01:49 R0b0t1` MrCurious, what do they step?
01:49 R0b0t1` Just wondering
01:50 MrCurious CNC
01:50 MrCurious thinking speaker wire wil be the easiest to source
01:52 Triffid_Hunter MrCurious: can often find 4-core microphone/audio cable that'll happily carry 2A.. the type that professional audio crew use with XLR jacks, not the crap that pc speakers et al use
01:53 MrCurious wanting to do it on cheap
01:53 MrCurious i have the rolling wire tray so heavy guage speaker wire will be good enough
02:11 Triffid_Hunter MrCurious: can get flat "under-carpet" speaker wire which is fantastic for cable chains and similar
02:14 MrCurious i actually think i have 50' of some serious thick speaker wire somewhere
02:15 Jak_o_Shadows I'm seriously considering automating my christmas lights
02:16 Jak_o_Shadows Patterns and the like
04:03 Jak_o_Shadows1 Where to get drill bits?
04:04 Jak_o_Shadows1 I want a small selection, starting fairly small, up to about 8mm
04:04 Jak_o_Shadows1 I don't need big ones, I have them already, and I dont' use them often anyway.
04:09 Jak_o_Shadows1 Also, what's a good price? $20 for 14 HSS bits? http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobii-hss-drill-bits-and-spade-bits-14-piece_p6360193\
04:31 rue_shop2 mmm the odometer still works on my old robot :)
13:17 MrCurious the game of the next year shall be..... http://digg.com/video/crashing-other-peoples-cell-phone-conversations-makes-for-hilarity-at-the-airport
17:48 rue_shop2 heh, crash the person, not the phone
21:41 GuShH_Lap MrCurious: I could play this game as well http://digg.com/video/what-you-get-when-you-pour-molten-aluminum-into-an-ant-hill

21:42 GuShH_Lap MrCurious: I don't have an addiction like you do though
21:42 GuShH_Lap it's all new for me.

21:42 MrCurious but cool effect if you dont mind the karma from bringing firey death to en entire exxtended family of ants, their old, young....
21:43 GuShH_Lap karma... ants?
21:43 GuShH_Lap lots of clay on that soil or it's just the heat?
21:44 GuShH_Lap MrCurious: they do similar stuff with termites as well
21:44 GuShH_Lap for studying purposes
21:44 GargantuaSauce_ http://plasticbrickautomaton.com/?id=54 related
21:45 GuShH_Lap heh
22:01 GuShH_Lap MrCurious: how's the cnc
22:01 MrCurious i am preping for tomorrows interviews
22:03 GuShH_Lap why are they called interviews if they outerview you for most of the time?
22:05 zap0 deep
22:06 GuShH_Lap zap0: toke
22:06 GuShH_Lap Do people watch Jimmy Kimmel?
22:06 GuShH_Lap is he still on?
22:29 ace4016 he's still on, and people still watch him
22:29 ace4016 i'm guessing this because he still comes up on the news
23:21 rue_more "your a 12 foot robot!" "yes, but that dosn't mean I dont ahve feelings"
23:52 rue_shop2 ok I have tiny13 code to share, it takes in 0-5V and outputs 0.5ms - 2.5ms pulse every 17ms
