2011-02-19 02:24 wpwrak I assume tuxbrain  tuxbrain_away is asleeo. do you know ih he has pulled triger and made firm UBB order? 2011-02-19 05:40 Hello all, I have a USB drive that when inserted causes a bad_pool_header error. I am running xp, sp3. Is there a way to reformat the USB drive in safe mode or some other way to recover usefulness from the drive again? 2011-02-19 05:41 wrong channel 2011-02-19 09:55 [commit] kyak: MPlayer: add missing dependencies http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/8598739 2011-02-19 10:25 dvdk: "BTW that happens automatically if mplayer lists them under DEPENDS." - http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/8598739 2011-02-19 10:25 dvdk: though building the kernel might not be a good example, it IS working :) 2011-02-19 10:26 when an application has no external libraries dependencies - it would build. 2011-02-19 10:28 what's include directory is doing there? well, just examine the output of gcc -v in your system and see the paths search order 2011-02-19 10:28 kyak: I found out CartesianCardinalZap fails.. 2011-02-19 10:28 :P 2011-02-19 10:29 it's the fault of the ben's lua build though 2011-02-19 10:29 blaming it on others is a very important part of my job 2011-02-19 10:29 ;) 2011-02-19 10:30 bartbes: yeah, i know.. wanted to mention it to you :) 2011-02-19 10:30 actually, the thing is, lua uses double as number type by default 2011-02-19 10:30 ben's lua is patched (and rightfully so) to also have integers (int32, specifically) 2011-02-19 10:30 bartbes: another thing - when i try to "nlove-run non-existant-game", it still creates the non-existant-game.love file 2011-02-19 10:31 so because setColor is defined to use integers it doesn't accept doubles anymore 2011-02-19 10:31 then i run it for the second time, it would show error screen 2011-02-19 10:31 kyak: with a 404 html page in it, by coincidence? :P 2011-02-19 10:31 i think so :) 2011-02-19 10:31 I should check the return code of wget 2011-02-19 10:32 something to do when I add a list (and preferably updating) 2011-02-19 10:32 good! 2011-02-19 10:33 hopefully I'll have some time later today 2011-02-19 10:35 bartbes: btw, that fly-and-shoot game is awfully noisy. Can it be adjusted? 2011-02-19 10:35 yeah I was wondering the same thing.. 2011-02-19 10:35 is it respecting alsamixer? 2011-02-19 10:36 it should, it's using alsa for output 2011-02-19 10:36 but then again, alsamixer has never done anything for me 2011-02-19 10:36 or well, I could mute, but that's all 2011-02-19 10:40 yeah, alsamixer seems a little strange to me, too. Only has three vloume levels 2011-02-19 10:40 i wonder how gmu is doing that 2011-02-19 10:47 I think it just sets its output volume manually 2011-02-19 10:47 its own output volume, that is 2011-02-19 10:51 kyak: morning. 2011-02-19 10:51 kyak: you're quick.  already had a patch for the Mplayer Makefile, but couldn't commit (merge conflict :) 2011-02-19 10:52 kyak: btw mplayer package name uses uppercase letters.  have to do 'feeds install MPlayer'.  is that normal? 2011-02-19 10:52 it's intentional, cause it's name is MPlayer 2011-02-19 10:52 kyak: hmm, debian package names for example are all lowercased. 2011-02-19 10:53 same lowercase naming for most of the other .ipks!? 2011-02-19 10:53 also directory name != package name is a little starteling at first 2011-02-19 10:54 btw: looks like we have full libc headers with gcc-mips 2011-02-19 10:54 just in the wrong directory. 2011-02-19 10:54 (but found and usable by gcc) 2011-02-19 10:54 maybe cmake/autoconf might not like that, but otherwise that's fine 2011-02-19 10:55 well, feel free to try it and report where it is causing problems :) 2011-02-19 11:01 at least you should've tried building a hello world program before saying that is it not fully working 2011-02-19 11:02 wow playing with the new image and it feels like improvements in every corner - nice! 2011-02-19 11:02 another person is complaining about missing libopcodes.so in previous image. Well, it least he found my bug report 2011-02-19 11:03 and knowing that we didn't achieve this with ugly hacks that will collapse after a few months is even better :-) 2011-02-19 11:06 wolfspraul: why are you so sure :) 2011-02-19 11:08 kyak: sorry about that (not trying gcc).  shouldn't write emails in a hurry. 2011-02-19 11:09 wolfspraul: not quite. for example, this bug https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8603 has a proposed path attached. But it hasn't got into openwrt feeds. So we use this hack: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-packages/source/commit/5282f819237de47c92c67fa2759e9144d428b90a/ 2011-02-19 11:12 dvdk: it's ok! hard to keep an eye on the rapidly growing number of packages :) 2011-02-19 11:15 ok, going off to be more productive :)  cu 2011-02-19 13:01 kyak: (dvdk in absence) I knew you guys would point me to ugly hacks :-) 2011-02-19 13:02 but that's exactly why I feel good on that end, our priorities are correct 2011-02-19 13:02 we will find cleaner solutions for those (temporary) hacks, for sure 2011-02-19 14:45 rjeffries: yes, i think he has sent the order. didn't he mention it here ? 