[06:51:03] *** g1powermac_PB has joined #zipit
[08:34:24] *** jhaluska has joined #zipit
[09:33:01] *** drmikecrowe has joined #zipit
[09:53:02] <jhaluska> hmm, I have a new 120 gig hard drive for my laptop and I want to dual boot linux / windows
[09:53:11] <jhaluska> Trying to decide how much space to give each
[09:53:23] <jhaluska> Leaning towards 60 gigs each
[10:04:28] <jhaluska> eh, 60 gigs each sounds good
[10:14:37] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[10:20:26] *** Mathman952 has joined #zipit
[10:33:53] <switchcat> what do you do with each?
[10:34:00] <jhaluska> Development
[10:34:03] <jhaluska> Mostly
[10:34:15] <jhaluska> I decided 60 gigs should be enough for each
[10:42:21] <jhaluska> Was considering going windowsless, but there are a few programs that I doubt would be ported to linux.
[10:42:26] <jhaluska> Specifically some microcontroller development tools.
[10:49:13] <Mathman952> that's what the w98 box in the corner is for
[10:49:14] <Mathman952> ;D
[10:53:51] *** LimpTrizkit has joined #zipit
[10:53:57] <switchcat> see if they run on WINE
[10:54:45] *** Mathman952 has quit IRC
[10:54:45] *** LimpTrizkit is now known as Mathman952
[11:04:30] *** LimpTrizkit has joined #zipit
[11:04:35] <jhaluska> switchcat: I will do that.
[11:19:18] *** c0deman has joined #zipit
[11:19:31] <jhaluska> The LM317 output voltage will depend on the input voltage right?
[11:22:46] *** Limp_Trizkit has quit IRC
[11:22:46] *** LimpTrizkit is now known as Limp_Trizkit
[11:27:50] <c0deman> the input voltage has to be higher that the output .. but the output voltage is set by a resistor on the adj pin
[11:29:46] <jhaluska> Cause I was going to put it in a car, and I know the voltage can probably vary between 11 and 14V
[11:29:49] <jhaluska> I only need 3.3V tho
[11:32:25] <jhaluska> I have such a ugly hack to get some stuff working in my car, I have a DC to AC then a power strip with two AC to DC wall warts. heh
[11:39:53] <echelon> hey guys
[11:42:47] <jhaluska> Hey Mr echelon
[11:43:10] <echelon> what distro do you want?
[11:43:39] <jhaluska> I was thinking of trying Arch Linux
[11:43:57] <echelon> nice :)
[11:44:03] <echelon> next best thing after slackware

[13:54:14] *** Mathman952 has joined #zipit
[14:09:23] <echelon> would it appeal to anyone if j2me was ported to z2?
[14:46:42] <switchcat> I think the more ported to z2, the better.
[14:46:57] <jhaluska> yes, port everything
[15:05:39] *** Mathman952 has quit IRC

[16:56:01] *** drmikecrowe_ has joined #zipit
[17:09:13] *** drmikecrowe has quit IRC
[17:17:06] *** jhaluska has quit IRC
[17:17:47] <echelon> switchcat: yeah, but would people want to run mobile java apps on the z2?
[17:18:59] <switchcat> well you won't know until they can! :P
[17:19:19] <switchcat> echelon - I would say yes. but seriously.. I think things should be done in order...
[17:19:47] <switchcat> 1) an effective cli/expanded zipit base system using the current kernel.. 2) a decently working binary distro based on OE or whatever other 3rd party distro people can cobble together.
[17:19:58] <switchcat> once we have decent fully working stable systems, then port port port
[17:25:42] <switchcat> however if you are suggesting that you are currently capable and offering to port software _X_, no matter what it is, the question isn't should you? but would you? (and when?)
[17:26:32] <switchcat> the more apps that are ported, the more people will be interested in getting involved in development, and acquiring zipits..
[17:27:02] <echelon> hmm
[17:34:27] <echelon> OE already has a lightweight java vm, just need to add the midp classes
