[01:52:58] <cmn32480> and God forbid we get a lot of knowledge... the world might explode
[01:53:07] <cmn32480> but we'd blame Bytram
[01:53:23] * cmn32480 goes back to pulling together a BOM of Fiber parts
[02:10:37] <Bytram> sorry, stepped away from the kbd

[02:12:54] * cmn32480 is totally not that flexible
[02:13:25] <Bytram> heh. come to think of it, I no longer am that flexible, either.
[02:13:53] <cmn32480> my belly gets i the way
[02:14:04] * Bytram used to be able to put his palms flat on the floor, reaching between his legs, with his fingertips touching the back of his ankles
[02:14:31] <Bytram> I/me still has a flat tummy, but lost a lot of the flexibility
[02:14:46] <cmn32480> I used to be able to reach the floor
[02:15:00] <Bytram> how did you manage to learn how to levitate?
[02:15:17] <Bytram> ;)
[02:15:24] <cmn32480> practice
[02:15:37] <cmn32480> concentration
[02:15:44] <cmn32480> 10-ton crane
[02:16:19] <Bytram> lol
[02:16:36] <Bytram> the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the floor... and miss
[02:16:51] <cmn32480> correct.
[02:16:51] <Bytram> with apologies to douglas adams
[02:16:58] <cmn32480> just be sure you have your towel with you
[02:17:14] * Bytram would love to spend a week on the moon just to experience the lessenedd gravity
[02:17:15] <cmn32480> you ahve to get distracted right before you hit the ground
[02:17:21] <Bytram> say what?
[02:17:35] <cmn32480> that was the next line in the book I believe
[02:18:13] <cmn32480> throw yourself at the ground and miss, I find it most helpful to get distracted right before I hit the ground
[02:18:16] <Bytram> has been a very long time, but ISTR that both were mentioned in about the same place in the book.. have long since lost my copy. :(
[02:18:17] <cmn32480> or soemthign to that effect.
[02:18:25] <Bytram> nodnod
[02:18:34] <cmn32480> still ahve a paper copy...
[02:18:41] <cmn32480> weighs about 8lbs
[02:19:11] <Bytram> yours must be hardcover -- mine was a paperback... or you are living on Jupiter
[02:20:00] <cmn32480> paperback... has all 6(?) books in it
[02:20:16] <cmn32480> no
[02:20:19] <cmn32480> weigt
[02:20:25] <cmn32480> I is incorrect.
[02:20:34] <cmn32480> my Douglas Adams is hardcover
[02:20:39] <cmn32480> but it is all the books
[02:20:52] <cmn32480> it is the Tolkein that is a paperback
[02:20:53] <Bytram> is easy, just stop the elevator half-way between floors!
[02:21:17] * cmn32480 gets off his ass to take a quick look
[02:21:19] <Bytram> oops, forgot a I scrolled back. nvm last comment

[02:28:53] <cmn32480> books in the hhgttg
[02:29:20] <Bytram> yeah?

[02:31:50] <Bytram> is sad that Douglas Adams died so young.
[02:31:58] <cmn32480> yes
[02:32:03] <cmn32480> 49 yeasrs old
[02:35:09] <Bytram> hmmm, picture caption: "Towel Day 2005 in Innsbruck, Austria, where Adams first had the idea of The Hitchhiker's Guide. In the novels a towel is the most useful thing a space traveller can have. The annual Towel Day (25 May) was first celebrated in 2001, two weeks after Adams's death."
[02:35:36] <cmn32480> interesting
[02:35:45] <Bytram> would be nice if we could do some kind of HHGTTG themed day next may 25?
[02:36:20] <cmn32480> perhaps a good idea
[02:38:21] <cmn32480> i hate huge bills of materials
[02:38:36] * Bytram suggests selecting a smaller font
[02:38:49] <cmn32480> this is a painstaking and pain in the a** process
[02:39:04] * cmn32480 is only mildly amused...
[02:39:11] <cmn32480> that will make reading it that much harder
[02:39:40] * Bytram was just trying to be helpful... will now go back to my corner
[02:40:24] <cmn32480> so far.. the COST on this job is $176,606.86
[02:40:32] <Bytram> WOW
[02:41:00] <cmn32480> list pricing is $277,980.68
[02:41:44] <cmn32480> it is becoming word soup
[02:41:48] <Bytram> over the course of a year, how many kayaks would be saved? 150-250?? guessing a very conservative $500+ each, that's $75-$150k/yr
[02:41:55] <cmn32480> numbers floating around everywhere
[02:42:16] <cmn32480> roughly 1200/year
[02:42:21] <cmn32480> conservatively
[02:42:55] <cmn32480> and that doesnt' count the cutting out of the weekend labor for cycle counts one a month
[02:43:11] <cmn32480> the ROI on this project is huge
[02:43:13] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:43:38] * Bytram notes they have been gradually rolling out RFID where he works, but will still be quite a while before it makes its way to his dept.
[02:43:51] <cmn32480> depends on the shop
[02:44:06] <cmn32480> some major retailers have implemented it
[02:44:07] <Bytram> btw, be sure to add in a few extra devices for spares, DOAs, etc
[02:44:15] <cmn32480> MAcys, JC Penney, Walmart
[02:44:21] <cmn32480> uh huh
[02:44:24] <cmn32480> already did that
[02:45:25] <cmn32480> adding a couple is easy... that is changing the qty column in the spreadsheet
[02:45:42] <cmn32480> it is figuring it out down ot the nuts and bolts that is the hard bit
[02:46:33] <Bytram> ahhh, those are the books I forgot "Life, the Universe and Everything", and "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish"
[02:46:52] <cmn32480> ahhh
[02:47:04] <Bytram> are all the wires run in conduit? and those need to fastened to the wall/ceiling somehow...
[02:48:02] <cmn32480> conduit?
[02:48:09] * cmn32480 runs away screaming
[02:48:12] <Bytram> LOL!
[02:48:25] <cmn32480> no condiut
[02:48:42] <cmn32480> Cat5e and fiber
[02:49:00] <Bytram> ahh, ok.
[02:49:07] <cmn32480> all run in the ceiling joists
[02:49:35] <Bytram> so what do you need the "nuts and bolts" for?
[02:49:50] <cmn32480> attaching the antennas mostly
[02:49:56] <cmn32480> and the IDF cabinets to the poles
[02:50:28] <cmn32480> unistrut
[02:50:35] * Bytram helpfully offers several rolls of duct tape
[02:50:35] <cmn32480> that's what the stuff is called
[02:50:45] <Bytram> nice.
[02:50:48] <cmn32480> while you are in there, please pass the zip ties
