| 04:36.11 | scanlime | not a bad potato.. though these cooking times have been really unpredictable |
| 04:36.37 | scanlime | that was a relatively small potato, and 1:30 was enough to mostly cook it but the middle was still kinda crunchy |
| 04:36.37 | scrumptious | nuke it again? |
| 04:37.10 | scanlime | I ended up cutting it into smaller pieces, adding the cheese and onion and such, then nuking it for a couple minutes |
| 04:37.24 | scrumptious | good idea, given the time I remember the last one taking |

| 06:43.43 | ChipX86 | kergoth: the movie would be a big puzzle, but in the end, all the pieces would come together |

| 19:53.53 | purple_cow | aw |
| 19:53.59 | file[laptop] | ah Toronto... I know Pearson pretty well |
| 19:54.30 | numist | hehe me too |
| 19:54.50 | numist | ok, Ima go find my gate and then crash for a while.. be right back once Ive gotten there |
| 19:55.18 | file[laptop] | bleh test |
| 19:59.29 | numist | there is a severe lack of electrical outlets in this airport |
| 19:59.34 | file[laptop] | yeah |
| 19:59.55 | file[laptop] | all the airports I've been to are always like that sadly |
| 20:00.04 | file[laptop] | I found one hidden behind a plant once though |
| 20:00.10 | scanlime | numist: which concourse are you in? |
| 20:00.15 | numist | but, theres no one at my gate (3 hours to departure) so I have made the most of my position |
| 20:00.19 | numist | scanlime: B |
| 20:00.22 | numist | not the new one |
| 20:00.34 | scanlime | ah. B is the big one with lots of stuff... |
| 20:00.47 | scanlime | if you want a really quiet place to hang out, go to concourse C and take the elevator up to the level above the gates |
| 20:00.53 | scanlime | er, escalator |
| 20:01.00 | numist | its funny... Ive flown through here a lot, and I used to live here too... and the thing that I remember from this airport isnt the new concourse, the dinosaur skeleton, or any of that stuff.. its having my shoes polished with a blowtorch |
| 20:01.11 | scanlime | haha |
| 20:01.19 | file[laptop] | well that's interesting |
| 20:01.20 | numist | concourse C, eh? Ill check it out when I forage for food |
| 20:01.30 | numist | yeah, Ive never had my shoes polished with fire before |
| 20:01.43 | numist | no one in san diego believes me either |
| 20:01.51 | numist | hey, good call |
| 20:02.01 | scanlime | my old roommate used to polish his shoes with a lighter all the time |
| 20:02.15 | numist | so Ill hit TCBY and go to the view deck, and itll be like scanlime is with me :D |
| 20:02.22 | scanlime | :) |
| 20:02.39 | scanlime | are you on 802.11? |
| 20:02.50 | numist | I am not paying for that thank you much |
| 20:02.54 | scanlime | GPRS? |
| 20:03.03 | numist | Im destroying the battery on my cell since itll be useless in canada anyway |
| 20:03.09 | scanlime | hehe, yay.. |
| 20:03.14 | file[laptop] | useless in Canada? we're not that primitive |
| 20:03.16 | numist | its actually pretty snappy |
| 20:03.37 | numist | file[laptop]: ok, itll be useful if I want to spend my life savings (not much, I'll admit) on a 3 minute phone call |
| 20:03.51 | file[laptop] | yeah roaming sucks :( |
| 20:03.56 | numist | yep |
| 20:04.07 | numist | I plan on getting a SIM based phone for traveling |
| 20:04.08 | kergoth | scanlime: oh, the one thing with my phone.. its gsm, triband, but doesnt support that one us/canada specific gsm frequency, since you're importing it. so itll be really useful if you bring it to europe, but for cingular for exmaple, you'll only have access to part of its network |
