00:29.04starseekerthat's... disturbing
00:29.37``Erikso there was a little bit of snow falling today
00:29.49starseekeryeah, saw that this morning
00:34.16``Erikwas down at jones junction looking at trucks when it started, and my car is almost on slicks, so it was a bit skeery
00:34.25starseekerugh
00:34.33starseekerany good trucks?
00:35.00``Erikseveral interesting looking ones... place was closed though... then drove down to carmax, thought they were open on sundays... nope
00:35.10starseekerheh
00:35.32starseekeryeah, this part of the country is definitely not a 24/7 kinda living
00:37.36``Erikthought it said it was open sunday when I looked up their info... ended up driving way further than I shoulda
00:37.51starseekernods
00:37.57starseekerneed to get new tires dude
00:38.45starseekereyes the Ford trucks on cars.com... apparently you just don't get anything workable for less thatn ~$2k-3k
00:41.10starseekergah - that's some ugly coloring
00:42.18``Erikif I get a truck, then I get summer tires... otherwise, I need all season tires...
00:43.18``Erikhm, my stuff from apple has shipped, neat
00:43.33starseekerah, so truck is for winter driving?
00:43.36``Erikayup
00:43.56``Erikplus towing plus hauling... want to do lawnscaping in the spring
00:44.08``Erika small pickup is very convenient
00:44.37starseekersure is
00:44.47starseekeryou were looking for a Dodge?
00:45.29``Erikdodge, toyota, nissan, ... want to avoid dodge and chevy
00:45.46starseekerFord OK?
00:45.50``Erik(though my only issue with chevy was the new venture transmission, where most use allison transmissions... which are supposedly good)
00:45.53``Eriker
00:45.54``Erikwant to avoid ford and chevy, sorry
00:45.59starseekerah :-)
00:46.06``Erikhurrr, I'm looking for a dodge, but I want to avoid dodge, DERP!
00:46.13starseekerthought Ford trucks had a decent record...
00:48.09``Erikabout the same as chevy
00:48.37starseekernods
00:50.28``ErikI'm not crossing 'em off my list, just a negative value in the formula
00:51.07starseekerhumph - wonder how come all the less expensive ones are in PA
00:51.44starseekercool - bed cover
00:51.52``Erikum, maryland has some insane taxes and inspection requirements
00:52.08``Erikyou may've noticed that with your civic... :D
00:52.13``Erikpa is a lot more lax
00:52.43starseekeryeah, I recall some big tax smack when I got here
00:53.01starseekerso if you buy in PA, is it harder than buying in MD?
00:55.08``Erikif you buy in pa and live in md, you pay for it, then pay a huge tax deal in md, then pay to have it inspected, plus all the crap they claim is busted (but isn't) so they break your car so you have to pay more for them to unbreak it
00:55.14``Erikplus the fresh veip reset
00:55.27``Erikjust got a notification in the mail that his car is up for that
00:55.49starseekerblegh
00:56.34``Erikkinda makes ya wonder if these people who commute from pa are smarter than the average bear O.o
00:57.19starseekerindeed
01:00.21starseeker<snort> pickuptrucks.com shows less than 10 trucks listed under $4000 in MD
01:01.52``Erikone of my specifiers is 4wd, which easily pulls it above that level... (I'd like to go out in a day sailor, if the ramp is mossy, you want drive on the front wheels to pull the ass out of the water...)
01:02.53``Erikalso helps get a bit of forward motion from a stop in snow (but doesn't help turning or stopping, which is scary... a lot of people buy 4wd suv's and think they turn and stop better... they don't)

14:28.41CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41505 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/misc/CMake/FindTCL.cmake: Comment tweaks
14:40.41starseekerhuh, cool:  http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/
14:54.08``Erikgot a tour of the st loogey fed reserve a while back, interesting stuff there
14:54.38``Erikor mebbe it was the kc one, hrm
14:55.32``Erikyeh, it was the st louis one... (field trip for the college capstone course, a combination of archeology and economics...)
