NEMB - Nukem Enterprises Message Board

Most of my time is spent with family and work. Spare time, I've been doing hobby programming (even though my day job is that now too). Got into COBOL and have been making some stuff in that.

How about you?

*Been a while since I've heard someone make a Hendrix ref. (nm) - Joe, Fri Jan 07 2022 11:36pm
- Same here. Don't think I've even listened to a Hendrix song - Erik_, Sun Jan 09 2022 12:50am
  in probably 10 years. Not because I don't like it, just hasn't crossed my mind. My old cover band I was in about 15 years ago used to play a bunch of Hendrix. We played Purple Haze, All Along The Watchtower, Hey Joe and another band I was in covered Fire. Good music.

about a year or so - Joe, Thu Jan 06 2022 3:34pm
About a year or so. So what are you guys up to these days -- Job's etc.

  And making a little money 3D printing here and there. Not much to speak of, but hey at least I'm contributing to the IRS's bank account and keeping a small portion for myself, right? Here's one of my buildings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203373595694
- - Fun! - Joe, Fri Jan 07 2022 11:22pm
    I'm actually going to be doing a few lessons with our high schoolers on AutoCad and 3D printing next week. We are going to design and print bridges. (The fun part should be cutting out the support structures that are printed too) ... Luckily, being in a school and with all those generous STEM g... more
  - - PrusaSlicer makes support removal easy. - Puckdropper, Sat Jan 08 2022 9:09am
      Sometimes the best thing to do is rotate the support about 5 degrees. It doesn't need to be more, I tried 10 and 15 degrees and was just wasting filament. You'd also be surprised sometimes what will print without supports. I don't know if Cura supports angled supports. In PrusaSlicer you do have... more
    - - Can you use Prusa's software with other printers - Joe, Sat Jan 08 2022 8:31pm
        I know regardless I have to re do it in gdrem format for my printer to take it. Which is kinda annoying but whatever. So if it can save the STL with the supports already drawn in I guess that would work?
      - You'd have to check. Dremel might not speak straight g-code - Puckdropper, Mon Jan 10 2022 11:18am
        Because of attempting vendor lock in. You can save a STL from PrusaSlicer, so at least there's that.

      NEW WEBSITE! techypriest.com (And this one has been up the longest of any I ever had) :)
    - - *Nice! I'll add it to my links page next time I update. (nm) - Erik_, Sun Jan 09 2022 12:31am
    - - JoeBasic, Inc rises again! - Puckdropper, Fri Jan 07 2022 2:37am
        We can give you a custom Puckdropper's Place sub domain. Erik has nukementerprises.puckdroppersplace.us We can give you joebasic.blurredvisions.nukementerprises.puckdroppersplace.us I think. I'm not sure if I can have sub-sub domains. :-)
      - HAHA - Joe, Fri Jan 07 2022 11:25pm
        I think I'm good with this one, I run alot my projects on the server side of this one. Though looking to spin up a VPS instead of using BlueHost here pretty soon. Speaking of the JoeBasic Inc stuff, any of you happen to have the source code to my old wrestling sim on your systems. I think I ha... more
        
        I might have a copy at my Mom's house... - Erik_, Sun Jan 09 2022 12:30am
        I checked the backups and stuff here and don't have it but I know I must have downloaded it back in the day. My mom lives 4hrs+ away though so I won't be able to check until next time we go visit (and with Covid surging again, it's going to be a bit...) Edit: Trying Archive.org... so clos... more
        
        Wow I'm impressed you remembered ALL my websites! (nm) - Joe, Thu Jan 20 2022 10:33pm
        
        Just lucky searching through archive.org - Erik_, Sun Jan 23 2022 1:18pm
        The archived version of this message boards had a link to your old message boards which luckily enough was updated a few times with your site link. I also used the old php forums for links too to look up in the archive.
        
        Hard Drive space was expensive - Puckdropper, Tue Jan 11 2022 3:21am
        archive.org didn't archive downloads for a long time, and still it's hit or miss. I'll have to look and see if anything remains from my NE copy during the "Learn Perl" days but I doubt it.
        
        I think they have a separate section for data archvies - Erik_, Wed Jan 12 2022 12:17am
        like programs and stuff. I remember seeing HackSoft's Space Psycho (QB game from the 90s) was actually archived there under it's own spot instead of a link from a website. That said, someone has to manually archive those things unlike the web crawler. Honestly, it's absolutely amazing archive... more
        
        So your last sentence says - Puckdropper, Sat Jan 15 2022 6:13pm
        Archive.org: Let's download the Internet Erik: Let's copy the download of the Internet I agree--we need to preserve some of this stuff as long as possible. Many good sites and programs have been lost because the guy who created it lost interest or lost in other ways (death, jail, taxes, you nam... more
        
        *"wget *" should do it, no? :) (nm) - Erik_, Mon Jan 17 2022 1:09am
        
        *wget -r * ? Gotta get the recursion in there. (nm) - Puckdropper, Mon Jan 17 2022 9:21am
        
        *Ah yes! Of course. Thanks. That should do it. (nm) - Erik_, Mon Jan 17 2022 2:14pm
