21:42:36George-heh
21:50:25johnixanything new going on?
21:50:58George-uhm
21:51:09George-I'm still trying to get my damn pcmcia subsystem to work
21:51:13George-so I can partition my CF :)
23:09:52George-fraggle: ping
23:10:10fragglepong
23:10:29George-fraggle: what do you do for PsiLinux?
23:10:38fraggleuh
23:10:39fragglenot much
23:10:49fragglei only got my revo like 3 days ago :)
23:10:50George-what er..
23:11:01George-psion do you have?
23:11:01George-oh
23:11:06George-ok :)
23:11:16George-revos don't have CF slots do they?
23:11:24fraggleno
23:12:14fragglewhich makes things difficult
23:12:36fragglethere are some distros available for the revo+ but the plain revo is a bit left out
23:12:37George-that's a shame do you have a revo +
23:12:51fragglei'm hoping to do a plain revo distro maybe
23:13:13George-if you want to help contribute to eTux, feel free
23:13:24fragglewhats etux
23:13:29George-I haven't done any development for it yet, but the sourceforge place is all there
23:13:38George-a psion distro for the 5
23:13:42fraggleoh cool
23:13:43George-etux.sf.net
23:13:59George-I was gonna do it like.. last year
23:14:17George-but with joining the KDE project on as a coder for KDE-Edu, and with getting a new laptop, I haven't had time
23:15:10George-The Revo is ok in comparison to a vanilla S5 with no CF
23:15:22George-Faster processor, same amount of RAM...
23:15:27fragglelack of cf does limit what i can do though
23:15:41fragglevery limited amount of stuff i'll be able to fit on there
23:15:42George-n/m that
23:16:01George-it's just like having a 5 when it didn't have CF support :)
23:16:30George-you can get busybox, bash, joe and a few megs for home
23:16:52fraggleyeah
23:16:59fragglei was hoping to fit picogui on there
23:17:14George-You might be able to
23:17:32Inertia_JBMheya guys ;) - George,
23:17:36George-if you trust Comet's online auctioning, you may be able to pick up a 5mx for about #15
23:17:42George-if you trust Comet's online auctioning, you may be able to pick up a 5mx for about 15 pounds
23:17:48George-hey Jason
23:17:49Inertia_JBMGeorge!!?!
23:17:52Inertia_JBM15!
23:17:54Inertia_JBM?!
23:18:01George-hmm?
23:18:07Inertia_JBMthats quite cheap no?
23:18:15George-I saw one that had two bids on it for 11 pounds
23:18:21George-yea
23:18:32George-expires on the 2nd iirc
23:18:40Inertia_JBMthats worryingly cheap no?
23:18:47Inertia_JBMI guess not new?
23:18:48George-yea
23:18:52fragglei got this revo in an auction
23:19:03Inertia_JBMhow much?
23:19:07fraggle65 quid
23:19:30George-heh
23:19:31Inertia_JBMnot bad
23:19:40George-in the last 5 hours it's gone up 100 pounds
23:19:40Inertia_JBMI found a 5mx new for 150.. which I thought was good .
23:19:41George-so.. er..
23:19:48George-That's that gone
23:20:04Inertia_JBMeh?
23:20:11George-jeez.. I picked up my 5 for 300
23:20:26George-plain old series 5 :)
23:20:38Inertia_JBMmy 5 was 75.. but I cant seem to get a decent linux install on the 5
23:20:48Inertia_JBMso Im thinking investing in a 5mx might be a good move... hmmm
23:21:09fragglethere arent any decent installs for the revo either
23:21:11fraggleplain revo that is
23:21:15fragglethere are a few for the revo+
23:21:24George-Inertia_JBM: what about CF?
23:21:37George-Inertia_JBM: with a 160MB CF and 8MB RAM, you can have a lot of fun :)(
23:23:30George-fraggle: do you want to help out with eTux then?
23:23:39fragglepossibly yeah
23:23:47George-btw - did anyone get my post to the ml about the Series 5 status?
23:23:58George-because no one's replied, and I'm wondering if it actually made it
23:24:00fragglei'm planning on porting sopwith to my revo
23:24:05fraggleso you could include that maybe
23:24:08fraggleits quite small
23:24:13George-sopwith?
23:24:33fragglehttp://fraggle.despayre.org:81/stuffage/sopwith/origsrc.shtml
23:24:41fraggleclassic pc game
23:24:54George-kewl
23:25:13fraggleoh except its not totally open source unfortunately
23:25:21George-who wrote it?
23:25:35fragglea company called bmb compuscience
23:25:36fragglein the 80s
23:25:48George-you just wrote an emulator?
23:25:51fraggleno
23:25:54fragglethe source is available
23:26:08fragglealthough technically its not open source
23:26:12George-hmm?
23:26:15fragglebecause there are restrictions on its use
23:26:28George-oh
23:26:44George-do you have an sf account?
23:26:49fraggleyes
23:26:50George-I could add you as a developer if you want
23:27:00fraggleok i guess heh
23:27:07George-(if I can remember what my damn pass is)
23:27:39George-I'm in :)
23:27:45George-your username is fraggle?

23:30:10George-heh
23:30:13Inertia_JBMeh?
23:30:16Inertia_JBMconfuzzled?
23:30:25George-I used to be a S5 developer/complainer/tester
23:30:41George-but I got a new laptop, and I can't get PCMCIA to work
23:30:48George-and so I can't sort out my CF
23:30:52George-which has totally stuffed me
23:31:00George-I'm also the guy who setup this chan
23:31:27fraggleheh i hate it when you forget about secret tracks on the end of albums
23:31:45George-?

23:35:10Inertia_JBMGeorge - I dunno - I was like quite late in the situation but I dunno - I think I do a fair amount of admin like stuff
23:35:34George-Inertia_JBM: :)
23:35:39Inertia_JBMhehe ;)
23:35:48Inertia_JBMwhich reminds me => what do you think of the new site?
