#rockbox log for 2004-04-14

00:00:22amiconnI would use <= 24 bit fractional part to leave enough "headroom" on the integer part; otherwise an overflow might not be detected.
00:00:28[IDC]Dragona multiplication kills many bits if you have more integer bits
00:01:47[IDC]Dragonif you have 16.16, and multiply that with the same kind, your fractional bits are gone (neglecting sign, that's even worse, one bit less)

00:03:10mattzz[IDC]Dragon: not if I do >>8 first, right?
00:04:23amiconnmattzz: Down to 2.07s (with your default params).
00:04:23[IDC]Dragonthen 8 bits are gone beforehand
00:05:02[IDC]Dragonneed to look at the iteration again, but I'm on something else now
00:06:26mattzzok, time to go to bed. see you folx

00:18:00scott666whats up?
00:18:12midknot much, you?
00:18:54 Part LinusN
00:19:35lImbushas ever somebody thought about connecting an archos.
00:19:37scott666same
00:19:45scott666workin on Cards
00:19:59lImbus-remote-control to a car cd-changer ?
00:20:15lImbusi meant to simulate a cd-changer with the archos
00:20:21scott666thats been done
00:20:29midksimulate, or control?
00:20:44lImbusok, I would like to control my archos by the car radio
00:21:03lImbusjust if it would be a cd-changer of A LOT OF cd's
00:21:10midkohh
00:21:16midkh,,
00:21:21scott666yeah, a few people have done that i think
00:21:29scott666[IDC]Dragon, for one
00:21:36lImbussome car-radios with cd-changer even support cd-text
00:21:49scott666i suggest either joining the mailing list and asking, or reading through the archives
00:22:42lImbusoh, well. beeing subscribed takes time :-/
00:23:26lImbusthanks, ill have a look
00:23:27midkhttp://rockbox.haxx.se/mail
00:24:22[IDC]DragonlImbus: what headunit do you have?
00:25:23midkbrb
00:25:26 Nick midk is now known as midk|brb (mk@ACC4FA0F.ipt.aol.com)
00:26:10lImbusheadunit ? you mean my car radio's main component ? it's a blaupunkt monaco
00:26:42[IDC]DragonI've done Alpine, sorry
00:28:21lImbusI suppose you eavendropped the communication between cdchanger and headunit, then build a "converter" with another small atmel or something like this ?
00:28:42lImbusbtw: I would switch to alpine if it's not possible with blaupunkt
00:28:46[IDC]Dragonat first, yes
00:29:08[IDC]Dragonit's not impossible, it's just not been done
00:29:36[IDC]Dragonlater I found I can go without a controller, doig the protocol by the Archos
00:29:39lImbusyes, I understand, but I'm always lacking of time, so I would prefer to buy a new radio than spending that time.
00:30:15lImbusso the protocol is done within the software, and you modified your rockbox slightly ?
00:30:25[IDC]DragonIt would be an old radio, I've done Alpine M-Bus, which is their older standard. Now the use Ai-Net.
00:30:46[IDC]Dragonno, I didn't modify the box.
00:30:56[IDC]Dragonat least, not for that.
00:31:03lImbus;-)
00:31:29lImbusso I suppose there must be massive documentation somewhere about the archos remote ?
00:31:30[IDC]DragonIt's possible because M-Bus is a single-wire bus
00:32:02[IDC]Dragonall others known to me use several pins
00:32:21[IDC]Dragonthe archos remote?
00:32:22lImbushow can it be the archos understands alpine m-bus without modiying anything ?
00:32:26lImbusyeah
00:32:58[IDC]Dragonbecause the remote pin can be used bidirectional
00:34:37lImbusyou told me you went without controller by doing the protocol by the archos. do they use the same protocol ? would be a great hazard
00:34:42lImbusdont understand :-/
00:35:17[IDC]Dragonsearch the mailing list for my postings
00:35:50lImbusok, Im already doing, thanks so far
00:36:03[IDC]Dragonthe protocol is done in software, mostly (except for bit receiving)
00:39:12lImbusok, that's what I meant. you modified your rockbox software. nice
00:39:51[IDC]Dragonah, yes, certainly

