16:29.55brlcadwoot, search box now expands
16:31.42brlcadZ80-Boy: it's not something that is done every day, usually for making presentation movies or for visualizing some specific results
16:32.51Z80-Boybrlcad: I changed my program for high-quality RGB->Y'CbCr conversion to have the table compiled inside the binary, and to be faster by reusing repeating values
16:33.09Z80-Boybrlcad: do you think that my program doesn't have a practical value then?
16:33.29Z80-Boyor let's say significant practical value, when people don't do videos often?
16:33.48brlcadehhhh.. i never indicated that it didn't have a practical value
16:34.05brlcadsounds like it clearly has some value, particularly to you, probably to others too
17:06.01Z80-BoyI meant to others
17:06.11*** join/#brlcad butti (n=butti@e178064167.adsl.alicedsl.de)
17:06.16Z80-Boydo you think it makes sense to invest time into making it releasable as an add-on for BRL-CAD?
18:39.58brlcadZ80-Boy: probably, but then to be a proper addition there are still the redistribution issues
18:41.36brlcadif it was a polished and documented tool, it could be compiled and included into src/other with you retaining copyright, but would still have to be either LGPL or BSD licensed
18:42.31brlcadthe requirement of assignment hasn't changed on being included elsewhere in src (like src/util or src/anim)
18:42.43brlcadminute-ssh: finished!
18:43.09brlcad6 hours later and now both of the search boxes resize properly :)
18:44.39brlcadthe only nit-pick remaining that I'm still not really happy with is the download link
19:06.47Z80-Boybrlcad: and adding a section on the website with links to other programs that can be interfaced to BRL-CAD?
19:07.14brlcadthat's the idea for the wiki regardless, any community info of relevance
19:07.36brlcadbtw, there's a write-up on there already for ronja
19:07.45brlcadno pictures, yet, but it does have the text
19:07.56Z80-BoyURL?
19:08.00brlcadif you would review it for accuracy, that would be cool
19:08.15brlcadhttp://my.brlcad.org/wiki/Ronja
19:09.02minute-sshbrlcad: well done
19:09.23minute-sshgot anywhere with LDAP yet?
19:10.00minute-sshyeah, the download link looks a bit ugly
19:10.26minute-sshnot sure what it could be replaced with though
19:10.43Z80-Boy"The interactive geometry editor and ray-tracers in BRL-CAD are an integral part in the communication of design plans for Twibright labs and enables them to connect with the users, who are the driving force behind the User Controlled Technology ideal."
19:11.06Z80-BoyActually no user ever attempted to edit a 3D model of Ronja I did all
19:11.27Z80-BoyIt's not clear to me what "users, who are the driving force behind the User Controlled Technology ideal" means
19:12.05Z80-BoyI am also not sure how innovative my piece of equipment it is, considering the low-cost parts involved
19:12.18Z80-BoyBut one could say that the project is innovative, that definitely
19:12.24brlcadit doesn't say that users edit
19:12.39brlcadit says the editor and ray-tracers were used to connect with users
19:13.46brlcadmaybe help to read it more carefully before giving critique :P
19:14.07brlcadit's intentionally got marketing spin in it, the question is whether you're okay with it -- if you want to tweak it, go for it
19:15.02minute-sshbbl
20:31.52brlcadthere, that's a little better
