| 00:29 | <@McMartin> | Muahahahaha |
| 00:29 | | * McMartin runs a script, modifies 291 files. |

| 00:47 | <@McMartin> | 292 files! |
| 00:47 | | * McMartin forgot to count the ChangeLog entry. |
| 00:50 | <@Finerty> | well, the changelog I don't think you script-modified |
| 00:56 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Finerty: easily rectified. ./evilscript.sh && svn ci * |
| 00:56 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Finerty: thus turning it into a Bourne shell one-liner, yaaay! |
| 01:23 | | gnolam [lenin@Nightstar-10613.8.5.253.static.se.wasadata.net] has quit [Quit: Z?] |
| 01:44 | | ReivUni [~82d94c4d@Nightstar-29731.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #Code |
| 01:44 | < ReivUni> | Oh yeah this place might be better~ |
| 01:44 | < ReivUni> | We're doing databases - SQL for the databases, okay, fine. For the rest of the applications, it's VB or C#, 'cuz that's what it's supposed to be done in. |
| 01:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | IOW, "because I'm the professor and what I say goes"? |
| 01:46 | < ReivUni> | Mostly because they're providing us with free copies of MS Studio.net, I suspect. |
| 01:46 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aaah. |
| 01:46 | < ReivUni> | And given it's group work, having a standardised codebase is probably useful. |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Have you talked to the prof and the TA? |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Could you do it in a different language if you could get the rest of your group to agree? |
| 01:47 | < ReivUni> | ...maaaybe. |
| 01:47 | < ReivUni> | But given I can't even find a group at the moment that might be counting my chickens before I even have any eggs. |
| 01:47 | | * ToxicFrog nods |
| 01:47 | <@ToxicFrog> | Still. Might be worth asking. |
| 01:48 | < ReivUni> | To whit: We have to find ourselves groups by friday. Most of the class seems to know others in it, so the informal approach looks to be notoriously hit-and-miss - everyone around me instantly sorrted out groups of three within about two minutes, which left me a little stuck today. |
| 01:48 | <@ToxicFrog> | Although it's possible that they've entered into one of these agreements whereby MS gives them free software provided they only use that software. |
| 01:49 | < ReivUni> | The -other- method is to log into moodle and put your name down to be matched up with others. |
| 01:49 | < ReivUni> | Problem /there/ is that my enrolment paperwork isn't finished yet. |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Oh, you're using Moodle too? |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Cool. |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...aah. |
| 01:49 | < ReivUni> | So, uh, I can't actually log in. |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | YEaah, that could be a problem. |
| 01:50 | < ReivUni> | Also did I mention I cannot stand group work, much less groupwork while stuck with the metaphorical two exchange students who don't speak english~ >.> |
| 01:50 | < ReivUni> | (Oh, and said project is for the entire semester, and worth 25% of our course.) |

| 01:56 | | * ReivUni will probably resign himself to VB, on the basis he's had to deal with the stuff before; while mostly knowing just enough C/C++ for it to drive him insane~ |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Groupwork is great if you have a competent group. |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Good luck pulling that off before third or fourth year. |
| 01:58 | | * Finerty has never once had a competent group. |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | I had two excellent groups last semester. |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | And an ok one last year. |
| 01:59 | < ReivUni> | Second year, and I know no-one. |
| 01:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | And too many shitty ones over the years for me to keep track of. |
| 01:59 | < ReivUni> | Aye, this is the bit that worries me. |
| 01:59 | < ReivUni> | Not least in that I can work well in groups, but it has to be a good group - I'm absolutely and utterly horrible at groups that are anything less. |

It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings. But he gave a man courage at birth, and the will and might to kill his enemies, which, in the Cimmerian's mind, was all any god should be expected to do.] |

| 18:37 | | * GeekSoldier is not amused. |

| 18:37 | <@jerith> | Neither am I. |
| 18:38 | <@jerith> | This silly machine isn't doing what I want it to. |
| 18:38 | < GeekSoldier> | This silly SWT toy isn't doing what I want it to. |
| 18:38 | < GeekSoldier> | care to trade? |
| 18:39 | <@jerith> | I would, but you'd have to sign a heavy NDA. |
| 18:39 | <@Steven> | SWT? Is it like AWT? |
| 18:39 | < GeekSoldier> | Yes, only more and less evil. |
| 18:39 | <@jerith> | Evil in a different direction. |
| 18:41 | <@Steven> | I only did things in AWT/Swing in the past. |
| 18:42 | < GeekSoldier> | the problem is in the way SWT threads the UI separately from things like a Timer. |
| 18:44 | < GeekSoldier> | if I am using a checkbox to control whether a timer's listener should kick, it throws an Invalid Thread Access error. |
| 18:44 | < GeekSoldier> | now, I am reasonably certain that the solution is absolutely simple. |
| 18:48 | < GeekSoldier> | hmm. I think I figured it out. |
| 18:51 | < GeekSoldier> | Yay! |
| 18:51 | | * GeekSoldier does his happy dance. |
| 18:52 | | * GeekSoldier is now amused. |
| 19:07 | | * jerith is still not amused, but for different reasons. |
