| 01:06.00 | pagefault | I wonder why rooms can only have 40 people max |
| 01:06.11 | nullpuppy | hmm... cdrecord-prodvd might work |
| 01:12.56 | kergoth | hmm.. |
| 01:13.01 | kergoth | i have no trust company in my audio collection |

| 01:26.58 | darth_mall | uhoh |
| 01:27.16 | darth_mall | that's never good |
| 01:28.22 | kergoth | party? |
| 01:28.36 | scanline | I really doubt there's anything wrong with the card.. plenty of money in the account, and it shouldn't expire for another year or so |
| 01:28.51 | darth_mall | kergoth: friend of mine is havin' some kinda git together |
| 01:29.00 | darth_mall | scanline: you sure they had the number right? |
| 01:29.06 | kergoth | ahh cool |
| 01:29.09 | darth_mall | silvermine got my # wrong once |
| 01:29.12 | scanline | darth_mall: they asked me for it a second time, still didn't work |
| 01:29.28 | darth_mall | =\ |
| 01:29.35 | file[laptop] | hrm |
| 01:29.36 | darth_mall | that would make me very nervous |
| 01:29.39 | file | hrm |
| 01:29.49 | scanline | it could be that their machine was trying to use it in debit mode instead of credit |
| 01:29.53 | file[laptop] | this is very interesting... |
| 01:29.57 | file[laptop] | ah there it goes |
| 01:30.05 | file[laptop] | there was some sort of lag on my workstation... |

| 03:17.43 | pagefault | reproduce |
| 03:18.31 | pagefault | I only have a 75% match |
| 03:18.36 | pagefault | maybe my profile sucks too much right now |
| 03:18.38 | pagefault | I did it fast |
| 03:18.53 | nullpuppy | yeah.. theres shit loads of questions to answer that help and stuff too |
| 03:20.47 | pagefault | What's your deal with harder drugs (not marijuana)? |
| 03:20.50 | pagefault | good question |

| 03:39.15 | file | coffee in cans? |
| 03:39.18 | pagefault | yeah |
| 03:39.32 | pagefault | it's like an already brewed cup of coffee or cappucino |
| 03:39.34 | pagefault | or expresso |
| 03:39.38 | pagefault | and they put it in a can |
| 03:39.40 | pagefault | all you do is open it |
| 03:40.02 | pagefault | the taste is ok but it gives you a heck of a caffeine rush |
| 03:40.07 | file | ah |
| 03:40.34 | pagefault | hmm |
| 03:40.39 | pagefault | I hate writing profiles |
| 03:40.41 | pagefault | takes too long |
| 03:40.54 | nullpuppy | yeah |
| 03:40.59 | pagefault | it has to not suck |
| 03:41.16 | nullpuppy | but.. i'd have to say.. okcupid provides a better and quicker profile thingy then most sites |
| 03:41.29 | pagefault | yeah |
| 03:41.31 | pagefault | plus it's free |
| 03:41.45 | pagefault | they want like $30 on those other sites |
| 03:41.58 | nullpuppy | its short fill in the blanks instead of going through and checking like.. a hundred check boxes or radio buttons |
| 03:42.01 | nullpuppy | yeah |
| 03:43.11 | pagefault | the math jokes are funny |
| 03:43.18 | pagefault | well questions |

| 04:28.39 | ChipX86 | there's the one that comes with the satellite dish, but it bends, so the measurements would be all off |
| 05:04.54 | ChipX86 | tonight, I will be testing what I like to call the Elephant Mount. No, it's not a new type of porn. It's better. |

| 05:46.02 | pagefault | I just wonder |
| 05:46.04 | ChipX86 | I don't have one |
| 05:46.09 | pagefault | since it has a drug addict person as one of my best matches |
| 05:46.10 | ChipX86 | I need something I have in this apartment :/ |

| 05:46.25 | ChipX86 | I don't think that'll help |
| 05:46.30 | ChipX86 | I'm screwing the nut into something that is arched |
| 05:46.37 | scanline | use washers? |
| 05:46.56 | ChipX86 | I don't have any :/ |

| 06:00.01 | scanline | I think I learned just by reading books and doing a lot of experimenting, assembling kits, that sort of thing |
| 06:00.34 | nullpuppy | any thoughts on simple stuff to get started? |
| 06:00.44 | nullpuppy | in terms of like.. building stuff |
| 06:01.06 | nullpuppy | i'm sure i can find the math/physics/etc stuff pretty easily.. just a matter of finding a starting point |
| 06:01.29 | scanline | microcontrollers are always a fun starting point if you're interested mostly in software but want to learn hardware |
| 06:01.54 | nullpuppy | ok |
| 06:04.44 | nullpuppy | oh.. btw... (this is semi-related...) you heard of the xgamestation? |
| 06:04.53 | scanline | nope |
| 06:05.30 | nullpuppy | xgamestation.com ... developed by Andre Lamothe |
| 06:05.56 | nullpuppy | right now its a retro game system basically... to help teach people how to build consoles and stuff |
| 06:05.59 | nullpuppy | pretty neat |
| 06:06.14 | nullpuppy | i think its 16bit ... can't remember offhand though |

| 06:11.29 | nullpuppy | hehe |
| 06:11.43 | scanline | nullpuppy: haha, it uses a scenix microcontroller as its main CPU |
| 06:11.51 | scanline | and a custom video controller in an FPGA |
| 06:11.53 | scanline | that's cute |
| 06:12.27 | scanline | hmm, then there's another one showing an ARM7 CPU |

| 06:32.36 | scanline | ugh, DB-50 connectors are really expensive |
| 06:37.22 | nullpuppy | hmm |
| 06:38.02 | nullpuppy | any input on a good microcontroller to start with as well as programmers? found some stuff using the 16f84 pic (just need to find a good programmer..) |
| 06:38.37 | scanline | 16f84 is a bit outdated |
| 06:39.05 | scanline | microchip jacked up the price to encourage people to use their newer chips |
| 06:39.40 | nullpuppy | k |
| 06:48.20 | nullpuppy | hmm |
| 06:48.54 | nullpuppy | ok.. so.. microchip will send you free samples? do they need to be returned or anything? |
| 06:49.11 | scanline | nope, all free |
| 06:49.20 | nullpuppy | sweet |
| 06:49.22 | nullpuppy | hmm |
| 06:49.31 | scanline | most of the parts in the stuff I build are probably free samples :) |
| 06:49.39 | nullpuppy | any limit? (i see 5 ... not sure if thats total or per order though..) |
| 06:49.45 | nullpuppy | hehe :) |
| 06:49.49 | scanline | they just like the publicity of people designing with their parts |
| 06:49.52 | scanline | that's per order |
| 06:50.02 | nullpuppy | yeah |
| 06:50.03 | nullpuppy | cool |
| 06:50.22 | nullpuppy | ok.. that should help with being able to afford to get into this stuff ;) |

| 06:52.29 | scanline | I'm sure soon enough you'll start to have the sort of continuous flow of crazy ideas that most of us have |
