02:57:09travis|afkhi
03:06:24[57th]cnealhey
03:06:30[57th]cneal:D
03:56:10travis|afkBake, you around
03:58:35[57th]cnealHey
03:58:42travis|afkhowdy
03:58:43[57th]cnealSo whos Zypheus?
03:59:49travis|afknot quite sure, but i recall him emailing me before...
03:59:59travis|afkthat would be great if everything worked out good though
04:00:16[57th]cnealIs he a company?
04:00:25travis|afki dont think a person can be a company....
04:00:29travis|afk=P
04:00:39[57th]cnealHe sounds like he has a lot of money
04:00:51[57th]cnealOh
04:01:13travis|afkor access to a lot of money, and he obviously has done research on us
04:01:26[57th]cnealWe could use his money
04:01:46travis|afkyes, i forsee a few things that money could goto
04:02:28[57th]cnealWe could like have a huge party in the middle of the united states. That would be cool
04:02:28travis|afklike some dev/prototype units and a mold for cases
04:03:01[57th]cnealand bring in followers
04:03:10[57th]cnealYou know what I was thinking
04:03:14travis|afk?
04:03:31[57th]cnealis a big tuxbox flag with a picture of the tuxbox on it
04:03:45travis|afkto put where?
04:05:36[57th]cnealLike get twenty of them and have them planted around places
04:05:36[57th]cneala few here and there
04:05:36[57th]cnealPeople would be like, holy cow! What the heck is a tuxbox? I gotta check them out
04:05:53[57th]cnealIt sounds like tho if we accept money etc, then we have to let them make choices that we may or may not agree for the tuxbox
04:07:14[57th]cnealput where??
04:07:39travis|afkbrb
04:07:59[57th]cnealoh the flags, umm schools maybe
04:08:30[57th]cnealM$ has a flag on our school now :\
04:09:07SavageOnehello all
04:09:15travis|afkhello
04:09:17[57th]cnealhi
04:09:30SavageOnetravis: there you are, :)
04:09:45SavageOneI told you I'd stroll on in here at some point
04:09:51SavageOnesejin.com
04:09:53SavageOnenice keyboards
04:10:08SavageOnethey are the manufacturer that makes the keyboards for phillip's magnavox, web tv
04:10:38travis|afkwireless i assume
04:10:44SavageOneyep
04:10:51SavageOnethey have about 15 different versions
04:10:55SavageOneand they're all custom
04:11:01SavageOneI have some bulk pricing info if you'd like
04:11:13SavageOneit turns out for the good one to be around $45 a piece in boxes of 10
04:11:27SavageOnebut that's with the wireless reciever, and a spillproof keyboard w/ onboard mouse
04:11:28SavageOnenow
04:11:36SavageOnethey have one w/ an onboard universal tv remote
04:11:46SavageOnebut they're still perfecting that
04:11:50SavageOneso I wouldn't recommend it
04:12:00travis|afkyeah probably not
04:12:01[57th]cnealfor tuxbox?
04:12:11SavageOneI'm using it for a web tv type system
04:12:19SavageOneand I'm probably going to use your os, hehe
04:12:30SavageOnetravis:  now, there is an iso on sourceforge right?
04:12:34SavageOnehow's the install?
04:12:57travis|afki think that is a very old version
04:13:22SavageOnecan I get something up to date?
04:13:34SavageOneI'd like to join the gui design group if possible too, after I havea  look
04:13:45travis|afkBakemono has the most recent OS
04:13:49SavageOneI got some guys down here that are willing to help out, as long as we can mutually benefit
04:15:17SavageOnehe's away now
04:15:26SavageOneis the installation gui'd? similar to redhat 7.2s?
04:15:33SavageOneI'm bad w/ installs, hehe
04:15:45SavageOnetoo much 9x will do that to a guy
04:16:10travis|afkno the install isnt graphical yet
04:16:17travis|afkit is just a cootable cd at this point
04:16:21SavageOneis it easy?
