[02:07] If you were to make a new file server...one giant volume with folders for each share [02:07] or one volume per share? [03:04] Good question. [03:50] Have you ever used Launchpad PPAs with Debian? [03:54] Hello [04:45] Unit193: Nope. [04:50] canthus13: oh lordy, what? [04:51] hahaha this is great [04:51] * paultag reads through [04:53] oh jeez [04:53] this is brilliant [04:54] Gah!!! One of their circuts is wrong [04:55] they need a diode to prevent the transistor from burning out if the realy backlash is too strong [04:55] because the tranny is only 5v [04:55] i've blown 2N2222A's off a relay before [04:55] Oh wait, nvmd [04:55] there it is [04:56] hahahahah [04:56] echo cappuccino >/dev/coffee [04:57] The 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] Um... fucking brilliant? [04:57] Yes? [04:58] I wonder if I can get my crappy coffie machine talking back to my box [04:58] 5. Building the Turing Complete Coffee Machine [04:58] Oh you fucking coy bastard [04:59] This 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. [05:01] I need to do this [05:01] canthus13: you, fine sir, rule. [05:25] paultag: :) [05:25] I Kinda figured it'd pique your interest... [05:35] paultag: if yours doesn't do what you need, scour the thrift stores, coffee makers ABOUND [05:37] I may attempt to make one as my first real project. :) [05:41] canthus13: :) [05:41] Cheri703: hell yeah! :) [05:41] canthus13: dude, I need to write a generic interface kernel module [05:42] :) [05:42] then just post hardware interface schematics on my blag or something [05:42] I could migrate my irssi session over to the coffee maker... :) [05:42] humm, I wish I could set up a pump against my water line [05:42] canthus13: totally! [05:43] then I could fill the coffee maker with water, then brew [05:43] actually, wait [05:43] Not a pump. just a solenoid. [05:43] canthus13: truth [05:43] the line's already pressurized. [05:44] could scavenge what you need from an ice maker. [05:44] why 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 units [05:44] a little 1/4 cup spinnything should work for the hopper [05:45] Hmm... [05:46] it's be nice to get the "storage units" to have small little contact points going up the side [05:46] so you can see the water level [05:46] and show it like the battery power in the top right [05:47] Hmm... Just as long as it doesn't crash all the time like my wife's coffee maker. :P [05:47] :) [05:47] read on /dev/coffeepot will return fill status, and writing to it will produce that many cups [05:47] that'd be brilliant [05:48] Haha! I could really get into this... And I don't drink coffee. But my wife would love it. :) [05:48] it'd be brilliant :) [05:49] I sense a new project [05:50] only issue is finding tubing that can handle hot coffee [05:50] don't want to use plastic [05:50] perhaps I'll get some new oil lines, the braided steel ones [05:50] those handle oil off the engine [05:50] ach, but the filter will be crappy [05:50] True... [05:51] Hmm.. Steel filters. My wife has one for her one-cup coffee maker. [05:51] yeah, I've got one too, but you still have to empty it and wash it out upside down [05:52] OK I need to go to bed before I get too into this [05:52] canthus13: thanks so much man, this is bloody brilliant [05:52] BBL :) [05:52] No problem. :) [05:57] might give you guys some ideas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-3gU44q6Y [05:58] * Cheri703 remembered watching it back in the day [14:34] hey all, I missed the meeting wednesday, and I can't find the chat logs, anybody know where they are? [18:38] anyone have a 1 or 2 gb SD card they no longer want/need? /me could do with one for the trip to UDS [18:38] my camera can't take SDHC and all I have are 512mb [19:38] Hmm... nope. :( [19:39] * canthus13 has a couple of 256mb somewhere..maybe. [19:39] my 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 day [20:04] Heh. cool. [20:10] considering playing with RAW images...I downloaded chdk for my canon camera and now have that capability...
