09:51 jnettlet On the ferry that is.
09:55 hste jnettlet:on a ferry today?
09:56 jnettlet Hste yeah heading to the other side of Denmark
09:58 hste jnettlet:did u find a way to trick the vpu to load?
09:58 jnettlet hste, i think i have the vpu problem sorted out. Have my c1 with me to do some holiday hacking on.

10:25 hste but I guess I'll have to be a bit social and away from the computer.....
10:26 jnettlet :-)
10:31 hste jnettlet: if u have problem with network u can try this: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/173253-worlds-first-wireless-molecular-network-uses-rubbing-alcohol-to-send-text-messages#disqus_thread :)
10:33 jnettlet rabeeh did you see someone pointed me to Sam errata that may explain the network latency with cpuidle?
11:39 rabeeh jnettlet: yes i'v noticed that
11:40 jnettlet rabeeh do you think it is something to look in to?
11:41 rabeeh yes. the latency is too big
11:41 rabeeh jnettlet: for the cts test results i'v sent you; notice that testing is done with a webcam connected
11:41 rabeeh this is in order to emulate the camera interface
11:43 jnettlet rabeeh okay. Is the image anywhere for download?
11:43 rabeeh http://cubox-i.com/install-os-on-micro-sd-flash-card/
11:44 jnettlet Okay great
11:44 rabeeh i'v already fixed few of those; but don't bother with it.
11:44 rabeeh i'm on top of it.
11:44 rabeeh i'm planning of releasing out initial android sources next week
11:45 rabeeh hopefully by then i'll be done with the cts
11:45 jnettlet Exciting
12:12 MikeSeth rabeeh: is it true that some shipments were delayed because of microsd trouble?
12:16 MikeSeth ooh new crew member
12:17 _rmk 12:17 * _rmk_ continues doing battle with BT
12:18 MikeSeth _rmk_: won't be one of those horrible broadcom combos would it
12:20 _rmk_ dunno, but the line syncs at under 5mbps on fttc
12:21 MikeSeth wait, BT not as in bluetooth?
12:22 dv__ british telecom
12:22 MikeSeth oh
12:22 MikeSeth that's a double "sorry" for me then
12:23 _rmk_ dv: there are other names with those two initials, some of which may be more appropriate
12:24 _rmk_ I had an appointment for them to come out and investigate yesterday afternoon... they allegedly came back with "we can see there's a fault so we cancelled the engineer"
12:25 xraxor man i think BT are too expensive
12:25 dv__ _rmk_: I am reminded of this priceless text about the angry NTL customer
12:25 _rmk_ xraxor: the ISP in this case isn't BT :)
12:27 xraxor ok, thats good. but bad as they wont move their ass any faster
12:28 _rmk_ xraxor: one of the issues is that BT was broken up by people who don't like monopolies. the result is we now have a separate sub-organisation of BT called openreach who handle the copper. they're only accountable to BT/ISP...
12:28 xraxor im on TT not bad so far
12:28 _rmk_ but if they're called out to do investigations, they can end up charging a ?140 charge to the end user if they deem there to be nothing wrong with the BT/their side
12:28 xraxor well i guess i dnt kno much about them apart from BB pricing lol
12:29 xraxor your ISP cant do anything about it then?
12:29 xraxor well good luck solving your problem b4 xmas
12:30 _rmk_ all the ISP can do is play the game: keep bouncing the fault back to openwretch until they get a clue
12:31 hste _rmk_: how is the fiber market in UK. Most people still use copper?
12:31 _rmk_ and hope that openwretch don't make any stupid charges
12:31 _rmk_ hste: fttp is hellishly expensive (you have to pay for roads to be dug up etc)
12:32 _rmk_ so the best is fttc... or cable
12:33 _rmk_ and for cable there's very little choice, and I suspect getting a more than 1 IP on cable is not easy (and their site is unbrowsable in firefox)
12:34 hste _rmk_: to get more than one IP isn't easy here in Norway either
12:35 _rmk_ I've had a /29 for the last 13 years, I'm not going to give it up (because it'd mean sorting out some proper hosting somewhere)
12:43 hste _rmk_: but on IPv6 its easier. My isp gives /60 on IPv6
12:44 _rmk_ I now have a /64 and a /56 as well as 6to4
