| 00:08.18 | starseeker | YEEEESSSSS!!!! |
| 00:12.29 | starseeker | which is not to say that it doesn't need a lot of work, but the basic machinery is now functional. Thanks brlcad! |
| 00:12.29 | ``Erik | holy crap, I got a title and team in ae, crap, now they'll expect me to do something |
| 00:12.38 | starseeker | heh |
| 00:12.49 | ``Erik | oh, uh, hey cliff, uh, still need automake help? :D |
| 00:12.52 | claymore | loves his wife. She bought Ironman and SHE wants to watch it. *love* |
| 00:13.06 | claymore | who the hell put you in charge?!?!?!? |
| 00:13.36 | starseeker | ``Erik: Actually, yes :-). How do I teach automake to identify and install all the output files from a chunked html docbook translation? |
| 00:13.46 | ``Erik | I was thinking "R0x like Br0X" for the title, but they gave me "R0x your S0X Br0X" or something |
| 00:14.00 | ``Erik | chunked how? |
| 00:14.03 | ``Erik | lemme upgrade... |
| 00:14.36 | claymore | Thats got a dr seuss ring to it Erik... |
| 00:14.37 | starseeker | docbook supports two basic modes of producing html documents - "all in one" and "one file per chapter/section/etc." the latter is known as chunked |
| 00:15.04 | ``Erik | ok, I've done sectioned things using the latex2html system |
| 00:15.24 | starseeker | basically I feed it a different stylesheet - that part's OK - but the filenames are random |
| 00:15.26 | Ralith | mm, LaTeX |
| 00:15.39 | claymore | Ralith: lol, beat me to it. |
| 00:15.39 | ``Erik | random? |
| 00:15.40 | starseeker | well, as far as automake knows anyhow |
| 00:15.59 | ``Erik | is there a common file that you know will exist and be able to do path name globbing? |
| 00:16.00 | starseeker | based on the chapter/section names probably |
| 00:16.11 | starseeker | output file? |
| 00:16.18 | starseeker | or input file? |
| 00:16.23 | ``Erik | output |
| 00:16.25 | ``Erik | like |
| 00:16.32 | ``Erik | index.html: crap.xml |
| 00:16.34 | starseeker | not to my knowledge, except maybe index.html |
| 00:16.51 | starseeker | hang on, let me do some down and dirty testing... |
| 00:16.57 | ``Erik | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:17.22 | ``Erik | you might have to abuse the uninstall hook to clean up properly, though |
| 00:19.37 | ``Erik | "(RSQ) R0X ur S0X Br0X" heh |
| 00:19.40 | starseeker | er - are you thinking take index.html and follow all its links to install? |
| 00:20.29 | ``Erik | I'm thinking that your xml will generate index.html, which should be sufficient to generate support files, and you can do fugly globbing to handle all the incidentals |
| 00:20.49 | starseeker | I take it there's no "non-fugly" way? |
| 00:20.51 | ``Erik | but it won't be "right" unless you can explicitely name all the generated ones |
| 00:21.01 | starseeker | like "watch all the output from running this operation and install it?" |
| 00:21.10 | ``Erik | uh, no, :( |
| 00:21.19 | starseeker | darn it |
| 00:21.26 | starseeker | why not? ;-) |
| 00:22.07 | starseeker | probably CAN collect all the chunked names, given enough braincells lost to boredom |
| 00:22.11 | ``Erik | well, how the hell do you know what random program xyz outputs when it's non-uniform? |
| 00:22.31 | ``Erik | now if you felt like being horribly gauche, you could collect output and regenerate the makeful with that information |
| 00:22.42 | starseeker | simple - save a list of all files in the directory, then do a diff after the command is run. Anything new is output |
| 00:22.57 | ``Erik | otherwise, you need to simply know the output and sync your .am |
| 00:23.06 | starseeker | nods |
| 00:23.10 | starseeker | was afraid of that |
| 00:23.31 | ``Erik | it's a non-recursive evaluation, think of it as a single pass operation |
| 00:24.03 | starseeker | bah - need a lisp build system. This would be child's play |
| 00:24.21 | ``Erik | yes, this is not lispy, this is simple shell scripts |
| 00:24.58 | ``Erik | lisp has the zomfg awesome of freakin' recursively evaluated macros, C doesn't do that, and this is even further off in the wrong direction :D |
| 00:25.01 | starseeker | wonders how the rest of the world solves this problem |
| 00:25.27 | ``Erik | uh, fugly hacks or knowing all the generated files and maintaining a solid am file? |
| 00:25.35 | starseeker | blegh |
| 00:25.35 | ``Erik | 99% of the world would say "uh, don't do that" |
| 00:25.36 | ``Erik | :) |
| 00:25.55 | starseeker | generate chunks in the first place you mean? |
| 00:26.23 | ``Erik | I honestly can't see this stuff being nondeterministic |
| 00:26.51 | ``Erik | I think you're just expecting too much automagic, if you change a section name, update the am file to reflect that... no? |
| 00:26.59 | starseeker | Oh, I'm quite sure it's deterministic. It's just the idea of a big laundry list doesn't appeal |
| 00:27.20 | ``Erik | <-- points to several places where we have big laundry lists in BRL-CAD's autofu |
| 00:27.54 | starseeker | objects to doing things computers can (or at least should) be able to do. |
