| Robin_Watts | So, interesting GPL question... | 00:17.53 |
| | Suppose I write a photoshop plugin that uses MuPDF. | 00:18.19 |
| | i.e. a block of code that people can install, and when photoshop starts up it loads all the plugins, and hence gets to be able to render PDF files. | 00:19.01 |
| | If I release all the source code etc, then I'm fine to distribute that under the GNU GPL. | 00:19.41 |
| | Clearly that can't make Photoshop become GPL licensed. | 00:20.13 |
| | But if we heard that Adobe were using MuPDF in a Photoshop plugin, we'd say "ah, that's dynamic linking" and go after them, right? | 00:20.47 |
| ray_laptop | $149 (plus tax) for a 4Tb external backup drive. Not bad. | 01:20.01 |
| Robin_Watts | ray_laptop: Hitachi DX3 Touro ? | 01:20.54 |
| | I just ordered one. | 01:20.59 |
| | Of course it was 138 UKP inc tax here. | 01:21.12 |
| | I plan to take the drive out and use it as an internal one. | 01:21.23 |
| ray_laptop | Robin_Watts: no - Seagate "Backup Plus" | 01:21.28 |
| | I saw 2 and 3 Tb external drives for the same price | 01:22.13 |
| Robin_Watts | yeah. | 01:22.19 |
| | buying this as an external drive is 30 quid cheaper than buying a bare 4TB drive. It's bonkers. | 01:22.42 |
| ray_laptop | Robin_Watts: that is bizarre. Is it sata 3 internally ? | 01:25.00 |
| | of course, even IDE would be OK for a backup drive | 01:25.33 |
| | The push to Sata over IDE is mostly hype. For a RAID array box, or an SSD IDE is too slow, but the data rate from most HDD's is still lower than IDE speeds (except from the tiny #Mb cache on the drive) | 01:29.30 |

| | paulgardiner: Hey. | 11:25.14 |
| | Try your cluster test again now. | 11:25.21 |
| paulgardiner | hi | 11:25.23 |
| ghostbot | what's up, paulgardiner | 11:25.23 |
| Robin_Watts | I'm not convinced that's ever worked. | 11:25.30 |
| paulgardiner | You mean "git cluster mujstest"? | 11:25.55 |
| Robin_Watts | yeah. | 11:26.00 |
| paulgardiner | But I don't know what else I can have been doing before. I can't remember ever being aware of another way to do it. | 11:26.30 |
| | I think I also used to do git cluster mujstest bmpcmp | 11:26.58 |
| Robin_Watts | That should work now too. | 11:41.20 |
| paulgardiner | Robin_Watts: the good news is that it does work... the bad news is that there are 8 commits on paulg/master :-) Each one only small though | 12:34.40 |
| Robin_Watts | paulgardiner: OK. Just a mo. | 12:34.53 |
| paulgardiner | no hurry | 12:35.08 |
| Robin_Watts | nightmares with CSS stylings. | 13:00.17 |
| | I've got proper superscript/subscript recognition working. | 13:00.33 |
| | That makes Grahames thesis look MUCH nicer. | 13:00.47 |
| | but I spotted that that has slightly more white space between full stops and the end of sentences than my code was liking. | 13:01.19 |
| | So I upped the amount of whitespace we accept (which actually made the code more consistent). | 13:01.40 |
| | But that breaks the nice recognition of bulletted lists that I had going on. | 13:01.59 |
| | So I've coded some hanging indent recognition. | 13:02.24 |
| | And the recognition side of it works perfectly. | 13:02.39 |
| | But producing HTML that renders right is hard, cos spans don't respect text-indent, cos they are inline. I need a block element. | 13:03.03 |
| | which means, I suspect I need to move away from using tables. | 13:03.12 |
| | which is probably a good thing all in all, but... | 13:03.22 |
| | Bah. floating spans aren't constrained within div's | 14:13.54 |
| henrys | chrisl:did you get the sourceforge message, you're on the list but with domain users.sf.net | 15:56.03 |
| | ? | 15:56.07 |
| chrisl | henrys: no, I didn't get a message from sf | 15:56.36 |
| henrys | I'll forward it. | 15:58.27 |
| | maybe it's time to leave sf | 16:00.12 |
| chrisl | henrys: okay, I'll handle it - and I'll try to fathom why the mail wasn't forwarded, I think it should have been..... | 16:00.35 |
| henrys | also I notice the front page points to svn.ghostscript.com not git | 16:01.00 |
| chrisl | henrys: actually, I was wondering whether we should ditch sf and google code - since we don't actually host any source there, only "downloads" | 16:01.39 |
| henrys | that would be my vote but best to check with the others | 16:02.17 |
| chrisl | I was going to suggest we talk about it at the staff meeting | 16:02.34 |
| henrys | okay I'll add it. | 16:02.51 |
| ray_laptop | henrys: ISTR that Norbert was using embedded Windows. Does this sound right to you ? | 18:52.09 |
| | I'm searching email for that now ... | 18:53.17 |
| Robin_Watts | ray_laptop: Certainly someone was using Embedded XP before. | 18:58.38 |
| | I think the answer to the question before was the we couldn't care less if it's embedded XP or not, it doesn't affect us. | 18:59.01 |
| henrys | ray_laptop:correct | 19:21.55 |
| | sorry I was at lunch | 19:22.20 |
| rooligan | Hi again :) You can ping me, when the website is ready to be translated ;) | 20:18.56 |
| henrys | GS_THREADSAFE is worded as if it is experimental http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/current/API.htm#new_instance, ray_laptop, Robin_Watts how much testing have we done with this before I spin some wild story in the newsletter. | 21:20.14 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2013/02/23)>>> | |
