Back to overview|Highlight a word

00:00:01 wegster BinoX: err, never heard of cvs or svn, eh? ;-)
00:01:12 BinoX Yeah, but... it's too confusing.. lol
00:02:48 BinoX On my PC systems I have a tape drive backing up dev stuff every night
00:03:08 BinoX But I don't think tape drives will work with an A1
00:03:48 zerohero svn rocks :)
00:03:56 zerohero and i don't know half of it :P
00:04:38 BinoX heh.. don't you have to remember to put stuff in for svn though?
00:05:49 BinoX zerohero: btw.. the browser is correctly(ish) rendering text now... lol... >_>;;
00:06:49 wegster BinoX: svn checkout <someurl>
00:06:52 wegster svn add dir
00:06:55 wegster svn commit
00:06:57 wegster svn status
00:07:07 wegster then yer pretty good, assuming the rep already set up
00:07:11 wegster s/rep/repo
00:07:26 wegster BinoX: screenshot? ;-)
00:07:32 Belxjander hrmmm
00:07:32 BinoX does it automatically backup every x hours? Or do I have to initialise..?
00:07:54 wegster BinoX: for what, svn? you do an 'svn commit' when you want to transmit your changes to the server
00:08:12 BinoX wegster: lol.. Probably sunday.. it's not compiling atm.. half way through writing table handling at the moment
00:15:31 BinoX Heh... most of a browser written and I only started AOS coding on March 1st...
00:16:15 BinoX Which means proper browser development didn't start for about 2-3 weeks after... heh
00:16:19 BinoX Coming on well then xD
00:16:43   -!- * wegster cheers for BinoX
00:17:06 BinoX At the moment it's really really slow though.. heh
00:17:11 wegster BinoX: do you _need_ an svn or cvs server? (well ok, svn). You cross-compiling or native?
00:17:21 BinoX I'm working natively
00:18:18 BinoX I don't really need an svn server.. Just need to remember to back up... so svn wouldn't help anyway 'cause I'd STILL have to remember
00:18:30 wegster heheh, you get used to it.
00:18:56 BinoX atm I just leave a zip disk in the drive and set a copy command going with the shell.. heh
00:19:12 BinoX and if I do a really really big bit I e-mail it to my work..
00:19:46 BinoX and there it gets backed up every day as well :)
00:20:10 wegster BinoX: heh what scm do you use at work?
00:20:17   -!- * wegster fears for that answer
00:25:22 BinoX wegster: what does scm stand for? lol
00:26:07 wegster BinoX: scaring me ;-)
00:26:26 BinoX lol.. I'm not good with acronyms
00:26:28 wegster Belxjander: Source Control Maintenance
00:26:42 wegster err, mgmt even
00:26:47 Belxjander eh?
00:26:48 wegster Management for you ;-)
00:27:21 BinoX Oh.. none... lol
00:27:48 wegster BinoX: see, I told you I'm scared!
00:28:06 BinoX lol.. I don't work for a company where I code a lot..
00:28:32 BinoX I'm a webmaster... I write the code, back it up and then leave it alone.. lol
00:28:39 BinoX That's what I'm (barely) paid to do
00:28:44 wegster nod, I put web stuff under source control too
00:28:50 wegster hehe, barely? ;-)
00:28:59 BinoX Low wage.. lol
00:29:08 BinoX If I screw something up.. I start again.. lol
00:29:17 wegster heheheh
00:29:35 wegster BinoX: hrm, where are you?
00:29:38 BinoX UK...
00:29:45 BinoX heh
00:30:58 BinoX why'd u wanna know?
00:31:36 wegster BinoX: b/c you said are paid sucky and I'm nearly ready to tell work to fuck off, sell the house and cars, and move toeurope, but not if I can't afford to eat and have fun ;-)
00:32:13 BinoX lol.. I earn enough to live on.. and spend money on what I want.. but for the kind of job I've got.. it pays crap.. lol
00:32:29 BinoX most places in the UK pay well.. this area just isn't good for IT based jobs
00:32:51 wegster BinoX: nod, prolly wouldn't move to UK anyways, too dreary for me..
