| 00:52.32 | pagefault | ugh |
| 00:52.33 | pagefault | haha |
| 00:52.48 | pagefault | we should have gone to the one in the mall |
| 00:53.09 | file[laptop] | well you were the one driving |
| 00:53.18 | pagefault | I forgot there was another one though |
| 00:53.21 | file[laptop] | I was the one running off no food that day :P |
| 00:53.48 | file[laptop] | what's terminal 3 like btw |

| 01:01.59 | pagefault | oh yay |
| 01:02.05 | pagefault | funny movie for MTV though |
| 01:02.07 | pagefault | err |
| 01:02.09 | pagefault | not MTV, YTV |
| 01:02.09 | pagefault | hehe |
| 01:02.27 | file[laptop] | hehe sorta |
| 01:02.36 | pagefault | isn't there swearing in this? |
| 01:02.42 | pagefault | lets see if YTV filters |
| 01:02.44 | file[laptop] | they probably cut it out |
| 01:02.57 | pagefault | when they showed beetlejuice they didn't cut the only word in the movie |
| 01:03.55 | pagefault | ah |
| 01:03.56 | file[laptop] | it's sensored |
| 01:03.57 | pagefault | they did edit it |
| 01:04.02 | file[laptop] | er censored |

| 01:08.10 | pagefault | ? |
| 01:08.18 | file[laptop] | it'll come on later in the movie |

| 01:17.59 | nullpuppy | file[laptop]: jOSH! |
| 01:18.24 | file[laptop] | hi hi hi |
| 01:18.40 | nullpuppy | wuzzup? |
| 01:18.57 | file[laptop] | oh nothin', you? |
| 01:19.15 | nullpuppy | same, just got home from work |
| 01:19.21 | file[laptop] | boo |
| 01:23.33 | scanlime | sigh.. I think I get to poke around in nvtv internals now |
| 01:23.41 | file[laptop] | uh oh |
| 01:23.42 | scanlime | why is it so freaking annoying to connect an HDTV to a computer? |
| 01:40.45 | scanlime | I haven't been able to get DVI the slightest bit working, other than retrieving monitor info over DDC |
| 01:40.52 | scanlime | component video works, but so far only in windows |
| 01:41.06 | scanlime | and I'm nowhere close to a 1:1 pixel mapping, even after tweaking the timings |
| 01:41.26 | scanlime | still.. even with the extra unnececesary scaling step, DVDs look mighty good :) |
| 01:41.46 | scanlime | but it just kills a black & white checkerboard pattern |
| 01:44.59 | pagefault | hehe |
| 01:45.11 | pagefault | it's easy in windows anyway |
| 01:45.20 | pagefault | haven't tried to do it outside windows |
| 01:45.36 | pagefault | in windows all I do is select the 720p or 1080i resolution and enable tv out |
| 01:45.42 | pagefault | and it automagically works |
| 01:47.26 | scanlime | pagefault: with a 1:1 pixel mapping? |
| 01:47.32 | pagefault | yeah |
| 01:47.46 | scanlime | that's handy. what kind of video card and TV? |
| 01:47.49 | pagefault | at least in DVI mode |
| 01:47.52 | scanlime | ah |
| 01:47.59 | scanlime | well DVI is easy like that, when it works at all :P |
| 01:47.59 | pagefault | I use component video mostly |
| 01:48.28 | scanlime | the Pinnacle Showcenter 1000 looks great.. even does MPEG4, Xvid, AVI... but it doesn't seem to have progressive scan output :( |
| 01:48.57 | pagefault | :( |
| 01:49.34 | scanlime | oh, maybe their web site just missed that.. reviews mention 480p support |
| 01:49.35 | pagefault | hmm |
| 01:49.48 | pagefault | it would be pretty weird if it didn't support the progressive modes |
| 01:49.52 | scanlime | nod |
| 01:50.28 | scanlime | ah well.. I'd really like to have a real home theater PC, but if this fails I can always take back the video card and spend about $100 more to get a real set-top box thingy |
| 01:50.54 | scanlime | or keep the video card... I could use an upgrade for my desktop :) |
| 01:51.05 | pagefault | hehe |
| 01:51.11 | pagefault | I have the X700 in my HTPC |
| 01:51.13 | pagefault | PCI express |
| 01:51.26 | scanlime | I'm not fancy enough for PCI express yet |
| 01:51.28 | pagefault | but don't expect that to work well in linux :) |
| 01:51.48 | scanlime | well, it wouldn't be impossible to run this HTPC in windows.. but lots harder |
| 01:52.51 | pagefault | yeah |
| 01:53.32 | scanlime | I was using windows media player to watch firefly earlier |
| 01:53.37 | scanlime | it was kind of stuttery |
| 01:53.53 | scanlime | might have been a disk DMA issue, but I have no idea how to check that in windows and it didn't seem to be anywhere obvious |
| 01:54.07 | pagefault | it's in system, under device manager |
| 01:54.09 | scanlime | I just want mplayer :( |
| 01:54.11 | scanlime | I looked there |
| 01:54.12 | pagefault | and click properties on the disk controller in question |
| 01:54.12 | scanlime | :P |
| 01:54.24 | pagefault | windows is so smart that it will disable DMA and never let you turn it back on if it has a data error |
| 01:54.29 | pagefault | only way to fix it is reinstall your drivers |
| 01:55.28 | scanlime | considering the quality of my components I'm certain it had a data error |
| 01:56.15 | scanlime | I'm still disturbed that I can't find a TV stand for under $200 or so |
| 01:56.42 | pagefault | wow really? |
| 01:56.50 | pagefault | try best buy or some place like that |
| 01:56.51 | scanlime | damn furniture companies and cable companies both feel the need to take four-digit profit margins on home theater accessories |
| 01:56.53 | pagefault | they should have some cheap ones |
| 01:57.00 | scanlime | even best buy doesn't get below $200 |
