Jan 19 03:17:49 <mrpacket_> wrong joke.. no more bitcoin?
Jan 19 03:21:04 <toneeee> we mined the bitcoin joke to tears I think
Jan 19 03:42:27 <prpplague> koen: i swear every episode of DiP is just like a little trip back home....
Jan 19 03:45:34 <mranostay> DiP?
Jan 19 03:46:42 <prpplague> mranostay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Paradise_%28TV_series%29
Jan 19 03:55:03 <mranostay> prpplague: LA? :P
Jan 19 03:56:17 <mranostay> "6.       How would someone describe you?"
Jan 19 03:56:25 <mranostay> input? :)
Jan 19 03:58:46 <prpplague> mranostay: uh? what?
Jan 19 03:59:57 <mranostay> prpplague: BeagleBone Cape Contest :)
Jan 19 04:00:10 <mranostay> they sent us all a quiz
Jan 19 04:00:21 <prpplague> "6.       How would someone describe you?" " i have aspergers how the hell would i know?"
Jan 19 04:00:23 <mranostay> emeb_mac: so what did you put for unlimited funds one?
Jan 19 04:00:33 <Russ> two chicks?
Jan 19 04:00:45 <prpplague> Russ: of course
Jan 19 04:00:51 <Russ> but after that?
Jan 19 04:00:57 <prpplague> nothing
Jan 19 04:01:00 <mranostay> after that?
Jan 19 04:01:04 <mranostay> die happy?
Jan 19 04:01:06 <Russ> I would do absolutely nothing
Jan 19 04:01:29 <prpplague> you don't need to be rich for that, look at my cousin, he don't do jack shite
Jan 19 04:01:58 <toneeee> no great <insert country> novel ?
Jan 19 04:02:24 <prpplague> toneeee: quotes from the greatest movie ever
Jan 19 04:03:34 <toneeee> oh, hmm. Office Space, got it
Jan 19 04:03:36 <prpplague> well maybe top 5 up there with blade runner, heavy metal, battle beyond the stars, and logans run
Jan 19 04:04:11 <Russ> am I out of the club if I've only seen 2 of the 5?
Jan 19 04:06:55 <prpplague> well now
Jan 19 04:06:59 <prpplague> that there is a first....
Jan 19 04:07:06 <Russ> power?
Jan 19 04:07:30 <prpplague> the cat just jumped down onto the switch on my multi-plug outlet
Jan 19 04:07:38 <emeb_mac> mranostay: my unlimited funds project would be an SDR board.
Jan 19 04:07:41 <Russ> maybe you should feed your cat
Jan 19 04:08:32 <prpplague> "6.       How would someone describe you?" "they often warn people that i am a ruthless rat bastard and not to turn their backs on me......"
Jan 19 04:08:40 <emeb_mac> battle beyond the stars. heh.
Jan 19 04:08:43 <prpplague> Russ: indeed, or cook it
Jan 19 04:09:02 <emeb_mac> john-boy pilots a voluptuous spaceship.
Jan 19 04:09:18 <Russ> I was wondering about that ship in the movie poster
Jan 19 04:09:26 * prpplague wonders..... red or white white with cat-brisket
Jan 19 04:09:39 <prpplague> s/white/wine
Jan 19 04:10:09 <prpplague> emeb_mac: hehe that was of course just one aspect of the movie
Jan 19 04:10:39 <emeb_mac> prpplague: it's been so long since I saw it that I forgot everything else.
Jan 19 04:11:23 <prpplague> emeb_mac: hehe, it's actually a "space opera" version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Samurai
Jan 19 04:11:31 <mranostay> prpplague: "the voices say i'm a swell guy"
Jan 19 04:11:41 <prpplague> mranostay: hehe
Jan 19 04:11:58 <toneeee> it's netflix-streamable
Jan 19 04:12:23 <prpplague> toneeee: never seen it before?
Jan 19 04:12:54 <toneeee> ages ago it was on heavy rotation on HBO
Jan 19 04:13:05 <prpplague> ahh
Jan 19 04:13:57 <prpplague> *cough* i saw it at the theater when it was first released....
Jan 19 04:13:58 <toneeee> pr: I started it just now for old-time's sake
Jan 19 04:14:07 <emeb_mac> I saw it on cable in college.