04:17:08[57th]cnealIts r33t
04:17:35[57th]cnealIts a gaming console
04:17:43[57th]cneal:)
04:18:10[57th]cnealor...it will be a gaming console
04:18:16SavageOneIT'S R33T? what's that supposed to me
04:18:32[57th]cnealSorry, code stuff
04:18:35SavageOneI just want to get it on a box so I can fiddle around
04:18:45SavageOnethis backwards e stuff is strange
04:18:47[57th]cnealOk
04:18:53travis|afkwhat type of video card you using?
04:18:56SavageOneI've been on irc for like 13 years, and I still don't understand it
04:19:08[57th]cnealYeah, new code stuff
04:19:10SavageOneright now Im on an 8mb ati xpert, but I'm also in win2k
04:19:26SavageOnebut the box I'll test it on will probably be some cheapo onboard
04:19:28travis|afki mean your system you want the TBos on
04:19:39SavageOnewell
04:19:52SavageOneI'm probably going to be using a system similar to that gmax one from directron
04:19:56SavageOnethis one is from MSI
04:20:10SavageOneI want to make a custom chassis, some kind of 1u flex atx thing
04:20:28SavageOnebut for now, this msi barebones has the board in an upright case the size of a ps2
04:20:32SavageOneplaystation 2 that is
04:21:57SavageOneI want to add instant messanging support too
04:23:00SavageOneI have a picture of the case if anyone wants me to dcc raise your hand...
04:23:16SavageOneFCPGA Tualatin, PIII & Celeron up to 866MHz and higher. Intel 815E chipset, LPX form factor. 133MHz FSB, Integrated Audio (GMCH). Front located USB ports x 2, Audio ports x 3, Infrared Window. TV- out function with s/av connectors.

15:31:31zwampyhi coolman
15:31:35CoolManhey
15:31:39CoolMani have great news
15:31:49zwampytell me
15:32:03CoolMani am well on my way to having the controller implemented under Smoke
15:32:03zwampywe have a finanve specialist now
15:32:11zwampyCOOOL!!!!
15:32:30CoolMan"finanve" i don't know this word
15:35:22zwampyfinance
15:35:41CoolManoh, ok
16:21:04travis_143cwBake, cool: need to talk
16:43:04travis_143cwhello
16:51:36Soopamanhi travis
16:51:37Soopamanwhat's up
16:56:44travisnot too much
16:56:49travisjust at work, how about you?
16:58:43travisI just started coding on another TuxBox program...
16:59:01travisrather not for the tuxbox, but the TuxBox network server
16:59:13travisfor online games, chat, etc.
16:59:57travisBut the only thing that everyone is going to trip out about is that I am making it in Visual Basic (keep in mind only one machine has to run this so it isnt a big deal)
17:00:32Soopamanheh
17:00:45Soopamani never understood why you guys always tried to re-invent the wheel
17:05:45traviswell we aren't really
17:07:52Soopamanbut you are wasting alot of time on redundant things
17:10:11traviswhat is redundant?
17:11:12Soopamandoing stuff that has already been done
17:11:22Soopamanie re-creating the wheel
17:11:41traviswhat are we doing that is already done that you are talking about?
17:12:00Soopamanalmost everything
17:12:35Soopamani'm doing the same thing as you guys are, except i am using the xp embedded os, instead of nix
17:13:49travisah, that is your problem...
17:14:01travisWell i am sorry...
17:14:24Soopamanyou don't understand
17:14:32travisSee that is the whole difference right there, you are using a closed source OS
17:14:32Soopamaninstead of writing your chat app
17:14:41travisno it isnt a chat app
17:14:50travisit is more of a battlenet type server
17:15:16Soopamanunless you are writing your own device drivers, there really is no need to use an "open" source os
17:15:29Soopamanor is this just a pride thing
17:16:00Soopamansince you are handling only the software portion, whatever your build it ontop of does't matter
17:16:29traviswe are actually writing some drivers also
17:16:41travisdo you plan on selling these things?
17:16:52Soopamanselling which things?
17:17:02travisyour embedded xp product
17:17:36Soopamanhaven't decided yet, going to see which nt kernel'd os has the lowest licensing cost
17:17:51travislol
17:18:30Soopamanbut that licensing in comparision to my instant software base and familiarity is almost worth it
17:18:41Soopamanbut it's looking at 60 per license
17:19:17travisouch....
