00:26 * McMartin does battle with Apple's weird module system that belongs to no particular language and is subtly incompatible with all of them

Interesting
00:50
<&McMartin>
And now that I've gotten that working, it's time to switch my implementation language over to Java for this other bit.
00:50 * McMartin would prefer Python for it, but this is impractical for Reasons. :(

<@gnolam>
There's a reason for it, but it sure is annoying that all USB->RS232 converters essentially pick a COM port at random.
09:20
<@gnolam>
Virtual COM Ports for things that are *not* actual USB->RS232 converters are also annoying as fuck.
09:21
<@gnolam>
Every time you plug something in, it's "guess which of these 4 ports is the real one".
09:45
<@gnolam>
Pro debugging tip: make sure the equipment is actually plugged into its power supply.
09:46
<&Reiver>
snrk
09:52
<@gnolam>
(Which is kind of another "argh, converters" issue: had this been an actual COM port, it would have failed just trying to connect to it, instead of silently timing out.)

Afternoon. How's it going Emmy?
17:31
< Emmy>
bit tired after work, but better than most of the week ^.^
17:31
< Emmy>
you had a question about an Access Db, right?
17:36
< SmithKurosaki>
Yes
17:37
< SmithKurosaki>
I'm about to be back at my desk and I'll probably DM you will novel in a minute but I just wanted to make sure you're still here :)
17:41
< Emmy>
yup, though it's dinnertime soon
17:42
< Emmy>
won't go offline though, just AFK
17:47
< SmithKurosaki>
Alright, sent DM. Let me know what you think when you can
18:56
< SmithKurosaki>
In a related but more general field, anyone have suggestions on how to kill a locked file *on a shared drive* that I do not have access to other than through a mapped network drive
18:57
< SmithKurosaki>
I have been banging my head against the wall for a bit about it
19:15
<@gnolam>
As far as I know, you can't. You have to wait for the process with the lock to release it or get disconnected.

Got to love institutional networking

21:19 * McMartin opens up a file he hasn't touched since October
21:19
<&McMartin>
"TODO: I'm not proud of these"
21:19 * McMartin looks over it, decides that his action item is to... become proud of them?
21:20
<&McMartin>
Not only is the thing I apparently wasn't proud of there not on the top ten list of awful things that need to go away in this file, I think they're within shouting distance of not being awful at all.
21:28
< SmithKurosaki>
Perspective change over time?
21:29
<&McMartin>
Some of that, but October is not *that* long ago. I think it's more that my top ten list of Things To Fix/Destroy are things that were included back then out of a dire necessity that no longer exists.
21:35
< SmithKurosaki>
Ahh. Understood.
21:40
<&McMartin>
But also part of my returning to this is "I have done some design work and have had a Good Idea that lets me drastically simplify this thing over here"
22:40
< catalyst>
Optimising SSE based 3D math code makes me happy in my special places

I'm writing a combined code analyzer and generator right now for work and I am also much happier about this than the insane half-documented format wrangling I've been doing for the past six weeks.
