| 02:36 | < Janus> | Interestingly enough, you can't reduce the size of a .zip file by archiving it in another .zip file. |
| 02:36 | | * Janus is foiled yet again. |
| 02:39 | <@McMartin> | You can bzip2 the zip file |
| 02:39 | <@McMartin> | It still won't help much. |
| 02:39 | <@McMartin> | Generally, compression techniques produce incompressible files. |
| 02:40 | <@McMartin> | This is also why when zipping mp3s or oggs you want to make it just store them |
| 02:53 | | Janus is now known as Jan[bathipoo] |
| 03:04 | | Vornicus-Latens is now known as Vornicus |
| 03:21 | <@ToxicFrog> | In which case you might as well just tar them. |
| 03:22 | | * Vornicus randomly recalls the easter egg level in Marathon Infinity. |
| 03:23 | < Vornicus> | Get the two hex dumps, one in the first level and one in the second, concatenate them, turn them to binary, unzip twice. |
| 03:26 | < Vornicus> | rather, not the second, but the last. |

| 03:36 | <@McMartin> | How does one "Get hex dumps"? |
| 03:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | They're in hidden terminals. |
| 03:42 | <@McMartin> | Right, but I mean, you have to copy them down by hand, or do they save files to your disk? |
| 03:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | You copy them down by hand, except that if you have the knowledge necessary to turn them into a map file, you probably also have the knowledge to rip the hex dumps right out of the game's resource fork. |
| 03:45 | <@McMartin> | How large a file are we talking here? |
| 03:45 | <@ToxicFrog> | Umm. Ten pages or so? |
| 03:47 | < Vornicus> | 3,400 hex characters in the first half |
| 03:49 | <@McMartin> | Thus, large enough that you may as well rip the fork instead of searching for the terminals. |
| 03:52 | < Vornicus> | yeah |
| 03:53 | < Vornicus> | not that that was hard - it was just text data in the resource form. |
| 03:53 | < Vornicus> | fork* |
| 03:53 | <@McMartin> | Also, to spread the pain |
| 03:53 | <@McMartin> | Observe, my lord, that I am in ur base / forthwith engaged in killin all ur d00dz |

| 14:21 | < MyCatVerbs> | Whaaoooo. CLISP rocks. |
| 14:22 | < MyCatVerbs> | That's the fastest I've ever seen a P4 fall over and shit itself in my life =D |

| 14:33 | < MyCatVerbs> | (setq x '(a b c)) (rplacd (cddr x) (x)) <--- according to the book I have lying around here, should make a circular list. According to "I just tried it", fucks the computer sideways. |
| 14:34 | <@ToxicFrog> | Sounds like a bug in the CLISP terp. |
| 14:34 | < MyCatVerbs> | Wait, that doesn't work. Argh, function namespacing error? |
| 14:35 | < MyCatVerbs> | Ah, there we are. (setq x '(a b c)) (setq m (cddr x)) (rplacd m x) |
| 14:36 | < MyCatVerbs> | Aaaand I might just get to see Linux's OOM killer firing itself off in a few moments now. |
| 14:37 | < MyCatVerbs> | No? Okay, but the hard disk light on this thing just turned from blinking to solid. That and X11's now slower than boiled ass. |
| 14:39 | <@ToxicFrog> | It's hitting swap. |
| 14:39 | | * ToxicFrog mocks |
| 14:40 | < MyCatVerbs> | Funnily enough the LISP interpreter seems to hold on to all that swapspace and RAM even after I -HUP it by xkilling the terminal. |
| 14:40 | < MyCatVerbs> | I have to hit up another xterm and kill -9 the greedy mofo. |
| 14:41 | < MyCatVerbs> | Good stress test for the memory manager, though. Hot damn does Linux ever pick itself back up quickly afterwards. |

| 15:54 | <@ToxicFrog> | Bah, there's no good type for map chunks. |
| 15:54 | <@ToxicFrog> | That is to say, the "map" data type is used for every single chunk that contains map related data. |

| 16:02 | < MyCatVerbs> | ? |

| 16:02 | < Vornicus> | It is apparently horrid. |
| 16:03 | < MyCatVerbs> | Hey, cool. Random student ID audit by the porters. |
| 16:03 | < MyCatVerbs> | Hard-looking people in donkey jackets. Hrmn. |
| 16:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, I'm working on my general purpose SS1 map/resource libraries. |
| 16:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | Upon which SS1Edit is built. |
| 16:05 | < MyCatVerbs> | Hrmn. I wonder how many cycles exp(x) burns on a machine with a good FPU these days. |
| 16:08 | <@jerith> | SS1? |
| 16:08 | <@jerith> | System Shock? |
| 16:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | Once the resource library is finished, I can build the map library on top of that; and once the map library is finished, the annotated map generator is a relatively simple program. |
| 16:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes. |