| 20:04.10 | darth_mall | wow... this kid's a gangster. You can tell because he keeps talking about thousands of dollars as "g's" |
| 20:04.12 | numist | just fly somewhere, buy a prepaid sim |
| 20:04.20 | file[laptop] | kergoth: 850MHz |
| 20:04.24 | kergoth | thats the one |
| 20:04.43 | numist | whats all the cell naming mean? |
| 20:04.45 | kergoth | i'm quite happy with t-mobile though |
| 20:04.45 | file[laptop] | if it's being used on T-Mobile like scanlime has, won't matter - T-Mobile is only 1900MHz |
| 20:04.47 | numist | like.. I have 3G CDMA |
| 20:04.53 | numist | it means that my phone works, and thats all I know |
| 20:04.54 | file[laptop] | numist: third generation |
| 20:05.06 | numist | right |
| 20:05.18 | kergoth | whats the C in cdma mean? iirc tdma is time division multiplexed, but i cant remember what hte other one is |
| 20:05.20 | scanlime | kergoth: I'm on t-mobile |
| 20:05.23 | numist | darth_mall: next he'll tell you how many c-notes he spent on his ride |
| 20:05.23 | file[laptop] | kergoth: code |
| 20:05.25 | kergoth | ah |
| 20:05.30 | scanlime | kergoth: but I might end up switching if it turns out my service sucks even with a good phone |
| 20:05.41 | file[laptop] | everything broadcasts at the same time, but each has a specific code |
| 20:05.57 | scanlime | you sure that isn't "carrier"? |
| 20:06.16 | scanlime | k |
| 20:06.52 | file[laptop] | tdma uses time slots to divide the available range between people |
| 20:07.04 | scanlime | right... |
| 20:07.14 | numist | code as in channel then |
| 20:07.19 | file[laptop] | http://www.arcx.com/sites/CDMAvsTDMA.htm |
| 20:07.36 | file[laptop] | fun read |
| 20:08.16 | kergoth | used in T1/T3/E1/E3 too, iirc, for how content is distributed across the channels |
| 20:08.18 | file[laptop] | and then GSM is a newer TDMA... and then iDEN is a variation of GSM |
| 20:08.47 | scanlime | kergoth: it's extremely common.. wireless USB uses it :) |
| 20:08.53 | kergoth | hehe, cool |
| 20:09.01 | file[laptop] | I wish iDEN was more commonly deployed |
| 20:09.37 | numist | wow, celly internet is much more snappy here than it was in san diego |
| 20:10.05 | file[laptop] | yay numist |
| 20:10.44 | numist | so I just got a great idea from my sister |
| 20:10.52 | numist | and I'm going to do it in 2 weeks when I visit Carrie |
| 20:11.25 | numist | 5 star dinner on the beacdh |
| 20:11.25 | file[laptop] | kergoth: I think it involves a toaster. |
| 20:11.34 | numist | it may involve a toaster |
| 20:11.38 | numist | gotta keep the food warm in transit |
| 20:11.53 | file[laptop] | use one of those... carrier bags that are insulated... |
| 20:12.06 | numist | two then... cold stuff too |
| 20:12.13 | file[laptop] | exactly! |
| 20:13.22 | numist | and music... hmm |
| 20:13.56 | file[laptop] | oh great, a special on getting cancer from X-Rays... that makes me feel great about when I broke my arm |
| 20:14.11 | scanlime | aw.. I feel bad now |
| 20:14.13 | numist | you can get cancer from breathing... doesnt mean breathing is any less good for you |
| 20:14.21 | numist | scanlime: why? |
| 20:14.24 | scanlime | I found a pretty serious bug caused by some code that one of our new guys committed |
| 20:14.28 | scanlime | now he's backing it out |
| 20:14.37 | file[laptop] | scanlime: had to be found. |
| 20:14.41 | numist | hey, its better than a customer finding the bug |
| 20:14.47 | darth_mall | arg |
| 20:14.53 | scanlime | yeah |
| 20:15.22 | darth_mall | doing this algorithm for connect four is proving more difficult than I originally thought |
| 20:16.03 | numist | connect four can be simplified to an algorithm? |
| 20:16.08 | numist | guess I can stop playing then |
