02:19.43 Ralith you can get videos onto rockbox anything
02:19.45 Ralith it's pretty insane
02:19.57 Ralith even my 4-tone-grayscale iaudio can do video thanks to rockbox.

13:33.22 d-lo starseeker: How did the Photoshoot go?
13:33.52 archivist starseeker pr0n?
13:33.59 d-lo brlcad: I can't remember, did you get the D40 or D50?
13:34.27 d-lo archivist: Depends on your definition of that. But it involves sexy army tanks :)
13:34.38 archivist :)
13:37.10 archivist Im slowly researching one of the first tank experiments which was a local event
13:38.11 brlcad d-lo: D90
13:38.27 d-lo ah, Samsonite. I was way off.

13:47.04 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r33532 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO:
13:47.04 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: the incrTcl pathing issues should now all be fixed when using system tcl/tk.
13:47.04 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: the result, though, is that now there is some other initialization bug that
13:47.04 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: causes mged to crash (bwish works) inside the display manager on X11 calls.

14:13.18 starseeker d-lo: quite well, actually
14:13.26 starseeker archivist: tank pr0n :-)
14:13.32 archivist :)
14:13.55 starseeker nice tank photos, was working on them this weekend actually
14:13.55 archivist you got mk1 permission?
14:14.04 starseeker mk1?
14:14.26 starseeker mark 1 you mean?
14:14.33 archivist the very early ww1 tank
14:14.41 starseeker we switched to the Mark VIII
14:14.56 starseeker have the handbook of the guts - very useful for this sort of thing :-)
14:15.25 starseeker early British docs are stuck in their National Archives, but the Mark VIII was produced in the US :-)
14:15.35 starseeker better odds
14:16.15 archivist I have to go to London sometime to rummage for the prototype stuff
14:17.26 starseeker cool
14:18.03 starseeker If there is a museum somewhere that has plans for the Mark I or Mark IV and wouldn't slap copyright on any copies, that would be interesting
14:18.07 archivist holiday work, when I get a new round tuit
14:18.12 starseeker nods
14:18.45 archivist differen museums have different attitudes
14:19.26 starseeker right - but it wouldn't make much sense for an open source project to work hard to get ahold of photographs that can't be used in an open source context
14:19.44 starseeker archivist: Your work might have more flexibility though
14:20.22 archivist its all about generating money to sustain the museums
14:20.27 *** join/#brlcad Elrohir (n=kvirc@p5B14F929.dip.t-dialin.net)
14:20.40 starseeker Oh, sure
14:20.48 starseeker I never said I didn't understand the motivation
14:21.05 starseeker but I happen to think it's one of the things tax dollars are SUPPOSED to be used for
14:21.06 archivist my project will be a small book with local interest
14:21.39 archivist UK museums are tending to be independent charities these days
14:21.46 starseeker you never know ;-)
14:23.43 starseeker that's a pity :-(
14:23.44 archivist amongst the old computer collectors there is a lot of scanning and placing online going on. dont see too many companies beating them up yet
14:24.16 archivist one or two are positively helping
14:24.50 starseeker the distinction between "Can sue successfully, but aren't" and "Can't sue successfully" is important to a lot of folks in the open source world
14:25.12 starseeker although the legal system is so murky sometimes I think the distinction is a bit fuzzy - see SCO :-/
14:26.05 archivist I watched SCO from the beginning
14:26.55 starseeker almost wondered with that latest bit of news if SCO is deliberately trying to be the biggest jerk possible to the open source world, just for the sake of being a jerk
14:27.17 starseeker selling off the remaining actual assets simply to pursue litigation... ugh
14:27.23 starseeker feels queasy
14:30.17 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r33533 10/brlcad/trunk/include/bu.h: minor comment
14:30.41 archivist some just dont know when they are beaten
14:31.18 starseeker predicts some flash based game where zombies wearing the SCO logo are chasing after penguins
14:31.27 archivist hehe
14:43.24 ``Erik sco was a good guy in the early 80's :( it was the caldera buyout and change in mgmt that made 'em suck
14:44.03 ``Erik and the chief jerk, darl mcbride, had fucked up a slew of other companies before the one we just happened to notice

17:28.06 IriX64 noted thank you
17:28.58 IriX64 if i take that to russia, think they'll give me a ride in it :)
17:30.25 IriX64 that tkhtml3 install thing, any word?
17:30.40 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r33540 10/brlcad/trunk/ (INSTALL doc/README.MacOSX): include some additional documentation on enabling 64-bit compilation and details on universal builds for mac
17:31.52 brlcad I need more detail than "that tkhtml3 install thing"
17:32.15 *** join/#brlcad BigAToo (n=BigAToo@pool-96-230-124-227.sbndin.btas.verizon.net)
17:36.36 IriX64 ill re-install and pastebin the error messsages
17:40.41 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/gb5sTW33.html <--- install time error
17:41.31 IriX64 wasn't sure i should let you see it, my system is not normal but it is unixish in nature
17:46.01 brlcad IriX64: what's not normal is that you still say that same "my system is not normal" disclaimer after what? 3 years?
17:46.49 IriX64 heh im "trying" to make it normal :)
17:47.43 IriX64 figured you'd see cygdrive and be all over me :)
17:48.37 brlcad have I ever been?
17:48.45 brlcad you say that every time too
17:48.56 IriX64 much to your credit as a channel op, you have ;)
17:49.45 brlcad i've not been on you for running cygwin, I've been on you for random chatter in the channel and useless pastebins
17:50.10 IriX64 true, ill avoid usefull pastebens like the plague
17:50.38 brlcad as for that install error in tkhtml3, looks like maybe you're compiling against a system Tcl/Tk?
17:50.56 IriX64 btw cp tclsh.exe tclsh85.exe works wonders as a workaround
17:51.01 IriX64 no your tcl tk
17:51.44 IriX64 i tried system 8.5.5, error is still there and at run time you guys tell me you have 8.5.5 but we need exactly whatever your version is
17:51.54 brlcad then it looks like Tcl didn't compile correctly
17:52.50 IriX64 i deinstalled my 8.5.5
17:53.16 IriX64 much to your credit tho configure found it and everyybody was happy at build time
17:53.59 brlcad what?
17:54.15 IriX64 tcl/tk8.5.5
17:54.57 brlcad you're not making sense
17:55.03 brlcad is that a install failure or is it not?
17:55.17 brlcad the pastebin indicates that it cannot run tclsh
17:55.59 brlcad it's failing inside the init.tcl initial load script, which shouldn't happen unless you've got other parts of tcl messed up
17:56.25 brlcad it could be a tcl build system bug, in which case you should report it to their tracker
17:56.53 IriX64 understood
17:57.55 brlcad can even give them the exact same pastebin text for the bug report
17:58.07 IriX64 thanks i will
17:58.10 brlcad could try installing tclsh first, then see if it runs
17:58.22 brlcad i.e. just run "tclsh" .. see if it gives you that message
17:59.01 IriX64 i get the % prompt
17:59.38 brlcad is that the tclsh that was just built?

18:02.26 IriX64 tclsh8.5 gives me a % prompt yes
18:06.20 brlcad then it sounds like it's something screwy probably in the tkhtml build
18:06.30 brlcad not a tcl build bug
18:06.35 IriX64 agreed
18:07.09 brlcad probably something with either TCL_LIBRARY or TCLLIBPATH on that line
