00:00.01Marajin... is it a freephone tech support? ;)
00:00.09gingeyeah
00:00.22Marajinphone them again and see if you get a different guy and see if he's as much an arsehole
00:00.30Marajinand check if you're on 2nd line support
00:00.53gingeI did ask that, they don't have 1/2/3rd line support desk
00:01.00Marajin...
00:01.03MarajinLIES
00:01.41Marajinseriously, it wouldn't happen.
00:01.41Marajinit's not sound business strategy
00:01.54gingehttp://www.beforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6490
00:02.00MarajinI mean 1st = reads from a script, 2nd = May actually comprehend english, 3rd = Actualy knows things.
00:02.13Marajinergo 1st = cheap, 2nd = nominal wage, 3rd = quite expensive
00:02.33Marajinthey can't run on all 1st and wouldn't pay for all 3rds
00:02.58gingeits in Bulgaria. Pretty cheapol
00:04.02Marajinand evidentally all 1st line? ;P
00:04.13MarajinDid the guy strike you as actually having a clu?
00:04.30gingeguy=woman
00:04.34gingeand no
00:04.38Marajinwell, Given that she just said you're too far from the exchange at a figure which is at least half the truth
00:04.46gingesecond call=woman
00:04.52gingethird call=woman
00:05.15MarajinYOu didn't indecently proposition them did you? ;)
00:05.21gingedid you see that graph?
00:05.31gingeMarajin: only after I got support ;)
00:05.48Marajinyeah, it's kind of meaningless, they even point out it's rather assumptious
00:06.24gingewell thats prett much bang on what I get
00:07.22Marajinthen how do you account for me getting twice the upstream and like 3 times the downstream? :P
00:07.35gingeI have no idea
00:07.40gingewhats your Snd and attenuation?

00:10.49Marajinthat downstream is oddly low, it often syncs much higher than that
00:10.52ali1234paaaaaaaastebin
00:10.59Marajinali1234: Oh do be quiet :P
00:11.03gingelol
00:11.49gingeyou have low attenuation
00:11.59ali1234mine: http://rafb.net/p/JfMIf960.html
00:12.16gingeso I guess you get between 13 and 18mb?
00:12.52gingeali1234: yours is quite low too
00:13.02ali1234yep, i still get the max for my package though
00:13.33Marajinginge: yeah. This is cause I get the upstream, or I'd get 20mb down
00:13.51MarajinIf I drop my upstream to 1.2Mbps I get 20Mbps down
00:15.21gingeMarajin: so I need to change up upload to see if it makes any difference
00:15.47*** join/#htc-linux chab7 (n=kvirc@212.92.4.114)
00:16.48ali1234how long ago did they turn it on?
00:17.17ginge1 week ago
00:19.03Marajinginge: Nope,you should already have it on that modulation
00:19.22Marajinginge: They may cap it below the 2mbps that O2 offer though.
00:20.00ali1234i would try a different router. the freebie might just have a weak receiver
00:21.28Marajinthe freebie is shite
00:21.31Marajinit may be his chipset
00:21.34Marajinit's a very bad chipset
00:23.59Marajinginge: Heh I just forced a resync and am now at 16mbps downstream
00:29.58Marajinginge: Wanna risk twiddling manually with your SNR
00:29.59Marajin?
00:30.09gingeyeah
00:30.18Marajinright let me see if I can find the cli commands for your box
00:30.34Marajinws yours the 585v7?
00:30.45gingeyep
00:31.25Marajinrightio
00:34.21gingeahahahaha
00:34.37gingeI fly just flew right in through the door and directly into a fan
00:35.06Marajinyou're getting hysterical aren't ya?
00:35.06gingespan around a few times and then flew in circles for a minute until it apparently dropped dead
00:35.56gingeits either that or I get murderous. Damn neighbours playing shit boom boom boom music
00:36.53Marajinyou're not having a good experience with your new house really are you?
00:37.40gingeno, it kinda sucks
00:37.53gingeI need to remove my "ring wire" according to some guy
00:38.32Marajinjoy it bitmaps the modem options
00:39.09Marajinwell dude, playing with that sound make for a few bricked router attempts :P
00:39.17Marajins/sound/should/
00:40.26gingeokay, I just called then again, and the advice was "Move closer to the exchange for faster speed"
00:40.33Marajin...
00:40.39Marajindude you could make a movie out of this shit
00:41.02gingeMarajin: this happens to me far too often to be amusing
00:42.05Marajinginge: it happens to everyone in IT
00:42.17gingeyeah, but why?
00:42.38Marajinbecause they're running something that relies on adequate funding while being pennypinching bastards
00:42.45Marajinso they hire substandard

