01:24 theBear good god, i hoppe you aint seen that table of maybe 10 numbers that says kids get it instantly, smart guy 5 or 10 mins, engineer/real tech/math dude take looong.... i never got the effer, drives me mental when it comes up on the random background
01:25 theBear actually think it was 10 comparisons like a key/code with the last couple missing
02:08 hackkitten rue_house: ah, hydroponics? Yes, that's me :)
06:05 theBear woohoo ! first try in MANY years and the parport rifprog detected programmed and verificated :) now to see how bad i mangled the code
06:34 SpeedEvil :)
07:40 theBear so, what's this i hear about a revolutionary all purpose in-circuit ic test clip you invented while i was in the other room not-inventing one
07:50 SpeedEvil It uses sixteen genetically modified trained aye-ayes.

07:58 theBear ahh, like my moustache, it's really just a pair of trained caterpillars
07:59 theBear heh, haven't seen a true facts for a while, i love 'em
08:22 SpeedEvil It's a damn shame he's not making more
08:28 theBear why you gotta go sayin a thing like that ? don't you know ignorance is my bliss
08:34 SpeedEvil At least they're very rewatchable
08:37 rue_school SpeedEvil, hah, nice video
08:37 theBear indeed, so long as you take a break, break the streak each time it turns out
10:47 mbrumlow did somebody say something to me?
10:47 mbrumlow nope
10:47 mbrumlow well, maybe days ago.
10:50 mbrumlow I have my robot up again
10:50 mbrumlow http://goo.gl/g9SsnZ
10:50 mbrumlow I guess its really not a robot yet... It does not do much on its own.
10:50 mbrumlow I was in a arguemnt about this with somebody.
10:51 mbrumlow If the brains live on a server and the parts moving around are just controled via a wireless connection is it a robot or a drone? Or is the entire thing a robot?
11:11 robopal oh good luck sorting that out
11:14 robopal is this a robot or a posh rc toy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82BwEOeTbMA
11:18 robopal fun
16:14 rue_school it moves faster this time
16:15 rue_school you need to put some servo balance on the wheels so it drives straight
16:20 rue_school mbrumlow, you need to make a 'chat' window, to push comments into the command stream
16:21 rue_school it should also push them to an lcd screen on the robot
16:22 rue_school were flying!
16:26 rue_school slower data rate = less latency
16:28 rue_school hey you can push objects
16:30 rue_school where is the mirror?
16:38 rue_school the day, the rovbot died...
18:44 ace4016 heh, i think i'd enjoy the IT crowd
18:44 ace4016 what died?
19:08 rue_school the robot was flying around, like it had rockets on
19:08 rue_school it was all right side up and upside down
19:08 rue_school and then the fire alarm went off
19:09 rue_school cause some guy in the other side of the dorm was cooking without the fan on
19:09 rue_school and now were back
19:15 ace4016 heh