| 20:21.05 | numist | yay, now I dont have to go to tcby |
| 20:25.32 | numist | my sister is a city riot after a police beating... I cant wait toget to toronto |
| 20:25.38 | numist | http://numist.net/gallery/v/IMArt/_lauren_danny+as+a+fish+in+a+toaster.png.html |
| 20:25.44 | numist | that is her fault^ |
| 20:26.01 | file[laptop] | right. |
| 20:27.10 | numist | earthquake? the councourse shuddered |
| 20:27.16 | numist | no wait.. Im in CO... |
| 20:27.29 | file[laptop] | numist: part of the world exploded naturally |
| 20:27.37 | numist | sweet |
| 20:28.06 | numist | Im sitting next to a tornado shelter, so I guess I'm all set |
| 20:30.29 | numist | ok, I have 2/3 batt left.. Im going to save it and forage for food |
| 20:30.49 | numist | see you from toronto |
| 20:30.56 | scanlime | have a good flight |
| 20:31.12 | numist | :) |
| 20:31.40 | file[laptop] | don't crash! |
| 20:58.20 | hardwire | so |
| 20:58.34 | hardwire | qemus kernel module gives it impressive speed boostings |
| 20:58.52 | hardwire | and the user network finally works |

| 21:02.57 | hardwire | kergoth: dunno if you just like esplodey pythons.. but there has been another sly little tree snake from guam that is highly eco unfriendly outside of its own territory.. |

| 21:03.58 | kergoth | huh |

| 21:32.20 | file[laptop] | pagefault! |
| 21:32.39 | pagefault | hey |
| 21:33.05 | file[laptop] | wazzup |
| 21:33.17 | pagefault | not much |
| 21:33.18 | pagefault | just got home |
| 21:33.19 | pagefault | relaxing |
| 21:33.25 | file[laptop] | nifty |
| 21:33.30 | hardwire | I wish I was at home.. relaxing |
| 21:33.34 | hardwire | you freaking slack ass |
| 21:33.45 | hardwire | I almost called in sick today.. due to obvious attitude reasons. |
| 21:34.02 | scanlime | hardwire: you're the one using qemu.. masochist |
| 21:34.13 | hardwire | its free |
| 21:34.18 | hardwire | you know the song.. now sing it. |
| 21:34.46 | hardwire | it is painfully slow.. but that kernel module helped out quite a bit |
| 21:37.24 | hardwire | the user-net option is quite neat |
| 21:37.27 | scanlime | heh |
| 21:37.29 | hardwire | for quickie testing |
| 21:37.37 | scanlime | what is this user-net option? |
| 21:37.47 | hardwire | it makes a virtual network for the program |
| 21:37.57 | hardwire | and handles all the tcp outbound as a masqueraded setup |
| 21:38.01 | scanlime | ok... |
| 21:38.02 | hardwire | as well as does dns serving |
| 21:38.05 | hardwire | and dhcp |
| 21:38.11 | scanlime | that's something vmware has had for like... 7 years? |
| 21:38.15 | hardwire | just all those services w/in the qemu binary |
| 21:38.26 | hardwire | scanlime: I am sure it has.. I haven't been using vmware much |
| 21:38.41 | hardwire | I had a pirated licence for it a while ago.. but I just felt bad |
| 21:38.44 | hardwire | so I quit using it |
| 21:38.50 | kergoth | i need to play with qemu for running arm binaries |
| 21:38.54 | scanlime | qemu will make you feel worse :P |
| 21:38.54 | hardwire | cause I respect it |
| 21:38.55 | kergoth | one of these days |
| 21:39.01 | hardwire | RESPECT SCANLIME! |
| 21:39.10 | scanlime | screw respect |
| 21:39.14 | hardwire | kergoth: a friend failed at installing YDL on qemu-system-ppc |
| 21:39.25 | hardwire | I dunno how well arm support will work |
| 21:39.32 | hardwire | but it does sound fun doesn't it |
| 21:39.38 | kergoth | it works well for the scratchbox folks |
| 21:39.43 | hardwire | spiff |
| 21:40.07 | kergoth | when ./configure tries to run an arm binary it just compiled, scratchbox catches it via binvmt_misc and passes it off to qemu |
