| Kilos | morning all | 06:15 |
| inetpro | good morning | 06:30 |
| trender | moning inetpro | 06:31 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 06:33 |
| magespawn | good morning y'all | 07:06 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 07:08 |
| Kilos | hi not_found | 07:11 |
| not_found | alo | 07:12 |
| Squirm | hi | 07:32 |
| Squirm | trender: this isn't the place to show your boobs. I'm sure there are channels for that | 07:32 |
| Squirm | :P | 07:32 |
| trender | those are eyes man :) | 07:34 |
| trender | eish | 07:34 |
| not_found | >.< | 07:47 |
| Squirm | trender: I know :P | 07:48 |
| Squirm | but they don't just look like eyes ^^ | 07:48 |
| trender | ( | ) << and this is a butterfly | 07:50 |
| trender | :) | 07:50 |
| trender | mornin mr Georgl | 08:12 |
| Georgl | good morning trender | 08:12 |
| Georgl | any progress? | 08:13 |
| trender | hrm | 08:13 |
| trender | yea yea always | 08:13 |
| Kilos | hi Georgl | 08:13 |
| Georgl | morning Kilos | 08:13 |
| trender | i have plenty resources mate | 08:13 |
| trender | in all countries | 08:13 |
| trender | im communicating with the engineer dirrectly now in korea | 08:14 |
| Georgl | that's great | 08:14 |
| trender | i dont expect thier sollution to be the best even | 08:15 |
| Georgl | but i am sure a step in the right direction? | 08:17 |
| trender | means to an end yea | 08:18 |
| trender | at least to fix 100 boxes fast | 08:18 |
| trender | arg well mabee just move on to other ventures | 08:20 |
| trender | the cubieboard interests me next | 08:20 |
| trender | im gonna see what those can do | 08:21 |
| trender | soon we gonna have stamp linux pcs if there arent any already | 08:25 |
| Georgl | there a bit around already | 08:27 |
| trender | i just want something cheap with a sata interface | 08:27 |
| trender | the cubieboard looks a candidate | 08:27 |
| Georgl | have not looked at as yet | 08:28 |
| trender | the PI is gonna die i think | 08:28 |
| trender | new tech doesnt last long these days | 08:28 |
| Georgl | it has its place out there | 08:28 |
| Georgl | there is still a huge following for pi's all around. | 08:29 |
| trender | i odnt even know why people pruduce these products for a bowl of rice | 08:29 |
| trender | dont | 08:29 |
| trender | produce..arg | 08:29 |
| trender | i wouldnt produce PI for those prices | 08:29 |
| trender | its insane | 08:29 |
| Squirm | I like the idea behind the Pi | 08:30 |
| trender | people still only buy a handfull in spite of the hype you hear | 08:30 |
| Squirm | trender: I have a Pi, past few days I've been looking through their website | 08:31 |
| Squirm | you should see what people are doing with them | 08:31 |
| trender | ive got some idea what people do with PI | 08:31 |
| Squirm | I'm about to buy another Pi(kinda broke this one and it has 256mb as apposed to the new 512Mb version | 08:32 |
| trender | you looked at cubie ? | 08:32 |
| trender | or do the GPIO things matter to you ? | 08:32 |
| trender | well prices hit the ground on PI now | 08:33 |
| trender | the uk prices look the best..cant tell you why though makes no sence to me | 08:34 |
| trender | need to dig in chinas bins some more | 08:36 |
| Squirm | I want to buy a Pi, a GertBoard and their PiCam will probably be released this month | 08:39 |
| Squirm | the Gertboard is an easy conversion for the GPIO | 08:40 |
| Squirm | gives you Analogue and Digital In/Out and is easily programmable | 08:40 |
| Squirm | sits neatly on top on the Pi | 08:40 |
| magespawn | did you see someone designed a case for pi out of lego? | 08:42 |
| Squirm | magespawn: let me find you a link about Pi and Lego | 08:42 |
| superfly | ohi from ScaleConf | 08:42 |
| Squirm | lo superfly | 08:43 |
