<0> the most likely hardware failire now is a broken reset button, ctrl alt del worn out and a crushed forehead
<0> on paper my pc rocks
<0> neat CPU, nice enough mobo, just-nice-enough-graphic-card-but-not-for-long, really nice HDD
<0> some respectable ram
<0> but whatever i do it doesnt function
<1> deltree c:*
<1> the best thing you can do to your windows ;0
<0> regedit is more fun
<1> mayhaps.
<0> bit by bit, see more and more things fail
<1> lol
<1> although
<1> hammer to the hdd could be fun
<0> can be very satifying sometimes
<0> nooo!
<0> its a raptor damnit
<1> lol
<0> expensive stuff
<1> expensive ;0
<1> yeah
<1> lol
<0> i like to delete the .dir key most
<0> you cannot open folders any more :)
<1> hah
<0> really funny to do with someone elses pc
<0> prefebaly someone you dont like
<2> if you want some amusement sometime, switch the keyboard to German
<0> allright
<2> on a standard US keyboard the sole effect is to switch the Y and Z keys
<1> whats that command to screen flip...
<1> theres some series of keys that flips your screen in windows
<3> I like to take a screenshot with the start menu open and mouse hidden away in a corner. Then move all their desktop icons somewhere temporary
<3> and watch them struggle to get explorer.exe to respond
<0> right
<0> i got it on german
<3> er.. the most important step: set the screenshot as wallpaper
<2> lol
<0> i think i see most fun when im programming
<0> still something i might learn one daz
<0> daz!
<0> huh_
<2> yup
<0> right
<0> now i got german czrillzc
<0> or something
<0> ydco co e. erpat
<0> ,aaaad!
<1> rofl
<0> abf,af
<4> folks, is there a need to do a "static const enum myEnum { PEN = 0 }", or are all enums const by nature? Do they even have storage? or only compile time resolution?
<0> n.y-o o.. orm.ydcbu .no.
<2> you can remove the static and const from that
<0> right
<4> sorry, I missed the answer, my connection gt lost
<2> you can remove the static and const from that
<4> ok, because there is no storage? is it only compile time resolution?
<0> born2reboot?
<0> sounds a bit like me...
<0> lol
<5> do i have to include a lib to use mmsystem.h ?
<6> this sounds like a job for google man!
<6> winmm.lib
<5> thanks
<5> took less keystrokes to just say the name of the lib than to tell me to search google, but thanks :)
<6> never hurts to lecture people who ask such questions
<3> But in the long run if you start using google, we'll all use less keystrokes
<3> I'm even wasting some now :(
<6> hmm, i need to figure out if virginia has accrued vacation payout laws
<6> apparently not
<6> neither does florida, so i can't make a case that i accrued vacation time while working there
<7> Have you been screwed
<6> no, but i would like to quit and get paid for the time i haven't taken off
<6> or set my quit date out so that i can use the time
<6> and as they don't have an office in virginia, i wonder which state's laws they're bound to
<6> though washington state doesn't have the law either
<6> microsoft paid it out voluntarilly
<7> http://groups.google.com/groups?q=how+quit+vacation+time+paid
<7> Also remember unemployment ins. and severance and other stuff
<7> The financially correct way to quit is a bit of a science
<6> having another job lined up is enough for me
<6> but i want to be paid for vacation or be allowed to take it
<6> only seems fair
<8> So, yesterday a 480VAC motor controller failed on the conveyor system and the entire maintenance dept. insisted we had no replacement parts.
<8> So I waited until first shift left so that I didn't have to answer to a bunch of disgruntled maintenance people and dug around in their shop.
<8> I found a different model unit with a sufficient rating, called up the GM who is also something of a hot rodder in his spare time. We worked from about midnight until 5:00 AM and fixed the thing.
<6> yep, company policy to payout vacation at base pay rate
<6> woot
<6> that just makes dealing with local laws easier for companies that are all over the place, like mine
<6> since about half of the states require payout
<8> I intend to specialize in conveyor systems and make buttloads of money. This is way too much fun.
<6> you = nuts
<8> Why?
<6> granted it sounds a lot more fun that what i'm doing
<6> than
<6> you're still nuts though
<8> How do you figure?
<6> your nickname starts with j
<6> and then b
<6> that's frightening close to JBlitzen
<7> He's jb2
<8> That's just discriminatory.
<9> yikes
<8> So, anyway, from what I gather, interfacing conventional computer systems to PLCs and automation systems is something that's very specialized, yet it isn't actually very hard.
<8> There aren't that many people who know how to do it, but really, you just need basic electrical knowledge, and the ability to read the component manuals.
<7> There are quite a few fields like that
<8> Yep, yep.
<7> Specialize in something and do well in it and you'll be on the road to success
<7> Just be aware that the more specialized you get, the harder it is to move up from it
<6> JBlitzen should know, he specialized in how to please solamente
<7> You're just jealous
<10> jbatista: that's possible..
<8> So, anyway, now when you open the electrical cabinet for the conveyor, you see the row of controllers, and then there's the one I wired in, which is tiny and looks completely different. I think it was meant to operate a sewage pump, or something.
<8> We had to tie it into the PLC, and transfer over all of the parameters from the old one, and it works perfectly. </bragging>
<11> I missed the opening tag
<11> you must have been bragging for a while
<10> heh
<10> hm
<10> jbatista: the issue of interfacing, is just about what you need
<10> jbatista: you can run canbus from the computer to the plc or rs232.. is you would like..
<8> Never heard of canbus. I'm just getting started in the field. Our devices are Rockwell and we use DeviceNet.
<10> jbatista: you can make a generic interface and re-use it.. for moving parameters and stuff to the pc and back..
<8> Probably. The device we put in uses something called modbus, but since we were making an emergency repair, it was better to just walk all the values by hand via the front panel.
<10> yeah, if it's a one off thing
<8> When the real replacement part comes in, it'll probably get replaced again and relegated to "spare" status.
<10> if you are doing stuff for production machines it's quite different :)
<8> Which might be a good thing, since it's currently mounted with a single screw.
<10> :)

<12> click the picture of teh cave to make it bigger
<12> and try to spot the 2 helicopters inside that cave.
<6> looks like i'm quiting my job before knowing if i have another lined up
<6> not wise, but i can't take this project any more
<8> peterhu: Ew. What's wrong?
<12> really?
<12> what's wrong with it peterhu?
<12> did you give notice already?
<12> I mean, how hard can it be?
<6> dropped on a project that is doomed from the start
<12> It's only a couple of weeks
<12> and, knowing that you're looking means you can slack off.
<6> the whole thing needs to be rewritten in my opinion, and it goes live in less than 2 weeks
<12> you're getting paid for doing nothing.
<6> they've been working on this since *november*
<6> it is simply a mess, i don't know any other way to describe it
<12> hey, it's like my experience on the random program generator AMEX at AMD
<12> except
<12> everytime I opened my mouth
<6> the code reads like a james joyce novel
<13> peterhu: Know that if it's an ordeal for you, it's entertaining for us to hear you complain about it. =P
<12> even just to explain how something works
<12> my manager lost his ****ing mind with me
