07:26 PM rue_mohr: uhu
07:27 PM * rue_mohr has another kitkat bar
07:31 PM zhanx: that is not food
07:32 PM rue_mohr: me has some sweede fish candy
07:33 PM zhanx: bad rue_mohr
07:34 PM rue_mohr: 8-| but... haloweeeen
07:36 PM rue_mohr: this X11 coding is crazy
07:36 PM rue_mohr: I dont fully understand it yet
07:37 PM rue_mohr: LOTS of it is done with void pointers and strings
07:38 PM zhanx: what are you making with X11?
07:38 PM rue_mohr: the CAM program
07:39 PM zhanx: k
07:39 PM rue_mohr: I demand justice, I refuse to make this with something that can just be ported to windows
07:39 PM zhanx: then write it in a custom language
07:40 PM rue_mohr: its being written for Xt and motif
07:40 PM rue_mohr: (x toolkit)
07:40 PM zhanx: supposedly my extruder will be here tomorrow
07:40 PM rue_mohr: :/
07:40 PM zhanx: took long enough
07:41 PM rue_mohr: ok, no torque on the stainless again, right?
07:41 PM zhanx: yep
07:41 PM zhanx: hopefully my lasers show up one day
07:41 PM rue_mohr: you can put a wrench on the heater block to countertoque against
07:41 PM zhanx: or i can not use a wrench and finger tight it
07:41 PM zhanx: else i will break it again
07:42 PM rue_mohr: you need the nozzel pretty snug up against the stainless to seal
07:42 PM rue_mohr: but dont let the noxxel shoulder hit the block
07:42 PM zhanx: i can hold quite a bit with one hand and wrench on the nozzle
07:42 PM zhanx: yea that was my error before, nozzle first
07:43 PM zhanx: after I got it all cleaned out I realized what I did
07:43 PM zhanx: can say that while it was not cheap I had learned from it
07:46 PM rue_mohr: $5?
07:46 PM zhanx: great no updates in 20 days on the shipping of the lasers
07:52 PM rue_mohr: just line gens?

07:58 PM Tom_L: no toys today
07:59 PM zhanx: we are all waiting on toys is seems
10:10 PM furrywolf: I hate my back. I hate my back so fucking much. :(
10:10 PM zhanx: join the club
10:11 PM zhanx: i am still waiting on the VA for mine surgery after 3 years
10:11 PM furrywolf: I'm trying to make room in my storage unit for the router table, before it gets rained on, which is supposed to be tomorrow evening... and it just ain't happening.
10:12 PM zhanx: have a jig saw?
10:13 PM furrywolf: yes?
10:13 PM zhanx: you can cut the table in a pattern and assemble it later
10:14 PM furrywolf: ...
10:14 PM furrywolf: I'm not cutting my linear slides. :P
10:14 PM zhanx: no don't cut them
10:15 PM furrywolf: you can't reduce the overall footprint without cutting them.
10:15 PM zhanx: you can take it all apart
10:15 PM furrywolf: it's hundreds of pounds of welded steel.
10:15 PM zhanx: then tarp it
10:16 PM furrywolf: that's how it is now.
10:16 PM furrywolf: the problem is, it's tarped in front of someone else's barn, and he wants it gone by this weekend or else. this is after he fucking said I should bring it over to his place so he can use it...
10:16 PM zhanx: how did you get it there?
10:17 PM furrywolf: the guy I bought it from delivered it.
10:17 PM zhanx: uhaul a trailer
10:17 PM zhanx: or lowes rental for a truck
10:18 PM Tom_L: may not fit on a conventional truck from the sounds of it
10:18 PM furrywolf: moving it isn't the problem... it's putting it somewhere. I don't have any room here, and it's taking me too long to make room in my storage unit.
10:18 PM Tom_L: get another unit for a short time?
10:19 PM Tom_L: until you can clear the first one
10:19 PM furrywolf: probably none available, and $170/month...
10:20 PM furrywolf: the real problem is a) everyone I know is an asshole, and b) I'm a fucking cripple.
10:21 PM zhanx: furrywolf, ad on craigslist or call another buddy
10:22 PM * furrywolf doesn't have many buddies
10:43 PM furrywolf: friends are just people who haven't turned on you yet