00:32:52 number6 wegster: Planning on visiting Norway? I know a guy named Helgis that might put you up.
00:33:09 wegster number6: You know I have guns, and your address somewhere, right? ;-)
00:33:46   -!- * BinoX searches pile of cups on the desk for the one with current drink in
00:33:47 wegster anyone 'close' with sebastian bauer?
00:34:05 wegster BinoX: heheh I should send pic pof my desk. coke can with fungus in it = do NOT drink!
00:34:14 BinoX rofl
00:34:21   -!- * wegster cringes.
00:34:31 number6 wegster: Did sebastian not respond to your query on the file finder program?
00:34:37 BinoX Desks do seem to get like that don't they?
00:34:49 wegster I do, however, have newfound respect for desks made of glass, clear it all off, spray with 409, clean again, till next time.
00:35:03 BinoX Ooh.. good plan
00:35:09 wegster number6: no, I want his eclipse plugin source to fix it.
00:35:35 wegster number6: so then I can actually PUBLISH my eclipse cross-plat dev article etc.
00:35:41 BinoX I'm using a desk that I build inside a wardrobe... (So girlfriend doesn't have to see my machines [thus stopping the complaints])
00:35:54 wegster rofl
00:36:04 wegster BinoX: just find a closet and some cat-5
00:36:32 BinoX nothing big enough in this house
00:36:58 BinoX but I do have about 50 meters of fibre going from my room to the garden shed where the test servers live
00:37:30 wegster hehehe
00:37:31 BinoX my room being at the front of the house on the top floor and the shed being at the bottom of the back garden...
00:37:49 wegster more scary stuff- servers in 'garden shed' in damn environment.
00:37:57 wegster ugh
00:37:58 wegster damP
00:38:13 BinoX so it goes: out the window, up the wall, over the roof, down the back wall, under lawn and into shed
00:38:32 BinoX heh.. nah, I got dehumidifiers in there... and the heat of the machines keeps it dry too
00:38:54 wegster BinoX: I've built datacenters before, and can only say - you are STILL scaring me :-P
00:39:05 BinoX lol
00:39:10 wegster but the dehumidifiers a good touch at least ;-)
00:39:28 BinoX When I do networking for other people I do it properly... at home I just throw it together
00:40:00 wegster BinoX: nod, I still have a piece of cat-5 down the hallway (heh) to the gbit switch, know how it goes, just 'servers outside' is bothersome
00:40:00 BinoX When I get a house with a big basement.. THEN I will do it properly.. heh
00:40:38 BinoX I got gig switches everywhere
00:41:38 BinoX 2x 24 port gigabit switches, 1x 24 port 10/100 with 2 gigabit ports, and the 8x gigabit and 2x gigabit fibre
00:42:06 BinoX er... "8 gigaite ports and 2 gigabit fibre ports" that should be
00:42:12 BinoX gigabit*
00:42:14 wegster why so many? I've got 2 8x port gbit, a cisco 1200xl 10/100, and a generic subk 12 port 10/100
00:42:37 BinoX They were all free except the fibre one
00:43:22 wegster nod, fiber switches not generally cheap
00:43:39 BinoX Got mine second hand from a BT engineer :) £250
00:44:10 BinoX it's really a 10 gigabit ports and 2 fibre.. heh.. but 2 ports died
00:44:10 wegster nod, like I said, still not cheap, even by comparison to gbit
00:44:15 BinoX true
00:44:42 wegster prolly paid around that for my cisco, wanted to buy a san switch as I was using a san dae for a while for raid, but san switches = even more
00:45:27 BinoX Yeah.. my fibre one is a cisco.. I actually prefer the netgear ones though...
