[00:22] <WoodyPC> hello. Sorry I was eating supper
[00:28] <WoodyPC> It is sure lonely down here in South-East Texas for a Friday night. Anyone up for a chat?
[00:29] <WoodyPC> It is now 7:30 pm
[00:49] <Ardonel> sorry, missed your reply...
[00:49] <Ardonel> WoodyPC: how goes things in the south?
[00:50] <WoodyPC> How often do people log into this channel?
[00:51] <Ardonel> very sporadically in the time I have been here...
[00:51] <Ardonel> some times there have only been 5 people logged in for weeks...
[00:51] <Ardonel> so 12 is good
[00:52] <WoodyPC> Do yall just chat here and/or help ubuntu newbies?
[00:53] <Ardonel> not all that much chat in here... the last 3 days or so have had more chat than I remember in a while...
[00:53] <Ardonel> I help where/when/if I can...
[00:53] <WoodyPC> Yeah me and tiwake talk a couple hours yesterday.
[00:54] <Ardonel> what is your 'nix flavor?
[00:55] <WoodyPC> I have been using Ubuntu for a few years now. I still call myself a newbie/moderate helper.
[00:56] <WoodyPC> I went straight from Windows to Linux, literally overnight and will not go back to Windows.
[00:56] <Ardonel> I have 1 Debian, 1 Ubuntu server, 2 Linuxmint with Cinnamon, and 1 Linuxmint with Xfce... plus Tomato on a Linksys, and currently undecided on my RasPi2...
[00:57] <Ardonel> and next week I will be adding a new install of Xubuntu 16.04
[01:00] <Ardonel> I quit using MS as my choice 15 years ago... I have had some growings pangs getting used to not having it, especially as I did IT tech support, but it gets easier every year...
[01:00] <Ardonel> It helped that I got out of doing tech support except for the family...
[01:01] <WoodyPC> I have 2 Ubuntu, 2 LinuxMint with Xfce, 3 Zorin, 4 Homemade Pocket PC with Tiny Linux and my trusty old 486 dx4-100 with DOS 6.22. lol
[01:02] <WoodyPC> I own my PC desktop/Laptop repair business. Been in biz for 25 years and still cooking.
[01:03] <Ardonel> my low end box, if you want to call it that, is a Sun Sparcstation 5...
[01:04] <WoodyPC> I offer on New Builds and for people wishing to get away from Microsoft, Any Linux Distro they want.
[01:04] <WoodyPC> Holy, Really?
[01:04] <Ardonel> and I think I might have a P2 around here somewhere...
[01:05] <WoodyPC> I don't have a Server yet. That comes later this year.
[01:07] <WoodyPC> I do, however, have a PS2, PSOne, Nintendo (Super and 64), WII, Sega Genesis, Original Atari, Intelevision and Commodore.
[01:08] <Ardonel> I have 5 older systems from Sun, 4 of them pizza box style, the other is a mid-tower... 1 SGI Indigo2... an Ultrasparc based 2U server... an old-school Macintosh server G3... and a couple of Compaq Proliant servers...
[01:08] <WoodyPC> And How old are you? lol
[01:09] <WoodyPC> I'm 48
[01:10] <Ardonel> 6 intel or amd based mid-towers, 2 laptops, PS2, Wii, 3 tablets, 3 phones, and a router that can oly handle allowing 20 MAC addresses for connection at one time...
[01:10] <Ardonel> 48 on June 13...
[01:10] <WoodyPC> Do you work in the IT field?
[01:10] <Ardonel> did I mention a Pi2 (mine and a Pi3 (sons)...
[01:10] <Ardonel> not anymore...
[01:11] <WoodyPC> Would you like to again?
[01:11] <WoodyPC> Part-time?
[01:11] <Ardonel> naw, I am happy where I am at right now... but thank you for asking...
[01:12] <Ardonel> I read some about you from the backlog, so allow me to introduce myself...
[01:13] <WoodyPC> I didn't mention all the components I have built and own. I would need a bigger chat box OR a couple hours of your time.
[01:13] <WoodyPC> ok
[01:14] <Ardonel> my name is Garen Evans II, I am soon to be 48, married 14 years to my wife, and we have a 12 year old son...
[01:15] <WoodyPC> Just curious, But you wouldn't happen to live in the Houston/Kingwood Area would you?
[01:16] <Ardonel> We rent our house (we live in a duplex), and a large portion of our time (and money) go into the Boy Scouts of America, where my son is a second class scout, I am an assistant scoutmaster among other things, and my wife is on our troops committee...
