00:00:31 Join langhaarrocker [0] (~Philipp@B49b9.pppool.de)
00:02:04langhaarrockerok, I'm late but: happy new year
00:02:12BoD[]:)) thanks ! you too
00:02:42langhaarrockerhas anybody noticed the y2k3 bug?
00:02:57Kshainyep hit me about 6 am this morning for the first time
00:03:04Kshainmy coffee maker stopped working
00:03:26Kshain;)
00:03:38BoD[]my cell phone company says i have 50min left till 04/01/2002 :)
00:04:12langhaarrockermaybe linus could use that with his laptop... :)
00:07:41Kshainanyhow, langrocker, do you know anything about whats going on with rockbox and the fact that there has been no new updates (daily builds and bleeding edges) for like a week?
00:08:10ZagorKshain: it's called christmas :)
00:08:30BoD[]I say the lead coders took holydays
00:08:30langhaarrockerWell - I'd guess the most of the developers broke their legs while trying to ski.
00:08:37Kshainchristmas smistmas. I expect people to bend to my will
00:08:44Zagorhehe
00:08:49Kshain:) −− Actually I forgot about that. Thanks
00:09:08langhaarrockerKshain: you'd have to nap the ring of Gollum first...
00:09:57 Quit Zagor ("Client Exiting")
00:10:42Kshainlol
00:11:12Kshainbut I want my updates. My precccciouse precioussse updatessss.
00:11:36ricIIany reason why rockbox sould have a problem with a font ? (space seems to be a ramdom garbish)
00:11:58BoD[]is it a microsoft font? ;)
00:12:40ricIIno hand made with xmbdfed
00:12:56ricII6px :)
00:13:33BoD[]well i dont know
00:14:18ricIIit's only space (0x20) action up..
00:15:21 Quit NiarkY ("leaving by all :)")
00:16:12Kshainhey, btw, what is rockbox progrmmed in?
00:16:23ricIIc
00:16:34 Nick Linus|away is now known as linusN (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
00:16:37 Nick linusN is now known as LinusN (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
00:16:39BoD[]and asm i think
00:16:40Kshainc. or c++?
00:16:44LinusNc
00:16:46Kshaindamn
00:16:50LinusNwhy damn?
00:16:51langhaarrocker:)
00:17:00langhaarrockerI want a virtual machine, too
00:17:05KshainI wanted to help but −−- not if it meant relearning c
00:17:28LinusNbut you know c++?
00:18:24Kshainyes, but not very well anymore. I'd have to do some catching up for c++, and I'd have to do even more catching up for c
00:18:45ricIImade a verry small font, it displays 10 lines with avg 30 chars in the textviewer :)
00:18:54LinusNnice
00:19:14LinusNKshain: c and c++ don't differ _that_ much, do they?
00:20:14ricIIonly one prob, char 0x20 (space) displays garbish...
00:20:15Kshainno, not a ton. but there's quite a few things that are reversed, and done differently in c than in c++
00:20:21BoD[]i can't overwrite + in C ;) how rude
00:21:12langhaarrockerTo be honest: I haven't done c before rockbox at all. I used to do c++ a decade ago. That helped a lot. But It wasn't that difficult to do c now.
00:21:16LinusNKshain: yeah, c is "smaller", but i think it's nicer because it more to-the-point than c++
00:21:55LinusN(if you code object-oriented that is)
00:22:32LinusNno behind-the-curtains operator overloading, constructors and shit
00:22:55langhaarrocker"you can program fortran in any language you like" (source: our chief programmer)
00:22:56Kshainyes, I dont really have a preference between the too. I simply went with c++ in the end cuz it was the logical precurson to DirectX
00:23:19Kshainprecursor*
00:23:40BoD[]langhaarocker : hahaa :)))
00:24:14Kshainlol
00:24:18***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:24:22_2deep4u_I would like to request pop3 support in the next firmware upgrade,thanks
00:24:47langhaarrockerbut not before the hardware mod for the usb bluetooth dongle.
00:25:01LinusN_2deep4u_: sure, that's an excellent idea :-)
00:25:14_2deep4u_:)
00:25:45_2deep4u_While we are on the subject,would it be possible to have the archos box act as a dns server?
