wpwrak | that was brandy :) | 00:03 |
---|---|---|
wpwrak | it's indeed hard to find elsewhere. the amarula (a bit like baileys) has made it to argentina now, but i haven't seen any of the other stuff. | 00:04 |
DocScrutinizer | what's been the name? (and I honestly doubt it wasn't Rum) | 00:08 |
DocScrutinizer | I'm a brandy lover, I was sceptical about that stuff | 00:09 |
wpwrak | kilpdrift: http://www.klipdrift.co.za/home.q | 00:10 |
DocScrutinizer | klipdrift, right | 00:10 |
DocScrutinizer | klipdrift export, I know it like I would hold a bottle in my hand | 00:12 |
wpwrak | ;-)) | 00:13 |
wpwrak | and yes, i agree. that's the one i brought. i never noticed the more expensive ones. | 00:13 |
Action: DocScrutinizer sighs | 00:15 | |
Action: DocScrutinizer curses earth's immutable run around the daystar | 00:15 | |
wpwrak | want a change of direction ? | 00:17 |
Action: DocScrutinizer curses age and eyesight, searches for mag glass to read the writing he applied to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NT_cassette.jpg | 00:18 | |
Action: DocScrutinizer hopes for meteorite, diameter >500m | 00:20 | |
DocScrutinizer | though, 50m would suffice and not do so much harm to innocent contemporary humans | 00:21 |
wpwrak | do you have any specific target in mind ? | 00:22 |
DocScrutinizer | they deserve to continue suffering ;-P | 00:22 |
DocScrutinizer | well, I lured a lightning into neighbour house by firing a laser into the sky, some 6-9 months ago | 00:23 |
wpwrak | nice ! | 00:23 |
DocScrutinizer | I wonder what could attarct a meteorite | 00:24 |
wpwrak | next level: trick a nearby star of suitable size to go supernova | 00:24 |
DocScrutinizer | meh, silly moaning | 00:24 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, decrypted "nirvana - nevermind" and "killing joke - pnademonium" :-D | 00:26 |
wpwrak | just tar t ? | 00:27 |
DocScrutinizer | ?? | 00:28 |
DocScrutinizer | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NT_cassette.jpg | 00:28 |
DocScrutinizer | I did the writing in pencil, on grey plastic - evidently my eyesight been better some 10-20 years ago | 00:29 |
wpwrak | that's some sort of DAT, right ? | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer | right | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer | awesome idea | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer | mech overscan | 00:29 |
wpwrak | pencil is durable :) | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer | until you touch it, yes | 00:30 |
DocScrutinizer | anyway the problem is: it's TOO DAMN SMALL | 00:30 |
wpwrak | take a picture, load it into gimp, press + until you can read it | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer | back when I used a simple pencil with 0.2mm lead | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer | actually a nice idea. I already thought about such app, for realtime | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer | where the F* is my 4x loupe? | 00:34 |
DocScrutinizer | the 10x is crap | 00:35 |
wpwrak | quick, order some anti-aging pills :) | 00:36 |
DocScrutinizer | found "Fripp, Day After" | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer | (also found some bootlegs I recorded) | 00:43 |
DocScrutinizer | (and a bickering with a girlfriend that died 10 years ago) | 00:43 |
wpwrak | you keep recordings of fights with your girlfriends ? interesting :) | 00:48 |
DocScrutinizer | ne, yes | 00:52 |
DocScrutinizer | one* | 00:52 |
DocScrutinizer | this was an interesting girl | 00:53 |
DocScrutinizer | the sort you hope you never meet in your life | 00:53 |
DocScrutinizer | still you enjoy every minute | 00:53 |
wpwrak | sounds like the usual amount of contradictions :) | 00:55 |
DocScrutinizer | http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20120509_001.jpg http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20120509_002.jpg ;-D | 00:56 |