| 01:57.04 | scanlime | fry's are all $250+ |
| 01:57.05 | pagefault | thats weird |
| 01:57.09 | pagefault | maybe ikea has something |
| 01:57.13 | scanlime | hehe |
| 01:57.38 | scanlime | not too many places carry stands the right size for a 42" plasma... |
| 01:57.49 | pagefault | oh yeah that could be a problem |
| 01:58.14 | scanlime | there's one at fry's I rather like.. their cheapest one at $250. That will be my last resort if I don't find anything reasonably priced |
| 01:58.16 | scanlime | but arr.. makes me mad |
| 01:58.18 | pagefault | I guess thats why they try to sell you the stand when you buy a TV |
| 01:58.22 | scanlime | nod |
| 01:58.33 | scanlime | heh. circuit city's stands were even more overpriced than that |
| 01:58.41 | pagefault | hehe |
| 01:58.44 | pagefault | oh well |
| 01:58.49 | scanlime | it's not too bad on the floor, but it really needs to be at least a foot higher |
| 01:59.49 | pagefault | old college books :) |
| 01:59.54 | scanlime | hehe |
| 01:59.56 | scanlime | that's not a bad idea... |
| 02:00.01 | scanlime | if only I trusted them to hold the TV |
| 02:00.11 | scanlime | cinderblocks maybe |
| 02:00.23 | pagefault | yeah those could work but I would be worried about scratching stuff |
| 02:00.32 | scanlime | nod |
| 02:00.56 | scanlime | and it'd be nice to have way to anchor the base to avoid having it tip forward |
| 02:01.08 | scanlime | the stand includes holes for restraining brackets |
| 02:02.01 | scanlime | ya know, for earthquakes |
| 02:02.17 | scanlime | bet they're only included on TVs sold in california |
| 02:02.30 | Sophie197 | hey hey |
| 02:02.35 | Sophie197 | hi. |
| 02:02.43 | scanlime | hiya |
| 02:03.41 | pagefault | hmm probably |
| 02:03.45 | pagefault | I should check the back of my TV |
| 02:03.57 | scanlime | what kind do you have? |
| 02:04.09 | pagefault | Sony Grand Wega |
| 02:04.10 | pagefault | 50" |
| 02:04.14 | scanlime | nice |
| 02:04.18 | scanlime | is that an LCD? |
| 02:04.24 | pagefault | LCD projection |
| 02:04.43 | scanlime | cool. I was afraid of projection TVs... don't like the idea of replacing $500 light bulbs |
| 02:05.03 | pagefault | we've had it for over a year now and it still looks pretty good |
| 02:05.07 | scanlime | cool |
| 02:05.28 | scanlime | it was hard deciding between LCD, plasma, and DLP... |
| 02:05.55 | scanlime | in the end, I loved the resolution on DLP and LCD... but I'm really a sucker for displays with good black level, contrast, and gamma |
| 02:06.13 | scanlime | this plasma really has a very CRT-like look to it |
| 02:06.23 | scanlime | something you don't see that often in LCD or projection |
| 02:06.53 | pagefault | yeah plasma has come a long way |
| 02:06.57 | pagefault | it used to be so horrible |
| 02:07.02 | scanlime | would be nice if it had both better spatial resolution and better color resolution, but the dynamic range of the display really makes up for all that |
| 02:07.35 | pagefault | how is the viewing angle on it? |
| 02:07.57 | scanlime | it doesn't seem to have a finite viewing angle :) |
| 02:08.13 | scanlime | you could almost see the picture standing behind it... |
| 02:08.42 | scanlime | you do get kind of a double-image at extreme angles because of internal reflection in the face of the screen |
| 02:08.48 | scanlime | but the brightness and color doesn't shift at all |
| 02:09.03 | pagefault | thats good |
| 02:09.24 | pagefault | now to make it into an extended desktop :) |
| 02:09.39 | scanlime | I had that going under windows |
| 02:09.51 | scanlime | but the resolution on this thing is only EDTV |
| 02:09.54 | scanlime | 480p |
| 02:10.21 | scanlime | awesome for DVDs, and plenty high for all the stuff I have from navi.. but sucky for computer use mostly |
| 02:10.38 | scanlime | I'm still annoyed that I haven't seen it do a 1:1 pixel mapping on any input signal yet |
| 02:10.57 | scanlime | why is the signal on my monitor wobbling... |
| 02:11.10 | Inferno | Hello?... Yes. There is a beautiful woman in my bed, and a dead man in my bath. |
| 02:11.17 | scanlime | is my monitor about to die? amd I going to have two power supply failures today? |
| 02:11.40 | scanlime | Inferno: that's what it says... who did you follow in here? |
| 02:11.55 | Inferno | no realy, I do :) |
| 02:11.59 | file | scanlime: ya know you almost sounded like you were on a soap opera |
| 02:31.42 | pagefault | wee |
| 02:36.50 | file | yay emacs |
| 02:53.48 | Inferno | is there a problem with me? |
| 02:54.14 | purple_cow | wlel, no, but generally people here know one another somehow... |
| 02:55.12 | scanlime | he reeks of #bzflag too |
| 02:55.28 | purple_cow | a litle |
| 02:55.31 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 02:56.01 | scanlime | hrm. it's almost like component video wasn't meant to be sent over audio cable... |
| 02:56.50 | scanlime | though it's a hell of a lot better than Monster Cable Snake Oil And Ripoffs Inc. would have you believe |
| 02:56.56 | scanlime | the jitter is just a tiny fraction of a pixel |
| 02:57.23 | scanlime | guess I'll try to find some reasonable component cables if I end up not getting DVI working |
| 02:57.28 | scanlime | though I still need to get component working in linux :( |
