[00:27] <johndesigner> anyone know of the best place to UL video files that don't play well on the OSD?
[00:27] <johndesigner> especially if they are about 350mb to 800mb
[00:28] <crweb> johndesigner: you can seen the smallest one you have to me
[00:28] <crweb> give me a sec to setup account
[00:28] <johndesigner> wait a sec ont he setup
[00:29] <johndesigner> I dont have the specific file jsut yet
[00:29] <crweb> ah
[00:29] <johndesigner> well i have one
[00:30] <johndesigner> one sofar that dops some frames - 1310 v bitrate/128kbps
[00:31] <johndesigner> BUT..heh.. iam viewing it over my 11g netowrk to OSD to USB vidCapture card to my computer...:D
[00:31] <johndesigner> hardly a scientific test
[00:31] <crweb> yeah, might be unreliable
[00:32] <crweb> and a little odd
[00:32] <crweb> heh
[00:32] <johndesigner> playing pretty well tho considering all those transfers
[00:32] <crweb> thats good to hear
[00:33] <johndesigner> heh..yeah an odd setup
[00:33] <johndesigner> i use it to to view OSD GUI on one screen while deigning on another
[00:33] <johndesigner> able to take screen shots to throw into graphics programs as reference
[00:34] <johndesigner> on the fly
[00:34] <crweb> thats what i do to
[00:34] <crweb> only i use my 442
[00:35] <johndesigner> neat..how does the 442 figure in for you?
[00:35] <crweb> osd out -> 442 -> usb cable ->pc
[00:35] <crweb> i use it as a mini tv
[00:35] <crweb> sitting on my desk
[00:36] <johndesigner> oh right 442 + monitor
[00:36] <johndesigner> clever little monkey
[00:36] <johndesigner> 442 = monitor is what i menat
[00:36] <crweb> its how i test all the qt gui stuff
[00:38] <johndesigner> qt?
[00:38] <crweb> the new transparent bar for playback details is pretty neat
[00:39] <crweb> www.trolltech.com qt4
[00:39] <crweb> www.limesg.com
[00:39] <crweb> quick demo of qt in action on osd
[00:39] <crweb> i think.. or its:
[00:39] <crweb> www.limesg.com
[00:41] <johndesigner> hmm the test.avi is just a staic image - played on wmp
[00:41] <johndesigner> is that correct?
[00:41] <crweb> oh, yeah
[00:41] <crweb> gao wanted to see a screenshot
[00:42] <crweb> it was easier just to record a few sec
[00:42] <johndesigner> oh, gotcha
[00:43] <crweb> you can try anonymouse@quads.vwords.com
[00:43] <crweb> err,l anonymous@quads.vwords.com
[00:43] <crweb> and uploads into upload dir
[00:43] <johndesigner> where is the transparent bar you speak of /
[00:43] <johndesigner> ?
[00:43] <nerochiaro> anonymouse is much better
[00:43] <crweb> heh
[00:44] <crweb> open.neurostechnology.com
[00:44] <crweb> wait
[00:44] <johndesigner> ah thx
[00:45] <crweb> ah, somebody recorded tivo
[00:45] <crweb> nvrmind
[00:45] <crweb> didn't see that at first glance
[00:45] <crweb> i should probably boot my osd and actually see what it looks like..
[00:46] <johndesigner> heh, i spend days and days design that bar...
[00:46] <crweb> ;)
[00:46] <crweb> its doable
[00:46] <johndesigner> don't look at the one on the osd currently crweb
[00:46] <johndesigner> its not good
[00:47] <crweb> well.. you're in luck
[00:47] <crweb> i don't think i could get it to boot if i wanted
[00:47] <johndesigner> yay!
[00:47] <johndesigner> :(
[00:47] <crweb> i've got it non functioning trying to put the samba server in
[00:47] <johndesigner> aha
[00:48] <johndesigner> on screen video bar - I'm designing that in the next couple of days
[00:48] <johndesigner> will include bookmarking and clipping out of some type
[00:48] <crweb> so how far ahead are you on design, than actual functionality?
