03:48.59 Maloeran That was sad, meeting a man of ~50y obsessed with chess in a cafe, carrying books filled with notes and knowing openings and styles in depth. I feel bad for beating him 3 times in a row
03:54.44 IriX64 nytol :)
04:17.49 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/ (4 files in 2 dirs): do as the comment suggests and move the htester.c test application that exercises the host to network floating point functions from libbn to libbu
04:23.02 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/libbu/Makefile.am: enable compilation of htester, not installed though

15:54.01 brlcad Maloeran: there are rooms available at the University Guest House
15:54.17 brlcad you have to ask for the "Ray Tracing Conference"
15:55.26 Maloeran Ah!... That's not exactly the answer I got from their online form
15:55.30 Maloeran You called?
16:02.06 Maloeran I'm guessing the rooms are specifically reserved for the Ray-tracing conference, so one must ask for it specifically by phone
16:26.30 brlcad most hotels aren't set up well for on-line registration, especially for business travel and conferences or most any special accommodations
16:42.59 Maloeran So I realize. Thanks
16:43.13 ``Erik heh
16:44.11 Maloeran Erik, http://mcarp.earthstorm.com/reel/rotter-lowe/index.php?showimage=rotter-lowe-056.jpg&screenwidth=1600
16:44.35 Maloeran Looks like the exterior will be completed soon
16:45.07 brlcad woot, all registered and taken care of now
16:46.11 ``Erik swank
16:48.05 ``Erik http://www.sci.utah.edu/RT06/venue.html#bars w00t
16:48.52 brlcad almost picked the monaco because of that :)
16:49.01 brlcad where you staying at ``Erik ?
16:49.07 ``Erik guest house
16:49.09 ``Erik lee is, too
16:50.54 ``Erik <-- shoulda given you our flight info, heh
16:53.09 Maloeran It's going to be a 14 hours flight with 2 stops for me, fun :)
16:53.59 Maloeran I'll arrive in the night of 16 to 17 too, I don't feel like arriving at 3h in the morning after 14 hours of travel to sleep 3 hours before a conference
16:55.51 ``Erik heh, my 5 hr nonstop flight looks postiively thrilling compared to that :)
16:58.25 Maloeran PHL->SLC? Lucky
17:03.03 ``Erik bwi->slc, actually
17:03.27 Maloeran I am impressed
17:03.54 Maloeran Montreal -> Philadelphia -> Las Vegas -> Salt Lake City
17:04.02 ``Erik heh
17:04.16 ``Erik <-- stepped back and let an expert figure out his travel *shrug*
17:04.18 Maloeran A 5 hours wait at Las Vegas, I might have time to look around
17:04.52 ``Erik security in us airports is a long painful process...
17:06.02 Maloeran I know that. I don't think I told you that they took my bicycle out of its box last time, put it back all wrong ( the cardbord box had non-planar surfaces ), and covered it with tape "Inspected by the department of homeland security"
17:06.27 Maloeran There's no damage though
17:11.42 ``Erik "ask for a goldfish" O.o
17:12.13 ``Erik that's right, you flew out of bwi... heh
17:12.23 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (i=clock@84-72-88-219.dclient.hispeed.ch)
17:12.27 ``Erik I'm not sure how easy it is to leave the airport and get back in during a layover :/
17:12.51 Maloeran I didn't fly out of bwi on that day :)
17:12.56 ``Erik many many years ago, it was a simple matter, people left to airport all the time to sightsee or visit friends :/
17:13.08 ``Erik oh? philly?
17:13.15 Maloeran The plane was delayed, I was going to miss the next one, so they sent me to Dulles but my luggage went to Philadelphia without me
17:13.25 ``Erik heh
17:13.26 Maloeran Then my cab had battery problems on the way...
