Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: make sure to read code from at least a17 or so
Wed May 6 22:32:54 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: yeah, tell me :) in a way that has made things better it seems.. but man, the ds routers are spammy :)
Wed May 6 22:35:43 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: since they have virtually the same dataset, and are running the same code for all I know, that is something that has been sparking my curiosity for quite some time.
Wed May 6 22:37:39 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: anyway, one very easy improvement you may want to make is to remove muds from the expired list when a new mud with the same name gets added, and possibly, wipe all past changes related to that same name.
Wed May 6 22:46:32 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: there are differences on the quantum level... i4 uses sub-space for transmissions while yatmin is still using radio waves.
Wed May 6 22:50:09 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: people on yatmim need to get off their butts and switch to wopr or i4 soon

Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: without his protection, yatmim is not long for this world
Wed May 6 22:51:17 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: will remove it from the predefined routerlist in gurbalib then.
Wed May 6 22:51:50 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: but the difference in behavior between the 2 has been there for a long time.. have always been wondering somewhat about it :)
Wed May 6 22:53:17 2009
[dgd]
Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: if i can speculate, maybe some of that spammy stuff is related to in-router traffic, and i4 has more connections than yatmim?
Wed May 6 22:54:14 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: they do run the same code tho, in case yer wondrin
Wed May 6 22:54:30 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: the last Big Thing i did involved ensuring all nodes had the same code
Wed May 6 22:54:35 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: it doesn't explain why *yatmim needs a lot less time to send a full mudlist (mudlistid 0 in startup request) then *i4
Wed May 6 22:54:51 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: because my obsession with uptime had resulted in all sorts of subtle and not so subtle differences
Wed May 6 22:56:35 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: my uptime obsession also resulted in another totally unexpected discovery
Wed May 6 22:57:03 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: normally when a mud reboots, fd 0 gets taken up by one client daemon or another
Wed May 6 22:57:23 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: but after months of operation, a router seems to eventually wind up with a mud on fd 0
Wed May 6 22:57:37 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: turns out this was not even slightly accounted for
Wed May 6 22:58:19 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: anyway this is why kali was having so much trouble
Wed May 6 22:59:42 2009

Aidil@The Zone: I suppose there is a reason Crat tries to run everytime someone tells him to fix something in the router code :)
Wed May 6 23:00:07 2009

Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: i do not deny responsibility, it's something that should have jumped out at me
Wed May 6 23:00:35 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: but the code as i inherited it wasnt really real world tested

Sun May 10 12:48:24 2009

Aidil@GurbaDev2: the one really good thing about CSS is that it is pretty easy to parse.
Sun May 10 12:49:42 2009
[dgd]
Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: well, in my case the largest problem is the fact that the designer isn't very well aware of html block design and reulting layout limitations.
Sun May 10 12:51:04 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev2: obviously, various versions of various browsers having slightly different behavior wrt blocks isn't very helpful either.
Sun May 10 12:51:59 2009
[dgd]
Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: Well, usually it was separate version for every IE in existence and one for all other browsers.

Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: not calling it an ideal option, but works nice for me.
Sun May 10 12:55:38 2009

Sun May 10 12:55:46 2009

Mon May 11 04:56:50 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: It'll show up on the same IP address that I'm using here, as the LAN is behind a NAT router.

Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: i'm assuming you're doing this because it interests you to mess with i3
Mon May 11 05:08:34 2009
[dgd]
Cratylus@Dead Souls Dev: if you were doing this because you wanted to join i3, there's an imc2 <-> translator server
Mon May 11 05:10:21 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I don't. My mud predates the merc branch of Diku, and lacks many of the assumptions the I3 and IMC2 client codes assume are there (like local channels).
Mon May 11 05:11:44 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I should probably glance at the imc2 code again, as it's been a while, but I figure I'm in for a bit of work either way, and I'm more used to I3 from the user-end of things.

Quixadhal@Bloodlines loves it when his ISP "doesn't change anything", but his firewall with an uptime of 3 years suddenly needs to be reconfigured to work properly.

