**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 07 02:59:56 2008 Jun 07 06:55:28 Hey Matt Jun 07 06:55:38 hey all Jun 07 06:55:45 hey Tony Jun 07 06:56:07 i have been contemplating a hack where i intercept the /dev/ir Jun 07 06:56:20 hehe I was reading that. :) Jun 07 06:56:21 and when, say, the stop key is hit, send red-stop Jun 07 06:56:26 sounds like a good hack Jun 07 06:56:38 oh Jun 07 06:56:43 not the boot ir hack Jun 07 06:56:58 but starting a recording playing and jumping to the bookmark won't be so easy Jun 07 06:57:29 how would you hijack the ir device? Jun 07 06:57:43 i have been furiously googling Jun 07 06:57:55 would you change the name in wizdvp? Jun 07 06:57:59 well, i did the googling some months ago actually Jun 07 06:58:14 setup 2 devices with the same node/info perhaps Jun 07 06:58:25 ah k Jun 07 07:00:09 do you have a programable remote? Jun 07 07:00:29 it might be better to just chain up some ir commands on that. Jun 07 07:06:19 yeah, i do Jun 07 07:06:24 you might be right Jun 07 07:06:39 it was more the challenge of hacking the wiz to an inch of its life :-) Jun 07 07:07:00 i should build a serial to ttl adapter too Jun 07 07:07:17 hehe yeah what am I thinking I should be encouraging the hack. ;-) Jun 07 07:07:46 I'll have to open my wiz up again and get my ttl onto those pins Jun 07 07:07:56 now that we know the config Jun 07 07:08:52 awesome info coming out now in that thread Jun 07 07:09:01 yeah Jun 07 07:09:14 matthewc seems to know his stuff. Jun 07 07:13:58 Dad was trying to convince me to go to Batemans tomorrow for 2 days... but I want to get into some more fiddling with the Wiz... hehe. Jun 07 07:14:32 hehe I'm currently getting some work done on WizMac Jun 07 07:14:36 I know the feeling Jun 07 07:14:52 you have a wife/partner don't you? Jun 07 07:14:52 maybe you could take your wiz with you? Jun 07 07:14:57 lol Jun 07 07:15:07 yeah a partner Jun 07 07:15:17 not a wife yet. ;-) Jun 07 07:15:52 it must be tough, my gf is in Germany, she still gets the shits with me when I am trying to say goodbye to her late at night to get in and do some coding/TV catching up/whatever Jun 07 07:16:39 hehe yeah I do most of my coding after my gf has gone to bed Jun 07 07:17:05 i have a sneaking suspicion when she comes here, she will demand i come to bed at the same time :-) Jun 07 07:17:25 hehe Jun 07 07:17:43 you could sneak out after she goes to sleep Jun 07 07:17:51 or you could work on a laptop Jun 07 07:17:55 ;-) Jun 07 07:18:22 i have taken the laptop to bed occassionally, but i tend to use my N95 to do lazy bed surfing these days Jun 07 07:19:15 :) Jun 07 07:19:31 * Yuv422 is a fan of mobile computing Jun 07 07:19:49 i did a bit when I went to visit her in germany a bit over a month ago Jun 07 07:19:57 I got a $250 mobile phone bill Jun 07 07:20:08 Ouch! Jun 07 07:20:21 friggin Optus with their silly roaming charges. About $20 of that was phone calls, and the rest was data... Jun 07 07:20:22 I don't bother with my iphone now though Jun 07 07:20:27 edge is too slow Jun 07 07:20:32 and expensive Jun 07 07:20:41 huh, Iphone? You live in Australia right? Jun 07 07:20:47 yeah Jun 07 07:20:55 ebay is your friend Jun 07 07:20:58 THere isn't GPRS Iphones yet? Jun 07 07:21:03 sorry, 3G I meant Jun 07 07:21:23 The N95 walks all over the Iphone for features Jun 07 07:21:24 they should be announcing that on monday in the US Jun 07 07:21:39 Yeah, I saw that get a mention recently Jun 07 07:21:49 yeah I've used the N95 too Jun 07 07:21:56 it's a nice little phone Jun 07 07:21:58 unfortunately the Iphone walks all over hte N95 for usability thought :-) Jun 07 07:22:15 you can't mms on an iphone :( Jun 07 07:22:21 The photo quality from the latest f/w is quite good Jun 07 07:22:39 yeah, i have read a tonne of "N95 vs Iphone" yankee reviews etc Jun 07 07:23:00 I didn't like how long it took to activate the gps Jun 07 07:23:08 MMS, fixed battery, non-3G, etc etc Jun 07 07:23:21 GPS is seconds only with AGPS Jun 07 07:24:05 (which sends a 1kbyte packet to a nokia website to get details of the sat positions, approx 5k resonse... so isn't expensive if you have a cheap data plan) Jun 07 07:24:21 i used the gps all over germany Jun 07 07:25:31 ah k Jun 07 07:25:34 cost about 40cents per launch :-) (is way cheaper here of course. If I could have got a prepaid with guaranteed data I would have done it, but none of the shops selling pre-paids had any idea whatsoever, and language barrier was a prob, even with my gf there to translate, because she can't easily translate techo talk) Jun 07 07:26:02 hehe Jun 07 07:26:14 how's your german? Jun 07 07:26:21 very poor Jun 07 07:26:30 about 25words or so only Jun 07 07:26:35 ah k Jun 07 07:26:47 I was in germany early last year for a holiday Jun 07 07:27:03 with zero german knowledge. ;-) Jun 07 07:27:07 it was a wonderful place, even though it was between 5 and 14 deg most of the time Jun 07 07:27:23 I had fun zipping around on the autobauns though Jun 07 07:27:34 my gf lives there. she came to australia