DocScrutinizer | occasionally I used the paper stickers | 00:58 |
wpwrak | perfectly readable :) | 00:59 |
DocScrutinizer | sure, on white paper, in macro setting of camera | 01:00 |
Action: DocScrutinizer hands wpwrak another longdrink | 01:02 | |
Action: DocScrutinizer pets N900 and wonders how this lil device made it to pole position of relevant topics in his life | 01:04 | |
DocScrutinizer | such a cute small gimmick :-) http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20120509_004.jpg | 01:15 |
wpwrak | (drink) thanks ! shouldn't have one on an empty stomach. but heck ... cheers ! | 01:16 |
wpwrak | indeed. prtty small. | 01:16 |
DocScrutinizer | and writing is easier to read on photos http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20120509_005.jpg | 01:17 |
DocScrutinizer | damn, something cropped it | 01:17 |
DocScrutinizer | hah, seems I'm celebrating 20th anniversary of scoopman | 01:24 |
DocScrutinizer | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NT_(cassette) | 01:26 |
DocScrutinizer | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fB_bY8yNeg&feature=related | 01:30 |
DocScrutinizer | the two extremes | 01:31 |
DocScrutinizer | a funny deatil: I heard Sony sold Scoopman NT-1 on dumping price, 50% of manufacturing costs. Just to show how awesome they can do | 01:34 |
DocScrutinizer | would explain why they never did huge advertising for the device | 01:35 |
DocScrutinizer | well, it's been really cheap anyway. Some 1800 DM | 01:36 |
DocScrutinizer | IIRC | 01:36 |
DocScrutinizer | http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoopman | 01:40 |
wpwrak | sounds pricey by today's standards | 01:41 |

qi-bot | [commit] Adam Wang: zener.lib: changed both pin name and pin number to A or C (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/kicad-libs/060e907 | 02:17 |
qi-bot | The build was successful: http://fidelio.qi-hardware.com/~xiangfu/build-nanonote/openwrt-xburst.minimal-20120507-2039 | 02:21 |
wpwrak | hmm, still haven't convinced you of choice 3) then. well, i suppose the package zoo eventually will :) | 02:31 |
DocScrutinizer | ?? | 02:46 |
wpwrak | hmmm ? | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer | 1 / oops / hmm, still haven't convinced you of choice 3) | 03:12 |
Action: DocScrutinizer shrugs and ponders to hear "Red" another time - one of the best albums of last 60 years | 03:13 | |
DocScrutinizer | though hardly everybody will love it | 03:14 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: your confusion may stem from not following the mailing list :) | 03:29 |
cladamw_ | wpwrak, tried to convince me of choice 3) ? | 03:38 |
wpwrak | err, sorry. choice 2 :) | 03:39 |
wpwrak | brr. lemme re-read that mail ... | 03:39 |
wpwrak | yeah, what i wrote in the mail makes sense :) | 03:40 |
cladamw_ | so choice 2 ? poor english again. :( | 03:41 |
cladamw_ | the ZENER i changed also influence D[14..17] in Power sheet. bad. | 03:42 |
wpwrak | for me, 2) is better than 4) is better than 1) is better than 3) | 03:42 |
wpwrak | i would keep the pin numbers in the schematics equal to the standard pin numbers of the package | 03:43 |
DocScrutinizer | hi Adam! | 03:43 |
cladamw_ | hi DocScrutinizer | 03:43 |
wpwrak | so if you have a SOT-323, pin 2 would always be at the same place | 03:43 |
wpwrak | and the schematics would say "2", not "C" or "A" | 03:44 |
cladamw_ | DocScrutinizer, wpwrak is the artist though to decorate in electronic/electrical field. :-O | 03:44 |
cladamw_ | wpwrak, so now: | 03:44 |
Action: DocScrutinizer idly wonders if there are .iso of CDs available in the inetrnets | 03:47 | |
cladamw_ | 1. if a SOT-323 shows, A-NC-C ==> we name it as 1-2-3 | 03:47 |
Action: DocScrutinizer hates mp3 | 03:47 | |
wpwrak | cladamw_: sounds good to me :) | 03:48 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: the better mp3 tend to be quite satisfying | 03:48 |
