03:47:51 | DragonEagle | is away: bbiaf, got to go the store for a sec |
04:18:26 | DragonEagle | is back (gone 00:30:35) |
07:15:37 | DragonEagle | is away: going to dennys to drink coffee and study salamander |
10:05:46 | Azoth | morning |
11:18:54 | Weasle | I'm trying to use osloader, but when I try uses the bootldr my ipaq resets with a blank screen and I have to reset it?? |
11:19:01 | Weasle | Can anyone help?? |
12:44:07 | mcgizzard | anyone awake? |
12:44:13 | Azoth | barely |
12:45:12 | mcgizzard | heh |
12:45:20 | mcgizzard | ever mess round with familiar? |
12:45:38 | mcgizzard | I'm having weird stuff happening with my root image xmodem transfer |
12:45:39 | Azoth | yeah ... I have it installed on my iPAQ, v0.5 |
12:46:02 | mcgizzard | in that it keeps cutting off a while after I send it to the background |
12:46:10 | mcgizzard | and I can't get the xmodem transfer window back |
12:46:23 | mcgizzard | I know technically it's an XP issues |
12:46:24 | mcgizzard | but |
12:46:29 | mcgizzard | just wondering if anyone else had this |
12:46:31 | Azoth | hmm, are you using sz or minicom? |
12:46:37 | Azoth | oh ... windows. |
12:46:40 | mcgizzard | I'm using hyperterminal on Windows XP |
12:46:45 | mcgizzard | :( |
12:47:13 | Azoth | Hmm, I have had no problems with using Hyperterminal on W2K |
12:47:32 | mcgizzard | It only seems to disappear when I'm doing other stuff |
12:47:39 | mcgizzard | like reading web pages as it downloads |
12:47:43 | mcgizzard | so it's minimised |
12:47:47 | mcgizzard | then when I bring it back up |
12:47:51 | mcgizzard | the transfer window has gone |
12:47:54 | mcgizzard | weird huh? |
12:49:39 | mcgizzard | have you tried pocket linux, intimate or debian? |
12:50:40 | mcgizzard | [A[A |
12:50:44 | mcgizzard | |
12:50:45 | Tangent | mcgizzard : You could always try a different terminal emulator... TeraTerm and ZOC print to mind |
12:50:52 | mcgizzard | hmm |
12:50:53 | mcgizzard | yeah |
12:51:00 | mcgizzard | might give that a try if this screws over |
12:51:03 | | http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html |
12:51:03 | Tangent | ibot1 : tera term |
12:51:19 | mcgizzard | that's a well trained bot! |
12:53:11 | mcgizzard | thanks guys |
12:53:25 | mcgizzard | so what do you make of the other ipaq compatible distros? |
12:53:42 | mcgizzard | is it really *worth* getting a 1 gig microdrive for intimate? |
12:59:50 | Tangent | mcgizzard : Well.. I'd say yes.. but then I started the intimate project :) |
13:01:13 | mcgizzard | heh |
13:01:26 | mcgizzard | so what's pocket linux like. It looks more 'pda' to me |
13:01:53 | mcgizzard | The XML/Java stuff is pretty cool, but I'm looking for something with a C compiler |
13:02:01 | mcgizzard | maybe lcc and diet libc |
13:03:58 | mcgizzard | what are the pcmcia NIC drivers like on ARM kernels? |
13:04:41 | Tangent | mcgizzard : NIC drivers are pretty much up to scratch.. they're just the regular ones from the kernel |
13:05:02 | Tangent | mcgizzard : If you're looking for something with a C compiler, I think intimate is your only option at the moment.. |
13:05:27 | Tangent | mcgizzard : I spent around 20 mins playing with pocket linux about 9 months ago.. It wasn't very good at the time... very very slow... I expect it's a lot better now |
13:05:27 | mcgizzard | doh!!!!! |
13:06:20 | Azoth | tangent: do you know if there is a driver for the 3Com 575CT NIC? |
13:06:47 | Tangent | Azoth : I believe the 3c575 is a cardbus card.. not a pc-card card... |
13:07:02 | mcgizzard | so I have to compile stuff on an x86 |
13:07:04 | Tangent | Azoth : the iPAQ only supports 16bit PCMCIA cards.. not 32bit cardbus cards |
13:07:12 | mcgizzard | then transfer across |
13:07:15 | mcgizzard | :( |
13:07:20 | Azoth | tangent: uhm, ack |
13:07:21 | Tangent | mcgizzard : Nod.. you'd need the cross compile toolchain |