14:55.46``Erikhttp://www.kaibabjournal.com/rf_photos/200705_st_louis/P5150063_st_lou_fed.jpg
15:38.18CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41506 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/pixcmp.c: use bu_optind instead of optind (win32 fix)
15:41.45CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41507 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/run.sh: add path info for the msvc build (using cygwin's sh)
15:48.31CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41508 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/win32-msvc8/brlcad/brlcad.sln: Add pixcmp
15:52.47CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41509 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/win32-msvc8/pixcmp/ (. pixcmp.vcproj): Add pixcmp
15:58.38CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41510 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/pixcmp.c: report the right filename when fopen errors
16:05.13CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41511 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/run.sh: Use a temp file to do the pixcmp test instead of /dev/null. Cygwin fakes a /dev and does not allow opening /dev/null for reading.
16:10.25CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41512 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/regress/shaders.sh: Mutter... take out hard coded paths and add more ensearch to get shaders.sh working with CMake.
18:17.49CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41513 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/parse.c: The %p option needs to continue if the lookup didn't succeed - fixes the failure in shaders regression test.
18:31.26*** join/#brlcad Elrohir (~kvirc@p5B14A918.dip.t-dialin.net)
18:40.04starseekerbrlcad: r37164, which reverted ``Erik's change in 37149, re-exposed a problem that's causing the solids.sh regression script to fail
18:40.25starseekerI'm  guessing that regression has probably been failing since January
18:44.39starseekerwait... I see where you updated parse.c...
18:44.58starseekergrr... - when did it start failing again?
18:56.59starseekerit looks like some problem with cp and strncat in bu_vls_struct_print case s...
19:02.45starseekergoes slightly crosseyed... why are we looking directly at vls->vls_str...
19:07.41CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03bob1961 * r41514 10/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/archer/CombEditFrame.tcl: Update calls to setKeypointVC to account for the selection column.
20:54.00CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41515 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/run.sh: Don't assume bc if dc is not found (but do assume awk as a last ditch attempt, because that's somehow better).
20:54.55CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r41516 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: TODO rt/bench confirmed on vista.
20:54.59``Erikhttp://brlcad.org/~erik/win32.bench
21:16.53CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r41517 10/brlcad/trunk/include/bn.h:
21:16.53CIA-55BRL-CAD: Updated macro BN_VECT_ARE_PARALLEL in file 'bn.h'. The macro now can identify
21:16.53CIA-55BRL-CAD: parallel vectors pointing in the same direction and in opposite directions. This
21:16.53CIA-55BRL-CAD: change should improve the results from the mged commands 'facetize' and 'ev'.
21:16.53CIA-55BRL-CAD: Initial test results look good but still in process of full testing.
22:06.24CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41518 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/libbu/parse.c: Rework some of the parser code to address issues observed with the db put ebm.s command in solids.sh regression.
22:08.50CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41519 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/parse.c: Add parser rework to trunk.
22:28.09CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41520 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libbu/parse.c: Bad developer - don't wipe out old fixes when committing new ones.
22:30.36CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41521 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/ (10 files in 7 dirs): Update cmake branch to trunk r41520
22:46.57*** join/#brlcad Elrohir (~kvirc@p5B14A918.dip.t-dialin.net)
22:47.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41522 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/regress/ (iges.sh library.sh shaders.sh spdi.sh): More regress script tweaks - for now I'm committing the addition of my current cmake build dir to the library.sh script, but this needs to become a configure file that CMake generates with the right path info.
22:49.08CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41523 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/regress/library.sh: Perhaps adding paths would allow both autotools and cmake to specify just the binary name and not name+subdirectory - that would be ideal
22:55.21CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41524 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/regress/ (CMakeLists.txt gqa.sh): Tweak gqa.sh script, reference correct build target to depend on.
23:15.24CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41525 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/regress/CMakeLists.txt: depends on fast4-g
23:25.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41526 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/librt/primitives/bot/bot.c:
23:25.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: The Tcl_DoOneEvent call here (I believe added by n_reed in r40357) is causing a
23:25.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: crash in the regression tests. Was not there previously. Other calls have been
23:25.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: added - may want to remove them all, but this is the only confirmed troublemaker
23:25.07CIA-55BRL-CAD: at this time.
23:26.29CIA-55BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41527 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/bot/bot.c: Remove the known troublemaker from trunk, too
23:47.31starseekerbrlcad: I'm not quite sure what to do about the bio.h failure - cmd.h is using it (apparently) for stuff on Windows?