[00:49] <johndesigner> functionality - not much, but that will be driven somwheat by what i design
[00:49] <johndesigner> right now its just a wish list and a few incoherent layouts on my computer
[00:49] <crweb> same here for the qt stuff
[00:50] <crweb> i'm actually suppose to be in school... but, thats not working out to well ;)
[00:50] <johndesigner> so the qt = qtopia?
[00:50] <crweb> yeah
[00:50] <johndesigner> scholl is important
[00:50] <crweb> qt4, and qtopia4 are source compatable
[00:51] <johndesigner> I mispelled that..it should be skool
[00:51] <crweb> all i have left is calc2, physics2, statistical calculus, and linear algerbra
[00:51] <johndesigner> all at once then?
[00:51] <crweb> hah, in my dreams
[00:51] <johndesigner> :)
[00:51] <crweb> theres a reason the are ALL last
[00:51] <johndesigner> fear? loathing?
[00:52] <crweb> no, i'm just not very good at actual mathmatics
[00:52] <crweb> at all
[00:52] * johndesigner  went to art skool
[00:52] <crweb> i can pass programming classes like nothing
[00:53] <crweb> heck, i've got a 100% in a class this semester, and i've only went twice
[00:53] <nerochiaro> eww, that stuff you have left scares the hell out of me
[00:53] <johndesigner> me and geometry get along pretty well...but math and I have agreed to disagree
[00:53] <crweb> nerochiaro: yeah, my outlook == bleek
[00:53] <nerochiaro> crweb: grim indeed
[00:53] <crweb> nerochiaro: I hope neuros doesn't mind to much if i don't finish
[00:53] <crweb> i need a break
[00:54] <nerochiaro> crweb: why they should care ? i never even went to university, that should be proof enough
[00:54] * johndesigner  gives permission without having authority to do so
[00:54] <crweb> i figure, i'll take a class a semester
[00:55] <johndesigner> good plan
[00:55] <crweb> and tell the professors, "this is how it is"
[00:55] <crweb> if i have to miss, i'll miss
[00:56] <nerochiaro> crweb: aren't you paying a crap load of money to just say enrolled ?
[00:56] <johndesigner> I did something similar at design school...had hardcore classes left at the end, but was dong work for a consultant office in Chicago
[00:56] <crweb> nerochiaro: not really. I'm in state, and I live in the town the university is in
[00:56] <johndesigner> the schoool adiminstrators had a hard time arguing with my logic that.
[00:56] <crweb> nerochiaro: i only have to pay about $800 a class
[00:56] <nerochiaro> crweb: i see
[00:57] <johndesigner> they are preparing me to apply my education...and I was applying my education, but the school was then getting in the way
[00:57] <crweb> nerochiaro: out of state, is about $16k a semester
[00:57] <crweb> nerochiaro: in district is about $2k
[00:57] <johndesigner> eek 1600
[00:57] <johndesigner> 16000
[00:57] <johndesigner> pricey but worth every penny
[00:59] <crweb> i will have to start payments on loans though
[00:59] <crweb> fact is, i can't learn anything else in my degree
[00:59] <johndesigner> to finish school story: i rec'd credits for 'internships' and work experience and we both called it even and they handed me a diploma of some sort
[01:00] <crweb> oh, i have a "generic" degree
[01:00] <johndesigner> not sure where it is actully - haven't used it since them - design is mostly portfolio so what you see is what you get
[01:01] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: if you can put them out publicly
[01:01] <johndesigner> crweb: i believe that is called General studies :
[01:01] <crweb> i've def. got that
[01:01] <johndesigner> nerochiaro: yea the actual desings yes...i left out the job part in Design job
[01:02] <crweb> out CS department really wants me to graduate though
[01:02] <crweb> err our
[01:02] <johndesigner> crweb: diversified knowledge of worldy elightenment endeavours
[01:02] * nerochiaro  keeps thinking the US university system is weird
[01:02] <crweb> nerochiaro: you would probably be correct
[01:03] <crweb> nerochiaro: you can get a "General Studies" just by having x number of hours
[01:03] <nerochiaro> which is probably worthless because everyone knows that
[01:03] <crweb> heck actually, if i wanted I could have BA in computer science
[01:03] <crweb> Bachalor of Arts,
[01:03] <crweb> but I was trying the Science route, which is all this math
[01:04] <johndesigner> eek
[01:04] <johndesigner> on a different note: you folks have any faves for on-screen video controls or jsut on-screen controls in general?
