Our snowblower has been down since late last winter. Should've gotten it fixed, but never got to it. Also been meaning to talk to our neighbor who plows, to see if he'd take us on. Hadn't gotten to that either. Feel like poo and wasn't looking forward to shoveling. Well, while finishing bed time with Penelope, I hear a bunch of noise and look out and said neighbor is taking care of about 60% of my driveway for me. Lucked out... Bigly.

Please do not put Brent and full rip in any future sentence. I think I threw up in my mouth a bit. I guess real Alaskans do too, as I didn't feel a thing.

Agreed. I complete trust the Mac OS cloning/recovery interface, Windows not so much.

Blindead - Absence

The schematic I have says OP27. diffinput3.PDF.pdf

Antonio, time machine should work great for that

Not sure if you're asking ALL or just me, Antonio, but I'm not a Mac user.....

How fucking intuitive .08" = 2.032 mm. .05" = 1.27mm I also take it this doesn't have anything to do with the "Resistor - European Style - 0805" in Kerry's BOM?

Happy belated Birthday!

I updated the BOM for the GR78xx. The GR79xx will be very similar. I'm having an issue exporting it so here's a screen shot. Note: Don't use the 10uF cap from the first BOM.

I wonder how long it will take for a hardware fix in new Intel processors? This messes up my purchasing budget for the next few months at least...

I had indeed gone through some financially troubling times and was trying to raise money for something else when the amp Doug had built for me was on the chopping block but I am glad I was not able to sell it. My requirements were very similar to yours and I was elated with what Doug sent me. I perhaps had the opposite issue - my hearing is/was too sensitive. I heard the noise/hiss from the equipment in the background even at low volumes. I tried the pico slim as well but still had that pervasive hiss in the background. I think for anyone who doesn't have the absurd ears I do, it would make for a great amp. My personal experience with Doug leads me to make the same suggestion purk made - convince Doug to make you something. I gave him my requirements and he came up with the gorgeous looking piece of kit and works better than it looks.

Happy belated Birthday!

Well you still have the short opportunity when the knee jerk reactions settle down.

Black Sabbath

Immigrants! Real Californians sleep right through such a little earthquake.

I am bracing for this one now.....

Fever Ray - Plunge

Zola Jesus - Okovi i think this chick was at lollapalooza somewhat recently but i've no memory of seeing her. probably was riding a secondary high off a group of tweeners nearby...

Guess what I will be working on this week...

The Streets -- A Grand Don't Come For Free One of those classics that you forget about and then every time it comes up on the playlist you are, like, OMG I can't believe I haven't listened to this for this long!

A friend gave me this cool t-shirt. It's a patent drawing of a Jensen headphone from the late fifties/sixties. A little before my time. Did anybody know the story of these things? We're they an innovation? Did they ever amount to anything?

What is the drop of those special diodes you are using? 2.8V drop seems to be about twice what could be expected. In any case you might consider using higher secondaries to provide the regulation some 'room' ... as far as I have experienced 3V is minimum to get regulation, but if the current is above 1.5A is more likely to be 4V .... as for your experience it seem like you have some loss between the VAC input and collector of the pass transistor

See, Trump was right! All this whinging about "global warming" while Florida is freezing. Stupid science.
