| wolfspraul | why did the qi-bo say Allie Zapien? | 05:58 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfspraul | qi-bot | 05:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | even in bold :-D | 13:03 |
| wolfspraul | yeah I'm always borderline worried someone rooted the server :-) | 13:14 |
| wpwrak | maybe a new species reached sentience ? it sounds a bit like an allusion to "homo sapiens". maybe our new overlords prefer to call themselves "allie zapien", and chose freenode as their means to introducing themselves to humanity. | 13:20 |
| lars_ | and it is even on twitter Allie Zapien | 13:24 |
| lars_ | http://twitter.com/Allieggansi | 13:24 |
| wpwrak | maybe a glitch from the twitter gateway ? twitter pushing the wrong data or such | 13:29 |
| wpwrak | it's cryptic when behaving as designed. who could tell a few bugs thrown into the mix ? :) | 13:29 |
| wolfspraul | well I had my fair share of server rootings in life | 13:33 |
| wolfspraul | and it was always some tiny little evidence that finally lead to the realization "damnit, the entire server is rooted" | 13:33 |
| wolfspraul | rootkits are nasty | 13:33 |
| wolfspraul | and I am quite liberal in handing out root access too :-) | 13:33 |
| wolfspraul | at least 10-15 people have root access to the Qi server, plus many other accounts for other critical software. oh well. | 13:34 |
| wolfspraul | Allie Zapien - let us know who you are if you don't mind :-) | 13:34 |
| wpwrak | i don't think it's anyone on this channel | 13:37 |
| krispaul | bet twitter bug with qi-bot considering other Allie Zapien accounts were suspended | 13:38 |
| krispaul | and i hope qi-bot dont run as root either ;) | 13:38 |
| krispaul | s/either/atleast | 13:38 |
| lars_ | qi-bot: !reboot | 13:39 |
| wolfspraul | :-) | 13:41 |
| viric | hm I've a board with a smd ic that reads the logo of ST, and 1st row: 393, and 2nd row, I'd bet it says: EZ546, but could be E2S46 or so. I feel most sure on E and 46 | 16:39 |
| viric | but I can't find any mention anywhere of the combinations I can think of | 16:40 |
| wpwrak | do you know what it does ? | 17:00 |
| viric | it's part of a circuit that has a termistor and a potentiometer, and decides whether to switch something on or not | 17:08 |
| viric | that's my guess | 17:09 |
| wpwrak | ah, detection of incoming ICBMs and initiation of response. i should have thought of that. | 17:10 |
| viric | that's another context, right? | 17:10 |
| wpwrak | USSR 1980es ? :) | 17:10 |
| viric | ahh no no :) | 17:10 |
| viric | it's a circuit that switches on a home heater | 17:11 |
| viric | and it looks like it stopped checking the temperature properly | 17:11 |
| wpwrak | ah ") | 17:11 |
| wpwrak | to it may be a comparator | 17:11 |
| wpwrak | or an opamp | 17:12 |
| viric | why wouldn't I find a datashete? | 17:12 |
| viric | sheet | 17:12 |
| wpwrak | http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/LM/LM2903.pdf | 17:12 |
| wpwrak | 8 pins ? | 17:13 |
| viric | yes 8 pins | 17:13 |
| wpwrak | that;'s your chip then | 17:14 |
| viric | what makes you think so? :) | 17:14 |
| wpwrak | th LM393 is one of the most common comparators, if not the most common :) | 17:15 |
| viric | it has '393' over it | 17:15 |
| viric | it does not have a corner indicator... | 17:16 |
| viric | but well, I'll try to understand a circuit as if it was a LM393 :) | 17:19 |
| viric | wpwrak: in any case, thank you a lot, btw :) | 18:49 |
| GordonFreeman | hi | 20:05 |
| GordonFreeman | i have just made a milling machine outof a scrap dvd drive, it turns an 1mm diameter diamond milling bit at variable RPM, i have cut a cd in half with it as test | 20:05 |
| wpwrak | viric: np :) and good luck ! :) | 20:46 |
| wpwrak | GordonFreeman: wow. just one DVD drive ? for how many axes ? | 20:47 |
| GordonFreeman | only the miling machine, it does not have axes yet :) | 20:49 |
| GordonFreeman | so, the main drive motor, and the driving electronics | 20:49 |
| GordonFreeman | but i'm building CNC machine with 3 axis, and i use stepper motors from scrap printers | 20:50 |
| GordonFreeman | and those nice silver-steel shafts mmm | 20:50 |
| wpwrak | hmm. nice :) didn't think dvd motors were that strong | 21:11 |
