| lcuk2 | javispedro, for touchscreens it is annoying | 00:18 |
| lcuk2 | especially dual mode keyboard ones | 00:19 |
| lcuk2 | i really want a taskbar on meego netbook | 00:19 |
| lcuk2 | alt tabbing hurts my brain with the method it does | 00:19 |
| javispedro | I disagree, on touchscreens that have decent border sensitivity that is | 00:19 |
| javispedro | being on any border is virtually an order of magnitude faster... | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | javispedro, location optimised | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | on your lap is one place | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | on a desk still as a foldered out laptop style is another | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | on a wall is another | 00:20 |
| javispedro | excuuuuuuuuse me for not having a giant touchscreen | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | :P | 00:20 |
| javispedro | ;P | 00:20 |
| lcuk2 | flat on the table is another | 00:21 |
| lcuk2 | which is odd because of lcd quality and viewing angle on some devices | 00:21 |
| lcuk2 | I thought of something cool earlier | 00:21 |
| lcuk2 | replace the down bit on the stairs with an lcd screen | 00:21 |
| lcuk2 | you have to go up and down stairs | 00:21 |

| c2pLaY | hi all | 05:23 |
| c2pLaY | have a problem on my nokia n900 | 05:23 |
| c2pLaY | desktop icons keep becoming unresponsive | 05:23 |
| c2pLaY | i've tried killing hildon-desktop | 05:23 |
| c2pLaY | but of course none of the icons come bakc | 05:23 |
| cehteh | some software takes all resources? | 05:24 |
| SpeedEvil | Do they appear OK on boot? | 05:24 |
| c2pLaY | and it remains unresponsive after the the process has been reinitiated | 05:24 |
| cehteh | what do you have installed and running? | 05:24 |
| c2pLaY | i got all kinds of stuff installed | 05:24 |
| cehteh | (including widget) | 05:24 |
| c2pLaY | 3 widgets i think | 05:24 |
| cehteh | well watch the process list and see if something leaks memory or takes all cpu | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | the cpu overclocking one | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | calendar | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | and showip | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | i have quite a few icons | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | this is happening very regularily | 05:25 |
| *** gn00b has joined #maemo | 05:25 | |
| c2pLaY | i have flashed it | 05:25 |
| cehteh | either top from a terminal or conky | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | speaking of top | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | is there a way to scroll down with top? | 05:25 |
| cehteh | no | 05:25 |
| cehteh | ps aux | less | 05:25 |
| c2pLaY | ye | 05:26 |
| cehteh | (dunno if aux works on messybox) | 05:26 |
| c2pLaY | dunno what messybox is | 05:26 |
| c2pLaY | this is a pretty vanilla setup | 05:26 |
| cehteh | you can sort top output P for cpu and M for memory | 05:26 |
| c2pLaY | so i shouldn't ahve much running | 05:26 |
| cehteh | busybox :) | 05:26 |
| cehteh | the crippled shell it has | 05:26 |
| c2pLaY | im not a super advanced user | 05:27 |
| cehteh | (note: uppercase M and P) | 05:27 |
| c2pLaY | so if there's anything missing in busybox i am unaware | 05:27 |
| cehteh | just use top | 05:27 |
| * cehteh just trying, works for me | 05:28 | |
| c2pLaY | im not a complete noob tho | 05:28 |
| c2pLaY | i can use ps | 05:28 |
| cehteh | ah ps aux works too | 05:28 |
| c2pLaY | i usually just ax | 05:28 |
| c2pLaY | don't need to see the user usually | 05:28 |
| cehteh | well you are only interested in the most resource intensive applications | 05:28 |
| c2pLaY | take up alot of extra room | 05:28 |
| c2pLaY | unless im looking for something user related | 05:28 |
| Macer | x is the most resource intensive | 05:29 |
| *** Evanescence has quit IRC | 05:29 | |
| cehteh | top is quite configureable .. but well this buildin one is a busybox crippled one duh | 05:29 |
| c2pLaY | so yeah | 05:29 |
| cehteh | so kill X :P | 05:29 |
| cehteh | haha | 05:29 |
| c2pLaY | 3 widgets | 05:29 |
| Macer | hahahahaa | 05:29 |
| c2pLaY | heh | 05:29 |
| Macer | shell only | 05:30 |
| c2pLaY | calendar, showip, and cpu | 05:30 |
| cehteh | well go down the list and see if there is anything unusual within the first 10 entries or so | 05:30 |
| c2pLaY | widgets | 05:30 |
| Macer | surprised someone hasnt done that yet | 05:30 |
| c2pLaY | will have a quick look | 05:30 |
| Macer | ncurses dialer and what not | 05:30 |
| c2pLaY | had to reboot | 05:30 |

| Macer | considering ovimaps | 05:31 |
| Macer | :) | 05:31 |
| cehteh | ovimaps sux | 05:31 |
| Macer | i guess geotagging pics | 05:31 |
| cehteh | cloudgps is a nice plaything (but lacks features) | 05:31 |
| c2pLaY | yeah the gps doesn't seem to be very accurate | 05:31 |
| Macer | i know it does | 05:31 |
| c2pLaY | was kinda wondering about that | 05:31 |

