04:36:42BZFlagfinalfantasydog: you really need a dialup fix. you use *70 to disable call waiting? These are all internal folk picking up the phone?
04:37:14finalfantasydogyes
04:37:23BZFlagyes on both?
04:37:42finalfantasydogand they seem to be not intelligent enough to check first to see if there is activity on the phone
04:37:53finalfantasydogi didn't use *70
04:38:00BZFlagreroute that phone line pronto! ;-)
04:38:16finalfantasydogheh i know
04:38:21finalfantasydogbut it's just a temporay situation
04:38:24finalfantasydognormally i have dsl
04:38:32finalfantasydogso i don't feel like wasting too much time/money on it
04:38:48BZFlagyou have call waiting? *70 with disable it for the duration of the call in most areas.
04:39:16finalfantasydogno i don't have call waiting
04:39:19BZFlagI have DSL too, I did the rerouting to get a cleaner signal on my DSL line.
04:39:42BZFlagline->dslmodem->restofthehouse
04:39:56BZFlagthen no other devices in the house need dsl blocks.
04:40:51BZFlagand IIRC I got a 4-5 db boost on signal/noise ratio? hmmm. don;t recall exactly.
04:41:44finalfantasydogthat's nice
04:42:32finalfantasydogexcept to get that type of rerouting done in my apartment in Japan is outrageous amounts of money
04:42:32BZFlagyep. I could proably upgrade to a 1.5Mb line now if I wanted to pay for it.
04:42:56BZFlagbummer.
04:42:59BZFlagbbiab
06:48:56vhhey.
06:49:12vhno progress yet, have to fill the customs papers.
06:49:23vhbzflag, how big was the package 15x15x5?
06:49:26vhinches.
06:49:58vh15x13x5
06:50:05well, that is a big green thing
06:50:05vhthat?
06:50:47jacques: I forgot that
06:50:47jacquesibot: forget that
07:27:47BZFlagyes, 15x13x5
07:35:51jacquestest
07:38:01finalfantasydog?
12:01:03vhyeah
12:01:10vhreceived the tuxscreen intact!
12:24:32vhWho's not using the US power supply?
13:48:16vhmallum, do you have a tuxscreen?
13:48:25vh(or anyone in the EU)
13:48:42mallumno, not yet
13:49:21boodleI'm almost ready to order (waiting for paypal xfer to clear)
13:51:01vhi got mine.
13:52:03boodleis away: meeting
14:13:59nikosis back
14:56:56nelsonWell, I powered up my keyboard, pointed it at the iPAQ, ran "cat /dev/ttySA2", and hit some keys.
14:57:07nelsonNothing.  Nada.  Zilch.
14:57:18nelsonsuspects that it's not iRDA, but instead consumer IR.
14:59:18nikosThe TuxScreen Keyboard?
15:20:08cworthnelson: hmmm... that may make it easier to use a universal remote to control the tuxscreen then, no?
15:21:13mallum www.lirc.org
15:29:14nelsoncworth: yes, it might.  Of course, if the keyboard was irda, we could use the keyboard with the iPAQ.
15:29:40nelsonAnybody got a universal remote?  Try training it using the ts keyboard.
15:34:21nelsonOkay, so has anybody done anything with lirc on the ipaq?
15:35:53nelsonHmmmm...  the lirc.org page says that iPAQ support is planned.
15:42:50boodleis back (gone 01:50:47)
16:53:32Hmm.  No matches for that, nelson.
16:53:32nelsonThree people have attempted to port lirc to the ipaq.  The only one on the sk  with compiled executables is /home/guest/bdkearns@bdkearns.net/lirc/
16:58:23nikosHmm, what triggered ibot there?
16:58:40nikosbdkearns is in the other channels.
17:05:45nelsonnikos: tnx, I'll go ask him there.
17:05:51nikossure
17:08:53bdkearns was last seen on #handhelds.org 55 minutes and 50 seconds ago, saying: not sure, I've gone into the stores looking for other things, just noticed the ipaq boxes [Thu Jun 14 17:13:03 2001]
17:08:53nelsonibot: seen bdkearns?