13:07:35 | mcgizzard | wouldn't the support depend upon the pcmcia jacket? |
13:08:02 | Tangent | Azoth : Tell me about it.. I have a nice shiney 3c575 here that's hardly been used.. I'm using a 'dregs of the barrel' dlink card that's about 6 years old and held together with sticky tape |
13:08:18 | Azoth | well, I have a 3CXFE575CT card... *sniff* |
13:08:46 | Azoth | Hmm, har the wavelan cards supported only 16 bit? |
13:09:54 | Tangent | Azoth : Basically there's two different types of pcmcia card... regular pcmcia which is an ISA bus mapped to the 68pin pcmcia connector... and cardbus, which is a PCI slot mapped to the 68pin PCMCIA connector |
13:10:23 | Tangent | Azoth : Fortunately most WLAN cards are PC-Card so they work fine |
13:10:38 | Azoth | Tangent: ah, I was not aware of the inner workings of the cards in such fine details... :-) |
13:10:53 | Tangent | Azoth : Owning an iPAQ teaches you many things :) |
13:11:00 | Tangent | Azoth : I didn't use to know |
13:11:21 | Azoth | Hehe, it certainly does. Especially when running linux instead of pocketpc *shiver* |
13:12:26 | Azoth | argh: DriveReady SeekComplete Error |
13:12:42 | Azoth | I am about to throw the crappy cdrom drive in the wall right now |
13:13:30 | mcgizzard | heh |
13:14:50 | Azoth | It's a cdrom on my laptop, not the iPAQ... :-) |
13:15:13 | Azoth | I am trying to install something from it, but the drive complains about seek errors. |
13:15:33 | Azoth | either 1) the media is bad or 2) the drive is shot. Either way it is making me scale the walls. |
13:16:09 | mcgizzard | hmm |
13:16:15 | mcgizzard | is it IDE? |
13:16:35 | mcgizzard | I've had driveseek errors on cdroms from dodgy ide cables |
13:17:02 | mcgizzard | same thing about me getting 'Too many NACKS' off my infra-red keyboard. No probs with windows, but linux has a fit |
13:17:05 | Azoth | yeah ... but this is an internal drive on my laptop, no chance for me to replace the cables |
13:17:37 | mcgizzard | hmm |
13:17:46 | mcgizzard | well |
13:17:51 | mcgizzard | in my professional opinion |
13:17:54 | mcgizzard | you're screwed |
13:17:56 | Azoth | hehe |
13:17:59 | mcgizzard | potentially ;) |
13:18:17 | Azoth | Well ... I just swapped the harddrive with another one, containing the programs that I want |
13:18:31 | Azoth | so, now we'll see if things will play for me |
13:22:08 | Azoth | and we have liftoff |
13:22:13 | Azoth | :-) |
13:57:33 | mcgizz | back again |
13:57:51 | mcgizzard | hmmm |
13:58:23 | mcgizzard | anyone ever get bootldr sending data down the cable, but not letting you send it back? |
13:59:53 | Tangent | mcgizzard : Flow control needs turning off |
14:00:15 | Tangent | mcgizzard : Either that, or your cable isn't plugged in properly |
14:02:17 | mcgizzard | hmm |
14:02:22 | mcgizzard | flow control is off |
14:04:23 | mcgizzard | weird as fuq |
14:04:40 | mcgizzard | whenever I push calendar, I get ser_con coming up |
14:04:42 | mcgizzard | but I can't type |
14:05:53 | mcgizzard | that was odd |
14:05:59 | mcgizzard | restarted hyperterminal and it's fine |
14:06:17 | mcgizzard | how come the power keeps going off even though it's plugged into the mains? |
14:06:21 | mcgizzard | is that an apm thing? |
14:13:20 | mcgizzard | doh! |
14:24:00 | mcgizzard | bbiab |
15:47:49 | | hmmm... konqueror is at http://bolug.uni-bonn.de/files/konq-e/ |
15:47:49 | Azoth | ibot1 konqueror |
15:49:50 | | Azoth: sorry... |
15:49:50 | Azoth | ibot1 opera |
15:55:28 | Azoth | hum, is there a way to make system information list the space available on the CF card? :-) |
16:12:36 | Azoth | excellent. I now have a wireless connection. :-D |
16:15:24 | | i heard mail was on it's way :-) |
16:15:24 | Azoth | ibot1 mail |
16:15:28 | Azoth | hmp |
16:15:32 | Azoth | ibot kmail |
16:15:38 | | Azoth: huh? |
16:15:38 | Azoth | ibot1 kmail |
16:15:46 | yargon | damn you lucky man... |
16:25:13 | Azoth | it is nice |
