So the time came where I really wanted to know more, NO wait...
NEEDED to know more to better understand this fickle thing we call electricity!

My breadboard R&D requires I know the frequency of certain outputs.
SO I started shopping Oscilliscopes...

I wanted a handheld. For a nice selection and price options see

I found out that a friend is sending me his 3-4 year old laptop with a broken hinge, so I'll repair it and throw PFSense on it. Seems like a good idea.

Got a new 4 post rack for the office, and monitors to finally fill my monitor stand. Its been a good day.
 
Got a new camera!!! Post dedicated to SP!!!

So the Krishna types that follow my project logs,
and any other Hodads that have come across it...
already know of my consummate photographic skills...
The composition, the light all perfectly framed with precision and innate skill...

How could I possibly attain such photographic symmetry and balance with this!!!

Actually I swore I would never get another powershot...
but after shopping around because this one's SD connections were wearing out and it never saved the setting
I also was keen on the wi-fi, so I can save directly to computer, which means I can efficiently take better pictures with this...

Basically the same camera but ~5years newer and slimmer/smaller.
Seems to have a bunch of the latest pic/video hybrid, features including a geo-tagging capability.
Optics (optical zoom) are way better

So SP!!! Wake up the beavers and crank the handle on your router...

Cheers
 
Finally we get to see Swart put his new pot into action. You will be putting your pot into action right? Right? I wanna see results gosh darnit! GIVE ME MY RESULTS!!!:D

Sorry the anticipation of your first condensation related death of hardware is killing me.:chair:
 
I think Silver's beaver's must have escaped or something, must be low on volts...

Not sure what I am doing here yet, but probably gonna just bail on Enthusiast and go Apprentice for now with DICE only.
I am anxious as well, but have currently restricted activity due to other obligations.
Right now I am just hoping for at least one more run at the clocktagon by the end of the month...
But no worries denizens of the dark art, It will be soon...

Salud!

@mark - Ouch, I just tweaked my neck! Rotate please:) I have a Seasonic in Bruce Lee!
 
No I found the beaver sleeping this morning! So after I woke the damn thing up and gave him his maple syrup, he got back on the hamster wheel and that brought the internet back :D

Now I'm ready for those big pictures swart!!

 
You just have to start stocking some of this Silver it will keeps those beavers cranking that router for days.

Shhh. We only ask questions when the package DOESN'T get where its supposed to go. When it arrives early we just live on silent gratitude :)

But yeah... How do they do that? Maybe all that Win10 garbage lets them know what you will order before you even know it and then they stash it under your porch until the payment clears! :)
