    Smartphones

    Thanks for the link. It wouldn't need to be a real up to date smart phone. Basically all it would need is ability to talk and one or two apps that are just a deal that list all the steel sizes and such. It's wouldn't be a phone they would use at any other time than inside the gate. A tablet...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Saw an interview with Chet once and he said he played like that starting out because he didn't know any better, and now lived in a house with a guitar shaped pool lol. On a serious note considering picking up a hollow body or a semi hollow just to play around with. Nothing major and nothing...

    The guard at the gate isn't going to go thru all that trouble to make sure it's not a working camera. Sorry. I have permission to carry a camera on site at all times but I have no use for the phone. The other guys need the phone but would be a long ass background check and be a "prove to need...

    Smartphones

    Know of a smartphone without a camera? Sometimes I send guys into the field and it would be nice if they could use a smartphone to do some stuff, but they can't carry a camera without a lot of paperwork for security reasons. I've done all the stuff enough times I can do most of it in my head or...

    Got 3 horizon orbs out of the temple. Turned my 3 extra Hyrdra maps into one Minotaur map, one Chimera map, one Phoeniz map, and had on Hydra left over. Out of horizon orbs now. Nice it worked out.

    Mental math today. I shouldn't have. At one point I needed to sell 5 exalts for C. If I had sold all 5 for the 183C which I sold one for I would have gotten 915c. If I sold them today for 75C I would 375C. Kind of puts it into perspective when you aren't using exalts to craft with.

    Thanks, didn't think of the divines. As I said the first non tabula 6l I got this league. Divine is right at what trade macro said it's worth, what I imagine is the floor for 6l to sell at. League been 1,000 times better for me than bestiary. Of course I didn't do much in the league, the entire...

    Ran Atziri's vault today for no reason other than it dropped. Dumbest thing in the world. I had a sextant I forgot about "items will/can drop as corrupted". Three 6 links - all corrupted lol. Only 6 links I got all league that weren't a tabula. All in the span of 2 minutes.

    Desktop Computers

    Yeah, have a list of all the stuff to turn off. I installed windows 10 when it came out. Didn't care for it so just went back Windows 7. I'll still use windows 7 on my non work computer because I have no reaon to upgrade as of yet.

    Desktop Computers

    Thanks, already have a key (or ask for another one from the company that gives them to me). I didn't really want to migrate because the drive has been there forever without a fresh install and no telling what's in the registery and such.

    Go ahead and laugh, not a computer oriented person. On my 2nd computer (IE work computer) I want to finally upgraded to windows 10 and scrap the really small SSD I have for a boot and put in a new one. Best way to do this with a fresh install would be to download windows 10 and do a flash card...

    Lesson of the day. Don't trust cheap feeler gauges. Got my strings and was doing a set up since I have played this guitar in a while. Felt pertty close but I thought I would check it. At first fret it is supposed to 0.020 give or take 0.002. Well the 0.020 gauge would fit but not the 0.018 lol...

    Extremely tired. Been up almost 20 hours. Anyway should really read the mods I roll. Hyrda, no life/mana regen and hexproof which killed my mana leech from warlords mark.

    I downloaded Visual Studio and muddled thru it for a few and made a very very very program that would do the math that I think he was getting off on.

    Did Vaal Temple this morning, kind of anti climatic. Was expecting real bad. Had a good corrupt I guess. Just damage, critical strike chance and multiplier, less armor and block and such. I guess it's time to research another build and start one.

    Up to 8ex now. I guess I should invest in a 6l chest. There was a 6l inpulsa last week that was 300c and I dicked around it sold before I made my mind up. Should have grabbed it.

    Today must be my incrediably lucky day. Got Exalt drop on shaper map after the div card drop on the guardian. Now prepare for looong stretch of nothing heh.

    Lot of trigonometric calcs but it's all just pretty simple Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent of a few user supplied variables - stuff that I and 99% of the others who do this all use calculators for just this when in the field/shop - not having to do any of it when drawing in cad.

    Kind of my first thought as well. I gave him a detailed list of what needed to be done and the UI part should have been icnrediably basic, no graphics just "input X, Y, Z, output A, B, C," even without any descriptors of what was need or output. The operator would know. I have a very very old...