00:47:07 BinoX oooh.. AVD news updated :)
00:47:55 BinoX Looks like a copy of the mailing list news though :(... but with pics :D
00:49:04 wegster BinoX: heheh yeah, saw it, couldn't help but nagging Jamie there ;-P
00:49:16 BinoX lol
00:49:47 BinoX have you actually used AVD to even make a skeleton program yet?
00:50:02 BinoX I must've only used it for about 15 mins total.. lol
00:50:21 wegster BinoX: naah, used the UI builder for a bit, but it's not really usable yet.
00:50:33 BinoX Nope.. heh..
00:50:40 wegster may try to use his template as it's reasonably sane layout anyways for next attempt
00:50:55 BinoX Generally I find reaction a real pain to work with..
00:51:17 wegster anything that takes away UI pain is good, but not whaen the builder is causing pain :-(
00:51:25 BinoX lol true
00:51:34 wegster it'll get there, I'm sure, but was really hoping further along thatn it is, as I need it for something.
00:51:57 BinoX I've ended up writing my own GUI system using Picasso96 and graphics libraries
00:52:13 BinoX Not finished.. but it is working
00:52:23 Belxjander Im playing with the AVD and SDI examples to work out how to get a cross-compiler working
00:52:32 Belxjander keeps playing funny games with include files though
00:52:41 BinoX heh
00:52:48 wegster belx gimme your email, I'll give you a cross-comiple tutorial for eclipse that is 90% right
00:53:17 wegster BinoX: really? what, basic wrapper system, or?
00:53:30 BinoX at the moment just a file full of functions lol
00:54:03 wegster BinoX: you coulda always tried to use 'Feelin'?
00:54:36 Belxjander wegster: Belxjander@earthlink.net
00:54:38 BinoX The reason I was doing it originally was so I could easily add input boxes to the web browser...
00:54:49 BinoX but for a test I basically shoved them in a window
00:55:06 BinoX and then it kind of evolved as I was trying things
00:56:01 BinoX and I originally drew a window layout when experimenting with p96 and graphics.. heh
00:56:07 BinoX so I threw them together
00:56:37 wegster Belxjander: you have mail. Don't ask me anything about any of the 'credits' or distribute, please.
00:56:38 BinoX basically I open a totally empty intuition window, use IDCMP for inputs and do the rest myself
00:59:35 Belxjander wegster: I'll take it as just "handed on" then
01:00:04 wegster Belxjander: no, I wrote it, but there's things in end of it not for public distribution etc.
01:00:05 BinoX wegster: if you want I can send you my basic GUI test thing.. heh
01:00:34 wegster BinoX: sure, although I keep hoping the ui builder will be done before I NEED it ;-) wegster@mindcore.net
01:00:36 Belxjander ahhh
01:00:52 Belxjander wegster: I will provide any comments back to you for you to deal with as you see fit then
01:00:59 wegster Belxjander: thus, no Qs and don't distribute pls ;-) Sure, comments are good.
01:01:08 BinoX Bear in mind that this test is not anywhere near production quality.. heh
01:01:12 wegster as in no Qs to the stuff in there that isn't for distro etc
01:01:24 wegster BinoX: no worries, my AOS coding isn't kindergarten quality yet:-(

01:03:13 Belxjander wegster: nah anything I send your way is upto however you want to deal with it... but I am quite likely to reply with a suggestion or two based on own experience to help "round it out" a bit... as suggestions only :)
01:03:18 BinoX wegster: what was yer e-mail again? lol
01:03:25 BinoX SimpleMail just DSIed
01:04:17 wegster belx nod, it's been proofread for a few, but always open to making it better, as that's the end goal = no questions b/c it's all 'crystal clear' ;-)
01:04:22 wegster BinoX: wegster at mindcore dot net
01:04:47 BinoX You've, hopefully, got mail!
01:05:25 wegster BinoX: got it, thx
01:05:29 BinoX There's no gadgets in this version... the one with gadgets DSIs.. heh..
