 <<<Back 1 day (to 2014/10/05)2014/10/06 
kens thinks its quiet in here today15:13.30 
jogux kens: yep :)15:18.22 
kens Welcome home jogux, good flight ?15:18.38 
pedro_mac thought you were all jetlagged ;)15:18.50 
kens Certainly am jetlagged, I think its 10:20 am at the moment....15:19.07 
jogux kens: all went fine, but utterly exhausted. how was yours?15:19.21 
kens Ah well we all shelled out for PremiumEconomy this time, so it was not bad at all.15:19.45 
  Empty seat between me and Paul, so we could dump all our crap in it15:20.03 
jogux slept a very small amount on the plane, think we kept on going through bumpy patches that woke me up though15:20.06 
  hehe, nice :)15:20.09 
kens And enough legroom to properly work on laptop15:20.20 
  Just testing the work I did on the plane, then I have 3 commits if it all works15:20.40 
  Reasonably confident of the first one, not so sure on the other 215:21.03 
  20 minutes of WiFi at the airport ran out just before I got my cluster test email back :-(15:21.29 
  brb, caffeine transfusion required15:22.54 
jogux kens: yeah... I couldn't remember how to change my mac's wifi mac address :-)15:24.03 
  it was way better than the hotel wifi!15:24.19 
jogux got almost nothing done on plane. guy in front continually reclined + 15" mac book pro just doesn't cut it.15:25.08 
kens Paul had that problem15:30.39 
  From the moment the wheels left the ground until the cabin crew came round and told him he *had* to put his seat back, the guy in front of Paul was fully reclined15:31.14 
  I had Robin in front, so no problems there.15:31.35 
jogux :)15:35.03 
kens Morning rayjj16:22.14 
rayjj hi, kens 16:23.01 
  sure was a quiet night16:23.11 
kens I would think so, with us all in flight16:23.25 
mvrhel_laptop morning16:24.10 
kens Hi mvrhel_laptop16:24.18 
rayjj morning, mvrhel_laptop 16:24.44 
  have any of you ever heard of "avanquest" ?16:25.55 
jogux hi ray, michael16:25.57 
rayjj hi, jogux 16:26.07 
jogux rayjj: that was a new one on me. Pete dug out some stuff (he emailed)16:26.13 
pedro_mac hi ray, michael16:26.33 
kens Hi pedro_mac I gather you're going to join us for the December meeting in London16:26.54 
rayjj seems that they have these "app packs" and their support site (http://www.avanquest.com/promosupport/) has "Smart Office 2" on the list of apps16:27.06 
pedro_mac kens: that would be cool16:27.18 
henrys hello, hope everyone had a good trip.16:27.30 
rayjj jogux: I haven't seen pete's email yet ... 16:27.33 
kens Hi henrys, suddenly its busy here.16:27.40 
henrys I thought most would take today as a "weekend" day16:28.03 
kens The Smart Office 2 on the avanquest site takes you tohttp://www.picsel.com/support16:28.15 
jogux rayjj: I was amused at the "free gift with a free gift" bit :-)16:28.17 
  henys: too tired to do anything else :-)16:28.38 
pedro_mac rayjj: the last build was december 2012 - I suspect this is a relatively old freebie16:28.39 
  well, freebie as far as the user is concerned16:28.53 
nsz are there mujs developers here?16:28.55 
kens henrys I want to get the work I did on the flight committed before I forget what I did16:29.06 
rayjj nsz: the only mujs developer is tor and he's not here yet16:29.24 
kens nsz not right now, but leave a question and someone will reply (the channel is logged)16:29.25 
nsz i'm trying to (ab)use it to do some js code evaluation but hit various limits..16:29.26 
  ok16:29.31 
pedro_mac irayjj: the users wouldn’t be able to upgrade unless they went to the play store16:29.31 
rayjj pedro_mac: right.16:29.55 
jogux I was confused about where the binary was coming from.16:30.00 
nsz i already reported the bugs on the tracker but i was interested in the general aim of the project16:30.02 
pedro_mac rayjj: and that would be another purchase16:30.13 
kens Oh, ooops I left some debug in pdf_draw.ps and its exploding the log files :-(16:30.17 
nsz because it seems to be limited for what i wanted to use it..16:30.19 
rayjj jogux: and the mention of QuickOffice confused things further16:30.30 
pedro_mac jogux: avanquest host the apks16:30.32 
kens nsz the aim is to get us a lightweight JS interpreter for our own use :-)16:30.39 
jogux pedro_mac: oh right. odd that the slippy shoulder /all/ support to us then :-)16:30.50 