00:48.20Marajinginge: INterestingly I know how to get the bitmap for your modem options but I can't find out how to change it anyway
00:48.36gingedont worry about it. Cheeers for checking it out
00:51.49Marajinhmm the dmt tool is interesting actually
00:51.57Marajinwonder if it works with your router
00:52.39gingeor i wine
00:52.45ginges/i/in/
00:52.51Marajinheh
00:52.58MarajinI think people vmware it but i dunno about wine
00:53.05gingethat doable
00:53.31Marajinginge: http://marajin.w-ww.org/DMT.exe
00:53.33Marajintry it I guess
00:53.59gingeoh surprise surprise vmware wont load
00:54.17Marajinheh :P
00:54.27Marajinwell give it a wine try I guess , it gives some nifty info about your unit
00:54.41Marajintechnically it allows SNR changes but it doesn't support doing it on the newest firmwares/routers
00:54.45Marajin(yet)

00:58.45ali1234what exactly do you mean by "SNR changes"?
00:59.11gingewhat is my annex type A or B?
00:59.57ali1234A
01:00.15Marajinwel B is ISDN
01:00.44ali1234technically neither on 2+ actually
01:00.52Marajintrue
01:01.06Marajintis M
01:01.24MarajinTry the v7 I guess
01:03.00gingeit makes some funky noises and then nothing happens
01:11.39Marajin...
01:11.43Marajinman your router sucks :p
01:11.59Marajinwell frankly man I'm kinda stuck
01:12.15Marajinwithout be's cooperation and with little ability to manually prod your router..
01:15.19gingeyeah. it seems the newer versions of DMT cant even log in ??
01:15.34Marajinginge: er... different versions are for different chipsets/routers :P
01:16.17gingeyeah
01:16.49Marajinv7 is for mine
01:16.55Marajinv8 I would have thought covered yours
01:17.07gingev8 failed to parse the login prompt
01:17.15Marajinheh
01:17.32MarajinI'm vaguely aware that v7 technically half works with your router officially

01:24.44gingeMarajin: free is cheaper
01:24.47Marajintruuuue
01:24.57ali1234ginge: i gave you a few back remember?
01:25.09gingeali1234: those shite orange ones, yeah
01:25.14ali1234they are fine
01:25.22gingeali1234: you said they were locked down
01:25.24ali1234i dont have anything better than that

01:25.38gingeahhh
01:25.49ali1234not that you need to
01:26.10ali1234only the bootloader is locked, to stop you flashing different fw
01:26.27gingeI might try that tomorrow. Cheers.
01:26.28gingenight

