01:28 katsmeow "Rue Mohr was arrested at the grocers yesterday when his robot climbed out of the pickup truck and calmly strode into the store to remind Mr Mohr to buy peanut butter."
01:30 katsmeow "this store has a posted "no robots" sign, but the robot said it could not read the sign. Mr Mohr was heard asking the robot if it knew why it was given a cell phone."
01:31 katsmeow "the robot was silent and when the question was repeated, the robot shuffed it's feet, abrading the concrete to the tune of $1250."
01:35 katsmeow "altho the robot did no other damages, several people fainted and were run over by traffic, or ran into the road to escape and were hit. All went to hospital by local ambulance."

08:20 rue_bed it looks like one of the old mecha warrior ones, but not
08:39 m_itx makes rue_bed a fresh pot of
12:26 katsmeow-afk rue : [21:55] <katsmeow> if it's electric, you ave tons of battery power, i suggest mounting some motor and camshaft and moveable plate to make deep bass sounds like the robots on Terminator: Salvation
12:27 katsmeow-afk http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438488/
12:37 katsmeow-afk Tom, i saw that long ago, but it's only one servo per finger, is that enough?
12:39 katsmeow-afk compare to the work done by Festo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXpp4NHfpm4&feature=endscreen&NR=1
13:20 katsmeow-afk the earlier 7603 went for $64, for those that missed it, here is one like i'd sell : http://www.ebay.com/itm/290859845914 (but i'd throw in a set of new probes too) (note the display is blurry because the intensity is cranked up to max)
13:21 katsmeow-afk the 7B81 is an oddball tb, i'd sell with a 7B53A
13:21 katsmeow-afk umm, one of those 7A18 on that sale has trashed buttons
13:25 katsmeow-afk if i lived in upstate Ohio, i'd buy this for $20 and drive over to pick it up : http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEKTRONIX-7603-OSCILLOSCOPE-/350711556641 , because it's prolly 98% working fine
13:27 katsmeow-afk woah, great deal if you have a scope farm and need 7A26's, working or for parts : http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-TEKTRONIX-DUAL-TRACE-AMPLIFIER-PLUG-MODULES-7A26-7A18-/290859845968
13:28 katsmeow-afk keep in mind that virtually no one buys that many like that without plans to re-sell them for more $$ , but the shipping cost is super low, so profit is quite possible

