**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 13 02:59:58 2009 Apr 13 17:18:01 hello :) Apr 13 17:18:42 can anyone give me the current status of Angstrom on SimPAD and what versions to use for a stable system? Apr 13 17:19:16 I think the answer is not good Apr 13 17:19:42 hmm, looking at Narcissus - what's the recommended base system / window manager for SimPAD? Apr 13 17:19:55 XorA: you mean there's no current stable version? Apr 13 17:19:59 probably gpe Apr 13 17:20:18 TheCount: I havent seen any simpad checkins for a long while Apr 13 17:20:30 TheCount: I suspect SimPad has slipped out of support Apr 13 17:21:01 XorA: or it's stable. hah. Apr 13 17:21:23 TheCount: keep hoping :_D Apr 13 17:22:09 what's the deal about task-base vs task-base-extended and udev vs. mdev? Apr 13 17:22:38 XorA: yeah, will do. the alternative is to upgrade to Windows CE.NET 4.2 for a chunk of money Apr 13 17:22:45 my brain isnt working well at the moment, Id go for udev and task-base-extended Apr 13 17:23:35 XorA: okay, same I'd have done. hmmmm. Apr 13 17:30:40 good luck with your brain, pretty important piece of hardware ;) Apr 13 17:34:47 XorA: ugh. SimPAD really looks unmaintained. Apr 13 17:35:06 TheCount: as I feared :-( Apr 13 17:35:12 TheCount: not many people have them Apr 13 17:35:31 I dont think the 2.6 series kernel is anywhere near working either Apr 13 17:42:29 XorA: oh, that looks rather good: http://opensimpad.org/index.php/SIMpad_Kernel_2.6 Apr 13 17:43:18 XorA: I also have a rather ancient Angstrom on my SimPAD, iirc .. it just lies in the corner and would have to be revived again do be useful .. selling it doesn't seem to make sense at least Apr 13 17:43:44 TheCount: oh, working kernel, should be easy to make an updated SimPAD version Apr 13 17:44:14 XorA: yupp. 'if I find the time' ;) Apr 13 17:44:31 TheCount: always an issue Apr 13 17:45:12 XorA: let's see whether someone picks this up later - I'll check in again every now and then to see whether the last maintainers are still active Apr 13 17:45:23 XorA: thanks for the heads up Apr 13 17:45:39 TheCount: find a stash of SimPAD and ship them to random #oe guys :-) Apr 13 17:45:53 XorA: hm, well, they're 40 EUR each on ebay Apr 13 17:46:26 XorA: aka: suspect drawbacks / outdatedness ;) Apr 13 17:48:51 XorA: still nice as an extra X screen etc *sigh* Apr 13 17:50:12 hehheh, used to use my zaurus for that before I sold it Apr 13 17:51:21 good old zaurus days Apr 13 17:51:38 I thought about selling akita but couldn't do it Apr 13 17:59:25 dcordes: money is worth more than dead toys :-) Apr 13 18:01:46 XorA: I would spend it on other at-some-point-dead-toys anyway Apr 13 18:02:11 think I spent it on lego Apr 13 18:05:07 anyway off to play games Apr 13 18:05:12 if you are looking for any specific parts, let me know. I have huge boxes of lego in the basement, some with earlier parts Apr 13 18:05:30 dcordes: I have a few thousands pounds worth in a loft in a house :-) Apr 13 18:06:11 oh ok Apr 13 18:06:25 do you participate in design contents and such? Apr 13 18:06:52 dcordes: no, I just play Apr 13 18:07:07 dcordes: I went through a phase couple years back I missed my lego so I bought lots Apr 13 18:08:57 need food bye **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 14 02:59:57 2009
