| 00:01.19 | darth_mall | bah to none sloppy focus |
| 00:04.10 | darth_mall | grrr... I wish drew weren't having to monkey with these guys |
| 00:05.45 | kergoth | fuck, i'm not accomplishing a damn thing. fuck this, i'm going home |
| 00:09.01 | darth_mall | welp, since I can't compile anything, I might as well go home |
| 00:15.06 | *** join/#tacobeam file (~file@mctn1-2626.nb.aliant.net) |
| 00:15.10 | file | I forgot I'm not banned here |
| 00:36.25 | darth_mall | lol |
| 00:37.21 | file | so yeah, some kid in my compsci class today crashed the HP printer due to a firmware bug |
| 00:37.30 | file | now it has to be cold reset... and it's parameters completely reloaded lol |
| 00:39.12 | captain_proton | yay i'm home |
| 00:40.37 | darth_mall | ooh! WHR? |
| 00:41.10 | captain_proton | =D |
| 00:41.19 | captain_proton | though the title song on it is the tv edit, which is shorter |
| 00:41.23 | darth_mall | =( |
| 00:41.29 | captain_proton | jeffm said he was going to get the 2nd ost soonish |
| 00:41.34 | captain_proton | which has the full version |
| 00:42.09 | darth_mall | yay |
| 00:42.37 | captain_proton | but its a good soundtrack nonetheless |
| 00:42.51 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 00:42.54 | captain_proton | probably makes for some good programmerin' musick |
| 00:45.41 | darth_mall | quite |
| 00:48.22 | captain_proton | hmm, speaking of which |
| 00:48.31 | captain_proton | that evolution compile i started last night is probably done |
| 00:52.49 | ChipX86 | *sigh* how did I go from being the person that was praised and trusted with the gaim tree to being the person who has someone on my back every time I make so much as a little tiny commit |
| 00:53.06 | captain_proton | so john black came and did a guest lecture in our linear algeber class today |
| 00:53.07 | ChipX86 | I've made 3 commits the past week, and had 3 people bugging me about each one |
| 00:53.08 | captain_proton | on cryptography |
| 00:53.13 | file | ChipX86: did they break anything? |
| 00:53.19 | ChipX86 | no |
| 00:53.29 | file | ChipX86: then tell them to go suck a lemon |
| 00:53.35 | ChipX86 | I'm just going to quit |
| 00:53.38 | captain_proton | and he said that prime factorization was a big field, and if you read slashdot, you'll see something on it every once in a while, with people misunderstanding it and yelling at each other about it |
| 00:53.49 | ChipX86 | haha |
| 00:53.56 | captain_proton | =} |
| 00:55.38 | purple_cow | lurgyman|aether: there were some -serious- dissonances during the halelluiah chorus today =D |
| 00:56.23 | purple_cow | like...parallel m2s |
| 00:56.35 | purple_cow | it was beautiful |
| 00:58.43 | darth_mall | mmm... TMBG makes me so hapopy |
| 00:58.50 | darth_mall | s/hapopy/happy/ |
| 01:00.12 | purple_cow | that's lovely |
| 01:00.44 | purple_cow | grr |
| 01:00.51 | purple_cow | why is make install -compiling- all sorts of stuff |
| 01:01.31 | purple_cow | hrm, and i just realized i ought to update my sources due to the new cached backend |
| 01:01.34 | purple_cow | BLAH |
| 01:02.15 | purple_cow | i need a compile farm |
| 01:02.34 | ChipX86 | don't we all |
| 01:02.35 | carpman | hehe |
| 01:03.15 | purple_cow | i can update overnight |
| 01:03.27 | purple_cow | the issue is trying to work on this code |
| 01:03.39 | carpman | the last update I did, it ate glibc and libssl |
| 01:04.25 | darth_mall | 'ate'? |
| 01:04.33 | carpman | yeah. they were gone |
| 01:04.45 | darth_mall | do you use the ~x86 flag? |
| 01:04.54 | carpman | I /did/ |
| 01:04.57 | darth_mall | cuz I had something similar happen once |
| 01:05.07 | darth_mall | I had to recompile w/o that enabled and everything was fine |
| 01:05.32 | darth_mall | I also had some trouble with distcc and libraries |
| 01:05.43 | carpman | distcc was off |
| 01:06.02 | darth_mall | well, there is a reason why that is the unstable branch ^^ |
| 01:06.41 | carpman | oh come on, even in unstable, you should have the right to a working glibc :) |
| 01:08.14 | darth_mall | sometimes there's problems in the ebuids |
| 01:08.20 | darth_mall | s/ebuids/ebuilds/ |
| 01:09.40 | darth_mall | captain_proton: interested in a trip to the store later? |
| 01:10.49 | purple_cow | darth_mall: hmm, perhaps |
| 01:11.19 | purple_cow | i was pondering hitting the rec center & playing a little as well, but maybe thats best left for later in the week |
| 01:12.14 | darth_mall | well, in the mean time, I think I'm gonna clean the kitchen |
| 01:12.25 | purple_cow | hooray darth_mall |
| 01:12.45 | darth_mall | well, what really needs to happen is the living room needs to be vacuumed |
| 01:12.54 | purple_cow | yeah |
| 01:12.58 | darth_mall | but that can wait til tomorrow, when I'll have a little more time and inclination |

| 01:25.44 | carpman | gonkulator: there was a message, one of the EU servers needed to reboot, so they had to rehub |
| 01:25.49 | purple_cow | freenode at its best |
| 01:26.02 | gonkulator | carpman: yeah, I just saw that |
| 01:26.15 | gonkulator | and it was how I figured I could announce my being back :) |
| 01:26.53 | file | great, and yourself? |
| 01:27.02 | gonkulator | oh, fine fine |
| 01:27.43 | gonkulator | brb |
| 01:34.16 | darth_mall | purple_cow: did you want to go to the store? cuz if not I may as well go now |
| 01:36.10 | darth_mall | ~fishslap gonkulator |
| 01:36.13 | | ACTION slaps gonkulator up side the head with a wet fish. |
| 01:36.55 | purple_cow | darth_mall: i don't -really- have anything i need |
| 01:37.02 | purple_cow | so long as you pick up milk & cream ;) |
| 01:37.47 | darth_mall | =\ |
| 01:37.52 | darth_mall | I guess it is my turn |
| 01:38.56 | captain_proton | well - i actually think its mine |
| 01:39.01 | captain_proton | but i'll just buy the next couple times |
| 01:39.11 | darth_mall | I think you bought the cream last time |