17:19:46traviskeep in mind we want to keep the OS open in case we have any issues, plus people like to play with things and they could even help out at their will
17:19:56travisplus $0 licensing fee
17:20:26Soopamani don't understand why you need to keep the os open in case you have any issues?
17:20:49Soopamandrivers will always be drivers
17:22:20Soopamanand what person will want to play with things on the kernel level if you are selling a closed hardware box?
17:22:21travismicrosoft sucks, take it or leave it... we dont need a huge company to depend on (plus they have very faulty products)
17:23:17Soopamanmy only concern is that i just don't really see any direction, which is why i left the ui team a long time ago
17:26:38traviswhat do you need for direction? making an open-source game console with other multimedia capabilities...
17:27:30travisOur UI is doing great by the way
17:27:56Soopamani don't recall asking about the ui, but that's cool
17:28:02Soopamanwhat i mean by direction
17:28:14Soopamanis that a set top box has to satisfy certain requirements
17:28:39Soopamani don't see where you guys outline the requirements you want to meet
17:28:48Soopamannor do you explain how you are to achieve them
17:29:21Soopamanyou also have yet to see what open source alternatives that already exist out there, that could be seamlessly integrated into your program
17:30:03Soopamanie your ui probably has already been done on sourceforge/in a nix app, but have you checked that out fully, or did you just start one from scratch
17:30:45travisIt is our custom UI, and no we are not rewriting everything, we are porting several apps to the TB
17:31:44Soopamanand how is tb different than other pc's running nix?
17:33:49traviscustom OS, custom interface, custom games, no maintence
17:34:26Soopamanok
17:34:26travishow is a dreamcast different from any computer running windows CE?
17:34:50Soopamanso the interface and possibly the games will be custom
17:35:20Soopamanthe os is nix and the no maintenance feature is a biproduct of the os
17:35:41Soopamanso it will be a mini kernel correct
17:35:45traviswe are custom building the OS, we arent just loading redhat on or something... very specific HW needs
17:35:58Soopamanwhich is what i just said
17:36:25Soopamanit's a custom kernal, but build on a reference os (kernel deals with hardware devices only)
17:37:59Soopamanhave you figured out how you intend to communicate with the TB?
17:38:06Soopamankeyboard/joystick only?
17:41:30travismore than likely joystick/mouse/keyboard
17:42:00travissome games are just better with mouse and keyboard (Quake series for example)
17:43:56travislunch break
17:43:57travisbbl
17:47:55Soopamanwell if this is supposed to be a console as opposed to a computer, you can't expect people to use a mouse/keyboard from their couch to play games on their computer
18:37:00travissoopaman: dreamcast has a mouse and keyboard also...
18:55:20Soopamantravis_143cw, but as it's primary form of control?
18:55:59travis_143cwno, i never said primary would be keyboard
18:56:05travis_143cwprimary is controller
18:56:40travis_143cwyou may want a keyboard for email or web browsing or chatting....
18:57:03Soopamani just don't really see why you are dumbing down a pc to a simple console...
18:57:07Soopamanbut oh well
18:57:09Soopamanit's your company
18:57:11Soopamanyour decision
18:57:19Soopamanand i still hope you guys can pull it off
18:57:31Soopaman'cause that would be damn impressive
18:57:55Soopamani tried, but i can't even find a good/standard platform builder for nix, so i gave up trying
19:25:03travis_143cwyou gave up... says a lot...
19:25:50Soopamanheheh
19:25:52Soopamannice try
19:26:02Soopamani just choose to use my efforts and energy efficiently
19:26:13Soopamaninstead of playing the pride game and proving nothing
19:30:14travis_143cwoh ok, so what are you trying to prove right now?
19:40:34Soopamannothing
19:40:50Soopamani am just making sure that you guys have finally figured out a strategic direction
19:41:04Soopamanand i'm also checking if you guys are still running off pride
19:45:34travis_143cwWell thank you for checking up on us... We are doing fine and making very good progress.
