MinuteElectron |
brlcad: back |
16:57.36 |
MinuteElectron |
brlcad: wow! looking good |
16:58.45 |
brlcad |
it should collapse down to about 1024 wide
minimum with the right css |
16:59.08 |
elite01 |
fine |
16:59.17 |
MinuteElectron |
it is 1200x600 |
16:59.48 |
brlcad |
right, at 1200 now in that clip, but it should
compress further |
16:59.55 |
MinuteElectron |
ok |
17:00.13 |
MinuteElectron |
you have two images? |
17:01.20 |
brlcad |
the right side should be able to move in/out
almost all the way over -- where the search and menu come together
probably |
17:01.26 |
brlcad |
two images? |
17:01.34 |
MinuteElectron |
ok, I get it |
17:02.32 |
brlcad |
there are probably 4 or 5 css-layers in there
to make it work |
17:03.39 |
brlcad |
the logo text, the left background, the right
background, the left search, and the right menu |
17:04.19 |
MinuteElectron |
the logo text is going to be
seperate? |
17:04.26 |
MinuteElectron |
it would be easier to make it par tof hte
image |
17:05.12 |
brlcad |
then it won't compress much more than
1200 |
17:05.29 |
brlcad |
to get the right side to slide under the left
without seeing a hard line |
17:05.53 |
MinuteElectron |
hmm, ok |
17:06.00 |
brlcad |
i mean unless you can sort it out, good luck
with that :) |
17:06.10 |
MinuteElectron |
:D |
17:06.11 |
brlcad |
the css is the hard part ;) |
17:06.22 |
brlcad |
there's lots of little detail in
ther |
17:06.25 |
MinuteElectron |
do you have the original photoshop files so i
can get the layers out of it? |
17:06.30 |

17:06.36 |

what's that? |

17:32.38 |
MinuteElectron |
On resolutions 1024x768 it looks
good |
17:32.50 |
MinuteElectron |
but anything lower then the truck gets
cut. |
17:34.09 |
brlcad |
that's what I was referring to about making
the title text a separate layer |
17:34.30 |
MinuteElectron |
oh I see, |
17:34.35 |
brlcad |
makes that line go away |
17:34.36 |
MinuteElectron |
working on it |
17:35.01 |
brlcad |
three layers, so the right side is above the
left's background but under the left's text |
17:35.56 |
brlcad |
did gimp strip out the text layer effects or'd
you do that? |
17:36.17 |
MinuteElectron |
it was gimp |
17:36.26 |
MinuteElectron |
coudl you send me the text in a png |
17:36.29 |
brlcad |

