00:23:53   --> AC (~rwo@34c8b132.1c3781d3.ip.tele2adsl.dk) has joined #AmigaDev
00:44:02 wegster any1 have any 'killer' interview Qs? Giving a prog/SA interview now.
00:44:58 number6 wegster: interview with who?
00:46:10 wegster uhh job applicant?
01:01:02   --> freaks (~freaks@a34b1a3.164642ae.263fce7a.1ccf6d0X) has joined #AmigaDev
01:01:13 nicomen freakie freak ;)
01:01:25 freaks hi ppl, nicomen :)
01:01:47 freaks i was wondering, since i lost my amigados book,
01:01:54 nicomen I didn't take it
01:02:11 freaks how would like an expression that delete everything in ram:
01:02:24 freaks without deleteing env and t and clipboard
01:02:29 freaks lol
01:02:30   --> ssolie (~ssolie@2f31aeca.1ccf6d0.3d344119.1654620bX) has joined #AmigaDev
01:02:37 freaks i sold it unfortunatly
01:03:05 freaks i remember i had this, on os3.9 in a tooldaemon menu
01:03:09 freaks i remember i had this, on os3.9 in a tooldaemon menu
01:03:26 freaks one click and it was cleaning all the stuffs in ram:
01:03:40 freaks everything execpt env clipboard and t
01:03:53 freaks can't remember what was it ;)
01:04:14 nicomen freaks: find and lformat might work
01:05:18 nicomen or experiment with:
01:05:28 freaks it was a simple line with aos expression, such as delete ram: all force env| clibpboard|t
01:05:31 nicomen delete ram:~(env|clipboards|t) all
01:05:42 freaks yes that's more like it :)
01:05:42 nicomen but don't blame me if it doesn't work
01:06:06 nicomen amigados to me have more exceptions than rules
01:06:13   -!- * ssolie blames nicomen for everything
01:06:16 freaks no i would blame aos unable to handle long and weird filenames ;)
01:06:22 nicomen so I never really know exactly how it performs
01:06:40 freaks with spaces and () and / \ ....
01:07:04 nicomen it should work, as long as you use the correct syntax
01:07:17 nicomen but noone really seems to know exactly how everything works
01:07:33 nicomen or the ones that have got such enlightenment managed to forget it two seconds later
01:07:53 nicomen you have at least two escape chars: ' and *
01:08:39 freaks aos need improvement on that front too :/
01:09:03 nicomen I think some clear documentation would be enough
01:09:18 nicomen and of course make sure the implementations work as expected in every aspect
01:09:43   <-- AC has quit (Leaving: Client exiting)
01:10:27 freaks up to date docs would be nice indeed ...
01:11:33 freaks my isp is killing my connection by feeding me with too speed access ...
01:11:35 freaks that's what i was told today
01:12:40 freaks after i asked for explanation about being more offline than online with broadband access
01:12:40 freaks damn
01:12:40 freaks that hurt
01:13:18 freaks nicomen, that command you gave was exactly what i was after, thanks man
01:13:25 freaks +me
01:13:26 nicomen np
01:14:20 freaks the other day,
01:14:35 freaks i was trying to compile mednafen on my linux box,
01:14:52 freaks (it's a nice emulator.. )
01:14:59 nicomen ooh compilation!
01:15:09 freaks but for some reason my swap partition wasn't up
01:15:25 freaks  /dev/hda3 wasn't used at all..
01:15:30 nicomen swapon
01:15:39 freaks and my project failled to compile,
01:15:44 freaks yes i know
01:15:49 nicomen -a
01:15:50 freaks but, the point is,
01:16:01 nicomen leenooks needs swap
01:16:15 freaks i seemed similar to os4 sdk gcc port
01:16:20 nicomen you don't survive for long without
01:16:24 freaks with the stack problem
01:16:37 nicomen hm
01:16:58 freaks on os4 you run out of memory you can't continue compilation
01:17:10 freaks on linux you run out of memory, no probs, it uses swap
01:17:16 nicomen yup, no swapping on amigaos yet
01:17:26 freaks that what i discovered accidentaly
01:17:40 nicomen sometimes it helps to run make several times, as memory isn't freed properly during a make run
01:17:43 ssolie when you run out of swap you can't continue compilation either :-P
01:17:54 nicomen but other times it might end up in broken object files, reboots or grims
01:17:56 freaks that's what i thought, maybe os4 sdk gcc port need to swap somewhere
01:18:00 freaks like a file?
01:18:10 nicomen freaks: there's no swap on amigaos, yet
01:18:15 freaks file-swap instead of partition-swap?
01:18:21 freaks ok, sry ;)
01:18:35 nicomen I doubt they have implemented their own swapping routines in gcc itself
01:18:41 nicomen but maybe you are lucky
01:18:42 ssolie nicomen: memory isn't freed properly? I don't see that here with the latest beta sdk
01:19:12 nicomen ssolie: well, something makes a gcc line in Makefile work the next time you run it, if you run out of memory
01:19:19 nicomen believe it happened on linux too
01:19:38 ssolie nicomen: so you run out of RAM and re-run it and then it works?
