Dale changed username to Dale/AC13 Dale/AC13: I'm the first one back from supper. Jeff Mitchell: I was just saying to Harvie that I figured you were all still at dinner. Dale/AC13: We spent so much time building our robots that supper went long. Jeff Mitchell: I bet. That must have been a blast. Dale/AC13: Well, it's good to see you. Harvie: HI Dale- How about that_ I was correct for once Dale/AC13: It was great fun. Dale/AC13: You really missed out Harvie, the LEGO project was great. Jeff Mitchell: Dale>Did everyone's robots work? Dale/AC13: Hey Zonker, can you send an email to coladam with a sentence that starts with a capital... Harvie: I was counting on seeing that but had to be here Dale/AC13: excluding CP/M, EOS, ANN and TDOS. Dale/AC13: It is a treasure hunt challenge. Dale/AC13: Did you know that we were doing a live webcast of the resulting robots? Dale/AC13: Jeff, everyone had a robot that did soemthing... Jeff Mitchell: Yeah, I saw that, but too late. Missed it. I was doing other things through the afternoon. Harvie: For a minute I thought that was a joke about the capital Dale/AC13: Our team consisted of Murray, Jill and I. Jeff Mitchell: Cool! That's really neat. Dale/AC13: Jill did the programming, while Murray and I build our robot from the custom kit. Dale/AC13: The instructions took 35 pages. Jeff Mitchell: Holy cats! 35 pages of code? Harvie: Did it have any of those $75.00 Lego motors? Dale/AC13: The Mighty Mitchell's team's robot was the third one out on the floor. Dale/AC13: The LEGO assembly incstructions with a patiuce or two on every page. Dale/AC13: Harvie, yes, it had two LEGO motors, ... Harvie: I still haven't finished my robot from AC007 Dale/AC13: several gears, and various wheels, ... Dale/AC13: and a "Handy Board"... Harvie: I think I'll get right at it after I finish puberty Dale/AC13: which allows for 10 sensors, and many motors. Dale/AC13: It is programmed in an interpreted C language and has about 8k of memory, I think. Jeff Mitchell: That is too cool. Dale/AC13: <grin> Good plan Harvie. Harvie: I think Rich once told me his robots use a 4004 processer Dale/AC13: So we could write up a behaviour, and download it, then set it free to go explore the world. zonker: aaah, i see dale has managed to call out of the hotel! :) Dale/AC13: These use a 68HC11. Dale/AC13: Hi Zonker. Dale/AC13: We were still out at supper. zonker: howdy dale, where are the rest of those louts in cleveland? Harvie: Progress rears its head Dale/AC13: I left a good 30 minutes before the rest of the clan. zonker: uh-oh, that means herman is still licking the plates!! Jeff Mitchell: Zonker>Apparently they're still stuffing their faces <g> Dale/AC13: I expect them before 10pm though. zonker: how many folk made it this year dale? Dale/AC13: The official cound is 19. We had 17 at supper tonight. zonker: hokey smoke, thats a pretty good crowd now a days. Dale/AC13: It's been an interesting 'Con. zonker: yeah, i was reading what you've typed in already,sounds like fun. Dale/AC13: Where do you want to see the next AdamCon? Dale/AC13: There is talk of having it in Comox, in Ron's home town maybe. Jeff Mitchell: I vote for a return to the West Coast :) zonker: c'mon y'all CANT do it again....can you? :)( Dale/AC13: I think that it should be in Michigan. zonker: hmmmm....a short ferry trip for me, after a long drive by car. :) Dale/AC13: Can't do what again? There is still lots to learn about the ever expanding realm of computers. zonker: are you twisting bobs arm dale? Dale/AC13: I am at that. <grin> zonker: er"bob's" Dale/AC13: He said so where do you think that the next AdamCon should be? Dale/AC13: I said Michigan. zonker: so,any rumours about who IS going to take it? apparently the mighty mitchell is thinking it over, eh? Dale/AC13: He looked a little startled. <grin> zonker: bob looks startled on many occasions..... Jeff Mitchell: LOL! Dale/AC13: LOL zonker: be back in a few minutes..... Dale/AC13: No the only problem for me this AdamCon is that Dale/AC13: I agreed to spread out my sessions over 3 days...

changed username to Jeff Mitchell Dale/AC13: Welcome back Zonker. Jeff Mitchell: Oops :) Closed my web browser thinking the chat window would stay open Dale/AC13: Jeff, one of these days I hope to make it back to Vancouver again. Dale/AC13: And this time, maybe I can arrange to meet up with out before I go out there. Dale/AC13: Then we'd be able to at least hook up. Jeff Mitchell: Dale>That would be great. :) Yeah, I felt bad that we couldn't hook up. Unfortunately, my evenings were spoken for when you were here. Dale/AC13: I'm still working on projects with that Vancouver company. Dale/AC13: So I'm bound to end up back there again. Dale/AC13: It wasn't a problem. I'm a bit of a procrastinator when I comes to that sort of thing. Jeff Mitchell: Hehehe... :) Dale/AC13: I figured if you were free, then it would work out. Jeff Mitchell: Yes Dale/AC13: So my sessions this weekend are on how to make Adam hardware. Jeff Mitchell: Are the parts still available? zonker: so what did you make? Dale/AC13: Yesterday I taught Boolean Logic and Truth Tables. Dale/AC13: Today I taught about Schematic Diagrams, and Logic Gates Dale/AC13: Tomorrow we build something. Jeff Mitchell: Oh god! <shudder> I remember that stuff from my early computer science courses. Evil! Pure Evil! <g> zonker: <frantically searching the dictionary for "boolean logic"> Dale/AC13: ROFL. Not quite as evil as all that. Jeff Mitchell: Yes it is <g> Harvie: Dale . that should read it is NOT evil OR confusing Jeff Mitchell: LOL! Dale/AC13: Boolean Logic deals with a special form of algebra used to produce either True or False. Dale/AC13: LOL. Dale/AC13: Harvie's got the idea. Dale/AC13: Jill says that Harvie should come to an AdamCon and prove that. Dale/AC13: It Dale/AC13: It's good to see you Harvie. You've been keeping busy? zonker: tell jill to quit lurking! :) (hi jill) Harvie: Yes , too busy for my liking

Harvie: Who, Herman or Dale? zonker: yes, but whose wife? Jeff Mitchell: LOL! Jill/AC13: Herman came back with Herman's wife. :) Jeff Mitchell: :) zonker: no i meant is dale on the roof with binoculars looking out for adamcon attendees Jill/AC13: He went to get soda's and spotted zHerman in the hallway. Jill/AC13: I don't think the roof is accessible. zonker: this is getting confusing. and if you think its confusing now just wait until everyone gets on line!! :) Jill/AC13: Chat's are always confusing. zonker: dont underestimate yer husband. i think he could make the roof if he tried. Jill/AC13: Hmm.. I think I'd prefer if he didn't actually. zonker: in fact, bet him he can't and we'll all start chanting his name. Jeff Mitchell: <g> zonker: dale! dale! dale! Jill/AC13: LOL
