My box of parts arrived yesterday, everything looks good. The balance of the parts should arrive Monday and I expect to get busy building in the very near future. Right now I'm trying to avoid the compulsion to upgrade the output trafos with the eprint units that Doug hinted at.

Stop asking why V, just roll with it Me: mowed, took delivery of the hackintosh, now resting and laughing at how Apple is really missing the boat by simply not licensing Dell to build these things for them.

They departed over a week ago so they should be in country by now. But I haven't heard a peep out of him or seen him online so I suspect that he's stuck dealing will all of the fun* of moving 10,000 miles to a new continent. *by fun I mean no fun. I try to make sure that the main stereo/HT rig stays very straightforward for that exact reason. The Harmony remote lived up to its name.

Jesus Al... Poor Stretch, he doesn't even get to see this Ayre madness.

I have both but the moles would be really hard to shoot. I have, accidentally, clipped a few with the tractor though. Apparently they do not understand the concept of running away from the very loud noise with the whirring blades.

My war is with a woodchuck. I'm pretty sure he's living in my neighbors burn pile so his habitat is an endangered species and I hope he's got a good smoke detector.

Those look nice, similar to context engineering or whomever manufactures those chassis. I was secretly hoping for these:

Which series are you looking at?

Now you're speaking my language. They really do represent the ultimate in unsafe!

Double D's have never held much appeal for me. I've never been afraid of air wiring though so I may go a totally different direction.

I'd at least like to try to motivate the woodchuck to relocate + wife will not allow an actual firearm into the house nor do I want one.

That's it, the switch is red, there's no way I'm building this. I hope to put the big mill to use on this case, assuming it ever shows up...

Obviously it's very different. It caused massive system failure on the usb side of things (or it in conjunction with .net 4 did) that included but wasn't limited to: disabling two USB ports on the notebook, disabling the webcam, disabling wireless, disabling wired networking, disabling several embedded pieces of software and probably other shit that I didn't bother to notice. Uninstalling recboot and .net 4.0 plus 2 hard reboots finally brought the system back up to normal. So no, I'm not going to try that method again on a Win7 machine and it's utter fucking bullshit that I have to jump through hoops like that to undo Apple ruining the functionality of my phone. [/rant]

You should read the last two pages of this thread and then suggest to me again to try the downgrade using recboot. Here, I'll save you the time.. Recboot nearly nuked my laptop, definitely nuked the phone, somehow in the process itunes killed every backup of the phone that I had consequently trashing every contact, calendar appointment, several apps, etc.

Unfortunately agreed. I feel like we're simply rehashing or at best going through all the same crap again. His little side jobs have been getting less interesting as well. Crud.

I'm not out to kill.

Salty, why the hell would you go to a mall regardless. Malls, blech. In other, related news I spoke with a client who picked up his '4' yesterday. His first comment, "The reception is pretty awful". I've also been noticing that my phone (the 3G from hell) seems to be less than happy about signal strength changes compared to how it was before the *cough* upgrade to ios4. Example, there's a stretch of road on my way to work where I almost always completely lose signal, but it's for less than a mile and it usually picks right back up. Ever since the change to ios4 I've noticed that this dead zone is significantly longer, i.e. streaming radio goes dead for a longer period of time before picking back up. Prior to os4 there would be times when I could get through this entire dead zone on the streaming buffer without a hitch, that hasn't happened once on os4.

Any chance of you sending me the cad file? Or are you using something else to draw these?

http://www.crosman.com/airguns/rifles/break-barrel/BT5M22SNP I'm seriously considering something like this to deal with a few persistent pests around my house.

It's the panel bearing for the shaft extension kit, looks a lot like the front a Neutrik jack so the mistake is understandable.

Tom, Any way to get a few more dimensions on those pdfs? When I open up the end panel drawing it's almost entirely dimensionless.

That's good. I'm not sure it can be denied that it's an issue with some of them (lots of them?). Perhaps your skin just doesn't act as a good capacitive coupler between the two antennas, Jeff, or it knows better than to mess with you?

Bwaaaaaaaaahahahahah - I just watched a live demo of the "don't hold your iphone 4 this way or you'll lose signal". I can't believe that they released the phone like this. I'm sure they'll bill it as a feature. Holy effing fail.

Jeff, Those overdrive results are truly awful, I'd chuck the thing out the window.
