MartynOH!  Laser cutter .. neat09:40
kanzureheh eric hunting just watched the youtube videos :)09:42
kanzureguess he really is slow09:42
kanzurewho is our usability expert? what should gnusha.com have instead09:43
jasonwohlfahrtmade any progress on the cherrypy file, kanzure?09:43
kanzureno i've been sleeping since we last spoke09:44
jasonwohlfahrtcool, sleep is good :)09:44
kanzureuser authentication is working, but there's no registration09:44
MartynI'm playing with a 2 axis gantry this morning .. basically an old Flashcut CNC rig without the head.   EMC2 on linux is quite impressive09:46
kanzureis flashcut a brand?09:46
Martynyeah09:46
Martynhttp://www.flashcutcnc.com/8300_prototyping_mill.php09:47
kanzuredave rauchwerk in our neck of the woods wants to go dumpster diving and auctiondiving for old cnc machines,09:47
MartynIt's also software and a control box / mill09:47
kanzuregut out their controllers, and replace it with emc2 compatible ware09:47
MartynMore power to him :)09:47
MartynI'm having all kinds of issues just getting this one to work.09:48
kanzureanything in particular?09:49
Martyn(I believe one of the control boards has fried)09:49
jasonwohlfahrthey kanzure, I might have an older tv for you soon, if you're interested09:49
kanzurewe have at least one emc developer in here09:49
kanzurejasonwohlfahrt: dunno. let me think :)09:49
MartynOh, it's not software .. this is a hardware issue for sure09:49
jasonwohlfahrtcool09:49
jasonwohlfahrtit would be free, of course. but ill let you think on that09:49
Martynheh, someone here at the Riata complex was -throwing away- a 32" LCD screen09:49
jasonwohlfahrtnice09:50
MartynYeah, I asked what was wrong, and they said the backlight quit .. after which I pointed out it could be /fixed/09:50
jasonwohlfahrtand nice to meet you, martyn. don't believe we've met on here before09:50
MartynI hate people who would rather throw away something than try to get it repaired09:50
jasonwohlfahrtme too09:50
jasonwohlfahrtdumpster diving is where it's at09:50
MartynHey :)  Nice to 'meet' you as well.   I'm sure we'll meet soon enough in person09:51
jasonwohlfahrtindeed09:51
Martyn(If you're in the Austin area)09:51
jasonwohlfahrti am. you can furnish an entire house out of dumpsters. met a guy once who did09:51
MartynWell, I don't dumpster dive anymore (used to back in the Silicon Valley, near the factories .. got a lot of Seagate hardware that way)09:51
jasonwohlfahrtcool09:51
MartynIn any case .. yeah, I fixed the TV and brought it back to my office to use as a monitor for presentations09:52
Martyn1920x1080p .. I mean .. sheesh!09:52
MartynGave him $40 for it, and I think it's the best $40 + $35 (for a new cold cathode tube) that I ever spent09:53
jasonwohlfahrtthat's awesome!09:53
Martynalthough installing the new backlight tube was, to be sure, not simple.  Those things are long, and very delicate09:53
jasonwohlfahrthmmm, still that's a mad bargain09:53
MartynYeah, these TV's are $400-500 new .. sometimes more than $800!09:54
jasonwohlfahrtwhen I live with my parents, my dad would go through my trash to make sure I didn't throw away anything that could still be used09:54
jasonwohlfahrtI used to be wasteful like that09:54
jasonwohlfahrthey bryan, do you archive all of the chat transcripts09:57
kanzureyep09:57
jasonwohlfahrtthere's been a few times where I wanted to save what had transpired, but forgot to09:57

kanzureaubrey de grey emailed me :(12:07
kanzure"Hi Bryan,12:07
kanzureI've just been alerted to your transcript of my talk at the Irvine meeting:12:07
kanzurehttp://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/hplus-summit-2009/aubrey-de-grey.html12:07
kanzureIt's... not very good. Not least, and this is how I was alerted to it, it contains a gross mis-representation of my view of the Methuselah Foundation. I'm sure you didn't intend anything, but this is not at all helpful."12:07
kanzure"I'm grateful for your efforts in getting such transcripts up, because I've done such things before and I know how much work it is, but it's really imperative that you run the draft by the speaker before putting it online."12:07
kanzure"If you direct me to the audio from which you did it, I will do some corrections at once, but in the meantime please take the current version down without delay, and le me know when you've done so."12:07
kanzurebut.. there was no audio12:08
genehacker2heh12:09
genehacker2are you sure that's even aubrey?12:10
kanzureyeah we've emailed back and forth a few times12:10
kanzureaubrey@sens.org, adg2424, etc.12:10
kanzurehm there seems to be a direct proportion between the number of times i say 'bloody' in an email and how british the _receiver_ of my message is12:11
genehacker2you told him already?12:12
kanzureyeah12:13
jasonwohlfahrtyum yum, just ate a frozen dinner that actually tasted good. I guess i'd rather not taste good when I'm frozen, lest some futuristic cannibals try to feast on my body12:26
kanzureQuantumG: do you have sutton on your shelf?12:28
genehacker2oh lol that orbo company is having an online demonstration today12:28
genehacker2it looks like they were able to get funding from stupid investors because they seem to have a pretty fancy website12:29
genehacker2stream offline12:31
genehacker2guess something went wrong...12:32
Utopiah(unrelated) any visualization of Google Books?12:36
