irclog2html for #bzflag on 20040703

00:00.32GeekTechnicaI once spent 15 minutes troubleshooting why this woman's cash registers weren't working, asked her to check the server in the back office and she tells me "ok, let me go get a flashlight"  when I asked her why she says "Oh, because the power went out about a half hour ago"
00:01.16Noodlemani need to calm down now
00:02.42GeekTechnicaheheh.... I remember once this one Aeropostale store (the software co. I worked for creates point of sale and back office retail software) called in to us to see if we could let them out of the store... they closed the electronic gate (it was in a mall) and the power went out and trapped them inside...
00:03.37GeekTechnicathey spent the night in the mall.. turns out that all they had to do was pull a lever for the manual release ;)

02:59.10trepanGrumbler: thx, notice the reflections?
03:09.03lan56what is bzflag.bz, by the way?
03:09.38shoppingit's a domain name?
03:09.51blast007:)
03:09.58lan56smart alic ;) no I mean like what does it do? what is its purpose?
03:10.14shoppingwe shall see
03:10.25lan56well, what does it currently do?
03:10.27blast007well, there are some bzflag servers hosted at that domain at the moment
03:10.48lan56I have visited it, it just says it redirects to bzflag.org, but you often times put stuff on it
03:10.49shoppingfor starters, it'll host several bzflag servers
03:10.55lan56so I know that there is more to it
03:11.02lan56ahh
03:11.26shoppingthe bzflag.bz web space isn't being used much by me, some users have put it to good use
03:11.34shoppingcept for /tmp :)
03:11.45lan56:)
03:12.18shoppinglan56, did you see the graphs?
03:12.25lan56of server usage?
03:12.28shoppingyes
03:12.37lan56only the secretplace one that you linked to
03:12.53shoppinghttp://bzflag.bz/usage/
03:13.18lan56oh, heh, they're all secretplace :)
03:15.20shoppingsecretplace was the only one keeping mrtg statistics
03:15.59CornfedI have noticed that secretplace tends to keep good maintenance on their server
03:16.07shoppingif you look carefully, you should be able to figure out exactly what circumstances a modem will crap out, both upload and download
03:17.00Cornfeddo you know what connection speed secretplace is hosted on?
03:18.32shoppinghe's told me before, but I don't quite recall
03:18.53shoppingit's at least a full T1, iirc
03:19.04Cornfedsounds reasonable
03:21.47blast007<Nidhoggr> I am committed to 2mbps

05:25.32lan56yes :)
05:25.52lan56I am creating a small C program to create a map that is a maze
05:25.59lan56you don't have a tool to do that, do yu?
05:26.00lan56*you
05:26.17trepani've got a tool written for making maps, but not mazes specifically
05:26.21lan56I mean an actual maze, that is like a real hedge maze
05:26.23lan56ahh
05:26.33trepanhttp://members.rogers.com/trepan/, look for bzmapper
05:26.40lan56I have it
05:26.52lan56well, I did have it :)
05:26.56lan56I don't make maps often
05:27.16lan56I did like the ease of compilation, very nice tools they are
05:31.35trepani've seen at least two prior maze maps, maybe you could find out who wrote them, and then ask them for their tools
05:31.52lan56nah, thats just copying what they already did
05:31.58The_Viperi kno maze tools!
05:32.08The_Viperforthfreak made one

05:36.41lan56heh, trepan: I see what you mean by how much fun it is to program programs to create maps for you. not only does it save a whopping amount of time if done right, but it is fun to see the outcome
05:43.27Grumbleryeah, trepan ....the moving water was cool.....made me a little seasick :)
