| Robin_Watts | I think so. | 00:05.20 |
| | I will run some memento tests tomorrow to be sure. | 00:05.27 |
| | If they pass, are you happy for me to commit them ? | 00:05.38 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: yes. | 00:13.14 |
| | Robin_Watts: merry christmas and all that. I'm signing off for a few days, but I will be at home, so if you need me you have my number | 00:14.10 |
| Robin_Watts | tor8: For the logs: Merry Xmas to you too! | 00:22.50 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: haven't heard from Miles I thought they were going to sign yesterday | 14:27.01 |
| Robin_Watts | henrys: The last emails I got were Miles saying he'd wire the money as soon as he got a scan of the signed agreement, and them saying that they'd sort that out. | 14:44.28 |
| | That was at 5:30 and 7:41 am (my time) this morning respectively. | 14:45.08 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: oh okay I didn't get that one, anyway glad it's progressing | 14:45.58 |
| Robin_Watts | Random thought for the day... | 17:00.25 |
| | Marcos said that each one of those servers he's been buying constitutes 4 (or was it 6?) nodes on the cluster. | 17:03.39 |
| | 4 | 17:05.23 |
| | I thought ray had one too, and that's what peeved was. | 17:05.36 |
| | So how come peeved only appears as 1 node? | 17:05.43 |
| | tor8: For the logs... 1 more review on robin/master | 17:23.51 |
| funfunctor | merry all that.. lads | 17:35.38 |
| Robin_Watts | funfunctor: And to you. | 17:39.09 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: so a node per cpu? 4 quad cores == 4 nodes i.e | 17:40.00 |
| Robin_Watts | a node per board, I think. | 17:41.00 |
| | 2 CPUs on each board, each with 6 cores, each with hyperthreading. So 2x6x2x4 = 96 | 17:41.46 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: I see | 17:42.41 |
| | I'd love to get one of those if it could be liquid cooled - sans noise | 17:43.23 |
| Robin_Watts | They are only 2U, right? | 17:44.12 |
| | I don't know whether there is enough space in there to get the required water cooled blocks in. | 17:45.19 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: Miles is getting way ahead of himself, I guess he is very excited. Anyway he's asked me who should own this stuff and my answer is paul unless you feel strongly about being the owner - obviously paul won't be the only person working with it. | 18:11.50 |
| Robin_Watts | henrys: I'd be perfectly happy with Paul being the owner. | 18:15.37 |
| | I guess it all depends what we want to do with it. | 18:16.11 |
| | For extracting the office reading code into a reusable form, that's a reasonable 1 man job, I think. | 18:17.03 |
| | If we want to maintain the code and keep using it as is, that will probably be more than 1 man job. | 18:17.52 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: I've sent an email to miles I don't know what he'll say: but my thinking is we get office viewing and printing working in MuPDF presumably that gives us some fluency with the code and then we plot a course after that | 18:17.57 |
| Robin_Watts | That would give us fluency with one tiny part of the code. | 18:18.16 |
| | If we want to license the code as is to other people (one off licenses, no support) then that's great. | 18:19.16 |
| | If we want to license the code and offer support on it, that's a bigger job. We'd probably be well advised to make use of Bipartate Ltd for the support. | 18:19.47 |
| | Bipartate Ltd = a company formed by the last 2 picsel technical employees to go. The idea is that they will support all the perpetual licensees. | 18:20.20 |
| | being called to weigh turkey. back in a sec. | 18:21.07 |
| | back. | 18:28.31 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: reading office, xl, powerpoint should not be "tiny" and I thought getting those pieces to work would give folks a flavor for other parts of the code, I assume it is fairly consistent... | 18:28.41 |
| Robin_Watts | They are a small portion of the codebase. | 18:29.15 |
| | And, yes, there is a picsel 'house style' for the source. | 18:29.39 |
| | but various different projects were done over the years, which have different flavours. | 18:30.25 |
| | so there is potential for just as many "WTFs!?" as there is when people look at gs source. | 18:31.00 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts:yes but I'm assuming few of those other things will be relevant to us? We did this to get the office stuff, that's the goal, so I'd like to focus on that first. | 18:41.07 |
| | Robin_Watts: heading out shortly. Merry Christmas! | 18:45.16 |
| Robin_Watts | henrys: Yes, if it we focus on the office stuff, it's a small enough job to be feasible for 1 person. | 21:32.25 |
| | But there are various different apps built that use it. And those all work in very different ways. | 21:33.12 |
| | Morning mvrhel_laptop. Merry Xmas | 22:27.26 |
| mvrhel_laptop | Robin_Watts: Merry Xmas to you too | 22:41.16 |
| | I guess it is christmas where you are now | 22:41.35 |
| | or close to it | 22:41.44 |
| Robin_Watts | close to it. | 22:42.19 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2013/12/25)>>> | |