13:42.07*** join/#htc-linux kedar (n=kstate@r9cc239.net.upc.cz)
13:42.28kedarhi all :)
13:43.36kedaris here anyone who try get linux on htc diamond or htc touch pro ?
13:44.35spbvacEspenfjo: your haretlog.txt at xda-dev shows that you boot with RAMSIZE set to 128M. can you limit it to 0x5e as the xda-dev wiki suggests ? otherwise you|ll overwrite the FBRAM and other unknown mappings.
13:44.51spbvackedar: do you have a diamond ?
13:45.52kedarspbvac: yes.. i try haret, but still end with gogogo and freze
13:46.14spbvackedar: can you add
13:46.35spbvacset RAMSIZE 0x5e
13:46.53spbvacto default.txt and try to boot again ?
13:48.41*** join/#htc-linux TeringTuby (n=maarten@195-241-125-243.ip.telfort.nl)
13:48.53Espenfjospbvac: ah, ok, thanks, ill try
13:48.53kedarspbvac: MTYPE 1805 ?
13:49.47spbvackedar: and the mem=94M
13:49.57spbvacto the kernel command line
13:50.12spbvac1805 is the diamond mtype ?
13:50.59spbvacif you are using the kaiser kernel it may be easier to reuse the kaiser MTYPE too.
13:51.18kedar1805 is for diamond in arch/arm/tools/mach-types
13:51.25spbvaci think that the non-custom haret does not know about diamond yet.
13:52.01spbvacso it"s better to reuse kaiser MTYPE
13:52.09Espenfjo0x5e gives the same random FB
13:52.31spbvacEspenfjo: what is "random FB" ?
13:52.54kedarspbvac: i try with selfcompiled kernel from git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git
13:53.49Espenfjospbvac: Sometimes it clears the screen entirely, sometimes it writes one FB_PRINTF-line, sometimes two etc. haret logging to file progresses further
13:54.28spbvacEspenfjo: does your FBRAM base match the value in wiki ?
13:54.52kedarspbvac: with this haret http://handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/haret-20080726f.exe
13:55.19Espenfjospbvac: Yeah (although that value isnt the same as haret finds)
13:55.26EspenfjoTried several FB offsets
13:55.50spbvackedar: if the haret does not autodetect diamond (i guess it will not), then you should use kaiser.
13:56.34spbvacEspenfjo: hmm. interesting.
13:57.01EspenfjoGAPI, GETGXINFO and GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER gives two different adresses (which isnt the same as the one in the wiki)
14:02.18*** join/#htc-linux spbvac_ (i=spbvac@MS-1-119.dyn-ip.SPb.SkyLink.RU)

14:03.12Espenfjo0x1686a000
14:03.30EspenfjoGAPI and GETGXINFO gives 0x16844800
14:04.45spbvac_you can try a ddirect 565-encoded write to these areas.
14:05.37EspenfjoHow? I dont really know what im doing at all :)
14:06.02spbvac_i think rawframebuffer is a better bet. although it"s a bit strange. maybe it"s some double-buffering or dma...
14:06.48spbvac_check the "pfh" command, i think it"s in the haret docs

14:09.22Espenfjono, not really
14:09.38dcordesmaybe you can ask dzo
14:09.56Espenfjospbvac_: is trying to help me a bit :P But i think im a difficult subject ;P
14:10.04dcordesso am I
14:10.18dcordesno basic knowledge
14:10.56spbvac_Espenfjo: 16 bits are split into 5/6/5 for the r/g/b values

