06:28 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr
06:31 PM Tom_L: got a question when you get in
06:31 PM zhanx: Evening will be around. I am setting up one of these laptops to use with the 3d printer
06:31 PM zhanx: Also I wonder what a Elenco Precision Power Supply XP-825puts out vac at 6.3vac
06:32 PM Tom_L: i want to set up a way to send txt from a pc to a mobile number other than google voice
06:33 PM zhanx: Tom_L, email
06:33 PM Tom_L: i don't want email
06:33 PM zhanx: my arduino emails a text to my phone
06:33 PM zhanx: your service provider has a gateway for email to text messages
06:33 PM Tom_L: using your mobile number?
06:34 PM Tom_L: how do you mark it to require a reply?
06:34 PM zhanx: mine is 315XXX1027@vtext.com
06:34 PM zhanx: that i didn't do
06:34 PM Tom_L: should be automated if possible
06:34 PM zhanx: I just wanted alerts texted to my phone
06:35 PM Tom_L: using win7
06:35 PM zhanx: I use it in the summer for alerts on the garden with my arduino.
06:36 PM Tom_L: do i need to set up anything special on the email client?
06:36 PM zhanx: which client?
06:36 PM Tom_L: i'm using windows live mail on windows 7
06:37 PM zhanx: setup a filter to forward it to your phone via email to text (mms)
06:37 PM zhanx: as requests go, this is something i have do before finally!
06:38 PM Tom_L: not sure how to do that
06:39 PM zhanx: they call it message rules for windows live mail
06:40 PM zhanx: what is your phone service provider ?
06:40 PM zhanx: pm me the number I will send a test
06:40 PM Tom_L: it's not going to be one certain phone or provide
06:40 PM Tom_L: r
06:40 PM Tom_L: this is to send clients reminders
06:40 PM Tom_L: not my phone
06:40 PM zhanx: then you need a phone gateway
06:41 PM Tom_L: so google voice is it
06:41 PM zhanx: unless you want to pay for the service on the gateway
06:42 PM zhanx: There are some low costs ones for the monthly service on them, jesse in seattlerobotics uses one
06:44 PM zhanx: really tom if its less than 10 people i would just write some rules and mms them
06:45 PM zhanx: or you could run / make a program to lookup the carrier and provide the filter to the email
06:46 PM Tom_L: the list will change each time
06:46 PM Tom_L: and i have no way to know who the carrier is
06:46 PM zhanx: https://numverify.com/
06:47 PM zhanx: that allows 250 look ups a month for free
06:48 PM Tom_L: heard of mysms?
06:48 PM zhanx: no
06:48 PM zhanx: looking it up
06:49 PM zhanx: that would work i guess
06:49 PM Tom_L: i don't know anything about it yet, just now started looking
06:50 PM zhanx: check it out now
06:50 PM zhanx: and its a no, I would need an app on my phone and pc
06:50 PM Tom_L: seems so
06:51 PM Tom_L: i could use google voice
06:51 PM zhanx: that or at least numverify gives you an api to use, if you want a program for it
06:52 PM zhanx: since i was only texting myself the mms was an easy solution
06:52 PM Tom_L: what i would do is generate a list from the old dos pc and do something in windows with the list
06:52 PM Tom_L: whatever format is required
06:53 PM zhanx: json it
06:53 PM Tom_L: know nothing about that
06:53 PM zhanx: that is simple enough
06:54 PM zhanx: well heck the new code for my numverify can take a list
06:55 PM Tom_L: i don't need to learn another language to get this done
06:55 PM zhanx: https://numverify.com/documentation
06:55 PM zhanx: its a formatting not a langauge
06:56 PM rue_mohr: what should I get on my annual aging day?
06:56 PM rue_mohr: got some stepper drivers...
06:56 PM Tom_L: another candle
06:56 PM zhanx: a girlfriend?
06:57 PM rue_mohr: thats $15/100
06:57 PM rue_mohr: hmm
06:58 PM rue_mohr: hah, as bad as ebay, $1.80 for the switches, $50.84 for shipping
07:01 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, when is your annual aging day?
07:03 PM Tom_L: so using my pc with google voice i wouldn't need a voip box right?
07:03 PM rue_mohr: today
07:03 PM Tom_L: happy day
07:04 PM rue_mohr: :]
07:04 PM Tom_L: so how many candles should we light?
07:04 PM zhanx: happy day rue, and Tom_L I will check that
07:04 PM rue_mohr: 15337
07:04 PM Tom_L: or would it burn down the house?
07:05 PM Tom_L: you got some catching up to do
07:06 PM Tom_L: google may be the easiest solution
07:07 PM zhanx: yea i think it would be
07:07 PM Tom_L: i shouldn't have too many
07:13 PM Tom_L: they give ya a free number too
07:22 PM zhanx: I can do with out the number
07:22 PM Tom_L: how?
07:22 PM Tom_L: have you ever tried google voice to txt?
07:23 PM zhanx: use it
07:23 PM zhanx: well i get voice mail notified via text
07:23 PM zhanx: but not the way you are doing it
07:30 PM Tom_L: i'm just testing some options