| Macer | i tried it | 05:32 |
| cehteh | c2pLaY: with assisted gps and give it some time to acquire the position its pretty good most of the time | 05:32 |
| Macer | google maps is good but requires net | 05:32 |
| cehteh | yes ovimaps is rubbish | 05:32 |
| cehteh | Macer: monav! | 05:32 |
| Macer | rubbish is too kind | 05:32 |
| cehteh | http://monav.openstreetmap.de/ | 05:32 |
| Macer | cehteh: i will try it | 05:32 |
| Macer | ovimaps is total shit | 05:33 |
| Macer | :) | 05:33 |
| c2pLaY | so how or where do you configure assisted gps? | 05:33 |
| cehteh | if you dont changed anything, then its on by default | 05:33 |
| c2pLaY | not familiar with gps all that much | 05:33 |
| cehteh | anyways in settings "position" | 05:33 |
| c2pLaY | yeah and using googlemaps mobile | 05:33 |
| cehteh | there is googlemaps for the n900? with gps support? | 05:34 |
| Macer | gnav is great if you had a sat connextion in your car | 05:34 |
| Macer | hahaha.. no | 05:34 |
| cehteh | i use osm :) | 05:34 |
| c2pLaY | i dunno if its supported | 05:34 |
| c2pLaY | but it works | 05:34 |
| Macer | and i mean internet sat | 05:34 |
| cehteh | monav can use offline maps .. vector maps! | 05:34 |
| c2pLaY | just shows the location wrong | 05:34 |
| c2pLaY | off by about a mile | 05:34 |
| Macer | gnav requires a net connection which is nonexistant in the sticks | 05:34 |
| *** evil|Jonne has joined #maemo | 05:34 | |
| c2pLaY | not sure how accurate its supposed to be | 05:34 |
| cehteh | c2pLaY: give it some time to acquire the position .. can take up to 10 minutes and needs sight to the sky | 05:35 |
| *** Jzarecta has joined #maemo | 05:35 | |
| Macer | cehteh: i think the n900 gps isnt too bad as far as accuracy | 05:35 |
| c2pLaY | ohic | 05:35 |
| cehteh | (well with assisted gps its much faster) | 05:35 |
| Jzarecta | hi is ther a way that I can locate the audio for the camera noise | 05:35 |
| c2pLaY | very kewl cehteh, i'll have to give that a try | 05:35 |
| Jzarecta | I am looking to mute the camera sound 'ringtone' | 05:35 |
| Macer | i was able to track where i was on an airplane by holding it against the window | 05:35 |
| cehteh | but assisted gps needs internet connection | 05:35 |
| Jzarecta | so first question is where is the camera application | 05:35 |
| SpeedEvil | http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Accuracy | 05:35 |
| cehteh | c2pLaY: and dont use ovi maps .. try monav or mappero | 05:36 |

| c2pLaY | so yeah | 05:36 |
| c2pLaY | ps ax | 05:36 |
| c2pLaY | theres a whole bunch of crap in there | 05:36 |
| cehteh | what is 'dm' ? | 05:37 |
| c2pLaY | most of which i cannot make sense of | 05:37 |
| c2pLaY | might have to output to a file and pastebin it | 05:37 |
| cehteh | c2pLaY: hence i saied use top and only look at the topmost things | 05:37 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: decimeters | 05:37 |
| c2pLaY | might ask one of you fine gentlement/women to take a look | 05:37 |
| cehteh | i dont want to sort your pastebin either | 05:37 |
| c2pLaY | heh | 05:37 |
| c2pLaY | kk top it is :P | 05:37 |
| cehteh | SpeedEvil: ah didnt expected that :P .. expected some fancy US unit :) | 05:37 |
| cehteh | SpeedEvil: do you know details of position acqusition? | 05:38 |

| SpeedEvil | cehteh: If it goes to cell positioning - it can get very inaccurate | 05:40 |
| cehteh | that was when i was inside a town .. i wonder if it uses wlan in reach for guessing position when gps signals are too weak | 05:40 |
| SpeedEvil | Similarly multipath can distort it majorly | 05:40 |
| cehteh | yes but it had fine GPS location for some hours | 05:40 |
| cehteh | i wonder why it lost the gps lock | 05:41 |
| SpeedEvil | Jammers can be an issue. | 05:41 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | cehteh: nope | 05:41 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | gps multipath + reflections | 05:42 |
| SpeedEvil | See the above openstreetmap page | 05:42 |
| cehteh | mhm maybe i should look at the .gpx .. it should record the accurracy for each track point right? | 05:42 |
| SpeedEvil | I wrote something on reflections | 05:42 |
| cehteh | yeah | 05:42 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: Some apps don't | 05:42 |
| cehteh | lets see | 05:42 |

