01:33 * TheWatcher arghs at the dark engine
01:33
<@TheWatcher>
I know it's possible to do this, I have no sodding idea how, though
01:37
<&ToxicFrog>
Occasionally I toy with the idea of writing an extension for Dark that adds full lua scripting support
01:37
<&ToxicFrog>
Then I think back to everything you've said about programming for the Dark engine
01:38
<@TheWatcher>
There is actually an osm that lets you write scripts in lua.
01:38
<@TheWatcher>
The problem is that, while you can write it, the majority of the API is completely undocumented
01:39
<&ToxicFrog>
helpful
01:39
<@TheWatcher>
(not to mention horribly inconsistent)
01:39
<&ToxicFrog>
And unlike writing them in C++ you don't even get a type error when you misuse the API!
01:49
<@TheWatcher>
It does start to make a sort of twisted sense after a while, and it does make some tricks much easier, but SAN-friendly it is not
01:49
<&McMartin>
That's the way it goes, right~
01:50
<@TheWatcher>
(And life is so much easier now I've ditched 90% of Telliamed's rather horrendous base code)
01:50
<&McMartin>
I need to start seriously thinking about preparing an Ophis 2.1 release.
01:55
<&McMartin>
(Step 1: wrap up and merge labelmap branch. Step 2: finish documenting libbasic.oph as an experimental new feature. Step 3: Some pragmas to make the previous less annoying. Step 4: update docbook.)

*Infinite dimensional inner product space
10:25
<@Tarinaky>
I'm going for a shower. I might feel better if I get dressed.
10:25
<@Tarinaky>
I remember it involves using Gram-Schmidt Orthonormalisation. But I don't remember how to get started.

I won't get credit for doing that though

< Julius>
I wonder - is there such a thing in production as VGA cables with three ends?
23:18
< Julius>
I mean, for connecting two machines to one monitor, with a switch for controlling which signal gets to be displayed.
23:18
<&McMartin>
"KVM switch"
23:19
<&McMartin>
It's a little larger than just a cable with a brick in the middle, but that's the device that solves the problem you describe (and also multiplexes your keyboard and mouse)
23:19
< Julius>
Oooh.
23:20
< Julius>
That would really help. I've been having a bad time with manually plugging and unplugging.
23:21
<&McMartin>
Yeah, that's the search term you want on Amazon or Newegg or whoever.
23:21
<&McMartin>
"KVM" as an acronym is unfortunately a bit overloaded.
23:21
<&McMartin>
Keyboard/Video/Mouse Switch here, not Kernel Virtual Machine.
23:25
<@TheWatcher>
Julius: can't just use RDP/NX/X11?
23:26
< Julius>
That might also be possible. Both necessitate hardware purchase.
23:26
< Julius>
In the latter case, a switch.
23:26
<&ToxicFrog>
Yeah, multiplexing everything in software is kind of the easiest approach because that doesn't require any additional hardware (assuming you're already networked, which apparently you aren't!)
23:27
< Julius>
And another set of electrical plugs, because I'm at my limits with this amount.
23:27 Turaiel[Offline] is now known as Turaiel
23:28
< Julius>
Actually, lemme see if that router-switch I purchased for 20kr (tip included) actually works.
23:30
<&McMartin>
Agreed that multiplexing in software is the easiest but if you're in a space where you need to actually have Real Console Access to multiple machines from one keyboard it won't solve that.
23:30
<&McMartin>
You don't need that often.
23:35
<&ToxicFrog>
Mmm, point.
23:36
<&ToxicFrog>
My approach to that at work was a telnet<->serial bridge and I haven't needed it at home yet.
23:36
<&McMartin>
I last needed it in, um
23:36
<&McMartin>
2002
23:36
<&McMartin>
So I could IRC on a Linux machine and have videogames running on my copy of Win98SE.

23:36
< Julius>
The RS works!
23:36
< Julius>
But how do I communicate with it, to set up networking properly?
23:37
<@TheWatcher>
It'll probably have a management console on http://192.168.0.1/ or 10.0.0.1
23:39
<&ToxicFrog>
Julius: plug a computer into it. See what gateway you get assigned via DHCP. Try talking to that via http.
23:40
< Julius>
ToxicFrog: Herein lies the problem - it does not appear to be assigning stuff via DHCP. No default gateway. Perhaps I should just statically define the network?
23:42
<&ToxicFrog>
Aah. In that case, yeah, you have to guess what network it's operating on and set that statically, then talk to it.
23:42
<&ToxicFrog>
Or do a factory reset, if it's one of those models that does DHCP in its stock configuration.
23:42
< Julius>
I can't just arbitrarily assign IP?
23:43
<&ToxicFrog>
You can, but it has to be on the same subnet as the RS to actually talk to it, AIUI.
23:57
< Julius>
The so-called automatically assigned address is 169.254.246.110/16 - what should I be hitting if I wish to find the router's IP?
