| 00:00.27 | gonkulator | darth_mall: ok, here is the scoop |
| 00:00.27 | scanline | oh, and these 'engineers' also have really annoyingly small vocabularies |
| 00:00.31 | gonkulator | darth_mall: she had a sinus infection that spread across her face and into her eyes |
| 00:00.41 | gonkulator | she is currently in the gunnison(sp) hospital |
| 00:00.45 | kergoth | scanline: eh, poor excuse for an engineer |
| 00:00.47 | scanline | someone used 'heuristics' in their paper.. that person was pronouncing it wrong, and the other people in the group needed it explained to them |
| 00:01.03 | scanline | kergoth: well, yeah |
| 00:01.06 | kergoth | egad. |
| 00:01.06 | gonkulator | she will be transfering to C. Springs either today or tomorrow |
| 00:01.09 | scanline | kergoth: most of the engineering students here make crappy engineers |
| 00:01.18 | gonkulator | and only erin (her best friend, I don't know her) has seen her |
| 00:01.21 | kergoth | thats unfortuante |
| 00:01.39 | darth_mall | =\ |
| 00:01.39 | scanline | kergoth: CS is especially bad.. that's why I get pissed off at people who think grades are any measure of skill around here |
| 00:02.03 | scanline | kergoth: hell, most of the CS professors here can't write good code from what I've seen |
| 00:02.24 | darth_mall | ^^ |
| 00:02.26 | lurgy|elsewhere | scanline: is there a big black leatherish folder in your living room? |
| 00:02.29 | darth_mall | lurgy|elsewhere: que pasa? |
| 00:02.34 | scanline | lurgy|elsewhere: I'm not at home |
| 00:02.37 | lurgy|elsewhere | ok |
| 00:02.50 | lurgy|elsewhere | scanline: want a ride home? purple_cow is heading in that direction |
| 00:02.55 | lurgy|elsewhere | ok |
| 00:02.57 | lurgy|elsewhere | guess not :) |
| 00:02.57 | scanline | nah, I have a meeting soon |
| 00:03.09 | darth_mall | don't see one |
| 00:03.12 | lurgy|elsewhere | ok |

| 00:05.02 | gonkulator | darth_mall: they are either step siblgings or something like that |
| 00:05.06 | gonkulator | or half siblings |
| 00:05.14 | gonkulator | but not full siblings |
| 00:05.14 | darth_mall | mmk |

