irclog2html for #zaurus on 20031227

00:00.17chuckrit shoujld, but rights, be pushed in the ddirection  of providing better dev environ rather than providing a better user env
00:00.28chuckrby rights  god my typing is horrible
00:01.18chuckrmy fingers have certain patterns memorized and when I just let the fingers get a way with me (when I want to type fast) the result can be quite freudian
00:02.05chuckranyhow, things like, more compilers, more editors, maybe more scripting lanuguages and gui's
00:02.11Pendalarthere is a pretty good dev environment
00:02.23chuckrI would wonder abou the nice gui that oz has
00:02.24Pendalarthe thing is the initiation is reading
00:02.48Pendalaryou go to Sharp to get some of the programming docs there, some from Trolltech (for general Qtopia stuff, widgets)
00:03.02Pendalarif you mean compiling stuff for OZ, you go to www.openembedded.org and read all that's there
00:03.12Pendalarit walks you through setting up a build environment
00:03.31chuckrwell, I thin that would be helped , if there was a link directly off the oz main page, with a large number of links, you know the page I';m referring to, maybe with a *little* better comments on the links, you'd find the questions you get would drop by 40% in the first week
00:03.32Pendalaronce you've done that, most of the devs are willing to listen to your questions
00:04.05chuckrstuff isn't all on the oz site, its scatterd, and finding it can be a bit of a challenge
00:04.14Pendalarmost of the web contents are on hold until they get the OZ buildroot completely transfered to the OE build system
00:04.39PendalarI assume it will get better, but right now other than the occassional new test image, there's no "user news"
00:04.52Pendalarand all the devs collab in #openembedded
00:04.56chuckrI know what my own problem was, it was all that familiararity with the BSD stuff, and not knowing beans about linux
00:05.09chuckrI've been reading linux kernel code
00:05.35PendalarI agree the documentation isn't as polished as it could be, but it's largely unwritten
00:05.46Pendalaryou can't polish it til you have the content hammered out.. which we're working on
00:06.04chuckrI have to admit, I was/am/will be blown away by the fact that you can actually use X11 on the Z and get fairly snappy respoonse
00:06.31PendalarI'm not too surprised since I run X11 very bloated on a 600mhz
00:06.40Pendalara 400mhz unit with a trimmed X11 should be fine
00:06.48Pendalar206mhz.. I'll pass
00:06.52chuckr600?   Z?
00:07.13chuckrok
00:07.28chuckrsash has overclocking in his latest, but I haven't yet tried that
00:07.28Pendalarno my box
00:07.44chuckrthe 860, the only diff, it's the usb, right?
00:07.48trekebut I dont tend to use kde/gnome much
00:07.57trekechuckr: paint job is the only difference I've seen
00:07.58Pendalarenglish dictionary and use it as a usb drive
00:08.06Pendalarand yeah the colors
00:08.22trekeYou can download the image for the c860 and flash it on the 760 apparently
00:08.25ljpwhy overclock a handheld
00:08.33ljpthats a bit silly, really
00:08.33chuckrI didn't, but I;'m going to try to port gtk to objective C, that will change matters for me, I'm so impressed with objective C that I' not entirely rational about it
00:08.44Pendalarit's not all that silly, but it does eat a battery to no end
00:08.53ljpit is silly
00:08.54trekeobjective c is pretty cool
00:09.01Pendalaras a former PalmSource user, I would have died without o/c
00:09.04trekeljp: Overclocking is silly. underclocking isnt a horrible idea
00:09.21Pendalaru/c a 33mhz unit sucks ;-)
00:09.22ljpon a handhelds, ya
00:09.24trekechuckr: started learning it this morning :)
00:09.35chuckrwhat about the idea of slapping toher twoo battery packs, and gettin gup a special connector so that you could have a fanny pack of power for the Z?
00:10.03chuckrI could cobble togehter a charger
00:10.03Pendalaror just mod a elite fuel cell
00:10.13Pendalaror solar...