02:34:37diddystar5ahh
02:34:42diddystar5dont install any drivers
02:34:49diddystar5remove any that you have
02:35:01SchubyI tried that to, windows XP see's it as an 'unknown usb device'
02:35:24diddystar5and just plug in your box, xp already has drivers built in for it
02:35:24diddystar5really?
02:35:24diddystar5wow
02:35:45Schubyquestion, how do you uninstall a driver without plugging the archos in so it shows up in hardware manager>
02:36:18Schuby(I havnt used this sucker for over a year, but it still works fine playing songs)
02:37:31Schubytrying this again, without drivers
02:37:48diddystar5go to add remove progs and look for something like tpp driver
02:38:04Schubyok, its uninstalled then
02:38:31Schubyyeah, windows xp can't seem to find "the right software" (from the error window) to install the hardware
02:39:19Schubyim tempted to reformat, but that would be a last resort in this case
02:39:28diddystar5you can try
02:39:42diddystar5make sure you alwasy have a backup on your pc also

02:44:08Schubyso I can try another method of finding the exact driver

04:21:07scott666.....on the archos
04:21:16sleep_21i'm trying to get started on an opensource firmware for the nomad
04:21:31scott666oh, right
04:21:34scott666heh
04:21:34sleep_21you can't run programs from the nomad afaik
04:21:35Bluechipgo4it :)
04:21:59scott666youll need to do quite a bit more than just run firmware_flash then
04:22:03Bluechipno, .rock is to Rockbox as .exe is to Windows
04:22:20sleep_21well, how do you flash the bios the first time?
04:22:26scott666flashing didnt come until 2-3 years into rockbox
04:22:29sleep_21to get Roclbox on there
04:22:39scott666originally we didnt
04:22:50sleep_21oh yeah?
04:22:51Bluechipthe standard firmware checks for an updated f/w in root
04:22:54scott666the archos is capable of firmware updates via ajbrec.ajz
04:23:07scott666if the file is present it loads that
04:23:38sleep_21oh, i think the nomad's firmware is total in the rom
04:23:43scott666they had to open that up and figure out how to scramble and descramble those, then write code to go in it
04:23:51Bluechipyou CAN upgrade nomad firmware as i recall
04:24:05sleep_21yeah, it can be flashed, but i'd have to write the app to do it
04:24:15scott666im pretty sure you need some code to reverse engineer to get anywhere
04:24:31sleep_21and i have an extra which i don't think has any kind of serial interface
04:24:38sleep_21*Xtra
04:25:01Bluechipwrite your own app to flash normal firmware first
04:25:17sleep_21I can't tell whether or not this is totally above me, i know a bit of ASM and a decent bit of C++
04:25:32scott666Bluechip: should i get the 2 minute version or the 10 minute version?
04:25:35Bluechipyou're in then
04:26:06Bluechipscott: the 2min version is good enough for a start
04:26:25Bluechipif you like it, get the big one
04:27:18sleep_21bluechip: that's enough knowledge to get going on it?
04:27:40scott666(note: Bluechip is the optimist of the group)
04:27:45sleep_21haha
04:27:54Bluechipsleep: how does the nomad upgrade?
04:28:03Bluechipneed tea - brb
04:28:36sleep_21#1 connect the USB, #2 turn on the unit, #3 run the firmware update app, #4 unit automatically restarts
04:28:55scott666youll have to crack the app then
04:29:37sleep_21disassemble?
04:30:05scott666i have no idea how to go about cracking it
04:30:33scott666but you need to figure out how it works to write your own code
04:30:33sleep_21hmm
04:31:01sleep_21right
04:31:24Bluechipnahhh
04:31:34Bluechipuse a usb port sniffer and log all the traffic
04:34:08sleep_21this whole undertaking frightens me :-)
04:34:38Bluechipunless you are 104.3% determined to crack it ...give up now
04:35:11Bluechipif they've put an encryption layer in the way, you gonna start sweating
04:35:36sleep_21i'm pretty sure there is an encryption
04:36:03Bluechipare you indeed
04:36:23sleep_21what little information there is on www.nomadness.net suggest that there is
04:36:59Bluechipi'll take your word for it - this was one of the main reasons that I chose an Archos unit
04:37:10sleep_21because of rockbox?
04:37:20Bluechipyes
04:37:33sleep_21yeah, it's a pretty awesome project
04:38:00sleep_21i'm sure it can be done to the nomad, but i wish i wasn't the one who had to start from scratch on it :-)
04:38:49Bluechipwell, if you have questions I am sure that people here will help, it was that way with avos, but
04:39:03Bluechipopen ended "hows" have too many answers
04:39:41sleep_21yeah
04:39:44Bluechipthe more initiative you show, the more help will just appear from the shadows (in my experience)
04:40:04Bluechipget some publicity
04:40:09sleep_21that's what i'm hoping, i'd like to make one breakthrough and hope people will jump onboard
04:40:28Bluechipwrite a program to flash their code - that'll make people sit up
04:40:40Bluechipget schematics
04:40:44Bluechipget chip info
04:40:50Bluechipdatasheets
04:40:56sleep_21im woried about f'ing up my rom in the process, i do like my Xtra ;-)
04:41:01Bluechipprogrammers bluebook for the cpu
04:41:27Bluechipif you have no way to recover a dead rom, you're in trouble
04:42:01Bluechipwith archos you dont (need to) touch the flash, you just add a new f/w to the hardrive
04:42:08Bluechipzero risk
04:45:38scott666get a server that can attempt to be /.ed
04:46:08scott666(late response)
04:46:41BluechipI think it's prolly time to give up on this cards thing
04:46:42sleep_21yeah, but i gotta make progress before i can get /. :-)
04:46:52sleep_21cards?
04:47:06Bluechipsorry, another chat
04:47:13scott666why?
04:47:27Bluechipcos I'm doing it all on my own - and I'm really not that interested

