Hello

Kind of bored sitting in front of the computer, logging into various bbses and exploring.

The last couple of days I've been setting up a new WWIV BBS. It's called "The Barbed Hook".

Still keeping this BBS though, it's something to work on when I get the motivation again. Needs private messaging and the ability to set pointers. It wouldn't take long, just have no motivation to do it.

It's been fairly hot here today, not super hot, but not jumper weather.

Have not been getting much sleep due to CPAP raining out all the time (hose gets water in it for some reason).

There you go, now you know some of the CPAP lingo. Well, that's all the lingo I


























































































































know anyway :P Exciting stuff.

If you want to have a look at my WWIV bbs, it's at barbedhook.ddns.net:2323

Oh I updated my sudoku door game, it now times the game and has a top 10 leaderboard.

Well, have fun.

Rain, hail or shine I can't see CPAP being fun any of the time. I s'pose you get used to it though. I got pushed into a sleep clinic that wired you up and did all the is he breathing type setup. In the morning they ask did you sleep?


























































































































Well I s'pose I must have, but I don't remember... that'll do, tick... <chuckle> Maybe you need a regulator for the air line... or a moisture trap... basically just a little jar with a tap on the bottom, and hose fittings at the top... if there's a enough moisture to pool it sits in the collector until you empty it.

Hi Apam, hey I need some better and scary ANSI for my haunted system.
(I'm kidding.)

It seems like my Haunted BBS needs something else, but I'm just not sure
what. [Besides callers! hahaha.]

Have not been getting much sleep due to CPAP raining out all the time (hose gets water in it for some reason).

This I do know something about. Try covering the hose with a blanket or
sheet so there's less of a temperature difference to cause condensation.

Here in Memphis it's finally getting to be cold. Used to be normal in October, but the past 15-20 years it's seemed to stay hot longer into the Fall. Wasn't totally prepared for it this year, but hey, I'll take that over 90+ with 90% Humidity all the time.

You don't remember if you slept? That's another problem! LOL

You're wired up to the hilt, electrodes over your head, chest, a mask on your face measuring respiration... Its exceedingly uncomfortable, so I found I couldn't just go to sleep in any normal sort of way.... just sit there uncomfortable and wait for the time to pass... did I nod off? probably...

difference, still I s'pose its an air flow compared to static so it could well be. On some level, my theory was the same as a compressor, at some point the thing is pushing air so its being squashed if not necessarily compressed, but when you squash air the moisture falls out. Which is why you end up with the receiver full of water, and some in the airlines.. so you normally stick the moisture filter near the compressor.

You're putting too much water in the reservoir (at least that's what has happened to me)

Rain, hail or shine I can't see CPAP being fun any of the time. I
s'pose you get used to it though.

I sure as hell did... and it's helped my blood pressure numbers massively.

Then again, I learned how to sleep on a carrier underneath a catapult while working night shift.

put about half that.

I've tried everything, have the humidity down to 0, it's supposed to have a heated hose, and I've got a cover on it (like a blanket)

The thing is it's only started happening in the last few months (well it's always happened in cold weather, but now it happens even when it's not particularly cold).

I sure as hell did... and it's helped my blood pressure numbers massively.

Yeah, I'm used to mine I don't get a very good sleep without it. Apparently with my sleep study I was stopping breathing about twice a minute... so it was kind of urgent to be on one.

The pressures involved aren't really that high. CPAP is limited to how
high it can go. The BIPAP is the next level up. It has to monitor the respiration and work with the wearer. I've never seen one of those --
I hope I never do.

But once the CPAP gets up to speed, the pressure stays mostly constant.
There's slight changes when you breath, but it should (I think) be mostly
the same.

CPAP = "Constant Positive Airway Pressure"

My Mom has had a CPAP for many years. It's a really old model, no
heater, no tank (for water/moisture). In wintertime it is rough for
her, it blows ice cold air onto her sinuses. She uses the blankets to
try to pre-warm the air some. I've got a newer one with the heater and
tank.

Take care,

There you go, now you know some of the CPAP lingo. Well, that's all the lingo I know anyway :P Exciting stuff.

I've been (trying) to use a CPAP for a couple of years now: I have it ramp up slowly over 45 minutes (the slowest setting), but when it reaches the full force flow (the minimum required to keep you breathing, apparently), it always wakes me up and I remove it, completely irritated. The maximum length of time I've managed to tolerate it is just over an hour.

Obviously the CPAP is doing you no good if you can't wear it, perhaps your mouth is open when you sleep? then the pressure would escape and it would ramp up.

I assume so. The CPAP uses some low-speed/cheap cellular data connection (which

I guess it's one of those things really, once you know there's a more serious issue it's the kind of thing you want to use as many options that are
available to sort.

That said, I've always wondered how easy (if at all) it is to try and sleep with something puffing air up your nose that's on your face. I'm afraid I
would not do well in that camp. I would revert to thinking I was in some

Skip the ramp up, just go full force.

So you have it start up full force?

I found it was the quickest way to get used to it, ripping the bandaid off quickly so to speak.

At what pressure setting? I came across a YouTube video that explained how to put my unit (a Resmed AirSense 10, model 37015) into the Clinician mode where I





















































































































could change the settings. Mine was set to 16.0, but I'm experimenting with different pressure settings now. Unfortunately, my unit, although it came with an SDCard, does not store the detailed sensor data on the SDCard that you need to determine if its working to prevent the apnea events or not (e.g. use the open source software, OSCAR). So I may be getting a different machine.

