| kanzure | hahah | 21:50 |
| ybit | my best friend is a boy named trixie, what are you trying to say? :) | 21:50 |
| kanzure | so if you guys want to infiltrate the 3 day startup mailing list, | 21:50 |
| kanzure | http://groups.google.com/group/3ds-utfall09 | 21:50 |
| kanzure | feel free to totally up-promote anything i write | 21:50 |

| oddboy | :) | 21:51 |
| kanzure | what's up? | 21:51 |
| kanzure | i'm going to be spending this weekend doing 3daystartup | 21:51 |
| oddboy | i've decided to start hanging out on irc more | 21:51 |
| oddboy | :) | 21:51 |
| kanzure | good | 21:51 |
| oddboy | where at? | 21:51 |
| kanzure | austin technology incubator | 21:51 |
| kanzure | it's like a 100 MBA: 2 programmer ratio going on here | 21:52 |

| oddboy | i've been to those events before | 21:52 |
| ybit | oddboy: anything good ever come out of them? | 21:52 |
| oddboy | it's like "OMG, this person has talent, let's hook them up to a yoke" | 21:52 |
| oddboy | erm | 21:52 |
| oddboy | yes | 21:52 |
| ybit | such as? | 21:52 |
| kanzure | i just wrote up an email proposing the gene synthesis bidding website | 21:52 |
| ybit | nice | 21:53 |
| kanzure | oddboy: have you seen http://ybit.ath.cx/images/omnifab.png | 21:53 |
| oddboy | disillusionment | 21:53 |
| kanzure | or http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/web/test.html | 21:53 |
| oddboy | ? | 21:53 |
| oddboy | well, it's not as bad as disillusionment, but it's enough to make you earn a healthy distrust of MBAs | 21:54 |
| kanzure | since when did you have to earn that | 21:54 |
| kanzure | :) | 21:54 |
| fenn | ybit: mostly the color scheme and huge image based letters | 21:54 |
| ybit | speaking of the test site, kanzure, you wouldn't happen to know offhand how to specify that the ul needs to be a 1column, 3 row table (without tables) would you? | 21:54 |
| kanzure | what units are you talking in boy | 21:54 |
| kanzure | bee arrrr beee | 21:55 |
| oddboy | brb, going on a walk | 21:56 |
| ybit | also see omnifab2.png | 21:56 |
| ybit | i was thinking it would be nice to replace "what, how, start" | 21:57 |
| ybit | the arrow needs to be larger | 21:57 |
| ybit | and Gnusha needs to be fixed at some point | 21:57 |
| fenn | the old testament makes much more sense if you take the perspective that yahweh and friends were extraterrestrial people | 21:58 |

