DocScrutinizer05: so did you find a layouter?
<DocScrutinizer05>
so the wholoe trip was almost 20 picoparsecs
<Arch-TK>
I think once you get to picoparsecs it's easier to just use meters.
<DocScrutinizer05>
no, but I finally managed to complete 2014 taxes
<Arch-TK>
is "2014 taxes" a new simulator game?
<DocScrutinizer05>
almost
<DocScrutinizer05>
very shitty gaming engine ;-)
<Arch-TK>
I see
<Arch-TK>
Maybe you should give a 5 year old some crayons and a piece of paper... You never know, young children apparently see the world differently, maybe laying out PCBs for a 5 year old is really simple stuff.
<DocScrutinizer05>
the infamous ELSER engine
<DocScrutinizer05>
ELSTER even
<Arch-TK>
At this rate I will run out of jokes... Beware...
<DocScrutinizer05>
the layout is pretty simple, you just need to find a PCB house that actually can build what you did in layout
<Arch-TK>
Well, I have no idea how to use fancy layout tools.
<Arch-TK>
When I had to make a PCB for a project, it was a pretty simple task in a tool designed to be fool proof.
<DocScrutinizer05>
I have a rudimentary knowledge, well slightly better than that
<Arch-TK>
And then I pick up kicad and I have no idea what on earth I am looking at.
<Arch-TK>
I guess it's similar to going to blender from google sketchup.
<DocScrutinizer05>
I guess I will give layout a shot myself, after querying for the PCB house linits I need to obey
<Arch-TK>
In either case, I have set aside some money for the full device
<Arch-TK>
But at this rate I can probably invest this money in cat videos and get 5000% ROI before Neo900 arrives.

It's unfortunate that one delay causes another delay.
<DocScrutinizer05>
sorry for the delays, they are really unfortunate And I'm annoyed by them myself
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
modem_ has joined #neo900

It's not your fault, well, I guess you could have forseen the paypal nonsense but at the same time paypal shouldn't be cocks.
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway, need to come home first
<Arch-TK>
Is there any chance any of the parts will go EOL any time soon? (I think that's the right term)
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, PP was my fault to a certain non-negligible degree
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, the right term. and no, I'm not aware of any
<Arch-TK>
Cool
<Arch-TK>
Because if that happens, I imagine the project would be almost kaput.
<DocScrutinizer05>
we already switched to a new WLAN module because of that
<DocScrutinizer05>
nah, we can and already did handle a lot of such EOL stuff
<Arch-TK>
Alright.
<DocScrutinizer05>
not unusual
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway, bbl, need to unpack and heat the flat
<Arch-TK>
Well, in the same style as Half Life 1 and Half Life 2, take your time and it will be better.
<Arch-TK>
See you.