| 02:57.33 | purple_cow | need more impedance? |
| 02:57.35 | scanlime | my card is too fancy for nvtv |
| 02:58.07 | purple_cow | yeah, everything geforce4 and up is too fancy for nvtv |
| 02:58.18 | purple_cow | but you shouldn't need nvtv anyway for component? |
| 02:59.18 | scanlime | well, under windows I have to tell it I'm using component, otherwise I get only a composite output |
| 02:59.35 | scanlime | actually I get the Y channel and I get Pb and Pr combined into one signal.. so it looks really gross |
| 02:59.45 | scanlime | after I tell it I want 480p I get a nice clean component out |
| 02:59.51 | scanlime | under linux it just gives me a blank screen |
| 03:00.03 | purple_cow | ah |
| 03:00.30 | purple_cow | hmm. still no response from our senior project mystery man |
| 03:01.27 | scanlime | :( |
| 03:01.38 | scanlime | you have another team member? or is this the sponsor? |
| 03:02.30 | purple_cow | yeah, we got assigned a 4th |
| 03:02.39 | scanlime | ah. and not very talkative yet? |
| 03:02.39 | purple_cow | no clue who he is or what his experience is |
| 03:02.49 | purple_cow | i'm hoping we don't completely destroy his brain |
| 03:03.13 | purple_cow | "we're using python and linux and 3d graphics!" |
| 03:03.47 | scanlime | *pop* |
| 03:04.04 | scanlime | just don't mention pbuffers and bmovl until he's acclimated a bit :) |
| 03:04.18 | pagefault | hehe |
| 03:04.39 | purple_cow | well, so far i just said we're planning to use freevo, and it's in python, and i'd be happy to show him a working installation |
| 03:04.56 | scanlime | :) |
| 03:08.26 | scanlime | lots of people were making fun of "Intel VIIV" after IDF.. but I think consumer electronics has a lasting tradition of names that are downright unpronouceable on first sight |
| 03:08.48 | scanlime | Sony has vaio and wega... but I'm at a loss with this panasonic TV |
| 03:09.00 | scanlime | I assume it says "VIETA", but the T looks more like an inverted L |
| 03:09.50 | purple_cow | vaio and wega aren't unpronouncible |
| 03:09.59 | scanlime | well, they're annoying :) |
| 03:10.12 | purple_cow | yeah |
| 03:10.24 | purple_cow | most people probably don't pronounce wega right |

| 05:00.21 | purple_cow | 2 PCI + 1 AGP |
| 05:01.33 | scanlime | ah, perfect |
| 05:01.36 | scanlime | onboard LAN? |
| 05:02.01 | scanlime | if so that's room for a decent video card, an SB live, and a more USB ports :) |
| 05:02.02 | purple_cow | yeah |
| 05:02.10 | scanlime | s/a more/4 more/ |
| 05:02.30 | purple_cow | well, i've got the tv tuner card, sblive and video card in there |
| 05:02.47 | purple_cow | there are 6 usb2 ports, which is more than i need now |
| 05:02.57 | purple_cow | http://zero.navi.cx/gallery/davids-new-apt-2005/IMG_0013 |
| 05:03.40 | purple_cow | and yes, that is TAoCP on my bookshelf :) |
| 05:04.00 | scanlime | purty |
| 05:04.06 | scanlime | need those speakers :) |
| 05:04.13 | purple_cow | it makes me happy |
| 05:04.20 | purple_cow | i'd like speaker stands, but it's not urgent |
| 05:04.36 | scanlime | yeah |
| 05:04.43 | scanlime | my living room has a vast furniture deficit |
| 05:04.50 | purple_cow | and the TV doesn't quite compare to yours, but for a 20" tube it looks great |
| 05:04.56 | scanlime | the only furniture I have here other than what I brought with me is this cheap bookcase |
| 05:05.00 | scanlime | nod |
| 05:05.39 | scanlime | I'd be worried about your tuition if you did have a plasma TV... |
| 05:06.02 | nullpuppy | lol |
| 05:07.04 | numist | wish I had a plasma TV... I thought you had loans to pay back, scanlime |
| 05:07.14 | nullpuppy | lol |
| 05:07.43 | nullpuppy | but.. I have about 6k in CC debt that must be paid first :) |
| 05:07.55 | scanlime | ow, CC debt.. |
| 05:08.07 | scanlime | it's plagued my parents for a long time |
| 05:08.23 | purple_cow | numist: just because he has loans doesn't mean he needs to spend everything on them ;) |
| 05:08.44 | scanlime | I already made like 3x the loan payment I had to |
| 05:09.17 | scanlime | I sure hope so |
| 05:09.18 | scanlime | that would rock |
| 05:09.40 | numist | :o |
| 05:09.51 | scanlime | I could have been really smart and bought the TV on circuit city's financing plan :P |
| 05:09.58 | purple_cow | hah |
| 05:10.10 | nullpuppy | yeah, i need a 3rd roommate.. that would even out my expenses a bit, and allow me to start paying down my debt (or just more hours/raise from work would be good too) |
| 05:11.03 | scanlime | heh.. that irish coffee I had earlier wasn't quite nonalcoholic enough |
| 05:11.09 | file[laptop] | nullpuppy: where do you work anyway? |
| 05:11.36 | nullpuppy | computer concepts, local pc repair shop |
| 05:11.49 | file[laptop] | ah |
| 05:11.51 | scanlime | wanna put in this motherboard for me? |
| 05:11.54 | scanlime | I hate doing this :P |
| 05:11.59 | purple_cow | heh |
| 05:12.13 | nullpuppy | hehe. sure.. not sure how I'd get there though :) |
| 05:12.15 | scanlime | purple_cow: hehe, isn't that fun? |
| 05:12.33 | scanlime | nah... as much as I hate working on computers, it's one of those things I'll stubbornly refuse to pay anyone to do |
| 05:12.50 | scanlime | and lookit all these great cuts I'm getting from yoshi's tower... |