00:10.19chuckrelite fuel cell?  Soemthing I shoujld google?
00:10.21Pendalaror wind for that matter, have a little perpeller
00:10.45chuckruh, no .... I think I would like some better power for the Z
00:10.45Pendalarnah I'm mostly just using my indepth slashdot-based knowledge..
00:11.06Pendalarwind would be good for.. joggers... and stuff
00:11.08chuckrit;s getting closer, fella, fule cells are nearly there
00:12.17chuckrI know electronics well enough to make a charger for a couple of those batteries, I think 2 betteries wou ld  make a truly usefulll amount of power, you wouldln't be able to run out.
00:13.21chuckrin fact, no reason, if they're external, to keep the sam eform factor, why no get the cheapest one's you could get that run less than, say , 2 pounds
00:14.18chuckrI'm going to investiage that, and get back to you.  Might come up with something very useful.
00:14.33chuckrhave you guys looked into objective C?
00:15.46PendalarI think most use C++
00:15.51PendalarI think that's sort of a "yes"
00:16.14chuckrnot really, that's like saying that java is supported because C++ is
00:16.32chuckrthey're not alike
00:16.56chuckrin fact, objective C is more like java than c++
00:17.07chuckrnot terribly, but closer.
00:17.21chuckrC++ is a huge boatanchor
00:17.38chuckrobjective C, for instance, is 100% C compatible
00:17.42chuckrC++ isn't
00:18.10Pendalarstill I think most of the guys use C++ when a choice
00:18.17Pendalaror port parts to ASM maybe
00:18.42chuckrare you saying C++ is more popular?  That's not the question
00:19.52chuckrI was saying which is a nicer language to use .... and I think, if you looked at it, you would likely get a surprise.  Your comment about which is more popular, well, don't get insulted, but that'sthe excuse that MS has been riding, isn't it?
00:20.44Pendalarit's not an excuse, I'm simply stating everyone I know who codes generally uses c++ for PDA applications
00:20.51Pendalarperhaps I don't talk to the right people
00:21.01Pendalarit's merely an observation
00:21.12chuckrobjectivve C has only those features really neccesary to add OO to C, with the exception that they added the interface feature from jhava
00:21.36PendalarI never implied which is better
00:21.39chuckrit's a greatly pared down language, as compared to C++
00:21.46PendalarI prefer regular C myself
00:21.54chuckrwell, better is in everyone's own eyes, I guess
00:22.16Pendalarbut that's largely because I don't know Java or OO C, or C++ for that metter
00:22.17Pendalarmatter
00:22.27chuckrI like C a lot myself, which is why I like the idea of adding the least possible.  It also makes troubleshooting and learning much easier.
00:23.02chuckrit has the idea of a central object that all other objects must  ultimately descend from, and only single inheritance
00:23.28chuckrrtti is in there, a gift from that central object idea
00:24.11chuckrI'll be back in a while, it's dinnertime, and all that xmas ham is calling me
00:24.12Pendalarit'd help if I had a c++ book
00:24.25chuckrC++ or objective C?
00:24.57Pendalarhmm well not sure
00:25.10PendalarI'd have to fully understand the difference as you do before I could make that judgement
00:25.31chuckrthere are so many C++ books at your local bookstore, yo uoughta be able to buy  one several years old and save a buck
00:26.04chuckrI have learned C++ for the sole reason, I wanted to be able to feel honest when I said I didn't like it.
00:26.30chuckrit's such a massibely overloaded design, it's terrible to fix
00:27.05chuckr14 ways to do  any job, and for every protection feature, there are 5 ways to unprotect and get around that feature
00:27.28Pendalarheh
00:27.42PendalarI have an old old C book and everything in it segfaults
00:27.48chuckrreally makes troubleshooting a crappy job.  Notice, it's HORRIBLY hard to write a good library for C++
00:28.00George-blehblehbleh
00:28.05Pendalardoh bbl, wife is calling
00:28.27chuckryeah, language wars.  OK, I stop it now.

