[02:15:10] <Volis> I have got everything except cables.
[02:16:42] <Xark> Volis: What cables?
[02:17:33] <antto> i have got everything except money.
[02:38:03] <Roklobsta> i am missing beer.
[03:12:33] <edman007> Roklobsta, i got 5 gal brewing behind me
[03:22:10] <bitd> edman007, meth? <.<
[03:23:12] <edman007> nope, all beer
[03:43:13] <antto> sell the cables => get money => get b33r
[03:43:22] <Volis> Xark: the regular wires needed to make connections.
[03:43:32] <antto> hahah
[03:45:28] <Xark> :\
[05:01:33] <Volis> Will http://learn.adafruit.com/usbtinyisp work with winavr?
[05:04:42] <Roklobsta> why use winavr and not avrstudio 6.1?
[05:06:40] <Volis> avrstudio is ~500MB last time I checked
[05:07:02] <Volis> It takes me an hour to download a 30 MB file.
[12:09:54] <Xark> Volis: There is also Atmel's GCC toolchain (WinAVR is a bit out of date AFAIK)http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMELAVRTOOLCHAINFORWINDOWS.aspx
[12:10:30] * Xark notices they rolled in 32-bit tools too (so it is not so small...)
[12:12:24] <Xark> Volis: I believe it doesn't matter what tools you use to make an AVR program, as long as you can get a hex file (or can convert to one). WinAVR should be fine (with perhaps an objcopy step to make the hex).
[18:56:38] <braincracker> h
[18:57:52] <Tom_itx> w
[18:58:29] <braincracker> Roklobsta <= my athlon 64 3500+ pc does 5.7 DMIPS / MHz, 2.2Ghz, a cortex a8 with 2 DMIPS / MHz, beaglebone is 1.2GHz... how will your avr32 outperform my my 3500+ ?
[18:59:07] <braincracker> Dhrystones per Second: 22736276.381533
[18:59:07] <braincracker> (relative to the 1 MIP VAX 11/780 that achieves 1757 Dhrystones per second): 12867.163 DMIPS
[19:01:30] <braincracker> http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/628/AMD_Athlon_64_3500+_(rev._E6)_vs_Intel_Celeron_Dual-Core_G1610.html
[19:01:48] <braincracker> AMD 2006 technology vs 2013 intel celeron tech
[19:50:51] <braincracker> dead snow
[19:51:16] <OndraSter__> dead whore
[19:51:19] <OndraSter__> wait what
[19:51:44] <braincracker> oh hai OndraSter__, what are you building?
[19:52:17] <OndraSter__> some serious machines in Minecraft... with gregtech lol
[19:52:25] <braincracker> i'm having a little rest, fixed 6 motherboards
[19:52:31] <OndraSter__> yay
[19:52:40] <OndraSter__> I fixed LCD monitor the other day
[19:52:41] <braincracker> no big deal, only s478
[19:52:48] <OndraSter__> "it takes 5 minutes to power on"
[19:52:51] <OndraSter__> my guess was right
[19:52:52] <OndraSter__> CAPS!
[19:52:58] <braincracker> hehe, the "warm up" period
[19:53:19] <braincracker> yeah mostly caps die on motherboards too
[19:53:24] <OndraSter__> yep
[19:53:37] <braincracker> raraely fets, they even survive desoldering themselves
[19:53:38] <OndraSter__> I fixed my server's (el cheapo) 775 board 2 years ago, half of the caps were blown
[19:53:46] <OndraSter__> put there new ones, worked for 2 years
[19:53:49] <OndraSter__> then the rest blew
[19:53:53] <OndraSter__> so I did an upgrade
[19:54:08] <braincracker> swapping a ddr slot is not that comfortable ;)
[19:56:31] <braincracker> i did that with this board i'm currently on, yesterday
[19:58:21] <braincracker> applying large amounts of heat without melting plastic parts or the board, or damaging nearby components is a tricky task
[20:04:21] <OndraSter__> not worth the trouble braincracker tbh :P
[20:04:42] <braincracker> i like this board ;<
[20:05:14] <braincracker> maybe i put an athlon 64 x2 in it tomorrow (if i can find one)
[20:06:25] <braincracker> a few more GiB ram would be fine too
[20:09:51] <braincracker> but for programming, a beaglebone black would do
[20:10:37] <braincracker> or rather this opensource mini PC https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB/
[20:11:09] <braincracker> it can run quake3 fine lol
