02:04.04 yukonbob ``Erik: are you an ARL worker/brl-cad dev too?
02:44.22 brlcad there is a z clipping opt on the wireframe, which really should be turned off by default..
03:48.58 brlcad howdy yukonbob
03:49.02 brlcad how goes it
04:11.16 yukonbob brlcad: can't complain -- nobody'd listen anyway ;)
04:11.22 yukonbob yourself?
04:46.32 brlcad heh
04:46.46 brlcad just finished watching a movie, and belly is full, so doing pretty good
05:00.07 yukonbob nice -- what movie?
05:00.16 yukonbob (nice timelag we have going ;)
05:52.41 brlcad yeah, just a lil :)
05:52.47 brlcad Eragon
05:53.17 yukonbob heh -- /me saw the making of the Eragon motorcycle on American Chopper... that's all I know of the movie ;)
05:53.59 brlcad actually not to bad of a story, knew nothing about it but figured it's kinda hard to mess up a story with dragons
05:54.34 brlcad which is what caught my eye, the dragon on the cover ;)
05:55.02 brlcad i think i read somewhere that there's a book to or something, so I'd expect there might be more to follow
06:01.59 yukonbob q: re: shooting rays (remember, I'm still running 7.8.5)
06:02.51 yukonbob I ran rtxray -o myfile.bw database.g object_in_db, and got a file myfile.bw
06:03.35 yukonbob it won't display in a fb, and when I converted to ps, all I got was a big black square (indicating nothing there, I guess)
06:04.04 yukonbob can you give me a simple pointer or two wrt rays where I can see a result w/o too much fuss?
06:08.38 brlcad will it display to a framebuffer?
06:08.47 brlcad rtxray -F/dev/Xl database.g object
06:09.06 brlcad and how are you displaying in an fb?
06:09.31 brlcad last week was the departed, pan's labrynth, rocky balboa, and children of men
06:09.39 brlcad all pretty excellent
06:10.12 brlcad still left for this weekend are ringu and the persuit of happyness :)
06:11.03 yukonbob rungu++
06:11.07 yukonbob *ringu
06:11.23 yukonbob japanese horrors are scary
06:14.05 yukonbob ?I can use /dev/Xn, where n is an incrementing #, but use only once, and once scene is rendered, fb disappears...
06:14.43 yukonbob gets a bit of a weird 'blanking' on screen too, but that's got to be because of my dual monitor setup
06:17.39 yukonbob nm -- it's working better ;)
06:17.49 yukonbob it's always the operator
06:18.11 yukonbob dunno what I was doing before, but now I can -o myfile.bw; bw-png myfile.bw > myfile.png
06:25.33 yukonbob how can I change the 'ae' or 'rot' that I'll get w/ the rtxray?

07:06.26 jtmuzix when unix workstations were super popular for CAD and engineering, they ues them, however what software do firms use?

07:46.00 MinuteElectron brlcad: There is a problem with the website.
08:10.35 MinuteElectron fixed
08:15.21 *** join/#brlcad Elperion (n=Bary@p54876309.dip.t-dialin.net)
08:16.22 MinuteElectron brlcad: Are you able to provide a list of quotes, one or two will do for now. Also, what is the copyright for the website.

18:40.13 *** join/#brlcad Twingy (n=justin@74.92.144.217)
20:10.38 brlcad MinuteElectron: there's a good quote in the AUTHORS files
20:10.42 brlcad s/files/file/
20:10.45 brlcad i'd start with that one
20:11.00 MinuteElectron Okay, thanks.
20:11.21 brlcad jtmuzix: feel free to ask any questions
20:11.32 brlcad ah, offline
20:13.51 MinuteElectron Wow, you were right. There are good quotes invloved in this software.
20:14.19 MinuteElectron That is actually an amazing quote.
20:20.04 brlcad probably :)
20:20.34 brlcad would be nice if it could just be a simple text file that it reads from, so it's really easy to add more
20:21.40 MinuteElectron Hmm, i was thinking of a simple to understand PHP array.
20:21.41 brlcad that said, not a big deal either way :)
20:21.46 brlcad that could work too
20:22.03 MinuteElectron It would make randomisation easy and pretty simple to add to.
20:22.04 brlcad there's probably a module for quotes, I'd have to imagine
20:22.36 MinuteElectron I would be very wary of using that since it has to be interopable between Drupal and MediaWiki.
20:23.27 *** join/#brlcad Elperion (n=Bary@p54876309.dip.t-dialin.net)
20:23.53 MinuteElectron brlcad: http://my.brlcad.org/quotes.php
20:24.05 MinuteElectron But another quote would be useful for ensuring the system works.
20:34.39 brlcad MinuteElectron: http://my.brlcad.org/~sean/quotes.txt
20:34.58 MinuteElectron thanks
20:36.42 brlcad there's a few more I could probably pull together but those are from mike's plan file, so quite apropos
20:38.16 MinuteElectron oh I see.
20:38.18 MinuteElectron cool
21:06.48 MinuteElectron on what?
21:06.58 yukonbob http://my.brlcad.org/~sean/quotes.txt
