00:02.50kergothyay, home
00:03.02purple_cowscanlime: hmm. maybe you could do that just as a new plugin for freevo
00:03.28scanlimepurple_cow: doubt it, from what I've seen its entire menu architecture is synchronous
00:03.46scanlimeadding/removing single items isn't cheap at all
00:03.53purple_cowah
00:04.27numistbuahaha I qualify for a good driver discount
00:04.30numistbe very afraid
00:04.41scanlimeI guess what I'm saying is that there really isn't any part of freevo that I actually like, just a lot I've been willing to deal with so far :P
00:05.07CIA-5navi-misc: 03evan * r8864 10motion/py/Dance/Sequence.py: I think that about does it for the _Frame class.
00:05.44CIA-5navi-misc: 03evan * r8865 10motion/py/Dance/ODE.py: The solver should return, not store the result.
00:06.25scanlimepurple_cow: this method I'm thinking of would also involve storing a *lot* less in memory for each directory entry
00:06.43scanlimebasically you'd just need one pretty lightweight object that just has the item's name and anything else you need for sorting purposes
00:06.55scanlimeall other metadata would only be opened when the item was visible onscreen, or about to be visible
00:07.31scanlimeI don't think there's any way to avoid keeping at least the sorting info in-core for an entire directory, unless we'd ludicrously expect backends to do all the sorting
00:07.51scanlimethis also means we could have live-search backends :)
00:14.24scanlimehah. The first bug I was assigned here is finally closed :P
00:20.20purple_cowread 'em and weep, mon! blah
00:20.56scanlimethis kernel is taking forever to compile, blah!
00:25.13kergothscanlime: do you know if theres a (preferably userspace) unioned filesystem that lets you control/switch the algorithm used to select which element of the union gets new files? (i.e. round robin, weighted round robin based on disk sizes, etc)
00:26.41darth_mallhmmm
00:26.55scanlimekergoth: that was my plan for spreadfs :P
00:26.59kergothoh
00:27.00kergothhehe
00:27.11kergothi was thinking about it for my archives now that i'm getting some new drives
00:27.16kergothi dont want raid, since if you lose one drive you lose it all
00:27.21kergothi'd rather at least keep some of it
00:27.26scanlimenod..
00:27.34kergothanyway, let me know if you want a hand :)
00:27.36scanlimeI didn't think such a thing existed, which was why I started spreadfs
00:27.45scanlimewell, I doubt I'll do anything more on spreadfs :P
00:27.54kergothwell then
00:27.55kergothwheres the code?
00:27.56darth_mallheh
00:27.56kergothhehe
00:27.57scanlimemy current plan is to do the unioning as part of this media center backend
00:27.59scanlimekergoth: navi-misc
00:28.02kergothk
00:28.22scanlimeit's very slow, and currently it's read-only
00:28.46scanlime50% CPU load on a 1GHz machine to saturate 100baseT
00:29.18kergothwowie
00:29.37kergothwell, i need something, and if nothing else exists, i'll improve that
00:30.47purple_cowhehehe
00:30.51purple_cowyay for obscene puppets
00:31.30darth_malluhoh
00:31.35darth_mallare you watching GtB?
00:32.25purple_cowyeah
00:32.29darth_mall^^
00:33.17purple_cowall the cool kids were doing it
00:33.29purple_cowplus i needed to fix all the names on them
00:35.10purple_cowi love ashtrays!
00:35.21darth_mallhehehehe
00:35.24darth_mallyeah
00:35.27scanlimethe green ones make me horny
00:35.46scanlimepurple_cow: fix all the names on mine too :)
00:37.05purple_cowscanlime: i'll give you a list of md5s when i'm done :P
00:37.16scanlime:)
00:38.13scanlimehmmm
00:38.16scanlimejust thought of something
00:38.36scanlimewith this backend's async loading and unioning and such, you could add remote media collections (like fembot) to your local tree
00:39.05scanlimethey could show up with their usual metadata, but instead of playing they'd download to the local machine in the background if you chose to
00:39.30scanlimeor maybe it could stream if it detects you have bandwidth to :)
00:39.55scanlimethat kind of behaviour might be handy even for local media servers, if you're trying to view something really high quality on a wireless link
00:40.54darth_mallis "heart attack" one word or two?