14:11.27dcordesare you guys working in the framebuffer kernel code?
14:11.34Espenfjono, haret
14:11.36spbvac_Espenfjo: so the lower 5bits set will provide you with the blue screen :)
14:11.42Espenfjoah
14:12.37spbvac_dcordes: no, only trying to reuse the kaiser kernel for diamond
14:13.02EspenfjoSo.. eg. pfh 0x1686a000 0x96000 5 should give me a blue screen? :P
14:13.41dcordesthe framebuffer code in git is somewhat outdated.
14:19.43spbvac_dcordes: booting linux on diamnd is not so far anyway
14:21.39dcordesare you that sure?
14:22.14dcordesafaik regarding kaiser which had a very similar problem, it was the kernel code which solved it
14:23.00Espenfjoharet might try to boot the linux kernel now also, but as we have no FB it is impossible to debug
14:25.20spbvac_Espenfjo: you can use vsfb, like it|s done for some other devices.
14:25.37Espenfjovsfb? :P
14:25.41spbvac_Espenfjo: but you need a real fbaddr for it.
14:25.46Espenfjook
14:25.55spbvac_VerySimpleFrameBuffer
14:26.03EspenfjoI have four addresses to test from, so ;)
14:26.12spbvac_4?
14:26.21Espenfjothree maybe
14:26.21Espenfjohehe
14:26.58spbvac_ok
14:28.02spbvac_Espenfjo: the htchermes code has vsfb as an LCD driver.
14:28.20Espenfjook
14:28.45EspenfjoIll look into it
14:28.57dcordesvery simple framebuffer?
14:29.07spbvac_you need to find out the fbaddr, ad the native resolution (640x480 or 480x640)
14:30.20spbvac_dcordes: if the fbaddr is fixed in ()RAM, you can reuse the wince setup. but you cant suspend/resume and such.
14:30.37dcordeswe tried something about vsfb on kaiser
14:31.00spbvac_dcordes: a real driver is better anyway
14:31.03dcordesit's not in the htc-msm tree
14:31.54dcordesdid you compare dzo's msm_fb code with the google tree msm_fb?
14:32.01Marajinyo
14:32.03Marajin'lo dcordes
14:32.16dcordesthere might be the answer to your problem
14:32.25dcordeshi Marajin
14:32.32spbvac_Espenfjo: hmm. something else come to my mind. the kaiser kernel will not work.
14:32.52dcordeswhy is that?
14:32.54spbvac_Espenfjo: you should start with the raw halibut kernel from scratch,.
14:33.10dcordesdid you try to boot vogue, btw?
14:33.30spbvac_dcordes: because it\s 7201 cpu. the irq and  other things are different. including the SD and so on.
14:33.44Espenfjospbvac_: hmm, ok, altho im no expert on this :) I hav no experience whatsoever
14:34.12dcordesyou should a) try vogue kernel b) make a very thin config for both, vogue and kaiser kernel and try that
14:34.14spbvac_Espenfjo: ok, so there is no hope to boot the kaiser kernel on diamond ;)
14:34.32dcordesno hope I would not say that
14:34.43dcordesI'm making you a tiny kaiser kernel real quick..
14:34.59spbvac_dcordes: the 7500 kernel will have the same problems.
14:35.23dcordesif it would be a complete fsck up with the irqs and all, he wouldn't see anything
14:35.51spbvac_dcordes: halibut kernel should have the right support.
14:36.29dcordesEspenfjo: you got the google vanilla kernel?
14:36.32spbvac_dcordes: yes, 7200/7500 kernel will be a complete fsck to try on diamond
14:36.38EspenfjoI have that somewhere too, yeah
14:36.50dcordesupdate to latest and make a clean build with lean config
14:37.13Espenfjoalready done :P
14:38.14dcordesdid you patch htc-msm kaiser framebuffer code for vga?
14:38.35Espenfjono, havent done anything to the android-kernel
14:38.57dcordesspbvac_: halibut is 7500A, not 7501A
14:39.29spbvac_Espenfjo: forget about the android for now, boot the bare kernel first
14:39.38Espenfjoyeah
14:39.48dcordesyou are debugging with the 20MB android ramdisk? lol
14:39.49spbvac_dcordes: it|s about A vs. !A
14:40.08dcordesEspenfjo: I have an angstrom rootfs 3M
14:40.46spbvac_dcordes: seein the kernel oops on mounting rootfs will be enough for now :)
14:41.31Espenfjoyeah, an oops will give me hopes enough to test more :P
14:41.53EspenfjoEven considering writing a small arm kernel my self
14:41.57Espenfjohello world :P
14:42.04EspenfjoDid that on x86 ones
14:42.10dcordesok with no rootfs also good
14:42.20dcordesjust though you would load the 20M android image
14:42.26dcordesthought
14:42.28spbvac_lol, it|s all about output device driver...
14:44.25spbvac_Espenfjo: i think that the halibut kernel+vsfb should boot

14:46.27Marajinyes it is
14:46.29dcordesmsm7201A
14:47.09dcordesso spbvac_ is right, halibutt kernel should be the first approach
14:47.45spbvac_Marajin: 7201A
14:50.04EspenfjoSo.. Eh.. Halibut.. Just enable the Halibut board in the linux kernel config?
14:50.24dcordesdoes it have no default configuration in arch/arm/configs?