[01:05] <hellwolf> computer science is all about math indeed
[01:05] <johndesigner> for me to stea....um reference
[01:05] <johndesigner> tivo of course
[01:32] <nerochiaro> crweb: do you have a script that does that trick email->upload ?
[01:32] <crweb> ?
[01:32] <crweb> guess not ;)
[01:32] <nerochiaro> crweb: you mentioned you send email to that anonymouse@something address and they show up in upload folder
[01:33] <crweb> oh
[01:33] <crweb> that was ftp
[01:33] <nerochiaro> ah ok
[01:33] <crweb> anonymous
[02:07] <johndesigner> crweb: are you "the collector of misfit video files" ?
[02:09] <johndesigner> i ask for my own understanding of the work flow and who does what typically
[02:09] <johndesigner> in a general sense that is
[02:10] <crweb> johndesigner: i can host them so the right people can get them
[02:12] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: oh, by the way, i forgot to notify you yesterday. i'm positive we can have png in the splash. (not on uboot though)
[02:23] <johndesigner> crweb: thanks, good to know. I have about 500g of movies/tv to sample from
[02:24] <johndesigner> crweb: i'll try to send troublesome clips...kinda tough with my sort terms mountain of other design needs, but i can shoot off a few heer and there
[02:25] <johndesigner> nerochiaro: thats great news about the png!
[02:26] <johndesigner> nerochiaro: what does the uboot refer to?
[02:26] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: you mentioned you wanted to buy me a brewery if i gave you pngs in uboot no ?
[02:27] * johndesigner  looks up any micro, micro, nano breweries for sale
[02:28] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: don't bother, that's not gonna happen
[02:28] <crweb> I had to call the cops
[02:28] <crweb> he didn't believe i lived here
[02:28] <crweb> its 2:30 fing in the morning
[02:28] <johndesigner> why calling the cops?
[02:28] <crweb> and i come out of my house to the driveway and he didnt' believe me
[02:29] <crweb> tow truck driver trying to steal my car
[02:29] <crweb> from MY driveway
[02:29] <johndesigner> were you wearing your viking helmet and spandex jumpsuit?
[02:29] <nerochiaro> crweb: is your car safe now ?
[02:29] <crweb> probably not
[02:30] <crweb> its a city wide scam
[02:30] <johndesigner> thats horrible
[02:30] <crweb> he wants me to pay $45 because he almost had it all the way hitched
[02:30] <johndesigner> is this chicago?
[02:30] <crweb> no, Carbondale (few hours south)
[02:31] <nerochiaro> crweb: clamp you car down, or put down these retractable pillars at the entrance of driveway
[02:31] <crweb> this is the 3rd time
[02:31] <johndesigner> ah, i see. chicago northside towing must have a branch around there
[02:31] <johndesigner> bc they do nonsense like that
[02:31] <crweb> no calls, nothing. He says nobody called it in, but he won't tell us why he's towing the car
[02:32] <johndesigner> must be behind on his quota...
[02:32] <crweb> says they will talk about it in the morning during business hours
[02:32] <crweb> last time, they made me pay $85 to get my car out
[02:32] <nerochiaro> crweb: and police said nothing ?