17:13.31 ``Erik sweet
17:13.34 ``Erik I'd not heard this
17:13.49 Maloeran I shared the details in #siggraph the following day, not a pleasant experience :)
17:14.11 Maloeran I arrived in Montreal 16 hours later without my luggage
17:14.55 Maloeran 16 hours after I arrived 5 hours early at the airport anyway
17:23.03 brlcad arriving on the 16th? that'd be cool, considered it
17:23.17 brlcad but why not 17th? no flights?
17:23.40 Maloeran The only way I could arrive on the 17th would be at 3h in the morning of the 18th
17:24.07 Maloeran All the flight options took over 12 hours for me
17:24.26 brlcad hmmm
17:27.37 brlcad wow, so it is.. not many flights from ymq or yul
17:29.07 brlcad one nice thing about the area here, bwi is a major route for most and if that doesn't work there's dulles and reagan airports in DC
17:30.36 Maloeran Oh? I seem to always have to go through phl to reach bwi from Montreal
17:34.01 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz * 10brlcad/src/librt/nmg_misc.c: calloc needed to provide initialization of unused/unset bot parameters (i.e. normals)
17:36.28 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03jlowenz * 10brlcad/src/conv/g-nmg.c: copy the color table from input to output, so colors render properly in converted file
18:41.05 ``Erik yeah, canada sucks
18:41.08 ``Erik "america jr" :D
18:42.16 ``Erik syrup :)
18:42.35 Maloeran I reserved at the guest house from the 16th to 18th, I'll have to find something else for the following days... or hopefully someone will cancel to free a room
18:42.53 ``Erik are you on the waiting list for 19/20 ?
18:43.26 Maloeran Hum, no?
18:43.34 Maloeran At least I don't think so
18:45.34 ``Erik perhaps tomorrow you should ask
18:45.40 ``Erik you're flying out tonight?
18:47.12 Maloeran Tomorrow morning
18:47.45 Maloeran Arriving in the night from 16 to 17, at 3 am
18:51.41 Maloeran 75 people for the conference? Now that's low
18:52.25 brlcad roughly what I would have expected for this being first year and all
18:53.00 brlcad most of the acm symposiums are not much bigger really, siggraph is the main "enormous" one
18:53.35 brlcad also being the general distinction between the symposiums and conferences, the prior being smaller
18:57.03 ``Erik ah ha, a calendar on acm.org
18:57.04 ``Erik *read*
18:57.22 ``Erik oh, nice... 9/18/06-9/20/05 ...
18:58.09 Maloeran Something tells me it's going to be difficult to attend that one
18:58.42 ``Erik ah, they call their good confs "pldi" and "popl"
19:12.38 Maloeran I'm still dreaming of tackling raytracing hardware with whoever will be interested, Prasad sure seemed to be
19:40.24 Maloeran Question : Why would CVS list about every file of a project as "Modified files" when commiting, while many definitely haven't been touched at all?
19:40.37 Maloeran Does it rely on the time stamp?
19:41.50 brlcad if they're marked as M then they are somehow different, likely whitespace might have changed
19:42.19 brlcad cvs diff one of the files
19:43.00 brlcad if cvs diff -b -B shows nothing, then something is changing the whitespace in the file
19:43.03 Maloeran Doesn't print anything on stdout for these files
19:44.23 Maloeran I copied the whole dir on laptop and back to work at a cafe, it's the only unusual event I can think of
19:44.42 ``Erik heh, the timestamps would throw a M
19:45.07 Maloeran Any way to prevent this? No big deal, but that isn't too pretty in the logs
19:45.38 brlcad hm, i haven't seen timestamps cause that kind of problem in years, though all my machines are timesynced these days too
19:45.57 ``Erik if you're sure everything is all good, "cvs -z3 update -ACPdr" might do it?
19:46.13 ``Erik you also don't go around arbitrarily "touch"ing files, right, sean? ;)
19:46.21 ``Erik oops
19:46.24 ``Erik cvs -z3 update -ACPdR
19:46.30 brlcad actually I do sometimes, to affect how it builds
19:46.40 brlcad and that still doesn't screw with cvsage
19:46.44 Maloeran What would that do? Just making sure that won't remove hours of work or anything.. :)
19:46.45 ``Erik cvs backed files?