14:55.04dcordesfreeze at 100% or partial display redraw?
14:55.25EspenfjoNow it froze at Diabling hardware
14:55.28Espenfjodis
14:55.48dcordescan you retry a few times?
14:55.55spbvac_Espenfjo: which MTYPE, RAMSIZE and mem= do you use ?
14:56.45Espenfjo1805, size 0xe5, using standard mem= (nothing)
14:56.47spbvac_does halibut has a mtype at all ?
14:57.00dcordesyes
14:57.06Espenfjono, but the qualcomm msm7x00 have a halibut option
14:57.06spbvac_Espenfjo: mem=94M
14:57.48spbvac_haret need to transfer the right mtype to the kernel, otherwise it|ll hang n the .asm init.
14:57.53EspenfjoWhat cmdline should i use btw? only mem, or should i use some sort of root and console also?
14:58.11spbvac_root is not important now
14:58.20spbvac_console=tty0 ?
14:58.30Espenfjo"root=/dev/ram0 ro console=tty0 mem=94M"
14:58.31Espenfjook
14:58.38spbvac_ok
14:59.02spbvac_size 0x5e, not 0xe5
14:59.23Espenfjoyeah, 5e was what i was using :)
14:59.28spbvac_ok
14:59.38Espenfjoramaddr 0x100000000
14:59.56spbvac_ok
15:01.48spbvac_btw, i"m using a cdma450 phone for this connection now. a stoneage technology, but it works :)
15:02.23EspenfjoNo, still nothing
15:02.55spbvac_Espenfjo: well, you don|t have a vsfb, what do you expect ?
15:03.15EspenfjoNot sure how to implement it :)
15:03.31EspenfjoI only find it as a kernel module, which isnt what we need
15:03.57spbvac_look at the hermes_vsfb.c driver and Kconfig/Makefile
15:04.15dcordesrandom question: why should vsfb help?
15:04.54spbvac_dcordes: you need some console driver to see something from the boot progress
15:05.14dcordesdoesn't msm_fb.c bring msm framebuffer specific code which is essential to display anything at all?
15:05.22dcordesspbvac_: what about fbcon?
15:05.28spbvac_dcordes: since you don|t have rs232 cable, the LCD console is your only option
15:05.36EspenfjoWhere do you find hermes_vsfb?
15:05.58spbvac_dcordes: you need a lowlevel driver, fbcon is a midlevel
15:06.01dcordesspbvac_: do you know msm_fb.c?
15:06.22spbvac_Espenfjo: htchermes_vsfb.c or htcathena_vsfb.c ?
15:07.06spbvac_dcordes: i think it|s the "real" driver, vsfb is much easier to use.
15:07.09Espenfjohtchermes_vsfb.c i guess
15:07.10dcordesanother random question: did you simply try raising the fbsize variable in the msm fb code of kaiser?
15:07.53spbvac_dcordes: msm_fb will need 100000 modifications before it|'ll work on diamond, because it uses SRAM for the framebuffer

19:43.05Marajinfirst thing I've eaten today
19:43.05ginge:)
19:43.28gingeSame here. I have been wading through memory dumps all day.
19:43.30MarajinNaturally it's a healthy meal ;) Rib-eye steak, aberdeen angus sausages and potato wedges
19:43.37gingeman that sounds good
19:43.39Marajina geek needs his meat
19:43.45Marajinheh =)
19:43.56gingemuch better than my chicken burger spaghetti and nasty chips
19:44.03MarajinI don't do cheap food, I just do damn tasty
19:44.19MarajinGiven my financial situation it's unwise but I'd rather be well fed that rich ya know
19:44.54gingeI see food as an annoyance, and wouldn't mind if a days meal came in bar form
19:45.04Marajinheh
19:45.22Marajinman you say that but even you must like proper steak and such
19:45.43MarajinI'm willing to just eat whatever if it arrives in front of me but if I cook then it's gotta be good grub
19:45.43gingeyeah, true but how many times can you eat premium steak without getting sick of it?
19:45.50Marajinwell true
19:45.53Marajinbut I mix it up
19:45.59MarajinI'ma tolerable chef, I'm told
19:46.04gingelol
19:46.16MarajinMostly, I'm good at remembering when to switch the oven off
19:46.23Marajin(something many women fail to master)
19:46.32Marajintoo busy on the phone and they forget food's frazzling
19:46.40gingeyeah, I can microwave a mean meal
19:47.15gingeMy gf is not allowed to cook. last time it involved a fire extinguisher and hospital
19:47.15Marajinhaha
19:47.34MarajinI saw a girl put a red hot pan on the counter once.
19:47.46Marajinhow that didn't turn into a fire I do not know
19:47.52gingeheh
19:47.54MarajinI saw a woman burn _pasta_ once
19:48.02gingethats possible?
19:48.14gingeI thought it just turned into th hardest material known to man
19:48.27Marajinif you leave the ring on gas mark furnace and forget it for 5 hours yes
19:48.36Marajinyou end up with a black lining to the pan
19:48.46ginge"whats your house made from, bob?" "Pasta my wife made"

20:03.20Marajinright, hold still, this will hurt more than a bit... :>
20:03.33gingeI know that hurts, been there before :)
20:03.39Marajinyes I remember
20:04.24gingeis there a package where I can get an ip for this phone ;)
20:04.35gingewould save so much pissing arount with reverse ssh tunnels

