| 21:42.56 | starseeker | got the bright idea of seeing if the Varkon guys (guy?) who's working on surface/surface intersection would be interested in consolidating efforts on making openNURBS into a full-fledged library for NURBS... |

| 21:46.06 | brlcad | a collaboration would be fantastic |
| 21:46.30 | ``Erik | if opennurbs becomes a zomfg package we could externally link to, that'd be awesome... I'd maintain a freebsd port for it, just to keep the BRL-CAD weight down |

| 21:46.43 | brlcad | i suspect they may be outright uninterested in using opennurbs, though, and just rolling their own |

| 21:48.53 | brlcad | they had a gsoc student working on the initial integration about 3 years ago |
| 21:49.16 | brlcad | he finished, then they got GUI integration completed shortly after iirc |

| 22:31.21 | ``Erik | I believe nc has a bmw driving school, florida has one of the top 2 in the US, the other being cali |
| 22:31.38 | brlcad | here, it's down: http://www.speedlux.com/1000-hp-hennessey-venom-gt-new-photos-and-details/ |
| 22:32.16 | ``Erik | the cali one is all dodge stuff, so neons, street trucks, then make all the testosterone driven kids make a fool of themselves with the vipers |
| 22:32.33 | ``Erik | neat |
| 22:32.59 | ``Erik | I guess if you never have enough traction to apply the power, you can waste a bit on the weight and drive for toys |
| 22:33.22 | ``Erik | 0/60 2.2... ow... |
| 22:33.39 | brlcad | yeah.. :) |
| 22:33.44 | ``Erik | that's almost 2 g's, right? |
| 22:33.59 | brlcad | that's approaching dangerous |
| 22:34.51 | ``Erik | I think with good tires and temp, I'm just a hair over 1g, doing 0/60 4.8 |
| 22:35.13 | ``Erik | and when I actually honk down and drop it in 2nd, it's definitely an event |
| 22:35.47 | ``Erik | probably similar to the old c10 with the race engine, which at the time, I coudlnt' reach forward while accelerating |
| 22:35.48 | brlcad | now to find someone to actually try and stand "up" horizontally while I take off that fast |
| 22:35.55 | ``Erik | hehehe |
| 22:36.35 | ``Erik | bets an elise would tromp his m3 on 0-40, would probably pass at ~60ish :D |
| 22:36.50 | brlcad | prolly |
| 22:37.07 | ``Erik | but cornering, I need to learn more |
| 22:37.14 | ``Erik | I tend to come in too fast and oversteer |
| 22:37.53 | ``Erik | some sites claim a .98, some claim a .89... both awfully fast, but ... I dog in too fast and don't power through hard enough, so I put it in an oversteer |
| 22:38.21 | brlcad | I oversteered a little today taking the 95 on-ramp from 22 (from the west) |
| 22:38.27 | ``Erik | got a good cross wiggle this morning, though O.o surprised I didn't hit a curb |
| 22:38.56 | ``Erik | yeah, why do you do 22? I woulda figured 715/7/543/95 would be a lot faster and shorter |
| 22:39.18 | brlcad | wasn't at apg |
| 22:39.23 | ``Erik | 40 is crap, 7 is slow, but it's short |
| 22:39.35 | ``Erik | you do 22 from apg, though... |
| 22:39.43 | brlcad | sometimes, I mix it up |
| 22:39.54 | brlcad | you know, avoid being a predictable target and all |
| 22:39.56 | ``Erik | 'k, saw ya on 22 going home twice recently |
| 22:40.03 | ``Erik | 7 is fun |
| 22:40.14 | ``Erik | especially if you can torque up out of the traffic circle |
| 22:40.43 | ``Erik | 40/543 is a waste of time, don't do that, but 7... :D |
| 22:40.50 | ``Erik | *shrug* |
| 22:40.57 | ``Erik | hey, is jason still doing xcross? |
| 22:41.45 | ``Erik | I've seen his mini here and there, but haven't talked to him in a while :/ |
| 22:46.57 | starseeker | ah - this looks useful: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-googletestingframework.html |
| 22:48.49 | ``Erik | their scratch of the surface looks almost identical to the old check lib's scratch |
| 22:49.29 | ``Erik | like, trivial sed difference |
| 22:50.02 | ``Erik | *shrug* the goog stuff might have other advantages, I d'no :) |
| 22:50.14 | starseeker | shrugs - yeah, I'm not surprised - I think it's when you get into the more hairy C++ stuff it gets interesting |
| 22:50.24 | starseeker | e.g. Google Mock |
| 22:50.48 | brlcad | yeah, he is |
