00:00:00 --- log: started forth/03.08.31 00:00:09 It was actually useful back then. 00:00:15 kc, no, there were a few 'C++' to C preprocessors too 00:00:24 ie, after it was standardized 00:00:36 they weren't much good tho, and generally failed in the market to 'real' C++s 00:00:40 You misunderstand me. 00:00:55 sun's original C++ was a pre-processor too, and it sucked :) 00:01:00 but then, so did acc :) 00:01:49 Anyway, oo2c is based on the OP2 compiler system, from the Oberon systems that came before. It is possible to re-implement the "back-end" to emit raw machine language or assembly language if you wanted. Nobody has yet bothered, though it was a stated interest back a few years ago. 00:01:56 sun's original C++ also was another example of why case-sensitivity filesystems are evil :P 00:02:19 * kc5tja prefers case-preserving filesystems over case-sensitive filesystems. 00:02:23 Like AmigaOS. 00:02:24 one of our labs' terminals could only generate orginal uppercase ascii 00:02:32 and having to type \C\C was just a pain in the ass 00:02:45 trigraphs!@! 00:02:50 kc, yeah, i'd agree, preserve the case, but don't rely on it 00:03:44 Crap. I need to get to bed. It's midnight here. 00:03:47 uuter, not a trigraph, its just, to get a cap in unix when you login on a upper-case only terminal, you have to \ the characters, which of course, also means you have to \\ to get a escape *sigh* 00:04:21 night all. 00:04:29 using samba via an upper-case only terminal becomes an experience in typing \ a lot :P 00:04:30 night kc 00:04:54 bye 00:05:06 --- quit: kc5tja ("\T\H\X \Q\S\O \E\S 73 \D\E \K\C\5\T\J\A/6 \C\L \E\S \Q\R\T \A\R \S\K :-)") 00:05:33 suzanne, are you in school? 00:05:37 nope 00:05:49 do you teach it? :) 00:05:53 where do you find such terms these days? 00:05:54 nope :P 00:05:54 heh 00:06:01 uuter, these days? hopefully nowhere 00:06:07 uuter, i'm talking about 10 years ago :P 00:06:29 samba has existed that long? 00:06:32 crusty old wyse and televideo stuff that was utterly useless 00:06:45 uuter, no, but i've used samba on a linux box with a broken caps lock key :P 00:06:51 hehe 00:06:56 oh 00:07:24 well, the key was probably fine, the uC was seriously confused, most likely 00:07:43 it would do the 'flash all 3 leds' at boot, then stay in caps lock for the rest of time :/ 00:08:42 anyway, IMO, making the C++ compiler 'CC' was incredibly stupid on sun's part 00:09:21 and that WAS on the crusty old terminals 10 years ago... :) 00:09:42 thats some lame naming 00:09:45 the compilers sun provided consisted of: cc = k&r, acc = ansi c, CC = C++ 00:09:45 cppc 00:10:11 Suzanne_, hi 00:10:13 uhg 00:10:20 hi sdo 00:10:46 uuter, it wouldn't have been so bad, except acc was VERY broken, and you couldn't really rely on it compiling much 00:11:11 this was in school 00:11:12 ? 00:11:21 yeah, 1991-1993ish 00:11:37 we didn't have unix the first year, had PrimeOS boxes 00:11:44 now THERE is an evil OS ;) 00:11:45 at least it was not windows 00:11:57 PrimeOS ? 00:11:59 uuter, trust me, windows 3.0 was better than PrimeOS :P 00:12:04 hehe 00:12:10 CP/M ripoff? 00:12:14 used to find a lot of PrimeOS boxes on x.25 nets 00:12:19 on datapac and telenet 00:12:20 no, Prime was a minicomputer vendor in the 80s 00:12:40 sounds dreadfull 00:12:44 it was a really awful OS, they took the worst features of VMS *and* UNIX, and threw away all the good features from both 00:12:53 the architecture was evil too 00:13:06 original MPU? 00:13:20 the basic premise of a Prime box, was that it took its CPU and divided it into virtual 6502s for each user 00:13:36 oh man 00:13:58 so you're sat using a machine that cost oh, $250,000 say, and its giving you one fucking GPR :P 00:14:07 heh 00:14:21 A X Y for life~ 00:14:22 they had ONE redeeming feature in hardware 00:14:38 a little red button on the inside of the case, and it's corresponding LED on the back panel 00:14:47 the 'decomission' button 00:15:04 press it for X seconds, it burns out a bunch of fuse maps inside the CPU and renders the machine useless 00:15:11 haahh 00:15:17 military? 