*** ChanServ sets mode: +o tpb00:00
IwanowitchMeh, I'm not going to think too much about it now anymore, I can barely keep my eyes open... I'll be getting back at you one of the next days.00:12
IwanowitchThough, nash, it's not very practical that you live on the opposite side of the world.00:12
nashIwanowitch:  Well most of the TP people are down here...00:13
IwanowitchWell, the hard way works too :)00:14
nashWhat - you are moving down here?00:15
IwanowitchHmm, no, not that hard.00:16
IwanowitchI was thinking about staying awake late and waking up early - that's hard enough :P00:16
nashheh00:17
nashThere is enough overlap time00:17
nashJust go to bed earlier, and talk your morning, our evening00:17
IwanowitchYep, should be possible.00:18
IwanowitchAnyway, I'm off now, I have classes to attend tomorrow and I'd better be awake. :)00:19
nashYep00:20
nashsleep well00:20
IwanowitchSee you.00:20

nashheyo mithro01:35
mithromorning nash01:36
nashLooked AI-wards yet?01:37
mithronot really01:38
*** matthewd has quit IRC01:49
mithrono time yet01:54
* brlcad notes he and mithro should probably discuss a couple competiting proposals at some point01:59
brlcad(not now, but soon) ;)01:59
mithrocompeting proposals?01:59
*** matthewd has joined #tp02:00
nashthis sound interesting...02:02
nashTwo proposals enter... one proposal leaves...02:03
* mithro is a bit confused02:04
mithrowhich I know happens quite a lot ;)02:04
* nash wonders if brlcad was here just to confuse you02:08
brlcadmithro: odd, you should see the same notifications of conflict02:08
brlcadyou have several applications with mentor's assigned (presumably implying high interest on your behalf)02:09
mithrobrlcad: checking now02:09
mithrowe didn't have any a day ago02:09
nashbrlcad: Where do they appear?02:09
brlcadmithro: i've only marked one so far (a couple days ago)02:09
brlcadnash: in big red bold letters on their application02:09
brlcadi suppose now is a good a time as any to go over at least one of them02:10
mithrobrlcad: not on the overview page?02:10
brlcadnope02:10
brlcadyou have to visit the individual02:10
mithroahh huh!02:11
nashirritating (lack of interface)02:11
brlcadthere's at least one other I haven't marked yet since I wanted to contact you guys first02:11
brlcadbut the other, Kornel's in particular is one worth discussing02:12
mithrobrlcad: you have pmsg's02:12
nashmithro: Can you message brlcad the location of the bat cave?02:12
mithronash: already done :P02:12
*** mithro has quit IRC02:42
*** mithro has joined #tp02:42
nashEpyon: You there?02:56
brlcadis there a specific os x maintainer for tp?03:07
brlcadwow, huge binary03:08
*** Porthos_ has joined #tp03:12
mithrobrlcad: blame mac, windows it's only 7mb and linux it's under 1mb!03:19
brlcadsomething is wrong with the application bundle too03:20
brlcaddoesn't run if it's installed03:21
brlcadruns from the dmg, though .. probably some embedded path issue03:21
mithrolousy fat binaries03:22
brlcadactually, it's showing about 100MB are in the Resources, not the binaries or even the unstripped (30MB) frameworks/dylibs03:22
brlcadahh, ./Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload is the predominant culprit03:26
brlcadunstripped universal binaries03:26
mithrowe could use a mac packager :P03:26
* brlcad sees that :)03:27
* brlcad would have wanted to steal the rtfs splash screen ship :)03:27
brlcadat least for the dmg or something03:27
* brlcad tries to find an original on-line somewhere03:28
mithroI borrowed my sisters PPC G4 to do the packaging03:29
brlcadwoot, http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/thumbnail/993409009-00.jpg03:30
tpb<http://ln-s.net/MMe> (at www.mobygames.com)03:30
brlcadnot quite as good as the vga one :) http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/game_boxes_large/reach_for_the_stars.jpg03:30

brlcadthere we go... http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/original/993409009-00.gif03:31
jothamholy that spaceship is sexy03:31
tpb<http://ln-s.net/MMi> (at www.mobygames.com)03:31
brlcadsorry for the spammage, I get a little excited03:31
brlcadthat ship sucked me into sci fi at a rather young age, reading books, drawing/art pics, programming, ...03:32
mithrobrlcad: did you get a background in the DMG?03:33
