changed username to George rich-c: good evening george George: Hi Rich rich-c: just beginning to wonder where everyone was rich-c: especially since no one showed up at all Saturday George: my main computer died and this one had a harddisk failure rich-c: what did your main computer die of? George: i don't know i turned the power on and the power lite lit briefly and went out rich-c: any other symptoms? blue smoke? banging noises? George: and there was no activity
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Dr.D. rich-c: hi Rich Dr.D.: Hello. rich-c: George is just describing his computer failures for me George: i had to use the western digital tools to repair the harddisk on this computer rich-c: I gather then that the harddisc had a software failure of some kind Dr.D.: I'm just stopping by briefly on my way to bed...another long day. rich-c: up too early or to bed too late? George: i lost capacity Dr.D.: A bit of both... George: Hi Dr D rich-c: a lot of sectors gone bad, George? Dr.D.: Hi George. Dr.D.: 5 AM up this morning, 1 AM to bed last night. George: it appears so rich-c: that does not allow an adequate amount of sleep, Rich Dr.D.: I know it... rich-c: any apparent reason for the disc failure, George? Dr.D.: It will be crazy again this week as I get ready for another lab seminar I have to give next Wednesday. George: there was some physical damage to the drive reported by the program rich-c: yes, the teaching is a breeze, takes no time at all - but the preparation.... rich-c: head crash perhaps, George? Dr.D.: Still have a slug experiment to pull off successfully either tomorrow or Friday, to generate some data I need in order to complete the presentation. Lots of technical problems this week. Dr.D.: I wonder where the rest of the Usual Gang of Idiots is tonight? rich-c: and while they are simple they take hours of donkey work to solve, right? George: i'm not sure i'll have to wait and see if anymore damage occurs Dr.D.: (You know the MAD Magazine ref in that, I hope.) Dr.D.: Yes about long hours troubleshooting. rich-c: oh, I was one of the 'early adopters' when it came to Mad magazine Dr.D.: Trying to get 3 video cameras perfectly aligned at mutual right angles. rich-c: I think I gave them up around their 25th anniversary issue Dr.D.: Plus finding storage space for 30 GB of video data for each 1-hour experiment. Dr.D.: It has been observed that MAD is funniest for whatever it was when a given person started reading it, and it's no good after that :-) rich-c: well, 30-gig hard discs are cheap and easy to come by these days George: i never read MAD George: or many comics rich-c: well I would tell you, George, that after the first 25 years they started to wear out their themes - too much been there, done that
moved to room Meeting Place Dr.D.: Daniel or Fred? rich-c: but then you two were too young to remember Pogo, or Li'l Abner Dr.D.: Place your bets! rich-c: I'll bet Daniel
changed username to yt8ty yt8ty: greetings all. George: they got too old to fast Dr.D.: Nope, just remember the tail end of Pogo in our papers, and Li'l Abner survived in the Youngstown Vindicator until the mid-70s. rich-c: now who is yt8ty? yt8ty: JeFFREy is helping typ2e5 Dr.D.: I think our paper carried both strips until the artists died. George: huh? rich-c: ah, OK Jill, welcome Dr.D.: I thought it was one of those L33t d00dz rich-c: glad to see you're getting him started early rich-c: Georege, Pogo was a strip of highly pointed political commentary; Li'l Abner could be quite satirical yt8ty: It's more that he can't stand to see either of us concentrating on something without helping.... yt8ty: He's kind of like a cat that way.
