--- You are now known as adi|home
<Bagder> hey adia
<Bagder> nice playlsit fix
<adi|home> thanks :)
* adi|home finally did something productive
<adi|home> i figured 255 was a good size...
<adi|home> 8shrugs*
<Bagder> yes, its fine
<adi|home> OH MY GOD!
<adi|home> rockbox.. on my recorder?!!!
* adi|home does backflips
<Bagder> does it rock?
<adi|home> but the text is _very_ pale
<adi|home> dunno yet :)
<Bagder> hehe
<Linus> adi|home: the paleness is interesting
<adi|home> hmm problem thought
<Linus> did you build it yourself
<adi|home> no..
<adi|home> its the one from the builds off the site
<adi|home> i don't have a cross compiler yet
<Linus> ok
<Linus> the LCD contrast is an issue in lcd.c
<adi|home> and interesting.. it dont play nice with the dc plugged in.
<Bagder> Linus: its not that pale on yours is it?
<Linus> Bagder: no
<Linus> adi|home: "play nice"?
<adi|home> i plug the dc in and it reboots to recharge mode
<adi|home> i leave it in
<adi|home> and press on, it reboots.. pauses, and jumps back to recharge mode
<Linus> wow!
<adi|home> ?
<adi|home> ned to increase logo display time
<Linus> wow! as in "what the heck"
<adi|home> i see it for like 1/10th a sec.. and its gone
<adi|home> am i the only person that has had this happ
<Linus> adi|home: we don't want to show the logo longer time than the setup needs
<Linus> and right now it displays a little late
<Bagder> Linus: why did you move the logo showing to after all the init?
<adi|home> got ya.
<Linus> Bagder: because it tries to load the logo from disk
<Bagder> not anymore
<Linus> i could have put it before the last two calls, and gained a millisecond
<Bagder> you can have it after the lcd_init() now, can't you?
<adi|home> okay.. off to bed for real :)
<Bagder> night adi|home
<Linus> Bagder: perhaps now, but not when i committed that change
<Bagder> then too actually ;-)
<Linus> oh maybe the commit mail was late
<Bagder> my fix was ~40 minutes before yours ;)
<Linus> :-)
<Linus> Then move it up!
<Bagder> yessir, will do!
<Bagder> *done*
* Zagor is now officially a counter-strike consultant :)
* Bagder hands Zagor the "professional gamer" sticker
<dwihno> Check the latest post in the mailing list
<Zagor> yup, that's cool
<dwihno> That URL should be placed on the rockbox site.
<Zagor> hmm. the "hardware mods" page, maybe?
<Bagder> yes
<Bagder> or possibly "related projects"
<dwihno> Have you seen such a joystick earlier?
<Zagor> yes, he has mailed about it before
<dwihno> mkay
<dwihno> One of those would be cute
<dwihno> Although pretty useless without a display
<dwihno> stop/play/pause/volume perhaps
<Zagor> you can't have a display without hacking the archos
<dwihno> :/
<dwihno> well, I guess you can't have everything
<dwihno> the official remote from archos, does it have display?
<Zagor> no
<Zagor> the remote control plug only has data-in (into the archos) so there is no way to transmit data back to the remote. that's why you can't have a display
<Zagor> brb
<-- Zagor has quit ("Client Exiting")
--> ironi (ironi@as2-5-7.j.bonet.se) has joined #rockbox
<ironi> hi
<ironi> Bagder: there?
<Bagder> yah
<ironi> im working on a small sms thingy
<ironi> I considered using smash as server and phpsmash as client
<ironi> is it easy to install and configure?
--> Zagor (~bjst@labb.contactor.se) has joined #rockbox
<Bagder> never tried phpsmash
<Bagder> smash itself is pretty easy
<Bagder> the tricky part is if you want to tweak a plugin or something
<ironi> wel the plugins you have links toon your page
<ironi> don't say that they actually are plugins for smash
<Bagder> smash uses plugins
<Zagor> links to plugins?
