00:06 katsmeow-afk erg
00:08 rue_shop3 wow, a crate of transformers does weigh a lot
00:09 tsmeow-afk hands rue 3 2kva in a box, and anotehr box of 24
00:09 rue_shop3 a green scope if fine with me
00:10 e_shop3 decl
00:10 katsmeow-afk i still want a 4 x 5 inch lcd that i can put over any backlite i want, and i'll open the bidding at $25 for it
00:11 rue_shop3 box of 3.25" floppy drives
00:11 rue_shop3 ooh no, its 5.25 ont eh bottom, 3.5 on the top
00:11 katsmeow-afk uh?
00:11 katsmeow-afk conical floppies?
00:13 katsmeow-afk the ups battery is at 14.02v according to the micronta
00:13 rue_shop3 conical? tahts still, they are toroid
00:13 katsmeow-afk cool
00:13 rue_shop3 14 is almost ok standby
00:14 rue_shop3 100A 1mH
00:14 rue_shop3 ugh, why do I have this stuff?
00:14 rue_shop3 think of the power I could transfer using that as an amps core
00:15 rue_shop3 I feel sorry for the filter cap just thinking about it
00:15 katsmeow-afk make an AM VLF transmitter? i have a heavy 19" rack box you can put it into
00:16 katsmeow-afk i have washed my paws 4x since i came inside, and feel i need to again
00:16 katsmeow-afk i think i remove layers each time, or get my paws dirty doing things again, like replacing that battery
00:16 katsmeow-afk moving tools
00:17 katsmeow-afk tuhmorrow is Moon Day, i haven't figured out what to tell the guy-with-lathe about the mill spindle bearings
00:18 katsmeow-afk "here, make it fit"
00:18 rue_shop3 yea, move used thigns to the work spaces and push the rarely accessed stuff into the deep dark corners
00:18 rue_shop3 which is the reverse of whats here now
00:19 katsmeow-afk that doesn't work
00:19 rue_shop3 yea
00:19 katsmeow-afk see, you have a truckl load of prnters, you've never accessed them, by your reconing they should go in the work spaces
00:19 rue_shop3 and the mechanical workspace has a whole bunch of pcb taking up its shelvs
00:20 katsmeow-afk you have GOT to get the robot arm doing things while you sleep
00:20 rue_shop3 indeed, even if its slowly
00:20 katsmeow-afk right
00:21 katsmeow-afk reallllllyy deep drawers under the tables, on wheels, i figure that's the answer
00:21 katsmeow-afk table is 4ft wide, it needs 4ft deep drawers under it
00:22 katsmeow-afk afk to take off my boots and put on lighter shoes, wash my paws AGIAN, and maybe nuke a piece of dead fish
00:22 rue_shop3 "component identified as: capacitor. Certianty:51%. Recognition time: 4.13h. Moving to 'probably not a dead bug drawr' "
00:23 katsmeow-afk 4.13h ? there's test probes it cold lay the part across that will id it in a couple s
00:23 rue_shop3 "Why is the dead bug drawr full of DIPs?"
00:24 rue_shop3 "Component identification timeout: can only find one lead. Recognition time: 12.5h."
00:25 rue_shop3 "yup, its right here, the last article in the log before the power loss is that it found a plug end and was gonna sort it"
00:26 rue_shop3 oh, batteries
00:26 rue_shop3 batteries shoud not be in the programmers space
00:26 rue_shop3 they should be by the electronics bench
00:26 rue_shop3 and that might make space for the printer by the programming workstation
00:27 rue_shop3 welding, what to do about welding...
00:33 katsmeow-afk vent it
00:34 katsmeow-afk rule of thumb: if you blow your nose and get a grey paste, you don't have enough fresh airflow
00:34 katsmeow-afk why i believe in UPSs : nukebox clock was blinking
00:52 rue_shop3 aha
00:53 rue_shop3 I can put the box of wire *by* the corner and it will naturally overflow into it
00:53 katsmeow-afk any wire?
00:53 rue_shop3 all the wire in the shop breeds
00:53 katsmeow-afk ah
00:53 rue_shop3 oh my, I'm an hour late for bed
00:54 tsmeow-afk is slowing down, and if she blinks, will wake up wondering where the heck she is,, happens every
00:54 tsmeow-afk slaps the puter for talking about
00:54 katsmeow-afk stop telling on me!!!!
