| 00:26.28 | yukonbob | re: SoC -- does that mean that certain summer projects of BRL-CAD are accepted, or BRL-CAD is welcomed into SoC in principle, and specfic projects are yet to be sumbitted. |
| 00:26.31 | yukonbob | ? |
| 00:27.06 | brlcad | the latter |
| 00:27.39 | brlcad | we talk to students throughout the week |
| 00:27.45 | brlcad | they formulate proposals |
| 00:27.50 | brlcad | we rank them |
| 00:28.12 | brlcad | we get allocated an unknown number of slots (probably 2 or 3) |
| 00:28.28 | brlcad | those top N ranked then work on their projects |
| 00:29.29 | yukonbob | nods |
| 00:30.45 | yukonbob | Are there projects listed on a SoC page on the new site that might be picked-from, or give potentials an idea of what to work on? |
| 00:30.59 | brlcad | yep |
| 00:31.15 | brlcad | http://my.brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Project_Ideas |
| 00:31.22 | brlcad | still have more to add |
| 00:31.28 | brlcad | and some cleanup |
| 00:31.31 | yukonbob | looks |
| 00:32.00 | brlcad | if you have other ideas, it's a wiki ;) |
| 00:32.18 | brlcad | (and presuming youd be interested in mentoring that idea) |
| 00:32.27 | alex_joni | brlcad: an U3D converter |
| 00:33.13 | yukonbob | looks, and has ideas, and will hopefully mentor as well ;) |
| 00:33.58 | brlcad | also links to http://brlcad.org/~sean/ideas.html |
| 00:34.20 | brlcad | though that has plenty of ideas way out of scope for gsoc |
| 00:35.30 | brlcad | alex_joni: good idea |
| 00:35.45 | alex_joni | brlcad: makes nifty pdf's :) |
| 00:36.23 | alex_joni | and should be fairly simple using sample code from SF as a guidance |

| 14:03.25 | clock_ | brlcad: is there something like a truncated sphere? |
| 14:03.48 | clock_ | For example if I want to do a weak lens, I need to use a huge sphere. It makes the model appear big and complicated |
| 14:03.56 | clock_ | also maybe makes raytracinf slower |
| 14:55.32 | yukonbob | waves in |
| 14:56.01 | yukonbob | passes raspberry tea or coffee or yerba matte or $whatever to brlcad |
| 15:18.12 | brlcad | clock_: hmmm |
| 15:18.44 | brlcad | even truncated, it's going to be huge regardless to get the curvature |
| 15:20.32 | clock_ | I don't agree with that |
| 15:25.00 | brlcad | do you mean truncated from multiple directions? |
| 15:25.28 | brlcad | like top-bottom-left-right-back but not front |
| 15:25.45 | brlcad | that's the only way I can see it not staying big |
| 15:28.08 | clock_ | truncated like hour glass |
| 15:34.22 | brlcad | hour classes are truncated on top and bottom and tapered in the middle |

| 15:43.56 | brlcad | :) |
| 15:43.56 | clock_ | the spherical glass on a watch is called crystal? |
| 15:44.36 | archivist | watch glass, and some are plastic, some real class, some saphire |
| 15:45.06 | brlcad | yeah, my watch is actually made from crystal .. everlasting unscratchable goodness |
| 15:45.09 | archivist | real glass also called mineral |
| 15:45.51 | archivist | brlcad, probably a grown saphire crystal |
| 15:55.39 | yukonbob | clock_: couldn't you just use a big sphere, take union, and restrict your area of interest (/me is looking up in ref for command he's thinking of) |
| 15:55.56 | clock_ | I do it |
| 16:00.26 | yukonbob | will have to look later, but there's a command to block an area as the _only_ area for the ray to take into account -- can't find reference/remember name atm... |

