Herkamire found a bug that had been in place for over 10 releases :-) 02:23:44 yup 02:24:04 and herkamire anyway 02:26:31 I'm also planning some further changes to the retroforth.org website 02:27:01 It doesn't scale up to higher resolutions (>800x600) very well 02:29:36 your site has become much more nicer and smoother lately imo 02:30:59 I agree 02:31:38 I'm still evolving the design though. On some of the forum pages, for instance, the logo at the top is shorter than the width of the table 02:31:52 I need to fix things like that 02:32:15 * crc is working on a new design - which looks & feels very close to the current one - but scales better 02:32:56 The whole thing is template driven; soon I'll be using RetroForth to generate the HTML for each page as well 02:33:55 aha good idea not often found amongst forthers.. 02:34:35 forth usability in such things *can* be improved 02:35:52 My wiki already uses RetroForth to convert the Wiki markups to HTML 02:36:21 I'll eventually remove all dependence on the PHP wrapper (used to edit the pages) 02:37:01 no serious xml svg rdf rss parser in forth eg. 02:37:53 I don't care for XML, SVG, etc very much 02:38:57 so you'll use a non-forth jabber client 02:39:31 anyone using a forth irc client? 02:40:27 I440r is writing one I think 02:40:47 * crc only uses IRC for chat 02:40:52 the first one ever, right? 02:40:57 Probably 02:42:59 i can remember arguing w/ kc5tja about wiki or no wiki 1-2 years ago 02:43:30 it was a quite critical discussion 02:45:30 I love wiki's 02:46:22 I use a standalone wiki-like tool (NoteBook) to write documentation, and wiki underlies all of my sites (except the Forum) 02:47:40 so do i, but it's just a beginning of effortless usability 02:49:11 I wrote the code underlying my sites several years ago.

I've never seen it be able to debug anything but the most obvious errors. 09:58:01 And printf() is a bad choice, generally. You want fprintf (stderr). 09:58:16 'cause a segfault won't cause printf() to flush it's buffers, unless you put a flush() after every one. 09:58:36 gdb is also hopelessly thread-stupid. 10:00:30 you can also tell stdout to be line flushed, or flushed per write 10:00:53 it's just the default that's different for stderr and stdout 10:02:49 Yah, but it's usually not worth the trouble for debugging to switch the mode. 10:03:28 sure 10:05:46 Uhm. 10:05:51 What I want to know is what possesses these idiots to write 'foo --help' to stderr, instead of stdout. They have more than 25 lines of output, it becomes a lot more trouble to pipe it through more or less. Not everyone is running screen or a xterm with scroll bars. 10:06:39 A 486 with Win95 might suck, but it's still better than a vacuum tube computer. 10:06:48 And gdb is better than nothing. 10:07:11 gdb sucks. 10:07:21 real men debug with fprintf 10:07:37 I'm a transvestite then. 10:07:47 gdb + fprintf 10:07:54 ;) 10:08:07 Or rather, converting from one to the other, but only getting half-way 10:11:14 just stay with fprintf. 10:11:14 real men don't need to debug. 10:11:14 fprintf+getchar 10:11:15 segher: real men usae forth. 10:11:15 segher: :) 10:11:41 of course. 10:17:34 Lord knows, I've *never* had a runaway stack problem... :) 10:23:53 ;) 10:30:08 --- quit: skylan (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 10:31:43 * Tomasu is back (gone 09:16:13) 10:32:42 Hi there 10:36:03 --- join: skylan (~sjh@vickesh01-4554.tbaytel.net) joined #forth 10:38:55 10:38:57 "Wait for Hurd if you want something real" --Linus 10:38:59 lo\ 10:50:23 * Tomasu is away: later 10:54:27 hm 10:54:45 if this chan wasnt logged publicly i'd have given my oppinion about the author of ciforth 10:55:19 in his reply to my request for an uptodate version of the bootable ciforth he reminds me that his hourly fee is 80 euro 10:55:51 i mean, what does he expect, me paying for this, hello :\ 11:05:23 * Tomasu is back (gone 00:15:00) 11:18:36 What a dick. 11:19:15 ahwell no matter. i'll try to get hold of the latest version in bootform and tear out the stuff myself 11:20:08 I can see nicely explaing that he might not have to work on it, or help you, or if you're a commercial enterprise that he is available for support at an hourly rate, but a shutdown like that just isn't necessary. 11:21:40 well he didnt exactly say "for 80 bucks i'll tear it out", its just like, he said that its embedded so much that it'll take a lot of time and it might be better to just get a different forth without it. and at the end he states his hourly rate and that he doesnt know for sure how much work it would be to tear out. 11:21:41 blah 11:22:07 i guess he's just dutch 11:22:14 :\ 11:22:51 :) 11:24:33 err what are you talking about ? 11:25:23 i contacted the author of ciforth, asking for a boot img for the latest ciforth version (the bootable version on his website was much older then the latest windows port of ciforth there) 11:25:45 marcel hendrix ? 11:25:46 and i asked him that if he had to assemble it, whether it was possible ot drop a few things i didnt want 11:25:48 eh 11:25:51 i cant remember if ciforth is his or not 11:25:54 --- join: SolarFire-| (SolarFire@pD954522F.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #forth 11:25:56 iforth is marcel 11:25:58 no, albert van der horst 11:26:02 aha right 11:27:02 he didnt have to go all money on me imo. its not like i gave any idea that i might be using it for profitable ends or anything. 11:27:10 well whatever 11:29:59 I just read the synopsis of ciforth. What are you trying to do to it that it doesn't do already? 11:30:26 i'm trying to tear out denotations, going to make it case insensitive, and um, there was another thing 11:30:54 after that i'm gonna try to develop a system on top of it (note, TRY :) 11:30:56 Is there a URL to what denotations are? 11:31:11 hm here's the description in the doc... 11:31:21 The name of the DENOTATION vocabulary. The associated word list contains prefix words, called denotation definitions. In ciforth all words of DENOTATION belong to the minimum search order , such that number, strings and other denotations are still available after ONLY. If found the parse pointer is moved back to immediately after the prefix, and the corresponding denotation definition executed. This word list must be used with care as a CONTEXT wor 11:31:59 (this is the description for the word DENOTATION ,but that says it pretty much all i think) 11:32:28 Hmmm. I guess I don't know why you'd use them, now. 11:32:54 i dont want forth to return something if it doesnt exist. denotations will return partial hits to words in that voc's, if the complete word isnt found in the other voc's 11:33:27 so say i have DUP, and i do ' DUUP ,the system will return the xt of D 11:33:30 rather then an error 11:33:33 or 0, or whatever 11:33:51 i think the idea behind denotations is mainly speed 11:33:58 Bleh. That should have been a compile time option. 11:34:00 or possibly a prefix-supported feature thing 11:34:38 it also has this "string" thing, which is completely not-forthish 11:34:49 i dont mind that though. 11:34:58 but "bla" is the same as S" bla" 11:36:13 perhaps i should abandon my work so far and find a different forth, with an author who might be more helpfull. i did like ciforth being developed so far though 11:40:16 heh. check this out 11:40:17 http://www.ynet.com.au/sean/map0.html 11:40:34 nice idea, not sure whether it's very userfriendly though 11:42:41 --- join: slava (~slava@CPE00096ba44261-CM000e5cdfda14.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) joined #forth 11:42:42 hi 11:43:15 --- quit: SolarFire (Connection timed out) 11:45:54 --- nick: SolarFire-| -> SolarFire 11:51:18 um, did XP forget how to execute .bat files?

