15:52.42 MinuteElectron The cache table in drupal has become corrupted, most likley due to a full disk, reapiring table.
15:53.53 brlcad MinuteElectron: thanks ... I've got problems on several sites because of that.. *sigh*
15:54.11 brlcad that was a pretty bad/long time for it to fill up
15:54.26 MinuteElectron yeah, too bad
15:55.38 MinuteElectron Table, repaied - should there be any further errors tell me and I'll look into them.
15:57.08 brlcad thanks MinuteElectron
15:57.15 brlcad ~MinuteElectron++
15:57.19 MinuteElectron :P
15:57.38 brlcad really, thanks
15:57.43 brlcad my blood pressure is still high
15:57.43 alex_joni does he overflow if we do that too often?
15:57.45 MinuteElectron no problem
15:57.47 alex_joni MinuteElectron++
15:57.56 brlcad have to prefix it with a ~
15:58.00 alex_joni ~MinuteElectron++
15:58.02 brlcad so it gets ibot's attention
15:58.09 brlcad ~karma MinuteElectron
15:58.09 ibot minuteelectron has karma of 5
15:58.21 alex_joni ~karma brlcad
15:58.21 ibot brlcad has karma of 1
15:58.25 alex_joni oh-oh :)
15:58.25 MinuteElectron wow, thanks guys :P
15:58.40 MinuteElectron I'm going to restart my computer because I just installed some tools for IE6 development so I can hopefully fix the corner problem.
15:58.40 brlcad yeah, it's not really useful for me, but can be fun :)
15:58.56 alex_joni brlcad: do you remember off-hand what bot it is?
15:58.57 brlcad alex_joni: my karma is hard-coded/fixed :)
15:59.02 brlcad ~ibot
15:59.02 ibot it has been said that ibot is a blootbot written in perl run by TimRiker on his server. logs on http://ibot.rikers.org/<chan>/ , ibot, jbot, apt are all the same process. It uses sqlite, but mysql or other SQL storage is also supported.
15:59.21 alex_joni ~brlcad++
15:59.24 alex_joni ~karma brlcad
15:59.24 ibot brlcad has karma of 1
15:59.27 alex_joni darn
16:00.26 brlcad :)
16:00.48 brlcad tim hard-coded it to 1 just for fun/spite
16:05.57 alex_joni so what does it usually do? except karma :)
16:07.27 brlcad you mean in general?
16:08.02 alex_joni yeah
16:08.02 MinuteElectron brlcad: "The MySQL error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)."
16:08.03 brlcad ibot serves a lot of useful purposes, the biggest of which is probably it's extensive factoid database (utterly massive compared to most)
16:08.04 ibot brlcad: what are you talking about?
16:08.10 brlcad MinuteElectron: yeah, I'm working on it
16:08.16 MinuteElectron ok, thanks
16:09.11 brlcad back up
16:09.19 MinuteElectron thanks
16:09.20 brlcad i'd stop'd it
16:09.37 brlcad i've got several corrupted sites to deal with atm
16:10.20 MinuteElectron ahh, ok
16:22.15 brlcad heh
16:22.19 brlcad apache just reset
16:22.38 brlcad the sites that still can't get to mysql lock up apache, and after about 20 or so lockups, apache restarts
16:23.18 MinuteElectron ahh, that is unfourtunate - I'll do some other work while the instabilities are fixed and go back to this in a few minutes.
16:23.27 brlcad so you'll probably get a "connection lost" or other random error once every few minutes .. but should work if you just retry
16:23.34 brlcad i'll let you know when it should be good
16:23.49 MinuteElectron ok, thank you
16:58.11 yukonbob ~karma yukonbob
16:58.11 ibot yukonbob has karma of 1
17:00.07 brlcad MinuteElectron: all better now
17:00.16 brlcad ~yukonbob++
17:00.18 brlcad howdy
17:01.10 yukonbob goodmorning brlcad :)
17:02.40 brlcad not a good one, but morning to you too! :)
17:03.01 yukonbob :P -- it's alright for me so far...
17:03.07 brlcad yeah, hopefully to do great things :)
17:03.23 yukonbob mathy stuff?
