It sure looks like there are jumpers on the pcb for changing the input voltage but they also look like they are soldered in which may make changing them a bear. I'd probably just get a properly sized stepdown trafo and call it a day.
I was the same way for a while (but anti-clockwise) but for the first time this morning I just unfocused my eyes a bit and viola, I can see both now. My mind still defaults to anti-clockwise though.
You know what's really effed, if I try hard enough I can get her top to spin one way and her bottom the other. That hurts my head.
Hopefully there will at least be figure skating practice going on at the same time. That was one of the more entertaining parts of doing Phish shows in Placid, mmmm figure skaters...
I'm not sure the Oppo would see the Mini as an external drive in the same way it sees a USB flash drive, actually I'm pretty convinced that it wouldn't.
That sucks man, can you call a cab, walk to the end of the street and go do some grocery shopping? Otherwise I'd seriously consider calling the police and asking for the street to be cleared. WTF would happen if there was a fire or other emergency on the street? Are they going to park up the street and watch someone's house burn?
If cheap is a must have you thought about using a headlamp? You could get a decent one for around half your budget and nothing is going to pack up as easy as that.
Otherwise, something like this which clamps to the edge of the table is exactly what I've used for the last 3 years. Hard to imagine you'd find better for $19 shipped and there are a bunch listed with no bids.
Woke up and cooked breakfast for my Maura, Lily and my parents (who came down to visit). Just met up with Todd/skullguise to do a little gear exchange and now it's time for Super Bowl prep.
I'm somewhat friendly with Brian, the owner of TPA, I'll drop him an email and see if he'd be willing to do anything for us as a small group. Maybe I can get the fab files for the boards and get a small run done, I'd like one as well.