00:15:22 banks? 00:15:27 after that, all the machine does, is light up the 'DECOMISSIONED' LED on the back panel 00:15:50 uuter, i have no idea of the point, really, if you found one in a landfill, the components would likely be worth more :) 00:16:03 its not like it destroys data reliably or anything like that 00:16:20 For the banks branch in Iran 00:16:48 its probably one of those features the military insisted on without thinking 00:17:02 yeah 00:17:10 commie proofing 00:17:24 yeah, but the data is still on the HDD if you decomission it 00:17:34 that is amazing, they had a self destruct button inside the box. 00:17:42 well, they can't use it against you 00:17:47 I have never heard of such a thing. 00:17:55 some video game systems have that 00:18:05 and embedded MPUs used in ATM- 00:18:06 s 00:18:18 there is a 'destruct' opcoe 00:18:20 opcode 00:19:04 http://homepage.mac.com/trash80/dp/prime.html 00:19:31 yeah, we had 5370s iirc 00:21:49 the point is tho, the standard military practice to 'decomission' a machine in a risky environment, is a thermite pack :) 00:22:56 that is about right. Even the hardware coming out of the Northern NM labs is mostly stripped and HDs are multi-technique'd destroyed. 00:23:28 sdo, there's not much you can do with a machine that has been thermited :) 00:23:29 (nails, rolling under destructo-flatrollers, ground and so forth, they have crushers/shredders for it now) 00:24:08 Suzanne_ that is not much you can do with anything that is thermited :) including ID the guy that did it. 00:24:11 hehehe 00:24:21 heh 00:25:05 Just discovered the IRC client named Vision for BeOS, what a killer client! 00:25:34 is it new? 00:25:39 or x86 only? 00:25:50 i can't remeber it 00:25:59 Felix is what I used until this afternoon. 00:26:05 It was too damn buggy and 4+ years old. 00:26:13 * Suzanne_ lols 00:26:22 Vision is newer, the folks that brought you Baxter are the folks with Vision. 00:26:24 the 5370 managed 8 VAX MIPS allegedly 00:26:32 Suzanne_, no laughing at my BeOS! 00:26:46 baxter, thats what i had 00:26:47 no, we can't have had 5370s 00:26:54 we had ours before 1992 00:27:34 uuter, baxter was pretty good, but the GUI for Vision (once you figure out the multipanel configuration process, that screwed me a while back to use Felix instead) is amazing. 00:27:46 Really sweet, simple and FAST, nice and easy to work with, very pleasant. 00:28:22 uuter, how long ago did you start, and then when did you stop using BeOS. 00:28:47 I have ported a bunch of FORTH's to BeOS, just curious... http://beforth.dyndns.org 00:29:21 damn, that page isn't up to date on the ports, I'll have to spend some time rummaging thru and finding what works now that i have redone some of them. 00:29:35 I had 5 Pro on a PPC for a few months 00:29:44 It was cool 00:29:58 Yes, it is cool, and PPC is nice. I have a bunch of BeOS machines here. 00:30:03 but, i only have two PPC machines, so BeOS lost out to NetBSD 00:30:07 LOL 00:30:12 I have 2 beboxen. 00:30:17 wow!@ 00:30:19 bunch of single processor Macs/PPC 00:30:22 i'd dig one of those 00:30:31 One is serial #00006 00:30:38 :) I got it early on in 1996 00:30:42 heh, Be cleance? 00:30:46 Nope. 00:30:56 I got both machines cause I was into be early on. 00:31:04 heard about it running on a quad 604 DayStar? 00:31:16 I heard and saw it in 1995 Dec I believe, and then bought/paid in spring of 96 00:31:19 Yes 00:31:20 it does 00:31:21 4*200 Mhz 00:31:26 do you have a quad daystar. 00:31:30 no 00:31:32 I have a quad PPro. 00:31:37 iBook and a 6400 00:31:41 ah. 00:31:46 I have a bunch of 6400's around. 00:31:48 No ibooks though. 