17:03.25 brlcad it was alright for me too.. until I checked my e-mail and logs
17:03.40 yukonbob shit->fan?
17:03.42 sunbleach brlcad: what about me?
17:03.48 brlcad the server's disks filled up last night .. so all went to hell while I was sleeping
17:03.53 yukonbob :P
17:04.29 brlcad mostly due to brl-cad's massive cvs2svn dumpfile and cvsroot backups that were still in place
17:04.51 brlcad but took down mysql and httpd services for most sites on the box
17:05.08 brlcad corrupted several mysql db's that had to be repaired
17:05.10 MinuteElectron brlcad: cool
17:05.24 yukonbob ah -- do those dumpfile/backups need to stay online for review or reference?
17:05.38 brlcad i'd left them "just in case" I needed to run it one more time
17:05.55 yukonbob ~mysql--
17:05.56 brlcad and yeah, I was still using them too
17:06.13 yukonbob ~karma mysql
17:06.13 ibot mysql has karma of -1
17:06.14 brlcad working with the cvs2svn devs to look into some of the things that went wrong
17:06.36 yukonbob nice
17:06.41 brlcad already figured one of our problems out.. they changed the behavior of the auto-props file
17:06.51 brlcad that's what caused the bad juju on the svn:executable
17:07.03 yukonbob re: binary encoding and +x
17:07.04 yukonbob ?
17:07.13 brlcad not binary encoding, but the +x
17:07.17 brlcad yes
17:07.39 yukonbob Opensource works, David. Opensource works, David.
17:07.40 brlcad binary coding was the mime-type, already fixed that (that was my/apache's fault)
17:08.05 brlcad but the exec bit was my/cvs2svn's fault
17:09.16 brlcad they changed the behavior of the auto-props file -- if svn sees svn:executable in your auto-props.. it means make sure that file type is +x .. but cvs2svn folks changed it to mean exactly the opposite because they needed a way to forcibly unset +x
17:09.46 brlcad I suggested seeing !svn:executable would probably be better than changing from svn's behavior
17:10.18 sunbleach brlcad: any work for me there?
17:10.51 yukonbob seems to have been _lots_ of cruft-cleaning and repairs done in development over last while -- is there a sched for next release?
17:11.30 sunbleach brlcad: I wonder if you got my ":(
17:11.34 sunbleach " smiley on the query
17:11.41 sunbleach Because onb freenode the queries sometimes don't work
17:12.40 yukonbob sunbleach: re: your animation -- do you have pubished notes or a blog, etc. re: the process you took to make it?
17:13.03 sunbleach yukonbob: no but it's compiled through a makefile
17:13.10 sunbleach so if you read the makefiles you see how it's made
17:13.11 yukonbob smart
17:13.28 sunbleach I think full-feature movies should also be done with a makefile
17:13.47 sunbleach So if at the end they wouldn't like the main character they would just replace the actor and type "make"
17:13.51 sunbleach And go for a coffee.
17:13.56 brlcad sunbleach: I got your :( and hopefully you got my response
17:14.15 yukonbob *it's just so much nicer typing "make" than remembering _any_ number of incatations...
17:14.32 brlcad you should/could write up the animation how-to on the wiki
17:14.44 yukonbob ^--- ++
17:14.55 sunbleach But it's a dumb animation
17:15.05 sunbleach a shell script countsm from 0 to 359 and calls rt with different azimuth
17:17.44 MinuteElectron The corners problems with the sidebar have been fixed on the Drupal, but not MediaWiki (yet, just need to port some of the code over).
