00:27 rue_house dispte checking my email every day, twice this week 3 days went by without it being checked
00:46 tWorthCr4p
00:48 NotWorthCr4p [11:21] <katsmeow-afk> if you had a choice of 3 computers, 1) a 1Ghz cpu , 2) ten 100Mhz cpus 3) a hundred 10Mhz cpus ,,,, and memory, power use, cost, were the same, which would you choose and why?
15:37 NotWorthCr4p i bought something on ebay, the seller had it drop-shipped from Sam's Club, sam's club won't let me in the door, not for over 20 years,,,,,,,,, i drove by the one outside Atlanta Ga and the one in Bham Alabama for YEARS
15:37 NotWorthCr4p couldn't shop at the online site either
15:37 NotWorthCr4p i won't pay $100 just to get in the door of a grocery store
15:38 NotWorthCr4p weeeeeelllllllllll come to find out, there's "guest passes" available for free
15:38 NotWorthCr4p so i am guessing they didn't tell me about those because they didn't want me there
19:17 NotWorthCr4p i found Tiggr a new home : http://static01.nyt.com/images/2014/03/25/science/25OVER2/25OVER2-articleLarge.jpg
19:19 NotWorthCr4p dumbassed stupidity : The Bicep observations are the deepest look yet into a thin haze of microwaves, known as the cosmic background radiation, left over from end of the Big Bang, when the cosmos was about 380,000 years old.
19:56 rue_mohr TELunus, how goes?
19:56 TELunus Good.
20:01 rue_mohr so TELunus what you up to?
20:01 rue_mohr whats that?
20:02 rue_mohr my backup camera arrived from ebay! :)
20:02 rue_mohr $10
20:04 tWorthCr4p programs the mowerbot to see the truck back up, and scurry over to yell BEEPBEEPBEEP while it's mo
20:04 rue_mohr the image is mirrored
20:04 rue_mohr and its got an overlay
20:05 rue_mohr verry washed out iamge...
20:05 rue_mohr oh well, $10...
20:05 TELunus Rue: bit of coding and listening to the billboard top 100 consecutively. I'm at #31
20:05 rue_mohr heh
20:05 NotWorthCr4p i am wondering if i should stay alive or not
20:06 rue_mohr it turns out if you look into the removal requests to google, you can find some good music download sites
20:06 rue_mohr kat, definitly
20:06 rue_mohr shall we register to that competition after my nap?
20:06 rue_mohr or are you not into that now?
20:07 TELunus Whatever happened to tom-itx?
20:07 NotWorthCr4p i think you already blew me off that
20:07 rue_mohr no, I was away from my computer while I had visitors and stuff
20:07 rue_mohr check your logs, this happens every weekend when I'm away from my computer all day
20:08 rue_mohr you get all fitzed out
20:08 rue_mohr sometimes on the weekend I have a nonstop stream of visitors, it happens
20:08 rue_mohr tommorow the peice of stainless pipe I need should arrive for my genorator exhaust!
20:08 NotWorthCr4p it was important, i was gungho to pull wire, haul out thos 2kva xformers, i was doing parts layout, etc etc,, and then *nothing* from you or Tom
20:09 rue_mohr well I wasn't at my computer
20:09 rue_mohr I'm prolly gonna take a half hour nap, but I wont wake up for an hour
20:09 rue_mohr +- 200%
20:10 NotWorthCr4p as all the pills last nite didn't kill me, with my luck i'll stillbe alive when you wake up :-(
20:10 TELunus Wait, wouldn't -200% mean you take a -half hour nap?
20:10 rue_mohr TELunus, it is possable I'm asleep now
20:11 TELunus Unless the 200% was of the 1 hour you mentioned, in which case it would be -1 hour?
20:11 rue_mohr and could have been for most of the drive home
20:11 rue_mohr I was working at the hospital, where so much as changing a lightbulb can take 4 hours of approvals, scheduling, setup, execution, and cleanup
20:12 TELunus That just means that the start point was erlier than now, not that the enpoint is before the startpoint.
