to do |
| 04:04.21 | ChipX86 | so fortunately, it's not like she's saying "I just want to be friends," it's more of a "let's build a friendship and work our way toward a stable relationship" |
| 04:04.58 | darth_mall | neat... got a copy of FF7 for pc off of bit torrent |
| 04:05.35 | ChipX86 | she's also not entirely sure if she's over-reacting yet |
| 04:05.52 | ChipX86 | I just found out that she hasn't had a boyfriend since highschool, and that wasn't even a very long relationship I guess |
| 04:06.06 | darth_mall | ChipX86: it's ok, you're too cute to pass up ^^ |
| 04:06.07 | ChipX86 | she's very nervous and shy about this |
| 04:06.14 | ChipX86 | no.. |
| 04:33.08 | darth_mall | if I fall asleep the hurricane's gonna sneak up on me and give me a vasectomy |
| 04:33.43 | darth_mall | rofl |
| 04:33.44 | nullpuppy | uh oh |
| 04:33.47 | darth_mall | this episode is so good |
| 04:38.00 | CIA-7 | galago: 03chipx86 * r1455 10libgalago/ (ChangeLog libgalago/galago-value.c libgalago/galago-value.h): Simplified the GalagoValue code a bit. Rather than defining a whole bunch of functions manually, we now automate it with macros. |

| 04:51.18 | lurgy | yay some more |
| 04:53.08 | ChipX86 | I feel all bummed.. and hungry. I should eat |
| 04:54.09 | ChipX86 | oh yeah, I have a cookie |
| 04:54.16 | darth_mall | purple_cow: would mind the few plants that aren't dead while I"m gone? |
| 04:54.28 | darth_mall | just the non-dead one next to the stairs, the one behind the couch and the two on the window |
| 04:54.44 | purple_cow | darth_mall: yeah |
| 04:56.19 | lurgy | hurray water |

| 06:36.49 | rioter | you can come to this party with me |
| 06:37.21 | ChipX86 | I'm in no mood for a party |
| 06:37.29 | darth_mall | ooh... looks like scanline is having fun with ubuntu |
| 06:37.39 | rioter | free alcohol |
| 06:37.42 | darth_mall | ooooh |
| 06:37.43 | ChipX86 | I don't like alcohol |
| 06:37.44 | darth_mall | I'm in! |
| 06:37.48 | kergoth | me too |
| 06:37.55 | darth_mall | ChipX86: that's just cuz you haven't had enough ;) |
| 06:38.03 | ChipX86 | *shrug* |
| 06:38.06 | darth_mall | =D |
| 06:38.09 | kergoth | speaking of which, a glass of excellent scotch sounds very good right now |
| 06:38.15 | rioter | mmm dont like alcohol, ive heard of people like you, i thought it was just a story my mum told me to make me be nice |
| 06:38.31 | darth_mall | rioter: nope, they do exist |
| 06:38.47 | rioter | just like santa exists? |
| 06:38.54 | darth_mall | yup |
| 06:39.03 | ChipX86 | there needs to be something good on TV. I'm paying way too much to have nothing but crappy shows on |
| 06:39.08 | darth_mall | and the Easter Bunny and Jack Skellington |
| 06:39.19 | purple_cow | yay jack skellington! |
| 06:39.26 | darth_mall | purple_cow: the droopy plant on the window may be dead =( |
| 06:39.28 | kergoth | i should do something. |
| 06:39.40 | darth_mall | if you can revive it I'll love you, but I think it finally kicked |
| 06:39.52 | darth_mall | ugh... 14 hour flight tomorrow =( |
| 06:39.54 | purple_cow | darth_mall: yeah, it's not looking good |
| 06:39.55 | darth_mall | but yay Paris |
| 06:40.11 | rioter | paris isnt as good as it looks in the movies |
| 06:40.28 | darth_mall | so everyone needs a copy of America The Book by Jon Stewart |
| 06:40.33 | darth_mall | I bought it today, and it's damn funny |
| 06:40.41 | darth_mall | he made like a goddamn text book =D |
| 06:40.48 | darth_mall | s/made/made it/ |
| 06:40.57 | darth_mall | it's too funny |
| 06:42.07 | rioter | will a borderline alcoholic australian enjoy it? |
| 06:42.10 | ChipX86 | yay, a really crappy batman movie |
| 06:44.23 | lurgy | ChipX86: you'd better not be talking about the 1966 Batman starring Adam west |
| 06:44.35 | lurgy | cuz that's the best superhero film ever |
| 06:44.37 | ChipX86 | nope, Batman Forever |
| 06:45.21 | lurgy | oh |
| 06:45.22 | lurgy | whew |
| 06:45.29 | lurgy | good |
| 06:46.29 | CIA-7 | openembedded: 03kergoth 07 * r1.2671 10openembedded/conf/local.conf.sample: Clarify the example BBFILES in local.conf.sample a bit. |
| 06:47.10 | darth_mall | rioter: I think most people will |
| 06:47.12 | darth_mall | especially lurgy |
| 06:47.24 | darth_mall | ChipX86: yup, that is a crappy one |
| 06:47.50 | darth_mall | almost as crappy as Batman And Robin |
| 06:48.04 | ChipX86 | almost |
| 06:48.29 | kergoth | mmmm |
| 06:48.31 | kergoth | scotch |
| 06:48.49 | kergoth | only have two kinds in the house, need to buy more Oban |
| 06:49.07 | ChipX86 | what does scotch taste like? |
| 06:49.29 | kergoth | its a type of whiskey |
| 06:49.31 | kergoth | single malt |
| 06:49.48 | ChipX86 | never had whiskey |
| 06:49.58 | kergoth | then its hard to describe |
| 06:52.15 | ChipX86 | must find my happy place |
| 06:52.30 | kergoth | bah |
| 06:52.44 | ChipX86 | my happy place partially requires that I find sometihng on tv that doesn't suck |
| 06:53.18 | ChipX86 | which reminds me, I need to call DirecTV. They aren't letting me log in to change my subscription to something less than $80/month |
| 06:53.44 | ChipX86 | hmm that's a good idea |
| 06:58.04 | lurgy | uh oh lurgy |
| 06:58.25 | kergoth | potato cannon! fun |

| 07:32.54 | kergoth | its amazing how some of their stuff is so good, and the rest is so very bad |
| 07:34.46 | kergoth | bleh, shoudlk probably sleep |