00:31:52 but i DO have a Lisa~ 00:31:56 Nice! 00:32:01 I had one in 1983 00:32:05 do you live in California? 00:32:09 Nope. 00:32:14 I used to live in Seattle. 00:32:20 Worked for Apple back then. 00:32:28 we are not really awash with hardware here 00:32:34 oh yeah? 00:32:38 in what department? 00:32:42 Yep, for the Bellevue office. 00:32:54 For the entire NW, and then I went to work for the COmputer Stores NW 00:33:06 not development? 00:33:08 THey offered me as a service tech a Lisa for I believe 6300 bucks. 00:33:27 Nope, got it cause I wanted it, and then also cause it would help me learn to use/service it. 00:33:34 I actually have an internal Forth for the Apple /// from Apple 00:33:41 Anyway, I sold it about 1 month before they dropped their price to 4999 00:33:50 luck you 00:33:51 Nice, I would like to get a copy of it. 00:33:54 +y 00:33:58 Yes, I was very lucky. 00:34:05 i will have to see if i can find it 00:34:16 That would be great, I collect all things Apple ][ and /// 00:34:25 I have a HUGE warehouse full of Apple ][ stuff. 00:34:25 I have a /// as well 00:34:31 I do also, I have 2 of them. 00:34:32 well, think i'll head to bed, its 3:35 already 00:34:34 One for parts, one works. 00:34:37 later Suzanne_ 00:34:39 --- quit: Suzanne_ ("Client exiting") 00:34:40 I have a bunch of prototype IIc's 00:34:51 I have about 10-15 //c+ and a bunch of //cs 00:34:59 I would like to swap you for a proto //c if you don't mind. 00:35:07 You want a //c+ 00:35:07 i went down to the states to visit a former Apple II programmer, got his stash 00:35:20 how early on are the //c protos? 00:35:29 have you done much research on them? 00:35:32 how many do you have? 00:35:39 the cases are machined it appears 00:35:47 milled? hmmmmmmmmm 00:35:51 hand made then basically 00:35:59 there was a stick talking about a special Apple manufacturing facility 00:36:03 sticker 00:36:16 wow, that sounds kinda prototype. 00:36:21 that is cool. 00:36:38 I have thousands of floppies, and I also manage the CallAPPLE BBS, AppleCRATE 00:36:39 yeah, the dvorak/qwerty swich has 'language' penciled in on one 00:36:42 www.callapple.org 00:37:13 check out the BBS, I'm on there every day, it is low traffic, but fun. 00:37:29 I check in about 1-2 times a day for a few minutes. 00:37:43 cool 00:37:54 CallAPPLE was the largest user group in the world for many years for Apple. 00:37:56 i have not done much retro action of late 00:38:00 yeah 00:38:25 i have actuall print-outs of a AUG with Woz listed as a member 00:38:25 I lived in Seattle, so going to Kent WA and the techline support center was a highlite on the weekends. 00:38:30 his address/number 00:38:41 I also helped start the largest BBS in the NW for apple, PPS, Pirates of Puget Sound :) 00:38:54 hmm~ warez group? 00:38:56 We used to have the largest software pirate/porno parties with beer and all that jazz. 00:39:02 Yep, we were seriously into warez back then. 00:39:03 HAH~ 00:39:07 oh man 00:39:10 24-48 hours of it at a time, non stop. 00:39:19 the 80s was the real shit 00:39:22 Pirates Harbor was the only other US based BBS at the time that was larger. 00:39:33 It was a LOT of fun, that is for sure. 00:39:53 Some of the greetz/cracked by splash screens are rad 00:39:55 We had callers from around the world. 00:40:05 Yah, I remember many of them. 00:40:20 i have even seen a KKK/Nazi gourp, strange mix 00:40:27 Rich got busted for phreaking in the 83 time frame, and went to work as restitution to the phone company, for all places, ATT. 00:40:49 LOL, his duties were to teach them all he knew. 00:41:07 LOL I found that ironic, and put a cap on our activities and started the decline of the group. 00:41:24 (remember, this is NOT CallAPPLE I'm talking about, PPS has NOTHING to do with CallAPPLE, nothing :) 00:41:36 At all, I don't want anyone to think the two are even remotely related, they are not. 00:43:07 uuter, where are you located?

