MrClifok I'll book mark those thanks.00:23
MrClifI'm also friends with some of the fab at home guys.00:24

kanzurei'm writing00:25
genehacker2what class?00:25
kanzureno, it's a paper for a conference00:25
genehacker2what conference?00:26
MrClifSay, is there a problem with freefab.org?00:27

ybitfenn: what was anselm talking to you about11:50
ybit..at the party11:50
ybithe was intense11:50
MrClifHowdy Hackers. :-)11:53
MrClifI was just watching the youtube SKDB series.11:53
kanzureMrClif: cool :) like?11:57
MrClifYes very cool!11:58
kanzurefor some reason people in france and the netherlands like the videos11:58
Utopiahyes, we do11:59
kanzureUtopiah: where are you from?11:59
MrClifSay I mentioned this to Heath, I have some pretty capable servers over at Paul Vixies place (ISC) that are very underutilised.11:59
ybitswitzerland, no?11:59
UtopiahFrance11:59
kanzureUtopiah: aha11:59
kanzureso it's you :)11:59
kanzurewell you guys are 13% of the views11:59
kanzureMrClif: neat, servers are always wonderful11:59
Utopiahwell, I watched the 3 videos but only once11:59
Utopiahprobably shared it with some local friends but not 500 11:59
ybitMrClif: would you mind hosting papers and books on those servers? :-)12:00
Utopiah(guess I could with the local H+ chapter though, doing it now then)12:00
MrClifnot at all bring it on.12:00
ybitokie doke, prepare for the onslaught then 12:00
MrClif;-)12:00
kanzureMrClif: a mirror of http://bio.cc/Bioinformics/papers/ would be hot12:01
ybitwell, i'm off on a 4 hour trip, fingers crossed i finish up the .deb today -_-12:01
Utopiah(regarding Switzerland I hope my CERN booking will work out, fingers crossed)12:01
MrClifummmm those papers woundn't have any (C) intaglements woud they? :-/12:01
kanzureyou people and your fingers12:01
kanzureMrClif: and you think books wouldn't?12:01
kanzureMrClif: but anyway, skdb hosting would be cool too.. right now it's on a lab server12:01
kanzurejoe rayhawk and some other peeps were offering hosting, but i think we need some mirrors and places to let people work12:02
kanzurethe web framework is based off of people having .git repositories for their hardware12:02
MrClifyep... 12:02
kanzureand lots of people don't really have shells12:02
kanzureare you a linux sysadmin dood?12:02
MrClifI provide shells to responsable people.12:02
kanzureok neat12:02
Utopiahkanzure: actually I subscribed to your YT channel after watching, hopefuly more videos coming (fingers crossed, yes that one is just to be annoying)12:03
MrClifbut ISC gets real twitchy when the port scans start.12:03
kanzurewhat is ISC?12:03
MrClifwhere im hosted isc.org. the home of the F.root nameserver.12:03
kanzureoh shit12:04
MrClifthey are a 501(c)3 and under some scrutney and that gets passed along to the sites there.12:04
kanzurewait does ISC host all 13 of the root name servers?12:04
MrClifno I'm sure they are all over the world12:05
MrClifbut I have lots of disk space and free BW power etc. 12:06
kanzureprops :). i'm really busy today (writing a paper)12:06
kanzurebut i want to look into this12:06
MrClifok We'll talk later then...12:06
kanzureand get some skdb documentation going real soon now12:06
MrClif(RSN) TM ;-)12:06
kanzureyeah :(12:07
MrClifYeah I have to clear my stack of side projects which will take awhile *sigh*...12:07
Utopiahhttp://blog.unptnt.com/ down? relocated? http://www.actualhardware.com/ ?12:21
kanzureunptnt.com probably won't happen.. dave seems to be happy with skdb :)12:37
kanzureactualhardware.com is dave's latest, yeah12:37
Utopiahyou mentionned OSHBank too, what is that?12:37
kanzurehttp://oshwbank.org/12:37
Utopiahah ok, then I guess there was a typo in the PDF< thanks12:38
kanzureoops :(12:40

