Back
[00:01:08] <dmessier> Tonyp...i'd need to see the electrolosys setup....but i like the military prospects already
[00:06:47] <dmessier> i can see how the hybrid would work...
[00:07:02] <dmessier> sweet
[00:08:01] <dmessier> the right pc timing gas vs hydrogen burn... reminicent of appallo
[00:08:31] <Jymmm> http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/05/12/mythbusters-exploding-pants-finale/
[00:08:58] <Jymmm> that's the episode... is does generate hydrogen gas, just doens't do shit for the car.
[00:09:12] <Jymmm> till they grab a tanke of hydrogen gas
[00:09:30] <dmessier> and pipe her in..
[00:10:13] <Jymmm> the used cooking oil worked the best!
[00:10:34] <Jymmm> 36MPG diesel, 33MPG used cooking oil
[00:11:08] <giacus> G'night all
[00:13:29] <dmessier> enviro diesel... is good... french fry oil a little detergents... and giver'
[00:14:23] <Jymmm> Nope, just filtered the used cooking oil thru a coffee filter like thing to remove the solds, and tossed it in, and it ran
[00:14:40] <Jymmm> Now, I have seen where it does MUCH better if heated to 100 F
[00:14:44] <dmessier> my propane is still quite drivable... but its time to start the retro fits.. ; )
[00:15:10] <Jymmm> I'd buy a lil diesel pickup just for that... free fuel!
[00:15:32] <dmessier> likewise...
[00:15:58] <dmessier> 4 cyl perlins diesel...
[00:16:02] <Jymmm> Hell, I'll even setup a hose, pump, storage tanks and filtering system in the back (or underneith)
[00:16:07] <dmessier> perkins
[00:16:34] <Jymmm> I bet something like a pool filter might work
[00:17:00] <dmessier> ive been dreamin of a hydrostatic system... 1 pump controler...
[00:17:19] <dmessier> 4 motors.... @ the wheels..
[00:17:34] <Jymmm> There's a million deep fryers in america... I'd go biodiesel as we know it works
[00:18:37] <dmessier> but is AS it drawbacks... ; ( solid waste..
[00:19:07] <Jymmm> What the solids? Toss em in the garbage... just icky frecnh fries
[00:19:10] <dmessier> same as diesel..
[00:19:35] <Jymmm> or do you mean out the tailpipe
[00:19:46] <Jymmm> which is it damnit! speak up!!!
[00:19:49] <Jymmm> =)
[00:19:55] <dmessier> if ALL the cars on the planet WERE diesel... WE'de be buried in 50 ft of ash
[00:20:27] <Jymmm> Nah, our shit mostly comes from processing plants
[00:20:39] <Jymmm> cars just dont help the matter any.
[00:20:41] <dmessier> it leaveas a solid ash as a BEST burned residue...
[00:21:15] <dmessier> ever been to a tractorr pull...??
[00:21:16] <Jymmm> Hey, if I dont have to pay $3.50/gallon, use it for asphalt roads
[00:21:27] <Jymmm> or some other such thing
[00:21:45] <dmessier> them machines are working WELL...
[00:22:03] <dmessier> and SPEWW solid waste....
[00:22:58] <dmessier> i feel the pain... but electric is best... im working n free electric power this week... ; )
[03:44:53] <A-L-P-H-A> shibby... gas is that expensive in the states?
[03:45:31] <jmkasunich> close to $3
[03:48:16] <skunkworks> jmk - how did the first day go?
[03:48:29] <jmkasunich> busy
[03:48:31] <jmkasunich> still going
[03:49:15] <skunkworks> Good. I think :)
[04:09:37] <skunkworks> night
[04:10:10] <jepler> goodnight skunkworks
[04:10:26] <skunkworks> you guys don't play too hard :)
[05:57:11] <alex_joni> morning
[05:59:00] <jepler> hi alex
[06:01:50] <alex_joni> still busy at fest?
[06:02:19] <jepler> I'm back at the hotel but still working on emc2
[06:02:30] <alex_joni> oh.. feed-override?
