[00:02:24] <anonimasu> night
[00:04:42] <Jymmm> Jymmm is now known as Red70sShow
[00:04:42] <Red70sShow> Red70sShow is now known as Jymmm
[00:10:52] <robin_sz> meep?
[00:13:39] <Jymmm> ?peem
[00:14:16] <robin_sz> so .. what gives?
[00:14:42] <Jymmm> just trying to go thru the docs and get the non gui interface goin
[00:14:50] <robin_sz> * robin_sz continues to search the 'net for some RF connectors
[00:15:03] <Jymmm> let me guess... reverse SMA
[00:15:09] <robin_sz> nah, LC
[00:15:40] <robin_sz> like a PL259 on steroids
[00:15:47] <Jymmm> thats fiber, not RF
[00:15:52] <robin_sz> no, its RF
[00:16:07] <robin_sz> althought there is a fibre connector called LC as well
[00:16:13] <Jymmm> ah,
[00:16:32] <robin_sz> its a big sucker, about 2" across
[00:16:41] <Jymmm> like for hardline?
[00:16:44] <robin_sz> heah
[00:16:56] <Jymmm> fuck me those are like $40USD each
[00:16:56] <robin_sz> this needs to go to LDF 5-50
[00:17:16] <robin_sz> if I found some at $40 I'd take em in a snap
[00:17:28] <robin_sz> they are hard to find
[00:17:57] <Jymmm> so you need an adapter more so than a connector
[00:18:05] <robin_sz> adapter?
[00:18:27] <robin_sz> nah, i need a connector to make up 3 patch leads from the amplifier to the laser
[00:18:36] <Jymmm> ah
[00:18:38] <robin_sz> so 6 LC males to LDF 5-50A
[00:19:07] <robin_sz> I tried 4-50A and it got hot :)
[00:19:14] <Jymmm> heh
[00:20:39] <robin_sz> I might just try some RG213 for getting it going, I figure it will hold up for a minute or so, if we keep the power backed off
[00:21:50] <Jymmm> what about RG8 and some N connectors?
[00:22:00] <robin_sz> N connectors are way too small
[00:22:05] <robin_sz> wont take the power
[00:22:09] <Jymmm> use two
[00:22:11] <Jymmm> =)
[00:22:23] <robin_sz> its already split across 3 cables
[00:22:28] <Jymmm> lol
[00:22:30] <robin_sz> 7.5kw each
[00:22:54] <robin_sz> an N type is OK to a couple of KW or so
[00:23:23] <robin_sz> 7/16 DIN is a possiblity
[00:25:31] <Jymmm> http://www.andrew.com/products/connectors/listall.aspx
[00:26:02] <robin_sz> I think kI asked ... $165 each
[00:26:41] <LawrenceG> hi guys...
[00:27:00] <Jymmm> I hate to say this... but it almsots seems it would be much easier in the long run just to grab a couple of sppols of RG8 and run 4-6 lines each.
[00:27:08] <Jymmm> and some N connectors
[00:27:27] <Jymmm> Real ugly, but easily enough to repalce
[00:27:51] <LawrenceG> what frequency is the rf for the laser?
[00:29:15] <robin_sz> 40mhz
[00:29:25] <Jymmm> 7/8", UHF PL-259 HC-875UM $20.25
[00:29:37] <robin_sz> trust me .. a PL2g9 will fry
[00:29:41] <robin_sz> PL259
[00:29:53] <Jymmm> lol
[00:30:02] <robin_sz> and .. it needs to be 3 cables, from the splitter to the 3 cavities
[00:30:57] <Jymmm> http://www.davisrf.com/
[00:30:58] <robin_sz> you can't just paralell cables up you know
[00:31:29] <robin_sz> http://www.scottele.com/index.php?loc=item_detail&data%5Bmajor%5D=0021&data%5Bminor%5D=2160&data%5Bitem%5D=AMP82-59
[00:31:34] <robin_sz> 195 $
[00:31:46] <LawrenceG> 22.5kw at 40mhz... impressive.... hopefully it doesnt play country music!
[00:32:05] <Jymmm> LawrenceG : no, rap.
[00:32:12] <LawrenceG> better...
[00:32:56] <Jymmm> robin_sz come on now.... do match lines just like the truckers do to their dual 40" whip antennas ! rotf
[00:34:05] <Jymmm> oh yeah, forgot the "good buddy"
[00:34:18] <robin_sz> LawrenceG: its actually 25K output from the final stage, but it seems to lose some on the way ...
