[02:07] <thafreak> If you were to make a new file server...one giant volume with folders for each share
[02:07] <thafreak> or one volume per share?
[03:04] <canthus13> Good question.
[03:50] <Unit193> Have you ever used Launchpad PPAs with Debian?
[03:54] <dmcglone1> Hello
[04:45] <canthus13> Unit193: Nope.
[04:50] <paultag> canthus13: oh lordy, what?
[04:51] <paultag> hahaha this is great
[04:51]  * paultag reads through
[04:53] <paultag> oh jeez
[04:53] <paultag> this is brilliant
[04:54] <paultag> Gah!!! One of their circuts is wrong
[04:55] <paultag> they need a diode to prevent the transistor from burning out if the realy backlash is too strong
[04:55] <paultag> because the tranny is only 5v
[04:55] <paultag> i've blown 2N2222A's off a relay before
[04:55] <paultag> Oh wait, nvmd
[04:55] <paultag> there it is
[04:56] <paultag> hahahahah
[04:56] <paultag> echo cappuccino >/dev/coffee
[04:57] <paultag> 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] <paultag> Um... fucking brilliant?
[04:57] <paultag> Yes?
[04:58] <paultag> I wonder if I can get my crappy coffie machine talking back to my box
[04:58] <paultag> 5. Building the Turing Complete Coffee Machine
[04:58] <paultag> Oh you fucking coy bastard
[04:59] <paultag> 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] <paultag> I need to do this
[05:01] <paultag> canthus13: you, fine sir, rule.
[05:25] <canthus13> paultag: :)
[05:25] <canthus13> I Kinda figured it'd pique your interest...
[05:35] <Cheri703> paultag: if yours doesn't do what you need, scour the thrift stores, coffee makers ABOUND
[05:37] <canthus13> I may attempt to make one as my first real project. :)
[05:41] <paultag> canthus13: :)
[05:41] <paultag> Cheri703: hell yeah! :)
[05:41] <paultag> canthus13: dude, I need to write a generic interface kernel module
[05:42] <canthus13> :)
[05:42] <paultag> then just post hardware interface schematics on my blag or something
[05:42] <canthus13> I could migrate my irssi session over to the coffee maker... :)
[05:42] <paultag> humm, I wish I could set up a pump against my water line
[05:42] <paultag> canthus13: totally!
[05:43] <paultag> then I could fill the coffee maker with water, then brew
[05:43] <paultag> actually, wait
[05:43] <canthus13> Not a pump. just a solenoid.
[05:43] <paultag> canthus13: truth
[05:43] <canthus13> the line's already pressurized.
[05:44] <canthus13> could scavenge what you need from an ice maker.
[05:44] <paultag> 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] <paultag> a little 1/4 cup spinnything should work for the hopper
[05:45] <canthus13> Hmm...
[05:46] <paultag> it's be nice to get the "storage units" to have small little contact points going up the side
[05:46] <paultag> so you can see the water level
[05:46] <paultag> and show it like the battery power in the top right
[05:47] <canthus13> Hmm... Just as long as it doesn't crash all the time like my wife's coffee maker. :P
[05:47] <paultag> :)
[05:47] <paultag> read on /dev/coffeepot will return fill status, and writing to it will produce that many cups
[05:47] <paultag> that'd be brilliant
[05:48] <canthus13> Haha! I could really get into this... And I don't drink coffee.  But my wife would love it. :)
[05:48] <paultag> it'd be brilliant :)
[05:49] <paultag> I sense a new project
[05:50] <paultag> only issue is finding tubing that can handle hot coffee
[05:50] <paultag> don't want to use plastic
[05:50] <paultag> perhaps I'll get some new oil lines, the braided steel ones
[05:50] <paultag> those handle oil off the engine
[05:50] <paultag> ach, but the filter will be crappy
[05:50] <canthus13> True...
[05:51] <canthus13> Hmm.. Steel filters. My wife has one for her one-cup coffee maker.
[05:51] <paultag> yeah, I've got one too, but you still have to empty it and wash it out upside down
[05:52] <paultag> OK I need to go to bed before I get too into this
[05:52] <paultag> canthus13: thanks so much man, this is bloody brilliant
[05:52] <paultag> BBL :)
[05:52] <canthus13> No problem. :)
[05:57] <Cheri703> 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] <dmcglone> hey all, I missed the meeting wednesday, and I can't find the chat logs, anybody know where they are?
[18:38] <Cheri703> 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] <Cheri703> my camera can't take SDHC and all I have are 512mb
[19:38] <canthus13> Hmm... nope. :(
[19:39]  * canthus13 has a couple of 256mb somewhere..maybe.
[19:39] <Cheri703> 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] <canthus13> Heh. cool.
[20:10] <Cheri703> considering playing with RAW images...I downloaded chdk for my canon camera and now have that capability...
