| 00:01.03 | darth_mall | ok, yeah |
| 00:01.20 | darth_mall | yay! it makes a horrible noise now =\ |
| 00:01.36 | Cae | LOL |
| 00:01.41 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 00:01.45 | Cae | well. what kind of horrible noise? |
| 00:01.46 | merlin{Yokohama} | damn it, my mom left a window open in my room, and it rained, and flooded all my computer equipment. :( |
| 00:01.49 | darth_mall | what an awful day |
| 00:01.57 | darth_mall | merlin{Yokohama}: =( |
| 00:02.05 | Cae | merlin{Yokohama}: that really sucks.. |
| 00:02.31 | darth_mall | Cae / lurgyman : you'd have to hear it |
| 00:03.17 | Cae | heh |
| 00:03.49 | Cae | well, closer to hard drive or closer to fan? |
| 00:04.19 | Cae | 1024 and 1024^2? |
| 00:04.26 | Cae | or whatever |
| 00:04.45 | darth_mall | arg! |
| 00:04.52 | Cae | ? |
| 00:05.08 | darth_mall | the code that *should* work doesn't |
| 00:05.16 | Cae | :\ |
| 00:05.17 | darth_mall | the hacked up version makes an awful noise |
| 00:05.35 | darth_mall | but at least it makes a noise |
| 00:07.14 | lurgyman | does the objective for this involve making noise? |
| 00:07.24 | darth_mall | it involves recording 20 seconds of music |
| 00:07.35 | Cae | well, so there's some noise involved, right? |
| 00:07.39 | darth_mall | and I'm positive that the version I wrote w/ the struct would do that |
| 00:07.50 | darth_mall | but it won't run on the board |
| 00:07.58 | Cae | hmm |
| 00:08.11 | darth_mall | and I think the reason it won't run is the struct |
| 00:08.37 | darth_mall | which doesn't make sense, because it compiles |
| 00:09.34 | darth_mall | well, it's closer |
| 00:11.58 | darth_mall | arg this is aggravating |
| 00:22.22 | darth_mall | getting closer |
| 00:24.42 | carpman | merlin{Yokohama}: that sux0r |
| 00:31.34 | darth_mall | I'm damned if I know what is wrong with this thing |
| 00:32.30 | Cae | ditto |
| 00:32.32 | darth_mall | it wouldn't be a problem |
| 00:32.43 | lurgyman | hmm, C issue? |
| 00:32.49 | darth_mall | except that all 3 times I came in here to debug there was aline for the computesr |
| 00:32.55 | darth_mall | lurgyman: no, I finally fixed that one |
| 00:32.57 | Cae | :\ |
| 00:33.01 | lurgyman | ah |
| 00:33.33 | darth_mall | that was a silly mistake on my part |
| 00:33.46 | darth_mall | trying to push something way to large onto the stack |
| 00:34.10 | darth_mall | but now that I've fixed that I've lost all semblance of sound |
| 00:34.31 | lurgyman | ah |
| 00:34.33 | lurgyman | :( |
| 00:34.58 | merlin{Yokohama} | carpman: I may have found someone interested in helping w/ nxpackage! |
| 00:34.59 | darth_mall | I am very frustrated, because I know I could do this |
| 00:35.05 | darth_mall | if I'd had more time to debug |
| 00:35.08 | carpman | merlin{Yokohama}: cool! |
| 00:38.11 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 00:38.17 | Cae | heh |
| 00:38.31 | darth_mall | or else distracted by pyGTK |
| 00:40.00 | darth_mall | well, now I have a theory as to what is killing this |
| 00:40.17 | Cae | theories are good |
| 00:40.27 | darth_mall | yeah, but I'm not sure I have the time to fix it |
| 00:40.35 | carpman | psychotic mutant cheese drones? |
| 00:41.02 | darth_mall | carpman: no, but that's what I'll tell Drew when he asks why it doesn't work >=) |
| 00:41.26 | Cae | gremlins! |
| 00:41.39 | carpman | Cae: I believe thats what I said :) |

| 00:43.47 | darth_mall | shall we finish it tonight when I return from Capoeira |