[01:16] <Ardonel> We live in south Fort Worth...
[01:17] <WoodyPC> I'm a little South of Livingston
[01:17] <WoodyPC> Your name looks familiar to me for some reason.
[01:18] <Ardonel> but I think it would be cool to see your place... you could camp in your own backyard, if you didn't already live there...
[01:18] <WoodyPC> I been to many IT and Tech events over the years and met 100's of Techs.
[01:19] <WoodyPC> Yeah, that's true
[01:19] <Ardonel> as far as I know, there are only 4 Garen Evans in the USA... my father and myself are two, one is a professor up north, and I think the last one is a professor at A&M...
[01:20] <Ardonel> and there is at least 1 soccer player in Europe that shares the name...
[01:20] <WoodyPC> You remember the last Hurricane we had here a few years ago.
[01:21] <WoodyPC> Our big farm is still being re-built.
[01:21] <WoodyPC> But, We still go camping out on the back 40.
[01:22] <Ardonel> sounds like the kind of place you could invite the local scout troop to camp in exchange for some service project/conservation type work...
[01:22] <WoodyPC> I have researched my name as well and there are a LOT of Charles Wood in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
[01:24] <WoodyPC> If you could attend one of our Family get togethers, You would find out real fast that if you holler for Charles, 6 men are gonna say, "What?"
[01:24] <Ardonel> or they will all ignore you...
[01:24] <WoodyPC> yep
[01:25] <WoodyPC> Yall got a website or Blog for your troup?
[01:25] <WoodyPC> troop
[01:26] <Ardonel> other than sitting for days on end logging this channel, what other internet interests do you have... online mmo, chat forums, alpha game development...?
[01:26] <Ardonel> T499.org
[01:28] <WoodyPC> I start working with script writing about 4 months ago. Not very good yet. (lol)...I love to play online gaming, I just haven't found the right one yet. Always looking to venture into something new.
[01:28] <Ardonel> what scripting/programming skills do you have?
[01:31] <Ardonel> or rather, experiences...
[01:32] <WoodyPC> Not that it means anything in todays world....But....Back in 1989, I started working with IBM DOS, but it really wasn't DOS until Microsoft cut there version. I wrote a lot of Batch programs and later upgraded to c/c++.
[01:33] <WoodyPC> Perl. And then took a few years off of that and started building my own PC's from scratch, sort-of.
[01:33] <Ardonel> windows batch files are sorta similar to shell scripting...
[01:35] <WoodyPC> yeah, I am still learning a lot. Taking a online build course for shell scripting every Wednesday night.
[01:35] <Ardonel> I do Perl for a couple of company special projects, have done some Python, some PHP, even some LUA scripting while trying to sort out other peoples mod for Minetest...
[01:36] <Ardonel> good for you on taking the course...
[01:36] <WoodyPC> How hard is Python? I have skimmed over it, but don't really understand most of it.
[01:38] <Ardonel> it is different for everyone... for me, I find parts of Perl, Python, and PHP very similar... other people tell me I am nuts (which is not really relevant, and may or may not be true)...
[01:39] <WoodyPC> What do you know about RenPy?
[01:40] <Ardonel> and the more you do stuff with them, the more you can find to do... several years ago, some friends and I challenged each other to write semi-automated chat bots in Perl, Python, and PHP... it was very eye-opening to see each others code when it was over...
[01:42] <Ardonel> I have heard of it... I believe it was in the default Debian install for the RasPi
[01:43] <WoodyPC> You do know that programming back in the days when that was my job...As a programmer we were paid per/line. So we would add, what people today call "Easter Eggs" into the game or whatever we were building at the time.
[01:45] <WoodyPC> Yeah, it on my Pocket PC's. I just didn't know much about it. I will find out. I know a couple of friends that build games with it.
[01:45] <Ardonel> I attended DeVry in Irving, I was the defacto code auditor for the underclassmen taking mainframe JCL/Cobol/DB@....
[01:46] <WoodyPC> Ever done Cobalt?
[01:46] <Ardonel> er, DB2... remember to let go of the shift key...
[01:47] <Ardonel> the element?
[01:47] <WoodyPC> I looked at your Troop site. Looks nice. Did you guys build it?
[01:48] <WoodyPC> yes, the Element.
[01:48] <Ardonel> someone else did, and to me it is badly hacked together... but they told me it's not my monkeys, and not my circus...
