00:07 < mnemoc> the coolest thing is the paper i'll have to write, but my stress level is growing exponentialy
00:08 < rxr> for the uni? or why do you have to write it?
00:12 < mnemoc> for the university but it will be used by paisdigital.org, ... a s.th created some month ago by our governament to massificate computing, thanking like what thailand did
01:21 < valentin> re
01:21 < valentin> damn ultra sparcs - almost no electronic components in there, but a bullet proof metal case that aches like hell when you need to carry it around
01:22 < valentin> 
01:22 < valentin> huh ?
01:22 < valentin> damn copy and paste ... sorry
01:36 < rxr> at least they will survive the next terorist attack at 1 May or when it was at your house?
01:36 < rxr> s/?/ .../
01:37 < valentin> hope so
03:17 < rxr> n8 all - U30 running ROCK+T2 w/ X11 ... - so sleep well world ;-)

11:48 -!- martin [~martin@pD9E723E3.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #t2
11:49 < martin> hi
11:55 < rxr> hi martin
11:56 < rxr> cool - just had a mail completely filled with chinese, japanese or whatever glyphes in my inbox and thunderbird recognized it as junk mail - cool ;-)!
11:59 < rxr> martin: how is komposé ?
12:03 < martin> it's english channel?
12:03 < martin> koennen heut doch alle deutsch hier, oder :)
12:04 < rxr> mnemoc nicht ;-)
12:04 < rxr> feel free to answer in german if you like ...
12:04 < martin> Kompose ist okay, warten wir noch 0.2 versionen ...
12:04 < martin> ... dann wird es auch wirklich funktionieren.
12:04 < rxr> aha ...
12:05 < rxr> and at that day we will have a composition manager that does it right usiing recent X.Org compoisition technology ... ;-)
12:05 < martin> package/graphic ...
12:05 < rxr> you want to package komposé ?
12:06 < martin> man sollte gimp doch unter package/graphic packen.
12:06 < rxr> ok
12:07 < martin> weil sodipodi (gdk2) da liegt und pixieplus (kde).
12:07 < rxr> done
12:08 < rxr> valentin: some nots regarding the U30:
12:08 < valentin> rxr: will you join the meal today ?
12:09 < rxr> - do not touch the power button while the box is running - it does not seem to be a soft button like it is on the U5 and thus immediately powers down and does not shutdown cleanly
12:09 < rxr> - X see nights note - ownership problem
12:09 < rxr> - you need the cross compiler for the kernel - remember me to tar it up ...
12:09 < rxr> - enlightenment16 does not build - unresolved symbols in Imlib2 while final linking ... :-(
12:09 < rxr> (needs investigation)
12:10 < rxr> valentin: I do not think I'll join the meal - do you?
12:11 < valentin> no i don't
12:12 < valentin> i even think i'll take the monitor tomorow, because my arm did not recover fully
12:12 < rxr> when you get it today they have a relaxing day tomorrow ...
12:12 < rxr> (and you have s.th. to play ,-)
12:13 < valentin> you can joint the meal and bring me the monitor afterwards
12:14 < valentin> today i'll be busy cleaning my u30 and finaly hacking the update thingy
12:14 < rxr> cool!
12:14 < rxr> do that - i'll not hold you off ...
12:17 < rxr> that is quite cute, multi-head over serveral remote displays:
12:18 < rxr> Xdmx :1 +xinerama -display idefix:0 -display obelix:0 -display thesun:0 -display sundown:0 -display cruncher:0
12:19 < rxr> _that_ forms a quite coll X server ;-) enought screen space to waste - too bad one monitor is then located at my back and I have to turn around to take a look on the content ...
12:19 < rxr> s/coll/cool/
12:28 < rxr> GCC 3.4.2 RC2 Available
12:49 < rxr> does anyone has a useful translation for stroke input (using a pen) into german?
12:49 < rxr> tablet pc / pda input stuff
12:50 < rxr> Stroke
12:50 < rxr>
12:50 < rxr> Eingabe eines Polygons an das laufende Grafikprogramm, genormt in GKS (2.1) und PHIGS (2.1). Zusammenfassung mehrerer Locator-Eingaben ().
12:52 < rxr> I need a well reading translation for multi stroke geometric shape input ... ;-) ?
13:00 < rxr> then I take "gesten" ...
13:52 < martin> Was benutzte ich in t2 eigentlich fuer DHCP? dhclient? Braucht er eine richtige Konfiguration oder funktioniert er einfach so?
13:58 < rxr> yes, for example dhclient ...
13:59 < rxr> when you use rocknet you just need the dhcp interface in the interface, e.g.:
13:59 < rxr> interface eth0 (some-work-place)
13:59 < rxr> dhcp
13:59 < rxr> and you are done ... ;-)
13:59 < rxr> if you start it manually you do dhclient eth0 IIRC ...
14:14 < rxr> what is the official name for accecibility stuff in german
14:14 < rxr> (hm - nowaday writing technical english is easier than finding german words ...)
14:15 < rxr> accessibility I meant btw
14:16 < martin> hmmm, what accecibility means?
14:17 < rxr> s.th. like this:
14:17 < rxr> XEvIE (X Event Interception Extension): Erlaubt das Abfangen und
14:17 < rxr> Verändern von Maus und Tastatureingaben - auch für die Verbesserung
14:17 < rxr> des Zugangs zum Computer für behinderte Menschen.
14:18 < rxr> bildschirm leser, spracheingabe, gesten, Vergrößerung von Anzeigebereichen unw. usf.
14:18 < rxr> btw the correct spelling is accessibility ... ;-)
14:19 < martin> bildschirm leser, spracheingabe, ... gibt's fuer linux?
14:19 < rxr> is on the way ;-)
14:20 < rxr> some parts do already work ... but in my opinion this is just a prototype state
14:20 < rxr> and the important XEvIE extension is new in X.org ... - so it will work better with the just beeing released X-Server generation ..
14:21 < rxr> martin: I'm just writing the X.Org article for the linux magazin ...
14:21 < rxr> and thus am on the search for well reading german words ;-)
14:28 < martin> ach so, kann man den bald vorab schon mal lesen? ;)
14:30 < rxr> yes - but only limitted circle of people for proofreading and suggestions (I sell the copyright - so it does not have to show up in an alternative way in the world) - I hope tomorrow afternoon ... and only the text version with single image files, since the layouting (into postscript) is done by the magazine ...
14:30 < rxr> as usual
14:32 < martin> yes, it's okay. I'm interested.
14:32 * martin geht essen ..