01:05:33 BinoX but the window is custom drawn
01:05:40 BinoX and all functionality of it too
01:05:52 BinoX and lotsa debug :p
01:06:04 Belxjander wegster: well I may come at some parts sideways but as long as it is all spelt out then I see no reason for it not to be "plug and go" Amiga expansion style ;)
01:06:55 BinoX and yes.. the buttons don't ALWAYS work.. lol
01:07:38 Belxjander why not a single button and just have "region" registration...
01:07:51 Belxjander the one button being no-redraw and IS the bounding box for the drawable area...
01:07:58 Belxjander that way you arent editing the gadget list...
01:08:18 Belxjander just putting an enable/disable on an existing gadget with extended region tests on-click ?
01:08:36 wegster BinoX: err, define 'don't always work'? ;-)

01:10:08 BinoX Hello again... SimpleMail again :\
01:10:16 wegster BinoX: was that the results of a 'non-working button'? ;-)
01:10:31 wegster damn, I type too slow tonight
01:10:38 BinoX lol
01:10:55 BinoX I did have a non-working button do that before though.. lol
01:11:00 number6 wegster: too slow? In which of the 3 tabs we're communicating in are you TOO slow?
01:11:28 wegsterOS4 many of them, bino typed before I did, took away my amusement, damnit :-(
01:11:36 BinoX heh
01:11:40 wegsterOS4 ;-)
01:11:43 BinoX sorry :p
01:11:58 BinoX lol... how come u keep switching machines?
01:12:16 number6 He gets bored easily.
01:12:28 BinoX heh
01:12:45 wegster b/c I keep thinking am going to go play on os4 for a bit
01:12:56 wegster but then come back here b/c of existing cvonvos etc
01:12:59 wegster err, convos
01:13:16 BinoX lol
01:13:17 wegster I could piss off magic though and log in about 5 more accounts tho just for giggles ;-)
01:13:34 number6 heehee. convos is just a smidgeon away from convulsions.
01:13:39 BinoX why don't u just connect to irc with just 1 client?
01:13:48 wegsterOS4 BinoX: kvm and multiple boxen
01:13:59 wegsterOS4 and err, sorry, web based irc clients suck balls
01:14:10 BinoX Ah... you work the way I do then.. go kvm :)
01:14:15 BinoX What kind of A1 do you have?
01:14:35 wegsterOS4 alwayas, couldn't live without it, have a 16 port rackmount in the server rack, and need a 8 port now in office.
01:14:38 wegsterOS4 XE G4
01:14:51 BinoX lol
01:15:11 BinoX Hmm.. does your keyboard and mouse stop working sometimes when you warm reboot your a1?
01:15:26 wegster they make sucky kvms though, 'all I want' is one that includes 5.1 sound, DVI AND vga out, etc.
01:15:41 wegster BinoX: rarely do a warm reboot, b/c of smbfs mainly
01:16:07 wegster never sure what it might do with networking, but prior to ud4 I HATED usb stack, now is solid, but causes problems, not with kb or mouse tho, never lose anymore
01:16:31 BinoX oh.. ur using usb keyboard and mouse?
01:16:37 wegsterOS4 as in used to lose mouse and kb a LOT under ud3 etc
01:17:00 wegsterOS4 yes, closest to what I wanted, does 2.1 audio, usb..needed the usb b/c of sucky mac
01:17:19 BinoX oh.. I'm using ps/2 mouse and keyboard
01:17:27 wegster BinoX: probably for the best, actually ;-)
01:17:43 BinoX I have a PS/2 -> USB converter for the mac
01:17:51 number6 wegster: except for the freezes with PS2 mousy. (interrupts)
01:18:04 wegster BinoX: nod, I did, but didn't do well with the$^#&#*( Mac keys and eject cd
01:18:17 wegster number6: shh. ps/2 is better, all he needs to know.