yt8ty changed username to Jillian George: Hi Jillian rich-c: yes, put on your music program and he'll offer "Kitten on the keys" Dr.D.: Walt Kelly and Al Capp, respectively, right? rich-c: you have it, Dr. D., as usual Jillian: How goes it for everyone? Anything exciting happening? Dr.D.: I always liked Capp's Dick Tracy parody, Fearless Fosdick :-) rich-c: I still have a couple of the vintage Pogo books rich-c: depends on your definition of exciting, Jill Dr.D.: Me has completed v0.99 of the ADAM schematics webpage. Now all the restoration work (hard) begins... rich-c: George has had one computer die and teh hardd disc crash on another George: i had a disaster Dr.D.: Gotta look at the BMP2PP program to make some Christmas cards for Ron, after all these years of me meaning to do it and never doing so. George: what a bad time for this Dr.D.: Cooking corned beef and cabbage right now for a potluck dinner tomorrow at the elementary school. rich-c: I still cant get or keep the Adam emulator running on my machine Jillian: My computer died a while back and we just got a new power supply this week. I'm looking forward to having my bill payment system back. George: thats what i need to do Dr.D.: Christina is finishing week 2 of driver's ed and will be behind the wheel of our Voyager for the first time this weekend. rich-c: hope when your power supply died it didnt take anything else with it rich-c: that is a very difficult time in a parent's life, Rich Dr.D.: The Film Society is showing Powerpuff Girls on Friday, to which we're all going...Saturday afternoon will be Harry Potter 2. Jillian: bcs1e1q me too rich. rich-c: where are you taking her to practice? Dr.D.: For starters the biiiiig parking lot at the mostly-abandoned mall just up the street from us. rich-c: good thought - I used to favour indutrial areas on Sunday for Frances and Pamela Dr.D.: After that, probably simple residential streets with 25 MPH speed limit in not much traffic. Jillian: I hope to head for a driving test on Friday this week. My favorite time to practice driving is after about 9pm and later. Dr.D.: I thought Frances didn't drive? Dr.D.: You don't drive, Jill? rich-c: she doesnt have a licence so doesnt get behind the wheel but could do teh basics in an emergency George: my doctor won't let me drive Dr.D.: Strain on your back or something, George? Jillian: I had a learner's permit when I was a teen and was wayyyyy too nervous to be safe, so I let it go for 15 years or so rich-c: reminds me, George, last week there was a report of a new therapy being developed for Crohn's disease George: too many meds Jillian: I got another learner's about 2 years ago. Dr.D.: Ahh, yes, too many meds and driving can be a bad combo. rich-c: depending on which they are. sometimes any meds can be a bad combo Jillian: Friday I hope to go for my level one test, then I'll be able to drive alone on streets w0ith2 rich-c: I have bewen having great fun on the roads this week Dr.D.: No snow yet I hope! Just some rain here. rich-c: the truck is in for teh new engine so I am driving the car Jillian: on streets wioth liimits of 80 opr less. George: they come up with new therapies every couple of years i don't get my hopes up

Medusa: i'm not hiding it's just me
moved to room Meeting Place rich-c: anyway Jill just remember the basic rule of driving
changed username to BobS Medusa: Hi George Medusa: Hi Dr. D BobS: HEY rich-c: use caution, care and courtesty, and when all else fails, hit something cheap BobS: whatcha all doin????? Dr.D.: Und jetzt der geehrte Herr Slopsema! George: Hi Bob Medusa: Dr.D did u get me email BobS: Yavool, ich bin here !!!!! rich-c: well, the Robert has put in his belated appearance Dr.D.: Yes I did...glad you found the post interesting. Jillian: compared to alot of the crazy people on the roads today, i'm a pretty good driver. BobS: vas busy goofin offski BobS: how's it goin Jill???????? Jillian: ok. getting stressed about going back to work though Dr.D.: Machen mit der aufgegoofen, ist viel Spass, natŸrlich. George: watch out when i try to drive rich-c: I go by results - after half a century with no at-fault accidents and no moving violations, I figure I'm passably competent Dr.D.: Rats, it ate my u-umlaut there... BobS: Hi George, Richard, Jill, Erin, Dr d Medusa: Hi Bob George: what happened? BobS: too much Deutch fer me there Rich rich-c: I keep telling you, Rich, get Daniel to ship you a French keyboard Dr.D.: It's made up deutch, "goofing off" I turned into aufgegoofen. rich-c: it has umlauts and tildes and working circumflexes and all sorts of neat stuff BobS: ahso!!!! Dr.D.: And natu"rlich is naturally. BobS: you nasty junga Dr.D.: Ja ich bin ein nasty