06:52 AM JT-Cave: will you be in the path?
06:52 AM Tom_L: Not a hundred percent
06:53 AM Tom_L: That path is just above houston
06:54 AM JT-Cave: yesterday on the way to pick up the wife I saw 3 accidents, one on CR521 car full of teenagers driving at a high speed on the gravel road could not make the corner and ran off into a ditch
06:55 AM Tom_L: They drive crazy down here but seem to stay out of each other away for the most part
06:55 AM JT-Cave: two an 81 year old lady ran off the road on hwy 60 and it a large outcropping of rock when we passed by the firemen were trying to cool the car down it was totally burned up and I don't know how the woman survived at all

07:03 AM JT-Cave: I hear a walker rolling about now
07:34 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> morning 🙂
07:34 AM lcnc-relay: supposed to be a pretty good show up here, around 3:30pm Eastern. i am in 99.4%
07:50 AM JT-Cave: we have some students from Virginia Tech doing experiments during the eclipse
07:51 AM JT-Cave: we are smack dab in the middle
07:52 AM JT-Cave: I didn't realize how long it took from start to full eclipse...
07:52 AM * JT-Cave starts his chicken day
09:02 AM roycroft: the sky is supposed to be clear during the eclipse here
09:02 AM roycroft: so maybe i'll check it out
09:02 AM roycroft: it will only be 10% where i am, so nothing spectacular
09:17 AM JT-Cave: it cab here
09:20 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> supposed to be 80% here - but cloud cover might be an issue
09:21 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> Co-worker is in the path of totality.. somewhere
09:22 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> He was picking up a telescope mount from a canadian that was driving to texas - so he was pretty much half way to the areal
09:22 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> area
09:23 AM roycroft: i heard a story on the cbc yesterday about an amateur astronomer and his family from quebec
09:24 AM roycroft: they had booked a hotel in mazatlán, and were planning on driving down with their telescope gear to witness the eclipse when it first began
09:24 AM roycroft: then the weather forecast changed, and they realized that staying home they would likely get a better view than if they traveled
09:25 AM CloudEvil: :)
09:25 AM * roycroft is grateful that he was able to see the 2017 eclipse, and it was spectacular, and so doesn't feel so bad about being so far from totality this time
09:27 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> we saw the 2017 eclipse too - it is amazing seeing the leave shadows looking so wierd.. (I don't remember how full it was here)
09:27 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> it was the same day my x's mom had a heart attach..
09:28 AM roycroft: i had to drive 45 minutes to get in the totality zone
09:28 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> It must have been partial here.
09:28 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> I don't remember - just that he tree leave shadows were very cool.
09:29 AM roycroft: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2017-august-21
09:30 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> I do remember the 02/26/1979 one.. The school had a picnic - we got to see it.. I would have been around 6
09:31 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> 1st grade maybe? that was too long ago
09:34 AM roycroft: i remember the july 20, 1963 eclipse
09:34 AM roycroft: i was not in the path of totality, but close
09:35 AM roycroft: i was a wee lad at the time, and i remember myself and all the neighborhood kids got pinhole box eclipse viewers
09:35 AM roycroft: it must have looked ridiculous seeing a bunch of kids out on the sidewalk with boxes over their heads
09:36 AM roycroft: but nobobody put their eye out!
10:20 AM pcw--home: I saw the 7I76 Eclipse (Drove to Washington) I remember at the "diamond ring" stage I could see shadows of grass blades from a nearby hill on the road
10:21 AM JT-Shop: wow
10:21 AM JT-Shop: just a few hours away here
10:22 AM JT-Shop: speaking of 7i76 how's the 7i76EU coming along?
10:22 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Shop: you are in the direct path..... lucky guy.
10:22 AM JT-Shop: lucky my wife is home now and I don't have to go out anywhere today

