| 16:04 | < Alek> | AHAHAHA |
| 16:04 | < Alek> | a "software company" wants to conduct "online interviews" by Y!M |
| 16:05 | < Alek> | odds on it being a scam and/or a potential way to get malware onto my system? |

| 16:10 | <@TheWatcher> | yahoo messenger |
| 16:12 | < Rhamphoryncus> | Alek: if this isn't a response to a resume you sent then yeah, I'd bet on it being a scam |
| 16:13 | < Alek> | it's a response. |
| 16:14 | < Alek> | aaaand yikes. |
| 16:15 | < Alek> | looks like the latest FF update has crashed the browser because it can't install itself so it keeps looping the start-update-error-close-repeat |

| 16:18 | < Alek> | everything's wanting to update. |
| 16:18 | < Alek> | except for windows. yet. |
| 16:19 | < Alek> | I think I'll have to uninstall FF and reinstall from scratch. :( |
| 16:19 | < Alek> | oh whew. no, we're good. |

| 19:57 | < Anno[Laptop]> | This is strange. JA2 ran under WINE takes up only about 25% of a core, but runs rather slowly. |
| 19:57 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Tolerably, but slower than when emulated in VB. |
| 20:00 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Any idea how to assign a bit more resources to the game or something? |
| 20:06 | <@jerith> | CPU usage isn't necessarily the best indicator. |
| 20:06 | <@jerith> | It could be maxing out memory bandwidth or something. |
| 20:07 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Why is performance worse than emulated? |
| 20:08 | <@jerith> | Dunno. |
| 20:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | What emulator are you comparing it to? |
| 20:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | Oh, virtualbox. |
| 20:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | My guess would be: either wine is using a rendering mode that is very slow on your system and VB isn't, or it's using an API that wine has a particularly slow implementation of. |
| 20:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | Don't forget that virtualbox is not an emulator but a virtualizer; most of the code runs directly on the CPU. |
| 20:18 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Is there anything I can do to alleviate the problem? |
| 20:23 | <@ToxicFrog> | Run it in virtualbox? |
| 20:24 | <@ToxicFrog> | IME, wine is generally slower than VB, the API translation it does is slower than the ring switches VB does. |
| 20:25 | < Anno[Laptop]> | I'd really rather not run it in VB. The game is buggier than an anthill, and has a host of other issues there. It takes less effort to 'kill `pgrep ja2.exe`' than to reboot the VB. |
| 20:25 | < simon_> | IME, stuff breaks in wine. |
| 20:27 | < simon_> | I installed photoshop and it worked excellently the first time it started, but none of the subsequent runs were non-buggy. so I version-controlled my .wine and resat it. |

| 21:57 | < gnolam> | Anything special you had to do to get JA2 to work in WINE? |
| 22:07 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Not really. |
| 22:08 | < Anno[Laptop]> | I installed the v1.13 patch directly on top of the Gold release. |
| 22:08 | < Anno[Laptop]> | I'm back to playing it in VB, since the rendering is mightyslow in WINE. |
| 22:08 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Maybe on your hardware it'll run appreciably. |

| 22:20 | < OhChristRah> | I think I found it. |
| 22:20 | < OhChristRah> | "setxkbmap -layout "dk"" Solved it magically. |
| 22:27 | < gnolam> | Anno: I was considering trying it on the EEE, you see. |
| 22:29 | < gnolam> | (It's got enough power to run JA1 in DOSBox, so...) |