| 01:39.28 | captain_proton | hmm, maybe |
| 01:39.56 | purple_cow | yuck @ all this crossover code between e-d-s & evolution |
| 01:42.02 | ChipX86 | yuck for a lot of things evolution-related |
| 01:49.28 | purple_cow | i'm gonna need to refactor all of the webcal cacheing stuff to use the new cache backend in order to do this weather backend cleanly =/ |
| 01:49.39 | purple_cow | i guess for now i'll just do some ugly if()s |
| 01:52.07 | purple_cow | ChipX86: you're still waiting on Nat for yours? |
| 01:52.35 | ChipX86 | I need to talk to Chris Toshok about some stuff first |
| 01:52.50 | ChipX86 | and libevolution-addressbook is proving very painful to link to outside of Evolution... |
| 01:59.02 | gonkulator | thats so dumb... |
| 02:00.52 | ChipX86 | heh |
| 02:00.58 | ChipX86 | yes gave me a write error |
| 02:03.06 | purple_cow | wow |
| 02:03.16 | purple_cow | scanline: your #picogui friend is trying to turn this into a pissing contest |
| 02:03.28 | scanline | mmmyep |
| 02:06.49 | scanline | heh |
| 02:08.07 | purple_cow | scanline: i probably shouldn't point out that modern palms use xscales... |
| 02:09.27 | scanline | purple_cow: well, I think the bootloader still is rather funky |
| 02:09.41 | scanline | but I haven't been into that sort of thing since the days when the Palm III was new |
| 02:09.47 | purple_cow | uhhuh - i haven't even heard of anyone getting linux to run on one |
| 02:09.57 | purple_cow | probably because its so much easier with things like the Z that its not worth it |
| 02:10.16 | scanline | yeah |
| 02:10.28 | scanline | well, a while back there was a hack you could do on some palms to write linux into flash |
| 02:10.45 | scanline | but then they started using ROM instead of flash, so you had to do a linloader style thing where you jump into a kernel in RAM from a PalmOS app |
| 02:11.01 | scanline | since everything had to be in RAM and the palm had little of that, it sucked |
| 02:11.12 | scanline | I don't think anyone got to the point of having a GUI |
| 02:11.17 | scanline | the framebuffer barely worked |
| 02:12.35 | scanline | in the Kiwi and uCsimm, the framebuffer driver was hugely broken, so I exploited the lack of MMU and programmed the LCD controller in userspace |
| 02:12.59 | scanline | on the Helio, the LCD controller flickered horribly unless a few settings were just right.. and then it would only flicker semi-horribly |
| 02:13.29 | scanline | and I had to do some sort of hack so it would explode after suspending |
| 02:14.33 | scanline | er, wouldn't |
| 02:14.40 | gonkulator | hehehe |
| 02:15.12 | captain_proton | yay, got evo to freeze |
| 02:15.33 | scanline | you should use Bug Buddy (tm) |
| 02:15.53 | captain_proton | it might help if i actually implemented some of this stuff |
| 02:21.00 | purple_cow | mmmmmm great song |
| 02:23.38 | purple_cow | hiya lurgyman |
| 02:23.55 | purple_cow | ooh, now it segfaults |
| 02:24.07 | purple_cow | i should probably make sure that my parent class matches between the header & implementation |
| 02:24.49 | ChipX86 | how's everyone's bounties going? |
| 02:25.28 | purple_cow | pretty well, it seems |
| 02:25.57 | ChipX86 | good |
| 02:26.54 | purple_cow | though i'm unsure about the usability of ECalBackendCache at this point |
| 02:27.47 | ChipX86 | is the calendar API screwed up like the addressbook API is? |
| 02:29.18 | kergoth | yo |
| 02:29.21 | ChipX86 | hey |
| 02:30.28 | purple_cow | ChipX86: i'm still not even quite sure what the calendar API is... :) |
| 02:30.32 | ChipX86 | haha |
| 02:30.38 | ChipX86 | sounds a bit like this side then |
| 02:30.59 | ChipX86 | the whole thing could have been designed a lot nicer |
| 02:31.25 | scanline | uh oh |
| 02:31.30 | scanline | sourceforge is down for maintenance |
| 02:31.40 | ChipX86 | oh good |
| 02:31.48 | purple_cow | ChipX86: well - it seems *reasonably* sane in that its all just GObjects being thrown around |
| 02:32.01 | purple_cow | but it could really use a thwack or six with a documentation stick |
| 02:32.03 | ChipX86 | nod |
| 02:32.11 | ChipX86 | the contact side is screwed up |
| 02:32.15 | ChipX86 | it was not thought out well enough |
| 02:32.24 | ChipX86 | and will require a rewrite for me to do what Toshok asked |
| 02:32.35 | purple_cow | ew |
| 02:32.47 | purple_cow | i guess that's why its a $2500 bounty ;) |
| 02:32.53 | ChipX86 | yeah |
| 02:33.46 | purple_cow | eww, ECalBackendCache isn't inherited from ECalBackend |
| 02:37.34 | lurgyman | hehehe |
| 02:37.35 | lurgyman | cool |
| 02:38.12 | captain_proton | bah, the bittorrent client sucks |
| 02:38.47 | captain_proton | if it fills the screen with warnings (like "invalid hash, redownloading part"), it thrashes trying to draw them all via ncurses |
| 02:39.14 | scanline | the GUI client probably doesn't do that :) |
| 02:39.22 | captain_proton | probably |
| 02:39.26 | captain_proton | but i'm running these from navi-proxy |
| 02:40.06 | lurgyman | whee |
| 02:41.09 | lurgyman | wow, what an annoying title sequence |
| 02:41.30 | purple_cow | eek |
| 02:42.13 | lurgyman | ooh, it's the 7th millenium of *time* |
| 02:42.54 | lurgyman | and a character named... starbuck? |
| 02:43.21 | lurgyman | his level of coffee consumption seems kind of low for a character with that name |
| 02:46.37 | lurgyman | ...in space mist! |
| 02:46.42 | purple_cow | hrm, maybe i'm misunderstanding how the cache is supposed to be used |
| 02:49.04 | ChipX86 | maybe it's not even a cache |
| 02:49.31 | *** topic/#tacobeam by lurgyman -> Malt-o-meal: Make EVERY meal an experiment in Brownian physics || "one thousand to one. that's not fair!" |

| 02:50.44 | ChipX86 | no clue who it was |

| 02:51.36 | lurgyman | purple_cow / captain_proton: we should watch some Battlestar Galactica :) |

