02:46:26vogon_jeltzis back (gone 11:04:12)
02:46:30captain_protonwb
02:46:34vogon_jeltzhi
02:46:42captain_proton11 hours of TV? yuk
02:47:06vogon_jeltzhah
02:47:19vogon_jeltzactually, more like 2 hours of TV, 8 hours of sleep, and then a trip to the dentist
02:47:28captain_protoni'm working on dropping jeff M's new rendering code in
02:47:42vogon_jeltzhah
02:47:54vogon_jeltzmy Spam poetry has been modded up to 4, Funny on /.
02:48:11captain_protonisn't that a very old article?
02:48:21vogon_jeltznope
02:48:26vogon_jeltzthe results are new-ish
02:48:30vogon_jeltzthe announcement is old
02:49:23captain_protonresults?
02:49:35vogon_jeltzyeah
02:49:50vogon_jeltzI didn't win, so I posted my entry in the result announcement thread :P
02:49:51captain_protonbrings up /.
02:52:32captain_protonthe winner's poem is genius
02:52:39vogon_jeltzheh
02:53:14vogon_jeltzstrictly spam or freestyle?
02:53:25captain_protonstrictly spam
02:53:36vogon_jeltzIMHO, that's not all that great
02:55:08captain_protonthats just because your entry didn't win :)
02:55:32vogon_jeltzhah
02:55:41vogon_jeltzno, I'm serious... I don't like it all that much
02:56:47vogon_jeltz"Christina, How Could You Do This To Me?" is better, IMHO
02:57:36captain_protonyou just don't appreciate vulgarity :)
02:57:39vogon_jeltzhah
02:57:58vogon_jeltzhttp://www.satirewire.com/features/poetry_spam/spam_winner.shtml <-- this is the best one of all of them I've seen
02:58:25vogon_jeltzBrazen Teen Bitches, / Take a serious look at your life. / And allow me to introduce / a powerful new substance / from the Electri-Cellular Industry. / Electrigel Creme
02:58:47captain_protonyeah i agree
02:59:51vogon_jeltzhttp://www.satirewire.com/features/poetry_spam/rap.shtml <-- this one is a close runner-up :)
03:00:09vogon_jeltzDon't delete this! SAVE IT! / Save the planet! Save THE TREES! / Our gorgeous teenage sluts ARE HOT / And so ready TO PLEASE!
03:02:55vogon_jeltzYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, / I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, / Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. / And can now be 50 Percent Larger in Three Weeks. Guaranteed.
03:03:59vogon_jeltzSurely goodness and mercy shall follow me, / All the days of my life, / And I will dwell forever, / In the House of the Lord, / Which I shall refinanceth, / To take advantage, / Of the lowest mortgage rates in years.
03:44:32captain_protonhey JeffM2501
04:02:31JeffM2501hey
04:27:04captain_protonalmost done converting everything over to the new rendering code
04:28:53JeffM2501cool
04:29:29JeffM2501I'm presently going thru windows machine withdrawls :(
04:34:43captain_protonhuh?
04:35:08JeffM2501my main PC was a loaner P4
04:35:15JeffM2501I had to give it back
04:35:19captain_proton:(
04:35:32captain_protonmy main machine is just a paid-for P4 :)
04:35:48JeffM2501so I'm down to this linux machine and a PII-333
04:36:00JeffM2501I'm gonna get an Athalon XP soon
04:36:21captain_protonfun
04:36:31JeffM2501should be
04:36:50JeffM2501so now I'm geting windows installed on my "backup" windows machine
04:37:31captain_protonlol...i go through withdrawls when i'm forced to use a windows box ;)
04:38:25JeffM2501I guess it's all what your used to
04:38:33JeffM2501There are things I like about each of em
04:39:05captain_protonwhat do you like about windows?
04:39:13JeffM2501moslty app that are on it
04:39:32JeffM2501and programing for it is prety consistent
04:39:41JeffM2501I could not live without photoshop
04:39:51captain_protonheh yeah
04:39:56JeffM2501and I haven't found anything like dev studio on linux
04:41:28JeffM2501but I guess the bigest thing I like on windows is the consistency of interface
04:41:50captain_protonanjusta.sourceforge.net
04:44:24JeffM2501not found
04:46:26captain_protonoops
04:46:32captain_protonanjuta.sourceforge.net
04:54:24JeffM2501interesting
04:54:27JeffM2501I installed it
04:54:34JeffM2501I'll have to take a look at it
04:54:41JeffM2501I've also looked at Kdevelop
04:54:42captain_protoni've been stealing code from them for my latest project :)
04:55:41JeffM2501it just bugs me that everyone has there own difrent interface, it gets confusing
04:56:21captain_protonwell in linux there are 2 biggies - kde and gnome
04:56:50captain_protoni use almost all gnome apps, so i have a pretty consistent interface
04:58:13JeffM2501KDE seems prety consistent too, but it seems that everyone who makes an app tweaks it a little
04:58:27JeffM2501Gnome don't run so fast on my machine
05:00:39captain_protonwell i don't run gnome, i just use gnome apps...