20:04:01Soopamanas for your game server
20:04:07Soopamantry to hook up with gaim
20:04:12Soopamanand use that as your portal
20:04:19Soopamanbut put extra hooks into it
20:04:42Soopamanso you can have spanned game play, chat channels and regular im all off the same application
20:04:43zwampyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20:04:52zwampyI CANT FIND THE TUXBOX LOOK!¨
20:04:56zwampyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20:04:57zwampyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20:04:58zwampyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20:04:59zwampyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
20:05:04Soopamanwhich you can build hooks into your software
20:05:05Soopamanheh
20:06:10zwampytravis: do you have the .gif fæl?

21:11:01Zypheusk
21:11:13ZypheusTrav; In case u didnt get the message...Try to work on that report
21:11:32travis|afki have started already, but not quite finished
21:12:09Zypheusah ok
21:12:13Zypheusjust...as soon as you can
21:12:30travis|afkso how much money can we look for? from what source?
21:13:03zwampyZypheus: Can we got money from companies like Mandrake or Redhat?
21:13:30ZypheusWell, After I check over your report and read it and such I can goto several sources I have (as a financial advisor for multiple companies and a town in COnnecticut, You could imagine I have some) and see if they could support us...if they can, then I'll give you the options and see where it goes from there
21:13:50Zypheuszwampy: Yes, it's possible...I don't know anyone there but could try.
21:14:11zwampyok
21:14:15travis|afkwhat does the tiny print look like? are they gonna take our souls in return or what?
21:14:34ZypheusNo...probably if we goto Redhat or something, they'll ask that they get recognition for some little things
21:14:46Zypheuslike on the boxes we could be required to have a sticker that says "Powered by Redhat"
21:14:48Zypheusor something
21:14:58CoolManhey
21:15:02Zypheushey
21:15:09CoolManthx trav
21:15:12travis|afkyep
21:15:23Zypheus:)
21:15:37ZypheusI don't knwo if we CAN get redhat, but I used it just as an example
21:15:50ZypheusThats part of the reason I need the report...
21:15:55ZypheusSo I can see who to hit up for money
21:16:16zwampyI think Mandrake is supporting projects
21:16:26ZypheusYeah
21:16:45travis|afkwhat inspired you to help us out?
21:16:53ZypheusWell...
21:17:13ZypheusI personally always dreamed (as a child) to work with Videogame companies...to help them get big, make games and stuff
21:17:19ZypheusBut I hated the idea of programming
21:17:28ZypheusSo I wasjust looking around a few weeks ago
21:17:31Zypheusand saw this project
21:17:38Zypheusand since it was open source, I figured I might be able to help out
21:17:57travis|afkcool
21:18:07CoolMansweet
21:18:08travis|afkhow long does this report have to be?
21:18:22ZypheusI dunno; No specific length, just as long as it has the information I need
21:18:32CoolManso what is it you want to do to help us man?
21:18:52ZypheusFinancial stuff, and I have a good friend who can get us support...marketting...ect
21:19:01travis|afkZypheus: tell me the required info.  project goals? what else?
21:19:31ZypheusProject Goals, hardware sopecs, Software specs (like what is this build of linux ur running based on?)
21:19:32Zypheusthings like tat
21:19:32zwampyCoolMan: http://www.simnet.is/gsm/tb2.gif
21:19:40zwampyTravis: Do you like the layout?
21:20:04travis|afkyes i do, is there content in there yet or no? could you put a test html site up for it? like a development one?
21:20:15ZypheusAnother thing I might consider is a donation kinda deal for the website
21:20:19zwampyyes im working on this all
21:20:38ZypheusFrom talking to some of the people in the community, some of them are pretty well off and might donate a little
21:21:02zwampyok
21:21:10travis|afktrue
21:21:17CoolManbrb
21:21:25ZypheusJust as a little secondary kinda thing
21:21:37Zypheusthe majority of funding will be from companies
21:21:44zwampyyes
21:23:08CoolManhmmmmm
21:23:26ZypheusAlso I really want to work on getting the "Tuxbox Board" together
21:23:32zwampyYes
21:23:36CoolManso you know about financing, and can help present our case to major companies?
21:23:37zwampyI want that too
21:23:46ZypheusCoolMan: Yeah.
21:23:53CoolMansweet
21:23:53ZypheusTHe board is KEY to the products success
21:23:55zwampybrb
21:24:10CoolManare you talking about, like, a company board?
