01:31 AM rue_bed: no images later than those
02:06 AM polprog: Ive got a ton of various ISOs from various places
03:59 AM polprog: @ultramafic:~/html$ ls /mnt
03:59 AM polprog: AUTOEXEC.BAT DOSKEY.COM FDISK.EXE IO.SYS MSCDEX.EXE MTMCDAI.SYS
03:59 AM polprog: COMMAND.COM DRIVES.COM FORMAT.COM KAYB.BAS MSDOS.SYS QBASIC.EXE
03:59 AM polprog: CONFIG.SYS EDIT.COM hdformat.exe KEYBB.EXE MTMCDAI.386
04:00 AM polprog: hmm
04:39 AM polprog: copied DOSKEY to my own
05:59 AM rue_mohr: ah
05:59 AM rue_mohr: KEYBB
05:59 AM rue_mohr: yes, I wrote that
05:59 AM rue_mohr: it sets the keyboard repeat rate to the max
06:00 AM rue_mohr: MCSDEX, for cdrom addrss
06:00 AM rue_mohr: access
06:00 AM rue_mohr: (I'm having word mis-addressing issues)
06:04 AM polprog: i noticed it said Borland C++ inside
06:04 AM polprog: MCSDEX i know that
06:04 AM polprog: i think yours uses a different CDROM driver than what my (other) floppy has
06:05 AM polprog: that seems to work okay with the CDROM drive i have in the box
06:05 AM polprog: what's KAYB.BAS? it does some io on addres 888 which i just googled is 0x378.. parport wiggler?
06:09 AM rue_mohr: 378 is the parallel port
06:10 AM rue_mohr: hmm, I'm not sure on the basic program
06:10 AM polprog: i cant paste it somewhere to refresh your memory
06:10 AM polprog: it displays a 4x4 grid of zeroes
06:10 AM rue_mohr: just looking for it on my machine
06:10 AM rue_mohr: I think its a program the robotics kids might have been playing with
06:11 AM rue_mohr: its not part of my primary backups
06:11 AM rue_mohr: likley meansit was dispsable
06:11 AM polprog: i forgot to check the dates on the files
06:11 AM rue_mohr: hah
06:12 AM rue_mohr: low odds the bios was set properly anyhow
02:52 PM polprog: rue_mohr: did you see my reply on twitter about the color scheme?
02:52 PM polprog: do you need everything 90-s website red and blue on black :P?
02:53 PM polprog: also, nice touch with the innermost braces bolder. I havent seen anything like that before
02:53 PM rue_mohr: heh, might just be an apperician, its just a colour rotation
02:54 PM rue_mohr: tho, hmm
02:55 PM rue_mohr: actually, I'm not sure if that IS ceramic..
02:56 PM rue_mohr: I dont know why the colour-rotator isn't working right
02:56 PM rue_mohr: but I know lots of reasons it could be wrong
02:57 PM rue_mohr: the render order of this system isn't reliable, the cursor position screws it up
02:57 PM rue_mohr: and because its only seeing one line at a time, inter-line co-ordination is a fluke
02:59 PM rue_mohr: tho, the one you put the comment on is fine..
02:59 PM rue_mohr: wonder what I changed
02:59 PM rue_mohr: they do the resistor colour code
02:59 PM rue_mohr: first set is brown
03:00 PM rue_mohr: thru to grey, I used %8
03:05 PM polprog: idk why but linux doesnt let me easily moun thte floppy as root
03:05 PM polprog: er.. i mean
03:05 PM polprog: mount the floppy in a way i dont need root to write
03:05 PM polprog: probably a groups issue
03:08 PM polprog: hmm
03:08 PM polprog: mounts fatfs as root:root
03:08 PM polprog: damnit
03:08 PM polprog: maybe i coukd put that in fstab
03:10 PM polprog: great Joes Own Editor in DOS version joined my toolkit
03:11 PM polprog: if only i could use joe
03:23 PM rue_mohr: roe?
03:23 PM rue_mohr: hmm
03:25 PM polprog: rues own executor
03:25 PM polprog: no, thats for when you write an OS
03:29 PM rue_mohr: hmm
04:07 PM Tom_L: now there's a project
04:14 PM rue_mohr: the editor is beating me up just fine thansk
04:16 PM polprog: dont worry, we eont let you make an OS
04:16 PM polprog: wont*
04:16 PM polprog: since the NiCd batt pack is dead, i disected it, put the totally bad cell away (0 V on terminals) and ill be trying to bring up these singular cells, one by one
04:17 PM polprog: they wont go into the radio but if they happen to have any capacity left theyll probably be used as shits and giggles projects... AA sized with tabs welded on
04:18 PM rue_mohr: damnit, I'v had it, tho I think I'm gonna mod openscad
04:18 PM polprog: i have some good NiCd packs but they are wrong dimensions
04:19 PM rue_mohr: I'm just making a battery carrier for a li-ion for that little sumo bot
04:19 PM rue_mohr: oh horrid gowd
04:19 PM Tom_L: ok time for a new project here...
