04:48.55 brlcad glad to see the problem was found/fixed
04:49.00 brlcad john rocks
04:52.32 DanielFalck I didn't update the whole build last night - just dxf-g
04:52.40 DanielFalck it worked for rendering
04:54.18 DanielFalck has there been any motion on the g-stl tesselation bug having to do with revolved entities? I suppose I should read through the source to check.
05:07.43 brlcad shouldn't have needed to update everything
05:07.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r33564 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS:
05:07.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: bob changed the mged 'inside' command so that it'll no longer use the geometry
05:07.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: being edited as the outside solid. this removes functionality but helps make
05:07.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: mged stateless in the process (and was part of libged refactoring). reworded to
05:07.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: fit to a one-liner.

05:14.29 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r33565 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS:
05:14.29 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: john fixed a neat lil bug in dxf-g where it was creating double-edge sketch
05:14.29 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: objects when converting each wire edge. this fixes sf bug 2457527 (rendering
05:14.29 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: bug in revolved solid) by Dan Falck (ddfalck2002) where those same sketches
05:14.29 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: failed to render as a solid of revolution.
05:17.40 brlcad DanielFalck: that's not so much a bug as tess support just hasn't been implemented for revolves yet because they're so new
05:18.03 DanielFalck yes, sorry you are right
05:18.08 DanielFalck wrong term
05:18.11 brlcad rather, there was a bug where it crashes.. that was fixed, I believe .. but it still won't tessellate until someone writes that code ;)
05:18.38 DanielFalck would it help move things along if I put in a request on sourceforge?
05:19.31 brlcad couldn't hurt
05:19.43 DanielFalck ok, will do it. thanks
05:19.43 brlcad but would probably be more effective to just keep asking pacman87 about it
05:19.48 brlcad ~seen packman87
05:19.49 ibot brlcad: i haven't seen 'packman87'
05:19.53 brlcad ~seen pacman87
05:19.53 ibot pacman87 <n=Timothy@pool-71-170-39-105.dllstx.fios.verizon.net> was last seen on IRC in channel #bzflag, 14d 5h 17m 40s ago, saying: 'also, if you're planning on adding that info to the windows readme, the link there is broken, too'.
05:20.19 brlcad hm, looks like winter vacation isn't over yet
05:22.33 DanielFalck oh, whoops I already reported it in December.

14:27.05 d-lo s/you/your
14:27.49 brlcad good and bad
14:28.11 d-lo well thats good and sorry to hear that.
14:29.33 d-lo did you get to play in the snow at all?
14:33.50 brlcad nope, but had a nice party, did some shopping, did some work on the house, got some code done
14:40.44 d-lo house warming party or 'just because' party ?
14:48.47 brlcad playoff party
14:50.57 brlcad installing a new electrical outlet behind the TV was probably the most interesting 'challenge'.. that lil job took hours (mostly fishing finding ways to fish the power up through the wall
14:51.35 brlcad but it's in place now, no mistakes, no sparks, a thing of beauty
14:52.01 d-lo yeah, running 'old work' wires through a house is really rough unless you have one of those 'ulstrasonic interference finder' devices and a 200' phish reel :/
14:53.00 brlcad I had a phish reel and a stud/power finder
14:54.14 d-lo I had a friend down in white marsh that showed me a 'ultrasonic' device... shows everything behinds the wall...kinda like a fish finder. it was waaaaaay cool. trumped my B&D stud/power finder hands down :(
14:54.18 brlcad the reel helped a little bit, but I still had to drill 2.5" hole halfway to try and feed
14:54.40 brlcad ah one of those, yeah
14:54.57 d-lo heh, just rip down all the drywall, install conduit, wire and redrywall :)
14:55.02 brlcad I almost splurged for one of those lighted cameras that display to an lcd
14:55.29 d-lo oooh, those pseudo-spy camera things? neat!
14:56.17 brlcad this is the wall with the big tv, so the drywall is staying up there for quite a while :)
14:57.07 d-lo good deal.
14:57.31 d-lo Are you planning on running cat throughout the house? I can't remember if you are a wireless hater or not...
14:58.20 brlcad one of these: http://tiny.cc/M0301
14:58.47 brlcad i'm not a hater, but I do like a wired line running to my main server

