[00:24:00] <katsmeow> "this is the first presidential election in which there are voters too young to remember 9/11"
[00:37:26] <rue_house> well, you should see aht I'm building for the faire
[00:37:30] <rue_house> if it works
[00:37:34] <rue_house> I shoudl take a picture
[00:59:38] <katsmeow> "IT Dept, can we get the old servers back, the cloud is leaking in our office....... " http://i.imgur.com/5tSUMsxg.jpg
[02:09:06] <rue_house> ooof
[02:10:20] <rue_house> "I called an electrcian" "why" "THE WATER IS COMMING OUT OF THE LIGHT FIXTURE!" "what did they say?" "call a plumber"
[02:10:57] <rue_house> https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/bb/e0/ce/bbe0cedf6d15a70ff65bc7ee1bbda146.jpg
[02:11:49] <any03385057> that oe bugged me, there's no water cming out of the bottm one
[02:11:56] <any03385057> it's defective
[02:13:28] <rue_house> https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/2e/1b/f1/2e1bf197c34e87fb7905404aabc6cbbd.jpg
[02:13:53] <any03385057> OUCH
[02:18:50] <any03385057> the tank order was canceled
[02:20:06] <rue_house> hmm imagine that, did they refund you properly?
[02:20:38] <any03385057> i didn't verify yet, they said they did
[02:20:49] <any03385057> said store server was hacked
[02:22:25] <rue_house> that would explian them unlisting everything all at once
[02:23:34] <any03385057> yea.. drat
[02:25:47] <rue_house> I had one of my orders turn up today, from feb 28
[02:26:09] <rue_house> I hope the one from mar 4 will come soon too
[02:27:22] <rue_house> the faire is on sunday
[02:27:35] <rue_house> I have to make a table I can clamp one of the large robot arms to
[02:29:06] <any03385057> i like my temp steel table: welded steel sawhorses, couple pieces of angle, and 2x8ft of 1/4 plate
[02:29:31] <any03385057> put 300 lbs on it and it;s real stable, stationary
[02:29:56] <any03385057> i hung another 300lbs off the end the other day, didn't tip over
[02:30:27] <any03385057> and that's *without* welded the sawhorse feet to the floor
[02:32:51] <any03385057> btw, i verified what i told you about tonnage on the rollers: ~200 lbs at 3" from the edge, on 1" wide 1/4 thick steel, bent it
[02:33:12] <any03385057> 200 per inch on 5ft wide = 12,000 lbs
[02:33:29] <any03385057> that wold be 24,000 on the center roller
[02:34:40] <any03385057> the 1.24 dia roller would deflect without the support under it
[02:34:46] <any03385057> or, above it
[02:35:04] <rue_bed> yea
[02:37:02] <any03385057> yu missin, rue, if yu choose to accept it, is to deterine what dia roller will hold up under those conditions and have less than .030 deflection
[02:37:07] <any03385057> err
[02:37:17] <any03385057> your mission, rue,
[02:38:04] <any03385057> unable to locate my TL082 and 084 , am forced to use LM324
[02:43:49] <any03385057> gnites
[16:53:56] <rue_shop3> ok, I built a supertable
[16:54:01] <rue_shop3> for the faire
[16:54:04] <rue_shop3> $100 :/
[16:54:14] <rue_shop3> I think it weighs about 70lbs
[17:41:45] <Tom_itx> that's well above your normal budget
[18:01:39] <rue_house> yea
[18:26:12] <Tom_itx> found some nice code i wanna use
[18:26:15] <Tom_itx> but it's all in spanish
[18:26:21] <Tom_itx> dammit!
[18:27:15] <rue_house> whats it do?
[18:27:31] <Tom_itx> my dos program that runs in clipper
[18:27:49] <Tom_itx> there's a windows update for it but it has some nice newer features to it
[18:27:55] <Tom_itx> freeware
[18:28:00] <Tom_itx> and sparce documentation
[18:28:16] <Tom_itx> so far i found some good examples but in spanish and one was in russian
[18:28:51] <Tom_itx> so i may be planning a complete rewrite of my program so i can use it in windows
[18:30:32] <Tom_itx> http://raumi75.jimdo.com/2010/02/27/from-ca-clipper-to-windows-in-5-minutes/
[18:30:57] <Tom_itx> that worked but there were issues with screens in the dos shell not being in the right positions
[18:31:09] <Tom_itx> and it was still pure dos code
[18:31:39] <Tom_itx> i may be biting off more than i really want
[18:32:40] <Tom_itx> http://www.hmgforum.com/site/
[18:32:53] <Tom_itx> i think that's the one i'm using but i'm not entirely sure
[18:34:00] <rue_house> huh
[18:34:07] <Tom_itx> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbour_%28software%29
[18:34:15] <Tom_itx> it looks interesting anyway
[18:34:28] <Tom_itx> still uses dbf files
[18:34:43] <Tom_itx> the indexes have changed a bit but i think i can still use the native indexes
[18:35:13] <Tom_itx> i got pretty good at clipper back in the day
[18:35:26] <Tom_itx> did more than alot of others around here did
[18:49:27] <Tom_itx> i could use 3 monitors on this project
[23:18:57] <katsmeow> btw, 19v 4.5a laptop psu bricks will run a cordless hand drill, with a few gotchas
[23:36:29] <katsmeow> soon as i can be afloat away from land, one of the things i will celebrate on holidays is the lack of explosives and gunfire