I figured one day she'd have more than 5, and the fact you can't find a decent 5 disc player anymore. 14:49:03 No idea. 14:49:30 And see? I was right. She does have more than 5.

I can reproduce an exact CD. 22:49:46 My Genesis: Seconds Out, Disc 1 CD actually has *holes* in the metal film. I have no idea how they got there. :/ 22:49:51 Just a cheaply made CD I suppose. 22:49:53 Disk is cheap. Re-ripping everything for new codecs is not. 22:50:14 Huh? 22:50:18 There's a syndrome about that. Internal delamination, or rotting,or something. 22:50:28 Yeah, also known as "Laser Rot". 22:50:51 I shouldn't complain too much though -- these CDs are almost half as old as I am. 22:51:00 FLAC is lossless. If I want to switch from Ogg to MP3 to WMA, I just reencode the FLACs. Or expand the FLACs and produce a true copy of the original CD for retarded CD players, like in my car. 22:51:16 FLAC also produces humungously large files compared to oggenc. 22:51:48 ok, I'm done fiddling with outputting html. Here's the herkforth source in html form: http://herkamire.com/downloads/hf.html 22:52:03 Yes. About 50% the size of the .WAV file. And as I said, disk is cheap. The time to re-rip CDs from the disc is a helluva lot longer than doing a lossless compression, then writing a shell script to convert FLAC to MP3, et al. 22:52:29 jc: I don't keep wavs once I record them back to CD. I like my harddrive space for other things. 22:52:51 What, you need 250GB for pr0n? 22:53:10 jc: No. But I don't see the need to justify my harddrive space to you. 22:53:24 Whatever. 22:53:34 Whatever?

Note where at 22:38 you claim "rip'em with FLAC." I explained my process. I didn't disagree with you. But you insisted on pushing FLAC, like I gave a damn. Reference at 22:39.
