14:53:00 <Wolf01> ho, now it decided to let me log in
15:30:59 <Alberth> you should talk nice to it :)
15:36:43 <planetmaker> dear router. Please give me access. And I'll be so kind to feed you a few bits. Including some tasty sweet ones.
16:28:41 *** smoke_fumus has joined #openttd
16:31:56 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
16:32:19 <jonty-comp> why does so much of my job revolve around having to use programs that have barely been updated since windows 95 was released
16:32:58 <jonty-comp> our invoicing and pricing software was written in Delphi in 1996 and has the characteristic custom UI theming that comes with delphi for some reason
16:33:37 <jonty-comp> and the TNT global shipping software talks to other computers over the network via some kind of weird cross between SMB and its own protocol, and then dials up some proprietary VPN software from 1997 to send its report back to the depot
16:34:28 *** Dragonsarefake has joined #openttd
16:35:49 <jonty-comp> i write here in the vain hope that since openttd is from a similar era someone can explain why that works just fine and everything else that old fails catastrophically
16:36:17 <jonty-comp> but i suppose the refactoring means that openttd is wholly renewed every few years :P
16:36:20 *** Dragonsarefake has left #openttd
16:47:37 <Alberth> openttd is constantly being changed/expanded, needing rewrites
16:47:52 <Alberth> there are old corners though :)
16:48:30 <Alberth> but the path from C -> C++ is much easier than Delphi -> anything-non-delphi
16:49:33 <Alberth> and there is the problem of changing video hardware, which currently has no nice solution
16:51:36 <Alberth> being an open source project, we don't measure in hours but in the quality of the software
16:53:10 <jonty-comp> i guess if you write a TNT program in 1995 and it 'works' then you never need to change it again other than for compatability :P
16:54:39 <peter1138> Ah, Delphi's custom graphics, yay.
16:57:17 <Alberth> I usually find that you find the sweet spot of the program after writing it for three or so times
16:57:33 <Alberth> and the sweet spot generally moves in time
17:07:01 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
17:28:15 *** cristianopentttd has joined #openttd
17:29:21 <cristianopentttd> como actualizo de 1.4.4 a 1.5
17:30:06 <Alberth> please try to talk english, a lot more people will understand
17:33:08 *** cristianopentttd has quit IRC
17:35:40 <Alberth> that's one way to answer a question :p
17:36:02 <Eddi|zuHause> yes, we know openttd is dying
17:39:10 <V453000> quick association eddi XD

18:19:23 <Flygon> Eddi: OTTD is dying???
18:19:35 <Flygon> It's like every time I join a Ragnarok Online server
18:26:44 <Wolf01> don't even compare your curse to mine
18:27:33 <Flygon> You kill RO pservs before they even exist?
18:29:39 <Wolf01> but usually when one wants to purchase a discounted game, he should tell me, so when I purchase it with 75% discount, the day after it will be discounted of 80-90%
18:30:12 <Wolf01> and this is nothing: when I'm happy bad things happen, so I must not be too much happy
18:42:50 <Wolf01> and if you want I can flat you with this one: if I listen carefully I can hear my former girlfriend playing in the garden with her children... oh wait, I don't even need to listen carefully, she IS playing in the garden with her children, as she is my neighbour
