| 18:46:43 | George- | lucky 5mx people |
| 18:46:45 | George- | ... |
| 18:46:53 | George- | series 5'ers used to hold top cards |
| 18:47:00 | George- | but all the s5 developers are dead or something |
| 18:47:22 | ctr | well |
| 18:47:40 | ctr | i dont know enough about the hardware to get the kernel booting on my series5 |
| 18:48:26 | ctr | but the 5mx looked morehopefull so i bought one and a 256mb cf card |
| 18:48:37 | George- | ctr: ask me for that |
| 18:48:50 | George- | (about the s5) |
| 18:48:58 | George- | I used to be a sorta s5 developer |
| 18:48:59 | George- | well |
| 18:49:06 | George- | person that tried to get things working |
| 18:49:27 | ctr | well if i ever have a spare week |
| 18:49:31 | ctr | or something |
| 18:49:39 | ctr | i will try and get it booting on my series 5 |
| 18:49:56 | ctr | i may just be tempted to ask my cs dept to let my turn it into a webserver or something :) |
| 18:53:20 | George- | cs? |
| 18:53:35 | ctr | computer science |
| 18:53:38 | ctr | i am in my final year |

| 18:56:22 | ctr | i'd plug a cf network card in it :) |
| 18:56:26 | George- | can I run IP Masq down slip? |
| 18:56:27 | George- | heh |
| 18:56:32 | ctr | but why use slip |
| 18:56:36 | ctr | why not use ppp? |
| 18:57:13 | George- | on what? |
| 18:57:18 | George- | hmm? |
| 18:57:25 | George- | I have a gateway here |
| 18:58:20 | ctr | ppp on the serial port |
| 18:58:20 | ctr | :) |
| 18:59:01 | george_ | bleh |
| 20:16:54 | George- | wb |
| 20:24:20 | ctr | hi |
| 21:41:36 | johnix | yow! |
| 21:42:10 | George- | hey johnix |
| 21:42:18 | johnix | Hello George- |
| 21:42:25 | George- | (I'm Geyz0 |
| 21:42:36 | George- | ie - George Wright |
| 21:42:36 | George- | heh |
| 21:50:25 | johnix | anything new going on? |
| 21:50:58 | George- | uhm |
| 21:51:09 | George- | I'm still trying to get my damn pcmcia subsystem to work |
| 21:51:13 | George- | so I can partition my CF :) |
| 23:09:52 | George- | fraggle: ping |
| 23:10:10 | fraggle | pong |
| 23:10:29 | George- | fraggle: what do you do for PsiLinux? |
| 23:10:38 | fraggle | uh |
| 23:10:39 | fraggle | not much |
| 23:10:49 | fraggle | i only got my revo like 3 days ago :) |
| 23:10:50 | George- | what er.. |
| 23:11:01 | George- | psion do you have? |
| 23:11:01 | George- | oh |
| 23:11:06 | George- | ok :) |
| 23:11:16 | George- | revos don't have CF slots do they? |
| 23:11:24 | fraggle | no |
| 23:12:14 | fraggle | which makes things difficult |
| 23:12:36 | fraggle | there are some distros available for the revo+ but the plain revo is a bit left out |
| 23:12:37 | George- | that's a shame do you have a revo + |
| 23:12:51 | fraggle | i'm hoping to do a plain revo distro maybe |
| 23:13:13 | George- | if you want to help contribute to eTux, feel free |
| 23:13:24 | fraggle | whats etux |
| 23:13:29 | George- | I haven't done any development for it yet, but the sourceforge place is all there |
| 23:13:38 | George- | a psion distro for the 5 |
| 23:13:42 | fraggle | oh cool |
| 23:13:43 | George- | etux.sf.net |
| 23:13:59 | George- | I was gonna do it like.. last year |
| 23:14:17 | George- | but with joining the KDE project on as a coder for KDE-Edu, and with getting a new laptop, I haven't had time |
| 23:15:10 | George- | The Revo is ok in comparison to a vanilla S5 with no CF |
| 23:15:22 | George- | Faster processor, same amount of RAM... |
| 23:15:27 | fraggle | lack of cf does limit what i can do though |
| 23:15:41 | fraggle | very limited amount of stuff i'll be able to fit on there |
| 23:15:42 | George- | n/m that |