| kanzure | god damnit don't scare todd huffman away | 22:09 |
| kanzure | this guy has .. people :p | 22:10 |
| ybit | a few annoying things... | 22:24 |
| ybit | first: | 22:24 |
| ybit | 23:17:27 up 1 min, 2 users, load average: 1.25, 0.53, 0.19 | 22:24 |
| ybit | i had to reboot | 22:25 |
| kanzure | http://www.asmeconferences.org/IDETC2010/CallforPapers.cfm | 22:25 |
| ybit | secondly @font-face doesn't work in uzbl nor firefox (sorry fenn).. however there are javascript options | 22:25 |
| kanzure | http://mason.gmu.edu/~jgero/conferences/dcc10/ | 22:25 |
| kanzure | campbell wants to publish something with me in at least one (or more) of these | 22:26 |
| ybit | and thirdly my webdev minutes are over tonight for the time being since i again am unable to boot into xmonad with a working mouse and keyboard | 22:26 |
| kanzure | it's not @font-face | 22:29 |
| kanzure | it's just "font-family" | 22:29 |
| ybit | had to reboot after attempting to start xorg | 22:32 |
| ybit | it is @font-face, it's a new css feature | 22:32 |
| ybit | check out http://ybit.ath.cx/test/style.css to see it in action! | 22:32 |
| ybit | ..not really | 22:32 |
| ybit | but you can see how you specify it | 22:32 |
| fenn | new css feature... why?? | 22:32 |
| ybit | because _someone_ doesn't like large images | 22:33 |
| ybit | largish* | 22:33 |
| fenn | i must be missing something | 22:33 |
| ybit | you don't like the large text images, so i was going to replace them with actual text with the same font-family | 22:34 |
| kanzure | heh 'text images' sounds like an oxymoron | 22:34 |
| ybit | unless you are referring to svg | 22:34 |
| ybit | that's another option, you can replace the text with svg for webkit and gecko browsers, and use vml for ie | 22:35 |
| ybit | using a little javascript to tie it all together | 22:35 |
| kanzure | you're making this too complicated | 22:35 |
| * ybit goes back to introducing xorg to hald | 22:36 | |
| kanzure | if they bark at each other, make hald sniff xorg's butt to get them acclimated to each other | 22:37 |
| -!- oddboy [n=oddboy@12.157.151.170] has joined #hplusroadmap | 22:45 | |
| kanzure | hello oddboy | 22:47 |
| kanzure | did you get a chance to check out http://ybit.ath.cx/images/omnifab.png or http://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/web/test.html | 22:47 |
| ybit | stop being mean to me | 22:47 |
| kanzure | ybit: ? | 22:47 |
| ybit | terrible attempt at a joke | 22:47 |
| ybit | computer may be rebooting if you attempt to reach ybit.ath.cx | 22:50 |
| ybit | here goes nothing... | 22:50 |
| ybit | aha! | 22:51 |
| ybit | it works, and i know the problem | 22:51 |
| ybit | the mouse doesn't start working until you press ctl-alt-enter to bring up a prompt | 22:52 |
| ybit | er, Mod-Shift-Enter, just for you xmonad nerds. drazak, have you ever experienced this? | 22:52 |
| ybit | okay, back to work | 22:52 |
| ybit | tim__: you have your reprap problem fixed? | 23:14 |
| tim__ | ybit: mostly | 23:31 |
| tim__ | It's printing out quite usable Mendel parts as I type | 23:31 |
| tim__ | Improving quality with every iteration | 23:31 |
| ybit | exciting, isn't it :) | 23:32 |
| tim__ | I still can't figure out how to get Nick's extruder body model to print, but oh well. | 23:32 |
| tim__ | It is! | 23:32 |
| tim__ | PLA is a wonderful plastic to work with... | 23:32 |
| ybit | so how did you _mostly_ fix the problem, i never saw a response in the thread | 23:32 |
| tim__ | I've gotten to VERY high quality parts without nearly as much trouble as Nick - who is printing with ABS. | 23:33 |
| tim__ | ybit: I started printing other parts :D | 23:33 |
| ybit | hehe | 23:33 |
| ybit | i start building mine in ~january-feb | 23:34 |
| ybit | right after i get the car | 23:34 |
| ybit | if my budget stays true | 23:34 |
| tim__ | I asked this in #reprap, but might do here too... I'd like to have a printable "construction kit" ala Erector or Meccano for making on the RepRap - for all those times when you'd like to throw something together, but don't want to take the multiple hours to CAD a custom part and print it. | 23:35 |
| ybit | kanzure: you wouldnt' happen to know a quick-fix for the buttons on the slideshow on http://ybit.ath.cx/test/test.html ? | 23:35 |
| kanzure | what's wrong with them? | 23:35 |
| ybit | they need to be to the right of the image and in 1 column, three rows | 23:36 |
| kanzure | did you try setting display:inline on the ul element? | 23:36 |
| kanzure | or maybe that's the li elements. hrm. | 23:36 |
| ybit | take a look at http://ybit.ath.cx/test/style.css | 23:38 |
| ybit | is that what you are saying? | 23:38 |
| ybit | or are you talking about stripViewer? | 23:38 |
| kanzure | i only see "float: left" on .stripViewer | 23:38 |
| katsmeow-afk | ybit, i find css fails at the stuff tables is best for,, and you can nest css inside a table, or a table inside css | 23:38 |
| fenn | tim do you make your own PLA filament or buy it in bulk? | 23:38 |
| tim__ | fenn: I'm buying in bulk ATM - will be for sale online soon. I have 200lbs coming in a few weeks. Hopefully about a thousand lbs after that, and if that sells, I've already started looking into purchasing my own equipment. | 23:42 |
| fenn | that's pretty hardcore | 23:42 |
| tim__ | The majority of the 200lbs is likely to get snapped up by MiRUG members. | 23:42 |
| tim__ | I apparently take my hobbies seriously :D | 23:43 |
| tim__ | That said, it will be easier for me to get off the ground than most. I've started the MiRUG, which has fostered a LOT of RepRap activity in Michigan, and I'm looking at a 10,000 square foot warehouse space tomorrow morning - in which I would do the plastic extrusion. I am splitting the space in half, and offsetting rent by starting the Grand Rapids area's first Hackerspace in the second half. | 23:45 |
| tim__ | :D | 23:45 |
| tim__ | I'm an energetic fellow. | 23:46 |
| kanzure | cool someone wants to make us some SiC AFM probe tips | 23:46 |
| * katsmeow-afk looks impressed | 23:46 | |
| fenn | how many repraps are there in michigan? 40? | 23:47 |
| kanzure | well at a replication cycle of 1 day, by now there should be.. | 23:48 |
| kanzure | 2048? | 23:48 |
| kanzure | O WIATS | 23:48 |
| fenn | it's longer than 1 day | 23:48 |
| tim__ | I would guess closer to 20 - based strictly on the one's I've seen show up to our meetings. Only 2 are working ATM - mine and Nick (mccoyn)'s. Devon's is _very_ close. We ordered 25 sets of parts for building extruders, and Nick has been printing extruder parts like mad. I intend to do same. | 23:48 |
| tim__ | The plan is to have all of the existing members' repraps working by mid-year 2010. | 23:49 |
| tim__ | Hopefully a few extras will get printed between now and then. | 23:49 |
| tim__ | kanzure: it takes ~ 2weeks to print all the printed parts. Plus time to purchase non-printed parts, build electronics, program, debug, and assemble. | 23:50 |
| tim__ | I'd put a speedy replication at no less than one month. | 23:50 |
| fenn | http://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2009/07/hydraraptors-second-child.html puts build time at 3 days working around the clock, so call it a week to print the parts | 23:51 |
| fenn | hydraraptor is somewhat slower than darwin though | 23:51 |
| tim__ | "I aimed to print these parts over the course of a week, three batches a day, but the machine had other plans and it actually took me two weeks. I will give more details tomorrow. " | 23:53 |
| tim__ | from bottom of page | 23:53 |
| fenn | well it seems like if you're doing this all the time you could work most of the bugs out | 23:53 |
| tim__ | believe me, he already has. | 23:54 |
| tim__ | It will improve with time, but this was already quite a fast replication. | 23:55 |
| fenn | nophead's a hacker.. he pushes the envelope so it makes sense his machine has bugs | 23:55 |
| tim__ | RepStraps are the hardest. There are a lot of assumptions in various places - the firmware, skeinforge, host software. If your machine is not a CupCake, Darwin, or Mendel, you're on your own making the thing work at all - let alone finding settings that work well. | 23:58 |