21:24:12ZypheusIf the board is not formed, then the people behind the product are generally un organized, just do whatever they want...
21:24:36ZypheusI was thinking like a congress-type deal
21:24:45Zypheusonly...well...
21:24:47Zypheusokay
21:24:53ZypheusYou have everyone involved in the making of it
21:24:56Zypheusthe main people
21:25:05CoolMansorry, brb
21:25:11Zypheusand we have weekly meetings, and whenever there is a choice to be made about the project, they have to bring it up
21:25:23Zypheusand then if its a votable-type thing they vote
21:25:31Zypheusand if its passed, then you change the thing
21:25:37Zypheusif not, oh well.
21:25:50travis|afki feel that is a little too official...
21:25:59Zypheusperhaps
21:26:02ZypheusIts jsut a general idea
21:26:16travis|afksome things just shouldnt have to come down to that
21:26:23Zypheusyes i know
21:26:35Zypheusi mean things like signing on a company to fund us...
21:26:39Zypheuslike
21:26:57Zypheusmaybe some people have problems with the company that are willing to help us
21:27:01travis|afkwe all have lifes outside of the TuxBox, it is hard to make a standard meeting time... although for the last few weeks we have all met on sunday mornings at 1:00pm eastern time
21:27:15Zypheus*nods*
21:28:15ZypheusYeah
21:29:26Zypheusnow...
21:29:33Zypheusis the product TuxBox the set name
21:29:35Zypheusor no?
21:30:03travis|afkAs of now yes
21:30:21travis|afkat least the product name, maybe not the model, i dont know
21:30:31Zypheus*nods*
21:30:37ZypheusIs it under copyright protection?
21:31:03travis|afkno, we havent done that yet
21:31:10CoolMansorry, back now
21:31:17Zypheusah ok
21:31:56CoolMani was considering the assembally of the board
21:32:11CoolMani think that should be preformed be travis
21:32:27Zypheusyes
21:32:32Zypheus0.
21:32:40CoolManbecause we cannot model our project after democracy
21:32:58Zypheus*nods*
21:33:16CoolManotherwise people would "vote" for whatever they thought would be best for them (not the project)
21:33:21Zypheusyes
21:33:28travis|afkthat is what i said...
21:33:41CoolMandecisions should come down to the leaders in various areas, and ultimately to travis
21:34:23Zypheusyeah
21:34:26Zypheusthats what i meant
21:34:42CoolManthe board should (ideally) be composed of leaders and other VIPs who obviously would not put themselves before the project
21:35:45CoolManbut the board would (again ideally) be no more then discussion, to present facts, and opinions
21:35:55CoolMannot to make desisions for the leaders
21:36:15CoolMannow reigns in the endless rant.
21:36:25Zypheusagrees
21:37:38CoolMantravis|afk: will this report be open to developers?
21:38:42CoolManhellooo
21:40:09Zypheushehe
21:40:11ZypheusI dunno
21:40:13ZypheusDont ask me
21:40:26zwampy_ok
21:40:29zwampy_im back
21:40:32CoolManhey
21:40:39CoolManWB
21:41:16zwampy_thx
21:41:24zwampy_how is adsl config in Redhat?
21:41:47CoolMannever ussed it
21:42:02Zypheusdoesn't know anything about computers
21:42:10zwampy_ok
21:42:13zwampy_np
21:42:14Zypheusknows AOL, Windows, Word, and a few other programs
21:42:33zwampy_but you know open source?
21:42:50Zypheusuhh
21:42:51Zypheuswhat
21:43:00ZypheusI read this magizing about open source stuff
21:43:07CoolManhey Zypheus, i was gonna say, it's kindof funny.
21:43:26ZypheusWhat's kinda funny?
21:43:28CoolManyour story about being involved with the tuxbox is kindof the same, and oppisite to my story
21:43:36CoolManat the same time
21:43:56CoolMani have allways wanted to be involved with video games, but i love programming
21:44:37CoolManthen i was so disgusted with the lack of a platform i could write games for, i looked around the internet, and found the tuxbox
21:44:44Zypheus:)
21:44:53CoolMankindof funny
21:44:55CoolMani thought
21:45:04zwampy_www.simnet.is/gsm/tb3.gif
21:45:12CoolManchecking
21:45:44zwampy_i hope you like this
21:45:49CoolManit's good
21:46:01CoolMani don't understand your development process
21:46:47zwampy_no
21:46:53Zypheuswhat
21:46:54zwampy_noone dose
21:47:05Zypheuslol
21:47:13CoolManhehe
21:48:04travis|afkwho is the chinese girl and where did you get her?
