| 16:07.16 | jlp_znc | programmerq: is your blower direct drive or does it have a belt? maybe you just need a new belt. |
| 16:11.49 | programmerq | honestly, I'm not sure. I'm still trying to get an HVAC technician out, but I ordered a capacitor just in case. |
| 16:12.49 | programmerq | I should probably find a model number |
| 16:14.38 | programmerq | I can freely spin the squirrel cage fan by hand, so I doubt it's a belt in the way. |
| 16:18.33 | jlp_znc | I'm thinking the belt broke. |
| 16:18.51 | jlp_znc | (if there is a belt) |
| 16:20.55 | programmerq | no, the blower does turn a bit |
| 16:21.07 | programmerq | googling the symptom put me onto the capacitor being an issue |
| 16:21.20 | programmerq | there are a few youtube videos that show my same problem pretty clearly |
| 16:21.39 | programmerq | it hums, the motor turns a bit-- trying to start up, but never actually turns enough to get going. |
| 16:21.52 | programmerq | supposedly you can hand start it when it does that, but I'd rather not try. |
| 16:22.18 | jlp_znc | ahh, okay. yeah, hand starting would require the door to be open (and you to defeat the safety interlock switch). |
| 16:22.25 | programmerq | and my hand to be in the blower |
| 16:22.57 | jlp_znc | has a tiny scar on his middle finger courtesy of a garage door opener back in 1982. |
| 16:23.44 | jlp_znc | you could use a stick to spin the blower without putting your hand in danger (I wish I had used a stick to flip that switch inside the garage door opener) |

| 17:01.08 | jlp_znc | opener had a motor with a belt driving a chain drive. there was a little bracket on the chain that would trop a DPDT switch inside the machine when the door reached the top or bottom, turning off the motor and switching it so the next activation would go the opposite direction. |
| 17:01.38 | manithree | covers his ears |
| 17:02.15 | jlp_znc | the bracket had fallen off of the chain. I looked in, saw the switch, and flipped it, not thinking that it would immediately start. the big pully started turning and, as I was yanking my hand out of the machinery, it caught my middle finger against a support brace, cutting it to the bone. |
| 17:03.00 | jlp_znc | I stood there on top of the car for a minute before I realized that the red spots appearing on the (white) car roof were coming from my finger. |

| 19:17.53 | jlp_znc | yeah, it was a little surreal. I was leaving for college the next morning and my brother and I had pulled his car into the garage to load it up while our parents were at bowling (he had a 66 Plymouth Fury III... beautiful boat of a car) |
| 19:18.20 | jlp_znc | my folks got home, dad put the garage door up, noticed we had parked right in the middle of the garage, and hit the button to put the door down. it didn't go down. |
| 19:18.54 | jlp_znc | he comes storming into the house wondering what we did to break the garage door. I went out to take a look, climbed up on the roof of the car, and looked inside, where I saw the toggle switch. |
| 19:19.56 | jlp_znc | after I jumped down off the car and walked into the house, clutching my finger (putting direct pressure on it, right?), my mom saw and dragged me into the bathroom and started running cold water over it. then it started to hurt. |
| 19:21.17 | jlp_znc | wrapped it in a towel and dad drove me to the base hospital emergency room, where a bored tech sergeant looked at it and told me a doc would be in to take a peek. three hours later, a captain (the doc) walked in, spent about two seconds looking at it, said it needed stitches, and walked out. I never saw him again. |
| 19:21.44 | jlp_znc | the tech sergeant came back in, had me stand by the sink, and scrubbed the hell out of it with betadine. yowch. |
| 19:22.09 | jlp_znc | then he put three stitches in it, put a pressure bandage on it, and taped my (middle) finger to this big metal brace. |
| 19:22.31 | jlp_znc | "take the stitches out in two weeks or come back and we'll do it for you" |
| 19:23.18 | jlp_znc | two weeks later, I was at school, 200 miles away, so I just took them out myself. I have this lovely wishbone shaped scar as a memento. |
| 19:24.08 | jlp_znc | loads of fun taking notes in class with my middle finger strapped to a big metal brace to keep me from moving it. |
| 19:39.27 | RyanE | on the bright side, made it that much easier to flip the bird. :) |
| 19:44.42 | jlp_znc | I could do it without even intending to! |