10:27 AM Tom_L: Thru security just waiting
10:28 AM JT-Shop: fun
10:31 AM Tom_L: Taking the industrial road in was a winner for sure
10:31 AM JT-Shop: cool
10:31 AM JT-Shop: time for a nap here
10:32 AM Tom_L: Yes as soon as I eat lunch i'm gonna do the same
10:37 AM pcw--home: JT-Shop: We can probably send you a proto in a week or so (I meant 1976 but was ordering 7I76U (not 7I76EU) protos so it was on my mind)
10:47 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> man, checked the main road and it is bumper to bumper with traffic heading north for the event!
10:49 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> pcw--home: Peter, if you need someone to test a board or 3, I might be able to help out..... and I'm close by
11:00 AM pcw--home: Yes, you could test one out (we just did 10 protos before a production run)
11:28 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> pcw--home: oooh. can't do a step/dir . my mill has DC brushed motors with AMC digital drives....
11:34 AM pcw--home: Ahh...
11:38 AM JT-Shop: pcw--home, cool a proto would be nice
12:19 PM Unterhaus_ is now known as Unterhausen
12:20 PM Unterhausen: we're 3 hours away from the path of totality, but everything is going to be obscured by cloud cover anyway. Only Travis gets to see it.
12:34 PM Unterhausen: weather update: all of a sudden it's clearing
12:36 PM Unterhausen: looking at the satellite view, there is cloud cover all along the path of totality. I guess it's that time of year
12:37 PM * CloudEvil wonders about rocky peaks
12:46 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> i will have my GoPro with a sun filter over it... not sure how well it will come out, but i will have video... or try to have video of it, for those missing it.
12:50 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
12:50 PM Tom_L: Big version of bump I c
12:54 PM roycroft: i brought my camera to the 2017 eclipse, but the pictures really did not do justice to the event
12:55 PM Tom_L: Guess we'll be getting wifi after all
12:55 PM Tom_L: I doubt we'll see it because it's cloudy here
12:56 PM roycroft: https://roycroft.us/2017-08-20-Totality.png
01:07 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> nice roycroft, where was that taken?
01:07 PM roycroft: a bit south of corvallis, oregon
01:07 PM roycroft: or a bit north of eugene, oregon
01:07 PM roycroft: however you want to look at it
01:09 PM CaptHindsight: clear blue sky here today but we only reach ~90% total
01:10 PM roycroft: https://roycroft.us/2017-08-20-Eclipsy.png
01:10 PM roycroft: that kind of looks like a crescent moon
01:10 PM roycroft: but fatter
01:10 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> the maniacs are clogging the streets here
01:11 PM roycroft: a moon that has been eating too much swiss cheese, i suppose
01:11 PM CaptHindsight: and it's 70F, (21c)
01:12 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> image died on Discord, but i saw it on the IRC logs
01:13 PM roycroft: i bought a dark filter for my camera and seems to have worked pretty well

01:17 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> over my GoPro, not ver my GoPro
01:20 PM roycroft: the eclipse has begun
01:21 PM roycroft: and it's still overcast here
01:21 PM roycroft: i probably won't even get my 10% this time
01:22 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> any idea how long a GoPro battery lasts? i hope long enough for most of the show...
01:22 PM roycroft: 20 minutes or so for the average battery
01:22 PM roycroft: there are extended life batteries that last about 2x as long
01:23 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> ok, so i should wait for the main event to start recording
01:23 PM roycroft: to be safe, i would start the video about 6-7 minutes before the beginning of totality, and let it run out
01:23 PM lcnc-relay: <turboss (@_discord_231682974729502721:jauriarts.org)> travis_farmer hello,
01:24 PM lcnc-relay: <turboss (@_discord_231682974729502721:jauriarts.org)> travis_farmer I found that your matrix user has the same displayname that your discord one, that what its causing your nick to begin super large in the irc side ... 😦
01:25 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> ahh, ok. makes sense now
01:29 PM roycroft: this much i can say positive about the big to-do concerning the eclipse: people are talking about something other than the presidential election or 45's upcoming trials today
01:29 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> true...
01:30 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> I just found my behelit
01:31 PM roycroft: i don't know what that is, but congratulations, i think?
01:31 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> LMAO
01:36 PM CaptHindsight: do I look up or not look up, please tell me what to do

01:45 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> still cloudy here
01:46 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> doesn't look like we will see it
01:48 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> If I could drive to madison - maybe.. lol
01:50 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> did my IRC name fix?
01:50 PM XXCoder: it did
01:50 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> why, yes it did
02:03 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> my surveillance cameras have auto-brightness, so i can see them stepping through the light levels as they brighten to compensate for the sun getting darker...
02:05 PM XXCoder: interesting
02:08 PM lcnc-relay: <JT> Cool
02:10 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> too bad i can't stream my surveillance cameras for a period...
02:30 PM roycroft: we still have clouds
02:30 PM XXCoder: same. not that we would be able to see it. way too far
02:41 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> well. anyone blind yet ?
02:41 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> 😉
02:41 PM XXCoder: wouldnt be able to read that
02:41 PM XXCoder: anyone not responding again probably was blinded
02:41 PM roycroft: maybe 45 is
02:42 PM roycroft: it would be hard to tell, though, as he doesn't read anyway :)
02:43 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> TurBoss: hey, do you use a programming environment thing like Pycharm ??? for python programming
02:43 PM lcnc-relay: <JT> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/xOMqHEEXJEqVevtRvVHIDHvI/eclipse-01.jpg
02:43 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> I use eclipse IDE
02:43 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> hihihi
02:43 PM XXCoder: lol
02:44 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT: your photo????