[02:32] <crweb> and still wouldn't tell me why they towed it
[02:32] <crweb> nerochiaro: "not much we can do once they have it hitched"
[02:33] <johndesigner> was it illegally parked?
[02:33] <crweb> i don't know what they want me to do with my car
[02:33] <nerochiaro> crweb: at least compell them to tell you why
[02:33] <nerochiaro> crweb: i mean, ask the police to do that
[02:33] <crweb> i parked it in MY fucking driveway, that _I_ own
[02:33] <crweb> nerochiaro: he wouldn't talk to me about it
[02:33] <johndesigner> oh man...that is crimminal of them
[02:34] <nerochiaro> crweb: but he would do that to the police, that's what i'm saying
[02:34] <crweb> the officer did ask, and the driver replied "i can't tell you that"
[02:34] <johndesigner> they figure (based on my northside towing co experience) that you will pay up just to take the path of least resistance
[02:34] <nerochiaro> crweb: wow, and the officer didn't flinch ?
[02:35] <johndesigner> pay up including their BS 'storage' fee
[02:35] <crweb> nerochiaro: nope, said "we'd straighten it out in the morning"
[02:35] <crweb> aka, pay $85 and you'll get your car back
[02:35] <nerochiaro> crweb: but then no one straightened anything
[02:36] <crweb> well. he hasn't left yet
[02:36] <nerochiaro> so you're chatting up with a police officer in your house ?
[02:36] <johndesigner> crweb: sure, they don't have a leg to stand on legally, but they prey on folks wanting to avoid hassle
[02:36] <crweb> i didn't feel like screaming at the officer so i just left.
[02:37] <johndesigner> I can't blame you there
[02:37] <nerochiaro> well, my suggestion is still to put a barrier to the driveway, so they will leave you alone
[02:37] <nerochiaro> probably cost less than $85x3
[02:38] <johndesigner> towing is a racket in IL
[02:38] <crweb> last time i walked outside and my car was just gone
[02:38] <johndesigner> from your driveway no less
[02:39] <nerochiaro> or put retractable nails, when they come up to tow the car, pull them up, so they will need another tow truck to two away the first one
[02:39] <johndesigner> what was the reason given for towing it that time
[02:39] <crweb> they still wouldn't tell me even after i paid
[02:40] <johndesigner> so, now your recourse is to file a complaint and that time-consuming nonsense which will result in nothing done to the towers
[02:40] <crweb> did that last time. yes
[02:41] <crweb> plus last time i lost 6 hours of work
[02:41] <crweb> cause the guy never showed up to his office, so i couldnt getmy car back
[02:41] <crweb> and its way outside of town, and my ride had left
[02:41] <crweb> i sat there for several hours
[02:41] <johndesigner> lemme guess, the towing office wher you pay has very thick bullet proof glass and a knuckle dragger behind the counter?
[02:42] <johndesigner> that sucks
[02:42] <crweb> no, its just got 2 rows of chain linked fence and razor wire
[02:42] <johndesigner> nothing between you and the person taking ..well, stealing your $
[02:43] <crweb> well, it wasn't that guys fault
[02:43] <crweb> he was just daytime clerk
[02:43] <johndesigner> never is, but it wasn't your fault either
[02:43] * nerochiaro  keeps mentioning driveway barrier
[02:43] <crweb> all the towers were gone
[02:43] <crweb> hah
[02:44] <crweb> drunkass roommate is outside yelling at them about the flashing lights
[02:44] <johndesigner> northside towing's business office is protected better than a military base
[02:44] <johndesigner> they get a LOT of unhappy people becasue of their dubious practices
[02:45] <johndesigner> what happens if you just calmly but continually ask why your car is targeted for towing?
[02:45] <johndesigner> over and over and over
[02:45] <johndesigner> wait him out
[02:46] <johndesigner> do you own this car outright?
