| 12:35 | <@gnolam> | Met 8 of the prospective clients now at least. Lots of interesting projects to choose from... |
| 13:35 | < Bobsentme> | Do any of them involve hiding bodies? |
| 13:39 | <@gnolam> | Nope. |
| 13:39 | <@gnolam> | Finding them, possibly. |
| 13:40 | <@gnolam> | Not much demand for body dumping planning software these days I'm afraid. |
| 13:40 | | * Bobsentme starts hanging some signs with "No bodies here!", "They went THAT way ---> " and "Cold. Colder...freezing." |
| 13:41 | < Bobsentme> | That's the problem with people these days, gnolam: No sense of planning / coordination. |
| 13:43 | <@gnolam> | Although one of the clients came up with this golden quote during his presentation: "You might have some opponents, or victims, and you could tell them to go shower or something." |
| 13:44 | <@gnolam> | Close enough? ;-) |
| 13:44 | <@gnolam> | (Yeah, I'm totally submitting it to PIIC) |
| 13:53 | < Eon> | o___o |
| 13:56 | < Bobsentme> | isn't the french word for shower "dousche"? |
| 13:57 | < Bobsentme> | Cause if your clients are french, they might not have meant "shower". |
| 13:57 | <@gnolam> | Hah. |
| 13:58 | <@gnolam> | No Frenchmen either, I'm afraid. |
| 13:58 | <@gnolam> | There was a German though - who looked eerily like the dark-haired psycho in "Funny Games". :o |
| 14:00 | < Eon> | INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY, PLANETARY INTERGALACTIC! |

| 14:24 | < Eon> | Dun dun dun! |
| 14:24 | < Eon> | :o |
| 14:35 | <@gnolam> | So. Just in case I get the RadiaX project: has anyone used the Source SDK? |
| 14:36 | < Eon> | Well I used it back in Korea but not since then |
| 14:36 | < Eon> | God damn bastards had us pinned down.. |
| 14:36 | < Eon> | So I threw a Source SDK at em |
| 14:36 | < Eon> | =] |

| 14:55 | <@ToxicFrog> | gnolam: I've poked it a bit, didn't make anything substantial, though |
| 14:57 | <@gnolam> | Your thoughts on it? |
| 15:02 | <@gnolam> | Also, OGRE - anyone have any experience of that? |
| 15:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | On the one hand, ;.; C++. On the other hand, it's fairly sane and well-documented. On the gripping hand, requires your targets to have bought HL2 or something else Source-based. |
| 15:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | No experience with OGRE. |
| 16:29 | <@gnolam> | Ah. Danke. |

| 19:59 | < UndeadAnno> | Image handling. |
| 19:59 | | * UndeadAnno also enjoys a glass of Cape Town Pinotage. |
| 20:06 | < UndeadAnno> | gnolam: How did you make it have page numbers, again? |
| 20:23 | <@gnolam> | Insert->Fields->Page number |
| 20:24 | <@gnolam> | Also, I thought you were a beer man exclusively? |
| 20:26 | < UndeadAnno> | ... |
| 20:26 | < UndeadAnno> | I have no idea what gave you that idea. |
| 20:26 | < UndeadAnno> | I like wine pretty much exclusively, of alcohols. |
| 20:26 | < UndeadAnno> | Specifically semi-sweet to sweet red wines. |
| 20:26 | <@gnolam> | Oh. |
| 20:27 | <@gnolam> | You should've liked Hedda's Holy Antifreeze then. ;) |
| 20:27 | < UndeadAnno> | I drink beer only socially, and even then if I have no choice. |
| 20:28 | < UndeadAnno> | During the Halloween horror one-shot run by a friend, I downed a bottle of Advocaat. :D |
| 20:28 | < UndeadAnno> | gnolam: HHA? |
| 20:28 | <@gnolam> | That godawful bottle Hedda shared with us in the minibus back from the Zone. |
| 20:29 | <@gnolam> | Bought in the Kiev Lavra monestary. |
| 20:29 | < UndeadAnno> | I got a sip from it. I did like it. |
| 20:30 | <@gnolam> | ^_< |
| 20:33 | < UndeadAnno> | It tasted like someone mixed a sugared-up fruit juice with vodka and stirred. |
| 20:39 | <@gnolam> | Something like that, yes. |
| 20:39 | <@gnolam> | Headache-in-a-bottle. |
| 21:05 | < LaughingMan> | I prefer natural ice..it has 5% alcohol compared to a regular beers 3.5% |
| 21:05 | < LaughingMan> | That and a bottle of patron or similar fine quality tequila, and of course, a bottle of zanex to wash it all down |
| 21:05 | < LaughingMan> | Hehe =] |