20:07.34gingeso, if the rumours about the "dream" phone are true, you gonna get one?
20:07.49Marajinginge: Tempting, a phone that already has a fully functional linux kernel?
20:08.05Marajinwe could rip android off that and put something tasty on in a heartbeat
20:08.10gingeits thats all you want, but a freerunner :)
20:08.10Marajindepends on the finalised specs and cost tho'

20:09.24Marajindoes it even have buttons for calls?
20:09.46gingeif the dream comes out in a few weeks, I wonder if android will finally go open source?
20:09.54gingeI might consider using it then
20:09.59Marajinbut anyway, I suspect the dream would be a higher quality handset I just dunno

21:31.13Marajinas long as fat is the first part
21:31.19infernixdid anyone trash the fat partition yet while using linux on it?
21:31.26Marajinum no
21:31.28gingeno, not yet.
21:31.40gingeand I have done stuff wacky shit while writing the sd support
21:31.41MarajinI trashed it by using gparted to resize
21:31.53Marajinbut it wasn't a significant trashing
21:31.59MarajinIt only mangled about 8mb

21:41.26ali1234ha
21:41.43ali1234i fixed sound. the solution was to turn off pulse audio and use direct alsa instead
21:42.50infernixoh you're on ubuntu?
21:43.42ali1234yeah
21:43.56infernixpulseaudio as default was an overoptimistic decision
21:44.05infernixalsa sucks but pulseaudio support isnt there yet
21:44.11gingeas was everything in ubuntu
21:44.11ali1234looks like pulse audio is the worse thing for linux sound since artsd (which used to do exactly the same thing)

21:58.34Marajinthat's why you can get 10 year + guarantees

22:18.48infernixorly
22:19.15infernixmy doctor told me to ignite and inhale thc
22:19.24Marajinhaha
22:19.30Marajinnah he really did, it's to kill a parasite
22:19.43Marajinit gets stuck in the lungs
22:19.49infernixi meet him twice every day, strangely enough he's always brushing his teeth when i see him
22:19.57infernixah
22:20.13infernixso you're boiling wodka ?
22:20.24Marajinthat was his suggestion yep
22:21.08MarajinI'm a scotch drinker by choice
22:21.34Marajinbut it'd be a waste of good whisky
22:21.38infernixyeah i'd boil the vodka
22:22.15infernixi must say i'm not much for alcohol
22:22.35Marajincaffeine, nicotine and alcohol are my only drug intakes
22:22.43Marajin(including prescription and over-the-counter drugs)
22:23.27infernixim only on thc. nicotine comes with that, obviously, but never without the thc :)
22:23.41infernixand maybe caffeine but not sure how much is in coca cola
22:23.48Marajin35mg
22:23.49Marajinper can
22:23.51Marajinroughly
22:24.19Marajinidentical to a normal cup of tea, about half that of instant coffee
22:24.29Marajin1/3rd of percolated coffee
22:24.45infernixhow much is in red bull?
22:24.51Marajin100
22:24.59Marajinish
22:25.00MarajinI think
22:25.08Marajinsmaller cans tho'
22:25.17Marajinand you have taurine in red bull too
22:25.47infernixmy gf was on 6 cans of red bull a day
22:25.58MarajinI've exceeded 12 in an _hour_
22:26.29Marajinthey're 250ml cans right?
22:26.55gingeinfernix: damn you talking about THC when I have none
22:27.05infernixyeah
22:27.12MarajinI used to drink litre bottles of something that I swear is identical to redbull, smell, taste, look and caffeine/taurine values
22:27.27infernixyou don't get headaches or migraines?
22:27.31Marajinnever have
22:27.40MarajinNothing has been known togive me a headache
22:27.40infernixme neither. but she does
22:28.19Marajinlike, literally nothing beyond actually being hit int he head so hard that I have a small bald spot from the damage to the skin alone
22:29.00Marajinotherwise I just don't get headpain.
22:29.02infernix"An acute overdose of caffeine, usually in excess of about 300 milligrams, dependent on body weight and level of caffeine tolerance, can result in a state of central nervous system over-stimulation called caffeine intoxication"
22:29.27gingered bull makes me feel sick and tastes like soil
22:29.33Marajininfernix, I'm talking about 3 thousand milligrams
22:29.43Marajin3 grams in fact
22:29.59Marajinwhich is roughly the lowest known lethal dose of caffeine
22:30.15Marajinand that.. is an interesting experience
22:30.36Marajinreally without my caffeine tolerance and body mass, it would have been very dangerous indeed
22:31.05infernixbleh, sdhc doesnt recognise vfat
22:31.14infernixin WM
22:31.15infernixi hope its due to partition type
22:31.54Marajinas it was, yah I've done 3 litres in < 1 hour maybe.. 3 times in my life
22:31.57infernixyay
22:32.15Marajinand it makes me insanely good at games that need twitch reactions
22:32.23Marajinuntil about another hour has passed
22:32.28infernixwell ive done more interesting drugs than caffeine in the past
22:32.35Marajinby which point I'm so shakey heh
22:33.04MarajinTBH infernix, all the stimulants behave near identically to caffeine they're just more potent
22:33.28infernixmushrooms are not stimuli :)
22:33.43Marajinah they are but they're stimuli for different bits of the brain
22:34.21infernixwell in that sense, yes
22:34.24MarajinLSD isn't even a dangerous drug, it doesn't have a leathal dose AFAIK except that it can incapacitate you so badly you'll die of malnutrition or whatever
22:35.41MarajinTHC, from my experience, did very little to me
22:35.46dcordesthat would be one bad trip
22:35.48gingedidnt smoke enough
22:35.58Marajinthough I once had something that did send me off on one with hallucinations and shit
22:36.19dcordesor not the right substance
22:36.36MarajinTBH I rearranged a field full of people in bivvy bags, thought aliens were landing and was found smoking a teabag and lobbing opalfruits (starburst nowadays) at a van