| 00:44.05 | darth_mall | oh, yeah |
| 00:44.14 | darth_mall | I should probably do my physics |
| 00:46.37 | scanline | arrgh |
| 00:46.41 | scanline | damn this ineffective alarm clock |
| 00:46.51 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 00:46.56 | carpman | scanline: you need an alarm cannon |
| 00:47.07 | darth_mall | scanline: you know, if you want to be up you could have me or captain_proton make sure you're up |
| 00:47.15 | Cae | scanline: multiple alarm clocks with different, discordant notes |
| 00:47.21 | scanline | hmm |
| 00:47.33 | carpman | alarm car horn? |
| 00:47.40 | darth_mall | oh no! |
| 00:47.45 | darth_mall | not.... the meeting! |
| 00:47.49 | scanline | :) |
| 00:47.51 | darth_mall | or is it a different monday meeting |
| 00:47.53 | captain_proton | mornin' scanline |
| 00:47.57 | scanline | yeah, I'm most worried about linear algeber |
| 00:48.36 | darth_mall | you can use that to wake you up |
| 00:48.55 | scanline | wow, lalo's actually working on nifty |
| 00:48.57 | lurgyman | scanline: 2 car alarm horns set a tritone apart |
| 00:48.58 | darth_mall | build a mindstorm device to smack you in the head with it when the alarm goes off ^^ |
| 00:49.08 | *** join/#tacobeam lalo (~lalo@200.102.125.226) |
| 00:49.10 | lurgyman | that would wake anybody up. period. |
| 00:49.13 | scanline | hi lalo :) |
| 00:49.14 | darth_mall | hola lalo |
| 00:49.22 | carpman | holy crap, it's lalo!! |
| 00:49.54 | lurgyman | scanline: and you could build it yourself using a circuit with 2 speakers on it, and hook it up to your compooter via USB :) |
| 00:50.03 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 00:50.06 | lurgyman | it would be like the 2nd simplest circuit ever |
| 00:50.15 | lurgyman | except for maybe the usb bits |
| 00:50.25 | darth_mall | from the guys who brought you beeeeeeer milkshakes... |
| 00:50.25 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 00:50.39 | lurgyman | hehehe |
| 00:51.06 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 00:51.12 | lurgyman | carpman: almost certainly Dave Lister invented beer milkshakes |
| 00:51.14 | lurgyman | in the 80's |
| 00:51.16 | darth_mall | didn't feel like doing physics |
| 00:51.26 | carpman | it's cold out side, there's not alot of atmosphere... |

| 00:54.18 | lalo | darth_mall: it is... the translation is completely randomic |
| 00:54.20 | captain_proton | lurgyman: isn't 'rite' a more proper translation? |

| 00:59.59 | scanline | lalo: well, that's pretty much what you get with the rsync server :) |
| 01:00.10 | scanline | but rsync is resumable |

| 01:08.26 | lalo | pineapple sounds Monty Pythonish |

| 01:08.50 | lalo | "this is my fruit. It's like an apple, except it's more like a pine, and actually it's not at all like an apple." |

| 01:57.37 | captain_proton | ....verbal information? |
| 01:57.50 | scanline | apply the verbal extraction hose |
| 01:58.00 | captain_proton | thats just a collection of photographs from the video at comdex |

| 02:02.13 | scanline | http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/examples/server.c |
| 02:02.30 | scanline | simple, and the way they parse arguments is quite pythonic :) |
| 02:06.44 | scanline | but, xml-rpc is of course extreme overkill for this |
| 02:07.22 | darth_mall | so, about that trip to safeway... |
| 02:07.31 | scanline | if I was going to use XML-RPC, I'd have the monitoring servers in python too, such that you could easily load modules into the server for monitoring CPU load, network I/O, email... |

| 03:16.43 | scanline | is it a zombie process? |
| 03:16.56 | gonkulator | no.. I don't think so |

| 03:17.52 | darth_mall | so the question now becomes: was anyone serious about prisoner/red dwarf? |
| 03:18.10 | gonkulator | scanline: yeah, I think its waiting on I/O |
| 03:18.24 | gonkulator | how do I make it stop :) |
| 03:18.51 | scanline | reboot |
| 03:18.59 | scanline | it's probably a bug in the kernel or a kernel module |
| 03:19.30 | gonkulator | and it hung :( |
| 03:19.45 | gonkulator | that means both my optical drives are now requiring a reboot... |
| 03:19.49 | scanline | why bs=1? |

