16:04.44 starseeker is going insane...
16:06.17 starseeker it's not even that - when I feed in *static* strings, excelp works. when I feed in bu_vls_addr strings, it doesn't

18:06.16 annisar o/ Guys, I hope that's not too late, but just wanted to say hi, as I'd be glad to join you, starting from applying to this years gsoc. :)
18:09.52 annisar It's hard to describe my relationship with computer graphics without writing a novel, so I just want to let you know that my interests now focus on raytracers (and I even develop one in my free time) and photorealistic CG from one side, and low level playing with graphics card from the other (vga passthroughs and helping cards not to blow up while doing this)

20:19.11 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67492 brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/uuid.c: go with string.h
20:24.09 brlcad annisar: hello, it's only too later after the deadline :)
20:25.03 brlcad annisar: if you're looking for a good gsoc project to propose (and you'll might have to pull an all-nighter to pull it off), would be to integrate our raytracing library with appleseed
20:25.31 brlcad they added hooks for us to shoot rays and our geometry while they paint the pretty picture, but someone needs to hook all that up
20:26.24 brlcad there's also of course a different project idea to do coherent acceleration of our ray tracing pipeline, e.g., by working on converting our boolean evaluator to opencl and optimizing
20:26.33 brlcad continuing the work from last year's gsoc project
20:27.27 brlcad difficulty is the deadline is tomorrow and you need 1) a lot of proposal detail and 2) a patch submitted soon after that demonstrates your ability to read+modify our code in some substantial manner
20:27.30 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67493 brlcad/trunk/src/brlman/brlman.c: move vars used only for GUI work
20:27.33 brlcad good luck ;)

20:36.38 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67495 brlcad/trunk/src/brlman/brlman.c: whoops - normalize, then prepare command.
20:42.17 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67496 (brlcad/trunk/src/brlman/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/src/brlman/brlman.c): Can't accept names from command line successfully yet (path getting mangled on its way to Tcl still) but set up to make brlman a "proper" graphical application on Windows, where that's the only working mode available.
21:08.54 annisar brlcad: That doesn't seem like something that can scary me ;) except it's easter soon and I'll be afk since tomorrow (of course after I apply).

21:22.22 annisar until tuesday, so not long. Since then, until gsoc itself, my schedule is not very occupied - in fact, that's very casual semester for me as student of cs. At last, I got rid of formal languages, ton of discrete mathematics stuff etc so I am happy with sitting and shooting rays at things ;)

23:00.07 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 67498 brlcad/trunk/NEWS: Several improvements have been made to the brlman utility. First, it is no longer necessary to use sh or bat wrapper files to launch it. Second, the gui mode now starts up even without a man page specified on the command line (in Windows, you can now double click on brlman and have it start up) and provides the list of man pages on the left to allow browsing.