01:18:18 BinoX I have a windows box, a G4 mac, the Amiga One and my A4000 on this KVM
01:18:35 number6 wegster: PS2 is better!
01:18:40 BinoX lol
01:18:59 wegster have err, linux box with windoze vm, g4 dual quicksilver, work laptop and the a1, and umm, I need more ports :-(
01:19:12 BinoX I've never had any freezes yet... except once when I dropped the A1..
01:19:19 BinoX lol
01:19:26 wegster doh, don't DO that!
01:19:36 number6 Funny. I thought that's how you -fixed- an A1.
01:19:55 BinoX my mac is a dual 1GHz.. tower style
01:20:05 BinoX but I always wanted a g4 cube :(
01:20:09 wegster number6: well, I'm sure I'm about to experience even more pci issues, catweasel 4 coming.
01:20:23 wegster BinoX: nod, same here, quicksilver or newer one?
01:20:44 wegster mirror door or whatever
01:20:47   -!- * number6 rubs hands together and mentions regarding catweasel...shhh...interrupt driven.
01:20:50 BinoX It's made of parts from a mac spares box
01:21:13 BinoX so I doubt it's even in its own case
01:21:14 wegster number6: exactly.
01:21:21 wegster BinoX: heheh ok
01:21:23 wegster brb
01:21:31 BinoX ok
01:21:37 number6 ...thought he'd -never- leave.
01:21:41 BinoX rofl
01:22:06   <-- bones has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
01:22:33 BinoX Know anywhere where I can get about 10mbs of webspace and a mysql database for free? heh.. preferably with own domain hosting as an option or at least a cool main domaim
01:22:35 BinoX domain*
01:23:15 BinoX I dont fancy putting any more sites on my dsl connection
01:25:22 BinoX It IS gunna be an amiga related site though :)
01:26:23 number6 BinoX: wegster -might- have some space. Ask him when he returns in case he doesn't read the log.
01:26:42 BinoX heh ok :)
01:26:44 BinoX thx ^^
01:33:27 wegster eh?
01:33:49 number6 lol
01:33:49   -!- * wegster attempts in vain to kick number6 but has no mojo here.
01:33:57 Belxjander I can do the hosting but connection is a serious issue
01:34:03 wegster BinoX: details?
01:34:31 number6 poofed?
01:35:08 wegster number6: naah, no ops unless I force it, but is not my channel.
01:55:15 BinoX Off to bed now :) nite all
01:55:47 number6 nite
01:56:03 wegsterOS4 cya BinoX
01:59:31 zerohero if i want to sprintf an uint64 into a buffer what args am i supposed to use? %ld is regular long, right?
02:01:00 wegster %ll methinks
02:01:19 zerohero ok, i'll try that
02:03:45 zerohero %lld worked
02:04:06 zerohero so thanks :)
02:04:24 wegster zerohero: bah, I suck, typed that first then thought better of it, thought &ll, doh. no cookie for me :-(
02:04:33 wegster err, fuck, %ll.

02:49:11 ssolie zerohero: you there?
02:50:15   <-- Belxjander has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
02:50:49 zerohero ssolie: yes?
02:51:17 ssolie zerohero: what would it take to make a Mac OS X cross-compiler?
02:51:25 ssolie zerohero: I'd like to give it a try but I'm a rookie
02:53:11 zerohero ssolie: nothing i guess, just knowledge on howto compile and install
02:53:41 kindergipA1 :)
02:53:44 ssolie zerohero: has anyone else tried it yet?
02:53:47 kindergipA1 and the new sdk
02:54:25 ssolie kindergipA1: gee.. didn't think I'd need the OS4 SDK :-P
02:54:36 kindergipA1 :)
02:54:36 zerohero ssolie: there's supposed to be a few, i've heard. not sure who tho
02:55:04 ssolie zerohero: hmm.. I'll ask on utilitybase
02:55:55 zerohero ssolie: unless you want to try, it's not that hard... i can't help atm tho, but beginning of next week?