| 05:13.02 | numist | scanlime hates working on computers? hardware is certainly one of the things you do most often... |
| 05:13.14 | scanlime | I hate computers in general |
| 05:13.19 | scanlime | they frustrate me to no end |
| 05:13.38 | nullpuppy | scanlime: haha :) |
| 05:14.06 | numist | :) |
| 05:14.21 | scanlime | I just somehow find myself using these devil boxes for everything :P |
| 05:14.26 | numist | I like ehm when they dont break |
| 05:14.45 | purple_cow | hehe, devil boxes |
| 05:14.46 | scanlime | there are computers that don't break? |
| 05:15.09 | purple_cow | yep. they're called irix workstations |
| 05:15.12 | numist | my thinkpad has been extremely robust with a single unfixable exception |
| 05:16.11 | file[laptop] | I need ideas for getting David to go to the data center for me... |
| 05:16.22 | file[laptop] | hrm... blackmail! |
| 05:16.31 | scanlime | I shouldn't have bothered buying a cheap universal remote.. the TV came with a really nice one that should be mi6k-friendly |
| 05:17.03 | scanlime | somehow I spaced on the fact that TVs tend to come with remotes |
| 05:17.40 | purple_cow | heh |
| 05:17.51 | numist | nice |
| 05:19.39 | nullpuppy | haha |
| 05:21.59 | lurgy | meow |
| 05:22.42 | purple_cow | hiya lurgy |
| 05:27.38 | scanlime | "Warning !!! DDR DIMM modules should be Set from DIMM4 to DIMM1 by orders. !!!" |
| 05:27.45 | scanlime | verbatim, including punctuation and capitalization. |
| 05:28.27 | nullpuppy | ... wtf |
| 05:28.36 | nullpuppy | that doesn't make any sense |
| 05:29.18 | lurgy | howdy purple_cow |
| 05:40.20 | nullpuppy | probably :) |
| 05:40.33 | nullpuppy | what mobo to what mobo? |
| 05:40.46 | scanlime | hey lookie.. "*** STOP: 0x0000007B" |
| 05:40.48 | nullpuppy | and what version of windows btw? |
| 05:40.49 | nullpuppy | haha |
| 05:40.55 | nullpuppy | ok, so.. xp.. |
| 05:41.10 | scanlime | K7AMA to K7-RAID, on XP |
| 05:41.24 | nullpuppy | know what chipsets they use? |
| 05:41.32 | purple_cow | wasn't the K7-RAID the one that made yoshi so unusable? |
| 05:41.41 | scanlime | ali to via |
| 05:41.53 | scanlime | purple_cow: yup |
| 05:42.04 | scanlime | purple_cow: but at least its AGP works... |
| 05:42.22 | scanlime | purple_cow: it might have actually been that bad power supply making yoshi so flaky |
| 05:42.47 | scanlime | who knows |
| 05:43.01 | scanlime | right now I'm just throwing random crappy hardware into a box and stirring until the right combination of things happen to not break |
| 05:43.10 | nullpuppy | haha |
| 05:43.28 | nullpuppy | scanlime: well.. if you're lucky.. a directory services restore will get it to boot |
| 05:43.52 | scanlime | well.. the sound card, video card, and DVD burner are nice on this machine. The case isn't bad... I guess this fan is pretty good |
| 05:44.02 | scanlime | hard disk is fine for now |
| 05:44.05 | scanlime | everything else is crap |
| 05:44.08 | nullpuppy | hehe |
| 05:44.40 | scanlime | same STOP error in safe mode |
| 05:44.55 | nullpuppy | scanlime: directoy services restore :) |
| 05:44.59 | nullpuppy | and pray :) |
| 05:45.17 | nullpuppy | if not.. you're probably looking at a repair install at the very least |
| 05:45.17 | scanlime | how do you do that? |
| 05:45.42 | nullpuppy | it *should* be an option in the boot menu |
| 05:46.06 | scanlime | I know little about windows right now other than how to install cygwin and how to write kernel code ;) |
| 05:46.17 | numist | theres something scanlime doesnt know how to do? :o |
| 05:46.32 | nullpuppy | press f8 during boot. should have 3 options for safe mode (safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode cmd prompt), then last known good, vga mode, directory services restore, and normal mode |
| 05:46.44 | scanlime | numist: I don't know how to just buy a $50 DVD player and save myself this headache ;) |
| 05:46.56 | nullpuppy | the lsat few will probably be in a different order, and may have more or less... :) |
| 05:47.15 | scanlime | nullpuppy: yeah, I get that menu fine, but there's no directory services restore |
| 05:47.42 | nullpuppy | hrm, what do you see? |
| 05:47.52 | scanlime | everything else |
| 05:48.12 | nullpuppy | hmm, k |
| 05:48.23 | nullpuppy | home? pro? (not that it matters, just curious) |
| 05:48.34 | numist | scanlime: thats the easy way out though :P |
| 05:48.37 | scanlime | pro, I think... |
| 05:48.48 | nullpuppy | numist: its windows, sometimes its the only way :) |
| 05:48.54 | numist | you can make home -> pro by editing the registry from an image of the cd and reburning :o |
| 05:48.58 | scanlime | why does windows care what motherboard I use? all the onboard hardware other than the IDE controller is disabled |
| 05:49.06 | nullpuppy | and a repair isntall will fix quite a few problems and not hurt your setup |
| 05:49.23 | scanlime | nullpuppy: well, it's a fresh install from this morning.. I might just overwrite it and start again |
| 05:49.29 | nullpuppy | scanlime: cause its windows :) |
| 05:49.30 | numist | itll overwrite your mbr though, so make sure grub is safe if your dualing |
| 05:49.31 | nullpuppy | k |
| 05:49.41 | scanlime | all it really has on it is a hosts file, videolan, firefox, and the nvidia drivers |