16:25:42 | yargon | can someone please tell me how to add a source to my ipkg.conf? |
16:25:53 | yargon | src bipolar-feed http://www.longbros.com/benjamin/ipaq/dist/feed |
16:25:57 | yargon | that doesn work |
16:26:30 | Azoth | is it perchance the older ipkg config? |
16:26:41 | yargon | huh? |
16:26:53 | yargon | its whatever is in 0.4 |
16:27:25 | Azoth | I am not sure if you have to do IPKG_SOURCE="http://qpe.sourceforge.net/packages/ipaq/" |
16:27:36 | Azoth | if it is an older version of ipkg |
16:27:40 | | ipkg is probably the Itsy Package Management System used by Familiar: http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/iPKG or find the source in the handhelds.org CVS http://cvs.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/familiar/dist/ipkg/ |
16:27:40 | Azoth | ibot1 ipkg |
16:28:09 | Azoth | what feed is tha bipolar feed? |
16:28:22 | yargon | it has qpe |
16:28:30 | mcgizzard | hi again folks |
16:28:37 | yargon | Azoth : does the above source work on 0.4? |
16:29:03 | yargon | Azoth : im not sure which one to use |
16:29:06 | mcgizzard | anyone here know how to set up wireless on familiar 0.4? |
16:29:09 | Azoth | yargon: I am not sure if it does. Here is another qpe feed: src Qt-Palmtop http://qpe.sourceforge.net/packages/ipaq |
16:29:36 | Azoth | mcgizzard : I just set it up on 0.5, right out of the box |
16:29:39 | yargon | Azoth : "feed" means file server.... right? |
16:30:43 | mcgizzard | azoth: you rule, I suck. I am a mere mortal |
16:30:45 | mcgizzard | :) |
16:31:02 | mcgizzard | how did you set it up on 0.5? |
16:31:38 | yargon | Azoth : what is the main qpe package name? |
16:33:03 | Azoth | yargon : qpe-qipkg |
16:33:31 | Azoth | mcgizzard : I didn't it was already set up, the only thing I had to do was to put the card into the pcmcia slot |
16:33:36 | mcgizzard | hmm |
16:33:41 | yargon | Azoth : hmm... doesnt work... |
16:35:36 | Azoth | yargon : Sorry, it might be different from the version I am using, which is familiar v0.5 |
16:35:52 | yargon | Azoth : i c... |
16:36:04 | yargon | Azoth : should i upgrade to 0.5? |
16:36:09 | yargon | ipkg_install_file: ERROR: File //tmp/ipkg/qpe-qipkg_1.5.0-3_arm.ipk not found |
16:36:35 | Azoth | yargon : did you do a 'ipkg update' after you added the source? |
16:36:44 | yargon | uup |
16:36:44 | yargon | yup |
16:36:50 | yargon | it downloaded the file |
16:36:58 | yargon | but then cant find where it temp stored it |
16:37:49 | Azoth | hmm, try QTDIR=/usr;export QTDIR |
16:38:20 | Azoth | other than that I am out of ideas. |
16:38:37 | yargon | ok |
16:40:49 | Azoth | this is the command: ipkg install qpe-qipkg |
16:42:09 | yargon | my version of ipkg must only allow one source at a time |
16:42:46 | yargon | ipkg_install_file: ERROR: File //tmp/ipkg/qpe-qipkg_1.5.0-3_arm.ipk not found |
16:44:44 | Azoth | yeah, try uncommenting all but the qpe source, then do a ipkg update, then ipkg install qpe-qipkg |
16:45:06 | Azoth | either that, or your ipkg package is broken |
16:45:23 | yargon | it doesnt upgrade it'self though |
16:45:30 | Azoth | I know there was a bug in ipkg a time ago (1-2 weeks) maybe it have resurfaced |
16:45:43 | mcgizzard | is there an easy way to upgrade to 0.5? |
16:45:59 | Azoth | uhm, |
16:46:03 | Azoth | not sure |
16:46:11 | mcgizzard | as in without reflashing over a serial port |
16:46:22 | mcgizzard | is there some magical ipkg-apt-get-dist function? |
16:46:52 | yargon | Azoth : i found where ipkg is downloading the file, but cant find it itself |
16:47:00 | yargon | /mnt/ramfs/var/tmp |
16:47:08 | yargon | maybe i should reboot the system |
16:59:57 | yargon | anyone know what package atd is in? |
17:08:23 | yargon | Tangent : did you get qpe running on 0.4? |
17:08:43 | Tangent | yargon : Yeah.. think so... might have been on 0.3 tho |
17:08:51 | yargon | i c |
