[03:11] <gernika> time to go fishing
[05:47] * [Chameleon]  is away: I'm busy
[05:54] * [Chameleon]  is away: I'm busy
[07:38] <SmrtJustin> ngiht all
[17:00] <Yono> hi nerochiaro
[17:00] <Yono> what's up?
[17:00] <nerochiaro> hi
[17:01] <nerochiaro> nothing special, it's been a couple of quiet days withou much chance to work though
[17:01] <nerochiaro> you ?
[17:01] <Yono> pretty much the same
[17:03] <nerochiaro> i am running low in space on my hard disks, so i found myself in need to start that too often delayed roject of backing up all my music on DVDs
[17:03] <Yono> what format do you keep it in?
[17:05] <nerochiaro> heh, FLAC for lossless, for lossy well, whatever it was when i acquired it (trascoding lossy is of course evil)
[17:06] <Yono> heh, "acquired it"
[17:06] <nerochiaro> you know it
[17:06] <nerochiaro> :)
[17:07] <Yono> ;)
[17:07] <Yono> how much HD space do you have?
[17:07] <nerochiaro> in total around 300GB, but of course there's also a lot of other stuff
[17:07] <nerochiaro> it's not music that's filling it, it's my messy way of life
[17:08] <nerochiaro> but the easiest thing to move away is music, at the moment, so i'll start with that
[17:08] <nerochiaro> movies too
[17:09] <Yono> yeah, movies take up a lot of space
[17:09] <Yono> especially due to easy to "acquire" torrents :)
[17:09] <Yono> maybe thats just me :-P
[17:10] <nerochiaro> i'm more a friend of the mule
[17:10] <nerochiaro> and i don't watch a lot of movies, so it's not that bad
[17:11] <Seed> nerochiaro: do you also have a wooden leg?
[17:12] <nerochiaro> at the moment, no, thank you
[17:12] <nerochiaro> but i probably didn't catch your citation, of course :)
[17:12] <Yono> just an eyepatch ;)
[17:13] <nerochiaro> Yono: that would be cool, but removable. i like both of my eyes in their sockets and working
[17:13] <Yono> to each his own
[17:13] <nerochiaro> eye ?
[17:14] <Yono> eye eye matie
[17:14] <nerochiaro> arrrr!
[17:14] <Yono> shiver me timbers!
[17:14] <Yono> hmm, u know what would be cool
[17:15] <Yono> letting the CF part of the recorder work with an ethernet add-on, then have the SD work with a bluetooth add-on so that we could use a keyboard and mouse
[17:15] <Yono> that would be awesome
[17:16] <nerochiaro> i'm not really familiar with the recorder, so i'll pass
[19:47] <Koron> bleh, I think my neuros died
[20:14] <iswm> Koron, bummer. What's wrong with it?
[20:22] <Koron> ah, I think I figured it out
[20:22] <Koron> I feel pretty dumb about it now
[20:22] <Koron> it was powering up/down over and over so I decided to charge it overnight
[20:22] <Koron> and then today it was completely dead
[20:23] <Koron> turns out the socket I plugged it into is tied to a light switch
[20:29] <iswm> Oops
[20:30] <iswm> Heh, I used to have my computer plugged into a socket tied to a light switch at my old house. Just so happens, a real light switch for the lights in the hallway was rght next to that switch, so I would end up accidently hitting the wrong switch and cutting the power to my computer.
[20:32] <ssj4droid> desktop?
[20:35] <iswm> It was at the time. It's a toy now.
[20:37] <ssj4droid> why do these sync managers not ignore capitalization? :(
[20:37] <Yono> because they're lazy?
[20:38] <iswm> Hack the source
[20:39] <ssj4droid> I'm lazy too, I don't want to rename all my files
[20:39] <ssj4droid> and I can't hack the source
[22:09] <Seed> Hi JoeBorn
[22:09] <Yono> hi JoeBorn
[22:10] <JoeBorn> hello
[22:10] <Seed> how are you?
[22:10] <Yono> what's up?
[22:10] <Seed> Yono: copycat
[22:10] <Yono> :)
[22:11] <JoeBorn> just fine, and you?
[22:11] <Seed> running on tea
[22:12] <Yono> so Joe, how did TI seem to feel about releasing their code?
[22:20] <JoeBorn> um, well TI isn't too enthused about releasing their code, but our position is that there isn't any of their code in what we released.
[22:20] <JoeBorn> we'll see what they come back with next week.