22:37.00dcordesMarajin: visit infernix and try the stuff his dr. gives to him
22:37.20Marajinginge: And yeah, basically nominal doseage didn't seem to do much to me compared to others. I'm sure higher doseage would work but I can't be bothered :P
22:38.01infernixdutch stuff is more potent
22:38.09dcordesyou bet
22:38.10infernixbut anyway im gonna have some fun with my Wii
22:38.13gingei'm like that wish booze. I just can't be bothered. £9 to feel a little woozy is not good value for me

22:41.07Marajin3.20 is a bit silly but yeah

22:41.19gingethats still scandal

22:44.07Marajinstill

22:44.14MarajinI don't do pub drinking
22:44.17Marajinit is overpriced
22:44.45Marajinfor 2 pints at a pub I can buy enough vodka to be plonkered nearly at a supermarket for example
22:45.37Marajinfor 4 pints I can buy enough tolerable whiskey to be noteably plonkered
22:45.57gingemeh
22:46.03gingeI would rather buy gadgets
22:46.20ali1234supermarket vodka tastes like industrial solvent and probably is about as bad for you
22:46.22Marajinand for 10-12 pints (which is kinda what Ican get to on beer).. well I'd be up to buying very nice whisky

23:20.39MarajinDVB isn't fussy, an allen key jammed into the end of an RF cable works
23:20.40gingeI made one but you have to move it based on what channel you want to watch
23:20.51gingeyou say that but I can see bob all
23:21.01MarajinI get all channels on that concept precisely
23:21.07gingeI have the aerial on a piece of paper with a key for which channels are where
23:21.09gingelike a sundial

23:24.10gingeI can get ITV without the aerial
23:24.10ali1234i have 20% signal here and it works, because i have a rooftop aerial and low noise
23:24.11Marajinyeah I was talking about quality not strength man
23:24.24gingebut we all know how good ITV is
23:24.36MarajinI'm not sure I've ever had a reason to watch ITV
23:24.49gingenot without wanting to boil your own head
23:24.51Marajinginge: I suppose if you can make it work could try making my tuner stream ? ;)
23:25.12gingeMarajin: naa, I will just watch paint dry. more entertaining
23:25.24Marajinbut really I'd advocate just stealing some of my digital videos directly instead of streaming live TV ;)
23:25.34gingeheh
23:25.36ali1234funny, ITV is the hardest to tune usually, because they pack in more channels, they have less chance of error correction
23:26.24gingeokay CDK installed.
23:26.37gingewhat do we want from this textOS?
23:26.56ali1234a contacts list and phone dialer