2011-02-19 14:51 hmm, does anyone know some non-interactive Gerber editor ? i have a couple of lines in a footprint that i'd really love to get rid of, without changing the footprint 2011-02-19 14:51 (of course, sed would be an option ...) 2011-02-19 15:04 or a little perl script. hmm ... 2011-02-19 15:08 wpwrak David sent me email. irc logs are great. I wish there was a toll to search acroos ,ultiple lohs, e.g. most recent N days. 2011-02-19 15:08 wpwral said sed ,ight be a solution, That's eaht he sed 2011-02-19 15:10 rjeffries: i thought the search did span days ? 2011-02-19 15:10 (sed) :) 2011-02-19 15:15 if one is in a Ben application, is there a key to exit and retuen to launcher? 2011-02-19 15:15 I am in GMU do not know how to exit 2011-02-19 15:16 well powering off then on works 2011-02-19 15:19 rjeffries: alt + enter (exit gmu) 2011-02-19 15:19 rjeffries: you should read this http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Applications 2011-02-19 15:21 kristianpaul okgounf that ESC escapes thedgclock 2011-02-19 15:24 okgounf? 2011-02-19 15:24 found ;) 2011-02-19 15:25 now in settings do not know how to escape\ 2011-02-19 15:25 it's all good I am sure 2011-02-19 15:25 Ben is like dungeons and dragons game: you are in a cave with many twisty passags 2011-02-19 15:26 hehe 2011-02-19 15:27 rjeffries: let's say that the user experience could often take some inspirations from apple ;-) 2011-02-19 15:27 power button is my friend 2011-02-19 15:28 one hidden benefit of having suffered through the windows experience may be under-exaggerated expectations :) 2011-02-19 15:29 I am glad I have a good shop. O need to take a few sips of whisky, and go to grunder and grind down a finger for the cute litt;e Ben keyboard. I hope it is blood-resistant 2011-02-19 15:31 wpwrak I sent email to UBB factory in Spain and told hime I'll order a 10-pack. Maybe I'll become hos USA distibutor, I dunno 2011-02-19 15:35 rjeffries: I guess that there is some way to exit from applications and coming back to menu 2011-02-19 15:37 am in main GMU screen, would like to get to a shell, not clear how to do that 2011-02-19 15:37 rjeffries: (grind down a finger) yeah, the keyboard could use some improving. layout and maybe also on the haptic side. i hope we'll get a chance to do that. 2011-02-19 15:38 rjeffries: (ubb factory) you mean you asked the spanish pcb fab to produce 10 units for you ? or do you mean you ordered ten from tuxbrain-the-company ? 2011-02-19 15:38 wpwrak if there is ever a follow-on to Ben, my opinion is a new larger case will be essential 2011-02-19 15:39 Tuxbrain I was trying to be funny, Davod now controls global UBB market 2011-02-19 15:40 wpwrak even I am not dumb enough to order PCBs from a fab in Europe\ 2011-02-19 15:41 rjeffries: (order from EU) oh, it's not impossible that you'd find competitive prices there. just that specific kind of transaction (10 units from somebody else's order) would be, erm, a little unusual :) 2011-02-19 15:42 smiles sure 2011-02-19 15:42 next week or so maybe I learn what USA UBB might cost to mfg. 2011-02-19 15:43 rjeffries: (larger case) maybe 1 mm more thickness to accommodate a proper USB host receptacle. i really like the current form factor. anything bigger would have to compete in an entirely different class of devices and R&D costs would explode. 2011-02-19 15:44 you make a good point 2011-02-19 15:44 rjeffries: (us cost) that would be great. the more data points we have, the better we're prepared to conduct future pcb orders. 2011-02-19 15:44 I am aware that case is a big hurdle 2011-02-19 15:45 rjeffries: the main problem with the case at present is that we don't have an open process to make it 2011-02-19 15:45 I have a talented mechanical engineer friend who has done a number of plastic designs for production in China 2011-02-19 15:45 I understand totally 2011-02-19 15:46 My thought i sto take scan data you created, as inout into a fresh design, new molds 2011-02-19 15:46 rjeffries: all we can do is ask wolfgang to ask his business contacts in china to fab a bunch more, but we don't have the CAD data, we can't edit/modify it, and even if we could, changing the tooling would be expensive 2011-02-19 15:46 rjeffries: yup. that would be a good start 2011-02-19 15:46 I understand all those issues. honest 2011-02-19 15:47 rjeffries: if you look at my counterweight, that's basically how i designed it. started with the scan data for a first rough design, then optimized with trial and error 2011-02-19 15:47 I assume wolfspraul can have as many shells produced as he needs. or he may have 10K he already bought I dunno 2011-02-19 15:47 rjeffries: (understand all issues) okay, just didn't know if you had followed that part 2011-02-19 15:48 I understand the need to not go head to head with other products but... 2011-02-19 15:48 i think he just buys complete devices. so one shell per device. maybe they could sell him bare shells, though. 