gsnedders, Free Run in GT Mode around Circuit de la Sarthe I with Bentley Speed 8, my own setup but normal turbo, RSH/RSH: 3:15 :)
01:44
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, overdriving he car and braking too late is where I was losing time
01:44
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, that's my fastest ever lap of that track with that car in Free Run
01:46
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, all driving aids at 0; tall but close gearing; low but not minimum ride height; max downforce
03:04
<BenMillard>
Hixie, my 2008 collection now has <code> markup in the descriptions to make them a bit more legible: http://projectcerbera.com/web/study/2008/collection
03:05
<BenMillard>
about 100 entries still need notes or categorisation or both
03:06
<BenMillard>
and then I'll summarise each category
03:10
weinig|away
03:10
<weinig|away>
oops
10:33
<gsnedders>
BenMillard: max downforce round there!?
10:33
<gsnedders>
BenMillard: maybe max at front, but should be nowhere near at rear

<Lachy>
Does IE8 have support for <canvas> yet?
12:40
<Lachy>
JohnResig, yt?
12:54
<gsnedders>
Lachy: no
13:17
<Lachy>
Does Firefox 3.1 alpha support selectors api? I'm trying to download it to test it and find out, but my download speed has just been throttled to 64kbps for exceeding the bandwidth usage cap :-(
13:18
<Lachy>
that's the one thing that seriously sucks about Australian ISPs
13:19
<erlehmann_>
lol
13:29
<Lachy>
nevermind, it finished downloading and it does support it
13:41
<gsnedders>
Time to try and duplicate GT4 disk
13:42
<gsnedders>
(the original is scratched, and although it can be read, it can be very slow to read)
14:08
<erlehmann>
is the green question mark the official whatwg logo ?
14:13
<annevk2>
it's the WHATWG logo
14:29
<annevk2>
hmm, it's not really clear to me how to let XMLHttpRequest use the event loops concept
14:31
<annevk2>
the events all fire synchronously in XMLHttpRequest Level 1
14:32
<annevk2>
Hixie, if you could provide some help with that at some point that'd be nice
14:42
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, just use a scratch removal kit to polish them out
14:44
<gsnedders>
BenMillard: That has thus far failed
14:45
<erlehmann>
BenMillard: your list is funny, kudos !
14:45
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, oh right...I guess they must be really deep
14:49
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, do other games run fine? the lense may be dirty
14:49
<gsnedders>
The DVD drive is generally broken, it is what scratched it in the first place
14:49
<BenMillard>
gsnedders, d'oh! :(
14:50
jcranmer
notes that his disc 2 of Legend of Dragoon hangs in one place reliably
14:50
<gsnedders>
I wish Sony released a PS3 with full backwards compat. :)
14:50
<gsnedders>
* :(
14:51
<jcranmer>
I wish Sony released a PS3 that could save PS1 and PS2 games to PS3 cards
14:52
<gsnedders>
(The annoying thing is they did — just only for NTSC)
15:00
<Philip`>
gsnedders: Instead of a PS3, why not just buy a new PS2? They're not really that expensive :-)
15:01

wishes the Microsoft Incremental Linker didn't keep crashing
15:27
<mcarter>
hello
15:27
<mcarter>
Hixie, you around?
16:13
<gsnedders>
Philip`: Too expensive to just replace something I already have that sorta works
16:14
<Philip`>
gsnedders: But buying a PS3 (if it had proper backward compatibility) would be even more expensive
16:14
<gsnedders>
Philip`: But would give me something I didn't already have
16:14
<Philip`>
gsnedders: Then get a PS2 plus a 360 :-)
16:14
<gsnedders>
Philip`: I already have a 360
16:14
<gsnedders>
:P
16:15
<Philip`>
gsnedders: Oh, then you already have the ability to play wondrous next-gen games, and few are platform-exclusive nowadays, so you wouldn't be getting any new capabilities if you got a PS3, so you might as well just get a new PS2 instead :-)
16:15
<gsnedders>
Philip`: GT5! :P
16:16
<Philip`>
gsnedders: There are plenty of other games with cars racing around tracks that you could play instead :-p
16:17
<gsnedders>
Philip`: A fairly small number of good sims
16:17
<Philip`>
and all racing games are the same, really
16:17
<Philip`>
except for Wacky Wheels which was great because you got powerups by running over hedgehogs
16:17
<gsnedders>
:P
16:17
<takkaria>
Burnout is pretty awesome
16:18
<gsnedders>
Burnout is pretty awesome. But cross platform so I can already get it.
16:18
<Philip`>
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/wacky-wheels/screenshots/gameShotId,223326/ - yay, hedgehog
16:19
<takkaria>
I just wanted to mention it, really, since I think everyone should play it
16:19
<gsnedders>
I wonder what Forza 3 will be like
16:19
gsnedders
hopes it has tracks like Le Mans and Spa
16:36
<erlehmann>
MIcrs Machines !
17:05
<jgraham>
Have fun at TPAC everyone
17:05
jgraham
is about to go away
17:05
<gsnedders>
jgraham: Have fun too
17:06
<jgraham>
Try not to let TAG/PFWG/HTMLWG/other people's video games abilities (delete as appropriate) get you down
17:06
<jgraham>
gsnedders: Thanks :)
20:11
<Hixie>
annevk2: if everything is synchronous, then there's no need for any event loop stuff. but i thought there was asynchronous stuff, otherwise why would we have an "asynchronou" flag?
