03:37 katsmeow-afk <me> begins calculating why we don't dance
03:37 katsmeow-afk <other> why aren't we dancing?
03:37 katsmeow-afk <me> well, i am trying to find the answer to your previous question
03:38 katsmeow-afk <other> bye
03:38 katsmeow-afk <me> leaving so early?
03:38 katsmeow-afk <me> but i have been doing all these calculations, and if you leave, then all my effort was wasted
09:20 rue_more heh
09:21 rue_more I was giong to cowl the mowerbot, I started too, but the applications went all over the map and I was never able to get to that point
09:26 rue_more if biological logic sequencing is doen with parallel timers, how is the speed of the sequence varried?
09:44 katsmeow-afk faster chemicals
12:01 Tom_itx walked into the local wholesale electric and got just what i was after except it was 6 cond instead of 5 and the jacket is a bit thicker than i'd have liked
14:23 tsmeow-afk takes a guess it was black SJ cord instead of grey thermopla
14:24 katsmeow-afk did you tell them how muc h time you and i wasted because their inventory wasn't online?
15:09 katsmeow-afk "The original Orac was a messy mish-mash of cheap electronics components and coloured Perspex. I plan on creating a tidy mishmash of expensive electronic components and coloured Perspex! "

16:25 Tom_itx it may have been online.. i didn't check there because i didn't think they would sell it by the foot to me
16:25 Tom_itx instead of a roll
16:27 katsmeow-afk i have a suspect the drive i tried formatting last nite failed due to lack of power, but i dunno why it kept failing at 11%
16:28 katsmeow-afk long time ago, 15 yrs+, the power pins on hdds were fatetr, and allmy puters were made for them
16:29 katsmeow-afk modern drives have thinner power pins, i typically drive a dental pick down into them to make them fater, i forgot to do that to that drive
16:30 katsmeow-afk yep, i have mobo with bios dated late 1990's , and i know i bought most of these ~2001
17:02 katsmeow-afk stinging cold rainy drizzle all day, no snailmail
17:04 katsmeow-afk i wonder what if sellers packaged a cell phone with the item, which wold check it's gps and send a txt or email every [programmable] hours
17:04 katsmeow-afk you know it wasn't sitting Boise, and know if it's just down your street about to be delivered
17:04 katsmeow-afk or if it delivered to your neighbors

17:38 katsmeow-afk remember the ruemore that the Chinese were embedding hidden malware code in cpus and rams?
18:56 katsmeow-afk Three gas company employees, including the truck's driver, were arrested after the Jan. 29 explosion, which also injured more than 70 other people ..... Among the evidence of negligence, he said, were the use of incorrectly sized bolts and the jerry-rigging of valve installations using wire and tape.
18:58 katsmeow-afk ..... the tanker cars were loaded with Bakken crude from North Dakota and headed to Yorktown, Va. <<== that seems to be highly unprofitable to me
19:09 rue_more I think that story has more holes than swiss cheese, but its prolly true in some form
19:10 rue_more there is a worldwide malware war, I'm sure every windows computer has at least a few things going on
