[14:08]  * tiwake pokes r3dd0g 
[14:34] <r3dd0g> HEY
[14:34] <r3dd0g> keep that thing to yourself
[14:35] <tiwake> heh
[14:35] <tiwake> going to go to the local ford dealer and see whats around
[14:36] <r3dd0g> nice
[14:36] <tiwake> cant get anything
[14:36] <tiwake> but I really don't like what a lot of other companies are doing to their car designs
[14:37] <tiwake> don't like what ford is doing either, but less so than seemingly everyone else
[14:38] <r3dd0g> yeah, im a little oldschool
[14:38] <tiwake> it does give me happy feelings having moved to texas and seeing all the fords and chevys around
[14:38] <tiwake> :3
[14:39] <r3dd0g> i dont particularly care for all the computer shit
[14:39] <tiwake> I don't mind it... if it were open source
[14:39] <r3dd0g> i have an 88 f150 im fixing up now
[14:39] <tiwake> turns out ford has an open source CAN thing
[14:40] <tiwake> http://openxcplatform.com/
[14:40] <tiwake> it only reads from the CAN buss, but its in the right direction, and only ford seems to be supporting it at the moment
[14:40] <r3dd0g> ooooh yeah, i remember reading about this
[14:41] <tiwake> it also turns out CAN buss hacking looks kinda easy
[14:41] <tiwake> so *shrug*
[14:42] <tiwake> but yeah, it does mean you can build an instrument cluster that plugs in easily because of that OpenXC thing
[14:42] <tiwake> or at least it should be pretty easy
[14:42] <tiwake> better be
[14:42] <r3dd0g> im going to have to dig real deep into this. probably after October, but
[14:43] <tiwake> looks like there are some fun tools to do CAN hacking with these days https://www.canb.us/
[14:44] <r3dd0g> they didnt cron their letsencrypt cert
[14:45] <tiwake> after reading up on the CAN bus thing, I've kinda wanted to get a new car just to break into it
[14:45] <tiwake> :3
[14:45] <tiwake> then I found that OpenXC thing
[14:46] <tiwake> http://hackaday.com/2013/10/21/can-hacking-introductions/
[14:47] <tiwake> embedded systems are so fun
[14:48] <r3dd0g> bookmarked. i gotta run to the office. damn on call scheduled = /
[14:48] <tiwake> I need to get an oscilloscope
[22:58] <tiwake> r3dd0g: hey, you get a chance to look at the CAN bus stuff?
[22:59] <r3dd0g> no, been working priority tickets all damn day
[22:59] <tiwake> doing what?
[23:00] <r3dd0g> I'm a virtualization engineer, today is the completion of my on call rotation
[23:01] <tiwake> what does virtuatlization engineer mean?
[23:01] <tiwake> you fix virtual reality headsets?
[23:01] <tiwake> :P
[23:02] <r3dd0g> lol
[23:02] <r3dd0g> vmware

[23:03] <tiwake> google?
[23:04] <r3dd0g> oh I think we're bigger
[23:04] <tiwake> sounds like some weight loss is needed
[23:05] <r3dd0g> i should like those numbers up
[23:05] <tiwake> I think I want a ford fiesta ST
[23:05] <tiwake> its a dinky little car thats turbocharged pushing just shy of 200hp
[23:05] <r3dd0g> i rented on of those, i liked it
[23:06] <tiwake> only the ST is supercharged
[23:12] <r3dd0g> nice