kanzurehey randallagordon 12:58
randallagordonHowdy12:58
randallagordonstumbled in via a post to diybio...I feel like I've found home...12:59
kanzureyou probably have. what's up?12:59
randallagordonnot much, just figured I'd stop by and see how active the channel is, looks to be quite well used13:00
kanzurewe're really busy trying to come up with more documentation for skdb13:00
kanzurethe response from the conference videos has been more than i expected13:00
randallagordonjust watched the SKDB videos from H+, I'm floored13:01
kanzurei wish i was smart enough to do documentation *before* the conference :)13:01
randallagordonhindsight, right? ;)13:01
kanzureright right13:01
randallagordonI've been loosely follow 3d printers and self-replication for several years, but never did much deep digging... So, seeing all these CNC projects at this maturity level has opened my eyes to the fact that I should have been paying closer attention for a while now!13:03
kanzurewhat were you doing? waiting for the future to happen?13:04
randallagordonOh, no! ...I'm one of those people with too many hobbies to pick just one to focus on13:05
kanzuresure. me too. http://heybryan.org/13:05
randallagordonJust paying attention to other areas13:05
kanzurediybio maybe?13:06
randallagordonhehe, actually I've been digging through your site since I joined the chan ;)13:06
randallagordonNah, diybio I came to recently as well.13:06
MrClifSame here I just joined yesterday after running accross a diybio posting on SEM/FIB.13:07
kanzureit will take me a while to learn what each of you are interested in.. but there's a lot of neat work going on13:08
randallagordonThe past few years I've focused on a combination of user experience/user interface design, getting a bit more serious with graphics design as well as trying to fill in the gaping hole of economics and business that I thoroughly ignored all my life...all in an attempt to try and make a living off what I love to do--work with the web13:08
kanzureybit has taken up making a .deb for skdb, and we need more people making STEP models of awesome hardware13:08
kanzureew, UI :p13:08
randallagordonhehe, UI is important ;) even if it is a struggle13:09
MrClifa good UI will get the projects out into the mainstream. :-)13:10
randallagordonbingo ;)13:10
kanzureoh i shoudl show you the skdb web server thingy i was working on before the talk.. let me turn it on13:10
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org:8081/ have fun13:10
randallagordonplus, I'm getting old...I'm not as quick to jump straight to "RTFM" as I used to be ;)13:10
kanzureas soon as i put up the icons in the "packages" view, people started to understand13:10
kanzurewhich i find amazing.. it's just a few icons. but whatever.13:10
randallagordonmany people have a hard time visualizing complex ideas, even tiny seeds grow into amazing ideas13:11
kanzureyeah i've been looking for a diagram to explain "downloading hardware from the web"13:12
randallagordonit is just timing out on my end13:12
kanzureoh13:12
kanzureuh13:12
randallagordonI'd say show a video of the RepRap or other CNC equipment in action...seeing it happen speaks volumes13:13
randallagordonI was explaining SKDB to a buddy two days ago for about 10 minutes...simply no clarity was coming around...loaded up the video of the RepRap in action and he immediately put everything together13:13
kanzurerandallagordon: try now13:13
MrClifSay in the talk you guys mentioned a $2000 version of the shoptech router, do you have some links to that?13:14
kanzureshoptech? do you mean mechmate? or shopbot?13:14
kanzurehttp://mechmate.com/13:14
kanzurehttp://shopbottools.com/13:14
MrClifyes either I think.13:15