17:27:18bdkearns was last seen on #handhelds.org 1 hours, 14 minutes and 15 seconds ago, saying: not sure, I've gone into the stores looking for other things, just noticed the ipaq boxes [Thu Jun 14 17:13:03 2001]
17:27:18nelsonibot: seen bdkearns?
18:18:08:O
18:18:08BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:18:19nikosShall I insult him again?
18:18:29Ok, BZFlag, I'll start talking.
18:18:29BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:18:35:X
18:18:35BZFlagibot: shutup
18:18:39:X
18:18:39BZFlagibot: shutup
18:18:41:X
18:18:41BZFlagibot: shutup
18:18:43:X
18:18:43BZFlagibot: shutup
18:18:45Sorry, BZFlag, I'll keep my mouth shut.
18:18:45BZFlagibot: shutup
18:18:50:O
18:18:50BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:18:52:O
18:18:52BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:18:54Ok, BZFlag, I'll start talking.
18:18:54BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:19:06BZFlaglooks like it's fixed. have at em
18:19:51:X
18:19:51nikosibot: shut up
18:20:01nikosDidn't drop at least.
18:20:12nikosI was expecting to get some fight back though.
18:20:16Ok, nikos, I'll start talking.
18:20:16nikosibot: wakeup
18:20:28nikosSo that actually does something useful now?
18:20:37nelsonBZFlag: any intel on whether the keyboard is irda or cir?
18:20:57BZFlag50% of the time it just puts out the :O or :X, I think that's odd.
18:21:38BZFlagnelson: nope. there are 3 wires going to the IR board, but there is only one device on it.
18:22:05BZFlagdon't know if that one device could be a tranceiver or just a receiver
18:22:20BZFlagnikos: yeah. watch...
18:22:222
18:22:22BZFlag1+1?
18:22:30Sorry, BZFlag, I'll keep my mouth shut.
18:22:30BZFlagibot: shutup
18:22:35BZFlag1+1?
18:22:44BZFlaggrins
18:22:51:O
18:22:51BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:22:53Ok, BZFlag, I'll start talking.
18:22:53BZFlagibot: wakeup
18:22:572
18:22:57BZFlag1+1?
18:23:07BZFlagit changes the mode of addressing ibot.
18:23:38BZFlagit should do it for just this channel, but that code was not working right, so now it changes all the channels he's on. ;-(
18:24:05nikosAh, promiscuity.
18:24:26nikosBZFlag: Show it changes it for all channels?
18:24:47nikosBZFlag: That's not good.  Might want to disable that so he's in required mode in all channels except #ipaq.
18:26:06BZFlagstill looing at it.
18:26:10BZFlager looking
18:30:10nikosBZFlag: I think nelson is trying to figure out whether the Keyboard could be useful either with the ipaq or a consumer IR device.
18:30:25BZFlagdon't see any easy fix. anyone on any channel can tell him to wakeup/shutup at present.
18:30:34i already had it that way, nelson.
18:30:34nelsonibot: nelson is trying to figure out whether the Keyboard could be useful either with the ipaq or a consumer IR device.
18:30:39nikosBZFlag: Minor issue.
18:30:44hmmm... nelson is trying to figure out whether the Keyboard could be useful either with the ipaq or a consumer IR device.
18:30:44nelsonibot: nelson?
18:30:57nikos1 + 1
18:31:02Since Thu Jun 14 19:17:30 2001, there have been 3 modifications and 3 questions.  I have been awake for 13 minutes, 32 seconds this session, and currently reference 2532 factoids. Addressing is in optional mode.
18:31:02nikosibot: status
18:31:07nelsonHehe.  I'll go down that way in history.
18:31:08Sorry, nikos, I'll keep my mouth shut.