07:31 PM Tom_L: that seemed like the easiest to test first
07:32 PM furrywolf: anyone seen kat lately?
07:32 PM Tom_L: not for a while
07:33 PM furrywolf: :(
07:43 PM Tom_L: zhanx, i think i get that as well but i don't use it that much
07:52 PM zhanx: furrywolf, I talked to kat 2 days ago
07:54 PM Tom_L: what i would like is a simple app i can open, add some numbers and send the same message to them without disclosing the numbers to each other
07:54 PM furrywolf: yay! let me guess, another stupid nick?
07:54 PM Tom_L: i did a 'group' with google and it sent the other names in the message
07:55 PM Tom_L: that's not acceptable
07:55 PM zhanx: Tom_L, look at bulksms.com
07:55 PM furrywolf: email, bcc?
07:56 PM zhanx: I suggested email but he would have to lookup all the numbers to get the email to sms gateway
08:02 PM Tom_L: either it's slow or the test txt failed from their site
08:13 PM Tom_L: just slow
08:35 PM zhanx: my net speeds are slow tonight
08:36 PM zhanx: or ubuntu is being slow sending this iso
08:36 PM zhanx: hacking this windows 7 computer for the admin password and i can't find my bootable usb
08:47 PM rue_mohr: this is really painfull
08:47 PM rue_mohr: a bug prevents me from programatically selecting multiple items in the object list
08:51 PM rue_mohr: crap, the whole month+ has been writing this damn gui code
08:51 PM rue_mohr: and I'm at ANOTHER bump
08:52 PM rue_mohr: the farther I go the worse this gets
08:52 PM rue_mohr: at this rate, I'm gonna end up writing my own gui on motif
08:53 PM rue_mohr: might as well put a skyscraper on pete
09:33 PM Tom_L: ok so if my isp blocks port 80 this sms message program may not be able to send outbound text messages?
09:39 PM zhanx: port 80 is standard http
09:40 PM Tom_L: yeah but they block inbound
09:40 PM Tom_L: that's why my server has to use port 81
09:40 PM zhanx: do they block 80 or your router?
09:40 PM Tom_L: they do
09:40 PM zhanx: normally that is a dmz setting
09:41 PM Tom_L: i wonder if i gotta make an exception on the router for this too
09:41 PM Tom_itx: https://www.cox.com/residential/support/internet-ports-blocked-or-restricted-by-cox.html
09:42 PM zhanx: sad
09:42 PM Tom_L: the program suggest 7512 or 5567 as an alternate
09:42 PM Tom_L: or 443 which is secured
09:42 PM zhanx: 443
09:42 PM zhanx: then its traffic your isp will ignore
09:42 PM Tom_L: i'm wasting all my free tests :(
09:43 PM Tom_L: what about the router?
09:43 PM zhanx: open the port via dmz
09:43 PM Tom_L: lemme open it while your here..
09:43 PM zhanx: k
09:43 PM zhanx: I am checking the printer laptop be right back, its doing updates
09:44 PM zhanx: once i get it controlling the printer i am setting it up to remote it etc
09:44 PM Tom_L: do i even need a port exception for this in the router?
09:45 PM zhanx: I would just in case
09:45 PM zhanx: also you might need it in the windows 7 "firewall"
09:45 PM Tom_L: i think i have that disabled
09:46 PM zhanx: i decided to blow windows 7 off the 3d printer laptop and go with linux
09:46 PM Tom_L: i hope the ip doesn't change
09:46 PM zhanx: just easier for me
09:46 PM Tom_L: they're dynamic on windows
09:47 PM zhanx: you can set it to static
09:47 PM Tom_L: how?
09:47 PM Tom_L: it's been too long...
09:47 PM zhanx: under control panel network settings
09:48 PM zhanx: also I run opendns servers not my ips
09:48 PM zhanx: to prevent blocking
09:49 PM Tom_L: TCP/UDP?
09:49 PM zhanx: my oldest is happy, i used the usb drive to hack windows 7 admin rights on a laptop and he is play roblox on a 54" tv now
09:49 PM zhanx: UDP
09:49 PM Tom_L: or both?
09:49 PM zhanx: both will work
09:50 PM zhanx: if you don't know 100% use both
09:50 PM Tom_L: yeah
09:50 PM Tom_L: ok that's mapped
09:50 PM zhanx: I consider it sad, I have a windows machine on my network but the kid wants to game
09:51 PM zhanx: granted i mapped it to router 3
09:52 PM zhanx: Tom_L, on my dsl router (all i get up here) everything is mapped open etc. pita
09:52 PM zhanx: then the 5 routers I have that are real i configure the traffic
09:53 PM Tom_L: i don't see where to change it to static
09:53 PM zhanx: you should have a dynamic and a manual setting
09:54 PM zhanx: your not doing anything special so netmask for you will be 255.255.255.0
09:54 PM Tom_L: i know, i just gotta find it...
09:54 PM rue_mohr: ok, what I gonna work on
09:54 PM rue_mohr: maybe the paint sprayers again
09:55 PM rue_mohr: I need to upgrade the cnc ops to the 3mm bit
09:55 PM rue_mohr: the 1mm isn't working out
09:55 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, I am doing a dedicated laptop for the printer and scanner
09:55 PM rue_mohr: k

