[02:25:02] <slug_> yes, I'm well aware that Java and Javascript are not the same, I don't bother with Java, ever!

[13:42:05] <jake23> hola
[13:42:15] <geordy> yo
[13:42:28] <geordy> rkdavis, you around?
[13:42:52] <geordy> mozzwald maybe?
[13:44:18] <geordy> What's the latest/best root fs for a ubooted zipit?
[13:45:45] <geordy> jake23 what are you trying to do with your zipits anyhow?
[13:46:28] <geordy> you know the wifi can't do monitor mode, right?
[13:47:23] <jake23> i am currently trying to move the backed up wireless .bin files onto my sd card, but they are not persistant when i put the sd card into the zipit and boot
[13:47:28] <rkdavis> geordy: partially
[13:47:48] <rkdavis> was napping
[13:47:53] <geordy> heheh long time man
[13:48:26] <rkdavis> yup
[13:48:33] <geordy> still playing with your army of zipits or have you completely moved on to raspberry pi?
[13:48:52] <jake23> i am currently running the aliosa27 2gb image
[13:48:55] <rkdavis> still mess with the zipits
[13:49:08] <geordy> jake23: that's about the oldest image imaginable
[13:49:25] <geordy> aliosa27 haven't been playing with his zipit for like 2 years now I think
[13:49:52] <geordy> rkdavis: who has the newest images and instructions?
[13:50:13] <geordy> aside from building a damned toolchain and all that shit
[13:50:46] <geordy> I know mozzwald was running openwrt but is there an x package for that yet?
[13:50:47] <rkdavis> mozzwald for uboot/openwrt & deeice for stock i believe
[13:51:23] <geordy> are you still deving your image?
[13:52:05] <rkdavis> on occasion but not for a couple of months as been doing kinect stuff atm
[13:52:49] <geordy> hmmm... what are you doing with it? You haven't been sharing with your faithful blog readers :-P
[13:53:01] <rkdavis> face recognition
[13:53:05] <geordy> ah
[13:53:20] <geordy> I need to scrounge up $800...
[13:53:46] <rkdavis> but got some xmpp stuff on the goo oo
[13:54:16] <rkdavis> but have located a stash of 250 unopened zipits
[13:54:35] <rkdavis> so mulling whether to get them or not
[13:54:44] <geordy> lol you horder
[13:54:53] <geordy> I need this http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HMZ-T1-Wearable-HDTV-2D/dp/B005SCYZGA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2OMRTHMUP7OZ8&colid=1HWBB3P9G1AMJ
[13:55:07] <geordy> that + kinnect...
[13:55:29] <geordy> I just wish it was much cheaper
[13:57:14] <rkdavis> yeah i didn't pay for the kinect but it was $250 as it's the windows ver
[13:57:17] *** ssieb has quit IRC
[13:57:22] <rkdavis> it's nice but 250 is a lot
[13:57:38] <geordy> didn't know there was a windows version
[13:57:45] <rkdavis> bbiab have to go get a new prepaid amex card to pay for a raspberry pi
[13:57:52] <geordy> lol
[13:57:55] <geordy> alrighty
[13:58:42] <mozzwald> geordy: openwrt is the latest and greatest
[13:58:51] <geordy> any X for it yet?
[13:59:25] *** Embalmed has joined #zipit
[13:59:26] <mozzwald> no, but we have gmenu2x :)
[13:59:36] <jake23> after i get moved over to u-boot, id like to find an image that has wifi working out of the box
[13:59:36] <rkdavis> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/overview.aspx
[13:59:49] <mozzwald> and anarsoul was working on some new window manager
[14:00:10] <geordy> mozzwald rkdavis do you still have to manually move wireless drivers around?
[14:00:18] <rkdavis> bbiab
[14:00:23] <geordy> didn't that shit get opensourced by broadcom finally?
[14:00:35] <geordy> where it could be compiled into the kernel
[14:01:02] <mozzwald> wireless should work after you set up you access points
[14:01:16] <mozzwald> no firmware copying needed
[14:01:31] <geordy> ya I thought so
[14:02:12] <mozzwald> I would recommend slug's in flash image.. it has lots of goodies and gui based wifi setup
[14:02:23] <geordy> link?
