@Serg FRIEND OR PHO! The game where you need to decide between a steaming bowl of wonderful noodles, or saving your friend from deadly lethal peril!

Terrance

@Serg Yummy! We have a place out here that serves it that way. It is a hole-in-the-wall type joint, but extremely good Pho. =)

Serg

@JourneymanGeek if my friend is a badass , i can let him be and will take pho ,lol

He can figure out issues by himself

@Terrance can i ask a question about serial port again by the way ?

Terrance

@Serg Sure

Q: PICDEM board and Linux connection through serial

TL;DR: I can open screen or putty session in terminal to the /dev/ttyUSB0, but characters transmitted are invisible. What could be the possible issue ? I have PICDEM board with PIC18F87J11 and PIC18F8722 microcontrollers, connecting the board through serial to USB cable to my Ubuntu Linux lapto...

That .....

Basically i can read helloworld in windows putty, but in Ubuntu it's all invisible

But i receive something, but it's all invisible

Terrance

@Serg I think you need to put a console=ttyUSB0 on the kernel line for the GRUB. Then reboot that host to enable it.

@Serg or it would be like console=ttyUSB0,9600 for speed

Serg

@Terrance sooo what you're saying is boot with microcontroller attatched ?

Terrance

@Serg I don't know if you have to have it attached, but putting that console= tells the OS where the remote console will be connecting through. All the servers I have to deal with have some sort of BMC / Lights Out Management, etc on them and they need the console= or they don't work

Terrance

@Serg Let me see if I have an Ubuntu host that is a server booted up here to compare what I told you.

@dn-ʞɔɐqɹW hdd arrived, need to find a spare enclosure

Terrance

@Serg Hmmmm, I don't have any right now.

@Serg This has the way to add the serial console lines to the grub.

@TheBrownOne Woohoo!!!!

btw: I was just updating index.html...

FYI: website was owned by root, so I had to chown it.

user139252

That's fine, thought I set it up properly

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

@TheBrownOne Do you like it? (so far...)

And thanks for putting it in there!

James

Hey Ubuntu folks, got a question for you...

SpeakerDeck or Slideshare?

Which one looks like the least crappy of an experience for someone who wants to see a presentation?

Oli

They're both about the same IMO. My biggest problem with both is there are a load of talks on there without the corresponding audio and slide timing. A lot of them don't make any sense without a speaker.

James

12:59 AM

Right.

But I want to provide it not for readers, but for those who were there.

Ok, SpeakerDeck it is. Looks a little nicer.

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

@James Neither works without JS

James

That's OK.

I have a friend who uses NoScript, and I'm tired of putting up with his BS so I don't even listen to him when he says "JavaScript"

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

@James speakerdeck works without cookies...

James

(Stupid IT security people)

lol

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

(and I can click any website bomb, look at their source and decide whether to proceed or not.)

So from a security perspective: my choice would be speakerdeck...

James

1:04 AM

More power to you.

user139252

@dn-ʞɔɐqɹW looks good

James

Of course it'll be available as a PDF directly from my site, if that isn't your thing.

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

(path of least resistance, including security-minded individuals)

:-)

@TheBrownOne :-) Thanks... I'm going to be dreaming up what I'll actually do with it...

IOW: I'm off to bed..

Good night all! (including @GeorgetheDev)

@Oli: If you would have told me when I was 15 that one day I would really miss a robot wishing me good night, I wouldn't have believed you. (What does it take for George to be allowed back in here?)

Mateo

@James I like the second one - clear slide changes, and previews of each slide on scrolling as slides - the other looks too much like a movie with markers

James

@Mateo Too late, I already uploaded it and wrote my blog post. lol

Mateo

1:14 AM

which one did you choose?

James

SpeakerDeck

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

Unable to connect

James

@dn-ʞɔɐqɹW not there

it'll be on my personal blog

Mateo

cool, well my input for next time ;)

James

noted!

Mateo

1:16 AM

oh, is that owned by github? that's cool

um... slideshare got my name from somewhere...

that is creepy

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

@James so I decided to try and emulate his setup as best as I could.

James

@dn-ʞɔɐqɹW Whose?

Mateo

O_o

Derp.

you know how many people didn't catch that?

now i look like an idiot

None of my proof readers caught that

hell, i didn't

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

"On windows 1" should read "On window s 1"

"regardless of if" = "regardless whether"

James

I really need to find someone else to proof read.

Because my current one sucks since they didn't catch those first 2.

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

a friends Chromebook = a friend ' s Chromebook

Back when I was a kid, "an internet", "the Internet"

(dunno if that's still relevant today.)

Mateo

how in the world can I be logged into slideshare??

James

@Mateo linkedin

Mateo

1:25 AM

blah

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

@James Done! That's it...

Mateo

wow, that is crazy

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

Do you have my tox? If yes, you can send me a link there next time to proofread...

Mateo

never even visited this place - and it is auto logged in

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

(I used to be an English teacher in Russia, remember?)

Mateo

1:26 AM

does linkedin never log you out?

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

I just don't see the difference between "then" and "than"... (I know it but as I learned how to program if/then/else before I learnt good English, it never stuck)

@Mateo they use internal super-cookies, so : hardly ever!

(I only get logged out if FF upgrades or I change ISPs)

Mateo

well, ignore my first impression on the ui then ;) that having a account and not knowing about it, as well as being auto-logged-in...

dn-ʞɔɐq ɹW

:D

Anyway: shutdown -h now

good night!