| 00:29.07 | ``Erik | ok. You must know the output of every program in existance, ever. Without getting to look at docs or try running them. |
| 00:29.27 | ``Erik | due to the pipelined trivial nature of the auto* approach, that is the issue :) |
| 00:29.49 | ``Erik | given any possible data set as input. |
| 00:29.57 | ``Erik | :D |
| 00:46.32 | starseeker | Heh. Before and after diffs on the directory are fine unless you get side cruft generated, but nevermind |
| 01:06.05 | ``Erik | many programs generate side cruft |

| 10:31.32 | iandaletter | me? |
| 10:31.50 | iandaletter | it is rather evening... |
| 10:32.11 | claymore | well i was talking at Erik, but hi! |
| 10:32.24 | iandaletter | hi |
| 10:34.47 | claymore | Erik as for their music... its okay. That song 'back in your head' drives me insane... too squeak of a voice. 'Speak slow' is rock enough that I actually like it. |
| 10:35.14 | claymore | And the looks, eh, I believe the category they fall into is 'bag & tag' ;) |
| 10:36.53 | claymore | iandaletter: Whereabouts are you located? |
| 10:37.09 | iandaletter | пÑе +7 |
| 10:37.14 | iandaletter | gmt +7 |
| 10:37.46 | iandaletter | ending up translating QCAD's manual |
| 10:38.15 | clock_ | iandaletter: QCAD the 2D editor from Switzerland? |
| 10:38.19 | claymore | what for? |
| 10:38.21 | iandaletter | claymore: are you a student? |
| 10:38.54 | iandaletter | clock_: yes, and it seems it loads 3D dxf as orthogonal view - but i'm not sure |
| 10:39.08 | clock_ | orthogonal view? |
| 10:39.13 | iandaletter | claymore: i'm graduated student... |
| 10:40.05 | iandaletter | clock_: probably it fully support dxf, but it's a 2D editor - XY plane can be saved, but i'm not sure |
| 10:40.46 | claymore | ianda:negative ghost rider, I am a oldguy. Done did gradjiated and have to work the rest of my life now :) |
| 10:41.45 | iandaletter | claymore: clay more - you probably love off-road or it's a name of a city? |
| 10:42.27 | claymore | gmt +7 = China, mongolia, russia ...? |
| 10:42.37 | iandaletter | russia |
| 10:42.47 | iandaletter | www.sibsiu.ru |
| 10:42.54 | iandaletter | my university |
| 10:43.07 | claymore | Actually, 'Claymore' is just an internet handle I have had since I was a weee lad. Base on the Scottish Two Handed Sword. |
| 10:43.54 | iandaletter | claymore: i thought it means "Waha!.. more clay after the rain (under my wheels)!.." |
| 10:44.45 | claymore | ianda: Very well could mean that :) I just never heard that. I DO own a jeep and like to go off road evern now and then... |
| 10:45.24 | clock_ | claymore: some people go off road without a jeep - in a sharp curve in a rain, after a lot of drinking... |
| 10:46.13 | claymore | lol, not I. I don't drink and never will. Lost 2 good friends in High School to drugs & alcohol... |
| 10:46.29 | iandaletter | i own a motorbike, heavy one.. like to ride it to e.g. scrambler thru muddy road after rains and so on... When on asphalt tires - it's fun... www.rockrawler.com |
| 10:46.35 | claymore | I go offroad on purpose and in a rather controlled manner ;) |
| 10:46.55 | iandaletter | lol... sharp curve |
| 10:47.19 | clock_ | claymore: did they die from drugs and alcohol? |
| 10:47.41 | claymore | yes they did. |
| 10:47.48 | clock_ | heroin? |
| 10:48.41 | iandaletter | claymore: why developers of brl-cad have not included some new features, as e.g. automatic dimensioning? |
| 10:49.39 | iandaletter | clock_: "hero in" - and it's usually not so... it is "you + drugs" Why don't they call heroin as "youdrugs"? |
| 10:49.47 | claymore | Father came home drunk and high on something, i don't know if they ever found out what, but had a shotgun and was looking to kill his wife. Mistook his daughter for his wife. |
| 10:50.51 | clock_ | claymore: oops |
| 10:51.30 | clock_ | claymore: what happened afterwards with the father? |
| 10:51.51 | claymore | iandaletter: When it comes to features added into brlcad, well, its a matter of person-hours... there just isn't enough coders to go around ;) |
| 10:52.14 | iandaletter | claymore: it's bad a bad opportunity to get fire weapons easily. In Russia, lots of people vote "no" for it. But "our capitalists" still want it, though |
| 10:52.21 | claymore | clock: Prison, haven't heard from him since. Don't care to either. |
| 10:52.38 | clock_ | claymore: and mother? |
| 10:52.40 | iandaletter | claymore: ok, i thought it |
| 10:53.11 | iandaletter | clock_: don't sure mother is happy |
| 10:53.26 | claymore | clock_: She committed suicide shortly thereafter. |
| 10:53.32 | clock_ | no wonder |
| 10:54.19 | clock_ | so effectively the family disappeared from the surface of earth? |
| 10:54.58 | claymore | pretty much. |
| 10:55.39 | claymore | its a said story, sure, but that was many years ago now. Just the reason why i have never and will never partake. *shurgs* |
| 10:55.56 | clock_ | how many years do you get in the US for shotgunning down your own daughter? |
| 10:56.09 | clock_ | claymore: partake == got to parties? |
