cotto_home is there any reason that email addresses in CREDITS aren't obfuscated? 01:28
Limbic_Region my email address doesn't appear in CREDITS at all, but if it did, I wouldn't care that it wasn't obfuscated 01:29
Infinoid mine is, and I don't care :) 01:30
Limbic_Region wouldn't mind having his a.k.a. added though
Infinoid surprising how few a.k.a.s are in there 01:31
Limbic_Region I am not as emphatic as chromatic about concealing my identity but very few people recognize my real name 01:32
cotto_home seen kj 01:33
purl kj was last seen on #parrot 1 day and 9 hours ago, saying: and run make test [Mar 18 09:10:24 2008]
Infinoid sorry Limbic_Region, I don't know what your real name is :)
Limbic_Region Infinoid - www.perl.com/pub/au/Gatcomb_Joshua 01:34
Infinoid cool. Mark Glines here 01:35
Limbic_Region what's really funny is when you meet someone in real life and you chat about people from "online" but you only know them by their handles, and you aren't quite sure how they should be pronounced because you only ever see them on the screen 01:38
Infinoid in-fuh-noh-eed 01:39
that's good enough for me :)
Limbic_Region what about exussum0 ? 01:40
Infinoid woah. 01:41
Limbic_Region Until the user explained what it was, I was reading it as ex (as in former) U.S. sumo (as in wrestler) 01:42
Infinoid heh
I would have guessed it's italian, or something
Limbic_Region latin 01:43
Infinoid oh, awesome. Attribute::Handlers doesn't seem to work right on perl 5.10.0
szbalint at least I have a handle that is easier to pronounce than my name 01:54
even for native hungarians :)

cotto_home it looks like whoever removed runindent.pl forgot to update lib/Parrot/Docs/Section/Tools.pm 03:56
should be an easy fix for anyone not in committer purgatory 03:58

cotto_home That was quick. Thanks! 04:25
Infinoid we cage cleaners love it when you tell us "you missed a spot" :) 04:26
cotto_home the cage shows it 04:31
hmmm. apparently I'm supposed to initialize variables before I use them. 04:34
Infinoid heh, that helps

Infinoid kj: I've begun reading through your PCT tuturials, neat 15:12
kj nice :-) thanks!
Infinoid in episode 2 (www.parrotblog.org/2008/03/episode-...uts.html), the shown parse tree looks a bit redundant, because the <statement> and <value> words got eaten by the html renderer
shorten Infinoid's url is at xrl.us/bhy43
Infinoid and <integer> 15:13
kj ah i hadn't noticed.
Infinoid without those, I was wondering why the parse tree had two copies of everything :)
kj yes, putting in stuff with < and > really sucks in this blog editor
I'll have a look 15:14

15:42 particl1 joined
kj Infinoid: it should be fixed now (episode 2) 15:45
cotto_work valgrind ftw
kj, do you have all the lessons written, or have you been posting them as you write them? 15:47
kj I'm not finished yet
otherwise they'd be a bit better ;-)
i'm too impatient for working in a structured way and do *planning* :-P
Infinoid its great stuff so far! 15:49
kj that's good to hear! :-)
cotto_work yes. It's a huge help to have that kind of step-by-step documentation. 15:51
kj If you find you're missing pieces in your mental puzzle, please drop me a message or mail, so I can fill the gap 15:52
it all makes sense to me, kinda, so I don't see what's missing

tewk seen particle 17:01
purl particle was last seen on #parrot 1 day and 18 hours ago, saying: Coke: got a few to update parrotcode.org? [Mar 18 16:31:11 2008]
Coke I did that! 17:03
=-)
Coke woots, as his membership in the TPF Grants Committee is now officially official. 17:04
ambs_ Coke: :)
Coke no thanks to ambs_! =-)
tewk I'm not taking any classes this summer and am planning on applying to do some GSoC work for parrot. 17:05
I've been interested in llvm so I was thinking of doing something with that or with c99.
But I'd be open to other core hacking ideas that need to get done this summer. Particle doesn't seem to be around right now. 17:06
ambs Coke: now doing the same with Perrin. 17:11
Coke I could of course use a pair of hands on tcl.

Coke who owns PIR?
ah, kj. 17:29
kj: PIR is horribly broken. you aware? =-)
kj languages/PIR? 17:30
purl i heard languages/PIR was parse-only
kj I think it's horribly incomplete. 17:31
Coke well, completeness aside, the test suite is borked. 17:32
17:32 ambs joined
kj yes, it's probably got to do with the swtich to PCT 17:32
Coke looks like there was a rename from pir.pbc to pirc.pbc that wasn't tracked.
same url I threw for lua - PIR fails 100% of tests atm. 17:33
kj I think I should make the test files pure PIR, not wit the language_output_like() calls 17:35
Coke just wanted to let you know of the status. =-)
kj k, thnx
Coke I tried a few simple updates, but to no avail, so I punted. 17:36
17:38 rdice joined
Coke ZCode is also broken. can't seem to find the "instantiate" method on the Zmachine object. 17:42
purl okay, Coke.
Coke (probably because it's trying to use class methods instance of instance methods) 17:44
(class methods no longer work right.)
ambs Coke: now you should vote too :-P 17:48
Coke checks his gmail. 17:53
Coke finds out he might actually be able to attend yapc::europe.

19:27 lichtkind joined
Coke also, any suggestions on re-ordering the nav? 19:27
too slow! 19:28
rdice? 19:31
purl rdice is the YAPC man. or a wearer of falsies or 300 sweaty perl hackers
cotto_work jk, do you specify the licensing of the code in your tutorials? 19:34
s/jk/kj/ 19:35
kj cotto_work: haven't done so 19:46
is that necessary?
Coke wonders why svn.perl.org is not resolvable from work. 19:47
Coke figures a workaround. 19:50
cotto_work it's a general good idea 19:53
kj cotto_work: any suggestions where I should do that? 19:54
that is, where I should put that notice 19:55
cotto_work I'd just put a quick blurb at the top or bottom of each lesson 19:56
kj ok. good point, thanks
cotto_work something like "all code in this lesson is released into the public domain"
(or whatever)
Coke thinks MJD has a tag like that in his UoD blog.
kj mm. I don't really know what I should put thre. 19:57
cotto_work I wouldn't think about it too hard for an application like this. Artistic 2.0 would match Parrot and public domain would be trivially easy to understand. 19:59
Coke cygwin fails for me like it always has on this new box, btw.
I think if you really don't care 'public domain' is most understandable. Then either Art2.0 or CC.
kj public domain it is then ;-)
Coke seen chromatic? 20:01
purl chromatic was last seen on #parrot 1 day and 13 hours ago, saying: Or maybe just code.google.com/soc/2008/mentor_step1.html [Mar 19 00:14:04 2008]
kj I'll fix it tomorrow. Gotta go now. Good night

wknight8111 Which SOC projects are going to be the most useful for parrot? The Garbage collector one looks important, but the PCT optimizers would have a big effect on performance 22:37
22:54 Theory joined 23:01 skids joined
Eevee erm 23:31
www.parrotcode.org/faq/ says parrot has an arbitrary number of registers
docs/art/pp002-pmc.pod says the VM has 32 of each type but that PIR supports an arbitrary number
latter more correct? 23:32
