01:01 rue_house nice bends!
01:01 rue_house crap, those are big
01:02 katsmeow-afk they are big?
01:02 rue_house did you know a 500kw load bank is $30000?
01:02 katsmeow-afk the tires are only 20" diameter
01:02 katsmeow-afk i have not priced them lately
01:02 rue_house the bend photo looked like they were about 4" long
01:03 rue_house how much does 500kw of basebaord heaters cost?
01:03 katsmeow-afk a few inches short of 4 feet, yeas
01:03 rue_house 4 inches
01:03 rue_house " <-- inches
01:03 rue_house ' <- feet
01:03 katsmeow-afk what are you saying looks long being only 4 inches long?
01:03 rue_house http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6597m.jpg
01:03 rue_house I thought they were on a desk ;)
01:04 katsmeow-afk no, they are laying across two of the trailer floor joists
01:04 rue_house I worked out how to get the ip address of the source a hack comes in from when they log in
01:05 rue_house I have to rewrite shutdown to be silent so that I can have it trigger when they log in without them knowing
01:05 katsmeow-afk on http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6599m.jpg , the top is ~19"(?), the backside is ~15"(?) , the frontside is 10"(?)
01:06 katsmeow-afk +/- 1" , anyhow
01:06 katsmeow-afk DSCF6599m.jpg is one of those on DSCF6597m.jpg
01:09 rue_house it looks good
01:11 katsmeow-afk it will look better when cleaned up and painted
01:11 rue_house I been trying to paint my projects
01:11 rue_house makes them look like they aren't made from scrap
01:12 katsmeow-afk yeas, hides that you made them from many pieces, instead of one new single piece
01:12 katsmeow-afk bondo helps
01:12 rue_house not familiar yet
01:12 rue_house hmm I should start building this trap machine
01:14 katsmeow-afk i need to get this trailer done and the hitch on the car reinforced, i am a month behind because of building this ting
01:15 rue_house k, so I'm waitng for a 3d print to finish
01:15 katsmeow-afk it was 4-12-2015 i gave up n them delivering the steel to me, and started the trailer
01:16 rue_house did you tell them to look for a large penis?
01:16 katsmeow-afk unless the date is wrong on the camera.....
01:16 katsmeow-afk i took the whole sign down
01:16 rue_house so the penis is the only way to know your house?
01:16 rue_house I'd leave the numbers up
01:16 rue_house :)
01:16 katsmeow-afk they said they would not let me transfer the load to my truck, would not drop it by the powerty, and wold not back down my driveway because it might break the dirt
01:17 rue_house is there another supplier?
01:17 katsmeow-afk 4-12 removed axle from baby trailer,
01:17 katsmeow-afk no, not at that price, not that will deliver
01:18 rue_house sounds like they wont deliver anyhow
01:18 katsmeow-afk 4-21 had the medium trailer frame built/welded ,and was fitting the axle to it
01:19 katsmeow-afk 4-28 axle mounts done, tongue hinge done, tongue laid out for welding
01:20 katsmeow-afk 4-30 baby trailer removed from boat deck
01:20 katsmeow-afk 5-2 lotta welding going on
01:21 katsmeow-afk 5-3 trailer sitting upright with axle under it
01:22 katsmeow-afk 5-7 collected more steel, bent, cut, welded on the one fender i showed you pics of tonite
01:23 rue_house I got my clothes dryer fixed
01:23 katsmeow-afk taken way too long to get all done
01:24 rue_house dont forget to plant potatoes
01:24 katsmeow-afk i cannot plant tatoes
01:24 katsmeow-afk don't wanna spend time on it this yr anyhoo
01:24 katsmeow-afk i still need to build a plate roller
01:25 katsmeow-afk smaller, lighter, powered and faster than the old one i bent 1/4 " plate with
01:25 katsmeow-afk i got parts
01:25 katsmeow-afk fitting this lil mill in as i can
01:26 katsmeow-afk got steel for it the other day too, and the treadmill motor a couple days ago
01:26 katsmeow-afk internets browsing for parts for everything
01:31 katsmeow-afk my bedroom is ~16x16ft
01:31 katsmeow-afk the boat i have started is 14x16ft
01:33 katsmeow-afk i can put a bed on it 1/2 the size, shrink desk space to 1/2, must add fridge/microwave/toasteroven stack, clothes dresser stays the same
01:34 katsmeow-afk hinge bed to fold up against wall when not in it
01:34 katsmeow-afk add generator, shop tools, fuel tanks, waste management, water maker
01:35 katsmeow-afk add air compressor
01:36 katsmeow-afk ideally, everyting mentioned so far fits on the 3x16ft "sides" , leaving the 8x16 center open for whatever
01:37 katsmeow-afk not that it will be finished, not at all, but thelonger i am HERE , the longer it will take to get to THERE
01:37 katsmeow-afk problem : anyting valuable i take there, must be brought back here if there isn't lockable when i leave there to get back here for more stuff to take there
01:39 katsmeow-afk btw, the 14x16 figure does not count the breezeway outside, which will be folded up and unuseable when in dock, because they charge for the size of the boat, if i fold the breezeways out and make it 50% larger, they charge 50% more
01:40 katsmeow-afk plus, i need to figure out wifi so i can internet
01:41 katsmeow-afk need to figure out how i can power the aluminum boat, and/or the skidoo (which needs a new engine,,,,, i have a car engine that will fit)
01:42 katsmeow-afk if i can attach those pontoons to the alum boat, so it won;t be so bloody tippy, i am thinking of the 280zx engine in it, eventually
01:44 katsmeow-afk if i slab a 2" piece of 4x8 ft foam to it's undersides, it will float up 320 more lbs, but only if it can be made stable
01:47 tsmeow-afk sometimes dreams of not hearing gods barking, not hearing engines rev'ing with no mufflers, spinning tires, drunk yelling,,, and being able to breath clean air every time she opens a door or wi
01:47 katsmeow-afk and gunfire
02:01 katsmeow-afk or as they say here: gunfar

08:03 Tom_itx https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer
09:16 rue_house now I'm seeing a fail from a hack attempt from one address just give up on using other ISPs
09:17 rue_house ah, there is the arduino replacement
13:13 katsmeow-afk the name of the *band* is "Love and Rockets" !!
