01:22 AM rue_shop3: man I should put that into my audio crosspoint project box
01:22 AM rue_shop3: 8x16!
01:34 AM rue_shop3: wow, a programmable chip for the 8051 that gives you all the address decoding, ram and io you need to make a system from it
01:36 AM rue_shop3: huh, one chip modem
01:38 AM rue_shop3: hahahhahahaha
01:38 AM rue_shop3: the datasheet has the WHOLE phone circuit I been looking for for years

02:45 AM Jak_o_Shadows: so my ik DOES work
02:45 AM Jak_o_Shadows: the problem was the joitn limits
02:45 AM rue_shop3: :)
02:45 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I was setting it to have impossible joint limits. Because in my code, i specified the upper limit before the lower limit

03:20 AM Jak_o_Shadows: aha, nope
04:00 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I should totally be using some kind of linked list/graph here
04:30 AM rue_shop3: part of the reason I tried to finish my upgrade is that I wanted to get SDL install finished so I could test 2d library code
06:02 AM rue_shop3: ok, ok 3am
06:02 AM rue_shop3: got most of this done
06:25 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I THINK my code is working?
06:31 AM Jak_o_Shadows: hmm. not as well as I'd like
06:42 AM rue_bed: prolly a math vs reality mismatch
06:46 AM veverak: math is always right!
06:47 AM Jak_o_Shadows: need to visualise what i'm doing
06:48 AM Jak_o_Shadows: but hey, that's why I left aht other subplot in there

12:29 PM synja: so much rain this summer...
12:29 PM synja: i can hardly work outside
01:15 PM rue_mohr_: who needs a gui?
01:15 PM alic1a: rue_mohr_: You confuse some things here.First of all you can use GetMessage without creating live windows in your thread.OTOH the OS doesn't create the message queue for the newly created thread by default. Hence - calls like PostThreadMessage to the newly created thread may fail.To enforce the creation of the message queue you need to call any function that is supposed to operate on this thread's queue from this thread.
01:15 PM rue_mohr_: the pointers, and the popups, pffff
01:15 PM alic1a: rue_mohr_: What is that?What is your real name?
01:16 PM rue_mohr_: anyone [else] awake?
01:16 PM alic1a: rue_mohr_: you wake up one morning and find that everyone in your house is still asleep and wont wake up.
01:16 PM ace4016: i woke up very late >_>
01:17 PM ace4016: a GUI for what rue?
01:19 PM rue_mohr_: anything, X wont come up
01:19 PM rue_mohr_: it takes me 3 days to configure X
07:53 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
09:13 PM Jak_o_Shadows: The point is, I drag a profile around for the endpoint, and it colours the segments where it's possible or not
10:36 PM rue_shop3: ah
10:36 PM rue_shop3: I'm still trying to get my computer back up again
10:36 PM rue_shop3: I was able to confirm my old SDL code works, on another machine
10:38 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I think i'm going to print a carriage type thing.
10:38 PM Jak_o_Shadows: The legs are moving - so now Ineed to see if it takes any weight.
11:38 PM alic1a: rue_shop3: Interesting
