12:02.40 d-lo yawns.
12:02.54 d-lo Bitter cold and snowy morning to all!
12:03.22 archivist stop whining about the snow :)
12:03.59 d-lo Don't mind the snow, its the nasty 30 mph wind that I don't like :)
12:04.04 alex_joni nice warm and sunny here
12:04.28 d-lo Really tested the CCA on the Jeep's Battery this morning, lol.
12:04.41 d-lo alex_joni: Email me some 'warm and sunny' please!
12:04.50 archivist press is over dramatising the snow here in the UK
12:05.50 d-lo archivist: I take it that you too deal with, "ZOMG, 5cm of show... ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!" ?
12:06.21 archivist hehe yea
12:07.02 d-lo Last week, we got a 'dusting'... seriously < 1mm snow... and they shutdown all public and private schools for 2 hours....
12:07.06 archivist Ive offered to go fetch a customer who was going to come today
12:07.12 d-lo lol
12:07.25 d-lo now *THATS* customer service.
12:07.44 Dr_Phreakenstein business must be bad to need customers *that* much
12:07.45 Dr_Phreakenstein ;)
12:07.46 archivist he was the president of a car club, he is a wimp
12:08.06 Dr_Phreakenstein now if he was pres of 4wd club..
12:08.11 d-lo fancy shmancy cars?
12:08.14 Dr_Phreakenstein no problem for him
12:08.23 d-lo Dr_Phreakenstein: Exactly what I was thinking.
12:08.28 archivist hehe tha would be funny, he does own a Freelander
12:09.28 d-lo well, to be fair, most (if not all) mainstream SUV's aren't designed to handle any offroading any more :/
12:09.42 d-lo Landrover probably has a better rep than most, but still.
12:10.49 Dr_Phreakenstein true
12:11.01 archivist takes some snow to stop a Series 3 Landrover I had some fun years ago
12:11.42 Dr_Phreakenstein (Dr_Phreakenstein cannot remember seeing a dirty SUV recently)
12:11.55 archivist bent a wing going flat out into a snow drift, we pulled it straight and carried on
12:12.43 Dr_Phreakenstein I remember passing people in the snow, while driving my valiant with bald tires, dead suspension
12:12.59 Dr_Phreakenstein actual 4wd and awd suvs
12:13.04 d-lo for instance, I come from a 'Jeep' family. My most recent Jeep is a '08 Patriot... a bit more 'smooth ride' than 'rough and tough', but still a good car.... I took it on the small dirt/snow hills in my housing development last week and had nearlyt all my neighbors staring in awe. My thought is, "Its a Jeep silly, what did you expect me to do with it?"
12:13.19 Dr_Phreakenstein no kidding
12:13.20 *** join/#brlcad csanyipal (n=csanyipa@25-144-85-95.dynamic.stcable.net)
12:13.30 archivist yup go out and enjoy
12:13.52 csanyipal howdy
12:13.56 Dr_Phreakenstein although, my caravan has also proven off-road worthy
12:13.57 csanyipal Howdy!
12:14.00 Dr_Phreakenstein howdy!
12:14.14 d-lo On a different note, when ever I see a full size truck or nice SUV 'pimped out' with windows, rims and a stereo.... I get very angry.
12:14.30 Dr_Phreakenstein just gotta watch out for that pesky ABS controller
12:14.33 d-lo Howdy csanyipal
12:14.33 Dr_Phreakenstein yeah...
12:14.41 Dr_Phreakenstein you cannot put chains on those
12:14.48 d-lo Caravan... as in Dodge Caravan?
12:14.52 Dr_Phreakenstein yup
12:15.02 d-lo What year? I love those vans :)
12:15.07 Dr_Phreakenstein 2000
12:15.14 Dr_Phreakenstein 36.3 flex
12:15.18 Dr_Phreakenstein 3.3
12:15.30 d-lo Nice. We have an '03 and I love how easy the maintenance is on the 3.3 :)
12:15.41 Dr_Phreakenstein they are the best
12:15.56 Dr_Phreakenstein i will always buy them, too easy to fix
12:16.13 Dr_Phreakenstein as long as you do not have to access rear cyl bank, as for plugs
12:16.39 Dr_Phreakenstein i put some 100k mile bosch plugs on there, so no problem for a while
12:17.16 d-lo heh, well, I draw the line maintenance like that. Too time intensive for me. Easier to drop it off and wait a day while someone else deals with that.