23:27.50gingetext message
23:27.57gingewhat about incoming alerts?
23:28.03ali1234personally i would use SDL FB not curses. it supports touchscreen...
23:28.10gingeali1234: ahhh
23:28.21gingeali1234: good save, I was just about to read the CDK docs
23:28.32ali1234maybe ncurses do too
23:28.43Marajinncurses supports mouse input
23:28.48Marajinthat may be extendable to TS
23:28.59ginge/dev/input should work
23:29.14ali1234SDL has special input driver for touchscreen support
23:29.36ali1234its also probably faster. curses is only fast when your video card supports vga text-mode
23:29.59ali1234otherwise it will be blitting anyway. if you are going to blit, might as well use a library that is gear up for blitting
23:30.24gingeyeah
23:30.34ali1234lets not forget you can make it skinable with SDL
23:30.45Marajinwell
23:30.46ali1234actually you might as well just use qtopia if going down that route
23:31.00gingenoe
23:31.01Marajinyeah but it doesn't work on the kaiser (yet)
23:31.06ali1234why?
23:31.16MarajinIunno, didnt spend time working out why
23:31.30ali1234did you get an error message?
23:32.13MarajinUm I didn't check, I just built a bunch of images and flicked through them one by one
23:32.20ali1234?
23:32.41Marajin"Does it boot? No, NEXT!"
23:32.46ali1234hahaha
23:32.55ali1234that's completely the wrong way to go about testing anything
23:33.01MarajinI wasn't testing anything
23:33.06MarajinI was seeing if anything just plain boots
23:33.14MarajinWHY it won't boot is not my concern

23:34.11gingeALoGeNo: hello
23:34.17ali1234so in fact, it almost certainly works just fine
23:34.34Marajinali1234: No, it don't work, it almost certainly can be fixed is what you should say
23:34.46ali1234nope, i doubt that there is anything wrong with qtopia
23:35.03Marajinali1234: sure, it's probably the kernel. I think it said it couldn't lock the FB
23:35.30ali1234right. that's what it said on wizard until i recompiled the kernel with sysvipc support, then it worked fine
23:35.41Marajinginge: Do we have sysvipc?
23:35.53ali1234specifically you need shm support
23:35.53gingedunno. I only boot into console image
23:36.00Marajinheh
23:36.15gingeno, we dot have sysvipc
23:36.22Marajinprobably it then
23:36.34Marajinhighly worth building a kernel with it and trying qtopia then
23:36.40Marajintries to bitbake a new qtopia image
23:36.54gingecan you try that? I have to do my taxi service thing now
23:37.08gingebbl (maybe)
23:37.19Marajinginge: I'll give it a shot =)
23:37.42gingeif not I will give it a go when I get back (assuming I am allowed)
23:37.47Marajinheh
23:37.48gingelooks at the thumbprint on forehead

23:43.02ALoGeNoMarajin: what is yor htc?
23:43.10Marajinali1234: typical, topia image won't bitbake. uicmoc4
23:43.15MarajinALoGeNo: HTC Kaiser and Hermes
23:43.24ali1234why cant you just use the image you used before?
23:43.32ali1234it's not like you have to recompile everything over and over
23:43.48Marajinali1234: I don't remember where it is, wasn't built for the kaiser specifically but it should be compatible
23:43.50ALoGeNooh nice i have hermes, fucking ded driver ;)
23:44.00MarajinALoGeNo: I know :
23:44.01ALoGeNoi hate kaise hehhee is much better :)
23:44.03Marajin*:(
23:44.14ALoGeNokaiser*
23:44.17ali1234doesnt matter, qtopia should be targetting arm-eabi which is same on all htc phones
23:44.24Marajinali1234: Precisely
23:44.32Marajinali1234: But I don't remember where the image was.
23:44.50ali1234use babelO image then, geez
23:45.18ali1234you might have to turn off tinyshm in kernel too, not sure, but i turned it off...
23:45.20ALoGeNoMarajin: the kaiser images of android dont work in hermes no?
23:46.10ALoGeNoi compiled my own image from linux and no result.. but i thing that hermes need another config no?
23:46.12MarajinALoGeNo: I wouldn't think so, never tried
23:46.31ALoGeNooh.. kk