19:47.08 ``Erik it'll force a total checkout, and create a lot of (hopefully identical) .# files
19:47.28 Maloeran I copied the directory by scp so time stamps are of course all off
19:47.31 Maloeran No way to rely on diff and just ignore time stamps?
19:47.39 ``Erik hrmmm
19:47.48 ``Erik I just touched a file to fuck the timestamp and tried an update, no M on it
19:47.52 ``Erik guess my guess was wrong :/
19:48.05 ``Erik cvs diff it, dude *shrug* :)
19:48.35 brlcad does one of the systems use a different EOL?
19:48.44 Maloeran No, the files are identical
19:48.53 brlcad not the file, the system
19:49.05 Maloeran Both Linux
19:49.10 Maloeran Even files of 0 bytes are identified as modified
19:49.26 brlcad what does cvs status say?
19:49.32 brlcad and what version of cvs are you using?
19:49.46 Maloeran 1.12.11
19:50.20 brlcad cvs status somefile
19:50.28 brlcad does it say "locally modified"?
19:50.34 Maloeran cvs status is eating some bandwidth, working on the binary models surely
19:50.48 brlcad another possibility is that your CVS dirs are horked somehow
19:51.06 Maloeran Status: Up-to-date
19:51.12 brlcad like if you copied files from one system to another, but didn't copy the corresponding CVS dirs
19:51.32 brlcad heh, that's not M then
19:51.34 Maloeran I really copied everything, scp -r
19:51.36 brlcad cvs update again
19:51.41 Maloeran cvs commit disagrees :)
19:51.52 brlcad you have to update before a commit
19:52.27 brlcad it'll say M on an update if you receive a modification as well
19:52.43 brlcad so you do it twice and it'll say M the first time but not the second
19:53.19 Maloeran Right, I didn't update as I'm the only one working on this
19:55.06 Maloeran Thanks Shawn and Erik
19:55.50 Maloeran Oops :)
19:55.58 brlcad spells the right one wrong and the wrong one right ;)
19:58.45 ``Erik wow, I'm retarded
19:59.18 brlcad and that's the power of positive thinking
19:59.59 ``Erik missing break; in a switch, heh
20:00.04 ``Erik hurrrrrrr *drool*
20:02.32 Maloeran Eheh
20:23.20 Maloeran You use int80? :) That's unexpected
20:41.04 ``Erik well
20:41.17 ``Erik I'm writing a compiler for a turing tarpit language to do some theory crap with
20:41.24 ``Erik and I have the frontend all buttoned up
20:41.43 ``Erik and I have a modular optimizer... and a backend that produces C code
20:41.55 ``Erik now I'm working on one that produces ia32 code (fbsd)
20:41.59 ``Erik well
20:42.06 ``Erik ia32 at&t asm, for as(1)
20:42.13 ``Erik then I'll do one that generates machine code, I suppose
20:42.35 Maloeran Oh, just rely on as, assembly encoding is a mess
20:42.47 ``Erik um, I know, I've done it before
20:43.03 ``Erik wrote (most of) an x86 assembler before, too
20:44.14 Maloeran And I did abundant self-modifying code and procedurally generated opcodes in my younger days
20:44.22 ``Erik (just cuz I don't think asm is good for app programming doesn't mean I don't know how to use it or never use it..)
20:44.26 ``Erik hehehe, I did those on the c64's
20:44.27 ``Erik fun stuff
20:45.00 Maloeran :) I spent months working on the Warcraft 2 executable and data files in order to tweak the game
20:45.51 ``Erik ooh, license violations, ... :D
20:46.20 Maloeran Oh hum, oops? :) That sure was long ago
20:47.14 ``Erik in the name of education