| 17:09.41 | gonk-work | carpman: I'm sure you can find stuff on the internet about it :) |
| 17:09.41 | carpman | gtk source can be dangerous, in the same way looking at cthulu's face is dangerous |
| 17:09.43 | scanline | actually, I rather like most of it |
| 17:09.54 | scanline | could use a lot more comments, and there are some scary-huge files |
| 17:10.00 | scanline | but for the most part it's quite sensible |
| 17:10.08 | gonk-work | scary-huge? |
| 17:10.17 | carpman | I suppose I'm jaded because I always want to make it threaded :) |
| 17:10.24 | gonk-work | how big are we talking here :) |
| 17:10.28 | scanline | carpman: gtk supports threading |
| 17:10.33 | carpman | oh, really? |
| 17:10.43 | captain_proton | scanline: as scary-huge as bzfs.cxx used to be? :) |
| 17:10.43 | scanline | gonk-work: well, gtktreeview.c is around 11000 lines |
| 17:10.52 | carpman | like real threading, or "talk to the wrapper process" threading? |
| 17:10.55 | scanline | captain_proton: even more so :) |
| 17:11.18 | scanline | carpman: dunno how it works, but it seems to. only used it a little though |
| 17:11.27 | scanline | carpman: why would you want a multithreaded GUI though? |
| 17:11.44 | scanline | carpman: it all ends up using the same locks to draw to the hardware |
| 17:11.45 | carpman | scanline: it's an AoF thing :) |
| 17:12.13 | carpman | it would make it alot easier to write a UI object if I could make calls to the UI from different threads |
| 17:12.20 | scanline | really, what advantage could multithreaded graphics possibly have with current hardware and video drivers? |
| 17:12.30 | scanline | it's not like you can be drawing two rectangles on the screen at once |
| 17:12.40 | scanline | and X is already async most of the time |
| 17:12.42 | carpman | scanline: I'm not saying there would be a performace increase, I'm talking about a convienience thing |
| 17:13.20 | scanline | then why does it matter if it's 'real' or if it all gets funneled into one process? |
| 17:13.37 | carpman | scanline: if I don't have to write the one process, nothing :) |
| 17:13.42 | scanline | hehe |
| 17:13.59 | carpman | but usually, they dump that task on the end developer |
| 17:15.15 | scanline | well, i do know gtk supports threading, because I've used it |
| 17:15.15 | scanline | I just haven't pushed it hard at all |
| 17:15.33 | merlin{Yokohama} | gtk doesn't _really_ support threading |
| 17:15.49 | sbahra | carpman: You can hold of screen redraws for more "real-time" results (akin OpenGL push and pop, ncurses refresh, etc...) |
| 17:16.11 | carpman | sbahra: this is true |
| 17:20.56 | scanline | looks like the threading support is all part of gdk rather than gtk |
| 17:27.48 | captain_proton | (bwahaha) |
| 17:27.55 | captain_proton | hmmdeedoo |
| 17:28.21 | darth_mall | hehe |