[00:35:20] <Jymmm> how much?
[00:35:25] <LawrenceG> have any of you guys tried to debug a windows executable under wine? I need to hack a windows program to remove its dependancy on a pp dongle that doesnt work on a laptop with no pp port.
[00:35:48] <robin_sz> LawrenceG: not under wine .. but in doze I have
[00:35:51] <LawrenceG> want to use something like strace to find out which dll is used for the dingle.
[00:35:58] <robin_sz> which make of dongle? Hasp?
[00:36:32] <LawrenceG> could not tell... no markings.... It was not like the sentinel versions I used to use.
[00:36:33] <Jymmm> I hate dongles
[00:36:43] <robin_sz> hmmm
[00:37:08] <robin_sz> I'm pretty good with HASP, from Aladdin
[00:37:21] <Jymmm> robin_sz any tips?
[00:37:26] <LawrenceG> me to... I though maybe the wine approach might work as there has got to be some tools available for debugging under wine that windows doesnt have
[00:37:27] <robin_sz> look for hardlock.vxd etc
[00:38:14] <robin_sz> or just use Softice under 'doze
[00:38:32] <Jymmm> LawrenceG does ti look like this? http://www.aladdin.com/hasp/parallel.asp
[00:38:39] <Jymmm> softice works?
[00:38:41] <robin_sz> softice is *the* tool for de-dongling
[00:38:45] <robin_sz> sure ...
[00:38:52] <robin_sz> softice is as good as it gets
[00:38:59] <Jymmm> i thought aladin did somethign to detect softice now
[00:39:03] <robin_sz> yep
[00:39:14] <robin_sz> but, hey, its a game :)
[00:39:18] <Jymmm> lol
[00:39:21] <Jymmm> yeah it is
[00:39:23] <LawrenceG> will do... A buddy of mine got a new computer and he is having no luck with getting softplan to run on it and tech support is hopeless
[00:39:28] <robin_sz> and they re-hook int3 and ...
[00:40:06] <robin_sz> there are plenty of hasp emulators around ...
[00:40:17] <robin_sz> if you have a real hasp, they can clone it in s/w easy
[00:40:26] <Jymmm> robin_sz I haven't seen them
[00:40:31] <LawrenceG> http://www.softplan.com/lpsoftlite.htm
[00:40:42] <robin_sz> look for dumbhasp.exe etc
[00:41:09] <Jymmm> robin_sz ok, cool.
[00:41:16] <alex_joni> 'lo people
[00:41:27] <Jymmm> hey alex_joni
[00:41:32] <Jymmm> bbiab.... foodage
[00:41:37] <alex_joni> nice
[00:41:41] <alex_joni> robin_sz: meep?
[00:41:47] <robin_sz> meep
[00:42:00] <alex_joni> short question...
[00:42:03] <robin_sz> 42
[00:42:03] <alex_joni> you do cvs.. right?
[00:42:10] <robin_sz> yeah#
[00:42:19] <alex_joni> now all I gotta figure out is what the question is .. right?
[00:42:38] <alex_joni> what's seven times six ?
[00:42:45] <alex_joni> ;)
[00:42:48] <robin_sz> :)
[00:42:49] <alex_joni> back to cvs
[00:43:08] <alex_joni> is there a cvs up -xx command to get a fresh checkout?
[00:43:16] <alex_joni> I mean just scrap all local changes?
[00:46:49] <alex_joni> found it..
[00:46:53] <alex_joni> cvs up -dPC
[00:47:08] <robin_sz> that would probably do it ...
[00:47:19] <alex_joni> yup
[00:47:23] <alex_joni> thx ;)
[00:47:27] <robin_sz> rm -rf works too :)
[00:47:33] <alex_joni> I see you are a fan of 42 ;)
[00:47:45] <robin_sz> the answert to life
[00:47:46] <alex_joni> what's the book called?
[00:47:49] <robin_sz> the universe
[00:47:51] <alex_joni> I read it in german
[00:47:51] <robin_sz> and everyting
[00:47:57] <alex_joni> yeah I know
[00:48:04] <robin_sz> H2G2
[00:48:04] <alex_joni> only read the first two unfortunately
[00:48:10] <alex_joni> h2g2?