| 23:08 | <@Derakon> | How about "Everlasting Concerto of Blossom Rain?" ¬.¬ |
| 23:10 | <@Vornicus> | How about we /not/ use three-step machine translations. |
| 23:10 | < UndeadAnno> | Fuck. I'm writing a knowledge compilation for an exam. In Polish. |
| 23:10 | < UndeadAnno> | Suddenly, OO starts highlighting errors on every word. |
| 23:10 | < UndeadAnno> | I realize I've started writing in English. |
| 23:10 | <@Vornicus> | It's thinking in... hee. |
| 23:11 | <@Derakon> | Vorn: AIUI that kind of name is actually not unrepresentative of the kind of thing you see in many Japanese games. |
| 23:12 | <@Derakon> | For example, the Touhou series has titles like "Perfect Cherry Blossom", "Phantasmagoria of Flower View", and "Scarlet Weather Rhapsody". |
| 23:12 | <@Vornicus> | Heh |
| 23:12 | <@Derakon> | And Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance was Concerto of Midnight Sun in Japan. |
| 23:13 | < gnolam> | UndeadAnno: tired? :) |
| 23:13 | < gnolam> | Anyway, figuring out how to switch languages for a document, /that/ takes some doing. OO's UI designers will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. :P |
| 23:14 | < UndeadAnno> | gnolam: Not particularly. Whenever I am, I listen to the Programmer's Song. |
| 23:15 | <@Derakon> | Hm...before I add highscore tracking, I'll need to figure out how to make the bulletML file handling more abstract. |
| 23:15 | <@Derakon> | Right now there's only one course and it's hardcoded. |
| 23:15 | < gnolam> | Actually, scratch that. The people who upload their project descriptions as Word documents instead of PDFs shall be first against the wall. :P |

| 23:16 | < gnolam> | Hmm. The "Distributed Image Web Server Peer System" sounds basically like... distributed porn. :) |
| 23:16 | < gnolam> | (And now that I read the description I noice it's for Elfwood, so yeah, a fair bit of it will be ;D) |
| 23:17 | <@Derakon> | At the moment, though, coding is strongly counterindicated by the massive amounts of glare I'm getting. >.< |
| 23:18 | < gnolam> | Dim the lights? |
| 23:18 | <@Derakon> | That would require blinds or curtains or something of that nature. |
| 23:21 | | * UndeadAnno tries to explain Huffman coding so simply even a 4th year Informatics student can understand it. |
| 23:24 | < gnolam> | Move North. |
| 23:24 | < UndeadAnno> | To where? The People's Republic? |
| 23:25 | <@Vornicus> | Huffman coding is... I don't think I could describe it simply. |
| 23:25 | < gnolam> | Huffman coding gets you through CTU's firewalls. |
| 23:26 | < gnolam> | (Yes, based on a real "24" quote. Beginning with season 2, the series turns into a comedy instead of an action thriller.) |
| 23:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | Fun facts: 24 takes a harsher line on torture than the current US government. |
| 23:28 | < gnolam> | And they torture someone in every second episode. |
| 23:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yep. |
| 23:28 | <@McMartin> | With luck, that will change tomorrow afternoon~ |
| 23:29 | < gnolam> | I'll believe that when I see it. |
| 23:29 | < UndeadAnno> | Vornicus: Well, I think I understand it. |
| 23:29 | < UndeadAnno> | I might write only two pages on it. |
| 23:30 | < UndeadAnno> | Though the code generation will have to be explained by example. |
| 23:30 | < UndeadAnno> | Explaining generally will kill those unaccustomed to thought. |
| 23:32 | | * UndeadAnno proceeds to steal an image from Wikipedia, turn it into seven step-by-step images, and illustrate. |
| 23:34 | <@McMartin> | I know the generics but have no idea how to actually find the nominally optimal encoding. |