02:45 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> TurBoss: thanks
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> I use it with the pydev python
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> it allows remote debug so i can attach to a running linuxcnc instance
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> i'm going to try a little python programming for zigbee2mqtt
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> *plugin
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Shop: good photo.,...
02:50 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> roguish: pycharm could be more helpful if you don't need "remote debug" thing
02:51 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> also using pyqt5
02:51 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> and having some problems getting pycharm and pyqt5 to cooperate.
02:52 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> hmmmm
02:52 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> its an standalone app what you writting?
02:54 PM lcnc-relay: <TurBoss> may need to configure the python path in project properties
02:54 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> not sure yet. i want to use zigbee to read my electric meter. and have a simple graphing gui
03:10 PM JT-Shop: roguish thanks
03:21 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> rendering my 11 minute video now, of the eclipse. not zoomed in as far as JT did, but just enough to see a spot of light... will still upload to YouTube though...
03:23 PM XXCoder: cool
03:31 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> and uploading... i hope it is at least visible...
03:36 PM roycroft: all this instant uploading stuff ...
03:36 PM roycroft: it took me 6-1/2 years to upload my eclipse pics :)
03:37 PM XXCoder: upgrade your modem ;)
03:38 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> i have cable internet...
03:38 PM XXCoder: that reply was to roy and 6 years lol (its a joke)
03:39 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> i know, i was just adding 😉
03:40 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> 67%...
03:44 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> 93%...
03:46 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> Youtube is processing it...
03:46 PM XXCoder: destroying my legs for fun right now
03:48 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> LMAO
03:51 PM roycroft: well, for the bandwidth-challenged:
03:51 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> standard definition is ready, high-definition still processing... https://youtu.be/DM3fqFCogn0 no idea if standard def is enough or not, bit HD has 40 minutes of YT processing
03:51 PM roycroft: https://roycroft.us/2017-08-20-Eclipsy.txt
03:51 PM XXCoder: I had to fix the exercise thing today. bolt fell off and made one of foot pads little bit loose
03:51 PM roycroft: https://roycroft.us/2017-08-20-Totality.txt
03:52 PM XXCoder: lol web formatting turned it into ascii picture of fire
03:52 PM XXCoder: second is just a mess
03:52 PM roycroft: zoom iut
03:52 PM roycroft: out
03:52 PM roycroft: the second one is pretty big
03:52 PM XXCoder: yeah web browsers remove extra spaces
03:53 PM roycroft: it looked fine in my browser when i zoomed way out
03:53 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> HD is ready already...
03:54 PM XXCoder: youre right on second one
03:54 PM XXCoder: thats definitely cool
03:54 PM XXCoder: interesting. zooming out somehow magically fixes first also. it didnt remove extra spaces
03:54 PM XXCoder: love those. nice
03:56 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> my YT video works best in full-screen mode, apparently

04:02 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> 99% totality @ 8:17
04:06 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> some of the music wasn't great, but better than silence for 11 minutes... unless you muted it...
04:16 PM XXCoder: link?
04:16 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> Discord didn't post it to IRC?
04:18 PM XXCoder: I dont see it on discord also
04:18 PM travis_farmer: https://youtu.be/DM3fqFCogn0 again, in case it was lost...
04:18 PM XXCoder: actually it did, I missed it
04:18 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer (@_discord_731083529441640538:jauriarts.org)> LOL
04:18 PM XXCoder: oops sorry lol
04:19 PM XXCoder: ah you need to change irc name also
04:19 PM XXCoder: or leave on irc lol
04:20 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> lol
04:21 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> IRC is a reserved name
04:22 PM XXCoder: its same for matrix. any conflicts makes long form come out
04:23 PM XXCoder: I figured why it didnt for me. my nick is captialized here and not there
04:23 PM XXCoder: (I added y so I dont ping myself each time I say something on discord)
04:23 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> ok, so i should only be on one at a time 😉
04:23 PM XXCoder: or just use different captializions
04:24 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> i think it is because the base name is same
04:24 PM XXCoder: just change irc or discord to Travis or something
04:24 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> on discord i am "Travis Farmer"
04:24 PM XXCoder: maybe caps is only one direction
04:24 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> i can't change the underlying name
04:25 PM XXCoder: username? thats changable
04:26 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> not the display name... the base username is changeable.... ?
04:26 PM XXCoder: well or captalize your irc name
04:27 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> i am rarely on IRC now that i have discorn working with my name now 😉
04:27 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer> *discord