17:38.05 |

17:45.02 |

that should be the only blend going on if i'm
not mistaken |
17:48.46 |

ah, xyz needs it's own layer too to work
right |

18:15.59 |

18:16.08 |
poolio |
brlcad: cool, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the
tan navigation though |
18:16.30 |
poolio |
and I'd float the search box into the header
instead of having it stick down |
18:16.54 |
brlcad |
the color was pulled from the eagle logo
frame |
18:17.05 |
poolio |
Yeah, I still think it's ugly though
:) |
18:17.22 |
poolio |
and if you aren't using the eagle logo in the
header it doesnt really matter |
18:17.27 |
AchiestDragon |
hmm |
18:17.46 |
poolio |
i think a more purple-blue-grey theme would be
better |
18:17.49 |
brlcad |
yeah, more just a nod to it than a
reason |
18:17.53 |
poolio |
yeah |
18:18.07 |
brlcad |
which matched up nicely color-wise with the
truck and the green |
18:18.12 |
IriX64 |
minuteelectron, my server same.jpg both in
one |
18:18.27 |
AchiestDragon |
not so shure , the old logo looks a bit too
military based , the new one looks like well home made |
18:18.52 |
MinuteElectron |
IriX64: Yeah, that is how it is meant to
look. |
18:19.19 |
brlcad |
i'm not entirely happy with the menu itself
yet, but it's something |
18:19.38 |
poolio |
brlcad: mhmm. I'm really picky when it comes
to web design :) |
18:20.10 |
AchiestDragon |
the truck needs to have perspective turned
on |
18:21.13 |
brlcad |
AchiestDragon: yeah, I'm actually trying to
get away from the whole military feel just a little. not loosing
the logo, but pushing it out of the spotlight a little |
18:21.53 |
brlcad |
poolio: you're more than welcome to tweak it
or come up with another menu :) |
18:22.00 |
AchiestDragon |
ues the old logo as a door image on the side
of the truck |
18:22.52 |
IriX64 |
brlcad: perhaps a photon map shot of havoc
somewhere just to show the power inherent |
18:23.13 |
poolio |
brlcad: hehe. can I do it on the
clock? |
18:23.50 |
brlcad |
poolio: after this summer, sure :) |
18:24.15 |
AchiestDragon |
yes , that i think is the problem with the new
logo the effect is shows is not rendered it gives the impression
that the output of brlcad will look like that |
18:24.26 |
poolio |
brlcad: hehe, should I keep beset as my first
priority then? |
18:24.41 |
poolio |
brlcad: also, is your my.brlcad.org/tmp
directory supposed to be world readable? |
18:25.07 |
brlcad |
AchiestDragon: by logo do you mean the title
text? |
18:25.18 |
AchiestDragon |
no the graphics with it |
18:25.34 |
brlcad |
not sure what you mean then |
18:25.44 |
brlcad |
I generated all the graphics from within
brl-cad |
18:26.18 |
poolio |
brlcad: AHAHHA. http://my.brlcad.org/tmp/endofworld.swf |
18:26.37 |
brlcad |
only thing I didn't is the menu and the
BRL-CAD title text .. and I could have done the title text too, but
that would have been a bear to set up the same lighting
hilights |
18:26.53 |
brlcad |
poolio: yeah, that's great |
18:26.53 |
AchiestDragon |
i mean the graphis you used show the wire
frame , and half transparancy , rather than a solid rnedered photon
view in perspective |
18:27.43 |
brlcad |
it's a blend of a wireframe, an hidden line
render, and a regular raytrace |
18:29.13 |
brlcad |
there's actually a point for that too -- the
progression of primitives on the left to more complex read geometry
on the right |
18:29.14 |
poolio |
brlcad: i think I might get some work done,
try to figure out how to deal with all the different shapes and
trees and what not |
18:29.36 |
poolio |
brlcad: what shapes do you think should be
implemented for starters? spheres/ellipsoids, rpp, and anything
else? |
18:31.57 |
brlcad |
conics (tgc family), ellipsoids (ell family),
planar polyhedra (arb8 family), and the torus |
18:32.13 |
brlcad |
that will give most shapes |
18:32.18 |
poolio |
alright cool. is rpp part of the arb8
family? |
18:32.22 |
brlcad |
yeah |
18:32.41 |
poolio |
alright, and are there sub shapes for arb8 or
is rpp just an alias for a specialized arb8? |
18:33.05 |
brlcad |
sort of an alias |
18:33.29 |
brlcad |
they are stored as arb8's but are evaluated as
rpps (as you can do the ray-tracing faster that way) |
18:34.28 |
MinuteElectron |
That end of the world video is
hilarious. |
18:34.34 |
poolio |
ah Ok. Also I might end up working with the
tcl strings for the shapes, seems like that means a lot less work
for me |
18:35.03 |
brlcad |
just like how the equation of an rcc
(cylindrical tube) is very simple so that is used for evaluation,
whereas the general equation of that shape is a truncated general
cone (that is slightly more complex to evaluate) |
18:37.51 |
MinuteElectron |
brlcad: I have a problem. |
18:38.04 |
MinuteElectron |
I am about to start doing the CSS for the
navigation bar, |
18:38.36 |
MinuteElectron |
however the class identifiers could change
when druapl is installed for real |

