02:36.16 yukonbob evening, cadheads
02:36.31 brlcad howdy yukonbob
02:36.41 yukonbob what's shaking, online buddy?
02:37.03 brlcad oh, finally getting back to a vision document I've been working on
02:37.19 yukonbob heh -- drop peyote, hit wordprocessor?
02:37.36 brlcad summarizes what we do, what we want, the path forward ;)
02:37.58 brlcad high-level hand-waving, but useful for consolidated direction
02:38.14 yukonbob s/useful/necessary/
02:38.21 brlcad heh, true
02:38.49 yukonbob plays a bit with plplot...
02:40.00 brlcad tries hard to not be "too wordy" while still being precise and concise with the intent
02:40.47 brlcad i so don't enjoy writing, takes more time than coding to do well :)
02:41.32 yukonbob :)
02:47.04 brlcad eek
02:47.37 brlcad suddenly realizes that he's very hungry, not having eaten anything in about 8 hours

03:00.10 yukonbob had that feeling the other day, after getting light-headed (s/8h/40h/) Orangina to the rescue for a temp. fix.
03:44.35 brlcad sees the light at the end of the tunnel
03:46.52 Twingy wonders what brlcad is doing in a tunnel
03:47.22 brlcad I'm apparently going towards the light ..
03:47.31 Twingy puts bug zapper at end of tunnel
03:48.15 brlcad eats the roasted bugs for protein
03:48.40 Twingy finishes writing arm7 asm to buffer pixel data from toshiba tcm8230md camera
03:54.12 poolio waves
03:55.10 brlcad waves back
03:55.55 poolio brlcad: so I'm sorry I didn't get started last week...my gramps is in the hospital, but I'm set and ready to go for next week
03:56.32 poolio brlcad: so I should just start going down the primitives list? :)
03:58.48 brlcad yeah, that sounds like a plan
03:59.37 brlcad a few of them already implement a *_nurb() callback that is very close if not identical to what you will likely be implementing, just not using the right data structure (doesn't use openNURBS)
04:01.33 brlcad the most important primitives are ell/sph, tgc, and the arbs if you're looking for somewhere to start
04:02.05 brlcad arbs should be the easiest ..
04:02.29 poolio k
04:19.45 poolio brlcad: for arbs, should I break it down case by case for the diff. arbs or try to come up with one algo to handle them all?
04:21.43 brlcad up to you
04:22.11 brlcad the solution for arbn might solve the arb[4-8]

19:24.36 ``Erik gets the urge to cook
22:12.34 brlcad thinks ``Erik spelled 'code' wrong
22:20.42 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r31180 10/brlcad/trunk/src/nirt/nirt.c: -e option works again, but supplying -f AFTER -e ignores the -f flag - need to find out why. Works if -f is used before -e.
22:24.43 starseeker_ Oh, I see - it's doing the flags "in order" and executing the -e before the -f flag is supplied
22:25.06 starseeker_ thinks about it and thinks perhaps this is intended behavior...
22:26.18 CIA-21 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r31181 10/brlcad/trunk/src/nirt/nirt.c: Initialization happens regardless, so only need it in one place - before if.