04:56:39Bluechipqsort is a c lib function
04:56:45Bluechipessentially ...it just works
04:57:38Bluechipit takes two elements at a time from array X which has length Y and size Z
04:57:57Bluechipand passed them to fn(void* void*) which says which one is bigger
04:58:23scott666_ahhh
04:58:27Bluechipit uses a divide-and-conquer algorithm
04:58:42Bluechipmore memory, but faster than bubble sort
04:58:55scott666_i figured there was probably a faster way than how i did it
04:59:25Bluechipdo a search for Quick Sort
04:59:30scott666_it was fun to figure out though
04:59:39Bluechipyou worked that out?
04:59:40Bluechipcool
04:59:43Bluechipwell done
05:00
05:00:02scott666_yeah
05:00:27scott666_it went through a few phases, then i came up with the basic idea of moving one to the front and shifting the rest back
05:00:41scott666_then i figured out that wasnt enough and made 'front' a variable too
05:00:44Bluechipoh right, not quite bubble then
05:00:55Bluechipdidn't look super close at the code
05:00:59sleep_21wow, USB snoop outputs an insane amount of data

05:18:22scott666if youre up for explaining what it is
05:18:23scott666heh
05:18:55Bluechiphold deck left hand
05:19:04Bluechiptake BOTTOM 2/3 with right hand
05:19:20scott666and then mix the top back in?
05:19:28Bluechipdrop SOME from the TOP of the right hand on the TOP of the left hand
05:19:34Bluechiprepeat until right hand is empty
05:20:05scott666how many is some?
05:20:10scott666approximately
05:20:26scott666PileCarcCnt/x
05:20:27BluechipTOTALLY dependant on the person shuffling
05:20:39scott666ok
05:20:43Bluechipmaybe even take bottom 8/9ths of deck to start
05:20:47scott666se we use a big random nnumber?
05:21:00scott666i can do that
05:21:12Bluechipi would say take between 2/5 and 4/5 of deck
05:21:30Bluechipmake at least 2 drops
05:21:41Bluechipless than 9 drops
05:21:48scott666and then mix back in between a quarter and a 16th per drop?

06:08:24midkhaha*
06:10:22Bluechipfinished that alg yet?
06:10:49scott666no, im checking to see how it went again
06:13:11scott6662 >= drops <= 9, right?
06:13:34scott666*2 <=
06:14:22Bluechipi reckon that's fair - if you have any cards to hand you could give it a try - given that the idea is to simulate a human
06:14:45scott666ive been thinking that since yesterday, but i cant find a deck
06:14:46scott666heh

06:15:32scott666i do
06:15:39scott666the operative word was 'find'
06:15:42Bluechipahhhhhhhh
06:15:44Bluechipyesss
06:16:00BluechipI just tidied my bedroom, so i can find shit atm
06:16:09Bluechipvery proud of myself
06:16:12scott666heh
06:16:17Bluechipeven washed out the shower
06:16:24Bluechiphtf does a SHOWER get dirty???
06:16:33Bluechipthat's like dirty soap
06:16:36scott666good question
06:16:41Bluechipand towels
06:16:46Bluechipwhy do they need washing
06:16:48Bluechip?
06:17:00BluechipI only ever use them JUST after I have cleaned myself
06:17:16scott666heh
06:17:18midkHAHA
06:20:18scott666x = ((rb->rand()%4)+1)*(cut1*3);
06:20:32scott666range should be 10% to 50%
06:21:24scott666wtf is that *3?
06:21:55scott666*x = ((rb->rand()%4)+1)*(cut1/10);
06:22:39Bluechip*x - lol
06:22:51scott6661-5 * 31/10 = 3-15 cards/drop
06:23:37Bluechipnever allow fewer than say 5 cards to be left in your hand
06:24:16midkhaving fun?
06:24:45Bluechiplol - yeah sick innit - we do this stuff for a laugh :D
06:24:58BluechipI Love AI
06:24:59midkso much work for a card game
06:25:04midk*x = ((rb->rand()%4)+1)*(cut1/10);
06:25:13midkthe logic of that will make me hit the ground dead
06:25:19scott666heh
06:25:30Bluechip:)
06:25:37Bluechip<dumbstruck>
06:25:41midkrand divided by four, that plus one,, times cut1 divided by ten