Jan 19 04:14:20 <prpplague> emeb_mac: you had cable in college?
Jan 19 04:14:27 <toneeee> pr: I might have too, but maybe didn't. There was so much schlock on the AAFES theaters when I was a kid
Jan 19 04:14:52 <prpplague> hehe
Jan 19 04:15:09 * prpplague considers putting on logans run
Jan 19 04:15:48 * prpplague wonders how many people in the channel have watched the tv series "AutoMan" 
Jan 19 04:15:50 <toneeee> the weather station is about to get NULL'd
Jan 19 04:16:29 <mranostay> emeb_mac: geez some of these questions are like a dating website :)
Jan 19 04:17:04 <emeb_mac> mranostay: never having been to a dating website I'll take your word for it. But I know, right?
Jan 19 04:17:15 <prpplague> mranostay: hehe, you worry me d00d
Jan 19 04:17:46 <mranostay> prpplague: worry? :)
Jan 19 04:18:48 <mranostay> prpplague: you old foggy.. that is socially acceptable now :)
Jan 19 04:19:18 <Russ> You've been living in the bay area too long
Jan 19 04:19:23 <Russ> I think you mean fogey
Jan 19 04:19:37 <mranostay> typo
Jan 19 04:20:14 <prpplague> indeed if a technical interview sounds more like a dating service, you "might be" living in the bat area for too long
Jan 19 04:20:18 <emeb_mac> prpplague: remembering another movie I saw in college - Barbarella!
Jan 19 04:21:01 <emeb_mac> oddly, that wasn't on your list.
Jan 19 04:21:14 <mranostay> what is the plot of that movie again?
Jan 19 04:21:25 <emeb_mac> mranostay: which one?
Jan 19 04:21:29 <prpplague> emeb_mac: *cough*
Jan 19 04:21:56 * prpplague is NOT a jane fonda fan
Jan 19 04:22:10 <emeb_mac> prpplague: didn't think so. :P
Jan 19 04:22:38 <mranostay> prpplague: Hanoi Jane? :)
Jan 19 04:22:45 <prpplague> emeb_mac: where i grew up, jane fonda was about as evil as they come....
Jan 19 04:22:48 <prpplague> mranostay: indeed
Jan 19 04:24:09 <mranostay> emeb_mac: "Tell us something unique or interesting about yourself." what did you put? :)
Jan 19 04:24:40 <emeb_mac> mranostay: left that one blank - nothing interesting about me.
Jan 19 04:28:33 <mranostay> prpplague: you booked the conference hotel for ELC?
Jan 19 04:28:53 <prpplague> mranostay: yea, i like to stay at the same hotel, even if it is more expensive
Jan 19 04:29:32 <mranostay> don't want to walk through the tenderloin at night? :)
Jan 19 04:29:45 <mranostay> where is your sense of risk? :)
Jan 19 04:29:51 <prpplague> mranostay: hehe
Jan 19 04:30:02 <s5fs> haha, gotta love the TL
Jan 19 04:30:15 <prpplague> mranostay: just easier that way
Jan 19 04:30:39 <prpplague> mranostay: i plan to do a bunch of traveling for ELCE, so i am saving up for that, hehe
Jan 19 04:31:48 <prpplague> mranostay: i have a week schedule for some work at bletchley before taking the train up to elce
Jan 19 04:35:08 <emeb_mac> kewl!
Jan 19 05:50:05 <mrpacket_> https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/704708_10151363469857661_2098663860_o.jpg
Jan 19 05:50:57 <mrpacket_> the thing is almost done.
Jan 19 05:52:58 <emeb_mac> nice
Jan 19 05:53:36 <emeb_mac> 4 layer?
Jan 19 05:53:41 <mrpacket_> 4 bidirectional DMX ports driven from the PRU, 2 audio line level outputs, 1 audio line level in.
Jan 19 05:53:46 <mrpacket_> no, just two layer
Jan 19 05:54:02 <mrpacket_> i will pour some ground planes in there
Jan 19 05:54:25 <mrpacket_> beagle sits "under" this
Jan 19 05:55:21 <emeb_mac> what's the connector in the upper right w/ 4 contacts?
Jan 19 05:55:34 <mrpacket_> 4 pin XLR for power
Jan 19 05:55:58 <mrpacket_> often used in the enterainment industry for power
Jan 19 05:56:29 <emeb_mac> right
Jan 19 05:56:44 <mrpacket_> the PRU is really very clever!
