| 03:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | Man, blcgen is so awesome. |
| 03:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | I would have been doomed this semester without it. |
| 03:49 | <@Vornicus> | BLCgen being the thing that generates a binary from a Lua program? |
| 03:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yeah. |
| 03:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | (and actually, I wouldn't be doomed, I'd just package a binary terp + shell script with my projects) |
| 03:50 | <@ToxicFrog> | (but still) |
| 04:03 | | * ToxicFrog lightbulbs! |
| 04:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | I know how to record my System Shock speedrun! |
| 04:03 | | * ToxicFrog rummages around for a win98 ISO |
| 04:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | I have a spare CF-110 lying around (it's the second cutest thing ever!) and it's a P200, which should be sufficient for running SS1. |
| 04:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | It has onboard sound, and a single PCI slot into which...fuck |
| 04:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | I have no PCI video cards. |
| 04:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | And I have nothing with VGA in. |
| 04:29 | < MyCatVerbs> | HEADLESS BOX! |
| 04:34 | | Jo}{n is now known as EvilDarkLord |
| 04:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, it has onboard video. |
| 04:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | The problem is that I need to get video from the box running System Shock, to Durandal. |
| 04:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | The CF-110 has VGA out, but Durandal only has RCA in. |

| 05:00 | < MyCatSleeps> | But does the Frog have a soldering iron? |
| 05:01 | < MyCatSleeps> | VGA is just seperate RGB with a somewhat surprisingly crap connector, a couple synchronisation pins and a few misc odds and ends that I can't remember. Jerry-rig it! =D |
| 05:12 | <@ToxicFrog> | I am not going to try to convert 15-pin VGA into 2-pin RCA. |
| 05:12 | <@ToxicFrog> | Totally different signaling protocols. |

| 22:25 | <@McMartin> | Possibly of some interest to the Linux-based IFers here: http://www.sf.net/projects/gnome-inform7/ |
| 22:32 | | * MyCatVerbs pokes their CVS repo. |
| 22:33 | < MyCatVerbs> | Oh wow. Active development! |
| 22:33 | <@McMartin> | Well, yes, it was released, like, yesterday. |
| 22:34 | < MyCatVerbs> | McMartin: it's been in the works for at least five months. |
| 22:34 | <@McMartin> | Yeah. There were actually several of them. |
| 22:34 | <@McMartin> | The reason none of them went anywhere is because until March 25, 2007, you had to use Wine to actually run the compile. |
| 22:34 | < MyCatVerbs> | Latest release, 0.2, must've been, uh, today. |
| 22:35 | <@McMartin> | Yeah |
| 22:35 | <@McMartin> | This actually isn't the one I tested before. |
| 22:35 | <@McMartin> | That one was written in Haskell. |
| 22:35 | < MyCatVerbs> | Since there are several files in that repo whose last checkin was two hours ago, with reasons given as "blah blah final changes for 0.2" |
| 22:36 | < MyCatVerbs> | Hrmn. Am I the only one here to whom Carl Jung sounds like a complete and utter dingbat fruitcake? |
| 22:36 | <@McMartin> | He's More With It Than Freud (tm). |
| 22:36 | < MyCatVerbs> | My cat is more With It than Freud. |
| 22:37 | < MyCatVerbs> | Really, he does understand the complexities of human emotions. It's just that he doesn't care. ;) |
| 22:37 | <@McMartin> | I prefer reverse Freudianism. |
| 22:37 | < MyCatVerbs> | /? |
| 22:37 | <@McMartin> | Instead of everything being sublimated sex drive, the sex drive is what gets the cycles if you'd otherwise be idle. |
| 22:38 | < MyCatVerbs> | What, viewing the genitals as an extension of the brain instead of the inverse? |
| 22:40 | < MyCatVerbs> | (I kid, I kid. At least partially.) |
| 22:44 | <@Mahal> | McM: you have committed the cardinal sin of making a theory based on observed reality. |
| 22:44 | <@Mahal> | Bad. |
| 22:45 | <@McMartin> | I know, it goes against all tenets of social science. |
| 22:45 | <@McMartin> | Also, it's not quite right. |
| 22:45 | <@McMartin> | Because quite often, the Giant Robots drive gets the cycles, not the sex drive. |
| 22:45 | <@Mahal> | INdeed. |
| 22:45 | <@Mahal> | But. |
| 22:50 | | Mahal is now known as MahalGone |
| 22:58 | <@McMartin> | General coolness: http://www2007.org/program/paper.php?id=595 |
| 23:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hm. I need a specific function, but I'm lame enough at math that I don't know exactly what it would be. The function I need doubles for every 64 times increase over the old value, beginning with f(1) = 100. f(64) = 200, f(4096) = 400, and so on. |
| 23:03 | <@Vornicus> | try n ** (1.0/6) |
| 23:04 | <@Vornicus> | (* 100) |
| 23:04 | <@AnnoDomini> | Oooh! Thank you. |
| 23:05 | | * AnnoDomini wonders what they call that root. |
| 23:07 | < MyCatVerbs> | ? |
| 23:08 | < MyCatVerbs> | f(x) = 100 * ln(x) / ln(64) |
| 23:09 | < MyCatVerbs> | And your compiler should perform partial evaluation, knocking 100/ln(64) out into a single constant, making it one multiplication and one logarithm operation. |
| 23:10 | <@AnnoDomini> | Compiler? No, no, this is for determining how much dice of damage an N kiloton nuke deals. |
| 23:10 | <@AnnoDomini> | Based on the Kiloton Epic Spell. |
| 23:13 | | * Vornicus eyes MCV's thing |
| 23:13 | <@Vornicus> | uh |
| 23:14 | <@Vornicus> | MCV's will give you 0, 100, 200, 300... |
| 23:14 | <@AnnoDomini> | !parse $calc( 100 * ( $log(1) / $log(64) ) ) |
| 23:14 | < KarmaBot> | [AnnoDomini]: 0 |
| 23:14 | <@AnnoDomini> | !parse $calc( 100 * ( $log(64) / $log(64) ) ) |
| 23:14 | < KarmaBot> | [AnnoDomini]: 100 |
| 23:15 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hm. |
| 23:15 | <@Vornicus> | Mine gives the right answers |
| 23:15 | <@AnnoDomini> | Yes. It does. |
