mormanman Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hey, do you guys know if there is a place on the internet where I can look at the MMS from my cell phone? I don't have MMS for my phone so it would be helpful.Thanks.
Nerdlock Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 This looks like it might help if you used it in reverse somehow. You will need to connect your phone to your computer using most likely a USB cable. Brand and service provider would be helpful to know. This looks a little confusing to setup but looks like what you need.

My phone is a Motorola SLVR with service from Cingular or ATT, they're the same now though so...I'll look at those links and see what happens.
BigBang Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Once again a "help me" request. You guys helped me so much with finding cheap KNO3. For those who don't know, it can be had through UAP or ProSource One (I bought from them.) I've made a number of pounds of recrystallized rcandy with this. Unfortuanately, my partner in the project screwed me over. Taking my work as his own, being a cunt, etc... So I need to move onto phase two a little sooner than I expected while trying to manipulate the rockets to what I was wanting to do before the guy decided to dick out. I'm developing an ammonium nitrate propellant similar to Nakka's as some of you may have seen. I don't like his use of neoprene though so I will be working with other chloropolymers, nothing fancy though, trying to make this as cheap and OTC as possible. I will be needing, again, at least 100lbs of NH3NO3 (which means cold packs are out of the question.) Are there any US sources who still carry ammonium nitrate fertilizer? I *may* have University backing on this so credentials shouldn't be a problem, but, I don't want to pull those strings if I don't have to. If anyone knows a source, or could buy and ship, that would be a big help. Thanks guys
jacob Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Around here just about all the fertilizer dealers under the sun carry it, much easier to find then KNO3, but I don't know of any that don't require ID of some sort, some you actually have to sign a list.
mormanman Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I know that my friend (the one with the .50 cal) is going to buy a ton of AN for $300. How you may ask? His buddy owns a ranch so you get it cheaper that way. So my advice is find someone with a ranch or farm.Jacob, they haven't emailed me back and I can't get there phone number. So I don't know how you can find KNO3 easier but lucky you.
flying fish Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Ok...I have to write an informative article for a philosophy class (which will also be published in the school newspaper apparently!) about something somewhat controversial that effects university life. So, of course it is due on Friday and I don't have a topic yet. Well...that's not exactly true. I have a few ideas, they just aren't very good. - Why did B section (Fall/Spring students) get their own fireworks display and A section (Summer/Winter students) didn't?!?!?!?!?! (I am A section...and this idea doesn't work because it has to be 2 pages long. I don't see how I could do a 2 page informative rant on our lack of a fireworks display)- Dormitory Microwave Ovens and you; How to have responsible fun while not actually cooking food (this is what I started on, but it seems stupid)- Energy Drinks and Studying - ... Any thoughts/idea? I don't need to do a "great" job, the school paper sucks anyway. What more could you expect from an engineering/ applied science school? I still need to come up with SOMETHING for a grade though. Meanwhile I still have my much harder coursework like Boundary Value Problems which I am epically failing at so far...Why do I need to know how to solve a 1D heat equation with all these crappy boundary conditions? I'm a physics major... I only need to know how to build up a wave function, hehe. Edited August 14, 2008 by flying fish
Richtee Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Heh...just for grins- Fallen heros of the fireworks hall of fame
mormanman Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Thats really how it is in South Carolina. I use to live there for 6 years. You could buy fireworks a 14 and do them anywhere b/c no one cared. I miss that.I was in the Columbia area. Really in Columbia.

