| 01:05:16 | as_ | Evnin all. |
| 11:09:40 | ejadles | Can anyone tell me how to partition/format a CF card? |
| 15:55:33 | prpplague | howdy all |
| 16:05:25 | Tangent | Hi prpplague |
| 16:09:49 | prpplague | hows it going today? |
| 16:16:32 | Tangent | prpplague : Oh.. pretty good.. I've not been awake for too long... how about you... |
| 16:17:42 | prpplague | Tangent: me either, slept late, time to start work on pcmcia again. i'm going to see how many debug statements i can put in a single driver... |
| 16:18:36 | Tangent | prpplague : I'm currently messing around with PIC microcontrollers... gotta get my PCB working before I'm ready for more linux really... |
| 16:19:08 | prpplague | hmm i love PICS, if they'd only run linux.... |
| 16:21:41 | Tangent | prpplague : http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/NewOffice/9.jpg http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/NewOffice/10.jpg http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/NewOffice/11.jpg http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/NewOffice/OfficeControl.jpg |
| 16:21:49 | Tangent | prpplague : That's my current toy :) |
| 16:22:28 | Tangent | The interface is destined to run on a Tuxscreen.. just as soon as I get this PIC board working properly, I'll be able to hang all my hardware off a single serial port |
| 16:25:12 | prpplague | Tangent: looks like a beauty |
| 16:25:50 | Tangent | prpplague : Thanks... It's what I've been working on over the summer... moved house, and custom built & wired my office |
| 16:30:48 | prpplague | Tangent: this is mine - http://www.inhandelectronics.com/html/elf.html |
| 16:31:20 | prpplague | Tangent: i want to have a prototype workstation completed by jan1 |
| 16:31:27 | Tangent | prpplague : Very nice... Doesn't look quite as homemade as mine :) |
| 16:32:04 | prpplague | Tangent: wait till you see my homemade case..., no injection molded case for me... |
| 16:32:17 | Tangent | prpplague : The dual pcmcia sockets is a very nice feature for a PDA |
| 16:32:47 | prpplague | Tangent: ya, i'm going to put a 640x480 lcd on it |
| 16:33:02 | Tangent | prpplague : Power supply requirements are pretty killer tho' |
| 16:33:53 | Tangent | Tho' I guess that's probably similar to the iPAQ in real life terms |
| 16:34:04 | prpplague | Tangent: going to use rechargeable batteries from kids radio control cars |
| 16:35:00 | Tangent | Fingertip is cute too :) |
| 16:35:45 | prpplague | haven't worked with it yet |
| 16:36:19 | Tangent | Ah.. the omnimeter... I've run across that before... |
| 16:37:32 | prpplague | Tangent: ya have? |
| 16:37:45 | Tangent | prpplague : Only on the web |
| 16:38:31 | prpplague | Tangent: ohh, everyone says it runs linux great, but i can't find any documentation |
| 16:43:02 | prpplague | Tangent: where you based out of? |
| 16:43:14 | Tangent | prpplague : I'm in South London |
| 16:43:41 | prpplague | Tangent: cool, i'm in east texas |
| 16:44:04 | Tangent | Amazing how small 6500 miles is when you have a net connection :) |
| 16:44:25 | prpplague | lol, yep |
| 16:44:53 | prpplague | that and a satelite dish with bbc |
| 16:45:59 | prpplague | enjoys Dr.Who, Red Dwarf, and Black Adder |
| 16:46:10 | Tangent | Me too.... tho' I hardly ever watch TV |
| 16:46:44 | prpplague | too much to learn, too little time |
| 16:47:16 | SpaceCoaster | prpplague: when PBS say's "provided by viewers like you.." I think that they should add "...in Britain". |
| 16:47:47 | prpplague | lol, ya that would be a more qualified statement |
| 16:48:31 | SpaceCoaster | Tangent: how goes the PCMCIA? |
| 16:52:38 | prpplague | SpaceCoaster: i don't know about Tangent, but working with these pcmcia drivers for me is like having my fingers in a vise, lots of fun... |
| 16:52:58 | Tangent | Yeah.. my PCMCIA work is still at the 'thinking about it' stage |
| 16:53:35 | SpaceCoaster | prpplague: yeah, I tried to get my Orinoco wireless card to work and just the config made me dizzy |
| 16:54:01 | SpaceCoaster | can't guess what the drivers look like |
| 16:55:26 | prpplague | brb, need to reboot my p4, its sick |
| 17:14:18 | prpplague | how do you like this, up to 2.4.3 there is no code for my pcmcia driver, 2.4.4 they added code to fix my problem, 2.4.5 the code is still there but they took out include so its doesn't work |
| 17:42:36 | as_ | Evnin all. |
| 17:42:42 | prpplague | howdy as |
| 17:45:48 | as_ | Hiya prp. |
| 18:23:31 | prpplague | anyone had problems using the rz command on the tuxscreen? |
| 18:23:49 | Christina | hello |
| 18:24:17 | prpplague | howdy |
| 18:24:59 | Christina | dum deeee dum |
| 18:25:04 | Christina | no one talking? |
| 18:25:11 | Christina | peoples speak |
| 18:25:19 | prpplague | most everyone is working on projects |
| 18:25:23 | Christina | oh |

| 18:25:27 | Christina | Fine then |
| 18:25:30 | prpplague | lol |
| 18:25:34 | Christina | I will tell everyone my favorite quotes. |
| 18:25:37 | Christina | -I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. |
| 18:25:38 | Christina | -I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem. |
| 18:25:38 | Christina | -Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege. |
| 18:25:38 | Christina | -Minds are like Parachutes. They work best when open. |
| 18:25:40 | Christina | seeeeeeeeeeeeee |
| 18:25:49 | Christina | those are the bestest quotes ever.. |
| 18:25:56 | prpplague | sounds good to me |
