The collected works of Hakimoto - Page 1

Mine is good ol' classic IRIS, because I was too dumb to change it when I installed IRIX. It was supposed to be called AUNE. Damn, damn, damn...

Unhappy me...

Anyone go the tardist? I was just dl´ing software from the archives of the nekochan blog to put on a CD, but the site racer.nl doesn´t actually have the tardist anymore.

Also... what frame rates can I expect on a 195 MHz Dual Octane with SI and half a gig RAM?

Thanks for any help.

God, I really love this place (nekochan.net). Thanks for the help, people, it´s really appreciated.

Neko, you said it was just an archive, meaning source or binaries?

Neko, you got an MXI, right? Did you ever test it?

Hey voidfoo!

There's a ultra sweet editor called Yudit . It compiles very fine with the freeware tools under 6.5.17m, and will fulfil your wildest dreams. I use it daily to write Polish, Armenia, French, German and Russian unicode text. It's a bit rough getting used to, for it has a custom interface, but it's nonetheless the best out there. And if you wanna hack the code, write an email to the author, he's a nice guy and helps out a lot.

will do with brute force what the Amiga did years before with
grace, elegance and style.

Well... does anyone know of inexpensive SOG ultra high resolving LCDs? I mean... it´s all sweet and all, but if it doesn´t handle 1600 pixels across... I don´t really want it. ;-) In any case, the original SGI Flatpanel was sweet. The new ones (especially the 22 inch) are just soooo expensive.

Well.... I´m quite comfortable with nedit´s syntax highlighting capabilities, but then it´s been ages since I seriously programmed. Does vi have extensible code highlighting? I need to write myself an OPL syntax highlighter sometime (Psion palmtop programming). For all things unicode I use yudit. It´s got a custom interface which is a bit of a pain sometimes, but it´s stable and let´s you write and save about every format under the sun. Especially try Armenian in emacs or vi.... it´s just not the same as in yudit... hehe.

I used to have a whole collection, but when I moved to the UK like 6 years ago, I had to sell most of it or throw away (I knoooooow... it hurt so much). Now I´m down to:

A couple of random x86 boxen.
A Octane SI/2*195/512/6.5.17m.
A Amiga4000T/highly specced.
A Psion revo+.
From here (Brussels) it takes a bit of time, but eventually it appears.
I strongly suppose it´s ONLY multip player. I don´t like games which don´t also give you the opportunity to play against an AI.

That´s so nice... I´m off forum for a coupple of days and you guys lay down another quality plan to port stuff. Respect. Respect. Respect.
What´s the current scheduled release date? Any news on that?
Great... I´m a love it...
Shrek... we learn dutch for the same reason that we learn other languages. To enjoy the people´s culture more directly. And I can tell you at least 100 countries where English won´t get you very far... and if you don´t wanna go there, then it´s your own miss...

Hm... after reading comp.sys.sgi.* for a while it seems that making bootable EFS CDs actually involves at least two if not three partitions, that are then collated into one diskimage as a function of block length... seems mighty coomplicated...
Point is.... for users below 6.5.18 who don´t have UDF read capability it´s really the only option, because ISO just s***s for long filenames and attributes... why is this always soooo complicated...?
I´m sure they have a borg that churns them out for ´em.
Canavan, thanks a million for that... that was really comprehensive... :)
Hi All!

Can anyone point me towards someone or a company which might be able to get one of these second hand?

Thanks

Ha!

Having searched around like a maniac and contacted several people who have the identical HP i2000, having even found one that sells them for about 2500$ apiece, the following is clear:

  • 1. The SGI 750, Dell Precision 730, NSI Cession (?) 710 and the HP i2000 are the same Intel OEM machine
  • 2. They all use first generation FP bug IA64 Itanium CPUs, although the HP i2000 has been updated to newer processors that don´t have this bug
  • 3. They all run multiple OSs
  • 4. Apparently Linux runs extremely unstable
  • 5. HP/UX runs stable but with zero 3d X.
  • 6. WinXP 64bit runs stable but is shit to start with
  • 7. Everyone that has one of these machines says they´re unreliable


And what does that teach Hakimoto? Don´t go running after a machine, just because it looks extremely sexy and has cool specs...

Still.. I would love to have one!

Thanks for listening

Cool... little question though: Did you get sylpheed claws to compile with iconv support? If so, what variables did you set for the build process?

Thanks.

I always tried over and over again to compile sylpheed (not claws) with iconv support, recompiling iconv and gettext from scratch etc. and never got it to work. Strange. Maybe it´s claws.

It says "connection refused". Maybe they´re maintaining or somesuch.

Hi All!

I was wondering, given the amount of gfx professionals we have here on nekochan.net, if someone knows a good r2v convertor that will deal superbly with high-complexity full 24bit color raster sources and output into EPS or comparable vector graphics.

At the time on the Amiga we had a program called xtrace, which still exists, but it's not up for the job with color.

I've tried demos of PhotoVector from AlgoLabs, WiseImage from Consistent Software and some other program which I don't remember... but all of them (except for WiseImage, I couldn't test that in the demo) need to reduce colors significantly before vectorising and always fail to grasp the complexity of the source images, when finalising the image.

Anyone has experience with WiseImage? I have seen a demo video, which was very impressive, but I'm not gonna spend thousands of bucks on a piece of software which is not up to the task I described.

To get an idea of what level of raster complexity I'm talking about visit greatwinter.org. That kind of image for example needs to be vectorised professionally...

well, yes, I could do it by hand, but that would take ages, and what are vectorisers for after all?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Hm... I found a "theme" inside KDE on debian, that makes windows inside (like checkboxes and such) be sgi style. I think it's called QT SGi or something like that.

If that helps...
OpenGL 2 will RULE!

miunk, galeon is available in an older version from the SGI freeware archive.

Foetz, keep up the firefox builds, you've got at least one addict. ;-)

Damn that's cool. I read the whole thing, and I have to say I am very impressed. Go go go for the mplayer optimisation boys!

Shame I still have no TRAM for my Octane... but then I don't play movies on it. I play them on my old crappy 366 MHz PII Laptop (the FAMOUS one), and in general I have to say that mplayer is one awesome piece of software.

Keep at it guys.

Ooooh! Sweet. Well, I only have one monitor on my big desk, a 21" which I switch by KVM, but if I ever get enough money to upgrade my Octane to the specs I dream about, hell, three gfx cards will be cool. Hehehe.

Nice work!

Global warming, man. It' unbearable here in Brussels. It's like 500 % humidity and over 30. Every move is misery.
Yeah, same here. Doesn't matter for me though, since I only use firefox. It is possible to rewrite the infosearch, I can send you a bookmarks file for firefox if you want. As for Netscape (not sure why you'd want to use that), but I believe it could be solved with a bit of path juggling. I'll try and have a look at it tomorrow. (Just came back from dexter1's and it's like 2 am... need bed).