00:41.03scanlime2
00:41.27kergothhttp://invaders.mars-attacks.org/~boklm/copyfs/ /.. heh, cute
00:41.45kergotherm, s/\/\.\./../
00:42.11scanlimealright! my vm oops'ed inside inotify
00:42.29ChipX86yay! ?
00:43.19scanlimekergoth: ugh.. I really hate the idea of doing version control inside the FS for some reason
00:45.06kergothooh, http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/btfs.php is neat
00:45.22kergothhehe
00:46.48scanlimepoing.
00:47.05scanlimehmm, it's about quittin' time isn't it
00:47.09darth_mallyay for easy UI Design homework
00:47.11ChipX86yeah :~(
00:47.16scanlime:~~~~~~(
00:47.16ChipX86I don't want to quit now
00:47.19darth_malland yay for having a user story where the user dies of a heart attack
00:47.27ChipX86but I have two e-mails that might take a day or two that I need to wait for
00:47.32kergothscanlime: hey check out http://ian.blenke.com/blog/projects/cornfs/cornfs.html
00:47.47kergothscanlime: it looks like its almost what we need, only its designed for remote locations rather than local drives
00:47.57kergothbut i see no reason it couldnt do both, and just make the algorithm pluggable
00:48.41scanlimeunionfs wasn't exactly designed for local use either, it's an NFS server
00:48.48scanlimeer, spreadfs
00:50.15kergothhm, yeah, cornfs looks pretty slick
00:50.42scanlimethe thing is, I really want the unioning aspect separate from the actual data path of the filesystem
00:51.08scanlimewith this event-driven FS I have in mind, it only affects directory traversal and file metadata- in the end, you can get a URI for each file and pull the data out directly
00:53.11numistanyone seen gmaps lately?
00:53.15numisthttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=New+Orleans&ll=29.981907,-90.029912&spn=0.003730,0.004892&t=e&hl=en
00:53.23numistnew button - 'Katrina'
00:53.38scanlimeyeah
00:53.42ChipX86wow
00:54.02ChipX86ugh
00:54.12scanlimeit's just nuts switching between normal satellite view and the post-katrina images
00:54.16ChipX86that's really sad
00:54.20scanlimegoogle also has a lot of Google Earth overlays :(
00:54.29numistclick the satelite button to see what it used to look like
00:54.35numistthe katrina button has better zoom capabilities
00:55.25scanlimeoh wow, you can see where the levee broke
00:55.29scanlimewell, one of I'm sure many
00:55.34ChipX86someone must trigger the tacobeam <-> fun-list bridge
00:56.10scanlimeyou just need to write funlistfs and ircfs and use rsync
00:56.20scanlime'cuz everything needs to be a weird-ass filesystem driver
00:56.41ChipX86google maps is incredible

01:02.12scanlimewhat's wrong with this kernel I just built?
01:06.45ChipX86numist: it's coming. And there's nothing you can do to stop it.

01:26.36numist:(
01:26.50nullpuppythis have to do with your mysterious idea that spawned something evil?
01:27.12ChipX86yes
01:27.17nullpuppyyay
01:27.49nullpuppythis something thats going into ws5.5 or something?
01:28.01ChipX86I can't tell you!

01:28.41ChipX86oh no!
01:28.45nullpuppyhehe
01:29.24nullpuppythis is making my brain hurt, stupid code needs to behave
01:29.35nullpuppyor crash so i can track down the fscking problem
01:31.04purple_cowthese are trying times, and it's time we tried to triumph!
01:40.33purple_cowinstead of stabbing him in the back, why don't you try showing him some support ...in the front?

03:16.05purple_cowthis time they were singing some happy song, and then it got all dark and unpleasant, like an andrew lloyd weber musical
03:19.46purple_cow<jimmy> you smell nice, what's that scent you're wearing? <susan> scotch-guard
03:19.49purple_cowwhat a great show :)
03:24.39purple_cowoh, please. what would he want with a hairless two-breasted woman when he could have all *this* ?!
