00:01:00 <gee_man> i tried submitting a patent for an animated colour qr code a few years ago, didn't go anywhere
00:01:00 <gee_man> it was too similar to the existing qr codes
00:02:00 <gee_man> if i tried submitting it myself i'd be $2000+ short with no return
00:05:00 <gee_man> you'd need a prototype if you see a patent attorney, doggyrat
00:31:00 <doggyrat> sorry i was away for lunch vanilla pudding 1 liter still half left
00:32:00 <gee_man> now i'm hungry
00:32:00 <gee_man> lol
00:32:00 <gee_man> brb
00:32:00 <doggyrat> well if i would send you some , it will run away as soon as you would open the box :P
00:36:00 <doggyrat> let us assume that the 3D printing of all parts would cost US$ 15 , all screws and linear bearings US$ 15 , usb camera US$ 30 and that would be the basic setting
00:37:00 <gee_man> ok
00:37:00 <doggyrat> using a VR glasses for your smartphone would cause another US$ 15 ( simple and cheap )
00:40:00 <doggyrat> the most expensive parts , which are optional are the two 2.5" lcd screen with controller about US$ 150 - 200 , raspberry pi US$ 50 - 60 and the battery needed to supply these
00:41:00 <doggyrat> additional units
00:43:00 <gee_man> i'm not completely sure, but you might run into some copyright issues with the raspberry pi
00:43:00 <gee_man> it depends on the license of raspberry pi, it may require that you're not allowed to sell it
00:44:00 <gee_man> you may want to look into licensing, or use orange pi, or something else that has a less restrictive license
00:45:00 <doggyrat> i do not intend to sell anything , if the guys what one of those they need to print it on their own and buy the addition part listed on a list
00:45:00 <doggyrat> a kind of free open source project
00:46:00 <gee_man> hmm ok
00:46:00 <doggyrat> all prices are the prices you would pay buying a short amount
00:47:00 <gee_man> if you want the army to use it, you'd need a prototype, in fact they're probably not going to use it unless you sell it to them
00:47:00 <gee_man> i'm working on an open source calendar/todo list, but i've found i have forgotten how to program, so i'm re-learning
00:48:00 <doggyrat> i have to learn programming too
00:48:00 <gee_man> do you know which language?
00:49:00 <doggyrat> it would be an unofficial not certified equipment that soldiers might not be allowed to used
00:49:00 <doggyrat> should learn python and c++
00:50:00 <gee_man> i would start with python as a beginner, but if you dive right into c++, it's a much more powerful language
00:50:00 <doggyrat> raspberry pi and usb webcam including lcd is a kind of multimedia device , which they should be allowed to have
00:52:00 <gee_man> i'm not sure about the raspberry pi, the military legal aspects would be challenging, they need guarantees in writing that a lot of open source software doesn't support
00:54:00 <gee_man> but if you're talking unofficial, i can't really offer any advice
00:55:00 <doggyrat> i would have no chance to sell that officially , only to terrorists which i do not intend to do
00:56:00 <gee_man> yes, but it'd be illegal to give it to soldiers if it's not approved
00:56:00 <doggyrat> i will work over the 3D files and try starting printing as soon as possible
00:57:00 <gee_man> ok
00:57:00 <doggyrat> it is a multi media device that the soldier bought for entertainment
00:58:00 <gee_man> that would come under scrutiny
00:58:00 <gee_man> you could be getting yourself into trouble if you don't do it officially
00:58:00 <doggyrat> ohhh what a coincidence that it fits behind the scope
01:00:00 <doggyrat> i need to take my nap talking tomorrow
01:38:00 <gee_man> i keep reading the same section of code examples over and over and it just won't sink in
01:53:00 <electrohead> what are you trying to do?
01:53:00 <gee_man> learn about prototyping in javascript
03:50:00 <^pHANTOM^> \o
03:50:00 <gee_man> waddup ^pHANTOM^
03:50:00 <gee_man> i should stop saying waddup and stick to my 'ey'
03:51:00 <^pHANTOM^> either is fine
03:51:00 <gee_man> something about the pH makes me say it
03:51:00 <^pHANTOM^> not much just chillin
03:51:00 <gee_man> i'm submitting fixes to tutorials, not sure how they're going to react
03:53:00 <gee_man> once i had 3 acid tabs, like the good kind
03:53:00 <gee_man> i took 1, waited what seemed like 20mins, thought "this isn't working"
03:53:00 <gee_man> took the other 2
03:53:00 <^pHANTOM^> what kind of tuts?