06:27:59scott666does it really?
06:28:15scott666works fine on this end
06:28:20Bluechipmaybe its a relay thing
06:28:29midkHAHA BC

06:28:57scott666one of those funny-cause-its-true sort of things
06:29:11Bluechipyou must have sooooo many friends
06:30:01scott666the end is taken straight from the shuffle code, only its cut2−−
06:30:17Bluechipdoes it work?
06:30:22scott666no idea
06:30:24scott666heh
06:30:30midkHAH
06:30:41scott666ill test it

06:32:10scott666right?
06:32:14Bluechiplooks good
06:32:25Bluechipdo it with on New deck so you can see what happened
06:32:29Bluechipone
06:35:01scott666InitDeck();?
06:35:39BluechipLook at that proc
06:37:45scott666x &&(cut1<cut)
06:37:45scott666remember what this did?
06:38:16Bluechipx is the countdown of how many to drop
06:38:19Bluechip1..3
06:38:23scott666yeah
06:38:26scott666the other part
06:38:40Bluechipcut1<cut, stops you using cards that are in the other hand
06:38:54scott666do we need to worry about that here?
06:39:06scott666idts
06:39:12Bluechipdunno :(

06:51:34midki should let you do more
06:51:42midki'm hogging the spotlight here
06:51:47midkyou can work on a few lines tomorrow
06:52:15scott666lol
06:52:22Bluechipnote to self: work out how to "ignore" in trill
06:52:27midkok seriously off. good work people!
06:52:30midki think theres a button yo
06:52:37 Quit midk ("BUTTON BUTTON CASE BUTTON OFF")
06:53:17scott666there isnt
06:53:38scott666hmmm
06:53:44scott666i dont see ignore anywhere
06:53:49scott666maybe just /ignore nick
06:53:51Bluechipsource updated
06:54:07scott666whats new? gfx?
06:56:53scott666i think overhand works
06:57:02scott666it definitely shuffles
06:59:37Bluechipif it still needs checking - I will add it later - no time to debug right now
06:59:47scott666ok
07:00
07:00:08Bluechipwhy are you unable to check it?
07:01:04scott666should there be little clumps of numbers in order?
07:01:28Bluechipyes
07:01:34Bluechipread my descriptoin earlier
07:02:22scott666something is wrong then
07:02:31scott666it looks totally random
07:03:05Bluechipcut the deck
07:03:12Bluechiptop on left
07:03:16Bluechipbottom on right
07:03:32Bluechiptake small piles from the right and put them on the left until you are done
07:03:53scott666i know what its supposed to do−−it just doesnt for some reason i havnt figure out yet

07:11:30Schubyyeah so I think my archos 6000 is officially no longer able to connect to a computer
07:11:56Schubyquestion, would a non-official archos usb cable cause windows not to notice the internal HD?
07:11:58Bluechipdoes the USB logo appear on the archos?
07:12:04Schubyyes it does
07:12:16Bluechipthen the archos can see the computer
07:12:26Schubybut windows cannot see the drive, I tried on 3 computers, reinstalling drivers, NOT installing drivers, and reformatting
07:12:35Schubywell I meant I can't transfer anymore
07:12:49scott666bad drive maybe?
07:12:50Bluechiphmmmm
07:12:54Schubystill plays
07:13:02Schubyrockbox 2.2
07:13:15scott666what OS?
07:13:18Schubyim thinking maybe its the USB cable?
07:13:19Schubywindows xp
07:13:24Bluechipcould be the cable
07:13:35Bluechipor maybe the socket
07:13:38Schubyit transfered for a while, froze, and then stopped working like I said (sees archos, but says "No drives')
07:14:03Schubyhmm
07:14:18SchubyI wish I knew where my original cable was
07:14:42Bluechipyeah damn archos for the weird cable
07:14:52Bluechipnever found an adaptor to carry with me
07:15:18Schubyso their cables are modified or something?
07:15:28Bluechipno, just an unusual A-A
07:15:44Schubyhmm
07:16:12Schubymaybe its the socket
07:16:18Schubywhat can I do to adjust that? Its a little lose
07:16:27Bluechipahaaaa!
07:16:34Bluechipopen it up and solder it back on
07:16:43Bluechiptreat with more care in futre ;)
07:16:57SchubyI dont think its off the solder, but let me check
07:17:12Bluechipuse a magnifier
07:17:19Schubyhavnt used this thing for like 1 and a half years
07:17:31Bluechipdirt in the socker?
07:17:47Bluechipclean with cotton buds and IPA
07:18:34Bluechipscott, new source, what do you make of the mocked up screen art?
07:18:56Schubycool, I need to find a allen wrench real quick
07:18:58scott666i havnt looked at it yet, i didnt think it would take this long to get the damn overhand to work
07:19:11Schubyany idea when rockbox will boot using the rom on 6000's?
07:19:16Bluechiplol - the other also took an age :)
07:19:27scott666when jörg has free time
07:19:36Bluechipi dont think they have flash
07:19:41scott666some do