20:12 rue_mohr and I had to run two network lines down the hallway to xray
20:12 NotWorthCr4p sinus spray, same ingredients, same size bottles, $7, $4, $2, then i quit looking and bought the $2 box
20:12 rue_mohr kat, amazing how people dont see that most of the time eh?
20:12 NotWorthCr4p humans can be stupid
20:13 TELunus Well, to be precise:
20:13 rue_mohr the cats were happy to get out when I got home today, but its raining, so they came back in after a few mins.
20:13 TELunus A few humans are really smart. If you're one of them all the average ones seem really dumb.
20:14 NotWorthCr4p local cop saw a teen guy carrying a large pistol, pulled over, drew on the kid, yelled the kid to drop the gun and turn around, the kid turned with the gun up, cop put 3 shots into his chest
20:14 rue_mohr and you cant give dumb people advise, even if its obvious, they just shun you
20:14 NotWorthCr4p it was a bb gun
20:14 NotWorthCr4p painted etc to look like real
20:14 rue_mohr did it have the ornage tip?
20:14 NotWorthCr4p orange tip was painted over
20:15 rue_mohr yea
20:15 TELunus Rue, that applies to average people, not just the particularly stupid.
20:15 rue_mohr if you take a gun into a bank to rob it, remember to paint the tip orange
20:15 NotWorthCr4p exactly
20:15 NotWorthCr4p thing is, it's not illegal to rob a bank with a bb gun, it's still robebry, but it's not a gun
20:16 TELunus It's illegal to rob a bank I'm pretty sure. Just not quite as illegal.
20:16 NotWorthCr4p it is illegal to use a cross bow for almost anything tho
20:16 rue_mohr cops and kids kill kids all the time in the usa tho
20:16 TELunus It would still by robbery, just not armed robbery.
20:17 rue_mohr is robbing a bank with a crossbow armed robbery?
20:17 rue_mohr "nono, please wait, I have to reload..."
20:17 NotWorthCr4p in Alabama, it's perfectly legal to walk round with a gun on your hip, no license required
20:17 NotWorthCr4p why screw it up by carrying a bb gun?
20:18 NotWorthCr4p last series of elections, humans showed up carrying rifles to vote
20:18 rue_mohr WOULD YOU BELIEVE that I gave rifraf I nice big good pocketknife and he said it was illegal to carry in australlia!?!
20:18 NotWorthCr4p why? cannot be folding??
20:18 rue_mohr it wasn't more than like 3"
20:19 rue_mohr dunno, but seriosly? IN AUSTRALIA!?!?!?!
20:19 NotWorthCr4p there's a knife ordinance around here too
20:19 NotWorthCr4p actual gun, that's ok
20:19 rue_mohr maybe I was taken in by the movies, but I wouldn't be surprised if the knife dundee carried was legal in oz
20:20 rue_mohr that was a machette... whatever
20:20 NotWorthCr4p you can go out to dinner carrying an uzi over your shoulder, but not a crossbow
20:20 rue_mohr TELunus, kat lead me onto a great idea that worked out sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
20:21 NotWorthCr4p and i am STILL notworthacrap
20:21 rue_mohr TELunus, a 64k eprom, loaded with 1 bit pwm of a sine wave
20:21 rue_mohr you clock thru all the bits, and the result is true sine pwm for a ups/etc
20:21 rue_mohr I set it up, works awesome
20:22 rue_mohr turns out the pwm on avr/etc isn't even close to fast enough
20:22 rue_mohr so its 8 bit pwm with 256 samples per half wave
20:22 rue_mohr has to be clocked at like 8Mhz, but it works
20:22 TELunus What's this for?
20:22 TELunus Oh, nm.
20:23 rue_mohr I want to see if I can use it to modify a modified sine ups into a true sine
20:23 TELunus What V&A can you do?