| 10:56.25 | iandaletter | Drugs 'fresh' up their mind, but they don't pleasure in life. Instead, they try to resolve old problems. Or sit and wait for drug intake - when the problems actually begins - in relations or smth. |
| 10:56.51 | claymore | Murder no longer commands the death sentence, so he will be out in about another 10 years. I think he did 25 total. |
| 10:57.10 | clock_ | So then he can find another woman and the story can repeat |
| 10:57.32 | clock_ | If the wife added one homicide to the suicide, she could have prevented this. |
| 10:57.36 | claymore | partake == go to parties, but not drink. I usually end up being the designated driver... which is lots of fun by itself :) |
| 10:57.54 | claymore | If he makes it out alive... the prisons are not nice to child killers. |
| 10:58.20 | clock_ | she was a child at that time? |
| 10:58.31 | iandaletter | clock_: "partake" = to take a part of |
| 10:58.34 | claymore | Grief makes people do very irrational things. |
| 10:59.17 | claymore | Yes, she was 12 or 13 at the time. We had known eachother since we were babies. |
| 11:00.42 | clock_ | why did the father want to kill the mother? |
| 11:01.06 | clock_ | that's not how a harmonic family works, I'd guess |
| 11:01.50 | claymore | Who knows. He was drunk and high on some drug. He probably didn't even know, just seemed like good idea probably. The mother and daugther were wonderful people. The mother just picked a bad apple when it came to husbands. |
| 11:02.25 | iandaletter | clock_: he has something to say, and he'd chosen inappropriate way to do it - after drugs "Drugs 'fresh' up their mind, but they don't pleasure in life. Instead, they try to resolve old problems. Or sit and wait for drug intake - when the problems actually begins - in relations or smth." |
| 11:03.31 | iandaletter | "husbands" - "house band" |
| 11:04.17 | claymore | husbands = married man. e.g. Husband and Wife. |
| 11:04.25 | clock_ | An advantage of a single mother. There is no husband to shotgun her down |
| 11:05.10 | claymore | ...well thats an intersting angle to look at it from Clock_ ...huh, never thought if that way. |
| 11:06.20 | iandaletter | clock_: and a choice of partners, and a need for being a cute lady... |
| 11:06.46 | claymore | $5 USD says that Erik comes back on the channel and says "zomg you guys talk too much!" |
| 11:08.29 | claymore | so, what do you all do for a living? if you don't mind me askin of course |
| 11:08.50 | clock_ | is a software engineer, which is a posh name for programmer |
| 11:09.31 | iandaletter | i'm mechanical engineer, and sometimes a translator |
| 11:09.42 | claymore | posh? might you be in the uk somewhere clock? |
| 11:09.53 | clock_ | no Switzerland |
| 11:10.02 | iandaletter | Probably, i will be a super-duper e.g. sportsman later |
| 11:10.11 | claymore | only missed by a few hundred miles :) |
| 11:10.56 | clock_ | I program in C. |
| 11:11.00 | claymore | cool, a MechEng. I was a ElecEng in the US Navy for a while. What area of the industry do you work in iandaletter? |
| 11:11.14 | clock_ | mechanical engineer is good |
| 11:11.24 | iandaletter | i want to drive thru europe someday... but the main distance will be my own country - nice views as mountains and plains |
| 11:11.27 | claymore | lol, join the crowd. There are some serious C zealots here where I Work. |
| 11:11.49 | iandaletter | heavy machinery of metallurgical plants |
| 11:11.52 | claymore | I am the 'new guy' and the 'oo guy' :) |
| 11:12.15 | clock_ | object oriented |
| 11:12.30 | clock_ | is object oriented, where the object is attractive gay guys |
| 11:12.47 | claymore | ianda: Awesome, so I understand: The machines at the plants where the alloy mixing occurs, or more like the mines where the metals are extracted? |
| 11:13.29 | clock_ | how to produce heavy machinery: take ordinary machinery and add a lod of lead weights |
| 11:13.35 | iandaletter | big coefficient of reliability - the only difference from other machines... same ratio weight / reliability |
| 11:13.49 | clock_ | iandaletter: so everything i sbasically thicker? |
| 11:14.06 | claymore | clock: lol, I am not sure if you are calling OO guys gay, or just saying that you like gay guys.... |
| 11:14.29 | clock_ | claymore: I am not calling oo guys gays, I am just stating I am gay in a oo-paraphrase manner |
| 11:14.39 | iandaletter | clock_: come on! you can not live wit no womans.. as russian com |
| 11:15.07 | claymore | clock_: i figured it was one of the two :) |
| 11:15.22 | clock_ | claymore: hope I didn't offend you |
| 11:15.48 | clock_ | is listening to a tune recorded on a dot matrix printer |
| 11:15.57 | iandaletter | ComedyClub says: "No, no... I'm same yours, still a clothes' esigner, and don't believe them all - i'm still a gay..." |
| 11:16.14 | claymore | ianda: so what industry do your machines primarily function in? |
| 11:17.18 | claymore | clock: nah, no offense. You can be as gay or straight as you want. No matter to me. I like my 5'8" brown eyed wife though, so its TnA all the way for me :) |
| 11:17.20 | clock_ | claymore: I understood in metal forges :) |