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Everyone on I3 has their wakefulness shifted a few hours from everyone else, but someone is always watching you. *grin*
Tue May 12 20:19:41 2009

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Oh, I did find a circumstance where the imud_d reconnect code breaks... not one that's likely to happen very often though.
Tue May 12 20:20:44 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: When your ISP changes their network in such a way that YOU have to change your NAT rules slightly to make it work again, it connects the the router but never gets an answer back, and sits there and chews. :)
Tue May 12 20:21:26 2009

Tue May 12 20:22:57 2009

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Hmmm, so if your IP changes, shouldn't the reconnect then update your mud's IP entry so the replies will work?
Tue May 12 20:23:44 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: I'm thinking that open() needs to start a timeout, and force a disconnect when it expires
Tue May 12 20:23:49 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Of course, the client has to know to stop using the old value too, so I guess that might need something.
Tue May 12 20:24:16 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: hmm. why should a change to the outside ip, and a matching change to the nat rules change anything for the i3 client I wonder.
Tue May 12 20:28:48 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Yeah... I wish I could tell you. Unfortunatly, the folks I'm permitted to talk to at my ISP don't have a clue how their network actually works, so it's a black box I have to work around by trial and error.
Tue May 12 20:30:30 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Putting it another way, the change I had to make shouldn't have been needed, and means they're doing something weird on their end as well, probably their own bizzaro NAT.
Tue May 12 20:31:20 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: just wondering, the keepalive check didn't catch it either?
Tue May 12 20:32:28 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Nope, it tried, but it ended up bouncing around between the router choices for a bit and then just gumping around wpr. I wish I still had the output somewhere.
Tue May 12 20:34:20 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I think the problem ended up being that once they were done screwing around, it wasn't being NAT'd properly for a while (so it could initiate the connection, but wouldn't get a response), and then a few reboots and curses later, I figured out why things were being screwy and plopped a bandaid on it.
Tue May 12 20:35:41 2009

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Of course, why you'd want to drink something that tastes like paint thinner is another question.
Tue May 12 20:56:46 2009
[dgd]
Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: paint thinner tastes better... i like that faint note of turpentine...
Tue May 12 20:57:05 2009

Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: 80% drinkable, 96% suicidal, you probably saw the mischan

Subversion@Way of the Force: Aidil committed Gurbalib revision 226 to svn://wotf.org/gurbalib : Uncomment a small check in warmboot to deal with outdated info in the compiler daemon
Tue May 12 20:58:09 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I don't usually try to find anything over 80 proof, as I like the taste of my booze. Although Rumpleminze is very smooth at 100.
Tue May 12 20:58:44 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: TBH the worst I'll ever regularily drink is just cask strength scotch
Tue May 12 20:59:37 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: cask stretch scotch is 120 proof (US proofs that is)
Tue May 12 21:00:00 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: True, gin is up there a ways too, and I do like a proper martini. You can keep the vodka for drain cleaning though.
Tue May 12 21:00:48 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: see kali, yet more disappointments for americans, not only do we have bigger pints, our proof values are lower numbers for the same amount!
Tue May 12 21:01:05 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: US proofs? I was under the impression that 100 "proof" was the point at which alcohol will ignite by simple flame. You have different flames over there?
Tue May 12 21:02:14 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I know over here, they used to check proof by holding a match to a shot of it... if it lit, it passed... if not, it was "watered".
Tue May 12 21:02:54 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: 60% A.b.v. is apparently 120 proof (US) and 105 Proof (UK).. Iunno why
Tue May 12 21:03:16 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: at least the US system makes sense in i ths case
Tue May 12 21:03:36 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: what's the equation for the british number? :)
Tue May 12 21:03:40 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: generally neither US not UK system make any sense
Tue May 12 21:04:30 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Maybe the UK version is the percentage at which it will ignite when soaked into the magistrates robes or something.
Tue May 12 21:05:06 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: the percentage at which football hooligans become rowdy
Tue May 12 21:07:15 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: "In the UK it was laid down by an Act of Parliament in 1816 that "a quantity of 100 degrees proof liquor would have the same weight as 12/13 ths of the same volume of pure water at 51°F.""
Tue May 12 21:07:52 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: we don't use proof in the UK anyway, we mark everything in Abv
Tue May 12 21:08:00 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: if you create an insane system, do it properly.
Tue May 12 21:08:16 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I hope that's 51 degrees and not 510 degrees....
Tue May 12 21:09:26 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: you must not have seen the special character correctly
Tue May 12 21:10:03 2009
[dgd]
Kalinash@Fire and Ice: lol Aidil, that is properly insane isn't it? :)
Tue May 12 21:10:05 2009

