[OT] Best way to rotate a motor precisely

From: James Nylen 
------------------------------------------------------
For a future electronics project, I want to make a seasonal clock like this
one : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scottthrift/the-present .  What
is the best way for a hobbyist like me to make a motor rotate precisely to
a given angle?  I assume I need some kind of rotation sensor?  I'd like to
get within 1-2 degrees accuracy if possible.

Micro-HDMI to Micro-HDMI

From: Chad Smith 
------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for (and have been for some time) a Micro-HDMI to Micro-HDMI
cord.  It does not have to be very long - in fact, I don't want it to be
any longer than 6' at the most, if that is possible.

Does anyone know where I can buy such a cord?  Google, Amazon, and ebay
have been a bust for me.  So has going to electronic big boxes and little
boxes - both websites and physically.

Open Source Project Management for a Small Group

From: Jonathan Calloway 
------------------------------------------------------
All,

I'm looking for a good open source web based project management 
application for a small group.  The requirements are that it must be 
free (no cost), and have a nice dashboard and strong reporting options.  
So far I've looked at Redmine, but we're not developers, so Chili looks 
a little more promissing.  I've also looked at ProjectPier, but it seems 
a little week on reporting.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  My boss is pressuring me to 
do this in Access, and I'm trying to do everything I can to avoid that!

Free Electronics Shred and Recycling Day at Orange Grove?

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

According to:

http://events.chattanooganow.com/event.php?id=13209

Monday the 19th is a free shred and recycle electronics day
at Orange Grove recycling center.

Their own website lists it, but has almost no useful info:

http://www.orangegrovecenter.org

--------------------------

I didn't leave the house today... but I wrote a -lot- of code..
and even played outside some. It was a beautiful afternoon.
If you have leftovers from the "swap meet", looks like
they can be properly disposed of for free. Maybe.

swap meet (was Orange Grove Center would like your spare computers!)

From: Ed King 
------------------------------------------------------
I am starting to gather up a pile of stuff to take to Orange Grove on Nov 19th

but...

some of the things I'm thinking about "letting go of" are kinda cool (eg: sun 
and sgi boxen, maybe some old macs) so I thought I'd offer them to fellow 
chugaluggers before sending them to the boneyard

not looking for money but since I'm a whore (computer whore that is) I would 
love to trade my worthless crap for your worthless crap, and if you don't have 
any worthless crap to trade, then you can have my worthless crap for free ;)

so... I'm tentatively calling for a swap meet to be held Saturday Nov 17th, 
noon, parking lot where Sears used to be in East Ridge (near the Rave theater)








Orange Grove Center would like your spare computers!

From: Michael Scholten 
------------------------------------------------------
(this is not meant to come across as an ad or anything...)

So I mentioned during the first 4th Floor meeting that Orange Grove Center
recycles computers and other electronics. I had hoped to get back sooner to
everyone about this with more details after being asked about location,
pricing and approved items. Sorry to have taken so long on this...

Essentially our ITC (Industrial Training Center) recycles computers, as
well as other jobs and contracts. I talked with them about what they do and
don't accept and it sounds like pretty much anything computer related
they'll take. Also TVs, radios/stereos, etc... All the items are broken
down, separated and then recycled. All the proceeds then go back to Orange
Grove to support the the individuals we serve who are mentally/physically
handicapped.

The only thing they charge for are CRTs as they cost us money to recycle. I
believe the rate is $10 per CRT. Everything else is free to drop off. They
prefer drop offs be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm. The address
is 615 Derby Street, Chattanooga, TN 37404. The ITC building is on the
corner of Citico ave and Arlington ave with a garage door on Arlington for
drop offs.

-----

Now, for the other reason I wanted to post this. We have 350~ computers we
manage, both at the center and in all of our residential homes, with a very
small budget. The majority of the PCs we use are pulled from what is
dropped off in ITC. Thankfully they don't have to be very robust computers.
We install Linux Mint on all of the desktops. Some days we get a few good
computers that we can get running and replace our older PCs.

Not to sound like a beggar, but if you or your company has computers, or
other electronics, that you are needing recycled then I ask that you
consider Orange Grove. Also, if you have computers that may be older (or
newer!) that still have life left in them and would like to get them out of
the way, I would love to talk with you! The upside of having the recycling
program is that, if the computer is good but has a bad part (pretty much
anything but mother boards) or just needs more memory, we probably have a
part available!


I now return you back to your regularly scheduled CHUGALUG programming...

Wi-Fi passwords

From: John Aldrich 
------------------------------------------------------
An acquaintance of mine from Facebook asked me a question today - she wanted 
to know how to crack a Wi-Fi password so she could use a neighbor's Wi-Fi 
without their knowledge and/or permission. I strongly discouraged her, but 
what do you guys think? 
Would you do it if you couldn't afford to pay for internet? Would you help 
someone do it? If so, how would you suggest going about it?

Programmers needed

From: Tim Youngblood 
------------------------------------------------------
From the Lampost Group grapevine, on behalf of a friend:

This applies both to Campus Bellhops and the positions that Akimbo is

Not required but strongly preferred:
Python/Django Experience

Nice-to-Haves:

Let me know and I'll put you in touch.