nsz it can only execute code with <32k code words16:30.58 
  because the bytecode uses signed short16:31.09 
kens Yes, its a lightweight implementation16:31.09 
rayjj nsz: but we'll accept input as to limitations (and also will accept patches for enhancements ;-) )16:31.23 
pedro_mac they have installation instructions where you have to disable the default android security and allow unknown sources16:31.27 
henrys jogux,pedro_mac : can we get that forwarding email changed to sos and not support. Or did ron take over that business?16:31.32 
nsz but the compiler happily compiles larger code -> overflow -> segfault16:31.33 
jogux henry: sos forwards to support I think16:31.55 
pedro_mac jogus: they do actually have a support page which says ‘for install prolems, talk to us, otherwise go to the app vendors'16:32.09 
jogux pedro_mac: ah, I didn't find that one :)16:32.18 
kens nsz as rayjj said, we're very open to contributions....16:32.30 
jogux henry: is there an near-ish ETA for the new website? If not we should probably do something :)16:33.01 
pedro_mac jogux: yeah, its not the normal support page you see… quite unhelpful16:33.05 
henrys the email rayjj is referring to went right to support@artifex.com right?16:33.15 
jogux henrys: let me check16:33.26 
  henrys: it went from the web form to support-app@picsel.com to sos@ and then iirc that forwards to support@16:34.30 
kens I didn't think sos@ forwarded to support@16:35.36 
jogux hm. maybe it doesn't. I think everyone gets sos@ somehow. we may need marcosw for this conversion :)16:36.14 
kens I think most of us are signed up to sos@ (I know I am and I don't get 2 copies of the emails)16:36.36 
jogux ah, right, ok.16:36.50 
rayjj the email at 6:30 am (4 hrs ago) is a bit concerning: [gs-regression] performance regression report - 2014-10-06-06:29:40 - e72d03c68bfb6afaa0b90f6b717f91aef67b6c0716:37.39 
kens Hmm, let me look16:38.07 
rayjj Since this is the first one (I think) with the temp file change in, we may need to investigate16:38.19 
kens It does seem consistently slower its true16:38.47 
rayjj particularly since most are 300.1 (clist mode)16:38.48 
henrys jogux: support doesn't include sot16:39.00 
  sos@ that is16:39.11 
  oops you're right jogux sos forwards to support16:40.24 
kens rayjj I see that pdfwrite shows similar slowdown and that does not use clist. Though I cna only see one file there16:40.56 
rayjj kens: pdfwrite includes a 'render' step to get the bitmap16:41.45 
kens Its 75 dpi16:42.03 
rayjj AFAIK we don't time the performance step independently16:42.14 
  kens: is it 75.1 ?16:42.21 
kens We really should16:42.23 
  75.116:42.26 
  Grr 75.016:42.31 
  pressed wrong key16:42.36 
  Its right near the bottom of htat email16:42.48 
rayjj 0 and 1 are pretty far apart on my kb ;-)16:42.55 
kens I was using the wrong hand16:43.05 
  I'm a bit tired....16:43.14 
rayjj and wrong finger ;-)16:43.16 
  kens: just kidding with you !16:43.26 
kens I'm surprised that the performance test only seems to have 3 commits listed, I'd have expected ast least 6 from Chris to be in there too16:44.37 
rayjj the 200% change with tests__pdf__Bug6901014_Fourth_crash_signature_testcase.pdf.pgmraw.300.1 should make it easy to try and see if the temp file change is it16:44.56 
kens How often does the performance test run ?16:44.57 
rayjj kens: nightly I think16:45.07 
kens Ah, well in that case, its correct16:45.20 
  And there are only 2 commits, mine can't make any difference to rendering as its purely a change in pdfwrite16:45.38 
  So it must be the temp file commit16:45.48 
rayjj there wasn't one on 10/5 (There were no svn commits yesterday, so the nightly regression run was skipped.) and 10/4 didn't include the temp file change16:48.18 
kens I think the one on the 5th was skipped in order to do the weekly reports maybe ?16:48.43 
  And yes, the 4th predated the temp file and showed no great changes16:49.00 
rayjj I guess I'll try that Bug6901014_Fourth_crash_signature_testcase.pdf and see if I see a difference16:49.50 
kens I think you will, on Linux anyway16:50.06 
  Right that's the last commit done, I'm off now. Goodnight all.17:08.54 
mvrhel_laptop bbiaw17:12.09 
rayjj c**p !!! VS 2008 doesn't work anymore. Virus Scan didn't turn up anything. Next I'll try re-installing VS 2008 :-(23:54.17
