I think my box is overheating, since I solved the general lockups
with the acpi stuff I wrote out in the lgfaq, and when I touch my
heatsinks they feel waaaaay too warm.
Going to have to get a new case if I can at some point :|
The one I want is really expensive though, it should help a fair bit.
I think my video card really needs active cooling, at least when it is
rendering OGL it seems to get too hot, though I have only encountered
one lock up/reboot which is obviously due to the video card.

15:29 < erek> zakk: did nvidia send you a nv40 yet?
15:29 < erek> i mean
15:29 < erek> zander*

15:30 < erek> zander: oh
15:30 < zakk> zander even sent me one
15:30 < zander> yeah, i had too many
15:30 < zander> didn't know where to put them
15:30 < zander> zakk was kind enough to relieve me of one
15:31 < zakk> I'm playing it with my new nvidia drivers on doom 3
15:31 < erek> zakk: what?
15:31 < erek> zakk: doom3?
15:31 < zakk> hel yes
15:31 < erek> how did you manage that
15:32 < zakk> I work for ATi
15:33 < erek> zakk: may i see screenshots of doom3
15:33 < zakk> sure, sec
15:35 < peppo> zakk, what do you think id and ati would say about you sending
  along screenshots of d3 to people?
15:35 < peppo> I presume you've signed tons of NDAs
15:35 < zakk> screw them
15:35 < zakk> sure have
15:36 < peppo> let me see then?
15:36 < zakk> sec
15:36 < m0sfet> you think i'd get a nice big bag of cash for turning you in?
15:36 < zakk> it takes a while to load :(
15:36 < zakk> probably not
15:49 < zakk> http://timedoctor.org/~zakk/desktop.php
15:49 < zakk> see, there is doom3
15:49 < Forge> zakk - You rock.
15:49 < Forge> Get me a copy to review. :)
15:49 < zakk> sure
15:49 < peppo> what if id get wind of that?
15:50 < zakk> boo hoo
15:50 < peppo> you're interested in getting fired?
15:50 < zakk> they can't fire me
15:50 < erek> zakk: fuck man
15:50 < zakk> I'm indispensible
15:50 < erek> zakk: you're crazy
15:51 < erek> zakk: hey, what video card is that?
15:51 < erek> zakk: and can you display fps?
15:51 < Forge> I got to run out; do dinner. bbl.
15:51 < zakk> it's on my nv40 sample
15:52 < zakk> 6800 ultra or whatever they are calling it
15:52 < erek> blahhh
15:52 < peppo> weren't you working for ati?
15:52 < zakk> I am
15:52 < peppo> _were_
15:52 < peppo> ehe.
15:52 < erek> zakk: i wanted to know how my FX 5900 @ 5950 Ultra would perform
15:52 < peppo> emphasis mine :P
15:52 < zakk> erek: sorry, I only have the nv40 and a ti 4200
15:53 < erek> zakk: how does the Ti 4200 do?
15:53 < zakk> it runs like shit unless I lower the res on the nv40
15:53 < erek> damn
15:54 < erek> not a good sign
15:54 < erek> esp if i'm a lower card than your 6800 Ultra :P
15:54 < zakk> keep in mind this is on my athlon 3200 XP with a gig of ram
15:54 < erek> damn
15:54 < erek> zakk: 512MB / XP 2600+
15:55 < peppo> I'm thinking he's lying
15:55 < zakk> I don't care what you think
15:55 < erek> peppo: heh
15:55 < erek> zakk: yeah, you got Beta Linux drivers bro?
15:56 < zakk> nvidia drivers? yeah they aren't really even beta quality though
15:56 < erek> zakk: worse?
15:56 < zakk> right
15:56 < zander> zakk gets all the broken builds
15:57 < zander> he'd get bored otherwise; that's the way of beta testers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
12:45 < relnev> given a snippet of perl and line noise, i don't think
  i'd be able to tell the difference
----------------------------------------------------------------------
22:49 <+zakk> http://www.nesbuckle.com/buy_buckle.php
22:51 < foxxtrot> $15 for a Original Nintendo Controller? Jesus
22:51 <+zakk> it's a belt buckle
22:52 <+ashridah> good god
22:52 < foxxtrot> That doesn't make it any better zakk
22:52 <+zakk> I'm going to wear it to my brother's wedding
22:53 < treke|laptop> zakk: You dont like your brother much, do you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
23:32 < Judecca> preordering linux games is like asking a stranger to
  hold $50 for you for a few months
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01:33 < icculus> zakk: the lgfaq should really list URLs for getting ATI/nvidia
  drivers. I get a lot of people with nonexistant/misconfigured
  drivers wondering why ut2004 is talking about "matching GLX
  visuals"
01:34 < icculus> And maybe mentioning running ut2004 with the -software command
  line to use Pixomatic on x86.
03:24 < icculus> Also, a "here's how to configure Xinerama to not render ut2004
  in the center of two displays" section would be nice, if it
  isn't there.
03:24 * icculus is clearly cleaning up bugzilla. :)
03:24 < icculus> Notes on enabling/disabling ide-scsi for the installer is
  useful info.
(just so I don't forget until I get home)

I don't know why I bought wheat free cookie mix, it doesn't taste
right...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My PSU bombed out during a power outage the other day, too
replaced it yesterday..

00:10 <+icculus> They have a big PSP section in the Sony booth...
  haven't bothered to walk over to it yet.
00:11 <+zakk> icculus: find me Hideo Kojima and bring him to me
00:11 <+icculus> zakk: I'm on it!

http://www.timedoctor.org/gimps/ is working again.
Hopefully with the new gimp release we'll see higher-quality work,
with less Dustin Reyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THEY HAVE THE INTERNET ON COMPUTERS (YET AGAIN).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also: moved into new place, liking it so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
22:44 < |Spy|> hey, does anyone here have experience with physfs?
22:45 <+icculus> None at all.

My house was robbed last night :(
Nobody was home, thank goodness.
