| 16:15.21 | ``Erik | hm, prasad's not here |
| 16:31.40 | brlcad | astute observation |
| 16:31.59 | ``Erik | <-- has a stupid question for the boy |
| 16:32.18 | brlcad | is there any other sort that he can handle? |
| 16:32.24 | ``Erik | (here as in 'in channel', not geographically) |
| 16:32.34 | ``Erik | ummm, actually, there may be some :) |
| 16:33.00 | ``Erik | just gotta ask up his alley... he was horribly misapplied on that team. |
| 16:33.27 | brlcad | you mean, questions about burning itching and open sores? |
| 16:34.18 | ``Erik | some kinds of hardware questions, actually o.O |
| 16:34.25 | ``Erik | (in a mood? usually I'm the asshole... :D ) |
| 16:35.06 | brlcad | in a good mood |
| 16:35.11 | brlcad | he's just an easy target |
| 16:35.14 | ``Erik | true |
| 16:35.17 | ``Erik | are you on site today/ |
| 16:35.21 | brlcad | nope |
| 16:35.25 | ``Erik | ah |
| 16:35.32 | ``Erik | <-- half tempted to go get a beer o.O |
| 16:37.09 | ``Erik | just don't give teh google any cookies. heh |
| 16:38.18 | ``Erik | woop |
| 16:38.20 | ``Erik | s |
| 16:46.14 | ``Erik | holy crap, the dmg for xcode 2.4.1 is 923 megs |
| 16:47.55 | brlcad | nice |
| 16:50.04 | *** join/#brlcad b0ef (n=b0ef@084202024060.customer.alfanett.no) | |
| 16:52.22 | ``Erik | on the fileserver in /r/Darwin/ if you want... |
| 16:52.56 | brlcad | aiight |
| 16:53.17 | ``Erik | (still copying... give it a few minutes) |
| 19:30.29 | Maloeran | http://goddess.selfip.com/random/Motivation/Courage.jpg |
| 19:36.45 | ``Erik | cute poster, and every good robot dies some day :/ |
| 19:42.13 | dtidrow | it's offically dead now? |
| 19:42.16 | dtidrow | bummer |
| 19:46.50 | Maloeran | They'll try to contact it from Rover on the surface but the odds are very poor |
| 19:48.49 | dtidrow | yeah |
| 19:49.47 | dtidrow | it's been living on borrowed time for a while now, anyway - it's lasted five times longer than originally planned for |
| 20:23.36 | ``Erik | O.o |
| 20:52.05 | brlcad | yeah, had a great run |
| 20:55.36 | brlcad | Maloeran: the presentation was a hit, your proggie was one of the highlights of the show too |
| 20:55.45 | brlcad | thanks for your help with the screenshot and datum |
| 20:58.41 | brlcad | there was a fare bit of mildly decent discussions about the tradeoffs and considerations of the high speed tracing for analysis purposes |
| 21:02.31 | brlcad | i'll post up the presentation in a week or two after it's more comprehensively reviewed and polished for your to see unless you'd like to see it as is now fouo |
| 21:11.11 | ``Erik | did it get taped? |
| 21:11.57 | brlcad | no, DoD audience |
| 21:12.26 | ``Erik | ah, heh |
| 21:12.31 | brlcad | mostly jaspo, jtcg, army, navy, air force, nasa |
| 21:12.46 | brlcad | +contractors |
| 21:13.26 | ``Erik | oh, uh, so the gist of the presentation, given the audience, is "we can make it go faster. <silent pause> The End." |
| 21:13.43 | ``Erik | O:-) |
| 21:14.58 | brlcad | even higher level than that sorta |
| 21:16.08 | brlcad | here's what brl-cad is, here's how it fits in to the big pictures, here's some stuff it can do, here's something else called adrt, here's something else even faster called rayforce, here's the tradeoffs when you deal with raytracing and analyses, here are some pretty pictures and graphs, etc |
| 21:16.16 | ``Erik | but converting it to cocoa would probably be a major hassle |
| 21:16.33 | brlcad | nothing wrong with carbon |
| 21:16.54 | ``Erik | well, klugy c++ pushing it, and I don't know it and have no references on it |
| 21:16.56 | brlcad | it's the way to go if you want to control the run loop tightly |
| 21:17.37 | ``Erik | heh, the part that needs control is gui free in a thread, the gui just requests it do t hings by putting events in its queue... |
| 21:18.24 | ``Erik | which is good, I like that, that's how I tend to design guis for things where performance is a concern |
| 21:18.54 | ``Erik | so I think the gui COULD be awfully loose, cocoa would make it cleaner and easier for me :/ |
| 21:31.44 | ``Erik | bahhhh |
| 22:29.21 | Maloeran | Nice brlcad, I'm glad to hear it! |
| 22:30.22 | Maloeran | I wouldn't have expected this kind of visual demonstration to be of any interest to non-technical persons, it's so far beyond gpu rasterization in eye-candyness |
| 22:33.28 | Maloeran | far behind* :) |

| 22:40.29 | brlcad | Maloeran: I can usually put a pretty good spin during a presentation, put things into terms that non-technical people understand |
| 22:41.02 | brlcad | get them impressed, perhaps even excited |
| 22:41.19 | brlcad | depends on the material, prep, and context of course ;) |
| 22:41.46 | Maloeran | *nods* Great, I can't do that :). Even Mark struggled to understand my overview of the raytracer techniques |
| 22:42.54 | Twingy | if you can get people excited then viagra might try to buy you out |
| 22:44.50 | brlcad | and'd I'd sell |
| 22:45.21 | brlcad | cash out early |
| 22:45.32 | Twingy | cash out while you're still up? *grin* |
| 22:46.18 | Twingy | mal, who do you report to at survice now? |
| 22:47.24 | Maloeran | Still Mark but he's supposed to move to Patuxent River ( or something like that ) soon, to be replaced by... Tony Krauss I remember that correctly |
| 22:47.35 | Maloeran | +if I remember |
| 22:49.12 | Maloeran | Out of curiosity, do you know this Tony? |
| 22:51.48 | Twingy | I know a Tony the Tiger, but I dunno a Krauss |
| 22:55.00 | Maloeran | Oh, might be the same one then. Any updates on Lee's potential leave? |
| 22:56.45 | Twingy | you're asking me? hehe |