[00:48:32] <robin_sz> HitchHiker Guide to the Galalxy
[00:48:55] <robin_sz> H2G2 see?
[00:49:20] <robin_sz> its best on the radio
[00:49:26] <robin_sz> first version
[00:49:59] <robin_sz> anyway .. bedtime
[00:51:16] <alex_joni> night
[01:18:35] <Jacky^> night all
[02:13:50] <CIA-8> 03alex_joni * 10emc2/src/rtapi/examples/ (6 files in 6 dirs): modified the RTAPI examples Makefiles so that they build on 2.6 and other kbuild systems
[02:14:42] <Jymmm> alex_joni you awake?
[02:14:48] <alex_joni> Jymmm: not sure
[02:14:55] <alex_joni> grin
[02:15:02] <Jymmm> know where the info to get kwystick running is?
[02:15:06] <Jymmm> keystick
[02:15:20] <alex_joni> I see my hands typing.. but I'm not sure that's a sign that I'm awakw
[02:15:23] <alex_joni> awake even
[02:15:29] <alex_joni> keystick? with emc1?
[02:15:33] <Jymmm> yeah
[02:15:40] <alex_joni> on both?
[02:15:58] <Jymmm> no clue, I installed via apt-get
[02:16:31] <alex_joni> oh.. BDI one ;)
[02:16:36] <alex_joni> lemme check
[02:16:57] <Jymmm> maybe. I installed debian sarge, then apt-get install emc per instructions on the wiki
[02:17:25] <alex_joni> well.. keystick is not in those sources afaik
[02:17:42] <alex_joni> but you can copy keystick.cc from the emc1 CVS, and compile
[02:18:19] <Jymmm> are you serious?! oh geeeze
[02:20:07] <alex_joni> what?
[02:20:16] <alex_joni> is that so.. outrageous ?
[02:20:16] <alex_joni> :D
[02:20:17] <Jymmm> so reading the manuals are pretty much worthless for keystick
[02:20:26] <alex_joni> what manuals?
[02:20:44] <Jymmm> user,intergrator,developer
[02:20:48] <Jymmm> .pdf's
[02:22:13] <Jymmm> so PLAT is non-realtime?
[02:22:21] <Jymmm> and keystick uses PLAT ?
[02:22:29] <alex_joni> hmm.. look for emcsh.cc
[02:22:37] <alex_joni> and put keystick in the same dir
[02:22:53] <Jymmm> look for it where?
[02:23:55] <alex_joni> nonrealtime
[02:24:00] <alex_joni> in your sources
[02:24:14] <alex_joni> check the wiki to compile emc from CVS
[02:24:28] <Jymmm> oh no, I'm not touching CVS
[02:25:11] <Jymmm> I'm not a developer, I dont want to be either!
[02:25:23] <Jymmm> That's why I apt-get
[02:25:25] <alex_joni> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?BDI-4_Install
[02:25:44] <alex_joni> well then.. forget keystick .. if you don't want to touch the code
[02:25:49] <alex_joni> usermot should be there
[02:26:01] <Jymmm> is usermot non X ?
[02:26:50] <Jymmm> and I can't find this java interface either.
[02:27:27] <alex_joni> usrmot is non X
[02:27:37] <alex_joni> but it's not very useable as a GUI either :(
[02:27:44] <alex_joni> more for debuggin purposes I think
[02:27:50] <alex_joni> never got to use it though..
[02:27:58] <Jymmm> what about the java one?
[02:30:22] <alex_joni> no idea ;)
[02:30:39] <alex_joni> but java is usualy a lot slower than other stuff
[02:30:49] <alex_joni> I think I got a java gui from nist somewhere
[02:30:55] <alex_joni> ftp iirc
[02:31:32] <Jymmm> so it's not included on the BDI image?
[02:37:21] <alex_joni> nope
[02:37:26] <alex_joni> java? never;)
[02:38:16] <Jymmm> that seems silly, unless there's a licensing issue.
[02:39:46] <alex_joni> nah.. but noone ever uses that
[02:39:53] <alex_joni> so .. there's really no point in that
[02:40:05] <alex_joni> and the java stuff takes away some valuable space
[02:40:09] <Jymmm> if it's there, just including it does no harm.