[02:46] <crweb> they just keep saying have to wait till business hours to resolve any issues
[02:46] <crweb> and yes
[02:46] <crweb> both of them
[02:47] <johndesigner> thats maddening
[02:47] <crweb> when they break into my garage and take my spider convertable, i'll shoot somebody
[02:47] <nerochiaro> snipers! hire snipers
[02:48] <crweb> i think they can tow for parking on the grass
[02:48] <johndesigner> heh, find where the driver lives and boot his car
[02:48] <crweb> but, i'm not the one parked on the grass
[02:49] <johndesigner> on your grass? or is that city property next to your driveway?
[02:49] <crweb> city ordanince
[02:49] <crweb> can't park in yards
[02:49] <johndesigner> city ordinace that you can't park on your own grass?
[02:50] <crweb> yeah. I like it actually
[02:50] <johndesigner> what if you are a redneck and are compelled to park on the grass by your DNA
[02:50] <johndesigner> any provision there?
[02:50] <crweb> when neighbors have parties, nobody parks in my yard
[02:50] <johndesigner> yeah, thats good
[02:50] <crweb> well, its hard to tow a car with no wheels
[02:50] <crweb> and on blocks
[02:51] <johndesigner> hmm, well, i am curious to hear what their explanation is for this nonsense
[02:51] <crweb> roommate is going to get himself arrested.. thats almost a given
[02:51] <johndesigner> heh, with the hood missing too
[02:54] <crweb> sweet
[02:54] <crweb> there he goes
[02:54] * crweb  gets a quiet night of rest
[03:06] <johndesigner> whats the latest word on being able to plug in a usb wifi dongle to the OSD?
[03:07] <johndesigner> i saw the wifi bridge, but i have a dongle stiing here doing nothing
[03:08] <crweb> that is going to take real usb drivers
[03:08] <johndesigner> so that wont happen for some time then?
[03:08] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: the word the damn retailer where i ordered my dongle for testing kept lying to me about having it in stock. i ordered to another, should be here by monday
[03:08] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: which dongle do you have ?
[03:09] <crweb> nerochiaro: i'm attempting with ln -s fs default
[03:09] <johndesigner> um lemm e get it just a sce
[03:10] <johndesigner> linksys 11b - model #wusb11v4
[03:11] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: i don't think it will work even after we put out the driver
[03:12] <johndesigner> i dont mind getting another one but had hoped to play with the streaming with this one (assuming it would be slower of course)
[03:12] <johndesigner> oh well
[03:12] <crweb> is yours nfs booting over the wifi bridge?
[03:13] <crweb> i can't get mine to do it. tftp times out and says can't find file
[03:13] <crweb> if i plug straight into ethernet, it works fine
[03:13] <crweb> i think something is killing my internal udp packets
[03:13] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: Asus 167g is the one that a guy got working for sure with the driver, you might want to try that. Joe is probably having Tim pick up some, i emailed him the models that should work. i'll forward that to you
[03:14] <johndesigner> great, thatks!
[03:25] <johndesigner> nerochiaro: splash screen - any chance of using .gif?
[03:27] <johndesigner> this white on black splash motif makes for nice looking, teeny .gif files
[03:27] <nerochiaro> johndesigner: gif might be easier
[03:33] <johndesigner> okay - i did an output test with just the word "power" and drop shadow - png 5kb - gif 2kb
[03:33] <johndesigner> thats looking good
[03:33] <nerochiaro> cool
[03:34] <nerochiaro> i'm not up to speed, but aren't these pesky licensing problems with GIF, or was that a problem of the past and that crap expired ?
[03:34] <johndesigner> no idea
[03:35] <johndesigner> i only read some of that on on wikipedia
[03:35] <johndesigner> but dont know the result
[04:01] <crweb> yes
[04:01] <crweb> but png is much better anyway
[04:01] <crweb> the patent has expired
[04:02] <xcasex> johndesigner, actually, go with png. and if you want to see filesize improvements, use pngcrush
[04:04] <johndesigner> xcasex: thanks, I'll try the pngcrush
[04:07] <nerochiaro> xcasex: on the other hand, gif reading is much simpler than png reading
[04:07] <nerochiaro> xcasex: smaller lib etc
[04:08] <xcasex> schmemantics.