03:51.12warmi_ljp: do trolls still work with Sharp ? or rather do they have a business relationship with them ?
03:51.41George-git.
03:52.22ljpwarmi_: yes and no. we have a meeting with them sometime soon, and are going to bring up a number of issues
03:52.24warmi_ah ... this is called "Zaurus Discussion" , one can easily forget
03:52.47warmi_ljp: yeah, but do they plan to purchase future versions of Qtopia etc ?
03:52.55George-zaurus sucks.
03:53.02George-I want Sharp to give me a new zaurus
03:53.09George-for free.
03:53.24warmi_there is that Z 600 comming out .. or so I keep hearing

03:53.36George-6000
03:53.42George-pxa255
03:53.42markwhats the gossip on other qt based pdas?
03:53.48George-640x480
03:53.51George-bt
03:53.52George-wifi
03:53.59George-keyboard etc
03:54.02George-looks quite nice
03:54.03ljpsharp has anounced the sl-6000 already
03:54.10George-anyway, I'm going to bed now
03:54.11warmi_I actually heard some things about Motorola releasing some sort of Qtopia based phone
03:54.13George-for real
03:54.16George-so good night.
03:54.18markwarmi_, yeh i heard that
03:54.23warmi_George: good night for real
03:54.25markwarmi_, asia only though
03:54.26ljpthat phone is Qt E based
03:54.39markrun qtopia?
03:54.55warmi_it looks like Trolls are getting all their business in Asian markets
03:55.00warmi_I wonder why
03:55.50warmi_and then there is that secret thing Kergoth/neo are working on ..
03:55.57warmi_any news about that one ?
03:56.03marki got a job offer from TI actually
03:56.11markwell not anoffer
03:56.13ljp:)
03:56.16marka "would you be interested"
03:56.31ljpand were you interested?
03:56.36warmi_yeah, I should have applied to them - it was a perfect opportunity for Qt related job but I was too lazy ... too comfortable in my current posiiton :-)
03:57.14markljp, i have university to go to :P
03:57.16markso no
03:57.31warmi_yeah, jobs come and go but - good thinking mark
03:58.02warmi_ljp: in AU ?
03:58.13ljp*cough* TI is stealing a Qtopia developer
03:58.24warmi_hehe
03:58.42warmi_TI is going to end up employing half of #Zaurus
03:58.43warmi_heh
03:59.01ljpperhaps.. :)
03:59.02markwarmi_, hehe
03:59.51warmi_it is a bit risky though ... purely project based - if something goes wrong entire team will most likely end up on the street
04:00.08warmi_unless of course TI is basing their entire line of products on Qtopia/Linux technology
04:00.21markwarmi_, mine was for their educational department
04:00.37warmi_that's where Kergoth and Neo are working
04:00.57warmi_from what I know they are working on some sort of educational PDA like device running Linux/Qtopia combo
04:01.04markah okay didnt know that
04:02.17treke|hometimriker pasted a link to it
04:02.24mark"
04:02.24markI work with Educational & Productivity Solutions, a business unit of Texas
04:02.24markInstruments (TX). We are currently searching for Qt Developers for the Linux
04:02.24markteam.  This position deals with devices/products for the classroom"
04:02.29markwoops sorry for the flood
04:03.23treke|homejust think, you too could live in texas
04:03.30warmi_frankly, considering how little NeoWork talks on this channel these days , they keep him quite busy up there
04:03.36warmi_:-)
04:03.48treke|homeI wish they wouldnt have hired him until after snails
04:03.56warmi_treke: why didn't you try for it ?
04:03.58markhe still doing xengames?
04:04.02warmi_treke: he never finished that port ?