[02:40:26] <Jymmm> I wanted to use is as a remote interface
[02:40:34] <Jymmm> s/is/it/
[02:47:14] <alex_joni> well then you don't need it on the BDI
[02:47:15] <alex_joni> ;)
[02:57:41] <alex_joni> * alex_joni goes to bed
[02:57:50] <alex_joni> night Jymmm, or goodmorning
[02:57:53] <alex_joni> no idea which :D
[03:26:12] <Jymmm> 1900
[06:02:23] <anonimasu> * anonimasu yawns
[06:04:08] <Jymmm> anonimasu going to bed?
[06:04:39] <anonimasu> just woke up going I am sitting at work
[06:04:52] <anonimasu> packed the car going to the customer
[06:04:53] <Jymmm> ah, ok
[06:04:55] <anonimasu> in a bit
[06:04:58] <Jymmm> then G'Morning
[06:05:08] <anonimasu> thanks
[06:05:14] <anonimasu> I got home at 12:00 yesterday night
[06:05:20] <Jymmm> oh joy
[06:05:33] <anonimasu> not too happy about going there
[06:05:47] <anonimasu> but I've got a guy off work driving me so I can sleep in the car
[06:06:04] <Jymmm> get a flat tire in front of the nudie bar
[06:06:16] <anonimasu> heh, been there done that
[06:06:30] <Jymmm> lol
[06:09:47] <anonimasu> well I gtg..
[06:09:47] <anonimasu> laters
[06:09:53] <anonimasu> ~_~
[06:09:54] <Jymmm> take care
[06:09:56] <Jymmm> =)
[07:45:52] <Phydbleep> anonimasu: You still need an airflow sensor?
[07:46:12] <Phydbleep> * Phydbleep has a rude, crude idea..
[07:47:59] <Phydbleep> Ping-pong ball in an acrylic tube, It would at least let you see the flow and you can do it as a vacuum tap arrangement.
[07:55:12] <Jymmm> fooze ball paitned
[12:34:36] <Jacky^> morning all
[15:38:31] <anonimasu> hey
[15:38:36] <anonimasu> Phydbleep: I might aswell build a manometer..
[15:38:40] <alex_joni> hey anders
[15:39:02] <anonimasu> * anonimasu has traveled 3000km this week
[15:39:03] <alex_joni> anonimasu: ever heard about bricscad?
[15:39:14] <anonimasu> no
[15:39:20] <alex_joni> http://www.bricscad.com/about/solutions/design/intellicad/features.jsp
[15:40:39] <anonimasu> looks nice
[15:44:59] <alex_joni> not very expensive either
[15:45:15] <alex_joni> the Pro is 325 EUR
[15:47:31] <alex_joni> later guys..
[17:33:20] <Jymmm> Hola!
[18:00:35] <fenn> uffda
[18:31:37] <Jymmm> lol
[18:31:37] <Jymmm> http://www.eviltree.de/zoomquilt/zoom.htm
[18:38:48] <fenn> oh i do hate flash
[18:39:26] <Jymmm> why?
[18:39:35] <fenn> but that's pretty cool
[18:46:31] <fenn> hahaha.. namae wa ooba kaoru desu
[18:46:59] <fenn> * fenn is going nuts trying to figure out how to do japanese input in linux
[18:57:00] <cradek> kinput2
[18:59:30] <fenn> nope :(
[19:00:05] <cradek> why not?
[19:00:52] <fenn> well, it should switch to japanese when i do ctrl+space right? or shift+space
[19:03:15] <fenn> i have about 10 different japanese input methods installed and i dont know what goes with what
[19:05:16] <cradek> shift space
[19:05:21] <cradek> but it depends on your application
[19:05:39] <cradek> what application are you trying to use?
[19:05:47] <cradek> does kterm work right?
[19:06:36] <fenn> i dont have kterm.. guess i'll try to get it
[19:06:56] <fenn> was trying to use kedit or kate
[19:07:00] <fenn> or xterm
[19:07:00] <cradek> it's the simplest place to start
[19:07:09] <cradek> afaik xterm doesn't use XInput
[19:07:26] <cradek> I don't know what kedit and kate are
[19:07:41] <fenn> kde text editors
[19:07:57] <fenn> kanji displays fine if i paste it into an xterm window.. hrm
[19:08:13] <cradek> but that doesn't mean you can input it
[19:08:16] <fenn> right
[19:09:59] <fenn> i should be able to log into a console (no x server) and type in japanese right?
