03:46 AM polprog: we had DCDC converters on the ULN2003, noe it's time for logic gates!
03:47 AM polprog: i liked it when someone on twitter commented "I thought ULN2003 was a motor driver!"

11:38 PM rue_shop2: deer in the headlights
11:38 PM rue_shop2: hmm
11:39 PM rue_shop2: well, work from where you are
11:39 PM rue_shop2: I need space, materials, and knowledge
11:39 PM rue_shop2: thats good
11:40 PM rue_shop2: so...

11:41 PM rue_shop2: why not?
11:41 PM rue_shop2: ... just because, trust me
11:41 PM rue_shop2: ok,

11:42 PM rue_shop2: do you have the materils you need for the long term goal?
11:42 PM rue_shop2: how should I know, i"m not there yet
11:43 PM rue_shop2: that brings us to space
11:43 PM rue_shop2: which is pro knowledge (indirectly) but anti materials
11:43 PM rue_shop2: I might be over on materials
11:43 PM rue_shop2: the car is getting closer
11:43 PM rue_shop2: ugh
11:44 PM rue_shop2: what I need is a bail-out
11:44 PM rue_shop2: not yet
11:44 PM rue_shop2: pleaaaase?
11:44 PM rue_shop2: you dont learn anything if you get a bailout
11:45 PM rue_shop2: but...
11:45 PM rue_shop2: sorry, you might die before you get to the goal
11:45 PM rue_shop2: oh yea, sure, encourage me...
11:45 PM rue_shop2: tools
11:45 PM rue_shop2: hmm?
11:46 PM rue_shop2: tools use up materials and add knowledge
11:46 PM rue_shop2: yes, indeed
11:46 PM rue_shop2: IF you use the materials to build the tools
11:46 PM rue_shop2: I need to be better at servos
11:46 PM rue_shop2: yes and no
11:46 PM rue_shop2: ?
11:47 PM rue_shop2: you have been there, remember?
11:47 PM rue_shop2: I could do more
11:47 PM rue_shop2: you could, yes
11:47 PM rue_shop2: gearboxes
11:47 PM rue_shop2: and what have you learned there
11:47 PM rue_shop2: i shouldn't try to make them, takes too long
11:47 PM rue_shop2: for complex ones
11:48 PM rue_shop2: you call that complex?
11:48 PM rue_shop2: maybe it was the distractions
11:48 PM rue_shop2: knowing your limiting factors better would be an asset
11:48 PM rue_shop2: time
11:48 PM rue_shop2: well... you know that one
11:49 PM rue_shop2: I hate ticking clocks
11:49 PM rue_shop2: yea, again, rule out time machines
11:49 PM rue_shop2: what if I just stop time
11:49 PM rue_shop2: you cant stop, the...
11:49 PM rue_shop2: yea, oh, right
11:49 PM rue_shop2: me duplicator?
11:49 PM rue_shop2: no
11:50 PM rue_shop2: how about me augment
11:50 PM rue_shop2: yup
11:50 PM rue_shop2: I need to know more about what the goal looks like
11:51 PM rue_shop2: many factors are up to you, they can take many forms
11:51 PM rue_shop2: this is hard
11:51 PM rue_shop2: nobodys been there yet
11:51 PM rue_shop2: this happens to me too much
11:51 PM rue_shop2: its been the same thing the whole time
11:52 PM rue_shop2: so step A is to collect all the lego bricks
11:52 PM rue_shop2: step B being to use them ALL on the project
11:52 PM rue_shop2: kinda, some of those bricks are just too crazy
11:52 PM rue_shop2: hmm
11:52 PM rue_shop2: you know everything you need to
11:53 PM rue_shop2: so... I'm good on knowledge?
11:53 PM rue_shop2: kinda, you need to know how to apply
11:53 PM rue_shop2: like the 3d printers
11:53 PM rue_shop2: indeed
11:53 PM rue_shop2: why didn't I think of that
11:53 PM rue_shop2: cause you didn't need to
11:53 PM rue_shop2: so....
11:54 PM rue_shop2: what I need is to need...
11:54 PM rue_shop2: yes, thats a path
11:54 PM rue_shop2: so, 10k years and you cant drop me some hints?
11:54 PM rue_shop2: sorry
11:55 PM rue_shop2: there are too many obstacles to dodge to get up any speed
11:56 PM rue_shop2: maybe speed isn't what you need
11:56 PM rue_shop2: but the car is getting closer
11:57 PM rue_shop2: what usually happens when you end up in this situation
11:57 PM rue_shop2: I fail :/
11:57 PM rue_shop2: hmm
11:57 PM rue_shop2: you have defeated it before tho
11:57 PM rue_shop2: make a decision and stick with it
11:57 PM rue_shop2: yea, its not always a garunteed win
11:58 PM rue_shop2: I still dont know what I do now
11:58 PM rue_shop2: figure out your limit working on other projects
11:58 PM rue_shop2: the more you do the more you learn
11:59 PM rue_shop2: ok, so, I need to know how fast I can work
11:59 PM rue_shop2: yes
11:59 PM rue_shop2: cut corners if you have to as long as things work, you can fix them after its all working
11:59 PM rue_shop2: I should breakdown a medscanner project