21:48:06travis|afk=P
21:48:13CoolManlol
21:48:29zwampy_haha
21:48:30zwampy_i found it on the internet
21:48:31zwampy_and I like it :)
21:49:04travis|afkbut i dont think a little chinese girl is appropriete for the site...? people might get the wrong idea about our site... lol
21:49:15CoolMani was about to say...
21:49:16zwampy_lol
21:49:29zwampy_I like it :>
21:49:51travis|afkthats ok, but i am not into underage asain porn (i guess we all have our preferences)
21:49:51travis|afk=P
21:49:59CoolManhmmm
21:50:09travis|afkZypheus: are you around?
21:50:12CoolManacually, i have been thinking about this for a while
21:50:32CoolManand i decided i should say what i think
21:50:38travis|afk??
21:51:49CoolMani think we should decide now that we are going to make this project somthing that is not inappropriate for anybody (even little kids) and we should discourage anybody from producing any inappropriate content
21:52:04traviswhoa... what?
21:52:10CoolManotherwise, we will continue to joke about stuff
21:52:27CoolManand then we will have some sicko take us seriously
21:52:53travisconfused... you think we should what?
21:53:06CoolMankeep off the porn subject
21:54:03travissorry mom =P
21:54:22CoolMani mean, otherwise, we will start attracting the wrong developers, and the wrong user base
21:54:40CoolMani know, i must sound like a wuss
21:54:49CoolManbut think about it
21:54:53travislol, we arent attracting porn addicts, we brought it up joking, its not a very big deal
21:55:04CoolMani know it's not a big deal now
21:55:27CoolMani even thought about not bringing it up
21:55:36travisand people who develop porn software should just... i dont know, but they shouldnt do it for TB or something
21:55:54CoolManyeah, that's what i'm saying
21:56:21CoolManwe should just draw a line for the sickos who might try to cross it
21:57:25travisyeah its to your discretion if you decide to kick/ban someone... but keep freedom of speech in your mind, it is important
21:57:35CoolManhuh?
21:57:49travisyour an OP, you can kick people out of here...
21:57:58CoolMani know, i never have tho
21:58:06CoolManexcept bakemono, as  a joke
21:58:14travisthats cause there isnt a porn problem in the room....
21:58:20CoolManyep
21:58:31CoolManrm Makefile~
21:58:34CoolManoops
21:58:35travisexcept for ibot, he is nympho
21:58:35CoolMandrat
21:58:40travis=P
22:00:09traviswell i will be back later, i am going to lay down, still feel a little sick
22:00:16CoolMansorry, cya
22:00:23traviswill you be here later?
22:00:27travisoh coolman
22:00:30CoolManmight
22:00:32CoolManyeah?
22:00:42travisthis is going to sound retarded but....
22:01:24travisThe whole networking issue... i thought of some good ways to do it (server side)
22:01:36traviskind of like a battlenet type deal
22:01:42CoolManok
22:01:57CoolManthe only problem still remains
22:01:57travisso i started coding the server...
22:02:02CoolManreally?
22:02:04travisoh no here is the problem.....
22:03:04travissince i dont know c or c++ too well (no networking at all), i was bored at work and started coding the server in VB (*gasp*), but i have good networking skills in vb and the program would only need to be ran on 1 machine, but others could make servers also
22:03:28traviswhat do you think?
22:03:50travisi know VB sorta sucks, but i will get it too work in a fairly nice period of time
22:03:51CoolMani think anything that is done with vb should be experimentation only
22:04:05CoolMannever acually use it
22:04:26travisi already have it set up so it can have 3000 simeltaneous connections at once
22:04:26CoolManbecause VB is slow, is is unstable, and i don't know of any way to get it to run on linux
22:04:29travisi could easily add more
22:04:45CoolManthat's good
22:04:56CoolManbut we should code it in a real language
22:05:00CoolMani mean seriously
22:05:09traviswell this is what i was thinking....