[19:10:08] <cradek> I don't know anything about that
[19:10:32] <cradek> I doubt you can without some special software running
[19:11:26] <fenn> i just don't know how it all fits together
[19:11:43] <fenn> or how it's supposed to fit together
[19:11:58] <cradek> do you have canna?
[19:12:24] <fenn> i have canna wnn skk kinput2 and more
[19:12:32] <fenn> which might be part of the problem :)
[19:12:40] <cradek> does canna start when you boot the system?
[19:12:55] <fenn> i forget, but it's running right now
[19:13:17] <cradek> try running kinput2 -canna
[19:14:09] <fenn> okay, did that, and opened kterm, shift+space... nothing changes
[19:14:25] <cradek> huh
[19:14:33] <cradek> check syslog for canna errors?
[19:14:50] <cradek> I wonder if you have to set LANG or something
[19:15:27] <fenn> hmm probably
[19:15:33] <fenn> nothing in /var/log/messages
[19:17:55] <fenn> shouldn't it like.. blink or beep or something?
[19:18:48] <cradek> you should get the hirigana "a"
[19:19:13] <cradek> then you type in hirigana and hit space to get the matching katakana from the dictionary
[19:19:24] <cradek> you pick the one you want and hit enter
[19:20:33] <fenn> right.. i've use a similar system on a macintosh before
[19:21:44] <fenn> oh carp
[19:21:56] <fenn> Warning: missing font: KSC5601.1987-0
[19:22:46] <Jymmm> I know what kanji is, but no clue what canna is
[19:23:22] <fenn> ooo i think it works
[19:23:56] <Jymmm> anyone know for sure if theres a image that has keystick?
[19:24:23] <Jymmm> or any other non-x interface
[19:24:49] <fenn> i have to type LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 kedit & to run kedit in japanese
[19:25:03] <fenn> suppose i could export LANG to make it work universally
[19:25:15] <fenn> Jymmm: emc2?
[19:26:16] <cradek> fenn: cool
[19:26:34] <cradek> Jymmm: what do you mean by image?
[19:27:39] <fenn> 本当に書けるよ!

[19:53:06] <Jacky^> * Jacky^ suppertime
[19:53:07] <fenn> Jacky == ジャッキ Giacomo == ジアコモ
[19:53:18] <Jacky^> hi robin_sz
[19:53:22] <robin_sz> eveny
[19:53:26] <Jacky^> fenn: wow
[19:53:32] <Jacky^> :)
[19:53:33] <Jymmm> High Noon
[19:53:47] <Jacky^> later..
[19:53:52] <robin_sz> in the UK, Jacky is a girls name :)
[19:53:59] <robin_sz> short for Jacqueline
[19:54:01] <Jacky^> Jacky^ is now known as Jacky^afk
[19:54:06] <fenn> in the US, robin is a girls name :)
[19:54:15] <Jymmm> short for robin
[19:54:21] <robin_sz> thats Robyn surely?
[19:54:30] <Jacky^afk> robin_sz: also in the US ?
[19:54:32] <Jymmm> nope robIn
[19:54:34] <Jacky^afk> O_o
[19:54:48] <robin_sz> well, handy that I'm a girl then
[19:55:01] <fenn> you wish :P
[19:55:05] <Jymmm> robin_sz does your wife know?
[19:55:23] <robin_sz> * robin_sz puts on some high heels and a little black dress
[19:56:01] <robin_sz> actually ... strange as it may seem ... a friend of ours got locked out of her house, with the kids etc
[19:56:02] <Jymmm> MY EYES! I"M BLIND!!!
[19:56:25] <robin_sz> so .. being unable to get her husband to answer the door, asked a neighbour to get in with a ladder
[19:56:42] <Jacky^afk> robin_sz: in italy Andrea is used for male or female , the same name :P
[19:56:53] <Jacky^afk> no difference
[19:56:57] <robin_sz> as he got to the window .. he saw her husband .. hanging by his neck from a rope ...
[19:57:12] <robin_sz> dressed in womens underwear and a wig etc
[19:57:37] <fenn> was he alive?
[19:57:43] <robin_sz> not even slightly
[19:57:59] <robin_sz> kinda ruins your afternoon
[19:58:21] <fenn> yes.. getting hanged to death is never fun
[19:58:44] <robin_sz> unless you are a politician of course
[20:00:00] <robin_sz> (famous case here of an MP, found dressed in stockings, in his mouth an ornage filled with poppers, around hi neck a length of rope)
[20:00:34] <robin_sz> apparently he was keen on some weird almost-asphixiate yourself while wanking thing ...