04:04.15treke|homewarmi_: I'm happy working where I do
04:04.45warmi_same here .. I would prefer working on stuff like Qt than Java I am doing now but hey .... my job is relatively safe at this point and pays pretty well
04:05.12treke|homealso the coworkers
04:05.33ljps/surl/surf
04:05.36warmi_well, that's another problem .... it takes a while to get used to the new enviroment , new people etc ...
04:05.52treke|homeyeah, I work with some great people right now
04:06.51warmi_yeah, we are so fucking diversified over here ... Jesse Jackson would be proud ... two black guys, an Indian,guy from Taiwan and me which is white  naturalized American
04:07.03treke|homehmmm
04:07.07treke|homeI think we have a chinese guy
04:07.15treke|homeand then four white guys
04:07.24warmi_it is alot of fun .. checking out ethnic restaurants etc ...
04:07.40warmi_arguing with Chinesse guy about merits of China's claim to Taiwan etc ..
04:08.09warmi_you think you have a chinesse guy ? I mean these guys tend to be rather easily recognizable :-)
04:08.17markhehe
04:08.19absentiare
04:08.45absentiachine has no claim to taiwan
04:08.59warmi_yeah, well you talk to them :-)
04:09.18absentiawhy does everyone want to rule the world?
04:09.26ljpbecause its fun
04:09.33absentiathe sooner we all realize that we're all related... and there's only one earth... the better.
04:09.40warmi_at the end of the day, the merits of claim are defined by the size of your guns - it always been that way
04:09.42absentianationality is no longer required.

04:14.14absentiaor, secret agent man... theme song:  a pretty face can hide an evil mind.
04:14.20absentiaI'd second that.
04:14.24warmi_absentia: you are not in a very , shall we say , Xmass mood today are you ?
04:14.25warmi_heh
04:14.39absentiathis is normal me.
04:14.47absentiathe world has too much stupidity... it pisses me off.
04:15.11chouimatabsentia: stupidity is what created religions in first place
04:15.27warmi_well, this is again your definition of stupidity  ...
04:15.30absentiaand what propagates it
04:15.33absentianow I hear dean for jesus
04:15.35absentiaetc
04:15.39warmi_hehehe
04:16.13absentiahell, I'm stupid about many things... but what I'm talking about here is a conscious acknowledgement by someone not to give a damn about things that they should...
04:16.18absentiayou don't have to nkow everything about everything
04:16.22chouimatabsentia: I'm pleased that here in Canada we made the distinction between GOD and GOV
04:16.32absentiabut you should lknow more than just what it takes to prevent your skull from being crused by the approaching bus.
04:16.45absentiach: and that distinction is ?
04:16.58warmi_you are being hostile to religion ... don'
04:17.03absentiaone shouldn't exist and the other doesn't?
04:17.10chouimatabsentia: god as no place in gov
04:17.21absentiach: WOW!
04:17.21warmi_don't forget - for some people it is just another version of psychological therapy , a pain-killer of sorts
04:17.28absentiacanada is run by athiests?!
04:17.30absentiaI didn't know that.
04:17.35chouimatwarmi_: I know
04:17.48absentiaearm: yes, I agree with that.
04:17.51chouimatabsentia: not exactly ... but god is not the premise for our laws
04:17.58absentiapeople want answers
04:18.04absentiareligion claims to provide these
04:18.10absentiapeople are subdued, etc.
04:18.24*** join/#zaurus catskul (~somervil@c-24-3-197-163.client.comcast.net)
04:18.43chouimatabsentia: the problems is with some "religion" the questions must be a very dumb one
04:18.50warmi_it is no better or worse answer than anything else .. as long as it is all in our heads who cares how we get thru the day
04:18.54absentiapeople in the US are starting to fall back on "the founding fathers made god part of the basis for our country and government" .. uh, ok... so maybe times have changed?
04:19.21absentiawarm: ya, but some people's god's are telling them to kill anyone who doesn't believe in this god.

