17:16.02 claymore you didn't go vista, didja?
17:16.17 mafm nope, they sent me a recruitment message
17:16.28 claymore Oh well hell, go for it.
17:16.58 claymore My Brother in law works for them on the Silverlight project.... its an amazing company to work for, regardless of the public opinion of their products :)
17:19.36 mafm well, it depends where I would be going to be relocated :D
17:19.45 mafm but I'm not very thrilled
17:19.56 claymore There is only one place: Washington State ;)
17:19.59 claymore why not?
17:20.06 mafm I don't want to move there
17:20.22 claymore why not?
17:20.22 mafm and I don't like working on things that I don't like, in general
17:20.27 mafm personal reasons :P
17:20.38 mafm including familiar and so on :)
17:21.14 claymore Well, 'No good deal goes unpunished' so take the good with the bad and fine that place that fits you just right.
17:21.42 claymore Well if I got extended a deal to move back to the west coast, I would be there in an instant. No second thoughts.
17:24.28 mafm xD
17:24.42 mafm The west coast of US is about 9k km away from home
17:27.50 claymore True, but West coast is way better than East coast in my opinion. I am about 4.5k km away from where I grew up and where my family is... :/ its all about choices :)
17:29.37 mafm I've never been in the US but I probably won't like it very much
17:29.40 mafm :D

17:35.56 claymore Cool. And as for not liking the US, well don't knock it till ya try it. Come on over, you can stay at my place ;) The wife and I will clean out the spare bedroom!
17:37.33 mafm well, it's not that simple, I have my life here

17:37.43 mafm thanks for the offer anyway
17:37.56 mafm I hope to go at some point of visiting and so on
17:38.32 claymore Might I ask what you do for a living now?

17:49.23 starseeker wasn't clear if they wanted the GSOC folk to see more than just brlcad and `Erik or not...
17:49.28 starseeker ah
17:49.44 starseeker scowls at automake
17:50.33 claymore ah hell, I forgot to renew one of my domains... its in reconsiliation now *grumbles*
17:53.22 claymore Boooo. Bad joke: Penguin computing solutions just came out with a new gen of Blade servers... code named Bladerunners......
17:53.29 claymore hisses and jeers
17:54.08 starseeker are they at least good machines?
17:54.24 louipc were they trying to be funny or trying to be cool?
17:55.38 claymore louipc: I dunno.
17:56.19 claymore starseeker: Oh, they are great machines. I think the Bladerunner can get 960 cores into 25U space ( I think i read that right)
17:56.37 louipc 25U...
17:56.39 starseeker coool :-)
17:56.49 starseeker can forgive the bad joke
17:56.57 claymore starseeker: some of the newer server we have here are 2U penguin machines...
17:57.44 claymore lol 3.84TB of ram...lol
17:58.07 louipc that is some amazing power
17:59.01 claymore as thinking he could be #1 on the Seti@Home rankings in no time with that machine.....
18:01.38 claymore just think about the electrical power requirements of a computeNet like that at 100%.... lol
18:02.01 claymore "Hell, we lost power. Fire up all the backup generators, we need to reboot"
18:02.46 claymore How to make a power plant cry....
18:04.19 mafm back
18:05.03 starseeker heh - what nuclear power plants were invented for
18:06.17 claymore I need a nuke plant for my current server. 4 HD's and 7 80mm fans. Loud and power hungry!
18:26.50 mafm going home, take care :)
18:26.59 claymore later!
19:12.31 starseeker regrets not having an office to himself so he can yell at autotools properly
19:13.08 starseeker ok, when all else fails, back to square one - the docs
19:24.39 *** join/#brlcad Axman6 (n=Axman6@pdpc/supporter/student/Axman6)
20:31.24 brlcad starseeker: sup with autotools?
20:55.33 brlcad starseeker: I highly suspect I fixed that problem shortly after the nightly tests ran

21:53.22 *** join/#brlcad punkrockgirl (i=Pandora@c-69-247-220-102.hsd1.mo.comcast.net)
21:53.27 punkrockgirl hi
21:57.53 louipc hi
21:59.10 brlcad 'lo
21:59.43 starseeker brlcad: Trying to get a read on how to make automake and TEA play together - I think the time has finally come for me to come to grips with autotools
22:01.26 brlcad TEA sets a bunch of flags, those flags/variables are documented in the .m4 file -- you just have to make sure those flags get set to the appropriate FLAGS variables in the .am file
22:01.43 starseeker nods
22:02.34 starseeker I'm sure it's not difficult, but the fact I can't easily set it up underscores my need to do my homework
22:02.56 brlcad e.g. TEA_CONFIG_CFLAGS -- sets a whole bunch of flags, one being LDFLAGS
22:03.35 starseeker Would a proper Makefile.am remove the need for tcl.m4 altogether?
22:04.24 brlcad in configure, you'd want to capture the current LDFLAGS settings, run TEA_CONFIG_CFLAGS, store LDFLAGS into another variable (like TKHTML_LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS"), restore the original LDFLAGS, then use TKHTML_LDFLAGS in your .am file(s) as needed
22:04.33 brlcad no it wouldn't
22:04.48 punkrockgirl has anyone talked to erik?
22:04.55 brlcad .am files are just templates, they have no real inherint knowledge
22:04.59 brlcad punkrockgirl: probably
22:05.15 starseeker punkrockgirl: not me
22:05.33 brlcad somebody at some point somewhere has probably talked to him ;)
22:05.48 punkrockgirl i havent heard from him, so i'm making sure he is ok, i know he didnt feel good
22:07.51 brlcad he last chimed in here at 7pm est yesterday
22:08.15 brlcad er, 8pm actually
22:08.46 punkrockgirl yeah, i talked to him right before southpark and i called him after and he didnt answer :(
22:08.59 punkrockgirl i guess he is busy at work?
22:09.34 starseeker is he here?
22:09.35 starseeker looks
22:10.46 punkrockgirl is he not? :(
22:10.47 starseeker nope, door locked
22:10.47 punkrockgirl hmm
22:10.47 punkrockgirl ok now i'm worried then
22:10.47 punkrockgirl he called in sick yesterday
22:10.47 punkrockgirl he wouldnt call in twice in a row, he'd need a dr note right?