07:20:30Schuby:(
07:20:36Schubyno video for me :\

07:22:29scott666i know what it is
07:22:31scott666i think
07:22:52scott666im moving cards to the front without pushing them back
07:23:12SchubyI know 6k can't do video, thats why I said no video for me :P

08:19:56LinusNmorning mr B
08:20:00Bluechiplol
08:20:52Bluechipsomeone caught me when i was bored and got me started on an engine for card games ...nearly there...
08:22:02Bluechipthere was talk a while back of documenting the API, do you know if it happened?
08:23:47LinusNdocumenting which API?
08:23:57BluechipRockbox plugin API
08:23:57LinusNthe plugin API?
08:24:01Bluechipsorry
08:24:08LinusNthere is a documentation file
08:24:15LinusNit's called plugin.h :-)
08:24:20BluechipLOL
08:24:22Bluechip:)
08:24:35LinusNi guess that answers your question :-)
08:24:49BluechipAnyway, how are you mate?
08:24:58LinusNthis raises an interesting question
08:25:31LinusNit would be nice for people to use your card deck framework like a plugin by itself
08:25:52LinusNa plugin for plugins
08:25:59LinusNand i'm fine thank you
08:26:04BluechipI won't dig, but I hope that is interesting in a good way
08:26:20LinusNi don't think we will go down that road
08:26:28LinusNtoo much work imho
08:26:42BluechipToo much money to go with it I hope
08:27:07BluechipI am writing the plugin to be intuitive - i though of a scripting language, but couldn't work out what was required
08:27:13Bluechip*thought
08:27:27Bluechiphow do you "describe" a card game!?
08:28:04LinusNguh
08:28:35LinusNnow we're talking lots of work...
08:29:14BluechipI suppose you could invent what was required for one game and add to it as required
08:29:23Bluechipcould get messy
08:30:35LinusNthink so
08:30:59LinusNi think it would be better to do a slightly lower level api
08:31:15LinusNa scripting lang is noce of course
08:31:18LinusNnice
08:31:21Bluechipyou can take a look at what I have if you are interested
08:37:43 Join [IDC]Dragon [0] (~idc-drago@pD9512036.dip.t-dialin.net)
08:48:03LinusNi think what you have is a pretty good starting point for a card game
08:48:15Bluechipthanks
08:48:20LinusNmaybe it would be nice to have the deck gfx in an external file
08:48:42BluechipI think I will add that later - but yes, I agree
08:48:51Bluechipat the moment I am "constructing" the card face
08:49:09Bluechipbut for external gfx, I think that every face should be specified
08:49:33 Join amiconn_ [0] (~jens@pD95D1145.dip.t-dialin.net)
08:49:37LinusNyou would also want to clearly separate the "api" from the card game logic, so people could refrain from changing the "core" code
08:50:00BluechipThat would be nice, but not too easy with the current plugin system
08:50:03LinusNmakes it easier to fix core bugs for several games
08:50:18LinusNi mean as a separate section in the source file
08:50:39Bluechipoh yes, is the current version not clearly seperated - i have some better if not
08:50:45LinusNwith a "DO NOT F***ING TOUCH THIS" commens
08:51:09BluechipI would put the C in .h file, but I got told off last time I did that
08:51:26LinusNit's generally frowned upon
08:51:57BluechipHow difficult would it be to have the plugin system allow 2 .c files for a plugin?
08:52:21LinusNit would kind of break the automatic rock creation
08:52:34Bluechipyeah - i thought so
08:52:52LinusNit wants to build a .rock from every .c file
08:53:17Bluechipperhaps we could agree on a .??? extension that would get included?
08:53:40LinusNi'll think about it
08:53:49amiconn_Btw: What's so bad about using .h files? This would also come in handy for my grayscale framework...
08:54:03[IDC]Dragon'morning
08:54:26[IDC]DragonI'm also struggling with the single file restriction
08:54:42LinusNputting code in .h files is Bad Manners(tm)
08:54:46[IDC]Dragonthe JPEG plugin will be a very large spaghetti
08:55:10BluechipMornin' Jo"rg
08:55:19[IDC]Dragonmorn
08:55:43[IDC]Dragonyou can include something else but .h
08:55:55[IDC]Dragoncall it .ch or something
08:56:36Bluechip.ch, .inc, so long as we can all agree - i think it is aesthetic
08:57:11amiconn_So if it's only because .h means "header", perhaps we could use .i or .inc for "include"?
08:57:26LinusNwe can of course extend the building logic instead
08:57:40Bluechipi think ".i" is generateed by the pre-processor
08:58:23LinusNi'll discuss it with bjorn and daniel, and see if we can come up with a good solution
08:58:33[IDC]Dragonbest would be to have one dir per plugin, in the source tree
08:58:49LinusNmy opinion is that we should aim at extending the building logic to allow for severan c files
08:59:00[IDC]Dragonthen plugins can be modular code
08:59:39BluechipI'm all up for the simple answer - but seperate directories sounds cool too
09:00
09:00:11[IDC]Dragonmy JPEG would have at least main, halftone, jpeg, idct, resize
09:01:02Bluechipdisplaying ID3v2 images by any chance?
09:01:12Bluechipnice thing is that 64x64 is a standard in there :)
09:01:24[IDC]Dragonif it's several c files without dir, we'd need some prefixing to tell what belongs together
09:01:51[IDC]DragonBluechip: not in the core, only as a plugin
09:02:09[IDC]Dragonthe JPEG code is fairly large
09:02:41amiconn_Another improvement would be to include a compiler switch to automatically throw out unused code when compiling (very helpful if including frameworks)
09:02:48mattzz[IDC]Dragon: one directory per plugin sounds best.
09:03:16amiconn_mattzz: This doesn't help for files that are intended to be used in several plugins.
09:03:43Bluechipthey can live in a KNOWN directory
09:03:47[IDC]Dragonyou could also include stuff by referencing e.g. to ../grayscale/halftone.inc or something