| 17:29.34 | gonk-work | argh... |
| 17:29.34 | scanline | hmm, the gtktreeview is really quick to decide its whole contents are worth redrawing |
| 17:29.45 | scanline | it redraws the whole thing just to focus one item |
| 17:29.52 | carpman | scanline: ick |
| 17:29.55 | captain_proton | scanline: mmmk |
| 17:30.21 | captain_proton | gonk-work: ....translator? |
| 17:30.34 | gonk-work | captain_proton: yeah, I speak spanish for an insurance company |
| 17:31.01 | sbahra | scanline: Yeah. GTK is very expensive with its redraws :) |
| 17:31.25 | sbahra | scanline: I had to learn this with tunneling an X11 GTK app over a 10mbps network |
| 17:31.57 | carpman | gonk-work: 1.21 jigadollars!!! |
| 17:32.11 | gonk-work | carpman: if I get that much, I'll give you the .21 jiggadollars |
| 17:32.15 | carpman | yay! |
| 17:32.27 | gonk-work | as an investment in your software company :) |
| 17:32.55 | scanline | sbahra: fun |
| 17:33.09 | gonk-work | or something interweb related :) |
| 17:33.14 | gonk-work | :P |
| 17:33.15 | captain_proton | ugh, i need to almost double the length of this essay |
| 17:33.20 | carpman | mAVSKLDGJ:SKDFJgaedf |
| 17:33.29 | gonk-work | captain_proton: use "um" more |
| 17:33.59 | carpman | or "and, uhh" |
| 17:34.12 | captain_proton | heh |
| 17:34.18 | gonk-work | thats how I double the length of my philosophy papers :) |
| 17:38.40 | scanline | hmm, don't see this in bugzilla |
| 17:39.29 | sbahra | captain_proton: For what class? |
| 17:39.43 | captain_proton | sbahra: this writing-for-engineers course |
| 17:39.53 | captain_proton | scanline: its not a bug, its a feature! |
| 17:40.00 | sbahra | captain_proton: Tech-related then... |
| 17:40.08 | captain_proton | sort of tech-related |
| 17:40.08 | sbahra | captain_proton: http://www.dack.com/web/bullshit.html |
| 17:40.28 | scanline | haha, just got back a response from my boss about me running out of hours |
| 17:40.33 | scanline | "Continue to work until I say don't which won't be anytime soon:)" |
| 17:40.43 | gonk-work | yay for new apple hardware |
| 17:40.51 | captain_proton | plural of "ton" is "tonnes", right? |
| 17:41.19 | gonk-work | holy crap... 20" iMac |
| 17:42.27 | darth_mall | captain_proton: that's one way to spell it |
| 17:42.30 | darth_mall | or tons |
| 17:42.55 | gonk-work | gee whiz... a dual 1.8 gHz G5... |
| 17:43.10 | sbahra | I thought "tons" was the casual term for "a lot" darth_mall |
| 17:44.27 | sbahra | Nope. "Tonnes" is just the English spelling. |
| 17:44.34 | sbahra | s/English/British/ |
| 17:44.39 | darth_mall | right |
| 17:44.40 | sbahra | captain_proton: They look pretty. |
| 17:44.43 | captain_proton | "its like the other things we make, but with a bigger screen! innovation!" |
| 17:44.50 | darth_mall | I think technically, sbahra, you are correct |
| 17:45.02 | darth_mall | 'tons' means "a lot", 'tonnes' is the plural |
| 17:45.17 | darth_mall | however, it appears that ton and tonne mean the same in this country |
| 17:45.27 | sbahra | darth_mall: Ah. Guess I am. This means this website sucks (beer website, "16 tons of beer") |
| 17:45.31 | darth_mall | so I think tons and tonnes would also be interchangeable |
| 17:45.59 | sbahra | "Tonnes" is an SI unit. "Tons" is not much. |
| 17:46.07 | sbahra | This car weights "2 lots" |
| 17:46.16 | darth_mall | oh wait |
| 17:46.22 | captain_proton | neither ispell nor webster knows :) |
| 17:46.35 | darth_mall | captain_proton: you mean a metric ton, yes? |
| 17:47.21 | darth_mall | metric ton = tonne; metric tons = tonnes |
| 17:47.35 | darth_mall | non-metric ton = ton; non-metric tons = tons |
| 17:47.37 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 17:47.43 | sbahra | Tonne Tonne, n. F. |
| 17:47.43 | sbahra | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:47.43 | sbahra | Yup |
| 17:48.00 | sbahra | wow. I have been mis-spelling a lot of papers :) |
| 17:48.11 | gonk-work | captain_proton: why are you talking about tons anyway? |
| 17:48.17 | sbahra | Well, the singular form of ton. |
| 17:48.33 | darth_mall | sbahra: I have a feeling that it's a subtle difference that most people would miss anyway ^^ |
| 17:48.42 | captain_proton | darth_mall: yes |
| 17:49.06 | captain_proton | gonk-work: talking about the weights of monoliths |
| 17:49.11 | gonk-work | oh, ok |
| 17:49.40 | carpman | 1x4x9 |
| 17:49.40 | gonk-work | captain_proton: double it and add thirty :) |
| 17:49.50 | gonk-work | carpman: 36? |
| 17:49.52 | captain_proton | ....? |
| 17:49.57 | carpman | gonk-work: yes |
| 17:50.51 | captain_proton | heh, neat |
| 17:50.59 | captain_proton | google knows the difference between tons and tonnes =) |
| 17:51.50 | carpman | duh, it knows about meterhertz :) |
| 17:52.25 | sbahra | hehe carpman |
| 17:53.16 | carpman | I want to get a new face plate for my car's gauges. I want the gas symbol to be replaced by a carrot, and my speed unit to be m/Hz |
| 17:57.16 | darth_mall | carpman: m/Hz ? ^^ |
| 17:57.24 | carpman | darth_mall: indeed |
| 17:57.32 | darth_mall | you mean meter Hz? |
| 17:57.32 | captain_proton | not m/Hz, m*Hz |
| 17:57.42 | carpman | oh, right |
| 17:57.49 | captain_proton | m/Hz doesn't really have a physical meaning |
| 17:57.50 | darth_mall | cuz actually... m/Hz would be neat ^^ |
| 17:57.54 | gonk-work | carpman: when do you think strongbad will get a new computer? |
| 17:58.03 | captain_proton | at least not on its own |
| 17:58.22 | carpman | gonk-work: I dunno :) |
| 17:59.24 | captain_proton | btw |
| 17:59.32 | captain_proton | lurgyman / scanline / darth_mall: you guys should pay me now |
| 17:59.47 | darth_mall | captain_proton: electric bill comed? |
| 18:00.02 | captain_proton | darth_mall: mmmyep |
| 18:02.59 | darth_mall | I just had a brilliant idea! |
| 18:03.10 | captain_proton | darth_mall: i think i just had the same idea |
| 18:03.32 | darth_mall | if we get a gerbel farm, and make them run on wheels to power the computers our electric bill would be far lower |
| 18:04.04 | gonk-work | darth_mall: what about gerbel food? |
| 18:04.50 | darth_mall | what about it |
| 18:05.52 | gonk-work | doesn't that cost money? |
| 18:06.42 | darth_mall | yes, but not necessarily as much as the electricity to run the computers |
| 18:06.51 | darth_mall | I imagine we could buy in bulk and get it fairly cheap |