| 11:18.05 | iandaletter | clock_: due to large geometrical dimensions, e.g. casted metal could have cavities, that's why e.g. coefficient of reliability reaches 5-6 ration. not e.g. 1.5-2 as in cars - the only difference. "thicker" - right word |
| 11:18.30 | clock_ | iandaletter: you don't test the metal with x-rays? |
| 11:18.42 | claymore | Cool. I worked with a guy in the navy who got a job making equipment that performs checks on the machines that perform checks on the machines that make pharmacutical products. He loves describing his job just to confuse people :) |
| 11:18.59 | clock_ | sounds like multiple levels o recursion |
| 11:19.36 | clock_ | My father worked in the atomic clock department. |
| 11:19.42 | claymore | he gets paid very well. I am rather jealous. |
| 11:19.57 | clock_ | They had like a 20m well into the ground and an atomic clock on the bottom. To ensure maximum possible environmental stability. |
| 11:20.36 | clock_ | And they had a lot of oscilloscopes counters phase locked loops and signal comparators and made the national time standard for the whole country. |
| 11:20.54 | clock_ | Even the horizontal retrace of all television channels were synchronized to this so you could get atomic time from you TV set. |
| 11:21.11 | iandaletter | clock_: no, usually... it is not really needed - most of equipment has been designed long ago... ain proportions and so on. Now it's fea and "longevity / pit stops" |
| 11:22.58 | iandaletter | "main proportions" |
| 11:23.12 | clock_ | iandaletter: do you use BRL-CAD to design your monstrous machines? |
| 11:25.18 | iandaletter | no, it is usually AutoCAD - but now, when internet access is well ...possible for everyone - we can not use pyrate software in firms... People at home can use it still. I'm about BRL-cad, QCAD, blender, and www.code-aster.org soon |
| 11:25.50 | claymore | is learning blender. |
| 11:26.11 | clock_ | what is code-aster? It's in French I don't understand |
| 11:26.31 | clock_ | iandaletter: I use BRL-CAD and qcad on my DIY garage made optical wireless data link 10Mbps full duplex 1.4km |
| 11:26.39 | iandaletter | Do you know Finite Element Method? FEA or FEM - this and continual modifications to get good "longevity/ pit stops" ratio - all what we do |
| 11:27.00 | clock_ | FEM yes you divide into small pieces and then calculate the mechanical parameters |
| 11:27.47 | iandaletter | clock_: i can not even download it... it's in french, but i will use it and other free programs instead of non-cheao ANSYS.com |
| 11:28.45 | claymore | |
| 11:29.11 | iandaletter | impact.sourceforge.net - for crush tests, written on java, it works with shells and geuz.org/gmsh/ mesher |
| 11:30.47 | iandaletter | clock_: "DIY"? |
| 11:30.54 | clock_ | iandaletter: Do It Yourself |
| 11:31.08 | iandaletter | ah! |
| 11:31.59 | iandaletter | my old PC was "RIY" with couple coolers'n'such in store |
| 11:32.32 | claymore | okay, my turn... RIY == ?? |
| 11:33.09 | iandaletter | Repair it yourself |
| 11:33.36 | clock_ | I bought factory new skateboard trucks and they were RIY |
| 11:33.41 | clock_ | Repair The Faulty Design Yourself |
| 11:33.42 | iandaletter | and now it's a laptop, and by now i hate computers |
| 11:33.59 | claymore | ah, lol. |
| 11:34.06 | clock_ | They left unmachined casted surface in a place where the ball bearings required precisely prependicular surface |
| 11:34.27 | claymore | I am getting ready to make the switch from laptop back to desktop as my primary machine. |
| 11:34.33 | clock_ | I had to file 4 these surfaces and 4 nuts (also crooked) down to prevent the bearings from being destroyed |
| 11:35.03 | clock_ | claymore: I did the same |
| 11:35.15 | iandaletter | uh... I have bought K2 sk8board for 50$ instead of 150$ - promo model - someone'd groung tails a bit... |
| 11:35.37 | clock_ | claymore: Especially at home I have a dual CPU high performance desktop since I render BRL-CAD videos for my hobby project. |
| 11:35.57 | iandaletter | clock_: claymore: I hate computers by now... |
| 11:36.03 | clock_ | iandaletter: I have a G&S Stacy Peralta Warp Tail 2 reissue |
| 11:36.50 | claymore | wow, you use brlcad for videos? got any samples to see? |
| 11:37.00 | iandaletter | don;t know brands... i used to biking, but this thing has no brakes! |
| 11:38.50 | iandaletter | we have no much asphalt... for a while... |
| 11:39.42 | clock_ | claymore: http://ronja.twibright.com/3d/all.ogg |
| 11:40.17 | iandaletter | clock_: I have ABEC 5 and people say it is a bit fast for freestyle - and soon it will be even faster. I'm from http://pastime-one.livejournal.com/ |
| 11:40.20 | clock_ | claymore: sorry, the video is empty. I have to fix it. |
| 11:40.30 | clock_ | iandaletter: I have Bones Swiss. |
| 11:40.57 | claymore | clock: no problem, but can you put it in either mpeg or avi? I am at work and don't have the ability to view ogg. |
| 11:40.58 | clock_ | you regulate speed by crappiness of the bearings? |
| 11:41.10 | clock_ | I thought the job of bearings is to reduce friction as close to 0 as possible. |
