00:01 fckng_stupid twist the lines some, make a spray Escher
00:02 rue_shop iirc we designed a non-contact etchant pump
00:03 Tom_itx smash a tube between some rollers?
00:03 fckng_stupid http://www.mcescher.com/Gallery/recogn-bmp/LW437.jpg
00:03 rue_shop the acrobat logo?
00:07 Tom_itx gnite
00:10 rue_shop so I'll make this mega8 my dig scope for now
00:13 rue_shop I think I'm starting to find an interest in a search engine that dosn't try to profile me to search for what I didn't ask it to
00:13 rue_shop er wait
00:14 rue_shop that should be
00:14 rue_shop I think I'm starting to find an interest in a search engine that dosn't try to profile me and searches for what I ask it to
00:15 rue_shop and that dosn't give keywords to other search engines that fabricate results on the fly
00:17 fckng_stupid i could make a suggestion, but it's all fucked : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroogle-ssl-search/
00:18 fckng_stupid http://scroogle.org/
00:20 rue_shop noted!
00:21 rue_shop they still dont filter trash results that google sollects tho do they
00:21 rue_shop I'v had google results that DO NOT HAVE ANY of the keywords I asked for in them
00:21 fckng_stupid they proxy you away from google, that's all
00:22 rue_shop dont care about that as much as proper results for what I ask for
00:24 rue_shop firefox has a domain blocker that I have built up with most of the ad-servers there are
00:24 rue_shop I dont see too many ads
00:24 fckng_stupid "most of them" ?
00:24 rue_shop some ads are local from legit sites
00:26 kng_stupid has 7400 blocked dom
00:27 fckng_stupid plus some blocked with regex comparisons
01:01 rue_shop sweet, all 8 seem to hvae worked
01:08 e_shop practises dril
01:33 rue_shop I'M GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS
01:33 e_shop makes a set of twee
01:39 rue_shop gee 50thou traces bridge easy...
01:39 e_shop gets the large
01:57 rue_shop yay, 5 new temp sensor boards
02:01 rue_shop uh
02:01 rue_shop I have the remains of 5 bolts here
02:01 rue_shop I thought that etchant didn't attack steel....
02:01 rue_shop maybe thats true for one of the other etchants
02:38 rue_mohr ok so I need to make the overload boards for buddy3
03:03 rue_shop yea, then we can apply some bvh files to it
03:03 e_shop rubs his h
03:03 rue_shop ah what to make next
03:04 e_shop just sits there with a blank s
03:04 e_shop twirrls in the chair of doom, cause it supports that
03:04 rue_shop mmm I should put a foot rest on the chair of doom
03:05 e_shop looks out at the cold dark
03:05 rue_shop but not now
03:05 rue_shop oh I wanted to make a cnc foam lathe
03:06 e_shop looks at the c
03:06 rue_shop should be done by morning
03:06 e_shop th
03:07 rue_shop kat, how do I attach foam to a dosn't-exist-yet lathe head in a way thats descent for shaping foam?
03:09 e_shop tries to bounce ideas off kat, but they refuse to bo
03:10 rue_shop I need some nuts
03:10 rue_shop 3/8" stainless
03:10 rue_shop hmmm
03:12 rue_shop the overloads for buddy
03:12 rue_shop part 1 is current sensing for each channel
03:13 rue_shop the servos are set up to be able to read the levels
03:13 rue_shop part 2 is an indepentant overload cutoff
03:13 rue_shop maybe a 324 comparitor and 7474 as a latch
03:14 rue_shop but there is a low and high limit
03:14 rue_shop maybe I could made a REALLY wide voltage schmitt, where ... no
03:14 rue_shop hmm
03:15 rue_shop ah, the other idea was , to use a altered relay, set one up for pulling in on current
03:15 rue_shop that way polarity dosn't matter
03:15 rue_shop the conclusion was to use a reed switch with about 4 turns
03:16 rue_shop and to use a shunt resistor to trim it
03:16 rue_shop the reed triggers a 7474 to latch a relay to kill the power rails to the leg that overloaded
03:16 rue_shop can you say "cascade failure" hehe,
03:17 rue_shop heheeh
03:17 rue_shop hmm
03:17 rue_shop ok
03:17 rue_shop ah, the problem was that there are 3 legs per baord and I ahve to current sense them all
03:18 rue_shop no, I can...