09:56 PM rue_mohr: I need a project

09:56 PM rue_mohr: the cpu died or the board?
09:56 PM zhanx: cpu

09:59 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, you need to make the collars and print the gears, then I'll post the next bits
09:59 PM rue_mohr: your progress is driving me on that
09:59 PM rue_mohr: casue I need your support to be doing it
09:59 PM rue_mohr: I cant keep exerting a huge lot of energy and not get payoff
09:59 PM rue_mohr: I'm getting killed in bogus investments
10:00 PM rue_mohr: like my cam program
10:00 PM rue_mohr: thats over a freaking month
10:00 PM zhanx: ok
10:00 PM rue_mohr: with me pushing aside LOTS of things I'd rather have been doing

10:00 PM zhanx: and it is inside the house now
10:00 PM zhanx: its coming ok
10:00 PM rue_mohr: there is a headphone amp infront of me here
10:00 PM rue_mohr: I was gonna...
10:01 PM rue_mohr: listen to electrical signals
10:01 PM rue_mohr: didn't I get some transistors for making an electrostatic pickup?
10:05 PM zhanx: i have too much going on

10:06 PM rue_mohr: J310, hey I think that was it
10:07 PM zhanx: ok distro upgrade cause i was dumb and imaged the wrong iso to usb
10:07 PM zhanx: then i can config the printer again
10:08 PM rue_mohr: :/ maybe I should buy a new machine
10:08 PM rue_mohr: (recore the one I have)
10:08 PM rue_mohr: you could play with the machine ont eh deck
10:08 PM zhanx: i got 7 laptops remember?
10:08 PM rue_mohr: yes, thats an idea
10:08 PM zhanx: they all run windows 7
10:08 PM rue_mohr: I'm not a laptop fan
10:09 PM rue_mohr: usually bad bus performance
10:09 PM zhanx: so i hacked one for the kid for admin on it
10:09 PM zhanx: did another for the wife
10:09 PM rue_mohr: :)
10:09 PM Tom_L: i have options of: connect using IE settings, direct to the internet, or proxy server
10:09 PM Tom_L: i went with direct
10:09 PM zhanx: and this one is printer controller, windows administrator rights is so easy to hack
10:09 PM Tom_L: because of port 80 and IE
10:16 PM zhanx: you still use IE?
10:16 PM Tom_L: never
10:16 PM zhanx: k
10:16 PM Tom_L: but it's an option on this program
10:16 PM zhanx: I was like what?
10:16 PM Tom_L: trying port 7512 & 5567 now
10:17 PM rue_shop3: hmm, I built all this.
10:17 PM Tom_L: ok that one may have gone
10:18 PM Tom_L: says delivered to network this time
10:18 PM zhanx: nice
10:18 PM Tom_L: the others either show failed or unknown status
10:18 PM zhanx: shirt
10:18 PM zhanx: shit
10:18 PM Tom_L: i suppose it takes them a while to send it
10:19 PM zhanx: when i backed up this laptop I left the 3d scanner code out of the backup
10:19 PM zhanx: damn it
10:19 PM Tom_L: woops
10:19 PM Tom_L: you should have sent it to rue
10:19 PM Tom_L: or put it on my server
10:19 PM zhanx: I am going to do a server now
10:19 PM zhanx: I need to
10:19 PM zhanx: dam,n it
10:20 PM Tom_L: i scatter stuff all over the place
10:20 PM Tom_L: ok their website says 'delivered upstream' now
10:21 PM Tom_L: still haven't received it on the phone
10:21 PM zhanx: what to try mine?
10:21 PM zhanx: want
10:21 PM Tom_L: naw i've got 5 phones i can test with
10:21 PM zhanx: k
10:22 PM Tom_L: if they're not reliable i'll do something else
10:22 PM Tom_L: i plan to always send one to me with the batch
10:24 PM zhanx: ok bbb with 8gig ssd and 128gig flash drive from the parts bin
10:25 PM zhanx: after that laptop is setting i am hosting a git hub
10:31 PM Tom_L: well i can do it online with their website too but i'd rather do it from the windows app
10:31 PM Tom_L: still no txt on the phone
11:51 PM zhanx: this laptop needs to hurry up