[01:49] <Ardonel> only in chemistry/physics class back in HS...
[01:49] <WoodyPC> yeah, that's what they usually say.
[01:50] <Ardonel> they may have made mention of it at Nuclear power school during my Navy time, but if so, I have forgotten a lot from those years...
[01:51] <WoodyPC> What years did you serve?
[01:51] <Ardonel> 87-92
[01:52] <WoodyPC> I know you have heard this a 1000 time, But here at the Wood Farm, We honor our men and women who serve this country. So again, Thank you...
[01:53] <Ardonel> you are welcome... I also go out of my way to thank my fellow veterans...
[01:55] <WoodyPC> Not to bring politics into this conversation...., But, The idiot running our country, at the moment, needs to be "Banned" from the U.S., just because of what he didn't do for our veterans.
[01:56] <Ardonel> IMO, one of the people trying to run the country should be jailed for crimes against servicemen...
[01:57] <WoodyPC> Holy Moly, Someone finally gets it.
[01:57] <WoodyPC> Sorry, I forgot, You are approx. my age. Of course you get it. My apologies.
[01:58] <Ardonel> while I would love to talk with you on a great many subjects, it is bedtime for me... have to get the family up early to go volunteer at the local produce co-op...
[01:59] <WoodyPC> Well talk again later and maybe sometime your troops can do an outing on the farm. night
[01:59] <Ardonel> night
[02:02] <tiwake> back
[02:02] <tiwake> WoodyPC: don't leave me
[02:02] <tiwake> lol
[02:02] <tiwake> Ardonel: hey :3
[02:03] <WoodyPC> here
[02:03] <WoodyPC> hello
[02:03] <WoodyPC> hey
[02:04] <tiwake> WoodyPC: can you email me the two company names that I was applied for? lol... I'd like to see if I can find out what they do, etc.
[02:06] <WoodyPC> I got a long phone call today from them both....They told me to tell you that they filled 5 of their positions. They also said that they are going to keep your resume because they like what they see on it.
[02:07] <tiwake> oh ok
[02:07] <WoodyPC> Mr Cord still wants to talk with you
[02:07] <WoodyPC> So he said sometime around lunch on Tuesday
[02:08] <WoodyPC> And don't worry, I have lots of business friends to chat with.
[02:08] <tiwake> heh, I'm not worried about getting a job, I am however more concerned about getting a good job...
[02:11] <tiwake> I'm not entirely suer what the best job is for me though... kinda ties into "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
[02:11] <tiwake> there are people 80+ years old still trying to figure that out
[02:13] <WoodyPC> yeah, I'm 48 and I still don't know. I just keep doing what I am good at.
[02:14] <tiwake> so what two companies were they?
[02:14] <tiwake> lol
[02:15] <tiwake> they know a lot more about me than I know about them... normally its the other way around
[02:15] <WoodyPC> gimme a sec and I will show you their websites.
[02:21] <tiwake> oh, I almost forgot I put anodizing on the resume
[02:23] <WoodyPC> This is one of the Company site. Cord said to show you this one, He said to tell you that his site is in maintenance tonight and should be up at his new server tomorrow and he will text me the address. http://www.lowrancemachine.com/
[02:24] <tiwake> oh nice, thats some fancy stuff
[02:25] <tiwake> heh, of course the pictures are always going to be the fanciest things ;)
[02:27] <WoodyPC> I think Cord gave me a good site for you to see, because that is the kind of things that both he and Mrs. Stevens does.
[02:28] <WoodyPC> That site is actually one of his friends and competitotrs. lol
[02:28] <WoodyPC> oops misspell
[02:30] <tiwake> hmm, I'm trying to remember the name of that company
[02:31] <tiwake> rigpower
[02:32] <WoodyPC> Isn't funny how you can be friends and competitors.
[02:32] <tiwake> WoodyPC: pretty much everything on this (except the injection rubber molding) I have made... http://www.rigpower.com/images/stories/rmp_ii_catalog.pdf
[02:33] <tiwake> heh, most of it without any drawings XD
[02:33] <WoodyPC> those are cool
[02:34] <WoodyPC> so whatcha up to on this Friday night? Other than irc chat?...
[02:34] <tiwake> was 11.5 hours at work because a couple of mechanics are not there and the shop is busy
[02:35] <tiwake> so now? just IRCing to relax
[02:35] <WoodyPC>  you gonna ground them on Monday?
[02:35] <WoodyPC> I would.
[02:35] <tiwake> ground them?
[02:35] <tiwake> oh, quit?
