02:49.38 brlcad it "should" and does in head iirc
02:50.09 brlcad the tricky one is itcl which I think is picking up the tclConfig.sh from our sources
02:50.22 brlcad so it gets compiled looking for a specific version (which at run-time doesn't exist)
02:52.42 ``Erik hm, when I looked, itcl was using src/other/tcl/library/init.tcl, which had a requires exactly line
02:52.45 ``Erik or, uh
02:52.47 ``Erik ampi was, rather
02:52.57 ``Erik mebbe both
02:53.21 ``Erik I have an ed hack in the fbsd port to work around the issue
02:53.22 ``Erik :/
02:53.36 ``Erik "heros" is on, btw... kinda half watching it....
02:54.20 ``Erik how's the new machine coming?
02:58.34 brlcad not much since saturday
02:59.00 brlcad finished backups, did some more performance testing, had some DDoS stuff to take care of on Sunday
03:01.43 Supaplex yucky :p
03:03.48 starseeker brlcad: Am I correct that latest cvs still needs the patched itcl/itk?
03:08.42 brlcad Supaplex: not the first, not the last :)
03:08.54 brlcad and wasn't the brl-cad site.. but related hardware getting hit :)
03:08.59 Supaplex yup. kiddies.

03:45.00 ``Erik a bz'er?
03:45.55 fiberchunks yah, long time ago
03:46.01 fiberchunks now, not so much
03:46.28 ``Erik <-- never gotten into the bz groove
03:46.36 ``Erik just noticed your channels :D
03:46.51 fiberchunks great game, just have no time for it anymore
03:46.56 ``Erik the boy *points at brlcad* seems to be into it
03:47.09 fiberchunks yah, I've known him for quite some time
03:47.52 fiberchunks without him, there'd likely be very little in the way of mac work for it
03:48.07 fiberchunks among other things
03:48.07 ``Erik true
03:48.23 ``Erik I'm under the impression that there's only one other person really pushing the game, uh
03:48.27 ``Erik matt or something
03:48.39 fiberchunks jeff
03:48.44 ``Erik jeffm?
03:48.48 fiberchunks indeed
03:48.51 ``Erik not riker
03:49.03 ``Erik yeah, I think jeffm is it
03:49.23 fiberchunks oh tim? he's always around -- I'm not sure how into it he is anymore, but he's the 'official' king tut
03:49.47 ``Erik I was name dropping to someone and tey were like "omfg, you know tim riker?" and I said, no, an active dev, so they said jeffm... heh
03:50.12 ``Erik I THINK it was jeffm
03:50.22 ``Erik my memory aint' so good in my old age *sigh*
03:50.29 fiberchunks most likely - he's one of the most active
03:50.29 brlcad naw, more than that working on it
03:50.41 brlcad arguably 2-3 guys "leading" most of the work (and that doesn't include tim)
03:50.56 ``Erik damn, christa ... damn
03:50.56 brlcad and not counting the peripheral coders
03:50.57 fiberchunks tim still the figurehead, brlcad ?
03:51.05 brlcad on paper, sure
03:51.13 fiberchunks some things never change :)
03:51.18 brlcad he's done even less since you were last around
03:51.20 ``Erik seriously, would anyone here turn down christa miller?
03:51.33 fiberchunks fancy -- why doesn't he turn it over I wonder
03:51.41 brlcad he popped in one day a few months ago when gsoc kicked off to vote on the student submissions
03:51.52 brlcad but that's about it for '07
03:51.59 ``Erik hopefully I rate as #2 or at least a close #3 for BRL-CAD dev :D
03:52.08 brlcad ``Erik: I know lots of chicks that would turn her down :)
03:52.37 ``Erik I think my chick would saddle up for her, so it's all good :D
03:52.55 fiberchunks yay, take pictures!
03:52.58 ``Erik once you quit screaming "tmi", ...
03:53.25 brlcad hey, so long as you're not in the pics, I"m all for it! :)
03:53.27 ``Erik a buddy of mine up in nyc a psych phd, finally bought a mac today
03:53.45 ``Erik she's going between ecstatic and terrified
03:53.52 brlcad heh
03:54.03 brlcad good stuff
03:54.17 fiberchunks bastich!
03:54.33 ``Erik I might buy an ibook soon
03:54.43 ``Erik they look like decent little machines if you slap a little ram in
03:54.49 fiberchunks i'm thinking of one of those fancy new imacs for the family
03:55.08 ``Erik I'm waiting for a field report on the video card performance
03:55.19 ``Erik if the intel chip does what I need done, ... *shrug*
03:55.40 brlcad last I read, the imac video "problem" was fixed with the latest rev
03:55.57 brlcad you can actually run dual head now, which was stupidly crippled before
03:56.04 fiberchunks yeah, what the hell is with the condensation thing? they put an icebox in that thing?
03:56.25 ``Erik multiscreen isn't my concern, it's the performance for running "wow" that worries me
03:56.56 ``Erik if a plain chicklet macbook maxes cpu on wow, I'll buy one... otherwise, I might go pro for the nvidia chip
03:57.25 fiberchunks mmmmm, nvidia. Although, if amd does things right, in a couple of years ATI could be decent again
03:57.46 ``Erik I have a sour taste to nvidia.
03:57.54 fiberchunks why for?
03:57.59 ``Erik their unix guys... don't understand unix
03:58.05 fiberchunks I've never had anything but sucess with their cards
03:58.24 ``Erik the ioctl stuff was fucking BAD, it relied on outright bugs in linux code, which made the fbsd effort ugly
03:58.35 ``Erik also; they didn't hire me, so poo on them. :D
03:58.40 fiberchunks haha
03:59.10 fiberchunks ah fbsd, my exp is strictly with linux and of course doze (for solidworks at work, regretfully)
03:59.13 ``Erik but seriosuly, their ioctl stuff relied on a weirdness of linux with memory addressing
03:59.45 ``Erik namely, linux has a weird behavior of reporting "local memory" at the same address of wire memory in an ioctl
03:59.52 fiberchunks well, that's what I partly mean with ATI and AMD deciding (hopefully) to do the right thing when it comes to drivers -- so the community can work on them as well
03:59.53 ``Erik whcih is not the case for, y'knwo, EVERY REAL OS
04:00.00 fiberchunks heh
04:00.17 ``Erik so nvidia's drivers behavior of assuming reported ioctl addy is both wired and real... that's wrong
04:01.58 ``Erik http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=89042
04:04.17 fiberchunks so that's a linux kernel issue and an nvidia driver issue then
04:05.48 ``Erik this was over 6 years ago..
04:06.04 fiberchunks fancy -- good to see response time is good ;)
04:06.38 fiberchunks also good to see that I can't properly read anything (like dates and stuff )
04:06.43 ``Erik :)
04:09.08 ``Erik was a long time ago
04:09.17 ``Erik http://math.missouristate.edu/~erik/software.php?id=72 was the fallout
04:09.19 ``Erik *grouse*
04:10.03 ``Erik damn apple finds good bands to use on their commercials O.o
04:10.41 louipc I don't think I've heard a single metal band yet
04:11.11 fiberchunks you know, I love their products, but christ does itunes for the pc suck, which i'm really surprised about
04:11.17 fiberchunks or maybe I shouldn't be
04:11.53 brlcad they're not used to coding software on top of steaming piles ;)
04:12.00 fiberchunks hehe
04:12.03 ``Erik hehhee
04:13.14 fiberchunks what's the going rate these days for a 17" macbook pro?
04:13.21 ``Erik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N3OrZzPud8
04:14.00 fiberchunks oof, nevermind -- too rich for me right now
04:14.22 brlcad don't forget the blessed educational or gov't discounts ;)
04:14.33 brlcad don't even need to prove it *ahem*
04:14.35 fiberchunks oooo, I do have a student too :)
04:14.46 fiberchunks what's the discount?
04:14.51 brlcad usually about 10%
04:14.58 fiberchunks sweet
04:22.04 ``Erik wow, they really suck live
04:22.30 ``Erik the instruments are spot on, but the vocs, geez

