| 00:33 | | Vornicus-Latens is now known as Vornicus |
| 00:38 | <@ToxicFrog> | It does? Son of a bitch! |
| 00:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | That's in POSIX, though. |
| 00:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | And yeah, setjmp/longjmp are in the C89 standard. |
| 00:40 | <@ToxicFrog> | That reminds me. |
| 00:40 | | * ToxicFrog checks the man page for atexit() |
| 00:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. POSIX.1 says it must support at least 32 exit handlers. Doesn't say how many, if any, the original C89 spec required. |
| 00:41 | | * ToxicFrog rummages for his dad's copy of the C89 documents |

| 00:45 | <+DiceBot> | [Reiver] 17(17*((1+10)/2)+18*11+10) = 17. |
| 00:45 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. Can't find it. |
| 00:45 | <@ToxicFrog> | I know he has one somewhere. |
| 00:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aaaaagh |
| 00:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | It should not be this hard to find the original text of the ANSI C89 specifications document! |
| 00:53 | <@ToxicFrog> | And I know that my dad has a copy, because he helped write the damn thing, but I can't find it anywhere. |
| 01:10 | | * MyCatVerbs perks an eyebrow. |
| 01:10 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Nice ancestry, heh. |
| 01:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | I blame him entirely for my interest in programming~ |
| 01:11 | | * Vornicus blames Santa Claus, who brought him a commodore 64 when he was 3. |
| 01:11 | | Vornicus is now known as Finerty |
| 01:37 | <@MyCatVerbs> | ToxicFrog: good on him, then. ;) |
| 01:37 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Finerty: three cheers for the tubby red guy, also. |

| 04:01 | <@McM[SanDiego]> | The specifications documents tend to cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. |
| 04:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | DEATH |
| 04:05 | <@Finerty> | DEATH? |
| 04:05 | <@Kyrre> | Death? |
| 04:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes. |
| 04:05 | <@Finerty> | Whyfor DEATH? |
| 04:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | "Oh look, we've created a standard for this thing, but if you want to make your implementation compliant so that it can interoperate with everything else you have to pay us" |
| 04:06 | <@Kyrre> | Because he can't find his ANSI C89 specifications document? |
| 04:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | Closed-access specifications => repeated kicks in the balls |

| 13:02 | <@Vornicus> | whee 768 source images. |
| 13:03 | | * Vornicus is doing straight X/Y, Z-recursive, and Hilbert data arrangement schemes, and making a "worm" go through all of them. |
| 13:04 | <@jerith> | For what is this imae? |
| 13:04 | <@jerith> | +g |
| 13:06 | <@Vornicus> | I'm making an LJ post. |
| 13:07 | <@jerith> | Ah. I shall probably read it on the morrow. |
| 13:07 | <@Vornicus> | Well, as soon as I make these images. It's... kinda a pain really. :) |

| 16:24 | <@EvilDarkLord> | Python Imaging Library. |
| 16:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah. |
| 16:31 | <@Vornicus> | I think you ask that every time we use that acronym. |

| 16:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Possibly. To me it's Programming In Lua, so Python Imaging Library doesn't get much of a foothold in the symbol table. |

| 21:42 | <@AnnoDomini> | There any way to convert HTML to TeX without spending a week trying to figure out how to make the converter source code compile? |
| 21:43 | <@jerith> | Depends on how complex the HTML is. |
| 21:44 | <@jerith> | You could probably hack up a dictionary translator in a couple of hours. |
| 21:44 | <@jerith> | Assuming you have fairly simple output and aren't trying to build a general-purpose translator. |
| 21:46 | <@AnnoDomini> | I'm looking for something I can download and run. I'm not a competent programmer. |
| 21:47 | <@jerith> | Ah. |
| 21:47 | <@EvilDarkLord> | AnnoDomini: http://www.iwriteiam.nl/html2tex.html looks promising. |
| 21:47 | <@jerith> | I don't know such a beast. |
| 21:47 | <@EvilDarkLord> | Google for 'html to tex' yields a fair amount of results. |
| 21:48 | <@AnnoDomini> | That's what I did. |
| 21:48 | <@AnnoDomini> | I want a binary, though. |

| 22:00 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hrm. It seems I'll just have to copy-paste. Oh, well. It's a viable solution, there aren't many tables. |
| 22:01 | <@AnnoDomini> | Hm. How do I make the margins smaller? The default options have these huuuuuge margins. I don't want them so big. |
| 22:09 | <@AnnoDomini> | Ah, there. |
| 22:10 | | * AnnoDomini likes it how his Uni has an Electronic Documents class. Useful stuff is taught. |
| 22:12 | | * AnnoDomini now grapples with how to include pictures. |
| 22:14 | <@EvilDarkLord> | In TeX or HTML? |
| 22:15 | <@AnnoDomini> | TeX. |
| 22:17 | <@EvilDarkLord> | http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/figures.html give you what you want? |
| 22:19 | <@AnnoDomini> | Already found it. Only now I'm struggling with finding a way to convert GIF to EPS/PS. |
| 22:20 | <@EvilDarkLord> | Imagemagick might help. |
| 22:27 | | * AnnoDomini mumbles. Command line interface only? |
| 22:31 | | * AnnoDomini mumbles with improved vigor. No filename wildcards? |
| 22:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...why would the app need to support those? |
| 22:36 | <@ToxicFrog> | for i in *.gif; do convert $i <other options>; done |
| 22:38 | <@AnnoDomini> | The information page says it does support globbing. But I'm getting these weird errors - apparently, it wants to open the output files. Which don't exist yet. >_< |
| 22:40 | <@AnnoDomini> | Okay, it works now. Why the hell it wouldn't accept wildcards in the output filenames - beats me. |
| 22:52 | | * AnnoDomini feels a great rage, for nothing he tries works. Why is that thrice-accursed \includegraphics commands still italicized?! |
