[00:16:49] <rue_house> its about having one can of spray glue on a shelf with nothing but spray oil
[00:17:08] <rue_house> but its not an oil shelf, its a can shelf
[00:17:24] <rue_house> it just happens that oil is about the only thing left on it
[00:17:46] <The_Jester> its purpose has evolved
[00:17:56] * rue_house glares at __m00n___ THIS IS A MISTAKE I'M WAITING TO SEE YOU MAKE
[00:18:01] <rue_house> hi
[00:18:06] <The_Jester> hi
[00:18:29] <rue_house> I was hoping to see you again this weekend
[00:18:34] <rue_house> oh well, over now
[00:18:42] <rue_house> I cease to exist for the next 5 days
[00:18:48] <katsmeow> spray glue is a great insect killer, but it's not pretty , all the bugs glued to the wall
[00:18:52] <rue_house> *blink* out of existance
[00:19:00] <rue_house> katsmeow, :)
[00:22:27] <rue_house> The_Jester, you should hook up that wifi printer and print the connection diagram for the marlin board
[00:22:29] <rue_house> :)
[00:23:03] <The_Jester> I was thinking a random gay porn pic some night
[00:24:59] <rue_house> then I recon it would be a bad idea to print something someone might be able to identify you by
[00:25:45] <The_Jester> i dont think there would be ramifacations
[00:26:25] <rue_house> it would be funny to print a comic every day
[00:26:30] <katsmeow> ramifications
[00:26:45] <katsmeow> ramifacations is not in the dictionary
[00:28:03] <rue_house> I use a vector, not raster based dictionary
[00:29:00] <The_Jester> there must be a xkcd
[00:30:03] <rue_house> The_Jester, do you want to come work on the reprap this week?
[00:30:13] <rue_house> I need help staying awake after work
[00:31:40] <katsmeow> no it's not a special power supply, it's a normal 25hp arc welder
[00:32:12] <The_Jester> probley ya

[00:39:52] <katsmeow> July 4th, aka "Treason Day In The Colonies" in UK
[00:42:16] <rue_house> ah, finally it comes up
[00:42:20] <rue_house> nice
[00:42:29] <rue_house> we gonna print legs?
[00:43:06] <The_Jester> gotta reprint the whole thing
[00:44:12] <The_Jester> im still making yweaks ands its evolving; At this point its a full revision
[00:46:29] <rue_house> http://imgur.com/gallery/xj1niWd
[00:46:38] <rue_house> just me, but I dont think they are doing it right
[00:46:40] <The_Jester> I still have some issues, link ends might be a challenge
[00:47:56] <The_Jester> nope, im pretty sure if you threw a pisol at a block of ballistics gel thats what would happen
[00:54:49] <rue_house> http://imgur.com/gallery/jpRFhiQ
[00:54:53] <rue_house> that , its just cute
[00:59:09] * katsmeow wavers gnites
[00:59:23] <rue_house> g...
[01:04:35] <The_Jester> what was the fpga dev board rue?
[01:07:04] <rue_house> I dont know
[01:07:18] <rue_house> the baords I got were arm
[01:07:24] <rue_house> those ones?
[01:14:38] <The_Jester> ah nvrmnd then
[01:19:49] <rue_house> you want to know what they were?
[01:20:07] <The_Jester> naw
[01:20:39] <rue_house> ok
[01:21:33] <rue_house> 75Mhz, but I dont know the speed
[01:21:36] <rue_house> mips
[01:22:17] <rue_house> if its between 4 and 6 or more cycles/instruction, then its slower than a normal avr
[10:46:02] <__m00n___> :P
[22:07:13] <rue_house> not sure what method I want to use for data transfer from the tiny26 based adc
[22:07:25] <rue_house> I'd like to use 16 bit synchronous
[22:07:49] <rue_house> but the tiny26 does 8 bit, which is a cludge
[22:10:12] <Tom_itx> you expect more from an 8bit micro?
[22:10:30] <Tom_itx> you could try xmega
[22:13:32] <rue_house> nonono, I'm just trying to find a solution I like
[22:54:36] <rue_shop3> my idea of a streaming adc has issues
[22:57:06] <rue_shop3> what if I did a force feedback servo, with one end being virtual?
[23:10:56] <rue_house> katsmeow, ?
[23:11:05] <katsmeow> rue?
[23:11:33] <rue_house> if I simulate a computer on a virtual machine, is any of it real?
[23:12:51] <katsmeow> the actual computer and the simulated one are of equal reality, think of the hardware host as being a fancy Transmeta cpu
[23:13:07] <rue_house> hmm
[23:14:03] <rue_house> katsmeow, have you ever coded a fractal?
[23:14:10] <katsmeow> no
[23:14:19] <Tom_itx> neither are without the electrons pumping life into them
[23:14:34] <katsmeow> atm, i am having difficulties dealing with being alive, screw coding
[23:14:50] <Tom_itx> too noisy down there kat?
[23:15:03] <Tom_itx> it's been non stop noise here tonight
[23:15:13] <katsmeow> fairly quiet, really
[23:15:47] <Tom_itx> i haven't felt much like doing anything for a week or two either
[23:16:10] <katsmeow> it's too hot to work outside, it was 80+F and muggy at sunup, hottest year ever so far
[23:16:38] <Tom_itx> record rain here i think
[23:16:41] <katsmeow> and now that i can finally legally work on the roof again, that's where it's hottest
[23:16:57] <katsmeow> and to do the work i need the elevator which i wasn't allowed to finish
[23:17:16] <katsmeow> dragging lumber and 5gal buckets up the leadder in the elevator shaft
[23:17:31] <katsmeow> i get 3 trips per day and my legs give out entirely
[23:18:42] <Tom_itx> gonna go try to sleep.
[23:19:00] <katsmeow> that's about all i can do right
[23:21:02] <katsmeow> my fear is no matter what i do i willbe stuck in this place till i put a gun to my head
[23:30:11] <katsmeow> does no one know that "the bombs bursting in air" were misfires, they were supposed to explode on the ground to kill and main and destroy, so the humans are emulating and celebrating bad munitions?
[23:31:10] <katsmeow> and then they play a musiccal piece by a Russian? Tshicofskeys's 1812
[23:31:19] <katsmeow> there' i spelled like i was a canadian
[23:32:05] <katsmeow> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky
[23:50:48] <zhanx> Not all bombs bursting in the air, are misfires
[23:50:55] <zhanx> Illumination
[23:52:16] <katsmeow> i never heard a flare called a bomb, or knowing of a flare bursting and throwing shrapnel