[02:36] <WoodyPC> Yeah, You know, Treat them like kids that don't wanna work...Say: You are grounded...
[02:36] <WoodyPC> However, you might get the finger on that one.
[02:37] <tiwake> oh lol... no.. at least not like that. the shop manager is old time family friends
[02:37] <tiwake> really nice family
[02:37] <WoodyPC> that's good.
[02:38] <WoodyPC> have you met, Ardonel?
[02:38] <tiwake> I did tell him that I was actively looking for a job in texas though, and I don't think I'd be moving next week
[02:38] <WoodyPC> on here?
[02:38] <tiwake> well
[02:39] <tiwake> before I was hired told him I was going to be looking for a job in texas
[02:40] <WoodyPC> Ardonel said that the conversations on this channel happen every now-n-then.
[02:42] <WoodyPC> Seems to me, that if you are going to have a IRC channel, You would atleast have a time set for meetings when we can "All" chat, together.
[02:42] <tiwake> enh
[02:43] <WoodyPC> enh?
[02:43] <tiwake> I forget the acronym for IRC that is often used
[02:44] <tiwake> idling relay chat
[02:44] <tiwake> or something
[02:44] <WoodyPC> ah
[02:44] <tiwake> thats why IRC bouncers exist
[02:44] <WoodyPC> Where I come from: Internet Relay Chat. That whatcha mean?
[02:45] <tiwake> right, but the joke is that everyone idles instead
[02:45] <tiwake> because its IRC
[02:45] <tiwake> heh
[02:45] <WoodyPC> yep, they do...except people like me. I don't idle, I chat OR I get outa here.
[02:46] <tiwake> aww
[02:46] <WoodyPC> lol
[02:46] <tiwake> you should idle, cause you might miss conversations
[02:46] <WoodyPC> Ok, maybe I idle a little.
[02:46] <tiwake> like I would have missed your and Ardonel's conversation, except I was at work and idling :P
[02:47] <tiwake> right now I'm using ZNC to stay connected https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZNC
[02:47] <WoodyPC> I was pretty sure that you would be on shortly after I got on.
[02:50] <WoodyPC> Where you live at, Are there any respectable outings to attend? You know where the HOT women hang-out?
[02:50] <tiwake> no, everyone is a farmer here
[02:50] <WoodyPC> lol
[02:50] <WoodyPC> Yeah, we have to go Houston to do or see anything fun.
[02:51] <tiwake> when I was in montana, and living in bozeman next to the college however...
[02:51] <WoodyPC> Let me guess....They go to bed before the chickens and wake up before the Rooster?
[02:52] <tiwake> enh
[02:52] <tiwake> not really
[02:53] <tiwake> its just the three industries here is either dairy farming, fishing, or logging/lumber
[02:53] <tiwake> heh
[02:53] <WoodyPC> Well I will tell ya that after our chat the other night, By the time I got in bed, I got 3 hours sleep and put in 12 hours. Whooped ain't the word for it.
[02:53] <tiwake> I wouldent mind having a full beard but I would look too much like a logger, so I keep it trimmed back quite a bit XD
[02:54] <tiwake> oh yeah bleh... why do that to yourself?
[02:54] <tiwake> lol
[02:54] <tiwake> also you should type faster
[02:54] <WoodyPC> I slow, But I talk fast.
[02:55] <tiwake> maybe I just like telling machines what to do too much, and why I like text
[02:55] <WoodyPC> My dad used to tell me that I could sell a piece of ice to an eskimo and he wouldn't know what hit'em.
[02:56] <tiwake> vocals are so... enh.. smushy... text is more concise
[02:57] <WoodyPC> So I tried it, But it was old truck I had and it run real good, nothing major wrong with it and the first person that looked at it, drove away with it. pretty good for my first sale at age 17.
[02:58] <tiwake> heh
[02:58] <WoodyPC> It was a 1978 GMC pickup
[02:58] <tiwake> I think I'd have too much fun selling stuff... but the buyer would literally know everything about it, the good stuff and the bad stuff
[02:58] <WoodyPC> What's funny is the guy that bought it back then, Still drives it today.
[02:59] <WoodyPC> Of course, it looks new now. He did a frame-off restore.
[02:59] <tiwake> "its a good solid car, won't ever break, but the oil filter is in literally the worst spot"
[03:00] <WoodyPC> no shoot on that one.
