| 05:44.48 | levi_home | Ray tracing, eh? Cool. :) |
| 05:45.58 | brailsmt | yeah, just for fun |
| 05:47.23 | brailsmt | i'm a nerd like that |
| 05:55.26 | levi_home | Looks like fun. |
| 05:56.59 | brailsmt | yeah, i'm refactoring now, that's not so fun |
| 06:01.49 | levi_home | So your coworker is writing a raytracer in Ruby? Yow. |
| 06:02.40 | brailsmt | yeah, he's a copycat :) |
| 06:02.50 | brailsmt | and he copied it all from a book |
| 06:03.17 | brailsmt | i told him to get his own hobby :) |
| 06:03.23 | levi_home | And he picked the slowest language handy to implement it, too. |
| 06:04.09 | levi_home | I like Ruby, but I would not write a raytracer in it. |
| 06:04.35 | brailsmt | he's a ruby fanboy, his raytracer takes about 30 seconds to render a 512x512 image with those 5 objects in the scene... haha |
| 06:04.52 | brailsmt | mine takes about 1.5 seconds... |
| 06:06.44 | brailsmt | with reflections, his is without reflections... |
| 06:09.19 | levi_home | Should have used OCaml. |
| 06:09.33 | brailsmt | me? |
| 06:10.01 | brailsmt | yeah, but one of the goals of this for me is make it part of my portfolio for getting a new job... |
| 06:10.08 | levi_home | Well, you seem to have written it in some form of C, which is reasonable. |
| 06:10.34 | brailsmt | its C and C++ |
| 06:10.50 | levi_home | Although I work with C enough at work that I don't want to touch it for fun stuff. :) |
| 06:10.54 | brailsmt | i kept the raytrace function C so i can use it easily with pthreads |
| 06:11.14 | brailsmt | when i get to that point... |
| 06:12.05 | levi_home | OCaml or MLton would allow programming in a higher-level language without losing much execution speed over straight C. |
| 06:12.22 | levi_home | In some cases, they might even be faster. |
| 06:12.35 | brailsmt | yeah, but i'm not looking for a job programming ocaml |

| 06:13.37 | ScytheBlade1 | Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming i |
| 06:13.38 | ScytheBlade1 | n, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard. |
| 06:13.45 | ScytheBlade1 | Er, pasted more than I thought I would. |

| 15:24.19 | beandog | can anyone recommend a good indoor hdtv antenna? |
| 15:25.05 | herlo | beandog: do you live in a condo or something? |
| 15:25.11 | beandog | yah |
| 15:25.14 | beandog | top floor |
| 15:25.26 | beandog | I cant really be attaching things to the walls |
| 15:25.42 | herlo | roof? |
| 15:25.47 | beandog | hmm |
| 15:25.51 | beandog | are roof ones better? |
| 15:26.20 | beandog | how would I get the signal inside to the house, through a window or something? |
| 15:29.18 | herlo | beandog: I had a rooftop one that was supposedly pretty good. I actually never set it up. Thing is, I've never heard of indoor HDTV antennas, though I am sure there are |
| 15:29.33 | beandog | oh theres lots of em |
| 15:29.34 | herlo | I did a bi of research on them, that's really all |
| 15:29.41 | beandog | I wonder if they would work okay |
| 15:29.41 | herlo | s/bi/bit/g |
| 15:30.22 | herlo | beandog: I suppose it would work fine, especially if it were near a window |
| 15:30.30 | beandog | Ok |
| 15:30.37 | beandog | Ill give it a try |
| 15:30.58 | herlo | beandog: let me know how it goes |
| 15:31.01 | beandog | ok |
| 15:31.10 | beandog | Im gonna go pick it up today, along with my new widescreen monitor |
| 15:31.11 | beandog | :D |
| 15:31.14 | beandog | I found a great deal at CC |
| 15:31.16 | herlo | beandog: also, I've heard that cable/dish providers give better results... |
| 15:31.21 | beandog | yah |
| 15:31.23 | herlo | yeah, how much? |
| 15:31.29 | beandog | but theres no way Im paying $140 a month just for HDTV from Comcast. |
| 15:31.36 | beandog | $350 for a Samsung 22" |
| 15:31.48 | beandog | the color depth is 2x to 3x all the others at the same price |
| 15:31.59 | beandog | er, resolution ,or whatever it is called. |

| 15:32.18 | herlo | very expensive. I got mine for about $120 for an outdoor 7' |
| 15:32.28 | herlo | but I bet it works awesome |