17:18.16 brlcad sunbleach: doesn't matter what the animation is, it's having *simple* instructions and steps for creating an animation
17:18.31 sunbleach Oh
17:18.53 brlcad like how I wrote up instructions for making the sgi cube
17:18.54 brlcad http://my.brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube
17:18.59 sunbleach How to create a simple animation from BRL-CAD with a complicated custom-written shell script ;-)
17:19.13 brlcad it's not that it was hard at all for me, took just a few min .. but there are details in there that hardly anyone knows about
17:19.22 brlcad and it's a nice simple tutorial on scripting with brl-cad
17:19.39 yukonbob sunbleach: ;) -- we'll wikify it into simplicity
17:19.46 brlcad simplify it, reduce the steps to the essential
17:20.50 sunbleach looks complicated to me ;-)
17:20.55 *** join/#brlcad vedge (n=vedge@vedge.org)
17:21.05 sunbleach magical mged scripting commands
17:21.11 sunbleach but at least I could look them up in the man
17:22.23 brlcad most everything I used is considered really *old school* brl-cad
17:22.44 sunbleach It's the only really useful stuff
17:22.46 brlcad they're basics that most all modelers know with maybe the exception of the cook-torrence shader I used
17:23.32 brlcad otherwise 2/3rds of it is the procedural scripting that generates the cube
17:23.49 sunbleach Here is the script for the animations with matte channel http://ronja.twibright.com/utils/rt_script
17:24.34 brlcad that is nice and short
17:24.43 sunbleach Actually not
17:24.50 sunbleach It mattes the colours and edges together
17:24.55 sunbleach The result is matted once more
17:25.55 sunbleach But the C program is nonportable
17:26.08 sunbleach assumes that the double zero is all zeroes on the architecture
17:26.14 sunbleach Which I don't know if it's guaranteed
17:26.22 sunbleach Can be some weird architecture where double zero is not all zeroes
17:26.34 sunbleach Or what if the thing produces negative zero? No guarantee either
17:26.44 brlcad "double zero"?
17:26.50 sunbleach brlcad: is there a guarantee that rt never produces negative zeroes if the pixel hits infinity
17:26.55 sunbleach zero in the double precision
17:27.39 sunbleach Here is the program that makes the background http://ronja.twibright.com/utils/double_mask.c
17:27.50 brlcad where do you write out doubles?
17:28.12 sunbleach I read them in
17:28.24 sunbleach In the "network" format that the rt produces
17:28.34 sunbleach Which is the root cause of the pain in the ass
17:28.52 brlcad i'm not seeing where you tell that to rt though?
17:28.55 sunbleach What happens in double if I compare negative zero with positive zero?
17:28.59 sunbleach Do I get equality or not?
17:29.25 brlcad your rtopts are bgcolor size and ambient light
17:30.55 sunbleach Oh that script was for stills
17:31.00 sunbleach This one is for animation: http://ronja.twibright.com/utils/render_animation
17:31.29 *** join/#brlcad jgay (n=jgay@fsf/staff/jgay)
17:31.30 sunbleach fixed_root=`echo "$1" | sed -e 's/\\//\\\\\\//g;s/\\./\\\\./g'` &&
17:31.52 brlcad as for +0 == -0 I believe most implementations will consider them equal though I don't think C/C++ have anything to say about it
17:31.56 brlcad implementation defined
17:32.10 *** join/#brlcad vedge (n=vedge@vedge.org)
17:32.37 sunbleach What I would prefer would be one byte telling if the pixel is model or infinity.
17:33.01 sunbleach Floating point numbers turn a digital computer into an analogue one
17:33.24 sunbleach Like the code printf("%ld",a); printf("%ld",a); printed two different numbers for me
17:33.40 sunbleach So if I load a zero and then compare it it can already be something slightly different
17:33.48 sunbleach Because IEEE guarantees nothing
17:34.44 sunbleach And btw I think the rt should generate +Inf and not zero
17:35.23 brlcad mm, that it could do with -d1
17:35.35 brlcad just not without it obviously
17:36.11 brlcad that's what that default/reserved 0/0/1 is for in a way
17:36.15 brlcad for non-doubles
17:36.26 sunbleach But that's in-band signalling and that's bad
17:36.37 sunbleach It corrupts the picture
17:36.53 sunbleach If your model hits the right colour it cannot be expressed and a deviated colour has to be emitted
17:37.05 sunbleach -> error signal is intentionally mixed in -> crap
17:37.09 brlcad sure
17:37.16 brlcad but then you only have three channels
17:37.22 brlcad 24 bits of data
17:37.33 brlcad so what do you do, without increasing the number of bits
17:37.41 sunbleach you cannot do it
17:37.41 brlcad in practice, its not a problem
17:37.46 sunbleach The channel is already occupied
17:38.00 brlcad exactly, so it does the best it can without changing the requirements
17:38.04 sunbleach in a Microsoft-style practice
17:38.30 sunbleach it's a kludge. A scotchtape solution.
