<wolfspraul> Adam finished all testing successfully, a total of 500 render cycles on 32 boards (2*100 plus 30*10)
<wolfspraul> no problem encountered, so he is now starting with assembly, a final render test with the fully assembled unit, and packing
<mw2> hi
<lekernel> hi mwalle
<lekernel> how are you?
<mwalle> fine :)
<mwalle> relaxed *g*
<mwalle> lekernel: any news?
<lekernel> yeah, we are finally sorting out the production :)
<lekernel> should be shipping this week hopefully
<mwalle> oh cool :)
<lekernel> i've been also working on http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/714/tdc_v2.pdf lately
<mwalle> vhdl?
<lekernel> yes
<mwalle> no more verilog? :)
<mwalle> and what input signals are you measuring?
<lekernel> well, they wanted VHDL
<lekernel> if they asked me, I'd probably have given MyHDL a try
<mwalle> 'they'?
<lekernel> well, probably some particle accelerator related signal :-) but you can do anything, LIDARs for example are cool
<lekernel> CERN
<mwalle> ah cool :)
<lekernel> it was a project contract from them; and they will release it under LGPL
<lekernel> omfg sozi is so slow
<kristianpaul> afaik :|
<wpwrak> hmm, so that's code and data to generate the video clip ? (i don't know the video)
<lekernel> yeah
<lekernel> what makes it more interesting is they have used this thing to acquire the data http://www.velodyne.com/lidar/hdlproducts/hdl64e.aspx
<wpwrak> "The HDL-64E's patented one-piece design" sigh.
<lekernel> yeah well
<lekernel> more often than not, new technology isn't open
<wpwrak> that's one deplorable thing. the other is that "patented" is used as if it conveyed a positive connotation.
<wpwrak> well, there were probably times when it was quite fashionable to praise the large quantity of slaves a business possessed, so ...
<lekernel> linux is a copy of unix, git is a copy of bitkeeper, etc. and outside the little world of software, the situation is so awful rms does not want to look
<lekernel> haha
<lekernel> I tend to send this link http://totallyabsurd.com/ to people who believe 'patented' means 'good' :-)
<lekernel> all the patents on this site that I checked are real :)
<wpwrak> ... you're (physically) a copy of your parents, ... without copying, there's no life. kinda weakens the whole "copying is evil" argument :)
<wpwrak> (totallyabsurd) the ads on the page add a bit of a surreal touch :)
<wpwrak> well, a patent on a device of dubious utility. i'm somehow not very worried about these :)
<wpwrak> of course, the inventor of the wheel may have been ridiculed quite a bit, too ... ;-)
