[01:54:44] <megal0maniac> Programming 1. :/
[02:01:17] <megal0maniac> Which translates into not programming
[02:10:09] * megal0maniac considers ordering K&R
[02:14:01] <Casper> megal0maniac: atleast you'Re still alive
[02:14:05] <Casper> that's a good thing
[02:14:35] <megal0maniac> So I've heard. They recommend C: How to Program (Harvey & Dietel)
[03:48:29] <specing> megal0maniac_afk: hahahahahahahahahaha
[03:48:56] <specing> megal0maniac_afk: theres a pdf of K&R on the net
[10:54:04] <megal0maniac_afk> specing: I know :) There a PDF of Harvey & Dietel too. But I'd rather get a physical copy of one of them, and K&R seems to be the one to go for if I want to use it later on.
[11:08:47] <specing> yes
[11:44:36] <OndraSter__> book
[11:44:38] <OndraSter__> about programming?
[11:44:39] <OndraSter__> meh
[11:48:03] <specing> get out
[11:53:49] <OndraSter__> y? :(
[11:55:52] <ravon> :D
[12:34:26] <N1njaneer> megal0maniac: Harvey & Deitel? LOL That's awesome! I assume you mean Deitel & Deitel as in the C++ book, and not Harvey Keitel, the American actor.
[12:39:00] <N1njaneer> Though if he wrote a book about C++ programming I'd absolutely buy it.
[12:39:49] <N1njaneer> I think we need to have modern directors that teach classes on subjects in the styles of their movies. Like... Quetin Tarintino explains polymorphism and class inheritance.
[12:43:51] <N1njaneer> Pixars new movie. A lonely class with private functions finds a friend
[12:48:11] <RikusW> Some actors can explain those in terms of genetics :-P
[12:49:32] <RikusW> multiple inheritance usually results in a divorce where humans are concerned :-P
[12:56:34] <SleepersTide> finally got these nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz modules working
[12:56:57] <SleepersTide> culprit turns out to have been insufficient 3.3v filtering
[12:57:23] <SleepersTide> not sure what I expected from ebay stuff
[12:58:39] <N1njaneer> Yeah, you want lots of decoupling and clean power.
[12:59:02] <N1njaneer> It's even more fun if you need to pass FCC radiated emissions :)
[13:02:43] <SleepersTide> I don't think that's likely to happen for little $1 ebay wireless modules
[13:03:46] <SleepersTide> anyway... now that I've got them working, I can proceed to hilariously over-engineer some garden lights
[13:08:51] <N1njaneer> Sweet!
[14:32:14] <N1njaneer> Quiet day in here
[15:09:48] <RikusW> silent sundays are worse :-P
[15:28:33] <nickoe> People on vacation
[16:08:54] <N1njaneer> Hey Rok, fix yer board?
[16:12:27] <Roklobsta|2> N1njaneer: got a gun, need to burn things off now
[16:12:32] <Roklobsta|2> later today
[16:12:38] <N1njaneer> Sweet
[17:24:03] <OndraSter_> is it worth getting GPIB adapter for PC (or make your own out of cheap parts)?
[17:24:06] <OndraSter_> nowadays
[17:24:06] <OndraSter_> since nowadays it isall about USB
[17:24:06] <OndraSter_> is all*
[17:24:06] <OndraSter_> I have got here some GPIB stuff (scope and analyzer)
[17:24:39] <specing> GPIB?
[17:27:10] <Roklobsta|2> get a usb gpib interface.
[17:27:23] <N1njaneer> Stuff is cheap enough that it may actually be less expensive to just buy a USB logic anaylzer
[17:27:27] <Roklobsta|2> if you have time, make your own. It's a pretty simple 1960's protocol
[17:27:59] <Roklobsta|2> i know a lot of ancient but perfectly good test gear is still in use that is controlled by bpib
[17:29:38] <OndraSter_> specing, HPIB, if you are older than 30 years
[17:29:39] <OndraSter_> Roklobsta|2, well yes, but is it worth it?
[17:29:40] <OndraSter_> I will be programming some stuff with GPIB at school (work, not study) - automated measuring of some sort
[17:29:40] <OndraSter_> from dynamo
[17:29:43] <OndraSter_> before - a lot of old, partially manual, stuff
[17:29:45] <OndraSter_> now - a rack of measuring/powering stuff
[17:29:45] <OndraSter_> connected by GPIB
[17:30:13] <OndraSter_> the previous guy got the main library to talk over the GPIB talking
[17:30:14] <OndraSter_> aye
[17:30:14] <OndraSter_> I will have to do the actual app :D
[17:30:21] <OndraSter_> and since nobody cares about linux (except like 10 people... out of 700+) I will be using, wait for it, C#!
[17:30:56] <OndraSter_> probably
[17:30:56] <OndraSter_> yes, sure it is a simple protocol
[17:30:56] <OndraSter_> but are the messages std as well?
[17:31:35] <Roklobsta|2> cheap ebay usb/gpib should work with the usual gpib libs
[17:33:26] <OndraSter_> haha cheap, starting at $79+20 from china
[17:33:26] <OndraSter_> I think I will just build my own
[17:34:17] <Tom_itx> i think you should
[17:34:49] <OndraSter_> but I have got like 20 projects waiting!
[17:35:06] <Tom_itx> you'll not be bored
[18:34:34] <theBear> wtf is a gpib ?
[18:35:12] <Casper> what? how can you don't know what a gpib is! c'mon theBear! everyone know what it is!
[18:36:03] <theBear> i dunno man ! i dunno . . .
[18:36:06] <Tom_itx> yeah, geesh
[18:36:19] <theBear> err
[18:36:23] <theBear> w
[18:37:19] <Tom_itx> general purpose interface buss
[18:37:54] <Tom_itx> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE-488
[18:38:43] <theBear> hmmm, 488 ? that kinda sounds familiar, but while i needed many things over the years, i don't think that one ever come up :)
[18:39:13] <Tom_itx> probably why you've not heard of it
[18:39:50] <theBear> i assume so :)
