| 00:27:02 | CosmicPenguin | is away: dinner |
| 01:51:56 | sujan | han_solo? |
| 01:53:31 | han_solo | yes |
| 01:53:33 | han_solo | no |
| 01:53:36 | han_solo | maybe? |
| 01:57:19 | brailsmt | why is it when I play freecraft 1.17 I get the distinct feeling that I am playing a development version? |
| 01:57:30 | brailsmt | stops complaining about it... |
| 01:57:42 | brailsmt | welp, back to retrun of the king... |
| 01:58:21 | han_solo | brailsmt: I haven't had much trouble with it - true the graphics aren't the best. |
| 01:59:11 | brailsmt | it is slower than snot, the ai is poor (the computer will never expand to more than one base... |
| 01:59:35 | brailsmt | i know I have a slow computer, but warcraft was made to run on machines much slower than mine... |
| 01:59:41 | han_solo | :) ok, ok |
| 01:59:57 | han_solo | goes to dinner |
| 02:00:09 | brailsmt | han_solo: if you haven't beaten the ai yet, here is the key... |
| 02:01:27 | brailsmt | build towers to the entrance to the base, put a few footmen in front of the towers (upgraded to cannon towers), and then expand to every gold mine, and just wait it out, when the cpu stops attacking it means it has no resources/units left, and you could kill the base with your grunts |
| 02:01:51 | brailsmt | pretty predictable... |
| 02:02:08 | brailsmt | wishes he still had Starcraft... |
| 02:18:40 | han_solo | brailsmt - wanna show me how it's done? |
| 02:19:13 | han_solo | has starcraft |
| 02:19:22 | han_solo | actually it's my brother's |
| 02:19:25 | han_solo | but I have it |
| 02:48:56 | brailsmt | sure, you mean on freecraft? |
| 02:49:09 | brailsmt | just now reads that he quit... |
| 02:49:10 | brailsmt | :) |
| 14:19:38 | han_solo | morning |
| 14:45:22 | han_solo | hi stuart |
| 14:47:46 | sjansen | Good morning. |
| 14:49:04 | han_solo | is catching up on the uug emails |
| 14:49:44 | sjansen | is playing with shell scripts |
| 14:50:05 | han_solo | everyone else is probably sleeping |
| 14:52:51 | sjansen | heh, this late? |
| 14:53:14 | han_solo | :) or if not sleeping, not here at least |
| 14:54:13 | sjansen | gotcha |
| 14:55:13 | sjansen | Cool thing I've discovered: "temp='temp.tar'; echo ${temp:.*}" |
| 14:55:47 | sjansen | Oops, make that "echo ${temp%.*}" |
| 14:56:04 | han_solo | what does the % do? |
| 14:56:45 | han_solo | basename |
| 14:56:46 | han_solo | cool |
| 14:59:32 | sjansen | Not exactly basename, basename would be implemented (incompletely) with "echo ${temp##*/}" |
| 15:00:12 | sjansen | % removes from the right matching a pattern, # and ## remove from the left matching a pattern. |
| 15:00:38 | han_solo | oic |
| 15:02:32 | emcnabb | hello |
| 15:02:37 | sjansen | Good morning. |
| 15:02:56 | sjansen | warns emcnabb ;-) |
| 15:03:13 | emcnabb | :-) |
| 15:03:29 | emcnabb | what's new on #utah? |
| 15:03:34 | han_solo | you |
| 15:04:11 | sjansen | *nix geeks across Utah. |
| 15:06:38 | han_solo | there, I did it. I managed to read every message on uug |
| 15:07:00 | sjansen | How many days di you let it build up? |
| 15:07:25 | sjansen | 'Cause I only had a few to read this morning. |
| 15:07:55 | han_solo | I've been reading selectively all week |
| 15:08:03 | han_solo | only things with interesting titles |
| 15:08:49 | sjansen | Gotcha. You're a better man than I. If the first two message in the thread don't look interesting I delete the thread. |
| 15:10:28 | han_solo | I guess I should clarify "read" - I open every message and read at least a few words. :) |
| 16:02:22 | | ACTION waves and holds out his hand |
| 16:02:22 | sjansen | ibot say hello |
| 16:02:31 | sjansen | ibot help |
| 16:05:24 | CosmicPenguin | is back (gone 15:38:25) |

| 18:57:49 | CosmicPenguin | is back (gone 01:16:58) |
| 19:06:20 | brailsmt | i usually read the msgs whose topics seem interesting, the rest I skip... |
| 19:06:50 | brailsmt | my ruby ML mailbox has about 8000 mails in it, about 10% of which I have actually read... :) |
| 21:21:32 | CosmicPenguin | is away: off to get pizza ingredients |
| 21:45:46 | CosmicPenguin | is back (gone 00:24:14) |