02:57:01 ssolie zerohero: it will take me a while to get the hang of the Mac anyway ;)
02:57:07 zerohero ;)
02:57:37 wegsterOS4 ssolie: I forget, what did you buy?
02:57:55 ssolie wegsterOS4: the intel mini (dual core et al)
02:58:11 wegsterOS4 ahh right.
02:58:26 wegsterOS4 am debating. dell has a 17" core duo system, looks...tempting.
02:58:32 wegsterOS4 (laptop)
02:58:42 wegsterOS4 macbook = sucky resolution plus $$$$$
02:59:07 ssolie does the dell run OS X?
02:59:38 wegsterOS4 ssolie: well err, not yet, but umm, am hoping ;-)
03:01:23 wegsterOS4 think it's new, shipping thismonth but looks very tasty even if it's a H^HDell
03:01:36 kindergipA1 ya, six months before AOs boots on x86 right.....
03:02:38 wegsterOS4 kindergipA1: got a better number, or you just shit-talking?
03:02:57 kindergipA1 :-P
03:03:04 wegsterOS4 already wrote in that post no clue on porting time, but with multiple peopleon it, 6-12 months is certainly likely, minus petunia.
03:03:28 kindergipA1 minus petunia?
03:03:48 kindergipA1 will Bernd step up to the plate with another amithlon type effort?
03:04:48 number6 kindergipA1: In a recent thread it sounded like his "partner" and he could be on better terms.
03:05:05 kindergipA1 which partner.....
03:05:11 kindergipA1 not whatisface
03:05:35 wegsterOS4 kindergipA1: yes, if you were referring to the post I made on it, I distinctly said minus petunia, as if it was going to happen, it's all asm and rachy has no interest in x86, thus, no petunioa, plus no clue how uch code is in the software emu layer
03:05:55 number6 kindergipA1: Sorry. I'm not doing your homework on that one.
03:06:08 ssolie kindergipA1: I think bernd just likes to sit on his high horse and bitch versus doing anything positive
03:06:26 kindergipA1 spent years with him on .advocacy
03:06:48 kindergipA1 I see no wegster posts.....
03:06:57 kindergipA1 I read no wegster posts.....
03:07:04 kindergipA1 what wegster on about.....
03:07:24 wegsterOS4 kindergipA1: what, in your lovefest?
03:07:40   -!- * ssolie hugs wegster--love :)
03:07:55 kindergipA1 yes in lovefest.....do you have long thread post...haven't been reading the long ones lately
03:08:29 wegsterOS4 kindergipA1: on c.s.a.a on or ML? ML I have megalong post, someone got me going on sun hardware ;-)
03:08:40 kindergipA1 ML?
03:08:46 ssolie wegsterOS4: you mean how crappy sun h/w is? :)
03:08:51 wegsterOS4 ML = Mailing List for the acronym impaired ;-)
03:08:54 kindergipA1 I'll say
03:09:00 wegsterOS4 ssolie: damn I wish I had ops in here! ;-)
03:09:10 ssolie wegsterOS4: I use plenty of Sun stuff.. not bad
03:09:15 kindergipA1 hug him some more...give him one for nerp
03:09:18   -!- * wegsterOS4 kicks ssolie whre it hurts....in his A1.
03:09:25 kindergipA1 which one?
03:09:30 ssolie lol
03:09:40 wegsterOS4 ssolie: nod, not so much on speed, but on redundancy, total solution, can offline CPUs and keep the os alive, etc.
03:10:02 wegsterOS4 kindergipA1: I'm staying out of your c.s.a.a lovefest b/c I think you're all insane.