14:59.57 brlcad heh, yours says that?
15:00.04 brlcad mine says 78% buy that item
15:00.14 d-lo is looking for a way to centralize all the cat6 in the vent shaft... might take some work :/

16:33.02 Dr_Phreakenstein brlcad: thanks a lot. now i have to buy one, too. recently got my first milwaukee corded drill, and now i know why people kill eachother over those things.
16:34.29 bjork_ i use a ridgid.
16:34.36 bjork_ the damned batteries are fried ...
16:34.41 Dr_Phreakenstein nice
16:34.53 bjork_ but the 18V li-ion ... very powerful
16:34.57 bjork_ and relatively light weight.
16:35.09 Dr_Phreakenstein milwaukee uses genuine panasonic batteries, as does bosch
16:35.23 Dr_Phreakenstein those are the only 2 choices, in my book
16:35.28 bjork_ i can drill holes with 5/16th screws into 1/4 inch thick steel sheets with it.
16:35.33 Dr_Phreakenstein even so, corded is the way for me
16:35.49 Dr_Phreakenstein yes, but how many?
16:35.59 bjork_ 1 per hole, usually.
16:36.07 bjork_ that's when i don't have a drill bit handy.
16:36.11 Dr_Phreakenstein per battery?
16:36.15 bjork_ oh no.
16:36.23 bjork_ the battery lasts several holes.
16:36.44 bjork_ i think something in the circuitry is gone bye-bye and so i have to have those replaced.
16:37.06 Dr_Phreakenstein i have a lot of extension cords, so i just skip the battery altogether.
16:37.28 bjork_ i hardly ever use chorded drills unless i'm drilling into an I-beam or something.
16:37.41 Dr_Phreakenstein which I do
16:37.49 bjork_ oh alright.
16:37.53 bjork_ what for? the heck of it?
16:38.14 Dr_Phreakenstein no, building my machine shop
16:38.47 bjork_ cooooooool!
16:39.36 Dr_Phreakenstein i even insist on keyed chucks. keyless does not grip well enough on a 1/2" TiN drill bit through 1" mild steel
16:39.51 bjork_ so you already have the machines for the shop?
16:40.32 Dr_Phreakenstein going to auction thursday
16:40.37 bjork_ really nice.
16:40.40 Dr_Phreakenstein toes crossed
16:40.46 bjork_ but what do you need one for?
16:40.48 louipc 1/2 drill is a bit big for keyless isn't it?
16:41.14 ``Erik likes his makita
16:41.30 Dr_Phreakenstein yes, they do not hold stil. even cheap keyed chucks do not suffice
16:41.49 louipc oh you're talking about hand drills?
16:41.51 Dr_Phreakenstein makita is my 3rd choice
16:41.56 Dr_Phreakenstein yes
16:42.10 louipc I guess it still applies
16:42.21 bjork_ it's ridgid, hilti for #2, and bosch #3
16:42.30 bjork_ hilti's are not too cheap though.
16:43.06 Dr_Phreakenstein now, i like the ridgid model 535 pipe machine, and i have one of their plumbing snakes nice
16:43.50 bjork_ what do you need a machine shop for, Dr_Phreakenstein?
16:44.20 Dr_Phreakenstein making money
16:45.26 bjork_ are you a machinist?
16:45.30 Dr_Phreakenstein I am taking classes now to become a machinist, but since i was in the army, i decided that i have worked for my last employer
16:45.31 louipc my machine shop made chips but no money :(
16:45.41 Dr_Phreakenstein bummer
16:46.04 bjork_ custom parts and what not ?
16:46.35 louipc you need CNC to make money nowadays
16:47.01 ``Erik meh, I can't spend too much money on tools, I'm using craftsman instead of snapon for hand tools :D
16:47.03 archivist for certain 1 offs non cnc is faster
16:47.30 bjork_ ``Erik, craftsman replaces your tools for free so it's still a good choice.
16:47.55 louipc money isn't really made on one-offs though
16:48.09 louipc so you still need CNC to make money ;)
16:48.15 bjork_ but if you're doing batch work, you'll be competing with the chinese.
16:48.16 archivist canbe, I do 1 off gears, but on cnc
16:49.02 louipc yeah and the chinese have shiny new tools
16:49.08 ``Erik scratches his head and tries to figure out why there's some christian prayer going on during the inaguration
16:49.47 Dr_Phreakenstein yeah, one of the machines for sale (actually they have 17) is cnc
16:50.36 archivist I need 5 axix to cut my setup time down