I've been (trying) to use a CPAP for a couple of years now: I have it ramp up slowly over 45 minutes (the slowest setting), but when it reaches the full force flow (the minimum required to keep you breathing, apparently), it always wakes me up and I remove it, completely
irritated. The maximum length of time I've managed to tolerate it is just over an hour. I'm using the "nose pillows", not a mask. Got any pointers for me? :-)

I use the nose pillows too and they
are far better than a full mask. Maybe try some melatonin to help you get to sleep while you are getting used to it. I can't sleep without the CPAP.

I don't have any trouble falling asleep with it (at least when it
starts out on low pressure), but always get woken up (after about 45 minutes) by the full blast up my nose and it seems to be spraying my
face. At that point, I'm tired and irritated that it woke me up, so I always rip it off my head and fall right back asleep. I'll try it
without the ramp up since that just isn't working for me. Thanks,

Many years ago the results of a Sleep Study showed I had Sleep Apnea and
I started using a CPAP Machine and wearing a Mask.

I used it for a couple of years and didn't think I needed it so I quit using it.

I still move my Legs as I sleep, at least that is what My Wife tells me.

I don't know, I'm asleep then and have no idea what I'm doing.

In another echo I wrote about when I was in the Navy, one of the Aircraft Carriers I served on had my bunk right under a Landing Wire that the Tail
Hook on Airplanes would grab and then make a awful noise when the Plane
landed and the Cable was pulled out, and then later rewound bak on the
Whiches so the next Plane could grab it. Then agan, then again, then again...

I hope that You can get adjusted to how your CPAP Machine functions.
The mask I wore didn't bother me, back then I never knew of nose pillows,
I probably wouldn't like it if that is what came with the CPAP Machine.

I'm set to get into one of these from my doctor from my last appointment last month. With the next 2 weeks off from work...going to see if I can get in to get it done before going to overnights soon.

Had no idea that I could choose the Batman model. Just gotta make sure if
they tell me I need it that I want the same model that John Hurt used in "Alien". ;D

The rest of us just give our sleep and exercise data to Fitbit (soon to
be owned by Google), or just cut out the need for middlemen entirely by letting Google or Apple keep track of all our movements.

Amazfit and Ziaomi devices can talk to an Android app, Gadgetbridge,
without going out to the cloud or any third-party services. For the
truly vigilant, it's available on the F-Droid third-party store. For
my $30 Mi Band 4 to have a battery that lasts a month and doesn't talk
to outside services, it's pretty neat.

Been bored lately. Everything I usually do isn't really fulfilling at the moment.

I've been reinstalling OSes, am and currently on AlmaLinux, but even
that is starting to get boring - there seems to be no interesting linux distros anymore and other OSes don't seem to run well enough on my computer. Maybe I've been doing it too long.

I've set up synchronet.. it's kind of fun. I'm keen to see what they're using MQTT for. But why?

I don't have the concentration to read a book or watch a movie. Even if I did I don't seem to have a long enough uninterrupted chunk of time to do so.

Started writing a BBS in rust, but that got old pretty quickly.

Set up a minetest server again, it's just me. It's kind of fun if I can get myself motivated to play it.

Second Life is kind of dull, but I have managed to break even the last couple of months, so that's a plus (ie, it's not costing me anything as I make enough in game to pay the fees)

Just bored I guess.

I was going through that here. I bought a new laptop so have everything isntalled on that and a pile of games for playing without internet. I know
I won't play them but it killed some time.

I do small wood carvings when I am motivated. Pretty cheap hobby as long
as you don't go overboard. :)

Watch Doug Linker on youtube as he has amazing tutorial videos that are good for beginers to advanced.

Oh, I know how that is.. have so many games I will probably never play. Seem to gravitate between a few favourites, and have a whole lot i like the idea of but can't get motivated to play.

Same here. I've been trying to liven things up with gaming, but it is really hard to find something I can get into. Right now, I'm a bit into Mechwarrior
5 Mercenaries. We'll see how long it lasts. I think it will as it's
playable, not too open world and if I get stuck I can bring in human co-op player vs. the AI.

Rust is cool, once you get the code to compile. ;)

Having said that, it is neat to see C and C++ and other languages, improve because of Rust and it's unique takes on things.

Set up a minetest server again, it's just me. It's kind of fun if I
can get myself motivated to play it.

Depending on what kind-o minetest server you're (or anyone else here is) interested in, let me know... I'm currently running a Minetest server (server.beanzilla.net default port 30000).

I've got cars, boats, planes, a helicopter, a submarine, oh and I even
got guns. (Please note, PVP fighting is enabled, and spawn is currently
bugged so you can fight/die at spawn, which isn't supposed to be allowed)
I've also got a interesting health mechanic, where geting shot,
stabbed, etc. can cause injuries that can cause you to bleedout, and when
your health drops to 0 it keeps going (like in a unconcious state).
You need someone else to patch you up with the right order of medical bandages in order to stop bleeding. (So making at least 1 alt is allowed/recommended, or have a friend you can ping to have them come heal
you)

Or if you need any help in picking mods or have a mod you'd like to get
done up, just let me know, I've moved on to quite a collection of mods
and even done up a few modpacks.

Take Care,
Apollo

did you sleep? Well I s'pose I must have, but I don't
remember... that'll do, tick... <chuckle>

You don't remember if you slept? That's another problem! LOL

You're wired up to the hilt, electrodes over your head, chest, a mask on your face measuring respiration... Its exceedingly uncomfortable, so I found I couldn't just go to sleep in any normal sort of way.... just sit there uncomfortable and wait for the time to pass... did I nod off? probably...
