What did you do today?

[CPTBadAss]

Went to a concert. During a set someone gets on stage and throws pool noodles into the pit. People appropriately go ape ****. A kid picks up a noodle and swings it. Magically it connects exactly with my glasses leaving me to Velma and clear mad space trying to find them. Someone catches them and hands em back to me. All hail Oakley

[mr.squishy]

Wasn't today, but I recently lubed my orange ALPS keyboard and I'm loving every second I touch it. It's so smooth now.

That's your Apple board, right?  Congrats on the sweet, sweet lube.

First rule of the pits, if you see someone or something falling you pick it up before getting back to moshing.

I wasn't even moshing. Just standing near it. I had to, the venue is too small to not stand near the pit.

Ran Cat 5e through the crawlspace of the house (which was hot as hell and filthy as ****) and installed an ethernet jack in my room.  Finally have decent internet speed in my room and should be able to play some online FPS games again.

I fapped all the day thinking of my incoming Leopold FC750R.

And i asked myself if I should buy the Logitech G9X (mouse). I want it but i don't want to spend money...

It's easier to just drill holes in the ceiling or floor of your closet.. then run the cable under the door along the wall to your PC..

Not sure what you're talking about with the stick tool.  I'd have to see it. 

There's a storage room that has the hot water heater and router and is open to the crawlspace.  I crawled up into the crawlspace from inside the house, grabbed the cable from the storage room and shimmied my way through the cramped and filthy crawlspace, attached the cables to a wire that was stuck through the ceiling, and pulled it through into the closet.  Then crimped the male plugs on the router end, drilled a hole in the wall of the closet into the next room, stuck the cable through, connected it to the female side, and mounted a faceplate in the room.  Huge pain in the ass, but worth it as I can now actually use the internet instead of praying I have decent speeds and waiting until 2AM for something more useable.

That's basically what I did, except it made more sense to drop it into the closet in the next room over and put a faceplate in my room that I could connect to.

Push/pull rods, fishing rods, glow-sticks, etc. All pretty much the same thing but incredibly helpful in all kinds of situations involving cabling.

I have one of these kits

Yea same. I didn't even know they had some that were in segments. I've only ever used one like this

That's a pretty cool tool, but I doubt it would have helped with running the cable, unfortunately.  Since it's in a crawlspace full of heater ducting, crossbeams, and so on, there would have to have been a door from the closet into the crawlspace for it to work.

That's the one I know, but that's for pulling wire through conduit, isn't it?

Yea, I've only used it for wire

But that's why I had no idea there were even some nice ones that come in prices.

Since we're on cabling, I tested some cable for a discussion on reddit on using velcro vs cable ties earlier this morning. Got me x2 gold. haha.

It will actually tolerate quite a bit of abuse before it's not very useful.

Started with a 27ft piece of cable

8 tests later and I folded, kinked, knotted, smashed it in two places with cable ties, then crushed it with pliers before it failed

Well it's been 2 hours and 28 minutes since this day began and so far I've eaten a hot pocket and accidentally kicked my cat.  If I don't wake up later, you know why.

Ran a torch for 8+ hours today.  Surprisingly, didn't get one burn to blister.  Was a good day.

It's off topic, I just got off a 12 hour shift, I am double posting.

Yeah, this thing was awesome.

Springs not cupped rubber?  What's the actuation force of the springs?  Bottoming out force?

They are individually wrapped, so I guess you could say they are buckling springs Hopefully less than the combined weight of my and my gf

I started populating my custom keyboard with switches, swapped sliders, springs and lubed them. But I did not have time to finish.
 I had to pack for a trip through central Europe starting tomorrow, lasting two weeks. I'll be stopping over in Lübeck, Berlin, Regensburg, Innsbruck, Florence, Rome, Venice, Vienna and Prague, and then Berlin again on the way back.

Got 15 fence posts in. Yesterday I cleared the area. Its like 32°C here today. I need a shower and nice chair now.  . Oh and a beer...

Got the internet back up and running.  Had to go out and buy an SB6141 modem and a TP-Link Archer C9 to replace what appears to be a fried modem and a router that, apparently, wasn't cutting it anymore (still not sure if it had to be replaced).

It did mean much faster speeds for my laptop at least:

Went canoeing tonight among bioluminescent plankton. Pretty trippy. Almost slain by mosquitoes though.