04:19.57absentiahanserv an kiss my ass
04:20.05absentiawarm: agreed.
04:20.22absentiathe thing that bugs me about 99% of all muslims is that every other word is "allah"
04:20.28chouimatljp: horny?
04:21.01ljpwell, lets just say the women here like to wear hip hugger shorts and show their bellies off
04:21.08warmi_altought I do think that Islam is indeed stuck in 7th century and while other religions managed to get with the times they are still trying to get their medieval society going in the same way they it back when mohammed was around
04:21.18absentiaremember
04:21.24absentiathe dark ages were caused by muslims.
04:21.26chouimatljp: I'm drooling
04:21.32absentianothing of value has come from that religion in over 1500 years.

04:23.05absentiacat ?
04:23.13treke|homebesides everyone knows all modern advances were driven by war and porn
04:23.32warmi_treke: war and sex .. porn is for people who can't get sex any other way
04:23.49chouimatspeaking of that ... I need to find some iraqi war porn
04:23.49treke|homeGood point, that's the internet's driving force

04:24.02catskulislam started in the 7th century
04:24.51absentiacat: we're not talking binary here
04:24.59absentiawhat I'm trying to say is...
04:25.00absentiawhy don't some people eat portk?
04:25.06absentiajewish/muslim ?
04:25.19warmi_catskul: yeah, if think that Christianity began 7 centuries before Islam then Islam is at the point where Christinity was in 1300s
04:25.20absentiado you ever find a chinese/japanese/asian that doesn't eat port for the same reason?
04:25.45ljpI dont eat prok
04:25.48ljppork
04:25.49warmi_absentia: yeah and so do Jews
04:25.49absentiawhyt not ?
04:26.00absentiaso do jews what ?
04:26.06warmi_don't eat pork
04:26.07catskulabsentia: way back when people died from eating pork
04:26.07ljpbut then again, I dont eat cows or chickens, either
04:26.09absentiawhy not?
04:26.15absentiacat: EXACTLY
04:26.17catskulso it became a health readson
04:26.21catskulreason
04:26.21absentiawhat may have made sense 2000 years ago
04:26.25absentiadoesn't make sense today
04:26.30absentiacat: I know, I know.
04:26.33absentiawhat I'm saying is....
04:26.38catskulreligeons adapt slowly
04:26.42ljpyou can still die today from under cooked prok
04:26.43absentiapeople aren't thinking for themselves.
04:26.46ljpgrr, pork
04:27.03absentialjp: really? show me one news article about someone dying from it
04:27.13warmi_ljp: there is nothing wrong with pork man ...  in fact there are lot of good things about it
04:27.14warmi_heh
04:27.21ljpyou can die from undercooked beef too
04:27.28catskulits like evolution... harmfull mutations are eliminated, but benign ones linger for a while even after they are usless
04:27.38absentiayou can get cvjd (bse) from beef
04:27.39chouimatljp: more people will die of syphilis than pork
04:27.40warmi_well, you can die from badly prepared/eaten vegetable as well
04:27.42absentiayou can die from chicken/eggs
04:27.49absentiapeople drop dead from oysters...
04:27.56absentiapeople are deathly allergic to peanuts.
04:28.09absentiaoh, and veggies, etc.
04:28.20absentiaso, lets make a religion where we can't eat all those things!
04:28.20absentiaw00t
04:28.25absentiayou can die from clay
04:28.37absentiahell, you can die from living.
04:28.41absentiain fact, I think it's prereq
04:28.52absentiaso
04:28.54absentiathat begs the question
04:29.01absentiaif you're so f'n worried 'bout dying
04:29.03warmi_absentia: yeah, but you are missing the point ... people are free to associate in any manner they like as long as they don't enforce their own rules on you .. no need to be hostile to religion
04:29.05absentiawhat are you worried FOR?
04:29.09catskuldoes anyone have a c760... im really going nuts trying to get this thing to work
04:29.11absentiawhat is it you want to live FOR?

