<apelete>
didn't knew about that event, thanks for the link
<larsc>
last day today
<apelete>
nice. got back from Paris yesterday, got a couple of holidays left before going back to work
<DocScrutinizer05>
hmm, is there a multiplexer design that does A<->Out for Control=1, B<->Out for Control=0, but A<->Out<->B for Control=highZ ?
<apelete>
larsc: didn't have time to work on the nanonote during the week :-(, did a lot of work on the family servers instead :-)
<apelete>
I hope to get back at it this week
<larsc>
I didn't even pack my nanonote
<apelete>
ha ha :)
<larsc>
but somebody gave me one of werners wpan modules
<larsc>
here at the congress
<apelete>
nice
* DocScrutinizer05
ponders a nifty combination of MOSFETs
<wpwrak_>
larsc: only one ? will be hard to find something to talk to then
<larsc>
wpwrak_: yea, a friend said he'll send me a usb dongle
<wpwrak_>
DocScrutinizer05: use two control lines ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
too obvious
<apelete>
larsc pcercuei: I bought a gcw-zero from qbertaddict on #gcw, things should get even more interesting (and busy) soon
<DocScrutinizer05>
some " 1 1: Not Defined, do not use!" will not suffice ;-)
<wpwrak_>
btw, i threw the reverse-voltage protection FET out of anelok. not only did it produce that mystery resitance to GND but i also realized that it could make low battery situations worse by throttling the battery
<DocScrutinizer05>
reverse voltage protection is always a pain. Only feasible concept: fuse plus clamp diode
<wpwrak_>
one positive feedback loop into disaster less :)
<wpwrak_>
well, cr2032 can do it mechanically if the + contact is on the side and not on top
<DocScrutinizer05>
sure
<DocScrutinizer05>
already wondered what for you need that
<DocScrutinizer05>
btw for a CR2032 you don't even need a fuse
<wpwrak_>
the only risk would then be that the circuit may not like VBAT to be shorted to GND, which is something you could still sneak past a mechanical barrier, at least for a short moment
<DocScrutinizer05>
Z is high enough already
<wpwrak_>
yeah, Z kinda sucks :)
<apelete>
<larsc> the MIPS patches will be merged, I know the person who takes care about this
<apelete>
I guess you're talking about Ralf Baechle, do you know how he manages his tree ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
I guess a CR2032 must have several dozen Ohms ESR
<apelete>
larsc: I mean, do you think the patches will be merged for 3.13 or 3.14 instead ?
<apelete>
3.13 is already at rc6, and 3.14 merge window will open in mid-january it seems
<larsc>
apelete: ralf is afk for a while, but blogic is taking care of the MIPS tree at the moment
<larsc>
blogic asked me if it is ok to merge the patches for 3.14 so I assume they'll be merged
<wpwrak_>
yet another electrical substation went up in flames. since nobody could be bothers to turn off the electricity, the firefighters have been waiting for some 1.5 hours without doing anything.
<wpwrak_>
that's .. hmm, within walking distance from my place.let's see if i can see the smoke
<viric>
I remember here when snow made some mid-tension cables fall
<viric>
electric fire on snow for hours
<viric>
And I guess that earth potential difference between your legs could kill you, if you weren't careful
<wpwrak_>
nothing to see
<viric>
"nada que ver"? :)
<wpwrak_>
heh :)
<wpwrak_>
i was looking for the smoke column. but maybe they extinguished it since. that video is from one hour ago.
<wpwrak_>
ah yes, in the second video, 30' later, the smoke is already almost gone

I'm thinking about buying a Nanonote from Pulster, but I have a few questions before I take the leap. First, are there any firmwares on the Nanonote that aren't free software yet (wheter it be NAND firmware or EC firmware)? Second, as I understand it the Nanonote doesn't come with a wireless card. What would be a "good enough" wireless card I could buy for the Nanonote that runs with a free firmware?
<habs>
Third, how active is the Nanonote community today? Thanks.
<ysionneau>
wpwrak_ is often doing some nice hacks with the SDIO port
<whitequark>
habs: I don't think there is any non-free firmware on Nanonote at all
<ysionneau>
and larsc apelete and maybe others are maintaining/improving/bugfixing the nanonote kernel
<whitequark>
or actually any firmware except the code running on CPU
<wpwrak_>
(fw) well, the cpu has a boot rom that's closed ...