| 02:54.06 | ChipX86 | this is funny, but it really sucks too |
| 02:54.15 | gonkulator | whyzat? |
| 02:54.22 | ChipX86 | I have no clue who it was :P |

| 03:00.17 | lurgyman | and poirot! |
| 03:00.19 | lurgyman | indeed :) |
| 03:00.23 | darth_mall | oooh, I love Poirot |
| 03:00.35 | lurgyman | i've read all of the Rumpoles, i don't think i've seen them all |
| 03:00.49 | darth_mall | I haven't read any, but I've seen a good number |
| 03:00.52 | darth_mall | though not since I was like 10 |
| 03:00.55 | lurgyman | darth_mall: we should make a trick this weekend ;) |
| 03:00.58 | lurgyman | er |
| 03:00.59 | lurgyman | trip |

| 03:10.55 | pagefault | he keeps meowing at me |
| 03:14.07 | gonkulator | crap |
| 03:17.00 | darth_mall | no! |
| 03:17.04 | scanline | you're the one who has to carry it here, right? |
| 03:17.21 | captain_proton | and you'll keep it out of walkways? |
| 03:17.32 | pagefault | poirot owns |
| 03:17.40 | scanline | you could set it up on my second desk if you run a cat5 down the stairs to it |
| 03:18.09 | gonkulator | scanline: yeah, I was actually thinking about possibly pulling the disk and sticking it in either your or darth_mall's machine |
| 03:18.17 | gonkulator | if thats ok with you guys |
| 03:18.24 | scanline | better to just bring the whole machine... |

| 03:19.39 | scanline | heh, so this momentum wheel test this afternoon was amusing... |
| 03:19.53 | gonkulator | yeah, what happened? |
| 03:19.55 | captain_proton | momentum....wheel? |
| 03:19.59 | scanline | yeah |
| 03:20.15 | scanline | it's this computer controlled gyroscope that we got donated and hasn't been tested in ages |
| 03:20.22 | scanline | nobody currently at spacegrant has ever seen it work |
| 03:21.16 | scanline | it has an HD-15 connector, with power, RS-422 comm, and a bunch of unused pins |
| 03:22.01 | scanline | I get there this afternoon, and Katie has a hacked up monitor cable with some bananna plugs attached |
| 03:22.36 | scanline | it needed a little rewiring (the guy who hooked it up thought the numbering went from left to right instead of as printed on the plug) |
| 03:22.39 | gonkulator | heh |
| 03:22.41 | darth_mall | mmmm... banana |
| 03:22.51 | scanline | but with some creative use of cat and echo we got it working |
| 03:22.56 | scanline | sounds like a really old hard disk :) |
| 03:23.16 | gonkulator | hehehe |
| 03:24.25 | scanline | hmm, I should email out the log files from that test... |
| 03:26.51 | gonkulator | oh, oops... |
| 03:30.47 | darth_mall | lol |
| 03:32.22 | gonkulator | ok, thats the last time I do that |

| 04:09.46 | zak | also! |
| 04:09.48 | zak | can i come? |
| 04:09.55 | zak | well shit |
| 04:10.02 | zak | hold on |
| 04:10.05 | darth_mall | zak: I believe it's called "turn around" |
| 04:10.18 | zak | quelle album? |
| 04:10.32 | darth_mall | track 15 on Apollo 18 |
| 04:14.54 | zak | danke |
| 04:14.55 | captain_proton | lurgyman: wtf keys does this thing modulate to? |
| 04:15.53 | darth_mall | hmmm... apparently TMBG has been doing stuff for Dr. Pepper commercials |
| 04:16.29 | lurgyman | captain_proton: what thing? |
| 04:16.40 | zak | lscd .. |
| 04:16.44 | zak | fdkjf |
| 04:16.47 | darth_mall | *that* thing |
| 04:16.50 | captain_proton | lurgyman: the analysis on the homework |
| 04:17.24 | lurgyman | oh |
| 04:17.27 | lurgyman | i dunno |
| 04:17.33 | lurgyman | zak: oh? |
| 04:17.39 | lurgyman | captain_proton: i haven't looked at it yet |
| 04:17.44 | scanline | wow, that's odd... |
| 04:17.47 | scanline | brk(0x7f00000) = 0xbff00000 |
| 04:17.47 | scanline | brk(0x8000000) = 0xbff00000 |
| 04:17.47 | scanline | brk(0x8100000) = 0x8100000 |
| 04:17.47 | scanline | brk(0x8200000) = 0x8200000 |
| 04:17.47 | scanline | b |
| 04:17.51 | captain_proton | and is someone going to call rich to make sure he's there? |
| 04:17.52 | darth_mall | ooooh She Thinks She's Edith Head mix |
| 04:20.03 | darth_mall | captain_proton: isn't it a bit late? |
| 04:20.46 | zak | who sings canada sucks? 3dead trolls? |
| 04:21.33 | darth_mall | ?? |
| 04:21.59 | darth_mall | captain_proton: are you saying you aren't taking the checks? |
| 04:22.29 | captain_proton | darth_mall: i'm ok with driving over there, but i'm frustrated with having to be the only one who actually takes the initiative to go |
| 04:22.55 | captain_proton | i would love it if i could just magnet a check to the fridge and have it magically get there like everyone else seems to do |
| 04:22.56 | captain_proton | =/ |
| 04:23.12 | darth_mall | captain_proton: I have no problem taking the checks over |
| 04:23.22 | darth_mall | though a little more notice than 9pm at night would be better |
| 04:23.58 | darth_mall | heh, this version of Particle Man is great |
| 04:24.07 | darth_mall | John Linnell is playing a 'stylophone' |
| 04:24.09 | darth_mall | whatever that is |
| 04:24.26 | captain_proton | well - it just seems to me that people asked me to wait until tonight |
| 04:24.52 | darth_mall | but if you really don't want to go, give me directions and I'll drive |
| 04:24.58 | captain_proton | and suddenly noone is willing to put in any effort - even a simple phone call, since rich has previously been happily awake at this hour |
| 04:26.10 | captain_proton | sorry if i sound a little frustrated, its this fucking music theory thats making me that way |
| 04:26.18 | scanline | =( |
| 04:26.49 | darth_mall | nice! |
| 04:26.53 | darth_mall | TMBG song from Dexter's Lab! |
| 04:27.02 | darth_mall | captain_proton: well, gimme the directions to his house |
| 04:28.19 | captain_proton | arapahoe to eisenhower to that one street that dan lived on then turn right =/ |
| 04:28.57 | darth_mall | I see... |
| 04:29.05 | darth_mall | and you don't recall the street? |
| 04:29.05 | zak | lol |
| 04:29.24 | lurgyman | darth_mall: heh, i kin go with you |
