| Yaakov | Ani-_: By the way, I take apart and reassemble parts of my house all the time. |
| Daveman | heh |
| Yaakov | Ani-_: Often improving it. |
| Daveman | lazy perl programmers |
| thorat | rookpawn: oh, I actually used an IP address on my local network |
| Daveman | blah |
| mofino | Yaakov, taking apart your house is less fun |
| Yaakov | mofino: A friend of mine just got a CNC mill. If I need parts I just have to make a 3D drawing and BLAM. |
| thorat | rookpawn: but it hangs on remote IP addresses |
| mofino | Yaakov, oh no way! |
| Yaakov | Well, I like woodworking, eletrical, etc.--just about anything but waste plumbing. |
| mofino | thorat, Net::Ping uses TCP as the default |
| Yaakov | mofino: Yes, a very nice mill. I can use any program that will produce a DXF file. |
| mofino | Yeah, that's sweet |
| Yaakov | So, if I need a part, or have an idea for a better part, it is a drawing away. |
| mofino | And a hunk of steel too |
| Yaakov | Or plastic, or aluminum, or even wood. |
| mofino | Does your friend operate some sort of shop? oh really? wood even? |
| thorat | rookpawn: and I did "my $host = shift" to get the host from the command line |
| mofino | plastic!? |
| thorat | rookpawn: it's quicker to test that way :) |
| rookpawn | ah tkx |
| Yaakov | He has a very extensive home shop. He is retired from one place and working for a decent salary at another, so he has money to spend. mofino: Sure, nylon, lucite, polycarbonate, delrin, etc. |
| mofino | ahhh |

| Yaakov | He has a gunsmith's lathe as well. |
| mofino | perl -MNet::Ping -e 'my $p=Net::Ping->new("icmp"); print "WOW\n" if $p->ping("64.233.187.99");' |
| Yaakov | He is going to get that running CNC, eventually. |
| mofino | Just like the synopsis |
| Yaakov | mofino: I also just got a MacBook Pro, which I like. |
| mofino | bleh, no mac for me |
| buu | Yaakov: That's cool. |
| Yaakov | mofino: Why, goes with the earring! |
| mofino | heh |
| rookpawn | thanks mofino |
