| 01:39.05 | elg | awesome. my opengl app used to take 500+ megs of RAM |
| 01:39.11 | elg | now it uses less than firefox |
| 01:49.06 | levi | elg: Same mountain drawing thing? |
| 01:49.28 | elg | yeah |
| 01:49.37 | elg | for the big data set the virtual memory was over a gig |
| 01:49.43 | elg | and resident memory was 512+ |
| 01:50.06 | elg | the data file, which is textual, is 8M |
| 01:50.26 | elg | quite the balloon effect, eh? :) |
| 01:50.50 | levi | Yeah. |
| 01:50.55 | levi | So, what's the story behind the window name? |
| 01:51.15 | levi | And what kind of algorithm are you using to generate the terrain? |
| 01:51.17 | elg | 8*4 bytes*3 floats per vertex = 96M for the data |
| 01:51.26 | elg | it's real terrain |
| 01:51.32 | elg | the organ mountains just east of here. |
| 01:51.38 | levi | Ah, cool. |
| 01:51.46 | elg | the view in the screenshot is from the east side, in white sands missile range |
| 01:52.02 | elg | have a file of elevation in meters every 30 meters |
| 01:52.06 | elg | in x/y direction |
| 01:52.44 | elg | slew is what they call moving around in unrealistic ways |
| 01:53.01 | elg | there was a slew mode in ms flight simulator back in the day when I used it |
| 01:53.11 | elg | I hate window names like "Hans Fugal final app" |
| 01:54.25 | elg | so 96 for me to hold the data, 96 for opengl's display list (I guess I could delete the data after creating the display list) |
| 01:54.45 | elg | and 38 miscellaneous (probably used by opengl) |
| 02:04.10 | levi | So was it an intentional play on Sloop John B.? |

| 04:55.24 | Tene | buy a 3d printer |
| 04:55.47 | xbmodder | Tene: This is for a school club, so we're capped at around $500 |
| 04:56.16 | stuporglue | BYU has some rapid prototyping machines. Both a plastic one, and a aluminum milling machine |
| 04:56.49 | Tene | xbm: search the hackaday archives |
| 04:56.52 | xbmodder | I'm a high school student in california. |
| 04:57.24 | Tene | xbm: what would you be using this for? |
| 04:57.49 | xbmodder | Tene: I'm building light weight model airplane parts. |
| 04:58.33 | Tene | xbm: perhaps you should research places you could send a design to who would fabricate the parts for you |
| 04:58.37 | xbmodder | Our team has to build a variety of airplanes to complete a variety of tasks |
| 04:59.01 | Tene | if very rapid turnaround time isn't an issue |
| 04:59.17 | xbmodder | Tene: We need like under 24-48 hours |
| 04:59.58 | xbmodder | Tene: What keyword for hackaday? |
| 05:00.11 | Tene | prototype |
| 05:00.13 | Tene | maybe |
| 05:00.59 | xbmodder | I'm trying that |
| 05:01.19 | stuporglue | try CNC maybe? |
| 05:01.36 | xbmodder | stuporglue: CNC? |
| 05:01.52 | xbmodder | ~CNC |
| 05:02.01 | stuporglue | Computer Numerically Controlled |
| 05:02.04 | xbmodder | Ah |
| 05:02.05 | xbmodder | I see |
| 05:02.12 | stuporglue | Milling machines that take a computer file and do the work for you |
| 05:02.25 | stuporglue | Makezine.com has diy CNC machine plans from time to time. |
| 05:02.29 | Supaplex | with high precesion etc |
| 05:02.55 | Supaplex | autocad to part in ... quick :) |
| 05:03.52 | xbmodder | Basically I need fab@home's model 1, but manufactered. |
| 05:04.32 | xbmodder | CNC machine seems what I need |
| 05:05.25 | stuporglue | Getting a CNC machine is probably going to be pricey. I'd look arround for some geek or business who already has one. Maybe post a note on craigslist? |
| 05:05.36 | stuporglue | good luck |
| 05:05.50 | Supaplex | leased time :) |
| 05:05.58 | xbmodder | stuporglue: I could go to the local university (Cal), and try, but they usually charge 100-200 dollars an hour |
| 05:06.34 | Supaplex | how much is the machine? |
| 05:06.45 | xbmodder | $25k |
| 05:09.44 | xbmodder | Or if anyone here wants to make a Model 1 fab@home for me, we could pay for labour? |
| 05:10.46 | Supaplex | something tells me I don't have the real estate to house it. :P |
| 05:11.12 | xbmodder | Its not big |

