00:00 katsmeow-afk When announced, the list price of the 5Mhz 8088 was US $124.80.

00:01 rue_house katsmeow-afk, wow, the price of flash will probably be hitting a new peak soon too
00:02 katsmeow-afk because of the fire?
00:02 katsmeow-afk i thought they got some of thatfactory back up already
00:02 rue_house http://www.xkcd.org/
00:02 rue_house hehe
00:03 katsmeow-afk i agree
00:07 rue_house http://www.xkcd.org/1255/
00:08 rue_house http://www.xkcd.org/1254/
00:08 rue_house remind you of someone?
00:08 katsmeow-afk umm, no?
00:10 Lola8088 BWAHAHAHAHA
00:10 katsmeow-afk hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i just came up with a way to make water channels the length of any sheet of glass, to pump black-dyed water thru,, even curvey channels
00:11 rue_house pls forward me a drawing
00:13 katsmeow-afk see, i have all those glass door glass,, and i not going to make panels that big again, because no one will help me move them, and i hate to cut them in half
00:13 katsmeow-afk but if i am making panels that don't weigh anything, it's not a problem
00:13 rue_house you know, I dont know where all the sheets of glass I got are right now,
00:14 rue_house I know I didn't get rid of any of them
00:14 katsmeow-afk they won't weight until they get water in them
00:15 tsmeow-afk has a 1ft stack of window glass bigger than 2x2 ft, and 10 or 12 single-wide glass door, and two 5ftx7ft sliding glass door g
00:16 katsmeow-afk you realise to run a 10amp 120vac appliance off solar panels, the panels need to put out 15amps at 170vdc ?
00:17 rue_house the only dc-dc power converters I'v seen for solar are buck ONLY, I dont get that yet
00:17 katsmeow-afk it's easier, and best for making 20v panels that charge 12v batteries
00:18 rue_house http://www.xkcd.org/1236/
00:18 rue_house hahah
00:21 rue_house http://www.xkcd.org/1228/
00:21 rue_house the problem was older than we thought
00:21 rue_house ... I was on my way to bed and got distracted
00:22 katsmeow-afk hey,, it's after midnite, and http://www.xkcd.org/ didn't update
00:24 tsmeow-afk ponders the solar penels on small robots that scoot around to stay out of the shade of trees as the sun moves across the
00:25 katsmeow-afk each charges it's own 12v battery, and at the end of the day they plug into the house and make 200+ volts
00:28 e_house

20:06 rue_house NOBODY had any info about how to do it
20:06 katsmeow-afk when i saw 200v on one, i didn't wanna, in fact, the vfd was why the signal had hf noise on it
20:07 katsmeow-afk made for a pretty display, but the audio got trashed by it