Kerl. George: ENGLISH! ENGLISH! ENGLISH! Dr.D.: "Yes I am a nasty brat" BobS: ya dat too, eh?????? rich-c: most of it is English, George, just fiddled with a bit BobS: sprechen si duetch, Geo?????? George: what? Dr.D.: Ernie Kovacs used to do some hilarious fake German stuff. BobS: nicht wahr, eh???? George: huh? BobS: so, what did I miss by being late???? Dr.D.: We found a solution for peace in the Middle East, but the server crashed and nobody can remember what we typed. Medusa: LOLOLOLOLOLOL Jillian: I wish, Dr. D. Dr.D.: I think it had something to do with dancing redheads without veils... George: server crashed? BobS: a solution......IGNORE the suckers and maybe they will kill each other!!!!! Medusa: of course it did....how else would we distract them rich-c: it was trying to solve the problem of absolute precision alignment in three dimensions Dr.D.: And Mme. Medusa was just about to volunteer to lead the brigade... Medusa: anything for World peace Dr.D.: Now this is sounding like a lost verse of "American Pie"... Medusa: LOL BobS: well......what do you expect from a leader who when retreating, lights fires so the incoming troups can roast their marshmellows rich-c: now you've lost me - if it postdates Glenn Miller, I haven't heard it George: ???????????????????????????????????????? Medusa: it's ok George George: what about Elvis? Dr.D.: A famous song about the history of rock'n'roll up to 1972...but couched in very obscure metaphors, almost like a Sybil's prophesies. BobS: Elvis Grebak?????? BobS: hims Dr.D.: hahaha George: I seen him the other day rich-c: anyway looks like Dubya has a big problem coming - looks like Saddam is going to cave
Jillian changed username to Jillian-brb Jillian-brb: brb Dr.D.: Hey, Jeffrey's first words! BobS: a quarterback.......actually, not a 1/4 backside.....but a guy who throws a little wienie shaped ball at someone running like heck away from another guy Dr.D.: So Bob, have you looked at any of the schematics I've posted? George: i'd rather have a Big Mac BobS: saw that in the paper tonight Richard........talk is that they will let the inspectors in BobS: not too close, besides, I can't read elevtrical diagrams anyway BobS: but wht I glanced at looked official George: NO WAR WITH IRAQ rich-c: well he sent his kid to Parliament to speak in favour of the UN resolution BobS: wished I could make heads or tails out of the diagrams'maybe I could fiddle with some of the stuff I go here......TIME is the biggest problem Dr.D.: I was asking just in case you happened to have better copies than the ones I was working with...or some additional new schematics. rich-c: yes, maybe next Adamcon we can get someone to give us a seminar on Schematics 101 Dr.D.: Dale already did at XIII, remember? George: it's hopeless Medusa: there is always hope George rich-c: I have a book on it too but neither is much enduring help BobS: will have to investigate them then, eh???? Dr.D.: I'm tryin' to get HLM-GMK to go through their pile of Orphanware stuff...I can't believe BJ didn't leave them with some goodies. BobS: have some rather detailed pages of specs....bout 15x30 inches......but you can tell that some are bad genereation copies rich-c: anyway, Dale was just dealing with logic circuits and Boolean algebra - not much help with loose wires :-) Dr.D.: I'm also looking to postpone having to do the final cleanup on them...it took me 2 months to do the disk drive controller, and that one wasn't so bad...the game board is horrible, I'll have to take an ADAM apart to check the connections. rich-c: they're still useful, Bob, they may be clear in an area where an otherwise better copy is blurred rich-c: take a Colecovision apart instead, they'rte more easily expendable Dr.D.: Yes. I had decided early on that Richard's copies were so much better than the ones in The Hacker's Guide to ADAM Volume II that I wasn't going to bother scanning the latter ones...*but* one of Richard's was missing about a quarter inch of the whole right margin, and I picked it up from the Hacker's Guide copy. Dr.D.: Similarly for 2 of the tape drive schematics, I had "duplicate" photocopies that were centered differently, such that each was missing something, but putting them all together, you got the whole drawing back. rich-c: I could likely find a dead Adam or two to expend if you just wanted to rip wires out to see whre they go Dr.D.: What I'd like to do is see if I can figure out what the magical U7 chip really does...when you sit looking at the schematics and cleaning them up, you start to pay attention to them...and I *think* I might be able to make some good guesses. Good enough to maybe build some test circuits to try out. BobS: U7 or U6 ?????