| 05:38.38 | levi_home | elg: I'm sure you've got an answer by now, but fgets will read a line from a file descriptor. |
| 05:39.08 | levi_home | elg: Er, from a FILE *, rather. |
| 05:42.49 | levi_home | maquis: nicing a process lowers its scheduling priority, and if it's sleeping it's probably waiting on IO or something. |
| 05:53.01 | maquis | levi_home: i was confused because i couldn't get the process to revive... |
| 05:53.08 | maquis | turns out the problem was something completely unrelated |
| 05:53.20 | maquis | has anybody gotten virtual desktops to work correctly on winXP? |
| 05:55.22 | maquis | the background refuses to be anything besides a really messed-up picture... |
| 05:55.39 | maquis | and i can't move windows from one desktop to another (at least not that i can figure out) |
| 05:57.05 | levi_home | I did at one point, but it confused my wife so I disabled it. |

| 13:14.27 | Sargun | Why am I awake? |
| 13:14.34 | Sargun | at 5:15 am? |
| 13:14.36 | Sargun | Did I sleep? |
| 13:18.10 | glitch- | Ok so i did this isntallpkg generic and modules for kernel 2.6..want to give me some hints on how to put it in lilo and run it? |
| 13:18.23 | Sargun | O.o |
| 13:18.30 | Sargun | Lilo, why do you want to run lilo? |
| 13:20.15 | glitch- | Its nice to me, and boots up my system. |
| 13:21.13 | Sargun | heh |
| 13:21.17 | Sargun | Lilo hates me |
| 13:21.24 | Sargun | I don't like it |
| 13:21.33 | Sargun | we got in a huge argument when I first installed Linux |
| 13:21.38 | Sargun | Lilo wanted to continue running |
| 13:21.43 | Sargun | as it was on the MBR |
| 13:21.48 | Sargun | and grub wouldn't install on the MBR |
| 13:21.54 | Sargun | due to lilo's beingess |
| 13:22.06 | Sargun | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:24.08 | Sargun | Sunday |
| 13:24.11 | glitch- | So what do you think? where do i find the kernel i just installed :) and point lilo at it |
| 13:25.22 | Sargun | glitch-, What distro? |
| 13:26.25 | glitch- | slackware 11...it installed 2.4 by default, i am installing 2.6 |
| 13:26.36 | Sargun | ls /boot |
| 13:27.38 | Sargun | Do that |
| 13:27.51 | Sargun | glitch-, What are you doing awake? |
| 13:28.48 | glitch- | so it auto installs the kernel into /boot (im dual booting, in windows now, the purpose ofa ll this to get nic card working so i dont have to reboot for changes) |
| 13:30.12 | glitch- | Sargun:Its 9:41PM im in asia |
| 13:30.17 | Sargun | Ew, A windows user! |
| 13:30.35 | Sargun | YAY IT BOOTS! |
| 13:30.55 | Sargun | Ok, now to install new NICs |
| 13:30.58 | Sargun | and make this work |
| 13:31.27 | glitch- | do you know if kernels are auto installed to /boot? |

| 18:17.16 | Sargun | There should be a line like this in your dmesg: |

| 18:17.17 | Sargun | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:17.17 | Sargun | SCSI device sda: 195371568 512-byte hdwr sectors (100030 MB) |
| 18:17.19 | Sargun | Post it |
| 18:18.25 | goozbach | Sargun: we ban trolls on this channel |
| 18:18.33 | goozbach | and you've admited to being a troll |
| 18:18.43 | Sargun | but whats about the (it's a joke) |
| 18:19.08 | goozbach | how do I know you aren't joking about the it's a joke part? |
| 18:19.28 | goozbach | I just opped myself to be funny |
| 18:19.31 | Sargun | You don't, but you just have to believe that your a better person. |
| 18:19.35 | goozbach | cause it's a joke |
| 18:19.41 | Sargun | slightly scary, and totalitarian |
| 18:19.49 | Sargun | (now you kick me, and say "Thats a joke too") |
| 18:20.03 | Sargun | ... |
| 18:20.05 | stuporglue | Sargun: SCSI device sda: 78165360 512-byte hdwr sectors (40021 MB) |
| 18:20.24 | Sargun | stuporglue, Do you have the first few lines before that, with Model |

