And again Chrome decides to mangle my tab history.
04:29
< gnolam>
Honestly. Everything to do with Chrome is filed under my own personal tech support category as "Your own goddamned fault"
04:32
< celticminstrel>
...
04:35
< gnolam>
Is true, da.
04:37
< gnolam>
It's a bit too scary a browser to use personally, and, well, they don't exactly offer enterprise-level support for the regular peons either.
04:48
<@McMartin>
Which is sad, because I like WebKit a lot but there are no other remotely feasible Windows browsers that use it.
04:49
< celticminstrel>
I'm honestly not sure which is better between Chrome and Firefox. Each has its annoying things and its really nice things.
04:49
< gnolam>
Well, there's Safar... ahahahahaha
04:49
<@McMartin>
gnolam: Might as well call out the new Steam client, man~
04:49
< celticminstrel>
Safari is more annoying than Chrome.
04:50
<@Derakon>
I take it you're an Opera fiend, then?
04:50
<@McMartin>
Me? No
04:50
<@Derakon>
I was talking to Gnolam.
04:50
< celticminstrel>
It doesn't even have "Reopen last closed tab" or automatic session restore.
04:50
<@McMartin>
I use Chrome and FIrefox
04:50 * Vornicus uses Chrome on both Mac and Windows.
04:50
<@Derakon>
I use Firefox.
04:50 * McMartin uses Safari on Macs, mainly because FF at the time he got his Mac was HORRIBLE
04:51
< gnolam>
Strangely enough, even despite Opera having an office around here (where quite a few people I know work), no.
04:51
< celticminstrel>
I have all three installed on this computer. Mainly I'm using Chrome.
05:05 * Namegduf uses Chrome, because he's fussy about UI speed. Supposedly Firefox 3.7 is better.
05:06
<@McMartin>
Namegduf: It is, but Chrome or, really, anything WebKit, will always be better still.
05:06
<@McMartin>
Mozilla's whole extensible-UI thing is predicated on major chunks of the code being written in, effectively, JavaScript
05:06
< Namegduf>
Yeah.
05:07
<@McMartin>
That said, the bear can dance now.
05:07
< Namegduf>
I also recently dropped Thunderbird, so their stuff is disappearing.
05:07
< Namegduf>
It wasn't out of any outright hate, I just needed a more lightweight thing for my netbook, so setup Claws Mail on that, and found it did pretty much the same job, but much, much more responsively.
05:07
< celticminstrel>
I just upgraded Thunderbird to 3.
05:08
<@McMartin>
I've been trying to migrate my parents off of Eudora. ;_;
05:08
<@Vornicus>
McM: what the shit
05:09
<@McMartin>
They're also still on dialup.
05:09
<@McMartin>
Some of this is "we need to retain the email address because it's published in important physical books", but.
05:13
< celticminstrel>
My computer is unresponsive way too often. It's starting to get annoying. <_<
05:15
< celticminstrel>
I'd blame it on Chrome or Thunderbird, but it doesn't just happen with them.
05:16
<@Vornicus>
celticminstrel: hangups are most commonly caused by hitting swap.
05:17
< celticminstrel>
, that's what I was suspecting.
05:18
< celticminstrel>
^Yeah
05:18
< celticminstrel>
Which is why I'm making plans to install more RAM.
05:19
<@Vornicus>
Look in your task manager/activity monitor to see what's eating your ram.
05:23
< celticminstrel>
Chrome is using a whole lot.
05:23
< celticminstrel>
Between 15 processes.
05:23
< celticminstrel>
Next seems to be Thunderbird.
05:23
<@Vornicus>
Chrome is known for using rather a bit of RAM.
05:24
< celticminstrel>
And then Colloquy.
05:24
< celticminstrel>
230 MB for one if its renderer subprocesses!
05:24
< celticminstrel>
^of
05:25
<@Vornicus>
Chrome has its own task manager to let you see what page is eating 230MB.
05:25
< celticminstrel>
That sounds like it could be useful.
05:26
<@Vornicus>
on Mac: view -> developer -> task manager
05:44
<@Vornicus>
Things I hate: being an interface nazi and not really knowing enough about any GUI system to actually pull off an interface!

<@McMartin>
Vorn: I suggest qt4
05:51
< celticminstrel>
My preference is wxWidgets, though admittedly I have yet to truly delve into its depths.
05:52
<@McMartin>
My usual claim about wx is that it's less of a widget library and more of a test suite for compiler error messages
05:53
< celticminstrel>
Um. Okay.
05:53
< celticminstrel>
I recall it working perfectly fine for me.
05:53
< celticminstrel>
Well.
05:53
< celticminstrel>
Maybe not perfectly when actually compiling wxWidgets, but once it was compiled I don't think I had any problems.
05:54
<@McMartin>
I literally could not get Hello World to compile by copypasting their own documentation out.
05:54
<@McMartin>
Its handling of Unicode is disastrous, especially on older Linux systems.
05:54
< celticminstrel>
I think I got Hello World to compile.
05:55
<@Derakon>
Thoughts on this map? http://derakon.dyndns.org/~chriswei/games/jbrl/handmaps/3-fortresspartial.png
05:55
< celticminstrel>
Fortunately for BoE I'm not concerned about Unicode.
05:55
<@McMartin>
Not what I mean
05:55
<@Derakon>
(The thought is to try making a map for Jetblade by hand, and see how that works out, since the procedural generation thing is currently stalled)
05:55
< celticminstrel>
And for other stuff... well, I'll deal with that when it comes up.
05:55
<@McMartin>
I mean that in Gentoo, you had to compile wx with flags that matched glibc and gtk's flags, and the resulting binaries couldn't co-exist
05:56
<@McMartin>
You also had to put macros around every string in the program or it wouldn't compile or if it did it would segfault immediately on program start
05:56
<@McMartin>
And at the time basically no wx apps I wanted to install did this and were set wrong
05:56
<@McMartin>
Gentoo's response was "lol, guess you don't get to install this, because we won't let you have two versions of wx"
05:57
< Tarinaky>
Derakon: Looks like it'll take forever to make :/
05:57
< Tarinaky>
Derakon: But then, I am lazy.
05:57
<@Derakon>
Tarinaky: well, I have ways of speeding up the mechanical bits of mapgen.
05:57
<@Derakon>
I have the engine already made.
05:58
<@Vornicus>
...oh, that's why it's hosted by nokia.
05:58
<@Vornicus>
Nokia /does/ QT.
05:58
<@McMartin>
Yeah, Nokia bought out Trolltech some years ago.
05:58
<@McMartin>
That's why it's LGPL now~
06:05
< celticminstrel>
Well, I'm on Mac, and it works for me.
06:05
<@Derakon>
(Plan for speeding up map generation: take the hand-drawn map, scale and pixelize it, map each pixel to a tile in-game, run it through a smoothing algorithm)
06:05
< celticminstrel>
So that's good enough for now.