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Nope, plain old ASCII here...showed up as 0. :)
Tue May 12 21:10:44 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: The world can bite me... If you can't say it in 7-bit ASCII, it isn't important enough to say. *grin*
Tue May 12 21:11:19 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: Say it with style... say it with nuclear launch codes.
Tue May 12 21:11:37 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: hmm. *wpr's connection is still somewhat flaky. wondering what is up, theres no planned network maintenance for what I know.
Tue May 12 21:11:39 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Anyways, if we followed "the world", we'd be using text message speek.
Tue May 12 21:12:10 2009

Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev saw the symbol. ISO8859-2 unibyte. High-half FTW!
Tue May 12 21:12:24 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Did you replace that ARM processor with a C64 again?
Tue May 12 21:13:11 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: curiously, it doesn't seem to affect my connection to this mud, which is on the same machine :)
Tue May 12 21:13:29 2009
[dgd]
Raudhrskal@Dead Souls Dev: there were at least five different versions of ebcdic...
Tue May 12 21:13:41 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: So, if it supports java... you could run a blu-ray emulator on it.... *grin*
Tue May 12 21:15:20 2009
[dgd]
Marajin@AndroDGD-Upd: Yeah? you gonna hook your webcam up to aalib and pipe it through the MUD to newbies?
Tue May 12 21:16:23 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Who says you need a graphics card for X windows?
Tue May 12 21:20:33 2009