00:25:54_2deep4u_that would it make all well worth it
00:26:06*_2deep4u_ sings
00:26:08BoD[]i'd like a mame port, too.. or a xbox emulator
00:26:08LinusNwhy not a web server?
00:26:27langhaarrockervia the serial interface and ppp?
00:26:32_2deep4u_good idea!
00:26:45LinusNAJPFW - Archos Jukebox Portable Firewall
00:26:48_2deep4u_heck let's throw solaris on it
00:26:58BoD[]hahahaa :))
00:27:09LinusNi always wanted a protable
00:27:14LinusNportable firewall
00:27:20_2deep4u_portable firewall,the only software to block pick pockets
00:27:52langhaarrockercan we add gps to the thing so we can track the picpocket?
00:27:55_2deep4u_candy dispense would be a real treat
00:28:08_2deep4u_sure,why not - make it a 3g phone also
00:28:13BoD[]yes but, "The ability to program a portable music player is insignificant next to the power of the Force"
00:28:41_2deep4u_divx support would be the sugar
00:28:53_2deep4u_ok im done
00:28:59BoD[]:)))
00:29:37langhaarrockerseems the chaos theory prooves as well in the wether of brainstorming
00:30:38BoD[]anyway.. i find this picture beautiful that was posted on the list

00:31:39BoD[]is this a translucid archos ??
00:31:49hardeeplaf, that's pretty cool
00:32:17Kshain2weird. Got booted to some spanish page with a bunch of bots
00:32:28BoD[]and the logo and slogan are great, too
00:32:41BoD[]except luigi of course
00:33:17hardeepheh, i think luigi's the best part!
00:33:19langhaarrockerbut those batteries aren't the original
00:33:22hardeepor is it mario?
00:33:31Kshain2where is this? Me thinks i missed something
00:33:35BoD[]nothing is original is this unit :)
00:33:46BoD[]kshain2 : http://rockbox.my-vserver.de/micromusic_archos_jb20rec.jpg
00:34:00BoD[]could be mario.. dont know

00:38:38Kshain2anyhow, how did whoevers that is get it to look like that
00:39:17BoD[]don't know ! i'll post a reply in the list
00:40:10Kshain2ok thx
00:40:39_2deep4u_where did you find that link? what forum/mailing list
00:41:08BoD[]on the regular mailing list
00:41:50BoD[]but i read it on the newsgroup (news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.archos.rockbox.general)
00:46:05Kshain2im confused, isnt bjorn someone on the rockbox team
00:46:22BoD[]hmm .. yes ?
00:46:24LinusNBjörn is definitely part of the team
00:46:33BoD[]why
00:47:21Kshain2cuz it says the page is copy righted by him. I thought yu didnt know who programmed the archos in the pic
00:47:32Kshain2or did you just mean you didnt know how he did it
00:47:47BoD[]i dont get you
00:47:53BoD[].. at all :)
00:48:21langhaarrockernobody of us knows how to program the dsp in the archos
00:48:40_2deep4u_dsp..is?
00:48:59langhaarrockerthe Mirconas chip that does the mp3 en/decoding
00:49:04BoD[]digital signal processor
00:49:05_2deep4u_ah
00:49:13Kshain2sorry - I meant why not just ask bjorn
00:49:22_2deep4u_if you could program it,you would be able to add ogg support?
00:49:34LinusN_2deep4u_: no, we wouldn't
00:49:40_2deep4u_oh,ok
00:49:43LinusNit as too little memory
00:49:59_2deep4u_I see
00:50:01langhaarrockerthere's a faq about that, too
00:50:15LinusN4K for both code and data, and the Ogg decoder needs about 100Kbytes of lookup tables
00:50:31LinusNthe Tremor decoder that is
00:50:41_2deep4u_ywow
00:50:44_2deep4u_4k
00:50:50BoD[]:))))))
00:50:50_2deep4u_programming must be so fun
00:51:00BoD[]well 4k of fun
00:51:02Kshain2hey ppl, me thinks i found how he did it.
00:51:02_2deep4u_hah
00:51:10Kshain2if you all havnt yet
00:51:11LinusNKshain2: who did what?