[03:00] <tiwake> "I mean come on, its the most changed out part on a car, and its the worst place ever"
[03:00] <tiwake> hehe
[03:00] <WoodyPC> notice "shoot" and not "s**t"
[03:01] <tiwake> thats kind of how my selling would go... every time
[03:01] <tiwake> lol
[03:02] <WoodyPC> do you ever idle on the #Ubuntu channel?
[03:02] <tiwake> I have in the past
[03:02] <tiwake> used to help out a bunch
[03:02] <tiwake> been too busy, so I eventually just left it
[03:03] <WoodyPC> Well, If you ever need help doing something, The man to ask is Bashing-om....
[03:03] <WoodyPC> he must have grew up with linux.
[03:03] <tiwake> I have a few simi-IRL friends who know pretty much everything
[03:03] <tiwake> I also hang out in #linuxcnc
[03:04] <WoodyPC> If it were not for him, I would still be in the "Dark Ages"...
[03:04] <tiwake> who know literally everything about anything thats manufactured
[03:04] <WoodyPC> Do you use All your fingers to type or just a few?
[03:04] <tiwake> all of them
[03:05] <tiwake> lol
[03:05] <tiwake> its a group effort
[03:05] <tiwake> ha
[03:05] <WoodyPC> I use 8 of 'em
[03:05] <tiwake> thinking of what to say takes the longest for me
[03:06] <WoodyPC> I have had hand tremors since I was in my late 20's and as I get older, they are more shaky. So typing gets harder each year.
[03:06] <tiwake> but, with my mechanical keyboard, its nice when you want to get rid of somebody on the phone... just type stuff on IRC and hang out but say on the phone that you are really busy, with the obvious background noises of the keyboard blazing away
[03:08] <WoodyPC> I take a balance of vitamins and herbal things to make it easier to use my hands and finger more productively.
[03:08] <WoodyPC> fingers
[03:08] <tiwake> I don't know if garlic will help, but it helps for literally everything else
[03:08] <tiwake> also my favorite seasoning
[03:08] <tiwake> <3
[03:09] <WoodyPC> Yeah and also, if you don't want to kiss ya girl that evening. LOL
[03:09] <tiwake> not worth it if thats the case
[03:09] <tiwake> :D
[03:11] <WoodyPC> gotcha...My rile of thumb: You can never have to much Garlic. My wife's rule of thumb: Wanna kiss? Go use some breath mints. lol
[03:11] <tiwake> kisses are over rated, garlic is not.
[03:11] <WoodyPC> yep
[03:12] <WoodyPC> But sometimes a kiss is like a small piece of heaven shining on you.
[03:13] <tiwake> so is garlic? I got nothing on that comment...
[03:13] <WoodyPC> I tell ya what's fun...That's making out while on the tractor plowing the fields.
[03:14] <WoodyPC> I can't drive very straight while that's going on, though.
[03:14] <tiwake> lol
[03:14] <WoodyPC> Hey have you ever used RenPy?
[03:15] <tiwake> no
[03:15] <tiwake> I havent really done any python stuff
[03:16] <WoodyPC> Yeah, I just installed it last night. I am writing a Visual Novel and I am going to use RenPy to help me out.
[03:16] <WoodyPC> with the project.
[03:16] <tiwake> oh interesting
[03:17] <tiwake> just googled it
[03:17] <tiwake> I thought it was a library... heh
[03:17] <tiwake> thats actually really cool
[03:18] <tiwake> I just linked it to a different IRC channel/network that has a bunch of art/writers in it
[03:18] <tiwake> WoodyPC: what do you do for hobbies?
[03:19] <WoodyPC> And I am still learning a lot. I am not writing one of those "sex" stories...There is enough of that on the internet. Mine is more of my life story, just with different names and artwork will be of models.
[03:19] <WoodyPC> Fishing, fishing and more fishing.
[03:19] <tiwake> writing?
[03:20] <WoodyPC> gocarts, 4 wheeling, camping, fishing, writing, mudding, 1/4 mile strip racing.
[03:21] <tiwake> oh lol.. those old mud computer games?
[03:21] <WoodyPC> haha
[03:22] <tiwake> what kind of car do you have for the dragstrip?
[03:22] <tiwake> and powerhouse
[03:22] <WoodyPC> Actually, I really like to take my 1971 VW Bettle, converted chassis to hold a small block 350 and put it on the strip. Now that's FUN!!!
[03:24] <tiwake> I'm building up a V6 mustang into an awesome thing
[03:24] <WoodyPC> If we ever meet each other, I will pick you up in it and let ya drive it. You'd love it.