AchiestDragon, nice, my current wallpaper
:) |
18:43.00 |
IriX64 |
AchiestDragon I think I like yours
better |
18:43.20 |
AchiestDragon |
it shows of what can be done better than
showing of the low qualaty working view |
18:45.17 |
IriX64 |
AchiestDragon, it's too small for wallpaper,
stretches out of proportion |
18:46.07 |
AchiestDragon |
the width of the image is limited as it is
only a section of the image on your site so not hi res

AchiestDragon: hehe, though if you knew the
setup required for that image... it's a bit more misleading than
blended renderings effort-wise :) |
18:52.21 |
AchiestDragon |
yes |
18:52.37 |
brlcad |
personally, i'm a bit tired of that image too
:) |
18:52.56 |
brlcad |
though I certainly see and show it a bit more
than you probably :) |
18:53.31 |
AchiestDragon |
but the renderings used dont show of the
realistic effect that brlcad can produce , although i tend to
aggree that that himage has been arround for some time |
18:54.05 |
AchiestDragon |
any user submitted image that comes close to
the "realistic effect" with good detail that could be
used |

it was a blender file that i exported then
imported into brlcad some time ago |
19:10.58 |
AchiestDragon |
i dont have the name of the original author of
that but its gpl and if it was to be used it would need his name
for the credits |

19:16.22 |
IriX64 |
AchiestDragon, thought you were going to give
me geometry :) |
19:16.34 |
AchiestDragon |
alot of the meshes turned into arrays of

well bot hmged and archer dont work on this pc
:( so canot try atm |
21:30.46 |

I haven't played with archer yet |
21:31.12 |
AchiestDragon |
was hoping archer would of been running in

21:31.24 |
IriX64 |
superior to mged? |
21:32.07 |
brlcad |
in some ways, not in others |
21:32.23 |
IriX64 |
noted will explore later |
21:32.27 |
AchiestDragon |
it looked an easyer interface to use when i
saw it last , ok so got to be about 2 years back |
21:32.29 |
brlcad |
AchiestDragon: patches welcome ;) |
21:32.42 |
brlcad |
I'd give just about anyone commit access if
they wanted to work on it ;) |
21:33.02 |
brlcad |
is mostly build integration issues, not even
archer issues for the most part |

it's just been low on the totem pole |

i may have a go , but need to sort out my
graphic card config first ,, got to remove one of the cards and get
the system to boot without resorting to some od config each
time |
21:35.41 |
AchiestDragon |
theres a matrox g200 quad head and a g550 dual
head card in here , the quad card is driving 2 lcd's and the dual
just the one , but it forgets the xconfig after power on |
21:36.23 |
AchiestDragon |
i have to manualy edit it and restart x after
each power on |
21:37.29 |
AchiestDragon |
almost at the stage of doing a compleate
reinstall , but sort of keep posponing it as it works fine
after |
21:40.32 |