| 11:41.25 | clock_ | claymore: no. I tried mpeg but the mpeg encoder shifted sound and video. |
| 11:42.13 | clock_ | If I stop maintaining Ronja for a month always some things screw up |
| 11:42.34 | clock_ | This time it was the fucking video. |
| 11:42.39 | iandaletter | well, i don't really know... Only know opinions - while i'm just skating. I like flatland as Rodney Mullen - and "rally" to somewhere thru every bit of asphalt |
| 11:42.47 | clock_ | I fix my skateboard and my BRL-CAD video breaks. |
| 11:42.53 | clock_ | Life is like the 15 game. |
| 11:43.16 | clock_ | is nowhere as far in skateboarding as Rodney Mullen |

| 14:02.33 | claymore_ | Eddie, the flamboyany ships computer.... that had me nearly pissing myself.... lol |
| 14:03.06 | ``Erik | the recent movie that came out really didn't do justice to the books |
| 14:03.26 | iandaletter | about my book... but always remind Zigmund Freid's psychological sublimation... |
| 14:03.48 | claymore_ | haven't seen it yet, kinda don't want to... |
| 14:03.51 | ``Erik | in, uh, 2002, I actually got pulled out of line because I had the hhgg paperback with me, the foil on the cover set off the metal detecter |
| 14:04.10 | iandaletter | ``Erik: can a date of publishing to be some kind of a copyright? |
| 14:04.29 | ``Erik | so I put my held belongings down on a seat and they wanded me for a while, before figuring out it was my book |
| 14:05.01 | ``Erik | amusingly, my dad had a book with him and was using a carbon fiber knife as a bookmark, forgot to take it out... he went through no problem |
| 14:06.04 | ``Erik | iandaletter: us copyright law states that copywrite is implicit, with date of publishing being the official date for the length |
| 14:06.17 | CIA-4 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32807 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: it looks like bot-bldxf outputs a much better dxf than bot_dump, the two should be merged |
| 14:06.31 | ``Erik | was changed to implicit in the 70's I think |
| 14:06.49 | brlcad | ``Erik: was (fix metaball "shelling" issue) fixed? what is that? |
| 14:06.54 | iandaletter | i mean publishing on e.g. livejournal dot com |
| 14:07.22 | brlcad | and "extend metaball control info beyond simple points" (?) |
| 14:07.25 | ``Erik | no, never fixed, um, the primitive inverted weirdly |
| 14:07.39 | ``Erik | nope, I put in teh stubs to do lines, but not the intersect code |
| 14:08.11 | ``Erik | the shelling issue is that ellipsoid where I cut a cube out of it and it looked hollow inside |
| 14:08.49 | ``Erik | I was instructed to ignore it and work on other things :/ |
| 14:08.52 | brlcad | how's that inverted? |
| 14:09.06 | ``Erik | uhhhh, are you in the office? |
| 14:09.15 | brlcad | not yet |
| 14:09.28 | brlcad | after lunch |
| 14:09.36 | ``Erik | ok, on the, uh, web server, in my home dir is a metaballs dir, one of those pics shows the issue |
| 14:09.56 | ``Erik | if I knew what it did what it did, it'd be fixed |
| 14:10.15 | brlcad | I get what you mean by it looking hollow, just not how that equates to inverted |
| 14:10.28 | ``Erik | but the shell thickness is an artifact of the 'step past' value |
| 14:11.21 | ``Erik | probably my ugly stepping algorithm being not quite right, it makes the first intersection, then imagines everything else to be below threshold or something |
| 14:12.06 | iandaletter | i.ve decide to go to sleep |
| 14:12.09 | *** part/#brlcad iandaletter (n=asus@217.118.79.37) |
| 14:12.21 | ``Erik | I assumed the water ball test meant it was all keen, I think I made a mistake there |
| 14:13.31 | CIA-4 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32808 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: expand the metaball items a little so I hopefully knows what they be later |
| 14:14.26 | ``Erik | bah, I know what they mean, and no one else cares :D |
| 14:14.42 | ``Erik | I thought I put verbose notes, uh, somewhere |
| 14:16.25 | brlcad | you knowing what they mean doesn't help me (and I care:P) |
| 14:16.52 | ``Erik | well, with the shelling, if you subtract on it, it's not solid inside, it looks like a shell... |
| 14:17.42 | ``Erik | and I was hoping to make lines and triangles valid control surfaces instead of simple points, so like a line could be run down a rotor blade or something |
| 14:18.23 | ``Erik | I think I added an expandable last term to the struct with a second point as an example |
| 14:19.23 | ``Erik | just didn't add the distance logic in the code |
| 14:20.06 | ``Erik | in theory, being able to call any arbitrary geometry a control surface would be gnarly |
| 14:20.43 | ``Erik | but the point strength function would need the ability to compute the distance to the nearest point on that surface |
| 14:20.46 | claymore_ | did you just say 'gnarly' ? |
| 14:20.58 | ``Erik | yes... yes I did... SHUT UP |
| 14:22.07 | claymore_ | hahahaha |
| 14:22.15 | CIA-4 | BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r32811 10/brlcad/trunk/doc/docbook/articles/oed/oed.xml: Oops - put the image links for oed back where they should be. This leaves only tire to fix up. |