Jillian-brb changed username to Jillian rich-c: the U& is the one unique custom chip for which there is no substitute, right? Jillian: I'm back. Dr.D.: I have this fun idea of someday redoing the ADAM as an all-in-one modern circuit board, small enough to fit in a laptop. George: i'm lost Dr.D.: U6 is the ADAMnet master, U7 is the memory I/O controller unique one. Jillian: It would be neat to figure out what it does. Dr.D.: I know what's in U6, and can build workarounds for it (just any 68xx CPU and an external EPROM, I have the firmware listing--it's in the stuff I sent to Dale, Jill). rich-c: yes, any generic chip the specifications will be publicly available BobS: I had thoughts at different times of making a suitcase model to bring to the cons, but now w/ laptops......... Dr.D.: But U7 is like a PAL--maybe simple logic inside, but it's a black box that you can't read. George: my eyes are going wonky rich-c: are the 6801s in the Adamnet stock design or cusatom, does anyone know? Dr.D.: Oh jeez, who's the guy who had the suitcase ADAM? Dr.D.: The 6801s are all custom, because the 6801 is manufactured with a specific software program in it. rich-c: I think the portable Adam was Gene Welch from the west coast Dr.D.: However, you can make the equivalent of a 6801 with a 6803/05/11 plus an external EPROM that contains the same program that was manufactured into the 6801. Dr.D.: YEs, Gene Welch. George: just put a TV card in your IBM rich-c: yes, if you know the program that was put in the 6801 in the first place Dr.D.: In the 160K floppy drive, there is a separate CPU and EPROM.
moved to room Meeting Place Dr.D.: The CPUs are actually 6801s with internal ROMs that were defective in some way, but are jumpered to ignore the internal ROM and use an external EPROM.
changed username to da-Duron-ron Dr.D.: Coleco was recycling parts :-) Jillian: 90 n98888888888888 uu da-Duron-ron: yo! rich-c: speaking of the west coast - hi Ron Jillian: m i k mlllllm i jeffy's back.

George: stop watching all those stupid presidents Pamela: the Chamber of Secrets will soon be open Dr.D.: Play with my schematics! (paper your walls with them) Jillian: The only times my Jeffy is out of diapers are bath time and when his parents forget to go shopping. Dr.D.: YEs COS we will see Sat. Dr.D.: Good night! Guy B.: Rich, how much memory is in your Athlon now? Dr.D.: <poof>
Dr.D. left chat session BobS: good one Jill !!!!!!!! Pamela: What time on Sunday Erin? rich-c: I got 256 MB, likely don't need even half that, but at the price, why not? da-Duron-ron: right Jillian. Soon you'll be watching him at Convocation, trust me da-Duron-ron: it goes by that fast BobS: we'll be there about 3pm Pam........ Judy: that could be a real problem, you could always use dish towels, did that once Medusa: i'm not sure yet.....it will be in the afternoon I may have to ask u a favour Pamela: I heard about the flight but it sorta depends on the timing Guy B.: Well, mine's going up to 384mb this weekend.

Haven' George: i'm down Pamela: t you booked the flight yet? rich-c: how far are you upgrading, Guy? or did you mean the memory, not the CPU?

