| 00:05.48 | narnia | actually his full name is johann strauss. |
| 00:11.38 | brlcad | yes, did you hear my follow up before getting disconnected? |
| 00:13.13 | brlcad | i was taking it to mean the distance from torus center to toroidal inner edge, not from the center of the ring itself which is what you were referring to |
| 00:14.12 | brlcad | not that I know why I get confused.. brl-cad uses the same definition, I've just always thought of it the other way around since there's no chance for degenerates other than zero-length radius |
| 00:38.44 | brlcad | the scheduled sf.net changes sound impressive.. |
| 01:21.48 | PrezKennedy | so when can we be expecting a windows variant? |

| 02:39.17 | learner | PrezKennedy: not too far off actually |
| 03:57.48 | learner | ideas on a good BoF title? |
| 03:58.08 | learner | right now, I'm at "BRL-CAD Open Source Solid Modeling" |
| 04:13.25 | Twingy | open source pizza |
| 04:15.22 | learner | hmm.. the way open source works, that'd be one messed up pizza |
| 04:15.53 | learner | pepperoni, cheese, onions, legos, cheerios, donuts, taco sauce |
| 04:27.15 | Twingy | mmm legos |

| 04:43.57 | narnia | well at least now i know what caused johann to crash. |
| 04:44.15 | learner | oh? |
| 04:44.21 | narnia | the latest debian version of ethereal is causing the crashes. |
| 04:44.51 | narnia | i fired ethereal right before the earlier crash. |
| 04:45.15 | narnia | i fired it up about an hour ago and johann locked right up. |
| 04:45.30 | learner | nice |
| 04:45.40 | narnia | fscking nearly a terabyte of disk space takes awhile. |
| 04:46.57 | learner | the blessings of journaling filesystems |
| 04:47.13 | learner | i don't think I've waited on an fsck in ages.. |
| 04:55.18 | narnia | which filesystem do you use? |
| 04:55.54 | learner | hfs+ on the mac systems |
| 04:56.15 | learner | ext3 and reiser on the linux/bsd boxes |
| 04:56.51 | learner | all three are journalable |
| 04:57.13 | narnia | johann is running ext3 on most drives. i forced e2fsck -C 0 -f <fsys> |
| 04:57.31 | learner | ahh |
| 04:58.10 | learner | ext3 is probably the "worst" of the three, but it does usually work at preventing data loss |
| 04:58.13 | narnia | two crashes in 24 hrs has made me a bit paranoid. |
| 04:58.48 | learner | better put, I've not seen it lose any data -- I've seen it force an fsck itself when it detects something the journal can't handle |
| 04:59.11 | learner | but then the other two supposedly will do that too (just less likely) |
| 05:00.43 | narnia | i spent yesterday, thursday, rewriting the parser. |
| 05:00.49 | learner | almost a terabyte? of what? |
| 05:00.58 | narnia | disk space. |
| 05:01.15 | learner | I have over half, and that's a lot of room for a single users that doesn't generate much video |
| 05:01.23 | narnia | or are you asking what i have stored on the terabyte? |
| 05:01.26 | learner | i mean, what's the content |
| 05:01.40 | learner | that's a _lot_ of pr0n |
| 05:02.52 | narnia | well let me see. i ripped all my cd's to the disks. (500+) i ripped all of buffy the vampire slayer to disk. i ripped all of angel ( the buffy spinoff ) to disk. numerous software projects. several mysql databases. |
| 05:03.08 | narnia | no pr0n here. never. |
| 05:03.12 | learner | ahh, so you do have video |
| 05:03.38 | narnia | i got tired of changing the dvds. |
| 05:04.03 | learner | i'd fill up my disks fast if I ripped all my dvds.. it's on the "to do" list, but I don't want to set up the disks I'd need yet |
| 05:04.23 | narnia | my middle daughter's graphics art stuff. and numerous commericials she made. |
| 05:05.05 | learner | i can understand it easily with video |
| 05:05.24 | learner | even graphics work, which I've done quite a bit of |
| 05:05.47 | learner | I work on high-resolution old image restorations |
| 05:06.05 | learner | where a single image might be over a gigabyte in size easy |
| 05:13.05 | narnia | the middle daughter, is restoring her grandparents photographs. some where glass plate. |
| 05:15.44 | learner | I been involved with something similar with my family |
| 05:18.26 | learner | oldest pictures go back to about the mid 1800's, printed on metal -- tintypes |
| 05:18.46 | learner | somewhere around my 4th great grandparents |
| 05:19.32 | learner | I've been scanning, cataloging, interviewing, repairing pictures, researching |
| 05:33.04 | narnia | i had an url for a guy who built a 6 disk drive firewire raid external enclosure for his mac. i cannot find it at the moment. i would like to build one lord willing i ever get some form of a settlement. |
| 05:33.21 | narnia | it was 6 250gb drives. |
| 05:46.06 | narnia | ptl found it. here is the url. http://vader.inow.com/~drbob/fwcase.html |
| 05:52.07 | learner | mm.. that'd be even more nice with 6 of the 400gb's you can get now |
| 05:52.14 | learner | ~6 * 400 |
| 05:52.34 | ibot | 2400 |
| 05:52.44 | learner | wow, that took a while |
| 05:53.27 | learner | ~275 * 6 |
| 05:53.38 | ibot | 1650 |
| 05:53.38 | narnia | i would be a bit worried about the heat. need some good fans to supply air flow. |
| 05:54.07 | learner | for a mere $1.7k you too can have 2.4 TB of disk space |
| 05:56.45 | narnia | that is a lot less expensive than purchasing something from say lacie. |
| 06:10.24 | narnia | did you happen to see my question the othe rday about pdes? |

| 14:39.40 | narnia | if an entity instance is syntactical correct but is invalidated because one or more local 'where' rules are violated ( nothing worse than a violated where. ;-) ) should 0. this be a fatal blow to the conversion give the end-user some obscure error message ( you should have brought a towel with you. bye ) and bail out. or 1. ignore this entity instance and all references to it and continue on. |
| 14:41.49 | narnia | other possible error messages are: 'phase of the moon is wrong. bye' 'well i never! bye' 'coffee, need coffee.' |
| 15:03.35 | narnia | my favorite 'you want me to do what?' |
| 17:31.57 | brlcad | hehe |
| 17:32.44 | brlcad | as a library, probably the option to do either.. the actual converter should decide whether it's fatal if the library can tell it something really bad happened |