09:04:42mattzzSo the problem should be fixed where it occurs
09:05:10mattzzany chance of autoconf'ing the process?

11:59:17monkeyalright since someone asked today on the ml and i was just wondering...
12:00
12:00:04monkeyif i were to get a replacement HD with 8MB of ram would that be as useful as the 8MB mod?
12:00:22Bluechipno
12:00:51monkeywould it only help in the amount the disk has to spin to get files?
12:01:12Bluechipas i understand, the spin down command flushes the cache
12:01:33Bluechipwhich is real dumb - but sadly out of our control
12:01:40monkeyso we wouldnt be able to keep data in the cache
12:02:48Bluechipas I understand it is impossible (i hate that word)
12:02:51monkeyoh so it wouldnt even help with songs because the unit only has 2MB and no matter how much we have it would only store 2MB?
12:03:15Bluechip2MB -firmware -plugins -playlist -other
12:04:07monkeynother quick question then... why is the 8MB mod the largest that is possible?
12:04:19Bluechipsorry, dont know that one
12:04:45monkeythats ok thanks for the clarification about the HD tho
12:05:12Bluechipthe most important thing with the new HDD is power consumption
12:05:22lImbusand silence ?
12:06:00Bluechipsilence second?
12:06:04monkeypower consumption needs to be compatible with old drive... or needs to be low not to drain the batteries?
12:06:13Bluechipyes
12:06:16Bluechipsorry
12:06:16Bluechiplol
12:06:25Bluechipthinking battery life
12:06:55Bluechipi wonder how things are with putting a 1.8" in it
12:07:27monkeyi was wondering that too... but where does one pick up a 1.8"?
12:07:54Bluechipebuyer?
12:08:29monkeyguess you could pick up an ipod that has expired
12:08:35 Quit [IDC]Dragon ("no fate but what we make (EOF)")
12:08:39monkeythere should be tons of those
12:11:55lImbuswould it help if I open the archos I bought on ebay with an 40 GB HD already build in to tell you the brand and model ?
12:12:35monkeynah replacement drives are listed on the site
12:13:06monkeybut those are 2.5"
12:17:07lImbusfurthermore, I can't find it.

