[02:02:39] <SWPadnos> interesting SMI/realtime post here:
http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/community/en-us/forums/thread/980755.aspx
[02:07:19] <jepler> yeah I had seen in some pentium thermal design manual that SMI must be enabled or you're violating their thermal design rules .. I forget exactly how it was worded
[02:08:35] <SWPadnos> also of interest is that the APIC has to be enabled on the chipset, even if the processor is in PIC mode
[02:41:48] <SWPadnos> howdy jmk-on-the-road
[02:41:58] <jmk-wvm> howdy
[02:42:27] <cradek> hi
[02:42:42] <cradek> can't believe you're traveling when there's teleop work to be done
[02:42:52] <cradek> where are your priorities?
[02:42:52] <SWPadnos> the nerve!
[02:42:55] <jmk-wvm> heh
[02:42:59] <jmk-wvm> major mego today
[02:43:13] <SWPadnos> mego?
[02:43:26] <jmk-wvm> my eyes glaze over
[02:43:30] <SWPadnos> heh
[02:43:36] <SWPadnos> not more 6-sigma training?
[02:43:48] <jmk-wvm> related to that
[02:44:00] <SWPadnos> bummer
[02:44:47] <jmk-wvm> another half day of that stuff, then more reasonable stuff for a couple of days
[02:45:12] <SWPadnos> ah. so you should be able to stay awake oncw Wednesday rolls around :)
[02:45:25] <jmk-wvm> perhaps
[02:45:41] <jmk-wvm> today I got up early, so not much energy tonight
[02:46:27] <SWPadnos> indeed. where did you have to fly to this morning?
[02:46:56] <jmk-wvm> milwaukee
[02:47:27] <SWPadnos> oh, lovely
[02:47:56] <SWPadnos> ahhhh. the smell of - err, what's that smell?
[02:48:39] <jmk-wvm> mexican food?
[02:48:47] <jmk-wvm> (thats what we had for dinner)
[02:48:48] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07v2_2_branch * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/stepconf/stepconf.py: fix SF#1906640
[02:48:57] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07v2_2_branch * 10emc2/debian/changelog: fix SF#1906640
[02:48:59] <SWPadnos> oh. that's much better than beer brewing refuse
[02:51:52] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07TRUNK * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/stepconf/stepconf.py: fix SF#1906640 (different fix than on branch)
[03:01:57] <jepler> if stepconf has homes for 2 of 3 axes (e.g., X and Y but not Z) should it write a config file that has "home all" (move Z to home position then press that button; X and Y axes then move to home) or should it have "home" and no "home all"?
[03:02:02] <jepler> what about a machine with zero home switches?
[03:04:37] <jepler> I am leaning towards not having a homing sequence when any axis doesn't have a home switch
[03:05:02] <SWPadnos> does it make sense to just leave out any axes that have no switches?
[03:06:26] <jepler> no -- if "home all" only homes X and Y then there's no obvious (GUI) way to home Z (you can do it by hitting a key, though)
[03:07:04] <SWPadnos> and "home all" is the only thing that uses HOMING_SEQUENCE?
[03:07:19] <jepler> yeah that's pretty much it
[03:07:21] <SWPadnos> hmmm
[03:07:51] <SWPadnos> presumably you're trying to make it less likely that homing will break tools, by retracting Z first, then moving X+Y
[03:08:23] <jepler> yeah that's the default (only) home sequence in stepconf
[03:08:32] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07TRUNK * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/stepconf/stepconf.py: fix SF#1906641: if not all axes have home switches, then do not write a HOME_SEQUENCE for any axis
[03:09:04] <SWPadnos> that looks like the sane thing to do (that last commit comment)
[03:09:51] <SWPadnos> you could also present checkboxes for any axes to include for home_all, and gray out those that have no switches defined (and maybe default to none checked if any axis has no home switch)
[03:10:07] <SWPadnos> that would at least let the user know that not all axes will home with home_all
[03:10:54] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07v2_2_branch * 10emc2/debian/changelog: fix SF#1906641: don't use HOME_SEQUENCE without a full set of home switches
[03:10:55] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07v2_2_branch * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/stepconf/stepconf.py: fix SF#1906641: don't use HOME_SEQUENCE without a full set of home switches
[03:12:01] <CIA-22> EMC: 03jepler 07v2_2_branch * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/stepconf/stepconf.py: get rid of debugging messages
[03:19:51] <jepler> feels nice to have solved two bugs in a nice
[03:19:58] <SWPadnos> cool
[03:20:14] <jepler> and BigJohnT's bug reports were quite good
[03:21:10] <SWPadnos> why am I looking at Intel system programming manuals when I should be writing a paper and presentation?
[03:21:21] <SWPadnos> am I stupid, or just very very good at procrastination?
[03:21:45] <jepler> ummmmm-m-m-m
[03:22:03] <SWPadnos> feel free to not answer, or to provide a third (or fourth ...) alternative
[03:23:12] <jepler> nah, I'm too busy playing flash games
[03:23:17] <SWPadnos> heh
[03:46:45] <cradek> jepler: you sure nailed those fast
[03:56:18] <jepler> cradek: they weren't subtle, unlike some of the bugs we've faced lately
[03:56:20] <jepler> but thanks
[03:56:22] <jepler> 'night all
[03:56:45] <cradek> me too, goodnight
[03:57:51] <cradek> it's so nice to sometimes have a clear and understandable bug report, bug, and bugfix

[14:46:17] <cradek> outpost sshd[23908]: Invalid user administrador from 61.238.150.167
[14:46:24] <cradek> ... dumbass
[15:08:21] <skunkworks_> someone trying to get in?
[15:09:03] <cradek> always
[15:09:18] <cradek> but it's a particularly dumb id to try
[15:11:38] <skunkworks_> must be a windows guy ;)
[15:12:18] <cradek> sure, but also it's spelled wrong
[15:12:23] <skunkworks_> saw that. :)
[15:13:46] <cradek> any progress on the K&T?
[15:14:56] <skunkworks_> No - in cozumel for a week. Sucks being back
[15:15:19] <skunkworks_> Dad is taking it easy - doing a little machining for the overhead crane he is setting up
[15:15:29] <skunkworks_> (he can't lift anything yet)
[15:16:15] <skunkworks_> I still have to finish up the kitchen at home.
[15:16:20] <skunkworks_> I seem to keep busy :)
[15:18:13] <cradek> don't we all
