04:30 AM polprog: thats what i do, i was coming in to work using the back door because its closer to my office
04:42 AM polprog: and a month later coworker asked me if i was signing the timesheet which is at the fron door
04:42 AM polprog: ooops
04:42 AM polprog: well, i still come in from the back but go by the time sheet when i make coffee
08:22 AM rue_mohr: now I'm getting obsessed with trying to design a decoder myself
09:23 AM aandrew: decoder for what
06:18 PM rue_mohr: 4 bit binary to 7 segment - hex
06:53 PM Tom_L: use ladder logic for it :)
07:23 PM aandrew: ah
07:23 PM aandrew: Tom_L: eww
07:25 PM rue_mohr: that wouldn't be efficient
07:25 PM rue_mohr: the relay logic is kicking ass
07:26 PM Tom_L: maybe a challenge
07:27 PM rue_mohr: I dont know if I can design something as good as what they guy came up with
07:30 PM aandrew: you've essentially already written it in ladder logic
08:29 PM rue_shop2: no
08:29 PM rue_shop2: in ladder logic you dont have switching on both sides of the load
09:00 PM aandrew: fair point

11:07 PM aandrew: rue_mohr: some light reading this evening?
11:27 PM aandrew: I haven't read too much of it but it's starting to sound an awful lot like phrenology