[22:21] <Yono> lets just hope that they don't notice those: "Property of TI" headers ;)
[22:22] <JoeBorn> well, that's exactly what they did notice, but I think that's all there is of theirs.
[22:22] <JoeBorn> who know's well find out.
[22:22] <Yono> yep
[22:23] <Yono> at least you won't have to worry about that as much with linux
[22:23] <Yono> of course, I heard that there was some trouble with the first round of firmware :(
[22:27] <JoeBorn> always seems to be the way.
[22:29] <Yono> still more of an attempt than the original company
[22:29] <JoeBorn> we'll get it.
[22:30] <Yono> I'm sure you will, and within the week most likely
[22:30] <JoeBorn> yep
[22:30] <Yono> how's the backorder buisness going?
[22:34] <JoeBorn> not pleasant having a backorder.
[22:35] <Yono> no, it isn't
[22:35] <DeepB> could anyone paste a small list of freedb.org mirrors? i think the main server is down
[22:37] <unknown_lamer> DeepB: 64.233.161.104
[22:37] <DeepB> unknown_lamer: ty, should have done that myself
[22:39] <Chawn420> JoeBorn: why the backorder? High sales or production issues?
[22:39] <Chawn420> I hope it's the former... ;-)
[22:40] <JoeBorn> no, it's QC issues, we've had to redo the QC procedures, etc.
[22:40] <Yono> when do you expect shipping to return to normal?
[22:41] * unknown_lamer  blames QC issues for the PCB hooked up his battery lighting on fire
[22:41] <unknown_lamer> I demand a free N2
[22:41] <JoeBorn> hopefully this week.
[22:42] <unknown_lamer> I emailed support about getting a new battery mailed to me and they wanted me to mail my backpack in :-\
[22:42] <Chawn420> that sux. been there and it's not fun. supplier or product QC? (you don't have to answer that)
[22:42] <JoeBorn> supplier in this case.
[22:43] <JoeBorn> unknown, you just want a new battery?
[22:43] <unknown_lamer> JoeBorn: yeah, I emailed support again yesterday
[22:43] <unknown_lamer> JoeBorn: er, I mean Friday
[22:43] <JoeBorn> I can probably help with that, I know some folks at Neuros
[22:43] <Yono> lol
[22:43] <unknown_lamer> JoeBorn: and got a message like "where is it being sent to / would you be able to provide billing details via email"
[22:43] <unknown_lamer> so now I wait until the work week begins :)
[22:44] <Chawn420> I was just wondering because I've been showcasing my Neuros at work...
[22:44] <unknown_lamer> JoeBorn: I kind of put the pcb that is attached to the battery in the HD backpack on backwards when it was late at night ...
[22:45] <Chawn420> It's fascinating for a lot of people that have only heard of IPod.
[22:46] <unknown_lamer> hrm, I wonder if sorune has something like iTunes shuffle feature
[22:46] <Chawn420> But, then I heard about back orders and one of my friends is going on a long trip...
[22:46] <unknown_lamer> since I have to use my neuros in 128M mode for a while
[22:48] <Chawn420> ...he needs to purchase soon. So, how long before you're caught up and shipping normally (best/worst case)?
[22:49] <JoeBorn> I'd have to look at the backorder amount, but I would guess another week and we'll be all caught up.
[22:50] <Chawn420> JoeBorn: thanks for the info. I'll let him know...
[22:50] <Chawn420> Does anybody have a few minutes and some patience to spare? I'm trying to DL and compile the FW for the first time.
[22:51] <DeepB> Chawn420: i could spare a few minutes
[22:51] <Chawn420> I've installed the compiler, Cygwin, and Tortoise, but I'm having issues even getting Tortoise to DL the CVS
[22:52] <Chawn420> DeepB: that would be great.
[22:52] <DeepB> what's your CVSROOT?
[22:52] <Chawn420> Let me get Tortoise up...
[22:53] <DeepB> it should be :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/neuros-firmware
[22:53] <Chawn420> This should work, right? :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/neuros-firmware
[22:53] <Chawn420> yup... ;-)
[22:53] <DeepB> perfect
[22:54] <DeepB> then you may want to download the garbage branch
[22:54] <Chawn420> but when I try to contact the server, for branch lists or whatever, nothing happens once the status window opens
[22:54] <DeepB> as the compilation instructions are for that one and derivatives
[22:54] <DeepB> so turn to the revision tab
[22:55] <DeepB> and choose the 'garbage' branch
[22:57] <DeepB> regular CVS uses outbound TCP 2401, make sure you allow this in your firewall, if any
[22:57] <Chawn420> Should I "update list" to see your branch
[22:57] <Chawn420> Is that not allowed by default? I am just using a router firewall right now..