| cehteh | DocScrutinizer: btw i need some educated guess from a EE :) | 05:46 |
| SpeedEvil | About what? | 05:47 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: I know a hell of a lot about GPS. | 05:47 |
| SpeedEvil | It doesn't help at all. | 05:47 |
| SpeedEvil | Simply as the implementation is closed. | 05:47 |
| cehteh | i got this bike charger/battery ... soldered the charger cable and it generally works | 05:47 |
| SpeedEvil | Ah | 05:47 |
| *** pcfe has quit IRC | 05:47 | |
| cehteh | but sometimes the n900 reports "cant charge" | 05:47 |
| cehteh | i guess the voltage drops because of a power spike when changing cell or so | 05:47 |
| *** pcfe has joined #maemo | 05:48 | |
| *** pcfe has quit IRC | 05:48 | |
| *** pcfe has joined #maemo | 05:48 | |
| cehteh | so the bike charger has a DCDC output 5V regulated | 05:48 |
| SpeedEvil | I think can't charge means it may have had a voltage drop | 05:48 |
| cehteh | can i put a cap there to buffer spikes? ... maybe a goldcap? or would that be dangerous? | 05:48 |
| SpeedEvil | Goldcap will do almost nothing | 05:48 |
| SpeedEvil | You want a cap with a reasonably low series resistance | 05:49 |
| cehteh | yes i dont know the resistance of goldcaps .. | 05:49 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | not dangerous but no use in it | 05:49 |
| SpeedEvil | quite high - several hundred ohms is typical | 05:49 |
| cehteh | ah ok didnt know that | 05:49 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: Does it charge properly normally? | 05:49 |
| cehteh | well on other circruits i put a big elko and a big tantal .. | 05:50 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | and you need sth like 1AsV | 05:50 |
| cehteh | yes also stationary on my desk it charges from this battery | 05:50 |
| SpeedEvil | I'd wonder if it was connection issues | 05:51 |
| cehteh | its most likely a voltage drop, i just wonder how i can buffer that | 05:51 |
| cehteh | no wasnt | 05:51 |
| cehteh | connection is perfect i checked all connections 10 times :) | 05:51 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | ignore | 05:52 |
| cehteh | and it restarted charging when i turned the battery off and on | 05:52 |
| SpeedEvil | If you smack the battery about a little - does it go off? | 05:52 |
| cehteh | no | 05:52 |
| SpeedEvil | Check the switch | 05:52 |
| cehteh | yes its all ok | 05:52 |
| cehteh | assume its a voltage drop, how can i buffer that? | 05:52 |
| cehteh | (if goldcap doesnt work i would just do my tantal+elko thing) | 05:53 |
| *** kthomas has quit IRC | 05:53 | |
| DocScrutinizer51 | ignore | 05:53 |
| cehteh | or can i tell the device to charge at less current somehow? | 05:53 |
| cehteh | DocScrutinizer: impossible | 05:53 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | cant buffer | 05:53 |
| cehteh | it somtimes didnt came up charging 20 times in a row .. sometimes worked for 20 minutes | 05:54 |
| cehteh | i must fix this somehow | 05:54 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: Do you have a DMM? | 05:54 |
| cehteh | DMM? | 05:54 |
| cehteh | ah yes | 05:54 |
| SpeedEvil | I'd start out by seeing if the voltage is on 5V | 05:54 |
| cehteh | well not here but yes | 05:54 |
| *** lxp1 has joined #maemo | 05:55 | |
| cehteh | the battery DCDC can only deliver 850 mA | 05:55 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | use ca146-a or a better DC/DC | 05:56 |
| cehteh | then the voltage drops | 05:56 |
| SpeedEvil | ?You | 05:56 |
| SpeedEvil | You can regulate the charge current with the proper charger script | 05:56 |
| SpeedEvil | I don't think BME can do this | 05:56 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | you could use 'jrbme' charger and limit current to less than that | 05:56 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | he, SpeedEvil beat me | 05:57 |
| cehteh | sounds like a plan | 05:57 |
| cehteh | bq27200.sh cant display input voltage? | 05:57 |
| SpeedEvil | Well - I diddn't write anything distributable | 05:57 |
| wblaze | silly question, is there a way to open multiple xterms on the n900? | 05:57 |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: no | 05:57 |
| *** lxp has quit IRC | 05:58 | |
| *** wam has joined #maemo | 05:58 | |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: Tehre are a number of flags on the charger chip that can tell you the state | 05:58 |
| SpeedEvil | 200 is the charge monotro | 05:58 |
| SpeedEvil | wblaze: tap 'new' in the context menu | 05:58 |
| cehteh | well how big are the power spikes the device causes? .. prolly tens of ms | 05:58 |
| SpeedEvil | There shouldn't be power spikes - significant ones. | 05:58 |
| SpeedEvil | All the spikes come out of the battery | 05:59 |
| wblaze | SpeedEvil: ... wow, I can't believe I missed that | 05:59 |
| cehteh | well in that case the battery was almost empty | 05:59 |
| wblaze | thanks so much for humoring that haha | 05:59 |

| DocScrutinizer51 | has same effect | 06:02 |
| cehteh | ? | 06:03 |
| cehteh | wow .. i phoned 7 times for 99 cent this month :P | 06:06 |
| *** kthomas has joined #maemo | 06:08 | |
| *** kthomas_vh_ has quit IRC | 06:08 | |
| DocScrutinizer51 | cehteh: voltage spikes or overvoltage in general will make N900 stop charging | 06:08 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | more plausible than load spikes | 06:09 |
| cehteh | well as i saied, when using this battery stationary then it charges fine, just with the n900 battery almost empty and while biking it didnt worked reliable | 06:10 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | you might be able to log some of the state in bq24150 to see what's up | 06:10 |
| cehteh | i also disabled the dynamo charging so only the external battery provided power | 06:10 |
| cehteh | and when i put the phone in offline mode it seemed to be little better | 06:10 |
| cehteh | yeah i try that next tome | 06:10 |
| cehteh | time | 06:10 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | all not really concludent | 06:11 |
| cehteh | how much overvoltage does the n900 accept? 5.2V? 5.5V? | 06:11 |
| cehteh | i could add a zener diode for protection .. but that would mean that the DCDC is somewhat broken and i doubt that, then it wont work stationary | 06:12 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | while sleep 1; do i2cget $statusregister; done >logfile | 06:12 |
| cehteh | $statusregister is? | 06:12 |

| cehteh | hey i have no clues about this :) | 06:15 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | the error bits are identical for charge and boost | 06:15 |
| * cehteh needs a lsi2c :P | 06:17 | |
| *** Dialekt has joined #maemo | 06:18 | |
| SpeedEvil | Interesting. | 06:18 |
| SpeedEvil | Supply voltage is 4V-6.3V - when it should 'always charge' | 06:18 |
| SpeedEvil | Outside these ranges, it trips off. | 06:19 |
| cehteh | thats quite a range | 06:19 |
| SpeedEvil | Outside the range -0.7 to 7V for a few seconds, it may explode. | 06:19 |
| cehteh | :) | 06:19 |
| SpeedEvil | I don't see that it's likely to charge fully with vbus at 4V though | 06:19 |
| SpeedEvil | err - at -0.7 to 7V it's supposed to not be immediately damaged - ratehr. | 06:20 |
| cehteh | stepup? | 06:20 |
| SpeedEvil | Exceeding that will do bad stuff | 06:20 |
| cehteh | without shortened data pins it doesnt charge at all .. i hoped that it charges at least at the minimum current the usb spec allows (80ma or so?) | 06:21 |
| cehteh | maximum unacknowledged power | 06:22 |
| cehteh | well in most cases when the device is running on my bike (gps and display on) it draws more than 80ma | 06:22 |
| *** hardaker has joined #maemo | 06:25 | |
| SpeedEvil | cehteh: It depends - with the battery voltage under s specified threshold, and BME dead, it will charge with the orange light on constnatly | 06:28 |
| SpeedEvil | Also - a quick read of the example schematic and datasheet imply that it's not going to charge the battery to over the vbus - ever. | 06:29 |
| SpeedEvil | It can't. | 06:29 |
| cehteh | well i want to use the device and dont want a black brick on the handlebar | 06:29 |
| cehteh | well on my next bike trip i will investigate the case | 06:31 |
| SpeedEvil | Charges the battery to 3.54V max | 06:31 |
| SpeedEvil | I'd look at jrbme | 06:31 |
| SpeedEvil | work out how to set maximum input current to 500mA or something | 06:31 |
| SpeedEvil | This will usually charge the device | 06:32 |

| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: I don't see how Nokia "fsckd it up" other than inventing a useless oversofisticated buggy controller daemon called BME | 06:51 |
| cehteh | the bq24150 is the charger chip in the n900? and bq27200 is the battery gauge only? | 06:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes | 06:53 |
| ShadowJK | 3.54V is more than enough to boot a bootloadrr and hand over charging though :P | 06:53 |

| DocScrutinizer | while this may be appropriate in general, I think on N900 there's rather little you really could *accidentally* fsck up | 07:01 |

| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: if you really want to do sth useful about it, go for a cmdline replacement for hal-addon-bme to tell hal about battery status from scripts | 07:05 |
| cehteh | didnt bme petting the watchdog? | 07:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | indeed, as does charger | 07:05 |
| ShadowJK | Missing stuff: error recovery, retry with lower charge rate, event-driven instead of polling | 07:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | that'S the whole purpose of the critter | 07:06 |
| ShadowJK | and managing usb crap | 07:06 |
| cehteh | ShadowJK: yes | 07:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | event driven - another useful domain to hack: give us an open replacement for ke-recv | 07:06 |
| cehteh | well currently i have no time | 07:06 |
| ShadowJK | and the chip behaves differently from what one would think after reading the datasheet :D | 07:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | depends on what you think | 07:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-P | 07:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | I always found it in line with my expectations | 07:07 |

| *** z4chh has quit IRC | 07:09 | |
| DocScrutinizer | for hw there's no such thing as "I did this almost same time" | 07:09 |
| ShadowJK | I'm not sure if the side effect of reading status register was in datasheet :P | 07:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | set your registers *first* - then enable their usage | 07:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | there's no such thing according to my observations | 07:10 |
| DocScrutinizer | reading status register is side effect free for me | 07:10 |
| ShadowJK | I've managed to confuse bme by reading status register in a loop, because then it's a race between my loop and bme who will see the real status first | 07:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | but it's quite easy to trigger side effects by the way and timing you read | 07:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | I did eactly this and it worked flawlessly | 07:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | iirc | 07:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | at least bme for sure didn't complain or act up | 07:13 |
| ShadowJK | Normally nothing happens where it would matter, because bme mostly looks at gaia vbus | 07:13 |
| *** z4chh has joined #maemo | 07:13 | |

| DocScrutinizer | there's simply no need to 'look at vbus' | 07:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | 24150 will tell bme all about vbus status | 07:15 |
| ShadowJK | it's how bme reacts faster than 15s on charger removed :P | 07:15 |
| ShadowJK | or inserted | 07:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | and of course kevents will tell ke-recv and bme about vbus applied | 07:15 |

| *** kama has joined #maemo | 07:16 | |
| ShadowJK | So undervoltage big enough to make bq24150 upset and reset to defaults, but not so big to make gaia vbus drop, grab error from bq24150 before bme, bme sees normal status next check, bq24150 is left in post-reset configuration ;p | 07:17 |
| *** Gorroth has joined #maemo | 07:17 | |

| ShadowJK | clear on read | 07:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | not here | 07:19 |
| cehteh | ok .. poking in i2c registers while bme is runnin doesnt work, yeah i didnt expected that | 07:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | could've toldya | 07:19 |
| cehteh | yes yes | 07:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | you shouldn't do such things ;-) | 07:20 |
| ShadowJK | I can get 9 hour old error out of it too, the triggering cause being long gone too :P | 07:20 |
| cehteh | i hoped bme looked away this time :P | 07:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | bme reprograms all registers every 15s or so | 07:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | almost | 07:21 |
| cehteh | prolly faster | 07:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | bme totally has b24250 on strings, not allowing it to do the right thing | 07:21 |
| DocScrutinizer | the bme devels didn't understand there's a cpu inside the chip that does all that for them | 07:22 |
| cehteh | yeah | 07:22 |
| ShadowJK | Once I changed charge rate after bme started charge, and bme didn't change it at all until next unplug/plug | 07:22 |

| cehteh | yes | 07:25 |
| DocScrutinizer | though I honestly think you better should investigate rather than fixing a hypothetical case | 07:26 |

| * cehteh wants some gui button "i am on my bike, dont charge more than 500ma | 07:30 | |
| ShadowJK | Also the battery cell is only rated for 925mA charge iirc | 07:30 |
| *** MadViking has joined #maemo | 07:30 | |
| SpeedEvil | Most cells I've seen ar rated for 1C charge | 07:31 |
| wblaze | cehteh: out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish? | 07:31 |