11:21:06 like the DIMM sockets for VRAM 11:21:28 i have no idea, its beyond me as to determining what/where it came from - i bought it used so don't have its pedigree :/ 11:21:57 it also seems to have a spare expansion slot beyond the NuBUS and PDS slots 11:23:25 the back of the case says 'Quadra 900' but the board definitely is running at 33MHz 11:23:32 so clearly its not 'stock' whatever it is 11:23:39 hmm 11:24:05 i think there was some sort of strange Q900 machine 11:24:09 at first i suspected it was a 950 logicboard in a 900 case, some kind of upgrade, but as i said, various things don't 'match' 11:24:33 a 900/950 should have SIMMs for VRAM, this has a single DIMM 11:25:17 it has the dual SCSI bus of a WGS, but still it doesn't match the WGS board layout 11:26:18 its a mifftery 11:27:12 indeed 11:27:22 AppleFritter may have some info 11:28:38 not sure where to look on their 11:28:41 there, even 11:29:15 they have an IRC channel 11:31:52 * arke is back (gone 02:54:14) 11:40:26 Suzanne: what would you do with a g3 cluster?

11:54:23 i remember disk drives with firmware, modified for apple 11:54:51 probably modified enough so you can't replace it with OEM parts 11:54:53 speuler, usually, its just generic IDE stuff these days 11:55:27 even going back to 68k days, there were 'special firmwares' but *most* HDDs and CDROMs would 'just work', only a few would not, for some reason 11:55:46 would be nice. just back from a party, where i scored a powermac 11:55:48 w/o disk and cdrom 11:56:06 now, various CDRWs won't 'boot off CD' on G3s and some early G4s, but that seems to be to do with the way the CDRW doesn't directly ID as a CD-ROM first 11:56:28 speuler, how old is it ? 11:56:39 good question 11:56:53 apple switched to IDE for CD around the introduction of the powermac, so that should be ok, but they still used SCSI for HDDs up until around the 9600 11:57:13 the biege G3 has 2 IDE channels, and you can use either SCSI or IDE HDDs, as i remember it 11:57:27 march 97 11:57:36 hmm, what model ? 11:57:46 you're probably going to need a SCSI HDD for it 11:58:26 and you'll need to take into consideration that prior to the B&W G3s, you need the boot partition to be less than 4GB 11:58:32 scsi would be ok. ah, here it says : performa 6400 11:58:39 ah, urgh :) 11:58:49 the performas were generally considered 'not very good macs' 11:59:00 is SCSI more expensive due solely to patents and licensing fees? 11:59:07 they work, just they often had crappy FSBs and stuff 11:59:18 fridge, SCSI is more expensive simply because it can be 11:59:23 still got some scsi stuff on the shelf 11:59:30 the market