04:20 PM rue_mohr: ok blindfold.... find the indent code...
04:23 PM polprog: i have some 18650s i was trying to charge up
04:23 PM polprog: i think it went ok, i have the notes somewhere here
04:31 PM rue_mohr: see if I can even compile the openscad source
04:33 PM polprog: nurse!
04:36 PM rue_mohr: Were gonna have to shock him!
05:11 PM rue_mohr: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
05:11 PM rue_mohr: Makefile:571: recipe for target 'openscad' failed
05:12 PM rue_mohr: no, I cannot build openscad
05:13 PM Tom_L: dependency hell?
05:25 PM rue_mohr: kinda
05:26 PM rue_mohr: QT
06:45 PM polprog: ok, so these two (out of 6) nicads seem to be okay. discharging them thru 2 diodes and a 1k resistor to knock the voltage down and we'll see tomorrow
06:45 PM polprog: connected in series they have 2.48 volts
06:46 PM polprog: these are the ones which seem to not "charge up" unrealistically fast
06:48 PM polprog: then there are these two with 1.0 and .9 vopen circuit
06:49 PM polprog: if i find 6 i might be able to make 1 fully working batterrypack
06:55 PM polprog: nite
08:46 PM aandrew: another day, another agency cold call
09:01 PM rue_mohr: I'm adding featrues to openscad!
09:02 PM rue_mohr: you on work search mode?
09:05 PM aandrew: no, I ahve two current contracts, although one of them is net30 and is playing silly bugger with the wire transfers so I'm starting a work stoppage until they're current
09:05 PM aandrew: +1 for openscad hacking. I'm still a 3d newbie
09:06 PM rue_mohr: I'm just adding menu items for "insert translate" / rotate / scale
09:06 PM rue_mohr: ARG
09:06 PM aandrew: doesn't matter, had se^W^Wadding features
09:06 PM rue_mohr: but I keep typoing translate
09:07 PM rue_mohr: src/legacyeditor.h:32:14: error: 'void LegacyEditor::insertTransalte()' marked 'override', but does not override
09:07 PM rue_mohr: void insertTransalte() override;
09:07 PM rue_mohr: ^^^ !!! >;|
09:07 PM aandrew: TRANSALTE
09:07 PM aandrew: sounds French
09:07 PM aandrew: mai oui, hunh hunh hunh! Transalte, monsieur, transalte!
09:08 PM rue_mohr: atleast that time it told me what file
09:08 PM rue_mohr: I have the other two working
09:30 PM rue_mohr: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
11:12 PM zhanx: Evening
11:17 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, alive?
11:19 PM rue_mohr: I could be walking dead, I'm not sure
11:20 PM zhanx: i talked with a guy doing vt
11:20 PM zhanx: vr
11:21 PM zhanx: they are SLAM with tracking levels
11:21 PM zhanx: whats 1.9 billion right?
11:22 PM zhanx: real time viewing with a remote viewing
11:22 PM rue_mohr: yea
11:22 PM zhanx: full QA/
11:22 PM rue_mohr: I was going to use openar for getting a robot to track down the garbage can to grab it
11:22 PM zhanx: QC lists etc
11:23 PM zhanx: feed back on the gloves
11:23 PM rue_mohr: k
11:24 PM zhanx: its in beta now
11:24 PM rue_mohr: ok, WHAT?
11:24 PM zhanx: 3500 usd for on headset
11:24 PM zhanx: voice commands etc
11:24 PM rue_mohr: start fun the beginning
11:25 PM rue_mohr: slam, 1.9 billin?
11:25 PM zhanx: they figured out AR real time
11:25 PM rue_mohr: dont underestimate the ability for bad coders to add amazing amounts of latency to anything
11:25 PM zhanx: with feed back to check stuff
11:30 PM rue_mohr: ok, I need you to start from one corner and draw a whole picture
11:31 PM zhanx: ok they are doing feed back loops in real time with map for QA/QC with torque
11:34 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:35 PM rue_mohr: I wonder how they managed with the latency
11:37 PM zhanx: and they are using a pc to monitor also. weird