| 18:06.59 | gonk-work | hmm... |
| 18:07.22 | gonk-work | lol SKYCHEAT traffic |
| 18:11.29 | gonk-work | ok, its time for me to pack up and go to class |
| 18:11.35 | gonk-detached | later all |
| 18:15.44 | captain_proton | yay for espresso |
| 18:18.59 | captain_proton | ugh |
| 18:19.06 | captain_proton | the quality on these movies leaves something to be desired |
| 18:19.37 | captain_proton | will need to watch the bttfs to see if any of those need reencoding |
| 18:20.35 | lurgyman | captain_proton: gots you a quarter? |
| 18:20.40 | lurgyman | darth_mall too :) |
| 18:21.08 | captain_proton | lurgyman: probably |
| 18:22.30 | carpman | yay for sending elementry school kids to fight aliens |
| 18:23.53 | captain_proton | just give me back a quarter when you get one :) |
| 18:27.47 | scanline | hrm, my little remote monitor-widget seems to have stability issues |
| 18:28.16 | scanline | still kinda cute :) |
| 18:31.42 | captain_proton | heh |
| 18:31.48 | captain_proton | benford's style in this book is so neat |
| 18:32.00 | captain_proton | I walked around the slab and saw another plaque, its raised lettering rusted and nearly unreadable.We could barely make out some technical detail: kilotons, warhead type, purpose, amount of residual radioactivity. At the very bottom, THIS SITE WILL REMAIN DANGEROUS FOR 24,000 YEARS. |
| 18:32.09 | darth_mall | when is lurgyman's concert this evening? |
| 18:32.18 | captain_proton | darth_mall: 7:30 |
| 18:33.00 | darth_mall | so where is it and I'll meet you there |
| 18:33.57 | carpman | captain_proton: alien nine is visually great, but it's story is a bit cardboard :) |
| 18:34.38 | carpman | I should probably wait til the end of the first ep, but eh |
| 18:34.49 | darth_mall | s/nw/now/ |
| 18:35.43 | darth_mall | erm... |
| 18:35.46 | carpman | and why the hell can't the militarty stop aliens from attacking elemenaty schools? |
| 18:35.46 | darth_mall | hmmm |
| 18:36.39 | darth_mall | because then there'd be no story |
| 18:37.01 | carpman | you see, if they have to resort to that, the story sucks |
| 18:37.16 | captain_proton | carpman: its certainly bizzare |
| 18:37.45 | darth_mall | usually if you give too much thought to a lot of shows they would be dumb |
| 18:38.01 | captain_proton | carpman: its not really a coherent story, due to the length |
| 18:38.10 | carpman | how many eps? |
| 18:38.14 | captain_proton | 4 |
| 18:38.18 | carpman | oh |
| 18:38.26 | captain_proton | its just sort of a neat comedy/tragedy thing |
| 18:42.27 | scanline | hmm |
| 18:42.41 | scanline | now to play with my linker scripts to make a contiguous region of memory just barely big enough for this packet |
| 18:46.04 | captain_proton | yay |
| 18:46.09 | captain_proton | joann approved the new ibook |
| 18:46.34 | scanline | erg |
| 18:46.57 | captain_proton | hehe |
| 18:47.02 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 18:47.13 | scanline | it all looks the same... mostly because it in large part is the same |
| 18:47.28 | captain_proton | whee |
| 18:47.39 | captain_proton | we should have a shiny new 1G 14" ibook in a few days |
| 18:47.40 | captain_proton | =D |
| 18:47.45 | scanline | yum |
| 18:47.54 | captain_proton | about as loaded as ibooks get |
| 18:48.11 | lurgyman | here? |
| 18:48.50 | scanline | hmm.. this win2k seems to be in dire need of a reboot |
| 18:49.06 | darth_mall | I wish aliens regularly attacked CU |
| 18:49.36 | captain_proton | darth_mall: well - some of them don't attack |
| 18:49.40 | captain_proton | they just sort of randomly show up |
| 18:49.45 | captain_proton | (great show =) |
| 18:50.06 | darth_mall | right |
| 18:50.14 | darth_mall | which would be cool too |
| 18:51.37 | scanline | these albums that just flow together nicely always seem too short |
| 18:51.50 | captain_proton | it gets even weirder later on |
| 18:51.56 | captain_proton | but i won't say why until you see it :) |
| 18:53.43 | scanline | captain_proton: this little networked monitor applet is really gross... ssh'es into the remote machines with a bash oneliner to collect data periodically and stream it over stdout |
| 18:54.01 | captain_proton | hah |
| 18:54.16 | captain_proton | ooh, i know what you need to do |
| 18:54.22 | captain_proton | compile stats -inside the kernel- |
| 18:54.26 | captain_proton | and make the kernel speak xml-rpc |
| 18:54.38 | scanline | oh, that'd be great |
| 18:54.43 | captain_proton | that would be almost as gross as the kernelspace ORB :) |
| 18:55.05 | scanline | then we could make /proc use XML |
| 18:55.10 | captain_proton | though the ORB dealy has some neat possibilities |
| 18:55.20 | captain_proton | like writing device drivers in perl, and running them across the network :) |
| 18:55.28 | scanline | mmyep |
| 18:55.50 | captain_proton | at least thats the example that the guy who ported orbit to the kernel gave |
| 18:56.00 | darth_mall | dammit! I wanna be an alien hunter person like in the show |
| 18:56.12 | captain_proton | darth_mall: i wouldn't say that until you see the end |
| 18:58.56 | darth_mall | but... kasumi has so much fun |
| 18:59.55 | captain_proton | uhhuh |
| 19:00.22 | scanline | yay, my maximum packet size is now an amazing 13 bytes larger |
| 19:06.26 | carpman | amazine! |
| 19:06.32 | carpman | astoundin! |
| 19:07.14 | scanline | carpman: well, in this case it's the difference between the packet fitting and not fitting |
| 19:07.26 | carpman | scanline: :) |
| 19:11.08 | captain_proton | ooh |
| 19:11.23 | captain_proton | yay for cnn not knowing whether something is a megabit or a megabyte, so they call it a megabite |
| 19:11.40 | carpman | haha |
| 19:12.05 | captain_proton | hmm, neat |
| 19:12.19 | captain_proton | apparently there was an input device at comdex for fighting games |
| 19:12.23 | captain_proton | that uses physical sensors :) |
| 19:12.27 | carpman | ooo! |
| 19:12.40 | captain_proton | that'd be fun |
| 19:13.01 | captain_proton | but you'd want a head-mounted active-stereo display for that |
| 19:13.08 | carpman | of course |
| 19:13.14 | captain_proton | and...FORCE FEEDBACK! |
| 19:13.22 | lurgyman | mmm |
| 19:13.27 | lurgyman | force feedback monitors |
| 19:13.45 | lurgyman | or force feedback mouse cables |