| 18:26:33 | Christina | -Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. |
| 18:26:35 | Christina | -Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window? |
| 18:26:35 | Christina | -Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? |
| 18:26:35 | Christina | -The reason most people play golf is to wear clothes they would not be caught dead in otherwise. |
| 18:26:37 | Christina | -I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets. |
| 18:26:39 | Christina | -Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place. |
| 18:26:41 | Christina | -I voted for the Democrats because I didn't like the way the Republicans were running the country. Which is turning out to be like shooting yourself in the head to stop your headache. |
| 18:26:46 | Christina | -I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. |
| 18:26:49 | Christina | -Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? |
| 18:26:51 | Christina | -I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. |
| 18:26:56 | Christina | But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners. |
| 18:26:58 | Christina | flooooooder |
| 18:27:34 | as_ | God is a comedian playing to an audience thats afraid to laugh. |
| 18:27:36 | Christina | is an evil floooooder. |
| 18:27:40 | Christina | heh. |
| 18:28:01 | Christina | -Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place. |
| 18:28:07 | Christina | thats my favorite quote |
| 18:28:09 | Christina | ^ |
| 18:28:44 | as_ | My quote was by Henry David thoro I think, but I cant spell his name. |
| 18:29:01 | Christina | Oh. |
| 18:29:12 | Christina | I got some interesting facts... |
| 18:29:17 | Christina | 3) Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least |
| 18:29:17 | Christina | 6 |
| 18:29:17 | Christina | > feet |
| 18:29:17 | Christina | > > > > away |
| 18:29:18 | Christina | > > > > > from a toilet to avoid airborne particles from the flush. |

| 18:29:29 | Christina | holy cow |
| 18:29:31 | Christina | I flooded |
| 18:29:33 | Christina | big time |
| 18:29:47 | Christina | rocks explode in microwaves.. |
| 18:30:30 | as_ | Try pointing us to the URLs then, rather than pasting half the internet. |
| 18:31:42 | Christina | Okay... |
| 18:31:47 | AlHaz | Christina: I think #4 is based on science according to gilligan's island |
| 18:31:50 | Christina | But they are interseting facts. |
| 18:32:02 | Christina | So do I |
| 18:32:13 | AlHaz | Christina: And there have been studies that have found that there's more harmful bacteria in the average american kitchen than the average american bathroom |
| 18:32:13 | cory | airborne flush particles aren't very nice |
| 18:32:43 | Christina | pearls melt in vinigar. |
| 18:32:59 | cory | heh |
| 18:33:08 | cory | what we need is a really good really hi res photo of osama bin laden |
| 18:33:12 | AlHaz | of course they do, lots of things melt in acid |
| 18:33:27 | Christina | I didn't know that |
| 18:33:30 | cory | he has this crazy look in his eyes.. wondering if it would be more pronounced in a bigger picture |
| 18:33:49 | AlHaz | that's like saying "bears shit in the woods" |
| 18:34:59 | Tangent | All the bears I've ever seen shit in the zoo |
| 18:44:28 | prpplague | anyone have an idea what that was all about? |
| 18:45:27 | AlHaz | Nope |
| 18:45:49 | AlHaz | there are lies, damn lies, and stupid lists that get emailed to everyone and their dog by their moronic in-law |
| 18:57:58 | prpplague | hmm, i sure am having problems with the rz that comes with tuxscreen rootfs |
| 21:26:36 | prpplague | how do i get an app to link with ulibc instead of regular libc |
| 21:41:55 | GoRK | prpplague: the easiest way is to use the arm-uclibc-gcc/ld/ar/etc. wrappers that come with uclibc |
| 21:43:54 | prpplague | GoRK: ahh, thanks thats what i needed to know |
| 21:47:29 | prpplague | GoRK: had any problems using rz on the tuxscreen rootfs? |
| 21:49:33 | scanline | aha! |
| 21:49:47 | scanline | that bug spray works pretty well |
| 21:52:32 | prpplague | ?? |
| 21:53:01 | scanline | I found another word-alignment bug... one step closer to a good terminal emulator running on the tuxscreen |
| 21:54:34 | prpplague | rxvt? |
| 21:54:44 | scanline | PicoGUI's terminal widget |
| 21:54:48 | prpplague | ahh |
| 21:56:52 | boris | hey all |
| 21:59:48 | prpplague | howdy |
| 22:11:15 | GoRK | prpplague: no i haven't.. but i dont use it anymore now that i have a network. i just pipe files over with netcat |
| 22:12:27 | prpplague | GoRK: i can't seem tot get rz to work with minicom, i can use it with no problem on my other sa platforms |
| 22:13:07 | GoRK | hrm i don't know.. sorry. i was sz/rz manually |
| 22:14:04 | GoRK | i was typing rz 2> /dev/null on the tuxscreen and sz myfile > /dev/ttyS0 </dev/ttyS0 on my host :) |
| 22:14:31 | GoRK | on the tuxscreen serial console that is |
| 22:14:54 | scanline | prpplague: I have used rz and minicom and haven't had any trouble |
| 22:15:20 | scanline | From within minicom, I ran 'rz' at the tuxscreen's serial console, then used CTRL-A S to select a file to send |
| 22:21:21 | prpplague | ok thanks, must be a bug on my end |
| 22:24:47 | prpplague | since i've not made an ounce of progress today, i'm going home |
| 22:37:37 | Tangent | does the victory dance... Got my LCD on PIC board working now... totally off topic, but it feels good :) |
| 22:38:01 | Tangent | falls prey to the scrollback bug in this IRC client |