06:04 PM roycroft: no reports on whether it was successful or not
06:05 PM roycroft: astronomers have been trying to recreate that experiment unsuccessfully for over 100 years
06:05 PM XXCoder: interesting
06:05 PM roycroft: maybe einstein will finally be proven right! :)
06:06 PM XXCoder: from eclipse I guess, but they had already proven it by nova and Jupiter motion
06:06 PM roycroft: well the 1919 eclipse was the first test of the theory
06:09 PM XXCoder: cool
06:17 PM solarwind: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t3gJIo7GCnY
06:17 PM solarwind: did not know that
06:19 PM roycroft: you've never done any carpentry work :)
06:20 PM solarwind: I have, but it never need 1mm precision
06:20 PM roycroft: you've never done good carpentry work :)
06:21 PM roycroft: solarwind set himself up for that
06:21 PM roycroft: mayhap intentionally
06:21 PM solarwind: lol! ain't no thang
06:31 PM CaptHindsight: precision carpentry is an oxymoron
06:34 PM CaptHindsight: I measure the thickness of the tab with a micrometer then forget about it and use a measuring stick

06:53 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> real reason it happened
06:56 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> wow https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68761514.amp they caught gold smuggling. apparently gold was cast as tools then covered in cheap metal
06:56 PM Unterhausen: For a second there, I thought they made a machine tool out of gold
06:56 PM XXCoder: ya its gearing but still funny
06:57 PM XXCoder: its a lot of gold
06:57 PM XXCoder: if they worked more on making it look proper, it would have passes
06:58 PM Unterhausen: they could have had it plated, but then the plating shop would have sold them out
07:00 PM XXCoder: they did plate or probably painted it
07:00 PM XXCoder: but its texture looked very rough
07:03 PM XXCoder: I mean, it looked worse than cheapo chineseium castings

07:38 PM CaptHindsight: looks like a second eclipse is happening here right now
07:41 PM roycroft: that's called "night" :P
07:42 PM XXCoder: techinically nights is earth self eclipsing
07:52 PM * roycroft needs to find his multitool, which is lost somewhere
07:52 PM roycroft: mine is a harbor freight model, which has worked for me just fine for years
07:53 PM roycroft: i'm suspecting some festool person hid it on me in an attempt to get me to go buy a festool to replace it
07:53 PM roycroft: and i'm not going to do that
07:53 PM roycroft: there's only so much kool-aid you can force down someone's throat
07:57 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> i have all this extra koolaid/dixie cups left over from the eclipse
07:58 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> no one wanted to ascend into elightment with me, and i didnt want to do it alone
07:58 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420> hmm i wonder if there was a suicide cult action today
08:03 PM roycroft: one could argue that maga is a suicide cult action that takes place every day, but the cultits are too incompetent to complete the task :)
08:03 PM roycroft: cultists
08:14 PM CaptHindsight: did you see the eclipse photo he posted of himself?
08:14 PM CaptHindsight: was immediately photo-shopped for more accuracy
08:19 PM roycroft: no
08:19 PM roycroft: did he manage to put his eye out this time?
08:19 PM XXCoder: its ad special effect
08:19 PM XXCoder: pretty dumb
08:27 PM CaptHindsight: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1bz72th/trump_posts_new_eclipse_photo/
08:28 PM XXCoder: interesting hole
08:28 PM XXCoder: its not in orginal
08:33 PM bjorkintosh: What's yellow and hard to swallow?
08:33 PM XXCoder: lemon
08:33 PM bjorkintosh: That's right. A bulldozer.

08:34 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcodery> talking about lemon
08:50 PM roycroft: lemon curry?
08:52 PM XXCoder: lol
08:54 PM roycroft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA2rF4ZA5Gc
08:55 PM roycroft: no built-in captions - hopefully you have something that will generate them
08:56 PM XXCoder: sadly no autocaptions too
09:01 PM roycroft: sad, that was a great sketch
09:01 PM roycroft: but useless if you can't read the words or hear it
09:01 PM roycroft: sorry
09:01 PM roycroft: on a positive note, i found my multi-function tool!
09:02 PM roycroft: the festool lords will have no influence over me whatsoever