brlcad |
it's not really windows-only |
22:32.15 |
SuperTaz |
oh? |
22:32.18 |
brlcad |
it's just only been released in binary form on
windows |
22:32.24 |
brlcad |
and presently doesn't run out of CVS
;) |
22:32.38 |
brlcad |
but code-wise, it'll run on windows, linux,
mac, bsd, at least |
22:32.51 |
SuperTaz |
oh |
22:33.03 |
SuperTaz |
so, in other words...I can't run it on my
mac |
22:33.04 |
brlcad |
just needs some build infrastructure
clean-up |
22:33.06 |
SuperTaz |
because it won't build |
22:33.10 |
brlcad |
right |
22:33.16 |
brlcad |
actually, it builds |
22:33.17 |
SuperTaz |
well poop |
22:33.27 |
SuperTaz |
it just won't run? |
22:33.28 |
brlcad |
but it will complain at run-time about not
finding some resource library it needs |
22:33.31 |
brlcad |
path problem |
22:33.34 |
SuperTaz |
ahhh |
22:33.39 |
brlcad |
looking in the wrong place |
22:33.53 |
SuperTaz |
is it fixable? |
22:34.31 |
brlcad |
infinitely |
22:34.47 |
SuperTaz |
I'm just asking because I would like something
a little smoother than vanilla mged |
22:35.10 |
SuperTaz |
can't find archer on sourceforge |
22:35.26 |
brlcad |
it's still not meant to be a full-blown mged
replacement, missing lots of commands you'd eventually
want |
22:35.51 |
SuperTaz |
yeah, but it looks pretty decent for rapid
prototyping |
22:36.04 |
brlcad |
bob gets to play with it mostly in his spare
time, mostly good as a viewer at this point |
22:36.06 |
SuperTaz |
looks nice and user-friendly |
22:36.10 |
IriX64 |
unix archer is part of cvs |
22:36.10 |
SuperTaz |
oh |
22:36.13 |
SuperTaz |
bah |
22:36.13 |
brlcad |
it's a lot more friendly |
22:36.29 |
brlcad |
it can do editing, but I"m just saying that
it's far from "done" |
22:36.32 |
SuperTaz |
I just need something friendly to design
geometry in |
22:36.42 |
SuperTaz |
mged is not friendly, thus far |
22:36.49 |
SuperTaz |
of course, I'm a n00b to mged |
22:36.53 |
IriX64 |
how so? |
22:36.55 |
brlcad |
far from replacing even a 10% of what mged
does feature-wise |
22:37.17 |
brlcad |
though what it does, it generally does
better |
22:37.22 |
poolio |
SuperTaz: mged isn't that hard to learn. Take
some time and read through the tutorials online |
22:37.27 |
brlcad |
really just needs some loving care and
attention |
22:37.34 |
SuperTaz |
I have the tutorials |
22:37.46 |
SuperTaz |
I just have to have the time to go through
them |
22:38.01 |
IriX64 |
SuperTaz you can create many of the standard
primitives from the gui |
22:38.03 |
brlcad |
therein being the crux of the problem
;) |
22:38.07 |
SuperTaz |
and it'd be nice to have a nicer
interface |
22:38.21 |
SuperTaz |
I'd take an Alias 6 interface |
22:38.27 |
brlcad |
there are other efforts also under way for a
better interface |
22:38.31 |
SuperTaz |
or an explore interface |
22:38.39 |
brlcad |
for which archer is in the right direction,
but not on the same path |
22:38.47 |
SuperTaz |
*nod* |
22:39.07 |
SuperTaz |
even the original softimage interface would be
fine |
22:40.07 |
SuperTaz |
though I wasn't a huge fan of it...I preferred
alias and explore...they used very little real estate for buttons
and menus, but made it all available via context menu (explore) or
via a single mode/button set (alias) |
22:40.09 |
brlcad |
it's a shame that mged's interface is so
difficult (and ugly), because feature-wise, it does it a major
disservice -- there are lots of things you can do in brl-cad that
really are better than just about every other package |
22:40.26 |
SuperTaz |
*nod* |
22:40.33 |
SuperTaz |
I like its maturity |
22:40.41 |
SuperTaz |
but the interface is poo |
22:40.44 |
brlcad |
:) |
22:40.47 |
SuperTaz |
I've used a bunch of modellers |
22:40.52 |