[04:08] <nerochiaro> what ?
[04:08] <xcasex> i'm interested in png adoption due to patent unencumberment, not technical :)
[04:09] <xcasex> so, since i can save/export to virtually any format i'm not too interested in the technical details
[04:10] <nerochiaro> xcasex: but we need to care about technial details, unfortunately :)
[04:10] <xcasex> this is why i love being the designer and not the programmer :)
[04:11] <johndesigner> heh, well, the technical constaints are didctaing a good portion of the visual ddesign atm
[04:11] <johndesigner> dictating that is
[04:13] <johndesigner> this front is imporving by the day however
[04:14] <johndesigner> elegance and nuance are further down the line
[04:14] <nerochiaro> i agree with both
[04:14] <turran> hi all
[04:14] <johndesigner> hello
[04:15] <turran> nerochiaro, on r lua + kepler did you strip out somehting?
[04:16] <turran> r/your
[04:17] <nerochiaro> turran:lua was build with a patch to use floats only when absolutely necessary. and kepler had to be reshuffled a bit, there were modules i took from more recent distributions than the one that was out at the time. and i build only the base components
[04:20] <turran> nerochiaro, ok, im having problems with it, as i need the session module, but honestly i dont have any idea on how to add it, i merge the config.lua with a version which works, but the session module is giving me errors
[04:22] <nerochiaro> turran: i can help you, but not right now i need to dust off the keper build stuff and i'm doing other things now.
[04:22] <nerochiaro> turran: however
[04:22] <nerochiaro> turran: did you check my kepler build script yet ?
[04:23] <turran> yep, i installed it on the neuros
[04:23] <turran> it is working good, but the session module of cgilua isnt activated
[04:23] <nerochiaro> turran: the build-kepler, not install-kepler
[04:24] <turran> :P looks like i didnt
[04:26] <nerochiaro> turran: especially, check in the kepler makefile what "make core" does. see if it builds the session or not
[04:26] <nerochiaro> turran: you need scratchbox to do that tho
[04:27] <nerochiaro> turran: to build at least. you can check the makefile anyway after it patches it
[04:28] <nerochiaro> turran: check also the various diff files i have here: svn.neurosaudio.com , they show how to fix sime problems that new modules might give you
[04:29] <turran> nerochiaro, ok thanks for the info, im checking now, btw kepler already has an armeb version compiled (debian package), isnt it good enough?
[04:29] <nerochiaro> turran: maybe, but until we try we don't know
[04:29] <turran> nerochiaro, ok =)
[04:30] <nerochiaro> turran: and if we gonna put it in the offical distribution (which i'm not sure will ever happen) then we need to have the source too
[04:31] <turran> nerochiaro, true.
[04:31] <nerochiaro> is the session a separate module ? isn't it part of the kepler core ?
[04:31] <nerochiaro> cgilua, i mean
[04:35] <turran> yes, it is part
[04:35] <turran> but there's no "require session" anywhere
[04:35] <turran> if i included as in other config.lua i have
[04:35] <turran> gives me some lua errors
[04:36] <turran> didnt go any further
[04:37] <nerochiaro> turran: doesn't that calculator example (or the other one) that gets installed with kepler use sessions ? it worked for me
[04:49] <turran> no, none of the examples use cgilua.session but sajax
[04:50] <nerochiaro> there is the basic one which seems to do some cookie stuff... isn't that sessions ?
[04:51] <turran> nerochiaro, it uses the cgilua.cookies
[04:51] <nerochiaro> turran: ah, i see
[04:51] <nerochiaro> turran: can you try pasting the errors you get with sessions ?
[04:55] <turran> ok, in a few minutes, kind of busy now
