    Have you got an ethernet shield?
    If so this may interest you:
    http://forum.stellarisiti.com/topic/1893-simple-irc-example/

    As this is for the Tiva connected launchpad in the energia IDE rather than arduino IDE with an AVR and ethernet shield a few changes need to be made for it to compile. Set buffersize needs commenting out

    I had to #define USR_SW1 2 and add an include for SPI (the Tiva connected launchpad has ethernet integrated not SPI slave) for it to build for my arduino mega. Sketch size estimated at 16334 bytes with 1624 bytes of SRAM usage. I don't have an ethernet shield to test it with (do have the tiva instead though :p). Still, arduino IRC bots ftw.

    Cream soda is my favorite. Especially Sprecher or A&W. But I'll generally have any cream soda I can get my hands on.

    I would drink a lot more, but the water at my house is only good at midnight and the only other good water is at school from the water fountains.

    the beauty of the IRC protocol, so simple and open that a client can be written on just about any platform in theory (in practice it will be interesting to see how the AtMega copes).




    All done and dusted at uni for this academic year. Sitting on ass til september, bored already

    Who remembers that beast? My $60 bike is doing me well, after a while it didn't start, took like 200 kicks. Turns out one of the tappets was stuck down, so I changed that and it runs like a beast.

    Also.. I cut up some plastics from a KX125 to fit, doesn't it look like swag? I was thinking I'll spray the rest black, and sticker it.

    Fully rebuilt KX125 on the left ^^ It scares me.

    OMG! I finally get to see what that bike looks like, after almost me buying you a new one. You don't need a new one that looks like gold. ;)

    I recall someone saying how with linux they could never get ethernet or wifi working on their PC. Well I found an old memory stick this morning with a bit of tape around it saying "linux", used it years ago with a Linux live installer on it. Booted it up on my laptop to see what version, had a few hiccups with not getting any display output (nomodeset from grub fixed this) to find it live booting into what appeared to be a much older version of Linux Mint than I expected.
    Code:
    cat /etc/linuxmint/info
    RELEASE=12
    CODENAME=list
    EDITION="Gnome 64-bit"
    DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 12 List"
    
    Cut it off there. That version was released on the 26th of November 2011.
    First thing that appeared besides the desktop itself, "Wireless Networks Available"

    Now to hit submit reply, shut down, reboot to windows and wipe this USB :p I'll set it up with something else later

    Nope, T190 Toyota Corona :p

    Anyways, the wheels look good, even at it's current ride height, but of course if you drop it like it's hot that's even better;)

    Yes, the Carina and Corona both used the same chassis. I remember you mentioning a while ago what it was, but I forgot, so I guessed Corona, which was wrong:p

    Also, is it a Japanese imported, from what I've heard you guys get lots of cars imported from Japan, and I think the Carina was a Japan only model.

    Ah yeah, though they look quite different. ;)

    And yeah, 99% of the cars here in New Zealand are Japanese. I'm pretty sure my car had one owner in Japan before it was shipped here, IIRC, then my granddad bought it, which eventually got to me. Only 115k km/s on the clock right now, which is shit all for the age. Got it for $850 USD :p