on a 1year worknig visa last year and we met here Jun 07 07:27:42 she has a 1litre Yarris Jun 07 07:27:49 hehe Jun 07 07:27:54 (looks the same as a toyota echo) Jun 07 07:27:58 I was driving a motorhome Jun 07 07:28:08 oh! Jun 07 07:28:17 I use the term zipping with some artistic license Jun 07 07:28:21 ;-) Jun 07 07:28:25 170km/hr we managed to reach, her car was at 6200rpm in 5th gear Jun 07 07:28:40 what's the redline at? Jun 07 07:28:55 about that... i think it was 6500, can't remember, didn't care :-) Jun 07 07:29:11 :) Jun 07 07:29:14 it is only 4years old, it won't let you explode it I wouldn't think Jun 07 07:30:25 my RS is three this year Jun 07 07:30:34 pink slips here I come. :( Jun 07 07:30:34 I almost had 2 orgasms though, while cruising along at about 150km/hr (or 140ish.. much nicer to the engine and fuel economy at that lesser speed) in the middle lane going past trucks and whatever, all of a sudden, a huge v8 or v12 roar of a nice new BMW flying past, and then a few days later, similar with a beast of a sporty looking Audi Jun 07 07:31:06 I reckon those cars were doing double my speed almost, or at least 70km/hr faster than us... and the sound was awesome Jun 07 07:31:07 yeah they have three lanes Jun 07 07:31:26 audi/merc lane, car lane and truck lane Jun 07 07:31:40 i really which I had my WRX there, apart from the fuel price.. it was about the same in Euro as it was here in Australia in $ Jun 07 07:31:53 Ouch Jun 07 07:32:07 so at that time, about 1.45Euro Jun 07 07:33:42 i just loved the people, food, architecture and cars there Jun 07 07:34:01 i was drooling sooo many times over the cars going past us. Jun 07 07:34:28 and the fast trains Jun 07 07:34:40 they made the fast cars look slow Jun 07 07:34:46 hehe, didn't go on any of those Jun 07 07:34:56 yeah me neither. :( Jun 07 07:34:56 went on a couple of steam trains Jun 07 07:35:01 hehe Jun 07 07:35:51 i would love to build a house here with all the same fittings/fixtures that nearly every place we stayed in had there, it was all quality stuff, no cheap chinese crap Jun 07 07:36:28 taps, toilets, hinges, doors, locks, windows, window openers.... Jun 07 07:36:53 I hear the build quality is even worse in the US Jun 07 07:37:47 we stayed with her relatives in 6 different areas, and the housing was quite similar in all the places despite some being 80years old and some newer and some east and some west Jun 07 07:38:09 the doors all were solid wood (internal and external) with a "lip" on it, and really quality door hinges Jun 07 07:38:33 i guess this is to stop the draughts between rooms when they close off areas of the house when it gets damn cold :-) Jun 07 07:40:23 what the heck... just looking at my firewall log, and there is a tonne of 8080 and 1433 TCp attempts, most of them from the same IP subnet as the one I am on!! Jun 07 07:41:09 hmm Jun 07 07:42:39 obviously some script kiddy or something, must be hanging off optusnet somewhere Jun 07 07:43:18 or a compromised machine Jun 07 07:44:01 it is a bit odd actually, because my ip address is very different to the one that the log is claiming is the destination address Jun 07 07:44:05 maybe it changed recently Jun 07 07:45:02 I've just got my filename format string code working Jun 07 07:45:04 Yay Jun 07 07:45:05 !_@_yyyyMMdd_HHmm.'ts' Jun 07 07:45:08 becomes Jun 07 07:45:16 ABC2_Scrapheap challenge_20080605_1835.ts Jun 07 07:45:56 ahh cool, so you are coding something to rename the tvwiz files, or is this the wizfx downloader renaming? Jun 07 07:46:20 yeah wizmac download file renaming Jun 07 07:46:56 I'm piggy backing on the unicode date spec. Jun 07 07:46:58 http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-4.html#Date_Format_Patterns Jun 07 07:47:06 with ! for channel name Jun 07 07:47:11 and @ for event name Jun 07 07:47:30 I'll probably put in a few more Jun 07 07:47:37 for type either tv or radio Jun 07 07:47:42 and duration Jun 07 07:55:38 You can specify the download directory now too. Jun 07 07:56:02 don't have a mac, so havent' had a play... Jun 07 07:56:15 :) Jun 07 07:56:23 good you can spec the directory, where did it end up before? Jun 07 07:56:33 ~/Desktop Jun 07 07:56:37 ahh, ok Jun 07 07:56:47 that's still the default Jun 07 07:56:53 but users can change that now Jun 07 07:57:02 das ist gut Jun 07 07:57:09 I'll have to ask people what they'd like as a default filename now too Jun 07 07:58:27 ja Jun 07 07:59:09 Ich hoffe, Leute werden es mögen. Jun 07 07:59:11 :-) Jun 07 08:00:14 I've got to go though and add all the warning dialogs now Jun 07 08:00:25 warning directory doesn't exist Jun 07 08:00:33 warning file already exists Jun 07 08:00:34 etc Jun 07 08:00:41 boring stuff Jun 07 08:01:22 not enough diskspace Jun 07 08:02:01 it is annoying to have to put the user friendly stuff in Jun 07 08:02:42 yeah but it saves all the complaints Jun 07 08:02:48 well some of the complaints Jun 07 09:20:55 openwiz: efry * r7 wizmac/trunk/ (13 files in 3 dirs): Jun 07 09:20:55 openwiz: Added new preferences window.