SuperTaz |
some nearly as mature |
22:41.02 |
SuperTaz |
and they all have better interfaces |
22:41.51 |
brlcad |
they all have had entirely different
development lifelines and budgets too ;) |
22:42.10 |
SuperTaz |
of course :) |
22:42.12 |
brlcad |
it wasn't really until brl-cad became open
source that the interface became that much of an issue |
22:42.13 |
IriX64 |
http://www3.sympatico.ca/mario.dulisse2/Test.png
<---- this took seconds |
22:42.27 |
SuperTaz |
but the military and then a commercial
organization developed brl-cad |
22:42.47 |
brlcad |
commercial org? |
22:43.08 |
WindowsDragon |
well here goes nothing , brb on other machine
soon holefully |
22:43.13 |
SuperTaz |
you'd think they'd have made an interface that
was at least semi-user friendly |
22:43.20 |
brlcad |
it's never been unilaterally developed by a
commercial org -- closest would have been GSI in the 90's but even
their work was a partnership |
22:43.25 |
SuperTaz |
brl: didn't it it go private? |
22:43.30 |
brlcad |
nope |
22:43.37 |
SuperTaz |
oh...I thought GSI owned it for that
period |
22:43.46 |
SuperTaz |
under contract to the gov't |
22:43.54 |
SuperTaz |
didn't realize it was a partnership |
22:44.11 |
SuperTaz |
cause I thought they made it commercially
available in that period? |
22:44.13 |
brlcad |
no no, it's always remained under active
development since it started |
22:44.27 |
brlcad |
you might be thinking of SURVICE
Engineering |
22:44.46 |
brlcad |
as they provide commercial _support_ and have
done so for many years |
22:44.54 |
brlcad |
you could buy a copy or brl-cad, and it'd come
from them |
22:45.05 |
brlcad |
but it was the same version that we were
making |
22:45.10 |
SuperTaz |
anyway, in 20+ years of development, you'd
think it would have gotten an intuitive view menu, a sensible
default view (X Y Z perspective) |
22:45.15 |
SuperTaz |
and a couple of other things |
22:45.22 |
brlcad |
they just built the binaries and put them on a
disc for you |
22:45.27 |
SuperTaz |
ahhh |
22:45.36 |
SuperTaz |
I thought they also did some active
development, too |
22:45.37 |
brlcad |
along with nice printed manuals and guaranteed
support staff for answering your questiongs |
22:46.07 |
brlcad |
they do some development, still do even, but
they participate just like anyone else in the open source arena
now |
22:46.25 |
SuperTaz |
*nod* |
22:46.30 |
SuperTaz |
well, that's good, at least |
22:46.42 |
brlcad |
survice basically paid bob to work on archer
for a couple years non-stop |
22:46.43 |
SuperTaz |
anyway, I'm sure it's possible to get it to
look better |
22:46.49 |
brlcad |
that's why it got as far as it did |
22:46.49 |
SuperTaz |
ahhh...nice |
22:47.01 |
brlcad |
then they needed him on some other
things |
22:47.09 |
IriX64 |
SuperTaz, do you want me to upload these
binaries since you can't find them? |
22:47.26 |
SuperTaz |
irix: won't help me any...this is a mac
:) |
22:47.27 |
brlcad |
SuperTaz: he meant for Mac, so probably not
:) |
22:47.33 |
IriX64 |
ahh |
22:47.45 |
IriX64 |
:) |
22:48.29 |
brlcad |
SuperTaz: you would think that a better
interface would have cropped up, but the domain and demands of what
everyone needs *right now* always overrule |
22:48.33 |
SuperTaz |
can't remember the shell command to start x on
a mac |
22:48.47 |
SuperTaz |
brlcad: yeah, often the reality |
22:49.13 |
brlcad |
that is, the folks that pay for new
development don't care if it's pretty or even if it's easy to use,
so long as it can get the job done (which mged does splendidly most
of the time) |
22:49.16 |
SuperTaz |
brlcad: sadly, it's been proven that a good
interface makes for much more time |
22:49.20 |
brlcad |
open -a X11 |