[20:00:43] <robin_sz> except he ended up dead ...
[20:01:02] <robin_sz> but .. thats MPs for you .. weird lot.
[20:01:41] <Jymmm> MP's ? Military Police
[20:02:58] <robin_sz> member of parlianment
[20:03:03] <Jymmm> ah
[20:03:04] <robin_sz> politician
[20:03:55] <Jymmm> MP's in the US is primarily 'Military Police'.
[20:04:11] <robin_sz> I don't tink we have thos inthe UK
[20:04:33] <Jymmm> The British Army doesn't have it's own police?
[20:04:49] <robin_sz> probably does
[20:04:58] <robin_sz> dont ever see them or hear about them though
[20:05:09] <Jymmm> k
[20:05:22] <robin_sz> the army is not a "big thing" in the UK
[20:05:35] <Jymmm> heh
[20:05:47] <Jymmm> Oh man...
[20:06:20] <Jymmm> you know what image (iso) would have keysitck or any other non-x interface?
[20:07:05] <cradek> keystick is in emc1's cvs
[20:07:22] <cradek> who knows whether paul put it on any bdi
[20:07:42] <Jymmm> <sigh>
[20:08:10] <cradek> I take it it's not on bdi4.20? did you look?
[20:08:46] <fenn> it is on bdi 4.20
[20:08:48] <Jymmm> cradek: It might be, but I've been RTFM'ing the manual and it doesn't match what I currectly have.
[20:08:58] <fenn> change display=keystick bada boom
[20:09:12] <fenn> no?
[20:09:24] <Jymmm> I installed debian sarge then apt-get emc
[20:09:33] <fenn> hmm
[20:09:40] <Jymmm> per the wiki instructions
[20:09:58] <Jymmm> also, can't find this java interface either.
[20:10:07] <Jymmm> (wanted to run that remotely
[20:12:41] <fenn> http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bdi-emc/debian/
[20:12:59] <fenn> try that one.. emc 0.0.1-22
[20:13:06] <fenn> keystick is in there alrighty
[20:13:42] <Jymmm> where in the hell did you find that one?
[20:13:48] <Jymmm> (just curious)
[20:14:06] <fenn> heh
[20:14:24] <fenn> it was written on the back of a home-made cd wrapper, with a bdi-cd in it, at the retrofest
[20:14:37] <fenn> weird huh
[20:14:39] <Jymmm> ah
[20:15:18] <fenn> wonder why there are no binaries on sourceforge
[20:15:54] <Jymmm> <soapbox>All the releases, docs, images, mirors are all a clusterfuck. Nothing (non cvs) is located or consistant in one central location</soapbox>
[20:16:27] <fenn> yeah, i tried to tackle that problem but, in essence, i am extremely lazy and failed
[20:16:45] <Jymmm> Debian + apt-get gives me a kernel error regardings HAL
[20:17:00] <fenn> what kernel are you running?
[20:17:06] <fenn> (probably the wrong one)
[20:17:27] <fenn> emc relies on a particular patched kernel.. you cant just apt-get and go
[20:17:46] <Jymmm> this one --> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?DebianInstall
[20:18:07] <Jymmm> which is the one you just gave me (argh)
[20:18:21] <fenn> heh
[20:18:34] <Jymmm> only following paul's wiki instructions
[20:19:09] <fenn> anyway, keystick is in plat/bin/keystick
[20:19:23] <Jymmm> and plat is nonRT ?
[20:19:36] <fenn> er, plat/linux_rtai/bin/keystick
[20:19:57] <fenn> but you have to have an nml server running for it to talk to
[20:20:07] <Jymmm> nml ?
[20:20:19] <fenn> nml is the language the different parts of emc use to talk to one another
[20:20:48] <fenn> kinda like XDMCP or .. uh
[20:21:00] <fenn> cant think of any other server protocols right now
[20:21:50] <fenn> anyway, you need a nml server on each machine you are running nml programs (like an EMC gui)
[20:22:10] <fenn> they need to be set up to talk to each other over the network, you do that in the .nml file
[20:22:17] <Jymmm> thats why I wanted the java interface
[20:22:42] <fenn> i'm sure you still ahve to do it
[20:22:49] <Jymmm> actually... starting from a blank hdd, how is one suppose to get to emc2?