| 19:14.08 | carpman | force feedback trackpads! |
| 19:14.18 | captain_proton | wow |
| 19:14.19 | darth_mall | oh no! she's killed Cae! |
| 19:14.29 | Cae | :P |
| 19:14.31 | captain_proton | scanline: have you acclimiated yourself to actually getting stuff done with TW playing? |
| 19:14.48 | scanline | captain_proton: yep |
| 19:14.51 | Cae | yes, I am the EVIL Cae! mwahahaha! |
| 19:14.52 | carpman | TW? |
| 19:15.00 | captain_proton | carpman: trespassers william |
| 19:15.04 | carpman | ahh |
| 19:16.34 | captain_proton | whee |
| 19:16.47 | captain_proton | yay for the airman's memorial in toronto being known locally as "gumby goes to heaven" |
| 19:18.13 | Cae | heh |
| 19:19.07 | darth_mall | now here's a really strange statement: "the end of a solenoid can be thought of as an infinite solenoid with one half cut away." |
| 19:19.42 | scanline | typical of physics :) |
| 19:20.12 | Cae | very informative |
| 19:20.18 | darth_mall | it's just such a funny thing to say |
| 19:20.37 | Cae | hmm |
| 19:20.40 | darth_mall | and I'd guess is actually a very incorrect of explaining the phenomenon it is supposed to |
| 19:20.47 | Cae | freenode is giving me weird errors about not being connected |
| 19:20.57 | scanline | gah, this comm test has way too many test cases |
| 19:21.00 | Cae | but apparently, I can still see what you're sending me |
| 19:21.03 | scanline | at least they're all automatically generated |
| 19:21.06 | Cae | so.. |
| 19:22.04 | Cae | silly freenode |
| 19:22.42 | scanline | hmmm |
| 19:22.53 | scanline | can't reproduce the bug I was seeing on this last week |
| 19:26.57 | darth_mall | man, I wonder who wrote this lab |