| 21:40.11 | kergoth | then gets the results from that |
| 21:40.12 | hardwire | heh |
| 21:42.02 | purple_cow | stupid nose3 |
| 21:42.03 | scanlime | hardwire: what's the last version of vmware workstation you've used? It's become incredibly spiffy lately |
| 21:42.11 | hardwire | 4.something |
| 21:42.17 | hardwire | lets say a year ago |
| 21:42.22 | hardwire | I should trial it again I suppose |
| 21:42.25 | scanlime | heh |
| 21:42.29 | hardwire | can I not have it do vmnet modules? |
| 21:42.29 | scanlime | it's in public beta right now |
| 21:42.31 | scanlime | just grab that |
| 21:42.34 | hardwire | well link me up fool |
| 21:42.40 | scanlime | it's on the web site, fool |
| 21:42.45 | scanlime | vmware.com |
| 21:42.49 | hardwire | what if I would feel better if you did it.. fool. |
| 21:42.52 | scanlime | wrap your brain around that URL, in its convoluted glory |
| 21:43.07 | hardwire | enough of this Mr. T shit |

| 21:44.24 | scanlime | hardwire: how about free beer at work on a workday? :P |
| 21:44.33 | kergoth | scanlime: i hate you |
| 21:44.43 | hardwire | scanlime: that would rock ass |
| 21:44.59 | hardwire | and I don't mean rock salt from the end of a shotgun while running away from a tipped over cow. |
| 21:46.20 | scanlime | uh oh.. Chris thinks I'm qualified to handle any USB bugs now. He'll probably start giving me the really nasty ones soon |
| 21:46.51 | pagefault | I think workplaces should have a free beer friday |
| 21:46.53 | pagefault | like just a pint |
| 21:46.59 | pagefault | I think that would make people happier |

| 21:55.01 | scanlime | yes |
| 21:55.02 | pagefault | everyone stole it from NESticle |
| 21:55.12 | pagefault | re emu record/playback |
| 21:55.18 | scanlime | pagefault: ... |
| 21:55.28 | scanlime | pagefault: everyone stole it from jetstream |
| 21:55.32 | hardwire | yeh |
| 21:55.35 | hardwire | I remember jetstream |
| 21:55.40 | pagefault | jetstream? |
| 21:55.44 | hardwire | thats what I sorta figured it came from |
| 21:57.31 | scanlime | hehe |
| 21:57.53 | hardwire | you gotta hand it to qemu |
| 21:57.55 | hardwire | doing a lot with nothing |
| 21:57.58 | scanlime | while I'd love to claim responsibility for that, movie recording happened way before Is tarted working here ;) |
| 21:58.14 | hardwire | scanlime: but as png snapshots right? |
| 21:58.18 | hardwire | or jpeg.. what have you |
| 21:58.25 | scanlime | ? |
| 21:58.29 | scanlime | it records .avi fiels |
| 21:58.31 | scanlime | er, files |
| 21:58.35 | scanlime | using a VNC-based encoder |
| 21:58.59 | hardwire | I was just about to say |
| 21:59.04 | hardwire | I remember VNC can record RFB :) |
| 21:59.13 | scanlime | recording full frames would be way beyond prohibitively slow |
| 21:59.23 | scanlime | eh.. it isn't VNC. It's a video coded based on the VNC protocol |
| 21:59.29 | scanlime | s/coded/codec/ |
| 21:59.31 | hardwire | however since you can slow the machine.. you could have it look much neater at the end :) |
| 21:59.39 | scanlime | heheh |
| 21:59.40 | pagefault | holy crap |
| 21:59.46 | pagefault | this new FSAA algorithm is amazing |

| 22:00.01 | hardwire | is that in your precious beer? |
| 22:00.06 | pagefault | no |
| 22:00.09 | pagefault | it's a driver tweak |
| 22:00.21 | pagefault | but everything is so perfect looking |

| 22:00.43 | pagefault | heh |
| 22:00.54 | kergoth | pagefault: heh. reminds me of being drunk in wow |
| 22:01.10 | pagefault | hehe yeah |
| 22:01.12 | kergoth | pagefault: did you know that being drunk in game affects your perceptions of enemy player levels? |
