00:44.37 Twingy I'm contemplating the train if the new machines get here sean
00:45.44 ctjctj The train?
00:46.16 learner ctjctj, taking the train to siggraph
00:48.10 learner 60 hours of comfortable travel where you can work at least a solid 10 hours every day uninterrupted for 3 days before and after the conference
00:49.08 Twingy do they have a gym?
00:49.29 Twingy and a shower?
00:49.54 Twingy the shower would have to be quite tiny
00:51.08 learner there is a shower, dunno about a gym (doubt it)
00:55.29 Twingy ok
00:55.30 learner a jacuzzi train car would be great
00:55.33 Twingy then I'll run along side the train car
00:55.40 Twingy with some jacuzzi women?
00:55.46 learner you could do laps up and down the train
00:55.48 Twingy I'd take a champagne room over a jacuzzi room
00:56.15 learner you can get champagne
00:57.42 ctjctj Where is siggraph this year?
00:58.17 Twingy my basement
00:59.01 learner L.A.
00:59.22 learner next year is up in boston
00:59.23 ctjctj Dang, that would be a wonderful bike ride.
00:59.51 learner :)

01:18.34 louipc hey folks
01:18.44 learner howdy loui
01:22.19 louipc is there a reason the delete key doesn't work in the command window?
01:26.07 louipc or.. rather why it doesn't delete to the right of the cursor
01:32.43 learner as silly as it sounds, I don't think anyone has ever seriously requested that
01:39.26 learner either that, or some technical reason related to solaris keyboards
01:39.54 ctjctj It comes from the fact that the "delete" character use to be used interchangably with the backspace key.
01:39.56 learner delete and backspace are often reversed character codes on some systems
01:40.08 louipc ah hehe
01:40.10 ctjctj I.e. ctrl-h and 0x7f were treated the same.
01:40.33 ctjctj The reason for that was that some keyboards generated 0x08 for the backspace key and others generated 0x7f.
01:40.47 learner it's easy enough to have it forward-delete
01:41.00 learner if you enable vi-mode, it behaves that way
01:41.39 louipc ah
01:42.01 louipc I'm more familiar with the emacs keys
01:42.07 ctjctj Part of what we have to deal with is code written 20 years ago that is still great.
01:42.13 louipc not that I know much though hehe
01:42.54 louipc hey I'd be glad to help you guys... probably with non programming tasks maybe the website and stuff
01:43.07 learner help's always welcome :)
01:43.09 ctjctj learner, it will not affect anybody until some 4 star is getting a demo in a vault and the delete key "doesn't work right"
01:43.22 louipc what's BRL-CAD licensed under now anyways?
01:44.41 learner louipc, it's a large code base so different portions are licensed accordingly -- for the most part, the lgpl covers the libraries; gpl covers the binariesl bsd covers the build infrastructure, regression tests, and benchmark suite
01:45.12 louipc ah wow
01:46.33 louipc I guess its clear in the source code what's covered by what?
01:46.43 learner pretty much
01:47.22 learner the bsd files have their license embedded, there's a license header on most all the sources (should be on everything)
01:47.32 learner the COPYING file goes into a little more detail
01:48.25 learner http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/brlcad/brlcad/COPYING?rev=HEAD
01:50.45 learner for what it's worth, the delete key binding only affects the tclified mged -- it's unbound in classic mode
01:51.35 learner so I'd bet it's mainly because bob is a solaris keyboard nut where the keys are reversed
01:53.15 learner oh, it's getting it
01:53.28 learner inserting gibbrish when you press delete
01:53.34 learner ~7 or somesuch
01:54.12 learner ahh, it's inserting 3~
02:31.08 learner ahh, I think the reason it's set to backwards delete is far more simple than presumed -- the default mged keybinding mode is emacs bindings.. the default binding for delete in emacs is a backwards delete
02:31.51 learner aside from that probably being one of the first bindings users override when they start making their own .emacs.. :)
02:33.07 learner good to know, not that it really matters much
02:40.33 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/tclscripts/mged/text.tcl: comment on the fact that delete being bound to backwards delete by default matches default emacs bindings

15:27.53 brlcad for some browsers that client is workable, for others it's a pain
15:28.08 brlcad better to use a real irc client for prolonged use ;)
15:28.19 louipc yeah definitely
15:28.36 louipc for some reason I can't connect with a real one at school here
15:29.48 brlcad ahh, probably blocked
15:30.00 brlcad you'd have to ssh to somewhere not blocked
15:52.36 louipc know any places where I could get free ssh access?
16:03.49 louipc take it easy folks