[22:58] <DeepB> it's not really needed, you can write up 'garbage' manually
[22:59] <DeepB> usually all outbound connections are allowed, but can't tell for your very own setup
[23:00] <DeepB> some personal firewalls mess with that
[23:02] <Chawn420> it's the linksys default settings. I'm looking on the router settings but don't see anything set that would block it.
[23:02] <DeepB> so if you can't reach the sf.net cvs server, check all the stuff you know that could be blocking it
[23:03] <Chawn420> Can I ping it from dos prompt to check?
[23:04] <DeepB> yep, try it, but you can't ping a port
[23:04] <DeepB> nmap comes in handy in those cases
[23:05] <Chawn420> first I'll try Tortoise again. For module, I have :
[23:05] <Chawn420> neuros-firmware
[23:05] <Chawn420> I think that's the only thing other than branch that didn't fill in automatically when I pasted the root
[23:06] <DeepB> that's ok
[23:06] <Chawn420> I just noticed the Port is empty...should I put in what you recommended above?
[23:07] <Chawn420> in tortoise.
[23:07] <DeepB> no, leave it
[23:07] <Chawn420> Error, CVS operation failed
[23:08] <DeepB> can you ping or trace a route to cvs.sourceforge.net?
[23:09] <Chawn420> ping is good to cvs.sourceforge.net
[23:10] <DeepB> try nmap cvs.sourceforge.net -p 2401
[23:10] <DeepB> or any other port scanner you may have in there
[23:11] <Chawn420> I only have DOS through a fresh Win2KPro install. should I get nmap?
[23:12] <DeepB> i'm not aware of any bulk network testing tools installed on a plain vanilla w2k, so you should
[23:12] <DeepB> or any other port scanner you feel comfortable with
[23:14] <gernika> hey all, be sure and keep a copy of your chat with Joe, loglibrarybot is malfunctioning.
[23:17] <DeepB> !loglibrarybot: initiate self-destruct procedures
[23:17] <unknown_lamer> xchat autologs everything
[23:17] <gernika> Dave, I can't let you do that dave.
[23:18] <DeepB> lol
[23:18] <unknown_lamer> pics.livejournal.com
[23:19] <DeepB> what's that? an engine-oil based soup?
[23:19] <unknown_lamer> Blood
[23:20] <Yono> hmm, I don't think so
[23:20] <Yono> there is a drop on the right
[23:20] <Yono> it looks too orangish
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> maybe it's fake but eh
[23:21] <Yono> maybe its the light and you really have slit a sheep's throat ;)
[23:21] <DeepB> err... it can't be blood, blood's thicker
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> The light is really yellow
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> It was more of a dark crimson
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> well, when it was dripping
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> Yeah, there wasn't much corn starch in it
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> and I put too much water in
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> It was an experiment
[23:21] <unknown_lamer> before I wasted an ounce of red food coloring and 16 oz of dark corn syrup
[23:22] <DeepB> so, you're into fx for a b-movie?
[23:22] <unknown_lamer> A faux Satanic Ritual
[23:23] <unknown_lamer> www.winfieldcourier.com
[23:26] <unknown_lamer> Now to see if I have the wood to make the inverted crosses
[23:38] <Chawn420_> DeepB: does cygwin need to be running for Tortoise to work]
[23:38] <Chawn420_> ?
[23:38] <DeepB> nope
[23:39] <DeepB> in fact, it is not strictly needed at all
[23:39] <Chawn420_> DeepB: we just configured to allow outbound TCP 2401
[23:39] <Chawn420_> But I'm still getting an error...
[23:39] <DeepB> was it blocked?
[23:39] <Chawn420_> and I'm also having trouble getting nmap to work... ;-)
[23:41] <Chawn420_> I can't tell...is there a more detailed log for tortoise?
[23:41] <DeepB> it has 3 levels of verbosity
[23:42] <DeepB> but none of them is really useful
[23:42] <DeepB> you may want to perform the CVS commands manually
[23:43] <Chawn420_> ugh...
[23:44] <Chawn420_> Is there a reference somewhere that can "guide" me through it?
[23:44] <Chawn420_> Because I gotta take off...there is still sun here and I need to get some of it. ;-)
[23:45] <DeepB> sf.net has some handy docs on the subject
[23:47] <Chawn420_> DeepB: Cool. TY for the help. I just took a BH in your honor... Cheers, mate.
[23:48] <DeepB> you're welcome