DocScrutinizer | pin numbers are a defined property of a component | 03:48 |
cladamw_ | we name it as still 1-2-3 but since only two pads only, so name it as 1-3 | 03:48 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: and your hearing fades with age anyway :) | 03:48 |
DocScrutinizer | cladamw_: yup | 03:49 |
wpwrak | cladamw_: the symbol would be named DIODE-13 (or similar) | 03:49 |
cladamw_ | 2, if a SOT-323 shows, NC-A-C ==> we name it as still 1-2-3, but still only tow pads, so 2-3 | 03:49 |
DocScrutinizer | wpwrak: mp3 is annoying, at very least for problems with gapless playback | 03:49 |
wpwrak | cladamw_: the footprint (SOT-23, SOT-323, SOT-523, and so on) would be the same for all parts of that sort | 03:50 |
cladamw_ | so then become: ZENER-13, ZENER-23, or ZENER-12 | 03:50 |
DocScrutinizer | wpwrak: and the artifacts created by mp3 compression are mostly unrelated to reduced sensitivity of old ears at high frequencies | 03:50 |
wpwrak | cladamw_: i would call the ZENER-12 simply "ZENER". agreed on the rest | 03:50 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: (gapless playback) that may be a problem of a mismatch between how the seeking is done and the encoding | 03:52 |
DocScrutinizer | seeking? the idiocy starts with cutting a record in multiple songs | 03:52 |
wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: e.g., i never found it difficult to jump to any time in an mp3. but of course, it would have to be a single mp3, not chopped up | 03:52 |
wpwrak | yeah, the chopping is where the trouble starts | 03:53 |
DocScrutinizer | I had a reason to suggest this particular youtube URL, it's a [full album] | 03:54 |
DocScrutinizer | still it's definitely lacking brilliance and transparency, when you know the vinyl and CD version | 03:56 |
wpwrak | with youtube, i'm not surprised | 03:56 |
DocScrutinizer | I'm simply not convinced of lossy(?) compression, when a single 3.5" HDD can store .iso of >3000 CD | 03:57 |
wpwrak | well, nowadays, it does indeed matter less | 03:58 |
wpwrak | but for a good while, these amounts of data were important | 03:58 |
DocScrutinizer | yep | 03:58 |
DocScrutinizer | for a good amount of time I had my second collection of CDs available | 03:59 |
DocScrutinizer | and it already was missing CDs that weren't available anymore | 03:59 |
qi-bot | [commit] Adam Wang: zener.lib: naming a new chip name ZENER-13 (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/kicad-libs/dd40518 | 04:02 |
kyak | hm. where is nanonote_defconfig in jz-3.3? | 09:22 |
kyak | jz-3.2 is also missing nanonote_defconfig | 09:25 |
kyak | the last place i could find nanonote_defconfig is jz-2.6.38.. that's a pity | 09:27 |
qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: components/EXPAND: add ZENER-13 (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/kicad-libs/cfe8f85 | 11:17 |
wpwrak | love them power cuts ... | 14:19 |
DocScrutinizer | wpwrak: blackout? | 14:28 |
wpwrak | may have been some maintenance. i've seen a notice at a nearby shop a couple of days ago. not in my building, though. | 14:30 |
DocScrutinizer | aah | 14:31 |
bartbes | oh yes, worked my way up to 5th, only about 2000 minutes behind ChanServ | 14:40 |
bartbes | wait a sec, 452 days? how's that even possible? | 14:40 |
wpwrak | bartbes: you think the universe, including you, with false memories in place, was created less than 452 days ago ? | 14:44 |
bartbes | well, I'm not sure what it measures, but I haven't been on for 452 days straight | 14:44 |
wpwrak | even then, perhaps the universe started with a non-zero false uptime, too | 14:44 |
wpwrak | maybe it measures cumulative on-time ? | 14:45 |
bartbes | but then how could I be less than 2 days behind ChanServ? | 14:45 |
wpwrak | maybe chanserv | 14:46 |
wpwrak | wasn't there all the time ? | 14:47 |
Action: bartbes shrugs | 14:47 | |