18:31:08nikosibot: shut up
18:31:12Since Thu Jun 14 19:17:30 2001, there have been 3 modifications and 4 questions.  I have been awake for 13 minutes, 42 seconds this session, and currently reference 2532 factoids. Addressing is in require mode.
18:31:12nikosibot: status
18:31:19nikosBetter leave in required.
18:31:49nelsonBZFlag: well, I'd *like* to be able to use the keyboard with my ipaq.  Hey, why not?
18:32:07nikosnelson: Indeed.
18:32:46BZFlagwell, I doubt the keyboard speaks irda. that would require that the phone do all kinds of handshaking with the keyboard and that the keyboard retain state.
18:33:13cworthMTGthe new RandR support would be quite handy for this too... :)
18:33:19BZFlagtwo keyboards seem to interoperate with no issues, so they are probably not irda.
18:33:38BZFlagthat does not mean the phone could not be irda though. But I'm doubtful.
18:34:06BZFlagthe ipaq could probably be configured to receive from the same keyboard even though it is not irda.
18:34:14nelsonBZFlag: yeah, I'd be doubtful also.  But still, it looks like we'll have a port of lirc working on the ipaq soon.
18:34:49BZFlagcool. are you able to change the tranmit frequency?
18:35:01BZFlager transmit...
18:36:23nikosWe are awaiting the return of bdkearns.
18:36:27nelsonNo, somehow lirc samples the ir directly.
19:06:46nikosfinalfantasydog: Are you still having trouble with your handhelds.org account?
19:07:08finalfantasydog?
19:07:08finalfantasydogno
19:07:11finalfantasydogit's working fine now
19:07:23finalfantasydogi belive
19:07:24finalfantasydoglet me check
19:07:59finalfantasydogyes
19:08:01finalfantasydogit's working fine now
19:08:28nikosGreat
21:06:15nikosInteresting conversation:

21:06:21nikos<nikos> Of what?

21:06:25nikos<nikos> The IRC server?  Or do you mean a channel operator?
21:06:27nikos<nikos> I'm not an IRC server administrator no.
21:06:29nikos<adistactos> who are server administator
21:06:31nikos<adistactos> ?
21:06:33nikos<nikos> See http://openprojects.net

22:12:48cworth was last seen on #tuxscreen 6 hours, 52 minutes and 40 seconds ago, saying: nelson: hmmm... that may make it easier to use a universal remote to control the tuxscreen then, no? [Thu Jun 14 16:20:08 2001]
22:12:48BZFlagibot: seen cworth
22:50:38nelsonjacques: Got me my tuxes.  Pretty cute.
22:52:37jacquesnelson: cool! how does screen lok?
22:52:40jacqueslook
23:03:22nelsonexcellent.
23:05:07jacquesnelson: that's great to hear, I gues I should start thinking about my order
23:05:52nelsonOrder two.  It's a great phone even if we can never get Linux running on it.  :-)
23:07:49jacquesnelson: yes, I was thinking 2 or 3
23:09:19jacquesnelson: I am also waiting to hear about JTAG and whether 64MB SODIMMS work
23:10:00nelsonHmmmm....  The software that it comes with seems a little buggy, however.
23:10:12nelsonOr at least, it operates in a manner which I cannot decipher.
23:14:40BZFlagnelson: can I help?
23:15:09BZFlagjacques: cworth's wiki page has testing info. He is testing the 64M tonight.
23:15:56nelsonBZFlag: maybe.  Currently Message Center  is highlighted.  I can't get anything else to run, but there's no Cancel button on the Message Center screen.
23:16:17jacquesBZFlag: excellent :-)
23:16:38bugger all, i dunno, jacques
23:16:38jacquesibot: cworth wiki?
23:16:41nelsonBZFlag: could you set the topic to the tuxscreen url?
23:16:47why not take a look at  http://TuxScreen.net/ and also see http://tuxscreen.net/wiki/view//TimRiker and http://tuxscreen.net/scrapbook/images.html or #TuxScreen
23:16:47nelsonibot: tuxscreen?
23:17:21jacquescool, tnks