03:27.29scanlimehmm!
03:29.46scanlimeI can still hear it, but it's no louder than my fridge now
03:35.11darth_mallhear what? wasabi?

03:35.19scanlimehttp://zero.navi.cx/gallery/micahs-tv/p1010171
03:35.20scanlimeyeah
03:35.40scanlimethat thing that looks like a 50 amp industrial grade power cord is the video cable :P
03:36.13purple_cowscanlime: crazy
03:36.22file[laptop]scanlime: geek.
03:36.34scanlimestill gotta decide if I actually like this solution.. if so I'll find a bookcase or rack of some kind to put all that stuff in
03:38.53darth_mallscanlime: that is so pretty
03:39.49scanlimedarth_mall: it's missing some key pieces of furniture ;)
03:40.03numistscanlime: plasma or lcd?
03:40.06scanlimeand freevo looks really kludgey scaled to 16:9
03:40.07scanlimeplasma
03:40.21numisthehe
03:40.32numistfair enough
03:40.33darth_mallscanlime: yeah, but that tv is super sexy
03:40.37purple_cowfreevo looks really kludgey scaled to anything
03:40.40scanlime:)
03:40.41scanlimeyes
03:41.07numist/clear
03:41.10scanlimedarth_mall: prices are still dropping pretty madly.. just wait til circuit city has another sale
03:41.14darth_mallbut it will be at least one more year before I even get to think about a job that pays me that well
03:41.17scanlimenumist: it definitely won't
03:41.29scanlimeI had some crazy delusion of getting it home in my car
03:41.32numistscanlime: I have a really small car...  I probably couldnt fit my 13" tv in the trunk
03:41.32darth_mallscanlime: even on sale I bet that's out of my price range right now
03:41.42scanlimebut it's much heavier than it looks, and the box it came in was about 3 feet wide
03:41.48numistyikes
03:41.48darth_mallhehe
03:41.57scanlimedarth_mall: probably.. with tax and delivery this ended up costing me just a few dollars over $2000
03:41.58darth_mallsounds like my dad's 30" monitor
03:42.08numistwoof, man
03:42.17numistthats almost as much as I make in an entire month
03:42.26purple_cowdat's junction jack's dwessing room, and dat's the wall, and dat's...eeeeeee.....it's a turtle!
03:42.32scanlime:)
03:42.34numistthen again, Im not working for money, Im working for the hope that this lil company makes it huge
03:42.35scanlimeI love that show
03:42.48scanlimenumist: nod. I shall have to try that someday
03:43.04numistscanlime: nows the time...  theres no point in doing it when you're 30 and need the stability
03:43.10darth_malls/weel/well/
03:43.15scanlimenumist: I had the opportunity to work for a startup instead of vmware, but I wasn't looking forward to being one of only two developers on a project.. I want some really crazy-smart people to learn from
03:43.26numistthats the other thing, I have better bosses at this place than Ive ever had before, or even heard of before
03:43.45scanlimedarth_mall: if you can get in, vmware's awesome.. but they like turning people down :(
03:43.47numistscanlime: that works, I work with 4 crazy smart people
03:43.56scanlimenumist: you got lucky then
03:44.00numistyet somehow I still know more about tsql than the rest :o
03:44.05numistyeah, I got real lucky
03:44.16scanlimemost small companies I see seem to have some weird business idea and a handful of okayish programmers
03:44.17file[laptop]crazy as a coconut
03:44.18numistand the ceo is a fantastic salesman, so we'll see on Thursday if it's time to throw a party
03:44.19darth_mallscanlime: I doubt very much I could get a job there
03:44.30scanlimedarth_mall: :(
03:44.34numistyeah, this is one opportunity I have a lot of faith in
03:44.46numistand I dont have a whole lot of a backup plan, so...  yeah
03:44.56scanlimeEven with this giant video cable I'm getting a little bit of noise.. bet it's the video card itself :(
03:44.59scanlimenice annoying sync wobble
03:45.01file[laptop]I don't need arms
03:46.22scanlimepurple_cow: setups like this are why it's handy to have the mi6k in a separate box :)
03:47.09darth_mallerm... ><
03:47.19scanlimeyep,  I bet you aren't
03:47.44scanlimewoof, star trek looks so blurry

04:32.51scanlimeyep, lookit all that cute
04:32.55kergothnot that i know of, nope
04:32.56darth_malloh wait... I think I'm getting my gregs confused
04:33.06kergothlarson is an awfully common name, and chris is too damn common too
04:33.26darth_mallbut the Greg that looked like you was not Greg Larson
04:33.32kergothah. hehe.