Quixadhal@Bloodlines: TTYQuake... there's your UTF-8, right there! *BOOM*
Tue May 12 21:27:04 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Yes, you can have squid-ink ice cream too. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Tue May 12 21:40:59 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: hmm, theres a problem with the link to easynet which seems to be causing the connectivity issues for *wpr.
Tue May 12 21:42:51 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: curious how it doesn't affect my session to this mud at all, which is hosted on the same server.
Tue May 12 21:44:35 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Not just wpr though... My ISP is apparently having issues with a sprintnet link from Allendale to Chicago too.
Tue May 12 21:44:59 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Hence my dropping off the face of the earth for a few minutes just now.
Tue May 12 21:47:07 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: apparantly, it is causing the connection to the imc2 gateway quite a bit of trouble.
Tue May 12 21:47:59 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@The Zone: but basicly the problem seems that the larger the packets, the bigger their chance of never making it.
Tue May 12 21:55:14 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Hopefully the rest of the interweb tubes will behave.
Tue May 12 21:57:00 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: LOL, spotted a typo.... "[16:32:50][announce] Imud_d: I3 onnection to *wpr lost". ^onn^conn
Tue May 12 21:57:47 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Only spotted because the successful reconnection line didn't line up right.
Tue May 12 21:59:18 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: Way of the Force has a dedicated line for I3 events, but it also connects to 3 different networks, and gets notifications from the router that also go to that channel.
Tue May 12 21:59:32 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Yeah, it's a good idea. It helps keep people from wondering why their channel messages just disappear.
Tue May 12 22:00:26 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I was wondering, does I3 support getting a list of remote users on a channel?
Tue May 12 22:01:00 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: It would be nice to have it use that for intermud channels, rather than just showing the local users.
Tue May 12 22:01:13 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: btw, the spec Crat pointed you at a while ago (on stack.nl) is about 99% correct :)
Tue May 12 22:01:53 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Cool. It looks reasonable, assuming I get all my brackets and braces in a row.
Tue May 12 22:01:57 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: well, querying all muds when someone checks info on a channel might not be appreciated by everyone :)
Tue May 12 22:03:26 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: a few bits aren't implemented, ie, none of the public routers will ever sent you a routerlist with all the other routers on it, simply because there are a number of clients that go nuts when getting such a list.
Tue May 12 22:03:37 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Perhaps, but dgd /list isn't overly useful as it stands.
Tue May 12 22:04:25 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: for dgd, its actually mostly useful to know which muds are listening.
Tue May 12 22:04:57 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I mean, you could cache the data so you don't spam everyone if you just did it recently.
Tue May 12 22:06:34 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: anyway, re: spec, few clients support the idea of the router sending a new startup-reply to indicate that it should disconnect and connect to another router (or try to reconnect to the same one, depending on the routerlist it gets and interpretation of the spec)
Tue May 12 22:06:58 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: so iirc no router bothers to send you one, they generally just disconnect.
Tue May 12 22:07:43 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Right... controlled shutdowns are less common than the router just becoming unavailable without warning.
Tue May 12 22:08:39 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: That would be most handy IF the I3 network routers did load balancing.
Tue May 12 22:09:32 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: anyway, iirc there are 2 public clients now that support some form of automatic switching between routers. I believe Tricky's code can support it, it at least does support more then one router in the router list, and the gurbalib one supports it.
Tue May 12 22:11:52 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: ah yes, another detail thats not mentioned anywhere in the spec, but turns out to be a rather good idea.. don't send back errors in reply to broadcast packets.
Tue May 12 22:12:46 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Hah! Yeah, I can see that.. especially since half the clients out there would ignore the error anyways.
Tue May 12 22:13:38 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: yep, and those that don't would get spammed by upto 100 or so error packets in response
Tue May 12 22:15:12 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: for getting mudmode right, gurbalibs save_variable() might be of help :)
Tue May 12 22:15:22 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I assume I will need to escape double-quotes in string values... anything else need hand holding?
Tue May 12 22:16:00 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: heh, I gladly forgot the details once it all worked :)
Tue May 12 22:16:24 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: mudos no like \0 in strings, so mudmode no like either :)
Tue May 12 22:16:31 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: I hope nobody actually sends telnet-compliant CR sequences... embedding NUL bytes in C strings is not fun.
Tue May 12 22:17:34 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: good... I already did the mini-state of mapping the various rn combinations into n.
Tue May 12 22:49:49 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Hmmm, according to the spec, the mud (client) can't return not-imp? So, do I just return unk-type or just ignore the request?
Tue May 12 22:53:05 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@Way of the Force: unk-type unless dealing with a broadcast iirc.
Tue May 12 23:22:11 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Programming in C is like eating rice with chopsticks. It can be done, it can be fun, but mostly you burn more calories than you get back.
Tue May 12 23:23:41 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Which only proves my point.... forks are more general-purpose, although not as entertaining at times.
Tue May 12 23:25:29 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: If you do, keep your eyes open for The Blue Raja, Master of Cutlery.
Tue May 12 23:26:04 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev1: but eh.. chopsticks are more general purpose.. at least, non crappy ones. :) they can be used as fork, spoon and knife.
Tue May 12 23:26:37 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev1: the fact that you are not very good at using them isn't an excuse :)
Tue May 12 23:27:00 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev1: and not something to blame on chopsticks.. I think its called learning curve.
Tue May 12 23:27:45 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev1: and after this very important point.. time for some sleep.
Tue May 12 23:27:54 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines: Actually, I am fairly good at using them... I enjoyed watching my friend stubbornly finish his rice with them. Not sure I'm good enough to use them as a spoon yet though. :)
Tue May 12 23:28:33 2009
[dgd]
Quixadhal@Bloodlines ponders the market for hollow chopsticks which would double as straws....
Tue May 12 23:28:37 2009
[dgd]
Aidil@GurbaDev1: don't think they'll do well on anything fluid :) but stuff like rice can easily be spooned with them :)
