[19:29:19] <Foxx> ey' everyone
[19:29:25] <echelon> hey
[19:29:38] <Foxx> its been pretty slow around here, eh'?
[19:29:50] <echelon> yeah, the usual
[19:31:03] <Foxx> yeah, same ol'
[19:31:17] <Foxx> any word if the SVN is fixed?
[19:31:21] <Foxx> the latest wont bitbake properly
[19:31:34] <Foxx> and all this time i thought it was me being an idiot
[19:42:42] <echelon> i still haven't gotten my zipit
[19:42:53] <echelon> i ordered it just two days ago
[19:42:59] <echelon> as soon as my card was approved
[19:44:12] * g1powermac should get back to working on his zipit
[19:44:26] <g1powermac> just too involved with hacking old m68k macs
[19:48:07] <Foxx> booooo
[19:48:22] * Foxx shakes his fist at g1powermac
[19:48:26] <g1powermac> hehe
[19:48:48] * g1powermac can't leave good hardware to sit on a shelf ;-)
[19:48:55] <Foxx> but the Z2 is good...
[19:49:00] <Foxx> it may even be BETTER
[19:49:14] <g1powermac> yea, true, thats why I got back and forth between the two :-0
[19:49:17] <Foxx> shit, 10 years ago i would have killed for a Z2
[19:49:27] <Foxx> i still need to finish my Z1
[19:49:31] <Foxx> its been a year :/
[19:49:42] <g1powermac> when I get bored of the one, I jump back to the other
[19:49:57] <Foxx> i tend to balance multiple projects
[19:50:45] * g1powermac can't handle doing more than one project at a time, so I do a kind of round robin scheduling ;-)
[19:51:04] <Foxx> my projects intertwine with each other
[19:51:54] <g1powermac> yea, that tends to happen with me, one projects leads to another project
[19:52:04] <Foxx> first mod the composite LCD screen to run at low power
[19:52:08] <Foxx> then make some battery packs
[19:52:14] <g1powermac> so I end up with a multitude of different but similar projects
[19:52:16] <Foxx> then get the NES down to a small form facor
[19:52:19] <Foxx> and the video scanner
[19:52:28] <Foxx> and the other stuffthat needs a screen
[19:52:30] <g1powermac> hehe, yup, yup
[19:52:31] <Foxx> for example
[19:52:44] <Foxx> a lot of my 2.4Ghz antennas work for phone, cameras, wifi, and bluetooth
[19:52:51] <g1powermac> well, get this one. . .
[19:53:05] <g1powermac> I want to make a video podcast called "This Old Gadget"
[19:53:12] <g1powermac> for the podcast, I wanted props
[19:53:34] <g1powermac> so I decided to go out and buy a mac classic II on ebay to serve as a prop
[19:54:06] <g1powermac> which then I thought I could install linux on it to control an led sign of the logo of the podcast
[19:54:30] <Foxx> all that work for a crap podcast...
[19:54:32] <g1powermac> which then lead me to playing with and developing a mac bootloader
[19:54:59] <g1powermac> hey, it isn't going to be a crap podcast
[19:55:35] * g1powermac is also a videographer with expensive video equipment
[19:55:41] <Foxx> make it, and then we will see
[19:56:10] <g1powermac> I've professionally made tv commercials for local businesses
[19:56:32] <Foxx> thats great, it doesnt mean the content will be good
[19:56:36] <Foxx> dont get me wrong, id check it out
[19:56:40] <Foxx> but ive seen shows that look great
[19:56:46] <Foxx> but was as filling as stale air
[19:56:58] <g1powermac> http://www.flickr.com/photos/77471288@N00/2661952201/
[19:57:04] <g1powermac> you can see the studio I setup for it
[19:57:05] <Foxx> ive left things flating in the toilet that were more interesting than the postcast
[19:57:10] <Foxx> podcast*
[19:57:25] <Foxx> man, you really went all out, huh?
[19:57:43] <g1powermac> yup, its also for the commercial work I do too
[19:57:52] <Foxx> ahhh
[19:58:02] <Foxx> yeah, for BsoD, i put the cam in my livingroom, and hit record
[19:58:08] <Foxx> its got the editing talents of a stale cracker
[19:58:24] <Foxx> pretty good content though
[19:58:25] <g1powermac> but yea, I agree with the content stuff, without good content its nothing
[19:58:34] <Foxx> you ever check otu BSoD?
[19:58:38] <g1powermac> not yet
[19:58:45] * Foxx kicks g1powermac in the vagina
[19:59:05] <Foxx> ill show you mine if you show me yours
[19:59:05] <Foxx> lol
[19:59:13] <g1powermac> hey, hey, no kicking
[19:59:44] <Foxx> i recently did a Wii RAM Hacking segment
[19:59:47] <Foxx> man, that was a PAIN IN THE ASS
[19:59:58] <Foxx> screencaptures from the PC, and from the TV
[20:00:33] <Foxx> 4 video layers
[20:00:37] <g1powermac> ahh fun
[20:00:49] <Foxx> all having to transistion and sync with audio narrations
[20:01:44] <Foxx> it was a pain but worth it in th elong run
[20:01:48] <Foxx> it helped a lot of people
[21:40:01] <echelon> Foxx: did buynow provide a tracking number for your shipment?
[21:44:00] <echelon> ugh, these paypal crooks!
[21:44:44] <echelon> never use paypal pay later service guys
[21:54:02] <echelon> i ordered something for $30, and now i'm required to pay a $15 late fee because the bank refused to process the transaction because they could locate the account.. that's not the worst part..
[21:54:10] <echelon> the current balance is now $73!
[21:55:37] <Foxx> echelon, i cant recall
[21:55:52] <Foxx> i think it cam via UPS and had tracking
[21:56:09] <echelon> hmm.. i'll have to check the email again
[21:56:20] <Foxx> it took them a while to process it though
[21:56:35] <Foxx> it seems they dont work on days that end in *day
[21:56:40] <echelon> they said it was shipped
[21:58:27] <echelon> fedex
