19:37 Lola8088 yeah. me too.
19:38 Lola8088 Elijah is still very fill
19:38 Lola8088 ill... even
19:38 rue_house :(
19:38 rue_house there really isn't anything to put in even in a 'sick, but safe' region?
19:39 rue_house randomly stopping breathing is really scarry
19:39 Lola8088 what are you on about?
19:49 rue_house didn't you say he stops breathing?
19:49 Lola8088 yes... but i didn't get the first sentance
19:49 rue_house there is sick, and there is on the edge of randomly dieing
19:51 Lola8088 "there really isn't anything to put in even in a 'sick, but safe' region?" <-----
19:58 rue_house yea as in maybe still sick, but not randomly stopping breathing
19:59 rue_house I wonder if I should go load this power supply up
19:59 Lola8088 no, he's still very ill. I think I slept about an hour or so last night
20:18 rue_house I wonder if there is something that can be done to deal with him stopping breathing
20:18 rue_house Iknow you said there isn't
20:18 katsmeow-afk cpap machine
20:18 rue_house whats that?
20:18 katsmeow-afk you can also detect the lack of movement by anything that can detect movement
20:19 katsmeow-afk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure
20:20 katsmeow-afk you can prolly rent a unit for $10/nite, but i dunno
20:22 katsmeow-afk http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/06/yahoo_tainted_ads_malware/
20:22 rue_house oh no, I just realized if I stop moving I start to fall asleep
20:22 Lola8088 it's only after a coughing fit... it's not sleep apnea
20:22 Lola8088 i know when it's happening
20:24 rue_house "If nothing else, the Yahoo! tainted ad attack illustrates the wisdom of disabling Java in the browser; technology rarely needed to surf most websites."
20:24 rue_house hara
20:24 katsmeow-afk i swaer, dogamit, i give a solution for "stop breathing" , and it's a godd cure for "stop breathing", and the answer i get back is "oh no, it's not blab labbal"
20:24 rue_house kat, your answer was good
20:24 rue_house thankyou
20:25 tsmeow-afk updated the ignore m
20:26 katsmeow-afk that's what i get for givign a danm
20:27 rue_house I asked, not her
20:28 rue_house whatever, can concrete absorb water from air more than 8 years after its set up?
20:28 katsmeow-afk not much, but some
20:29 rue_house hmm
20:29 rue_house shop is still excessivly dry
20:29 katsmeow-afk it's got open surface pores, the calcium doped cement has less pores
20:29 katsmeow-afk drywall and wood also absorb moistiure, and winter is usually dry anyhow
20:36 katsmeow-afk i did toomuch moving the shelf unit down here
20:37 katsmeow-afk it looks pretty, and i have the jigsaw and lumber for the shelves down here, but i dare not use them for fear of aggavating the twinge in my back i felt this morning
20:38 katsmeow-afk i don't remember what it's called, but some pricey hospitals have a bad mattress device to detect heartbeates, it works well, i dunno how well it works for breathing
20:39 katsmeow-afk err, bed/bad

22:48 katsmeow-afk i drained the car
22:49 katsmeow-afk truck battery on on charger, car battery is in the livingroom, charged

22:50 katsmeow-afk tv on charger
22:50 rue_house I was working out a good layout for the power supply
22:50 rue_house I'm still waiting on two of the meters for the face
22:50 rue_house the ammeter
22:51 rue_house s
22:51 katsmeow-afk didn't you order those inNov last yr
22:51 katsmeow-afk ?
22:51 rue_house I want a really nice power on indicator, cant think of one yet
22:51 rue_house yea
22:51 rue_house not rolled off the ebay list *yet*
22:51 katsmeow-afk 1" red jewel lamp
22:51 rue_house OH DUH!
22:51 rue_house thanks kat!
22:51 katsmeow-afk :-)
22:51 rue_house can I use a red laserdiode behind it?
22:52 rue_house };]
22:52 katsmeow-afk i'd use a plan diode, try it tho
22:52 rue_house the inferometrics would give a laser some interesting glistening
22:55 rue_bed wonder if I have any uberbright red leds
22:56 katsmeow-afk an on/off switch for it : http://www.ebay.com/itm/200981567583
22:56 rue_bed I think the one I have is red
22:57 rue_bed I think its a bit big for my layout
23:00 rue_bed I got a nibbler, so I can cut square switch holes now :) easy
23:02 rue_bed I was gonna use a rocker switch, but suddenly I wonder
23:03 katsmeow-afk fake round-key-lock switch?
23:03 katsmeow-afk only thing rockers are good for is most aminals cannot actuate them, but cats and dogs can flip many toggles down
23:04 katsmeow-afk rockers with lites in the handles can be misleading as to where they are, in the dark
23:12 katsmeow-afk i wanna whack my body up side it's processor, for craving sweets the way it is atm, because i have none to feed it
23:25 katsmeow-afk there is NO SUCH WORD "brekfist"
23:31 rue_bed hmm, what if I took and make a rotary switch with a clear plastic shaft that was backlit?
23:31 rue_bed to a clear knob
23:31 katsmeow-afk it's too flexible, i tired, use a steel/alum tube instead
23:32 katsmeow-afk you can run wires up the tube and put the led up under the knob where it's best
23:32 katsmeow-afk hobby stores have hollow steel, so do auto parts stores
23:35 tsmeow-afk shows rue her collection of lexan dowel, stainless steel welding rod, tubings, and sc
23:36 katsmeow-afk you saw the knob i put a ps2 port in?
23:37 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/images/benchpsu/DSCF2770m.jpg
23:37 katsmeow-afk 12mm knob
23:38 katsmeow-afk what i cannot find either is a panel bushing to hold plastic dowel without wearing a groove in it
23:53 katsmeow-afk Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- A long era in U.S. aviation is ending. The last Douglas Aircraft DC-9 airplane in the U.S. commercial fleet makes its final journey Monday. The DC-9 was a revolution when it was unveiled -- fast, comfortable and functional -- and one of the first commercial jets able to take off and land on short runways.