03:53:00 <gee_man> sat in front of a computer
03:53:00 <gee_man> long story short, there was a ufo sighting in the paper the next day
03:54:00 <^pHANTOM^> ok
03:54:00 <gee_man> javascript
03:55:00 <^pHANTOM^> nice man
03:55:00 <^pHANTOM^> you code?
03:55:00 <gee_man> trying to learn, yeah
03:55:00 <^pHANTOM^> nice good stuff.
03:55:00 <gee_man> it seems the people that wrote these tutorials skimmed over corrections
03:55:00 <gee_man> skimmed over what needed correcting i mean
03:56:00 <gee_man> learning about prototyping at the moment
03:56:00 <^pHANTOM^> yep
03:57:00 <electrohead> javascript is a different beast, heh
03:58:00 <gee_man> it's up there with 'brainfuck'
03:58:00 <electrohead> heh
03:58:00 <gee_man> new versions are released almost monthly
03:58:00 <gee_man> so i haven't caught up to what it is to code 5 years ago, let alone 2 months ago
03:59:00 <^pHANTOM^> lol
04:00:00 <gee_man> i guess they're applying agile to the language
04:00:00 <^pHANTOM^> no idea?
04:01:00 <gee_man> it's my guess
04:01:00 <gee_man> if i had my way, i'd be programming c
04:18:00 <gee_man> here's hoping chat window interceptions on websites for legitimate issues are dealt with properly in future
05:14:00 <gee_man> ey ld0g
05:15:00 <gee_man> did i borrow money for cigarettes from your relative (brother, or cousin, i think?) and then pay you back instead of him because he had a debt with you?
05:15:00 <gee_man> and then i got you unbanned from austnet?
05:16:00 <gee_man> or am i getting you mixed up with someone else?
05:20:00 <ld0g> aye man
05:20:00 <ld0g> nah u didnt pay me back
05:20:00 <ld0g> did u want to payid me now
05:21:00 <gee_man> lol
05:21:00 <ld0g> i was going go get some maccas
05:21:00 <gee_man> obviously someone else
05:21:00 <ld0g> awww come on
05:21:00 <ld0g> its 2.21am and im hungry
05:21:00 <gee_man> are you drunk?
05:21:00 <ld0g> nah i just woke up
05:21:00 <gee_man> just make a sandwich
05:22:00 <ld0g> i had sandwiches during the day
05:22:00 <gee_man> i'm down to my last $10 for the next month
05:22:00 <ld0g> alright i'll take that
05:23:00 <gee_man> lol
05:23:00 <gee_man> dude you could work for it, but i ain't paying you shit
05:23:00 <ld0g> i dont work
05:23:00 <gee_man> i mean tryna work me into giving you free money
05:23:00 <gee_man> let it go
05:24:00 <ld0g> uhuh
05:24:00 <ld0g> its ok
05:24:00 <ld0g> i got money just cant be assed getting up
05:24:00 <gee_man> the dude i paid back in the day had a similar name
05:24:00 <gee_man> can't remember his nick tho
05:25:00 <gee_man> his name was wesley or something
05:25:00 <ld0g> awww ok i dont know but ive never been banned from austnet
05:25:00 <ld0g> much loved around these parts
05:25:00 <gee_man> after i paid him, i thanked him 'cause i was so desperate for nicotine
05:26:00 <gee_man> so i thought i'd do him a favour and get him unbanned
05:26:00 <gee_man> that was back when cigarettes costed like $15 a pack
05:26:00 <ld0g> yeah nah nicotine would kill ya would never give someone money for smokes
05:27:00 <ld0g> now if u wanted heroin or something
05:27:00 <gee_man> right... :p
05:27:00 <ld0g> hahaha
05:28:00 <gee_man> i knew a different dude addicted to heroin asking about when centrelink money gets put into bank accounts
05:28:00 <gee_man> it varies between 11pm and 6am
05:29:00 <ld0g> yeah
05:29:00 <gee_man> he'd hang outside an atm repeatedly checking until he got paid to score
05:29:00 <ld0g> im usually the same but with food
05:29:00 <ld0g> but i worked out when mine is in
05:29:00 <ld0g> centerlink are fucked
05:29:00 <gee_man> yeah it's pretty consistent nowadays now that we have payid/osko
