[05:06] < Lawouach_> morning

[05:06] < Lawouach_> MS-: do you have the name of that cheap RFID reader you had bought a while ago?

[05:17] < aa_> Lawouach_: I got one of these: http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1023 not so cheap

[05:18] < aa_> uk supplier is called "active robots" or so

[05:18] < Lawouach_> okay

[05:18] < Lawouach_> will look at those as well

[05:18] < Lawouach_> ta

[05:18] < aa_> benefit for me was usb + python drivers

[05:22] < Lawouach_> nice

[05:50] *** vmlemon_ has joined #kamaelia

[06:33] < MS-> Lawouach_: I have a tikitag reader. Which just a rebranded normal USB RFID reader, but they've since rebranded

[06:33] < MS-> They were selling off their stock due to infringing a trademark

[06:34] < MS-> They're now called "touchatag"

[06:34] < Lawouach_> right

[06:34] < Lawouach_> I'd be interesting in playing with either one of those and see what fun could come of it

[06:34] < MS-> http://www.touchatag.com/

[06:35] < MS-> They're not difficult to work with AFAICT

[06:36] < MS-> The proximity the tags need is about 2-3 centimetres from the reader

[06:51] < vmlemon_> Hi

[06:51] < MS-> Hi

[11:50] < Lawouach_> MS-: currently is the new scheduler usable?

[11:51] < Lawouach_> I mean, does it break existing code?

[11:51] < MS-> All sorts of code will break with it. Especially network code.

[11:51] < MS-> why do you ask?

[11:52] < Lawouach_> fair enough

[11:52] < Lawouach_> well

[11:52] < Lawouach_> I'm trying to do some heavy XMPP client work right now

[11:52] < Lawouach_> starting about 500 clients in one single process

[11:52] < MS-> Ah

[11:52] < Lawouach_> but I have poor performances

[11:52] < Lawouach_> it might be many things (my code, Axon, ejabberd)

[11:52] *** MS- nods

[11:53] < Lawouach_> so I as curious about that enw scheduler to compare

[11:53] < MS-> But a better scheduler would also almost certainly help

[11:53] < MS-> I see

[11:54] < Lawouach_> it's interesting to see that when at full load, the process is reported to tokae 25% of my CPU but since I have 4 cores in my CPU, I assume it takes 100% of one of them

[11:56] < MS-> I'm not certain of that. It depends on your ps command

[11:56] < MS-> On my machine, which has 2 cores, if I have 2 CPU bound tasks

[11:56] < MS-> it'll say each of them at 99-100% of CPU

[11:57] < MS-> Or even >100% of CPU.

[12:00] < Lawouach_> right

[12:00] < Lawouach_> I'm using actually the KDE system monitor GUI

[12:00] < MS-> Ah, OK

[12:01] < MS-> I'm not sure what that shows

[12:01] < MS-> that may show that

[12:01] < MS-> Thought

[12:01] < MS-> If you're CPU bound

[12:01] < MS-> Then unless you're using processes, with python the GIL could be hurting you

[12:01] < MS-> If your code just relies on pure python code, it *may* be worth trying iron python?

[12:04] < Lawouach_> hmm I can't afford going that road

[12:04] < MS-> k

[12:04] < Lawouach_> but I doubt it's python the culprit

[12:04] < Lawouach_> it could be the MySQL driver of ejabberd, or at least my MySQL server being a bottleneck

[12:04] < MS-> me neither but did spring to mind :)

[12:07] < MS-> Slowly I'm working through stuff. But I wish sometimes it was quicker.

[12:08] < Lawouach_> I hear you

[12:11] < vmlemon_> Heh, the silence is deathening

[12:11] < vmlemon_> *deafening

[12:11] < vmlemon_> Grr

[12:11] < vmlemon_> I can't type this afternoon :(

[12:12] < vmlemon_> Suppose that's what happens when you haven't been able to sleep for weeks

[12:13] < vmlemon_> Heh, not sure how that typo came to be

[12:14] < Lawouach_> :p
