07:33 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: that looks bent
07:43 AM rue_mohr: yup
07:43 AM rue_mohr: an angled connector for the wood sticks
07:43 AM rue_mohr: something is wrong
07:43 AM rue_mohr: I was only up till like 12 and then I woke up at 4
07:50 AM rue_mohr: oh yea, huh
07:50 AM rue_mohr: they took the orig parts and lumped a peice overtop
07:51 AM aandrew: yeah my sleep sometimes goes wonky like that
07:51 AM rue_mohr: I think I'm getting ill
07:52 AM rue_mohr: I just realized that yesterday the cat barfed, which is usually an early sign something is going around
07:52 AM rue_mohr: I'm starting to think they bring me the occasional illness
07:53 AM rue_mohr: trying to work out the timeline on this is crazy
07:54 AM rue_mohr: this one has the patch, but its not painted yet
07:56 AM rue_mohr: big mess of linkages
07:56 AM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/skeletonics-arrive-exoskeleton-designboom-004.jpg
07:56 AM rue_mohr: I'm gradually sorting it out
07:57 AM aandrew: https://ibb.co/mXjbL5V is the result of all that climbing around on the pergola yesterday. I think I dislocated a rib though (at least according to my daughter) ... was leaning over the top trying to grab the wire to pull it and something shifted, I "dropped" about an inch and now my rib hurts like hell
07:57 AM aandrew: no bruise, but lifting, bending, even trying to sleep on my side or breathe is not fun
07:58 AM rue_mohr: :S
07:58 AM rue_mohr: oh those boxes have a roof over them then!?
07:58 AM aandrew: not really no
07:58 AM aandrew: they're open to the air above
07:58 AM rue_mohr: oh
07:59 AM aandrew: there is a board running over them about 3" above the top of the box
07:59 AM aandrew: but water/snow/birds/etc collect without any issue
07:59 AM rue_mohr: that'll help
07:59 AM rue_mohr: I'm gonna go and try to sleep again
07:59 AM aandrew: also for birds: optical gel pucks are something I learned about... they work amazingly well
08:00 AM aandrew: basically a 2" dia clear puck with a clear gel with what looks like large sparkles in it, also some kind of smell too apparently. birds think it's fire because of the way it reflects the sun and stay away
08:01 AM rue_mohr: hah
08:02 AM aandrew: every spring we are constantly pulling down nests. can't really put spikes or netting on the pergola, someone suggested those and wow they seem to really work well
08:20 AM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
12:13 PM rue_mohr: ok, today I want to try that plastic injection molder again
12:14 PM rue_mohr: I also remembered a type of universal joint to consider for this other thing
12:16 PM Tom_L: ok
06:06 PM rue_shop3: ok, I have converted the drillpress back into an injection molder
06:08 PM rue_shop3: gathering plastic
06:26 PM rue_shop3: ugh, I got the piston stuck
06:41 PM rue_shop3: oooze control is helping a lot
06:42 PM rue_shop3: first pass, mold was too cold
06:51 PM rue_shop3: oo this might be close!
06:59 PM rue_mohr: nope, mold was way too hot, burned the plastic again
06:59 PM rue_mohr: and, I got eh modl backwards
06:59 PM Tom_dev: got what backwards?
07:01 PM rue_mohr: the alignment pins are symmetric :)
07:01 PM rue_mohr: so I had the top reversed
07:01 PM Tom_L: that's possible?
07:02 PM rue_mohr: symmetric :)
07:04 PM Tom_L: just bricked a board and have no idea how
07:06 PM rue_mohr: :( what kind
07:06 PM Tom_L: a mesa card
07:06 PM Tom_L: pcie
07:06 PM rue_mohr: uyike
07:07 PM rue_mohr: do you have a jtag programmer?
07:07 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1240446.jpg
07:07 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1240448.jpg
07:07 PM Tom_L: jtag won't fix it but yes
07:08 PM Tom_L: the pc bios won't come up if the card is installed now
07:08 PM Tom_L: umm.. it's not supposed to look like that
07:08 PM rue_mohr: you should be able to reflash it out of the computer with jtag
07:09 PM Tom_L: but it does look like it stayed in bounds better
07:09 PM Tom_L: no
07:09 PM rue_mohr: why not?
07:09 PM Tom_L: he said that's not the issue
07:09 PM rue_mohr: its just lost its pci-ness
07:09 PM rue_mohr: "?
07:09 PM Tom_L: i've no idea
07:09 PM Tom_L: it was a test board
07:09 PM Tom_L: but still
07:10 PM Tom_L: and i was testing something with it
07:10 PM rue_mohr: oh
07:10 PM rue_mohr: so its not your main card...
07:10 PM Tom_L: a flash utility for a guy
07:10 PM Tom_L: no
07:10 PM Tom_L: i'm not quite that stupid
07:11 PM Tom_L: looks like that last one _tried_ to be a good part
08:51 PM rue_mohr: reversed, too cold
08:51 PM rue_mohr: er, the order must be reversed
08:52 PM rue_mohr: the cold one was my first try
08:54 PM rue_mohr: I'll put a cut on one edge as an alignment check
08:55 PM rue_mohr: there were a lot of things going on at once
08:55 PM rue_mohr: its not being an easy win
10:02 PM rue_shop2: I'm going to try to warm-clean that out
10:02 PM rue_shop2: I wonder if I can use boiling water