05:29:00 <ld0g> they will cut me off this week
05:30:00 <gee_man> that sucks dude
05:30:00 <ld0g> i cant really work until my court case is over in march because they told me to prepare for jail
05:30:00 <ld0g> so how can i search for jobs
05:30:00 <ld0g> there fucked
05:31:00 <gee_man> get your po to call centrelink at 8am so there's no wait
05:31:00 <ld0g> centerlink are ok its the job network provider
05:31:00 <ld0g> having to repeat the same story over and over'
05:31:00 <gee_man> centrelink could deal with it
05:32:00 <gee_man> skip the middle man
05:32:00 <ld0g> yeh i did that last few months coz i had a letter from rehab p[lace
05:32:00 <ld0g> just this month coming have to deal with it
05:33:00 <ld0g> my lawyer told me not to work anyway well i got this court case pending
05:33:00 <gee_man> ah ok
05:33:00 <ld0g> he said for me to focus on getting well
05:33:00 <ld0g> which ive done
05:34:00 <ld0g> but im ready to work now its just i want to know if im getting jail time or not
05:34:00 <gee_man> maybe your lawyer could contact the job agency or centrelink
05:35:00 <ld0g> yeah i'll sort it out when they cut the payments
05:36:00 <gee_man> i guess you could just like explain yourself every week to the job agency, which is frustrating, but best to do it before you get cut off, otherwise you'll have to reapply and that's a fuckaround
05:36:00 <ld0g> not like there payments go far once rent is paid
05:38:00 <ld0g> stopped applying for jobs last week hearts just not in it atm
05:38:00 <ld0g> waste of everyones time if they end up jail me
05:39:00 <gee_man> yeah but what if they don't
05:39:00 <gee_man> it's a bti of a self-fulfilling prophecy if they do
05:40:00 <ld0g> yeah well next time i speak to my lawyer i'll say ive done what he said too and mention to them im not working atm due to this pending court case but if im not being jailed and on probation then i can look for work
05:40:00 <ld0g> so they dont hold me not working against me
05:40:00 <gee_man> sounds like a plan
05:41:00 <ld0g> im out on bail now and havent done nothing wrong
05:41:00 <ld0g> so that works in my favour i guess
05:41:00 <gee_man> should do
05:42:00 <gee_man> you might go stir crazy if you've got nothing to do tho
05:43:00 <ld0g> im already crazy
05:43:00 <gee_man> same
05:43:00 <gee_man> i mean less crazy tho
05:43:00 <ld0g> i used to do drugs everyday and i was happy then i got arrested so i cant really do drugs anymore
05:43:00 <ld0g> so im not happy since then
05:43:00 <gee_man> gotta find something to do instead
05:43:00 <ld0g> so i have to go back tio work :D
05:44:00 <ld0g> have no choice cant sit around doing nothing
05:44:00 <ld0g> does my head in
05:45:00 <gee_man> This problem was recently asked by Google.
05:45:00 <gee_man> Given a list of numbers and a number k, return whether any two numbers from the list add up to k.
05:45:00 <gee_man> For example, given [10, 15, 3, 7] and k of 17, return true since 10 + 7 is 17.
05:45:00 <gee_man> Bonus: Can you do this in one pass?
05:45:00 <ld0g> dont really want to do drugs either but its all ive known for 20 yrs its hard to change
05:45:00 <ld0g> i have no idea
05:46:00 <gee_man> it's possible to change, i believe that it's possible, otherwise i'd still be a mess
05:48:00 <gee_man> if i were you, i'd look for something to learn, maybe read some books or something
05:48:00 <gee_man> online tutorials, etc.
05:49:00 <gee_man> free ones
05:49:00 <gee_man> that'd look good for the lawyers
05:51:00 <gee_man> well, it's morning, so i'm going to get some sleep and try waking up earlier in the arvo
05:51:00 <gee_man> seeyas
