| 02:20 | < gnolam> | There. |
| 02:21 | | * gnolam can has 90Sr. |
| 02:21 | < gnolam> | Time to start beta testing. Hurr hurr hurr. |
| 02:47 | | * gnolam smacks himself. |
| 02:47 | | * kwsn smacks gnolam, just because |
| 02:47 | < gnolam> | When testing the beta radiation code, it's a good idea to equip the player with an instrument that can actually detect anything other than gamma. :P |
| 02:54 | < Alek> | Strontium, huh? |
| 02:54 | < Alek> | what do you do? |
| 02:55 | < gnolam> | Same as usual. |
| 02:58 | < Alek> | no, really. |
| 02:58 | < Alek> | what's your job? |
| 02:58 | < gnolam> | Student. :) |
| 02:59 | < gnolam> | But I'm moonlighting as developer for a (rather cool, if I may say so myself) project. |
| 02:59 | < gnolam> | A radiation safety exercise tool. Implemented in Half-Life 2. |
| 03:02 | < gnolam> | Until now, it's only handled gamma. |

| 03:04 | < Alek> | ... oh. code. nifty. |
| 03:07 | < gnolam> | Mostly. Also: 3d modelling, textures, map making, scripting, sound effects... |
| 03:08 | < gnolam> | And the occasional visit to the lab when we need to test the fidelity or get sound effects or whatever's necessary. |

| 03:09 | < gnolam> | Testing radiation alarms in practice feels... weird. |
| 03:10 | < gnolam> | I.e. "deliberately trying to reach as high radiation levels as possible". |
| 03:15 | < kwsn> | heh |
| 03:17 | < Alek> | ... |
| 03:17 | < Alek> | ahaha |
| 03:19 | < gnolam> | At least /one/ of the simulated instruments lets you adjust the alarm levels, making it possible to set it off with normal background radiation. |
| 03:22 | < gnolam> | Which it naturally compensated for by having several different, hardcoded /modes/ of alarm, depending on just how high the current dose rate is. :P |
| 03:22 | < gnolam> | Which were - again, naturally - insufficiently described in the manual. |
| 03:23 | < gnolam> | :P |

| 21:25 | < Tarinaky> | ANyone about? |
| 21:26 | < celticminstrel> | No-one whatsoever. |
| 21:26 | < celticminstrel> | Unless my presence counts. |
| 21:26 | < celticminstrel> | :P |
| 21:27 | < Tarinaky> | C#, generally speaking... worth learning? |
| 21:28 | < celticminstrel> | I don't consider it worth learning. Your mileage may vary. |
| 21:28 | < celticminstrel> | I don't know a lot about it, but I think it's a lot like Java. |
| 21:29 | < Anno[Laptop]> | If you want to do anything with the Microsoft framework, sure. |
| 21:29 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Otherwise, meh. |
| 21:29 | < Anno[Laptop]> | It's pretty much Java from the frontend. |
| 21:29 | < Anno[Laptop]> | The backend is different, IIRC. |
| 21:30 | <@McMartin> | Backend is less compatible but as a result better performance, etc. |
| 21:30 | < Tarinaky> | I'm contemplating spending my Christmas bonus on some books. |
| 21:30 | <@McMartin> | If you plan on learning XNA or something you pretty much have to pick up C# |
| 21:31 | <@jerith> | It's similar enough to Java that it isn't really worth learning unless you want to use it for something, AFAICT. |
| 21:31 | < Tarinaky> | A lot of the jobs I've seen advertised lately are C# and .NET positions. |
| 21:31 | < Tarinaky> | Hence why it's suddenly popped onto my, limited, radar. |
| 21:32 | < Anno[Laptop]> | Search for positions which need COBOL, FORTRAN or C. If you get employed, you're guaranteed to stay employed. :P |
| 21:33 | < Tarinaky> | I need to get my foot in the door first. |
| 21:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | Tarinaky: C# as a language isn't bad, it's basically a more polished Java. However, it's pretty much limited to making windows programs at present. |
| 21:33 | < Tarinaky> | ToxicFrog: What about Mono? |
| 21:34 | <@jerith> | Mono's usually a bit behind. |
| 21:36 | < Tarinaky> | Hmm... "Best of Game Programming Gems"? |
| 21:37 | < Tarinaky> | I've been recommended Volume 1 of the series but I've been unable to find it on Amazon :/ |
| 21:37 | <@McMartin> | The first few books in the series are excellent; 1 is superb almost all the way through |
| 21:37 | <@McMartin> | I haven't seen what's in the Best Of |
| 21:37 | <@jerith> | If you haven't read "The Pragmatic Programmer", it's definitely worth getting. |
| 21:38 | < Tarinaky> | McMartin: At the risk of being cheeky... the ToC is on the 'Look Inside' for it on Amazon >.< |
| 21:58 | <@McMartin> | Good to know! |
| 21:58 | <@McMartin> | I'll check when I'm on a machine that can actually use that~ |
| 21:59 | | * Tarinaky ordered them anyway. |
| 21:59 | < Tarinaky> | I flipped a coin and decided to have a punt on expedited delivery despite the weather. |
| 22:00 | < Tarinaky> | I have, essentially, just gambled a couple of quid on the weather >.< |
| 22:00 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 22:03 | < Tarinaky> | The irony is... I'm spending my Christmas bonus... paid by the Royal Mail xD |
| 22:03 | < Tarinaky> | Or maybe not irony. |
| 22:24 | | * TheWatcher isn't going to comment about fucking amazon >.> |
| 22:25 | < Tarinaky> | I've never had a bad experience with Amazon :x |
| 22:26 | < Tarinaky> | Unless you count my mum asking me if she should get a Kindle. |
| 22:26 | < Tarinaky> | (The answer was: "Mum, you can't even use a fucking TV remote. What are you going to do with a Kindle?!" in case you're curious) |