Jan 19 07:31:40 <_av500_> yawn
Jan 19 07:35:33 * hitlin37 throws a snowball at av500
Jan 19 07:39:30 <_av500_> :)
Jan 19 07:39:33 <_av500_> hey hitlin37
Jan 19 07:39:46 <_av500_> studying hard?
Jan 19 07:40:05 <hitlin37> yup.
Jan 19 07:41:27 <hitlin37> assignments all the time.
Jan 19 07:41:34 <_av500_> good :)

Jan 19 09:34:33 <koen> jkridner: link to code included
Jan 19 09:37:01 <koen> jkridner: I'll add python-smbus to the feeds next week
Jan 19 09:37:07 <koen> (although it's evil)
Jan 19 09:59:41 <mranostay> koen: python-smbus?..
Jan 19 10:29:51 <mrpackethead_> mranostay: you never sleep
Jan 19 10:30:25 <mrpackethead_> or maybe your bitmining rig broke?
Jan 19 10:46:53 <_av500_> gm
Jan 19 10:49:52 <Russ> gm
Jan 19 11:35:09 <koen> mranostay: yes, it's not quite bitbanging, but close
Jan 19 13:08:34 * _av500_ is being followed by an australian supermodel on G+ - achievement unlocked
Jan 19 13:11:53 <dm8tbr> o.O
Jan 19 13:12:06 <mru> _av500_: actual or fake?
Jan 19 13:14:55 <dm8tbr> that was also my thought
Jan 19 13:18:21 <_av500_> mru: actual it seems, wikipedia entry an all
Jan 19 13:18:23 <_av500_> and*
Jan 19 13:18:35 <mru> or very elaborate fake
Jan 19 13:18:50 <mru> or simply a fake g+ page for real person
Jan 19 13:19:05 <mru> the internet is made of fake
Jan 19 13:19:13 <_av500_> we'll see, so far she asked me to borrow her money for a plane ticket .....
Jan 19 13:19:25 <_av500_> seem legit, no?
Jan 19 13:19:29 <_av500_> :-P
Jan 19 13:19:42 <mru> sure, just like that nigerian prince who offered my lots of money last week
Jan 19 14:09:29 <_av500_> right
Jan 19 14:35:41 <KotH> moin
Jan 19 14:42:22 <emeb_mac> moin moin?
Jan 19 14:44:32 <_av500_> moin moin moin
Jan 19 14:47:08 <emeb_mac> while(1){printf("moin ");}
Jan 19 14:50:58 <KotH> ^C
Jan 19 15:45:30 <toneeee> Mornin…..
Jan 19 16:38:22 <mranostay> morning
Jan 19 16:38:55 <emeb_mac> mranostay: how's it going?
Jan 19 17:31:09 <crashovrd> hello
Jan 19 17:31:35 <crashovrd> i got a beagle board (not XM, not beaglebone) that I am trying to boot Angstrom on
Jan 19 17:31:45 <crashovrd> used to be able to do this couple years back
Jan 19 17:32:00 <crashovrd> but boot environment seems to have changed since then
Jan 19 17:32:19 <crashovrd> so i would welcome any advice and/or assistance accomplishing this task
Jan 19 17:32:44 <crashovrd> i have the SD card formated. with MLO and u-boot
Jan 19 17:32:49 <crashovrd> and that part works fine
Jan 19 17:32:57 <crashovrd> but there used to be a boot.scr
Jan 19 17:33:03 <crashovrd> to set command line arguments
Jan 19 17:33:10 <crashovrd> or i am missing something
Jan 19 17:33:43 <crashovrd> because currently all the board does is hang after "Uncompressing Linux....." "done. booting the kernel"
Jan 19 17:33:53 <crashovrd> and the heatbeat light flashes for a bit
Jan 19 17:33:57 <crashovrd> and then remains on steady
Jan 19 17:34:09 <crashovrd> and i get the beagleboard.org logo on hdmi
Jan 19 17:34:22 <crashovrd> BeagleBoard rev C3
Jan 19 17:34:57 <crashovrd> all files are from http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Jan 19 17:35:28 <crashovrd> using the demo-image-glibc-ipk-2011.1 rootfs
Jan 19 17:45:44 <aholler_> change the console from ttyS2 to ttyO2
Jan 19 17:52:01 <crashovrd> console is ttyO2,115200n8
Jan 19 17:52:12 <crashovrd> from uboot printenv
Jan 19 17:54:04 <crashovrd> uboot version is SPL 2011.12-00010-ga3eb89c
Jan 19 17:54:17 <crashovrd> Jan 29 2012
Jan 19 20:14:33 <yates> koen: may i pm you?