If you don't have direct, deep experience with the above (albeit brief)
items, don't waste my/your/their time.

If you are a recruiter, please go away, and never come back.

I was at the kickoff meeting where they announced it, with 
marketing and press materials already printed up with the
domain names above.

There was this moment when I asked them why they were using those domain 
names... as they did not own them. They said "But they are available..."
I think my answer was "They were available" as I packed up my stuff
and left the room.

I still own those and some similar ones..  and if I ever get some time to 
play with it, I'd like to setup a wireless mesh private network all over 
downtown, a "darknet" anyone could join.






Digital Signatures

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

Just in case someone wanted to see this.
You can sit and watch on the sidelines for free.

I'm hoping to make it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Chattanooga Engineers Club:

NEXT MEETING: October 1st: Pem Guerry, Executive Vice President of SIGNiX 
Solutions – “Digital Signatures”

Have you overnighted an important document to a client, only to wait days 
or even weeks for the document to be signed, because it was stuck on 
someone’s desk while they were away on a business trip?  While many 
organizations have switched to electronic documents to improve convenience 
and efficiency, they still rely on wet ink signatures.  Sticking with ink 
means dealing with postage, additional personnel costs, strained customer 
relationships, document archiving, and slower revenue intake.  Mr. Guerry 
will discuss topics including: signing documents online safely and 
securely, the risks involved in moving towards paperless operations, and 
the cost savings and benefits and return on investment of such a project.


MEETING LOGISTICS:

The Chattanooga Engineer's Club meets noon Mondays at the DOUBLETREE 
HOTEL, 407 Chestnut Street, from 12 noon to 1 pm EST and free parking is 
available at 11:30. Buffet lunch is $16.  If you do not plan to purchase 
lunch, please use chairs around the perimeter of the room.

Just think...

From: John Aldrich 
------------------------------------------------------
Saw a graphic on Facebook this morning, showing that a single SD card could 
store more than a whole bunch of floppies. Then someone linked to a picture of 
a bunch of old hard drive types. 

That got me to thinking... just imagine how much we could store on those old 
8" platters if we had modern electronics to go on those hard drives! We could 
probably get a couple terabytes on platters the size we used to have in our 
old 5.25X4" hard drives. :D

Craigslist. Angieslist. chattanooga.handymanconnection.com...

Mikes rule #673b:  Anyone that calls themselves "unemployed" is a clueless
leach upon society that requires someone else to provide for them and only
works when supervised and/or with a 3 ring binder telling them what to do.

If that person in that exact same situation thinks of themselves as
"self-employed" or "freelance..." or "I own my own business", the mindset
change is an incredible empowering thing.

When I haven't been making money as an arrogant geek bastard in the last
10 years (keeping it short), I have made money doing: Welding, electronics
assembly, home repair (plumbing and electric), home improvement including
laying tile and hardwood floors, brake jobs on cars, instructor at 2 local
colleges, artist, D.J., wedding officiant (ULC Minister)...

I declared "unemployment" and filed for it once in 1990 for a short period,
and realized the mental trap for what it was. Been "in business"
ever since, including when I have been broke and hungry.

What does it take to be "in business" as opposed to "unemployed":

.all of which run much faster on SSDs. e.g., photoshop or GIMP loading time
would be cut down to at least 1/3 of the time it takes on conventional HDD.
I've managed to get small SSDs for OS and apps on all my machines and keep
my large/cheap HDDs for "work" data. Another good buying point of SSDs is
the life expectancy. If the "work" data is critical long term storage,
there's much less likely a chance of failure on SSDs than with a spinning
disk. It boils down to you get what you pay for. they're def worth paying
$0.50/gb. 

 

As a good example, I have a client in the auto body industry. You wouldn't
think they'd have a need for SSD, but his main computer work is on an
application that runs on top of a large local database of part numbers,
pictures of damage, diagrams, etc. After a 10+ years of migrating the data
from one workstation to another, just creating a new work ticket eventually
became really slow on his fairly new/powerful workstation with a single
large SATA2 HDD. After he already tried maxing out the RAM it was still
slow. so he calls me and asks WTF. I suggested a SSD to run his application
and OS on and keep the SATA2 for damage pictures and misc data. He couldn't
be happier with the speed. In fact, I got a few referral calls after that
one from other shops in the area with the exact same situation. One shop in
particular was running that same application on a central server with a good
sized 3 HDD RAID5. Even the multiple spindles couldn't compare to the speed
of a single SSD dedicated to the application. Eric is certainly right on
this one. the additional productivity alone is worth the investment.

Yes because work is the only thing to use a computer for, smartass.

 

Besides the fact that I do enjoy electronic entertainment in many forms
(games, movies, music, books) - I actually /do/ have hundreds of gigs of
work data.  I'm a designer, so my work doesn't amount to basically text -
which is what coding is, text.  So my work takes up a lot more room.  I
produce videos - edit audio - images - huge, multi-layer photoshop files and
desktop publishing files - some numbering for multiple hundreds of pages...
You do the math, tiff files at 1200 dpi, HD 1080p raw videos, I have mp3
files that are bigger than 100 MB each - that's compressed / lossy stuff at
100 MB.

 

So just because your work can be stored in .txt files doesn't mean
everyone's can.
