[07:24] ugh [07:25] let's see if that was them reprovisioning my line [07:25] ..nope [07:25] :( [07:26] I thought my connection was bad! [07:27] when i went to move in here, i checked what internet was available [07:27] i was able to get 6.0/768 dsl, great! [07:27] first place i'd ever checked out they said that [07:27] but i couldn't afford it [07:27] :P [07:27] so now, i'm able to afford it and i went to upgrade the other day [07:28] dude tells me it's too unstable at 6, so he sets it at 3 and asks me to get back to him if it's still unstable [07:28] it is, so i get back to him [07:28] now nothing [07:28] :-( [07:28] i state my request clearer: "please put it back the way it was" [07:28] still nothing [07:28] we'll see, it IS the weekend [07:28] i'll call on monday if nothing happens i guess [07:28] i'm disappointed though [07:28] i'm sure as hell not gonna pay an extra $50 just for the extra upload [07:28] but i'd do it for 3.0/768 [07:29] if i didn't get batch disconnected from irc :) [07:29] on the other hand, i could investigate the house wiring [07:29] i had an annoying intermittent service problem quite similar in behavior to this at my last place [07:29] one night it was so bad i started running down wires [07:29] the phone jack was messed up [07:29] you could breathe on it and it's disconnect [07:30] so, it being like 1am, i did the only thing i could... cut up a spare phone cable and patched it into the cables coming through the floor :D [07:30] :-( [07:30] who needs those wall plates anyway [07:30] :-) [07:30] after that? bam, 300 hour connect times to irc servers [07:30] hehe [07:31] I'm connecting by a mobile phone network. There's nothing I can try if I'm suffering a bad connection. [07:32] If I call them, they don't do anything apart from make a voice call back to the modem. [07:32] :( [07:32] (and obviously I can't answer that!) [07:33] and you don't even get a public ip eh? [07:33] No [07:33] move to finland [07:33] hehe [07:33] But the ip changes every time I log on [07:33] i met some guy from finland(?) in an irc channel years ago [07:33] So I can sometimes make use of that ;-) [07:34] an anime / fileserver chan [07:34] he had a lan ethernet connection to the internet [07:34] 100mbit(?) [07:34] $20/mo or something [07:34] i don't understand [07:34] Very nice. :-) [07:34] actually a fiber [07:34] well it may have been gigabit ethernet [07:34] i could get a 100/100 too if the house was wired up [07:35] now ill just have to go with a guaranteed fullrate dsl [07:35] whatever it was, his isp called him one day and asked if he could kindly stop serving up 20MB/sec of data [07:35] or something [07:35] :-) [07:35] Mizcu: i am jealous [07:35] I'd be happy if webpages would load first time, every time. [07:35] oh, we were jealous to Sweden for about 10 years now [07:36] Metcalf: somehow i am in the same situation [07:37] Sweden has a government-built network that has sold 100/100 to customers now for 8 years or so [07:38] Join: myndzi\ joined #corewars [07:38] ...son of a bitch :\ [07:38] For about 10 years I've been hoping to get better net access :-( It's never good enough [07:39] a cell phone connection is the BEST You can get? [07:40] BBB = 100/100 for 18$/m (17e) [07:40] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [07:40] I wasn't sure how long it would be before I move, and most of the connections here lock you into a contract which doesn't move with you [07:40] that sucks [07:40] and i thought cell phone providers were evil [07:40] (heck, our uni-students dont get a 100/100 that cheap..) [07:41] our broadband options are pretty crap, but i'd never heard of a non-portable broadband contract [07:41] (or any contract for that matter) [07:41] Mizcu: it makes me sad, i'd pay quite a bit more for internet like that [07:42] but here i am in seattle fucking washington and i don't even have the option ;P [07:42] hehe [08:46] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [08:53] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [08:55] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [09:36] MSG: Quit: humhum [10:44] someone tell Skybuck @ r.g.c that thats not a bug, but a feature of the order of which the registers and inc/dec are treated [10:53] * Metcalf hasn't been reading his posts! [10:53] There are too many [10:54] Yes. [10:54] I'm sure you and I are not the only ones to have thought that. [10:55] Eric S. Raymond has mentioned before, in a talk about personality types in OSS, about those who flood mailing lists/forums/etc. with enthusiasm, unintentionally hurting it with their overabundance of input which most people won't be able to keep up with. [10:56] OSS projects, I should say [10:59] Granted, our mailing list is nowhere near as mission-critical [11:00] brb!

[12:49] Just reading about isometric ground maps [12:52] Oh? :) [13:00] I like the first comment! [13:00] "you are nice" ;-) [13:00] Yeah, it's a pretty nice comment :D [13:04] That was a guy from #gamedev , he said "You are nice" in there before going to sleep [13:04] pretty hard to remain anonymous if you say the same thing as in a comment made approx. at the same time [13:08] Speaking of which, time to put my plan into action, and code that isometric ground tile map [13:10] :-) [13:10] How are you storing the image of the tile? [13:11] well, I didn't go over this in that post, but I'm actually going to do three parts: the top, the left front, and the right front. Tiles that the front part of won't be visible on will not render the left or right front [13:11] I assume you have different images, and images of different heights [13:12] I will later, for sure, but I'm one of those crawl before I can walk types. (Helps motivate and train me for refactoring code, and saves time as well) [13:12] Right now I'm assuming that they will all be the same size. Once I get it working right, I may throw that wrench in [13:14] I assumed you would render the entire tile and let the tile in from overwrite the left or right front [13:14] Once you start getting taller tiles, they'll overwrite each other anyway [13:15] Hrm, I'm also not dealing with multiple levels yet either [13:15] It may turn out to be simpler to do it that way [13:27] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [13:38] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [14:19] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [14:27] MSG: Quit: *poof* [14:28] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [14:31] Join: AndrewBC joined #corewars [15:20] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [16:05] Join: flyduck joined #corewars [16:38] Join: Fizmo joined #corewars [16:47] hi hi [16:49] anybody there?
