00:01 <@Dagmar> Also, PbCr batteries are HEAVY
00:01 <@Dagmar> Who would have guessed that they make them with a LOT OF LEAD
00:03 <@Evilpig> Never would have guess with Pb involved that there would be heavy ass lead in the mix

12:54 <@dc0de> has anyone ever done any kite photography? e.g. taking pictures from a lifting kite?
12:57 <@Corydon76-home> dc0de: Does taking pictures from a hydrogen-filled weather balloon count?
12:58 <@dc0de> well, that'd be Aerial photography... but not kite photography...
12:58 <@dc0de> how did you trigger the shutter release?
12:58 <@Corydon76-home> It was on a timer, every 20 seconds or so
12:58 <@dc0de> aahh k.
12:59 <@Corydon76-home> The problem with a kite is that due to the anchor string, your photos would likely all be blurry
13:00 <@Corydon76-home> But ask Peaches about it next time he's on.  He's going to school for professional photography, so he might be able to be more specific about the issues therein
13:00 <@dc0de> actually, it depends on the type of kite, and where the gear is positioned, I was thinking of using a lifting kite, which allows the placement of the equipment some 20' below the kite.
13:01 <@Corydon76-home> Yeah, I suppose you could put stabilizers around the gear, to minimize lateral movement
13:01 <@Corydon76-home> but every little bit is more weight, and that's a big restraint on a kite
13:01 <@dc0de> two points of connection with the kite...
13:02 <@dc0de> lifting kites are specific, and can carry some very heavy loads.
13:03 <@Corydon76-home> That's also why I would suggest a balloon... if you require more weight, you simply get a larger balloon and pump more gas
13:03 <@dc0de> good point.
13:03 <@Corydon76-home> Interesting engineering problem, though
13:04 <@Corydon76-home> especially if you're building the kite yourself
13:04 <@dc0de> well, I was thinking about buying a double parasled.
13:04 <@Corydon76-home> The experience I've had with balloon-based photos was part of the TABEL-4 project

13:07 <@dc0de> 5.8 earthquake in DC
13:09 <@Corydon76-home> The Berkeley site appears to be using a 4-point harness.
13:11 <@dc0de> yup.

13:13 <@Corydon76-home> TABEL-4 is quite a bit heavier than the maximum recommended by the kite site.  Kite suggests 2 lb max, TABEL-4 was 7lb, 4oz
13:14 <@Corydon76-home> IIRC, the heaviest part of the payload was the batteries, meant to ensure photos all the way through several hours of flying time
13:21 < eryc> 5.9 and it wasn't anywhere close to that in DC
13:27 < Todd> Felt it here in Raleigh.
13:27 < eryc> it was like 30mi from raleigh right?
13:29 < eryc> er i was thinking of richmond
13:29 < eryc> r*
13:29 < Todd> Richmond is like 157 miles from here

19:07 <@Evilpig> oh gees.  forcing the video on demand to use the cell service.  I can see how it would be easier for them to control access to it that way but that is a bullshit reason
19:13 < eryc> Colorado has experienced several earthquakes close to Monday?s size in recent decades ? a magnitude 5.3 near Denver in 1967 and a magnitude 5.7 in the state?s northwest corner in 1973 ? both of those quakes were ultimately determined to have been caused by human activity, from explosives or drilling.

23:06 < eryc> I think the best part of today's earthquake was hearing everyone question whether it was "just them who felt it". Really? Do people have any grasp of reality anymore?
23:07 < RangerZ> just say... "what are you talking about, that doesn't happen here... have you had enough iron and potassium in your diet, it can make you weak kneed" LOL
23:28 <@Evilpig> eryc: I have given up all hope of people around me having any grasp on reality.
23:44 <@Bahhumbug> reality is for the weak.
23:55 <@Evilpig> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eqSZSO_sSE  that's a neat project someone had.  stop motion video inside a stop motion video
23:59 <@Evilpig> and the dumbshit begins his shift again with a cleaning of the desk that nobody but him uses
