Is there a simple way to find out how many lines of text fit into a pane? Or to output into it until text will clip? I am trying to do it in a display method, with incremental redisplay...
2:40:15
loke
stacksmith: Number of lines? No.
2:41:10
loke
Ah right. No, it's impossible. Lines can have different heights.

Good morning everyone!

Apparently he was at Symbolics, and he's offering his time for the project.
4:35:02

He seems to be at csail now

I think we are seeing a "snowball" effect.
4:36:36
loke
that raises an important point; what is the best way for project talk? IRC is quite informatl. Should there be a mailing list? Is there one?
4:36:42
beach
The more work is done, the more people become interested, so yet more work gets done.

enough flakes make a snowball :)

I'm not on it methinks. Is it active?
4:37:11

It is used occasionally.

Oh, our Paris office will move
4:42:46
loke
in 2 years. They are rebuilding the building now
4:42:56
beach
Oh, but still in Paris?
4:42:58
loke
Currently, our main office is at Rue Bellini
4:43:10
loke
But they have 3 more locations betwuase they didn't have enough space there
4:44:23
loke
The new one is at Porte Maillopt
4:52:10
loke
beach: Did I mention that I might be going to Paris in a couple of months?
4:52:29
beach
You did, and we discussed having lunch.
4:52:34
beach
How long are you staying?
4:54:39
loke
Don't know yet. At least a week.
4:54:51
beach
So there would be time for lunch one day?
4:55:34
beach
I told you I will be in Paris on November 20 for the PhD defense of Jim Newton.
4:56:03
beach
So if that happens to be when you are there, I might stay overnight, ether before or after.

What subject is he doing?
5:08:23

Didier Verna is his advisor, but he is older than Didier. :)
5:08:33

He used to work for Cadence.
5:08:44

ACTION just used the work “vision” in a presentation.

That feels to MBA that I need to take a shower. Do you know of a good synonym?
5:10:59
beach
Heh. I'll give it some thought.
5:12:38
loke
It's in reference to what the long-term goal of a new security architecture is
5:12:49
loke
“The vision is to create blah blah”
5:13:15
loke
And I already used the word “goal” in the same slide
5:13:42
beach
I am looking at thesaurus.com
5:13:43
loke
No, it refers to what we will have once all the old cruft has been replaced
5:13:53
loke
“the vision is to create a fully distributed application”
5:14:30
loke
I'll be speaking to developers, so I don't want to seem like I'm some MBA handing down edicts. :-)
5:14:52
beach
Sure. Make sure you don't wear a tie.
5:14:55
loke
Perhaps the word isn't too bad, and I'm just needlessly thinking about it.
5:15:12
loke
No one in the Paris office seems to even wear shirts :-)
5:15:31
loke
Here, most people do, but there is exactly one person here that constantly wears a tie. I have no idea why.
5:16:19
loke
People tend to wear ties for formal sales meetings. They may even wear a suit jacket for such purposes, but that rarely happens in our office (it's for visits)
5:16:39
loke
But during rular office work? Never (well,. except for one guy :-) )

Speaking of that... have you read this thing by an Oracle Consultancy company?

Somehow, it seems fitting that they are Oracle consultants.