17:38.47 brlcad actually, it was rather carefully designed that way
17:39.07 sunbleach By who?
17:39.15 sunbleach It's bad style
17:39.18 brlcad as you said it yourself, you cannot do it otherwise without increasing the number of bits
17:39.27 brlcad you obviously don't like it, that's your right :)
17:40.04 sunbleach It's like this http://www.getreligion.org/wp-content/photos/60324190_1678a0a1d8_o.jpg
17:40.11 brlcad but the tradeoff would be no background distinction by default, or another output channel (which was pretty darn impossible back when it was implemented)
17:40.15 sunbleach Yeah I obviously don't like it :)
17:43.37 brlcad what I'd really like is a full alpha transparency channel
17:43.54 brlcad that's really what's needed, then all background could be properly represented
17:44.16 sunbleach yes
17:44.18 brlcad couldn't do that 15 years ago, and still can't with some hardware, but just about everything can handle it these days
17:44.24 sunbleach but wouldn't express the hit distance of course
17:45.51 sunbleach If you use more rays per pixel it could generate intermediate alpha values
17:45.58 brlcad -d already does that
17:46.17 brlcad just needs the tweak for a miss
17:46.30 brlcad you should fix it :)
17:46.34 sunbleach But doesn't it break the paralellism?
17:46.57 sunbleach I could screw it up and think I've fixed it if I had time ;-)
17:46.57 brlcad huh?
17:47.43 brlcad yeah, with an alpha channel and -H hypersampling turned on, you could get beautiful antialiased alpha values on the edges
17:47.46 sunbleach can't different rays of the same pixel get scheduled to different CPUs or so?
17:48.01 brlcad hypersampling already does that
17:48.18 brlcad i was talking about fixing -d to recognize a miss and have it report +Inf
17:48.32 brlcad that should be pretty simple
17:48.34 sunbleach but maybe the code somewhere secretly assumes only the first 3 bytes are added
17:48.55 *** join/#brlcad vedge (n=vedge@vedge.org)
17:49.14 brlcad first 3 bytes .. added .. hm?
17:49.24 sunbleach or averaged
17:49.31 brlcad speculation either way, but the -d code just reports the hit-dist
17:49.36 brlcad probably just reports 0 for miss
17:49.43 sunbleach what does -d report with antialiasing?
17:49.45 brlcad it knows when it's a miss
17:49.46 sunbleach Average distance?
17:50.00 sunbleach and on the edge?
17:50.27 brlcad actually I don't know what -d does if you try to use it with hypersample turned on
17:51.33 MinuteElectron Ok, all stylistic bugs fixed.
17:51.42 brlcad hypersample as it is doesn't do antialiasing, just averages the rays that do hit if the first ray hits iirc
17:51.58 brlcad something that could be improved either way, I've never liked -H without supersampling
17:52.15 brlcad MinuteElectron: seriously?!
17:52.17 brlcad awesome!
17:52.21 sunbleach When I did hypersamnpling I did it myself
17:52.41 sunbleach Because I doubt rt takes gamma into account when averaging the samples
17:52.50 brlcad that usually gives better results.. jack up the -s by 4/8x and downsample
17:53.29 brlcad that way it can take neighbors into account instead of operating on a per-cell basis
17:53.47 MinuteElectron brlcad: Well, on the face of it - yes. The pages with forms on could do with some clean up\design, but I'm concerned about this taking months (I've literally been working on this since July) so that can probably come later, once it's moved over - LDAP, at least, is more important..
17:54.47 brlcad MinuteElectron: quite true, you've put massive (great) efforts into this -- very much appreciated if I've not said it enough :)
17:54.56 brlcad MinuteElectron: what was the ie6 problem?
17:55.17 MinuteElectron brlcad: It's my pleasure, I wouldn't be doing this unless I enjoyed it ;)
17:55.23 brlcad :)
17:55.34 MinuteElectron The IE6 problem was just rounded corners and the blue box in the middle of the front page.
17:55.40 MinuteElectron Both of which are fixed now.
17:55.51 sunbleach rounded corners are in today, especially combined with white
17:57.19 MinuteElectron Once we do get the site live and have spruced up the forms a bit I'll be concentrating on commenting my code, it is now getting very complex and difficult to maintain.