14:25:36Bluechipno, no, yes, and more accurately it was a giggle at the Terminator reference - amused that and ISP got "skynet"
14:27:00Bluechipactually make that "yes" a "sort of" ...the bandwidth is not so relevant as you are most likely not capped on daily downloads
14:27:03lImbusit's the "first" isp of belgium, tied to the first belgium telecom operator belgacom
14:27:33BluechipUK providers suck
14:27:38Bluechip...all of them
14:28:20BluechipI get 600/128 with a 1GB daily limit for £25/month
14:29:48lImbusohh. to finish it: we havn't got any problems like the germans have with FastPath / Interleave.
14:30:24lImbushaving a ping less than 40 in some of the famous first person shooters is not rare
14:30:34CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
14:30:34*Bluechip looks blank - lol
14:31:01Bluechiprighty
14:31:27lImbuswhut does that mean ?
14:31:41Bluechip"FastPath / Interleave." no idea :(
14:31:56Bluechipfast ping - i understand though
14:33:09lImbuscan't remember which of them is good or bad too, but one of em is the ususal adsl-coding. fast and neat. the other one is a coding rather specialized for atm and or video-streaming, where MORE packages are packed otherwise. it makes you > 200 ms
14:33:54Bluechipcool - ta :)
14:34:31Bluechipi guess the interleaving one is probably the video thing
14:34:41lImbusas a burst usually destroys one frame, the video stream is broken for that frame, and rerequesting the data for the frame is obvisuously useless as obsolete.
14:35:17lImbuswhen packed otherwise, it just destroys one bit of every pack, what can be recalculated by the packs proper repairing mechanism
14:36:14lImbusnice for video, totally useless in games. now german telekom allowes you to switch, but charges you about 10 euro
14:36:32lImbusso, no I'm gonna have my lunch, we'll see later

14:42:29Bluechipno promises, but i can try
14:42:31mattzz|workwell I mostly understand man pages ;-)
14:43:09c0uttai (stupidly) submitted a file to cvs that had cr/lf
14:43:46Bluechipsorry, never solved that one myself - mk's clock had/has the same problem
14:44:03c0uttai'm trying to do a diff to remove the offending characters but can't get it to work
14:44:34Bluechipfrom the diff file, or from your source
14:44:49pfavrI wouldn't expect diff to be able to work on the CR/LF - but I'm no expert.
14:45:15c0uttawhen i diff against cvs i g et a wonderful diff, but the patch fails with HUNK errors
14:45:23pfavrI usually use tr to remove the cr
14:45:36mattzz|workdos2unix?
14:45:50pfavrtr -d '\r' <infile >outfile
14:46:05c0uttai think i need the cvs copy fixed tho
14:46:16pfavrdunno
14:46:44c0uttai'm using ultraedit so i can remove the cr easily by doing a DOS->UNIX
14:46:56BluechipI like ultraedit :)
14:47:01c0uttathe diff recognises that every line is different
14:47:18c0uttaso it is working, but maybe it's patch ?
14:47:22Bluechipyes, you can make an "entire file" patch to fix cvs maybe?
14:47:53c0uttaprobably easier to get a developer (hint, hint) to do it for me
14:48:14Bluechipohhh, you'll be in for a favour for that - lol

22:48:39mattzzamiconn: are you there?
22:51:27amiconnyup. (Just coding in parallel)
22:52:09mattzzI am curious about the tweaking you did to mandelbrot ;-) I have it running with 28 bit fractional part now.
22:52:59mattzz2.15secs@15 iterations
22:53:20mattzzgreyscale is next
22:54:07amiconnShould I paste the inner loop here? (quite some lines). DCC perhaps? Or should I put it on the web?
22:54:46mattzzperhaps mail is the best solution. m.wientapper at gmx dot de
22:54:52amiconn(My version still has 16 bit fractions)
22:55:05mattzzbooooohoooo ;-)

22:55:31mattzzaha, joerg at home already
22:55:35mattzzhiya
22:55:47[IDC]Dragonyes, so soon, just came in.
22:56:00mattzzthat was nearly a day off, heh?
22:56:02amiconnmattzz: btw, just squeezed another 5 % speedup out of grayscale :) (*very* tricky)
22:56:20mattzzevery bit here and there...
22:56:26[IDC]Dragonmattzz: how's the color mandelbrot?
22:56:54amiconn"Graubrot"!
22:56:55mattzzaccuracy first. I am at 28 bit fractional part now and it works fine
22:56:59mattzzlol
22:57:14mattzzbetter than toastbrot!
22:57:16[IDC]Dragonwhow, serious?
22:57:39mattzzyup, 2.15secs@15 iterations for the start set
22:58:01[IDC]Dragondoes it look better when zooming in?
22:58:08mattzzand jens will send me some speedy tweaks - as usual ;-)
22:58:11mattzzyup
22:58:31[IDC]DragonI guess it's fully in asm by now
22:58:45amiconnNot yet ;-)
22:58:46mattzzjens' version surely is

23:00:39mattzzMF|SuP: sure, but I dont know the answer
23:01:06MF|SuPo.k i got one more questioin. does anyone have a sample wps file that i can see
23:01:33amiconnmattzz: mail sent.
23:01:39mattzzamiconn: thanks
23:01:56MF|SuP?

