01:53.37 yukonbob gets a metric ton of msvc updates w/ his svn update
02:28.21 brlcad thems crazy wincoders
02:28.43 brlcad viva la revolución!
02:30.21 yukonbob :? -- the revolution to join the Windows users?
02:30.46 brlcad el cinco de mayo!
02:30.59 brlcad burps
02:31.14 yukonbob is about to get a Windows laptop (from work) that will be the first time he's sat down in front of Windows box since about 1995.
02:31.29 brlcad the shame and horrors
02:32.10 yukonbob it is what it is, I guess -- I'll get Tcl, Perl, Cygwin, XEmacs, etc, on there ASAP, though.
02:33.10 brlcad there are precompiled Emacs binaries if you want to avoid X
02:33.29 yukonbob ya -- that's the route I was planning...
02:34.35 brlcad takes a bit more effort to get other tid bits like gnu find (M-x grep-find) and other things that some bits of emacs might expect, but it works great

03:42.12 yukonbob ya -- there's things like diff, grep, and some other unix-y bits that are required for "normal" operation, but cygwin will provide that stuff w/o _needing_ to get into X Window System as well...
03:44.37 yukonbob will have to see if there's a "screen" equiv for Windows... This will be interesting, in a way, to find out the utilties that I use day-to-day but don't realize that I use that often... and finding equiv for Windows.
07:02.30 louipc well the thing about guitar hero is that it accompanies you and it doesn't give you stuff that's too hard right away
07:02.37 louipc and it tells you what buttons to push :D
07:02.55 louipc that would be cool if there was a program to do that on real instruments
07:03.17 louipc then you could be shredding like a pro in no time!
07:03.48 louipc oops
07:19.46 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (n=clock@zux221-122-143.adsl.green.ch)
08:12.40 clock_ By: John Anderson (johnranderson): Added -k option to rt to produce a faster (but approximated) render of a cutaway view.
08:13.09 clock_ By: Cliff Yapp (starseeker): Cutting flag with ronja.g seems to work well - closing bug.
08:13.18 clock_ This cutting flag -k is meant I guess?
08:13.44 clock_ How does it internally work and why is it approximated and in which way approximated?

11:06.58 mafm hi
11:45.51 starseeker_ clock_: check the source code for details, but basically it's defining where to cut at a different level
11:46.27 starseeker_ clock_: I'm not sure what John means by approximated.
11:47.31 starseeker_ Yes it's the k flag
11:48.17 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (n=clock@zux221-122-143.adsl.green.ch)
11:48.32 starseeker_ Ah, hi clock_
11:49.14 starseeker_ figures - didn't notice you weren't on when I responded
11:51.29 starseeker_ Correct, it's the k flag - I'm not sure what John means by approximated, but when I tested it on your file it seemed to do well.

17:39.21 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r31004 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/dg_obj.c: Modified dgo_rt_set_eye_model()'s eye_model calculation. It's now using the diagonal length of the bounding box to back out the eye point.
17:47.17 mafm congratulations andrecastelo :)
17:47.36 andrecastelo thanks mafm :D
17:50.26 mafm you're still starting the second term, right?

17:54.20 andrecastelo i'll be back later
17:54.28 mafm I don't know if the plans of Google for a Southern Hemisphere SoC would apply to Brazil too :)
17:55.10 andre|away mafm: it would actually be great, but we don't have that much more time in the summer than we have in winter, so, wouldn't be so different :b
17:55.22 mafm :D

20:12.32 brlcad maybe after melange comes online next year
20:12.56 brlcad so far, though, the process burden to have the summit, manage the students, etc, really does take all year for the folks involved

23:30.24 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: Bob fixed a long-standing bug reported by Tom Browder where rt/rtedge were
23:30.24 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: incorrectly clipping the render due to an invalid eye point calculation. The
23:30.24 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: problem was traced down to code commited all the way back in 1997 where the
23:30.24 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: longest dimension of the bounding box was used as the default eye point backout
23:30.25 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: distance. This in turn could cause clipping if the diagonal distance was
23:30.27 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: considerablly larger and when rendering from a non-orthogonal view. it does not
