[23:59:13] <Rossimo> anyone else use it?
[00:08:58] <asantoni> Rossimo: http://twitter.com/gamegod
[00:08:46] <Rossimo> cool
[00:09:50] <asantoni> Rossimo: btw, hello
[00:10:01] <asantoni> I'm an old Zipit hacker
[00:09:56] <asantoni> from the Z-1 era
[00:10:06] <Rossimo> ah, cool
[00:11:31] <Rossimo> i just really got involved with Z2 stuff early this year
[00:12:04] <Rossimo> well, technically december
[00:12:40] <asantoni> cool
[00:13:03] <asantoni> most of the stuff I did is here:
[00:13:03] <asantoni> http://www.santoni.ca/albert/index.php?p=zipit
[00:13:23] <asantoni> but I did a lot of work on the elinux zipit wiki as well
[00:13:29] <Rossimo> neat, i think i ran across zipitgfx before
[00:15:02] <Rossimo> i actually did a little framebuffer coding here: http://clemsonlinux.org/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=461
[00:14:38] <asantoni> ah very cool
[00:14:55] <asantoni> I've also done some GP2X stuff, but it's not on the site
[00:14:51] <asantoni> I ported rRootage to GP2X using that gpu940 partial GL implementation
[00:16:26] <Rossimo> i loved my gp2x, but i haven't used it lately. that's when i got my start teaching myself about smaller linux devices. none of my code's really worth looking at for the GP2X
[00:18:18] <asantoni> that's ok, neither is my port :)
[00:19:03] <asantoni> it crashes after a while, although I'm pretty sure there's memory corruption in gpu940 somewhere
[00:19:15] <asantoni> L(
[00:19:21] <asantoni> err :)
[00:20:00] <Rossimo> oh well
[00:17:44] <Rossimo> hopefully i'll get some Z2 work done next week.
[00:17:52] <Rossimo> spring break!
[00:18:01] <asantoni> cool, what are you working on?
[00:18:08] <asantoni> How's the z2?
[00:19:04] <asantoni> I'm on my second z1, lol... I busted my first one trying to do the SD card mod a long time ago
[00:19:47] <Rossimo> the z2's pretty nice, the battery life's life terrific with the OE stuff, though.
[00:19:52] <asantoni> I haven't touched either my Z1 or gp2x in a while though, I've been busy with another OSS project
[00:18:34] <Rossimo> i need to do some OE patching, then to work on some SDL apps
[00:18:47] <Rossimo> what project?
[00:20:01] <asantoni> http://www.mixxx.org
[00:19:58] <asantoni> pretty much all my time after the zipit/gp2x stuff has gone into Mixxx
[00:20:18] <asantoni> How long does the battery last?
[00:21:10] <Rossimo> 2-3 hours i think?
[00:21:16] <Rossimo> maaaaybe 4?
[00:21:34] <Rossimo> i usually have it plugged in
[00:22:41] <Rossimo> mixxx is pretty cool, i've always wanted to mess around with some DJ equipment
[00:24:26] <asantoni> :)
[00:24:29] <asantoni> cool
[00:23:45] <Rossimo> most of the OSS work i've done is for my university
[00:24:30] <Rossimo> i maintain Linux support for students
[00:24:35] <asantoni> for courses?
[00:24:43] <asantoni> oh, cool
[00:24:34] <asantoni> I do it all for fun because.... well... I don't have a good reason
[00:24:38] <Rossimo> well, lot's of students need it for different things
[00:24:49] <asantoni> cool
[00:24:34] <Rossimo> engineering, compsci, etc
[00:24:49] <asantoni> it'll look very good on your resume
[00:24:58] <asantoni> I got a very good job last summer because of the embedded ARM work I had done with the Zipit and GP2X
[00:25:18] <Rossimo> yeah. that last thing i want to do it tech support for the rest of my life, though. :P
[00:25:33] <Rossimo> awesome
[00:25:37] <asantoni> (I ended up working on an embedded Linux/ARM system for a company)
[00:25:50] <asantoni> haha I know the feeling
[00:25:51] <Rossimo> i want to do is*