[20:23:24] <fenn> cvz -d:ext:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/emc checkout emc2
[20:23:31] <Jymmm> BLANK hdd
[20:23:34] <fenn> oh
[20:23:38] <fenn> fuck ifi know
[20:23:41] <Jymmm> lol
[20:23:51] <Jymmm> cradek you have any idea?
[20:23:52] <fenn> bdi works well, i hear
[20:24:36] <Jymmm> 420? 418?
[20:24:47] <fenn> 4.20 seems to be popular
[20:25:04] <Jymmm> is the one off of sherline ok?
[20:25:07] <fenn> you've practically got it already though if you have sarge installed
[20:25:24] <fenn> sherline's server was down last i checked, or maybe they just aren't mirroring the images anymore
[20:25:35] <fenn> if it works, yeah
[20:26:04] <Jymmm> http://www.sherline.com/emc
[20:26:14] <Jymmm> if what works?
[20:26:32] <fenn> the sherline server :)
[20:26:49] <Jymmm> it seems the mirror a custom version,
[20:27:09] <fenn> http://fenn.dyndns.org/pub/bdi-4.20.iso
[20:27:24] <Jymmm> whats the MD5 of that?
[20:28:16] <fenn> should be cfabb394dcb1478fae6410bdd19392e9
[20:28:33] <Jymmm> ok, that is what I have already.
[20:28:51] <Jymmm> thanks for the offer though
[20:29:02] <Jymmm> save you some bandwidth there =)
[20:29:44] <Jymmm> well, shit I gotta go get a haircut and pick up a cheap dial indicator.... bbl
[20:29:45] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi, all. We're in the process of setting up the freenode testnet again. The testnet will be running hyperion-1.0rc3(136). Hyperion-ircd is a fork of dancer, with quite a few bug fixes and improved channel forwarding. We'll need your help in testing.
[20:29:56] <fenn> ttfn
[20:30:01] <Jymmm> =)
[20:30:23] <lilo> [Global Notice] The bare servers are up, and we're working on setting up a recent copy of services and some other glue. When it's all ready to go, I'll be announcing it in this space. Please come over to the testnet at that point and thrash it. We need your help.
[20:31:37] <lilo> [Global Notice] For those interested, more detailed comments will appear in wallops. To turn on wallops messages, which include quite a bit of random output, please use: "/mode yournick +w".... thanks!
[20:36:31] <Jacky^afk> Jacky^afk is now known as Jacky^
[21:01:42] <anonimasu> * anonimasu sighs
[21:01:44] <anonimasu> hello
[21:02:10] <fenn> mau mau
[21:02:42] <Jacky^> hey anonimasu
[21:11:57] <robin_sz> one day ... I will repay you
[21:12:08] <robin_sz> unless of course, I can;t find you
[21:12:12] <robin_sz> or I forget
[21:48:22] <websys> Anyone know how EMC does the feedrate for a rotary axis?
[21:48:40] <websys> Inverse time or IPM?
[21:49:43] <cradek> units per time
[21:50:09] <cradek> usually the units are degrees
[21:50:14] <fenn> units per second i think
[22:58:57] <fenn> i'm making a japanese translation of EMC
[22:59:09] <fenn> i'm having the hardest time with "Estop on/Estop off"
[22:59:20] <fenn> its kinda funny actually
[23:10:29] <anonimasu> heh
[23:11:18] <anonimasu> why?
[23:14:52] <fenn> watching your brain bounce off of what seems so simple.. makes you realize how tiny and pathetic your conscious mind is
[23:17:14] <anonimasu> yeah but why is that translation so ahrd :)
[23:18:08] <fenn> well.. E = emergency.. no word in japanese
[23:18:21] <fenn> stop = thing you push to stop.. hard to translate
[23:18:44] <fenn> on = in the state of being on, okay, easy enough
[23:18:59] <fenn> but trying to get it smushed into a short button-length phrase is the hard part
[23:19:05] <anonimasu> oukyuu = emergency
[23:19:57] <fenn> thanks :)
[23:20:15] <fenn> you should proof-read this when I'm done
[23:20:26] <anonimasu> shuushifu means full stop
[23:20:35] <anonimasu> might be even better though
[23:22:03] <anonimasu> :)