00:51:48Kshain2ah nm. Just realized I got lost way back there
00:51:53BoD[]:))))
00:52:13BoD[]are you drunk
00:52:16Kshain2I thought you guys were talking about the logo - I just realized you were talking about the archos unit itself (in the picture w/ mario)
00:52:30_2deep4u_how was that done anyway
00:52:30BoD[]exactly ! the unit !
00:53:16LinusNi have to go to bed now
00:53:20Kshain2yah I got that down now
00:53:24LinusNcu guys!
00:53:26langhaarrockersleep tight
00:53:27Kshain2where are you linus?
00:53:28_2deep4u_bye
00:53:28BoD[]bye linus
00:53:36LinusNi am in sweden
00:53:43LinusNGothenburg at the moment
00:53:50Kshain2ah, that explains it. Its only 3:00 in CA
00:53:53LinusNnight all
00:53:56 Part LinusN
00:54:01BoD[]a country of great hackers
00:54:03_2deep4u_all the good programmers live in other countries
00:54:24_2deep4u_yes sweden is full of hackers
00:54:31_2deep4u_why is that
00:54:36BoD[]well
00:54:48BoD[]they all have a computer i think
00:54:49langhaarrockerdo they have days in the winter? Or does it remain dark? That would explain a lot...
00:54:58_2deep4u_ha.
00:55:44_2deep4u_we all have cars, that doest make us stunt devils
00:55:58langhaarrockerwith spikes?
00:56:12_2deep4u_:)))
00:56:49BoD[]well
00:57:03BoD[]it's a question of probability i guess
00:57:16_2deep4u_its ok noone really knows why
00:57:24Kshain2its inbred. Italians make good pizza, europeans make good cars... and the swedes are good hackers
00:57:25Kshain2:)
00:57:38BoD[]not a lot of hackers come from africa :) that's because few people in africa has access to a computer
00:57:38_2deep4u_how about chinese
00:57:48Kshain2they make damn good chinese food
00:57:49langhaarrockergood at yellow
00:57:53_2deep4u_how about indians
00:57:55BoD[]:)))
00:58:03Kshain2shut up :)\
00:58:09_2deep4u_there some hackers :)
00:58:11Kshain2fine, my logic lost
00:58:17_2deep4u_ha.
00:58:35Kshain2your asking for it now
00:58:40Kshain2;)
00:58:40_2deep4u_it's 44 degrees im wearing shorts
00:58:55langhaarrockerSome time ago I thought that 'hacker' in sweden would be associated with woodchopping
00:59:15_2deep4u_i n v you
00:59:34BoD[]woodwhat?
00:59:59_2deep4u_let's attach a burner to the archos
01:00
01:00:10_2deep4u_new meaning of cds on the go
01:00:32BoD[]let's attach a pretty girl to the archos
01:00:36BoD[]naked
01:00:50langhaarrockerto few colors
01:01:27BoD[]no.. a real one.. not just a picture
01:02:03langhaarrockerno, thats not compatible
01:02:29_2deep4u_I just purchased the lite on 48x burner
01:02:53_2deep4u_first thing I've baught on the internet
01:02:53langhaarrockerbod: but it might increase the sales - depending on the girl...

05:28:02Kshainhey, can anyone help me with the source files for rockbox? Im majorly confused
05:28:37hardeepshoot
05:29:42Kshainok, first of all, what, besides the main source files, do I need to compile? I obviusly need a compiler right? Or does cvs act as one?
05:30:17hardeepyou need to compile everything in tools/ using the standard compiler
05:30:41Kshainand the standard compiler is? (sorry, told you im lost)\
05:31:07hardeepgcc
05:31:17Kshainahhhh. I'll got get that
05:31:29hardeepfor the main source files, you need the sh1 compiler
05:31:37hardeepyou also need perl
05:31:46Kshainah crap
05:31:58Kshaindoes it matter where I install it all
05:32:21hardeepnot really, so long as the paths are exported
05:32:34hardeepare you doing this on linux or windows?
05:33:03Kshainwin32
05:33:18hardeepi'd highly recommend installing cygwin
05:33:35Kshaingreat, and that is :) ?
05:33:40Kshainsome linus emulator?
