00:00.06 brlcad the students I've seen successfully handle exams during gsoc effectively manage their time
00:01.25 brlcad disappearing for a week studying for exams is usually pretty poor time management not doing justice to the exams or gsoc work, balancing the two together tends to be a better recipe for passing
00:02.04 roaldfre1 fair point :)
00:02.47 roaldfre1 How strictly do you guys treat the bonding period and the actual coding start? (I'd like to start [part time] asap)
00:03.00 roaldfre1 ie using the bonding period to make up time
00:03.28 brlcad just like if you were studying while working full-time, you put in long hours in every day or work on deadlines you know are coming up well in advance
00:03.57 brlcad that's something that you could propose, to a limit
00:06.37 roaldfre1 I'll sleep on it. Thanks for the chat!
00:06.40 brlcad the bonding period would be a good way to put in effort before gsoc begins to offset time away during gsoc -- but that should be very specific and pointed out in a schedule
00:07.07 brlcad the code might not "count" but the effort certainly could and be accounted for during evals
00:07.18 roaldfre1 I see :)
00:07.55 brlcad i.e. it'd let us give you full consideration as if you were full-time during application review
01:06.34 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49882 10/brlcad/trunk/ (4 files in 3 dirs): Make a stab at avoiding conflicts between files and build target names in MSVC
01:47.04 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49883 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/ (BRLCAD_Targets.cmake BRLCAD_Util.cmake): Simplify normalize macro
01:49.43 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49884 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/TCL_PKGINDEX.cmake: More quoting for tcl pkgindex generation
02:22.10 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49885 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/CMake/ (BRLCAD_Targets.cmake BRLCAD_Util.cmake): simplify normalize macro - no need for hard coded tmp names, just change the assumptions being made by calling scripts
02:27.36 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49886 10/brlcad/trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): typo, overly agressive quoting
02:45.03 crdueck i've posted a new draft of my application, its mostly complete in terms of content but i'd really like to get some feedback on what can be improved/added. you can find it here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Crdueck thanks everyone
02:45.59 brlcad crdueck: responding with feedback to mailing list good?
02:46.18 crdueck yes definitely :)
03:09.16 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r49887 10/brlcad/trunk/src/other/libz/CMakeLists.txt: Work around zlib CMake issue with static libraries and MSVC 2010 - see http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11240
03:10.19 starseeker scowls at Windows
03:11.10 starseeker alright, that's enough pain for one day
03:49.56 crdueck brlcad: i'm taking a look at libged/analyze.c, some of the functions I plan on implementing are present in some form in this file. I think i'm going to include rewriting major sections of this file to account for the functions I will be adding as part of my project.

05:06.03 brlcad crdueck: great, glad to hear it
05:06.56 brlcad working with and integrating with existing code is almost always better than writing from scratch when it comes to code maintainability

13:30.44 Neil__ brlcad: Hi Sean! I have written some PHP code for the materials database website. There are about 8-10 files in 2 directories. Is it ok if I put them up on GitHub? If not, where can I upload them?
13:42.50 ``Erik github is probably fine, it might end up on sourceforge as the 'official' repo (to keep it right by the BRL-CAD source)
13:44.33 ``Erik http://brlcad.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi <-- we already have a little bit in git on sourceforge, if that's the vcs you're using :)
13:48.08 Neil__ thanks ``Erik . I'll check it out
14:08.33 Neil__ ``Erik: How should I go about it? It's not something I want to commit but just to give a brief idea about my coding style.
14:10.17 Neil__ source forge will accept only 1 file in the tracker
14:25.48 ``Erik you could always use github as a working repo and nuke it, or if you just want a dump, you can use tar or shar to collect it all up into one archive for uploading

15:07.26 andrei brlcad: The second proposal should be structured exactly as the first one
15:07.52 andrei or I should only include relevant info ( for example not include background info again)

17:26.46 CIA-128 BRL-CAD: from other build systems, but since BRLCAD_ADDDATA assumes it just rework
