| 07:16.21 | clock_ | brlcad: you know what a space frame is? |
| 07:17.25 | brlcad | sure, it hangs on a wall and holds a pretty picture of space |
| 07:17.32 | clock_ | no :) |
| 07:18.05 | clock_ | It's like you want a stiff and light construction of a body so you fill the body basically with tetrahedra made of sticks and that's how Stansted Airport is built and also looks like those constructions on satellites |
| 07:18.09 | clock_ | I made a space frame CRT holder |
| 07:18.50 | clock_ | http://images.twibright.com/tns/21a9.html |
| 07:18.54 | clock_ | I want to open source it |
| 07:19.34 | clock_ | For 21'' CRT. I bought a 21'' CRT for 20$ fully functional great picture because I like the picture it has better colours and better black level than LCD also faster reaction and more even picture surface |
| 07:19.59 | clock_ | But it's big and 30kg that's why I had to make a wall holder because it couldn't fit on a desk. |
| 07:21.22 | brlcad | heh |
| 07:21.43 | brlcad | kinda frankenteinish joint welding there |
| 07:23.24 | brlcad | i'd expect the weak points wouldn't be the frame itself but the connections on the wall |
| 07:23.26 | clock_ | lol yeah can you weld better? |
| 07:23.39 | clock_ | like the plugs could get ripped off the wall? |
| 07:23.55 | brlcad | yep |
| 07:24.09 | clock_ | my father once installed an antenna on plugs like that and it got ripped off by a wind |
| 07:24.22 | clock_ | But a properly installed plug holds like hell |
| 07:24.43 | clock_ | you have a prescribed hole diameter and screw diameter and length |
| 07:24.49 | clock_ | I held to all these parameters |
| 07:25.05 | clock_ | it's half inch holes 70mm deep |
| 07:25.24 | brlcad | it's one of those things though, that you never really know until you apply enough pressure to find the breaking point, but by then it's too late :) |
| 07:25.41 | clock_ | but what should break, the brick? |
| 07:26.01 | clock_ | and the holder has like a big base that means the moment is not large |
| 07:26.14 | clock_ | if the plugs were close the prying action would be much stronger |
| 07:26.16 | brlcad | the brick, the connection to the brick |
| 07:26.32 | clock_ | frankensteinish welding haha I wanted to make sure it's not the welds that break |
| 07:26.41 | brlcad | can you hang from it? |
| 07:26.57 | clock_ | I did a similar holder for Ronja and there I could hang from it |
| 07:27.04 | clock_ | the base and the plugs were the same size |
| 07:27.40 | clock_ | I weight 75kg |
| 07:27.50 | brlcad | if you can provide about 5x the load and it easily holds, then sustaining a 30kg load shouldn't be too bad |
| 07:27.52 | clock_ | The Ronja weights max. 15kg and the monitor 30kg |
| 07:28.30 | clock_ | and it's clever made 2 plugs for tension and 1 for compression |
| 07:28.41 | clock_ | if it were the other way the rating would be half because the tension is critical |

| 12:40.29 | brlcad | basically, it's by one of the other cad devs as a prototype design for a new graphical integrated operating environment |
| 12:41.19 | brlcad | he prepared a tutorial presentation that walks through a brief interaction example -- it's not specific to CAD, but most of the interaction aspects and basic structure are still relevant |

| 12:47.55 | clock_ | what about deaf people and people who have no audio output? |
| 12:48.34 | mafm | brlcad: it's some presentation to make a flier, or Konqueror is making strange things? |
| 12:49.00 | brlcad | mafm: neither |
| 12:49.27 | brlcad | it's an *interaction* example .. ignore the particular task example |
| 12:50.00 | mafm | I can't hear anything btw, maybe I should try firefox |
| 12:51.22 | brlcad | there is no audio in that version |
| 12:51.33 | brlcad | that was my point .. i was trying to find a version that had audio |
| 12:52.12 | brlcad | otherwise, you can get a feel for it from each of the slides alone |
| 12:52.43 | mafm | oh, I thought that you had found the version with audio |
| 13:07.17 | mafm | so it's an example of what a GUI could do for a CAD program |
| 13:07.35 | mafm | is that from a Mac? :) |

| 13:36.35 | brlcad | without the personal information, not in first person, etc |
| 13:36.58 | mafm | yes, I saw that |
| 13:37.01 | brlcad | for the gui concepts of IOE, you could have that as part of the design document or in a section by itself I'd think |
| 13:37.09 | brlcad | what do you think? |
| 13:37.32 | mafm | but I'm not very familiar with mediawiki, and I don't know exactly what a personal page is, etc |
| 13:37.52 | mafm | also I think that mediawiki can work with namespaces but you seem to use a plain structure |

