09:00 rue_mohr yea
09:00 rue_mohr seen it in vancouver
09:00 rue_mohr places go into production and stop, they have all the reeels left over
09:00 katsmeow-afk wow
09:01 rue_mohr factories wont take used reels so they are hard to move
09:01 katsmeow-afk i've bought reels before, for dirt cheap, but this was the first i saw on ebay someone selling so many at a time, **30 reels** at once!
09:01 katsmeow-afk lotts sellers sell a reel ata time
09:02 rue_mohr interesting how nobody says whats on the reels
09:02 tsmeow-afk is pondering a memory stack 128 bytes wide and 128 megabytes
09:03 katsmeow-afk i think they don't know,, one lot they said they didn't know even thot he part numbers are on the reels
09:03 katsmeow-afk another lot they mixed resistors and caps with some pricey Cypress 64kx16 6ns static rams
09:04 rue_mohr the cost of shipping to canada is too high on all of them for me
09:04 rue_mohr MMBT2222ALT1 <-- wouldn't mind that reel!
09:05 katsmeow-afk smt 2n2222 transistors?
09:05 katsmeow-afk it's a good buy if that's the transistor you want
09:05 rue_mohr no idea of how many are left on it tho, could be 20
09:06 rue_mohr not a deal for $48
09:06 katsmeow-afk oh, the big lot?
09:07 katsmeow-afk told ya, i got a reel of 3000 for under $10? i *know* some of my reels were under $1 , but most sellers aren't that dumb anymore
09:10 katsmeow-afk this would be a good time for Tom to pick up all those smd resistors for real/reel cheap
09:15 katsmeow-afk i'd like to find 3 reels of leds in diff colors, i woke up thinking one of my projects could use a few 100 of each color, and i could make it look like a miniature Connection Machine , you remember those?
09:55 katsmeow-afk ah hah, found 200 led 3mm $7 free s&h buy-now any color i want
09:57 katsmeow-afk might be hard seeing them flicker with a lookup speed of 192,000 filenames per sec
10:21 katsmeow-afk rue, yanno, a 74xxx373 or 573 or 245 can be a set of 8 digital transistors, hardwire them to be on in "flow thru" mode, then raise an input high with 500ua, and the output will go high with 32ma
10:36 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control1.jpg
10:38 katsmeow-afk woahhhhhh, real professional looking Tom
10:39 katsmeow-afk i hope you don't regret that one diode block
10:39 Tom_itx with an ammeter i measured 30ma dead short across the secondaries
10:39 Tom_itx or i would not have done that
10:40 Tom_itx that's about as closely matched as you can get i believe
10:40 katsmeow-afk comment : glue or bolt some slick plastic over that corner the nice protective sleeve is rubbing over
10:40 Tom_itx nylon
10:40 katsmeow-afk ok,
10:40 Tom_itx and it doesn't really touch it
10:40 katsmeow-afk comment : glue or bolt some nylon over that corner the nice protective sleeve is rubbing over
10:40 Tom_itx the lid moves in as it closes
10:40 katsmeow-afk ok
10:41 katsmeow-afk i'd have splurged and used two tyraps on that cap
10:41 katsmeow-afk or a pipe clamp with cushions
10:41 katsmeow-afk you can do that later, i spose
10:42 Tom_itx i will or get a proper mount for it
10:42 katsmeow-afk why is one transformer lower than the others?
10:42 Tom_itx i wanted to test it first
10:42 Tom_itx it shouldn't be
10:42 Tom_itx unless some drunk mounted it
10:42 katsmeow-afk the far left looks lower
16:15 tsmeow-afk forgot how much memory she had, and recoun
16:15 katsmeow-afk 78) DDR1 ~all 256meg
16:16 katsmeow-afk 49) SDR ~128meg
16:16 Tom_itx bad memory of your memory?
16:16 katsmeow-afk 67) SDR ~256meg
16:16 katsmeow-afk total:
16:16 Tom_itx DDR3 800?
16:16 katsmeow-afk 194 chips, ~25.6 gigabytes
16:17 katsmeow-afk ~42) DDR2 ~21.5gigs
16:18 katsmeow-afk total gigs ~ 47
16:18 katsmeow-afk and know what? half of that i cannot get sockets for
16:20 katsmeow-afk but at 194 modules, that's 1,550 chips at least as fast as 10ns, 16/2/64megs deep x 8bits
16:20 katsmeow-afk got a project for them?