Medusa: likely will have a layover in TO
(Jillian hands BobS a tissue.) da-Duron-ron: No colds east of the Rockies, please Judy: he is banging on the keyboard but nothing is happening Guy B.: I sure once the memory is installed, Win98 will load faster and hopefully be more stable especially on the Net. da-Duron-ron: Bob? Jillian: I get a new power supply this weekend and hopefully, my computer (and spreadsheets) will be restored. Guy B.: My friend from work is suggesting I get Win2000. He says he doesn't trust WinXP either. Pamela: Erin, are you going to have access to email while you're there? rich-c: memory can be an issue, of course, but with Windows stability seems to depend on a lot of other things
(An Adam tape drive whirs noisily.) Guy B.: Who's running Buck Rogers? Medusa: I should I will be in the hill office on Monday & Tues da-Duron-ron: @James - thanks fer the info leads you sent last week Pamela: Halloween's over people Pamela: so you can let me know what your plans are then, or you can always call me da-Duron-ron: between you and Mr. Clee, there should now be all sorts of places to look for my Amiga friend da-Duron-ron: and thanks to you Rich rich-c: every time I add a new program it seems to take Windows a week to settle in with it Medusa: while in TO I will have mom's cell Jillian: What does Halloween have to do with anything Pam?

Pamela: Ron, do they still take off over the ocean at Vancouver airport? rich-c: dont panic when the engine appears to turn off about 100 miles short of Ottawa Medusa: never Medusa: me panic.....nooooo rich-c: planes can glide so far now if they didnt back off to idle then, they'd overshoot da-Duron-ron: depends Pamela. that is the major runway,yes 09/27 BOBS: until; the darn steward or stewardess wakes ya up for soda or coffee and a cookie !!!!!!!!! George: shall i put my gas mask on? da-Duron-ron: mostly the seem to approach from the west after having come from the east da-Duron-ron: circle out over the water, then come in on runway -09 Judy: just enjoy it, it is fun da-Duron-ron: right Bob da-Duron-ron: that's how it goes Pamela: when I flew into Vancouver to meet Mom and Dad for Expo 86, we landed on and took off from that runway - actually circled out over the water and then turned around to land. it was cool Medusa: ok....it'll be a new experience for me da-Duron-ron: If I want a DietCoke, she offers me a coffee da-Duron-ron: etc BOBS: ladies and gents, we have now reached our cruising altitude, you have 40 seconds to drink your pop and coffee before we descend......... da-Duron-ron: you know you're on the west coast Pamela: at first though, it was like "hey, you overshot the airport" Medusa: hehe BOBS: so now stow all gear, throw away your cups and put your seatback in an upright position............

Don't think so Rich.. I don't have a copy of the Canada Air Pilot Around here Pamela: Nite Meeks! da-Duron-ron: but... Meeka: night everyone
Meeka left chat session da-Duron-ron: nw/se would be aligned with the prevailing wind which is southeast rich-c: oh, when we went out in 1972 we seemed to come in over the Delta on a heading of about 320 BOBS: 1872 ????????? da-Duron-ron: heading towards the mountains on the North Shore eh? rich-c: we had a three-holer running full flaps - what a racket BOBS: they didn't have planes then !!!!!! George: 1792 Judy: planes are better now rich-c: no, more parallel to teh mountains header towards the strait Pamela: put yer glasses on, Slopsema - that says 1972 BOBS: THIRTY years ago ?????? those planes are almost in the junkyards now Pamela: I wish I could go with you Erin rich-c: anyway the 727 had a high sink rate, which was why CP Air favoured it - needed a fast letdown after clearing the Rockies Medusa: thanks George: i'll stay on the ground Pamela: Have you ever flown, George? BOBS: flown the coup maybe rich-c: oh yes Erin - when you hear a sudden racket like the airplane's about to fall apart, it isn't George: yes i was terrified Medusa: oh great...good to know Pamela: DAD!!!!!

