05:42 AM polprog: http://0x0.st/X6Jy.png
05:55 AM polprog: designed a box for our THz generator setup in the lab
05:55 AM polprog: the setup is assembled on a steel plate, theres a power supply and a YIG generator
05:55 AM polprog: that generates up to 20GHz, that signal is then multiplied to get the 20th harmonic
05:55 AM polprog: the 27th
05:55 AM polprog: *
05:55 AM polprog: but the steel plate is pre-drilled with M6 holes, and the hole pitch is 1"
05:55 AM polprog: the table has got m6 screw holes and the pitch is 2.5mm
05:55 AM polprog: so the next part ill be making is some bracket that moves 2 of the three posts so that they align with the table
11:17 AM rue_mohr: huh
11:18 AM rue_mohr: so... what you overclocking with it?

12:52 PM rue_mohr: wow busy
12:53 PM Tom_L: started off as a test screen
12:53 PM Tom_L: it's more to put 'possibilities' out there for examples
01:00 PM rue_mohr: :]
01:01 PM rue_mohr: so I got the tailpipe changed on the truck
01:01 PM rue_mohr: turns out the bracket I was given for the back was all wrong, but it also turned out there were no proper listings for the right one
01:01 PM Tom_L: you did it or you paid?
01:01 PM Tom_L: that's a fun job...
01:01 PM rue_mohr: I did it, just a tail pipe
01:01 PM Tom_L: oh
01:01 PM rue_mohr: so, I had to re-build part of the back bracket
01:02 PM rue_mohr: and changed a marker light I didn't know was out till the service shop mentioned it
01:03 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1320912.jpg
01:04 PM rue_mohr: I painted the hell out of it to TRY to make it last for a while
01:04 PM rue_mohr: the oil on the axle has me curious
01:04 PM rue_mohr: I should check the level in there
01:05 PM rue_mohr: this morning the tilt and pan mirror seems to have lost its Y sensor again
01:05 PM rue_mohr: @#$%@#%
01:07 PM rue_mohr: that rear bracket, I didn't note if the hook pointed forwards or backwards when I took it off
01:07 PM rue_mohr: pointing back seems to make sense
01:07 PM rue_mohr: oh I could check the rust line on the old pipe
01:08 PM rue_mohr: the old tailpipe wasn't much more than a strip of rusty metal, hardly any pipe left
01:09 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1320922.jpg
01:09 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1320930.jpg
01:10 PM rue_mohr: I'm interested in making a tape drive for my computer
01:10 PM rue_mohr: I finally found a radio with an all-electronic, bidirectional handler
01:10 PM rue_mohr: *end insert
03:53 PM rue_shop4: hahaha
03:53 PM rue_shop4: the machine I use for the CNC is crashed right now, but it uses a network port right now, so I'm ok
10:52 PM rue_mohr: The livingroom printer has printed 96 objects in the 268 days its been running.
