Still pretty entertaining.

This. Shelly could bench her team and still win.

Run, Mike, run!

In all seriousness, what makes it more capable than your average 10" netbook at 4x the price? I understand the OS is better, but my Hackintosh for $300 seems like the far better mobile platform. I looked and the little Lenovo that GE is selling here is one of the simplest to put OSX on so if I were in your shoes I'd spend $200 on that, throw OSX on it and see what you think. It'd save you ~$800.

My thinking was that just about any wallwart Dinny is likely to find laying around won't be regulated or exactly 2.1A. So odds are good that any 6V unit is probably pushing over 7V already and I'd rather undershoot than overshoot. If it's a simple LDO on the inside the worst case by feeding it too little voltage is that you get poor to no regulation and perhaps low voltage at the output, right? The consequences of too much V on the input seem much worse (burnout).

I'd probably try a 6V unit before I tried a 9V one.

The first time was much worse than this one, thankfully my glove deflected part of the force this time so I didn't go that deep. It'll still be a nice scar. Sounds like your office mate hit a tendon, which can be really bad if not diagnosed properly. Hopefully she gets some good news or better advise before she lands on an operating table with months of rehab to look forward to.

Happy Birthday, Marc!

Dang, I wonder if you could easily disassemble them and get the aluminum parts anodized black?

Built a shelf in the shed to help with winter storage. Cut my left index finger with a hack saw (again) although this time it won't require stitches. Good luck with race, Mike. Al, shouldn't you be tube shopping?

Because the eventual winner has no clue about what went on. I'd report the a-hole to Ebay, not that his behavior makes any sense. Why would he not want people bidding multiple times??!?

I am not at liberty to discuss the validity of that statement.

Waterproof tactical field notebook.

6 players on my roster are questionable for this week. FML x 6.

Agreed, I had to use small needle-nose pliers to get the job done I didn't listen much before final assembly and what little I did do was non-critical to be sure. What I can say is that I'm not hearing any glaring faults so far, which is to say that I like it quite a bit. I need more time and I'm getting used to a new source concurrently so my listening impressions are going to be pretty limited in specificity.

Happy Birthday!

Im guessing they got hit hard by all the folks too lazy to get the disc. Hopefully it's back up tonight.

I did. It worked once and then stopped working for the rest of the night.

I am about to have a week were none of my WR or RB's score more than 3 points unless MJD has a heck of a second half. FML

A final few parting shots, since I'm now done with this project. Overall - for what it's worth the exposed surfaces all were finished by brushing with 0000 steel wool (the mini-flexi is my new monitor stand for work) Bottom - after the second go at counter sinking the panel is now flush. The dark line you're seeing is actually the concavity of the bottom of the chassis. I actually had to countersink the knob too, since there's so much exposed threaded shaft from the pot. Innards - hopefully I have this setup correctly for resistor bias (please correct me if I don't) Minor Quibble - in the final version you guys need to find a way to make it so that builders don't have to trim the heatsink Otherwise I think that Doug has done a great job with the design of this amp. I'm enjoying it right now as I type this.

Easily one of my favorite movies.

My condolences, Shelly, it looks like you guys gave him a great life.

Yup, ESPN convinced me to bench Maclin, who promptly scored 31. :gasface:

Worst Week Ever I may have to resign.

Oh, I definitely wouldn't be counting on either the adhesive or a threaded portion of plastic. I'd definitely through bolt with lock nuts for the proposed application.