17:09:22 | yargon | Tangent : i guess i better just install 0.5 |
17:09:53 | Tangent | yargon : Always best to have the latest |
17:10:11 | yargon | ok |
17:10:20 | yargon | here we go for another root flashing session |
17:13:33 | Azoth | tangent : when playing .mp3s the sound is very chopped, sounds like it is not enough power to run it. Any ideas on how to go about fixing it? :-) |
17:19:05 | trj | Azoth: which mp3 player? |
17:20:20 | Tangent | Azoth : Are you playing mp3s from a microdrive, or straight from ram/flash? |
17:20:37 | Azoth | from flash |
17:20:46 | Azoth | the qpe mp3 mplayer |
17:21:27 | Tangent | Azoth : Never tried it... I suspect that the player is the problem.. I don't have a problem with madplay |
17:21:52 | Azoth | Tangent : ok ... |
17:22:14 | Azoth | I guess madplay cannot be used with qpe, eh? :-) |
17:25:21 | Azoth | hmm, what package is dmesg in, if available at all... |
17:26:29 | Azoth | heh ... madplay works just fine, there is just no frontend to it... hehe |
17:28:05 | Azoth | excellent. |
17:28:34 | yargon | yah |
17:28:41 | yargon | madplay is a console program |
17:29:03 | yargon | i was using that myself... (cus the X frontends dont really appeal to me that much...) |
17:29:55 | yargon | anyone know how much space the post-install is going to take? |
17:31:41 | yargon | Azoth : how much space do you have left after you have qpe installed for (music|books|pim data)? |
17:36:06 | Azoth | not much ... on a 6330 |
17:36:24 | yargon | same here |
17:36:24 | Azoth | but, I have a CF card at 128 Mb and a dual sleeve |
17:36:43 | yargon | Azoth : what does the dual sleeve do? |
17:36:52 | yargon | dual pcmcia? |
17:37:12 | yargon | or a dual CF card slots? |
17:38:10 | Azoth | dual pcmcia sleeve |
17:38:30 | yargon | dang... |
17:38:45 | yargon | that thing must suck up juice bad |
17:39:17 | yargon | Azoth : how long does your battery normaly last? mine seems very short... |
17:39:32 | Azoth | the dual pcmcia sleeve got extra batteries |
17:40:49 | Azoth | the batteries last for, well ... dunno, couple of hours. I had mine on all day since around 10 am, and I just now noticed that I hadn't plugged the power in... had 2% battery left |
17:41:14 | yargon | yeiks... |
17:43:40 | Azoth | heh, I managed to mount 2 memory cards, on 128 Mb and the other 64 Mb, on the same mount point... |
17:43:54 | Azoth | the total volume became 64 Mb. |
17:43:58 | Azoth | :-) |
17:44:06 | yargon | ha |
17:45:23 | Azoth | wooo. I now have a total of 228 Mb RAM in my iPAQ |
17:45:44 | yargon | how? |
17:46:28 | Azoth | one CompactFlash card of 128 Mb, then a SmartMedia on 64Mb in an pcmcia adapter |
17:46:56 | yargon | oh |
17:47:00 | Azoth | mounted the CF on /usr/local and installed qpe there, and I then mounted the Smarmedia on /mnt/hdc |
17:47:15 | yargon | Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 1f:00 |
17:47:18 | yargon | ouch |
17:47:27 | Azoth | of course, now I am back to a measly ppp connection |
17:47:35 | Azoth | Oh, well ... |
17:48:31 | yargon | i didn't set the kernel arguments correctly |
17:48:39 | yargon | i guess i can use the ones from 0.4, right? |
17:49:43 | yargon | Azoth : in the 0.5 guide, it doesnt say anything about kernel arguments |
17:50:53 | yargon | Azoth : use arguments from 0.4 guide? |
17:50:56 | Azoth | no, I just did a params partition reset |
17:50:59 | Azoth | or what it was. |
17:51:07 | Azoth | read the guide. It is all in there |
17:51:20 | yargon | i did that too |
17:51:30 | yargon | but now my kernel gives me |
17:51:31 | yargon | Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 1f:00 |
17:52:58 | yargon | funny |
17:53:03 | yargon | booted and now it works |
17:56:08 | yargon | there isnt thet usb-net modules on 0.5? |
18:00:24 | yargon | usb-eth... doih |
18:07:25 | yargon | doih... df in 0.5 doesnt print the space on the ram disk |
18:09:04 | Azoth | sure it does |
