12:07 PM JT-Shop: sorta
12:08 PM Tom_L: takes mine 15 min to say goodbye to somebody
12:13 PM Tom_L: she'll make up for it on the track...
12:40 PM lcnc-relay: <sodakaustik@> does linuxcnc visualise subroutine
12:51 PM _unreal_: well I still have not found the computer for my small cnc OR my laser etcher. but I did find the computer that drives my big cnc machine. I got a positive test of basic motion last night
12:52 PM _unreal_: still plenty to get hooked back up for the big machine regardless.
12:52 PM _unreal_: non of the tubes are hooked up for starters. water, air, vac, spindle cooling... and so on
12:52 PM _unreal_: at least the tunnel light is getting brighter
01:01 PM Tom_L: sodakaustik, not directly
01:19 PM _unreal_: OMG!!!!!! I found it I found it finally. I've been looking for my Zebra tablet. I found it... !!! and best of all it still had 19% battery left. The problem is that if the battery dies, for WTF ever reason. It looses its settings I have to system reset it and re-install all software.
01:19 PM _unreal_: Its still alive!
01:20 PM _unreal_: Its my main media tablet that controlled all environment media. And climate control and many other duties. Now I can setup all the home automation stuff again.!!!!@ SOOOOOOO happy.
01:47 PM roycroft: yay
01:47 PM roycroft: i just got a new gate code for the storage unit
01:47 PM roycroft: maybe i can get in this weekend
01:48 PM roycroft: the last application of dye is done on my controller cabinet, so while that is drying i can go over to storage to find the stuff, then it's time for shellac on the cabinet
01:49 PM * roycroft might actually be able to work on installing electronics this weekend
02:24 PM _unreal_: BOOM BOOM shakes the room got to love privet fireworks and south florida
03:23 PM roycroft: success! i found my box of welder accessories
03:23 PM roycroft: now i can post the welder again and hopefully have it go away soon
03:41 PM roycroft: and now to give my controller cabinet a good shellacking
03:58 PM xxcoder: briefly misread that as good shreking
04:35 PM _unreal_: ?how does one give a good shreking
04:35 PM * _unreal_ ponders
04:35 PM _unreal_: found a few more things for the office
04:36 PM _unreal_: I think I know where the cnc netbook is
04:36 PM _unreal_: and if its where I think it is... its burried badly in the storage unit
04:36 PM _unreal_: sigh
04:37 PM _unreal_: sucks that everything I need is in the back of the storage units. and everything that needs to go in on or be used by is in front
04:38 PM _unreal_: its like saying I need the ladder to fix the ceiling. And then stating the ladder I need is above in the attic which requires a ladder to get.
04:38 PM _unreal_: PHarkkk!
04:40 PM _unreal_: amazingly most of my gc files are on thumb drives which oddly enough I took with me to the hotel. kept safe in my suitcase
04:48 PM _unreal_: I'm looking at designs trying to figure out what kind of a media cabinet I may like to house my stupid amount of movies on dvd and blueray
04:57 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
04:57 PM JT-Mobile: yo
05:03 PM _unreal_: yo yo
05:36 PM xxcoder: weather here is that fun awkward type
05:36 PM xxcoder: not too hot but annoying
05:36 PM xxcoder: sunny yet thin cloudy
05:37 PM xxcoder: I feel too warm, but if I use fan, too cold
05:43 PM _unreal_: xxcoder, I got one of these the other day at work. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with it https://www.itpro.com/unified-threat-management/26280/kerio-control-ng500-review
05:45 PM xxcoder: yeah dunno. I have forgotten lot of it stuff
05:46 PM _unreal_: When I come across my rack servers I'll make up my mind of what I want to do.
05:46 PM _unreal_: I've got a micro rack server setup that has both blade servers and other stuff of the same size
05:46 PM _unreal_: media server maybe with internet source...
05:47 PM _unreal_: though If I am to do that I'd prob put it in the garage
05:47 PM _unreal_: I've got the perfect closet in the house I could use but I just dont really want a noisy server cluster inside the house
05:48 PM _unreal_: If I can avoid it
06:17 PM roycroft: i just discovered that my dining room table has a top
06:17 PM roycroft: i have not seen that since i moved here
06:18 PM roycroft: i have some leather work to do that requires a decent sizse flat surface for cutting out pieces
06:18 PM roycroft: and since my shop is full of another project right now i can't use the bench out there
06:18 PM roycroft: so i decided it was time to start unpacking and organizing things in the dining room
06:19 PM roycroft: i am certain that my cats will soon discover the new, large, elevated flat surface, and they will rejoice
06:36 PM xxcoder: lol
06:36 PM xxcoder: they need a cat tower
07:25 PM rdtsc: get 'a buildin'
07:56 PM JT-Mobile: whew
08:02 PM xxcoder: had fun 4th?
08:06 PM xxcoder: buying used wind turbine. interesting https://youtu.be/YbjWWM4a4Vk
08:06 PM JT-Mobile: didn't do much just drove to Collinsville IL and had dinner
08:07 PM xxcoder: cool. dont have any plans myself
08:08 PM JT-Mobile: going to track the C8 tomorrow to benefit autistic children
08:08 PM xxcoder: nice
08:08 PM JT-Mobile: the main guy in the club has two autistic boys
08:09 PM xxcoder: my nephew is sensory austistic
08:09 PM JT-Mobile: one is happy all the time and the other toggles back and forth between happy and wanting to kill him
08:12 PM * JT-Mobile calls it a day
08:14 PM _unreal_: I Could go do 4th stuff but I'm skipping.. :( again... in this case its due to trying to unpack and find places for stuff
08:15 PM _unreal_: so I can get more stuff
08:15 PM _unreal_: I'd love to go up on the roof right now but the ladder is being used to get into the attic and its the wrong ladder to begin with
08:15 PM _unreal_: btw tomorrow I'm going to see if I can get a 4th $ deal on an attic pull down ladder
08:16 PM _unreal_: this house doesnt have one and really needs one
08:16 PM _unreal_: Its really holding me up
08:16 PM _unreal_: lots of unused storage and I cant get to it especially with the 16' ladder being so big
08:17 PM _unreal_: sigh
08:19 PM xxcoder: that video was pretty interesting
09:34 PM roycroft: i'm considering going over to the fireworks later tonight
09:34 PM roycroft: the park where they're doing it is fairly small, so if i go and the parking lot is full, i'll probably just go back home
10:26 PM xxcoder: well have fun. probably lol
10:43 PM roycroft: if i end up going
11:50 PM roycroft: i decided to stay home
11:50 PM roycroft: there are quite a few fireworks going off in the neighborhood, and this is the cats' first fourth of july
11:50 PM roycroft: i don't know if they'll get stressed out or not
11:53 PM roycroft: and fanny is getting a bit agitated
11:53 PM roycroft: clara is sleeping
11:59 PM xxcoder: hopefully kitten will be ok