16:50.44 Dr_Phreakenstein Dr_Phreakenstein scratches his head and tries to figure out why Erik is watching the inaguration
16:50.55 Dr_Phreakenstein well, i gotta start somewhere
16:50.59 louipc get a lathe with bar feed, part catcher, then you can pump out parts.
16:51.21 Dr_Phreakenstein :)
16:51.23 ``Erik the un-bush, and the first black president of the us *shrug* at least I'm watching the bbc feed instead of fox :D
16:51.43 archivist in BBC land not watching :)
16:51.56 Dr_Phreakenstein good for you, both
16:52.17 louipc I'll check that out on the tele
16:52.24 louipc how long is it supposed to go on for?
16:52.46 ``Erik 'bbc america' is regional and lame, though :( when I was in memphis, they showed tons of comedy like abfab, monty python, black adder, etc... here it's all stupid semi-reality show crap about dirty houses and shit
16:53.03 archivist I want bar fed cnc sliding head lathe, I my scrounge a freebee and add cnc to it
16:53.05 bjork_ he's NOT black!
16:53.08 bjork_ geezus bleeding christ!
16:53.51 Dr_Phreakenstein well, i hate to leave this, but gotta go to class and make chips!
16:53.55 louipc well he's close enough for people to make a frenzy out of it
16:54.06 bjork_ he's the first mixed president, that's for sure.
16:54.18 bjork_ he's neither black nor white.
16:54.32 ``Erik most of the US considers him black, though *shrug* imagine it goes back to that "one drop" mentality :/
16:55.11 bjork_ stupidity on display for the whole world to see.
16:55.39 bjork_ i thought they called slick willie the first black president too at one point.
16:57.18 ``Erik I thought that was due to childhood background, not ethnicity
16:58.01 bjork_ i have no idea.
16:58.18 bjork_ so if obama's dad had been latino, he'd be the first latino president?
16:58.25 bjork_ instead of the first mullato?
16:59.37 ``Erik if you wanna go down that slippery slope, we're all africans
17:00.16 brlcad ``Erik: I saw the note, looked good (and they were better to be listed)
17:00.33 bjork_ hahaha
17:00.39 ``Erik but general perception of the populace is that he is black, *shrug* so it's a fairly important paradigm change :)
17:01.21 ``Erik aight, brlcad, I got a call from the bc just before the meeting, so I had no clue what I was walking in to and what I could/should commit us to
17:01.29 bjork_ i still think it's unfair. the world is simply not strictly binary.
17:02.07 ``Erik ok, mebbe it's better to look at what he is not than what he is... he's not an old white guy
17:02.55 ``Erik hopefully it's a sign that bigotry and prejudice and racism are dying out
17:05.04 bjork_ hahaha
17:05.28 bjork_ as long as humans remain, it'll be a primary element of social behavior.
17:05.43 bjork_ overtly it no longer is that bad.
17:05.50 bjork_ but people'll find ways and means.
17:06.23 bjork_ s.a. suffered from the arpatheid regime for so long. black s.a-cans gained power...
17:06.45 bjork_ and what do they do to the zimbabwe refugees, who are just like them? they murder them and beat them up.
17:06.47 ``Erik oh, there'll be some way we break outselves out into smaller tribes, but mebbe it'll shift to merit instead of heredity
17:06.55 bjork_ yeah.

20:42.01 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: Add new routines to libbu for temporarily suspending signal handling via a new
20:42.01 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: bu_suspend_signal() and bu_restore_signal() interface. the previous handler is
20:42.01 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: stashed and later restored. if that signal is received while suspended, the

22:20.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: since there are protections at the lower-level db_write(). db_diradd() might
22:20.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: also need bu_suspend_signal() proections but since it's all in-memory, it
22:20.57 CIA-4 BRL-CAD: souldn't matter if it gets a signal that interrupts.