05:34:10Kshainlinux*
05:34:28hardeepit provides a unix-like environment for win32 machines
05:34:33hardeepand includes most of the gnu utilities
05:34:43hardeepdownload cygwin, making sure you have all the development tools
05:34:46Kshainok, ill get that too
05:35:00hardeepthen you'll need to build the sh1 cross compiler:
05:35:02hardeephttp://rockbox.haxx.se/cross-gcc.html
05:35:08hardeepafter that, you're good to go
05:36:12Kshainalright. And so I need CVS before I get anything else right? Cuz thats how i d/load everything else?
05:36:45hardeepcygwin includes a version of cvs
05:38:05Kshainalright, lost again lol. I read on vygwin that the only way to get a copy was off cvs so...
05:38:23hardeepwww.cygwin.com
05:38:29Kshainnm, sorry got it
05:38:30hardeepdownload and run setup.exe
05:38:41KshainI was reading something else I guess
05:39:00hardeepactually, hmmm, it looks like someone has already provided a way to set up a cygwin ready system... check out: http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2003-01/0108.shtml
05:40:11Kshainah, I'll check that out
05:40:21Kshainwould that mean that I wouldnt need cygwin?
05:40:44hardeephe provides a cygwin installer that includes everything you need to build rockbox
05:41:13Kshainoh, how nice
05:47:05Kshainhey, he says too:(un)bzip2,(un)tar, the package:
05:47:05Kshain cd c:\cygwin
05:47:05Kshain bzip2.exe -d rockbox-sdk_win32.tar.bz2
05:47:05DBUGEnqueued KICK Kshain
05:47:05Kshain tar xvf rockbox-sdk_win32.tar
05:47:19Kshainhow exactly do I do that?
05:47:25Kshaindo I do that in winrar?
05:47:35PsycoXuluh
05:47:47PsycoXulKshain: you do it exactly how you just pasted
05:48:01PsycoXulKshain: the cd, bzip2.exe, and tar are the commands you do that with on the commandline
05:48:15PsycoXulwith cygwin
05:48:17PsycoXulof course
05:48:23PsycoXulbut yeah winrar if you don't have that stuff
05:48:28Kshainok
05:48:59PsycoXuldamnit
05:49:09PsycoXulit looks like episode 10 of taken is gonna finish downloading before episodes 8 and 9

05:49:47PsycoXultrying to get some album or another and it just sits there not downloading forever
05:49:54Kshainthe problem is I cant find the command line :) (yes, I admit sheepishly, I suck at this kind of thing)
05:50:23PsycoXulwin9x/me (i think) it's "dos prompt", nt/xp it's "command prompt" or somesuch
05:50:36Kshainoh, just do it through there?
05:50:36Kshainok
05:50:45PsycoXulthats the commandline

06:01:22PsycoXuli bought this pda on ebay
06:01:25PsycoXuli won't get it till the 10th
06:01:39PsycoXuland overall i think it'll be better than anything else i could get for it's price
06:01:55PsycoXulbut it kinda sucks that it doesn't have IR or a mic
06:02:13KshainI know. You told me yesterday :)
06:02:23Kshainremember - your gonna hack the shit out of it
06:02:24PsycoXulyeah ok
06:02:29PsycoXulbut i didn't mention the IR and mic part
06:02:35Kshainwhats ir?