18:09:15 | yargon | not for me... |
18:09:35 | yargon | im beginning to think doing a ipkg upgrade was a mistake |
18:10:07 | yargon | its download tons of stuff |
18:10:13 | yargon | including a new kernel and modules |
18:13:06 | Azoth | yeah, that is a good thing. :-) |
18:14:37 | yargon | whut the hell? |
18:14:48 | yargon | this is just like debian |
18:14:54 | yargon | i could swear this is debian |
18:15:05 | yargon | (almost...) |
18:16:26 | Azoth | I begin to think it was a bad idea to use ext2 as a filesystem on the CF cards.... |
18:16:43 | Azoth | but how do I create a jff2s filesystem |
18:18:09 | Kero | Azoth: you /could/ create one on your big Linux PC and then copy it onto your CF, but I can imagine you want something faster.. |
18:19:27 | yargon | now my usbnet doesnt work... |
18:19:31 | Azoth | Kero: hmm, not a good idea in other words. |
18:20:17 | Azoth | Kero: it's just that it won't bring up QPE properly once in a while when having qpe on the CF |
18:22:52 | Kero | ext2 will wear out certain parts of your flash /very/ fast, unless you mount it read-only. |
18:25:33 | Azoth | Kero: Whoops! |
18:25:48 | Azoth | Kero: How do you suggest I go about it? |
18:26:34 | Kero | check /etc/fstab, see whether the option "ro" is passed. |
18:26:42 | Azoth | it isn't. |
18:27:05 | Azoth | Dang, seems like a microdrive is the only solution. :-) |
18:27:15 | Kero | do you mount/unmount/reboot often? |
18:27:26 | Kero | or, did you, rather. |
18:27:37 | Azoth | Kero : well, I have been doing that now, yes. During testing and setup |
18:29:14 | Azoth | *ponder* |
18:29:21 | Kero | Don't do it too often and try to convert to jffs2 as soon as possible. |
18:29:58 | Azoth | Kero: Do you have an URL for that procedure? |
18:30:04 | Kero | I do not know jffs2 well enough to know how to cheat and copy a small image onto CF and still be able to use it entirely. |
18:30:15 | Kero | no URL, either. |
18:30:21 | Azoth | Kero : ok. thanks |
18:30:33 | Kero | You could ask dwmw2 on #handhelds.org, but he's away atm. |
18:31:00 | Azoth | Kero : I'll give it a shot, and in the meantime have the CF mounted ro |
18:31:18 | Kero | the small-image-trick is used to install familiar, so some cheating is possible; you'll have to reinstall everything ont it, though (i'm afraid). |
18:31:43 | Kero | plus jffs2 compresses your data :) |
18:31:49 | Azoth | Humm |
18:31:51 | Azoth | :-) |
18:31:55 | Kero | mounting ro is a safe bet. |
18:32:11 | Kero | runs off to do some other things now. |
18:48:34 | yargon | hm.... |
18:48:50 | yargon | now my host doesnt work |
18:49:01 | yargon | Nov 24 03:48:06 raven modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module usb0 |
18:49:55 | yargon | uhhhhg |
18:50:01 | yargon | it was just working a minute ago |
18:52:01 | yargon | i dont get it |
18:54:25 | yargon | damn it.... |
18:55:54 | yargon | WTF!!! |
18:56:00 | joaop | modprobe usbnet? |
18:56:06 | Azoth | yargon : is it possible to give a playlist to madplay, or for instance say 'madplay * &' and it will play all the files? |
18:56:15 | | madplay is probably in the feed |
18:56:15 | Azoth | ibot1 madplay |
18:56:19 | yargon | yes it is |
18:56:33 | yargon | * works fine |
18:56:42 | Azoth | yargon : ok, thanks |
18:56:47 | yargon | np |
19:06:05 | yargon | qt-embedded_2.3.2-12_arm.ipk |
19:06:17 | DragonEagle | is back (gone 11:50:40) |
19:06:18 | yargon | ouch... its 1,390,886 bytes |
19:06:22 | yargon | dang that's big |

19:29:16 | yargon | book reader is what i need |
19:30:09 | yargon | damn qpe kicks ass |
19:54:03 | yargon | package manager is too unstable... |
20:09:45 | yargon | can someone please tell me which package in debian sid contains a rsync daemon? |
20:14:41 | Tangent | yargon : rsync |
20:14:47 | Tangent | yargon : Just use rsync --daemon |
20:16:04 | yargon | Tangent : oh... |
