[12:11] <cliffor1> am I the only Tower of Hanoi fetishist on this channel or is anyone interested on proof reading this little article from mine?

[12:22] <blindcoder> clifford: moin
[12:22] <blindcoder> clifford: let me finish cooking my lunch first :)
[12:23] <clifford> ok ;-)
[12:24] <blindcoder> clifford: how's the server transition going?
[12:25] <clifford> the plan is to do the migration today evenng
[12:25] <blindcoder> sweet
[12:25] <blindcoder> and great timing :)
[12:25] <blindcoder> with a bit of luck, work on the ROCK Roadmap can start as soon as today
[12:26] <blindcoder> the test installation of a all-submaster-patches-applied build is currently installing
[12:26] <clifford> i'm running yet another rsync since an hour so we don't need to sync that much during the downtime
[12:26] <blindcoder> great
[12:28] <clifford> regarding the artice: I was unable to find anything compareable on the net. would be interesting to know if my formula is really something new or if I did replicate somebody elses work..
[12:29] <blindcoder> I can't remember seeing anything like tat
[12:29] <blindcoder> submit it to /. and someone will point it out :)
[12:30] <clifford> I've never submited anything to /. so far..
[12:30] <blindcoder> I have
[12:31] <clifford> I still remeber the hype about somebody elses "fast" prime number generator some time ago (a year or maybe two).
[12:31] <blindcoder> nothing got ever accepted, though
[12:31] <clifford> .. my fast prime number generator is at least twice as fast as the one that was discussed in the article. ;-)
[12:32] <blindcoder> hehehehe
[12:32] <clifford> maybe I shhould write a little test app first to check if the formula is really correct.  *g*
[12:33] <blindcoder> I don't really get that hype around primes, pi and stuff anyway
[12:33] <blindcoder> but then, i'm no mathematician
[12:34] <clifford> writing a fast prime number generator for the range [2..a few billion] is not really a mathematical challenge. it's "just" a programming challange.
[12:42] <blindcoder> der sirenengesang von bratkartoffeln, spinat und spiegelei...
[12:55] <blindcoder> damn, my test harddisk is dead
[12:56] <blindcoder> this'll take a bit longer, have to empty another disk first
[12:56] <owl> moin
[12:56] <blindcoder> moin moin
[13:04] <blindcoder> clifford: So a disk is eighter always moved to the right or to the left and so once we need how often a disk has been moved we do know its position.
[13:04] <blindcoder> there's a word error in there
[13:04] <blindcoder> I think it should mean:
[13:04] <blindcoder> So a disk is eighter always moved to the right or to the left and so once we *know* how often a disk has been moved we do know its position.
[13:05] <blindcoder> also, it's either, not eighter
[13:09] <blindcoder> I also don't get your premise
[13:10] <blindcoder> from my experience with towers of hanoi, disks are moved left and right
[13:10] <blindcoder> not just left or just right
[13:11] <blindcoder> ah, never mind
[13:11] <blindcoder> I think I just got it
[13:11] <clifford> typos fixed. added SPL script that demonstrates the correctness.
[13:12] <blindcoder> I've seen that script running already :-)
[13:12] <blindcoder> I just didn't understand the 0-1-2 and 0-2-1 at first
[13:13] <clifford> I just wrote the script right now. Are you sure you mean this one?
[13:13] <blindcoder> hmm
[13:13] <blindcoder> then probably not
[13:13] <clifford> do you have a better wording for the left-right thing?
[13:14] <blindcoder> I have seen a cgi-bin script that demonstrated it 
[13:14] <clifford> other formula.  ;-)
[13:14] <blindcoder> no, I was just reading too fast :)
[13:14] <clifford> ok.
[13:14] <blindcoder> ah
[13:19] <blindcoder> clifford: okay, I understand the formula. I couldn't create it or check if it is correct, but I understand it :)
[13:22] <clifford> great.
[13:22] <clifford> so my explainations are not only confusing the reader..  ;-)
[13:22] <clifford> what do you think about it?
[13:23] <blindcoder> sounds plausible to me
[13:25] rocklogbot (i=blindcod@pallas.crash-override.net) left irc: Remote closed the connection
[13:25] rocklogbot (i=blindcod@pallas.crash-override.net) joined #rocklinux.
[13:26] <clifford> ok. the irc logs on www.rocklinux.net are working again now.
[13:27] <blindcoder> great :)
[13:28] <clifford> someone did run the script as root and so the cron job (running as clifford) was unable to recreate the index html file..
[13:28] <blindcoder> eww
[13:28] <blindcoder> MUAHAHAHA
[13:29] <blindcoder> I could really get used to this amount of storage space
[13:29] <blindcoder> had a 120 GB harddisk mostly filled with ROCK builds
[13:29] <blindcoder> needed the storage space for testing now
[13:29] <blindcoder> and just copied the stuff to my big storage :D
[13:29] <clifford> data is like an ideal gas: it expands to all available space in zero time. ;-)

[13:30] <blindcoder> hehe, true :)
[13:31] <clifford> ok. after I did write the script to make sure that the formula is correctly it is ready to be submitted to /. now..
[13:31] <clifford> do you want to do this?
[13:32] <blindcoder> it's yours, you have the honor :)

[13:54] <clifford> story submitted. let's see if it gets trought...
[13:56] <clifford> how long does it take normally until a decission is made if a story gets published?
[13:57] <blindcoder> about a day
[13:59] <clifford> oh, that long?
[14:00] <blindcoder> yes
[14:00] <blindcoder> my release announcement for ROCK 3 took a day to be rejected
[14:00] <clifford> maybe I should have waited until the server migration has been done then.
[14:00] <clifford> do they argue why a story gets rejected?
[14:01] <blindcoder> or you just need to hurry up with it now :)
[14:17] <blindcoder> no

[14:32] <blindcoder> don't we put those on the cd-rom anymore?

[15:28] <blindcoder> probably that an assert() failed
[15:33] <blindcoder> okay, applying all submaster patches makes stuff work as expected