06:02:38PsycoXulyes, thats the only reason it'll be better than anything else i could get for it's price
06:02:43PsycoXulIR, you know, infrared
06:02:47Kshainoh duh
06:02:51Kshainthat sorta sucks
06:02:56PsycoXulyeah
06:02:59Kshaininfrared is hella cool
06:03:02PsycoXulyeah
06:03:03PsycoXulheh
06:03:14PsycoXuli suspect there's possibilities though
06:03:25Kshainif your ever in a meeting and you hate your boss, flash the infrared at him for a while. Maybe he'll get cancer
06:03:37PsycoXulheh
06:03:47PsycoXulinfrared doesn't give you cancer
06:03:57Kshainit could
06:04:00Kshainif your lucky
06:04:02PsycoXulheh
06:04:36PsycoXulwalking outside in the day time gives you thousands of times more infrared exposure than what a little LED can output
06:05:24Kshainyou know, one of these days, im gonna learn how to hack, hack into your computer, and leave SHUDDUP in large virtual graphiti on your sedktop
06:05:31Kshaindesktop*
06:05:44PsycoXulheh
06:05:45Kshainwhoa, almost spelled that word backwards
06:05:51PsycoXulheh
06:06:02Kshainanyhow - what is a symlink
06:06:04PsycoXulyou couldn't hack my computer even if you could hack
06:06:06PsycoXulsymbolic link
06:06:17Kshainlol i know i know
06:06:28Kshainhow do you use symbolic links
06:06:39Kshainit says to say: user@host ~
06:06:39Kshain $ cd /bin
06:06:39Kshain $ ln -s gawk.exe awk.exe
06:06:39Kshain $ ln -s gzip.exe gunzip.exe

06:06:46PsycoXulit's this cool feature of *NIX and it's filesystems by where you can make a filesystem entry that acts like a file or directory as far as most things are concerned, but it actualy just points to another file or directory
06:07:08Kshainso how would I do that with the code above
06:07:08PsycoXulthere's actualy 2 kinds of links
06:07:14PsycoXulhard links and symbolic links
06:07:32PsycoXula regular file is just data on the disk with a hardlink to it's disk address, basically
06:07:36Kshainah. Well I have the BASH open, and it says to do that now
06:07:48PsycoXulin *NIX and unix-like systems you can make multiple hardlinks to the same file data
06:08:10PsycoXuland then symbolic links are a little different in that they point to the original file rather than directly to the data
06:08:20PsycoXulso that you can put a symlink on one disk to a file on another disk and things like that
06:08:33PsycoXulcause hardlink's are restricted to being on the same filesystem iirc
06:08:37Kshainah cool. So basically like pointers in c++
06:08:41PsycoXulwell those are the commands that you just pastede
06:08:55PsycoXulexcept the $ at the beginning is to show that it's on a commandline
06:09:11Kshainok i'll try again
06:09:21PsycoXulleave out the $'s
06:09:21PsycoXulheh
06:09:43PsycoXulBasiCE is a full implementation of the BASIC language for Windows CE.
06:09:47PsycoXulman there's some sick people out there
06:10:00Kshainlol
06:10:03Kshaintell me about it
06:10:08Kshainyah its working now
06:11:06PsycoXuli can't wait till linux is fully usable on this pda
06:11:25KshainSo is linux really that great and cool?
06:11:31PsycoXulthen i can cross-compile good old ansi C progs that i can write and download all over the place to run on that thing
06:12:32PsycoXuldepends on what you do i guess
06:12:41PsycoXulif all you use is M$ office and crap like that then probably not
06:12:58PsycoXulbut for a person who likes to get the most out of their machine, linux rocks
06:13:22PsycoXulit's working its way to cater to the M$ office and crap type people too though
06:13:41Kshaincool
06:13:44Kshainnow what about games
06:13:49PsycoXulthats slow going but it's getting there
06:13:57PsycoXulwell
06:14:01KshainI might switch once it gets there
06:14:09PsycoXulwindows has many many more games
06:14:13PsycoXulthats just sortof a given at this point
06:14:17Kshainyah
06:14:24Kshainbeen around a tincy bit longer
06:14:27Kshain:)
06:14:27PsycoXulbut when a game does get made for or ported to linux
06:14:40Kshainthen maybe I will switch
06:14:41PsycoXulit runs better in general, on equivalent hardware
06:14:46Kshainthats cool
06:14:48PsycoXulif you have appropriate hardware for linux
06:15:04PsycoXulyou know if you get some graphics card that doesn't have any good linux support then obviously thats not true
06:15:17PsycoXulbut, say you're on an nvidia card
06:15:27PsycoXuli get better fps in linux on nvidia cards
06:15:36PsycoXulthan the same system running windows
06:15:47PsycoXulwindows never was any good for games
06:16:20PsycoXulit took several years just for games on windows to get back to near the performance they had in DOS
06:16:27PsycoXuland that was mostly just hardware advancement heh
06:16:41***Alert Mode OFF
06:16:54Kshainyah. Well, after some games come out....
06:17:08Kshainjust to make sure, in your book windows is better than apple though right?
06:17:35PsycoXulwell i never used apple much except back in gradeschool/highschool heh
06:18:03PsycoXulmacos pre-X is total crap though yes
06:18:16PsycoXulmacos X is unix-based so it's got a lot going for it already heh
06:18:42PsycoXuli haven't tried it myself, but from what i've read/heard and know in general about it, it's probably better than windows
06:18:50Kshaindoh!