22:05:11CoolMansomthing that could be maintained
22:06:11travisI code it completely in VB... I code whenever i can and as much as i can until i get version 1.0, if it is way to slow, i will then code it in c++ (while i learn networking)...
22:06:36travisbut for the system i have set up, speed shouldn't be a problem
22:07:25traviskeep in mind that i am a Very good VB programmer (cause i have done it for 6 years and worked in it for 3)
22:07:49CoolManhmmm
22:08:06CoolMancan it run on linux?
22:08:12travisi will try
22:08:17CoolManif not, i think it's a bad idea
22:08:21travishopefully wine could run it
22:08:27CoolManoh ow
22:08:31CoolManno way man
22:08:41CoolManthat's just as unstable as windows
22:08:58CoolManwine just keep it from corrupting the whole OS
22:09:51travisstability should be fine though, i have coded uptime necessary VB applications.
22:10:30travisI can design the system 2 ways....
22:10:44CoolManls
22:10:48CoolManoops again
22:11:07travisThis would sort of act like the DC network
22:11:37CoolMani understand how it would work
22:11:54CoolManbut i think it will be a *very* bad idea for it to be in VB
22:12:10travis1.) community chat through the server, online games (including data) through the server (making many player games easy for the developer), but has slow speed
22:12:15travisand 2...
22:13:11travis2.) just chat through server and game initialization (but the game must do its own networking for multiplayer, server would pass the IP address's to the players for the system to set itself up
22:13:30traviswe need one of those types of systems either way
22:13:32CoolManhmmm
22:13:47CoolMani like 1
22:13:49traviswe cant expect people to memorize their buddies dynamic IP addresses....
22:14:08CoolManbut... it can't be in VB
22:14:19travisyou think passing all data through the server for the games is a good idea?
22:14:27travisthat could be a lot of traffic for the server
22:14:37CoolManhmmm
22:14:44CoolManconsider napster
22:14:56travisexactly.... that is like #2
22:15:00CoolManbut the developer will hate us
22:15:29travisvery true. i mean, i could set it up so they could use it as a client SOOO easily
22:15:35CoolMani think if we do #2, we would have to supply a **C** library for p2p type
22:15:44CoolManusing the server
22:15:57travisyes we would
22:16:05CoolManacually, we should do a library anyway
22:16:11travisyes
22:16:51travisbut making the server in VB shouldnt matter too much, it is just a standard TCP connect (you could even telnet into the server and type stuff)
22:17:00CoolManbut the server can't be in VB
22:17:09CoolManbecause it's slow
22:17:17travisfine i am writing it in COBOL!! now you have done it! =P
22:17:37CoolManit's an interpreted language running on an unstable emulated os
22:17:42CoolMansound safe?
22:17:45travislol
22:17:48CoolManlol
22:18:02travisfine, i will do the framework in VB, then attempt to port to c++
22:18:15CoolManmake it C man
22:18:24travisthat way i can just print it out and translate to c
22:18:31travisc++ is better i think
22:18:45CoolManno reason to use c++ for such a simple program
22:19:24travisi like c++
22:19:51CoolManit's less portable
22:20:37travisyeah but it has classes and objects, and no more printf crap! lol
22:21:18CoolMannobody has ever explained to me what an "object" or a "class" is
22:21:26CoolManfrom a C standpoint
22:21:43travisyou dont even know c++?
22:21:54travisthats cool
22:22:06CoolManexcept my dad, (who has an intimate knowledge of both) who scoffs at the c++ flooy as a way to ignore pointers
22:22:23CoolMani don't know c++, because it's hard to understand
22:23:09travisi think c++ is easier
22:23:15travisit is almost just like c
22:23:20CoolManthey don't dare say, "an object is like a structure" or whatever, because they like making object oriented programming mysteroius
22:25:11travisa class is what makes up an object (the code).. an object is just that, an object based on a class.  Objects can have private, public, or protected data constants and variables. an object also can have built in functions. great for data encapsulation and very easy to move your class around to re-use your code
22:25:35CoolManuh...