| 04:29.31 | lurgyman | so as to have an idea where you're going |
| 04:32.23 | darth_mall | captain_proton: he's there |
| 04:32.35 | captain_proton | mmmk |
| 04:32.38 | captain_proton | who all wanted to go? |
| 04:32.53 | zak | i would but i need a bank so tomorrow |
| 04:33.18 | captain_proton | well - i'm planning to stop at a bank on the trip |
| 04:35.42 | captain_proton | POKE POKE POKE |
| 04:36.19 | zak | yes |
| 04:36.24 | zak | no checks |
| 04:36.30 | zak | therefore, need bank to be open |
| 04:37.11 | captain_proton | gablargh, you couldn't have said "tomorrow" at the beginning of this diatribe? |
| 04:39.58 | kergoth | bleh |
| 04:41.10 | lurgyman | ? |
| 04:41.27 | darth_mall | there's an awful lot of stuff in here that isn't TMBG |
| 04:41.43 | lurgyman | uh oh |
| 04:41.45 | lurgyman | like wha? |
| 04:41.58 | darth_mall | flight of the barking death squirrels |
| 04:42.04 | darth_mall | metallica napster |
| 04:42.09 | lurgyman | heh |
| 04:42.13 | lurgyman | yay for napster |
| 04:42.14 | darth_mall | that stupid 'i be an retarded' song |
| 04:42.25 | lurgyman | not TMBG? |
| 04:42.26 | darth_mall | at least flight of the barking death squirrels is funny |
| 04:42.32 | lurgyman | heh |
| 04:42.33 | darth_mall | not as far as I can tell |
| 04:42.46 | darth_mall | it's not on the wiki, which is the most comprehensive song list I can find |
| 04:42.49 | lurgyman | ooh, the video station has some movie called 'wasabi' |
| 04:42.52 | darth_mall | plus it doesn't sound like them at all |
| 04:43.08 | lurgyman | well, if you say so |
| 04:44.11 | lurgyman | yikes |
| 04:45.13 | darth_mall | lurgyman: take a look at the TMBG directory now ^^ |
| 04:53.09 | lurgyman | :) much prettier |
| 04:53.34 | darth_mall | you should check out the dee dee and dexter song in misc |
| 04:53.35 | darth_mall | it's great |
| 04:54.29 | darth_mall | and particle man (stylophone) is really cool |
| 04:54.46 | darth_mall | and on that note, I get ready for bed |
| 04:54.47 | lurgyman | okeydokey |
| 04:54.51 | lurgyman | g'night :) |
| 04:59.08 | zak | +s |
| 04:59.17 | scanline | kerpoof! |
| 05:00.33 | lurgyman | squeedgie |
| 05:02.41 | zak | if it has batteries |
| 05:04.23 | scanline | mmnope |
| 05:04.28 | scanline | dunno if it has batteries |
| 05:05.46 | zak | will you check before we brave the cold |
| 05:05.52 | scanline | k |
| 05:06.13 | zak | gratzie |
| 05:07.04 | scanline | well, the batteries in it are very dead, but I may have some replacements |
| 05:07.37 | scanline | haha |
| 05:07.43 | zak | lol, kk |
| 05:07.46 | zak | let me know |
| 05:07.46 | scanline | it still has equations on the screen when I power it on |
| 05:08.08 | scanline | so it works mmyep |
| 05:09.28 | darth_mall | night kids |
| 05:09.47 | zak | kk |
| 05:09.55 | scanline | yay, david's home |
| 05:10.01 | scanline | and I thought it was jen |
| 05:10.03 | zak | nm, friend in question is lazy |
| 05:10.05 | zak | hiya david |
| 05:12.04 | lurgyman | captain_proton: yipes, this theery is kinda wonky |
| 05:12.08 | zak | gonkulator: kendra is proud for not goofing off, cause then she gets to see you (insert acceptable mushy stuff here) |
| 05:12.20 | scanline | hehe, mushy stuff |
| 05:12.47 | captain_proton | lurgyman: wonky in that "makes no sense" way |
| 05:12.48 | zak | scanline: what did you do? |
| 05:13.06 | lurgyman | yep |
| 05:13.33 | scanline | zak: well, somehow the topic of kendra's boyfriend came up.. and I said something along the lines of "I've never seen them together, but supposedly things gets quite mushy" :) |
| 05:14.10 | scanline | or something |
| 05:14.15 | scanline | whatever it was, she got quite red |
| 05:14.55 | lurgyman | captain_proton: what are you getting for the 2nd chord in measure 2? |
| 05:15.13 | captain_proton | ii mm7/VI |
| 05:15.35 | scanline | yep |
| 05:15.47 | lurgyman | captain_proton: erm... are you allowed to use a ii chord to tonicize things? |
| 05:16.07 | zak | MUAHAHAHAHAAHHA |
| 05:16.20 | lurgyman | meow? |
| 05:16.21 | scanline | zak: are you two nextdoor or at some remote siberia-like location? |
| 05:16.23 | captain_proton | lurgyman: it said to analyze it as a secondary function of VI |
| 05:16.28 | zak | ~whaleslap zak |
| 05:16.31 | | ACTION slaps zak upside and over the head with one freakishly huge killer whale named hugh |
| 05:16.34 | zak | ~whaleslap iris |
| 05:16.37 | | ACTION slaps iris upside and over the head with one freakishly huge killer whale named hugh |
| 05:16.52 | zak | scanline: we are... |
| 05:16.59 | captain_proton | which is then followed by a V7/VI on the first beat of 3 |
| 05:17.07 | scanline | zak: if nextdoor, can I bring over your drill now? it's just taking up space in my room and every time I've thought about it you're not there |
| 05:17.12 | scanline | hmm, alright.. I guess that means you're nextdoor |
| 05:17.19 | lurgyman | captain_proton: heh, good call |
| 05:17.21 | scanline | want me to bring the calculator while I'm at it? |
| 05:17.22 | zak | Why didn't you answer your closet |
| 05:17.28 | zak | hurry up we're waiting! |
| 05:17.37 | zak | sure |
| 05:17.42 | scanline | bah, I'm on the other side of the room and don't really feel like banging on the inside of my closed |
| 05:17.44 | scanline | er, closet |
| 05:18.31 | lurgyman | captain_proton: though i think i'm getting a diminished ii |
| 05:18.34 | captain_proton | lurgyman: it all makes sense up to m.6 |
| 05:18.59 | captain_proton | how is C Eb G Bb diminished? |
| 05:19.04 | captain_proton | if it were a Gb maybe |
| 05:19.52 | lurgyman | heh, whoops, missed the G |
| 05:21.09 | captain_proton | gah, these last few days have been far too stressful |
| 05:21.11 | zak | G! |
| 05:23.22 | scanline | craaaazy party in zak's room |
| 05:23.29 | zak | argh! |