wpwrak | of course, it's statistics. and what good would be statistics that represent the truth ? :) | 14:50 |
kyak | bartbes: you've actually been | 14:56 |
bartbes | let's check uptime ;) | 14:57 |
bartbes | 137 days | 14:57 |
kyak | wave goodbye to 1 year and 3 weeks you've spent here :) | 14:57 |
kyak | it's not an uptime | 14:57 |
kyak | it's cumulative time | 14:57 |
bartbes | right | 14:58 |
kyak | *12 weeks | 14:58 |
bartbes | and I'm so close to ChanServ and qi-bot since it's obviously qi-bot measuring this.. | 14:58 |
kyak | yeah, it's like an ideal time :) | 14:58 |
kyak | though i would prefer qi-bot not to count itself | 14:58 |
bartbes | well, you know, I haven't really spent a year here, I've mostly been idle | 14:59 |
kyak | i think i can make him ignore the ChanServ though... | 14:59 |
kyak | actually, you are not even in top10 of idlers ;) | 14:59 |
zumbi | . | 14:59 |
kyak | zumbi is trying to improve his idle ratio :) | 15:00 |
zumbi | indeed | 15:00 |
bartbes | kyak: how does it define idle? | 15:03 |
bartbes | or the correct sentence: what's its definition of idle? | 15:03 |
wpwrak | the saying "the sooner you fall behind the more time you have to catch up" comes to mind :) | 15:03 |
GNUtoo | hi | 15:04 |
kyak | bartbes: it's minutes/lines | 15:09 |
mth | kyak: the nanonote config is there, but it's named differently | 15:09 |
bartbes | in that case I should put as much as I can on a single line, should I not? :P | 15:10 |
mth | arch/mips/configs/qi_lb60_defconfig | 15:10 |
kyak | bartbes: if your target is to decrease the idle factor, then you should split it in as many lines as you can :) | 15:11 |
kyak | mth: i see, thanks! | 15:11 |
bartbes | who said I was trying to decrease it? | 15:11 |
kyak | you are right then :) | 15:11 |
DocScrutinizer | I friggin wonder how qi-bot can count online times of chanserv that are > than qi-bot's own online time | 15:35 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe it's using /whois info? | 15:36 |
DocScrutinizer | hah | 15:45 |
whitequark | DocScrutinizer: are you serious about lightning? | 17:17 |
whitequark | well, I understand that a green laser powerful enough could create some ions in the air | 17:18 |
whitequark | but I guess it takes much more to attract a lightning, too? | 17:18 |
Action: whitequark schedules some tests | 17:18 | |
whitequark | (... maybe I should write a testament) | 17:19 |
wpwrak | the main risk is probably that an alien SETI probe detects that powerful beam and activates its gravitational shields as defense, with the resulting shockwave obliterating nearby celestial bodies | 17:38 |
whitequark | I'm fine with that | 17:45 |
whitequark | we have quite a lot of celestial bodies | 17:46 |
LunaVorax | Hello everyone! | 20:51 |
DocScrutinizer | whitequark: I think the same. However a lightning stoke our neighbours house just 3 s after I stopped the green 150mW laser beaming into sky | 21:13 |
DocScrutinizer | ohnoes, apt gone | 21:14 |
DocScrutinizer | ~chaninfo | 21:14 |

Process time user/system 107.89/2.53 child 0/0 | 21:28 |
whitequark | DocScrutinizer: have you tried reproducing it? | 22:57 |
wpwrak | added bonus if it also works with a cloudless sky :) | 22:58 |
DocScrutinizer | whitequark: nope | 23:20 |
DocScrutinizer | by mere physical rules it should hit me, not the neighbour's roof | 23:21 |
DocScrutinizer | IF it would cause anything, which obviously won't happen at 150mW | 23:21 |
whitequark | yeah, that's what I thought too | 23:40 |
whitequark | and I'd say that here power doesn't matter as much as wavelength does, no? | 23:40 |
whitequark | if you had a UV laser focused at the point at the top of your neighbor's house, it would have been much more effective | 23:41 |
whitequark | infobot: morons? | 23:41 |
Action: infobot cluebats some morons over the head | 23:41 | |
whitequark | infobot: _cluebats_? | 23:42 |
whitequark | what is this I don't even | 23:42 |