20:23 rue_mohr its just pwm, you can put it into whatever driver you want
20:23 TELunus Ah.
20:23 rue_mohr http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/circuits/pwmsine/p1060739.jpg
20:24 rue_mohr top is the sine wave (its rectified for a reason I can explain)
20:24 rue_mohr bottom is the pwm
20:24 rue_mohr http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/circuits/pwmsine/p1060737.jpg
20:24 NotWorthCr4p "modified sine" output a 2-stage stepped squarewave, there's no reason rue couldn't feed the same freq of pwm into the same circuit and make a true sine
20:24 rue_mohr I didn't hook it to a power inverter,
20:24 rue_mohr -- if the fets can respond fast enough -- which I think they can
20:25 rue_mohr http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/circuits/pwmsine/p1060736.jpg
20:25 TELunus I just went to http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/circuits/pwmsine/
20:25 TELunus Clicked them all.
20:25 rue_mohr the high bit of the counters would re-direct the half wave to the other half of the transformer, resulting in a full sine over the cycle
20:26 rue_mohr it turns out I can find *NO* other way of producing 8 bit, 512sample/cycle 60Hz sine wave pwm
20:27 rue_mohr I was playing with the avr and pwm genorator chip designs I started with, and they dont work, nothing can generate pwm fast enough
20:28 rue_mohr --_--''--_--''-- << modified sine
20:29 NotWorthCr4p well, yea, but you have the most detailed sine in the smallest parts count,, you *can* generate *much* faster pwm, i did a mhz clock in the early 1980's
20:29 rue_mohr TELunus, if you should get togethor C code that produces an X window with a command line at the bottom, do give me a shout, I want to make a drafting program
20:29 NotWorthCr4p proly do 100Mhz now
20:29 rue_mohr 2014 avrs cant do it tho :)
20:29 rue_mohr if I could just get it down to 1 counter chip!
20:30 TELunus Rue, I don't write in C.
20:30 rue_mohr yea
20:30 TELunus I write in C++.
20:30 rue_mohr when you see the light and write it, do give me a shout tho
20:30 rue_mohr I need my nap!
20:31 TELunus The nap is a lie.
22:14 NotWorthCr4p CULLMAN, Ala. � In what would appear to be a case of government run amuck, at least two state agencies in Alabama won�t let people take pictures of public records, with an attorney for one equating the idea with stealing.
22:14 NotWorthCr4p Tim McCollum, an assistant attorney general with the Alabama Department of Public Safety, told AL.com a taxpayer who wants to get a document for free by taking a picture wants �to steal from the citizens of Alabama.�
22:16 NotWorthCr4p in other news, Kris Jenner files to divorce Bruce Jenner and the USA is bombing the crap out of Syria
22:16 tWorthCr4p leaves it to you to decide which is more ipor
22:18 NotWorthCr4p what kinda name for a boat is Zaanstroom ?
22:18 NotWorthCr4p or Yxpila
22:26 rue_mohr **oops
22:26 e_mohr stret
22:26 rue_mohr Ihave to eat and get to bed!
22:26 NotWorthCr4p right
22:27 NotWorthCr4p which is why i didn't lift a finger on the $million google prise
22:28 NotWorthCr4p but i did score 128 for the 18th time on spider solitare
22:34 NotWorthCr4p see, if i had done a damned thing towards the contest, and you said that, i'd have been pissed, specially after you had said [19:47] <rue_mohr> shall we register to that competition after my nap?
22:34 tWorthCr4p sh
22:38 tWorthCr4p wanders off, knowing the world is still a fucked up p
22:38 rue_mohr I was falling asleep *before* the half hour drive home
22:39 rue_mohr happend most days
22:39 rue_mohr kat, so I take it your not still interested
23:21 NotWorthCr4p you are,'t lifting a finger towards it, i was, but i'll follow your lead
23:21 NotWorthCr4p i figure anything you say positive about it is just to jerk me around