| 05:26.40 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 05:26.49 | lurgyman | i feel like i should be getting some +6 chords in here somewhere |
| 05:26.52 | lurgyman | but i'm not finding any |
| 05:28.14 | captain_proton | i got a Gr+6 on the first beat of m4 |
| 05:28.59 | lurgyman | ah |
| 05:29.00 | lurgyman | hmm |
| 05:29.23 | lurgyman | wait, isn't the root of that chord a g#? |
| 05:31.53 | captain_proton | oh hmm, the sharp is on the g isn't it |
| 05:32.00 | lurgyman | yep :( |
| 05:32.44 | captain_proton | guess +6s are on the next page |
| 05:32.51 | captain_proton | whatever the hell keys the next page is in |
| 05:33.03 | lurgyman | yep |
| 05:33.25 | lurgyman | yikes, flats everywhere |
| 05:33.32 | captain_proton | hrmph, /me needs to come up with a topic for this paper to write |
| 05:33.57 | lurgyman | what paper? |
| 05:34.05 | captain_proton | "persuasive essay" |
| 05:34.11 | captain_proton | but i dunno what to persuade people of |
| 05:34.18 | scanline | ducks for president in 2008! |
| 05:34.28 | captain_proton | technically it was due last tuesday |
| 05:34.32 | captain_proton | but i chose not to go to class |
| 05:34.45 | captain_proton | (rough draft due anyhow) |
| 05:35.00 | lurgyman | ah |
| 05:35.22 | lurgyman | you should persuade everyone to vote bush for ex-president in 2004 |
| 05:35.24 | captain_proton | maybe i'll choose something blindly obvious, like the arts in schools |
| 05:36.02 | scanline | is this the 'writing for engineers' class? |
| 05:36.04 | lurgyman | bah |
| 05:36.06 | lurgyman | or |
| 05:36.07 | captain_proton | yeah |
| 05:36.21 | lurgyman | you could write about the evils of brahms |
| 05:36.26 | scanline | hrmph.. guess I'll be in for the same fun next semester |
| 05:36.33 | lurgyman | :) |
| 05:37.02 | lurgyman | or the importance of exorcism in our daily life |
| 05:37.03 | captain_proton | hah, i love how the netsplits come as soon as redhat releases a kernel patch |
| 05:37.48 | lurgyman | hehe |
| 05:37.55 | scanline | I've been looking at the brk() patch and the code in question, and trying things, and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem |
| 05:38.09 | captain_proton | scanline: what kernel are you running? |
| 05:38.10 | scanline | I'm sure I just don't understand the VM well enough, but I'd be really curious to see some real exploit code |
| 05:38.37 | scanline | 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 it seems.. I verified that my kernel source doesn't include the patch |
| 05:38.56 | captain_proton | hmm, 2.4.20 is vulnerable, but it could be that the gentoo patches munge it somehow |
| 05:39.17 | captain_proton | ugh, we'll need to upgrade navi and navi-proxy |
| 05:39.23 | scanline | I doubt it.. I found the patch in question and it isn't in my current kernel sources |
| 05:39.57 | captain_proton | scanline: what i mean is that the VM could be doing some other weird things due to gentoo |
| 05:40.05 | scanline | by brk()'ing in small chunks and linking statically I can allocate all the way from the beginning of the process' address space to the page before the kernel starts, but I can't allocate over the kernel's address space- which is how the exploit is supposed to work |
| 05:40.13 | scanline | captain_proton: maybe |
| 05:40.57 | scanline | it looks like somehow the length passed to do_brk() is supposed to end up large enough that it wraps around when added to the start address, but the checks done in its caller seem to prevent that |
| 05:41.24 | lurgyman | captain_proton: hmm.... well, bits of this make little to no sense, but i have that it modulates to F then Db |
| 05:41.26 | scanline | I'm not sure if the kernel's address space is handled with VMAs like userspace is |
| 05:41.40 | captain_proton | lurgyman: i was thinkin' Db |
| 05:41.49 | captain_proton | but how is there a common chord modulation from F to Db? |
| 05:41.54 | captain_proton | they're not exactly closely related |
| 05:42.11 | zak | hm |
| 05:42.38 | lurgyman | captain_proton: i was thinking that the first chord in measure 10 is a borrowed minor i in F and a iii in Db |
| 05:43.30 | lurgyman | but that means you get an awful lot of borrowed diminished ii43 chords in the line before |
| 05:44.11 | lurgyman | it also means that i get no +6 chords whatsoever |
| 05:45.12 | lurgyman | heh |

| 18:15.03 | darth_mall | cuz my iPod is dieing... again |
| 18:15.12 | gonkulator | dang |
| 18:15.34 | gonkulator | darth_mall: that would be cool, but I am going to be getting a wicked cool discount because I am the president of a MUG |
| 18:15.50 | darth_mall | gonkulator: that doesn't make them good machines though ^^ |
| 18:16.15 | gonkulator | when I got my iPod, I only expected it to live at most two years |
| 18:16.27 | darth_mall | my first one didn't even live a full year |
| 18:16.35 | gonkulator | oh yeah... |
| 18:16.36 | darth_mall | and that's a disgusting expectation to begin with |
| 18:16.44 | darth_mall | my MD player has lasted 4 and is still going strong |
| 18:16.57 | gonkulator | nod |
| 18:17.06 | darth_mall | and it cost less than 100$ |
| 18:17.16 | darth_mall | whereas I paid like 400$ for my iPod |
| 18:17.36 | darth_mall | and now that it's dieing apple will be kind enough to replace the crappy battery that they knew would cause problems for another 100$ |
| 18:17.51 | gonkulator | you can get a do it yourself kit for 50 bucxkcxs |
| 18:18.16 | darth_mall | that's still 50$ more than I'm willing to spend considering how much I already spent on it |
| 18:18.40 | darth_mall | especially in light of the fact that my MD player still works and is 4 times older than my iPod |
| 18:18.57 | gonkulator | ok, class time |
| 18:22.19 | scanline | ugh, digi-key's prices on IDC D-sub connectors are disgusting |
| 18:36.14 | captain_proton | hmm |
| 18:36.17 | captain_proton | we need to go to tora sometime |
