morphsci Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 Make sure to stretch really well before your routine Jim! That in itself would likely land me in the hospital. don't forget to go to The Old Fashioned while you're there! I've been lobbying! Peter ended up with 3rd in his flight and 8th overall in double-mini. He doesn't compete again until Saturday on trampoline.
Voltron Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Congrat to Peter! Plenty of time for you to drink before his next event.
raffy Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Congrats (since he placed in 2 events) to Peter indeed!
manaox2 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Awesome news and congrats. Best of luck on Saturday!
Dusty Chalk Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 I'm just jealous that he gets to be in a "flight". That's awesome. It's like a trip of goats -- a flight of acrobats. Or whatever. Congrats!
Augsburger Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Summer lacrosse league practice today and now helping Mary and Emily pack for their 10 day community service trip to a New Mexico reservation. Ten days of me and the boys hanging out at the homestead. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize in advance for any lame, loco drunk posts you may be subjected to from June 23rd to July 1st. Edited June 22, 2012 by Augsburger
RudeWolf Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Finally got one of my major parts shipments for my Dynalo/Sigma build. The large poly caps ended being too large and I might whip up some clever contraption to connect them. Now I just need to get the Sigma22 board, some caps, RK27 and all of the transistors from AMB until I can proceed. In any case soldering was massive fun. Hadn't had so much of it since I played with my Lego for the last time. Other than that- had the solstice celebration in my work where we had some really nice chicken shashlik. As I don't drink beer (it's really a blessing in disguise sometimes) I didn't have as much fun as some did, but well... I had my fun when I got home and fired up my soldering rod.
Pars Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Rudolfs, You might save some time and money on the sigma22 by getting a kit from Jeff Rossell at Glass Jar Audio... http://glassjaraudio.com/product.sc?productId=3 I know he will allow kit configuration to an extent, so if you already have a transformer, etc. he would probably work with you on that.
RudeWolf Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 I have already all the parts with me or on the way to me for the Sigma22. I did know about the GlassJar but I wasn't sure about getting another overseas supplier. Also all the parts for my Sigma22 have been selected according to the instructions on the AMB site. I'll be sure to double check all the voltages before powering up anything. One thing that does bother me is that polypropylene cap I got for my Dynalo. There is no way I can mount it on the board (27.5mm lead spacing) so I might glue it to the chassis right next or under the PCB. I would then solder sufficient lead extenders and hope for the best really. These were the smallest 4,7uF polyprops I could get and getting them back might not be worth the hassle. Maybe I'll be able to sell them locally.
Pars Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 For the 4.7uf caps, I don't think polypropylene is required. I believe the std. cap for this is a Wima MKS. As you discovered, polypropylene in 4.7uf will be large.
mrarroyo Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Needed to relax a bit so after a three day symposium in Bonita Springs spent a few days in Sanibel Island. Not the best time for swimming but all the snow birds were gone! http://picasaweb.google.com/109437154048....COvB-_neju-E3AE
grawk Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Linux install on part of the Wyoming supercomputer.
Dreadhead Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Very cool Dan. What's the machine name? Want to look it up )
grawk Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 nothing to look up yet, it won't be on the list until after I'm done
Kirosia Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Bought groceries, went $6.25 over budget, TP10 cable broke, came home and cried. Edited June 23, 2012 by Kirosia
Dreadhead Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Cool Dan. We are going to be running on some big iron soonish if all goes well. Sort of excited to do that we have 48 cores right now for development work but I have never run on a real T500 supercomputer.