| magespawn | hey superfly | 08:43 |
| Squirm | superfly: I think henkj is there too | 08:43 |
| Kilos | hi superfly | 08:43 |
| superfly | Squirm: he is, I saw him earlier | 08:43 |
| superfly | so is ThatGraemeGuy | 08:44 |
| Squirm | I want to be there :/ | 08:44 |
| magespawn | what is it about? | 08:45 |
| Squirm | I need to start making a mission to go to these tech talks | 08:45 |
| Squirm | magespawn: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/iridis-pi-supercomputer.jpg | 08:45 |
| Squirm | raspberry Pi Supercomputer | 08:45 |
| Squirm | housed in Lego | 08:45 |
| superfly | my boss is speaking right now | 08:45 |
| Squirm | http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/raspberry_pi_supercomputer_5.jpg | 08:46 |
| Squirm | there you can see it | 08:46 |
| Squirm | superfly: they need Live Streaming :/ | 08:47 |
| magespawn | very cool, how did they get it all working together? | 08:47 |
| magespawn | software? | 08:47 |
| Squirm | magespawn: yes, I had a look at it | 08:48 |
| Squirm | at the software | 08:48 |
| Squirm | you kind of, make each one a node, controlled by one Pi | 08:48 |
| magespawn | what can it do? processing power? | 08:49 |
| Squirm | so you give your core Pi, say a sum to work out, e.g, to find the root of Pi. Then it spreads the load among all the units | 08:49 |
| Squirm | these huge datacentre wide supercomputers use the exact same principle | 08:49 |
| Squirm | except they run in petaflops, I don't know how much you'd get out of a bank of Pi's | 08:50 |
| magespawn | well it looks like there are about 64 Pi there | 08:51 |
| trender | only loads of fun by the looks of things | 08:51 |
| magespawn | indeed | 08:52 |
| Squirm | there are | 08:52 |
| magespawn | so 700Mhz * 64 | 08:52 |
| magespawn | Maaz 700 * 64 | 08:52 |
| Maaz | magespawn: 44800 | 08:52 |
| magespawn | how to convert Mhz in flops? | 08:53 |
| Squirm | ~4GHz | 08:53 |
| Squirm | uh | 08:53 |
| Squirm | flops is different | 08:53 |
| Squirm | flops is calculations done per second | 08:53 |
| superfly | magespawn: you can't, they're completely different | 08:53 |
| Squirm | Hertz is speed | 08:53 |
| Squirm | well | 08:53 |
| Squirm | frequency | 08:53 |
| tonberryE352 | 64 very slow 700mhz processors... | 08:54 |
| trender | is also depends on the architecture risc cores tend to be 1:1 per clock | 08:54 |
| trender | so mips could be the same | 08:54 |
| trender | could be rather fast | 08:54 |
| tonberryE352 | a single pi is about as fast as a 300mhzish p2 | 08:55 |
| trender | could well be likely | 08:55 |
| Squirm | magespawn: http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/f/e/d/fede3df8fbbb36650e89a724c6ae0fe3.png I'll leave it up to you to calculate that | 08:55 |
| Squirm | 700MHz ARM processor | 08:56 |
| Squirm | so I guess.. | 08:56 |
| tonberryE352 | only practical use for a pi cluster is to experiment with or teach cluster computing | 08:56 |
| tonberryE352 | not to do real calculations | 08:56 |
| Squirm | they were just messing around when they did that | 08:56 |
| trender | yea its not gonna give you supercomputing | 08:57 |
| tonberryE352 | a single modern quad core cpu could more or less keep up with 64 PIs | 08:57 |
| trender | just a nice experiment | 08:57 |
| tonberryE352 | at least it looked that way last time i did some very quick math | 08:57 |
| tonberryE352 | and keeping 64 PIs going will be a task in itself | 08:57 |
| trender | very hard to equate to many vairable to considder | 08:58 |
| trender | variables | 08:58 |
| trender | its not supposed to compared to pcs | 08:59 |
| Squirm | if I had R400 in my bank account I'd buy a Pi right now | 08:59 |
| Squirm | :/ | 08:59 |
| * tonberryE352 has 2 | 09:00 | |