accepts higher costs on SCSI, so the companies charge it 11:59:57 hoped to be able to put linux on 12:00:07 ahh 12:00:18 the performa 6400 used an IDE HDD (part of the 'low cost' aspect) 12:01:14 you might want to check on www.xlr8yourmac.com for compatibility, but you should be 'ok' with most modern (less than 128GB) drives 12:01:46 as i'll reuse spare parts, there's no >100 gbyte among those 12:02:02 *nod* 12:02:10 20 or 30 i should still have a few 12:02:17 should do 12:02:37 as i said, just make sure the boot partition is first on the disk, and less than 4GB in size 12:03:12 those machines take standard floppy drives too ? 12:03:18 no :/ 12:03:20 in case booting from cdrom fails 12:03:31 apple use some weird floppy interface 12:03:47 but finding replacements isn't impossible 12:03:50 dhcp/tfpt in bios ? 12:03:55 tftp 12:04:08 speuler, i'm not sure about the performa on that count, tbh 12:04:24 i know my biege G3 can boot from the net from OF 12:06:00 does it even have ethernet tho ? 12:06:17 the 6400 is listed as 'standard ethernet: NONE' 12:06:56 (though i know everymac has gotten that wrong on other performa models friends have bought, so i wouldn't take it as gospel :) 12:07:59 it doesn't have an ethernet connector but there's a load of cards in the cardboard box 12:08:14 the 6400 has only one IDE channel 12:08:24 w/o network, that machine would be pretty useless 12:08:46 1 disk, 1 cdrom would be fine 12:08:51 i have a cheap PC NIC in mine, running NetBSD 12:09:43 would be the 4th cpu with linux here 12:10:15 make it 3, as one only runs linux to show that it can run it 12:11:17 uuter, yeah, adding net is fine, but i dunno if you're gonna be able to boot from net on a generic nic, i doubt it 12:11:46 but then, i dunno if the performas use OF or not, so i don't know if even finding a PCI NIC with OF driver code would help 12:12:21 boot roms for powerpc, to plug into an off-the-shelf nic maybe be more difficult to come by 12:12:34 speuler, indeed 12:13:15 can you write device drivers in OF? =) 12:14:09 fridge, yes 12:14:39 any PCI NIC sold for use on a sun would probably contain the bytecode for OF 12:14:46 yes, all PMacs use OF 12:15:14 PeeCee PCI cards don't have the F-Code drivers in ROM 12:15:25 uuter, i know... 12:15:27 so it can't add it to the device tree 12:15:40 * arke is away: brb r00ting stuff 12:15:40 uuter, you can get a asante 10/100baseT card for $25 tho 12:15:45 and i would imagine it has F-code in rom 12:15:47 i have one 12:15:56 but NetBSD does not work with it 12:15:59 --- quit: arke (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 12:16:28 how about linux tho ?

