| 11:45.17 | short_circuit | lol |
| 11:45.36 | short_circuit | Little beer in my corn flakes then |
| 11:45.52 | ndim | is having toast and coffee |
| 11:46.11 | ndim | For breakf^Wlunch. |
| 11:46.36 | short_circuit | actually drama kept me up till one hour 30 minutes ago. Getting a cute roomate up right now. Then I pass back out. Nibbling on a piece of leftover pizza till she is fully awake |
| 11:47.12 | short_circuit | XD Hadda get the ugly roomate up 3 hours ago |
| 11:48.10 | short_circuit | In about twenty minutes I will pass back out for HOURS! 8~O zZzZzZz] |
| 11:48.28 | ndim | Gonna clean up the remainder of my desk today. Which means I need a better way to store my GM counter circuits and tubes and AVR programmer and stuff. |
| 11:48.52 | short_circuit | ooOOooo! Toys |
| 11:49.15 | ndim | Mostly bad tubes, though. |
| 11:49.21 | short_circuit | may be getting a government job soon. |
| 11:49.27 | short_circuit | if so he will be kinda rich |
| 11:49.33 | short_circuit | pay 3 times what he used to get |
| 11:49.40 | short_circuit | then I get my very own kewl toys |
| 11:49.42 | ndim | Bad in the sense of useful after a nuclear accident, but not with normal background levels. |
| 11:50.07 | short_circuit | always wanted a g counter |
| 11:50.42 | ndim | A friend of mine invested an engineer's month's salary into a gamma scintillation counter. |
| 11:50.45 | short_circuit | ionizing radiation for the epic win |
| 11:50.56 | short_circuit | woah |
| 11:51.03 | ndim | Just the sensor, though. Designed and built the electronics himself. |
| 11:51.29 | ndim | I helped with the uC selection and the software a bit. |
| 11:51.44 | short_circuit | Sounds like a fun project |
| 11:51.51 | ndim | That one has something like 20000 counts per minute. |
| 11:52.01 | short_circuit | woah |
| 11:52.04 | ndim | My tubes have more like 10 counts per minute. |
| 11:52.25 | ndim | That is a difference. |
| 11:52.29 | short_circuit | I can see it now... falling asleep to the ticks of a detector |
| 11:53.04 | short_circuit | basking in various sources like the suns cosmic rays :~P |
| 11:53.06 | ndim | Nope. I was smart when I built up my counter, and added a switch to the speacker. |
| 11:53.44 | ndim | You'll laugh... but I did catch some solar flare on my GM counter. |
| 11:54.01 | ndim | Different tube back then. More like 60 counts per minute normally. |
| 11:54.09 | ndim | Sudenly was 80 or 90 for five minutes. |
| 11:54.40 | short_circuit | Now that is kinda kewl. |
| 11:55.02 | short_circuit | I'd also like to have an uber sensitive seismometer... or however that's spelled |
| 11:55.20 | short_circuit | something that can pick up even a pretty weak earthquake |
| 11:55.35 | ndim | What would you do with such a thing? Detect when the neighbours get up? |
| 11:55.37 | short_circuit | though it will prolly trigger every time a construction crew digs around here |
| 11:56.09 | short_circuit | I think it would be neat if I could record an earthquake far away and verify it with usgs readings |
| 11:56.27 | ndim | Was kind of disappointed though back then when it turned out there was solar activity around that time. I had been hoping for some interstellar or intergalactic particle shower's aftereffects. |
| 11:56.59 | short_circuit | perhaps a gamma burst from some distant stars explosion thingy? |
| 11:57.02 | short_circuit | :) |
| 11:57.06 | ndim | Something like that. |
| 11:57.59 | short_circuit | those detectors have a lifespan that is shortened by duty cycle? Or can you have one running all the time and perhaps a computer constantly logging the reading |
| 11:58.34 | short_circuit | I can see it now.. A raspberry pi constantly logging readings as a project |
| 11:59.07 | short_circuit | after a year you can review data and match to events in history |
| 11:59.19 | short_circuit | sunspots and more perhaps |
| 12:01.21 | ndim | short_circuit: We built the two devices such that they contain a microcontroller to log by itself. |
| 12:01.38 | short_circuit | shuweeet |
| 12:01.46 | ndim | With my tubes, I just need to connect a PC every two weeks or so to avoid buffer overruns. |
| 12:02.37 | short_circuit | Oh! ok. Kewl.... Perhaps some kewl network connectivity then... It logs in every few days and uploads |
| 12:02.39 | ndim | We just have been a little squeamish about publishing circuits and stuff due to the high voltage. |
| 12:03.01 | ndim | The software is on github. |
| 12:03.58 | short_circuit | cute roomate out the door... |
| 12:04.00 | ndim | I build my counter in order to have a demo for job interviews. |
| 12:04.12 | short_circuit | sorry but I'm EXHAUSTED |
| 12:04.14 | short_circuit | ;) |
| 12:04.17 | ndim | Have fun. |
| 12:12.34 | short_circuit | OKI Doki |
| 12:12.51 | short_circuit | Now for fun in bed... wait... that sounded bad... or good.... hurumph |
| 12:13.52 | ndim | Rest-sleeping is also fun. |
| 12:13.59 | ndim | Especially when exhausted. |
| 12:14.16 | short_circuit | what is rest-sleeping? |
| 12:15.24 | ndim | Sleeping to get rest. |
| 12:15.44 | short_circuit | o_O |
| 12:15.46 | ndim | As opposed to create offspring. |
| 12:15.53 | short_circuit | ic |
| 12:15.54 | short_circuit | duh |
| 12:15.57 | short_circuit | too tired |
| 12:16.03 | ndim | Get some REST. |
| 12:16.04 | short_circuit | *thud* |
| 12:16.13 | short_circuit | #/head hits pillow |
