02:14 PM rue_mohr: my idea was that the ninnies help carry the message to real people who are out there
02:14 PM rue_mohr: and thus more real people connect up with you
02:14 PM rue_mohr: aandrew, is one of the great people found :)
02:15 PM Tom_L: but do you continue to feed them or do they feed you back?
02:15 PM rue_mohr: it looks like about 40% of the people following me understand anything about what I'm posting
02:15 PM rue_mohr: so, for that many followers, thre aren't many people replying to anything
02:16 PM Tom_L: you find your shaft?

02:17 PM Tom_L: it's like it rained outside here but it didn't
02:17 PM rue_mohr: I hope I find it, I chose the size cause I had two that were the right length

03:31 PM rue_mohr: I'm so amused how that took off
03:32 PM rue_mohr: kinda wishing I'd put a sig at the bottom
03:32 PM rue_mohr: oh well
03:33 PM rue_mohr: I really didn't think that would get more than a giggle from more than about 80 followers
03:34 PM aandrew: heh well you're famous
03:34 PM aandrew: I said "hey I know the guy that made that!"
03:34 PM aandrew: "YOU KNOW RUE!?"
03:37 PM rue_mohr: heh
03:37 PM aandrew: the very next question was "is your shop as messy as his?" hahahaha
03:37 PM rue_mohr: hah

08:45 PM rue_mohr: just thought of a cool idea that I was able to assemble really quick and it works
08:45 PM rue_mohr: to drive 2 7 segement displays with 8 io pins
08:46 PM rue_mohr: use one common cathode display and one common anode
08:46 PM rue_mohr: wire the commons togethor and use the io pin to select the active display