| 20:41.11 | brlcad | pretty good actually |
| 20:41.20 | brlcad | yesterday was busy |
| 20:41.23 | yukonbob | is glad to hear |
| 20:43.26 | PrezKennedy | * brlcad never leaves home without his towel -- the Vogans are coming! |
| 20:48.03 | yukonbob | likes the requirements for STEP parser "ability to tolerate bloated ISO standards" |
| 20:51.40 | yukonbob | notes: Caption for gallery picture "Mike Muss" is incorrectly spelled. (should be "Mike Muuss") http://my.brlcad.org/gallery/main.php |
| 20:53.39 | MinuteElectron | fixed |
| 20:55.07 | MinuteElectron | brlcad: Do you have any intention of ever sanctioning a design enhancement, or is the current one as it will remain for the forseeable future? |
| 20:57.07 | brlcad | what do you mean? |
| 20:57.23 | MinuteElectron | Is the design as it will stay now? |
| 20:57.33 | MinuteElectron | i.e. should I start porting it to gallery2 etc. |
| 20:57.38 | brlcad | you mean the appearance of the site |
| 20:57.42 | MinuteElectron | eys |
| 20:57.45 | brlcad | aha |
| 20:57.46 | MinuteElectron | *yes |
| 20:57.49 | MinuteElectron | :P |
| 20:58.18 | brlcad | hm, well I do forsee sanctioning a design enhancement |
| 20:58.38 | brlcad | eventually at least -- it's nice that it's at least up and running now and is a major improvement |
| 20:58.43 | MinuteElectron | yeah |
| 20:58.46 | brlcad | been having fun populating it with data |
| 20:58.51 | MinuteElectron | :D |
| 20:59.20 | brlcad | so my own priority was to continue populating it throughout and then get back to ldap and then back onto a new style |
| 20:59.27 | MinuteElectron | ahh, ok |
| 21:00.06 | MinuteElectron | so I'll work on porting to gallery2 for now, then when the time comes to modify the style it will be even more uniform. |
| 21:00.14 | brlcad | there's no reason for that order other than -- it's not "bad" now so move on to content -- at least that was the thinking |
| 21:00.22 | brlcad | yeah, cool |
| 21:00.43 | brlcad | I also integrated the style with cgiirc, if you didn't notice |
| 21:00.48 | brlcad | http://irc.brlcad.org |
| 21:01.09 | brlcad | you might have a better way to do that, but cgiirc has very limited skinning options |
| 21:01.11 | *** join/#brlcad Z80-Boy (n=clock@77-56-83-252.dclient.hispeed.ch) | |
| 21:01.13 | MinuteElectron | cool |
| 21:01.17 | brlcad | you have to edit the files directly |
| 21:01.23 | MinuteElectron | looks neat, ahh |
| 21:01.31 | brlcad | so I just linked the style.css and added the header to the internal template |
| 21:01.46 | *** part/#brlcad Ford_Prefect (i=arun@outbound.silenceisdefeat.org) | |
| 21:02.09 | MinuteElectron | yeah, probably not much of a better way to do it - but i'll have a poke around and think about if there is a way to integrate it better. |
| 21:02.09 | brlcad | you might have a better way to do it, but I went the quick n dirty route |
| 21:02.13 | MinuteElectron | yeah |
| 21:02.28 | brlcad | alas, a route that'll get blown away (for the header) the next time cgi:irc is update |
| 21:02.30 | *** join/#brlcad cad27 (n=5207211c@bz.bzflag.bz) | |
| 21:03.19 | brlcad | I also had to manually rewire the header since all the header links were relative |
| 21:03.34 | brlcad | and irc has a different path |
| 21:03.41 | brlcad | probably not a better way around that |
| 21:03.49 | brlcad | I think I'm just bitching |
| 21:04.17 | brlcad | because it sucks maintenance wise, given there probably aren't better maintenance options |
| 21:05.29 | MinuteElectron | ok |
| 21:06.04 | brlcad | MinuteElectron: I'm also not sure I set up recaptcha properly .. |
| 21:06.12 | brlcad | and the Notify module |
| 21:06.54 | brlcad | at least I'm getting several spam contact e-mails a day, and when I test manually it doesn't present me with the recaptcha (on the contact form .. works for the wiki) |
| 21:07.12 | MinuteElectron | I'll add it to my to do list and look into it when I get a chance, unless this is urgent? |
| 21:07.26 | brlcad | nah, not urgent |
| 21:07.35 | brlcad | I'll just forward you the spam ;) |
| 21:07.46 | MinuteElectron | :D |
| 21:08.56 | brlcad | or maybe I will buy those cellphone stocks on the forex markets while enlarging my manhood for her delight |
| 21:09.01 | MinuteElectron | heh |
| 21:09.17 | MinuteElectron | Also, Drupal 6 got released the other week; not sure if we want to risk an upgrade just yet. I could set up a test drupal and use a copy of the database to do a test upgrade to see if it works ok - then roll it out to the main site? |
| 21:09.36 | brlcad | I saw that too |
| 21:09.41 | brlcad | most of the modules aren't updated |
| 21:09.47 | brlcad | ldap isn't available for example |
| 21:10.15 | brlcad | we're using about a half dozen modules now -- when they're updated, probably a good time to upgrade |
| 21:10.51 | MinuteElectron | ahh ok |
| 21:15.10 | MinuteElectron | later |
| 21:15.52 | brlcad | cya! |

| 21:47.16 | hippieindamakin8 | with brlcad |
| 21:48.31 | brlcad | hm? |
| 21:48.36 | brlcad | what's automatically installed? |
| 21:48.46 | brlcad | that svn command obtains the sources |
| 21:49.06 | hippieindamakin8 | naah i already have the binaries |

| 21:51.18 | brlcad | if you run 'mged' it should open up two windows |
| 21:51.46 | hippieindamakin8 | it aint :( i tried it |
| 21:52.53 | hippieindamakin8 | actually after an install i tried to launch the program but couldnt do that.. :( tried to locate the files but they were there either |
| 21:55.46 | brlcad | you'll need to run it via /usr/brlcad/bin/mged if you haven't added /usr/brlcad/bin to your path |
| 21:55.54 | brlcad | by default, brl-cad installs into /usr/brlcad |
| 21:56.21 | brlcad | it *entirely* installs into /usr/brlcad so you can actually upgrade/uninstall really easily |
| 21:56.37 | hippieindamakin8 | thanks |
| 21:56.56 | brlcad | np |
| 21:58.18 | brlcad | there are extensive tutorials and documentation on the website at http://brlcad.org/d/documentation |