| 00:08.08 | kergoth | /win 24 |
| 00:08.10 | kergoth | blah |
| 00:08.55 | gonkulator | hehehe |
| 00:09.26 | scanline | is there something wrong with me? every time I see a bunch of ROTC kids marching in front of the engineering center and "singing" I want to shoot something |
| 00:09.38 | scanline | ROTC kids can't sing |
| 00:09.45 | Cae | they don't really even chant |
| 00:10.09 | scanline | yeah.. it's more of a communal grunt, with a little rhythm |
| 00:10.13 | Cae | I'm not sure what to call it. |
| 00:10.24 | Cae | eh..the ones here are better than grunting. |
| 00:10.25 | darth_mall | ROTC kids should be squirreled away somewhere where no one has to deal with them |
| 00:10.43 | Cae | it's more like talking in rhythm. |
| 00:10.51 | Cae | but then again, ours are pretty well-trained. |
| 00:11.01 | scanline | http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/gnome/monkey-bubble |
| 00:11.03 | scanline | mmmmm |
| 00:11.05 | scanline | monkey |
| 00:11.06 | gonkulator | they're called "jodies" |
| 00:11.13 | Cae | ? |
| 00:11.52 | gonkulator | the talking in rhythm |
| 00:12.06 | Cae | eh.. |
| 00:14.06 | Cae | hmm. I think my brain has almost hit maximum for how long I can study physics. |
| 00:14.09 | kergoth | thats the ones i'm looking at as we speak |
| 00:14.10 | kergoth | how are they? |
| 00:14.27 | scanline | I have the XC4010 board and the one with the spartan II (XCS-200 I think) |
| 00:14.41 | scanline | the old XC40 board is good for being old. The XCS-200 board is pretty spiffy |
| 00:14.54 | scanline | best part about it is having lots of integrated peripherals, like VGA, DRAM, and flash |
| 00:15.21 | scanline | some annoyances are a lot of shared I/O pins between peripherals, and the downloading software is sometimes finicky |
| 00:15.35 | kergoth | share i/o pins, multiplexing? |
| 00:15.50 | hardwire | yay |
| 00:15.52 | hardwire | very fun stuff |
| 00:15.54 | scanline | they just hook several peripherals up to the same I/O pins, so you can't use them at the same time |
| 00:16.08 | scanline | like they might put the PS/2 port and the LED display on the same pins |
| 00:16.24 | scanline | so whenever you use the PS/2 port you get flashing LEDs for no reason :) |
| 00:16.31 | hardwire | scanline: know what the USB LED Device is under newer 2.6.x kernels? |
| 00:17.00 | scanline | hardwire: it's pretty simple.. IIRC it just provides a sysctl interface for setting LED brightnesses via control requests |
| 00:17.04 | scanline | not sure what hardware works with it |
| 00:17.22 | kergoth | ah |
| 00:17.23 | scanline | hmm, I think I'm just late enough for the meeting now :P |
| 00:17.31 | kergoth | hehe |
| 00:17.41 | hardwire | scanline: yeh.. I was wondering about the hardware ;) |
| 00:19.52 | darth_mall | yay! purple_cow's home |
| 00:21.38 | darth_mall | purple_cow: so there's some hummus for you in the fridge |
| 00:22.32 | purple_cow | hooray |
| 00:32.54 | purple_cow | darth_mall: i love you for getting me hummus ^^ |
| 00:33.26 | darth_mall | you're lucky to have a roommate like me ^^ |
| 00:33.29 | darth_mall | actually, it's a good thing you asked, because I probably would have forgotten that I wanted to get some too |
| 00:35.18 | purple_cow | :) |
| 00:36.27 | file | the hummus has you... |

| 01:03.30 | orchid | hrm, why does a new version of firefox forget all the old firefox's settings, bookmarks, passwds etc :( |
| 01:03.43 | darth_mall | orchid: to make life more interesting |
| 01:04.05 | kergoth | orchid: moved the data to ~/.firefox per the name changes. move ~/.mozilla-firebird to ~/.firefox to get it back |
| 01:04.13 | kergoth | or what have you |
| 01:04.43 | Cae | gentoo I think switches it automatically. that or I'm oblivious. |
| 01:04.52 | kergoth | ah. |
| 01:04.57 | gonkulator | orchid uses debian |
| 01:04.59 | kergoth | debian has them still living side by side. |
| 01:05.06 | kergoth | so i have moz, firebird, and firefox installed |
| 01:05.09 | kergoth | for whatever twisted reason |
| 01:05.10 | Cae | heh |
| 01:05.11 | orchid | yeah, i forgot to back anything up before I apt-got |
| 01:05.26 | kergoth | apt didnt wipe your data. just rename the dir |
| 01:05.36 | Cae | whoa.. |
| 01:05.41 | Cae | ice skating to pink floyd |

| 01:06.50 | Cae | yeah |
| 01:07.40 | kergoth | bout to drop another $120 on two books. sigh. |
| 01:09.09 | kergoth | the sad thing is, how few of these extremely expensive books i ever end up finding the time to read. |
| 01:09.13 | kergoth | :) |
| 01:09.19 | Cae | true |
| 01:09.35 | kergoth | like the art of computer programming. pricey as hell. i think i read 20 pages. |
| 01:09.45 | kergoth | course those are pretty ponderous volumes, but even so |
| 01:12.38 | Cae | go home :P |