05:00:59JeffM2501yeah I do too, I've been looking at GTK
05:15:19captain_protonhey timmy
08:18:31vogon_jeltzis away: watching Dean Kamen on Leno
08:23:20vogon_jeltzis back (gone 00:04:49)
08:25:25captain_protonwb
08:25:31vogon_jeltzheh
08:25:31vogon_jeltzhi
08:25:40vogon_jeltzthose segway things are cool
08:26:05captain_protonyeah...
08:26:35vogon_jeltzwatched their inventor, a semi-drunk Australian (?) guy (Russell Crowe), and a 50-something talkshow host zip around on them for a few minutes
08:27:31captain_protonme too
08:27:41vogon_jeltzheh
08:27:50captain_protonabout an hour ago
08:27:51vogon_jeltzdo you watch Conan O'Brien?
08:27:59captain_protonwait - 2
08:28:01captain_protonno
08:28:04vogon_jeltz:/
08:28:53vogon_jeltzgoes to check if there's anyone playing TAC2, and if so, play it
08:29:37vogon_jeltznope
08:29:51vogon_jeltzand it's a shame, as it's a damn good mod
08:30:51vogon_jeltzpoints out that it's the most fun you can have while sending virtual 4-passenger aircraft to their doom
08:31:20captain_protonha
08:31:27vogon_jeltzespecially if you destroy them at an altitude and you get to watch all of the passengers trying to avoid the inexplicably lethal ground
08:32:20captain_protonmeh
08:32:41vogon_jeltzhttp://tac2.tribes-universe.com
08:32:50vogon_jeltzoh, and there are also 6-passenger aircraft :)
08:33:23vogon_jeltzthe kicker is that you're trying to work as a team (the n-1 of you who can actually fire) to shoot down the enemy aircraft before they shoot down yours
08:33:34vogon_jeltzplus, you get to make big explosions ;)
08:33:48captain_protonthe new link rendering is l33t
08:34:12vogon_jeltzdo you have a working beta I can use to finish my world?
08:35:06captain_protonputting in the finishing touches (making links selectable)
08:35:24vogon_jeltzahh
08:37:11captain_protoni'm not sure why they aren't
08:53:50captain_protonooh this is annoying
09:05:04captain_protonomfg
09:05:08captain_protonmy eyes just popped out
09:05:22vogon_jeltzwhy?
09:05:46captain_protoni setup a light and turned on lighting
09:06:09captain_protonstill can't track down this link problem though
09:10:42captain_protonthink i found it!!
09:19:45captain_protonya here?
09:20:36vogon_jeltzyeh
09:23:18captain_protonyour eyes will pop out
09:23:20captain_protontwice
09:23:24captain_proton1) seeing the lighting
09:23:27captain_proton2) seeing the links
09:23:30vogon_jeltzheh
09:23:45vogon_jeltzduct-tapes his eyes into their sockets
09:24:39vogon_jeltzcrap... GTK+ is acting all lame
09:24:59captain_protonhuh?
09:25:51vogon_jeltza) none of the file-ops buttons work
09:26:03vogon_jeltzb) none of their corresponding menu options work, either
09:26:06captain_protonyes they do
09:26:15vogon_jeltznot here
09:26:20captain_protonsure its not just putting windows underneith the others?
09:26:35vogon_jeltzyeh
09:26:42captain_protonbizzare
09:26:52captain_protonrestart X mebbie
09:27:01captain_protonUPTIME WARS!
09:27:10captain_proton  2:27am  up 7 days,  2:59,  6 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.02
09:27:23vogon_jeltz  1:29am  up 3 days,  9:17,  2 users,  load average: 0.09, 0.19, 0.18
09:27:33vogon_jeltzI had to shut down my box to put in my new vidcard
09:27:43captain_protonhaha i know
09:27:56captain_protoni'm gonna need to shut down in the next couple days to move back into the dorms
09:28:50vogon_jeltzmy uptime will 0wn j00rz then
09:29:06vogon_jeltzbrb... restarting X to see if it fixes my GTK+ problems
09:30:14captain_protonand i'll probably reboot more often then because my asm class uses windows...
09:30:17vogon_jeltzheh
09:30:33captain_protonbeen waiting it hit enter for a minute or so...
09:30:43vogon_jeltzlikes the All-Seeing Eye of NVidia splash screen for X
09:30:51captain_protondisabled it
09:31:23vogon_jeltzg00t... much better now
09:33:20vogon_jeltzon the plus side, my Ge2MX400 is now overclocked to 210/250 from 200/250, and I'm not seeing any problems yet :)
09:33:55captain_protonfun
09:34:00captain_protonlike the lighting & links?
09:34:10captain_protonbzedit now officially has a better 3d engine than bzflag
09:34:12vogon_jeltzhaven't looked yet
09:34:37captain_protonerm - thought you said the gtk stuff was fix0red?
