<&McMartin>
X.25 shenanigans: Unnecessary; the VOS experts were on-site and managed to set it up to speak TCP, a not-unreasonable thing for an early-90s minicomputer to be able to do
06:43
<&McMartin>
Restoring server code: Big chunks are missing, people with influence will be deploying it
06:44
<&McMartin>
Server proxies and reimplementations: This is where I was mostly working; I've got about 90% of an extension to the QLink reimplementation to recognize when it's being fed game data and feed that to a socket that represents the the actual system
06:45
<&McMartin>
Then some other guys were going through the old C64 client sources and using that to construct a basic initial-packet that the client will react to in a way that shows proof of life.
06:45
<&McMartin>
We got that working by jamming it in with netcat, basically

<@Tarinaky>
So. Here's a slightly strange one.
11:58
<@Tarinaky>
Suppose I have a property I want to test which is measured as a graph/list of points.
11:58
<@Tarinaky>
I want to automate that test.
11:58
<@Tarinaky>
So I need some, sensible, way for the human to specify as part of that test what that chart /should/ look like.
11:58
<@Tarinaky>
s/graph/char/
11:59
<@Tarinaky>
*chart
11:59
<@Tarinaky>
s/list of points/list of samples/
12:00
<@Tarinaky>
My first thought is a list of (x,y,delta-y) tuples.
12:01
<@Tarinaky>
And assert (x,y +/- delta-y) must lie on our measured chart?

< Julius>
Ugh. Troublesome clients.
15:26
< Julius>
I fix their computer, demand sub-minimum wage payment because they're acquaintances. The thing works when I hand it over - I even showed to them that everything they wanted worked.
15:27
< Julius>
They complain about the price, of course.
15:27
< Turaiel>
Punch them
15:27
< Turaiel>
Right in the face
15:28
< Julius>
Two days later, they come back, with their box trapped in a reboot loop. I diagnose that I could just wipe everything and install a bootleg Win7 instead of the abomination they have installed and complain about. They say that the computer is on guarantee, and I agree to go with them to the nearby shop where they purchased it to negotiate.
15:29
< Julius>
The guarantee is apparently only for the hardware, not the software. They can fix the broken touchpad for free, but if it turns out to be a software problem, the fee is a little more than I demanded and it'll take twice as long as I took.
15:30
< Julius>
They suggest that I pay this fee. I remark that they must be joking.
15:30
< Julius>
In the end, they decide to give the box back to me to install that Win7 bootleg.
15:34
< Turaiel>
Still going to consider yourself an aquaintence after this? :P
15:34
< Julius>
If they ever come to me again, I'm going to charge them 300%.
15:35
< Julius>
Because otherwise it's not worth my time.
15:35
< Turaiel>
xD
15:36
< Turaiel>
I never charge to fix computers. It's a weakness.
15:37
< Julius>
Hopefully, I will get a job on Wednesday, thereby not being dependent on this to feed myself.
15:37
< Turaiel>
Good luck
15:40
< Julius>
Thanks.