04:42.40numistanyone ever seen this?: http://pranked.hopto.org/
04:48.56scanlimehaha
04:49.27kergothhahaha
04:49.28kergothnice
04:54.49scanlimedamn interlaced video...
04:54.53scanlimeI want progressive-scan futurama!
04:55.03scanlimeneed to figure out how to make xine do smart deinterlacing
04:55.22lurgythere's an option in xine-ui
04:55.24lurgyor there used to be
04:55.36lurgyi thought

07:14.48scanlimegood luck
07:15.03ToyKeeperI wonder how many possible "average" chess games there are.
07:15.26ToyKeeperLike...  how many moves there are in a game, generally, and how many possible moves could be made at each step.
07:16.23ToyKeeperI saw somewhere there are an average of 34 moves per game...  when combined with a high estimate of 50 possible moves each turn, that gives me 34**50 == 5e57.
07:16.30ToyKeeperI was expecting a bigger number.
07:16.49ToyKeeperThat's barely more than the square root of googol.
07:17.24ToyKeeperI'm curious 'cause I was calculating the, uh, problem space...  for Go and haiku.
07:17.55ToyKeeperI got about 1e1800 possible games of Go, with more like 1e500 games of typical length.
07:18.17ToyKeeper... and somewhere around 1e70 - 1e50 possible haiku, including nonsense poems.
07:19.47ChipX86I don't like the sysadmin people. They seem very.. what's the word..
07:19.53ChipX86they act like they're right and there's no room for discussion
07:19.57ChipX86or questioning
07:20.39ToyKeeperI think it's called religion.
07:21.27ToyKeeperSpeaking of which, wanna join my Church of Debian?  :)
07:21.33ChipX86hell no
07:21.39scanlimehaha
07:21.40ChipX86*grumble*
07:21.55ChipX86wonder how long until they decide to set up my account now :P
07:21.56scanlimeToyKeeper: you're going to remove mplayer and libdvdread from everybody's machine?
07:22.37ToyKeeperDarn.  If you had said yes, I might have had a member less than a minute after thinking of the idea.  :)
07:32.35ToyKeeperAnyway, if there's really that much difference in problem space between chess and go, I can see why computers have such trouble with go.
07:32.53ToyKeeperIt's hard to just brute-force your way past hundreds of orders of magnitude.
07:35.49purple_cowToyKeeper: there is that big a difference
07:36.18purple_cowan average game of go is probably a good 200 moves long, and each turn would have an average of approximately 300 choices
07:37.13scanlimeblah, I should be asleep
07:37.15purple_cowoh, i see you've already calculated problem spaces
07:37.24ToyKeeperYup.
07:37.42ToyKeeperI'd guess 500 orders of magnitude difference, between games of average length.
07:37.51ToyKeeperWell, maybe just 300.
07:37.58ToyKeeperBut that's still googol cubed...  which is a lot.

22:41.17kergoths/though/should/
22:43.50scanlimeI swear this windows VM must have about a hundred viruses on it right now

22:45.17scanlime:)
22:46.01kergothexciting widgets you say..
22:56.39scanlimevery exciting
22:56.55scanlimethey're gonna get slashdotted and it will bring sourceforge down!
22:57.05scanlime:P
22:57.31darth_malloh noes!
22:57.34darth_mallnot slashdot!