20:16:56 | yargon | im supprised debian doesnt have a default rsyncd.conf |
20:17:13 | Tangent | yargon : So am I |
20:17:51 | yargon | im going to make it sync the ramfs to a dir on my hdd |
20:18:49 | yargon | Tangent : which part of the ramdisk do you suggest to write to? |
20:19:05 | yargon | and how much can i use without a performance hit? |
20:20:05 | Tangent | yargon : I don't use ramdisk at all... I have 1GB microdrive |
20:20:20 | yargon | damn you lucky |
20:20:37 | yargon | i dont even have a cf sleeve yet |
20:20:48 | yargon | the thing is so big i dont want to use it |
20:20:52 | Tangent | yargon : I don'e actually use flash for anything other than getting the microdrive booting either |
20:21:13 | Tangent | yargon : You can always trim down the CF sleeve to something more reasonable.. that's what I did with mine |
20:21:22 | yargon | Tangent : i c... |
20:21:34 | yargon | Tangent : just chop off the sides or somehting? |
20:21:52 | Tangent | yargon : The front : http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/Untitled-5.jpg |
20:22:04 | Tangent | yargon : The back http://ipaq.secret.org.uk/piccies/C2_Img.jpg |
20:23:10 | yargon | sweet |
20:23:15 | yargon | very sweet |
20:23:36 | Tangent | yargon : Thanks... Took me an afternoon with my dremmel and some car body filler |
20:23:45 | Tangent | yargon : And another afternoon to paint it |
20:23:50 | yargon | dang... |
20:23:53 | yargon | i dont get how you did it |
20:23:57 | yargon | it's so compact |
20:24:09 | Tangent | yargon : Basically, ditch the back of the sleeve altogether |
20:24:09 | yargon | crazy |
20:24:18 | Tangent | yargon : trim down the sides on the front portion |
20:24:37 | Tangent | yargon : And then cover the PCB with body filler, and sand down until just above the PCB |
20:24:55 | Tangent | yargon : You could see the chips on the PCB about 0.1mm below the surface before I sprayed it |
20:24:58 | yargon | it's ok to do that over the pcb? |
20:25:17 | Tangent | yargon : Yep.. it's non-conducting, and the CF sleeve doesn't have any heat issues |
20:25:27 | yargon | i c... |
20:25:30 | yargon | nice.. |
20:25:32 | Tangent | yargon : It's just like packaing components in a potting compound |
20:25:49 | yargon | very nice... |
20:25:53 | yargon | how heavy is it? |
20:26:14 | Tangent | yargon : About the same weight as the original.. but it feels a lot more solid |
20:26:40 | yargon | that's sweet |
20:27:08 | yargon | you did the whole thing all the way around the card inserting slot? |
20:27:17 | yargon | with car putty? |
20:27:58 | Tangent | yargon : No.. I cut out the logo from the original back, and screwed it back on |
20:28:08 | yargon | ah... |
20:28:12 | Tangent | yargon : The card slot already had a metal cover |
20:28:14 | yargon | nice job |
20:28:24 | Tangent | Thanks |
20:29:04 | yargon | no i crave for a smaller CF sleeve |
20:29:12 | yargon | i have a CF reader on my notebook |
20:29:18 | yargon | super fast file transfers.... |
20:29:32 | yargon | well, usb isn't that bad... but... |
20:31:38 | yargon | is there any way to make sure a dir doesnt get over a certain size? |
20:38:56 | Tangent | yargon : Don't know of one.. I believe that quota support is missing |
20:39:06 | yargon | i c... |
20:39:33 | yargon | Tangent : so, if i have 32 megs of ram, up to how much is ok to use as storage? |
20:44:24 | Tangent | yargon : I've no idea... I run out of memory with 32M ram +32M swap, not using it for storage... but then I compile kernels on my iPAQ |
20:44:42 | yargon | i c... |
20:45:01 | Tangent | I don't actually use familiar on my iPAQ, and haven't done so for about 6 months now |
20:45:17 | yargon | dang... |
20:45:22 | yargon | then what are you using? |
20:45:35 | Tangent | yargon : I'm using intimate on my microdrive |
20:46:41 | yargon | ohhh... right... microdrive... |
20:56:00 | yargon | dang... i need a book reader for qpe |