kanzureshopbot is $10k+. mechmate can be thrown together for a few thousand.13:15
MrClifYes that puts it within reach. :-)13:16
kanzureyou can buy used stuff dirt cheap13:16
kanzure.. as long as you can haul.13:16
MrCliffrom ebay for example?13:16
kanzuredunno. i haven't bought anything "big" off of ebay- i guess i'd be careful about shipping rates13:17
kanzurebut if you have a truck, and you have craigslist in the area, and local machine shops, you should be good13:17
randallagordontry metal recyclers...they tend to try and sell off "working" parts rather than melt them down13:17
MrClifok I guess I would be looking for old XY tables.13:18
kanzurehey just a word of warning, many of us in here are totally broke13:18
kanzureso our concept of money and how much stuff should cost is very warped13:18
randallagordonI feel ya there13:18
kanzureso to me mechmate is ridiculously expensive, and shopbot is absurd13:18
kanzureeven though shopbot is technically one of the cheapest deals out there13:19
MrClif;-) got it. I've lived like a starving collage student for most of my life I can relate.13:19
kanzureer wait, it isn't, but it's ranking there13:19
kanzurecollage student huh13:19
randallagordon...far, far less than commercial/industrial solutions13:19
kanzureyes13:19
MrClifby the way I every one teases me about my spelling.13:20
kanzurei literally busted out laughing when i learned that haas stuff costs $100k minimum13:20
MrClifHey, a bit more about me, a long time ago I worked on this project: http://www.bhutan-notes.com/clif/13:22
randallagordonTo play devil's advocate, the flipside is that if you've got a good idea, $100k for a piece of equipment can be made back quickly. The machine then becomes an investment...13:23
MrClifTrue.13:23
kanzureMrClif: so were you using commercial antennas?13:23
randallagordonBut, you've gotta ensure that your idea will generate at least that much in return...which is the difficult part13:23
kanzuresome of us aren't interested in money at all13:23
MrClifyes in that project we were.13:23
kanzurei know that's a bad thing to say. i'm cool with balancing the books, but honestly i just want to make stuff13:24
randallagordonoh, that I get13:24
kanzurecool, cool13:24
kanzureso i'm not going to tell you i'm going to get a trillion percent ROI on blah blah blah13:24
MrClifyou know the Poynting yaggies are only about $14 each.13:25
kanzureMrClif: what is this document? doesn't look quite like a howto13:25
kanzurea report. hm. you wrote it up?13:25
MrClifyes for the ITU you are required to finish a report to get paid. :-)13:25
kanzureyou're my hero: http://www.bhutan-notes.com/clif/images/No_1.jpg13:26
MrClifIt took me foever to get it done but I was somewhat motivated...13:26
randallagordonI would have quoted that word for word several years back...I'm just finding that I can build faster and get further by finding methods to use my ideas to produce the cash up front that I need to pay for equipment to finish the job...the business world, rightfully, gets a bad rap, but there's a need to separate the fact that commerce/business can be a tool just as much as a CNC router...business isn't evil, some people pr13:26
kanzuremy future setup: http://heybryan.org/shots/inspiration/notstevebutjoe/IMG_0872.JPG13:26
randallagordonbusiness methods which doesn't create dependencies within the market they serve13:26
kanzurerandallagordon: yep i think we're on the same wavelength13:27
randallagordon...but most people certainly haven't been given a reason to trust corps13:27
randallagordonmmm, wall of data13:28
MrClifWell its been fun chatting but I have some code to finish before the day is done... 13:29
MrClifCatch ya later.. :-)13:29

