[14:43] h [15:33] MSG: Quit: Leaving [15:33] Join: alexander joined #corewars [16:20] greetings humans. [16:20] Mr Miz. [16:20] again, h [16:21] it's very oddd to be in synch with your time. [16:21] sadly, I'm out of sync with HWMNBM [16:21] he's not actually on finnish time, he's got his own timezome. [16:22] i am really annoyed by the fact that spl/add/mov/jmp -type stones sock in their performance, right after i got the evoltmp-trick to work [16:22] BTW, I'm quite convinced that helsinki is more like HELL-sinki, and HEL isn't an airport code, but just a missing letter [16:22] not because its as hot, but because? [16:22] as I've not seen the sun since I arrived, but everyone emphatically tells me the sun shines.. [16:23] it's obvious that we're on the level of hell thats a frozen lake for traitors and blasphemers. [16:23] that said, the demons and I get along really well. I like their style. [16:24] sadly, I don't know if my "keep out of direct sunlight" shirt is actually funny or sad here.. [16:24] id say "functional" [16:24] possibly redundant ;) [16:25] file it under "Yeah, like *THAT*'s going to happen" [16:25] so how are you? [16:25] pretty fine [16:25] that good eh? [16:25] yeah, no worries [16:26] except cursing at redcode [16:26] * bvowk wonders if that's what it's like to talk to mizcu at this time of day ;) [16:27] evolver going better? [16:27] i decided just to ignore it [16:27] I've been wandering through kernel code looking to see what features of what ethernet chipsets are actually implemented [16:28] too much useless stuff run only for screwing up with few instructions [16:47] hrm. [17:02] hmm. I request an entity known as "Metcalf" to arrive [17:08] you can't just request.. the higher order demons need to be summoned properly.. [17:09] (anything that can copy their code off a cocktail napkin and have it make it on the hill is obviously a demon) [17:12] i think summoning a demon is slightly rude gesture [17:13] you are sitting down in a comfy chair/sofa with a brew on hand, and possible half-naked females dancing over, and suddenly you are next to pimple-faced d&d-fan (or 90's emo) [17:13] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [17:13] Hi :-) [17:14] lol [17:14] so how were the brews and broads met? [17:14] Hi Bvowk, Hi Mizcu [17:14] mizcu did it! [17:14] broads? [17:14] The Norfolk Broads? [17:16] broads = 50's slang for women [17:17] * Metcalf is puzzled! [17:17] look in the logs and all will be made clear! [17:17] Loading ff now [17:18] I think I'll have to make a bookmarklet direct to the current day's log [17:21] NOw I understand ;-) [17:21] :) [17:21] so? how was it before mizcu summonred you? [17:22] * bvowk hides the 3 dozen exsanguinated blond virgins born on a full moon under the rug.. [17:23] do you know how hard it is to find blond virgins in Finland?! [17:23] Oh, I was just looking through a new book that arrived today and felt the urge to start up the computer! [17:24] mizcu: I think I may know why you're having troubles with finding female companions at your cottage ;) [17:24] (you know, ~50% of females you see on the Hellsinki's strees have blond hair, but only about 0.1% are naturally blond..) [17:25] It's a caving book. [17:25] Before that, I was writing a routine in redcode to calculate x^n (mod CORESIZE) [17:26] Interesting as there are several different algorithms which could be used and some special cases to handle [17:28] like? [17:28] hey met.. [17:29] Naive algorithm - jmz.b 3, 2 / mov.ab #x, #1 / djn.f -1, #n [17:30] shouldnt that be add? [17:30] or mul? [17:31] This correctly handles x^0 [17:31] mov.ab EQU mul.ab [17:31] Join: OoS joined #corewars [17:31] djn.f EQU djn.b [17:32] This is pretty fast for small n [17:32] bbiab [17:33] HWMNBM and I just figured out your lds issue [17:33] For larger n, there's ltr binary / rtl binary and factoring algorithms. The binary algorithm can be recursive. [17:33] Yay! :-) [17:33] I'll be able to hack in some i/o routines then [17:34] HWMNBM says that lds makes no damn sense.. [17:34] so I told him to come in here.. [17:34] why? [17:35] I don't know. [17:35] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [17:35] In about 10 mins, I *need* to cook, then after I *need* to go to the supermarket! [17:36] To keep the gf happy ;-) [17:36] I think there might actually be a collection of HWMNBMs and they swap off on alternate days of the week.. because I swear to god he doesn't remember things we talked about the day before. [17:36] heh [17:36] alright.. [17:36] I'll fire off an email with the new code.. [17:36] oh.. you can't compile that can you? [17:36] No :-( [17:36] ok.. let me figure that out. [17:40] If HWMNBM comes here, I'll be able to ask him if he ever solved the multi-line equate problem ;-) [17:40] I have an ugly fix [17:41] Is there a better way to calculate the inverse (mod coresize) than calculating x^-1? [17:41] particularly when coresize isn't known in advance [18:00] deep silence about that [18:11] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [18:11] Join: OoS joined #corewars [18:16] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [18:21] Join: OoS joined #corewars [18:27] Join: Roy joined #corewars [18:28] Hi all [18:29] h Roy [18:29] Hi Roy :-) [18:29] No smiling, I'm very sad :( [18:31] how so? [18:31] My uncle was diagnosed cancer two years ago, he had serieus treatment and has been cancerfree now for about a year, but he just got a heartattack and is now in a coma or something :( [18:31] =/ [18:31] They where going to amputate his lifeless arm this friday, then he would be very relieved, it would also be his birthday :( [18:32] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [18:33] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [18:42] Join: OoS joined #corewars [18:45] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [18:47] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [18:49] MSG: [19:52] bvowk: http://www.greetings.fi/pages/greetingsc022.htm [20:16] MSG: Remote host closed the connection [20:29] Join: Core_new_ joined #corewars [20:43] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [20:53] Join: OoS joined #corewars [20:55] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [21:03] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [21:04] Join: OoS joined #corewars [21:41] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [22:24] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com
