# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (October 26, 2013)

The IRC log from October 26, 2013 contains minimal substantive discussion, but includes a few notable points:

* Kanzure mentioned a GitHub repository for Pokémon Crystal (https://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal) during a brief discussion about Z80 assembly programming tools with user Tachyon, who mentioned using Basin, DevPac, and considering z88dk for Spectrum-specific development.

* A web service called SandSquid (http://www.sandsquid.com) was discussed, which apparently takes Bills of Materials (BOMs) and purchases parts based on user lists, though it was criticized for ignoring shipping costs in its optimization.

* Two 3D printer management interfaces were mentioned: OctoPrint (http://octoprint.org/) and PrintToPeer (http://www.printtopeer.com/), with a brief discussion about whether 3D printers should be managed through standard printer protocols like CUPS.

* Kanzure expressed frustration with cross-platform development for python-brlcad, noting the need to hardcode three sets of paths for different platforms due to lack of standardization in BRL-CAD.

* A Nature Reviews Immunology paper was shared and retrieved through paperbot (http://www.nature.com/nri/journal/v13/n10/full/nri3520.html).
