  1. Update - This project is on hold until I have the mula to buy more sand.

    I hate when stuff is lost.

    I was going to take some in-progress pics after I found my "lost" camera.

    Turns out my daughter borrowed the cam and lost the USB adapter cable.

    Got the camera back but haven't been able to upload nuttin.

    Recently I lost a bag of pricey $$$ sand I had bought from BDent for the KGBH.

    No money in the budget to replace it at this time.

    Prolly wont be until the end of Feb until I can scrape the funds together to replenish.

    Hoping that I will be able to find the lost parts in the meantime.

    Meanwhile, there's a few other DIY projects that i'm pursuing.

    Currently building a 1974 vintage Mark-8 "minicompter".

    There's also a 1971 Kenbak-1 in the works too. This design pre-dated microprocessor chips.

    Still need to find a pcb or some gerbers for the Kenbak.

    Failing that, perfboard with wirewrap is an option.

  2. Ebay?

    Sands not that rare, a bunch for sale over there.

    Could be fakes, though at these low prices I doubt it. Bdent is one of the most reliable sellers but can be rather pricey.

    As for the bridge, most anything will work if it has the correct voltage and current specs. (or a bit higher)

    Pay attention to lead spacing as well. Works for me!

  3. these are too busy.

    when people submit logos to contests, they are intimidated to send in simple designs.

    But simple designs work, especially when they get printed on small materials and literature.

    You should just take the font you used for the BHSE and simply use that without any shapes.

    Its association has already been established on the top tier product, and it accomplishes the cutting edge requirement without getting goofy.

    Simple.

  4. I work in a 45 y/o hospital.

    Today, my focus was to repair a thirty year old patient / nurse call intercom system.

    Had to reprogram corrupted code as well as replace a ton of hardware.

    Think - IBM PC circa 1982 times 40. At least it's not crashing anymore. <<fingers crossed>>

  5. Looks like Stingray City here in Grand Cayman. Almost for sure because I can see where the water breaks at the reef on the horizon which is proportionate to where it should be. Also, they're standing in waist high water which is right as well.

    Yup. That's what the article said. Steve Irwin would have felt right at home.tongue.png