04:27.11 louipc I'll be seeing them
04:27.17 ``Erik back in hs, my buddies were big into iron maiden and judas priest... wasn't so much myself
04:27.37 fiberchunks oh yeah man, eddie and the priest
04:27.42 fiberchunks awesome stuff
04:28.24 ``Erik I got more into old school ac/dc, metallica, ...
04:28.40 ``Erik bon scott, yo!
04:28.47 fiberchunks iron maiden isn't old school? judas priest? dear god man! :)
04:28.54 louipc ac/dc is good but it's all the same song haha

04:31.35 louipc yeah I can't completely get into the Dio stuff
04:31.54 ``Erik with the pic of the dude flying the plane... that album sucked
04:31.56 fiberchunks well, once you reach a certain age, or can't remember precisely where, or who, you are -- it's time to get off the train. I mean really :)
04:31.59 ``Erik the ones before kicked butt
04:32.15 louipc hehe yea
04:32.19 ``Erik and some of ozzies "solo" stuff was awesome

04:37.54 ``Erik always been a fan of triphop, though :D but metal and hard rock are what I've been up on since a kid

06:04.48 yukonbob nice nickname "The Chunk Man"
06:07.01 brlcad hehe
06:07.13 brlcad he fits his namesake pretty well
06:14.16 brlcad yukonbob: if it's possible to get a copy of that newhub model, I'd like to investigate why four of the pixels are wrong
06:15.53 brlcad at least, four that seem wrong -- can't say that they are without seeing the model and walking the specific ray through the model
06:17.03 brlcad it's on a primitive that doesn't have any known problems for that shape, so it's definitely worth investigating
06:35.51 yukonbob ya -- np.
06:36.37 yukonbob are you looking at interior of middle body?
06:36.49 yukonbob hint: I doubt I knew about 'pipe' at that time...
06:41.36 yukonbob brlcad: drop me note when ready -- I'll be in/out of irc tonight till I go to sleep, then here again tmo...

22:35.34 starseeker Hehe - if someone does get this running we could try running BRL-CAD on it again ;-)
22:36.09 yukonbob starseeker: apparently there are no machines available anymore that run this code natively...
22:37.48 starseeker emulator time ;-)
22:54.57 starseeker Come to think of it, Macsyma at MIT was on Multics at one point... I may still have that manual around here somewhere...
22:56.01 ``Erik which emu will be the first to support it?
22:56.30 ``Erik simh might be a serious contendor... but bochs and qemu are both pretty active and have both splayed out into lots of arch's
22:57.21 starseeker I think http://orangesquid.net/projects/ge635/ is working on it...

22:58.52 starseeker I wonder if a modernized Multics would still be a viable operating system contender
23:01.27 louipc qemu is probably better
23:01.29 ``Erik some of the hardware i/o setups for unix were complex, too
23:03.00 yukonbob ``Erik: you in same office as brlcad ?
23:06.10 ``Erik same building, different room