Jan 19 20:50:36 <toneeee> I know this is a small feat, but thanks to koen's instructionsXorA's instructions on slimlogic, I just managed to boot my
Jan 19 20:50:45 <toneeee> boot my own kernel. heck, I'm excited :D
Jan 19 21:16:07 <mranostay> emeb: ok i suppose
Jan 19 21:24:38 <mranostay> prpplague: how early does the ELC schedule get released?
Jan 19 22:00:45 <mrpackethead_> customers..
Jan 19 22:00:47 <mrpackethead_> grrr.
Jan 19 22:04:26 <mranostay> s/customers/people/
Jan 19 22:05:05 <mrpackethead_> " i know we told you we wanted to use XLR connecotrs
Jan 19 22:05:31 <mrpackethead_> but now can we change to screw terminals...
Jan 19 22:05:52 <mrpackethead_> " sure.. your paying the bills "
Jan 19 22:05:59 <toneeee> Customer: It's what's for dinner.
Jan 19 22:09:30 <mrpackethead_> mranostay: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/704708_10151363469857661_2098663860_o.jpg
Jan 19 22:11:34 <mranostay> mrpackethead_: what is it?
Jan 19 22:11:58 <mranostay> two layer?
Jan 19 22:12:20 <mrpackethead_> yes.. two layer.
Jan 19 22:12:57 <mrpackethead_> four ports of bidirectional ( RDM biased ) DMX, + 2 line level audio outs, + 1 line level in..
Jan 19 22:13:17 <toneeee> mrpackethead: very nice!
Jan 19 22:14:09 <mranostay> your own dmx cape?
Jan 19 22:20:24 <mrpackethead_> its a bit more trickery than the beaglebone cape entry
Jan 19 22:20:30 <mrpackethead_> that was "dmxish"
Jan 19 22:20:48 <mrpackethead_> dmx shoudl be optically and galvancially isolated..
Jan 19 22:21:21 <mrpackethead_> it does'nt have to be, but it shoudl be bidirectional, so it supports RDM ( remote device management.. its sort of like SNMP but its not IP )
Jan 19 22:21:43 <mranostay> their's wasn't?
Jan 19 22:21:46 <mrpackethead_> no..
Jan 19 22:21:48 <mrpackethead_> jsut RX
Jan 19 22:21:52 <mrpackethead_> sorry just TX
Jan 19 22:22:08 <mrpackethead_> also, i ran up his code..
Jan 19 22:22:12 <mrpackethead_> the timing is wrong.
Jan 19 22:22:15 <mrpackethead_> not to spec.
Jan 19 22:22:18 <mranostay> they were using relays for the switching right?
Jan 19 22:22:25 <mrpackethead_> no relay
Jan 19 22:22:43 <mranostay> ouch
Jan 19 22:22:45 <mrpackethead_> his hardware was a single transciver..
Jan 19 22:22:52 <mranostay> that seems like a bad idea
Jan 19 22:22:55 <mrpackethead_> not sure what you'd use a relay for
Jan 19 22:22:57 <mrpackethead_> ?
Jan 19 22:23:06 <mranostay> ah nm
Jan 19 22:23:19 * mranostay reads the DMX spec aka wiki page
Jan 19 22:23:36 <mrpackethead_> its pretty simple protocol..
Jan 19 22:23:47 <mrpackethead_> 512 channels, each 8 bits
Jan 19 22:23:54 <mrpackethead_> multidrop serial.
Jan 19 22:24:02 <mrpackethead_> rs485 bus
Jan 19 22:24:19 <mrpackethead_> easy to implement in a small microprocesor.
Jan 19 22:24:34 <mrpackethead_> i've build many DMX receivers using a PIC16f688 ( $0.90 )
Jan 19 22:24:53 <mrpackethead_> and generated PWM signals to control lights etc
Jan 19 22:29:03 <mrpackethead_> my wiki entry on installing OLA on a Beaglebone made it into the beaglebone front pages..