| 23:16:01 | George- | it's just like having a 5 when it didn't have CF support :) |
| 23:16:30 | George- | you can get busybox, bash, joe and a few megs for home |
| 23:16:52 | fraggle | yeah |
| 23:16:59 | fraggle | i was hoping to fit picogui on there |
| 23:17:14 | George- | You might be able to |
| 23:17:32 | Inertia_JBM | heya guys ;) - George, |
| 23:17:36 | George- | if you trust Comet's online auctioning, you may be able to pick up a 5mx for about #15 |
| 23:17:42 | George- | if you trust Comet's online auctioning, you may be able to pick up a 5mx for about 15 pounds |
| 23:17:48 | George- | hey Jason |
| 23:17:49 | Inertia_JBM | George!!?! |
| 23:17:52 | Inertia_JBM | 15! |
| 23:17:54 | Inertia_JBM | ?! |
| 23:18:01 | George- | hmm? |
| 23:18:07 | Inertia_JBM | thats quite cheap no? |
| 23:18:15 | George- | I saw one that had two bids on it for 11 pounds |
| 23:18:21 | George- | yea |
| 23:18:32 | George- | expires on the 2nd iirc |
| 23:18:40 | Inertia_JBM | thats worryingly cheap no? |
| 23:18:47 | Inertia_JBM | I guess not new? |
| 23:18:48 | George- | yea |
| 23:18:52 | fraggle | i got this revo in an auction |
| 23:19:03 | Inertia_JBM | how much? |
| 23:19:07 | fraggle | 65 quid |
| 23:19:30 | George- | heh |
| 23:19:31 | Inertia_JBM | not bad |
| 23:19:40 | George- | in the last 5 hours it's gone up 100 pounds |
| 23:19:40 | Inertia_JBM | I found a 5mx new for 150.. which I thought was good . |
| 23:19:41 | George- | so.. er.. |
| 23:19:48 | George- | That's that gone |
| 23:20:04 | Inertia_JBM | eh? |
| 23:20:11 | George- | jeez.. I picked up my 5 for 300 |
| 23:20:26 | George- | plain old series 5 :) |
| 23:20:38 | Inertia_JBM | my 5 was 75.. but I cant seem to get a decent linux install on the 5 |
| 23:20:48 | Inertia_JBM | so Im thinking investing in a 5mx might be a good move... hmmm |
| 23:21:09 | fraggle | there arent any decent installs for the revo either |
| 23:21:11 | fraggle | plain revo that is |
| 23:21:15 | fraggle | there are a few for the revo+ |
| 23:21:24 | George- | Inertia_JBM: what about CF? |
| 23:21:37 | George- | Inertia_JBM: with a 160MB CF and 8MB RAM, you can have a lot of fun :)( |
| 23:23:30 | George- | fraggle: do you want to help out with eTux then? |
| 23:23:39 | fraggle | possibly yeah |
| 23:23:47 | George- | btw - did anyone get my post to the ml about the Series 5 status? |
| 23:23:58 | George- | because no one's replied, and I'm wondering if it actually made it |
| 23:24:00 | fraggle | i'm planning on porting sopwith to my revo |
| 23:24:05 | fraggle | so you could include that maybe |
| 23:24:08 | fraggle | its quite small |
| 23:24:13 | George- | sopwith? |
| 23:24:33 | fraggle | http://fraggle.despayre.org:81/stuffage/sopwith/origsrc.shtml |
| 23:24:41 | fraggle | classic pc game |
| 23:24:54 | George- | kewl |
| 23:25:13 | fraggle | oh except its not totally open source unfortunately |
| 23:25:21 | George- | who wrote it? |
| 23:25:35 | fraggle | a company called bmb compuscience |
| 23:25:36 | fraggle | in the 80s |
| 23:25:48 | George- | you just wrote an emulator? |
| 23:25:51 | fraggle | no |
| 23:25:54 | fraggle | the source is available |
| 23:26:08 | fraggle | although technically its not open source |
| 23:26:12 | George- | hmm? |
| 23:26:15 | fraggle | because there are restrictions on its use |
| 23:26:28 | George- | oh |
| 23:26:44 | George- | do you have an sf account? |
| 23:26:49 | fraggle | yes |
| 23:26:50 | George- | I could add you as a developer if you want |
| 23:27:00 | fraggle | ok i guess heh |
| 23:27:07 | George- | (if I can remember what my damn pass is) |
