Seems like all the FPGA stuff can be maid on non-linear waves.
<ym>
I wonder what would be the geometry of copper wire coil able to accommodate a couple of millions of ordered solitons.
<ym>
s/maid/made/
<rqou>
ok, for future hacker cons i definitely need to start making a checklist of what to pack
<rqou>
including stuff that classically everybody forgets
<rqou>
like usb-db9 adapters and jtag adapters

Hi
<rqou>
hi f003brv
<f003brv>
I've been reading and learning.
<rqou>
you're unlikely to get good replies during hacker summer camp :P
<f003brv>
Ah I see
<f003brv>
What is hacker summer camp lol?
<rqou>
BSidesLV/BlackHat+DefCon
<f003brv>
Oh yeah defcon
<f003brv>
I'm on the East Coast now so the West Coast life slips my mind at times
<f003brv>
Anyway, I wanted to let you guys know that I'm still interested in the tasks. I don't have access to my Windows comp atm
<f003brv>
so I haven't gotten to the FPGA stuff yet and I'm not sure if the Webpack ISE works on Mac or not
<rqou>
it does not
<rqou>
f003brv: if you don't need iMPACT (the programmer tool) to be able to actually talk to hardware, i recommend installing the linux version under xhyve
<f003brv>
All good. I'm just learning and having fun. Are there openfpga tools for Spartan 6 that work on Mac?
<f003brv>
I don't need the programmer for the papilio
<f003brv>
it's just a mini usb since there is an ftdi chip
<rqou>
lol nobody tests macos here
<f003brv>
ah I see
<rqou>
e.g. see logs from earlier :P
<f003brv>
well linux is fine too. I'll have access to both Linux and Windows next week
<rqou>
we mostly treat it as a *nix
<f003brv>
word
<rqou>
that being said we do accept patches fixing mac
<f003brv>
Nice
<f003brv>
well yeah I mostly wanted to give a status update
<f003brv>
I don't want you guys thinking I disappeared lol

rqou: so in the latest episode of "crazy things happening near seattle"
<azonenberg_work>
Some guy hijacked/stole an empty airliner at SEA
<azonenberg_work>
Took it for a joyride then plowed into the ground during either a failed landing attempt, stunt gone wrong, or deliberate suicide
<azonenberg_work>
I was out on an off-duty hike with a few SAR folks and one of us got a phone call "hey, a plane just crashed near here"
<azonenberg_work>
we were all expecting to get called out to search for survivors/remains/plane parts but it sounds like the local authorities have it covered

whitequark/Glasgow#20 (master - 66aa942 : whitequark): The build passed.
<rqou>
azonenberg_work: oh yeah i heard about that
<rqou>
anyways, if you don't feel like doing defcon from home, do you want to help me investigate the possibility of making a "malicious" sympetrum badge?
<rqou>
zomgwat
<rqou>
the sympetrum v3 badge is a 6 layer board
<rqou>
how?!
<rqou>
ugh, it's 5 signal layers, 1 power layer
<rqou>
heh, i really like how the sympetrum badge looks, but engineering-wise it seems like quite a hack
<rqou>
i suppose that's just called badgelife? :P
<rqou>
oh and apparently the v3 and v2 badges aren't compatible
