17:58.21Notify03GCI: Sean: Web interface (AJAX?) to MGED - mged   mged can take commands in a whole variety of ways including one-at-a-time but it's best to establish a back-end "session" with mged so that you don't have to keep re-invoking it. That way you can stream back responses/output too for commands like "rt" that take a while. http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7993224

18:10.22SilvrousI think I may have found a bug in Add_vert_and_norm()
18:12.05SilvrousI only saw today that a part of my tests fail when it is given an already existing vertex, it can't find it and makes a new one
18:13.17SilvrousIf the existing vertex has index 0 it works, if it's 1 it fails.

22:16.13Notify03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 54130 brlcad/trunk/CMakeLists.txt: Windows uses neither X11 nor Aqua, but still needs OpenGL and enables Tk.
22:17.27``Erikhuh, "trackbar.pl" for irssi, cool beans
22:17.54starseeker``Erik: sorry about not updating the filenames
22:18.28starseekerout of curiosity - why do we use that particular convention?
22:18.40``Erikdoesn't bother me, I was just being theatrical :D I think silvrous fixed 'em all
22:19.14starseekerheh
22:19.19``Erikum, I d'no, the spaced and capped style always bothered me... putting the filename in might be a relic from back when hard drives were slightly less reliable and you'd frequently get files in your lost+found/ dirs
22:19.30starseekeris often guilty of forgetting to update that name
22:19.44starseekerwinces
22:19.51starseekeryeah, that would suck
22:20.08``Erikthe styling of the filename is probably an artifact of old army style, when all forms were in caps by regulation, etc
22:21.08``Erikputs on his drill sergeant voice
22:21.35starseekersees if turning OpenGL and Tk on helped the Windows build...
22:21.39``ErikLOWER CA... O.o ? LOWER CASE? THIS IS THE GODDAMN ARMY, SON, WE DON'T DO ANYTHING LOWER, NOW HOLD THAT SHIFT KEY DOWN AND ENTER THE DATA!
22:21.50starseekerheh
22:22.01starseekerlike the early lisp days
22:22.06starseekeror, excuse me, LISP
22:22.35``ErikI'm not sure early hollerith readers had the bandwidth to have two case sets
22:22.54starseekerpoint
22:23.31``Erikso, yeh, trackbar.pl... if you use irssi, I recommend checking it out
22:24.05``Erikputs a horizontal mark at your last activity, so you can quickly scroll up to the last place you read after you're afk
22:24.41``Erik<-- was looking for some script fu to do /mark and put a horizontal mark, thsi one does the updating automagically :D
