03:05.03 PrezKennedy brlcad, i looked up sgiflight in google and all im getting is an irc log of when you talked about it
03:09.17 Ralith lol
03:14.38 PrezKennedy "sgi flight" has a couple more, but it sure makes me glad i grabbed a copy of it when it was available
03:47.22 brlcad PrezKennedy: yeah, I have a copy somewhere around here
03:48.20 PrezKennedy i would think it might work ok in a windows 95 virtual machine

10:11.58 mafm hi
10:55.14 claymore hai!
12:20.14 mafm hai! can I haz tubez?
12:21.44 clock_ was tuning the Impossibility Drive yesterday
12:21.57 clock_ brlcad: do you in the army already have the Improbability Drive/
12:29.15 claymore clock: We probably do. ;)
12:30.12 clock_ I need to get some kind of variable resistor that doesn't produce extra noise (1-10 MHz) when varied and doesn't have higher noise than the thermal noise of ordinary resistor
12:30.35 clock_ Would it be possible to create a non-electrolytically conductive liquid by suspending soot particles in mineral oil?
12:33.33 claymore Possibly, but how would you vary the conducivity accurately & easily?
13:06.00 *** join/#brlcad ``Erik (n=erik@ftp.brlcad.org)
14:07.07 *** join/#brlcad geocalc (n=geocalc@91-171-193-121.rev.libertysurf.net)
14:08.31 brlcad clock_: it's probable
14:09.02 clock_ clock_: it doesn't have to be accurate, since it will be controlled by a feedback loop
14:09.20 clock_ brlcad: XEROX / laser toner is supposed to be soot?
14:09.43 brlcad pretty much
14:10.04 clock_ I have a desoldering plunger made of conductive plastic, antistatic
14:10.08 clock_ Ohmmeter showed 900 ohms
14:10.16 clock_ I guess that's plastic filled with soot?
14:10.48 clock_ I think when I build it I should show it to some engineers from a commercial optics company
14:11.13 clock_ they will get a heart attack when they see what kind of garage contraption can outperform their posh transimpedance amplifiers by orders of magnitude
14:11.32 clock_ here comes a chinese lens, here a bit of soot, here smoke pipes

16:18.24 ``Erik_ ok, I think I'm done for the day :D
16:19.28 starseeker heh
16:19.48 starseeker aren't you going to quash the fake thickness bug? ;-)
16:20.09 ``Erik_ eh? fake thickness bug?
16:20.33 starseeker that visual you have of the thin metaball edge that you think is floating point fuzz?
16:20.34 ``Erik_ "plate mode" is a bug? or did I miss something?
16:20.38 ``Erik_ oh
16:20.42 ``Erik_ uh, some day
16:21.34 ``Erik_ the proc-db is gonna give me a nice stack of fruity demo images and test cases to figure crap out
16:21.55 starseeker ah :-)
16:22.04 ``Erik_ I wrote a C program to generate mged commands a while ago, but it was too limited

21:05.52 ``Erik_ are there any other kind?
21:08.22 ``Erik_ ok, there, tested :D happy? it passed the "does it compile?" test

21:57.21 yukonbob hello, cadheads
21:57.27 starseeker howdy
21:57.32 yukonbob hey starseeker
21:57.36 yukonbob how's your day going?
21:57.40 starseeker not too bad
21:57.46 starseeker gym kicked my butt
21:58.27 yukonbob has never had butt kicked by gym...
21:58.39 yukonbob <-- (rarely goes to gyms ;) )
21:58.51 starseeker heh
22:00.05 yukonbob needs to get one of his bicycles on the road though -- went for quite a nice ride other week (on borrowed bike), and _does_ need to improve fitness...
22:00.30 starseeker needs to achieve some state from which fitness is distantly visible as a goal...
22:00.48 yukonbob heh...
22:01.22 yukonbob good luck w/ the gym, then... if you get in the habit, I'm sure you'll come to the space where a distantly visible goal emerges ;)