04:30.12absentiacat: well, we need a critical thinking meme
04:30.22absentiathat's more powerful than wishful fantasy thinking
04:30.32absentiapeople get UPSET when yo ustart to question their beliefs.
04:30.33absentiaSTUPID!
04:30.37chouimatok time to get a nice shower
04:30.41catskulabsentia: have you gotten usb networking working on OpenZaurus and c760 ?
04:30.48absentiano
04:31.17absentiathe words "openzaurus" and "working" usually have the word "not" involved somewhere
04:31.19absentiain the mix
04:31.33treke|homefeel free to fix it
04:31.44catskula critiacal thinking meme will probably develop if it allows some certain population to outsurvive another
04:31.44catskulIm trying
04:32.35catskulthe critical thinking meme probably has not devloped thus far because critical thinking is less usfull than tradition in learning survival related behaviors, unless you have alot of science to back itup
04:32.44catskulfor example the pork thing
04:33.01catskulif people then thought critically about " how can pork hurt me "
04:33.10catskulthey probably would not have figured it out
04:33.15catskuland ate pork anyways
04:33.34catskuland so religeon was a more powerful meme as a survival tool
04:34.02catskulthe absence of pork eating is not particularly usefull now, but nor is it harmfull
04:34.14catskulbut perhaps abstinance is the new pork
04:34.25catskulallowing religeous people to avoid STD's

05:51.38catskulanyone have the original sharp rom for the c760 ?
05:51.38chuckrtreke, when you're using configure, and you're on a x86 but want to build for a arm-linux (and you have a gcc which will do that) then my question regards the meanings of the words target and host
05:51.54chuckrtarget would mean the arch you want to produce binaries for right?
05:52.13chuckrand host is the arch you're actually building on, right?
05:52.16ljpyes
05:53.08chuckrI'm in glib and it's uring me to set --host for a cross compile, which seems wrong, and it's insisting that binaries must run unless I define --host, not --target (which I would think would be more right)
05:53.35chuckr(I have configure)
05:53.42chuckr(I hate configure)
05:53.55chuckrgod what a differenc in one little letter
05:54.37chuckranyhow, is this a bug in the glib configure, do I set --host, not target?
05:56.29ljpset target, not host
05:57.20ljpset build=
05:57.33ljp--build
05:59.57chuckrumm --build?  I konw target and host, but not build, what does that one mean?
06:02.22chuckrI have got screwed up gcc, because I have the arm gcc installed in /usr/local, but the regular gcc is in /usr/bin, so gcc's normal switches can't handle that (I have chosen it by path).  I thin kI'm going to handle that by building 3.3.2 and installing it in  /usr/local, so that it's path is like the arm one, so gcc can find both via the command line switches

22:00.54does gaim have a built in rot13 thing, or are you using rot13.com?
22:01.10sheenmasterI'm using the rot13 command from bsdgames.
22:02.15sheenmasterA group that I'm in will have a zaurus port in a few days.  We're building a full-fledged distro compiled toward all supported targets, including arm-linux.
22:02.55George-sheenmaster: of what?
22:03.21sheenmasterOf everything.
22:03.35sheenmasterWe're building a whole distro around a portable packaging system.
22:03.46sheenmasterEVERY package is loaded for EVERY target platform with very few exceptions.
22:03.58sheenmasterIt's not like Debian/ARM where things are scaled down.
22:04.11weezfor newer debian packages, I cant just tar and unzip them.  What needs to be done to bust them open?
22:04.14sheenmasterAdd a large NFS mount and you can cross compile to my E3500 from your zaurus.
22:04.53sheenmaster(I suspect it won't match mine's GCC compile time of two minutes, but you're welcome to try.)
22:18.56weeznevermind.. needs ar to get them out

23:02.09*** join/#zaurus Cam______ (~chatzilla@userca029.dsl.pipex.com)
23:03.53Cam______I'm thinking of getting an 860 - any comments on the device?