| 05:49.42 | nullpuppy | yeah |
| 05:49.58 | scanlime | numist: I have a gentoo live CD for that :) |
| 05:50.19 | numist | excellent |
| 05:50.55 | scanlime | so loud... |
| 05:51.54 | nullpuppy | scanlime: and.. the problem is the chipset and partially the way that xp handles activation (its tied to the hardware), and although the mobo may only be one physical 'card' its a dozen different components as far as windows is concerned :) |
| 05:54.25 | scanlime | purple_cow: is fembot itself fanless? |
| 05:54.25 | purple_cow | it's a dozen different components as far as anything is concerned |
| 05:54.34 | purple_cow | scanlime: no :P |
| 05:54.37 | purple_cow | it's got a number of fans |
| 05:57.31 | lurgy | good ol' core fonts |
| 05:58.16 | lurgy | AR PL SungtiL GB makes an amusing font for XText |
| 06:04.00 | scanlime | I can't remember the last time I used a windows CD that didn't have the key written on it in sharpie |
| 06:04.08 | scanlime | maybe it was that time the key was in a text file instead... |
| 06:31.44 | scanlime | guh |
| 06:31.56 | scanlime | I think this motherboard defaults to AGP 2x for a reason |
| 06:32.14 | scanlime | I have it on 4x now.. and I get small glitches on the textures in directx's spinning cube test |
| 06:32.39 | scanlime | bzflag starts up but all the glyphs in the main menu are missing their textures |
| 06:38.10 | scanlime | w00t! |
| 06:38.20 | scanlime | 3D works, video overlays work, Dr. Who on the TV works! |
| 06:38.29 | purple_cow | yay! |
| 06:38.30 | scanlime | damn that looks god |
| 06:38.31 | scanlime | er, good |
| 06:38.49 | scanlime | I'm going to have to get some slightly less crappy component video cables though, there's a little visible noise in the sync |
| 06:38.57 | scanlime | ahhhhhh |
| 06:39.00 | scanlime | this looks great |
| 06:39.55 | scanlime | you can see compression artifacts in our dr who 2005 encodes here and there |
| 06:40.04 | scanlime | good luck doing that on NTSC ;) |
| 06:40.15 | nullpuppy | wow... take a look at somethingawful... :/ |
| 06:41.41 | scanlime | =( |
| 06:42.09 | nullpuppy | over 20k in donations in less then a day, and paypal locks his account |
| 06:44.05 | purple_cow | yeah, those dr who encodes look fantastic on NTSC :) |
| 06:44.30 | scanlime | oh, they look fantastic on this too |
| 06:44.41 | scanlime | you can just see a block here and there if you look really really closely |
| 06:58.13 | scanlime | hmm |
| 06:58.20 | scanlime | it's a whole lot brighter than it looks through my camera |
| 06:58.27 | scanlime | but these didn't come out too bad |
| 06:58.28 | scanlime | http://zero.navi.cx/gallery/micahs-tv |
| 06:58.31 | purple_cow | turn up the exposure! |
| 06:58.33 | purple_cow | :) |
| 06:58.54 | scanlime | it's already at maybe a half second exposure :( |
| 06:59.04 | scanlime | this camera just isnt' great at low light |
| 06:59.14 | purple_cow | ah |
| 06:59.21 | scanlime | but you can see on the pictures I took with the flash on, that the TV puts out a lot of light |
| 06:59.28 | scanlime | what's really amazing about it is the contrast |
| 06:59.31 | scanlime | I think it's something like 4000:! |
| 06:59.34 | scanlime | s/!/1/ |
| 06:59.40 | purple_cow | haha |
| 06:59.47 | purple_cow | i like your mom's comment on the snow picture |
| 06:59.56 | scanlime | :) |
| 07:00.12 | scanlime | I wonder how she found the page.. I hadn't sent them a link yet |
| 07:00.26 | scanlime | I wonder if she's RSS savvy :) |
| 07:01.44 | nullpuppy | oooh, I see firefly :) |
| 07:01.49 | scanlime | it's kind of handy that this thing has a built-in ATSC tuner. I have no idea if there are any ATSC stations in this area |
| 07:01.50 | scanlime | yup :) |
| 07:02.11 | scanlime | that was my first test at DVD playing, through windows media player at 480p |
| 07:02.35 | nullpuppy | :) |
| 07:02.37 | scanlime | so the resolution was getting upscaled just a bit, and the playback was kinda jerky ('cuz WMP in a monkey) |
| 07:02.44 | nullpuppy | bought the dvd's then? :) |
| 07:02.56 | scanlime | yeah, I've had those for a while now |
| 07:03.02 | nullpuppy | cool |
| 07:03.26 | scanlime | right now I'm letting the computer output 720p, then having the TV downscale from there. Not as good as 1:1, but way better than the 480p output |
| 07:03.47 | nullpuppy | yeah |
| 07:04.47 | scanlime | the slight hardware downscale actually makes it really usable for normal computery things, like web browsing |
| 07:04.55 | scanlime | firefox looks great on it |
| 07:05.06 | scanlime | despite all the text looking like OS X |
| 07:05.13 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 07:05.17 | nullpuppy | lol |
| 07:06.06 | scanlime | hm. one of those pictures had lunch in it |
| 07:07.32 | scanlime | "Lots of planets have a north" |
| 07:11.07 | scanlime | I wonder if the component output would work in linux if I booted with only that connecte |
| 07:11.08 | scanlime | +d |
| 07:11.21 | scanlime | will have to try that after this episode.. I miss the mi6k and freevo now |
| 07:11.42 | purple_cow | scanlime: seems likely. fembot uses the svideo by default when it's the only thing hooked up |
| 07:11.44 | scanlime | starting vlc for windows on a big CRT is even worse than ssh'ing in and running mplayer :( |
