00:33 rue_shop3 oh I could just replace the element
01:06 rue_house there, I got one for like half the price
01:06 rue_house and I already have a new led comming for it
10:53 katsmeow-afk .
13:42 katsmeow-afk yes, surefloat.com is produced locally, in Cowichan Valley , BC
17:18 katsmeow-afk since i took down the address sign, the assholes are dumping garbage outside my gate
18:50 rue_house wow
18:55 katsmeow-afk wht?
18:55 katsmeow-afk what?
19:06 rue_house software
19:08 katsmeow-afk oh
19:09 katsmeow-afk i am wondering where i can store my stuff and get at it easily when living on the boat
19:10 katsmeow-afk which must be asap, considering the assholes here and the house's leaking roof
19:59 rue_bed can you set fire to it out on the street
19:59 rue_bed ?
19:59 rue_bed isn't that how they would deal with it?
20:04 katsmeow-afk they would
20:05 katsmeow-afk some were caught setting trash fires in the street, then shootng at anyone who stopepd instead of driving thru it
20:11 Tom_itx that sounds like LosAngeles
20:42 tsmeow-afk ponders a 10w led lite on the rod holder, to better illuminate the area being we
20:44 katsmeow-afk Tom, it's the constant harrassment, i dunno who painted penises on my sign, or why, or what they meant, or who/why they are now dumping garbage there
20:44 katsmeow-afk like i didn't know why the assholes with dogs kept sic'ing dogs on me, when i never did anything to them
20:44 katsmeow-afk i keep to myself, and they make an effort to come to my place to make trouble
20:53 Tom_itx cameras
20:53 rue_shop3 in alabama, they dont have to sick the dogs on you, they just attack, its proven in the history of news stroies
20:54 Tom_itx how do i get recent opened documents to show in win7 like they did in xp so i can click them off the menu?
20:54 katsmeow-afk Tom, if i take pics, i can be tossed in jail for violating the right to privacy of any of the neighbor's dogs, according to the DA's office
20:55 Tom_itx i'd put it to the test personally
20:55 rue_shop3 she's already been sued
20:55 katsmeow-afk try right click in window and select "sort by"
20:56 katsmeow-afk the most rescent will be at the top or the bottom of the lsit
20:56 Tom_itx i don't know how to get the list there
20:56 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, from what I can tell, the DA is part of a drug ring and her neighbours are growers that are growing drugs on HER land, the DA is part of a group trying to get rid of her
20:57 Tom_itx like a .txt file
20:58 katsmeow-afk open dosbox, type : dir > filename.txt
20:58 katsmeow-afk then open filename.txt
20:58 katsmeow-afk yo can also dir /B , dir /S , etc etc
20:58 katsmeow-afk try : dir /help
20:58 Tom_itx no, i mean how xp would keep a history of opened files for you
20:58 Tom_itx on the menu
20:59 Tom_itx START -> DOCUMENTS
20:59 Tom_itx then a list would be there
20:59 Tom_itx i can't seem to find that in 7
20:59 katsmeow-afk i don't do that, i dunno
20:59 katsmeow-afk going back out to finish up some welding
21:00 rue_shop3 To add Recent Items to the Start menu. Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu. Click the Start Menu tab.
21:01 rue_shop3 its not even a google search result, its an answer direct from google when I typed it in
21:01 rue_shop3 "windows 7 recent documents list"
21:01 Tom_itx task bar isn't listed there
21:02 rue_shop3 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/where-in-windows-7-can-i-find-the-recent-items/09a26880-f143-4e5e-b97b-1bef8507582f
21:03 rue_shop3 I dont know what went by faster, windows 7 or 8
21:03 rue_shop3 I'm wondering if windows 10 will last more than a year
21:03 Tom_itx i think i'm gonna get another one of these mb only an itx version
21:03 rue_shop3 god I'm glad I use linux
21:03 Tom_itx 7 is more like the old stuff
21:03 Tom_itx 8 is a flop
21:03 rue_shop3 I know
21:04 Tom_itx 10 is more like 8 with a hint of 7
21:04 rue_shop3 my work laptop has 8 and its a PAIN IN THE EVERYTHING
21:04 Tom_itx my local bud has an early release of 10
21:04 rue_shop3 most do
21:04 Tom_itx i dont like 8
21:04 Tom_itx i have 3 tablets with it
21:05 rue_shop3 why didnt' you get android tablets?
