01:01.59Capn_FishHello?
01:02.26punkassHI!
01:03.44Capn_FishThis place is pretty deserted
01:04.24punkassno it isnt
01:04.55punkassyou just have to say something other than "hi"
01:04.56Capn_FishAhh...
01:05.09punkassits not a generally chatty channel, you need to bring up an issue related to the zaurus that interests someone here
01:05.35Capn_FishThanks. I thoght that it was just empty
01:05.55Capn_FishWhat Z/ROM do you have?
01:06.48punkasssl-5500, rom i made myself
01:07.03Capn_Fishsweet. Sharp-based?
01:07.15punkassdebian-arm based
01:07.23Capn_FishNice.
01:07.49Capn_FishYou can use all of the Debian-ARM packages then?
01:08.08punkassive had good luck with it so far
01:08.33punkassi dont use X or any GUI though
01:09.05Capn_FishX is slow I take it?
01:09.15punkassi just dont need it on a pda
01:09.37Capn_FishI like running "desktop" apps on my Z.
01:10.24Capn_FishWhat do you mostly use your Z for? Work?
01:10.53Capn_FishI personally like to code on the go.
01:12.04Capn_FishAh, well. I have to go. cya.
01:12.29punkassi just do what i would normally do on a computer, but away from home
01:21.50ds2any replaced the OPIE/QT/X with just a VNC client like directvnc?
01:31.32punkassill have to give directvnc a try
01:31.45punkassthat fbvnc made for the Z was popular for a while, never used it though
01:32.09ds2thought directvnc is the decendant of fbvnc?

19:54.23gamer_sRegarding using a USB audio input output device, can I use just anyone of them?
20:25.30frostschutzwhy usb
20:26.06gamer_sBecause the Zaurus C1000 doesn't have a built-in microphone or microphone port.
20:26.27frostschutzbut it does
20:26.27gamer_s!?
20:26.29gamer_swhere?
20:26.30frostschutzthe speaker port is also a microphone port
20:26.30frostschutzyou can use a mono headset with it
20:26.30gamer_sReally!?
20:26.32gamer_swell that's clever
20:26.32gamer_sThanks for the info!
20:26.40frostschutznot sure which headset model actually work with it though...
20:26.59gamer_sOne ore thing, how do you install an ipkg type program through the console?
20:27.32frostschutzthe command is ipkg, I dunno the exact options right now
20:27.40gamer_sah ok
20:27.51frostschutzipkg install file.ipkg or ipkg -I file.ipkg or something like that
20:28.02frostschutzthere should be docs or a man page for it around somewhere
20:29.13gamer_sI'm trying to get GAIM installed. All of the files installed successfully except for the last one, the actual primary program file.
20:29.45*** join/#zaurus ty-guest (n=ty-guest@66-169-56-208.dhcp.gnvl.sc.charter.com)
20:29.55frostschutzI don't use gaim so I can't help you there, sorry
20:30.14gamer_sOh well, thought I'd ask.
20:30.57gamer_sAside from voice recording, do you know of anything else the microphone can be used for with the Zaurus?
20:31.15frostschutzuh
20:31.28frostschutzyou can record anything you want with it ... can't vouch for the quality though
20:31.37frostschutzthere is a semi official zaurus mic but it's not very good
20:31.55frostschutzand it's extremely expensive, but you can use any other mic
20:32.44frostschutzthe problem is the headset, you need to find one that has a stereo connector but actually uses one channel for the mic and the other for the speakers... and the correct ones at that...
20:33.21frostschutzI've read in the forums about ppl who've done this but I haven't actually a clue which model of headset they were using, or what software to go with it
20:35.52frostschutzgamer_s: http://www.pulster.de/index.htm?d__zmicro__Microphon_fuer_Zaurus692.htm this is the zaurus mic in a local shop ...
