01:35:34 <davb> hi there
01:35:35 <paje> hola, davb
01:35:56 <davb> paje, my only friend!
01:35:56 <paje> davb: huh?
01:39:14 <davb> ok, maybe not

01:52:20 <davb> ok i am hooking up my new USB smartmedia card reader
02:04:02 <davb> anyone have any linux/usb experience?
02:14:36 <rbm> I have
02:17:05 <davb> ok, i have USB support compiled in.
02:17:15 <davb> now what?
02:17:16 <paje> i think now is the time to learn :)
02:17:19 <davb> heh
02:17:23 <davb> paje, botsnack
02:17:24 <paje> :)
02:19:52 <rbm> What USB module does your smartcard reader use? You may need to compile a specific module (e.g. for the Visor you need the "visor" module)
02:20:13 <davb> i have not clue :) I'll try to find out.
02:20:17 <davb> I suspect it is not supported
02:20:20 <rbm> Google it up
02:20:25 <davb> because that is the way these things happen
02:22:14 <davb> i might just get it working in windows and not worry about it :)
02:27:52 <rbm> You should try to get it on Linux
02:28:04 <rbm> What way?
02:29:20 <davb> I stupidly buy one that is not suppoted :)
02:34:01 <davb> google reveals nothing :(
02:36:31 <davb> cut-and-paste errors hit scam emails :"For your assistance we have agreed to give you thirty 
02:36:31 <davb> percent (15%) of the total sum at the end of the
02:36:31 <davb> transaction. "
02:37:11 <davb> i suspect I have to reboot or something. there is no way for me to know what device this will be called even if it is detected.
02:41:22 <davb> i found something that might work. kernel-patch, apparetly adds new modules
02:44:09 <davb> i didn't find anything for my reader, but I found some guy at a local college who is working on a project to improve gimp.
02:46:13 <davb> also this:
02:46:15 <davb> http://links.math.rpi.edu/
02:46:15 <oacs-chump> B: http://links.math.rpi.edu/ from davb
02:46:54 <davb> hmmm. how can i find out what chip my reader uses?
02:51:25 <davb> ah, its in the kernel now.
02:51:29 <davb> no patching required
02:52:32 <davb> i can't believe it. it was an option in make menuconfig, and I totally missed it :)
02:52:41 <rbm> * rbm twacks davb
02:54:43 <davb> its not available as a module, goes right in the kernel
02:57:37 <davb> brb, testing new kernel

22:58:51 <paje> wish i knew, starets
22:59:32 <Starets> paje, starets is also an english word which ends in "s" but is not plural
22:59:32 <paje> okay, Starets.
22:59:35 <denshi> paje, mind-wiper?
22:59:36 <paje> no idea, denshi
22:59:46 <Starets> the question mark is throwing it.
22:59:54 <davb> silly paje
23:00:38 <denshi> in the SG episode, they had to stay awake or the pods would eat them.  They spent like 5 on-air minutes mindwiping each other to forget that they needed sleep.
23:00:55 <markd2> hilarity ensues
23:01:21 <denshi> "hey, I got an idea! let's erase our memories!" GOTO start
23:01:24 <Starets> like in MIB with Linda Fiorentino meeting the guys repeatedly?
23:01:35 <denshi> don't remember that film
23:01:45 <Starets> :-)
23:02:01 <Starets> paje, markd2?
23:02:02 <paje> well, markd2 is an improper republican because he uses nuclear bombs on offending directories
23:02:14 <Starets> directories?
23:02:28 <markd2> storage compartments?
23:02:28 <paje> storage compartments
23:02:29 <Starets> shouldn't that be directorates?

23:03:15 <Starets> So how was the TA gig?
23:03:30 <markd2> it rocked.  had a lot of fun
23:03:46 <Starets> You seem terse tonight.
23:03:59 <markd2> kinda tired.  had a band concert this afternoon
23:04:10 <Starets> Cool!  Where?
23:04:44 <markd2> Some little town around here.  Sharpsburg, or Strasburg, or something
23:06:16 <Starets> one day, we're going to clear the space around the piano so I can sit there, and then I'll take lessons and maybe really learn to play.
23:06:28 <markd2> that would be rock(tm)
23:07:09 <Starets> rag, actually.
23:07:32 <Starets> ragtime, I suppose.