23:04.23Cam______how would you rate the build quality of it?
23:04.55absentiabuilt quality?
23:04.59absentiaI've dropped mine many times
23:05.01absentiano damage
23:05.09absentiaIt feels sturdy
23:05.12absentiacompared to the 5500/5600
23:05.13Cam______have you got a case for it?
23:05.17absentiano
23:05.38Cam______if only they had builtin wireless...
23:05.54absentiaya
23:06.05absentiathat's the only thing... if it had built in wireless, so I could get a larger cf
23:06.10absentiabut it's still everything I need
23:07.30Cam______I'm not a demanding PDA user to be honest - so getting it more as a geek toy... but it would be nice to be able to see one in real life before parting with 100s of ukp to some unknown company in the far east ;-)
23:08.21absentiatrue
23:08.27absentiaI bought a 700
23:08.29absentiathen got a 760
23:08.32absentiabecause I needed the 64mb ram
23:08.36absentianow I also have a 5600
23:08.46absentiaand I can say I definitely recommend the 7x0 model...
23:08.52absentiaeven over the 6000 with built in wifi, etc.
23:08.57sheenmaster!?
23:09.07sheenmasterabsentia: seriously?
23:09.11absentiaseriously what ?
23:09.21Cam______I wondered with the 6000, will there be a 7x0 type model soon with builtin wifi... I mean it's got to be just a matter of time
23:09.24sheenmasterover 6000
23:09.28absentiayes
23:09.33absentiaI can't stand the keyboard on the 5600
23:09.38absentiaand it gets HOT
23:09.39absentiahot hot hot
23:09.48sheenmasterI'll trade.
23:09.49absentiaand the screen needs a cover... or a screen
23:09.51absentia700 flips.
23:10.04Cam______I really don't like the tablet style Zauruses - I've got a 5000D
23:10.04absentiacam: ya, I figure.
23:10.09absentiayup
23:10.15absentiathe 7x0 is *much* better
23:10.22absentiaI'd recommend the 860 to EVERYONE who is interested.
23:10.37Cam______does it get warm? the 7x0/860 models?
23:10.42absentianot really.
23:10.47absentianot compared to the 5600
23:10.53absentia5600 is WARM/HOT to the touch
23:10.58absentia700 just isn't "cold"
23:11.02absentiaI can't tell if it's warmer or not
23:11.13absentiaI mean, there feels like 0 heat
23:11.18absentiathe 5600 power supply is 5v 2a
23:11.24absentia700/760 is 5v 1a
23:11.30Cam______that's good. a sign of good power management
23:12.04Cam______I hear the screen is not so good in bright light
23:12.11absentiacorrent
23:12.16absentiaI haven't tried my 5600 in sunlight
23:12.20absentiabut it's dum... compared to the 7x0
23:12.27absentiaand the 7x0 is almost impossible to see in sunlight
23:12.33absentiabut inside, it's the brightest thing around.
23:12.51Cam______Well the Japanese have high levels of ambient light so I'm hoping it is designed to cope
23:13.43Cam______in the UK I'm not too worried about bright daylight (well not for most of the months of the year :)
23:14.25W8TVIdoes it snow in england?
23:14.26absentiaha
23:14.39absentiawhen I went to london, it was sunny and blue... for about a week
23:14.48Cam______It snows most years in the UK, but not heavily and not usually on christmas day
23:15.02absentiaI have a pic of the big-ben clock.. with the sun directly behind it... I use to put a caption "what's wrong with this picture"
23:15.07absentiaor "recognize this" ?
23:15.18Cam______:)
23:15.35Cam______where I live in the midlands the climate tends to be relatively mild
23:15.48Cam______some coastal areas seem to get worse weather
23:17.08Cam______we get occasional floods - but they are more a diversion than a danger