12:17.36 Dr_Phreakenstein installed class III hitch, HD shocks, prodigy electronic brake controller
12:17.49 d-lo Alternator, belts, plugs, breaks.. (basically the easy stuff) is what I tend to do myself.
12:17.53 d-lo What do you pull with it?
12:18.04 Dr_Phreakenstein switch to valvoline P/N vv935 oil
12:18.23 Dr_Phreakenstein going to WA to get some stuff from Grizzly
12:18.39 d-lo Grizzly = ?
12:18.40 Dr_Phreakenstein Milling machine and sheet metal shear
12:18.55 d-lo ah, Heavy Metal :)
12:19.07 Dr_Phreakenstein http://www.grizzly.com/products/9-x-32-Gear-Head-Mill-Drill-with-Stand/G0484
12:19.44 archivist expects EMC2 on it in a while
12:20.04 d-lo Buy or lease?
12:20.17 Dr_Phreakenstein http://www.grizzly.com/products/52-16-Gauge-Foot-Shear/T20797
12:20.19 Dr_Phreakenstein buy
12:20.30 d-lo nice, whats the Price Tag on a bachine like that?
12:20.35 Dr_Phreakenstein archivist :)
12:20.47 Dr_Phreakenstein shear, 1200
12:21.07 Dr_Phreakenstein mill 2000
12:21.09 d-lo nice 1/2 ton. No problem! lol
12:21.32 d-lo Use for Business or hobby?
12:21.37 Dr_Phreakenstein also some small misc stuff, arbor press, tooling, etc
12:21.44 Dr_Phreakenstein 110 systems, llc
12:22.13 d-lo as in 110V electricity?
12:22.25 Dr_Phreakenstein actually, my cousing has designed a cnc controller and software, so i will be suing that
12:22.39 Dr_Phreakenstein actually, name was picked from when we did email
12:22.43 Dr_Phreakenstein port 110
12:22.51 d-lo nice :)
12:22.58 Dr_Phreakenstein also 110 punchdown, as in low-volt wiring
12:23.10 d-lo 'cause I was going to point out that the Mill Grill is 220V ;)
12:23.22 Dr_Phreakenstein :)
12:23.38 Dr_Phreakenstein yes, but that is in lieu of 440 3 ph
12:24.06 Dr_Phreakenstein the power company will accept 3 easy payments of $5000 to hook it up
12:24.17 Dr_Phreakenstein 220 is easier to find
12:24.29 Dr_Phreakenstein as in make my wife wait to use the dryer
12:24.54 d-lo is not a big fan of 440/450/480V.... took 500Vdc though the heart when I was in the Navy.... I still get a bit shy when doing ANY electrical work, lol.
12:25.07 Dr_Phreakenstein fair enough
12:25.09 d-lo 3 easy payments eh? LOL.
12:25.37 Dr_Phreakenstein oh, and that only brings power to the bottom of the pole
12:25.53 d-lo Start asking around to see if anyone carries a 220V '6-strip' and see what kind of looks you get :)
12:25.53 Dr_Phreakenstein i still have to dig trench, do panel, meter, etc in premise
12:26.07 d-lo save cost... don't install a meter :)
12:26.18 Dr_Phreakenstein i like your style
12:26.39 Dr_Phreakenstein just get some mueller alligator clips on the pole
12:27.07 Dr_Phreakenstein (remember to use fiberglass ladder for that job)
12:27.40 d-lo Well, I *WAS* going to suggest building a ghetto Current Transformer by looping some insulated cable around the power lines :) You can claim that they weren't using the Magnetic field anyways and that you are 'recycling' of sorts :)
12:27.57 Dr_Phreakenstein hmmm....
12:28.02 Dr_Phreakenstein i have heard of this
12:28.38 Dr_Phreakenstein also, it would give me a more reasonable voltage, albeit a little light on the current
12:29.11 d-lo I have done it with 110V in the house... but it was more of a "Hrm, can I build a Current Sensor with a wire and a Voltmeter"
12:29.36 Dr_Phreakenstein the method that i like is to get in as the prototype machine shop in a startup company... free rent and electricity
12:29.47 Dr_Phreakenstein i know 2 shops that do that
12:30.15 d-lo Excellent angle.... never thought about that.