2011-02-19 15:48 but speaking ONLY for myself, and not having much time with Ben, it is like a Dancing Elephant 2011-02-19 15:49 it is amazing that it even exists. but it will never do the Tango 2011-02-19 15:49 i think there is still a lot we can do while staying close to the original ben design to make the device more useful 2011-02-19 15:49 wpwrak I do NOT disagree at all 2011-02-19 15:50 e.g., the screen should use more of the available space. that alone would make it quite a bit nicer, without needing a change in overall size 2011-02-19 15:50 but the human interface of Ben is so constrained, it can IN MY OPINION never generate high volume sales 2011-02-19 15:51 the keyboard could be simplified and its haptics improved, again without increasing the size 2011-02-19 15:51 wpwrak you would be stuck with an akwark keyboard. and weak pointing capabilities 2011-02-19 15:51 for an nice keyboard, look at the oqo 01/01+. it's very clean and simple, yet also very small 2011-02-19 15:52 wpwrak I agree 1000 percent and realize that Ben is what it is. no problemo 2011-02-19 15:52 oQo was so sweet. still availabe? 2011-02-19 15:53 on a mainly UNRELATED note 2011-02-19 15:53 ironically, the OQO has a *higher* key density than the ben ;-) 2011-02-19 15:54 a parallel effort might involve a Nanonote derivaative that leverages the electronic design, with tweaks and additions, 2011-02-19 15:54 rjeffries: wpwrak: so finally we go to the past in the future :) NN of 2020 should be like HP Jornada 728 (talking just about keyboard, touchscreen, and dimensions :) ) 2011-02-19 15:54 and is packaged in a new very simple case that is targeted at control applications. 2011-02-19 15:54 (oqo) i think the company went down. yuoi can probably still find them on ebay. dunno if the oqo 02 was any good. i have a 01 and a 01+. the batteries suck, of course, and one of the power supplies died, but the base unit is indestructible ;-) 2011-02-19 15:55 Jornado was another sweet machine as was one of the Japanese devices that was similar\ 2011-02-19 15:55 today one would use a touch screen 2011-02-19 15:55 zrafa: actually, my dream is the HP100LX ;-) a bit smaller than the jornada. clean and simple applications that put a lot of information on the screen. screen size was CGA. 2011-02-19 15:56 back to SONN (son of Nanonote) 2011-02-19 15:56 SONN(tm)  smiles 2011-02-19 15:56 zrafa: (HP100LX) i would steal the keyboard from the oqo, though. the hp keyboard was excellent, but also needs more space 2011-02-19 15:57 no keyboard (use yiou fav USB keybaordm even on eof those roll-up thingies 2011-02-19 15:57 wpwrak: ;-) 2011-02-19 15:57 wpwrak: I ask if hp100lx was sh3 arch 2011-02-19 15:57 I wonder* 2011-02-19 15:58 naw, i think a built-in keyboard is a good thing to have. that way, you can edit anywhere and all the time. not only when you have your gadget bag with you 2011-02-19 15:58 wpwrak: my hp 660lx is sh3 2011-02-19 15:58 is that same soc the Freerunner used?? 2011-02-19 15:58 zrafa: it was some 8088/8086. nec v20 or such. it ran DOS :) 2011-02-19 15:59 rjeffries: the Openmoko phones used Samsung S3C, ARM 2011-02-19 16:00 wpwrak: 8086 nice :) 2011-02-19 16:00 rjeffries: (japanese machines) maybe you mean the Sharp Zaurus 2011-02-19 16:00 zrafa: it even had a PCMCIA slot :) 2011-02-19 16:00 wpwrak did or did not we have a early Ben that Carlos team layed out that included USB host and 64MB ram?

(as xxxx:4740, it think) 2011-02-19 23:37 hmm, odd 2011-02-19 23:37 Tryed that several times. 2011-02-19 23:42 alright, then it's inescapably suckish hardware button time 2011-02-19 23:43 wpwrak: Shorting the pins is hard. 2011-02-19 23:50 wpwrak: heekspython added some nice example for parametric figures from rectangles to gears, you should look later, may be can help you for the at* cases 2011-02-19 23:51 ormris: yeah. that's something that has to change in the next nanonote design. it's a bit surprising that the issue comes up so often, but well, that's the way it is. 2011-02-19 23:51 wpwrak: btw do you use heekscnc to control your cnc? 2011-02-19 23:51 hey wolfspraul 2011-02-19 23:51 kristianpaul: i used heeks{cad,cnc,python} to make the counterweight 2011-02-19 23:51 kristianpaul: for PCBs, i have my own set of tools 2011-02-19 23:52 sure sure (PCB) 2011-02-19 23:52 But a parametric case could be an option... 2011-02-19 23:54 wolfspraul: http://kristianpaul.org/gallery/mm1%20case/ 15usd with shipping :D 2011-02-19 23:54 morning 2011-02-19 23:54 (case) yup. my tools are not really for 3D. another option could be OpenSCAD. that's even more script-oriented. 2011-02-19 23:56 I bet more for heekscad, at lest are people using it for CNC 2011-02-19 23:57 When you have a stable board version i'll try again a design, but this time parametric, i already saw the rectangle example and seems easy to modify