| 18:21.50 | Sargun | Old drive |
| 18:21.52 | Sargun | yeah |
| 18:22.14 | Sargun | dd if=/dev/$A of=/dev/$B bs=2048k |
| 18:22.19 | Sargun | Buffer: 2MB |
| 18:22.22 | Sargun | Have fun with that |
| 18:22.36 | stuporglue | cool. Thanks. They're laptop HDs in USB cases. |
| 18:22.55 | Sargun | Yeah, at least its a full 7200 |
| 18:23.01 | Sargun | What about the old drive, what is that? |
| 18:23.09 | stuporglue | They're identical |
| 18:23.16 | Sargun | Ah. |
| 18:23.29 | Sargun | Cooking a bunch of laptops for work? |
| 18:23.32 | Supaplex | 2mb should be fine if you have to guess. 5 or even 10 can't hurt. may or might not be more optimal. |
| 18:24.00 | goozbach | your botleneck will be the usb speed |
| 18:24.01 | Sargun | Supaplex, The drive has 2mb buffer, I think thats the best to set it to the buffer, right? |
| 18:24.15 | Sargun | goozbach, USB2 will not have that problem |
| 18:24.21 | Sargun | different host controllers |
| 18:24.23 | Supaplex | yea |
| 18:24.23 | stuporglue | Sort of. For a class next semester, a prof wants to require everyone to get a HD (like the ones I'm testing). He'll provide a Ubuntu image, and everyone will be sysadmins of their HDs and do all their programming on the disks. |
| 18:24.37 | Sargun | stuporglue, Ah, fun. |
| 18:24.49 | spr_ | stuporglue, what course? |
| 18:25.01 | stuporglue | Yeah. It'll be nice. This semester the supported platform was Windows, next semester it'll be Ubuntu. :-) |
| 18:25.16 | stuporglue | spr_: it's for IT 210, but if that works, all incomming IT students will get one |
| 18:25.42 | Supaplex | that's one way to sell ubuntu ;) |
| 18:27.29 | stuporglue | :-) Hopefully it'll help some more people switch over. |
| 18:27.43 | Supaplex | can't complain there :) |
| 18:28.51 | stuporglue | They want people to learn to be sysadmins and to use their computers here at school, so the alternative was to require everyone to get a laptop. The USB HDs will be a lot cheaper, and all the lab computers here can already USB boot |
| 18:30.24 | spr_ | stuporglue, that's pretty cool |
| 18:30.52 | stuporglue | spr_: I heard about the new hardware for the CS labs. That's pretty cool too |
| 18:31.08 | vontrapp | what new hardware? |
| 18:31.26 | stuporglue | dual monitor, Core Duos, is that right? |
| 18:36.32 | spr_ | The old machines are going to be dual monitor (3.2 GHz P4) |
| 18:36.53 | spr_ | The new machines are Core 2 Duos, 21" Widescreen |
| 18:37.27 | spr_ | We've only got a windows lab up with the new machines. Should have a Linux lab up next week. |
| 18:37.46 | spr_ | We'll also be putting in a Mac Mini lab for next semester |
| 18:38.01 | Sargun | I'm so freaking hungry. |
| 18:38.16 | Sargun | Thats beautiful. |
| 18:38.21 | Sargun | spr_, Thats so beautiful. |
| 18:44.14 | vontrapp | you just need to make them less cold now :) |
| 18:48.15 | spr_ | vontrapp, the new machines will be upstairs, and those labs typically have been warmer |
| 18:51.12 | Sargun | Nice. |
| 18:51.26 | Sargun | I hate dogs, espcially the kind that attack me. |
| 18:59.57 | stuporglue | Thanks for the help guys |
