14:00 'Afternoon 14:00 g'day 14:01 Hello. 14:01 ahoy :-) 14:04 I've poked chip 14:05 transcontinental poking device, or is he still east coast this week? 14:05 transcon 14:05 Unfortunately, I need to vanish at the end of the hour today. 14:05 It's past the hour; should we start or wait for others? 14:05 I was hoping that chip, leo and patrick might appear 14:05 -!- #parrotske chromatic H 2 ~chromatic@sub17-30.member.dsl-only.net [chromatic] 14:05 -!- #parrotske autrijus H@ 2 ~autrijus@220-133-92-49.HINET-IP.hinet.net [Autrijus Tang] 14:05 -!- #parrotske mdiep H 2 ~matt@bursley-221-209.reshall.umich.edu [Matt Diephouse] 14:05 -!- #parrotske obra H 0 ~jesse@diesel.bestpractical.com [Jesse] 14:05 -!- #parrotske Nicholas H 2 ~nwc10@colon.colondot.net [Nicholas Clark] 14:05 -!- End of /WHO list 14:07 But given the time, let's get cracking 14:08 matt. what have you been up to? 14:08 I've mostly been dealing with real life. but coke has managed to switch to using exceptions for Tcl in leo-ctx5 14:09 before we were returning a status variable (OK, ERROR, BREAK, CONTINUE) 14:09 this should give us a chance at interoperability 14:10 Very cool 14:10 Are there things you're currently blocking on? 14:10 we've also managed to get a ~20% speed boast between that and the new calling conventions 14:11 I have a couple questions for chip/leo regarding namespace stuff 14:11 also, we'd really appreciate it if we could merge the leo-ctx5 branch back in 14:12 at this point, we pretty much have to maintain two codebases for tcl 14:12 Yeah, I'm curious about the status of the merge and the September release. 14:12 I know chip at least started to do the review to get ctx5 merged back in 14:12 Were he here, we'd know more ;) 14:13 exactly. :-) 14:13 so that's it for now. 14:13 ok 14:13 Nicholas: what's up? 14:14 @work. (pesky xen boxes and ill sysadmins). No ponie at all this week. Done quite a bit of 5.8.8, but that's off topic 14:15 [plus found volunteers to do p5p summaries, got 2 new committers, reorganised the todo] 14:15 all good news for perl5 14:15 No new questions, but was hoping that chip would be here to answer at least my first (about autogenerating extend.c) 14:16 ok. autrijus, you here? 14:16 I should just send in my extend.c patch, as incomplete as it is. 14:16 ok, chromatic 14:17 sounds like a good plan 14:17 how close is your extend.c patch? 14:17 It appears to generate all of extend.c that's there now from a C API point of view. 14:17 It loses comments. 14:17 I think it also adds a few things that might not ought to be there. 14:17 But it's a first sketch. 14:18 neat 14:19 Any other parrot hacking on your plate recently? 14:20 Not for me. 14:20 I just returned from vacation to a huge pile of work-related e-mail. 14:20 fun! 14:20 -!- #parrotske chromatic H 2 ~chromatic@sub17-30.member.dsl-only.net [chromatic] 14:20 -!- #parrotske autrijus H@ 2 ~autrijus@220-133-92-49.HINET-IP.hinet.net [Autrijus Tang] 14:20 -!- #parrotske mdiep H 2 ~matt@bursley-221-209.reshall.umich.edu [Matt Diephouse] 14:20 -!- #parrotske obra H 0 ~jesse@diesel.bestpractical.com [Jesse] 14:20 -!- #parrotske Nicholas H 2 ~nwc10@colon.colondot.net [Nicholas Clark] 14:20 -!- End of /WHO list 14:20 The first part, not the second. 14:21 So, absent any late /joins, I think that may be it for the day for new reports 14:23 Seems like it. 14:24 Right then. Next time, I send out the cattleprods in advance 14:24 and use more 'volts'; 14:24 use less 'optional'; 14:25 It is, after all, an opensource project. "Everything's optional" 14:26 Alright Nick, there's your patch. 14:26 see y'all next week 14:27 indeed 14:27 Jesse, are you sending out the logs? 14:27 I will, yes 14:35 -!- chromatic [~chromatic@sub17-30.member.dsl-only.net] has quit [Quit: back to work] 14:42 -!- Nicholas [~nwc10@colon.colondot.net] has left #parrotsketch [] Day changed to 20 Sep 2005 00:41 -!- mdiep [~matt@bursley-221-209.reshall.umich.edu] has left #parrotsketch [] 1