23:07:26mattzzamiconn: dcc is also fine
23:08:14amiconnhmm, will try. Last time I tried it with Linus it didn't work..
23:09:39mattzzamiconn: argh, I am firewalled. stupid me.

23:13:34mattzzamiconn: thanx
23:15:11amiconn[IDC]Dragon: I wonder which is better: I'm comparing 2 grayscale core routines. The old one has the same speed regardless of old and new pixel value, while the new one is faster if there are fewer bits to change.
23:16:02[IDC]DragonI guess nobody expects constant runtime
23:16:45amiconnBest case (no bits to change): +14%, worst case -6 % against old routine. Average speedup +3 %
23:16:45[IDC]Dragonwhat's the speed range?
23:17:07[IDC]Dragonnot much...
23:17:35amiconnYes, really. This gets _very_ tricky to optimize further...
23:19:07[IDC]DragonLet's use it first, befor optimizing like crazy
23:21:05amiconnIm trying to optimize that hard because someone (BC) already thought of using it for *realtime* 3D (!!)
23:21:35[IDC]Dragonwishful thinking
23:21:39[IDC]Dragon;)
23:22:06scott666bluechip thinks of lots of things :-þ
23:22:16amiconnHmm. Not completely impossible, I think. At least when using only a part of the display...
23:24:48mattzzbamm! 1.70 ses @ 15 interations. We have a new record, gentlemen.
23:25:04mattzzs/ses/secs/
23:25:34mattzzThanks, Mr. Jens "3%" Arnold ;-)
23:25:51amiconnThis is 28 bits fraction combined with my tweaks, I guess?
23:25:55mattzzyup
23:26:21mattzz2.01@25
23:26:28mattzz that will be default
23:26:38mattzznow comes the greyscale stuff
23:27:33amiconnIf you want to render grayscale as fast as possible: switch on the overlay only after rendering is done.
23:27:53amiconnThe drawback is of course that you can't watch it working.
23:29:10mattzzI am thinking about greyscale and b&w as different options. Watching it working has a great charme.
23:32:41[IDC]Dragonmattzz: when moving, how about recalculating only the new part?

23:34:57mattzz[IDC]Dragon: good idea!
23:36:44[IDC]Dragonand you update the whole screen for every line. Do you know you can update only a part?
23:37:24amiconnAnother suggestion (probably easier): Update only after completing a line.
23:37:42amiconnWhoops, nonsense.
23:37:55[IDC]Dragonupdate every 8 lines.
23:38:05[IDC]Dragonwith lcd_update_rect()
23:38:09mattzzamiconn: that's what am currently doing
23:38:41mattzz[IDC]Dragon: would that improve speed a lot?
23:38:54[IDC]Dragonwhich?
23:39:24mattzzupdating every 8 lines. I dont know how timing intensive the lcd update thing is
23:39:47[IDC]Dragoncurrently, you update the whole screen 64 times. That should take about half a second.
23:40:07amiconnThis is much like my 3%...
23:40:07mattzz[IDC]Dragon: OK, _that's_ an argument
23:40:16amiconn;-)
23:40:33[IDC]Dragon3% ?
23:40:54mattzzI called Jens Mr. 3%
23:41:08amiconnActually, it is even significantly less ;)
23:41:25[IDC]Dragonit?
23:41:37[IDC]Dragon(I'm missing something)
23:41:54amiconnHmm, apparently something is wrong with my calculation abilities today.
23:42:35amiconnOf course it is more.
23:44:23[IDC]Dragonmattzz: some more speed hints:
23:44:24mattzzdo we have a decision on the include file topic (subdirectories for every plugin)?
23:44:39[IDC]Dragon- counting loops backwards to 0 is faster
23:45:01[IDC]Dragon- you can calculate b outside of the ineer for loop
23:45:19[IDC]Dragons/ineer/inner
23:46:00 Part LinusN
23:46:00[IDC]Dragonbut it's probably all insignificant as long as it's not the iteration itself
23:46:44[IDC]Dragon- tail loops are faster
23:48:00mattzz[IDC]Dragon: yeah might not be significant, but you are suggesting faster and better coding style. So I do appreciate that.
23:49:45***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
23:58:11[IDC]Dragonhmm, tail loop for the iteration was a bit slower