| 22:01.14 | pagefault | being drunk is nothing like that |
| 22:01.18 | hardwire | http://www.nvnews.net/articles/fsaa/page_2.shtml |
| 22:01.23 | pagefault | kergoth, really? |
| 22:01.26 | kergoth | beer muscles. it looks like the enemies are lower than they are |
| 22:01.28 | pagefault | so it isn't all eyecandy after all |
| 22:01.29 | kergoth | we did bg drunk once |
| 22:01.39 | kergoth | and we're all.. what the fuck are all these level 17s doing here |
| 22:01.41 | kergoth | :) |
| 22:01.44 | pagefault | I want it to make you miss more |
| 22:01.46 | pagefault | or cast the wrong spells |
| 22:01.49 | pagefault | funny stuff |
| 22:01.51 | kergoth | haha yeah, thatd be cool |
| 22:01.57 | kergoth | i was impressed that it affected level perception though |
| 22:02.00 | kergoth | i didnt expect that |
| 22:02.09 | hardwire | kergoth: haha |
| 22:02.12 | scanlime | that's cute |
| 22:02.34 | hardwire | heh.. |
| 22:02.46 | kergoth | pagefault: have you seen this item.. http://kergoth.com/images/screenshots/WOW/wow_sshot57.jpg |
| 22:02.55 | hardwire | so the openpbx folks tied a manager based bot into a voip conference.. and the bot announces who is talking to the IRC channel |
| 22:02.58 | kergoth | pagefault: someone linked it one day.. but now if i link it, the server disconnects me. guess they removed it :( |
| 22:03.07 | hardwire | but.. nobody is talking on the channel |
| 22:03.16 | hardwire | and yet lines are scrolling by like mad |
| 22:03.28 | hardwire | thats how voip really takes over a channel |
| 22:04.56 | pagefault | damnit |
| 22:04.57 | pagefault | nice mace |
| 22:05.11 | pagefault | I prefer epic stuff with stats though |
| 22:05.13 | kergoth | oh, thats the one i'm using. its perfect for an enhancement shammy |
| 22:05.22 | kergoth | that sword is a 1h with the damage of a 2h |
| 22:05.29 | pagefault | there is an epic wand I want |
| 22:05.32 | pagefault | it's amazing |
| 22:05.35 | pagefault | 80dps |
| 22:05.41 | kergoth | wow |
| 22:06.03 | pagefault | yeah it's extremely rare though |
| 22:06.14 | kergoth | considering i get flurry on crit and windfury often, weapons with a chance to proc are a very good thing |
| 22:06.41 | purple_cow | goddamn nose |
| 22:06.42 | pagefault | yeah |
| 22:06.46 | pagefault | if I didn't use a staff |
| 22:06.52 | pagefault | I would use inventors focal sword |
| 22:07.03 | pagefault | crit chance on spells |
| 22:07.07 | kergoth | nice |
| 22:07.27 | pagefault | I like the +27 stam staff |
| 22:07.29 | kergoth | i like the swing rate of this mace. at a speed of 2.3 sec, its nearly as fast as my 1h |
| 22:07.30 | pagefault | so it's hard to give up |
| 22:07.31 | pagefault | hehe |
| 22:09.07 | hardwire | damn. |
| 22:09.47 | hardwire | how lossy is the movie recordings in vmware? |
| 22:09.52 | kergoth | pagefault: i'm thinking about making an alt that i'll actually play. leaning towards an arcane/frost spell crit spec'd undead mage |
| 22:10.02 | purple_cow | whoa... |
| 22:10.08 | purple_cow | scanlime's mom posted a comment on my blog |
| 22:10.10 | hardwire | it sounds block updated.. which is fine.. but hows it placed intoa transport stream |
| 22:10.28 | hardwire | purple_cow: "Wretched youngling thats a bad influence on my pretty little son!!" |
| 22:10.32 | hardwire | something like that? |
| 22:10.35 | darth_mall | purple_cow: haha cool |
| 22:10.46 | pagefault | yeah I am looking into making an alt druid |
| 22:10.57 | pagefault | with the talent overhaul it looks nice now |
| 22:10.59 | purple_cow | no |
| 22:11.01 | kergoth | pagefault: the 1.8 druid changes look really nice.. |
