Jayenkai	\o/yeay\o/

steve_ancell	Waited in until about 1:30 but it never turned up so I guess I will have it next week unless it got delivered while I was out. I guess I will know when I get home.
Sat, 03 Nov 2012, 12:11
steve_ancell	I got home and it's not here yet, looks like I'm waiting until after the weekend but that's better than waiting another 4 months.
Sat, 03 Nov 2012, 12:14
steve_ancell	I suppose I had better start looking at tutorials coz I want to do some machine level stuff, bare-metal programming is what RPi should be about not just Linux on yet another machine.

steve_ancell	9572AD Port Android to it if you want a project. I think someone else has already.

spinal	They're working on it at least. There are a couple of hobbie ports floating around, but without access to the gfx libraries they remain sluggish and jittery. There is word of an official ics build, there's a youtube vid showing it off, but there has been no news since the original announcement. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

steve_ancell	Just got back from the school run... Still no delivery. \|edit\| I thought Parcelforce 24 was supposed to be a 24 hour thing. \|edit\|
Mon, 05 Nov 2012, 03:11
Jayenkai	It's still early, yet. My postie doesn't get off his arse until early afternoon... say about HALF ONE, or thereabouts. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 05 Nov 2012, 03:14
steve_ancell	It's not being delivered by a usual postman, it comming by Parcelforce 24. It should get here eventually, I just have itchy finger syndrome that's all.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012, 03:16
steve_ancell	Come to think of it though, I think it may have been about 11:30-ish when the original one arrived.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012, 03:18
steve_ancell	I hope it arrives soonish though coz I've got to go out again soon to pay the rent and stuff, I don't want to have to go around trying to track it down if a missed-call card gets posted coz our delivery office is complete bollocks.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012, 15:08
steve_ancell	Oh well!, it never turned up.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 02:51
Jayenkai	Pants...
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 04:27
steve_ancell	The bloomin' thing still hasn't turned up. When I checked the tracking number the system didn't show any info, I checked it today and it now states it has been tracked at Gatwick and expected delivery for 5th of November, that's fucking yesterday.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 04:30
steve_ancell	The '24' in the name Pacelforce24 is a real bad issue of false advertising, 24 what?... 24 fucking years most probably. \|edit\| Gatwick is less than a half hour drive from where I live, it would probably be quicker for me to go and get it myself but they would probably come out with some bollocks like it's already on the van or something. \|edit\|

rockford	Surely you mean ParcelFARCE? Or is it indeed Arsel-Farce
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:19
steve_ancell	Well it has just this second turned up, now let's see if the bastard works. More update later.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:22
Jayenkai	\o/yeay\o/
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:25
steve_ancell	Just got it out of the packet and the bastards have replaced it with a 256MB model, the other one was 512MB but still, better than nothing I suppose. Now let's plug this thing in.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:40
steve_ancell	So far plugged it in, it crashed my TV set, I had to unplug it and then re-plug, during POST screen first time but I have now got it into desktop mode.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:43
Jayenkai	Yikes! It's not sounding great, but it is at least good to know that this one's working! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:45
rockford	At least you got there in the end.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:49
steve_ancell	It's been running in desktop for more than 5 minutes now but let's see what happens when I start using some processing power.
Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 05:52
rockford	KA-BOOOOOOM!!!! I could hear the explosion from here!