| 14:22.33 | brlcad | mm, blobify a bot could be an interesting way to heal mesh geometry, close up thin gaps via medial-axis remeshing |
| 14:24.27 | ``Erik | be damn slow without excessive cleverness |
| 14:24.49 | brlcad | healing geometry is a one-stop job usually |
| 14:25.18 | ``Erik | also; the pain of communicating that the right way to use that primitive to s2 is NOT to think of rays was... brutal |
| 14:25.55 | ``Erik | I had to give her the zomfg drop in code twice |
| 14:28.29 | CIA-4 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r32813 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: already covered a brief mged intro doc in the docs section below |
| 14:28.31 | ``Erik | I'm out of funding for pushing adrt, but I think I need to keep doing it :/ |
| 14:30.18 | brlcad | so do it |
| 14:30.37 | brlcad | that's like the biggest payoff tool around atm |
| 14:31.25 | brlcad | if it "just worked", it'd be really useful even at slow refresh rates |
| 14:32.24 | ``Erik | yeah, but I get yelled at for working on unfunded shit |
| 14:32.59 | ``Erik | and I need to prove that I did awesome things for it, like, today, actually |
| 14:34.00 | brlcad | making it runnable would be a great way to do that ;) |
| 14:34.07 | ``Erik | heh, it does run |
| 14:34.12 | ``Erik | most of it, anyways O.o |
| 14:34.14 | brlcad | it does? |
| 14:34.20 | ``Erik | has for six months |
| 14:34.24 | ``Erik | I demo'd it to pjt |
| 14:34.37 | ``Erik | without a fbsd cluster, even :D |
| 14:35.06 | brlcad | how do you run it? |
| 14:36.14 | ``Erik | um, you luck out by having a mysql database with the appropriate data, you run adrt_master, then 'adrt_slave localhost', and isst, tell isst all the right info |
| 14:36.32 | ``Erik | cross your fingers, sacrifice a chicken, and mebbe you see a t62 or stryker |
| 14:37.01 | brlcad | heh |
| 14:37.57 | ``Erik | cut view and shotline don't work yet, my next push is to let it grab a .g file and eliminate the mysql thing, then I might tie the rendering engine straight into the isst binary, so the entire network architecture becomes superfluous |
| 14:38.46 | ``Erik | a single 8 core mac pro runs like a fucking champ with insane geometry, I'm thinking the tide has turned against distributed once again |
| 14:39.08 | brlcad | mm, no isst binary |
| 14:39.21 | brlcad | though adrt_* do seem to run without puking |
| 14:39.35 | brlcad | what's it doing if I don't have a db?? |
| 14:39.40 | ``Erik | it's not in the sf repo, some of the names are inappropriate |
| 14:39.59 | ``Erik | adrt_master and adrt_slave will fire up, but once isst sends the load geometry command, it'll vomit |
| 14:40.09 | ``Erik | isst is in svn on the, uh, internal web server |
| 14:40.45 | ``Erik | the only reason I haven't renamed things and made a .po file to unrename is because it uses gtk+ |
| 14:40.46 | brlcad | working on that sounds so much more interesting than ef |
| 14:40.57 | brlcad | needs to stop procrastinating |
| 14:41.12 | ``Erik | is a gtk+ app permissable in the BRL-CAD repo? |
| 14:41.28 | brlcad | god, no |
| 14:41.39 | ``Erik | then there ya go, that's why you don't have isst |
| 14:41.45 | brlcad | i mean separate module, sure |
| 14:41.56 | ``Erik | hrm, *ponder* |
| 14:42.13 | ``Erik | I imagine moving it to libfb/tk would be nice |
| 14:42.28 | brlcad | could even make it use ogre |
| 14:42.30 | ``Erik | lee has argued that it cannot work since tk doesn't update fast enough, but I think he's blowing smoke |
| 14:42.35 | brlcad | that'd probably be just as easy |
| 14:42.46 | brlcad | yeah, that sounds like hogwash |
| 14:43.12 | ``Erik | well, he's in brady mode, jumping up and down going "manta manta manta!" |
| 14:43.21 | brlcad | now I'd believe libfb having some bottleneck in there depending on the buffering mode you go into |
| 14:43.44 | ``Erik | tk's update frequence was the specific thing he zeroed in on |
| 14:44.14 | ``Erik | and if it matters, libfb can be fixed |
| 14:45.06 | brlcad | if they can get this working, tk's not the problem: http://www.eso.org/~archeso/skycat/rtd/rtd.4.html |
| 14:45.27 | ``Erik | when you get in the office, make sure to hack src/adrt/slave/Makefile to have the mysql cflags, libs, and -DHAVE_MYSQL=1 |
| 14:45.41 | brlcad | yeah, the performance in libfb is just silly memcpy'ing and inefficiencies that haven't ever mattered before |
| 14:45.49 | ``Erik | and compile the isst binary with, uh, I think it's -DHAX=1 |
| 14:45.54 | brlcad | doesn't want mysql |
| 14:46.09 | ``Erik | that's the only way the slave nodes can acquire the data at the moment |
| 14:46.25 | ``Erik | twinky gutted the file approach and went all mysql |
| 14:46.26 | brlcad | hell, it'd probably be easier (for me at least) to hook in .g parsing than set up the mysql backend |
| 14:46.43 | ``Erik | it's there, the db is on the amd64 fbsd box |
| 14:46.50 | ``Erik | just hack the makefile and go |
| 14:46.56 | brlcad | oh wow, xslt actually built the docs for me |