| 07:12.02 | scanlime | purple_cow: yeah. it probably all boils down to whether it can tell the difference between s-video/composite and component |
| 07:15.46 | purple_cow | nvidia seems to have that detection down |
| 07:15.56 | scanlime | let's hope so :) |
| 07:16.04 | scanlime | otherwise I get to go reverse-engineering and nvtv hacking... |
| 07:16.11 | scanlime | or just settle with windows :P |
| 07:17.07 | scanlime | I should definitely keep this windows partition around for gaming >:) |
| 07:17.20 | scanlime | if I keep a hard disk in here at all |
| 07:17.23 | scanlime | oh |
| 07:17.28 | scanlime | purple_cow: can fembot boot off of USB? |
| 07:18.01 | scanlime | my busted-AGP motherboard supposedly can.. I got it as far as loading the boot sector off a flash disk, but it never got into syslinux |
| 07:18.19 | scanlime | not sure whether I messed up the installation, or the BIOS is silly |
| 07:30.03 | scanlime | yay.. detection |
| 07:30.13 | purple_cow | it works? |
| 07:30.17 | scanlime | memory count in crystal clear component video :) |
| 07:30.26 | scanlime | not sure if X will work, need to fix grub first |
| 07:30.40 | purple_cow | cool |
| 07:31.14 | purple_cow | hmmmm |
| 07:31.18 | scanlime | ok, now that I've seen this, I think I can be talked into spending $35 for a gamecube component cable :P |
| 07:31.20 | purple_cow | the fan on my disks has a temperature sensor |
| 07:31.32 | purple_cow | scanlime: hehe |
| 07:31.43 | purple_cow | scanlime: i bet it'll be the same difference as when we did that atari composite mod :D |
| 07:31.50 | scanlime | yup :) |
| 07:31.59 | scanlime | mmmm... progressive scan F-Zero... |
| 07:32.24 | scanlime | hehe, wow. everything so far is coming through just fine over component |
| 07:32.35 | scanlime | all the bios text, and now the gentoo livecd graphical startup widget |
| 07:33.20 | purple_cow | wow! stuff on the screen before X starts! |
| 07:33.21 | scanlime | =) |
| 07:33.23 | scanlime | yeah! |
| 07:33.26 | scanlime | it's amazing |
| 07:33.49 | scanlime | and on this TV the gentoo livecd framebuffer is actually readable :) |
| 07:33.55 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 07:33.56 | purple_cow | on mine too ;) |
| 07:34.00 | purple_cow | probably less so though |
| 07:34.12 | scanlime | 128x43 text is a lot for any TV |
| 07:35.37 | scanlime | oops.. my hard disk is hdc and the cdrom is hda |
| 07:36.08 | scanlime | afraid windows will puke if I swap those back.. might as well just fix my fstab while I'm in leenox |
| 07:36.12 | purple_cow | heh |
| 07:40.13 | purple_cow | ``In this game, you and your fellow players play Troubleshooters, serving Friend Computer by finding Trouble and Shooting it. Most of the time, though, the Trouble is your fellow teammates.'' |
| 07:41.03 | scanlime | :) |
| 07:41.57 | purple_cow | ``When it came out, it was an effective subversion of many of the shared assumptions of roleplaying at the time (player characters cooperating to reach a common goal, a general adherence to the rules as written, the GM being fair and honest)...'' |
| 07:43.37 | purple_cow | apparently in the first edition, the entire chapter on rules was labelled "optional" |
| 08:05.15 | scanlime | hah |
| 08:07.57 | scanlime | hrm |
| 08:08.03 | scanlime | so X works over component |
| 08:08.14 | scanlime | but the nvidia X driver won't let me set HDTV modes |
| 08:09.36 | scanlime | mwahahaha |
| 08:09.39 | scanlime | yay for strings |
| 08:09.45 | scanlime | I think I just found some undocumented HDTV settings >:) |
| 08:11.18 | scanlime | SWEET |
| 08:11.32 | scanlime | I am definitely backing up this xorg.conf |
| 08:11.53 | scanlime | <PROTECTED> |
| 08:11.58 | scanlime | plus some crazy modelines :) |
| 08:22.22 | purple_cow | scanlime: awesome |
| 08:22.58 | scanlime | this is great! |
| 08:23.02 | scanlime | yay -monitoraspect |
| 08:23.26 | scanlime | time to set up freevo a bit. I should definitely pick up some real component cables tomorrow |
| 08:23.54 | scanlime | it's a shame DVI is being stubborn... |
| 08:24.07 | purple_cow | scanlime: you should send a patch for the README file to nvidia :) |
| 08:24.20 | scanlime | if I see any super-cheap DVD players with DVI output I should see if that gets me 1:1 pixels on DVD content |
| 08:24.22 | scanlime | purple_cow: yes :) |
| 08:25.56 | scanlime | I'm not used to seeing black bars on the sides of 4:3 TV shows |
| 08:28.06 | scanlime | hahaha |
| 08:28.11 | scanlime | our Iron Chef rips look awful on this |
| 08:34.31 | scanlime | ooh.. Last Exile |
| 08:37.13 | rioter | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_events |
| 08:37.18 | rioter | seems wikipedia was hacked |
| 08:38.37 | purple_cow | rioter: oh? |
| 08:38.42 | purple_cow | looks fine to me |
| 08:38.49 | rioter | mmm |
| 08:38.55 | rioter | Current events |
| 08:38.56 | rioter | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
| 08:38.56 | rioter | cWo is taking over the world. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL OF YOU! BOW TO YOUR GODS |
| 08:38.59 | rioter | is what im getting |
| 08:39.03 | purple_cow | already fixed |
| 08:39.12 | rioter | mmm must be a cache then |