12:30.22 d-lo Nothing beats free.
12:30.29 Dr_Phreakenstein :)
12:30.53 Dr_Phreakenstein found APC UPSs at the local metal scrapper...
12:31.02 Dr_Phreakenstein $12.50 apiece
12:31.03 d-lo So, what kind of products/services does your company provide?
12:31.06 Dr_Phreakenstein 1500 VA
12:31.09 d-lo ..still functional?
12:31.15 Dr_Phreakenstein what do you need?
12:31.22 Dr_Phreakenstein I have a forklift for sale
12:31.25 d-lo just curious.
12:31.25 Dr_Phreakenstein yes
12:31.42 Dr_Phreakenstein got it at HP machine shop auction
12:31.43 d-lo lol, now the wife would really hate me if I brought home a forklift. lol
12:31.59 Dr_Phreakenstein why do you think I am selling mine
12:32.00 Dr_Phreakenstein :)
12:32.04 d-lo She grimaces everytime I tell her I am swinging by Home Depot....
12:32.10 Dr_Phreakenstein lol
12:32.17 Dr_Phreakenstein nice
12:32.28 Dr_Phreakenstein we have an industrial wholesaler here...
12:32.49 d-lo I could probably justify it by saying a forklist will facilitate moving the furnature around easier.... (and make it MUCH more fun)
12:32.53 d-lo hrm......
12:33.29 Dr_Phreakenstein I did not know it would take so long, but my wife and kids waited an hour while I bought nuts and bolts one day... in bulk it took them 35 minutes to ring me up
12:33.42 Dr_Phreakenstein she may go for a pallet jack
12:33.50 d-lo bah, I am saving for a Deck... can't swing a forklift right now :(
12:34.09 Dr_Phreakenstein then, when that proves insufficient, you can justify the upgrade
12:34.23 d-lo Personally, I always thought one of those selfpropelled cherry pickers would be a blast.
12:34.24 Dr_Phreakenstein oh, but i can sell it so cheap!
12:34.27 d-lo lol
12:34.33 Dr_Phreakenstein they are
12:34.41 Dr_Phreakenstein careful not to tip
12:34.50 d-lo shipping would be a bitch though :) You're West Coast USA?
12:34.58 Dr_Phreakenstein oregon, yes
12:35.19 Dr_Phreakenstein it is on my dad's truck right now, I could swing by your location
12:35.21 d-lo wonders if there is a Guiness Record for driving cross-country in a forklift....
12:35.27 Dr_Phreakenstein :)
12:35.46 Dr_Phreakenstein um, with it's electric battery, not sure about that one
12:36.12 d-lo Solar panels and craftsman gennies baby... yeah!
12:36.20 Dr_Phreakenstein hey, but you could make a wicked UPS with a 24 v, 1120 AH battery
12:37.03 Dr_Phreakenstein that sounds efficient as can be
12:37.34 d-lo UPS's are only good to hold the line voltage and current whilst the 'ballsy Diesel' back up gennie fires up on UV start :)
12:38.02 d-lo I *almost* have my wife sold on a multi-fuel back up gennie for the house.
12:38.03 Dr_Phreakenstein yes, but this could hold line voltage for your neighborhood
12:38.05 d-lo ..almost.
12:38.21 Dr_Phreakenstein hmmm
12:38.29 d-lo I figure, 1 or 2 more sustaned power outtages will sway her.
12:38.44 Dr_Phreakenstein tell her you will bury it underground to make it quieter
12:38.52 Dr_Phreakenstein that can be arranged...
12:38.52 d-lo lol
12:38.54 Dr_Phreakenstein ;)
12:39.15 d-lo Oh, we are in a new development, so the retarded 'low wage' workers knock out power quite regularly.
12:39.29 d-lo I laugh heartly every time it happens.
12:39.38 Dr_Phreakenstein nice
12:40.27 d-lo its kind of funny to look outside and see a 15 ton CAT front loader backed over a transformer enclosure with 4 workers standing 50 ft away, just staring.
12:40.56 Dr_Phreakenstein ...oops...
