10:21 < kanzure> so, i'm putting together a video for the skdb microfluidics package
10:22 < kanzure> it will be between 1min to 5min in length
10:22 < kanzure> i think it needs some background music to amplify how awesome it is :p
10:22 < kanzure> any "artsy" suggestions?
10:25 < Utopiah> something light like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjvqY-U9gV0
10:25 < kanzure> something light huh
10:25 < kanzure> haha
10:29 < Utopiah> more seriously I remember liking tech videos that had fast paced music but not hardcore electronic or guitars
10:31 < kanzure> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGCiJvKaZtQ kuka robot group video
10:33 < Utopiah> that's a nice goal...

12:42 < kanzure> "That said, is there a reason you aren't using something like ctypes and libwdb for this? If you're just doing compile-style generation of geometry, that's exactly what libwdb is for, and that'd keep you from needing to do anything with TCL or mged at all, and make it easier to add libged's functionality when it gets that far. Looking at ctypes, that should be close to trivial, and certainly easier than mucking about generating input for mged."

17:11 < kanzure> http://designfiles.org/~bryan/csg.py any thoughts on how to do pythonic csg?
17:12 < kanzure> keep in mind that base and base_plate should both be modifiable down the road and have each other updated
17:26 < kanzure> fenn: what about this method of converting meshes to solids? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZFLU1eUx6M it kind of sucks and seems to require human interaction
17:26 < kanzure> but i hadn't considered it
17:26 < kanzure> hm it doesn't seem to capture the minor details like the holes
17:27 < bkero> Internet, give me medical advice.
17:27 < bkero> I ate a bunch of wasabi peas 2 days ago, and I can't taste anything.
17:32 < QuantumG> stop being a girl
17:33 < kanzure> wash it down with bleach

17:56 < clemux> kanzure: oh, ok :)

18:41 < kanzure> hm i think i can give everyone in here a salary now
18:41 < kanzure> of like $1/mo
18:41 < kanzure> presumably this will grow
18:41 < kanzure> :P
18:41 < katsmeow-afk> that gives you 27 more slaves, now what?
18:42 < katsmeow-afk> i mean, now what , Master?
18:42 < kanzure> yess!
18:42 < fenn> i believe the correct response is "now go forth, and destroy! buwahahahaha"
18:43 < Utopiah> or joining hands and saying "Excellent."
18:43 < kanzure> uh, i'd like to point out that according to section 5 subsection 2 of the evil angry mad scientist's manual that the evil laugh does _not_ have the letter 'u' in it
18:43 < kanzure> boo-wahahaha <-- no
18:43 < katsmeow-afk> or nodding alot and saying "exactly, i understand"
18:44 < Utopiah> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irtsm7mLG5k
18:46 < fenn> the geomagic surface reconstruction thing is pretty cool, but of course i have no idea how it works.. and there seems to be a lot of pointless interaction
18:47 < kanzure> what they do is they take a surface and extrude it, transport it to the solids kernel, then fuse/cut in the solids kernel/proggie
18:47 < kanzure> or that's what it looks like
18:47 < kanzure> oops, wait
18:47 < kanzure> they take a surface, transport it over, extrude the surface, then fuse/cut it
18:48 < fenn> uh. so it's not dealing with meshes?
18:48 < kanzure> it seems to..
18:48 < kanzure> they take a "layer" of the mesh to get a "surface"
18:48 < fenn> how do they get the surface in the first place
18:48 < kanzure> they look at the mesh model i guess and take everything on a certain xyz plane
18:48 < kanzure> disclaimer: this is my pathetic guess
18:49 < kanzure> more python code from danielfalck http://pastebin.com/m375307bb
18:49 < QuantumG> umm.. usually on a mesh you have some special vertices that are flagged as face edges.
18:49 < kanzure> STL?
18:50 < kanzure> bkero: BUTT_PORBLEMS in portland says she's done the same thing. in about a week it will be fine
18:50 < QuantumG> so if someone points at vertex and says "gimme that face" you can do a walk along the edges until you find all the verticies that are part of the face.
18:50 < bkero> kanzure: <3
18:53 < kanzure> fenn: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/csg.py is this something you could live with
18:53 < kanzure> i mean, if something worked like that
19:02 < fenn> i'm not too keen on having to extrude a circle to get a cylinder, but yeah i could live with that
19:02 < kanzure> oh, well Cylinder would probably be a primitive
19:02 < kanzure> i'm kinda dry on the "good examples" thing today

23:20 < genehacker> how fast are you
23:21 < kanzure> i use ace reader pro deluxe http://heybryan.org/ace.rar from time to time, and i usually set it at 700 to 1.3k wpm
23:21 < kanzure> but spreeder.com doesn't seem to work in firefox well because of RAM and timing issues
23:21 < kanzure> i.e. firefox is a fucking pig