brlcadmithro: yes, looked good03:33
jothamorganic ships are so sexy03:33
jothamthe ships in eve are cool (online space mmo)03:33
jothami approve of the design03:33
mithrobrlcad: I do notice that the box specifically labeled "Not copy protected"03:33
brlcadheh, that it does, though that phrase meant something rather different back then03:35
jothamheh03:35
mithrobrlcad: I wonder what it ment?03:35
brlcadit means the floppies didn't have some stupid form of copy protection on them03:35
brlcadthat used to be a buying consideration.. could you make copies of the floppies (to give to your friends, to make a backup, etc)03:36
nashit means you could use the disk more then 50% of the time03:36
mithros/floppies/cd or dvd/ and you get the same meaning now right?03:36
nashyeah03:36
brlcaddepends what meaning you gathered, but yeah03:37
brlcadit doesn't mean no copyright protection03:37
nashyeah03:37
brlcadjust you're not drm-ish prevented03:37
brlcadthough the "drm" back then was pretty weak too, usually a quick hex editing and you could get past most disks03:37
brlcadcept for the rare few that actually burnt bad sectors onto their disks and would check for them03:38
nashAs opposed to today ssophisticated techniques where the burn bad sectors into the CD and hope your player doesn't check for them03:39
brlcad:)03:39
brlcadI've only seen one app/disk so far where I couldn't perform a raw disk copy, that being apple's final cut pro flagship03:41
brlcadbut that was a case where the seat license is multiple k and they had complete knowledge of their hardware extents03:41
mithroi think todays sophisticated techniques are to install a root-kit on your computer and then do other bad stuff :P03:42
brlcadmost just do license server or hardware dongles now for the pricier items03:42
nashmithro: You mean threaten your ISP, then call a lawyer...03:42
mithrobrlcad: I havn't seen a hardware dongle in years03:43
brlcadmithro: ahh, I see them all the time with various CAD/CAM vendors03:43
brlcadusually stuff that presses a 10k+ per-seat license03:43
brlcadand it's usually optional, with there being a floating license server option available too (at a higher price)03:44
nashCan't say I've seen one... but I think every single piece of software on this computer (except stars!) is open source.. and I work with embedded devices03:44
nashSo I'm not the best example ;-)03:45
brlcadyeah, different market03:45
brlcadmy guess would be it's probably limited to computing for "industrial" purposes in general, not even just general commercial03:45
nashbrlcad: Yes ;-)03:46
* brlcad spanks someone for naming a Mac gui binary "tpclient-pywx"03:46
mithroi've mainly seen floating license stuff03:47
brlcadhm, and I don't quite see why the .app doesn't like your icon declaration .. shows up generic even though at a glance the Info.plist "seems" okay03:48
nashIs the image format acceptable?03:49
brlcadimage format?03:49
brlcadoh, the .icns?  that part opens just fine03:50
nashokay03:52
* nash is just guessing - he knows bugger all about mac at that layer03:52
brlcadyeah, it's a bit bizarre .. I am pretty familiar with it, but I don't even see what's wrong .. would have to build up the .app myself to debug it03:55
brlcadand apparently the system python framework is too old?  i see python seems to be fully embedded in the binary03:56
brlcad(not critiqueing at all fwiw .. I know it's a work in progres, need more devs, etc.. good stuff) ;)03:56
nashbrlcad: There is no full time mac developer03:59
nashSo that is part of the problem03:59
* brlcad nods03:59
nashIf you know anyone who may be interested, point them our way03:59
brlcadwill do!03:59
nashYou owe us 2 developers now after all ;-)03:59
brlcadhehe03:59
brlcadproviding a mac client that "just worked" and worked well was one of the specific feature/changes that expanded bz's visibility by a noticeable amount (about 4 years ago now)04:01
tpbaloril has quit worldforge (Read error: Connection reset by peer)04:03
tpbaloril has joined on worldforge04:05
nashbrlcad: To be frank TP needs a bit of 'just work' magic on all platforms04:06
mithrobrlcad: it's quite hard, because I'm the only real developer on tpclient-pywx and I don't even have perminate access to a mac04:07