17:58.16 MinuteElectron And, of course, anyone else who may need to edit the code will need commentes too (not that I plan to leave any time soon).
17:59.26 brlcad i mean what was the problem with the rounded corners on ie6?
17:59.29 brlcad what was the fix?
17:59.36 yukonbob MinuteElectron: getting familiar with Babs?
18:00.09 MinuteElectron brlcad: they were all missaligned significantly, to fix it i had to add a variety of margin and width hacks in the ie6 only css file.
18:00.57 MinuteElectron yukonbob: babs?
18:00.58 brlcad ahh
18:01.10 brlcad so ie6 has it's own set of hacks :)
18:01.21 brlcad guess you did have to do that for the header anyways :)
18:01.37 MinuteElectron Yeah, lots of ie hacks.
18:01.40 yukonbob MinuteElectron: so many references to Barbara Jenson in the ldap docs I've read over the years ;)
18:02.01 MinuteElectron brlcad: But they are all in nice labelled ie only css files so it is easy to maintain ;)
18:02.10 MinuteElectron yukonbob: I'm still reading the opening paragraph. :P
18:02.48 MinuteElectron Also I'll be expanding support for the theme into other browsers hopefully once everything else is done, at least the big 5 all work perfectly.
18:04.47 MinuteElectron yukonbob: haha, indeed
18:10.09 yukonbob MinuteElectron: I believe I've got the first edition of this book: http://tinyurl.com/2s8832 -- which is a good (and necessary, imo) high-level view of LDAP
18:10.30 MinuteElectron cool, i'll have a look shortly
18:10.30 brlcad yukonbob: how're those others working out?
18:11.16 yukonbob heh -- arrived just after I left south, and I'm only _just_ getting ready to head back ;)
18:12.32 brlcad ahh, dumbasses
18:12.38 brlcad they were supposed to ship separate
18:13.01 brlcad they did say they would send two shipments, so they lied!
18:15.21 *** join/#brlcad vedge (i=vedge@vedge.org)
18:40.36 MinuteElectron >:C
18:41.55 brlcad so is it using skin or skin2?
18:42.07 MinuteElectron skin2
18:42.33 MinuteElectron 1) I made a mistake in the IE6 fixes so need to fix some more code, 2) LDAP is weird.
18:44.04 brlcad it looks like it's trying ldap now
18:45.02 brlcad but is failing to fall-back to the previously existing accounts too
18:45.20 MinuteElectron yeah
18:45.27 MinuteElectron well, i can't test that
18:45.32 MinuteElectron unless i make a new account
18:45.34 MinuteElectron well i will
18:45.43 MinuteElectron in a while
18:45.54 brlcad i'll stop asking questions so you can eat :)
18:46.05 sunbleach see u later
18:46.08 MinuteElectron lol :P
18:46.12 MinuteElectron thxs
18:46.19 brlcad mm eating is a good idea
18:46.22 brlcad i haven't either
18:47.23 brlcad yay, my ReliaMed 700 shipped today
18:53.45 brlcad the new skin is considerably cleaner..
18:53.49 brlcad nice work
18:54.51 bpoole sorry bout the overflow craziness brlcad
19:01.55 brlcad bpoole: not your fault afaik :)
19:04.12 brlcad mine for leaving cad's cvs2svn files around, not finishing the server migration faster, and not watching the system more carefully last night :)
19:05.01 MinuteElectron ...
19:06.01 brlcad minor nit
19:06.20 MinuteElectron hmm, ok
19:06.21 brlcad so that background rendering overlaps underneath the left-header instead of over it
19:06.34 brlcad just swapped their order in the page.tpl
19:07.05 MinuteElectron looks good
19:07.06 MinuteElectron (Y)
19:07.19 brlcad and (re)fixed the clear="all" you had on the br's
19:07.37 MinuteElectron cool
19:07.38 brlcad but instead of a clear style, added a clear:both; to the footer
19:09.35 brlcad hm, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmy.brlcad.org%2Fwiki%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group=0&verbose=1&st=1
19:10.48 MinuteElectron I'll take a look later, I have to go out do something now.
