The end game is nothing is solved <snip>
Anyway I’ve run out of time to write this post as I’m having a shit and writing it on my iPad so I’m going to wipe and use the remaining half an hour of my day to do something productive. Thanks for assisting with the constipation.
Well it appears that your constipation is twofold. One, potentially gastrointestinal, but Two, definitely mental. Hopefully I helped with at least one of them?
The bowel yes. The peristalsis invoked by your utterings was cathartic and I'm 1.1Kg lighter (2.4lb in dumbass units). Thank you indeed.
Again, I am happy that you felt the need to come rushing to Joe's defense, while he continued to make himself look like an addled old codger, running people around in circles with incorrect guidance on how to decipher his heiroglyphic instruction set. But in reality, what you are doing is generally referred to as "elder abuse". You are perpetuating his mania by validating it with a bit of your own, all while ignoring the points that were made with regards to what Joe seems to enjoy doing in this thread, which is pretend like he is sitting on the Rosetta Stone, and offering up the key to anyone willing to tolerate his dementia long enough for him to extend it.....When and if he feels like you have earned it.
I would refer you to my partner, a rather prominent psychologist, academic and doctor on why you are wrong. However I just dumped her, partly because the academic rigour in her sector is near zero and most of what they come out with is reasonable sounding ideas that they desperately try and fit data and conclusions to to validate their existence. Quite frankly that doesn't sit well with me as it's intellectually dishonest. So coming out with any popular psychology, which is built on the pillars of this excrement, is not a viable point to argue from.
You (and his) odd need to continue bashing HAM radio license holders is curious indeed. Joe gets a pass on this, because as mentioned, he appears to be suffering, (quite a bit acutally), from a sort of God complex. You, on the other hand, are admittedly just here for the entertainment.
Oh I'm not here for the entertainment. My day job is in the IT sector as you probably know. Technically at the moment I'm a somewhat tenured contract greybeard but I've been in the trenches of course for many years. And I've seen some of the most insane, degenerate, disgusting people in those trenches. I figured I needed a technical escape from that and some tie back to the previous career as an electrical engineer so after futzing with test gear for ages, I jumped through the hoops and got all the ham licenses here. A monkey could pass them, although some monkeys did not. This involved at the end of it, unfortunately, meeting hams. And they make the worst of the people I've seen in the IT trenches look like good mating material to keep the human race going forward. I mean where else other than a hamfest (or possibly Comic Con) can you queue up for 30 minutes in the burning sun with people nearly slipping off this mortal coil, the whiff off unwashed hair and armpits, lasagne flavoured vapes, gout and heart problems and if you happen to have your adult daughter with you, the wandering eyes of people who's only encounter with a woman was Mrs Hand and her five daughters.
All a ham license does for the majority of the holders is give them some perverted sense of value in a society that rejected them because they are rejectable. Some proudly walk around with a name badge and call sign on showing their importance, some dress up as close to police officers as they can and end up directing traffic at a car boot sale and some decorate their gardens with monstrous towers and fuck up the CATV / Internet for 2 miles in each direction. They only do this because the real world rejected their fantasies of power and control because they had that much of a personality disorder that it's the only bit of society that would accept them. And why would they not accept them...
Now a number of us when we did our licenses kept in contact, via sensible means aka WhatsApp and email like the rest of society. No one bothers now because of the racists, the misogynists, the perverts, the personality disorders and the general association with such folk.
On top of that it's a kick in the teeth because I did actually build my own receiver, transmitter and gear from scratch! (oh and a K2). All I get is people whining I'm 25Hz off frequency. I'm literally sending you this signal on a transmitter made of 11 parts I put together myself. You're sitting there on your fat stinky ass in front of several thousand dollars of Elecraft K-line stuff that you don't actually know how it works pissing on everyone. Yeah nice job.
So that's why I dislike the whole ham thing. And I think it's justified. I was attending hamfests until recently just to rip off their shit and sell it on ebay and make loads of money but I can't be bothered with that now any more either because I might catch something itchy off them.
If you actually believe that what Joe has offered up here is a clean path to success, for those who wish to investigate the worthiness of his "software", for whatever reason they choose, then please, by all means, defend that position with a solution of your own, for example on how to locate the one file, that appears to be required to arrive at a successful installation: "ni-labview-2020-runtime-engine_20.1.1_offline.iso" . That file does not appear to exist anywhere in NI's website, yet without it, the entirety of his offering is fruitless.
Like I said I don't give a fuck. I actually give a minuscule proportion less of a fuck now it's NI LabVIEW. I mean I've done my time on that before and it hurt me. But I reckon I could find that if for a moment I started giving a fuck. I mean it basically says "install the LabVIEW runtime" yeah? Sure I can work that out.
I would have gladly wandered off into the distance, biting my tongue, had he not replied to my post with "those pesky stepper motors, watch the video", which caused me to watch the video again, only to discover that I had already done what he described in the video, report that in a subsequent post, and then be led off in another direction by that reply. THAT is when I realized that this guy has no desire to help anyone succeed, but rather, he takes pleasure in assiting in their failure to get his software up and running.
This is the Internet. Expectations of accuracy and no legwork on the part of the consumer are never guaranteed. I mean how many thousands of circuits out there are absolute garbage trash and junk designed by complete and utter morons, some quite famous (Forest Mimms is the biggest fraud ever for example). You have to fill in the gaps yourself.
A while ago I published a design on here for a fully analoge scope excercising unit which bounces a little ball on the screen in X-Y mode. This was a fairly simple quadrature oscillator and a couple of triangle oscillators and two summing amplifiers. Someone built it and got pissy in DMs that it didn't work. I don't care! Fix it yourself.
By the way I assume you meant "assisting" rather than "assiting" there.
At that point, it, much like you proclaimed, became sport fucking for me. My only desire now, is to try and flood this thread with as many posts as I see fit, highlighting his dementia, while hopefully making other potentially interested parties aware that they have no hope for success IF they follow his "instructions" because the requisite file(s), required for success, do not exist, at least not publicly.
Perhaps the problem is with your demeanour, not the recipient. I mean you're doing a lot to ruin your own credibility in that statement. I mean you have switched to "pee all over the furniture" because no one fed you. It'll be humping the cushions next.
P.S. Points awarded for the: "I was around before AOL came in and screwed it all up for everyone" quip... That did indeed make me chuckle a little bit. Bravo.
Thank you.
Takes a bow
