Okay, today I'm going to do an episode on what's in my bag for Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
And I've got a little bearing in the oven over there, cooking my wife has gone.
|
|
So I need to put a bearing on a shaft today.
|
|
So using the home oven is a good way to do that.
|
|
Warm it up a little bit.
|
|
The shaft is cold.
|
|
I can hopefully slide it on without having to drive it on with a hammer to keep them damaging it.
|
|
But while I'm waiting for that to warm up, the oven to get to preheat,
|
|
I'll go through the bag that I use every day to go to work.
|
|
So first of all, I have a pair of safety glasses to get myself in the gate.
|
|
Required, they watch a bit of information on the SKF bearing I was talking about
|
|
that I printed off about home cross references, some dimensions,
|
|
the block bag, the NSK book on vibration fault guide,
|
|
another piece of paper, motion.config, the information so I can sit down and read that,
|
|
just pull this out. When I want to, I'm interested in doing a
|
|
using setting up some cameras around my place, maybe even dropping the output up to the
|
|
web so I can look at them from worker from my Android phone.
|
|
So I've got the config file there so I can study that a bit.
|
|
And you'll see that I probably don't need that actually a little later on.
|
|
Let's see, I have some piece of information for someone else about a job,
|
|
another piece of paper, a machine diagram, to, um,
|
|
let's try to emulate that ninkscape. I have another little bag here, a Ziploc,
|
|
it has essential things in it and some non-essential things that I've cleaned my office out recently.
|
|
So I need to get that some of this stuff home, some of this will be staying here.
|
|
A Willie's Hot Rod Hot Wheels, a matchbox, MR2, I own the actual sports car,
|
|
mid engine, a toy out of a Cheerios box, set of ear plugs, the hacksaw blade and flint,
|
|
and magnesium for starting a fire, case of emergency, the nuclear war,
|
|
the dental floss. Now I have a magnifying glass loop,
|
|
another magnifying glass, a magnifying small microscope for looking at things 100 times,
|
|
another little magnifying glass. Okay, I feel grease selection tool used at work
|
|
for calculating the type of grease to use in the bearing based on the speed, a note.
|
|
You don't know what that's about, some polymer glasses, note pad, book on grip, force park map,
|
|
and the next pocket guide. It's all of that little sack that I always carry around.
|
|
Another empty Ziploc that'll be staying here, a note-paking application, which is just a notebook
|
|
in a pen, non-android, non-software-related, have a set of ear buds, some ear plugs, custom-made
|
|
ear plugs, more crappy paper. It's this. A, yeah, I feel this away. Reliability
|
|
is assessment for my job from the last year. It's not really worth anything. I already got that.
|
|
Coffee staying copy of when the Oregonian newspaper sent us into collection for us not paying
|
|
the bill when they didn't deliver the paper. That's been handled, taken care of,
|
|
getting in another side pocket, more empty, clean Ziploc bags. Big ones come in handy for sorting things out.
|
|
Okay, we're getting down to more of the meat of things to empty pockets where I put gear.
|
|
I have a little temperature, a sentec temperature sensor, infrared that I have, fairly inexpensive.
|
|
You push the button, you can get a surface temperature of something which comes in really handy.
|
|
If you have, want to check whether your hotspot is in a motor, on your car, your radiator,
|
|
how hot that surface works really good. It's really cheap, really small. I've got it from
|
|
Harbor Freight. I have two microSD cards with USB adapters hanging on here that I have
|
|
information on that I can put on my computer whenever I want to and download things or
|
|
look at things, a tactical flashlight hanging. I'm getting down toward the end now into the big
|
|
pocket, have a battery, laptop charger for a small net book, a USB 5 volt charger,
|
|
charging an Android phone, another piece of paper, another diagram I want to try to pocket
|
|
in Inkscape to use. I have a net book and I use quite a bit. It's an Acer, I think it's a
|
|
10.9 inch aspire one, I think it's called a 722. Really nice machine I'm running Linux Mint,
|
|
XFCE or LMDE on that. Then in the bottom here is a car charger for that net book,
|
|
a set of USB cables. They have the ends on them that work on the Android phone and then the one
|
|
that's a little bit narrower. It works on other things. Set of chopsticks, wired mouse,
|
|
what's this? A Falcon, another car charger for a net book. I have more than one net book and so
|
|
I have a charger. I don't know if these work on all of them or not. Then let's reach down here.
|
|
There's nothing else in the bottom there and then I have a newest addition to the electronics
|
|
hardware that I have. I have a Samsung Tab 2, 7 inch. It has a case that I bought on Amazon for it
|
|
in a little keyboard. I can't remember the name of it. It's kind of miniature. It's a lot of size
|
|
of the 7 inch, the length of the keyboard, Bluetooth keyboard. I'll talk a little bit now about
|
|
the tablet. It's an experiment for me to see if I like a tablet. It was really inexpensive,
|
|
a Costco, $169. Seems to work really good. I don't know that I like it in the form factor of
|
|
this little binder thing that you basically set it up like in that book. I don't really see the
|
|
sense. I kind of like one of the keyboard in case I was somewhere and could use it for sending
|
|
an email, check on IRC without having to use the software little keyboard that comes up. I will
|
|
say the tablet is nice. It has a lot of good features about it and basically I'm probably
|
|
planning on using it as a reader. I have figured out, this is fairly simple, how to download things
|
|
onto it, transfer things onto a Bluetooth from my telephone and I haven't tried to tether it
|
|
through the phone yet, which is something I'll have to be doing. But it's a kind of an experiment,
|
|
kind of an inexpensive way to go just to try the tablet form factor out. I'm really not all that
|
|
impressed with it except for the fact that it's thin, small and it starts up fairly fast. I can
|
|
use it as a reader to read items and I like to print things in PDF. I'll go to a web page where
|
|
there's information and I want to read it and I'll just print it off in PDF because I think
|
|
much Zilla or maybe my Cubs has a print-of-file and I can just print it off and save it and then
|
|
I can even jump that up to Google Drive and read those things. So unfortunately when I'm at work
|
|
with the right carrier this bag, the thing I have the least amount of time to work with or to
|
|
have any interaction with is these computers and tablets because just things are so busy and
|
|
you can hardly get work done in eight hours if you keep going. Now I also have a key to a lock
|
|
that is, I believe that's it, a lock I use for locking devices at work. I say I said earplugs,
|
|
so that's it. That's what's in my bag. Basically I haul this stuff in and out of work just about
|
|
every day. Some of it won't be going back with me. The worn out Ziploc bags and some of the things
|
|
but I always carry the net book in that and so that's it and thank you for listening and I'll probably
|
|
have some more shows out on a little while about different things and you can tell I collect toys
|
|
and hey my bearing, pre-heat went off on the oven so I'll leave a cook for a half an hour or so
|
|
and I'll probably um if you're interested jump me a send me an email and I'll let you know how the
|
|
bearing thing came out which I'm sure no one's interested in but me but the idea there is to expand
|
|
the bearing the diameter of the inner race on the bearing larger than the shaft that it fits tightly
|
|
on that it's a slip fit or a shrink fit slip it in place it'll shrink down to the right size without
|
|
banging on it which will actually damage it so hey thanks a lot for listening and you know that
|
|
you always have hacker public radio available to put your show out and to share with you have what
|
|
