16:29.55 brlcad woot, search box now expands
16:31.42 brlcad Z80-Boy: it's not something that is done every day, usually for making presentation movies or for visualizing some specific results
16:32.51 Z80-Boy brlcad: I changed my program for high-quality RGB->Y'CbCr conversion to have the table compiled inside the binary, and to be faster by reusing repeating values
16:33.09 Z80-Boy brlcad: do you think that my program doesn't have a practical value then?
16:33.29 Z80-Boy or let's say significant practical value, when people don't do videos often?
16:33.48 brlcad ehhhh.. i never indicated that it didn't have a practical value
16:34.05 brlcad sounds like it clearly has some value, particularly to you, probably to others too
17:06.01 Z80-Boy I meant to others
17:06.11 *** join/#brlcad butti (n=butti@e178064167.adsl.alicedsl.de)
17:06.16 Z80-Boy do you think it makes sense to invest time into making it releasable as an add-on for BRL-CAD?
18:39.58 brlcad Z80-Boy: probably, but then to be a proper addition there are still the redistribution issues
18:41.36 brlcad if it was a polished and documented tool, it could be compiled and included into src/other with you retaining copyright, but would still have to be either LGPL or BSD licensed
18:42.31 brlcad the requirement of assignment hasn't changed on being included elsewhere in src (like src/util or src/anim)
18:42.43 brlcad minute-ssh: finished!
18:43.09 brlcad 6 hours later and now both of the search boxes resize properly :)
18:44.39 brlcad the only nit-pick remaining that I'm still not really happy with is the download link
19:06.47 Z80-Boy brlcad: and adding a section on the website with links to other programs that can be interfaced to BRL-CAD?
19:07.14 brlcad that's the idea for the wiki regardless, any community info of relevance
19:07.36 brlcad btw, there's a write-up on there already for ronja
19:07.45 brlcad no pictures, yet, but it does have the text
19:07.56 Z80-Boy URL?
19:08.00 brlcad if you would review it for accuracy, that would be cool
19:08.15 brlcad http://my.brlcad.org/wiki/Ronja
19:09.02 minute-ssh brlcad: well done
19:09.23 minute-ssh got anywhere with LDAP yet?
19:10.00 minute-ssh yeah, the download link looks a bit ugly
19:10.26 minute-ssh not sure what it could be replaced with though
19:10.43 Z80-Boy "The interactive geometry editor and ray-tracers in BRL-CAD are an integral part in the communication of design plans for Twibright labs and enables them to connect with the users, who are the driving force behind the User Controlled Technology ideal."
19:11.06 Z80-Boy Actually no user ever attempted to edit a 3D model of Ronja I did all
19:11.27 Z80-Boy It's not clear to me what "users, who are the driving force behind the User Controlled Technology ideal" means
19:12.05 Z80-Boy I am also not sure how innovative my piece of equipment it is, considering the low-cost parts involved
19:12.18 Z80-Boy But one could say that the project is innovative, that definitely
19:12.24 brlcad it doesn't say that users edit
19:12.39 brlcad it says the editor and ray-tracers were used to connect with users
19:13.46 brlcad maybe help to read it more carefully before giving critique :P
19:14.07 brlcad it's intentionally got marketing spin in it, the question is whether you're okay with it -- if you want to tweak it, go for it
19:15.02 minute-ssh bbl
20:31.52 brlcad there, that's a little better
20:46.02 ``Erik heh
