  take a look:09:40.54 
  http://www.globalgraphics.com/news/2013/08/08/second-quarter-2013-results/09:40.54 
chrisl Eek! Not too clever :-(09:41.46 
kens Nope, I'd wondered why the share price had dropped 10%....09:42.02 
chrisl_r61 kens: ping14:06.31 
kens pong14:06.48 
chrisl_r61 Did you want the new pdfwrite colour stuff mentioned in the "highlights", or not?14:07.20 
kens chrisl : definitely not!14:07.34 
  Its by no means finished and there are some weird problems14:07.50 
chrisl_r61 Okay, I didn't know if you wanted it mentioned as being an alpha or beta level feature14:08.28 
kens ASlso, in light of the mail exchange I've beenhaving with Andrew Aldridge, I need to speak to Michael some more :-)14:08.42 
chrisl_r61 kens: oh, right, I guess that hasn't gone to support, then14:09.19 
kens chrisl : yes and no, some has been to support, but he kept dropping support off, so I gave up. The most recent stuff hasn't14:09.46 
chrisl_r61 kens: Okay, I just thought I'd check - thanks14:11.36 
kens No problem14:11.59 
henrys chrisl_r61 last I checked MuPDF third party was a broken link.16:33.40 
  oh chris left, maybe for does that anyway.16:53.44 
  s/for/tor16:54.29 
  marcosw: what's noisy in these xeon boxes - like to get one if I can quiet it down. If it is just the fan it can be fixed pretty easily from what I've read.16:55.39 
chrisl henrys: what mupdf thirdparty link?18:01.22 
henrys http://mupdf.com/doc/18:02.19 
  5th line on page18:02.48 
chrisl henrys: right, that was tor that did that - I don't (or didn't) have access to the mupdf site18:03.07 
henrys chrisl: okay18:03.48 
chrisl henrys: the mupdf.com site is still be hosted in Tor's user area on casper, not in the "central" /var/www directory18:04.37 
henrys chrisl:you have root no?18:05.06 
chrisl henrys: I do, but I don't think it "proper" to use to go poking around in other user's files.....18:05.44 
  I suppose for this it would be arguably okay18:06.11 
henrys chrisl: UK'ers are so polite ;-) yeah we'll talk to him when he's about and get it squared away.18:06.51 
chrisl henrys: I think it stems more from my using Unix from an early-ish age: superuser access is a privalege, do NOT abuse it!18:08.01 
henrys no I completely agree I was being sarcastic18:08.51 
chrisl Sure, but I'm serious about that - I had it drummed into me a lot during my formative computing years18:10.01 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: well, the change that "fixes" cust 532's file breaks other files :-(18:10.02 
henrys ray_laptop:that sucks18:11.34 
  ray_laptop:I think I fielded everthing from 801 but if I miss something let me know. I haven't been carefully reading all their mail.18:12.08 
ray_laptop henrys: OK, I'll double check their emails (and your responses)18:13.59 
  henrys: but I guess we are waiting on them for the Blue layer, right ?18:14.25 
henrys no there was email today about that. I am more concerned with old PCL stuff I might have missed. I'm on top of the current correspondence.18:15.31 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: dang18:18.56 
ray_laptop I'm looking for one of the failures that is simple. I may just have to "simplify" one of the hairy ones18:25.57 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: any of the FTS files fail? Those are usually easy to take apart18:34.29 
  and simple to start with18:34.34 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: sorry, i've been "dug in"19:35.54 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: no problem.19:36.45 
  lunch time bbiab19:39.06 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: One of the simpler ones is tests_private/pdf/sumatra/inefficient_tiling.pdf ALL of the Pattern painting. I've simplified it to a single instance19:41.03 
  Oh crap! That "simple" file, even though it is painting a single image is one of the cairo files. It creates 30 sets of .raw dump images :-(19:53.39 
  and another one is even worse. to make a simple shaded rectangle image is has 44 .raw stages :-(20:09.43 
  there _has_ to be one of these that is not from cairo !20:10.11

Lojdl Hello, I'm participating in development of Octave. As part of my project I use GhostScript. And I have a problem converting eps -> bmp (32bit or 24bit). If I have to describe it, it seems that when there are more then one channel changing his state BMP file is corrupted. Do you encountered this and is this maybe a bug fixed from 9.06 (I'm using it)?20:23.05 
ray_laptop that's better. Got one that screws up with "only" 10 stages of .raw buffers20:50.21 
  Lojdl: you'd have to post a file (bugs.ghostscript.com) and the command line you use. Also you can pull the 9.08 release candidate and try it (or the git head that you have to build)20:52.23 
  Oh oh. This one ONLY fails in clist mode :-(21:02.16 
  and NOT when I use the clist as a single band21:05.40 
  time for lunch21:05.45 
marcosw_ henrys: the fans are the loud part of the poweredge servers. if you google poweredge loud you can see what people have tried. btw, the general consensus is that the noise insulating racks only help a bit. also there can be more done to quiet a 2U box rather than 1U box, since the small fans in a 1U box have to run fast to move air. 21:43.46
