| 00:00.03 | jlp_znc | wow, I'm listed in an RFC from 1990! |
| 00:00.07 | RyanE | nice |
| 00:00.12 | jlp_znc | RFC 1166, assigned numbers |
| 00:02.39 | jlp_znc | with the wrong e-mail address (my e-mail prior to 1989) |
| 00:04.06 | *** join/#utah fozzmoo1 (~fozz@69.58.88.48) |
| 00:04.42 | RyanE | I've got mailing list posts archived from mid 1990's, and usenet posts archived from 2001. |
| 00:04.54 | RyanE | but no RFCs, to my everlasting shame. |
| 00:05.51 | jlp_znc | apparently, we requested a netblock back in the day and it was issued as 134.90.rrr.rrr OLY-NET |
| 00:06.02 | RyanE | nice |
| 00:06.05 | RyanE | huge block |
| 00:06.10 | jlp_znc | yeah, class B! |
| 00:07.07 | jlp_znc | it now belongs to Caucasus Online LLC in Georgia (the country Georgia) |
| 00:07.57 | jlp_znc | my e-mail address, back in the day: caeco!olyis!sol!jlp@cs.utah.edu |
| 00:08.09 | jlp_znc | yep, combined internet and UUCP mailing address |
| 00:08.48 | jlp_znc | SMTP to cs.utah.edu, then UUCP to caeco, UUCP to olyis, and LAN to sol (which was Sun-3/260 workstation) |
| 00:09.13 | RyanE | I remember in 1990 trying to email my roommate's brother in law, who was in Scotland on JaNET over UUCP |
| 00:09.27 | RyanE | freakin' email address was about 80 characters, getting through all the gateways. |
| 00:09.41 | RyanE | we managed to make it work, finally. |
| 00:09.47 | jlp_znc | you should have used UUmaps! |
| 00:09.55 | RyanE | above my pay grade. :) |
| 00:10.23 | jlp_znc | https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.newprod/nrQLYnNLkAY/R3XWzO5ZUUcJ <- my post on comp.newprod announcing our product |
| 00:10.43 | jlp_znc | major features: integrated color graphics! |
| 00:11.18 | RyanE | schweet! |
| 00:11.54 | RyanE | I did consulting after college, my first project was to track plate steel through Geneva Steel's plate mill. That was awesome. |
| 00:11.55 | jlp_znc | my features were concurrent editing of multiple spreadsheets, linked spreadsheets update automatically, and integrated database support |
| 00:12.26 | RyanE | they used terminals out in the plant, not Windows machines, mainly because they tended to melt, and the terminals were <$100... :) |
| 00:12.33 | jlp_znc | :-) |
| 00:12.40 | RyanE | the good 'ol days. |
| 00:12.42 | jlp_znc | I still have a Wyse 50 kicking around somewhere |
| 00:12.51 | RyanE | Now they'd probably use Raspberry Pi's. |
| 00:12.56 | jlp_znc | and my old Zenith Z29 |
| 00:13.13 | jlp_znc | sorry, Heathkit H29 |
| 00:13.24 | jlp_znc | (same thing but built with my own two hands) |
| 00:13.28 | RyanE | nice. |
| 00:13.40 | RyanE | my Dad built 4-5 Heathkits. |
| 00:13.51 | RyanE | culminating in a color TV, built into our basement 'theater' wall. |
| 00:14.16 | jlp_znc | working with the tube and flyback transformer on my terminal were the only really scary bits |
| 00:14.55 | jlp_znc | "now, if you need to discharge the tube, connect a ground wire to the chassis and a screwdriver and slide the tip of the screwdriver under the plastic cap where the flyback transformer wire enters the top of the tube. |
| 00:15.03 | jlp_znc | you should hear a small popping noise." |
| 00:15.04 | RyanE | yeah, that's quite a bite. |
| 00:15.35 | RyanE | funny thing is, the 'bite' won't hurt you nearly as much as yanking your arm through some piece of sharp sheet metal because of the ZAAAAP! |
| 00:15.52 | jlp_znc | my dad provided advice, but he let me do all the work myself (he was an electronics technician in the USAF... worked on ECM gear so big powerful radios, radars, and jammers) |
| 00:16.03 | jlp_znc | RyanE: :-) |
| 00:16.16 | RyanE | I've repaired a few tube TVs in the past. |
| 00:16.24 | jlp_znc | my dad had a healthy respect for voltage and RF energy |
| 00:17.01 | RyanE | my dad was awesome. He bought me and my brother a can of black powder after our cousin taught us how to make our own firecrackers. |
| 00:17.05 | jlp_znc | I remember visiting him at the shop one time and watching him take his wedding ring and watch off and place them in a basket outside the farraday cage before taking me inside. |
| 00:17.07 | RyanE | Have to say I probably wouldn't do that. :) |
| 00:17.21 | jlp_znc | I asked him why and he said he liked his fingers and hand |
| 00:17.24 | RyanE | heh |
| 00:17.33 | RyanE | that's a machinist's answer. |
| 00:17.37 | jlp_znc | didn't really want to lose them, you know |
| 00:17.53 | jlp_znc | you can get a pretty nasty burn from a radar jammer pod |
| 00:18.04 | RyanE | I'll bet. |
| 00:18.24 | RyanE | but the nice thing is, at least the stump would be cauterized. :) |
| 00:20.20 | RyanE | My dad was a printer, and there were a lot of ways to get injured doing that, as well. |

| 00:44.22 | jlp_znc | I ran an offset press for a couple of weeks one summer when I was doing temp work |
| 00:44.42 | jlp_znc | printed the text and symbols on cardboard shipping boxes |
| 00:45.28 | jlp_znc | we had a litho press that they used for the individual package boxes (this was the summer I worked at Facet Filters making air filters and oil filters) |
| 00:46.05 | jlp_znc | the litho press was a fast mover... big drums that printed multiple colors. that thing would kill you in a heart beat |
| 00:46.20 | jlp_znc | the offset press would only squash your hand or something |
