00:00:10 <Nothing\> oooh lotsa interesting goodies in here, and one big ass can for the antenna
00:00:33 <Nothing\> ooh and it's a modular can never seen one of those
00:01:23 <Nothing\> why on earth would they have a rectifier in this if it runs off of nimh batteries
00:04:11 <K> integrated charger?
00:04:24 <K> with ac wallwart
00:09:20 <Nothing\> could be for the base station
00:09:46 <K> yea
00:09:47 <Nothing\> but then, why would it need to be powered while it's on the base stationr other than for the bare minimum of functions
00:09:54 <Nothing\> it's not like you'd actually be using it
00:12:19 <K> on the base station - charging
00:22:15 <Nothing\> lol what the hell
00:22:30 <Nothing\> the can in this phone isn't even made of metal, it's just painted plastic
00:29:02 <Nothing\> weird, the ICs are all in really solid metal packages
00:29:55 <K> how old is the phone?
00:30:01 <K> metal or ceramic?

01:10:45 <Nothing\> hahaha cool
01:11:03 <Nothing\> K: actual metal packages, it's pretty old, circa mid 90's
01:11:20 <Nothing\> heh though, i just wired up a switch to switch between my ps2 and wii on my tv
01:11:38 <Nothing\> the switching doesn't work yet, but i was at least able to get a useful signal to come out of it
01:12:04 <Nothing\> quite a bite of distortion on it though, probably noise from the breadboard, i'm thinking maybe i should put a metal backplane on it to reduce the noise
01:13:45 <Nothing\> using 4066 analog switches, would be easier if i had spdt switches but i've gotta wire my own
01:30:20 <Ampera> Hi Nothing\

03:40:16 * T3sl4 drizzles maple syrup on ThunderSqueak
03:40:27 * ThunderSqueak leaves to go shower.
03:40:38 <T3sl4> might as well have a proper pancake-and-sausage-ish breakfast :P
03:41:16 <ThunderSqueak> nah, counting calories
03:41:28 <ThunderSqueak> these are 190
03:41:36 <ThunderSqueak> so 1 once in a while is fine
03:41:41 <T3sl4> ah, right

03:42:58 <steve30> *purr*
03:43:24 <ThunderSqueak> so yeah I am now on a bunch of new meds and on a strict diet o.o
03:43:30 * ThunderSqueak had a health problem.
03:43:58 <T3sl4> as long as they don't make you allergic to virtual cats, i don't see how that's a problem
03:44:12 <ThunderSqueak> ok
03:44:15 <ThunderSqueak> ^^
03:44:23 <steve30> Yay health problems. Looks like my medication is going up in price :S

03:45:56 <ThunderSqueak> hmm
03:46:02 <ThunderSqueak> top of junk sale bin
03:46:54 <ThunderSqueak> my car is getting the windshield replaced today
03:49:11 <T3sl4> well, that's something that wasn't good, but will be good now
03:49:18 <T3sl4> unless insurance didn't cover it >_>

03:50:16 <ThunderSqueak> got a small chip, called the insurance company right after it happened asking where to take it to get a chip repair for free as I have a 0usd deductible with full coverage. That way they did not have to replace it. They said they would have the glass company call me right away. I made sure to stress that it needs to be done right then as the weather here is changing rapidly between day and night. glass company did not call until 3
03:50:16 <ThunderSqueak> days later... to repair a chip. I said "too late, chip is now a crack across it" They conferenced in my insurance agent as it now needed a complete replacement
03:50:30 <ThunderSqueak> oh insurance covers it
03:50:33 <ThunderSqueak> <.<
03:51:23 <ThunderSqueak> the issue is the crack is right up the middle of the driver side
03:52:53 <ThunderSqueak> the insurance company seemed annoyed with the autoglass company
03:53:08 <ThunderSqueak> turned a 5 dollar repair into something expensive
03:53:42 <T3sl4> bleh
03:53:50 <ThunderSqueak> brb
03:53:59 <ThunderSqueak> apparently my vpn is messing with irc
03:54:00 <T3sl4> well, it's... well, i'd say it's their money, but ultimately their incompetence comes out of everyone's premiums, so yeh

04:55:05 <steve30> i think i'll go to bed soon
04:57:55 <T3sl4> good luck :P
05:00:03 <Nothing\> well i'll be damned
05:00:10 <Nothing\> apparently you can use a diode bridge as a switch
05:00:42 <Nothing\> still trying to work out how, but it's intriguing none the less
05:00:52 <Nothing\> also belated hello, Ampera
05:01:05 <Ampera> hello Nothing\
05:01:11 <Nothing\> how's life?
05:01:17 <Ampera> next question
05:01:29 <Nothing\> right on
05:01:39 <Ampera> I'm watching man in the high castle
05:01:43 <Nothing\> you know just like, got me by the brain banana
05:01:52 <Nothing\> is that any good, also have you read the book to compare?
05:01:59 <Ampera> never read the book
05:02:02 <Ampera> and yes it's very good
05:02:16 <Ampera> although I don't deal well with tension in films/shows, so this kinda has me on the edge
05:02:18 <Nothing\> i tried watching the first episode but as far as i could tell it had nothing to do with the book so i didn't bother past the 5 minute mark at best
05:02:29 <Ampera> I get too deep into what I watch, so if shit starts getting dicey it's a bit painful
05:02:30 <Nothing\> yeah i don't like watching heavy stuff either
05:03:08 <Ampera> I love history and this sort of alternate history stuff
05:03:24 <Ampera> and I like dramas I guess, but it's not the sort of show I can stick on another monitor and put 50% attention to
05:03:41 <Ampera> so I'm having to watch it dead on, unlike Star Trek, which I liked for being sort of background programming I can watch while doing other stuff to
05:03:48 <Nothing\> actually i've grown away from movies and tv for the most part anyways, i might watch an old show every few months, like i watched a few seasons of the simpsons recently, and likewise i might watch one older movie or two a year but that's it
05:03:55 <Nothing\> and usually it's something lighthearted
05:04:08 <Nothing\> i've gotta have my full attention on what i'm watching, though
05:04:20 <Nothing\> i feel it's a waste otherwise
05:05:08 <Nothing\> either missing parts of something i may enjoy, or not giving the other activity the full attention it deserves in lieu of paying attention to a movie or thing i don't even like
05:05:43 <Nothing\> even when i watch/ed stuff i was extreme picky about what it was
05:07:00 <Ampera> It depends, this is a really really deep show so I can't just multitask
05:07:27 <Ampera> the plot is thick, and there were legit times when I didn't know if two characters were the same character, or if one character was two
05:07:36 <Ampera> and got it wrong both times that happened