So, of course it is due on Friday and I don't have a topic yet. How bout the stress placed on students trying to come up with some BS topic for a useless class when they have REAL coursework to do?
flying fish Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) I went for the energy drink topic...actually ended up a pretty easy thing to write about. I actually (believe it or not) found proper references...not just total BS...and wrote it out with a two page newpaper formatted article with a pretty picture to go along with it. I even included an amuzing quote from a friend "It's like Sleep in a can"...."It's liquid sleep!" Then on a hunch I emailed the prof and asked if that was right...and he said "no, put it on a 1 in. margin page, standard format, double spaced, and can't go over 2 pages." Oh nooos! I had just written two full single-spaced pages! Needless to say, I spent the next couple of hours downsizing the paper. I saved the original though. The extra crap on my Hard drive are like a badge of honor from working too hard . My "real" coursework is going to end up causing me a lot more stress. BVP is annoying because it is a high level math class, and I'm not a math major. There are like 5 of us physics students and 8 math majors. The math majors get annoying with their whole "understanding the concepts" thing and whatnot. Boundary conditions are pretty important in physics, so I guess I can't complain too much. I just have to "shut up and calculate" as they say. Edited August 16, 2008 by flying fish
WarezWally Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Just got myself a 24" LCD..... HOLY S*** this is awesome
mormanman Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Wally I hate to one up you but try 52". That shiz is nice.Has anyone seen Pineapple Express? Movie is funny as balls. I loved it, go see it it is well worth it.
Pretty green flame Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Wally I hate to one up you but try 52". That shiz is nice. I think he might be talking about a 24" computer screen
mormanman Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 LOL. I hate to one up you PGF, I hooked the TV to my PC. LOL52" PC screen. LOL.
WarezWally Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) I think he might be talking about a 24" computer screen Yep, 1920x1200 goodness. Looks amazing next to my 19" (which is my second monitor now) Its a BenQ V2400W, has a HDMI input with some fancy scaling so I can connect my PS3 as well. Edited August 16, 2008 by WarezWally
flying fish Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Another glitter test... I used 72 parts medium (halfway milled) blackpowder with 7 parts of all of the following added: Barium Carbonate, Sulfur, antimony sulfide, and atomized aluminum. Then +5.5% dextrin for binding. The effect is a dense bright white, obnoxiously fast glitter. Probably useless, but I will try it in a shell anyway. The following is a 5/8" pumped star made from this comp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxcE0PfXPV0
mormanman Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 FF, that is a nice glitter.Wally, PS3, you just one upped me. I have an X box 360 and I like but would sell my sister for a PS3.

BigBang Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 5th element FTW! Man, I'm old school with my fancy cathode ray tube! Laptop is awesome though (dell M90).
qwezxc12 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I went to the Atlas Festival of Fireworks at the Jaffery Airport in NH last night...great show. Theme was "movie soundtracks" or something close. Met up with hst45 and his lovely wife...Lovely because both she and my nephew put up with the two of us discussing the "best" recipe for blue, what we're currently working on, and various, semi-humorous tales of charcoal dust tracked throughout the house, flake Al everywhere, and HNO3 burns on the countertops Anyway there were some neat shells and effects, though nothing ground breaking: They had some Saturn shells that incorporated Dragon's Eggs into the planet.Lots of really nice color comets with Al / Ti tailsSome big (12"?) BEAUTIFUL Kamuro brocades, both plain and with AP? (slow burning and brilliant) cores of Yellow, Red and Purple.Really nice metal fire-dust to green strobe shells, 8" at least.Excellent choreography with comets, both fans and angled racks.Lots of big comet can shells (I was surprised)A volley of completely kick-ass BIG glitter (WIN39 maybe, or something like it) crossette shells that were PERFECT!And during the "Superman" theme, they had some neat 6"-ish Red, White & Blue strobe shells...now the blue didn't strobe, just the Red & White, but your eyes played tricks and it looked as though the whole shell strobed...nice effect! All together, a nice show...it lasted 30-40 minutes, great length. And the airport is so small, every spot had an excellent view. Here's a video I found up on YouTube already, unfortunately not even one of the best sequences, but still an example of the show...and yes, the full moon was right behind the display. You couldn't ask for a more perfect night! We got some ice cream afterward and the parking lot looked like the Somme there was so much BP smoke drifting across it.
flying fish Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) semi-humorous tales of charcoal dust tracked throughout the house, flake Al everywhere, and HNO3 burns on the countertops Very Good stuff...and I like how youtube has the "high quality" option now. That's what happens when you don't sweep up the floor. I have footprints going in circles around my garage. What I was doing walking in circles, I can't remember! It gets worse when wet...or when lampblack is one of the ingredients your floor is dusted with. Parts of my bench also resemble the tin man. I'm still working on removing some "mysterious black stains" from a classic Grand Prix...Now THERE'S an excuse not to attend the woodward cruise this year! Not that I would have gone anyway. It might be a "classic", but currently the Grand Prix is really more of a gansta ride/ pimp-mobile than it is a classic fascination. One time a black guy walked up to us and informed us "the pimps nowadays...they'll drop at least 10 grand in cash on one of those things - on the spot!" Plus sitting in traffic sucks ass, even when it is supposedly "being in a cruise." Edited August 18, 2008 by flying fish
TheSidewinder Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 That was a great video! And nice to see members getting together to put faces behind the names.