22:25:36travisthat is more or less what i was tought
22:25:57CoolManso an object is kindof like a subroutine
22:26:06traviswe are learning java right now at school... it is ALL classes and objects, you have to have them
22:26:20traviswell you could say:
22:26:23CoolManand a class is like a struct, but it can hold subroutines?
22:26:36CoolManis that *kindof* it?
22:26:51travis(instead of "int num1; you could have "myClass car"
22:26:59travissortof like a struct
22:27:20CoolManexcept it can hold subroutines
22:27:25CoolManright?
22:27:30travisso you could do things like "car.get_data();" and that would load up the get_data() function
22:27:53CoolManummm, the same things are accomplished with C and pointers
22:27:57travisyes, and what you declare the fucntions/variables as is important also
22:28:08travispublic: int x;
22:28:11CoolManlike, a struct can have a pointer to a subroutine
22:28:21travisprivate ~myClass();
22:28:51travis"protected: char name[]="Travis";"
22:29:41travisthey also have a constructer and destructer. a constructer is called when an object is created based off the class, and destructer is called when the object is destroyed
22:30:12CoolManso basically, you can declare variables as globle (or not) wherever
22:30:39CoolManand you can construct (malloc) and destruct (free) classes?
22:31:31travisstill havent used malloc
22:31:42travisthere is a new keyword in c++ called "new"
22:31:50travisi dont think that is in c though
22:32:15traviswell i will be back in a bit, have to shovel the driveway...
22:32:19travisbbl
22:32:25CoolManit's like, you could have a pointer to a struct, but no memory for the struct, then you make the memory for the struct (malloc) and make the pointer point to the new memory
22:34:31tarecobye dewds
22:39:44[57th]cneal|afkis back (gone 02:04:01)
23:46:23travishey
23:47:16Bakemonotravo!
23:47:43BakemonoI just got a cool book on computer science :D
23:47:48Bakemonoit's called "Computer Science"
23:47:48travisnice
23:48:18Bakemonosupposedly it's pretty standard
23:48:42Bakemonoand it sticks to psuedo code for examples, which is nice
23:48:57Bakemonoinstead of having to try and understand pascal or something horid like that
23:49:10travisyeah...
23:49:55Bakemonoyou should check out the LGME message board sometime
23:50:00Bakemonointroduce yourself
23:50:01Bakemonooh oh oh
23:50:11Bakemonothere was some guy on the tuxbox board
23:50:28Bakemonohe said he had a deal with you
23:50:49Bakemonoor did I dream that?
23:50:51traviswith what? who?
23:51:02BakemonoFUCK
23:51:06BakemonoI hope that wasn't some lame dream
23:51:36BakemonoZypheus
23:52:16travisi spoke to him yes
23:52:36Bakemonohis post made it sound like something big was goin' down
23:52:44BakemonoI'm Zypheus, a name you may be seeing in the future quite often if my deal with Travis goes through.
23:52:57travis:-) give me a link!
23:52:58Bakemonohis grammer could use some work...
23:53:02Bakemonohttp://www.tuxboxproject.com/tforum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=247#1549
23:54:28travisnice, yes i spoke to him several times
23:54:36traviscan i send you something for you to read?

23:54:53Bakemonome edit?
23:54:54Bakemonoheh
23:54:54Bakemonook
23:55:06travisi am supposed to write a tuxbox report basically stating our goals, tuxbox capabilities, etc
23:55:12Bakemonooh
23:55:13Bakemonook
23:55:20BakemonoI'm probably a good person to help edit
23:55:21travisthis is for Zypheus, so help me out
23:55:27travisi will email it to you
23:55:34Bakemonodamn it

23:58:28Bakemonook
23:58:40Bakemonothat's why it's taking so long
23:58:54travisthis deal is sorta based on time... so please do as much as you can
23:58:54BakemonoI'd have finished by now if you'd sent it to bakemono@scurvypenguin.net!
23:59:02BakemonoI will
23:59:12travisalso, when can you release an .iso of the OS?
23:59:13Bakemonosince I won't be going anywhere tonite or tommorow
23:59:15Bakemonocause I'm sick
23:59:16travishow is the OS?
23:59:22Bakemonoany time really...
23:59:26Bakemonothe os, is coming along