| 22:50.53 | brlcad | is at a mini meet this weekend |
| 22:50.56 | starseeker | since I don't know jack about how to test C++ stuff (and not much more about C) it seems a worthwhile exercise |
| 22:51.21 | ``Erik | I'll have to bug him about the next scca event, looks like fun |
| 22:51.22 | starseeker | we're probably gonna be compelled to do something for libnmg someday, just to finally shake all the bugs out if nothing else |
| 22:51.53 | ``Erik | starseeker: I can send ya the docs I wrote for java testing, if'n ya want... |
| 22:52.16 | starseeker | ``Erik: would they map reasonably well to c/c++? |
| 22:52.17 | ``Erik | which is kinda what put me into using libcheck and sending them skeery macro fu |
| 22:52.25 | ``Erik | um, trivial c++, yes |
| 22:52.36 | starseeker | cool, that's a place to start |
| 22:52.54 | ``Erik | 'k, I signed some papers at some point to release it as a doc |
| 22:53.06 | ``Erik | I'll have to, uh, bug someone to see what happened... |
| 22:53.10 | starseeker | hehe |
| 22:53.13 | starseeker | good luck |
| 22:53.18 | ``Erik | it was part of the upstairs project, so I kinda quit caring |
| 22:54.13 | ``Erik | I think at the unit level, it was "do what everyone else says is good for the unit level", the big problem was the notion of paying for a zomfg test environment |
| 22:54.15 | starseeker | kinda seems like one of those "developer skills" that's worth having, sorta like build frameworks... |
| 22:55.01 | starseeker | <snort> as I understand it, these frameworks don't (necessarily) require unit testing but are just tools to define the tests you want to run, yes? |
| 22:55.14 | ``Erik | before this place, my job was production maintenance, so I have an odd view of things |
| 22:55.25 | ``Erik | like, the notion of software "sunset" |
| 22:55.33 | starseeker | hmm? |
| 22:55.48 | starseeker | glances at clock... |
| 22:56.03 | brlcad | but does it glance back? |
| 22:56.04 | ``Erik | the frameworks help you define the tests... |
| 22:56.18 | ``Erik | starseekers clocks GLARE back |
| 22:56.22 | starseeker | brlcad: I'm not quite that far gone yet :-P |
| 22:56.35 | ``Erik | they're watching him |
| 22:56.42 | starseeker | is trying to make himself face the music and go do the mowing... |
| 22:57.01 | ``Erik | :) hoa mows for me |
| 22:57.28 | starseeker | heh - looks like trains are a popular modeling topic for intro classes: http://www.blendernation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/blenderscreen2.jpg |
| 22:57.55 | ``Erik | we have a nice complex train car in our set |
| 22:58.06 | ``Erik | boiler car I think |
| 22:58.09 | starseeker | yeah, I like that one :-) |
| 22:58.18 | ``Erik | gsi and all |
| 22:58.28 | starseeker | really doesn't know why he uses m35 so much instead of that one... |
| 22:58.44 | ``Erik | the train car is zomfg brutal to tesselate |
| 22:59.06 | ``Erik | not horrible enough to use a test case, but worse than m3 |
| 22:59.07 | ``Erik | m35 |
| 22:59.53 | starseeker | was gonna say - your m3 would be REALLY bad |
| 23:01.10 | ``Erik | yeah, no doubt |
| 23:01.18 | ``Erik | the tire tool can't even make real tires for it |
| 23:01.38 | ``Erik | be a sweet nurb model |
| 23:02.36 | ``Erik | once nurbs are tightened up, might get indianlarry to talk to his homeys down at the metrology lab, I'd be willing to let 'em dope my car up and shoot lasers at it for a model, if it don't damage nothin' |
| 23:03.44 | ``Erik | wrap a sock around the vulcan probe heh |
| 23:17.40 | ``Erik | hrm, I might have to bring my asshole hat to work for tuesday :/ |
| 23:19.19 | ``Erik | starseeker: I'm not sure what all you've signed me up for, can I let you just tell me what to do to get all this tux and stuff stuff sorted? |
| 23:20.10 | ``Erik | also; wtf, this commercial is so fucking retarded... speeding is the leading cause of death on the roads? uh, no? tailgating is WAY more dangerous, fuckers |
| 23:42.26 | starseeker | ``Erik: sure |
| 23:42.34 | starseeker | was planning to, once I know myself |
| 23:42.55 | starseeker | uh... why are you planning wear that hat tuesday? |
