| nhaines | I am back from Microcenter and I have a Raspberry Pi 2. | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| nhaines | Step 2: find a reason to have a Raspberry Pi 2. | 01:36 |
| ianorlin | not sure I like running stuff off microsd card | 01:36 |
| philipballew | pleia2, pm? | 03:04 |
| * pleia2 returns from evening travels | 04:34 | |
| nhaines | pleia2: _o/ | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | hey nhaines | 04:38 |
| DonkeyHotei | hi | 04:38 |
| pleia2 | evening | 04:39 |
| nhaines | I was playing with LXDE tonight. I hate the mouse accceleration but everything else is great. | 04:40 |
| pleia2 | can you tune mouse things in lxde these days? | 04:42 |
| pleia2 | I was using it on my ppc powerbook a while back and mouse was soooo slow, had to use 3rd party tools to tune back then I think | 04:43 |
| DonkeyHotei | this might be a question for ianorlin | 04:43 |
| ianorlin | there is keyboard and mouse | 04:44 |
| nhaines | pleia2: you can crank the acceleration way up and then if you pretend really hard you imagine the mouse isn't lagging by a quarter of a second anymore. | 04:44 |
| ianorlin | you can change it under preferneces | 04:44 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: ah, doh | 04:44 |
| pleia2 | ianorlin: thanks | 04:45 |
| nhaines | I installed Raspbian on my PRPi2 and installed LibreOffice. Slow to open, but opening a small file was snappy. | 04:45 |
| elky | what's the specs on the 2? | 04:46 |
| pleia2 | actually-useful-computer | 04:46 |
| nhaines | +1 | 04:47 |
| DonkeyHotei | elky: twice the ram | 04:47 |
| nhaines | 900 MHz quadcore ARMv7, 1GB RAM. | 04:47 |
| nhaines | Six times the computer. | 04:47 |
| elky | how much are they now? | 04:47 |
| nhaines | Still $35. | 04:47 |
| DonkeyHotei | same price | 04:47 |
| nhaines | Also form factor. | 04:48 |
| ianorlin | I had the wierd ides of putting a tv in a table and then hooking a computer up to an hdmi port and running inkscape to run a map for dnd | 04:50 |
| nhaines | Tag the minatures with NFC and you're all set. | 04:51 |
| DonkeyHotei | ianorlin: why not a tablet? | 04:51 |
| ianorlin | I am not sure it would be big enough for multiple players to see at once | 04:52 |
| nhaines | Because 30 inch maps don't scale to 7" tablet screens? | 04:52 |
| ianorlin | inkscape chess could work | 04:52 |
| ianorlin | although having a tabletop program that could run on an ubuntu vps and you could just connect to with a browser would be awesome | 04:53 |
| ianorlin | but you would need stuff for maps which would take a while | 04:54 |
| DonkeyHotei | you could use a 10" tablet instead of 7" | 04:54 |
| ianorlin | yeah but how would 3 people see the map at the same time | 04:55 |
| DonkeyHotei | with good eyesight | 04:55 |
| elky | ianorlin: glass table + pocket projector maybe | 04:55 |
| ianorlin | or I could hook the map up to a desktop montior and use a laptop better | 04:55 |
| murdamax | ... | 13:25 |
| Roguehorse | The problem with imaging the map to the table is hiding and unhiding the visible area | 18:00 |
| Roguehorse | our DM used a laminated matt and dry erase markers then only exposed to the level that vision was available | 18:11 |
| Roguehorse | it's bulky and time consuming, but worked | 18:11 |
| philipballew | pleia2, quick pm? | 23:34 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: shoot | 23:34 |