| ShadowJK | cehteh, you know, my tekkeon doesn't make bme or bq24150 freak out despite its current capability dropping to less than 500mA :P | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | damn reconnects | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | what's impossible? | 07:32 |
| cehteh | wblaze: i have a bike dynamo charger / battery and it sometimes doesnt charge, presumely because of voltage drops, so i'd like to try to limit the charge current to a lower level | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | he's superman and I'm the siversurfer, nothing is impossible | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | and for maemo and N900, everything can happen today or tomorrow | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | ;-P | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | seen http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1023402&postcount=821 ?? | 07:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | esp the left-over comment header in the script... | 07:32 |
| cehteh | anyways at home i almost always charging at my usb-hub too, the wallcharger is in the sleeping room | 07:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: ShadowJK: esp when VBUS too low, I think N900 has another message to user than "can not charge" | 07:34 |
| SpeedEvil | Also - VBUS overvoltage can be benign if the voltage is in the range 6.3-7. (but...) | 07:34 |
| wblaze | cehteh: neat | 07:34 |
| cehteh | "Akku wird nicht geladen" iirc | 07:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | I lowered VBUS to sth like 3.5V and charging actually didn't happen, still N900 *signalled* charging is good | 07:34 |
| cehteh | thats what i get | 07:34 |
| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: better investigate instead of headless "fixing" an unclear issue | 07:35 |
| cehteh | DocScrutinizer: for a DCDC controlled input it shouldnt do overvoltage .. and i already saied, if i use that startionary to charge it doesnt happen | 07:36 |
| *** Kilroo has quit IRC | 07:36 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so what? | 07:36 |
| cehteh | DocScrutinizer: i dont have the equipment to investigate this properly | 07:36 |
| *** z4chh has joined #maemo | 07:36 | |
| cehteh | next DMM on the handlebar :) | 07:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | this only means you're short of ideas. Your explanation is rether a bit more unlikely to be correct than overvoltage is | 07:36 |
| cehteh | better a logging one (i dont have) | 07:36 |
| ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer, iirc that happens when D+/D- still short, voltage drops low enough to trip 24150, but still high enough for 'vbus' to read as 1 on gaia | 07:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | possible | 07:37 |
| *** croppa has joined #maemo | 07:37 | |
| DocScrutinizer | but then how comes charging commences when voltage goes up again? | 07:37 |
| *** Necc has joined #maemo | 07:37 | |
| DocScrutinizer | if bq24150 got reset, this can't happen | 07:37 |
| cehteh | hence my first idea to buffer it with some caps .. might or might not help but costs 50 cents, and if it works i am happy | 07:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | you can try this, but you'd need like 100mF/10V | 07:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, no problem nowadays | 07:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | not even lowESR | 07:38 |
| cehteh | hehe .. 6V should be enough or? :) | 07:39 |
| cehteh | who needs a safety marigin | 07:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | no way | 07:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | those are always best case volzages | 07:39 |

| DocScrutinizer | I've *never* seen a 6V circuit equipped with 6.3V Cs | 07:40 |
| cehteh | well 100mF are bit much :) .. i was thinking about 4700µ thats easily doable .. and a 47µ tantal | 07:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | rarely ever a 5V circuit | 07:40 |
| cehteh | but yes this is guesswork .. i dont have the equipment to test | 07:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | forget the tantal, use a 1uF foil | 07:40 |
| cehteh | 1µ foil is much biggier, isnt it? | 07:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | without equipment and with no desire to write proper testing software, your approach probably is the next sane thing to do | 07:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | use 100nF then | 07:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | tantal are mostly worthless | 07:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | for this purpose | 07:42 |
| * ShadowJK did wonder why people want to stick tantal everywhere | 07:43 | |
| DocScrutinizer | no idea | 07:43 |
| cehteh | dont you have a regulated power supply and can simulate undervoltage? | 07:43 |
| cehteh | maybe with some resistor in series | 07:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | I have | 07:43 |

| DocScrutinizer | then, to make game more funny, do the same writing with trackpoint while your eyes closed | 08:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | you bet I win with touchpad or tablet or mouse or touchscreen | 08:01 |
| wblaze | never had an occasion to need that particular skill | 08:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's not a skill, it's an idealized test bed | 08:02 |
| wblaze | I never said it was superior, just that I like it | 08:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's a fringe case to show limitations | 08:02 |
| wblaze | I don't know how this got to be an argument on merit | 08:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | otoh a trackpoint might be great for exact cursor *positioning* when in a really limited space environment, like a shaking airplane, economy class seat | 08:03 |
| wblaze | thats close enough to the reason I needed it for graphic design | 08:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | on speed of actions you're definitely better with direct-movement-projection HIDs like mice | 08:04 |

| ShadowJK | I have no data on vboost behaviour :-) | 08:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | if status actually resets on read, I have to reread and comment on the datasheet somewhere | 08:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | now I really hope behaviour of status readout is consistent between boost and charge mode | 08:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-S | 08:19 |
| ShadowJK | Well imagine what would happen with intermittent errors if the status wasn't stored and held until readout :-) | 08:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | hell the status shouldn't get teset on read!! | 08:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | at least I'd think the datasheet should state damn *clearly* WHEN it gets reset | 08:21 |
| ShadowJK | iirc the state diagram kinda implies undefined behaviour unless you switch charge/boost off and reconfigure after any exception or error :-) | 08:22 |
| *** ab has joined #maemo | 08:23 | |

| DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: you're definitely right - >> Fault condition is cleared by POR and fault status bits can only be updated after the status bits are read out by the host.<< is pretty clear | 08:36 |
| *** z4chh has quit IRC | 08:39 | |
| *** hannesw_ has quit IRC | 08:39 | |
| DocScrutinizer | also for all interested parties: >> USB Friendly Boot-Up Sequence At power on reset (POR) of VBUS, if the battery voltage is above the weak battery threshold, V(LOWV), bq24150 operates in a mode dictated by the I2C control registers. If the battery voltage is below V(LOWV) and the host control through I2C interface is lost (32 minute mode), the bq24150 resets all I2C registers with default values and enable the charger with an input current | 08:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | limit dictated by the OTG pin voltage level until the host programs the I2C registers. During this period, the input current limit is 100 mA when the voltage level of OTG pin is low; while the input current limit is 500 mA when the voltage level of OTG pin is high. This feature can revive the deeply discharged cell. The charge process continues even the battery is charged to the regulation voltage [3.54V, 32minutes max]<< | 08:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | in short: without sw-control the charger chip will charge bat to max 3,54V, for a max of 32min, at a current of 100mA from PC and 500mA from wallcharger | 08:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | during this time the LED shows steady yellow | 08:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | ~flatbat-recover | 08:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | ~flatbatrecover | 08:44 |
| infobot | Remove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered Nokia wallcharger to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber going off - in this case start over again with ~flatbatrecover | 08:44 |

| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: The bq24150/1 provides a built-in input over-voltage protection to protect the device and other components against damages if the input voltage (Voltage from VBUS to PGND) goes too high. When an input overvoltage condition is detected, bq24150/1 turns off the PWM converter, sets fault status bits, and sends out fault pulse in STAT pin. Once VBUS drops below the input overvoltage exit threshold, the fault is cleared and charge | 08:53 |

| *** mece has joined #maemo | 09:34 | |
| *** avs has quit IRC | 09:34 | |
| DocScrutinizer | >> Input Overvoltage Protection The bq24150/1 provides a built-in input over-voltage protection to protect the device and other components against damages if the input voltage (Voltage from VBUS to PGND) goes too high. When an input overvoltage condition is detected, bq24150/1 turns off the PWM converter, sets fault status bits, and sends out fault pulse in STAT pin. Once VBUS drops below the input overvoltage exit threshold, the fault is | 09:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | cleared and charge process resumes. | 09:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | this suggests short spikes recover and go unnoticed | 09:38 |

| DocScrutinizer | nothing to latch up the event, to read out async | 09:39 |
| *** kerio has joined #maemo | 09:40 | |
| DocScrutinizer | as robbiethe1st said, the STAT pin is only driving the amber LED and is not monitored by CPU | 09:40 |
| arvut | hello and gooood moning | 09:41 |
| Jaffa | Morning, all | 09:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | OTOH when cehteh says the device signals "charging not possible" then the condition has to stay long enough to log it by frequent polling of status register | 09:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | morn | 09:42 |
| arvut | ing | 09:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | cehteh: you should shorten the poll-loop sleep in shadowjk's charger script to 1s (or less) to get proper logs about transient errors of VBUS | 09:43 |
| mece | I'm sure this is a good place to ask, so here goes. Anybody here knows how to administer profiles on Windows xp? | 09:45 |

| DocScrutinizer | you thing with *me* in *this* chan your choice been better ? ;-P | 09:46 |
| arvut | mece: true dat. but this is for the maemo linux os, not win xp | 09:46 |
| mece | also, I assume people who actually use windows out of choice don't know shit about windows, or they wouldn't be using it. | 09:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | lol | 09:47 |
| arvut | I've used windows xp since it came out. nowadays I either use win 7 or ubuntu | 09:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | good point | 09:47 |

| *** mortenvp has joined #maemo | 09:54 | |
| mece | DocScrutinizer, teehee. I always wondered why they are called fiasco. I mean sure it's a mess, but fiasco? Hardly. Atleast when compared to the rest of the mobile crowd | 09:54 |
| mece | arvut, yes. That is spot on! | 09:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | mece: nokia devels are clever - fiasco also means flask | 09:55 |
| mece | But alas, I am stuck with this broken piece of dung, and I need to fix this | 09:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | I heard NOLO also isn't a nice word at some places in the world | 09:55 |
| arvut | like a windows addicted friend of mine said (he even prefers IE before firefox!) : "windows if you want problems and mac OS if you're a complete idiot at computers" | 09:56 |
| mece | yep. means "embarrassed" | 09:56 |
| *** z4chh has quit IRC | 09:56 | |
| mece | arvut, aside from his awkward addiction, your friend seems like a smart man | 09:57 |
| arvut | he didnt mention linux tho but I know he tried to install red hat 11 years ago | 09:57 |
| mece | or woman | 09:57 |
| arvut | mece: hes actually quite brilliant when it comes to smartness. but too stubborn to move away from his beloved windows. | 09:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | windows always been the text adventure for the tech ignorant and ignorant about that fact masochists | 09:58 |
| mece | arvut, well that is his prerogative | 09:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | those who know they're tech ignorant like to opt for mac | 09:59 |
| arvut | I like problemsolving too, just like he does. but I tend to expand my area or work when I feel there is need for a new challenge, hence why I've been stuck in linux 4 the last 3 years :P | 09:59 |

| DocScrutinizer | train your speech recog sw, dude! ;-D | 10:02 |
| arvut | nah, I like shorting words down when typing on the n900 | 10:02 |
| arvut | longer keyboard life that way :) | 10:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | sometimes leaving out "words" better than abrev | 10:03 |

| *** kW_ has quit IRC | 17:03 | |
| JackBeSlow | Yeah, it's more than a little odd. I've installed battery-eye and battery graph and of course get some really weird readings. Advanced power causes a reboot loop after the first reset that requires reflashing. | 17:04 |
| rm_work | hrm | 17:05 |
| rm_work | i wonder if it scrambled something in the charging circuit in the n900 or in the battery itself | 17:05 |
| rm_work | replacing the battery wouldn't be free but it'd be comparatively cheap | 17:05 |
| JackBeSlow | Already had a spare I swapped it with. No difference unfortunately so I have to assume it's the charging circuit. | 17:08 |

| DocScrutinizer | fact is we got no CSD-SAT | 18:35 |
| Jaffa | Eh? A "transitional" package is when a previously populated package gets renamed and the old package becomes a meta-package for it. | 18:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | except config file and apt-cache info | 18:35 |
| Jaffa | e.g. "exim" gets renamed to "exim4". "exim" Depends: exim4 and has no content o f it own | 18:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | whatever, you're all free to apt-* * csd-sat | 18:36 |
| edheldil | anyway, the csd-sat package only replaces libsat and libsat0 packages, not providing any useful files, and some packages (mp-freemantle-generic-pr and cmt-firmware-rx51) depend on it | 18:37 |