| 14:47.35 | ``Erik | making it grok specially prepped .g files is my next big move, though |
| 14:48.26 | ``Erik | with the insane overhead of the tree generation, I'm half wondering if I need to add a 'last modified' field to all nodes :/ |
| 14:49.25 | ``Erik | so I can store the kdtree info in the .g itself, and only regenerate it on change |
| 14:49.54 | brlcad | holdy crapoldy, the doc html generation actually worked too |
| 14:49.57 | brlcad | ~starseeker++ |
| 14:50.07 | brlcad | prepped .g files? |
| 14:50.13 | ``Erik | wait, what? cliff did something right? O.o |
| 14:50.15 | ``Erik | :D |
| 14:50.39 | ``Erik | yeah, all bot, with a special command to generate the kdtree cache |
| 14:50.44 | claymore_ | be nice! |
| 14:51.16 | brlcad | adding a timestamp attribute to the database would be interesting to test .. our slick low-overhead I/O on .g's might get screwed a little, would need some testing |
| 14:51.48 | brlcad | otherwise, could simply just create some binary hash object that had the prepped kdtree and the hashes for the geometry they correspond to |
| 14:51.50 | ``Erik | hey, cliff went from the land of hovercars that you tell your destination and sit back to the odd world of cranking the engine by hand to get it started... i'm surprised he's adapting to the primitive world so well |
| 14:51.57 | brlcad | then you wouldn't need to change the geometry format |
| 14:52.35 | ``Erik | my fear is that I make an 'all.g |
| 14:53.21 | brlcad | i fear you doing that too |
| 14:53.24 | ``Erik | in ktank, hit the funky buttons to make it all bots, get an all.f or whatever, generate th kdtree cache, move something and regenerate teh kdtree |
| 14:53.52 | brlcad | all.f ? |
| 14:54.14 | ``Erik | but if I don't think to regenerate the kdtree, it's irrelevant and suddenly I'm missing crap that should exist |
| 14:54.18 | ``Erik | yeah, facets |
| 14:54.23 | brlcad | ah |
| 14:54.33 | ``Erik | I've taken to the behavior of calling facetized objects .f |
| 14:54.38 | brlcad | usually does *.bot |
| 14:55.06 | brlcad | looks like a fortran object *shudder* |
| 14:55.28 | ``Erik | just wait until I start commiting geometry with .CBL objects |
| 14:55.55 | brlcad | mm.. combinatorial ballisic lethalities |
| 14:56.07 | ``Erik | sure, if you wanna call cobol that |
| 14:56.08 | ``Erik | :D |
| 14:57.44 | brlcad | still, worrying about the kdtree time seems less-than-prioritous before .g's are first working |
| 14:57.56 | ``Erik | uh |
| 14:57.58 | brlcad | let 'em wait |
| 14:58.04 | brlcad | they'll get it |
| 14:58.08 | ``Erik | we're talkin' overnight issues here |
| 14:58.15 | brlcad | he had a fast one too |
| 14:58.19 | ``Erik | like, click the button on a friday, mayb e it's done by monday |
| 14:58.26 | brlcad | his overnight was a pig |
| 14:58.40 | brlcad | and only gave a couple % iirc |
| 14:58.49 | ``Erik | ok, I just remember the stories of the full weekend grind |
| 14:59.15 | brlcad | yeah, he was proud (or amused) at how piggish he'd made it :) |
| 14:59.24 | ``Erik | ktank should be trivial, so my intent is to make it 'just work' with a facet representation |
| 14:59.28 | ``Erik | then move on to the saved cache |
| 15:00.15 | ``Erik | the timestamp idea is just to say when that saved cache is outdated |
| 15:01.00 | brlcad | still wants to hook libtie behind rt_bot_*() and then hook rt_shootray into adrt |
| 15:01.17 | ``Erik | yeah, that'd be a nice end state |
| 15:01.30 | ``Erik | I've talked about doing both those things to various pointy hairs |
| 15:03.04 | ``Erik | my working notion has been that the tree generation would become a net loss if libtie were shoved into rt_bot without either serious isoliation (to eliminate it's utility) or significant modification to the tree generation |
| 15:04.14 | ``Erik | but I've argued long hard and uselessly that things like "time to market is more important than that last 1% of efficiency" |
| 15:06.03 | ``Erik | twingy, sir, you bitch, why didn't ya document this better? not the i++; // increment i crap, but "this is how th enetwork protocol works" :D |

| 19:10.46 | Ralith | hullo brlcad |
| 19:11.20 | starseeker | is probably to blame for most of the size increase... |
| 19:13.11 | brlcad | actually, i'm just on a slow wireless connection at the moment, that's partly to blame |
| 19:13.22 | brlcad | hasn't even gotten to doc yet :) |
| 19:13.30 | starseeker | ew |
| 19:13.38 | starseeker | doesn't care for slow wireless |
| 19:14.00 | Ralith | concurs |
| 19:14.02 | brlcad | it's not anywhere near saturated, so I suspect it may be on sf's end |
| 19:14.08 | Ralith | still, better slow than unstable |
| 19:14.12 | starseeker | brlcad: Oh, are the CCB scripts around here somewhere? Ed wants me to learn "the process" |
| 19:14.25 | starseeker | brlcad: sf has been VERY slow of late |
| 19:14.28 | brlcad | sh/tracker.sh |
| 19:14.52 | brlcad | and sh/news2tracker.sh |
| 19:15.05 | brlcad | start with those |
| 19:15.19 | brlcad | since sf unveiled a new design, they may require tweaking |
