Jun 15 04:37:58 <kblin> morfic: compared to what?
Jun 15 04:43:03 <tinker-f595> kblin: maybe he meant in shipping?
Jun 15 04:43:47 <kblin> hehe
Jun 15 04:44:22 <kblin> well, the sheeva sure is slower than a full-fangled system in many aspects
Jun 15 04:53:34 <tinker-f595> depends on what you mean?
Jun 15 04:53:49 <tinker-f595> it is faster than many systems that I have used in the past
Jun 15 04:54:36 <tinker-f595> performance wise it is roughly equivalent to a PIII
Jun 15 04:59:18 <kblin> it's far from able to saturate a gigabit network with data
Jun 15 05:00:04 <kblin> I've never tried that with a P3, so I'm not sure if that's due to the NIC or CPU
Jun 15 05:08:52 <kblin> also I'd argue that "yikes, is a P3 slow" applies as well
Jun 15 05:09:07 <kblin> not that this'd be surprising
Jun 15 05:38:11 <tinker-f595> well I have not found the sheevaplug particularly slow
Jun 15 05:39:29 <tinker-f595> also depends on which kernel and module version you are using
Jun 15 05:46:51 <kblin> I'm using the version coming with the marvell system update 1.0
Jun 15 05:51:51 <kblin> arguably, I don't use a sheva because it's blazingly fast
Jun 15 05:52:10 <kblin> a slug is sloooooow as wel :)
Jun 15 05:52:13 <kblin> well...
Jun 15 05:54:19 <kblin> I'm running a sheevaplug because it has enough oomph to run the stuff I need, but keeps my power bill down
Jun 15 06:03:45 <jzaw_pl> [07:54:18]  <kblin> I'm running a sheevaplug because it has enough oomph to run the stuff I need, but keeps my power bill down
Jun 15 06:03:45 <jzaw_pl> i was going to mention that ... that is my reason for using one
Jun 15 06:03:53 <jzaw_pl> i could certainly use more grunt
Jun 15 06:03:56 <jzaw_pl> but it does the job
Jun 15 06:04:07 <jzaw_pl> 4 webcams zoneminder and motion detect
Jun 15 06:05:48 <tinker-f595> jzaw_pl: might be that the software you are using needs optimizing
Jun 15 06:06:17 <tinker-f595> what are you using for motion detection?
Jun 15 06:11:14 <jzaw_pl> zoneminder has it built in
Jun 15 06:11:30 <jzaw_pl> http://www.zoneminder.com/
Jun 15 06:11:50 <jzaw_pl> ppl run this sort of thing on big fat 4-core behemoths
Jun 15 06:12:09 <jzaw_pl> higher resolutions and higher fps im sure
Jun 15 06:12:20 <jzaw_pl> but im very pleased with the results on a sheeva
Jun 15 06:13:33 <jzaw_pl> http://photos.dzki.co.uk/seven_screens_evening_sun.png
Jun 15 06:14:36 <kblin> mine is a file server
Jun 15 06:15:36 <jzaw_pl> i think ill build one when i get back
Jun 15 06:16:40 <tinker-f595> jzaw_pl: do you know about Motion?
Jun 15 06:17:02 <jzaw_pl> not at all
Jun 15 06:17:22 <jzaw_pl> as in 3d rendering s/w?
Jun 15 06:17:31 <tinker-f595> web page http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome  SVN  http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/MotionSubversion
Jun 15 06:17:53 <tinker-f595> no as in Motion detection and recording
Jun 15 06:18:31 <jzaw_pl> looking now
Jun 15 06:18:37 <jzaw_pl> but no ive not used it
Jun 15 06:18:44 <jzaw_pl> might have to try it when i get home :)
Jun 15 06:19:28 <tinker-f595> I am not sure if it has been compiled for arm5tel
Jun 15 06:20:10 <tinker-f595> I need to read through the source code and see if there is anything x86 specific other than the make files
Jun 15 06:20:30 <jzaw_pl> ooh it might have some features i might like to use
Jun 15 06:20:32 <tinker-f595> I know people that have used it successfully on low end AMD geode systems
Jun 15 06:20:38 <jzaw_pl> like turning off auto brightness and exposure
Jun 15 06:20:43 <jzaw_pl> cool !
Jun 15 06:21:02 <tinker-f595> be nice to get it working on ARM
Jun 15 06:23:33 <jzaw_pl> yes
Jun 15 06:23:42 <jzaw_pl> this is especially problematic in zm
Jun 15 06:23:50 <jzaw_pl> but there seems to be a switch in motion
Jun 15 06:23:50 <tinker-f595> jzaw_pl: good night, time for sleep...it is getting late in PDT zone
Jun 15 06:23:50 <jzaw_pl> Ignore sudden massive light intensity changes given as a percentage of the picture area that changed intensity.
Jun 15 06:24:00 <jzaw_pl> ah its 8:23 am here
Jun 15 06:24:05 <jzaw_pl> what time there? nn
Jun 15 06:24:09 <tinker-f595> 11:24 pm
Jun 15 06:24:17 <jzaw_pl> THATS not late !!!
Jun 15 06:24:18 <jzaw_pl> hehehe
Jun 15 06:24:28 <tinker-f595> it is when you have to work for a living
Jun 15 06:24:33 <jzaw_pl> i thought you were going to say 3am or more
Jun 15 06:24:38 <jzaw_pl> yeah true
Jun 15 06:24:51 <tinker-f595> and juggle a lot of different hats at the same time
Jun 15 06:25:07 <jzaw_pl> does hat juggling pay well? ....
Jun 15 06:25:16 <tinker-f595> need to look at some Java test code I wrote 3 years ago and work out what the hell it does ;)
Jun 15 06:25:23 <jzaw_pl> hehe
Jun 15 06:25:23 <jzaw_pl> k
Jun 15 06:25:27 <tinker-f595> wheel barrow full
Jun 15 06:25:32 <jzaw_pl> ah nice
Jun 15 06:25:58 <tinker-f595> takes a long time to get to that stage
Jun 15 06:26:18 <jzaw_pl> as long as thats not wheel barrow full's of rupee's thats ok
Jun 15 06:26:23 <tinker-f595> ha
Jun 15 06:28:06 <tinker-f595> though I have heard that salaries have been increasing at a rapid pace in Banaglore
Jun 15 21:14:06 <bkero> Does anyone have the uap8688.ko file from the 2.6.32 kernel modules?