[06:02:30] <jepler> after this checkin (which will break all the systems using the parallel port) I'll go to sleep
[06:02:34] <jepler> nope, something else
[06:02:44] <alex_joni> care to share what?
[06:02:58] <jepler> oh, the commit message will explain it more thoroughly than I'm inclined to
[06:03:04] <alex_joni> damn, the screen is blury :D
[06:03:23] <jepler> it's something jon elson mentioned earlier, about the hard-to-debug problem of other software talking to the parallel port while emc is too
[06:03:25] <alex_joni> ok, I'll read it later..
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> 03jepler 07HEAD * 10emc2/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c: (log message trimmed)
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> demonstrate using request_region() / release_region(), documented as working on 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels by
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch02.html
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> This will probably need to be changed/reorganized or even deferred for now,
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> but it shows how to use the linux request_region() / release_region()
[06:05:04] <CIA-8> to make sure that the parport is not also being used by something else---e.g.,
[06:05:09] <CIA-8> the linux 'parport' driver.
[06:05:21] <jepler> (read the full commit message if you want)
[06:05:54] <jepler> though this doesn't actually help jon elson because it only applies to hal_parport, not hal_ppmc or whatever it's called.
[06:05:57] <jepler> goodnight
[06:06:15] <alex_joni> goodnight

[06:51:34] <alex_joni> A-L-P-H-A: ?
[06:51:44] <alex_joni> anything you wanna change?
[06:52:57] <CIA-8> 03jmkasunich 07HEAD * 10emc2/configs/demo_mazak/ (demo_mazak.hal demo_mazak.ini): changed old iocontrol pin names to match current code
[06:54:53] <A-L-P-H-A> ?
[06:54:57] <A-L-P-H-A> oops
[06:54:59] <A-L-P-H-A> no
[06:55:05] <A-L-P-H-A> I doubled clicked by accident in mirc
[06:55:20] <Jymmm> lol
[06:55:35] <alex_joni> ;)
[06:57:55] <cradek> hey, get to bed
[06:57:56] <Jymmm> jmkasunich What like 2am there?
[06:58:08] <cradek> yes
[06:58:10] <jmkasunich> I'm about to leave
[06:58:19] <jmkasunich> cradek: who is worse
[06:58:21] <Jymmm> You part animals you!
[06:58:22] <cradek> jmkasunich: I see jepler's new bug was assigned to you, not me
[06:58:46] <cradek> so yay
[06:58:51] <jmkasunich> the guy who leaves, but gets to the hotel and logs back in, or the guy who is still here, but will actually go to sleep when getting to the hotel?
[06:59:06] <jmkasunich> the guy who leaves, but gets to the hotel and logs back in, or the guy who is still here, but will actually go to sleep when getting to the hotel?
[06:59:07] <cradek> we're just differently crazy
[06:59:13] <cradek> we're just differently crazy
[06:59:25] <jmkasunich> first time only part of it appeared here
[06:59:48] <cradek> it's not often I talk to alex in his morning
[07:00:21] <jmkasunich> what bug was assigned to me?
[07:00:50] <alex_joni> heh.. same here
[07:00:51] <cradek> a new one, feed override being lost after a following error?
[07:00:57] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: some feed override problem
[07:01:15] <jmkasunich> I wonder why I didn't get a mail?
[07:01:21] <alex_joni> I sure did
[07:01:27] <cradek> maybe you will in a bit
[07:01:31] <jmkasunich> then it must be assigned to you!
[07:01:52] <alex_joni> right, cradek should do it :D
[07:02:07] <alex_joni> http://loituma.antyx.net/loituma.swf
[07:02:12] <alex_joni> something for the late night :D
[07:03:05] <cradek> so why is she swinging a scallion?
[07:03:41] <cradek> you find the strangest things
[07:07:11] <jmkasunich> apparently changing etc/hostname alone isn't enough to change the name of an ubuntu box
[07:08:13] <alex_joni> cradek: still there?