| 08:40.15 | scanlime | heh.. 'hacked' doesn't really apply to wikis |
| 08:41.14 | rioter | well that is true |
| 08:41.26 | rioter | however i assume current_events is a script |
| 08:44.43 | scanlime | don't think so |
| 08:44.48 | scanlime | look at the source, it has instructions for editing |
| 08:47.36 | rioter | i cant atm |
| 08:47.42 | rioter | still displaying that text |
| 08:47.45 | rioter | even if i clear my cache |
| 08:48.31 | purple_cow | current_events is just a normal article |
| 08:48.38 | rioter | ah fair enough |
| 09:36.48 | purple_cow | slimspace: any codename ideas yet? :) |
| 09:39.06 | slimspace | purple_cow: RCF (Remote Controlled Foobilator)? |
| 09:39.38 | purple_cow | :P |
| 09:52.53 | scanlime | they don't make it easy to install the lirc modules... |
| 10:02.51 | scanlime | bleh. I can worry about that tomorrow |
| 10:03.04 | scanlime | should be tired enough that no squirrel could possibly wake me up come 7 AM... |

| 18:58.47 | Sophie197 | set him on the flo and get some foo. |
| 19:02.56 | numist | hehe, trying to get more comfy, he rolled clean off me, then sunk his claws in to get back up >_< |
| 19:03.08 | numist | I cant set him on the floor... he's heart-melting |
| 19:24.45 | Sophie197 | well, you can't eat raw cat |
| 19:25.37 | purple_cow | i bet you *could* |
| 19:25.49 | numist | if he werent so damn cute I could |
| 19:26.44 | purple_cow | Sophie197: new goldfrapp? |
| 19:31.29 | darth_mall | bleh |
| 19:35.04 | scanlime | why is there no ububtu package to give you the *actual* source tree their stock kernels were built with? |
| 19:35.16 | scanlime | I'm probably going to have to rebuild the whole kernel just to get lirc working |
| 19:35.40 | purple_cow | :( |
| 19:36.33 | scanlime | the lirc folks also seem to have broken compatibility with kernel modules again |
| 19:40.25 | purple_cow | yay! |
| 19:40.27 | purple_cow | or boo! |
| 19:47.04 | scanlime | huh |

| 19:54.18 | scanlime | but what about her neighbor's unborn child??? |
| 19:54.42 | scanlime | aw |
| 19:54.58 | scanlime | neverball doesn't want to run in 1280x720.. it has a hardcoded resolution list :P |
| 19:56.18 | scanlime | and bzflag gets jerky when I have VBL sync on |
| 19:56.29 | scanlime | I guess it doesn't like running at only 60 FHz... |
| 20:04.56 | scanlime | purple_cow: that is really scary |
| 20:06.03 | scanlime | I especially like the "anti cussing advocate" :) |

| 20:32.43 | Sophie197 | purple_cow: yeah, new Goldfrapp |
| 20:32.53 | Sophie197 | released in the UK only, I think |
| 20:33.06 | Sophie197 | but it's on Ubernet. |
| 20:33.25 | purple_cow | is it on your server? |
| 20:33.29 | Sophie197 | mhm |
| 20:33.33 | purple_cow | cool |
| 20:33.36 | Sophie197 | one sec |
| 20:34.05 | purple_cow | hmm, or not |
| 20:34.27 | Sophie197 | okay, it's there |
| 20:34.36 | Sophie197 | in Albums or something. |
| 20:35.51 | purple_cow | there it is |
| 20:39.03 | scanlime | mmm |
| 20:39.07 | scanlime | office space, pop tarts, and coffee |
| 20:39.20 | purple_cow | mmm |
| 20:39.27 | purple_cow | death cab, a bagel, and coffee |
| 20:39.34 | scanlime | :) |
| 20:39.40 | Sophie197 | listenin to Plans? |
| 20:39.53 | purple_cow | plans? |
| 20:39.57 | scanlime | will be nice having somewhere to put my pop tarts and laptop other than the couch |
| 20:39.58 | Sophie197 | how d'you like it? I can't decide. |
| 20:40.03 | scanlime | and somewhere to put drinks other than the floor |
| 20:40.08 | Sophie197 | yeah, the new Death Cab album. |
| 20:40.12 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 20:40.31 | Sophie197 | well, it's in the root dir on my server |
| 20:40.37 | Sophie197 | you can grab that next |
| 20:40.45 | purple_cow | :) |
| 20:40.52 | file[laptop] | waffles! I bought waffles |
| 20:40.54 | file[laptop] | I totally forgot |
| 20:41.10 | scanlime | wooo |
| 20:41.17 | scanlime | the printer scene in full resolution! |
| 20:41.26 | Sophie197 | pickles! I bought pickles |
| 20:42.02 | scanlime | ahhh |
| 20:42.12 | scanlime | I cringe every time Michael goes after the printer with his bare hands :) |
| 20:48.25 | purple_cow | scanlime: when do you get the rest of your furniture? |
| 20:48.57 | scanlime | well, I'm just waiting on the coffee table + end tables right now... I ordered it about a week ago, and they said it could take two weeks |
| 20:49.06 | scanlime | I'm supposed to get a call when it's ready, then I drive to the warehouse to pick it up |
| 20:49.20 | scanlime | I could use some more shelves, but I've just been putting off buying those |
| 20:49.27 | Sophie197 | where did you order it from? |
| 20:49.31 | Sophie197 | Ikia? |
| 20:49.33 | scanlime | local furniture store |
| 20:49.42 | Sophie197 | ah. |
| 20:50.06 | scanlime | oh, and I need a TV stand |
| 20:50.11 | scanlime | but I'm still angry about how expensive those are |
| 20:51.11 | Sophie197 | I have a $50 one that I got about 6 years ago. |
| 20:51.27 | scanlime | nod. the cheapest ones I've seen that will hold a 42" plasma are $200 or so :( |
| 20:51.43 | scanlime | this thing is really a lot heavier than it looks |
| 20:52.17 | scanlime | took two big circuit city guys to get it out of the box.. I can move it only a few inches at a time on my own. |