00:55 tsmeow-afk looks furustr
00:55 katsmeow-afk grrr
00:58 rue_house hmm
00:59 rue_house so now alteast the welding gear isn't spread out all over the shop
00:59 rue_house I need somewhere else to put the aluuminum ingots, behind the door dosn't work anymore
00:59 katsmeow-afk how about the other side?
01:00 rue_house no, thats wghere the broken up sand all the battery chargers live
01:00 rue_house no, thats where the broken ups and all the battery chargers live
01:00 katsmeow-afk sand?
01:00 katsmeow-afk oh
01:00 rue_house have to fix the space bar timing
01:01 katsmeow-afk you know that big door at the end of the driveway, under the living room? put them in there
01:01 katsmeow-afk they won't mind the cold or humidity
01:01 rue_house damn I forgot to do the kitty litter, have ot let them out tommorow
01:02 rue_house not sure about that, they might haze over, its awefull humid down there
01:02 katsmeow-afk cuetools.net ?
01:02 rue_house http://cuetools.net ?
01:02 katsmeow-afk i have no gui audio munger tools
01:02 katsmeow-afk http://www.cuetools.net ?
01:02 rue_house hah
01:02 katsmeow-afk i think that isn't gui'd too
01:03 rue_house mov bed, me;
01:04 katsmeow-afk drat, it requires all the crud i won't put on my puters
01:04 rue_another why do you want cue tools?
01:05 katsmeow-afk it apparently is a total mess of phone home cruft too
01:05 katsmeow-afk i think i don't, i was asking you
01:05 katsmeow-afk but i decided i don't
01:05 katsmeow-afk what i want is to be able to extract snippets, or paste in snippets, overlay, move sections of the music
01:06 katsmeow-afk oh well, prolly not enough time now anyhow
01:08 rue_another oh I thought it was for cue cards
01:09 rue_another gonna be in and out, reworking this laptop
01:09 katsmeow-afk found my 1/4 clear plexi , i wonder if thet glue Tom mentioned will adhere it to steel and/or aluminum
08:13 katsmeow-afk for a pcb driller and router, do i want a 1 inch shaft and collet good for 1/2 inch shanks?
08:28 katsmeow-afk re: music editing : Cream's "Badge" is too short, especially the bass lines, the whole song is only 2:48
08:29 katsmeow-afk i wasn't onstage with them, but i was onstage with other bands, and i remember the prolonged amount of sheer horsepower those bass stacks made
08:30 katsmeow-afk some players timed the riff by how long the amplifiers or speakers could make that thunder
08:30 katsmeow-afk i sorta miss it
08:30 katsmeow-afk 2:48 is too short
08:31 katsmeow-afk some (not all) songs you hear a drum solo in the middle were to let the amps cool down
08:34 katsmeow-afk my speakers were fairly light, they tended to walk around a smooth stage floor
08:41 katsmeow-afk i remember bass players looking into the rear of the amp to guage the degree of plate glowing
08:45 katsmeow-afk only 3 other sounds impressed me as much (altho many sounds have been louder): lightning hit under 100ft away , APU fired up on a "hurricane hunter" 20 ft away, walking thru a powerco gas turbine building under full power
08:48 katsmeow-afk strangely, standing beside 5 diesel electrics as they simultaneously throttle up and pull a mile of coal, and then go back to idle, both the throttle up and down is impressive
08:51 katsmeow-afk i remember suggesting to one player they should switch to transmitter tubes, rated in kw
08:51 katsmeow-afk they prolly would have just melted the speakers tho
08:52 katsmeow-afk 6146 and 807's, altho both used as transmitter tubes, weren't enough
09:07 rue_house :)
09:08 katsmeow-afk just musing out loud
09:09 katsmeow-afk wierd how a band like that can have a couple good songs, and the rest isn't worth the dead bugs the record is made of
15:42 tsmeow-afk rests inside to escape the clouds of

16:06 katsmeow-afk 30ns vs 12ns start the math, do a nop, and then it's got an answer!