[14:02:34] <mozzwald> http://blog.engine12.com/?p=460
[14:03:42] <geordy> and this is the best openwrt link, right? http://www.chainxor.org/openwrt-zipit/
[14:03:58] <mozzwald> anarsoul was working on this for zipit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xynth
[14:04:33] <geordy> that looks pretty sweet
[14:04:45] <mozzwald> chainxor site is projectgus' original port
[14:05:14] <mozzwald> slug's is based on it
[14:06:04] <geordy> ah, so slug's includes openwrt? I thought it was just the graphical interface
[14:06:06] <mozzwald> well, all the openwrt releases are based on it :)
[14:06:33] <mozzwald> slug's rootfs is openwrt but tweaked to be gui friendly
[14:06:38] <geordy> nice!
[14:06:52] <geordy> and I notice they are still using our little ewoc script ;-)
[14:07:14] <mozzwald> modified, but yep :)
[14:07:53] <mozzwald> it's nice not needed an sd card with the in flash image.. but it's also nice to be able to install packages to a card with overlayfs
[14:08:16] <geordy> so you can actually install this image on the system flash then?
[14:08:27] <geordy> like a stock os
[14:08:42] <mozzwald> yep
[14:08:53] <geordy> do you still have uboot then or does it blow it out?
[14:09:06] <mozzwald> uboot is still there
[14:09:10] <geordy> neat
[14:09:27] <geordy> how much flash do these have for openwrt then?
[14:09:40] <mozzwald> the flash partitions are resized and openwrt resides in a jffs2 partition
[14:11:13] <mozzwald> I forget, but I think it's around 6
[14:12:25] <geordy> sounds tight
[14:12:26] <geordy> at least compared to my wrt54g's
[14:12:26] <geordy> but I guess if you can use a card, it doesn't matter much
[14:12:26] <geordy> I'm totally going to have to pull out my zipit again to mess with
[14:12:35] <geordy> I saw you had a gameboy emu running...
[14:12:54] <geordy> does this thing have enough grunt for NES?
[14:12:56] *** slug_ has joined #zipit
[14:13:18] <geordy> slug_'s ears were burning
[14:13:51] <mozzwald> i haven't tried nes, but would like to at some point. gameboy color roms are a little slow even when overclocked
[14:14:13] <geordy> eww
[14:14:31] <slug_> what's up?
[14:14:36] <geordy> that's what is annoying about arm....
[14:14:46] <geordy> slug_: we were just talking about your openwrt image
[14:15:02] <slug_> ah, yeah try it out
[14:15:15] <jake23> i will be as soon as i get home from work
[14:15:16] <geordy> I'm running any NES rom I like on my libretto (pentium 75mhz) NO problem at all
[14:15:39] <jake23> i want to get my zipits up to the latest and greatest, (and with wifi)...
[14:15:50] <geordy> so why a 300mhz arm couldn't keep up is beyond me
[14:16:25] <geordy> jake23: there are a LOT of kickass packages for openwrt so it's kind of a good place to go anyhow
[14:16:39] <geordy> idk how much you've looked through the repos...
[14:16:55] <jake23> ive worked with openwrt for some time
[14:17:18] <jake23> and it looks like the openwrt image for zipit comes with a gui?
[14:17:27] <geordy> slug's does
[14:17:39] <jake23> that is this link? http://www.chainxor.org/openwrt-zipit/
[14:18:43] <geordy> not that chainxor link
[14:18:43] <geordy> no
[14:18:43] <geordy> http://blog.engine12.com/?p=460
[14:18:43] <geordy> that
[14:18:44] <geordy> that's the perpetual problem with zipit dev... we are a scattered bunch
[14:18:57] <jake23> ive noticed that
[14:19:32] <mozzwald> scattered, but we're all here in this channel :)
[14:20:24] <slug_> It's more consolidated now though than it ever was... we at least have github accounts and commit changes on occasion
[14:20:46] <geordy> mozzwald: exactly
[14:21:11] <jake23> geordy: is your blob to u-boot post still valid, or is there something new/easy?
