| 00:55.28 | brailsmt | yeah |
| 00:55.37 | brailsmt | we did test review |
| 00:55.50 | fugalh | anything interesting or important? |
| 00:55.53 | brailsmt | and then he went over the nat lab (that is when i tuned out...) |
| 00:56.08 | brailsmt | the test review... |
| 00:57.05 | brailsmt | i took notes... (for a small fee i'll let you look at them...) |
| 00:57.10 | brailsmt | ;) |
| 00:57.39 | brailsmt | yup, small enough... |
| 00:57.40 | brailsmt | :) |
| 00:58.37 | fugalh | good. wasn't sure brussel sprouts would be big enough |
| 01:00.59 | brailsmt | i was kinda hoping for asparagus... mmmm |
| 01:01.10 | fugalh | with cheese... |
| 01:03.35 | fugalh | we get one double-sided page of notes, right? |

| 01:14.06 | brailsmt | kryptik: the BC comic strip by Johnny Hart... one of my favorites |

| 01:16.17 | brailsmt | fugalh: does it distinguish between reboot and just normal start up? |

| 01:16.56 | fugalh | brailsmt: what does it matter? ;-) |
| 01:17.13 | fugalh | I've been looking for something like this. I didn't think to look at cron |
| 01:17.32 | brailsmt | fugalh: btw, I sent an email to matz asking if he would be interesting in coming to BYU to give a presentation to the dept, if the opportunity presented itself... |
| 01:17.59 | brailsmt | he said definately... |
| 01:18.46 | fugalh | :) |
| 01:19.06 | kryptik | brailsmt: How might one go about accepting input in ruby? |
| 01:19.14 | brailsmt | he was asking why on earth i would prototype my scheduler in ruby... |
| 01:19.31 | brailsmt | foo = $stdin.read |
| 01:19.42 | kryptik | thanks much |
| 01:20.00 | brailsmt | kryptik: what distro do you use? |
| 01:20.22 | kryptik | gentoo and redhat |
| 01:20.36 | fugalh | i get the feeling only dr. woodfield and maybe dr. knutson would know why anyone would prototype anything at all |
| 01:20.39 | brailsmt | in gentoo i suggest "emerge ri" |
| 01:20.47 | kryptik | emerge ri? |
| 01:21.06 | brailsmt | yes... |
| 01:21.10 | kryptik | How would I use that |
| 01:21.33 | brailsmt | then from the command line "ri IO.read" will give you documentation for the IO.read method... |
| 01:21.48 | brailsmt | 'ri' will give a list of classes with documentation... |
| 01:21.59 | kryptik | k |
| 01:22.11 | brailsmt | 'ri IO' will give docs for the IO class, etc... |
| 01:22.24 | brailsmt | ri coupled with irb is *very* handy |
| 01:23.38 | kryptik | ri stands for ruby input, am I right? |
| 01:23.40 | brailsmt | kryptik: have you used irb? |
| 01:23.56 | kryptik | Nah, I am way new to it all |
| 01:24.10 | kryptik | like just got 5 lines of code that do something. |

| 03:09.41 | brailsmt_ | runlevel also does it |
| 03:09.43 | brailsmt_ | :) |

| 05:07.36 | Mecworks | TimRiker: I'm looking for a cheap source...no luck so far. The lowest price I can find is about $6.00 or so. |
| 05:08.18 | Mecworks | for a prototype, all I need is a pigtail adapter though. I can make antennas and swap them out that way. |
| 06:53.17 | TimRiker | Mecworks: agreed. you'd have more motivation if you bought yourself a card you would keep. ;-) |
| 07:19.59 | Mecworks | I'd have more motivation if I could afford a card that I could keep 8^) Actualy, jfree has one that I can barrow I think. |
| 07:23.51 | Mecworks | TimRiker: Tonight I tested a 3/4 ground plane antenna with a passive connection (no physical contact, just a 1/4 wave inducting antenna placed near the 802.11 card and manuverd for strongest signal) and got a 7 dB gain... 8^) |
| 07:25.45 | Mecworks | I have also made a j-pole antenna that I still need to test. It's a standard j-pole but build on a PC board. I drew the antenna on the copper with etch resist pen and etched it, connected the small coax. I'll try testing it tomarow. |
| 07:43.51 | TimRiker | sweet. |
| 07:44.05 | TimRiker | so the 3/4 should do better when connected or not? |
| 07:49.15 | Mecworks | I would think it would be better. |
| 07:50.59 | Mecworks | I won't know until I test it. I also need to test 5/8ths with 1/4 lambda radials (the 3/4s antenna also has 1/4 lambda radials - bent downward at 45 degrees. You saw it before I cut the radials.. |
| 07:52.17 | Mecworks | ) |
| 07:55.33 | Mecworks | These are also omni directional antennas. Good for base stations or computers that would move arownd a base station. I''ll try some directional antennas later on. |
| 08:46.18 | TimRiker | so how long do you think it'll take me to copy 130 cds on to a hd? ;-) |
| 08:47.40 | TimRiker | too bad we're not line of sight. a directional antenna should reach no problem if we were. |