03:10:08 kindergipA1 :)
03:10:13 ssolie we switched from HP to Sun.. HP=high priced garbage by comparison imho.. Sun is being moved to cheap x86 stuff now :-/
03:10:18 kindergipA1 it keeps me writing
03:10:24 number6 kindergipA1: Post #26: http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=18601&forum=8&start=20&viewmode=flat&order=0
03:10:36 wegsterOS4 ssolie: yeah, but their 1U amd boxes rock AND are cheap, plus you get LOM
03:10:51 ssolie wegsterOS4: the managers just don't get it... you know
03:11:07 wegsterOS4 don't get me going on HP, just bought a used POS dual CPU HP box, rp-something something, forget model, but pos and $
03:11:28 ssolie HP is crap imho.. I suffered with their stuff for years
03:11:32 wegsterOS4 ssolie: yeah but at comparable pricing to dell servers (ick)...they're even priced competitively.
03:12:04 ssolie with the HP servers a CPU would suddenly disappear every few months.. pffft
03:12:04   -!- * wegsterOS4 is afraid but tried to load www.sun.com in IBrowse.
03:12:57 kindergipA1 number6:thanks
03:13:21 number6 kindergipA1: welcome
03:13:49 wegsterOS4 ssolie: this is the shiznit ;-) http://store.sun.com/CMTemplate/CEServlet?process=SunStore&cmdViewProduct_CP&catid=138712
03:14:38 wegsterOS4 but the lower end 1U or of course the 4200's...very nice, and competitive with HP x86 etc.
03:16:50 ssolie nice stuff :)
03:16:58 ssolie does it run OS4?
03:19:35 wegster ssolie: bah ;-)
03:20:26   -!- * wegsterOS4 makes another attempt to use AVD UI builder to avoid ReAction evilness.
03:20:43 ssolie it still needs work (AVD that is)
03:20:59 ssolie you might want to give Emperor a try as well
03:21:13 ssolie I still do it the old way.. whiteboard
03:21:13 wegsterOS4 ssolie yeah, I know, just pinged Jamie on ML to see if it's alive etc.
03:21:27 wegsterOS4 whiteboard is fine, cept I hate writing ui code at all.
03:21:38 ssolie lol.. who doesn't hate ui code
03:21:50 wegsterOS4 tried emperor, seems if can get it going in 'right direction' could be very useful
03:22:01 wegsterOS4 ssolie: groan, we've hired 'ui designers' recently.
03:22:33 wegsterOS4 one decided he is a 'domain expert' for security and system terms. There is now a screen that says 'remediate the variance on target'. WTF?
03:22:53   -!- * wegsterOS4 REALLY wants to find that site that used to let you pay someone to mail them a bag of actual feces.
03:22:56 ssolie LOL! good show.. you fired him yet?
03:23:24 wegsterOS4 ssolie: no, but had a 3.5 hour meeting where he wanted to rename basic concepts like 'policies' and 'audit' into some unknown mess. I 'won' at least, but was fit to kill.
03:23:25 kindergipA1 probably not his report
03:23:57 ssolie wegsterOS4: try putting stuff in his water ;-)
03:24:01   -!- * wegsterOS4 now lurves 'ui designers.' ketchup, please.
03:24:14 wegsterOS4 ssolie: it might improve his designs. liquid acid? ;-)
03:24:24 wegsterOS4 the last one decided that 'context menus are bad.'
03:24:35 ssolie oh man.. what a team you have there
03:24:47 wegsterOS4 ssolie: just seems to be the 'ui guys'.
03:24:55 ssolie who needs context anyway.. wimps
03:24:58 wegsterOS4 who btw, don't even CODE it, they just 'design' it.
03:25:09 wegsterOS4 naah, complex ops, other option was mass dropdown suck menus.
03:25:16 wegsterOS4 so got the ui coder to put it all back in ;-)
03:25:31 ssolie wow.. what a cushy job.. I design GUIs but never code them.. sweet
03:32:56 wegsterOS4 ssolie: exactly, AND you get to cause half day meetings with 20 people in them, half of which don't even understand the discussion. I'm now told I don't have a rep for being an asshole, but 'persistent and convincing.' Heh. Works for me.