| 22:11.01 | kergoth | yeah |
| 22:11.06 | purple_cow | she said zak's pizza looked tasty |
| 22:11.13 | hardwire | mmm |
| 22:11.14 | hardwire | pizza |
| 22:11.21 | pagefault | I like the warlock changes in 1.8 |
| 22:11.24 | kergoth | i want pizza and beer. |
| 22:11.25 | hardwire | I have tortellini here.. thats about as italian as I am getting today. |
| 22:11.26 | pagefault | death coil 3 minute cooldown |
| 22:11.27 | pagefault | yay |
| 22:11.32 | hardwire | kergoth: :( |
| 22:11.43 | hardwire | kergoth: gourmet beer and pizza while watching a movie |
| 22:11.48 | hardwire | bear tooth theatre pub |
| 22:11.49 | kergoth | mm |
| 22:11.54 | pagefault | warlock class is like the best non healer healer |
| 22:11.54 | hardwire | I really want to go now |
| 22:11.57 | pagefault | if that makes sense |
| 22:12.05 | hardwire | we saw "The Island" there last |
| 22:12.06 | pagefault | he can heal himself the best without using any healing spells |
| 22:12.06 | pagefault | :P |
| 22:12.15 | hardwire | man.. THX 1138 and Logans Run had a child.. and it was that movie |
| 22:12.24 | kergoth | pagefault: better than a shadow spec'd priest's vampiric embrace? |
| 22:12.31 | pagefault | oh for sure |
| 22:12.34 | kergoth | cool |
| 22:12.44 | pagefault | esp if you spec into improved life drain |
| 22:12.48 | pagefault | and healthstone |
| 22:13.16 | kergoth | i always get paranoid when the lock in my group downs his health to boost his mana when we rest. i know i shouldnt, but i do anyway |
| 22:13.22 | pagefault | plus having the soulstone is almost like having an extra life |
| 22:13.42 | pagefault | nah I do that too |
| 22:13.50 | pagefault | locks need tons of stamina for life tap |
| 22:13.55 | pagefault | but now with dark pact I just drain my pet |
| 22:14.07 | pagefault | I almost never need drinks |
| 22:14.07 | kergoth | nice |
| 22:14.22 | pagefault | imp is perfect in passive mode |
| 22:14.29 | pagefault | can't be attacked |
| 22:14.31 | pagefault | and offers a buff |
| 22:14.36 | pagefault | a perfect mana battery |
| 22:18.42 | hardwire | go vmware go |
| 22:20.28 | kergoth | http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/7996 |
| 22:21.14 | purple_cow | i think the child would be silent running ;) |
| 22:21.51 | scanlime | hehe |
| 22:22.15 | darth_mall | heh |
| 22:24.08 | purple_cow | huh |
| 22:24.12 | hardwire | However, have you seen The Island yet? |
| 22:25.00 | hardwire | ok this is weird |
| 22:25.05 | purple_cow | i think the instrumentation for 'headphones' on post live is mostly traditional indian |
| 22:25.08 | hardwire | running TigerX86 in vmware is just odd |
| 22:25.33 | scanlime | heh |
| 22:26.03 | hardwire | I wish I could remove the mouse |
| 22:26.21 | scanlime | remove the mouse? |
| 22:26.21 | scanlime | why? |
| 22:26.35 | scanlime | you mean turn off the emulated PS/2 device entirely? |
| 22:26.40 | hardwire | yeh |
| 22:26.44 | scanlime | why? |
| 22:26.48 | hardwire | why not? |
| 22:26.55 | hardwire | free up irq 12 |
| 22:27.01 | hardwire | I know that doesn't sound like you would need to |
| 22:27.06 | hardwire | on a machine that doesn't have a pci bus |
| 22:27.11 | hardwire | but its just a force of habit |
| 22:27.18 | scanlime | um..yeah.. |
| 22:27.44 | hardwire | it doesn't exist.. so should I feel pain? |
| 22:28.02 | scanlime | hardwire: I've got a lot of source code here that says it does exist |
| 22:28.31 | hardwire | I am sure it does in the code.. |
| 22:28.44 | hardwire | it just doesn't.. exist.. much like the mouse I would not be using. |
| 22:28.58 | hardwire | its a virtual pci bus.. yoo.. |
