[14:18] Nick Change: brx_ changed nick to brx [14:18] Hi Brx [14:19] The latest version is there. Much has been added overnight [14:20] who pasted all the hills there :) it's like a nano summary [14:21] You might be right :) [14:31] It is time for dinner [14:32] * sf waves [14:32] * brx waves [14:32] MSG: Quit: Bersirc 2.2, for external use only. [ http://www.bersirc.org/ - Open Source IRC ] [15:25] Join: Roy joined #corewars [15:47] Join: Fluffy joined #corewars [15:47] :) [15:48] good day Fluffy. [15:48] :) [15:48] I've started to work on a simple client for calculating score surfaces. [15:49] I have settled on a long term project. [15:49] great Fluffy :) [15:49] All you have to do is to start the client [15:49] brx: What is it? [15:50] writing a distributed evolver mainly for nano in erlang. [15:50] nice :) [15:50] and which MARS will you use? do you write your own? [15:50] I think fmars [15:51] I am still working out the details. there are so many possibilities to evolve. and how to distribute work. [15:52] brx: Do you think, that I build in a "score surface viewer" to show the currently calculated data? [15:53] Fluffy: why not? [15:53] It would make things more difficult, especially for Windows user [15:54] I use Python for the client, which works quite well for Linux and Windows [15:54] how would it make things more difficult for the windows user? [15:55] I would settle for PyGTK, but a "normal" Windows user would have to install Python, GTK+ and PyGTK first before he could use the client [15:55] And that's a lot of Megabytes [15:55] to download. [15:56] why don't you settle for wxwindows instead? [15:56] As an alternative I could write a simple Python script, that generates a SVG file from the currently available data [15:57] Would be the same problem. wxwindows, pywxwindows to download [15:58] hmm ... I think I'll settle for the SVG solution for the moment. It is the easiest :) [16:01] Seems to work :-) The user starts the client. The client fetches the next available patch from my server and starts the calculation. Now I only need to find a good way to send the data back. [16:01] via email? [16:02] I can't use a simple HTTP POST, because I don't have that much space available on my server [16:03] MSG: [16:38] brx: I really love that duck from bubblefishymon :-) [16:39] Fluffy: it should make squeeky sounds. [16:40] No, that lovely duck is enough. Apart from that I usually don't have my speakers switches on [16:43] I've settled now with the most simple version for the client. No GUI (but SVG generation on demand), data is manually sent by user to GMail address. I fetch the data from there (yet another script) and create the complete score surface. [16:44] Why do you want to use Erlang for your evoler? [16:44] I've already started [16:44] started what? [16:44] hacking erlang. :) [16:45] :) [16:47] aaah thank you erlang [16:47] (lafiel@solace)10> date(). [16:47] {2006,2,1} [16:47] (lafiel@solace)11> time(). [16:47] {17,47,0} [16:47] err [16:48] this is probably the most important thing in the whole program. [17:10] * brx ponders what to do now [17:15] Join: sf joined #corewars [17:15] Hello [17:16] Hi sf :-) [17:16] Hi Scruffy :-) [17:16] hi [17:16] Sf. [17:16] Hi Brx [17:17] sf: hmm ... [17:17] * Fluffy kicks sf :-) [17:17] * sf makes arrangements for Scruffy to be shot at dawn [17:17] Oh, that's a good name for my new oneshot [17:18] You can't do that. I want to sleep during the next dawn [17:18] :) [17:18] Then you'll be shot in your sleep [17:19] a very humane way to die. [17:33] I bought a new book "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" [17:43] * sf thinks Fluff is sleeping already [17:44] http://brx-019.blogspot.com/ [17:45] I hate that movie! [17:46] sf: oh I loved it [17:46] sf: I always sleep :) [17:47] brx: You should use more fluffy names :) [17:47] Fluffy: I will :) [17:49] I believe nobody gets the kroeger bit. [17:49] Chad Kroeger? [17:49] sf: tonio kroeger [17:50] hmm [17:50] it's the name of a little novelle by thomas mann [17:50] brx: I couldn't spam your ICQ account. You're not online :-( [17:51] Fluffy: I am online. [17:51] via icq, too? [17:51] yes. [17:51] though connected through a jabber gateway [17:51] I was reading about singularity today [17:53] sf: where? [17:53] I don't know, looking now [17:53] Have you seen the wikipedia page? [17:54] not yet. I have mostly read eli on the topic and somewhat follow the sl4 mailing list.