06:18:56KshainI hate apple with a vengeance
06:19:02PsycoXuland everybody i know who's knowledgable about such thing says that apple hardware is better than PC hardware
06:19:09PsycoXulbut
06:19:15PsycoXulalmost every hardware is better than PC hardware
06:19:15PsycoXulheh
06:19:25PsycoXulx86 is a shitty archetecture that should've been phased out years ago
06:19:41Kshainwell, I personally dont mind my pc. I actually sort of like it. But go on, destroy my securites as fast as you can
06:19:46Kshain:)
06:19:47PsycoXulhehe
06:19:52PsycoXulwell PC's are cool and all
06:19:56PsycoXuli like computers for what they are
06:20:14PsycoXulthey're nowhere near the capabilities they have the potential for, yet
06:20:24PsycoXuland they're not gonna get that way without a lot of rethinking of the methologies
06:20:54PsycoXulbut for where we're at and all the context of our economical and technological state etc
06:20:57PsycoXulPC's are good
06:21:00PsycoXulheh
06:21:26PsycoXultheir strong point is the standardization and interoperability
06:21:53PsycoXulyou can buy your expansions and upgrades from anybody, not just the people who make it
06:21:56PsycoXuletc
06:22:07PsycoXulthats the biggest problem with apple, is that you gotta get a lot of apple stuff just from apple
06:22:15PsycoXuland all of it's expensive, cause there's not enough competition
06:22:27PsycoXuli guess apple's better about that these days though
06:22:34PsycoXulthere's a lot of 3rd party products for it anymore i think
06:23:33PsycoXulbut as far as consistent and continual bang for your buck goes, PC's are probably the way to go right now
06:23:38Kshainyah
06:24:00Kshainthank you for giving my one last shred of hope
06:24:09PsycoXulsoon we'll all just have our own personal little pda-like devices

06:25:03KshainIve got another question
06:25:09PsycoXulok so maybe not That soon, but it's on it's way hehe
06:25:28KshainI finished doing everything for the tools, and now I have the exe files but when I click them:
06:25:43KshainI get: cygwin.dll missing
06:25:50PsycoXulhuehehe
06:26:11PsycoXulLicense: Shareware
06:26:12PsycoXulSize: 7.6MB
06:26:19PsycoXulCost: $1999.00
06:26:30KshainWHAT!?!
06:27:49Kshainwhat exactly do you mean
06:28:03PsycoXulheh thats like 4K/$1 or something
06:28:09PsycoXuloh this fucking WinDriver CE
06:28:23PsycoXulThis program automates the development of Windows CE device drivers for PCI, CardBus, ISA, ISAPnP, EISA and CompactPCI.
06:28:42Kshainah and since I dont have that Im screwed?
06:28:49PsycoXuloh this has nothing to do with you
06:29:08PsycoXuli just think it's ridiculous some fool can write an <8mb program and charge $2k for it
06:29:22Kshainoh. Did you even hear my problem?
06:29:40Kshainyou scared me. i thought I had a 2000 dollar problem on my hands
06:29:54PsycoXulyou could pay somebody $20/hr, 40 hours/week, for 2 and a half weeks for the price of that
06:30:28PsycoXulyour problem is not having cygwin :p
06:30:31PsycoXulor something to that effect
06:30:36PsycoXuli dunno you should just need that one dll i guess
06:30:49PsycoXulmost programs compiled with cygwin come with it
06:30:54PsycoXulwhen they need it
06:31:14Kshaink. I'll get it of kazaa
06:33:35Kshainwhere would I put the dll?

16:29:15ricIIcould the usb-port be used for remote debuging / control?
16:30:13Hadakano
16:30:59Hadakathe usb port is only connected to the ISD-200 (or ISD-300) chip which in turn is only connected to the IDE drive - the processor can only turn the chip on and off, but can't do anything else
16:32:10ricIII read something about usb-master mode, but that souldn't be possible then?
16:35:47HadakaricII: well if we do not take into account hardware modifications, it shouldn't be possible
16:37:12ricIIIt's not that I don't want to make a hwmod, just my lap doesn't have a serial-port :(
16:40:01HadakaricII: well I'm not sure what all is possible with reasonable hw-mods though