| 22:29.23 | hardwire | that probably lack a lot of issues a real pci bus has.. when you say.. plug things into it. |
| 22:30.09 | scanlime | you'd be surprised how similar the virtual devices have to be to real ones |
| 22:30.19 | hardwire | they are supposed to be similar.. its how it works. |
| 22:30.33 | scanlime | so I don't understand what you're saying |
| 22:30.50 | hardwire | :) |
| 22:31.01 | hardwire | don't let me be a source of frustation for you today |
| 22:31.06 | scanlime | too late! |
| 22:31.14 | scanlime | actually, today's going pretty well... |
| 22:31.18 | scanlime | making good progress on this bug, I think |
| 22:31.18 | hardwire | infact.. lets do some metaphysical reflection practice |
| 22:31.26 | hardwire | which I am supposed to be doing today |
| 22:31.38 | hardwire | metaphysical imagery to help me cope with stress |
| 22:31.52 | hardwire | for instance.. a very effective image supposedly is surrounding myself in a large white spring. |
| 22:32.04 | hardwire | or.. a large violet sphere |
| 22:32.30 | hardwire | when I was hearing this of course.. I upset the person telling my this by being too literal. and wondered how the imagery is to work if no light comes in. |
| 22:32.36 | hardwire | but oh well |
| 22:33.45 | darth_mall | yikes |
| 22:33.49 | darth_mall | biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig crash |
| 22:34.33 | purple_cow | raise your hand if you were irritated at all the google shirts today |
| 22:35.24 | purple_cow | you didn't? they were everywhere |
| 22:35.42 | purple_cow | also |
| 22:35.48 | purple_cow | i hate those fuzzy boot things |
| 22:35.53 | darth_mall | hehehe |
| 22:36.51 | hardwire | I need it to just take a snapshot every few seconds |
| 22:38.48 | darth_mall | yay! my alpha-beta pruning isn't working... |
| 22:40.11 | kergoth | sigh |
| 22:44.14 | scanlime | blah |
| 22:44.28 | scanlime | these 50MB logfiles don't take long to analyze, but they sure copy slowly from my windows machine to the NFS server |
| 22:47.47 | hardwire | scanlime: the VMnc driver.. can the linux library that works with w32codecs use it? |
| 22:48.04 | scanlime | VMnc? |
| 22:48.10 | scanlime | oh, the movie thingy |
| 22:48.13 | scanlime | I have no ideea |
| 22:48.50 | scanlime | I know mplayer support or something for our movie codec is on the todo list, but I have no idea if anyone is actually working on that |
| 22:49.22 | pagefault | mmm |
| 22:49.26 | pagefault | food |
| 22:51.34 | hardwire | I will just use xwd ona usleep for the time being |
| 22:52.30 | scanlime | heh, ick |
| 22:52.42 | hardwire | cheap |
| 22:52.44 | hardwire | effective |
| 22:52.47 | scanlime | it shouldn't be hard to reverse engineer the movie format, if it hasn't been done already |
| 22:52.56 | scanlime | if by 'effective' you mean 'extremely slow' |
| 22:53.15 | hardwire | if by extremely slow you mean faster than "import" |
| 22:53.26 | scanlime | that's not saying much |
| 22:53.40 | hardwire | xwd captures and stores hundreds of times faster than import to miff |
| 22:53.45 | hardwire | so it is saying much |
| 22:53.54 | darth_mall | guh |
| 22:54.01 | darth_mall | I can't even make the stupid algorithm work |
| 22:54.04 | scanlime | hardwire: you still have to copy and store the entire screen |
| 22:54.08 | hardwire | and converting the movie to a series of images.. on a windows box that doesn't exist is a lot slower than doing it this way |
| 22:54.16 | hardwire | scanlime: doing it by window id |
| 22:54.29 | scanlime | by 'screen' I mean the guest OS's screen |