| 18:37.25 | darth_mall | omg |
| 18:37.47 | darth_mall | I was just looking at my grades for components and someone asked his grades to be posted under 'HAXOR8' |
| 18:38.42 | captain_proton | hahaha |
| 18:46.00 | captain_proton | yay, new 12 kingdoms is downloading |
| 18:54.59 | scanline | aha |
| 18:55.05 | scanline | cool |
| 18:55.27 | scanline | I pull a random maxim chip out of the drawer, look up a data sheet, and it's what I need |
| 19:06.03 | darth_mall | captain_proton: which sentence? |
| 19:06.43 | captain_proton | However, these filtering systems will ultimately be deemed a failure when they start deleteing e-mails from the company president just because they contain the words "PENIS ENLARGEMENT." |
| 19:07.03 | darth_mall | lol |
| 19:07.05 | captain_proton | this essay is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, if you hadn't guessed |
| 19:08.03 | captain_proton | hmm |
| 19:08.27 | captain_proton | "Most of the time these take the form of a blank e-mail, but can be as creative as a verse of Shakespeare or requests for vendors of science-fiction products. Even spammers have the occasional need for an Acme 5X24 series time transducing capacitor with built in temporal displacement." |
| 19:09.14 | scanline | ooh, time transducing capacitors |
| 19:09.21 | scanline | betcha digi-key would charge a bundle for those |
| 19:09.31 | captain_proton | yup |
| 19:09.53 | captain_proton | such a damn good song |
| 19:10.02 | scanline | hmm, I think I'll follow test-driven design practices by playing with chips to build a test rig rather than writing code :) |
| 19:10.21 | captain_proton | hehe |
| 19:11.48 | scanline | ooh |
| 19:12.14 | scanline | there's a 68HC11 here packaged in the same style as the EPROM version of the pic16c745 |
| 19:12.26 | scanline | but 64-pin |
| 19:12.57 | captain_proton | ouch |
| 19:13.08 | captain_proton | major breakin on the big unix hosts at CU |
| 19:13.20 | darth_mall | ?? |
| 19:14.01 | scanline | which ones? |
| 19:15.11 | captain_proton | ones you haven't heard of ;) |
| 19:15.21 | captain_proton | boulder/refuge/cujo/probably others |
| 19:18.44 | scanline | ah |
| 19:18.46 | scanline | yep |
| 19:18.55 | scanline | hmm |
| 19:19.33 | scanline | instead of actually building a test rig that can apply voltages to each input, wire most of the pins up to a couple fixed voltage dividers to test the multiplexer, then control one pin via PWM to test the converter itself |
| 19:19.48 | captain_proton | nobody publicise that info re: breakin yet ;) |
| 19:20.05 | captain_proton | apparently unixops hasn't yet finished their audit |
| 19:20.49 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 19:20.56 | captain_proton | hehe |
| 19:24.19 | scanline | AAAAHHHG |
| 19:24.28 | scanline | all the little grippy-magnifying-holder-widgets are gone |
| 19:25.00 | scanline | we had about a 4x1x1 foot drawer full of them |
| 19:27.35 | lurgyman | whee |
| 19:27.38 | lurgyman | kersploodgie |
| 19:27.50 | lurgyman | darth_mall: up for an I, Claudius in a bit? |
| 19:28.01 | darth_mall | hmmm.... sure |
| 19:28.53 | scanline | aha |
| 19:29.12 | scanline | Chris had them all packed up so they could be used for soldering lessons |
| 19:29.51 | scanline | since I doubt they teach the elementary school kids and such that show up at outreaches how to solder |
| 19:30.03 | captain_proton | hehe |
| 19:30.29 | lurgyman | yay :) |
| 19:31.42 | captain_proton | time to leave |
| 19:31.46 | captain_proton | err, wait |
| 19:31.48 | captain_proton | no it isn't |
| 19:31.54 | scanline | hmm, we seem to have fewer wire strippers than usual too |
| 19:31.55 | darth_mall | hehe |
| 19:32.46 | scanline | man, this test setup always turns into such a crazy mess |
| 19:32.58 | darth_mall | mmm... crazy |
| 19:33.28 | kergoth | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107039258307985&w=2 |
| 19:33.31 | kergoth | ahahah |
| 19:33.32 | darth_mall | ooh dan is here! |
| 19:33.37 | scanline | gigantic breadboard with critical decoder prototype, three ribbon cables coming out of that and going to various places, small wire-wrapped loader board for sending code to the critical decoder, two 37-pin D connectors propped up on stands with wires coming out and going into another breadboard with an rcpod on it |

| 19:44.48 | pagefault | thanks |
| 19:45.03 | scanline | I think after I finish wiring this CDH2 test plug I should wander over to silvermine and get a sammich whilst studying a bit for an AI quiz :) |
| 19:53.52 | gonkulator | darth_mall: I might get a real job out of this |
| 19:54.09 | darth_mall | nope |
| 19:54.14 | darth_mall | or... yup |

| 19:54.40 | scanline | gonkulator: is this still the java version you showed us, or did you get the cgi and html forms working? |
| 19:57.52 | gonkulator | scanline: html forms are working |

| 20:36.42 | darth_mall | hmm... that's a little odd |
| 20:36.59 | darth_mall | while intending to put a glass in the dishwasher I almost stuck it in the microwave |
| 20:37.09 | gonkulator | sbahra: aska question :)_ |
| 20:37.47 | gonkulator | sbahra: say hi :) |
| 20:38.01 | sbahra | gonkulator: Hi *g* |
| 20:38.09 | darth_mall | who is answering the questions? |
| 20:38.24 | darth_mall | that dr. ray guy? |
| 20:38.24 | gonkulator | darth_mall: the president of Metro |
| 20:38.24 | darth_mall | pff |
| 20:38.47 | gonkulator | darth_mall: yep |
| 20:38.49 | darth_mall | he doesn't seem to type very well |
| 20:39.27 | gonkulator | lol |
| 20:40.03 | file | gonkulator: is that live? |
| 20:40.12 | file | gonkulator: oh it is, cool |
| 20:40.13 | darth_mall | file: no, it just says it is |
| 20:40.18 | darth_mall | but it's alie |
| 20:40.25 | gonkulator | file: very live ;) |
| 20:40.50 | file | I feel like submitting a statement... "The next thing I say is a lie, this is a lie" |
