| 03:21.20 | flypiper | marcus are you here? |
| 04:00.30 | mzb | yes flypiper |
| 04:01.30 | mzb | had machine issues + built/installed latest znc |
| 04:01.31 | flypiper | hey I wanted to tell you about my trip to Colorado.. if you have a few minutes |
| 04:01.38 | mzb | sure thing |
| 04:02.15 | flypiper | I sold one of my metal embossers to a company in Aurora Colorado which is just east of Denver |
| 04:03.00 | flypiper | I have a friend that I was in the Air Force that lives in Craig colorado on the western part of the state. |
| 04:03.41 | flypiper | my friend has a Balley slot machine that was just siting there.. and I asked him what was wrong with it.. and he didn't know |
| 04:04.38 | flypiper | so I fired it up and it had an 81 in one of the displays. I opened the front door and there was a list of error codes. 81 was a low VRAM battery |
| 04:05.22 | flypiper | went over to Radio shack and got a new 3.6v ... soldered it in and WoW.. she worked after doing a tilt reset! |
| 04:05.37 | mzb | hehe |
| 04:05.53 | flypiper | played the thing for half the nite..... and on the drive back home... O ordered a Double Diamand machine |
| 04:06.08 | flypiper | It should be here tomorrow!! |
| 04:06.36 | mzb | hehe |
| 04:08.49 | mzb | you going to put it somewhere other than home? |
| 04:08.52 | mzb | ;) |
| 04:09.57 | flypiper | lemme see.. http://www.vegasslots777.com |
| 04:10.16 | flypiper | yea, in the dining room where people can play it. |
| 04:11.24 | flypiper | Double Diamond is one of my favorite games to play in a casino. |
| 04:12.02 | flypiper | Drove 2400 miles last week |
| 04:12.08 | flypiper | pretty well worn out. |
| 04:12.43 | mzb | sounds like a fair distance |
| 04:12.56 | mzb | parents are doing a fair bit of travelling |
| 04:13.16 | mzb | they're away on one of their "rally" things (as officials) |
| 04:13.39 | flypiper | traveling Tasmania? |
| 04:13.46 | flypiper | or Au |
| 04:14.14 | mzb | .au |
| 04:14.15 | mzb | http://aprs.fi/?call=VK7ZRO-15 |
| 04:14.28 | mzb | ^ select "Show Last" as 7 days |
| 04:14.32 | mzb | and then press search |
| 04:16.09 | flypiper | WoW... That is a little traveling |
| 04:16.19 | mzb | gets worse if you click on 2010 ... and follow the dates ;) |
| 04:16.30 | mzb | yeah ... they do *stupid* distances |
| 04:16.42 | mzb | he got sick of maintaining his old 4wd |
| 04:16.51 | mzb | so bought a new one just before a long trip |
| 04:17.01 | flypiper | I bet the old one took a beating |
| 04:17.07 | flypiper | that is neat tho |
| 04:17.09 | mzb | hehe |
| 04:17.23 | mzb | by the time they came back it was overdue for it's first service ;) |
| 04:17.35 | flypiper | I bet it was |
| 04:17.51 | flypiper | my truck turned 440,000 miles on this last trip |
| 04:18.11 | flypiper | I need to hit the hay... have a great day my friend !! |
| 04:18.21 | mzb | that's a fair few miles |
| 04:22.44 | mzb | I've been running my "GPS Survey Vehicle" around the neighbourhood, and submitting *stupidly* accurate traces of roads + walking tracks to openstreetmaps (private) |
| 04:22.57 | mzb | (aka: stroller with gps tablet;)) |
| 04:23.29 | mzb | I got annoyed testing the GPS software in the car being told to go through a street that's "cut" in the middle |
| 04:23.40 | mzb | so I've been fixing up the errors, etc |
| 04:24.20 | mzb | ie: to the point where I walk on both sides of the road, compare to known survey points ... |
| 04:24.47 | mzb | turns out their map data _and_ yahoo maps are about 5m out! |
| 04:25.11 | mzb | which explains why some of the GPS software gets a bit confused when you're going around corners/etc |
| 04:25.34 | mzb | (the software realises you're *roughly* on the road and tries to fudge it) |
| 04:27.52 | mzb | heaps of fun to play with :) |
| 04:28.25 | mzb | ... and involves lots of walking == won't kill me :) |
| 04:28.50 | mzb | although I did forget to drink enough water last week ... so couldn't use one eye for a few days after |
| 21:55.02 | flypiper | wow. |
| 21:55.15 | flypiper | I use the GPS on my iPhone now.. it's sweet |
