10:47 PM rue_mohr: almost at 10:1 followers on twitter

10:50 PM rue_mohr: messin things up
10:50 PM zhanx: reading and paying cat tax
10:51 PM rue_mohr: mhm
10:52 PM rue_mohr: need to do the Z axis for the cnc too
10:52 PM rue_mohr: I'm having an issue working out how to set up the drive for the long axis (96")
10:53 PM Tom_L: belt or chain. chain will stretch more over time probably
10:54 PM Tom_L: or rack n pinion
11:06 PM rue_mohr: yea, I'm havin problems finding a sufficient belt
11:07 PM rue_mohr: rather avoid the cogging from chain
11:07 PM rue_mohr: pondered having it make its own rack
11:15 PM Tom_L: rack is probably the best choice for a long axis run
11:16 PM Tom_L: screws would limit the feed due to whipping
11:23 PM Lola8088: I missed everyone
11:27 PM rue_mohr: na
11:27 PM rue_mohr: I'm just eating pepper
11:27 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, yea, I wasn't pondering screws
11:27 PM rue_mohr: unless I use them like a rack
11:29 PM Tom_L: yeah i was thinking about that
11:30 PM Tom_L: and how to make the drive nut for one
11:30 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/reprap/drive5.jpg
11:30 PM Tom_L: cut something like that
11:30 PM Tom_L: and let those drive across some allthread or such
11:31 PM rue_mohr: yea, I would like to do rack or belt
11:32 PM Tom_L: belt on belt with a hoop over a drive pulley wouldn't stretch
11:35 PM rue_mohr: problem is I cant find afordable belt
11:35 PM rue_mohr: looks like one belt would be ~$150
11:36 PM zhanx: rue can you review my resume?
11:38 PM rue_mohr: I'm probably not the best person for it, but ok
11:39 PM rue_mohr: the instructions I'v heard are that a resume is always written wrong, nomatter what you do
11:39 PM zhanx: fun
11:40 PM Tom_L: when my kid was looking he filled out his info to a company and their website generated a professional resume
11:40 PM rue_mohr: heh
11:40 PM Tom_L: he's had comments on it since
11:40 PM rue_mohr: complete with the right bot-filtered keywords?
11:40 PM rue_mohr: awe, its bedtime again

11:41 PM zhanx: k

11:42 PM Tom_L: they've got ~30 companies
11:42 PM zhanx: tired going to bed
11:43 PM Tom_L: i did the format in word so i could fix his as he went along
11:43 PM Tom_L: you definitely want it all on one page
11:44 PM Tom_L: bullets make it easy to glance over so they can see who you are quick at a glance
11:44 PM rue_mohr: I dont think their read by humans anymore
11:45 PM rue_mohr: their filtered by bots and triggered by programs when people push the button that they need to replace the employees that quit
11:47 PM Tom_L: do you remember pepsi?
11:47 PM Tom_L: i still have his resume :)
11:47 PM rue_mohr: how could I forget
11:47 PM rue_mohr: before he messed up his brain?
