00:23 rue_shop2 **without** help from other sources that will screw up the process I'm going thru with you?
09:04 Tom_itx it may be hardware
09:04 Tom_itx i reinstalled to the ssd and it still does the same thing
09:04 Tom_itx it worked just fine with the exact same install before
09:05 Tom_itx i don't think i'm gonna worry with it
11:03 Tom_itx i bet if i installed windows on the box it would work
11:43 rue_bed so far I'v had 100% ssd failure after 12 mo
11:43 rue_bed 50% failure over 1 mo
11:45 Tom_itx did you get one bad one replaced?
11:46 Tom_itx mine is used mostly as a paper weight
11:46 Tom_itx until i need to test something
11:51 rue_bed I have warranty replacements for both
11:51 rue_bed they are sitting on the desk
11:51 rue_bed no idea what to use them for
11:55 Tom_itx i may just ditch all this as you won't care to pay shipping on it
11:55 Tom_itx and i'm to a point i won't be using it
11:55 rue_bed what is it all?
11:56 rue_bed you know there ARE maker spaces everywhere
11:56 Tom_itx whole box of x10 stuff, box of motors, lots of bot parts, who knows what else
11:56 rue_bed x10, heh
11:56 Tom_itx unopened box of x10...
11:56 Tom_itx cameras, firecracker etc
11:57 rue_bed had some amusement yesterday as the ir range sensors I got from china lit up when a buddy started welding 25' away
11:57 rue_bed something to do with the freq detector
11:58 Tom_itx oh i got a bunch of those black IR sensors, devantech sonar, polaroid sonar etc
11:58 rue_bed the 3 leg ones?
11:58 Tom_itx which?
11:58 rue_bed ir sensors?
11:59 Tom_itx devantech were older ones
11:59 Tom_itx ping and wait
11:59 rue_bed ?
11:59 rue_bed poloroid was
11:59 Tom_itx oh
11:59 Tom_itx 2 or 3 different types
11:59 Tom_itx triangular one is the oldest iirc
12:00 rue_bed the ir are 3 leg demodulaing?
12:00 rue_bed well
12:00 rue_bed its raining
12:00 rue_bed my clothes are out on the line
12:00 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/largebot/largebot_index.php
12:00 rue_bed suppose that means an extra spin cycle
12:00 Tom_itx can't see it very well there but the sensor
12:00 Tom_itx i got at least a couple sensors iirc
12:01 rue_bed oh yea, I froze the browser process cuase its idle pulling 80% cpu
12:02 Tom_itx that network thing is an irritation to me
12:02 rue_bed I think the robotics fun here is mounting
12:02 rue_bed all the technology is comming togethor
12:02 rue_bed I'd like to walk thru it sometime with you
12:03 rue_bed we were close and you pulled out
12:03 Tom_itx life changes
12:03 Tom_itx still interested but won't be doing much
12:04 rue_bed I think your lacking peers and goals
12:05 rue_bed I'm aiming for a mecha
12:05 rue_bed I have the contruction tents done :)
12:05 Tom_itx all the SBC's will be going away
12:05 rue_bed and 60% or so of the driver transisotrs collected
12:05 rue_bed maybe I should pay for a crate :)
12:06 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage//SBC/inside_control.jpg
12:06 Tom_itx 5 of those
12:06 rue_bed hav't finished loading the last page
12:06 rue_bed its still swapping
12:06 rue_bed nowonder I shut the process down
12:06 rue_bed er froze it
12:06 Tom_itx why so slow?
12:06 rue_bed its an old laptop
12:07 rue_bed I"m pushing it too hard
12:07 rue_bed hahha I was gonna point out your omni wheel isn't on a swivel :)
12:10 rue_bed huh a retired hobbyist
12:10 rue_bed your gonna get borred!
12:10 rue_bed I'm gonna have a shower whle this works out its swap space
12:14 Tom_itx you may be right
12:34 rue_more I'm not helping, I been prettymuch offline latley while I do things
13:41 Tom_itx do you want the x10 stuff?
13:41 Tom_itx it's hardly worth shipping...
13:41 Tom_itx 3 cameras, firecracker and few other odds n ends
13:41 Tom_itx cameras are old.. dunno the res
13:41 Tom_itx never used
13:51 rue_more well, I'm intersted in the motors atleast
13:51 rue_more I still have those servo mtoros we all got on account of rifraf
20:33 Tom_itx you want any controllers like 6811?
20:37 Tom_itx or those PC104 boards?
20:37 Tom_itx those would cost alot to ship
20:37 Tom_itx it cost me $50 to get them from seattle to here
22:15 rue_more sometiems a large crate can be amazing cheap to ship
22:15 rue_more the pc104 would
22:15 rue_more tho I'v got a pile and not been making many large robots latley
22:16 rue_more if not plausable to me, did you think of craigslist?
22:30 Tom_itx i'm not gonna mess with it
22:30 Tom_itx i'm sure somebody would like alot of this but i'm not gonna hunt em down
22:31 Tom_itx the bots etc will probably just get dumped
22:31 Tom_itx may try and save some of the good parts for somebody
22:32 Tom_itx unless you want them too
22:41 rue_more you sound depressed
22:41 rue_more if you list it on craisgslist you would prolyl get 3 calls by tommorow
22:41 rue_more easy
22:41 rue_more but I would be intersted in taking anything up
22:42 rue_more whats your zip code?