22:57.43scanlimeoh no, not darth_mall!

23:06.39ChipX86VMware's Incredibly Sexy Widgets
23:08.35TDLOL
23:08.36TDnice
23:08.39TDlike what?
23:08.44TDand what is it with you and widget porn?
23:08.53TDi swear, you have some widget fetish
23:08.54ChipX86s/Sexy/Exciting/
23:09.05TD"phwoar! look at the event handlers on THAT!"
23:09.15TD"oh baby, it's sending ALL the right signals"
23:09.16TDetc
23:10.52ChipX86I meant exciting :) libsexy caused me to say Sexy
23:11.04ChipX86it's most of the cool generic-enough widgets we use in VMware
23:11.12ChipX86like you know the toolbar that slides down in Quickswitch mode?
23:11.23ChipX86there's that, there's a label that can wrap at any width
23:11.41ChipX86a header box widget that matches the theme
23:11.52ChipX86many things
23:11.54TDah, cool
23:12.03TDnice to see vmware contributing back
23:12.05ChipX86it's our actual widgets. We'll be using libview from now on internally
23:12.08TDmaybe some of them can be merged back into GTK+
23:12.12TDwhat license?
23:12.14ChipX86I've been pushing for this for about 8 months, and we finally got everything done
23:12.17ChipX86MIT
23:12.20TDyay! go ChipX86 !
23:12.22TDinteresting
23:12.31ChipX86it's been very much welcomed, all the way up to the top
23:12.32ChipX86nah
23:12.46ChipX86GPL bad for us
23:12.51ChipX86LGPL leads to other issues
23:13.13ChipX86this is the reason I've been talking to lawyers lately :)
23:13.31TDGPL not bad for you
23:13.34TDGPL good for you
23:13.36ChipX86no
23:13.38ChipX86GPL means we must be GPL
23:13.41ChipX86we link to this library
23:13.44TDVMware owns the copyright on it, so you can use whatever license you like for yourself
23:13.49ChipX86but we want others to contribute
23:13.53ChipX86it's a real open source project
23:14.07ChipX86it's not a Linksys-type code dump
23:14.13TDah yes. well, you could ask for copyright assignment, but the commercial value probably isn't all that high
23:14.17TDso yeah MIT seems OK
23:14.24ChipX86we thought about that, but decided it would inconvenience people
23:14.27file[laptop]you should do what Digium does
23:14.33ChipX86we went through every major license and thought about the pros and cons
23:14.39file[laptop]in order to get code into asterisk you have to disclaim it to Digium
23:14.46ChipX86file[laptop]: we didn't want to do that
23:14.50file[laptop]it allows them to use it under their own license
23:14.52ChipX86it discourages people from contributing
23:15.14TDfair enough then
23:15.17TDnothing wrong with MIT
23:15.37file[laptop]it hasn't been too bad with Asterisk
23:15.42ChipX86these are mainly gtkmm widgets
23:15.44file[laptop]it's just, it takes a very long time to get sutff into CVS
23:15.49file[laptop]and there's only two people that do it
23:15.53ChipX86if inkscape has anything they'd like to contribute, or if they'd like to use any of these, that would be cool ;)
23:16.29ChipX86I can't believe we got view.sf.net
23:17.10TDthat's pretty sweet name
23:17.16TDinkscape is still mostly raw C
23:17.25ChipX86it was another one of those me-opening-my-mouth-and-saying-something-stupid things
23:17.26TDthey have been porting to GTKmm but it's slow work
23:17.29TDheh
23:17.33ChipX86we were trying to come up with ab etter name than vmwareGTK
23:17.49ChipX86I said, "View! VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets!"
23:17.54ChipX86my manager jumped up and said, "Yeah!"
23:17.58ChipX86and everyone's like, "That's great!"
23:18.02kergothyay MIT
23:18.06ChipX86Philip checked sourceforge and said it wasn't taken
23:18.11ChipX86so I ran down the halls and registered it
23:18.32ChipX86it's like when I changed our mission statement to say "We create kick-ass user interfaces" on accident
23:18.32file[laptop]ChipX86: you rock!
