mithroJLP: you could send the water here, we are in the worst droughts in recorded history02:54
JLPmithro: yeah, we were completely separated from the world, no internet, no traffic connections, barely any electricity02:54
JLPmithro: now we are slowly comming back to normal02:55
mithrohow long did they cause problems for?02:55
mithroJLP: so I assume no progress on the Qtopia front?02:57
JLPthe heavy rain and flood was for about 4 days, after that we needed about a week to clean landslides and everything02:57
mithro:/02:58
JLPmithro: no, absolutely no progress on anything but cleaning02:58
JLPand now that internet is back i also have a lot of e-mail cleaning to do :)02:59

mithrojust when you started to get into the swing of things it ended :/03:08
JLPcool, I just did a quck search thru e-mail and the Qtopia deadline has been moved from 31 october to 30 november03:09
mithroJLP: so do you think you are going to get a chance to do any work on it?03:09
JLPmithro: i think that in 6 weeks i can pull it off, i was about to give up on this, 2 weeks wouldn't be enought, but now that it is extended...03:11
mithroJLP: that would be cool03:12
mithrohopefully Lee will be able to finish my challenge soon03:13
JLPmithro: i just have to finish setting up my new laptop i got a couple of days ago, and then i should start working hard on this03:13
JLPmithro: also there is no exams now as the university has just started so no pressure because of this03:13
mithroJLP: that is good03:13
JLPmithro: btw it would be good to write some GSoC recap news article for the front page03:15
mithroJLP: that is another thing on my long list of things to do03:15
mithroJLP: I need to poke the students again so we can get some of the stuff release ready03:16

mithroDTRemenak: you just broke your rule then :)03:23
mithroDTRemenak: so what about Thousand Parsec most interests you?03:23

DTRemenaknow gee, why would you think that? :)03:24
mithroDTRemenak: you are an op on the bzflag channel according to whois?03:25
mithro[DTRemenak] #tp +#bzflag :)03:25
DTRemenakvoiced, not op03:26
* DTRemenak tries not to retain autoop anywhere03:26
DTRemenaklower channel temperatures when there are less ops03:26
DTRemenakas "just a guy" I don't have to be nearly as careful about telling people to STFU as if I'm an op ;)03:27
mithroahh okay03:27

greywhindmithro: hey - i got the text bug fixed, except for removing everything when changing to a different ship19:30
nashmithro: You may want to set up a page like this: http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Student_Kernel_Projects19:30
tpbTitle: Student Kernel Projects | KernelTrap (at kerneltrap.org)19:30
nashAnd I mean a proper page, not just a list of "Why not do some generator?"19:31
mithronash: yeah - we probably should19:31
mithroso much to do, so little time19:31
nash:-)19:33
* nash knows the feeling19:33
mithroI really need to get the CFP for the Gaming Miniconf out19:34
mithrootherwise it will be Thousand Parsec Miniconf :P19:34
mithroI need to do my tax too :/19:35
mithrogreywhind: ping?19:36
greywhindmithro: pong19:36
mithrohey19:36
greywhindhey19:36
mithroyou kind of just disappeared yesterday19:36
mithro[09:42] <mithro> I thought up some new stuff for you to work on :P19:37
mithro[09:42] <mithro> I would like you to add "next object/previous object" buttons19:37
mithro[09:43] <mithro> you figure out the text problem at all?19:37
mithroI have reserved this weekend for completing the new starmap for tpclient-pywx19:37
greywhindsorry. i wanted to get to sleep early, since break was ending.19:37
greywhindi got the text bug fixed, except for removing everything when changing to a different ship19:38
mithrogreywhind: oh, don't forget to push it :)19:38
greywhindmithro: yeah, once i get the remove fixed.19:39
greywhindright now, instead of disappearing, the old items bunch up like everything did before i fixed the first text bug19:39
mithrogreywhind: if you get some time this weekend, I think we should sit down and plan something a little more interesting for you to work on19:39
greywhindmithro: sure.19:40
mithroif you get that bug finished, I would like you to figure out the best place to put 'next object', 'previous object' buttons and to figure out what that actually means19:41
greywhindheh - you mean on the main window itself?19:41
mithrowell, on which panel does it make sense to have them?19:43
greywhindmithro: i'll figure it out, i guess.19:43
mithrois picture panel? the information panel?19:43
greywhindmithro: here's the current code for the remove - the large number of .Layout statements are just because i was trying to fix the text issue.19:43
greywhindhttp://rafb.net/p/Fb1s0V52.html (12 lines)19:43
tpbTitle: Nopaste - No description (at rafb.net)19:44
mithroand what does next mean? - Does it mean next object in system, next object of this type, next object at this level19:44
greywhindmithro: right... or next player-owned object19:44
mithroyeah19:44
greywhindmithro: does that code look reasonable to you?19:45
mithrogreywhind: btw, have you played stars! before?19:45
greywhindmithro: no - should I?19:46
mithrogreywhind: it might be good to get your hands on it19:46
mithrohttp://mithro.dyndns.org/Screenshot.png19:46
mithrothat is a screenshot19:46
mithroyou can kind of see the legacy it has on tpclient-pywx :)19:46
greywhindmithro: hmm... looks fairly similar.19:46
mithrogreywhind: once I have finished the starmap rewrite, I would like for you to work on adding new overlays to it19:48
greywhindmithro: what kind of overlays?19:49
mithrogreywhind: well, that is why playing stars! is probably a good idea :)19:49
greywhindmithro: i see. is there a mac client available, or should i do it on linux?19:49
mithrogreywhind: it runs under Wine on X86 fine19:50
greywhindmithro: hmm... i'll try it on the Mac wine build i have19:50
mithroyou have an intel mac?19:50
greywhindmithro: yep19:50
mithrocoolies, should work19:51
mithroit's really a win 3.11 program :P19:51
greywhindmithro: is this a game that you have to pay for?19:52
mithroit has a "demo" version19:52
mithrohttp://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=322819:52
tpbTitle: Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Stars! (at www.the-underdogs.info)19:53
greywhindthx19:53
mithrodon't play it too much, it can get very addictive19:54
greywhindmithro: alright. my main experience w/ space turn-based strategy games was Master of Orion II19:54
mithroI never played the original MOO or MOO 219:55
greywhindmithro: actually, i got this name from MOO II19:55
greywhindit's a very good game, i think.19:55
mithroI just never had the time19:56
mithroI should play it eventually19:56
greywhindyeah, i know what you mean19:56
greywhindheh. when i first played, on a PowerPC Mac about 8-10 years ago, it took like 1 minute per turn after pressing the "Done" key to calculate the next one... on my G4 Cube, it took almost no time at all.19:57
greywhindmithro: did you take a look at that code? it's not much.19:58
mithrogreywhind: yeah, it looked fine19:58
greywhindmithro: hmm... wonder why it's not removing correctly19:58
