  I am an idiot
 
There's a reason why I'm dangerous with Solaris, and that's because I'm too used to Windows NT. Today I was doing a df -k on Peachy and noticed my data disk was at 99-100% capacity. Knowing that filesystems don't perform well over 40% capacity, this (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  10020 (A *train* topic!!! Read at own risk!!!)
 
Well, I received the 10020 yesterday night. Let me tell you that I am most impressed! Sure, lately there has been some concern about our favourite company, TLC, but if they keep putting things like this out, I'll be happy! Now it's sitting on my (...)

  Little minifigure champion
 
On the rtlToronto10 "Scoreboard", there was a little minifigure pumping his arm in triumph next to Rob Stehlik's name. Who drew this? Was it Greg Hyland? It's really cute. Calum (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  rtl10.1 Non Event. Informal Test Run for Soccer
 
Hi folks, I've already mailed this out to a few people, but next Friday night, we're going to do an informal test for Live Soccer: (URL) public is not invited, and this IS NOT AN EVENT--it's really only for rtlToronto regulars. It's literally just a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: 110 VAC powered lego motors
 
Wall current is not the same everywhere. It is not even always the same over time. I measured my wall voltage once, and it was 117. Now it's 120. Most wall wart adapters drop the voltage by a specific amount, so if the designers of a 9v adapter were (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: cool shot..
 
(...) there were still 3 r more robots behind you. if a shot from one of the table or the other exists that would be cooler. if not, this is a good shot. :) As a side note, I can't help but notice, this photo is missing a robot... hum, someone's (...)

  110 VAC powered lego motors
 
in some other thread, Mathias said: (...) I don't follow this. if 110 VAC (or some amount) goes in, it drops down to 9 (ish) i know for a fact that the RCX does not have a transformer, so the regulation has to be solid state..... ergo, somewhere in (...)

  Re: Guess what.
 
(...) omgoodness!! I love this idea! It'll have to be done with multiple RCX's fer sure! We use the 4 stud cubes that we used for block stacking/sorting, et al... White and Black, and see what happens! Oh so many ideas!!! Dave (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Guess what.
 
(...) I'd love to do a contest like this again. Maybe modify it at little to change things up, but keep the basic concept the same. I was thinking for a tougher contest, beyond this one, we could turn the board up on its side, and stack the blocks. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Guess what.
 
(...) Battery box. Running ot off of the power supplied to the sensor is an interesting idea, but I doubt it would work very well. The light is brightest with a full 9V. I think the light sensor only recieves 5V or less. Rob (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well, since Mario's already responded to this thread, he won't complain about me replying :) We had the xEmployees entry running at the cube again this afternoon to disassemble, but before we started taking it apart, we had to show it to a (...)

  Re: Guess what.
 
(...) Welcome to the club. As of thursday night, mine was running the anti-x in about 29 seconds - some patterns in 27 seconds, although, my robot doesn't do a pre-scan and therefore has to search every square in the X, there isn't a lot of (...)

  cool shot..
 
did anyone manage to get a photo showing the "line" of robots?? I mentioned to Dave K that if you looked down the row of tables, all you saw was robot, laptop, robot, laptop, robot, laptop, robot, PC, robot, PC, robot laptop..... this would have (...)

  Re: An extra RCX anyone?
 
(...) Although I don't have a RCX on offer, I would suggest he post in .nf. Assuing he makes it into St John's on occasion, there is at least one other lego fan there. (though not a robot fan, Heather is a Townie/Pirate person) As far as stores (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