| 20:40.51 | darth_mall | in fact, all of these questions and answers were pre-recorded 20 years ago in anticipation of this |
| 20:40.51 | file | LOL |
| 20:41.21 | darth_mall | mmm... I love this version of this song |
| 20:41.37 | file | gonkulator: it's cool to know you made this |
| 20:41.38 | darth_mall | jeff buckley's version is even prettier than rufus wainwrights |
| 20:41.59 | gonkulator | thanks file |
| 20:42.12 | gonkulator | file: if you get mentioned in the newsppaer article, I'll mail you a copy :) |
| 20:42.25 | darth_mall | why would file get mentioned? |
| 20:42.48 | file | yes, why would I get mentioned?!?!?! lol |
| 20:42.50 | gonkulator | darth_mall: because I made mention of IRC |
| 20:42.58 | gonkulator | they want to know EVERYTHING I am doing |
| 20:43.04 | file | oh no, we're being watched |
| 20:43.22 | darth_mall | yay! |
| 20:43.29 | darth_mall | well, in that case: |

| 20:43.38 | | ACTION slaps file upside and over the head with one freakishly huge killer whale named hugh |
| 20:43.41 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 20:43.47 | gonkulator | so I talk about the approprate stuff |
| 20:45.45 | gonkulator | sbahra: Airee feek |
| 20:45.48 | gonkulator | :) |
| 20:46.02 | darth_mall | gonkulator: gross |
| 20:46.02 | file | gonkulator: that president dude seems interesting |
| 20:48.09 | sbahra | gonkulator: Kiss immak, kul khara. |
| 20:48.23 | darth_mall | mmm... and I love BF5's version of Tiny Dancer |
| 20:48.31 | gonkulator | sbahra: alright :) |
| 20:49.05 | sbahra | gonkulator: Literal translation: "Your mother's pussy, eat shit" |
| 20:49.26 | sbahra | gonkulator: Meaning: "You dick is in your mother's pussy, don't speak and eat or something of that manner" |
| 20:49.47 | gonkulator | sbahra: good to know, but you will have to tell me that one again later |
| 20:49.50 | gonkulator | I won't remember that |
| 20:49.56 | gonkulator | at least, not right now |
| 20:50.24 | sbahra | heh. |
| 20:50.37 | file | gonkulator: EXCH? |
| 20:52.11 | file | FCGDAEB! |
| 20:52.39 | darth_mall | shut up, file |
| 20:52.41 | file | BEADGCF! |
| 20:54.12 | gonkulator | file: I accidently hit a button |
| 20:54.37 | file | gonkulator: bad, bad! |
| 20:54.46 | file | is it still going? |
| 20:56.11 | gonkulator | file: we're ending it |
| 20:56.31 | file | ic |

| 21:00.00 | lurgyman | yipes |
| 21:00.01 | darth_mall | yay! lurgyman's back! I can breathe agai |
| 21:00.04 | darth_mall | s/agai/again/ |
| 21:00.09 | darth_mall | nooooooo! |
| 21:01.04 | gonkulator | well, all done |
| 21:02.41 | sbahra | gonkulator: hehe, reading the chat thing now ;) |
| 21:03.43 | darth_mall | ooh, it's hardwire |
| 21:04.03 | darth_mall | gonkulator: I want to hire you next to write me some software ^^ |
| 21:04.58 | gonkulator | darth_mall: ok :) |
| 21:05.45 | darth_mall | but I can't pay you anything |
| 21:05.54 | gonkulator | well... screw you :) |
| 21:05.56 | darth_mall | and I don't care what the software does ^^ |
| 21:06.14 | darth_mall | as long as it's written in cobal |
| 21:06.19 | darth_mall | >=) |
| 21:10.25 | gonkulator | ok, I have to go to class now |
| 21:10.26 | gonkulator | later darth_mall |
| 21:11.50 | gonkulator | hehehe |
| 21:41.13 | darth_mall | almost naptime |
| 21:44.40 | darth_mall | gonkulator: make all the homework go away |
| 21:48.21 | scanline | hmm |
| 21:48.40 | darth_mall | ooh, scanline's still alive |
| 21:49.04 | gonkulator | yay for scanline being alive |
| 21:49.10 | gonkulator | hi file |
| 21:51.22 | darth_mall | well, I have gotten enough hw done that I think I can safely call it a day on that front for the moment |
| 21:58.38 | *** join/#tacobeam captain_proton (~blardebla@navi.cs.colorado.edu) |
| 21:58.38 | *** mode/#tacobeam [+b scanl1ne!*@*] by brin.freenode.net |
| 22:09.27 | scanline | heh, it's kinda funny watching the antique 10baseT hub here blink when I interact with my emacs over remote X |
| 22:09.28 | darth_mall | well, so much for that idea |
| 22:10.17 | darth_mall | so the question is: what do I do now? |
| 22:10.17 | scanline | come here and entertain me |
| 22:10.51 | scanline | no |
| 22:10.52 | scanline | here |
| 22:11.13 | gonkulator | scanline: at work? |
| 22:12.09 | scanline | yeah |
| 22:12.19 | scanline | don't think kendra is still here though |
| 22:12.34 | gonkulator | if Kendra is there, I shouldn't come, because I wouldn't focus on you |
| 22:12.39 | scanline | heh |
| 22:12.57 | scanline | but think of all the fun you could have breaking my hardware |
| 22:12.58 | gonkulator | and I have a paper to write for tomorrow thats just barely started |
| 22:13.11 | purple_cow | hmm |
| 22:13.12 | gonkulator | hmm... |
| 22:13.14 | gonkulator | could I work on philosophy there? |
| 22:13.20 | purple_cow | this g4 ibook is actually kind of snappy |
| 22:13.27 | purple_cow | and the keyboard is clickier than the g3 ones |
| 22:13.31 | gonkulator | purple_cow: yeah, theyre fun |
| 22:13.35 | gonkulator | whoa |
| 22:13.35 | scanline | I don't think there's a no-philosophy rule surrounding this place |
| 22:13.39 | scanline | but it would be rather weird |
| 22:13.54 | scanline | mmm, finky |
| 22:14.12 | gonkulator | scanline: I'll come up and stay up after the last final of mine |
| 22:14.43 | gonkulator | and... |
| 22:14.48 | gonkulator | that will let me stalk scanline |
| 22:14.56 | darth_mall | ewww... look at all that space dan left |
| 22:15.43 | gonkulator | scanline: would you mindi f I stalked you next week? |
| 22:16.29 | scanline | I'll probably be pretty busy, but I guess it couldn't hurt too much... |
| 22:16.49 | gonkulator | well, if I get annoying, I can sit with my iBook |
| 22:17.00 | scanline | :) |
| 22:17.58 | purple_cow | hmm, fink keeps complaining about having no nm |
| 22:18.02 | purple_cow | maybe this needs dev tools? |
