05:58 AM rue_bed2: ...
07:02 AM rue_bed2: I think its garbage day
07:38 AM rue_mohr: nope
08:53 AM rue_mohr: my hours are unstable
08:53 AM rue_mohr: but its working better for me
08:53 AM rue_mohr: I'm learning new dimentions to insomnia
08:54 AM rue_mohr: where I'm tired, but I'm not
08:54 AM rue_mohr: I'm trying to understand the mechanisms
04:07 PM Tom_L: probably just make you tired
06:56 PM rue_mohr: went to a site that a customer said we wired
06:57 PM rue_mohr: 4 data jacks T tapped onto one cat5 line
06:57 PM rue_mohr: I kinda raged to find out who had done it
06:57 PM rue_mohr: but it looks like it might not be us
06:57 PM rue_mohr: which is good
07:06 PM Tom_L: :)
07:20 PM rue_mohr: ok
07:20 PM rue_mohr: so monday is a holiday
07:23 PM Tom_L: yep
07:59 PM rue_mohr: I can do whatever I want for a few days :)
08:49 PM Tom_L: so what would that be?
08:50 PM rue_mohr: I have to get work out of my head first
08:50 PM rue_mohr: all I can think about right now is rage on things being done wrong and causing all sorts of grief
09:48 PM Tom_L: you can only do what you can do
09:48 PM rue_bed2: and one of those things is ranting
09:48 PM rue_bed2: :)
09:48 PM Tom_L: but that just wastes time
09:49 PM Tom_L: time is a limited comodity
09:49 PM rue_bed2: this week I learned that shouting will not make someone listen, who can already hear you
09:49 PM Tom_L: talking to a post?
09:49 PM rue_bed2: might as well be
09:50 PM rue_bed2: ma said something I dont remmeber
09:50 PM rue_bed2: she said I once drew a picture of an ear and posted it on the wall as "the only one that would listen to me"
09:50 PM Tom_L: heh
09:51 PM rue_bed2: it was really hard being into electronics and programming with NOBODY to go to or share it with
09:51 PM rue_bed2: your among the few I have now :)
09:53 PM Tom_L: it's been that way for me here all along other than irc
09:54 PM Tom_L: limiting what i can do, i went with mechanical over electronics though
09:54 PM rue_bed2: sure
09:54 PM Tom_L: can't always keep up with your projects
09:55 PM rue_bed2: we know it all gets sorted out in software anyhow :)
09:55 PM rue_bed2: thats ok
09:55 PM rue_bed2: I'm so amazingly scattered sometimes I wonder how I get anywhere
09:55 PM rue_bed2: seems I do tho
09:55 PM rue_bed2: the yearly pics are proof
09:55 PM Tom_L: so did you figure what the issue was with the latches?
09:56 PM Tom_L: random bad parts?
09:56 PM rue_bed2: its the cut across the end, its not deep enough
09:56 PM rue_bed2: their from you, straight slotting cuts
09:56 PM rue_bed2: but I dont unerstand how
09:56 PM Tom_L: can you tell if it was the woodruff cutter?
09:56 PM rue_bed2: cause you made the template I'm using
09:56 PM Tom_L: may have been some i was still adjusting the depth on
09:57 PM rue_bed2: the chatter is straight, thats all I can tell
09:57 PM Tom_L: most are ok though?
09:57 PM rue_bed2: my machine has a halarious amount of slop on the 1/8" milling bit it uses
09:58 PM rue_bed2: I didnt look for good ones
09:58 PM rue_bed2: hmm
09:58 PM Tom_L: yeah i don't get perfect alignment when i did it with the mill
09:58 PM rue_bed2: he mixed them into one bag, so they have been installed randomly
09:58 PM Tom_L: cause it's 2 ops
09:58 PM Tom_L: the woodruff cutter makes it 1 cut
09:58 PM rue_bed2: did you mill some?
09:59 PM Tom_L: well, 3 different depths
09:59 PM Tom_L: the early ones were done like you do it
09:59 PM rue_bed2: it looked like one pass
09:59 PM rue_bed2: oh
09:59 PM rue_bed2: hmm
09:59 PM Tom_L: only mine was a metal fixture
09:59 PM rue_bed2: yep
10:00 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/A12_New/A12_1.jpg
10:00 PM Tom_L: woodruff cut
10:00 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/A12_New/A12_batch.jpg
10:00 PM Tom_L: 4 & 7 from the right may be mill cut
10:01 PM Tom_L: you can see the difference
10:01 PM rue_bed2: ahh, yea thats it then
10:01 PM rue_bed2: it was
10:01 PM Tom_L: like i said, rather than tossing i figured you could either fix or toss
10:01 PM rue_bed2: actualy you can kinda see it in the photo
10:02 PM rue_bed2: the end cut in the milled ones is deeper
10:02 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/A12_New/A12_batch2.jpg
10:02 PM Tom_L: dunno if that shows it better or not
10:02 PM Tom_L: hard to tell
10:04 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/A12_New/A12_P1_1.jpg
10:04 PM Tom_L: i think that setup makes a better part but takes a little longer
10:04 PM Tom_L: but finishes it complete
10:13 PM Tom_L: i wish i had a small bandsaw
10:14 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/Can_Holder/Extra/A12_P2_2.jpg
10:14 PM Tom_L: that was the old setup
10:36 PM rue_mohr: :)
10:41 PM rue_bed: nothing like clearing out the laptop memory by accidently pulling the power cord
11:01 PM Tom_L: gnite