12:41.26 d-lo Once i was assured that no one got hurt, I just laughed and laughed.
12:41.49 Dr_Phreakenstein wonders if that is as funny as seeing D-10 cat on it's side next to a HETT, and an 88m doing pushups in the ditch
12:42.11 d-lo lol
12:42.58 Dr_Phreakenstein i sure laughed (once I was out of earshot of her leadership, yes, her)
12:43.14 d-lo now thats funny.
12:43.52 Dr_Phreakenstein i even returned to take a picture, but i could not get there until after PT, and it was up by then
12:44.06 d-lo I work with a guy who was ex-Army, I forget his MOS, but his primary role was HETT and HEMMIT(spelling?) mechanic.... oh man, the stories he has...
12:44.16 Dr_Phreakenstein 2 88 wreckers will lift anything in a hurry
12:44.25 Dr_Phreakenstein HEMMT
12:44.30 Dr_Phreakenstein i bet
12:44.36 d-lo righto, thanks.
12:44.46 Dr_Phreakenstein drove one once
12:45.03 d-lo I got used to 10 years of Navy acronyms and then switched up and joined the Army as a civ.... whole new world lol.
12:45.34 d-lo drove? I was impressed enough with riding in one.
12:45.56 Dr_Phreakenstein I was new to army, and they needed people to drive vehicles onto a train car. so they gave me a license for everything in the motorpool, minus forklift
12:46.17 Dr_Phreakenstein ironically, a forklift was all that i had ever been trained on...
12:46.40 Dr_Phreakenstein so, there was this sea of armored vehicles...
12:47.06 Dr_Phreakenstein I soon tired of APCs and HMMWVs, so i tried other stuff
12:47.15 d-lo my current favorite military vehicle:
12:47.21 d-lo http://patdollard.com/wp-content/uploads/land_mrap_img_maxxpro_cat-1_final_lg.jpg
12:47.48 Dr_Phreakenstein Bradley... 88, HEMMT, LMTV, LMTV with tractor-trailer, and some other stuff
12:47.54 Dr_Phreakenstein nice
12:48.25 Dr_Phreakenstein those are nice to ride in, even nicer to drive
12:48.36 Dr_Phreakenstein I am a big International fan
12:48.58 d-lo Of all the Army vehicles, the IMG MAXXPRO is the only one I have a lot of experience with... and me likes :) If I could get one for home, I would.
12:49.08 Dr_Phreakenstein actually, my Yale forklift is sitting on a 1970 International Loadstar 1800
12:49.24 d-lo "Oh, so you want to tailgate me? Let me just perform a brake check."
12:49.35 Dr_Phreakenstein the good ole 113 is kinda fun, if you have one in good shape
12:49.56 d-lo bah, I need to work now :/
12:50.01 Dr_Phreakenstein yeah, maxpro stops alright
12:50.09 Dr_Phreakenstein one more thing
12:50.42 Dr_Phreakenstein look into installing sach's "nivomat" suspension in your van
12:51.08 Dr_Phreakenstein you can get it online for about 250 per shock (rear only)
12:51.38 Dr_Phreakenstein wish i new about it before getting those monroe shocks i got... not bad, but self-levelling is the best
12:51.50 d-lo nivomat eh?
12:51.52 Dr_Phreakenstein available with factory tow package, too
12:51.56 Dr_Phreakenstein yup
12:51.56 d-lo I'll look it up.

20:20.31 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03davidloman * r33678 10/rt^3/trunk/src/ (4 files in 3 dirs): Continuing work for gsph0. gsph0 now communicating with gsph0_test during Hostname exchange and new session request.
20:23.38 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03davidloman * r33679 10/rt^3/trunk/src/tests/java/ (8 files): Continuing work for gsph0_Test. gsph0_Test now communicating with gsph0 during Hostname exchange and new session request.
20:24.58 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03davidloman * r33680 10/rt^3/trunk/src/iBME/testing.g: Simple example .g for file transfer testing.
20:26.52 ``Erik brlcad, *ping*
20:33.01 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r33681 10/brlcad/trunk/src/adrt/librender/cut.c: darwin doesn't seem to like pointers to stack addresses in library functions being dereferenced, so malloc() (and free) the cutter geometry (fixes bus fault).