| 22:18.05 | gonkulator | damnit... I am starting to do philosophy on my own time |
| 22:18.09 | darth_mall | purple_cow: I think so |
| 22:18.12 | gonkulator | purple_cow: Xcode! |
| 22:18.33 | gonkulator | darth_mall: I made the switch at work |
| 22:19.31 | gonkulator | darth_mall: yeah, but right after finishing a semester |
| 22:19.45 | purple_cow | aha, needed to select the unstable feeds |
| 22:19.50 | scanline | blergh.. this flight software source code is the RS-485 equivalent of making every networked application assemble its own ethernet frames by hand |
| 22:20.12 | gonkulator | eeew |
| 22:20.24 | scanline | but with the added flavour of 2000-line switch statements with nested switch statements inside |
| 22:20.28 | darth_mall | yay for Particle Man (Stylophone)!!!! |
| 22:21.18 | darth_mall | hehe, John Linell messed up the lyrics a little |
| 22:22.25 | gonkulator | well, the president will be getting me a job |
| 22:22.46 | darth_mall | noooooooooo! |
| 22:23.06 | gonkulator | no, not no |
| 22:23.10 | gonkulator | thats great :) |
| 22:23.27 | darth_mall | no, I can't view this clip! |
| 22:23.28 | darth_mall | grrr! |
| 22:23.52 | gonkulator | ah |
| 22:24.37 | darth_mall | grrr |
| 22:24.42 | darth_mall | some stupid windows format thingy |
| 22:24.51 | gonkulator | hmm... |
| 22:25.01 | gonkulator | if I get a job, and start making ogood money... |
| 22:25.05 | darth_mall | "Please note: TechTV video is encoded in Windows MP format." |
| 22:25.24 | gonkulator | I don't suppose we could kick out one of lurgyman's roommates and let me move in? |
| 22:25.26 | darth_mall | is there a mozilla plugin I could get to view it? |
| 22:25.28 | scanline | mplayer and/or xine can handle a lot of those |
| 22:25.42 | scanline | just look at the page source to get the real URL and download it |
| 22:25.54 | darth_mall | scanline: good idea! |
| 22:27.46 | scanline | you could live in our closet, next to the ramens, and ben |
| 22:27.53 | kergoth | hrmmm |
| 22:28.02 | gonkulator | no... I want a real room and a real bed :) |
| 22:28.20 | file | get the keymaker to make you a key to your own room |
| 22:28.22 | gonkulator | and that would be one less annoying roommate to have for lurgyman |
| 22:29.34 | gonkulator | though... I shouldn't add a seventh head to nova |
| 22:29.46 | gonkulator | because that would make it just that much harder to move |
| 22:32.24 | darth_mall | arg! |
| 22:32.26 | darth_mall | can't find it... |
| 22:35.21 | scanline | gonkulator: I think lurgyman might have something to say about the electric bill for 7 monitors |
| 22:35.57 | gonkulator | nor would I have all of them on during normal use :) |
| 22:38.10 | gonkulator | scanline: I didn't use PHP for the cgi.... I wasn't allowed to turn php on |
| 22:38.13 | gonkulator | so I used perl |
| 22:39.49 | gonkulator | darth_mall: I'll help you :) |
| 22:39.51 | gonkulator | link? |
| 22:39.57 | darth_mall | http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/showtell/story/0,24330,3426744,00.html |
| 22:39.59 | darth_mall | that's the main page |
| 22:40.03 | darth_mall | it links to the 3 clips I want |
| 22:40.39 | gonkulator | alright |
| 22:44.17 | gonkulator | ~class |
| 22:44.18 | | it has been said that class is over |
| 22:44.29 | gonkulator | iindeed |
| 22:44.34 | gonkulator | later scanline ,d arpurp |
| 22:44.40 | gonkulator | doh! |
| 22:44.46 | gonkulator | oh well |
| 22:44.49 | gonkulator | later everyone |
| 23:02.09 | darth_mall | scanline: if we rip the Direct from Brooklyn disk we could extract the audio into mp3's yeah? |
| 23:08.55 | scanline | well, the audio would already be one big ogg in the video file |
| 23:09.17 | darth_mall | hmmm... but, if one were so enclined a single song might be separated? |
| 23:10.39 | scanline | probably |
| 23:10.57 | scanline | wouldn't you want to rip each music video separately anyway? |
| 23:12.16 | darth_mall | that too |
| 23:15.54 | kergoth | woot. just found a ton of audio cds i forgot i owned |
| 23:27.08 | darth_mall | purple_cow captain_proton: you'll need to take a look at the network connections in jen's apt. when you get a chance |
| 23:27.25 | darth_mall | looks like a dead cable, but both jen and naomi have lost their internet connections |
| 23:28.30 | darth_mall | and I have no idea why |
| 23:28.47 | darth_mall | however, I must now be off to calc lab |
| 23:28.52 | purple_cow | darth_mall: mmmk |
| 23:28.59 | purple_cow | anyone know where i would get the osx dev tools? |
| 23:29.19 | kergoth | hm, how do i throttle an scp? |
| 23:29.57 | darth_mall | purple_cow: something like developer.apple.com |
| 23:30.08 | darth_mall | then you have to sign up and all this shite, it's really annoying |
| 23:30.44 | purple_cow | darth_mall: k |
| 23:30.59 | darth_mall | and if I recall, the link is pretty difficult to find |
| 23:31.03 | darth_mall | though that may have changed |
| 23:32.12 | purple_cow | heh |
| 23:38.04 | kergoth | hm, when you guys rip cds, what quality do you normally encode at? |
| 23:38.11 | kergoth | i've been going with quality 7 vbr ogg |
| 23:39.55 | ChipX86 | I've been doing q6 |
| 23:45.55 | purple_cow | i usually do 5-8 |
| 23:45.58 | purple_cow | depending on my mood |
| 23:47.39 | gonkulator | purple_cow: I have the developer tools CD |
| 23:47.44 | gonkulator | purple_cow: would you like an iso? |
| 23:51.47 | purple_cow | gonkulator: naw, i'm installing it now |
| 23:52.27 | kergoth | what the hell. windows just read this mp3 cd as a 15 track audio cd |
| 23:52.39 | gonkulator | kergoth: wonky |
| 23:53.41 | darth_mall | wee lab |
| 23:55.47 | kergoth | damn these cds are scratched all to hell |
| 23:55.48 | kergoth | grr |
| 23:55.49 | darth_mall | hmmm |
| 23:56.13 | darth_mall | it seems that mathematica has disappeared |
| 23:57.37 | darth_mall | wonderful |
