thafreakIf you were to make a new file server...one giant volume with folders for each share02:07
thafreakor one volume per share?02:07
canthus13Good question.03:04
Unit193Have you ever used Launchpad PPAs with Debian?03:50
dmcglone1Hello03:54
canthus13Unit193: Nope.04:45
paultagcanthus13: oh lordy, what?04:50
paultaghahaha this is great04:51
* paultag reads through04:51
paultagoh jeez04:53
paultagthis is brilliant04:53
paultagGah!!! One of their circuts is wrong04:54
paultagthey need a diode to prevent the transistor from burning out if the realy backlash is too strong04:55
paultagbecause the tranny is only 5v04:55
paultagi've blown 2N2222A's off a relay before04:55
paultagOh wait, nvmd04:55
paultagthere it is04:55
paultaghahahahah04:56
paultagecho cappuccino >/dev/coffee04:56
paultagThe advantage of this method is that it supports feedback from the coffee-machine by using the ACK of parallel port and such, so that smart coffee-machines can produce an interrupt when ready.04:57
paultagUm... fucking brilliant?04:57
paultagYes?04:57
paultagI wonder if I can get my crappy coffie machine talking back to my box04:58
paultag5. Building the Turing Complete Coffee Machine04:58
paultagOh you fucking coy bastard04:58
paultagThis chapter is about assembling a smart, intelligent!, coffee machine. It will be a computer designed with a von Neumann architecture, comprised of a CPU, ROM/RAM and I/O and will also be suitable for generic use, a.k.a. Universal Turing Machine.04:59
paultagI need to do this05:01
paultagcanthus13: you, fine sir, rule.05:01
canthus13paultag: :)05:25
canthus13I Kinda figured it'd pique your interest...05:25
Cheri703paultag: if yours doesn't do what you need, scour the thrift stores, coffee makers ABOUND05:35
canthus13I may attempt to make one as my first real project. :)05:37
paultagcanthus13: :)05:41
paultagCheri703: hell yeah! :)05:41
paultagcanthus13: dude, I need to write a generic interface kernel module05:41
canthus13:)05:42
paultagthen just post hardware interface schematics on my blag or something05:42
canthus13I could migrate my irssi session over to the coffee maker... :)05:42
paultaghumm, I wish I could set up a pump against my water line05:42
paultagcanthus13: totally!05:42
paultagthen I could fill the coffee maker with water, then brew05:43
paultagactually, wait05:43
canthus13Not a pump. just a solenoid.05:43
paultagcanthus13: truth05:43
canthus13the line's already pressurized.05:43
canthus13could scavenge what you need from an ice maker.05:44
paultagwhy not ust take the actual coffee maker part and isolate it, get it feeding coffee from a hopper, water in from the wall, then output the coffee to one of N waiting coffee storage units05:44
paultaga little 1/4 cup spinnything should work for the hopper05:44
canthus13Hmm...05:45
paultagit's be nice to get the "storage units" to have small little contact points going up the side05:46
paultagso you can see the water level05:46
paultagand show it like the battery power in the top right05:46
canthus13Hmm... Just as long as it doesn't crash all the time like my wife's coffee maker. :P05:47
paultag:)05:47
paultagread on /dev/coffeepot will return fill status, and writing to it will produce that many cups05:47
paultagthat'd be brilliant05:47
canthus13Haha! I could really get into this... And I don't drink coffee.  But my wife would love it. :)05:48
paultagit'd be brilliant :)05:48
paultagI sense a new project05:49
paultagonly issue is finding tubing that can handle hot coffee05:50
paultagdon't want to use plastic05:50
paultagperhaps I'll get some new oil lines, the braided steel ones05:50
paultagthose handle oil off the engine05:50
paultagach, but the filter will be crappy05:50
canthus13True...05:50
canthus13Hmm.. Steel filters. My wife has one for her one-cup coffee maker.05:51
paultagyeah, I've got one too, but you still have to empty it and wash it out upside down05:51
paultagOK I need to go to bed before I get too into this05:52
paultagcanthus13: thanks so much man, this is bloody brilliant05:52
paultagBBL :)05:52
canthus13No problem. :)05:52
Cheri703might give you guys some ideas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-3gU44q6Y05:57
* Cheri703 remembered watching it back in the day05:58
dmcglonehey all, I missed the meeting wednesday, and I can't find the chat logs, anybody know where they are?14:34
Cheri703anyone have a 1 or 2 gb SD card they no longer want/need? /me could do with one for the trip to UDS18:38
Cheri703my camera can't take SDHC and all I have are 512mb18:38
canthus13Hmm... nope. :(19:38
* canthus13 has a couple of 256mb somewhere..maybe.19:39
Cheri703my dad found a 1gb mini and an adapter, I have a 1gb mini and adapter, so I'm going to take those two and my two 512 and I should have PLENTY of storage for what I need each day19:39
canthus13Heh. cool.20:04
Cheri703considering playing with RAW images...I downloaded chdk for my canon camera and now have that capability...20:10
