00:16 katsmeow-afk .. Midnight, start of Monday 1/20/2014 ..
00:16 katsmeow-afk hmm
01:52 katsmeow-afk i am exhausted, tired, sore all over, and cannot sleep, all i know to do is keep eating sleeping pills and alcohol till i pass out
01:57 rue_house sorry I'v not been talkitive, busy weekend, passing out, gnight
01:58 katsmeow-afk usps no mail delivery : Monday, January 20 � Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday (observed)
11:16 katsmeow-afk mou
11:28 katsmeow-afk "Wealth of the 85 richest people equal to that of the poorest 3,500,000,000"
11:36 katsmeow-afk the wierd part of that is that if you have those 85 people each give $1 to each of the poorest, then the total given away will be almost $300 Billion, yet each person would have only $85
11:38 katsmeow-afk ergo, something besides money must happen to raise the standard of life, because $85 isn't going to go very far
11:39 katsmeow-afk those 3 guys who lit a campfire to stay warm, and ended up burning down several multi-million$ houses, $85 would NOT have put them into a warm hotel room for **just one** nite
11:41 katsmeow-afk and i'll bet *none* of those who lost their houses and everything in them would have supplied a 8x8x8 insulated cube with a heater and mattress for anyone, instead preferring to keep their money and tolerate the risk of another fire
14:49 Tom_itx same could apply to the money spent developing an insurance website
14:53 katsmeow-afk we are sure getting a LOT of people in channels from the Ukraine that never say anything
14:54 katsmeow-afk like deadline, vfroll , dreamhouse, filament, bordel , etc
14:55 katsmeow-afk osprcpp is from Kharkov, Ukraine
14:56 katsmeow-afk deadline is out of Czech Republic
14:57 katsmeow-afk rabochi is from Kharkov, Ukraine
15:03 katsmeow-afk deadline has been idle 48mins 44secs, has not said anything since connecting
15:04 tsmeow-afk claims it is a
15:16 tsmeow-afk is going to power cycle the m
18:29 tsmeow-afk gro
18:31 katsmeow-afk the equaliser chargers can deliver 8amps pulling 16amps @ 120vac 1-phase : 16bat x 8amp x 15v = 1920watts = 120vac x 16amps
18:32 Tom_itx new asciidoc look: http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/emc/xilinx/xilinx14_install_body_.html
18:34 katsmeow-afk to get 10amps from the bulk charger, i need to pull 20amps from 240vac 1-phase : 16bat x 14v x 10amps = 2240watts , BUT with 10amps into the batteries when the sine is above 224vdc, plus 10amps into the capacitors, that's 20amps
18:34 katsmeow-afk 20amps @ 240vac vs 16amps @ 120vac for 10amps vs 8amps
18:36 katsmeow-afk i have a sinking feeling the equaliser chargers may run fine on dc into them , but clobber the heck outa the baby 20a@120vac genny
18:36 katsmeow-afk and if i must run a 240vac genny, i may as well run multiphase, in which case i don't need the capacitors
18:42 katsmeow-afk but on land, i cannot get multiphase from the powerco
18:43 tsmeow-afk growels and looks for food to gna
19:16 katsmeow-afk dinner has been gnawed
19:17 katsmeow-afk i guess i'll just use 4 caps then, gimme more room for electronics, and put them on gnd so it's 2 on each side of gnd, 6600u each side
19:18 katsmeow-afk could prolly just use 2, 3300u each side of gnd, in which case i could put it all into a 2-wide plugin, so i wasted time making the 4-wide :-/
19:19 katsmeow-afk no condiments?