09:35:27vogon_jeltzheh
09:35:36vogon_jeltzI was busy watching TV in a half-assed manner
09:35:46captain_protonahh
09:36:20vogon_jeltzit's pretty l33t, I must say
09:49:50vogon_jeltzf0rk... we never fixed that "pyramids with z>0 render upside-down" bug
09:50:06captain_protonyes
09:50:09captain_protonits been fixed
09:50:17vogon_jeltznot as of 1.7e4
09:50:24captain_protonuhm...yes it has
09:50:50vogon_jeltzthen there's a bug in BZEdit
09:50:56captain_protonhuh?
09:51:09vogon_jeltzpyramid
09:51:09vogon_jeltzposition 357.58 -357.58 123
09:51:10vogon_jeltzrotation 45
09:51:10vogon_jeltzsize 15 15 20
09:51:10vogon_jeltzend
09:51:19vogon_jeltztake, for example, that pyramid: it renders upside-down
09:51:28captain_protonit does?!?!
09:51:32captain_protonin bzedit?
09:51:37captain_protonor in bzflag?
09:51:40vogon_jeltzin bzflag
09:51:46captain_protonoh hrm
09:53:54vogon_jeltzoh, n/m
09:54:02vogon_jeltzrunning an old version :P
09:54:06captain_protonhahaha
09:54:18vogon_jeltztries out his l33t new FSAA-fu on BZFlag
09:54:27captain_protonFSAA?
09:54:28captain_protonohh
09:54:47captain_protoncare to remind me of the environment vars needed to set that up?
09:56:04vogon_jeltzexport __GL_FSAA_MODE=f00
09:56:12vogon_jeltzchecks the values
09:56:45vogon_jeltz1 = 2x2 oversampling with LOD bias
09:56:50vogon_jeltz2 = 2x2 Quincunx
09:56:57vogon_jeltz4 = 4x4 Bilinear
09:57:02vogon_jeltz5 = 4x4 Gaussian
09:57:20vogon_jeltz(on your Ge3)
09:57:22captain_protonholy shiat bzedit looks like with AA
09:58:27captain_protonand bzedit actually has the engine to make FSAA have a reasonable framerate
09:59:22vogon_jeltzhehe
09:59:44captain_protonmwahahaha
10:01:19vogon_jeltztries out Tribes2 with FSAA
10:01:28vogon_jeltzit's gonna be slow as hell, but it'll look great ;)
10:02:47captain_protonlol
10:05:38vogon_jeltzheh
10:05:47vogon_jeltz8fps, but it's one of the nicest-looking games out there
10:06:04vogon_jeltz(at 800x600x32, 2x2 oversampling FSAA)
10:06:59vogon_jeltzhmm... does texture compression improve or decrease framerate?
10:09:07captain_protonimprove
10:09:16vogon_jeltzhmm
10:09:32captain_protonlikes quincunx :)
10:09:48vogon_jeltzheh
10:09:56vogon_jeltzsupersampling is so damn slow
10:10:47vogon_jeltztry 4x4 gaussian
10:11:20captain_protonthats what i'm on right now
10:11:25captain_protonbut for games nothing beats quincunx
10:11:34vogon_jeltzwhat does gaussian look like?
10:11:47captain_protongorgeus
10:11:54vogon_jeltzscreenie me
10:11:56captain_proton*geous
10:14:03captain_protongoing to accept?
10:16:15captain_proton'lo?
10:17:42vogon_jeltzsorry... testing out RtCW on my new vidcard
10:18:27vogon_jeltzsend again
10:20:14vogon_jeltzwonders how purty it is
10:22:48vogon_jeltzI've heard that, as pretty as nVidia quincunx FSAA is, ATI's "SmoothVISION" is better
10:23:25captain_protonthats because "SmoothVISION" is newer
10:23:26captain_protonsoon as nvidia comes out with a new chip theirs will be on top again
10:23:37captain_protonits called "competition"
10:23:53vogon_jeltzhehe
10:24:29vogon_jeltzpatiently awaits the "SmootherVISION" (or whatever) tech the Ge4 has to offer
10:24:30captain_protonisn't that screenie perty?
10:24:43vogon_jeltzyup
10:25:53captain_proton:)
10:26:39vogon_jeltzmmm... adaptive supersampling
10:27:20vogon_jeltzmmmmmm... adaptive supersampling in hardware
10:27:29captain_protonlol
10:28:35vogon_jeltzassumes that cappy knows what adaptive supersampling is
10:29:09captain_protonyes
10:29:10captain_protoni wrote an app to frickin' do it a few years ago
10:29:15vogon_jeltzheh
10:30:05captain_protoni need to get to sleep
10:30:06captain_proton'night
10:30:12vogon_jeltznn
14:42:11vogon_jeltzis away: None of your business () :-)
14:42:17vogon_jeltzis back (gone 00:00:02)
14:42:27vogon_jeltzis away: reading
18:09:05Valochehi there, I'm back!
19:55:26xegsysevening
21:01:01captain_protonwanders back in
21:01:24captain_protonw00! xchat 1.4.1 can be hijacked :)
21:01:56captain_protonwonders who zen_parse on bugtraq is...
21:02:11captain_protonin the few weeks i've been subscribed they've found 4 vulnerabilities