[14:22:06] <geordy> my shit is WAAAAAY outdated... guys, where are the latest uboot instructions?
[14:22:51] <mozzwald> jake23: you currently have blob and aliosa's image?
[14:22:56] <jake23> correct
[14:24:33] <jake23> i also have another z2 that is stock
[14:24:38] <mozzwald> jake23: http://mozzwald.com/node/107 but use latest z2uflasher (with openwrt recovery) http://mozzwald.com/zipit/openwrt/z2uflasher_openwrt_20111127.tar.bz2
[14:25:23] <slug_> rkdavis: don't you want to use the kinect with an ARM running linux?
[14:25:24] <mozzwald> use the latest flashstock if the zipit is stock http://mozzwald.com/download
[14:25:28] <geordy> you should just update that link mozz :-P
[14:25:45] <mozzwald> I should do a lot of things, but I'm lazy :P
[14:25:52] <mozzwald> ..or busy.. not sure which
[14:25:52] <geordy> ya, me too :-D
[14:26:03] <geordy> my blog is getting neglected :(
[14:31:58] <jake23> so... this is slugs img? http://blog.engine12.com/?p=460
[14:32:36] <mozzwald> yup
[14:33:14] <slug_> here's the directory of the different versions --> http://engine12.com/files/gmenu-zipit/
[14:33:59] <jake23> i think its all coming together now
[14:34:16] <jake23> im downloading and preparing everything for when i get home tonight
[14:34:41] <geordy> shoulda just brought your zipit to work jake, no one woulda noticed...
[14:34:57] <slug_> the latest version #11 has the bash history enabled, you may or may not like that
[14:35:16] <jake23> thats what i just pulled down
[14:35:20] <jake23> rc11
[14:35:51] <slug_> it also enables multicasting, which is very cool on a mesh network
[14:36:21] <jake23> sweet
[14:36:47] <jake23> i want to get this nice and ready, then do a talk with everyone at the lodge to setup mesh networking for everyone that is going to toorcamp

[14:40:55] <Salt> i still have some, ordering more at the non-assrape-ebay price
[14:41:12] <jake23> how big is your new order?
[14:41:27] <Salt> as big as you want it ;)

[14:42:11] <Salt> it's still in the plastic v_v
[14:42:36] <Salt> atm i'm trying to make my dc budget
[14:42:37] <jake23> im going to find out tonight how well i can figure out allthese new sites...
[14:49:55] <slug_> Salt: is the gslug meeting open to new comers, I haven't been able to find any info on the organization, the websites not working very well
[14:50:14] <Salt> yes
[14:50:15] <geordy> slug_ I forgot you're a local here anren't you?
[14:50:23] <Salt> very open
[14:50:33] <slug_> yep, still here in woodinville
[14:50:37] <Salt> and yeah, i know about the site
[14:50:43] <Salt> it's been a major headache the last couple months
[14:50:49] <Salt> the person hosting it is MIA
[14:51:34] <Salt> and there are a variety of major ugprades i want to do to it
[14:51:47] <Salt> but alas my free time is such that i'm not even going to make this months meeting
[14:54:58] <slug_> maybe someone could send me an invite with info on the location and time to my email? I'd like to attend. Linux is all I do anymore
[14:57:33] *** fiftyonefifty is now known as fiftyonefiftyAFK
[14:59:49] <Salt> slug_, yeah...i'm not sure atm, we are having what you might call technical difficulties v_v
[15:03:43] <Salt> i really need to get back to work but please bug me later and i'll find the direct link to the mailing list, also i'll send that email about this month...
[15:04:51] <slug_> someone on here mentioned buying a bunch of zipits for the gslug meeting, how did it go? or is the meeting still upcoming?
[15:07:11] <Salt> went alright, i still have a few that havent been delivered, doing another order]
[15:10:14] <jake23> is there a pinout for the plug around the 3.5mm audio jack?