| Squirm | tonberryE352: I broke mine | 09:00 |
| trender | you not bitcoin mining hard enough Squirm lol | 09:00 |
| Squirm | but I want to stick it onto my quadcopter. Hook up a webcam and WiFi dongle and stream wirelessly | 09:00 |
| Squirm | trender: obviously not :/ | 09:00 |
| trender | and the rpice of warcraft gold has hit the floor :) | 09:01 |
| trender | price | 09:01 |
| magespawn | http://elinux.org/RPi_Performance | 09:03 |
| magespawn | it is a nice toy | 09:04 |
| magespawn | you could use it for simple household automation | 09:05 |
| trender | youd want to leverage its muscle with something meaningfull | 09:05 |
| Squirm | magespawn: that's why I want a Gerboard | 09:06 |
| Squirm | it provides an easy interface for the GPIO | 09:06 |
| magespawn | http://hackaday.com/2012/09/12/64-rasberry-pis-turned-into-a-supercomputer/ | 09:07 |
| magespawn | according to that you would need about 1.4 Million Raspi's to get into the top 500 | 09:07 |
| magespawn | if could get that many pi's it would be a record on its own | 09:08 |
| tonberryE352 | it always bothered me that they used 64 seperate pi power supplies instead of a few big ones... | 09:08 |
| magespawn | redundancy maybe | 09:09 |
| tonberryE352 | more likely they were CSes and not engineers | 09:09 |
| tonberryE352 | or lazy | 09:10 |
| magespawn | that article says is can all be run from a single 13A supply | 09:10 |
| magespawn | s/is/is | 09:10 |
| magespawn | s/id/it | 09:10 |
| tonberryE352 | http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~sjc/raspberrypi/pi_supercomputer_southampton.htm | 09:10 |
| magespawn | lol | 09:10 |
| tonberryE352 | then why use 64... | 09:10 |
| magespawn | no idea | 09:10 |
| tonberryE352 | 13A? | 09:10 |
| tonberryE352 | pi needs at least 500ma each | 09:11 |
| tonberryE352 | usually more | 09:11 |
| Squirm | Maaz: 13000/64 | 09:15 |
| Maaz | Squirm: 203.125 | 09:15 |
| Squirm | I see what you mean | 09:15 |
| magespawn | this makes for interesting readin especially the table showing the costs | 09:27 |

| inetpro | Kilos: what are you doing wrong again? | 11:06 |
| Kilos | i swapped from maverick to kde inetpro | 11:07 |
| inetpro | uitgevang! | 11:07 |
| charl | good afternoon | 11:14 |
| charl | Maaz: coffee on | 11:14 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 11:14 | |
| magespawn | Maaz coffee please | 11:14 |
| Maaz | magespawn: Sure | 11:14 |
| magespawn | large | 11:15 |
| magespawn | Maaz Large | 11:15 |
| Maaz | In a beer mug just for you magespawn | 11:15 |
| magespawn | hey charl | 11:15 |
| Kilos | lol | 11:16 |
| Kilos | lo charl | 11:16 |
| Kilos | Maaz: coffee please | 11:16 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Done | 11:16 |
| Kilos | Maaz: large | 11:17 |

| gaffa | hi and thank you, Kilos :) | 16:20 |
| Kilos | tell us abnout yourself gaffa | 16:20 |
| gaffa | I'm from Denmark. A programmer using debian as an operating system. I love Sibusiso Zuma, please convince him to come back and play for FC Copenhagen ;P | 16:22 |
| Kilos | lol | 16:24 |
| Kilos | how did you find this channel | 16:25 |
| Kilos | we have a few peeps in foreign countries here | 16:25 |
| gaffa | I was just looking to socialize with a broader bunch of free software people and started joining local irc channels for ubuntu and debian in languages I understand or almost do ;) | 16:27 |
| Kilos | ah well you are welcome | 16:27 |
| gaffa | Thank you very much :) | 16:28 |
| gaffa | How is Ubuntu doing in South Africa? | 16:29 |
| Kilos | good i think. we love it. got a couple of ubuntu dev guys here too and python experts | 16:32 |
| Kilos | some use other linux flavours though | 16:32 |
| gaffa | Sounds great. See ya, the Pizza is here! :) | 16:39 |
| Kilos | lol | 16:42 |