| 22:54.41 | hardwire | thats what I intended to do |
| 22:55.01 | scanlime | why? the whole reason we use a VNC-based codec is so we can avoid storing all that data |
| 22:55.06 | scanlime | it just stores the areas of the screen that change |
| 22:55.20 | hardwire | indeed. |
| 22:55.25 | hardwire | but it doesn't work for me right now |
| 22:55.36 | hardwire | otherwise I would be happy to use it |
| 22:55.46 | hardwire | I would quite simply have mplayer working if it did work |
| 22:56.01 | hardwire | and have it capturing to a fifo.. which mplayer plays directly to unique png images |
| 22:56.17 | hardwire | as it recieves frame updates |
| 22:56.29 | scanlime | why do you want to end up with individual png images anyway? |
| 22:56.35 | hardwire | documenting os installs |
| 22:56.50 | hardwire | trying to generate documentation on our companies policy on server design |
| 22:56.57 | scanlime | heh... so you're hand-picking frames you want afterwards? |
| 22:57.03 | scanlime | or are you documenting it with movies? |
| 22:57.27 | hardwire | if it were going out to pngs.. I would use an image explorer to pick them out as I need them |
| 22:57.39 | hardwire | not a huge issue concidering I know how the install went so I know what frames I need |
| 22:58.12 | hardwire | run it through a cropper after picking them out to remove vmware |
| 22:58.17 | hardwire | still quicker than using qemu |
| 22:58.29 | hardwire | even though qemu makes the guest screen its own window |
| 22:58.46 | scanlime | if you really just need screenshots, why not tell vmware to take screenshots instead of movies? |
| 22:58.58 | hardwire | I need to take a lot of them |
| 22:59.11 | hardwire | I don't want to give each one a unique timestamp with a .png at the end |
| 22:59.14 | hardwire | by hand |
| 22:59.21 | darth_mall | I fucking hate school |
| 22:59.37 | hardwire | and at this point I am not taking movies.. I am taking screenshots via xwd :) |

| 23:20.12 | hardwire | bbl |
| 23:20.47 | hardwire | I could probably just run vmware inside an rfb and use a vnc recorder |
| 23:20.49 | hardwire | but oh well |
| 23:33.06 | purple_cow | yay for gmail auto-save |
| 23:33.45 | darth_mall | indeed |
| 23:43.09 | darth_mall | heh |
| 23:43.13 | darth_mall | I should review those tonight |
| 23:43.55 | scanlime | woo |
| 23:44.03 | scanlime | chris and I just had a really spiffy little debug session |
| 23:44.26 | scanlime | I think this is going to result in a usb.iLikeRaceConditions flag |
| 23:44.45 | darth_mall | sweet |
| 23:44.50 | darth_mall | I like race conditions =D |
| 23:45.53 | scanlime | I tracked down this problem to a driver that expects these two packets to complete in a very specific order |
| 23:46.05 | darth_mall | as it should be |
| 23:46.06 | scanlime | it turned out that sometimes this happened, but sometimes they completed during the exact same USB frame |
| 23:46.13 | darth_mall | excellent |
| 23:46.20 | darth_mall | it makes using a computer interesting and exciting |
| 23:46.22 | scanlime | race condition in the driver |
| 23:53.07 | purple_cow | slimspace: i've only got one |
| 23:53.33 | slimspace | you are darth_mall have both gotten one, but I haven't yet. Just wondering if there's a particular reason |
| 23:54.31 | purple_cow | i think they're pretty behind on reviews |
| 23:54.42 | slimspace | yeah, that's the impression I've been getting |
| 23:56.33 | darth_mall | slimspace: you can always e-mail the TA to let them know you're concerned. Make sure that it's that they haven't finished the doc yet, rather than that they've forgotten you |
| 23:56.56 | slimspace | nod |