| Jaffa | chem|st: Can you point to this "definition" by which things are "by definition" then? I thought "metapackage" was a technique/pattern and "transitional" was a usage of that pattern for a particular purpose. | 18:57 |
| Jaffa | chem|st: Your "by definition" is circular, so now its Citation Needed ;-) | 18:57 |
| chem|st | Jaffa: you might lookup the meaning of the word "transitional" yourself | 18:57 |

| *** wblaze has joined #maemo | 18:58 | |
| lcuk | jaffa | 18:58 |
| *** gri has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
| lcuk | An example of transitional packages in Debian | 18:58 |
| lcuk | When you have to change the name of your package (e.g. for complying with policies) or you make a new package that is meant to replace the old one (e.g. gcc4.2 -> gcc4.3), you’ll have to deal with the fact that the other packages that use your old package as a dependency will not be immediately updated, or maybe never will. So, to overcome this issue, there is a useful trick: transitional packages. | 18:58 |
| lcuk | http://baraujo.net/blog/?p=17 | 18:58 |
| *** FireFly|n900 has joined #maemo | 18:59 | |
| Jaffa | http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package | 18:59 |
| Jaffa | ^...and also | 18:59 |
| Jaffa | lcuk: Yes - that's my definition of a transitional package. | 18:59 |
| chem|st | yea and metapackages are used just for the case... so what is your actual question? | 19:00 |
| Jaffa | lcuk: Given there was never a package which provided the entirety of build-essential or ubuntu-desktop, it is not to continue to provide an upgrade path after a package has been renamed. | 19:00 |
| *** machia has quit IRC | 19:00 | |
| lcuk | Jaffa, build-essential is in the sdk repository | 19:01 |
| lcuk | and not in -extras or -devel | 19:01 |
| lcuk | which repo are you looking and where is depending upon build-essential? | 19:01 |
| Jaffa | chem|st: The word "transitional" implies that the original is no longer needed to continue with its primary purpose. | 19:01 |
| Jaffa | lcuk: This is a packaging discussion, not a Maemo repositories discussion | 19:01 |
| *** liar has joined #maemo | 19:01 | |
| chem|st | Jaffa: or in other words bridge a path that is changing from time to time or newly... | 19:02 |
| Jaffa | chem|st: However, the "original" build-essential and ubuntu-desktop continue to provide usage even after their dependencies are provided, in terms of the bundle aspect you described earlier. | 19:02 |
| lcuk | Jaffa, but your assertion that build-esential does not exist is incorrect | 19:02 |
| lcuk | http://maemo.org/packages/view/build-essential/ | 19:02 |
| *** machia has joined #maemo | 19:02 | |
| chem|st | Jaffa: and transitional does not imply that it was a real package before | 19:02 |
| Jaffa | chem|st: No, in English, "transitional" would never be used for a continuing process; nor is there any evidence on Google that anyone else refers to build-essential or ubuntu-desktop as a "transitional" descktop | 19:02 |
| *** alehorst has joined #maemo | 19:03 | |
| Jaffa | lcuk: FFS, I've not asserted that. When did I assert that? I said it was a metapackage not a transitional package. | 19:03 |
| chem|st | Jaffa: my "transition" quote was from ubuntu.org... | 19:03 |
| Jaffa | My argument is that all transitional packages are metapackages; chem|st argues that all metapackages are transitional. | 19:03 |
| chem|st | .com ssry | 19:03 |
| *** zap has quit IRC | 19:03 | |
| *** tackat has joined #maemo | 19:04 | |
| Jaffa | But, it's so fucking semantic, I don't give a toss. | 19:04 |
| chem|st | Jaffa: yeah | 19:04 |
| Jaffa | But, finally: "Transitional packages are essentially proxies – packages that pull the correct dependencies when installed and can be removed without problems as soon as the installation finishes". If you apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, you get a loss of functionality around upgrades that you would not get from apt-get remove exim (if it transitioned to exim4) | 19:05 |
| Jaffa | That's from the top result for "debian transitional package" - at the URL lcuk gave earlier. | 19:05 |

| javispedro | marketed as the best thing ever, but that's as usual. | 21:36 |
| MohammadAG | javispedro, If I were google I'd sue them | 21:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | FIQ, not bad. But that's three syllables. | 21:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | javispedro: what an idea! | 21:38 |
| GeneralAntilles | Actually, NGP would be pretty cool with MeeGo, too. | 21:39 |
| GeneralAntilles | That controller is going to be so expensive. | 21:40 |
| javispedro | depends on the specs | 21:40 |
| javispedro | You could easily get it down to $100 | 21:40 |
| javispedro | or even $80 and still be pretty decent | 21:40 |
| javispedro | or maybe they'll sell the controllers for a loss =) | 21:41 |
| GeneralAntilles | The way the DS prints money they certainly could. | 21:41 |

| SpeedEvil | Can the controller run meego? | 21:43 |
| javispedro | it resembles a tablet more than a game controller | 21:44 |

| GeneralAntilles | "Why wouldn't you just have one device that has all of the information? . . ." | 21:47 |
| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: Well... | 21:47 |
| javispedro | ah, a paradox. | 21:48 |
| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: To be fair - if the deveices can be replicated | 21:48 |
| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: They may be 'free' | 21:48 |
| SpeedEvil | GeneralAntilles: So it may just be that a 'natural wm' may be preferred. | 21:48 |
| javispedro | the most advanced of technologies -- and the easiest way of "hey, look at the document I have here" is still physically sharing the device. | 21:48 |
| SpeedEvil | Also, you missed the obvious one. | 21:49 |
| GeneralAntilles | Well, the replicator costs deuturium, right? | 21:49 |
| SpeedEvil | It's DRM. | 21:49 |