Jan 19 22:30:31 <mrpackethead_> not exactly rocket science.. so i was suprized.
Jan 19 22:33:55 <mranostay> Boris?
Jan 19 22:34:35 <emeb> the spider
Jan 19 22:36:24 * mranostay puts out credit card for united nuclear
Jan 19 22:39:13 <Russ> varys?
Jan 19 22:40:42 <mrpackethead_> yes, boris Houndleroy
Jan 19 22:43:14 <mranostay> do i really need Cobalt-60 test discs?
Jan 19 22:43:54 <mrpackethead_> you really want somethign with a very short decay time mranostay
Jan 19 22:44:25 <mrpackethead_> so you have something interesting to measure.
Jan 19 22:44:40 <mrpackethead_> i'm trying to remember what we used when I was at universeity
Jan 19 22:44:51 <mrpackethead_> in Physics 101
Jan 19 22:45:00 <mranostay> probably that
Jan 19 22:45:03 <mranostay> or Co-57
Jan 19 22:45:15 <mrpackethead_> it was short enough that we could measure the decay in a single lab
Jan 19 22:45:21 <mrpackethead_> so, it can't have been long.
Jan 19 22:45:54 <mrpackethead_> lunch time.
Jan 19 22:46:03 <mrpackethead_> wonder if i can make a lunchcape
Jan 19 22:50:13 <mrpackethead_> mmm.. baconcape
Jan 19 22:50:20 <mrpackethead_> stack that with a beercape
Jan 19 23:32:35 <yates> koen: may i pm you?
Jan 20 00:34:48 <yates> koen: may i pm you?
Jan 20 00:36:31 <yates> jkridner: do you have experience getting a tiwi-ble module up on a beagleboard xm using the com6l adapter board?
Jan 20 00:36:50 <yates> does anyone have experience getting a tiwi-ble module up on a beagleboard xm using the com6l adapter board?
Jan 20 00:37:26 <yates> "hcitool dev" lists no devices
Jan 20 00:37:26 <toneeee> I don't. what's a tiwi-ble module?
Jan 20 00:37:52 <yates> toneeee: it's a tri-mode (bluetooth classic, bluetooth le, and wifi) rf module from LSR
Jan 20 00:39:25 <toneeee> gotcha.
Jan 20 00:39:51 <yates> but it sure looks like everything necessary is configured, e.g., there are entries under the /sys/class/bluetooth folder, and various modules are loaded for bluetooth as reported by lsmod
Jan 20 00:41:14 <yates> jkridner: thanks for the article on elinux.org
Jan 20 00:45:14 <yates> toneeee: it's based on the TI wl1271 chip.
Jan 20 00:45:31 <toneeee> I'll look it up when I am finished watching the parrot bot: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/florida-student-builds-robotic-car-pet-parrot-article-1.1240828
Jan 20 00:54:27 <yates> toneeee: that is cute
Jan 20 00:54:44 <Russ> give that bird a car
Jan 20 00:54:54 <toneeee> yates: yeah I liked the parrot being a Grey and the owner being a Gray
Jan 20 00:55:32 <yates> when i was a boy, we lived in Panama for 3 years and had two yellow-breasted Amazon parrots we called Pat and Polly.
Jan 20 00:55:51 <yates> they were wonderful pets (for the most part...)
Jan 20 00:58:58 <yates> they could bite the hell out of your finger, though!
Jan 20 00:59:02 <yates> if they got mad.
Jan 20 00:59:13 <Russ> this video makes it much more clear that the bird is making purposeful movements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEqFV_3tUX8
Jan 20 00:59:17 <toneeee> yates: we only had parakeets , heh.
Jan 20 01:03:27 <yates> toneeee: much safer...
Jan 20 01:03:37 <Russ> had a couple of cockatiels
Jan 20 01:44:30 <Russ> w00t, new ELC poster came out http://i.imgur.com/zxv5mNE.jpg
Jan 20 01:49:33 <mranostay> heh
Jan 20 01:49:51 <prpplague> hehe
Jan 20 02:56:49 <mrpackethead_> right connnectors all changed.
Jan 20 02:57:33 <toneeee> finished Battle Beyond the Stars, lol
