<@gnolam>
Argh.
17:02
<@gnolam>
I just found myself longing for Lisp again.
17:03
<@gnolam>
Now where did I put that cordless drill? I need to purge these thoughts...
17:06 attilla is now known as Attilla

<@ToxicFrog>
Why?
17:45
<@gnolam>
Because it is (madness)!
17:46
< Reiver>
(Madness?)
17:49
< C_tiger>
gnolam, a drill is so barbaric. The current accepted practice is to stick two sterile electrodes up your eye sockets and run about 1000 V between them.
17:54
<@gnolam>
Reiver: madness, only more Lisp-y.

19:29 * McMartin transports the Slackware 12.1 ISO between machines by burning it to a DVD and re-ripping it, because it's actually more convenient that way.
19:29
<@McMartin>
Boo lousy upload speeds
21:05
<@AnnoDomini>
Virtual PC is nifty.
21:05
< Shoukanjuu>
>_>
21:06
< Shoukanjuu>
Couldn't you...like
21:06
< Shoukanjuu>
Move it across the network
21:06
<@McMartin>
I have 40KB/sec uplink.
21:06
< Shoukanjuu>
Are they not on the same network?
21:06
<@AnnoDomini>
And how massive is the ISO?
21:06
<@McMartin>
Indeed not.
21:06
<@McMartin>
4.5GB
21:07
<@AnnoDomini>
Ow.
21:07
<@AnnoDomini>
I see you period.
21:07
<@McMartin>
It's a DVD
21:07
< Shoukanjuu>
I'd do that, too
21:07
< Shoukanjuu>
burn and re-rip
21:07
<@McMartin>
Really, I'd normally just burn and use directly, but I kind of want the ISO.
21:08
<@AnnoDomini>
Blades of Avernum crashes occassionally if I run it on my box here, but not if I run it in VPC.
21:09
<@McMartin>
Heh. I know TF was using VirtualBox for Dwarf FOrtress purposes, too.
21:09
< Shoukanjuu>
Hmm.
21:09
< Shoukanjuu>
I remember virtual PC
21:09
< Shoukanjuu>
That was way back when, though. With my beige G3.
21:10
<@McMartin>
I figured he was talking about MS's Windows-on-Windows program.
21:10
< Shoukanjuu>
Well, it was called Virtual PC
21:10
< Shoukanjuu>
iirc, Microsoft got uppity
21:10
< Shoukanjuu>
And it went off the market
21:12 * McMartin hears Parallels has a Windows version now too, but doesn' tknow how well it works.
21:12
< Shoukanjuu>
Of course, I was younger and didn't pay attention. I just know it was there, for the Mac at least, and then I heard Microsoft had something to do with the project getting shut down. Now there's Fusion and the like
21:13
<@McMartin>
That's VMWare
21:13
< Shoukanjuu>
Yes.
21:13 * McMartin would generally say that VMWare and VirtualPC seem to be the best-tested, with VirtualBox closing the ranks fast
21:13
<@McMartin>
And I have no idea about Parallels
21:14
< Shoukanjuu>
Well, I tried Parallels to see how Direct X worked there
21:14
< Shoukanjuu>
And it corrupted my VMWare partition o.o;
21:14
<@McMartin>
DirectX support tends to be terrible unless the host is Windows.
21:14
<@McMartin>
... Awesome. Duly noted.
21:14
<@McMartin>
For DirectXness, Crossover is I believe the current state of the art, and it's meh
21:14
<@McMartin>
Though it will run Portal.
21:15
< Shoukanjuu>
My guess...I used my Bootcamp partition for VMWare
21:15
< Shoukanjuu>
Adn then tried to use the same for parallels
21:15
< Shoukanjuu>
Then it wouldn't run in either
21:16
<@McMartin>
Crossover is essentially the commercial, D3D-focused port of Wine
21:16
< Shoukanjuu>
Parallels crashed for me, and VMWare said Parallels was still using it, so it couldn't use the partition either
21:16
< Shoukanjuu>
I see
21:16
< Shoukanjuu>
Fun.
21:16
< Shoukanjuu>
It works, now, but I had to destroy parallels. With fire.
21:21
< Shoukanjuu>
It might have been common sense to not do that, but hey.
21:21
< Shoukanjuu>
If it can be done, someone will do it
21:24
<@McMartin>
VirtualBox can read VMDKs: I've actually set up disks that run in both it and VMWare.
21:24
<@McMartin>
(Windows Host, Linux Guest, not that I expect the former to matter)
21:26
< Shoukanjuu>
Sounds good. Is VirtualBox a community sort of thing?
21:27
<@McMartin>
It's Sun's, but they have an open-source edition.
21:27
< Shoukanjuu>
Ooh.
21:27
<@McMartin>
From my personal experience with it, the OSE is unusable unless someone else does a bunch of work, so if you get OSE, get it from a distro. Otherwise stick with teh closed-source one, which ships with more toys anyway.
21:28
< Shoukanjuu>
Mmm.
21:29
< Shoukanjuu>
I'd suppose it's a word of mouth thing that makes it reach others. I get constant emails for VMWare and Parallels
21:29
<@McMartin>
It's a lot younger.
21:30
<@McMartin>
2.0 came out something like two weeks ago.
21:32
< Shoukanjuu>
Ohh. That explains it.
21:32
< Shoukanjuu>
Now you've piqued my interest. I shall do what I do best, and watch. Wait.

(Also, to clarify, the 'unless someone else does a bunch of work' part means 'SVN checkout is pretty lolno, but it seems to work if you apt-get or yum install it from the usual suspects"