03:34:39   -!- * ssolie points them to some of wegster's posts on AW.net for reference ;-)
03:35:05 wegsterOS4 rofl, pls don't. work and 'play' = don't mix, too many loons. *points to kinder*
03:35:37 ssolie LOL
03:35:41   -!- * number6 updates his employee review of wegster...crosses out asshole and replaces with "persistent and convincing".
03:35:43 wegsterOS4 problem is, never quite sure qho is on a conf call, so have since stopped caring, so occasionally have to rephrase 'you're an idiot', damnit :-(
03:36:21 wegsterOS4 I've yet to answer 'who said that' with my manager's name, but it's being reserved for 'a special case', heheh.
03:38:06 ssolie good plan :)
03:38:53 wegsterOS4 ok, this is...frustrating. Need a half length row of buttons, with a vertical split, and the right hand side of same plane to be a dropdown.
03:39:07 wegsterOS4 and somehow, this seems beyond me in AVD ui builder, ick.
03:39:44   -!- * ssolie hopes Jamie comes out with an update soon
03:40:10 wegsterOS4 no kidding. I think he did say something about monday, actually. looks like the start of a text editor is now there, in screenshot section
03:40:35 wegsterOS4 freaked the other day when got notice my paypal was 'cancelled.' evidently he's now paid in full but has to cancel it manually, heh
03:40:42 ssolie I've been begging him for a graphical diff tool
03:41:12 wegsterOS4 good call. I'm lame, just want graphical gdb frontend and full search in sdk browser
03:41:29 ssolie graphical gdb is coming
03:41:37 wegsterOS4 from jamie or elsewhere?
03:41:44 ssolie elsewhere...
03:41:54 wegsterOS4 cool, will use it, from wherever it comes ;-)
03:42:04 ssolie no kidding.. nice to have when you need it
03:42:17 ssolie maybe Jamie is doing one as well.. dunno
03:42:37 wegsterOS4 is part of avd but diff priority then err, when I want(ed) it ;-)
03:49:26 wegsterOS4 ssolie anything out there to convert autodocs to man pages currently, or a good definition of the autodoc format, or...(last one) man for aos?
03:55:43   <-- number6 has left #amigadev
03:56:08   -!- * kindergipA1 notes wegs's comment in little blue book
03:57:10 ssolie re
03:57:24 wegsterOS4 ssolie anything out there to convert autodocs to man pages currently, or a good definition of the autodoc format, or...(last one) man for aos?
03:57:37 wegsterOS4 crap, emperor dsi's on me too, doh.
03:58:03 ssolie er.. probably (check Aminet).. the autodoc format is well defined in some NDK doc
03:58:18 wegsterOS4 nod, ok...figured there's man but likely part of gg
03:58:33 ssolie if you need an OS4 version of man let us know.
03:58:42 wegsterOS4 why, got it? ;-)
03:58:54 ssolie I can make one
03:59:09 wegsterOS4 might be nice, but man -k support would be most...useful.
03:59:16 wegsterOS4 which means 'windex' creation etc.
03:59:38 ssolie what you want is a commandline autodoc searcher?
03:59:42 wegsterOS4 then I'd 'do the bad thing' and convert all autodocs to man pages and use man -k happily
03:59:54 wegsterOS4 yeah, but also for support of ported prog man pgs
04:00:03 ssolie something that combines both
04:00:26 ssolie so I can "man DupFileHandle" and it will pull it from dos.doc or "man ls" and I get the ls doc
04:00:31 wegsterOS4 yes, or...other part is ncurses port, then I can port cscope
04:00:36 wegsterOS4 yes
04:00:54 ssolie ncurses as well.. you sure are demanding :)
04:01:11 wegsterOS4 or man -k DupFilehandlke will list all files with a ref to DupFileHandle in it.
04:01:17 ssolie I'd like the man-anything tool
04:01:20 wegsterOS4 yeah but umm, then I'd port cscope, which rocks ;-)