[03:25] <WoodyPC> It will boil in all 4 gears.
[03:26] <tiwake> my friend is going to be pushing about 750hp when he is done rebuilding his 1996 mustang
[03:26] <tiwake> lol
[03:26] <tiwake> is yours all-wheel drive or something?
[03:27] <tiwake> mine is going to end up with about 350hp
[03:27] <WoodyPC> believe it or not, just rear wheel. And to get in it, You pull what would be the trunk handle and the body lifts up.
[03:27] <tiwake> oh lol
[03:28] <WoodyPC> I didn't have to do that, I just like to be different.
[03:28] <tiwake> yeah
[03:28] <tiwake> you should look at the cobra kit car :D
[03:29] <WoodyPC> I've seen some.
[03:29] <tiwake> cheap and lots of power
[03:30] <tiwake> my friend and I were talking about making a rally car/truck out of a mustang
[03:30] <tiwake> and calling it the monstang
[03:30] <WoodyPC> This will blow your mind...What I really want to build is one of those military style jeeps. Everything is delivered in a couple of crates, except the engine.
[03:30] <WoodyPC> that would be neat.
[03:32] <tiwake> chevy 350... hmm
[03:33] <tiwake> what kind of horsepower does it push?
[03:36] <WoodyPC> sorry had to go to the restroom. About 290, approximately.
[03:36] <WoodyPC> give me a second, I will be right back.
[03:37] <tiwake> oh huh... that lathe does not have a DRO on it
[03:39] <tiwake> that one might, but its hard to tell
[03:45] <WoodyPC> i back
[03:45] <tiwake> I'm going through the pictures on the website
[03:45] <WoodyPC> which pics
[03:45] <tiwake> http://www.lowrancemachine.com/photo-gallery/
[03:45] <WoodyPC> ah
[03:46] <WoodyPC> you like whatcha see?
[03:46] <tiwake> looks like standard shop stuff
[03:46] <tiwake> some of the lathes I don't see a digital readout
[03:46] <tiwake> digital readouts make manual work so much faster
[03:47] <tiwake> I could install DRO's... have done it before XD
[03:50] <tiwake> WoodyPC: did you show them the couple of pictures of the ruger 10/22 receiver that I made?
[03:50] <WoodyPC> no sir, but I can.
[03:51] <tiwake> probably not
[03:51] <tiwake> hmm
[03:51] <tiwake> enh, only do it if you want
[03:54] <WoodyPC> Whatcha watching on T.V.?
[03:54] <tiwake> listening to this funny youtube video
[03:54] <tiwake> heh, funny song
[03:54] <WoodyPC> link me
[03:54] <tiwake> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pY0gZRb8kE
[03:55] <tiwake> made by canadians
[03:56] <WoodyPC> yep, that ones goofy
[03:58] <tiwake> those pictures (and website) is who's company again?
[03:59] <tiwake> was it the monday gal or the tuesday guy?
[03:59] <tiwake> or somebody else entirely, but very similar companies
[04:00] <WoodyPC> It is Cord's Friend and competition.
[04:00] <tiwake> ah, alright
[04:01] <tiwake> well, it looks like a pretty standard machine shop, but a lack of DRO's it seems
[04:01] <tiwake> on the machines
[04:01] <tiwake> the pictures might be old though... just a little thing I noticed at second glance
[04:01] <WoodyPC> Yeah, I'm gonna have to get onto him for that. lol
[04:02] <tiwake> the mill looks like it has one, but using an old CRT screen for the readout? it could be for something else
[04:02] <tiwake> http://www.lowrancemachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Lowrance-Machine-Shop-Employee-EL.jpg
[04:03] <WoodyPC> I saw that. I'm glad Cord has new equipment in his shop.
[04:05] <tiwake> had the CRT screen on one of the CNC lathes at the shop go out... pulled it out and took it somewhat apart... did some testing.. traced the issue down to the power regulator circuitry... basically stopped because most of those IC chips are not made anymore and would be difficult to wire in a similar chip, retrofited in
[04:05] <tiwake> so I found a chinese made LCD screen drop-in replacement for cheap and got that XD
[04:09] <WoodyPC> I believe that I am about to call it a night. Gotts get up early and plow and mow the lower fields. How about we chat again tomorrow evening or night....?
[04:09] <WoodyPC> gotta
[04:09] <tiwake> heh, alright
[04:10] <tiwake> TTFN
[04:10] <WoodyPC> see ya later, man..night