23:18.50ChipX86opening my mouth and saying stupid things seems to cause things to happen around here :P
23:20.29TDheh. for ChipX86s next trick
23:20.37TD"hey, i just had a great idea. let's open source VMware" ;)
23:20.43ChipX86nope
23:20.48ChipX86there are other things though
23:20.53ChipX86maybe not open source
23:21.10TDi was kidding ;)
23:23.44CIA-5navi-misc: 03evan * r8873 10xchat-gnome/fe-gnome/ (main-window.c navigation-tree.c): Almost finished. It aborts when you're moving down from one server to the next.
23:26.17purple_cowtime to make a pie crust
23:28.02purple_cowargh
23:28.04purple_cowgourmet is broken
23:30.30scanlimehah
23:30.38scanlimefacilities noticed my picture is missing from the directory
23:31.10ChipX86they're checking everbody lately
23:31.19ChipX86because they've solved all other problems here at VMware
23:32.36scanlimeyup
23:32.52scanlimethey took a photo for my badge on my first day.. that was supposed to go on the directory too, but I guess they lost it
23:32.55scanlimeshrug
23:36.36scanlimehm. I doubt I have any pictures of myself I'd want to give them
23:36.57ChipX86tell them it's their own damn fault and stop bothering you while you work
23:37.02scanlimeyeah
23:39.55darth_mallscanlime: you've got plenty of great pictures of yourself
23:39.59darth_mallgive them the one with the flu sticking out of your pants
23:40.03scanlimeheh
23:40.16scanlimepreferably I'd be facing the camera, not looking particularly psychotic
23:40.27scanlimethose kinds of pictures of me just don't exist
23:40.30darth_mallI think that's a fantastic picture
23:40.46scanlimethe linuxworld guy just ignored me when I sent it ;)
23:41.35darth_mallaw
23:41.37darth_malllame
23:46.12CIA-5BZFlag: 03jeffm2501 * 10BZFlagG3D/tools/mapedit/ (4 files in 4 dirs): have object list show id, name, and class of each object
23:47.03darth_mallman I'm sleepy
23:47.18scanlimethirsty..
23:47.41darth_mallthat too
23:49.28scanlimeand I still have this damn headache
23:49.35scanlimethe one I've had since sunday
23:49.56ChipX86:(
23:50.41darth_mallmaybe your TV isn't big enough ;)
23:50.47scanlimehah
23:51.03scanlimeI think this is absolutely the biggest possible TV you'd want in a living room my size
23:51.27darth_mallis it the same size as the largest wall in the room?
23:51.29scanlimeeverything looks smaller when you're in front of a wall full of big-screen TVs
23:51.36scanlimeheh.. not quite
23:51.47darth_mallthen it's not the biggest TV I'd want ^^
23:52.00scanlimebut considering most video content isn't really panoramic in nature, it's nice to be able to see it all
23:52.06darth_mallbut it is probably the biggest TV that would actually be good for me
23:52.20scanlimehehe
23:52.43scanlimeI'll have to bring it with me when I visit ;)
23:52.45scanlimecarry-on
23:52.50ChipX86http://sourceforge.net/projects/view/
23:52.50darth_mallhaha
23:52.57ChipX86libview 0.five-O is released
23:52.58darth_mallI imagine it's too big for carry-on ;)
23:53.03scanlimereally?
23:53.08darth_mallyeah
23:53.10scanlimeI could stand it up in the aisle and hold onto it
23:53.28darth_mallheh
23:53.43scanlimeChipX86: nice
23:53.51scanlime:)
23:53.55ChipX86:)
23:55.50scanlimeuh oh, people might find out our super-sekret coding style from this
23:55.58ChipX86uh oh
23:58.12scanlimehehe
23:58.54numistooh, I need to pack my n64, dont I
23:59.06scanlime:)
23:59.29scanlimeChipX86: nice.. this appears to be pretty efficient too, it's using vram-to-vram blits to move things around rather than having the individual widgets redraw
