<echelon> |
doubt i'll get it by tomorrow since it's sunday -_- |
| [19:57:26] |
<Foxx> |
isnt today saturday/ |
| [19:57:27] |
<Foxx> |
? |
| [20:03:07] |
<g1powermac> |
not in NJ, its on a whole different time ;-) |
| [20:03:14] |
* |
g1powermac knows, he grew up there ;-) |
| [20:06:11] |
<Foxx> |
whats going on g1? |
| [20:06:25] |
<g1powermac> |
nothin much |
| [20:07:54] |

g1powermac has come across an insanely weird bug in the PMU drivers for the old m68k powerbooks in the most recent kernels |
| [20:08:29] |
<g1powermac> |
the powerbook will just suddenly shut off during boot |
| [20:09:05] |
<g1powermac> |
now, if you set a boot message delay that gives a pause after each message the kernel displays it doesn't shutoff |
| [20:09:15] |
<Foxx> |
thats weird |
| [20:09:16] |
<g1powermac> |
but at least you get to see error messages |
| [20:09:47] |
<g1powermac> |
its the strangest behavior I've ever seen |
| [20:12:24] |
<Foxx> |
yeah |
| [20:13:15] |
<g1powermac> |
I'm uploading a video clip of the boot messages so some of the guru m68k kernel devs can see it |
| [20:13:40] |
<g1powermac> |
I wish I could get a good shot of it without the delay so you can see the message right before it shuts off |
| [20:13:58] |
<g1powermac> |
but because the lcd is so old, the streaming text is a big blur |
| [20:14:00] |
<Foxx> |
what are you using to capture the video? |
| [20:14:08] |
<g1powermac> |
my canon gl2 :-) |
| [20:14:09] |
<Foxx> |
... camera held up to the LCD? |
| [20:14:18] |
<g1powermac> |
pretty much |
| [20:14:22] |
<Foxx> |
ick |
| [20:14:30] |
<g1powermac> |
though I used a tripod |
| [20:14:56] |
<Foxx> |
no VGA out? |
| [20:14:57] |
<g1powermac> |
and adjusted the frame rate to get rid of any flicker |
| [20:14:59] |
<Foxx> |
or composite? |
| [20:15:01] |
<g1powermac> |
nope |
| [20:15:25] |
<g1powermac> |
if there was, I would have used it |
| [20:15:29] |
<Foxx> |
good man |
| [20:15:37] |
<Foxx> |
i hate people that think their camcorder is a VCR |
| [20:15:44] |
<Foxx> |
or a capture box |
| [20:15:52] |
<g1powermac> |
there's an external monitor hookup on it, however it doesn't drive the mac monitor I got |
| [20:16:09] |
<g1powermac> |
it prolly needs to be initialized during the boot |
| [20:16:20] |
<g1powermac> |
it doesn't default to mirroring I guess |
| [20:16:23] |
<Foxx> |
i did a Pocket PC segment a few years back and the only way to do it was hold the cam up to the screen |
| [20:16:33] |
<Foxx> |
but i was able to output it to a 19" VGA LCD |
| [20:16:39] |
<Foxx> |
it came out pretty good |
| [20:16:40] |
<g1powermac> |
thats nice |
| [20:16:53] |
<Foxx> |
i turned off the lights, aligned it |
| [20:16:53] |
<g1powermac> |
I wish I could have outputted to the mac monitor I got, it would've been really nice |
| [20:17:01] |
<Foxx> |
but now we have capture software for PPC |
| [20:18:19] |
<Foxx> |
i so a lot of Wii hacking, and all the scene whoes have to make youtube videos of the hacks and mods |
| [20:18:28] |
<g1powermac> |
these old LCDs are hard to read to begin with. . . |
| [20:18:37] |
<Foxx> |
some of them think their cell phone is a good means of recording "awesome haxx" |
| [20:18:46] |
<g1powermac> |
ugh |
| [20:18:51] |
<g1powermac> |
I hate cell phone crap |
| [20:18:52] |
<Foxx> |
is it DSTN or Plasma gas? |
| [20:19:07] |
<g1powermac> |
hah, I'm not even sure. . .lemme look that up |
| [20:19:36] |
<g1powermac> |
8bit passive matrix |
| [20:20:00] |
<Foxx> |
good ol dual-scan supertwist nematic |
| [20:20:25] |
<Foxx> |
i hated those |
| [20:20:43] |
<Foxx> |
i have an internet appliance with one |
| [20:20:52] |
<g1powermac> |
yea |
| [20:21:02] |
<Foxx> |
dmsg is impossible to read as it flies by |
| [20:21:09] |
<g1powermac> |
exactly |
| [20:21:21] |
<Foxx> |
not to mention it had this crappy foggy gel-capasitive touchscreen |
| [20:21:41] |
<g1powermac> |
euh, luckily the screen itself isn't foggy on this powerbook |
| [20:24:11] |
<g1powermac> |
hmm, should've angled the screen a bit more to get rid of more of the distortions from the lcd |
| [20:24:16] |
<g1powermac> |
oh well, its still readable |
| [20:24:25] |
<Foxx> |
thats all that matters |
| [20:24:37] |
<Foxx> |
after seeing your setup im confident in your ability to record a video |
| [20:24:49] |
<Foxx> |
its not hard, but not too many people care to learn what NOT to do |
| [20:26:09] |
<g1powermac> |
meh, of course if google video gave better output. . . http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5470118290135789807&hl=en |
| [20:26:12] |
<Foxx> |
i think one of the more crappy videos i had to make was a screencast from my dreamcast |
| [20:26:20] |
<Foxx> |
mainly due to the lack of a dreamcast S-video cable |
| [20:26:31] |
<Foxx> |
so scanline interpolation and dot-crawl was apparent |
| [20:26:47] |
<g1powermac> |
I'm going to have to find a better video site |
| [20:26:54] |
<Foxx> |
want me to host it? |
| [20:27:01] |
<g1powermac> |
my original is completely readable, it ain't readable on google video |
| [20:27:14] |
<Foxx> |
whats the final format and size? |
| [20:27:36] |
<g1powermac> |
I'd rather not, so I don't kill your bandwidth as it will be posted on a linux dev mailing list :-) |
| [20:27:38] |
<Foxx> |
an 800k xvid is decent quality |
| [20:27:45] |
<Foxx> |
i have unlimted |
| [20:28:02] |
<Foxx> |
as long as its not an insane size |
| [20:28:09] |
<Foxx> |
BSoD episodes are ~400MB each |
| [20:28:20] |
<Foxx> |
ipod bersions are ~700MB |
| [20:28:23] |
<Foxx> |
versions* |
| [20:29:03] |
<Foxx> |
i can even do a streaming version as well as a downloadable copy, if you like |
| [20:29:36] |
<g1powermac> |
lemme see what I can first in free hosting service like google video |
| [20:29:44] |
<g1powermac> |
I know there's an hd one out there |
| [20:29:54] |
<Foxx> |
check your PM |