<ironi> well yeah
<ironi> freenet and so on
<ironi> cause that is what im aiming at
<ironi> web-based sms services
<Zagor> yes, the links are to external programs you can call with the "shell" smash plugin
<ironi> ok
<ironi> so can you specify plugin to use from the client?
<ironi> and params to the client
<Zagor> you can specify which operator to use. the details are defined in the server config
<ironi> ok
<ironi> hm
<ironi> maybe i should use linuxsms for what I am doing
<ironi> just rebuild it a bit
<ironi> its not very compliated thing to do
<Zagor> that's for you to decide :) what do you want to do?
<ironi> Zagor: a project for my fellow siemens s45/me45 users
<ironi> im going to make a compiled wml page that they can store in the small file archive on the phone
<ironi> in it, they will be able to enter username, password and sms number & message
<ironi> press send and it will send it through the server
<ironi> just trying it out for fun...
<ironi> which gives virtually free sms through gprs
<Zagor> i'd recommend smash for that, since it has proper queueing. you don't want to reinvent that, trust me :)
<ironi> why not sending messages at once?
<ironi> Zagor: becuase of the load?
<Zagor> to save bandwith == money
<ironi> well
<Zagor> also many use dialup, so you want to keep down the number of calls
<ironi> yeah money for the users, you're right
<ironi> keep down the number of calls...now im not following
<Zagor> most people use GSM operators' official dial-up SMS servers
<Bagder> but ironi isn't
<Bagder> he doesn't necessarily need queueing
<Zagor> i know. but it's still a good idea to queue, to avoid many parallel connections to the service
<ironi> Zagor: for bandwidth
<ironi> Zagor: so gsm operators have a number one can call to send sms?
<Zagor> that, and to avoid getting blocked for over-use...
<ironi> How expensive is that anyway
<Zagor> mostly it's priced the same as a mobile call
<ironi> ok
<ironi> well
<ironi> smash.cgf not found
<ironi> cfg
<ironi> hm..
<ironi> oh.
<Zagor> smashd --config <file>
<ironi> i see
<ironi> great commenting in the smash.cfg :-P
<Zagor> it's a hackers-only file ;)
<ironi> i put config, smash binarys and plugins in /usr/local/bin/smash
<ironi> maybe thats politically incorrect
<ironi> =)
<Zagor> that's fine
<ironi> is smashd very resource demanding?
<Bagder> no
<ironi> there it goes, up n running
<Zagor> the one we have running has spend 2 cpu seconds since june 1st :)
<ironi> hehe
<ironi> well
<ironi> now i need to send messages to it
<Zagor> ironi: let's go to #smash instead. ok?
<ironi> maybe easiest to send wml page to a php page, and from the php page sent it to the server
<Zagor> woobiedooobie. i'm browsing files with Rockbox on my recorder
<Zagor> the screen update is horrible slow :(
<dwihno> :/
<Bagder> why is that you think?
<dwihno> vsync? :)
<Zagor> i don't know. i just know when i scroll down, you can see the screen clear and then redraw. and you don't see that with the archos firmware
<Zagor> and the contrast is waaaay too low
<Zagor> but WOWSERS the logo is cool! :)
<Zagor> in fact, it seems Rockbox actually boots faster than the original firmware.
<dwihno> :O
<dwihno> Zagor: cool stuff
<dwihno> Mail the ajz to me :)
<Zagor> http://bjorn.haxx.se/rockbox/recorder/archos.ajz
<ironi> now i wish i had a recorder
<dwihno> *awating bootup*
<Zagor> Linus: is lower value higher contrast, or the opposite?
<Linus> I don't know. I guess higher numbers gives higher contrast
<Zagor> testing
<Linus> but it's not that easy
<Zagor> no?
<Linus> the contrast setting (according to the solomon data sheet) is an iterative process
<Zagor> tetris ROCKS! :)
<Linus> you have to continue setting the contrast until the status resister says it is done
<Zagor> oh
<Linus> register