| 20:53.46 | Sophie197 | hmm. |
| 20:53.47 | scanlime | I wonder how hard it is to modulate ATSC video... I'd basically be sending the TV an MPEG2 stream :) |
| 20:53.59 | purple_cow | yeah. this one says it can hold up to 24" and some 27", but i barely trust it for my 20" |

| 21:10.41 | scanlime | :) |
| 21:11.04 | lurgy | hurray |
| 21:25.17 | scanlime | ok.. neverball in 16:9 480p looks great |
| 21:25.22 | scanlime | but it's very hard to play with the keyboard |
| 21:29.27 | scanlime | pagefault: !!!! |
| 21:29.42 | scanlime | pagefault: zsnes doesn't have a 1280x720 mode :P |
| 21:35.46 | purple_cow | well, it's not first, but we're back on a google images search for playstation :D |
| 21:36.11 | scanlime | =D |
| 21:36.26 | scanlime | ok, screw ubuntu's kooky kernel patches |
| 21:37.16 | scanlime | hmm.. I wonder if neverball supports force feedback yet :) |
| 21:37.29 | scanlime | that'd be a great way to test uinput's ff goop as well as inputpipe and the gchub |
| 21:39.03 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 21:47.45 | pagefault | scanlime, oh, easily added though, do you need it? |
| 21:49.21 | scanlime | pagefault: Ideally I'd want zsnes running fullscreen at whatever the current resolution happens to be, and adding black bars on the sides if it detects that the aspect ratio isn't 4:3 |
| 21:49.41 | scanlime | in my case, I want it keeping my display set to 1280x720 and having empty space on the sides |
| 21:50.04 | scanlime | would also be nice to have it support the random scaling modes.. rather than forcing me to use opengl |
| 21:55.50 | scanlime | wait |
| 21:56.04 | scanlime | *ideally* zsnes would patch all games to run at 720p natively |

| 22:01.19 | purple_cow | heh |
| 22:08.40 | pagefault | hehe |
| 22:08.53 | pagefault | what do you want exactly, 720p stretched to fill the screen |
| 22:09.05 | pagefault | or do you want rather 720p but aspect correct with the rest filled in black |
| 22:09.11 | pagefault | or an option between the two |
| 22:13.20 | pagefault | AP: Army Corps of Engineers says police killed some of its workers as they crossed a bridge on the way to repair a canal. More soon |
| 22:13.23 | pagefault | what the fuck man |
| 22:16.43 | scanlime | pagefault: no, I want widescreen SNES games |
| 22:19.13 | pagefault | ok |
| 22:21.32 | pagefault | i'll see what I can do |
| 22:21.38 | scanlime | but failing that, it'd be nice to have 720p with black bars on the sides ;) |
| 22:22.06 | pagefault | the HQ3X filter might make it look a bit better too at that resolution |
| 22:22.23 | scanlime | nod |
| 22:30.15 | pagefault | haha |
| 22:30.22 | pagefault | WB calls 3:2 aspect ratio "easyview" |
| 22:30.26 | pagefault | err 3:4 I mean |
| 22:37.35 | scanlime | 3:4?? |
| 22:37.42 | pagefault | 4:3 |
| 22:37.50 | scanlime | easyview?? |
| 22:37.53 | pagefault | yeah |
| 22:38.11 | pagefault | on their TV stations SDTV is "Easyview" |
| 22:38.33 | scanlime | I suppose they don't advertise it as Never The Same Color... |
| 22:38.34 | pagefault | apparently HDTV isn't easy |
| 22:42.23 | file | I hate customers |
| 22:42.35 | file | they whine about their stuff not working and then try to get me to set it up for them for free and upgrade their box and stuff |

| 22:53.00 | pagefault | Rome episode 2 is on tonight |
| 22:53.20 | pagefault | I hope episode 2 is as good as episode 1 |
| 22:53.25 | pagefault | although it had a lot of nudity in it |
| 22:53.30 | pagefault | which is fine by me of course :) |
| 22:54.07 | file | I wish there was some way I could remotely control iTunes |
| 22:54.16 | pagefault | you can |
| 22:54.24 | file | details boy |
| 22:54.27 | pagefault | I believe it listens on a local port you can send commands to |
| 22:54.32 | pagefault | as a konfabulator addon does it that way |
| 22:55.14 | pagefault | i'm sure if you google it or surf over to apple.com |
| 22:55.21 | pagefault | you will find answers to the questions you have |

| 23:04.14 | scanlime | it's hard to appreciate how much better progressive scan is until you see something like this |
| 23:08.35 | pagefault | i'm adding your video mode right now scanlime |
| 23:08.47 | scanlime | haha |
| 23:09.07 | scanlime | why don't you just make t use the current video mode optionally? it's really silly to hardcode everything in like that |
| 23:09.37 | pagefault | hmm |
| 23:09.41 | pagefault | thats a good idea |
| 23:09.53 | pagefault | -x -y |
| 23:09.55 | pagefault | or whatever |
| 23:10.27 | scanlime | uhhuh.. and maybe a way to specify your display's aspect ratio |
| 23:10.29 | scanlime | like mplayer |
| 23:10.36 | pagefault | oh yeah |
| 23:10.38 | pagefault | that too |
| 23:10.43 | scanlime | while you're at it, it'd be nice if you could run it from the command line in a useful way ;) |
| 23:10.55 | pagefault | haha the command line is a complete mess |
| 23:11.03 | scanlime | uhhuh |

| 23:26.13 | scanlime | ubuntu's mplayer and xine both need lots of love |

| 23:26.45 | scanlime | it has USB... |
| 23:26.48 | pagefault | from a zsnes user |

| 23:29.39 | scanlime | so you've got a real xbox dev kit, you're not porting to xbox-linux? |
| 23:31.45 | scanlime | huh |
