00:01 rue_house but for the 240 output I dont know if they ground one side of the 240 or the middle of it
00:01 rue_house god damn burritos
00:02 theBear that's what i mean by where they put the neutral
00:02 theBear the ground should always be ground
00:52 katsmeow-afk In terms of joint velocities we obtain 10rad=s. Figure 4 shows an estimated maximum knee joint power of 910W for HyQ (13W=kg 70kg).
00:57 rue_house hello kat
00:58 rue_house kat, that competition, I have all the stuff been working for 5 years, shall I write up and you can submitt?
00:59 rue_house yikes, 22c rise on the boiler
01:21 rue_house I just did it again, boiler boiled
01:21 rue_house ARG
01:24 rue_house I really need to plumb the relief into the firebox
08:51 Tom_itx rue_house you should really turn on joins/parts so you can see that you're talking to yourself
08:51 Tom_itx but then, you do that alot anyway
08:54 theBear hehe
12:43 rue_house if I'm talking to myself 99% of the time whats the point in knowing if I'm not?
12:47 Tom_itx none
12:47 Tom_itx carry on.
12:47 rue_house ever heard the phrase "alone in a crowd" ?
12:48 ace4016 it's kind of amazing how few people talk here but how many people are actually in here
12:49 rue_house its the ratio
12:49 rue_house the channel is dieing
12:49 rue_house they have a lifecycle
12:49 ace4016 and it's not like the majority of freenode where you're restricted from talking unless you're 99% on topic
12:49 rue_house I'v only been able to change it once before in a smaller channel
12:49 rue_house we are rarely off topic
12:51 exiff People idle a lot on irc.
12:51 rue_house esp in over-midage channels
12:52 exiff Of the 20 channels i'm in, only 2 are active
12:52 rue_house Tom_itx, shall we do the kick-everone-and-see-how-long-they-take-to-come-back thing?
12:53 exiff That's against freenode regulations.
12:53 rue_house I'll start at z if you want to start at a
12:53 ace4016 most people have autorejoin :P
12:53 rue_house yes, but not autorejoin
12:53 rue_house er
12:53 rue_house not so sure, I think you would find it would flush a lot of nicks
12:53 rue_house it would create a burst of activity
12:54 rue_house and get people talking about things that they would never have brought up
12:54 rue_house for about 4 hours
12:54 rue_house then its back to being like this
12:54 rue_house * based on past experiance
12:55 rue_house I lost tom
12:56 ace4016 ground control to major tom
12:56 rue_house 64MAB48P9 hmm gamaba....
12:57 rue_house what 8 leet for?
12:57 rue_house B?
12:57 rue_house 64MAB48P9 hmm gamababpg
12:57 rue_house gpbabamag
12:57 rue_house hmm
12:58 rue_house where's an itterator, maybe this is an anagram for something
12:58 rue_house or is 6 b
12:58 rue_house bamababpg p? q?
12:59 rue_house I should write one
12:59 rue_house wait, I think I did
12:59 rue_house for making non-reversable network cable assignments
13:00 rue_house !time
13:00 tobbor My watch says its 10:48AM Sun Oct 28 2012
13:01 rue_house need to check the boiler, blew it up last night after the power failure my plugging the main circ pump into the wrong controller plug
13:02 rue_house hmm I need a php function that takes a list of timesstamps and assigns linear x offsets to them
13:09 Tom_itx ok
13:09 Tom_itx x y and z all work
13:14 rue_house join #postgres
13:14 rue_house ugh
13:15 Tom_itx it doesn't care for my cnc gcode files though which isn't surprising
13:16 rue_house the source explains the command set they implemented
13:16 Tom_itx i know
13:16 rue_house I dont think they can do complex curves
13:16 rue_house just arcs
13:16 Tom_itx i was just testing my current code / post processor
13:17 Tom_itx all cnc is is lines and arcs
13:17 Tom_itx no matter what
13:17 rue_house yes, but there is a gcode for a spiral
13:17 Tom_itx it all gets translated to that
13:17 rue_house or segment of (iirc)
13:17 Tom_itx even not all cnc's implement that
13:17 rue_house iirc they also cant incorperate z movement at the same time as xy movement
13:18 Tom_itx i don't use spiral anyway
13:18 Tom_itx oh
13:18 rue_house not too sure on that one
13:18 Tom_itx it would still work as a pic n place or other something
13:18 Tom_itx i wouldn't doubt it since they're not doing that at all
13:19 Tom_itx they print single layers
13:19 Tom_itx i'll test it though
13:20 rue_house I saw soemthing really scarry on friday
13:20 rue_house I was at the old age care section of the hospital
13:20 rue_house there was a fellow rolling himself around and talking at people, he wouldn't have passed a turring test
13:21 Tom_itx i had one threaten to kill me once but he was strapped in his chair
13:22 Tom_itx so. A) the 2560 will drive my stepper drivers fine
13:22 rue_house somehow a human chatbot scares me more
13:22 Tom_itx B) they are wired right
13:23 rue_house I have to finish my step sequencers
13:23 Tom_itx i repurposed my old cnc drivers
13:23 Tom_itx unless i need em again
13:23 Tom_itx i can make a 'reprap' post for my cad cam
13:25 Tom_itx so
13:25 Tom_itx if you used it for a cnc control you could make parts
13:44 mescalinum hello
13:44 tobbor mescalinum! like, totally tell us about the project!
13:45 mescalinum is there a tool that extracts Jacobian matrices from a kinematic chain model?
13:46 mescalinum I've been told KLD does, but after compiling it, I don't really know how to use it
14:00 rue_house hmm not to many of us are that deep into the math
14:00 rue_house mescalinum, university?
14:01 mescalinum yep
14:01 mescalinum well, how do you solve inverse kinematics? :P
14:01 mescalinum at some point you'll need that
14:03 rue_house I have a little code library I just #include
14:04 rue_house BUT I dont have redundant axis problems
14:13 rue_house THESE AREN'T MUFFINS! THEIR CUISHONS!
14:15 rue_house "there has been a spaceship of somekind parked in the backyard of my neighbours place for like a week now, do you think I should call someone or something?"
14:17 Tom_itx naw, they're just visiting