(Someone throws a brick at rich-c) Medusa: i'll be sure to write letters to all my loved ones b4 I get on the plane BOBS: the heck with landing....how about taking off !!!!! rich-c: Erin, you're safer on teh plane than you are at home George: when the plane turned i went down BOBS: you can leave all your worldly stuff to Pam, she don't need it rich-c: and don't even think of jaywalking in Toronto - now THAT'S a risk Pamela: I don't have any room for it Bob - have you seen her bedroom??? Medusa: this is wonderful Pamela: Meaning, you dipped down on one side George? BOBS: nope, but can jsut imagine,........ERIN ya can't crash and burn...Pam DOES NOT want your stuff !!!!! :-) Medusa: we are now partitioning my stuff George: i thought the plane was going to crash rich-c: Erin, learn all you can about what planes do to fly, then apply it to what you see and hear on your flights rich-c: it makes them go much faster bedcause they are so much moe interesting Pamela: for some, ignorance of the physics of flying is bliss Medusa: i am wondering if ignorance is bliss this time around BOBS: ....um.......plane go FAST...plane in AIR.....plane fly like bird.....plane land on GR"OUND Medusa: thanks Bob I hope I can remember that Pamela: that about covers it George: planes crash Medusa: thanks George Pamela: so do cars, George - and a lot more frequently BOBS: naw...........only teeny tiny ones rich-c: that's OK - my first flight was on what I think was a Curtis JN-4 (Jenny) da-Duron-ron: rich...just looking at a map of YVR da-Duron-ron: I see runway 08/28 North and runway 08/28 south Pamela: and yet no one hesitates to get into them da-Duron-ron: (sorry 08/28 left and 08/28 right rich-c: OK, we likely came in then on 28 North BOBS: Ron, Erin dos NOT need to know the runway #'s da-Duron-ron: and runway 12/30 BOBS: she just want sot land safely da-Duron-ron: so that would be aligned to 300 deg magnetic da-Duron-ron: close Judy: don't worry, be happy, have fun, ERin Medusa: thanks Judy George: how to get out of the airport BOBS: be happy as they say in Jamaica mon rich-c: well I knew it wasn't straight north so the 32 was a plausible guess Medusa: hehehehe da-Duron-ron: yup da-Duron-ron: I'm supposed to know these things. I used to work there rich-c: anyway, runway numbers are just the direction they run in compass headings Pamela: One worry you won't have is a height thing Rin da-Duron-ron: yes BOBS: we usually leave runway selection to the pilot of the plane..............hmmmmmm Medusa: i hope not Pamela: Well, if you can deal with the CN tower, you can deal with heights Medusa: the glass floor in the CN Tower is alittle different da-Duron-ron: which is why one end is 180 deg away from the other end Judy: not something you have much to say about Pamela: and as Russell says, after a while you're so high it doesn't seem real anymore BOBS: flying ist WUNDERSHUEN !!!!!!!!!! Medusa: true......"life is but a dream" Judy: you can't believe you are going so fast rich-c: it's just that it gets spooky when you're in a cloud Pamela: I conquered the glass floor the last time I went up, with James Medusa: way to go Pam Pamela: Bob, I agree Medusa: i think a cloud might be pretty cool Pamela: mind over eyeballs BOBS: un uh.........in clouds is like dark only it is light Medusa: so long as the pilot knows where he/she is going rich-c: remember fog is just a ground-level cloud da-Duron-ron: like overflying the Rockies on a sunny day Pamela: now that's asking a lot BOBS: that's why they got instruments my dear rich-c: and this is a very thick fog Judy: they are they look like cottonballs up there Medusa: good stuff Pamela: Simpsons clouds!

BOBS: view rich-c: the pilot is just there as a backstop in case something unplanned happens da-Duron-ron: super eh? Medusa: like a hijacking? Medusa: i'm ok Medusa: really Pamela: doesn't it go without saying that a hijacking is unplanned? Pamela: at least for the people on the aircraft Medusa: depends on your point of view.....welcome to today's world George: or a shoe bomber Judy: not happening very often, either Medusa: see Medusa: oh well Medusa: if you gotta go............ rich-c: just know what's going on so you arrive OK da-Duron-ron: but mostly, I sleep Pamela: c'mon, why would anyone want to commandeer a plane going to Ottawa? Medusa: Pam that doesn't help Medusa: LOL Pamela: sometimes it pays to be a boring Canadian Pamela: : ) BOBS: a runawasy frenchman ????????? da-Duron-ron: you mean the quiet provincial backwater with it's head in the sand, it's feet in cement and it's rear in an ivory tower da-Duron-ron: ??