| 21:37.37 | youtah | So... if you were to load Linux onto an old, rinky dink, netbook... which version (looking for something light) or distro, would you choose? |
| 21:38.15 | youtah | It's one of the very first Eee PC's with the Atom processor |
| 21:38.19 | youtah | running Windows 7 |
| 21:38.30 | TodPunk | probably mint? |
| 21:38.49 | youtah | think that's light enough |
| 21:38.50 | youtah | ? |
| 21:38.55 | youtah | I do like mint |
| 21:41.04 | frostyfrog | youtah: I originally ran Ubunut, then Ubuntu Netbook Edition/Redux, then Xubuntu, then Archlinux. |
| 21:41.09 | frostyfrog | Then the machine dies. |
| 21:41.13 | frostyfrog | died* |
| 21:41.28 | frostyfrog | But not after a few years of using Arch. |
| 21:53.34 | youtah | and what did you think of all of them? |
| 21:53.38 | youtah | which would you go to now today? |
| 21:53.47 | youtah | has a bias towards debian |
| 21:58.08 | spangborn | SCOLinux 4 lyfe |
| 22:12.38 | youtah | rolls his eyes |
| 22:17.12 | unum | I think the window manager is much more important than the distro |
| 22:17.26 | unum | I'd do debian just because i'm partial to it |
| 22:17.56 | unum | but really what ever you are used to with a light weight window manager is best |
| 22:18.28 | youtah | yeah |
| 22:18.30 | youtah | for sure |
| 22:18.35 | youtah | good points |

| 22:27.01 | gtmanfred | does it support x64 bit? because i had one that was that old, and it def did not |
| 22:27.06 | gtmanfred | so you shouldn't run arch on it |
| 22:27.21 | youtah | it is not 64 bit |
| 22:27.28 | gtmanfred | yeah, arch dropped 32 bit |
| 22:27.34 | gtmanfred | go with debian imo |
| 22:27.39 | gtmanfred | or centos |
| 22:27.46 | gtmanfred | mostly i hate ubuntu, and debian to a lesser degree |
| 22:27.50 | gtmanfred | fedora probably works still |
| 22:28.44 | youtah | 1,66Ghz, 1GB of ram and 32 bit |
| 22:28.47 | gtmanfred | deb based distros need to stop starting services before i have a chance to configure them |
| 22:29.04 | gtmanfred | 1Gb of ram, god, probably a single core hyper threaded? |
| 22:29.09 | youtah | lol |
| 22:29.10 | youtah | yup |
| 22:29.20 | youtah | this was literally one of the Original Netbooks |
| 22:29.26 | youtah | it was like $200 |
| 22:29.29 | gtmanfred | yeah |
| 22:29.30 | youtah | back in, 2008? |
| 22:29.36 | gtmanfred | i had an eeepc h something |
| 22:31.12 | youtah | Oh |
| 22:31.15 | youtah | maybe not the first one |
| 22:31.26 | youtah | this was the 1005HA |
| 22:31.53 | gtmanfred | i think i had that same one, before a homeless person broke into my truck and stole it in 2012 |
| 22:31.54 | youtah | "The 1000HA (released in October 2008) also costs less than the 1000H, but has the same Intel Atom 1.6 GHz CPU, a 160 GB HDD, and 1 GB of RAM. It also has wireless and on some models, Bluetooth." - Wikipedia |
| 22:31.55 | gtmanfred | actually |
| 22:32.01 | youtah | lol |
| 22:32.07 | gtmanfred | i think it had a version or two later because mine had 64 bit |
| 22:32.09 | gtmanfred | and 2 G of ram |
| 22:32.23 | gtmanfred | though i think i had to buy the second gig of ram from frys or somewhere |

| 22:33.50 | youtah | I had to hack the registry and disabled several services so that way I could get it to allow me to change the Background Wallpaper |
| 22:34.08 | youtah | I mean |
| 22:34.18 | youtah | that is what I heard you would have to do... if you wanted to do that |
| 22:34.20 | youtah | of course |