14:29 katsmeow-afk Ok, i am clueless. I'll back out of the "If you wish to be involved in this project..." part as well, even tho i did parse the entire wikipedia article download and discovered this problem. I'll just work around the various issues (bugs or features) without contributing my time or fixes.
14:29 katsmeow-afk ----------
14:29 katsmeow-afk the end
14:30 tsmeow-afk shrugs and remains clueless about hu
16:24 katsmeow-afk The French government believes that the sale of horsemeat labelled as beef went on for six months and involved about 750 tonnes of meat.
16:24 katsmeow-afk Spanghero imported meat from Romania and sold it on to another company, Comigel, which made frozen ready meals at its factory in Luxembourg.
16:24 katsmeow-afk French Consumer Affairs Minister Benoit Hamon said the meat had left Romania clearly and correctly labelled as horse. It was afterwards that it was relabelled as beef.
16:27 katsmeow-afk "We have to remember at one point, before railways, horses were the main means of transport. You don't eat your Aston Martin," he says.
16:30 katsmeow-afk skynet is here : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21459745
17:02 katsmeow-afk i don't eat my wintel computers either, but this is not because i didn't eat my C64 computers
17:06 tsmeow-afk wonders when the stretch will be made that "meat is meat, no matter if you call it a pet or not" and therefor cannibalism will be allowed again, it will be fought over in the same stupid way that "gay marriage threatens non-gay marriage
17:57 katsmeow-afk where does one look for the asteroid tonite (from southeast usa)?
18:49 katsmeow-afk On Monday, a 3-year-old boy in Greenville, S.C., was fatally shot in the head while he and his older brother played with a loaded handgun, painted bubble-gum pink. They thought it was a toy. This is proof anti-theft paint doesn't always work.
19:01 katsmeow-afk i would like to know the ratio of people getting shot when two people are playing with a gun and it accidently fires , vs the gun accidently firing and no one getting hit
19:02 katsmeow-afk i'll bet the gun accidently fires only when it's pointed at someone
19:07 tsmeow-afk ponders the responce when a human does something good ,,, "giving them laud" is definitely ancient, "applauding them" sounds old, "clapping at them" sounds like some form of threat of assault, "clapping them" is assault, "giving the the clap" is a venerial disease (no offence ment to Venus), etc
19:09 katsmeow-afk strangely, giving them laudinum will prolly put them to sleep (and who else knew that word and how to spell it?)
20:06 zhanx ok round 3 of my digital drum kit, http://pastebin.com/QRh45XTF
20:07 zhanx my digitkey order piezo's this time, with mux to input and jacks for easy replacement, am I missing anything?
20:16 katsmeow-afk anti-child defense system
20:17 zhanx that is in the build part
20:17 katsmeow-afk you might wanna experiment with a "hardware cloth" placed 1/2 inch under the drum heads, to keep excessive impact from traveling too far
20:17 katsmeow-afk or 1/4 inch
20:17 katsmeow-afk or 5mm
20:18 zhanx foam backed rubber
20:18 tsmeow-afk would use 1/4 inch grid, to stop the child from directly poking the sticks thr
20:18 zhanx k
20:18 zhanx will keep that in mind
20:19 katsmeow-afk well, since i do not have enough data, i can only guess at the build details
20:19 zhanx pvc pipe with hose clamps
20:20 katsmeow-afk umm, Blue Man pipe style?
20:20 zhanx fabric over rubber pads with a hole in the pad for the peizo and link?
20:20 katsmeow-afk i dunno how they mic'd them, only the stage precense and activity
20:21 katsmeow-afk but my comment about the hardware cloth was to protect whatever the child destroyed before
20:21 zhanx and he has killed two sets so far
20:22 katsmeow-afk it's resistant to a lot, including most <16oz hammer blows by a child
20:22 zhanx nice
20:22 zhanx i figured foam rubber 1" thick should stop that
20:22 katsmeow-afk if it affect the sound too much, use the more comon 1/2 inch, both available at Home Depot and ebay
20:22 zhanx weird thing is, if he plays right he is good
20:23 katsmeow-afk foam will definitely affest the sound tho
20:23 zhanx but then he pokes the drums
20:23 katsmeow-afk hard to poke a regular drum stick thru 1/4 hardware cloth, which was why mentioned it
20:23 zhanx so my first two sets are done now, due to poking
20:23 zhanx true
20:24 rue_bed 1/4" steel plate
20:24 zhanx thinking 32 gauge
20:24 katsmeow-afk dunno about your constructon, but yo can prolly cut a circle, wrap edge around a solid #2 copper, solder, and secure to the inside of the pipe above the piezo
20:25 zhanx i got a machine shop to use now at work
20:25 rue_bed how about a connect and dispose of what your hitting all togethor?
20:25 rue_bed oooo
20:25 rue_bed zhanx, clean the uranium filings off before spending time with the machines
20:25 zhanx my boss got to play with elf today so he is letting me use the stuff on the weekends
20:26 rue_bed cool
20:26 zhanx rue_bed, in Field Artty now
20:26 zhanx none of that here
20:26 rue_bed "sure"
20:26 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1%2F4+hardware+cloth&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=1%2F4+hardware+cloth+-shirt&_sacat=0
20:27 katsmeow-afk or almost any hardware store
20:27 katsmeow-afk it's not welded as much as soldered and then galvanised over
20:28 zhanx kat like heavy duty screen
20:28 katsmeow-afk yeas, tin enough wire the sound should be unaffected, but it is stong steel wire
20:28 katsmeow-afk err
20:29 katsmeow-afk yeas, thin enough wire the sound should be unaffected, but it is strong steel wire
20:30 zhanx brb
20:30 katsmeow-afk drat, one of the 7904 i though i cold get for $10 is now at $46 (and $64 s&h) ,,, it may really be worth $1000, but it's already outside what i can spend on it :-((
20:32 katsmeow-afk rue, this has been on ebay for months, praps you can get it for nothing : http://www.ebay.com/itm/110543659853
20:32 katsmeow-afk 13amp 230vac out, prolly easy to rewire taps for 120vac@26amps
20:33 katsmeow-afk something not right witht hat
20:33 tsmeow-afk shrugs, yep, it is r
20:33 katsmeow-afk 3kw
20:36 katsmeow-afk in the olden daze, they'd push a some commutator rings and a set of slip rings onto a shaft, some complex wiring tween them, and spin it at 3600 rpm , connect some batetries, and make a stepped 60hz sorta-sinewave
20:37 katsmeow-afk in the real olden daze, they's run a dc motor turning an ac generator,, many elevators for decades used an ac motor to turn a dc genny
20:40 katsmeow-afk rue, did you ever figure the btu gain orlost by sticks of emt with assorted temperatures of water in them?
20:55 tsmeow-afk wonders what she did wrong this time to shut down the channel a
21:01 zhanx ok digikey stuff ordered
21:01 katsmeow-afk where do i look to see the asterod tonite?
21:01 zhanx tomorrow i will get the hardware i guess
21:04 tsmeow-afk ponders a rope hung from 50ft up, and a 3D printhead on a 5x10ft XY table, pointing *up*, first printing fingers on the rope, then hands, then arms, then the rest of the robot as the arms climb up the
21:05 zhanx that would be epic
21:06 katsmeow-afk amazing to watch
21:06 zhanx yes
21:07 zhanx top down printing and just move the rope
21:07 katsmeow-afk how would the feet be attached tot he rope?
21:08 katsmeow-afk oh,, heh, nm
21:08 zhanx rope hooked over feet
23:05 katsmeow-afk Q: What date and what time will the asteroid be closest to Earth?
23:05 katsmeow-afk A: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be closest to Earth on Feb. 15 at approximately 19:24 UTC (2:24 p.m. EST

23:38 katsmeow For those not familiar with the cultural phenomenon that is Horse_ebooks, you're in for a treat. The Twitter account is, essentially, a spambot originally designed by a Russian web developer to promote online books. It will often post snippets of text, always out of context and nonsensical, often unintentionally poignant.
23:38 katsmeow "Okc_ebooks" is a Tumblr that features online conversations between a good-looking "young lady" who is really just quoting from Horse_ebooks, and a series of allegedly real men from OK Cupid, who don't seem to get that they are talking to a spambot.