15:52:33 some sort of pawn shop? 15:52:50 Hehe. 15:52:51 It's an all-natural, all-organic, all-healthy type of supermarket. 15:53:16 And the prices are dirt cheap as marked. Let alone my apparent inability to do the simplest arithmetic. 15:53:30 ah, thats cool 15:53:45 discovering the local shops in San Diego? 15:54:06 uuter: Trader joe's is a chain store; not local. But they stock a lot of local stuff. 15:54:20 90% of the goods they carry are produced in California -- some of it right here in La Jolla. :) 15:54:48 i think 90% or most agro-products are produced in California :) 15:54:56 * kc5tja is going to see about applying for a job there this coming Wednesday. 15:55:15 uuter: Not really; NY produces a lloott of dairy stuff. 15:55:27 uuter: Here's the deal though: 15:55:28 not to forget wisconsin 15:55:45 Most of CA's produce gets shipped to Florida, and most of Florida's produce gets shipped here to CA. 15:55:53 hmm 15:55:54 Why? Because it increases the prices, and hence, profits. 15:56:00 YAY FOR PROFIT 15:56:14 there is alot of Californian stuff up here 15:56:41 especially durring winter 15:57:25 Where is 'here' exactly? 15:57:46 ~52 deg North 15:57:57 uuter: You live in Maine? 15:58:08 Or Canada? 15:58:13 yes 15:58:22 main rides up past the 49th? 15:58:26 Maine 15:58:38 i guess so 15:59:24 I don't know. I know my former home in Utica NY was at 43N, but I also knew that Maine was north of even Vermont, which was definitely north of where I used to live. :) 16:00:37 i don't think Maine actually passes the 49th 16:00:55 it certainly rises up 16:00:59 Like I said, I don't know for sure. 16:01:28 * kc5tja doesn't even know where all 50 states of the USA are located without a globe or map, so asking me for directions or where things are is a bad, bad, bad idea. 16:01:36 so did you get good radio refraction off the thermosphere ? 16:01:48 Thermosphere? Never heard that term before. 16:02:01 Most radio reflections occur at the ionosphere. 16:02:23 yeah, Thermosphere exists however 16:02:29 i forget the order 16:02:37 * kc5tja just never heard the term. 16:02:44 I'm sure it exists, but it's not in any of my textx. 16:02:46 troposphere, thermopsphere.. 16:02:46 texts even 16:03:14 2m band and higher (frequencies) are particularly prone to tropospheric ducting. 16:03:16 i learnt it in aviation ground school 16:03:37 low frequencies travel best yes? 16:03:55 Well, practically, yes. Physically, no. 16:04:07 There's no difference in how a 2m vs. 20m signal travels. 16:04:27 It's just that the smaller the wavelength of the radio signal, the more it can be affected by objects of that size or larger. 16:04:32 no, but 20m is not as easily disturbed? 16:04:56 20m is fairly easily disturbed, but it does have a longer range. 16:04:57 submarines use extremely low fleq, like 2km i heard 16:05:13 uuter: Mostly because water doesn't propegate radio. 16:05:13 trailing antenna behind 16:05:54 get any done on FS/Forth? 16:06:02 No, I've not had much time. 16:06:10 * kc5tja is still getting all my ducks in a row here. 16:06:39 ah 16:06:42 * kc5tja hasn't even set up his ham radio yet. :) 16:07:01 a high priority i assume 16:07:22 Moderately. 16:07:39 It can get boring here when nobody else is home and you're just too lazy to do other things. 16:08:01 * kc5tja needs to restring his guitar though. I agreed to play with a guitar training course for someone, and I need to start on that. 16:08:55 Right now, I'm h4x0ring my resume for a potential employer. 16:09:02 cool 16:09:06 Yeah. :) 16:09:10 programming related? 16:09:13 I haven't had one of those in a long, long time. 16:09:14 Yup. 16:09:23 I can't say more about it at the moment though. 16:09:55 you are fortunate there are so many high-tech employers down there 16:10:26 Heh 16:10:30 Cursed is more like it. 16:10:46 how is that? 16:10:53 There are literally so many down here that it's a seller's market. 