[00:19:22] <katsmeow-afk> found 2 drives that passed chkdsk, not marked bad, block testing them now
[00:21:35] <katsmeow-afk> i have had a 12v 30a psu sitting here, ordered a 5v 30a to go with it, see if i can bunch up some hdd on one mobo
[00:23:45] <rue_house> wauit wait you made a mistake, you said "bedtime is NOT a time when you sit down and write a 1500 line computer program"....
[00:24:12] <rue_house> making a drive cabinet?
[00:24:17] * katsmeow-afk nods
[00:25:04] <rue_house> oh crap, the custom shaft in my heater wore out
[00:25:06] <katsmeow-afk> i think i need a plain backup rack, and asap a raid5 or
[00:25:09] <katsmeow-afk> something
[00:26:01] <rue_house> its :15 passed bedtime, I was up till 3am last night, should I just go for it and make another shaft?
[00:26:24] <katsmeow-afk> umm, only if you need heat
[00:27:08] <rue_house> it might take me 2 hrs
[00:27:10] <rue_house> hmmm
[00:27:14] <katsmeow-afk> i use cheap 600w to 1000w electric portables, one on 600w is plenty since the foot roaster can warm the whole bed
[01:10:53] <katsmeow-afk> gnies
[01:58:48] <rue_house> I almost screwed up the shaft, and the motor core
[21:24:14] <katsmeow> ok, Kraft Horseradish sauce in the squirt bottle is officially worth buying it's hot as hell, makes my eyes water
[21:25:25] <rue_shop3> there you are
[21:25:49] <rue_shop3> so I newrly totaled the motor in the process of replacing its shaft
[21:26:52] <katsmeow> you took all the motor parts off the shaft? the rotor iron, windngs, commutator?
[21:27:59] <rue_shop3> induction motor
[21:28:07] <rue_shop3> the old shaft almost fell out
[21:28:20] <rue_shop3> the old one was 4.6mm the new one was 6mm
[21:28:31] <katsmeow> oh
[21:28:34] <rue_shop3> tight fit, used a 5/16"
[21:28:45] <rue_shop3> almost buckled the 6mm puching it in
[21:28:48] <rue_shop3> pushing
[21:29:20] <katsmeow> i cannot imagine how the bearings accepted the oversized shaft
[21:31:06] <rue_shop3> oh I just slid them on
[21:31:26] <rue_shop3> :) I changed the bearings a while back to 6mm with collars
[21:32:50] <rue_shop3> which was part of the issue, the collars were spinning
[21:33:09] <katsmeow> o
[21:33:23] <Tom_itx> somebody didn't tolerance them right
[21:33:38] <rue_shop3> yea, they were made in a hurry
[21:33:44] <katsmeow> prolly from emt
[21:33:47] <rue_shop3> I missed the press fit
[21:33:49] <katsmeow> or copper pipe
[21:35:26] <katsmeow> i started a " dir /S > dir.txt " 1hr:16m ago, it's still going, the txt is 31MB now
[21:35:28] <Tom_itx> finished my course book today
[21:35:49] <rue_shop3> Tom_itx, :( can you get another one?
[21:35:57] <Tom_itx> already did
[21:36:15] <Tom_itx> got the extra problems from the prof the other day
[21:36:18] <Tom_itx> not in the book
[21:36:30] <rue_shop3> hmm
[21:36:38] <Tom_itx> i bet nobody's ever asked him for them
[21:36:49] <rue_shop3> so the prof is giving you problems, want me to take him out?
[21:37:09] <Tom_itx> no, he's married
[21:37:22] <rue_shop3> ah, so he's doomed anyhow
[21:37:54] <katsmeow> <cough>
[21:38:06] <katsmeow> nice of you to offer to date him tho, rue
[21:38:16] <rue_shop3> *blink*
[21:38:47] <katsmeow> [21:13] <rue_shop3> so the prof is giving you problems, want me to take him out? <<== usually it would be Tom who would haveto "date" the professor, to get good grades
[21:38:54] <rue_shop3> and as fast as you think your going, someone is faster than you are
[21:39:35] * katsmeow hands the steering wheel back to Tom and rue
[21:40:07] <rue_shop3> steering implies control...
