I must admit I use M$ stuff too.. at work at least 16:56:21 like it or not, a large user base does drive development forward 16:56:36 I wonder about development with m$ stuff... 16:56:37 ;) 16:56:45 not to mention improvement 16:57:31 anyways... 16:57:42 linux has some strong points, and some week points 16:57:45 the bottleneck seems to be that NML must specifically be modified for each new requirement 16:58:14 and not only in one place 16:58:37 but.. then again, depends on what you need to add 16:58:46 whereas the M$ environment simply requires the variables be "exposed"? 16:58:50 for a lot of stuff you don't need to add NML messages 16:59:27 but that depends on what you want to accomplish 16:59:33 showing my lack of knowledge of modern high level languages 8-) 16:59:48 one thing that would be usefull is to add classicladder to emc 17:00:06 but here there are a few differential opinions 17:00:19 8-) 17:00:31 I'd like to see classicladder connected to hal (to modify hal-pins) 17:00:43 paul thinks it would be best to connect it through NML to emc 17:00:54 both have their pro and cons 17:01:27 if you connect it through NML you can distribute it easily (e.g. classicladder running on a different machine) 17:01:41 if you connect it through hal, you won't have to extend NML 17:02:38 could the current EMC2 environment support multiple HALs on multiple machines? 17:02:54 that would seem to bypass the issue 17:03:54 that would be what I thought too 17:04:08 have classicladder connected to IO stuff through HAL on one machine 17:04:17 and connect to emc through NML on another machine 17:04:30 but I don't know if this is the best thing 17:04:38 it breaks IO into pieces 17:04:46 stepping on one machine 17:04:51 limits on another 17:04:59 I think we need to discuss this more 17:05:11 maybe tomorrow, when more folks are around 17:05:25 anyways... gotta head home now 17:05:33 well that should happen when all the principal players are available, later 17:05:46 yes 17:05:48 bye 17:05:53 alex_joni has left #emc 17:06:14 SteveStallings has quit 17:39:31 picnet has joined #emc 19:02:29 slomo has joined #emc 19:03:32 anybody home ? 19:20:16 picnet has quit 19:35:42 Anyone else ever get rayh's email labelled as spam by spam assasin? he's on a bad server or something. 19:37:23 X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.1 required=4.5 tests=AWL,BAYES_00, 19:37:23 RCVD_IN_NJABL_PROXY,RCVD_IN_SORBS_MISC autolearn=no version=3.0.1 19:37:38 so, yes, but my autowhitelist and bayes more than compensate for it 19:37:52 if you are not using bayes and autowhitelist, you should. 19:40:26 had any feed back inre 4.14 problems ? 19:40:37 haven't heard anything about it 19:42:05 I don't run my server, and I don't know procmail, or how to setup the whitelist for freebsd. 19:42:15 my server = my mail server 19:42:19 just installed to this one, 800 mghz Mem: 659152896 lots of lock-ups and freezing of the system 19:42:44 A-L-P-H-A: oh if your ISP runs SA at the MTA you're probably out of luck with bayes and AWL. 19:43:49 slomo: ugh. 19:44:38 yea, totally unuseable here 19:44:51 is the machien good (with another distribution)? 19:44:53 machine 19:45:00 does it freeze only when running emc? 19:45:09 yea, 4.08 ran excellant 19:45:59 no, system is very sluggish, tried running time ./emc.run, system total lock up 19:46:25 so it is sluggish even when emc is not running? 19:46:41 seems like there was lots of modules that were not unloaded on start up 19:46:56 there was an error, they were all busy 19:47:22 yes, like the refresh rate was turned waaaay down 19:47:40 I bet paul will be around for the meeting tomorrow 19:48:30 must be something with all the modules not unloading, two screen fulls doing lsmod 19:51:21 picnet has joined #emc 19:51:29 is paul_c still in seattle? 20:21:32 just got back from getting myself 25lbs of beads :) 20:21:59 how are you guys doing today? 20:38:46 picnet has quit 21:09:53 slomoo has joined #emc 21:10:00 slomoo has quit 21:15:53 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa has joined #emc 21:16:15 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa has quit 21:18:25 slomo has quit 21:20:53 slomo has joined #emc 21:21:11 dam power outages ! 21:39:45 alex_joni has joined #emc 21:40:01 greetings 22:03:18 picnet has joined #emc 22:09:51 alex_joni has left #emc 23:31:02 jmkasunich has joined #emc 23:35:24 asdfqwega has joined #emc 23:36:34 Woo!
