10:38.27TDscanline: is xfree hooked up to CIA?
10:46.43scanlineit should be
10:47.39scanlinethere was an xfree commit today according to the mail logs
10:47.54scanlinewell, yesterday I guess
10:47.58scanlineand according to the stats page too
10:47.59scanline:p
10:48.20scanlineguess they just really don't commit that often
10:48.37scanlineand the commit they had yesterday had no description
10:49.04scanlineah, that's the filter's fault... the commit should have said "A few I2C-related cleanups"
10:49.13scanlinestill, an amazingly tiny amount of traffic for such a big project
10:50.23TDhmm
10:50.26TDheh
10:50.47TDthey seem to be coasting now keithp left
10:51.03TDapparently xrandr actually broke stuff, and from reading the mailing list it seems they don't intend to fix it
10:51.12scanlineooh, fun
10:51.15TDas he got kicked out before he could finish the work
10:57.15TDscanline: are you a vim or emacs guy? or neither?
10:57.21TD#emacs is dead at the moment
10:57.51scanlineI use emacs, but I'm not an emacs fanatic
10:58.02scanlineone of those "I'll learn elisp eventually" folks
10:58.05TDdo you know how to make font locking not suck speedwise?
10:58.10TDhehe. join the club :)
10:58.23scanlinehmm.. I haven't had any problems with font lock speed, but then I'm on a pretty fast machine
10:58.34scanlineI try to avoid emacs on slow machines and use vim or jed instead :)
10:58.36TDeven with lazy-lock off, it still takes about a second for emacs to notice that i typed a " and update the rest of the buffer to match
10:58.45scanlineohh, that
10:58.48TDthis machine isn't slow, and the cpu is idle, so i think it's a timeout
10:58.55scanlineI'm not sure, I'd like to know how to fix that too :)
10:59.00TDhehehe. bollocks
10:59.08TDwell, if i find out i'll let you know :)
10:59.12scanlinethanks
10:59.31scanlineit does get pretty annoying when it takes a while to notice that the python docstring you just terminated is in fact ended
11:00.11TDyes, doubly puzzling as no other editor i've used has such problems with syntax highlighting, only emacs. i guess it's just the overhead of doing everything in lisp
11:00.37scanlineor maybe they designed it for 3 MHz VAX boxen and haven't realized that these days you can do that in realtime
11:01.37TDi think you meant PDP-11 :)
11:01.48scanlineah, right
11:01.51scanlinethat's all before my time :)
11:02.32TDsort of makes me glad lisp machines never took off.....
11:03.03scanlinewell, I do have a soft spot in my heart for functional programming in general, even though I've never done any real lisp :)
11:03.57TDeverytime i read about lisps features, i think to myself "I should really like this language", then i see stuff like this:
11:04.00TD(lambda (*<8-]= *<8-[= ) (or *<8-]= *<8-[= ))
11:04.03TDand think...... hmmm, no
11:04.31scanlinehmm
11:04.39scanlinemaybe using python in a functional style is a good compromise :)
11:05.35TDby the way, why is your box called navi?
11:05.57TDah yes, xfree == 4 commits, ever. that's really quite sad, it's been quite a while since it was connected
11:06.05scanlineit's named after the 'navi' computer systems in the anime Serial Experiments Lain
11:06.28TDheh, i thought it might be something like that. i've not seen that one (yet)
11:06.34scanlineit's a good one :)
11:06.51scanlineso far all my current computers have japanese names ending in 'i', and for no particular reason :)
11:07.28TDat least you don't call all your servers "jeeves" then think it's funny, like a previous employer i had did
11:07.35scanlineha

18:35.52njsTD[gone]: My guess is that that's an emacs feature, not a bug :-)
18:36.54njs(they don't want to color the whole buffer as a string constant as soon as you hit a ", because that's garbage, it's not actually a string constant, you just haven't finished typing what your line.)
18:37.26laloyup, there is a delay for recoloring the buffer

22:05.07prot-work...dos version?
22:05.17fileDOS? where?
22:05.29fishhead2NEVERMIND
22:16.13fishhead2[18:12] <fishhead2> they have 2 vt100 software programs
22:16.13fishhead2[18:12] <fishhead2> that DO NOT require a os
22:16.13fishhead2[18:12] <fishhead2> and yuo can embed them into a network card bootrom
22:16.13fishhead2[18:12] <kergoth> cool
22:16.13fishhead2[18:12] <fishhead2> but the zloader is generic
22:16.14fishhead2[18:12] <fishhead2> so it could be used for other stuff
