19:01.19 yukonbob hello, cadheads
19:42.31 brlcad howdy
19:43.27 yukonbob how's your day today?
19:44.43 brlcad not half bad
19:45.19 brlcad dragging a bit, but about to hit the gym hopefully to get some energy up
19:50.50 yukonbob a business dude?
19:51.34 brlcad sounds about as exciting as meeting an accountant
19:53.48 poolio Macbook Air :)
20:11.10 brlcad ahh
20:11.12 brlcad heh
20:20.46 poolio Poor guy.
20:40.20 brlcad poolio: http://my.brlcad.org/Beset_Overview.pdf
20:41.16 brlcad that was part of a bigger presentation given last week based on the work and your final report
20:49.28 poolio Ahhh. My / is full and it won't download :o
20:51.43 yukonbob poolio: rm -fr /
20:52.04 yukonbob (please don't, if you don't get the joke ;)
20:52.11 yukonbob ^--- pedantic, but...
20:52.35 poolio yukonbob: heh, it worked, thanks!
20:52.43 yukonbob np :)
20:53.14 yukonbob poolio: are you a *nix weeny like the rest of us?
20:54.59 yukonbob brlcad: good looking presentation :)
20:59.39 yukonbob kewl
21:01.02 poolio yukonbob: aye. although I almost converted to OS X :) still kind of a *nix?
21:03.02 poolio brlcad: That is friggin awesome.
21:03.09 yukonbob well -- considering Apple ponied-up and spent the $$ for testing (and passed) it's arguably more Unix than Linux or the *BSDs... I'm still a *BSD fan, though -- and I _like_ X
21:04.55 poolio brlcad: I'm really really impressed. I'm sorry I didn't get to do it, but I doubt I could put together as nice a presentation :)
21:06.07 poolio yukonbob: Yeah I have some friends who went from Linux -> Os X and really like it. I was considering etting a Macbook Air but I'm not so sure about that anymore... I've mainly just gotten sick of Linux/BSD/etc... because of all the extra work it takes to get thinks working that should just work in thef irst place. And now I no longer have massive amounts of time to tinker, and I just need things to work ...
21:06.50 yukonbob "things to work" -- such as?
21:07.49 poolio Video cards, peripherals, wireless drivers, etc..
21:08.19 poolio And sure, with time and effort you can get most things you want done, but it is much more difficult
21:08.23 poolio (or atleast time consuming)
21:09.18 poolio Take for example getting an ipod working or getting ATI cards working, yes there is software out there for the ipod, and you can get the ATI card working, but ... effort :P
21:09.52 poolio And when I'm trying to get software running so I can finish a certain assignment on time... it may be those few minutes, hours, etc ... make a difference (that's a pretty far-fetched scenario but it happened to me last week)
21:11.25 yukonbob well -- it's ea. person's experience that counts -- but I'm sticking w/ NetBSD :)
21:15.12 poolio Heh, it's been ages since I've used NetBSD.
21:21.41 yukonbob poolio: your 'beset' reminds me of http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20010421/bob18.asp -- are there any similarities?
21:22.57 poolio Just skimming it, it looks somewhat similar in the sense of packing shapes, but that's not exactly what beset is supposed to do (although that's one of the few things it can do right now)
21:24.00 poolio It also seems to approach it with mroe standard algorithms, less crazy evolutionary mumbo jumbo