16:10:55 labour pool? 16:11:17 Yeah. The technology industry still hasn't recovered, and the number of unemployed technical workers here is through the roof. 16:11:43 That's one reason why I'd like to NOT persue Falvo Technical Solutions in any serious endeavor, because it's such an impacted field, that it's almost a lost cause from the beginning. 16:12:31 well, is Forth not a niche market, even there? 16:14:25 i mean alot of those unemployed people must be the usuall C++ app/e-business types 16:15:54 Forth is unheard of here, except for fringe groups like the San Francisco FIG chapter. 16:16:30 really? 16:16:38 where is it most 'popular' ? 16:16:55 chucks house 16:17:00 heh 16:17:02 Reno? 16:23:28 That's pretty much it. 16:23:33 Just isolated pockets of interest. 16:24:03 there seem to be quite a few Nordic people here 16:24:23 and a disproportionate number of Mac users 16:24:56 kc, there are *some* forth jobs over around san mataeo (i can't spell it so...) 16:26:02 or, were, when i lived over there, the market could have dried up by now, i spose 16:27:55 Suzanne: I'm not going to commute to San Mateo to work on a highly specialized job that almost certainly won't last very long. :D 16:28:09 * kc5tja will try his luck working for Trader Joe's while I figure something else out. 16:28:13 kc, heh 16:28:24 Besides, I'm still in school, and I want to get my degree. 16:28:41 kc, commuting southwards isn't that bad, from what people i know that did it, have said 16:28:53 its the northwards/am, southwards/pm commute thats the bitch 16:29:27 there again, getting across any of the bridges is a bitch, at any time of the day, in any direction :P 16:30:08 Suzanne: The reverse is true in San Diego/Oceanside area. 16:30:19 kc, oh, is that where you are ? 16:30:28 Northward in the morning is MUCH nicer than in the evening. 16:30:29 Yes. 16:30:29 the mention of SF FIG made me think you were in NoCal 16:30:36 Nope 16:31:00 then yes, the commute to San Mateo wouldn't be pleasant :P 16:31:35 :) 16:31:41 OK, e-mailed the resume. 16:31:58 --- quit: Robert ("Sweet dreams.") 16:32:04 Next on my list of things to do is update my website. 16:32:16 kc, what you need to do, is learn some less esoteric language, like, oh, say, ML or Scheme :P 16:32:20 I feel stupid about it, but it's going to come out sooner or later anyway. 16:32:34 Suzanne: Yeah, whatever. 16:32:49 * kc5tja prefers Lisp over Scheme anyway. 16:32:56 Scheme just doesn't feel right to me at all. 16:32:58 actually, there are probably a few lisp/scheme jobs around there 16:33:06 Suzanne: I haven't found any. 16:33:14 Literally every position for hire is C or C++. 16:33:18 kc, well, sony do some scheme stuff 16:33:21 Occasionally a Java position would show up. 16:33:29 a lot of games companies prototype in scheme these days 16:34:02 * kc5tja would probably like it more if it weren't so damn heady. 16:34:05 that said, sony don't exactly hire from the market :/ 16:46:45 --- join: I440r_ (~x@sdn-ap-010txhousP0256.dialsprint.net) joined #forth 16:47:30 --- nick: I440r_ -> I440r 16:47:46 --- mode: ChanServ set +o I440r 16:50:34 hello 16:50:54 hi 16:51:27 another exciting day at job X ?

20:52:03 lol no 20:52:24 tho - some of the projects im working on are used by the military 20:52:27 and nasa 20:52:38 ohh, writing software for THE MAN 20:52:42 and anyone with a huge dish in their back yard heh 20:52:44 ah...ok :) 20:53:11 the equipment im working on aims the dishes 20:53:21 controls them, keeps them pointing at the satelite etc 20:54:12 I see...somewhat like Charles Moore did with astronomy equipments :D 20:55:00 yup 20:55:11 but this is all chipforth and stuff 20:55:31 do pfe / gforth support fork() ? 20:56:00 erm i dont know 20:56:07 i hope not :P 20:56:07 mrp 20:56:10 fork() should DIE 20:56:15 isforth does indirectly, all you have to do is create the syscall 20:56:18 well what should someone like a me do with sockets 20:56:22 fork is good 20:56:28 but it uses copy on write grr 20:56:30 i440, not if threads are around 20:56:35 threads are good too 20:56:45 if your system has threads, fork() is just inefficient and wasteful 20:56:47 isforth will support and use both fork and clone 20:57:07 Suzanne pthreads is an abomination 20:57:20 i440, pthreads isn't perfect, true 20:57:24 way too fscking complex 20:57:25 well let me rephrase.. in something like gforth, how do I spawn a bunch of subprocesses. I need to open multiple tcp connections, and if i use a program, it blocks.. 