20:55.12 *** join/#brlcad _sushi_ (n=_sushi_@77-58-230-228.dclient.hispeed.ch)
22:14.57 *** join/#brlcad Elrohir (n=kvirc@p5B14E377.dip.t-dialin.net)
22:26.40 brlcad ``Erik: points to stack data should be just fine on darwin -- perhaps stack corruption
22:48.21 *** join/#brlcad BigAToo (n=BigAToo@pool-96-230-124-48.sbndin.btas.verizon.net)
23:18.33 ``Erik hrm, it's two function calls that don't do jack iwth the stack, when I put it through the debugger, it looks like a reasonable address (and consistant)
23:18.59 ``Erik and it's a bus fault, not a seg fault, which is odd in itself
23:19.30 brlcad mm
23:19.33 brlcad i still don't buy it
23:19.46 ``Erik *shrug* that change made the problem go away, mebbe I'll explore it a bit later
23:19.54 brlcad those are simple floats in an array on the stack
23:20.23 ``Erik yeah, with a few levels of indirection in the mix... it sees into the first pointer ok, btu the second is inaccessable
23:20.32 starseeker brlcad: should I incorporate the existing mged regression testing into what I'm doing or do you want to keep it as its own routine?
23:20.39 brlcad there should be no problem passing around pointers to that -- maybe somewhere it gets cast to the wrong pointer type, like a bad double/triple pointer cast
23:20.43 ``Erik I d'no, if I decide to think about it, mebbe I'll revert it and step through it
23:20.55 brlcad that'd be something that might turn out fine on some environments
23:21.07 brlcad depending on the alignment
23:21.17 ``Erik given that it uses the same type everywhere along the path, and it's nicely aligned, I 'dno about that
23:21.36 brlcad starseeker: what are you doing?
23:21.38 ``Erik unless there're some funky compile option differences between the various libs
23:22.13 ``Erik if I think about it between now and tomorrow, I'll try stepping it to see what's up *shrug*
23:22.21 brlcad *shrug*
23:22.28 brlcad looked like it was during prep, so not a big issue
23:22.34 ``Erik yup
23:22.35 starseeker brlcad: The mged/libged regression testing - should I just suck the stuff you did to test mged command functionality into one big mged test, or did you want to retain your routine as a separate entity?
23:22.37 brlcad but just don't think it's a darwin thing
23:22.49 ``Erik that's the only place it exhibited itself
23:23.03 brlcad starseeker: AH, the "other" existing mged regression testing
23:23.07 starseeker right
23:23.31 brlcad nah, leave it alone unless you have a compelling reason to join them
23:23.43 starseeker ok.
23:23.54 starseeker was just wanting to steal the mged.sh name ;-)
23:23.56 brlcad the tests don't need to be elegant, they're overhead code -- the less maintenance the better
23:24.34 brlcad whatever suits your fancy then :)
23:24.42 starseeker ok
23:24.59 starseeker is thinking this will be ready to hook in in a few days...
23:25.13 starseeker assuming my vim editing speed increases somewhat
23:26.00 brlcad I'd be inclined to make all those sections you have into individual files, source them in and run a function or exec them directly
23:26.35 brlcad just think how fast you'd be by now if you had a powerful scriptable environment at your fingertips with the same investment of effort ;)
23:26.58 starseeker heh
23:27.16 brlcad are the tests looking grim or green?
23:27.37 starseeker not too bad so far - I haven't actually run a 7.12.6 benchmark in a bit
23:27.43 starseeker me relinks and re-runs...
23:28.07 brlcad gave bob time to tweak, releasing either tomorrow or saturday
23:28.31 brlcad going to press really hard to keep to a release by the 7th
23:28.32 starseeker he's squashed a few bugs already - the make spewing errors was a biggie
23:31.00 starseeker nods
23:36.51 starseeker auugh, why do I get a bus error now
23:42.28 yukonbob brlcad: plate full of bugs?
23:42.35 yukonbob s/bugs/tickets/
23:44.52 brlcad yukonbob: yeah, there are too many tickets, none getting closed out
23:50.19 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=omg@unaffiliated/elite01)
23:56.32 starseeker hmm, well autoview, saveview, loadview, ps, and plot are now suddenly causing bus errors
