[18:07:05 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> If he's up for it, and you are, that would be very cool

[18:07:26 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I optimized his code by a factor of 10x this morning

[18:07:38 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> but I haven't pushed the change up to Github because I figured he might want to do it himself

[18:08:02 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> function calls still ain't cheap in JavaScript

[18:08:03 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> should I tell him?

[18:08:06 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> but I guess they aren't in C, either

[18:08:08 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> we were maybe going to hang tonight

[18:08:09 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> tell him?

[18:08:13 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> that's awesome

[18:08:19 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> that I made his code faster? I told him in an email today

[18:08:23 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> gave him lots of suggestions, etc.

[18:08:23 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> ahhh ok

[18:08:36 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I told him I was happy to share the optimizations

[18:08:38 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> I'm glad he decided to work on flocking

[18:08:48 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> but that I didn't want to take the fun away if he'd rather experiment with it himself

[18:08:55 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> makes sense

[18:09:15 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> so is the master branch of flocking working on android now?

[18:09:35 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Nope, you'll still need to use the ff-output branch

[18:09:41 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> word

[18:09:45 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> and what about polyphony?

[18:09:54 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I hate to leave it in a branch for so long, but I just want to make sure it's really well tested

[18:10:00 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Polyphony has been in for a while now

[18:10:09 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I think

[18:10:10 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> wait

[18:10:59 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> okay, i'm wrong

[18:11:00 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I suck

[18:11:06 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I've been holding it out for more unit tests

[18:11:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> many of which I wrote

[18:11:23 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> lol

[18:11:37 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> I might have some time between semesters to help out a bit with that stuffs

[18:12:32 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> cool

[18:12:34 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> i'd love the help

[18:12:42 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I'm looking forward to getting back to it over the holidays too

[18:12:58 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> First up, it sounds like, I'll need to merge some branches back together (tongue)

[18:13:00 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> well I finish around the 14th

[18:13:03 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> I can't legally work

[18:13:17 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> so you've got some free time

[18:13:21 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> and the only other thing on my plate is going to be learning some c++ to prep for courses I'm taking next quarter

[18:13:26 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> nice

[18:13:31 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> C++ is a crazy language

[18:13:46 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> a good skill to learn, but don't let it rot your brain (wink)

[18:14:10 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> anyway, I should run

[18:14:42 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> no prob

[18:14:45 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> good talk

[18:14:45 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I have 100 pages of Baudrillard to read tonight

[18:14:50 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> yeah, always nice to chat

[18:14:52 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> ohhh quickly

[18:14:54 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> before you run

[18:14:55 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> let me know if you do any visualization stuff

[18:14:57 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> yep

[18:15:20 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> http://www.amazon.com/Counterculture-Cyberculture-Stewart-Network-Utopianism/dp/0226817423

[18:15:26 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> and

[18:15:40 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Not-Gadget-Manifesto/dp/0307389979/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1353802532&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=you+are+not+a+gadget+a+manifesto

[18:15:56 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> two books on my shelf right now

[18:16:22 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Ah, yes. Jeron Lanier

[18:17:41 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> Paul Demarinis suggested CounterCulture to cyberculture

[18:17:51 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> the Lanier one was from a reading David had me do last year

[18:21:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> Say hi to Mayank for me if you see him tonight

[18:21:18 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> I'm really impressed with his progress

[18:21:35 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> I will extend the message D:

[18:21:38 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> that was to be a (big grin)

[18:21:48 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> (smile)

[18:21:49 CST(-0600)] <thealphanerd> be well, and again thanks for the lesson

[18:22:08 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> You should get this Schmickler album sometime if you're in the mood for some crazy computer music: http://editionsmego.com/release/eMEGO+113

[18:22:26 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> It's curiously reflexive of computer music history, too

[18:22:35 CST(-0600)] <colinclark> which might resonate with you as you learn all the techniques