| 19:35.22 | captain_proton | this stack of xpdfs looks so cute with this sawfish theme |
| 19:35.32 | Cae | I have now absorbed the combined evilness of myself, twice over |
| 19:42.43 | lurgyman | oh? :) |
| 19:43.16 | darth_mall | hmmm... what to listen to now |
| 19:43.45 | darth_mall | hehe, Cae is like Jet Li in _The One_ |
| 19:44.10 | Cae | yep |
| 19:44.25 | darth_mall | but I still don't know what to listen to now |
| 19:44.30 | darth_mall | hmm... maybe Big Sky... |
| 19:44.51 | Cae | hm. to go back and nap... |
| 19:45.05 | Cae | or find caffeine and go enjoy Teague's wireless |
| 19:45.18 | Cae | or any other place's wireless |
| 19:45.24 | darth_mall | mmm... wireless |
| 19:45.26 | Cae | ooh, the liberry |
| 19:46.09 | Cae | and their coffee/tea/whatever shop has wireless |
| 19:46.13 | Cae | and decent tea |
| 19:47.11 | Cae | hehe |
| 19:47.26 | Cae | bleh. I don't want to do more code in here. |
| 19:47.48 | Cae | my group leader had the poor taste to become unsick, so I have to acknowledge his existence again. |
| 19:48.07 | darth_mall | lol |
| 19:48.14 | darth_mall | Cae: what are you doing? I forgets |
| 19:48.22 | Cae | java game |
| 19:48.48 | Cae | if you want to see his code (which is part of why I dislike him): http://caelumpacis.resnet.tamu.edu/Galaga/ |
| 19:49.40 | scanline | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:49.41 | scanline | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:49.48 | scanline | could use some grammatical polishing as well |
| 19:49.55 | Cae | yes |
| 19:52.42 | darth_mall | is that "Enemy's"? |
| 19:52.52 | darth_mall | or am I misreading it |
| 19:53.02 | Cae | I believe so |
| 19:53.17 | Cae | I've given up trying to figure out why he writes stuff the way he does |
| 19:55.37 | lurgyman | i suppose it's a good thing he specified that it was going to be the 2 *following* lines |
| 19:55.38 | lurgyman | as otherwise |
| 19:55.47 | lurgyman | we might think they were halfway down the page somewhere |
| 19:55.53 | Cae | well, lab's over, so my TA's going to want to leave (after she kicks out the rest of the lab in about 10 minutes) |
| 19:55.56 | Cae | LOL |
| 19:56.14 | Cae | given the way he writes code... *shrug* :) |
| 19:56.36 | Cae | anyway, I'll be back later. off to the liberry with me. |
| 19:57.24 | lurgyman | yipes, laundry cycling time |
| 19:57.44 | lurgyman | scanline: the washer should be open shortly, if you haven't already done something aboot it |
| 19:58.47 | scanline | ah |
| 19:59.02 | scanline | well.. I have a class at 2:00, so I should wait until after that |