[21:40:19] <katsmeow> of the conversation direction ...
[21:41:19] <rue_shop3> kat, have you ever seen wire bending pliers?
[21:41:29] * Tom_itx puts it on autopilot
[21:42:15] <katsmeow> yeas, for making rings clipping fence wire or upholstery
[21:42:41] <katsmeow> i made some electrically operated wire cutters
[21:43:41] <Tom_itx> hope you didn't cut the wires to them
[21:44:34] <katsmeow> no, the motor was too large to be on the cutters, i ran truck brake cable to the handle-adapters, the gearmotor sat on the floor
[21:48:20] <katsmeow> the dir listing hit 36 MB
[21:48:42] <katsmeow> cut #10 wire all day long
[21:49:26] <katsmeow> but even with the motor doing all the work, i had to wear padded gloves, the mechanical shock in the handles as the cut was finalised
[21:50:17] <katsmeow> ...
[21:51:05] <rue_shop3> cant see any pics online of the wire bender I saw a while ago
[21:52:27] <katsmeow> i saw some pliers once that wrapped the wire on anotehr wire, but it wasn't like wirewrap guns do
[21:54:13] <katsmeow> 1:30 hrs now for a directory listing
[21:54:30] <rue_shop3> you found an ok drive?
[21:54:41] <katsmeow> yeas?
[21:55:08] <katsmeow> this wuld be drive # 11 i am doing a dir listing of, so i can see what i have
[21:56:22] <katsmeow> the dir.txt just hit 38 megabytes
[21:56:27] <rue_shop3> I need an ice cream bucket to cast a concrete base for the vibration sorter
[21:56:45] <rue_shop3> so I'm thinking of having something icecream based for supper
[21:57:04] <rue_shop3> oh I didn't post the pic of the vibrator motor
[21:57:09] <katsmeow> ummmmm, sounds like a very small base for a shakersorter
[21:57:16] <katsmeow> you didn't?
[21:57:43] <rue_shop3> its a small shakesorter
[21:57:53] <rue_shop3> its barely larger than an icecream bucket
[21:58:07] <katsmeow> oh
[21:58:19] <rue_shop3> I wonder if I shoudl use the heavy tub I made or make a light one
[21:59:14] <katsmeow> i thought you'd be pouring a 4x4x4 ft cube in the ground
[21:59:29] <rue_shop3> na Id like it to be portable
[21:59:46] <katsmeow> swing by the scrap metals, get a washing machine or dryer tub
[21:59:55] <rue_shop3> heh
[22:00:24] <katsmeow> stainless steel dryer tub for $5 isn't a bad deal if you need such a thing
[22:00:27] <rue_shop3> while I was watching the videos i worked out that the unit itself is usefull for lots of things,
[22:00:35] <rue_shop3> wish I'd told me all what they were
[22:00:58] <katsmeow> have yurself take notes next time you watch it
[22:01:39] <rue_shop3> "Hey, your standing on my oole!"
[22:02:22] <rue_shop3> "its not a standing oole?"
[22:02:43] <katsmeow> is standing even required?
[22:02:50] <katsmeow> or can stand unevenly?

[23:44:31] <katsmeow> why the 975w invertor?
[23:44:53] <rue_house> its to do with particular specialized equiptment for the robots operation
[23:44:55] <katsmeow> yanno, i added water and renued the pasta, and forgot it again
[23:45:31] * rue_house puts a timer on the back of kats shirt collar, where its not in the way
[23:45:55] * katsmeow paws at it and tries to swivelhead around to bite it
[23:46:17] <rue_house> it turns out that on your calf, pointing forward is the best place to store earmuffs when not in use
[23:46:40] <rue_house> er, shinn, sorry
[23:46:42] <katsmeow> i wonder why rugby players keep them there
[23:46:52] * rue_house goes to studdy human anatomy for the night
