17:16.02claymoreyou didn't go vista, didja?
17:16.17mafmnope, they sent me a recruitment message
17:16.28claymoreOh well hell, go for it.
17:16.58claymoreMy Brother in law works for them on the Silverlight project.... its an amazing company to work for, regardless of the public opinion of their products :)
17:19.36mafmwell, it depends where I would be going to be relocated :D
17:19.45mafmbut I'm not very thrilled
17:19.56claymoreThere is only one place:  Washington State ;)
17:19.59claymorewhy not?
17:20.06mafmI don't want to move there
17:20.22claymorewhy not?
17:20.22mafmand I don't like working on things that I don't like, in general
17:20.27mafmpersonal reasons :P
17:20.38mafmincluding familiar and so on :)
17:21.14claymoreWell, 'No good deal goes unpunished' so take the good with the bad and fine that place that fits you just right.
17:21.42claymoreWell if I got extended a deal to move back to the west coast, I would be there in an instant.  No second thoughts.
17:24.28mafmxD
17:24.42mafmThe west coast of US is about 9k km away from home
17:27.50claymoreTrue, but West coast is way better than East coast in my opinion.  I am about 4.5k km away from where I grew up and where my family is... :/  its all about choices :)
17:29.37mafmI've never been in the US but I probably won't like it very much
17:29.40mafm:D

17:37.43mafmthanks for the offer anyway
17:37.56mafmI hope to go at some point of visiting and so on

17:49.44starseekerscowls at automake
17:50.33claymoreah hell, I forgot to renew one of my domains... its in reconsiliation now *grumbles*
17:53.22claymoreBoooo.  Bad joke:  Penguin computing solutions just came out with a new gen of Blade servers... code named Bladerunners......
17:53.29claymorehisses and jeers
17:54.08starseekerare they at least good machines?
17:54.24louipcwere they trying to be funny or trying to be cool?
17:55.38claymorelouipc: I dunno.
17:56.19claymorestarseeker:  Oh, they are great machines.  I think the Bladerunner can get 960 cores into 25U space  ( I think i read that right)
17:56.37louipc25U...
17:56.39starseekercoool :-)
17:56.49starseekercan forgive the bad joke
17:56.57claymorestarseeker:  some of the newer server we have here are 2U penguin machines...
17:57.44claymorelol 3.84TB of ram...lol
17:58.07louipcthat is some amazing power
17:59.01claymoreas thinking he could be #1 on the Seti@Home rankings in no time with that machine.....
18:01.38claymorejust think about the electrical power requirements of a computeNet like that at 100%.... lol
18:02.01claymore"Hell, we lost power.  Fire up all the backup generators, we need to reboot"
18:02.46claymoreHow to make a power plant cry....
18:04.19mafmback
18:05.03starseekerheh - what nuclear power plants were invented for
18:06.17claymoreI need a nuke plant for my current server.  4 HD's and 7 80mm fans.  Loud and power hungry!
18:26.50mafmgoing home, take care :)
18:26.59claymorelater!
19:12.31starseekerregrets not having an office to himself so he can yell at autotools properly
19:13.08starseekerok, when all else fails, back to square one - the docs

21:53.27punkrockgirlhi
21:57.53louipchi
21:59.10brlcad'lo
21:59.43starseekerbrlcad:  Trying to get a read on how to make automake and TEA play together - I think the time has finally come for me to come to grips with autotools
22:01.26brlcadTEA sets a bunch of flags, those flags/variables are documented in the .m4 file -- you just have to make sure those flags get set to the appropriate FLAGS variables in the .am file
22:01.43starseekernods
22:02.34starseekerI'm sure it's not difficult, but the fact I can't easily set it up underscores my need to do my homework
22:02.56brlcade.g. TEA_CONFIG_CFLAGS -- sets a whole bunch of flags, one being LDFLAGS
22:03.35starseekerWould a proper Makefile.am remove the need for tcl.m4 altogether?
22:04.24brlcadin configure, you'd want to capture the current LDFLAGS settings, run TEA_CONFIG_CFLAGS, store LDFLAGS into another variable (like TKHTML_LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS"), restore the original LDFLAGS, then use TKHTML_LDFLAGS in your .am file(s) as needed
22:04.33brlcadno it wouldn't
22:04.48punkrockgirlhas anyone talked to erik?
22:04.55brlcad.am files are just templates, they have no real inherint knowledge
22:04.59brlcadpunkrockgirl: probably
22:05.15starseekerpunkrockgirl:  not me
22:05.33brlcadsomebody at some point somewhere has probably talked to him ;)