03:18 e_shop d
03:46 rue_shop hmm current sense resistors and relay and overload sense and current amps, and flipflops, this board isn't gonna be small
11:15 fckng_stupid i think i should go away, as i cannot please anyone here
11:15 fckng_stupid i am confident you can find someone else to demean
11:16 fckng_stupid my fantasy is i am worth something, and i would rather be deluded with that fantasy than be the only one here in this position
13:35 rue_bed huh
13:35 rue_bed !seen rifraf
13:36 rue_bed hmm
13:36 rue_bed !time
13:36 rue_bed !time
13:36 rue_bed grr
13:47 rue_bed I wonder if I can get the overload boards for buddy finished today
13:47 rue_bed cool to get 'm workin
13:48 rue_bed I have two 24V, 35A isolated output power supplies I can use for temp power
13:48 rue_bed oh oh I should etch more battery packs
13:48 rue_bed thats what I need to do
13:49 rue_bed the cells need a topup charge
15:02 rue_mohr ok I charted it out, I get 31 hours a week to do whatever I want
15:03 rue_mohr I get to do what I want with 18% of my life...
15:04 rue_mohr live it up eh?
15:07 rue_mohr the longest single time fragment is about 5 hours long
15:07 rue_mohr nowonder its so hard for me to code anything
15:10 Tom_itx during the night?
15:11 rue_mohr saturday evening
15:11 rue_mohr provided I stay up to 3am
15:11 Tom_itx and you're single
15:11 rue_mohr w/o kids
15:20 rue_mohr 33% sleeping
15:20 Tom_itx i wonder how much i get
15:20 rue_mohr do you think you can draw our an hour-by hour chart of your week?
15:21 Tom_itx i doubt it
15:21 rue_mohr monday morning, 5am you are...
15:21 Tom_itx it varies too much
15:21 rue_mohr mm
15:21 Tom_itx up at 3
15:21 Tom_itx down at 11
15:21 rue_mohr things you have to do in the morning are... and take ... hours
15:22 Tom_itx don't have to do... i wake up
15:22 Tom_itx alarm has gone off maybe twice in my life
15:24 Tom_itx i have however gotten up on Sat for no apparent reason and dressed for work
15:24 rue_mohr if I worked 2 hours longer per day, and took the time off on friday....
15:25 rue_mohr I could have a 12 hour stretch on friday
15:29 rue_mohr or take a break in the middle of the week
16:14 Steffanx I still wonder what you guys do for a living :)
16:17 Tom_L work our ass off
16:17 Steffanx Yeah, but with what?
16:25 rue_mohr so nobody has the track size on a reprap small enough to apply etch resist eh?
16:26 rue_mohr <- electrician
16:26 rue_mohr working out the circuit is never the issue :)
18:05 -sendak.freenode.net:#robotics- [freenode-info] if you're at a conference and other people are having trouble connecting, please mention it to staff: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp
19:21 tomboy__ \join #latex
19:21 tomboy__ lol
21:37 e_shop prints the pcb's for the battery packs for bu
21:37 rue_shop mmm get them all ready for etching
21:39 Tom_itx remember, don't use em as a fuse
21:40 rue_shop heh
21:40 rue_shop fuse? whats a fuse?
21:40 rue_shop I suppose it would have been good to have had fuses on the li-ion battery packs
21:41 rue_shop its ok, I put leds on them, if they are shorted and on fire, I'll have the omputer turn on the led for that cell
21:41 rue_shop my good pen is 45 thou
21:42 rue_shop 10 thou between smt traces :)
21:43 Tom_itx pretty easy
22:37 rue_shop hmm ok, wonder what else to etch
23:02 Tom_itx rue_shop, your soup working pretty good now?