kanzurewho was it that was working on the solarnetone project? shogunx? where is he these days13:30
randallagordonPersonally I'm toying with the idea that the "proper" place for an ethical business is one which educates its customers to be able to provide for themselves. So profit begets more profit, rather than draining a market. But making that a reality is the difficult part...certainly not impossible, however.13:32
randallagordonHere's my current project: http://picasaweb.google.com/randallagordon/DIYHydroponics13:53
kanzureneat :)13:54
kanzurei'll look into that more thoroughly later (busy), but someone was in here a few months ago doing hydroponics with a styrofoam cup13:55
randallagordonbeen interested in hydroponics for a while, then got to reading about some of the Controlled Environment Agriculture work being done at Cornell and U of Arizona and now I'm an addict13:56
randallagordonenjoying a sandwhich with some of that home grown lettuce right now :)13:56
randallagordon...and I actually got involved so I could assist a buddy who is selling niche LED lighting products...I'm also an LED addict, so it fit in naturally! See, too many hobbies... ;)13:57

danielfalckare you a programmer?14:32
randallagordonI am14:33
danielfalckI'm not, but I dabble in python14:33
randallagordonNice, I'm a bit on the oldschool side, I still prefer good ol' C ;) Although most of my efforts these days are with the web, mostly on the design side, so little programming14:35
danielfalckmost of my efforts lately have been just trying to get software to play together nicely on my mac14:36
randallagordonBut, my fiance is learning Python at the moment, that's good fun. She's a biology geek, and is at least partially responsible for my showing up here (since she got me interested in bio, eventually I subscribed to the diybio list, and a post there led me here...)14:36
danielfalckso I'm having to learn a little more about make files and other stuff that's just not too fun14:36
randallagordonahh, yes, but all that knowledge will come in very handy down the line14:36
randallagordonbut, yeah, quite boring up front14:37

kanzureyou're already a bot18:52
genehacker2I already know that18:53
fennat the very least, they could each pick a hardware project, describe its fundamental physical legal and performance characteristics, throw that in a yaml file, and aggregate all the design files in a directory18:53
genehacker2excellent idea18:54
kanzurei don't think people know how to make folders anymore18:54

RedeemerHeretic!  Simplicity is heresy!18:55
fennthis would actually be sort of an experiment.. to see if volunteers can assimilate information into a form i can deal with more easily than directly assimilating it myself18:55
kanzureIMHO these volunteers aren't maintainers quite yet18:56
fennyeah that's why i didnt say "have them make an SKDB package"18:56

fenngenehacker's process files?18:57
kanzurebrainfart18:57
kanzureoh they were process.yaml stuff?18:57
kanzuremaybe that explains it18:57
fenni think that's what they were supposed to be.. it was just lists of equations with unlabeled variables though18:57
fennoh, there's lots more process data to ... process18:58

kanzurethe book?18:58
kanzurei thought you dried it up18:58

fenni only did like 12 out of 15018:59
kanzurethe big problem i still see is that nobody is bothering to try heekscad19:00
kanzureand for some reason openscad has been gaining momentum from thingiverse and makerbot19:00
kanzurebut you can't get data out of openscad easily19:01
kanzure(or at all at the moment)19:01
fennyeah it is sort of like pov-ray19:02
fennthat's not necessarily a bad thing19:02
fenni do hope they make some python bindings19:02
kanzuremy mesh to boundary representation code doesn't work yet19:02
fennyet? hah19:02
fennthat's a "Hard Problem"19:02
kanzureyes19:03
kanzureactually it seems harder to code than it is to solve. i see lots of half solutions in the literature, but not much working demo stuff. (probably because everyone goes commercial)19:03
fenni bet it will be a human-assisted process for a long time to come, like OCR19:04
kanzuremaybe the mesh fetism won't last19:04
kanzure*fetishism19:04
fennit's not "fetishism" it's just way easier to write code to deal with meshes19:04
kanzureno i think the issue is that more tools export meshes19:05

QuantumGbunch of times I've had it work just fine though.. bit of ntfsfix makes it all good again.22:06
kanzurei should just take out the hdd22:06
QuantumGyeah, that's the second step if the usb controller fails22:06
kanzureit's a 500GB tombstone.. no point in physically carrying that /anywhere/22:07
QuantumGbut if linux is seeing the usb controller but not the drive, no point22:07

kanzurenote to mums: don't gift me with my old hard drives.22:19
fennso i've actually been using OSX for the last week or so.. it really isn't all that great22:20
kanzurewhat does it do22:20
fennwell it doesn't really do anything special22:21
fenneverything's just slightly different enough to piss off non-mac people, that's all22:21
fennlike no alt-f4 for example22:21
fennand alt-tab switches between applications and not windows, so you have to fuck around with the menu bar if you want to switch windows in an app22:22
fennif i have two terminals open for example22:22
fennand copying in X11 is broken22:22
kanzurewho's mac are you using?22:22
fennanyway i could whine all day, the point is that it's nothing magic..22:23
fennmy brother gave me his old busted laptop22:23
fenntrying to install git right now22:24
kanzuretake notes i guess22:24
fennit's a powerpc and i'm not sure how good the debian support is, or i probably would have wiped the thing and put ubuntu on it by now22:24
fennone or the other22:24
kanzurelivecd check?22:25
kanzurenever too bad to have an extra spare22:25
fenna regular livecd wouldnt work anyway22:27