20:57:37 but at least it doesn't make an entire copy of the whole memory footprint 20:57:57 which is only made worse by people fork()'ing to run one function or a syscall 20:58:00 right - which is why isforth NEEDS to support clone 20:58:08 isforhts memory space is ALL +rwx 20:58:13 Klaw: I think one way to deal with multiple tcp connections is to use select()...I'm no network pgmmer tho' 20:58:25 yeah, you can use select 20:58:33 poll is better 20:58:41 or you can just open the socket NONBLOCK and check for -1 20:58:48 one process polling multiple connections 20:58:56 poll will block or not 20:59:08 you can also specify a timeout for it 20:59:33 poll is nice - its recommended that you use poll instead of select these days 20:59:56 theres examples of how to create pollfd's in isforth 21:00:25 i've a freebsd box 21:00:43 isforth was strongly against freebsd last I heard 21:02:47 Klaw: AFAIK the port of IsForth has not been supported on FreeBSD for a long while now 21:03:12 not against, just doesnt work in it 21:03:13 it doesn't mean IsForth is "strongly against" FreeBSD 21:03:24 i WANT it to eventually 21:03:41 Strongly against. 21:04:00 you're sending freebsd children off to lower class schools 21:04:13 just that I440r_ "solicits" some FreeBSD expert to port IsForth :) 21:05:41 im not expert enough with fbsd to port isforth 21:05:56 i thought ralph might port that?

23:01:38 oh yea 23:01:38 lol 23:01:38 *asked 23:02:48 anyone in here familiar with the ssh agent "putty 23:02:48 " 23:02:51 in windows ? 23:03:04 i need to import a key from my linux .ssh into putty and its like totally different 23:06:41 --- join: fridge (~fridge@dsl-203-33-160-96.NSW.netspace.net.au) joined #forth 23:11:32 I440r_: Why not just connect to the server, and when it asks you if you want to accept the key, do that instead? 23:12:27 you dont understand, i cannot connect to it unless the ssh client has MY private key 23:12:31 which it cannot import 23:12:48 i can only connect from my laptops linux partition 23:13:03 i want to be able to connect from within my laptops windows partition 23:13:15 using a windows ssh client 23:14:04 When I SSH to a box on a different computer, it always asks me if I want to accept a pre-generated key. 23:14:11 Is this a server setting that prevents this? 23:14:28 * kc5tja notes: different "computer" also means different partition on the same computer. 23:14:38 * kc5tja isn't speaking/writing very articulately at the moment; slightly buzzed. 23:14:49 its a formatting issue 23:15:05 the key in .ssh is NOT formatted the same as the one that putty wants 23:15:12 i cant just copy the file out and import it 23:15:29 and putty does not allow for "cut and paste key in" 23:15:30 I guess I just don't understand what your problem is. 23:15:31 which is moronic 23:15:37 * kc5tja has never had a problem SSHing to a box via putty. 23:15:57 the server will not accept ANY connections without the correct key 23:16:01 and i cannot import it 23:16:20 So it's a server configuration thing then -- I asked that, and you apparently ignored the question. :) 23:17:14 Anyway, I should probably hit the sack. 23:17:18 But it's so early. 23:17:20 aack. 23:17:28 no i sayd yes to that q 23:17:33 * kc5tja didn't see it. 23:17:38 You said it was a "formatting issue." 23:17:51 or - i intended to say yes - but migt have gotten sidetracked 23:17:52 lol 23:17:55 Hehe 23:18:39 Good lord -- who the hell is taking their shower at this god-awful time of night? 23:18:53 hah! 23:18:56 * kc5tja notes the water pipes where I live are so bloody loud. 23:19:04 * kc5tja ought to flush the toilet on him... 23:19:04 kc5tja I have made lunch many times at 2:20 am 23:19:16 heheh 23:19:34 gilbertdeb: Making food is one thing.