21:05 rue_shop3 like the word "click"?
21:05 Tom_itx i was outvoted
21:05 Tom_itx except i get to maintain them
21:05 rue_shop3 by the consumers in the house
21:05 Tom_itx uh huh
21:05 rue_shop3 so in a year they will want soemthing else anyhow
21:05 Tom_itx oh and btw, i've replaced 3 of them so far
21:06 Tom_itx one didn't make it outta the store
21:06 rue_shop3 ? died?
21:06 Tom_itx wifi did
21:06 rue_shop3 wow
21:06 Tom_itx i dunno what happened to the first one
21:06 Tom_itx ms almost didn't wanna replace the 2nd wifi problem. they couldn't believe i had 2 wifi go bad
21:07 Tom_itx i told them straight out i didn't like their shit products
21:08 rue_shop3 that turned them?
21:09 Tom_itx huh?
21:09 Tom_itx i got the menu to work. thanks
21:09 Tom_itx i had looked there before but missed that setting
21:09 rue_shop3 I made a printed ball joint
21:10 rue_shop3 for tilting a fan
21:10 Tom_itx did it work?
21:10 Tom_itx i saw that..
21:10 rue_shop3 yes, till it wore in
21:10 rue_shop3 then it was too loose
21:10 Tom_itx heh
21:10 Tom_itx need a bigger ball
21:10 Tom_itx more surface area
21:10 rue_shop3 I just dropped a lockwasher into it and it siezed it up enough to hold
21:10 Tom_itx and shrink it a bit more
21:11 rue_shop3 I'll trim how big I made the socket, but I dont want to print antoher one
21:13 Tom_itx i got them office 2013 for their surface and put a copy of it on this new mb
21:13 Tom_itx it runs a helluv a lot slower than the old one i have
21:13 Tom_itx but i had to get familiar with it for support
21:15 Tom_itx i'm looking at the mb to replace this one
21:15 Tom_itx it's so darn slow on the web about all i do with this one is irc
21:17 rue_shop3 I'm gonna retire the holder-upper battery, its been holding up the cooling fan for the reprap for quite a while now
21:17 Tom_itx what hot end did you end up using?
21:17 Tom_itx one of those chinese ones?
21:18 Tom_itx i wonder if china makes a pcie or pci -> sata connector
21:26 Tom_itx that would help the io issue on these little boards
21:26 rue_shop3 I'm using the chinese one yea
21:27 Tom_itx pcie to sata?
21:27 Tom_itx got a link to a small one?
21:27 rue_shop3 there are pcie sata controllers
21:27 rue_shop3 hot end?
21:27 Tom_itx oh
21:27 Tom_itx no i thought you meant sata connectors
21:28 rue_shop3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-Express-SATA3-SATA3-0-6Gb-s-eSATA-SATA-III-Card-/251546089054
21:28 Tom_itx i'm looking at that one
21:28 Tom_itx but for $8
21:28 rue_shop3 I didn't hunt
21:29 Tom_itx well the one i saw didn't have the 2 external ones
21:29 Tom_itx i'd like to find one already in the us
21:30 Tom_L http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-PCI-Express-To-SATA-3-0-6Gbps-Esata-SATA-III-2-Port-Card-Adapter-ASM1061-/331201230455?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1d21b677
21:30 Tom_itx looks like the same but already in the US
21:30 rue_shop3 sure
21:30 Tom_itx no month wait
21:31 rue_shop3 I cant do that, from the usa means +$50
21:31 Tom_itx not if i sent it
21:31 rue_shop3 well, usually, (x*5)+50
21:31 Tom_itx you don't want one do you?