19:10.52 brlcad i think it's a typo
19:10.57 brlcad looks too
19:11.30 brlcad yeah, found it
19:11.46 brlcad cool, validates
19:14.43 brlcad FYI, there is scheduled maintenance at the server's ISP on Thursday january 24th at 00:00AM EDT for at most 6 hours at their atlanta hub that may affect connectivity (maybe not)
19:19.55 PrezKennedy who hosts your server brlcad?
19:30.44 *** join/#brlcad Z80-Boy (i=clock@77-56-92-109.dclient.hispeed.ch)
19:34.25 Z80-Boy re
21:02.54 MinuteElectron eh?
21:02.58 MinuteElectron What is the problem...
21:03.41 brlcad oh snap, I think I just found it
21:03.47 MinuteElectron :S
21:06.36 brlcad it doesn't draw the bottom bezel if there's no width defined
21:06.48 brlcad but then if you define a width, it's no longer properly auto-expanding
21:07.02 MinuteElectron Which bezel are you talking about?
21:07.35 brlcad the bottom rounding on the search boxes and the top menu
21:07.57 brlcad the top search box was working, the bottom wasn't -- the difference was top had a width:
21:08.20 brlcad but, like I said, if/when you define the width, you lose the resizing
21:09.15 MinuteElectron The bottom search box looks to be working here, what browser are you using?
21:09.22 brlcad ie7
21:09.40 brlcad look from one of the wiki pages -- drupal caches
21:10.05 brlcad it works fine on the 'good' browsers
21:10.51 brlcad i wonder if it's collapsing them because they have nothing in them..
21:11.01 MinuteElectron probably
21:11.45 poolio brlcad: random question about using bz.bzflag.bz when you have time to respond :) Whenever I resize my local terminal window it messes up the characters and I have character artifacts all over the terminal. If I resize it back to where it was before and refresh the screen it's ok, but not at any other size.
21:14.15 brlcad poolio: there aren't termcap resize events set up, so you have to log in at the size you want
21:14.33 brlcad could be fixed, but never been enough of an annoyance to me (and screen doesn't care)
21:14.47 brlcad you can notify a screen resize with ctrl-a F
21:16.35 poolio ah, thanks :]
21:22.38 *** join/#brlcad Twingy (n=justin@74.92.144.217)
21:25.33 brlcad hm, well it doesn't seem to be because there is nothing in them
21:34.57 MinuteElectron brlcad: There is a similar problem on the top-right bevel.
21:39.47 brlcad you mean the menu?
21:39.57 brlcad i just got both search boxes working
21:40.11 brlcad using a div similar to what you did for the right panel boxes
21:41.55 MinuteElectron ah, gdgd
21:41.58 MinuteElectron and yes, the menu
21:43.00 brlcad yay, works
21:43.10 brlcad same hack on the menu worked
21:43.18 brlcad that work in ie6?
21:43.31 MinuteElectron ahh, congrats.
21:43.32 brlcad i recall it had the same rendering problem, but don't have it on this machine to test
21:43.35 MinuteElectron IE6 was already fixed.
21:43.45 brlcad okay, cool
21:44.09 MinuteElectron wait, which file did you just edit to fix IE7?
21:45.03 brlcad fix wasn't ie7 specific
21:45.11 brlcad edited the page.tpl and style.css
21:45.26 MinuteElectron Well, the fix broke IE6, not sure about the other browsers.
21:45.27 brlcad to add a new sboxfooter
21:45.36 brlcad huh
21:46.11 MinuteElectron the main navigation base is now misalighed in IE6.
21:46.26 brlcad what abou tnow?
21:46.30 brlcad er, now
21:46.41 MinuteElectron ahh, better
21:46.48 brlcad hrm
21:58.45 brlcad i'm running out if ideas
21:59.03 brlcad whatever exactly you did on the left panels works right?
21:59.26 brlcad i thought I was basically doing the same, but the position:absolute; seems to be what's borking ie6
22:05.45 brlcad MinuteElectron: how about now?
22:06.00 brlcad I just made the div ie-7 specific for now
22:08.03 MinuteElectron it's prefect
22:17.44 MinuteElectron goodnight
22:31.51 brlcad goodnight
