<B0101> hi azonenberg
<azonenberg> hi
<azonenberg> Did you end up ordering any of that quartz?
<B0101> yup... but it has not arrived
<B0101> yet
<azonenberg> Lol
<azonenberg> Shipping... the bane of every experimenter
<B0101> my preferred shipping option: portals
<azonenberg> Lol
<azonenberg> i wish
<B0101> well, it it exists, it would be the fastest way to buy stuff
<azonenberg> Indeed
<azonenberg> *want*
<B0101> if it ever exists... we will have a few issues...
<azonenberg> lol
<azonenberg> Probably
<B0101> if thieves get their hands on one... shoot portal in to victims house
<azonenberg> You'd have to have an open window
<B0101> yup
<azonenberg> otherwise the portal just appears on a window
<B0101> but still... there may be one way to prevent this...
<B0101> how aperture does it: make it as expensive as hell that no one can afford it
<azonenberg> lol
<B0101> another way: use big sized portal generators on both the sender and the receiver's end
<B0101> and then lock the system with a password
<B0101> with very strong encryption
<B0101> as for the quartz glass... it can wait. we all need to have a bit of patience sometimes. (though it will be hard)
<B0101> azonenberg: have you ever though about making your own photoresist?
<B0101> *thought
<azonenberg> No, i dont have the o-chem background to try synthesizing DNQ
<B0101> well, i might be on to something...
<azonenberg> ooh
<azonenberg> do tell
<azonenberg> DNQ or another photoactive compound?
<B0101> i have been doing experiments on AgCl... It seems like i might be able to make a developer that removes Ag remains after the exposure of a certain area of light without touching the AgCl
<azonenberg> interesting
<azonenberg> The problem is that its metal based
<azonenberg> not sure if it'd be CMOS compatible
<azonenberg> you could probably use it for MEMS though
<B0101> ouch... i forgot
<B0101> exposure might need to be done in a hood
<B0101> AgCl when exposed to light breaks into Ag and Cl
<azonenberg> Oh joy
<azonenberg> worse yet
<azonenberg> it'll corrode your exposure system
<azonenberg> i'm sticking with DNQ-novolac
<B0101> ok... maybe i'll have to try something else...

<B0101> hi azonenberg
<azonenberg> hi
<azonenberg> Any luck on the homebrew resist?
kristianpaul has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
<B0101> nope...
<B0101> i wasn't able to get a proper image (some parts of the resist do not work)
<azonenberg> i see
<azonenberg> Why are you trying this - do you not have a source for regular resist?
<B0101> i know where to get regular resist, but i am trying this for people who may not have such access to these chemicals
<azonenberg> I see
<azonenberg> Do you think you could synthesize a DNQ-novolac resist?
<azonenberg> i dont know anything about the chemistry behind that
<B0101> i will be doing research on them tomorrow.
<B0101> now god knows how long i've been here in the lab
<B0101> well, i think i might have some old patents for DNQ-novolac photoresists. I will try to find them
* B0101 goes to get a cup of coffee
<B0101> back
<B0101> azonenberg: fact: AgCl is able to cure mercury poisoning
<azonenberg> Lol, you do that
<azonenberg> i'm writing FPGA code now
<azonenberg> and wondering when i'll be able to find time to finish designing my rev2 spin coater
<soul-d> from coffee to mercury poisoning mmm "this new silvery coffeemilk looks posh ? "
<azonenberg> lol
* B0101 does know what to do except laugh at previous comment
<soul-d> finally nice weather arriving here
<soul-d> wich means hibernation is over and should be able to spend some energy again
* azonenberg didnt know geeks hibernated
<azonenberg> i thought they just crawled deep into their caves

<soul-d> nah lost to much weight again so winters are terrible anything below 10C for that matter
