[02:12:15] <inflex> lo all
[14:31:44] <LeoNerd> If anyone's interested in my talk at LPW about the Bus Pirate and Perl, the video's now up here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adKBkaZ3cE4
[14:32:03] <LeoNerd> The sound quality isn't brilliant, but it should all be audible. If there's any unclear bits I can probably fill them in from memory
[15:19:20] * twnqx is unhappy with the bus pirate
[15:19:37] <twnqx> it can hang in binary spi mode
[15:19:48] <twnqx> despite the source code being absolutely correct
[15:26:14] <LeoNerd> Yeah; I've noticed that
[16:21:23] <hypermagic> hello my friends
[16:59:11] <bitd> Good talk LeoNerd
[17:00:18] <LeoNerd> :)
[17:00:25] <twnqx> LeoNerd: did you ever find an explanation?
[17:00:29] <LeoNerd> I was sortof disorganised at the start
[17:00:43] <twnqx> i never understood how it could happen
[17:02:26] <twnqx> (unless the serial port gets SO desynced that it doesn't really receive what you send it any more)
[17:03:47] <bitd> LeoNerd, I did my thesis defence two weeks ago. At first when you start in front of a crowd your mind registers "uh oh".
[17:03:59] <bitd> And then you get back on your feet slowly, and the story starts to flow.
[17:04:26] <LeoNerd> Yah
[17:05:09] <twnqx> and it gets easier every time you do it :)
[17:05:22] <LeoNerd> Heh.. this was about my.. er... 9th talk?
[17:05:45] <bitd> twnqx, it also gets easier with oxazepam >.>
[17:05:50] <twnqx> nah
[17:05:53] <twnqx> unneeded
[17:06:00] <bitd> But its so goooood >.>
[17:06:51] <bitd> But indeed, its not needed, you get better with repetition.
[17:07:06] <LeoNerd> The only trouble with this talk was that I arrived literally ~30 seconds before I was due on stage
[17:07:11] <LeoNerd> So I was way too rushed at the beginning
[17:07:12] <twnqx> lol
[17:07:52] <bitd> I arrived two minutes before my presentation, to find a beamer with a broken lamp :P
[17:08:23] <LeoNerd> Tricky
[17:08:39] <bitd> Swap lamp, blame facility management >.>
[17:08:40] <LeoNerd> Heh.. so my first ever talk was at LPW... hrm.. 2009 or so? 2010 maybe? Turned out there wasn't a VGA cable.
[17:08:43] <LeoNerd> Or... any cable
[17:08:52] <bitd> Haha, classic.
[17:08:58] <LeoNerd> I did the talk using the OHP slide camera from paper notes
[17:09:22] <twnqx> unscrew display
[17:09:26] <twnqx> remove backlight
[17:09:31] <twnqx> put bare pane on OHP
[17:09:33] <twnqx> :D
[17:10:06] <bitd> But twnqx had a good question before I interrupted.
