01:14 rue_house what a day
01:17 katsmeow-afk o
01:44 katsmeow-afk zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
02:00 katsmeow-afk tv says 1000's without power because of the storms heading my way, so going to shut down thisputer now
16:13 katsmeow-afk see, i really have needed a robot to climb trees, at least till i am outa here, $50 - $100 to get a dead limb taken off a tree over the only place i can park my car
16:16 Tom_itx park the car under it and it will be sure to fall by itself
16:16 Tom_itx for free, less the cost of the car
16:54 katsmeow-afk well, the cost of the tree climber forcing the limb down on my schedule is cheaper than replacing the rear window on the car
16:54 katsmeow-afk altho i spose i might be able to use the rear off the spare car
16:55 katsmeow-afk he called, said it may cost $100, i said i can park the car elsewhere for less than $100
16:55 katsmeow-afk he said maybe $50, i said maybe i can do that
16:57 katsmeow-afk i mean really, drive 10 min, spend 10 minutes on the tree, drive home in 10 minutes,, $50? good money, if he can do it 2x a day for 1/2 the yr, $9,000 in pocket change

19:10 Tom_itx rue_house, http://www.vagrearg.org/content/gcmc
22:07 rue_shop3 :) my digital load bank works, I'm testing adapters
22:07 rue_shop3 and batteries
22:21 Tom_itx did you see the gcode gen thing i posted?
22:43 rue_shop3 yes
22:43 rue_shop3 I"ll have to look into it more
22:43 rue_shop3 sounds like what I want, but I want it gui
23:01 rue_house "We didn't call our beer Prem Ade, because its premium, we didn't call it Prem Ade because its an ade, we called it Prem Ade because WE BREWED IT FOR YOU!!!!"
23:43 katsmeow-afk excitement next door : ambulance , dunno anything more
23:44 rue_house spouse A shot spouse B after drinking tap water C
23:44 rue_house we dont know whats worse yet
23:44 rue_house katsmeow-afk, the bad neighbours?
23:44 katsmeow-afk turn out the tube i got for the bearings i got for the ER25 spindle-collet-holder i got ,, i have enough for 2 such mills/drills
23:44 katsmeow-afk yeas
23:45 rue_house maybe their god bit off a finger
23:45 katsmeow-afk or something more valuabe
23:45 rue_house heh
23:45 katsmeow-afk ate the baby, maybe
23:45 katsmeow-afk small gods such as those have been known to eat the fingers and toes off babies
23:45 rue_house there is always hope
23:48 katsmeow-afk load bank?
23:48 rue_house its a 1R resistor and a fet controlled by an arduino
23:49 rue_house I can set it to a current and read voltage
23:49 tsmeow-afk
23:49 rue_house I just profiled two adapters, 12V 500mA and 13V 300mA, one is 8 ohms the other is 10ohms
23:49 katsmeow-afk iirc, we did discuss building that
23:49 rue_house at rated current they are both 1V over rated voltage
23:50 rue_house its not perfect yet, but its working
23:50 katsmeow-afk did you scope them under load, see if it's ripple?
23:50 rue_house no
23:50 rue_house I wanted to know why the open circuit votlages were so high
23:50 rue_house with 8 to 10 ohms impedence I see why
23:50 katsmeow-afk cheap unregulated
23:51 rue_house yup
23:52 rue_house bbl
23:58 rue_shop3 oo
