The missed the real fun stuff like using eproms to burn your programs. Then testing by tweaking the code then burning it then running it then erasing it the starting over |

Also the equivalent of printf's in embedded was the toggling of a certain extra pin on the chip or for the more fancy sending morse code through said pin (and pray that your ISRs weren't hosed!) |

Really interesting as it gave me a lot more to think about |
| 2009-04-30 |

I'll have to try and get that posted to the vision forum today for comment |

| 2009-04-30 |
07:51:10 AM |

The Ubuntu+B202+CommandIR combination seems still a lot more flakier than ALIX+Voyage+CommandIR |
| 2009-04-30 |
12:09:25 PM |
jean-luc |
|
in what way? |
| 2009-04-30 |

ubuntu works randomly |
| 2009-04-30 |

|
voyage always works |
| 2009-04-30 |
12:10:07 PM |
jean-luc |
|
I have had no problems so far with the 'working' part |
| 2009-04-30 |
12:10:35 PM |
jean-luc |
|
I do have to do irw though as part of the starting? to get commandir 'green' |
| 2009-04-30 |
12:10:54 PM |
jean-luc |
|
once it's green it's been stable for me |
| 2009-04-30 |
12:11:30 PM |
jean-luc |
|
but comparred to voyage it's probably enormous bloatware |
| 2009-04-30 |
02:15:08 PM |
*juha* |
|
not really a question of bloat but having less moving parts and "magic" happening on the background -- it's much better for hardware appliance |
| 2009-04-30 |

generic user-facing OS makes some things more difficult |

eApps moves their secondary DNS servers to external network -- that should help with DNS redundancy somewhat in case of more power failures |

BTW, Juha, turn off tracker on Ubuntu. Tracker kills Ubuntu |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:56:11 PM |
ncherry |
|
Juha, correct! |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:56:12 PM |
juha5191 |
|
what is tracker? |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:56:46 PM |

|
Tracker is an app that searches the hard disk fro information. It runs 7x24 |

MS is feeding IE8 through auto-update this week |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:57:29 PM |
ncherry |
|
I don't know how to turn it off but I renamed the binary to kill it then did a sudo killall trackerd |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:57:41 PM |
juha5191 |

ok |

Work won't let us use IE7 or 8 |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:59:04 PM |
juha5191 |
|
well since you'd ever only use the browser for reading technical documentaion with no pictures, they figure it doesnt matter |
| 2009-04-30 |
06:59:42 PM |
ncherry |
|
But I like looking at the pitures of the routers |
| 2009-04-30 |
07:00:00 PM |
juha5191 |
|
uhh sure... |
| 2009-04-30 |
07:00:09 PM |
juha5191 |
|
you can still get ASCII pictures of routers |
| 2009-04-30 |

Hey, I just thought of something (owe ) .. can I download the OpenRemote graphics to my iPod to use as a background? |
| 2009-04-30 |

I'll have my iPod back in a few minutes. I lent it to my wife |
| 2009-04-30 |
09:22:15 PM |

I don't know. I never see the background on any of my machines as my terminal sessions are opened anyway |
| 2009-04-30 |

I fixed the download problem, Apple won't let you downlaod until you agree to the EULA. Did it via the Window iTune application |