SuperTaz: oh, I know .. but saying it's proven
doesn't pay for the new interface ;) |
22:50.03 |
SuperTaz |
I think I was thinking of a different command,
but that works ;) |
22:50.19 |
brlcad |
no matter how many times you say it, how many
graphs and time studies you do -- they need/want other features and
time is limited |
22:50.25 |
brlcad |
so it's up to the open source community
really |
22:50.44 |
brlcad |
where the economics go out the window mostly
:) |
22:51.01 |
SuperTaz |
and then they'll rebundle it and make a
killing ;) |
22:52.18 |
brlcad |
nah, at worst, they'd be like the gforgegroup
is to gforge or like redhat is to the linux kernel -- a distributor
for something that you can get for free, available for folks that
want to pay for guaranteed support |
22:52.41 |
SuperTaz |
is brl-cad gpl? |
22:52.44 |
SuperTaz |
thought it was bsd? |
22:52.47 |
brlcad |
lgpl and bsd |
22:52.54 |
SuperTaz |
*nod* |
22:53.02 |
brlcad |
most of the code is lgpl |
22:53.05 |
SuperTaz |
so they can sell it for as much as they'd like
:) |
22:53.26 |
SuperTaz |
and add their own customizations around it
:) |
22:53.27 |
brlcad |
build infrastructure, docs, data resources,
and some other portions like the benchmark suite are bsd |
22:53.39 |
*** join/#brlcad AchiestDragon
(n=david@whipy.demon.co.uk) |
22:54.01 |
brlcad |
that they could and so could you |
22:54.36 |
brlcad |
they wouldn't do anything in bad faith,
though, they're a pretty good group |
22:55.19 |
brlcad |
and they'd sure as heck not want to risk any
bad relationship with the gov't, they know who their daddy
is |
22:55.26 |
SuperTaz |
okay...slowly fighting my way into the
gui |
22:55.45 |
SuperTaz |
*nod* |
22:55.58 |
SuperTaz |
and yes, I know I could take it and spruce up
the gui and sell it |
22:56.21 |
SuperTaz |
if I did that, though, a) I'd need some
customers and b) I'd still contribute back ;) |
22:56.57 |
IriX64 |
SuperTaz, I just plat want my code, maybe you
can make a killing with it :) |
22:57.02 |
brlcad |
you'd be obligated for most of the code, only
your enhancements that weren't integrated would be yours to share
or not |
22:57.02 |
IriX64 |
play not plat |
22:57.54 |
SuperTaz |
brlcad: yeah |
22:58.01 |
SuperTaz |
brlcad: not that I'm about to do so
:) |
22:58.45 |
SuperTaz |
brlcad: but you can always do things like
build a plugin harness that's lgpl, and then create plugins that
are closed source or restricted distribution, etc. |
22:59.30 |
SuperTaz |
i.e. make the plugins GPL and distribute a
commercial version of them as well (optimized and/or otherwise
fortified) |
22:59.55 |
SuperTaz |
and then you just disallow commercial
distribution of the plugins |
23:00.02 |
SuperTaz |
there are other licenses, too... |
23:00.05 |
SuperTaz |
*shrug* |
23:00.29 |
brlcad |
yeah, just not likely worth the effort and bad
publicity if they didn't get a nod that it was okay
beforehand |
23:00.30 |
SuperTaz |
the MySQL and Postgres model works pretty
well...it allows them to pay developers AND leverage the
community |
23:01.38 |
brlcad |
"pretty well" minus a little political
backlash to the purists |
23:01.44 |
poolio |
muahaha. beset shall be closed source
;) |
23:01.51 |
SuperTaz |
so? |
23:01.59 |
SuperTaz |
the purists are great in theory |
23:02.18 |
brlcad |
more the poison aspects |
23:02.20 |
SuperTaz |
but you just see what happens if no one is
paying for any software |
23:02.42 |
SuperTaz |
I love open source |
23:02.47 |
SuperTaz |
don't get me wrong |
23:02.58 |
SuperTaz |
I've contributed to several projects
:) |
23:03.22 |
SuperTaz |
but...commercial interests drive a LOT of open
source innovation |