| 21:40.54 | ChipX86 | thanks |
| 21:41.22 | ChipX86 | some new family moved in down the street. They have a chihuahua. It tried its hardest to bite me, and nearly did. |
| 21:41.33 | Cae | LOL |
| 21:41.47 | ChipX86 | no leash, no collar |
| 21:42.00 | ChipX86 | I may have to have a talk with them if the dog is out tomorrow |
| 21:42.34 | ChipX86 | I dislike dogs that try to bite my legs |
| 21:42.40 | Cae | that too |
| 21:44.48 | darth_mall | just the owners ^^ |
| 21:45.15 | ChipX86 | I don't like these new people. They think it's okay to take up both sidewalks and the street to play football, and not let cars through |
| 21:45.50 | file | ChipX86: locate tranquilizer dart gun, locate target, target the target, fire! |
| 21:45.52 | darth_mall | ChipX86: you should run them over ^^ |
| 21:46.01 | ChipX86 | I like both suggestions |
| 21:46.07 | darth_mall | or just bite them |
| 21:46.11 | ChipX86 | :) |

| 22:23.25 | gonk-class | darth_mall: I like him just as much as you :) |
| 22:23.32 | gonk-class | darth_mall: and I put all his stuff on navi :) |
| 22:31.16 | carpman | wheefunyay |
| 22:37.18 | scanline | hah, this is funky |
| 22:37.39 | scanline | my circuits TA apparently still has us all on a mailing list, and she sent some info about a software engineering internship |
| 22:38.16 | scanline | heh, my desk is kinda wobbly without the 'scope |
| 22:39.34 | gonk-class | scanline: get another scoppe :) |
| 22:39.40 | gonk-class | scope even |
| 22:39.51 | scanline | I still have the scope, and it still works |
| 22:40.02 | scanline | I just took it off my desk since I need the space for other things |
| 22:40.22 | scanline | there's a quite aptly sized space in my closet the scope inhabits when it isn't on my desk |
| 22:41.52 | gonk-class | oh, ok |
| 22:42.16 | scanline | see, if my scope died I'd be crying and looking for a replacement on ebay |
| 22:43.16 | gonk-class | so you should get another one now |
| 22:43.22 | gonk-class | in case it dies,you will have a backup |
| 22:43.29 | gonk-class | :P |
| 22:43.46 | gonk-class | thats how it works with me and iBooks :( |
| 22:43.57 | scanline | I know I could get a scope similar to mine on ebay for less than $100 |
| 22:44.29 | scanline | but aside from a few quirks, mine works fine :) |
| 22:44.48 | darth_mall | gonk-class: yeah, you put his stuff on navi, but the directories are funky again ^^ |
