06:32 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:32  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:36 < skiboy> morning
06:37 <@Dolemite> skiboy: you ever follow up with Dr. Nichols?
06:37 < skiboy> I still have to schedule a time to come and visit.  I was thinking during the week of Phreaknic
06:38 < skiboy> Things have been super busy lately
06:38 < skiboy> I only just got done with midterms
06:43 < skiboy> I should probably go ahead and schedule that.  I'll put that on my to-do list today
06:43 < skiboy> I'm thinking the 1st of Nov.
06:44 <@Dolemite> Yep, because you never know what his schedule will be like
06:44 < skiboy> I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.  I want to leave a good impression.
06:45 < skiboy> Honestly if I got a job at ORNL, I'd work there until I either retired or died.
06:46 <@Dolemite> That's my plan for me
06:46 <@Dolemite> Of course, I got in before they stopped pensions for new hires.  Now you just get a 401K.
06:46 < skiboy> I think it's a great plan
06:47 < skiboy> Well, I don't know if I'd ever want to retire
06:47 < skiboy> I need to stay busy
06:47 <@Dolemite> You can stay busy without working for someone.  What you get tired of is the bullshit that exists in every job.

06:50 < skiboy> Dolemite: I just designed these: http://skiboy.net/images/nixie.png  http://skiboy.net/images/nixie2.png
06:50 < skiboy> Dolemite: modular nixie tube displays
06:51 < skiboy> Dolemite: chain as many as you want together and make a super long display of tubes
06:52 <@Dolemite> How very retro :)
06:52 < skiboy> :)
06:53 < skiboy> I actually ended up making it smaller and cheaper than this guy's project on hackaday: https://hackaday.io/project/1940-modular-nixie-display
06:54 < PigBot> Title: Modular Nixie Display | Hackaday.ioarrow-downsearchclose-circleuser-addcloseeyecommentusersskullcomplete-circlehardwarearrow-uparrow-down (at hackaday.io) http://tinyurl.com/y8ha562v
06:54 < skiboy> I designed it using the ICs I had lying around.  If I wanted to use the fancy $6 ICs that guy was using, I could get it even smaller
06:55 <@Dolemite> I'm just wondering how much juice a full 6 digit clock would pull.  Tubes are definitely not what you'd consider energy efficient.
06:56 < skiboy> Actually very little
06:56 < skiboy> a few mA
06:56 < skiboy> just at 150-170v
06:57 <@Dolemite> Ah, of course, because it's just 6 tubes.  Now if you were to try to replicate a processor with them, that's another story...
06:59 < skiboy> The Russians just kept making these things until they were told to stop
06:59 < skiboy> and they never told them to stop
07:00 < skiboy> The demand for old stock is so high, that the IC manufacturer in Ukraine that makes the official driver chips actually restarted production of them in 2016

07:01 < skiboy> So I have the same ICs, some dated '88, and some dated '16
07:01 < skiboy> It's insane
07:03 < skiboy> It's really the last place you would expect to buy ICs from
07:03 < skiboy> But they're the only ones producing outdated tech
07:05 < skiboy> But these tubes are selling waaaay under the cost that they took to produce.  When these were made, they were so expensive that making a clock out of them would have been comical

08:38 <@Mirage> dunno why, but i find it mildly funny that Xing MP3 editor v1.0 (1999) still works fine on Windows 10
08:39 <@Mirage> Of course, for some strange reason, my antivirus/security software doesn't recognize it and keeps wanting to run it isolated.
08:40 <@Mirage> couldn't imagine why..=)

11:07 <@dasunt> Anyone ever learn welding?  Got any advice, suggestions, etc?
11:11 < cyberanger> Don't burn yourself, don't stare directly at it & be prepared to sweat.
11:12  * cyberanger isn't a welder, knew a few from a former employer though.
11:16 <@dasunt> Hmmm.
11:16 <@dasunt> I keep running into situations about once or twice a year where welding would be useful, but I don't know squat about it.
11:21 < cyberanger> There's a class that's offered here, seems like everytime I'm between jobs (which is way more often than I'd like) somebody I know suggests getting certified in it.
11:21 <@Evilpig> dasunt: talk to critch
11:22 < cyberanger> I think they offer TiG specifically, I think the program is all over the region too.
11:47 <@dasunt> Evilpig: Critch?
11:52 <@Dolemite> Find a Boy Scout.  Welding and Metal Working are two of the 10 most popular merit badge courses.
12:40 <@Evilpig> dasunt: I'm pretty sure he does welding among other things
12:40 <@Dolemite> he does