[07:08:46] <alex_joni> I got an error on my last commit:
[07:08:54] <alex_joni> Checking in hal_parport.c;
[07:08:54] <alex_joni> /cvs/emc2/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c,v <-- hal_parport.c

[07:08:54] <alex_joni> cvs [commit aborted]: could not open lock file `/cvs/emc2/src/hal/drivers/,hal_parport.c,': Permission denied
[07:09:04] <cradek> yuck
[07:09:46] <alex_joni> probably nothing for this late at nite
[07:09:58] <alex_joni> or this early (for others) ;-)
[07:11:25] <cradek> huh, I don't see anything wrong
[07:12:23] <alex_joni> odd
[07:12:29] <cradek> try again?
[07:13:28] <alex_joni> same thing
[07:13:29] <cradek> duh, I bet you have an anon checkout
[07:13:36] <alex_joni> I mean DUH
[07:13:41] <cradek> hahaha
[07:13:49] <alex_joni> sorry.. it's too early :/
[07:13:56] <alex_joni> and this isn't my machine
[07:14:10] <cradek> that took less than 5 minutes to figure out, but only barely less
[07:17:51] <CIA-8> 03alex_joni 07HEAD * 10emc2/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c: fixed the thing jepler meant, now it shuts down cleanly if the requested region is not available
[07:18:11] <cradek> cool
[07:18:23] <alex_joni> one-liner
[07:19:17] <cradek> best kind
[07:23:08] <jmkasunich> still get a compile warning from parport
[07:23:22] <alex_joni> really? what kind? and on what system?
[07:23:25] <jmkasunich> /home/jmkasunich/emc2head/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c: In function `init_module':
[07:23:25] <jmkasunich> /home/jmkasunich/emc2head/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c:306: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
[07:23:28] <jmkasunich> ubuntu
[07:23:43] <alex_joni> odd, I didn't see that one
[07:24:26] <jmkasunich> I'm going to bed
[07:24:34] <alex_joni> ok, good night
[07:40:55] <CIA-8> 03cradek 07HEAD * 10emc2/src/hal/drivers/hal_parport.c: return useful error code because it's shown right to the user

[13:27:33] <skunkworks> is the finger burner a go?
[16:48:43] <giacus> hello
[16:49:00] <giacus> here's my robo-toy http://www.giacus.org/en/robots.html
[16:49:14] <giacus> I tried to translate the page in english.. :(
[16:49:37] <bill203> good morning giacus.
[16:49:44] <giacus> hi bill203
[16:50:04] <bill203> did you build that robot?
[16:50:16] <bill203> from scratch?
[16:50:20] <giacus> i'm working on it
[16:50:22] <giacus> nah ..
[16:50:34] <giacus> just buyng parts
[16:50:46] <giacus> I'm not an engineer :P
[16:51:20] <giacus> dunno how much terms I missed there ..
[16:52:28] <bill203> I see a few mis-spellings, if you'd like me to point them out.
[16:52:58] <giacus> yes, thanks, where ?
[16:53:24] <bill203> just one actually 'tipical' should be 'typical'
[16:53:34] <giacus> ok
[16:55:05] <bill203> that looks like a fun project.
[16:55:35] <giacus> probably, done for 50%
[16:57:46] <giacus> espandible or expandible ?
[16:58:02] <giacus> mean the same thing ?
[16:58:11] <bill203> expandible means you can add to it.
[16:58:32] <giacus> so, espandible is probably wrong ..
[16:58:45] <bill203> yeah
[17:00:03] <giacus> corrected..
[17:02:02] <giacus> and replaced evoulution with evolution
[17:02:35] <giacus> ouch momements .. lol
[19:01:02] <anonimasu> hm
[19:01:18] <anonimasu> alex_joni: there?
[19:18:22] <LawrenceG> time to wake up the headless guy on festcam... he has been standing there since last night :}

[19:25:24] <LawrenceG> I am not sure what closest major center is... Chicago?
[19:27:08] <giacus> maybe.. no clue
[19:27:30] <giacus> EUG would be nice ..