16:20 Tom_itx DDR3 800 fit my atom
16:21 Tom_itx i wanna get another atom but i dunno who's gonna fund it
16:21 katsmeow-afk i have no ddr3, i have no mobo that young or fast
16:21 Tom_itx me either except that one
16:21 Tom_itx and i got it for my mill
16:21 Tom_itx but kinda like it
16:22 Tom_itx http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121442
16:22 Tom_itx sad to say it's the best pc i have
16:23 tsmeow-afk
16:29 zhanx modded my old smart phone via hack a day to be a web server, next up adding it in my sensor network for the garden
16:34 tsmeow-afk nods some
16:34 zhanx http://67.249.21.86/
16:34 zhanx its a start
16:34 katsmeow-afk This is from my phone and is a test page! This will soon have details on my sensor network
16:35 zhanx getting the phone on dynDns now
16:37 zhanx what it costs now to use it?
16:37 katsmeow-afk i dunno
16:37 katsmeow-afk afk to check mail
16:44 zhanx http://johnsphone.no-ip.org/
16:44 zhanx there phone is a webserver and will auto update its ipadress
16:49 katsmeow-afk suppose you had a tank 1/3 full of water, and on the top inside the tank, you had a sprinkler you could spray 800F oil onto the water, of course there is a hole at the top of the tank for steam to exit,,,, how do you keep the oil from exiting too?
16:53 zhanx a piece of s tube from a sink?
16:54 katsmeow-afk where?
16:56 katsmeow-afk http://johnsphone.no-ip.org/ is just a dir listing
16:57 katsmeow-afk I understand it was "for parts or repair", i also read "Unit powers on.
16:57 katsmeow-afk When powered on; display screen, buttons, and knobs are all responsive".
16:57 katsmeow-afk However, the display is NOT responsive, there is NO trace to respond to the
16:57 katsmeow-afk "beam find" button, or to the "trace intensity" knob, or to the "readout
16:57 katsmeow-afk intensity" knob.
16:57 katsmeow-afk Therefor it is incorrect to say "display screen, buttons,
16:57 katsmeow-afk and knobs are all responsive" in the description of the unit. I even put a
16:57 katsmeow-afk 7B53A and a 7A26 into the unit to see if that would make signals inside to
16:57 katsmeow-afk enable the trace, but no luck.
16:58 katsmeow-afk some humans, i swear, must have a timer to spout random words as if they have no meaning
17:01 zhanx i was adding content
17:01 zhanx try it now
17:01 katsmeow-afk which one?
17:02 zhanx http://johnsphone.no-ip.org/
17:02 zhanx for you oil recovery, a side vent would be best,
17:03 katsmeow-afk The Thought of a Sensor
17:03 katsmeow-afk This is currently a work in process being served off my old droid incredible.
17:03 zhanx see it works
17:03 zhanx and then maybe a cooling tank to a oil/separator
17:04 katsmeow-afk the oil is supposed to fall to the bottom and drain out there, but the boiling water wil froth it up and blow it out the steam vent with the supersonic 1200psi steam
17:04 katsmeow-afk ah, i do not want the steam cooled
17:04 katsmeow-afk or the oil, if possible
17:04 katsmeow-afk and steam will blast the oil right thru a P-trap like under a sink
17:05 katsmeow-afk Released under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic. In other words, do with it what you please; but please leave the link if you'd be so kind :)
17:06 katsmeow-afk bugs in the code for easy googling to see who is using it : <div class="topNaviagationLink">
17:07 zhanx yea i just snagged a free template to see of the phone can handle serving it
17:08 zhanx testing is all
17:08 tsmeow-afk nods, that's understand
17:08 zhanx installing debian on the phone now so i can have more of a linux backend and then will try install mySQL and see i can get php up and running
17:09 katsmeow-afk sheesh, the poor phone!
17:09 zhanx well its a computer now
17:09 zhanx it has the phone hardware but i didnt install the phone dialing software
19:55 katsmeow-afk the question is, is someone bidding $200 each because they say "Heathkit" on the side, or because of what they can do, or because of their looks?
20:35 Tom_itx or any of the above