21:31 rue_shop3 nope
21:31 rue_shop3 no machines with pcie
21:31 rue_shop3 well, less the main one
21:32 Tom_itx this new one has pcie 1 and pcie 16
21:32 Tom_itx and a couple pci
21:32 Tom_itx the itx version of the same board has one pcie
21:35 katsmeow-afk ok, all the existing seams on top of the deck are welded
21:36 katsmeow-afk yeas, i ground/wirebrushed them all first, 3 passes
21:36 Tom_itx looks like you can only use the internal or external at once, not both
21:40 rue_shop3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG I HAVE TO FIND MY GARBAGE CAN!
21:41 Tom_itx ok i'll try one i guess
22:07 katsmeow-afk nice thing about the internet is: i can play Big Bang Theory several times in a row
22:07 katsmeow-afk because it isn't broadcast here
22:25 Tom_itx it isn't?
22:25 katsmeow-afk no sir
22:25 katsmeow-afk it may be broadcasted somewhere on earth, but it cannot be recieved here
22:27 tsmeow-afk ponders catching a fish that is genetically modified to say "made in Japan" on it's s
22:28 katsmeow-afk when crabs molt, what do they do with the old shells?
22:29 Tom_itx how do i back up the registry?
22:29 Tom_itx leave it in the tank
22:29 Tom_itx at least mine did
22:47 Tom_itx haha i got the standard menus back
22:47 Tom_itx took a registry hack but it worked
22:50 tsmeow-afk congrats
22:51 Tom_itx i like that alot better
22:52 Tom_L http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21992/show-the-classic-all-programs-menu-in-the-start-menu-in-windows-7/
22:52 Tom_itx in case you would like to try it
22:53 Tom_itx change 2 reg entries
22:54 katsmeow-afk "after months of incubation, the baby sea turtles fight their way up thru 50cm of sand" <<== that has got to suck if they are buried 51cm deep
22:54 Tom_itx you basically reuse the 'favorites' menu item
22:54 Tom_itx even sucks more when they try to make it to the ocean
22:54 Tom_itx i visited a sea turtle farm once
22:55 Tom_itx it was kinda cool
22:55 tsmeow-afk
23:08 katsmeow-afk oops, got a welding sunburn on one arm
23:11 Tom_itx doesn't take long
23:15 katsmeow-afk 24 ft of weld
23:16 katsmeow-afk how does pressure change the Vbe of a transistor?
23:16 Tom_itx no idea
23:16 katsmeow-afk if i calibrate it at sea surface, and then lower it to ~3000 ft, where it's at ~1500psi , how will that affect it?
23:17 Tom_itx i'd be concerned about it's enclosure there too
23:17 katsmeow-afk a to-92 needs an enclosure?
23:18 Tom_itx oh i dunno
23:18 Tom_itx i suppose it could leak around the leads
23:18 katsmeow-afk silicone the leads and a thin latex over the whole thing?
23:19 Tom_itx no experience to offer for that
23:19 katsmeow-afk i spose i cold lower a 5gal bucket with the sensor in it, seal it, then bring it up too fast for the bucket to change temperature, and then dunk a 2nd calibrated sensor in at the surface and compare the readings
23:21 katsmeow-afk or, sealed enclosure, hooked to the portapower hydraulic pump
23:21 Tom_itx if you can get it to seal ok
23:21 Tom_itx bedtime here
23:23 katsmeow-afk seal it up inside a small ram
23:23 tsmeow-afk hand Tom a s
23:30 katsmeow-afk in the interest of time, i just redesigned the pontoons to be U shaped
23:31 katsmeow-afk it saves time by being less bending, and because the ends of the pate are fastened flat and straight, no need to build a plate roller
23:31 katsmeow-afk downside is i cannot use a flat-sided tank to store compressed air
23:58 rue_shop3 it seems to me that positive presssure pontoons with an a low pressure alarm switch would be a good idea