13:18 katsmeow-afk but the "Ball of Confusion" by "Love and Rockets" is not quite the same as "Ball of Confusion" by "The Temptations", who did that song because they couldn't do "War", which was given to Edwin Starr (no relation to Ringo Starr)
13:19 katsmeow-afk and no one else does "So Alive" like "Love and Rockets"
13:22 katsmeow-afk Tom, eta on that is May **2016**
13:23 katsmeow-afk 4GB of ram included in the $9 ? cannot be sturdy ram, i bet it wears out every year,, what is that ram rue kept wearing out?
13:25 katsmeow-afk i wonder how many can be crammed into a C64 case
13:26 katsmeow-afk "C.H.I.P Teaches you to code" = "you must learn how to code in nix to use this"
13:27 katsmeow-afk lotta hype on that page, scrolling down to find where it blows ancient computers like Blue Gene outa the water
13:30 katsmeow-afk ah... they have not yet built the first prototype hardware
14:09 katsmeow-afk someone just quoted me $12.74 for a 4x8 sheet of 4mm coroplast , last quote was $36.12
14:09 katsmeow-afk gotta shop around
14:11 katsmeow-afk and compare details: the 300Mhz low-tip-capacitance scope probes may be advertised as "x100 high voltage" , but if you ignore the "x100 high voltage" part the probes beat the specs of probes costing 3x as much
14:12 katsmeow-afk 5pf tip capacitance, 300Mhz, tek/hp readout pin, plus HV, and $40 brand new
14:13 katsmeow-afk cannot beat that with a large stick
14:14 katsmeow-afk oh, and they are *not* 50 ohm probes
14:40 katsmeow-afk offhand, i don't know of any probes with lower tip capacitance that aren't spendy active fet probes that need 50 ohm scope inputs
14:41 katsmeow-afk and it is really annoying to touch a circuit with a pf'y probe and it changes how the circuit works
14:48 katsmeow-afk on tv : AT&T Uverse is advertising they have 99% reliability.... i would not be proud of having such crappy service that i was down 2 hours a week
14:49 katsmeow-afk 1hr, 40m , to be more exact
14:50 katsmeow-afk that's 14 minutes of downtime every day spread thru your favorite programs
14:50 katsmeow-afk and they are saying it like that's a good thing
14:51 tsmeow-afk takes note that the welder is not working itself when she is inside at the p
15:12 m_itx gives katsmeow-afk a robotic welder programmed for a huge ass
15:17 Tom_itx http://abcnews.go.com/US/people-aboard-plane-crashed-atlanta-highway/story?id=30901882
15:23 katsmeow-afk plus, if you look at the freq vs voltage curve of common probes, they dropoff fast to 100Mhz
15:24 katsmeow-afk one wonders why the plane hit the median, instead of merging with the regular traffic
15:25 katsmeow-afk on the other paw, i say that every day in regards to cars hitting the median here
15:38 katsmeow-afk they put in barrier in one place, they were still pouring within shouting distance the next when a car ran str8 from merge lane into the barrier and burned to a husk the next day
15:41 katsmeow-afk there's a popular wreck place down the interstate a lil, where humans repeatedly fail to negotiate a long gentle sweeping curve in morning traffic ... "another wreck this morning, 2 died, when west bound driver fell asleep and crossed head-on into east-bound traffic.. the normal place..."
15:42 katsmeow-afk which is really wierd, because the curve is in the other direction, but they wake up as they exit the right side of the road, would over correct and take a sharp left into oncoming traffic
15:42 katsmeow-afk now there is a very beat up concrete barrier blocking them