[15:12:42] <ParkerR> jake23, http://mozzwald.com/node/37

[15:26:34] <slug_> Salt:thx
[15:30:25] <jake23> ParkerR: thanks
[15:58:54] *** deeice has joined #zipit
[16:03:12] <deeice> jake23 and geordy: If you still have stock zipits maybe you could test this? http://macrofig.blogspot.com/
[16:03:40] <deeice> It should be sorta equivalent to slug's openwrt jffs image, except for the stock kernel and blob.
[16:04:09] <deeice> It'd be nice to get some feedback on it before everyone changes over all their zipits to uboot.
[16:04:51] <jake23> deeice: what in particular on that site should i look at?
[16:05:42] <deeice> Well the latest jffs image is at the end of the memorial day post. The older posts have some nice pictures of earlier versions.
[16:05:53] <jake23> at some point it like to get psp maps going on one of mine
[16:06:45] <deeice> pspmaps is nice on the stock zipit. I think I saw someone was building it for openwrt. Shouldn't be too difficult.
[16:08:28] <slug_> sd cards are more likely to work with deeice's jffs too
[16:10:15] <jake23> i will (hopefully) be getting mine "up to snuff" tonight, and then i will get started on some ideas for "addons"
[16:10:20] <jake23> (hardware addons)
[16:11:03] <jake23> i was also thinking about picking up one of those "nanonotes" if i can find one for cheap
[16:19:15] <slug_> jake23: just get more zipits, nanotes are mips without wifi
[16:19:22] <jake23> gotcha
[16:19:32] <jake23> also part of my evil plan

[17:34:20] <Embalmed> man i should have been paying attention
[17:34:39] <Embalmed> copy pasting this discussion to my email for my 2 stock zipits
[17:36:28] <Embalmed> can you still load side-track on these guys or is it better to just go with the openwrt. I know adrian quit supporting side-track
[17:44:57] *** anarsoul has quit IRC
[17:45:34] *** ssieb has joined #zipit
[18:12:47] <geordy> Embalmed: you can still load sidetrack if you really want to
[18:12:55] <geordy> but it's usefulness is limited
[18:13:05] <geordy> I'd suggest just moving to the latest and greatest
[18:13:46] <Embalmed> i'm not sure what i'd use an openwrt zipit for
[18:13:56] <geordy> anything you'd use sidetrack for
[18:14:17] <geordy> openwrt's packages are actually updated
[18:14:31] <geordy> and most of the stuff in sidetrack is available in openwrt
[18:14:43] <Embalmed> is there a web browser and say pidgin with otr?
[18:15:14] <geordy> the web browsing capabilities of this thing are pretty limited in the first place
[18:15:26] <geordy> think 1st gen smartphone
[18:15:38] <geordy> remember you don't have a real mouse
[18:15:52] <geordy> it's much better as at text/CLI stuff
[18:16:19] <geordy> as far as IM, I don't know since I've never bothered other than IRC
[18:16:24] <Embalmed> i haven't played with it much, just took out of the box and charged it lol
[18:17:03] <geordy> Adrian hasn't touched sidetrack in two years since he first released it
[18:17:25] <geordy> plus it used the flawed stock kernel
[18:17:26] <Embalmed> i know i read that. them still suggested it though
[18:17:40] <geordy> them is silly :-D
[18:18:02] <geordy> side track was my favorite for a while...
[18:18:31] <Embalmed> i really want IM with encryption
[18:18:32] <geordy> then I moved on to open embedded
[18:18:48] *** `Nerobro has quit IRC

[18:22:46] <Embalmed> yeah that's your blog right? i was reading this last weekend
[18:22:51] <geordy> ya
[18:23:10] <Embalmed> i was planning on using mozzwald's ubuntu
[18:23:19] <Embalmed> but it looked like that too is not being updated
[18:23:26] <geordy> mozzwald has moved on to openwrt
[18:23:45] <geordy> that's kinda how the zipit community rolls
[18:23:56] <geordy> it's flavor of the month
[18:24:01] <Embalmed> ya.. i got frustrated and quit looking for a week
[18:24:13] <geordy> it's way easier just to come here and ask
[18:25:10] <Embalmed> cool. didn't know it existed until today