| 23:27:39 | George- | I'm in :) |
| 23:27:45 | George- | your username is fraggle? |
| 23:27:49 | fraggle | yeah |
| 23:27:58 | George- | ok |
| 23:28:05 | Inertia_JBM | George - which post was this (sorry for being slow)! |
| 23:28:19 | George- | "Status of S5 port?" |
| 23:28:24 | George- | by "George Wright" |
| 23:29:09 | Inertia_JBM | George - what is your status in the project btw? |
| 23:29:15 | Inertia_JBM | sorry for asking - should know .. |
| 23:29:24 | Inertia_JBM | Was your email a question btw? |
| 23:30:04 | George- | Inertia_JBM: I was a developer |
| 23:30:08 | George- | before I stuffed up everything |
| 23:30:10 | George- | heh |
| 23:30:13 | Inertia_JBM | eh? |
| 23:30:16 | Inertia_JBM | confuzzled? |
| 23:30:25 | George- | I used to be a S5 developer/complainer/tester |
| 23:30:41 | George- | but I got a new laptop, and I can't get PCMCIA to work |
| 23:30:48 | George- | and so I can't sort out my CF |
| 23:30:52 | George- | which has totally stuffed me |
| 23:31:00 | George- | I'm also the guy who setup this chan |
| 23:31:27 | fraggle | heh i hate it when you forget about secret tracks on the end of albums |
| 23:31:45 | George- | ? |
| 23:31:48 | fraggle | and they suddenly start and make you jump |
| 23:31:57 | George- | Simon Howard, right? |
| 23:32:01 | fraggle | yes |
| 23:32:09 | George- | I've added you as a developer/admin |
| 23:32:10 | George- | ok? |
| 23:32:13 | fraggle | ok thanks |
| 23:32:57 | George- | I trust you know how to use sf better than me :) |
| 23:32:58 | Inertia_JBM | George... Chan? |
| 23:33:14 | George- | Inertia_JBM: I setup this chat channel |
| 23:33:16 | George- | #PsiLinux |
| 23:33:42 | Inertia_JBM | ahh right ;) |
| 23:33:46 | George- | Oh |
| 23:33:54 | George- | And I also wrote the original series 5 howto |
| 23:33:54 | Inertia_JBM | ... Im still angling for admin status =^_^= hehe |
| 23:34:02 | George- | on...? |
| 23:34:07 | Inertia_JBM | PsiLinux |
| 23:34:18 | George- | heh |
| 23:34:23 | George- | you're higher than me |
| 23:34:24 | George- | :) |
| 23:34:25 | Inertia_JBM | did I do it justice in the last rewrite of the site? |
| 23:34:31 | Inertia_JBM | I am? |
| 23:34:33 | George- | I was like.. the third guy to be put on the team :) |
| 23:34:48 | George- | Inertia_JBM: I'm not even classified as developer, nor doc writer |
| 23:34:50 | George- | I'm a nobody =P |
| 23:34:55 | George- | but you're a developer |
| 23:35:10 | Inertia_JBM | George - I dunno - I was like quite late in the situation but I dunno - I think I do a fair amount of admin like stuff |
| 23:35:34 | George- | Inertia_JBM: :) |
| 23:35:39 | Inertia_JBM | hehe ;) |
| 23:35:48 | Inertia_JBM | which reminds me => what do you think of the new site? |
| 23:35:57 | George- | well.. I'm not really a 7k developer much anymore |
| 23:36:03 | George- | I'm into KDE development now |
| 23:36:06 | Inertia_JBM | ahh! |
| 23:36:17 | George- | the new site's great |
| 23:36:38 | Inertia_JBM | its getting there aint it.... I keep worrying about finding new bugs! |
| 23:36:46 | George- | hmm...? |
| 23:36:48 | George- | what is? |
| 23:37:43 | Inertia_JBM | ? |

| 23:40:22 | Inertia_JBM | fraid they disappeared mate. |
| 23:40:27 | George- | we want X11 too =P |

| 23:40:47 | George- | yea |
| 23:40:55 | Inertia_JBM | fraid its down to the new guys. |
| 23:41:21 | Inertia_JBM | and to be fair - a good job is being done. - though I wish some 5 stuff came along - looks like the 5mx is definately on the shopping list |
| 23:41:24 | George- | heh |
| 23:41:33 | George- | Even I've died, sort of |
| 23:41:33 | George- | ;) |