19:49 e_house tries to stop his head from spi
19:51 katsmeow-afk i cannot put 4 in a 2-wide
19:53 katsmeow-afk i can put 2 in a 2-wide
19:53 katsmeow-afk that would be a 3,000u on the rectified incoming, and a 3,000 across the battery bank
19:56 tsmeow-afk s
20:19 katsmeow-afk well, i can put 20 desktop hdds into the 4-wide box :-/
20:20 katsmeow-afk 18 drives would be 6 3-wide raids
20:21 katsmeow-afk 2Tb full backup redundant with 6 ata-100 data paths, i could add some gigabytes of ram cache
20:21 katsmeow-afk i wonder how many Tiggrs i could put in a 2-wide alongside it
20:23 katsmeow-afk 20 or so 4x5 inch cards easily
20:25 katsmeow-afk The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 � 9.6 in (244 � 244 mm), but some microATX boards can be as small as 6.75 � 6.75 in
20:32 katsmeow-afk nano-atx = 4x4 inch
20:33 katsmeow-afk Nano-ITX boards measure 120 � 120 mm (4.7 � 4.7 in),
20:33 katsmeow-afk Understood as comprising nano-ITX (12cm x 12cm) and pico-ITX (10 cm x 7.2cm) boards, the format was championed by Via Technologies
20:34 katsmeow-afk VIA EPIA N700-05E Nano-ITX Motherboard. Price $297.00 In Stock OUCH
21:08 rue_house kat, what votlage rating are you aiming for?
21:46 rue_house kat, how would you suggest to build a digital number display that is 'jitter free'
21:46 rue_house thats why I'm using analog meters on the new power supply
21:47 rue_house I'm looking at sandblasting gloves, I think I'm gonna take some thick rubber gloves, and introduce them to some innertubes and ruber cement
21:47 Tom_itx just don't feed it caffine
21:47 Tom_itx and it won't jitter
21:48 Tom_itx long sleeve neoprene gloves should work
21:48 rue_house do ya know what I mean?
21:48 Tom_itx nope
21:48 rue_house have digits dancing all over the place and not be able to read anything
21:51 Tom_itx BCD chip
21:52 rue_house you know when you have a display thats digits are changing faster than you can read and you cant tell what the average even is?
21:52 Tom_itx oh
21:53 Tom_itx take a bigger average or slow the sample rate
21:54 rue_house so your saying to just have a underupdated display thats always wrong and might as well use an analog meter?
21:54 Tom_itx ask fluke how they do it
21:55 rue_house I'm just trying to think of some kinda hybrid display that gets the best of both worlds
21:55 Tom_itx well if the data is changing and you want to keep up with it, you're not gonna be able to read it
21:56 Tom_itx so then you're back to taking snapshots of it
21:56 rue_house ever has something that jumps between values?
21:56 rue_house you can see the average pretty good with an analog meter?
21:56 rue_house but with a digital meter the samples seem to just jump all over?
21:56 Tom_itx because it can't keep up
21:57 Tom_itx see, it's taking a bigger average than you realize
21:57 rue_house hmm, maybe a digital with a high and low value set
21:57 rue_house for that sampling period
21:57 Tom_itx because of the moving mass of an analog meter
21:58 Tom_itx it's kinda the same reason a SSD is faster than a HDD
21:58 rue_house I could put a digital meter above/below/beside the analog one
22:23 katsmeow-afk long leather welding gloves
22:24 katsmeow-afk slow the display update rate, AND average the samples
22:24 katsmeow-afk yu can always add a "peak high" or "peak low" button
22:26 katsmeow-afk put analog meters AND digital displays on the same instrument? how the heck do you come up with this stuff, rue?? <cough> http://designerthinking.com/images/variac_rack/DSCF2236mc.jpg </cough>
22:28 katsmeow-afk <coff> http://designerthinking.com/images/variac_rack/DSCF2236bc.jpg </coff>
22:32 katsmeow-afk i just wish i had thought ahead to put wattmeter on it
22:41 katsmeow-afk ...
23:58 rue_shop2 hahaha I reversed the fet pinout
23:59 rue_shop2 this is after I just corrected in indicator led that had a resistor off ground to the annode with the cathode grounded