23:03.51 |
brlcad |
it does, though commercial only tends to do so
when it serves their financial goals in politically tactful
ways |
23:04.14 |
SuperTaz |
sure |
23:04.40 |
SuperTaz |
but meeting customer demands (the users) is
what makes sense for them financially (usually) |
23:04.52 |
brlcad |
still mostly moot for brl-cad -- the CAD
industry is *already* a massive multi-billion dollar industry that
takes utterly *massive* development capital just to get a basic
functioning toolset |
23:05.44 |
SuperTaz |
yes, but brl-cad would probably have some
decent market share if it had a more intuitive interface
:) |
23:06.07 |
brlcad |
we're the farthest out there by a really long
ways, with a funding source, and we're still way behind in many
aspects -- entire massive domains we don't cater to (ECAD, MCAD,
CADD, ..) well and features that one would expect outright of
commercial (a reasonable gui) |
23:06.15 |
SuperTaz |
(sorry if I'm slow here...rebuilding my
keyboard while we speak) |
23:06.29 |
brlcad |
yep, mged's interface is by far the biggest
detriment to our progress at this point |
23:06.53 |
SuperTaz |
yes...it's be quite commercially viable with a
solid interface |
23:07.00 |
SuperTaz |
it's, even :) |
23:07.17 |
brlcad |
that's why I'm looking to spark more
development interest by getting talented students involved in
making a new interfaces, new tools |
23:07.28 |
SuperTaz |
yeah, that'd be good |
23:07.32 |
brlcad |
open source community will follow once the gui
is in place, just not readily beforehand |
23:07.35 |
SuperTaz |
are you in academia? |
23:07.58 |
SuperTaz |
yes...that's the thing...the open source
community cares about gui for these things :) |
23:08.17 |
brlcad |
we have long ties to several big groups in
academia, particularly computer graphics |
23:08.54 |
SuperTaz |
that's good |
23:09.06 |
AchiestDragon |
ok now back to only one graphics card in this
machine , still got big bug with mged , is this documented with a
workarround or do i need to file a bug report |
23:09.17 |
SuperTaz |
I could maybe get the depaul crowd
interested...I'd have to figure out who to talk to,
though |
23:09.46 |
brlcad |
UNC chapel hill, Hopkins, UUtah, Texas
A&M, UDel, .. a lot of BRL-CAD's early design and development
days were in tight collaboration with active research (and even
today, there is some still going on) |
23:09.53 |
SuperTaz |
they're awfully microsoft oriented overall,
but they have an okay HCI program, and this'd be up their
alley |
23:09.54 |
AchiestDragon |
on a multihad display the frame buffer only
works with the windows on one monitor |
23:10.52 |
poolio |
brlcad: anything from CMU? |
23:10.53 |
brlcad |
i would have *loved* to have known about
BRL-CAD when I was taking computer graphics and other computer
science courses in college |
23:11.02 |
SuperTaz |
okay... no delete key now, either :P |
23:11.14 |
SuperTaz |
I'd really better be careful what I type
;) |
23:12.21 |
brlcad |
poolio: yes actually |
23:12.44 |
SuperTaz |
I think that the problem here is less that the
keyboard is dirty and more that kensington just didn't design it
all that well |
23:12.48 |
brlcad |
iirc, he was a summer hire who later became a
core developer for many years |
23:13.02 |
poolio |
brlcad: ah sweet |
23:13.22 |
SuperTaz |
hrmm...at least I have an enter key again
;) |
23:14.03 |
brlcad |
poolio: in that case, though, it was with the
student, not with CMU faculty -- I don't think we have ties to
anyone in their faculty bstaff right now |
23:15.00 |
brlcad |
the schools a listed were a subset of those
where we actually worked with faculty too, on research or
development |
