00:18 katsmeow-afk hello
00:19 tsmeow-afk plays a Seinfeld show where there's added gratuitous laugh/clap track overdubs every 5 sec

00:29 rue_house katsmeow-afk, ^^
00:30 katsmeow-afk bad url?
00:30 rue_house damn I closed it
00:31 katsmeow-afk it went to youtube.com and had something about smaug
00:31 rue_house I trim the junk off the end, it must have been needed
00:31 rue_house its an air bearing video
00:32 katsmeow-afk was definately not an air bearing
00:32 katsmeow-afk why did i wanna see an air bearing?
00:36 rue_house it was just something I thought youd find interesting
00:36 rue_house Lola8088, hows he doing?
00:36 katsmeow-afk new design?
00:36 rue_house dunno
00:36 katsmeow-afk do a "undo tab close"
00:37 tsmeow-afk looks sad she misse
00:40 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqWiRqY0FsU&list=PLE5139023F70C6600
00:41 katsmeow-afk thanks, gotta dl it, it crashes in the browser
00:49 Lolina8088 hives on and off... there might be a signifigant chance he has a virus that can cause kidney failure. I have to take him back to the dr on Tues.
00:49 katsmeow-afk no sound, i have no clue what he is talking about
00:49 rue_house its an air based bearing
00:49 katsmeow-afk yeas
00:49 rue_house Lola8088, !! whats hives? I thought that was from bug attack?
00:50 rue_house or alergic reaction
00:50 katsmeow-afk hives is an alergic responce
00:51 Lolina8088 hives are what you get from an alergic reaction. I took him back to emerg yesterday because his feet were swollen. there's a chance that it's a virus, if it develops in a certin pattern, then I will be admitting him to the hospital
00:51 katsmeow-afk rue, so they have a ridgid spong with high pressure air in it?
00:54 rue_house I... think so...
00:55 rue_house Lola8088, does he have any known alergic reactions?
00:55 Lolina8088 no, none
00:55 rue_house and what happened with the plumbing?
00:55 katsmeow-afk how do they make the sponge?
00:55 Lolina8088 doug fixed it
00:55 rue_house dunno, I'm wondering if its fiber based
00:55 rue_house Lola8088, what was the fix then?
00:56 Lolina8088 I don't know, he dealt with it... I was taking care of elijah
00:56 rue_house Lola8088, was it just a fresh water leak?
00:56 katsmeow-afk it would need to be a very hard fiber to not deflect?
00:56 rue_house katsmeow-afk, I dont know
00:57 Lolina8088 I have no idea... he dealt with it. It's called outsourcing... when you don't have enough resources to deal with everything you get someone else to take care of it for you. Usually a profesional. he just happened to show up when I was arranging for a plumber and offered to look at it
00:58 rue_house I think I compeletely misunderstood your description of what was happeniong
01:02 Lolina8088 I didn't call you to diagnose the problem, I called you for a referal... I didn't have time to explain the situation
01:02 Lolina8088 I could have done a better job
01:04 rue_house hum
01:04 katsmeow-afk mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
04:11 tsmeow-afk watches the clock creep up on
04:22 katsmeow-afk heh, some dope bid up 1pcs Ultrasonic Module HC-SR04 to $1.55 when the buy-it-now prices are $1.33
04:25 katsmeow-afk Details about Tektronix 7250 6-GHz 50-ps/Div Transient Digitizing For Repair or Parts
04:25 katsmeow-afk US $11,995.95 + $300 s&h
04:27 katsmeow-afk 50ps = 0.00000000005 ths of a second , which is actually 20Ghz

06:40 katsmeow-afk in the world of cold hard cash, they dipped it in liquid nitrogen for a minute before throwing it the people......... many were hospitalised because of the cold hard paper cuts, and frostbite

07:12 Tom_itx still up ehh?

