01:49 rue_mohr some of the tools are halarious
02:13 rue_bed EnderWiggins, hey
02:13 rue_bed I had one planned but never ended up building it
02:13 rue_bed openpino?
02:14 rue_bed I think, I have all the pdfs for the parts somewhere
02:51 EnderWiggins rue_bed how come you never built it?
02:56 EnderWiggins ive never heard of open pino and information on it is very scarce now, if you have the pdfs for it i'd love to get a copy
02:59 EnderWiggins Ah i found photos of the internals
03:09 EnderWiggins wells gtg gnight
15:33 Madz hey
15:34 Madz no one here ?
15:39 GuShH that french man wasn't wearing any white clothing, hence the hurry.
17:44 tsmeow-afk takes Tiggr's news feed, randomly mixes the sentences, and announces a *NEW* news feed: Whirled
17:45 Tom_L did you notice my note to you?
17:45 katsmeow-afk no
21:39 e_shop wanders around jabbing a soldering iron into all the types of tubes he has trying to find a piece of teflon tubing for his 3d pri
21:41 rue_shop quartz...
21:41 furrywolf2 no internet, can't afford to get internet... at safeway's cafe now. bleh.
21:43 furrywolf2 fucking SLOW.
21:44 rrywolf2 sits on katsmeow-afk's
21:48 rue_shop dont swear or youll get sensored (disconnected)
21:48 rue_shop ok I cut a halogen lamp tube
21:49 rue_shop I'v checked twice, I'm not bleeding
21:49 rue_shop this is going really well
21:49 rue_shop Im gonna try to make a quarts nozzel for my 3d printer :)
21:53 furrywolf2 dns is broken, and I can't use other dns servers... looks like I need to rtfm on tunnels.
21:54 furrywolf2 they seem to filter dns... freenode is ok. google is ok. torrent sites are not ok. my bank, usbank, one of the country's largest banks, is not ok.
21:58 rue_shop what do you want the ip for?
21:59 rue_shop !?!?!?! glass it supposed to stay hot for a while
21:59 rue_shop this quarts is cold already
21:59 rue_shop it definitly took more heat to pull apart
21:59 furrywolf2 ... because you can't connect to sites you can't resolve, without getting the ip from some other source, manually sending host headers, etc?
22:18 furrywolf2 yay, figured out how to have firefox proxy dns, since I'm too lazy to set up a full tunnel. that'll be a project for another day.
22:19 katsmeow-afk mouw
22:22 furrywolf2 mrrf!
22:22 rrywolf2 curls up on katsmeow-
22:24 furrywolf2 bbl, heading home... it's cold here.
22:25 katsmeow-afk be safe!
22:25 rue_shop sweet, I made a plausable quarts nozzel for my 3d printer
22:26 rrywolf2 hands rue a z then heads

22:59 furrywolf yay! I found internet I can use at home again. hopefully it lasts a bit longer than the ~4 hours it lasted last time.
23:02 katsmeow-afk hopefully it's faster and reliable
23:03 furrywolf nope
23:06 rrywolf curls back up on katsmeow-afk and squishes extra tightly against her to make up for likely future disconnec

23:20 furrywolf I went around trying to find cell broadband services... they're stupidly expensive, and all the prepay ones are scams.
23:21 katsmeow-afk satallite are prolly cheaper
23:21 furrywolf at a first glance, it just sounds highly priced... $60 for 5GB pre-pay isn't exactly a good deal, but might be tolerable. then you read the fine print... expires after 30 days! so they call it prepay, but it's really a monthly fee.
23:21 furrywolf I used to install satellite internet. it sucks. :)
23:22 furrywolf I still have a stack of dishes and modems in storage...
23:24 katsmeow-afk o
23:25 furrywolf I couldn't find any prepay mobile broadband with a longer than 30 day "expiration" time.
23:25 furrywolf which makes them a total utter ripoff.
23:26 furrywolf they call it prepay, but it still needs monthly payments. which is... not what prepay is for.
23:29 katsmeow-afk i understand
23:30 katsmeow-afk i am being educated that "working" can mean "the knobs are missing and the shafts they go on are broken off"