23:15.36 |
brlcad |
there have certainly been other
schools |
23:15.40 |
poolio |
ah cool |
23:15.56 |
poolio |
brlcad: are you trying to recruit people out
of college now? |
23:16.22 |
SuperTaz |
it's the distinction between working with a
student and a school |
23:16.36 |
SuperTaz |
brl...who do you actually work for?
:) |
23:17.22 |
brlcad |
poolio: out of anywhere really, just need the
passion, background, and interest ;) |
23:17.27 |
AchiestDragon |
ie like this shows
http://www.achiestdragon.org/index.php?title=Image:Snap.jpg&oldid=610
it works on the righthand monitor only |
23:17.39 |
poolio |
brlcad: hehe yeah. |
23:24.06 |
brlcad |
AchiestDragon: heh, I think I noticed that a
long while back too |
23:24.20 |
brlcad |
that's "probably" a Tk issue, but hard to
say |
23:24.46 |
AchiestDragon |
maybe , i am using kde and it can be a bit
odd sometimes on framebuffer issues |
23:25.08 |
AchiestDragon |
odd that its working on one monitor
though |
23:25.25 |
AchiestDragon |
and all on the same card |
23:26.24 |
AchiestDragon |
think i am still going to have to reinstall
linux as it does not seem ot have cleared the other issue |
23:26.38 |
AchiestDragon |
that may be part of the problem
though |
23:33.35 |
AchiestDragon |
ho thats a point , on the gui , maybe it
would be posible to write a qt4 frontends for the gui , you do
know the new qt4 licence allows for gpl code to be compiled for
all supported o/s's |
23:34.06 |
AchiestDragon |
so that should make it a bit easyer to do the
crossplatform gui mods |
23:34.28 |
AchiestDragon |
<PROTECTED> |
23:36.31 |
AchiestDragon |
theres talk that most kde apps will get ported
to windows when the qt4 port of kde is done |
23:36.53 |
AchiestDragon |
and mac . and a few other o/s's |
23:38.30 |
brlcad |
AchiestDragon: it's come up *lots* of times ..
opens the whole qt vs gtk debate but certainly a viable approach
nonetheless |
23:39.29 |
brlcad |
well aware of their licensing, though gpl is
actually a downside imho -- sticking to bsd/mit/lgpl style code is
generally more preferred |
23:40.03 |
AchiestDragon |
i started to learn qt3 but stopped as qt4 was
dew and may as well wait for it rathe than having to relearn
|
23:40.05 |
brlcad |
avoids integration and refactoring issues
outright and generally keeps the purse-holders feeling a little
more comfortable with themselves for some reason |
23:40.54 |
SuperTaz |
yeah, it was interesting doing linux kernel
work at motorola |
23:42.08 |
SuperTaz |
we got it done, though...there was a balance
we had to maintain between what was open source and what was
closed |
23:42.16 |
SuperTaz |
it was interesting to say the least |
23:42.20 |
yukonbob |
AchiestDragon: your display issue sounds more
like X than kde/gnome or a wm issue to me... depending on display
properties, I've got apps that'll do that too (start mplayer on one
screen and try to drag to other)... I'm using XOrg(6.x) witha
MergedFB (versus Xinerama, for example) with no
problems... |
23:43.42 |
AchiestDragon |
i think its an x issue also , as it basicaly
apperears a bit odd with its own settings sometimes |
23:44.31 |
AchiestDragon |
now with the 2 card setup i had the same
problem with xine only displaying video on the same monitor , but
with 1 card it works fine on all |
23:44.51 |
AchiestDragon |
just mged seems to have the same problem
still |
23:46.05 |
AchiestDragon |
i will reinstall , but not tonight , need to
be in the right mood or will get ratty |
23:46.12 |
yukonbob |
:) |
23:48.01 |
AchiestDragon |
i have been putting it off , untill the next
hdd upgrade , then can just do a fresh install and copy the files
over after |