07:12 katsmeow-afk ================================
07:12 katsmeow-afk sadly, yeas
07:13 katsmeow-afk been cleaning and stuff
07:13 katsmeow-afk sorting, reading
07:13 katsmeow-afk tv weather is trying to shoot down me tryingto pour cement today, they say tonite it will be in the teens again
07:15 katsmeow-afk i dunno why rue isn't using the exhaust gas temperature probes to determine there is fire in the boiler, they are pretty cheap as long as they don't say "exhaust gas temperature" or "EGT" on them
07:16 katsmeow-afk gotta say tho, $2.24 was a score for a 3m stainless with 100mm probe on it :-)
07:18 katsmeow-afk i wonder if i can calibrate it witout a actual meter
07:25 katsmeow-afk ah hah, tables
07:26 Tom_itx round or square?
07:26 Tom_itx wood or metal?
07:27 katsmeow-afk rectangular, electronic, light emitting
07:29 katsmeow-afk http://srdata.nist.gov/its90/download/type_k.tab
07:36 katsmeow-afk "Shop-made Thermocouples: Most thermocouples needed for electronicscooling applications can be made in-house from bulk thermocouple wires bought asspools of insulated pairs. "
07:39 katsmeow-afk There are three main problems in air temperature measurement:
07:39 katsmeow-afk (1) deciding what you want to know about the air temperature,
07:40 katsmeow-afk i want to know the temperature of the temperature, i think, but never thought of it
07:47 katsmeow-afk arg, i bid 99 cents on 750 12v zeners
07:50 katsmeow-afk i might win them
07:52 katsmeow-afk ah, figured out why smd 3055 transistors might be worthwhile
07:54 katsmeow-afk 100 for $15 ,, i dunno
07:55 katsmeow-afk actually, the mtd3055 is a mosfet, so that doesn't solve anything
07:58 katsmeow-afk gee, sumatra pdf reader really does launch tons faster and use less resrourcessss
07:59 katsmeow-afk erg, mtd3055 is 150mohms ,, at 10amps that's 1.5v
07:59 katsmeow-afk oouuch
08:01 katsmeow-afk rueruerueruerue
09:07 rue_house ?
09:14 katsmeow-afk EGT sensors for under $5
09:14 katsmeow-afk -200c to 1200c
09:14 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-3M-Stainless-Steel-Thermocouple-Cable-K-type-100mm-Probe-Sensor-/111247219623
09:14 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-3M-Stainless-Steel-Thermocouple-K-type-Probe-Sensor-High-Temperature-/251413122927
09:14 katsmeow-afk etc
09:15 rue_house I know of them
09:15 tsmeow-afk grabbed one for a measely $2.24 when you weren't lo
09:15 rue_house reading them is the issue
09:15 katsmeow-afk [06:59] <katsmeow-afk> i dunno why rue isn't using the exhaust gas temperature probes to determine there is fire in the boiler, they are pretty cheap as long as they don't say "exhaust gas temperature" or "EGT" on them
09:15 katsmeow-afk readng them? i got lookup charts
09:15 katsmeow-afk http://srdata.nist.gov/its90/download/type_k.tab
09:16 rue_house have an amp schematic tho?
09:16 rue_house I have a exhaust gas temp sensor
09:16 katsmeow-afk google for "instrumentation amp"
09:16 rue_house its an RTD because the exhaust temp only goes to about 240c
09:16 katsmeow-afk or use any good staged gain balanced design with low-drift opamps
09:17 katsmeow-afk but you wanted to sense the *fire*
09:17 rue_house oh yea
09:17 rue_house ooh yea
09:17 rue_house hmm
09:18 katsmeow-afk the diesels with turbo can get over 900c if you aren't carefull when under load, and that sorta trashes the turbo and valves and things
09:24 katsmeow-afk well, i got room for the vic20 and the 64 side by side on the desk
09:24 katsmeow-afk overhed shaded liting, space for mnitors and accessories
09:25 katsmeow-afk the goal is to monitor the vic 20 with the c64 as i turn the vic20 into a cray xmp32 supercomputer
09:26 katsmeow-afk then retro add some of the stuff off the vic to the c64, so when i wanna test a pwm servo i can specify the angle via keybd, or a knob, or etc
09:26 katsmeow-afk and do other things too
09:34 katsmeow-afk ======================
09:34 katsmeow-afk The storage component is three stories tall. There are no external windows. It’s fire and earthquake safe, with human access limited to one set of locked doors. It’s possibly the safest place on the Sonoma State University campus, and it’s called “The Vault.”
09:34 katsmeow-afk SSU’s Automated Storage and Retrieval System is the most advanced technology in library services today, and it serves the library portion of the Jean & Charles Schulz Information Center.
09:34 katsmeow-afk A between-floors track system allows electronic transfer vehicles a little bigger than a bread box to shuttle materials to and from the second-floor circulation desk.
09:34 katsmeow-afk But the three robots never leave and so far haven’t complained.
09:34 katsmeow-afk It’s the third such system installed in the United States at a cost of some $2 million and has been maximizing real estate costs since the opening of the Schulz Center in 2000.