01:19:55 nicomen by retyping make (probbaly keeps around stuff after having executed stuff)
01:19:58 nicomen yes
01:20:11 nicomen or wap on linux
01:20:13 nicomen swap
01:20:14 ssolie nicomen: in that case, I don't know, I don't usually run out of RAM
01:20:30 nicomen had to move VBA to another box to be able to compile it ;)

16:06:58 number6 Such violence on #amigadev...
16:07:43 nicomen yup
16:07:48 nicomen there's a reason though ;D
16:07:59 nicomen he just doesn't know
16:12:28 number6 lol
16:14:12 number6 Nicomen: hmm...yesterday was my assigned day to irritate zerohero. So...you have been assigned "Tuesdays"?
16:14:31 nicomen nope, I did that yesterday too
16:15:31 number6 Hope you getting "time and 1/2 pay" then...
16:20:54 zerohero nicomen: oh, please, do tell
16:21:54   -!- * zerohero puts his fork in nicomen's leg
16:22:28   -!- * nicomen slaps zerohero again ;D
16:22:56 zerohero must be my os4 not out yet - rant the other day
16:24:37 nicomen could be
16:25:59 zerohero can't be anything else, it's the only thing i've been doing that's even close to annoying
16:26:06 zerohero besides just being me
16:26:54 nicomen a-ha!
16:27:53   -!- * number6 covers eyes
16:28:21   -!- * zerohero slaps nicomen crzy
16:28:23 zerohero +a
16:29:04 zerohero you're probably going to slap me 15 times a day until the update is released
16:29:17 zerohero so in 2015 you'll still be slapping like mad
16:29:19 number6 zerohero: hmm..if "a" is a constant and not a variable, then it seems you will be continually slapped...
16:29:32 nicomen hmm, time to make a slap script
16:30:02 number6 nicomen: Could you please have it terminate with "unfreed signals", just to be consistent.
16:30:11 zerohero hmm, time to make a /ignore nicomen
16:32:00 zerohero <-- cooking dinner
16:32:08 zerohero nicomen: you're not invited
16:50:58 zerohero number6: regarding listtree from yesterday
16:51:40 zerohero number6: listtree.mcp has a higher version number than the mui 3.9 one, and they're both 68k, at least up to upd3
16:51:50 zerohero listtree.mcc is ppc tho
16:57:12 number6 Yes. I know.
16:58:52 number6 I also had a separate list of .mcc and .mcp I made that illustrated a difference in not just listtree.mcp 68k. Most people (OS4 users) probably are not aware of the updates of some of these. Example:busy.mcc
16:59:22 zerohero busy is still 68k as well
16:59:37 number6 Yes. But most OS4 users are -using- an old version.
16:59:53 zerohero sure, but newer version doesn't add anything great
17:00:19 number6 zerohero: Besides the obvious graphics difference...what bugs were squashed?
17:00:20 zerohero i think the knightrider theme is the only visible thing updated :)
17:01:55 zerohero no bugs fixed afai can see
17:02:05 zerohero a few things added, or renamed
17:03:53   --> racs (~not.tod@9b184f5.1383ffec.catv.broadband.hu) has joined #AmigaDev
17:03:53 MrBot [racs] Pimp my flowers! ;)
17:03:54 racs hi there
17:04:08 zerohero evening racs
17:05:01 racs zerohero
17:05:14 number6 zerohero: from the readme: "- bugfix in speed settings"
17:05:54 number6 zerohero: Note: readme shows this change, while the guidefile makes no mention of it.
17:05:57 zerohero number6: ah, missed that... not very serious tho, i think :)
17:06:14 zerohero number6: sure it does, i'm reading the guide now, it's in there
17:06:33 zerohero number6: 06-05-97, right after mui 3.8 release
17:06:58 number6 zerohero: Docs/English.guide under history does not show this.
17:07:10 zerohero yes, it does
17:07:46 number6 zerohero: Not in my archive. I will download yours and double check....
17:07:52 zerohero number6: 10:th row from the bottom
17:09:28 number6 zerohero: but the version is from 23.07.97 (last entry and same date as MY version). No mention there.
17:10:00 zerohero number6: wierd
17:11:40 number6 zerohero: Apparently the bug WAS fixed earlier, as you stated, but the readme file lists the bug as being fixed in the archive version the user has just downloaded. Not a problem, just confusing.
17:30:41 zerohero number6: ah, but yes, the fix is in the new archive, not in the one in mui 3.8
17:30:51 zerohero it's just fixed at an earlier date
17:30:58 zerohero not released earlier
17:46:52 number6 yep.

21:14:20 antique ac: i did , posx = win[1]->LeftEdge;
21:14:46 antique and it worked but how do i update my gadget that holds the posx value?
21:15:28 AC what do you use as gadgets? gadtools/mui/reaction ?
21:17:31 antique gadtools
21:18:06 AC okey, then I have to look at some old source to give a usefull anser
21:18:58 antique ok! :)
21:19:17 AC ahh I lost that partition where it was on
21:19:23 antique :(
21:20:12 AC have you tryed with difrent refresh modes from intuition?
21:20:22 antique don't you use gadtools?
21:20:28 AC no
21:20:48 antique tried the gt_refreshwindow.
21:20:51 AC MUI if I can as its mutch easyer to make gui's
21:22:04 AC try RefreshGList()
21:22:34 AC RefreshGList( gad, win, NULL, 0 ); it should refresh one gadget
