[00:03:28] <katsmeow> wb
[00:03:38] <zhanx> Made a 300 pound pyinic table
[00:04:05] <zhanx> 40"x8' all rough cut
[00:05:34] <katsmeow> so stretching the definition of portable, eh?
[00:05:47] <zhanx> Or boat
[00:06:03] <katsmeow> hint, rough cut may get real uncomfy to sit on
[00:06:22] <zhanx> I ppamee
[00:06:37] <zhanx> Planed one side
[00:06:38] <katsmeow> well, if you ppamee'd it
[00:06:46] <katsmeow> ok
[00:06:55] <katsmeow> wait, got planer?!
[00:07:27] <zhanx> The bench is 18" wide, borrowed one
[00:07:56] <katsmeow> o
[00:08:23] <zhanx> After I sand it tomorrow pics
[00:08:56] <katsmeow> polyurethane?
[00:09:43] <katsmeow> easier for the girls to wipe off the mud and drippings frm the boys
[00:09:43] <zhanx> Not sure yet
[00:10:01] <zhanx> Needs a couple of months to dry
[00:10:17] <zhanx> 2x8 top
[00:10:28] <zhanx> 2x6 frame
[00:10:37] <zhanx> All cut this week
[00:10:53] <katsmeow> so it hasto dry and shrink yet
[00:11:11] <zhanx> Yes and warp
[00:12:04] <zhanx> But design*should* make it only warp
[00:15:27] <katsmeow> ................?
[01:07:54] <katsmeow> .............................................
[01:18:40] <rue_shop3> ok
[01:18:54] <rue_shop3> I finished the charge controller for the solar lights
[01:19:11] <rue_shop3> it shunts anything over 14.4V and shuts the output off under 11V
[01:19:25] <rue_shop3> that should keep the gel cell happy
[01:20:41] <katsmeow> "i don't give a damn if you need light, i'm under 11v, forget it"
[01:21:36] <katsmeow> i'd clue the controller to shut down enough leds, down to one led per room even, to keep the voltage where you wold cut it off
[01:34:57] <rue_shop3> na, its just night lights
[01:35:05] <rue_shop3> if there is no power left, they can turn off
[01:35:21] <rue_shop3> the battery is big enough to run them for 22 days from full charge with nothing added
[01:35:30] <rue_shop3> so, if its low, they can just turn off
[01:35:59] <rue_shop3> during the summer they are fine
[01:36:22] <rue_shop3> the current charge controllers consumption killed the battery during winter
[01:36:33] <rue_shop3> this controller draws 0.5mA idle
[01:36:43] <rue_shop3> I hope thats low enough
[01:37:28] * katsmeow nods
[01:38:00] <rue_shop3> it seems to do a really good job charging batteries
[01:38:16] <rue_shop3> I have the bench supply set for 15V at 250mA
[01:38:26] <rue_shop3> it all goes into the battery till the voltage comes up
[01:38:43] <rue_shop3> then the extra dumps into a 10R resistor
[01:40:15] <katsmeow> why not use a transistor set up to sink variable current as needed?
[01:40:30] <rue_house> whcih actually, the op-amp ends up balancing the difference thru the fet
[01:40:43] <rue_house> it does
[01:40:53] <katsmeow> o
[01:40:55] <rue_house> dispite the fact its an lm393 comparitor
[01:41:07] <rue_house> high gain, so the transition thres is narrow
[01:41:11] <rue_house> dosn't osc
[01:41:14] <katsmeow> k
[02:27:09] <katsmeow> rue, how to properly restrain a 5 gallon bucket:

[02:28:45] <katsmeow> hmm, error
[02:30:22] <katsmeow> typoed, try now
[16:56:36] <zhanx> Its a beautiful day
[16:57:44] <zhanx> Made this

[17:02:44] <Tom_itx> nice table
[17:02:51] <Tom_itx> how's things goin?
[17:41:55] <zhanx> Not bad cooking out right now
[18:42:59] <rue_house> wow, but if he dosn't space the planks they will not do good things when swelling
[18:44:42] <Tom_itx> who cares about swelling.... just enjoy the picnic
[22:20:30] <rue_shop3> ok I moved moons stupid lawn tractor somewhere it can die in peace
[22:20:33] <rue_shop3> and not in my way
[22:20:52] <rue_shop3> zhanx, maybe space the planks about 1 nail apart
[22:23:28] <Tom_itx> i did that on my fence and now i have a large gap between the planks
[22:23:41] <Tom_itx> it will shrink the more it dries
[22:30:16] <zhanx> Rue I just planted 200 seeds for the garden, which I tilled today 100x75
[22:30:25] <zhanx> Feet
[22:35:41] * katonkiwi is having connection issues some more
[22:36:20] <zhanx> Fun
[22:37:30] <katonkiwi> is kornbluth.freenode.net still connected?
[22:38:04] <katonkiwi> it accepts the vpn, but is now not allowing me any connections
[22:42:03] <katonkiwi> someone set #freenode to +m, cannot talk in there
[22:43:09] <zhanx> http://m.imgur.com/15eHCo6
[22:43:29] <zhanx> Kat you see my floatation device
[22:44:06] <katonkiwi> busy atm, trying to find why i cannot connect here
[22:44:42] <zhanx> K
[23:40:04] <rue_shop3> zhanx-, it looks great
[23:40:15] <rue_shop3> I still say you should space the boards just a tiny bit
[23:40:35] <rue_shop3> I dont know what I did today, but there was a lot of it
[23:41:57] <zhanx-> Meds are kicking in fun times
[23:42:30] <zhanx-> Picking up solar panels tomorrow
[23:42:48] <zhanx-> Need small caps to go with them