| SpeedEvil | It used to be that the Wii used 1/10th the power of the competing platforms. | 21:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Probably not high. | 21:53 |
| GeneralAntilles | Not much room for cooling it looks like. | 21:53 |

| *** doc|home has joined #maemo | 22:38 | |
| Macer | the reason for the jaguar's failure | 22:38 |
| javispedro | maybe its the master plan from nintendo to print more money | 22:38 |
| javispedro | sell an expensive controller | 22:39 |
| javispedro | induce users to wave expensive controller around | 22:39 |
| javispedro | 3) | 22:39 |
| RST38h | Ah come on, it is not the reasong for the jaguar failure | 22:39 |
| javispedro | 4) profit! | 22:39 |
| Macer | i am sure a lot of people will wait on this one | 22:39 |
| Macer | what are the specs of the device? | 22:39 |
| *** drj_cro has quit IRC | 22:39 | |
| Macer | is it at least as good as a 360 yet? :) | 22:39 |
| RST38h | javispedro: make a special button on the controller saying SMOKE | 22:39 |
| *** infobot has quit IRC | 22:40 | |
| RST38h | javispedro: Slowly burn the controller until it is non-functional | 22:40 |
| RST38h | REPEAT. | 22:40 |
| *** pcacjr has quit IRC | 22:41 | |
| Macer | i think they just made a different ps3 controller with a screen on it | 22:41 |
| javispedro | I think only the steveness can do that | 22:41 |
| Macer | can you use old wiimotes on it? | 22:41 |
| javispedro | yeah, but this remembers me | 22:42 |
| javispedro | anyone saw more than one wiipad connected to the same console? | 22:42 |
| javispedro | if they're really streaming video as the marketing person said, that could be a limitation. | 22:42 |

| lardman | aaaaargh, why oh why can't I open a device that dmesg tells me is there | 22:48 |
| * RST38h eeks, reaches for the gun | 22:48 | |
| lardman | bloody card readers *grumble* | 22:49 |
| javispedro | RST38h: I see today's slashdot is a minefield | 22:49 |
| *** unixSnob has joined #maemo | 22:49 | |
| RST38h | javis: feeding grounds for trolls | 22:49 |
| javispedro | obviously CmdrTaco was awake today | 22:49 |
| RST38h | Ah, I see what the mean by "anti intellectualism": all those college dropout sysadmins and web coders saying that "college isn't worth the effort" | 22:50 |
| lardman | hmm, I think I'll need to use the N900 to format it | 22:50 |
| javispedro | lardman: why don't you use good old fdisk (the linuxtools one, not the MS abomination) | 22:50 |
| javispedro | lardman: ignore every complain it makes until you can get to the part where you can destroy fscking everything and create new plain old mbr | 22:51 |
| lardman | javispedro: I'm trying to do this under Linux, but it just says it can't find the device | 22:51 |
| lardman | is really rather frustrating | 22:52 |
| javispedro | what device? | 22:52 |
| javispedro | which program? fdisk? | 22:52 |
| lardman | uSD card in card reader | 22:52 |
| lardman | yeah fdisk | 22:52 |
| lardman | and also mkfs* | 22:52 |
| *** DrGrov has joined #maemo | 22:52 | |
| javispedro | /dev/sd[abcdefgh..?] | 22:52 |
| lardman | yep | 22:52 |
| javispedro | and you type /dev/sd? and fdisk complains about "No such device"? | 22:53 |
| javispedro | er.. | 22:53 |
| javispedro | *type "fdisk /dev/sd?" | 22:53 |
| *** skler` has joined #maemo | 22:54 | |
| *** mitsutaka has joined #maemo | 22:54 | |
| lardman | no i did fdisk /dev/sdf | 22:55 |
| lardman | as that is apparently the device name | 22:55 |
| lardman | [ 9015.967119] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk | 22:56 |

| SpeedEvil | That does not mean the disk has media in | 22:56 |
| lardman | well sometimes it is mounted and I can see the contents, then as soon as I umount it I can no longer access the partition or device using mkfs/fsck or fdisk respectively | 22:57 |
| javispedro | this rings a bell | 22:57 |
| javispedro | lardman: do you umount it using nautilus/gnome? | 22:57 |
| *** mitsutaka has quit IRC | 22:57 | |
| lardman | yeah | 22:57 |
| *** yigal has quit IRC | 22:58 | |
| lardman | I'm guessing that might be a mistake? | 22:58 |
| javispedro | try umounting it using cmd line -- I remember recent nautilus does "something" | 22:58 |
| javispedro | yep | 22:58 |
| *** wam has joined #maemo | 22:58 | |
| *** wam has quit IRC | 22:58 | |
| lardman | hmm, unfortauntely it's unwilling to mount now | 22:59 |
| lardman | I think the fs is knackered | 22:59 |
| lardman | vfat rubbish | 22:59 |
| javispedro | seemingly they try to do the same as the windows eject disk so that devices flush buffers, etc. but this has the side effect that some devices fail to do anything afterwards | 22:59 |
| *** mitsutaka has joined #maemo | 22:59 | |
| lardman | and it's still not willing to be accessed using fdisk | 22:59 |
| javispedro | unplug/replug cycle | 22:59 |
| lardman | yeah done that a few times | 22:59 |
| *** C-S-B has quit IRC | 23:00 | |
| lardman | I'll stick it in the n900 and format it there, hopefully they we'll be back to somthing useful | 23:00 |
| javispedro | then, intermittent failure = bad cable, dust in slot, etc. | 23:00 |
| *** Sickki has quit IRC | 23:00 | |
| lardman | though my Tab doesn't recognise it at all (and this is all just so I can root the tab so I can get on with Meego dev for it) | 23:00 |
| lardman | hmm, perhaps I should dig out an old and small camera card | 23:01 |
| *** Sickki has joined #maemo | 23:01 | |
| lardman | anyway /me heads to watch CSI, will let you know how I get on later | 23:01 |