| 20:28.38 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: note that it first went into RCS in april 1984, but applin reminded me to check |
| 20:28.38 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: out the original GED tech report (GED: AN INTERACTIVE SOLID MODELING SYSTEM FOR |
| 20:28.38 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS - ARBRL-TR-02480 - published March 1983) which indeed |
| 20:28.38 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: did have additional tidbits. It says development began in 1980 and that ged |
| 20:28.40 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: went into production use in January 1982. |
| 20:30.15 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30801 10/brlcad/trunk/AUTHORS: earl weaver was there at the beginning, mark 1980 as start year |
| 20:30.18 | ``Erik | hrm, it's too bad the early history isn't better preserved... jove in '83, then rt in '84 :/ |
| 20:31.25 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30802 10/brlcad/trunk/AUTHORS: gary kuehl was a BRLer |
| 20:32.45 | brlcad | yeah, keith was saying it was all managed manually, they'd give their snippets to mike, he'd rewrite them and organize |
| 20:33.01 | brlcad | keith stopped coding shortly after it went into rcs |
| 20:39.30 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r30803 10/brlcad/trunk/src/proc-db/tire.c: Misc. cleanup and comments, added tread pattern count and tread depth as options. |
| 20:39.32 | andrecastelo_ | since when do you guys code for brl-cad ? |
| 20:40.01 | brlcad | andrecastelo_: this year makes 10 years for me |
| 20:40.44 | brlcad | but the project has certainly been going for quite a bit longer of course ;) |
| 20:41.15 | andrecastelo_ | interesting! :D so you work in/with the u.s. army ? |
| 20:43.20 | brlcad | cool, I see you got the wiki page updated |
| 20:44.04 | andrecastelo_ | yup, also made some improvements in the readability of the proposal |
| 20:44.25 | andrecastelo_ | as in - moved some stuff from timeline to implementation |
| 20:44.31 | andrecastelo_ | i think it is more clear this way |
| 20:45.23 | brlcad | cool, have to read through it again |
| 20:50.27 | brlcad | isn't sure you actually need the phong model with MLT, GI kinda takes over |
| 20:53.37 | andrecastelo_ | the idea was to use the phong model to handle the reflection but i'm also not sure |
| 20:54.14 | brlcad | that could get tricky |
| 20:54.28 | brlcad | liboptical assumes it's doing things a certain way |
| 20:54.36 | brlcad | you might be able to avoid liboptical entirely |
| 20:56.25 | andrecastelo_ | what about Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions? |
| 20:58.47 | andrecastelo_ | could they work ? |
| 21:06.40 | brlcad | phong is a brdf |
| 21:06.49 | brlcad | it's a simple algorithm |
| 21:08.51 | ``Erik | the phong song |
| 21:13.11 | ``Erik | wonders if he gets to count his years haetus on "that damn project" towards his count O.o |
| 21:15.08 | ``Erik | hiatus, damn my splling |
| 21:19.11 | andrecastelo_ | brlcad: didn't know that.. but isn't phong exclusively for specular lighting ? |
| 21:28.00 | brlcad | andrecastelo_: nope, ambient + specular + diffuse components |
| 21:28.19 | brlcad | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_shading |
| 21:28.56 | brlcad | but how phong comes into play with a global illumination renderer and/or MLT is a different issue |
| 21:30.30 | andrecastelo_ | why's that? i thought we could use phong in a ray_hit() function, to decide where to shoot the next ray |
| 21:49.19 | andrecastelo_ | hey, regarding development procedures, how will it happen? patches will be sent in a time to time basis, will we work in a separate branch or in the trunk?? |
| 21:52.02 | brlcad | trunk ftw! |
| 21:52.22 | brlcad | part of gsoc is learning to coordinate with the other devs as a new full-fledged dev ;) |
| 21:52.48 | brlcad | so a few small patches for the first few changes with your mentor and when they give me a thumbs up, you start committing directly |
| 21:53.29 | CIA-20 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30804 10/brlcad/branches/unlabeled-2.5.1/: i don't wanna look at it and neither does bob. and given E/ev have been rewritten several times, this original code probably just isn't worth it |
| 21:53.54 | brlcad | so if you did little patches now, you could/should have commit access even before gsoc coding begins |
| 21:55.57 | andrecastelo_ | cool :D there are some projects that gives the branch for the student to work on and never joins it back together |
| 21:56.43 | andrecastelo_ | speaking of patches, what about the center point one, did you manage to take a look to see if everything is ok and etc ? |
| 22:54.31 | ``Erik | hiatus, damn my splling |
| 22:54.42 | ``Erik | woops |