| 19:15.49 | brlcad | they invariably require little tweaks every few months, it's far from an automated process |
| 19:15.55 | brlcad | but a lot of it is automatic |
| 19:16.43 | brlcad | none of the formatting is automatic at this point (usually takes about a half-hour to format) |
| 19:17.04 | starseeker | ok |
| 19:17.40 | starseeker | winces at how long this will take with sf in its current state |
| 19:18.07 | brlcad | oh, it takes about 10 minutes to run regardless |
| 19:18.15 | brlcad | just due to how it works |
| 19:18.31 | brlcad | it's the only way to get at the actual public data, though |
| 19:18.37 | starseeker | ok |
| 19:18.43 | brlcad | read the headers/docs in those files |
| 19:18.53 | starseeker | wonders if sf could make this easier... |
| 19:19.04 | brlcad | you don't want "everything" usually -- you find the number of days since the last time it was pulled and use that |
| 19:19.18 | brlcad | sf tried, but what they put in place wasn't as good |
| 19:21.04 | starseeker | uh - when was the last time we did a CCB? |
| 19:21.08 | brlcad | fyi, those scripts are entirely "not important" so you shouldn't put any more time into them other than to get them to work with a balance of manual repairs where needed -- they get attention as often as we do the review, no more .. otherwise, it's lost time |
| 19:21.17 | starseeker | hunts through email |
| 19:21.20 | starseeker | k |
| 19:21.59 | brlcad | they're infrastructure scripts, any way hacked forward is a good way, improving as much as is warranted |
| 19:22.16 | starseeker | won't get sucked into them |
| 19:22.23 | brlcad | this next go-round, I was going to fix the html entities |
| 19:22.52 | brlcad | it'll bring in & and other &; entities that are a couple quick regex/sed/perl replaces |
| 19:23.09 | brlcad | you'll see what I mean when you open the report |
| 19:24.05 | brlcad | prepares to caffinate for the long haul tonight |
| 19:24.05 | starseeker | Eeep |
| 19:24.09 | starseeker | june |
| 19:24.22 | brlcad | ~spell caffeinate |
| 19:25.26 | brlcad | there's only been one arl distribution since then so it's reasonable |
| 19:26.02 | starseeker | thinks this script should be accompanied by a giant sucking sound... |
| 19:26.15 | brlcad | which one are you running? |
| 19:26.33 | brlcad | news2tracker is decently quick |
| 19:26.44 | starseeker | the other one |
| 19:26.49 | brlcad | tracker is the gaping hole .. but fun to run in verbose mode |
| 19:26.58 | starseeker | grins :-) |
| 19:27.35 | starseeker | Dunno if you've seen email, Ed sent out an Oct. 9 date |
| 19:28.04 | starseeker | will try and do grunt prep work so brlcad can do more important stuff |
| 19:28.34 | brlcad | it's on my cal |
| 19:32.22 | brlcad | yay, export completed |
| 19:32.45 | brlcad | about 38 minutes, just under 200MB |
| 19:33.02 | brlcad | doc is about 42MB |
| 19:33.13 | starseeker | ow |
| 19:33.28 | brlcad | src is 120, regress is 10, pix 10, db 9 |
| 19:33.40 | brlcad | so not too bad |
| 19:34.03 | starseeker | heh - can't wait til OGRE gets into the main tree :-) |
| 19:34.21 | brlcad | still would be nice to generate all those images, though .. as part of the "compilation" process |
| 19:34.32 | starseeker | nods |
| 19:34.57 | starseeker | some of the Vol II images would probably be pretty tough |
| 19:35.15 | brlcad | ogre probably won't meet up the the 'brlcad' module any time soon -- intentionally keeping a clean separation between the OO layer and the procedural API |
| 19:36.00 | Ralith | starseeker: what for? |
| 19:36.11 | Ralith | (OGRE, that is) |
| 19:36.13 | brlcad | nah, I can't think of any image that can't be generated (at least with a suitable replacement) |
| 19:36.26 | starseeker | Ralith: new GUI work (eventually) |
| 19:36.37 | brlcad | e.g. the truck, use m35 -- the axes, import that axes model |
| 19:36.57 | Ralith | starseeker: so iow you can't wait 'till the new GUI becomes usable? |
| 19:36.57 | starseeker | brlcad: I was thinking more about viewing angles and zoom |
| 19:37.21 | brlcad | the mged screenshots might be tricky, but there may be a way to get tk to dump the drawing context |
| 19:37.29 | starseeker | Ralith: I'm just saying it's a big sucker - we don't NEED to import it for a while |
| 19:38.10 | brlcad | the views don't have to be exact for most of them, tedious sure but doable and not too tricky |
| 19:42.48 | starseeker | brlcad: Um - what criteria is tracker.sh using to pull in items? There are lots of open items here - don't we want only closed ones? |
| 19:45.42 | ``Erik | didn't we do one in spring? |
| 19:45.57 | starseeker | last one was June |
| 19:46.09 | ``Erik | oh, summer I guess |
| 19:46.53 | ``Erik | usually brlcad goes over the closed ones and if we aren't all dead from boredom, starts on the open ones |
| 19:48.05 | ``Erik | darth boss loved the excessive minutae, I think most would prefer just a big hit grind for like 10 minutes, then a real dialogue for the rest |
| 19:49.29 | ``Erik | I imagine claymore would have valuable insight as he's now sat in both rolls :) |
