[09:35] bleh. [09:36] hi [09:37] how's it going zyph? [09:53] good, Im currently working on a project in c++ [09:53] what about you bvowk? [09:54] I'm currently working on a GIS project [09:55] wow [09:55] sounds abit hard though [09:55] compared to what I'm doing [10:01] not really.. it's mostly just a matter of understanding the jargon [10:05] ok :) [10:08] it's a little strange, because I don't speak the native language the people here really work in.. [10:08] so they don't always have the same words for things that I'd expect. [10:08] ok, that might be a problem :/ [10:09] it's alright [10:12] what language are they using? [10:13] they're finns [10:13] so it's finnish or swedish [10:13] oh, I see [10:13] Im from Sweden but there is no way I could understand Finnish [10:14] given what I've learned about the structure of innish.. [10:14] I'm pretty sure you have to be brought up with it.. [10:14] Well I'm from the most southern part of Sweden, do Danish is easier and more related to me actually [10:15] so you're from sweden? [10:15] yes [10:15] I'm from Canada [10:15] in Finland for a 6 month contract [10:16] that sounds intresting [10:16] not nearly as interesting as you'd expect actually ;) [10:16] its a long way from home though [10:16] there's no sun in helsinki between november and february AFAICS. [10:16] Yeah, a long way from home, and I haven't been back since Nov. [10:18] but [10:18] isnt the climate pretty similar in both Finland and Canada ? [10:19] When I hear Canada I just think of snow and bears xD [10:21] well, it was much warmer here than back home, because back home I'm 700km south and inland instead of on the sea [10:21] but much much darker. [10:21] there's no clouds in the sky in the winter back home most times.. [10:21] it's usually cold blue sky [10:21] okey [10:23] back home is was -35C for a few weeks, and it never dropped below -10C here [10:23] it was barely below 0C all winter [10:23] that's cold [10:23] -35 [10:23] but dark, thick dark clouds, and the sun rose and set while I was at work [10:23] Do ppl even go out then+ [10:23] ?* [10:24] in -35C? yeah.. you can be out in that all day if you dress for it [10:24] true that [10:24] just have to watch for wind on exposed skin [10:24] there is no bad weather, only bad clothing [10:24] well.. that's still pretty bad. [10:24] when it's that cold it burns your throat and nose when you breathe [10:24] but it won't kill you ;) [10:25] (at least not right away) [10:25] :p [10:25] true [10:26] when I was in dublin I told a cabbie about how cold it got back home and he was so shocked he just about ran us into a parked car. [10:26] omg [10:26] he was like "YOU'D DIE!!" [10:26] haha [10:26] I wonder what he said to his boss after that [10:27] he didn't hit the car.. but almost.. [10:27] oh lucky [10:27] funny tho.. [10:28] he was complaining about how cold it was in Ireland in the winter.. [10:29] so what are you working on in C++? [10:29] its actually a schoolprojekt [10:29] -35*c that's as zyph would say a perfect day for shorts [10:30] im doing a runner simulator in .net with a gui [10:30] trifler, for maybe oh.. 15 seconds or so :) [10:31] sign up, delete runners, simulate lap, show results, save, open etc [10:31] basic things [10:31] zyph: Don't be so modest it sounds hard [10:31] not comparing to what bvowk is doing :p [10:31] heh [10:32] I'm currently trying to fit 30GB of data into 16GB of cache memory :( [10:32] bvowk: Compress it with md5. You will save loads of space. [10:33] xD [10:33] mr funny [10:33] I've found it's hard to render the MD5 tho [10:35] (little too lossy! ;) [10:37] :p [10:46] so is anyone playing corears? [10:46] I'm running evolvers right now.. so I'm likely way ahead of the rest of you slackasses. [10:49] im not playing right now. still in my learning phase [10:52] I actually couldn't program much of anything in redcode [10:52] I've avoided it to keep from tainting the evolvers [10:52] (or maybe I'm just lazy) [11:04] im going out for a walk [11:04] be back later [12:06] * bvowk wonders [12:19] back [12:40] hrm.
